Oni felt a little wave of pain coming off Ti but couldn't figure what from. As Ti smiled at him and told him that he was his father now Oni couldn't help but smile. "That makes me happy Ti. I'm glad you saved me. I'll do my best so you won't be disappointed in having saved me. I'm learning all kinds of things now. I'll get smart I promise," he said suddenly eager to prove he was worth saving. Getting a little shy Oni said, "I know I can't do much now but if Ti needs my help I'll do what I can." He wanted to help the vampire and had a desire for his approval.

(( Sorry Chikuma, I need to try to sleep. ))

Ti was caught a little off guard by the boy's eagerness and will to prove himself, and couldn't help but smile, thinking of a time he was like that. He chuckled a bit, glad that this didn't turn into a messy situation. "You don't have to do anything but be you. The only thing I ask is that you help me help Arina around here. I know there is plenty to do before the snow hits, so you can help me with chores." He looked out one of the big windows and stifled a yawn, "but first, I need to sleep, it's a tiring walk to and from town. You should try to sleep too, you're probably still recovering from all of what happened." He crouched down to pet Dalcha as he spoke, silently thanking that she gets to stay.

((no worries, I should too, laters ^-^))

"Okay I can do that," Oni said pleased. He wanted to be more useful but a lot of times others would just do things for him. Now he could do things to help. Oni got up and said, "Okay Ti I'll go to bed too." Oni went to go upstairs and looked back at the vampire. He smiled and then slipped upstairs. He crawled into the empty bed and clung to his Xanic doll. Ti had been right, things were still crazy in his mind no matter how well he did each day.

Ti sighed as the boy went up to his room and made his way back to the bar. He practically chugged a quarter of the bottle of rum before putting the cap on and making his way to the stairs, grabbing the canvas bag on the way. He whistled for Dalcha as he climbed the stairs, the padding of her paws soon following.

He pushed open his door and set the bottle and bag next to his growing pile of stuff. He closed the door after the dog and took off his shirt, tossing it over to the bags. He unsheathed his blades and placed them on the nightstand. He flopped onto the bed, kicking off his boots as Dalcha hopped up and licked his arm. He patted her head, pulled out his knife and rolled onto his stomach. Dalcha stretched out next to him, taking up the other half of the bed. He smiled at her as he drifted into sleep.

((Night Chikuma))

((Night Kage))

[[reading back, we have one very screwed up family, Oni is like Ti's child while he dates Lukas who is Arina's brother who is like dating Ti, and adopting michi, if i can ever be on to do that xD Me: whaaah the family is all weird.]]

Opening the door, the teen stepped out into the outside world outside of the building. His steps were quick, soft and pierce. He stopped right before the forests edge, a smile on those lips. Giving a small look around he stripped his jacket off, throwing it to the ground. Magic swirled against his skin, as bones cracked and bended in funny ways, he crouched in an animal like way. Fur began to cover his body, decorated in black and white. Stood in the opening was a beast of power, an feline. An Tiger decorated with white instead of the usual rustic orange. Golden honey eyes, and three scares were donned on the tiger's fierce face. The only similarities to it's previous form.

Yin stretched out in an feline manner for rolling in the grass, settling in a position he much preferred upon taking a cat nap out in the sun or at night with the moon hanging over head. Giving a lazily yawn he rested his furry head on his paws.

((hmmm, should I wake Oni up))

(( hello? ))

(( oooh ur on! pleeease RP with me. . .Oni is soooo bored))

((Dudes, I'm here, too))

Oni woke up and realized Lukas was still gone. He figured he must be working for a long time this go and got out of bed. It was colder when Lukas wasn't there and Oni was glad they had bought some new pajamas that were warm. He plodded down stairs and rubbed sleep from his eyes. Maybe he should make some breakfast. He shuffled into the kitchen and began looking through the fridge.

(( PEOPLES! *hugs everybody like a crazy woman))

He had to escape a very.. very comforting and warm... and cozy... and absolutely sufferable grasp of a vampire, but finally his starvation won over him. He threw a shirt back on and messed his hair until is seemed neat, and then headed downstairs. He went straight into the kitchen and shifted a few items around until he finally pulled out some leftover meatloaf from the other weak. "Perfect~" He hummed and made a plate of it. Along with a piece of bread he nabbed a fork and headed to the bar. he didn't need to heat this up at all, It was magnificent as is~

He sat down, mouth already watering as he cut up and 'nommed' down as much as he could. He was already thinking of seconds...

Talianda started awake at Oni and Dante walking through, sitting up straight on the couch. "Huh?" he said, rubbing sleep from his eyes. "I fell asleep on the couch?" he asked, barely understandable.

Oni watched as Dante walked in, grabbed meatloaf, and went out. He figured his friend must still be half asleep. Oni pilled some various fruit on a plate with some meat he found. Since Dante was awake he forced himself to put a slice of bread on the plate as well. Getting a big glass of juice and his full plate Oni headed out to the main room. He noticed Tal had woke up and went to sit by him.

"Hi Tal. Did you sleep well? You can share my fruit if you want. I got a lot of it anyway," he said to the furry Tal. In a quieter tone he said, "You can have my bread too if you want."

Midnight blue blinked open slowly only to see two dark brown orbs staring right back. He let out a groan as Dalcha's big tongue left a wet trail on his face and chuckled at the dog. "Alright, alright, I'm up. " He yawned and moved to sit up, Dalcha hopping down and scratching at the door. He stretched and yawned again, sliding the knife into his pocket as he stood. He changed quickly and splashed water on his face before sheathing his knives and making his way down the stairs, Dalcha bounding down before him.

"Hm?" Talianda looked at Oni, blinking. "Oh, sure..." he absent-mindedly picking up a piece of fruit and putting it in his mouth. He blinked some more, still trying to wake up completely. "What time is it?" he asked as Ti came down the stairs.

Dante didn't honestly care right now. He just wanted a full stomach. And that was just what he got. He smiled to himself and finished off his plate. Well, maybe not seconds just yet... he was satisfied for now. Any more and he'd get fat. Right? He took his plate to the kitchen, rinsing it off and dumping it into the dishwasher before slipping back out. Finally he became aware to his surroundings. Oni and that horned freak. Right.

He sighed, shoving his hands into his pocket before taking a seat at the bar once more. "Oni~ Carbs give you a lot of energy. Don't just eat fruit. Keep it balanced."

"I don't know Tal," he said in reply. Oni wished Dante hadn't heard him telling Tal to have his bread. Instead of argue with the man Oni just said, "Okya Dante." He ate the bread not enjoying it and moved on to more tasty things on his plate. He noticed Ti come down and smiled.

Asking everyone in the room he said, "What are you guys doing today? Does. . . does anybody want to go to town?" He asked hoping one of them would so he could go too.

Talianda stared at Oni. Him, go to town? Last time he was there, they ran him out. "Uh... I'm not usually welcome at towns..." He shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "I, uh, got chased away from the only ones I've visited..."

Ti yawned again, his fangs gleaming in the light as he made his way to behind the bar. "by the light I'd say mid-morning." He responded to Tal. He looked over to Dante, a smirk creeping up to his face as he poured himself some coffee. He gave a thoughtful look as Oni proposed a day out, reaching for the Bailey's Irish cream. "I was just out yesterday, but I wouldn't mind hitting Chinatown again, I found a great Sushi bar." He said, pouring the Liquor into his coffee and putting it back.

Dante crossed his arms, thinking about the idea. Would he be able to prosper in any ways by leaving? Surely he'd have Oni grow fonder of him, but at the same time, he was already fond enough of Dante. He had to work on some fresh meat.

His eyes fell upon the vampire that came downstairs. He bit his lip, remembering the other night. How humiliating... He shook it off before closing his eyes and shrugging. "Perhaps in a bit, Oni."

Oni looked at Tal and realized why. "I'm sorry Tal. If we go maybe I could bring you something back." He felt bad that they would be leaving Tal behind. Perhaps they shouldn't go if his furry friend was stuck her all alone.

Listening to Ti Oni said, "I've never been to Chinatown. What's sushi?" He sort of wanted to go again knowing there were new things for him to see and try. When Dante sort of agreed with the vampire Oni smiled and said to him, "So does that mean we can go later on. . if I'm good?"

Talianda rubbed his face again. "If we could get it so that they don't chase me all the way back to the wild, I'd go. I didn't get to see much of anything," he said, walking to the kitchen and looking for the tea. "I really would like to be able to."
