Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Shiko continued to dodge his attacks::

::Chiiro growled and caused the sand from the stream to shoot up::

::Shiko quickly made the sand change directions to go straight at Chiiro::

::Chiiro got pinned by the sand spikes to a tree::

::Shiko stand up and smiled::

"Chiiro you have not trained much stare "

::Chiiro growled and broke the sand spikes::

"I'm not half human am I? Learning techniques take a longer time for me!"

::Shiko shrugged and balanced on the smallest rock in the stream::

"I'll tell you what..I'll balance on this rock."

::Chiiro growled and striked at Shiko::

::Shiko dodge the attack easily::

::Chiiro continued to try to strike at her but fail. She has perfect balance like always!::

"Or..We can do things my way and I can use your weakness on you"

::Shiko eyes widen and kicked Chiiro in the stomach::

"We leave my weakness out of this!"

::Chiiro got up weakly and growled at Shiko::

"Half human..Always a half human's weakness"

::Shiko stand on the little rock with one leg. She glared at Chiiro::

::Chiiro went behing Shunketsu and very quiet and carefully put a claw close to Shunketsu's stomach just enough for Shiko to see::

::Shiko growled and jumped on and ran on the water as fast as possible and grabbed Chiiro. She picked him up and threw him into the water. Shiko then ran into the water, *thinks* Damn him!!!*::

::While underwater, he watched Shiko's feet until the right moment. He grabbed her feet and in a heart beat he was in air with Shiko under him::

"Come on Shiko! How are you going to get out of this? Pretty sad a small dragon can beat you!"

::Motoko smacked her head. This was getting out of hand. This was bad. Oh well.::

"Shunketsu, are you alright? Anyway, I think that I should try to stop Shiko and Chiiro."

::She jumped into the water and tried to separate the two.::

::Chiiro continued to lift her high in the air. They where to the point where no one could see them::

"Shiko I know you cant do anything right now! So stop being friends with humans!"

::Shiko managed to shook her head::

::Chiiro growled and let Shiko go::

::Shiko eyes widen as she saw the ground get closer *thinks* Dammit! almost all of my chakra is gone!*. The stream came closer. Shiko did a few hand seals as the sand started to come up to stop her fall, the chakra had not fasten itself onto the sand good enough. Shiko hit the water.::

::Chiiro flew down and landed on a rock. He was now worried. Shiko did not have enough chakra! He though she would have enough to stop herself!::

::Chiiro jumped up and flew over to Shiko::

"Is she okay?!"

::Shiko was concscious but she could not open her eyes. She felt weak all over::

::Chiiro grumbled::

"Shiko needs to understand her own limits.. Not me..She is always trying to push herself"

::Shiko coughed out water, she was shaking all over and her arm was bleeding. Shiko opened her eyes and stared at the wound. She grabbed a cloth out of her pocket and tied it over the cut.::

"Do not blame me Chiiro..You keep trying to force me to become a dragon!"

::Chiiro stretched his wings::

"That is because...You rely on your human blood to much and you never try to become a dragon! Kotoro is right! You are afraid of becoming a complete dragon! You rather spend time with your friends than your family!"

::Shiko tried to stand up to prove to him that she is not afraid but fell::

::Chiiro growled at Shunketsu::

"You know nothing about dragons! Shiko the dragon inside of you showed you about Kotoro's past..All of ours! You saw your real mother and father in there didn't you? You saw Kotoro as a young dragon trying to live and stay away from humans! Shiko, soon or later you are going to have to decide where you want to stand..Your mother chose the dragons."

::Shiko was about to rest, but anger and stress took over her. She got up quickly even though she was terribly weak and walked away::

::Shiko looked away and closed her eyes. She then nodded and sat down on a rock next to the stream. Shiko watched it sadly::

::Chiiro sat next to her::

"Shiko I'm sorry. But you need to decide soon"

::Shiko nodded::

"I know, but how can I choose when everyone and everything is against me all the time? Why can't I just stay as a half blood?"

::Chiiro shook his head::

"Kotoro is resisting not to hurt you to much because you are dragon and you are his sister. However, soon or later he will take one of your blood types away. He wants you to become a dragon. But you want to be half blood."

::Shiko nodded again, she felt weak all over::

"I just do not know what to do anymore..I feel like my very own soul is being torn to two different places. To be a dragon means I would have something I never had before. But to be humans means the same. I never had a family and I never had friends. How can someone choose between them?"

::Chiiro sighed and looked away::

"Kioki chose to be dragon because she saw what is going to happen to you. She knew that if she tried to be with you, you would die instead of her. For some reason half dragons cannot live with another one alive as well."

::Shiko tightened her fist::

"So Kioki died becuase of me. that is why my father left me!"

::Chiiro shook his head and jumped in front of Shiko::

"No! He left for more reasons!"

::Shiko stared at him::

"Then tell me why!"

::Chiiro looked away::
