/ 6:40am /
Touya slipped in a few minutes after Kara, finding said teammate already nestled under her covers. He crept along the floorboards, taking care not to disturb the slumbering dragon. Touya reached his extent of the room and proceeded to change. He wrestled his staple mesh undershirt down and over his torso before garbing the rest of his battle attire. A few adjustments later and he stole his way towards the door, gently closing it behind him.

 ~ Kara the Fire Dragon ~ (7:50am) After sleeping for over an hour, Kara woke up, properly this time, and gave a rather feline stretch and yawn. She was feeling much more alert than she had the first time she had woken up, and after making a few stretches, smoothed down her outfit and headed off to explore. (Leaves for training ground. With this post I have completed the timeline and can now focus on the stuff at the mansion)

Kiyoshi sighed as he walked into the team room and made his way over to a free bed. He was a little tired, but not enough to actually sleep yet. He had gotten the sustenance he required(went to a near-by lake to fish since he didn't want to go to the cafeteria alone) but now he didn't know where any of his team mates, that he was willing to intrude upon, were. So, here he was, just meditating on his bed to await sleep to find him. And I want a moment to be real,

 (-enters at 8:30pm-)
Upset with how things went at the bathhouse, Jin entered the team room, wanting to get away from everyone, even if it was for a little while. Glancing around the room, Jin let out a soft sigh, finding the room to be empty. And for the first time, in the longest of times, was glad to be alone. The wind demon began to float around the room, enjoying the solitude for a short while before settling down on his bed, falling back onto it, his head hitting the pillow, his blue eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. Just what happened back there? First Jin had intentions of asking Kara for advice (something he was too proud to do at times), and then he left, sulking like a baby? But it was just the feeling he got from everyone while being in the room, even if for those ten minutes, of feeling unwanted. Was he really that much of a nuisance? Jin let out a heavy sigh, trying his best to fight off this sudden feeling. Just what has he done to be so... unwanted by his friends? Jin's upper body instantly shot up into the air, his blue eyes narrowing in a dangerous manner, as his eyes turned cold. This was all ShiShi's fault! While ShiShi was gone doing whatever it was to become famous, Kara was near always by his side, giving her all the attention in the world! And now with ShiShi back in the picture... All's it seemed to Jin, was that Kara was revolving herself all around ShiShi, making it seem, to Jin, that he was all she wanted and cared about! The thought alone began to make the wind demon's blood boil, a scowl forming on his face. But it seemed as fast as he got angry, the quickly he settled down, his shoulders slumping as he bowed his head. Maybe what ShiShi said earlier was right... Jin was jealous! Because ShiShi has something Jin wants, some of Kara's attention. "So he was right... I should be sure ta tell him tha'. Boost tha' overly inflated ego o'his some more..." the red head muttered under his breath, kicking at the ground beneath his feet.
Well, no more time for sulking! Time to do what he was originally going to do! Find his marbles so he can show them off to Kame! At least she'd appreciate his company! These marbles meant the world to Jin, his most nearest and dearest possesion he held. No one was allowed to play with or even touch them! Not even Touya, and oh boy, whenever Jin found out they were touched, somebody was sure to get their ear chewed off alright! With a small scofff, Jin carefully fell off the bed, landing on his side, reaching under his bed with one hand to look for his bag. After a few minutes of blindly groping around, he found it, and quickly tugged it out from it's hiding spot. Everything will be better in a few minutes, once he got back to Kame that is~ With a determined smile on his face, Jin opened the bag and began taking the contents out, one by one, looking for his white silk bag of marbles. Now... Where were they? Jin wondered to himself, continuing on with his search.

He was standing outside the team room, wanting to enter but finding himself hesitant. Normally when his siblings got into a huff they had to destroy something before he could comfort them. But, he didn't didn't hear any destruction, just a lot of shuffling around. He knows he didn't read Jin's body language wrong, he was just as upset as he is now. But....he always seemed to shake it off. But, he wasn't going to leave him the wrong impression from himself if he did give one. So, gathering his courage, he knocked on the door frame before he silently walked in, holding the hakama and briefs that he had planned on changing into close to his chest, wishing he had thought to take the white board with him.And I want a moment to be real,

Jin had been too preoccupied looking with his marbles to hear the soft knock at the door, although his ears did twitch upwards at the sound, alerting him, and showing he was on guard. The red head continued ruffling through his bag, throwing things here and there, not bothering to see where they landed. His bag was starting to get a bit empty... Just where were those marbles?! Jin let out a small grumbling noise, his brows furrowing close together in aggrivation. Why is this day seemingly getting worse with each passing moment?! "I coulda sworn I left 'em in here somewhere..." Jin mumbled under his breath, his hand running against the bottom of the bag, signifying everything had already been taken out. The wind demon let out a small whine, falling back against the bed, his head hitting the top as he tilted it back. He closed his eyes, trying his best to remember where they we're, when suddenly, footsteps alerted him to another presense, and instantly, Jin sprang out of his depressive position, and turned towards the door, finding none other than Kiyoshi there! So someone did care!
Jin flew over to greet the water dragon, trapping the male in his vice like grip, nuzzling cheeks with him. The lonelines felt good... but it seemed a bit too much for the wind demon to handle. "Kiyoshi! Yer here! So good ta see ya!" Jin cried out, squeezing Kiyoshi into him before suddenly letting go. Jin then hovered back a few steps, his smile slowly forming into that of a frown. "a'hm sorry about wha' happened at the bath house. It's jus'... a'hm havin' a bit o'a problem right now..." Jin confessed, a small blush dusting his cheeks as he bowed his head, as if embarrassed. "usually I jus' go ta Touya, a'cause he knows how ta deal with me. But this time... I really couldn't a'cause my problem includes Touya." Slowly, Jin looked up to Kiyoshi, offering a small bashful smile. "A'sides... Kara is always there too if I need somethin' but... Now tha' ShiShi is back... I feel as if a'hm not as important as I used ta be..." The wind demons voice seemed to soften as he looked towards the door, half expecting to see Kara running in. Maybe he wasnt't as important as he thought he was anymore... Letting out a soft sigh, Jin turned to his side, peering down into his bag looking for his little bag of marbles.

He started when Jin got into a defensive position, fearing that he was going to suffer retribution. But then it turned out to just be one of his usual flying hugs, which he surrendered to and gave him a gentle nuzzle to show he was glad to see Jin too. He waved off the apology about the bathhouse, not really all that bothered about the fly by as he was about the reaction he had with ShiShi and Kara together. So, when he revealed his fear he gently set his change of cloths on the bed nearest before he walked over and once again took the wind master into a gentle hug. He'd show Jin that he was just as important and before and that he was here to listen and to try and help.And I want a moment to be real,

Touya lightly rapped the door before stepping into the room. "Everything alright in here~?" he inquired, tossing the laundry into its designated bag. He observed the two for a brief moment- Kiyoshi obviously wished to console the disgruntled Jin- The latter preoccupying himself in what looked like a frenzied search.
He was clearly distressed, and Touya couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt.
Begrudgingly, he reached into his travel pack to acquire Jin's 'treasure'. He cleared his throat to catch the redhead's attention and dangled the satin pouch before him. "Please, for the love of all that's good an holy, be careful with them." He knew from experience that once the contents left that sack, injuries were bound to happen. Leave it to the wind master to turn an innocent game of marbles into a round of 'duck and cover for your life'.

Jin's good mood seemed to pick up as Kiyoshi returned the affectionate nuzzle. The wind demon did a good job picking up on Kiyoshi's words, although he didn't have the chance to speak. And that thought made Jin's eyes widen with a sudden revelation. Kiyoshi didn't have his whiteboard! So how was he supposed to talk? Jin chose to worry about that later, just the fact he had some company was good enough for the time being. As he released Kiyoshi from his hug, Jin gave a smile before apologizing about the incident. Although it seemed Kiyoshi didn't mind, the thought still did bother Jin a little bit. He took a few steps back, gazing down into his bag, looking for his marbles, becoming distracted with his own thoughts. It wasn't until the small shuffling of clothes, and a pair of warm arms wrap around him, did Jin snap out of his trance, a small gasp slipping past his lips as he turned to face Kiyoshi. Sure, the water demon didn't say much, but it's like they say, actions speak louder than words! The wind demon began to smile, returning the hug with a gentle one of his own. "Thank ya Kiyoshi. A'hm so glad ta have a frien like ya." The red head mumbled, leaning forward, nuzzling his head into Kiyoshi's shoulder, letting out a soft sigh, his warm breath hitting against the other's shoulder. Jin stayed like this for a few moments before leaning away, a smile coming to his face. "It's nice ta know I have someone ta talk with too! Though m'problem jus' seems... I dunno. Stupid. ShiShi was right earlier, a'hm jealous o'him a'cause he has somethin' I don't. He has all o'Kara's attention... An' somethin' else..." Jin released Kiyoshi from the hug, and fell back onto the bed, bouncing twice before calming down, folding his hands in his lap.
"Ya see... ShiShi has Kara. He has a relationship. He has... wha' I hear ta be the best thing in the world. Someone to love, share the good an' bad times with... I know ya can do tha' with friends an' all but..." Jin paused, letting out a soft sigh, thinking back to the time spent in the room with Kame, all the urges, and temptations he refused to give in to. "Ya see... I've been off, doin' m'own thing while everyone else went and did their own. An' I've been spendin' mc'time with Kame. Do ya remember her? Ya guys met at the mansion earlier." He paused once more, giving his friend a few moments to think back to that time before continuing. "Well... Le's jus' say, after her little match, she ended up gettin' real hurt. So I took her back ta her room an' fixed her up. I really didn't want ta leave her alone fer too long... So we started talkin' an' havin' a good time." Jin replied, offering a bashful smile before continuing. "So we spent a lot o'time jus' gettin' ta know one another... an' it sounds weird ta say... but I started gettin' this nervous feelin'. An' somethin' was jus' tellin' me ta... kiss her. Supposin' tha' means I really must like her, uh?" Jin let out a weak laugh, reaching up to rub at the back of his head. "The time felt right... But before I could gather up the courage ta do anythin'... Touya popped into m'mind. An' le's jus' say... I have feelin's fer Touya too. Fer a long time I have. Ta be honest, Touya is kinda... m'first crush an' all. I've jus' been too nervous ta say somethin' or do anythin' about it. I feel like... it might ruin our friendship. Or he may not like me the same way. I dun want ta ruin anythin'... Ya know? So because o'all these thoughts runnin' through m'mind... a'hm torn. I dun know who ta tell. I mean either way, a'hm goin' ta tell both o' 'em how I feel in the end but..." Jin let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slacking as he bowed his head. It sure did feel better to get all that out but... he still felt troubled. "A'hm sorry Kiyoshi. All's a'hm doin' is jus' talkin' yer ear off..." he managed to mumbled, not bothering to lift his head up, his mind filled with a bunch of various thoughts.
But once more a light tapping at the door, alerted the red head and a smile began to form on his face. Did Kara come to talk with him too?! Jin perked his head up, showing off his excited face as he turned to look at the door only to see... Touya standing in the doorway?! Jin's eyes widened as a dark blush covered his face. How much did he hear?! Why did I have to open m'big fat mouth?! Jin thought frantically to himself as he held back the urge to cower into Kiyoshi. At Touya's question, Jin let out a nervous laugh, waving his hands frantically in the air. "heheh! Oh! Yeah! Everythin' is jus' fine! No worries here Touya! Hahah!" The red head called out, continuing his little fit of nervous laughter that is... until the soft clanking noises of marbles caught his attention. And as his white silk bag of marbles was taken out of Touya's pouch, Jin let out a cry of delight. His marbles! So that's where they were hiding this whole time! "Ya found 'em! Ya found 'em! No wonder I couldn't find 'em. Hehe... Supposin' they were hidin' on me, uh? Thank ya so much Touya!" Jin was overfilled with glee as he jumped up from his seat, flying towards Touya, grinning from ear to ear. After tackling to poor ice demon to the ground, Jin smothered him with affection, rubbing cheeks while his hands went and grabbed the pouch from his hands. "Yay! I've got 'em back at last! An' dun worry Touya! I'll be sure ta be safe! No worries on this part!" Giggling with glee, Jin releasing Touya from his smothering hold, and jumped to his feet, holding the pouch close to his chest. "I can't wait ta show 'em off!" Jin chimed, his ears wiggling happily as he laughed.

He gave a small nod, careful of the wind master's head in his own way of saying "you're welcome". When he began to reveal his fear, he walked over and sat down on the bed next to him, loaning a polite ear for it all. When asked if he remembered Kame, he gave a nod, the quiet fox demon that eventually walked off right before they were transported to the arena. When he explained about his feelings for both Kame and Touya, he pondered the conundrum for a little bit to try and help out his new friend. He honestly didn't mind getting his ear talked off, he just wished he could return the favor with his own. He was about to give his advice, to just tell Touya and see what happens when he happened to walk in himself.
He gave a gentle smile and a sigh, glad that Jin was back to his happy self but at the same time he had to confront his problems. So, while Jin tackled Touya with thanks for returning his marbles to him, he went over to his own bed to pick up the white board and marker that he had left behind when he went to the baths. Swiftly he wrote while the duo was distracted and walked back over to the victorious wind master. He carefully hid the writing on the board from Touya's sight, this was private, as he gently tapped Jin's shoulder. When he did turn around, he angled the board for only Jin could read it as long as Touya didn't get nosy about it.
I say reveal your feelings for Touya. I think he feels the same, and even if he doesn't I think you two have been together far too long to let something like this between you. And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same.

Of course they would wind up in the floor. How silly of Touya to think otherwise. He merely sat and took the overabundant display of affection, having learned that retaliating would only prolong his 'torture'. Finally, he was relinquished from the death grip, much to his lungs' approval. Touya cast a rather flat look at the redhead as he excitedly babbled on, that is until Kiyoshi came to the rescue, distracting Jin with what appeared to be a covert message. It was clear that whatever was scrawled upon the white board was not meant for him to see. Head tilted, he narrowed his eyes in growing suspicion. Yes, there was definitely something fishy going here. "Just what are you hiding, there~?" he questioned, moving towards the pair.

After reclaiming his marbles, Jin jumped to his feet, glancing down at Touya, wearing his trademark toothy grin. "This jus' made m'day so much better~ now tha' I have m'marbles, I can go back ta Kame an' show 'em off!" Jin chimed, holding the bag up to his cheek, enjoying the soft feel of the bag, as he got ready to speak once more. "Ya always were good at findin' them when I lost them. Although... I still think it was Gama who kept 'accidentally' movin' 'em when he cleaned around the house. Wonder why he'd want to do tha' fer..." The wind master mumbled, a curious look coming to his face as he tilted his head. Not coming up with a reason, Jin shrugged his shoulders. "Anywho... It's nice ta be seein' ya Touya. Where have ya been?" Jin innocently inquired, getting ready to say something else when he was tapped on the shoulder.
Slowly, Jin turned to face Kiyoshi, watching as the silent male brought up his white board, giving his advice on his troublesome situation. A nervous smile crossed the red head's face as he looked to Touya from the corner of his eye. Kiyoshi thought that Touya might like him? Now wasn't that reassuring? Confidence began to swell up in Jin's chest as his smile began to grow at the thought. But Kiyoshi still had a good point, even if Touya didn't like him... It wouldn't ruin their friendship, right? They had been through too much together to just throw it all away over something like this... Jin gave a small nod of his head, acknowledging Kiyoshi's advice. "Thank ya fer listenin' ta me Kiyoshi. I think I'll take yer advice into consideration. Though I still dun know what I'd do if... Ya know, Kame an' all..." Jin mumbled, his good mood seeing to fade a bit at the thought. If him and Touya did end up together... How would he be able to break it to Kame? But before he could say something else, it seemed as if Touya's curiosity got the better of him, as he inquired what was on the white board. Alarmed, Jin began shaking his head, stepping in front of Kiyoshi, shielding the view of the letters with his body. "N-Nothin' Touya! Dun worry! Kiyoshi was erm... uh... Givin' me some encouragement! Tryin' ta cheer me up an' all! Tha's all! No need ta be gettin' curious!" Jin replied in a hurried tone, holding a hand up behind his back, waving it as if he was scratching at his back, but instead was motioning for Kiyoshi to erase the words. If Touya saw that before Jin had the chance to speak... Things might not end so well!
Not letting these thoughts distract him, Jin took one last look at Kiyoshi, a determined look seeming to replace his nervous smile. Alright! The time to talk was now! There's no more holding back! 'I've been doin' it fer too long! I want and need fer Touya ta hear wha' I have ta say! I need ta stop holdin' it off. The faster he knows, the faster I know wha' I have ta do.' Jin thought to himself. "Wish me luck Kiyoshi..." Jin whispered softly, before turning to face his friend. "'Ey Touya... are ya busy? A'cause I think now is the time ta talk... There's a few things I want ta say, an' I think ya should know..." Jin replied, taking on a serious posture and face as he drew in a deep breath. 'now or never...! Dun be screwin' this up!' Jin's mind chanted in the back of his head.

Touya grew more disquisitive as the scene unfolded. Why couldn't he look? What was the problem? What did Kame have to do with this?
He took a step back in alarm as Jin blatantly intervened and shielded Kiyoshi -plus the white board- from view.
Upon the wind demon's request, he cocked his head in confusion. True, it was about time they had their chat about the whole Kara/Shishi matter, being that they were previously cut short from the opening ceremony... Jin seemed awfully nervous, though.
"Nnnno, I'm not busy...." he drawled, pallid brows furrowing as he speculatively studied the redhead. There was an odd shift in the wind demon's persona, and Touya perceived this conversation may not exactly entail what he originally expected. "... What is it, Jin?"

He smiled and nodded when he was thanked for listening. If there was anything he was good at, it was certainly listening. When Kame was brought up, he bit his lip and shrugged. There was going to be someone hurt either way, and he'd rather Touya and Jin get together than whoever Kame was. She might be a nice girl, he couldn't really say since he only saw her, but these two were meant to be together, he could feel it. It was then that Touya showed curiosity about the board. Subtle, Jin was not about his worry of seeing the board. With the best innocent face he could muster, which is pretty darn good if he could say so himself, he easily swiped the words off the board. At the emboldened expression on Jin's face, he gave another smile and walked over to his own bed. He could act invisible too, even if he would still be there.And I want a moment to be real,
