"What's a shower?" Akuma asks, the sun covered over suddenly by clouds. Thick clouds that indicate soon to be thunder and lightning. The four members of Sabertooth looking at her with complete shock.

"You don't know what a shower is Akuma?" Sting asks her, his visible eyebrow rises as Frosche frowns. Akuma's eyes stay forward as Rogue and Sting hoist her up onto the mountain pass. Their hands detaching from hers.

Akuma shakes her head faintly, Sting gapping before walking quickly on ahead with Lector. "Let's get you a shower then!" He yells, the yell echoing firmly throughout the mountain pass.

"Where are we going, Rogue? And what is this, 'Sabertooth' that thy speaks of?" Akuma asks, her orbs flickering around, yet her face not moving. Frosche slowly shifting in her partners arms. A little yawn leaving her mouth.

"We're going to stay at a hotel. Get you dressed nicely, then return to Sabertooth in the morning and see if you can be recruited." Rogue states, keeping his eyes trained on her as they follow closely behind Sting and Lector. Rogue even catching the confusion that spreads across her face.

"Sabertooth is also our guild." He finishes. Sting glancing over his shoulder and waggling his finger.

"Strongest guild in Fiore, Rogue buddy. We, Akuma, are the Twin dragon Slayers, the Real dragon slayers." He smirks cockily. "Well, here's the town. Let's get to the hotel and get you Sabertooth ready." He fist bumps Lector before continuing to take the lead.

"Fro likes your ears!" Frosche squeals out of no-where, climbing up onto Rogue's shoulder, leaning over and running her paws over the studs, hoops and bar. A very faint smile gracing Akuma's lips before it vanishes as they slowly begin their walk through the town.

Eyes staring towards the group of fives with a range of expressions. Many worried glances towards the sudden new female walking amongst them. Akuma's eyes darting around suddenly now, taking every new things in. From the stone roads and houses, to the carts containing many foods and items that can be bought, sold and auctioned.

"This place that thy brought me to... Is what thy call a town?" Akuma asks questionably, her lips parted as she takes very shallow breathes. No sound coming from her feet as they press lightly onto the stone pavement. The bruises and cuts getting a tad bit worse from the stone road.

"Seriously... How long have you been in that cellar, Akuma?" Lector asks, scratching the back of his head. His eyes flashing a hint of worry and grief. Probably grimacing as he looks away from her. Akuma shrugs her shoulders faintly. Her eyes still lingering on the surroundings.

"Here we are!" Sting calls out, smugly grinning as Akuma looks towards the large, and fancy looking building in front of them. "We'll get you into the room. Then us four have to go get our reward." Akuma nods faintly, following into the grand foyer of the hotel. Her wax like heart accelerating by simply brushing her hand against Rogue's.

After the very long walk, all because Akuma's very small strides, the twin dragon slayers have found out absolutely nothing about her. Her confusion is pretty much real, but it only shows in the tone of her voice. Her face staying neutral. If it wasn't for her lips moving with each word. She would look almost empty, a hollow shell.

Each member of Sabertooth fired questions at her throughout the long walk. To see if they could retrieve any form of knowledge from the being they are bringing to Sabertooth, yet nothing. Nil. Zero. She knew nothing. Guilds... Jobs... Towns... Cities... Wars... Exceeds... Dark Mages... Dragons...

- Or, for the last one. A spark of memory filling in those soulless orbs before it vanished quickly. A feeling that is foreign to Akuma lingering behind her ribcage. Rogue being the only one to notice it, attaching to memory to ask her about it later.
