Included: Xio, Kiki, Rosie, Lux, Lydia, Tanner, Shupple, and Estelle

-Xio-

This mansion has grown dull after being here for some time. I have grown bored as I waited to here some news; the sun was beginning to set as I sat on the top of the mansion roof.

"What the hell should I do now?" I yawned as I watch the sunset. It was a very uneventful day for me. Actually, I just laid back and slept most of it to regain my strength from the previous morning but still. I was extremely jaded.

As I sat there, I thought about many things such as my dance with Kiki. She was so much like Lydia, and yet I found her the most interesting of all the idiots I have met here, yet, she still wasn’t the brightest. But, nevertheless, I wanted to know more about her because she was my ticket into this retched mansion. I only need to really befriend a few and use them as my pawns to get what I want. I will use them by any means necessary. All these gijinkas, were merely pieces of my chessboard and I would sure move one to get closer to victory, regardless of what consequences they faced, I cared little about anyway.

After what Lydia went through, I at the very least could spend some of my time with Kiki I suppose, I guess I should call it redemption for what I never had the chance to say or do with Lydia. It has been 15 years since I saw that woman, and seeing her, in a sense, reincarnated inside Kiki was peculiar to me. It made me very engrossed in her and yet I hated that idea that I wanted to see her more. How bothersome.

Off in the distance I noticed that same Roselia woman from before running towards this filthy place. She stopped at what seemed to be a passed out Shupple, strange, it had appeared she wasn't technically there in her body, like her essence was gone momentarily. I could feel it.

Out of inquisitiveness, I zoomed in with my hearing from the roof and listened to the conversation between these characters named Tanner, Estelle, and Rosie. Oddly enough, Lux was in the hospital due to some injuries and won't be back for a while, and then she made her way in.

A sly smirk came to my face as I stared off into the distance. This was the perfect opportunity for me to meet more of these people who live here and possibly grow a relationship. With Lux out of the way, there is no way he could stop me and I need to have a positive influence on them so I could stay.

Lifting my front legs up from their dangling position I did a back summer-salt and stood back up and jumped onto the balcony standing on the railing. Suddenly, all at once I began seeing images like Lux torturing and killing himself, I saw images of bloodshed from our past, the strong fire that was destroying our village, and the Rydon standing over me as my father’s body laid brutally mangled on me.

I became light headed and dizzy, as I fell off the railing and tripped onto the door, as it swung open. I was huffing as the screams of my friends were running through my head. Why was I seeing this?

“Xio….please….don’t watch….don’t watch Xio….please…” It was Lydia, she was crying. No, not again. Not again. I won’t let it happen again. “Please Xio, close your eyes for me…close them….”

I grabbed my face as I stumbled onto the bed in a cold sweat. The room itself was a bit warm and steamy, possibly from a bath. I tossed over onto my back holding my heart as those horrible marks appeared once again. I felt great pain in my chest and I coughed for air…

“Close your eyes Xio….*hic hic*….please close them…don’t watch…” Lydia please stop….don’t say that…I am stronger then that. I won’t lose…

I was growing tired and from being so giddy my eyes began to feel heavy. I tried to keep them open as much as possible but my strength was drained once again as I drifted into a slumber. I closed my eyes for her…

-END-

Another peak at his past. And who is Lydia? Hmmmm….I don’t know and what happened to her? Again, that’s to be determined. *grins*

Well it would appear he fainted in Rosie’s room, *purs* how sexy is that? Hehehe…now to see what happens….

End
