Once outside Juunikyuu smiled as the early moonlight danced over her face. She rolled her shoulders as they felt stiff before putting on her jacket and shifted it slightly until it fitted "just-so". Turning she looked towards the main gates and blinked a few times. Was that a new arrival walking up the main path? Indeed, she thought it was. Perhaps the Senshi could offer the new arrival a welcome. Or Juuni. The Senshi inwardly chuckled, thinking of how surprising she really was to meet for the first time and shook her head before walking towards the stranger.
"Hi there!" she called out, waving her hand at the stranger.

A small squeak, vageuly resembling a "Hello" came from somewhere within Allwyn's throat. She pulled herself up to eye level to see who was the first she'd speak to in her new found hideaway.
"Erm, Hi... I'm Allwyn." She managed. Wondering whether to pour out her life story to this stranger, she paused for a second.
Better not, you've travelled a long way. You don't know how others will react to you now.

Juunikyuu blinked before smiling with a small bubble of laughter escaping her parted lips. Her eyes sparkled as she took in the young woman stood before her.
"And I am Juunikyuu, pleased to meet your acquaintance. No need to look so worried, this is the Dark Sakura, you will find peace, safety and acceptance here and I am certainly not about to hurt you. Not in my nature."
She cocked her head to the side slightly, her cat ears becoming slightly visable through her ruffled and uneven purple locks. Behind her, her tail twitched slightly. Within her subconscious Juuni had begun to stir, growing restless and agitated, itching to come out after being inside for so long.
Perfect timing I suppose... This is one way to break the girl in to what goes on here I suppose...
"I'm sorry to have to throw you in at the deep end... But I'm afraid the little one wants out and I'm not one to refuse her after so long. I do hope that we get to meet again"
The Senshi smiled as her eyes sparkled a bright purple and sparks seemed to rain around her and then in a flurry of bright light and feathers the form of the Senshi melted away and what was left after everything cleared was a small, bright eyed cat girl. She blinked and rubbed her eyes before smiling widely at the girl.
"Ohayo~! I'm Juunish!"
Of course, this was perfectly normal for her sweatdrop

After the fiasco that was HoH, Fae had finally been able to deal with Meria...mostly. But more important was the dealing with Dante issue. And after that, the issues just seemed to pile up more and more, and she thought about the offer that Sierra had sent her. To join a force known as the Guardians. She wasn't sure about it, but it would give her something to occupy her time, since Dante was content being Mister Mom, and as much as she loved her children, that was not in the cards for her.
So instead, she made her way back to the place she had glimmered from Meria's memories; The Dark Sakura Guild. She only hoped that Sierra was still around. If not, she wasn't sure what to do, she could only hide the depression of uselessness from Dante so long.
Her hair was now her normal shade of brillant red, and the burden upon her shoulders seemed both heavier and lighter as she made her way to the guild. She still wasn't sure why she trusted Sierra, only that she did. Perhaps it was the Elf's connection to the earth, so similiar to her own, but whatever the reason, she had to find out. And maybe then she could help her with her Tellus problem. For Gabi had finally grown worried enough to call Faeriun in for help, and she knew that Tellus and Sierra had seemed to hit it off well enough.
"Excuse me..." She spoke when she got to the reception desk. "I know I left abruptly before, but I do need to speak to Lady Sierra or..." She tried to remember who else Sierra had said it was okay to speak to, but couldn't remember any name other than the 'child'. "Natalie."

Stifling a yelp Allwyn stood her ground and looked at the girl in front of her.
"And I thought I'd feel out of place here."
A small smile slowly spread across her face.
"So... What next?"
All the memories of home flashed into Allwyns mind reminding her of all that she'd left behind. With a stern shove all those memories were locked away.
That was long enough ago now, you've left the homelands now. There's no going back
"So what bought you to the guild? Everyone here has a story, right?"
Looking into the eyes of the cat girl stood in front of her, Allwyn knew there was more than meets the eye to her new accquaintance.

Juuni cocked her head to the side, ears flickering and tail twitching as she yawned and stretched out, reaching her arms high above her head before letting them drop.
"Juuni has lots of stories. So does Juunikyuu-sama... Most of them hurt..."
The tiny neko-jin seemed to falter in her cheery disposition slightly before regaining her composure.
"Juunikyuu-sama saved me when no one else could. She saved me even though everyone else had never done nothing but be mean to her. They threw her out and tossed her aside. Just like I was... But that doesn't matter anymore because we have each other! And we have Papa, and Fae-mama and Sierra-sama and everyone else!"
Juuni's tail swished side to side happily, almost like a dog wagging her tail before she shuffled closer to Allwyn. Cryptic she may have been in her explanation, but what else would one expect from such a young child?
"And what's your story Allwyn-sama?"

"Me? I took exile from my family for love only to find out that the one I loved only wanted the crown and power that came with my family name. Once I'd given that up to be with him, He didin't want to know anymore."
She fought back the tears, knowing crying would get her nowhere.
" I was destined to rule our homeland, I'd just been made Head Archer for the elves in our forest when Lune came along. He was a changeling from an outcast family and my father instantly took a disliking to him. I should have realised then that the relationship would be my downfall."
The thoughts of home came flooding back and this time Allwyn couldn't push them away. Her lip began to tremble and she buried her face in her hands.

Juuni suddenly appeared to become serious, perhaps even growing in size an inch or two as she approached the young maiden with tilted head and worried expression.
"... Juunikyuu-sama got cast out for love... And still held love for a man who hated her... He killed her only son... Pain is bad... But still good because it makes us stronger..."
She paused and smiled softly.
"Juunish would hugs chu, but she cannot reach and a thigh height hug is not really very good..." sweatdrop
The tiny girl stopped and thought for a moment before giving a squeak of recognition and scuttling off towards one of the flower beds, carefully plucking off a beautifully deep coloured flower and returning to Allwyn, hand outstretched to offer her the item.

Allwyn crouched down to Juuni and recieved the flower. Smiling wryly she felt her cheeks flush a slightly more obvious shade of pink.
"Thank you, believe it or not you're the only person other than my mum to have given me a flower"
Allwyn chuckled to herself, remembering the the lily gardens of home and offered her outstretched arms.
"How about a cuddle at this height?"

Juuni smiled and mewled happily as she leapt into Allwyn's arms. She had always been quite the forwards type and it hadn't caused her much trouble so far! She purred contently as she lopped her arms around Allwyn's neck and whispered quietly in her ear in a voice that didn't quite seem to belong to her but was neither alarming or frightening.
"You'll find nothing but friends here my dear little Elf Queen..."

Allwyn sighed deeply. This was it she finally found somewhere she felt she could belong. Months of running away had finally come to an end and she felt safe. The guild was her new home.
This is more than just an accquaintance, i know it. I've not felt such an instant connection with anyone before.
Allwyn glanced about taking note of the moonlight creeping across the grounds and the breeze ruffling the back of her hair. She gave a shudder and glanced towards the buildings in front of them.
"So what's in there?"

Juuni blinked and turned, still attached to Allwyn's neck as she pointed with the tip of her tail at the various buildings dotting their view.
"Chu has the main hall, dojo, the chambers of residence..."
She paused.
"Has chu travelled far? Tired? Juunikyuu-sama has some chambers with a comfy bed if you want to sleep!"
Within their subconscious Juunikyuu twitched.
I suppose it is as much her chamber as my own...

Allwyn chuckled lightly.
"Far enough to warrant a very long sleep"
Glancing round at the buildings being pointed out to her, Allwyn felt that warm, safe feeling growing more and more with each of Juuni's words. Tomorrow, she decided, would be spent exploring and discovering as much as possible about where was now home.
"Lead the way"

Juuni smiled and jumped down, trotting off towards the large building in front of them and heading through doors and along corridors until they came to a beautifully decorative door that did not seem to fit. If Allwyn was looking closely she would see that the door handle was charred and slightly bent. Deftly Juuni stood up on tip-toes and opened the door, it did not appear to have any lock.
The room Allwyn would be lead into was simple, clean and yet heavily layered it seemed. There was a hidden depth to these chambers. Juuni certainly seemed completely at home here and instantly jumped up onto the large double bed, shuffling over to one side and flopping down onto the pillows.
"Bed!" she stated simply as she began to purr, eyes closed and tail tip twitching.

Allwyn looked around taking in her surroundings.
Indeed that is the bed... Guess I just jump in.
Hesitating for a second or two, Allwyn watched Juuni sleeping, chuckling to herself whilst watching her tail twitching from side to side. The room certainly did reflect the new friend she had met tonight.
She sleeps so peacefully for someone with such a past.
Sighing again, Allwyn lowered herself down shifting pillows and blankets and closed her eyes swiftly falling into a deep sleep.
