Haru blinked at his carer and scratched his head a little as he was spoken to “Then who's going to look after him, I killed his last carer” he sounded so innocent about the matter, but then again to him everything was so black and white “You could look after him and he can stay here with me... there is plenty of room” he smiled happily, he thought it was a good idea because he knew his carer was kind and loving, though on hearing about the testing room his eyes changed to blood red for a second as his hands clenched “We are not lab rats... stop hurting us or none of you will live to regret it!” he growled, but his eyes changed quickly back, his head lowered “Quit it” he whispered to himself

“It's okay if you want to call me light... I've been called it all my life and after all we are just experiments to you all” his words where low, and sounded somewhat dead as he spoke “And I am not sleeping... I refuse and I want to dream and not have the medicine shoved in my neck.” he looked up at her his eyes watering a little as he placed his hands on the glass “I want to be normal... we all do” his tone showed he was confused fighting within himself trying to find a balance that was now missing

Hearing Amire's words his head shot backwards “You said you wanted them to stop hurting you but your volunteering for the tests” his eyes showing panic his voice showing confusion, his once happy orderly life was now being turned upside down as he was trying to understand things he was never meant to. “Your welcome, and I don't think it was bad to save you...” he began using the wall to move over to the door next to him slowly “All life is precious... it's not your fault the way you are and the one that caused it failed, they need to give you a new carer” he smiled moving forward to give him a quick hug before moving back once more

“I hope to see you again soon... even if I have to come visit you” he smiled waving, he closed his eyes trying to hide the fear at the mention of leaving the garden to see him, but if he needed to face his fear to make sure Amire was well he'd do it. Haru watched the carer's being kinder in their method of handling Amire he wondered if he was the cause of it after he flipped 'perhaps it wasn't all bad' he thought to himself watching as his friend was taken out of the room and the door closing gently behind them

Haru looked to the woman that called him and blinked for a moment “Promises can not be broken , so if I agree will you agree to one of mine?” he would ask, his happy voice changing to one almost of an adult, his eyes glistened in the artificial sun light “besides, I do not promise things unless I know what the promise is... I learned that the hard way” he placed his hands on the glass showing the markings he had “They still hurt” he said his voice trembling, the markings on his hands and on his face had been side effects from his tests and they hurt so badly

The woman caught his hand before he coult take flight "You need to live within yourself Nobuo... staying out for long periods of time will harm you both" her hand pointed to Yuu "Now go back inside and try and behave... you will eventually have to come to the realization that you are weaker like this and will eventually have to meld with one another, to become a compleate being" her words where gentle

by now Yuu would be able to see his otherself thanks to the chant Toshi had been saying in her sleep "Hello Yuu" the woman said "I am guessing you heard everything I said" of course this was more a retorical question "Nobuo here is part of you, the hate, anguish and fear of all marked and those who where experimented on" she looked down "I am sorry we done this to you... we where still children ourselves and had no idea" she bowed low to Yuu

"You trully are the only one that can protect her from both Humans and Tengu... she knew this and thus why you where given the sword of her family" she stood and walked to him taking Nobuo with him "Nobuo here is your strength, your will your power..." she turned to Nobuo "Yuu is your kindness, compassion, your heart" she moved them beside one another "one without the other is weak, you will get yourself killed and my daughter, which I will not tolorate!" her words where stearn and demanded obedience

"I couldn't care less if you want to be seperate and just train together so you understand each others strengths and weakness's..." she paused for a second "but if anything happens to my daughter, no ability in this universe will stop me from giving you both a slow, painful and truthful death" her eyes went a deep purple as she spoke showing her more dominant Tengu side, showing this wasn't a threat but a promise

"Though from what I have seen you have began to merge, it is slow but it has started" she looked to Yuu with a smile "Thank you for standing up against Ai to protect her" her hand touched his a moment later she removed her hand "A gift, the wounds you've done or others have done to your hands are now healed" with that she vanished leaving them be once more

Sho stopped in his tracks his fist clenching slightly he wanted to hurt himself badly for being so god damn stupid, smelling the copper in the air his heat turned back to where Kyrin was, his eyes changing to blood red “Sempai” he whispered following the scent, he wasn't to sure what to think, his hand went to his mouth as he remembered the sweet taste of Kyrin's blood

“what am I thinking about... that's not right” he shook his head hurrying to where the scent was getting stronger, he stopped seeing the other boy again and bowed slightly “Vincent Kun” his voice was low as he rushed to kyrin's side taking the cigarette off him “not while your hurt like this sempai” he didn't know how fast someone like him naturally healed and he wasn't allowed into that part of the library until he was at lease his eldest brothers age

Standing he looked worried “Sempai wait... right here I'll go get Nii sama” he bowed to Kyrin and looked to Vincent “Anything happens to him and what happened to those boys will be a light punishment to what I'll do to you” he growled running off

Kazuo stopped hearing Striker's words “here is how the food chain works in a school... Principle, vice principle, teachers, student teachers, students” he then continued walking “So as you see I am within my right to tell you what to do while you are on school grounds... outside it I wouldn't careless unless it bothered me” he sighed not waiting for much else to be said he had to go check on his little brother

Seeing his brother running towards him he stopped and watched as he approached, bowing to show as Sho bowed to him, after all in their family formality had to come first “Sho kun what is the meaning of this!” he demanded, his voice harsh as he spoke, she lowered his head “Nii sama... I don't have time to explain... Please I need your help” his voice begged his older brother to argue and punish him later

Kazuo looked to his brother and sighed “Rules are put into place for protection not just for you but those around you!” he clenched his fist resisting the urge to hit him for being so stupid “Tell me why did you change, you shouldn't be able to hit that kind of energy until...” he trailed off and looked at the finger sho's ring was on

“Kyrin Sempai...” he looked down “Kyrin sempai got hurt trying to help me Nii sama, I got angry... Please can we just do this later he's badly hurt” he looked up and grabbed his brother's wrist and dragged him, Kazuo sighed allowing himself to be taken to where Kyrin should have been. Kazuo looked to Kyrin and shook his head “Perhaps you will tell me what is going on before I have to report this to my parent's and he gets punished or transferred again” he moved closer to Kyrin and just from the excess energy could tell what he was “He'll be fine in a few days” he brought something out of his top and threw it at Kyrin "One tablet daily for a week will help your natural healing speed" he say walking off hearing the announcement

Sho Looked at kyrin for a moment before moving to his knees and bowing low "Kyrin sama, please forgive me I didn't mean for you to get hurt" his words where sincere, he really didn't want to be hated by the one who gave him that special moment, he would give anything just to feel it once more

Alanie continued to stare down at the space beneath her. She was well aware that she didn't have to stay on the solid ground, she could jump down and land easily, but she didn't. She didn't want to end up causing any racket fr the Gods and Goddesses down there, where they were closest to the sea, so they have better interaction with Poseidon.

She turned and was about to take down the cloth and fold it when a familiar, annoying, relentless voice came from the door behind her. As much as she wanted to come back at him with a snide remark, she simply ignored the comment. "What do you you know. A visitor. I thought you'd be forging swords and weapons right now..." She said, knowing the subject was touchy.

Her mother had told her about it multiple times, how he wanted to forge or at least watch someone forge but he couldn't go close to the fire because He was too powerful, and would make the swords unusable. And, well, she couldn't say she pitied him much. Wasn't her thing.

"How's the forge these days anyways? My mother's sword was supposed to being fixed... Is it going well?" she asked. She couldn't help but breach the subject further, to wipe in his face that he couldn't go near the forge, and that was exactly what she said next. "Oh, I forgot, you're not allowed around the forge! I'm so sorry they think you incapable of controlling you fire.. So sad, truly." She said, almost pitying him.

Arwa and her caravan had just entered the market areas of the city of Egypt, as they drove by kids and some of the girls who wanted to be dancers began to follow them. "GYPSIES! GYPSIES!" they all said, running along with them and Arwa smiled under her light purple see through face veil and waved at the small children.

Arwa had been a dancer for most of her life, at least since she was three. She was one of the sisters who were all talented dancers, but Arwa was the first to have interest in the art. She'd saw her first dancer when she was three, and ever since she'd seen the dancers dance, it was her dream, and life goal, to become the most popular, most talented gypsy dancer in all of Egypt.

They eventually stopped at an almost empty part of the markets and set up, selling jewels, breathing fire, but Arwa and her sisters had drummers set p and had a beat going before they began to dance, a sash setting on the ground for passers by to set gold in for them, though that was barely on her mind. She was too busy making sure her moves were well preformed.

She had her hips swinging, her arms moving and her stomach muscles were moving as well, sometimes only her stomach muscles were flexing to the beat of the drums. Soon there were crowds where the empty part of the market was, people enjoying the temporary company of the gypsies, as always, they brought with them the need to celebrate the day, some older people ended up dancing with Arwa, and she sometimes paused to teach a few small girls to dance as well.

Lore looked at neutral city not too distant from the tree her and Mylan were lounging in. It was one of those cities that she's seen, been in, and than gotten out of as quickly as possible. Even though she was human, her race was far from the normal human, she was a Leran, one of the many races that was entirely dependent on the forest, the forest was her home, a place she lived in, a place where her and Mylan were always able to run through wild and free, just like Lore's spirit, she was just as wild as the tiger she was with; A white tiger, a symbol of wild freedom to her people, but not the symbol of the forest, no.

The symbol of the forest was the dragon, a spirit that no one ever had by their side unless they were chosen by the forest to be able to have the dragon by their side. But so far, no one has ever seen a single Leran with a dragon, the closest there ever was was a fire lizard, but they are a whole different thing entirely. Sure they may be race related to the dragon, but they weren't a dragon them self, and there has only been one fire lizard spirit ever to be seen in the last two hundred years.

Lore sighed, getting tired of looking at the ruined, gray, uneventful city, scooting gently out of the tree and falling soundlessly to the ground than walking towards their village, made of dried brush and already fallen twigs. They never cut on the trees, or the brush on the ground, they waited for the forest to provide them their materials by dried, dead grass, bars, mud, things like that, and they used it to make shelters.

Mylan gave a soft growl at the thought of even trying to mark a tree with their knives. "I know... It would anger the forest and we'd no longer be welcome here...." She said with a sigh. "And honestly, I couldn't think of a life without the green canopy over my head, could you?" She asked Mylan, who gave her a look that told her 'No' than they looked ahead, going to their small hut on the outside of the village and going in, sitting down on a couch they bough from a human couple and they curled up and recounted the day's boring events. After all, they had nothing better to d with their time.
