Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I know." Kazuhiko mused quietly. "But we might be able to trap him.... This isn't a fight we can win or lose. It's about stealth, thievery, and getting out as fast as we possibly can."
He frowned, beginning to pace. "Shi-chan isn't effective on Aoikage-kun, but she can distract Aoki-san well enough I don't doubt. First we have to talk to Ava-kun. He has the weapon ready, he said..." he tapped on his temple. "I have to hide my Hunter power most likely also... I have a feeling he'd be too greedy for it. I'm going to need to hang onto that one at least... And we'll need to get Eara-chan too." he nodded. "She can summon another goddess who won't be very happy with Konton. She can keep up with Aoikage too I bet, or if she teaches me, maybe I can... I need to get bigger somehow!" he frowned, clearly displeased. "If I get bigger, I'll grow stronger, and then I can beat Aoikage but not kill him."

Yuki tilted her head. "Bet he's dreaming about you." she murmured, glancing to the sister. "Who else would he have to apologize to?"

Yuki shook her head, laughing softly. "What? Me? No... Not at all. I don't think I could ever be mad at Watari-san, if anyone should be angry it should be him at me. I know I've gotten in the way a few times, broken a few of his machines.... He's done nothing besides given me a job in his department, and plenty of work." she smiled cheerfully. "I absolutely adore it."

Kazuhiko frowned. "Okaasan might know." he sighed. "Maybe... Maybe Auntie Eara knows! I wonder if I could shapeshift into being older???"
The boy's mind was going a billion miles a second when everyone else was cruising at 40-60MPH...
He was GOING to figure this out, he HAD to.
"Isn't there somewhere on Earth I can train?" he added, perking up. "I seem to remember hearing about a tower..."

"So what do we do then? The only way anyone can fight Aoikage is if they're as strong as him, and that's me. I have to be older to fight him anyhow." he frowned. "I don't like this Otousan..."
Kazuhiko was finicky, but a bit hellbent on getting his way.
"Besides, I'm going to live forever Otousan."

Yuki blinked a few times, shaking her head. "You know, I really don't know." she answered truthfully. "Shiori said we had jobs one day... I guess the Ou hired her or something. I asked if he would have me as an assistant under him... He said yes. There isn't much to it sadly, but I'm grateful all the same."

Yuki smiled secretly. "Where my peers had crushes on the musicians and actors, I always had one on Watari, yes... It was always my dream to work with him. Not bad looking, no, but looks will fade... He's the most brilliant Tarnbjin alive, a genius...! But I wouldn't want to rush things. I'm not sure how he feels about me, although his friends say he acts funny. He did blush the other day... it was adorable." she giggled.
It was weird to act this way, but Yuki felt she could trust Hapushi.
After all, she was the legend's sister.
"To be here is like a dream come true to be honest.... I'm just glad he's alive and well."

Kazuhiko sighed. "But we NEED to defend ourselves against AOIKAGE and if we can't fight HIM we DEFINITELY can't fight KONTON." he pulled on his hair. "What are we going to do?!"

Kazuhiko sighed. "Then what do we do about Mum, because losing her is going to take that from me one way or another. What choice do we have Otousan??"
He was getting really, really frustrated. "She's going to die!"

Yuki blushed herself, hiding her cheeks in her arms, which were hugging her knees. "The people with the most brains have the most power Hapushi-chan." she smiled. "He's very well respected in the scientific community, almost a god even... Aled may have brawn and brains, but Watari far outweighs him in the latter. He's so fascinating... I wonder what goes on in that head of his?"

Kaguyo nodded a bit. "I'll help." she agreed.
"He has wings." Kazuhiko nodded.
"Perfect, then wind will work wonders against him." the woman smiled softly.
"Then.... you and I fight Konton, Otousan??? But what about Mum?? And what about Aoki???"
"I can fight.....sorta..." Shiori frowned. "Maybe we can lure Aoki here..?"
"But that doesn't save Okaasan, Konton-baka will use her against us."

Yuki actually DIDN'T know, but she certainly did now.
What an intriguing ability...!! If anything, she wasn't sure if Watari had said something about it or not...
If so, she probably should've taken him more seriously.
"Why should it matter?" she smirked, almost devilishly. "I'm sure he...she... looks just as attractive whichever way he... she...goes." she held her chin in her hand, watching the scientist sleep. "He WOULD make a beautiful woman..."
It was suddenly apparent that like Aled, gender was no issue for the woman.
In fact, she looked even more pleased by this little revelation.
"I think that Watari-kun is the most beautiful Tarnbjin I've ever seen." she decided after a while, "And beyond just superficial looks and gender. He has a beautiful soul... Gentle. He deserves all the respect he's earned for himself... I don't understand how he hasn't gotten married yet." she glanced to Hapushi. "Your brother is quite the mystery... A scientist's weakness." she chuckled. "We always try to solve everything..."

Yuki scoffed. "The ingrates don't deserve the grace of his attention." she shook her head, clearly pissed. "If anyone insulted him, or her, depending, I'd knock them out. No one talks about my women... or men... that way. It's one of the few things I can speak up about... I...I truthfully am very shy." she whispered. "I don't know how I'd even approach Watari-san about this..."
She glanced back to the scientist, biting her lip. "Everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are, don't they?" she sighed sadly, shaking her head again. "He's probably very sympathetic to feminine problems."


Kazuhiko thought on this. "I could feel Okaasan call the Goddess here already." he answered quietly. "But I haven't felt her or the Goddess since. We might be too late... I think she's hurt at the very least."

Morrigan wasn't hurt, but she glared proudly at Konton. "They're going to kill you." she whispered, pulling his attention from the palace once Aoikage left. "Let me fight you myself! Let me use my powers, and face me yourself! We can end this without anyone else getting involved... If I fail, I'll convince Kazuhiko to give up his powers."
It was a long shot, but she had to try.
She knew deep down he'd say no, but she couldn't let her spirit be crushed.
That was exactly what he wanted.
