Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dear Diary,

Well, I have yet another child. I've made an entry in your first pages on the rest of our little family, but now we have another addition. Little Sakura. I found her on the building site of my new home, along with four other pendants that I am trying to find homes for. I've found homes for two so far, and the other two remain ownerless, but I wont give up.

Sakura seems to be a very cheery person, and I've already given in and bought her a few things. She glows pink when she's happy, black when she's mad, and blue when she's sad. I seem to be doing a good job on keeping her happy though. I'm very excited to have another girl in the family, it seems this place is getting a tad over run with boys. But I'm sure she'll get along fine.

I wonder what she'll be like when she comes out… Or more so what her relationship are with the other four..

I am sad to say two of the children I found along with Sakura don't have homes yet, but I'm not about to give up. I'll keep searching until I eventually find homes for them. I wont let them go abandoned. I also don't see the woman who has one of the pendants all that often.. I hope she hasn't forgot about us..

Sakura seems happy and bouncy as ever. The sweet little dear. She's started crawling on her own now, and for that I'm very proud! She'll crawl all over the place now, following Sesshomaru wherever he goes. It's so cute, but Sesshomaru doesn't seem to think so… *insert sweat mark*

Well, I have to go give Sakura her bath now, so I'll be sure to write again soon. Chow!

Sesshomaru worked back by the empty storage room, since no adults where around he figured it would be safe to clean up. His shirt was laying in the play/living room on the couch, which seemed to be the only thing that could say he was in the area to anyone who came in.

He let out a minor grunt as he lifted up a rather large box, carrying over to a stack that needed to be taken out of the area.

Sakura sat in the living room playing what seemed to be blank scrolls. They where streched out all over the floor around her, and her crayon markings littered what was once the solid white sheets. She giggled and cheered as she colored, waving a crayon filled hand around.
"Yay!"

Yume walked into the center, a little amazed that she got there without getting lost. "I wonder if anyone's here..." Lee, who was in Yume's hand's, glowed his usual green, then yellow, then white.

Sesshomaru turned his head as he thought he heard others in the main room. He quickly made his way out of the storage closet and locked the door. He didn't want anyone he didn't aprove of finding out about his, Mirelle, and Kiraka's prodject. Some of the less reliable children could ruin it by ether telling the adults, or makeing a mess of everything.

After closing the door he whiped some sweat from his forhead, before spotting Rini. Now that was a face he hadn't seen for a while. He let out a faint grin, before going up and waving his hand, makeing sure it seemed like he was exciting the bathroom and not the storage hall.
"Hello Rini."

Sakura looked up and tilted her head as she heard a strange woman come into the center, and then blinked as she saw the pendant.. She felt something from the pendant.. Something familer.. And the feeling excited her yet at the same time made her cringe. What was it she wondered? Well... Only one way to find out..

Sakura stood up on her feet and wobbled a bit to get her balance, her arms held out to as she looked down at her feet. Once she was confident of her ability to stand, she wobbled over to the woman. Once she reached her she tilted her head, and put a fingure to her mouth.
"Geeeee?"

Yume noticed a little pink-haired girl reaching toward her. She smiled and bent down to meet eye-to-eye with her. "Oh, hello there Miss. My name is Yume and this is Rock Lee." She showed her the small pendant. Upon seeing this young girl, Lee glowed green again and white. But, to him, she looked very...familar. Have they met before?

Sesshomaru blinked in surprise as Rini hugged him. He set his hands on her shoulders and gave a light squeeze, since it was a jesture he wasn't used to.. Nor all that comfortible in returning, even with a friend as close as Rini. When she hugged him, she would of been able to feel the sweat that beaded over his chest and back, and probably on his arms to.

He looked down at his bare chest, setting his hands on them. As he got taller and older, his body was starting to take on defined muscles, not that he minded. He let out a faint grin to the question, Rini could be trusted. He leened over and wispered lightly, since he didn't want the woman he saw with Sakura to hear.

"I was working in the storage hall. Don't tell anyone, but me, Mirelle, Kirika and Chloe are cleaning it out and we're going to turn it into a practice hall. You can help us if you'd like." He said with a smirk. He was sure the girls wouldn't mind if he brought in Rini. She was such a close friend after all.

Sakura beamed and smiled at the woman as she gave her attention, but then blinked as she saw Rock Lee... Why did that name sound so familer? She reached up and touched the pendant, tilting her head to the side.
"Kweee?" She mumbled, before letting out a bit of a furrowed frown. Why did she feel so uneasy around that presence..? It was alot like when she met Kakashi, a since of familerority.. Did she know him?

Lee glowed a soft orange at her touch. He felt...calm around this girl for some reason, and something else he couldn't remember. It was hard to decipher...

Yume looked from the girl to Lee, to the girl again then back to Lee. 'Looks like they're interacting well...'

Sesshomaru nodded, before looking back to the woman to make sure she wasn't watching. He took Kiita's hand and lead her to the room, unlocking it and letting her inside.

"I've known it's been here for a while. And the last time Mirelle came over she was complaining about how she didn't have a place to shoot her guns. So we're going to make that back corner over there a shooting range." He said, pointing to where he had begun building a wall. Some slots with one sheet of bullet proof glass.. Although it seemed it still needed a little bit of work.

Sakura smiled as she looked up to the woman. She wanted to tell her and Lee her name, but sadly she hadn't learned how to talk yet.
"Saaa.. Saaaruura!" She said, trying to tell the woman her name. She shook her head and frowned, before trying agian. "Saaa... Sakuuuur... Sakuuuuurrrrrr..." She struggled, showing great struggle with trying to get her name out.

Yume blinked than widened her eyes. Was this little girl trying to speak to her? She gently picked her up and set her down on the couch next to her. "Sa....Saku...Sakur....Oh! Are you trying to say Sakura, Miss?" She said happily, clapping her hands together.

Sesshomaru shook his head as he lead Rini inside, and locked the door behind them. He didn't want anyone to skeak in on him.
"No, You see where the glass wall is I'm makeing? That's where the shooting range will end. In the middle we're going to have practice dummies, and on this side we're going to have work out benches and weights." he said, pointing to the wooden dummies he managed to put together, and then an old weight bench waiting to be reconsturcted.

"Since this room is pretty big, we should be able to do alot with it.." He grinned, before pointing to the back door leading outside.
"And me and the girls are going to have a lemonade stand to try and raise money to buy a pool. That way we can do laps and stuff outside.." He beamed, feeling so smug for comming up with that idea.

"But remember, don't tell anyone, not even Kiita. If someone finds out they could ruin our plans complete, and we want it to be a surprise."

Sakura blinked as she was lifted and carried over, then beamed with joy as the woman said her name. She began nodding vigoresly, she got it right.
"Saaaa! Sakur!" She smiled, trying to confirm. She couldn't say all of her name, but at least she could get it out in parts. She then looked at Rock Lee, pokeing him.
"Raaaaa... Rooooo... Reeeeeee"

"So I guessed right then, Miss Sakura. Very nice to meet you ^^." She smiled. Yume smiled even bigger as she watched Sakura say Lee's full name.

Lee glowed green again then white at Sakura. This girl was very nice, like Mirielle. He glowed orange again at being poked, even though he didn't usually like being poked by others. But Sakura was just a baby, so he didn't mind.

Nova meandered in, Sora about her neck, dangling. The little key glinted, but was dozing a bit still. His mother was hopped up from a Margarita however.

"HIIIII EVERYBODYYYYYY!"

Yume nearly fell over at Nova's entrance. "Hey there Nova! Hey Sora!" She waved to them from where she was sitting.

Sesshomaru looked around as he tucked his hands in his short pockets, shrugging his shoulders.
"A couple of weeks now I think." He said, before looking to a cage of mice sitting on a table. He had been cetching them with the hopes of selling them at the lemonade stand.

"I've been having Tenshi buy me stuff for it, like the bullet proof glass. Yet the woman hasn't even bothered to ask me why I want them." He said with a sigh, he lived with her yes, but sometimes he thought she was just a little too naive for a woman her age.

Sakura jumped as she heard a loud woman's voice, scurring to Yume's side and hiding under her arm. She peered out curiosly under her pink bangs, quivering ever so faintly.
"Scawee.."

Yume patted Sakura's arm with reassurence. "Yes, she can be a little...scary at times. But she means well." she whispered to her.
