Parks are obviously Safe places

Leaning against a tree, thinking she ran far enough to have lost them, she sank to the ground again, and rested against the base. "I'm sorry Vayne, but I don't want to go back to that darkness."

*A familiar figure walks up to Shizuku* "Long time no see...remember me? Me and Gino looked after you for a while..."

"That girl knows more then she is letting on we just made her nervous. That strange outburst was a good indicator of what she might know. When she calms down maybe we will find he again and have a better talk. Now she said something about obian I might know something about that."

"Really? What do you know?"

Shizuku shot forward, and hugged Takumi. "Hey ... I missed you ..." She had her arms wrapped tightly around her waist, and her head right next to it, and no intention whatsoever of letting go.

"Seems like you had a fright...what's happened?" *She took her over to a nearby bench, petting her hair*

"A taboo in magic is to revive a person, we call them obians. They are very powerful beings that can learn anything just by being hit by it. Obians are said to go crazy and kill the person who revived them, that is all I know. Pyrus refused to tell me more then that." Feix thought a minute.

"...oh dear. Then I must have..." *She just trailed off, lost in thought*

"I was followed by 2 people, they wanted me to answer everything they wanted to know. Also about Obians, while that's where I ran from." She let a tear escape her eyes. Looking up, she explained what happened in more detail, but also a bit subectively, making her look like the victim more and more.

"It's okay...it's okay...I'm here, and no one's going to hurt you..." *She rocked her back and forth, trying to calm her down* "Why were they asking about Obians? Aren't they tabooed?"

Sniffing a bit, she let Takumi ease her down. "They are, but I've been at their homes. And it's a terrible dark place. I couldn't stay there ... " She couldn't stop the tears, and was letting it out.

"Those who meddle with death end up dead, I guess it is poetic justice that reviving a dead body gets you killed." Feix sounded a little down.

"But still...someone cared enough about this person to bring her back to life, making me, and then I go and kill them?"

"You were with Vayne for 10 years...what made you leave her?" *Takumi gave Shizuku a boxed lunch* "But before you respond...have a bite to eat, will you?"

"I know it sounds wrong but that is how life works I guess. For someone with no emotions you are takibg this bad." Feix tilted his head a little at Tsunna.

"...I know...it's just, if that is what has happened in my past...I'm not sure if I want to find out about my entire past...you know?"

"I don't want to eat, I just want to feel happy again. And in the Obians homeworld, that's just not possible, it's a void ofnothing, nobody reacts happily, or even sad, or angry, it's all the same. I couldn't handle it anymore. And Vayne didn't seem to care about it anymore either."

"Then how about coming to live with me and Gino for a bit, till you can find your own happiness? I'm sure he and the kids would love to see you after all this time..." *Takumi looks around, observing a dispersing crowd*

"I will tell you this not knowing about yourself might be more frightening then knowing. We can learn to move on and learn from our mistakes but if not we know of them then we just repeat them."

"But one of those two, that guy, was a bit friendly. The woman was just like the other Obians, she insisted I had to tell her everything, forced me to, and I ran ... " She sniffed again.

"Well, ok, I can do that." She sticked to Takumi, holding her arm close to her chest, and not letting go, like a small child.

"Alright...where were these people? Will you lead me to them?"

"Maybe...I just don't know if I should continue, knowing what you just told me..."

Shizuku lead Takumi back the road she ran down, towards the two, who were there, talking still, while the mob had gone away again. Hiding a bit behind Takumi, she pointed at them, indicating that was the duo which had bombarded her with questions before.

"I think it is best for you to decide what to do but not knowing will just make you ignorant to your own self and that is bad." Feix sighed.

"I guess...are you still willing to help me?"

*Takumi approached the duo* "What's the big idea, scaring my friend here like that? She's been through alot, you know!"
