Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rage was brewing furociously inside Senente as her last string was being severed, from the sight of seeing the children in the condidtion they were in to seeing an accomplice to Nasagah's father take them away to be sold to possible people who would abuse them to do things they didnt want to do. The man looks up seeing Senente and the look in her eyes....she was in no mood for any explanation,"You!....how dare you do this to mere children, beat them till they cant move to run away and have them taken away from their parents....your messing with one angry mother and I wont be easy on you." he stares up in terror as if he was trying to plea for his life."I beg of you please...I'm just a gopher for the boss I swear I didnt lay a finger on them just the cage. I"m only suppose to take the merchendise to the market and-" "Enough! they are not things for money but children!....they have their own minds and shouldnt be treated like animal...now...you best be setting them free or you will fear my wrath."

Raiku looks on what was happening and couldnt believe what his wife was doing or for the most part what she was saying had a eiree sense to it as cold as a blade,"Sen.....I...." his words were short not even knowing what to say at the point watching come after the man with so much power he couldn't process it, turning his head for a moment he tries to figure out the cage's lock to get them out seeing them both unconcious,"What the hell did he do....they look like they have been in a fight.....he has no heart for their kind even at their age." He looks at the lock picking the corner with a kunai and busts it open and unlatchs the door getting them out and laying them down in a safe spot....just looking at them felt sick from their condition. Senente continues to attack with all her might as the man soon is on his knees battered,"You see how does it feel to be beaten to a pulp that you cant move, thats what your boss did to them so your feeling it too." "M'am please no more...I...I can barely take another blow just please I'll set them free and tell the boss they fled out of the cage when they woke up." he looks at her hoping he would be spared.

She glares at him for a moment and coldly responds,"Glad to have things in my hands....however, if you or your boss ever dare to take me or my daughter and her friend away....I will show no mercy to you." be backs away limping to safety as Senente touched back down walking up to Raiku,"They wont dare defy me again....I think they got the messege right in their head that I'm not one to mess with. Even Nasagah's father...the oh so great demon slayer wasnt hear to see this.....it would have been a shock to his system" "Well...they sure wont mess with the Hatchi's again......you showed them well." he says sighing as she walked to Hiroshi and Yuki, she couldnt believe how beaten they got but had the relief that they were now safe and she was more knowing she got them back,"Rai....lets get back, as for school I'll get a substitute we had a chaotic night and these two are in no condition to be in class." he nods carefully placing the children on Latias as he and Senente flied with Latios.

The rest of the night was ups and downs as Senente tossed in her sleep thinking back at what happened just awhile ago but in her mind it was reality all over again as she tried to stop them but sees there getting away, she watches as the children are taken away and she watches pinned not able to move and scream out for them. She wakes in a cold swaet lookinging around fearing it was true but feels Raiku's arms around her trying to comfort her knowing she was having night terror and the only way he could help soothe her was to let her know she was home,"Your scaring yourself too much jusr remember its just terrors in your sleep....just look down its alright now." he says looking down and so she did and sighed in relief seeing Hiroshi and Yuki asleep quietly and she smiled.

"Your right....I should know were safe but its just that.....it was the most scariest thing I could ever be in I mean we didnt just lose Yuki but another mother's child, do you know how upset Mrs.Mokenami would be if she lost him....I would never regret it." Raiku sighe wrapping her close trying to asure her that things were fine,"Well look on the bright side of all this.....the children are fine, all tooken cared of and so are you....your safe everyone is safe not to mention too were surrounded by the most protective pokemon around all over the island.....noone would dare come here if they want to fight or do anything to this family." It soothes her a little enough and lays back down laying right by him to get a little more sleep, the sun crept into the window stirring both of them awake knowing they had a night of terror but it was far gone and they can have a bit of peace.

Senente gets up getting used to the light and gets up from bed going down to the children,she was timid to touch them not knowing if they were in pain put from the looks they were giving they were just as glad to be out of the prediciment they were in close to being someone's servants or pets."I'm glad you two are safe...its best you just rest for the day....I dont blame you if your both still in shock from everything....its good to have you bath back safe and sound.....and...I wont let anyone get you while you heal." she says heading downstairs.

She was curious at the picture it was discolored somewhat but Senente could easily tell there was something about that one photo that was getting her, curious and with everyone not around she takes the book and sits on the couch cracking it open at that chapter.

"Chapter twenty one: The fall of the Tyrant Cyrus Nightshade.....Princess Yuki was only a mere thirteen when her father knew she didnt develop her kitsune appearance and feared she was like thy mother she never knew and was dissappointed at the princess, there was lectured and told she was a disgrace to the family but tis this a test? tell me that her, a mere child to know how to conjer the power of the shadow kitsune that lays dormant in her father and to vessel her when the time had came tell me I say." Senente read on trying to piece things,"It was the second night of the blood moon curse that the sounds were heared from the throneroom of our king in a struggle with someone covered in a clock hiding their face, the nanny hears the princess and hushes her back in her chambers as the guards teamed up to find out what was happening. We stormed in to see it was too late....King Cyrus laid dead on the floor his blood spattered everywhere from the ground to the throne, his crown, even the assasian as well, the assasion looks to us eyes as yellow at gold with the expression of the mythical dragon and withing the clock long bangs of purple hair clearly making her a women but as we watched the scene thy steps of the princess comes to the balcony.Both the nanny and guards try to stop her before it was too late we almost thought she was going to scream in shock her father was dead however......she merely stood there and glared at his body as she mouthed the words'good ridance' came from the child mouth.....we were shocked she had no remorse for the slain king. A few days go by and the princess is offically crowned the rular of the realm but we all saw what had changed in the young gal.....her eyes showed no shine as if her soul was taken away shrouded in the darkness hence she had been marked Princess Yuki Nightshade: The soulless princess."

Senente finishes the chapter looking at the last sentence explaining the title which was the same,"The Soulless Princess" and places the book back down,"That woman...she she almost......but it cant be.....can it?"

He knew it was a long night with little sleep and the edge of it hit Senente
hard and he could just only but smile,getting up her carefully takes off her
glasses placing them on the table and adjusting her to be comfortable on
the couch laying a blanket on top of her,"Sweet dreams Sen...I'll take care of anything for the time being you just catch up on your sleep." and he spots the remote and watches a little news for awhile. Time went on as is got later Everest came doen wanting to see where her parents went not being woken up and finds Raiku in the kitchen and she tugs on his shirt to get his attention as he looks down,"Oh! I forgotten to wake you mommy decided to let you stay home today after what happened to Yuki and Hiroshi, are they up yet?"

"No....I went to see but they were asleep on the futon still but I
came down because they were flinching a little and I didnt know why."
Raiku thinks about it and pretty much knew it was because the two of them had slight pain after what had happened and most likely sleep for awhile. "Wheres mommy? I didnt see her?" she asks looking around as Raiku picked her up onto the counter,"Mommys fine but shes really really tired, she didnt get any sleep taking care of your sister and Hiroshi so I let her rest on the couch just let her be for the time."

He looks at the clock and sees it was already two and decided to warm up the breakfest for lunch while Senente sleep....he was sure of himself he could do a couple basic things around the house no matter how many times Senente had said to him everytime he did something it seems to always go back at him in the most negative of way however he wanted to make sure things didnt pile up.

He starts simple with cleaning up from breakfest and a little organizing around the livingroom and so far things were alright. Upstairs Hiroshi was stirring back into reality as he could see he wasnt in the cage anymore nor the dojo and sat up and sees he was back on Hatchi Island, he looks on his other side and sees Yuki asleep and remembers what happened to them,his hands bandages uo he slides his hand under Yuki holding her close as she slept,"Were safe.....we dont need to be scared anymore, were safe now." she makes a noise in her sleep and he smiles.

Everest could tell something was going inRaiku's mind but couldnt really tell what it was and set it aside, she looks at Hiroshi and wondered what exactly happened....true he and Yuki were hurt but she never really knew what really happened and looks to see if Raiku was looking to ask."So....what really happened to you guys...I remembered the day we went home from school you two looked like you saw something really scary......did something bad happen?" he looks at her not minding the fact but was scared stiff from it,"Well let me ask you this....have you ever saw Nasagah's daddy before?"

"Yeah a big guy with a lot of marks on him...he's very picky with who's friends with him and I think thats why Nasagah is always a bully because his daddy is mean." Hiroshi was about to say more till Raiku came in to check on them seeing they finished up and has them play up in Everest's room,once they were alone again they continued to talk. "Well the thing is that his dad is a demon slayer thats why he has so many cuts and....he found out somehow that me and Yuki were demon but I know he wouldnt suspect you just yet but with you as her sister he will know....I think Nasagah found out something awhile back and told him and he tried to get your mom too." he says as Everest remembers Senente had the dragon inside her and was a little scared as he continued,"Well when he tried to get your mommy your daddy fought him off and......well I thought we would've been safe from him at my house since it was hidden but he found us and took us away wrapping his arm on my neck and hitting Yuki."

"Why did she hit her for?" she asks but Hiroshi remembers it too much,"She tried to run away when I told her to escape but he threw these metal spheres at her and one hit her in the head......I couldnt do anything about it." tears start to form in his eyes but Everest hugs him lightly stopping him. "Dont be sad....you tried to help her but you were outmatched which wasnt a fair fight but look at you now, your safe and all treated and Yuki is sleeping with my mommy safe....you did your best to save my sister." She tried to get it in his head he tried to help and it was clear from the tint on his cheek she figured it out.....Hiroshi liked Yuki a lot and was too scared to say it out but at the time Everest wanted to make sure guilt wasnt going to set in him so much he was going to mope about it.

Raiku sat in the chair by the couch watching Senente and Yuki sleep and just sat in deep thought,"I almost lost these guys....what would I had done then? It would just of been me and Everest in the house and I know I wouldnt be able to raise her alone." he shakes the thought off and watches them seeing Senente dream a little peacefully seeing a smile on her face not even noticing Yuki was right next to her making noises as she slept most likely remembering what happened that night before she was knocked out by Nasagah's father's attack.

Raiku could see the shine of tears from her eyes and held her close sitting back down,he didnt realize how hard this would be trying to forget the past and go on with the night past them there was still the mental scars that would need to take time the most."I'm just as glad as you about this....to think of what your fate would've been in the hands of them I never want to think about. The best things now is everyone is back together and not in the hands of the evil this city, were all here."

Senente looks up to him smiling and stays in his embrace feeling the extra security and gets up trying to think of something to do but from her view....everything was actually done and she didnt do it,"Rai?...theres nothing wrong with the house did you actually....did the chores?" "Well I knew you were asleep and a few things were left behind to do so....I just wanted to do something while you rested." she was surprised but took another look knowing Raiku his housework skills wernt the most accurate and sees he actually did everything and nothing was broken or children wernt fighting or being too loud.....she was pretty impressed for his efforts.

Upstairs Hiroshi and Everest were quiet drawing with her crayons not as talkitive after he told her about the kidnapping in his house and the close call of never seeing anyone again, even with his hands bandaged up to the fingers he was able to color and looks outside thinking in deep thought. Raiku opens the door lightly checking at the two,"Senente wants you downstairs for a little bit before bed.....just to have everyone together for a moment knowing were all here." he says as they come down Senente was holding Yuki for a moment petting her hair as she slept still."Dont worry Sen she'll wake up soon much soon then you know it." he smiles then she does setting her down getting redy to prep dinner seeing the other children come down sitting quietly on the rug,Senente was happy seeing everyone and it gave her sense that everything was going to be alright though the thoughts of what happened lingered in her mind it was consuming her in fear like they did in her sleep last night.

Raiku helps her out as she heared them play with blocks and he could see the improvement in her expression,"There thats what I want to see." he says seeing her smile a little then he goes grabbing a few things from the cabinet, after a few minutes Senente takes a look in the livingroom seeing Hiroshi sitting by Yuki listening to her make noises in her sleep and looks up to see her,"Ms.Hatchi? is Yuki alright." she could tell from her noises and smiles,"Yes shes just dreaming a little.....at least she'll wake up soon once her mind comes back into reality." he looks at her."I tried to tell her to run....and.....he was just too faster and..." Hiroshi started to tear and felt being pick up held close as Senente hugged him close as he sniffled,"You did what you can do honey....that was a brave thing to do and you were just trying to help her to escape but it just was a little of an unfair advantage....I'm happy both of you are alright and you shouldnt be ashamed of not doing anything....you did."

Dinner was quiet as Senente would take a glance or two seeing Yuki asleep as Swablu petted her with its beak, Raiku was trying to think of things that would let her mind feel at ease and thinks hard till he catches onto an idea. The only reason she was probably parinoid was because she had been in the house too long and being secluded was getting to her....."Hey Sen....why dont we get out and go for a little night walk around the island I mean we've all been in the house for most of the time.....why dont we get some air." she was a little concerned,"But Rai! what happened to being careful and its dark and-" Raiku interrupts.

"Sen its alright we'll stay on the island and I'll even have the bigger pokemon keeping watch and the bird types scanning the sky to report if anything happens....I think you need it and so do the kids, finish up your meal and we'll go at least for ten minutes....just to clear our minds. After some debate everyone finished up and Raiku told the kids there going outside for a little bit and had them all find their shoes, pulling his own he sees Yuki with Swablu and picked up anothr of Senente's pokeballs and out pops a Chimecha,"Chimecha, Yuki is hurt so she'll start to cry just float around her ringing a little that way she'll hear your soothing sound and calm down can you do that?" it floats above his head in agreement settling by Yuki and Swablu as they all headed out the door.

It was crisp out and the leaves danced on the floor as they walked Senente had a sense of security and the children stayed quiet, somehow the calmness was setting into them and it was a happy stroll.
