Kaminari started slurping down her miso quickly, listening to Pan talk. "I'm glad that we're going to get past this distress that's been between us lately. I know I may catch you two, but I'll have to live with it. I'm glad that even after all this, that we can still be there for each other, no matter what." She paused, listening to the bit about what Hayner had said about her. "You're not a monster, he's just overly protective of me. He punched Seifer right in the face the one night that we snuck out. He just has this bad way of being protective, where he thinks that just because I complain about something, he makes a big deal out of it. I just need to vent sometimes, y'know? He just got way too verbal with you, I definitely never said that you were disgusting. Not ever. You're also, by no means, a monster in my eyes." She told her sister, wanting to reassure her that she wasn't nearly as awful as she probably thought she was at this point.
Satoshi walked through the doorway on the porch and was once again, greeted by seeing a singed door on the floor. He found the girls in the kitchen, Panda had made food. The girls seemed to be getting along swimmingly, for once in these past few months. "Hey, girls. Everything okay? I saw another burnt and broken door upon my arrival." He laughed a little bit as he said it. He just wanted Mina to stop breaking the damn house.

Pandora nodded in agreement as she mentioned needing to vent. When Satoshi rounded the corner she hugged him slightly. "We're alright, dear. We're kinda talking it all out, and I think that weird thing happened to me again today." She said referring to her darkness that he knew about. She then sat back down and began to eat her soup and rolls of sushi. She half smiled. Everything was falling back into place, and she genuinely felt terrible for making Kaminari think about Hayner in a negative manner, that was he escape from the depressing funny farm. She shook off the thoughts and was just happy that this brought them together as a family.

Kaminari laughed nervously, scruffling her hair, when Satoshi mentioned the front door. "Well, if this one hadn't run off and scared me by shutting all the doors and locking every lock in sight." She joked a little bit, enjoying the lighter mood that was in the house for the first time in three months. "If you need me to, I'll buy a new front door to replace it." She suggested, feeling bad for breaking the house that Satoshi always paid of and kept care of.
"That's great to hear. I'm glad that whatever happened got talked out. As for that..." Satoshi motioned with his hands to Panda, symbolizing the darkness. "We can talk about it later. And that's not needed, little sis. I've got it, but I am going to have to ask you to at least try to start controlling your powers." He sighed, thinking about the price of a metal door, so that she couldn't burn it again.
"Okay, sorry again." Kaminari paused for a moment, thinking of the book she had gotten for that precise purpose. She also giggled a little in her head, since she had controlled her powers whenever she'd burnt that door down. "I can definitely do that, I have a book that I've been using to study my powers." She admitted to both of them. She was excited to further her skills and learn new spells and such.

Pandora finished her miso rather quickly and got herself a second bowl, as she ate her roll. She had an increase in appetite which was good, she felt. Maybe it was the passing out, or the new found peace in the house. Regardless, she loved every moment of it. She cleaned up after she ate, cleaning up after Kaminari and Satoshi, and decided to break out the easel to paint the now night sky. She couldn't help but wonder about what would have happened if she were to have kept her mouth quiet today.

Kaminari got up from the table and went towards the stairs before she spoke. "I'm going to read that spell book, just yell if you need me." She said with a smile in her voice. The peace in the house was noticeable enough that she felt as though she could bottle up the good vibes that were floating around. She sat on her bed, under the covers sort of chilly, and cracked the book back open. She needed to get through this book as quickly as she could so that she could control herself more easily, which was safer for everyone. She didn't like the idea of accidentally harming one of her loved ones with magic.
Satoshi sat on the couch and turned the tv on low for background noise and broke out the Sudoku book that he had. "So, your darkness came out again, you think?" He asked Panda, watching her start her painting.

Pandora set down her brush, turning to him. "I felt it as i passed out. Mina said i didn't wake up for a few minutes, though she mentioned nothing about the darkness, so she either must not see it, I'm crazy, or it dissipated. I just wish i knew how to control it. It's so on a whim, you know, babe? It's as though i can't control it at all yet, it comes when I'm physically ill in some form or another. The portal came when I was having an anxiety attack over the Struggle match. The cloud came when I was almost dead, and I think it came tonight as well, and when I get very sad, I can do this." She held out her palm and a ball of darkness formed in her hand, though it was very faint. She wasn't sad right now. It then disappeared, it wasn't strong enough of an emotion. She then turned back to her painting, adding the lady that she sees in her dreams under the trees that line their house. Who is this woman? She pondered.

Kaminari continued reading her book, specifically the chapter on a thunder spell. She tried to practice the spell and ended up making small bits of lightning come from her fingertips. She loved playing with magic, but she needed to control it. She check the time and decided that the magic would have to wait until later. She saw that it was close to midnight and she put her boots back on, ready to sneak out of the house to meet Hayner. They needed to talk while everything was still fresh in their minds, but not so soon after the fight that they would just end up fighting again. She climbed down off f the small roof that was beneath the window in their room and jumped down on to the ground. She started to make her way towards the Sandlot, humming a song to herself.
Satoshi listened intently to what Panda had to say about the darkness. "Well, hey, you don't want to just use the darkness like the small ball you just showed me. If you use if, but can't control it fully, your heart could succumb to that darkness and then you would split into a Heartless and a Nobody, which is not something that you want to happen." He warned her in a stern, serious kind of tone.

Pandora raised her brow slightly "Heartless? Nobodies? Satoshi, I don't understand. Why do I have the darkness in me? What would happen if i Became those things? How do I control this?" She was so confused, all this talk of whatever they were, and that she could very easily become both of them in just a matter of moments. What was she to do? She sometimes couldn't help that the darkness came out of her. She could barely conjure that little ball, though the portals were becoming slightly easier for her. "Satoshi, those portals are becoming easier for me to make, are those bad? Can you tell me everything you know about this darkness stuff? I'm honestly frightened." She signed her painting then came over to the couch, sitting close to him, facing him.
Hayner was sitting on one of the bleachers twiddling the ring between his fingers. How could he have been so stupid? He cursed himself, and sighed. Maybe it wasn't Pandora who was the monster. Maybe it was himself. He sighed and bowed his head. What was he going to do without her? He loved her so much, and couldn't deal with being without her at all. School was almost back in session, he had only three days left, and he couldn't help but think that he gave all of himself to her, and he just loved her, and all he was trying to do was protect her. He knew how she felt, and he wanted to be that knight in shining armor. Maybe he hadn't executed his words very well, maybe he was very harsh, but he was just an impulsive guy. He hoped that Kaminari would at least accept his apology. He saw her round the corner, and he took a deep breath. This was it.

Kaminari rounded the corner and entered the area that was the Sandlot. She looked up from the ground and saw Hayner standing there under the light from the street lamps. She sighed a little bit as she approached closer to him. She still loved this boy, she just couldn't have him talking to her or her family like that again. She needed him as much as she needed Pan and Satoshi. She just went into over-protective sister mode. She was allowed to yell at her sister like that, but no one else was. She meant it too. They'd really have to talk things out to make things work. If he was going to be like this, things just weren't going to work out. She looked up to see his face and looked into his eyes before she spoke. "Hayner...I still love you, with a large part of myself, I do. I need you to understand, though, that you can't talk to my family like how you yelled at Pan today. I just can't stand for it. I didn't mean to yell at you and lash out at you like I did, but I'm very protective of her. I realize that you were just trying to protect me, but I need you to know that I can fight my own battles, honey." She paused kissing him lightly on the cheek. Saying all these things to him was really stressful; she never thought that she would have to have this kind of conversation with him, at least not this early on into their relationship. "I still want to be with you, Hayner, I truly do. I need you to promise me that you'll try to just talk to me about things and not yell at my family the way you did. I gave my entire self to you, I love you and I want to be with you and only you. I want this to work." She looked down at the ground as she finished speaking, waiting for his response. Hopefully, he wasn't mad at her for the things that she had said to him earlier that day. She needed this to work out between them. She needed them to work. She loved him.
Satoshi listened to Panda and realized that he had made her nervous, great. He nodded solemnly as she asked for him to explain everything about the darkness that he knew. He knew way more about the darkness than he ever wanted to. "Well, to start, whenever you get sad you really need to, for your sake, keep that darkness in check. Don't let it come out while you're in an emotionally distressed state. If you let it out whenever you're not even in control of yourself, there's no way you can control the darkness. When you're mentally distressed, your handle on the darkness is very weak. If it gets too weak, you can end up losing your heart to it. When you lose your heart, the darkness inside of it becomes what's called a Heartless, while the empty shell that gets left behind turns into a Nobody. Heartless only intend to hurt the innocent and force their darkness out of them to raise their numbers. Nobodies, on the other hand, have a little higher of a capability for thought. They can plan, they don't feel, they want to use the heartless to regain heart for themselves. So that they an become whole again." He paused for a moment thinking of her previous questions before answering. "Sometimes the darkness is stronger in some people than it is in others. Those that can see a physical representation of their darkness must learn to control it or it will devour you. You must get a stronger grip on your emotions, you can't be so easily rattled when you have that much darkness that needs constant care and control to keep in it check." He kissed her on the forehead. "And please, don't be afraid of it, the fear is another form of darkness that can engulf you if you let it. You have to get better and stay strong for me, Panda. Promise me that you'll try you're best, okay?"

Pandora looked down, her mind racing. She then looked up to Satoshi, looking into his eyes. She was unsure of what to say, then she took his hand, her cold skin welcomed his warmth. She looked to her other hand, the palm still a darkened color from the ball she conjured, it faded as she gripped Satoshi's hand just a little tighter. She then spoke "Satoshi, I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. I will do, give or say anything for you. I just beg of you, stay with me? I can't do this on my own. You make me feel much better all the time, Kaminari used to, and hopefully that will return now that we've settled things, but" She paused raking her free hand through her hair, letting it fall this way and that. "There is just so much that I don't understand about myself, about this power I just need you here for me. I've been getting better, you've witnessed that. I just need the proper training and guidance." She moved closer to Satoshi, letting her back rest against his chest as she sat between his legs laying her own on the rest on the couch. She felt safe, secure, happy here, in his arms like this.
Hayner rubbed the back of his neck, her previous words of the day still burned the very corners of his heart and mind. He then spoke softly, "Mina, i love you too. I know I was wrong to yell like that, I realize it wasn't my place, but some of the things needed to be said, I feel. I know that it could have been worded much better than what it was, but I still feel that the point that I was trying to stress needed to be addressed. I still want to be with you too, but you have to see from my side, I only saw the negativity coming from you. I only saw the hatred you had for them and their love. I know, I still didn't have a right to speak, you're a big girl, and I get that. I just." He sighed "I won't interfere any more if it means getting one more chance to love you and be with you. Kaminari you mean so much to me, and I will follow you until the ends of the earth. I love you." He concluded stepping towards her lifting her head by her chin gently with his hand. Such a beautiful face should never have to be hidden.

Kaminari listened to Hayner ramble on and on about his apology and how what he said needed said. Though it was a little annoying hearing him say that she hated her own siblings, which she didn't. "I know that they needed said. Because of that argument between us three earlier, Pan and I are on significantly better terms with each other now. She realizes that she can love him or whatever, she just knows that for me to approve in the slightest bit, that I can't see it. I don't hate my brother and my sister. I hate the fact that they're an item." She paused thinking further about what he had said. "Whenever you feel that something needs talked about, just talk to me. We can handle anything together. If you feel that I need to address something, you can tell me and I'll handle it, and vice versa. I do want us to work." She paused gently caressing his face with her hand. "Now, I think you have something of mine, jerk." She said in her normal teasing tone to him, speaking of the promise ring.
Satoshi could hear a little bit of doubt in Panda's voice as she spoke. "I will stay with you, nothing can change that. You know that, I promise. I'm going to be here to help you get better and stay strong. We all need you to get better, especially you. You've been sick a long time. It's time to take your life back and take control and Mina and I will help you get there. You know we're both there no matter what and through it all. We intend to stay that way too." He paused curious of something regarding Mina. "Have you told Mina of your powers yet? I know she's made it abundantly clear to you, me, and your friends that she has magical properties about herself. She also intends to strengthen her skills and get them under her control. She's been reading a lot about it lately." He mentioned, wondering if she had said anything about her darkness. Mina had a very light heart inside herself, she wasn't one of the few that could just conjure darkness. Her heart was strong and she stood for what her heart believed to be right. He knew that she would develop her powers further, she could end up being as talented as Sora was. Just without a keyblade, he hoped.

"I've only told you, Mina would brush it off, or try to send me away or fight me or something. She knows that darkness is bad, and the people who can conjure it, and wield it are bad." She confessed to him. How could she tell Mina? Maybe she'd just have to push that issue aside. "I feel like she wouldn't understand as much, we just got on better terms, and i know her and Hayner are rocky right now. Anyway, what about my drams, my visions?" She said keeping up the facade that they were still fighting. She didn't need Satoshi mad at Mina for Hayner, and she was genuinely curious about her dreams, if they weren't of Satoshi, they were of the woman, and sometimes the infant.
Hayner lightened up and placed the ring on her finger. He then proceeded to pick her up kissing her, spinning with her tightly in his arms. He was so happy that she was no longer mad, and that she was willing to stay as much as he was. He truly did love this girl with every fiber of his being.

Kaminari smiled as Hayner put the ring back on her finger and picked her up to spin her while they kissed. She did truly love this boy with so much of herself. She laughed as they spun. "Hayner! Put me down." She said through laughs. "I'm just as happy as you are, but I'm getting dizzy!" She could hear her own smile come through her voice.
Satoshi sighed as Panda doubted her sister's understanding. "Well, Mina lives in this house too. She deserves to know, as much as I do, that you can conjure and control darkness. She needs to know that, because there could be a time that I'm not around and you're slipping away into it. She needs to know what it is so that she can keep you here with us if anything goes wrong. The only reason she wasn't understanding about us is because I'm her brother and you truly are a sister to her. You can't doubt her understanding on anything else just because she doesn't accept this. She accepts you for all you are. Plus, she had powers too, I'm sure she'd be glad to hear that you do as well." He paused listening to Panda's question about her dreams and her visions. "Well, you've never told me what you see in your dreams, really. Why don't you explain? I'll do my best to help you learn from them, but I'm not a dream reader or a psychic." He laughed a little bit at himself.

Pandora lowered her head as he spoke, she then responded to his question. "well, it's always about the woman that I've painted, Sometimes she holds an infant, and sometimes she just shows up in dreams. She even spoke to me as I was passing out, She told me something about it being alright. She sounded so caring, How does she know me? Who is she? She is always around when I'm about to have nightmares, after she leaves the dream, a whole new sequence enters my mind, and I dream about you." She confessed. "And, as for Kaminari, we need to set her down tomorrow morning and tell her. You know a lot more, so maybe you can tell her how to prevent me going into the darkness, and all those other safety precautions."
Hayner set her down gently and kissed her forehead. "I am sorry, my love"

Kaminari smiled and kissed Hayner gently on the lips again as he put her down. "You know I'm just teasing, love." She giggled a little. "Well, you wanna head home? Who knows what could happen tomorrow. Each day is a new adventure after all." She smiled taking his hand and intertwining his fingers with her own.
Satoshi nodded listening intently to Panda as she described her dreams. "Well, it sounds as though that woman really cares for you and wants you to stay safe. However, she can't be completely unknown. Every face you see in a dream is a face that you've seen before. So, you have to know this woman from somewhere, something, sometime, in your life." He explained. It didn't help her much, but it was all he could offer on the subject. "Yes, we will sit her down in the morning. It's important for her to know about this and I'd be happy to articulate your condition for you, my dear. I think she'll be much more understanding of this."
