Nexus: The battle for one's memories.

Sora was deeply concerned with the fact that Rui did not seem to care about Sakura. The only thing she could think about was that Sora won, no matter what happened with the loser or who the loser even was. Although he did feel happy seeing his sister that proud and happy for him, he was not able to put his concerns aside. He hoped that Rui could not see the concerns in his facial expressions as he did not know how to explain them to her.

Sakura and Blaze left soon after, leaving the two siblings alone with their Avatars again. Sora noticed that Wolf was sleeping, but he also noticed the worried look on Lumia's face. She must have felt it too: Rui's weird behavior when it comes to Nexus. It made him regret buying Nexus for her and for himself, if the consequences of losing all of your coins had not already given him that feeling.

"Y-you are probably right. Although it does feel weird, you are probably right about this. I had to win and she still has the possibility to get that memory back." He did not believe a word of what he had just said, but he needed to agree with Rui in order to avoid a confrontation with his sister about Nexus. "Yeah, Wolf is sleeping and not thinking about the battles for a moment would in fact feel nice. Let's enjoy the rest of the day indeed!" Sora took a deep breath, freed himself from Rui's grasp and put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to himself.

The rest of the day, they simply enjoyed the zoo like all the rest of the people there. They were acting like nothing had happened and Sora felt as if he was getting closer and closer with Rui. All the while, he started feeling more and more relaxed about defeating Sakura, mostly because of the happy memory with Rui that he got back because of that battle. It was such a good memory and he could not believe that he forgot all about it. He had almost forgotten how much his sister once had meant for him and how much she still did mean for him.

In the evening, when the two of them came home from the zoo, he knew that their parents would yell at Sora for keeping Rui away from the books. If she agreed with him or not, that simply did not matter for them. In their eyes, Sora had kidnapped their daughter and Sora sabotaged Rui's school career. How could they not see that they put way too much pressure on one girl? He hated the amount of pressure they put on Rui more than he hated the way his parents treated him. If they could just let her relax without giving her a guilty feeling...

While his parents were yelling at him for the millionth time, he closed his eyes and put his hands in the pockets of his pants. He lowered his head and almost looked like he was sleeping standing up, which made his parents even more mad. He was not asleep though, he was trying to find a way to ignore the loud voices and the fact that he felt like he had no one that was there for him other than his sister and... well... her.

At one point, he opened his eyes and turned his head towards Rui. Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on his face as he winked at Rui. "Don't worry about it." He said, reassuring her that it did not matter how they treated him. Reassuring her that she should not worry about Sora. After their parents were done yelling, he went upstairs and knocked on Rui's door. "Thanks for a great day!" He said before going to his room, not even waiting for Rui to react.

The next day, Sora was up extremely early. Well, it was extremely early for him, but he did not mind at all. In fact, he seemed like he was on cloud nine, running through the house and getting himself ready. Then the doorbell rang and Natsuko was standing in front of the door. He hugged her for quite some time before welcoming her in the house. They took a seat on the couch in the living room and Natsuko immediately started to touch him all over his body. The touching was quite innocent and she did not touch him inappropriately, but just like... a lot. Wolf was quite worried about Natsuko's neediness, but Ema (Natsuko's Avatar) did all she could to distract Wolf from Sora and Sora himself seemed to like the attention Natsuko gave him.

Sora sighed deeply out of relieve the moment the mysterious guy seemed to understand what Sora meant to say. However, he was rather suspicious of the fact that the guy knew Wolf's name. Sora turned Wolf's card back to himself and noticed that he had been covering Wolf's name with his finger. How did the guy knew that Sora's Avatar was named Wolf from just taking a look at his image? Sora opened his mouth in order to ask Wolf about it, but he seemed as confused as Sora was. "Who is that guy?" So Wolf didn't recognize him either.

"Only other Commanders could have owned you before, right?" Wolf nodded. "Yeah, I guess. But that guy didn't seem much of a Commander to me." Sora sighed again. Well, it didn't matter much. The guy was gone and without him, they wouldn't get any answers to their questions. "He does that every single time? Man, that guy is a pain in the ass." Sora said to Rui. "Maybe he has an ugly face and is just trying to hide. In that case, I prefer him with the mask, I don't want to be traumatised." Wolf joked.

Sora is very surprised by Rui's comment, but even more by her touch. "I guess they will." Sora answered Rui, scratching his head with his other hand nervously. Wolf focused his attention to Lumia in the meantime. "Yeah, i feel it too. I can still feel it. There is another Commander" Wolf said. The moment Wolf pronounced the word 'Commander', he noticed a little girl running towards Rui and Sora.

"Hey! You're Commanders too, right?!" She said with a huge smile on his face. 'Children are so damn innocent', Wolf thought, already feeling sorry for the child that it had been chosen as a Commander and also a little bit angry at the Avatar. "My name is Sakura and this is my Avatar Blaze!" She screamed of joy.

Sakura

Blaze

Sora scratched the back of his head and pushed Rui away from him, so he could squat down and talk to the little girl at eye level. "Yeah, we both are Sakura. But I am not exactly in the mood to battle. I am spending time with my big sister here." He said in his sweetest, most polite voice. However, Sakura didn't take 'no' for an answer. "But I need to battle and win to make my big sister very proud!" Sakura said with a huge smile. "And big sister will be very proud if you manage to win the battle, sweety!" Her Avatar added.

Although Sora didn't know the girl's exact wish, it obviously had something to do with her big sister and he didn't want to interfere with her family. However, Rui seemed to disagree with his decision to the refuse the little girl's proposal to a battle. "Yeah, I know this could save me, but I don't want... I couldn't... Not with such a young child." He whispered to his sister. However, both Rui and Sakura started to encourage him to a battle and finally... He felt like he had no choice but to accept. Sakura and Sora opened the battlefield, colored in red and green.

Although Sora had no confidence in his own capabilities when it came to Nexus, he had a pretty easy win over the child. It seemed like it was her first battle as a Commander, so she hadn't lost everything yet. However, at that moment he had put a little girl in the same dangerous situation as he himself was in. He switched places with such an innocent little child. "Sakura..." He began, trying to console the little child. "It's alright. Come on, Sakura. You're going to win the next battle for sure! And this battle was good training, right? Let's train some more on our own before the next battle." Blaze intervened. "You're right, Blaze! Thank you for the lesson, sir." Sakura said as she bowed thankfully to Sora.

Nexus: The battle for one's memories.

Sora was dumbfounded that he didn't even seemed to remember his sister, even though Lumia said that the guy had seen and talked to his sister multiple times. What was up with that guy? He was so weird and mysterious that he even somewhat scared Sora. "You don't remember if you have seen or talked to us before? What's up with your memory, dude?" Sora almost screamed, possibly out of fear. He needed to get some answers. Who was that guy? What was he planning to do with them?

Although he had weird feelings considering the guy, he felt good when his sister commented on his actions. It felt good to be able to protect his sister, to be able to be there for her, to have her encourage him like that. Then however, he suddenly got one answer. He came over... because he noticed Lumia and Wolf? Just for those two cards? It felt weird and unbelievable that a random Nexus fan would approach strangers in a zoo to take a look at their cards. Something was up with that guy. "These... These cards aren't... We cannot trade them for anything else." Sora muttered.

He hesitated to say something further, but he knew that the guy wouldn't leave with just that one sentence. "The cards... They are... Euhm... More of emotional support... They won't be much good in your deck..." Sora continued, not even knowing if the cards would be of help to the guy. But the guy couldn't take either Lumia or Wolf away from them. Could he? "If you don't mind... I would rather spend some time alone with my sister... You know... Two siblings catching up... We only have the day and I would rather spend it with her than with... Well... A stranger like you." The last words escaped his mouth in almost a whispering tone.

Nexus: The battle for one's memories.

Sora took the bear-themed cup from Rui and took a sip from it. The guy had a huge smile on his face while he was being dragged from one exhibit to the next. It felt really good to spend time with his sister again. It had been so long that it felt like... like returning home after a long and boring business trip. "Oh, yeah! You're right! I guess they are good at hiding themselves. That's pretty interesting to watch." Sora said as he held Wolf's card close to the glass in order for him to see the snakes as well.

Then suddenly, a guy that Sora didn't know walked towards him and his sister. "What does that guy want? Who the hell is that?" Sora whispered towards Wolf, who had an equally confused look onto his face. "I have no freaking idea. However, I don't like the way he looks." Sora whispered a 'me neither' before realizing that Rui had also recognized the guy's presence. A friend of Rui's? A BOYfriend of Rui's? She didn't look that happy to see the guy, so it couldn't be either of those two options.

Then why did she feel the need to make the guy understand that Sora was simply her brother and not her date? "So she runs into him a lot, huh?" Then the guy suddenly turned to Sora instead of Rui. "Yeah, I am. So... What are you doing with my sister? Are you stalking her or something? You should leave her alone." Sora took a couple of steps, so he stood between Rui and Nanashi.

I am FINALLY starting to feel better again. I can breathe properly and don't fall asleep all the time anymore. Are you all willing to continue the roleplay? In that case, I will write up a post about the abnormal phenomena in the house.

I am asking you this now, so I will have your answers when I will reply to my roleplays. :)

@RedXIII I am really sorry. I was planning to be more active, but I am having some troubles with my physical health (nothing too serious, don't worry), so I cannot get any writing done for any of my roleplays. I hardly have the energy to get through my days. I am really sorry. It's up to you if you want to keep on writing until I feel better and can be active again or not. Again, I am really sorry, because I was really excited for this roleplay.

@Liv You didn't go too far in my opinion. I thought it was perfect ;)

Nexus: The battle for one's memories.

Sora scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, when Rui started teasing him. He wanted to react to her comment, but all that he could manage were a couple of sounds that didn't exactly form any words. "Mooh... Oneechan!" He said as his cheeks gained a red color and his lips curled into a soft smile. Wolf didn't say anything. He simply nodded in agreement with Lumia's comment. Sora stood up to take Wolf's card. As the game was done, the two Avatar's didn't need to be that far away anymore.

The next day, Sora and Rui did go to the zoo. Sora had Wolf in the pocket of his jacket, so that he would be able to see the environment too. Sora felt a bit awkwart being that close to his sister again. It had been a long time since they had gone out like that, just the two of them without family or friends with them. He didn't know how to behave or what to say to her. They even had the whole day together, so he couldn't exactly afford to say something wrong. Wolf chuckled. "Don't be so nervous. She's your sister, isn't she?" Wolf whispered, quiet enough so Rui and Lumia wouldn't hear him. Sora laughed a bit at Wolf's comment. "Yeah. I know you're right."

After they got into the zoo, Sora went to take a look at the map. "Do you have a preference as to what kind of animals you want to see first?" Sora said as he tried to sound like a common little brother talking to his big sister. "I myself am more of a fan of the aquatic animals, but they seem a little far from the entrance." Wolf also focused his eyes on the map. "Maybe we can visit my namesakes." Wolf chuckled again.
