Kana walked alongside him happily, a slight bounce in her step as her tail flicked quickly around behind her. She nodded at his first words, but blinked when he told her to forget everything. She looked up at him curiously, a little confused. Why would she have to forget? But then her eyes followed to where he was pointing, and widened in surprise. "W-wow!" she cried suddenly, clapping her hands together. She'd stopped in her initial alarm, but hastened after him once more as she saw he was continuing forward. The whole time her eyes remained upon the tree, looking both shocked and amazed at the same time. How was it that the tree itself was not burning? But then again, she hadn't been burned either when encased in it. She glanced down at herself and then nodded her head. Yep, she had not been burned. She stopped about four feet away from it, swaying very slightly in place as she clasped her hands behind her back, staring openly at the amazing firey tree.

Yuri blinked a few times, and while she was staring at it in awe he grabbbed a bag that was sitting on the branch of the tree and out of it got his hoody. He took of his shirt and put that on instead, he did not want to layer, but did not want to go around without a shirt on either-he'd simply grabbed the first thing he felt. Once it was on though he puled himself up in the tree nd looked down at her. "You want up?" he asked it very politely, as if he were inviting her up into his own home-which this looked hardly like it could be home to someone. It was not the strongest looking tree, a young oak tree never really did look very strong, but by the time Yuri's Black Flame's Die out, the trees will have lived their lives and Yuri's death will have come after they'd reached their final beauty. He did not tell her how the flame did what it did, he probably would not tell very many people that in his life time, but it might become obvious for one reason or another...for when he dies and the flames die out, the trees ill become proof of his death-for their flames feed off of his life energy. There was so much that could be done with the Black Flame, and this was only made possible by how he fed the Flame. It did not feed off of oxygen, as most fire does...which is why you will never see the flame die out-even a small one-without his letting it or his life coming to an end. This was simply a place for him to stay for now...otherwise he probably would not be so quick to trust her with access to it.

Kana's eyes had started wandering around the tree again, but jerked back to him as he spoke. They widened slightly as she stared for a few seconds. "D-die?" she cried, louder than necessary and unable to keep back a stammer. Even if he was still smiling, that didn't mean se was able to. "If it's your life energy... then does it drain you to keep it lit?" She watched him anxiously, wondering if that was the case. Though, if it was, he must be insanely strong. Even though she'd been in a sort of daze while it'd happened, she still had seen his attack on Suka. Come to think of it... was Suka alright? She'd seen him standing though, so she assumed he was. She breathed out slowly, closing her eyes for a second before looking back at Yuri for an answer. Also, now that she knew this tree would apparently burn out when he died, she'd be checking it pretty often, most likely, just to make sure he was ok.

Kana stared at him, blinking a couple times as he answered about the trees. Though when he said they'd never caused him trouble before, she let herself relax slightly. She turned to stare around the tree once more, hand gripping two branches while she sat on a third. Her legs hung down over the edge, swinging lightly back and forth. She allowed herself to smile now as she ran her right hand over one of the branches, seeing the flame but not really feeling it, which was a relief. It wouldn't be very pleasant to sit here feeling like you were on fire. She turned back to Yuri as he held out the papers, and accepted them carefully. Her eyes scanned them as she sat in silence, ears perking as he mentioned what they were. Her eyes widened very slightly now, noting what the papers said, and she bit her lip nervously. She didn't know why he was showing her, but she didn't protest. She didn't really have a reason to. So she continued staring at them before she glanced back up at Yuri, but kept quiet. She didn't know what to say to something like this either.

Kana tilted her head slightly, listening to him speak, but deciding to move on as well once he changed the subject. She smiled faintly, offering him the papers again. "I brought some clothes, but I don't have a lot," she said softly. "And I brought this..." Her fingers curled around her locket as she continued smiling at Yuri. She hadn't told anyone what was inside it, but since Yuri had actually met the person, she thought it didn't matter anymore. "It has pictures of my parents," she continued with a nod of her head. "So this way they're always with me... And I have other pictures, in my dorm room." She paused again, to think to herself for a moment. "I think that's all I brought." Everything else she owned was back home, but there wasn't anything of value left. She was afraid someone would try to steal something, so she only left a couple random things. Otherwise there were the normal things, like silverware. They didn't have a TV though... She glanced back at Yuri and then looked up at the sky, staring through the leaves above them as she rested her back against the tree trunk. It was strange, but she seemed perfectly comfortable and at ease while sitting up in this flaming tree.

Kana gazed up at the sky for a couple seconds longer, just listening to the silence. Then her eyes shifted towards one of the flames, watching in a sort of trance like daze as it flickered around in random motion. Her ears twitched and she looked back to Yuri as he spoke, her head tilted very slightly again. She watched him for a moment, and then frowned slightly as she looked directly at a branch her hand was resting upon. "Um..." she began uncertainly. "I'm not... sure... I don't see any reason for my parents dying." She stared for a while longer at that branch, and then blinked as she turned and looked at Yuri. "Do you think it does? Maybe there was a reason, and I just didn't realize it..." She fell to thinking to herself for a moment, frowning in concentration. A ton of stuff had happened to her since coming here, good and bad. If her mom had not died, then she wouldn't have come in the first place. Then, if she hadn't met an injured guy and helped him to his room, she wouldn't have met Koichi and Kazan and Kaze, and wouldn't have gotten to visit their family. She shifted slightly in place, tail winding around the branch she was seated upon. And if Suka hadn't attacked her, then she might not have met Yuri, and probably wouldn't even be here right now. But was there a reason behind all this? She wasn't sure...
