Kazuki: { holds his hands out for mizuki} here you go


Kyo: * huh ohh its nothing no big deal dont worry sakura* { he starts eating} * though it looks like those powers r finnaly taking a toll on kazukis body hes bstill just child after alll what ever* gah! I'm so tired and stumped I cant figure out what to draw I'm screwed!

Kazuki: shut up I'm getting nursed here dont ask how I'm doing or anything

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

"He just struck you, Tasha. He's improved quite a bit since I've known him, so for you, it must seem he's improved immensly, hmm?" Sakura held her hand down to the young girl, offering to help her up.

"Calm down, Kazuki. He wasn't trying to knock some of your masculinity away or anything." Smiling semi-playfully, yet still serious due to her focus, Mizuki gripped his hand at his wrist, establishing a grip on him for when she began cleaning it. This would definally sting some. "Thanks, Beaux," Mizuki said softly, turning to glance at him for a second before turning back to her brother. "If it starts to sting too badly, just let me know and I'll try to hurry or stop..Whatever will help you most at the time, okay? I'm going to start cleaning it now, so just bare with me, Kazuki."

Taking a silent breath, Mizuki braced her grip on his wrist and began dabbing at his hand softly, yet speeding up slightly from when she had been taking care of his side. Hopefully this would help keep the stinging down some.

[kai the pkk]

Kazuki: heh just get it over with as quick as possible I'm allready starting to feel the stinging ahhh ow * dammit whats wrong with me and kokuyokus been silent since we opened the letter damn* mizuki you know you dont have to do this right I know its a pain and all


Kyo: I got it inspiration!!! { he starts drawing} allright I got this * damn it sucks we cant help kauki he has to get through this phase by himself

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

"Sorry. I'm trying to do this a little faster than normal, Kazuki." Mizuki's hand sped up slightly once more, though she was still dabbing just as softly as she had been when working with his side. "Just a little longer, and I'll be done with this hand...I know I don't have to, and it's not a pain, by the way. I want to do this."

"Yeah, I've noticed changes in him physically. He's seemed drain for awhile now...Are you sure there's nothing we can do to help him any, Kyo? I hate to sit here and just watch him go through this as he is.." Sakura restrained a light sigh and continued talking to Kyo mentally, waiting to see if Tasha would accept her still-extended hand. "Oh. I've noticed that Mizuki seems to be fine still, lately, but I'm still worried for her because of that seal. I know it protected her from Adelheid then, and it still is, but even with my seal, it was still possible for Kurenai to sometimes get to me one way or another..We probably need to keep an eye on both of them, but mainly on Kazuki for now."

[kai the pkk]

kyo: * the only thing we can do is just take care of him as if he was sick but he hates me so I guess its up to you*

Kazuki: huh what the hell r you talking about i know even you must find this to be a pain I mean who wouldnt ah sorry for making you do this { he shuts his eyes but he sees mizuki with her hands around his neck choking him} AH { he jumps} sorry just stung abit more then it should

[GamerKale]

Tasha takes the hand gratefully. "Thanks Sakura. You know, I never actually dueled him before. I wasn't part of any clubs back then, but I heard he only practiced with his mother, and some master swordsman called Sam. I never got the chance to meet the latter of them though. His mother was really skilled from what I hear though. So I shouldn't be too surprised, but still OW. How did he get so fast? I thought I was quick, but he just disappeared there. I'm going to need to do some serious training if I'm going to catch up at all." Tasha walks in, following the scent of food.

"You know Kazuki, Kale seemed to actually enjoy helping people who were in pain. Of course he was a doctor too. Anyways, try not to move too much." He retrieved two generously laden plates of food from the kitchen and offered them to Kazuki.

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

Sakura turned and followed Tasha inside, coming to a stop behind Kyo's chair. She rested her hands on the back of the chair and watched Mizuki continue helping Kazuki with his wounds. "I'll do what I can with him, Kyo, but you're his father, and more than that, you were the Kokuyoku at one time...He'll need you're help more than mine eventually, I gurantee it."

Mizuki had jumped as well when Kazuki had, though luckily her hand had been away from his at the time. "Sorry. I'm really trying to keep it as less painful as possible, Kazuki.." Going back to work with the antiseptic now that her nerves were calmed back down again, Mizuki finished cleaning his hand and began wrapping it. She was finished wrapping it a few minutes later which was, ironically, when Beaux had brought the food for him. Mizuki kept her eyes on Kazuki as she released his hand, waiting for him to place his other hand in hers so she could continue.

Still, she called back a few soft words of thanks to Beaux. He was being a great help to her right now, regardless of if he knew it right now or not."Thank you, Beaux. That should help keep his mind off of me while I clean and bandage his other hand..."

[kai the pkk]

Kyo: * yeah right thats what you say but he doesnt listen to me and he hates me so that wont be the best idea it doesnt matter let him do what he wants and think what he wants*


Kazuki: { he hands his other hand to mizuki though he cant get that image out of his head his face shows hes thinking hard about something} hey its not so bad this time { he looks at tasha and beax} I cant exactly take the food thanks for the offer though


Saya: { walks back in and sits next to him} hows your hands

Kazuki: ohh their fine after someone I know burned them but their doing pretty good

[GamerKale]

Tasha shoots up a small spout of fire at Kazuki's comment. "That's what you get for taking things that don't belong to you. Brings new meaning to the phrase caught red handed doesn't it?"

Beaux sets one of the plates down and gets a forkful from the other. "Perhaps you would like to be spoon fed instead then?" Although he was trying to be funny, he was also quite serious. Although his allegiances were definitely leaning further towards Mizuki than Kazuki. He still felt a sense of protectiveness for Kazuki.

[kai the pkk]

Kazuki: your joking right!? uhh I 'd rather die then have someone else feed me but I'm starving dammit this sucks no forget it I'm fine why dont you spoon feed my sister instead I'm sure youd love to do that { he glares at tasha with vicious eyes but then they turn to normal} sorry I got overly worked up

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

While Kazuki, Tasha, and Beaux had been talking, and semi-arguing between Kazuki and Tasha, Mizuki had been quickly and skillfully cleaning Kazuki's other hand. She was gripping it as she had the previous one, but since he was distracted, hopefully he wouldn't even really notice that she was doing this until she was at least close to being done.

"Kyo, he doesn't hate you. Just because he doesn't listen to you doesn't mean he hates you. It just means he's a teenage boy." Sakura's smile widened at her thoughts as memories flooded back of when Kyo himself were a teenager. "You were quite rebellious yourself as a teenager, afterall, if you recall it, Kyo." Walking around him, Sakura took a seat next to him and continued listening and watching the conversations from the room opposite them while waiting on Kyo's responce.

[GamerKale]

Beaux turned to Mizuki. What Kazuki had said was true, but now was hardly the time, so he simply sat down on the end of the couch and began slowly picking away at the food.

Tasha turns her head away from Kazuki. "That's exactly right." As Tasha tried to return to eating she found she couldn't control her silverware.

Beaux had set down his fork and was moving Tasha's around, seemingly by just pointing and moving his fingertip.

[kai the pkk]

Kyo: ehhh gah uhhhhh well thats not point he actually said he hated me rerember only because I stopped him when he got into a fight with some kid at school jeez what pain I wasent that bad was I?


Kazuki: OW OW OW OW OW!!! ha and what the hell r you doing beaux her forks moving around in the same direction of your fingure

[GamerKale]

Beaux turned to Kazuki. "Just abusing the properties of magnetism. I can do it with anything magnetic or at least metallic." He lowers his hand and the fork keeps moving. "I just point because it makes it a better trick."

[kai the pkk]

Kyo: ohh come on sakura I wasent that bad right!? if I was I apologize


Kazuki: so like your trying to be a magician huh does she really relize that your doing it to her ow ow ow ow ow ow hey easy mizuki that hurts ahh { looks at beaux again} what jealous that mizuki isnt pathing you up so your taking it out on tasha hehahaha

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

"No, you wern't that bad, Kyo, but you certainly liked to do things your own way." Sakura smiled jokingly at Kyo, laughing lightly. "And again, Kazuki doesn't hate you, regardless of what he said at that time. Kids say things they don't mean when they don't get their way. You know that." Her smile softened to her casual sincere expression now. "He'll never truely hate you. I promise, Kyo."

Mizuki flinched back a little at Kazuki's calls of pain. She truely was trying her best to keep it as painless as possible. "I'm sorry, Kazuki..I'm trying to make this as painless for you as I can, but this hand's severly burnt. I'm almost done, though. Just hold on one more second..."

She dabbed his hand a few more times before finally laying the used cotton strip on a paper towel she had gotten before.

Picking up the bandage again, Mizuki began unrolling it and mentally measuring out how much she would need for this hand since it was burnt worse than the other. "Just let me bandage it and I'll be done, okay?"

[kai the pkk]

Kazuki: go ahead your almost done anyway


Kyo: what ever you say Sakura I'll take your word for it okay though I suggest you help kazuki to bed tonight hes in bad shape and he wont want me too so its up to you

[GamerKale]

"Partially correct." He stops messing with Tasha's fork. "I was trying to distract you so that Mizuki would be finished sooner, and you'd be in less pain." He places the two plates down next to Tasha and nods his thanks to Sakura. After that he sets the door between where Tasha's sitting and where Kazuki and Mizuki are to where it's open just a crack and heads outside to where he had been practicing before and draws his bow fully. He takes a deep breath, accounts for the wind, and the multitude of other things that would affect the shot. As he releases his breath one of the house's windows flies open just before Beaux releases the arrow.

Tasha turns her head at the sound of the window opening and when she turns back to the fork full of food she had been about to eat she finds that it's stuck to the door, slowly swinging open from the dining room. She walks over to the door, pushes it open fully and examines the arrow for a full three seconds before shouting at the top of her lungs. "BEAUX!!!" She pulls the arrow out and storms out of the house, picking up the wooden swords, chasing after Beaux who has begun firing at the actual targets now. His aim unaffected by Tasha's screams. As she gets closer he begins jumping around and firing, occasionally firing and moving again just as she's about to smack him.

[Alkaid_loves_Haseo]

Mizuki nodded softly, hoping that her slowly growing nerves wouldn't affect her main focus in the moment, which was keeping his hand wound tight, but not too tightly. A minute later she tucked in the last of the bandage she had cut off for his hand and let out a sigh of relief, sitting back completely as opposed to sitting on her knees as she had been the rest of the time.

"There. I'm sorry I hurt you, and that it took so long..Beaux or Mom would have been better to have gone to than me, Kazuki, in all honesty. They would have been quicker and wouldn't have hurt you bit a little, if any." There was a touch of sadness in her tone, but she quickly covered it up with a smile.

"Anyways, I'm glad I could help, and it should hold for a few hours before you need to get it re-cleaned and re-wrapped again, so let's go and get you some food now." Mizuki stood, looking down at her brother with the same happy look on her face. I'll see if Mom can do it next time he needs to get it done again..I don't want to hurt him like I did again, and I know she won't.

Spotting Mizuki stand up, Sakura figured they would be coming into the kitchen soon, and quickly switched her and Kyo's conversation back to mental communications. "Thank you, and alright. I can do that, Kyo."

[kai the pkk]

Kazuki: Its fine mizuki you did a good job I fell better { he stands up} yeah I'm starving { he walks into the kitchen and then he sits down at the dinning room table} ow still hurts { he eats some food}

Kyo: hey you allright

Kazuki: yeah fine * I caqnt tell them about what I see whe nI close my eyes I'm in some pretty bad shape* sigh*

Saya: {sits donw and looks at him|} * I hope hes okay *
