Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Excuse me. I have to do something, I'm sorry." Raleigh lowered her head as something came across her, an unusaul image. Within the next momment her cheeks flared as she ran up the stairs only reaching the second floor. She looked down the stairs, then out the window noticing the night's blanket comming over Orion. She continued up the stairs, reaching her room as she began to fix somethings, before deciding to change into a swimsuit to go to the springs.

(( Ok. Leaving. Be right back. ))

He blinked once in confusion as she got off and took off for the stairs. It wasn''t until then that he remembered the sushi. He had eaten more than he remembered, and with a wave of his right arm, the rest was gone, leaving the counter top bare. He decided he would reflect on his fond memories of her, particularly of the two nights he slept in her room. These memories however drew him further back to the night in the lounge. He had particularly wanted to be with her that night and it seemed she welcomed the company. How much did she actually want him to stay he wondered. It seemed she welcomed him rather openly, but he wasn''t sure then if she longed for him or not. He would wait for her and let these memories tickle him as they would.

((Rawr, okay Keno!))

Hearing someone speak to her, she glanced over at the familiar face. A smile appeared on her own features, as she nodded her greeting. "Hello User. It's nice to see you again." As she said this, she was walking over to the bar, setting her son on the counter in front of her. He was too busy staring at the man who had greeted his mother to really notice what she was doing.

She patted Kaito's head as he looked at the man, before seating herself at one of the stools.

Miyuki began to laugh as Kaito crossed his arms stubbornly. "I am not a squirt!" he cried out, burying his head in his mother's chest. She began to pat his back lightly, before turning to User and explaining exactly who he was. "I'm not babysitting, User. This is my son from a previous relationship. His name is Kaito," she said in a calm tone, hoping that he wouldn't immediately judge her for having a child at such a young age.

Kaito glanced over at the man, sticking out his tongue before burying his head back into his mother's chest. "I'm not a squirt, am I, mommy?" he asked in a somewhat quivering voice. She just shook her head and kissed one of his kitsune ears. "No Kaito, you are not a squirt at all."

User smiled and walked over to the kid, "Being small has its advantages, kid. I'm pretty short myself too. It lets me be faster and smller target to hit."
The Saiya-jin took a seat next to the kid, "My name is User." User looked up at Miyuki with a confused look on his face, "And I did not realize you were a mother. You all continue to suprise me."

She nodded, smiling at him serenely. "It's alright. He was born way back in November. But because of his kitsune heritage, his mind has developed faster. Just... Not his body..." She said with a grimace, knowing that Kaito would howl at this comment. He just looked up at his mother and scooted away from her from his spot on the bartop.

"Mommy, you said I wasn't a squirt!" he cried out loudly, tears forming in his eyes. Sensing trouble, she quickly wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer. "Darling, you aren't a squirt! Do you realize what an advantage you have when we play hide and seek? When you hide, I'll never find you! But if I hide, it'll be easy to spot me, won't it? I can't hide anywhere without my butt or tail sticking out, can I?"

Miyuki knew a comment about herself like that would raise his spirits, and as she heard his laughter, she knew she was right. He looked up at her and grinned, before looking over at User. "You're not short, mister. Which means I could beat you at hide and seek!" He puffed out his chest at this statement, quite proud at this new information.

She smiled at User and nodded her understanding. "It's like that for every parent. They feel that they have to protect their child from anything bad in the world that might get to them. I know that if anything happened to Kaito, my world would end..." she said in a solemn voice. Kaito, seeing his mother getting upset, quickly hugged her around the neck. "Nothing will happen to me! If someone bad comes for me, I'll hide!"

All Miyuki could do was laugh at him, scratching behind one of his kitsune ears. She always thought that somewhere up her family tree, there was a neko somewhere, because as she did this, he began to purr like a kitten. She just shook her head again, glancing over at User once more. "This is one of the few times I have brought Kaito with me. But I needed to spend some time with my son."

"I spend much time training and relaxing with Sabrina," User said to Miyuki, "She makes me very pround. Such talent for being so young."
User gave a proud smile, "She is a great girl." But User suddenly became very solemn himself, reflecting on his thoughts, "I would never let anything happen to her. So long as I have life in my body, I will defend her."
