Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yunari glanced up when Hokuri began to move. She fallowed him just because she didn't know this part of town. And then she heard it. Her head snapped up at the sound of her name and she glanced around looking for it's owner. Her eyes landed on her friend and she smiled. She lifted her hand and waved pleasantly. She shifted her gaze to Hokyo and sighed knowing he'd been fighting somewhere. With a defeated sigh she shook it off and returned her attention to Kira.

Ray sighed softly and nodded her head. She glanced away "Her energy levels are rising off the charts. I'm beginning to assume she has someone else pulling the strings or some kind of power source. Just be careful when confronting her. I've been informed that she also has ... henchmen if you want to call them that."

Kira gave a wide smile in Yunari's direction, and placed one hand on her hip, and the other up to give a mock salute.

"Yunie-san! It's been a long time!" She said to her as she approuched. She reached out to her, and put her arms around her for a tight hug. "I've missed you so much! You don't look bad at all! How've you been?" She asked as she pulled away again and looked at her. She laughed softly before turning toward Hokyo and Hokuri. Her smile disappeared, and she blinked in confusion as she looked over at the younger of the two.

"Old...?" She asked as she let go of Yunari, and placed her hands on her hips. "Tch! The great Kira will never get old!" She said with a wide smile. It was true. Not only had she not aged, but her spirit was still young and energetic. "So, who exactly are you?" She asked as she crossed her hands over her chest.

Nahnee peeked out the door of the diner, but when she spotted all the people, it made her hesitant about following her friend out.

Yune smiled at the sight of her friend. The fact that Kira was so happy to see her made her want to jump for joy herself. She chuckled at this thought because she was a grown woman. Back when they met she had only been in her teens. She folded her arms as she thought about the past. It was much simpler then. Don’t’ get her wrong she loves her children but before them, before the fighting, everything made sense. She liked not fighting but in times like these she had to joint he fight. She glanced over at Hokyo, her eyes training on him. She moved over to her husband and pulled back her hand as if to slap him for fighting but instead she loped it around his neck and hugged the man. This was her family. Even when the others were spread around the world this was her family, everyone. But now they had to take out one of her precious family members. One of her own blood… this saddened her beyond reason but iit had to be done.

“We are all family” Ray said softly “It’s not just Hokyo’s family this is effecting. Because they are our family.” She stood and placed her hands on her hips “And I will sure as hell die before anyone hurts my friends and family. I don’t care if she is my niece… well sort of …” she smiled at herself. TI was a half smile and her hand fell behind her head in a nervous laugh “well I guess we have work to do then” she said changing the subject. She began to fiddle with her pockets looking for something that didn’t seem to be there. She frowned “now where did I put it?” she asked softly glad for the distraction.

Hokyo stood there and accepted Yune's hug though mistrust for a moment he suddenly understood why she had done it. His hands reached around her, he had forgot what it was like to feel no longer alone in a fight that he always thought he would be the one doing it all. His head went onto her shoulder and covered his face for a moment, while deep breaths were being taken to hold back his own tears, what a cruel reality to fight his own daughter. He only raised his head to give Hokuri a nod that was like a silent talk between them. He guessed it was always someone that must take the fall in these times and he always had hoped that it wasn't going to be this tough. Raising so that he was once more even with Yune, his forehead rested on hers and he said "Kira I want to thank you for being such a good friend" he seemed to have forgotten what it was like being crowded by people he really cared about, for the last couple of years he felt like a shadow on the world and left all his problems inside. He eyed Yune again and spoke so softly it seemed impossible for him to do such a thing, with such kindness and forgiveness "Blame me hon, It was my fault" his eyes left no room for her to question him and made it feel more like a journey for the family, but as long as Hokyo could take the last blame, it was his way.

Hokuri glanced at Kira and smiled and spoke only to answer her question "I'm Hokuri, Hokyo and Yune's son" he laughed at the way he phrased it, but it didn't matter. Looking at his parents he caught the eye of his father and saw the small nod, without another word he vanished from the scene, it was his time to attempt the impossible, he would never disobey Hokyo and it would have seemed he had planned this from the beginning, training each person to do their own task.

Kira smiled at Hokyo's words, and nodded her head. They had been together for far too long, even if not physically, that she knew his words were genuine. She chuckled under her breath, and shrugged her shoulders casually.

"Hey! Anytime, buddy!" She said in reply before her eyes turned toward Hokuri. After his answer, he left no time for anything else as he vanished into thin air. She blinked at the space he had been in for a moment, before sighing deeply. "Should have known that was coming. Just like his father; never gives warning before doing something like that..." She shook her head and smiled. Just then, she felt a prescence just by her, and she turned toward it to see who exactly it was. Once again, someone she'd never met before. But before her mouth had time to open, he had already told her who he was. She stared at him for a moment before she glanced over at Hokyo and Yunari.

"Wait a minute! I--" She stopped herself, and shook her head. "Nevermind... so, what exactly's going on? Where'd Hokuri go, and why's Amico here? And why do I not understand anything right now? Did something else happen that I'm not aware of?"

Diaco appeared behind the leader of the little evil gang becoming rather bored of waiting around his solid green eyes held no remorse as he said "So your Rikyo, what a strange desire for power you have" he still spoke in simple terms as if he never took the ability to social himself. Standing there he had heard the other mans yell and said "He is blood, no?" he then sniffed the air and smirked as he said "Hokyo's own blood hates him, no?" he seemed to always have to ask no at the end of his questions to see if he was right or not, though he wasn't really that small of a man he looked of great use.

Hokyo held Yune a little bit and then let go as she backed away and stood there listening to her tell Kira in the most basic knowledge. He forgot how much it hurt him to hear this and he even had to turn his gaze away from all of them. Then slowly he looked back at Amico and said "I'm glad you came aroun.." his words were cut short when Amico trusted himself forward in a hug from Hokyo. Standing there in shock, he was so sure he taught his boys to be tough and never show any kind of pain and yet Amico held him tight, then slowly he wrapped his hands around his first born son and looked at Yune and Kira and said "Kira I think we are going to need a headquarters where everyone can gather" he stood there and using Amico's power along with his sent out a beckon for all his friends to collect here.

Having already sent Yanus to search for Hokyo, it was no suprise when Bandi felt the summon for all of them to gather.
"Well that just made our job of finding him easier. I guess we really didn't need to send Yanus out, after all." He said to Izel cheerfully before seeing her expression, which dropped his spirits considerably.
"What's wrong?" He asked her with concern.

Next to Hokyo, a giant flower of flames erupted and as the bud blossomed, Yanus, Bandi's summon appeared, leaping it's way to Hokyo.
The giant tiger of flicking toungues of flames looked at Hokyo with those eyes that had no pupils. Once it had Hokyo's attention, spoke in a deep echoing voice, although his lips were not moving, and his throat let out a deep growl.
"Dear Hokyo Cumen. I come with news of my master, Bandi Darkwoods. He had made plans with his family to come to your aid, but he and his wife had been seperated by unknown attackers. They are currently safe and they're children are with Evan Darkwoods, who also plans to come. I shall stay with youin order for my master to better track our positions."
