Welcome to Gaia! ::

Morrigan smirked. "That isn't even the half of it." she promised. "You're going to regret this..."
She was all fire, even if she was utterly helpless at this point; she was prouder than the first days she'd been captured.
The Celts had a spirit unlike any other. She wouldn't let anyone extinguish her inner flame, come hell... well, come high water, really. Hell had already came, apparently.
"He's going to slaughter you." she added. "He's going to bring Aoikage back as well."

Yuki giggled. "I think I'll start turning red first. I wonder if I really will bring it up before him, or if he'll beat me to it?"
She smiled softly, closing her eyes for a moment. "I wonder how I'd tell him?"

Kazuhiko nodded. "Vejita-san and Trunks-san too." he whispered. "We can't spare anyone for this Otousan. It's going to be rough...."

Morrigan sighed softly. "You can be strong without Konton." she looked at the daemon. "The only reason you're around is because you're better off to him an ally than an enemy."

Yuki shook her head. "Nothing you need to worry about." she rose to her feet, moving to his side immediately. "Daijoubu ka, Watari-san??"
She was checking his bandages, replacing them with a few new patches. "Gomen nasai.. I hope that doesn't sting too much..."

Kazuhiko nodded, opening a portal to Earth. "We'll go get them first then, ok?"

Morrigan shook her head. "Kazuhiko wouldn't---won't---let you." she urged him. "Help us Aoikage-kun..." she pleaded quietly, eyes meeting with his. "Please... Kazu-kun's your family..! We're blood! We can beat him, I KNOW we can Aoikage..."
It was falling on deaf ears, but the seeds had been planted.
It was up to Kazuhiko now.

Kazuhiko wondered that himself. "Sorry for what?" he asked Po-ar, appearing in Capsule Corps.
He started to feel out where Ashuri and Trunks were, thinking deeply.

Yuki smiled softly. "Youkatta..." she ruffled his hair a bit. "I like this job too much to lose it after hardly a week."
She'd keep him in good spirits. "I still don't want any strenuous activity from you for a few weeks, Watari-k---san, and nothing but easily digested foods.. But if you want to work on anything, perhaps we can arrange a wheelchair or something for temporary movement. Being bedridden won't do you any good... But you can't push yourself. I mean it."

"Of course I'm not, but Kazuhiko is. Po-ar is." the priestess argued, at least until the little Shinigami conversation...
Morrigan went pale. "W....what's that...?" she whispered, eyes locked on the tiny bottle. "You're not going to be able to get a scratch on him..."
She was becoming angry, her power starting to radiate.
For a moment, the black ooze on her skin sizzled away, although it wasn't exactly painless.
She closed her eyes, starting to draw in all the holy energy she could.
To hell with both of them. She wasn't going to let ANYONE hurt Kazuhiko most of all...

Yuki was about to speak when the little owl hopped out from behind her hair and onto her shoulder. She'd been nestled in there for a while earlier while Watari rested.
She actually grinned at this. "Koko wa." she held up her finger, allowing her to hop to her hand. She transferred the little creature to his shoulder, before finding the wheelchair and forcing him to sit down.
"Not until I'm ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE you're alright." she scolded. "You wouldn't let Aled-sama or Ouji-sama or Shi-chan for that matter move unless you were absolutely sure. How many checkups did Shiori get alone? Aled-sama? I thought as much."
She started wheeling him around, smirking a bit. "Think of me as a personal nurse for the time being." she suggested. "A chauffeur of sorts."

Kazuhiko shook his head. "The past is the past Otousan." he answered gently. "Let's go get Auntie Eara and Oniisan too. He said they'd help.... We'll take care of him the second time around, ok?"

"Well, let's see..." Kazuhiko paused for a moment. "Fir's getting healed----sorta...Auntie Eara's with him. Mom's in Tarnbsei's demonic realm. My real self is with my Da on Earth---Capsule Corps---we're gathering a rescue mission for Okaasan. Aoikage, my ancestor, was taken hostage and changed to my enemy. Da almost esploded but we got the icky stuff out of his blood before it was too late... Umm... I'm not sure if there's anything else. I gotta find the new Fiannan. And meet the Leshee. I'm gonna be the new Hunter???" he glanced to Bright Eyes, silently asking if he had forgotten anything.
He THOUGHT that was about everything in a nutshell...

Eara nodded. "Alright. Fir, you ready to cooperate?" she asked quietly, ruffling his hair. "Let's make this as quick and painless as possible, kay?"

"Fir." Eara spoke firmly, tightening her hold around him. This had to have been the longest hug she ever gave anyone. "Listen, you're lucky I'm being patient with you right now. This is really too close for comfort. Now unless you don't want to be rewarded for good behavior, I'm going to hold onto you until you decide you can settle down. You cause problems, you're gonna be in big, big trouble."
It wasn't a promise from her.
She smiled, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Calm down Rat King. You're lucky, you know, I'm never this close to anyone. You might need a bath."
She said the last part in a whisper. "You're sorta filthy."
Another a** pinch, and she'd have him under control.
Granted, she didn't intend anything... but... Fir didn't need to know that until they were leaving.

Kazuhiko shook his head. "Sam can stay in MY portal." he offered. "It's safe from anyone bad. Pleeeeeeeeease?? I promise I'll keep him safe, prooooomise."
He yanked on the man's hand, frowning. "He needs to play somewhere new! Pleaaaaaaaase??"

"You can come too." Kazuhiko suggested. "My Da has a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE libary that you would LOVE!" he beamed. "You're more than welcome to. I bet Otousan would like to meet you, and Okaasan too if we can save her..."

Eara flushed brightly, but it was only for a moment. "Don't worry about that, the bribe is good. Promise."
But there was mischief about her, there almost always was.
She'd get him a candy bar or something.
She could imagine the look on his face, it would be priceless.
But the new village was beautiful; she looked around in awe, even as they slowly came to a stop. "Wow..." she whispered, feeling like a child again. "You know how long it's been since I've seen a city like this??"

"Pleeeeeeeeease???" Kazuhiko sighed deeply. "Pretty please?? If Thorn's not coming... C'mon, we NEED her to come along, or how am I gonna find the new Fiannan??"
He was getting frustrated now.

Eara smiled warmly. "It's beautiful. Thank you for being such a gracious host."
She pinched Fir a few more times, not only on the rear however.
A few of them were harshly reminding, the other suggestive.
She was lucky he wasn't the intuitive, empathetic one instead of she, Kazuhiko and Bright Eyes. Made things easier to say the least.
"Be good." she whispered in his ear. "That's the last time she's gonna warn you. Get healed first. Be smart."
She nuzzled his neck before slowly letting him go, slapping his rear so hard he actually fell to his knees.
She smirked, moving to sit down so she could watch him, deeply amused. "Forgive me Nemetona for my comrade's lack of manners, I'm sure he hasn't forgotten them. Considering that you're the only one that can save his life, it would be a tragic shame if he didn't survive to appreciate the better things in life. I wonder what all his rats would do? At least if he lives, he can continue to learn life's lessons." she held her chin in one hand, elbow on her knee. She watched him without blinking, a calm smirk on her face. "It would be such a travesty to be crippled by such a wound. I imagine he wouldn't be able to enjoy life to the extent he used to."
It he didn't behave long enough for the healing, her next option was the possibility of knocking him out. "A bribe's a bribe. Be good, or you're not getting anything."
She wasn't kidding either. "Sunshine and lollipops, kiddo. Fake it til you make it or don't say anything until spoken to."

You know, she was probably going to be in some heavy s**t for talking to the grand leader the way she was.
Girl had some cahones.
She had a feeling Fir wasn't going to hesitate reminding her of who was in charge once this was over and done with.
