Safe and Sound

[Reno]

Elly sighed twisting once more and...

"AHHHH!" She fell down on her ass as a snowball hit her and glared. "Kiros!"

Her cousin laughed flying down and waved. "hi."

"Yes when Elly was three." Rina said as proud smirk on her face.

[Rikugurl]

Aya sighed but grabbed hsi coat and ran down the stairs. he opened the door and started to walk towards the two kids.

Vincent smiled. "that's good to hear..." he looked at Reno and smiled.

[Reno]

"jerk what'd you do that for?!" Elly yelled, both not noticing the newcomer.

"heh for fun!"

"i'll show you fun..." Elly hissed grabbing a clump of snow then hurriedly ran behind Kiros and shoved it down his shirt.

"GAH! COLD!" Kiros yelped scratching backwards. Elly laughed and tripped him.

Reno nodded. "yeah you're taking good care of her right?"

"yes."

[Rikugurl]

Aya frowned as he watched them play. He sighed as he walked to the prch and sat down. How could they not notice him? he was wearing all black in a snwy winter land. he sighed and flipped through his notebook.

Vincent sighed. "So...why is your brother here?"

[Reno]

Kiros' eyes shifted and then he stood lokking at Elly. "Hey whos he?" he whispered.

Elly looked over and glared. "a bastard..."

"he doesn;t look that bad."

Elly just glared. Kiros rolled his eyes treking over.

"hey?"

"well Sephiros... he had no where else to go. we honestly couldn;t say no and the extra help never hurt."

[Rikugurl]

Aya looked up and smiled slightly. "hey..." he wasn't sure what to say...he really wanted to just talk to Elly.

"Yea...sometimes we need held...and we only have one kid." Vincent joked.

[Reno]

"What are you doing?" Kiros asked curiously his wings folded behind him.

Elly just rolled her eyes looking away. stupid men... she was still so pissed. she wasn;t a freak damnit!

Rina smiled.

[Rikugurl]

"Oh...I'm writing...a song that i've been working on. I'm a singer...and I play guitar." he nodded and smiled.

Vincent looked out the window and frowned. "Reno talked to Aya yesterday...did you happen to talk to Elly?"

[Reno]

"Really?" Kiros eyes were wide. "Thats awesome!"

"yeah. she doesn;t remeber mind you but, she;s really pissed off at him. You remeber when Aya called her a freak? she kinda... heard that." Rina said wincing.

[Rikugurl]

Aya smiled. "thanks..." he looked passed elly and sighed. He stood and walked passed Kiros and towards Elly. "Hey...do you think i could talk to you....in private?"

Vincent sighed. "I'm sure he didn't mean it...."

[Reno]

Elly growled aqt him. "so you can what? call me a freak personally? i don;t think so."

Kiros winced. so thats what he did? geez no wonder Elly was so pissed.

"but Elly... she;s not only a women she;s her personal and concerned over how she looked. very self concious. and i can;t blame her. after all Vin, she was born with those appendenges. i can do nothing about the torture and taunts other children will inflict on her by her looks."

[Rikugurl]

He sighed as he grabbed her shoulders. "That's what I wanted to talk about. I'm sorry...ok? I was just angry...not at you." he laughed slightly...not knowing what to say. "Can we please talk...in private?"

Vincent sighed. He watched them and smiled. "I can tell things will get better."

[Reno]

she sneered at him. "fine. but one mean word outta that mouth and you'll regret it."

"i hope so. Elly can be... difficult."

[Rikugurl]

He nodded and waved back at kiros. "do you have a place we could go?"

"Yea...so is Aya...what a great couple." Vincent joked.

[Reno]

Kiros waved back.

"Not particulary. people don;t normal wish to speak with me. "Elly turned. "just follow me. i know places where no one goes." she started walking.

Rina and Reno sweatdropped. "Heh..."
