Nickle laughed at all of the little girl's questions. "Slow down Alexia. Alright let's see. I don't have any pets. There is PLENTY to do here. I'm far from tired and no you can't put make up on me, but if Cerium is home, then you can play around with her." Nickle opened the door, and waited for Alexia to go in before closing it behind the two of them. As they took their shoes off, Nickle spotted a set that wasn't his or Cerium's size. Was somene else here? Nickle's house was built around a relatively big bonzai tree, which was at the center of the house under the skylight. The wooden floors were built around it and all the rooms had thick walls and sliding doors so sound didn't easily travel from room to room unless a door was open. On the first floor was Nickle's office, the doorway to his garage and workshop, the bathroom, the kitchen and lounge. Upstairs was where the bedrooms and second bathroom with a show was located. There was a grand total of 5 bedrooms, having been built as such from the previous owner, who Nickle could only assume had once been part of the ninja guild due to all the secret switches and areas inside the house. Nickle had disable most of them however, for safety. ----------------------------------------------------- Cerium was humming to herself as she prepared the vegetables while Chizu cut the meat. "Ah thank you Chizu-chan! And please, don't be so formal~ We're outside school now, call me Ceri-chan, mkay? You're practically family after all~" Cerium then heard the front door open and voices come echoing through. "Sounds like Ni-kun is home~ Why don't you go greet him I'll finish up here." ----------------------------------------------------- As Nickle and Alexia moved in, Nickle found himself smiling broadly as Chizu came out wearing an apron. She came to help with dinner? It was the sweetest thing Chizu had done to date. Nickle moved forwards to kiss Chizu lightly on the cheek before going down on his haunches to speak with Alexia, "Alexia, this is Uncle Nickle's girlfriend Chizu. She knew your papa very well. She actually was friends with him first before she was friends with me." Chizu then stood up, brushing Chizu slightly and nudging her inconspicously in the process to indicate it was a bit of a delicate situation. |

Alexia looked in awe at the magnificant size of the front hallway...it was like HUGE, well of course it would, she was just a four year old child that was inquisitive about EVERYTHING! so when Chizu walked around the corner and started talking to him, her eyes widened more..."umm Chizu-nee-chan.. Mama said... you were the lady that could use wind as a weapon, that is so cool!" hyperness and just pure happy energy radiating off her in waves, "oh.. wait you are Uncle Nickle's girl friend, does that mean you're getting married and will be having kiddies? does.... that mean you're my aunty? Oooh does... that mean your kiddies will have.. dual powers like me?" Alexia somehow once again said all this in a long breath. Giggling, Alexia laughed a bit more and put her rabbit on her head and ran off towards the kitchen....before stopping short and looking at the pretty older lady in the kitchen... "Oh.. Hello, what are you doing? Can I see?" |

Chizu nodded as Nickle nudged her in Alexia's direction. She could pretty much tell that it was a delicate situation, just from the fact that Alexia was here. She gave Alexia a smile. She seemed like a pretty cheerful kid, and she looked a lot like Roz. She could see a little bit of Kinclex in her, but with her smiling so much it looked almost like Nickle instead. Which...was a whole other level of creepy she wasn't willing to get into right now. She crouched down so that she was at eye level with the young girl. "It's nice to meet you, Alexia-chan," she said. "oh.. wait you are Uncle Nickle's girl friend, does that mean you're getting married and will be having kiddies? does.... that mean you're my aunty? Oooh does... that mean your kiddies will have.. dual powers like me?" Chizu froze at Alexia's line of questioning, her face turning red. "Ah, well...I...uh...you see..." She coughed, clearing her throat. "Ah, that's a long way off, Alexia-chan. I'm still in high school." Inside, she sighed in relief as Alexia walked off to bother Cerium. Crisis averted. For now. She straightened up and sighed once Alexia was gone, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Her face was still slightly red. "Phew," she said, then folded her arms and turned towards Nickle. "Cute kid." Embarrassing questions... she added quietly. |

Nickle had to put his hand in front of his mouth to stifle the laughs that were trying to escape as Alexia bombarded Chizu with questions and as he watched Chizu's reactions as she answered. Nickle put his arm around Chizu and kissed her lightly on the forehead, having caught everything of what she'd said considering they were standing right next to each other. "She is cute. As the saying goes 'out of the mouths of babes'." Nickle chuckled and elaborated, "Children call it how it is, they speak nothing but the truth." He then moved his arm off of Chizu's shoulders and came to stand just in front of her. Nickle smiled stroking his chin, looking more thoughful than anything else really, "The thing of it all is, that both Celestial and I were just recently a year out of High School and we were contemplating marriage." Nickle then moved past Chizu, making for the kitchen, "I still have her engagement ring here." ----------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in the kitchen, Cerium turned around upon hearing Alexia's voice. "Ah~ Hello there sweetie~ Where'd you come from?" Cerium could already take a guess from what Nickle had told her. She picked up Alexia in her arms, cradling her gently and showed her the counter-top, "I'm busy making dinner, Chizu-chan was helping me, it's almost ready~" Cerium smiled and tickled Alexia a little with her finger, "My name it Cerium, I'm Nickle's cousin. It's nice to meet you~" With that, Cerium promtly lifted Alexia's top and blew on her stomach to tickle her. |

Alexia looked quizzically at Cerium, then spoke while still holding her rabbit on her head and allowing Cerium to put her on the benchtop "Che......rry-umm ....." she paused and then said in an innocent tone "like cherry as in the fruit? so like Cherry-nee-chan is..... like my aunty too?" the child couldn't help but giggle when Cerium tickled her and she squealed with laughter when Cerium blew on her stomach... "hahaha..... have you ever seen a cow fly?" she said after giggling and trying to steady her breathing.... this was totally random, it seemed ALexia also.... picked up Roz's habit of changing to whatever topic suited her best... "I've see a cow fly... " a very evil looking gleam entered her eyes.... "Mama.. threw a cow at a farmer.... his cow.... at him.. it was really funny" the laughter died in her eyes when she remembered why... her Mama got so angry in the first place. |

Chizu twitched and glanced at Nickle as she saw him trying to stifle his laughs, raising an eyebrow. She relaxed slightly as he leaned in and kissed her, letting out a small puff of air as she sighed quickly. "I guess," she said in reply to his "out of the mouth of babes" comment, folding her arms and facing the kitchen. Cerium would probably have an easier time of dealing with Alexia's questions, since she didn't get embarrassed easily. She leaned into Nickle's hold on her, not even noticing that there was a small smile on her face. "She's happier than I thought she would be," said Chizu. "That's good..." From what she knew of Alexia's history, she was half-expecting an emotional train wreck right about now. She knew that she had been that way after her grandmother died and left her alone with her sister. The thing of it all is, that both Celestial and I were just recently a year out of High School and we were contemplating marriage. I still have her engagement ring here..." She blinked at Nickle's words, watching as he walked to the kitchen. Wait, what? It wasn't the fact that he was engaged to Celestial that threw her off. She knew that. It was the way he had brought it up, and how he mentioned being just out of high school. Especially considering what she had just said to Alexia... Her face flooded with color again. |

Cerium giggled as Alexia tried to say her name say her name. She was cute. "You know what little one, for you, I'll be Cherry-nee. I'm not technically your aunty, because I'm Nickle's cousin. So I'll be like a big cousin to you, mkay?" Cherry-nee, that was a first. When Alexia spoke of flying cows, explaining how her mother threw the cow at the farmer. Cerium saw her eyes shift, becoming...darker... She said nothing, but hugged her closer. This little one, had seen some dark days. Cerium just hoped that it wasn't going to affect her when she became older. Nickle had spoken about Kinclex, how this was his daughter and of his darkness. Hopefully she didn't take after either of her parents dark tendencies. Cerium moved away from the counter, picking Alexia up as she did so. The so normally carefree Cerium then spoke in a very solemn voice, "Alexia, something like that isn't funny. Throwing things isn't nice. You just remember that little one." She placed Alexia on a chair, pushing her in and putting her bunny on the table. She then smiled, "Supper will be ready in a bit, I'll dish it up in a second, mkay?" --------------------------------------------------------------- Nickle looked over his shoulder, seeing Chizu blush, but responded to her comment about Alexia being happy, "She is happy, happier than expected. We just need to watch her. She isn't entirely innocent. And lack of innocence in a child leaves room for...darker feelings." Nickle then smiled, "Even if Hiro is a pervert, he knows better than anyone how to keep evil away and we'll be there to help." Nickle moved towards the kitchen, motioning for Chizu to follow, "Yo Ceri-chan, how's everything in here? You need any help?" Cerium had just taken the the pot of rice off the boil and had put a pan with the vegetables and meat simmering in the center of the table, "I'm almost done. You can put some orange juice out. Tell Chizu not to spill it this time~" Edited by Nickle, Jan 19 2011, 02:51 PM.

Oh how Alexia's mood darkened... when Ceri said that it wasn't nice to throw things the child wanted to retort. stupid. how about all those times we were thrown out of the mall because Mama looked different? how many glares can one person receive during their life? and Mama suffered it all... suffered it for her.. suffered it for herself.. and still people threw things at her. When Nickle entered the kitchen he'd notice Alexia's head was down her hands clenching at the bunny tightly and small sparks of black lightning sparking around her.. "its not fair" Alexia mumbled... softly "its not fair.. how she was treated... its just.. not fair" Her hands tightened on the rabbit a more.. if anyone other than Nickle touched her right now they'd get fried.. |

"That's true," said Chizu, nodding at Nickle's words. More and more, she found herself thinking back to her own experiences, which wasn't exactly odd. She knew exactly what it felt like to lose, and she had experienced firsthand what it could do to a person and had seen, thanks to Kaito, what it could result in if it was allowed to run unchecked. She knew what it was like to love somebody the world hated, even though they did things that you couldn't agree with. She had wrestled with that for a while when she first found out about all the things her sister had done. She hesitated in the doorway to the kitchen, staying slightly behind Nickle when she noticed the electricity in the air. Since she wasn't an electromancer, her senses were usually limited to where it was coming from and not who it was coming from, but from direction alone, she knew that it wasn't Nickle. There was only one other electromancer in the room. She looked up, seeing sparks of black lightning surrounding Alexia. What had happened to the happy little kid Chizu had seen earlier? "Alexia-chan..." she began, then hesitated, not sure how to go about talking to a five-year-old. "...What's wrong?" |

Nickle had just taken out the juice and put it on the table when he sensed it. He looked at Cerium he was staying focussed on finishing preparing the food, but she glanced once over her shoulder at Alexia, before remaining silent and returning to the food. Nickle stood watching the little girl, feeling out her powers with his electron feel and slowly massaging the sparks back into her body. They were still obviously sparking around her, but at least now they were less dangerous thanks to Nickle's invisible electron field. Nickle heard Chizu speak to her and slowly moved around to the little girl, placing a hand on her shoulder. Even if she attemted to shock him, even on reflex, Nickle wouldn't feel it. Slowly he rubbed her shoulder, feeling the tension in it and how the power was escaping from the little girl's body. Nickle slowly began to sap her power, subtly so she wouldn't notice. All it would really feel like to Alexia was that she was getting a rumbly tummy. "I know Alexia. Life isn't fair. Life deals certain people a really rough hand some time. You have no idea how much I wish things didn't happen. Like they had." Nickle knelt down next to her as Cerum brought the food to the table and the plates. "But we can't let those things control us. Your mama and your papa wouldn't want that. Your mama would want you to be a good girl, right?" Nickle looked at the child, stroking her cheek before leaning forward and kissing her gently on the forehead. "Now come on, Ceri-nee and Chizu-nee have made us a wonderful dinner. Let's enjoy it and afterwards I'll get some ice-cream for us out of the freezer." |

As if a large warm blanket had been placed over her Alexia relaxed slowly, Nickle's fatherly type kiss had blinking and staring at her rabbit toy "Mama, was untreated fairly in most cases, I've seen how the city has looked at her... I've seen it and Mama endured.." her voice drifted off and her shoulders started shake a little. The child broke down in tears holding her rabbit toy close and burying her face in it. She had to strong, but even when she tried it was just so tiring to be angry at something that didn't concern her. "I want my Mama..." her lower lip trembled "I want her to tell me its alright.. that I'm a good girl ... th-a...t...." the little girl's voice broke... and tears flowed freely the first time in since her mother's death, she had finally cried |

Chizu lowered her eyes when Alexia started crying, the little girl's voice breaking when she talked about her mother. Roz. If she closed her eyes, she could still see it from where she hovered in the air. She could still see Nickle flying down towards her, could see the exact moment when it ended. Even as an observer, she knew she wouldn't be able to forget it. She could only imagine what Nickle was feeling right now. But what Alexia was feeling? She knew. And it hurt, because the note of grief and longing in the young girl's voice was achingly familiar... "What was Mama like...?" A hand, patting her on the head... "Well...let's see...Chizu-chan...she was a lot like you. My little Chiyuri..." Her hands shook as she held onto the railing of the stairs. She knew she shouldn't be listening in on this, but... "That man is dead. Yamamura Itsuki." "And what will you do, Kaida-san?" "What do you think? Avenge him, of course." ...A bedroom, the curtains pulled against the windows with sunlight streaming in... "Obaa-chan! Wake up! Wake up! You have to get up! Please..." "...Please..." Rain. Really...all she remembered was the rain...and the way the grave felt cold against her fingertips. "...Onee-san. I'll avenge you. I promise..." Blood...at the top of the shrine steps. The sun burning overhead like it was high noon... "...No...no...please. Not again. Not again..." Don't leave me alone again... Her hands shook at her sides. She didn't even realize she had clenched them into fists. She took a quick breath and unclenched her fists, taking a few steps towards Alexia. Chizu bent slightly so that she was at eye level with the girl. It was easier now than it had been earlier, but she was still a little taller. Her hand hovered in the air for a moment, making sure that Nickle really had taken care of the electricity, before she gently placed her hand on Alexia's arm. "...Ne...Alexia-chan...I want to show you something," she said. She reached into her pocket, pulling out her wallet and opening it to show Alexia. From inside, she pulled out a picture. It was an old wallet-sized picture, creased and slightly faded. She held it out to the girl. "Be careful with it. It's precious to me," she said, smiling slightly. If Alexia looked at the picture, she would see a twelve-year-old Chizu, shorter and with longer hair but still recognizable for having the same hair and eyes. She was smiling. An older woman, about twenty-three, was smiling up at the camera, one arm around Chizu's shoulders. The woman had the same white hair as Chizu, but her eyes were brown. "That's my sister, Kaida-neesan. When my grandmother died, she took me in. I was eight years old then. She practically raised me, growing up. When I was fifteen, she died. That was three years ago." Chizu waited for a moment, letting that sink in. "...Onee-san...was somebody that did a lot of wrong things. And...because of that, she made a lot of enemies. But...to me...she was..." Unreachable. For a long time, Chizu had wanted nothing more than to be her. She had never admired someone so much. Maybe she never would again. Probably for the best, considering where that had taken her. "...I still miss her. A part of it never goes away. Because...when you love someone...it stays with you, even after they're gone. But...you know what? I'm okay. Because I have people like my friends and your uncle that are always with me, so I never have to be alone." Chizu moved her hand to the girl's shoulder, nudging her slightly so that Alexia was looking up at her. "...And you know what? You're going to be okay. Because we won't let you be alone either." She smiled. |

Nickle felt his throat choke up a bit as he heard the little girl's voice start to break with sadness. He knew the heartbreak of losing a parent, how his father had died. Granted, he was much older than Alexia when it had happened and the circumstances were different, but he knew the hurt. He knew even more, that no child should have to go through what she had. He looked at his own hand, that hand had taken her mother from her. He was the one responsible, no matter how many times he was told to forget it or how many times he tried to convince himself that Rozanny had wanted it. He hated himself, for having done it. Even if Hiro was legally adopting Alexia, it was his responsibility as well, to make sure she was brought up right. He then noticed Chizu, looking at how her hands shook. She knew better than anyone in this room the type of heartbreak that Alexia was going through. Nickle removed his hand from Alexia, watching as Chizu showed her the photo of her family. He had never seen Chizu act this way before, purely because he had never seen Chizu around a child. But what she said, was right. They were going to be fine. Aleixa was going to be fine. They were all going to make sure of it. Nickle hadn't realized, it but during their moment with Alexia, Cerium had already prepared everything on the table. He only was brought back to the reality of dinner by her arms moving around his shoulders and pulling him down towards Chizu and Alexia. Her other arm moved around Chizu's shoulders to draw her closer to the embrace she was creating. Finally, she bent her neck and kissed Aleixa on the crown of her head, nuzzling her head gently with her nose a bit as she did so. "Alexia, we can be your family. We will always be there for you no matter what. And, there is always a place for you here, right?" She looked at Nickle, her eyes holding a sincerity and gentleness that Nickle had never seen before. But Nickle could only agree, because he shared the same sentiment, "That's right. Alexia, my door is open to you always." With that, he kissed her gently on the cheek. "Come on, let's have some dinner. You must be hungry after walking all night, right?" |

Alexia sniffled "Chizu-nee?" she wiped her wet hands on her rabbit and dried her face on her dry part of her rabbit, before gently cradling a picture of a young woman with a young Chizu in it, Alexia could feel the sadness radiating off Chizu "Kaida-nee-san was a beautiful person, I'm sorry she died.." When she was nudged Alexia lifted her hands and hugged Chizu wrapping her arms around her neck and then realised she was engulfed in a larger hug of Cherry-nee, Nickle and Chizu.. she didn't feel as sad.. but still sad. "Mama wouldn't want me to grieve too long, I'll be okay tomorrow.. " she managed a watery smile "Mama.. also said Uncle Nickle is not to resent whatever he is currently upset about because she said I could beat some sense into him later, when I am stronger" then she suddenly was distracted by the smell of delicious foods "Cherry-nee made this? is Cherry-nee a cook? like Uncle Kuro? Uncle Kuro makes delicious foods.. too!" |
