Lulu Shadowstrike Lulu watched as she opened the box and pulled out a small necklace, the silver dagger pendant beautiful engraved with the design of her old tattoo. "We found some pictures of you with the tattoo and Trouble put them together so we could get it engraved onto the case, but we also had them engrave yours and Erin's names on it too." She said, her ears tilted back slightly from nerves. She didn't know if it had been a good idea for them to have the tattoo on the case, but it seemed right. When she felt Ash walk over and hug them, thanking both of them, she added, "That's also a T-blade. Here's the catch to release it. Loki and I figured that you should have one, just in case." She said and poked her twin with her tail playfully, suddenly feeling Lokita pounce on it and bite at it. She turned and swatted at her too many times to count in the blink of an eye and hissed, but the younger neko only sneezed and shook her head, which made Lulu giggle and n** her neck as she hugged her and whispered, "I love you Lokita." {What makes you think I won't kill you? I don't care about me, but if you want her, you die. Yeah, that's right Socky. They die.}

Dukes Graham Dukes stepped out of the limo and looked back at Chibi, smiling at him as they both stepped into the parking lot in their were forms. Chibi had gotten a text from Harmony yesterday, and Chibi had begged him to go. It was getting hard for those two to be apart. When he was around her, he suddenly slipped back into the old Chibi and he was slowly becoming a doting father figure to her. Lizzy had warmed up to him, slowly but surely after the first time he had met her and cracked that comment about the threesome. Harmony liked the werehyena, think of him as the father she never had. "Let's go man. We should tell Liz and Harmony about my corination too, see if they want to be a part of it." Dukes said to his friend as he climbed out of the vehicle. "You got the gift for Ash, right?"{I know I could kill you right now, but I might miss the beat for this song. Sorry dude.}

Chibi Tamoniko Chibi smiled at him and lifted the boxes with a grin. "Yes Sire. I have all five of them. Really, did we need to buy ALL of them? I don't think that she will need all of them Sire. It seems like over kill to me." He said gently. Chibi was excited to be here, he could see Harmony again and give her the gift he had gotten for her, as well as the one from Lizzy. He had found a rare piece of royal Angelic jewelery, it had cost him quite a bit, but it was certainly a piece that had belonged to her parents. He had been more than willing to trade his teeth to get it for her. For Harmony, he had gotten a small Dragon claw filled with pure oxidized crystals. He carried the stack of gifts and thanked Dukes as he walked into the building, yelling out loudly, "Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas! Wait, bit late for that, huh?" He said then erupted into his trademark stuttering laugh. {What?! you think I'm crazy?! Oh wait, I am... Huh.}

Harmony Nichole Ariake They don't understand us... Harmony heard the wild laughter and suddenly beamed at the two men walking in. She laughed and ran to the one holding the mountain of gifts, Dukes quickly taking them as she lept into his arms and laughed like a small child, and Chibi spun her around. "Chibi! I was hoping you would come! I'm so glad too! Come on, I want to introduce you to everyone else Dad!" She said and dragged the laughing werehyena along behind her. She stopped and smiled at the large group of people, saying to them all, "Guys, this is Chibi. Obviously he's a werehyena. That one is Dukes, and he's gonna be the King of the weretigers one day!" She looked up at the man once more. "So, Dad, this is my family."...And I guess they never will.

Chibi TamonikoChibi smiled when she pulled him, not missing her calling him 'Dad'. He felt tears p***k at his eye and laughed, not wanting anyone to see his cry, no matter if it was from joy or not. Wehn she introduced him at first, he smiled and waved to everyone, giving the woman that was scented like Master Tayashi of the Demon underworld a very respectful bow, but then he saw her look up to him once more and smile at him as she called him her dad once more. Chibi couldn't hide it anymore, he started to cry and hugged her gently, feeling like he had his family once agian. "And I won't let you down as a father, okay hun? I will go to the ends of the Afterworld to find you if I had to." He whispered to her, not even seeing Lizzy standing next to them. {What?! You think I'm crazy?! Oh wait, I am... Huh.}

 Elizabeth Greene "I know that a life without love..." Lizzy smiled as she watched the sweet moment between Harmony and Chibi. Her opinion of the werehyena had improved greatly since their first meeting. She was very glad that Harmony had someone as sweet as Chibi looking after her in a fatherly way. Lizzy often missed her own 'daddy', even though he hadn't really been her father, and Chibi reminded her of him somewhat. She smiled over at Dukes and waved slightly. "How's it going, Dukes? Almost ready to get that crown of yours?" "...is no life at all."

Dukes Graham Dukes smiled at her and nodded. "Yeah, I am. In fact, the corination is in four days. I wanted to know if you and Harmony wanted to be in it. Like actually in the corination with us. You would both be next to Chibi, but you wouldn't be needed to swear me any oaths. But it would honor me to have the two of you there." He offered her kindly. Dukes had grown fond of the couple, their strong compassion and loving fire had made him a bit stronger, and had given him much more courage. It wouldn't be right for them to not be in the coriantion. {I know I could kill you right now, but I might miss the beat for this song. Sorry dude.}

Elizabeth Greene "I know that a life without love..." Lizzy smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely. We'd be honored to be in it, Dukes." She glanced at Harmony to make sure she hadn't spoken too soon. Lizzy knew they didn't have any plans, so why not? Especially if it would make Dukes and Chibi happy to have them there. Lizzy became distracted by the packages in Duke's arms. "Wow. Did you think there was more than one birthday today, dude?" she giggled. "...is no life at all."

Chibi TamonikoChibi pulled away from Harmony to grab the two smaller gifts from the large stack. He smiled and chucked, the sound stuttering slightly as he held one gift to tone then switched it with the other gift, then swtiched it back until Harmony laughed and slapped his shoulder playfully and he handed the lavender wrapped gift to Harmony and the cerulean wrapped one to Lizzy. "No need to hold back ladies, tell me what you think? Do you like 'em? I really wanted to get you both something you might really like." He told them, his voice slightly nervous. It had been years since he had gotten anyone gifts, and he wasn't sure if he had done it right. {What?! You think I'm crazy?! Oh wait, I am... Huh.}

Harmony Nichole AriakeThey don't understand us... Harmony laughed as she tore open her gift, her eyes wide in surprise at the Dragon's talon pendant that was inside. When she touched it, it glowed softly and gave off a soft lavender light from the oxidized crystals inside of it. She smiled at Chibi and put it on, the glow fading when her fingers left the talon. "Thanks Dad, it's beautiful. I'll never take it off." She told him and hugged him tightly. ..And perhaps they never will.

Elizabeth Greene "I know that a life without love..." Lizzy opened the present carefully, folding the paper to save it because it was her favorite color. She opened the box and gasped, hands trembling as a memory rushed back to her at the sight of the gift.
-Lilia was getting ready for a party, letting Ari help her put on her jewelry. "Wear this one, mommy! This one!" squeaked Ari, giggling and holding up a solid gold bracelet.
Lilia smiled and kissed Ari's forehead softly. "Good choice, baby girl. Aw, who's my girl?"
"Me! Me!" shrieked Ari happily, clinging to her mother and giggling as Lilia hugged her.-
Lizzy felt tears pouring down her face. She had seen memories of her real parents from Erin's point of view, but had never experienced one herself. It was shockingly strong, and emotionally overpowering. She lifted the bracelet out of the box, holding it as if it were the most precious thing in the world. "Mom's... Mom's bracelet..." she whispered, unable to stop the tears. She vaguely heard Erin gasp from across the room. "...is no life at all."

Chibi TamonikoChibi watched as Lizzy cried, and his throat tightened in worry. He stooped down and looked at her in painc. "Liz, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would upset you. I'm so sorry if you don't want it. I'm sorry, I should have asked. I just thought that you might want something and I looked all over for someone who had something of theirs. I'm sorry Liz, please don't eat my liver..." He said in a mad rush, worried about her being hurt by him trying to be thoughtful. {What?! You think I'm crazy?! Oh wait, I am... Huh.}

Elizabeth Greene "I know that a life without love..." Lizzy let out a noise somewhere between a laugh and a sob, turning to embrace Chibi tightly, still clutching the bracelet. "No, Chibi. It's perfect. It's the most perfect gift anyone's ever given me. Thank you so much. I thought I'd never see anything of theirs ever again... Thank you..." Embarrassed at having cried so much, she brushed the sides of her face against her shoulders to get rid of the tears. "...is no life at all."

 Erin Joyce Lee "They tell me that love is wonderful..." Erin had seen the bracelet when Lizzy lifted it from the box, and gotten the same flashback. Tears pricked her eyes, threatening to spill over, but she controlled them carefully. One crying girl was plenty for this party. She smiled, glad Lizzy had something of their parents' now. 'Whoever this Chibi dude is, he's awesome... I've been looking for their stuff for years, and was never able to track anything down, let alone buy it...' "...but how can something so painful be wonderful?"

Chibi TamonikoWhen Lizzy hugged him, he felt a huge wave of relief wash through him. He gently held her, smiling softly. "I found most of their property in my search for that bracelet. I will get it all back for the two of you. No child should be without something of their parents. Trust me Liz, I will do all I can for you as well. You and Harmony are like my family now, and I will do anything to see the two of you safe and happy." He told her gently as he stroked her hair. {What?! You think I'm crazy?! Oh wait, I am... Huh.}
