MOOD: AGGRESSIVELY CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
As Xinara caught up to him, Xigukamo continued to lead her to the Castle's training room. The room was just recently built and could withstand a beating. Xigukamo knew that because he has been in there a couple of times and left behind nothing but slashes across the walls that should be ripped apart. Alright, we're here. He said while opening the door and walking in to see his "art". Close the door behind you Xinara. He told her as he walked to the center of the room. This is the training room. We'll draw your power out here. I sensed the light within you.. Tsk. Xigukamo's lighter activated a small mechanism with just a tight grip. At the bottom of the lighter, a small stinger appeared and he simply pricked his palm. His blood rushed into the blood gauge filling it up quickly. The gauge began radiating a light red color and reacted by summoning thin strands of blood around Xigukamo. Use the light to fight my darkness or I will cut you down. The thin strands began to collide together and made his trusty weapon. Shinya Garo, the blood blade. Prepare yourself! From where he stood, Xigukamo pointed the blade in the direction of where Xinara's heart would be.
Xinara continued to follow Xigukamo and they entered a room that reeked of energies. She looked around to see walls marked by the fury of energy that was released here... Some of it belonged to Xigukamo, she recognized his scent. Some of the energy within the room belonged Xiao and another... She could distinguish their signatures. The room was broad and mainly empty, save for some weapons and equipment off to the sides... She obediently closed the door as she then made her way to the center to join Xigukamo, her gaze attentive, fixated in his. He then explained her power would be discovered here, he had sensed her light...
Upon finishing his sentence, his grip tightened on the strange lighter he held and there appeared a small sharp point on its bottom, which he used to p***k his palm, filling it with his blood. She watched him, and her head tilted a little, curious... It was strange, and dark... to her, it tinged and thickened the air inside the room... she watched as his blood took form as a blade, and pointed it at her. She kept her eyes on his, hearing his next words.
Use the light to fight my darkness, or I will cut you down.
She remained serene and unphased by the aggressive tone in his voice, and the weapon he held, promising her violence and harm. Her palm still grasped the small chain in her hand. She closed her eyes as his words echoed in her mind.
Use the light to fight my darkness...
Use the light to fight my darkness...
Use the light to fight my darkness...
She concentrated, and her senses sharpened to all the energies surrounding her. Light, and Darkness...
Use the light to fight my darkness...
Use the light..
Use the light
Use the light.
She could feel the warmth of her aura... As well as the firey violence in Xigukamo's. She focused first on harnessing her aura. She willed the light coursing within her, to travel outward from her body. She could sense the energy flow through her. It moved from her blood, through her bones... traveled to her muscles, then gradually the light came visible as a bright, soft glow on the surface of her skin and clothing... Her will expanded the light to reach out... The warm energy gently began to caress the atmosphere... The old energies that had stayed behind in the room from the others, seemed to neutralize as the light radiated through those forces. The light seeped into the walls, and the other weapons and objects around the room, touching and offering tranquility and relief to the the violent energy within as well as the fury in the slashes that Xigukamo had imprinted on them.
The light then reached and touched the weapon Xigukamo held against Xinara. It began to run from the point of the blade through the base component that it was made of, the blood that made the weapon, caressing the darkness... Through that darkness, that connected Xigukamo to his weapon. The light continued flowing, expanding, traveling deeper as it began to reach within Xigukamo, offering warmth... competing against what the darkness inside Xigukamo offered.
Xinara remained still, peaceful, with her eyes closed, in front of Xigukamo. Never raising anything against him.
Xigukamo... lower your blade...
she thought serenely, not comanding... It was a coax of energy. She willed him, with every fiber of her being.

OOC: Using light energy to manipulate... She's trying to reach Xigukamo's spirit. Either one thing or another, she will either succeed in having enough control (as her light is practically just coaxing) to calm him down, and quiet the flare of his darkness, and get him to lower his blade (achieving in her method of manipulation) or the light that touched him will aggravate his darkness and cause the opposite effect. (That's the other way she can manipulate... Using it to her advantage and try to run him out of energy)
One more thing, to consider though! She's not telepathic. X) she's not using her thoughts as a voice inside Xigu's head. It's just what her vibe is inviting. Yet if her power grew, then maybe one day she could get in people's minds... If she had the ability to reach through to touch their spirits, why not their minds as well?
MOOD: AGGRESSIVELY CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
Xigukamo watched as Xinara formed her pure and everlasting light. He had to admit, it was very beautiful.. Some form of art that can counter his darkness. The while training room was filled with a light and easy feeling, something to calm the nerves and relieve stress. He watched as the light touched his blood blade, slowly making its way into his nonexistent heart. He closed his eyes and suddenly remembered a very special memory from before.
~ Memory Flashback ~ Venturing around the stores in Radiant Garden, the young Kougami patiently waited for his friend to show up. She was very dear to him. As a matter of fact, he loved her but didn't have to courage to say so. They always played together at Merlin's house, learning new magic, reading books, and mainly getting to know each other better. She was his light and he was hers. One day while reading a book together at Merlin's place, Kougami asked her a certain question. Hey Modoka-chan~. What if one day I suddenly forgot about everything? This town? Merlin?... You? He frowned. For some reason, Kougami felt like something bad was going to happen very soon. She angrily looked at him and flicked his forehead in a playful manner. Baka! How could you ever forget about us? Hmm? HMM? Modoka noticed that her friend was troubled so she comforted him with a tight hug. If you ever forgot, I'll do everything I can to help you regain your memories okay? Now let's finish the story of winnie the pooh! Kougami blushed at his friend's answer and nodded. Then suddenly a pool of darkness flooded into the room. It slowly made it's way to Kougami and Modoka. He couldn't speak or move. He felt helpless. The darkness swallowed her up first and left him to suffer. So you want power to save your friend? There is only one way... Embrace the darkness! The voice was cold and frightening but Xigukamo obeyed it without question.
~ End of memory flashback ~
As Xigukamo opened his eyes, the wall that faced his back swallowed the light and slowly began to fill the room. The light that touched his blade shattered. His eyes appeared to be the same, calm but howled with relentless darkness. I'll admit you almost got me there kid. That's very impressive but that won't help you when you fight. Xigukamo rushed towards Xinara with lightning fast speed. Before he was face to face with her, Xigukamo disappeared and reappeared behind her. Fight or be engulfed by darkness. He pushed her gently towards the other half of the room where the darkness lingered. It was now or never. C'mon kid, I know you got it in you. Fight. Xigukamo looked down to the side and realized how much Xinara resembled his friend Modoka. He felt pain and sadness from his nonexistent heart.
((OOC: okay okay, i gotcha. As you can see, the light manipulation caused the opposite reaction c:< but since Xinara triggered him to have that flashback, its going to reoccur more and more but with each flashback being different. I made it that Modoka was simliar to Xinara so that he'd be a little more nicer than he is now. har har har ))
She could sense the light faltered, as Xigukamo had chosen to hold on to his darkness. She had sensed something... Different about Xigukamo, it was what had caused the darkness to flare up inside him... The light faded into his weapon, and Xinara opened her eyes, feeling the raging flame in Xigukamo's darkness, his aura fighting back, slowly beginning to consume the light in the walls.
Then did she feel Xigukamo rush her and push her to the other part of the room where the darkness had begun to spread, fighting viscously against her light. She could feel the energy wrap around her... The darkness continued to consume the light... It weighed down on her from all directions and squeezed her insides... The darkness burned... Xinara gasped and shivered...
In counter reaction, her body tensed, too shocked, paralyzed, to run to safety. her light intensified to the point it burned brighter... fighting back, causing more energy to leave Xinara... The violent clash of the auras for the atmosphere was heavy... Droplets of sweat were visible on her forehead, and she breathed.
She couldn't move... and she watched Xigukamo from afar on the other side, as the darkness then completely clouded her from view. The darkness swallowed, compressing the light. Somewhere in the dark, Xinara had kept pouring out, causing the energy to pile up more and more. As the darkness deepened, the compressed light grew stronger... Xinara refused to give in to the darkness. The light shines brighter in the dark. And even more intensely where it's darker.
The light energy that was bottled up within the darkness, began to leak out from the clouds of darkness, until Xinara felt there was an overload of energy she couldn't hold, and she yelped in pain feeling the light finally burst forcefully and break through the darkness.
She had been too tightly compressed. The room exploded in a sudden flash of light, and it faded away, to reveal Xinara's face flushed, her gaze on the ground, but with her eyes closed. She had fallen on her knees, panting, and shivering. The darkness had affected her. That burst of energy had materialized in her right hand, as her weapon, radiating with the energy she had channeled. A keyblade.

OOC: Aww...Poor Xigukamo. He was so overwhelmed by the light that it made him remember how he lost his light... It hurt him. But at least he'll be nicer now.
As for Xinara, like, when you shake a bottle of soda. X) too many bubbles formed and compressed, until, BOOM. And explosions always hurt, of course. But she's fine. She just needs to shake it off.
The only real damage she took was the darkness attacking her. Since she has a lot of light, she's sensitive to darkness, it burns. Xigukamo didn't feel her light burn him not because it wasn't strong (because it is) but because once upon a time he had light. He's been exposed to it.
MOOD: AGGRESSIVELY CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
Xigukamo payed little attention to Xinara as she battled the darkness. She really did get to him even though he said she didn't. He felt uneasy. Modoka... He thoughts began to overlap with her name several times. If someone were to look at him now, they could see the sorrow in his face. The failure in his silver eyes. Was it wrong to use the darkness after remembering that the same darkness took someone dear to him? He quickly snapped back to reality and used his sword to cover his face from the blazing light. The room was still and quiet. The tensions between the light and darkness subsided. Xigukamo's blade slivered back into strands of blood then back into his lighter. He looked over at Xinara with a small smile. So, that's her weapon.. A keyblade. He walked towards her slowly with his hands in his pockets. Nice job Xinara. You were able to bring out your power.. Your weapon. I think Kamo was right.. He stuck one of his hands out towards Xinara to help her up. I think you are a super star. His facial expression was serious as ever but behind his cold eyes was a tint of kindness. A tint of bond but ultimately, a tint of respect.
((OOC: I like how our character's bring in the idea of psychological damage from the light and darkness. It makes ya think and it makes the posts a whole lot better. I liked how the light effected Xigukamo and how the darkness effected Xinara. It's truly a beautiful bond of opposites what the two have going on c: ))
There was a balance in the atmosphere... Xinara breathed deeply, as her light illuminated, taming the shadows, fading them away completely from her aura. Her body trembled, pulsating with energy. She opened her eyes in awe and shock, as well as confusion, feeling Xigukamo approach her, hearing his voice nearer, she lifted her head and looked up. Her knuckles were white, as she gripped her keyblade horizontally that rested on her knees. His aura was still dark, but she could sense there was something else. She could see it in his eyes. They had 'changed' again.
He reached out to her. She flinched instinctively, she could still feel the darkness in his aura as he came closer, but she reached for his hand anyway. Upon their hands touching there was an electrifying current of energy that seemed to shoot up her arm through the rest of her. Their energies had contacted again. Only this time they didn't fight each other, they connected. She felt that 'something' that she saw in Xigukamo's eyes, realizing it was not one, but a mixture of things she was not able to recognize.
"Xigukamo...? What does it mean?"She asked. Responding to all things at once. Questioning his words, the weapon in her hand, and what she saw in his eyes. The only thing she knew was that she had made contact with the soul behind those eyes. Beyond the darkness.

OOC: Great minds think alike. ^_^ I love this!
Well actually I was thinking those entities of light and darkness run deeper than simply the mind, the mind would be like the outer shell, the exterior. It's more like a spiritual thing. The soul being the source where the entities reside, the light/darkness being energies that provoke drive, faith, and will fueling the spirit which fills the heart and mind (that act like the containers), and the body being the living shell that expresses and acts out. They are all connected:
Soul-->Entity-->heart/mind-->body
Each has an influence and is connected to the other. : D
If it makes you think then I have accomplished in making Xinara as influentially spiritual as I planned to make her. ^_^ awesome.
The light and darkness bonding and creating a balance as Xinara and Xigukamo's developing relationship is amazingly beautiful and mystifying, there is acceptance, each entity compromises and meets in the middle, rather than always have them fighting each other, one trying to dominate the other. As opposite ends can repel to their differences, they attract as well.
You can feel the light, and the darkness, the pain and rage, and the comfort and rapture... the awesome beautifulness of everything. It's growing on me. :')
People tend to misunderstand those in darkness. I have a feeling Xigukamo is just as misunderstood as Vanitas, and Maleficient.(referencing in the way they made her movie and revealed truths about her. Vanitas also has a backstory that reveals truths about him and the reason why he is the way he is. One of the developers created it. I have to send you the link. It's mind blowing, and made me reflect as well.)
MOOD: AGGRESSIVELY CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
Xigukamo felt a flash of light in his nonexistent heart as Xinara grabbed his hand. It stunned him for a split second. Something weird was going on, he never "felt" this way ever. He hasn't been this close to the light in awhile. It gave comfort to his darkness. It almost felt like two different unions colliding together to make one perfect being. As Xigukamo helped her up, he returned his hand back to his pocket and answered her unclear question. You're a star.. Something bright that drifts across the night sky but be warned. He looked at her keyblade again then back at Xinara. The brightest light can cast the darkest shadow. He quietly said. Xigukamo pulled out a pocket watch and checked the time. They still had plenty but no where to go. Xenros and Xiao was out. They had the castle to themselves. He walked towards the wall farthest from the door and began tapping on a high-tech keyboard that magically appeared on the wall. After a couple of minutes, the room basically repaired itself and transformed. A window appeared from the wall, a couple of couches rose up from the ground and a vending machine came from within the wall. Xigukamo was the only one that knew about these features because he's the one that installed them with a help of Kamo of course. Go ahead and relax. I'll give you the details after this smoke. He said while opening the window and lighting a cigarette with his lighter. He took a puff and blew the smoke out the window, still thinking about his past. Modoka... How could I have forgotten you? How was Xinara able to tap into my head like that..? I will find you once I'm a complete being again. Once we collect enough hearts, I'll find you. Xigukamo leaned by the window and blew his sadness away.
((OOC: Oh okay, i see now. Thanks for clearing that up for me and explaining it all out c: Yeah, Xigukamo aka Kougami only used the darkness because he was forced to at the moment. He didn't know any other way of helping his friend even though he was tricked in the process. And he was young at the time so if there is an opportunity to help someone you care about, you'd do anything within your power to do so. Hey, I actually saw that on this KH youtuber's video discussion. I do find it tragic in Vanitas' place tho :c He suffered a whole lot more than Ven did. I feel like no matter what side your on, there's good and bad in both light and darkness. Great example, Riku. He used the darkness to protect his friends, same with Terra. Even though Kingdom Hearts is all "light this, light that", it would be nice to see the darkness take part in being good or neutral. You know what they say, you can't have one without the other ))
Xinara listened to his words, watching his gaze fall to her keyblade then back up to her, warning her that the brightest light could cause the darkest shadow.
She watched him as he went to the window to smoke. Somehow she knew exactly what he meant. She looked down at her weapon. The light... Her light, it had touched him, but then also created shadows within him. It triggered the flare, and caused harm.
"I see..."She said, stepping to take her place nearer to him but not too close.. Her eyes darted from the cigarette he smoked, then back at him.
"I'm sorry, for causing shadows... The harm that I've caused."She couldn't read the sadness in his eyes, but she was able to recognize how he had changed from combative, to pondering, and that 'something' in him. The flame created from the vial that held his blood, binding him to the darkness, had lighted his cigarette, which he inhaled, and she watched small dark clouds expell."...Why do you feed the shadows that harm you?"She asked, curiously, her tone was gentle. A minute ago, she was surrounded by darkness. The darkness filled the air, they were like clouds, much like the smoke from Xigukamo's cigarette, and as she was in the dark, she had also breathed it in, her lungs had burned, and in pain, had triggered her light to respond.
She then had a thought. If her light had cast shadows that harmed, wouldn't the substance he inhaled, make it worse? He was drinking the product of the flame of his own darkness...

OOC: (Kingdom Hearts is light pure, and good... It's just that people find a way to use it for dark purposes... And even if someone uses the light for the good... It can have the opposite effect on the other, cast shadows, only if they allow it to do So. People are not perfect... Wether wielding light or darkness it doesn't matter. (Take Master Eraqus, for example, wielder of light, almost destroyed Ventus. )
Only divine beings would know how to use it to its purest and most righteous purpose. The light does not force to submission. It only offers its power and healing and beckons to comfort and protect.
The wielder chooses how to use it, and the effect it has on the person, depends on their own descision. In the way Xinara's light illuminated and brought Xigukamo beautiful memories of the past, the light coaxed and offered itself to be reached for with a warm embrace, yet as it touched Xigukamo, instead of embracing the light, he turned his attention to the shadows (the fear and pain) that came along with the memory. The darkness had beckoned to take him back, to continue making him suffer, and it crept up on him and took him over again.
Xinara illuminated, the light offered, but she is not perfect, not all-knowing how to use it to its purest power, so the brightness of it, cast its shadow, and Xigukamo chose to pay attention to the darkness.
In this case, the light harmed indirectly, because Xinara may have offered it wrong, and Xigukamo allowed it to harm him, because he took the purpose of those memories the wrong way. When they were supposed to bring joy, they brought pain instead. It was his choice, and Xinara's fault.
Anyhow! Xigukamo... You do realize you're smoking with the fire from your lighter, that the darkness provided you with?... If you keep smoking like that, it gives the darkness that brought you all that pain, the power to keep you hurting and enslaved.
It's what Xinara sensed. X( I feel so sad for Xigukamo! :crying: I wish I could hug him, and say something that would at least distract him from being sad. )
MOOD: SAD, CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
Xigukamo kept his eyes focused outside the window. He wanted to zone out and just watch what was happening outside. The sky was dark as usual but something about the skyscrapers caught his attention this time. This place was too quiet and his thoughts were violent towards himself. Don't apologize, I know exactly what I was getting into. He took another drag from his cigarette. Xinara could be the key to all of this. Let's see how all of this plays out.. Xigukamo had his own plans aside from the organizations and he already found his key to the lock. He was startled by Xinara's question but tried his best not to show it on his face. The answer was pretty clear but he wouldn't just come out and say the full truth. To feel pain. He answered while taking another drag. After his friend was taken away from him and with the help from his own darkness, he forged Shinya Garo and became obsessed with power. The more power he obtained, the more corrupt his heart would get to the point where he couldn't feel pain at all. But Xinara helped him feel pain today, it made him feel alive. Like as if he had a real heart. Xigukamo tossed the cigarette outside then started explaining things to Xinara. That key shaped blade? Yeah, that's your keyblade. I haven't seen one like yours before so I guess you could go ahead and give it a name. Your job is to collect hearts by slaying heartless. Easy work I promise you and it's a good way to practice handling your keyblade. I'm sure you can get it down, if anything I'll ask Kamo to help with your training. He's more suitable than I am. Now would be the perfect time to call Kamo but calling him out this time would be different. He didn't have his keychain with him. The best way for this to work out is that Xigukamo would have to enter Kamo's universe while Kamo would enter his. The thing about messing with warp portals was that anything, anything could go down.
((OOC: Yes, he does realize that and it was kind of explained in my post but further development on that topic will be made later down the road. Oh, Xigukamo wants to feel pain. Its one thing that he's been wanting for a long time. Something to make him feel real. Ahaha, it's alright. He's just being a big emotional baby. razz ))
Her eyes blinked down at her keyblade, watching it glow softly. It was connected to her, the light that called to its existence was born in in the midst of darkness... That light... Her light, that reached and touched the darkness... That grew bright and spread through. Like a star in the night sky as Xigukamo and Kamo said. This keyblade, like Xinara, was a light in the dark, though, an extension of her light that grew and spread. Xinara instinctively looked outside the window, staring at sky above them. Since the moment it appeared, She had already known its name. Automatically, she revealed it out loud, thoughtfully.
"Lunar Blossom..."She said, as her mind then shifted to thinking about her purpose.
"heartless..."she blinked as her gaze turned back to him."In the darkness... I sensed something very strange... I thought there were other presences, and I had visions of the darkness rise from the ground and take form... "she said. Even if at that moment, they were only illusions, Were those beings in her vision the heartless he spoke of?

MOOD: CALM - ₦θBθDY - "The darkness consumed me first.. Now i'm going to consume it with my blade!"
Xigukamo let out a small smile when Xinara named her keyblade. The name definitely fit. While listening to Xinara describe a heartless, Xigukamo opened a dark corridor behind him on the wall. Yep, that's the heartless alright.. Don't hesitate if you are confronted by one. They can be a hassle if they group up on you and they can take different forms. He explained to her before stepping backwards into the portal. I'll be back. Kamo is gonna train you for awhile.. I have uh--. There's something I must do for myself. In the alternate universe, Modoka had never met him before. She still lived in Radiant Garden and grew up to be a beautiful woman. Xigukamo would usually watch over her as she did her regular routines of helping out the other townspeople or planting beautiful flowers around. It definitely reminded him of the old times.. His dark corridor closed as another portal of light opened.
~Xigukamo from an alternate universe~ // NOBODY // "Aw. c'mon guys! Don't get it twisted, we're nothing to begin with."
Stepping through the portal that was magically opened, Kamo waltz out and landed face first in the training room. Owww! That damn Xigukamo.. At least lemme know before you call me back baka! I was in the middle of chasing beautiful women ya know?! Kamo looked up and noticed that he was alone with Xinara. He sat up Indian style and began massaging his chin. Hmm, I wonder where he went? I told the guy to watch over Xinara. Oh, I ought to kick his a** when I find him! OHH. He looked over at Xinara and noticed that she too, had a keyblade. Kamo became over joyed, grabbed Xinara's hands and started dancing in a circle. That's your keyblade?! I knew you were gonna have one, I just knew it! I'm very proud of you doll face! He was genuinely happy for her. Xinara was full of surprises and he liked that about her. Kamo slowly stopped dancing and let go of Xinara. He didn't know why he was called back, maybe she knew. Hey superstar! Do ya know why I'm here and where's that Xigukamo so I can give him a piece of my mind! He asked while looking around the training room with a smile. Ah, this place brings me back.. Am I right Xigukamo? He thought to himself. They both built this room up and trained in there several times together.
OOC: Xigukamo is out for now. He's deciding if he's doing the right thing and he usually makes his decisions by entering the other universe and watching his friend. Stalker-ish, I know but it's where he can clear his head and start thinking right. And KAMO IS BACK BABY! I love how I made them the exact opposite of each other, I mean they have to be but I like RPing as them and seeing the tremendous difference. Do you have any worlds in mind that you want to go to after Xinara explains some things to Kamo? o: I was thinking Twilight Town but my other character is there..
Xinara nodded listening to Xigukamo's advice toward the heartless and his instructions, telling her that Kamo would train her, and that he was leaving to do something he did not reveal. As he made his exit through a dark portal, another appeared, she watched as Kamo ever so gracefully made his entrance.
She winced on the inside a bit as he took the harsh fall, watching him quietly and studying him curiously as he talked to himself. She still wondered about this Xigukamo... Where did he come from?... Just how were there two of the same person? His motions and expressions were very complicated to understand... She watched him as he then sat cross legged as he thought out loud.
It was when he was finished speaking that he finally noticed her. His eyes 'changed' then, and she blinked back at him in question. He then got up and approached her, taking her hands and dancing around in a circle with her. This was very, very strange. Her eyes darted, curious yet questioning, searching his expressive gaze. She saw many things there, but she just didn't know what she was looking at. What it meant. Half of the things he said, she didn't understand. He was... what about her?
"hmm?..."Her head tilted a little, but he then let go of her and continued, asking about Xigukamo, and what he was doing here.
"I don't know... "she answered."he didn't say... All he said before he left, was that you were the one who could teach me, "she said, as she held her keyblade up in her hands examining the designs, then looked back at him. "and that he will come back soon. But you know... there is something... I saw in his eyes... I don't know what it is... They... changed somehow. Like your eyes. The way they... change. Your eyes change a lot... I've seen it. But they're different from Xigukamo's. I don't really understand those things I see in your eyes... and his. Do you know? Can you help me understand?"

OOC: ( That's awesome X) I love how the story is developing. The characters.
I have no idea where to go. And since Xinara is new to everything, beside the fact she can't remember her past life, (and the reason she can't read emotions, because she doesn't remember them) So she would just follow orders/directions from Kamo. Oh and also! Not sure if Xenros along with Xigukamo would come back and assign Xinara her number in the organization, before we decide that they go to another world... But if you want to make it that they go before Xenros arrives, we could do that. : ) but since Kamo's the teacher, he decides where to. ^_^ (again, Xinara is the newbie. She doesn't even know (remember) other worlds exist yet either.) )
~Xigukamo from an alternate universe~ // NOBODY // "Aw. c'mon guys! Don't get it twisted, we're nothing to begin with."
So that idiot is starting to realize now.. Hopefully he doesn't get trapped in his own thoughts. Yada yada. (good grief) In the other universe, Kamo had already experienced what Xiugkamo was going through.. Except now, he moved forward from his past and lived happily as a nobody. Kamo could tell that Xigukamo wanted to be whole again.. The thought gave him a small frown but he shook it off and clapped his hands together, determined to teach his little star the ways of the keyblade. You are now my student and beloved niece! Har har har! He chuckled to himself before taking a second look at Xinara. She didn't know what feelings and emotions were even though they had none to begin with. Kamo sighed. This might not make sense to ya but we have no feelings. We're reborn again with no hearts so the minds trick us into thinking that we can feel things but we actually don't. Our faces use facial expressions to express how we would feel if we were complete beings. From what you are telling me, I think you've seen who we really are without the numbers we've been named by or the weapons we carry.. You could see Xigukamo's sadness right? He's hurting kiddo. He explained to Xinara as best as he could. This moment was one of the first times Kamo's been serious about something. Xinara truly is something special for a newborn nobody.
OOC: Okie dokie! We'll just hang around here for a little while c:
