Raphael returned the wave and said in a childish manner "Bye Emilooo!"<br/><br/>Kratos just stared at him.<span style="font-style: italic">~This can't be happening...~</span>He thought as they drove off.<br/><br/>As Rylie fell asleep, Kratos muttered something about 'poor thing's all tuckered out from the stress I caused.' then turning to his Nekojin companion, he said, "Raphael, Sleep." and just like that, the Nekojin turned into a cat again, curled up on top of Rylie's legs and fell asleep. Kratos, however, began looking for signs of why Rylie would hate the U.E.M.<br/><br/>"This is tougher than I thought... Maybe I should ask her about it... Then I'd have to explain the reason I hate them as well... but she might not respect me if I tell her. Hell this is frustrating..." sighing, He finally gave up the search. Sitting down cross legged in the middle of the largest of the rooms, he began meditating.<br/><br/>"Well! look who it is!" A voice said, removing him from his thoughts. "And I thought you died what, like two thousand years ago?"<br/><br/>"Correction. Three Thousand, and I suggest you leave, Reaper. No one died here." Kratos spat.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'm not here for that tonight. Just felt like catching up. So what poor soul did you manage to manipulate this time?" The skeletal figure of The Reaper asked. Kratos sighed. "It's strange. I can't manipulate this one like the others..."<br/><br/>Death laughed, then saw the look on Kratos' face. "Wait, you're serious?"<br/><br/>Kratos frowned "Yes, now do me a favor and get out."<br/><br/>"Alright, alright. and Kratos... good to see you again." The Reaper said as he faded from the room.<br/><br/>"Likewise old friend." Kratos said as the sun began peeking over the horizon. "You know... she could probably use a few more hours of sleep... Time barrier, Pause, 3 hours." and suddenly everything outside the house stopped moving. Kratos sighed and looked over at Rylie. walking over to her alarm, he changed it to two and a half hours later than it was originally set at.<br/><br/>"There. that should help her get rid of at least a bit of stress." He said, re-covering one of her legs that had kicked the blanket aside.
