Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hotaru shook his head and chuckled a little. "I suppose it's a good thing you decided to stay put then.....I mean, if a scratch when I wasn't even playing with half this power screwed you up....." He shrugged. "I suppose you want to fight then?" he shut A entirely out of his focus, and readied his weapon. "If that's the case, I wouldn't mind a friendly sparring match. I figure the two of us should be able to handle an all out bout." As he spoke he ran his left hand along the keyblade, causing the dark energy around it to become streaked with red. "And naturally I'll be using my own abilities outside of this..." He gestured towards himself, "if you don't mind." He smirked as he gave Sarah his full attention.

((*Hotaru*.....yeah....I'm a dead man.....but not before I take you out king......*starts stalking over to king*

*King* Uh....Hotaru....buddy....if you weren't so violent towards me.....this kinda thing....*starts backing up* wouldn't have happened......*sprints towards Ichy* Quick! I need Anna!!!!))

((*King* ANNA!!! HOTARU'S PICKING ON ME!!!!

*Hotaru* Eh?!! *freezes* Not cool man......not cool.....*hangs head* I'm officially a dead man walking......))

Hotaru smirked. "Girlfriend? I don't see anyone else here, but you." He rushed at her, slashing as he moved, sending a wave of dark energy towards her. "That's gonna go 'boom' as soon as it touches anything by the way..." He called out as he dashed to the side.

((*Hotaru* Screw it....if I'm dead......*goes dark Hotaru* I'm taking you with me you evil evil sneaky man...

*King*.....Uh....Hotaru.....Anna doesn't like you when you do that.....and uh.....I'm just a bystander in all this.....and uh....we're friends right?! You wouldn't kill your........yeah.....yeah you would......crap.....))

"Tch....." He barely dodged. "Nicely done. So you absorb the energy huh?" He nodded. "Then lets try this..." He rushed in and swung his keyblade, not letting any energy go.

((*Dark Hotaru* But....Anna....he's making me.......

*King* I'm making you?! Please, you're doing all this on your own! Besides! You aren't the type to let others control you! Take responsibility for your own actions! *currently hiding behind the nearest person*))

She landed lightly close the fight, But not close enough to get hit, tucking the black wings closer to her. There was too much power being flung aorund, to be noticed. And Phantom was too experianced to be noticed by this pack of amatures anyway.

'Will he be okay?' Zero asked watching the fight through her blue eyes while Phantom observed trough the yellow.

'What's that concern I detect?' She chuckled.

'Nah just want the pleasure of kicking his a** myself.' Phantom laughed. 'Why'd you want to come anyway?'

'To judge him.'

Axel had slipped back into the little reclusive corner in Italia's mind his presance had created. The amber eyed girl could tell he was gloomy about something. "How you doing Jistin?" She asked handing the blond a cup of tea curtesy of the flower girl in pink, Aeirth she was pretty sure was her name. there hadn't been much time for much of any proper introductions.

((*Anna, eyeing King was he walk off* Yeah, if he suggest that again you can kill him.))

Before Sarah could reach Sir, Anna was in front of him, facing Hotaru, spreading out to protect him. "Hotaru! I'm not letting you do anything that will put us in any unnecessary danger! We've got enough of that as it is! Sir's a stupid idiot that needs to learn to shut his month." Sir looked at her hurt. "But he's valuable to the heartless and it will turn heads if he shows up dead!"

((*Anna* Yeah... I'm just going to leave now.

*Ichy, running after Anna as she leaves* No! Anna! This is so entertaining!!))

'Sensitive' Sir thought as he scowled down at how how dirty his cloths got when he was pushed down. He looked up at A who was looming over him and smiled. His hand raised as he expected her to help him.

"Leave," Anna ordered. "And never come back. If you do, I may not be up to doing such a disgusting thing as saving you again." A turned and followed Hotaru. Sarah helped Sir up and watched them walking away.

"We're just leaving?" she asked befuddled.

"Yes, Sarah, let's go." Sarah shook her head.

"No, no!" She ran to A and ripped the hood of her cloak. Within a fraction of a nano second Anna was facing Sarah with her hands lit on fire and huge wall of dark earth encircled them. Sarah was smiling wickedly. "I knew! Oh, I knew! This is just too good!" Sarah chimed.

"You little worthless piece of scum!" Anna hissed at her, her sword appearing in her ablaze hands.

"Now, now, A."

"Don't you call me that!"

"Poor little Anna. Do you really expect this pathetic little wall to keep me in?"

"It's not to keep you in!" Sarah laughed.

"Do you really think you can?"

"I've have to much better than you!"

"Yes, Anna, but that was four years. You've grown soft and out of practice."

"For you, it'll be like I was training this morning! Besides, you are you a guardian to who? Sir?! You know who I protected!" Sarah scowled.

"Sarah! Come! Now!" Sir called from over the wall. The wall disappeared and Anna looked her square in the eyes.

"Go. Before I change my mind and do what I know you deserve." Sarah gave her a dirty look and turned, walking away. Anna watched them leave and then turned and walked past Hotaru.

"Hotaru, shut up," she said eyeing him madly. "And I'm coming with you again," she called after him. "Maybe if you just stopped for once I'd be able to tell you that. Just, don't you dare brother me until then." She turned and walked the other way without a word. It was clear she wasn't very much in the chatty mood.
