Elazu snickered from his coat cave, for he intirely agreed with Kimi, and found it funny that his mom was wrong. The clouds were crying! They had to be!
She smiled at Kimi-ryu fondly. " You are a very smart girl Kimi. I used to think the sky cried too. My mother told me it was the angels crying though, not the clouds."

Kimi looked at the woman dumbfounded. She reached over and patted Risika on the head. "Silly lady, angels don't exist," she said this with such an innocent smile that you'd have to think about what she said.
"Kimi! Be quiet and don't say things like that. It is not nice." Rei lifted her hand to her head in frustration. The light changed and she began to cross. "I'm sorry Risika. I don't know what has gotten into her lately."

Risika blinked curiously, seeing the child in an even brighter light. She smiled, waving her hand toward Rei, " Don't worry about it." She followed Rei across the street, still meaning to speak with Kimi.
" I know they don't exist. But my mother believes they do." She smiled, showing to Kimi that she wasn't mad at all.
Elazu blinked, peeking his head out from his coat cave. " Mommy what are angels?"
"They are winged beings that do God's work," she responded, trying to keep it simple.
" Oh. Is Kisten an angel?" He was worried that his brother, who had wings, and actually looked very similar to Kimi, now that he thought about it. " Wait Kimi, are you an angel? You look like Kisten, 'cept no wings" Having totaly missed the part that they don't exist.
Risika laughed, patting Elazu's head, loving how innocent he was. " Hunny, Kisten isn't an angel."

Kimi's eyes grew wide and she blushed at the question. "I-I don't think so." She reached up and touched her horn. "No, not an angel."
Rei giggled. They were so innocent, at least they seemed to be. There was something about these children. Something special; different. They spoke almost perfectly, and sometimes seemed more knowledgeable than the average human. She pushed open the door to the small cafe. "Kimi, what would you like.
The small girl thought a moment then replied. "Um, Shirley temple?"
"Sounds fine to me. She'll have a Shirley temple and I'll have a raspberry hot chocolate." Rei turned to Risika and Elazu. "What do you guys want, my treat."

Elazu blinked then nodded. " Oh ok then."
As they walked inside of the cafe Risika opened her coat, letting Elazu jump down onto the floor.
" What would you like Elazu, thats not coffee?" She smirked after seeing the face Elazu made since he wasn't able to have coffee. She still cursed her eldest son for starting him on this addiction.
Elazu huffed, pulling himself up on the counter so he would say his own order. " I want a Coke."
"Elazu..."
"Please, and thank you."
" Good boy, I'll have a coke aswell please." She smiled at Rei, thanking her for treating them.

Rei paid for the drinks and took them to an empty booth. The small cafe was dimly lit, but it felt cozy. She set kimi beside her close to the window.
Kimi looked outside at the rain falling. She began to kick her feet back and forth lightly and hum quietly. Her mother placed her drink in front of her, but she didn't acknowledge it.
"You want to hurt them...don't you?"
Kimi looked around to see where the voice came from. However, there was only her little group in the shop and the worker behind the counter.
"You can save them...they are in pain...save them from their pain..."
"Did you guys hear that?" She looked at the group, hoping they heard it too.

Elazu ran forward and jumped up onto the booth seats, scooting over so he would sit opposite Kimi. As Risika sat his drink infront of him with a straw in it he smiled his thanks, instantly using the straw to drink. ELazu took a few gulps of the drink before stopping at Kimi's question.
" Hear what Kimi?" he hadn't heard anything.
Risika shrugged, drinking her straight from the cup, her straw still on the table in its wrapper. " Maybe you hear the other people in the cafe?"

"Only you can hear me..."
"Its nothing." Kimi said to the group. Who are you?
"I'm you, i'm them...i'm the darkness in everyone."
Why are you talking to me? Leave me alone...
"You need me...I need you...This world isn't made for me..."
Good. Then go away.
"You can make this world for me...change it."
I could do that?
"with me, you can do anything..."
Rei touched Kimi's shoulder and she jumped."Sweety, are you ok?" She was worried. She had never seen kimi like this before. What was happneing to her?
"I'm ok mommy, just thinking." She grabbed her drink and began to suck on the straw. She looked at Elazu, then to Risika, back to Elazu and finally to her mother. She started humming and kicking again. Are you still here?
"Always."
And then there was silence.

Elazu watched Kimi closely, a small frown crossing his face. She did seem a little distracted to him. He looked up at him mother, a question written upon his face, maybe she could help.
Seeing Elazu looking at her out of the corner of her eye, Risika turned toward him. She smiled at his lost look, ruffling his hair. " Don't worry about it Elazu."
Elazu smiled contently and went back to his soda, sipping at it while he watched Kimi.
" So where do you guys live?" She figured finding out about their new friends would be the best thing to do. " I don't go out a lot, but I don't think I've seen you guys around before.

"South of town. You know where the forests are? well, we are in there. I own a dojo-temple-thingy, so we stay there. Its a pretty nice place." She took a sip of her hot chocolate and smiled. "What about you guys?"
"Mommy, can i have another drink and maybe some sweets?" Kimi said sweetly.
"Sure dear." Rei waved to the lady and whispered something in her ear. She nodded and walked back to the counter.

" Oh really? That area is gorgeous. A dojo? Thats so cool," she sipped her coke, smirking at Rei's question. " Well its not as glamorous as a Dojo in the forest, but Elazu and I live a few blocks from the park in the residencial area. That old victorian house? So glad I got that house, it seemed too much when I first got it, but now..."
Elazu smiled, " I painted my room!"
Laughing softly she nodded, " All black, but yes he did."
