Courtyard (South)

[The Action Hank]

Sora heard the phrase once more, still having no idea on it. He'd been thinking about what it could of meant, but her tears meant that this phrase had a great deal of importance. Trying to understand, he spoke on his memories. "My old master, once spoke of a feeling that he said he's only felt once. It was a strange fuzzy warmth that he felt when he was with a woman. He called it...love. Is that what being more than a friend is? Is it love?" he asked, wondering if he was correct. The only way you could be more than a friend that he was aware of was to be married, but he doubted she wanted marriage in her life right now.  

[Mistress Rowan]

Rowan blinked a couple times through her tears, and looked at Sora. "You really don't know?" she asked in amazement. "More than friends, it's... a relationship you only have with one person at a time. A boyfriend, or a girlfriend. It doesn't necessarily mean you love the person, just that you really like them and want to see if you could love them. It's the step that goes between friend and husband or wife. That's not really a very good explanation, I'm sorry. I don't really know how to explain this."

Gackt is seen dashing through the south courtyard at full speed, he looks fully aware of everything and his energy levels maximum. He is running towards the front gates yelling. "I'M GONNA MISS THAT DAMN TRUCK!!!"  

[The Action Hank]

Sora nodded. It finally clicked to him. Love wasn't wanting to be with another, it was caring for that person in a personal manner. The idea that this was between being a friend and being married helped to give him a better idea of how she felt. "So, you want someone to be your...boyfriend?" he said, hoping he was right.  

[Mistress Rowan]

Giving a half smile, Rowan ruffled Sora's hair. "It's not so much that I want a boyfriend. I've never had one before, and it would be hard for me. I just feel like nobody would ever like me enough to want that. It's so difficult because I'm so... different." Depression seemed to hit her again suddenly. "Even my parents don't seem to want me around. I remind them that they have a freak for a daughter."

"You look happy to see me!" she said to her friend and gave her a hug back, not noticing the look on her face. She looked back at the boy and nodded. "Yeah, but how would I get one?" Sarah asked, then pointed to Keilantra. "Oh, and this is my friend Denise Keilantra." she added, and then noticed Gackt running arround in the courtyard, he looked alittle busy with something so she didnt bother to say hello, but she wanted to thank him for the arrows he gave her.  

[The Action Hank]

Sora looked down and then back up at her, trying to think of the right thing to tell her. "You've been the most amazing person I've met, and I have yet to meet a person any better than you. And if having a boyfriend would make you happy, I'll do my best to increase my feelings, and maybe I can be one one day for you, and you will be happy." he said, smiling. He lifted her head up with his hand. "And I see nothing to be ashamed of in you. I only see the most beautiful girl at Ria."  

[Mistress Rowan]

Rowan blushed deeply at Sora's compliment and smiled at him. "Thank you, Sora. Just having you care about me makes me happy." She gave him a tight hug and all her sadness seemed to disappear.  

[Awesome Comes Standard]

"Hello!" he said cheerfull at Denise. Then He turned back towards Sarah. "Well it's quite simple." He said, smiling, and a small group of roses grew inbetween them, each one a different color. He grinned at Sarah and said, "Take your pick," and then he turned towards Denise, "You can take one too if you want."  

[The Action Hank]

Sora held her in his arms. She had never hugged him this tightly or long that he had known, so she must of been relieved. Having sent her sorrow away, Sora felt a bit better. He wasn't as worried for Rowan than he was, and remembered something he saw in a movie he saw once. He turned his head and kissed her softly on the cheek.  

[[Roxxan-Tasukimaru]]

Sarah was quite impressed and eyes wide. "Wow, that's a pretty awsome power ya have there!" she said and looked at the roses, each having there own beautiful color. "I'll have this one..." she said picking out a white rose. "Thank you so much!" she said to Kadota gazing at the white rose, sparkles in his eyes. "I love your power." she added, still impressed from what he did.  

[Kai L Nagase]

Gackt is now walksing with a bunch of duffle bags slung over his shoulders and a back pack on his back and a long thin carbon figer case in his hands. He is heading back to his dorm room.  

[Mistress Rowan]

Looking up into Sora's eyes, Rowan smiled as she blushed again. Her smile slowly faded, however, as she realized she didn't know what to do or how she should respond.  

[The Action Hank]

Sora gave a concerned look as Rowans smile disappeared. He once again began to worry for her. "Is something the matter again? Did I do something wrong?" he asked.  

[Mistress Rowan]

"Oh, no Sora. It's really nothing this time." She gave him a half-smile, and looked at the beautiful blossoming Sakura trees.
