The shining lights of his home city always made him smile. Here he spent alot of time as a boy, his mother wanting him to experiance such an amazing enviroment. Here is where he would always feel the most comfortable, feel the safest. The young White Lighter prowled the streets in a black suit, however his was undone in the front. His white collared shirt was unbutton to show some of his chest too. A tie hung loosely around his neck in a black and white pattern, and his Hair was done in a more stylish fashion. In Tokyo, everyone knew it was about fashion. He would show of his ability to dress well when he was here, something that was just influenced by the culture. With a small bag of chips he had purchased from a vending machine, he would lean up against the side of an electronics store and simply watch the girls walk by. Skirts everywhere! Late night in Tokyo was when all the lovely women came out to play. Even as a White Lighter he still loved to chase after the women, probably doing things that would not be allowed to White Lighters often. He could care less however, being that he had a demonic side that made him able to free these inhibitions. With a loud whistle he would smirk at a girl passing by. With a "Hmph" she would crumple up some paper and throw it at his head. Khoua would have been pissed about that normally, however just as he went to respond he unfolded it to see a number written on the inside between hearts. "Jackpot.." he whispered as he pocketed the number. He would then go back to eating his chips, something eventful would hopefully happen tonight. He needed.. a wild night out in Tokyo that had a happy ending. "..."

Alex had spent some time in Tokyo while his brother took some time hanging out in New York City. So what is Alex doing over here in Tokyo? He wanted to see what it was like. He saw movies, he saw tv shows, he even saw ads about it in papers. He thought why not. As he made his way around the corner he saw a woman throwing a piece of paper at his whitelighter's head. He looked like he had a jackpot. He chuckled and walked up to him. "Wow, you really got a way to get women's attention huh?" he asked. He could easily pick up a woman but why would they wanna be near him? He's not really a big ladies man but he does like both sexes. And, he's part Asian so maybe one of these women would like to be near him. However, his whitelighter is a different story. "Hey may I have some? I haven't had anything to eat lately." Tis is true.

".. Do do dooo."
He would stand there tapping his foot, until he sensed a familiar presence. It seemed that for once, the charge found him and not the other way around. It had been a little bit since he had seen Alex, however Alex was perhaps the least likely to die in his list of charges. That was a great thing, it meant that he wouldn't have to distance himself from Alex to be spared the pain. Khoua chuckled, giving Alex a conspirtorial wink. "I suppose you just have to speak the lingo. Living here in Tokyo you learn a few things. Style, how to live a fun exciting life, and how to do your hair for one." he said with another laugh. It was true, alot of Japanese people were pretty concieted with their looks, he was no exception. "I guess, you just learn to have a high self esteem from living here for too long." he said as he finally looked at Alex.
"Sure, go ahead.."
He replied as he handed Alex the bag. In all honesty, he had planned to get something to eat soon anyway. Turning, he would start to walk slowly to allow Alex the chance to catch up. "Walk with me Alex, we'll talk and go to one of my favorite places." he said with a smile. They had a bit of catching up to do since it had been several weeks to a month since he really asked about Alex's life. In this town, he seemed to act like a normal person, there was just something about Tokyo. "So how has Alex been? Anything eventful happen for you while I was tending my other charges?"

"Oh I see, gotcha. Hey thanks," he said as he recieved the bag from him and started eating some of the chips. He walked up to Khoua when he was starting to walk and nodded. "Hey yeah wait up!" Once he caught up to him, he added, "well nothing big. Okay actually there is. You see, I recieved some powers. Like totally different from mine. I am immune to anything except for a special potion that is the only way to kill me. Oh yeah and I saved a woman's life at Magic School. There was a party that was launched and I found her in the classroom about to stab herself. I had asked her before why she was crying and when I left I heard the door slam. I orbed in she was about to stab herself so I telekinetically moved the knife away from her and blew it up. I just discovered I had molecular combustion and telekinesis earlier this year. Its so cool. Anyway nothing else. Wow you have other charges? How many?"

"..."
His face would darken at the mention of such powers, he would have to make a mental note to let the elders know of that. Arching his brow, he would inwardly wonder just where these abilities came from. Now was not the time to ask, it could possible just get back to the source, then he would no longer have surprise on his side should he ever figure out what it was these came from. He could tell that he seemed.. different. Much more power laden then he had ever been, for now he would just smile and act like he was not so concerned however. His face would perk up at the mention of saving someones life, especially stopping a suicide. "Thats very admirable of you. Thats exactly what we White Lighters are here for, to guide people to the correct paths." he said with a smile as he crossed the intersection. A giant glowy sign sat over head showing a TV screen next to it. The latest ads were playing above.
"Thats quite the power. You know, Piper Halliwell is one of the most famous users of that ability."
He would add with a smile. He was sure it would be quite encouraging to hear words like that. Who didn't want to be like the charmed ones? Strong, powerful, overall just great witches. He for one wished that he could have had the chance to meet them, before they all seemed to have vanished. "How many..? Oh, I have seven. But I can't say anymore then that, no one but myself and the Elders can know where to locate them." he said with a smile. He was hoping that one day he would lead Alex to take on his first charge, to show him the warm feeling of being a guiding spirit. "So, do you like Sushi Alex? There is a good place coming up soon. Absolute best, I used to work for them. Had to go down to the fish markets every morning to bid on the freshest stuff." he said with a laugh. It felt kind of good to talk about his old life, when he had been alive.
"So tell me about this brother of yours? I just recently discovered my charge has a sibling."

"Just to let you know, I don't use the powers of the collective but please don't tell anyone not even you know up there, since I don't really want to cause any. I won't even use them for bad. Heck I usually don't use my powers. The telekinesis and molecular combustion powers came way way before I joined the collective. It came one week before I had taken up the position. It wasn't shown until that night. And yep, I felt so good doing that. It was what I usually do of helping people. I never wanted to end up like my uncle he's one example of what would happen when evil consumes you. I just didn't want her to die like that." Alex paused for a moment and gasped. "Really? Yep, but wow, that is so cool! I have read about that and when that happened it was like, holy shit I have that power. You should've seen me when I first tried to control it. I accidently blew up my brother's stereo. But it was by accident! Oh I was just wondering but I don't wanna try to encourage you of telling me. That is so many but you're such a cool whitelighter so it'll be a breeze. I knew one person who had a whitelighter that had get this 20 charges. Can you imagine? Yep I love sushi. Dude you so gotta take me there. Well let's see, he was born in 1981, and he's really my half brother. You see his mother Alicia Lee, married my father Andrew in 1979. And since the A tradition began a bit before my father was born, Ashe's name started with an A. After my parents died and his mother died, along with my siblings, he took care of me. He's such a cool guy. His mother is actually Chinese american, as my father is Asian descend too."

"Hmm.."
So the source of the new powers had a name too, quite interesting indeed. His mind had to mull over all this information, as well as what Alex had just asked him. This "Collective" sounded like a bad thing, or something to at least be looked into. With such turmoil going on right now, the Elders most likely could not stand up against it if it became a threat. Inner conflict came to light now, charge confidentiality.. and his duty to the greater good. Man, he really hated these situations. He supposed he could put it off for now, tonight would just be a night to relax. "Yeah, I know all about your uncle. There are some things I was informed of before I assigned to you, some I have to learn myself. Thats the trickiest part of being a White Lighter." he said slowly as he tried to clear his head.
He chuckled about the stereo. He was the same way when he learned he could orb and control metals. His mother had decided to startle him one day, jumping out from around the corner. His instinct to flee took over, hence his body breaking down into hundreds of swirling lights. "I know how that goes. When I first got my powers it took me a bit to learn to control them. I still have issues with one of them but it's not such a big deal." he said with a smirk. Was he really that good of a White Lighter? He never really had feed back so he couldn't tell. "Twenty charges.. that sounds like a hassle." he said with a laugh. If he had that many charges he would never get anything done. "He sounds like a real cool guy." said Khoua as he led Alex now into a small stall on the side of the street. Several stools sat lined up against the counter. A man in a tall chefs hat watched them as they entered.
"I'll have the Yellow Tail Tuna rolls.." said Khoua as he sat down and placed his elbows on the counter to prop his head. "So have you seen all of the sights here yet? Besides the girls, that is" he said with a wink.

"Yeah but thank goodness it saved me from explaining. I mean you saw how HE turned out and so what if I joined this thingy. I mean suppose its for the greater good? Suppose I use it to help others? But to me powers is just power. I mean the true power is knowledge. I'm okay with using the powers I was born with out of everything and I sure as hell don't want to use the new ones unless if I see an innocent hurt or what not. Or you. I mean if I see you being struck by a darklighter's bow and arrow, like hell I would be standing there. That's the type I am. And Ashe would tell you that though he still constantly tell me not to even use any powers at all unless I really need to. And I am. I hope you'll able to control that one power. Oh yeah I would've not known what to do if I have that many. Yep he is. You should totally meet him. You'll like him." Alex nodded to the man as well. "The same thing he's having," he said to the man. The man nodded. Then Alex sat down across from his whitelighter. "Yep, well almost all. I'm aiming for a sight of Mount Fuji next. Hey very funny. I mean the girls and boys not bad to look at." He paused and added, "oh yeah er did I tell you I'm bi? But don't worry I won't hit on you or anything. Hell I'm just looking around, not really interested having a boyfriend or a girlfriend until the right time."

"I suppose.."
He said slowly as he spun in his chair for a moment. He was trying to figure out how to proceed with all of that, so for now he would simply avoid that subject for now if possible. "We'll talk more on that later, right now I should be spending quality time getting to know my charge." he said with a smile. It was true, Alex was perhaps the one charge that was harder to guage then the rest, so many surprising developments. "And this, Lexxi Archer? What's she mean to you?" he asked with a wink. Poor Alex would probably never hear the end of the teasing. "I don't suppose.. you know?" he said with a wide grin. It was important to him to remain on top of his charges lives, that way he could make sure they were safe.
"Ashe sounds like a really wise guy. Your powers should never really be used except to save a life."
Khoua was a firm believer in personal gains rules, however there were times where there could be an exception. Sometimes the Witches that sacrificed their lives deserved something in return. "Mount Fuji is pretty cool I suppose" he said slowly, never really having been interested in that part of his country. "Thats interesting though, not many people openly admit it now a days. The ones that do are just confused teenagers." he said with a smile as he shrugged. He wouldn't care if he was hit on, that would just make things more amusing. "Most tourists come here for the girls, I had to ask.." he said with a chuckle.

"Yep but give it time. I mean if its bad then maybe you can talk to the elders about it or better yet I'll come to you, deal?" he asked. He would too. One bad thing and boom he'll head to Khoua instantly. "But yeah you're right." Alex paused, rolled his eyes and leaned forward just to playfully punch him. "You are so sick!" he said with a laugh. "Okay first of all, she's just a friend. She actually said she might have a boyfriend named Maddox I think? And I called her recently on the phone saying if they get married I have to be best man. But nope you got the wrong idea buddy. I mean if she wasn't taken maybe but she's taken. Definately is taken. I mean I spent a whole hour listening to her mentioning the guy and she just wouldn't stop. I mean its cool but for a whole hour?" he asked. "But its cool I mean I'd do the same if I like someone. Yep he is. You definately have to meet him. Oh cool whew so if I did you wouldn't think I'm some freak. I mean I don't mind being bi. Its a good way to decide what I really want."

"..Fine."
His charge seemed unwilling to just let it go for now, so to put him at ease he had no choice but to simply agree. Nodding his head he would slowly reach for his tiny cup of Sake that was now placed down before him. Setting his cup down he would raise his eyebrow, having forgotten what he had just said. Suddenly Alex's fist would slug him playfully in the arm, exclaiming that he had been being a pervert for what he said. "Ehehe. So it appears I was wrong.. or someone just doesn't want to admit it." he said with a laugh as he smirked playfully. He loved to play around with his charges, it gave him a much needed reward for his efforts, smiles. "Maddox.. Develton..?" he would ask slowly. If she was marrying that man, it could only mean one thing. "Alex.. Lexie wouldn't happen to be a demon.. would she?" he asked with deep concern. If she was, there was no way he could feel comfortable with his charge being around that. He would simply have to start monitoring Alex more closely.

"Yay thanks," he said and smiled back at him before sitting back and clasped onto his cup as well. "Hey! She's taken. Um no I think his name is Maddox Density. Nope she's a warlock. Look I know she's evil but she's really a nice girl. I met her in class and remember that day when you came? That was when I met her. She's really sweet and she didn't have that many friends, she didn't mind me being a good being." He sighed knowing his whitelighter might be angry but he is the type that would be friends with both evil and good. "And deep down I know she is a good person. I mean she seemed so in love when she told me about him. Heck I even gave her some tips. Like when he is about to kiss, just smile. Things like that. Though I think I'm picked to be best man. However I don't know if I should meet Maddox. Not yet. Anyway, other than that well I don't have one as you know. But heck I think you should have someone. I mean you're a hot guy so why not?" He winked as well, and sure yes, okay he's flirting but why not?

"Don't mention it.."
The White Lighter would say in a slow weary tone. He couldn't decide wether or not this was a good decision or perhaps the worst one he had ever made. Shrugging his shoulders, he would simply let it go for now. He could not however shake the feeling that this was a bad idea for Alex to be involved with her. Maddox was a Density, they always had a way of breaking and turning people; the Royal family. If they got to Lexxi, they could probably get to Alex too, but that was a big IF. "I can protect you from a Warlock, it's the fact that he's a Density that worries me. They have a way with corrupting people, perhaps not the greatest way to put a White Lighter at ease." he said slowly. He would watch as the man placed the Sushi rolls before him, giving a simple bow to the man. "Arigatou." he said softly as he picked up the chop sticks and placed one within his mouth. "I suppose you could say I am quite the sexy hunk." he said with a mouthful of Sushi, a peice or two shooting out onto the floor a bit. He would start to chuckle heavily, his eyes closing from how hard he was laughing.
"Oops, sorry."

"Like I said I never met him. I only known from Lexie who was evil from the get go so I know she didn't get turned by him but by her stepfather but okay. I mean I haven't heard from her lately." He sighed wondering if it was a good idea to even talk about her. Alex looked at the waiter when his was placed down and said, "arigatou" too. Alex nodded when Khoua spoke but couldn't help of chuckling even when one of the pieces came flying out onto the floor. He burst into laughter. "Its okay, and heck people make mistakes." He reached down grabbed the piece and tossed it aside on the table. Then he picked up a piece of sushi and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's fine, just in my nature to worry and.. protect."
The one thing that his job meant, he was to guide and protect the next generation. He frowned however when his charge seemed genuinely worried about the fact that she had not been in contact with him. Even though he was worried about their friendship, it obviously meant more to him then alot of things. "Im sorry, perhaps we could go find her soon?" he offered with a smile. He simply wanted to cheer Alex up, however the Sushi part seemed to have done that for him. Just then a ringing could be heard from his pocket. Khoua would reach inside and remove a cell phone, answering the call. "Moshi. No, Im busy." he said with a smirk on his face. Whoever he was talking to was female, that much could be heard by the other people around Khoua since she was loud. "No, we'll probably be out most of the night, he wants to see Fuji." he said slowly. They would go on for a few moments before he would flip the phone closed. "Sorry about that.. so anyway, a best man? That sounds exciting." he said with a smile. "Perhaps one day my charge will find someone too. Everyone deserves a little love in their life. If your interested, I do know someone you might like.." he said with a wink. He could only hope that when he did, Alex found someone that made him feel invincible.
