Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't go....Please!! Don't go!!" She said abruptly, she seized him and pulled him close, tears streamed down her cheeks "I don't want to be alone again...not again...Please Ran..." She begged as she tried not to cry on his soft fur...but she couldn't help it. She sobbed, holding him close... the one thing she had in this world...the one thing she loved. "Please....please don't leave me..." She cried even harder, her voice full of an unordinary melancholy...an agony beyond her wildest dreams.

*Ran closed his eyes and let her weep. Although the tears of a loved one are suppose to bring your agony, these tears brought relief to a wavering heart* Ranpha...I'll be here as long as you desire. I won't...*Ran's eyes shot up as he felt a strange pulse blast through his body. He turned his gaze out the window and cringed. C-Cain?! It couldn't be! Ran's thoughts screamed through his mind as he felt yet another pulse shoot through him* Ranpha get back!!!
*Ran pushed her away and jumped to the floor as a vortex of shadows rose up and engulfed him. The dark whirlwind twisted for a short moment before settling back down and vanishing just as quickly as it came* Wh-what is this? *Ran raised his hands to his eye, only to see soft skin and five human fingers. He looked over to a mirror on the wall and saw himself in his natural form. But why? Was I forgiven? Did Cain or Kuroi do something? He turned back to Ranpha and quickly stepped over to embrace her as he had wanted to since his return. He didn't speak a word. He merely held her close and tried to figure out why this had occurred*

*Ran stood with Ranpha for a long moment. The more he thought about it, the more this seemed too good to be true* This is bad. This is very bad. *He looked out the window, wondering why he felt a pulse from Cain first. Was she linked somehow? Maybe they were still connected spiritly? He didn't know, but if anyone had the answer it was Cain*

(Done so. Sorry 'bout the mix-up.)

Cain fell to his knees and screamed in pain. His head felt like it had been split open, something was happening. Something that had to do with Ran. What's going on? What's happening? WHY RAN!! His mind was screaming, his thoughts seeming to run around in his head uncontrollably. He didn't even understand most of them. The pain sudsided and left Cain panting as he slowly rose to his feet. "November, there's something wrong with Ran. I'm sorry, but I have to go. It was nice meeting you Remi, I shall help you find Ueten as soon as I can." he said, hugging November and kissing her on the forehead as to say 'I'm sorry' and then taking off in the direction he'd just felt Ran's energy.

Cain quickly made his way to what he remembered as November's apartment. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "That's a rather odd place for Ran to be, unless...." he trailed off, thinking about Ran and Ranpha. He ignored the pressure that was building in his stomach. He swallowed the lump in his throat and slowly made his way up the stairs, knocking on the appropriate door and then waiting.

Cain blinked when he looked down at Ran. He had never really noticed before, but he was taller than Ran. But maybe before he hadn't been, being a female had done a great many odd things. He saw Ranpha behind Ran and swallowed the growing lump in his throat. "I..you...you're back to normal." he said, stopping several times before finally being able to say it.

Cain shook his head. "Like I'd know, I haven't talked to my uncle and I've only talked to Kuroi shortly. It happened after November told me about...."he trailed off, unable to finish his sentence. Despite the fact that his hormones weren't acting up like they were as a female, it still remained that he'd been rather sensitive in the first place.
