Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kio proceeds to trip over his own feet trying to reach the door. Kio pants and puffs as he regains himself infront of the door before knocking several times. He sits the door with thoughts of finding the mouse dead. He didn't want him to pass without living out his contract. Kio tapped his foot anxiously waiting for anyone to answer the door.

Kio looked at the girl who openned the door for him nervously. He then wipes his bangs from his forehead, from the run and asked, "Has my spirit guide been here? He's well, a little white mouse." His voice alittle anxious , but still in his low tone. He worried for the little one as he hadn't been worried before. His arms were tense from the stress of his lost connection, and his eyes half open.

Kio then stood up straight with a look of disheartedness, he was at the wrong room. He then heard he ask about his health, he then thought, he did come in really stressed, he shouldn't over stress himself before his fight. He shakes his head and says, "I'm fine, just looking for my mouse. Sorry to bother you." He says slightly bowing his head. He then began to walk away from the door thinking of where another room was.

While still asleep,Sen dream of nothingness. Pitch black surrounded her. So dark that she couldn't even see her hands when lifting them,but heard and felt powerful wind,coming from various directions.
She was in the middle of a storm,unable to walk,unable to move.
Unlike the average nightmare,where you wake up suddenly,she woke up naturally,her eyes gradually opening but staring blank at the ceiling.
Her body felt cold and painful.
"Ugh....I thought I've been completely healed...." she uttered as she sat up,pushing the blankets away. Sen looked around the room,finding her entire team to be still there,and sighed in reassurance. At least she wouldn't have to worry about anyone missing. Then she noticed the clock,time indicating that she didn't sleep quite as much as she hoped she would,still feeling tired...if not even more tired then before,with the newfound pain.
True,she had been healed, but it seemed the after effects were starting to show up. That particular last technique she used made her limbs feel completely numb and frozen. She felt better after being healed,but now things were starting to come back,and even worse.
She felt that she couldn't move her arm,the one she used for virtual death.
Probably her nerves were temporarily affected due to the charge that went trough them when applying the technique. Hopefully it was just temporarily...
Getting up slowly,not to hint her handicap, she walked over to the team's rest room (yeah,each room has it's own I guess, we can pretend the door was at the wall that we don't practicly see ),holding an obi to replace the ropes Mukuro had given her earlier,and to fix her attire so that her unmovable arm wouldn't be too visible. Finding a mirror there,she noticed her face was pretty pale.
Minutes later she came out and walked over to the exit,avoiding her team mates eyes,so they would hopefully not notice her state, waving at them after reaching the door "I'll be out for a while..I'll see you later at the arena so we can watch the fight,ok?" she put on a cheerful tone and then left the room.


(Leaves- for Kuroda mansion )

"It helps to be quiet and focus when you meditate..." Karogane said to Aoki after her sudden outburst. His eyes were still closed, and other than his mouth he hadn't budged an inch. He knew she was studying him and trying to copy, so his response was a simple suggestion, nothing meant in a rude way.

"Oh..." Aoki said, blushing in shame and embarrassment. "Okay, I-I'll be quiet now, Karo..." She went to turn on the television, but then remembered what she had seen on it. Shuddering in horror, she sat on a bed and attempted to meditate once again, this time not being as annoying...

Mukuro cursed under her breath, rolling off of her bed with a loud thud, followed by an "Ow." She'd meant to stand up properly, but apparently she was still rather disoriented from being drunk. "Thanks for the info, I'd better get to the stadium..." she mumbled, probably softer than she'd meant to say it, but loud sounds were making her head hurt worse. She dreaded what being in the stadium would be like, but she'd made a promise to herself to watch any matches that counted that her men were involved in. Had to know if she had to go revive anyone, right?

After Mukuro stumbled to the door, she paused and turned to look at Karogane, mouth open as if she was going to say something. After about a full minute of just standing there, the demoness sighed in frustration and left. She'd never been good at expressing her feelings through words, and she was even worse at apologizing. Maybe she'd send Chrome to apologize to Karogane on her behalf later. Why couldn't everyone be like Hiei and understand when she was and wasn't in her right mind?

(Leaves for Opening Ceremonies stadium)

"Everything's fine." Karogane replied to Aoki when she asked. Secretly they weren't, but that could wait until the tournament was over. Karogane then stood up and stretched. "I'm going to the stadium to watch the fights. Coming?"
