Chii stepped back away from Xellos in surprise at what was in each of his hands. She loosely pulled her right hand into a fist and held it in front of her mouth in shock, her eyes fixed on the objects in his hands. Her golden eyes darted from one hand to the other, trying to understand what was going on with what he was saying.

"This hurts people?" she asked curiously, her voice somewhat muffled by the fist she was holding over her mouth. Upon hearing his last statement, Chii shook her head vigorously. "Chii does not want to see destruction."

Her free hand found its way to the sphere of water. She put one finger out and poked at it.

"Well that's good! I would have been sad if you did. You can touch the fire too if you want. Since it's a magical fire, I can control the heat. Go on, it'll be just as cool as the water is. All I'm doing is making elements right here. Magic, at least as it is in my world, is broken down into basic categories. Right now, you're seeing the two most popular, fire and water. There is also air or wind magic, which can be used to put out dangerous fire, or keep someone cool on a hot day and Earth magic. It doesn't have much usefulness in every day life, but it's fun to play around with. Then, there are the last to categories, Holy and Dark or Black Magic. Holy magic, as the name implies, is granted from the Cepheid.....though you probably don't know who that is. So let's just call her the Loving Mother. She looks out for all of the creatures in the world. And the dark magic is granted from the evil Monsters. Lord Shabranigdo and his five lords. Zellas, Dynast, Gaav, Phibrizzo and the Deep Sea Dolphin."

Xellos watched in amusement as Chii investigated the fire and water.

"Though there is on other use for some of the more destructive spells. Tell me, do you know what fireworks are?"

Looking to Xellos' eyes curiously, Chii slowly lowered the hand that was on front of her mouth. Her left hand was no fully immersed in the orb of water, and her other hand was slowly making its way to the ball of fire. She was skeptical due to what she had been taught, but she trusted Xellos and put her hand in the fire, feeling nothing as she listened to Xellos speak. She shook her head when he mentioned that she probably didn't know who someone was. She had never heard of any of them.

"Chii doesn't think magic exists where she is from."

She looked to the side, thinking so that she could confirm what she just said. Satisfied that she was right, she looked to Xellos again as he asked her about "fireworks." Embarassed, she shook her head once more, unaware of this new word.

"Maybe it doesn't. It's rare even where I'm from. Though those that do posses it usually have lots of it. Now, fireworks, that's a beautiful sight. Imagine a dark night, the sky filled with bright stars. Suddenly you hear a pop then a long whistle and you can see a bright dot flying up into the sky leaving a train of smoke behind. Then BANG! The sky lights up with bright colors. Red, blue, green, yellow, purple and many more. Then more whistles followed by more colorful explosions. Some take shapes, some spell out words, other are just beautiful!"

Xellos smiled and closed both his hand, the water and fire vanishing.

"Now, just because this fire is safe to touch, don't go sticking you hand into every flame you see ok? Most of them will hurt you. And for the fireworks, sadly, you'll have to wait until tonight for those. You won't be bale to see them well with the sun in the sky."

Xellos gently put a hand on Chii's head and patted her.

"So, is there anything else I can teach you?"

(Um)

Wolfwood was confused, amazed, and entertained by all that happened. He was reminded of when he took care of orphans, back at the church. Then an idea popped into his head. "I enjoyed the show, but I'll see you guys later. I'll be back around dinner." Wolfwood picked up the Punisher, and carried it over his back into town. He clearly didn't know that guns are much more feared here, and less people use them now.

Chii jerked her hands back when Xellos closed his, watching the water and flames vanish. She watched him describe 'fireworks' with great enthusiasm. She wasn't sure why, but she felt the need to smile because of this, so she did.

"Chii cannot wait to see the fireworks!" she shouted happily, jumping up and down a few times as her long hair hopped around alongside her small body.

She stopped for a moment to look at the priest after he spoke, but he was already on his way back to the house.

Chii smiled happily as Xellos patted her on the head, knowing that she was doing something right. Unable to contain herself, she pounced on Xellos. Her arms flung around his neck as her body slammed against his with a force that could possibly knock him over. Chii had still not learned how appropriate or not this action was. She smiled up at him at his final question.

"Chii will not know what she needs to learn unless she sees something she does not know."

Xellos stood there with a slightly confused look on his face. This was the first time that anyone had touched him without intent to harm, so he wasn't exactly sure what to do. He wabbleded for a few seconds before finally regaining his balance.

"Well, I'm not exactly sure what else I can show you. Unless you want go go exploring this world that we're in now? I'm not sure what we'll see, but I'll be it'll be fun! And it's something where we can both learn!"

"Chii!!"

With delight written all over her face, Chii jumped up against Xellos and hugged him tightly again, just as she would Hideki.

"Chii would love this! Xellos has taught Chii so much already!"

OOC: Yeah, it's perfectly fine to just jump in. All characters still have their powers abilities. The only thing is that they can not enter a bedroom that is not their via the door, window or teleportation. And sorry for the not being around yesterday Mel, a friend kinda went into the Hospital.

((OOC: Oh no! Don't even worry about me. I'm in and out because of work and school anyway. I hope your friend is okay!=/ Welcome, Flesh.Chobit! ^_^))

OOC: He's better, just been working himself a bit too hard. Thanks for asking. And you really don't have to read all of what was posted. It's actually a good thing seeing as your character wouldn't know what happened before they arrived, though it is fun to read ^_^

Xellos straightened up with a slightly confused look on his face. "Eh?" Then he smiled.

"I believe we have a new friend maybe. Shall we go meet him or her?"

Xellos grinned and both he and Chii vanished. The both appeared a few feet directly in front of Misuzu, Chii still holding onto Xellos.

"Why hello there ma'am! I'm assuming that you have no idea where you are, well I'm sorry but I can't help you there, because we have no clue where we are either!"

Xellos leaned forward with a large grin on his face.

Chii gasped as she and Xellos vanished. It felt like only a split second before they reappeared at the front door of the house. She stumbled about for a few seconds before settling against Xellos, trying to regain her composure from the sudden magic he had just performed. Suddenly Chii noticed a young girl in front of them. She hadn't been in the house before, and must have just appeared here just as Chii herself had, as well as the others. She clung to Xellos' arm for a few more moments before letting go to inspect the newcomer.

She took one step forward and leaned in towards the young girl, the index finger of her right hand poking at the corner of her own mouth in curiosity.

"Chiiii?"

"Ja.....pan? Japan? Never heard of it. Must be a small country or a hidden shrine or something."

Xellos spoke before thinking and stopped himself from saying anything else stupid.

"Actually, all we know is that everyone in the house, at least so far, is from either a different time or different reality. Take myself for example. My name is Xellos Metallium, priest and general to Lady Beastmaster Zellas. In my world, the name of Lady Zellas is known far and wide, but is unknown here. Another difference is that in my world, magic is a common practice. Most cannot do more then basic fireball spells, but everyone knows about it, while my little friend here, had never heard the term magic, magician or even the word firework before. Now now little one, it isn't polite to stare."

Xellos smiled and put a hand on Chii's shoulder.

"Why don't you introduce yourself? Maybe she'll be able to teach you something as well. Though she seems confused about where she is, she does seem to be familiar with what this building looks like. So maybe you are from this world, or perhaps one similar?"

"Get what?"

Xellos looked at her with a confused look on his face, not understanding what she meant by 'Did I get it?' And as Misuzu tried explaining where and what Japan was, Xellos seemed even more confused. He understood that she was trying to show him where Japan was in this world, but the world he was from only had one large body of land with a few small islands scattered here and there and one large island that almost none dare travel too. It's name was Neo Wolf island, the home of Beastmaster Zellas Metallium, or as she was known to humans, the Greater Beast Zellas This was the place of Xellos' birth as well as where he spent the first few hundred years of his life.

"Why yes, my, or should I saw our, appearing here before was indeed magic. Though that is nothing special. My little friend here saw some more impressive things earlier, but the most impressive is to be saved for tonight. You're welcome to come along if you wish!"

As she continued to speak, Xellos looked around the area, none of this was familiar to him, save for his room which was designed after a typical inn room from his world. A bed, small desk with chair and a straw covered floor. "Well, if anything is familiar you're one step ahead of myself and her too I believe, for I think she is as out of place here as I."

Tilting her head, Chii looked to the young girl in in front of her, trying to figure out what she was doing when she was wiping and prodding at her mouth. She glanced back at Xellos as he addressed her, finally remembering what she was taught to do first when she was approached by someone knew.

"I'm Chii!" she shouted suddenly, jumping happily in the air at both the realization of remembering what she was taught and at the fact that she was meeting someone new. She stopped suddenly, trying to remember what she was supposed to do next.

She listened to Xellos and the young woman speak in the background as her memory scanned it's contents for her next move. Chii's systems normally worked faster than this, but in this new place, she wasn't sure what she should think about anything.

"What is your name?" she blurted out as soon as Xellos finished his last sentence. Chii stepped back beside Xellos, embarrassed at her outburst. Quietly, she mumbled, "Hideki taught Chii not to yell..." She trailed off, continuing after a few moments. "Chii is sorry."
