Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

ann~thanks for dropping us back here girls. we’ll call if something happens again
yuna~take care guys
rikku~and no more fighting machines by yourself!
koneko~come on! You said we could ride the shoopuf!
ann~okay, okay koneko. Calm down
she patted her head and they walked over to the hypello.

ann~careful you don’t fall out
reiketsu~how many times did you fall out while you were with grandpa?
ann~only once...maybe three total
tenka~was it all at once?
ann~no, no. all different times that we rode
koneko~hey, what’s that in the water?
Ann~a long time ago there was a city. The people built on bridges that crossed river, but it got too big and it sank. At that time, they took the sinking of the city as punishment for having too much machina and power
reiketsu~punishment is an understatement
ann~i’m not sure if there’s more to it than that, but that’s what dad said. When we see him you could ask him
tenka~when we go to the farplane?
ann~maybe. I didn’t try talking to anyone when I went. I just wanted to enjoy their company
koneko~i guess that’s true. Grandma and grandpa was just there and that was a relief
reiketsu~she’s right. I don’t think we can talk. I tried when she fell asleep. Otherwise she’d get frustrated at them...
the carriage lurched and koneko fell
tenka~sis!
ann~that happened to me exactly like that. You don’t need to jump
from the other side they saw koneko being put back in
koneko~it’s cold...
ann~come here honey. let’s get you dry
ann took her coat off and wrapped it around her
kiba~you fell exactly how mom did
koneko~really?
ann~yup. Dad didn’t help me get dry though
reiketsu~koneko won’t get sick?
ann~No. It won’t be long til we’re in guadosalam either

when they got off the shoopuf, they started down the path
koneko~so how far is it?
ann~maybe 30 minutes. we’ll get you changed at the inn before anything else
reiketsu~so we’ll spend the whole day there?
ann~yeah. it’s been a while since I saw your grandparents
upon arriving to the town, they went straight to the inn
ann~if anyone’s gonna take a bath come with me. there’s a natural hot spring here. Come on koneko
kiba~you boys going?
reiketsu~nah, I’ll take a nap while I can
tenka~i took one this morning
kiba~alright. don’t go too far if you leave the inn
tenka~i won’t dad

koneko~mom?
ann~yeah?
koneko~you won’t leave us again right?
ann~no, never again. I just panicked. I should have trusted the three of you
koneko~why did you?
ann~machina are harder to destroy...and I didn’t have to fight anything that big yet when I came here. Grandpa took care of it and let me finish them off for a year
koneko~it took that long? But we’re not even here for that long!
ann~i know I know, but I can see your strength changing. reiketsu’s actually almost full strength. And all three of you are so much better at magic than me
koneko~you’re just saying that! *pout*
ann~i am not. You guys all hit your targets, even with stronger magic. I always missed
koneko~but you hit that thing right at the joints!
ann~don’t tell the boys, but magic is still possible at home, but it’s like using jutsus here. it’ll wear you down
koneko~so you were using magic at home?!
ann~yup. Mostly on uncle zabi though. that’s how I figured out if I snapped my fingers to cast the spell it’ll hit them dead on
koneko~what did you do before?
ann~i used to wave my arm since I learned magic from grandpa and lulu, and that’s how they casted their spells. Yuna and rikku did the same
koneko~what about paine?
ann~she wanted nothing to do with me. that’s why I got into trouble too
koenko~hehehe...how are we doing?
ann~so much better than me when you talk to others. But between the three of you, it’s still pretty bad
koenko~but reiketsu is so mean...
ann~i know. But i’m hoping he’ll stop that soon. he’s also just overprotective of his baby sister
koneko~but we’re the same age!
ann~yeah but you were also born last
koneko~how can you be sure?!
ann~because lady tsunade did the delivery and shizune was there. So was grandma and grandpa
koneko pouted. Ann poured water over her head
ann~i still wonder what made you have cat ears and a tail...they’re perfectly functional and doesn’t seem to be a deformity at all

ann~tenka, kiba, this is the entrance to the farplane. Kitty, rei, did the girls explain what the place is?
reiketsu~only that apparition of the dead appear as visual memories.
ann~that’s pretty much it then. This is also where pyreflies come to when they get sent or when we defeat fiends. Lets go in
reiketsu~mom wait
ann~what’s wrong?
reiketsu~tenka can’t go in
ann~why not?
reiketsu~i dunno. Something tells me it’s a bad idea
ann took a look at kiba and he shrugged
ann~must be because he’s technically haku’s son...
tenka~but I want to go in...
ann~how if I stay out?
reiketsu~it could work...it still doesn’t seem like a good idea...
tenka~should we risk it?
ann~if you like. i’ll wait out here either way. The worst that could happen is the world being destroyed. But that won’t happen either
tenka~how are you so sure?
ann~cuz everyone says it’ll be because of me. So you won’t be the one to do it
tenka nodded slowly
kiba~come on kids. mom’s just being mom again
the triplets held hands and went in
kiba~they need to know
ann~i know...but...i want to wait until we know if he has the bloodline...
kiba~i know...i agree...but they deserve to know
ann~yeah...we’ll talk later. The kids are waiting

koneko~is anything different?
reiketsu~not really...but the farplane feels a bit off from last time
koneko~i don’t feel it...
tenka~how did it feel before?
reiketsu~soft was what I thought first...maybe relaxing? It was calm
koneko~that’s how it felt when we came?
reiketsu~i know it’s weird, with the panic of mom, but that’s what it felt...now it’s tense...almost like...rejection
tenka~and it’s from me being here?
reiketsu~that’s what it feels like
kiba~are you kids okay?
reiektsu~yeah. I guess so
kiba~we can always go back out
tenka~n-no. it’s okay. Nothing has happened
koenko~nothing will happen either right?
reiketsu~doesn’t seem so
tenka~mom said nothing will happen to the place...what about to me?
kiba~why? what’s wrong?
tenka~i feel...heavy. it’s slow, but...
kiba~lets’ go then
tenka~can I see grandma and grandpa first?

ann~oh that was-what happened to tenka?!
kiba~he passed out. he’s okay
koneko~what happened though?
reiketsu~at least nothing bad happened...i guess nothing worse...
ann~okay...lets’s go back to the inn then. We can go to the shop later on

tenka~dad?...mom? Sis...
ann~take it easy tenka
she helped him sit up
tenka~what happened?
ann~they told me you guys saw grandma and grandpa, then you blacked out. Do you remember what happened?
tenka~no...i just felt weird being in there. Where is everyone?
Ann~getting food. After lunch, we’re gonna look at more weapons
tenka~okay...will I be okay?
ann~yeah. You will. you’ll be fine
tenka~we’re staying the night here right?
Ann~yeah, tomorrow morning we’re gong to macalania. Maybe to bevelle if we get far enough.
