Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oof! *Than rolled over once when he was thrown in and takes a moment to just sit there before he hears Galette's voice. He's instantly alert and gets to his feet as quickly as his legs could do so, which was surprisingly quick for his condition. He glared at Galette through his single eye. He'd yet to really take note of Kaiori* I can stand perfectly well, arigatou.... *It was a bit of an over statement, Than's left leg being half paralyzed and forcing him to shift his weight to his right foot. Than was on edge and it looked like he'd welcome the chance to leap over Galette's desk and pin him*

*It only took the sight of seeing Galette stab someone's hand, much more than that Kaiori's hand, to make his blood boil. Stomping right over to desk and flinging the chair against a wall, shattering it, Than slammed his left fist down on the paper* How much of a stupid b*****d are you Galette. If I signed these papers I could just wait until that attack came and never say a word.... a well prepared attack could take you down. *Than threw the paper right off the desk. Galette clearly didn't understand Than's motivation.... so why would he leave the temple without fulfilling that goal* If you're really so smart you'd know what offers might make me agree.... but I'm not counting on you to do it..... *Than never took his eye off Galette*

*Than looked to Kaiori, noticing that she still would not look him in the eye. That saddened him, but his outrage quickly returned as he face Galette once again, leaning over the table with both hands on the desk and getting his face uncomforably close to Galette's* I'm not going to fall for that, Galette. Weren't you listening to me in the battle dome? You feed off of the will of others, stealing it from them. If you really want to know what I think, I think she only "says" she doesn't want to leave because you've made her fear what would happen if she said otherwise. Maybe you've just broken her spirit or maybe you've even gone so far as to say you'll put me through whatever hell you put her through if she said otherwise. I'm not fooled Galette. If you weren't pulling strings and chains, I believe she would do her best to get out. You have Pet-sama as well don't you? You have any number of things that could make her say something that isn't true. *Than backed his face away* Mark my word Galette.... I don't care what you or Gabriel do to me..... Kaiori-chan will get out of here. Pet-san will get out of here. And I will get out too. But don't think I'll stop there either..... *Than's wordy lecture to Galette, was more than anything an elaborate explanation of what he believed Galette was doing and a straight forward declaration that he is a threat to people like Galette*.......

((It's fine ^^ I knew it'd happen sooner or later sweatdrop ciao))

*Than let himself be dragged away. The odd thing was that he was grinning when he was taken away. When the chains drained his energy, Than grimaced and succumbed to sleep. He needed energy to keep his unstable aura contained. The only way to do that now was to shut down the conscious bodily functions. Than would sleep quite soundly, even though his mind raced with thoughts*....

*Than awakening sometime after the students outside his door had begun having their.... "discussion." Now, he was leaning against the wall by the door and listening for anything that may help him. He didn't have any method of escape right now.... but if he wanted to get anywhere he'd have to find Kai first. Than intended to find away to get closer to where ever Kai was. Perhaps, if he could find one of the students alone, he could get the information out of the student, both about Kai's where abouts and any secrets the temple may hold for identifying students. Than was nice most of the time, but from his father's end of his heritage, he could be a good interrogator if he tried hard enough*

Hmm? *Than blinked when the door slid open and a dead student partly fell in. At first, Than thought that the students had just been rough housing, but as he peaked out the door and saw everyone down, he knew something must've happened*?* Than stepped out of his room slowly and looked around. His senses were no longer hindered by Galette's magic. A more obvious inspection was that every student in the halls was dead* !!... *Than drew in a few sharp breaths. Even though he'd been a murderer himself..... he was easily stopped short by the sight of so many dead*...n...nan desu ka? *Than's hand trembled as he stepped over some of the bodies and started going from room to room. Just walking around in this pit of death felt like a sin upon his soul, like he shouldn't be treading over their corpses. His breath was shakey, feeling like iron claws were gripping his throat* D....Dou shimashita ka?...... *Then the obvious thought came to him*....Iie...... Iie....... Kaiori-chan!! *He yelled loud enough for the voice to possibly reach outside the temple. Without thought, Than began to madly dash down the halls and into whatever door was near him. He didn't care that he was trodding right onto the corpses..... he feared the worst for someone he cherished. It would take hours for the temple to be fully searched, inch by inch, by one boy*

=================

*When those hours passed, Than came to one of the few remaining doors and threw it open* Kai---!!? *Than had found Galette's personal chambers, and the man himself motionless at his desk, the same one where he'd watched as Galette used Kaiori's own blood to write some sort of contract. Than grabbed Galette's shoulder with his left hand and pulled back, causing the body to fall to the ground*......*Than looked at Galette, and even felt for his pulse in the man's neck. After seeing there was none, Than stood back up*....... I told you you were a coward and a fool...... *Than turned and walked back out into the halls. There were only a few doors left, and Than feared that in any one of them he could find his worse nightmare*

*Twi had recovered from his injuries by now. He'd finally decided to do what he said he would do and went to scout out the seven hells temple. He'd yet to discover its recent demise. Twi snuck through the trees that were near the temple's flower fields. With him, he carried Fuuenken, the sister blade of Zeno's Fuuraiken. What powers it held were yet to be revealed. From his tree top perch, Twi looks over at the temple in the near distance*...... No guards? *Indeed, he could not see nor sense any guards around or atop the temple as he had done before. Even the odd feeling of magic was gone from the place. Slowly, Twi got down from his place and started walking towards the temple*....

*Twi sighs* I must be getting paranoid... probably this place that does it *He shook his head and made his way out. It seemed that whatever had made the sound was gone... or he'd just imagined it. Twi left the temple, summoned his wings, and headed back to the BC. Again, as Twi left, something stirred within the coffin that was the former seven hells temple*
