"Too bad," Gojaru let himself in and saw just way Chaos couldn't go out at the time. He spoke in a quieter tone not to wake Aya but loud enough for Chaos to clearly hear. "You'll have to listen to your captain and ultimately, it's not even your choice, I'm just letting you know. As captain I'm calling Aya to return to the ship, I'm sure she'll have no inconveniences with that, then she can come along with the rest of the crew. Of course the crew needs to be taken care of by our own doctor, so Yuki will be leading all medical procedures when we arrive at Cure Valley; and you'll get to spend more time together. Oh yeah and part of the good news is that we have realized that Aya has a special ability to make Catzuki control her temper just by being there. We need her special power, this is a mission I'm giving to Aya."

The words came, left his ears, came back and he sat there in a stupor as he tried to imagine what Gojaru must be thinking to let such a sick woman on board. It wasn't that he wasn't happy about it, just the opposite but being the stubborn man that he is, he wanted to protest. The words processed again. And he gave a grimace before he groaned.
"Ah well that will be nice, having the demon cat following Aya around all of the time." Chaos spoke, 'Hardly leaves her any time for me' he mumbled before giving a sigh. "I do have to disagree with you though, Captain, it is my choice. I have to sign Aya's release forms." He looked up at Gojaru, "But this saves me a lot of trouble." He inhaled slowly before fixing Aya's position so she was resting comfortably and he could stand.
Chaos stood and straightened his uniform. "I like the idea, by all means, I'm just concerned. What can we do on Starlight that they couldn't do here?" He wasn't trying to offer resistance but he had to know that she would get more help with them than here. He had a lot to think abotu and had already made enough choices he didn't like to remember.

"Think of it as Aya having a demon cat body guard," Gojaru joked.
"You should know paper work has never been much of a problem for me," paper work or the law, Gojaru should have added. But he knew Chaos would get what he meant so there was no need. Pirating out of sheer dislike for slow paper work, rather than necessity was not unheard of his his crew.
"As things stand now we can offer on the Starlight Falcon basically the machines and medicines they have here, plus a more pleasant cheerful atmosphere, entertainment, friendship and an atmosphere that doesn't stink of whatever medicines they're putting on the patient next door. After we get to Cure Valley, who knows what more we'll have, but even now our ship has more to offer than this place."

"Sure," Chaos rolled his eyes, "That's pleasant."
Sadly, or perhaps fortunately Chaos understood all to well. In fact busting Aya out seemed like far more fun. The fact of the matter was even with written and spoken consent most doctors would argue with Chaos and he would be forced to yell at them and then of course, inevitably as his mind jumped to the conclusion he would have to kill them and he would be forced into jail. He did not prison, he did not like the galaxy police and he didn't want to deal with a bunch of stiff, arrogant doctors.
Aya was extremely sick, contagious perhaps and that alone would be enough to keep her here. Chaos's mind turned over this idea and possibility. Starlight did have a lot mor ein way of comfort and that was enough for Chaos.
"Is this going to end up being like Saturn?" he inquired to Gojaru with a hint of amusement in his voice. One of many breakout adventures that they both (probably by sheer stupid luck) survived.
Meanwhile, Yuki was headed to find the head of the staff to get clearance forms. Sure she had security clearance for certain places but what she'd really need was leverage...and money. She found Catzuki on her way out, "Excuse me, Miss Nekish?" She quickened her pace to catch up with the woman, "I was wondering if I could get your help. As our employer your...input on Aya's affairs will be very helpful." She paused, "I really just need you to persuade the Chief of staff to meet with us concerning Aya's release."

Gojaru grinned at the memory of the Saturn breakout. "If we make it to be that way it can. Maybe it could even be more fun."
xoxox xox xoxox
Catzuki paused, holding a growl in her throat. She was very temperamental, leaving Aya with that man didn't feel good. She was about to yell something along the lines of 'can't you do anything' but Yuki was going to be Aya's doctor, she might lose her focus if they were at war, so she tried to make an effort not to have an argument with Yuki. With a deadly glare in her golden eyes, Catzuki started walking in the general direction of the main office, while typing up a message in the communication device. Dr. Lait was a big authority when it came to health institutions and though he worked at Cure Valley, his first and most important job was being the Dibu's family doctor. His call should provide some influence then hopefully the doctors would not protest too much about listening to Catzuki and she wouldn't have to beat the life out of them. She summarized it all in a simply statement "It will be in their best interest to listen."

Chaos's eye rose in curiosity, "I think it's a bit over the top." his head moved in silent contemplation, "But, as I recall, that is our style." He looked at the sleeping Aya. "I suppose we should grab the desired treasure and get on with this then."
He pulled something from his belt and scanned Aya's body with it. He looked around for any security camera's and remembered he had requested there were not any but knew becuase of his status that there most likely was. He hit one button and scrambled the frequencies of the cameras and fiddled with the device to create a hologram of the sleeping Aya.
With a smile he picked her up. She stirred and mumbled "Five more minutes" But did not wake up. Chaos handed her to Gojaru, went through her wardrobe and found a dark blue robe. Together they wrapper he up in it and Chaos took her back.
"It's a little round about," Chaos admitted, "But I'm sure you see my reasoning." He stood in the doorway, "May want to call the doctor and tell her we "decided to leave Aya" and she should return to the ship immediately."
Hooray for makeshift plans. But, looking like Aya was still here and breaking her out of this prison was far more their style. They didn't particularly want to deal with the staff, so it was in their best interest to avoid them.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Thank you Miss Nekish, I appreciate this." Yuki smiled sincerely, "Aya is very lucky to have a friend like you on her side."

"Good, we'll probably spare Yuki a headache like this." No doubt the staff would be stubborn about letting Aya go, that much was easy to predict.
Gojaru called up Yuki to give her the news.
xoxox xox xoxox
Catzuki gave yuki a look as if she grew a second head. The neko examined her surroundings as if she was walking right into a trap and remained on her guard. "What do you mean?"

"Sounds fair." And Chaos disappeared in the opposite direction as Gojaru. And he had taken for granted how easy it was to sneak out of places alone, because he was sure someone might see him.
He snuck out easily despite his apprehension and boarded Star. He took Aya to his room immediately and made her comfortable. She probably wouldn't wake up for a few hours.
---- Yuki returned the odd look Catzuki was giving her. "I mean, that," she paused, "Well, it's been a long time since you've seen her, I gathered that much, I just mean that its a very wonderful thing you are still so willing to help her despite all the time you two couldn't talk or see each other. Honestly, I think Aya needs someone more like her around, a neko, I mean." She crossed her arms, "And it's almost unbelievable that you should know Aya and that we should come here. When people lose contact with friends, maybe its just elves, but usually when friends lose contact for a long time their friendship just isn't the same. But, you, Miss Nekish are still great friends with Aya, and she's lucky. And that's-" she paused hearing her communicator give a slight ring. "I'm sorry."
She held it up, "Yuki here."

"I didn't stop talking to her," Catzuki felt the need to clarify. "The only reason I didn't keep searching for her is because I was certain she died, she must have thought the same of me... But if not for that I wouldn't have stopped searching."
It was a narrow escape and they were separated. The ship was about to blow, they had no time to find each other. Escaping and meeting up later was the only way to survive. The communication was cut just after agreeing where to meet. But the wreckage of the small ship Catzuki was sure Aya used to escape was enough for her to think her friend had died. She'd mentally kicked herself a thousand times over because she didn't check the body, she only saw a motionless body with an obviously mortal wound. She didn't see who it was, she simply couldn't look at it any more thinking that was Aya. Thinking back on it, it might not have even been a neko; but whoever the unfortunate one was, she had taken Aya's ship.
Theories came and went too late. Aya must have arrived too late to stop that person from taking the ship, her communication device must have been damaged or out or energy. She might have had transportation problems. Catzuki waited at the meeting place but she was sure Aya wouldn't be there, she had died after all; so Catzuki left, she went off far away thinking there was no reason to stay there, and Aya never found her, and they spent all that time apart.
Then they found each other again, and Catsuki regretted leaving, she regretted losing hope. If only she had stayed then maybe Aya would be better. There was not much she have done back then for Aya's health, she didn't even know Hakimo at the time and thus didn't have access to places like Cure Valley. But still she couldn't help it but to wonder of what could have been... I would have at least kept that unworthy man away from her. She still had not forgiven Chaos, Aya's husband should treat her like a queen and Catzuki would accept nothing less for her dear friend.
"Yuki-chan! It's Gojaru, I talked to Chaos. We'releaving Aya here and leaving, right now, before anyone notices Aya sleeping in her room. We're boarding the Starlight Falcon right away, I don't think Chaos is up for another Saturn."

YUki listened to Catzuki and smiled, "I imagine you're not one to just give up on your friends. You're too stubborn for that." Yuki pointed out, "I said "lose contact" not necessarily that you stopped talking." She listened to the message and her heart sank.
"I see." She grimaced, it must have been for the best. She half recalled Saturn, she had been the one who had to bandage everyone up and it had been troublesome to have an arrogant bleeding Chaos and an injured flirty Gojaru on her hands. She smiled and looked at Catzuki. Then replied to Gojaru. "Thanks captain, I'll be there in a minute."
"Miss Nekish, that was the captain. He said they have everything all settled and we're to go back to the ship." She looked back at Catzuki after taking a few steps, "They think its best to avoid another Saturn and I agree. So, we need to hurry."

"All the more reason for you to give her the best treatment. Care for her life as if it were your own," Catzuki's words could be taken multiple ways, one of them being something along the lines of if Aya doesn't get well I'll hunt down the entire crew.
"Does this mean Aya is...?" She didn't finish her question and instead gave Yuki an even stranger look. "What do you mean Saturn? We're not even close to it."

"I will, I promise." Yuki responded, she kept walking as she spoke. She took it in a concerned manner and did not hear the Neko's masked threat. "Best not to ask about Aya, the guys got what they could done. And we should trust them." She stopped at the door and gave Catzuki a curious look. "It's best to explain Saturn in one sitting, so, if you want to hear the story we can ask Star to give you a recap, but right now we just don't have time."
Yuki's pace quickened,"I can promise though, Miss Nekish that despite the crew's past, we're pretty honest."

"Fine," Catzuki followed Yuki back to the Starlight Falcon. Aya better be there or else she expected whatever had made the crew want to leave so suddently be dropped to return for her, regardless of what anyone may say. Aya better be the reason they were leaving.
"That will be proven in time, my trust is not easy to obtain," there only seemed to be two people who had earned it. Aya, a neko like Catzuki who lived the things she also had to live, and Hakimo the kind elf whom Catzuki always told he needed to grow some guts, but his strangely apologetic ways made him adorable anyway. She in turn trusted those whom the two deemed worthy of trust, such as Hakimo's father. However, Chaos was an exception, Catzuki didn't start well with him and as far as she knew he stole her best friend and that made him a terrible man. She would put up with him for Aya's sake, but she could not deny that a divorce would make her jump with joy, even if it seemed unlikely to happen.
xoxox xox xoxox
Gojaru waited for the crew to finish boarding the Starlight Falcon. "Ready for a quick escape?"
"You like Saturn, love?" The ship asked.
"Not quite babe, if we make it out quickly it shouldn't turn into Saturn," Gojaru wondered how long it would take the hospital crew to notice the sleeping Aya in the room was a hologram. Maybe until they started to wonder why she had not woken up.

Yuki smiled, "I'm glad then. It would be too easy if you believed everything blindly." She stepped on the platform that took them to the ship and took a deep breath. This was her home and she loved it. "We're back, Star-chan!" Yuki announced, "Are we the last?"
Chaos appeared on one of the screen to contact Gojaru. "Ready when you are, Cap'n."
He looked back at Aya and gave a smile. At least now he could keep a better eye on her. Had it not been for being caught that one time he'd have never left her side.

"Welcome back! Everyone is in and we're ready for take off!" The Starlight Falcon's voice was broadcasted all over the ship.
The ship spoke again, this time only in the control room. "Gojaru-love, we're ready to go now."
"Good, then take off and get us far away fast. Set a course to Cure Valley, I'm going to meet up with everyone," Gojaru left the control room. He knew Miss Demon Cat would be searching for her friend right away.
xoxox xox xoxox
"Where's Aya?" Catzuki asked to no one and everyone, could have been Yuki, could have been the ship, or she couldn't have been saying 'if you don't know, find her, now.'

Yuki looked up from something, "Probably asleep in her room. You can access Star and have her show you the way." She would have liked to help but she would have a lot of things to prepare for the upcoming journey. "Star-chan, can you get Miss Nekish directions to Aya?"

"If it's alright with you Yuki," the Starlight Falcon showed a path of little lights along a seemingly decorative silvery line on the ship's wall, that could actually be used for directions or intensified to provide light should the light in the ceiling stop working for whatever reason.
For a second Catzuki looked as if she was plotting something, but not necessarily something that would be done right away, yet she was plotting none the less. She rushed off soon after that small pause, following the lights.
Gojaru had left the ship on auto pilot, with a course set to Cure Valley. He arrived just as Catzuki left. "Everything okay, Yuki-chan?"

Yuki clipped something to her belt, looked up to wish Miss Nekish good luck only to see Gojaru. "I would think so." She gave a smile, "At least for you and I. I'd imagine Aya is sleeping in Chaos's room and Miss Nekish just headed there."
Chaos shifted things int he room around. He looked at it, decided he hated it and rearranged things again. Why was he making such a fuss? Because of Aya. He knew if he didn't she would. And it was really best just to avoid that.
Aya stirred in her sleep and mumbled something about fish. It caused him to smile. His door was left open in case of emergency, emergency being he had to rush Aya to the sick bay for whatever reason.
He looked at her for a moment. "Will you scold me for the way this room looks?"
Without waking she replied, "Only if its a mess..."
He looked at the room, it wasn't messy so to say as much as it was unorganized. He gave a shrug and nodded, knowing that no matter what Aya would notice even the slightest thing out of place.

Catsuki got Cotton on the way and rushed to Aya's room. She found the door open and saw Chaos. She hissed, though not loud enough to wake Aya. "You..." Clearly she still didn't approve at him. She glanced around the room, she might not be the most organized person, but she knew Aya was, and the room was rather unorganized. "How could you expect Aya to sleep well in the middle of this mess?" She half hissed, half whispered with a look that says Chaos was starting to look more like a scratching post than a person. Cotton sat quietly on Catzuki's head looking around curiously.

Silvia flew towards Gojau and perched herself on his shoulder. "I hope he's ready..."

"This is a makeshift plan." Chaos replied, "I hadn't been expecting her to be here so soon." He looked at Aya, then to Catzuki. "You're right though." He didn't like to admit that Catzuki was right but for sanity's sake he may as well get used to her always being around. The least he could do was make it a little more bearable. He went back to his cleaning and rearranged what he could. But truth be told he didn't get much more organized than this.
------ Yuki petted Silvia with a smile. "Well, he'll have to be. Or he'll get used to it real quick. I think Aya being here is great."
She started to walk down the hallways. "For one, Chaos will be easier to deal with. He'll work harder and more efficiently without wasting his energy. He'll actually take breaks when he needs to and you won't have to scold him after I've told him a million times he should be resting. And," she paused, "Now Miss Nekish has someone to occupy her time."
