Alana got up and went back to her dorm. She laid down and went to sleep. It had been a long day and she was tired. In her dreams a voice repeated in her head for her to kill Kage. Over and over she heard it. She slept soundly.

Tabitha kept her eyes on the ground sure she was going to trip on something. In her concentration she ran smack into a tree, with a hiss she fell onto her ass. "owww" she complained but she knew there wasnt anyone around that could help her. "okay i dont seem to have hit the tree very hard, so hopefully ill be fine" she coaxed herself ignoring the pulsing comming from her forehead.

Alana woke up unable to sleep. She turned into a cat and took off to Kari and Kages room. She climbed into there window and curled up next to Kage in a ball. She purred and muffined his tummy as she waited for him to notice her. SHe figured it would look better if he was caught sleeping with a cat rather than a human.

Kari giggled in her sleep as Alana entered, twisting towards her slightly. She whimpered, then however, and gripped her head as she rolled over. She mumbled something about cold and heat as she gripped the bed sheets. She said nothing else, growing still once more in her fevered dream.





Kage shifted, half snoring in his sleep. As he heard Alana pad in and jump up on his belly he didn’t quite wake but even in his dreams he recognized her. “Alana…” he whispered happily, thinking he was just dreaming it and falling back into sleep. He then however gripped her in a hug and turned over, holding her like a teddy bear as he slept a little longer.






The cat being not a physical being twitched its ear, seeing death and Ai. It tilted its head to the side and pounced closer, looking up at Ai. Someone wouldn’t like this…but who… Oh it couldn’t remember. So instead it simply got closer to watch.

Alana got up and transformed back into herself. She grabbed Kage and pulled him onto her lap. SHe hugged him close to her and gave him a kiss. She couldnt sleep. somthing was wrong. She felt an odd feeling and was having thoughts that scared her. SHe didnt know what to do. She sighed and sat there watching Kage.

Kage whimpered as she transformed and pulled free, reaching like a child for a teddy bear. As she pulled him into her lap however, he nuzzled closer into it and wrapped his arm around her waist. He was starting to get closer to waking but he’d always been a deep sleeper…and Kari a light sleeper .






Find his body… hmmm… that stirred the cat’s curiosity. It was bored anyway. It turned, sniffing the air before getting down into the grass like it was chasing a mouse. It watched Ai, getting ready to follow him. It grinned a little, well much as a cat can, seeming excited by adventure. As Ai held out hsi hand it leaped at it, poucning and placing its paws on his hand and smiling up at him.

Standing up Tabitha swayed on her feet, "oh, okay maybe im not-so-fine" her vision blurred and she slid to the ground, a low moan escaped from her. she shivered, 'well i cant die, at least i HOPE i cant....' she thought, she smiled to herself grimly. "well at least no one will remember me" she said but her words sounded like they were mushed together.

Alana heard the voices in her head again. She pulled out the little dagger she kept with her.

"Kill him kill him now while you have the chance."

They wouldnt shut up. She put the dagger back in her boot. SHe wouldnt do it.

"DO it like a good girl. Kill Kage. He is useless."

No she told herself. She loved him so much she couldnt do such a thing.

Ai smiled softly, "Well it seems we both have a mission, no?"

Oh geez...how long has it been since I've written anything for Akuma?

Akuma found himself walking through the forest, slowly of course. When he noticed a shape huddled near a tree though, well that piqued his curiosity. When he saw it was Tabitha though he hurried to her side...to see her unconcious. Akuma's brow knit together before he shook his head and picked her up.

Tabitha felt light suddenly, "am i dying" she said aloud again she couldnt understand what she was saying. She felt a shiver go through her again. she reasoned she wasnt dying because she could distinctly feel a pulsing pain in her forehead. she started struggling when her small fists met a hoodie she gasped and her eyes shot open. she still couldnt see but she had a feeling she knew who had her.

Akuma grunted when one of Tabitha's fists connected, and almost laughed at her question. He shook his head before holding her closer, it was a cold night and he doubted that she was warm in what she was wearing.

(...anyone notice how the plotline seems to always be nightime? Or is it just me?)

(u noticed that to huh?)

Kage woke slowly a moment, stretching one arm as he gripped her tightly. He nuzzled her slightly, still not fully awake. He began to sit up, yawning and running a hand through his now ghost white hair. He looked at his hand then and seemed confused, only now remembering the prior night. “ALANA” he gasped out, till he realized she was right next to him. He blushed faintly and looked towards her. “Errr…morning.






The cat then showed itself capable of human speech as it shook its head and announced excitedly, “No…an adventure!!!!” The cat then leaned forward and licked his hand before bouncing around him in a small circle. “I bet I can find your body before you do!” It giggled then began to run forward, going the right direction through some instinct it didn’t understand.

Alana smiled at him

"Good morning Kage." SHe gave him a kiss.

She closed her eyes and willed the voices in her head to go away and leave her alone. But the same thing kept popping up "Kill him now"

(btw forgot to mention when she is given a command by a demon it will stay with her until she fullfills it or until the demon is killed. Hence the voices in her head)

"Look Ive got to go. It would be best if you just stayed away from me for a while." She got up and headed for the door tears falling down her face.

(o the drama It never ends and school hasent even started yet)

Ai raised an eyebrow at the cat's behavior before following it at a slower pace, "Adventure...huh?" The cat reminded him of someone...though he couldn't quite place the thought.

(lol actually it has. Apparently all of us are just cutting...multiple classes...btw what happened to everybody else? They all...disappeared. O - O)

Tabitha growled alittle and then shivered again, she tried pushing herself out of the mans arms, but then she gave up, she was freezing and she had to admit she was warm where she was. she winced as a sharp pain made itself known. 'where is this guy taking me?' she wondered and almost said her question out loud.


(did it start in the day time?)

Tabitha felt herself being dropped onto something softish, where am i, she tried looking around but the same blurriness was in the way of her seeing anything. she curled into a little ball not quite sure what was going to become of her "i was better off in the woods" she whispered, all she could make out of it was 'i'

Embara looked towards Kari, and reached out a hand to touch her forehead. As the sunlight came streaming in, her eyes widen. "Oh..!" She got up and ran to the bathroom, grabbing a towel and running cold water under it. She quickly walked back in the double bed room and placed it on Karis' forehead. After that she went to kitchen to grab a bowl full of cold water. Dipping her hands in, she placed her hands over Karis face and watched as the water dripped. Moving her hand slightly to make it reach the other side of her face. Removing the think blanket ontop of Kari, leaving a thin one.

She looked up to Alana come in as a cat. When did she leave? Titling her head for a moment before sitting on the bed in the back. She curled herself but not too close around Kari. Often she would re-wet the towel.

( I'd rather not miss school, so lets say its starts today, or tomorrow. )

Kari shivered, whimpering a moment only to relax beneath the cool cloth. She felt ..so strange. It was like a nightmare only hot and without images. the Halfling then felt Embara lay close, her arm reaching out to grip the others hand. She began to tremble, her powers accidentally sending to Em the sounds of clashing swords and the feeling of burning fire….She gripped her tighter, not letting go.





W…why. Alana…” Kage trailed off, standing slowly. He seemed heartbroken and yet… eh did not seem surprised. He was a pessimist ultimately and it trapped him now. He assumed not that the voice stayed with her, and simply that passion….as it was want to do, had faded. His dark eyes lowered and he suppressed a sigh.






Slow poke!!!” It sang, still more hopping from place to place then running. It shook its head, and laughing merrily moved faster. It flicked its tail, playfully doing a cart wheel. Being made of pure light had its uses yes?

Alana stopped at the door and looked at him tearfully "I swear I love you kage its just the voices wont stop. Im afraid I might hurt you."

She took off down the hall and found a bench outside to sit down in the sunshine. School started today and she didnt care about it anymore. She couldnt figure out what to do. SHe just wanted the voices to stop.

"Get back there and finish him off. hes weak it will be easy."

Leave me alone she told them. She knew they wouldnt stop they never did.
