Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arusa stared at Vixen, smiling weakly when she said that he was no burden when being carried. She then said that they will be home soon; allowing him to rest on her shoulder, and that they have to wait on Karuki and Iwa, the Iron Genius. Arusa then heard Vixen say to him that she promised not to do it, telling him that another day, he can kick Dante's butt, then asking Snips if he wanted to be hypnotized by Dante. Arusa smirked when Snips ran away under the table near the barkey, covering his eyes with his paws.

"Why do they call Iwamaru the Iron Genius..?" Arusa asked in a very soft voice. "He does not seem like a genius at all actually..." He smirked again as he watched Vixen bend down, and catch Snips right as he jumped into her arms, licking and pawing at her face. 'Cute...' Arusa then just sat there on the bench, huddled in a ball still, turning towards Dante, who told him not to worry, and tha he rathers not to hypnotize anybody at all for the time being since it takes up lots of energy, and that he rather charms animals with his violin.
~
"I..have a violin too...except I left it at some mansion earlier this weekend. There is no way I am getting it back now..." Arusa said calmly, sighing. He burried his head in his arms, ignoring the small coversation between Vixen and Dante, that is, until he started paying attention when he looked up, and caught Vixen dancing in beat to the jazz music in the backround. 'She is a really elegant dancer...' He thought, smiling weakly again.
~
Arusa then had the thought of dancing with her, his face turning red slightly at the thought of it. He looked up at both Vixen and Dante when she asked him to dance with her. Arusa frowned at the thought of Dante dancing with Vixen, which disappeared almost immediately when he heard Dante ignore that question. 'Yes! Now I can dance with Vixen!' Arusa thought, smiling.
~
But he looked up at Vixen when she suddenly stopped dancing, lowering her head. Arusa turned to Dante, only hearing that he is only a half-vampire. And if he was to bite Arusa or Vixen, they'd turn into half-vampires as well. Arusa then thought about the horrors of turning into a half-vampire, until Vixen forbidded Dante from biting him or anyone else in the world. "Yay..." Arusa mumbled happily and quietly under his breath.
~
He turned when Snips started snuggling by his legs, suddenly looking exhausted. Arusa smiled weakly once again, picking up Snips and placing him on his lap, stroking Snip's cheeks and his head. Arusa looked up at Vixen again, who still had her head lowered towards the ground, looking away from him, Snips, and Dante. "Vixen...what is wrong?" Arusa asked her in a calm voice, as he placed Snips next to Dante, getting up from the bench and hugging Vixen.
~
Arusa stared at Vixen, who replied to Dante who had offered to turn her into one-fourth of a vampire. He heard Vixen thank him for the offer, but rejected it, saying that she knows nothing of what will happen, then saying she doesn't want to endanger her friends. He stood there next to Vixen completely still when she turned towards him, Iwamaru, Karuki, and Snips, saying that she doesn't want to endanger them, also saying that she's been hunted down too many times, taken too many risks.
~
Arusa stared at Vixen, eyes widened. "You were hunted...?" Arusa asked, concerned, as he gave Vixen a tight hug, in hopes of making her feel happy again.

Snips snored softly on Arusa's lap while he was petted, but when he was moved he opened one eye to see Dante. His fur stood on end, but smoothed down when Kitsune had rejected the offer. He smiled and went back to sleep feeling warmth from Dante. Kitsune heard the small yay, but barley caught it. Kitsune blinked a few times as Arusa wrapped his arms around her. Her sadness started to creep away as she looked at Arusa with worried eyes. "Nothing's wrong anymore, I have you." Kitsune smiled and hugged Arusa feeling his concern for her. Kitsune looked Dante than snips remembering the violin the good witch told them about. The one he likekd playing so much. "Snips...may you please?" Snips growled, but opened one eye to confirm with Kitsune what she asked. He nodded and jumped down now carrying a briefcase the good witch had given them "You're violin is in their, but we will go clothes shopping tomorrow if you want. I'll get you anything you want." Kitsune smiled warmly and held Arusa a little tighter. Her hair spiraled with the wind and thumped lightly against Arusa making Kitsune smile.

When Arusa looked up with a question Kitsune nudged her nose against Arusa's forehead. "Don't worry, they don't know my name anymore. The hunt was called off when they found a shattered sword thinking it was me. Vixen is my name for now, but Arusa if you are in some danger say my real name. Keep it close don't whisper it unless you need me, but I will hear it in here." Kitsune pointed at her head than at her heart, but her face looked saddened. She touched Arusa's head with the tips of her fingers and closed her eyes trying to use her element shadow. She could only communicate with others if through their head, but never read what's on their mind. This....is...hard...The real name is....ugh, KItsune. Only....say if...need help." Kitsune let go of her shadow element feeling cold again as her mind closed communication with Arusa. "I hate using that....well..." Kitsune kept hearing the jazz music faintly and wondered what Arusa would think.

Her sad mood had left her letting her shoulders lift and her energy back. "Come on, I haven't danced with a partner before." Kitsune took a small step back looking at Arusa to see if he wanted to dance with her. "Please?" Kitsune chuckled softly wondering if Arusa would reject the offer like Dante did. Snips stayed close with the briefcase in his jaws, but thought better of it. He put the suitcase on the ground and curled up on it to get a few more Z's in his nap. Kitsune turned her head slightly when she hearrd about the contract. "Arusa beat you, now I'm his. So no vampire for me tonight, but thank you Dante." Kitsune giggled softly knowing she was ditching the opportunity to fly, but for now Arusa had her attention, and she didn't want to be mean to Arusa.
