Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ah but you raise up to face the challenges before you. That is what turns people into noble warriors. I'm sure when you get older you will be a force to reckon with. I can sense it, your soul is strong and your will power is even stronger. You will be able to overcome any obsticle that comes your way. Just be sure to never loose faith in what you can accomplish on your own okay?" Luna smiled again and gently shook the small girls hand.

Turning her head over to Vamp she noticed the look on his face. Standing up she stepped up beside him and looked out the window as well. "An omen?"

"..oh..." Kisa said quietly, looking down at Kurri. She wasn't sure what to say to that, and soon found herself thinking as well. She wasn't sure why she was always alone. Maybe people were annoyed by her? Was she doing something bad without realizing it? She glanced at Kohaku for a moment, and opened her mouth to speak. "I think tha-" she began, cutting off at the lightning bolt.

The lights shut off and she jumped in alarm, tense at first under Kohaku's touch, until she realized that it was just him and not something else. She looked towards him, her canine eyes occassionally relfecting what little light there was, and glowing gold in the dark. "I-I'm here," she whispered, hugging Kurri to herself so he wouldn't be startled. She knew that he, like herself, had heard the roar from the distance.

She jumped though, as she heard a scream. "Ayame?" she asked, sniffing the air lightly, and then turning her head in the girl's direction. She could tell Daisuke was with her though, so she didn't jump up from her chair. She'd probably just end up tripping over something in her haste, even if she could see somewhat.

Kisa looked around, trying to see through the darkness but only able to make out faint outlines of the things nearest her. Needless to say, she couldn't see Daisuke and Ayame. When she heard Daisuke call towards him, but then trail off, her eyes widened slightly. Ayame what? Was she hurt?! She sniffed the air silently, but didn't smell any blood... "We're over here!" she replied a little awkwardly as she stood.

But she saw a momement in the dark, and stared at it, also hearing a small murmur. A moment later, a candle had been lit, and she was gazing at Kohaku in surprise. But she looked back to Daisuke again, hugging Kurri a little closer to herself, as she watched Daisuke helping Ayame along. She felt really horrible and selfish, but again she got that feeling of loneliness, despite her being surrounded by people currently.

"...everyone alright?" she asked softly.

Kisa hesitated, but slowly nodded her head. "Ok.." Besides, she wasn't sure if she could heal illnessed anyway. She'd never really tried. She stepped back lightly, her eyes shifting next to Kohaku. Again she looked surprised, eyes slightly wide as she watched him leaving. She suddenly felt even worse, like it was her fault he'd left. It probably was her fault... She bit her lip, hugging Kurri a little tighter to herself.

And then she looked towards Daisuke, just staring for a moment with an almost pained expression, her eyes blue and her ears drooping. "I don't..." she began faintly, paused, and started over. How could she explain. "I feel like something's missing," she whimpered. "And I don't understand why." She looked back towards the door, took a step in that direction, and then stopped again. What should she do? If it was her fault he'd left, then Kohaku wouldn't want to see her again! But maybe he was lonely? She winced slightly, confused.

Kisa hesitated, taking another couple steps towards the door at Daisuke's nudge. But she stopped, peering over her shoulder at him. Kurri was stolen away, and her arms fell limp by her sides, gripping randomly at the edges of her pants. She met Daisuke's eyes, then Kurri's, and very hesitantly nodded her head, before trudging her way to the door. She wasn't sure what she was doing, and he might already be long gone, but she still needed to at least check. The rain would cover up his scent and make tracking hard...

But it seemed she didn't have to worry about that. As soon as she stuck her head out through the door, she noticed Kohaku sitting on a bench outside, in the rain. Another small pause on her part, and she silently walked over to him, sitting beside him as she stared at the ground, hands clasped nervously in her lap. "...are you ok?" she asked quietly, not looking at him. Her eyes were still very blue. Even if he didn't understand what that mean, she was still aware of it and felt guiltly. She seemed to be making everyone sad recently..

Kurri watched her go, and then let out a rather heavy sigh. "I don't understand some people," he admitted, glancing up at Daisuke. "If she's lonely, why's she so reluctant to follow him?" He wrinkled his nose lightly, trying to figure things out but not having much luck. "So confusing.."

Kohaku removed his hand from his eyes, for that was where it was for a few seconds, and he looked at the blue-eyed Kisa. "Kisa-san?" He asked, examining her eyes. She seemed... unbearably sad. It made Kohaku feel... guilty. "I... I'm okay. Really, I am." Kohaku said truthfully. He blinked, his eyebrows curving, signaling his sadness when he saw Kisa's blue eyes. "I didn't walk out because of you." He promised her, giving her a reassuring grin, even if he was gloomy. "It's just... I'm really jealous of what Ayame-chan and Daisuke-san have. Mabey it's because... I don't have it. Love... it makes me miss my parents... they died when I was thirteen... soo.." Kohaku explained nervously.

"I don't know..." Daisuke told Kurri. "Do you think... that she blames herself for Kohaku leaving the building? I think thats what she's doing... Kurri." His sapphire eyes glanced down at Kurri, and he added jokingly, "You don't understand because you're a kitten." Of course, it was obviously a joke.

Kohaku then turned to Kisa, and he shakily put his arms around her so that he was hugging her tightly. He felt a tear, or mabey it was rain water, roll down his face. "I'm so lonely, Kisa-san. I..." He sighed. His voice was very shakey, and it was bugging him a bit. "I'm sorry Kisa. I'm sorry I made you sad and feel guilty! It's not your fault!"

Kohaku blinked, now sure that he felt tears and not rain fall down his cheeks. His eyes burned, and he wiped them quickly. He was shocked when Kisa returned his hug, and this made him feel... ecstatic. He just felt so wonderful to be held by someone... anyone. But... it's different being hugged by someone you don't know... and being hugged by someone who knows you. If it's a stranger, you don't know what to make of it. You wouldn't be able to tell whether it was a good or bad thing. When it was someone you knew, it felt comforting... and welcome... and warm.

"Please..?" He echoed, not quite sure what she was trying to say. He could almost feel that she was about to cry. He hugged her just a little tighter, but not so it was uncomfortable. "It's... okay to cry... when your happy or... sad." Kohaku muttered to Kisa. Hos once lively blue eyes were dulled and he looked almost... ill. He wasn't sick... just.. this was how Kohaku was when he wasn't happy. When he was far past the point of being merely 'depressed'.

Daisuke smiled, hearing faintly what was happening. He sat back down at the table, only laughing at Kurri pawing at his hand. "I can believe she blames herself... Women... seem to do that a lot. Ayame does it... and my sister did... my mom did..." Daisuke listed from the girls he knew. "Do you ever wish you could communicate with Kisa better? I bet we could find a way if we looked." Daisuke asked the kitten.
