Hello

uh, hi. :o

I see. Ready to start?

Whever you arez readyz. :3

Kay. :3

Koi and his two kids, Jamie and Lauren, are walking in the rain. Lauren hears the music box and is curious to know where it's coming from. Almost hypnotized by the soothing melody to her insane developing mind, Lauren follows the sound of the music box with no thought of telling her father or brother.

Lauren: *whispers* Woah... Oh, um... Exscuse me? Miss? You have a very lovely music box.

Koi: *finds Lauren and goes upto her* What are you doing? It's gonna rain harder s-- ... *sees Bernadette* oh hello, Ma'am. I'm sorry if my daughter disturb you.
.
Lauren: *sigh* I'm sorry, Miss.

Lauren: Really? *takes the music box* Thank you!
.
Jamie: ... Are you... porcelain?
.
(they don't like saying the word Doll around their dad)

Lauren: Woah, Really? I've never met a porcelain uh....lady before.
.
Koi: ... Um.... Kids. Uh... We need to go. *looking a lil sad suddenly*
.
Jamie: Should we stop saying Porcelain too?
.
Koi: Anything doll related... Please... *trying not to tear up, but it's not really working*
.
Lauren: Let's get you home, dad. *looks at Bernadette* Thanks again for the music box, I wish we could've talked more, but... Anyway, it was nice meeting you!
.
The three head off. Koi remains quiet the entire way home.

The next day, Koi walks through town, just to get some air and time to himself. The people in town give him looks of fear and judgement. He doesn't care about it. He walks by where he met Bernadette an looks at where it was and thinks about yesterday then he continued to walk.

She can see him near the forest's entrance.

Koi: *turns around to see its her, surpised* It's you! I never thought we'd meet again.... What brings you here?

(Gonna head to bed! We can continue later! See ya later!)

Koi: For me? *takes it and takes off the wrapping*

Koi smiled as he watched the music box.
.
Koi: *smiling* Thank you. I'll treasure it forever.

Koi: Uh, Hey, wait...

Koi: What's you name?

Koi: I'm Koi. *shakes her hand*

Koi hesitated before asking, but asked anyway...

Koi: Would you like to be friends?

Koi: Yeah. Friends. You just seem intresting... I'd like to know you more. *smiles a bit*

Koi: *smiles* Ok, Let's start by going on a walk together. ^ ^

Koi: So... Do you live here? I've never seen you around.

Koi: Hm... I have to be around others. The silence isn't good for my sanity... Or what's left of it.

Koi: Really? I see. I like the way music boxes sound. It's calming. But... It's much better to have someone to talk to.

Koi: It's fine. I talk to myself sometimes and well... I have three souls so how can you not?

Koi: *chuckles* ^ ^ But, Yeah... The whole reason I'm even alive is my insanity My insane soul that harnesses it all. It's weird. I'm more than 1000 years old. If I lost my insanity, I'll die within mere minutes. I just... I just don't like the way I keep my insanity... It's brutal... Bloody... *sigh* But, anything to stay alive I guess... For my kids.

Koi: Yeah. That's true. *smiles at bit at her* I love my kids, I'll do anything for them. Even if it means living with an insane mind.

Koi: If you want, you could come over and visit us. I'm sure the kids would like you. *smiles*

Koi: Great. ^ ^ Maybe you can come over for dinner! Wait, Can you eat?

Koi: *nods* Hm... Maybe I should head home. Oh! here. *gives her the address to Yuku's Mansion* This is where me and my kids live. You can't miss it!

That night, Dinner had just been served and the table has been set. Almost everyone has sat down. Koi waits anxiously for Bernadette, hoping she can arrive.
.
Koi: *staring at the dining room entrance*
.
Yuku: So, Who's this lady your kids told me about? ewe
.
Koi: Hey, We're just friends. -3-' And she should be here any minute.
.
Yuku: eve
.
Koi: - -'

Koi: *shakes head* Just in time actually. I reserved a seat for you. *smiles a bit*
.
Bernadette can see that there are many people at the huuuge dining table. All of which live in the giant mansion. He seat is in between Koi and his two kids.
.
Yuku: It's a pleasure to have you here, Bernadette. Koi and his kids have told me much about you. *smiles and looks at his kids* isn't that right?
.
Lauren: yeah!
.
Jamie: Mhm!

Yuku: Well, I love meeting new people. Especially Unique ones. I've never met a person like you. ^ ^
.
Soon Yuku's servants come around and help serve dinner to everyone. Everyone gets a plate with a serving of everything Yuku made for dinner. Everyone also gets water.

Koi: *whispers to her* Everything ok over there?

Koi: *smiled and even blushed a tiny bit at her* Maybe one day you'll get used to it. ^ ^

Koi: *chuckles* ^ ^
.
Yuku: >v<
.
After dinner, Koi invites her to the garden. Her wants to show her all the flowers.

Koi: The roses are one of my favorites. ^ ^ The mistress grew them herself. Of course the other flowers are beautiful too.

Meanwhile, Koi looks at her and blushes a bit. He is surprised at himself, for he may have a crush. (ewe) He eventually stops looking and just looks at that night's moon.

Koi feels a bit awkward. He silently sighs.
.
Koi: It's pretty, isn't it?

Koi: *blushes a bit more* ... Berna... I... er... Never mind.... *rubs arm*

Koi: No, no... It's fine. *keeps rubbing his arm*

Koi: Sure. *smiled a bit*

Koi: Woah... That's cool! I'm guessing it always runs?

Koi: wait... Won't you stop living if you take it out? I mean, it's like your heart right? *getting memories of the many hearts he's ripped out of his victims chests*

He says with a concerned look on his face.

Koi: Oh! So it is like an actual heart. I see. Sure. I'll hold it. *goes closer to her*

Koi: I will. *nods*
.
Koi holds the music box and smiles at it for a minute or two but then gets the look of fear in his face.
.
Koi: Take it. *handing it back, having a bit of trouble breathing*

(MAy or may not fall asleep while rping. Just a heads up)

Koi: N-No.... No...... *closes eyes* no.... *hugs her, sighs* I'm just disturbed at myself right now... I'm sorry about what just happened. I'm... truly sorry... I really think my mind is getting worse...

Koi: ... *lets go* I'm sorry. It's just that... since she died... My mental state has been worse and I'm starting to hallucinate more than usual... I should get some rest... You should too... *rubbibg his arm, feels awkward*

The next day, Koi honks about yesterday and feels embarrassed. He stays home and tries to get over it.

Lauren headed out with the mistress to find Bernadette. Lauren called out her name.

Lauren: Where is she?
.
Yuku: *had a parasol* Are you sure this is where she lives?
.
Lauren: Yes.
.
Yuku: Let's keep looking.

Lauren: there you are!!.
.
Yuku: Koi has been acting a lil weird since yesterday night.
.
Lauren: Yeah... What happened?

Lauren: .... Oh...
.
Yuku: *puts a hand on Lauren's shoulder*
.
Lauren: *looks sad, looks down* .... He.. He w-was talking a-about... Mom. She calmed him... She made him feel b-better and happy. Wh-When Mom died... He didn't want to let go of her h-hand.. He didn't want her to let her go... We weren't ready either... We still miss her so much... It hurts.
.
Yuku: *rubs Lauren's shoulder*

Lauren: B-But.... But.... Sh-She was so beautiful! *covering her face and crying hard* Sh-She w-was so n-nice and... *sniffs* and... *crying a lot*
.
Yuku: oh no, sweetie... *hugs Lauren* Shhh... Shhh...
.
Lauren: *hugging back, crying into Yuku's shoulder*
.
Yuku: *looks at Bernadette, then looks back at Lauren* I should take you home... You need some rest.
.
Lauren: *tears falling, sniffing* ....

Yuku takes her home and lets Lauren rest. She worries for the well being of Koi and his family.

Koi was outside in the garden lying on the ground. He is trying to calm his mind.

When she gets there, Yuku tells her where Koi is.

Koi sits up and looks around, he sees her. He is holding the music box she gave him. The tune just ended just as she entered.
.
Koi: .. B-Berna...

He is surprised at first... but then he hugs her back and lays his head gently on her shoulder as he closes his eyes.

Koi blushes and hugs her tighter. He lifts her chin to face her and looks at her.

Koi kissed her cheek and hid his face in her shoulder as he hugged her. He rubbed her back and closed his eyes. No words being said.

Koi: ... Thank you... *places his forehead on her forehead and still has his eyes closed* .....

Koi: *opens his eyes and looks into her's, he blushes* ... *holds one of her hands*
.
(This is cuuuuuute)

Koi: ... *blushes more*... Do you like me?

Koi: Ok.... But... What I was asking was... Do you like me in a different way?

Koi: *starts to blush even more, getting nervous* Y-Yes...

Koi: *blushing still and smiles* If your heart says yes. Then yes. *still kinda nervous*

Koi: *blushes a bit red* Yes.... *closes his eyes*

Koi: You are more than that. *hands on her cheeks* Much more...

(good night!)

Koi: *face kinda red, nods*

Koi: *hugged tightly, closes his eyes once more*
.
After the hug, the two head inside and get something to eat.

Koi holds her hand tighter and smiles, he even lets out a small chuckle.

Koi: You want a sandwich?

Koi makes her a sandwich. And he makes one for himself. They sit at the dining table.
.
Koi: uh... How would you feel if we... went on a date? *blushing*

Koi: uh... Tomorrow?

Koi: uh... How does 6:00 at the park sound?

Koi: ok. Then it's settled. *smiled as he blushed*

After lunch, Koi walks her home.

Koi smiles at the sight of her smile. He drops her off at where she lived and went home happier than he was before.

[its too cute >w<]
.
Koi goes to sleep happy that night, he could think of nothing but her before drifting to sleep.

Koi started to get ready after breakfast. His kids asked him questions like, "Where are you going, daddy?" and "Why so fancy?" He just chuckled and laughed and replied "If luck's on my side, maybe you'll see why I'm all dressed up later."

When she got there, She saw Koi sitting on bench near a pond. He has his hair pulled back into a short ponytail and he is wearing a black button up shirt with his red tie and gray pants. He looks into the pond as he waits for her.

He smiled and laughed.
.
Koi: *playfully* Oh no! The lights went out! Where's the on switch?! *chuckling*

Koi: Hello, Lovely. *smiles* Come sit. ^///^

Koi: *smiles* How are you?

Koi: I'm well. ^ ^ Would you like to go on a walk?

Koi chuckled and grabbed her hand, The two started their walk near the pond.

Koi smiles and blushes as she put her head on his shoulder, he held her hand firmly.
.
Koi: Today's a nice day, huh?

Koi: Aww. ^ ^ I guess I can say the same. *smiles at her*

Koi: I have a question. It's kind of a personal question. I hope you don't mind.

Koi: Where did you come from? Since your porcelain in all, Someone must've have made you.

Koi: Really? Well, They did a good job.... *blushes* You're beautiful.

Koi: *covers his mouth, realized what he said* Y-You're welcome. *holds her hand* Now you a-ask me s-something.

Koi: I came from Japan. Just about 1,000 years ago.

Koi: It was... beautiful there. And nice too Mostly everyone was so happy. The food was good too. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those times, but then I remember I have kids, friends and I can make the present just as nice as the past and well, you're making it nicer too.

Koi: *holds her hand* Well, Let's not dwell on the past. You'll miss a lot of the present and future if you do. *looks around*

Koi: Ok, uh... What do you do for fun?

Koi: hm. I see. I just watch my kids play. *chuckles* you

ingore that "you" at the end.

*ignore

Koi: yeah, they do. One time my kids were pretending to be bugs fighting each other. *chuckles*

Koi: *smiles* Wanna go watch the sunset?

They find a bench with a good view of the sun setting on the horizon.

Koi rested his head on her head and held her hand, he smiles. After a few minutes, He looks at her in the eyes and smiles at her beautiful face. For a second, he hesitated, then he decided it was now or never. With a blushing face, He kissed her.

He hugged her tightly while blushing afterwards, he was smiling and didn't want to let her go. He whispered in her ear the three lovely words: "I love you."

Koi looked at her & smiled. He takes her to her home that night & kisses her good-bye.

The next day, Koi sighs happily as he thinks about yesterday. He goes to eat breakfast with his kids and blushes as he thinks of Bernadette. His kids giggle and laugh at his blushing face.

Koi goes over to her home and knocks on her door.

Koi: Uh... Hi. *smiling* I brought you these. *shows her a bouquet of flowers* I hope you like them. *smiled at her and blushes a bit*

Koi: *smiles & blushes* You're welcome. Anyway, I came over to ask you if you wanted to come over. The kids want to see you.

Koi: ok. I'll lay you put those in a vase and we can head over there. ^ ^

They wak to the mansion and see the kids.
.
Jamie: Berna!! ^D^
.
Lauren: You're here!

They hug her.
.
Lauren: Wanna play with us?
.
Jamie: please? Please?

Lauren: Yaaay! ^ ^ We're making a pillow fort!
.
Jamie: Yeah!
.
Koi: *smiles*

They show her a half built pillow fort. Made from couch cushions, chairs, pillows and blankets. Koi watches and chuckles from a distance. After a few minutes though, his insane soul talks to him and Koi looks a lil uneasy. Then they both leave the living room.

Lauren: What's wrong? o.o
.
Jamie: Did ya see a ghost? :0 I saw one once! It looked sad.

Lauren: He left? *looks* Oh yeah.. He did.
.
Jamie: He probably went to the u-uh, basement.
.
Lauren: Y-Yeah. *setting up pillows*

Lauren: Ok!
.
Jamie: *waits till she leaves* you think daddy told her?
.
Lauren: he must've... Right?

When Bernadette gets close to the base ment, a servant stops her.
Skulldra: oh! Uh, you don't wanna go in there. ^ ^' Koi is busy "playing with his friends".

Skulldra: Y-Yes.
.
The base ment door opens behind them, Koi comes out dripping with blood. He is covered with it. He sees Bernadette & she sees him. He runs back inside the base ment & hides in one of its darkest corners, he starts tearing up & his eyes are all wide open, He curls up on the floor and looks at all the blood, guts, limbs, & heads spreaded throughout the room.

When she gets down there, she sees all the horrors and blood and the decapitated heads have deformed and horrific faces. Koi is in the corner hiding his face and curled up. Waiting to hear her scream of fear and run away. Waiting for her to never come back to him. Waiting for her to be afraid of him for the rest of her life.

He was stunned to find that she was still there and his breathing was shakey. The blood in his white hair gets on her hand. He slowly looks at her, shaking, he looks at her. He has tears in his eyes.
.
Koi: I-I didn't want you t-to see th-this...
.
I.Koi: She was gonna find out one day anyhow. :/
.
Koi: .... You actually made sense for once. *chuckles a bit then stops* ..... *looks at Bernadette* please. Don't think wrong of me... I.... This is the only way I can live.... If I don't do this, I'll die.... I'm sorry.... I'm sorry .... *hides face*

Koi had nothing to say, he was speechless. He smiled then kissed her.
.
Koi: Thank you... *smiled a bit*

Koi: *smiles* Erm... I'll clean up. ^ ^'

Koi goes to shower and Lauren and Jamie are looking for Bernadette.

Koi cleans up the base ment and heads back to the kids too eventually.
.
They all play in the pillow fort. They play board games and card games and even hide and seek.

Lauren tries not to giggle as she hid in a cabinet. Jamie smiled as he hid behind the couch.
.
Koi: Hmm... If I were a Jamie, a Jamie as small as he, where I could hide, where indeed.

Jamie: AHHH! Nooooo!!! XD
.
Koi: *looks* We found Jamie!!! ^ ^

Jamie: *giggles* You got me!!! ^D^

Jamie: Let's find Lauren!!!
.
(Ok! I'll see it soon!)

Jamie: *holding her hand*
.
[ ugh, I change my email that my account was linked to and now I'm having activation issues. For now, I'll be replying to everything best I can still it gets fixed. ):]

Lauren: *giggles a bit*
.
Jamie: I heard something! Over there! *drags Bernadette to the cabinet*

Koi: *chuckles*
.
Lauren: *trying not to laugh* >w<
.
Jamie: *giggles*

Lauren: Aaaaah! *giggled* >D<
.
Koi: *smiled*
.
Jamie: Got ya!!!

Lauren: *giggled, hugged her* I love you, Bernadette!

Lauren: *smiles*
.
Jamie: *hugs Berna's legs* ^ ^
.
Koi: *hugs them all*

They hugged & Koi stole a kiss from Bernadette when her eyes were closed.

Koi: *chuckled* ^////^
.
Lauren: *smiles*
.
Jamie: *giggles*

Soon the kids leave the parents alone and play else where. Koi smiles and hugs Bernadette. He spins her around and snuggles her. As if saying thank you.

Koi: I love you so much, Bernadette. <3 <3

Koi: *smiles, cuddles & snuggles her* I think I'll go take a nap... Kinda tired..

Koi: I'll see you later. ^/////^

Koi goes to nap and the kids say goodbye to Bernadette.

The next day, Koi takes his kids on a walk.

The three knock on her door.

Lauren: hello!
.
Koi: We were wondering if you wanted to come walk with us in the forest

They walk to the forest.

Jamie: Berna?

Jamie: Do you know what Poison Ivy looks like? :o

Jamie: Me neither! :o
.
Lauren: Just don't touch any plants , Jamie! 'Cause neither do I! :o
.
Koi: I think I do... Not sure though... :T

Koi smiled & held her hand, He looked at her in the eyes & smiled more. Letting out a small chuckle. Meanwhile, Lauren & Jamie played tag.

He puts a hand on her shoulder me holds her close, smiling.
.
Koi: You're so cute. ^ ^

Koi: No! You are! *huggles her* ^////^

Koi: ^ ^ *kisses her cheek* <3 I love you.

Koi: <3 *picks her up & carries her*

Koi: *smiling* ^///^ *kisses her cheek* Too cute.
.
Lauren: *sees them & giggles* ^ ^
.
Jamie: Awww. ^ ^

Koi chuckled and smiled. The kids went and hugged Berna. They think she is so cute!

Koi: *blushes* You're making the poor thing blush, kids. ^////^
.
Lauren: Sorry! She's just really cute! ^ ^
.
Jamie: I think beautiful is the word!
.
Koi: *smiles* Right you are, Jamie. ^/////^

Koi: *looks at her* Ok, I think we should leave 'er alone. Her face is as red as a... *shakes head* or a....It's just really red. ^////^''
.
Jamie: Red like an apple?
.
Koi: Yeah. *looks at her* You ok? We'll stop, Promise.

Koi: *blushes a bit red* O-Oh, Ok.
.
Lauren: * chuckles a bit* ^ ^

Koi: *chuckles a bit*
.
Jamie: hey, it's getting dark! L-Lets head back!
.
Lauren: oh yeah!
.
Koi: uh, ok, Let's head back. *looks at Berna* hey, want me to keep carrying you?

[is that for a different rp? :0]
.
Koi: Silly. *chuckles* Amd does Princess Porcelain wanna go anywhere else before we head back?
.
The kids giggle quietly to themselves.

It's ok. :3 I do the same thing sometimes.
.
Koi: As you wish, Princess. ^////^
.
They find a good spot in an open field and wait for the stars to arrive.

The kids fell asleep in the grass together. Koi & Bernadette lay next to eachother, holding eachother's hands, Koi smiles & holds her close.

Koi smiled back & chuckled a bit, He took off his suit's jacket & put it on her like a blanket.

Koi: *smiles* You're so cute. ^ ^

Koi: No, You're cuter! >//v//<

Koi: *tickles her* >w<

Koi: *picks her up and sets her on his lap, cuddles and hugs her, hides face on her shoulder* Thank you, Bernadette. *smiles*

Koi: For being a part of my life. <3 *kisses her*

Koi: *holds her close* Oh! It's getting late. I should take you home. ^ ^' I didn't mean to keep you out this long.

Koi: *gets up and helps her up* I'll get you home. And the kids too. ^ ^

He takes her home and kisses her goodbye.

Late that night... Footsteps approach Bernadette while she sleeps...

The next morning, Bernadette wakes up in a dark, cold room...

Bright lights from the ceiling lit the room... She could see that she was being held in a padded room. There was a single heavy duty priso-like door & a single wide window on the wall. Through the window she could see another room with a desk & chair with a microphone on the desk. Soon, Two men walk into that room. One that is in a dark brown trench coat & matching dark hat and the other that looked something like a doctor. He held up a clipboard & pencil as the man in the trench coat sat at the desk & turned on the microphone... He spoke. His voice a little harsh, but serious.
.
???: Can you hear me?

TCG: No. You are here for questioning. Answer our questions & you may return to your home. Understand?
.
[TCG means Trench Coat Guy]

TCG: Good. Now, Question Number 1: Do you know a man named Koi Kurasachii?
.
DG: Don't try to lie, unless you want to get a limb smashed.
.
TCG: Hush, we don't want to scare her.
.
(DG means Doctor Guy)

TCG: Don't worry a bout him. He's just doesn't like liars.

TCG: Hm... What is he doing? Like where does he live? Does he have a family?

A man walks into the room the men are in & tells them something.
.
TCG: Looks like we don't need you anymore... *whispers something to DG*
.
DG: *walks into the room Bernadette is in, pushes her onto a gurney of some sort & restrains her on to it with metal restraints.

DG: Hush. *forces her to swallow a pill, the pill is supposed to put her to sleep*

She woke up in her house, on her bed. Almost as if it was a dream.

She sees Yuku outside with two servants, Skulland & Skulldra. The three are going around town, asking people if they saw Koi.

Yuku: *sighs*.... *looks angry* They took him... and his kids... If they k!ll him, I SWEAR some people are gonna die today!!!
.
Skulldra: Have you seen him, Miss?
.
Skulland: Do you know anything about it?

Yuku: well... Thanks for telling us what you know... We have to find him!!! ... We have to... He's like a brother to me... *sigh* The only place that I can think that they took him to is where it all began... 425's Cell at the old abandoned asylum, but I'm not sure.
.
Skulland: Well, it's something!

Yuku: Wanna join me & help me find him?

They head to the old asylum and see that it had been reopened and renewed. Fixed and polished. Yuku gets a look of anger and grabs Bernadette's hand. The servants stay outside. Yuku and Berna bust through the doors and Yuku looks around angrily. "WHERE IS HE?!", she demaningly asked. The room was silent as everyone in the room stared at her and Bernadette...

Yuku was FURIOUS. A scream of pain echoed from a hallway and Yuku followed it, bringing Bernadette with her. They followed the screams until they reached a room where Koi was tied to retrained in a chair. He looks tired and beaten up. There are brown and gray streaks in his hair which is never a good sign. There are a lot of them. He has blood dripping from his mouth. A man is standing next to him and looked at Yuku and Bernadette. Yuku swiftly slashed the man with her nails, stunning him. She decided to take care of the Doctor. While Bernadette looked for a way to free Koi from the chair.

*restrained

(Doctor is the guy who got slashed btw)

Koi rubbed his wrists and then hugged Bernadette. He leaned on her for he couldn't stand. Yuku then comes over and helps Bernadette help Koi stand. He coughed up blood and got weaker with every passing minute. They headed for the front door. Everyone stayed outta their way. For it wasn't Koi, they were afraid of. They were afraid of the wrath of The Vampire Queen.

It doesn't do much good... They took him home & to his room & laid him down. Yuku wasn't sure what to do next. She cursed & sweared out of worry... She started to panic & cry... Koi was still dying slowly. The more sane, the quicker.

Yuku: I... I have an idea!!! Quick! Quick!

Yuku: *picks up Koi* C'mon!!!

Yuku carries Koi down into the base ment. She lays him down in the middle of the dark room & backs away. They stay back.
.
Yuku: Hopefully he has enough time left... I hope my idea works...
.
So far, nothing is happening. Until a few minutes later, Koi started to move his read & mumble, as if he was having a nightmae. Yuku's idea was working.

Yuku looked back at her & then looked back at Koi, who was now holding his head & crying. She left the base ment for minute & came back with a frying pan & a wooden spoon. She went closer to Koi & started to hit the frying pan as hard she could with the wooden spoon. Koi looked up at her, his eyes wide & shut his eyes tight as he covered his ears in attempt to block out the noise. His hair was turning white again. He screamed, "STOP! STOOOP!", but Yuku kept banging on the frying pan.

Koi stood up, still covering his ears. He smacked the frying pan & wooden spoon out of Yuku's hands & grabbe her wrists tightly as his eyes, as usual, glow red in the dark of the base ment. For the first time in her life, Yuku was afraid of Koi... He even growled, as if the inner beast was about to come out.

Koi look at Yuku & realized what he was doing.. He let go of her wrists... He started to shake. He turned around to hug Bernadette... He then let go of her...
.
Koi: Yuku..... I'm sorry.....
.
Yuku: U-Uh..... N-No worries...
.
Koi: *rubs arm* .... *looks down* For a moment.. I was sane again...It felt good... but, I realize now that my place is here.... for now....

Koi hugged her and hid his face in her neck. He hugs her tightly. He feels so guilty. Yuku leaves them be and goes back upstairs and to rest her head.

Koi: I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you had to go through the trouble of getting kidnapped and all this... *sigh* ... Forgive me, Berna...

Koi: *smiled a bit* Thank you...
.
(Sure!)

(Also, sorry for replaying really late. >.<')

Koi: *smiled* I.. I think I'm gonna take a nap. -u-
.
(It's fine I understand :3 Also, you wanted to ask me something?)

(wow. xD Well, when you remember ask me! :D)
.

Koi: No, come with me. Nap with me. Please? *hand on her cheek*

They went to his room and he napped with Bernadette. Fortunately, he didn't have nightmares.

Koi snuggled her and held her close. He felt calm and sane for that one singular nap.

Koi smiled a bit in his sleep and rubbed his head on her a bit. Meanwhile, I.Koi came out and licked her cheek.

(Sometimes. xD yeah.)
.
Koi was still sleeping. But he was smiling more.

I.koi came out of his dark portal thing near her. He wasn't controlling Koi'a body anymore.
.
I.Koi: Yeeeessss, dear? <3

(Yesss do that!)
.
I.Koi: *chuckles* You thought I was tasting you? *chuckles* I was just doing it becasuse I love you. <3

(Sorry I guess my comment didnt go through.)

I.Koi rubbed a cheek on her, he kissed her and licked her cheek and then he cuddles her too. Koi rubbed his head on her. Soon Bernadette was being cuddled by 2 Kois and then H.Koi decided to join in. So now, she's being cuddled by all 3 Kois. xD

(XD they love her)
.
I.Koi continued to lick her and got a little too comfortable and licked her neck. And then H.Koi pinched him. All of this in their sleep. Koi sleeps on. Being normal.

I.Koi: *does it again* <3
.
H.Koi: *kinda growls in his sleep, pushes I.Koi off the bed*
.
I.Koi: *wakes up when he hits the floor* WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
.
Koi: !!!!!!!! *startled awake*
.
H.Koi: O O!!!!!!

I.Koi: *gets up* You pushed me off!!!!
.
H.Koi: Not on purpose!
.
I.Koi: Yeah, sure! And I'm not crazy!
.
H.Koi: That doesn't make sense!!
.
Koi: Guys. Shut up.
.
They keep bickering.
.
Koi: I said... 黙れ！！(Damare!!)
.
They look at him with wide eyes. Koi looks tired.
.
Koi: でる。たった今。(Deru. Tattaima.- Out. Now.)
.
I.Koi: Fine. geez.
.
They leave.

(I drew a pic. Showing how they slept. XD)

Koi noticed a bit, but was too tired to fully notice. He pulled her close to him.
.
Koi: Sorry... Did they do anything to you?
.
(Btw, Koi is still wearing the asylum patients stuff. That's why he's dressed like that in the pic. :0)

Koi: Ok... Good... *covers mouth, yawns a bit* You can go home if you want... I might sleep the rest of the day...

Koi: Awwww. Same to you. <3 U

(Going to bed! Night!)

Koi: *smiles and then goes to sleep*
.
Koi slept for an hour or two with a smile on his face.

(When I get the chance. x3)
.
Soon he woke up. Not tired and then he stretched his arms. He then checked to see if Berna was awake.

Koi brushed some hair out of her face and smiled. He kissed her head.

(Saw it! It's so cuuuttttee! X3)

Koi: caressed her porcelain cheeks, this theme he did notice, her skin was softer

*this time

Koi: Have a good nap? *smiles*

Koi: Still tired? *hugs her* You can rest some more. I can wait. ^ ^

The clothes he was wearing smelled like they were brand new. Koi kissed her head and then asked, "Are you hungry?"

Koi: You want a sandwich or something?

Koi: Ok. *kisses her cheek* <3 *gets up, leaves to make her some lunch*

Soon he comes back with some food for her.
(Sorry for the late reply. I got busy.)

Koi: You're welcome, hon. <3

Koi: *starts to hold his head, it starts to get a bit* Agh.... Not now....

*to hurt

Koi: Y-Yes... Its just my head hurts again... Everytime I get lightheaded... ugh... I hate being a looney. I hate being a psychopath. I hate being insane........but there's not much I can do about it...

(Sorry for replying late. Was your Halloween good?)
.
Koi: *kissed her* 私の親愛なる、私はあなたを愛しています。どうもありがとうございました。(My dear, I love you. Thank you very much.) <3

(Glad to hear! Mine was good too!)
.
Koi smiled and kissed her head. He loves her laugh. <3

Koi smiled and sighed happily, then he nuzzled his head on her.

(awwwww. X3)
.
Koi liked being in her arms. He felt calm. Then he spoke.
.
Koi: Did you like your sandwich?

Koi: Good. -u- *kisses her nose*

Koi: You want do something for the rest of the day?

Koi: Maybe a date? u//v//o

Koi: Ok, Where?

Koi: Ok. Sure. *smiles* Just lemme get ready.

(Sorry. Late reply. >.<')

Soon Koi is ready to go and they head out to the Japanese garden.

Koi kept her close, it was just about dark outside, the moon full and bright. He held her hand as if she could fall at any moment, firm and comforting.
Once they arrive to the Japanese garden, Koi looked around and felt nostalgic. He smiled at the thought of his simpler days where everything was okay. No one had to die for his existence and his mind wasn't slowly rotting away.
After Koi was day dreaming, he shook his head and directed his attention at Bernadette. He then smiled softly.

Koi answered,"Yeah, When I was there it was always a beautiful sight. We would have people from all over the world visit... I just wish I could've had more time there... *sighs* ... I miss my home...

Koi: That sounds like a great idea! ^ ^

Koi seemed much happier when she said that. The thought of being able to visit home was a wonderful thing for Koi.
Koi: I wondering if my old house is still there... Geez, it's been centuries.. I'd be amazed if it's still there!

Koi: *smiles, just goes upto her and Kisses her* <3 <3

Koi kissed her more with a blushing face, he put his hands on her waist.

Koi kissed her a bit more before stopping and looking at her with his forehead on her's. He whispered,"Please don't ever leave me...", in a hushed tone. He kissed her forehead and hugged her for he loved her so dearly. He started to tear up and smile, stroking her hair, hugging her in his arms.

Koi smiled and rubbed his head on her. He then picked her up and spinned her around happily.

Koi was laughing with her and then he opened his eyes. He saw that she had more color than usual and her blush was a lot bright red. He stopped spinning her around.
.
Koi: Woah, Woah! What's this? *gently pokes her cheek,feels it's kinda squishy and warm* Bernadette, what's going on? Why are you all squishy and warm? ô.ó

Koi grabbed her hand and looked at it and saw that it was mostly skin and there were some patches of porcelain.
.
Koi: You're turning into a human? How does that work? ...Well, who cares! This is great, right? ^ ^
.
Koi looked back at her hand, she could tell he was hallucinating something unpleasant when he made a worried face and shook his head, he then looked back up at her and smiled. He was happy for her.

Koi: Y-Yeah, still as pale as before but... softer. ^ ^ *kisses her hand*

Koi: *smiles and kisses her soft warm cheek* <3 That's gonna take some getting used to. ^//^
.
H.Koi: *pokes her* Woah. o.o

H.Koi: Sorry. ^ ^'
.
Koi: *chuckles a bit* ^ ^

Koi: *sees the time* Hey, Its getting late. We should head back. *looks at the moon*

Koi surprises her by picking her up. He smiles at her and carries her home.

He rubbed his head on her forehead and he smiled. Once he brought her to her home. He kissed her goodbye.

Koi did not contact her the next day at all. Something seems to be up.

Yuku answered the door and she looked worried. She looked scared and stress out. She spoke. "Hey, Berna. H-How are you?"

Yuku just looked down and covered her mouth... She said nothing. She looked very sad... She let Berna inside and through the foyer and into the main room. Yuku stopped to breath. She then took Bernadette to the entrance of a long hallway and Bernadette could see bloody footprints on the marble floors coming out of the hallway. Crying could be heard from the hallway. Yuku said nothing and left to the garden.

As she walked, she finally came across... the tragedy. Koi was crying extremely hard and was covered in a bit of blood. The blood belonged to H.Koi. His torso was tore up and bloody. His body lay at Berna's feet. Just as Koi saw her standing there through his tears, he started to cut him arms with a hand that was now a claw, an I.Koi claw. His blood flowed out the cuts like a soft stream. He started to tremble.

Koi tried to say something, but if came out in studdered gibberish. He couldn't talk. He was shocked, upset and slowly going crazy. He looked at her with wide, tear filled eyes, he cut her cheek with his claw and watched her blood run down her cheek. He looked at it and then her eyes. He spoke.
.
Koi: Y-Y..Yug... Y-Y-Yo-u b-blug... b-b-ble-ed.... *touches the blood on her face, almost smearing it, chuckles a bit and then starts crying some more*
.
He hugs her tight and cries. Then insane laughter could be heard from the entrance of the hall way. Koi looked in that direction in horror and anger. He shook terribly.

Koi tried very very hard to block out the millions of voices of those he killed. They whispered harmful things to him. He tried very hard but he could barely hear her. He started to cry more as he yelled out,"I-I-I c-an.. can't-t.. h-ea-ar yo-ou...!!!"

He started to dig his claws into his skin even more out of anger and pain. Even though it hurt him, he couldn't stop.

He tried to hear her. But then all of the voices started screaming too. He screamed in pain and agony as a giant headache came onto him. He curled up on the floor screaming and holding his head. He couldn't take it. He started hyperventilating. He dug his claws into his head as he screams,"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!" He looks up and sees HIM at the end of the hallway. His sinister smile and glowing red eyes. Covered in blood and free of shackles. Koi stopped screaming. The voices were quiet for a moment and then they started whispering again. Koi hid his face on Bernadette. He didn't want to look at HIM as he slowly walked towards them as he dropped blood all over the floor, leaving a trail.

He said nothing. He just grinned and chuckled which rose to a insane laughter. Koi stayed close to her, but he freaked out more and more as HE got closer.... and closer... until he reached them. He hugged Bernadette and Koi while chuckling.
.
I.Koi: It's so GREAT to be FREE. After all those years!!! *chuckled* And you... *looks at Koi* You kept me chained and locked away... while he was like a tumor dulling me and my true potential... I heard you and him talking.
.
Koi: ?!
.
I.Koi: Oh yeah! I did! You two dont know how to keep secrets... "If I die, he'll be free!", he says! Haha.. If you were more careful this wouldn't have happened!
.
Koi: SHUT UP. I HATE YOU!!!
.
I.Koi: A little childish, eh?
.
Koi: Leave me alone... *cries*

(OOOOOOOHHhhhhhhh)
.
Koi: I-I don't want you to die... I-I love you....
.
I.Koi: *puts his head between* KEEPING SECRETS, ARE WE?!
.
Koi: *punches him in the nose*
.
I.Koi: ARRGHHH!! *lets them go, holds his nose*
.
Koi: *grabs Bernadette and runs outside*
.
I.Koi: *roars and chases them down*

*between them

He was getting close. Very fast. Koi was trying to run fast. He picked up Berna and tried to run away. I.Koi soon caught up and grabbed them both. He growled. Koi's head ache got worse. He started hyperventilating again. I.Koi dragged them into the basement. It was dark.

He threw them into the darkness of the basement. Koi heard glass crack and he freaked. Koi searched in the dark for Bernadette but then he looked up and saw his glowing red eyes. Koi got slashed by I.Koi across the chest and he screamed in pain.
.
I.Koi: THAT'LL TEACH YOU FOR RUNNING AWAY FROM ME. NOW

Koi couldn't see anything and started to freak out. He soon felt Berna and grabbed her. He cried hoping she was ok. He picked up Berna and ran for the stairs. He successfully made it out of the basement with Berna.
.
I.Koi stopped chasing them. He chuckled and let them go.
.
Koi ran and laid Berna on his bed. He saw the damage that had been done and was worried out of his mind. He called Yuku over and she ran over and saw what happened to Berna. She ran to a phone and called someone who could help. Koi comforted Bernadette. Trying to keep her awake.

As blood ran down Koi's torso, he flinched in pain. He didn't care though. He was too concerned for her.

Koi got a wet cold towel and put it on her head. Hoping it helped in some way. Soon Pupper, a man of many dolls and puppets ,comes over and sees the damage. He immediately begins on fixing Bernadette's cracks and such. He even gives her a new eye. After many hours, Bernadette is completely and her human skin begins to form again. Koi got patched up and was so glad to see she was okay.

Koi: Berna? ... Berna!! You're ok!!
.
Pupper: *has a mirror* Let her wake up. :<
.
Koi: O-Oh... Sorry...

Koi went to her side and hugged her gently.
.
Koi: I-I-It's okay! I-I'm here... *strokes her head*
.
Pupper: How do you feel, Miss Bernadette?
.
Yuku: Yeah, Are you ok?

Koi kissed her head, and rubbed his head on her. He winced in pain from his wounds, but he stayed close to her.
.
Pupper: Here. *hands her the mirror* If you wanna look at what's fixed.

Koi: You l-look great!
.
Yuku: Yeah, you do... *sad smile, looks at Pupper* Thank you...
.
Pupper: No problem!
.
Koi: Haha... Th-Th-That's one p-problem s-s-solved. Haha...ha.. eh......

He sighed as he looked away and frowned... He was very hurt. Physically, Mentally, Emotionally.
.
Soon Pupper goes back home and Yuku leaves them be.
.
Koi holds his knees close and hides his face, the voices were back. They were whispering as always, It irritated him, he shook his head and it did nothing, He shook his head again, but more violently, It did nothing but increase his headache. He holds his head as he waits for something to save him, because right now there's not a lot he can do. Then there was a small quiet knock on the door. Koi looked up and stared at the doorknob as if his worst nightmare was on the other side.

Koi laid in bed and put his head under his pillow, quietly.
.
When she opened the door, Lauren and Jamie were on the other side, They were worried sick about their father. They seem sad... Seems they found out what happened. They wanna see their dad.
.
Koi did not hear them... For he could not. As the voices grew louder, so did HIS laugh and only Koi could hear it. Inside his head. Koi started to cry again. He didn't want to hear the negativity.

Suddenly, HE told the voices to hush... Koi saw his kids climb onto his bed to hug him. He hugged them tightly, crying.. As they saw their father cry, They too started to cry as they worried for their dad. Koi mumbled and stuttered as he talked to his kids, explaining how he is fighting to sane for them... He stroked their cheeks and hugged them tightly... They don't let go of each other for a good while, because in Koi's mind, He really hopes this is not the last time he gets to be with his kids.

(Quick Brb!)

I.Koi was where they left him. In the dark, blood stained basement.

I.Koi saw her. He just stared at her.
.
I.Koi: What do you want?

I.Koi: About what? About him?

I.Koi: They've always been there... It's just that H.Koi acted like a pair of isolated headphones and blocked them out. Then he only heard me and him. BuT nOw ThAt He'S gOnE, iT'lL bE mUcH eAsIeR tO dRaIn HiM cOmPlEtElY oF sAnItY!!! èuô

I.Koi didn't know how to react when she touched his cheek.
.
I.Koi: So, What? You're crazy too? You have a sanity soul? Do you have voices too?

I.Koi: What? What do you want?

I.Koi squinted. Then he spoke,"That'll k!ll both of us. I can't do that. He'll gain sanity and then I'll die making him die because after all, he is over a 100 years old because of me. I keep him alive. Honestly, He's a dead man walking. He should've died at least 30 or so years ago. Haha, Alive but at the cost of sanity."

I.Koi: Of course he did!! He had the key to freeing me of my damned chains!!! I've had them on for years!! Half of the key was in his heart, the other in his soul. K!lling him was the only way! At least I apologized!

I.Koi: It's not my fault she died. It's not my fault he decided to have a family! ITS NOT MY FAULT HE DECIDED TO GO INSANE!!!

I.Koi freed himself from the wires and grabbed her. He put her up against the wall and growled. He shouted,"What do you hope to gain from this?! You won't change anything!!"

I.Koi: Exactly... *eyes rolled back* ThErE's NoT a SiNgLe ThInG yOu CaN dO tO sAvE hIm!!!! *laughs in her face*
.
Suddenly, Yuku comes storming down the stairs and roundhouse kicks I.Koi is the other side of the basement. She yells at him to stay away from Bernadette and to rot in the Basement. She takes Berna out of there.
.
Yuku cleaned up Bernadette's face and cleared her face of tears and the black liquid.

Yuku: I know.. I know, sweetie... *wipes her tears* We'll find some way to help him... Don't cry, sweetie... Everything will be ok in the end. *strokes her cheek*

Yuku: What do you mean, dear? What happened down there?

Yuku: What did you ask him? Maybe I can help.

Yuku: ...... All of this I know..... I've known Koi for years..... But, Maybe I can get him to talk, I know his weaknesses. Remember when we saved Koi from that asylum? Remember what I did with the frying pan? If I.Koi won't conversate, then v.iolence may have to be done.

Yuku: Oh! I have an idea!! Maybe instead of using the frying pan, We can use the music box you gave Koi to weaken him. Since Koi gains sanity from calming things! Plus! I'm sure I can have my friend make a potion that will allow Koi to live without his I

... without his insane soul!!

Yuku: You're welcome, dear. *hugs back* Now, Go find it! He might be asleep with his kids. So make sure to be quiet.

Koi was indeed asleep with his kids and he was holding them close to him. They looked so peaceful. The music box was on a desk in his room. It was playing its melody. Seems Koi was using it to go to sleep.

When she got back to Yuku, She had the frying pan and spoon ready. She looked at Bernadette.
.
Yuku: Oh! You got it! Great! I have the frying pan and spoon as plan B. Just to note: We're not trying to k!ll him, We're only gonna calm him down to answer our questions. While we're at it, We might as well calm him down enough to where he leaves Koi alone for a bit. Then we return the music box to him. Ok?Questions? Concerns?

Yuku: Ok! Let's go to him! Keep that music box winded up!
.
They started to head to the basement.

Sorry for the wait!

As they crept into the dark and unsettling basement. I.Koi was pacing around the room. When he heard the music box, he covered his ears and his shoulders tensed.
.
I.Koi: Y-You two again?! What's with th-that horrible sound?!
.
Yuku: It's the sound of calm! Now please! Answer our questions and we'll leave you be!
.
I.Koi: I already answered your questions!!!
.
Yuku: Barely.
.
I.Koi: ARRGH! OK! Fine!! What?!

I.Koi: ARG!! There's no fixing that!! He'd have to regain sanity to do that!!
.
Yuku: *writes it down* Hm.. Keep going, Berna.

I.Koi: If he regained as much as he had before, New chains, as for the key, I dunno. If he regained sanity fully, I'd die!! ARGHHH!!! AT LEAST TURN IT DOWN A BIT!!!
.
Yuku: NO!! >:(
.
I.Koi: UUUUGGGHHH.

Yuku: Alright, Got it. Anything else you need to ask him?

I.Koi stared at her when she said that. He just went back to the darkness and growled.
.
I.Koi: LEAVE!!!! NOW!!!!
.
Yuku: C'mon, Let's go.

Yuku: Hmm... So, I'm guessing the plan is to help Koi gain enough sanity to the point where he stops hearing voices.

Yuku: Ok, But, I think he should spent more time with you and his kids. You three make him the happiest. *smiles*

Yuku: Go on! Go to him! Make him happy, dear!

Sorry, I fell asleep

When she approached his room, his kids were running off to go play, leaving Koi chuckling and smiling.

Koi: Yeah... When they're happy, I am. *holds her close to him, rubs head on her* I love you all so very much. *kisses her* Thank you, for helping to save me. *smiles at her*

Koi: *smiles, chuckles, hugged her tightly* I can't explain my love for you... <3 I can't explain how thankful I am.... I'm speechless.. *rubs head on her again*

Koi: Well, I guess words aren't meant to be said then. *smiles, kisses her and holds the kiss* <3 <3

Koi kissed her more and blushed red. He put his hands on her waist.

Koi chuckled a bit at her laugh, he started to kiss her again lovingly.

Soon, He laid her on her back and started to make out with her

He stopped for a moment to breathe, while doing so he spoke, "Lemme know when you want me to stop...", then he kissed her more passionately as one hand was on her leg and the other was unzipping her dress.

(OOH MAN)

Koi took off his shirt and kissed her neck with extreme passion as he started to remove her dress. He blushed red and began to breathe heavily.

He stopped to breathe and she could feel his hot breath on her neck and he continued to kiss her neck as he removed her headband and moved his hand through her hair. He then continued to love her passionately till he was tired and then he held her close and cuddled her under the blankets.

He kissed her cheek and smiled a bit, then started to fall asleep with her in his arms.

(yeeaaaaah lol)

(xD)
.
They slept until it was time for dinner and Yuku knocked on the door and was saying,"Dinner's ready!!" from the other side. Koi woke from the knock and then gently woke Bernadette and he passed on the message. Then he got dressed.

He looked over and gladly went to her and zipped up her dress. "Here, Lemme comb your hair." , he said as he reached for a comb and started to comb through her hair. Soon he finished and they both went to go eat.

Koi held her hand and smiled at her then they went to sit down and everyone ate dinner.
.
After dinner, Koi asks her a question, "Do you wanna stay the night?"

Koi smiled. They both stayed up for a bit and then the two went to bed.

Koi smiled as he heard the soft medley of the music box play, he got in bed and pulled up the covers up to his face and closed his eyes.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep to the music box. A streak of brown hair then formed on his head as he drifted off to sleep.

Yuku was in the kitchen drinking some wine as she did sometimes late at night.

Yuku was startled at first but then turned around to see Berna.
"What is it "? What's wrong?", she asked.

Yuku: Oh... Well, Yeah. Seems you did... I wouldn't worry about it too much though. He should be fine.

Yuku: Hmm...I'm not sure it would be wise for Koi to have another sanity soul... I.Koi would just kill him again and if I.Koi is still trying to make Koi insane then if he gains too much sanity, I.Koi will take care of that.

Yuku: Don't. That's what I.Koi wants. We'll get through this and Koi will too if we're by his side. *hand on her shoulder*

Yuku: C'mon. We both need to get to bed.

(May or may not reply late. Just letting ya know!)

The next morning, Bernadette woke to see that Koi was not next to her. He was sitting on the floor in the corner with his knees close to him, He was facing the wall and was staring at it, wide eyed. He was banging his head against the wall. He was almost like a zombie.

It didn't change much, Koi stopped banging his head on the wall, but that's it. He continued to stare at the wall.

He rested his head on her and then he shifted his eyes to stare at her.

Koi then laid on the floor and held his knees close. Staring at the wall. Doing nothing.
A knock on the door was heard.

It was one of the servants, They had brought a tray full of food for breakfast, eggs, bacon, French toast and many other things.

The servant bows and nods and then leaves them be. When Berna comes back she finds Koi is under the bed. His eyes stil

His eyes still wide and now glowing in the dark under the bed. (The whites and reds of his eyes)

Koi stared at the music box and his pupils got really big. He snatched it and held it close to him. When he does this, Berna could see he was wearing a red jacket. He stared at it again and then his eyes closed half way.

(Koi is reminding me of a cat right now. XD)

(Kitty Koi. XD)
.
Soon Koi closed his eyes completely and leaned on her. Still saying nothing. Then he laid his head down almost hugging the music box. He was listening to the tune and the mechanical sounds coming from the inside of this calming device.

(Hope you had a good Christmas!!)

Koi stayed there for a good while, then he decides to come out from under the bed and eat breakfast. Looks like he's come back to reality. He sees the jacket he's wearing and just touches the fabric, it's dusty. It looked exactly like H.Koi's jacket. He took it off and folded it and then sat at his desk and made himself a plate of food. Then he spoke,"How long was I out?? All morning??"

(Thanks!)

He sighed gently and then continued to eat breakfast. Then he spoke again, "Its getting worse...", he said, "Soon I'll be out until noon, then afternoon, then evening, and then..... and then.....", he stopped and just continued to eat.

Koi: I hope so... *continued to eat* Hey.. You should eat too... There's plenty left on the tray.
.
(You wanna time warp a few days?)

As days pass, Koi gets worse and worse. As he described, he started "going out" and "coming back" later and later. And when he did "go out", he started doing weirder and weirder things until it just started to get just plain creepy. Yuku contacts a friend and she tells Berna that a potion to keep Koi alive is in progress and will take a week to make, until then, they must take care of Koi.
Yuku has also restricted Koi from seeing his kids for a while, It's not safe for them to see him.
.
One day, As Yuku is looking for Koi, She finds him at the end of a hallway, staring at her, smile twisted and sinister, not blinking, not moving, head twitching. Her heart beats fast and she makes a run for it out of the hallway and ends up running out the mansion and flying above it for awhile.

(Hey, Wanna trade friend codes? :3)

Yuku saw Bernadette and then floated down to her and sighed.
.
Yuku: I.. H-He.. ... He scared me.... It's never happened before... I-I..
.
(mine is 0216-1318-5244)

Yuku took a deep breath and then sighed.
.
Yuku: I-I was looking for him and then I-I found him in the hallway, a-at the end. Then he sm-smiled at me very eerily a-and... H-He just scared m-me... I-I don't wanna th-think he'll hurt me... ..... *hugs Bernadette for comfort*
.
(Ok!)

Yuku started to cry and then sob hysterically. She was really concerned for her friend. Soon, she calmed down a bit and thanked Bernadette as she sniffles her way to a lake to calm down.
.
Lauren comes out and sees Yuku leaving.
.
Lauren: What's going on??

Lauren: I-I'm not 5!! Give it to me straight!!! *tears up* What's going on with him?! ... Will he be ok??.... Berna... *tears fall*

Lauren: .... Let me go with you! I am NOT afraid of I.Koi. He just wants attention! Please!! Let me help my own father!! *tears in her eyes* Let me do this! I love him!

Lauren: Thank you so much!! *hugs her* I promise I will stay close, but if I have to I will punch and kick!

Koi was in the basement, growling and chewing on human bones. He eyes gone fully red. No whites or anything. His teeth turned razor sharp. His hair growing fast, long and wildly. He was being turned into an insane beast.
.
When they get to him, they see him and what he's become. Lauren did not like what she saw. She didn't like the fact that her father was being forced to have this canine behavior. She grit her teeth and clenched her fists. Trying to hold back. She is an angry, fierce ten year-old, ready to fight.

He stopped chewing on the bone and just started at her. He just kept staring.
.
Lauren frowned. She called out to him, "Daddy, if you're there, give us a sign!"
.
He only growled and started to sharpen his claws on the cobblestone floor. He wasn't there.
.
Lauren frowns even more and begins to look sad.

He held his head and screeched when he heard the music box. Half of him wanted to listen to it, the other half wanted to destroy it. He covered his ears and growled more fiercely.
.
This is when Lauren decided to take action. She went right up to her father with no hesitation. Her sad expression across her face. She went and hugged him and hummed along with the music box. He had stopped his whole tantrum. His eyes went wide as if he spaced out. Lauren kept humming until her father had finally hugged her with tears in his eyes. She gladly hugged back with tears as well. Koi was back... for now.

Soon they let go of each other.
.
Koi: Th-Thank you...Both of you...
.
Lauren: We're just glad to see you're ok...
.
Koi: *nods* Where's Yuku? I need to talk to her before I black out again... It's very urgent

They followed her upstairs and Jamie followed along. Koi picked Jamie up and held Lauren's hand as they followed Berna out the mansion and to Yuku who was still at the nearby lake.

Yuku turned her head to see them all. Koi went up to her and hugged her tightly. She hugged back with a worried expression on her face. Koi then whispered something to her. "As you wish...", she said.
.
Once everyone was back at the mansion, Koi followed Yuku to a closet that was near the basement. She pulls out a straight jacket and "The Cage". She puts them on Koi and then hugs him. He thanks her and then heads to the living room to watch his kids play. Once he arrives there, his kids hug him.

A few more days pass... It was a normal Sunday morning, until Yuku screamed in fear. For the entire staff had been chopped up and sliced and their faces distorted. Their body parts were strewn across the halls and the foyer. Yuku went and looked around and then she saw... HIM. Koi, dripping with blood, somehow free from his restraints, had killed them all. He grinned with a bloody, twisted smile.
.
He starts to chase after her, but Yuku threw a vase at him, one of the pieces of glass cuts his arms and this slows him down. She runs outside, it's raining.
.
Koi ran after her once again and followed her outside, using a black tentacle of darkness, he impaled Yuku through her stomach. She fell to the ground, bleeding.
.
Koi: Looks like it's raining... I read once that rain hurts vampires...Does it hurt? Does it feel like a thousand knives stabbing you?
.
Yuku: P-Please....don't....
.
Koi: It's pathetic, really. How vampires are so scary, yet they get hurt my falling liquid... But, hey, don't die on me now! Where's the fun in that?
.
Yuku: ...
.
Koi: Atleast survive the trip to the basement.
.
Yuku: ...!!!
.
Koi: *eye roll back* and then once you're in the basement... I can-
.
Angela came up behind Koi and knocked him out with a rock, to save her dear sister. She had an umbrella.
.
Angela: Sis!! I-I'll get you to mom and d-dad! Just st-stay calm, ok? Don't worry I have an umbrella!
.
Yuku: .... Th-Thank... you...

*by falling liquid

Yuku tried to talk but only let out a breath. She fainted.
.
Angela: C'mon, We need to get her to my parent's quick!
.
Koi: *looks up* Hhh....
.
Angela: *hisses at Koi aggressively*

(Did you add my friend code? :0)

(It's ok!)
.
Koi put his head back down and just laid there.
.
Angela started to carrying her sister to her parent's as fast as she could. Once she was there, Yuku was patched up by her parents, given some blood to drink and was put in a room to rest.

Koi laid on his back, looking at the sky with a blank expression on his face. Not knowing how to feel about what he did. His mind is blank. He feels lightheaded.

He looked up at her and then looked sad. He felt guilty. He started to cry. "I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry...." he muttered.

He curled up and hugged her waist, crying heavy tears. Almost screaming out of misery and pain. He looks pale almost completely white. He begins to cry blood.

Suddenly... He stops crying. He breathes in. He looks up a bit and grins a twisted smile. "pYsCh!!", he said, and then he paused and his face went expressionless and then he looked worried. "Wh-What am I saying?! No! I feel bad! I feel bad!!!", he held his head screaming this. Bernadette could clearly see that even if I.Koi is not there physically, he is still a parasite inside Koi's mind.
.
Koi got up and ran inside the mansion and ran into the basement. Isolating himself from everyone.

He had ripped off the broken straight jacket he was wearing and was shirtless. He held himself crying and crying. He wanted to cry tears but instead he cried blood. He wanted to end it all. He could barely breath. He heard the basement door open and looked in that direction. He looked at Berna and looked at her. How could someone like her love someone like him?

Koi got up and ran to her. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and didn't want to let go. "It's almost o-over, right? M-my pain and suffering... r-right??", he said desperately wanting this nightmare to be over. "Because I-I don't know how much longer I c-can last... I-I love you..."

Koi kissed her back and smiled. He rubbed his head on her and just kept that same smile on his face. Then he remembered something, "I-Is Yuku ok...? I guess I-I owe her and her family quite the apology... the servants too... everyone...", he said as he let out a small sigh.

Koi rested his head on her and sighed. Then there was a knock on the basement door. Koi looked up and then looked at Berna. "Wh-Who's that?" He asked.

Koi stayed put and watched her go up the stairs. When she opened the door, Angela was standing there with a blue liquid in a flask with a cork in it. "Yuku ordered this and she wanted me to get it for her. She said to give it to you.", she said as she handed it to Bernadette.

Angela bowed a bit and then left to check on her sis.
.
Koi looked at the flask Bernadette was holding and then looked at her. "is that it? Is it all o-over?" He said with hope in his heart.

Koi looked at the flask then at her. "Yes.", he said as he nodded and sighed tiredly. "but... I think it would be wise to drink it when I'm sane.... I guess what I'm saying is that I need my old hair back... my long, brown hair..", he said as he closed his eyes and began to look tired. Almost as if he was going through memories.

Koi pointed at the flask and said,"Well, That's what this is for, isn't it? To keep me alive? ... I just...", he paused and grabbed her by the shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, his eyes were filled with pain, suffering and fear. "I don't want to empower him more than he already is... He's already keeping me alive, imagine if I couldn't die if I lost sanity and he was still in my head. He wouldn't have a reason to fear me dying. He'd live... forever... in my head... and I wouldn't.. be able... TO DIE. I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO END MY HORRID EXISTENCE.", he said as tears flooded his eyes and smile full of pain stretched across his face. He began to breathe quickly and heavy.

*if I lost Insanity

(That's ok. XD)
.
Koi held her hands to his head. He looked at her tiredly. He whispered with a shaky voice. "Th-Thank you..", he said as he closed his eyes, "I love you a-all..". He leaned on her. Resting his head on her shoulder. He just wanted a good sleep right now. The bags under his eyes seemed to grow bigger with every minute.

Koi leaned on her and walked up the basement stairs with her. Once they made it to his room, Koi went ahead and rolled into bed. He got under the covers and made sure to make himself comfortable. He smiled and thanked Bernadette, he then politely asked her to come close to him.

Koi hold her hand close to him. He smiles. "When all of this is over... I'm getting a haircut and then I'm taking you on a date.." he said happily but tiredly. "I just want to thank you... for dealing with me and my nonsense. "

Koi smiles, and then he asks her, "Do you mind laying next to me?"

(Sorry for the late reply. This week has been really busy.)
.
He held her close and cuddled her. Soon, he started to drift off to sleep.

Hours later when Koi woke up, he could barely breath. His hair started to go from brown and gray streaks and faded to white at the ends. He could barely move and everything looked blurry.
.
Soon his kids ran in. At first they were freaking out because Lauren's hair turned brown and Jamie's eyes turned blue, but then they saw the state their father was in and freaked out even more. Lauren grabbed the potion that was on the desk and opened it carefully. She helped her father drink it. Jamie watched as he worried out of his mind.

After he drank the potion, Lauren rested his head back onto his pillow and held the empty flask tightly. Soon Koi started to look better, his hair was a gorgeous brown and he looked healthier. Not dying. Once he was finally ok, He hugged his kids tightly. All three with happy tears in their eyes, then he pulled Bernadette into the hug and kissed her.

Koi: Now I just need a haircut. :p
.
Lauren and Jamie: *giggle a bit*
.
Yuku: *walks in, has bandages around her stomach* Angie's got it covered.
.
Koi: Hey! You're ok! I'm so sorry!
.
Yuku: It's alright, Koi. Really.... you look good. *smiles*
.
Koi: Thanks. ^ ^
.
Yuku: Your kids do too. ^ ^
.
Angela: Did someone need a haircut?
.
Koi: Me!
.
Angela: Ok, Come with me!
.
Koi went off with Angela and Yuku to get his hair cut. Meanwhile, Lauren and Jamie, Tell Bernadette about how Lauren's hair turned brown and Jamie's eyes turned blue.

(I don't think i mentioned that Koi's eyes also turned blue.)

Lauren: *smiles*
.
Jamie: *hugs her*
.
Lauren: *hugs her too* <3
.
Soon Koi came back with his hair at his normal length and he saw them hugging each other. Of course he joined in. As they all hugged, Koi noticed some black streaks in Jamie's hair and then noticed Lauren's brown hair. He was surprised.

Soon it was getting dark and it was close to dinner time. Yuku was still kinda weak so Angela made dinner instead. Then everyone went to go eat.

As she was thinking, Koi kissed her cheek and smiled at her, then he started chuckling. He seemed more awake, and relaxed. Whatever it was, something was clearly different about his personality, something good.
.
After dinner, Koi asked her if she was staying the night or if she was heading back to her home.

Koi smiled and then picked her up and spun her around happily as she was the main reason all this wonderful stuff happened. Then he remembered something.
.
Koi: Hey... Where are your favorite places to go?

He smiled, "How about we go on a date tomorrow then? My treat as a thank you for all you've done for me and my family." He said smiling and blushing.

Koi smiled more. "And if you want to, Only if you want, I can have Yuku take you dress shopping." He offered her.

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind.", he said. "Now, how about we go tuck those kids in bed, hm? Haven't been able to do that for a while."

They both head to the kids and Koi tucks them in. They are so happy to see he's alright finally. He kisses both of their heads and then gets ready for bed himself.

Koi picked her up and carried her off to bed and soon everyone was asleep.

When she woke, She found that Koi was not in bed, but she did smell something delicious.

She had followed the smell to the kitchen. Yuku and Koi were making breakfast for everyone. When Yuku saw her walk in, she said, "Good morning, dear!", with a big smile on her face. Koi turned his head to see her and smiled.

"Smells like that every morning!", Yuku said happily and chuckling. Koi looked at her and said, "I was gonna bring you breakfast-in-bed. Oh, well, at least you're here now.", he said happily.
.
Just then Bernadette felt something behind her grab onto her dress.

It turned out to be Jamie, who was still in his pj's and was holding his teddy bear in one hand. He yawned and reached upto Bernadette. He wanted to be picked up.

Jamie smiled and then mumbled out, "Good Morning, Berna.", with a small stretch afterwards. He then saw his father and said, "Hi, daddy." Koi smiled and said hi back. Yuku went and set up the dining room table. Breakfast was just about done.

Soon the food was put on the table and Yuku went to wake people up. Bernadette could see that the dining room was huge and the table was almost just as big. The servants helped put food and drinks on the table. Soon many people began to sit at the table including Lauren who sat next to Berna, still in her light pink night gown. Soon enough. Everyone was seated and they began to eat.

Jamie woke up a bit to eat. He clinged on to Berna and rested his head on her shoulder. Once everyone was done. Yuku and some other people, including the servants helped clean up. Jamie smiled and still was in Berna'a arms. He had yawned and mumbled, "thanks... mom...oh, I-I mean.. th-thank you, Berna."

He became a bit more awake for the conversation. He rose his head. "Really? W-Well, I-I'm gonna keep c-calling you Berna. C-Calling you 'mom' j-just.... brings back m-memories." He said as he rested his head back down on Berna's shoulder.

Jamie yawned once more. "Do you mind tucking me in? I think I need a nap..." he said tiredly, almost half asleep.

Jamie smiled and held the blankets close. He soon drifted to sleep.
After Bernadette tucked him in, Yuku went up to her.

"Hey, You ready to go dress shopping?", she asked while smiling.

"Ok. Let's go then.", she said with a smile.
Soon Yuku and Bernadette went to a few dress shops in town. Yuku helped Bernadette choose her dresses.

Yuku was looking at some dresses too and when Bernadette asked the question, she looked up to see what she was looking at. Then she saw the lingere and she didn't know how to explain it exactly.
.
"Uh... Hm... The only way I can describe it is... It's something women wear under thier clothes and I guess at night too sometimes.", Yuku said, not knowing how to fully answer the question.
.
(XD oh my glob)

"Well, How about we buy you a night gown? It's like a dress you wear to bed!", Yuku replied.

"Sure, dear!", she agreed and went ahead to get Bernadette a night gown in her size. "This ok?", she said as she showed Bernadette.

(Sorry I've been busy)
.
Yuku smiled at Bernadette's reaction. "Alright then. So, Are we done shopping? Or would you like other things? Like shoes or accessories?" She asked curiously.

Yuku nodded. "Ok then. Now, Let's buy this stuff and get you ready for that date!", she said excitedly.
.
Yuku bought the clothes and then they both headed back to the mansion. There Yuku helped Bernadette get ready for her date.

Yuku smiled. "No problem, dear. I don't mind doing this for you.", she said happily. "Oh, Do you want makeup?", she asked.

Yuku then nodded and got out some makeup and then started applying some onto Bernadette. When she was finished, she put a full body mirror on Bernadette so she could get a full view of how she looked. "You look gorgeous, darling!", Yuku said while giving a big smile.

And then she followed up with a joke, "I guess you could say... you're all DOLLED up.", she said while chuckling.

Yuku was still chuckling at her own joke. "C'mon, Lets get you over to Koi.", she said with a smile that was beaming.
.
Yuku took Bernadette out the room and they went to find Koi.
.
(How would you describe the way Berna looks right now? Like how the dress looks and all that? Just for imagination purposes.)

(Ah, ok. Thaaaanks. :3)
.
Once they found Koi, who was sitting in the garden, they saw that he had his hair in a low loose bun and he was wearing a navy blue button up with sleeves folded up and regular black jeans and regular black shoes.
.
Yuku got his attention and he looked over to see Bernadette and how she was all dressed up. He blushed quite a lot and blinked a bit as he was speechless for a moment. Then he finally spoke,"W-Well, you two went all out, didn't you?", he said smiling and with a red face.

Yuku smiled and then said,"I'll leave you two alone. Have a good night! ^ ^", she then left them alone.
.
Koi watched her leave and then went up to Bernadette. He hugged her tightly and then said,"Ready to go?"

He took her hand and took her to a huge and beautiful public garden. There they saw plants from around the world. Koi held her hand firmly and kept smiling at her. Hoping she was having a good time.

Koi smiled at her excitement and held her hand firmly. Then he said, "If you want, You can go ahead and explore the garden on your own. I'll stay close.", he smiled kindly at her.

He smiled and blushed. "Alright then.", he held her hand firmly and went exploring through the garden with Bernadette.

Koi smiled and kissed her head. Then he looked at her a bit seriously. "Bernadette... there's something very important I need to ask you...", he said. He had a hand behind his back.

Koi looked at her, he began to kneel, while doing so he held one of her hands with both of his, Bernadette could feel something being placed in her palm.
.
Koi looked up at her and asked,"Bernadette... Will you marry me?", he then revealed what he had put in her hand, it was a white box with a silver ring with a beautiful dark cyan diamond on it. Koi looked at her as he awaited her answer.

Koi smiled big and hugged her tightly, he then slipped the ring onto her ring finger and kissed her happily. Smiling as big as he could. He just held her close and kept her in his arms, stroking her hair.

Soon, Koi took her to her home as she hadn't been there in awhile and he decided to stay for a bit.

"I figured you hadn't been here in a while and I thought it was time for you to go home. I'm sorry for dragging you away for so long.", he said feeling kind of bad.

(Ash?)

Koi smiled back as he looked at her. "You know just what to say...", he responded. "If you don't mind, I could bring the kids tomorrow here and we could have.. I guess a little party. We could tell them the news then.", he said with a big smile.

"Well, I don't see why they wouldn't like the news. They love you and I'm pretty sure Jamie called you mom once before.", He reassured her. "I have no doubt that they'll be upset about the news. They've loved you up to this point, why change feelings now?"

"We'll see how they react tomorrow. For now, You should get some rest. It's getting late.", he held her hand and kissed it. "The sweetest of dreams for you tonight."

Koi smiled at her and then softly said good night to Bernadette, and then he soon headed home with the biggest smile on his face. He slept easy that night. No nightmares, voices, not even one single hallucination. He had only sweet dreams. What he dreamt of was his secret.

(Sorry for the late reply)

The next day, Koi and his kids got ready to leave for Bernadette's home. They were excited to go!
.
Once they arrived, Koi knocked on the door. They all awaited Berna's response

Lauren and Jamie hugged her as they walked in, with big smiles, and Koi gave her a big welcome kiss.
.
Once inside Jamie was looking around Bernadette's home with delight and Lauren as well, looking at the dolls and music boxes Berna had made.

"You're fine, dear. After all, this is quite a big place to clean.", he joked lightly.
.
"It's huuuuuuge in here!", Jaime said excitedly.
.
"Just as I remember it.", Lauren said happily.

The children sat at the table and served themselves some tea and biscuits. Jamie ate mostly biscuits though. They thanked her for the food. Koi did as well.
.
He took a sip of the tea he poured and then whispered to Bernadette, "Should we tell them now?"

Koi smiled and nodded. He turned his head to face his kids.
"Kids, We have something very important to tell you.", he said.
.
"What is it?", asked Lauren.
.
"Well... Yesterday, I proposed to Bernadette, which means that we will be getting married soon.", he said while smiling.
.
"Really?!", Lauren yelped excitedly.
.
"Yay!", Jamie shouted happily.
.
Koi smiled as his kids were ecstatic about the news.

"Why would you think that? We both love you and we'd be happy to call you step-mom.", Lauren said happily.
.
"oh, I was just gonna keep calling her Berna!", Jamie said.
.
"That's fine too.", Koi said with a smile.
.
"Do you guys need help planning the wedding? I wanna help!", Lauren said as she offered her help.

Koi could tell something unpleasant appeared in her mind. No, he felt it. Because this has happened to him many, many times before. Lauren could tell a little bit too. Jamie didn't at all.
.
"Um... Well, that's good! Those dresses can be really, really expensive!", Lauren said with a hint of awkwardness.
.
"I like being the flower boy! It's fun!", Jamie said happily, not aware of anything.

"Yay! I wanna wear a flower crown too!", Jamie said happily.
.
Koi just looked over at Bernadette and then he placed a hand on her back and spoke, "Will you two exscuse us for a moment?", he said to his kids, then he took Bernadette outside to talk with her.

Once outside, Koi had faced her. "What's wrong?", he asked worryingly.

"It's true you hit your head twice, but it sure doesn't seem like nothing. I don't mean to be mosey, but what did you remember that made you so uneasy? Maybe I can help ease your mind as you did for me.", Koi asked worryingly. He was legitimately concerned and wanted to help her. After all she did save his life.

*nosey

"Oh, I see.... Then I guess it's nothing to worry about.", Koi said relieved. "C'mon, let's go back inside." He kissed her cheek and then took her inside.

Koi didn't suspect anything and they continued their little party.
.
"Is everything alright?", Lauren asked.
.
"Everything is fine, Lauren.", Koi reassured.
.
"Ok, good. Now we can plan this wedding!"
.
Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.
.
"Who's that?", said Jamie.

She opened the door and there was Yuku! She had a parasol and a notebook with a pen.
.
"Sorry I'm late!", she said, "I heard you were planning a wedding and well, I'm here to help.", she explained.
.
"Oh, right! I had almost forgotten that I invited her over too", Koi said. "She's actually really good at planning these kinds of events."

Yuku came on in and set her things down and then closed her parasol. She had a seat and served herself some tea, then opened her notebook and began writing.
.
"So, You guys have any idea of where you want this wedding to be?", she said with a smile.
.
"It could be in one of those public gardens! Those are always pretty! Maybe an oriental one!", Lauren suggested.
.
"That sounds lovely! What do you think, Bernadette?", Koi asked.

(Do you wanna Rp all the details or skip ahead?)
.
"Ok, I'll write that down for the location!", Yuku said. "Speaking of gardens, what kind of flowers would you like to have?"
.
"Orchids?", asked Koi.

(It's ok. I understand. ^ ^ Everyone gets busy now and then. Btw, which one did you mean? That you wanted to skip ahead?)
.
"I'll make sure that some Lantanas will be at the wedding.", Yuku said with a smile as she wrote it down. "Now.. How about colors?"
.
"Well, I like all of them. It's kinda hard to choose.", Koi said as he pondered.

(OK. I just wanted to make sure. :3)
.
"Well, Maybe blue? It's a soothing color! Maybe some gold too!", Yuku suggested.
.
"That sounds nice.", Koi said happily.
.
Yuku continued to help the couple plan their wedding and smiled the whole time as she saw how happy they were.

Once everything was all set, Yuku made sure to go over everything and make sure they didn't miss anything. Afterwards she wished the couple a happy marriage and said her goodbyes.
.
"This wedding is gonna be wonderful! I'm so excited!", shouted Lauren.
.
"Indeed it will be.", said Koi.
.
"Group hug?", asked Jamie in his most adorable voice.

The three went and hugged Bernadette without hesitation. All smiling excited for the future. Koi kissed her and rested his head on her. Jamie hugged her legs and Lauren came in on the left and hugged Berna's side.

As soon as everyone was about to release, Koi playfully shouts out to his kids, "Get her!" and then began to tickle Bernadette and the kids joined in shortly after. All smiling and laughing together.

Lauren and Jamie laugh a lot and let Bernadette tickle them. Koi helped Bernadette tickle them as they rolled on the floor. He couldn't stop laughing himself.

The kids needed to catch their breath too. They too were still laughing. Koi smiled and chuckled at the three. He went ahead and got them all some water to calm down from laughing so much.
.
Soon it was getting a bit late and Koi needed to take the kids home, but before that he went up to Bernadette and asked,"May I come back and stay the night?"

Koi smiled."Ok I'll be back.", he said as he kissed her cheek.
.
He took his kids home and then came backs with some clothes to stay the night.

"Oh, Thank you, love.", he said with a smile. He watches her put everything away and smiles. He goes up to her and hugs her from behind. Resting his head on her shoulder.

Koi smiled as he felt her hand in his hair and her soft lips when they kissed. He grabbed one of her hands and spun around as if they were ball room dancing. He put one hand on her waist and the other held her hand. He smiled and said, "Wanna dance?"

*spun her
