 A rather large mansion sat out on its own, surrounded by thick woods and country air. Miles away from Hoshi city and further from those that call themselves Kudo's, it was a place all of it's own. The mansion had a dark feel to it, but not necessarily evil. The front had a well cared for lawn, while around back there sat off to the side a small garden. On the other side of the back was a training area for those who chose to. Further back ran a river, cold and crystal clear. It ran across the whole of the property, ending in a falls and a deep pool of fresh water. The mansion itself held many rooms. The french doors in the front opened wide to welcome any member or traveler wishing retreat from the harsh road. The main entry room was rather small, not designed to be occupied for very long. The living room, off to the right was much bigger. It was covered in velvet and soft couches and lounges. A bar sat off to the corner, fully stocked and oddly almost over run with bottles of whiskey. The dinning room off to the left was equally luxurious. The chairs plush and table big. The dinning room connected to the kitchen, fully stocked and state of the art. The second floor held many rooms for inhabiting. They all contained no smaller than a queen sized bed and a plush chair. Each room came with their own full bath and small balcony to the outside. The third floor held the library, where one could find books ranging from romance novels to tombs on the ancient art of politics. The fourth floor was strictly off limits, due to the fact that the whole floor was Karu's personal living quarters. However, there was a staircase that led even to the top of the mansion, to the roof. A flat area where one could go to meditate, or admire the various flowers that seemed to be kept there.

Teri looked around wide eyed at the forest around her, she had never seen these parts before. They had always been bogged off by the myst and her fear of going into the myst and never returning had kept her from adventuring too far.
She sniffed the air and looked at Karu, "I smell mecha." she stated. "But it smells... weird, like.. like its not from this world." The kitsune pressed her nose into the air more trying to figure it out with each sniff she took. Sje suddenly snorted and rubbed her nose making annoyed noises. "Gross! I inhaled a bug!"

Gippal wiped his forehead with the shirt he had drapped over his shoulder. He then blinked at his shirt, when had he taken it off? Laughing at his loss of memory he tossed it to the side and looked up at the work he had finnally completed. "So wadda ya think LEA?" He questioned the ships AI system.
"It's hideouse. Remove it." A female voice spoke stoutly.
Gippal laughed out right and put his hand on his hip, "Now, now, thats not very nice. I've been workin' hard on that."
"It shows. Truely."
He laughed again a bit shocked, "Was that sarcasm? When was that imputed into your program configurations?"
"When the princess began working my systems as the ships tech hacker." She replied calmly.
"So..." Gippal sat down on the floor leaning back on his arms and his legs spread. "Why do you call her princess?"
"Because she was one, when I found out her real name the history in my systems picked her up as the youngest princess of the world Atinis." LEA explained. "Now please remove that hideouse working you attached to me."
"No. Thats my final awnser." He told her with a big smile on his face. "You'll get over it, you and the ship are mine now, so if I'm gonna be living in it, then I want it the way i like it. With pure cherry wood rafters, floors, and walls. It's not like I made you all wood, you're still made of good metals. I just dont wanna look at it all the damn time." He explained as her stood up and brushed his pants off.
(( I figure you're posting the last post we posted in Hoshi, so I copied off of you. ))

Karu smirked at the excitement growing in the Kitsune, it was a good sign that she was right about her theory. "What you smell is mecha. It is a spaceship from another planet. It belonged to a very good friend of mine." Her tail flipped as she caught the scent of Gippal's sweat. Her eyes grew a darker red as a low growl collected in the back of her throat. She couldn't see him, but his scent stirred old emotions in her. Her whole body language changed as she started to stalk her 'prey'. She stooped low as she slowed her movements, her ears swivled on her head as she picked up his voice from inside the ship. "Got you..." she stated in a low voice.
((oh come on! now where's the fun in this?! *rolls around complaining* i wanna sleep!! gonk ))

Teri was suprised by Karu's uprupt change in attitiude. Were they hunting for something? Was the man Gippal a dangerouse one? Or was their something not right about what the female senced of smelled. Her kitsune features disapeared just incase the element of suprise was needed and crouched down sticking close to the woman. "Is something wrong?" She whispered.

She shook her head and motioned for her to stay quiet. Karu continued to stay alert and managed to sniff out Gippal's exact location. Her speed picked up as she hunted down her old friend, a sense of excitement waffing off of her. She traveled in the ship carefully, wanting to keep those memories dead. One ear was kept listening to Gippal while the other was on the look out for the others. She suddenly stopped at a corner and smiled like a sly fox. She motioned for Teri to stay there and be quiet as she readied herself.
Karu crouched low to the ground on all fours. Her tail waved back and forth as she slowly began to slink into the room where Gippal was. With all her skills of hunting and fighting and staying out of sight, she managed to get close enough behind the unaware man. Her heart beat fast as her fangs shown in the light. With one dramatic move she leapt toward Gippal and pounced on him with all of her body weight. "RAWR!"
(( 4laugh be afeared of the awsomeness that is!!))

(( In all honesty LEA would have warned me of any intruders on, in , or around the ship. But we'll let it slide for fun sake. mrgreen ))
"Stop argueing with me, the room is staying the way i-" His words were suddenly cut off. "Agh!!" He hollard as he was slammed to the ground. "Huf fryd dra ramm?!"
Gippal stretched his arm down reaching for his gun and struggled to grasp its handle. "LEA WHY DIDNT YOU WARN ME?!" To his dismay the ship didn't reply, nor was she making any actions to save him. Who the hell was on him that she wouldn't harm?

((DAMN SKIPPY YOU'LL LET IT SLIDE!! xd heart ))
Karu's growl echoed the room as she struggled with Gippal, her left hand pinning his to the ground as her right struggled to reach his gun first. She smirked as her legs wrapped around him and held him close to her. Once Gippal's hand reached his gun, her's was right on top of his gripping it rather suggestively. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered rather playfully. "Because I'm programed as one of the crew." She grinned and sat back on him, her tail wagging against his legs as she peered down at him as if she had won a big fight between them and he was her new prize. "Did you miss me, Gippal?" She licked her fangs in her own way of saying, 'if you move they'll go into your neck' sort of way. Before she even let him move or respond she began 'talking shop' so to speak. "I brought someone. I know you know Faith better than I ever had the oppertunity to. You know she's dead, but I never saw a body and my stubbornness won't allow me to accept her death. I want you to meet her, Gippal. She may be the key to Faith's dissaperance." She leaned down once more, her lips to his ear. "Please?" Her voice was pleading and soft, something that was rare if not impossible to hear coming from her.

Teri stayed put and leaned against a wall looking around, the ship that they were in was very interesting indeed. She had never seen metal of this sort before, nor a ship in this kind of design. It must have been built to live on, a ship this size wouldnt be made for much of anything else.
When she heard the skuffle in the other room Teri didn't pay any mind to it. She knew from Karu's body languege that she would be hearing some sort of struggle.
(( o.o; My mouse is having a hard time detecting my finger from all the paint stuck on it. xd Its quite silly, and frustrating! whee ))

Gippal sighed inwardly with relief once he recognized the voice that spoke to him. Karu, in a sence he should stay on his guard anyway with this tempermental woman. But for some reason she never actually suprised him in any sort of way, he could always predict if she were going to do something rash or sudden.
He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off when she began to speak. The Al Bhed lisened carefully to what she had to say resting his cheel on the floor. If it werent for the subject that she spoke of, he would be squirming on the inside from her suggestive taunting. His face seriouse and his mood no longer a good one he thought. 'But the princess is dead, I was at her bed side when it happened.' But he knew Karu well enough to know that she wouldnt toy with him when it came to Faith.
"Alright." His voice was low and careful.

Karu nodded, her face actually reveiling the relief his willingness gave her. She slowly let go of his hand and gun and shifted off of him. Before Gippal could move to get up she kissed his ear. "Thanks, she means a lot to me too." Karu stood and smoothed out her clothes as if nothing had happened. She pulled out a cigarette that seemingly appeared out of nowhere and lit it up. "Teri." She said in a stern voice for her to come out of hidding. Her tail lashed as she put her buisness face back on, all of the joking and flirting between friends was done and gone. "Gippal, this is Teri Kaitou. She's from Hoshi city, and I think she is harboring Faith's soul or personality or something of her inside of her. We barely know each other but there are certain things she knows about me and says that suggests that she could be Faith." She exhaled a big puff of smoke as she turned to where Teri would be.

(( Alex, you need to call me tomarrow if you get the chance. Sorry for being nothing but bad news lately, but I have more to rant and rave about. ))
Teri heard her name being called and silently made her way into the room. She was in awe by all the wood work and furnishings, nothing she had seen in a ship before, it felt more like a building then a ship with none of the metal showing. Remembering why she was there Teri turned to face Gippal and Karu. She didnt really pay attention to Karu's rambling until sh ecaught the name Faith.
That got her attention, not because it was as if it was her own name. But because she rememberd her parents and even Nathan asking her at certain times 'Are you Faith right now or Teri?'

He looked over to the girl who walked into the room and smiled as she admired his just finnished work. "She's quite pretty." He whispered to Karu. "But she looks a bit too young for me." He crossed his arms over his chest.
"Hello Miss. Kaitou!" He greeted her with a happy tone. Gippal already knew there was something about her that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. But he needed to hear her speak before he could judge too much. "Ruf't oui mega du cbaht dra hekrd rana fedr sa duhekrd?" A sly grin was spread across his face and his spiraled eyes watched her carefully for a reaction.

Karu growled a warning at Gippal at his comment. She had forgotten just how old she was, but she had never meant for Teri to even be an interest for him. She crossed her arms over her stomach to keep from starting a fight with Gippal, thusly distracting from the real issue at hand. She did her best to ignore Gippal as Teri walked in. She could see the amazement in Teri's eyes by the entire ship, and it felt right to her. She was about to open her mouth to address Teri when the Al Bhed went too far with words.
Karu's eyes grew a blood red as she turned to Gippal. She bared her fangs at him with her full force of temper. "Kut tysh ed Gippal! E pnuikrd ran rana vun oui du luhvens so drauno, hud vun oui du dno yht catila ihtan so huca!! Oui banjand! Frah femm oui ajan maynh?!" Karu sighed and rubbed her temples in an attempt to calm herself. "Un tet oui vunkad dryd E cbayg ouin myhkiyka duu?" She gave him one last snarl of warning and quickly lit up another cigarette, already done with her first.
((Ah, good ol' Karu's temper! ^.^ How I missed it so, she was getting too soft with her age anyways. *pokes at Karu to toughen her back up*))

Teri flattened her eyes as Karu shouted at him in a different language. an then cut in after she finnished before he could slip in a word. "I knew you were a pervert, I'm just suprised that you're so upfront about it." She was almost formal with her words. "Cdibet lolmubc." She sneered scowling at him. "E fuimthd pa cibnecat ev oui fana dra cund du sumacd meddma lremtnah." Her pupils dialated to slits out of frustration.
