Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( that ho's hiding. -grumbles- she blocked me in that sn too.. grrr))

(( she was talking to me via pms fifteen minutes after I had posted.. and then I was like "um.. you forgot to post, bish"... and then she went poof!! >.< EBIL WOMAN!))

(( but because I'm nice, I'll give her the benefit of a doubt until I'm physically present to box her ears.

I mean, normally she calls me on my cell and leaves me a message. fine.. -dives IC-))

Ryoko took a delicate bite of her own pizza, which despite her apparently dainty manners was disappearing from off her plate with such speed and quantity that it was frankly a little frightening.

"I don't understand you, Kyaroru," she said after a long pause. "None of the Pride do. Sometimes I used to wonder why that was, why you were." She ran her claws lightly against the table as she spoke. "Today, when you told me you wouldn't go back to the Pride---that you would fight even Daisuke if you had to---it showed maturity. The kind of maturity that I and the rest of the Pride had looked for in you for so long, but directed in a totally different direction then we could have expected." She shifted her intensely green gaze into her sister's face. "It forces me to make a very difficult decision..." The Feral trailed off again, flicking several strands of silver across her shoulder. "As you know, the Bagheera are scholars...arbitrators. We cannot make judgement without knowing both sides."

She watched Mimi's face closely to see her reaction as she continued speaking, choosing her words carefully.

"I need to know what to do. About you. I know the Pride and their will. You..." She sighed, lifting slender ivory fingers toward her sister's hair, but dropping her hand before they could actually make contact with the silvery strands. "You are my favorite sister, but somehow I don't even understand you, even though I tried so long to help you. So...I want to propose a sort of...agreement. You have brave words, you're growing up, and you have potential but..."

Her eyes flicked up and down her sister's slight frame meaningfully. "You've tried to eschew what we are and it shows, but today I saw that you've learned you can't run forever from what you fear. One day you'll have to turn and fight---and then we will see what is strongest---Daisuke's power or the principles you treasure. If you want to defend those renegade beliefs of yours against Daisuke...you'll need to have steel in your claws as well as your backbone. I'll teach you to do that. And you...you teach me." She paused. "To...understand what...what you saw outside the Pride." Her claws contracted abruptly, sinking deeper into the wood of the table. "One chance. I will give you a chance, and you will do the same for me. I will be a sort of...kuasha to you, and vice-versa."

She fell quiet then.

"...Do we have a bargain...?"

((Augh! How dare you, all that time I was writing the post! XDDD *throws the tar and feathers at them* domokun ))

(( :: Blink, blink. :: xd Did Duellist just disappear? -has been waiting for his post for a while now- x_x I'm getting sleepeh.. ))

((No no, she tarred and feathered me in PM~! gonk Anyway, don't apologize; I was kidding. I'm sorry for taking so long. eek I should be glad Anq didn't try to whack me over the head with the fish or try to split my head open like she usually does when I tarry. blaugh ))

][It's no biggie, I've had Dir en grey to keep me company. 3nodding The song Filth is interesting, not what you'd think it's about at all, as well as HADES.][
