Akane nodded her understanding, thinking quietly to herself. She was curious as to how he could talk without a proper mouth. Would he suddenly gain one? She hoped she'd know him long enough to see him talk sometime. At his question, she nodded and reached into a pocket of her pants, pulling out two small notepads. She flipped one open, but closed it as she realized it was full of writing already. She handed the other one to Yuu instead, since it was empty.

Yuu looked at the notepad and opened it to the first page. THANK YOU. He wrote and looked at her, his sewn-on mouth curving into a small smile. He stood up, taking the paper and pencil with him, and walked over in front of Momo.
Momo put out her hands so that they came together, forming a small platform. She let Yuu step onto them and sit down. She brought him up to her shoulder and set him there, turning so that he could see Akane and Sei.

Akane nodded her head, still smiling faintly. She noted how the toy's mouth curved into a smile, and wondered if it'd actually open completely when he spoke. Oh man... She really wanted to see! But she kept her calm expression as she watched him move towards Momo and then be set upon her shoulder.
Sei suddenly leaned forward, the smirk very wide upon his face. He reached past Momo and Yuu and into Akane's s thick brown hair, sorted through it, and a second later, pulled back with a piece of pasta in his hand. "You have food in your hair," he grinned.

Yuu scribbled quickly on the page then, made it into a paper airplane. Tossing it to Akane, he leaned against the side of Momo's head for balance. The sign paper read: MAYBE YOU AND YOUR FRIEND CAN HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO TALK AGAIN...

Akane blinked, staring from the pasta to Sei, and then let out a very small laugh. "Ah, thank you..." She watched Sei toss the food aside, and then turned her attention to the paper airplane that was soaring towards her. She cupped her hands and gently caught it, then unfolded and peered inside. She blinked again, then glanced to Yuu. She had no idea how to do something like that. But, she still gave a suggestion. "Should you just try to relearn, like a child first starting?"

HMM... I SUPPOSE THAT COULD WORK, BUT I THINK IT'S MORE OF A... "GLITCH"... IN HOW I WAS ENTERED INTO THIS STUFFED ANIMAL Yuu handed the notebook to Momo so that she could pass it on to Akane.
Momo looked at the paper. She was completely oblivious to what was going on, and decided to let Akane and Yuu figure it out. SHe shrugged and handed the paper to Akane.

Akane accepted the paper, scanning it quickly with her eyes before glancing back to Yuu. She hesitated, thinking, and then slowly spoke. "Well what if I tried something?" she began. "I could possibly take your soul from the doll, and then put it back in the proper way, if you're willing to try it." Sei's eyes widened slightly at the offer. He didn't see why Akane was offering so much. This would take a lot of her energy as well, and he'd probably still end up carrying her home. "Are you.. sure about this?" he asked. Akane just nodded, and then glanced to Yuu for a reply.

Yuu nodded his little, stuffed head and put the pencil to the page. BY ALL MEANS, GIVE IT A TRY. JUST TRY NOT TO HURT ME IN THE PROCESS. OR AT LEAST NOT TO BADLY... I'M NOT SO SURE HOW MANY MORE INJURIES I CAN TAKE. I TEND TO GET MYSELF INTO PLENTY OF LITTLE FIXES. LET'S HOPE THIS TIME I DON'T GET MESSED UP TOO BADLY. WELL... HAVE AT IT... Yuu jumped down from Momo's shoulder and walked across the table. He sat in front of Akane and put his hands in his lap patiently.
Momo scooched closer, so that she could watch better. "Maybe I can pick up a few things and remember how I used to do this all the time..." she wondered inwardly.

Akane smiled faintly, nodding her head. "I promise it won't hurt you," she assured him, and then closed her eyes. "You don't have to do anything either. Just... sit still." She then set her hands gently on the table, pressed on either side of Yuu, and began chanting quietly under her breath in an old, forgotten language. Her ears flattened back, tail hanging limp behind her. Sei jumped off of the table and stood next to her, watching anxiously. Akane's chanting grew gradually louder, and then her eyes suddenly opened, rolled back into her head so only the whites showed. A small glow began to form around Yuu, then flashed brightly once. Her chanting grew quiet again, but her eyes remained open and unseeing. She'd just removed the soul. Now, she had to put it back inside.

Yuu's limp form fell back against the table. For the moment... he was just a stuffed rabbit. Nothing more, nothing less.
Momo watched as Yuu's spirit was removed and her 'Mr. Fuzzy' was once again exactly that.... just Mr. Fuzzy. She watched intently as Akane's eyes changed and Momo looked a bit frightened. She definitely did NOT remember doing that when she did it at first. Maybe she did it a different way...

Akane continued chanting, her hands pressing more firmly against the table. The glow steadied and then began glowing brighter, as Akane's voice grew louder again. A few minutes later, and there was another near blinding flash before she let her voice trail off. The glow faded and her eyes closed. When she opened them, they were back to the regular dark red. She started down at Yuu, leaning against the table now just to keep herself standing. She was breathing heavily, about ready to collapse. "Y-Yuu?" she asked breathlessly, watching him expectantly.

"Right... job well done," Yuu said in a clipped, british accent. He looked around as if trying to figure out where the voice came from. "Forgot I sounded like this..." he muttered, realizing that it was himself. He stood up and brushed himself off. {Which, let me tell you, looked extremely strange considering he was a stuffed rabbit...} "You all right there, m'dear?" he asked, looking at Akane.
"See! I told you it was a bit frightening! 'Specially coming from him!" said Momo said, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. Backing up a step, she looked at him skeptically.

Akane's ears twitched as she heard him speak, but then she simply smiled. "I'm glad it worked," she said faintly, trying hard to catch her breath, but unable to do so. Her legs gave out suddenly, but she managed to lean over just enough so that she fell into a chair, rather than on the floor. But still she smiled, and nodded her head. "I'm alright," she assured him quietly. She laid her head on the table, eyes shifting towards Momo before closing completely. "It's not so bad," she said with a faint laugh.
Kuro stepped towards her, licking her cheek softly, but she didn't move. Sei stepped forward as well, tapping her shoulder lightly. She grunted, signaling she was still awake, but appeared to be too tired to even sit up at the moment. Her ears were drooping, tail limp behind her, dangling to the floor. Sei sighed, shaking his head. Then he fixed Yuu with a stare. He had to admit, it was extremely odd hearing that voice coming from the stuffed animal.

Yuu simply looked at Momo, remembering her last reaction. He shrugged and walked over to Akane, sitting down on the table next to her head. "Anything we can do to help?" he asked Sei, looking upwards.
Momoko continued to watch Yuu warily, even as she cautiously stepped towards the table and Akane.

Akane shook her head slightly, eyes closed and otherwise not moving. She was exhausted. Sei frowned, leaning over to brush some hair from Akane's face. "She's done too much in one day," he explained, growing serious for once. "Earlier she brought a guy back to life to move his body from the courtyard. She should've at least waited until tomorrow before helping you. Dumb girl..." He sighed, then glanced towards Momo, still frowning. "What? You scared of him now?" he asked rudely. He knew he sounded mean, but he was slightly agitated that Momo was acting like this after Akane had beaten herself up to help.
