Tanner
As we finished up the dining room and attached glass pieces to glass pieces, making sure everything was absolutely sparkling, I couldn't help but wonder about Lunette and her own personality. She seemed bubbly and cute, but also serious and contained. Weird how I see that and I have a whole other person inside of me. Huh. Whatever I guess...
"Can I help you with anything?" Lunette asked me as my hair curled around and I started attaching pieces together carefully and putting nails into the wall so that the glass would stay this time.
"Um... Maybe you could hold nails?" I asked her with a smile and she nodded and took the nails from my hair and held them in her hand.
"That works for me," Lunette smiled. "Tell me if you need anything else, okay? I used to help my sister like this all the time at home," Lunette told me with a smile and that made me wonder more. She was really interesting...
"Your family sounds interesting. What are they like, your siblings?" I asked her with a smile but her smile dropped a bit. Maybe I shouldn't have brought anything up at all... It seemed like a touchy subject.
"Umm... Well, you could say that I have a lot of older siblings and we helped run the shop for our... father... What about you?" Lunette asked, clearly wanting to change the topic over to me and I paused for a second in my work. I thought back to the day that it happened. When my parents were murdered right before my eyes. Did I feel anything then? Or did I not? I couldn't remember...
"They..." I swallowed as I took a deep breath. Nobody knew about this. "They died in a Team Rocket facility with me. I saw them get killed, so it doesn't really matter much... but our clan still lives on..." I told her simply with letting a huge gush of hair out afterwards and focusing on the matter at hand. I shouldn't think like that... That only led to... him.
"Oh, I'm sorry for bring up such a heavy topic for you. Forgive me." I just nodded with a small smile on my face.
"It's fine, Lunette. You asked so I answered," I told her with a small smile and concentrated on the last few pieces of glass that I was merging together.
"Oh, alright then. It just reminds me that I'm not so blood-related to my siblings, but I love them like family... Do you want me to help with the hammering?" I noticed it was just a question out of the blue but she was probably getting tired of holding nails and giving them to me one by one. I couldn't blame her...
"Sure," I told her, which reminded me of Shupple. Where was she anyways? I think she might have said something about the Lux character, but I wasn't so sure. "I have a friend just like that. I consider her to be my little sister and I love her dearly. She's like a sibling to me also," I told Lunette as I gave her a hammer from my hair and she started to help.
"Amazing how siblings make you think, huh?" Lunette said with a small smile. "Do you mind if we get onto another subject?" I knew she was desperately not wanting to talk about her siblings, so I didn't mind changing topic.
"Sure, I don't mind... What do you think of Lupe-bunny, Lunette?" I asked while I concentrated on the matter at hand, just merely bringing up topic. Lunette made an almost frustrated look but calmed herself.
"She's an interesting character, I'll give her that," Lunette smiled, it seeing like that was the only thing she was able to come up with.
"Has she given you a room yet to stay here?" I asked and she stopped hammering once I finished up the last nail and handed the hammer to me.
"No, not yet. I really do hope to stay here in the future, though. Maybe you can have me find her, since she ran off?" Lunette asked and that's when I noticed that she did. Huh. I think I heard her scream something about a maid just a few minutes ago, but I honestly didn't care.
"Sure, but how about I show you around the house first? Then we can get to your room," I told her with a smile.
"Sure," Lunette told me with a beautiful smile and that's when I attached everything back into my hair and noticed somebody new entered through the kitchen holding a small rose.
“CHII!”
“NEKO BOOOOY! 8D” Nyarth ran up to the guy named Chii and hugged him and Chii hugged him back. “What are you all doing here?”
“Lupe sent us cleaning--this place was trashed, Nya!” Nyarth shrugged.
“Just you guys? That’s a lot of work!” He almost seemed like a joke. Honestly, I never would have thought a guy besides me would act this way. Okay...
“Why hello there, I’m Chii the Chinchou!” Chii came over to us and nodded and then looked at me. “You are?” Seemed like a nice guy anyways.
“My name is Tanner, nice to meet you.” I nodded to him.
“And you, lovely lady?” It seemed like Lunette didn't like the compliment or the wink because she grimaced. “Lunette.” She said simply. “Are you here to work, too, Chii?”
“OH! Help? I would love to--but... Where did Lupe go?” Chii asked us with a confused look. I shrugged. I honestly didn't care where the bunny went.
“She told us to get started cleaning the mansion and left. Shola was here too but Lupe kinda pissed her off.” It was true. I don't think Shola really liked it here. It was actually kind of obvious that she didn't like Lupe... She loathed her and well... I couldn't help but feel the same way.
“I see.”
“Will you help us, Chii?? Please???” Nyarth begged him and I guess he couldn't help but give into him. Chii hurried to put the flower in the vase and then came back to us.
"Alright!" Chii struck a pose. "Let's get this done! Lupe will be soo happy~"
"Great, then let's get started on the hallways!" I was glad we were getting somewhere with this place anyways.
"Hopefully we'll pick up more people to help on our way," Lunette sighed. I guess she wasn't having that much of fun. "This is a lot of work for four people."
"You're telling me ^^'' " And the we began our descent down the hallways until we came to an empty looking room that was filled with nothing and started to fix up the hole in there.
Just as we got about halfway through, Shola came back to us.
"Uh, hey," Shola walked in and Nyarth smiled, happy that she was back.
"Nya! Shola-chan!" Nyarth ran over to her and she tried for a smile though it wasn't entirely working.
"Sorry about earlier. I wasn't feeling well. Blame the ramen. I think I'm fine now." I could tell she had needed a break from Lupe. Anybody needs a break from the loco-bunny.
That's when I heard running footsteps and my hair crunched up. Another dark aura just as big as mine when I was crazy? Interesting... It was a Luxray that was holding a Pikachu, clearly broken in half including her neck and the Luxray actually beat up. The blood... Oh, not again...
“SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME MY GOD PLEASE!!!” he yelled. “I NEED A DOCTOR!!! SHE NEEDS HELP!” And it was a little bit obvious with the amount of dirt he had on himself that he was lying. But still... the Pikachu...
“Are you okay? What happened?” I asked as I ran over to him, dropping all of my tools, and he looked up at me teary eyed as I looked at them both. Even I knew a guy wouldn't cry that much, but I was still worried in the least.
“Oh god it was horrible…” He wiped away a few fake tears. “I was in the pool with her and all of a sudden she snapped. Everything went black and oh my god, it was beyond any words. I can’t even describe the horrific scene.”
Sounds bloody...
“She snapped?” Damn, I was starting to hear my other voice. Yay. I covered my face quickly so that nobody could see the change in eye color I was getting, and tried to cover the grin. “Is…..is that so???” I asked, my grin growing bigger and I had to move a bit away.
I didn't hear much of what happened afterwards as I fought with myself, deciding what to do.
Come on, Tanner... Let's start the party around here and crack our head open... We can see what people think of us then...
God, dammit, no... I don't want people thinking of me as the other Gijinka that's gone crazy...
Come on... Just one time...
NO!
“Tanner, do you think you can help Xio and this girl?" That made me look up and slowly break my trance. How was that Lunette did that? Maybe the concern and worry in her voice did... but that's never really happened before...
“Why? The damn loud mouth is better gone anyway!” I heard Shola say and right away that distracted me. Damn bunny.
“NYA Lupe isn’t that bad!” Nyarth exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.
“Tch, the bunny is too bossy Nyarth, and Shola is right!” I moaned as I leaned back a bit with my hands behind my head. “Better then be gone then here.” And then I remembered the other task at hand with Xio, I think I heard it right.
“Ah yeah sure no problem.” I stood up, ready to help but Xio declined.
“Thank you for your kindness, but, I think it is best that I do this myself.” Xio said kindly, which was kind of weird since he had asked for help and then declined. “I don’t want anyone to else to get dirty or covered in blood, so I will be on my way. Thanks for your help.” I helped him up then and he left almost immediately. That was a powerful aura and a good act... Hm. Idiot.
Once we got to working again, we finished up quicker than most of us expected. It wasn't that big of a hole.
"It's done," Shola said as she wiped the sweat off her brow. "Now, I heard something about a pool..." We all started to exclaim about how it would be nice to have a break.
We started heading to the pool but before I got there, I felt a tug on my sleeve and I turned around and saw Lunette.
"Can we go to the kitchen? I'm kind of thirsty and this place is a little confusing," Lunette told me with a small, confused smile and I smiled back at her and led her to the kitchen. My eyes probably looked gray right now... Great... They probably turned half black while I blanked out and faded almost immediately... God, I hope so.
"Sure," I told her as we got to kitchen and I got a glass of water and handed it to her as she drank it and I just sat on the table.
That Xio was an interesting character... Huh... I knew my other side would have fun with that fight in my mind...

Hope that was okay with you, Vdr-chan! The chat seems similar, no? lol XD :D Tell me if I got anything wrong :) Figured I should've updated with Tanner since I updated with Shupple :)
