Welcome to Gaia! ::

Deirdra smiled lightly as Shien looked into her eyes. She rested her head on his chest and just stood there for a few minutes. Just stood there thinking and crying with him; their emotions pouring out onto one another. They weren't really holding anything back, it had been far too long. Loneliness and solitude had gotten the better of them.

After awhile, she raised her head and looked up at him and then down a bit. She took her arms off of his waist, but took his hand in both of hers and smiled up at him. A tear fell down from her eyes and went down her curved cheek, leaving a wet marking on her face that shined in the light. Deirdra took in a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"I.. I realize, that we've had some missunderstandings here. I can feel it, and i'm sure you can too. I don't really know what exactly happened between us, but all I know is that it doesn't really matter now. Okay?" She spoke softly and quietly, as usual. She put one of her hands away from his and rested it on the side of his face, rubbing away a tear with her thumb.

Miki just blinked at Keila as he slowly got back to his feet and checked to see if anything had been broken by the fall. He didn't believe it was possible to actually think a mile a minute, but here was living proof to the contrary. This is Alyssa, she's a friend of mine too now! Miki told Keila excitedly. Though he had forgotten her last name already. And Alyssa, this is Keila.

Nikki sighed as the other girl left, and was a little unsure whether the others wanted her there or not. She then remembered picking up one of the maps at the front gate and got it out looking it over.
"I know where the courtyard is.. If you want to come then follow. I have a map." She smiled a little waving it a little in the air.

With that, she turned on her heels and headed back out the library, glaring at the librarian who seemed to be giving her such a dark stare it made her uncomfortable. But of course she would never admit that out loud..

Alyssa toppled over a cart of books as Keila tackled her. Her bag flew off her shoulder and hit a shelf of books, knocking them to the floor. A chain reaction then began as bookcases began falling everywhere. The libraians screams echoed through the hall.

When the final shelf came crashing down, Alyssa shot up from the ground and glared at Keila like she was a lunatic. She despised people who were this cheerful, especially when the attitude was directed at her own being. ALyssa hissed at Keila, revealing her fangs, knowing she now had to clean this up. "Don't ever jump on me like that ever again! I don't even know who you are! How dare you throw yourself all over me when you haven't even properly introduced yourself to me!"
Obviously, Alyssa was pissed, but when she heard the librarian screaming at her. She thought it was best to clean this up before she continued yelling at Keila.

With a sigh of exhaustion, Alyssa snapped her fingers and began moving her body in a graceful side to side motion. Bookshelves began hoisting themselves back to their normal positions along with the books. After a good ten minutes of dancing, Alyssa dropped to the ground breathing heavily. Everything looked as it did when she entered, and she planned on keeping it that way. "I'm sorry ma'am it won't happen again.."

Keila looked at Alyssa, skittering away with fear. She'd never been yelled at before, besides the mean, old, stupid "watcher" at the orphanage. She'd gotten used to that from an early age, even enjoyed it. The same thing every day. 'Keila did this, Keila, don't do that, don't be such a loon, Keila..' sometimes when she got mad and couldn't talk, she found that most amusing. Other kids had thought her insane. But Alyssa... Alyssa had spooked her. Seriously.
I..I.. I... sorry.... I-I-I didn't.. mean t-t-t-o... she stared at the girl's dance and hid behind Miki, clinging at his shirt. "I-I didn't mean to do it... I didn't..." Keila said, wrapping her arms around Miki's waist now. She was frightened, and shrank back when Alyssa suddenly left the library. I'm sorry... she whispered, both aloud and in her mind.

She didn't hate him! Miki's eyes brightened at this realization and he turned around to face Keila who was clinging to his white T-shirt with fright. It's okay, he reassured both of them, offering Keila a smile to cheer her up, But we would have helped you if you had asked, Alyssa. Miki told her.

Fuyumi nodded and glanced at Madoka, "Let's go Madoka!" Fuyumi was about to set foot out of the library when she hesitated and looked back. She bit her lip as her frantic eyes searched the library with one look. Fuyumi looked down at the floor and shifted from one foot from another. She lifted her head and gave a weak smile before she whispered, "Err... Maddy? Where's my sketchbook?"

Madoka was ready to walk outside of the library when Fuyumi skidded to a stop and blocked the exit. Fuyumi seemed to be taking her time observing her surroundings, as if just realizing that they were in a library. When Fuyumi asked the stupid question, Madoka's eyes grew wide and she slapped her forehead. "You forgot your sketchbook?!" she almost screamed. She covered her own mouth this time and glanced at the icy glares the librarian shot them. Madoka then said in a low voice, "Where did you leave it?"

Fuyumi bit her lip and shrugged. She couldn't seem to remember the last time she was holding her sketchbook. She looked at the floor once more and said in a low voice, "I think I dropped it in the hallways when we were looking for Etsumi."

"Well go look for it you dork," Madoka hissed and shoved Fuyumi out of the way before following Nikki and leaving Fuyumi behind.

Fuyumi sighed and crawled around the library, desperate to find her sketchbook. When it seemed obvious that the sketchbook was not in the room, she gave up and walked out of the library. I'll search in the hallways and meet up with Madoka and Nikki later, she thought and stepped outside.
