Hikari looked to Dante and chuckled. "It's hard to describe. Guardians have two dimensions. The storage one, and this one. Whenever we change forms, our previous one goes into the storage dimension to keep safe until we change back." Kiera was suddenly anxious. Had a shiver run down her back. "Don't you guys feel that?" Asher looked to Kiera. "Feel what?" Kiera glanced wearily to the ground. "Ruining the woods, tree wrecker, The angry old forest god turned your poor beak into a poison knife," Kiera's face contorted. "THAT. Don't you hear that?!" Asher shook her head. "I can't hear anything, Kiera.." Mai gazed, concerned, up to his master. "Poor little wood pecker, your nesting holes are all tainted, Your food with toxins rife," Kiera looked to the top of the buildings and focused her eyesight. "Touch your friends, and they all will die falling at your feet, Oh, sad little woodpecker," Kiera finally spotted him, River. And suddenly, River stood opposite them all, the Kiera vessel over his shoulder. "Poisonous tears, shining brightly, as they stream down your cheeks.." He grinned and scratched his neck uncomfortably. "Missed me, kiddies~?" He glanced to each and every one of them in turn.

Veria looked to river and shrugged, "not really." However shortstraw was more serious, "what the! Oh come on, i had enough crap for one day." He made a face, "I thought i told you to go away. We want nothing to do with you geez." However Veria placed a hand on shortstraws shoulder, "Look at his shoulder... the raven has something in his nest." Meanwhile shortstraw looked to him confussed, "dude seorusly, what the hell do you want." He slumped unamused.

River glanced to Shortstraw with a smirk. "Don't flatter yourselves. I don't want any of you. As cute as you are, Shortstraw." He glanced to Kiera. "I'd like you to come with me for a second. I need you for something. If you won't be obedient, I'll make you. I don't care if any of these lackeys will stand in my way." Kiera frowned. "No." River sighed impatiently, pushing the Kiera vessel further up his shoulder, getting comfortable. The golden hair just dragged on the floor slightly. Kiera was mildly disturbed by that. Seriously, how many people wanted bodies of her. "Fine. I'll do this the hard way, just like last time." River suddenly disappeared, then behind the group with Dante in his grasp. Dante, still in his wolf form, whelped at the mercy of River. River was so close to just snapping his neck. "Now I think you should reconsider that, Dearest." Kiera's eyes widened dramatically and had to grab Hikari's fur to keep her from going at River. Kiera submitted. "Let him go first." River grinned. "Oh please. I know how your mind works, Kiera. That won't work on me. Especially me." Kiera's eyes thinned, then she slowly walked over to him. "What do you even want? Why won't you just leave us alone?" River licked his lips. "I'm connected to several of you. I couldn't stay away even if I tried." When Kiera was withing grabbing distance, River grabbed her by the hair and tossed Dante aside. "See. That wasn't so hard, was it?" He looked back to the group. "I'll be good. Honest. I just want her for a second. She'll be unharmed." Kiera smiled down to Dante, who was already being helped by Hikari, even though it was pretty painful how River was holding Kiera. "It's all right, little brother. Maybe if I do this he'll leave us alone." River rolled his eyes as he etched a large circle in the dirt around them both. Didn't look like much. But in reality it was a powerful barrier which he just enclosed them both.

*Shortstraw dashed forword, "KERIA!" He however bounced off the barrior, "NOO!" he now shook, "LET HER GO!!!!!" He turned into his armored self and started to get through the barrior again untill finally veria pulled him to his butt and ordered him to sit down. "You are a fool Shortstraw. Sit and wait. There is nothing else we can do." She glared, "i have a feeling we will be seeing doubles soon." her brain was starting to work overboard again, butting the peices all toegher, all intell, all parts of things that happened... "However we may be in some real trouble soon... it seems..."

River pushed Kiera to the floor and dumped the Kiera vessel right next to her. River mumbled to himself as he set things up, inscribing small letters into the inside of the circle with his foot. "Think you could get rid of me, eh? And you were so confident about it, too. Really thought you had won over me, back at the Ice dragons castle." He grumbled. "Your last mistake, missy. You can't sever me from who you are." River kicked Kiera onto her side and glared at her. "BUT GUESS WHO CAME BACK. You little brat!" River knelled down next to Kiera and looked to the duplicate vessel. "But I do so miss being a girl." River suddenly reached into Kiera's head, hand sinking straight through her forehead. "Now give me back what is mine." Kiera's body set on fire, and glowed brightly. River took his hand out and shifted over to the vessel, shoving the same hand into the forehead. "Sorry, River." River suddenly shut his eyes and his body fell to the side. His hand ripped out of the other Kiera's head and all was still for a moment. Then the second Kiera's eyes fluttered open. Its newly sewed hands lifted up to its face and it smirked for the first time. Before long, it jumped up, hair swooping all over the place. It was a perfect copy of Kiera, through and through. "Aha!" The second Kiera exclaimed. "Thought you saw the last of me. You little ********> She giggled manically and looked to the unconscious looking Kiera on the ground. She leaned down and picked Kiera up by the chin. "Try and burn me now, you little b***h. Try and get rid of me again. Eradicate me. No, no. I'm a part of you. I am you. You should have known that you'd become unstable when you got me out of your body." She snickered. "Ohhhhhh Kiera. People pleaser. Weak. Submissive. All the qualities I never let you have. Urgh. All the things you allow." She looked back, disgusted at the group. "You're all pretty feeble." She sighed. "But I keep my promises." She took down the barrier by simply kicking through it and tossed Kiera's body to the others. "She might be out for a while. But I haven't done her any physical pain." She lifted her patched finger up to her lip with a smile. "Hmmm. She still hasn't figured out that little inconvenience yet, though."

*Shortstraw looked to the first keria, then walked up to the other, "I knew you couldn't just dissapear Yang... i knew somthing was off." He looked back, "as confussing as things are, i guess becuse i didn't come in to it all till later, i thought maybe she was telling the truth, that you were both combined." He shied, "I guess i really am a gullable one." He looked to yang, "I wish i knew this so long ago though. So much could have been permitted," he made a face, "if i knew then i would have at least understood. I know that your both connected you could have spared me some time there." He shied long and hard, "so what now Yang? You have your own body." Veria held up tthe otehr keria, "I guess that means all the romeses were fake..." she replied sadly. "I could not have known... they are both keria." Shortstraw looked back to Veria, "I think thats the least of our worries right now Veria." Veria looked to him sadly then to Yang Keria, "you are still connected however as you said, one cannot exsist without the other. You will have to stay within a certain distance from one enother... and if somthing happenes to one of you, the other will have the same effect. meaning for instance, if this keria stabbed her own chest, you would be stabbed aswell. If you did so, she would." Veria closed her eyes and weakly sat down, "I guess i failed again... to see any of this. I failed." She was in her mental state again, feeling everything was lie. It was her fault yet again, she didn't know, she didn't forsee it... meanwhile Shortstraw looked to yang Keria, "Are you going to go around and start distroying things now? Culse mayham, kill me." He asked relizing her was the only one standing directly up to the Yang Keria.

The other grinned and patted his head. "I exist only to make that Kiera stronger." She pointed. "What you people seem to forget is that I was never meant to exist in the first place. Kiera created me because she was so weak and suicidal all those years ago. When she was fine again, I wasn't just going to let her cut me off." She took a couple of steps back and span in a circle. "Oh and they weren't false promises, Veira. That is that Kiera's true wishes. That Kiera only wants everyone to be happy, and will do anything to keep the people she loves safe." She practically gagged. Asher now stood up to her. "If you only exist to make Kiera better then why did you keep her in a hell prison for three years?!" The other Kiera grinned and shook her finger from side to side. "I said Stronger, kitty. Not better. Keeping her in a prison taught her a lesson. Oh I do sure hope she learned her lesson." She took yet another few steps back away from them. "If wasn't going to tell you what I intend to do back when you confronted me, Shortstraw. Then what makes you think that I'll tell you now? The only thing that has changed is that I've changed bodies and you've now confirmed my identity." She looked back to Shortstraw with a twisted smile. "Although I suppose I still have a grudge against you. You were the one who ruined all my years of work, after all."

Shortstraw shrugged, "I didn't do anything! I don't even know all that happened! Keria dissapered and next thing i know the family get called to help keria not loose it becuse of the pool thingy. All i did there was try and make sure she didn't distroy everyone. Later i wake up to no home, no keria, and nothing. So for three years i find myself alone and abandionded. You tell me where i did somthing wrong! I've been just winging it since day one!" He made a pouting face, "All i want is to have a regualr life at least alittle. Can't i have that? Cant any of us have that at least alittle? How does any of this make her stronger, she only feels pain. I feel pain, they feel pain." He stepped after her, "i am sorta relieved alittle that its you in the end as far as identitys, but i dont understand so much... where did i go wrong." He asked her.

She licked her lips expectantly. "Oh dear, oh dear. Woodpecker doesn't even know. He doesn't know." She smiled and turned around again. "It wasn't even as recent as you're thinking. I knew there was something bothersome about you ever since you wrote her that letter." She stopped walking. "You got close to her, you changed her. You undid everything that I wormed into her mind." She spoke almost angrily. Then glanced to Asher, before looking back to the still unconscious Kiera, then finally to Shortstraw with a smile. "I'm not going to let you have a simple life because of this. I will continue making your life hell until you let go of Kiera. I would like you to let go of her. I want to work on her again. She's weak. She knows it. But she allows it for the sake of you and the others. If she no longer has any ties with any of you then she'll be open to my teachings once more." She dragged her tongue across her teeth. "You can have your simple life then." She turned around again.

Shortstraw looked away, "I can't. I can't do that becuse i made a promes to both of you..." He looked to Yang, "So i've been the problem all along huh. Okay. I admitt... perhaps that maybe alittle true. Things have drasticly changed for her from what i understand. However i'm not sure if it's for better or worse. You say worse, she says better, i'm so confussed i have no idea what to do about that. But i do know this, what your "TEACHING" her dosn't matter. You are her, thus she already knows whatever you do. I still count you both as two sides that equal one." he looked sadly, "i thoughti could help you, did i really jsut tear you appart?" He looked to asher, and veria who was watching them puzzled. He looked back and spoke softer, "maybei chose the wrong words for what i said before... i guess i asked for it."

The other started laughing manically, she couldn't manage to contain it until a few minutes passed. "If she already knew all the things I wish to teach her, then wouldn't she be different?" She looked almost tenderly back to Kiera. "Or is it that she's putting on an act, day in, day out?" She giggled and shook her head, looking to Shortstraw. "It's silly anyway. Me and her are different, obviously. I know what Kiera needs to know. I am her knowledge, her support." She looked almost innocently to him. "Without me, she is nothing. Clearly." She grinned. "I never cared what you counted me as, anyway. You're just an annoying pest. Always have been. Before you, I was the one Kiera depended on." Her face contorted. "Just stop talking to me like you talk to her. We're different." She shrugged. "It'd be better for all of you if you cut Kiera off. Promises are made to be broken, and all that s**t. Your lives may not be so complicated. You might not all be so sad all the time. Seriously. Just being around you makes me feel depressed. It's like an anti-happiness barrier over there."

*Shortstraw turned and backed away, he walked toword the group as he put his hands into his pockets. "Donte you and Veria need to watch after Ying. In the mean time the whole group will stay in this city and rest for a bit. Find a Inn, Donte and Soflora are in charge." He looked to Veria, "even over you." he looked back to them as he walked past, "i need alittle time. I will be there by nightfall... or so..." He kept walking. He didn't say anyting to asher. Perhaps he wanted her with him to talk to her, perhaps that wuldn't help either. He was confussed, unsure as to what to do. What yang said was true, but yet not at the same time. He didnt' know, he didn't know anything.

"Woodpecker needs a little time. Bless his angelic soul." She said obviously sarcastically. Asher hissed at the other Kiera and the other Kiera hissed back, although broke into a little laughter. "Go on. Do your job, pet demon. Be a good little kitty now." Asher scowled at her before she looked to Shortstraw. Whatever Asher would say wouldn't make much difference. She knew that at least, from experience. Mai was really confused. This girl was her master, but not? Why was his masters mate talking to her like that though? And the original one was lying on the floor unconscious. He was seriously confused, and whimpered as he approached the other Kiera. She actually crouched down and petted him. "Hey boy, things are a little stressed right now, aren't they?" He happily took the attention. "I have to thank you for what you've been to Kiera the past few years. You're not like those filthy humanoids." The other Kiera stared at Kiera for a little before she looked to Veira and Dante. "Look after her while I'm gone. I won't forgive you if you don't." The other Kiera disappeared in a burst of flames.

*Veria was even confussed. She held her head, "This is not a good timeing for all this..." she replied as she helded donte pick up the Ying Keria. Soflora on the other hand nodded, "Theres a Inn rigth over here. I saw it while we were in battle." Veria nodded, "The fuzetu will be undone when this keria wakes up, so for now it's just us seeing to our own room."
Meanwhile shortstraw was sitting on top of the tallest building he could find, in second city that was abandioned of all living things more or less. He stared at the ground in deep deep thought. He was afrade to make a decistion either way. he couldn't leave Ying to end up in prizenment again, to be torchered like that. But at the same time, Yang was right, and he knew it. This was beyond him. He didn't know, or have any of the answers. Could he be happy? that didn't matter, what mattered was if both kerias were happy. And that couldn't happen with him here. One loved him, the other dispised him. He was just a tear that made it all happen in time. If he didn't show up who knows what keria would be like. That much was true. He also relized while thinking, Veria only said what she said so he would relize he was missing the big pitcure. He was more worried about Asuka then anything else. She didn't know anything, but yet he was almost willing to hurt her int he process. She too was just innocent cought in all this. He just wanted Keria. If there was just one keria, just one, like a normal person then he would just have her decide. Becuse then it would be both sides together. Not one or the other. He sat there for hours, without moving much at all, just letting it all go into his head again and again. But there was nothing int he end still, no answer for either side. no ideas...

Somewhere in the human realm, Amelie had just got back to a random hotel after a rally in one of the cities that were still questioning her power. The second Amelie walked through the door. She was punched in the face, hard. She really wasn't expecting it, putting her guard down as she did, and she hit the wall opposite her door in the hallway and slid to the floor, keeling over in pain. "Ah, what the-" The other Kiera grabbed Amelie by the hair and lifted her up in to the air, then threw her into her room. "You've been a very naughty girl, mother." When Amelie finally opened her eyes to look upon her attacker, she was confused for a second. "Kiera...?" The door shut behind them and the room was in darkness. "No.. You're not Kiera.." The other Kiera grinned and leaned down to Amelie, pushing up her chin. "You're mistaken. I am Kiera. The proper Kiera. The Kiera you liked. The Kiera that you caused." Amelie writhed and shoved Kiera away from her. "I thought you were gone." Kiera shook her head. "I was River, Amelie. I infested his brain. Now, back to the matter at hand. What the hell do you think you're doing? You're going to cause what could be an apocalypse. You do know that right?" Amelie scowled over at her and leaned her back against the bed post. "Yes. Are you going to confront me? And we used to be such good friends.." Kiera folded her arms over her chest. "We're the same. But never were we friends. We had mutual goals." She tilted her head. "And yes. I am going to be standing in your way from now on."
