Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gakupo gasped as he saw Faya hit the floor in tears. Oh gods! He didn't think people were still affected by Haku! Maybe he'd just grown immune to Haku's depression, like it was a case of the chicken pox or a string of the flu. Quickly, he picked Faya off the ground and over his shoulder and sprinted towards the women's restroom. He walked in and sat her on the counter (after checking it was dry) and stood in front of her with a concerned look. "Faya-chan! Faya-chan, are you alright? I'm so sorry. I didn't think Haku-chan could still affect people that way. How bad is it? Do you feel better now that you're away?"

Meiko started working quickly as soon as Gakupo was away. She looked to Neru sternly but began speaking in a way that was hard not to listen, calm and almost alluring. "Neru-chan, tell Haku-chan you're sorry right now."
Neru got this look on her face like she was having an inner conflict. With much difficulty, she shook her head with a stubborn expression. "N-No! I didn- nngh! Didn't do anything wr-wrong!"
Meiko stayed calm and walked over ot the younger girl. She lifted Neru's chin up and looked her straight in the eyes. "Neru..." She leaned in closely and spoke gently into her ear, "Just say a quick, heart-felt sorry to Haku. It won't hurt..."
Neru blushed and shook lightly before she slouched slightly with a defeated expression. "H-Haku... I- I'm s- .... Sorry for saying you were boring...." She looked to Meiko, who had raised an eyebrow as though to tell her to continue. She looked down with her head bowed before she looked up like a scolded child to Haku. "Y-You're not boring... You're very interesting..."
Haku slowly raised her head and the depressed aura began shrinking. She felt better hearing Neru apologize, yet she was still a little sad.
Meiko sighed lightly. She patted Haku on the back before she looked to Neru. "Now then, go fetch Haku Onee-chan a bottle of sake as an apology gift. I'll go tell Gakupo and Faya-chan it's safe now." She watched as Neru begrudgingly stood up and left the bowling alley to go to the nearest bar. She then turned to Haku, told her to stay, and headed towards the women's restroom.

Faya continued to lay down on the ground, almost beating her fists against it like a child would do in a tantrum, just... more depressing. As Gakupo showed concern for her and lifted her up over his shoulder, her whimpering almost turned into wailing. This was the second time he took her to the woman's bathroom to help fix a problem she had. The first time she got hurt and the second time... this. She tilted her head back, looking up at the florescent lights with a doomed expression. But suddenly something clicked in her mind, freezing her up almost immediately. Her chocolate brown eyes quickly faded into an icy blue color with a equally twisted grin. A hand quickly shot out and grabbed Gakupo by the collar before pulling him close, her head still tilted towards the ceiling. "You are so dense Gakupo-kun." The voice muttered before she pulled down her head, revealing the eyes of another. Hell, she wasn't going to hide her presence any longer, mainly due to the fact that her time of awakening was almost at hand. "This stupid girl and her feelings towards you... it sickens me. But, I can't help but see what she sees in you..." Xuxa whispered before she reached forwards and kissed Gakupo upon the lips in a slightly-passionate manner. Only a moment later she pulled back before she roughly shoved him back. Her ears perked at approaching footsteps before she looked back to him, her arms crossed as she hopped off the counter, smirking smugly the entire time. "It's your move, Gakupo-kun." She emphasized his name with Faya's voice, just to stick a fork in it and twist the situation around like a wound. "It just depends on what you do. One wrong move, and I can end her life right now, while giving myself a new one easily..." She traced her thumb across her neck to emphasize the point she was trying to make with him.

Gakupo was confused. He saw the change in her eyes and knew something was up. As far as he knew, only people from his world had such dramatic changes in eye coloring, and he knew she wasn't from his world. He then felt a hand grab him by the collar and yank him forward. What was happening? Faya wasn't like this! She was a sweet girl who usually smiled! Had Haku broken her some how? He felt his heart pound hard and did his best not to let his shaking be obvious. If he wanted to, he could tune his headset so that Meiko could hear and come help him, but he didn't. He just looked to her with wide eyes and listened closely. Who was this? This wasn't Faya! Was it that Spy they had captured? Emmett had said something about a prisoner getting away, so the option was there. But this person knew him and knew Faya's deepest thoughts and feelings somehow. When she kissed him, he didn't react. He didn't know how to react. it wasn't that he had never been kissed by a girl. It wasn't that he wasn't used to being treated so roughly and being called an idiot. It was the shock that Faya was saying and doing this. He stumbled back, his eyes filled with confusion, a slight hint of violation, and a tint of fear. Something was wrong, and he didn't even know what or why had caused this all to happen. Hearing Xuxa use Faya to say his name just caused this pain to form in his stomach, as though some oe had taken a pair of steel-toed boots and kicked him in the stomach. He heard the bathroom door open and saw the familiar shade of red nail polish on the nails of who-ever's hand ws opening said door. Meiko.
Meiko smiled into the bathroom gently, in a way to show she was sory for all the trouble that had happened since they started bowling. "Hey, Faya-chan. Sorry about all of that. I guess having us all together is a bad idea." She walked in and leaned against the door so no one else could walk in while they talked. "Listen, I think we should call it quites on the game. Haku's not feeling good, Neru's in a bad mood- probably from the lack of sleep- and you just had a rough experience. Maybe going back and getting some rest will be what's best for all of us." She looked over to Gakupo and noticed something. He looked pained and scared. His face was much paler than usual. She go concerned and walked over to him, standing on her tip toes and puttingher forehead against his. "No fever..." She dropped down to her normal stance and tilted her head. "Gakupoid, what's the matter? You don't look too good..."
Gakupo turned his head away from the two of them and quickly shook his head. He said nothing. He simply bumped Meiko as he passed her and hurried out of the bowling alley all together.
Meiko stumbled back a little and turned to watch as Gakupo hastily walked out of the bathroom. She didn't see him leave the bowling alley... What was up with him? She shrugged it off and looked up to Faya. "Hey, don't let that bother you. He acts weird from time to time."

Xuxa continued to smile menacingly at Gakupo up until Meiko entered the bathroom. She then sighed, crossing her arms over her chest before hopping off of the countertop. With cold eyes, she watched Gakupo escape form the bathroom only after Meiko tried to deduce what was happening to him. When a friendly statement was directed towards her, Xuxa just picked up a hand from their crossed state. "You know what's funny Meiko-chan?" She asked as her claws grew out in length, but also hardening. Before an answer could be made, she laughed and threw out her hand, actually piercing Meiko in the shoulder with her claws. "No one figured out that I was possessing Faya all these years. And after all of the hints and clues I left too." She retracted the claws, them shrinking a bit before she ran her tongue across one. "Well, only that Spy-fellow did, and it was because I told him. It's kind of sad in a way," She moved over to the far wall, running her hands against the smooth surface, not even looking back to see if Meiko was even bleeding or not. Hell, she didn't give a damn about any of them. "Faya really has feelings for that purple-haired one, that Gakupo. But none of that matters since her usefulness has just about ended. My reawakening has now begun." Xuxa told Meiko before she tapped her hand against the wall before it literally fell apart at her touch, giving her a way to escape. She then just cackled before fire began to surround her like a snake up from her feet to her face. "Time for the show!" She then exclaimed before she flew up to the sky, beginning to force Faya to charge up her more devastating attack, the one that would finally free her from this prison made of flesh and bone.

Tomoe nodded before she sat back, her hands still upon her stomach, where her child laid in a peaceful slumber. Kissing Alexander back happily, she then gave his hand a good squeeze. "Okay, I'm ready now Doctor." She told him with a sigh before she glanced out the window, her eyes widening. "I sense something terrible. An enemy's aura. But this one... is more powerful than that of Shodan or any other enemy before now." She muttered as she looked up to Alexander, fear apparent in her eyes. "Look, Alexander. It's... it's Faya-chan." She whispered, seeing the body of her friend suspended in air with fire surrounding her.

Yuzuki giggled lightly as she looked over to Raguna, continuing to till the ground until she thought that she was done. "Yes, well... not like a natural like you, but sure, if you want to call me that." She replied with a giggle before an internal alarm went off. "I sense danger." She told him as she stiffened for a moment, her smile turning to a more serious expression. "My scanners pick up an evil presence, a strong one at that. It's coming from over there..." She said as she pointed up at the sky, where Xuxa had begun to create a large fireball around Faya's body, in case of a need of protection.

Bunko smiled in reply, kissing Lord Inu's cheek quickly before she sat down. "Action sounds great. Can't get enough of it." She said as she picked out a movie and moved to put it in the player. But a sudden light coming from outside their house caused her to stop. She saw the large fireball in the sigh with the figure of a woman suspended within it. She quickly bit her lip before she ran over to the door, grabbing her -well, Faya's- sword as well as her bow and quiver of arrows. "Sorry love, but it seems that there's trouble in town. We need to go!" She yelled before she rushed out of the house, not even carrying to put on shoes. She had the worst pit in your stomach feeling about that fireball. God, she just hoped Faya was okay...

Souji being right by the door heard Meiko's shriek. He knew something was wrong so he bursted in. "Are you ok?" he asked as his eyes caught a look at Faya. He knew it! there was something inside of her... But this was weird the persona didnt separate from her body like the others would. He looked back to Meiko and sighed as he called upon Kikuri Hime. "Diarahan" he said as he pointed at Mieko. The preistess nodded and cast the spell on her healing her wounds completely. He then faced to Faya. So she was fire based... Bufu skills would work good on her but Kikuri didnt have them...well at least she could block fire attacks. He pulled a Sword out from seemingly out of no where and got into a fighter stance "Its ganna be ok" he told Meiko.

Alexander's head looked out to where Tomoe was pointing at. he shook his head "Tomoe... I dont think you should go... I dont think thats Faya anymore."

Raguna looked in the direction of the flying girl. "Thats not good..." he sighed as he went inside and came back out with his water staff and a water elemental sword. "Are you comming with me?" he asked Yuzuki.

Lord Inu got up and grinned "Finally!" he smiled but then sighed "But... what about... Cox told me not to exert myself today...."

Heavy was already outside with his gun ready. "Tis party time!" he smirked as he started walking in the direction of all the commotion

Croix rushed to the scene. man was he tired but still he couldnt back down when the city was in danger.

Lord Inu smiled and nodded. Father was right the best kind of woman was one that made him feel like he could do anything. He followed closely behind Bunko his sword ready as he arrived at the scene.

Souji was surprised to see the blast was merged with lightning. It was a good thing he decided to stick with his persona so that the fire attack was blocked and the damage from lightning was minimized. he waited for the blast to reach him, ready to switch personas as soon as it made impact. ready to counter with a attack of his own.

Raguna followed Yuzuki with a grin of determination he was ready for anything!

((I'm out for the night. I won't be back on 'til late-ish tomorrow too. Sorry, internet's kinda tight here at the moment.))

Bunko gasped. She couldn't believe what she had just seen with her own eyes. There was another person, another entity of pure evil dormant within Faya all these years. But she wasn't dormant, she was secretly working everything in her favor, so she could be free of the curse that was put upon her, to live within Faya's body. As Faya began to fall down from the sky, her first instinct was to try to catch her. But once she impacted against the ground, she flew back. But in mid-air, she flipped, so she could land on her feet before skidding a few yards back. "Faya!" She then cried before she ran, hopping into the crater before she grabbed her little sister's body. Tears began to fall from her eyes as she focused on her sister, not caring about Xuxa at the moment. She just wanted to make sure her baby sister was okay first. "Faya, hey. Listen to me, you gotta wake up Faya. You just gotta." She told the girl, without recieving a response, which just made her hold her even closer. "Please Faya, I'm so sorry. I wish I could've helped faster... but please, you gotta wake up now Faya. Please."

Toph stumbled slightly as she ran, due to Faya's impact into the ground, but she made it anyway. "What the hell is going on here, Luka?" She asked her friend as she panted slowly, gripping her hand into a fist, just in case for another attack.

Ty Lee arrived as well, panting. "Oh my god." She whispered to herself as she saw Xuxa. She then glanced around, lucky that no one got hurt from that witch's last blast.

Yuzuki soon landed besides Meiko and the rest of their little group as she analyzed what was going on. "Her power reading is off the map." She told everyone as she bit her bottom lip. Her rockets dissappeared before she looked over to Raguna, not really knowing what to do. Just seeing that attack alone made her a bit worried about everyone's safety.

Xuxa slowly began to decend towards the ground, only a few hundred feet above everyone. Her hands were now behind her back with a twisted grin playing across her lips. "Ah, how cute. Reinforcements are now arriving." She noted as she glanced over to Bunko and Faya. Chuckling under her breath she then called upon her powers of darkness, manipulating the shadows to create vile minions and creatures to do her unholy bidding. "Now, attack!" She cried as she pointed to the group. The monsters quickly dispersed and attacked. If one fell, another would quickly take its place.

((Yeah, actually. Very big stuff. lol XD))
