Motto’s mouth fell open as the area lit up and the strange lovey-dovey theme was in its full glory. He didn’t really listen as the girl spoke, and turned slowly to take it all in. The moody carvings were so unexpected, the Hunter’s mind struggled to process it. Was this somehow connected to graves?? Or was this another whole …. Place? Why? Just … why? The images of two figures dancing, embracing, kissing…it kinda pissed him off. Just above this strange romance cave was the burial place of his dear friend and mentor. It was like a perversion or something. He had come to the NGL to mourn.. and he did, but damn..this was makin’ it weird and foolish. His hands slowly tightened into fists as Motto blinked at the half-lidded faces gazing at one another, and all the damn hearts. So many hearts.

Motto’s jaw twitched and his heart rate picked up. He wasn’t in the mood for this. It was like some kinda mockery. Everywhere, even the floor and the pillars themselves.. hearts. Kissing. The raven’s aura churned and his eyes hardened.

“Gotta be a way out.” He growled to himself and strode towards the slightly raised area between two pillars. It seemed to be the area’s central point; a heart-shaped stone sitting atop a pile of small rocks all covered in grime and cobwebs. Maybe he could use it to bash his way out.

Jacob made another circuit of the strange tomb, leaning forward to inspect the hieroglyphics and images. He wasn't really paying Motto any mind at this point. "Fascinating. This looks to be some cross between a tomb and a...love temple? Or something like that. There have been other passion and love temples that have somewhat similar...um...what're you doing?"

The rabbit had finally worked his way around the room to the little dais, where he'd found Motto closing in on the pile of rubble with a dark look in his eyes. He hurried up onto the dais himself, trying to interpose himself between the man and whatever blunt instrument he was looking for. "Wait wait wait, this is what I was looking for! This is perfect You can't just break something!!" Nevermind the hole that their entrance had caused.

"Come on, uh, uh, Motto!" he said, struggling to remember the man's name. "We're the first people to set foot in this tomb in...who knows how long!
This is a huge find. I mean, sure, it's weird, but look at all of this! It's fascinating!"

The Hunter’s hand hovered over the old stone.

“There are plenty of other rocks in this place Miss. Plus there’s no way I can get out through there.” He glanced up at the small opening he accidentally created and back down at the rabbit. “Sure I could toss you out, but then what? I’m gonna live down here? I’m pretty sure you’re not gonna bring me food everyday.”

Motto knew his argument was sound. Anyone would totally agree that living in a love pit was unrealistic.

“I can even smell … vanilla or somethin’. It’s really faint, but it’s makin’ me crazy. This whole place is weird and I’m sure it’s a historical treasure trove or whatever, but I gotta get out of here Miss. Besides, I’m still protecting ya, and I can’t do that stuck down here, can I?”

Enough talk. The Hunter stooped over and grabbed hold of the moss-covered heart stone. It was just a stupid rock anyway. If it was super special or precious, then it would have been on a table or something, right? That’s how these things worked as far as he knew. Had she been looking for this place? If she just told him, he could have maybe helped her find it without falling in and stuff.

Jacob sighed as he tried to put himself between Motto and the rock. "I have a rope in my pack, you doof," he said with a huff. "I could let it down after you...throw me out. Besides, I'm sure there IS an entrance here! Somewhere."

He reached out as the Hunter picked up the rock, grabbing hold of it with both hands (he wasn't nearly as strong as Motto was) and tugged on it. "Anyway, if you're going to be protecting me, he added, quite reasonably he thought, "you're going to need to stick around, because I'm not going anywhere." He tugs again, face screwed into a frown of effort, leaning back to put more force on trying to pull the rock out of Motto's grasp.

"This is, erf, a huge find. There's, mmng, no way I'm, gonna, just, leave it here!" After several fruitless moments of trying to divest Motto of the rock, he lets go and huffs up at the Hunter with both hands on his hips. "Look, just...don't break anything yet, okay? I'm sure we can find the way out, so don't go...throwing rocks around just yet, alright?"

Their hands touched the stone at the exact same moment. It was then that Motto heard the faint strumming. It sounded like a ukulele but that was way too weird, and impossible, and just weird. The noise softly continued as the bunny tried to pull the heart rock out his hands and while she spoke. The bewildering music was trumped by the girl’s chastisement; he felt stupid for wanting to break his way out like some kind of brute. Just as the bunny finished her question, Motto started:

“Do you hear me, I'm talking to you…” Eyes widening, the Hunter couldn’t believe his own ears. It was his voice.. his .. mouth! Singing! Saying stuff he didn’t even…

"...Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying..”


His hands flew to his throat in shock. What the hell??? He didn’t know he could sing so damn good!! But why was he singing? He hadn’t been thinking about singing, had he? What about those words? What the hell what the hell what the hell????

Motto reached forward and held her hand; his left palm meeting hers in an upperclasp with his forearm just beneath hers. The Hunter's right hand touched the rabbit’s back and brought her close just as he began to lead into a waltz.

He blinked in amazement as his body seemed to move smoothly and in time to the music. Wait. The music. He was singing. And… dancing. How? It wasn’t a hallucination, was it? He could feel it all and hear it all so vividly, but Motto had no sense of control!

Jacob blinked, his eyes widening as Motto...broke into song? Was this some sort of weird joke? Motto had already proved he was a little odd, but this was definitely outside even the hunter's idiosyncrasies as far as Jacob knew. Even Motto looked surprised by this strange turn of events. But, as he opened his mouth to ask what was going on, something quite different came out.

"I hear you calling,
In the stars and the rain,"
The bunny's tail fluffs while his ears fold back in distress. What was going on?! He wasn't meaning to...

"My heart yearns
For when I can see you again..."


Jacob gaped. He was too startled even to resist when Motto seized his hand and pulled him forward and started...dancing. Even worse, his own hands moved on their own, grasping the Hunter's own and resting his other hand on the taller man's shoulders. Now, he could hear faint strains of music, ghosting through the air as he moved with Motto, stepping into the waltz smoothly, even though he was significantly shorter.

“rrrRRr.” Motto fought against his body’s movements as he continued to dance around smoothly with the bunny girl. Despite how awesome he looked, Motto wanted to stop. It was one thing to kick ass at dancing, but to be some kind of weird puppet all of a sudden? No. She'd been singing too. She sounded great, but Motto was pretty sure he could see fear in her eyes. Something crazy was happening! Just when it occurred to him to use Gyo in order to detect any unusual aura patterns, Motto’s lungs filled once more and he crooned,

“Kiss me sweetl---I’M NOT DOING THIS!” The Hunter’s panicked shout echoed throughout the buried cavern while the music faded away. Panting, Motto stumbled and released his companion. With a strangled groan he backed away from the pretty rabbit until a wall stopped him.

“I. wasn’t. singing.” Motto insisted with wide eyes. “I –I mean I was..but it.. I had no control! I don’t even know what I said..somethin’ about the ocean or whatever THE POINT IS….” Swallowing, the raven held onto the wall behind him as if it was going to protect him somehow, “something just happened to me.” Motto wasn’t sure what else to say. Then it dawned on him. “Hey…” His features flickered with suspicion. “..this isn’t just a coincidence..is it?”

She just happened to be in the same remote graveyard as he was, and they just happened to fall in a secret chamber, and now this??? Motto narrowed his eyes and raised his aura to a more defensive form. “I don’t like being tricked. Especially in this place.” Maybe she was that mayjuu’s friend or something, looking to get revenge on him! “Get away from me. I don’t want to fight you Miss. Even if your nen is strong, I’ll beat you.”

Jacob twirled in Motto's arms, his body moving without any input on his part. Despite the serene smile on his lips, the rabbit boy's heart hammered in his chest as he was pressed close to the Hunter. He leaned up, standing on tip-toe to ki-

Then, Motto broke free of whatever spell was holding them, and the bunny wobbles and topples to the floor with a squeak as the Hunter jerks back. Thankfully, the impact jarred him free as well, and he rolled over onto his back, rubbing his face.

"Um, okay, what was that?" he murmured as he picked himself up, looking quizzically at the Hunter. They were both singing - which was peculiar, since he personally had never really tried to sing before - but...if Motto wanted to insist. The bunny watched quizzically as the man worked himself up over...a coincidence?

"Wait, what?" Jacob took a step back from the accusation. "What are you talking about? I didn't know any of this was here! And I have no idea what just happened to us." He watched as Motto backed away further, a quizzical expression crosses his girly face. "Okay, wait. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to fight you either. And...what's 'Nen'?"

The bunny girl’s confusion was pretty convincing. Motto blinked a few times and relaxed.

“You don’t know nen?” His brow furrowed, and the Hunter frowned. “You mean to tell me that you came to a notoriously dangerous…off-limits area…without nen? Miss. That’s it. I’m getting you outta here. Wherever… this is.” Sniffing, Motto could only pick up on the dust, the rabbit, and that vanilla scent. Stupid vanilla love pit. He’d done some really weird stuff just a minute ago, and it was freaking him out.

“You sure this isn’t a trick?” He turned with a raised eyebrow to the girl. “Cause if it is, it’s not funny.” If she started laughing he’d be so ticked. Motto fell for tricks a lot, and he hated it when people laughed at him when he did it. Sometimes he’d join in and laugh too, but deep down he wanted to go into the woods and never come out again. It occurred to him to use Gyo and see if she was for real. Narrowing his eyes, the raven studied the petite bunny carefully. She seemed to have the usual signs of one hadn’t been opened yet; a subdued aura with very little pulses and dips.

Motto touched his throat without thinking as he flicked his gaze back to the heart stone. There seemed to be a faint trace of aura on it!!! Gasping, he pointed at the rock and babbled,

“Dah! Tha-that’s it! That thing! It’s got aura… different than yours. Don’t go near it!” The Hunter stared hard at the offending item and wondered at how powerful it was. That tiny bit of aura had made him sing and dance. It was terrifying.

The only thing Jacob did was stare quizzically at Motto. He certainly didn't start laughing; he didn't see anything remotely funny about the situation, especially the Hunter's clear confusion.

"Um...no?" he said, warily straightening up again. "I've never heard the word before. As for what I'm doing here...Yes? I mean, this is nothing new for me..." Jacob never considered what he did to be criminal. After all, the people in graveyards were all dead (or, they were supposed to be). They wouldn't mind him taking the occasional souvenir - and he was always surprised when the living took exception to it.

At Motto's outburst, the bunny trots forward and drops into a crouch, looking curiously at the stone. "Really? This has an aura?" He points at the stone with a finger, the armored tip just a few inches away from the curiously shaped stone. "And what do you mean, 'my aura'? Does this have something to do with that...'nen' you mention before?"

He looked up at Motto curiously from his crouch, then straightens up. If just this stone was going to do something like this, he had to see what lay deeper in! Sure, he was curious about whatever Motto was babbling about, but his wanderlust was far more powerful right now!
