Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaguyo slept nestled close to Aled, using his chest and upper stomach as her pillow.
She was exquisitely tiny compared to him. It was surprising she hadn't broken yet through all her ordeals.
She looked peaceful when she was asleep, soft, gentle...
She was much more sharp when she was awake, in the right company.
Letting out a soft yawn, she snuggled closer, nuzzling his chest.

Kaguyo had vivid dreams that night, all involving Ainsu. While she slept curled up to Aled most of the night, it was clear that there were many more things disturbing her than she spoke of.
She had been through a great deal of stress lately.

Kazuhiko was awake at dawn, naturally.
The boy hardly slept, he didn't need that much sleep; he watched the world outside beaming. "Beaaautiful..." he murmured softly, quite pleased. "I like this world a lot..."

Kaguyo didn't wake up, however, sound asleep.
The woman was exhausted. She knew how to sleep in such a way to ignore everything around her; this was one of those times.
Who could blame her after the day before?
She didn't necessarily look peaceful however. There was too much she worried about for that.
In a matter of days, if this kept up, she was bound to sleepwalk.
"Su-kun..." she murmured softly in her sleep, "Doko desu ka..? Su-kun.."
Her heart was his. For all of Aled's fighting, her heart was Ainsu's, as it always had been.

Kaguyo was up in a heartbeat, confused at first.
She grabbed her robe, sheathing herself before looking at the tray, scooping up the pile of papers and carefully drying them off.
When she saw the papers, she choked back the tears, a hand going over her mouth.
She quickly got dressed in the first thing she could find, a dull silver tankdress that was attractive and draped elegantly over her figure. She didn't care about clothes.
She carried the papers with her, bolting out into the hall after the fleeing playwright. "Su-kun!" she choked out, falling to her knees before him as he turned around. "Forgive me!! I had to know... I don't want him, Su-kun, I don't know what came over me... Gomen nasai... Gomen nasai...!" she sobbed, hugging the script to her chest. "Su-kun, aishiteru, gomen nasai... gomen nasai!!"
She was grieving deeply; it wasn't hard to tell she was being honest.
Kaguyo never knelt to anyone, even Aled.
"Gomen nasai...."

"The play we wrote..." Kaguyo trembled, tears running down her cheeks, "What have I done.... Wh... what have I done?!!" she sobbed, rising to her feet.
She clung to the script as she fled, although she managed to drop quite a few pages along the way.
The rest she kept in better condition. They were safe in the Palace.
She had to get to Ainsu before he froze to death. Floating in the air for a moment, she started to fly after him, looking through the cities.
"SU-KUN!!!" she shouted, looking around, "SU-KUN!!!"

Kaguyo missed him.
She didn't know how she did it, but she missed him.
"SU-KUN!?!! DOKO DESU KA?!!" she shouted, a page of the script slipping from the pile she still clung to.
It landed not that far away.
"DOKO DESU KA?!!"
No reply...
She continued on into the open fields before the mountains, searching to see if he was among the snowdrifts there. "Su-kun!!! Su-kun, doko desu ka?!!"
She had dreamt of this before. She paused, taking in the silence around her.
Why was this important?
She landed, feeling oddly hollow and unsettled as she did so. Her footsteps crunched and cracked in the snow like avalanches, unnaturally loud.
"Su-kun?? Doko desu ka?" she called softly, but the silence seemed to make her voice as quiet as the wind itself.

Kaguyo rushed over, still clinging to the script. "Iie, Aoki-san.... Onegai... Don't hurt him... I won't fight..." she whispered. "Please don't hurt him."
