Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reiko grunted as she hit the wall while glaring at Kelina again. As she fell off the wall, the red head landed on her stomach and got on all fours, biting her lip as the impact of the wall had hit the scar across her back. She was in too much pain to get back onto her feet. "(She doesn't have manners. Somebody needs to force her to cooperate.)"

Amu frowned and went over to his mother as Ethan softened the fall. "Why do you keep giving her so many chances, Mom? She's hurt and threatened you a lot since we met."

Eric ran over to Reiko and gently touched her back and removed the extreme pain she was in. He smiled to her.
"are you ok, beautiful?" he smiled and kissed her softly on the lips.

She took in several deep breaths.
"yeah....well...Josh.....the reason I didnt want to say it now....if Kingdom Hearts is gone, i'll be gone...im dying, Josh. Although I look healthy, its only because Listio is kind enough to give me energy. Heck, even this place we are in right now....its a safe guard, safer than even the academy. I used to live here one lifetime ago. It was the safest place."

She looked at Amu and ruffled his hair some.
"I wont hurt her back because thats what shes expecting. Ive seen her life thru her eyes enough times. Kelina, would you be kind enough to..."

Kelina's eyes were locked on Josh and she was able to move her hands around enough to summon her keyblade and to shoot darkness at him, however, the attacks never made it.

Dragons appeared from the floor and soon she was unable to move a inch.

"Grrr what the hell is going on, Kalena!?"

"I had a friend exactly like you, last time, Kelina, and every time she tried to attack anyone inside this mansion, or anyone for that matter, except for me and my father, they would be unable to move until your compleatly calmed down." she smirks slowely getting up.

"its pretty nifty eh? Im just not sure many places allow dragons inside, including the academy."

She just grones and rolls her eyes.



Inside X's dream world, a girl turned to Twilight. She tilted her head to him and she tried to speak but she could not. There were many nightmare creatures surrounding her.

Alex continued to watch over X, worried and frustrated he couldn't do anything to help.

Reiko was a bit surprised at the kiss Eric gave her, but nodded and stood up without any trouble now that the pain was gone. "(Yes. Thank you, Eric. I owe you one.)" She was blushing like mad.

Amu smiled at the hair ruffling. He pet Ash some and watched as the dragons stopped Kelina from moving. "That's pretty neat."

She gently sighed as she slowely sat down in a chair.

"Rena is the last mortal guardian, I embued some of my power to her when she was very, very young, as she was a very ill child....I never liked to see anyone suffering. She has to come willingly or her anger that she was forced to help us will turn crumble Kingdom Hearts, even if the other 2 guardians, Kelina with darkness and Eclipse with Twilight, cooperate. I bet she doesnt even know, though. Shes running from the people who need her, except one. She knows everyone here, except you, Josh. Even I can not force her to do to my will. Thats going to the darker arts." she sighs

He smiled
"no worries."
He gave that child-like grin that always made her blush even more.



X looked at Twilight. Upon further inspection, they were almost lifeless, there was no sparkle in her eyes.

She shook her head to him as she actually didnt know her name even then, as she was a nobody since the first few minutes after her birth.

Eric's trick worked as Reiko blushed even more. "(You're an expert in embarassing me.)" She hugged him again.

Amu watched his mother.

Eric smiled hugging her then nodded to what Ethan said.
"especially in her weakened state....and I am still without a keyblade....doesnt make much sence though....same timeline, different timestream, I had a keyblade right now." he sighed

She sighed
"Eric, you'll get your keyblade when you accept that you may never return to your timeline and unchain yourself from the confines of the darkness you have when your moody" she said softly.



Inside X's dream world, Xavior appeared as did a past memory. It was her only memory of before she was a nobody, of where her father stole her from her mother right after she was borne and her dad killed her mother just as she was about to give the baby a name, all that came out of her lips was 'x'

as the memory ended, she was hugging her knees obviously scared.

"A...a..al..." she was trying to say Alex, this also came out of her mouth as she slept.

She immediatly looked back at X and sighed.
"her memory must be haunting her. How can you give a name to someone who never was given a name."

Ethan looked to Eric and nodded. "Even if you don't have a key blade, you can still be a warrior, would you like a weapon?" Ethan offered, remembering where he hid some of his moon weapons.

Reiko looked at the rose dagger. "(It's both beautiful and well made.)" She said, tracing her finger along the blade, cutting her finger on it.

Alex arched an eyebrow. "How could she do that anyway? It's not like there's something to help."

Amu pulled on Kalena's hand before hugging it. He seemed pretty worn out.
