Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ishira went to the bed, pulling the covers over so that she would be able to curl under them. She put Kyuu at the end of the bed, leaving her within Ishiras sight and touch if anyone bothered them. She highly doubted that anyone could get here, but at the least she was always prepared. Kyuu stayed quiet, and even with their connection going strong, Ishira couldnt read what the thing was thinking. She shrugged, taking her tunic off, before her red eyes scanned the room one more time. No one was there, no one would be there, she needed to remember that. But she was human, and without Neko around she was nervous. Sure, Kyuu could cut and kill but Ishira could easily die before she could strike.

A shiver ran up Ishiras back and she shook her head. Too bad Neko hadnt followed... It sucked being alone in this form.. She stepped to the bed, smoothing over the sheets with her hands and taking in the feel of it. It had been a while and she wasnt even sure she would be able to sleep. She crawled onto the bed like a small child, slowly and carefully like the thing would eat her if she didnt. Pulling the blankets over her she got an old scent of Neko. He hadnt been on this bed in a while, but it still remembered him. She smiled, laid her head down, and quickly greeted the sleep.

Many hours later Ishira woke up. Her eyes were still closed but an annoying ticking had woken her ears to the real world, and taken her away from her dreams. She squirmed under the warm blankets and forced her eyes open into red slits. Brows furrowed she closed them again, not wanting to get up. Her head ached, along with the rest of her body as it told her that she was going to wake up and deal with it. She hated resting because of this. As a human she could deal with so much, tune out the pain until she went to sleep. But once she woke it was like the pain was completely new. Her mind couldnt tune it out soon enough. Ishiras uncurled herself under the covers, touching the cold places her body hadnt touched and also Kyuu.

Your up! Kyuu sounded excited, and when Ishira turned their connection back on she was hit with that excitement. Ishira yelped, her hands going to her head as she controlled their connection until it didnt hurt to have the sudden rush of emotions get to her. She popped up, the blankets pooling at her waist as the cool air nipped at her skin. Growling she looked at Kyuu.

"Great, this is great, how much use am i going to be if im sore.." Ishira got out of the covers.

You just bare through it or dont do it. Kyuu sounded pleased but it only made Ishira more irritated.

"Rhetorical question..." Ishira grumbled as she slipped the tunic back on and grabbed Kyuu. That confused the Blade and Ishira just rolled her eyes. "Dont ask..." She said as she walked back to Neko, still tired, and ever muscle aching.

"Theres no such thing as sleeping well when im your student..." Ishira growled in response to his look he had given her. He had done something in the time that she had been asleep, which made her weary on what he was planning to do to her. She hadnt noticed her breathing was off and though his hands were nice against her the way he acted totally threw her off. She wanted to know more bur didnt ask anything as she tied Kyuu to her back again. She was still groggy, and stumbled a bit as she walked. Her aching muscles werent giving or being cooperative with her. Definitely not the greatest ways to wake up but she dudnt hesitate to follow Neko as he left the room. "What we will be learning this time?"

Ishira looked at the tank, and to Tabris, a small smile spreading across her face before she heard what Neko had to say. Kyuu was going through many thoughts when all of the sudden she stopped. It was like Ishira had turned the thing off again, but she hadnt. Kyuus thoughts were blank which made Ishira wonder whether the thing wanted a body or not... It would be interesting, but would it mean the blade would be destroyed and of no use after that? Ishira looked to Neko with curious eyes.
"I think Kyuuketsuki would want a body, but what would happen to the blade? As far as control, i think you only have as much control over something as far as it allows you to. " Ishira was sure that probably wasnt the answer he wanted but that was what she believed.

Ishira wasnt sure what to say at first, it was a lot to take in. For one, she never had full control over something, never thought it was possible, let alone did she ever want that type of control... The he tells her Ally and Reeve have these seals. That all his experiments do. Did that mean Reeve was controlled by him? Ishi felt a pang of anger flow through her. So then it had been a game? Reeve had been playing with her? She didnt like that thought. Her hand went over the cloth of her tunic, where the scar on her chest was underneith. She gently rubbed, looking down and biting her lip as she tried to think reasonably about the situation. Was she being played? She wasnt sure... And then there was Ally, her friend... More questions rose up from the simple things he was saying.

"I would never allow that on me if i knew what it was... You didnt put it in this seal did you Neko?" Her voice was harsh and her eyes narrowed. She took a step away from him, touching Kyuu lightly. "What strange things are you talking about? Do i need to worry about what your going to do to me?"

Ishiras eyes watched him carefully as he put his armor down. It seemed like a sign that he wasnt going to attack her, and her fingers moved back to her palms, but she still kept her hand close to Kyuu. It was unnerving how calm Neko could be when she was freaked out, and how his smile could calm her easily. She wasnt happy, not one bit about what he had said.

"If it kills, then its full control Neko... Im glad that you can trust me, but i wouldnt mark you with something like that.. Your far too..." She stopped, looking down at his arm as her hands became tight fists to either side of her. She couldnt do that to him, he was too important, though shed never say it. "Dont so that, not after telling me Reeve is yours.... Ill learn this seal, but i dont want to use you..." She was mad, but at the same time confused. Another step back.

"So you had no control over his actions?" Ishira was a bit hopeful, though she knew Reeve hated her now, it was good to know he wasnt playing with her then. She let out a sigh of relief and her pulled her hands out of their tight fists, returning color to the white knuckles. "Yes, i was trying to think what you would have to gain if you had your own creation try and kill you... Unless your suicidal, which i know your not..." She smirked, looking away from his arm as he put it down and back to him. So they had their own free will then? That was good to know... She considered the mark and wanted to growl at herself. No, she wouldnt let him mark her like that, she wanted to be able to do things her way, and not worry that some one else would kill her... Then again with the Hunters, it wasnt like she could decide when she wanted to die.... Her smile stood though, through all of her thoughts until he said something that confused her.

"Then why would you offer my mark on you Neko? If you dont want some one to control you that way, why would you even consider me? If you dont want me to bear something you wouldnt, then why are you willing to let me mark you? Dont tell me its trust Neko, dont tell me its because im your friend. I would never let some one mark me with just those reasons and im sure i know you wouldnt either."

Not the answer she wanted. Ishira growled, following him and grabbing a hold of his wrist. He turned to her before she could swing him around and it caused her to jump, startled for a moment before she glared at him again.

"No Neko, your not doing that, your not telling me things without actually saying them. Cut the crap, tell me it without making it a game that leaves us both confused. " Her grip tightened on him before she took in a deep breath. He wouldnt tell her unless she said what he wanted her to. Her chest tightened and it became hard for her to breath, let alone think of something to say. "Yes, i feel something, i feel something i dont want to.. I dont want to become your Ally, i dont want to have the emotions that lead to... To giving you everything i am... But either way you keep confusing the hell out of me with the small things that you do... I would never let Kyuuketsuki hurt you or even try to kill you in any way. Thats the only reason ill agree to the Seal but hell im sure i will never need to use it. Shes having too much fun with the s**t your putting me through to even care now. "

"And i do for you, but i think its more then just caring at this point and like you said its unintentional... Ill deal with your confusion... I should have been able to deal with it to begin with." Her eyes softened and she looked right at Tabris. The thing still interested her and she licked her lips considering what it would be like to fight Tabris as a human. Anything, everything, just something to keep her mind distracted. Why had she just said all of that to him... She was slipping, her thoughts spilling out in front of her when she was sure she had them hidden in the back of her mind.

"What are we going to do with Tabris?" She said as she rubbed her temples with the tips of her fingers.
