An Empty Room

STARRING IN POST: Kiki, Teddy, and Xio
~

Kiki sighed.

"I'm sooooooo bored..." She stretched her arms high above her head and heard her elbows creak and pop. She yawned. "...aaaaaand tired."

After healing a couple of injured Gijinkas and creating that force field she was worn out. But she strangely restless and decided to take a walk. She dropped Teddy at her room after making sure she was alright and before she even stepped out the room, the little Teddiursa was fast asleep. Well it had been a long day.

"I'm bored, bored, bored, bored." Kiki muttered walking down another hallway. "Where the heck is everyone?"

She stopped and did an Developpe, an exercise movement used in ballet. I miss dancing, it feels like I haven't practice ballet in weeks. Well I couldn't practice because I was on the road. But now I'm here I could find a place to dance. Its a big place there has to be a room I can use as a studio.

She returned both feet back on the ground and looked around. "Uhn...now where am I?" Kiki looked down a hall and decided to go that way. She turned a corner and found herself in an unfamiliar hallway. "Hmm...I'll just keep going until I find somebody." She kept walking down hallways and turned corners. Then more hallways and then after what seemed like an hour---

"AAAAHHH!! I'M LOST!!" Kiki yelled flapping her arms frenziedly. "This place is too big! They need to have maps or something!"

She slump down and let her arms sway by her sides. "....*sigh*........hah!" She jumped up and stood straight. "Ah well, this is nothing. At least I'm indoors." With sudden renewed vigor she started skipping down the hallway.

She was humming a random tune and then trip at the threshold of an empty room. "Uh...ow ow ow ow..." She stood up and rubbed her face. "....huh very graceful Kiki.."She muttered and saw the room that she had unintentionally entered. She walked into the room and looked around.

It was fairly big, and completely bare. "Weird what was this used for?" She stopped at the center of the room. "Hmm all it needs is some mirrors and a barre and its a perfect dance studio." Kiki said with a grin.

She stretched and did a swift pirouette. She looked around and smiled. "There's no music but that's fine." She took a deep breath and started to dance.

As she skipped and twirled around the room Kiki felt much better and more alive. Dancing had always been like therapy or meditating to her. She remember what her parents had told her when she was a very young Kirlia. "Its not surprising for Kirlias to enjoy dancing, you see them twirl when they're happy or excited. But you need to train in battle you are a Gijinka and you must learn to protect yourself."

Hmm, Kiki thought leaning far back while raising her hands over her head. I should get back to training like I used to with my old friends. There are a lot of strong fighters here. I don't want to be in the way and end up being the damsel in distress...although I wouldn't mind having a dashing knight to come and rescue me. Kiki thought with a grin.

She dance more, moving to the music in her head since she didn't have real music to dance to. She ended with a curtsy and bowed her head. Then the silence was broken by the sound of applause. Kiki started and turned around to face the door. Ack! I was lost in my head I didn't sense anyone near how embarrassing.

Kiki was surprised to see Xio leaning against the door frame, his clapping had slowed to a stop as Kiki noticed him.

"Um...," Kiki said blinking and then smiled brightly. "Hi."
