"Oi, Oni..." Dante groaned before moving up onto his knees on the counter. He looked like a wounded puppy; this wasn't better! This was worse! He looked away for a long moment, trying to think of something, but... but... what? He'd never dealt with children before. His idea of love was so 2-D. He closed his eyes, struggling for a bit before sighing and placing a hand on Oni's shoulder. "You should bathe after Ice Cream, okay? It will help you relax."

"Okay," he said just wanting to please Dante. "I don't need Ice Cream so I can just take a bath," he added knowing Dante didn't like him to eat sweet sugary stuff. Maybe if he didn't eat the ice cream Dante wouldn't be displeased with him anymore. He asked, "W-will Dante come with me. I don't want to be alone."

Hito was glad she had agreed and pulled out a brown paper wrapped item. He had gotten her some new wraps that not only were functional but were embroidered to add a little extra something. He had gotten three various ones hoping she would like them. He handed her the gift and said, "Here you are my lady."

"Oni..." Dante gave Oni a bit of a pout before smiling to the boy. "Don't try and make me happy. Right now, I want you happy. Act a bit selfish, alright?" He looked down for a moment before nodded meakly. "Ah, sure... I'll come with you. I told you I wouldn't leave you alone."

[[i only am coming in long enough to say, i miss you all and i won't be on the next couple days even though i have them off because i'm hella sick Dx]]

Oni tried not to cry while he said, "But I want to make Dante happy. If you're happy you won't leave me alone. I-I'm just scared Dante." It was true. The first time they had come for him had been scary but he had not been hurt or taken to the facility.

He sniffled not wanting to cry and said, "Is it really okay for me to eat some Ice Cream?"

((feel better shaddow ))

((awww poor kit cat *hugs*))


Amoni opened them slowly, her eyes wandering over each embroidered pattern. She blushed and made an inner promise to herself…. To wear something ‘normal’ for him…just once. Still she couldn’t help but smile at the beautiful embroidery and trace it with her fingers. She kissed Hito’s cheek gently, saying softly “Thank you….they’re beautiful.” She then wrapped one of the beautiful embroidered wraps around her braid playfully…

"You can have as much as you want!" Dante felt his heart being wrenched and crushed as the boy sniffed and went teary eyed. He wrapped his arms around Oni tight, trying to keep his own smile on. "What makes you think I'd leave you? I promised, Oni. Unless you ask it of me, I won't leave your side. Alright?"

( AKA, Don't you dare have the Orgy show up when I'm not around again! xDDDD )

He asked, "Can I have ice cream with lots of chocolate syrup on it?" Sugar sounded so good right now. "Okay Dante I trust you," he said in a small voice he looked at Dante and gave a tiny smile. He was so glad that Dante was with him. He felt better when his strong friend was near by.

Hito smiled and said, "You're welcome. I also got some snacks for you. I'm not sure if you would like them so I grabbed a few different types. They are in the bag so you can just riffle threw them if you want." He began playing with her hair all the while keeping one ear on the kitchen.

((who is AKA?))

"And sprinkles." Dante grinned at Oni before hopping down from the counter. It was only then, though, that he realized that no matter where he stood... he wouldn't be able to reach the freezer. He looked up at the fridge before looking to Oni. "I'm too short, though. You're going to have to get it yourself..."

( AKA. >O )

Oni smiled a bit more when he said he could have sprinkles too. Oni really liked sprinkles. That made him remember Rain. . .yes Rain. He had put sprinkles on cookies before. He wondered where she was. "I like sprinkles a lot," he said feeling a tiny smidgen better.

When Dante asked for his help it felt good to be useful. He said, "Okay." He went over and opened the fridge getting the vanilla ice cream. He was getting excited. He set the ice cream on the counter and found some spoons and two bowls. He asked Dante, "Do you want some too? It's good." He began to put scoop after scoop into his own bowl while he waited for Dante to answer.

((that really doesn't help ))

( Also Known As. =O )

( And I meant, the post... Dante will always be with Oni. >O AKA, dun have the Orgy attack when I'm not on. xD )

"Mmh, a little bit. I'm not too good with sweets." Dante said with a smile. Oni's mood was lifting. Relief hit him like a wave as he watched the boy. He only hoped that Oni would be back to his old self. He couldn't stand it when he was like this.

Rain left her bedroom with a grin, wearing a long shirt for once beneath her ever present black dress shirt. Though of course…it was still blue and slightly lacy… She lost her grin quickly, however, as she went to check on Oni and found him gone. Gasping she began to run towards the front door only to spot him in the kitchen…awake…

“Oni…You worried me…” Rain said with a grin, slowly sauntering into the kitchen. It was an odd sight, however, as tears of relief were in the corner of her eyes though she blinked them away quickly. She wanted to hug him but felt uncertain as something seemed…off. So instead she simply held out her arms and asked quietly “Can I have a hug?” She then glanced at Dante and gave him a ‘you’re next’ look…


I will soon, I’m not hungry yet… What kind of snacks are they?” Amoni replied with a soft smile. She then held his free hand, closing her eyes. She shivered a little as he played with her hair but grew still quickly. She was comfortable where she was, her ear flickering towards the kitchen…she had missed Hito in the small time he was gone and for a moment that filled the independent woman with uncertainty….Just how dependant on him was she becoming?

(( I know what A.K.A. means but the way you posted it seemed more like a name, lol. No worries I won't have anyone attack if you are not online))

Oni put what he deemed a little bit into Dante's bowl. It was in all terms a good portion but once you looked at Oni's bowl you would see why he thought it was a little bit. Oni's bowl was amost over flowing and the carton near empty. He eagerly went and got chocolate and sprinkles. He added a lot of chocolate and sprinkles making a bit of a mess. Once he noticed the mess he cringed. Dante would not like it if he was messy. "I-I'll clean it," he told him quickly and got a washcloth to clean the mess.

While he was cleaning he heard a voice and whipped his head up with fear in his eyes. He was frozen for a moment when it clicked who this was. This was Rain the sprinkles lady. He stayed silent watching her feeling a little uncertain. He shuffled a little behind Dante and said softly, "H-Hi Rain." He knew she was nice but he still had not found peace yet so he was skittish.

Hito said, "Some are sweets and some are salty snacks that I found. I figured you might like both." He was glad there were more people up and hopefully they would be able to help Oni.

Dante looked to Rain with a 'NO fricken way' expression before watching Oni hide behind him. He felt a twinge of guilt before looking back to Rain. "We'd rather eat Ice Cream right now. Sorry." He grinned weakly before looking up at Oni. "Grab your bowl. I'll clean the mess later, okay? Let's go eat it in the baths!"

( Gotta go soon... )

((Staria I edited above post but his next one will be better))

Oni scoped up his bowl and held it in his hands. He didn't want it to fall over or anything. "Okay Dante that sounds good. . .and funny," he gave another faint smile before going back to his scared look. "I've never eaten in a bath before," he added quietly and followed Dante.

Rain simply grinned at Dante’s no way expression and made it clear she was going to hug him anyway but then glanced back to Oni…her grin failed instantly…she realized the one who had always felt like a little brother to her was scared of her…She glanced away, hiding the heartbroken look she had behind an ivory curtain of hair. “Hey Oni…….have fun in the bath…” She said dully, walking past them both to the refrigerator, keeping her hair hiding her face. She then opened the door and pretended to be looking for something to eat, her back to both of them.


((aww Rainy wants to cry XD))


Amoni nodded slightly, “Oh…I’m sure they’re all good… thank you” She murmured. She glanced towards him then and leaned against him in silence, melting. He felt so good…she didn’t want to get up but instead merely watched his face. She felt special….and she liked that feeling.

((*huggles Rain* awww))

Dante took his bowl before walking up to Rain. "Don't think much of it, Rain..." With that he hurried after Oni, poking the the balls of ice cream with his spoon. He played with it for a bit before looking up at Oni. "How does it taste, Oni?"

(( Yeah XD never thought you'd see her feelings get hurt by Oni did ya lol. *hugs* Oooh eddited in Amoni btw XD. ))

He said, "You're welcome love." When she leaned into him he wrapped his arms around her and asked, "How are holding up with everything that's happened? The thing with the boys and just as importantly what has happened with us?"

Oni was eating as he walked and said to him, "It's really really good. Thanks Dante for letting me eat some." He was liking the idea of eating in the bath more and more.

((short))

As Dante walked behind her and spoke Rain didn’t say a word… still hiding her face. Her only reply was to nod and wave her hand towards the baths. She hated that apparently he saw right through to the pain, she said nothing, however.


Amoni let herself relax as he wrapped an arm around her, leaning her cheek against his shoulder. She let her arm raise to lay across his chest, looking for a moment nothing like the statue she so often seemed. For a moment she half smiled, shrugging her shoulders and opening her eyes to look at him passively. “Do not worry so much….I’m alright. “ Was her only answer. She saw no reason to mention how much she’d missed him while he was gone…. Or why her dependency on him that seemed to be developing scared her…

Dante grinned up at Oni with an 'I'm Glad!' before trying some of his own. He was never a fan of Ice Cream. It tasted fantastic, it just wasn't healthy. But... he could screw his health for a day.

( Go ahead and play Dante? I gotta sleep. D= )

Hito laughed and playfully pinched her nose. "I believe the job of worry wart in this relationship is yours," he said teasingly. He cared for her and knew that things had to be bothering her. If she did not want to talk about it though he wouldn't press the matter.

((I think I'll just have them in the baths for now))

Amoni jumped at the pinch of her nose, but half smiled. Playfully she swatted his hand gently, shrugging at his words. She then responded, “Not when it comes me dear sir, then you seem to worry as bad as an old maid.” She smirked a moment then slowly lay her head back on his shoulder, stroking his chest absently as she stared into space. She knew she was a closed soul, and she knew it was harder on him that way… but some things she didn’t even know how to explain…

Hito just chuckled but he really felt he had reason to be at least a little worried about her. He held her and enjoyed her touch. He said, "I think I could just sit here all day."

((sorry Staria, my brain is dead. Not doing so great at RPing right now))
