Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sari puffed out her face into an adorable look. Mari just looked down as she kept her smile on her face. She was thoroughly enjoying having beaten Sari at this. "Yeah, you win this time!" Sari began to laugh as she began to take another step up the wall. Mari watched as her sister walked towards her. Sari had taken one step before begining her descent towards the ground. Her arm reached out to her sister before she had done anything else. Mari, knowing what she wanted, grabbed her hand as quickly as she could. "Sari, are you alright?" Sari looked down at the ground and back at Mari, "Um...I think so..." Mari pulled up on Sari's hand, taking her sister's elbow in her other hand. It would give Mari more of a firm hold on Sari as she tried to regain her composure and get her chakra running smoothly again. Sari had one foot on the wall, her other foot still dangling in the air. "Thanks Mari..." She whispered as she brought her other foot up to attempt to cling to the wall.

Star looked to the wall. She had been fixated on the boy as he left but whatever. The girls were her main concern. She looked up tot he two of them for a moment and grinned. What a happy little duo theys eemed to be now. They were gaining groud with this kind of thing quite quickly.

A grin played on Stars lips as she gestured for the two girls to coem back down to earth. "Good Job you two. Good job. Well now, YOu two deserve a bit of a rest now don't you. Hmmm I do so hope you can continue this pace. Things will be getting a bit more freaky from this point out."

She could only smile to the girls as she stood there looking to them. Her hand came up and pet the two of them on the head. "Hmmm lets go have breakfest." Her eyes shift up to Kage. He never ate...how could he, he was a puppet. He looked down to Star and it seemed like something was passed between the two of them. And without another word, he was off somewhere or another.

The girls looked at Star. Walking toward them, Mari's eyes shifted to that Tadashi boy. What was his problem? All Mari really wanted to do was throw a rock at him. Sari's eyes soon followed after Mari's. "Come on, Mari." Sari said as she took her sister's hand and pulled her towards Star. "Miss Star, what are we going to eat?" Sari's voice was happy and excited. Sari had missed having a sort of woman figure around. The girls had gone without their mother for quite some time. And their father wasn't a very good guardian. Coming home drunk every night wasn't something you should do when you have fourteen year old girls in the house. It fightened the girls to no end. Though in puplic it seemed as if nothing was wrong with them. It seemed as though there was no problems they deal with. Truth was, the girls depended on eachother for the love that they are deprived of at home. Sari couldn't really be so happy if her sister wasn't there with her to go through the same sadness and frightening hardships as she did. Mari on the other hand didn't give a damn one way or another. These things didn't bother her as much as it did Sari. All Mari wanted was to protect her sister. So that was what she did. Even though Sari always seemed to protect Mari more, Sari also had her breakdowns. Now, the girls seemed happy walking up to Star.

[[Kage enters]]

Appearing at the door of his new house...well to be honest, he appeared a few doors down. He had the number wrong and had to go through the awkwardness of his key not working and some weirdo coming to the door. He corrected his mistake and moved to the new house.

Their was a deep chill in the air, not that he could feel it. The house was empty except a few standard pieces of furniture and appliances that were in each house to start with. He knew Star would probably remodel soon enough but as for now, it was fine for him. He took the food over to the stove and began to cook food for Star and the three kids.

The air filled with a foul oder at first but it soon changed to an alluring aroma out of no where. It was something tantalizing and tasteful to any that walked by the doorway. Amazing what you can do with poisons if you know how.

Kage was inside fixing quite a few dishes. He looked back to the girls and then back to his food. THey would notice that his cloak was off. He was wearing just a black shirt and pants and looked to the food again.

This would be the first time they'd see him for what he was. His joints were rounded and his arms were wooden although crafted expertly. Normally, he wore longer clothing to keep up the appearance of being human but in his own home, he didn't give a crap at this point. not with these girls. He was a puppet, just as Star had said. Yet he moved and spoke on his own.

Looking to the girls, he found them a bit more worn for wear and needing of a break...too bad. He looked to the bag on the table and pointed. "One of you had me the black bottle in that bag. The other bring me the red fish."

[[both are highly poisonious items. XD]]

He was a man of few words...but he loved the kids so he didn't mind speaking with them. He soon moved over to the fish and pulled out a knife from within his arm. Running it under the water to clean it of any blood or guts, he stabed it into a specific part of the fish. Moving the blade in a circular motion, he cut out a small chunk of it and threw it away. He tehn proceeded to gut and clean the fish like one would any other normal fish.

"This is a specialty my mother use to make me." he then took the bottle and placed it in a bot of boiling oil. He undid the top of the bottle and placed the whole thing in the water, bottle and all. The water came to about midway up the bottle. He then placed a top on it.

"Its a dish that looks far worse than it tastes. If made improperly, it can kill you in a heartbeat. If made correctly, you'll gain quite a full stomach." He looked back to the two of them, "You two look like you could use a good meal."

He continued to cut and fix the fish and suddenly there was a loud poping sound from inside the pan. He looked to it then pointed, "One of you, take out all the glass shards. Use a straining ladel. Make sure to get every last piece." the water was now black with pieces of the black glass floating in it..

The meal was finished shortly after their aid. The glass had absorbed the poison after it broke leaving only the good tasting brooth behind. The part that Kage had cut out of the fish was the poison sacs. The exact point he stabed into it at was the vein that carried the poison into the rest of the body. By cutting that first, he made sure the poison wouldn't reach the rest of the body before he cooked it.

The meal he made was a light salad toped with fish that was steamed in the boiling water the poison had been in. It had a slightly crunch texture as he let the water boil all out and sit on the bottom of the pan for 2 or 3 minutes more. The salad was fresh and crunchy as well. He plated it and handed the girls their share and went to sit down. He didn't eat after all. He simply sat on the old raggidy couch and crossed his legs in meditation.

He looked to the two of them. "When your done, I'll start your combat training. Eat now. Star will not care. She'll eat when she comes back."

He had opened his eyes but then closed them again. He was meditating quietly and sat there without another word. He wanted them to finish then he'd move them along.

He had a few ideas as to how they'd start the next part. Their level of skill was fairly low so he'd work on getting them better at the basic movements. If they could hone in on those, higher level techniques would be simple.
