Welcome to Gaia! ::

Liz saw Darius enter the stands again. It suprised her to see him back so quickly and knew something had gone wrong. She went over to him immidiatly and sat down, looking at him with great concern.

"What's wrong Darius? What happened?" Liz asked him as she looked at him, and he looked at the ground.

Liz half wanted to roll her eyes and say 'I can see that. but what happened?' However, she resisted and patted his back lightly.

"Wanna tell me about it?" She asked, giving him the option to confide in her if he wanted, but if he wanted to just keep it to himself, he could do that too....although Liz really wanted to know what had happened that put Darius in such a sad mood.

Liz listened to the story nodding as he talked, her eyes getting wider and wider as he went. This behavior was totally unlike Lily. What was going on with her anyway? It seemed that Liz couldn't figure her out, and Liz was part of her. Half of her soul to be exact.

"Darius. I'm so sorry....Lily....she's just....going through a rough spot I guess. This isn't like her at all...." Liz said...though, now that she thought about it. Lily was like this...or atleast she used to be. Hard, blunt, usually injured. This was the Lily that used to be. The one that fought nearly everyday for a living....But why did Lily want to be like that again?

Liz looked at him with saddened eyes.

"Hey, it'll be ok. Those wings have caused some trouble yea, but they've also helped quite abit too. Think about those times in the gorge when Lily was stuck, or you needed to get out of there fast. Yea those wings helped there, and when you needed to help Derek over that wall to get inside the building where Lily was fighting....as for Lily, maybe things will work out....maybe you'll meet someone new. Anything could happen Darius. Don't give up just yet..." Liz said, thinking about how Lily was changing. She doubted that if her transformation was completed, that Lily would come back to Darius, but if she could just remember all the great times she'd had with him, maybe that would change her mind. And if it didn't, well Liz would always be here for him.

Ai is a slayer, but she never really shows it. With that mask of smiles and glow, she never shows her slayer side, and never wants to. When she is in her slayer mode, she won't let anything in her way to achieve her goal, even if it means to kill a friend or to take away something you love, she'll do that without any feelings. She will even push aside her feelings, she doesn't care, when she is a slayer nothing really matters to her.

But Ai hates being a slayer, she hates it. She hates how she has to act cold to everyone even her enemy, she's always wrapped in things she cannot win, and she mostly hates killing a devil. Why? Because, to her, everyone deserves a second chance. Why? Because no matter the differences, you're still the same at heart. Thats why Ai ran away from her past, but it seems her past has caught up to her yet again.

Ai smiled, like it was no big deal that she was slayer, as she scratched the back of her head and undoing her hair. She took out her hair scrunchy and let her long lavender hair unravel.

"Yeah, I was actually there to train from a battle I was in a few months ago. I really needed the training. But I promised myself I wouldn't use my slayer moves in this tournament" she said as she placed her hair scrunchy around ehr wrist. Feena stared at Ai, but mostly at her wings. If you even knew anything about angels, the're suppose to have white wings than purple. Ais wings are rare, and she wished for them. In fact, she was never born with wings, she was suppose to never have them. Until Hiro took Ai to a wishing tree, where the forest spirit grants your wish if you have a true heart.

"Eh? Me leaving? No NO No" she said waving her hands sideways as she shook her head and her lavender eyes looking over at the confused Tiff. "A slayer isn't all that, Tiff" she said with yet another soft laugh.

Darius's eyes widened as he stared at the floor. Did he just hear what he thought he heard? Liz...loved him? He didn't know what to say...he turned and hugged Liz...holding her close to him, he let the tears roll down gentley, he didn't know about Lily, but he didn't care, he was loved...It was a selfish thing really, wanting love, but for Darius, who only knew love from one person needed it, having been rejected for 5 years and it came from the other half of that same person.

Darius chuckled lightly, "I'll forgive you for those times..."

Darius then thought about something. Liz was Lily, sort of, more like the yin to her yang and the did form togeather to create the Lily that was there a few days ago. Maybe...he too loved both of them...he wasn't sure...he thought about testing this theory, but then stopped thinking it. He didn't want to make it hard on the three of them...

Darius stared at her for a moment and shook his head.

"No I guess she wouldn't."

He stood up and walked back and forth, pacing, it seemed very wierd from afar but he was indeed thinking about tesing the theory, but he kept on thinking about how it could go wrond, he was so focused he didn't notice a small pair of ice cubes on the ground.

He naturally stepped on them and began to slip falling towards Liz and in a meer 5 seconds Darius found himself on top of Liz, thier lips connecting.
