She shook. Hard. This was ten...no, twenty times worse than the worst gate lag. Seriously. Her teeth were chattering hard enough to make her ears hurt.
"Hey, Kagura," she croaked. "What's wrong?" Looking at the sun, she frowned, perplexed. "What the..." 'That felt like days!'
"That was...um...one short nap," she offered, lamely.

Duri pointed to the box on the table, "In there," He said and walked over to Kagura, still in tears, "Kagura..."
"Go away! I don't need you right now!" She yelled, running upstairs. She was honestly hurt.

She slowly stood up, wobbling a bit. "I have every right to say that my head hurts like hell," she murmured, only a little shell-shocked. "I should probably...see if she's okay..."

Duri scratched the back of his head, "Go ahead, I won't mind."
The reason Duri wasn't upset was due to the fact that he understood Zero's abilities.

Zero looked at mimsy and shook his head.
"Let Duri handle it. They need time."
((Night everyone!))

She looked between Duriono and Zero, a bit disoriented. "Ow. Okay, guys? Just received two different pieces of advice while thoroughly dizzy. I really...don't know if I can tell her it was 'all for the best' right now..." She shook her head, then immediately regretted the action.
"I...need some time to think..." she muttered. "Please tell Kagura that everything's okay..."
'What the hey just happened? You vanished. You legitimately vanished.'
'Honestly? If I told you I'd have to kill you.'
(OOC: G'night, ya'll. Curse my curfew...*grrr*)

Duri shrugged "Meh, fine, I'll do it.." Duriono walked up the stairs and knocked on Kagura's door, "Hey, Sis? Can I come in?"
"You can, but I wouldn't like it.." Kagura responded, opening the door. "Listen Kagura, I understand that you hate the sight of death, and that-" Duriono walked in, sitting on a chair.
"Who said I hated it? I love the battle! It brings me on step closer to surpassing you Master!" Kagura slammed the door shut, turning to face him. "And you know what? I'm tired! I'm tired of being beaten down! I'm tired of losing! I'm tired of the pain!" She began to cry, slowly tearing her false hand from her arm. "Wait.. What are you talking about?"
"You all think that I'm just some optimistic little girl, you think that if I'm sad, a few kind words will cheer me up!"
"Kagura I-"
"Master! I'm tired of death! And you know what!? I'm going to kill him, or her, or what ever the hell death is!" She tore her hand off, tossing it aside, "Remember when Alice killed me? I was defenseless! And If I tried to fight her now, I'd probably still die!" She walked up to Duriono, pulling hin close in by the collar, her eyes weren't so innocent anymore. "And if your some kind of knight in shining armor, then why didn't you stop this?" She brought her arm to his face, he could see the bone, sticking out from the skin. "And that's why, I'm gonna become strong.... I'm going to be stronger than Aleta, stronger than June, stronger than Mimsy, stronger than Rafeal, stronger than Kyra, stronger than Yumi, Dante, Zephyr, STRONGER THAN YOU! STRONGER THAN DEATH ITSELF!"
Duri's eyes widened, he wanted to say sorry, but it wouldn't work. He didn't understand what she meant by 'kill death' but he knew that Kagura was more than what showwed on the surface.
"And Master, I'm going to be strong, so that my family won't need to be.. and for that to happen... I'll have to defeat all of you, take solace in the fact that you'll be the last to lose." She drew away, reattaching her hand and joyfully bouncing back downstairs, leaving Duriono alone.
Damn.... She ain't got ADHD...

(OOC: O.O Holy crap, man... BTW, going to be out until, oh, 10 this evening (cruuud) for course selection. Blah. Going to post this so you don't mourn my absence. Jay-kay...)
She leaned against the wall of the room she had rented, secretly listening. It wasn't like she wouldn't hear it. But there was just so much hurt there, and it was something she didn't want to think about. She forced herself to hear it anyway. And she closed her eyes, giving a silent prayer to whatever god she could believe in, any god that would have her.
'She doesn't need this.'
Rolling over onto her side, and wishing she could cry, she fell asleep for the first time in almost...she didn't know how long.
A vast army...spread out across the plains...a weapon...A great, magnificent weapon...shattered. in pieces. broken. like their hopes. The fire was held close to her eyes, they had shaved off all of her hair...But worse...They took them to the pit, where things swarmed and twisted in the darkness. 'Tell us where he is,' they had asked.
She knew how to cry then. 'I don't know.' They threw them in, and even when she closed her eyes she could hear them and see them being devoured, slowly, peeled away from this earth, and...
She shot up, sweating and shaking. It was morning. Covering her eyes with one hand, she took deep, wholesome breath through her nose, trying to fight back the nausea that swept over her. 'In death alone do we find out peace...Unless you've seen...' And just like that, she couldn't remember her dream.
"Where is Kagura?" She fit her headset over her head, fiddling with the channel. 'Yo. Morning. I need you to track someone down. I have some hunting to do.'
Nothing but static.
As panic settled into her stomach, she changed the volume, reentered the channel number and frequency. 'Yo! Earth to Pi!' Nothing. 'C'mon, you little turd face, where are you?'
Something was very wrong.

Duriono walked out of his room the next day, holding his head,"Where'd Kagura go..." He looked around but found nothing. That girl.... She doesn't need all this.. he put on a fake grin, but dropped it as soon as he smelt Mimsy's scent by Kagura's door. "Did you see Kagura?" He cracked open her door.
((Wow, 10? dang..))

She breathed slowly, nausea filling her again. 'Oh please no...I need to have a talk with him about this whole dying thing...' Then she shook her head.
"I heard her, but that's about it. We're..." She swallowed, bile creeping up her throat. "We're running out of allies," she said hoarsely. "I...should sit down..." Slowly, she dropped so that she could sit on the floor, closing her eyes and breathing slowly. Control. Gain control.
"We should probably bring her back..."
(OOC: Bye! Or I'll be late for the bus! *laughs* See ya later.)

Duriono sighed, closing the door he trudged downstairs, Kagura.. I wasn't lying, you are really one of the strongest people I know. he pulled the keys to his car from his pocket and walked outside.

June regained conciousness and looked around, her vision blurred. She experienced the symptoms of hangover.
"wah...WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?!"

Duriono was simply standing at the door, "Uhh June, I'm right here.." He waved, walking closer, and crouching when at her location. "You had one too many huh,"

(OOC: My school has really slow computers. >_> Plus, thanks to your advice, I caught the bus! smile )
And then like that...it was gone. She sat up, wiping a sheen of sweat off of her forehead. 'Weird...'
Right. Kagura had snapped. Or left. Something was wrong. She had to die to do that job for Zero. Pi was out for the count. Or something. Now where was everyone...? 'Probably doing their parts for Zero,' she thought grimly, standing up. 'I need to find Kagura. We need her help.' Slowly, painfully, she took off her headset, dangling it between two fingers before dropping it on her bed.
"Alright," she told herself. "I've got a...friend to save." Quickly, she left her room and went outside. Needed a proper trace spell...

Duriono walked outside, holding a doll, crafted to look exactly like him, he sniffed it for about a minute, and then walked to his car. "I've got your scent Kagura, now here I come.." He put the key in the igniton and sat there in thought for a moment.
((See!? I help everyone!))
