((OOC: Continued from Too Much Time))
IC:
Kilika Port. Fuuri had been here only once when she was a child, but she didn't stay long. The townfolk had warned them of Sin's approach so they left as soon as they were told. Unfortunately for the rest who stayed, they lost their lives. Some were lucky enough to live but their homes were destroyed. Now, Kilika Port was a beautiful Island with even more homes and Hotel spots for travelers.
Fuuri and Raiden decided this was the best place to hide out for the time being until they knew enough info about the operation that took Fuuri's family including herself. She knew they couldn't stay long, but she would definately try and get some information before they left. If not, then they'd just have to keep moving. For now, Fuuri kept a firm grip on Raiden's hand as if he was going to leave her. She was afraid to lose him. Fuuri smiled happily as she pulled him along the wood walkway. There were shops, food vendors, this place was a natural Joytopia so to speak.
Maybe if Fuuri decided to stay here, she and Raiden could live here together one day. Yea, that might work. If they defeated Yevon and made things safe for them again. Though living with a constant hit on you was exciting. Kept you in shape running and fighting all the time. Fuuri looked across the small river that split the village in two sections and saw a hut that was bigger than the rest. She looked at the sign above it and saw that it said "INN".
Fuuri looked over at Raiden before she pointed to it. "There! We can stay there!" Fuuri said excited, but quiet enough so she didn't draw attention to them. She could already see this would be an adventure for them.

Raiden was amazed by the sights and sounds of Kilika port. He's never been to Kilika port before, so this was his first seeing the town. He held on to Fuuri's hand as he followed her around the city. It was great begin in a new city with Fuuri. The place looked very pleasant and seemed like an ideal place for the two of them to live together. This could all be a possibilty when he exposes Yevons true colors and free Fuuri from their grasp. The idea of just the two of them opposing such a large scale enemy did not phase him at all. He would take them all on if it meant clearing their names.
Raiden looked up to where Fuuri was pointing. She was point at an Inn the could stay at for the night. He looked at Fuuri, she seemed so excited and happy. Raiden like seeing this side of Fuuri, because if Fuuri was happy then Raidem would be happy too. "Sure, let's stay there for the night," he said smiling warmly.

Fuuri looked back at Raiden when he agreed to stay at the Inn. She smiled like this (^_^) at him before she started walking along with him. Once they crossed the bridge that was hovering over the river of Kilika between the two halves of the village. They made it to the Inn and Fuuri lead Raiden inside. It looked quite comfy. There were real flowers decorating the inside of the Inn and a small waterfall on both sides of the walls made of rocks. The reception desk was right in the middle of the place and a flight of swirling stairs was on either side of the reception desk leading to the upper level of the Inn.
This had to be the best Inn Fuuri's seen in a while. She had been sleeping outside with nature since she's been here in Spira and she was so excited to see an Inn this nice. Fuuri walked with Raiden up to the reception desk where a receptionist was waiting with a welcoming smile.
Receptionist: Welcome to Kilika Port's Inn. How may I assisst you this evening?
Fuuri: We'd like a room please. One with a nice size bed for two perhaps?
Receptionist: Very well....
The receptionist lady said to Fuuri with a kind grace. Getting one room would be cheaper. Plus, being separated would be bad if the Yevonites found one of them alone. So just in case they would be together. The receptionist slid a key onto the desk in front of Fuuri and smiled.
Receptionist: That will be 75 Gil please.
Eh, 75 gill wasn't all bad. Fuuri was expecting alot more, like 100 or something. Guess they lucked out getting one room for both of them. Fuuri gladly reached in her kimono sleeve and pulled out a pouch that had some spare money in it. She had exactly 150 Gill on her thanks to some odd jobs she managed to get done before she met Raiden. Fuuri placed the 75 Gill on the counter and took the gold key from the desk. "Thank you." Fuuri said smiling. The receptionist merely nodded and Fuuri looked up at Raiden.
"Ready?" She asked wondering if he was tired from the boat ride. She wouldn't mind if he just wanted to go take a nap for a while. It was understandable.

Raiden was pretty amazed be the appearance of the Inn. It was beuatiful, but he felt kinda bad Fuuri paid for him. "Fuuri, you didn't have to pay I would have payed for you," he said. "Well, either way I'm glad to be here," he said smiling, "Well, whenever you're ready I'm ready." They reached the room and opened the door to it. The room looked really pretty, almost would make a person never want to leave. Raiden walked over to the bed and laid back letting out a big sigh of relief. "This is a really nice room, this bed a great for snoozing," he said smiling a Fuuri.

When they got into the room, Raiden layed on the bed and said how comfy it was. Fuuri only smiled at him before she set her umbrella down by a lone chair across the room and came to sit next to him on the bed. She looked around the room, it looked just how a Inn room should look if it was on an island. Very peaceful.
"This is a beautiful place. My home looks something like Kilika. Only more oriental so to speak." Fuuri said smiling at the thought of her homeland. The bed was very soft, most likely stuffed with feathers for comfort. She looked forward to staying here and hoped they would be here for a while before the Yevonites caught up with them.
"I need to talk to the town's people, they may know something. Islands usually hold secrets..." Fuuri said thinking about what the possiblities of this place having a templw would be. She also wondered when people were going to open their eyes and see Yevon for what it was before it was too late. She looked over her shoulder at her Lover and smiled slightly. She reached over and put her delicate hand on his cheek.
"Want to join me in my search for justice?" Fuuri asked in a playful tone.

Raiden smiled as he felt the warmth of Fuuri's soft hand on his cheek. "Justice you say? I would be glad to join you!" he said sitting up on the bed. He stood up and scretched his arms. "This is a perfect place for gathering information on Yevons activities, poking our noses around this town would be beneficial to us both," he said touching his nose. Raiden walked over to Fuuri and gently pulled her of the bed to her feet. "So...let justice prevail!" he said smiling. In a strange way, he was sure this was going to be fun.

"I seen some woods just before we got to the Kilika dock. We should investigate around town then move towards the woods. There's got to be something we can find out." Fuuri said smiling before she stood up. She went to the chair that was across the room and picked her umbrella up from the side of the chair. "I have a good feeling about this." Fuuri said smiling.
She put the room key inside one of the small pockets inside of her kimono sleeve and opened the door for them to leave. Fuuri looked back and smiled at Raiden, she was waiting for him to leave with her.

"Well...that sounds like a very good plan," he said watching. He picked up his katana and tied to his side. He was definitly sure he was going to protect Fuuri in case something unexpected happened. When that time came he would be ready.
He looked around the room and then walked over to Fuuri. "Well, I'm ready to go, so let's jam!" he said with a big smile on his face. He was pretty sure that today he would be able to inch Fuuri closer to find her family.

Fuuri gave Raiden a smile like this (^_^) and continued walking out of the room. She closed the door behind them before she went down the smalll hall and down the spiraling stairs, looking back at Raiden occasionally. Fuuri stepped outside of the Inn. She looked around cautiously before she started walking down the wooden path. Fuuri stopped walking when she came up to a woman and a small boy. The woman was cleaning fresh fish and the small boy was helping her.
The woman looked like she might be at least 25 years old so this little boy might very well be hers.
Woman- Hello there, something you need?
Fuuri- Well yes, information. Have, any of the Yevonites been here as of late?
Woman- Yevonites you say?
The woman said standing up and wiping her hands on her apron. She moved close to Fuuri and looked around before she spoke.
Woman- They come around here about every other month. When they do, people start to disappear. Just last month a friend of mine said the Yevonites took his sister for a walk and talk, and she never came back....
The woman whispered to them. Fuuri thought that sounded pretty suspicious. She looked over at Raiden then back again at the woman.
Woman- There were other incidents like that too. But everyone is too afraid to say anything about it. They're afraid they'll be next....But you didn't hear none of this from me....
The woman said whispering again. Fuuri knew they had their first clue now, and she'd have to repay the lady somehow. Fuuri bowed to the woman and smiled. "Thank you for your knowledge. If there is any way I may be of help to you in the future, please ask." Fuuri said in a kind calm tone.
Woman- You're welcome. I will...
She said before crouching back down to finish cleaning her fish. Fuuri walked down further to talk to Raiden alone. "Sound iffy?" She asked him. That was definately believable in her eyes.

Raiden watched as Fuuri talked to the woman, and listen to what the woman had to say as well. As soon as they finished he watched Fuuri bow and told the woman if she could help in any way. Raiden smiled as he watched, he admired Fuuri's boundless courtesy and charm. This made him fall in love with her over and over again. After that Raiden continued to walk with her and talked about the info. the woman gave them. "Hmmm....it sounds okay to me. Its rather strange that yevonites would come to town and then leave on the same day people go missing. But let's not settle on one small piece of information alone. A good handful should be good enough so we can connect the dots on yevonites motives." he said.

Fuuri nodded when Raiden was done saying his piece. She was so happy Raiden was here with her and helping her. No one could match a love like that. "I agree. We need alot more info than just that. But it was some good information though." Fuuri said with a smile. She then continued walking until the faced the bridge. Fuuri steadily walking over the arched wooden bridge and gave a greeting nod to a senior citizen who was standing on the bridge.
Once they made it across, Fuuri took a different route and went down the stairs ahead of her and started walking down the other half of the village. Fuuri found herself stopping again and looking over at two women and a man selling healing potions and armor. She walked over to them with a smile and sat down in front of the women as they were sitting as well. She looked up at Raiden motioning for him to sit with her. It was out of respect naturally.
Young Vendor- Would you like to buy some potions today miss and mister?
The girl had to be only 14 years old. Yet she was so kind and knew how to do business. "Um, actually, I wanted to ask something. If you didn't mind of course." Fuuri said bowing her head to them to assure she wasn't being rude.
Vendor woman- Ask away, as long as it isn't personal.
She said with a playful tone. The man selling the armor just stayed silent and waited for Fuuri to ask her questions. "Do you know anything about the Yevonites possibley coming to different cities and kidnapping random people?" Fuuri asked straight forward. They all looked at each other briefly before the man stepped up and answered for them.
Armor man- I shouldn't be saying anything on the subject. The mere mention of suspicion around here will get your head taken off...
The man said looking around a little before he spoke, just like the woman they spoke to before did.
Armor man- Lately, people in the village, including travelers like yourselves have been going to the temple and never coming back. We just assumed they wanted to stay in the temple, but some people are saying otherwise. And so am I....
Fuuri was a bit curious as to what this incident meant. Was it related to the other incidents? "Where is this temple? Is it in those woods?" Fuuri asked in a determined voice. The man nodded to Fuuri before he handed her a rolled up piece of paper.
Armor man- This is a map of the woods. The temple is located inside, be careful travelers..
He said to Fuuri wishing her and her male companion well. Fuuri recieved the map and smiled before she gave him a grateful nod. She stood up and bowed to all three of them. "I humbley thank you. Don't hesitate to ask me for help in the future..." Fuuri said happily. It was amazing how much they were being helped. She looked over at Raiden before giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Let's go."

Raiden sat with Fuuri and listened in silently accessing the information they were receiving from the male vendor. As soon as the conversation was done Fuuri bowed again and thanked them. Raiden decided he should do so as well. After all they were helping out the woman he loved, so he should be thanking them too. He stood up and shook the male vendor's hand saying,"Thanks friend." He then turned around to look at Fuuri who kissed him on the cheek.
Raiden cheeks turned red as he put his hand on his cheek. He he started to walk and followed Fuuri. Raiden was rather glad the people were open to giving them information. "This is an awesome lead, we should investigate the temple alittle. Let's be careful though," he said gripping the hilt of his katana. If people were going into the temple and dissapearing then the same could happen to the two of them if they were careful.
The two of them reached the forest and entered it. More thoughts ran through his head as he walked along with Fuuri. 'What could the yevons be doing....' he said to himself.

The Kilika woods were noisey with the sound of monkeys going around. It was a natural habitat indeed. Fuuri looked straight ahead as far as she could see. She saw a dead in but another pathway was there as well. It looked too easy. You could never walk a straight line in life. Fuuri looked to her left and seen two more paths. She looked down at the map they were given and pointed to their left. "We'll go this way..." Fuuri said quietly. Who knows who might be listening or watching them.
As she walked with Raiden towards the first path with Raiden, she suddenly heard deep male voices and footsteps snapping twigs. "(gasps) Raiden!" Fuuri said alarmed but in a whisper. Fuuri snatched Raiden out of sight and turned down a narrow path to hide behind a thick tree. She crouched downpulling Raiden down with her, she had her umbrella ready to strike. "Sssshhhhh. You hear?" Fuuri whispered to Raiden as she listened in.
Voice 1- Quiet! I heard something! Voice 2- I heard it too...Spread out.. Voice 3- Right, could be a villager or a maybe a rogue...
It was three Yevonites. What could they possibley want here in Kilika? Wait! "Raiden, they must have a secret base at the temple! We have to go there now." Fuuri said still whispering, one of the guards walked passed their hiding spot and Fuuri pressed her lover behind the tree with her so he wouldn't get caught and listened. Waiting for them to go away. They were in a tight spot.

Raiden stayed close to Fuuri behind the tree and didn't make a sound. The Yevonite was not far from them, he bit his lip and held Fuuri close. Everything would be in jeopardy if the two of them were found out. Sneaking into the temple would be out of the question if the Yevonites notified their buddies back at the temple. Raiden didn’t want this to happen, if they were found out then their chances of finding out more answers on the Yevonites motives would be crushed. Raiden stayed quiet a little while longer until the Yevon walked away. Raiden was relieved, but things would get harder the further they approached the temple.

Fuuri let out a big sigh when the Yevonite walked passed them. She was sure he was going to find them.
Voice 2- It was probably your mind playing tricks on you man. Voice 3- Yea, you did party a little hard last night. Voice 1- Whatever. Just keep sharp... Voices 2&3- Yes sir.
Fuuri quietly pulled the map out again and looked at it with the dim light they still had. After looking for a few seconds Fuuri stuffed the map back into her kimono sleeve and and looked down the path behind them. "C'mon, we have to go this way. It's the safest...." Fuuri said still whispering. She got up and started walking carefully down the narrow path that led them to a curved log that crossed a stream. It kind of acted as a bridge. Fuuri looked around before she lead Raiden and herself out in the open.
She took his hand and ran across the log quickly so she wouldn't look down and hesitate, then possibley fall. Fuuri kept walking along looking out for more Yevonites. Soon, they came upon a cross path that appeared to have steps at the end of it. Fuuri hid behind a tree and peeked from the side of it. One Yevonite was pacing back and forth with a flame thrower. " I don't mean to be captain obvious but, Those steps must lead to the temple." Fuuri said certain of her suspicion. The issue of how to get pass was next to tackle.
