They arrived in the confrence room.
"I hope all of you know how dangerous this was," Lotus was standing in her bucket scowling.
"We know," Sana stated.
"Shut up luceat," Lotus's ears were turning blue with anger.
"Sorry," Sana looked at her feet, her face turning red.
"You'd better be," Lotus turned to face Aku, "you, I understand that you were the mastermind of all this," to this, Aku nodded solemnly, " Pack your things, you're leaving,"
"What?????,"The Four Elementals spoke at once. Aku remained silent.
Lotus ignored the shouting teens. "You put everything in jepordy. Everything we've worked for. Do you realise what could've happened. SIX PEOPLE WERE KILLED. SIX PEOPLE! We used to seem like a minor threat, now they know about us, they know exactly what we're capable of,"
"You can't do this," Ssssam spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Well I just did it, so suck it up snake face,"Lotus's face was flushed blue now.
"If Aku leaves, so do I," Ssssam stated.
"Good riddance,"Lotus had a dark look in her eyes.
Ssssam hissed and slithered out angrily, followed by Aku.
"I cant believe this," Ssssam shouted angrily.
"What do we do?" Aku muttered
"We leave, its the only thing we can do right now,"Ssssam sighed.
"I can't go home," Aku said shoving clothes into a bag.
"You can live with me for as long as you need,"
"Thanks Ssssam,"
"No bother, we'll leave on our pegasi,"
They ran to the stables. Shadow and Light were waiting patiently.
They flew to Ssssam's house and settled in for the night after letting the pegasi graze in the field.
But when Ssssam woke up, Aku wasn't there...
