Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuri continued to walk without talking, for she had not answered his question but if she had not been paying attention or did not hear it then there was not much he actually wanted to do to change it. The relaxation that came from the silence of the two of them as they walked was pretty peaceful. When the lake came into view though, he looked to his side at her again and seeing sh ewas still there he continued to walk over to the lake...standing absently in the middle of the vacant grasses near the water. "Here we are I guess..." he said this and right afterward noticed the familiar scent really close by. Suka was in the same area as him now, for maybe the fourth time but that he was here the same time as Kana had him worried for her...what if something happened again? Yuri would step in sooner this time, because it would obviously be deliberate and there didn't seem like there would be much more information for him to gather from such. He noticed that Suka was quietly sitting under a tree, and as he turned to say something else to Kana he noticed also that Kenzi was coming nearer. If he and Kana migrated a litte further toward the lake, maybe ended u on the other side of it, then they would be pretty clear of any conflict and it could easily guarantee that Kana was safely out of the way. Suka and Kenzi could keep each other occupied for as long as was necessary...probably longer though, in truth.

Kana continued alongside him in silence, many random thoughts running through her head. But then she suddenly paused for a few seconds before jumping back into place beside him. "Ah, I forgot to answer!" she cried rather loudly, feeling strangely bad for not doing so. She felt like she'd ignored him... Hopefully he wouldn't see it that way? She bit her lip as her ears flattened, drooped, and then perked again. "I've been her for... about a month, I guess. I'm not really sure... It's hard to keep track, since a lot has happened. And I spent a week in France!" she added excitedly, beaming happily up at him. She was tempted to spin in a circle, and actually started to, when she suddenly stopped again and calmed herself. Though, her tail was flicking very quickly behind her.

Then they arrived at the lake, and her eyes widened very slightly. For a body of water, she had to admit it was still very wonderful. I wonder if Karin's been here? she thought quietly to herself, tilting her head just slightly. She watched as Yuri moved closer to the water, and hesitated before moving forward as well. Though, she stopped just a bit behind him. She stared straight at the water when her ears suddenly perked again. But, it was a scent that'd alerted her, and not a sound. Her eyes widened slightly but she didn't look up from the water. She smelled that guy, Suka, somewhere close... but she was scared to look around for him. What if she did something to offend him again? She wanted to apologize for whatever had happened last time, but now that he was around she was too scared to. She instead just stood perfectly still, staring at the water as she tried to act like she hadn't noticed anything. Yet, it was pretty obvious something was wrong since her eyes were so wide and her ears had flattened back.

Yuri listened to her answer and nodded. "It hasn't been too much longer...that seems less complicated then." he said this and then seeing the way she looked at the water, he realized she had noticed Suka. He also saw out of the corner of his eye that Kenzi had made his way over to a tree and had a girl with him. Kenzi would probably not take note of the girl when the fight actually started...but he couldn't worry about that because he needed to make Kana comfortable first. So he started to walk slowly around the lake. "Come one...let's move to the other side." He said it politely, and made sure to omit the reasoning for the travel. Yuri looked back at her afterward, as he made sure she might follow...though before he was sure he turned back around and held out his arm. His scythe appeared in it shortly afterward, andhe let it slide out until his hadn was closer to the edge of where he was supposed to hold it so that te blade was now skidding across the water. This helped keep him in one direction and from going to quickly. Maybe it would give her more time to figure out that he was leaving to the otherside-if she had not heard him.

Kana kept her gaze fixedly upon the water, still trying to figure out what to do. The thing she hoped most for was that Suka just wouldn't notice her, though she didn't think that very likely for some reason. But then she realized another had approached. Actually, two others. She chanced a quick glance towards them, surprised to see the male was leading the way towards Suka. But she quickly looked away again, flattened ears perking against slightly as she heard Yuri. "K-k..." she said quietly, hurrying after him. She did slow, however, as she saw the scythe appear. She didn't want to randomly rush up behind him and end up hurting herself, somehow. It seemed like something she would do. She blinked a couple times, watching the ground now to keep herself from looking back at Suka and the others who'd now approached him. She wondered if Yuri was just moving away because Suka was near, as she was sure he must have noted him by now. He probably had even before she. Her hands clutched the bottom of her shirt nervously as she walked quickly, bare feet silent in the grass. Her ears twitched and she shifted her gaze to watch the trailing weapon now, as it skimmed across the water. Now she walked rather close behind Yuri, not pulling up beside him, and keeping her head bowed.

Kana continued after Yuri, head bowed to the ground, so she nearly ran into him when he stopped. She froze just in time, and blinked a few times before raising her head again. Now that she was looking up again, she noticed Yuri was staring over at someone else. She glanced towards them too, but then shifted her attention back towards Suka and the other guy. Her ears perked and tiled towards Yuri as he spoke, and she very slowly nodded her head, eyes slightly wide. Start something? They were going to fight? Her hands tightened their hold upon the hem of her shirt, which was still stained with blood from her little bout with Suka just earlier. She hadn't found a chance to change yet, so she was still bloody. She frowned faintly to herself, looking back to the water. "Ok..." she replied quietly, nodding her head once. Honestly, she'd rather not see Suka or anyone fight. If there was one thing she hated, that was it. Did they even have a reason? Some past grudge? Grudges were pointless in her opinion, but it seemed a lot of people didn't share that belief. She bit her lip now, glancing up twards the two once more. She didn't want to watch, but at the same time did, so she could see if everyone was alright or not. Come to think of it... Had Suka recovered from the damange Yuri had inflicted upon him?

Makana walked in a daze to find herself at a lake. She was taken by suprise that she was there. Then she jumped back behind a tree. There were people around the lake already. She knew she never did well at meeting new people. But I'm fine as soon as I get to know the person! She growled to herself. Then another thought went through her mind. It isn't as though anyone trys to get to know me. Her face hardened at the saddening thought. She wiped away almost noexistant tears that were barely there because she held them in well. Then she jumped upward quickly onto a tree branch. She laid in the fork of the trunk and branch and rested her eyes.

Suka:
He waited for Kenzi's reply, hearing it and knowing the answer. He was about to smart off at him, but Kenzi cut him off and gave the exact reason that he'd been thinking of. He watched a girl get in the water, and glanced over at Kana for a moment, just to see how she and Yuri were doing at that particular time. He was just looking back up at Kenzi when he felt his should pushed with Kenzi's foot...it was obvious that it was no accident and he could tell that Kenzi was trying to aggrivate him. For the same reason that Kenzi was here, it worked and Suka leapt off from the ground raising his foot and hitting Kenzi in the stomach. He quickly pulled his leg away afterward and landed on all fours on the ground, turning his head around to face Kenzi and leaping to his feet a few feet away. When at this distance he pulled out a dagger and sent it at Kenzi's shoulder as he stopped sliding. He thought for a moment, and in Kenzi's recollecting himself Suka pulled off his shirt. He'd just been given the shirt for this reason...when he pulled it off he revealed that the wounds from Yuri's attacks were still there. With all that Kenzi threw at him, there would be a little more pain than normally and there'd be more bleeding than normally would have been. That was a large disadvantage for Suka...

Yuri nodded and smiled "Thank you..." and with that he stood again. He looked over at them and noticed that another girl had entered and went and seemingly hid behind a tree, though with little interest in her he did not pay full attention. What caught his attention instead was that there was the girl who'd been with Kenzi now swimming in the water...if she was in the water he could not use his Lightning attacks to either split Suka and Kenzi up or protect them...so all he had was his Black Flame, Shadows, Dark, and Light energies. These were plenty but he always seemed to build his strength with the Lightning of the Seven Sins...and this girl being in the water kept him from being able to do his best to protect the four girls currently at the lake. He waited and then watched as Kenzi shoved Suka and received a retailiating blow to the chest. His heart began to beat a little faster in anticipation as he saw the girl in the water swim closer to the middle and then dive under...Kenzi had his Dark Lightning as a primary attack. What if that was attracted to water as Yuri's lightning was? He began to pay more attention to Ananda than the fight as he began to worry about he being in the water...though he still did stay by Kana as he would until he was needed elsewhere.
