Tou left the back of the giant seat turtle in a small boat with a motor that he had to steer by hand. When Susan had come down and said that she was going to go pick the other group up he jumped at the chance to help and relieved her of this task. He hoped that his willingness to do this for her wouldn't give away his true motives for wanting this time alone with the small band of heroes.
He stopped the boat just below the group and created a large shadow platform next to it so that they could safely land their familiar before boarding the boat. Once that was completed he started to simply wave one arm hoping to get their attention.

Zack jumped off the familiar holding Jouten, and they landed on the boat. Aaron, Fenir, and Carmack soon followed.
Jouten was the first to speak up , "Uh, hey guys. What's up?" he asked while trying to regain his own footing from Zack.

Tou cleared his throat starting the motor back up and turning it back to the turtle this time going much slower then his trip to pick them up. "Not to cut short the victory party but I need to inform you of something and after this boat ride I fear it will not be safe for us to speak of this matter again ... I have reason to believe that the British Library has been taken over by Nobun who seems to have less then noble intentions to us all. He seems to be controlling Susan some how though I haven't seen if she is merely following orders or actually on his side"

Jouten coughed then shouted , "What the hell do you mean!? I thought he was on our side!?"
He didn't know if he was ready to hear bad news just yet. It seemed like no matter what he did, something else would happen to make his previous actions pointless. He had fought hard for the last several months, and now there was already another conflict. He just stared at Tou with a gloomy expression.

"He might be still I just don't know if we can fully trust us. He is going to have you moved to Hong Kong back to the paper sister and wants to keep eyes on you. For being some boy that Susan showed up with he seems more then we know" Tou explained his hand tightening around the steering mechanism. "I just want to make sure you keep an eye out for this boy and don't let your guard down around him."

Jouten nodded and looked down , "If it turns out he is a traitor, what will you do?" he asked solemnly.

Tou looked at the young man and felt sorry for him. "If he does turn out to be a traitor I will try and take him out before he can do anything drastic I just need to know if I can count on you if I should fail. While he doesn't look like much I have glimpsed some of his power during the fight and its plain to see he is holding something back. If you could would you try to get some information out of Susan if you have any time alone with her? I know that she is very fond of you like she was Rumor and I think that if this boy is some kind of traitor he may be using Rumor's recent death as a way to weasel his way into her good graces."

Jouten nodded. If everything that was just said here was true, then he would need to make sure Nobun couldn't gain power. He honestly didn't know how he should act, or if he could even do anything. His body was in shambles. No magic or medicine could fix it, not this time. When you fight over five life and death battles in a row within one day, you don't expect to walk away from them in a good condition.
"Ok then, well I still need to figure things out. Bring me wherever you want, I still don't know what I want to do for myself yet" he said. He honestly didn't know if he should even still help the British Library. Rumor was gone, and even though he liked some of the members, he never really concerned himself with the constantly evolving power struggles within it.

Tou nodded his head applying more speed to the boat. The fact that Nobun wanted Jouten watched but not taken in by the Library was what worried him the most. It was true the boy was a hero now and people would be coming after him but being watched wasn't what people usually did to their heroes. It was weird but even Tou knew that had he been in charge Jouten would have been taken to the Library medics and fixed up as soon as possible. Being the largest collection of information in the world allowed the Library to know and do things other people figured impossible. "I don't get to decide where it is that you get to go but I will make sure nothing happens to you until you are well"

Aaron raised his head slightly, while sitting and catching his breath. It seemed suspicious to him that the British Library needed to watch Jouten, and so soon after the world was saved from destruction. He turned his attention to Zack, who was looking like a ghost. Losing Rex must have been hard on him, he thought.
"I don't think we should go with him. The British Library probably doesn't want us there." he said, while holding up his now broken glasses. It seemed like they all needed to be fixed.

"I'm not sure if its best to get in Nobun's way or wait till he show's his true colors just yet" Tou said truthfully as they neared the side of the great turtle. "What you guys do is up to you but I know what it is that I will be doing in the days and months to come"

Jouten waved them away ,"It's fine guys. I will be OK by myself. It shouldn't take me too long to recover. I doubt there will be any actual threats for awhile." he said with a light smile turning to face Tou.
Aaron sighed, walking towards his familiar ,"Good luck Jouten. I know there is no point arguing otherwise, but thank you for all you have done. I'm glad that we spent this time together, you have become a greater man than I could ever hope to be. The world will always need a man like you. We are going to return all home to recover our wounds. I doubt this will be the last time we see each other." he said as everyone once again got back on the familiar. Zack, Fenir, and Carmack all waved down to him, while Aaron sat in the front controlling the familiar. While watching them fly off into the distance, he felt a bit sad to see them go. He almost felt like he lost a piece of himself. They were there constantly for him during all those battles, but now that there was nothing left to fight, they were would go their separate ways.
"Well then. I honestly don't know what to do with this new found peace." he said aloud, narrowing his eyes.

Tou smirked at the irony of what Jouten said. "Lets get you to the hospital" he said quietly bending down and easily lifting the younger man up before disappearing in his shadow bringing him to where he knew Susan would be waiting with Tsukiyo ready to asses the Jouten's wounds.
