Bukotsu, who was very shaken by this, was speechless for the time...his face turned a slight shade of pink.
"You haven't caused me....any trouble...well not any that I can think of," Bukotsu smiled as he tried to cheer her up.
"You're not your father, you know that? You father is who he wanted to be, and you choose whom you want to be," as he held Tomoro to try and help her stand.
"Trust me, you have alot of time," Bukotsu smiled, "If I didn't meet you then you know...I wouldn't have something to help or protect, like in search of wings... You wanna find something that you can hold on to that will want to hold you back just as much..." Buktosu smiled.
He gently moved his arms around her and hugged her, " I dunno why, but I wanted to tell you when I got back that...I really liked you, and that I wanted to be with you as much as my head would tell me...But you wanted me to go away, and I listened to you, but I don't like being away from you...and I don't want you... to go away...so please...stay with me..." Bukotsu said holding her closer to him...In the corner of his eye slid down a small tear...

Tomoro began to cry, silently, her arms around Bukotsu's abdomen. Silent tears, like a misty rain that would fall unexpectedly during the day. "I....I love you..." she said, so quietly she wasn't even sure he could hear her. Why...? Why do I feel this way? I've never felt this before... never.... Tomoro tightened her grip, and pulled herself against Bukotsu's chest, heaving up and down. "Just... please... don't leave with me... that's what I'm worried about.." Tomoro somehow had summoned the strength after she had gone through so much, and it surprised her... she always thought she had a strong will. However, Bukotsu and Kai were the one who saved her... not herself.
Tomoro pulled away slowly, eyes slightly red, and rubbed them. Then out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Kai. Cutting himself. Oh... my... God... Tomoro winced with each passing cut, and somehow dashed over to where he stood. "You... idiot! Killing yourself won't do anything... it... won't do anything..." Knowing that he wouldn't listen, Tomoro brought out her gun, and turned the trigger upside down, banging Kai upside the head with it. "Stupid kid. Look at what you've been through. Look what I'VE been through. You don't see me cutting myself apart." Tomoro coughed slightly, and limped her way over to a bench, sitting down and putting her face in her hands, still weeping.

Bukotsu heard pretty damn well..."She loves me?......" Bukotsu said as he saw her run off. He went after her to find that Kai was cutting himself and was knocked out cold... Seeing Tomoro crying at the bench as he walked over to her quietly. He had the box under his arm, "Tomoro...please stop crying..." Bukotsu said as he sat next to her.
"Why are you upset?" Bukotsu said as he looked at her still weeping.
"Don't...cry..." Bukotsu said as had his hands on the box.

"I can't.. help it..." Tomoro began to hiccup, and held her breath for a moment. "I dont' even know why I'm crying anymore...." Tomoro looked down at the dirt, slightly moist. I can't even look at him... I feel like I've broken the law for saying that I love him.... like I've committed a crime. "When... I passed out.... I remembered how my father treated me... and how I came to have these powers...." Tomoro had finally ceased crying, and put her head on Bukotsu's shoulder. "I don't even know what to think anymore...."

"Dont think then..." Bukotsu said kindly as he took her hand.
"You think what you need to only think, those thoughts are the most important," Bukotsu said sounding more mature now.
He gently held her hand, "Whatever you need, I can help...don't think yourself a burden anymore, you need others as much as they need you..." Bukotsu said trying to understand what she was going through.
"Tomoro, you're a good person, strong willed, brave, and you can be pretty ladylike if you wanted to, to tell you the truth, I liked it best when we met and went to the beach," Bukotsu smiled as he pulled her closer. He was trying to comfort her, make her forget about the present situation and calm down.

Tomoro looked down, sighing lightly. Her irrational breathing had stopped, and she was beginning to feel better, although the occasional cut or bruise stung. Inspired by Bukotsu's words, Tomoro smiled and closed her eyes, moving her head up and pressing her soft pink lips against his. With a single squeeze of his hand, she let go, stood up, and bowed, picking up the box in her hands. "I'll be right back... I don't want to walk around in rags anymore."
Tomoro dashed off to the nearest bathroom, and slipped her knee-length dress off, picking up the kimono with both hands. Slowly, she slipped it on, and tied the obi around her waist; it was a perfect fit. The midnight colored kimono went perfectly with both her attitude and appearance, embracing her curves, and bringing out the color in her eyes. The only downside was it brought out the black scar as well. Tomoro silently took off her black ribbon, causing about 2 inches of hair to fall against her back. Looking at the serial number on her hand she almost forgot about, she sighed, and grabbed her hair in ponytail, pulling it up and tying it around in a bun with her ribbon. Two chopsticks hung out of Tomoro's pouch, and she grabbed them, sliding them into her hair. She blushed slightly, and then decided to walk back to see Bukotsu.
After walking around for a bit, she finally reached him once again, and smiled lightly, still a light pink. "How... do I look?"
((Bedtime. Night night. xD; ))

Bukotsu was very shocked when she kissed him. His face had turned a slight shade of red. He was pretty surprised... in his head, he was happy, smiling as Tomoro walked off. After she came back his eyes widened greatly...
".....Wow....You look....wow..." Bukotsu was pretty much speechless, He was trying to look for some real adjectives now, "It looks great on you..." Bukotsu's face turned a slight shade of pink now.
"Kawaii ne... " Bukotsu said in the back of his mind as he smiled, but then suddenly remembered, "Wait....Where's Sachi?" Bukotsu smiled weakly as he stood there.

((whoowee. that was a lot of back-tracking blaugh ))
Sachi had been playing around the outside of the Greenhouse since she had changed into the kimono from Bukotsu. Running around the perimeter all day had tired her out. She was now laying against the eastern wall, still holding onto the bouquet of flowers; asleep. Her silver hair cascaded gently around her small, round face. Looking at her, it seemed she was dreaming of things as sweet and innocent as she was.
((short... ))

((We sure did write a lot yesterday. xDDDDD; ))
Tomoro smiled, and turned around; if she were Sachi, she would definitely play outside. Tomoro's soft hair bounced in her bun as she walked, and finally, she reached Sachi, kneeling down, threading her fingers through her hair. So cute.... Tomoro looked down at the bouquet of flowers, her eyes still dull, but beginning to show a bit of life within them. She stood up, and leaned against the Eastern wall, her back to the glass panel of the greenhouse. Tomoro dug into her pocket, still stuck on her kimono, this time, and pulled out a small herb, popping it into her mouth. There... that ought to keep my emotions cool for a bit.... Tomoro looked up at the sky, clouds hanging here and there, like pillows set out to dry.

Bukotsu smiled as he was working on more potents, and salves. He didn't know why, but seeing Tomoro in a kimono and telling him she loves him were more like an overkill enough to make him smile all day long. He had eventually created a salve capable of healing, smelling like lavender, and be used as sun-tan lotion.
After seeing past the glass, he saw that Tomoro and Sachi were relaxed as he kept to work. There was alone probably thousands of medicines that Bukotsu had created within his case, small tiny vials lined along the entire interior of the case, and many more were in the middle in trays heaped up upon another.

Tomoro's smile faded into a frown once Bukotsu went off; just another front. In fact, she was terrified. What on Earth is happening to me...? Why did the plants attack me... why... am I still alive? It seems like death has tried to come for me too many times.... "I wonder if I'm good or bad..." she mumbled quietly, kicking her foot into the dirt. Sachi remained next to her, her small chest rising and falling in a timed motion. Tomoro looked at her for a moment, and then walked far off, about 50 yards away, where a small hill lay. She sat on it; surprisingly, the grass seemed to stop there; it was a cliff. Tomoro got on all fours, her kimono rising in the back, and looked down. Below, the ground seemed like a canvas splattered with color; flowers of all kinds blew in the breeze below. Tomoro gasped slightly; there was... something deep in the plants... and it looked like a purple crystal. Amethyst...?
There was indeed amethyst on one of the plants, and it looked about a mile away. Tomoro's eyes never lied. One of the... five stone things Kai was talking about.... Tomoro grinned, and without a second thought, swung herself over the edge of the cliff, climbing her way down on thorns sticking out of the ground. This place... looks pretty dangerous. I better be careful... my full strength hasn't regenerated yet.. Tomoro jumped when she reached the bottom, and landed squarely on her two feet, beginning to walk towards the stone, no matter how far away it was. Every thought left her mind except about getting that crystal.

Kai fell to the ground slowly, as though he was caught in time itself. When he hit the ground, everything went black and his eyes closed instantly. He soon remembered the day when his parents seemingly hated him for absolutely nothing.
~Flashback~
Kai ran up to his mother, smiling widely. He was about 7 years old and his eyes seemed to glow with his childhood innocence. He pulled on his mother's dress rapidly, "Mommy! Mommy!" Illyana, Kai's mother, sighed with disgust and shooed her child away, "Not now, Kai! I'm far too busy!" Truly, she was just sitting there...thinking of how to spend her money. Kai's heart shattered and he slowly looked down, "Oh..." He then walked up to his father's library, entering silently and seemingly gliding over the marble floor. The boy grinned widely, "Father!!!" He ran up to him and prepared to give the man a hug, but was instead met by a strong arm that found its way to his forehead. Audric, his father, growled and shoved his boy away, "Not now, Kai!!! I'm reading something!!! Now...go play with your friends..." Kai almost burst into tears right then and there, "B-B-But..." His father shooed him off, "Go now..." The young boy, before he was a healer, slowly walked out of the massive library, tears welling in his big brown eyes. He looked up and out of the window, noticing that it was raining. Kai sighed sadly and walked up to his room, wishing he was never born. He opened the giant oak door and walked past all of the expensive toys and gadgets his parents had bought him and layed down on his bed. He buried his face into his pillow and started crying...He kept crying, his pillow soon soaked with the boy's tears...He just kept crying...and crying...and crying...

Tomoro stopped, and touched the ground with her index finger, bringing it up and putting to the other finger, rubbing them together. "Poison...." she muttered, continuing to walk. The dark, surpisingly tall plants loomed over Tomoro, almost like a dark forest. "What the hell is this...? It was never here before." Something in Tomoro's gut told her that this place wasn't just filled with regular plants; something was evil in here. Nonetheless, she continued moving onward, refusing to cut any plants apart. Even if they were evil, she thought, then I couldn't kill them. They're plants. At last, Tomoro met a small opening, and hunched down, crawling through it. What seemed like a large room opened up to her; a dome of thorns, like the barrier she had conjured before. Once through the small opening, the plants seemed to seal behind her. There wasn't any escape. "What the...." Where's that amethyst...?
Near the middle of the dome stood a pure white marble pedestal, with a faded old red bound book opened up. Tomoro slowly traced her steps over to the podium, and stood on it, looking at the sights around her. It was... spacious. Bits of light shone through, and tall trees stood here and there. To be honest, Tomoro had no idea where she was, all she knew was that there wasn't any entrance now.

Kai's brown eyes slowly opened as he sat up, rubbing the back of his head where Tomoro hit it. He had a slight case of amnesia as he looked around frantically, "W-W-Where am I?..." He pulled his knees close as he tried to remember why he was at some strange school...and near its greenhouse. Tears came to his eyes slowly as he started panicking, "Why am I here?..." He knew his name and all of that stuff, the only thing he didn't know was why he was at this strange place. His eyes scanned the area, searching for someone to tell him why he was even there. The healer pulled his legs closer and closed his eyes tightly, burying his face in his knees and crying silently. Where am I?...Why am I here?...Where is everyone?...
((sorry about the short post sweatdrop ))

Tomoro gazed down at the book, her fingers scanning the pages. "Elmerede Saibinari...?" With a sudden jolt which caused Tomoro to fall off of the podium and dirty up her gorgeous new kimono, the plants shook and moved Northeast, forming a small pathway enough for Tomoro's delicate figure to move through. She looked at it, one eyebrow raised, and stood up, walking into it.
It was a long pathway, about 100 yards. At the end there seemed to be another small opening, yet another chamber. Tomoro suddenly heard a crackling sound, and looked behind her; the thorny dorm was already closing. If she was caught in between the thorns, she'd be sliced to death. Tomoro frantically began to run, kicking her boots off, which increased her speed tenfold. I'm almost... there... so close... A bright light neared the end, and it seemed as if Tomoro had been running for miles. She collapsed when she reached the very end, and pulled her kimono out just in time so that it wouldn't get caught in the vines. Holy... s**t... that was too close... "WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS!?" She yelled out as loud as she could, the scar in her eye blackening. Tomoro brought out her pistol, just in case anything funny came up behind her; she'd be ready to shoot.
((So... he lost his memory? ))
