Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No..."

He walked in and placed the flier on the bed next to Taki and silently walked back out.

"I have a question, you think tomorrow youll be able to get me and Koori here?"

"O'Conners... O'Conners... He's that crazy guy who tired to steal Masamune. I thought he was dead... I was hoping to get going before school, but now I changed my mind. I want to observe this "meeting". Your a... friend. Id hate for you to die... Especially a death by zombie. Cause you would be a hard zombie to kill. And if the kid survives... Id curse your sould for the rest of eternity."

He placed a hand on Takara's shoulder and walked past her.

Takara stood, having just spent about an hour in mental conference with her spirit beast. Now that she knew Mr. O'Connors was the one who wished for her and her child's death, she at least had her suspicions confirmed. Though now there was the problem of keeping the baby safe, and hopefully manage to stay alive herself as well. She had no intention whatsoever of leaving her baby alone, and would anything she could to avoid that. Kana opened up a portal to her house, and nodding to the panther and Nissin, Takara stepped through.

Daishi's momentary sleeping spell wore off once he was no longer close by, having never been much of a spellcaster. It also didn't help that Takara had stronger spiritual powers than he did, so his spells had less of an effect on her than others. Stirring, Takara's eyes slowly opened as her mind rebooted, trying to recall what had happened. Everything hit her like a brick, and she looked about, wide awake. She noted she was being carried someone and from what she could see of the room, she assumed they were in Ahnthros' fortress. Turning her gaze upward, she saw Kyosuke and tried to get back on her feet, wanting to find out what had happened. Her voice was calmer than earlier, yet there was still the layer of worry beneath it.

"Kyosuke, how'd we get here? What happened?..."

Takara looked around, almost willing Tachi to be here even though she knew he was far away, too far for her to sense him.

"That was Daishi, my brother...And I am well aware they would've tried to kill me...possibly even succeeded..."

She took a seat upon a nearby couch, burying her face in her hands, trying to collect herself as she breathed in deeply. She had to think clearly and figure things out.

Takara reluctantly nodded, she knew Tachi could handle himself, though it was hard for her not to worry. She had to trust Tachi on this and concetrate on staying alive. She prayed, hoping he'd come back to her safe. She sat back and rested her head on the cushions, closing her eyes as she willed herself to calm.

"You're right..."

Kana stepped into the room, having felt her presence and sat down on the floor by her leg, purring comfortingly.

He'll be fine...

Just then, Daishi appeared in the room next to Kyosuke, his aura hidden and his movements silent. He had always been good at sneaking into and out of places, gathering information and such. He softly spoke to Kyosuke, careful not to attract Takara's attention, not wanting to worry her further. His words were simple enough and knew they'd be understood. Daishi's expression was grim, his dark-blue eyes contemplative.

"He's in Hell..."

Daishi critically arched an eyebrow, keeping an eye upon his sister.

"Who would this be and what help can he supply?..."
