Kaida was at a loss for words at that point as she just stared off at where Deks had left. She blinked slowly thinking, Wh, what just happened? She wasn't used to anything like that and a part of her wanted to find Shin. She wasn't comfortable with how she was acting so she was tempted to find him to attack him and at least get something back to normal.

A female yelled not far from them and honestly the Princess didn't hear it, but Miki did. The dragon's head snapped to the source of the sound as she stared at the girl. I wonder if Deks realizes that he is one that could claim my hand, she thought slowly.

Miki wasn't about to wait for her rider's reaction on this one; the human that had yelled up to them had caught her attention. Folding her wings up the dragon dove towards the tree and the tiny human standing on it. Kaida just ket staring at Deks' fading form and took her a while to realize that the dragon had stopped her decent and was hovering next to a tree.

"Uh, hi?" Kaida asked as she shot Miki a look. She didn't know why she was talking to this girl, she hadn't even known she was there. She focused on the girl at this point, though she wasn't really what was swarming through the princess's mind.

Kaida sucked in a breath real quick from the words that Nene spoke. She had heard very little of this girl but what she had heard didn't cause her to expect this. Who was she to say who she did and did not like? Her jaw was squared off and open slightly but it was obvious that her thoughts and Miki's weren't meeting up though they were connected. The princess wasn't sure was to say or do at this point; she had told herself that she wasn't going to get married and leave her kingdom but now this? She couldn't like a guy, that was crazy.

Miki on the other hand was loving this, and yet at the same time just getting more wound up. She spun a quick circle, her head remaining in place as she watched Nene. Her long serpent tongue lashed from her mouth and drug itself across Nene's form at the suggestion of racing the 'angel'.

With that done the creature quickly took off once again, leaving the water princess to whatever it was she had been doing. Bolting through the sky Miki was making up lost time in chasing the male. He was still within eyesight, just like all the parents below them. She roared as the male became larger and larger within her view.

"Miki," Kaida warned but of course the dragon was enjoying herself too much. Her chest puffed up again and the princess heard a familiar click within the dragon's jaws. Fire started swirling out between teeth before the beast opened its jaws and sent another blast of fire at the wind prince.

Kaida was just thinking about answering Deks when his grasp was gone from her body. Her eyes widened slighlty but not because of the fall but because she knew how Miki would react to it. While the princess was caught off guard by hitting the ground with a soft thud, a sound became very prominent in her ears; Miki growling.

Her blue eyes instantly snapped to the dragon. Miki had quickly looked down and went to dive after her master when she noticed the ground. She landed rather than dived, but her eyes locked right back onto Deks. This isn't good, Kaida thought as she watched the dragon's wings fold down and closer to her body. Miki's claws began to cut through the ground.

"You probably shouldn't have done that," Kaida said as she rolled her eyes to look up at the winged male. Just as she did that Miki shoved off the ground sending her much larger body into the wind prince's. She wasn't going for blood, at least not yet. She was protecting her princess at this point; her rider and companion.

Her taloned fingers wrapped around the male as much as they could seeing as how small he was. Her hind legs were planted once again as she raised up. Her wings stretched out in a form of territorial display as she growled. Her neck was crooned only slightly as her eyes narrowed, staring at the man.

"Left? What do you mean?" Kaida asked as she looked around; everything still looked the same so she wasn't too sure what he was getting at. Miki on the other hand still wasn't very happy as she plopped herself onto the ground. Wrapping her tail around her body, her wings folding to her back, the dragon kept an eye on the two.

"And why would my father be furious that I am spending time with a possible suiter?" She then rolled her eyes as she propped up her leg, crossing it over her knee causing Deks to lose his pillow. She leaned back a bit so that most of her weight was on her hands that were propping her up; she wasn't so sure about all this anymore. Well to say that meant that she was sure at one point, which she hadn't been.

"Oh and if I really wanted to catch you on fire, you'd be ash," Kaida then replied in a stark tone as her eyes rolled to look at the laying male. She was buiding her wall back up again, just as it always was. She didn't like people being so familiar with her, at least people that weren't family. Yet she didn't know why she was doing it; it wasn't like he had done anything. The only thing that the princess could come up with was what Nene, the water princess, had said.

"Oh, well if that's the case. Feel free to light me on fire my lovely Miki." Walking over to the dragon, he squatted down before her mouth so he would be in perfect roasting range. "Just try not to burn my hair entirely off. I hate the bald look."

With his knees bent, Deks bobbed up and down some. More or less bounced to ease his nerves which were starting to kick in. Does she really find me that repulsive? Reaching out his hand, he stroked Miki's nose. Oh Miki, whatever am I to do? Maybe having you burn me to a crisp will get the gods off my back. I mean if I die I obviously can't rule. Hmmm, brilliant idea! Now how do I piss a full grown dragon off? It should be a surprise attack so walking up to her and yanking her tall is a no go. Hmmmm.

His eyes shifted about until they landed on the prize. Bingo. Sitting there now, he slowly become one with the wind and vanished. Out of sight, the male crept his way closer to the intended victim of his plot. His hands reached out and wrapped there way around the backside of a rounded object. Gazing into eyes of blue, Deks leaned forward and placed an unexpected kiss on Kaida's lips.

Kissing the master ought to kill me, right? As he thought, he completely forgot that he was already preoccupying himself with Kaida's lips. Oh shit. I'm still kissing her. Ummm, what do I do now? I mean I could stop, but I still don't feel myself on fire. Oh great, Miki must have fallen asleep. Gah! I'm still kissing her. Okay Deks, relax. Just move backwards. ...or not. Just let... ahhh forget it!

His two-toned eyes finally closed as he broke the gaze and the kiss with Kaida. Stepping back so Kaida would be unaffected by flames, Deks peeked over his shoulder. Well, it was nice knowing you both.

----------

((Oh Deks, what a helpless idiot. XD))

((Awwww it was sooo cute XD))

Miki's eyes narrowed at the silver haired male when he approached her. She wasn't growling, not yet anyway. He seemed preoccupied with something though the dragon couldn't figure it out. He was gone the next second though and she didn't see a reason to care though she picked her head up. He must have been planning something, or at least that was what she was convinced of. His reappearance caused the dragon to jump up, not so much from what he had done but what he was currently doing. Miki's eyes widened as she looked from the man to Kaida; back and forth for a little while as she tried to figure out what she was supposed to do.

Kaida on the other hand had no idea where all this talk was coming from. He was going up to Miki and she knew that in this state that wasn't the best idea. He was talking about how he just wanted her to do, apparently he wasn't really getting what the princess had been saying. Yet he was talking to the dragon at one second and he was gone the next.

She sat up quickly to try and figure out where he could have gone; though she didn't have to look far seeing as she felt someone close to her, as in really close. By the time her eyes were able to focus on what was in front of her, a soft pair of lips met hers. Kaida's eyes widened instantly, though they were still fighting to make out what was in front of her. By the time she could, she saw Deks a little closer than she would have expected.

He's the one kissing you smart one! She yelled at herself though she didn't find herself pulling away or shoving the male off like he normally would have. Her eyes even softened, her eyes lids lowering but only slightly. Knock it off Kaida! This isn't for you, she tried to tell herself but that did nothing to help the matter.

Deks finally pulled away, his eyes still catchin her gaze. It was like she couldn't see just how beautiful up until that point. Her brain was lagging, but when he stepped back Kaida jumped to her feet. Miki didn't move though seeing as it looked like her princess could handle this one. "Why did you do that?" She asked as her hands flexed. She was willing the fire to come but all it did was lick about and swirl around her leather gauntlets. Her eyes were slightly wide as her breathing picked up a bit though she was trying to keep herself calm.

((Oh, you know. The usual thing my characters do. Trying to kill himself. XD))

----------

"Hmmm, this is strange." He looked around. "How come I'm still alive?" He stepped closer to Kaida. "Hmmm, maybe I kissed you wrong." He paced back and forth a bit. "Or maybe..." his eyes became narrow little slits "you liked it."

As the words rolled off his tongue, his eyes suddenly widened. "What! No, no, no, no, no. You can't possibly like me! I-I-I-I... no." Walking backwards, Deks tripped over Miki's tail. "Erm, a... a... Miki and I. We're ummm, getting married. Yeah, can't have you in the picture. Sorry princess. I mean you're sexy and all, I mean ummm, so my type, erm. I meant not my type. And you're... ummmm... dull?"

Flopping his head down in defeat, Deks raised his hands as if he were being held at gun point. "You win." Collapsing to the earth, Deks rested there just looking up at the princess. "Feel free to have Miki eat me. I think it is just a glorious way to die."

Laughing to himself, Deks' eyes fell back onto Kaida. "How can someone like Kaida not be the goddess of all gods? She's charming, strong... beautiful. Everything about her falls under the dictionary term for goddess. Well, if not goddess than princess. Although I can't quite wrap my mind around the feeling that there is still much more to her than I'd ever get to see. More to her mesmerizing smile and stunning eyes. Hell, there is probably more to this girl than that warrior attitude she wears. Perhaps she's different on the inside but has been unable to show the world her softer side for she fears others might see her as weak just as they see me as weak." His forehead wrinkled. "I don't get you." Sitting up, he took her hand in his own. "I quit trying. I'll just accept you for who you are with no strings attached."

Deks' eyes suddenly widened. "Oh god. I... I've been talking aloud this whole time haven't I?" Blushing now, he turned away. "Ummm, yeah, you weren't supposed to hear that. Guess I'll be going now. See ya!" Taking a large step away from Kaida, he picked up a leaf and put it over his head. "Deks isn't here. I'm just a leaf on a silver pole. Ignore me as you normally would." Oh god, I'm an idiot. I should have just run off when I first had the chance. Now I'm digging myself into a hole that I'll need a dragon to fly outta.

((Hahaha yeah it looks like it XD))

Kaida ran a tongue over her top lip as a dark smile came to her face. So this is how he sees it is it? She thought to herself and from Miki's movements she knew that the dragon was listening to her at this point. The dragon lifted herself off the ground before taking a few steps towards Deks, though not getting too close behind him as to startle him.

As Miki was doing this, Kaida took a few steps up to the male, their bodies only inches a part. "So is that what you think?" She asked as she plucked the leaf from the male's head and dropped it on the ground next to her. The flames were still swirling around her arms, though they weren't at the point that they were dangerout.

"And while I normally would ignore people, those who admit to my clear superiority are not those that I would ignore." Her eyes then traced the male up and down; he was taller than her, a lot taller. At that point though, she felt bigger than him. That wouldn't have been the case but then Deks had realized he had been talking. There were things that he had said that would have caused Kaida to either leave or set him on fire, literally. He didn't seem to realize that though.

His personality seemed to jump around but all that managed to do was intrigue the girl. He wasn't there questioning her or being too formal like Hotaru the Earth Prince had been doing. Not at all, Deks had gotten her away from the group and their parents. The two were so different even though both probably had somewhat similar stories being from royal families and all. She didn't know though, she didn't really know anything about Deks.

((Well, for starters, he's got a split personality. He loves cheese and hates croutons - too crunchy for him. He sometimes wishes he was gay because he could actually go to a mall to have someone professionally do his hair and make it pretty. Oh, he also has a crush on Kaida but he's too stubborn to admit it. There, know she knows everything. XD))

((Haha nice XP You definitly make interesting characters XD))

"But... I... he... gone?" Falling onto the ground, his head rolled back so he could look up at her. His nose was parallel to the ground at this point, only facing upward rather than down. Blinking several times, he finally stood up to tower over the short female.

Deks placed a hand on the side of her neck and slowly pulled her in. "What does it matter what I think, princess? Unless you too find me... worthy enough to converse with. Have a... relationship with. But relationships can go one of three ways. Friendship. Lover. Or hater. Now seeing that you've not threatened me nor burn me to a crisp, I'd say we'd fall into one of the first two. But which, well... ha ha, my princess, that's for you to decide."

Turning on the balls of his feet, Deks started walking away. When he noticed she wasn't following, he shook his head. "Aren't you coming? Or must I walk back over there and kidnap you myself?" His eyes immediately shot to Miki. "And by kidnap I mean sweep off her feet and carry her away to whatever adventures lay ahead of us."

----------

((I bet it has something to do with how bizarre I am. My friends can't figure me out. One minute I'm over there, the next I'm licking the floor, and then a second later I'm telling them I like cheese. X3))

((Hmm, we should wait for the others XP In the meantime we could work on OSB, AUCH, or our private RP XD))

((Oh yes, cuz the others are going to come break up the dysfunctional couple. XP))

((Haha yeah XP But get your butt to those other roleplays XD))

Amethyst smiled softly. "I will have to stop by the kingdom sometime. If those storms are as amazing as you say they are I'm sure not to be disappointed." She said with a grin. Looking at the horses she nodded. "Yes, looks are deceaving but she is a good horse none the less." She said then laughed. "I suppose it's best if you put your own horse in the stalls then?" She asked a joke knowing the answer.

"Good you should you never know. Also have someone taste your wine he's good with poison." She warned him meaning it but saying it jokingly. "Pretty good specially when they decided to help another fight me. I've had my best guesses be after a fight, mock or not. Its easy, you get to see the true fire in their eyes. And their reasons for fighting just reveal themselves. Opening a door way to the soul..but if your paying to much attention to the eyes and not enough to the sword..." She shrugged as if it ended her thought.

"Oh don't worry I'll come and see them I never turn down an offer to get out of that dingy, mildew smelling, rock castle." She said with a laugh as she shook her head. She hardly complained about her home since she was hardly there. "Hey affectionate is better then those jelouse creatures. They only hang around with people to do them favors. Its like politics you scratch my back I'll scratch yours." She said simply before laughing again. "Probably but you know you can always run faster than them since your not weighed down." She pointed out before laughing again. "Oh don't worry about forgetting I was sent a message with pain of death written on it and that's the only reason I remembered." She stated feeling eyes on her again she frowned and turned around shooing her dad's gaze with her own. "I get so annoyed with parents." She said simply looking at Leo.



Shin smiled and nodded. "Yet, I'm sure if you asked they'd tell you what they needed. Listening has to make them happier." He said softly looking at the tree. "So they have souls just like everything else. Kind of makes me feel bad for eating plants." He said frowning some.

Vladimir had watched his daughter and then walked off to see if he could spot his son on the horizon. He sighed wondering where on earth that boy was.


((Sorry I started work and forgot about this one. *dies* Sorry))

"Well i didn't get to know the first girl i met well enough to say but i like the second one far better." Hotaru said to her as he picked and apple up and handed it to her, he then he picked up another one and began to eat it. Once the draft had finished eatting the apple that she had held out to him, he walked off and moved about, eatting some of the other apples that were on the ground. Hotaru chuckled at the horse, running a hand through his nblack hair as he looked Katie over before he looked at his sister and smiled, seeing as she was getting a long well with the fire prince.

"Everything has a soul. And the plants that we eat are just the ones that are okay with dying after all every thing is part of a cycle and they know thier place in that cycle. Like when plants get set on fire they don't take it to heart, just that it happened for a reason and they grow back fuller, freasher and with more room to breathe. No harm is really done to them." Hopi-rose said to him as she smiled softly to him, finally relaxing completely, letting her hand drop from the tree trunk as she watched him smile at her. She played with a strand of hair, before she reached out and brushed his bangs to the side, making it so that she could see his eyes better. She bit her lip sligthly, blushing as she turnned her face away from as if a plant had caught her attention.

Smiling lightly Amethyst nodded. She was looking forward to seeing the water kingdom. Placing her hands behind her back she nodded. "As does yours. He looks much calmer than what you say. Then again so does mine." She said with a smile.

Laughing at Leo Amethyst nodded. Then she thought for a moment. "Kind, and calm. Forgetful...and friendly." She said truthfully telling him what she saw and then shrugged. "Could be wrong though. I'm never sure." She added with a soft yawn. This day was going so slowly

"Sounds like my reasons for going." She said with a laugh. Then he bowed a little and she laughed a little harder. "Very nice." She said simply. Amethyst Rain kept from saying Aww again. "They sound harmless almost." She said simply keeping her voice from squeeking a little. She laughed a little. "Try? My father does rule every part of our lives. Down to which hair pin a stick in my hair because everyone doesn't dare say anything against him. Specially my mother." She said simply


Shin grinned. "Well that makes me feel a little better I suppose. I'll pray for a happy veggie afterlife for them." He said being serious. Looking up for a second as she brushed his bangs out of his face he blushed slightly and blinked. "Thank you, I can't ever get them to stay out of the way." He said simply. "And I look laughable when I cut my hair shorter or grow it out longer." He admitted lightly. He tried to follow her gaze but it wasn't to anything in particular. Blinking he noticed a slight red to her cheeks.

"Well everything is different close up." She commented simply before nodding. "She does, but only if they are in a common stall. If they try to pamper her or anything, like braiding her hair," She shivered some. "Its one strong kick to the gut." She infromed with a slight shrug. "I've brushed her a few times I like to but normally I'm to busy fighting the micro manegment." She said laughing. "I should never be to busy to spend time with her though, so I always make sure to come down and talk to her." She informed.


"Oh yeah! Got one that's a bonus." Amethyst said with a laugh. Before laughing harder. "My father is like that but I've learned to mellow down through the years. Plus you haven't seen me angry I can be a horrible." She said with a sigh. "Imagination! I love people who can still day dream or play with children, tell stories. All of which come from imagination." Amethyst Rain said with a grin laughing some.

She smiled and nodded. "I love them even more already. They aren't definceless or anything like that. And they sound adorable. They're like the perfect companion." She said before nodding lightly. "Yes he's always like that. I find his annoying influence every where no matter how far from my kingdom I am. Its less so in the towns near the boarders but still." She said with a sigh. "Yeah no kidding right." She added.
