Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is small for a castle, but still large enough to be a mansion. It is supposed to be abandoned, but inside resides Kira.

It's outside is black and menacing both in daylight and in the night. It's windows, for whatever reason, are of red stained glass.
The castle itself has four floors, basement included. On the first floor, there two staircases, one on the left and on the right of the large entrance room, or Grand Hall. The two staircases swirl up to the second and third floors. To the left on the first floor, there is a hallway leading to a ballroom and the kitchens. To the right of the first floor there is a hallway that leads to the bathroom and the lounge/library. Between the staircases on the first floor, there is a short, dark hallway that leads into a large ballroom-sized dining room with a fireplace, extraordinarily tall windows and a long table.

On the second floor there are bedrooms in each wing. More than one; this castle was seemingly used for families and temporarily, a hotel. Each bedroom has a four poster bed with a different color. Kira's desired room has a bloody four poster bed with random blood red and black objects inside.

On the third floor, there are a bunch of rooms, including a private library, an art studio and writing offices.

Each hallway has a different color to them. The one's with the bedroom have bloody red walls. The halls on the first floor are a calming green, and the halls on the third floor are a soothing blue.

The basement is an eery place to be. It holds the laundry room as well as all the mechanical things of the house and the furnace. Everything in the basement like walls and floors are made of concrete. No decoration at all.

Outside is a large, black iron gate that has its own menacing feel to it. On the large stone posts that the hinges of the gate are attached to, there are gargoyles that sit atop the flat surface. The gates are always closed, but rarely locked.

JoJo wandered up to the gates of Blood Sound Castle. Not knowing that anyone lived here, he cautiously pushed passed the gates.

Timidly, JoJo walked through the thrown-about yard, up the cracked steps up to the door. He tried the handle to find it was locked, and then rang the doorbell. He could hear the eery, hollow ringing of the bell from outside the door.

Kira, who sat in her piles of books, set the current one down and walked out of the library toward the door.

JoJo stood outside the door as a woman with cold blue eyes opened the door. She was just as shocked to see him as he was shocked to see her, and they stared at each other for a few minutes that seemed to last forever.

As soon as Kira realized who it was, her eyes widened in shock. "Joseph?"
"Kira?" He asked, as his jaw dropped.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him, half joyous and half scolding. She let him in the castle and stood in the Grand Hall, waiting for an answer as he looked around.
"Well, it's JoJo now... but I thought you were on the run from the authorities!"
"I was, but no one knows of me here..."
"Oh.... I... I was just passing through town... I happened to pass this place and I... I wanted to see the inside. I didn't know you lived here, I swear!" He looked around the castle and then asked. "Hey, can I stay here with you? I've got no where to sleep."

Kira stared at him for a minute, then rolled her eyes and nodding "Yes. But first, lets leave... I wanna walk around. I'm pissed off.".

The two walked out of the castle toward town.

Akane arrived right behind her, just standing behind her and staring at the back of her head.
"Kira. I thought you forgot because you just hoped that I would just forget it. I didn't realize that that guy made you that mad. I acted out like I never should have and now...I kind of hate myself for it. I thought that you didn't feel the same way as I did. I know I'm a jackass and I can't take it back and I don't expect you to forgive me but...could you possibly give me a second chance?"

Akane smiled slightly, relieved beyond belief that she would give him a second chance. He walked towards her and stopped about a foot from her.
"I really do love you Kira."

Akane reached out and attempted to take Kira's hands in his own.
"I cannot explain how sorry I am. I really hate myself for it more than I ever have before."

Akane pulled her close to him and wrapped her in a hug.
"Well, you're going to have to for a few minutes. 'Cause I do feel bad for what I did. It was wrong and stupid. Of course, what else did you expect from me?"

Akane released Kira from his hug and looked into her eyes, a smile on his lips.
"Well...you know how us guys are. Stupid and we overreact a lot of the time."

Akane stood up, brushing himself off and smiling slightly.
"I like the destruction. The pushing, not so much though. Glad you could join us Joey."
