Zero Kiryuu & Takeru Takaishi

[ Ishtar was relieved to see both of them unharmed for the most part. She smiled as Takeru rushed towards her. She patted his head, and smiled softly at his greeting. ]

Ah, Zero found you first huh? That makes me feel very relieved. I was worried what might have happened to you and Patamon out there by yourselves.

[ She replied, and returning his hug. Ishtar was fond of children, strangely enough. ] I don't think any of us wanted to show up here like this, honestly...

[ Thank you Korra for saving her from falling to her death. Anyway, she waves at Zero with a smug grin. Is that a smile, maybe? If it was, then Ishtar totally caught it. Though, she won't be making too many comments about his expressions. There were more important things to worry about. ]

Yeah better later than never right? I got a little lost along the way~

[cresthopes]

[As Takeru continued the hug, he just looked back at Zero and then back at Ishtar]

Yeah, he did but he was helping me out! I was going to go look for some campfire but he found me instead. I guess it was a good thing or else I would have never found you! But I didn't know that you know Zero-san!

[Or for that matter, he didn't even know what his name was! Still, he gave a giggle] It's kind of funny how Cerealia works doesn't it? That we end up finding each other somehow!

But the important thing now is that you're not lost anymore so we can work together and figure out how to set up a camp! It wouldn't be good if we didn't have a fire or something!

[leashed_hunter]

[Zero was still wary of making his position known with a fire, but he wasn't alone anymore. He knew Ishtar would need a source of heat once it got colder late on, and the kid probably needed the same.]

Just call me Zero.

[He told the kid before heading back to build a fire for them]

Zero Kiryuu

Stop apologizing, you idiot.

[ Ishtar replied with a soft laugh. She didn't need that kind of apology for something he wanted at the moment. The situation couldn't be helped and she wasn't going to let him run off on his own the way he was. He might not really hurt anyone, but he might hurt himself. She knew him well to think just that.

She wrapped her arms around his back with a light pat along with it to let him know that all was well on her part. Ishtar knew how to fix her own wounds, so it wasn't like she would be bleeding to death or anything. His breath tickled her neck, but the sensation wasn't anything different from what she had already experienced. A slight wince of pain when he finally bit down on her.

The pain wasn't anything compared to what she had experienced. It was almost like a paper cut, only not at all. Ishtar didn't know what came with vampires from different worlds when they drank the blood of others, but for Zero, he'd probably be overwhelmed with a lots of things, when drinking her blood, mostly it was her own emotions, however there's a unique taste to her blood compared to most people, due to her being a descendant of Phelios. ]

Zero Kiryuu

[leashed_hunter]

[His fingers tightened against her skin when his instincts registered the first taste of blood. Zero had never taken blood from a normal human before. It tasted different from Ichiru's. From Kaname's and even... the name of the unknown person evading his grasp but it didn't matter. His bloodlust latched onto the girl in front of him now. He pulled close, as his lips moved against her skin, drinking deeper. The gulps of blood laced with something he could not pinpoint were returning sanity back to his mind, and along with it, memories and emotions that laced the blood he was drinking.]

I ended up typing all of this for you I'm so very sorry only not D|

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar could feel the strength of the fingers curling around her skin as he feasted on her blood. Even if she had experienced it before-- that feeling of blood leaving her system was never really pleasant. It was a very strange, tickling and slightly painful sensation. However, compared to the many times she had been bitten, this one was probably a lot more gentle. In the sense that she knew Zero wouldn't purposely try to hurt her, no matter how strong he latched to her as he drank her blood.

There were a lot of sinking emotions in her blood, mostly the strong emotions of great sadness, and guilt overpowering everything else. A sense of duty and many more things were mixed in the blood. That was only the start, though. There were several flashbacks or images of a certain dark haired knight that she had grown fond of, from her childhood to when she turned into a teenager. Those flashes were suddenly dissolving into a more obvious and noticeable face of a vampire that they both knew from Facility. The only difference was that the vivid image was when the dark haired knight and Yujinn, another person that they knew were leaving the castle, and Ishtar had followed the two of them.

There was a lot of mixed emotions in that scene, only to be brought to something much warmer when the long silver haired vampire's hand was momentarily gripped by the girl as inaudible words were said. Eventually, the vampire's hand gripped onto the princess and they were watching silently as the two familiar figures disappeared into the night. There were more vivid flashbacks such as when Ishtar young and asked her caretakers why she didn't have a mom or a dad, and the occasional times she had suffered from being poisoned and tucked into bed as well as the feeling of betrayal when she thought that her guardian didn't love her.

There were some other flashbacks from Facility--seeing the white rooms and walls were pretty obvious, along with the splattered blood that painted the memory. A tall slender man, with sharp red eyes, and a butler appeared to have caused the bloodshed-- and yet another one not as clear as the image of the man with red eyes. This one was overpowered by guilt as all there was in the image was a lot of blood, vivid amounts of it, piling and piling.

It seemed endless. The longer he stayed connected, the darker the feelings were, guilt, sadness, depression. The earlier memories were nothing compared to these, however, there was always that feeling of warmth, happiness, and others buried in the sorrows. It was just turning everything dark, black, painted with blood. The emotions just kept coming and coming and Ishtar herself was unaware of what kind of feelings were being transmitted with the blood that was being taken. She didn't know that there would be shared feelings, or memories. Even if they were flashbacks, they were memories that she didn't want to resurface or bring up with Zero.

Those kinds of thoughts continued to manifest themselves. She had a firm grip on him, still, unsure how much blood he needed, but she was patient and she trusted him. Everything would be okay. It would all be over soon. She just closed her eyes and allowed it to continue. She knew he was hurt, and upset, but she didn't ever want to leave him alone. He was someone important to her and that could never be replaced. Along with those images that he was getting, there may have been brief flashes of himself, and Ichiru along with others that were rather warm and heartfelt. ]

Nanoa

That wouldn't be very pleasant.

[ She replied eyeing the creature that was still trying to claw at whatever barrier Nanoa had. ]

Maybe? I wouldn't want one of them to be attracted to me though. It looks really aggressive.

[ She replied shaking her head before adding. ] Do you know what's going on here? It's been kind of a wild ride for me so far and I have no idea what the heck is going on.

[zenryokuzenkai]

Aggressive is probably a little kind for it.

[ It attacks her magic barrier uselessly even more. ]

It would almost be cute if it didn't occasionally make that horrible noise.

[ And as if on cue, it skitters creepily. ]

I don't really know either. Looks like whoever flooded Cerealia thinks it's a good idea to just take us out of the colony altogether.

[xroyal_bratx]

Vicious then?

[ Ishtar could go one really. ]

What is that weird noise anyway? Can it not speak human language?

[ She tried to eye it a bit closer. ]

...Yeah looks it. I'm not really a fan of being taken against my will twice in one world. Ugh, this is a huge mess. I hate vegetation the most.

Zero Kiryuu

[xroyal_bratx]

(continued from here)

[ Ishtar did her best not to lean on him too much as she nodded her head. She wasn't quite sure what she was doing prior to running out like this. She must have seem really out of it to not even realize she left the apartment and god knows how she even made it to the train tracks in the first place. ]

A bad dream?

[ She tilted her head a little as he said that, pausing. ]

It seems like I was, but I can't remember what I dreamed about.

[leashed_hunter]

[He kept walking his eyes on the route ahead.]

Duzell.

Takeru Takaishi

[ Ishtar could understand the overbearing types very well. She could be one of those herself, so it's not something she's a stranger to. Of course, it still means that people cared about them enough to be overbearing about it.

However, sometimes they just need to be able to make their own decisions. That's just how they were going to grow up and learn. ]

I see. It's good to hear at least. In a way, it feels nostalgic maybe?

[ She mused giving the other a head tilt. She looked towards the sky and past the buildings as she waited for him to reply. She nodded her head when he did. ]

I'll be fine. I don't think anything will stalk us this high up but they do I can handle them. You look really pale and I don't want anything to happen to you.

[ She replied with a smile. He looked very tired and she didn't want him to get any more ill than he was. ]

[cresthopes]

A little bit. I know my brother would always be overprotective of me but I know that we were in the Digital World though. So I guess it makes it a little okay that he was always looking out after me.

[Not that he really likes it but at the same time, he did feel gulity for accidentally making his brother really sad too. While he was okay in the end, it still made him worried.

But as he rubbed his eyes, he began to mumble some more.]

Yeah but...if anything happens to you, I don't want Zero to be sad. I think he would get really mad!

Marco Reiji

I guess you have a point. I'm just more worried about people's health if anything when it comes to that stuff.I hear it makes people "crash."

[ She replied with a more relaxed tone once he caught on. He's not such a bad guy after all. She keeps her smile as she looks around at the drink menu. ]

Honestly, I'd rather have a normal drink than something like this anyway... and it's fine don't worry about it. There's so many people here that it's hard to determine where they're from just by looking at them.

sorry for the delay! feel free to disregard

[drinkscola]

Ah, yeah, that's... Definitely a thing, I'd say.

[ and the answer is just to drink more, obviously! but he knows that's a less-than-satisfactory reply to give.

a nod as she continues. ]

—Perhaps there's a more normal one to get, then. I imagine all the sun would make people thirsty, even virtually. [ he doesn't have a soda to offer her, or else he would have by now! ] ... May I ask where it is you're from, then?

Zero Kiryuu

[xroyal_bratx]

[ continued from here ]

[ That already brought concern to her when he stiffened up. Ishtar tilted her head to the side and looked up at him straight in the eyes. ]

Hey, what's with the silence? You're making me nervous.

[ She paused a moment before adding. ]

No hiding things remember?

[ She gave him a small smile. ]

[leashed_hunter]

Why... didn't you....

[ His words trail off as her eyes steal his thoughts with their steady gaze. If he'd known, then what? What would he have done? What would he have-- ]

... You should have said something.

Takeru Takaishi

[xroyal_bratx]

[ continued from here ]

[ Ishtar would take whatever he could offer to her as words. She didn't want him to think too hard on it helping her piece things together. ]

...Robots that were suppose to help you?

[ She replied with a frown on her face as he said that. By the sound it the whole situation probably turned really sour fast. Of course, her hunch was right when Takeru told that the robots started to attack them and that they were seen as friends before they went berserk. That's really not something she'd like to hear especially for a child to have to go through that. Ishtar didn't really know what to say other keeping her brows furrowed. ]

That's bad. I can't believe they'd do that to people. Especially those that you know have some serious trust issues or trauma. I can't imagine them being okay with this kind of set up at all. Oh-- wh-- what? I don't think it's a good idea to pick any of those sides. They're both involved somehow and the last thing we need is people here dividing up in different factions or groups. That's just screwed up.

[ Yeah Ishtar won't be taking that lying down nope. ]

[cresthopes]

[He didn't want to remember how he had to fight in order to win. He knew he had to in the Digital World and fighting was an important thing. But fighting against his friends? That was another thing entirely. He didn't a repeat of what happened between his parents and how nobody got along. He couldn't stand losing anyone else that was close to him.

And especially not in a place like this]

Which is why I hope that everyone here will choose something else. I don't want to ever fight any of my friends again! It was horrible enough having to see my brother fight Taichi-san, I think it's just as worse here!

[Of course, he also had to fight Taichi's robot too. Not that it was a pleasant experience but it just proved his point]

What makes them think they can do that to everyone?!

Teddie

[xroyal_bratx]

[ continued from here ]

---

[ Ishtar was the type to get into trouble a lot so running away is usually the answer, so that's why she's pretty good at running but that doesn't really help her in this situation because her cat is faster and now she lost the darn thing. Stupid Bells and she ran right into poor Teddie in that awkward thing they call clothing of sorts. She's not entirely fond of running around barely clothed, even of her lack of modesty is typical.

Overdramtics are fun maybe... ]

L-Lady? I'm not that old...

[ She furrowed her brows as she slowly got off of him and back on her feet. She offered him a hand. ]

Sorry, that was bad timing. Are you okay?

[ Please look anywhere else but her chest.... cuz you know that's totally not cool. ]

[teddiecircus]

Ah, I didn't mean to say you seem old! More like charming! A charming beautiful flower!

[Insulting a girl was really the last thing he had on his mind! It would put shame on his name! Kind of. Not that she knew that.

He takes the offered hand and tries for his best smile.]

Thank you, I'm fine! How about you?

[And hey, it doesn't hurt to look a little, does it?]

Rock Lee

[xroyal_bratx]

[ continued from here ]

---

[ It will eventually fade. She'll get over it somehow. ]

I guess you got a point but still I'm not entirely sure I want to trust that thought. Yeah-- probably. I'm not exactly the type that gets into fights or battles. It's what I get for being lazy, I suppose.

[ She replied giving the other a small laugh. ]

O-Oh you will really? Aahaha, I'm not sure I want to find out the hard way when I drink it and it's too late.

[ Ishtar will eventually remember his name and then she'll probably apologize a million times for it. ]

[niceguypose]

[Good for her!!]

It is alright, Miss! It is never too late to start training hard! I would gladly guide you through an intense push-up set at any moment!

[Lee smiles and raises a thumbs up!]

Then, let me be the one to do it for you! I am ready to take any risk!

[xroyal_bratx]

[ continued from here ]

---

[ Ishtar nodded her head. ]

Well for now, I guess. Do you like talking up close or maybe it's a habit of sorts?

[ Maybe he might be able to answer the questions, maybe. ]

[painted_seals]

[ He smiles, eyes curving. ]

I read that the best way to make friends is to be close to them.

[ Sai... read between the lines! ]
