Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyrox looked down at Rose as she proposed to him the thought of leaving his home, permanently. He paused and considered it, was living here part of, or all of the reason that he acted out like that? Well, he was a vampire, and he did live in a home of vampires...yea it did make sense for him to retire from here for a little while. Who was to say? He would have Rose with him at least, her innocent soul to keep him in check always. Maybe this could work.

Hmmm, even though we have just met, she seems to be showing the same amount of care for me that I have her...She deserves more than being a slave...more than a servant...A friend maybe. Or something closer... But he would not say. Not yet, not until he felt the time was right. He turned and looked at her face again. It must've taken her a lot of courage to ask him. Kyrox returned a smile to her, to put her mind at ease, and then spoke to her.


"Yes, Rose, your idea sounds great. We can leave here for now, away from all of the busywork and worry this place brings you. You want us to move out for now, right?" He looked at Rose, and she gave a small nod with a slight smile on her face. He smiled too. She really wanted to get out of here, even with him. Maybe that's what he desired too... "Ok then! We can be ready to go by tomorrow!" This statement seemed to brighten her day even more.

"But first...you need a few clothes for the trip. Those you have on now are not for you...You deserve better." As he was still holding her, he gently laid her down on the bed, and pressed a button on the dresser next to it. He spoke a few words into a hidden speaker, and within minutes, maids came in with all types of dresses. Elegant, casual, formal, street, you name it. Rose only needed to pick the ones she wanted, however few or large.

"The maids here will help you choose and try on different clothes. While you do that, i'll be over here getting my own self ready." He went to the other side of the room, where his wardrobe was. He looked back at her one last time to make sure she was alright. Their eyes met gaze for a few seconds, but after that, they both got lost in what they were doing.

They would both be free of the manor by tomorrow.

((( Haha, Yeah. You're right, I did miss the post...no need to criticize though. Tell me I missed it and give me time, my friend. )))

((Well interact with someone somehow))

A burst of bats flew through her face as she would duck or dodge depending on her awareness. The halls seemed haunted aswell as the rust of knights seemed to screech loudly in a deafening tone, as if they started moving. Before she knew it, she was getting slowly surrounded with knights taking zombie steps by step towards her with their brutal medieval weapons.

Meanwhile, Inuneko was resting on his comfy bed, snuggling into the covers and unaware that his castle was active or did he knew, didn't give much a care.

Just as she entered, Inuneko stood there waiting for her to finish "Mm, I can see why I picked you very well.." His arms crossed, he shook his head at the damage she had caused to the relics. It was no matter to him though as he could fix them easily.

"Sorry for them attacking you, they still didn't get used to a new visitor and they felt you were an intruder." Inuneko cracked his knuckles with a tightening of his fist and rose his hand as the knights awakened from their bruises, completely fixing and stood back in their stands.

Frowning at her master, thought he was somewhere in his room. "Well you should train your knights properly then." She said with a huff. She stepped back, she had almost a fealing he was going to punish her for making os much damage. But there wasn't anything to clean up

And besides she was only fighting them out self defense.

The laughter from in the crimson room grew as she counted her 34th bag.

"A-hahahahaha! What a good sell! Over a million in one night! Can you believe it?!" Reva was grinning from ear to ear with maliciousness. "To think such worthless things would fetch such a wonderful price! Hahahaha! Splendid---Splendid indeed..." Her hands fanned out the bills, laying them each in their corresponding piles. Tens, hundreds, thousands and more covered her desk neatly. Jewels and gold lined the remaining spaces and part of the floor. A brisk knock on the door made Reva realize she was not alone and from behind it divulged a tall red-haired man.

"Reva, nothing changed I see..."

"Cross. I see your still as meager and detestable as I remember you." Her words were filled with banter. In a harsher tone she continued "What do you want?"

Cross eyed the room with a look of digust and made his way to her, stepping over the money and jewels in his way.

"I was sent here, its not as if I wanted to see you." His glasses gave off a small glare as he stood directly under the small swinging lamp above. "Its urgent."

Reva's grin twisted upside down. "He needs something---"

"He needs some money Reev.... your next collection is due."

"Alright then how much...."

"1,000,000,000..."

"Hmp. Thats it? As much as I made today, I'll have more then enough for him and of course.... myself...." At the feet of her chair lay the bags from the purchases made today. "This should be enough...." Reva grasped the bags and heaved it at him.

"Hmm..." As keen as he was, Cross began to examine the bags. Coming across the earth-toned sack Kurai had given, he paused.

"Heh. Reva dear... You are short of some funds." A smirk curled on Cross's lips as he tossed the bag back in her lap roughly.

"Ugh--- What do you mean!" The bag was emptied on the table while she spoke. "What the---!!!" Small pebbles and leaves became strewn along with the money and jewels. "That---- that ingrate! Guards!"

"Yes Mistress!"

"You find the were abouts of that woman who purchased Slave ID#88064, name Titto, you get that slave and his owner, by all means nessasary I will get my revenge!!" This was the beginning of Reva's breaking point. Her face was bright red with anger and embarassment. Cross made it no better with his presence.

"Hahaha! Serves you right Reev---" He grins. "But... you make sure to get that money soon... he wants it within a week alright.... heh... I'd hate to be you..." Cross maintained a slow stride out of the room, leaving Reva alone with her frustration.

"Just wait---- I will get you...."

8:49am.

"Mmm---" Kurai's eyes began to open up slowly as her vision focused on the ceiling. "Oww... My back hurts..." The neko ears on her head began to twitch back and forth, as if to test to see if she was healthy enough to move about. Ushi laid beside her, and on her awakening sat up in rejoice.

"Me-REM!" Ushi lept into her slender arms, letting his tail sway behind him.

"Oh... Ushi...." She sighed. "I didn't want water that bad... hehehe..." The hilarity of the previous moment began to kick in and she laughed tenderly, still shook from before.

"Come on Ushi... Let's see what Titto's up to..." Her small foot found refuge near the carpet, and after standing for a minute to check her balance, she was able to walk about again. Down the stairs and towards the living room she went as Kurai spotted Titto dusting around. Thoughts began to spawn in her mind, wondering if he was ok, how long he was cleaning, or how long was she knocked out. Instead of letting her curiosity take over, she simply walked behind him quietly and followed him about until he would look behind himself and spot her.

"Hehehe... how cute..."

"Well now I know some of your capabilities my lady." Inu crossed his arms with a smirk. You've of ranked first in that arena if you were placed among these men, I know that much.

He approached her, raising his hand but then simply caressed her cheek and giggled softly before walking back to his room. Leaving as mysteriously as he appeared in her room.
