+ Scions of the Beast +

[Nami]

Over all the noise and mayhem that had ensued in the morning Kisho wasn't surprised that he could hear it all over his music, he rolled his eyes and opened his door, the baggy jeans he wore had a chain on them that dangled and his shirt was all black. Kisho closed the bedroom door and walked down the steps, he leaned into the kitchen and arched a brow; "Causing trouble again Sio?" he asked calling the girl by her nickname. Kisho ran a slender hand through his black and orange locks. He walked through the kitchen and opened the fridge, blinked and then turned his eyebrows nit together in confusion, "What's that smell?"

Kisho walked over to the pot and looked in, "Hey Sio.. I think this crud is burnin'" he commented dryly and then went back to the open fridge, he glanced toward the table and noted that a cup of orange juice was already sitting there, with a sly grin he walked over and sipped the orange juice from the cup and leaned against the wall with the cup in hand.

"You all should really be more considerate of Anser.. As a dude he has issues about his height and anything else can really upset him." he said glanced at Talison, and then back at Sio and sipped his juice again.

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico walked back into the house. His expression was slightly agitated as he walked into the kitchen. He leaned against the door frame and sighed, pinching the skin between his eyes and nose.

"I can't locate Anser. I'm not worried, I know he'll come back. I just wish everyone could get along..." His eyes focused on Soibhan.. then to Kisho.

"-I see you've finally decided to join us." Unico stepped closer and snatched the cup away with Kisho's grasp.

"I would be nice if you'd leave Tali's drink alone. I poured that for her, not you."

He walked over to the sink and dumped the contents from the glass out.

[Nami]

Kisho watched him snatch the cup, he smirked, "Fear not, Tali didn't seem bugged... and yeah I decided to join you.." he glanced at Sio and then back at Unico, "Leave the kid alone, he will be alright." Kisho said a little bit miffed that Unico had wasted juice.

"Hey, don't just pour things out so carelessly! That's a waste." he said before walking over to the cupboard and getting a cup, he poured himself his own cup of juice and then leaned against the counter, "Honestly Unico, you should watch that attitude, it might get you in trouble someday." Kisho sipped his juice calmly, as if he hadn't just insulted Unico.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan looked at her lap in disappointment. She placed Talison on the couch, and passed by the other two males, nodding at each of them respectfully.

"I'll...be in my room, if anyone needs me. Kisho, if you would turn the stove off, I would appreciate it greatly..." She said quietly.

Siobhan turned towards the staircase, choked down a tear, and dashed up the stairs, almost tripping over her sock-covered feet.
She ran to her aqua bedroom door, opened it, ran inside, and slammed the door, making the sign bang against it.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho blinked and turned off the stove, "Darn it... I can't take it when girls cry." he muttered, "I'll be back." he said to Unico and moved up the steps slowly, he didn't know what had upset her but he wanted to find out, Sio was a nice girl and though she got a little bossy sometimes she never meant to hurt anyone. In a way Kisho believed her job was the hardest, taking care of all the punks in the place."

Kisho rubbed the back of his head and knocked on her bedroom door after a few minutes, "Hey.. Uh.. Sio.. Can I come in?" he asked almost afraid to.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]OOC: I know this might be a sensitive subject, but I believe that for this character, it's how she would take her depression out on herself. When I make characters, I add something wrong in with them so they can overcome it later in the storyline. I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone, but Siobhan ((the way the character developed in my head for the longest time)) has been dealing with this...it's inspired by a very tragic experience with a friend.

IC:
Siobhan hid the box-cutter behind her back, pulled her sleeves down over her scarred wrists, and looked at the door, wanting someone to talk to, but at the same time to be left alone. She sniffed, trying to hide her feelings, and tried to smile.

"Sure, Ki. C-Come in..."[/font]

[Nami]

OOC: I understand ^^

IC: Kisho slowly opened the door and looked in, he stepped inside and closed the door. He glanced at her arms behind her back but didn't say anything about that, "Hey.." he approached her slowly, "I'm sorry if something I said hurt your feelings.. I didn't mean to." he said trying his best to be nice, he had never been good at helping people, but he wanted to help her. "Wanna talk?" he asked waving a hand at the bed.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan shook her head.

"It wasn't something that you did that hurt me, Ki. I just...remembered something that happened a while ago, that's all."

She dropped the box-cutter behind her, brought her arms to her lap, and gestured to the bed.

"C'mon, sit down. W-we can talk.."[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho nodded, though he knew she probably hoped he didn't notice her dropping the box, he had seen her do it. He shrugged it off and sat down. "Listen... is there anything bothering you?" Kisho asked placing his hands behind him for support, "Because you know you can tell me anything." he smiled kindly at Sio.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan nodded, but didn't plaster on a fake smile anymore.

"Ki, if I tell you, will you promise to not laugh or condemn me?"

She looked into his entrancing silver eyes, subconsciously pleading for someone to listen.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico was still in the kitchen, leaning with his back against the counter. He fumed, his arms folded over his chest in an uncomfortable and awkward manner. He hissed to himself as he replayed Kisho's conversation in his head. Each time becoming more and more bitter.

"watch that attitude... I don't have an attitude. Just because no one can do anything right in this house.."

He continued to argue with himself, rattling off all the reasons why he should stay mad at the others. After a long period, he cocked his head, watching the stairs. His anger melted away into curiosity, then to jealousy.

As usual, they go off together and leave me to clean up. Not that its the cleaning up I'm being so petty about...

He walked around the kitchen picking up the scattered remains of breakfast. He grimaced as he dumped Siobhan's grits into a bowl for scraps.

"Ugh. I can't believe she expected us to digest that.."

He brushed his silver hair behind his ears and sighed. In a melodramatic tone:

"OK, so far we have one slightly bruised Tali, a missing Anser, Siobhan is crying for an unknown reason and Kisho is being himself... Everything is perfect."

[Kiba-kun]

"Actually, Anser came back," he said. He was propping himself against the window seal with his elbows, looking into the kitchen. "I wanted to apologize to Siobhan . . . but I guess she left?"

[Wind]

" Hey Unico could I help you clean up like a big girl..." She hopped off the couch and barely reached on the stove pulling the hot pot off the stove all over her leg... She screamed in painful agony

[Nami]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan nodded, but didn't plaster on a fake smile anymore.

"Ki, if I tell you, will you promise to not laugh or condemn me?"

She looked into his entrancing silver eyes, subconsciously pleading for someone to listen.[/font]

Kisho was grateful for her not faking it anymore, he nodded. "I won't laugh, and I would never condemn you Siobhan." he looked her straight in the eyes as he spoke the truth, Kisho saw the pleading look and gently reached out and placed a hand on hers waiting for her to continue. He would listen and he would do everything he could to help her.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]She looked at his hand and closed her eyes, then opened them slowly.

"Have I ever told you about my 'birthmark', or how I got it?"[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico rushed over and seized the pot from Talison. He set it back on the stove quickly, then hoisted Talison up onto the counter. Inspecting her leg, he reached over and grabbed a clean cloth.

"Tali, are you all right? I appreciate your help, but I'd rather you not hurt yourself in the process. Wait here for a second.."

He took the cloth to the fridge and opened the freezer door. Taking out a handful of ice cubes, he wrapped them in the cloth then went back to Talison. He pressed the cloth against her burn, tightly. He held it there as he looked back at Anser.

"-Yes, yes.. She went to her room, and Kisho went after her. I don't have the foggiest idea what's the matter with her, but its not my concern."

Unico shook a bottle of burn spray that had been sitting on the window seal. He lifted the cloth long enough to douse the burn with it, then covered it again. He hissed in an annoyed manner:

"-Besides, Kisho is very good at sticking his nose in other peoples business. I'm positive he'll find out."

Unico's hair had fallen in his eyes while attending to Talison. He brushed it aside with his free hand.

"I don't believe you need to apologize to Siobhan. Its entirely up to you, naturally."

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Jericho was half asleep on the roof were he normaly sleeps. All that happend down in the kitchen had woke him up.

"Why can't they just stay quiet for pete's sake. The world would be much better if we all just kept our mouths shut." He thought to himself.

Just about to go back to sleep he heard a scream. "That was Talison, she's in trouble."

As quickly as possible he flew from the roof down to the Kitchen door.

"What happend? Is everything alright?", He asked loudly. Looking in to the room he saw Unico helping Tali in what just happend and gave a sigh of relief. "For a moment I thought someone finally went mental and attacked someone else, but it was just Tali being a cluts again." He said out loud.

[Wind]

Talison started to cry, " I am sorry... Unico...' She looked at Jericho and said tears coming out her eyes at a rapid rate " You do not have to be a butthead..." She changed into her fox form again and said " Ow.... OW! why do you have to put ice on it... it hurts..."

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico lifted Talison off the counter back onto the ground. He started picking up the mess and sighed at Jericho.

"There can be, if that's what you so long for. Perhaps, against a certain hawk? At least Tali attempts to assist us. Most of the time I can't even find you."

[Kung_Fu_Master]

"I do my part, so leave me alone okay. And, " Mustering up all the strength he had, "I'm sorry Tali." With that he left for the roof again. "Maybe I should be a little nicer Tali and the others.......nay, what am I thinking."

He decided to skip the roof and went flying around to calm his nerves. "Now I'm never going to get to eat till this dies down, and I'm so hungry to."

[Wind]

Talison said " Thank you, Unico..." She limped off to find Siobhan and when she found her she realized that she wasn't alone and said " I am sorry mama...didn't know you had someone in your office..." She started to limp away but said " I was trying to help nico and I burnt myself I wanted to say sorry for being so small..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan rubbed her sleeve over her eyes, and looked at Talison, plastering on another one of her well-practiced fake smiles.

"Baby, you have nothing to be sorry about. Now, Mama doesn't want to sound mean, but she needs a little time with Kisho for a moment. I'll play with you in a bit, mmkay?"

She stood up from the bed, walked over to Tali, gave her a big hug, and ruffled her fur.
"I'm just glad you're alright. Make sure to keep a bandage on it, and ask either me or Unico...scratch that--just ask me to reapply it, okay?"

She walked back over to the bed and sat down, sighing. ...She then noticed that her sleeves slid up when she rubbed her eyes, exposing her scars.
She pushed them down quickly, and hoped that Kisho or Talison hadn't noticed her folly.
"T-T-Talison, you need to leave now! I-I'm very, very sorry, but you don't really need to hear this conversation! It's not fit for such young ears yet!!"[/font]

[Kung_Fu_Master]

"That feels better. Just me, the sky, and God, that's all I need." His stomach growled, "And maybe some food to. Hopefully the kitchen ruckuss has stoped so I can eat."

Jericho flew back down to the kitchen to find Unico and Anser still there. He tries to sneak over to the fridge without being seen so he won't get a nagging from Unico again.

[Kiba-kun]

Anser sighed as he sat at the kitchen table, his little legs dangling over the seat. His ears were still in their wolfish state, Anser enjoyed his half changed form, and his ears twitched as Jericho came into the room but he paid no attention to him.

"Unico . . " he mumbled. He paused, trying to think of something to say, something to break the silence. "Can you . . . tell me why I'm here? In this house?" He looked out the still open window, his left ear flicked again as he longed to be back outside. Being in the company of others, confined into cloths, eating food that tasted burnt. He had been wondering for a long time why he had to live here in this alien environment.

[Nami]

[font="palatino Linotype"]She looked at his hand and closed her eyes, then opened them slowly.

"Have I ever told you about my 'birthmark', or how I got it?"[/font]

Kisho shook his head, "No." he said, Tali entered after that...

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan rubbed her sleeve over her eyes, and looked at Talison, plastering on another one of her well-practiced fake smiles.

"Baby, you have nothing to be sorry about. Now, Mama doesn't want to sound mean, but she needs a little time with Kisho for a moment. I'll play with you in a bit, mmkay?"

"T-T-Talison, you need to leave now! I-I'm very, very sorry, but you don't really need to hear this conversation! It's not fit for such young ears yet!!"[/font]

"You burned yourself? Well, it's a good thing Unico's good at that kind of thing." he shrugged, "Yeah, we were just having a conversation, she'll be down soon k?" Kisho smiled a small smile at he looked at Tali, she was a sweet girl. So was Sio and he was curious.. he wanted to help Sio and if she trusted him enough to tell him something important than he would listen with everything he had and do whatever it took to comfort her.

[Wind]

Kisho shook his head, "No." he said, Tali entered after that...

Talison looked at Kisho and said " Okay uncle Kisho... Thank you for helping mama feel better..." She ran up and gave them both a hug " Thank you for helping me not hurt so bad too okay mama I love you..."She left and found Anser and said " Hi Anser.."

ooc:this is my new character her dog midnight has a cybernetic leg
Adrianna looked up at the house and she collapsed. MIdnight started barking trying to get someone's attention.

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Jericho poured himself some milk and took two apples from the fruit basket. "An apple a day to keep the doctor away. With my regular two a day he should stay away for a long time." He thought to himself.

He didn't really pay attention to Anser and Unico's conversation, in fact he didn't even realize anyone was talking intill Talison came back. He almost dropped everything in his hands just by the sound of her voice, luckly he was able to catch himself before they fell completly, just bearly before any milk was able to leave the glass.

"Her, why did I fall for her?," He thought. "I could of fallen for an older, more muture female but no, it was her." He decided to eat at the counter, he may just like to listen to someone talk for once.

[Wind]

Talison came up and gave Jericho a hug and said " Hi uncle Jeri!!!!" She suddenly Heard a dog barking, " Hey uncle Jeri do you hear the dog barking...?"

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Jericho face turned bright red at Tali's action, good thing he shallowed the apple bite before hand. "T-T-Tali, stop calling me uncle, I'm near the same age as you.", but she didn't listen.

" Hey uncle Jeri do you hear a dog barking...?"

"A dog?" He listened very hard intill he did. "Yah, but there's no dogs around here, and anser is the only dog anichi around and he ain't barking."

[Wind]

" Well, Jeri come on let's go investigate....." She grabbed his arm and tugged him out onto the porch and then she saw the dog with the metal leg " Look a doggy..."

Adrianna looked up and reached out to Jericho and said ' pleas help me..."
