**~Quest**~

They followed Ria as she followed where she was being told to go.

They found the opal. She had to break the barrier again. Takeshi stayed alert for anything could happen.

Reamman kept his eye out for anything, or anyone Jade just stood by watching Ria break the barrier around the opal

'Is she a witch?' Jade thought as Ria broke the barrier. Ria took the opal right after the barrier was broken.

'Im willing to bet that is what she is..' Jade added after they left the shrine she remembered being told about witches

Takeshi wanted to stay in the village for a couple of nights so Ria could rest. She complained about it. She wanted to get the opals as soon as possible.

but in the end they ended up renting a couple rooms at the local Inn Ria still wasnt very thrilled about staying in town.

The girls shared a room and the guys had their own. Takeshi wasn't to thrilled about being away from Ria.

"just leave her be you'll just get on her nerves by stifling her" Reamman said with a sweat drop after he saw Takeshi struggling with a bit of "seperation anxiety"

Takeshi silently sulked on his own bed.

Ria was taking a nap at that time.

Jade went to get something to eat while Reamman sat in a chair in his and Takeshi's room polishing his sheild

Ria woke up later and went down to get something to eat. She was half way down when she remembered Takeshi wasn't with her. She knocked on their door. Takeshi pulled her into a hug.

"takeshi....I was in the room next door not on the other side of the world!" she veined as he hugged her tightly, Reamman sweat dropped

"Let's go down for dinner." Ria strained to say without hitting him.

he finally let go of her and they went down Reamman followed, he felt someone jump on his back "hey Ray going to dinner?" Jade asked "yes" he replied "great me too" she said "didn't you just eat?" he asked her "no that was a few hours ago" she said non chalantley, they were sitting at a bigger table now since it was four of them

Ria warned them about eating contests. They were on a budget so now exesive ordering.

both Jade and Takeshi sighed, Reamman had backed up what Ria said. They ordered their food and ate, Jade and Ria did more talking

Takeshi was silently happy that Ria was able to talk to someone else then him. He also felt a bit lonely because of it.

Reamman never said much, he was about as social as a rock, takeshi gave a silent sigh, they finished eating, paid and went back up to their rooms.

Takeshi fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Ria stayed up a bit longer, talking with Jade.

The girls soon fell asleep, Ria was up before the rest of them that morning like always

Ria took a walk around town then came back to the Inn. They were still sleeping by the time she got back.

She wanted to get going to look for the next opal but knew Takeshi would insist she needed to rest some more, she sat in her and Jade's room waiting for them to get up.

They went down for breakfast after everyone was awake. They stayed there for the rest of the day and left the next morning since Ria threatened Takeshi with "that."

As they walked along the river Ria was telling Takeshi and Jade she didn't want to see a single fish that night for dinner, they both sweat dropped at that
