Welcome to Gaia! ::

Outside, the street lights began to blink to life. Sounds of people heading into their homes for the night, and the world shutting down until the next morning could be heard. Tsurui just let out a sigh, and wrapped his other arm around her, holding her body close to his. "I dunno, if i need a blanket, you seem to be doing a great job keeping me warm. You might need it though, i'm not the warmest person to hold onto at night." He bounced slightly on the couch and giggled. "Squishy. This'll do." The lights in the bar began to dim, as it closed up for the night.

The bar remained open all night as it was expected, but the customers that came in were few and far between.

Tsurui could help but, snuggle close to Kittie, his arms wrapped affectionatly around her. He watched as she pulled a blanket right out of the very space around them. "How'd...you do that? I only deal with death magic, creating things out of nothing is not part of job description, my purpose is to extinguish that which creates." He smiled and wrapped the blanket around Kittie. "You gotta show me how to do that one day..." He yawned, tired from the days events. In the span of one day he'd learned he had a heart, and that in fact did work. He didn't wish to sleep though. Now that Paranoia was watching over Suzaku in the upstairs room, they were left alone now to enjoy the company of one another.

"Hm, not being able to remember your past, it's an interesting idea. I know i had a past, but i willingly forgot it. My past before my life as a Jester began when i was really young. Being able to mold and ironically create things meant strictly to destroy other lives, was something that just came naturally to me." He smiled as they sat together in the dim light of the room, talking as if they'd known each other for ages. He firmly held her hand in his, their fingers interlocking together.

"Sadly though, the power of a Jester is linked directly to our sanity, each time we use it. We lose a bit more of ourselves, i'm one of the few that has managed to retain the personality we had before becoming a Death Jester." He thought nothing of her inability to remember the past if anything, it made him feel more connected to her. "See...you showed me you're power...i'll try and show you mine." His eyes closed tightly, as his scythe blade began to shine brilliantly, no longer was it the dingy, rusted piece of metal it was before. Now, it was a deadly, elegant weapon, the metal of the blade shone brightly with its dark aura. Like before the blade shattered, and millions of shining shards of metal floated weightlessly in the air. "Our ability is directly linked to our weapons of choice. The weapons we chose are meant to look decrepit and useless from afar, and for all intensive purposes are just useless to ones that can't use them." The blade's light began to dull, and the weapon reformed, and once again lay lifeless on the floor, looking the way it had before the change.

"Oh...another less violent ability we have, i think you might like is this..." His eyes still remained closed. The bloody print he'd left on Kitties shoulder before began to shine a dull crimson color. "it's kinda useless...but hey, some Jesters out there just can't see in the dark." He laughed softly, and opened his eyes once more.

Tsurui lost any and all conversational skills when he felt Kittie squeeze his hand gently. The moment seemed so perfect and so right. He leaned his head against hers, and enjoyed her company. For some unknown reason, the mark of her blood along his arm began to shine as well. He looked down at it, as it pulsed with a dull crimson light, the pulses almost resmbled that of a heart beat; not his heart though...but of hers.

The gentle beat of the light seemed almost relaxing as the two sat together. Tsurui couldn't figure out why her print had began to mimic her heartbeat, even before he could piece a possible answer together, his own print on her shoulder began to mimic his beat. "I'm..not quite sure what's happening..." He said, curiously. It didn't feel like something threatening, more like an inviting warmth.

Tsurui wanted so much to stay with Kittie and spend the rest of the night talking, but he could feel his weariness catching up on him. His eyelids began to droop as he fought to stay awake. For once in his life, he didn't feel as though he had to run anywhere, he sat content with Kittie in his arms. Upstairs he could hear Suzaku and Paranoia stirring about, but the sounds soon subsided, and the bar was once again silent.

Tsurui didn't know how much longer he could keep his eyes open, he could feel sleeping coming fast. He barely heard Kittie's teasing comment. With a happy laugh, he didn't even think about what was to happen next. In his semi-awake state, he gently placed a hand on her cheek, and brought her in closer. He quickly pressed her lips against his, kissing her, before pulling away, slightly embarassed. The feeling of this kiss, made his heart beat rapidly. "Er...sorry? I wasn't really thinking..." he blinked sleepily. His arms wrapped affectionatly around Kittie, holding her close to him.
