Auras and Chakras

Kuronue looked over at Naia and frowned, 'What's she worried about?' He wanted to ask, but he looked over at Kurama and Bria. Maybe it was best not to ask aloud. He stood up and walked over to Naia, and let his hand tap hers, "What's up?" He asked softly, making sure neither demon could read his lips.

Naia didn't answer, just stood and motioned for him to follow her. She's been to the Temple before, so she knew the way to the Garden.

Kuronue followed her out into the Garden and looked at her. He was going to wait until she said something.

"My happy-go-lucky-ness is just an act, just so you know…" Tsunaia said first as she went over to a specific flower. "I'm worried because of what I saw today. My grandmother made a prophesy, and it said you'd be brought back to life by the Wind. Bria, I mean…" she clarified, "The Crow is the most dangerous enemy your friend and Bria have. He's deadly, in all senses. And the fact that Rachel has declared herself as his friend concerns me. He's told her not to be, but she is anyway…" She rubbed her temples, "So complicated…"

Kuronue laughed a bit and then said, "Rachel's weird, I admit. And maybe a little bit stupid, but…" he smiled over at Naia, "I think we should stay out of who's her friend, and who's not. It's going to cause more damage than good, and I really don't think we should break someone's spirit. You understand."

"I wasn't going to interfere with anyone. I knew that fact already," Naia told him with a small chuckle, "I guess…it's Bria, maybe. Rachel's peculiar, yes, but I cannot understand Brianna. She has something about her……" She stroked the petals of an Iris, white and blue Violets on either side of it. She had yet to figure out why she had picked those, for she didn't know who they belonged to, "Well, you know how everyone has an aura?" she asked.

"How?" Kuronue blinked.

"You misunderstand me, I mean 'do you know that everyone has an aura?'," she corrected her sentence.

"Yeah," Kuronue said, "Even the emons," He paused and then said, "Why do you ask?"

"I can see auras, and the two girl's aura's are unique, unlike anyone else that I've ever seen…but Bria's is even more so," Tsunaia said.

Kuronue looked over at Naia and then said, "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Rachel's is a special aura. She's a moron, creative, and she underestimates herself, unfortunately," She shook her head; "Bria does not. Her aura is very…different. Dark yet light, colorful yet pale, intelligent yet she has her blond moments. She's imaginative, powerful, and quick when she wants to be, and protective…"

Naia seemed thoughtful, "Kurama's correct, she is a Risk Taker. And she still is an Adventurer, an Explorer, and a Dare Devil. This Karasu demon had made her doubt herself greatly. She's so much that I can't describe." She blushed, "Rachel's extremely special herself, I just haven't studied her yet," she added.

Kuronue started laughing and then said, "Something tells me you're going to have a hell of a time trying to get her studied," He said.

"Probably. I did semi-study her, but it's like she's hidden…hazy from my vision," Naia informed him.

"Possibly because she's part of your element and she's physic in a completely different way?" Kuronue asked.

"That could definitely be it," Tsunaia grinned, "I like your thinking," she told him. She now started looking him up and down, taking him in, and studying him. She was completely taken about by how weak he seemed, though he could be strong, "You're still recovering from that incident several weeks ago, aren't you?" she suddenly asked.

He blinked and then said, "A little bit yes," He said, "But I'm fine."

She walked to him quite quickly, "No, you're not. You're a strong Bat demon, and you should have your full strength back by now. You're still weak like it's the day after a major battle." She had her hand stretched out slightly, as if to touch him, but she stopped a few feet away, "We have to head inside," she stated with no room for argument.

Kuronue blinked and then nodded. Once they were inside and were about to go into the Main Room, he started feeling dizzy and grabbed at the wall to hold him up. He took in a few deep breaths, to calm down, but it didn't help because the minute he took another step forward, all he saw was black.

Tsunaia caught him, but was unable to stand upright because of his weight. He was medium build, but he was strong and well-toned, and extremely heavy because of it. "Help, would be nice," she said to Kurama and Brianna.

Kurama let Bria go and jogged over to his friend and helped set him up right so they could drag him in the Main Room and let him rest somewhere, "Jeez," He hissed, "He's heavy."

"What, you've never had to experience his weight before?" Naia asked in disbelief, "Surely he's been injured during a couple of thefts before."

"Well, as Youko, and he was lighter," Kurama shrugged.

"Makes sense," Naia snorted and stood up again. She followed the fox to a spot near the wall where there was a small pad meant for something like this or if someone was injured. Once the Bat was down she got to his side and felt his forehead, "He's got a fever…" she frowned. She felt Yukina come out to see what was wrong, "We need your cooling touch, Yukina," she called to the Ice girl.

Yukina nodded, "Of coarse," She walked over to the bat demon and carefully cooled his fever.

"Should I try to help?" Brianna asked, standing close by, worried for the Bat.

"Sure," Kurama nodded.

"Yukina-san, please move over or something," Bria said as nicely as she could, not wanting it to sound like an order.

Yukina gently stopped and moved out of the way.

Bria bent down and started at Kuro's forehead and moved down, waiting for her Healing Hand to activate. It did over his chest and she made a silent frown. "His fourth chakra, the heart chakra, is why he's not recovering like he should…" she informed them.

"Dearheart," Tsunaia suddenly said, "Explain," she said. She knew everything there was about auras and chakras, and if this girl could tell her what she was talking about, she would have Bria help her train Rachel.

Brianna frowned, "Core functions of the Heart Chakra are harmony, equanimity, compassion, trust, and loving relationships. Challenges occur when heart chakra is not open or in balance," she began.

"Challenges such as?" Kurama pressed looking at her.

Bria took a deep breath, her Healing Hand still going, but she felt no progress, so she stopped. "Basically there are two types of chakra imbalances. 1. Spins fast, in excess, congestion, no harmony. 2. Spins slow, deficiency, depletion, no harmony." She shook her head, "And it's 2: fearful, anxious, disturbed, shaky, shy, unfulfilled, unhappy, misery, pain, sorrow, melancholy, uneasy, lonely, isolated, hesitant, withdrawn." Of course, she'd taken out the ones she knew were not it. Those she said seemed to fit at least a little bit.

Kurama nodded, understanding, "You're pretty good."

Bria smiled modestly, "Yes, well, I learned from reading my mother's books and researching online to find out more."

"Dearheart, you simply must help me train your sister," Tsunaia said.

Bria immediately shook her head, "She hates long explanations and lectures. Even if their informing."

"So, what are we going to do to help Kuronue?" Kurama asked them.

"I have to think…" Bria answered and folded her legs, her fingers pressing on her temples.

'Physical conditions can include shallow breathing…When the 4th chakra is excessive one may experience high blood pressure…' Bria looked Kuro over again, and saw he did have shallow breathing. She checked him and he had high blood pressure. "Damn it, mind, tell me how to help already…" she hissed under her breath, "Yukina-san, please try and keep his fever down," she requested as she went back to thinking.

Yukina nodded and helped out.

'Hurtful situations that can effect our emotional being are separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, hatred, anger, betrayal…Lyria when she died and when Youko disappeared…' Brianna's mouth twitched, 'From this position in the middle of the body the fourth chakra is the balance between your body and spirit…'

"Hmm, the questions help figure out…" she glanced at the three around her, "Oh, just ignore me for now, I need to ramble…strangely, it helps me…" She told them and stood and started pacing. "Ok, first…" Bria completely ignored the eyes staring at her, "What emotional memories does he need to heal? Well, that's obvious, the one with Lyria…What relationships current or past require healing? Youko's…" there were more questions, but they didn't seem to fit right.

"The fourth chakra is assigned to the element air and to the sense of touch…Wait…Air…Wind…Bat! Flying!" She laughed, "Flying will help slightly, loosen him up…yes, that would be good…" She then kept pacing, "What can I do now, though?" she growled.

Kurama and Naia just stared at her, and Yukina laughed a bit, "I guess this is why Rachel can't stand listening to long lectures," she smiled.

"I GOT IT!" Bria exclaimed, and then looked to Kuronue, who didn't seem to have even flinched. "I know more, and it's the ultimate source, but I won't mention it yet…Anyway, why did I not think of crystals before? I love them so much…oh, and harmony to be found in music! Tsunaia, what's in your pack, there?" she asked.

Tsunaia laughed, "A flute and any crystals/stones you need," She was never able to figure out what stones help which chakra, so this was good.

"Aventurine or rose quartz, any would work," Bria told her, "And play your flute after you get those stones out."

Naia got out everything needed and handed her two aventurine and one rose quarts. She then pulled out a silver flute and played the only song of healing she knew.

Brianna got back in her spot and set the rose quarts in the middle of Kuronue's chest, and then an aventurines on either side of it. With Naia's flute playing, the stones glowed in time with the song, and brightly on their own while they worked.

Kuronue groaned a bit as his eyes opened. Everything was a slight blur, but he heard music…really pretty music. He closed his eyes a bit before opening them all the way. "Who's playing?" He asked.

"Tsunaia," Bria answered.

"It's pretty." He murmured as he sat up. He rubbed his head a bit as he fought off the dizziness of just waking up, and smiled a bit. "I'm okay guys; don't look so worried next time."

"That's kinda hard if you think about it, Kuro," Kurama teased his friend.

"Fine," Kuronue shrugged, "Then just panic."

"We didn't panic," Bria said as she held the three stones in her hand. She had caught them when he had sat up. She was about to say something else, then Naia's music stopped.

"You're a no good liar, Kuronue," Naia hissed, "You told me you were fine."

"And I was," Kuronue said, "If I was going to tell you a lie back there, I would have said, 'Help, I'm dying'."

Tsunaia let out a threatening growl, "That. Is. Not. Funny." She emphasized each word, glaring at him heatedly.

Kurama covered his mouth to hide his laughter. This was the reason why only Kuronue never managed to stay with a girl for more then a week.

"No, actually, I am not," Naia replied carefully, "What you said…just…hit a wrong note…"

"Well," Kuronue smiled at her, "Get used to it sweets, 'cause that's all I do."

Kurama groaned, "Kuronue, please."

"Alright, alright," He laughed.

Naia said nothing as she stood and left, leaving her flute behind accidentally.

"Kuro, I know why you haven't gotten your strength back completely, yet," Brianna spoke up, motioning to Yukina that she could go now, if she wanted.

Kuronue looked at her, "Care to tell then?" He asked her.

"Your fourth chakra, the Heart Chakra, is why you're not recovering like you should," She took a deep breath and hoped he was at least semi-patient with her as she began the long explanation. She then told him everything she told them out-loud, and then started on her thoughts "Hurtful situations that can effect our emotional being are separation, grief through death, emotional abuse, abandonment, hatred, anger, betrayal…Lyria when she died and when Youko disappeared…"

"Ok," Kuronue shrugged.

"You have questions you need to ask yourself," Bria continued, "I've guessed, but you need to actually think. What emotional memories do you need to heal? And what relationships current and past require healing?"

Kuronue said nothing and noticed the flute that Naia left, "I better go ahead and bring that back to her," He said aloud as he took it. "Thanks," He told Bria before leaving.

Kurama sighed and then said, "That's Kuro for you."

---

Kuronue found her at the garden and paused and then said, "Hey Naia, you left this," He held out the flute.

"Arigato," Naia said softly and took it back, starting to slip it back into her pack, but then stopped and put it to her lips, "Sit with me," she requested before she started playing one of her random songs.

Kuronue did so and just listened, he liked how she played, and wasn't about to say anything to ruin the song. But what he did say was, "Thanks," He murmured, "For everything."

Tsunaia brought the song to a gentle stop, "What did I do to deserve your thanks?" she asked quietly.

Kuronue smiled at her and then said, "Well, you play pretty," He complimented, "And you just all in all deserve it."

"Hmm…Arigato, for the compliment, but I still believe I haven't deserved anything yet…" Naia looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

Kuronue shrugged, and gently leaned back. "Can I ask you a request?"

"That depends on what it is," Naia remarked.

"Can you play a song?" He asked, "On the flute?"

"Sure. What do you want to hear?" she asked as she put her silver flute to her lips again.

"Any song you want to play," He told her.

"Very well," Tsunaia said and played any song that decided to flow from her fingers and breath. It turned out to be one of love, devotion, healing, pain, grief, gentleness, strength, imagination, and protection. All her songs in one. She'd never done anything like it before.

Kuronue just closed his eyes and listened, smiling all the while. She was a pretty good player. And he was going to cherish listening to the song.
