Welcome to Gaia! ::

Drake stopped shakeing when Kai-chan hugged him. He had liked her in the past as a young and now he loved her now. He hugged her back, she smelled nice. He heard the song that Kaida was huming, he had heard it before. He began humming it with her. When it ended he said: "How did Mr. Hiroshima die?" He hadn't been informed about anything that happened over the years. He felt Kai-chans soft skin, her white hair as well, he felt her heartbeat, and his heartbeat in-tuned with hers. He has changed in those brief moments.

Drake heard what Kai-chan said, he frowned. "Sorry." He really felt sorry, he had hit a nerve. When she pulled him away from he still had his slight smile on. "You don't remember?" He brought his hands to her shoulders. "You guys always came over! Where do you think you were headed from?" He smiled, he thought Kai-chan had remembered being at his house all those times. He looked Kai-chan in the eyes and said: "I love you, I always have." He says as his hands move down from her shoulders to her hands. He held them up together at chest level.

Drake looked down at Kai-chan's and his hands. When he heard his words he looked up quickly. He had guessed this might happen. "Well, ok. Let us start over again." He smiles, hoping it works. He then looks over Kai-chan. He looks her in the eyes. "I don't know where to start." He then does something that is very sudden, something that even he knows he doing. He leans in closer to Kai-chan and kissed her.

Drake back off from Kai-chan after the kiss, he too blushed. He didn't know why he kissed her. He looked at Kai-chan again, he did like her. He shook himself out of the mind set. "Right back to business." He clapped his hands to gether above the water. "It is really easy. All you need to do is check the money, going in and out of the vault, which will be in the same building. To check prices on certain things that will be bought and sold through out the business. You will have three assistants, who are all vouched for. You can hire who you want, but they will have full backgrounds done." He looks Kai-chan in the eyes. "That is pretty much it. Your salary will be agreed upon once we get back to Tokyo, full package." He shurgs, and shakes his head.He then points his finger at Kai-chan. "But you will have to keep my true name and where I live a secret!" He looks down at his knees. Then whispers to himself. "And watch out for bullets."

Drake realized what he said. "Bullies! It was a smell slip of the tongue!" He didn't think she would hear it. He waved his hands back and forth in an 'X' formation as he talked. "Its ok." When she said she needed to finish school. He moved right next to her and brought his hand around her shoulder. "Most of the men that work for me haven't gone thru high school, a few not even middle school." He tried to shrug but really couldn't. "I try to help them out with a little cash here and there.No one else accepts them. That is why I need some one who can think on their feet, and being from the country side you will bring a new pair of eyes to the business." He looks at her again. She looked beautiful with the steam of the hot springs moving around her. "And I know a few places in the city with grass and garden roofs. I live in one of them!" He moves closer to her, so their legs are touching. Her skin was soft, softer than silk. He wanted to kiss her again but he remembered that this was business.

Drake nodded repeatedly. "Ya I know. You are not like those guys. First off....." He reaches with his other hand to her chin and slowly turns it towards him. "....You're beautiful than them and second off I want you to finish school! You will be so much more helpful! You will have more of an insight on the bigger things than almost all of the men!" And then he brought his face close to hers, so that their noses were touching. "And take as much time as you want! Right now nothing is really happening! All there is, is casual business which the paper work is already done for!"

Drake smiled Kai-chan looked cuter every time she did some thing. He slipped his hand from her shoulder, he didn't want to annoy her with it. He did stay close to her, he felt somewhat safe around her. 'She is so nice, so peaceful.' He kept their legs touching, her skin was so soft. Then he nodded when she talked about how the hot spring. "The natural ones seem to fog up peoples brains. Like a drug almost!" He made a little laugh at the last part. Hot springs seemed to make people more relax, even if they were as tight up as could be.

"Ya, ok! Sounds fun!" Drake said as he followed suit with Kai-chan. He got out right after her and grabbed his cloths as well. He changed his cloths and walked back to back pack before he realized something. He had squated and put his underwear in a plastic bag, and he checked his bag for an extra pair of boxers, he didn't have any. "Ato." He said when he realized it. He looked up to Kai-chan, back to her normal cloths, and smiled saddly. "Guess I am to go commando!" He said jokingly, hoping she wouldn't be disgusted.
