The World of Shoria [1x1 with yankees324]

[Mayiamaru]

Sasaki took a few deep breaths and wiped her eyes to keep herself from crying. She didn't like to cry in front of people. "I-I'll be just fine..." She said, more for herself than she did for Ikari. She was rendered immobile. "Ikari... I-Is there a blanket nearby?..." She asked timidly, her voice now small. That was her regular voice, but she forced her voice to sound strong everywhere else.

[yankees324]

Ikari nodded and slowly got up. "I'll be right down." He ran upstairs and got the one off his bed, dragging it off the mattress. He brought it back downstairs and sat next to Sasaki, covering them both with the blanket. "Sorry I couldn't get a fresh one," he said sheepishly. "They're all in my parent's room, and they're still sleeping. So we're using mine." He wrapped his arm around Sasaki and brought her closer, showing he was there for her.

Sasaki looked up at him and blushed a little while holding the blanket over her shoulders and over her ears. "It's alright." She said with a small smile while she inhaled the scent and cuddled up against Ikari. The thunder struck again and she flinched, but not as much as she did last time. She was enjoying the warmth and the conforting smell in the air while she laid agaist Ikari, her tail flicking lightly and brushing against Ikari. "You're very sweet for helping me like this..." She said quietly, beginning to doze off.

Ikari just nodded as his eyes also closed. "Mhm," he murmured softly as he smuggled under his blanket also. His breathing slowed as he fell asleep again, cuddled against Sasaki's body. Gentle snores escaped his mouth, showing he was sleeping already. He was always one to fall asleep fast when he was relaxed and tired. He stirred a little as another flash of lightning lit the room, but did nothing after.

[Mayiamaru]

Sasaki didn't fall asleep. The lightening startled her to be wide awake and just laid against Ikari, hugging her tail while she hid under the blanket. She had her eyes shut and her face buried in Ikari's chest while she waited out the thunder. She didn't even notice that Ikari was asleep until she peeked up from under the blanket. At this point, it looked more like it was just Ikari sleeping on the couch. Sasaki was pretty small, except for her tail, and she was curled against Ikari, making her look even smaller.

(( Youcan time-skip if you'd like so Ikari can wake up... It may take me a while to respond because I'm working on a story right now.... This RP plus others gave me the idea for it.... ))

[Mayiamaru]

(Sure XD I hope you ouldn't mind lettimg me read it once you finish it )

Only about two hours passed before the storm calmed into just a soothing rain. Sasaki finally calmed down and sat up, taking the blanket from around her shoulders and putting it over Ikari. She couldn't help but smile at his adorable sleeping face. He was like an angel. She clumsily got up to her feet and stumbled towards the kitchen, her head wound hurting just a bit.

(( I can give you the first chapter if you'd like. I'm working on the second one right now. Chapter one's on my dA with the same user name as here. Here's the story: Anthromorphic ))

Ikari woke a short while later with the blanket covering him. Reluctantly, he swung his feet around the side of the couch, and his the floor. He folded the blanket messily and walked to the kitchen to find Sasaki there. "Rise and shine," he mumbled, rubbing out his eyes. He was never a morning person. On the contrary, he rather loved the night.

[Mayiamaru]

Sasaki smiled at Ikari while she was making some back from the meat Lora had stored away. "Morning." She sid, smling just a bit, her eyes a little drowzy because of her head. Lora was trotting down the stairs with Ryzo in her arms. When she spotted Ikari in the doorway, she smiled, but when she spotted Sasaki, she gasped and put Ryzo down. "Sasaki, sweetie, you really shouldn't be straining yourself like this. You need to rest." She said with a worrisome frown.

[yankees324]

Ikari picked up Ryzo and held him. "Hey lil' guy," he said quietly. "How was your sleep?" He ruffled Ryzo's golden hair and smiled to his little brother. He walked to his mom and gripped her shoulder. "I think she's doing better mom," he said in a hushed voice. "She seems more active and healthy today. Let's give it a shot."
