Facing the truth( Lakuri closed)

[Rex]

Kyriu started laughing after he heard what Lakuri told him. He was glad that they were able to resolve the matter so quickly. While he was pretty surprised at where Lakuri's hands were he didn't mind at all, in fact he kinda liked it. This combinded with what she said made him blush. He wanted to say something else but then something quite odd happened.

Kyriu wrapped his arms around Lakuri's back then started kissing her again. Then he pulled away then started giving her several short ones. After that he simply started kissing her neck as well all while massing her back. Finally Kyriu pulled away normally one would think he was done right?.....wrong! He placed his lips on her neck once more then slowly moved them onto her cheek, and finally on her mouth again.

After that he helped Lakuri up. '' I really love you kuri, give me a minute'' Kyriu said then hugged her, he was about to reach the bathroom when he stopped suddenly. The familiar blue aura surrounded his body then quickly spread out across the room. The male then went for the pillow in front of him. Then he took out a second tie that was resently bought by Kyriu. Then he tied his hair upwards in a samurai fashion.

Ryu then looked under the bed and picked up the real katana, after that he picked up the grey bag, and the now dry tank top. He walked up to lakuri with a completely emotionless face. ''' Wear them and meet me in the living room!''' he said then handed it to her .

After that he took Kyriu's white shirt then slipped it on without buttoning it. Then he quickly went into the other room.

The hair style for some reason made him look like 3 years older version of Kyriu.

He stopped at the couch and waited for lakuri

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri could only really blink when Kyriu started messing with her. She was glad that he was back to, whatever normal this would be concidered as.
She did happyliy kiss him back, however it was a bit diffrent... and not that it felt diffrent... but Kyriu just wasn't doing normal things. This made Lakuri's heart race pretty fast. especially as he kissed her neck. as he did this Lakuri held onto him tighter, simply because that was the only thing that she could do!
What Kyriu was doing felt so nice to her that she couldn't move!

Then sudenly Kyriu had helped her up and she was on her feet. Lakuri nearly fell over, but then Kyriu hugged her.
"A-alright Kyrii." she said in a slightly confused voice.
"I love you too." she added
Then waited for him to return
When he did, he was diffrent... but judgeing by very few things, she automatically knew.. This was Ryu agian.

Lakuri simply took her bag from him and nodded
"Ok Ryu, just give me a minute." She said and walked into the bathroom.

Since Ryu was now incontrol, Lakuri figured it better to change into her dress, since that what she walked around in public in.
However, Lakuri decided to not put everything on. she just put the actual dress peice, not her belt or the undershirt that whent with it.
Lakuri walked back into the liveing room and sat on the couch next to Ryu.
"What's up Ryu?" she said casually to him.

[Rex]

'' Were about to fix a problem'' he said to Lakuri he stood up then waited for quite some time. After that he quickly moved his hand an caught something in the air. Yuna suddenly came into focus. She was too afraid to look at him so she hid her face in her shoulder. After that she simply hugged him then quickly let go. '' I-I'' yuna began but was cut off.

'' SIT!'' was all Ryu said to her. Yuna sat on the other side of the chair and hid her face in it. She really didn't know what to do. Ryu however simply sat on th floor and did nothing. He appeared to be thinking.

He kept quiet for sometime still sitting with his back turned to them.


'' Lakuria-dono...please come here'' he said in a calm tone

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri simply looked up a bit confusedly at Ryu, what was he talking about?

But then she realised it when she saw Yuna agian, how she couldn't help but glare at. She definantly was a problem.

Lakuri however perked up agian when she later heard Ryu's voice agian.
Dono..? Dosn't that mean master?... Why is he calling me that? she thought and had a confused expression on her face... but she wsn't going to argure with him.
"Hai" she said then nealed down behind him.
"do ka shimashita Ryu-kun?" Lakuri asked... but then looked a bit surprised... why did she slip into that all the sudden?? that was really weird!
"Sorry." she said and shook her head
"What's wrong Ryu?" she asked

[Rex]

Ryu simply smiled at her use of the old dialect. He was really upset with what Yuna had done, so he wanted to torture her as much as possible. Ryu was also quite happy to have Lakuri on his side. Which was a bit odd since he yuna was sitting a few feet away. '' You fought well today, I'm glad to be at your side Lakuria-dono.'' he said. And with that he simply bowed his head, when he lifted it however he actually winked at her!

He then suddenly changed his attitude '' Yuna!! turn and face!'' he said while standing up then looking at her.

The ghost stood up slowly then walked infront of Ryu with her eyes closed.

'' Lakuria-dono feel free to do whatever you please during our conversation'' he said with smile.

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri was suddenly very VERYconfused. first off, Ryu winked at her... not even Kyriu did that! what was that about?!
she simply stared at him for a moment in disbelif.

But then her confusion was doubled by what he had said next, what was that suposed to mean!? because if he had originally planned for her to be able to really do whatever she wanted, then why had he called her out here in the first place.. there had to be somthing else going on here....
But the way he was speaking to Yuna, she figured she should at least eem as if she wasn'y playig much attention.
"Alright Ryu... I'm just going to go grab somthing.." she said confusedly

She walked into the other room and grabbed her note book, and then walked back out.
Then lakuri simply layed on her stomach on the couch and started doodling in it as usual, but she was also listening to what was going on.
"Let me know if you need me." she said since she was trying to pretend like she wasn't paying attention.

[Rex]

Ryu simply nodded when Lakuri left the room. He then turned his gaze to Yuna. He was incredibly happy to see her, but not to thrilled about her actions. What was she thinking? was it wise for her to any of this to Kyriu..no. Did she have a right? No. Why would she risk his one chance at freedom? Yuna simply looked at him with puppy dog eyes. '' I-i'm sorry..I'' She was quickly slapped by Ryu. She didn't look at him though, she felt like she truly deserved it.

'' I gave my life for you!!!! '' Ryu began. '' You repay my sacrifice...my hunting my desendant. Clinging on to a past memory!!, if you truly wanted his happiness...why would you prevent him from being with the one he loves....would you let anyone do that to you?'' Ryu said to her.

Yuna didn't respond she simply started crying on him. '' I-I'm sorry....I just wanted you back!'' she said. '' Thats no excuse!, if you want us to be together, you must stop this foolishness....take responsibilty for your actions'' Ryu said.

Yuna stopped crying then hugged Ryu for quite sometime. After that she went into the room Lakuri was in then bowed her head but didn't move.

'' Please forgive me.....Lakuri. I was being selfish.....I'm really sorry.'' she said.

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri heard what had been said, since she was laying not incredibly far away.
This sort of made her feel bad. It wasn't really Kyriu she wanted... it was Ryu.... Who apperently given his own life for her... that was so sweet.

Lakuri lifted her head and simply watched the two of them for a minute... maybe she should apologize to her...

But as soon as tthat thought crossed her mind, Yuna was suddenly infront of her, and heard what she said.
Lakuri sat up before she spoke.
"It's alright Yuna." she said with a smile. and reached out to her, semi forgetting she ws a ghost... but her hand acctually touched somthing! This was very strange... but she took the opprotunity.

"I heard whats been said between you and Ryu.." she said then stood up.. and hugged Yuna.
"I'm sorry as well. I didn't realize you were acctually after Ryu... I thought you where just trying to break me and Kyriu up." She paused.
"I'm really sorry I was such a bitch to you. I really am." she said and smiled at her
"Plus, you helped me.... Ever since I was a little girl, I was always scared of ghosts." Lakuri teased

[Rex]

Yuna was shocked when she was hugged she thought that no one other than Ryu was able to. She didn't try to hug back . She was also quite happy that she helped Lakuri as well. '' I'm glad '' yuna said. '' please let me saw goodbye to him, i want to apologize to him too'' she said. She wasn't sure if kuri would let her though.

'' You can bid him farewell the next time, If Lakuria-dono agrees.'' Ryu said. He wasn't taking any chances again so he decided to stay for a while.

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri simply nodded at what Yuna said
"Thats compleatly fine with me Yuna. I understand." Lakuri said with another smile. Then she turned to Ryu.... why was he continueing on calling her that.. it was kind of strange...

"Ryu, you don't have to keep calling me that..." she said in a bit of a confused voice.
"The way you two are acting, it makes me seem like I'm some sort of Princess or somthing. its kinda weird." Lakuri said and laughed.
"I'm not quite that special." She said and smiled at both of them.
Somewhere in Lakuri's mind however, she really thought she was.. even if she never would admit it.

Then Lakuri got to thinking about who she was talking to for some reason.. and it was really quite strange.... Who knew that flling in love with Kyriu would have ever ment that she would be standing here talking to a ghost, and one of his ansestors...
These thoughts mad Lakuri giggle.
"I'm sorry, This is all just sort of strange to me, I knew really thought I'd ever thought I'd have to just chill and talk to two dead people when I fell in love with Kyriu." she joked, not that she extremly minded it.... now.

[Rex]

Ryu shot Yuna a look after everything Lakuri said. Soon though Yuna started giggling herself since Lakuri's situation was funny to her. Ryu however failed to see anything to laugh about, being dead for this long wasn't fun. After Yuna stopped she simply waved at Lakuri then disappeared. This left Ryu standing there with his unbuttoned shirt quite akwardly.

He simply walked over to the bed then slipped the blade under it. After that he really didn't know what to do, so instead of saying anything he simply sat on the floor in front of Lakuri.

'' I'm glad this was resolved'' he said mostly to himself. For some reason he had't been looking at Lakuri for a while so he kept his face on the floor so he could avoid doing that.

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri waved back when Yuna did, then she was gone. A smile still remained on her face. She was also very happy that things were getting setled... just now hopefully nothing else would go wrong.

Lakuri looked at Ryu and also smiled. He seemed like he was being so akward. She had to find a way to fix that... otherwise things would just be boring... but the problem being... she really only understood how to make things MORE akward..... how would she fix it....

Lakuri then layed on the bed, upside down and hug her head over the edge. shetried to look at 'Ryu's' face, but she couldn't see it....
This was starting to get a litte akward for her as well... what was she suposed to do? just have both of them sit there? that would never end... she needed an un akward way to grab his attention....
Then she thought of it... What if she started to sing? that could grab his attention..... but the only song she really had in her head was the one from earlier... which she didnt really think anyone had heard... at least not Ryu.. so it was worth a try.... and mybe he would even understand it.. unlike everyone else.

(Translation)
At the end of the artificial paradise
Deep, deep in the bottom of the earth
I am fated to sing prayers
All alone
From the past that had nowhere to go
I weave voices going round and round
At the edge of the repeating history
I dedicate myself to the fate
Not knowing anything, I've been continuously singing
For the whole of my life
A song for the sun, a song for rain
A gentle requiem
At the end of the road to the paradise
Warm hands were offered
But couldn't reach me
At the distorted bottom of the dying world
I am fated to sing prayers
With the gentle voices sleeping in the forgotten past
As I change my despair to a smile
I sink to the bottom of tears


Hopefully this would be enough to get Ryu's attention... if not... she had nothig else to really do.... so she waited after she was done, hopefully He'd say somthing....

[Rex]

There was an odd silence as Lakuri sang. Ryu closed his eyes as if trying to grasp every word she was saying. It was probably the saddest song he had every heard in his life time. He didn't understand why she would sing such a thing. He didn't say anything at first still playing the song in his head...then he simply smiled more to himself really. Of course for some reason a small tear nearly fell down his cheek. And It would have, had he not wiped it quickly.

Ryu stood up then finally spoke to Lakuri. '' Perhaps....it would be wise to change your hearts feelings. While your song was lovely..and touching...I fear it would make Kyriu weep for days'' Ryu said.

'' Tell me, why you sing of such sorrow...when your life is now filled with joy?''

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Lakuri simply laughed at the first thing that Ryu had said.
"Your right, but I don't think that Kyriu would understand it, being in a diffrent language and all." she said in a surpriseingly happy tone.
Lakuri flipped herself onto her stomach and resed her chin on one of her heads, which was being proopped up by her elbow.

"Well...." she started... she had to think of the right way to answer his second question.

"Until now, my life has been everything but happy. I don't know if you know much about me through Kyriu... but basically, I was kidnapped as a small child, and forced to work as a theif to survive for several years. Then my boss tried to kill me when I was about eleven..." Lakuri paused for a moment.. and then got up.
"I'll continue in a minute, please excuse me till then." she said and then grabbed her tank top and stepped into the bathroom.

When she came out she had changed into it and dropped her dress ontop of her bag.
"As I was saying...." Lakuri started back up agian.
"My boss had tried to kill me, so I got this." she said and then lifted the side of her tank top up, so show where the actual top of her scar was. Somthing she haddnt acctually shown Kyriu yet since it never really came up. he has just seen it on her stomach.
" This nasty thing nearly killed me... but, thats also when I realised that I had a slightly unusual power to heal a bit faster than anyone else." She said and smiled... she hoped that this wasn't too much for Ryu to get at one time...

"Then my life got a little better when I was on my own. it was sort of like a new start... but everyone around still hated me. I turned into being known as the local theif girl... so I had to compleatly change my apperence." she said and laughed a little.
" Not to long ago I was telling Kyriu I used to be blond, can you belive that?" she said playfully.

"Anyways, After i changed myself, no one was chaseing after me anymore, but people still didn't like me, which i really could never figure out. Everyone around me just always wanted me to die, and told me i was a waste of a human being...."
"When I got to be fifteen or so, I don't exactoly remember anymore, a guy offered me the chance to make everyone like me. He had heard me singing as I walked down the street a few times and thought I wuld make a great singer. So I acepted his offer.. but it turned out to be not so good. The man would force me to preform, and if I refused, he'd hurt me. so I had no choice. I put up with it for a year and finally I fought him back, and stole a bit of his money. Thats how I got my gun.. I don't like useig it, but it makes me more imidateing, and no one had really messed with me since." she paused and looked around.
"a year or two after that I was landed here in Traverse Town.... which wasn't terribly long ago, even though it feels like it." she said with a smile.
"and alsmost imediatly after I got here.. I met Kyriu. he saved me from some Heartless. and after that... things just started happening all over the place... and I sot of fellin love with him. and apperently so did he..and I think you know the rest." Lakuri said sort of embarassedly
"Thats why my song is so sad... because it wasn't until recently that I could find happyness... and that song I sang... was my favorite when I was younger, cause it helped me vent out my emotions, without anyone really undertanding me... I'm sorry I kinda talked you're ear off... I'll be quite now if yoou want." she said very embarassdly and looked away from Ryu.

[Rex]

Ryu for some reason nearly passed out when she returned in her tank top, probably because of what happened the last time he saw here in it. He shook the feeling off then listened to every last word she said without interupting her. It was also quite a sad tale, which was quite upsetting. He decided to tell her something about himself as well.

'' When I was smaller....I was kidnapped by a group of bandits. They mistreated me, and forced me to steal for them.....once I did what they asked they dropped me down a well. I was found by an army soldier looking for water. That is what made m join the army. After my commander bretayed me later in my life...I refused to trust anyone'' Ryu said to Lakuri.

'' That is until I met you, I thank you for speaking with me'' Ryu said actually meaning it.
