[ooc] It's about time I posted in here again. ^_^;;; [/ooc]

Watching Asfahrns arm movements as he danced around continuously was starting to become a teensy bit difficult now. The rod itself was starting to eliminate all focused sight, and the fast movements all around the room added to the illusion that he was in several places at once. Feeling her eyelids becoming heavier, Akiko began to feel more tired with each and every movement the dance gave. She sawblurs of brown in several areas, and could not establish which one could possibly have been the correct rod. Chancing on the blur that was smallest, Akiko lashed her arm out at the right-most blur of brown.
The sound of something thudding suddenly zoomed through the air and into Rawk's ears.

"Get away from me!!!" screamed Chris, as he pushed a derranged little child into a pile of garbage to avoid his ravenous scratching and biting. It had been just like this the entire run to the pole: random people jumping from random places, just to do random attack patterns at random moments, and aimed at random body parts. The adults were very easy to get away from, since they had to practically dive to actually get at him. It's just the children who posed so many problems: since they couldn't really carry weapons, they had more movement. That, coupled with them being shorter, made them much harder to get away from. Luckily for Chris, his aspiration of being a Priro had kept him training even before his father considered letting him train, so he was very strong for his age.

but, upon this last thought, Chris had noticed that he had not only ran past several dormant adults, but that he had just ran into the pole that he was trying to reach. Rubbing his nose, he looked up with watery eyes to see the extra large sparkles in the sky. Wrapping his arms around the pole, he tightened his grip, and began climbing. When he reached the sparkle in the sky, he found it to just be a small pouch; but it was a pretty sparkle, and it still even sparkled in his hands. It was at this point, when he noticed that both of his hands were on the bag, that he was upside-down, and that he was slowly sliding down the pole in an awkward position..

--Meanwhile, back with Akiko--
Akiko was holding her wrist, as her eyes watered. She had hit her mark alright: all 6-inch thick, 200 pounds of it, and with the spot just above her wrist. The only good that came from her hurting herself, was that the dancing stopped, and that Asfahrn was now only one boy again. Smiling an ever triumphant smile at Akiko, Asfahrn waved his hands in circles just to spite her. He hopped forward and back, side to side, and onto his hands; all for the fun of this battle of his. Meanwhile, Akiko was shaking her wrist while hopping out of his way. Noticing that the little boy was literally beginning to dance at this time, Akiko finally gained a new thought.

"It takes two to tango!" said Akiko unexpectedly. Asfahrn, who was just as confused as ever, continued his dance.

"What in the hell are you talking about?" exclaimed Asfahrn.
but there was no answer. Instead, Asfahrn began to gawk at Akiko as she mimicked his every step and movement. Stepping into spins, and turning into handstands did little to affect this: Akiko somehow knew just what he was going to do, and she did it as well. Finally, Asfahrn stopped.
"How dare you spoil my fun!" he screamed, becoming red around the ears.
Akiko only looked on. This, however, angered poor Asfahrn into spin-kicking the wall behind him, which not only broke into many pieces, but also brought the entire roof down upon his side, and all over. In fact, before either of them knew it, the entire house had fallen into pieces, and they both fell into someplace very dark. Summoning her Sweet Tone, Akiko looked around in the darkness to try and find Asfahrn. but there were noises and echoes all about..
"Why are you fighting me?" came one echo. "Do you hate me?" came another. "Must I kill everyone to get the one I love to be accepted among you?" came a stronger echo. While Akiko didn't quite understand the meaning of all of this, she was starting to get a bit of a hunch as to where Asfahrn was. She kneeled down gently, and closed her eyes in mental focus.

"All I wanted was to have fun, and to get my friends accepted among humans."
The echoes were circling in from the right..
"Nobody ever wanted to even get to know them.."
Moving from behind her..
"Just because everyone says they're monsters!"
Suddenly jumping in front of her...
"It's not their fault they're large and have dangerous body parts!"
It moved to her left now, though Akiko suddenly felt a tiny bit disorientated with the last echo..
"I just want to have a place for us, and us alone!"
It was behind her again.
"Which means.."
To her right.
"That if you want to get in our way.."
In front of her.
"I will kill you!"
Behind her! That's where the echoes were coming from! She dimmed her Sweet Tones light just a smidge, before moving. Making the Tone stay where it was, Akiko moved on alone. She decided to go to her right first, then attack from behind: however, the echoes were still going..

"Why is it that only HUMANS aren't considered monsters!? Why should they be the only ones immune to the ridicule, when not even a child can't even escape that!"
Akiko finally came up behind the source of the voice, the small child, Asfahrn. She grabbed him from behind, and held him as tight as possible to herself so that he could not get free, or try to attack her. As Asfahrn struggled to get free, Akiko only tightened her grips.
"What are you getting at? Weren't you the one who just called them 'Monsters'?" inquired Akiko, as Asfahrn pushed his elbows into her sides.
"It's none of your business, you freak!" Screamed Asfahrn. "You're the one who left! You're the one who got away from everything! You don't deserve to know!!"
"What are you talking about?! I didn't do anything of the sort!"
"LIAR!!!" Screamed Asfahrn, as he suddenly burst out of Akiko's grasp with enough force to send her far backward. Suddenly, the Sweet Tone flickered and died out. Akiko's sight was finally out of it again, if not for the complete darkness, then for the fact that she had just lost a bit more blood everywhere.
"You liar... you know what you did. Mother and Father told us.. they told me everything. You ran away.."
More echoes. If Akiko heard more echoing, she was sure she'd lose her temper. However, more than anything, she needed to keep her conciousness. Getting up to her feet again, Akiko looked forward into the darkness, and stared for a while. She waited for the echoes again.
"You ran away. You left us all to DIE!!"
"but I didn't! I swear; I---"
"Liar! <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>Leave us alone</span>!!!"
Light from underneath the house seemed to have burst through the caved-in building. While the pieces of the house were still piled above the cellar, the light seemed to show through anyway. but it was anyones guess above the ground, as to who the light was coming from....

[ooc] Ok.. Meanwhile, Chris has gotten the pouch from the pole, and is probably rushing back to Akiko with it. Oh, and you guys can feel free to try to get to Asfahrn; Just don't kill him. Trust me, you'll find out why later.
..and sorry for being gone for so long. I really am trying my best to fit everything in.[/ooc]
