...
The park was very eventful, after the scares and tribulations of the day it was quite nice and all were in good spirits...however that didnt mean that all would be good when night came along, especially for the children, however, currently the children arent the biggest problem.
In the middle of the seemingly calm blissful night, a portal opens...and two figures step out, small in stature, maybe the size of a child...but these were no children...green faces accompanied these two, along with various tattoos and markings, and piercing green eyes, one of them seemed a bit more energetic than the other, both faces green and black, however detailed differently, long black hair, even black teeth, both had pants with a green star like symbol on them, and they both also had shirts on the uppper half of their bodies...prison stripped shirts, the slightly taller one twitched and cracked his neck, and in a demonical undertone of a voice* FINALLY...we are out of that hellhole...
*the other one, a tad smaller, with a bit of a bored or dull expression sighed in the same demonic undertone* Well...I cant say that was the best plan you ever thought of but...it got us out... *The slightly taller one twitched slightly and turned to him* Hey, that fat demon would have eaten anything, I just had to coax him into it, he was releeased serving his time, we make him throw up so we dont have to...go out that other end...and here we are...free and ready to do what we do best! *The calmer one blinked and cocked his head just slightly* ...Ok fill me in...what exactly do YOU do best Obariyon?
*The more energetic one, named Obariyon, snapped back irritably* Hey, watch it Kodama! It was my plan that got us out of there, and if it wasnt for me you'd be in a demons intestine!
*Kodama calmly stood there not phased at all*...Mhmm...so thats why I heard you saying 'Kodama Kodama HELP ME Im slipping Im spipping AAHHHH!' because...I was the one in trouble right? *Obariyon opened his mouth to retaliate, but found it best not to cause scene and get people awake, they were trying to keep a low key profile right now...so they needed to keep it that way...* Dont make me hurt you...
*Kodama arches an eyebrow* Try it...we have more importiant things to worry about...like when HE finds out we're gone *Obariyon twitches, but regains composure quickly* Thats why I will find us a place to hide! *Kodama blinks boredly at him* Oh joy, because the first time was so fun... *Obariyon growls* Fine wait out here and let him find you! *Kodama sighs slightly...as much as he hated taking orders from his brother...he would need to give him this. Obariyon's ego was something he would rather feed than to let...him...find them*...Lead the way oh wise one... *Obariyon grins triumphant* Thank you...a little respect will egt you places brother... *walks behind a house, Kodama rolls his eyes sighing as he follows him*
*It isnt long after the come up to the side of a house when the sound of a screen door opening and slamming sounds from it, rather loud in the middle of the night.*
*Obariyon leaps behind the house wall, whispers* See who it is... *Kodama whispers back irritably* Why dont you, YOU wanted to be the leader... *Obariyon pauses...then thinks of a way out of this...* You are smaller than me, therefore, you should be the spy! *Kodama blinks at him, and just flatly says* Im not going to look, you wanted to be the leader, LEAD... *Obariyon growls at him, unfortunatly he did take on the leader job, maybe he shouldnt have, and peeks*
*A 6-year-old girl stands just in front of the back door to the house. A white nightie flows around her knees, her head tilts slightly to the side, and her mouth hangs open. Her eyes are shut tightly. In front of her, about fifteen feet away, is the family pool. She walks toward it slowly, eyes still shut.*
*Obariyon sighs relieved* Oh...its just a little girl...looks like shes going for some stupid swim in the middle of the night, weird... *Kodama looks...blinks*...Obariyon... *Obariyon looks to him* What? *Kodama watches the girl a few more moments* ...I dont think shes going nightswimming... *Obariyon looks a little confused* Then what the hell is she do-
*The girl walks right off the edge, splashing into the pool, and going under before Obariyon can even finish his sentence...and she doesn't come up, but she looks like she's struggling underwater.*
*Obariyon watches, twitches just slightly at the deafening silence* ...Shes not going to come up is she? *Kodama simply states* Not on her own no... *Obariyon looks at this scene...* ...Well I guess we should keep looking for that place to stay- *Kodama cuts him off swiftly* Obariyon... *Obariyon replies exasperated* What? Really? Someone else is bound to see this happening! *Kodama looks around calmly and retorts* Its the middle of the night...and we are the only ones here... *Obariyon simply replies* ...and? *Kodama sighs and says it blunty* ...Shes going to die, unless one of us does something you know *Obariyon snaps at him* Ok, then you do it! *Kodama shrugs folding his arms* Im sorry, I thought the leader acted first...and who am I to upstage the leader *Obariyon opened his mouth to retort, but Kodama doesnt back down...he's played to his ego* ...I hate you...you know that right *Kodama groans he's wasting time arguing* Save her...now...
*Obariyon looks to the scene and growls* For the love of...*sprints and dives into the pool...comes up with her and dumps her over onto the deck, Obariyon gets out shaking his head ofthe water* There! Happy? *Kodama silently walks over* Well you did the right thing... *Obariyon twitches and snaps back* Which we arent KNOWN for! *Kodama looks at him silently and replies* You seriously could look me in the face and tell me you would have been perfectly fine with watching a 6 year old die? *Obariyon looks like he might respond quickly but then he's silent* Kodama- ...The answer is NO, Obariyon... *Obariyon sighs* Fine, we saved her, can we go now? *Kodama looks at her calmly* We cant just leave her here... *Obariyon growls having enough of this* WATCH ME! *gets ready to leave*
*The little girl hacks up a lungful of water, choking and grabbing at her throat. She shivers, curling up, and cries*
*Obariyon stops, frozen in his tracks, until Kodama finally breaks the silence, folding his arms* Well oh fearless leader? *Obariyon looks to Tianna...then looks back to Kodama* ...I just got out of prison...and you are going to make me BABYSIT? *Kodama shrugs* ...Yep...I am...because one...the kid needs some help, and hey maybe if you do some community service, he'll give you a lesser punishment when he finds us, and two...we can hide in her house... *Obariyon is about to firre back an argument...but...he is right, their house could be a quick place to take refuge...* ...If we get caught Im going to destroy you *Kodama isnt phased by that one bit* Noted *Obariyon flings the girl over his shoulder and they walk into the house, Obariyon sets her on the kitchen table and looks around* ...So what do mortal kids...really need in this situation? *Kodama thinks* Well...a towel to dry her off would be good *Obariyon nods* Fine, as the leader, I order you to do something for once and get the towel...quietly *Kodama sighs* Oh as you command...*walks off rolling his eyes, Obariyon groans rubbing his forehead...what the hell has he gotten into here...*
*Obariyon doesnt get alot of time to really think about that, because the girl shivers, still not entirely sure what's going on. She cringes, and looks at Obariyon.*... s...s'not halloween...
*Obariyon blinks, eyes snapping back to the girl* Wait you're awake? You fell into a pool and nows the time you choose to wake up? *he sighs annoyed* Thats my luck..
*The girl looks at him, she's afraid and confused, she doesnt know how she got there* Wh...who are you? It's cold...
*Obariyon gives a sigh and replies* Im Obariyon, demon, and you fell into a pool sleepwalking you're bound to be cold...but dont worry my brother went...to wherever it is you keep towels here, to give you one to dry of or something...
*the girl watches him...he saved her? ...Then...he isnt a monster...* Closet... that way. *she points the opposite way Kodama went*
*Obariyon looks realizing this* ...then where did Kodama go? *Kodama instead of finding a clsoet, in the darkness has opened up the door to the girls bedroom, he sighs irritated, whispers to himself* Its too dark to see anything, how am I supposed to see a towel, stupid Obariyon, oh yeah fearless leader go get a towel in the middle of the night with nothing to see with...unbelievable...
*Muffled cries from one side of the room bring him out of his train of thought and rambling, and restless movements. Someone else is in the room with him. Kodama immediatly falls silent and turns that way*
*the room is shadowy, but there is some moonlight. THere's a form on a bed on the right, twisting all around, crying, Kodama sees this...and sighs, whispers to himself* Curiosity will kill you Kodama...*goes closer to get a better view in the moonlight...and there is whats causing it. It's another girl, older looking, also in a nightgown, eyes clenched tight. She looks like she's trying to fight off something.*
*Kodama blinks watching her, whispers to himsel* ...And I thought the sleepwakig into the pool would be the end to this...well looks like Im wrong about that...
*Just before he can really wonder whats going on in her head, the girl sits bolt upright, mouth open, eyes wide and staring. Kodama yelps and falls back thnking that he woke her up...stupid...why couldnt he keep his thoughts in his own head? He blinks...feeling a drop of...water? ...On his shoulder...it wasnt raining outside. He looks up slowly, and overhead, thunderclouds form, inside the room. Flashes of light flicker in the clouds...Kodama's eyes widen. How is that happening? And then the rain begins fully falling to the floor, and lightening is threatening in the clouds*
*Kodama looks at this scene* ...Oooooh no...Oh no...this is bad this is very ba-AAAD..*He's cut off by havint to leap out of the way of a lightening strike which strikes the carpet, leaving a giant singed hole in the room, Kodama's mouth goes ajar a bit...he isnt dealing with a normal person here...this girl could really do some damage to him, speaks up over the rain to her* Hey...can you please stop it? Im not here to hurt you or anything so please dont hit me with the lightening...
*Kodama is hoping thats going to calm the storm, but it doesnt. She doesn't seem to be looking at him. She doesn't even seem to be fully conscious. Which means, whatever is causing this, it isnt him...*
*Kodama looks at her for a minute* ...You got to be kidding me...what is it with these kids and being half concious? *goes over being wary of the lightening, and quickly shakes her, at this point he doesnt care about keeping himself a secret from her, he could be fried in her little 'episode'* Hey Kid...Kid...you're going to blow up your room if you keep this up, and maybe more than your room. Come on, wake up... lightening isnt healthy for a Mortal little girl to be conjuring up...so...WAKE UP...
*Finally, the girl gasps, and her eyes locking onto his silently, Kodama is a bit taken aback by this...but blinks...the storm is still going...um...talk to her yeah* Um...hey there...could you please turn this storm off before something really bad happens to both of us...
*The girl looks up. Claps a hand over her mouth, and waves frantically. The clouds disperse, but the carpet and beds are soaked, and there's a burn mark on the carpet. It doesnt look like she meant to do this at all but...couldnt help it. Kodama hasnt really been able to process whats been happening, and still will not be able to, as footsteps are pounding down the hall right for the room. Kodama turns to the door and turns back quickly* I'm pretty sure I should hide...
*The girl just stares at him, confused as to who he is and why he is in her room and...why he LOOKS like that. But there's a space under her bed. Kodama looks and sees it, looks back* ...If whats coming in might...kill or really hurt me at first sight...Im not here to hurt you or anything please dont say Im here...*gets down and rolls under the bed quietly, just hoping that this girl is thankful he stopped her from destroying her room and worse...*
*Tom bursts into the room. He flips on the light, and takes in the room and the mess in a moment. His face falls, knowing exactly what happened.* Mikko... *Tears run down Mikko's face, and she hangs her head. She tries so hard to keep it under control, but when shes alseep, in her nightmares sometimes...she just can't. Della pushes past Tom, and pulls Tiana out of bed and into her arms.* It's okay... it's okay... we'll find some way to make the nightmares go away. Kodama listens under the bedframe...how bad are these nightmares to cause this girl to make homeade thunderstorms...his thoughts are cut off once again when he peeks out a little more and finally sees the parents...wait...those arre the PARENTS? ...Ok...adopted...has to be...holy crap look at the size of that guy...Im just glad Im under here, or I might not get a chance to explain before Im run into the ground...unlike Obariyon who is downstairs in open view...Kodama's eyes widen under the bed. And it is at that exact moment, when Tom glances at the empty bed on the left, and his eyes widen. He turns and barrels out of the room. Kodama runs a hand through his hair silently, Obariyon is done for...*
*Well in the other part of the house, Obariyon has been waiting for a long time for Kodama to get a towel...he would be worried if his kmind wasnt on the verge of shattering...Tianna upon learning that Obariyon isnt there to hurt her, and in fact saved her, has instantly put down her wall and started talking to Obariyon, and talking...and talking...about what she likes...she likes hairclips, and tea parties, and dressing up like a princess, and so many more things that make Obariyon want to bash his head against the wall, he finally breaks the conversation* Ok kid! ...For the last time...I dont KNOW which Disney Princess is my favorite...I dont want to know...and I dont care...*Obariyon sighs smoothing his hair back* What is keeping Kodama so long? I know he went the wrong way but...the house isnt THAT big!
*Not too soon after Obariyon asks that question, footsteps pound the floor, shaking the house, Obariyon freezes...asks quietly* Please...tell me thats an earthquake...right? *Tiana just beams back* Naw, that daddy! *Obariyon blinks...the house is SHAKING...* ...Daddy? *Tiana smiles nodding, Obariyon blinks...its getting closer...* Hey kid...um...whats your name? *The girl smiles at him* I'm Tiana Mr. 'Bary *Obariyon looks around quickly, has to act fast* Um yeah Tiana right, um...hey how about we play a game? *Tiana lights up* Ooooh...a game? Obariyon- Yeah a real fun one, called ''Hide your new fiend Obariyon and dont tell where he is, dont even mention him, until Daddy leaves...' *Tiana blinks...she never heard of this game...but it might be fun, she points to a sizable cupboard, the pantry, and Obariyon leaps into it without a second thought, about a three second gap before Tom gets there...*
*Tom rushes in, sees Tiana, exclaims* Tiana you're wet! You fell in the pool? *Tiana blinks at him, Obariyon hopes she stays to the game...Tianna states* Can't swim Daddy, don' go in the pool. *Tom looks at her, sighs a bit* You sleepwalk, sweetie, remember we told you that? *Tiana looks at herself...cant say Obariyon saved her from the pool that would ruin the game, thinks up an excuse* Woke up wet. *Tom looks at her a minute...theres no way she could have fallen in the pool and gotten out in time...so it had to be another reason* Maybe showered... *He assures himself that thas what happened. Grabs a towel and drapes it around her* Come on, dry clothes, bed. *Tiana beams at Tom* Okay! *Tom carries her out of the room, looking liek a giant compared to her Obariyon does notice this...and is very glad he hid...but he doesnt know when to come out now...who knows if he'll come back down, and he has NO clue where Kodama is, for all he knows...he could have eaten him. Obariyon decides that for the curent moment, to stay in the pantry.*
*Meanwhile, Kodama is still hiding, Della and Mikko stil in the room, Della has been reassuring Mikko that it will be alright* You want to sleep in our room tonight, sweetie? *Mikko shakes her head. Della nods* Alright... don't worry about the carpet, we'll fix it in the morning, alright? *Mikko silently nods, Tom carries Tiana in, and helps her change into clean, dry pajamas. Tucks her into bed. After a few more minutes of parental assurance, they leave. Tom first goes to the back door to check and see if he'd locked it. He hadn't, so he locks it. He shudders, grateful that Tiana hadn't sleepwalked out the back door, they might not have found her in time. Obariyon keeps his mouth shut, still in the pantry as he leaves back to the bedroom as he and Della return to bed.*
*Mikko, however, sits up, and knocks on the frame of her bed. Kodama silently mutters* All clear? *Mikko knocks on the frame again to indicate a yes, shes not much of a talker, Tiana looks blinking* Ooooh...you gots an 'maginary frien' too? *Kodama rolls out and sits up sighing* Im not imaginary...just a demon...*turns to Tiana* You were the one Obariyon pulled out of the pool...where is Obariyon? ...The big guy didnt kill him did he? *Tianna shakes her head* Naw, he's ok, we's play hide new frien' an' not tell Daddy. *Kodama blinks* ...Ok so Im guessing he's still hiding...so where is he now? *Tianna points down the hall* Cupboard inna kitchen. *Mikko slips out of bed, and pulls on her slippers, Tianna beams* Oh me too! *Mikko gestures to Tiana's slippers, and the younger sister pulls them on. Mikko puts a finger to her lips, and listens at the door. Then opens it slowly, and shuffles out into the hall, Kodama will wait for them to come back.*
*Obariyon has been waiting in the pantry annoyed that he was...sort of just left there* ...Maybe I should have said a signal...or something so I could know the big guy is really not going to pop out and crush me... *Soon however Mikko opens the door, blinking, Tiana beams pointing* There's my 'maginary frien'.*Obariyon sighs* Its about timeand...hey, Im not imaginary! *Mikko shrugs, doesnt seem to want to argue with him, and opens the door wider so he can come out, Obariyon comes out brushing himself off, asks like he hopes he didnt see it* That was you DAD? *Mikko silently nods, Tiana smiles* I'n't he da best? *Obaryion blinks* The best? ...He makes Tursas seem small! *Mikko blinks cocking her head, Tiana also looks a little confused* Tursas? Who Tursas? *Obariyon looks like he's about to answer...then he shakes his head a little spacey* No one...not importiant...*changes the subject* Um...ok as long as that guy doesnt see us...could we...possibly stay here the night? I got not other ideas... *Tiana smiles and nods* Okay, go ask Mommy an' Daddy! *Mikko grabs Tiana's shoulder and shakes her head quickly. Obariyon nods* Dont tell...just let us stay the night, and we'll be out of here buy the morning, we're a secret...ok?
*Mikko glances at Tiana, then at Obariyon and takes him back to the room with Kodama, and they nod at them indicating they can stay. Points at them questioningly though, Tiana asks* Who's you anyway? *They know there names...but thats it...if they are staying they want just a little more than that, Obariyon sighs* Im Obariyon *Kodama also replies* Im Kodama *Obariyon speaks up again, he cant tell them their escaped prisoners, they've gotten lucky to make it this far as it is...* We have a combined name we call ourselves, the Batiri...but our names are also fine...*Obariyon and Kodama look at each other, That name 'The Batiri'...they know they called themselves that but...they havent been able to place...why they did...or where it came from, Tiana just smiles* Koda an' Bary! You like Hairclips? *Obariyon quickly spouts* No... *Kodama looks at him and arches a brow* Why Obariyon dont be so modest, you LOVE hairclips...sparklier the better *Obariyon angrily snaps* Kodama I will strnagle you in your sleep! *Tiana just beams* Yay! I do pretty hair clips! *Goes over and gets a basket full of all kinds of glittery, plastic little girl clips and clamps, Obariyons eyes widen* No...*she gets closer, Obariyon backs up* No no no *she gets Closer, Obariyon finally yells* NO!
*Tiana stops, blinking and lowering her arms ... no pretty? *looks sad immediatly, Obariyon sighs and gets up* Im just not a hairclip guy kid...not at all...find soemone else to do it to *Kodama watches the scene* ...Something tells me you will be Obariyon...*Obariyon snaps* To hell I will, there isnt anything anyone can do to make me- *Tiana's head droops, she sniffles, Obariyon freezes* ...What are you doing? *Kodama just folds his arms as Tianna continues to sniffle* Sorry... jus... wanted ta play... *Obariyon states, slight twitch* Stop that...stop it now... *Kodama looks at Obariyon with just the slightest twitch of a smile* Why Obariyon, is that getting to you? *Obariyon frowns* NO...of course not... *Tiana sets her basket down and just crawls into her bed, her voice definitely quivering* Go on, sleep, we'll say bye tomorrow...*Obariyon looks at her for a good minute...looks to Kodama who just shrugs, Obariyon growls...and every word that comes out of his mouth sounds like it burns* Are there...any...green or black ones...Ill wear ONE...just one...*Kodama folds his arms* I knew it *Obariyon growls* SHUT. UP... *Tiana lifts her head, beaming* You will? *Grabs her basket off the floor beaming and rifles through it, finally finding a light green clip with butterflies on it.*
*Obariyon stares at it...shudders...* ...Fine...just...do it and get it over with... *Tiana hums, going over and happily clipping Obariyon's hair back with it. Kodama asks as Obariyon wishes he was dead* So...where do we sleep? *Mikko points at Tiana and herself, then her bed. She then points to Obariyon and Kodama, and the other bed. Kodama looks and nods* Alright...*After Tiana is done with Obariyon, he and Kodama get onto it, Obariyon says in an ordering voice to Kodama* First thing at sunrise we are out of here...got it? *Kodama sighs* Yeah yeah Mr. Lead-...* Kodama blinks, Obariyon looks at him* What? *Kodama says in a bit of a wondering voice* ...How long is it since we've been in a regualr bed? *Obariyon shrugs laying back on the pillow* I dont know why are you asking- *before he can finish...he is out cold snoring on the bed, and so is Kodama...*
*Mikko and Tiana look at each other, then crawl into Mikko's bed together. Mikko wraps her arms around Tiana, and they fall asleep. And...Obariyon and Kodama...are still asleep...WAY...past sunrise.*
