Courtyard (North)

[bakalifeform]

"Snow... Don't call me Zypher or Zyph... Please, just forget I said that..." Surion said. It pained him to think about it."It was a mistake to tell you my brothers name... I should have known not to tell you that... It makes me...Emotional..."He added."Sure you can talk to me... I will asnwer any questions you have rightfully..." "Kiko shouldn't have kept it a secret from you..." He said so lightly not even Snow's ears could hear.

Brother... Come back...Please...  

[Snow Lea Makatu]

Snow nodded. "Alright... I'm... sorry." She said, not understanding. "Is there... something you want to tell me? I'm slightly confused... It seemed like Kiko knew that boy... and truthfully... I felt like I should have too..." She said gently. Snow looked down at the grass ground that lay a several feet beneath her. She then glanced over at saw Kiko, sitting at the base of a tree, running a hand through his hair. Everyone seemed to be so emotional... the only emotion she felt at the moment was confusion. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she looked at Surion, waiting for an answer.  

[bakalifeform]

"...Well, my brother...He taught me everything I know, how to survive, use Chaos, assasssinate...And you- er that guy you just met reminded me of him... I haven't seen him for three years... His name is Zypher. He's...Proabably stronger than Kiko... No offence, but he is very strong..." Surion said. "And yes, you should have known that guy... I... If I tell you can you tell Kiko...Not to hurt me?" Surion said.

Zypher looked around, the peaceful grace lay about the courtyard, the tree's. He dashed to a tree and found a comfortable spot, his brother would be found later, for right now he needed rest.  

[Snow Lea Makatu]

nodded. 'Yes... Sure..." She said, raising an eyebrow. Curiousity aroused in her madly. What was it? Who was he? Why is Kiko so worried? She looked over at Kiko again. He still sat, staring up at the sky absentmindedly. He seemed to be thinking... pondering on something... or maybe... someone?

Kiko sat silently, his mind swimming with thoughts of how to protect Snow from Thorn. He looked down at the ground and thought of Surion. The young boy seemed to run away rather upset.  

[bakalifeform]

"Snow... That guy... Thorn, is your brother... He came to find you... Kiko said he was a bad influence. So they erased your memory of him... Thats all i know..." Surion said, grinning at the trunk of the tree. He wasn't sure how Snow would take this, or worse, how Kiko would if he found out that Surion had told Snow. The thought almost made Surion shiver, but he looked at Snow, awaiting her answer to the information he had givin.  

[Snow Lea Makatu]

Snow stared at him, expecting him to start laughing and say that he was joking. When he didn't Snow gasped. "Wh-What? He can't be... I've grown up my whole life as an only child..." She then remembered the memory erasing part. "Oh..." She murmured. "But..." She sighed and looked at Kiko, in an angry manor. Why hadnt he told her? She trusted him! With her life... "What happened to your brother?" She asked him softly. "What was he like?" She hoped that he would tell her but she would understand if he didnt.

@Spazz/Karin: Suka blinked once as she fianally let go of him, watching quietly as she wiped at her tears which he had been unable to see stop at all. He listened for an answer, and his eyes lit up for a moment as she began to speak, but that left as she drifted off. There were many hings that could hae come from her mouth at that moment, and yet even though they didn't he knew none of them were acceptable for one reason or another. If she decided that she did not want him to train her anymore then he could not very well make her unafraid of him the easy way. He would still train her, but in the way that he trained Yuri when they were younger. She would probably not surpass him in physical strength since he had been trying to compete with Yuri for so long and thus over the years had become one of the strongest in the living realm...though with her powers under control she could very easily defeat him in a fight using those. The complication of things that would come from her not letting him train her would be less then the reward she would receive from it, so he could not put himself first and listen to her if that happened. He decided this mostly on the intent to keep her strong, if she decided him an enemy then so be it...that would be better for humanity anyway, because, though he may not act it all of the time, Suka is a strong, malicious foe who when it comes down to it is normally caught fighting on the side opposing the light. Obviously one who steals from the heavens cannot possibly fight along side them...right? Within moments Suka had decided on doing these things and if she finished her sentence, or chenged it, and the meaning of it was not to his preference...on the other hand he had not decided exactly what to do if the opposite happened...he was preparing for the worst to keep safe I guess you could say. So he stood there in innocence as he waited for her to answer him...an evil being set out to do good for the world can't hope for much lest be disappointed most of the time...

@KrazyKaori/Kana: Yuri looked down at her, watchigas shefell asleep and then sniffing the air again. Even now the cent coming from before had not moved, and that the scent was coming from a Demon that might be of danger to the girl he'd just 'saved' was not at all pleasing. He sat there as he tried to pinpoint his location by the scent of the surroundings...there was the scent of a fallen tree-though he could not tell whether the fallen tree was picked back up or not so he ignored that scent as the scent of water followed. Near the water was a still evident scent of a female being...right next to the other scent. Hecocnluded that the scent was coming from the fountain and decided to leave that alone as the fountain was nowhere near here for the moment...he could tell this by the strength of Kenzi's scent and the heat of the burning tree. He dismissed these thoguhts though as he watched her sleep, glad that she was resting since his flames would make her sleep well and keep any bad dreams from occuring within, the only type of bad dream that would be able to make it through his flames being an extremely high powered Nightmare...and usually they do not waste their time on such things as dreams sicne they have much more important things to do. He looked at her as she slept, so quiet and calm...he could even hear how she breathed and was happy that what he had done had worked. The methods he used to heal were those found to be used mostly by female demons with the ability to heal...He found a book of his Mother's in one of his Father's hidden storage boxes that were deep underground, and from this he learned that his mother was able to heal. The method she used was called "Intimate Aid", obviously this must have been the reason that Shadow had killed her first. In memory of his mother, Yuri vowed to use this method if ever he were able to heal anyone-mostly in doubt that it would ever happen. OVer the years Yuri gained many different healing abilities and altered his Black Flame to consist of healing energies aswell. Of the man healing abilities he now has, the few he used with her were his Green (Gluttony) Lightning, his matter fusion, his weak telekinesis, a bit of pure healing energy inheritted from his mother, and of course his Black Flame. Hopefully he would not e using any of that anytime soon, but he coudl not possibly be sure about that until anytime soon was over. These were the thoughts that ran through his head, these thoughts of his past and his new responsibility toward Kana, as he sat there beside her as she slept.

Karin shifted slightly in place, weight on one foot and then the other. She did this several times before sighing and wiping at her tear stained face again. She closed her eyes for a moment, still thinking to herself. She really didn't know what to do. She'd never been in a situation like this before. She'd thought... she'd thought that she could trust him, and had finally allowed herself to do so, but now she wasn't sure at all anymore. She'd already been attacked by him once, but she'd let that go because he supposedly wasn't in control of himself. But now, he'd attacked her as well as Kana, someone who didn't deserve anything like that, ever. Her hands clenched for a second, and then relaxed again by her sides. Her tail was curled around her right leg, the tip flicking slowly side to side, and her ears were somewhere between perked, flattened, and drooping. She let out a sigh, very faint, and then looked up at Suka once more. "Anytime is... is fine..." she said slowly, voice full of uncertainty. She looked back towards the ground, biting her lip. She thought the main reason she agreed was probably because she actually was very curious about the nightmare form she was supposedly now able to transform into. That, and she was terrified that if she transformed without meaning to, she'd end up attacking someone as well. She really didn't know how it worked.

@RP With Ananda: Kenzi now finally was waking from the small nap he had taken...it had been three days as he had said, so as he looked to where she had sat and folllowed her scent to a tree he noticed and was not surprised that she was no longer at that tree and thus had gained the strength to leave. He had heard her "thank you" before she left, but he did not see it of any importance at the moment since it was three days old. What she had thakned him for exactly he was unsure, but that did not stop him now from ignoring it. He stood up and stretched his arms, cracking his back and then throwing his eyes open as he sniffed the air. He shot up erect and sniffed again, Yuri and Suka were here...and they both were with a female...they were not far either. He was going to go over to them just as he remembered the last words he had spoen before receiving thanks from her...he'd said he would come find her if she decided to leave...if that hadbeen what she thanked him for then that would normally give him more reason not to do it-but for once this was not the way that he thought about this and he sighed for a moment...Afterall he had been the one to wake her up, not the other way around. With her he had interest, so instead of ignoring everything that had happened the other day he stuffed his hands in his pocket and decided to keep his word. He sniffed the air and then began walking off in the direction of her scent, walking in the exact path that she had taken...off to find she who might end up his only companion in this entire place...

Dirge walked into the courtyard with Pander slung over his back. Jangen came up behind, sliding Pander off Dirge's high back. The demon wolf was eighteen feet tall so Jangen had to use the booster pack that had been installed into the Heavy Cav body his spirit inhabited. Jangen carried him over to a small tree, leaning the young immortal againsts the trunk. Dirge and Jangen sat down close by. Blood still poured from Pander's mouth yet it had stopped flowing from his ears and nose. This was all well and good, but he was still unconsious.

Grandfather... Why did your deal include our family not being able to be healed?

When I took this wolfish form for you to all become immortals, I figured healing wouldn't be nessesary but I had your bodies natural healing increased ten fold. Pander is lucky. Genetics gave his natural healing a one hundred fold increase.

I see. So you figured we wouldn't be in situations like this.

Dirge nodded his large wolfish head. Jangen had resigned from calling Dirge grandfather for the longest time. It seemed like, now that they were one on one, it would be appropriate. Jangen laid back, his metal body clunking against the ground as joints extended with small squeaks.  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kana remained flat on her back, face turned away from Yuri with her cheek resting in the grass. Both her ears were still flattened back and her tail was flicking gently against her side. One hand rested on her stomach, and the other in the grass beside her face, arm bent at the elbow. Her breath had returned to normal, though she was still breathing just a bit heavily. She was fine though, just still a bit tired. Despite this, her face scrunched into a frown after only a few minutes and she began squirming slightly before her eyes slowly inched their way open again. She blinked several times, as she always did when she first woke up, and then rubbed her eyes gently a few times. She moved her hands down to her chest, both clutching the silver locket she wore as she stared almost blankly straight ahead towards the sky. After a couple seconds she slowly turned her head to face Yuri again, blinking a bit more before smiling. "Good morning," she said softly, though she could tell not a lot of time had passed. She was still pretty tired, but it was probably the thought that she was sleeping out in the open that woke her up again. She honestly trusted that Yuri would watch out for her, but some small part of her mind didn't allow her to truely relax. She remained laying flat on her back though, still a bit nervous about trying to move too much.

Suka nodded as he heard her finish her sentence and smiled lightly when she did. "Then we will do just that as soon as you decide that it is not too soon..." He said this with a final nod and then shoved his hands into his pockets, feeling that both of his daggers were now there. He felt very uneasy about what had just happened, though he did not how it right now and would not succumb to such regret as Yuri usually did with stuff such as this. He kicked the ground and looked up at the sky for a moment...was there an end to the sky? When someone says the sky is the limit...do they mean that there is nothing that cannot be done or that the something that cannot be done will not be so easy to come by. Someone once told him this but he cannot remember so far back as to have the name in hi memory of whomever it was. These words did not make much sense, but of the sense that they did make h could not find anything that could relate to this...beneath the ground was the limit on this situation and he wished now that he had never heard the words "the sky is the limit"...if that were true then there would be no limitations at all and if there were Karin would not have reached hers yet-as it now seemed she had. He stood there silently a moment...not noticing that he was staring at the ground and he was not even waiting for a reply from her...he looked up at her and asked her another question instead of thinking about regret. "What do we do now Karin, love?" Subconciously...he'd added the last part on purpose...  

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Karin nodded her head slowly, eyes still upon the ground and still biting lightly on her bottom lip. Her eyes darted towards him as he reached into his pockets, but she didn't otherwise move and just stood rooted in place. Though, when he kicked at the ground, her body gave a small jolt of alarm. She tried to stop it, so it wasn't too noticable. She frowned at herself and looked back at the ground. She'd thought she'd calmed down at least a little bit, but it seemed she was still very jumpy. She cursed herself mentally as she shifted in place again, tail unwinding from her leg and flicking behind her.

She slowly placed her hands back in her sweatshirt's pockets, the right one grabbing hold of the X that was still inside. She squeezed it tightly but stayed stll and silent. She couldn't think of a response to his first words, so she hadn't said a reply. Her ears twitched at his next question and she blinked, her eyes widening very slightly as she peeked back up at him. For a moment she was silent, but then she shrugged slowly, looking back down, and then up at him again. "I don't... know..." she said quietly.

She stole a quick glance towards Kana, seeing the girl was lying on her back. She otherwise looked fine and, besides the blood already on Kana's clothing, Karin saw no more. She pressed one of her hands lightly against her stomach, feeling the bruise there from the orb Suka had hit her with a moment ago, but she didn't give any sign of it being there. It seemed to her that they might as well go start to train or something. She knew she'd told Kana she'd go with her to visit her mother, but the thought that Suka really might trail behind them had her even more paranoid now than when he'd first said he would do so.

Yuri smiled when she said this and decided she was able enough for him to think of her in a normal matter instead of as a 'patient'...thus he realized the sins of real people and the things that real people think. Distrust filled his mind, though he did not show it as he never had ever since Shadow and the murder of his Mother and Aunt. He replied to her, "G'Mornin...did you sleep well at all?", and did not show through that he was measuring her every move now to make sure that she really was the person he'd assumed her to be in this first meeting. He had no reason to be suspicious of her, but it was in his nature not to be illuded into a trap, especially not one set by someone posing as an innocent little girl...never had he and never would he be caught mistaken about the trustworthiness of someone who acted like her. Now she was still his most concern for reasons different then to help her, he was sure it would not last long but there would not be much time needed anyway. He could tell already though that she was feeling the same way about him...with good reason though. Yuri really had no reason to be suspicious...With her next answer surely he would quit though. Inability to trust someone was something he'd a habit of having, even after a first impression such as hers.
