Welcome to Gaia! ::

Senente looks up to him eyes tear stained,"The trials are coming up and I cant be back home since he's still under investigation...I didnt know where else to go since Sakura and Naruto was gone." He stared at her not wanting to tell where they were actually at but hugs her."I know you can do this, dont worry with all you got and the evidence to prove Sakana is wrong and Raiku will be free but for now, stay here as much as you want I cant leave family out nowhere to go." She looks up at him wanting so much to have Raiku be the one to be hugging her tightly but for now he was separated from her till the trials approached.

It was recreation time in the field as Raiku sat by the fence isolated from the other imates not wanting to cause attention to himself, everyone else were doing their thing playing ball in the court, hanging in their groups, to causing verbal fights on enemy prisoners close to becoming scratches."I cant stay here theres no way I'll be able to stay in a chaotic enviorment knowing my family is in tears with Senente wishing I was there to make her smile and the girls....asking when will daddy be home and she wont be able to tell them the truth only to hurt their feelings as well. Sen....I cant live without you nor our family I fear would separate then what....what might happen."

He sits there quiet holding the photos of the family and the girls on their first day of school thinking back on the memory looking at Everest's eyes shine bubbly and having to snicker softly to Yuki's acting stubborn look,"Whats so funny there new comer...miss your family already like a softy....you wont last here." a couple inmates were watching him close and thought pestering him was needed.

Naruto and Yuki hugged for some time as he scruffed her heair a little suprised of how different she looked from her normal self,"Little sis look at you I didnt reconize you with your hair so short and whats with the make up." he says getting a little on his hand and she giggled,"I had to look traditional here in Kochi since all the little girls do but I look like a little doll at the festivals though." They laughed and Yuki felt the bond come back to her slowly like she did with Raiku but pieces were still missing in her memory, Naruto let her go and hugged Hiroshi as well,"Your taking good care of my baby sister...thank you for letting her be safe in your care and soon we'll be taking you make to your mother as well."

Hiroshi sniffles a little but stood strong leading them back to the dojo where they were staying and it was a surprise for Minto's grandmother,"Little ones who are our guests here?" Yuki smiled tugging on Naruto's sleeve,"This is my big brother and Sakura....some of my family back in my home." she looks up to them Naruto especially not seeing the resembence but watching her smile which she didnt do most of her stay made her smile,"Well then I shall make up some tea and we can talk so I can know these little ones a little more...I've grown attatched to them."

Sleep was pointless for him as he watched the ceiling in the dark while hearing other inmates in their cells mocking the guards as they came through,Ryuu became some sort of comfort knowing he was imprisoned for something completely pointless just like Raiku was almost having the feeling they were in the same boat.It was only about nine or so but the two let time slide as they talked about back home with Ryuu intrested in Senente and how the girls were different......somehow he was able to trust him about letting the girls's secret slip out since with what he has been through what could he do,"So let me get this story right.....your telling me that those girls you adopted arnt even from here? your pulling my leg I bet." Ryuu says humorously at the idea thinking something like that was even impossible,"No its the truth there not human though looking like them but really there kitsune well..... pups right now but all I say is true take a look at this picture."

Raiku picks up one of the girls with Yuki's ears Ryuu thought were just a headband but his face changes as he sees there no headband on her head not even a black one also nothing holding her tail....he was speechless."Well I'll be....your speaking truth all this time but my thing is if they're not human........where are they from?...I was told kitsunes were just made up in folklore"

He knew that Senente was a mess without Raiku by her side to give her comfort,heck, the main reason was because the whole situation was about him.He tries to come by her sitting on the bed to calm things,"We'll get him out it might take some stradegy but you always know what to do......he'll be back soon." Senente was still and quiet mostly crying out all the tears she had unable to make more, under the pillow her eyes showed pure sadness almost as if she wasnt even there thinking it was all over...Raiku would be found guilty and the family would be torn apart without him around. Saskue stayed with her but she didnt move till he left to get things around trying to give her some space.

Sakura and Naruto looked at the two as they slept on their laps sighing they were able to find them fast, Yuki was clinging onto Naruto's jacket wrapped in a ball mewing in her sleep that made him laugh lightly,"I dont care if she's a non human creature, a shadow being, kitsune....she's my baby sister and I promise to take care of her, see her as a teenager and everything else I wanna be there to help her up when she falls down....I'll be the one to pick her up."

Sakura was amazed how he was acting normally being idiotic but what he was saying it was warm hearted and she just smiled,"Thats quite something there Naruto...just like Senente your taking in another not of blood but treating her like a real sibling but thats quite a promise....do you think you can manage to keep it?" Sakura asks but he just looks down at Yuki petting her hair."Dont worry if it means making this little one happy....I'll definatly keep it believe it all the way." he says softly.

As raiku continue to dream it was replaying his past all over again remembering when he stopped Senente from making the biggest mistake she could do and it was a scary one at that,"Dont do this its not the end of everything....dont throw your life away like this." Senente looks at him,"Why not its not like anyone likes me here...my mother is dead and my brother doesnt care for me, we dont know our father and I'm teased all the time there's noone for me in this world." Raiku pulls her arm tighter. "Your wrong! the fact it theres someone who does....I like you a little more than expected." he gasped at his own words but Senente paused shocked,"What was that?.....you...you care for me?" he couldnt think of anything else but what he just said was his actual feelings towards her,"Yes its the truth....I really do please......dont throw your life away like that so I can grieve worse." his face showed slight red but as he talked she slowly stepped away from the ledge huggung Raiku close crying finding what she lacked most of her childhood and now she found it before it was too late. Raiku wakes alert realizing he was playing back old memories mostly missing Senente and how she was taking all this.

Naruto sat by Yuki as she slept and heared the door open as Sakura came in from taking back Hiroshi,"Haruka was pleased she was able to have him home it was a tearful reunion,Everest aka Asako will stay with them till the heats off and Senente feels ready to have them back....I know she hasnt seen the children for almost four months but with the way things were going now its not the time yet. Just watch Yuki till we can think of a good time to reunite them." she says looking at him watch Yuki in the blanket bundle.

"She's been sleeping ever since we got on the train...almost seven hours." "Well think about it both her and Hiroshi have been taken from their mothers and homes and set in a new place miles from Skyling, its just a case of shocked and she's sleeping to deal with it...she might wake up early afternoon at the most tomarrow but the point is now we have her safe." Naruto nods as she leaves and it was just him and Yuki but to him he felt that he was closer to her after the entire experience continuing to promise to protect Yuki through her years which he assured to do.

Senente was a little bit confused at this point, true it has been some time seeing the girls but the way Yuki was behaving was different than before."Yuki sweetie its mommy dont be so scared." she pleas but Yuki stayed close trying to hide herself in Naruto's jacket but he stops her,"Sis listen this is your mommy remember daddy?...she's his wife and your mommy as well, she took you and your sister in from your realm when you didnt have any parents to care for you thats why she doesnt look like you now come on you let go."

Yuki squrned a little trying to hide but he gets her free and took her inside to show her some pictures Saskue had of the Hatchi's and pointed out the one at the school of all of them, Yuki looks at it and sees her in Senente's arms happy but it was when she touched the picture her mind went off showing pictures of the past from when they first came to the island to the classroom where she would cause trouble as the class laughed at her antics,as she continued to look on outside her eyes were a solid red going from one memory to the next remembering all she lost during her hidden time.Senente watched from behind as Yuki developed a purple aura and with it turns to sense Senente's green aura and reconized the same power from when she sensed it at the dojo in Kochi.......she had found her mother.

Once her eyes went back to normal she didnt talk but drew closer to Senente,"M..mo....mommy...!....mommy!" Yuki ran up to her crying as Senente took hold of her crying as well almost thinking she lost her little girl but got her back. "Its alright mommy has you noone is going to get you or take you away...I'll be here for you no matter what." Yuki perks up to see her but it took Senente a little bit to see it was her, seeing Yuki in short hair and grey eyes made her look different but happy she had one of her girls back and now it was time for Raiku to join back completing the family.

Moring was a few hours from showing and Senente knew things were definatly turning over to her bringing in Skyline's finest to prove Raiku's innocence and also turn the page on Sakana and the things they did that were beginning to pile up, not just the case of capturing both Senente and Yuki but the past incident of torturing Yuki, breaking into the hatci house, messing with evidence, kinap and endangering the children attempting to murder them as key witnsses.....the list goes on.

Yuki gets up moving about the house noticing everyone was still asleep however she wanted to have everyone back knowing Everest was safe, her mother was on the futon, her brother taking care of her but there was one thing missing....her father. She didnt know where he was only seeing him at the dojo in disguise but after vanishing she never saw him again till then, as she walked quietly around the livingroom she found her ball beginning to roll it around as the sound of the bell jingled inside which brought back past memories of her and Naruto spending hours chasing the ball back and forth even breaking a few things by mistake but with Naruto he just laughs at her antic and never thought of punishing her since she resemble him so much......he would dare try to.

As Raiku and Ryuu woke it was already loud with the other inmates doing what they did everyday which wasnt a surprise, they had made a small friendship to eachother having to be in there for things they were innocent with from Raiku's self defense to Ryuu just helping out which didnt seem fair but they were accused from those who only seeked justice that wasnt even there at the beginning. Ryuu looks at him playing with his ring from Shiro,"Thats quite a ring where did you get it from?.....just dont let the guards catch you with it."

"I know, remember when I told you my girls wernt from here but another realm well....theres more to the story. I was given this ring along with my wife recieved a silver locket they were give by us from the Nova godess Shiro, you see she is Yuki biological mother however her biological father kept custody of her when she died and was purified as the goddess.Yuki has lived the life of thinking love and purity were disgusted and evil and blood were the main keys to life but Senente took her from that world and since hen were caring for her showing her the way of the light if you want to say.These pieces keeps us connected to the Nova kingdom so whenever something happens were not sure of we can go to Shiro and find the answers." Ryuu was fasinated by this learning more of what Raiku's life was back home,"I gotta hand it to you though, you have some life outside these walls."

Just as Senente thought things were on her side it decides to backfire on her, without the proper documents she wouldnt be proven to be wed to him and the girls wouldnt be considered adopted by them which ment two things...one Raiku would remain inprisoned and the other both girls would be taken away into foster care where most likely they would be separeted. Yuki watched as she say down trying to figure out if there was a way to help but even she didnt know what to think of or so she thought. Remembering from when she left the hospital Naruto carried her back to the house to get her doll and seeing something as they left but that wasnt so clear as Yuki ran out of the house to find out clues to her missing piece of memory.

A couple of the inmates had been watching Raiku from the start wondering if he was worth being respected but from the way he was they proven he was too soft and it was time to rough him up a little, a few cornor him by the wall taughting him but he didnt know what to do knowing that if he started a fight and claim self defense he would most likely get himself into more trouble."This guy will be easy.....I think a few rounds with each of us should make him break." one says lunging at him.
