You Can't Make An Omlette...[FINISHED]

[Solomon Koukon]

"Yeah, actually," Solomon said with a chuckle and a nod. "I just checked into one a few minutes ago."

Solomon pointed down the street across from the alleyway entrance point, showing the green haired man where the building was.

"It's a pretty nice spot," he told him. "As a matter of fact, from what I heard this entire town used to be pretty nice until the Skylight Industries takeover. I swear; if there's anything else I hate other than an unfair fight, it's big business."

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

Yukio pulled out the fish bone he was chewing on earlier and started at it again. Before speaking he bit down on it and answered, "Yeah, what Solomon said..." he then chewed on it some more. Listening to the Inn part made him wonder how he'd get his Zan safe someplace. No way in hell or any world he'd be able to hide it in side the Inn.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Yoshi crossed his arms and surveyed the inn upon given direction. He smiled gently. "I hope you fellows don't mind if I join your company for awhile....I feel as if there is more to our meeting than a coincedence..." Yoshi then turned and looked around some more as if he was looking for answers to a question no one asked. Looking up toward the Sky, Yoshi spoke again, unloading his bow(Ymir) from his Shoulders.

"I have an Idea..."

Grabbing a Rather large Arrow from his Quiver, Yoshi fired it high on the Rooftop to the left of the Alleyway, Making a rather hard clank, the tips of the Arrow Snapped down into the brick, gaining an even harder grip. The Tip then opened,and Chains began to unravel down to a reachable height, with a good jump.

"We can store the weapon on the roof, and seal it in a thick layer Ice. In the morning we will come and retrieve it before we move onward. "

Yoshi walked over to the dangling makeshift rope, forgetting he failed to talk it over before formulating a plan.

"That is...if it's okay with you, Yukio."

[This takes place about two or three days after the events of "(Not-So) Ordinary People"]


Mercelle awoke inside his first class room as the ship docked in Westminister. With his things gathered and his personal assistant conveniently carrying them off the ship, the Vice President of Skylight Industries smirked as he walked down the stairway leading to the paved grounds of the London suburb. As per usual, he made it to the meeting point before his assistant did, giving him time to people watch. And when he did, he noticed a green haired man with a bow and a set of arrows leave the lower bowels of the ship, heading east. Mercelle chuckled to himself.

"Peasant," he said underneath his breath.

"Mr. DuBois?" he heard his assistant call.

Mercelle looked behind him to see his assistant carrying his luggage. He then flicked his fingers as he began to walk. "Follow me," he said with his thin French accent.

The two continued to walk down the streets of Westminister as Mercelle noticed how much his old vacation/out-of-business spot changed since the corporate takeover. They weren't even walking for about seven minutes, and already Mercelle could hear a fight underway, not to mention a rather random chill in the air. But by the time he and his assistant reached an inn that he owned, he smiled.

"Here we are," he said as he stood outside the front door. He took the time to survey the outside, when he noticed an arrow shot in-between the brick of the wall.

Mercelle didn't bother to question the situation, but that didn't stop him from reminiscing on the man with green hair that left the boat with him earlier. He turned to his assistant and pointed at the front door.

"You may leave my belongings near the front desk," he said, "then you may make your leave. Your tip will be awaiting you on the ship."

"Thank you, sir," he said before heading inside immediately.

Mercelle chuckled, slowly following the man inside. By the time he was near the front desk, he passed his assistant as he headed outside. With another chuckle, Mercelle rang the front bell.

"Coming, coming," Mercelle heard the innkeeper yell from the back. Once he came out, his smile slowly turned into a serious look.

"Mr. DuBois..." he said.

Mercelle smiled. "Hello, Raspin," he said to the innkeep. "How's my investment?"

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

-:{Sorry for the wait guys ^^'}:-

Yukio listened to him and contemplated on it. He really hated to looze his blade. But he smiled and nodded his head, "Yeah, sounds like an awesome idea Yoshi." He then looked to his Zanza and then at the rope. Mostly wondering how he'd get it up. "So how am I to get it up there?" he said as his Kyoto accent got in the way making it hard to understand somewhat.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Yoshi pulled his bow back over his shoulders before turning his back to the gentlemen. Exhaling, Yoshi ran off down the alley, Eyeing a dumpster. Leaping atop it, He then took a piar of extra steps before springing off the farside wall and back to the nearside,hang off of the roof. Pulling himself up wit a bit of effort. he dusted himelf off and walked over to the arrow. Smiling, he said, "Use the chain and pull it up to me."

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

Yukio smirked. But then got confused, "Alright.... I think I can do that. He then looked at the chain and walked over and yanked it. It seemed sturdy. He then slipped his arm through a leather strap and thenmade sure it wouldn't fall and grabed the chain. He then winced when gripping it with his left hand and sighed and then climbed up enough to enable him to swing up. Grabbing the ledged he then pulled himself up and set his Zanza over it and climbed up more. Standing up he shook his left hand and rubbed it, "Damn Futae no Kiwami.... one more week... one more week.... then it will be healed...." he mumbled to himself. "Alright brought it up... painfull as it was...." he said the last part refering to his hand mostly.

[Solomon Koukon]

Solomon folded his arms and watched as Solomon and Yukio went through the motions of trying to get the giant sword on the roof. He was impressed with Yoshi's acrobatic ability, but as he watched him head to the roof, he noticed that there was a fire escape attached to the wall of the inn as clear as day.

"Uhh," he stammered, "Yoshi-?"

"Use the chain and pull it up to me," he heard Yoshi instruct Yukio.

Solomon turned to Yukio. "Yukio, you could just..."

"Alright... I think I can do that," Yukio cut Solomon off.

Solomon just stood there, baffled. The fact that there was a fire escape would have made the whole situation that much simpler. A regular person would have just let them go through it the hard way. But Solomon was persistent; he had to get his point across.

As Yukio started to struggle, Solomon walked toward the struggling tourist.

"Uhh, Yukio?"

"Damn Futae no Kiwami," he heard him as he accidentally cut him off. "One more week; one more week. Then it will be healed."

That's it. If they weren't going to listen to him, he would make them see for themselves. He walked over to the end of the fire escape and leaned against it.

"Alright, brought it up... painful as it was..."

Solomon knocked on the fire escape to get both Yukio and Yoshi's attention. He smirked as he placed his hand back in his pocket.

"So you mean to tell me that neither of you noticed the fire escape?" he asked politely.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Yoshi looked gently over the rooftop and sighed deeply. "There aren't too many buildings around like this where I'm from." Skaking his head, he walked back over to where the sword lay and spread his hands over the weapon palms flat. Slowly, Ice began to spread over it, covering it within seconds and encompassing it entirely. Afterward, yoshi made his way Over to his Arrow. Slowly pulling out a small dagger from his boot, he chipped at the wall a few times before re-sheathing the blade. Pulling up the chain, he then Leapt of the roof, somersaulting. The Chank Yanked, And left Yoshi Swinging. He gave it a good tug, but it wouldn't give. Sighing again, He kicked off of the same wall while pulling. This gave him enough force to pull the arrow from the wall. Finally reaching the ground gave the arrow a pull an reeled it in as it was swinging wildly.
"Done. Yet I suppose that could've been easier." Yoshi replied, refering to the Fire escape. Kind of winded, Yoshi put the Arrow back together. "I could use a rest. So where IS that HOTEL?? i'VE HAD enough of this alley for one night!"

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

Yukio looked at Solomon and sighed, "Sorry Solomon. And same here, where I am from I never see that..." he then went down it. Not wanting to go back down that other way. He then undid the wrapp on his hand and looked at it. The herb paste was dry again. He then pulled out a tin and rubbed it on and stuck it back in his pocket and wrapped his hand up, "Yeah why don't we go back to the inn. I'd like to rest my legs... all the walking hurts." he then rmembered somehting he should have when He was in the bigger part of london. Reaching in his pocket he pulled out a twenty and smirked, "Wonder how long I've had this...." he never used it yet.

[Human NPC]

"Everything is just as you left it, Mr. DuBois," the innkeeper told his boss. "Business has been picking up lately; it's the holiday season here in England, you know."

Mercelle swayed his hair behind his ear as he leaned against the table separating the two men. "Yes, I'm sure," he said to the innkeeper. "Do me a favor and have someone escort my belongings to my suite? I'll be here for quite a while."

"I take it you're here on business, then?"

Mercelle's eyes narrowed at the innkeep. "What gave you that idea?"

"Nothing, sir," he said. "It's just usually that whenever you're here and you want someone to escort your own things."

Mercelle huffed. He was upset that he became so readable. But he shrugged it off and continued.

"It would appear so," he said. "So how about that escort?"

[Solomon Koukon]

Solomon chuckled to himself as he watched Yoshi and Yukio come back to the ground in their own way. They both talked about the inn, wanting to check in since neither of them have yet. Silently, Solomon agreed; he needed all the rest he could get if he was going to make it to London in the morning.

"Sure," he said to his two new friends out loud. He pointed to his left side. "It's right down this way."

That's when Solomon saw that Yukio found a twenty pound bill in his pocket. From the look of it, he was just as surprised as Yukio was, since it wasn't even an hour ago that he was asking if they accepted Japanese currency at the inn.

"Heh," Solomon said as he walked toward Yukio. "From the looks of the bill, it seems like it's been in your pocket for a good four or five hours." He smirked. "It's a habit I have, you see."

Suddenly, Solomon's canine instincts kicked in as he got a whiff of the bill. The scent of the bill had Yukio's scent, but another man's scent as well. As a matter of fact, the scent was familiar to a man that he was looking for; a man that was the reason he came out to England for to help him find his father.

Solomon pointed at the bill, trying to hide the surprise on his face. "Who gave you that?"

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

"Something the matter solomon?" Yoshi said without pausing as he continued to re-ravel the chain into the arrow. With a few modifications, it could be recyled. Why waste it?

Once he had it wrapped up, he loojked up as the clouds were clearing, revealing a full moon. He looked back at solomon questionably, then to Yukio, down at the bill, then back to Solomon. He just didn't understand the urgency in his voice...

[Solomon Koukon]

"Something the matter Solomon?"

The young Youkai immediately snapped out of it after hearing Yoshi address him. He looked his way to see him re-raveling the chain he shot out of that arrow of his, only to notice that the man was staring at him as if he were a bit concerned.

Solomon realized what was going on. He being an Ookami Youkai, he tended to display habits of his wolved brethren. Whenever he tended to do this, he would freak out his company at the time. Plainly, Solomon tried his best to make sure that no one he meets finds out he's a Youkai, on account of people fearing what they don't understand.

So, in answer to Yoshi's statement, Solomon smiled, chuckling off his sudden nervousness. "No," he said. "Nothing's wrong. I was just wondering how Yukio got that bill. He told me that all he had was Yen."

Solomon stretched, trying to get rid of the extra nervousness from the situation. Once he was done, he was his old friendly self.

"But let's head to the inn," Solomon said. "I just remembered that I have my carry-on by the front desk. I wouldn't want history to repeat itself twice in the same day."

[Human NPC]

The innkeeper immediately knocked on the door behind him. After a few seconds, he opened the door to see a boy reading a book, tapping a pencil to his face. Seemingly thrown off of whatever it was he was doing, he looked at both the innkeeper and Mercelle.



"Yes, sir?" the boy asked the innkeeper.

"Roger, be a good lad and take this man's bags to the Red Horn suite," the innkeeper instructed.

The boy named Roger placed the book and pencil down, stood up and nodded. "Yes, sir," he said to the innkeeper. He immediately grabbed the bags and smiled at Mercelle. "Good evening, sir."

Mercelle smiled in response. "Good evening," he replied. He watched as the boy went upstairs before staring at the innkeeper, who handed him his key.

"There you go Mr. DuBois," he said.

"Thank you," he told innkeeper. As he grabbed the key, he noticed that there was a bag still by his foot. Frowning at the oddity of the situation, he glanced back at the innkeeper.

"I say," he said as he pointed at the bag. "It seems that your bellhop forgot one of my bags."

The innkeeper looked at the bag and chuckled. "Oh that," he said as he checked the roster. "That bag belongs to a... Solomon Koukon, his name is. He checked in a while ago and ran off."

Mercelle studied the bag closely. "Well," Mercelle said, "whoever this... Solomon is, he certainly knows where to shop. It looks like it came from the same parlor as mine..."

The innkeeper smirked a bit. "Then I guess great minds think alike, ay governor?" he joked.

Mercelle's face refused to move.

The innkeeper cleared his throat and nodded. "Enjoy your stay, sir."

Mercelle flicked his hair back. "I will," he said as he headed to the elevator. Once inside, he pressed a button that would take him to the top floor. He stood inside patiently, his eye contact with the lobby not being broken until the doors closed in front of him.

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

Yukio looked to him and scratched his head, "Uh, I don't recall but a guy who was a foot shorter, long hair, and a nasty atitude..." he then handed the bill to Solomon and stuck his hands into his pockets, "Hey Solomon Yoshi, maybe it would be best if we did go to the inn. That way no way anyone could listen in. And so I can get a room for the night." it was hard to tell but he agreed. Just made it sound like he re-said it different. He even winced hearing himself say that. But it was a little funny.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

As they made their way into the inn, Yoshi began to internalize. 'What an interesting chain of events. I wonder what other secrets we have yet to encounter.

Yoshi proceeded to the counter and waited for the others so that they could pay evenly. All he wanted to do was rest. That, and find out exactly what the deal was on that bill. Yoshi was smart enough to know that there was more to this than meets the eye.

[Solomon Koukon]

By the time Solomon reached the front counter again, he was somewhat surprised to see that his bag was still there. Grabbing it, he looked at his two new friends before turning around to look at the bill.

The scent was sure to have belonged to him; there was no doubt. The fact that he came in contact with Yukio was of great coincidence. But even though he finally had his scent and could track him down relatively easily, it would still help if he knew the location Yukio was when he ran into him.

Plus, he still didn't know his name...

After fortifying the man's scent in his brain by taking another smell of the bill secretly, Solomon turned around and faced Yukio and Yoshi again. He placed the bill back in Yukio's hand and patted him on the back.

"Here," he told him. "You need this more than I do."

[RyuSeiko, Yukio]

Yukio smiled at least Solomon's things were there. He then walked in further and watched Solomon curiously. What was he doing? But it was none of his business. He then walked forward again to see Solomon give him the bill. "Thanks." he then went over to the counter and looked to Solomon, "So... do you know how much would be a two day stay?" he said and then went to the counter and leaned on the counter. Trying to figure out how come Solomon wanted to know about the bill.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

After paying for a couple of nights, Yoshi, Yukio, and Solomon walked up and into their White walled, Cosy room., There were two beds with a rollaway in the corner. Green shades covered the windows. Yoshi took his backpack off and placed it in the corner next to the rollaway bed as if to mark his choice, then he sank down to the floor and tucked his knees into his chest. He was glad to have finally settled down. Yet, there was so much to think about. He was already about halfway around the world. And knee deep in adventure. So much to...think....about....

Yoshi continued to ponder, drifting away to sleep in that very postion
