[ninelivesbaby]

*Having just seen JENOVA, Shiro has run into the forest, and is sitting behind a tree, crying.*

*Sakura peers into the forest, swearing that she had heard crying noises*

Hooeee...? Is someone here?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*Shiro calls out, voice wavery from crying.*

S-Sakura? Is that you?

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*She glances around, hoping to locate the voice. Creeping behind a tree, she spots the chibi!Shiro*

KITTY-CHAN~? What are you doing out here? It's cold outside...and why are you crying? What's wrong...?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He paws at his face, trying to wipe away the tears.*

'm not crying. I...I thought I sawed an angel. So I ran away.

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*She reaches down to hug him*

An angel...? Angels won'--- Maybe you just were mistaken? Don't worry, Shiro-chan, I'll protect you~! Those big, bad angels won't hurt you. <3

*scratches behind his ears*

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*Shiro cuddles into Sakura's arms.*

Th-thank you, nee-chan. ...she was so scary, but...she was pretty as well. All white and glowy.

*He hugs her more.*

I'd want to be her friend if she wasn't a scary angel.

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

She...? It must have been Yunalesca-san! She won't hurt you, and I'm sure she'd love to be your friend~ ^___^

*rubs ears gently* They're so soft! ^3^

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He closes his eyes and smiles, enjoying the attention.*

Nononono, it wasn't Yunalesca-nee. But it looked a bit like her...

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

...someone who looks like Yunalesca-san..?

*She blinks, confused at who it could be*

Is it...JENOVA-san? She's here? KADAJ MUST BE SO HAPPY!!! ^___^

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know JENOVA-san. It might be.

*He clings to her.*

Is JENOVA-san an angel?

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

I don't think she is...but she's really beautiful almost like an angel! ^___^ No wonder Yazoo and Kadaj are so pretty. I wonder if Loz is pretty too... Did she have wings...?

*She glimpses his tail and squees*

YOU'RE SO CUTE ^O^ C-can I touch your tail...? It looks so soft...

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

I don't think she had wings...I didn't stop to look.

*He sighs, feeling foolish, then looks up at Sakura's squeeing.*

Oh? Um, y-yeah, I guess you can. Just don't tug it!

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*She reaches over to rub his tale softly*

...Gaia isn't your home either, isn't it? ^_^;;

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He shakes his head.*

No, I come from Hell. But I don't know how to get back, or how I got here.

*His voice starts trembling, like he's about to cry again.*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

...HELL? O__O Ok, it must be a different hell than I know...

Don't cry, Shiro-chan!

*she rubs circles into his back*

Maybe you world-hopped over here...?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

B-but I don't know how! A-and Mommy will be wondering where I am!

*He buries his face in Sakura's shoulder.*

I wanna go home!

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

I can bring you back, Shiro-chan~! Where do you live?

*secretly sneaks a blue ribbon on his tail*

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

I live in Hell, in Quan Blue, the capital.

*doesn't notice~*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

I'll get you back home, Shiro-chan. <3 Are you sure it's safe for such a little boy to be walking around...hell alone?

*She slowly lets go of Shiro, and reaches for the key upon her neck. Mumbling a few words, she releases her staff*

Tell me when you're ready!

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sakura-nee! I'm ready!

*He watches, enraptured at the sight of the magic taking place.*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

O Create! Be my Strength~
Make a pathway to the land named Quan Blue of the world Hell!

Shiro-chan~? You like magic? ^__^

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah yeah!! Magic is sooo cool!

*He jumps up and down, excited.*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

♥ You don't know how cute you are... ;_____;

*She bends down and squishes Shiro*

Do you think you can handle things by yourself or do you want me to go with you to h..hell.

*points to the portal*

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He looks in, clearly a bit scared.*

C-can you come with me?

*He holds her hand.*

Please, Sakura-nee?

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

O-ok, Shiro-chan ..! ♥ ^__^;;

...will people look at me weird..? I don't want to seem out of place, I might get attacked. @_@

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

I think you will be okay. Just be very quiet.

*He holds a finger up to his lips, and pulls Sakura into the portal*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*Sakura closes her eyes at she crosses into Hell, expecting too see a valley of flames. Surprisingly, she sees that it's not like what she expected.*

...this is hell?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He nods and tugs at her hand, running down streets.*

I know where we are, Sakura-nee! My house is very near here!

*He keeps running, dragging her along, blind to the increasing level of destruction as he goes on.*

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*Sakura follows Shiro, as she observes the destruction surrounding her. Wary of the reason for this destruction, she keeps her staff released*

...Shiro-chan, I hope you don't mind me asking...but what happened to the city..?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He keeps running, concentration etched on his face, not really looking around.*

Oh, it's always been a bit tatty. Nothing, really.

*He suddenly takes a sharp left, and stops, about to proudly announce their arrival. However, there is no building, and no street to really speak of. His house is gone, and looks like it has been for some time. He stares, confused.*

But...but this is my house! I'm sure it should be!

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

Oh..Shiro-chan...

*She stares sadly at the small figure, and places her hand gently on his shoulder. She speaks faintly, not wanting Shiro to hear her.*

...You must have forgotten your memories, since reverting back to a child.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

But it was here, Sakura...it was right here.

*He sits on the ground, and hides his face with his hands.*

I wanted to show you my painting...

[clowsakura.livejournal.com]

*Sakura crouches beside Shiro, wrapping her arms around his smaller form*

S-shiro-chan...I'm so sorry... You don't remember...now that you're small... You don't have to hide your tears...

*She holds him against her chest, trying to not to cry herself*

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

*He cries into her shoulder.*

W-what don't I remember, Sakura-nee? Did I...did I forget where my house is?
