Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Kouta had his eyes shut tight when he felt the sting of Sena's open palm strike his cheek. However, his expression turned to disbelief when he felt the the sensation of her lips on his. What was this? What was going on? If he had ever had feelings of mixed emotions, now was that time* W-W-Wha... *Kouta stared blankly at her as she skipped back and looked back at him* A-Again? But...I..what? *Kouta's mind fished around for words to put out, but his scattered emotions between hate, desire, confusion, and temptation left him at a stumbled stutter*

Huh? Oh, okay. *Kouta turned and looked to the wall. He knew that hatred was what was going to fuel this attack, but he couldn't summon it forth. He tried reflecting on past events, imagining terrible things happening to Katty and the others. As he pulled back his arm and threw it forth however, the sensation he had just felt from Sena came forward and his mind went into a jumbled mess* RAMTO!! *His voices echoed off the wall, which remained unscatched. He had lost his focus and thus botched his attack. He figured that the repremand from Sena would not be pleasant*

But I, what am I...? *Kouta clinched his eyes shut and tried to get his thoughts straight. Everything was so confusing and he couldn't make sense of the situation. *Digging his nails into the floor, his mind spun. From being welcome to a new home,to Katty's smile, to being brought here, to the hatred and spells, to Sena's kiss, and finally an angry vision of Katty came forward to him*

"You lying jerk! I hate you!"

*Kouta shook his head at the avatar in his mind and thrust his hand forward towards Sena* RAMTO!! *Immediately a force of energy flashed forward and knocked Sena back against the floor about 6 feet from him. Kouta's eyes opened slowly and he looked forward to see what the results were this time*

I don't know!! *Kouta replied* I got mad and just acted! Isn't that what you told me to do?! *Kouta sat up and scratched his head* All this stuff is wearing on me and I'm really confused. *He sighed and got to his feet slowly. Walking over, he offered his hand with a slight exhale* Are you alright?

*Kouta laid on the ground, motionless under Sena. He wasn't sure what she was thinking. At one moment she hated him, and the next...this* I'll keep practicing then. *Kouta responded instinctively and, failing to resist his impulses, reached up and brought her face back to his and return the deeper kiss. He wasn't sure why, and maybe it was wrong in the long run but, at the moment and time, he didn't care*

(Okay...did NOT see this coming. surprised )

*Kouta sat up and rubbed the back of his head* Right, practice. *He stood and looked down the room. There wasn't really anything there, so he simply pointed his arm forward and tried to channel his thoughts. At first, channeling all of his anger was a quizzical thing to him at best. Yet, slowly with every casting, he felt it becoming easier and easier. As if learning to ride a bike. Was he going to become as hateful as this Darva character? What was going to happen? At this point he didn't know. But for the here and now, this was all he could do* RAMTO!! *Kouta yelled repeatedly and endented several ball-sized marks into the wall. Would this anger overcome him over time?*

*Kouta's eyes went wide as he doubled over and fell to the ground. Anger was one thing, but this was just brutal and ineffective* ...o-oh...dear....G-God... *Kouta cringed and his body shook as he forced back the tears. Where did this come from?*

(um, i'm finally getting around to catching up and i dunno if Kouta had a fear of Katty saying that or if you meant that to be an acutal memory, but fyi Charli would NEVER say she hates someone.... not like that. she was raised to believe words had power, remember? so she's usually pretty careful when she says anything negative and avoids saying it when she can)
