Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuma's body just felt ablaze with her passion and seemed to need no coaching as it seemed to melt into his grasp. Her hands roamed Koas's back with no sense of control, trying to find a way under the shirt he was wearing.

Yuma couldn't hide her tears anymore and they dripped off her face onto the floor. "I love you too Koas, my bet efforts to stay distant just brought me closer and closer, and I feel it coming. I just want to stay here in your arms forever now that I have stopped lying to myself. I'm afraid Koas, afraid of going back and being unable to love someone like I love you now."

Vermillion chimed back; Your very welcome.

Yuma smiledopening her eyes and pulling one of her hands back to wipe the tears from them. "Alright, lets go, but i'll need my coat. Then we can just poof there or whatever you call it." Sorrow continued to try and make herself presentable not wanting to look all weepy in front of Chrono.

He took a bag off of his shoulder and sets it in Kaos's hands, "His name is Ian. He can't live without the two trees in the bag, but he can live with just one, so put one in Rodasia with your daughter, and one on Toole's property, okay?"

Kaos nodded and slid the bag onto his shoulder, "So... Where's Ian?"

Chrono laughed, "He's a tree sprite, so once you get his trees in the ground you'll see him."

Kaos smiled and walked through the portal to appear in his room at his house in Rodasia.

~A few days later...~


Anabel flew through the manor in her Sprite form with great speeds. she made it to the first floor in record timing, and just as she was about to dash through the door she was swallowed up by darkness and trapped in a small box. "What the hell is this!!!" She screamed as she mimed around the small enclosure.

Tsume moved his thumb slightly and smirked, "And where do you think you're going missy?"

She looked up and saw Tsume's black eye, "I need to go gather a few Sprites to go to Arynia and visit my son... you know i can't go unprotected!" she hissed as she tried to force her way out of the small opening he had provided.

Tsume shook his head, "You know you can't leave here... Lord Chrono would lose whatever sanity he has left if he lost you..."

Anabel began to cry, "But... I'll die if my son gets harmed.... I will... I'll become so sick from the trauma of not having my little Ian that i'll just die."

Tsume rolled his eyes and released her, "Fine, but be careful..." He opened his hands freeing Anabel from her little prison.

She flew up and kissed him on the nose before disappearing out the front door with a burst of wind left in her wake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once she got a good distance from the Manor she spread the news around the forest that Prince Ian was in desperate need of assistance in Arynia. Of course only a few sprites could recognize the language being used, only a small percent of the population still used the old tongue, but those who did gathered at the Arynian gate as soon as they could free themselves from their labors.

Anabel's eyes glistened at the support her son was getting, though the people had never met him. she flew back to the manor as fast as her wings could carry her and danced around Tsume.

He watched her cute little dance, but he knew what she was up to; he could see past her little disguise.

She batted her eyelashes at him and ran a finger down his chest, "Could you... be so kind as to... do me a favor?"

Tsume looked down at her with his usual cold, emotionless stare and grumbled, "You do realize your the size of my hand?"

She shot up to his face, her eyes blazing, "Do you want me to die!?!?"

Tsume rolled his eyes away from the heat she was producing and sighed, "Fine fine... i'll go open the damned gate, but you're explaining all of this to Lord Chrono when he returns."

She grinned and followed Tsume out the door, and watched as he opened the gates.

"Thank you Tsume," She chimed as she kissed his cheek and danced back to the gardens to continue watering.

Tsume closed the gate and grumbled the whole way back to the manor about how much trouble he was going to be in.

Tsume came up from the basement with a red towel slung over his shoulder. he tilted his head in confusion of what all the fuss was about, then Little Anabel desended gracefully to the ground floor with a smile, "Hello Vermillion," she waved shyly and scurried over to Tsume hiding behind his arm, "Who are these people?"

Tsume shrugged and rolled his eyes after looking down at her and seeing her big innocent blue eyes staring at the large group with fear.

Tsume brought his hands up to his head and gripped his hair tightly. he cringed and wrapped his wings up around hi as though he were being attacked, "I am not the ruler... I let the sprites go because Anabel was in charge of that, and she can get away with anything... Also, The sprites were never really dead. they were born here. if they die there, they'll just come back here... If you die there you're gone... for good."

Anabel stepped in front of him, "Basically, What Tsume is saying is that he can't make these decisions... he's not in charge, and the only ones who can decide is Akuma and Chrono... I'm sorry for the sudden misfortunes, but i doubt i could even get away with sending you all up there."

Tsume unwrapped his wings and sighed, "Only one."

Anabel looked up at him, "What? You can't even..."

"I will take one up there, but you will have to obey what i say, and return when i do. you may not leave my side, so choose wisely," Tsume paled slightly but stuck with his decision and went to retrieve his weapon.

Anabel stared at him stupefied, "He'll kill you..." Tsume continued walking. Anabel ran after him, "You know it and you don't care!?! Tsume!!!" her voice slowly faded as they got further and further away from the group.
