"Ria is a really nice place once you find everything...I continuously got lost for the first few days, but now I'm doing just fine,"

Botan nodded gentley, he agreed with what Cadence had said to him. She seemed to be a motivational kind of person and that made him feel better about Ria.

"Oh! I don't even know your name!"

Botan blinked as she began to react like it was some great tragedy and watched her go until he found the hyper neko staring straight into his eyes. He once again felt as if she was watching his very essance. It was only then that he realized that she seemed to be mystified by his eyes as well and quickly broke her concentration.

"You have nice eyes." she replied

"Oh....we-well thank you...My name's Botan by the way...." he replied.

This feeling had now grown again into something he recognized. He was now slightly afraid and his eyes gave that away. It looked as if his secret was going to be revealed now to this girl and he didn't want her to know...not now!

[ Hey spazz! Sorry for the extremely long delay!]

"You will not touch her Uskaib!" Biaksu lunged at Uskaib and exerted more energy than his body could handle. He slashed Uskaib diagonally across the chest and sent him flying. "YOU b*****d! You'll kill yourself! This is your body after all!" Biaksu continued to attack him without any regret in his eyes. "I don't care, I wont let you harm any one!"

The two battled fiercely and their auras began to show brightly. Biaksu chanted words as he fought Uskaib and thrusted him against the wall. "This is where I become me again!" He made a series of hand symbols and then a blue flame appeared in front of him. "You wouldn't dare use the seal!" The flame moved next to Uskaib as chains lifted and placed him against the wall.

"Fi-re-ma-to-na..." The chains lit with the blue flame and Uskaib screamed with pain. "SURIKE!" The blue flame spread out in front of Uskaib's heart and appeared as a portal almost. Biaksu lunged at Uskaib with his sword pointing at his heart. "YOU FOOL!" He pierced the body and vanished inside, leaving everything silent. He was motionless against the wall and his body changed back to normal, but the cocoon remained.

 

[Uchiha_Keryou]

Keryou sat under the shade of the huge tree that was by the fountain. she was reading a book that she had just gotten from the library, it was entitled 'The Dark Art of Alchemy'. she fliped the page and read a section on fire. Fire was one of her favorets. she put the book down and put her hands together. she didn't need a transmutation circle just for the fact that she had two of them engraved in each palm. She then took her hands apart and snapped her fingers. a small spark lit the tops of all of her fingers. she swirled her hands and made the flame dance in the air. " I'm getting better at this" she said under her breath.

[Ah, you posted! -heartexplodeswithjoy- xD]

Yuki took a step back as Biaksu struck Uskaib before her ice could, knocking him out of the way. She gritted her teeth as she waved her hand, and the spears disappeared so they wouldn't needlessly waist her energy. Her still narrowed eyes followed the two as they continued fighting, she still clutching the frozen dagger in her hand. Her grip tightened warily upon it as she saw their auras shining, rather brightly, but she refused to look away.

She blinked as Uskaib shouted something about a seal as Biaksu chanted and a blue fire appeared. She took a step closer, unsure what was going on. Hadn't he just been attacking her? But now he was being held to the wall by some chains... She blinked again in confusion. Where had those even come from?

Yuki winced as she heard Uskaib scream and her eyes widened as Biaksu lunged forward, plunging the sword through his own body's heart. "W-wait!" she stammered, but he was already through and suddenly there was only one of them.

She glanced around anxiously, still clutching the dagger in her hand as she catiously crept closer. Had he really just done that to his own body? What did that mean would happen to him? Yuki continued moving foward, pausing in front of him. "B-Biaksu...?" she asked uncertainly, reaching a hand slowly towards him, dagger still held tightly in the other.  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu slowly lifted his head as he hung from the wall of the cocoon. He stared around and tears filled his eyes. "Did I... do all this?" A flashback came to his mind of the battle and he looked down, "Oh yeah... i did do all of this..." He looked up and saw Yuki staring at him still holding that dagger. "Yuki... don't touch me... If you do i'll be released... and i'm a monster... i'll just wait here until my death."

An aura surrounded his body and the cocoon vanished except the ice that the chains were holding onto. He kept his head down to avoid Yuki's eyes. "Just go... leave me be... I'm not fit to be walking this place... so long as Dahv does not forgive me..." He bled from the gash cut across diagonally on his chest and gritted his teeth from the pain.

Biaksu thought why had he come here when he had no pupose. Why had he not left when he knew dahv would never forgive him? Why did he not leave to protect Yuki from himself? Why was he not dead? "I will never be able to tame this beast inside... so please... spare yourself the blood and distance yourself from me..."

 

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Yuki stared at Biaksu, pausing her hand's movement as he warned her not to touch him. She bit her lip nervously, glancing around as the cocoon disappeared and then turned back to face him. "B-but..." she began slowly. "You're not going to die. You can't." Her hand clenched suddenly as he mentioned Dahv and she growled in her throat. "What are you talking about? Life isn't worth living simply because of a single person's view of you? If that's the case, then why don't you stay alive to make him change his mind?"

She paused at his next words and quickly shook her head. "No," she said bluntly. "No, I'm not going to leave." She frowned, bending down slightly to try looking into his eyes. "I have a demon side as welll," she said suddenly. "But I've come to terms with her. She came out partially during the fight and she's here right now, helping to hold my voice steady. She's here when I need her to be. But still, even I lose control sometimes, but that's no reason to just give up." Yuki bit her lip nervously, but didn't look away from Biaksu. "I can try to help you control it, ok? You can't just give up like this..."

He was one of her first real friends here. Sure, she'd met Hikaru, Terry and the others, but they were younger. Biaksu was right around her age, so she felt a bit more comfortable with him. That other girl she'd met had seriously freaked her out, and that guy who'd randomly come and sat down across from her made her nervous as well, though she was slowly growing used to him... But still, Biaksu was the first and he was special. A sudden thought came to her head and she frowned at him. "You promised to teach me to work with my ice powers," she recalled aloud, hoping that would be another reason for him to not give up.  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu let a tear fall from his eyes as he listened to her words. He shook his head at some of her words and then looked her straight in the eyes. "I am a monster Yuki! I have power i shouldn't! If i lost control i could destroy a lot of people... just like how i killed my sister long ago... So what else is there for me? Everyone runs from me... no one cares about me Yuki, not even my own family..."

Biaksu made the ice behind him disappear but the chains remained leaving him motionless. His aura rose to an intense level and his wound began to heal. His hair flailed in the energy and his eyes changed to a deep purple. "Please, don't help me... i don't want to hurt you... even though i barely know you... you are like a best friend to me... and i never want to hurt you Yuki!"

Biaksu dropped his head and smiled as his promise then echoed through his head. He smiled and cried a little. "I did promise didn't i? I guess i have to keep it... but i want you to think about what you are doing. Since only you can release me i want you to think about what i'm capable of, before you touch me." He closed his eyes and waited for disappointment of being left there alone.

 

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Yuki watched him quietly, listening calmly to his words. She blinked as he mentioned killing his sister, but she couldn't say anything about it. She'd accidentally attacked her father plenty of times. She sighed, bowing her head as he claimed no one cared about him, but for now kept silent.

She glanced up as the ice vanished and his wound began to heal, his hair flying and eyes changing color. Then she listened as he recalled the promise as well, smiling very softly as she saw him begin to cry. "I have thought about it," she finally said, her voice soft and gentle. "You say no one cares about you, but I do."

She slowly reached out her hand, not even hesitating as she stretched her arm upwards and wiped away some of the tears. "So don't cry, ok?" she continued faintly, still smiling at him, though her face was turning red again. Her hand hand had put away the dagger and gripped his lightly. "Everything's fine."  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu smiled as she wiped away his tears. The chains vanished and he had full control of his body. He shook his arms a little then fell back from the pain in his chest. He stood up and drew out the legendary Ice sword he had created during the battle. "It's amazing... the only thing that can create this sword is love... and yet i created it somehow... maybe the sword is telling me something..."

He recalled the battled and remembered the whole reason that they were still alive; he fought to protect Yuki, and he discarded his own well being for her sake. He began to feel something he had never felt before and he put it in the back of his mind. "Thank you so much Yuki... if it wasn't for you i'd probably be dead." His emotions were going haywire and he almost had no control at all. GO FOR IT BIAKSU! THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE! He closed his eyes and kissed Yuki's lips with all the love in his body.

 

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Yuki blinked as the chains vanished, stepping back slightly as he shook his arms. She jumped in alarm as he fell back and leaned towards him. "A-are you ok?" she said quietly, pausing as she watched him pick up the sword. She blinked at his words, feeling her face flushing red again as she took them in.

"Telling you something?" she asked, somewhat nervously. She glanced around and then back to him, her head tilted slightly to one side. She laughed quietly at the thanks and shook her head slightly. "There's no need to thank me," she said softly. "I mean, you're the one who protected me during all that and-" Her voice cut off suddenly as he kissed her, her eyes opening wide. But after a second her mind realized what had happened and she slowly closed her eyes again, feeling her faze blaze red. But still, she surprised herself by not even wanting to pull away.  

[Ethan Barrows]

Biaksu broke the kiss and smiled at her. "Thank you so much... for all you've done for me." He stood up and sheathed his sword. He turned around and stared at the forest, his face was burning a bright red. He had never blushed so much in his life. Whatever it was that he was feeling it felt good and it was giving him endless energy. "So this is love..." he muttered under his breath.

Biaksu turned back to Yuki and offered his hand to help her up. He smiled and looked into her eyes, they were like beautiful pale sapphires. "If you want some training, i'll help you the best i can... I promise you Yuki." He smiled brightly showing he was a friend. His sword created light refraction behind him which gave him the 'holy' appearance. "Let's go."

Yuri stood up having bored himself with the fight between Yuki and Biaksu, he had stopped paying atention and fallen asleep. He now felt that if he had only paid more attention to it that he might understand the outcome, but he only brushed the flame away that he had watched through and walked over to his still burning tree. He climbed up in it and sat down under it once more. His fox tail now sprouted out behind him, at least this time it was not at a bad times as it has done so many times before...seeing as the final end to it all had a little bit of a romantic twist he shrugged it off and jumped up in his tree searching through his stuff hat he'd set there for something he'd brought. A piece of parchement fell out of his bag as he had searched, he did not notice and so it floated off into another tree, the wind keeping it steady there. It was an empty parcment, nothying written on it. It had been hidden with ink that appeared when heated and so now that it was gone into the ground that was covered in snow for however long it would take quite a while for it to show up. What Yuri did not know was that though the parchment had not landed on the ground, if it were to get cold enough then it would show a different ink...something he had not written and for now he parchment was out of his hands. He finally found what he had been searching for, and though his tree was covered in flame the other parchments in the same bag were still well hidden with the same ink. He slid down onto a branch close to the ground and not hidden by leaves and began toinscribe something on a marble he'd grabbed from in the bag.  

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Yuki smiled back at Biaksu, almost in a daze, as he pulled away. "It was... nothing..." she said breathlessly as she stared at the floor, trying to recover herself. Her face was still crimson and she rubbed at it lightly in a poor attempt to return it to the normal pale.

She slowly looked up at him as he turned back to face her, and took the hand he offered. She blinked once as she stared into her eyes, but managed to keep from looking away, something she rarely accomplished. "I-I do... want some training," she said quietly, face still red. "So... thank you, very much." She smiled back and nodded, ready to follow him.  

[4_yo_info]

Yuri inscribed in the marble the symbol for death and then grabbed another one inscribing in it his own symbol for death. Both of these marbles together would harness one thing he had not been able to mess with for the entire time he and the Reaper were one in the same and if he were able to do this then he might be able to finish something started long ago. He slipped out of the tree after closing the bag and headed toward the school...though instead of going inside he stoppped sitting on the ground half way there, making the two marbles float almost, though if seen close up than it would be notable that they were projected by some shadowy substance. the shadowy substance filled the marbles and they changed into the same substance, the sybols fading away as they did and Yuri smiled slightly as they continued changing. Both were now instead of a clear green changed into a jet black and the one with the original symbol of Death on it began to grow in volume, the oter only growing in mass. He would not allow either of the orbs to get out of his control...though if he sat there close to them for too long then both of them would begin to stop listening.
