*He feels terrible for making her only further sad, but he now knows the connection between the two and is satisfied with her answer. Furthermore, he is relieved that Mitsuki had finally fallen asleep, and continues to rock her as she sleeps. In order to preserve said sleep, he continues to converse telepathically.* (...So we're almost there, I take it?)

(I'm still in Azelf form so it hurts even more) GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!STOOOOOOOOOP!*Starts bleeding a little*

[Pug's been waiting patiently, can one of us find room in our plots for him at the café?]

Nene glances back at you, her eyes devoid of any emotion. 'Yes. We'll be reaching the front gates soon...' The car gradually is slowing down, and you round a bend and see the ''gate'' but it looks more like a giant mountain than an entrance. Nene parks the car, and gets out of the car, leaving it idling. She goes and punches a password into a small electronic pad. The gates dissengage, and open …

Nene gets back in the car and drives through. Your eyes widen It's like youve entered a completely different world. Apple orchards grow on both sides of the driveway, full of fruit, and the road is made with expensive stones Then you see The House. 'That's the house!? Looks like more of a castle or huge manor to me!' Nene glances back at you with a small, sad smile. 'Master always loved surprises

[[sorry Pug-kun ((mind if i call you that??))... i can't find a way just yet... but i'm thinking, i promise... *bites lower lip in thought* ]]

*Bleeding way more now.* OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

*We arrive at the house, and he exits the car, cradling Mitsuki using his shirt as a blanket. He looks upwards in awe at the house; being a child of the city, he had never seen such a classical thing surrounded by nature.* "...It's nice."

*Fainted yet sleep talking*She...Has...Shadow...Personalities...

Nene nods silently, and walks up the marble steps, and up to the door. A slot you hadn't even seen before opens in the door. ''What's the password.'' A croaky voice says. Nene stiffens. 'Tobi, how many times do i have to tell you that i don't NEED to know the password to get in?' Her thought-voice is exageratingly patient, as if she's had this conversation A LOT. ''What's the password, Nene?'' …

*Wakes up*What...Happened...?

Her tone becomes stern. 'Tobi, open this door now, our guests are completely exhauste-' ''WHAT'S THE PASSWORD!?'' Screams the small pokemon, beginning to become angry. Nene sighs, but mentally her voice is amused. ″Bumble-gum sticks to my face every friday night and i cry. pop!″ The door swings open and a young croagunk peeks out ''Hi.'' He hides behind Nene.

(...THAT'S the password?) *He walks forwards into the mansion, trying his best to stifle a chuckle. He felt Mitsuki slipping, so he corrected her position with a nudge and continued inside.* "...So I'm guessing this place is run by Pokémon?"

*Sees shadows in her soul*Thinks:The only way to save her is to possess her.*Possesses her*(Somehow,I sound exactly like Ichigo.So I sound like him in this.)

'Yes it is.' Nene enters after you, Tobi trailing behind, shyly. The hall was richly decorated, a chandelier hanging down from the vast cieing, murals and portraits decorate the walls. Various servant scurry about on different chores. Nene gestures towards a staircase. 'The guest wings are located there. Pick any one you want.' She pauses, then smiles. 'i've been informed that dinner will be…

…ready in 15 minutes. I will send someone to lead you to the dining hall. Until then, please rest and enjoy yourselves.' She turns away and waltzes off down a different halway, Tobi, glances at you then follows her.

(Where is Otaku USA?I can't continue my sub plot without her.I really wish everyone could do miiverse 24/7 with no time restrictions.*Sighs*Well,bye until Otaku gets back.)

*He walks down into hall were the guest bedrooms are located, then picks the one closest too him, Mitsuki still cradled in his arms. Gently, he seats her into a wooden rocking chair, then peels the blankets of the room's bed. Carefully, he picks her up again, then gently slides her under the blankets, still wrapped in his shirt. Then, he pulls the blankets over her, kisses her on the forehead, …

… Then whispers:* "Told you you were safe." *Smiling, he quietly gets up and leaves the room, taking a moment to admire her sleeping peacefully before closing her door.*

The hallway is so long you have to squint to make out the wall at the end [and even then just barely] Doors line both sides, each inlaid with exquisitely patterned jewels and carved patterns. Each was completely different but all of them complimented each other. You were beginning to understand why i had refused to stay here. Everything was so… breathtaking that it made you stare, feeling stunned.

*For a moment, he wonders how they could've afforded to have created such a place, but dismisses it in favour of accepting the fact that he now lives in it and no longer has to put up with things as stupid as school or swat teams trying to violently end their lives.* *He walks out into the main hall, admiring the exquisite decor all the way, until he reunites himself with Nene and Tobi once more*…

"…So," *He says casually, hands in his pockets* "Are there any more of you guys in here? If so, mind if I meet them?" *Half nervously, and half to appear more cool, he scratches the back of his head and surveys his grandiose surroundings while saying so.*

(WHERE THE H IS OTAKU?!)

[[sorry, was needed, but i'm back now~!]] *Nene smiles* 'well, as you can see,' *she gestured to the other servants scurrying about busily.* 'there are more pokemon here. Few are gifted with the telepathy ability, and no others actually TALK. That's just Tobi... no one knows why or how he learned, but he has.' *She smiles down at him fondly, and he hides behind her again, embarrassed.*

*He chuckles to himself when he sees their exchange.* (Heheh. I'm shipping them…) *He then looks around, admiring the hard work of the Pokémon around him. He considers how much of a contrast this peace is in comparison to the repeated hell that occured only a few hours ago... Then sighs of relief.* "...So how did you learn how to drive?" *He returns a cool gaze, collecting his persona once more.*

*A small skitty scampers by, wildly ringing a silver bell attatched to her tail, and everyone pauses, and begins making their ways down another hallway, chatting [in their own languages] excitably with each other.* *Nene smiles* 'Perhaps we should save that story for another time.' *She turns and begins to go down that hall as well, Tobi following closely in her wake.* 'It's dinner~time now.'

*Casually he begins to follow them, relying on the of Pokémon as a guide towards the dining hall. He only just realized how hungry he was not having eaten in two days now, since amongst all of the commotion it was difficult to remain aware of such things. Suddenly, he realized...* "Hey, should I go wake up Mitsuki? She must be hungry, too..."

*The small skitty is following behind you ringing her bell happily, more relaxed than her crazed performance before.* *Now she stops and looks up at you inquisitively.* "Skit~ty??" *She cocks her head up at you like she's listening something Then she walks backwards then turns in the direction of the dorms. She takes a step, then looks back to see if you're following, ringing the bell invitingly.*

(Uh... okay...) *Suspicious, but more so intrigued, he allows himself to follow the Skitty to wherever it is that it is taking him.* (This is a peaceful place,) *He reasons,* (Sigu raised Mitsuki here. There's no reason for me to be suspicious, right?)

[[actually, Mitsuki NEVER lived here... it was always too flashy for her.Instead she lived in an apartment, but whatever :) ]] The skitty prances in the direction of the guestrooms, every so often she glances back to see if you're following. Finally she stops in front of a door, and you realize it's MY room's door. it's inlaid with delcate rubies that are made to resemble roses and butterflies.

(Can I join?)

(Uh-... Huh. This is Mitsuki's room...) *He looks down at the Skitty, examining her jingling bell due to its distractive nature, and wondering if it knew what he was saying before.) "...So you're saying that... I should wake up Mistuki?"

[Dunno, ask Myobu!]

(Matt,yeah this if you see it.I keep posting on everything and nothing happens.)

(Random fact,but I am so bored,I have started flicking off my cats and dogs.)

*She cocks her head, the same look she gave you earlier.* *Then she paws the door lightly. ''Skitty skitty!'' She hops up and down happily, her bell jingling cheerfully.* *A small part of you wonders why you can interpret a bell for emotions, but you have other things to do than think it over right now.*

(Myobu,can I join?)

{{@ Austin. i'm fine with you joining. ^^ Just... try to make your ''entrance'' sensible, plz ;) No random interuptions, 'kay~? [Also, sorry about earlier when i asked you to wait... that scene was longer and more complicated than i first expected...] }} (Hope you're not angry...)

"...Alright, then..." *He opens the door slowly, partly suspicious due to the Skitty's odd actions, but setting his suspicions aside due to the fact that the area was familiar.*

(No I'm not angry.And thank you!)*Shows up at gate*I wonder who's house this is....

(I know,right?WHAT IF WERE PSYCIC!What am I thinking of?)Hello?Anyone here?

The bed is empty, though the sheets are pulled back, not neat and tidy like they were before. There's a rustling sound from off to your left. Upon further examination, you realize it's coming from the walk-in closet. Skitty, goes over to the bed, hopping up she sniffs the covers, then starts to chase her tail, the bell ringing softly

@Austin & Leo: The wall's sentry looks at you warily from his post. ''State your business.'' He seems bored.

*He walks carefully over to just outside of the closet, examining the intricate details of the partially-opened door.* "Hey, supper's ready." *He hears no response.* "…Hey, are you in there…?" *When he hears no response, he opens the door, assuming the thick wood was absorbing the sound. At first, he continues to examine the door's details…* "Hey, I said supper's rea--" *Then he changes his gaze.*

(Jumps over gate and alarm sounds)

*Dissapears into shadows*

I whirl around. I'm wearing a long pink ballgown, and my face becomes red all the way to my ears. [It's cream-pink with white lace overlayed at certain points. I'm also wearing dangling earings made of red jewels, that easily compliment the dress. -Just thought i'd describe it a bit more ;) ] ''I-l was just trying it on.'' i stammer, fidgetting nervously under your gaze. staring at the floor, shy

@Austin/Leo The sentry watches him go, and sighs. I was gonna let you in anyway... he mutters grumpily. He turns back to [leo's character- sorry... forgot name] and looks him over again. ''All clear~!'' He calls, and the gates open.

*He backs away, blushing profusely, and comically flips his facemask down to hide his embarrassment. His words are quick and anxious.* "...It's fine." *He backs up again and attempts to close the door behind him, but it humorously hits him on the back of his head and catches on his belt. He then fusses with it, attempting to break free, and then closes the door successfully after several seconds.*

*He shouts from behind the door,* "...See you at supper!"

A few minutes later I peek out slowly, wondering if you're still there. I'd decided to wear something simpler. I'd found some tan shorts, and a cute light-blue top with a white jacket to fit over the top. I'd also exchanged the red earings for some smaller ones that were shaped like white feathers. I emerge cautiously, and find the room is empty. I realize that i don't know the way, & feel lost.

*Suddenly, she hears the ringing of a bell outside of her room door. Arc is leaning on a wall with the Skitty around him, apparently waiting for her to finish* "You, ah... you done changing? …I knew you wouldn't know the way, like me, so… I stayed here with this Skitty. …I hope you're not mad or anything."

*Now without any adrenaline from shock, and now getting a clear look on him, she realises that he himself had taken a few wounds from the fight. Or perhaps from before...? With his shirt being used as a blanket before, his torso was merely covered with gauze bandages, large staples, and old scars. He had obviously had conflicts and saw his own battles before this saga started.*

I blush and slowly open the door. I bite my lip, but [thankfully] my cheeks only slightly color. I attempt a smile, but it comes out shy and tiny. 'It's…okay, i guess.'I say softly [[it's not like she was unclothed {{May all perverted minds burn with hell-fire and damnation~! *glares*}}]] There's a pause. Then: ''Guess i looked pretty silly, huh...?'' i say trying to make small talk, but failing

[Yeesh, that's not what I meant! I knew that, she was still changing into something after, though! ._.'" Please don't judge, I'm not like that!] *He blushes slightly, then rubs the back of his head and looks off in embarrassment* "…Sorta. It still was… kind of nice, though." *He stops leaning against the wall, and turns to Mitsuki with a small smile on his face* "…So… should we head to supper?"

[[NO. I wasn't saying it to you... sorry i made it sound that way... i was just... venting, i guess. Sorry '~' l didn't mean to imply anything]] I nod and follow you, walking a little closer than i had before. The skitty leads us out of the hallway, across the recieving hall, and down the other hallway before turning off into a ginormous room with a large table spanning almost the entire room.

[Sorry... the *glares* part was what got me assuming... Guess that "no assuming" rule goes both ways, huh? ^_^'"] *He examines the massive room, slightly intimidated, and decides to leave the decision-making to Mitsuki. However, she appeared just as overwhelmed, so instead he left it to... the Skitty? He looked down at it, blushing slightly due to the awkwardness of legitimately asking a cat for …

… It's opinion and anticipating an answer.* "So... where she would sit, little guy? ...Girl? ...Sorry, I'm not checking, so I'm just going to assume you're a guy..."

[[Well... i'm really sorry, and hope you'll forgive me... I'm sorry for implying in the 1st place & causing this AWKWARD conversation]] The skitty, sits down firmly and stares at you wide eyed. Its tail perfectly straight, no bell ringing. I take a step back behind you, still surveying the table. There were so many pokemon that it seemed like the table itself was breathing. And i was nervous.

[Hey, it's fine! No harm was done, right? There's no need to apologize for something that didn't hurt anyone! ^_-] *He notices her nervousness, and gently grabs her hand.* "Hey!" *He says softly, then smiles reassuringly at her.* "No need to be worried, I'm here too! …And besides…" *He turns around and surveys the table, moving over it with his free hand* "…These cute little guys are our friends!"

I allow myself to be pulled along, though my cheeks do gain more color. We sit towards the end, close to Nene and Tobi. Meanwhile, the skitty remains, immobile, watching as you walk away. She continues staring after you, angrily, and growling softly. Nene notices. She smiles gently and mentally nudges you. 'You made her mad... it'd be best to apologize quickly...' she winks, and nods at Skitty.

*Flustered at this, he quickly turns towards the Skitty, rubbing the back of his kneck nervously.* (Angry? …At what? …Maybe it was because I didn't know its gender…?) "Erm, ah... I'm sorry, Skitty, for... not knowing... your... gender?" *His smile is nervous, but he attempts to make it more clear that he is sincere in his apology.* "…I'm sorry! Really!"

[[Well, Fare thee well, Matt... i'm winding down... i might reply 1 or 2 more times... but i am going 2 sleep. ^^ l suggest you do the same. Pleasant dreams. Also, i probably won't be on much tomorrow... maybe later in the day or early... idk :) Thanks again~!]]

*The skitty slowly looks up at you, considering. Then she relaxes, and stands, rubbing herself against your legs, purring, her bell chiming merriily.*

[Hey, thank YOU! You're the one who keeps coming up with all of these great ideas! G'night, and pleasant dreams! I eagerly await your notifications! ^_^] *He smiles at the Skitty, content at his... her... its forgiveness, and then turns to face the rest of the table, quickly locking eyes with Mitsuki.* "So," *he asks enthusiastically,* "What's for dinner?"

My lips are pressed into a hard thin line. Then my cheek twitches and my control breaks. Laughter like the clear sound a wind chime makes spills forth, and the room suddenly falls silent, everyone staring at me curiously. I laugh so hard my eyes are watering, my arms wrapped around my torso, by the time i'm done. ''Your face,'' i gasp out ''so...FUNNY!'' I collapse into another fit of giggles.

"U-um…?" *He looks at her confusedly, puzzled by what exactly she meant. Was it a compliment…? Did he do something…? Whatever he did, though, it must've been good since she's laughing…* "A-ah… th-thank you…?" *He reasons with himself that her laughing was a good thing regardless, and so he laughs nervously as well. Eventually, the awkward laughter of both of them fills the dining hall fully.*

Finally i collect myself ''S-sorry' my face is aflame with color 'i got... carried away.'' i wipe at my eyes, taking slow deep breaths. The table chatter resumes quickly, and everyones mood seems to be cheery still. I silently eat my food but i don't have much of an appetite. I can't look at you, no matter how hard i try to force myself.My hands are clenched together. I stare down at them [GNight]

(Where's Otaku?)

(Gah!L-let's get back to the RP.)*In her soul*Woah.She has way too many shadow personalities.

*Starts slicing up the Shadow Personalities but starts to freeze.*Not this one...

*In Ayaka's soul destroying shadow personalities.*Why would she have so many....

*Get's annoyed by how many there are*That's it.GETSUGA.TENSHO!

*He is worried by her absented actions, showing it in his facial expressions. He had deemed it nothing to worry about at it first, retaining his calm and collected persona, but over time his worry became more apparent on his face.* "H-hey, are you alright...?" *Deeming it had something to do with her laugh, he quickly sought to resolve the issue.* "…Y-You have a beautiful laugh, you know…"

I continue to stare at my hands. Many of the dinner party have left, and soon we're the only ones sitting there. Even Nene leavs with an apologetic look, caring a sleeping Tobi out of the room. Finally i work up my courage. ''i can't do it...'' my eyes fill with tears. ''i mean... Sigu... he's gone... How can i laugh and have fun… when he…'' i swallow, still staring at my hands, clenching tighter.

*He looks at her, first solemnly, understanding her pain, but then ambitiously, deeming that she needed strength. Despite this, his words are still soft and kind, careful not to appear as if scolding her.* "…Hey, listen. Sigu… He gave himself up *because* he wanted you to laugh and have fun. You hadn't done it in such a long time… he would be smiling along with you, if you could see him here with…

… you now. He wouldn't want you to mourn him; he would want you to thank him, and be happy being at the place that he fought for you to be in for so long…" *His face is now a gentle smile, wiping a single tear from her face.* "…So please… Don't dishonor him by making his death bring you only more grief. Honor him by accepting his gift, and living happily here in tranquility like he wanted you to."

I slowly shake my head, and more tears come ''l told you... l can't...'' my voice breaks, and i shudder. ''WHY!? Everyone... i care about...'' i start to sob ''gets hurt... and dies... for my sake...'' i cover my face with my hands ''i hate it... if this is how it feels... to lose someone important... then i don't ever want to love anyone again!'' I curl up, bringing my knees to my chest, weeping.

*He gets up, and walks over to hug her, worry in his eyes. Gently, he rubs her backs to comfort her, speaking softly once more.* "...Then you'll never be happy, will you?" *He kisses her on the head for further comfort.* "...I doesn't matter how many times you ask me to leave... I'll always be here whenever you're sad."

I shake my head, still hiding my face. ''I don't want to... to lose anyone else... please... if you stay with me... you'll only be hurt...'' My voice trails off ''i can't do anything... but watch those i care about... leave me... It's like... I'M the one hurting them... Mom... Sigu... they hate me... that's why they're leaving me alone...'' I suddenly grab your hand, stopping you from helping me …

''Stop it! I can't stand it anymore...'' my eyes connect with yours, and take on a pleading look. ''Go away... if you stay with me... i'll end up hurting you too...'' I push you away, and scream ''I'M A MONSTER~!'' Then i dash from the room, not really paying attention to where i'm going.

*He calls out her, hand outstretched.* "H-hey! Wait!" *He chases after her, worried about where she might run off to; Sigu had given up his life so that they'd finally find peace, and he didn't want his efforts to go in vain. He had to stop her.* "Please, come back!" *He thought of using a passive Pursuit to chase after her, but the halls were too narrow, so he settled on simply running faster.*

i run for my life, swiftly darting around random corners, trying to lose you. ''leave me alone!'' i scream, panicking. I don't recognize any of the doors i'm passing, but i suddenly bolt inside a random door, closing it swiftly. i hold my breath. The room i'm in is almost pitch black, but i don't dare turn on the lights, for fear of you finding me.

*He stops dead in his tracks, astounded and almost impressed that the hallway she just turned down was empty with little trace of her presence.* (…I heard a slam… That must mean she's behind one of these doors…) *He reasons,* (Which means she'll pop up eventually. I'll just leave her alone until then.) "Well… you wanted alone time. Might as well give it to you…" *He says, attempting to hide the …

… Quivering sorrow in his voice. He leans against one of the hallways' vast walls.* "I hope you can hear me, because..." *he swallows* "I'm… sorry I don't leave you alone some times… you need to be by yourself. Just, ah… just know that… my life has actually improved since I met you, I'd say…" *He then slouches, arms crossed, and inserts pocky into his mouth.* "…I'll… leave you alone now…"

l shiver, hearing your voice [literally] on the other side of the door, and curl into a ball. ''Why...'' i feel myself smile, even though my eyes are leaking. ''do you care so much... about someone... like me...?'' my voice, shakes.
