Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kozue sighed and nodded. She glanced at a clock on the wall and then looked at Juno who was half alseep in her arms. She looked at Norah who was wavering a bit as well. It seemed that the animals were reaching there limit.

"I'll just follow you."

Kozue was alittle taken back by the sudden change of attitude on William's point, but she just shook the feeling off.She looked up at William and could see that he was alittle worn and she decided that it would be best for him to rest after all.

"Sorry for making you so tired."

"Just be careful." Kozue looked at the animals in the bag. They both looked alittle nervous, but they looked like they'd be ok. Kozue held onto William as she heard the bike start. She wondered if Mellony was still looking for them at the school.

Kozue rested her head on his shouldre while they drove. She was alittle relieved to the school. She felt like she hadn't seen it in awhile. She glanced at the animals. They were siting in the bags, rather calmly. She chuckled to herself and waited for them to reach the school.

((Where too?))

Finishing up at the arcade, Hikaru looked around to notice that Tomoro had apparently gotten bored and left her there without saying anything. She frowned to herself a little, folding her arms and trying to think of where she'd go if she were Tomoro. Then she realized she didn't really know much about her friend's interests, and simply decided to wander around until something caught her eye, relying on blind luck to bump into her. That was when she noticed the bookstore. Walking in, she headed directly for the comic books lined up along the front wall and picked one up. Sitting in one of the nearby chairs, she started flipping through the pages and laughing uproariously every few minutes or so at what she was reading, much to the dismay of the other customers in the store.

Tomoro closed her eyes for a moment, trying to hear the sound of Hikaru... there was definitely someone with the same laugh as her. Was it even her? Opening her right eye, she stood up and looked around for a moment before settling back down and opening the book once more. It appeared to be a science fiction novel of some kind... about 500 pages, a decent amount... biting her lower lip, she flipped through it, eyebrows raised. It seemed to be about a girl who was on the run for a few space crimes she had committed, a typical story. Setting it down, she stood up and began to head over to the section where gardening was found.

So she went, head raised high, and picked up a book that was actually a plant encyclopedia. She opened it happily, and began skimming through it, looking at the colorful pictures that it contained. One rose caught her eye in particular... she had never seen it before. Looking down at the page, she read its title and the species it fell under, then completely drenching herself in the book by sitting down against the bookshelf and leaning close onto it.

It was then that she saw another girl, one who knew her name. Looking up quizically, she peered her eyes at the girl, and nodded her head. "Yes...?"

Once they enter the mall area Taqune still holding her hand. A few people look at them but he gives them a stare back. "See nothing to worry about."
He looks around the mall finding a directory and begins to study it. Find the hardware store,"here we are this place right here." He pointed to the map. Finding the store he stands out front again still with Serika's hand in his. "Ready to go in, find the stuff, and get your love nest built." He smiled softly he was being really lax about the situation hoping she would relax as well.
