(((huh?)))


Animus tilted his head when he heard the word Destroyer but shook it off andlooked to the graves. He smiled, "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Blade... Its such a pleasure to finally meet you both. Your son is such an awesome guy... hes been taking care of me practically the moment we met." He approached the graves and crouched to be eye level. Animus looked back to Aaron and then back to the graves. "I brought you both a present... it may not be much but i hope you will like it.Its the least i could do to thank you for bringing Aaron into the world." He pulled out the object and unwrapped it, inside was a glass rose,he set it between the graves carefully. He gulped, "If it hadnt been for you both... i wouldve never met Aaron... He and i wouldve never met... and id still be stuck in the situation i was trapped in. You see Mr. and Mrs. Blade,"he paused and teared up, "in the process of saving me... your son has stolen something of mine. Something that i never knew i could lose." he stopped and shook from the nervousness... it was time and he was afraid.

     Aaron glanced over at Animus. He looked at the rose and his eyes watered. He stood.

Animus hugged himself to stop shaking, "my heart..." he was too scared to look Aaron in the face. Did he hate him now? He couldnt stand it. he wanted to crawl away and be forgotten. His voice was shaky, "and i hope.... maybe someday... he might have the same feelings..."

     Aaron slid out of his stupor to look at at Animus from his position on the ground, his arms hanging from his knees. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to think either.
     Animus...loved him?
     What a way to let Aaron know, right in front of his parents' graves.
     "Ani..." Aaron whispered, tearing up. He covered his eyes with a hand, thinking. About everything. About nothing. A million emotions rolled through him, and the emotional instantly caused by just being there wasn't helping.
     "I...I'm...th-this is..." Aaron sighed, them stood up with his head bowed. He sniffed. "This is such a terrible day for rain..."
     The skies were filled with naught but the odd leaf and the sun though...

Ray wandered about town, getting odd looks from the various people. Mostly because he had just reapplied ritual markings to his face and arms. The obsidian necklace dangled from his neck.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus sniffled and looked up, "but there isn't any clouds... I'm sorry im so sorry... I didn't know how else to say it." He stood and turned to Aaron and placed a hand on his cheek, "Aaron... is it okay... if you hug me?" he tried his best to not cry, an audible gulp was heard as he swallowed down the knot in his throat

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "No...it's raining." Aaron lifted his muzzle to the sky. There were dark wet patches beneath his eyes.
     "We should get someplace dry...look at me. I'm sopping wet...we'll stay at my master's. It's just down the road."
     Aaron turned and shuffled away, feeling numb. In front of his parents like that...animus really was interesting. Aaron smiled humourlessly. He was feeling too much to be able to feel anything; to distinguish. It was almost a relief. Everything could be dealt with later.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray wandered aimlessly, and bumped lightly into Aaron as he passed. He spoke quickly. "S-Sorry!"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

(((Ray? Aaron and Ani are in the next town, past the city. Did you follow us a few hundred kilometres? Hehe - Enigir)))

[Rayleonarde]

((He's wandering, so...I guess he did, yeah.))

[Babydoll Animis]

Ani stood there and bit his lower lip to stop himself from sobbing or crying out. He didnt care if there was someone nearby, he felt like hed just betrayed Aaron. The wet patches under his eyes, Animus stood in the cemetery while he let Aaron wander away. "im sorry..." he said it over and over again and fell to his knees. "you must hate me now... but its okay... its... okay." His head hung down.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron shuffled to the door and knocked on it limply. The door swung inwards...and a bear of a fur reached out, grabbed Aaron by the throat and hurled him across the street!
     Aaron clutched his head and leaned away from the house he had hit.
     "Ita..." He gurgled.

     ...

     "Hello." A female voice, soft and light - and with very little tonal change - greeted animus. A white furred little wolf girl with golden eyes stared half-lidded at Animus.
     "Are you Aaron's friend?" She asked with a tilted head.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus looked to the girl and gasped, startled by the girl, he gulped and nodded, "i w-was.. i mean am..." he looked to the ground, "oh i dont know"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Hmm." She laughed with a tiny tilted smile.
     "Then perhaps you desire more of the boy than merely his company? Oh don't look at me like that. Young love is so sweet. But if that isn't the case, you should really push for your place in Aaron's heart. You see, since is parents died he never had any friends. His heart has turned to stone. And yet I feel
As though it's broken open recently. Tell me: who are you?"
     A chill wind blew leaves through the little girl's long silver hair. Her voice was light but the way she used it seemed beyond the capabilities of a child.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus looked up at the girl, his own golden eyes apparent as well as a light blush in his cheeks, "m-my name is Animus Shiro... i go to the same school as Aaron... " he realised Aaron had gone off, "oh no... whered he go?"
He sighed then looked bck to the wolf girl, "If you dont mind my asking... who are you?"
