Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shizuo nods happily before hugging Rai.
"That'd be great dear."

Shizuo taps his chin in thought before shrugging in defeat. "I want to taste your favorite dish."

Finally, they have arrived at the manor, which was announced by James before he exit the vehile and opened the door for everyone to exit.


Scarlet hears a car pull up in the driveway so she slowly begins to make her way over to it, knowing full well by the smell that it was her brother. "Hello brother, did you have fun on your trip?"


Natsuki looks over at Scarlet as soon as he got out of the car and had heard her voice. "Scar?"


James gently takes Scarlet's hand and leads her over to the group that had just piled out of the car, being at gentle as possible and taking his time so he wouldn't rush her.

Shizuo shakes his head as he chases after Rai, leaving Natsuki, Scarlet and James by the car. "I meant your favorite dish to make you big dope!"


Scarlet smiles brightly as she holds out her hands for Natsuki to take. "Natsu-kun...is that really you?!"


Natsuki takes her hands gently as James follows Shizuo and Rai to the house. "Y-Yes...'tis me...my have you grown Scar...you look beautiful!"

Shizuo turns back to the group and tilts his head to the side as he watched the two blush constantly as they spoke to each other, Shizuo was beginning to wonder if Natsuki might like his sister...he would approve for sure. "C'mon you two, lets go to my office."


Natsuki looks over to Shizuo, still holding Scarlet's hand tightly. "Roger...but I gotta stop by the bathroom first."


Scarlet follows her brothers voice and nods with a smile, willing to go anywhere her brother preferred.

Shizuo nods as he waves Natsuki away when they get inside, knowing that he could find the bathroom without issue since he has been here before.


Natuski waves at them before walking away, waiting for them to turn the corner so he could go where he actually intended to go. With a frown, Natsuki goes in the opposite direction of the bathroom towards the kitchen. "Time to play with Shizu-chan's precious pet."


When Natsuki parted from her, Scarlet took her brother's arm and followed him to his study. "Are you sure he still knows where to go brother?" She hears her brother chuckle lightly and assumes the movement she felt after was a nod and a shrug. "Natsu-kun has a good memory, but if he doesn't remember, I am sure he will do just fine finding the bathroom then us...there are servants all around the house to help him." She nods, still unsure. "I suppose you are right."

Natsuki glares over at Rai as he crosses his arms and leans against the door frame of the kitchen. "I am just trying to figure out what Shizu-chan could possibly want in something like you...he hates your kind with a passion. And to add to that...you're a slave that he bought in a shitty hellhole...I don't see your worth at all."



Scarlet frowns when Shizuo sits her down in the chair where he normally sits behind his desk. "Brother...I have a bad feeling right now...about Natsu-kun and your friend Rai....something isn't right with the way they act around each other."


Shizuo shakes his head as he pulls up a seat from the other side of the desk next to hers and sits down. "I am sure it's fine sis...you worry to much is all."

Natsuki lets out a low and feral growl, his glare becoming more intense. "Let me tell you something leech. When I was younger my parents had died on me and I was stuck in a crummy home in the forest that happened to be right behind Shizuo's manor, this manor. One day, Shizuo himself went into the forst to hunt with his father and stumbled upon my home where I found him shivering on the porch. I knew the area very well so I took him home with ease. Over and over again, I would find him on my porch and we would talk before I took him home once more. We became close, until one day, his father died and his Uncle was so angry that he didn't get the title as head of the Ken'nichi clan, that he sent Shizuo into a slave shop and put his younger sister in a mental facility. I started poking my nose where apparently it did not belong when I went looking for him and his Uncle did the same to me as he did to Shizuo. So where was I when he was being sold into slavery you ask? I was right there with him, and as for him being raped? It had happened a year before I had met him. So you have no damn right to judge me you fool."


Scarlet frowns as she tucks a strand of hair behind her delicate ear and thinks about the past suddenly.
"Brother....I never asked you....that time that Uncle sent me away...he sent you away as well didn't he?" Scarlet was unsure if it was wise to ask since she didn't know what had happened to Shizuo when they were seperated, but she had always wondered if he was treated as badly as she was, or possibly worse.
Shizuo turns his attention away from his work and focuses it on his dear sister who was fidgeting in her seat with what he presumed to be nervousness. With a sigh, he takes off his thin-framed glasses and sets down his pen.
"Yeah sis...he sent me away too." Scarlet nods before tucking another strand of hair behind her other ear, deciding to press on with her questions, even if her brother were to get angry for her asking so many.
"Where did he send you?" She hears another sigh from him then a rustling sound as he leans back in his chair.
"He sent me to the same slave shop that I found Rai at...I was soon in and out of different homes and different shops almost every week." Shizuo watches as his sister's expression becomes one of horror and as she covers her mouth.
"T-That's awful! How could he do something like that?!" Shizuo shrugs.
"I was in his way and to him you were a blind girl who had no use...what he did was bad yes, but to me...that is nothing compared to how afraid I was of what he would do to you....I was afraid that he would....that he'd...."
"Violate me?"
"Yeah...that...when I found out what he really did with you...I was angry yet relieved, he didn't harm you...but he did lock you away."


James walks through the halls with the Young Master's daily agenda tucked under his arm, his silver hair shining everytime he passed a light. When he turned a corner he noticed the Kitchen maids abandoning their duty, and of course, as the Head Butler in this Manor, he immediately heads their way to fix the issue so that the Young Master is not disappointed. "What do you think you are doing? You have duties to tend to, there is no time to dally so return to the kitchen post haste!" A girl shakes her head as she points to the door.
"But...Master Rai asked us to step out and not come back in until he says...he wanted to have a private conversation with Master Natsuki." James' eyebrow twitches as he becomes clearly annoyed with Rai at the moment for giving orders he was in no position to give, even if he was the Young Master's current toy. "He did what now?"

Natsuki tackles Rai to the ground with a growl, already in the form of a massive white wolf, all of his tattoos still printed on his fur. "Die!!"


James hears a crash and a loud yell from Natsuki before telling the girls to stay back and quickily entering the kitchen to keep the two from tearing each others throats out. With one swift movement, James pulls Natsuki off of Rai and steps in between them both. "That is enough! There will be no fighting in this home! Did you not even think about how much trouble the both of you are going to be in when I tell the Young Master of this?! He will absolutely be disappointed in the both of you! Especially you Natsuki, you are his childhood friend and he worships you, I even expecting more from you! And Rai, stop causing problems for the Young Master, he hasn't the time for it...both of you just get along for the Young Master's sake!"


Scarlet smiles as she clutches the necklace that was given to Natsuki a long time ago before she went blind. "I want to thank you again brother, for getting me out of that place, I was beginning to believe them when they said I was crazy." Shizuo nods, forgetting for a moment that she was blind before sighing and rubbing his eyes.
"You are my sister and my responsibility...I put you in that situation, it was my duty to get you out of it."
