Welcome to Gaia! ::

((What's so scary of growing old? Personally I just hate the fact that everyone uses the excuse of being born to celebrate, but then again, I tend to hate crowds, so....meh. That's just me.))

Hotaru hopped up, and looked around. "It's funny....." He looked at the surrounding area. "If things had turned out differently...." he looked at the charm on his sleeve. "If you hadn't chosen me..." He grabbed, ripping it off his sleeve, glaring at it. "worthless piece of crap.....I'd be with them if not for you....I wouldn't have to fight them...." He tossed it with all his might. "I don't need you. I don't want you...." He muttered, closing his eyes.

He looked at her. "Yeah. Just fine." He muttered, as he shook his head. "Anyways, you find Zero? Cause I doubt I'm the right person for this saving the world crap." He rubbed his face as he looked at her. "...sorry, but...." He started to say, before he shook his head. "No......it shouldn't matter...." At this point it sounded like he was just talking to himself.

He looked at her. "Did you ever see who was in charge of the heartless when you were with them? The ones creating them, and sending them out?" He sighed. "I know I probably shouldn't ask, but if you did, and if you remember what they look like, then take a real good look at me. I'm sure you'll understand what's botherin' me" He shook his head, and sighed again.

He laughed. "Sorry, but......it was.." he swore under his breath. "Let me put it this way, now that I've been chosen, I'm more a target, and a concern to the ones pulling the strings." he shook his head, and started walking away, leaving the charm where it was thrown. "Cause I know them by name, face, scent, and voice." he looked back at her. "It's pretty hard to not recognize your own family, right?" Came out, almost inaudibly. He gave a bitter laugh to cover it up. "There's just certain info I'm privy to because of who I am." He shrugged. "like the name they gave me.........." "Something that I will say, until I meet them again." he nodded, unaware he had spoken the last bit of his thoughts.

He looked back at her, and shook his head. "Well, I know they'll kill everyone here if they found out that I survived..." He gave a weak smile, before sighing. "I also knew I was a wielder before Leon found me. Before I came here." he glanced at the charm. "And this wouldn't be the first time I threw that away." He sighed again. "I also know the quickest way to draw their attention." He hut his eyes. "You know 'Hotaru' is the name Leon gave me, not my actual name, right?" he looked at her then, "Well, the quickest ways to bring this to an end are, I tell someone who's had a connection to the heartless before my name, so anyone here really, or....I use that power..." the last bit was barely a whisper. "A family of evil.....how fitting the should name me 'that'.....

Zero didn't drop the glass, oh no she flat out threw it at the wall. The glass splittered into peice when it hit the wall, and into even smaller peices when gravity set in slamming the fragments to the floor. She turned on him, and for a second it appeared like both eyes were yellow. "No I'm not! So stop calling me that!" She shouted. "So I have a Keyblade, not by choice, and certainly not by my own power! But that doesn't make me the other weilder, or the champion of the worlds or whatever the hell everyone thinks it makes me! If you're so damn desprate for a second person to come in and save everyone from the Heartless go find Sora!" She turned on heel and ran out the door slamming it behind her.

(( . . .Zero screamed...I'm scared.))

Hotaru made a fist around the charm. "I have only one mission, and it really shouldn't be connected to this." He shook his head. "Anyways, we should probably find Zero..." He looked back towards the city. "I'm sure she's causing someone some problems.." He laughed lightly. "And Anna, no one knows anything about this. And I'd like to keep it that way." He started to walk back.

He just nodded. "You don't do anything stupid, alright!" He called out to her. "Remember, that's my thing!" He then took off towards the city. "Zero, it's time you got out of whatever's bothering you." He muttered as he ran through the streets.
