@ChiPolVee:

(You're welcome, and thank you! See you later! ^^)

@kita mikichi:

(Thank you for being so understanding with me~ You're a wonderful RPer~ See you later~ Thank you for this~)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *surprised, reddens a little, but hugs back* You're welcome. Goodnight, Gabriella. *leaves once she's inside*

(Thanks for wrapping this up with me. ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I'll be up and ready to go. Goodnight Reka. See you tomorrow. Oh! *lightly hugs him and kisses his cheek* Thank you so much for that. It was nice to get away from all this. *turns* Night Reka. See you tomorrow~ *and heads into the building*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *smiles sympathetically* I know how you feel.

*They're in front of the apartment now* All right. I guess we'll meet up here, at around 7 tomorrow morning?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *rubs the back of her neck* ... I guess I know what that feels like... I never lived with my real family but I would have liked too... I wouldn't have wanted to leave them, even if they hurt me... But I can't forgive that man... I love Nao so much... He shouldn't suffer...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *nods and smiles somewhat* Good. The thing is, Naoyuki doesn't want to leave his parents' house. He wants to be with his family... He doesn't talk to me about it, but I think he was separated from them until recently.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Its fine Reka, take care of Nao, he matters most to me.... I'm fine and Luke is helping me... Life is certainly starting to look brighter~ *smiles softly* I'll be okay~ *then frowns* I wish I could do more for Nao...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *walks with her* I'm glad for you. That you were able to find a place with someone you know. *gives her a smile, which fades*

Sorry I wasn't much help...with Naoyuki's dad. Under other circumstances, I wouldn't have held back. But...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I'm fine to walk alone, but okay~ It's over this way~ *walks down toward an apartment complex* Its really not that far. And yes, I live with Luke... he took me in after Isaiah died... I'm very grateful to him for that...

@ChiPolVee:

(Okay, no problem!)

Naoyuki: Night!

Taki: *waves*

Reka: You're staying with Luke? Let me walk with you. Wouldn't be right to let you go it alone at night. Plus, that way, I'll know where to pick you up tomorrow morning... around 7?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay night! Love you Nao~ *then stands up and smiles at Reka* I'm going to head home too, Luke probably wonders where I've been all day~ So I'll see you tomorrow? Where do you want to meet in the morning and when?

(Hey, I gotta go for a little, I'll be back later~ Sorry darling...)

@ChiPolVee:

(I'm back! Sorry if I took too long! >.<)

Taki: Aww, that's so sweet! He's like my little brother too! *grins*

Naoyuki: *laughs and hugs Gabriella* Okay! See you tomorrow. *^^*

Mr. Soejima: Have a good night -- and go home safely!

*Taki and her dad take Naoyuki into the house*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Hello Taki~ I'm Nao's older sister figure~ That's why he lets me do this~ Right Nao~? *snuggles him a little then kisses his cheek and puts him down* Have fun love~ I'll see you tomorrow? *kneels down to hug him*

@ChiPolVee:

Taki: Nice to meet you, Gabriella! My name is Taki Soejima. *bows quickly* Nope, he didn't say anything, I can just tell. ^^ Naoyuki doesn't let just anybody pick him up like that.

Naoyuki: Hi, Taki. ^^

(I'm going to have to leave in a bit. Should be back in about half an hour, though.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Hello~ My name is Gabriella~ I brought Nao here to play~ *smile* Did Reka tell you?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *nods* Okay.

*a man and a girl come to the door*

Reka: Hello.

Mr. Soejima: Hello!

Taki: Hi, guys! *sees Gabriella holding Naoyuki* Someone has a new friend! *^^*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *walks to the door, holding Nao, then kisses his forehead* If you need anything, call Reka and he'll come get me, okay honey? *gently knocks on the door*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *hugs and cuddles back*

Reka: *calls Naoyuki's mom briefly, then hangs up and pulls something from his pocket, and they're back on Earth, in front of a house* This is Naoyuki's friend's house.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Bye! *waves, picks up Nao, cuddles him softly then smiles* Ready when you are Reka~

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi & Daisuke: See you tomorrow!

Reka: *smiles* All right, let's go. *picks up Naoyuki and gives him to Gabriella*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Thanks boys~ I'll see you all later~ *smiles and nods to Reka* Ready when you are darling~ *holds her arms out for Nao* May I carry him though? I'll drop him off, I just want to hold him for a little...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *nods* Yup, tomorrow morning. You can help with the kids tomorrow.

Daisuke: Which means you can play soccer with us! :D

Reka: *retrieves Naoyuki from the office* Ready whenever you are. *smiles awkwardly* I'll call Mrs. Kondo and drop Naoyuki off at his friend's house while we're at it.

@kita mikichi:

(Its fine~ Thank you!)

Gabriella: *smiles at Daisuke* I can't wait! It'll be a lot of fun~ *then nods to Shuichi* Oh thank you~ I'll see you tomorrow in the morning then? I'll work whenever Reka does, he's my ride~ *bows softly and scurries to Reka* Hey love, ready to head home?

@ChiPolVee:

(My turn to apologize! I'm sorry, I wasn't able to get back on last night! BUT! I do have a new ref of Kita for you!!)

Woman & kids: *wave* / Bye-Bye!

Daisuke: Yup, sure do! Reka and Shuichi love the game, too. ^^ Sure, that'd be fun!

Shuichi: *comes out of the office* Looks like there are only a couple kids still here besides our over-nighters. We're about to switch to night shift, so you can call it a day, Gabriella. Thanks for your hard work!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *to the kids and the lady* Bye bye! Have a safe time home darlings~ *then smiles at Daisuke* You play soccer Daisuke? How cute~ Hey, can I join you and the kids sometime?

(Okay~ I'll try to be here then~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Woman: *smiles* Yes, I will. Thank you.

*two little kids prance up to their mom, laughing*

Daisuke: Have a safe trip home! (to the kids:) See you two tomorrow! ^^

Kids: Play more soccer with us tomorrow, okay? / Bye-Bye!

(Hi! I'm just about to leave for dinner. But I'll try to come back for a bit after, and hopefully we can wrap up. ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Daisuke will grab the kids and in the meantime can you please sign them out? Thank you ma'am~ *smiles sweetly*

(Yup, I'm here for a little now~ If you would like to wrap this up~)

@ChiPolVee:

Daisuke: Yup, everybody but the overnight crew. *nodding and smiling as she greets the woman* (She's a natural at this.)

Woman: Hello! I'm here to pick up my two kids. *smiles*

Daisuke: *goes to get her kids*

(No problem! If you're not busy today, we can wrap up after this lady leaves?)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Alright~ Once the kids are gone we leave? *smiles at the lady* Welcome~ How can I help you today?

(I'm so sorry I wasn't here, you can close this if you want to now~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Daisuke: We take turns greeting people at the door. ^-^ It's the time a lot of parents come in and get their kids, so we need to keep an eye out. ^^b -- Here comes another one!

*a lady comes in this time*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: So it this your job Daisuke? I'm here to help you out here now~ So tell me what I can do~ *smiles warmly*

(Morning!)

@ChiPolVee:

Man: Yes, thank you. *signs the sheet*

Rin: Bye-bye! ^^ ~<3

Man: Thank you, you too.

Daisuke: You're welcome. ^^

(Night! ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay, just sign her out while he goes to get her~ Thank you~ *smiles at the little girl* You have a good night now~ See you again soon sweetie~ *smiles at the man* Take care sir~ Come again~ *then smiles at Daisuke* Thanks for the help love~

(One more comment! NIGHT!)

@ChiPolVee:

Daisuke: *standing by to help*

Man: Yes, I'm here to pick up Rin.

Daisuke: *goes and comes back with a little girl*

(Okay! You had said you wouldn't be on today, so I'm glad we got to do this little bit. Goodnight! ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: ... Okay. *scurries out of the office looking lost and nervous but finds her way to the center and scurries over to the person that came it* H-hello! Are you here to pick someone up? *smiles politely, but still nervous*

(I'm going to bed soon, the concert today whipped my tail... I'm sorry love! I'll be on tomorrow for sure! Night! Sweetest dreams my you be having~)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: If the kids whip your butt, you tell them you'll call quiet time. *laughs* It sounds like somebody's coming in. Please go and have them sign their child out. Daisuke will give you a hand if you need it.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I don't mind doing anything to help~ Shuichi I work here now, I'll do anything you tell me to boss~ *winks* And kids might whip my butt if I got out there~ *smiles softly* So do you need anything?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: What can I say? Gotta be meticulous with this stuff. ^^ It's pretty much the end of the day, and all the high-priority work is finished. If you want to go out in the playroom with the kids, go ahead. ^^ And thanks for helping out in here today.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: You really love paper work don't you? *suffling through doing all that he asked for* Can I do anything else? Like I mean, do you want me to do anything else?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: We've got some paperwork that needs to be put into envelopes and stamped to be mailed out. *shows her a folder of forms and things* The envelopes and stamps are in the cabinet under the desk.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Oh good, I like being able to keep an eye on him... *smiles at Shuichi* If you say so lovely~ So what's my job?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Don't be silly. *laughs* Anyway, Reka's going to bring him back to the office in a minute.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods* As long as he's safe. *smirks at Shuichi* Trying to keep me with you, in your office, all to yourself~? *giggles a little*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Yup, a couple forms and things. Oh, he's with Reka at the moment.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods to Shuichi* When you are sir... *smiles sweely at him* More paperwork for me? Where's Nao?

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Thank you. Now we won't need to worry. *smiles kindly*

Shuichi: Ready to go back to work?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *looks away, trying to hide she's upset, then nods, defeated* Okay, thank you ma'am... But really you don't have to worry about me... I'm fine... *takes them anyway*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Take this just to be safe. All right, dear?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Shuichi, I'm fine~ Do I look unhealthy or anything to you? Thank you for worrying about me... but you don't have to. I'm okay~ *smiles at him*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima (to Shuichi): You asked her to pick these up?

Shuichi (to Mrs. Furu): Yes, Gabriella said she hasn't been eating properly, so...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Told you~ Full of energy~ *smiles sweetly* So why did we need Shuichi?

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: That was fast!

Shuichi: *comes in a second later*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay~ *scurries back* Shuichi, Mrs. Furujima asks you come to her office with me~ Pretty please~ *scurries back to the office, not waiting for Shuichi*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Yes, you do seem to be. *chuckling a little* Well, have Shuichi come in here, and we'll see what to do.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Yeah but I'm fine... I'm full of energy! Just look at me~ *bouncing about happily* See~?

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Yes, you'll be doing a job, right?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Wait... for me? *confused*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Oh, no. *laughs a little* I'm just the nurse. I've been doing this for a while. *smiles and gives her come pills* Here you are. It's basically just a vitamin pill. It should perk you right up.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Um, um! Are you like the mom here? You're so cool! I really like you ma'am! *holds out her hand for the things*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: You're welcome, dear. *smiles* (<--amused)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: What? You know by what I said what he's looking for? You're amazing ma'am! Thank you~ *smiles warmly*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: All right, I'll give you something that will give you energy, then.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Um... because I asked him to give me a job ma'am... I should have asked for better instructions... I'm so sorry...

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Can you tell me why he asked you to pick one up?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Um, I uh... I... I don't know ma'am... *drops her head* I'm so sorry... I can go back and a-ask if you want... *heads toward the door, ashamed*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: A vitamin or mineral supplement? For whom?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *carefully entered* Um, hello ma'am, Shuichi sent me here to pick up a supplement or something... I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what he meant... *smiles shyly at her*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Come in! What can I do for you, dear?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods happily and scurries off to Mrs. Furujima's office, knocking gently on the door* H-hello ma'am.... Can I come in...?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: ... Go to Mrs. Furujima's office and get a supplement, okay? Then I'll have you come back in the office with me.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: ... I haven't eaten in about two day... I'm sorry Shuichi... I just don't have an appetite anymore... *pokes her food again, then shakes it off and and smiles at him* No need to worry Shuichi love~ Is there anything I can do? Please, I want to be busy please. Please.

@ChiPolVee:

*Reka & Shuichi exchange worried glances*

Shuichi: Is that all you've eaten today?

*phone rings in the office*

Toshiro: *already running there* Got it!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *looks away from Shuichi* ... I don't have... *sighs, defeated* Yes sir... *pokes a sandwich, looking at it sadly, a wave of emotions washing over her* .... *slowly tries to eat the sandwich and hardly gets through half before she puts it down* I'm done....

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *sits next to Gabriaella & Naoyuki*

Shuichi (sternly): Eat. That's an instruction from an employer.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *giggles at Reka* It's only because I love you Reka~ *winks then shakes her head at Shuichi* No... I have no appetite... I haven't for awhile now. I'll be good. Thank you though darling~ *smiles then ruffles Nao's hair* Good to hear~ You enjoy it~

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *face turns red as hair*

Shuichi (to Reka): I think she's serious.

Reka (to Shuichi): Shut up! >///<

Naoyuki: It's good. ^^

Shuichi: Want a sandwich too? *offers*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *snuggles Reka, smiling brightly* I can't wait to meet this girl~ I'm going to pick on you shamelessly~ *kisses his cheek then sits next to Nao again* Is lunch good love? *hasn't eaten anything yet*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Hey!! >///< Knock it off!

Naoyuki: *laughs*

Shuichi (to Reka): Haha, admit defeat, Reka, she got you. ^^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *pokes Reka's cheek* Reka's in love~ Reka's in love~ Reka and Toki sitting in a tree~ *giggles happily then just smiles at him* Kidding~ Kidding~ I'm more mature than that~ ... Kidding! K. I. S. S. I. N. G! *gets some kids to join in while she hugs Reka, messing up his hair*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Okay -- Wait, what? ^^||

Shuichi: *snickers at them*

Naoyuki: Thank you! *^^*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: When you're done herding children Reka, come sit by me please~ I need to harass you about liking someone~ *smiles at Nao and snatches a sandwich for him* There you are love~ *wink*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *doing crowd control while the kids go into the kitchen*

Naoyuki: Uh-huh.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *leans and calls out to the main area* Kiddies~ It's food time~ Come eat~ *smiling brightly as she sits next to Nao* Hungry?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: You can call the kids in. Everything's ready. ^-^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Thank you Nao~ *finishes filling the cups and smiles at Shuichi* Anything else?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *nods happily and gets up to help*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Yup! *sets Nao in a chair and grabs the juices* Want to help me Nao? *smiles at him* If you hold the cups, we can go even faster~ *starts pouring the drinks*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *hugging her as she carries him*

Shuichi: *making sandwiches with Toshiro* Ah, welcome back. ^^ We've already set some cups out. *points to the table* Want to grab some juice from the fridge and fill them up?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Good boy~ *kisses his forehead and picks him up* Lunch time love~ *carries him into the kitchen* Shuichi, we're here for food~ Well I'm here to help really~ *smiles brightly at him*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *nods and takes the medicine*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *sits down holding Nao and pulls out his meds, holding the spoon out to him* Here darling, eat up~ *smiling softly at him*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *laughs and cuddles back* Okay.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *resisting all urge to cuddle him* T-time to wake up cutie~ Come here~ *picks him up and cuddles him* Forget it! You're so cute! Ah! I can't even! I love you! *cuddle cuddle* Ehm. Sorry about that. It's lunch time now love. Time to go~ And you need more meds... sorry...

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *stirs and gets up, coughing a little* (<--has a cute bed-head)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *glances at Shuichi then walks into the office to see Nao* Nao baby, are you awake? It's almost lunch time honey, and you need to take your meds again...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: ...*watches her go, concerned* (whispers:) It's not okay.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *waves her hands in front of her face* No no no, it's really okay, I watched my whole family die. This is nothing! D-don't worry! I'm... I'm totally fine! I'm gonna go check on Nao! *starts to scuttle away*

(Bed... me... now... you know the rest... Sorry good night, we'll continue tomorrow! Sweet dreams, I <3 you~ <3 Night!)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *suddenly turns toward her* No, no, don't bottle that up. It can be even harder to deal with something like that... Reka and I have been through it too, so we know.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Nah, I'm alright... It's nothing I haven't been through.... *her words die and she just looks at the ground* I'm just trying to get over someone's death... its not as bad as being paralyzed... *shakes her head* Need any help?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *surprised at the hug* Thank you. *hugs back* If there's something bothering you, don't be scared to talk about it. *starts gathering things to make lunch*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *gets up and walks over to him* I'm glad you're here and happy... *hugs him softly*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: I got a spinal injury and could barely move my legs. For a little while, I thought I'd never be able to walk again, and I got depressed easily. If my parents and friends hadn't been there to help me out and take my mind off things...well, who knows how I'd've ended up.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Handicapped? *tilts her head* Please tell me... I'm interested now. *smiles sweetly at him*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Mn. I know what you mean. Would you believe it if I told you that a bit over a year ago, I was handicapped?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: ... Sorry... it's nice to be busy... keeps my mind off of things... *reluctantly sits down in the kitchen* Not doing things makes me think... and thinking is bad...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: It's important to take a break once on a while, too, you know. But do what you like. *Starts for the kitchen* (calls to Reka:) Can you keep an ear out for the phone?

Reka (calls back:) Sure!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Want help cooking? *following at his heels like a puppy* I'm a pretty good cook! I don't want to stop working... I like work...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Good work! Go ahead and take a break. It's almost lunch time, after all. *stretches* Speaking of which, I'll take care of cooking this time. I need to take a break from this chair, myself.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Yes sir! *scurries about doing anything Shuichi asks of her without question, pausing every so often but continuing like nothing happened*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: These here are our rough inventory and spending records. Could you double-check them and copy the finalized information into this book? Also, can you run off a fresh copy of the sign-in sheet? The one by the door is almost full.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *kisses his forehead and lays him down then goes over to Shuichi* So what now love? What can I do?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *humming along a bit without realizing it, then falls asleep*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *picks him up and cradles him close, still singing, but slightly louder*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *hugs onto her arm and smiles*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay, I love you Nao~ *sits next to him and starts to sing her lullaby softly, petting his head gently*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: I thought you might. I don't mind at all if you sing.

Naoyuki: *nods*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Yeah, I would like to stay close to Nao anyway... *looks over at him* Do you want me to sing for you Nao? *smiles sweetly* If Shuichi doesn't mind~

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: All right, I'll have you help out in the office today, and you can work with the kids next time. ^-^ *glances at Naoyuki* You look tired. You can go back to sleep; we'll both be right here.

Naoyuki: *nods and curls up on the cot*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Oh I see... *smiles at Shuichi* I'll do whatever you tell me to do~ *smiles* You're my boss after all~ *wink*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: Yes, Daisuke -- he's the same age as Reka. *smiles* (to Shuichi:) Well, then, I'll go and settle in. *excuses herself*

Shuichi: What would you like to do? Would you like to stay in the office, or go into the play room with the kids?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *just sits and watches the little event, watching Nao too* You have a son ma'am?

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: All right, then. I just got off my shift at the hospital and thought to check in here and drop off my son.

Shuichi: *hangs up* (to Mrs. Furujima:) Hello. Daisuke's here too?

Mrs. Furujima (to Shuichi): Yes, he's helping out in the play room.

Shuichi (to Mrs. Furujima): Thank you! for coming. It doesn't look like we have any bruises yet, and Naoyuki's doing fine...

Naoyuki: Wanted to see what you were doing.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods happily* Mmhm~ I'm good~ Don't worry~ What are you doing here ma'am? Oh! Hey Nao! What are you doing here sweetie?

@ChiPolVee:

(By now, Naoyuki's back in the office, curiously watching)

Shuichi: *on the phone again, with a parent*

*Mrs. Furujima peeks in* Hello. *smiles* *notices Gabriella holding her stomach* Are you all right, dear?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay! That I can do! *goes to work right away, working without complaints, every once in awhile she holds her stomach but goes right back to work* And.... done! *smiles proudly* What now?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *picks up an open file to show her* These are the old emergency contacts and parent forms. The updated ones are in a pile here. *puts his hand on some papers on the desk* If you could just switch the old ones with the new ones, that would be a great help. The files are alphabetical by surname.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Of course sir-Shuichi! *begins to sort papers but gets a little lost* Wait... what goes where...? I'm sorry... I'm... I don't get it... *holding up some of the papers, examining them intently*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi (on the phone): Okay. Yup, I understand... See you later. *hangs up* (to Gabriella:) One of the caretakers can't come in. All right, then. Ready to start? *gets up and shows her around the office* These are the paper files for our regulars, some safety info -- like emergency contact cards, etc. I'm switching out some outdated paperwork here. Can you go ahead and put the new ones in their files?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *sits and waits for him to finish, listening to the phone call though she knows she shouldn't*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Hmm, don't know if you should say that to the person you consider your employer. (<--teasing) Thank you. They're very good! Ah, no, I'm fine. *phone rings* Excuse me for a sec'. *answers the phone*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *giggles* I do it because you said no~ *winks and hands him his food* I made you some crepes, well two because I didn't know if you wanted vanilla cream or fruit filling... *smiles shyly at him* Hope you like them, the kids did~ So, do you need anything else? A drink?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka, Toshiro & Naoyuki:: Thank you!

Toshiro: This is amazing! Epically delicious!!

Naoyuki: Mmmm! *eating happily*

Reka: No problem. Woah, these are really good!

Shuichi: Come in! Didn't I tell you no 'sir'? *chuckles* Thank you very much, Gabriella. ^-^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Don't worry, I saved the best one for Shuichi~ *wink* The big boss needs the best~ *once the kids are gone she give Reka, Toshiro and Nao theirs* There you are my boys, thanks for all your help~ *then heads to Shuichi's office with his* *knocking politely* Shuichi, breakfast sir~

@ChiPolVee:

Kids: Thank you!!

Toshiro: *passing the crepes out*

Reka: *filling them*

Yume: Ah! Don't forget Shuichi!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *giggles and whistles* Listen up kids! If you want a crepe then you have to say something nice to Reka and Toshiro first because they were so nice to help make you food! So line up! Toshiro will you give them the crepe, Reka, help them fill it please~ Thank you boys~ *continues making crapes until everyone has one* Only a few left~ *smile*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I don't know about a crowd of 'em. ^^'

*more kids come in to see what's going on and start crowding around the crepes*

Reka: Come on, guys, get in line! *sets Naoyuki down to help pass out the crepes*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Got it~ So I should make at least 25 crepes~ Got it~ *smiles at Reka* And you don't think I can't handle hyper kids? *winks, finishing the strawberry and vanilla fillings* Reka love, you know me better than that~ Okay kids! I'll be making crepes like magic so watch closely~ *lines up everything and makes five crepes in a few moments* Okay kids! Have at em~ Fill them with whatever you want~

@ChiPolVee:

Yume: *waves at Naoyuki*

Naoyuki: *waves back*

Reka: If we fill these with chocolate, the kids'll be bouncing off the walls the rest of the day. *snickers* Well, we've got about six kids here already, and seven caretakers, including us.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Nao is my lovely little brother~ *points to Nao, then starts to cook up some crepes* You can also fill them with chocolate if you have chocolate to melt~ *smiles at Reka* Thank you so much love~ How much should I make?

@ChiPolVee:

Yume: I'm Yume, and this is my buddy, Riku! *^^* Who's Nao?

Toshiro: I'm on it! *rummages in cabinets and fridge*

Reka: *goes over to the fridge and finds the cream*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: My name is Gabriella and yes I am their friends~ And Nao's older sister~ Who are you? *smiles to Toshiro* I need some sugar and vanilla and many other things... Um, lets see... *scribbles down the recipe and hands it to Toshiro* These things please~ *smiles at Reka* Yes please and if you have cream that would be awesome, if not I can make the strawberries into cream~

@ChiPolVee:

Yume: What's your name? Are you friends with Reka and Shuichi?

Naoyuki: *lights up* That sounds yummy. ^^

Reka: Sure. Want to use strawberries for the filling?

Toshiro: What do you need for them? I'll get the stuff out.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *blushes* I'm not pretty... *smiles at Nao* A crepe is basically a thin pancake with fruit jam or vanilla cream filling~ I can make you some and see if you like them, they only take about ten minutes to make~ *gathering the things to make crepes* Reka, do you want some too? And what filling does everyone want?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: What's "crepes"?

Yume: It's the pretty lady from yesterday! :)

Toshiro: I've never had crepes before. I want to try them! ^-^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Good! You have everything I need to make Crepes or French Toast and bacon or sausage and eggs, depending on what everyone wants on the side~ Have you ever had Crepes? *smiles at everyone* Hello, I'm your chef for the morning~ What would everyone like~? It's made to order~ *wink*

@ChiPolVee:

Toshiro: Yup, we've got bacon and sausage and eggs! And a bit of jelly, and some strawberries and -- Oh, we used up the blueberries in the pancakes yesterday.

Reka: We don't have any chocolate chips. ^^'

*Yume (the little girl from the night before) and a younger boy step in*

Reka: Yes, Yume, Riku?

Yume: What's for breakfast?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Do you have bacon and sausage? How about hash browns? And eggs? *looking through her things* What about fruits and jams? *smiles at Nao* If you want pancakes, I can make you some, with chocolate chips too if you have some~ I can make a meal for a king out of anything~ *winks at Reka* So?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Shuichi's mom made pancakes yesterday, so we should switch it up a little.

Naoyuki: No pancakes?

Toshiro: You're welcome. *bashfully scratches the back of his head* How about french toast? ^^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: What do you want for breakfast boys? I can make anything you want~ *wink* Thank you very much Toshiro~ You're such a cutie~ Do you know what Shuichi might want...?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Okay. *goes to Naoyuki, who wants to sit on his shoulders*

Toshiro: J-Juggle? 0u0... Oh, yeah. Yeah, no problem. ^^'' Um.. breakfast meat and bread and stuff is in the fridge, syrup, sugar and that is over here... *grabs them from a cabinet*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *winks at Shuichi before he leaves then smiles at the others* Okay boys, lets get to work! Reka! Do what Nao asks please~ Toshiro love~ Can you juggle? *spins a plate a little* Kidding~ You don't have to worry~ I can handle this, can you just show me where some of my ingredients are? Please~

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Oh. Gotcha. ^-^

Toshiro: Okay, just tell me what to do. *re-rolls up his sleeves*

Shuichi: All right, no rush. ^^b *goes back to the office*

Naoyuki: *laughing and enjoying her show*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *whispers to Reka* I'm trying to make Nao laugh~ Help me? *smiles at Toshiro* Hey little fella~ You're gonna help me too~ Thank you sweetie~ *nods to Shuichi* I'll be in in a little with breakfast for you and ready to work~ *smiles sweetly then continues to make a show of cooking*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *laughs*

Reka: Gabriella? Oh, good morn -- *she takes the cooking stuff* Um, okay?

Shuichi: I need to finish up some work in the office. Oh, and, Gabriella, this is Toshiro. *gestures toward the boy* He's one of our helpers. ^-^

Toshiro: Hello. :)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *spins and sits Nao down* Okay boys! Move away from the kitchen! This is a woman's job! *smiles at Nao* Watch this~ *Takes the things from Reka* Sit down, you deserve a break~ Leave this to me~ Shuichi! If you can please help the boy with the dishes! He shouldn't have to do it with adults around! *starts to cook her way, making a show out of it for Nao and the boy*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: He's not bad at making little things, but a whole meal for lots of people -- Reka winds up losing track of things and burning stuff. ^^' If you could help him, that'd be great.

*they reach a little kitchen near the back of the building*

Shuichi: Here we are.

Reka: *sure enough, cooking*

*and there's a younger boy cleaning dishes*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *gathers up Nao and cuddles him, following Shuichi* Can Reka not cook? Because if you need I can cook, I'm a pretty good cook... *smiles shyly* If you want that is...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *nods* Good.

Naoyuki: *nods, coughing a little, but not as bad as the day before* I want to help.

Shuichi: *smiles* Ah, follow me. *leads her to the kitchen, and they pass a couple of the kids playing with a couple caretakers* (to one of the caretakers:) Don't tell me you've got Reka in the kitchen again!

Boy: Umm... Yes.

Shuichi. -_-''

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay! I'll eat quickly and get to work right away! *picks up Nao and smiles at him* Wanna help me with paper work after this? We can make a game out of it~ *wink* Also, where is the kitchen?

(You're okay lovely~)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: No, no, you need to eat and keep up your strength. You can take Naoyuki with you and get him some food. As far as paperwork goes, we've got some files for the regulars and things like that to update and sort out.

Naoyuki: Mm.. Breakfast?

(Sorry, I had to step away for a bit and forgot to add it to my last comment!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I don't need to eat, I'll be fine~ What kind of paper work? *smiles at Nao* Want to sleep for longer, or should we go get you some food?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *smiles* All right, then. There should be someone in the kitchen making breakfast right now. You can join them whenever you're ready and have a bite to eat. When that's done, you can come back here and help with the paperwork. ^-^ Sound good?

Naoyuki: *nods and drinks the medicine*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: No, I don't need to sleep anymore or anything. I work here now, I want to be of help. Please Shuichi, I want to be useful... *then looks at the medicine warily* Sure... *holds the spoon out to Nao with a shaky smile* Please take this Nao... Then you can go back to sleep if you want...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: It's not busy yet, and you were up pretty late, so for now, you can sleep, eat, chill, whatever. *hands her Naoyuki's cold medicine* Want to give him his next dose?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: ... Oh yeah... I forgot about that, that sick people go to the hospital... Oh! If the center is open do you want me to get to work? I'll do whatever you tell me to do! *hops up, still cradling Nao*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: If he's sick right now and has low immunity, going somewhere there'll be lots of sick people wouldn't be good.

Oh, yeah. The center's open now, and people are dropping their kids off. ^-^

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Why? What would be bad about taking him there? *looks at the boy* Hm? Another person?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: ...I want to, but...

Shuichi: It'll have to wait until you get better. (to Gabriella:) A hospital's not the best place at the moment.

*another person pops in*

Boy: Shuichi, another person's been dropped off!

Shuichi (to the boy): Okay, just a sec'!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Oh... would you like to go visit her...? I'm sure Reka or Shuichi could take you to her... *sits down, holding him still*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: ...It -- It was... about my friend, Haruko... Sh-She's in the hospital right now...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Oh. *cradles him close* Well tell sissy what it was and that way it won't come true~ *kisses his cheek* Don't worry, I'm here to protect you. *sweet smile*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: I -- I had a bad..dream...

Shuichi: *small, relieved sigh*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *holds him close* I-I don't know. *petting and hugging Nao close* Sh, sh, I got you... you're okay, I get you... you're safe... What's wrong love...? *kisses his forehead gently*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *glomps her, still whimpering*

Shuichi: *stops doing his records and runs over* Is everything okay?!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *shoots up, apparently she had fallen asleep* Nao! Nao are you okay? *rushes to his side, relieved to see he's okay* How are you feeling this morning?

@ChiPolVee:

(next day)

Naoyuki: *whimpering in his sleep and wakes with a start*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay, goodnight darling~

(We can do anything you want to do~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Haha, that's all right. ^^ Goodnight!

(Sure, as long as you want to. ^^b We can start it back up on the next day.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Want me to kiss your forehead and sing you to sleep too? *giggles sweetly*

(Night! Continue anytime if we are continuing~ Which I hope we are because I love RPing with you~)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: You're welcome. *smiles warmly*

(Goodnight! *^^*)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Well I only plan to lay there so... but if you insist, thank you very much... *crawls onto the couch and closes her eyes* Thank you so much Shuichi...

(Okay~ Night night darling~ Sweet dreams~)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Like I said, we're set. The couch is open. ^^

(I'm gonna go soon.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: You should sleep on the couch, I won't likely sleep anyway so it only seems fair... *sits on the floor by Nao again*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: You should sleep on the couch, I won't likely sleep anyway so it only seems fair... *sits on the floor by Nao again*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *smiles at her* Okay. Glad to hear it. ^-^ The overnight crew has sleeping bags. Don't worry about us.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *blush blush* I'm really not... but thank you Shuichi... I would love to try to make the children here smile and laugh~ If there's anything I can do... don't hesitate to ask okay...? *looks up at him shyly* Um, also... I'll sleep on the couch... Where do you sleep?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *blush blush* I'm really not... but thank you Shuichi... I would love to try to make the children here smile and laugh~ If there's anything I can do... don't hesitate to ask okay...? *looks up at him shyly* Um, also... I'll sleep on the couch... Where do you sleep?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: It really is.

(quietly:) You're very strong. I never would have guessed... You're welcome here any time, Gabriella. And we'd love to have your help.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *blushes softly* I-it's really nothing special... *blush* But I can sleep anywhere, really... I used to live where ever was safe enough to be... I really like this place... I wish had had a place like this... *smiles sadly* I would love to help you make this place even better, if... if you want that is... *looks up at Shuichi shyly*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *eyes closed, smiling* Your voice is amazing. I'd prefer it if you didn't sleep on the floor -- it's not the cleanest, you know.

*staring off distantly* Me and Reka and our pals opened this place so that kids who can't go to school or have no homes have somewhere to go. Around here, that kind of thing used to be so normal, nobody'd notice a kid out begging in the streets.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *continues to sing, becoming slightly more confidant then once the song is over she kisses Nao's forehead again and curls up on the floor* If you don't mind that is Shuichi... I'm fine here as long as I'm around my Nao...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: If that's what you want. *listens to her sing*

Naoyuki: *quickly falls to sleep with a little smile on his face*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I'll be fine on the floor, I've slept on worse~ *winks at Shuichi then smiles at Nao* Okay honey, now you try to relax okay? *pets him gently, kneeling beside the cot and starting to sing softly for him*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: You want to sleep on the couch and have the cot right next to it?

Naoyuki: *nods*

Reka: *takes Naoyuki's dishes back to the kitchen*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: No worries Shuichi, I'll just sleep next to the cot~ I'll be fine~ *lifts up Nao and lays him on the cot, tucking him in and kissing his forehead* Want a Lullaby darling?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *blushes*

Shuichi: *snickers at Reka*

Naoyuki: *finished eating and nodding off to sleep*

Shuichi: Ah! We brought pillows and cots -- not sure if the cot is big enough for you, though...

(Cool!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: He's trying to say that you're gonna be a daddy~ Didn't you know Reka? You're gonna be a father~ *giggles and smiles at Nao* Do you need any help or anything love?

(Okay~ <3 I'll just throw her siblings into it as well, their profiles will be up sooner or later~)

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Yeah, I think so, too.

Naoyuki: *cuddles back*

Reka: *comes back into the office with food and brings it over to Naoyuki* Here you go.

Shuichi (to Reka): *chuckles* You'd better learn to cook more than leftovers before you become a dad.

Reka (to Shuichi): *gives him a cross look* What are you trying to say?!

(That sounds like fun! Speaking of which, I haven't gone and commented on her profile yet, and I should!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Awe, Reka's going to make an amazing father someday. *cuddles Nao* I love you Nao Nao~ *smiles sweetly* You're the cutest in the world~ *looks up at Shuichi* I wish there was a place like this around when my brother and I were homeless...

(I want to introduce these kids to Alice and her family sometime, because Reka might like the littluns in the family~)

@ChiPolVee:

Yume: Hello. *waves shyly*

Reka: *goes back to the kitchen, and Yume follows*

Naoyuki: *nods*

Shuichi: That was Yume -- one of the orphans I was telling you lives here. Reka was the one who took her in, so she's very attached to him.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I'll try to remember sir-Shuichi. *smiles at him then looks at the little girl* Hm? What a cute little girl. *nods to Reka* Thank you love~ *looks at Nao* Just a little longer, then we'll all eat and then go to bed~ Kay?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *hugs back*

Shuichi: First of all, I'm not "sir". ^^' Even if you start working here, I wouldn't want to be called that. Just "Shuichi" is fine.

Reka: *comes back with a little girl latched onto him* I'm heating up some leftovers. It'll just be a sec'.

Shuichi (to the little girl:) What are you doing up, Yume?

Yume: *rubs her eyes* I heard Reka in the kitchen.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *sits Nao on her lap and hugs him close* Reka will be back soon~ *then nods to Shuichi* Nice word~ *giggles* So tell me about yourself sir~

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Oh, I gotcha. *snickers* Funny. ^-^ Yeah, that's fine. I'm intrigued, too -- like I said, it's not often Reka brings girls here that aren't daycare charges.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: When I was in the hospital, these two visited me so often the nurses thought Nao was Reka and my son and we were married~ *giggles and snuggles* Though I wouldn't mind that, having Nao as my son I mean~ *smiles Shuichi* Hey, I want to get to know you, is that okay?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: Pft! "Son"?

Reka (to Shuichi): Oh, knock it off! >//< (to Gabriella:) Be right back. *goes to the kitchen*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Alright sweetie~ *smiles at Nao then looks at Reka* Reka love~ Your son needs food~ Will you please get Nao something to eat before I put him to bed? Please and thank you.

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: *smiles* You're very welcome. *leaves the cold medicine, packs up the rest and gets up to go* Have a good night. (mostly to Reka & Shuichi:) See you tomorrow!

Reka: Thank you!

Shuichi: See you tomorrow. *waves*

Naoyuki (tiredly): I am a little hungry.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods* Got it! Thank you ma'am, thank you so much. *snuggles Nao* Guess what, you going to be fine~ *smiles at everyone* Thank you. *then back to Nao* Shall I sing now so you can get to sleep? Or should you eat and drink first?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *smiles back, nods*

*Reka and Shuichi come back in*

Mrs. Furujima (to all of them): Make sure he gets plenty of food, water and sleep. Oh, and try to keep him out of big crowds for a little while, to minimize exposure to germs until his body can fight this off.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: See there, this will make you all better in no time~ Then we can sing and dance again, okay Nao~ *smiles down at him* Once you finish your medicine I can sing you to sleep if you want~

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: *digging around in her bag* He's got an aggravated cold, nothing serious. *pulls out and measures a dose of some children's cold medicine* (to Naoyuki:) I'm going to have you drink some of this, okay? It will make you feel better.

Naoyuki: *hesitantly drinks*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods happily* How is he doc? *snuggles Nao close, kissing his forehead* He's going to be alright right?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *nods and plays along*

Mrs. Furujima: Okay, I'm all done now. (to Gabriella:) Thank you, dear. *smiles*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay~ Just say a word that starts with the last letter of the word before it. Like if I say cat, you say tack, okay? Make sense~? *happily playing the simple game*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: Mn. *nods*

Reka and Shuichi: *looking for cots and pillows and such*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *seems calm* Okay, um, lets play a word game. Do you think you're up for a word game love?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: Uh-hu -- *coughs*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Okay, hey Nao love, wanna play a game? *trying to distract him, smiling sweetly at him*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: You calming him down is helping a lot. *smiles* Just keep him still for me, please. *continues checking him out*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *pets Nao lovingly* Don't worry honey, big sis is right here, it'll all be over soon. *smile* Is there anything I can do to help?

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Furujima: *comes over* Aw, poor thing. Let's see what we can do. *pulls a thermometer and other things from her supply bag and starts checking him out*

Naoyuki: *squirming uneasiy*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Nao ma'am, he needs you... *gently sits Nao up* Please help him... *looks beyond worried*

(Okay, no worries~ We can continue anytime~ <3 Have fun~)

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: Mn.. *nods* *sits up and drinks the water*

*Shuichi brings Mrs. Furujima into the office*

Mrs. Furujima: Hello. Who needs my help tonight?

(I'm gonna go in a bit. I'll try to be back later.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *gently wakes up Nao and holds out the water for him* Come on love, I know you don't want to get up but the doctor is here... Please drink this... *cradling him close*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *snaps to attention* Oh good! Should I wake up Nao for her? I'll give him some water just in case... So should I?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Okay.

Shuichi: All ri -- Wait, what?

Reka: What happened? Where are you staying now?

*bell rings*

Shuichi: That's probably Mrs. Furujima. *goes to get the door*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *takes the cup and waits* He's not awake so I don't want to wake him... *looks up at Shuichi* Um, can I start in about a week, I need to get settled into a home... I... I might be homeless again, I don't know yet...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *comes back with another cup of water*

Shuichi: When would you want to start?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Sounds good Shuichi sir~ *smiles at him then gently pets Nao's face, putting the cloth in the ice until its colder then puts it back on Nao's forehead* You're okay love, just a little longer and the doctor will be here... You're gonna be okay...

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: I can always get the currency converted, if you need that. But Reka would have to get you here.

Naoyuki: *coughs and almost wakes up*

Reka: I'll go get some water for him, too. *hurries off to the kitchen again*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *pauses to think* ... You know what Shuichi love, I think I would really like that~ Will I get paid in currency usable at my home? Or will I have to live here? And will I always need Reka to get here?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *nods and smiles*

Shuichi: If you're ever looking for a job, we'd love to have you help out here. The way you are with Naoyuki, I'm sure the kids would love you.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: ... We really are like siblings, I get sick easily myself... I'll always be happy to help take care of him... *snuggles Nao* After all, that's what big sisters do~ *smile*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *smiles*

Reka (to Gabriella): You're welcome. (softly, to both:) Naoyuki has low immunity. We'll need to keep a close eye on him...

Shuichi (to Reka): I'll make sure to tell Mrs. Furujima.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods to Shuichi* Good, I'm glad he'll be okay... I love him... *takes the water from Reka and downs it in one gulp* Thank you so much. *then cuddles up with Nao and the blankets on the couch*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: He seems to be sleeping all right -- if he felt so bad he couldn't sleep, I'd be more worried.

Reka: *comes back with ice, a cup of water and a blanket (even though she said she was fine)* That oughtta do it.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: He's asleep, I hope he stays that way... *looks down at Nao lovingly* Do you think it's anything really bad? He'll be okay right?

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *nods* She lives fairly close by, so it should only be a few minutes until she gets here. Thank you. *smiles* How's he doing?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods sleepily* Okay, good, someone will care for Nao.... *smiles at Shuichi* You have a nice voice sir... No wonder kids like you... You and Reka... *still caring for Nao*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *leaves again for the ice, water, etc.* (to Shuichi:) Okay, good!

Shuichi: She's the doctor.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods sleepily* Don't worry Reka... I'll be fine. Thank you though... *nods to Shuichi* Okay, who's that? *eyes still closed, but still caring for Nao*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Okay, I'll bring you some water. Do you want a blanket too?

Shuichi (on the phone): ...uh-huh...Yes. Thank you very much. *hangs up* Mrs. Furujima is on her way.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I... if you have any water that would be nice... I'm kind of thirsty now that things are a tad calmer... Thank you Reka... *smiles up at him, she looks tired, then closes her eyes to listen to Shuichi*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I'll be going into the kitchen for the ice, so if you're thirst or anything...

Shuichi (on the phone): ...is sick and needs some help, so if you could come...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *shakes her head* I'm fine, why do you ask? *gently tucks Nao in, being careful not to wake him, then watches Shuichi, ears perked*

@ChiPolVee:

Shuichi: *goes over to the phone*

Reka: Welcome. I grabbed a blanket... *drapes it over Naoyuki* I'll go grab some ice, too. Do you need anything?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *nods to Shuichi* Okay. *then takes the cloth* Thank you Reka. *places it gently on Nao's forehead* Okay, now he needs some medicine and a blanket, he's going to get very cold very soon. *watching over Nao like a mother* Could you also bring some ice in case his fever really starts to spike...

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *smiles and falls asleep*

Shuichi: Nobody's perfect. That doesn't make you a bad person. *smiles gently* Yes, I live here. I could go to where you live, but not as easily as Reka, perhaps.

Reka: *comes back in with the cloth and gives it to Gabriella* Here.

Shuichi: Excuse me for a bit. I'll go make that phone call, now that you're all settled.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *sits down and puts Nao's head on her lap* No need to worry love, you can sleep, I'll stay here with you all night, I promise. *still petting him then glances up at Shuichi, a flicker of sadness in her expression* Not really, but thank you. So do you live here? Can you go to where I live like Reka can?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *falling asleep*

Shuichi: I see. *smiles* Reka tells me that this little guy *gestures to Naoyuki* doesn't open up easily. And Reka can be prickly, himself. *laughs a little* You're a good person, then. *smiles* Ah, we're the same age.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *remains at Nao's side, kissing his forehead softly before looking up at Shuichi* I'm one of Reka's friends from home and Nao's new big sister. I wouldn't have let him come here without me, I have to protect my Nao after all. *smiles sweetly* But um, how old are you Shuichi? I'm eighteen, in Earth years... if years are different here... *pauses to think*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *smiles a bit*

Shuichi: No problem. I am here to take care of kids, after all. We have a couple orphans living here. *blinks* "Sir"? No need for formalities -- I'm not much older than you, I don't think. ^^' *smiles somewhat slyly* It's not often Reka brings girls around.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *does as she's told and gently lays Nao down, then pets him gently, trying to be supportive* I'm right here Nao... We're gonna get you feeling better in no time. *smiles up at Shuichi* Thank you for helping us this late at night... I'm sure this isn't what you want to be doing... but thank you so much Shuichi sir...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Gabriella, this is Shuichi. He's a friend. (to Shuichi:) This is Gabriella. We have Naoyuki with us, and he has a fever. Mrs. Furujima is here, isn't she?

Shuichi (to Reka): Not at the moment, but I can give her a call. (to Gabriella:) It's a pleasure to meet you. Come into the office here; Naoyuki can lay down until the doctor gets here. (to Reka:) Can you go wet a cloth and bring it here, please?

Reka: Sure. *goes off*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *still holding Nao close, but giggles at Reka's blush* You're so cute~ *hurries after him and clings to Nao protectively when the other man enters* Hello...?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *blushes* (<--not sure how to respond to that XD)

It's right up ahead. *points to a big building on the corner and hurries there* *unlocks the door and goes in* Hello?

*a tall brunette boy comes to meet them* Reka, that you? *blinks at Gabriella and Naoyuki* Oh, you brought company. (to Gabriella:) Hello!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Reka, do you realize I love you? And I will likely love anything you do. I will adore your friends~ I can't wait to meet them~ Mostly little Toki~ *smirks then kisses Nao's forehead* Hold on honey, we're almost there. *looks at Reka, urgently* We should hurry...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I kind of thought so. *smiles sympathetically*

Kita can be a handful, but she's not bad, once you get used to her. You'd probably like her. Haha, really?

Naoyuki (drowsily:) ..love you too...

(Cool! Aw, thanks, I love RPing with you, too. *hugs*)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *looks down for a minute* No... I think I would miss my friends at home... *sigh*
Oh! I can't wait! I bet she's great! I like them already! Mostly because they're your friends so they have to be awesome! *cuddles Nao and holds him close, protectively* I love you Nao...

(Okay darling~ We can continue anytime~ <3 I love RPing with you~)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: You sure you'd be okay with that?

I don't see why not. *chuckles* Kita's a girl -- a crazy, impulsive tomboy, but definitely a girl. Well, you'll meet a couple of 'em in a minute.

Naoyuki: *cuddles back sleepily*

(No problem. Actually, I'm about to go, myself. Catch you another time! ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Well, maybe I could live at the Center, I know how to fight and could protect the kiddies~ Plus... I could keep you and Nao safe too... *smiles softly, sadly*
*then smirks* Oh oh when she visits I have to be invited to the party! Please! Oh and is this friend, Kita, male or female? I wanna meet them too! I wanna meet all of your friends if you don't mind. And Nao's too... *cuddles Nao again*

(Sorry for the late reply, stuff happened at home...)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I understand. *smiles sympathetically* There are better places than here, though. (I wouldn't mind leaving here, myself, if my friends and the Center weren't here...) *pats her head*

Yeah. -//- You probably will get to meet her sometime. She and her friend, Kita, keep talking about how they want to see what I'm up to all the time. *laughs*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: This place is still far away from the town we came from and all the things happening there... *looks down for a moment then smirks at Reka* Her name is Toki? How cute! I have to meet her sometime~ Pretty please~ *wink*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: ..Like I said, it's like any big city area. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to live. The daycare has a night crew on duty to keep it safe. I guess the area has improved lately, though. *smiles awkwardly* No, Toki lives on Earth.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Can I stay here?! It's so far from everyone else... It's nice... *staying close to Reka while holding Nao close* Does the girl you like live here too?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *blinks* Yeah? Um... It's like any big city here... So stay close, okay? *starts leading her to the daycare*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *takes a shaky step forward* This is b-beautiful Reka... This place... is amazing... You live here?! *looks back at Reka, excited and happy* I love it here!

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: This is Llania, where I live. *scratches head* Which is... technically in another dimension. If that makes you uncomfortable, I can take you right back home, just as fast as we got here. Just let me know.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Eep! *seeing the new environment, panic and wonder sets in* What is this place?! Oh my goodness! This is amazing! Where are we? *still holding Nao close*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *nods* Don't freak out, okay? *touches her, takes something out of his pocket, and in the next instant, they're in a big city*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *cuddling Nao close* As long as he gets better, I don't care where you have to take him.... *looks sad* I love you Nao... we'll get you help...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Not my house. *stands up* We can take him to the daycare -- there's always staff there at night, and my friend's mom is a doctor. Is that okay with you?

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *hugs him for a moment then picks him up and cradles him close* Let's get him to your house Reka... he needs medicine badly...

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *hugs back weakly* It's okay.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *drops to her knees before Nao and hugs him close, almost for dear life* I'm so sorry Nao!

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *holds arms out for a hug, and Reka lets him go*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Of course... you're my little brother... *heart breaking* I would save you if I could Nao... I would...

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: For trying..for me.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Thank you...? For what...?

(Okay! Night night~ <3 Sweet dreams~)

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: Thank you...

(Yup, I should be here tomorrow. See you then. ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *holds Nao's hand, trying not to cry* I literally can do nothing again... I love you Nao, I love you so much. I'm so sorry I can't protect you... I have no legal power... I can't even fight for you...

(Night! See you tomorrow I hope~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *grabs her hand*

Reka: At least you tried. I just froze up again... I feel helpless too.

(Good night!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *sighs, defeated* I can't help... I can't do anything for him... *walks to Nao and kisses his forehead* Care for him Reka... I can't do it... *turns and walks home, defeated*

(Okay! Good night lovely! Sweet dreams~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo: Someone has already threatened to have Naoyuki taken away... *sighs resignedly* It's okay. You're right... (to Reka:) No, if he's sick -- !

Reka (to Mrs. Kondo): I can take care of him...

Mrs. Kondo: Okay... *kisses Naoyuki and lets Reka take him, goes back inside*

(I've gotta go.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: No, they'll just lock your sick husband up if you still love him, they'll leave him with you... *looks away from them* I'm so sorry Nao... some sister I am... *looks at his mom* Yes he's sick... that's why we brought him home... but... my mouth got the better of me... I'm sorry... *drops her head*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo: They'll take him away from me!

Reka (to Mrs. Kondo): Please let me keep him tonight!

Mrs. Kondo (to Reka): ...Okay. *gives Gabriella a sad look, then bends down to Reka & Naoyuki and pats Naoyuki* He's warm... Is he sick?!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Then call the police! Really simple solution! *looks at Reka* You thought I was leaving without Nao? No. Not a chance. If he's here than so am I. End of story. I promised to protect him. And that's what I'll do. *to herself* I won't fail again.

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo: Do you think I like coming home to find my son's been beaten?!

Reka: If you rile that guy up any more, he'll take it out on Naoyuki later, when we're not here to help him!! *shaking even worse, almost curling up in a ball*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *rubs her cheek, talking more to herself* Tch. And yet no one cares. You're still going to let him live here with that monster. *shakes her head* This makes me sick... *crosses her arms over her chest*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Gabriella, please...! *shaking badly*

Mrs. Kondo: *hurt* I don't let him... I don't...

Reka (to Mrs. Kondo): Let me -- Let me k-keep him tonight... Please...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *glaring at the man until he's gone* Coward! That's why you have to beat a child! You can't fight a real fight! Tch. *looks away, angry* And your no better lady... letting him do that... *looks at Nao and Reka* I'm sorry... when you come from the streets you fight... Sorry I scared you loves... *sigh*

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo: *runs out* All of you, please stop!!!

Mr. Kondo: *glares threateningly*

Reka: *flinches and tightens his hold on Naoyuki*

Mr. Kondo: *stomps away*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *takes the hit and pauses to wipe her lips then turns and smiles a wide toothy grin* You hit like a girl. Only, I hit better. *attempts to throw her own punch at him, ignoring the pleas*

@ChiPolVee:

Mr. Kondo: *snaps* YOU WRETCHED BRAT!! *slaps her hard*

Naoyuki: NO!!!

Reka: *holds Naoyuki back desperately* Gabriella, that's enough!!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Call them, bring it on! They'll take you in for beating your child! And a helpless girl. *smirks up at him* So I dare you to try. *glares but doesn't move*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *freezes in his tracks, still crying*

Mr. Kondo: *throws her down* Get out of my sight, or I'll call the police!!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *grabs onto the man's arm with her nails, digging them into his skin, growling* I'm not afraid of this man! NAO STAY BACK! *dangerously demanding, still looking the man in the eyes* I dare you.

@ChiPolVee:

Mr. Kondo: *fuming* I have had ENOUGH of that mouth of yours!! (to his wife:) MOVE, Aya!! *stomps out past his wife, grabs Gabriella roughly and forcibly drags her from the porch*

Naoyuki: *wriggles out of Reka's grip and runs after them* NO! *cry-screaming* Don't hurt Gabriella!!

Reka: NAOYUKI! GABRIELLA!

(Ah, I see.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: If I don't get off your porch what? What will you do big man? *glaring at him, to the mom* I'm sorry ma'am, but no one hurts my friend and gets away with it. *still locking eyes with the man, unafraid*

(Yay~ No sleep party~ <3 I'm drawing, that's why I'm still up...)

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo: ... *shoots her husband an awkward look*

Mr. Kondo: Girl, if you don't get off my porch...!!

Mrs. Kondo (to her husband): Hiroto, stop! (to Gabriella and Reka:) I'm sorry...

(Oh no, that's not good! (Yet, here I am too.) *laugh*)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *does not relax or step down* This sick man beats little Nao! A child! I can't tolerate that. *glaring at the man with a look that could kill, growling*

(Yup~ I don't understand sleep~ :D)

@ChiPolVee:

Mrs. Kondo (worriedly): What's going on here?

(I'm really surprised; I didn't think you'd still be here. ^^;)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *dangerous, warning* Hit me old man, you'll be the one who's sorry. *growling* Nao relax love. I'm fine. *looking into the father's eyes the whole time, daring him*

(It's fine! I'm still here if you wanna RP for a little lovely~)

@ChiPolVee:

Mr. Kondo: I will not stand here and be insulted!! Get off my property!! *raises a hand to hit her*

Naoyuki (crying sharply): NO!

(from inside): Naoyuki? *A woman comes to the door, and Mr. Kondo backs off*

(Sorry for the late reply! Someone else had the computer most of the day today!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: And you know nothing of being a good parent! You don't a HIT a child for misbehaving! That teaches them nothing! YOU KNOW NOTHING! *getting ready to fight, not even thinking of backing down*

(Night! Sweetest dreams~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *alarmed, tries to slip out of Reka's arms, but Reka stops him*

Mr. Kondo: You know nothing of raising a child, especially an imbecile that won't work seriously at anything and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way!!

(You too! See you later!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I think I'm the woman protecting Nao from you! You don't deserve life you sick man! *growling at him* Take a swing at me old man! See how tough you really are! Having to hit a child! That's sick!!

(It's okay~ We'll pick this up later~ Night night darling~ <3 Sweet dreams~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *stunned and shaking, but looking at her incredulously*

Naoyuki: *waking up from the shouting*

Mr. Kondo: Excuse me?! Who do you think you are?!

(Aww!! T.T)

(Okay. It's hard to stop here, but I've been on too long. ^^' Goodnight!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *serious, dead serious* And you are a sick man. How could you beat such a beautiful, wonderful boy!? *right up in his face, unafraid* Do you think that makes you a man?!? You're disgusting! YOu should DIE!

(Okay~ I'll try to be here too then~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Mr. Kondo: I am.

Reka: *shaking a little at his tone*

(Yup, if I'm on.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Are you Nao's father? *eyes and expression dark, foreboding*

(Awe okay, continue tomorrow or something?)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *uneasy*

*The door opens, and a man steps out*

Mr. Kondo: Hmph. You again. At least you came at a decent time. *glances at Gabriella* Who are you?

(I'm going to go soon.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: No. If he comes to the door, you run, I stay. I have a few choice words for this man that have to be said. *determined*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *goes beside her up to the door and rings the bell* You take Naoyuki, in case his dad comes to the door and we have to leave.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Good. That gives me time to talk to him. *starts to jog toward the house*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *smiles* No, that's good. Naoyuki can stay with her, and his dad won't bother him.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I promise. *looks down at the house and tilts her head* Is that bad?

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *cocks an eyebrow at her* (jokingly:) We're not getting arrested for assault, right? *gestures to their left* Its the house down there, two from the corner. *perks up* His mom's car is there.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *deflates* Meany. Let's just hurry to his house. I'm itching for a fiiiii- I mean a nice sit down conversation~

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Yup, yup, whatever you say.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *puffs up* No they won't! I'm super tough! Look at me! I'm a tiger!!

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *chuckles* Somebody'll knock you right over if you go at them like that.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *spins around Reka a little* Yup! In case some heads need rolling~

@kita mikichi:

(ok sounds good...:)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *laughs a little* What's that, a fighting game prep?

@Rainbow Dragon:

(All right, if I'm on tomorrow, I'll drop in. ^^)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *smiles and follows him, bouncing in a little fighting stance* I'm ready for this~ *giggling*

@kita mikichi:

(well you can join in tomorrow too. It will be open for awhile.)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Fair enough. *smiles a little* All right, then, let's go. *starts leading her to Naoyuki's house*

@Rainbow Dragon:

(Yup. By the time I got it, you were already here. I don't know if I'm going to start another RP tonight. I might have to go soon.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Only if I can take Nao and you with me. I will protect my brothers.

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: All right. If anything goes wrong, get the heck out of there.

@kita mikichi:

(did you get my message? And yes I started another rp.)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *stands up slowly* I'll go with you if you'd like... Please let me...

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *tears in his eyes* thanks...see you later then...

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: Bye. Good luck~

@ChiPolVee:

Reka (worriedly): He didn't have a fever earlier. *carefully picks Naoyuki up* Yeah, I guess he needs to go home.

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: yes you are. And I'm glad you're here...*smiles sadly*

@MangaKid:

(alright Jess,catch ya later. I'd like that.)

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: *giggles sadly* Given I'm still here~

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *pets Nao, looking down at him lovingly* Yeah, he is... Now would be the perfect time to go visit his daddy. *smiles innocently at Reka*

@Rainbow Dragon:

(See ya, Judai! I'm heading off, we'll RP more later~)

@kita mikichi:

(Goodnight!)

@MangaKid:

(No worries. ^^b Goodnight!)

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: Thank you...

@ChiPolVee:

(Sounds good! RP later~)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: ^^'... *smile melts* Okay. *looks at Naoyuki* He conked out again... *touches him*

@kita mikichi:

(Yeah, I'm sorry if I confused anything! >3< Ah ok, sure I'll see you another time!)

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: I'll try to see her when she gets out...

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: *giggles at hims blush*

(Please do~ Gabby has something to ask Luke~ :3 See you later love~)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Well.......... It's not like I'm legal citizen here sooooo.... *smiles sweetly* I won't. I promise~

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: alright, *sighs sadly* I understand. Sorry.

@MangaKid:

Reka: Okay. See you later, Kaji.

Naoyuki: *asleep against Gabriella*

(Ah, I see. I don't know how much longer I can stay on, myself. See you later! And you're welcome!)

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *blushes slightly*

(Nothing bad! I'm just not focused on the RP enough >u< I will PM u later tho <3 Thanku!!)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: Yeah... Promise me you won't get arrested for assault, either.

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *starting to feel tired again* Guys, I'll see you later... *smiles at Nao* Stay cool, little dude.

(I'm gonna head off, sorry! Too much going on at my house so its distracting me^^" but all is good! Thanks for the RP!)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: I'm not looking to get hurt. I'm going to be the one doing the hurting. *protective older sister mode activated*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *sighs* Don't go in there looking to get hurt. Promise me that, okay?

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: I seriously can't! I'll go to jail!

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: Please! *tears fall from his eyes*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: I can't even enter the hospital anymore. Sorry!

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *shouts back* yes please...she would love a visit from you. She visited you when you were in the hospital!

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Please Reka. I love Nao so much... Please...

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: Sounds good love~ *smiles*

(Okay, is something wrong? PM me if you need me lovely~ <3)

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: ...Gabriella... *looks down at Naoyuki*

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: Sure thing. .. And Luke can come too. We need to all get together again sometime, and cheer up. *smiles weakly*

(I think I should leave this RP, I'm not keeping up very well^^" Too much going on at my house, I'm sorry! xD)

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: Nothing is worse than what I've seen. And I don't think I should. Sorry. *watches them go*

@kita mikichi:

Johan: *waves back out the window*

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: you have no idea what's she been through. So what she cries all the time!? She isn't as strong as you. *sighs and calms down* please come and see her at least...*leaves with ambulance with tears in his eyes*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Reka, listen to me. I couldn't *forcing down sadness* I was too weak to protect Isaiah, but I won't let that happen to another person I love. Nao is my little brother. Please let me protect him. Please let me help him. I don't care what the man does to me. I have to protect him... *almost in tears* Please Reka...

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: Yes please... I would like that very much... *kind soft eyes* Just tell me when...

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I know what you're saying, and I'd love to deck that guy, myself, but... I don't want you to get hurt... and Naoyuki will cry, too, if you do...

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *smile* I'm sure he'll feel better soon with you and Nao loving him.. We're going to hang out altogether at my place sometime, you're welcome to come as well.

@MangaKid:

Reka: *waving as Johan leaves*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Yes he told me, and I need to protect him. I promised I would. No one is laying a hand on my little brother. *rage building* This man needs a stern talking to. *holding Nao close*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: *waves*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: No I don't. All I know about her is that she cries all the time! I cry less than her and I've seen way worse things I'm sure!

@kita mikichi:

Johan: you're welcome...*sighs dejectedly and leaves In the ambulance*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *eyes widen* He told you..? -- No, no way, Gabriella!

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: Nao's sick, we should probably be less rough with him~ *smiles sweetly* I love him to death~

@kita mikichi:

Kaji: *looking concerned, from Johan, to Gabriella, to Nao)

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Reka. Please take me to Nao's home. I need to talk with that man. Please. *pleading with him, clearly worried for Nao*

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *angry* No she isn't! You don't know her!

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *nods, mixed emotions* Okay. *breathes out, letting her go* How about we do something fun with Nao and Reka then?

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: Thank you.

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *coughs a little, hugs her back and starts falling asleep*

Reka: What happened?

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: So is Katy yet you still love her.

@Rainbow Dragon:

Kaji: *watches them leave, worried, mumbles* I hope they're ok... there's been too much sadness recently.

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: *looks up at Kaji* We should talk later... just us please... When I don't have a little brother to protect. *gently pets his cheek* I want to be sure you're okay too. I still do love you. *smiles weakly*

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: I don't believe this...you're impossible!

@kita mikichi:

Johan: *growls slightly but lets it go* Alright...

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *mildly surprised, but smiles for her* I-I'm glad about that, Gabriella. He's a good guy, I know that now. *squeezes her* It'll be ok. Things will get better..

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: *ignore him*

@MangaKid:

Johan: *sighs* yeah I will. Hope to see you soon. *ambulance door closes and goes to the hospital*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Nao! *takes his face gently in her hands* You were the only thing that kept me here after Isaiah's death. I remembered that I promised to be your big sister and always protect you. You are worth everything to me. *pulls him close, hugging him close*

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: she can't help that Gabriella! *sighs*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: *starts heading back to Gabriella and Naoyuki* Hey, don't fight, you two, please... *startled when he sees Naoyuki crying*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: *starts heading back to Gabriella and Naoyuki* Hey, don't fight, you two, please...

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: No...! *crying* (whispers:) I'm not...worth...

@Rainbow Dragon:

Kaji: I'll try to drop by the hospital later... Call me!

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: I'm mad because she's always sick.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *half smirk* I seriously challenge him to lay a finger on me. Nao, *looks at him seriously, right into his eyes* I'm your big sis. I will protect you from anything. Take me to this man. Please...

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: *nods* Okay. See you later, then. I know you'll take good care of her. *smiles*

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: What's your problem? Are you mad cause she's sick?

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: ... *breathing roughly* Luke is good. *smiles up at him weakly* I live with him now... if you didn't know... *gaze drops* I... I can't...

@kita mikichi:

Johan: yes I am. I'm going with her...*smiles as he feels his shoulder being patted*

@ChiPolVee:

Reka: I don't want you to get hit because of me!

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: *just looks away, focusing on Nao*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: You... you're kidding me... *stunned* No. Take me with you Nao. I'm not afraid of this man. Please let me go with you...

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *intense caring gaze* Just with your love, we'll all be ok, Gabriella. *pats her shoulder* Hey, how's Luke doing?

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *just looks at her and frowns*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: *pats Johan on the shoulder* I've gotta go back to Naoyuki. You're going with Katy, right?

@kita mikichi:

Johan: *nods* I hope she does too.

@MangaKid:

Johan: don't worry I will. *gets in the ambulance and stays by her side* you're More than welcome to come with me...all of you.

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: ..Papa...hits me. Last time Reka came wi-with Kaji and Katara,.. Papa hit Reka and Kaji too...

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: I don't really want to talk about her. Sorry.

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: not always...,

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *hugs Nao close, petting him* You can tell me anything love... Big sis is here for you~

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: ...

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *shocked* Why? What's wrong? Why can't I? *confused and a little scared*

@MangaKid:

Gabriella: *smiles sadly* I... I... thank you so much Kaji. B-but I'm not that strong... I... *trying not to break for them all* I love all of you. I... I pro... pro... protect the... *starting to break but shakes her head* Yeah~ You're as manly as I am~ *winks*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: No! *clings tightly to her*

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: Um... I can go with you and wait if you want~ *smile*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Kaji: *calming down* Ok, let us know how she does then. *concern*

@ChiPolVee:

Kaji: *puts his arm around her without hesitation* Gabriella, it'll be ok. You're so strong. We'd all be lost without you, I'm serious. *sniffs then steps back, chuckling* Look at me, manly man eh?

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: ...Mama's not home yet.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: *snaps out of her daze and looks down at him, worried* Why is that love?

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: Yeah. I hope she feels better soon.

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: *mechanically* She'll be fine. She always is.

@kita mikichi:

Johan: *nods sharply* She's in safe hands now. *looks over at her on the stretcher*

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *clings to her* I don't wanna go home...

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *smiles again* I'm just hoping she will be ok.

@kita mikichi:

Gabriella: My, you are sick love... *hugs hims close* You sould go home and get some rest... When Reka's done with... her, we'll have him talk you home okay...? *her voice is mechanical now*

@ChiPolVee:

Brayan:ok then.

@Rainbow Dragon:

Reka: No problem.

@ChiPolVee:

Naoyuki: *leans against her -- he's a little warm*

@Rainbow Dragon:

Gabriella: *weak smile* That's better.

@kita mikichi:

Johan: *releases his hold on her as well as the medic takes her* thank you again.

@ChiPolVee:

Johan: *smiles at her*

@Rainbow Dragon:
