Tourney Arc

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki gave up on trying to hold it in. She buried her face in Olguin's shirt, and cried her heart out.

Tears of fear, anxiety and loneliness poured out...mixed with tears of relief that her best friend hadn't abandoned her.

She cried for what seemed like hours...and with a final, shuddering sigh, fell asleep in Olguin's arms.

Olguin slowly got to his feet, making sure to not joustle his precious cargo.

"Wiseman-sensei...is there anything we can do for her?" His whisper was full of sadness, but his eyes shined with a faint hope as he gazed at his mentor.

OOC: oh for the love of mages...

IC:

Wiseman's hand went up to his chin as he thought, watching the hopeful eyes, and sighed.  "I once knew a man who could have helped you.  A brilliant intellect and fierce magical power beyond  my comprehension, he twisted reality to his whims.  It was by his actions that COR came into existence upon this plane.  If he was still around I am certain he could help you.  Unfortunately he met with a terrible accident after bringing the forces of COR into this dimension.  Slain without a chance to defend himself he fell to an ignoble death.  The cook's assistant never got over it."  Shaking his head back to the present, "I'm sorry.  I know of nothing that can help you at this moment."

Shaking his head, Olguin warded off the bout of depression Wiseman's words brought about.

"I understand. Thank you for at least telling me the truth."

Looking down at Miyuki's angelic face, his own expression firmed.

"I'll protect her until I breath my dying breath, then. No harm will come unto her until I manage to find some way of reversing this curse." He solemnly stated.

[Dracos]

"Why don't you take her inside.  You've had a long day Olguin.  Get some rest.  Hopefully...I'll see you tommorow night." Something odd flashed across Shair's eyes  for a  second and then he vanished.

A few minutes later, Olguin slowly pushed open the door, being careful not to accidentally slam the door against the wall.

Closing the door with a bit of difficulty, he walked up to their bed and gently tucked Miyuki in.

"Well...just another day, ne?" He whispered, before getting ready for bed himself.

Five minutes later he lay on the nearby couch, staring up at the ceiling.

Memories of days long by flashed through Olguin's mind as he stared at the ceiling with an inward gaze.

He had already figuratively run off from someone that needed him before, using the convient excuse that he had to go out into the world to find his brother.

What made him think he could take care of MIYUKI of all people!?

His eyelids suddenly felt heavy...

Why was it so hard to....?

'COR...'

'Canal...'

With those two words in mind, Olguin went to sleep.

And dreamt...

OOC: Time for a new arc! Joy. ^^

OOC:  Day four CONCLUDED!

IC:

And like all nights before the stars flew across  the sky.   Dreams were dreamt as normal people slept blissfully in ignorance of the wars fought in their streets.

Kenryu sat outside, meditating by the lake.  Those that remained were powerful indeed.  This would be a whole different league tommorow.  Looking up at the stars he remembered his father's kind smile.  Yes, he would win.

Dark Wiseman sat alone on the roof...none so far had been the one.  It did not matter...  He had time.  The correct destiny would reveal itself.

Sen Ten Kar slept.  His years of training had instilled confidence of battle.  He would win or lose.  Worrying was a meaningless waste of energy.

Genryu sat in mediation in an old dojo, having made the use of the facilities provided by COR.

'Little brother's alive, eh?' Closing his eyes in rememberance, he half smiled. 'Much stronger than when we last crossed fists.'

Facing twisting in slight discomfort, he sighed.

If he lived long enough, that is.

Gradually the moon set...

and a new day begun...

*BZZZZZZZZZZT* The alarm clock was an annoying presence as always.

OOC: Got permission for this. ^_^

IC:

The first rays of sunlight of the new day began creeping into the hotel room, teasing at Olguin's eyelids, pulling him slowly from his dream. As he awoke, he noted a warm pressure in his side that hadn't been there the night before.

Startled, he looked down...to the sight of Miyuki's now tiny body curled up next to his, her eyes clenched tightly shut, and one hand resting on Olguin's still clothed chest, fabric from his shirt snared in her clenched hand.

Olguin took deep, steady breathes to calm his racing heart.

'Just a dream...and Miyuki.' He thought to himself, a small smile coming to his face as he looked down at his much younger friend.

So many memories...

Shaking his head, he gently shook Miyuki awake.

"Time to wake up, Michan."

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki blinked sleepily and smiled up at him...and blinked again in surprise.

Misery settled over her tiny features as she cast her gaze down over her small body.

"It wasn't a dream..." she said quietly, tears threaten to start all over again

[Anonymous]

Olguin gave a slow nod in response...his own eyes reflecting Miyuki's own sadness.

"Unfortunately it wasn't, but I WILL find a way of reversing that curse." He stated, giving her a firm hug.

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki said nothing, simply clinging tightly to him, and nodding her head.

Her distress was so evident, it might as well have been present in the air itself.

"Olchan....I'm scared..."

[Anonymous]

Olguin ran his hand through her hair, gently murmuring reassurances to the scared girl.

"I'll be with you, and I won't EVER let anyone hurt you."

[Bean Bandit]

Miyuki nodded. "Thank you..." Even so, she didn't reliquish her grip on Olguin just yet. Suddenly, She looked up.

"Olchan," She said miserably,"I haven't even got any clothes that'll fit..."
