Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuan watched as all of this took place. Standing there, waiting, wondering. He picked up a rock and twirled it between his fingers for a few minutes, then dropped it. He looked at his blade, breathed on a section and wiped it on his haori. As he turned back to watch the shinigami and their antics, he couldn't help but chuckle. Well now, this is interesting. I swear, I must share this discovery with my fellow Hollow. It seems that, so long as we stand still, no matter what we do, ceros, Grand Rey Cero, Shinigami won't attack. They just stand there and take it! This is outstanding! We'll have the entire world under our control in no time. Hehe! But seriously now. I find it amazing that I've been standing here for roughly twenty minutes, causing all sorts of havoc, and I have yet to be touched! Its amazing! But seriously... Yuan's smile grew more devious. You should have taken me out when you had the chance. Without warning, Yuan shot off to the side with sonido. He reappeared atop the roof of an apartment complex just a little ways away on the edge of the park... Right behind Hatsume. Its getting a little crowded here for my taste. Why don't you all figure out whatever it is you need to figure out before you actually get serious. Meanwhile my little friend here and I are going to take a little trip! Yuan snapped, a Garganta opening behind him. Through the dark tunnel of spasming energy, a familiar sky was visible. It was Sereitei. I suggest you have your little pep-talks BEFORE you decide to follow me, lest you bore me into cutting her throat. Yuan said, holding his blade up to her neck. With that, Yuan jumped back into the gaping black maw, which closed quickly behind him.

((Sorry I was pulled away from the computer friday and just got on))
Ogato was pondering on weather he should agree with the deal or not. Since Ogato was staring at Yuan most of the time he noticed when he moved. Since he was concentrated on the deal he hadn't realized that he was standing next to Hatsume until he grabbed her. Ogato quickly shunpoed towards the two but wasn't fast enough.

Turning to Angel and Kurai with a look of rage he said, "Bet or no bet I'm going to kill him now for sure now. I've failed to keep my promise three years ago about helping my captive friends but now I will do." Ogato looked at the sun and said with a raised clenched fist, "I'll get her back even if I have to get my entire squad to hold down that arrancar b*****d while I bet the hell out of him."

Since Xeion was still half-sad, he hadn't noticed that he had led the two of them, Rakey-chan and Yuu-chan, into the park so early in the morning. He still had an awkward sense of direction since his mind was to preoccupied of forcing himself to smile, trying to hide his true feelings from his friend and little sister.

Looking around the park, Xeion saw that there was only a handful of people there. It was to be expected -- nobody went out to the park at this early in the morning. The dew and cold, night air was still fresh on Xeion's face and lips as he stopped in his tracks, waiting for the two others behind him to follow.

Turning his head to one-side, he let out a smile while he pointed at the nearby playground. "Lookie, there's a good spot!" Xeion exclaimed, running over like a child to one of the swing sets and sat there, starting to swing, pumping his legs to increase the momentum of his swings. "This is fun!" he shouted, but he really didn't mean it. Xeion was desperately trying to forget about the pain in his heart by trying to drown it out by spending time with Rakey-chan and Yuu-chan.

Rakey walked following Xeion's foot steps, literally. In the dirt and grass, his footsteps were imprinted. Yet, she felt like something was wrong with Xeion, so she was trying to 'walk in his footsteps', metaphorically, as well.

Suddenly, Xeion started yelling, but he seemed too enthusiastic. She shook her head side to side trying to stop her critical thinking. She slipped her heels off. Having them hang on her fingers she skipped over to the swing beside him, and sat. Looking at the ground, she pushed herself lightly and dropped her heels a few feet over to the side where they wouldn't be in the way. "Hrmm...." she mumbled thinking. "Xeion?" she asked looking over at the swinging man. Rakey was curious to figure out what the rose was for, and who it was for.

Nirro stopped running when he got about ten feet away from Xeion. "NIRRO,NIRRO SLOW THE FUDGE DOWN," Zen-su shouts at Nirro. "You need to shut up, get that log out of your butt and have some fun," Nirro said calmly. When Nirro directed his attention to Xeion he notices that there was with him was a Arrancar, but Nirro remained calm. He also notices that both of them weren’t as happy as they appeared to be. "Hey man how is it," Nirro was cut off when a tripped and landed on his face. He purposely did that to broke the ice and at least make one of them laugh.

Seeing Niiro-san fall down, Xeion stood up from his seat and helped the poor boy up, dusting off his clothes while he did. Sitting back down on the swings, he gave Niiro-san a sad smile then answered his question from before. "Hey there. No, nothing is wrong...," murmured Xeion, slightly laughing to himself to release some of the pain he felt in his heart. But for some reason, the pain was still there. It tugged at his heart strings, but he made sure nobody would see it. His pain would be his secret.

Xeion's smile stopped and he bobbed his head down. "Rakey-chan...," he asked softly, slowly tilting his head up to meet her gentle, yet worried, gaze. "Have you ever loved someone...and let that someone down?" asked Xeion, intently waiting for her to reply to his question.
