Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Xeion saw Yuu-san play with the other kids, he smiled at this and thought that she might want something to drink since she'd obviously be tired after playing with the children. Therefore, Xeion walked out of the toy store and into a nearby juice bar to buy her some orange juice since he probably thought that Yuu-san would like that kind of juice, especially since the juice bar Xeion went into was widely popular among the high schoolers who said that their juices tasted great. When he got there, however, there was a long line, so Xeion had to wait for several minutes before it was finally his turn to buy from the counter.

Coming back, Xeion heard a loud scream coming from inside the store, and so did the staff, as they searched as to where the scream came from. After a few minutes, they eventually arrived at the source of the crying noises -- it was Yuu-san, kneeling on the floor and hugging her bunny as tears flowed from her eyes. "Is she yours?" asked one of the staff and Xeion nodded. "Yeah, she is. She's...my little sister," said Xeion, smiling when he said 'little sister'.

Walking up to Yuu-san, he knelt down and presented her with the juice he got her. "Here, Yuu-san; you must be tired," Xeion murmured. "I'm sorry for leaving you for a while, but I did because I got you juice. We're you scared? It's my fault. Please forgive me."

Without saying a word, Xeion gently hugged the girl who was crying her eyes out on his chest. "Silly rabbit, didn't I say that I would take care of you? I'm a man who likes to keep promises, especially something as important at this," whispered Xeion, caressing her little head and allowed her to cry until she had calmed down. "It's okay, don't worry. I'll never leave you alone. Ever. From now on, I'll stay by your side and watch over you. I'll protect you, always and forever." As soon as he said those words, Xeion remembered the time when he was with Rin-chan. The situation was somewhat similar to this when, after their private training, Xeion promised Rin-chan to watch over her, adopting her as his sister soon after. "Come on, stop crying now. I'm here and I won't leave you alone."

"W-What?!?!?" Xeion shouted out loud that his voice was heard throughout the entire store and his face also went slightly red. "You...you mean to tell me...," said Xeion, but stopped when he saw her innocent face. She didn't mean to, but it put Xeion in a very awkward position. Quickly, Xeion picked up Yuu-san with one hand and her stuffed bunny with the other, going to the counter as quickly as he could so that he could pay for it and go to the clothing shop next to the toy store.

"Thank you for shopping, sir," said the clerk, handing Xeion the bag with Yuu-san's white bunny in it. With a smile, he bade goodbye to the clerk and hurriedly went next door where he was greeted by several female sales attendants. Talk about a stroke of luck. "Excuse me, lovely ladies, but would you care taking care of my sister here? She...well...went to the bathroom without really going to the bathroom, and I can't...go 'down there', if you know what I mean," said Xeion, growing red out of embarrassment. "Give her some new clothes as well and put her current ones in a bag. I promise I'll give you all a huge tip."

At once, the female sales clerks nodded and took Yuu-san to the in-store bathroom and would then take her to the dressing room where they themselves would give her a new set of clothes so that she wouldn't have to go home wearing her clothes which reeked of the pungent smell of urine. All this was going on, Xeion patiently waited inside the store, rubbing his forehead out of stress, but still smiling. "Remember, Xeion; you're doing this for Yuu-san," he murmured to himself.

Xeion saw just how cute Yuu-san was now. Before, he had thought that Yuu-san was already cute enough, with her white poncho, designed like a rabbit, but now she was just darling. The clothes complimented her little frame and her mannerisms, including the attachment to the bag which held her white poncho, clearly visible. Hearing the clerk's remark, he simply nodded at the clerks. "Thank you all for your help, ladies. I'll be sure to recommend this store and you three to my friend, Ky," said Xeion, handing over his credit card to the clerks then motioning over to Yuu-san to come over to his side.

As the both of them waited for the receipt, Xeion patted Yuu-san on her head. He looked at her and smiled. "You seem to value that poncho a lot. The one who gave it to you must be very important to you, ne?" asked Xeion. "It's workmanship is nothing fancy, but you value that article of clothing as if it were made of something more than gold. It just goes to show you that even something simple can be worth something astronomical to a person who values it enough."

Xeion recognized her situation as it was the usual case with every Revenant. Those Revenants who have been scheduled to be sent off to the spirit world to suppress their unusually strong Angra Mainyu usually have their memories erased, especially the ones that can trigger abnormal fluctuations in their Angra Mainyu's power, so that they won't have any reason return to those things hence securing the safety of every living person in the the surrounding area as well as maintain the balance of the cosmos. Xeion knew this very well, and he himself still has memories he can't seem to remember, no matter how hard he tried.

After hearing her story, he tried to comfort Yuu-san. "I'm sure that old woman loved you like her own daughter and it's right for you to treasure your poncho like that. Everyone needs someone in this world, and you're lucky you're able to find someone like that. I'm guessing that she must be watching over you even as we speak, so it's best that you don't show her that you're sad just to let her know that, even when she's gone, you can still smile; you can still be happy."

Xeion reassured the young Yuu-san by patting her on the head. "Well, that really wonderful place is a big, big mansion where you can do whatever you want in," said Xeion. "It's really big and the people there are really nice, but that's nothing compared to the real place I'm taking you to. However, you need to be a good girl in order to get in, so while you're trying your best to become a good girl, you get to stay at the mansion!" exclaimed Xeion. Truth be told, Xeion knew that he wasn't going to be able to return to the Sereitei for a while as it had been taken over by Arrancar. However, Xeion didn't want Yuu-san to hear that; he had promised to take her back to the Sereitei with him, and he would do everything in his power to see it happen. For now, he just hoped that Yuu-san bought his story so that it could buy him some time while they amassed an entire force to take back the Sereitei as soon as possible.

"That's a good girl, Yuu-san. At this rate, it won't be long before you're good enough to enter it with me, haha" Xeion said, smiling at Yuu-san, amused at the little girl's determination. Xeion felt bad for deceiving a young lady as it was against his principles as a gentleman, but he only wanted to protect her fragile heart from finding out that the so-called paradise was currently taken over by hollows. "Well, if you don't have anything else you want to do, we can leave now and take you to that place I was talking about," offered Xeion, waiting for Yuu-san's reply.
