[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan looked down at Talison softly.

"Baby, I don't know why you look alike, but no. She's not gonna take you away from me....from us..."

Siobhan nodded.
"Yes....I'm gonna be your mama now..."

She took Ashtyn from Silvana, and nodded to them.
"Could one of you girls open the door for mama?"[/font]

[Wind]

Rain grabbed the door and Silvanis grabbed Ashtyn's feet, She helped Siobhan carry Ashtyn inside and Silana said " So, Sio do you need any help I know Rain and Silvanis are hungry maybe both of us could fix the three girls somethin to eat?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan laid Ashtyn on the couch and wiped her brow.

"Yeah, sure. I can cook something. You look after the others, mmkay?"

She walked over to the kitchen and opened the pantry.
"What would you girls like to eat?"

She looked at Rain and held out some food items.[/font]

[Wind]

The girls yelled and said " Mac and Cheese!!! Mac and Cheese!!!!!!!" Rain pointed at a jar of applesauce and smiled up at Sio Silana said " Rain would like some applesauce and the others woud like mac and cheese... would yu mind if I had some mac and cheese too?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan nodded, smiling, and opened the can of applesauce, poured a small amount into a glass bowl, and placed a small spoon in it, handing it to Rain.

"Wait for me, okay hon?"

She started up the pot and began to boil the water.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico walked in yawning. He had fallen behind on the trek home due to his lack of energy, and wanted nothing more then to sleep. For a very long time. He shoved the door shut behind him as he walked in, so slowly that it almost didn't close. He peaked his silver head into the kitchen, sniffed, then moaned.

"Oh, you're making that thing. That muss of a food with the...powdery cheese."

Unico couldn't hide his disgust. He may not have enjoyed his previous home, but its culinary cuisine had left him a snob in that department. He shook his head as he shambled up the oh-so-familiar stairs.

"Never mind, I won't be dining anyway. My pillow beckons to me, and I am unable to resist..."

He somehow managed to make his way to his room, even though his vision was just a blurry haze. He had decided earlier he would change into proper sleeping clothes, but the temptation of such a soft bed was to much. He crawled onto it, and curled up into his elegant pillows. He mumbled with dry gasps as he faded off into a beautiful slumber.

"Bother, this is the last time I walk such a distance...."

((OOC: Not sure if this makes sense, but Uni's a wimp. See? Simply walking makes him ill.. Uh, yeah.. >.> ))

[Wind]

Talison ran up and said " I am gonna go check on Uncle Unico..." She ran up to Unico's room and said " Are you okay Uncle Uni?"

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico opened one eye to Talison. He was aware who was talking, even though he couldn't see her. Since he had been resting on top of his hand, he waved the fingers at her, as if to demonstrate he was "well". He sneered his words as he groaned groggily.

"No, I'm perfectly fine, Talison. I just am unaccustomed to... strenuous activities." He closed his eyes as he shifted back into a comfortable position. His tone faded as he spoke, dragging him back into the rest he so longed for.

"--when I wake, you can introduce me to your new friends."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan ignored him, and pulled out the pasta and the shredded cheese from the refrigerator.

The water began boiling, and after a little while, the meal was done. She spooned it out into different bowls, small enough for the kids, and two larger ones for Silana and herself.

She looked at the three girls and nodded.
"You guys can go ahead and say the blessing, I'll go back to get Tali, okay?"

She ran upstairs, and saw Unico laying on his very ornate bed. She walked over, and picked up Talison, her long hair spilling over her shoulder.

"S-sorry, Uni. We'll leave now."

She bowed slightly, and started to leave his room.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

"Wait a moment, Siobhan."

Unico leaned up, stretching. He shook his head as he fumbled clumsily off his bed.

"Its silly trying to rest now. Siobhan, who are the girls? Will not their homes be looking for them?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]"These are the unadoptable ones from the other orphanage. I wanted to take them in. They'll be my responsibility, not yours. Therefore, you can go ahead and walk about as you please."

She nodded curtly, with Talison on her hip, and walked out the door.

Once she started downstairs, she finally realized something.
"Aww...I can't put my hair in the long braid anymore....crap."

((OOC: I had to throw something semi-comical/off-the-wall in there. My apologies))[/font]

Talison looked at her mama and said " Mama you can have my princess wig... I dyed it pink a little while ago but it's still pretty..." Rain came up and tapped Sio on the shoulder to show that she was done with her food and she gestured to show the others were done too

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan chuckled quietly, and ruffled Talison's hair.
"Aww, baby, I appreciate that. Mama will just have to live with her new, short hair, huh?"

She kissed Talison's head and looked at Rain.
"Okay, baby. I'll gather the dishes up in a few minutes."

She ruffled Rain's hair much in the same way she did Talison's.
"Why don't you pick out a game to play? In the living room, there's a cabinet of board games that I'll think you'd like to play. Guess what? There's even a princess one!"

She smiled warmly, hoping to see the happiness in the small, tortured girl's eyes...[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico mumbled as he slid off the bed, wrapping his hand around the ornate pole for support.

"Siobhan was rather cold... She shouldn't even be doing labour now, she needs to rest."

As he walked out his door and down the hall, he glared at the ceiling, annoyed.

"-not that she'd listen to me." On his way down to the bottom floor, Unico stopped to empty the dirty laundry baskets that where resting in the corner. Because of the events that took place earlier, so much seemed neglected.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan walked all the way downstairs, and put Talison down.
"Baby, can you show Rain where the games are? I'd appreciate some help from my little girl!"

Suddenly feeling completely drained, she watched them for a few seconds, then gathered up all the dishes, putting them in the dishwasher.

She walked into the living room after starting the dishes, and laid down on the couch, again watching the girls.
She could feel her eyelids slowly getting heavier and heavier...until she saw nothing but her dream.[/font]

[Kung_Fu_Master]

OOC: Um, Erin, can we have a layout of the house cause there something I wan't Jericho to do but I need to know how easy(or hard) it is to get there. If it's not to much trouble.

[Wind]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan walked all the way downstairs, and put Talison down.

Talison watched her mama fall asleep and said to the other girls " please be quiet my mama is sleeping..." the other girls nodded and Talison said " wanna go find uncle unico or uncl Jericho.." The other nodded and they left the room and Talison bumped into Unico with the laundry baskets and said " wanna play with us.."

[Nami]

OOC: OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I is soooo dead... >->;;; what the heck has happened?!

[Kung_Fu_Master]

OOC: Well, first of all Jericho is waiting for Kisho to leave. After that, nothing more than everyone cooling down.

[Nami]

OOC: Thank you Kung Fu dood! XD

IC: Kisho glanced at Jericho and then stood up, "Okay, if you want to be left alone..." he turned and went back into the house, "poor kid..." he muttered and headed toward his room.

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico had been ignoring the children, weaving in out around them. He had decided prior that he would avoid conversations with those half his age. This was probably one of the reasons he was slightly relieved to sight Kisho coming to his room. Almost dropping his load, he was barely able to resume his bored persona by the time Kisho drew closer.

"Kisho, may I speak to you? It will only take a mere moment." Unico let the pile of dirty clothes fall to the ground carelessly. He was more concerned that no one else was around.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan tossed and turned on the couch restlessly, then her crystalline-coloured eyes slowly opened.

She sat up, clutching her head from the violent bloodrush, then looked around at the girls playing with the games.
Watching them closely, she noticed that one of the girls....oh, Rain was her name, acted somewhat funnily towards the other girls.

She was about to go over to her, when she heard Unico saying something to Kisho. One of the good things about being a cat Anichi was that her hearing was superb....[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho blinked calmly at Unico and watched the clothes fall with a raised brow, "Uh.. okay I guess. Come on in." he opened his bedroom door, revealing the same dark room that it always was. "What's up?" he asked.

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico looked around Kisho's room, paying close attention to details. He shook his head, his tone flat with him.

"-Its not something we have to hide to discuss. I just want to have your opinion on a certain matter..."

Unico's eyes watched Kisho, trying to decide if he was even paying attention. Finally, he flicked his hair back with a wave of his hand and spoke, his eyes closed.

"In your own humble view, do you think using our transformation powers for our own gains, such as money, is... wrong?"

After a short pause he added: "-hypothetically, of course."

[Nami]

Kisho stared at Unico for a very long time, "Well, "hypothetically" I would say it depends on how you are getting the money with the transformation." Kisho shrugged.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan's curiosity got the best of her. Sadly, she didn't remember a tried-and-true fable : 'Curiosity killed the cat...'.

She slid along the wall, and waited just to the left of the door, to where no one could see her.
Pressing her ear to the wall, she listened intently.

OOC: Lol, Sio's so nosy.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

"Why would that matter?"

Unico started biting his long fingernails, preoccupied. He'd glance over at Kisho, then to his hand.

"-If you were given the opportunity to use our curses for profit, would you? That's basically what I long to hear."

He folded his arms over his chest, reasoning aloud.

"I mean, they must be worth something..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan bit her lip. She so longed to answer with her own reply, but no one was supposed to know that she was there.
She finally gave up, and walked to the stairs. She stepped on them normally, making sure that Kisho and Unico heard them, then began walking past Kisho's door to her own room, waving at the two males on the way.

She opened the door to her room, it still smelling of iron, then walked over to the mirror in her room.
She shrieked quietly, herself forgetting that her hair was cut, and thinking for a few minutes that there was someone else in her room, but she calmed down.

"...I look ugly now. Ech, this dress....I can't believe that he touched me....and exactly where did he...."
She shuddered at this disturbing thought.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho stared at Unico and judged Unico's body language. Then he decided to answer as casually as he could, with a shrug he replied; "Perhaps they are worth something..."

With a sigh he ran a hand through his black and orange hair, "if I had the opportunity and I needed the money for any reason, I would." Kisho walked to the door of his room and waved as Sio walked by, then closed it and leaned against it looking at Unico from underneath his dark bangs.

"Why do you ask?"

[Nami]

OOC:...I killed it! *sobs in a corner* that's what happens when I post!! Wah!!
