Welcome to Gaia! ::

Masaya was working on his homework, his hand stroking over the outside of the orb every so often when it seemed to twitch or move around. The one inside was a little restless today but it wasn't anything bad. In fact Masaya was rather gladdened by it, that meant the one inside was healthy right? That he was doing well, as he had a rocky start to begin with he in the taking care of the tiger orb thing he was glad to see that it was moving around. It made him think of the way that tadpole moved around in their eggs before they finally decided to hatch, "Gonna come out of their to meet me soon Egg-chan?" He asked as he finished up one assignment and set it aside only to pick up the next tone.

It was hard to concentrate in school so he was having to bring most of his work home. It was him worrying all day about the orb and the one inside and who was out there that might want to take Egg-Chan away from him. He patted the orb, "I won't let that happen. We don't have to fight right?" He murmured, he didn't want to fight again, he wanted for things to stay peaceful. It would be better that way right?

But then again...

"I guess though if something is coming we might have to be ready, we can't let them hurt our friends." He murmured then almost jumped, "Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't even think about that. The ones comng are your friends aren't they? I hate the idea of you having to fight a friend so you don't have to ok? You can stay here and live with me. You can stay out of the fighting ok Egg-Chan?"

The egg gave a sort of a shiver as if agreeing with Masaya, then a hand lifted up to press again Masaya's where it was laying on the orb's surface.

Masaya smiled some, "Yeah. You can stay here and live a life of peace." He murmured, something inside of him told him that was all that his people wanted to do, they didn't want war. They just wanted to fight so that they could have somewhere to live, somewhere to grow and be happy. It was sad that they couldn't get along. So sad...

Masaya was outside in the backyard, laying on a blanket and looking up towards the starry sky and he gave a little it of a sigh, "Its hard to look up at the stars as peaceful as it is and know that there are those readying to attack and those that might already be here." He murmured to himself. He glanced towards his house, it wasn't something that he could deny though was it? After all the one called Chimaki was right here in his house. There was no way that he could take care of them all on his own, bring them in and change their minds. He almost laughed, that would be like him bringing in an army and giving them to Deep Blue. He was worried as it was that Deep Blue would take over and start ordering Chimaki around.

If he remembered correctly Deep Blue was the Messiah of that race, he somehow doubted that any orders he gave would be ignored.

'Its what I deserve for being in charge.' a voice in his mind said sounding rather bored, course what Masaya didn't know was the fact that the current rebellion was being lead by Pai as Deep Blue was assumed dead. Maybe the new aliens wouldn't even care if Deep Blue told them to do something? Or to back off? He had no idea about what Deep Blue had met with Kish over either. The idea of them 'teaming up with' the Mew Mews would never occurr to him. That was the beauty of the plan though, Pai would never see it coming either, fool that he was.

Then again for the moment Deep Blue himself was out of the game, for two reason one that neither Deep Blue or Masaya was away of. The fact that Chimaki was still drawing energy from them, slowly growing strong inside of the tiger orb.

Masaya watched as a light streaked across the sky and he gave a sigh, wondering if maybe what he was seeing wasn't a star something else? Were the Mew Mew ready? Did they suspect? What about the aliens? Were they going to attack soon? How much more peace did they have? He jerked up to his feet and scooped up his blanket and headed into the house. He had to go to see her, had to see Ichigo. It could be his last chance if a battle were to break out tomorrow!

He had barely made it into the house when out of no where he was overcome with a headache. He gave a gasping sound, lifting his hands to clutch at his head and he sank down to his knees heavily and gasped for a breath, "W-What the... Ah..."

'Now, now Masaya. You know you can't go there.' If the little brat did that then all of his plans wouldn't come to fruit, he wasn't sure if Kish had talked to her yet so until he was sure of it Masaya wasn't going over there, 'What if I take advantage? She wouldn't even suspect until I had my sword stuck through her belly. After all, she thinks I'm dead, thinks she saved your from me. How pathetic.' Deep Blue purred and Masaya gave a sob, half of pain and half of fear that Deep Blue would do exactly that.

"Just wanna see her..." His heart ached with the need to see her.

'Selfish words you speak, but do feel free. When you done with her if you want to go visit the other Mew Mew so that I can have a stab at them as well?'

"Shut up!" Masaya hissed in a not normal for him tone of voice. He forced himself to his feet and stummbled towards the kitchen getting himself some asprin and some tea. He sank against the counter as he took three and gulped them down with the tea hoping that they would help to fight off the awful pain that was pounding through his head. It felt like something was stabbing into his temple. It wasn't long before the headache started to subside, Deep Blue had gone silent too. The threats had been enough, Masaya would do as he was told and stay here, away from the catgirl and Kish would have time to work his magic on her.

Someday soon though, he was going to swallow up Masaya again into him and he would be the one in control of the body. Only this time there would be no mistakes made that let him fight back.

Masaya's eyes slipped closed and before he could stop himself he was asleep in the kitchen, sitting on the floor leaned against the counter, "I... chigo..."

Dinner

Masaya was quite proud of himself for all that he had accomplished int he way of food.Though the more he looked at the cabinets the more that he knew he was going to have to go out and do some shopping rather soon. He was out of most of everything and that wouldn't do very well with him needing to feed now not only himself but Chimaki too for as long as the Alien decided to stay here with him. He looked over towards the hall that lead to his room and gave a little smile before he started to carry things to the table. First he set out the plates, flatware, and glasses, he then went to fetch the food bringing it over to set on the table, and finally he poured drinks. He looked it over before heading down the hall to retreive Chimaki.

He took one step into the room before he paused a squeak escaping his throat at the site before him. Chimaki was sleeping still, covered in the blanket, and floating a good foot above the bed. Masaya hurried over to look out his bedroom window and around, he doubted that anyone saw anything but he pulled the curtains closed none the less and walked over to the bed and reached over to poke Chimaki in the side, "Time to wake up." He announced.

Chimaki's eyes popped open and he fell out of the air onto the bed looking around, "Ahh... five more minutes." He complained before blinking a couple times and starred at Masaya, "Ahh. Hey Masaya, sorry. Thought you were someone else." he said sitting up quickly and gave a little bit of a yawn, he felt a little better after his nap but now he was just plain hungry. The thought was accented by a loud growl from his stomach that had Masaya laughing.

"I came in to tell you that dinner was ready and is waiting on the table for us." Masaya informed the alien then held a hand out to help him up out of the bed.

Chimaki took it and hopped out of bed onto the ground, "Lead the way." He said with a bright smile on his face.

Masaya nodded and headed out of the room, now that the thought about it despite being here so long he doubted that Chimaki knew where anything was in the house, he would give him the grand tour after they ate.

Chimaki took the time of floating along after Masaya to look around, trying to gather information so that he could know a little more about Masaya. He was finding very little though, he was a neat person from the way that everything to be immacualtely cleaned up, he was a bit of a lonely person as it seemed that there was nothing around that indicated other people being here that often, and he was a smart person from the looks of some of the books that he had in his room. A lot of them were about endangered species, recycling, conservation, and things like that.

Chimaki almost bumped into Masaya when he stopped suddenly in diningroom, "Ahh. Excuse me." He murmured.

Masaya gave a bit of a laugh and pointed, "You can sit there and I will dish up some food for you. I made a little of everything as I wasn't sure exactly what it was that you wanted to eat or even what sorts of things that you liked."

Chimaki looked over that which was sitting on the table, his orange eyes widened a little and he hurriedly floated over to sit down, "This all looks so good!" So much better then anything that they had at home to eat. He was almost squirming in his seat as Masaya put a little bit of everything on his plate and he scooped up his fork and started to dig in. He was almost inhaling his food, barely chewing, "Mmm... so good!"

Masaya walked around the table to take his seat, "There is plenty so you can slow down. I would rather that you didn't choke." He said with a bit of a grin.

Chimaki looked around a moment then slowed down quite a bit, he had forgotten for a moment where they were and that they were alone. He had no worries about other showing up to take what was his away from him. He was safe to eat slowly and actually taste all of the treats that were before him. This was a new experiance that was for sure and one that he meant to savor. He was so used to having to horde anything good, fight to keep it, and then inhale it when he had the chance so it didn't get stolen away by someone that was stronger then he was.

"Its better when you slow down isn't it?" Masaya asked.

"It is." Chimaki agreed.

He paused a moment starring down at his plate before looking up at Masaya, "You said that we could stand at the sidelines, that we didn't have to fight right?" He would have sworn that he had heard Masaya say those words to him.

"I did, there are times when I wonder if I will be able to though. I can't let my friends, the one that I love fight alone though." He murmured with a little sigh, maybe he could see her then? It would be a good excuse to get close to Ichigo, the desire to protect her. He wanted for nothing more then to be able to be with her, "You though, if you fight or if you don't is up to you. I will trust you to make the choice that is best for you Chimaki."

Chimaki nodded, he didn't know yet. He didn't want to fight again Masaya and his friends anymore then he wanted to fight against his own people. He supposed that it would all come down to circumstance?

"Try not to worry about it though Chimaki. For now lets just enjoy dinner and celebrate."

He looked up at the human boy, head tilting to the side, "Celebrate?"

"Of course! We are celebrating your arrival into the world. You were just 'born' here remember. We always like to celebrate when new life comes into the world." Masaya said then put some more food on Chimaki's plate.

Celebrate his arrival? He gave a bit of a smile, he liked that idea, "Alright. Lets do that then."
