Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Lazarus? Lazarus??" Kyou called out without removing his eyes from the research notes scattered all over the lab table. There was no answer. Frowning slightly, Kyou finally peeled his eyes off the research notes. Eventhough Lazarus might be rebellious sometimes, but lately he had been rather obedient. It's rather rare for Lazarus to ignore Kyou's calls, the least Kyou would expect is a grunt in annoyance.

Kyou got up and headed to the living room, where Lazarus usually is. "Lazarus? Are you there?? You have an appointment with....." Kyou didn't finished his sentence, because there wasn't anyone in the living room.

Mumbling curses he learnt from televisions under his breath and wondering why is he doing this, Lazarus floated towards Dr. Tsu's doors grumpily. Just yesterday Kyou mentioned something about an appointed check-up with Tsu today. At first Lazarus was rather hesitant to attend, but the fact that he never explored Tsu's office before bothers him a little. Laz knows every niche and corner in this lab, except for Tsu's office after he started working here.

Reason? He disliked Tsu. So he usually do his best to avoid him. But curiosity got the better of him this time.

Stopping in front of Tsu's door, he hesitated for a few seconds before he reached up and gave it a short rattle.

Lazarus winced as the irritable voice sounded from behind the door. He put his hand on the doorknob and was ready to turn it when a second thought crossed his mind. "You don't need to do this Laz!! It's still not too late to retreat now!" Retreat? He let out a soft chuckle at the thought. That's not something Lazarus usually do. He drew in a deep breath, Laz came so far, and he's determined to face it no matter how awful it'll turn out to be.

Putting on a long face, he turned the doorknob and floated in. "It's Lazarus here."

Well, at least he didn't commented anything irritable yet... Lazarus thought in slight relief. Maybe Tsu isn't as bad as Laz thought he should be, maybe he isn't all that sarcastic and arrogant. But he doesn't dare to make any conclusion yet before the end of the check-up.

He eyed around Tsu's office, the first thing he saw are the posters of naked people on the walls. This was the first time he came across this type of images actually, and he was strangely attracted to them. There was an odd tingle inside of him, he felt that he had a sense of familiarity with the naked bodies in the images. But his memory just doesn't recall when he had seen them before. He snapped back into reality and removed his gaze from the posters when Tsu spoke.

He held up the cards in his hands and stared in confusion. What does all these mean? Without a second thought he pulled out the fire card and placed it on the table, next he took out the card with the ocean scene and place it beside the fire card. Somehow the contrast of image appeals to him, the raging fire and the calm ocean. The next card took a little longer to choose, because most of them doesn't really appeal to him very much. Switching between the night sky and the shadowy nook, he decided he prefer the shadowy nook over the night sky. So he pulled it out and placed it beside the ocean scene, followed by the night sky card. The rest of the cards he placed after the night sky was in this order: radioactive sign, ice cube, sunlight, musical note, and the last one, a picture of a universe.

"There, I finished arranging them all." he presented the list of cards to Tsu.

"I feel uncomfortable when you're around...." Lazarus mumbled quietly under his breath. "I'm not letting you stick something in my mouth!" he said grouchily and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Anything else is fine, but I'm not putting something weird in my mouth!! Especially by you!"

He couldn't help but take a small peek at the posters on the wall again, but hastily he directed his eyes back at Tsu again, not giving him a chance to tease him.

Lazarus mumbled a string of indistinguishable complains as the thermometer was suddenly jabbed underneath his tongue. To show his anger, he immitated a scene he'd seen before in a movie - sticking his middle finger up in front of Tsu's face.

When the thermometer was removed from his mouth he coughed rudely and spitted on the floor, also another act that he had learnt from the television. Kyou should really control what information and stuff that Lazarus should watch. "Can I get out now?" Lazarus scowled at Tsu, not wanting to stay a moment longer. Appartently coming here was a mistake after all.

"I'm perfectly fine!" he said grumpily as Tsu continue on with the check-up. Although the thought is very tempting, but Lazarus is trying his best to not set the doctor on fire, it'll not only cause trouble but also grief for Kyou.

Lazarus very well knew that Tsu's fel essence and bottle of soul had been placed into the Raevan container in Kyou's lab. Maybe he could do something to Tsu's new born Raevan to get back at Tsu for making him go through this horrible ordeal. But it wouldn't be fun if the Raevan came out as a female one though, because Lazarus always tries his best to avoid females.

Strangely though he wasn't afraid of the naked female figures on the wall. Maybe it's because of the fully naked form that Laz seen for the first time? Or was it because they're only images and not actually alive and there before him? He's not very sure. Subconsciously, Lazarus's eyes drifted towards the posters on the wall again.

That tingling sensation he had before was bothering Lazarus still, and there was a blurry imagery playing in his head when he was looking at the posters. Like he's trying to recall a forgotten dream or something. Judging on this, along with the fact that it's uncomfortable around Tsu, Laz concluded that it's best for him to get out of here.

Deciding that he wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible, he removed his gaze from the posters and gave Tsu a scorn look. "This is better be the last time you stick something in my mouth." He hesitate for a moment, but in the end he reluctantly opened up his mouth for Tsu.
