Welcome to Gaia! ::

We had a game of twister at Pre-con for Animazement...it was quite fun, with lots of faces going onto butts and heads going into groins...as usual, I was the only guy...


I met a guy named Joseph(on the left) He was pretty much the opposite of me, and completely straight...and apparently engaged, but let me flirt with him all the same...


See? I had sat on his lap, and he got up, so I latched on...he ended up carrying me outside so he could smoke...it was fun, but definitely awkward...

And say hello to...

Gay Kitty! from the front! You can't really see the ears(I like to have them back, not up) and the tail, but you can pretty much see everything else^_^

Yo're topless is almost all your pictures... o.o; I'm not complaining though. wink

I was at a park, and my friend took my picture while I was like this...I'm so pale, I glow in sunlight^_^; I have been called a daywalking Asher, though...






My friend put me in her kimono, and I posed...my cat's in one of the pictures, he's Smokey. He has a foot fetish(don't ask, please >_<)

o_O! You do look like Asher!!!! =O<3

and you look really good in that kimono x] as Fuu said, it's really cute oO! xDD

"Al! Be careful!" Rae cried out, hurling her boomerang at the bomb-like creature. Everyone in the group had been separated, divided into smaller groups. Whoever was behind these...creatures, was smart. Even Rae had to admit that.

The boomerang flew through the air, knocking the creature's forehead, and Aldrick rushed in, following up with a couple quick smacks with his staff. This one was strong, and Rae and Aldrick had used up most of their magic reserves just trying to stay alive. They would've tried running more, but they had been chased to a cliff, and the drop wasn't pleasant-looking...

Aldrick rushed in again, thrusting his staff into the creature's mouth, and let out a satisfied grunt when it poked out of the creature's back. The creature fell to the ground, it's large body, lying motionless.

The fighter placed his staff back on it's holster on his back, and turned to Rae, walking towards her. He didn't get far, mainly because Rae rushed to him, looking him over. "You aren't hurt, are you? Any cuts, bruises, bleeding?"

Aldrick laughed. "No, no, I'm fine. That last cure spell covered pretty much everything."

The white mage let out a relieved sigh. "Good. We should probably go find the others and help them if...what's that sound?"

Aldrick started hearing some kind of...sizzle? He turned, noticed it was coming from the bomb, and used his body as a shield for Rae, as the bomb exploded, sending them both hurtling through the air, towards the cliff.

Aldrick, face down in the dirt, lifted his head. He had stopped a few feet short of the cliff...and he didn't see Rae.

Scrambling to the cliff, he saw Rae hanging from a somewhat large rock jutting out of the cliff. She had tears in her eyes, and Aldrick could tell she was panicking.

He saw the rock move, and Rae let out a shriek. Aldrick reached down, grabbing the girl's arm, as the rock slipped out of the side of the cliff, bouncing down the cliff side and landing at the bottom, it's size considerably smaller from the impact, numerous pieces littering the ground.

"I'm scared!" Rae cried out, and Aldrick said quickly "Hold my hand and don't let go! I won't let anything happen to you!"

Rae used both hands and gripped the boy's arm, and Aldrick started to lift the girl, before grimacing and stopping. He made a quick peek behind him, only to wish he hadn't.

His back had been burned from the explosion, but only slightly...and that wasn't what stopped him from pulling up Rae. There was something sticking out of his side...looked like a rock, but he couldn't tell.

Rae noticed the grimace, and said "Al?! What happened?!"

Aldrick smiled. "I thought I heard something."

Rae shook her head fiercely. "Liar! You're hurt, aren't you?!"

Aldrick nodded. "Yeah, but it's not too serious...just enough that I don't think I can pull you up by myself."

Rae's bottom lip poked out and quivered. "Al? Are we going to be okay?"

The fighter smiled. "As long as you keep holding my hand, we'll be just fine."

The two sat there, seconds ticking by, minutes passing, hours dragging. Aldrick could feel the lactic acid build-up, knowing Rae was hurting too. It didn't help that he was tired from the blood loss, and sore all over. But every time he felt like he was slipping, he gripped Rae a little firmer.

Finally, after a few hours of them sitting like that, others started to show up, and Kyle and Anthony helped Aldrick pull up Rae, the girl hugging Al. "Al! I thought...I thought..."

Aldrick smiled, patting her on the head. "It's okay now, we're safe." Then, he slumped over.

"Al?!" Rae cried, leaning him back onto Anthony, who looked worried. Al laughed quietly. "Sorry. Just tired...and the rock or whatever it is isn't helping."

Rae looked down at the 'rock', and gasped. "That's not a rock...it's part of the bomb." She grabbed it, pulling it out, the quickly worked her magic, the wound healing quickly, and then she healed his back, figuring that it was burned from him shielding her.

He chuckled again. "Sorry, still tired. We were dangling there for a while..."

"Al? You're going to be okay, right?"

As Anthony lifted Aldrick up, bridal style, Aldrick grabbed Rae's hand lightly. "As long as you keep holding my hand, we'll be okay."

The entire trek to the train, Anthony smiled, proud of his friend, and Rae held Al's hand. She knew he'd be fine...but she didn't want to take any chances.

--------------------------

Gawd! I keep spoiling Rae...and this totally pokes at AlxRae...with a sharp stick, getting AlxRae juice all over the place...

Love didn't exist for him...

Aldrick, for the longest time, always believed that. Sure, he 'loved' his friends, and 'loved' his family, but true love, romance, just wasn't going to happen for him. It didn't help that he, himself, didn't know what love had felt like...not until him.

He was always there. He was always protective. He was always jealous of others. He would always try to do anything for the fighter. And Aldrick wouldn't know what to do, instinct telling him to stay away from the unknown, the pain that was eventually inevitable...

But, every time he felt those familiar arms wrap around him, that wonderful smell filling his nostrils and mouth to the point of choking on it, he wanted to embrace it...and run from it, always standing still and doing nothing, unable to decide which to do...until, one day, he hugged back.

It felt like he was suffocating, but if this was love, he'd let himself drown in it...

------------------------

A really short one. I left it vague, cause I couldn't figure out which guy would get with Aldrick. There were too many choices ._. But I decided to take the subject of drowning to another level...I just don't know if it's a good level...

And the fairy tale fic...is currently being worked on, just very slowly. I'm trying to work out the next chapter, but...it's not sounding right, so I keep scrapping it...it'll come eventually, I promise.

And the SlyphxTitan story will happen once I feel comfortable with all the other summons.

Kyla was worried. Then again, who wouldn't be. Everyone had gotten separated by the bombs. Luckily, she managed to give the one chasing her the slip, but only barely. She didn't even really know why it stopped following her.

She looked around, hoping to find some of the others, and sighed, her eyebrows knitted together, when she didn't see anyone.

Where did everyone go...? she thought to herself.

~Don't worry, Aibou. Everyone's strong.~ Tyue said, in an attempt to comfort the pictomancer.

Kyla nodded, but there was still that unsettled feeling that knotted her gut. She was worried about everyone, especially Kyle...most of the others managed to stay with others, but she had noticed the swallow user had ran off alone, though she didn't know why. At the thought of Kyle being alone, her stomach knotted tighter.

~Don't worry. He knew what he was doing, as...well, dumb as it was.~

Kyla looked at her partner. "You know why he went off alone?"

Tyue nodded, but before the creature could say anything, two explosions sounded, and nearby, too. The shockwaves managed to blow by Kyla, her hair whipping around her face.

The pictomancer ran after the sound, her breathing heavy from her run before. She knew something had happened with the bombs, which meant someone was nearby. She struggled to get there as fast as she could, only to stop and look at the damage.

The grassy field that she came upon now had two smoldering craters in it, and an unconscious person lying nearby. She could see the person was facing up, and she gasped, her hand coming to her mouth, as she saw who it was.

"KYLE!" she cried, rushing to the male, falling to her knees beside him, panic starting to take over her senses.

~Kyla! Calm down, please! Kyle needs you right now.~

She looked at Tyue, confused. "Needs...me?"

The creature nodded. ~He's not breathing...~ she said, looking at his chest.

The girl looked, too, unable to see what her friend was talking about. Then, in sudden realization, she realized that it was moving, wasn't rising and falling like it should.

"What...what do I do?" she asked aloud, still confused and panicky.

Tyue was right beside her, trying to calm the girl. ~CPR, Aibou. You remember how to do it?~

The girl racked her brain, finding the knowledge quickly. She did remember, and immediately started. She tilted his head back, pinched his nose, and took a deep breath. She breathed it into him, then took another breath, repeating herself. Nothing happened...

She placed her hands in the center of his chest, and started pumping.

Please, don't die.

After 30 pumps, she gave him to more breaths.

Breathe, Kyle.

Another 30 pumps.

Breathe again, Kyle...

Another two breaths.

Please, Kyle! Breathe again!

She started another thirty pumps. When she hit 12, Kyle's body jerked, and he started coughing, before taking in a large gulp of air.

Kyla, relieved, leaned back on her legs, her hands sore. She looked down at the swallow-user, looking worried. "What happened?"

Kyle, after taking a few more breaths, laughed, his throat raspy. "..was being chased by one...saw you...being chased, too. Couldn't let that happen..."

Kyla looked down at the male. She was thinking, hard, then put two and two together. "You...you led the one chasing me away. That's why you went off by yourself. That's why mine stopped chasing me..." She mentally added That's why you had to fight two and got hurt, while I...

She felt Kyle's hand brush against her face, and saw a tear on his finger. Had she been crying? She hadn't noticed...

Kyle smiled. "Couldn't let you get hurt...It would've hurt me more than I am now."

The girl blushed. Kyle cared for her that deeply?

The male licked his lips, then laughed again. "If I knew you tasted like this, I should've stopped breathing a while ago."

The girl blushed harder, then whapped the male on the leg. "Baka! I was so worried about you!" Then she stopped abruptly...she tasted good?

"...Sorry."

The girl shook her head, pulling out a potion from her pocket and giving it to Kyle. "Once you're up to it, we'll go find the others..."

Inside, Kyla was glowing, but only herself and Tyue knew that.

------------------------

Kay, my first KyKy fic...I tried, but it's my first time doing Kyle and Tyue...and my first in-depth of Kyla. I think I got everything right...will someone scold me if I got something wrong? Please? I want to fix it if it's wrong ._.;
