Welcome home. (Arael/open)

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Hey....."He whispered to Ari.
"Thwack the kid. He's fun to smack around. We're all pretty sure he has brain damage. We're......fixing it.....yeah...." he leaned right up to her ear so only she could hear him.

"Truth is we're just messing with the kid. He is kind of annoying, and he picks on Yachiru, so she smacks him around. I like the kids, I'm just a little more rough with Zax."

He laughed and then looked at Zax.

"George been around lately?" Koshiro had a sad look in his eye as he asked.

[Arael Hiroshi]

"Hmm..." Arael said as Zax hid behind her. She turned her head and told him. "As I see it, you insulted Yachiru first, and she retaliated. Another thing. If Koshiro is a older version of her, then she can't be too terribly bad. Koshiro did help me out of a tough spot earlier." She then nodded her head towards Koshiro.

When Koshiro whispered in her ear. She looked at him quizzically. Then she smiled back at him and whispered. "I'll wait until he really annoys me. Which probably won't take long.

[Hone]

"No. George is still sleeping outside," he said to Koshiro's question.

Zax nodded his head in regretted agreement and rolled his eyes as Ari told him about Koshiro. "Oh, and by the way Ari, George is my friend. He's kind of annoying sometimes, but- George! It's about time you woke up! How'd you sleep? This is Ari," Zax said to what looked like empty air in the doorway. "Careful, he sees people that aren't there," he whispered to Ari.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro burst out laughing when she finished whispering

"I love this girl! Ha!"
When Zax said something about George that sad look returned to his face and he looked at Ari shaking his head slightly.

[Arael Hiroshi]

When Zax started talkimg to this George person, Arael was slightly confused. There was no-one else here that she could see. Who was he talking to? Then he introduces her... to thin air. "Careful, he sees people that aren't there." Zax said. Arael's eyebrows drew together in a look of confusion.

She looked at where he had gestured, looked back at him, looked back at the spot, then looked over to Rai and Koshiro. Seeing no help from them, she plastered a smile on her face, turned back to the spot, and said,"Hi, George... Um, how are you?"

Honestly, 'cause Arael was a nice person and all she could deal with imaginary people, but this was really pushing her limits as to how much weird she could handle. Even though she had had a great power nap at the lightning tower, she was still extremely tired from her fights that day and it was starting to show.

[Hone]

Zax shot an angry look at Koshiro when he heard the words 'love this girl'.

Then there was no sound except Zax saying "Nice to hear it!" when Ari asked George how he was doing.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro leaned in to whisper in Ari's ear again, but at the odd angle it would look to Zax like he was about to kiss her.

"George isn't real ,Arael. Thatvwas the brain damage part......sorry. should have been more specific."

( ooc: Yeah. Just to mess mess with ol' Zaxxy.)


Koshiro walked over to the chair and set a hand out.....just to make sure he wasn't the.....crazy one.

[Hone]

Zax would make a bone come out of his wrist at the sight of almost kissing her and it would go straight for the side of Koshiro's face!

(OOC: That's what you get for messing with him! Bring it!)

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai had just sat off to the side he acknowlegded Koshiro as he came out of the shadows with a look that stated, Wondering when you were gonna come out and play. But aside from that he sat back as the introductions went under way. He even let Koshiro and Zax have their young jealousy bout, but now it was enough. Rai reached out and grabbed the bone out of the air easily and crushed it in his hands.

"Thats enough."

He didn't raise his voice but there was enough authority in his tone that suggested that be the end, or else. Rai grabbed Koshiro by the shirt and pulled him over beside Zax who he grabbed by the shirt as well and planted them both in front of him, and with a smile that Koshiro had only seen once before when they first met Malakai he spoke to them.

"Now now, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt in my place of residence... it might be good for you two to just go and cool off for a bit yeah?"

THWACK, THWACK.

He knocked them both aside the heads.

"Stay right THERE and don't move until I tell you too, understood?!"

Rai waited for their compliance and if they tried to argue Rai would glare at them until they backed down. Then he walked back over to the girls.

"I'm sorry bout that. Anyways, we have another guest here as well his name is Malakai, he is Koshiro's father, but he is... Preoccupied at the moment and you will see him later, I'm sure, hanging around. But I know you're tired that nap earlier was hardly enough rest."

Then Rai looked at Yachiru.

"I've got a special mission for you, take Ari here and show her round the mansion and when she has found a room help her with anything else she might need. When you're done you can do as you wish, the boys and I have some... Training to do..."

Rai said those last words looking back at the two with a look of dark humor in his eye.

"Anyways, Ari, it was nice meeting you we can talk more when you're rested to see what you would like to do with your new life here in Cali, and what options you have to pursue those goals. If you need me for any reason just knock three times on the wall beside your bed and I will be there shortly."

With that Rai stood off the side with his arms making a motion towards the door that would say all that needed to be said. Welcome home.

[Arael Hiroshi]

Arael listened to Koshiro when he explained about George, then replied in another whisper. "I figured that, but I also figured that I ought to be nice and at least pretend to see him. Wouldn't want the poor boy to think he was crazy now would I?"

Arael watched as Koshiro walked over to the chair to prove there was no-one there, and then saw what looked like bone shoot from Zax's wrist! She still hadn't gotten used to this... Qi thing. Her face at this point was a mix of surprise, confusion... and more surprise. Then to see Rai crush the bone like a soda can, that just showed how impressively strong he was. So when the two guys got their heads knocked together, Arael felt sorry for the both of them. Unless they had heads of steel that was gonna hurt!

"Malakai, another interesting name. Well I guess I'll meet him tomorrow. It was nice to meet you too, and thank you again for bring me here. It's nice to feel like part of a family again, even a crazy one such as this." She smiled, then covered her mouth as she yawned wide enough to hear her jaw pop.

"Well Yachiru." She said as she turned toward the girl, "I think I need to start exploring, or I'm gonna fall down and sleep right here." Only half joking when she said it.

[Yachiru]

"I've got a special mission for you, take Ari here and show her round the mansion and when she has found a room help her with anything else she might need. When you're done you can do as you wish, the boys and I have some... Training to do..."

When Yachiru heard this she was already three-quarters of the way THROUGH the bag of candy that koshiro had given her. If Rai was looking he could notice and the sound of his voice when Yachiru looked at him her pupils shrunk down to almost nonexistant. Time started to go by really slowly.

Why is everyone talking so slow? Oh look! That spot wasn't there before! She looked at a spot on the cieling right behind rai's head. How curious... I wonder if Koshiro Has any more candy...

"Well Yachiru" 'Wow she is talking really slow, and why so low pitched' "I think i need to start exploring, or I'm gonna fall down and sleep right here."

At those words Yachiru's eyes grew abosoluetly massive. "Explore? I can help you do that? Falling asleep here take some candy, i got lots of candy and you can have some if you want it could help you wake up all you need is candy! candy is good for the soul! candy is candy! oh my...wait until you see..." with that her words cut off mid sentance, that damn spot behind Rai's head was bugging the hell out of her.

Yachiru formed a high speed Qi ball and jumped on top of it and used it to fly over everyone to stare at the spot on the ceiling close up. realized it was nothing, then flew back down to her normal spot in front of Ari. "Well i'm ready to show you around, let's go try and keep up!" Yachiru sped down the hallway at and extremely fast speed , she waived backwards to the rest of the group and right as she put her hand down... *WHAM* right into the wall.

[Hone]

Zax would kind of groan after Rai had them sit down. "This is all your fault!" he would whisper to Koshiro.

When Ari left Zax would pipe up and go "Bye Ari!" with a smile on his face and a wave.

Then when Yachiru ran into the wall, he couldn't hold it in. He exploded with laughter!

He just hoped Rai wouldn't notice.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro jumped up just long enough`to feel bad, he wanted to help her, but didn't want Rai to kill him.......
"Yachiru! Are you alright???" He said ignoring Zax.

He sat back down really quickly before Rai saw him....He was just hoping Rai was looking through his bad eyes right now.

He looked at Ari with a more serious look than ever.

"Ari. Don't go near Malakai. Don't talk to him, don't try and make friends. If Rai doesn't force you, don't even meet him. Take it from the guy who grew up with that monster. He's bad news."

(As soon as the subject changes again, he will go back to normal as if Malakai was never mentioned.)

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai just shook his head at Yachiru, knowing full and well what Koshiro had done to her by giving her that much candy. AND, unfortunately for Zax and Koshiro both, Rai did notice their outburst. To which he turned and looked at them.

"Oh I didn't forget about you guys, follow me. We won't want to interrupt our new guest as she rests up."

As Rai walked by both of them he would grab them by their shoulders so they would follow him whether they wanted to or not.

(Ooc: Zax, Koshiro we're bout to have new thread. Ari, Yachiru feel free to continue posting in this one as though the three of us have left.)

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro would follow Rai willingly. Weather he had a hold on him or not.
