Rikki gazed blankly out into the forest as Brotinn stood behind her protectively. She absent mindedly played with her stuffed rabbit in the middle of the forest clearing while a light mist surrounded her. Brotinn smiled gently down at her while she silently pantomimed a tea party with her bunny. He looked at his watch as he waited for a guest a strange young man had procured for him and Rikki. He wonder what the guest would be like and if maybe he could help him find more fragments. He had heard rumors of strange things happening here and maybe heart fragments were the cause.
(Edit: Forgot Brotinn's image. Sorry.)

Neku walked through the forest, minding his own business. He had his hands in his outrageous pockets and his music blaring in his ears. He wasn't particularly keen of meeting new people, though it seemed to happen to him way to much lately. He walked around, and finally found a nice spot of tree's in a circle with a small clearing in the middle. He sat down and laid back, making some slight rustling and cracks of branches. He closed his eyes, escaping from the world that enjoyed messing with him oh so much. He slicked back his orange hair and then crossed his legs, getting comfortable, or as much as he could in the clearing.

[Kylo]

Brotinn heared feint music and wandered over towards it seeing a young man he smiled and went back to get Rikki. "Come on Rikki I found our guest. We can ahve a tea party with him even if you want!" She looked up at him blankly and got her stuffed rabbit before following him over to Neku. "Hello sir. Are you our guest?" Brotinn asked politely. Rikki stood silent be his side cluthing her rabbit. "Yes are you?" she asked softly.

[auntslappy282]

Neku jumped when he felt the presence of more people. He turned down his music a few notches and jumped to his feet and turned to the two new people who approached. "May I ask what you want and what this party is? I don't think I'm part of it," He said with a frown. He threw his hand into his pocket and played with the pins that inhabited it. He was ready to use them if he had to, and he wasn't afraid of a couple of children. He looked around and then smiled slightly. This might be fun actually.

[Kylo]

Rikki watched him blank before going over and shoving her rabbit towards him. "A strange man said he'd arrange for someone to play with us." She pushed the rabbit at him more. "Roger says you'll play a game." He cold blank stare bored into Neku harshly almost as if she was looking through him instead of at him. "What she means is we were told that a play date was set up for us with you. Sorry for Rikki's behavior she's not very social." He laughed nervously and went over to him. "We don't get out much and would love to play any kind of a game, as long as it's safe for Rikki. I don't want her to be in danger." Rikki looked up at Brotinn and glared as if she resented that he thought she needed protection but then went back to staring at Neku. Brotinn's shoulders sank and he frown slightly at Rikki's glare but stuck beside her regardless. "She loves tea parties or anything that invovles her rabbit, Roger," he suggested hopefully.

[auntslappy282]

Neku sighed. These kids wouldn't give up would they? He wanted to be alone, and he never heard of a tea party or an invite to some party or what not. He sighed and then looked around, playing with his overly spiky hair. "Look, I think you guys have me mistaken for someone else. I'm not gonna stick around and play a stupid childish game with you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to do then play with children," He said with a huff.

He turned around and then began heading out of the small clearing. He wasn't sure in the slightest why these kids wanted to play with him. He found it excruciatingly annoying. He came to the forest to be alone, and not to be disturbed by other people. He was far to antisocial to spend time with a few kids. Not like they could do anything to him to begin with.

[Kylo]

Brotinn growled and threw a rock at an amazing speed at him. "Never treat us like we're just kids! We've lived alone all our lives and we're quite capable of socializing with adults, though you yourself hardly act like one!" Rikki narrowed her eyes threw her rabbit on the ground. Brotinn looked over at her in shock. She rarily showed any emotion, and anger was the rarest. The last time she got angry terrible things happened. "Are we not good enough? Is that it mister, or are you just too weak and pathetic to play a simple game?" she asked softly, but her tone was dark and threatening.

She looked up at Neku with a strange sinister smile on her face. Brotinn shivered involuntarily and backed away from her. "You really did it stranger. You better watch out." Rikki giggled and went over to Neku. "Are you afraid of us? Is that why you're running away? Or are you afriad of everyone?"

[auntslappy282]

Neku, with rather scary speed, dodged the rock. Neku smiled rather evilly as he turned on his heels. He grabbed a fire pin and caused a fire to start just in front of him. He wasn't scared of the children who stood before him. He mixed the pins around in his pocket. He wasn't scared of these little kids. She may be trying to be scary, but nothing scared Neku anymore. He had way to much of that kind of stuff go down. His smile turned into an evil smirk. "Man, you guys really are amusing. I'm not running, nor am I scared. You kids just aren't worth my time! Look around you! Your just fickle beings in the large space!"

Neku's confidence was growing, something that didn't tend to happen very much. Fear was something that didn't cross his mind much anymore. The fire died, and he walked closer to the kids. "I don't have time for you. I have places to be," He said, his smirk fading. He waited to see what the kids were gonna do, if they even were a threat at all.

[Kylo]

"Really? If you have so many places to go to then why were you just laying here earlier?" Rikki continued to smile as a heavy fog began to fill the area trapping everyone inside its thick dampness. "I was promised that someone would play with me, and I very much dislike it when promises are broken."

"Rikki? You should stop, really! This guy is dangerous, even for us!" Brotinn's voice was full of agitation, as he could not fight in this mist. He couldn't see anything at all and Rikki was suddenly being very silent. He shivered as it grew cold and even more damp. "You'll have trouble using fire when it's so damp and cold," Rikki's voice floated gently through the fog.

[auntslappy282]

Neku smirked as the fog began to form around them. This silly child expected him to be able to loose? He smiled, pulling his lightning pin out of his pocket. He felt the familiar  burning on his palm from where the time so often was burned into his flesh.  He smirked and lightning struck in the middle of the place, right between the kids and himself. He was rather proud to admit to himself that he could, indeed, kill these kids if he really wanted to. He held the pin, and then grabbed a few more out of his pocket, his slash, his fire, and his energy shot.

"See? I've got some things up my sleeve!" His smirked faltered and then fell from his face. He really didn't have the energy to fight at the moment. He really just wanted to be alone, and these kids weren't gonna allow that were they? He sighed, and plopped the pens back into his pockets and then scratched the back of his head with a sigh.

[Kylo]

Rikki tilted her head in confusion and cleared the mist. "Why do you want to be alone so bad? Doesn't it hurt to be alone?" Brotinn sighed in relief that the fight was avoided and looked over at Neku with something akin to pity in his eyes. Neku reminded him a lot of Futsch. That man always wanted to be alone for some reason or another. He suddenly froze as he felt something tug at his heart. There was only one thing that did that to him. Shards, and from the feel of it there were quite a few of them. "Rikki do you feel that?" She looked up at Brotinn and nodded. Maybe this man would help them find the shards.

[auntslappy282]

Neku looked at the child, a look of curiosity on his face. "No, it doesn't hurt to be alone. Why would you think so? It is comforting in it's own way I guess you could say," He said. He listened to the two speak, the look of curiosity only growing stronger. What were theses guys even talking about? Shards? Hearts? He really was rather confused at this point.

"Okay stop. I don't think you guys are on the right track here. I'm just some dude you found in the forest and now you want him to help you find something or like play with you? I'm sorry but I barely know you. How can I even help you?" Neku said, he was rather confused and really didn't want to be around these kids anymore. He took a few steps away from the kids.

[Kylo]

Brotinn snickered at Neku's confusion a bit meanly. This guy was certainly odd and from the sound of it not sent here by the straneg man from before. "I guess you really weren't sent here by the guy who promised us a playmate. Anyway, we're missing parts of our soul though we call it 'heart'. Fragments of our hearts are scattered all over the place and unless we find them all we'll always feel empty inside." Brotinn tried to explain what was going on, but doubted that Neku would understand. "Come on Rikki let's go and gather the fragments before we lose track of them." Rikki pouted at first but quickly relented and started to go off with him. She looked at Neku one last time and whispered, "Good bye. I'm sad that you don't to help us, but I guess we're not worth it." She than turned back around and went off with Brotinn to search for their heart fragments.

[auntslappy282]

((Pssh like Neku will take that. ;3))

Neku took a few steps forward towards the kids. He sighed, knowing exactly what they were doing. He hated feeling guilty over anything, he really did. "Ugh. Fine, I'll help you or play your game or whatever. I've already seen some pretty crazy crap in my life as it is, so I'll help you get your souls back or whatever. Just don't play anymore guilt trips on me okay?" Neku said, a look of annoyance on his face. He looked around the clearing, surprised at the small amount of Shinigami. There actually were none.

Neku walked over to the kids so he was only about an arms length away from them. He really didn't come out here to help someone, but something about letting them go off on there own didn't seem right, especially when he could help these kids get there hearts back. "We never did a proper introduction. I'm Neku, and you guys are?" He asked, his hands lazily in his pockets.

[Kylo]

((Leave it to Rikki to use guilt trips. She's an evil little girl. She's actually loosely based off of my second cousin who uses guilt trips on me all the time. She's pure evil like that.))
"I'm Brotinn my name, like Rikki's, means Broken. It's a pleasure to meet you Neku." He bowed slightly and nudged Rikki. "I'm Rikki and I'm glad you've decided to help us. I won't use any more guilt trips....I promise." She curtsied and nudged Brotinn back. "Uh anyway we need to get going and look for the fragments as they tend to move around a lot. They're kind of a pain like that." He laughed nervously and began to walk off motioning for Neku to follow.


After what seemed like forever Brotinn suddenly stopped and Rikki stopped with him. They had come to another clearing and inside it a creature lurked. It looked over at the group and rawred mightily before lurching towards them.
"Oh and I forgot to mention that the fragments like to stay inside monsters. Heh heh heh....." Brotinn said with a nervous laugh a Rikki began to have the fog form around the beast confusing it. The creature screeched and thrashed about in the fog until it finally broke free and raced towards the group.
