Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Wait, Syori's lost?!" Loda was surprised, he thought she was probably below deck or up in the bird's nest. He turned and ran below deck, starting his search for her there.


Arc watched as Syori drew the characteristics of her friends, acting like he never hugged and complimented the girl. "So these are your friends, I'm surprised you are a crew of three?"

Desert had the ship on the other side of the island and had already placed the anchor down. "Hmmmm I guess we can split up. Nina you come with me, sense captain doesn't really like animals." He put Nina on his shoulder and started to walk into the forest. "Hmmm feels kind of funny, I am more used to bamboo trees." He went to a tall palm tree and touched it. Suddenly it fell down with a clean cut. "These are much harder to cut, oh well not like that is going to serve a problem anytime soon." He smiled as he grabbed a coconut. "I heard you can drink these things if you cut into it." He got out a knife and cut the top off. He looked at the milk and sipped some of it. His eyes went wide and he suddenly yelled out in joy. "WHAT A GREAT TASTE!!!"

He had drank 50 more coconuts dry and walked on. "Man, from now on, coconut milk is my favorite thing to drink. It is much better then tea, oh wait I ahve a idea. What about coconut tea. Hahahaha!!" While walking he was being followed by a group of wild animals. "geez, I don't want to deal with this, you guys can deal with Monji" Out of his sleeve came a large gorilla in armor. "Have fun, I have a damsel in distress it save." The gorilla nodded an charged causing a massive destructive wave.

Sarifa was relieved when the report that their ship was in full repair. That meant they could set sail again soon. She already had what she wanted and the trade was done. They had new cargo to return to England and it was time they headed home. Feeling good with it being in a new rosy pink dress. It's sleeves short and skirt to her ankles, shows were flats. Silently, she walked back to the dock, her long wavy golden hair kept out of her big, innocent blue eyes by a black hair ribbon. With a smile curving her lips, Miss Ari looked at her co-captain then back at the soon appearing Indian dock.

Mr. Ari was still sharp for it being the next day. He watched his daughter walk ahead. He thought she was doing fairly well for just being nineteen and a merchant with one of the fastest merchant ships, next to the Navy's. It was just saddening to him as a father that she hadn't found a nice gentleman to wed. But then again, she chose the sea over staying home every time. He had to try and catch up to her when she was going up on the ship. "Slow down. You'll end up tripping in the water," He said beside her.

Sarifa merely laughed softly. "I have yet to trip," She replied and went to check on the cargo. Once satisfied with their load, she went and checked with the crew mates. Half an hour later, they set sail once more. Heading onto the open waters and heading for England. It was good to be out in the open but they also had to be careful again. With a sigh, she went into the Captain's cabin to put the book she bought in India away in the desk before going back out and to the forecastle deck to see ahead of them.

Nina meowed when Dessert picked her up. she sat contently on the males sholder untill she cought the scent of syori in the air. The small balck cat took off at incredible speed to find her owner. Bounding through the forest with out so much as a single glance over her sholder, the male would not be able to keep up with her as she moved through obsticals like they were not even there. She spied the blue haired fighter and meowed. There she was standing tall her fists clenched, she was slightly scared yet extremly angery. The small cat bounded out through the woods calling to her mistress. Syori looked up and spied the black Cat and smiled happily “Nina.” She said almost shocked as the cat lept and landed on her sholder with grace. Syri let her hand go to the cat putting her face against hers.

Syori felt rage fall over her. “less than three days and I called them friends.” She muttered clenching her firsts so tightly blood dripped from her plam. SHe promised she would not escape, and she would not kill her self. She tryed to keep her self from taking a swing at arc. She tossed the sitck at her friends faces and messed up her drawing. A single tear slid down her face. Her head shot up when she heard Nina’s soft cry.

"Nina you found me." Syori said as she took the cat off her sholder, an extreamly happy smile on her face as Nina jumped off of her sholder she started to move away. "I'm sorry Nina, I promised him I wouldn't try to run away, even though I can lose him in the forest." She said to the cat as she knelt down. "I gave him my word." She said softly Nina meowed and walked back over hissing at Arc and flicking her tail. Syori laughed "She's not happy that I would give my word to you." She said as she gentaly stroked Nina's soft black fur. the cat currled up in her arms. Syori's eyes were full of joy and happiness as she held the cat.

Syori looked at Loda than shook her head, she belived she was imagining him. It happened when you missed some one. "OK." Syori said as she took his hand Nina hissed and she looked at the Cat. "Can she come too? I promis to keep her out of trubble." She said softly as she looked at nina. The cat was her only friend for years, and was once again her only friend, though she didn't mind Arc that much.
