Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the boys headed back for Ellena's a small boy stood in front of them once they turned. Rather, he sat in front of them, in a position much how a dog would sit. He had on a baggy white t-shirt and blue jean shorts, with no shoes or socks on. His eyes were a stunning gold that almost seemed to give off their own glow. His hair was a messy...very messy orange, with a small green sucker attatched to the side. His eyes wide he stared directly at Garet.

"Wooooooowwww..." he said in astonishment. The boy couldn't have been more than nine. Suddenly, as if without thought or upon routine, the boy lept up and behind Garet excitedly, looking him over with the greatest of excitement in his eyes.

"WOW! Did you see what you just did? You pummled those guys! It was awsome!! Like how they nabbed this guy and you were all like 'hey, that's mine!' and knocked them into the ground, then you were all like 'huzzah! i win!' and then you wanted to beat them but your brother said 'no, that's bad!' which i TOTALLY respect but that makes him look TOTALLY weak, but what do I know I never fight! Well I used to pick fights with those three but I'd never win cuz I'm so small and nice but they didn't really touch me cuz they said 'you're really weird' the pig brained bullies...but my mom always told me not to fight cus it was mostly useless, but that doesn't come in handy when you don't have a choice or if it looks like fun but I don't like to fight cuz I usually get my butt kicked...but afterwards I get a lot of ice cream! Really really tasty ice cream ^.^!" The boy talked about a mile a second, perhaps consuming a bit too much caffien that morning. As he spoke he made gestures in the recaping incident, pointing to Garet and Isaac when mentioned, as well as the three bullies. As soon as he was done fidgeting like a mad man the boy finally stopped and stood in front of Garet. He couldn't have been much more than 4 and a half feet tall, not to mention having the muscle tone of a twig.

The kid's smile formed into an 'who, me?' expression. "Me? WELL, I wanted to go swimming! Of course, I had to get all soaked in the rain first...I hate getting soaked before I go swimming it doesn't feel natural for some reason...like syrupless pancakes!! It just SHOULDN'T be nope." the boy closed his eyes and shook his head. Soon, a thought came into his head and his eyes popped open. One could almost see the lightbulb flash above his head. "HEY!! You people got a place to stay? I do but it's small but my mom's an EXCELLENT cook!! I dowanna walk home all by myself those bullies could come around again and then I'll miss out on ravioli...by the way, I'm Minku!" he said, giving a proud smile and outstretched his hand to Garet. "Say, why are you so red? Did you eat some bad peppers >.o?"

Minku smiled and ran off a few steps before turning around and waited for the others to join him. "Nice to meet you two! I bet Jeff'll like meeting you too, she's a lonely kid sometimes, but she's also waaaaaaaayyyyyyy weird >.o;;;" Minku said, putting his hands behind his head as he lead the way. He sloshed in each puddle he could find all to get himself more wet than he already was, which was pretty soaked.

The boy lead them about two miles, yapping all the while about himself and his friend, Jeff. He went back and restated how cool he thought Garet was, and he also told Isaac he was red as well. "You sure you two aren't catching colds or sunburnt or somthing? We have plenty of OJ, but I find skittles are best to reduce fevers!! My mom doesn't believe me but she also doesn't believe me when I say Jeff is a girl. She thinks Jeff is a boy's name but that's silly cus Minku's a girls' name I think and I'm a boy, right?" Minku stopped a moment upon his last question, as if he really didn't know the answer to it. Blinking a moment he shrugged and walked on.

He led the boys to a small red wooden house with about no other neighbors. There was one other house sitting beside it, but it didn't look like anyone lived there. "Right this way, gentlemen!" Minku said, opening the door and ushering them inside. The house seemed warm and inviting, though a bit bare. It had a sofa and a round cotton blue rug in the middle, while a short book shelf lay at one of the walls and a lamp by it. Small as it was, the lamp seemed to brighten up the place. "Follow me!" Minku exclaimed. He lead them to the kitchen where a man stood over an oven, and the delicious aroma of pasta filled the house as soon as one entered it. "This is my dad!" Minku said, pointing to the man, who only looked around his shoulder upon sipping the sauce from a pot on the stove. "Oh, hi!" he said, waving.

"JEFF!!" Minku exclaimed, nearly glomping Garet and Isaac. "Come meet Jeff!" he raced to the back of the house, to his room, wherein lay an assortment of teddy bears and other stuffed animals, all of which looked like they needed to either be sewn back up or hauled off to the dump. Save for one. It was a white stuffed rabbit, which held a charred cross around its neck on a chain. "This is Jeff ^^ isn't she cute? She's modeling the necklace for Jenny" Minku said, pointing to a caged live white rabbit. "Heeeeeeeeeyyyy...." Minku examined the necklace closely. "It wasn't black when I left today >.o...OH NOEZ!!! It's the appocolypse!!! Jeff tells the future, you know..." Minku nodded.

Minku rummaged hurriedly through his closet, tossing oddities out while digging until he found what he was looking for. As he tossed about his things he managed to hit Garet in the head with a black book, though he didn't really take too much notice to it. "Oooooohhhh no....nonononono..." he bit his nails. "Elle's gonna kill me I know it she gave it to me PRECICELY to have for today...whatamIgonnado >

By this time Minku was burried alive in his closet, but when Garet asked him this question his head popped up like a mole on a Whack-a-Mole game, a green book balancing on his head. "Ellena? Who's Ellena?" the boy asked scratching his head speedily. His eyes went small a moment before enlarging as he'd realised yet another something and dived back into the pile. "I know Elle, but not Ellena...see, she's a fr--mumblemumble mumblemumble but I don't agree with that, cuz *hic*" Minku had gotten himself so submerged in his stuff that much of what he said was but muffled mumblings. "She's a good cook an' all, but doesn't compare mumblemumble mumblemumble 'BUT BUT BUT!!!' but she wouldn't give and it was all I could mumblemumble mumblemumble----" as the kid went on with his odd ramblings a tiny frame with a picture of Ellena in it came cruising past Isaac's head. It landed on the floor by Garet's feet. "That's Elle!!" Minku exclaimed, crawling out from his pile-o-crap.

((*beats the bloody hell out of Jordan in time with her words* DAMN...YOU...AND...YOUR...NIGHTSHIFT!!!!!!!*takes a deep breath* that boy has been keeping me up late! He moved in with meh and my family and he works nights...*continues to beat Jordan* AND HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!*dies*x.x My last post didn't go through either...hey Aki, I can give you an opening....and here it is! *continues to beat on Jordan as she posts*))

Back in hell Star was in an uproar. They still hadn't found the God sword or it's guardian. "Damn it all! Why the hell do I have minions if they can't do anything right! It's only a mater of time before I finish with all these Sins and then what am I supossed to do? Kill the little brat with my bare hands?" She was in the hidden room again, raging at the one being who couldn't hear her and wishing he could.

"It's only a matter of time before those two no account Norsemen show up and try to throw me off and you know it! What are you doing up there? Huh? Trying to watch me fail miserably so you can laugh at it all when everything dies? What the hell is going through your head? Are you just waiting for me to come crying back to you? What?" She raged punching the crystal Lucifer was incased in. It wouldn't break, it wouldn't even crack and she knew it. The only way for anything to happen was if she took the Angel crystal back into her own body.

"God I hate you! Even as a shell of what you once were you can mock me and make me feel like nothing. I just wish I knew what plan was hidden in that twisted head of yours. You know about the boy, you know about everything I do. So what in Hells name are you planning!" She growled as she punched the crystal yet again. "Tryany, Greed, Vanity, Pride, Glutony, Lust, and Sloth(lazyness I think...I did some reseasrch...). I have to satisfy each of these satans and sins before I can take your place. All I have left are the last three, and then the murder of a pure and innocent human soul. That's probably what you'd #### up for me, so I'm going to have to be a bit ahead of you on that...SHIA!!!!!" She called as she walked from the room.

"We need to find that guardian today." She growled as she opened a portal to the earth once again, this time it was just outside that office she'd inherited from her 'father'. When Shia appeared she looked rather determined. "We're going to earth and we are going to fine the guardian of the God sword, today." She said simply at his questioning look. She then turned and went throught the portal and on to a busy street. Where she almost ran head long into a young woman who she stopped, it was almost always raining on earth now adays and this child was drenched.

"It is bad for God's children to be out in such weather without any protection from the elements." She told the girl softly. There was something about this child that had made her stop. But what was it? The main reason she had stopped the girl was because the portal was still open and not hidden yet, but there was something else, something only demons or angels could sence.

She hid the portal and smiled down at the girl. "Such a pretty and young child of God should stay healthy." She said as an Umbrella appeared in her hand. "Or she might cause God to weep for her." Star added opening the umbrella over the girls head. "Here, I have another." She said with a smile.

Star felt the angel's presents long before she spoke but smiled none the less at the young girl in front of her. "Children like you are so pure and sweet and innocent. It makes me want to shake your world up like a snow globe just to see what you'll do." She said simply.

~Do you think I give a damn about you or any other angel that fallows me around on this earth? You are all just a short lived nusance and a useful tool.~ Star said simply, wondering what effect her words would have on the angel. The girl was only stairing at her and looked a little scared.

"Never fear my child, there is always some one to watch over you, even if you do not see them." Star said simply. She then gave the girl a hug and placed a demonic symbol on her that could not be seen or felt except for by a powerful demon or angel. " If you ever need anything just ask for me. I am simply a shadow and a phantom, sent to aid those who need guidance." Star said with a bow. With that she cast an illusion that she burst into blue roses, the roses of hell. She actually left a few true blue roses on the ground, but now that the girl could not see her she turned to face the angel.

"What do you wish to speak to me of Ellena? Because if this is about the boy, he's safe from me, for now. " She said simply as she faded into the room the boys were in taking Ellena and Shia with her. She looked at the stuffed rabbit, Jeff, and it's burned cross necklace. She growled. Vincent had been here.

"One down, now to find that son of a b***h and ask him what he thinks he's doing." She muttered. "Shia keep an eye on the boys and Angel for me, anything happens that is out of the ordinary, besides the rambling git," She gestured to Minku. "Let me know, I don't like the smell of this." Then she left appearing at Vincents' front door. She knocked and waited for an answer. What are you going to do Vince? Kill them so I can't? Or are you going to make some one else do it for you?
