Takara opened her eyes, which had been closed in thought for a few moments.
"Do not underestimate her, Xiariene. Kyosuke himself is no pushover and to be able to do this much damage to him in so short a time...For all we know, those abilities might not work against her. First though, we should find out what she wants and she stands in the current situations, if she is involved at all..."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Oooh, I think she likes him...
Hikaru hid a smile as Xiadessa looked to Haru, hoping what had happened earlier between them had simply been a misunderstanding. Nodding, she began walking out the door, down the hall to her room.
"Of course we can talk, Dess-san. We'll see you at dinner, Haru."

Haruto scrubbed efficiently and was done with his shower within ten minutes. He stepped out and toweled himself off. he ported into his room. Feeling lazy, he decided to just wear his yoga pants as he prepared to meditate.

Xiaedessa leaned against the door as they entered Hikaru's room "Haruto seems so much warmer to me than he was earlier....before, it was like he wasn't even there, as if his emotions had been removed, leaving an almost soulless killer behind....he had scared me, and I felt really really horrible, I couldn't bare to see him with such anguished eyes" She sat down, her back still against the door "Um, well, I wanted to ask you.....what Haruto said this morning....that he....loves me.....I am not usre I really understood what he meant until I was in that dreadful place.....I just, I just wanted to see him, to see you, again. For a while, I was beginning to think I had a crush on you, I am embarrassed to say, but then I began to think, those feelings I had for you, were not the same kind I seem to be having for Haruto. When I am around you, I feel a strong bond, it is true, but it is as if you are like family to me, even more so than Reeny or Zangonya. But Haruto, I really just don't understand what is wrong with me....every time i gaze into hsi eyes, I get this really fuzzy feeling inside, and my middle goes slightly numb and fluttery.....perhaps I am still sick from the testing they did on me, but I wonder, is this the feeling Haruto is referring to himself having as 'love'?" She looked down, slightly red "Sorry, too much to soak in, please forgiove me for rambling so much.."
Xiaeriene smirked with her eyes closed "Perhaps, but must we be so pessimistic about it? Either way, she has a weak point, nothing is completely perfect, not myself, not Kyosuke, and definitely not his mother. All we have to do is find her weak point and utilize it to our advantage as best we can. Of course, easier said than done, I am sure, but, we don't have much of alternate routes now, do we?" She heard scrambling outside, and went to the door. She opened it and her girls entered "Oh, girls, come in, I daresay I have a bit of some things came up, I am dealing with for the moment, why don't you guys go get some snacks and head upstairs, I'll be with you as soon as I can" Nanami nodded and led them to the kitchen. She knew Nanami understood how it was to deal with many guests, she was from a rch family and had lived in a mansion for the first 13 years of her life; she knew Xiaeriene was doing thepolite thing by dealign with the others first. She returned to the parlour with some more tea for everyone. "Now, where were we? Have some tea, this brew is berries and rosehips, so it will taste much better than the medicinals from before"

"But what you're failing to see, is that we seem to be in another war, a war with this Black Star Nation. We don't know much about htem as it is, we can't throw around man power as if we have the lives to spare. For all we know, this attack could have just been by some psychopath with a surreal amount of power, but the thing is, we don't really know who they were, or what their true motives are." He glanced over to Kyosuke.
"Besides, unless he asks for our help, it's his fight to bare."

Xiaeriene rolled her eyes "Uh, News flash! Duh! Like, I alady know that! i was simply laying down what what we do have, and know, and our possible options. I never said anyone had to use them. Sorry for trying to help, you know, I really don't even know why you are here anyway, it's not like you are really involved with him in this at all anyway, I only got involved because my aunt there was with him, and I was not very wel going to leave him there to die!" She smiled, noticing her father coming to with a goran "Well, I will let him deal with you two, if you'll excuse me, I have guests to entertain" She turned and left the parlour, heading upstairs to take her shower

Hikaru smiled softly and hugged Xiadessa, "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you've managed to sort out your feelings a bit. You'll figure out exactly what that feeling you have for Haru is in time. Now though, why don't you and Haru head on downstairs while I get ready for dinner..."
Leading Xiadessa back into the hallway, she gently tapped her brother's door and called through to him, "Haru, please escort Dessa-san down to the dining room so I may freshen up a bit."
Returning to her room, Hikaru picked out a pair of whitepants, long blue shirt and a belt, heading to the bathroom for a quick shower.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Bye then, Xiariene..."
Takara glanced over to Kyosuke, her mind going to her brother and Taki, who were both still in Lower City. It wasn't safe for them there, not for Kyosuke because of his mother, and not for Taki because of Tengu.
"Kyosuke, why don't you and the others stay over at my house, lay low for a bit? We have a guest room and the two couches downstairs open..."

"No it's fine. I don't like imposing. I'll let Taki make up her own mind. She probably wants to be Daishi for a while. I'd feel better not being a burden. And besides, this "war" as Vain puts it, could end up being two fronts. What Tengu did was an act of war. I may have another rebellion to deal with. Which will pull man power from this Black Star Nation deal. I'll have to lead because many of our commanders were killed in Tengu's attack."
Kyosuke stood up and stretched. He knew it would be far from a battle. It would have to be an eradication of all opposition.

Haru answered with a double knock in the affirmative. He was dressed in a long white shirt and loose black slacks. He bowed to Dessa before he left his room. His normal smile was back. He led her downstairs into the kitchen.
Nissin and Irachu looked up from a map they were studying. Nissin smiled as he saw the Anthros girl. "Ah, Xiadessia Anthros. Welcome. I believe you know my offspring, and I am Nissin Ramen, of the Terren defence league. I ave not seen you since you were an egg."

Cyrus turned to Kyosuke, still a good bit drunk, but slowly sobering up "I suppose takara has a point, it might be better if you and the others steered clear of Lower town for the time being....we have five bedrooms and two bathrooms up on the third floor as well as a training room, you are welcome to use it for a while."
Zangonya had went off with Izumi and Bardok to the shooting range, and she had done quite well, scoring perfect targets with all bit two of her shots out of 200. As they left the shooting range, she turned to the two "Hey Suji, Uzimakai, you guys want to head to the cafe? It's Five Cent friday, they are selling Hot Wings for five cents each, I'll buy us all a bunch"

Xiaedessa had to stifle a giggle at hearing the man's last name; it was inappropriate to behave in such a manner, as she had been taught much in the ways of etiquette by her uncles. She bowed "Nice to meet you Sir, Irachu, I am glad to see you are doing well" She suddenly had an idea, and for a moment she dismissed it, but quickly decided, it might actually work as a good thing. She leaned over and kissed Haruto on the lips, just a quick peck, and smiled, blushing immensely "Haru, I am really glad you invited me to be with you here tonight" She felt strange; the kiss had felt....it had actually felt wonderful to her. As soon as her lips had touched his, she felt elated, and she liked the feeling. She turned away quickly, dousing her smile, and sat down next to him.

"Again, I'd be imposing. Besides for the time being I need to be coming up with some battle plans. Besides, when I meditate, I really stink up the place. Seriously my aura has a smell, and it smells like sulfur and brimstone. Anyway, I gotta be getting back to my place. Gotta warn Koori and Taki. It was good to see both of you again, but I really must be going."
He turned around as he reached the door and bowed to both Cyrus and Takara before leaving.

Cyrus clutched his belly and roared his head back in laughter at Kyosuke's excuse "I see, so you get a case of horrificly macabre gas when you meditate, what's the reason, you have to eat beans or asparagus or something to help meditate?"

"Very well, Kyosuke. You know how to find me should you need anything."
Shaking her head at Cyrus' antics, she disappeared, her spirit once more returning to her body. Falling back upon the bed, she sighed, attempting to wrap her mind about this new set of events. Kyosuke himself was very powerful, one whom she would not want as an enemy, and yet this woman appears and beats him to an inch of his life without getting hurt at all. And what was the Black Star Nation up to? Before things would connect, they had to find out motives. But to do that, they'd need to talk to someone from the other side...
Glancing over at the clock, she stood, remembering she had to finish dinner. Quickly fixing her hair up in a bun, she dashed downstairs into the kitchen, offering a quick wave to her son and guests. Checking the pots and pans on the stove, she was glad to see nothing was burnt. Ladling the miso soup into bowls, she called out to Haru.
"Haru dear, would you please set the table?..."
----------------------------------------------
Hikaru emerged from the bathroom, clean and dressed. Going downstairs, she heard her mother calling out to Haru and replied, "I got it, Mother." Going to the cupboards, she proceeded to take down the necessary number of plates and eating utensils.

Haru felt woozy. His smiled and touch his lips. It had felt good. Very good. He took a seat next to her just before his mother called to him. Slightly dissapointed, he stood up and walked to the cupboards just as his sister arrived and offered to help. He looked to Hikaru with still glassy eyes. She kissed me.

Malisvir walked the streets of the lower city. He took a drag on his cigarettes. He was bored. It had been a year since he had lent his children to that magician. He knew not why, but every hundred years he had a streak of restlessness. He saw a group of hooligans loafing behind a dumpster. He smiled evily. The Black Star Nation was paying him enough to substantialy increase his horde, but slaves, those he was in short suply of. His mind quickly worked the numbers and he decided. He would be the new king of this underground. He flicked his smoke toward the dumpster. It flared with a life of it's own and streaked like a ball of fire and exploded on contact. The red haired man looked on and waited for the crowd to arrive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tachi entered the kitchen and eyed the girl. He remembered that the children had asked it their friend could come over tonight, so he shrugged it off. He kissed his wife on the cheek and asked her about her day.
