@MangaKid:

Reka: I wish I knew...

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *looks surprised* Oh! So his dad only hits his real son? Whats up with that?!

@MangaKid:

Reka: No, that's his real dad, I think... Naoyuki's stepbrother, Ikuo, is adopted, but both his parents are biological.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Yeah, I agree. We definitely need to stick up for him against that guy... Its his step father right?

@MangaKid:

Reka: He's a little too good, to not complain about that guy. *fist clenches*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: No problem, man. Nao is a good kid, I'm sorry he's had to go through this.

@MangaKid:

Reka: *nods* Thanks for offering. We'll probably take you up on that.
*sits back down and starts drinking the Coke*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Yeah, that works. Katara and I are willing to help too, I'm sure... If you ever want to drop him off here or come over.

@MangaKid:

Reka: I know... But I don't know what to do. All I can do is get him out of there as much as I can. His friend, Taki, helps too.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: I know... But he can't stay with his dad when this is happening. *concerned*

@MangaKid:

Reka: If Naoyuki's family gets broken up over this, he's not going to deal well with it.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *lost in thought, then sighs* How should we deal with this? I mean, should we get his dad charged with abuse? or is that not going to work..

@MangaKid:

Reka: *gives a slight, embarrassed smile, but it only lasts a second* Yeah... Usually, I meet his mom when I pick him up. She always lets him come. She must have been working late or something...

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *looking down, nods* No wonder he likes you so much, you're probably like his savior. Its a good thing we got him out today..

@MangaKid:

Reka: Th-Thanks.

*frowns* I had the suspicion ever since I first met him, but the first time I actually saw anything was a bit later. That's why I always try to bring him along with me -- to let him get an escape.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *walks over to him* You look like you got the worst of it today huh? *tries to assist him back to the couch* How long did you know about Nao being- *breaks off sadly*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *sighs with relief* Oh, good. I'm all right. (<-- he says as he props himself up on the wall)

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *stops at the bedroom door, then turns back to Reka* Yeah, they seem to be alright together. At least they're both lying down now.. How about you?

@MangaKid:

Reka: *limps over* Is everything okay?

@kita mikichi:

(Alright!! Goodnight, see u later^^)

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *nods and walks with her*

(Think I'm gonna go for tonight. Goodnight!)

@kita mikichi:

Katara- don't worry lovely...come, will you lead me to bed? *smiles*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *feels her flinch and lets go* S-Sorry!

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *holds back the urge to gasp in pain and hugs him back*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *hugging her* I had a bad dream...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- what's wrong sweetie? *carefully gets down on her knees*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *sees Katara and runs to her*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Darn it, Tara! *hesitates looking at Reka before going after her*

@MangaKid:

Katara- n-Nao! *gets up and rushes to the bedroom*

@MangaKid:

Reka: ...Okay.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *puts his hands up to Reka* Wait, you stay there... I'll get him! *overwhelmed*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: No, you can't. You're going to take it easy too. *lifts her back onto the couch, then hears Nao cry*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *goes to sit down when he hears Naoyuki cry from the bedroom*

@MangaKid:

Reka: Thanks. *goes to sit down when he hears Naoyuki cry from the bedroom*

@MangaKid:

Katara- *determined look* I can handle this.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *assists them both* I'll get her... You can take it easy, Reka.

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *forces her down* You're not getting up. Unless you're going to rest with Nao. And even then, I'll carry you. *looking very concerned*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *shakes her head* I have to take care of you three...I can't rest yet... *stands up*

@MangaKid:

Reka: Help me get her settled... My leg's killing me. *winces*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Your turn to take it easy.

@MangaKid:

Katara- I, guess I pushed myself a bit... *laughs a little*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Tara! *scrambles over to her* Whats wrong?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Sure thing. *pops the can open for him, passing to to him when Katara collapses* Tara!

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Katara! *hurries (limping) to prop her up*

@MangaKid:

Katara- *smiles* I'm glad all is calm right now. *stands up and her knees give out*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *sighs with relief* I'm better now, thanks. I think I will take that Coke you offered earlier, though. (<--doesn't usually drink pop 0.0)

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *laughs slightly* No fair, catching me when I'm vulnerable.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *comes out of the room* Yeah, he's doing good.. how about you?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *lets him go after lightly tugging on his ponytail*

@MangaKid:

Reka (calls softly): Thanks, you guys. Is he okay?

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *takes a deep breath to try to get himself under control* I think I'm okay now... Thanks. *manages a half-smile*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *softly lays him on the bed, making sure he's comfortable before leaving the room quietly*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *hugs Reka* this isn't your fault.

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *squirms a bit, but too exhausted to wake up*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *laughs bitterly* And when my mom would get between us to help me, I always felt awful. *grips his shaking knees* I thought I'd be over this by now... If I was, I could protect Naoyuki better...

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Sure, Tara... *takes Nao gently*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *smiles softly but weakly at him sleeping, taking hims softly from Katara to bring him to the bed*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- we have similar fathers. *smiles*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: It's stupid... I've been in fights before and got hurt way worse, but...that guy is just like my dad... so he scares me... *fist clenches*

@MangaKid:

Katara- *smiles at kaji* will you take him into our bed for me?

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *asleep in Katara's arms*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *reaches over and brushes Rekas cheek* don't worry. I'll protect you too if this happens again.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Ah he was Ikuo, huh.. Wait, if your papa your real father?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *crying himself to sleep again*

Reka: ...*glances furtively at Naoyuki and sees him asleep* (hollowly:) Sorry I'm not being much help. *shaking more*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: No problem. *smiles back and goes over to pull the TV set closer*

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *nods* P-Papa doe-doesn't hit Ikuo...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- shhh, it's ok Nao, this was our choice because we love you. *stroking his hair lovingly* we can help you, listen to kaji... *looks over at reka*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Nao... *tentatively* You want to help your mom, and brother, right?

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki (cries): No, I'm not!

@MangaKid:

Katara- *smiles at Kaji* thank you my dear.

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *feeling a little helpless, gets up and brings out some cokes* Here, people. Let's take it easy by the TV for a bit. We're ok now, we did it.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *About to lay his hand on Nao's shoulder but stops* No, Nao... No way! You're a hero. Come on, lets watch your movie~

@MangaKid:

Katara- I will be ok. *nods, holding Nao close trying to calm him and reka*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *intense gaze* Will you be ok? Are you hurt?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki (crying and hard to hear): ..g-got hurt..tr-to get me...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *gets up and hugs Nao* no no, no it is not. None of this is your fault, don't think for a second it is... *sits by reka with Nao in her arms*

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *sobs and shakes his head*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *tries to stop, but just cries harder* It--It's my fault --

Reka: *sinks back onto the couch, hiding his face and quivering*

@MangaKid:

Katara- will I what????

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *turns to Katara, serious again, quietly* Will you?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *kneels down stiffly* Nao, you're really brave, u know that?

@MangaKid:

Katara- h-hi Nao... *smiles and goes to the couch, careful to not scare nao* don't cry Nao, I took good care of them, they will be a-ok...

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *sees them both hurt and starts to cry*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *turns around to Nao* Hey buddy..

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *alarmed* Katara, are you alright? *stands up* You go sit down ok? No excuses. *serious*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: Reka? *gets up and comes to them*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- I-I'm fine, g-give me a second, stay seated...

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *snaps out of it when he sees her sway* Katara?! *starts to get up and flinches*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *nods, starting to shake again*

@MangaKid:

Katara- don't feel guilty, we are helping now. *continues and gives him the last ice pack and steps back* there...now, everyone is,is ok... *sways*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *looks over to Reka* You saw it happen?

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *winces slightly* Yeah.. *lost in thought*

@MangaKid:

Reka: I wouldn't have known, myself, if I didn't see it happen... (softly) But I guess I should've guessed it earlier...

@MangaKid:

Katara- *starts tending to kaji* we wouldn't have known if he wouldn't have told us...

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Thanks, Katara.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: I had no idea that this was going on in his life...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *proudly smiles* that's all I've ever wanted. Now, we have a few Ice packs. Here's one for you, Nao has one, and a third can go to kaji. *heads over to patch kaji up*

@MangaKid:

Reka: I don't. Naoyuki mentioned him to me.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *smiles a little* That means he trusts you.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Yeah, he pointed the backdoor for us... Do you know him well?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- he was talking normally to me. *smiles*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Rarely. Why do you ask?

@MangaKid:

Reka: You saw his step-brother?

@MangaKid:

Katara- I'll do anything to help them... *to reka* does Nao talk to you in full sentences?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Don't worry about it, man... We'll figure out something.

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Well then, maybe we can get Nao and his mom out... and the other boy..

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Possible, but not guaranteed... and Naoyuki already has trust issues...

@MangaKid:

Reka: I don't know... *winces a little and his hand clenches* ...

@MangaKid:

Katara- not if she is being abused or threatened as well.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- if the father is that abusive, it's possible his mother could be granted full custody...right?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Can't they- *winces* Can't they take his mom as well? Like, what if she's being abused too? She should be stopping this from happening to Nao..

@MangaKid:

Reka: ...If we report that guy on abuse charges, Naoyuki will be taken out of that house. But...Naoyuki doesn't want to be taken away from his mom. That's why...

@MangaKid:

Katara- *gets to work on reka* oh my...ok, bare with me... *cleans his wounds*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: You know, we're gonna be arrested for kidnapping... It doesn't look too good for us. *eyebrows raised worriedly, but laughs it off*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *sits down* Get to Reka first. *wincing*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Okay...

@MangaKid:

Reka: Don't worry about me so much.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- I'll clean you up reka, just sit down and don't strain yourself.

@MangaKid:

Katara- sleeping...*rushes to get the first aide kit* both of you sit.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: H-Hey...

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *stumbles inside with Reka* How's Nao?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: We're going to get you all fixed up. *looking scuffed himself*

@MangaKid:

Katara-*carefully sets Nao down and opens the door* kaji, reka! *steps aside*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *shakily* More or less...

@liveeverysecond:

(Are you here?)

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *calls from out his door* Katara!

@kita mikichi:

(Alright!)

Kaji: *helping Reka along, heading to his apartment* You doing ok buddy?

@MangaKid:

(Katara and Naoyuki are already waiting at Kaji's, so you should probably have them come in there.)

@kita mikichi:

(AH sorry for being so late!!! Dx I didn't see ur reply, but got ur PM! Should I come back in with Kaji heading back to Reka and Nao's dad?)

@kita mikichi:

(No problem!)

@liveeverysecond:

(I'm about to eat. Let's take a break, and maybe MangaKid will be on by the time we get back?)

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *holds Nao and waits anxiously for the boys to get home*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *slowly stops crying and starts falling asleep*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *shocked by how much he is talking* it's ok, it isn't happening anymore, and I won't let it happen to anyone I love.

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: H-He told us you ran away..and that's wh-why you were at his house... *hugs her tightly* I don't like it -- Katara getting h-hit too... *crying harder*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *surprised* he told you what? Oh come here darling...it's ok... *holds him close*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *starts crying at seeing them* K-Kaji told us...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- you're a very smart young man. I understand what's been happing to you, because it happened to me too. *pulls up the back of her shirt a little to show him some scars* this is why I won't let this keep happing. I will protect you nao.

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: ...No.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- Have I ever shown you? Why I'm so protective of you Nao?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *cuddles back and sees her checking her phone*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *puts a blanket over them, cuddles him carefully, and checks her phone nervously*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: Okay. Yup! *nods*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- They are on their way here. *puts her arm around him* How about this one? Do you like Finding Nemo?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *only half paying attention, worried* Um...where are Reka and Kaji?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *smiles* We have netflix, so anything you want. *grabs the remote and sits down next to Nao*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: Thank you. Oh, um... What is there? *trying to eat ice cream with his left hand*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- Ok, 2 big scoops of chocolate it is. *gets a bowl and his ice cream* There you go Nao. How about a movie? What would you like to watch?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: I like chocolate. *starts to smile a little*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- We have vanilla and chocolate, which would you like sweetie?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: Hm..Ice cream?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *patches him up* Would you like some ice cream? How about watching a movie with me? *smiles softly*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *patches him up* Would you like some ice cream? How about watching a movie with me? *smiles softly*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *nods and sniffles*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *grabs an icepack and a sling* It's probably sprained, right now, lets ice it and keep it still for a while so it doesn't swell anymore...

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: My arm hurts... *lower right arm is swollen, but he can move it*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *finishes up* Good boy...Does anything hurt badly? no broken bones?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *wincing, but holding still*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *grabs peroxide and cotton balls* Ok, this might sting...*starts cleaning him up*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: Uh-huh... Thank you...

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *kisses his hand* I need to clean the scratches so they don't get infected, may I clean them darling?

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *tries to wipe his tears, winces when he takes her hand*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *puts her hand out for Nao, not wanting to scare him*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *bruised and scratched-up all over*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *sets Nao on the couch and slowly unwraps him*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *whimpers a bit*

@MangaKid:

(I'm here, if you're available to pick up. ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Katara- good boy...you're going to go to mine and kajis house... *runs home and quickly goes in, locking the door behind her*

(Later!)

@kita mikichi:

(AH ok, I can't wait to continue this another time <3 Goodnight Kita!!!)

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *calls back* Ok! See you there!!

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *grips her sleeve*

(I gotta go!)

@MangaKid:

Katara- I'm running home!!! *takes off with Nao* it's ok Nao...I'm here...

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *nods* Alright, I'll go get Reka then. *staggers out, then hands Nao to Katara and dashes back inside*

@liveeverysecond:

*the boy disappears back into his room*

@MangaKid:

*the boy disappears back into his room*

@MangaKid:

Katara- give me him when we get out. *runs to the door and opens it and looks at the boy sadly*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Thanks man!

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: No way, I'll take Nao, you get the door. *forcefully taking him from her*

@MangaKid:

*A boy peeks down from the stairs* The back door is through the kitchen. *points them ahead*

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *calming down, but still shaking wildly*

*A boy peeks down from the stairs* The back door is through the kitchen. *points them ahead*

@MangaKid:

Katara- *points to a back door* give me Nao, get the door for me!

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *lifting up his side* Darn it, which way should we go?

@MangaKid:

Katara- 3,2,1 wrap him tight... *helps wrap and picks Nao up* come on kaji! *looks for an exit*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Hang on, Reka! We've almost got him.. *sweating from exertion and emotion*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Good idea... *searches for a blanket, and grabs one off the couch* Ready?

@MangaKid:

Reka: *hears Naoyuki screaming* What happened?! -- *gets hit* ACK!

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *hears Naoyuki screaming* What happened?! -- *gets hit* ACK!

@MangaKid:

Katara- get a blanket, maybe if we swaddled him we can carry him out...

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *yanks Katara back* Careful! How are we going to get him out like this? *worried*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *rushes over* This is bad... Nao!

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *flips out when she touches him, going into a panic attack*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *rushes over to Nao* it's ok sweetie...lets get you out of here... *picks him up*

@MangaKid:

Naoyuki: *in a trembling, sobbing ball on the floor near the stairs*

(XD)

@liveeverysecond:

Naoyuki: *in a trembling, sobbing ball on the floor near the stairs*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: You go that way, I'll check over here. *panicked, panting*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *blinks, then takes off inside without another word* Nao, where are you?

(Go Reka Go!! :D)

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *runs into the house* Nao?! Nao come on, we are leaving ok? *searching frantically*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *braces himself and forces his way in to hold Mr. Kondo back*

Mr. Kondo: What do you think you're doing?!! *hitting Reka*

Reka: Go in and get Naoyuki, you guys!!

@MangaKid:

Mr. Kondo: *taken aback but glares back*

Reka: *braces himself and forces his way in to hold Mr. Kondo back*

Mr. Kondo: What do you think you're doing?!! *hitting Reka*

Reka: Go in and get Naoyuki, you guys!!

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *slightly surprised at her determination* I-I will too.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *laughs dryly* Oh yeah? And what about when we tell the police what you've been doing? *challenging glare* Reka, we have to deal with this guy..

@kita mikichi:

Katara- I don't care. *serious* I won't leave without Nao. I'll sleep on the sidewalk in the rain if I have to.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *snaps out of it* No way, you just left the hospital!!

@MangaKid:

Mr. Kondo: You're my problem. If you threaten me again, I'll have you arrested!

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Katara, get out of here, I won't let you get hurt.. *staring at Mr. Kondo aggressively*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *stands between the two* if anyone gets hit here, it's me, got it?! Now I'm not leaving without Nao, let me make that clear. *fearless*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *curses at him, speaking under his breath* Whats your problem?

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *shaking* I'm fine.

@MangaKid:

Mr. Kondo: *glances at Reka* Get off my property.

@MangaKid:

Katara- *shakes kaji off and checks rekas face*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Reka! *steps into the face of Mr. Kondo, angry* You wanna try doing that to me too? *fists ready*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *gulps and grabs Katara's arm, whispering* Tara.. we should take it easy.. I don't want you getting in trouble. *turning to face Mr. Kondo* Sir, like Reka says, we'll make sure he does his homework.. Let him hang out with us for a bit, it'll be good for him.

@liveeverysecond:

Mr. Kondo: Not today.

Reka (to Mr. Kondo): I said, his homework's not a problem, so why not?!

Mr. Kondo: Don't get snappy with me! *slaps Reka across the face*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *furious and pulls up her shirt a bit, revealing her bruises and wounds* I've been in the ICU for a week, and I'm sick of not seeing anyone. I need Nao, now.

@MangaKid:

Reka: *shoves his hands in his pockets, shaking a little* (to Mr. Kondo:) I can make sure he gets his homework done.

Mr. Kondo: Do you not understand 'no'?

@liveeverysecond:

Mr. Kondo: *cocks an eyebrow at her, but scowls* I already said no.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *gives Reka an incredulous look, concerned but stays quiet*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- I just got out of the hospital sir. I would like to see him. *tries to stay calm*

@liveeverysecond:

Mr. Kondo: Well?

Reka (to Mr. Kondo:) Can I borrow Naoyuki for a few hours?

Mr. Kondo (growls): No. He has homework to do.

@MangaKid:

Reka (whispers back): That's his dad.

Mr. Kondo: Well?

Reka (to Mr. Kondo:) Can I borrow Naoyuki for a few hours?

Mr. Kondo (growls): No. He has homework to do.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *glaring intently at the man*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *hisses to Reka* Um, this is where Nao lives?!

@MangaKid:

Reka: *knocks again, harder*

*door opens a crack, and a man looks out*

Mr. Kondo: You again? *sees the others* What do you people want?

@MangaKid:

Reka: *knocks again, harder*

*door opens a crack, and a man looks out*

Mr. Kondo: You again? *sees the others* What do you people want?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *rushes in* Nao?!

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *stands up straight when he hears the commotion* What in the-?

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: I'm a little jealous.. *feigns a sulk*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *knocks on the door, but goes stiff when he hears yelling inside*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *knocks on the door, but goes stiff when he hears yelling inside*

@MangaKid:

Katara- *smiles* yeah...I guess I am.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *nods and waits*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *waiting, leaning against the porch* You're close to these guys huh?

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *leans against the porch* No problem.

@MangaKid:

Reka: You want to wait here a sec'? *starts for the porch steps*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: You're welcome.

Uh.. You want to wait here a sec'? *starts for the porch steps*

@MangaKid:

Katara- thanks reka! *smiles at kaji*

@MangaKid:

Reka: *stops* Here we are.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: H-Hey!! >.< *messes up her hair* Anyway, Hikari's hanging out with his friend and his friend's sister today. I'll tell him 'hi' for you.

*stops* Here we are.

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *following them, watching, smiling*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *smiles* good, I've missed him, and hikari, and you too ponytail. *tugs playfully on his ponytail*

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: His house isn't that much farther. *leads them for a bit*

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *lets him go and laughs awkwardly* yeah...I guess you're right...

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Why would you ask that? Of course, he still likes you! -- By the way, maybe I oughtta be showing you the way. *chuckles*

@MangaKid:

Reka: Don't worry about it too much.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- do you think he still likes me reka?

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *laughs, and is dragged*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: I understand.. *sighs* I'm sorry it I alarmed him tho.

@MangaKid:

Katara- *blushes a bit* oh you know what I mean!!! *continues dragging them*

@MangaKid:

Reka: I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Naoyuki just.. *scratches head* ..has some trust issues.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: I'd like to be friends with him, but I guess I sort of started out on the wrong foot. *sheepish look*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Ok, ok, we're coming! *smirk* I didn't know Nao was your baby.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *being dragged* Woah!!

@MangaKid:

Reka: Yeah. *smiles a bit*

@MangaKid:

Katara- yes I'm coming!!! I haven't seen my baby nao in a very long time! *grins at reka* come on! Lets go!!! *drags both boys along*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *nods* He's a nice kid..

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: *shaking off his blush* I guess ur gonna come along with us?

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Yeah, it seems like it's been forever.

@kita mikichi:

Katara- I haven't seen my nao in a long time...

@MangaKid:

Reka: *chuckles a little* I guess a bit of both.

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: *smiles back* He should be at home about now.

@MangaKid:

Katara- hey, boy. Not much. *smirks*

@liveeverysecond:

Kaji: Hey, girl. Whats up?

(Yay ur here too! Oh Chi made another RP above this one that Kita and I are in as well, I'm sure u can join too if u like <3)

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: So, you babysit him? or just hang out?

@kita mikichi:

Katara- *smiles* I'm good, I couldn't help over hearing, where is Nao?

@liveeverysecond:

Reka: Hey, Katara! How are you?

(Glad you could make it. ^^)

@MangaKid:

Reka: *highfives back* He should be home from school. Yeah, I try to.

Katara- hello boys...

(Hiya! Sorry I'm late >.<)

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *highfives* So about Nao... where is he right now? do u always pick him up?

@MangaKid:

Reka: We did. ^-^ *chuckles a bit*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: OH! Nice, bet you beat them pretty good. *winks* Too bad I wasn't around to join ya..

@MangaKid:

Reka: Haha, not really. ^^' It's just complicated to go into detail. In a nutshell, me and my team scuffled with a couple bad guys.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *smirk* Ooo something secretive eh? *raises his eyebrow*

@MangaKid:

Reka: S-Sure. Oh, um... It's kinda hard to explain. *laughs a little*

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: Can I come with you? *falls in beside him* You look pretty worn out, what type of job was it?

@MangaKid:

Reka: Oh, hi Kaji. I just got back from a job. *scratches the back of his head* I'm on my way to pick up Naoyuki now.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *notices him and calls out* Reka! Hows it going?

@MangaKid:

Reka: *walking along a little roughed-up, in a hurry*

Kaji: *whistling as he walks along*

(Hey Kita!! Glad u are online <3
I might bring in Lucian later if he fits^^)
