Welcome to Gaia! ::

For the small child Hibiki looked up shaking like a leaf but to feel warmth not from the tea but the presence of someone he knew but never knew would actually see in his lifetime, looking up to the bright blue eyes his own were wide open to the fact he was in the presence of a holy icon from the scrolls read to them in the orphanage during studies, of the great Shiro that brought the village of Phamtrois a greater future of ridding the evils of their rival city Lokchaos and bring the bloodshed to an end for peace. To hear her voice was an honor and it was rude to just sit and stare as he felt secure being around her not knowing the truth of it all.
"My lady......I am plague with bad nightmare of my home realm that in time I would be seen and killed on the spot for being in the wrong place....I've seen other children be lost in the woods for time and very few returning with horrifuc scars from their ordeal. I fear of being hunted for being one of the Phantronian decent and sent back tobe tortured and mutilated beyond reconization....I fear death itself if I dare stare upon the darkness of the woods nearby."
Hibiki was scared at the fact it was dark outside and the woods gave the eiree glow of the ones back home, only there wasnt the smell of the Sootans on the prowl or the tell tale howl that ment they had found something and would go for the kill. With all the stories of the woods being death to the ones in their presence, it scared the poor child that sleep wasnt going to be an easy thing since the stories he was told brought fear.

Just as soon as he was down the stairs Senente was already back to normal and what was looked like fast asleep on the couch while Hibiki was at the verge of passing out thanks to the tea mix she had him sip on, as the herbs were causing to finally fall asleep as well. He saw it and picked uo the both of them placing little Hibiki on his futon and carefully putting Senente into her own, it was almost like a second nature thing for him to do since she always had the tendency to stay up too late for her own good and crash where she was only to wake up in her own bed, that wasnt a problem since Raiku liked how she slept through him taking her up and about and setting her in bed....thats how he liked to see her than just stressed about things. Soon after checking the lights to be off and the dog's bowls filled he went to the stairs only to see Kurai in the backyard still on a leash for chewing up Raiku's best slipper just to spike him and the two were locked in eye contact, Kurai hated to be treated like a dog since he was a fox but that was the fun of it to see his rants on it was uncivilized when he was the one on the pole barking away to be free, then again Raiku never really liked him but loved to treat him like a dog just to get the reaction.

Having hear that it was one of those times he wondered what the heck was going on but from how they sounded they were mezmorized from his sight since they were seeing nothing more than a pure white light, somehow he had managed not to realize it but in the Nova Kingdom he was truely the king and husband to the lady Shiro....Senente in this case. To the rebal Lokchaions he was an icon not to be messed with of the power he had in him he could easily take them down with just a flick of his fingers and they would cease to exist to anyone. Raiku didnt know that once his ring touched the locket he was in control of being in time and messing with things in the oast as he wanted, the night Haruka was running was the main key of why poor Hibiki feared the dark and this was his chance to change things while he had it in his hand, to throw the rock in their way was what he wanted to happen and give him a chance to let Haruka flee to the gate to freedom with her son in hand.
As for the Sootans they were left in their tracks from the light blinding their sight that their targeted prey was out of their veiw long enough for an escape, though she had not seen what had happen it was more of a miracle she was able to jumo into the gate and to Earth where it was safe and no harm was briught to her nor Hibiki. Raiku looked to the rebals and saw they had fled with their dignity lagging on as he started to warp back into his time in the livingroom where he had left for thise short moments, looking he saw Senente asleep in her bed in peace and something told him to go where the Mokenamis were sleeping and saw a face he really wanted to see. Instead of a shaking teared stained face he saw a at peace child huddle in his blanket with a smile on his face, dreaming of who knows what but fea wasnt lingering in his aura like it had been when he arrived to Earth and Skyline.
Realizing he had changed time for those few moment Raiku smiled heading to bed knowing he had just done an ability anyone could wish to have, and all it took was a touch of Nova items to do what he had just done to make things better for the family that had been through so much but could now rest.

He decided to say everything that was buzzong in his mind from what had happened, with everything in great detail from the big chase to even the white light that was glowing by him and his mother, Senente at first was a little skeptical on the whole thing but realized the slight glow her locket was giving and had a clue but didnt skip to the point just yet since she had to hear the entire story. As she listened she realized he was more talkative and even starting a communication thing with her on his own terms.
"It was about when mother and I were going to the gate but something went wrong, a rebal group tried to stop us as well as some Sootans in the area, at first I thought momma and I would be killed or taken away but a strange light came and we were able to find a route to escape and come here....it was bizzare but I belive I saw the Nova King himself in a light form to guide us to safety and how I have no fear of this new world."
Senente wasnt sure what to think yet did at the same time from the fact the word 'nova' was in the mix and she had a good idea whom it was and took it kindly.

The box and the kimonos were pretty obvious for him to know which it was and before thinking the words just came out as Senente tossed his over to him to put it in a safe place for the time being. He had always loved the Couples Festival even since he was a teenager because of the fact the adults were allowed to do as they please and have no worry of the children, question was now where the children were going to be taken this time since there were so many of them in the house that their average sitters would be busy with their own things and most likely be unable to tend to care for them all, but take it to Senente to figure out a solution and he was waiting for one but nothing was coming out of her mouth but a smirk. Raiku wasnt thinking at the time but knew that if he had knew her for all that he did she had a plan and it involved his end of things. There were times that whenever something was big happening Senente would leave it for Raiku's brothers........of all people to sit for children she was thinking of them since they were available and she didnt really think her twin brother would do the job, let alone her baby with a man that cared for himself all the time. Thinking about it Raiku did know that his brothers did owe them for some time and to surprise them with a bundle of children would be a good payback.

Then again it was a bit humorous that her kimono was a tad shorter now since it had been awhile since she had worn it, and as well had grown a little since then plus from having Yuki in the process. Besides the laughing he knew better not to do it too long unless he wanted to see hisbrother's glare and get a bruisong later on, so it was a short lived time as the clock was ticking for the festivities to begin. Since most of it was going to be in the city Senente and Raiku made sure that their sitters had everything they needed to care for the children, however not much had to be taught since the sisters knew much about small children for years of practice on one another, so childcare was going to be very simple for them but it was Ryushi that was going to be a little difficult.
Since he was a kid he didnt have to watch his brothers much but still got away with a lot of things and the babysitting was more of a free for all with each boy. Things were different since a baby was in the mix and Raiku asured his brother that if one hair on any of the children would to be out of place he showed his fist to what was to come as Senente pulled him away to start heading to the mainland. With one last kiss and hug they were off to the festival to actually enjoy themselves after having a long time to tend to the island and the children from causing fights with on another, this was their mini vacation of a sort.

"I had seen this pin for awhile and it was about time it had came in, Haruka gave you a rare white lily from the Shadowlands from her home village in the form of a hairpin, unfortunately the united state government didnt want to return it due to the face the flower itself absorbed too much radiation and eventually it had died. Luckly she was able to come back and repair the pin for you and even placed a preserver over the petal so it can last longer than the average flower.......just wanted to place it in you hair was all."
Senente nodded feeling it in her hair and felt like a little princess with it on, even Haruka saw her happiness from the counter of a rainbow of flowers ready to be snipped and knew she was happy with her gift.
"I thought I would see that flower eventually on your hair Mrs. Hatchi, its pure and crisp just as your spirit is and suits your style nicely." she said snipping away at the buds.
The shop was fragranced with the sweet smells of the flowers that it was hard to leave knowing the scents alone were very pleasant.

Taikoyaki was a food Raiku always loved to eat during festival time and Senente as well had the chance to eat something that wasnt so healthy all the time like it was back home, junk food of any sorts were something banned on the island since the children had to know that the fruits and such were a good thing in their bodies making candy and sweet a rarity whenever they got a good grade or something like that. The smell was in the air like a wild scent and everyone liked to watch how they were made since there were vary few that knew how to do it right the first time around without breaking the bread or burning the outside shell, like a blink of an eye the cooks would measure the batter in the right amount and before you could see it they were cooking to the point that they were already turned with a thin stick and finally on a small plate. Senente watched the little show of theirs being cook and even Raiku was excited to try one after not having them around for almost a year but of course his mouth was more fast than his reactions as he forgotten they had just came out from the griddle and were hot to the touch, just he took a bite he felt the heat and did his best not to drop the dumpling while thumbling from how hot it was when it hit his mouth.
~~~
The sisters noticed Hibiki's behavior and wanted to do something about it but Senente had warned them that it was probably how he was going to react since just seeing the Hatchi family alone was hard to get used to, and to have others in the house as strangers was more to the pot. Instead of being around Hiroshi he decided to scurry outside intrested on the sounds out there of the leaves blowing in the trees to the wind making a noise as it hits something from the ground, sounds was one thing he was intrested in and never had a problem with the ones he hear from his ears.
