Welcome to Gaia! ::

(so...I think I tried to make a point of it at the beginning, but if no one has noticed by now, Emi's family is filthy rich...so...oh yeah...time to introduce -drumroll- the father!)

Emi smiled as she watched everyone eat. She turned and looked up, now seeing her father walking towards the table. A look of anger appeared on her face as she muttered something along the lines of "he shouldn't be here."

Lily noticed and looked up at Emi. "Onee-chan..." she hugged her sister. "Don't be mad..."

Emi sighed. She bit her lip as she looked at Lily. "I can't help it..." she spoke back, making sure to only be loud enough that Lily and those right nearby could hear. "He pisses me off...father shouldn't be here...not after the hell he's put us through..." she turned to look at her father once more.

Her father wasn't that old of a man, or so he seemed. He couldn't have been older then his early 40s. He had red hair, along with a moustache. He had blue eyes, much like the rest of the family (I think). His face was rather round, save for his chin which seemed to stick out like someone had ironed his chin down off his face. He was fat, extremely so, and wore an outfit that looked a lot like a fast food uniform. The hat itself even had the words of the fast food place on it. (I don't know what's a big fast food place there in Japan so...)

Ichigo stared for a moment or two, but quickly looked the other way, trying to to be rude.

(wow...err...ok...not much has occured I guess...three posts since I last posted...I know I haven't been super active...but, still... -shrugs- oh well-)

Em sighed as her father walked over to the table, sitting down. She looked down at he plate, taking her silverware and slowly eating. However, after a moment, she hit her silverware against the table. "Why are you here?" she asked, in a rather upset tone.

Her mom gave her a stare. "Emily!"

"Mom! He shouldn't be here! I didn't ask him to come!"

"He's your father! Why would you deny him the ability to see his daughter turn 16?"

"Because I hate him. He's a stupid b*****d who hates me, and I hate him, so why should I let him come to my birthday party? I know Lily likes him, but I don't care! It's my birthday, and if she wants hima round on hers that's fine, but she wasn't around when he divorced you! She doesn't know what our life was like for three years!" she knocked her plate onto the ground and stormed off.

"Emily Nanase Konichi, you get back here right now!"

"Go away!" she shouted, then ran off, heading back upstairs. A moment later, anyone in her room could here her screaming as she ran towards her room, kicking it open. She jumped on her bed, ignoring the others, and pushed her face into a pillow, where she continued to scream and cry.

The father closed his eyes after watching all of this. He sighed as he stood to his feet. "It appears I'm not wanted here."

"Naoko..." the mom spoke, then sighed. "I'm sorry, children..." she spoke, turning to the others at the party. "I don't know what's gotten into her...you know she isn't normally like this..." She then turned to the father. "Naoko, don't go...I'll...I'll try to talk to her...reason with her or something..."

Naoko shook his head. "No, that's ok, Martha. No need to. It's obvious she doesn't want me around, so, I'm going to go ahead and go. I work in an hour anyway..."

"I'm sorry..." Martha spoke, looking down.

Lily just watched the whole thing, then looked down. "Onee-chan..." was all she said, and even then, it wasn't very loud.

(wow, long post...so...Naoko is the father, Martha is the mother...figured I'd hand out names now that I'm gonna be using them a bit more...time for character reactions now...)

Pez almost fell over as Emi ran past her. You see, Pez had been walking up the stairs all this time- Trying not to drop anything and trying to actually make it up without fainting of exhaustion. She rushed up a little more quickly and came to the door. She didn't go in yet.

If Sam was surprised, which he was, he didn't show it. He wasn't good at dealing with teenage girls. When Fisshu tore in he said "Um, I'm just going to go outside," and stepped out slowly. Then he met up with his little sister, who was panting heavily outside of the door.

"Uh-hi," Pez said, pushing the soda and food into his hands. "Take it," she commanded.

Sam took it, not like he had a choice. Pez would have dropped it if he didn't. He squatted down, placing the plate on the ground. When he straightened up, he snapped open the pepsi and took a drink. "So, what's up?" he asked, referring to Emi.

Pez shrugged. "I didn't see. I was too busy climbing these god forsaken stairs...!"

Serori slid out from the table, leaving her half filled plate there. "I'm going to see if Emi's okay," she said, heading towards the stairs.

Leichi looked at the parents. "Sorry if this is nosy, but what's the relationship between the family members here?"

Masumi stayed. She couldn't really go anywhere anyway.

Ichigo on the other hand slowly stood up, and walked towards the stairs. She might as well try to help calm Emi down.

((Well, there isn't much to do...))

((Yeahh.. writer blockage.
Nothing to say.
I'm speechless.
