Into the Stars

[Ricia]

Taji just raised an eye brow at Victoira. "I am not going to act differently then I am now. That is that. I won't be mean to her either..."


"Don't worry, we will have a date regiment by the end of the week. Hopfully it will be the perfect date!" Leo said. '

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yeah if Taji doesn't act as col and detatched as Kasu," Victoria sighed.


"I am not detatched," Kasu said defencivly.

 

[Ricia]

Leo chuckled mostly because Victoria was right, "You have to admit, they both hang around more often.


"Its not like I avoid you guys or anything. Not like Kasu does. I am not a jerk either. Like Kasu." Taji said, however Taji was obviously being a jerk to.. Kasu. Mostly because the boy made him mad the other day.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am not a jerk! I am honest and straightforward you however are a stereotypical jock dumb @ss," Kasu said "you have no tact,"


Kaishiro shrunk away from the group he did not like the direction this was headed.

 

[Ricia]

"You can be honest and straightforward in much nicer ways. You are too stuck up to even open up to people. You pretty much think everyone if bellow you, huh?" Taji said sitting in the chair and folding his arms. 4


Leo put his hands up, "Come on now you two... there is no reason to fight like this."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You know nothing about me I fought tooth and nail for everything I have! I take care of what's left of my family single handedly what do you have to do Taji study and run around?" KAsu stood an abruptly left the room.

 

[Ricia]

Taji huffed and leaned back in the chair, his arms still crossed.


Leo watched him go and sighed, he proububly should give him a bit by himself to cool down. Taji looked like he was still fuming as well.


"I'll go see if Kasu is ok a bit later." Leo said.


"Who cares? You think he would give anyone else the same treatment?" Taji said glaring at Leo.


Leo shrunk away a bit, "Maybe not... but that won't stop me.."


"Kaishiro is cowering in the corner again." Mika said pointing at the boy.


"Oh.. Kaishiro, come here, its ok I promise." Leo said going to go pick him off the ground.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"you are both so childish and inconsiderate," Victoria said she went to help Leo with Kaishiro whe was just covering his ears curled up in a ball Leo's efforts to move him did little.

 

[Ricia]

Leo tried to get Kaishiro to look at him, "Kaishiro... Hey.." He tried to pull his hands on his ears so he can hear him, "Hey.. its ok now. I promise." Leo said. Mika also leaned down and tried to mimic Leo, patting Kaishiro on the back, "Kaishiro, its ok... its ok." She said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro latched onto Leo and was crying "Kaishiro is sorry Kaishiro's sorry," somehow the boy seemed to think everything was his fault.

 

[Ricia]

"There is no reason to be sorry... you didn't do anything wrong." Leo said petting him.


Taji sighed and stood up before sitting down next to him, "Kaishiro, Kasu and I are not mad at you... we are just man at each other... you didn't do anything wrong, I promise."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Why is Taji and Kasu mad? KAishiro tries hard to be good... nobody gets mad if Kaishiro is good," KAishiro said

 

[Ricia]

"Because Kasu and I are not friends. But we are friends right? SO that means we are not mad at you, ok?" Taji said, he did feel bad... Victoria was right that he didn't think about Kaishiro, he forgot how skittish she was.


"Go ahead and hug Taji.. I am going to go see if Kasu is ok.." Leo said patting Kaishiro's head.

 

[InsaneTruth]

KAishiro latched onto Taji burying his face into Taji's shirt "Kaishiro is sorry," he said but more softly sounding less desperate and alot less scared.


Kasu was outside sitting in the grass phone in hand texting it seemed he looked a bit desheveled.

 

[Ricia]

Leo came over to him, "Hey... mind if I sit with you?" He asked.


Taji sighed and pat Kaishiro gently, "You have nothing to apologize for ok?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kaishiro hugged him around the waist clinging like he would to Leo.


"You can, I'm checking on my sister is all," Kasu said.

 

[Ricia]

Leo sat down next to him, though he was quite, wondering how best to even approach the situation. Maybe... he shouldn't talk about it at all. "You sound like a good brother." Leo said with a small smile.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Not really," KAsu said

 

[Ricia]

"Mind if I ask why you say that..." Leo asked, more so permission. He knew Kasu didn't want to talk to him, he made it clear a few days ago.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I try not to get too involved... I caused a fire when we were little and... she got hurt it's my fault. A good brother would not be able to say such things."

 

[Ricia]

"I... doesn't sound like you did it on purpose.." Leo told Kasu softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Doesn't mean i did not, neglegance is not innocence," Kasu told him "this is a sore subject for me Leo."

 

[Ricia]

"I'm sorry. I'll drop it. You can talk to me though.. when ever you just need to talk. I just wanted to make sure you were ok." Leo said, he quietly put a hand on Kasu's shoulder and smiled at him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thank you," Kasu said "it actually means alot to me,"

 

[Ricia]

Leo actually beamed when Kasu said that, but he knew better then to push for more. "I always wondered what it would be like having little siblings... honestly Kaishiro and Mika make me feel like they are my little sisters sometimes."
