Welcome to Gaia! ::

Both Fai and Kurogane blinked in shock, before Fai burst into a fit of laughter.

"Our children?" Apparently Kurogane was still confused as to the question. He looked to the green and pink kitsu, then back to Lenneth. Back and forth. Three times. A sweatdrop formed on his head as he caught on. "Are you suggesting that....?!" Kurogane was dumbstruck. The insanity was too much! He did not believe his position could get any worse! "H-hold on! I'm not their actual daddy!!! They just call me that!"

Stopping his laughter, Fai smiled toward the black fitsu. "Hyuu, but Kurorin sure is childish!" No need to mention his own act of being so childish. He certainly didn't mind having that reputation. It was alot better than his old reputation from Celes. Besides, he enjoyed Kurogane's reaction each time!

((me too! well, night then ^_^))

"A walk outside sounds good since we don't really have a park." He smiled wondering what Ichijo was blushing about. "Oh you're right. Ighijo you should lay down for a bit your face does seem flushed." He put his paw on Ichijo's head. "Yeah you feel like you have a fever."

"Um okay then. A sercet? Sure, i have never told anyone a sercet that a friend didn't want told." He smiled and ate his 2nd to last sushi.

For a mortal, and an especially stupid one at that, Billy was sure giving Grim a run for his money. Grim kind of did give a bad name to Shinigami, didn't he? But then, most Shinigami would say that Ryuk did too, so he had no say on that matter. Still, it was a little embarassing to watch his friend being walked all over by this idiot. But as with most things, he could only take amusement in it.

Laughing, he nudged his sullen skeleton friend. "You gotta show him who's boss!"

His amusement was cut off at the mention of taking off his head. Clawed paw traced along his collarbone, where his neck appeared to be bolted to his chest. Seeing Billy approach, he began to flail. A very undignified Shinigami freak out.

"Whoa, no! My head doesn't come off! Get away!"

Altair was very cinfused when he said laws of nature. "But how can you..?" Though he was happy Ichijo trusted them he felt auward. "Well okay. So you're just part guy part girl. Whats wrong with that? We all have things they make us who we really are. That's what parts us. I might be very sparkly though you might be part girl and guy.Haruhi where's guys cloths and thats makes her diffrent. No one should be enbaressed to be diffrent."

Her ears leaned in close to Ichijo, listening to his every word. She didn't quite understand why he made it such a huge deal that he was both genders at once. Though it seemed almost surreal, she didn't really find it as such an enormous secret. She did understand that each person had their own demons to face, and that this was probably one of them for Ichijo. Yet he seemed so immersed in this one, that he seemed to have made it more than it really was.

What Altair said was honest truth. Even if this place was nowhere close to utopia, she knew that not many would look down upon Ichijo if he ever told them or if the secret ever spilled. She smiled softly at the kitsu, agreeing with all of what Altair just stated, "It's exactly as Altair-san says. And to be honest, it's no big deal what gender you are to us. You are you. Ichijo-san is Ichijo-san. No one can take that away from you." Haruhi patted the kitsu softly on the head, giving him a firm nod to support Altair and her reasoning. They both understood well enough. The two of them both accepted Ichijo, too. Regardless of anything, they were their own person and that was all that mattered.

"I assumed he was a family friend or close acquaintance if yours or the children." She shrugged her shoulders. Though obviously she was told otherwise. Her eyes wandered to that of the pale kitsu, studying him with intense care. She could see the expression on his face as he stared at the children. His hurtful expression puzzled her. Why would he feel sad staring at the children? They seemed healthy, both physically and mentally. Something was missing in the piece of this puzzle. What price did the children pay in order to travel? More so than that, what did all of them have to pay?

Lenneth sighed at the thought. Whatever price it was must have been a painful one to give up. The playful kitsu would not stare at them with such pain otherwise.

"Mommy~ That's what Fai would be, of course~" Mokona teased while giggling. He wanted to lighten up the mood for all of them since Fai stared at Syaoran with such sadness in his eyes.

Fai snapped out of his daze, sensing the female kitsus eyes on him. He looked up at her briefly, giving a soft smile to show that everything was fine. Had he really let his mask slip that much? He'd have to be more careful, seeing as how attentative Lenneth was. Fai step up from behind Lenneth to seat himself slightly next to her. "Hyuu! Mokona, I'm afraid I'm not a good mommy, letting Kuropii acting so rude."

Kurogane pinned his ears back. "I'll act however I want! And I think you and that porkbun are seriously confused." Who had made up this whole family thing anyways?! He couldn't remember if it was Fai or Mokona, as both there antics just blurred together and were never-ending. 'I need some sake!' Kurogane flicked about his tails, as it seemed to be a good method of calming his nerves.
