[Enter]

Its been a long time since she was last home. Of course no matter how long ago, this place never truly feels like hers. Its her father's. He build it himself back when he was first settling in within Yuki no Kuni. Now everything feels distant.

Its lonely within these walls. Kahimi was at her most vulnerable here. A place where she could truly hide and escape the world around her? That's both heaven and hell wrapped up in a neatly decorated box. However the box winds up on its own time, and you truly never get to know what's going to be inside. She's become numb to the silence a long time ago. At least whenever Juniper or Ortlinde aren't here. Which nowadays is quite often. She can't remember the last time she has seen those two. Which makes her feel worried in the deepest part of her heart. Worried of...whats going on and why she isn't apart of it anymore. Where has all the time gone? And why...why do they mean so much to her? Would they even recognize her after E-Day?

Kahimi couldn't help, but be in her own head again but she violently shook the ideas away. Then winced in pain as she was given a headache from shaking her head so hard. This human body is absolutely atrocious... She doesn't understand how fleshies deal with it.

With a heavy sigh, she'd slowly let her formal robes slide off of her body and land within her awaiting hands. Lazily tossing it on to the coat rack that carries only her father's old heavy coats. Kahimi couldn't bring herself to put them anywhere else. So they stay there to haunt her still. With slow, dreaded steps she'd walk her way over to her bathroom. Opening up the cabinet so she could take her medication. She's been needing them ever since she got a fleshy body to suppress her...episodes. She misses when depression was the only mental illness she had...

After downing the pills, she'd take herself to her room to undress. Running hot bath water in hopes of making getting some good use out of her more clear sense of feeling. However just before leaving to go do so, she would have a moment of finding a safe place for the Tsuchikage's enchanted kunai knife. Gently caressing its feature with a sense of...familiarity. She still remembers the day she got it. Lately she has been holding on to it as a good luck charm. It hasn't been working, but she still has faith. And so for now she'd tuck the kunai into bed. Letting it lay on her soft mattress with the blank only covering half of it. Then would head off to try to enjoy her hot bubble bath.

The bubbles remind Kahimi of her adopted daughter in the best of ways...

[Titan of Stone]

A brief violet light colored the bedroom as Krystal appeared in a bedroom glancing around but the familiar scent of one of her girls filled her sense then the sound of water as well leading her to glance towards the source and with a faint pulse Krystal felt the soul of said bean inside. Giggling to herself she bit her lip looking around for a while looking through Kahimi's things while she floated drawing her hair back to a normal ass-length rather than filling half the air in the room.

Once her curiosity was satisfied she noticed the glint of metal from the kunai tucked on the bed making her smile before picking it up and sliding into bed to replace it, with a twirl of her finger she lodged it into the headboard, less hesitant about making noise now that she was in her puppy's bed.

[Claws of the Tundra]

Time ceased once Kahimi submerged herself within in the shallow depths of her bathtub. The heated, bubbly water mixed with a plentiful supply of steam gave her a momentary sense peace. She was far too distracted to really notice any stray noises. Convenient in more ways than one in this scenario. For the sake of her sanity, she'd be left under the reasonable idea that she was alone within her own home.

Safe from any troubles and distractions from the outside world; or so she'd like to think. Kahimi quietly soaked in that bath for a considerable amount of time. Detoxing her mind, from the weight of stress, and frustrations. Once she felt somewhat clear, she'd finally release herself from the addictive grip of aquatic comfort. Quietly watching the water all drain away afterwards.

Kahimi would then spend the next few minutes, drying off as much as possible. Taking extra care of getting her extremely long hair, much less drenched than she'd like it to be. Taking the next free moment to stare at herself in the mirror after she was done. Hoping to be able to smile, but she couldn't be bothered to do so. With nothing else available to distract her she'd wrap herself in a soft & long towel, then make her way back towards her bedroom. The floor beneath her, making hardly any noises as her feet softly pressed against the surface with each step. Her strides at least no longer looked exhausted now.

However the young Yukikage would be in for surprise once she stepped into the bedroom. Her entire body came to an abrupt halt halfway through the door once she notice the intruder. Her heterochromatic eyes, sharply training on the distinct and obvious lump underneath the blanket. A very conflicting mix of emotions now running through her entire being.

She wasn't entirely certain what was the more correct reaction to have. Happy yet angry? Confused yet unsurprised? Excited yet...sad. It was a lot. And yet...as...predictable as it is, the more she realizes its not some hallucination. The more she isn't surprised that its real. Its very like Krystal to just pop up within her own home. This woman's timing is always spot on for...unique moments. And most notable of all...its been a very long time since they have last seen each other...

In the end she could only enter the room, and then slowly close the door. "I assume you got my letter?" she'd say softly.

[Titan of Stone]

"I did, I hoped if you wanted to talk you'd use the direct way~ So what does it say?" The neko inquired sliding the letter over while playing with her rose her ears perking up while glancing over to her lover. Something seemed different, smelled different. Idly the mocha cat turned toward her and patted the bed wanting her to come closer.

"Something is different isn't it?" She asked softly, oddly mellowed out a fair bit compared to what Kahimi remembered of her fellow kage but that may be low energy due to boredom. Still her gold eyes followed the white-haired pup before she reached up to gently tug the towel off her gaze still searching.

[Claws of the Tundra]

Kahimi stood in relatively the same spot, as she listened to Krystal speak. The flirtatious cadences, and demeanor of course was familiar to her. At least when they popped up accordingly. The young Inuzuka couldn't really fathom an initial response when Krystal had asked her what the letter says though. Her face would spell the disbelief out on its own instead. To suddenly now realize that she forgot the Tsuchikage for some reason cannot read is quite the shock. "If you couldn't-...then why did you?-..." she stammered trying to piece a response together.

She was failing to comprehend, so she left it all alone. "It doesn't matter now. You are already here." she'd say while gently putting her letter away. Now opting to focus on more pleasant things like Krystal being here to keep her company instead. Though Krystal's sudden question made her look at her in a concerned manner. The phrasing flying over her head at first, until it dawned on her.

She never told her about the changes...

Kahimi would now noticeably become more insecure, and reserved. At least much more timidly. Almost like she was embarrassed ...no...scared. She didn't want to tell the truth. She wanted a good lie to tell...but...she couldn't. Once again the Yukikage would be speechless. And then too late to pull out of Krystal's reach as they began to tug at her towel. "stop..." she'd mutter as she grabbed at Krystal's hand to stop her. However even that would be enough to feel the differences.  Her pulse being subtle enough to be felt through her hand.

Kahimi was no longer an elemental. Her "humannoid" body now much more real and physical in everyway. From a glance one could skip over this. However with anyone that knew Kahimi before the shift...they'd know she used to be a being of living winds. And now? Now her body was truly human and fleshy. Heart and all.

Being revealed to Krystal like this put Kahimi on a very anxiety driven edge. Making her face become bright red, as her breathing became shaky. Her heartrate steadily rising as well. On the verge of a mental breakdown the Yukikage couldn't hold it all in anymore. So instead she just gave up.

Leaning forward and hiding her face against Krystal's chest as she shred very real tears. Unable to cope with what was going on. She just wanted to feel sane. And more importantly feel safe enough to be herself again. To have meaning. "I'm sorry Krystal. I should have told you. I've just...I've been so confused & lost since it happened..." she'd say through her quivering voice. Trying to pull herself together, but also too broken to want nothing other than someone's comfort. Krystal's comfort. So she'd just sit there. Leaning into her, entirely desperate for closure. For love. For anything to make her feel sane.

[Titan of Stone]

As her hand was caught her eyes narrowed feeling the difference however before she grabbed the towel by force as a handhold to throw the imposter she was shocked as the insecure young woman fell into her making her blink softly before slowly hugging her gently sliding the towel away and lifting the Yukikage into her lap gently pulling her against the neko her eyes glinting softly as she smelled the Tsuchikage's sweet warm aura as her pheromones work into her.

"You're warm, its okay." She giggles and smiles stroking her hair before softly kissing her and laying Kahimi down gently touching her curves while holding her firmly beneath the amazon lovingly comfortingly.

After their trist Krystal spoons her pup tracing her sides gently nuzzling her neck and keeping her close possessively she wasn't sure if it would work but she would be Kahimi's rock no matter what.

[Claws of the Tundra]

Vulnerable and disheveled, Kahimi did what she could to keep from being an utter mess. The weight of everything prior to now, that has been on her mind came crashing down on her. She really isn't a fan of being emotional in front of people. But in this case she can't help it. The spaces in which she could vent safely were getting thinner by the day.

So with the unexpected, but welcome moment with Krystal now moving forward. She allowed herself to, just let herself be open and transparent. At least as much as she could possibly be. Whatever helped her get somewhere. The Tsuchikage's presence was still comforting and guiding enough to keep her balanced while in a weak and pathetic state. Sometimes its irritating to Kahimi how happily carefree Krystal can be most of the time. But...it does help in ways most don't understand. Not even herself really. But still...its appreciated.

The Yukikage, held on to the Tsuchikage gently. Not fighting back even once. Just giving in to whatever love that was being presented to her. Acknowledging her lover as best as she could. Simply tired of being alone and angry all the time. Alone and broken. She wanted to be fixed, and loved.

-Fade to black-

As time passed. Kahimi would lay in bed, ignoring her mind completely. Refusing to think about anything remotely complicated. She felt...good. It was somewhat easier to adjust to all the warmth. Still unnerving, but the feeling wasn't as disgustingly unbearable for now. And with Krystal keeping her company she would use that as a distraction. Enough to get some sort of happiness.

She'd remain there within the protective presence of the Tsuchikage. Finding comfort in it. And for once after many very long and tiresome months, she would be able to get some peaceful sleep. Sharing her bed in hopes of not waking up alone again. At least until she can fight the demons on her own.

[Titan of Stone]

The Tsuchikage rested with her lover gently rubbing her frame and letting her melt and relax against her like a leaf in a storm sheltered by the mountain. Krystal didn't sleep though and found comfort giving her warmth to her pained beta, her soul split hugging the young woman from the front keeping her nestled between them until morning.

[Claws of the Tundra]

The cold night raged on without rest; but for the two lovers & a additional plus one they would get a night of peace and warmth. The reunion proved fruitful and overall rather necessary. The highly elusive Yukikage, didn't run anywhere both mentally or physically. She was soothed in the safety of the Tsuchikage and her clone. Not fighting the affection being given to her, not questioning it like she used to. Her mind was in a different, but healthy place for once. She once again had the ability to be happy, but even more so simply grateful. She'd eventually fall asleep lovingly sharing her bed with her mate that seemed to still actually care about her. Which...is the greatest feeling since Kahimi knows she hasn't been the best companion to Krystal at all.

She was going to do better. That much is a promise. For now though, she was going to silently enjoy her time.

[Come Sunrise]

The next morning, was equally warm and vibrant. An extremely odd variable considering the Winter season, but sometimes oddities are common in Yuki no Kuni. With a sense of drive, and interest in tackling the day Kahimi woke up with a smile once she came to. Waking up to the company of her lover, would put her in a very good mood. So much so that if possible, she'd get ready much earlier. Putting on something simple, and comfortable to wear which came out to be a long black T-shirt that fell below her rear, and underwear really. Tying her extremely long hair in a fashionable pony tail which kept it all in one place and controlled.

Taking full incentive to cook breakfast for Krystal. Although mainly for the sake of making an excuse to make sure her lover stays around longer just in case she was actually busy. Kahimi, would put her heart and soul into that breakfast. Having re-learned how to cook & putting her skills to the test as best as she could. The Yukikage would only have cereal, but for Krystal she'd make a full course meal. At least as far as breakfast goes. Either serving it in her dining room, or hoping to surprise her lover with the pallet of food in her bedroom if possible.

The stupidly cute and nervous look she'd give at any given moment, would tell of her true feelings for the woman. Her human heart pounding hard within her chest when the time came to serve the dish, let alone hear how it all tastes. 

[Titan of Stone]

Krystal ended up asleep at some point her body clinging gently to the beta but her limbs relaxed letting her get up while she curled up in the sheets. The smell of food made her nose and ears twitch rousing the cat from her sleep as she looked up for her beta and stretched while slipping out of bed following the smell to the kitchen.

It seemed that Kahimi was done cooking so she hugged around her slim waist before biting soft surprising the pup as she hums before looking over the food purring. Considering everything Krystal picked up the tray full of food in one hand and the Yukikage with the other carrying them to the table and setting up.

"It looks great hun~" The neko smiled kissing Kahimi's cheek before sitting with her.

[Claws of the Tundra]

The surprise greeting, put a small smirk on her lips while she finished preparing her culinary offering of thanks. Her body gently leaning against her lover's before angling and tilting her head back to plant a soft kiss. Of course this was all good and well with the Inuzuka since she happily decided to do all of this suddenly. A purposeful reminder that she needs to think on the good things more often.

Although she wouldn't be able to quietly think for long as Krystal inevitably created an adequate distracting. Being suddenly picked up, made her flinch and jerk in an instinctual reaction to her weight being shifted around. Only to then find herself undoubtedly hoisted over the Tsuchikage's shoulders, being taken where ever the mocha colored neko sees fit. Luckily the trip wasn't far. Being given a comfortable spot sitting with Krystal at the diner table. The compliment towards the prepared food making her cutely blush and smile.

"Thank you." she'd simply say, while idly waiting for her to try it.

Still it seemed that her morning bestowal was received positively, which made Kahimi very grateful. She wanted nothing more, than to appreciate and be appreciated. The attention and love is a very potent bonus. So she quietly would let Krystal eat in peace. Only sharing the food, if the mocha neko wanted her to. Otherwise she'd just be there to keep her company.

[Titan of Stone]

As Krystal ate she purposefully tugged Kahimi to her side so she would eat too while the mocha cat drank the milk from the bowl as they ate. A subtle purr rumbled in her chest as she worked her way through the meal making sure the Yukikage had her fill too, stopping completely if she had to to make her eat.

"Mmm that was great~" She purred laying back and stretching once they had worked through all the food, her body arching a bit off the bed before relaxing and slipping her tail around the beta's thigh squeezing it gently before her gold gaze fell on the pale young woman. "So gonna tell me what was on that letter yet?"

[Claws of the Tundra]

Seeing that her mate probably wouldn't let her leave unless she ate as well, Kahimi simply obliged her wishes. Deciding it is probably best for her health to do so anyway. The last thing she'd want is to make Krystal upset. Especially not during a time like this, so she'd eat breakfast with her until there was nothing left.

Now that things were finished, the Yukikage set all the dishes aside, and rejoined Krystal in her bed. But Kahimi was a little quiet at the moment in thought. Only because she was silently admiring the company she had. Feeling,...better than usual.

Which of course is good. The ticklish feeling of the mocha neko's tail snake its way around her thigh, immediately grabbed her attention. Hearing her question, made her look a little confused at first. She had forgotten all about that letter she sent. Remembering the details would make her laugh a little.

Before speaking she'd just make her way over to the Tsuchikage's side. Pressing herself against them in a gentle cuddle like fashion. Getting as comfortable as possible before she'd speak in a loving whisper.

"It was just a letter asking if we could talk, love. I also was going to tell you about...the changes to me, and how things have been around the country. I also was worried, and wanted to know how we were as a couple. If...you consider it that way at all.

Generally a lot has been moving extremely fast for me so I am attempting to gain a little control over my life again. Starting with more personal situations like my relationship with you."

[Titan of Stone]

"Mmm yeah everything is going fine, I've been napping a lot." The neko hummed softly aloud holding Kahimi to her as she relaxed in the sheets as her fingers started to play in her white hair. She understood a lot was going on in the Yukikage's world so she would offer an escape even if it was for a short while.

"You don't need to worry about getting my attention you know that." She purrs soft holding the beta against her warm mocha figure tracing down her neck softly before she giggled soft and pecked Kahimi's forehead. "Say the word and I;ll steal you."

[Claws of the Tundra]

"I'm glad you've never changed. I'll be sure to repay you for the things you've done for me on such short notice. Just say the word." she'd offer in a genuine tone.

Sharing the bed with her significant other, gave her countless time of unfiltered peace. The escape being offered to her, would be everything that she could have asked for at a time like this. A time away from everything else. Most of her life she has spent it, without a way to express or feel any kind of love. So to do it now, was almost like a dream to Kahimi. Which worried her for a moment, as her mind played terrible games in making her think it wasn't real.

But she knew better.

The pale Inuzuka, knew better than to insult Krystal's level of devotion to provide such things. She made that mistake a long time ago, and paid the consequences of it. Not again. Not ever. And so she would entwine herself with the neko as best as she could. Giving her gentle & affectionate kisses within a spread out amount of time. Showing as much appreciation as possible, while they had the time to cuddle and love each other accordingly.

[Time Skip to the Afternoon]

After a whole morning of spending intimate time catching up with her lover. Kahimi then take it upon herself to make a move and keep the ball rolling. Keeping keen on maintaining the momentum that has been so graciously created. "Hey, lets go outside and do something fun. Have a snowball fight or something? First to get hit more than three times loses?" she'd suggest with a cheeky look on her face. She was scheming something...
