[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan reached out, still leaning against Unico, and pulled Kisho back into a hug, slightly smiling in the fact that two of the most important people in her life cared about her, and were with her right now.

"And I care about both of you..."
She was actually afraid. Afraid of having to choose one over the other.
She loved them both equally, with much emotion.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico watched with disgust as Siobhan pulled Kisho into an embrace. Not very picky, is she..? He smirked. -She probably doesn't have the slightest idea whats going on.

He paused, thinking..Siobhan has never been naive, so perhaps she is purposely not interpreting our meanings.-Still, you think Kisho could be a tad more aggressive. Its not as entertaining without a rival..

Unico closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair. He smiled, taking Siobhan's chin gently, delicately. He tipped her head so she was looking in his different shaded eyes.

"-Foolish Siobhan... What is not wonderful about you? Your faults are nary, and you have a kind heart." He let his hand slip down, presumably taking her hand in his.

"We know you get violent when you transform, but that just makes things...exciting." Unico looked down at the hand he was caressing. That's when he realized he had taken Kisho's by mistake. He snarled, letting it go. Unico started to furiously wipe his "Kisho Infested" hands on his blouse.

After he regained himself, he presented Kisho with a hollow smirk.

"So pleased to see you're better, Kisho..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan stared into Unico's eyes, trying to figure out his hidden meaning.
"But my 'nary' faults are large ones..."

She let go of Kisho, and put her hand on Unico's.
"Can...you take me to my room for a moment, please? I have to get something..."
She moved her head close to his ear, she could feel his lack of body heat radiating off of him, and whispered to where Kisho couldn't hear.
"...For you."

OOC: Erin-chan, the part with the mistaken hand was priceless.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

(( OOC: Thank you XD ))

Unico nodded, pleased with himself. He stood up, then lowered his hand for Siobhan to grasp as he pulled her up alongside him. As they walked, he turned to her, completely serious.

"I submit to your request, Siobhan, but I would never have thought you'd want to go there again.." His voice drifted, like his thoughts. "..It would be to painful for me."

Unico smiled to himself. Even after all this, Siobhan was still her usual, determined self. That was hopeful. He glanced over his shoulder and sneered at Kisho.

Heh, it appears he has Ashtyn and Talison to keep him company.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan said nothing while they walked, only nodded.

Opening the door, the stench of dried blood filled her nostrils, and sent her caracal into a frenzy.

She ignored it, and walked over to the bed. She kneeled down, and dragged something out from under it. Opening the box, she took out a piece of paper, and held it to her chest, not once her voice breaking a whisper.

"Come here, please, and look at this...I made it for you a while ago, and was planning on putting it in a place where you'd see it when I killed myself, and you had to clean out my room..."[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico's flesh tingled. The knowledge that Siobhan was so well prepared to die, scared him. He walked over to her, sitting beside her. He gently took the paper between his fingers and searched it, slightly afraid of what he would read.

"What is this, Siobhan..?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan walked back over to the door, closed it, and locked it from the inside. She turned back to where Unico sat, her eyes never leaving the floor, and sat down beside him.

"It's...a poem. Actually...a suicide note/poem. I...wanted you to have it, because...I was afraid that I would never be able to tell you that I..."
She looked at the paper and turned her gaze away from Unico..
"I ...[size="1"]love you...[/size]"[/font]

[Kunoichi]

OOC: Nami-chan Kianna is currently aiming to kill Affinity ^_^;;; just wanted to make sure you saw it *smile

[Song_of_Storms]

((OOC: I know. ^^ ))

A breeze of uneasiness swept over Unico... He looked at the door, panicking. He was terrified of being locked in somewhere. He looked away as he cursed himself in his mind. This is Siobhan we're talking about. I don't need to fear the past anymore..

He read the poem, hardly being able to keep his eyes off Siobhan. What is she doing? This is so unlike her! But, its not that I don't... desire it.

Unico took her hands and whispered, leaning his forehead against hers.

"Oh, Siobhan... What will Kisho say? I know he loves you, also. Like I do.."

He glanced over at the locked door.

"..You realize, of course, us being locked in here is very suspicious. Most likely wil raise a few eyebrows, also."

Unico pressed his lips against her forehead, the wrapped his arm around her shoulder and sighed.

"You have no idea how relieved I am you are alright.."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]"I have known you longer, Unico...I've had more of a chance to build a relationship with you...I do not care what they may think. I-...I.."

She couldn't help it when tears started falling from her clenched eyes.
"I had to tell you before I left! I have to leave! I don't want to, but I'm forced!!"

Sobs wracked her slender frame, and she laid her head on his lap, still crying.
"It's Mr. Burnois! The man who ran the previous orphanage that I inhabited! He's making me come back. He has...'evidence' that I was the one who 'killed' Ashtyn if I don't return!!"[/font]

[Nami]

Unico watched with disgust as Siobhan pulled Kisho into an embrace. Not very picky, is she..? He smirked. -She probably doesn't have the slightest idea whats going on.

He paused, thinking..Siobhan has never been naive, so perhaps she is purposely not interpreting our meanings.-Still, you think Kisho could be a tad more aggressive. Its not as entertaining without a rival..

Unico closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair. He smiled, taking Siobhan's chin gently, delicately. He tipped her head so she was looking in his different shaded eyes.

"-Foolish Siobhan... What is not wonderful about you? Your faults are nary, and you have a kind heart." He let his hand slip down, presumably taking her hand in his.

"We know you get violent when you transform, but that just makes things...exciting." Unico looked down at the hand he was caressing. That's when he realized he had taken Kisho's by mistake. He snarled, letting it go. Unico started to furiously wipe his "Kisho Infested" hands on his blouse.

After he regained himself, he presented Kisho with a hollow smirk.

"So pleased to see you're better, Kisho..."

Kisho hadn't been expecting what Unico had done and was more than a little disturb by it. He rubbed his hands on his shirt and wrinkled his nose. He watched them leave and then stood up, 'Remember.. it's for the best.' Kisho felt his gut twist. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry and he wanted to kill.... Kisho blinked, 'Kill?' yes, that was the over whelming feeling he had, he wanted to murder someone.. anyone. He felt the animal inside of him ripple with happiness at that thought. Kisho felt disgust wash over him, but he couldn't get rid of the need.

Kisho looked at Talison and Ashtyn, then he turned and left the house running from it. 'Kill....' Kisho's eyes glowed and his form changed...He charged head on in full 16 hand cat form. There would be blood spilled tonight...
---------------
It was then that Affinity Smirked, "Got'cha." she pulled out a weapon and shot Kianna, this bullet wasn't any normal bullet, it was a bullet to stop the transformation of the Anichi's body. It sealed the ability of being able to release your inner Anichi, there were none who could resist it. It had been tested on every single Anichi of every kind, even genetically manipulated ones. And it never failed. Affinity dodged out of the way with the speed that only she had and watched.

[Song_of_Storms]

Shocked, all Unico would do was gently rub his hand on his head. He stammered, unsure what to do. Finally, he leaned over, keeping Siobhan in a embrace. He rubbed her back, trying to sooth her.

"There's nothing you nor anyone else can do that will allow me to let you go. I just got you back, I'm not letting you fall into disappear again."

He pressed his finger onto Siobhan's lip, smiling.

"Ashtyn is alive now, how can he prove she's murdered?" His eyes narrowed, as he hissed with utter hatred.

"Why does he want you back? I can go for you... Anichi or not, we still have rights. The police can do something, or maybe the Monks.."

Unico's eyes sparkled excitedly. His tone grew soft, full of expectations.

"..Siobhan, you could pray..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]"..."

"Because this is Mr. Burnois we are talking about. He can make anyone believe anything, for the right price--"
Her eyes shot open when he placed his finger on her lip, slightly blushing.

"He wants me back, because I stole something from him."
She pointed to the small portrait of Ashtyn as a very young girl.
"I'm not sure you know who I'm talking about. This is Marion LeCroun Burnois. THE Marion LeCroun Burnois, and...I'm not sure I know how."

----
"Auntie, what's wrong with Uncle Ki?"
Talison looked up worried at her mother's sister.
Ashtyn brought her into a light embrace.
"I don't know...something's wrong."[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico jerked his head up. That was a gun shot! What the blazes was going on?!

He jumped up, running to the door. He called without looking back. "SIOBHAN! Did you hear that? I know I heard a gun! Come on!" He fumbled, unlocking the door. He opened it, letting it slam into the opposite wall as he darted out. He started running down the stairs, but stopped when he came to Ashtyn and Talison.

"-Are you OK, Tali? ...Where's Kisho?"

[Nami]

The instinct was stronger now, he moved in a strong motion and before he knew it, he had reached the town. Kisho stalked through it, his eyes burning for the need to kill. The first person he saw was man, walking home from work. That was his first victim...

Kisho woke up in a puddle of blood, he was drenched in it.. Kisho stood up. He was used to this.. he didn't look at the corpses instead he ran back to the house and up the steps, blood trailing behind him. He ran past Unico, Ash, And Talison and slammed his door shut locking it and turning his music up so loud he thought the speakers might blow out. "I hate everyone." he growled.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan jumped up and ran after Unico, only a few steps behind, so she saw he bloodied figure of Kisho running in front of her.
She looked back and forth between the two, and followed Kisho.

Trying to open the door, it wouldn't budge--she believed it to be locked.
All she could hear was loud rock music, and nothing else.
She banged her fist on the door repeatedly.

"KI!! KI!! KI, OPEN THE DANG DOOR! NOW, PLEASE!!! OPEN IT!!"

------
Talison shook her head, she was too scared to look when Kisho went back and forth.
Ashtyn was covering Talison with her arms.
She was too shocked by what she had seen to say anything.[/font]

[Kung_Fu_Master]

Jericho watched as everything happend, "There they go again, not caring what pain they cause, just as long they get some high. Is this all we're good for, causing pain? There may be good times but always ends up right back here."

[Nami]

Kisho ignored Sio, he hated everything, no one ever looked at him really. Whenever they looked at him all they saw was some jerk or some pathetic person, he hated it. He hated Unico... He hated the people who had been cruel to him... Kisho pulled his knees up to his chest and cried into his knees, the pain was to harsh for him to deal with... and he had no other way of letting it out.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan growled, and kicked the door open like he had done hers.
She saw that he was covered and blood, and her heart cried out to him.
She ran and kneeled down beside him and looked at his now-crimson form.

"You know, I hate it when people ignore me, you should know that by now."
Her eyes were focused, and her mouth was set in a firm line.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho looked up at her, his eyes were glowing, he tucked his head back in his knees, "shouldn't you be with Unico?" he asked with a small growl.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan growled back. Two stubborn members of the feline family together in the same room really wasn't a good idea.
She clamped her hand around the back of his neck, and turned his head towards her, her snarl revealing some fangs.

"I will be here if I wish to. I don't care if you hurt me. In fact, hah! Hurt me if you will. I will not strike you back, although I doubt you can hurt me the way you are now, you silly tiger."
She said these words in order to get a response. Hopefully, it worked.

She unretracted her claws and kneaded the carpet with her unoccupied hand.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

"-Why should she be with me when I'll be with you?"

Unico stepped in, keeping his focus on Kisho. He smelled blood, but would worry about that later. Now, he wanted to know why Kisho was acting so strange. He walked over beside him and slid down. He said nothing, but after a moment he put his arm around Kisho's shoulder and pulled him close. He hissed.

"Try to get away, claw me to death if you so wish. Will that make you happy? Death? I've known you for a very long time, Kisho. I treated you so harshly, but all the time I believed you knew what I was really saying."

He was tense, expecting Kisho to freak out at any time. Still, he kept his hold on him. Unico rested his silver head on Kisho's shoulder, speaking softly but perfectly clear.

"...I'm fond you, Kisho. I've been so jealous of you for such a long time.. I don't want you to harm yourself. I've always wanted to be more like you."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan looked back up at Unico.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. He's really **** at you right now."[/font]

[Kunoichi]

Kianna felt the bullet seep into her body. Pain erupted into her mind. The nerves within her body screamed in terror (OOC: Yes...they can do that lol). All her mind could think was that she wanted to die. Her anger felt like it was consuming her body.

"You....will....not.....win!" She struggled forward even as her body started to de-transform. She felt her body shifting back to human form. Luckily the bullet had only hit her shoulder. She looked at the bullet, blood was minimal as this was not a normal bullet but it still hurt.

She winced, it was her strong arm. She shifted and put the dagger in her other, "Why are you here Alexandra? Leave these people alone. You do not want them, you want me. So I will do as you ask. I will serve you once more but leave them alone." She felt tears run down her face, she sunk to her knees; chest heaving as she could no longer contain her misery. Images flashed by her. She did not want to give into this monster but she had no option, there would be no more killing for her sake.

She rolled up her sleeves, the various symbols that were branded in her arm now had a strange red glow. She said nothing and just waited for the time of her servitude to begin again.

[Nami]

Kisho didn't bother to hurt Sio, he stared at her and then put his face back in his knees, when Unico came in, and put his arm on his shoulder, he almost clawed Unico's face off. But instead he listened to Unico, "More... like me.." Kisho said the words again and only let his eyes show, he looked at Unico from his tucked in position. "...Jealous.." he said the words as if he had never heard them before.

His mind reeled and bucked, the wild beast inside of him hated their kindness, but Kisho... he wanted it. The wild animal got control and slammed Unico to the wall, Kisho screamed in his mind and pushed the beast back. His head landed on Unico's chest. "Unico.." he whispered letting tears roll down his face, "you should never want to be like me.. you should never be jealous of me. You care about Sio.. so much. I could never show her the kindness you do.." he felt his throat close, "Unico.. though I.. do dislike you at sometimes... I had always hoped we could get along." Kisho confessed, it was a hard thing to do, but it was the truth.

Kisho gripped Unico's shirt, "and Sio.. I could never hurt you... not even if I wanted to." He didn't look up, but he felt his inner beast trying to push back to control. "Unico... you have.. to promise to take good care of her.. because.. I am not good enough for her..." the hot tears streamed down his face and landed on Unico's shirt.

------
Affinity watched the girl and sighed, "I am not Alexandra, my name is Affinity. I don't know what happened between you and that girl, but i will say this, I would never have a servant ever.. I don't want you under my control because that is simply a selfish thing to want." Affinity tucked the gun away, "I hope we can be friends.. Kianna."

[Kunoichi]

Kianna did not hear her. She was lost in her own dillusioned world onset by the likeness of the girl Affinity and her former foe and master, Alexandra.

She swayed, mumbling, "Take me...not me. Take me. Take me." Again and again. She stared off into space at the invisible ghosts. "Please, do not kill them. Please I beg you do not....do not kill them." She stood.

"Somebody...somebody stop her. No!" She didn't move. Didn't seem to breathe and then it was done. Her body shuddered and she found herself in front of the girl Affinity. She winced as she looked at her shoulder. She had blacked out again.

"You are....I'm sorry. What happened?" She looked at the girl, "I was out there with Roscoe and then well its kind of fuzzy." She smiled at her. She SMILED. Wow, she thought, that is interesting. My nervousness is gone. Wierd. I seem to just trust this girl and really all of them. That is odd.

She winced, "umm...well this isn't the first time this has happened with a few injuries but would you mind helping me out?" She looked up at her, "Ya know you look kind of familiar to me....we haven't met right?" Without waiting for an answer, "My name is Kianna. I just came here three days ago. Sorry i hadn't come out but I was kind of scared. I have been alone for a long time. I don't know if I trust the snake too much but I liked Roscoe and Jericho seemed okay too." Rambling on as normal twelve years old seem to do, it was like she was a different person.

Perhaps it is the Anichi within me, Kianna thought for a moment. She thought back to Roscoe and her's conversation. Yes the periods of seriousness, of survival, that was the Anichi within her. Perhaps it would rest for a bit.

[Nami]

Affinity watched Kianna, she was a little bit shocked to find that the girl didn't remember trying to kill her. "Um.. It's quite alright actually." she smiled and walked over to Kianna, "I am Affinity, it's a pleasure to meet you," she held out her hand to Kianna warmly.

[Kunoichi]

Kianna shook it. "Ummm ya know I got a question...who runs this place? It seems like a huge..well huge mess at times." She didn't know how else to put it with all the screaming and raving. "I mean there is a kid on the roof...why is he on the roof?"

"Also..hmm...you are a Anichi too right? Which one are you? I'm a wolf. Although I don't remember doing it alot but its probably really pretty!" She smiled and then took out a bandage from her pocket, she tied it around her arm but it easily fell off. "Umm can you help me?"

[Nami]

Affinity knelt down next to Kianna, "There is a priest I believe who runs this place, I haven't seen him myself, but apparently he is really nice." Affinity wrapped the bandage around Kianna's wound and tied it off. "I am a Maned Wolf, which is a breed of fox." she smiled. "A wolf huh? Well, it must be pretty." Affinity knew it was a pretty form, she had seen it.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan couldn't say anything. She just stared at Kisho for what he was saying.
She lowered her gaze to the floor, and placed a gentle hand on his back.

"I.....I'm sorry...."[/font]
