Joy felt a warm pressence behind her,for a single momment she hoped it was Ella,but it wasn't. Turning her head she looked up at Dante with dull dead eyes,as if the light and sparkle in them had been put out. Her mouth hung,as if trying to take in why he was standing infront of her.
Remember..smile. Joy then smiled warmly,that famouse adorable smile that could make you shiver and squeel. That smile which Joy had practiced for hours till she got the effect she wanted. The smile which made you feel like you were falling in love with Joy. Joy attempted to wag her yellow cat tail,as her ears perked up.
Joys eyes went over the man who had jumped in and saved her from an attack that would of surely killed her if she didn't put any resistance.She was indebted to him for that,though fo course the only way to repay him was to put him in a life or death sitation,and save him herself. Though of course Joy wasn't the most relaible person when it came to paying people back.
Joy had forgotten to thank him,since she was busy playing with her new favorite toy,Kurai,making up plans for future games,and pampering and entertaining Ella. Then she remembered a picture she had drawn a just a few hours ago,she wondered if it was still in her pocket. Rummaging through it she pulled out a white piece of paper.
Looking up at him Joy showed it to him with a big smile on her face. On it,drawn in crayons,was Dante looking triumph as he waved a sword about. A bright yellow light coming off him as if he was some angel or something. Written in green crayon was a scribble that said "Joys hero!!Yay!!" A little giggle came from her cotton candy lips,as the wind blew her long green tresses to frame her adorable smiling face. "Lookie Lookie!!"

Dante smiled weakly as he saw the drawing, remembering the events of that day like it had been just hours before hand. it had been his mission to protect this girl....this child-like prodigy. Yet she would never know. He was meant to be her guardian, yet would never step from shadows. he was meant to be her friend....yet could never forgive his own sins. Dante stared into the picture for a moment, sighing as he reached out and took it. He smiled weakly, trying to mask the fact he had so much to say, and the fact he could tell something with her was off. She smiled too damn much for things to always be so perfect. "Thanks...Joy." Dante took it from her grip, his finger sliding slowly across hers as he tucked the picture into his breast pocket, turning slightly as he watched the sunset, taking off his glasses carefully. "Joy... What's wrong...?" Dante turned, his eyes finally seeing her for the first time ever without something to stop him. By the gods.... she's.... beautiful... He thought to himself as the gorgeous sapphire of his eyes watched her, seeing for sure that something WAS wrong.  Something about his eyes made him seem a bit more... gentle. Even though three dots encircled a cat-like pupil, The eyes seemed to fit him perfectly...something very few people saw from him and lived to remember...

Dante listened intently to what Joy had to say, cocking his eyebrow as she stopped her first statement. Suddenly, she was on him, her arms wrapped around him as ivroy flash in his hands, his speed unreal as he took aim into her gut from almost point-blank range...then stopped himself from firing as he felt her silently cry against him. So shes not attacking...good... He thought as he slid the gun back into place under the back of his coat. He wrapped an arm around her, sighing slowly as she cried. He made soft noises of care, something he NEVER did, as he listened to her sobs, each breath telling a story to him her lips never would. he last statement sent him into a slight state of shock. ....Made? MADE for Ella? What did that mean? He didn't know, but it bothered him inside. She suddenly backed away, his arm falling limp against his muscular body as he looked up at her, her tear-stained eyes staring at him before looking away with an appology. He lowered his gaze,growling to himself. She didn't deserve this: She didn't deserve to be treated like people treated him. He turned her face with his still-up hand, forcing her to look into his eyes as he spoke. "If you give someone too much of something...they get used to it, like a toy...or favorite movie...and soon replace it, if even for a short time. Sometimes with something else...other times with nothing at all....Im sure Ella didn';t leave you for good...who would leave someone as great as you?" he tried SO hard to smile, but couldn't. He didn't know why...but his lips wouldn't grin the slightest. He spoke again, this tone more serious as he did. :And dont appologize to me...not ever. I promise if i can..I'll always help you Joy..." he let her face go, walking past her to stand on the very edge of the cliff, overlooking the now almost fully-set sun as dusk approached like a familiar welcoming comittee. "Never regret...something that used to make you happy..." The last words fell almost silently from his lips as he watched the sun dissapear.

Joy held herself,her tears all gone now. She really was like a child,down one second, and up the other. She smiled softly,as soft as the sun that was now gone,she was more used to insults and not compliments. She wished Ella was a bit more like Dante. But Joy still loved Ella either way.
Walking over to him,Joy sat down beside him,leaning softly against his leg,as to look down into the deep abyss of darkness. It seemed like an ocean of ink,as Joy swung her legs back and forth again. She giggled,covering her mouth as to hide her sharp teeth.
"Joy still finds it fun though,even without Ella here. Playing games..dancing. Kuri-chan is a fun toy..but Dante-chan..are you okay with being another one Joys toy in her games,your scared of Joy ne??" Looking up at him innocently as if she said the most normal thing possible,she titled her head and smiled again.

Yrael looked up at a tree, before leaping up to sit in one of its branches. He held both his jacket and his violin case in his right hand, as he settled into his spot.
He pulled out his instrument. He'd just gotten it fixed, after the E string had broken. He set the violin on his shoulder and steadied his bow for a moment, then began playing a soft tune...

Gordon stood still on the cliff looking up into the sky with his eyes closed. The blew across the eeriely quite landscape. It was almost like he was in a trance. As if he had no knowledge of the world around him or the wind blowing across his face. he suddenly opened his eyes and peered across the cliff.
As much as he tried he could not transform again. A apart of him was glad another was mad of all the power lost. He realized something though. That every time he transformed it was from a need not a desire. But then how was it said once a chaos vampire reached it demon like form he would be able to transform at will. Why couldn't he? But he dismissed it. He had no real need for that kind of power. What is power if you can only hurt with it?
He sighed as he felt the wind blow across his face again. So much has happened since so early in his life. So many friends gained and lost. So many battles fought and so many won or lost. But was this all to his life? Just fighting? There had to be more. He couldn't just fight forever. He wasen't like that. But as long as he was here there would be many more fights against the darkness that seeked to consume this world or destory him. And no matter what though he be there to stop it.
He defended the weak and fought the unjust. This world was like a second home to him. And he defend it all the same.

Ayise stood on the edge of the Ciffs leaning on the railing, the blanket was set up behind her with a rather heavy looking picnic basket resting on it. There were delicate blue china cups and plates spread out over the checkered blanket. It was a pretty picture that seemed to be just waiting to be finished with a cute couple.
"Couple...?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Her mind had burned out at the thought, "Really it's not like that..."
She wore a white sundress and sandals with an over-sized white sun hat. "I wonder...what it's like to be a cloud." She daydreamed as she waited for Kumizu to show. She hummed as she dozed off.

Kumizu ran up to Ayise, as best he could with the cane. His hair was wet but the rest of his body was dry, and he seemed in a very good mood. "Hi." He stopped "running" once he saw her clearly. "You... look nice today. And you seem in a better mood." He looked down and noticed the size of the picnic basket, and the quality of the plates, cups, etc. Wow. She really went out of her way for this... Kumizu wasn't sure what to make of it all yet.

"Oh? Good afternoon, Kumi-chan." She turned around and beamed at him, snapping out of her daydreaming. "Why thank you." She took of her hat and tucked it under the blanket where it wouldn't blow away, "Are you ready to eat?" She asked tilting her head at him,
She took off her shoes, kneeled down and began digging through the basket, sandwiches, pie, cake, fruit punch, fruit, and various foods came pouring out. It was un-natural there was no way they could eat that much...there was no way ten people could eat that much. "I wasn't sure what you liked so..." She sweatdropped and laughed. Her cheeks were already tinged with pink, but at least she wasn't jittery. "..."

He smiled. He'd discovered the beach and had just come from a swim there, so he felt... alive, is the best word I can think of. He was about to sit when he noticed Ayise take off her shoes, and he politely followed suit.
Kumizu looked at all the food in disbelief. How could it all fit in there? "I'm not picky, just so you know. So the next time you don't have to lug all this extra weight." He noticed she was starting to blush, but ignored it for now. Instead, he started filling up his plate with sandwiches, fruits, pie...

"Ayise is stronger than she looks, so it was no problem." She said choosing a bunch of grapes out of all the food munching on them lightly, her feet were tucked under legs as she spaced, "Hey Kumi-chan, what kind of things do you like to do, besides swimming?" She asked tucking her hair behind her ear. She was adverting her eyes, looking off into space when she talked to him.

Kumizu took another bite out of the sandwich in his hand and swallowed before answering. "Well, I try to train, body and mind kind of thing, to keep myself fit... but that's not much of a recreation, is it?" He laughed, but she had brought up a good point...
He ran a list of things through his mind. "Well, I'm not a big sports person, but I like to play basketball... I like video games... but mostly, I'm... rushed. I enjoy just being able to relax. Get outside, watch the birds or squirrels or whatever's moving, just lay back with..." His voice trailed off as he realized where this was going. He bit into the sandwich and turned away from Ayise.

"With...?" She inquired moving so she could look into his face, "Don't stop talking now, we were making progress." She said in a sing song voice.
"I like to train...except I've never been good with mornings, or sweat, or any kind of thing that exhausts me; I tried meditation but I couldn't stay still for more than four minutes; my legs went numb and I got bored too. I know my sister does more than five hours a day but she's just plain weird..."
She laughed, "I never pegged you as the type to play any kind of team sport, so I take it you play basketball one on one?" She realized she was giving him an out, "-Wait, Kumi-chan, you do know you can't hide behind food, right?"

"Well, usually it's with a friend." He smiled to cover the lie. "And yes, I like to play one-on-one as opposed to a whole team. And I'm not good at meditation either, don't worry. My sister... well... she couldn't do meditation either. Or relax in any way. She's competitive and... rowdy, is a good word."
Kumizu finished one sandwich, and ignoring how hypocritical it sounded, said, "I'm not hiding behind food. What do I have to hide?"
