Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Well, one of her greatest fears are spirits who are just plain evil at heart. Right now, she's feeling its presence but I'm planning on having this being show up in some other time. x_x ))

Ikue felt quite stupid and cowardly, clinging to Bertram like this, but she couldn't help herself. Will this aura keep bothering her during her stay here? Taking a deep breath, she slowly let go of her friend and looked around. Again, that aura slowly faded away, as if it were never there. The young medium wondered if she'd ever be able to overcome something like this, and wondered how she would be able to to do that. "Sorry about that..," Ikue said in a muffled voice as she burried her face into the large stuffed ghost that Bertram has given her. "I felt that presence again."

][Sorry about the late reply. She booted me off again. >_< I let her on all day until 3 or 4 and she boots me off when it's rightfully my time on the computer! domokun

-Make's an IC post now.][

((Back. But only to exit... x.x))

Kourin sighs, and snatches about three slices of the pizza. She was hungry... and besides, she wanted some for later. She could always eat the pizza cold, and oddly enough, she liked cold pizza. And with that, she turns and exits the bar, munching away on a pizza. Now it was time for her to check out her new room.

She strolls through the lobby, and heads to the second floor of the hotel, via the elevator. She enters the elevator when then doors ding open, and she gently nudges the button that leads to the second floor. After a moment, the doors ping open, to reveal the second floor.

Now where did neko-jin say the room was, she thought to herself. Oh, first on the left. And with that, she removes the key from her pocket, and opens up her brand spanking new room. It was slightly bigger than the other room, and this time, it had a mini fridge. And hopefully, a working washer and dryer!

Kourin shuts the door behind her, finishing off the first pizza. She wanted to be alone for the time being... and that's what she intended to do.

((And I'm out for the night... later!))

-Mimi paused, blinking up at Ryoko, surprised beyond belief that the older feline broke the code of physical contact on her own. Perplexed, she listened to the woman, delicate brows furrowing gently. Oh, and that sniff her sister gave her did not go unnoticed. At that, a slight blush caressed her cheeks. She knew she should've washed her hair out thoroughly.- I'm starving, do you mind if we go downstairs to eat?

-That said, she headed down the stairs again.Upon reaching the front desk, she reached toward the phone again, sighing. What she said back there...it was bound to come and kick her in the butt one of these days. That, she was sure of it. And she could only hope it wasn't right then and there.

Almost as if making sure she was right, she glanced over at the doors before dialing. That feeling of insecurity, how she loathed it. What was worse was the fact that now Ryoko had to answer for Kyaroru's absence-- something that did not sit well with the young Bagheera.

Still, she was a stubborn one...and this Kusanagi refused to return. Her sister still lived and she'd taught the older Seya a lesson to boot. Hopefully Ryoko was not foolish enough to get herself killed in the process. That would surely affect Mimi in ways that she rather not think of.

Again, she heard the phone right, awaiting for Hakan to pick up the phone. Come on, she'd called twice before and he had not answered. Frowning, she pushed another button and decided to leave a message.- Food's here, Hakan. Don't worry about that guy, he's in the fourth floor fixing a dryer. I doubt he'll come back down any time soon.

-With that, she hung up the phone, orbs glancing at the staircase to see if Ryoko was coming.-

(( Edited once!! biggrin Does that work, Jackie?))

Ikue let out a sigh of relief, seeing that they were now in the hotel's lobby. Yet, she also felt pathetic for what happened back there. The girl frowned slightly, a dull look in her gray eyes. "Getting used to ths sixth sense of mine isn't going to be easy... Geeze."

(( edited the post, read,read,read.))

What had ever happened to Hakan? What had ever happened to the demonic young lad? He'd drawn himself into his world of darkness, he'd lowered himself to the darkness within yet again. His room would be a bigger mess than what it was earlier, more then likely torn apart by a fit of rage. ..No, this was no normal temper tantrum There were burn marks along the wall, the light bulbs had exploded, and inside of the dark corner where the monsters lurked, Hakan sat with his arms resting on his knees.

He wasn't curled up, he wasn't cradling himself pathetically, no.. He'd made himself comfortable, he'd given into the darkness, he allowed himself to become filthy. With a mind full of nothing but macabre images. His eyes continued a glow which was not so healthy, or at least that's not how they seemed. In the darkness they could dimly be seen, those scarlet orbs..

What had started this? What caused this other self inside of Hakan to burst to life? What made the normally cheerful teenager bathe himself in darkness? It started with that demon.. No, that .. That thing! He couldn't have been a demon. He seemed far too powerful, at least to Hakan. Hakan lived his life, Hakan made himself exsist through power.

His proof of exsistance was strength. If he was the strongest, if he could stand atop the world and have all the Gaians bow down at his feet, he would be able to feel that he were alive, but.. Abe, he made Hakan feel as if he wasn't so strong anymore. And thus, he made Hakan feel small, feel dead, feel like he didn't, nor did he ever exsist.

Sure, Hakan flipped out over bugs the previous night. But this was his true fear. To not be able to prove himself the strongest in the world. It had worked once before, so well as a matter of fact. He could feel a large ammount of power surge through his body thanks to the dagger. Naturally, for the third time, Hakan turned to darkness to aid him, he turned to darkness to comfort him, he turned to darkness to make himself stronger.

However, this was unusual. Such sadistic desires, such evil thoughts, they weren't Hakan. Even the spirit which usually dwelled within him had retreated to the other corner to cradle herself. Hakan's current state of mind told him that if he gave himself to the darkness, he would be able to defeat any foe before him. The naive teenager was wrong, he was only destroying himself.

Truely, it was a horrible sight. As if trying to please their current master, the shadows would seem to dance around him. Hakan would only sit in silence. It was an evil silence. It made the calm before the battle seem like childs play. it was the kind of silence one seemed to experice after death came to them to drag them away!
