Michi

Michi looked up sleepily, being gently roused awake again by him.
"Dante is like my old daddy..."
She curled up, letting the memories fill her. She missed her old life...her parents...her friends, what little she had in her neighborhood.
"Michi misses her dad...."

Dante frowned at her words. They really struck him if anything. He hesitated for a long moment before wrapping one of his arms around the girl. She missed her dad so much- he missed his dad like all Hell. At least he dad gave him freedom of mind before all of those events. After he'd run away from home, the only moment he felt remorse and loss was when he saw that newspaper clipping reporting the forced suicide. His mother had killed his father and herself two months after he'd left home.

He closed his eyes, relaxing a bit himself. "I miss mine too. We'll miss them together, neh?" He smiled to her weakly, wondering what kind of reaction she would have. Tears? Maybe she saw the memory? Or maybe she'd accept and cling to him and fall asleep again? Children were hard to predict.

Michi

Michi nodded and saw Dantes memory in her head.
"Dante lost his daddy too...mean mommy..."
She put her han on his cheek and smiled.
"We miss together...."
She cuddled him close and yawned.

Rain did indeed come around the corner but something seemed……different about her. She didn’t even seem to hear their conversation. She simply held the cat in her arms whom was having a strange seizure. She was holding it close, her sister…. She didn’t look at them…….simply saying dully “Something’s wrong with Lily……” rain didn’t seem to have her usual fire….but Dante might appreciate the quiet.

She held the cat as she sat down, letting out a soft gasp of surprise as Lily shifted to her human form. She finally remembered everything…..even HIM. She finally knew everything and it was doing her no good. She looked down a moment, looking at her faintly smiling sister.






“F…finally….We….we can save them….” Lily whispered softly, her wings laying against the couch as she shivered. She didn’t have much time… she had to tell her all of it. She’d known that the witches’ energy would not sustain her much….not now that Rain remembered him…not now that his spirit would be released to do as it pleased…

Dante huffed as the girl cuddled him again. "Really, you. What did I say about reading other's memories! You're going to hurt yourself again." He placed a hand on the back of her head before looking up at Rain. She looked... out of it. He blinked, watching her carefully before looking to the cat. What was up with that cat anyways? He always saw it around, but other than that, he'd never heard anything.

Then one of the freakiest things know to man happened. The cat became a female- a very naked female. He looked down and covered his eyes irritably. What the Hell was with the peep show!? He sure as Hell didn't appreciate it. He stayed quite on the matter for now. He wasn't needed, after all, and he couldn't care about what the cat-woman-winged thing had to say.

Michi

Michi smiled
"Dante's memories dont hurt...."
She stretched her limbs gently then crawled over to the kitty, watching it change.
"Wrong with Lily?...."
She pouted.
"Lily, whats wrong??"

Rain held her sister closer, reaching up a hand and summoning one of her long silk dress shirts from her hiding place. She lay the shirt over her sister, using it almost like a blanket over her tiny twelve year old body….same age that she died at. Rain closed her eyes at the image that came at the thought, looking up a moment. “Save….who?” she asked quietly….





“N…nothing Michi. It will pass…” Lily lied as she reached out to touch the little girl‘s shoulder, knowing that the witches would protect her from michi’s memory reading… It was needed. If they knew… they might not do what needs to be done… She then looked to Rain, “We need to save the witches….. We need to save you…You kept him buried….but now with your memory…he‘s going to come back….his body is gone but he…he‘s not. “

( NOOOOO! MY CHEWY BAR WAS DESTROYED! D= )

Dante sighed. His memories may not affect her, but they sure as Hell affected him. He didn't like others knowing about that. So far, only Violetta knew about his past, and even then it was in very light detail. He didn't know any of the specifics. He got up and followed after Michi, listening now to the cat-girl's words. "Is 'he' going to start attacking her?" He asked the girl before looking up at Rain with a quirked brow. He had no clue who 'he' was, but Dante had become interested. Maybe it'd during into a battle between mages? He'd love to on look something like that rather than be in the middle of it for once.

Michi

Michi went wide eyed.
"Does she mean the bad man...?"
Remembering going through Rains memeory and seeing a scary man hurting her.
"The one that hurt you..?"

She looked at Dante, nodding as she said softly “All of you….Yes Michi, him….He wants Deirdra….Rain, back. And he wants the body….of one of you so he can live again. He’s holding their souls….you have to finish him….destroy his soul…..” Lily whispered, her breath beginning to flutter softly. “He wants to rebuild……he needs the witches, and Deirdra….” Lily shivered then, feeling a fever rise…

Dante sighed before looking down at little Michi. "Then I'll take care of her." He said softly before looking to Rain. He really hoped she wouldn't run off like a headless chicken for this wizard guy. The heroic 'I'll do it myself' move only worked when you really could do it yourself. AKA, it was reserved for Dante.

"Does er...-" Dante looked to the girl in Rain's lap before looking up at her again. "-she need anything?"

[[>.> -finished reading the majorly distracting book- how is everyone?]]

Chie had drifted asleep on the couch opposite where Dante and Michi were. Well, even age old Atlantians got travel-wearied. Her long blue hair spilled over the couch's arm and her red eyes fluttered open after a bit of dozing. Why? Well because there were new presences in the room. She awoke to see two new girls, one partially naked and her same age (at least appearance wise), setting down near Dante and Michi. Burgundy eyes opened fully now, staring at the odd situation with mild interest as she pushed herself up into a sitting position. Of course she had only arrived this morning, so what the cat girl was saying made so little sense to Chie that is was tempting her to pry. But the other looked so pitiful, so Chie restrained herself... she'd never liked using her telepathy anyway. "You speak as if a demon is coming," the little girl began, staring steadily at the one named Lily. "Speak frankly child, and be precise. I don't want to have to glean the information through less pleasant means..." She could tell the other was very clearly not well, and Chie had no intention to push her... but Chie did not like to be in the middle of anything too complicated - her life itself was more complicated than most, she didn't want more trouble. But what was truly irking her was what manner of creature would disturb such a young child who had so little control of her own powers. And, of course, the young one had wanted to be 'friends' ...heh, though Chie was not quite sure how that would work seeing as the child did not have an eternal life as she did.

[[FINALLY new character bio is finished @[email protected]]]

( Whoot! =D )

Michi

Michi teared up, placing ahnd on Lily's cheek.
"Lily...are you sick?"
She looked up at Rain.
"Make her feel better, you have magic right..?"
The little girl felt helpless. She looked around, desperately.
"Someone?! Someone can fix her right?!"

“Yes… But I don’t know what….” Rain responded sadly, feeling the fever rocketing out of control. It was almost painful to touch her skin at this point but she didn’t care and simply held her shoulder. She then looked at Michi, sighing softly as she blinked tearfully at the other. She whispered softly, “I’ve tried….” And she had… her energy was dangerously low she’d tried so many healing spells but it just wouldn’t work.







Lily took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she felt it coming….soon. “He…He was born a man but became a demon….that’s why his spirit….” Lily trailed off, her eyes widening. A white light flickered over her eyes and then…….then she was gone….






“….Lily….Lily!” Rain called even though she knew from her sister’s dead stare that the girl had died a second time…….a last time. She shook her, feeling the fever finally beginning to fade as the whole body began to take on the chill of death instead. Rain stared, silent tears running down her cheeks in emotion…losing her sister not once but twice…..and this time….this time she didn’t think there would be any coming back.



((*sniff*))

Dante had been about to check the girl's fever, but before he could the girl's eyes rolled into the back of her head. He winced at the sight before frowning and letting his arm drop. He looked back to Michi before swooping her up into his arms. "She needs her rest." He lied to the girl before heading outside. He watched Rain as he left. She really did annoy the Hell out of him, but no one deserved to loose their family like that. They especially didn't need a crowd watching them. For that matter, Michi didn't need to see something like this.

Chie twitched as Michi teared up. I don't want to get involved, she thought firmly, but damn that girl for moving her so close to assisting. She fidgeted when the child began looking around desperately. The dark-haired girl mumbled quietly, "I could rearrange her atomic structure, but that would likely only prolong her life - not technically 'fix' her." Besides I've only ever done such things on humans and Atlantians, never any other species... she finished the thought in her mind. Curse this child for moving her to speak at all; though she had only mumbled quietly to herself really... and yet she would be unable to do anything as the girl's life vanished entirely. Chie blinked calmly, staring at the scene as if it were no different from viewing a field of flowers.

It was difficult to feel sorrow over the loss; particularly when she hadn't even known the girl except in her last moments. "Such things ought not be created, we learned this long ago." She was referring to the dead body before her, of course. In Chie's beginning the Atlantian race had been foolish and tried to play god...it was not something they were meant to toy with. The creations only suffered and died; she realized now they likely despised her race from the bottom of their hearts. Heh, such sins we bear.

Michi

Michi looked up at Dante.
"Lily...sl..sleping?..."
She curled up against him.
"Is she hurt like Oni-san was?...When will she wake up?..."
Michi was thinking of ways she could make Lily feel better. Maybe go on a picnic and bring tuna sammiches.

Dante waited until they were outside to answer. He sighed and looked down at the girl. Would he really lie about something like this? Damn, kids were terrible things. They made you feel guilty for everything when you shouldn't be. "She needs to rest for a long time." Dante sighed. He really didn't want to go out and say it. He'd leave that for later at least. Rain was broken up enough over this to also have to deal with Michi. "What do you mean 'like Oni was'?"

Michi

Michi played with her hair.
"When Oni was sick he slept alot. Rain always looked upset at that too...so, Michi thinks Lily has the same sickyness. Yes?
She smiled.
"So they can fix her like they fixed Oni-san right?"

Dante bit his lip, then groaned and leaned against one of the walls outside. That's what she meant. "No, Michi. She won't wake up..." He sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Michi. She was too ill." And the waterworks would start. He was sure she'd have caught on by now. That girl, Lily was it? She had bit the dust; she was gone. There's be no reversing it.
