Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Um....Rai?....what are you about to do?" she asks seeing a big grin on his face and took off with her squirming to get free, he headed up to the gym's upperfloor which most of the connecter cables and ropes were but Senente had no clue what Raiku was actually up to or most yet why were they up there in the first place. He looks down seeing the party go on till the lights dimmed and everyone grew a little concern, Senente didnt know what was happening but she was part of his little trick he was going to pull and she was part of it.

Without warning a heroic theme came on and Raiku hoisted her up on the balence gate and he grips her tight grabbing hold of one of the ropes,"So Sen....you wanted to see me as the aura guardian....now its time to see him in action....the more dynamic way." he says and out of the blue he jumps with Senente in hand and swings on the rope coming down fast, she screams as they decend down below but the crowd was enjoying it since it was plotted the whole time behind her back. "Fear not maiden when i hear a cry for help I come to the resue no matter the situation or the number of the enemy.....I got you my dear." Raiku says in a brave tone as they came down,everyone was loving it and the children were laughing in excitement,"Thats my daddy! hes the true aura guardian and he saved mommy wat to go daddy." Everest says as the others agreed.

"Well you like a little excitement at times....today was a bit more enjoyable and I decided to pull this out of my sleeves." Senente looks at him with a smirk,"You think your so clever Hatchi boy pulling things out and adding more to a party.....thats why I love you so much." Just as they were in the middle in their conversation Raiku was taken up to the stage and with others he was given the first place ribbon in what apparently the most dramatic entrace part of the party.....and with his little trick it bcame a entry and he won first for it.

Senente looked up to him happy and smiling as the children looked on glad and excited from what had happened even with the dynamic stunt done seeing Raiku's face was even better since he didnt know he was part of it. The rest of the time was full of different turns and spooks as the festivities of halloween were on full swing and everyone was having a good time the kids especially with all the little games going from apple bobbing which Yuki was really good at to several others.

As calm as they could the rest of the teachers below thought of it as the real thing and tried to get the kids out as calm as they could with most of them screaming in panic thinking it was real including the Hatchi sisters, though the thought was to think there was a fire emergency something else was floating around their minds. As the gym quieted and there was noone else in the way Senente and Raiku looked into the face of the enemy knowing well tey wanted to cause more trouble in of all places a school where they would know their targets would be,she looks to them angered,"You would dare to try an attack with so many lives at stake? and of all children? you guys are surely cold to the heartless souls you have but I wont let you harm any of them.....not on my watch and I have help." Itatchi looks down seeing Raiku climb up to the upper level.

"So....having your little boyfriend come to the rescue coming to get us?...Ha, your so gullible and scared just as you were all this time....defeating you will be too simple." he says as he comes to lundge at her only to miss as Senente jumps up grabbing hold of the wire above her swinging to the other side. While the two went at it in a game of catch Raiku was watching close scared out of his mind of what Senente was actually doing to take on Itatchi with his ways of attack it worried him to the core however, while Raiku had a distaction he had forgotten about Deidara who snuck away in a vented window taking on his part of the mission, while Senente and Raiku was distracted with a fight he would get his hands on Yuki and take her back knowing she was a child and knew him from the last encounter that he was a friend to her.

"Ah at last while the so called parents are out of veiw taking their little kitsune will be an easy catch....way too simple." Deidara thinks as he takes his bird down into the crowd below pinpointing her quick and with a fast flick of his wrist snatches on her costume's hairbow.

Evereything almost seemed that Itatchi and Deidara had the upper hand as each had their targets in their hands, Senente was in a daze unable to get out of the trance she was in, unable to yell out that she was taken and to have Raiku come and get her....it almost seemed that they were actually going to get away with both. Up in the woods Raiku looked around trying to hear for Yuki in the trees but feared she was muffled too much smothered in Deidara's cloak or worse she got hit from the impact and was out cold,"Yuki please answer me...daddy needs to hear you honey just please say something!...anything!" he looks around to find a sound then hears a small squeek not to far in front of him and takes off following, he got closer and closer something caught the corner of his eye off to his left, a silloette looking as if it was carrying something till from closer inspection a sense of cold terror ran down him stopping him in his tracks.

"Sen.....no....he got to her with that trance of his.....not my Senente and yet still..." Raiku thinks realizing that the two had two things he loved dearly and losing any of them would be something he would regret, his thinkin had to be quick as they grew farther away going in different direction yet the sight of Senente being taken defensless yet the faint cries of Yuki were fading off.........he had no idea how to do it and thought of something. Knowing he loved his daughter and his wife he knew with the draon taken from Senente would mean instant death to her with it being her main lifeline and painfully as tears streamed on his face went into the direction Itatchi was going,"Sen.....I know you would hate me if anything happened to the girls you wouldnt live it down but for now, its you thats in great peril at this point but dont worry, I shall get you quick and then....then we'll get our girl back together I promise." he says in his mind as he gets to only feet away.

With a fast lunge knowing Senente was on Itatchi's shoulder tackling him as she caught out of his grasp and with a quick thrust Raiku comes in catching her placing her carefully on the ground as itatchi came back to his feet.

Knowing Itatchi was getting near Latias could tell easily that he was considered a threat to her and as quick as he came he takes to the sky careful with Senente hoisted on her back but Itatchi wasnt please with Raiku's little act,"You think your overgrown lizard can take her to safty and all will be forgotten? you just dont know your messing with....Deidara! go and fly after them and get her back!" he nods creating another bird and went off as well however he didnt even get too far with them, out of the blue a speck of purple came out flying right into Deidara and his bird smashing into them with a great force that the bird shattered coming back down as shards buring in a violet fire which started to confused everyone on the ground a bit even Raiku as he sighs seeing Senente and Latias far from harm and back to the island but things were getting intense. The two Atkaski looked to the little creature and from the sense they were getting they has a strain of fear coming down on them as the truth came out as they looked at eachother,"Deidara....is that.....that the kitsune?....what we saw last year?!"

"What!? no it cant be just before I came to you I took the girl out of sight and went to hide her but the little brat started to cry for her father so I found a rock to shut her up and just in case I busted a leg and arm so she could'nt try to crawl away....theres no way thats it." they continue to wonder the impossible however Raiku grew more anger knowing the fact not only did one of his daughters was taken but hurt as well which as a father he knew he wanted to bring great harm to both of them, he was at the verge to raise Tenrai and as he was ready he saw them vanish on another clay bird,"You may won this round Aura Guardian but we'll get them both back but for now we shall wait till the beast in your so called little girl goes back to sleep." he hears them say as they disappeared from sight.

Everything look alright for now knowing Raiku that he fended them off it was till he got a closer look at the figue and couldnt believe what he was seeing, as the aura faded off he could see it was Yuki in bad shape seeing the grey part of her costume stained red as blood dripped from where she was struck but was shocked she was still standing, her leg had a slight bend and was bruised severely from the signs of a broken limb and seeing it he almost was on the ground. It took another moment but Raiku picked the pieces together and realized the dark aura coming from her....the kitsune Kurai and from the look of things he was readey to go back to sleep but tried his best to approach her carefully,"Yuki honey its daddy I know you might be angry I didnt get you in time but I took them down....come here come to daddy and we can go home and fix you up a little.....please let daddy get you." he pleas as Yuki's eyes showed a look of anger but as she looked at Raiku's tears she knew it was her father.......and he was wanting to help.

She tried to walk to him but as Kurai was falling back to sleep the pain of her injuries was growing strong as she stumbled on her bad leg yelping as Raiku came and ran picking her up slowly holding her close,"Its alright dont move, dont talk....your safe mommy is safe we just need to get hiroshi and Everest and get home and be safe together." Once out of the woods the children saw him coming and looked stunned as they saw how bad yuki was but didnt bother to question as he walks up to the principal,"Sir she got hurt in the woods bad can you take her to the hospital for me Senente got knocked out and i have to take these little ones back home." he nods picking up Yuki carefully and looked with a scared stare seeing the blood stains on Raiku and rushes with her with the others going home."Daddy.....will Yuki and mommy be ok?.....she looked really bad." Everest asked seeing Hiroshi sniffle a little but what could raiku say that would soften the blow,"Dont worry, mommy fell out cold and is asleep and as for Yuki....shes a little fighter and will be ok as well dont both of you worry....everything will be alright." he says as they grew quiet coming to the pier of the island with latias waiting for them making sure they were safe as well.

The children just looked at him once and without any words just went into Everest's room for the night as Raiku sat with Senente knowing it would take a little time for her mind to come back to reality of what had happened but on a brighter note.....he knew she was safe. A couple hours go by as it gets closer to two in the morning he tries to keep awake not till she regained conciousness and was talking to him, he had the phone close hoping to get word from her doctor or Ayume on her condition but it was quiet for the time as he sighs looking back to Senente,"I hope you come out of this soon......I really just want to know your still with me and you will be ok......I wont rest till your back with us." Raiku whispers petting her hair but it startle as he hears the phone and hears its Takoyo.

"Well it was a bit of a mess but we were able to stop the head wound nicely so shes moving around in her bed alert but with her broken arm and leg she'll need plenty of healing time however she can still attend classes....she can come home tomarrow." he says and the two talk for a little as he hung up feeling a little better things were alright for Yuki's end but for Senente......he continue to sit and wait as time went on and it got close to four.

They talk for some time getting every detail he could and hangs up the
phone remembering every detail,"If what he said was correct then what
Sen might be suffering from is some sort of illusional state that with a few
herbal mixes might do the trick and take off the effects a little." He gets
up looking at Senente's bookselves getting every one from volume one
to ten setting them down on a table and begins to read, page by page
he reads on mainly looking at the chapters for sleep and halutionations
getting an idea of what to possibly think of, it was quiet till he heard steps
from the stairs.

"Daddy?.... is mommy still sleeping? its almost time for school in a little bit." Everest says as he looks up to her and glances at the clock seeing it was almost seven forgetting he had been up the whole night forgetting the other children were still with him,"You two go on ahead to school on Latias...the principal already got a sub for me and your mommy since shes still asleep and Yuki is being hospitalized for a little. Just ride on her and be sure to come back when the day is over she'll be waiting for you then....I'll see you two later alright." he says as they got ready and went down making a little something for both of them and leaving with Latias at the door as he continued to read and study.

"The answer is in here somewhere....I just need to dig a little more in the subject." Raiku says as several more hours go by till noon started to come and he finally got into something, a chapter on the fact of halutionations that leave their victims in a trance like state that can last for
hours to even weeks and the bitter roots of ginger and tamarind can ease the causes and effects, he goes into the kitchen scurriging the
cabinets for everything the page said to use, one herb at a time Raiku
worked intensily till everything was mixed into the liquid and puts it into a
syringe then went back to the livingroom.

He looks at her for a moment and remembered the fear she had for needle but for this situation and the condition she was in things were on his side,"Dont worry....I'll be getting you out of this trance once and for all and you'll be back into reality....just one poke will do it." he thinks and presses it in her arm as she stirred a little, the only thing he could do next was wait, hope she would improve even with him staying up the entire night but with this going on he would stay up for days.
