Brief Note: Sorry for the wait, but I had to wait for Myst and we had to be stable enough. :Bows in apology:
Hatori looked at Momiji as he held the picture in his hands and then looked at Kaida confused, "This doesn't look too much like a person you know? It doesn't pass for a photograph."
"I'm sorry. I tried. It was from a dream."
"You shouldn't pick on her so much Hari-san."
"So you're telling us that this might not actually be what they look like.
Is there anyone you've seen who looks like what you saw in the dream?"
"I don't know...I feel a little dizzy..."
"Might it make you feel easier to lie down, you can sleep right here if you like. I need to get on with some work but if you need me."
"Aww, Ha'ri why don't you play with her? You're so dull, having to work all the time."
:Kaida laid down: "O k, Am I trouble?"
"Nope, Ha'ri just gets a little grumpy when he doesn't have his naps...right Ha'ri...you really should apologize to her."
"Alright, I'm sorry if I was being too direct with you, but why did you decide to come here? To where I live and work? Why not the main house front doors?"
"So Kaida? Is there an answer to why you came here?"
"I don't really know."
"Oh? What happened? Was there a monster" Momiji asked excitedly.
"I hardly see that being the case, but...to be scared and still to come through the gates"
"No monster." She was surprised by this. Why would he think there was a monster?
"Really? Aww, I wanted there to be a monster, it would have been fun to scare it."
:Sweatdrop:
"O what kind of monsters do you see Kaida-chan?"
:She blinkedI don't get it."No monsters" she said again. Did he not hear me the first time?
"Momiji, you sound sleep deprived. Just go to bed"
"But Ha'ri...Kaida's new here! She might need a friend!"
"I'm certain that she has friends of her own at home, which is where I will locate in the morning to take her as for now, it's time to get some sleep."
"So how 'bout it Kaida? How many friends do you have?"
:She fell asleep where she was, still on the couch:
"Aww, Ha'ri why's she asleep?"
:Hatori felt her pulse: "She appears to be fine, she appears to be breathing it's just that ----The door opened from behind them----"
"Hatori! How are you? I haven't seen you in absolutely ages! O my. Much has happened in this long gap of time. For instance -" Ayame paused. Silence.
"Why so quiet" He questioned just as loud as before.
"Did I interrupt something?" Ayame cocked his head to the side. He wasn't even getting a response.
"You had to come in the middle of the night didn't you?"
"Hi Aya!"
"You really had to come in the middle of the night?"
"Of course. It wouldn't be original of me to come during the day would it" Aya stated more than questioned.
"It would have been nicer, more tolerable." :Hatori looked away:
"Aww. Ha'ri what's wrong?
All the noise woke up Kaida.
"This child, she landed on my doorstep, tell me what would you have done with her?"
"What's wrong?" It took her a minute but then she realized what Hatori had just said and she stared.
"Hey! Aya came! He's really really funny!"
"I did something wrong."
I need to move into a different room. I'm not in a mood where I can tolerate Ayame right now.
:She got up and began walking out the door:
No! Come back!
:Momiji whimpered: "Why do you hate me?"
"Whoa. I-I don't feel very good" She spoke her speech beginning to slur.
She paused feeling dizzy again, but then shook her head. No. I'm trouble. I need to go- Kaida collapsed before she could finish her thought.
"Ha'ri I think! I think something! sees Kaida keel over Kaida-chan!"
"Kaida!"
Hatori blinked as he felt unexpected pain.
"What just happened here and who is this precious thing. You said something about her showing up?
Ha'ri?
Are you alright?" His voice became a little less cheerful and a little more concerned.
"I don't..."
"I'm leaving." Hatori walked off without saying a single thing to Aya.
"Ha'ri! We have to help her/"
"Ha'ri we're a snake and a bunny...we need to, we need to help her get better. Aya-san do you think we could roll her?"
"Huh?
What do you want me to do?
"Help her..."
"Ha'ri?" :Momiji looked after the doctor...as he walked off:
"Do you know what's wrong with Ha'ri-san" he asked Aya.
"Ha'ri is the doctor. I don't know anything about medicine."
:Sigh: "No. But I can find out. Though should be really leave this child on the floor?"
Looking back from the doorway Hatori actually screamed. "Then attempt to pick her up! I can't, the girl she gives me vibes as if sometime, from some place I know her, I knew her and I have known her, that is what I feel."
"Ha'ri?" Ayame didn't know what to say. He had never seen Hatori quite like this. It was confusing and frightening. What should be done? Hatori was normally the calm, rational one. If this chills spooked him, then something was definitely different about her.
