Pippa nodded slowly although she never lifted her head from her knees. "It feels as there are thousands of knots in it and butterflys as well it is very odd...it kinda makes you want to feel sick but you just feel really great..."

After reading about ten pages or so, he decided he was done. It was a huge book, with hundreds of pages, but he found it hard to keep his focus after a while. He tried to stand up, but after a little bit he decided he had better sit there and rest. His breathing became heavy, and rasping once again. He coughed once or twice, and almost threw up. Dam my father. DAM HIM!
That was when he though about how much worse it could have been. Someone else could have been there. Dove could have been there, or Fera. Well, at least he only had a few friends, less people that could have been endangered. He smirked.

Tatsu sighed and knew he had to come up with a way to break the ice. They'd suddenly become tense despite the fact that they'd locked lips not even a minute ago. He'd become aggrivated with the idea of trying to figure out what had happened when his mind blanked.
He was in the garden back home and he was on the ground, a sharp pain coursing through his back over and over. Blood was all over the ground around him, and he knew what this was from the mere sight of it. One can never mistake a pool of his or her own blood. He turned and looked up at his dad who was beaten him with a kendo stick. Lash after lash, this specific memory seemed to have some significance to Tatsu's everyday life. He could hear his father screaming "Why, damn it?! why won't you just f*&king die?!" He moved his hand to his throat and felt the enormous gash. It was surprising he didn't die. If it weren't for the Twilight and his grandfather not wanting to Twilight to go out, he would have died. Tatsu suddenly felt the sharp pain he knew was coming, and it was that moment he'd come out of the flashback.
He came out with a start, like one would do after awakenening from a bad dream, and felt under his shirt just beneath his rib cage. It was a scar, a scar received when his father stabbed him through with a katana. He sighed and suddenly remembered Pippa's telepathy. Oh no, not again!

Pippa quickly sat up as he went through this vision, had she not been slightly touching him she wouldn't have seen it. Usualy she only hears words in a persons thoughts but this was much like words in his thoughts except they were mini movies. Her eyes were wide open she blinked not one time during the whole thing and even after it ended after she had seen him get beaten and his throat slit she just sat astonished. Why could she see these things? Was it because her being able to hear thoughts and this ability growning? Or was it because somehow she felt conected to him...After atleast five minutes had past then and only then did Pippa take a breath and after taking it all in she held it in her lungs. This mini-clip kept running through her mind over and over again as if it was the first time she had seen it all over again. The rest of her body didn't move, even her ears that liket to twitch stayed flat against her head and her tail with a mind of it's own laid curled up next to her in astonishment.

Tatsu turned to Pippa and held her again, hoping to bring some life back into her.Damn it, this girl is anything but safe with me when I'm like this... Tatsu held her close to him, hoping she was ok, despite her telling him not to worry about her earlier.

Pippa went somewhat limp in his arms she wasn't so stiff anymore. Finally her eyes gazed up to his her beautiful sparkling blue eyes looked deep into his eyes. Wondering what other kinds of things were going on in there. Yes what she saw was diffrent then most things she'd ever seen it shocked her more then scared her. She hadn't expected the vision to come to her nor did she even know it was going to, or for any fact she didn't know she could see things that people thought. Taking a deep breath her gaze fell from his and her hands fell upon her maids dress and began to fix the wrinkled spots not sure exactly what to say so she often fidgeted when she didn't.

Tatsu didn't know what to do, except maybe explain what she may have saw to her. He lifted her chin up again, but this time it was not to kiss her, but to get her attention. Pippa, I come from a horrible past. What you just saw was the day I went mute, when my father slit my throat in an attempt to kill me. But, I was saved by a gift from my grandfather. When I was still inside my mother, he infused the power of the Dragon Kin into my unborn self. My mother died during birth because of it, and my father had hated me and my grandfather ever since. Over the years, I have been stabbed four times, all the way through, had my throat slit, broken both legs and my left arm, had a concussion, and just plain old beaten on countless occasions. On top of that, my grandfather has been training me since the age of 2 to wield a sword and to try and focus my powers. If I failed to please him, he let my father at me.
They decided to send me here not too long ago, and I'm thankful for that. But Pippa, don't let what you saw get to you. I'm fine now, it's only a bad memory... Tatsu pulled her close to him again as he suddenly realized what a sh*tty life he had.

Pippa snuggled against him and closed her eyes after she had listened to him. "I'm sorry you've had to go through that stuff Tatsu...I guess I could show you something I hide from everyone aswell..." Letting go of him she stood up with her back to him her eyes still closed and moments later she was in a long beautiful silk golden gown with no back in it. It was cut low enough in the back you could see almost her entired back and on it there were tons of whip marks but each made a feature on the dragon design on her back it was very detailed amazingly expecially since whips had done it. It was nothing compaired to his story but that was hers. Just as she had stood up she turned around and was suddenly in her maids dress and sat back down next to him. Untill Uwasa had told her what the markings were of she had no clue for as long as she had had it she didn't know what it made when she looked in a mirror it wasn't straight on so she could not make out the full shape only parts of it. She gave a slight shiver as a chill went up her spine then she watched the ground, although the design was beautiful she kept it covered because she didn't want others to think diffrently of her." I know that your story is much worse and I'm sorry for that but I thought I'd share some of mine with you since I've seen bits of yours..."

Shien's eyes wandered over the courtyard slowly, trying to take in all the details he could. He made his way from one of the stone pathways, to the fountain. He seated himself on the stone ground against it, and sighed.
Relaxing, maybe, but it didn't cure the feeling of being out of place he felt. He was new, so it would pass in time..He hoped. His eyes wandered again, falling on a few people here and there.
He shrugged, and fished an unlit cigarette from one of the many small pockets on his coat, along with a lighter. He lit it, placed the lighter on the ground next to him, and took a tiny puff. His eyes closed, and he leaned his head against the fountain, trying figure out what to do with his time.

Deirdra walked out accross the Courtyard, her purple-greyish mixed eyes searching along the grass and trees. She was wearing a black Lolita dress that was almost medieval in style. Her large black and red bat wings behind her were folded, and rustled as she walked.
She spotted only a few people out tonight, which she figured since it was starting to get pretty late. The moon was out and shining, providing one of the main light sources out, besides the random lights on at the dorm rooms and the other stars out in the sky.
Her long sliver hair fell over her shoulders as she tilted her head down slightly as she walked slowly on the grass. The black ribbons that were tied onto the basses of her large ram-like horns at the sides of her head followed her straight hair down. One small hand grasped her right shoulder, covering up the tattoo she had that was of an upside down cross.
She made her way over to a bench that faced the moon. Sitting down gently, she brushed off her dress and rested her hands contently in her lap, just sitting there relaxing, wondering what this life will now be like being in this large High School of Ria.

Sonia walked out from the castle,being her first day, she was slightly nervous. She sighed a bit before staring around only to see a rather large fountain infront of her a distance away.She smiled a bit as the sound of water welcomed her, she looked around, holding a book in her hands as the shadows hid her for a moment until she stepped out into the light. She had short black hair that spiked up in the back with long blood red bangs that framed her face, the tips of her hair shone the same shade of red.
She wore a white blouse with a black and red tie, her sleeves rolled up some as she had on her wrist bands. She had on a short black skirt with thigh-high white stockings, and her black platform shoes. She stared around a bit with her soft sapphire blue eyes, taking in every inch of the place before seeing a large tree off to her left, smiling as she walked towards it, her hair and skirt swaying with her very movements. She took in a deep breath, a smile forming on her soft pale pink lips as the surroundings relaxed her.

Shien noticed, or rather, softly heard, the arrival of a few more people. He pushed himself back onto a standing position, not even bothering to pick up his lighter. He opened his eyes slowly, and blinked a few more times before glancing around a bit. Noticing one person in particular, he silently made his way over to the bench where she was seated.
Her rather interesting appearance had caught his eyes, wondering whom she was. He eventully came next to the bench she was seated at. Pulling the cigarette from his mouth briefly, he said, in a voice that seemed just like the smoke that seemed to surround him like a cloud, thick and dry "Mind if I join you?

Sonia heard voices, turning her head as her earring shone brightly in the moonlight. She smiled as she saw some people in the distance. She took a seat under the tree finally, staring around as she kept taking in everything, examing every detail with her eyes. She smiled more as she saw the moon high above head, the light wildly bright for its position in the sky. She sighed a bit as she leaned back against the tree, finally fully relaxed as she stared down.
She opened her book, moving her bookmark out of the way as she began to read silently to herself. You could barely make out the words on the spine as they shone in a soft gold lettering, they read "Pandora by Anne Rice." She let out a mild sigh of relief as she finally felt at home and at peace with herself and nature.. for once.

A small sigh escaped from her pale parted lips. Her two legs kicked back and forth slowly below her, carrying heavy weight from her knee high black boots. Her head tilted back up as the sound of someone approaching her rang through her pointy ears. A small smile spread accross her face and she shook her head.
"No.. Go ahead..." She said slowly and quietly. Deirdra's shyness started to show almost immideiatly. Her wings rustled behind her and the hand that rested on her right shoulder now moved down to her other hand that was in her lap. Her purple and grey eyes moved over to the boy and then back up at the darkened sky.
Deirdra had always had a fascination with the sky, the moon, the sun, and stars. She never really knew why, but it interested her dearly. When she was alone and she traveled, she always stopped to stargaze.

Sonia started to allow her eyes to droop, before she fell asleep completely. She was silent as the book rested itself against her stomach. She softly turned a bit, her legs folded to her side as she seemed to keep one hand on her opposite shoulder so her arm was across her chest, the other holding onto her book. She mewled a bit out of habit before completely falling out of consciousness.
