Welcome home. (Arael/open)

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

(Ooc: Anyone can AFTER Arael posts)

After a little bit of a journey from Lightning tower they were finally here at Bleeding Mansion. Home sweet home.

"Well this is it. You're free to pick any room here so long as it isn't occupied the third floor isn't completed yet so I'd suggest either the second or bottom floors."

Rai looked back to Ari to see how she was doing.

[Arael Hiroshi]

Arael looked around her with wide eyes. Until this moment, she had, in the back of her mind, doubted Rai when he said that the mansion was made of his blood. She had thought he meant it metaphorically. Not so! The mansion was truly made from his blood.

Arael looked to Rai and said. "Hmm. You really weren't kidding when you said blood mansion, but why is it black, not red? Oh, and I'll explore a bit before I pick a room, if that's ok?"

[Hone]

Zax walked out of his room yawning and stretching his arms. "Good morning, Ra-" he stopped.
When he saw the new guest, he dropped his jaw and this song started playing in his head. "Ho-ly cow! She's even better than Rose!" he thought.
But, remembering what had happened with Rose, he didn't wanna show what was going on in his head.
So he shook out of it, closed his jaw, and said, "Hey how are you doing?" and held his hand out like any other person. "I'm Zax," he said with a smile.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

"Ah yes, surprised you didn't ask earlier. Its actually a mutation from eating a fruit that my uncle grew, it improves a persons qi, or gives them new abilities, sometimes though it has side effects, luckly my side effect was only that my blood turned black, and it hardens after leaving my body. Though I consider that a benefit. And that won't be a problem at all."

Rai smiled as he answered her questions then he saw Zax staring stupidly at her.

"Good Morning? Near as I can tell its evening, have you been sleeping when you were suppose to be training?"

Rai walked towards Zax as he spoke with a look in his eye that suggested Zax had better have a REALLY good explanation as to why he was training. Then as he was standing right in front of Zax he leaned forward a little bit and spoke only loud enough for Zax could hear.

"She is our guest and if you have any plans to stop your training to try to pursue something more than friendship with her... Well lets just say, don't drop focus on you training."

Then Rai turned around walking back to Ari with a smile on his face trying not to laugh because he knew that Zax would be sitting there terrified thinking that Rai meant every word he just said.

"Zax here is one of the three, excuse me four now including you, people that live in this mansion. Though he is one of the two that I am training to be part of my Dragon corps when I'm strong enough to be named."

[Arael Hiroshi]

"Ah, ok. That's interesting.". Arael said. Then the new person stumbled slightly out of one of the rooms. It was quick, but Ari saw his jaw drop. Oh boy. Here we go again.. She thought to herself.

"Hey, how are you doing? I'm Zax." He said, holding out his hand to shake. Before Ari started walking over to shake his hand, Rai was over there whispering to Zax. When Rai backed off, Zax had his hand still in the air, but with a slight look of terror on his face. Arael chuckled quietly to herself at his look, but then decided to be nice and at least introduce herself.

"Hi Zax." She said when she shook his hand. "My name is Arael, Ari for short."

She looked over to where Rai was standing. "So who else lives here?" She asked.

[Hone]

When Rai came over, he was terrified. "Sir yes, sir," he thought. But that all completely vanished when he thought he heard the faintest little girl chuckle coming from the guest. "SHE LAUGHED!!!!" Zax thought as a smile came on his face.

Then he saw her shake his hand. All the fireworks in the world started going off in his head and the song came back. "Nice to meet you Ari. Extremely nice," he thought, "That is a lovely name," he said even though he didn't really care what her name was.

"Oh and to answer your question the other person that lives here, sorry you had to come, all though not really," he thought to himself, "is the most annoying person in the world. Her names Yachiru. And NEVER call her anything that has to do with the words 'small' or 'little'. She is vicious. It doesn't look like it at first but SHE IS."

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

For no apparent reason Koshiro was sitting in the shadows out of sight during the whole conversation, watching everything.....including the jaw drop. "Really dude? ......." he thought to himself.

He had been leaning against this wall waiting for Rai. He had met Arael before. She was nice.
As he stood there he realized maybe this place was better than the Bar for talking/ getting to know the new girl. He was looking forward to finishing training with the crows, so he could join this bunch.

He stepped forward, Rai probably already knew he was there anyway.....It WAS Rai after all.

"Ari. How are you? Enjoying life since we fought the thugs I hope." He winked at Zax, just to provoke him. Nothing more.

"Rai." He said with much respect as he nodded his head toward him.

"Zax.....You shouldn't talk about Yachiru like that." He leaned toward Zax and un-clipped his sword. "Remember cat and mouse?"

He laughed and then stood leaning back against a wall.

[Yachiru]

Yachiru peaked out of behind Rai's back.

"Oh heya Ari! My name's Yachiru and i live here with Rai-Rai aswell." She said smiling brightly as ever.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Yachiru!" Koshiro said surpised.
"I brought you some candy from the bar......" He reached into his bag and ruffled around for a minute then pulled out a large bag of candy (60 oz) and handed it to Yachiru.

"Don't eat it all at....Oh who am I kidding, go nuts!" He said with a smile.

[Hone]

"OH NO!!!!!! THE TWO MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE ARE BOTH HERE!!!" Zax yelled in his head. "That's her!" he said as he pointed to Yachiru and hid behind Ari.
"And he his just a taller and older male version of her," he said as he pointed to Koshiro. He stuck his tongue out to the wink of Koshiro. Then he made a bone come out his wrist to the side of Ari (short enough she wouldn't see) and made the words 'she's mine, Koshiro!'.

[Arael Hiroshi]

Ari smiled politely at Zax. "Thank you." She said to him. Oh boy. This one is gonna be a handful. She thought to herself. "Yachiru. That's an interesting name as well. Very unique." She said.

"Ari. How are you?" Koshiro said as he stepped from the shadows. Arael whipped her head aroumd quickly. "Oh! Hey Koshiro! I'm doing alright. How are you doing?" She asked.

Suddenly a small girl popped her head up over Rai's shoulder. "Oh heya Ari!" She said. "My name is Yachiru and I live here with Rai-Rai as well." "Well hiya Yachiru! It's nice to meet you too. Ari replied.

Arael's head was spinning with all the new names and faces she had meet today.

[Hone]

Zax couldn't believe how happy Ari was in front of Yachiru. From behind Ari's shoulder he said, "Hello, Satan," as he narrowed his eyes at Yachiru.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

He ignored the qi gesture from Zax and the "She's mine" aswell.

"I'm doing very well, making sure Rai is taking care of you." He said jokingly
As Zax insulted Yachiru he would grab his sword (Sheathed of course!) and *Thwack* Zax across the back of the head.

[Yachiru]

as if koshiro's wasn't enough.

*thwack*

[Hone]

"AHH!" Zax said as he took the thwaps. "See," Zax said to Ari as he rubbed his head and ducked back behind her.
