Into the Stars

[Ricia]

"Defeat.... I don't know. Deal some real damage to them, yes.... yes they can." Shougen said.


Taji look instred, "So your saying... Victoria could possibly be able to protect us now?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"i'm the fragile one next to Kaishiro," Victoria rebuttled.


"will we get weapons eventually?" Kasu asked

 

[Ricia]

"Maybe? I don't know. What do you want me to tell you? Your travels will take you so many places... eventually you might find something you like. Anything you find it yours to keep. Buba won't take it unless she deems it way to dangerous." Shougen said.


"Thats neat.... I can't wait to start traveling..." Leo said. Taji nodded, "Yeah... it will be hard work and diffrent."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"as long as they are not too dangerous... like she is making Victoria keep her dagger here," Kasu said "thank you Shougen I now think there is hope after all against the dusk,"

 

[Ricia]

"The small fry are easy to run from.... they should be all you run into." Shougen said.


They eventually got up to the Mirror room and cleaned the rest of the floor. "There... its done." Leo said with a smile.


Taji let out a sigh, his arms felt like jello.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu sat up and looked at their work "not to bad," he said.

 

[Ricia]

Leo smiled, "I'm going to go watch my hands." He said before leaving the Mirror room.


Taji watched him go before looking at his own hands, "This sucks..." He then looked to Victoria's dagger, which was still white colored currently.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"what its all clean we just need to fix the hole," Victoria said


"thats right i forgot she told you to do that," Kasu said

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah but we actually need stuff to do that... so we'll have to do that tomorrow..." Taji said leaning back and breathing out.


"So has the thing even talked to you?" He asked Victoria.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Dos is not a thing," Victoria told him. "but they are quiet right now,"


Kasu chuckled "you struck a sore spot."

 

[Ricia]

"Already... shes had the... dagger." He corrected before he said thing, "For like 4 hours..." Taji said.


"So I have a real question for you guys." Shougen said looking over them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu and Victoria looked at Shougen.

 

[Ricia]

"Has anyone bothered to ask Leo is hes ok?" He said looking over them. "You've all been busy blaming yourself, and Leo has only been busy taking care of everyone else." Shougen said making an observation.


Taji wondered, it really was a question he should consider...

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I have let leo close to me in hopes I can take his burdon he's the kind of guy if you ask him head on he'll say I'm fine with a smile and an optomistic attitude," Kasu said he still watche Leo rather religiously even now that he wasn't infatuated.

 

[Ricia]

"Have you ever asked him?" Shougen said, "Sometimes the action is worth a lot... even if he doesn't want to talk... I would know, since you asked me that one night." Shougen said.


"I'll ask him later..." Taji said standing up, "I need to get changed.. maybe a bath..." He said with a stretch.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu looked a bit shocked at Shougen.


"KAsu actually asked someone if they were ok?" Victoria asked.

 

[Ricia]

"Yeah. It was a rough night for me. Truth is I am Buba's familiar by force. I'm not here because I want to be." Shougen said. "That night she made me do soothing I didn't partially want to do, but she needed my help." he shrugged, "It happens."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"your wish is to be free of Buba," Kasu said softly more to himself then Shougen.

 

[Ricia]

"I can't hurt a fly right now. This collar sucks out all my power, makes me as weak as... well a cat." Shougen said walking out of the room, seemed like he was done talking about it.


"Now I want to know why..." Taji said. "Why would she enslave him. I wounder if there is a reason."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu looked at him "he was strong very strong but so is Buba it has to be another reason Shougen do you mind us asking?"

 

[Ricia]

"I'm a outlaw. I killed countless of people because I can and did many bad things. Happy?" Shougen said before turning the corner and leaving the room.


Taji was a little more then speechless, Leo apeared a moment later, his hair was wet so it looked like his just took a bad. "Did.... did I hear that right?" Leo asked confused.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"no," Kasu said "Leo... lets go wash again," Kasu said standing.

 

[Ricia]

"N-no?" Leo said, though he blushed self concious of thinking of seeing Kasu naked.


Taji followed them mostly because he actually said he was going to take a bath. He needed it. Though he was a bit shocked too.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes," Kasu sai again he had not thought this through not with Taji too.

 

[Ricia]

Leo smiled, "Did... you just want to get a drink instead?" Leo suggested after a moment, "I was thinking chocolate milk."


"You should just drink the milk..." Taji told Leo.


"But the chacolate is good..." Leo complained lightly.
