The Playground

*finishes and looks at the ground*

Keller looked at Shizuma, her head tilted, "You have a wonderful voice."

*looks back* thank you....

"Is there something wrong?" Keller asked her, a motherly concern filling her stony gaze, as she noted that Shizuma had lost her energetic-ness.

*shakes head* nothing.......just thinking of someone i encountered earlier......

Keller nodded, "Oh... Oh~kay." she said, quietly.

*blushes thinking about it and gently puts fingers to lips*

Keller smiled, watching Shizuma's actions, "I am taking it that this... eh... person... was particularly special..."

*nods removing fingers from lips* s-she was beautiful.......and well.......
*blushes more putting fingers back on lips*

Keller smiled, "And... well...?" she asked.

*puts hand to side* she.......she kissed me.....

Keller smiled, softer, her smile lighting up her face. "Awwwww~ My little Zuma has found love~"

*blushes more looking away* h-hey! i-it was only once.......she could have been confused.....

Keller laughed, running her long slender fingers through her pure black hair, "Mmmhmmm.... Confused?" She shook her head, the twin silver bells in her hair chiming with the movement. "If that is your excuse this time, what is your excuse going to be for the next kiss... this... special someone.. gives you a kiss?"

*looks away still blushing* no one could love me like that........

Keller stared at her momentarily, then she strode forward, stopping a foot in front of Shizuma. She put her hands on her hips, her tone changing from playful to defiant. "Excuse me...? Tell me I did not just hear those words come from you mouth."

*stares back face going blank* you did hear those words come from my mouth. thats the truth. NO ONE could love me like that.

Keller did not change her posture, nor her voice tone. "How could you say such a thing?! Do you think she would have kissed you, if she had intended to not love you like that. She was lucky, anyhow. How do you know there are not others out there who would have murdered in cold blood, to have loved you like that."

Keller, lost in her ranting, started to pace in front of Shizuma, her hands still on her hips. She shook her head, the bells once again chiming--- a soothing noise.

*frowns* I'm afraid......

Keller stopped her ranting, along with her pacing. Her mood changed immediately, hearing those two words from Shizuma. With a swift, fluid movement, she pulled Shizuma into a hug. "Don't be..." she said, "If this girl has any brains at all, she will latch onto you and love you forever. And if she does any harm to you, just come to me... I will surely not some sense into her..."

*slowly wraps arms around her hugging her back* ok....

Keller smiled, "Okay..." she said.

thank you keller......i needed that......
*thinks* she was cute.....

Keller pulled away, "You are very welcome, Shizuma." she said, "Was she...? Care to describe her to me?"

*smiles* she had blond hair blue eyes and one heck of a body
