Where We Met (Kiki)

[Kirameki]

Kira sighed, settling against the tree she chose. She wanted to see Kiki, her mistress, the one who she (unintentionally) bonded to. Bonded as in Master-Servant. She brushed her blond-ish hair from her eyes, wondering if Kiki would come back, to the place where they first met. It was always good for the bond if the pair met at the place they were first entered in the Master-Slave servitude contract. It strengthened it a lot and kept it steady for a good two centuries. And since Kirameki was a Homunculus, it would make her life easier. Now all that was left was to wait for her Mistress to arrive.

[Kiki]

A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walked along, a backpack slung over her shoulder. She looked sixteen and would forever. "Jo, this place looks really interesting. And feel that magic!" the girl said.
The Umbreon next to her nodded. "It's amazing, Arina. I've never felt anything like it."
Arina picked Jocasta, the Umbreon, up and spun around in a happy circle with her. "Maybe we've found a place we can finally be accepted."

[Yeah, I killed Kiki yesterday. But this is her semi-reincarnated person. She has a part of Kiki's soul, but won't remember anything. Will Kira be able to feel the bond because Arina has a part of Kiki's soul?]

[Kirameki]

Kira stood. She felt... Well, she somewhat felt Kiki. It was only part of her magical aura. But it was Kiki nonetheless. Kira sighed, pressing her hand to her heart, moving forward. She peeked through some bushes, her happy grin marring into a frown. Who was the blond girl? She pursed her lips, stepping forward.

"Uh, excuse me?" Kirameki said loudly. "Who the hell are you? And why do you feel like my Mistress?"

[YEAH. Kira can feel Kiki. It's the whole thing with Dante that she can feel her Mistress/Master no matter what. Although she'll be a bit iffy toward Arina]

[Kiki]

Arina blinked. "My name's Arina Cooper."

[Kirameki]

Biting her lip, Kira stared at... Arina Cooper. She sighed and gave a weak chuckle. "That didn't answer my other question. Why do you feel like my Mistress?"

[Kiki]

"Dunno what you're talking about." She twirled her finger in her hair.

[Kirameki]

Kira's jaw dropped and she fell to her knees, lowering her head. It wasn't possible. This girl, Arina, had the same aura as her mistress albeit wasn't completely Kiki. "You're joking, right?" Kira whispered from the ground, brushing her blond hair from her eyes.

[Kiki]

She shook her head. "No, I'm not. I just arrived in this city a few days ago."

[Kirameki]

That didn't satisfy Kira but she sighed, realizing that for now, that would have to do. She was still bound to her Mistress and thus this girl. Now she just needed to play her cards right. "Well, Miss Arina," better start getting readjusted to those terms, "may I... Well... Ah." She had no idea how to phrase what she wanted to say.

[Kiki]

Arina just blinked.

[Kirameki]

Kira cleared her throat. "Yeah, can I, uh, travel with you?" she whispered. "I lo... Lost my mistress and you feel so much like her! Please?" The blond looked up, begging with her dark blue eyes.

[Kiki]

"Sorry. I only travel with Jo." She patted her Umbreon on her head. "And my other companions."

[Kirameki]

Kira covered her face. "Please? If you only want Pokemon, I can do that too!" As if to emphasize her point, Kira shifted her body into a Mightyena.

[Kiki]

"Sorry." Arina shrugged. Though she had a part of Kiki's soul unknowingly and heavily influenced by it, she was still her own person.

[Kirameki]

Kira, after shifting back, settled against a tree, covering her face. It was rare that she was rejected by her Mistress or part of her Mistress. That only happened when a bond formed with another Homunculus. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. She sighed slowly and unsteadily, keeping her face covered.

[Kiki]

Ombreon walked along, and looked up, blinking. She wiped away tears when she saw Arina, sensing Kiki's spirit. She also sensed Kira and walked up. "What's wrong?" Ombreon asked quietly. Arina adjusted her baseball cap and started walking away.

[Kirameki]

Almost unconsciously, Kira reached out for Ombreon, keeping her face covered with her other hand. "I want my Mistress Kiki," she whispered, "but Miss Arina won't take me back... I don't know what to do!"

[Kiki]

"I'm sorry... Arina isn't fully Kiki..." Her eyes glazed over. "At least... At least you weren't the one that had to do it..."

[Kirameki]

Kira looked at Ombreon curiously. "What... What do you mean?"

[Kiki]

"She asked me kill her... Don't hate me, Kira... It hurt her too much to even breathe..." Ombreon wiped away tears. She clearly had been crying nonstop for days.

[Kirameki]

Kira retracted her hand from Ombreon, opting for covering her face to cry. Kira never cried, Jel could attest to that. But Kira sobbed. "Then wh-why doesn't she know?!" she screamed. "Why doesn't Arina know anything?!" She looked over toward Arina. "Stop walking away!" she hissed before looking back at Ombreon for answers.

[Kiki]

Arina just tugged her hat and kept walking. "It was what Kiki wanted," Ombreon said, closing her eyes. "Things will be familiar to her, but she won't remember. She wanted Arina to have a normal life."

[Kirameki]

"So that's it then?" Kirameki asked. "I'm not supposed to know Arina? I'm not supposed to... Supposed to renew the bond?" She shook her head, not caring that her hair was turning red due to her anger.

[Kiki]

"It must not be Mother's will," Ombreon said. "I'm sorry..."

[Kirameki]

"That's insane!" Kira cried out, shaking her head. "It's like written in stone that each Homunculus shall be bonded! What am I supposed to do? Ombreon, don't do this to me!"

[Kiki]

"I'm sorry..." She continued to cry.

[Kirameki]

Kira covered her face, letting herself go and she cried. After a while, she pulled herself together and stood. "Well Ombreon, will you travel with me? I need to find a new Mistress or Master soon before I start to deteriorate. I don't want to unless it's her," Kira jerked her thumb in the direction of Arina, "but she's being stubborn." She smiled apologetically at Ombreon. She really didn't want to have to find a new master or mistress. It killed her to do so. But at the same time.... Kira pressed her hand to the Oroborus on her abdomen. It was Dante's spell.

[Kiki]

"I can't travel. Daisy's pregnant and I have to look over the ranch. I'm sorry, Kira... You have no idea how much this is killing me either..."

[Kirameki]

Kira squeaked, running a hand through her now bright red hair as she thought. "Do... Do you know anyone that could travel with me? Anyone? I mean, I have my Pokemon but..." She trailed off, looking to the sky desperately, praying to someone that some stroke of good luck would come to her.

[Kiki]

A red-head walked past and Ombreon blinked. "Frankie! Can you travel?"
Frankie turned around and blinked. "Um, yeah. I have had summer fever something awful."
