Meridian Realm: The Other Side Of The Necklace, *BRC and OR rp*

[Atela Hoshi]

"That is a nice name." Vi said smiling as she thought of it. "I don't think I hear that name often. I like it. I was just curious. I know how long ti took Kisa and Iggy to think of a name. She was in quite a bit of pain after and suggested they roll a 24 sided die..." She said laughing. "As for Em's little notes... when we finally got them assembed correctly it read "I just made you waste an entire day trying to find and figure out what these stupid notes say." Alex was so mad at first then he started to laugh and said she got us good ont aht one. But if it's you... I'm sure her notes will be a little more personal." She said slyly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam relaxed at Jake's words. She moaned slightly as she felt his finger enter her. "Oh...." she murmmered giving him more access to her neck. She was panting slightly already and he hadn't done much.

[Ari Neko]

"It is, isn't it?" Jasper said as he smiled at the name, "Of course if it's a girl we'll have to think up a different name..."He said with a light chuckle as he blushed a bit at what Vi had said about the notes to him...if she made them. "I'm sure they'd be a bit more personal...." He said with a bit of a smile on his face.

**********************

Jake moaned softly as he felt her wet and tight pussy around his finger and closed his eyes, shuddering a bit as he imagined how it would feel around his cock. With a small smile, he kissed and licked and nipped more of her neck as he pushed the finger in and out of her at a steady pace.

[Atela Hoshi]

Vi stood and stretched a bit. Her eyes twinkled with mischief. "Well just so you know, you will find several pieces of green paper on the way back to your room." She said as she started out of the room. "She asked me to bewitch them so that only you could read them."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam moaned as she felt her hips move against his hand. "Jake..." She whimpered as she rested her head against his shoulder. She couldn't help but feel weak in the knees from his touches.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper blinked, then sighed and groaned lightly as he shook his head a bit, "Thanks Vi...." He said as he stretched a bit, then left the room as well and headed back to his room, their room really. He looked around for that slip of green paper, and blinked as he found one. He picked up it and looked at it.

*******************

Jake wrapped his free hand around Sam's waist and, without stopping with kissing or fingering her, he picked her up and headed towards the more...shallower parts of the lake. He set her down on the moist sand, not bothering to carry her much farther, and kissed her on the lips gently.

[Atela Hoshi]

Vi chuckled as she headed back to her's and Quin's room. She couldn't help but smile though. Em's note was actualy pretty innocent... well it started innnocent. "I wonder what's going to happen with her. "Want To Join Me In The Flower Room? Got Food." She smiled shaking her head. Each word was on a diffrent slip of paper. "I guess it's one way to ask if you want to have a picnic in the Flower room."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam moaned as she felt the sand against her back. Her fingers tangled in his hair slightly. She whimpered as she returned the gentle kiss, her body reacting to his touches by cumming hard on his finger.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper looked at the slip of green paper, "want..." He said, muttered really, as he read what the slip of paper said. He shook his head and kept walking, keeping an eye out for those little slips of paper. When he finally collected them all, he laid them out on the bed, where the last one was, and tried to construct the sentence. "Want to join me in the flower room. Got food..." He said with a chuckle as he shook his head. "Emily, you are one of a kind..." He mused lightly as he stood up and started towards the flower room.

************************

Jake grinned lightly as he felt a warmer, thicker wetness pool onto his finger. He pulled it out and washed it off in the lake water. He kissed her once more on the lips, his body pushing against hers, showing just how much he wanted her, needed her. Pulling back what control he had, he looked at her, a curious question in his eyes, "Do you want this...?" He asked softly, as there was still time for her to say no and for him to back off.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em was laying on the ground sleeping as she waited for Jasper to come to the flower room. She figured she could sleep better in that room than theirs since he wasn't there. But it also gave her a chance to get a picnic together. There was several kinds of sandwiches, some drinks and some fruits and veggies. Zana had released some butterflies in the flower room and some were in Em's hair thinking she was a flower or some sort of plant which she was in away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam panted and looked up at Jake. She gave a slight nod. "I do, Jake." She said knowing her body would not let her rest until this was finished. And she did want him. She had for some time now but did not think he felt the same. "Please, Jake...be my first.. and only." She said softly.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper smiled as he looked down at the sleeping Em and the many butterflies that adorned her. She really is an angel sometimes... he thought as he sat beside her. He shooed off the butterflies as he ran his fingers through her hair, chuckling a bit, "Nice way to ask me to come." He said softly as he looked down at her.

*******************

Jake nodded as he ran his hands down her side a bit, feeling the warmth of her skin against his own. "I love you Sam." He whispered softly into her ear as he pulled off her clothes and then his own. He kissed her once more on the lips, slipping his tongue into her mouth as he pushed gently into her.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em smiled as she felt his touch and opened her gold eyes sleepily. She looked at him and giggled. "I'm glad it sparked your curiosity." the Erela said as she sat up yawning just a bit. A purple butterfly landed in her hair just behind her left ear looking like a hair clip as it sat there. "So did you enjoy the fight? I heard you watched Greg, Kyo and Vi."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam winced her body tensing at the pain that went with him entering her. She whimpered as her tongue met his to get her mind off the pain. She moaned slightly as her body adjusted quickly to him for some reason. She wasn't going to question it any time soon though.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper smiled a bit, "The fight was....interesting..." He said as he trailed off a bit, "But all three of them are rather odd and Vi is apparently making a blanket for the baby." He said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and hugged her close, taking in her scent. He chuckled at the odd, purple butterfly on her hair and smiled.

*************************

Jake waited for her to adjust, then started to push in and out of her at a steady pace. He wasn't going to slow, but not to fast either so it wouldn't hurt her more. He moaned at the feel as he broke the kiss and started to kiss her neck and shoulders, his tongue licking it and his fangs nipping at the skin gently.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em smiled. "I see. She said she had some random quesitons for you." She chuckled and rested her head against his shoulder. "But she didn't give any hints as to what they were. Asha and Ivy were playing tag with Chance and little Tolen last I saw them. Helen was having fun with them as well." She said as she smiled a bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam moaned and panted as her body started to move with Jake's. She moaned a bit louder as she felt his fangs scrape her skin gently. "Gods, Jake..." She mummbled as she moved her head a bit so he could get more of her neck if he wanted.

[Ari Neko]

"They were rather random. Asking about color's and shapes, left me a tad confused until she explained." Jasper said with a chuckle as he looked at the food laid out before them. He picked up a glass of lemonade and drank some of it as he looked at Emily, "As long as no one gives them sugar and silly string, I'll be just fine then." He said with a chuckle.

****************************

Jake moaned a little louder as he felt her move against his body. He panted a bit and started going a bit faster and harder into her, loving the soft sweet moans she gave and the loud ones that echoed slightly in the cavern. "Gods, Sam...you're so tight." He moaned out softly.

[Atela Hoshi]

"Awww dont' want attacked with water ballons again?" Em asked innocently as she giggled and took a carrot stick. "We had fun though!" She said laughing a bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam moaned and blushed at Jake's words. "Jake...I feel hot..." she whimpered. "Like I'm going crazy." She said her legs wrapping around his waist a bit on their own it seemed. This felt so diffrent from when she was close to cumming when he was fingering her.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper sighed a bit. "It was fun until someone decided to put flour in the water balloons to make a paste and toss it at people. Then it was messy..." He said with a chuckle. It had taken almost an hour to scrap up all the goo and even longer for people to wash it out of their hair when they were all done.

**************************

Jake moaned more at her words, as he felt hot as well, though not like he was going to go crazy. He didn't know what she meant by those words, but for some reason he pushed quicker in and out of her tight pussy. He moaned when he felt her wrap his legs around his waist and kissed her deeply. "Gods, Sam...." He moaned as he placed a hand between them and started to run her in time with his thrusts.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em nodded. "I don't' know which one thought of that." She said honestly. She hated cleaning up those kinds of messes in the kitchen so it wasn't her. "But at least it kept us all busy for a bit."S he said thoughtfuly. She ate a few grapes and smiled a bit with a chuckle. "I'm so ready to get out of here. I like the sun stones but... I want to feel the real sun." She said softly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam panted hard and moaned loudly as she arched her back against his body. "Jake!" She cried out as she came around him. Her body was still a bit hot but not like it had been. "Gods..." She whimpered panting.

[Ari Neko]

"Most likely Asha or Ivy. Those two are evil..." Jasper said jokingly as he chuckled a bit, "At least when it comes to joined attacks of silly string..." He added after a moment as he shook his head. He looked over at Emily and smiled a bit as he rubbed her shoulder, "I know. I can't wait till we can have some fresh air."

************************

Jake pushed deeper and hard into Sam one last time, " Sam!" He cried as he came shortly after her, at the same time, he bent down and bit her neck, his teeth breaking the skin. He licked up the blood and pulled back, smiling as a hawk in reds and blacks appeared on her neck. He kissed her deeply one more time, then pulled out of her. "I love you Sam." he whispered softly.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em nodded. "Sometimes it feels like I'm dreaming you know? That this is just one hell of a nightmare.. though there are parts I wouldn't change." She said as she looked at him. "Sorry... I keep thinking and that's not a good hobby to have." She said blushing slightly at how her words must sound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I love you too, Jake." Sam said as she placed her hand on the mark. She smiled and closed her eyes as she caught her breath. She opened them and looked at her mate. "This has been a very memorible swim." She said smiling.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper raised an eyebrow at Emily, wondering about a few things as he looked at her...like her sanity...and perhaps a few other things. He chuckled and shook his head, "No, it doesn't seem to be a good hobby for you." He teased lightly as he nuzzled her neck lightly, "It does lead to interesting conversations though." He said lightly.

********************

Jake smiled and chuckled a bit, "Yes, I keep wondering if it would've come out different if I wasn't in heat..." He mused lightly as he looked down at her, before rolling off of her and resting in the cool sand. He closed his eyes a bit and smiled, "Well...we should wash off...before people come." He said as he looked at her, "As we are both quiet naked at the moment." He said as he kissed her neck.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em mewed at the nuzzle on her neck and chuckled. "I'm sorry. I'm just going a bit... crazy not being able to work. And I dont' liek being kept inside. That's why I chose here to eat. It's calmed me a bit." She said looking at her mate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam chuckled. "It may have... but then again, it may not have.' She said as she sat up, wincing just a bit as she felt some pain. "But we shoudl wash. I would hate to have to fight off anyone who would see your body..." She said blushing a bit at her own words.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper smiled a bit and sighed gently, "I know Emily, I know. We'll get out of here soon. Lily is just doing some touch ups on the spell." He said as he hugged her a bit and kissed her cheek, "So it'll only be another day or so, and then no more mist demons, just..sun and cleaning everything up." He said lightly with another sigh.

**************

Jake blinked, then laughed, "Too right, I'd have to do the same for you, you know. You are quite beautiful." He said as he kissed her cheek and walked out into the lake. He swam in it for a moment, letting the cold waters cool him down. He was pleased at the moment, so he wouldn't have to worry about jumping Sam again.

[Atela Hoshi]

Em closed her eyes and placed her hand on her stomach. She was still feeling a bit ill but not like she had been. She was glad for Vi's advice on how to avoid morning sickness. "Yes I know. I don't want to rush her. None of us do. And I know she still doubts Shinra as a choise." She said frowning. "Though I do not blame her there."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam smiled at Jake's words before she dove into the cool water. She surfaced and shook her head a bit to get water out of her ears. She was still sore but a good sleep would stop that. She was in a very good mood now.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper smiled as he saw her place a hand on her stomach, though frowned as he knew she was still feeling ill...with morning sickness and all. He hugged her a bit and rested his head on her shoulder, "No one blames her there. She is unsure of Shinra, but...oh well...it can't be helped. He is the only one we know who will not be taken over by the power of the mists." He said with a sigh.

************

Jake closed his eyes and let himself float there for a moment before he righted himself in the water, "Alright then, we should get dressed..." He said as he pulled himself out of the lake. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off, before dressing in his damp shorts and dry shirt.

[Atela Hoshi]

"It kind of makes me curious as to who was the original one to take them..." She said softly as she thought of a conversation she heard Older Tolen having with Chronos. "It's kind of odd as well... that Chronos is allowing them to change some things. But.. I can just imagion what price is being paid to have these things changed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam dove once more before swimming to shore. She shook the water off of her much as a dog would...getting it everywhere. "Oops."S he said laughing abit as she stood and grabbed her clothes, slipping them on.

[Ari Neko]

"I know, someone must be paying the price for changing what was to be..." Jasper said as he shook his head a bit and sighed lightly, "I suppose we'll find out soon enough." he added after a minute, though part of him already knew that Tolen would have to pay the price, though he wasn't sure how...

******************

Jake laughed a bit and shook his head a bit as he hugged her to him, once she was dressed, "You shouldn't shake like that, you'll give me a hard on." He said as he kissed her cheek, then pulled away to pick up the extra towels.

[Atela Hoshi]

"I guess so." Em said sighing a bit. She didn't like the thought of someone having to pay for a better future but then again... when something was changed, there was consiquinces. She knew this from Gaston's hacking and her playing aorund with recipies. She giggled as some butterflies came over to investigate them. "Curious creatures."S he said as one landed on her nose a moment then took off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam blushed at Jake's words. "I'll remember that." She said a bit slyly as she rung the water out of her hair. "It's been a nice night. We'll have to do this again some time." She said as she started over to get her shoes.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper smiled as he watched her, "Yes, they are..." He said as he looked at them. It was an odd site, a cold vampire with a happy Erela surrounded by beautiful butterflies. He chuckled a bit at the image people must see if they walked by and shook his head as he hugged Emily close to him.

****************

Jake chuckled, "I'm sure you will." He said as he winked at her. He picked up the last towel and grabbed his shoes as well as they headed back to their room. "It was a nice night..." He mused lightly, grinning. "I'd love to do it again...and I'll apologize now." He said with a chuckle, "I'm in heat love, I don't think we'll be getting much sleep for two or so weeks." He added.

[Atela Hoshi]

Kevin couldn't help it when he had walked by and saw the two. He was quiet as he snapped the picture...finally finding what he was going to paint. He walked away with a smile on his lips. He didnt' want to distrub them anyway.

Em cuddled against her mate and sighed happily as the butterflies went to play elsewhere even the one in her hair. "love you, Jasper>" She said closing her eyes. She was happy and relaxed right now. and too comfy as she started to fall asleep again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam blushed and then smiled a bit with a chuckle. "So.. if by chance I get pregnate it won't be a surprise? Well it will be but not... unexpected." She said as she avoided looking at him as she would most likely blush deeper than she already was.

[Ari Neko]

Jasper looked at Em and chuckled a bit as he laid down on the blanket she had set out. He let her rest her head on his chest and shoulder and closed his eyes for a moment, listening to her fall asleep. He yawned himself and kept his eyes close as he fell into a light doze.

****************************

Jake grinned, "Well...yes...Hawks are very potent creatures." He said as he blushed a bit. He couldn't lie to her at that, so it was possible she'd be pregnant very soon with pups. He smiled at that thought and hugged her close to him as he opened the door to their room.

[Atela Hoshi]

Devanna looked up as older Tolen entered the training room she was in with Ilisa. The leo asked her to help out with some fire attacks. "Yes?" she asked looking at her grandson.

"I'll se eyou later." Ilisa said smilng as she left.

"I wanted to talk to you before we left." Tolen said lightly as he looked at her. The four of them weren't sure why they hadn't been returend to their own time just yet but he wasn't complaining... yet at least. He hadnt' got to talk to Devanna alone.

"Get it figured out yet?" Celeste asked Raven from where she lay on the bed. "The reason why we are still here?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam blushed but smiled a bit. Her father was going to faint when he heard she had mated... but he'd really pass out when she got pregnate. "Well I'll be careful not to stress myself out then. Dont' want anythign to happen after all." She said smiling at him as she entered the room and went over to get some dry clothes.

[Ari Neko]

Raven had one arm covering his eyes and sighed heavily when Celeste spoke. "Yes and no..." He said lightly, "I may have calculated wrong, that or the mist is keeping us here." He said as he sat up and ran a hand through his hair. He looked thoughtfully at Celeste for a moment, then sighed, "If we don't leave by tomorrow morning, then I'll know it's the mist." He said lightly as he patted her on the head.

*****************

Jake chuckled a bit, "Right..." He said as he watched her enter the room. He followed after a moment and rummaged through the drawers for some dry clothes of his own. He didn't think he could sleep in damp pants and all. He pulled out another pair of shorts, black instead of dark blue this time, and a pair of boxers. He changed quickly, then stretched his arms above his head, sighing a bit.

[Atela Hoshi]

Celeste hummed and purred at the pat on the head. "Have you thought about the possiblity that there is still something we have to do in this time?" She asked looking at him. "I blame Dad (Zana) for this thought. Have you seen the old tv show Quantum Leap?" She asked looking at him. "Dad and I were talking the other night while watching it. Why he likes that corny old show I don't know but when we got to talking about it... it's kind of the same principal except we didn't take the lives of other people during that time we appeared in that time... adn I've confused myself once more." The little butterfly said pouting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

Sam rebraided her hair as she yawned a bit looking sleepy as well. "The old dog is going to flip you realize." She said chuckling about Hatori's reaction. She laid on the bed and hugged a pillow as she was in the habit of doing.

[Ari Neko]

Raven stared at Celeste for a moment, blinking in mild confusion, then sighed, "So what you're trying to say, is that the reason we have yet to go back to our present is because there is still things that we must do?" He said lightly, "And you confused me with the Quantum Leap thing..." with a slight shake of his head and a chuckle.

*****************

Jake chuckled a bit at what Sam had said and fell onto the bed, taking his pillow back from her after a minute. "He may flip, but...I don't mind. I wasn't lying when I said I loved you Sam." He said as he huggled her close. "You were the first...and the only person who fought to keep me alive, even though you didn't know me." He whispered softly. "And through it all, I fell for you."

[Atela Hoshi]

Celeste stuck her tongue out half way and chuckled. "Sorry... I guess you'd have to see the show to understand what I was talking about." She said shaking her head. "But... there maybe something left undone. We won't know until we figure out what is true in our time and what has yet to happen in this one during this time. For example... why is it in our time that Shinra is not the one who controls the mist demons but Leah instead? What happened in the past that prevented Shinra from taking control of the demons?" That question had bothered her a bit but she had been afraid to speak it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam smiled and rested against Jake's shoulder a bit. She blushed at what he had said. "I... kind of fell for you that first day when you tried to keep me from healing you." She said softly. "But the ball down the hall was a bit low." She said pouting a bit but giggled. She looked at him and smiled softly. "Everyone deserves a chance to live, to find that one person that makes them compleat. If you had taken your life or died by your brother's hand... I would have been heart broken... in just that short time I met you."

[Ari Neko]

Raven shook his head, "I don't know. Shinra is more apt to take the Mist Demons anyway, and as soon as he banishes them, from what Lily told me, he won't keep in control of them. She doesn't trust him enough to give him complete control..." He said as he popped his neck while thinking. "But I don't know why Leah doesn't have control this time, maybe because we were able to get Shinra to help? I don't know..." He said, growing frustrated by the questions.

********************************

Jake laughed as he remembered what he had done to try and get her to leave him alone that first day. "Sorry, but I wasn't even sure if that would work. I just assumed and chucked it down the hall. I was surprised when you chased after it!" He said with a chuckle as he looked at Sam. He smiled a bit, happy that she loved him back, and kissed her tenderly on the lips.

[Atela Hoshi]

Celeste reached out and ran her fingers though his hair gently. "Sorry..." she said softly not meaning to make him frustrated. She had that habit when her mind was loaded with questions. Normaly it was Ivy answering quite a few of them or Emily. They were the only ones with the pacients for all her ood or silly questions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam returned the tender kiss happily her tail wagging a bit. "I have bad habits that were drilled into me... anything thrown should be retrieved unless told other wise not to was one of them.' She said lowering her ears a bit. "But I have gotten slightly better..."

[Ari Neko]

Raven took a deep breath and sighed a bit, "Not your fault. It's mine. I have that temper of mine, you know that Celeste." He said, relaxing into her touch. He closed his eyes and sighed a bit again, before he reached out and hugged her to his chest. "Love you Celeste." He said softly.

***********************

Jake nodded his head, "You are getting better at not chasing after balls when they are thrown, that much I can see." He said with a slight sheepish expression. He had a habit of tossing balls without thinking. Sam was able to resit it...most of the time...so that was a good thing.

[Atela Hoshi]

"Love you as well, Raven." Celeste said resting against the vampire's chest. "I try not to ask random or odd questions... it just doesnt' work." She said closing her eyes. She, like the others, was ready to go back to their time. She opened her eyes as she heard Donny racing down the hall... he had a very distinctive foot fall... as he took very long strides. Yuri's were right after him. "How long does it take your uncle to quit chasing your dad around with some sort of weapon?" She asked curiously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam pouted and stuck her tongue out at him. "When I'm really wound up it does no good to resist... they tease me. I swear they do." She said in her defense.

[Ari Neko]

Raven laughed a bit as he heard his father and Yuri running down the hallway and was surprised to see that Kim was only walking behind them, instead of chasing after her brother, his uncle. She must be tired or laughing too hard. he thought as he shook his head thoughtfully. "A few years. I think after 6 or so years, Yuri just keeps doing it because it's fun..." he said with another chuckle.

**************

Jake laughed at her a bit, "Sure, I bet they do tease you." He said as he shook his head at her. His mind went slightly...okay...his mind dove into the gutter when he had heard her say that, how the balls tease her and all. He shook it off, knowing she was tired and that they had already done it once already. Of course...his mind accepted it, his body...not so much. He kissed her lightly on the cheek and pulled away from her. "I'm going to take a cold shower." He said with a chuckle as he got out of the bed.

[Atela Hoshi]

"I'm surprised I haven't seen him chasing Tolen yet." Celeste laughed. "Your dad is an odd one. Why does he let Yuri chase him? I mean... he is an assassin he can easily get away." She asked shaking her head as she watched Kim walking behind them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam didn't catch on to what she said about balls teasing her... and how it affected Jake." Ok... I'll probably be sleeping when you get out." She said rubbing her eyes as one ear fell to the side a bit.

[Ari Neko]

"I don't think he knows that Maya and Tolen have actually...done anything yet. That or he knows that his future self will take care of the whole Tolen and Maya thing." Raven said with a slight chuckle. "My parents are a lot more laid back about me and you, thankfully." He added after a moment as he kissed her gently on the neck.

*************

Jake smiled at Sam and nodded as he walked into the bathroom. He shut the door, but didn't lock it. After relieving himself, he turned on the water, setting it so it was barely warm and mostly cold. He stepped in and sighed lightly as he let the cold water run down his body. I should let her sleep...but the demon in me says to wake her up in a rather creative way... he thought with a bit of a smile. He shook his head and sighed, hoping his problem would...fix itself. To his dismay, it seemed to get worse because his mind kept throwing pictures of Sam, naked and beneath him, which didn't help at all. Finally, after 25 or so minutes standing in cold water, Jake took care of the problem himself, keeping his moans down to a minimum.

[Atela Hoshi]

Celeste bit back a moan at the kiss on the neck. "Both of our parents are... mine are just odd though." She giggled a bit knowing Zana and Akira wouldn't have cared who she mated with as long as they loved eachother. "And... if Yuri's future self is goign to take care of it... it could explain why he didn't like Tolen much to begin with when he started to get older." She giggled. "And I kind of feel sorry for him. Yuri's had 16 years to plan."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam was curled up on the bed sleeping. She caught some of the moans but they didn't disrupt her sleep enough to make her get up to check on her mate. She was that tired from the swim and their love making.

[Ari Neko]

Raven was silent for a second, then laughed, "You're right! Yuri has had 16 years to think up what he's gonna do to Tolen!! Think we should warn the dragon or let it be a surprise to him?" He asked as he looked at Celeste, almost smirking when he saw that she had bit back a moan from him kissing her neck.

*****************

Jake washed off his hands and his body shortly after he had taken care of his...problem. Feeling much better than before he had walked into the bathroom, he shut off the shower and got out. he dried himself off then dressed and walked back over to the bed. I'll let her sleep... he thought as he laid down on the bed and watched her. I hope I do at least...

[Atela Hoshi]

"Let it be a surprise. If he hasn't figured it out on his own then that's his problem." Celeste said smiling sweetly before she kissed her mate. "Besides, I think the bets you guys come up with will be hillarious as Yuri chases Tolen." She said cuddling to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam snuggled next to Jake though she was sleeping quite well by the time he got out of the shower. She could smell some water still as she slept but knew it was him even as she slept. Her hold on his pillow lossened so he could take it from her as she usualy did.

[Ari Neko]

Raven smiled as he kissed Celeste back, "True, true, and they say Tolen is the smart one." He said with a chuckle as he hugged her tight, then relaxed his grip a bit. "But our bets are funny and one of us always ends up paying the others, it's a good way to make money." He said with a chuckle, "But we had to make talking to Kisa illigal in the betting games cause it's....cheating..." He said with another chuckle.

******************

Jake chuckled a bit and took his pillow back and set it next to Sam's own, before he laid down and huggled her close. He watched her sleep for awhile as he simply marveled at the fact that she was now...his and his alone. With a smile on his face, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

[Atela Hoshi]

Celeste couldn't help but laugh at that. "Yes I heard about that... but is it all that fair betting Chance? I mean he could easily see some of the out comes or does he behave?" She asked shaking her head. "Still Kisa gets one hell of a laugh out of it. Aden usually just looks at his mother oddly I've noticed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tammy sat in the hot spring relaxing with her eyes closed. She had loosened up greatly after she and Kenji mated. Though she was still skittish, it wasn't as bad. She sighed and moved so she was still covered with the water. Koji had visited to make sure that the foxes were alright and when he saw her he nearly hugged her to death. She couldnt' help but giggle about it. She was upset though when she heard they had to lock Betsy up because of an illness she had gotten. Hatori wasnt' too sure if she was going to make it....

"Yeah, Aden does...I don't think he gained the whole future sight from his mother, which is good cause it's bad enough I have Chance telling me I'm going to have a horrible day or something." He said as he shook his head lightly and sighed, pouting a bit, but laughing as well. "And Chance promises to lose on purpose every now and then to make it slightly fair." He added.

Kenji sat outside of the hot springs, thinking over a few things, as he let Tammy take her time. He had already bathed and although he wouldn't mind going in there with her, he knew for a fact that she'd need some alone time. He sighed a bit and rested his head on his hand and blinked slowly at the wall. I do hope Betsy survives...Tammy would be so sad should she die... he thought as he shook his head a bit.

Celeste giggled. "Well at least he's fair about it. Then I've noticed there are times Chance doesn't bet at all and just watches his cousin get chased... or he'll tell something to Yuri just to add more fuel to the fire." She said shaking her head. She hummed a bit then smiled. "I wonder how Ivy's doing! She was suppose to have some shows coming up!" She couldn't help but get a bit jelouse about Ivy though at times. THe older girl was lead guitar and female vocals in one of the most popular local bands in the school. Asha was keyboard and a the other band members were just people they knew from school.

Tammy opened her eyes wiping a few stray tears from them. She splashed her face with water and stood, ringing out her hair really well since water loved it. She dried off and put her clothes back on. She opened the door as she was putting on her blue choker collar with a bell on it. "I feel a bit better." She said her tail wagging a little as she smiled at Kenji.

Raven smiled a bit and chuckled, shaking his head, "I know, I think we've missed a few of her shows unless they got canceled for some reason. Makes me fel a tad guilty, you know?" He said as he rubbed the back of his head. They had promised Ivy that they wouldn't miss a show...unless something big came up...and he supposed this counted. After all, there wasn't really much they could do at the moment.

Kenji stood up and smiled softly at Tammy, "I'm glad you feel better." He said as he hugged her, running his fingers through her soft, yet fluffy hair. He didn't want to give her false hope about Bessy, but...he wanted to say something that would soothe his mate as well. He sighed heavily when he couldn't think up one, "S...she'll be fine. She's strong willed, from what you've told me, I'm sure she'll make it." He said softly.

Celeste nodded. "I know what you mean. She loves having us all here. And I still am trying to figure out how she talked Vi into doing the outfits for the group.." She said shaking her head. "But I'm so glad she's doing good. I just hope she understands... and they taped them!" she said smiling.

Tammy nuzzled his cheek as she was hugged. She lowered her eyes. "I hope... but we were created, Kenji. There is always the possiblity that our dna will unravel... and she, though very strong willed, has not always been in the best of health." She said softly. "Bessy is like a sister to me but... I would rather see her at peace than in the pain that causes." She said not looking at him. "We both have heard the screams as the doctors take notes on how the other experments react to that situation..."
