Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haruko looked up at Faye as she handed her the teddy bear. She squeezed it tightly and sighed. She wanted to be happy again, but she couldn't, knowing her first friend in the school was in the hospital. She was sad. She needed more than this teddy bear, which she had dubbed 'George'. She hugged George tightly again and looked down at her pocket. She had heard a squeak.

Tama! Her eyes widened and she reached into her pocket. Tama had awakened. She had a weak smile on her face as she pulled Tama into her hand. He curled up into a ball and looked back at her. She could feel his heart beating. She had posted a message on the mission board on her way in. Hopefully it had gotten around...

Tama squeaked with delight as he woke up in his mom's pocket. She had woken him up with a hug. She seemed tired. And she had a huge bear in her arms. He squeaked faintly at the sight of the bear with his huge red ribbon and curled up in his mom's hand. He was terrified. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster.

Then his mom had spoken up. She said something nonsensical but a few words he could understand from studying humans at the front gates. I'm going to have to leave for a #$!$#!$#@!!" she had said. He had no idea what she said. But he nodded to himself in approval and promised to be good. His eyes glowed and he blew a bit of wind in his mom's direction. Her hair fluttered behind her and she looked much better.

Ketsu watched Suka drink half of what she gave him and then heard Karin refuse to drink the blood out of the transfusion packet. She turned to her and sighed "Hand it here! Damn..." she grabbed the packet and drained the rest of it into her mouth and then grabbed at her throat choking a little. She got rid of that with a few breaths and then she tossed it on the bed over Suka, grabbing the packet Suka held and going over to Hiro. She pulled his hand away from his wound slowly...looking at him as she did, blinking only once staying silent until his hand was moved, ignoring any struggle from him and not letting go even after his hand was set back in his lap. She was still at least twice as strong as him in his current state...She pulled him toward her again and throw the same holes she drained the same amount, and again pulled away slowly slipping the blood into the packet and letting go of his hand. "There..." she looked over at Karin as she handed the same packet to Suka for him to drain from it a second time, taking the empty packet and stepping away from both of them. She handed the packet to her again and then sighed. "You've got to fill the packet with my blood now...the same way I did it to that vampire on the bed there...Only enough to fill it though, and you've got to drink it first or else it's useless and a waste." she waited for any questions and watched Suka quietly as she did.

Suka looked up at Ketsu as she pulled the packet away, watching her struggle with Hiro's hand, pulling it away from his neck and then repuncturing the same holes...he looked at Karin as this happened, his eyes cold even when colored such a warm color of red. He looked away from her though as the packet was handed back to him and Ketsu left from him. His eyes were redirected toward his wound that he had unstitched. He watched it, and it did not bleed. Before it began to heal he drank the blood from the packet and spat the demon blood onto the floor for the second time, taking a deep breath as the wound began to heal and he looked away from it. He unstitched the rest of his wounds the same way he had done that one, gripping the string and pulling it out quick. They looked odd after being stitched like they had been, but he ignored that and instead looked back at Karin as his body soaked the vampiric blood up, converting it to a sort of energy that would eventually allow him to drain the blood of a victim as Ketsu and Hiro already were able. To do that and revive himself through that method...

Ketsu watched her after she began to speak, and blinked once as she watched her come closer. It took longer then she expected, but Karin managed to bite her neck and she closed the eye closest to Karin as her neck bled into the girl's mouth. She waited until Karin was finished, and looked over her shoulder as she filled the packet and moved out of the way as she brought the packet to Suka. She watched Suka after that...wondering if he would treat her blood the same as he had the half-Demon's.

Suka took the packet slowly this time, looking at it and drinking it slower then the other one, swallowing the vampiric blood and waiting for a moment before spitting the Nightmaric blood out and onto the floor back into the same puddle as the Demonic blood was. Exactly the same as he had with the Demonic blood. He finished with it and breathed slowly looking up at Karin, he handed the packet back to her, feeling bad for her having to do such a thing for him as to drink someone else's blood and even spit it back out after. His eyes looked down at the puddle of blood on the floor and he stil did not change his expression...it was empty and yet his eyes were filled with regret. It was hard for him...to be fixed like that through someone else and not himself. He let out a large sigh and looked up at Ketsu as she began to speak.

She watched as Suka drank her blood and spit the rest out just the same as he had with the half-Demons and she shuttered. She aited for him to hand back the packet to Karin and fro Karin to grab it before turning to her again and giving her further instructions. "You have to do it again...just one more time..." she motioned for Karin to come back over to her, a different air about her. Just slightly different, lower, and it was because she had half-expected for Suka to do somethign else with her blood. Maybe he would have swallowed it aswell or something? She didn't dwell on the idea for too long, because she needed to make sure that her only concern for the moment was bringing her master back to full health. Making him strong again...

Ketsu waited until Karin had finished taking the second pint of blood from her and wiped the wet from Karin's lips off of her neck, letting it heal afterward, it sealed itself shut completely. She walked out of the doorway into the hall as Suka took the packet a second time, turning left and leaning against the door with her back to the entrance of the hospital and her left side leaning on the wall of the room they were in.

Suka:
He took the packet from Karin, noticing she'd lowered herself...and he kept his silence even through the guilt he felt for her having to do what she'd just finished doing. It seemed that the horror in what she had done actually weakened her or something, he took the packet and drained it slowly-even slower then the last time. He swallowed the vampiric blood, spitting the reest into a puddle and now having a quart of vampiric blood in his boody he took a large breath. He looked at her and with a sad look he spoke again..."So...sorry." He siad the two words far apart like that because of how true they were and how horrible he felt, so horrible that he didn't even want to say anything. She obviously didn't enjoy drinking blood, she was disgusted by it and the more he thought about it the worse he felt about being the reason why she had done it. It was hard enough to have to watch her feel so bad, but for him to be the reason made his heart feel heavy...All of his thoughts were cut short though, as he saw a blur outside in the hall pass by the doorway and his eyes darted toward it in surprise and sudden wonder.

Seishi:
Seishi had come from the forest slowly and weakly, made her way into the hospital calmy and quietly, then with all of her energy she'd used her wings and propelled herself forward, her blades out first aiming at she who had harmed her master. The blades were surrounding her hand again, but they went straight through Ketsu's back and went even deeper then at first would have been expected, extending once Seishi made contact and puncturing her body completely. The blades all but few made it through her back and jutted out of her stomach. Seishi bit the opposite side of her neck that Karin had, and the markings on her silver eyes vanished. The markings that had been added by Ketsu's touch all moved toward her mouth and inside of it, the black smoke seeping into Ketsu's body, the markings that had been on her eyes reappeared following after the ones up her face leading to them. She didn't let go of Ketsu's neck until all of the smoke was forced into her veins and then fell off of her afterward, blades still connecting her to the victim...

Ketsu was completely unexpecting Seishi's sudden attack, and she felt the blades stab straight through her, looking at them and watching the blood spew out from her abdomen, more flooding out of her mouth and spraying in all directions even onto the wall. She then felt her neck puntured for the third time, realizing what was happening all too late to stop it. Her poison had re-entered her body...and when Seishi pulled her teeth away Ketsu's arms up to the neck and down her leg as far as could be seen was covered in the same markings that had been on Seishi. She felt Seishi fall weakly off from her neck and was only pained further as the jagged edges of the blades inside of her were pulled with Seishi's lack of balance. She grabbed one of the blades and began trying to pus it out of her...tears beginning to roll down her cheeks from the pain both emotional and physical now.

Seishi:
She felt her blades being pushed out, and leaned against the wall for ballance, pushing herself straight with her left hand and readjusting her fingers so that the blades met with each other cutting through Ketsu's insides and meeting to become one blade again before pulling out. She'd carved into Ketsu so quickly and at such quantity that it would be a miracle for her to survive...she pulled her large blade to her side, blood dripping off of it onto the floor and more blood leaking out of the corner of her mouth as her energy was almost back completely already. She turned to Hiro though, folding her blade against her arm even though it was still flooded with blood. She pulled from under her cloak Hiro's blade, grabbing it by the blade's edges and handing the hilt to him. She looked down at Ketsu as her blood was quickly flooding into a puddle that had already stretched to the other side of the hallway...

Suka:
He stood slowly, looking out of the door curious of what was going on but still more concerned with Karin at the moment. He smelled the blood so fierce and strong, and was hesitant in paying more attention to Karin then the source of the blood. He staggered over to Karin and fell hrd against the wall looking down at her. "There's more..." he answered her question, but instead of finishing his thought he changed his subject of speech. "But, are you going to be alright?" he slowly began to try and make it to her level...using the wall the entire time for support, his eings folded against his back calmly.

Ketsu's gold eyes leered up at both Seishi and Hirop, from one to the other three or four times before finally she closed them, openeing them again to reveal a deep red color replacing them. She grapbebed at the ground, finding there was nothing to grab and digging her calws deep into the ground, at least four inches, before pushing herself up off of the gorund feeling the emptiness in her stomach. Her wings grew at least six times their normal size, not becoming too long for her to stand, but the wing-span growing unbelievably unporportionate to her body. As this happened Her skin paled even further, the perfect shade of grey as she pushed herself onto her knees and they disappeared into purple misasmic semi-liquid which began to spiral into the air from the way she was keeping herself. The large vacancy in her abdomen was filled with a black matter and she turned to face them, leaping onto one of the walls as her claws then dug into the side of the wall keeping her there as the purple semi-liquid legs took their form again, emitting a purple fog afterward. This was still not her complete form but she sneered with her teeth showing, long and sharp, she jumped at Seishi from the walll directly afterward, the black smoke that was her poison emitting from her arms as the purple fog did from her legs.

Seishi:
She watched with awe in her eyes, apathy in her expression, and a newly apparent beauty in her face. She watched the Nightmaric Vampire begin to trransform into her true form, seeing her leap onto the wall and then out at her but Seishi moved herself out of the way by a thrust of her wings. She grabbed Hiro and pulled him up against her chest from behind, another Black foggy substance emitting from her body and creating a protective Aura around them made of pure Death in the physical form of a smog-like energy. They would be protected from Ketsu in this and she whispered into his ear quietly so that Ketsu would not hear. "Where do we leave to now Master?" She had dropped his name off from his title again, but it was a subconcious thing and she didn't even notice it as she waited for her commands from her master. She would have to move them through shadows to a different part of the highschool...but where she would not decide on her own. She needed him to give her a place and quick...she was not sure if she'd underestimated Ketsu or not...yet.

Suka:
"That's good..." He said thsi and tried to pull himself to a standing position. Having felt that Ketsu was releasing herself without his permission and he began in her direction to fix that...though he could do nothing but try and persuade her to stop, since it was the vampiric side of her that created her that way. A unique ability to her vampiric being that had nothing to do with her being a Nightmare, as far as Suka knew anyway. She was definitely odd and if she was doing any real damage he was about to decide that it was a mistake bringing her...even if it would have been at the cost of his own being to leave he in the Nightmare Realm.

Ketsu missed and felt the power of the mist surrounding the other two that she dared not tresspass upon it and crouched there growling, a feirce growl like no animal could possible muster. She felt her master nearing and then as the mist disappeared she let hergrowl fade slolwly and she jumped on the wall again looking at him. When he reached the frame of the door she jumped at it and grabbed the frame of the doorway digging her claws into it and her wings outstretched all the way, almost taking up the entire hallway. She stared at him daringly and waited for his eyes to meet hers, forgetting...

Suka:
He looked over at Karin as she moved, and walked in front of the doorway, begining to lift his eyes toward it as he felt her jump at him and stop herself with the door's framing. His eyes stopped for a moment, having reached her stomach and seeing the dark matter swirl around within the injured void, noticing the purple fog being emitted from her now light orchid legs. He felt her gaze and holding back a smirk he lifted his eyes to hers, using his still present wings to srush at her and stopping the same way she had, red eyes staring into red eyes. His had a deep dark feeling flowing through them and an immense representation of bloodlust...

At the sight of his eyes she dropped from the door and tepped back once, holding herself there and realizing in that moment who she'd been challenging. She dropped her gaze to the ground and the black smokey mist stopped emitting from her arms, the purple fog following after and her wings shortened with a disgusting sound of bones cracking and clicking together. Once they'd become as small as they should have been again she wobbled for a moment and leaned against the door, eyes still red but beginning to fade to a pink. She said nothing and did not lok at him...watching his feet.

Suka:
He looked down at her stomach once she'd backed down and let go of the door frame sticking his hand on the inside of it once she began to watch his feet. The dark matter liquified and before she began to bleed again it seeped into her veins and then in a purple glow from his hand her wounds all healed within seconds. The bleeding halted there and he pulled his hand out once the healing almost reached his wrist-watching the glow fade and her stomach heal. He turned to Karin, "Are you okay yet?" he asked it in a weak voice that sounded slightly irritated at the same time...
