Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lilith waited as the limo pulled up in front of the mansion, past the fountain. "Did you like the ride?" She smiled at Kira holding up a glass of sparkling cider while watching his reaction. "This is my place! Don't be intimidated by it's size."

"Stop biting your fingernails. It's bad for them." Lilith laughed. "You don't have to call me Mistress. I think that sounds too over the top for me. Oh and do you want me to take the collar off? It was just for show while we were still at the market." Kitayama looked out her door as the driver opened it and she grabbed his hand and stepped out. "Thank you James."

Kitayama stared at the mansion. "Yes, I own this place. It was my grandmothers and she left everything to me. I am the only grandchild so that's probably why. She did leave a lot of money but there's really no use for it. I use it for things most people would frown upon. I pay the employees. As you know, they are male but since they're mine, I can do what I want with them. James here is just a sweetheart aren't you James?" She addressed the limo driver.

He smiled at Lilith. He was much taller than her, although everybody seemed to be.

"He's been driving me around since I was four. And the gardener, his name is Mike. You can see him way over there weeding in the flower bed. Hey Mike!" Lilith flung her arms over her head wildly. Mike just smiled and nodded back. "We also have a couple butlers and housekeepers and some cooks but I still expect you to keep your own room clean and make your bed. Does that sound alright?" Lilith turned and smiled at Kira.

Lilith ducked back into the limo, dragging Kira out. "Come on! We're supposed to go inside!" When she finally dragged him out, she grabbed ahold of his collar and took it off for him. "There!" She handed it back to him. "Do with it what you want. Toss it, keep it, burn it for all I care! None of the staff here wear collars either! They could run if they wanted to but this is probably the only place that would pay them and take care of them. They each have their own rooms too!" Lilith smiled as she gently pushed Kira towards the mansion. "Just go inside! See for yourself! Do you like animals?"

Lilith sighed and kneeled down so her head was slightly lower than his. "I have you. Remember? And what do I actually need to get from you? You're young. It's not like I'm going to make you do horrible things and beat you. I'm not like that! Now you have to remember that I may be short but you're shorter." Lilith stood up. "Now who do I look like? Who do I sound like?" She was curious if this was what may be upsetting him. If it was, he would probably yell a little bit more but that was fine with her. She herself sometimes had to yell and felt much better after doing so.

Lilith gasped and stifled a scream. "James! Run inside and get Adam! Tell him to meet us in the first living and bring a first aid kit!"

As James ran inside, Lilith bent over Kira's body and picked him up. He was surprisingly light but she just ran inside, holding his head so he wasn't hurt any further. She took him into the living room where Adam was already waiting. She barely heard him say to lay him on the couch but she did so. She sat back as Adam stopped the bleeding nose and checked for any other cuts or bumps.

When Adam was done, he walked over to Lilith. "He will be alright. He's lucky his nose isn't broken, but it will probably be sore for a while. He hit his head but not hard enough to cause too much damage. He should be fine by tomorrow but may have a headache when he wakes up."

Lilith nodded in reply and uncurled her legs from underneath her. She softly walked over to where Kira lay on the couch and sat down on the edge. Despite his attitude, she felt like she should take care of him and not let anything happen. She gently raised her hand and tucked a stray lock of his hair behind his ear and began to think.

Kari...that must have been his sister. Lilith grabbed the papers that showed Kira's full name and wondered if she would be able to find Kari. Tomorrow. That would be best. Lilith pulled up a chair right beside the couch and sat it in, watching Kira carefully. He seemed alright. She smiled and slowly fell asleep.

Hearing Kira talk made Lilith open her eyes. She looked at him and smiled. "You're ok!"

She sat up and leaned over him. "You hit your head pretty hard. What happened? You just seemed to get dizzy and fall. Are you sick?" She gently placed her hand on his forehead. "You're burning up! Do you need anything?"

Lilith glared at him. "You are going no where! You're sick and you can barely stand! Who do you think got you into this house? I did! I carried you! I slept here all night to make sure you were ok! The least you could do is show some appriciation! You are going to go upstairs and stay in bed for a few days. Is that clear?"
