Into the Stars

[Ricia]

After everyone left. Buba sat quietly drinking her tea, letting Shougen and Justice catched some rest. When the knock on the door came, she thought about ignoring it... but decided she should answer it.


On her way to the door, she stopped a moment to see a rainbow Lyr on the roof of the house. It must be Issa's... she'll have to get it a bit later. She can't reach it now..


Turning back to the door she headed to it before opening it, "Hello..." She answered a bit coldly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

in front of her was a blonde witch with a Mika android. "What a normal greeting," the woman said she was dressed in a simple but pretty dress her curls pinned up to pull them away from her face "May me and Mimi come in?" she asked.

 

[Ricia]

"Annie?" Buba asked almost shocked. "Well this is hardly my home... but yes." Buba opened the door.


The Mika Android smiled and walked in behind Annie. She stopped, "Good morning Madame."


"Hello Mika." Buba said.


"It's Mimi now." the Mika bot said politely.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I thought it was high time she got a proper name," Annie smiled "Oh Madame we thought we lost you when the shop just crashed down," she hugged Buba.

 

[Ricia]

Buba was surprised by the hug before hugging her back. "I'm fine... just.. a bit low on magic right now.." Buba told Annie. "It's been a very long time... how have your travels been?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"They are ok, we find all sorts of nifty things, Me and Mimi have a few saved up for you you know? Oh and all the wishes we could grant makes me miss being a wish fairy all the time,"

 

[Ricia]

Buba smiled and invited Annie in and sat down. "By the way.. I left Justice and Shougen in each other's arms in the other room. Neither of them know... so i'm expecting and scream and a thump. Don't be surprised if Justice franticly comes into the room looking for me either." Buba told Annie, it was what she was expecting to happen. If Shougen woke up first... he'd proububly scream from being startled... Justice might throw Shougen off the bed or the cat would flip... then Justice would likely panic and try and find where she went.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Annie giggled "How in the world did you move around and not wake the all knowing Knight?" she asked sitting down "last time I saw him he was sharp as knife and quick as an arrow,"

 

[Ricia]

"Justice has not been the same Annie... hes not the same when you last saw him.." Buba told Annie a bit sadly and softly. She closed her eyes a moment and sighed. "He is still as poised as ever, but his health if not doing very well."


"Have you not seeked medical assistance?" Mimi asked.


"Well we all know Justice is stubborn as a bull... but he is also just getting on in age." Buba told them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"He ages?" Annie asked shocked "I could have sworn he never did... how are you taking this?"

 

[Ricia]

Buba sighed, "I didn't really come to realize it till a recent development among the fairy." Buba opened her eyes again, "I've been thinking about ways I can stop it... because I can stop it.. but I can't unless Justice wants it. As much as I know he loves me... I don't think an eternal life with me is what he wants."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Have you asked him?" Annie asked her.


Justice opened his eyes ans saw shougen the man yelpped and pushed off trying to get off the bed and he fell into the floor pulling the demon with him unnintentionally.


"Their awake," Annie said hearing the yelp.

 

[Ricia]

Buba was going to answer before there was a thump.


"Ah!" Shougen suddenly yelled when he was pulled off the bed. Justice was attached to him, "What the hell! Get off me!" Shougen said flailing away from Justice.


Buba chuckled a bit, "Yes, they are. Justice will be here to scold me shortly." She told Annie.

 

[InsaneTruth]

the knight let go of Shougen and scrambled to his feet. The poor man was not too happy with the rude awakening. Wasn't Buba supposed to be nice when he was weaker then normal?


'


Annie chuckled "Mimi, aren't you glad we live in a nice peacful place? and outside of madame's occasional trick?"


Justice left the room a bit dazed he apologized to Shougen though.

 

[Ricia]

Shougen snorted and sat up before following behind with Justice.


Mimi smiled and nodded, "Yes, peaceful indeed. Until you ran off on the next grand adventure that usually brings a lot of trouble."


"How shit... it's Annie!" Shougen said when they walked in the room. "And she looks like a grown woman now." That almost sounded like a teasing insult.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Shougen you rotten cat, I have grown up, You are still mangy as ever," Annie huffed at the demon though it was ment in playful fun.


Justice smiled "Its good to see you Annie... MAdame. really must you have placed Shougen in my arms?" he chastices Buba lightly.

 

[Ricia]

"Well if I didn't then you would have insisted on getting up with me." Buba told Justice with a chuckle.


Shougen laughed a bit, "Yeah well this mangy can single handedly stop the dusk!..... ah well Justice helped a little too..." Shougen said with a bit of thought.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Indeed my help was so smal its barely worth noting," Justice said dryly. "and I would have you are still recovering,"


Annie laughed "Single handed with little help from Justice huh?"

 

[Ricia]

"Yep... I carried Justice through a thick of Dusk! Before the bad guy climbed out of the dusk pool and grabbed me!" Shougen started to tell Annie of how they beat the dusk, though he put a little more emphasis of him being more awesome.


Mimi only laughed and Buba shook her head before standing. She pulled out Justice's and Shougen's plate of breakfast before going to heat them up for them. "Annie have you eaten?" Buba asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yeah I ate at the purple fairies shop before coming the one that Tempest captured was not in the best of health but he looks to be recovering poor kid, how are all your fairy after the kidnappings didn't all but one get caught?" she asked after letting Shougen tell his story if he had been a cat she would have pet him and told him he was a good boy.

 

[Ricia]

"Taji. He was the one not to be caught. I personally think it was because of his distance to the fairy. He would not be the first to take a blow for the others... but instead circle back around and take revenge quitely." Buba told her, "There is Victoria. Then new owner of DoS and the hidden bravery of a knight... Kaishiro, the sweetest child i've ever seen and his possession Les... who is less sweet. There is Kasu.. the Vampire childe and Leo... the Invulnerable Zombie. They all fought very bravely.." Buba told Annie before severing two warm plates on the table. "Justice, Shougen... come eat."


"You group sounds wonderfully diverse. Are five fairy harder then one?" Mimi asked.


"Amazingly exhausting.." Buba told Mimi.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I bet... oh I want to meet them, a vampire and a zombie though?" Annie smilled "did you get them a Mika model too?" Annie asked.


"Ah thank you Madame," Justice said he was rather hungry, He went to eat trying not to be overly clingy to the healing witch he didn't hound her about getting up or getting the food.

 

[Ricia]

Buba sat back down next to Annie. Shougen skipped over to eat as well. He was proububly just as hungry as Justice.


Buba smiled a bit, "Yes. And they made the same mistake as you. Her name is Mika as well."


Mimi smiled, "I didn't mind the name. But I think I like Mimi better."


"This Mika... is a lot more violent than you ever were Mimi. Mika has not grown in the most safe environment that you had. Without pre-programing to know what anything is... her development has been a bit estranged. Though she has not done anything horrible bad... so I've not thought about resetting her." Buba said.


Mimi could disagree with Buba, but downcasted her eyes.


"Ah they are all good kids." Shougen said mouth full of food.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Shougen you may be a demon but must you talk with a ful mouth?" Justice asked.


Annie smiled "I love Mimi she is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. She even gets me out of tight spots a lot of the time. I bet now with this Tempest gone Mika will get to learn new less violent things,"

 

[Ricia]

Mimi smiled, "I couldn't imagine a life more bright than what I spend with you Annie." Mimi told her.


Shougen looked to Justice before sticking his tongue out at him with a tongue full of food.


"I think I remember why I liked you more as a cat..." Buba said with slight annoyance.
