We the Keepers of our own Desires...

[Rebecca Koshiba]

Rebecca Koshiba was once again finding herself somewhere other than the safe confines of her home in the icecream parlour. Having that small taste of freedom when she had found Morgan had made her realise that there was more than just being in the ice cream shop. She needed to have some sort of connections outside the strong line of the Koshiba and surrounding families and that included the Le Fey. The fact that Lilith was a Le Fey and Aine was a Le Fey meant that the Le Fey were now a part of the Koshiba, whether they liked it or not. It was just something she really needed to do and she knew it. She didn't really have any friends because anyone she ever met had something to do with the Koshiba and they were usually to see her father or her mother, not her. Even though Koaru had been her adopted father for nearly over four years now, she had only recently started calling him by the name of father. There was no particular reason for it or anything, it just hadn't felt right until now. Which kind of confused the small girl. She shrugged her shoulders andd continued down the path she had been following. She wasn't sure where it was going to take her but she knew that where ever she went she would meet someone special. It wasn't just a hope. It was also a desire. To find someone that she could consider to be like her. But she also knew that it was likely to never come true. She was unique, an individual entity never to be repeated. She sighed as she realised the truth of her desire and found a nice park to play in. She really quite liked parks and this one was no different at all. She smiled slighty and found a nice set of swings. However there were already a group of kids there. Bex didn't care, she could handle these little kids. It was ann advantage of being a Koshiba. She was superior and knew how to get her way. She would use the most basic method of achieveing her goal. The small blonde walked over to the wing and flicked it. The boy who had been sitting on it unsuspectingly on the plastic seat, fell to the ground and whipped his head around to see who was responsible. Apon laying his eyes over Bex he laughed slightly and went to grab the swing again. Bex simply kicked the seat out from under him again. He would have been around ten and he was alot bigger than her. But she remained unemotional and straightfaced. He didn't scare her. "What the hell little girl? What did I ever do to you?" He asked alittle on the angry side, but more surprised and confused. Bex shrugged and kicked the swing at his knees. When it collided, the boy fell over and craddled his sore knees. Bex nodded and took the swing for herself. That would teach him to make her wait again.

The parents and friends of the boy gave Bex weird looks and kept asking her who she was, where her parents were, and why she had done that. Bex just ignored them all. She didn't care about them. Her head was killing her, she didn't know them and she was in a bad mood. She had no time or patience for strange people with no respect. They should know who she is, they were all magical families, they should know of the name Koshiba. If they were in Japan right now she wouldn't be recieving such looks. They obviously weren't with the underground. She eventually grew tired of their questions and looked over her shoulder, a look of death on her face. The parents and other children immediately shut up and shuffled away so that soon the park was completely empty. None of those people had meant anything to her, nor did she want them too. She had to admitt though, she kind of wish someone had been here to see that. She had completely cleaned out the park. She was sure Hoshi and Eden would have been proud of her. Perhaps even Koaru would be proud. She had never really sat down to have a proper conversation with the man, but surely he would not begrudge her that right?

[Netayna Abramovitz]

Netayna Abramovitz had gotten used to the idea of being alone. She had been wandering the streets with only her shadow for company for a few weeks now and had become accustomed to not having anyone to talk to. It wasn't to say that she didn't miss her family or having company, she did. But she missed them a little bit less each day. She had to admit that the more time that passed the more she began to hate her parents for leaving her behind. It wasn't hard to hate them, there was plenty to hate them for. After years of being taken care of by the families maid it was no wonder that the young Israelian began to hate her own parents, she never saw them. They were rich and they didn't want to be burdened by a daughter. So all in all it shouldn't have come to any surprise to Netayna that her parents had left her behind. But it still hurt. No matter how much she said it didn't, it stung that her parents didn't want her anymore. Ducking out of the bush that she had called home for the last few weeks and into the park that she had stumbled across on her third night in New Zealand. Picking leaves off her clothes she sat down on the grass looking up at the clouds. When she looked at the clouds she found herself drifting away to when she was at home, watching the clouds as she lay on the hammock in her backyard. She spent hours out there, when she wasn't having lessons, whenever Ayala had a free moment from her duties to Netayna's parents. Those were the days, when she actually had a home and parents, no matter how little she saw them, she still had them. Now she didn't but she couldn't really change that and she didn't want to sit around feeling sorry for herself, that wouldn't achieve anything. Dropping her head she looked across the park to the playground. Spotting a blond girl Netayna cocked her head and watched the events play out in front of her eyes. Frowning at what she saw the girl rose to her feet, who did the girl think she was thinking she could kick a boy off a swing? The girl ignored the occupants of the park until suddenly she turned and the whole of the park emptied leaving her and the strange blond girl. Confused as to what the girl could have done to clear out an entire park in one go, but she was going to find out.

Strolling across the park she approached the blond girl who was sitting on the swing. Netayna tried to appear polite, like her parents had taught her to, but she felt slightly angry that the girl could have kicked a boy off a swing. She tried to keep a level head, maybe she had a reason to be mean to the boy, but until she found out more she couldn't decide whether or not she should like the girl. "Be nice to all, even your enemies." she muttered in Hebrew, remembering the lesson that Ayala had taught her. Stopping in front of the girl she looked at her. "How did you do that? Clear the park?" she asked raising an eyebrow at her. She wanted to find out how she had managed to clear so many people so fast.​
