The Start of it All

[acetalon]

"I take no offense at your words.  Most likely that fate will come to pass sooner than later,"  he said closing his eyes self consciously.

He was extremely puzzled.  How was he supposed to react to all this?  What were his feelings?  Decidedly neutral at this point, he kept his voice just that: neutral.

"My apologies, it was rude of me to not introduce my companions.  Kwok over there lost his memories, the one with the white hair is Shi, who is currently trying to help Kwok with his memories.  Both of them are actually my brothers.  Carthrat is that one"  he pointed Rat out,  "and we have a few more friends who are not currently here.  As for me, I'm...Ace."  

Ace felt a senes of deja vu as he told her all this.  He had refrained from mentioning any Aspect info, figuring that that information was as of now pointless to keep bringing up unless it was for dramatic flair, which he didn't want.

[Shuten]

"I shall call you Mr. Ace then." Sakura stated simply. "Oh and there is no reason for you to apologise." Sakura turned and looked towards the horizon before continuing.

"I was the one at fault." Sakura turned towards Ace and smiled gently. "Anyways might I join you for the foreseeable future?" Sakura waited patiently for Ace's answer.

"I...we would appreciate it.  Your companionship would be very enjoyable for us.  Though how much excitement you would find to your liking is questionable."  His neutral expression slipped into a chagrin.  

"Me and my companions...have no direction.  We have no idea where to go.  Can you help us?"

[Naphtali]

Shi smirked.  "Ah, now bro... I could explain how I'm going to return your memory... but you wouldn't understand it.  Just c'mere!"

[Shuten]

"Whether my presence in your group is a boon or a bane is something only the future can tell." Sakura smiled gently as she walked backwards with her hands behind her head.

Unfortunately she wasn't paying much attention and tripped on a rock sticking out of the ground.

"Ite...." Sakura groaned painfully.

Ace did crack a grin at that her plummet, but he was careful to hide it from Sakura.  He stood next to her and offered his hand.  

"Would you like some help?"  He asked.

He paused only for a second to call out, "Kwok!  Just trust your brother and do it already, we don't have all day!"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok hesitated even after Ace and Shi yelled at him.  There was something about Shi that just screamed at him to watch out.  Like he had an aura of impending death or something.

"What's gonna happen to me?" he asked, still unsure.

[Naphtali]

"This is taking to long!"  Shi jumped forward and grapped Kwok.  His hands glowed with mutli-colored light, as he suddenly alter his brother's probability matrix wildly.

"Exposure to the energies of our family should awaken your memories!  The chaotic flux is like Kaos' power!"



[ooc-- Ace could have done this himself with an infusion of order or something.  As to why Shi didn't use his own power... duh.  Killing Kwok wouldn't actually help restore his memories.]

[Kwokinator]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kwok screamed as he sunk to his knees, holding his head in pain as his entire life, literally an eternity, of memories rushed into his head in the span of several seconds.

Alone.  He was so alone.  The Aspect of Space in a family of six, they were all eternal.  He dared not to get close to anyone, because he knew that they would eventually die, just like all others.  Even though he's constantly surrounded by Creation itself and the bustling lives of everyone, he was still, essentially, and utterly alone.

Until he met her.  She was supposed to be just a normal girl scout, but she made a lasting impression on him.  All he could think about was her, ever since the first time he met her.  They laughed together, and they cried together.  Even though he knew that she was just a mortal and would eventually pass away, he couldn't help but devote his heart to her.  

There was a gap... and a blank... and all he could remember next was that he was separating from her, and once again wandering around Existance aimlessly.

For only Creation knew how long, he walked alone in the darkness of his heart, shadowed by the memory of the girl scout and their mysterious separation.  Then came the goddess.

She was one of the most beautiful people he had ever laid his eyes on.  Even though some may consider her to be of the ditzy sort, but he thought no such thing.  She was kind, sweet, and utterly captivating.  At first, he was afraid to let her know of his curse, afraid that she might reject him because of that.  Due to some unforseen circumstances, his curse was revealed.  But to his relief, she accepted it openly and without any negative feelings.

But somehow... they separated again, until recently, when they met each other once more.  If there was one single moment of his eternal life where he was the happiest, that would be it.

Kwok's eyes rolled into the back of his head as the memory finished, and he collapsed onto the ground in unconsciousness.

OOC:  Yes, that was weird, I know.  Not a word ^_^;;

[Shuten]

Ace did crack a grin at that her plummet, but he was careful to hide it from Sakura.  He stood next to her and offered his hand.  

"Would you like some help?"  He asked.

Sakura blushed lightly as she grasped Ace's hand allowing him to pull her to her feet. Steadying herself against him she began to pull away to stand on her own.

Unfortunately her left leg had other plans. A sharp pain exploded causing her eyes to water. Unable to retain her balance she instinctively grasped the nearest thing to steady herself.

It just so happened that Ace was conveniently nearby.

OOC: ;p


Shuten

[acetalon]

OOC:  I don't suppose there'd be, I dunno, side effects or something to putting Kaos in Kwok, would there?  ^_^

*Crunch*

"Erk!"  Ace winced, but bit his lip to keep silent.  She had a strong grip.  He couldn't feel his arm anymore!

He put his hands on her shoulders to help steady her.  Grinning weakly, he hid his pain in a cheerful mask.  

This could be the last time he ever saw a girl again, so Ace made a decision.  Gathering his courage, he opened his mouth.

"Wow, your left leg looks pretty bad.  I better carry you,"  He blurted without thinking.

There was a moment of silence.

"Dammit, that was the lamest pickup line EVER!"  He thought.

[Shuten]

Fortunately for Mr. Ace the Evil Rock's victim was in too much pain to notice his faux paus. Nodding her head she waited to be picked up a slight blush beginning to form.

OOC: ...

*Bam Bam bam!*

Ace smashed his fist into the rock before chucking it off into the distance.

"Die, spawn of evil!"

Then he gently lifted Sakura from the ground, one supporting her back and the other under the crook of her legs.  He smiled sheepishly.  

"Err, sorry about that.  I get carried away sometimes.  So where to?"  

He looked behind him and saw Shi's handiwork.  Kwok was out cold on the ground.  

"Is he better now, Shi?"  Ace called out.  "Or is he still a pervert?"

[Naphtali]

Shi gave Ace a look.  "Hm?  I dunno, I was just fixing his memory, not his mental problems.  He's still a nutter."

Shi walked over and gave Kwok a kick.  "Get up!  I pity da foo' who lays down in front of me!  'Cause I kick 'is balls into his throat!"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok sat up with abruptly and screamed.

"ANGELA!!!"
