"I'm fine, Alec," Elaine said with a smile and a nod. "Well, how about yourself? You seem much happier than the previous times I've been able to actually sit down and talk to you, right? I'm glad things are working out for you."
Mathias 's smirk curled even more and stretched from ear to ear. "This is your precious Hiro-sama, right? The one who kept his past secret from you, and who often forgot about you, like the others, right?" A chuckle rose to his throat. "Even then, you never let your loyalties slide. Though," he paused for a moment, his sky blue eyes that seemed to reflect both a childish innocent and the experience and wisdom of someone much older at the same time, slowly moved from Hiro, then gliding back to Noah again.
"It's nothing you should worry about," Noah muttered quietly, glancing down at the ground.
"Why? Oh, you never did tell him, did you?"
"Tell him what?" Now he looked up at Mathias , and at the right angle, the two did share similar appearances, though still different.
Mathias seemed pleased now that he had Noah's full attention. "What you sometimes thought about, in those rare moments when something wasn't going on and some people weren't bitching, you thought about-"
And then, that was when Noah ripped himself away from Hiro and launched himself at Mathias . He did succeed in pinning the half ghost to the ground, but was countered. Mathias lifted his feet to Noah's chest and pushed up, arching his back up so that Noah flew off and landed on his back.
Despite the anger, it was pretty obvious the two were not trying to cause harm to the other. They were both up on their feet now, wrestling, as in trying to grab and shove at the other. They were both locked together as they struggled.
Now, their hands were interlocked, but both Noah and Mathias were trying to push each other. "Because of you, everyone thought I was crazy! Always! Ever since the orphanage!" Noah yowled. "Who'd want to adopt a kid who was a crazy schizophrenic!"
"But you're not crazy," Mathias said solemnly, though still he was pushing Noah back, the latter doing the same.
"Telling people I could hear voices in my head and see images that never-!"
"Those weren't voices, those were memories. My memories."
Noah's face twisted with surprise, then back to anger, it was apparent now that he was trying to stop the tears that gathered in his eyes from falling. "Then-then after he told me I was nothing, I let myself become nothing because that's all I was worth." Noah threw all of his wait at Mathias now, and the two were back on the ground now with Noah pinning Mathias yet again.
Mathias didn't let this stay for long, and he rolled the two of them over so that he was on top. "Who think that's a worthy life?!" He roared down at Noah. "Living like some doll? Do you like letting other people think and move for you?" Mathias snarled. "Go on, tell them how much you've changed now. Why don't you look Kevin in the eyes now and tell him you remember everything. Go on! Tell him I'm the one who saved you when you fell from that cliff! Tell him I'm the reason why you don't look like an eight year old, like you're supposed to!
Now, the two started screeching and yowling at each other after Mathias 's last words, it was apparent now that as they rolling across the ground, wrestling, that they were really trying to harm each other now as they started to use teeth, fists, knees and anything else to attack one another. Cat fight.

The whole group was watching, well, at least all of Cloudy's characters. Shock was full on their faces, Mathias 's and Noah's words slowly registering in their heads. What? But it was true. It was more often than not that they had forgotten Noah and even often didn't notice his presence. Some felt guilty, others didn't more seeing as they didn't know most of the group anyways.
Who was this kid anyways? The one Noah was fighting with? They looked similar, but both were different. Kevin watched from afar, sure, he wanted to go help him, and he would of too, but Mathias 's words echoed in his head. Mathias saved him. And Noah told me none of it. That he remembers it. Glancing away, Kevin let the hurt filter in and shine in his eyes. Who was him to walk into Noah's life and declare him his own? Noah had been doing fine on his own, and by entering his life Kevin hadn't changed anything.
Noah even kept all of this, from his own father. How was Kevin suppose to feel? At least... I know he's safe, and healthy... Taking a step back and blending back into the crowd. He didn't really want his emotions to be seen by the others, he knew that they wouldn't let the fight get too bad. His foot steps echoed further away as he went to go think.
"Why aren't you doing anything!?" Hiro's screech caught some attention. He as yelling at Corps, the younger in physical age glanced up at Hiro, quirking an eyebrow. "Are you just going to let him do that!?"
"Eh. Sure," Corps watched them with a light smirk. "It's not like it's going to kill him."
"Do you even care about him at all!?" Hiro screeched again at Corps.
A muscle in Corps' jaw jumped, but he smiled. It took a lot to get Corps angry, but he did talk coldly to Hiro. "Me? You can stop them just as easily as I can. And how about you? You are just as able to stop them as I am. You keeping b*tching to be, but about about yourself? Noah's the one who didn't have a single friend! You're the one who kept forgetting him? What is he to you, Hiroshi? Why don't you just command him to stop, seeing as he is your slave! You just used him, no wonder why he felt so alone-"
"Shut up!" Hiro cried tears coming to his eyes.
"Aww, is the little girl going to cry?" Corps pouted. "Poor you-"
An electric shock flew from Corps' fingers, hitting Corps with enough force to knock him back. Winded, Corps stared at the stealing, trying to get over the shock. "Shut up! Shut up! I cared about him! I tried! And for that last time I'm not a girl!"
Crooked laughter sprang from Corps, slowly, he started to stand, his cyan eyes glowing a bit. If he were dead, his white hair would be glowing blue fire. "You did not just shock me..." His lips twitched up to reveal a canine tooth, Hiro hissed in return, lengthening out his fangs. A cyclone of sorts popped in front of Corps, made out of fire and it was shot straight at Hiro.
The half ketsuki flew to the side then leaped forward, lifting a fist to smash it into Corps' face. But the hitman was too fast. Corps' hand grabbed Hiro's hair and yanked it back, "If you don't want to be mistaken for a girl cut your hair!" Corps cried and did a dirty move, he smashed his knee into an area that made Hiro a boy.
A painful cry filled Hiro and in a flash of a movement, Hiro was being held in Kasimir's arm, close to his chest as tears filled his eyes and splashed over in pain. Kasimir held Corps' shirt then lifted him up with a dark face, "Enough. All of you. Stop fighting like children." Kasimir smirked a pit at that and Corps spat. "That was a dirty trick."
"I've been taught to fight dirty, what are you going to do, old man?" Corps snarled. Kasimir whipped out a leg and shoved Corps backwards. Once again, the preteen fell back and smashed into the ground, bit Kasimir grabbed his ankle and pulled him up once more. His breath was hard to catch on, and ever so quickly was Corps' anger vanished.
"Will you stop now?" Kasimir raised an eyebrow, but he was struggling a bit because he had to hold up Hiro because his son was in incredible pain, crying into Kasimir's chest with thick sobs.
Corps glanced around, gasping for breath then glanced back at Kasimir, nodding. Damn. He's too strong. I'd never be able to win him in a fair fight, maybe if I was dead! I hate this body! Slowly, Kasimir set him down then pulled back, lifting Hiro into his arms as he cried much like a child. "Shh...." Kasimir urged and stepped away, his eyes flickering over to those who were still-
No.
They weren't still fighting.
That was in fact, if Damien had been able to separate him, and if the Orochi had, he stood with a fistful of both Mathias 's and Noah's shirt, lifting them a bit into the air so they wouldn't be able to get leverage. "Would you two stop it? For Era's fucking sake you two dipshits! What's tearing each other's hair out going to help anything, you fucktards!? Sure, yeah, we all love hearing more about Noah, about all this fucking shit he kept inside of him." Damien narrowed blood red eyes on Noah. "You could of tried to make friends, you know? I'm sure plenty of times someone has tried to do that. But you made yourself nothing. Fuck it! Listen to me you little shit, if you weren't nothing you wouldn't be here! Hiro cried over your death, you hear me!? And your father! They cared about you! If you were nothing, then no one would care about you, and you!" Damien turned to lash at Mathias , but for some reason when he went to do that, his gaze turned brotherly and recognition flashed through his eyes. He quickly tried to hide it, tried to hide all of it. "Buddy. You stupid retard, can't you be the better one for once? What did provoking Noah accomplish? Or, maybe, not that, but friggen beating him up? You're a stupid retard. Both of you are." He looked away from Mathias , it was too tempting to pull him into a close hug. And Damien had no fucking idea why. That's a lie. He knew why. He just refused to know.

Then, ever so softly, Mathias chuckled, smiling. "Actually, I may be an America- no, you don't know what that is. Well, you see Deedee. There was a reason to provoke Noah. Sure, it probably wasn't the best, but I just wanted you to see that Noah's not a doll." He smiled. "He's not a droid. Trust me though, if he truly felt as forgotten as he thought he did, he would have left some time ago, but he never did that, right?" His smile softened just a bit as his gaze drifted over to Noah who was still trying to hold back his tears, but wasn't doing a very good job. "And what about you, Damien? You remember too, right?" Mathias smirked. "You know who, and probably what I am, don't you?"

Slowly, Damien put then down. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mathias." Shitfuck. Fuckshit. Could I be anymore retarded? I think I just pulled an Elliot there. Is there a nice cliff I can jump off anywhere? Oh yes, because we're on an island in the freaking hair, you stupid retard. Just keep walking with your eyes closed, you'll get there somehow. I'm so stupid! Damn it! Using his real name! Pain flashed in his head and he took back his hands, pressing them to his head. Damn it... the pain again... more memories. His eyes opened and he glanced up at Mathias . "Just don't fight you too." He put his hand on Noah's head and ruffled his hair before stepping back and disappearing into a shadow, allowing the two of them space.

Mathias snorted with quiet irritation, watching Damien walk away. "You have no problem running when it's inconvenient for everyone else, but you always stay when someone doesn't want you to, right Deedee? Just like your past~" Though, it was said in a soft voice, but then Mathias moved towards Noah, who was on his knees, silently sobbing into his hands.
The half ghost crouched down, and whispered soft words to Noah, so quiet that they were for him only. After a moment or two, Noah stopped his crying, and nodded. That was when he made his way over to Hiro and Kasimir, going to make sure Hiro was okay.
"Yep, my work's done here. Dead guy, out," Mathias lazily waved his hand to them before turning and going to head out of the room. "Adios."

Corps followed Mathias , a bit dizzily, but he wiped his defeat away and smiled at him. "You probably shouldn't flaunt that around... and you're not really that dead anymore, seeing as, well... you're stuck as a human." He then poked Mathias 's shoulder, but then sighed, hanging his head. "I wonder if you kill me if I will return to normal... Probably not."
"It's alright, Hiro," Kasimir soothed softly. By now he stopped wailing pitifully and was now just down to tears. When he saw Noah, he smiled weakly at him but the pain was obvious in him. "Seems as if people really like to harm your genitals, right Hiro? Maybe because you look such like a girl they don't believe you have any."
Hiro sobbed quietly, "Shut up..." Then he glanced at Noah, tears for a new reason watering his eyes all over again. "Noah, Noah I'm sorry... I'm sorry I didn't notice. I am sorry I wasn't a better friend to you. Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't know.." His tears ran free. He cried this much before.
When Hanna 'died.'

Again, Mathias gave an irritated snort, going to poke Corps back. "No, trust me. No matter what, even stuck like this, I'm still dead, trust me. I've died too many times to be considered living." He smirked now, glancing over at Corps over his shoulder. "Now, if that was a fact, and killing you would return you to your normal state, and I knew this for sure, I would kill you so you can go have fun again. But, come to think of it, I think the dear lizards would have blocked your powers too."
"Why are you sorry?" Noah croaked, looking up at Hiro with sad eyes. "You shouldn't be sorry. It was... my fault. You all tried so hard to make me open up, but-but I just.. can't see passed what I was forced to see myself as.." He glanced away, tears again welling up in his eyes.

"FFFF--" Corps shot fire balls ahead of him but they quickly disintegrated into the air. "I wish my hair would catch on fire again, y'know? When I'm mad? That was pretty boss. Now I'm just an idiot. With freckles. I hate these freckles. I seriously considered getting girl makeup to cover them up." His eyes flickered over to Mathias . "But that takes too much efforts, clogging pores too. I'd be a zitty freak with freckles. I rather just have freckles. Look at this!" Corps lifted his hand and pointed at the freckles that marked his knuckles. "They could of at least made me look like I was when I was dead! God freaking damn it." He sighed but gave up. "Sorry, I just... I hate being alive. I wonder if the demonic cancer is going to take a hold of me." Though, it was evident Corps was absolutely petrified, even at the very idea.
"It's not your fault either." Hiro reached out to Noah and gave him an awkward hug because he was still in his father's arms and still in immense pain. Scott might have to check him later. "We're both sorry, okay? You're not nothing, Noah. Please? You're not nothing... c-can... can we be friends?" His voice cracked, both with pain and sorrow.

"Sounds like a personal problem," the half ghost muttered, acting completely uncaring as he glanced at the back of his hands like a girl. Then he laughed, and went to pat Corps' shoulder. "Don't complain, or get makeup like a woman, okay? And seriously, if these lizards were to do that to you, then what would be the point of bringing you here if only to just kill you off again?"
Noah gave a slow, and sure nod as he hugged Hiro back, going to hide his crying face from the world. Poor Noah, he didn't feel so lonely anymore with Mathias and Hiro about. Too bad he was about to feel a whole lot worse when he finds out his dad is ditching him.

(LMAAOOO!!!!!!!!!! Poor Noah...)
A sigh left Corps, leaving him look older than fourteen. His eyes flickered up to Mathias , "I don't know. Here I am complaining when you've been through this a thousand times over." Guilt prickled his chest. "Damn I must seem like a d*ck to you, don't I? Happened to me one time, here I am complaining my ass off, and you're the one left, well... just as a human." Glancing down at his own feet, his cyan eyes watched the marble floor as the walked. "Sorry." He mumbled, closing his eyes he sighed once more. "It's just that, for fourteen years I've been told 'Suck it up buttercup!' and finally being able to spill it out feels better. I hated being a cold hearted d*ck, but I thought I was going to be stuck that way, well. Because you weren't there. I was beginning to think that maybe this place was the real place, and the other land was just my mind making myself crazy. The thought scared me." Looking up at Mathias a bit shyly, he gave a small smile. "I'll stop now, 'kay?"
"Come now," Kasimir's voice was at first light, but then he glanced up at the others. "You heard the prince! He sorted us all rooms and had kindly given us a tour. Now go to your rooms, settle, rest, but leave your things packed. I'm not sure how long we're going to be here," His voice dropped a bit grudgingly so only those very close to him could hear him mutter, "And the reason as to why we are here has escaped me..." Continuing, he made his voice louder once more. "Now go, disperse! You're free~ If you and a party are leaving please do tell another so that we don't think you're kidnapped." Winking seductively at all of them, he glanced back at Noah and Hiro, both his face and voice softening. "Well, shall we get Hiro to a room? I don't think Scott will be of any help so I will try and find a palace nurse of some sort." Smiling softly at them he nodded to Noah.
Hiro looked back at his father then looked back at Noah, still holding him close. "Can we get to the room, Noah?" His voice cracked. "Then we can play a game or something-"
"Wait!" Rylan wailed, shoving his way through the crowd. "Wait wait! Wait wait!" He nearly bounced up to Amara, his eyes wide with both excitement and fear. "Amara, I-I mean, Queen Amara, may I use your library now? Find out what I am?" His eyes were flickering back and forth between hers.
Amara's eyebrows raised, "Hmm? Oh, about that. I was thinking tomorrow we should all have a friendly gathering." She smiled softly. "How about we have it in the library tomorrow and read out loud? I'm sure the others might be interested in learning about a new race. But, of course, I have been wrong before."
"That sounded snotty..." Seth murmured. Amara shot him a deadly look, but glanced at Chase for either approval of this idea or disapproval. But by now the excitement and fear were disappearing to show a segregated, lonely Rylan from before.
"Oh yeah. Of course. Sounds awesome." He nodded, then walked past them. His two colored eyes watched the ground, slowly locking away small tidbits of feelings that he let run loose for so long. "But don't keep an insane man waiting too long~" Rylan sang half heartedly. Even if I do find out what I am. What is even the point of it all? What do I do after that?
