Ian put his sword away.
"They're being overprotective again." Phoebe sighed slumping onto the couch.
"Someone made it into the other realm." Ian explained. "And we didn't want to take any chances."
"But I could have helped. Thats what senshi do, right Cassy?" Phoebe asked looking over at her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James threw up another quick shield as he drew his sword.
"You are not welcome here, witch." James said taking his stance.

"You're right Phoebs, yes, but you're like the prize pick of the senshi around these parts, so they're quite afraid of you getting damaged." she smiled and crossed into the kitchen. "Do either of you want a drink?" she said, and the sound of the kettle switching on was obvious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara rolled her eyes.
"I didn't quite expect a royal reception, no." she said, forming a new shape with her hands and creating a whip-like weapon with her dark matter that she seemed so good at making.

"Yes, Thank you, Cassy." Ian said. "But where is Auron? I'd like to get back."
"So do I," Phoebe said glumly. "What If James gets hurt?" she pressed.
"He'll be fine. He hasn't lived this long without some skill, Phoebs." Ian said. And to avoid any more confrontation from the sullen and agitated, Ian made his way to the kitchen. "Need any help, Cas?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James smirked. "At least, you're creative with your weapon choices. The last intruder I had to deal with was rather boring." Without much effort, His blade began to glow blue like the the arrowheads.

"Could you get the cups out of the cupboard, please?" said Cassy as she opened the fridge, gesturing to the cupboard just above the kettle. "Auron just went out because I had no curry left. He should be back soon." she re-emerged, holding a carton of milk and what appeared to be a resealed pot of strawberry yoghurt. She placed the carton down on the side and grabbed a spoon from the drawer, before opening the yoghurt pot and taking a large spoonful.
Now visible, the contents of the yoghurt pot appeared to be the same strawberry yoghurt it should be, mixed with a rather congealed, reddy-brown sauce and chunks of meat.

"umm," Ian started when he turned around with three cups in hand. His eyes were fixed on the yougart carton. "Cas, do I want to know?" He asked while still staring at the the odd contents in disgust.

"Possibly not," said Cassy, taking several mouthfuls, before speaking again, "It's strawberry yoghurt and chicken Tikka Masala curry. I can't actually think of anything more tasty at the moment." she smiled and made her way back over to the kettle, taking the cups from Ian and finding teabags.
~~~~~~
"Well, if I'd like I compliment, I'm sure 'not boring' will do for the moment," said Kiara, coiling her whip around her palm. Truth be told, Kiara was nervous. She wasn't used to things not just doing as they should. She knew her mother had set her a difficult task, but she honestly hadn't expected it to be this difficult before she'd even encountered her target.

"Are you going to use that or play with it?" James asked with a smirk as he flourished his sword as if to make a point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"At least Aqua doesn't like that, I'd wouldn't be able to watch her eat." Ian said turning so he didn't have to look at it.

"You're such a wuss," said Cassy around another mouthful. She stopped for a moment and looked mildly serious.
"What kind of intruder are we talking about, Ian? If it was someone low profile surely James would be here by now..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiara scowled and her response was to crack the whip at James quite viciously, aiming for his cheek,.

James only had to move ever so slightly to avoid the whip's tip, grinning as he did.
"I suggest you leave, young one, before I get mad." James said in a warning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know" Ian said darkly. "I expected him back by now too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Phoebe anwsered her cell phone as it rang, not noticing as Auron came in the door with a shopping bag.
"Sparks? Hey, hows it going? ..... Oh, I can't. ... Currently, Ian has me on house arrest...Yeah, some baddie showed up during training and they wouldn't even let me try to fight her.... No, James gets to have all the fun...At least, Link trusts you..."
Auron didn't hear the rest of what Phoebe said, but he went straight to the kitchen. The expressions that greeted him didn't help what he had just heard.
"Sounds like the elf needs back up." He said setting down the bag before kissing the top of Cassy's head.
"Phoebe told you?" Ian asked.
"More or less." Auron shrugged. "Where do you need me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...Really? Awww, Abby too. .. I so want to go. ...Well maybe i could sneak out..." Phoebe said a smile spreading across her face.

"If there is one thing you do not do, it is frighten me," stated Kiara, eyes darkening as she went to slice across James's middle with the whip.
~~~~~~~~~
Cassy looked from Ian to Auron, wondering which one of them would actually go to assist James.
"Shall I ring Jade?" she offered, beginning to make cups of tea. "Tea, dear?" she added, looking to Auron.

Ian stiffened at Cassy's suggestion of Jade, but perhaps it would be better. She was a very skilled fighter even without the powers of the phoenix. But he had been hoping to avoid a confrontation with Logan.
"Yeah, that way we can both go, and Jade can help you here. I don't like the idea of leaving you alone." Auron said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
James jumpped back a bit and stuck his arm out. He was certain it would be painful, but he had a plan. He let the whip wrap around his arm. Then he grabed the part of the whip closest to his hand and pulled.
In the distance, Ariana approached the meadow with a basket in hand. When she saw what was happening she fought the urge to scream or something, because currently the enemy James was fighting had her back to Ariana and she knew she shouold take advantage of that.

"I'm not completely incapable, you know," said Cassy with a smile, finishing the tea and passing them out, picking up Phoebe's and carrying it into the living room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whip around James's arm hissed and began to meld to the flesh, almost branding it. However, the attack had taken Kiara completely by surprise and so the whip was torn from her hands.

James shook the thing off as quickly as he could. He had been bracing himself for the pain and didn't give the burns on his arms a second glance.
"You were saying?" He asked her. Behind her, James could see Sailor fey approaching from behind for a sneak attack. With a smirk, James knew he needed to keep the girls's attention on him. James wasn't interested in killing the girl, but he did want questions anwsered. So why not start now.
"Why are you here?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But Phoebe was no longer on the couch, or even in the room. In her haste, she had left the front door open and there was no note to be found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
In the kitchen, Ian filled Auron in on the few details he had.

Cassy's heart pounded faster before she frowned. "Oh, for the love of.." she muttered to herself, placing the cup of tea down and then grabbing her jacket, knowing that both Ian and Auron would panic, and not really in the mood for their mollycoddling.
"I'm off to find your teenager!" she said, slamming the door as she went and rolling her eyes to herself. Inside her heart was still pounding, but she knew both Auron and Ian would jump to the conclusion that Phoebe had been taken, and she wanted to investigate the rebellious teenager possibility first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why would I answer YOUR questions?" asked Kiara coldly, trying to disguise the shake in her voice as she began to create a new whip. She was running out of energy, and quite quickly too.

"Becuase I might not kill you then. Lets try again, Why are you here?" James asked taking a step closer. It would be harder to use her whip if he was closer.
Sailor Fey was only a little bit away now ready to strike at James' signal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Ian and Auron both ran into the living room after Cassy had left. Auron did think she had been taken. But Ian knew how annoyed Phoebe had been, and there was no sign of a struggle and no one had felt the use of magick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoebe once a good distance away before she attempted any magick. She knew she needed wheels in order to meet Sparky and Abby for the Marron 5 concert Sparky had snagged tickets for. So she transformed and then teleported to Jade's garage. She smiled as she found the hidden spare key for the Jade's motorcycle. Phoebe was determined to have some fun tonight.
