Welcome to Gaia! ::

The door opened, and Aurora stepped into the shop quickly, brushing off snowflakes and shivering a little bit. "Stupid cold weather."

SHe didn't look behind her, tugging off the jacket as quickly as she could, and then the hat, and the gloves. All three were pushed onto a table, before Aurora turned around. And stared at the others. Some she knew, but some of them were new. And a boy walked past her with a dagger?

"Um, hi!" Aurora called, scratching her head.

Ura's attention had been on Zanna, who had her attention on him., when Kami arrived. "Ho woah.." He jumped when the door opened close to him. His body slid to the left, his mismatched eyes a bit wide but more over the over all brightness of the small girl. Wow, that was a lot of pink and in such a bright hue.

His body continued to inch left, trying to escape the attacking door and then he halted when the other teenager entered the room. A grin spread across his face, his eyes closed some as his head lowered a bit. He leaned into the wall more and looked into Aurora's direction, "Well, hello Aurora... it's been a while, ne?" Urahara replied to her cooly.

The pink blinded her as well, and she sneered at the putrid, ugly colored girl. Didn't this girl understand that while her colors were good for riding bikes on the highway at night, they were rather unpractical otherwise. And damned ugly too.

Her eyes flittered to the redhead once more and notice that his attention had been captured by another girl, a teen Simu. She had stole his attention from her. b***h. Zanna's eyes darkened as she made a mental note to teach that meddling girl a lesson when she grew up. Teach her to stick her dirty mop into her own business.

It was only when she turned her head away from the redhead and MopHair did she notice the winged boy sitting next to her, or rather on the same couch as her. "Where'd the kid with the knife go?"

Kami, spying Aurora come in the door and looking at the door in time to see the other almost seemingly red and black teenager was heading for it. Moving nimbly out of his way, she turned to watch Aurora and the red haired teen whom she didn't know his name.

"Hi, Aurora!" She chiruped happily to her friend. Obviously she was still in the grasp of her childish innocence, a certain glow about her. Not knowing what Zanna thought about her, she probably wouldn't care if she had said it to her face. She blinked at their words though.

"..a dagger?"

Aurora went a bit pale for a second, then red flooded into her cheeks as she stared at the other teenager. She hadn't noticed him there! ...he still looked just as good as ever too. "Uh... Hi, Ura! um... yeah it has been... and... um... how are you then? Hi Zanna."

Then she heard a happy call from nearby, and Aurora turned to look at the little girl. Kami always reminded Aurora of a bright flower with ribbons attached. "Hi Kami!"

Urahara couldn't help but smile more as he watched Aurora's reaction to him. He loved how he made her jump and blush, it was almost intoxicating how much power he had over her. And for a quick moment his gaze lingered on to Zanna but quickly back to the curly haired girl near him. "Oh, I'm doing rather well..." Came his reply, as if nothing at all was going on. He leaned his head back against the wall. He finally pulled one of hands out of his large coat and brought it up the the nape of his neck and pulled his tail of red locks forward.

"How have you been?" He finally asked the other teen, his lanky digits playing with his red hair absent-mindly. A thought suddenly crossed his mind but he quickly pushed it back; he could ask her a bit later about Itsuki .. it was far too much fun playing with Aurora than to get down to business.

Aurora went a bit redder when she made him smile, her mind whirling with semi-panicked thoughts. She still stared, and then went even redder again when she realized she was doing so. The waiting for his reply seemed to take years, and years...

"I'm great! ...I mean, I've been great." Aurora replied, managing to keep the squeak from escaping. "Um... yea, great. I'm glad you're doing well?"

She sat down nearby in a chair, reminding herself that she had to breathe. Now. And now... and now... Aurora twisted her head back up to him, and gave him a smile back, even if on the inside she was freaking out even more.

That smile seemed to remained plastered upon the teen's face and a satified gleam hit in his eyes. Ura was having way too much fun, oh yes, the way she stammered around him.. it made his heart sing.

"So.." He started, inching his way closer towards her. The pause continued, as he tried to think of something to talk about. Well, he could question her on the reason he came to the shop in the first place. She might know about this connection anywho. "Well, Miss Aurora ... you seem to know a lot about our kind." Another pause. He raised his hand to let his index finger tap upon his chin, still trying to think of the right words.

"Is there significance that my necklace was tied around a mirror?" That seemed like a good question. Itsuki had said thats how their items were before beind sold seperatly and chiri had remembered something of that nature when he had asked her.


Andn ow he was moving closer, and he was still smiling and still looking! Aurora went over those few details in her head, trying to find some meaning to match his actions. It wasn't working very well, her mind too busy being numb to think.

"So." Aurora repeated, and looked away. Should she have done that? "I... maybe?"

He complemented her! ...Was it one? Aurora couldn't tell. And it took her a few long moments to get her mind around his question, and finally, she answered with a very intelligant, "Um," followed by, "Well... I guess... no one knows? They both had a really... really strange feeling when you looked at them, like, they both ... could give you the same feeling, like they were connected...?"

The smile finally dissolved from Urahara's face and was replaced with a frown from her response. She didn't seem to know after all. Damn. He watched her all the while, his brows scruntching together in mild confusion on what she was even stammering about. Well, he got it in the most part, he was well aware of the feeling he gave off towards other people. But, it wasn't the information he was really hoping for.

"Um." He replied in a same intelligent manner as the other teen. "That wasn't really exactly what I was referring to." He paused and took a deep breathe. Well, he'd probably have to explain it another way. "I met the boy who came out of the mirror that my necklace was wrapped around ... and, there seemed to be a connection.." a pause, "I could feel one.. something deep." Another pause, but more for a response from her. Ura's gaze rested on her and almost bore into her. He wanted to know what it all meant, dammit.

"Oh." Aurora went redder still, if that was possible, feeling it creep down her neck. This wasn't fair! Why couldn't she think? "Uh... well, they both had the same feeling when you looked at them, they gave that feeling like they were connected. And when we found them, they were together, and when we found them it was really strange." Aurora shivered a bit, the memory of it replaying in her head. "Like it was dark in the room, but it wasn't, and they made the room feel evil. But when we seperated them and moved them to different glass cases, they didn't make the room feel as evil. But I don't know, maybe there is a connection?"

Evil, huh? This made some of Urahara's smile return to his face. He was exactly sure why, but it made him feel estastic to be called evil... especially by pretty girls. Probably some power tripping, or some little reassurance he was actually tough. And her continuous blushing helped make him feel a little better all the while.

"Perhaps.." Was all he could think of as a reply. Maybe he'd have to talk to someone else, or maybe things could straighten out in time.

And now he was smiling again! Aurora relaxed finally, letting herself lean against the back of the chair and flop. "I'm sorry that I can't tell you more." She told Ura, carefull to not look at him for fear she'd tense up again and go red again. "But you know that now?"

It was funny though,Aurora thought, how she didn't mind that his necklace was evil. It almost made her heart race even faster, and gave her the idea that the 'Girls like bad boys' thing had to be true. And another thing kept nagging at her mind... a feeling that grew, and grew, the more she relaxed.

"Oh, no no.. It's fine." Urahara sighed, waving his hand to pass off her apology. "You gave some helpful information... hopefully things will be answered at some point." He smiled more warmly, or at least as warm as he could actually get. The teen turned his head towards her, his gaze boring into her again, willing her to look at him.

"Okay." Aurora replied, not quite surei f she should or not. SHe didn't like her odd feeling, which was less flustered and embarrassed now, and more pure attaraction... wasn't that a bad thing? SHe twisted her head sideways to look back, brushing the curls out of her face as she stared up. That feeling, combanated with the crush and her 'He's so cute!' thoughts...

Aurora flushed again, but it wasn't from embarrasment. She wasn't sure what it was, and jerked her head back down to look at her lap. It wasn't a issue of trying to fight embarrassment now... she had the really uncomfortable feeling of wanting to stand up and kiss him. One more glance sideways at the other teenager, and Aurora felt her self control slipping, her feet moving so that she started standing. She found herself walking over there, and kissed him. Hard. He really didnt' have much say in the matter!


Urahara's gaze lingered upon her. He simply watched her, as her gaze kept trying to escape his. He watched her actions, the way she brushed her curls out of her face and the continued flustered nature he put her through. He had to admit, it was rather cute but more, it made him feel like he had some control.

But.

He blinked, watching her raise from her chair. She was coming closer. What was she doing? His mismatched eyes widened with every inch she closed between them. Oh gawd, what was she doing? His paranoia suddenly kicked in and for the time being he loathed the trait he picked up from his guardian. His froze, his back straightened against the wall he was leaning on as if trying to find some way to go through it and escape. What-

And then the kiss.

Brain functioned stopped.

Everything was hazy and cloudy, and actually kinda nice. Sure, he really had no idea what the hell was going on and no idea how to react. His body suddenly relaxed against the wall, his eyes closed. The idea of kissing back crossed his mind, but .. his brain was too dead to really react in any way.

Aurora didn't notice his rection at first, her hands holding onto his sides as she pressed closer with all of her body. But the other half, the half that Aurora felt was more Kia kicked in and reminded her of something. He wasn't kissing back.

That half took voer then, and Aurora stumbled back, eyes wide and her face going a rosy red again. "...I... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that, it just ... it just took over! I'msorrygottagobye...!"

An then Aurora ran out of the door.

Rora meets up with Adrian.

Apparently, there were supposed to be some type of hotsprings around here, or so said that whore of a guardian who got laid way too much. He was bloody tired of hearing them at it every single night! Huffing lightly, he found the springs with a proud grin as he darted into the only building that he could see. Like hell he was going to undress in the middle of the ******** snow.

The teen had been itching to swim ever since he had appeared at the beach, and to tell the truth, swimming sucked as a necklace. It was hard and it took a lot out of him, how much though he did not know the extent.

Once inside, he quickly stripped his clothes down to a pair of loose fitting swim trunks that were rather carelessly hanging low on his hips. Adrian even eyed the water for a short while before diving skillfully into it and coming back up to the surface with a shake of his wet hair.

The water was warm and it was satisfying, and the teen felt rather at home there, as if naught could knock him from his proverbial pedestal. And with that thought, Adrian took an unneeded breath and dove back under the water, opening his eyes and gazing gleefully at the fake coral.

He was home.

Aurora padded out of the small Villa Neith had hired, glad to be allowed to stay for another few weeks. It'd been more Kia's idea, of course, and Aurora didn't mind spending two or three weeks pampered in a hotal-like-place with hot springs.

She was wearing her complementary white robes, and slippers, the chill cool air somehow getting inside the cozy fabric and making Aurora shiver. She wasn't wearing much underneath, just a bikini that she'd found in a shop. Apparently, it was fashionable in some exotic island...

Of course here, it was just plain stupid. But it didn't matter, Aurora was heading for hot springs anyway.

She dropped the robe on a frosty deckchair, kicked the slippers off and gracefully dived into the warm steaming water, not noticing anyone else around. Aurora let herself sink to the bottom, and relaxed there, while her long loose hair drifted around. It was peaceful down here.

He heard someone dive into the water as clear as day, his eyes turning and spotting the source with a crooked smile, it was the girl from the other day, in a bikini. The grin grew widered with that noticed trait, but then faded in confusion when she just kind of, stayed at the bottom of the pool. Didn't she need to breathe?

In fact, now that he realized it, he had been underwater for a good amount of time as well, and he was breathing fine.

Adrian blinked in the confusion. He could breathe underwater. ******** yeah he could do somethings with this.

Finally coming to his senses, the teen began to swim down towards the other Simu at the bottom, stopping only when he was directly in front of her. It was then that his hands came smoothly around her bare waist, eyes watching her closed ones for any sort of reaction to his touch. "Hello there beautiful..."

Funny, his voice sounded just as normal to him underwater as it did above water, wasn't there supposed to be a difference? Apparently not, and so he simply smirked smoothly.

Aurora's mind drifted lazily, as she pretended she was lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, in naturally sun warmed oceans, the water crystal clear and aqua around her...

She heard movement of water, but it only made Aurora think that she was imagining the sounds of the distant waves.

Both eyes flew open when she felt hands on her waist, and Aurora stared up at the teenage boy from before. When did he get into the pool? Aurora couldn't remember hearing any sort of splash! Unsure of what to do, Aurora's hands drifted down his arms, as she went a bright red. The talking underwater barely mattered to Aurora, the strangeness of that seemed to go right past her. She stumbled, "Uh... hi... Adrian," as one hand flew to the bikini top to check that it wasn't loose... or something.

"Relax..." His lower voice smoothed through the water, and though her twitchyness was amusing at times, it did tend to get annoying. Brushing that fact aside, Adrian gave her a warm smile in attempts to relax her. "So you can breathe underwater as well? Perfect..."

Allowing his hands to ride a bit lower on her hips, he tilted his head and continued to speak, "So can I... The water's quite, intoxicating really. Much better then the cold don't you think?" So now he was trying to calm her down by talking about the water, all of what he was saying being true, and if she could breathe here as well, then she may think the same way.

He leaned in closer as he spoke, but not too close as to seem invading. That won't come till later, and he'd let her do that on her own. All he'd have to do was tempt her just right and she'd be puddy once more, so he slowly began to rub his thumbpads over the front of her hips in a comforting motion as he waited for her response.

"You just got to imagine what it would be like." Aurora replied, trying to conenctrate on her illusion of being surrounded by the warmth of tropical water. But it was so hard, and Aurora could only swallow and breathe out slowly as he pressed her against the rocks.

She flushed a deep red again, that wasn't what Aurora had meant to do! ...at least, she thought that wasn't what she meant to do, right now, Aurora's mind had gone fuzzy and blank again. Wriggling ever so slightly where she sat, Aurora nodded without thinking about what that'd mean. After all, he was cute.

Aurora stared up at him, unable to think of what to say next. They were close enough now, all she'd have to do was lean foward and she could kiss him...

His hold on her hips loosened as he trailed his fingertips lightly up the length of them till they were under her arms, and then he reversed the motion back down to her hips, where Adrian's black hands found it comfortable to rest.

When she nodded he smirked, taking it as a positive sign to continue on with his plan of seduction, so with the tilt of his head, Adrian leaned foreward and pressed his lips to hers.

He wasn't overly gentle, but nor was he careless and rough. Every motion of his lips was planned and calculated perfectly, and ******** he was most definately enjoying this. Closing his eyes, the teen pulled the other teen as flush against him as possible, arms and hands adjusting to the position change needed.

He had decided. Kissing in water was much hotter than kissing in air. Period.

Aurora shuddered visably, her arms wrapping loosely around his neck, hips wriggling underneath his hands as she tried to clear her mind. Nothing was clearing, and her idea of prehaps kissing him disolved away quickly, as his head lowered closer to hers.

She leaned up into the kiss, unsure at first about how to do it, so she let Adrian take the lead. Aurora's instincts soon kicked over though, and she returned the kiss with incressing passion, something that she'd never done before... yet it seemed to be coming naturally, as if she'd once been an expert at this.

Tearing her lips off his for a second, Aurora stared up at Adrian, 'breathing' slowly and heavily. "...wow..."

Adrian felt the shudder, smirking somewhat into her lips as he kept up with her increasing passion, surprised as well that such a spastic girl was suddenly a pro at it all. It had come naturally to him as well, but he was more confident in it from the start, maybe it was just the male libido, which was currently kicking itself into full gear with him at the moment. Not that he minded, he was damn well enjoying the heat of it all.

When she pulled back he opened his lids, obsidian eyes catching hers as he caught his breath as well. "Mmhmm..." His darker hands were rubbing along her bare back, to keep busy as he continued to pull her smaller frame against his.

Leaning in again, he took a few quick nips of her lower lip before pulling back again with a murr. "Tastey and beautiful..."

Ha Ura... top that.

Leaning in again, he took a few quick nips of her lower lip before pulling back again with a murr. "Tastey and beautiful..."

Ha Ura... top that.

Aurora let him pull her closer, too busy taking him in and being lost in the endless depths of the dark eyes to resist what he was doing to her, or to think about what it might mean later...

She even pressed into him, but the hands were making her more and more relaxed, her own hands now drifiting down his bare back and coming to rest at the small of Adrian's back.

Aurora didn't respond, only pressed her lips against his, wanting to feel that again. Her body also pressed into him, slipping a little as wet skin met wet skin. Aurora only responded to that by wrapping her arms tighter around Adrian, palms pressing into his back.

It was his time to shiver when Rora moved her hands to the low of his bare back, pulling the two of them closer together. One of his arms wrapped around the other teen's waist, pinning her against his solid form while his free hand moved up her back, finger hooking around the string to her top. He smoothly tugged at it until it undid, the top not budging due to it being trapped between their bodies.

Lust drove him on as he parted his lips more, tilting his head to the side in order to deepen their kisses as Adrian's palm flattened against the skin on her upper back.

He was no longer thinking of the seduction plan, instead moving with and following the lead of his hormones, thinking with a completely different head than before.

Aurora by now was barely aware of anything but him, her top's sudden looseness going unnoticed by the teenager. Her smaller body wriggled slowly, writhering against his, hands massaging the wet skin slowly.

Opening her mouth a little bit more, and welcoming Adrian's hot kisses, Aurora leaned back slightly, the top slipping away into the water and drifting away from them. She didn't notice or care, hands slipping to his hips and carrassing them slowly.

Adrian groaned when he felt the added flesh on flesh, hips pressing to hers out of his primal need. With things heating up, Adrian began to move the two of them down to the flattest part of the 'sea floor'.

The water was making him even hotter for her, and he was very glad that noone came around here. He had no cares except her and him, and what was to happen and was happening between them.

The teen let things happen naturally, for this was something he didn't want to speed through.

Later....

Afterwoods, and after a hunt for missing pieces of clothing, Aurora lay back on the surface next to Adrian. She felt exahused, as if she'd run some sort of ... race, or something! But then, Aurora wasn't exactly fit.

Unable to think of what else to do, she leaned up on one arm and boldly leaned towards him to kiss his lips, shifting closer to him to cuddle one of his sides.

"Was... was I ... okay?" Aurora asked, unsure. She hoped she was, because she'd read all the articles on it! If they didn't help her, nothing could.

His eyes stayed closed as she kissed him, a low murr coming from his throat as he leaned up into her lips somewhat, his arm coming instinctively around Rora's waist to hold her against him. She was warm and it felt good to have a woman pressed against him like this.

That didn't mean that he was in love with her or any of that bullshit, just that he was currently satisfied.

With her question, Adrian opened his eyes halfway and brought them to hers as he yawned lightly, listening to her question before chuckling. "You worry too much... It was better than okay..." In fact, it did feel like that it wasn't both of their 'first times', but it had to be...right? "Was that your first time?"

Aurora lay against his side, resting her head on his chest and listening to his breathing. Her eyes drifted upwards, watching the surface of the water above them for a few moments. The motion made her midn blissfully blank, although Aurora felt the first stab of something. She shoved it away, deciding she was more than happy to stay here.

Nodding, Aurora answered, "I... must have been, so yes, it was."

She didn't tell him though, that during it, she'd felt nothing like innocent. In fact, Aurora had felt like... like she knew exactly what to do. Quietly, Aurora asked; "I'm... staying at the villa, while Kia moves out of her house... do you want to stay the night?"

Adrian nodded as well, smiling lightly when he heard her response, making a silent tick mark in his head before leaning down and brushing his lips against her forehead. "Mnn... A house, all to ourselves? Sounds absolutely perfect..."

His voice seemed to grow lower with each word of his last sentence, a low playful growl leaving his lips as his hand moved south and gave her rump a quick hold, using the flesh to pull her closer.

Suddenly something hit him, and he had a flash of X pregnant in his mind, causing him to shudder slightly and scowl at the idea. "Um... beautiful? You are... on the pill... right?"

Oh dear gods he didn't want to end up like Jack.

"Yea... and she's even paying for room service. Neith is, anyway." Aurora replied, waiting for his lips to leave her forehead, before she turned her head slightly to kiss his neck gently, one hand drifing across his bare chest again.

Grinning, Aurora stopped her carresses before they started something else. If he was staying, she'd need energy for later as well.

Aurora tugged back, blinking a few times. She hadn't thought of that... and she did NOT want to look like Kia. Fat, moody, eating the strangest foods... "Um... well... no."

Adrian went a bit pale. Oh gods. He made a quick, yet very heartfelt prayer to whatever gods were listening before giving her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry... We're probably safe... Best use the goods later though..."

He sighed, condoms weren't exactly the most comfortable things in the world, but he could bare it if it meant no pregnant Rora running around giving him orders about food. Like ******** he'd be a pregnant woman's slave.

"Want to go now so we can dry off? Then we can try it... with a bit more gravity... Oh yeah, and race ya!" He gave her a cheeky grin before releasing her and pushing off the bottom of the pool to towards the top.

Aurora wasn't too happy at that moment, already starting to freak out over hte idea. She'd loose her figure, and she'd eaten so little, and worked so hard for it! She COULDN'T get fat right now, she just couldn't!

His grin made Aurora relax, and she grinned back. Gravity... that would be a fun test! She'd have to try it... but he'd not beat her! With a hard kick, she was swinning after him for the surface. Lost in a wall of bubbles, Aurora could barely tell where he was. She surfaced, and gasped for air as she tried to adjust to breathing that. It always took a bit of time, but the steam helped.

Then she turned around, seeking out Adrian.

His head had popped out of the surface just before hers, due to his headstart and added height, coughing roughly as he attempted to get used to the breathing condition change.

When he finally did, Adrian swam over to the edge of the pool and pushed himself out with a growing shiver as he hunted out his towel, grabbing it and immediately using it to dry down his body as best as he could.

Adrian turned to her just as he was toweling off his messy hair, eyebrows following his form in whatever she did. Like he was going to miss a free peep show? Yeah ******** right.

Aurora watched him rub his body down from the warmth of the water, lingering as she gazed at the cold world around them. It was always hard to get out. A cold wind swept across the pool, casusing Aurora to duck back into the warmth of the water.

Horrible cold.

But she did finally climb out, arms wrapped tightly around her waist as she headed for the dressing gown taht was waiting for her. Aurora tied it tightly around herself, slipped on the slippers to keep her feet warm, and padded over to him. "Come on... I'll show you where it is."

Looping her arm around his, Aurora led the way to the warm heated villa that was nearby. She opened the door, let him in, and the second she'd shut the door, Aurora was pulling off the dressing gown again and reaching for a towel. It was warm in here, after all!

Before she could drag him out entirely though, he reached out and scooped up the rest of his clothes, shivering the entire way to the villa, where once inside he gave a sigh of relief as he leaned back against the door.

Indeed, warm was much better.

As Aurora went to towel herself off, he reached out to stop her, taking the towel in his own hands and drying her off with it. It was a sad excuse to cop a few more extra feels, not that she was exactly pushing him away or anything. This would make him seem sweeter, and then she'd stay with him longer, which meant more sex for him.

And hell, that was something he wasn't going to risk at the moment since she was the only teen he had met so far.

Aurora let out a long slow breath, when he started to towel her down. She had no objections to this, his hands felt good on her. And she got to be dried!

"That's nice." Aurora whispered, when he came close enough to hear. She was just itching to kiss him again now; anyone who'd be sweet enough to do this for her deserved a kiss. Then she remembered her hair, and felt a stab of fear. Would Adrian think less of her if she wasn't perfect looking? Aurora had read too many magazines, and she'd started to think that the perfect ones got the men...

To distract him from how imperfect she might look, Aurora took the towel and started to dry his damp skin, her hands rubbing slowly in a massage more than an attempt to dry.

Adrian's eyes halflidded as she began to return the favor, even more so since she was massaging him. Ura took too long and worked too slow it seemed because this girl was like puddy in his hands.

Reaching down, he let his fingers trail through her wet hair before leaning down and capturing her lips in a not so light kiss, pulling her into him mid her drying him. He was aching again and she seemed to be willing and able, all he had to do was touch her and she was ready. It was the perfect situation.

Aurora shivered, and leaned into Adrian as she was pulled up, kissing back hard. She was going weak again, and there wasn't any way Aurora could resist it... not that she currently wanted to. It was like being drunk on him, and Aurora found herself wondering what being drunk ... was like. But it had to be like this.

This time, Aurora was the one to undo the knots at the back of her top, pressing into him still as she ran a hand down his back, Aurora's breathing already speeding up.

Then she tore away, staring up at him, making sure she and he were thinking the same thing.

He simply grinned before delving back into her lips again, hands travelling downward to her waist as he picked her up and against her.

Adrian continued to kiss her as he made his way upstairs, where he guess the bedroom would be, making sure to be mindful of the stairs and doorways with her.

He had a feeling this was going to be a long, sleepless night, and the thought of it made him smile.

By 6pm, Aurora was wide awake and unable to force herself to sleep longer. So she got up, tired and grumpy, heading straight for the kitchen and the chocolate powder to put into milk. She was breaking the diet she was on, she was splurging on chocolate milk!

Aurora wasn't even sure why she was feeling so grouchy. She sat on the couch in the living room with her milk, and it was only then that Aurora remembered...

She MIGHT be pregnant!

And she was moody, and she had craved chocolate milk just then, hadn't she? And... didn't people get moody and crave bad things? And they felt sore, didn't they? She felt sore! Aurora wailed in her mind, as the craving for chocolate milk grew stronger. And... was that an ache in her back?

She was going to end up like Kia! Fat, moody, stealing food, glaring at people...

Aurora made her way backupstairs, and as she went, another thing popped into her head. Something that made her feel three times as bad as she had earlier, while she was writing the diary entry...

Ura had been waiting for her yesterday evening, when they'd said they'd meet... and she'd been busy. With Adrian. Aurora sank onto the step, guilty, panicked, and feeling pretty bad. She'd have to go find him later...

Rora goes to see Ura, and ends up in a bigger mess than before. @_@

It'd been a few days, and apparently, no one in the house had noticed the new residant under the staircase. It didn't help though that Rora lived practially alone now, since Kia had moved back to Neith's house.

But, in Aurora's mind, it helped a great deal, having no one around. She hadn't called Adrian, either, even though it'd been three days since ... well, since. She hadn't even opened the package, it sat untouched in a corner.

She just had to order grocerys off the internet, and eat instant food. It wasn't like she LIKED food anyway. Food made her thicker, and thicker had to be bad. Because if it wasn't bad, then how come all the cool people in those glossy beautiful magazines all were thin and good?

It all seemed to make sense to her, anyway, and Aurora's ideas weren't exactly challanged by the teenage magazine. And this magazine had plenty of good ways to keep fit, and get strong.

And that was exactly what Aurora planned to do, she wanted to get strong. Soemthing kept nagging at her, and she wasn't willing to stay the way she was. The way Kia's body was... and Aurora had mimiced THAT body. That stupid body, that was weak. Sure, it might be great if you had a boyfriend, but what if you didn't?

"I hate Kia." Aurora muttered for the fourth time that hour, plucking at the long dark blonde hair, glaring at the curls that were almosti dentical to Kia's curly hair. "And her stupid blonde hair."

She made her way the few steps to the computer, and switched on the internet. She'd do something about her hair color, and she'd look less like Kia! Then she'd do something about being less physically like Kia as well. And she'd walk in the dark, because she wasn't scared of the dark...

It didn't seem odd at all to Aurora to have a sudden urge be not like Kia.

"L'Oreal... isn't that popular?" Aurora muttered, waiting for the computer to load the front page. "Shimmering color... that sounds nice."

While she waited for the page to load, a popup add advertising a Medertarian cruise flashed in front of Rora. She would have closed it... but something made her 'Get away from self' urge ache even more. Maybe she'd steal some money from Neith... not like Neith's fiancee wasn't loaded anyway... and head over there.

"Ok. I have... dark blonde." Aurora poked at the screen, watching the sahde selector pop up. "But I don't want to go red, or blonde! ...but red is kind of cool. ...oh, Auburn dream is nice, but I still want brown hair. Ok. ...that's IT. Mocha is so pretty!"




The next day.

Aurora sat there, staring at her recently darkened hair. It was strange to see her with the color, but Rora kind of liked it, this strange 'French Roast' brown. She liked the change, Aurora liked not looking like herself. She was tempted to cut her hair as far as her shoulders, but the most she'd managed was to her mid-back... by that time, Rora had chickened out.

She picked up the phone... and then realized Adrian had written his phonenumber in greek. Aurora was slow sometimes. Just like Kia. She dialed it, and without much conversation, asked Adrian to come over. When Aurora hung up, she grinned with a shaky grin. He'd HATE her hair, probably. Good! Boys sucked anyway. And after this, she'd go talk to Kia about going to Greece... Kia was weak and all, but she might know how to get some money off Neith easier.

Aurora squeaked happily. She LIKED being rebelous! She had to do it more often! Maybe she'd even eat an entire piece of cake!

And the entire time she'd been doing this, Ura had been forced out of her memory. It was all 'happyhappy'...

Rora's new hair. o.o

Aurora jumped, and almost dove for the dark safety of the little cave she'd made for herself.

But then, she remembered that she was HAPPY, and brand shiny new, so what was she scared of? Right? Grinning, Aurora made her way to the door and peeked out of the peephole at Adrian for a good minute... he was already stirring up emotions, ones that confused Rora. Again. The guilt though, that she ignored.

Opening the door, Aurora smiled brightly at Adrian, as if she'd never been upset in the first place. "Hi!"

He liked it!

...and she was slightly dissapointed.

But Rora ignored that, reaching out to take one of his hands. As always, when she was around Adrian, she started to go a little less outgoing, and more subdued. Tugging gently on his hand, Rora told him, "Of course you can come in... I needed to see someone."

She let go of his hand, and went inside, leading to the couch. She hoped he wouldn't notice teh staircase room... because then she'd have to explain why she was living there now, and then she'd have to think about THAT, then she'd feel all kinds of feelings... and that wasnt' waht she wanted to think about. Aurora just wanted to be around someone again, who seemed to like her. In a way, anyway.

Aurora looked back up at Adrian when she sat, waiting for him to sit as well. "Um... I wanted to say sorry for trying to knee you."
