Rivera nodded slightly. She closed her eyes and let the stranged infused power in her mind flood through her. It was as if she functioned like a machine, despite the fact that she seemed of flesh and bone. She was... but sometimes, she doubted it herself... "Usagihana, come to the Art Studio, pronto." Her whispering voice seemed to echo with a metallic voice. There was a small spark as the message traveled through a magical link similar to a wireless contact system.
Within a minute, the door opened and a small robot entered. She was shaped like a black metal hound, with a long arching neck and a rabbit like head. Its feet were enormous and clawed. The long slim lion like tail swished back and forth with the whizz of mechanical functions. The LCD touchpanel that made up its face and eyes displayed two narrow, elegant red eyes on either side of its head. "I'm here, Rivera-san. Did you need something?" She bounded over the white marble floor lightly and gracefully with littly clinking taps. She leapt up on the last step and landed gracefully on Rivera's shoulder.
"I'm sending you an imitation aural database now." Rivera lifted her left hand towards her left shoulder. "Jontyure...." Wires loosened from the android and shot into her hand and wrist. Rivera closed her eyes, concentrating on the compressed aural file she had created by looking at the picture. It had the strong residue remaining on it from the girl.... Miyu, was that her name? And the cat was Yuki... with a warped presence in the flame, because she didn't not yet know of his existent presence.
Usagihana's LCD face panel lit up as numerics formed the visible composition of the aural database. "I have it."
Rivera nodded and whispered again. "Finier." The wires exited again leaving small spots of blood on her ghostly pale skin, like blossoming roses on a snowy ground. "Open the GPS and initiate GSS please..." She commanded. Usagihana's ears stood straight up, lit with lines of blue light.
There was a line of light traveling through her LCD panel, a faintly glowing streak in the background. After a few moments, a whirring sound and a bleep followed by the dying down of the whirring confirmed her match. "Target acquired. coordinate 12' 14" 22, 53' 2" 19, school campus setting."
"Please open the map." Rivera instructed Usagi. She looked at the LCD panel which located the fileshare window. The android was downloading a map from a guidebot through wireless connection. The map opened and scrolled to the appropiate position of the coordinate before zooming in. "Bingo... Yuki is a special cat... or it's just coincidence... but the target is moving towards out current location at a slow pace. Three blocks to the right of central ave, by the west side of the art building... that's the right of the courtyard just outside of this building... Usagi, show life support please."
Usagihana checked the aural settings again. "Life support is altered. I think there's a flesh wound...."

Miyu looked and listened intensely to Rivera and her robot. Miyu had never seen such a thing before. She was a bit afraid at first, but trusted Rivera. Miyu knew Rivera was to be trusted. She did not know how she knew, but she knew nonetheless.
When she heard the robot's words, 'I think there's a flesh wound', Miyu's eyes filled with tears and her heart with worry and fear. She feared the worst, but hoped, deep down, for something hopeful. She did not want her best friend in the world to die. Her world was her friend. Without Yuki, Miyu was nothing. Miyu was so close with Yuki that there was little of her as an individual. She had always functioned with Yuki by her side and could not bear to face the world alone. Even the day she was living now was uneasy and difficult for her.
Miyu shook the terrible thoughts she had out of her head and focused once more on what was happening. She realized that the robot had said she was approaching the building, so she ran to the door and opened it. Yuki was a short distance outside the door bleeding from her side. Miyu ran to her and picked her up. Miyu held Yuki close to her and then focused..
Miyu had practiced her healing and it would pay off. Miyu set Yuki down in front of her. Yuki laid down on her side, the side opposite to her wound. Miyu put her hand out in front of the wound. Her eyes closed and she focused. A light escaped her hand and the wound began to heal. A few moments later the wound was healed.
Miyu picked up Yuki and ran back into the building...

Rivera winced. She hadn't felt the distortion wave until the wounded animal entered the building. Now it was strong and sickening to her mind, painful for her strong sensitivity to the chaos continuum and all things chaotic. Although she had already been healed, there was still a strong chaotic residue on the creature, a mark that meant order had been disturbed strongly.
"Rivera-san, your mental stability is fluctuating." Usagihana was analyzing her life support now, "Do you need a stabilizer?"
"No... I'm okay." Rivera whispered, bracing herself against the chaotic energy until she was calm enough to put up a barrier against it. "I'm fine. Thank you. You can go now."
"I'm staying here. I'm not risking you going berserk." Usagihana sniffed, "You're worse than a rabid bear sometimes."

Miyu walked up to Rivera. She heard the conversation between Rivera and the robot. She was concerned and curious. Myu did not know what was conspiring between the two nor the reason for Rivera's discomfort. She asked, "Did...have I done something wrong? Is there anything wrong? Are...are you ok? I'm sorry if it was my fault. I did not mean to hurt you. I hurt everyone.." Miyu looked away in disgrace. She always blamed herself for the problems she witnessed...

"It's okay." Rivera whispered to Miyu. "I'm fine. It's not your fault... It's just how I was made." She looked at Yuki closely, then breathed gently onto the cat's face, so she could know her scent. "Allo there, Yuki-chan. You look all better--" She suddenly bit her lip. The chaotic energy was stronger than she thought, and leaked through her barrier. Stepping back slowly so it wouldn't seem like she was hurt, she looked up at Miyu and forced a small smile. "Your healing powers are pretty good..." Rivera changed the subject, "Miyu... I think that means... beautiful feathers, am I right? Or is there another meaning with the same pronounciation?"

Miyu still sensed a bit of uneasiness in Rivera, but trusted in her. She listened intently. Miyu looked at and replied to Rivera, "I'm not sure. My mother never told me what it meant." Miyu blushed a bit, "I would hope the meaning would be as sweet as beautiful feathers, though I do not know that it is. Your name.." Miyu thought to herself for a moment, "Forgive me, but I do not know your name nor it's beautiful meaning. Would you grace me with it? I would indeed enjoy to know." Miyu smiled as she stroked Yuki's fur as Yuki purred contently...

Rivera smiled. The only one who knew the true meaning of her name was Kai, who gave her this new name to start a new life with a long time ago... beneath the ocean... "My name is Rivencaira Aeryazure Cappella'acqu. The fortress over waters, in the Blue Air of storm, of the highest temple of water... My best friend gave it to me when we were younger. Now it's the name that I live by. I've discarded my first name already." Her smile was sad, and unatural... almost as if it were forced gently. There was only one or two person she could smile in front of without pain... and those persons weren't here.
"If you don't know it's meaning, you should give it one and believe in it." Rivera suggested. "That healing spell you did was impressive... but you can make it stronger and use less of your own energy if you bound your name and a meaning into the spellwork. That is how I do all my spellwork... Unfortunately... my name is long. You can just call me Rivera."

Miyu smiled. "I'm so glad to meet you, Rivera. It is a true honour. I haven't met too many people around Ria yet and I'm glad to add you to my very short list of people who I have met. I'm so shy that I hardly ever meet anyone new." Miyu sighed, "Oh well, I guess.. Binding my name, eh? Sounds interesting enough. I shall try it!" Miyu paused and continued once more, "Hmm...do you know of a good meaning for my name? Although I can be quite creative, this fails me! I've never given it thought before and would not know where to begin. I am skilled at healing and working on my white magic skills... Hmm..."

Kiyuto opened one of the double doors a crack, looking into the large Art studio. He smirked, stepping back as he kicked open a double door, posing in the door way like Super Man. The double door rebounded off the wall and hit Kiyuto, knocking him down to the polished wood floor. He landed with a large thump with his head, people nearby questioning his state of health. Hopping up he waved a hand to everybody, signaling he was okay, then quickly walked to the end of the room with an embaressed expression on his now red face.
He glanced past all the arts, eyes stopping on a large chunk of clay that was even taller then him. He nodded, pushing his hands into the clay to start forming it. He turned around when he heard someone giggling, taking a large chunk out. He quickly turned around, staring wide eyed at the large clay chunk on the floor. He picked it up and placed it in it's original spot, hugging the large clay statue to press it back in with his chest. The bottom rocked back and forth as he lost his balance. " Noooo!" he exclaimed, the large clay chunk tipping over along wih him.
The clay slapped on the wood floor with a large smack, arm and leg almost being crushed. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow!" he yelled, trying to pry himself from the clay and wood sandwich he'd made. He finally freed himself, climbing to his feet as he dusted himself off. He slowly looked up, seeing that everyone was staring at him. " I need inspiration! I'm making a pony!" he informed, climbing onto the clay as he rode it like a pony. "See?" he asked, shaking his hand as everyone slowly looked away. He smacked his head on the clay, glancing up with a grey forehead. He sighed softly, laying down on the clay as he watched everyone else working away.

Rivera thought for a moment, then stated simply. "Miyu is japanese for beautiful feathers... But it can also be a shortened version of Miyuki, meaning beautiful snow. You have to decide which name suits you the best and which meaning means the most to you. Passion is what will drive your spells to be strong." Rivera turned towards Usagihana.
"Usagi, can you please check my chaos level?" The reply was a simple bleep followed by a train of numbers on her LCD panel. Rivera looked at the scrolling numerics with scrutiny. Her eyes shifted to pale green-blue, surprised at what she saw.
"It's dropped since yesterday morning. Would you like to adjust it?" The small android asked, her LCD panel returning to the usual glowing eyes.
"No." Rivera shook her head, "I was hoping it would be lowered. All the better... I want to see how well she heals, and she can't heal a chaos entity if she has any trace of white magic."
Usagihana twitched her ears, "Don't keep it low too long. You know what would happen if you stay that way." Rivera replied with a nod. Usagihana sighed wearily, "I don't care if you know what's going to happen. You usually ignore it anyway... reckless girl..."

Miyu thought again, but still out loud, as Rivera spoke to her robot, "Beautiful feathers is beautiful indeed, but maybe beautiful snow would fit me better. But who am I kidding? They both fit equally. Snow is pure. Snow is frozen water and water cleanses and refreshes. It renews a spirit. But feathers...feathers could mean an angel. Angels are good, pure, holy.. they hold similar qualities to that of snow and water. Both names are equally good. Such decisions I must make!" She finished her out loud thinking as Rivera finished speaking with her robot. Miyu looked at Rivera, "You are so helpful, Rivera. Thank you." Miyu smiled. "I will have to think about it further, but now I have a good direction."

Rivera nodded. "When you are in doubt, choose both. Two names are stronger than one, if you believe in both of them." She stood straight, her eyes turning a light silvery-white color. "Try believing in both of them. I am very interesting in seeing how you heal." She undid the buckle on the sleeve of her jacket and revealed a bandage on her wrist, which she unwound. "Usually, it is nearly impossible for a normal healer to heal me... there's an exception in my energy levels today, so it may prove to be easier than usual... it will still be hard. I just want to see your level." As she finished, she unwound the entire bandage to reveal an array of slashes. They were from the last star test. The wounds weren't very deep or severe. They didn't even look like they were more than cuts from glass. It was the chaos entity that she was that made it difficult to place an incantation on her. "Usagihana will be monitoring your progress. I will analyze it and tell you how much improvement you have by focusing on two meanings than none."

Miyu, with a new foundation upon which to build, focused hard. She closed her eyes, held her hand out in front in the wounds. She spoke to herself in her head, 'Remember to focus...remember to believe...remember what Rivera said.. Focus now focus! Mother was different...she helped me become what I am. She knew how to help me because she is like me. She's special, strong, and powerful and so am I. She named me that way, too. She named me Miyu because that's the type of power that's inside of me. I have the power of healing, a strong power.. my mother knew that and she gifted me with it.. Oh mother..how I miss you..' Miyu refocused herself. She repeated to herself in her head as her light of healing escaped through her hand, 'Beautiful feathers, beautiful snow...'. More powerful than ever, she began healing Rivera's wounds. When it became too much for Miyu, she ceased. When she opened her eyes, the wounds were ...

Rivera closed her eyes when she felt the healing magic seep into her skin. She could hear Miyu's mind singing with the song of her own name. It was quite pleasant to listen to poetry of this sort... so beautiful... She could feel her existence slowly melt away...
Usagihana suddenly nudged her, forcing her to stay focused. If she lost her concentration and her grip on the chaos continuum, she could lose her chaotic level completely and be consumed by her own power. Miyu suddenly seemed to have stopped. Rivera opened her eyes as well and looked at her wound. There were thin scar lines that were barely visible on her skin. Some slashes were still unhealed. She was impressed.
"You have a high potential..." She looked to her robot, who was analyzing the wavelengths on her LCD panel. "The energy level you gav6e off was a 9.5 out of 10... impressive for a first time binding with your name." She smiled as she wrapped up the bandages. There were more wounds on her arm sharing the same bandage. She still needed it. "Five healers from the hospital tried to heal one of my wounds jointly and they didn't phase it."
