||Q & A with Kaneshiro||
Q: How old are you?
A: ... Are you trying to judge me by my age?! I'm 21, if you have to know, and I will always be 21. Ever heard of Forever 21? Damn b*****d stole that phrase from me...
Q: I see you are a Demon - would you like to explain how you came to Gaia?
A: No. Next question.
Q: Tell me about your work.
A: Fashion design. That's all there is to it. But at least I'm not shallow enough to name my chain after myself. Hmph.
Q: Can you use magic?
A: Can you see with your eyes? Can you THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN? Yes, well then, DUH.
Q: Tell me, how do you see yourself?
A: Smoking hot stuff.
Q: Favorite past time?
A: Having a good time... if you know what I mean...
Q: How did you meet Hika-chan and Ryuu-san?
A: Long story. Ask Ryuu - I'm sure he'd be delighted to tell you. He loves attention, that sob.
Q: Any vices?
A: Oh ho ho. No, NONE whatsoever. I'm all pure and pristine like that goddamn Gabriel... no. Ha. What kind of question is this? I'm an effing demon.
Q: Have you ever been in a relationship?
A: Currently single, if that's what you wanted to know. ; )
Q: Boxers or briefs?
A: I'm too sexy for underwear :0 Or any clothes, really.[jk]
Q: What did you think when you were given a piece of pocky to take care of?
A: >D Er, I mean, it's ahm, a quite delightful magical phenomenon! Must watch it grow myself.
||More about Kaneshiro and Cascada Co.||
Cascada Co. is a fashion line that Kaneshiro opened about 4 years ago. It quickly gained international claim as through his connections, he designed several dresses for actresses appearing on red carpets around the globe. While he has mass-produced certain items upon request, Kaneshiro earns most of his profit through custom-order.
He has hired only one assistant, Failyn, in all of these four years. Fai seems to know the demon quite well, rarely addressing Kaneshiro formally and often acting more like a friend than an employee. Some suspect that she may be a demon who has followed Kaneshiro to Gaia from the beyond. It's clear, however, that the feelings these two have for each other are platonic at best. While Kaneshiro rarely invites anyone to join him in the designing process, many pieces produced by Cascada are works of both of their hands. She has also directed a lot of the work that goes on for the mass-produced items, as well as handling the finances and communications between the company and its clients.
|| Q & A with Fai ||
Q:Why does-
A: Sorry, I don't have time to answer questions. K thx bai.

Dec. 25, 2008
______ Today is Christmas.
______ There were presents under the tree in the office. I cannot but to feel a little pretentious - a Demon celebrating Christmas? It is supposed to be a scared holiday, and disregarding what feelings I may have for the big boss and his feathered lackeys, it feels wrong. This feels wrong. Presents, pah. I wonder what the folks at home would say if they could see me now, though I suppose I wouldn't really care anyways - after all, that's why I'm here isn't it? In Gaia, to escape their cynical stares to pursue knowledge, wisdom, and a little peace? There's a price to pay for everything... having to join in with the humans in celebration of God and all things good isn't too hefty of a sum, even if I'm not part of that "all things good" theme. Oh, I am so very bad. Such a bad boy. The restless within me these days is indescribable.
______ I'm in Gaia also to pursue freedom and love, though to prevent myself from sounding too much like a Bohemian poet, what I want is the raw stuff. Ryuu and Hika-chan are lucky to have each other. Shackled and limited in a way, but in an almost... glorious way.
______ The holidays have sobered me. Fai kept asking me what was wrong yesterday... like a mother hen. I swear, even my own mother was never as bad as she is. I'm sure, however, that before long this "holiday spirit" will fade and I will be able to return to my old, dashing self. Maybe that's why I haven't been able to get some lately, because I've lost my bad boy edge all thanks to this "joy of the season" fluffiness floating about. There is very little magic at work, just as usual, but I remain sensitive to the mood and atmosphere and no matter where I step these days, there is a general aura of good feeling and warmth that even I cannot help but to soften up a bit on the inside. Greed, Lust, Pride, Anger... no Sin, perhaps save Gluttony, has a place around here on Christmas.
______ Talking about the spirit of the holidays, I have even received a present from Ryuu and Hika-chan. One of their unusual creations - a magical pocky. I could write at length about the magical properties of the strange baked good, though simply put, various magical elements allow these sweet little sticks to turn into young children - boys - after a length of time. As to how long, I have never asked Ryuu and I'm not sure if I want to. It will be nice surprise to discover a youth wondering through the halls, seeking answers to some desperate questions. The pocky itself is an exquisite piece of art, wrought with beautiful laces of mint cream. It gives off the most delightful scent, and even now, lightens my spirit as it sits by the window filling this room with its aroma. I am certain that when it does turn into a youth, the boy will have the most beautiful face. I cannot fathom what his features will be like, but I am sure that they will bear resemblance to... those of an angel, as humans would say. And I will grudgingly admit here that angels do tend to have rather flawless features... though I would rather point that out as a result of their vanity than a sign of holiness. The only loss in his true birth will be the absence of this most uplifting aroma - though gaining another companion for Fai and I will be more than a fair exchange. Our empty hearth could use another more permanent presence - with our ever flowing stream of visitors from my world, and her world, the house is beginning to feel more like an inn than a home. We ought to start charging fees for food and stay.
______ Maybe it's time to start thinking about a name. I need to remember to ask Fai about this, as it was addressed as a gift to me and Fai-chan. Though honestly, I somehow feel as if this was an effort by Ryuu to keep me as the tailor for the pocky children. In return though, this offers me a business opportunity I haven't considered very much - Fai suggested this the other day - a catalog of kids' wear for the wealthy clientele when I compile the designs and do some touch-up work.
______ I must think more upon this matter. As for now... today Ryuu is hosting a party at the shop. It will be nice to go and see some of the boys again... I'm not sure if I remember them too well, or if they remember me at all. No matter, it's an opportunity to grab some Christmas kisses.
______ I will try to not stake-out at the mistletoe.

Nov. 29, 2008
______ Fai and I celebrated Thanksgiving at the office, demon style. We invited a few friends over and it was almost like the old times. I almost feel bad for the woman who had to clean up after us - let's just say that we left quite the mess. Our feast was quite scrumptious, and I am very glad that Fai had decided to expand it beyond the traditional American meal. Way beyond.
______ The last year has been fruitful, though I am writing again to inform you something of the extraordinary. It's remarkable to note that it's almost time for my least favorite holiday of the year [and may I note that I have absolutely banned Christmas carols to be played in any of my stores... dreadful tunes.] For it has been a year since I received the magical pocky from Hika-chan and Ryuu. Something spectacular has finally happened to it! I must say that for a while I did not think anything was going to happen - I did not doubt the magical properties of the pocky itself, for it remained enticingly fragrant for the duration of the year, tempting as ever as it lay cradled within its satin-lined box on my office shelf. No, I had doubted myself - I must have been doing something wrong for it to remain so... inert. Fai had advised patience, though I could sense that she too wondered if the pairing had been a mistake - her words were the only constraints that prevented me from running frantically to Ryuu like a little child. And it is a good thing that I did not run to him - what a disgrace it would have been!
______ It happened one rainy night when Fai and I had stayed behind in the office late to review the items that would appear in the next catalog. We had left my office for but a second and when we returned, I noticed something was different - the scent of the mint... for it had grown significantly stronger. I'm sure Fai had detected the significant change as well for our gaze met immediately before both of us turned to look at the box on the shelf. And indeed, it was empty! A bell chime laughter floated through the air and it was then he appeared, as a sprite, somersaulting over the desk in a flash of color and a whirlwind of fabric to land ever so gracefully before our stunned faces.
______ It was hard to keep my cool, I will admit, before such a surprising display of talent, such ... exuberance. As Fai 'ooh'-ed and clapped for the little boy with a chuckle I could only give her a dour glance - really?
______ "Our meeting has long been overdue."
______ Yes, those were the first words that came out of that little boy's mouth. He's surprisingly well developed - both physically and cerebrally - and his maturity almost sent me running. Ryuu had told me that when they were first born, pocky boys definitely were not supposed to be like little adults [like mine was behaving]. Fai was confused too - and it was then that the little boy gave us a cheeky smile and explained that he had kept back his growth on purpose - yes, on purpose - to see how long he could hide from us in order to observe our behaviors. The only reason he had changed that night was because he had finally gotten bored and that he wanted to try on the clothes. Fai had laughed then, saying "like father, like son." I did not appreciate her comment, though I did not have time to reprimand her as my eyes remained on the cheeky little b*****d. I already had a name - any hesitation I may had before vanished in the blink of an eye.
______ I would name him Kelevra. Bad dog. I considered it a perfect choice, though Fai just gave me a glare. But Kelevra took it pretty well, as he rolled the name around his tongue a few times before giving us that cheeky smile again, saying that he liked it. I wonder how much he will like the name after he finds out its meaning.
______ Having Kelevra around has been... entertaining. There is something so uplifting about him that he makes me smile a little every time I see him - indeed, his face was like that of an angel. I had been right. But there is something else in his beauty - it is more perfect than that of an angel for it held infinite purity and naiveté. He makes a good addition to the office - now any time that we needed to make measurements for kids clothing, Kel always jumped to help. With the growing number of pocky boys, the collection is expanding. Business is growing, despite the global economic crisis. It is a good year to be me.
______ I hope this cheer will last me through the holidays. What a dreadful season.

~x(o)x~ Nov. 29, 2008
______ Kaneshiro has finally stopped moping - the little pocky stick that he's been worrying about finally grew. Thank god. I don't have enough time to manage the business and keep that man's spirits up - or down? - in order to maintain at least an appearance of normalcy.
______ Not that life has been normal since the arrival of Kelevra, or Kel as Kaneshiro has taken to call the little boy. For one, Kel is a prankster and seems to contain an endless source of energy. But, he is so lovable with that darling little smile of his no one has seriously complained - luckily.
______ Two, by God is this creepy, but Kaneshiro can't seem to stop smiling. Alright, its not so much as creepy as it is just bizarre - the man who only genuinely smiled once a decade has turned into Santa Clause. Well, not quite Santa - but all of that jolliness is there and it is freaking me out. However, seeing as Kel has only proven to be a source of inspiration, I cannot protest - yet.
______ Third - I am not sure if Kaneshiro's intentions are entirely pure, having Kel strip off and dressing in some bizarre outfit every time I turn around to look. I never imagined myself to be the motherly type, but if that's what it takes to keep Kel save from Kaneshiro then damn it, I will be a mother hen and keep my eyes on both of them.
______ Damn you Kaneshiro. I don't have the time for this!
Fai______
