Welcome to Gaia! ::

Colette was busy bustling about the house, all she remembered is that she played knights dragons with this kid and her other friends, and that she had invited him over to get to know him better.
She'd seen him get mad at Akito afte rher brother got hurt, but she wasn't all too sure where he had come from. It was as if a peice was missing.

Oh well... that happend to her alot, so she didn't think anything of it. And right now she was busy cleaning up like Arafel had told her to.


Yuki sat near the door, waiting to speak with kyou before he ran off and made it so he had to erase Colette's mind again.
Colette was the easy one... Erasing Ash's was still looming over his head. And right now Hatori was out, so it'd have to wait. Kyou was lucky Colette still had a few memories of him...

Yuki shifted uncomfortably as he watched the neko walk into the room. The rat knew how much this hurt... and now he was the one doing it. Hatori had never done it on purpous... AKito had told him.
This made him no better than Akito did it...?
He quickly shook that thought from his head. This was to protect Colette and Ash FROM akito.

It seemed like an eternity before the boy finally spoke (though it was probably a few seconds) "I told.. Hatori." he stated simply, nearly choking on the words as he stared blankly at the boy infront of him. He had been taught not to show emotion.
"Colette doesn't remember... either of your forms. Atleast she still remembers you... Don't show her again." the latter was laced with a mild threat, meaning if he did... then she wouldn't remember anything about him.

Yuki stared as the boy went off. Flinching a bit and just letting his eyes close to hide his real emotions. To stay blank... To close the lid.
He waited a second after he finished, eyes opening to stare at him coldly. How could he possibly be so selfish?! He saw what happend! What happend to Ash, what could have happend to Colette....

The thought of Akito setting his sights on those two scared him more than Akito himself.

"We can hide it, and we will. No matter what. Even if we have to be completely alone..."

The boys eyes narrowed. What did he think? Did he think Yuki LIKED being alone? No.. he thought yuki WASN'T alone. His fists clenched as suddenlly rage boiled up inside him. Everything about thisidiot made him want to vomit.

"B...Baka neko..." he muttered coldly, in a swift movement his fist had collided with Kyou's face, knocking him to the ground. The pale haired rat didn't recover from it as fast as he thought it would, giving a light weeze to the sudden action before standing straight, ignoring his now throbbing knuckles. There was much worse.

Kyou had more than he knew... Only a true IDIOT could go on not realizing what he did have and envying others... "You'll allways be alone, You'll never realize when you arn't.. and therefore.. you allways will be." The nezumi spat at him, trembling slightly from the range of emotions mixed with his oncoming attack.

By this time Arafel had heard raised voices and came in just int time to find Yuki punch kyou to the ground. Her jaw nearly hit the floor.. Yuki had never been aggresive... not EVER. "Yuki!!" she shouted out, astonished as she rushed over to the two.

"You think i don't know that?" His teeth clenched, as his head snapped to Arafel. Looking at her a bit guiltily, but it was mostly masked by his anger.

Arafel blinked, looking from one to the other. She knew the Sohmas had a .. touchy past. But this.. "Kyou..." She looked over his cheek worridly.. but something told her that wasn't what he was upset about.
She carefully put her arm on each boys shoulder, "Yuki.. Go to your room. I'll be up in a moment to talk with you."

Yuki blinked, nodding and slipping away to trod up to his room, guilt settling in the pit of his stomach at what he had done. A new feeling of nausiousness for himself came as the anger faded away.

Arafel watched him go before smiling warmly to the cat. "You okay..?" Yuki would be after... Afterall, he was apparenly in the wrong here.

Arafel smile grew when he returned hers, sitting herself down to pull him into her lap. Mindful of the fact any hug-like contact would poof him. And the fact her stomach was ..larger than normal. (preggy belly could poof him. XD)

She gave a thoughtful look to the ceiling, before looking back to him. "Because.. People get scared of those who are different." she let a hand ruffle the oarnge hair "And... Some of those people... Misunderstand things. And take out their hate for the different on those who like the different." She frowned a bit, hoping that had made sense.

"When I was little me and my brother were cast out of our village, because we were different. After we lived on our own for quite awhile... One day, a family came along and said they would adopt my brother into their family. But... Not me. And because of me he never went. Because he refused they hurt him..." she smiled dispite the story. "I still feel bad." She paused a moment, eyes looking a bit sad.

"I think... Yuki doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of your differences." a nod was given to the statement as she thought somethign over. "But... What he doesn't realize, is that my brother was much happier staying with me... even though he was hurt." She looked to the boy, reading over his expression before saying anything more.

She smiled at him... Almost in a proud way. She petted his hair a moment, before shrugging. "Well... What if she was hurt? Do you think you could help her or protect her?" she questioned curiously, her questions moreso tryign to lead him to his own answere.

She smiled, nodding "Its good to know your limits...Thats the first step to being strong. So... If you want my opinion.. I think you can do anythign you set your mind to." she nodded firmly, carefull moving him off her lap and pushing herself to a stand.
