Welcome to Gaia! ::

He sets Kaori down on an empty bed, covering her with a blanket, to keep her warm. He sits by her, protecting, and watching.

Arpegius nods off, feeling extremly tired all of a sudden. His eyes close, and he breathes heavily, going into a deep sleep. He doesn't know why he is so tired, but he is all of a sudden.

* walks in to her office again neels down behind her and puts his arms on her sholders and dosnt say anything*

(i have to go, i'm going on a buisness trip, but i will have my trusty laptop!)

((night Arpegius))

*Hitoshi wakes kogashi up, still i the rafters. he sends a demon mind message to 9's new arm.*
[Hitohsi: So tell me mister or miss left arm what do you plan to do to your host there?]

Akki slept calmly wherever he was. He laid as still and breathed as quietly as though he was dead. None of his muscles moved. Not even the air he exhaled seem to rock the molecules around him. No noise reached his ears, no smell touched his nose, and even in his dreams he felt as though he was slipping away...

((This is in Akki's dream.))

Is this a dream...? Akki said as he peered down at his reflection in the pond. He stood on his hands and knees as he stared down in a world that to his realization was his current dream. Or actually, he was in the same dream he has told 9. He saw himself in the water and it gave him no reflection of his own image.

You are a dream. A voice echoed from the air around him. Akki jumped to his feet as he turned around and around to face the voice that was speaking to him.

What do you mean? Are you saying I am a fantasy created by one's sub-conscious? Akki asked, raising his voice to be heard. When he turned around a man in a cloak appeared. His eyes were shrouded under the cloth of the cloak, but his evil grin was apparent to the naked eye.

Just as you say, my dear dream. The man said and continued, You are the result of the dreams and desires of women through out the centuries. Handsome. Kind. Loving. Poetic. Gentle. A sense in music. A sense of humor. A sense of the world's knowledge His voice soon took on a different tone. Weak. Childish. Pathetic. Flawed. And no more graceful than a tumbling boulder.

Akki would have raised his desert eagles at the man for the insults, but found them to be missing. He tried to summon his demon form, his angel wings, even his puppy form of Cerberus, but it all failed. The man stepped closer to Akki as he patted his cheek.

My, my. Such hostilities. That woman of your's must have taught you that. The red haired one. So strong yet so delicate, she is. I do wonder how she found you so appealing. The man continued to taunt. Unable to take anymore, Akki raised his fist and released his punch into the man's jaw, but Akki only fell right through him and stumbled to the ground.

Then again, you must have been her dream come true. He said with a smirked then in disgust, I do say she has bad taste.

Akki stood up and took a fighting position in front of the man as he gritted his teeth. The man just frowned and grunted in disgust at the gung ho display of what would known as chivalry.

Enough of this mindless banter. I shall take what I have come for. He said and grabbed Akki's wrist, twisted it clockwise. Akki fell on his knees, wondering how he could feel such pain in a dream. My dear boy, have you not come to terms? You are a dream. Specfically I am your creator and you are my creation. Now, let us return home.

...

If anyone decided to check on Akki, they would see he was no longer there in bed. There would be no trace of him. No scent follow. In short, he just faded away.
