Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chrono noticed Sorrow and lost focus on Akuma for a second. Akuma decided to take advantage of the opportunity and swung low to knock him on the ground. But he knew and stepped back, then stepped on the blade, "Hey Sorrow, you only have five hours left so you might want to do whatever it is you wanted to."

Kaos finished lighting the last of his many candals he had set for lighting and smiled, "That's fine, he can take all the time he needs to adapt to this place." He stood and face her; he was wearing a cotton poet's shirt with puffy sleeves and an open v showing off his chest, dark brown leather pants, and his hair was tied back into a low ponytail with strands of his midnight blue hair remained in the front, "i think i have everything set for your massage, so whenever you're ready..."

Kaos pushed up his sleeves and placed a sheet over her. he called in a wooden stool and began massaging in a circular motion on her forehead then ran his fingers down her face and pressed along her zygoamtic arch. after a few passes there he worked his way down to her masseter muscle and circular frictioned there until it loosened to his liking.

He stroked along the side of her neck and stretched her pecs without going too far as to giving her northern exposure. he draped her left arm and petrassaged the bi and triceps then moved down to the flexors and extensors, finishing with a good ten minutes on the hands. he covered and repeated on her right.

after he finished that he moved down to her right leg and used deep efflorage and circular friction when he found a very tense spot. he did a few strokes on the lower leg, but not too many because of the shin. he brought the stool to the other end and did an hour of reflexology on her feet and then repeated his leg work on the left leg. after he was finished with the front he walked to the head of the table to find Sorrow sleeping.

He smiled and draped a thicker blanket over the sheet, then left the room for a half an hour to grab some tea. when he came back he lightly stroked the side of sorrows face and whispered, "Would you please turn over dear, i still have to get the posterior side of your body..."

Kaos called in two taller thickly padded stools to rest her wings on, and continued his work.

He draped the back and vigorously rubbed in the oil till it was evenly distributed on the back. he closed his eyes and let his hands travel to the parts of her back needing attending to. before he knew it an hour and a half had passed and he re-draped the back and spent fifteen minutes on each leg he got gave Sorrow a quick rubdown to let her know her time was up on the table and on the abyss and gave a light squeeze on her shoulder as he knelt down to whisper in her ear, "Thank you so much for staying with me. I hope your journey home is safe, and that you live your life to it's fullest. don't dwell on the past, because you'll have an eternity to do it here. learn from your mistakes and don't hesitate on anything, because you'll regret hesitating more than you'll regret the action you committed. and never forget this, when you feel alone i want you to remember the events you had here and remember that i love you yuma." he stood and walked into the kitchen to prepare two cups of tea.

Kaos smiled, "The tea is the perfect temperature, and it will help flush the toxins out of your body to make your transfer easier." his smile quickly faded as he saw his reflection in his cup, "Chrono will be here soon to take you back." he set his cup down and tried his best not to look sad, but was failing horribly...

He rested his arms around her and chuckled slightly at his behavior, "i'm sorry for being such a drag..." he took this opportunity to inhale deeply and take in her scent one last time. it provoked such deep emotions that it nearly brought him to tears and he backed out of the embrace before he really embarrassed her.

Chrono came in, "You ready?"

Chrono turned around and faced Akuma who was standing by Vermillion, "Go open the portal to Arynia. Sorrow's going home."

Akuma nodded and dropped of the edge of the island and flash stepped to the tower where she began to open the portal.

Kaos just stared in disbelief. he had finally accepted that he was in love with a woman, and allowed her into his life; the good and bad, and now she's leaving. he smiled to keep from crying and drank some more tea to keep from running after her.

Chrono was on to Kaos's movements and knew exactly why he was doing them. he walked up behind Kaos and rested a hand on his shoulder, "It hurts, doesn't it?"

"Yeah..." Kaos managed to make out from his tightening throat, "But it's where she belongs." he looked up at Chrono, no longer ashamed of the tears he's been holding back as one by one they began to fall, "She'll be better off there."

Chrono sighed sympathetically and shook his shoulder a bit, "You'll be alright, Kaos. She'll be back again." That being said he leaves Kaos to his tea and heads for the Tower.
