Kyran gave a slight nod to Sonia and then looked back at Hikari when she stood up and then he held out his hand. "Well, lets just forget about all of that stuff we were talking about for now and try to enjoy ourselves." He paused. "Who knows when we'll get a chance like this again." He said with a soft laugh before starting to follow after Sonia.

Aamori shook her head and gave a sigh after listening to Kanone. "...You're a guy, I wouldn't expect you to understand." She said quietly. The way she smelt might not bother so much expect for they were supposed to go to that party and she didn't want to go smelling like the fish filled lake she'd swam in. To her that just seemed a bit disrespectful. Then hearing that she could just use his mother's perfume and try her clothes, she shook just shook her head again. Of course she wasn't going to go anywhere near any of Sonia's stuff especially after the way she'd spoken to her earlier. She looked up when she heard the last thing that Kanone said and just stared awe struck by the sheer amount of flowers. After a moment she just gave a soft smile. "...She really outdid herself this time.." She said quietly.

Hikari smiled and took Kyran's hand once she was on her feet. "Alright, let's do that." she said simply. She started after Sonia when Kyran did and offered Nanashi a slight smile as she passed and started for the door.

Sonia just hurried out, hardly noticing Nero on the side of the porch as she rushed down the short steps and then started to head further up the road toward the part of town that the others had yet to see. there really wasn't much of a difference other than the houses started to get a little bigger further up and a few more shops were starting to come into view.

Kanone shook his head. "Well, why don't you take a bath then?" He said simply, "Geez you girls are so finicky." He said as he looked over to her and started through the cemetery. He looked around for a moment and shook his head. "That girl is nuts." He said with a soft laugh. He'd never seen so many flowers in one place. He shook his head as he continued forward, not stopping until he reached the trees. He figured Celestine was probably hiding out back here somewhere.

Kyran gave Hikari's hand a light squeeze and proceeded to follow Sonia out of the house. He glanced over at Nero once they were outside but didn't say anything to him, just gave a weak smile and kept up with Sonia.

Aamori jerked her hand away from him when he started through the cemetery and just stood at the edge for a moment half glaring at him. "...Fine. I will." She muttered quietly. She stood there for a moment before lifting her hand up and hovering her palm just over her shoulder. It was glowing faintly. She was doing the same thing she'd done before when she washed the dirt from her face back in Radha. Though, this was on a little larger of a scale considering she'd be washing her whole body this way. She continued to run her hand all over rather quickly even past her clothes. Slowly removing any signs of dirt or foul scents. She paused for only a moment and took her hair around in front of her and began running her hand through it too. This certainly wasn't the way she preferred to get herself clean, but it was certainly the fastest and worked in a pinch. Once she was finished she set her hand out in front of her and all the water she'd used had poured out from her hand. She shut her eyes and gave a heavy sigh before opening her eyes again to reveal their natural dark blue color. She hadn't really been paying attention to how much energy she'd been using all day but between the fishing, waterfall and now a quick washing she'd depleted a considerable amount of energy. She gave a light sigh and headed into the cemetery to follow after Kanone. "LaRae isn't nuts." She said quietly while her voice echoed slightly. Her eyes went wide for a moment. She of course was only now realizing she must have over used her magic on fun things. She paused and forced herself to look like nothing was different; Maybe he hadn't noticed.

Hikari smiled slightly at Kyran when he squeezed her hand and continued after Sonia. She didn't bother to look at Nero, apparently he'd had enough of her and her sympathies for now, so he just let him be. Her eyes did start to wander as they traveled further through the town and her ears perked up at the sound of music being played. They were approaching a sort of central square up ahead where the roads all seemed to branch off from one large open area. Apparently, that was where the party was, and there was quite a crowd gathered. The entire area was decorated with white flowers all over the posts that were set up. There was one stage set up near the center of the square with a large decorative white arch which was also covered in the same flowers. Apparently the actual wedding ceremony was already over, but now there were people up there playing very lively music on several different instruments.

Sonia looked back to Hikari and Kyran again as they approached the square. "I suppose this may be a bit bigger than you were expecting... Usually just about everyone gets in on just about everything here." she said lightly.

Kanone looked back to Aamori when she jerked her hand away from him and sighed, shaking his head as he continued forward. His ear twitched slightly when she spoke to him and he heard the slight echo. He glanced back to her for moment and then shook his head. He must have been hearing things. "Well she wore herself out whatever she is." he said simply as he continued forward again. He looked around and actually hadn't gotten too far in before he noticed Celestine laying on the ground with Nobu next to him. "Oh shit..." He hurried forward and knelt down beside him, "Hey, Kid, you okay!?" he said as he shook his shoulder lightly. The fact that he was sleeping definitely wasn't the first thing that crossed his mind. Considering the way he was laying there he was pretty sure that he'd just passed out again.

Celestine had shifted positions a little since he fell asleep, the hand that was on Nobu's head had moved off to stretch out at his side, and he'd turned his head away from the cemetery. He groaned quietly when Kanone shook his shoulder and closed his eyes a little more tightly. He wasn't in the mood to get up.

Kyran just looked around a little bit once they got closer to the square. He wasn't really expecting a celebration this scale, but then again he wasn't really sure what he should expect. He looked to Sonia when she looked back and spoke. He wasn't exactly sure what to say so he just gave a slight nod of his head.

Aamori gave a nod in response to what Kanone had said. She gave a soft sigh when he started walking again. She was glad that he didn't inquire about her voice and he obviously hadn't been paying close enough attention to notice her eyes were darker then before. She was slightly relieved. She quietly followed after him and just quirked a brow when she heard him say 'oh shit' and rush away from her. Once he'd moved away and knelt down she noticed Celestine laying next to Nobu. She moved over closer to Kanone and just stood off to the side of him looking down at Celestine. She tilted her head to the side and then looked down at Nobu before looking back to Kanone. "...Is he asle--..." She cut herself off before she could finish her question. Her voice was still echoing; She needed to remember not to talk when she was like this. She bit her lip lightly and then gave a faint sigh.

Nobu's ears perked up when he heard someone coming; Though he didn't move his head. He was still resting it on Celestine and moving it would resort in their connection being severed. He continued to lay there though he relaxed slightly when he smelt Aamori, at least she had a familiar scent. His ears laid back though when Kanone started to shake Celestine. He was afraid that might eventually wake him up. He tails swayed around a little and he hesitated but half focused on Kanone for only a brief moment. 'He's only sleeping... Let him rest.' He thought so that only Kanone could hear him.

Hikari smiled brightly as she looked around and then nodded to Sonia. "Oh wow, I can tell." She said as she looked around. There were at the least 70 people here, and considering the size of the village, that was a lot. She looked back to Kyran, beaming at him as she followed Sonia the rest of the way to the square. There were a lot of couples dancing to the music, one of which she was pretty sure was the bride and groom considering the elaborate robes he was wearing and the beautiful flowing white dress she was in. She could see why this was an open invitation, the party was taking up most of the square. It would be hard not to go through town without intruding on it.

Sonia looked back to Kyran and Hikari again as they got there. "Well, have fun, you two. I'm going to go congratulate the bride." she said with a smile as she started to move toward the area where they were dancing, though she had to wait off to the side for a while before she could get her friend's attention.

Hikari watched Sonia scurry off and shook her head as she smiled. This music really could make a person want to dance. She was used to parties, but not usually ones this lively. She looked around and notice that there was food set up on a table off to the side, but thankfully, she'd already eaten so she wasn't ready to go raid the buffet. "Well?" she said as she glanced up to Kyran again.

Kanone started and jerked his hand back when he heard the voice in his head, though he hardly realized that it was coming from his head. He looked around for a moment before looking back to Nobu with wide yes. What the hell this thing talks!? he thought before his eyes trailed back to Celestine again. "Um...y-yeah..." he said to answer what little of Aamori's question he's heard. Again he heard that weird echo in her voice, but he didn't think much on it right now.

Celestine groaned again and tried to roll over away from Kanone and his annoying voice, but Nobu was interfering with progress. He sighed and finally opened his eyes again slightly before letting them close again. "...Mmm... what?" he groaned as he put his hand on Nobu's head again. "...Forget it..." he thought to him as he started to try to sit up.

Kyran was still glancing around at everything, occasionally stopping to look at Hikari or Sonia. He hadn't been to very many parties, and the ones he had attended he was usually working; Either that or he was just standing around watching. He looked back to Sonia when he heard her tell them to have fun. Then he watched her wander off. He gave a soft nod and then glanced down at Hikari when he heard her. "...Well what?" He asked before his eyes trailed off again to look around again.

Aamori continued to just stand there quietly looking down at Celestine and Nobu. Though she quirked a brow when she saw Kanone jerk his hand back and then look around. She gave a soft sigh when he answered her question. She was glad that he was only sleeping; Kanone had worried her slightly the way he had hurried over to Celestine.

Nobu was laughing a little on the inside at Kanone's reaction. It was humorous every time that he spoke to someone like that for the first time. He continued to rest his head on Celestine until he felt his hand on his head again, then he lifted his head a little. His ears laid back a little when he heard Celestine's thought and then be stood up and backed away a little.

Hikari just smiled at him again and tugged on his hand a little. "Are you just going to stand there?" she asked with a grin, her tail swishing behind her with the music. She glanced back to the people who were dancing, hoping he'd get the hint.

Kanone looked at Nobu oddly and then looked back to Celestine. "Um...it's time for that party." he said simply. "What in the seven hells are you doing sleeping out here, anyway?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

Celestine just rubbed his eyes and sighed softly as he climbed to his feet once Nobu was off of him. "...Well I couldn't sleep at the house..." he grumbled. He nearly rolled his eyes when he was reminded of the party. "...Yeah....... right..." He said dully. The only reason he planned to go was because he'd already told Sonia that he would. He glanced over to Aamori and tilted his head slightly when he saw the color of her eyes then sighed and looked away, shaking his head. Why did she keep wasting all of her energy?

Kyran looked down at her when he felt her tug on his hand. "Well, not in just this one sp--..." He paused and shook his head only now getting the hint. He smiled a little nervously for once. "...You want to dance don't you?" He asked though the answer was painstakingly obvious. He gave a light sigh. "I can't talk my way out of this can I? He asked quietly before glancing back out at the others who were dancing.

Aamori merely watched Celestine for a moment noticing him look at her and then look away while shaking his head. She pretty much knew he'd noticed the color of her eyes. She gave a sigh herself and motioned for Nobu before turning around and heading back out towards the cemetery. She truthfully hadn't used up all of her energy. She still had some left in her reserves, it was just being shoved around a little which was why her eyes and voice had changed back. It wasn't really that big a deal, in a short amount of time she'd regain enough energy to be able to switch her eyes and voice back. She gave another sigh once she reached the cemetery and stood there waiting for the boys to catch up.

Nobu just glanced between Kanone and Celestine for a moment before seeing Aamori motion for him to follow. He glanced back to Celestine briefly before he started after Aamori, catching up to her easily. He came to a stop next to her when she stopped and then he turned around to look back into the forest rather then out over the cemetery. With Aamori and Kanone around he didn't want to open up his eyes again so the best thing he could think of was to just not look in that direction.

Hikari smiled again, tilting her head to the side slightly. "Yes..." she said hopefully. "Unless you want me to dance alone." She just looked up at him, almost like a child begging a parent to take them out somewhere to play. "I can teach you if you don't know how." she said sweetly as she stepped back and tugged on his hands again. Everyone else really seemed to be having a great time out there, and she really wanted to get in on it. "It's no fun to just stand around the whole time... that's what you do at formal banquets with boring old people!"

Celestine just shook his head again and started after Aamori and Nobu when they started out. He was still half asleep so he wasn't really in much of a talking mood. At least the nap would help keep him awake through this party...hopefully. He sighed as he caught up with Aamori and looked down to Nobu, placing his hand on his head lightly.

Kanone sighed and shook his head, hurrying after the others. Unlike them, he didn't stop at the cemetery, he just kept going, walking quickly. "I've got to go get my fiddle!" he told them, "Go on I'll be there in a few." He said. Once he reached the other side of the cemetery he tool off at a jog, running back to the house. He whipped right past Nero on the porch and ran upstairs, rummaging through his room for his instrument.

Kyiri's ears perked up when Kanone went running into the house and she tilted her head with a quiet 'mew' before standing up and turning around. She walked over to Nero and looked at him for a moment before hopping up on him and trying to get into his lap, though she had to grab onto his pants leg to try to pull herself up. She was making sure at least one person stayed here with her. She wasn't particularly picky on who.

Kyran gave a soft laugh. "I guess I'm a boring old person then because I usually just stand around at things like this." He said quietly before giving in to her tugging on his hand. Believe it or not he knew how to dance, decently enough. Though he was much better at slow dances because he'd had to learn a couple dances thanks to his father. He just didn't care to dance too often. He smiled faintly and looked at Hikari. "...I highly doubt a pretty girl like yourself would be left to dance alone." He paused. "But I'd be honored to have the first dance." He added before finally taking the lead and pulling her gently into the group of people already dancing.

Aamori glanced back momentarily when she noticed that Celestine had caught up and then watched when Kanone went past. She just gave a slight nod when he said he'd be there in a few. She waited until he wasn't within ear shot again and looked back to Celestine opening her mouth to speak but stopped and turned away. Then started her way through the cemetery.

Nobu watched as Celestine caught up and his tails wagged slightly when Celestine touched his head. He turned around through when he noticed Aamori had started to walk off again. He didn't bother walking beside her though, rather he hurried his way through the cemetery all the way to the other side and then into the village a couple feet before sitting down and waiting.

Nero lifted his eyes for a moment when Kanone came running by and gave a light sigh before he started to lower his head again. His ears laid back slightly when he felt something trying to get into his lap. He lifted his head and looked down at the cat thing from before. He just stared at it blankly before lifting up his hand to take the cat by the nape of her neck and then setting her down an arms length away from him. He half glared at the cat. "..."

Hikari laughed softly when Kyran pulled her into the crowd, though right about he time they got there the song ended. She just laughed and shook her head. "Oh come on...it just wasn't meant for me to dance." she said as she shook her head. A couple of moments later they started to play another tune, though it was much slower. Apparently they were switching out people when it came to playing the music. This one was mostly strings and woodwinds. "Hmm..."

Celestine glanced over to Aamori when it looked like she was about to speak and then watched Nobu take off ahead of them. "...What is it?" he asked simply as he fell in step beside her. "You've been doing this since earlier today." He said simply, "Just spit it out."

Kyiri just meowed and curled up when Nero picked her up like that and then sat down for a moment when he let her go. She looked up at him with those big golden eyes an mewed again before standing up and dashing over to him again, taking a leap and she tried again to get in his lap.

Kyran stood there for a moment when the music stopped and then glanced down at Hikari when he heard what she said. He gave a soft sigh and was about to just walk back over to where they were but he looked up when heard the music change and shook his head lightly. Little did she know she was going to get to dance after all. He didn't wait for her okay before he changed how he held her hand and pulled her in a little closer and then leading her into a waltz.

Aamori glanced over at him when he told her to spit it out and stuck out her tongue. She shook her head lightly and then turned her eyes towards the ground for a moment; Only now noticing that she'd left the house earlier without her sandals. She lifted her hand and lightly smacked it against her forehead. She had wondered why she wasn't tripping herself up every other step. She lifted her eyes back up when she reached Nobu and continued to walk past him.

Nobu looked up when he noticed them walk past and then started after them. Though he had moved over to walk beside Celestine.

Nero gave a heavy sigh when the cat tried to get into his lap again. He just stared at her for a moment before picking her up again. Only this time he stood up while still holding onto her and walked over to the front door. He opened it and stepped inside with the cat still by the nape of the neck and then moved over to Nanashi and dropped her in his lap before turning around and walking out of the house making sure to shut the door quickly behind him before returning to the end of the porch to sit down again.

Hikari was half ready to just go back when Kyran suddenly pulled her closer. Her eyes widened slightly and she looked up at him with a smile before starting to follow him easily. In spite of what earlier mishaps may lead one to believe, Hikari was actually very graceful...at least in this field. She practically glided along with him, eventually closing her eyes as she went.

Celestine shook his head when Aamori stuck her tongue out at him. "I didn't mean your tongue." he said simply. He shook his head and just continued walking, placing his hand on top of Nobu's head again as he continued forward. It didn't take them long to get to the bridge and start over it.

Nanashi startled and blinked when the kitten landed in his lap and he looked down at her before looking up to see Nero. He looked after him for a moment before looking back down to Kyiri. "...?" He just ran his hand along the little feline's back gently.

Kanone finally found his fiddle and hurried out of his room and down the stairs, leaving the door wide open. He barely glanced at anyone downstairs before he dashed outside, pushing to door back behind him as he jumped off the porch and started to run up toward the party.

Kyiri blinked when she landed in Nanashi's lap and sniffed him for a moment before her ears perked up when she heard Kanone coming. She bounced off of Nanashi's lap and ran to the door, running out right after Kanone as he closed the door, which narrowly missed slamming on her tail. As soon as she was outside she ran right back to Nero again and bounced up, latching onto his pants leg again. She looked up him again with those large golden eyes as she struggled to pull herself the rest of the way up. "Mew!"

Kyran smiled softly seeing that Hikari wasn't a klutz when it came to this type of dancing. Though he had also made sure he picked a dance he was good at that way he could easily lead someone who wasn't very graceful or didn't know what they were doing. Though, considering who Hikari was he'd have been surprised if she couldn't do the waltz. He continued to lead her along not even missing a beat when he leaned down and kissed her forehead lightly.

Aamori gave a soft sigh. "I'm aware of that." She said quietly. She didn't bother looking over at him and continued to walk. "...I'm sorry about earlier." She of course was referring to when Kanone had told her to go find the cream for her hand. She'd been meaning to apologize to him for just walking right into the bathroom without knocking but the first chance she got to say sorry she just couldn't get the words out.

Nero looked up when he heard the door open and watched as Kanone took off. Then he slowly turned his head back to see that the damn cat had gotten out thanks to Kanone. He growled lightly and reached down yet again grabbing the cat by the nape of her neck and holding her up so that he could look her in the face. "..." He just shook his head and proceeded to stand up and walk back to the door again. He opened it and stepped inside thinking for a moment before walking over to the couch again though this time he reached over and lifted up the cushion with his other hand and stuffed the cat under it quickly before turning around again and hurrying out of the house making sure he shut the door directly behind him again. He gave a heavy sigh and wandered back over to the end of the porch and sat down again.

Hikari's cheeks turned slightly pink when she felt Kyran's lips on her forehead and she opened her eyes again before smiling and nuzzling against him just as easily as he'd leaned to kiss her. "You're a good dancer." she said softly as she tiptoed up in the middle of a step to return the kiss to his chin, which was about all that she could reach without his help.

Celestine shook his head slightly. "...I forgot to lock the door and Kanone told you to go inside." he said simply. "That was all." He was really trying his best not to think about it at all. "So forget it." he said simply. He shook his head when he realized that Kanone was going to beat them there. "...Hot does he find the energy to run so fast?" he muttered as he finally got around to dusting himself off. "...Do you need anything from the house... like shoes?" He asked, obviously noticing her feet.

Kanone just hurried up to the square and dodged around all of the party goers and up to the stage with the others. He just smiled at those who were playing at the moment and rubbed the back of his head, apologizing quietly for being late while he waited for them to finish playing.

Kyiri started to try to scurry off of the couch before Nero could get the cushion back down, but she didn't quite make it. She flailed around below the cushion for a moment before she finally rolled out into the floor. She shook herself out and then looked up to Nanashi. She shook her head and licked her paw before wiping her face and then ran for the stairs. She dashed into Kanone's room and right over to the window, hopping out onto the tree branch that she'd used to get in earlier and scampering down the tree. She could be quite a persistent little bugger. She just ran around the house and bound up to the porch again, taking a dive and this time actually making it up into Nero's lap completely. She put her front paws on his chest and stood up, licking his chin a couple of times.

Nanashi watched Nero and Kyiri and shook his head. This could go on all day. He just stood up long enough to fix the cushion and then sat back down before laying down to try to sleep so Nero couldn't pull that stunt again.

Kyran looked down at Hikari after she managed to kiss his chin and offered a warm smile. "So are you." He said lightly before leading her out with one arm and then pulling her back a moment later so that her back would be pressed against him with his arms crossed in front of her. He smiled and then spun her out slightly before pulling her close again as the end of the song neared and finally ended by holding her in a dip for a few moments. He just stared down at her for a moment before standing back up straight along with her and then releasing her hand.

Aamori rather timidly glanced over to Celestine when he told her to forget it. Of course she wanted to do just that and was trying her best to. Perhaps now that she'd apologized for it she'd forget it all together. She looked back ahead for a moment. "...You're just tired." She said quietly. When he asked if she needed anything from the house she just gave a slight nod. "...Yeah... I couldn't get them back on earlier because of my hand. So I just forgot about them."

Nero was just starting to relax again seeing as that cat hadn't come out the front door again. He shut his eyes and gave a sigh though that was soon interrupted by something landing in his lap and then the licking at his chin. He slowly opened his eyes without even looking down he lifted his hand up and took the cat by her neck again. He just glared at her before standing up again. "How the hell do you keep getting outside!" He growled as he pulled the door open again and walked inside not bothering to stop in the living room. He continued straight to the hallway and back into the kitchen where he stopped in front of the counter and then reached down with his spare hand and pulled one of his brass knuckles from his pocket and set it down. He then reached up and opened one of the cabinets, pulling a few things out and then stuffing the cat inside. He slammed the door shut and held it shut before picking up his brass knuckle and hanging it on the little knob to the cabinet door; Adding enough weight that he hopped she wouldn't get out. He then turned right back around and walked all the way outside yet again to take a seat on the porch.

Hikari smiled brightly when Kyran said that she was a good dancer, though it was only expected of her to be. She laughed softly when he let her out and then spun back into his arms before twirling out again and going back to the way that she was before. "Oh!" she gasped when he dipped her. She was hardly expecting that. She smiled as she looked up at him until he straightened them both up and let her go. Her cheeks were stained with pink as she looked up at him and then looked away with another soft laugh.

Celestine nodded as they approached the house and then sighed softly. "...Well then go on and get them." He said simply. He glanced down to her hand for a moment and tilted his head. "...How is your hand, anyway?" he asked simply.

Kyiri whined when Nero picked her up again and took her to the kitchen. She almost seemed to know what was coming because she struggled when he went to put her in the cabinet. She meowed loudly and pushed against the door, but she couldn't get it open. She sat there and cried for a moment before she started rooting around in the cabinet. Had Nero been paying a little more attention he would have realized that there were no dividers between the cabinets, there were just three sets of small double doors in front of one really long row of shelves. Kyiri maneuvered her way over to he next set of doors and pushed against it with her paw, watching it open slightly and then close again. She hopped up on it, pushing with both paws until the door opened and she tumbled out of the cabinet and down onto the counter before sliding off of there and smacking into the floor. She yowled and then stood up, shaking out her fur before starting to hop toward the living room again and use the same route that she'd used before to get back outside. Her hind leg was hurting a little after the fall, but only if something touched it; she could still walk on it. Once she was back outside, she went right back to Nero again. She stood up on her back legs and pressed her front paws to his knee before trying again to climb onto his lap. When Kyiri wanted attention she didn't give up until she got it.

Kyran stood there for a moment with a soft smile after noting the color to her cheeks just before she looked away. Then he gently reached for her hand, taking hold of it and walking her back out near where they'd been standing previously. He wasn't ready to start dancing again just yet so he made sure to get out of the way of everyone else who would start dancing again once the music started. He came to a stop when he was clear of the others and then released her hand and turned to look back at her. "Well it looks like you got to dance a little after all." He said with a soft laugh.

Aamori glanced over at the house when they got closer to it and then looked back at Celestine when he told her to go get her shoes. She started to head for the door but paused when he followed up with the question about her hand. She lifted her hand up and looked at it for a moment. It was still a little red in a couple areas where there had been more then one throne. She gave a soft sigh and turned holding out her hand a little so that he could see it. "...It doesn't really hurt anymore. But it's a little sore when I try to flex it." She said quietly before taking her hand back and hurrying into the house to get her sandals. Once inside she went straight over to the bench in front of the window where she'd set down her stuff. She noticed that her staff wasn't in the holster anymore and quirked a brow for a moment before picking it up and putting it back in the holster. She gave a soft sigh and grabbed her sandals before heading back outside. She sat down when she reached the steps of the porch and proceeded to try and put her sandals on. She struggled a bit when she tried to lace them up. She just couldn't pinch finger tips together long enough to lace them all the way up her calf. She heaved a sigh gave up and just wrapped the laced around her ankles several times before tying them off. They'd be less secure this way but at least she had them on. She got up and wandered back over to Celestine. "...Okay we can go now." She said quietly.

Nobu didn't stay beside Celestine too much longer after they reached the house. He continued walking straight over to the house and got on the porch again and laid down. He kept a little distance from Nero and laid on next to the steps. He didn't think Kyran would be happy with him if he kept walking with Celestine and Aamori and ended up freaking out a whole mess of people at that party they were going to; So he planned to stay at the house on the porch.

Nero had just gotten comfortable again with his eyes shut. He opened them again as soon as he felt the little paws on his leg. He just shook his head and glared down at the cat. "How do you keep getting out?!" He complained as he stood up and set his hands on his belt buckle and started to take his belt off. He heaved a heavy sigh and reached down with his spare hand and picked the cat up by her neck yet again. He just stared at her for a moment before he sat down again and set the cat in his lap gently. Then he wrapped the belt around her middle and tightened it on her before standing up again to remove his other brass knuckle from his pocket. He'd held onto the other end of the belt just letting the cat hang there while he got it out. He then set the free end of the belt down on the porch and took the brass knuckle and rammed the spiked end of it through the belt into the porch; Creating a tether for the cat. Then he stood up and moved just out of reach of her before sitting down again. At least this way he could keep an eye on her and see how she'd get free. But he assumed she'd have to eat through his belt first if she wanted to get at him now. He just smirked and made himself comfortable again.

Hikari let Kyran lead her away from the dance area and smiled at his comment. "Hehe, yes, it seems I did." She said playfully as she pounced at him. She wrapped her arms around his middle tightly and laughed again. She could be so playful out here with him, so she was making the most of it. Were this a party at her place she already knew she'd be sitting down most of the time trying to act popper and the music probably wouldn't be half as lively. She already heard another upbeat song playing on the fiddle and looked back toward the stage. "Isn't that Kanone?" she asked, tilting her head a little as she watched him saw away on the fiddle.

Celestine looked at Aamori's hand when she showed it to him and sighed softly. He shook his head and crossed his arms, walking a little further down the road to lean against a post while he waited. He half smiled at Aamori when she came back and then nodded. "Yippee..." he said rather unenthusiastically as he started walking again. He maneuvered around her to take the hand that she'd hurt earlier in him, holding it lightly as he walked. He closed his eyes as a faint green glow emitted from his palm as he tried to heal the little marks on her hand. It really wasn't like they were huge so it barely took any energy from him. He opened his eyes again and looked down to her feet, shaking his head as he released her hand. "Fix your shoes before you lose them."

Kyiri meowed again when Nero picked her up but then started to purr when he set her in his lap and rubbed against his stomach. she looked back when he started to put the belt on her and sniffed at it until he picked her up by it. She tried to run but her feet were just waving through the air wildly. She meowed loudly and continued to try to wiggle free, but she wasn't getting anywhere. It was a little hard for her to breath with the belt around her middle, but she still had the air to start meowing loudly while she hung there. It was hard to believe such a loud meow could come from such a small animal, but she just kept yelling in long, drawn out cries, and it didn't seem like she planned to shut up anytime soon.

Kyran was a little surprised by her suddenly pouncing at him. He merely gave a smile and wrapped his own arms around her. He gave her a light squeeze and gently leaned down and kissed the top of her head. He glanced up when he heard her say something about Kanone. He hadn't really been paying very close attention to the music but now that she was pointing it out he looked toward the stage for a moment. He released Hikari and then gave a soft nod. "Yes, that sure does look like Kanone... Unless he has an identical twin and we didn't know it." He said with a soft laugh.

Aamori glanced down at her hand for a moment when Celestine moved to take her hurt hand. She didn't really think anything of it at first but when she noticed the faint glow she lifted her eyes to look at him for a moment. She lifted her hand up slightly so that she could look at it once he released it. She didn't see any of the marks anymore and it wasn't sore either. When he mentioned her shoes she paused and looked down at them. "...Right." She said lightly before kneeling down and untying her first sandal and re-lacing it up her calf rather quickly before she shifted to do the other. "...Thank you." She said quietly as she quickly finished with her other sandal and then stood up. She glanced back down at her hand again for a brief moment. She hadn't known that Celestine could use healing magic too. The last time that he'd used his magic to heal her, she'd been asleep while he fixed the scrape on her knee. So she was a little surprised to say the least.

Nero glared over at the cat when it started being noisy and rolled his eyes slightly. Why did this thing have to be so persistent? He tried to just ignore the cat for a little while but when she got louder he slammed his hand down on the porch; Obviously fed up with it. He heaved a heavy sigh and stood up again walking over to the tethered cat. He knelt down and held both of his hands out above her for a moment and they started emitting a dark aura. He'd chanted something briefly in the process and then a black shield appeared in the shape of a dome and he then set it down over top of the cat. The black dome would at least keep her loud cries from escaping; Though she'd be able to hear everything going on outside of her little cage. He stood back up once he was finished and wandered back over to sit down again with a pleased smirk on his face.

Hikari blushed again slightly when he kissed the top of her head and then released him when he let her go. She glanced back to the stage again and smiled slightly, "Well you never know... I didn't see him as much of the instrumental type." she commented as she shifted her weight with the tune. She giggled softly as she watched the others dancing. "I wish I could dance like that, I'd probably trip myself." She was particularly watching one girl jump and twirl around. She was extremely good and extremely pretty.

Celestine glanced over to Aamori when she thanked him. "...For what?" he asked simply, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I didn't do anything." he said firmly. He was clearly telling her to forget it without actually saying it. He didn't really want everyone to know that he could use healing magic. His mother had been teaching him before she died, and he had continued to practice on his own long after. He was decent at it; not the best and nowhere near Hikari's level, but he was passable enough to at least heal flesh wounds and knew how to make remedies for several types of poisons. He sighed as he continued forward once Aamori had her shoes fixed. "...Hm...I head Kanone already..." he commented as they neared the square.

Kyiri continued to cry loudly even after the dome was placed over her, but after a little while she finally just ran out of breath and gave up. This definitely wasn't comfortable and she wanted down, of course by now she was ready to smack the hell out of Nero instead of rub on him.

Kyran's eyes shifted from Hikari back to the stage momentarily and he gave a soft nod of his head. "A lot of people have hidden talents..." He paused. "So he can play an instrument... Who knew I'd be able to dance?" His attention shifted slightly when he heard her mention how she wished she could dance like that; It took him a moment but he spotted the girl that she must have been watching. The girl was rather pretty and obviously nimble on her feet. He glanced back down to Hikari and smiled slightly. "...I can't help you to dance like that, but you could probably ask her to show you how."

Aamori stared at him for a moment after he said he didn't do anything and then gave a sigh. "...Alright. Well... I must be imagining things..." She paused. "Thank you, for walking with me then." She said quietly. She'd gotten the hint at least; And for once actually dropped the subject. Her ears perked up a little when he said he could hear Kanone already. She gave a slight smile hearing the music and then looked back at Celestine. "...Not that you really care, but I'm glad you agreed to come."

Nero made himself comfortable on the porch again, though this time he made sure he was facing the dome; Just in case that cat figured some way out of it. After all, the cat had managed to get out of everything else he'd tried. He loosely crossed his arms over his chest and shut his eyes lightly.

Nobu had for the most part been trying to ignore what was going on between Nero and Kyiri but when he couldn't hear Kyiri anymore he lifted his head up and looked over at Nero. Only now noticing the little black dome. He stood up and wandered over to it. He tilted his head to the side for a moment while staring at it and then shook his head when he realized what Nero had done. It made sense now as to why he couldn't hear Kyiri anymore. He lifted up his paw and started to inch closer to the dome but stopped suddenly when he heard Nero.

Nero cracked open his eyes when he heard Nobu move over to the dome and watched quietly until he saw him lift his paw. "Don't touch." He said sternly. The last thing he needed was Nobu lifting the dome up off of that cat. It wouldn't take too much considering Nobu's size but he still didn't want the cat out.

Hikari looked back to Kyran again when he said that she could go ask the girl to show her. She blushed and shook her head quickly. "No, that's fine, I'll stay over here." she said with a weak smile. She smiled slightly, "But yes...I was rather surprised that you were so good at dancing. Especially since you said that you always just stand in the corner."

Celestine nodded slightly. "...You're welcome." he told her when she thanked him for walking with her. He sighed softly when she said 'not that he really cared' "How do you know what I do and don't care about?" he asked quietly, without looking at her. "...But I only came because she asked..." he said softly, "Even still...I suppose I'm glad I have someone else I know here." Apparently, even though he'd lived here he wasn't very well acquainted with the people here. Once they got up to the square he started to move over to Kyran and Hikari. They really weren't all that hard to spot with Kyran's height and the way Hikari looked like one big shimmering white blob. He went to stand close to them and just crossed his arms as he watched the others dancing. He was enjoying the music at least, but he really didn't show it. He was just standing there, watching them dance, though soon his eyes fell on the same girl that Hikari had been watching earlier. She seemed...familiar, but he couldn't for the life of him remember her name.

Kyiri meowed again loudly when she heard Nero's voice and heard someone coming close to her again. She started clawing at the dome, or trying to. She still wanted down from here.

Kyran gave a soft laugh seeing her reaction to his suggestion. He looked back down to her and smiled a bit. "I do stand in the corner more then I dance." He paused. "Though, I guess you could thank my father for the fact that I can dance like I do." He glanced back out to the others who were dancing. "He thought it was important that I know how to dance like that. He would jokingly tell me that I never knew when it would come in handy." He paused. "I doubt he saw this day coming when he told me that."

Aamori didn't say anything when he asked his question. She was quiet for a minute and then glanced over at him briefly before looking away again. "...I guess I'd be glad to, knowing that Kanone was here." She said quietly. When they got to the square she followed him over towards Hikari and Kyran. She stood quietly off to the side a little just watching the other people who were dancing; Not really focusing on any one in-particular. She was going to be incredibly quiet for awhile, or at least make an attempt at it while her voice and eyes were still the way they were.

Nobu tilted his head to the side after hearing Nero tell him not to touch. He just stood there for a minute before ignoring what Nero told him and smacked his paw against the dome rather quickly; Which knocked the dome over and a feet away from them. He looked down at Kyiri who was still tethered to the porch and shook his head lightly before sitting down where he was.

Nero had started to close his eyes thinking Nobu would just leave the dome alone like he told him to. His eyes shot open though when he heard the dome knocked away. He just glared at Nobu before lifting his hand slightly in a waving motion which made the black dome disperse into a dark aura and return to his hand. He was at least glad to see that Nobu hadn't let the cat loose. He shook his head and then shut his eyes.
