Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karin's hold on the ground began actually tearing up fistfulls of grass in her anger as she stared upwards towards Suka and Kana. She was growling in her throat now as well, tail flicking quickly behind her. Then she shut her eyes, bowing her head as she gritted her teeth. I hate you, she thought angrily. Stop it, I hate you! She actually began cursing in her head, her lips moving every now and then as a word or two almost exploded out of her mouth. She couldn't stand this, not being able to help at all. And this guy... She shot a glare towards Yuri. Why had he just come and then simply watched?

Seira blushed slightly at the idea of Joseph wanting to kiss her, but she tried to hide it by partially covering up her face. Where all boys like this? “Is that all you think about....” Wisp groaned as she covered her face with her hand shaking her head in displeasure. Letting out a sigh the little android hopped up onto Joseph’s shoulder. She sighed once more and then gave Joseph a little peck on the cheek. “...There happy now? ... And there will not be any kissing Miss Seira got it!” Puffing out her cheeks in protest.

Still sitting where she was Seira bowed respectfully to each of them then gesturing It...is...nice...to...meet...you in sign language after Joseph introduced himself and Rachel.
Tilting her head slightly as she looked at Joseph, she looked a bit confused. She turned to Wisp, hesitating in her movements as she gestured a question to her in which she mimicked the same motions of Joseph running his hand through his hair.
Wisp fell to the ground laughing. It took several minutes before she could relay Seira’s question. “Hahaha.... Miss Seira... Miss Seira wanted to know if you are really fond of your hair... since you...” She pointed to Seira how mimicked the motion once more, looking up at Joseph innocently. “Heh... heh... yeah... since you do that a lot... heh...”

Joseph grinned a little at Wisp, shaking his head and laughing some as he shrugged his shoulders in defeat. "I suppose that's all I'm going to get, then." Winking back at Wisp, he flashed another winning smile, giving a half-bow. "Charmed, I'm sure."

Rachel grinned a little when Seira started signing, able to infer what she was intending to ask about. Glancing over at her brother, she snickered to herself as he simply stared blankly, wondering what Seira was talking about. It was at this point that both of the siblings realized that the reason she hadn't been talking before was that she was mute, but neither of them brought it up, out of politeness.

Once Wisp had finally relayed the question, Joseph gave a good-hearted laugh, taking the opportunity to steal another wink in Seira's direction. "Well, you've got to look your very best for the ladies, after all," he said quite simply, his voice completely devoid of the embarrassment one might expect after having such a thing pointed out.

"Pfft," Rachel chimed in, shaking her head and giving her brother a disdainful look. Looking back to Wisp, she stuck out her tongue, waving her hand. "He's totally self-obsessed."

"Do I detect a hint of jealousy?" Joseph said to his sister almost immediately, still laughing. Rachel just ignored him and went back to eating.

Karin raised her head again, watching everything helplessly from the ground. There were cherry blossoms swirling around Kana as she kept herself afloat, getting caught in the girl's tousled hair. She bit her lip again, eyes shifting to Suka as she saw him swing the sword. But it seemed to her that he would only be hurting myself by leaving the kunai stuck in his throat and, of course, Kana had actually stopped herself about to help him. Luckily she'd recovered enough to dodge.

Karin let out a sigh of relief as he missed, but it caught in her throat as she saw Kana's eyes widen and then watched her clutch at her side. Karin blinked several times in confusion, completely baffled. He'd hit her anyway? Had he something else hidden in the attack? Her hands clenched even tighter, claws digging into the ground as she pulled up handfuls of dirt. Then she froze, seeing Kana cough up blood.

For a moment she sat stunned, and then quickly leapt to her feet, though that really wouldn't accomplish anything. Neither would yelling, but that didn't stop her either. "Suka, you idiot!" she screamed loudly. "Leave her alone!!" She had tears of frustration building in her eyes as she remained trapped on the ground, unable to help.

Kana continued staring at her blood covered hand, and then shut her eyes as she coughed again, spitting out more blood. She kept her hand pressed over her mouth now, blood dribbling down her chin. Her other hand was still clutching her side and her left hand and arms were all bleeding from injuries as well. She wobbled in place for a moment and then crouched down as if she were standing on an invisible floor just for her, still floating in the sky. She was seemingly oblivious as Suka charged at her again, throwing the swords. She looked up in time to see them coming, but just stared blankly, as if she was out of it. In truth, she was really feeling dizzy and silent tears were streaming down her face. She was confused as well, not sure how he'd injured her without making contact. She stared straight ahead in her daze, not moving as the lightning struck, nor closing her eyes as it did. Thus, she was blinded for a while afterwards, though she didn't blink or move at all. Even her tail and ears were completely still, tail around her waist and ears flattened agianst her head. After several minutes had passed she very slowly turned her head, staring blankly at the swords that had stopped so close to her. Then her eyes closed and she breathed out slowly, blowing out more blood as she did, and plummeted straight down from the sky.

Yuri caught Kana and looked down at her, blinking a couple of times. He'd let this happen, though only because it was too early to act without atually having to get involved-and doing that might have injured this girl further, she'd done nothing to Suka to make him do such horrible things to her. He walked a little further away fromo that spot and thensat down with Kana still in his arms, he sat cross legged and set her in his lap as he continued tosupport her back and head but le her legs go as her feet touched the ground and lay draped over his own leg at her knee joint. Within an instant they were engulfed in a black flame that was warm but at the same time harmless, while in the flame the girl would heal, though with two people in the flame noone outside of it would be able to reach inward. He simply sat there with her looking down at her..."How bad are you hurt? You're going to be alright...but still, I'd like to know-if you can speak at all..." he said looking down at her through his silver eyes which reflected the glare of the surrounding black flame as a shadow is cast over a peice of metal, just slightly changing the shade of his irises.

Suka lay on the ground, and his eyes opened as blue flooded his eyes and then sunk into the red changing them to purple instead of black...this was the form he would need to take to gain full control of his body and not be handicapped by the injuries he had. He gained conciousness very slowly, and his demonic wings changed color slowly, growing thinner and wider as he lay there...instincts had done this to him. He touched the kunai and winced pulling away for a second and then pulling it out of his nexk forcing blood to quirt farther then it had so far. He crushed it in his hand and dropped the metal fragments onto the ground. Now ignoring the pain, he sat up and looked at Karin apologetically-too taken aghast by his own actions to speak just yet. He sat there without the ability to move just yet and he looked at her with a blnk expression, his wings laying limp on the ground where they touched it, and his tail gone gray with the fright of her response to his actions, frightened to the point of becoming pale-which his face was already from being in Nightmare form. Hedid not heal his wounds, but his blood dragged along the ground toward him out of it's own instinctal habit...This was what he had regretted happening...this was more horrible then he had expcted, because now he could lose Karin's trust along with the already absent trust of Kana...both of them were Cat demons though, so if they did not trust him, he could get over it in time becuse h could leave on his own taking a separate and parralel path going in the opposite direction. He was already preparing himself as he waited for Karin to do or say something...

Karin stared at the ground for several minutes in silence, a scowl upon her face as both her hands and teeth remained clenched. Her flattened ears perked and tilted towards Kana and the man, just to try and listen to make sure Kana was ok. All she heard her friend say was that she was sorry. Karin's gaze softened as her ears drooped again. Of course she was. She was always sorry about something. This time it was probably for involving the other male into the fight. Actually, she was probably apologizing for offending Suka as well, even though she hadn't done anything at all. He'd attacked her for no reason... Karin had seen the fire, but decided not to worry about it since Kana seemed somewhat calm. So instead she turned to look at Suka now, placing a hand on her sore stomach, which had probably been bruised by the orb she'd been hit with.

She just stared at him, watching as he changed again, and feeling relieved, scared, and angry all at the same time. She shut her eyes as he pulled the kunai from his neck finally and then opened them a moment later to see he was staring at her now. She actually took a nervous step back, her ears drooping as she realized she had. Her eyes were slightly wide as she watched him a couple minutes more and then dropped to her knees, crawling towards him very slowly and then stopping about three feet away. She wiped her eyes then, as if just realizing they had tears in them, and watched him a bit more before trying to speak. At first no sound came out so she swallowed and tried again. Now her voice worked, but it was very faint and she could only think of one thing to ask. She didn't really want to know the answer but she couldn't help herself. "What did..." She paused, taking a deep breath. "What did you shout at me... a second ago?" Then she bowed her head, closing her eyes again as she braced herself for a response. She needed to know, and after she found out she'd ask if he was alright, and what had happen. But she needed to know this first. What if that side of him had said what the side she knew felt? Maybe he was just always trying to be nice and kept himself from saying it until now. Her hands clenched in her lap as she kept her eyes shut, ears drooping even more now.

From how sad she felt, she knew she still liked him, but at the same time she was now afraid. It had already been pretty nervewracking that he's a wolf and she a cat, but she'd gotten used to and over that. But now she was suddenly afraid of him again, moreso than originally. She knew what he was capable of. She'd found it easier to forgive him when he'd become the blood demon, but this time he'd attacked with something other than just blood, which led her to believe it really was Suka who had been in charge of the body. And also, he'd attacked a friend instead of her. She'd rather it have been her. If that other male hadn't shown up, Kana would've... The thought trailed off as she refused to finish it. She bowed her head a little further, biting her lip as she fought back more tears. She didn't want to end up suddenly crying, but she couldn't seem to hold it back much longer and a couple tears leaked out and dripped down to her hands, clenched in her lap. She was shaking very slightly, but hadn't realized it until just then.
