Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gambler raised a brow. "First you all call him an idiot and stupid and all these names. You say he's a waste and worthless and everything that goes with it and now you really think he has any strength to fight this hellhole?" She shook her head, letting the door open all the way. "That puts you and everyone like hypocritcs. Then again I'm here to judge you or any of your friends. I'm here to do one thing and one thing only......"


Kyoshi heard the voices again and decided it wasn't in his head. He got out of his closet (and not in the way you might be thinking either), his eyes all red from sleep and crying and slightly puffy. He marched out of the room and saw Gambler's figure at the door. He went closer to tell her to be quiet but he stopped and stared at Dusk with open mouth shocked. A wave of emotion came over him. He was breathing in like he had a seizure, glaring at Dusk. "Yo-You.....Get out of here!!! I never want to see you again!!! You hear me!?" He snarled and went at Dusk.

Gambler stepped out of the way and walked to the Sofa, sheathing her sword.

Kyoshi snarled curses at Dusk but found himself holding her tightly. He was stupid. She was stupid. They both were stupid. He was telling her to go away but he brought her into the apartment and closed the door, locking it with his mind. He pulled Dusk from his arms and shook her slightly. "I never want to see you again! I hate you so much that you drive me insane! I can't stand to sight of you because....because...." He hugged her again. He was a mess and he needed to let it be known that he was. "I can't believe you would come here! Damn it you stubborn woman what the hell were you thinking?! I know you hate me and don't care so just go the hell away from me....please..."

Inwardly he was screaming the opposite things. He didn't want her to go. He wanted her to stay and make him mad over stupid things and to watch t.v. with him or go to the clubs or he could cook for her like he did before. He loved her and he would never stop loving her even if he did hate her and she hated him too. That wouldn't stop him from it.

"Damn you Dusk!!!" He shook her again. He fell to his knees before and held her close, tears were coming down. "Damn it Dusk!!! You didn't even let me go back and fight to get you!!" He was going to go back to Area 6 and fight for her. He would have to kill Gambler to get Dusk back even if it meant dying too. He wouldn't, couldn't, shouldn't let things be like this. He wanted to tell everyone to shove it and fight for Dusk. Kyoshi held her closely going speechless. "Please tell me your real and that your not something of my madness....Please tell me that your real right now?" He whispered softly.

Gambler left as soon as Kyoshi brought Dusk in. She flew back to Area 6 as fast as she could and landed short of entering and was in a field of grass. It was real grass that was planted there a few years ago and it was the only grass other than Ellwood that was pure, all-natural grass. She was so tired that her vision was blurred. "This seriously sucks. Those two owe me big for this." She fell to her knees and looked up at the sky. "If some damn weirdo walks out here and freaking molests me, I'm going to murder every last one of them until the memory fades. You know how good my memory is too." Exhaustion came over her and she knocked out, holding the hilt of the katana tightly.

(Awwwww *hugs* Don't feel bad, here *hands a gold medal for beating the clock for school* You did a good job. ^.^ And I'm glad you like my book.....Kyoshi did half of it. Kyoshi: *sticks tongue out* *hugs Kyoshi*)

That bitter part of Kyoshi wanted her to be a figment of his imagination. That bitter part of him slapped Kyoshi in the face to see what he was doing. His eyes went wide. Kyoshi stood up looking at Dusk, the stony, cold mask from before back in place. "Get out. I don't want you here or anywhere near me." He said coldly. His hands were shaking. That non-bitter part of him wanted to pull her in his arms again and squeeze her with a bear hug but that bitterness was there. He could taste the bitterness inside him and it tasted like acid. He was a wreck that he didn't know what he wanted or needed.

This was not something he had expected. He had to leave this place and go somewhere far, far away where no one can find him. Kyoshi couldn't be here. Not now and not with Dusk so close. He turned his face to look away. "Leave me be....I don't want you here....." 'To see me like this...' His mind finished for him.

Gambler started to mumble in her sleep, saying things in her divine language and then in spanish. She snuggled closer to the warmth and raised her hand to cover her face. "Ninja!" She shouted.

Gambler turned and hugged a pillow. Then she threw it across the room. "Ninja!" She was having a dream where she was being chased down by a band of ninjas with....fish as weapons. It was an odd dream but then again she hasn't slept like that in forever.

Kyoshi looked at her with irritation. "Your hurt? Your hurt? Have you ever thought about how I'm hurt?" He counted to ten, then to twenty and then to thirty before he spoke again. "You know what I want to do? I want to shake you senseless for everything that has happened. But you know what, I'm not going to do that. No. I won't." He took a few steps back. His stone mask cracked and gave way, letting all the emotions he was feeling inside show. It was everything you can imagine wrapped together, fighting each other. He looked at the ground to not let her see the tears building up at the rim of his eyes. "You...." He was drowning in his pain now. He couldn't form words and he really didn't know what he wanted because it hurt to think about it and it was painful to feel it.

On the outside, Kyoshi seemed to be this strong, unstoppable being. Inside he was strong but the real inside part of him was vulnerable. "I would have let you go. Even if knowing that you wouldn't come back, I would have." But then he would have kicked himself in the a** and went after her. "But you never trusted me enough to tell me anything. You kept things from me. How the hell would you want me to act? Like it was okay, nothing to worry about? You....you..." He took a few steps back. Tears where falling on the ground. He wanted to say something but he didn't know what it was because his mind was reeling and everything seemed be coming and going fast.

Gambler shifted on the couch. She shifted again and threw the pillow up at the ceiling and it fell hitting her on the face. "Ninja fish!" She shouted into the pillow.

Gambler stayed quiet it for abit then she moved to face the sofa, the pillow dropping to the other side. Then she turned and furrowed her brows. Instead of being chased by ninjas she was being chased by clowns, scary looking clowns with plant eating things. "Killer clown!" She covered her face and curled up into a ball. A clown had changed his weapon back to the fish and slapped her with it. "Clown fish!"

Kyoshi looked up at her. "It doesn't matter if we spoke about our families. If you had a problem you should have told me and I would have helped you in any way I could, even if it meant giving you up." That was stupid that she didn't tell him. He had no family, other than Gambler.

Gambler felt something moving her. In her mind it was an earthquake but in reality it was Rave gently shaking her. She furrowed her brows and held on to the seat cushion and watched the killer clowns, clown fish and ninjas fishes be swallowed up by the hole in the ground made by the earthquake. Everything turned into mist and she was slowly being woken up. She heard a Miss Gambler from somewhere and clicked her tongue. "It's Gambler." Who ever the weirdo was that knew her name and that was shaking her was going to get punched. Did she think it was Rave? No. Why? Because to her Rave came off as the type of guy that just minded his own business unless it involved him.

"What now?" He looked at her with narrowed eyes. "You can go. Your free." He walked away and entered his room, slamming the door such and went back into the dark closet and slam that door too. There was nothing left to do. He was going to stay in there and just.....deal with it. Would he stop loving should she leave now? No. He couldn't but what was there left for him? Nothing. To him, nothing could be the same.

The shaking stopped and she fell back into slumber. She stretched like a cat and then layed on her back. Her wings that she flew with spread out of her back, showing it's great wing span and stretching, she groaned softly at the muscle knots that had formed and safely tucked them away. "Fish sticks."

Kyoshi wrapped himself in the filthy blanket he had before and layed down on the ground. With his ear to the floor he heard the sound of movement coming from the apartment. The feet were shuffling here and there. It was doing something and if it was robbers because he already thought Dusk left, they were going to wish they never entered that apartment building in general. Then he thought. 'That stupid human let her in to my floor. I'm going to kill him.' That would be the first order of business but most likely something he would do in the next few years of solitude.

The feet kept shuffling again and he lost his temper and got up, again, to see what the hell was going on. He opened his bedroom door with a slam and looked at Dusk with a glare. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" He asked with his hands on his hips looking at her insanely.
