[Nami]

Affinity looked at Kianna with a shocked expression and then dodged out of the way by flipping backwards and to the side. "Woah! Hold your freakin' horses! What did I do?" Affinity asked arching a red brow.

OOC: It's fine X3

[Kunoichi]

Kianna said nothing, "You know well!" She pulled up her sleeve, brand marks of various symbols lined her arm, "Remember now?!" She charged again, shifting quickly and faked a sweep then jumped, aiming a kick for her chest.

She could feel the anger starting to take control. Not yet. Not yet. She grabbed hold of her dagger tightly.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]OOC: Yes, I am going to put a censored curse word, but that's because it's the only word I believe that can fully express her anger. I edited the word on here, but in my mind, she actually says it. I'm sorry if it bugs anyone, and I will change it if needed.

IC:
Siobhan gasped and furrowed her eyebrows.
"How could you...? You forgot...? Ah....?!"

Her eyes shut tightly, and she started shaking from the pure rage coursing through her body.
Growling, she reopened her eyes, them now being slitted pupils instead, and her teeth turning into sharper fangs.
"What did those b--tards do to you, Imouto-chan?"

The bones in the hands that wrapped around her sister started changing their physiology as they slid into their new forms, having the skin and nails of a human, but not completely catlike.
And then...that's when the barrier around her mind starting cracking yet again...

Ashtyn looked up at her enraged sister, now scared.
"Th...they gave me some kind of funny medicine, sissy...sissy, please stop, you're scaring me!"

Talison jumped off of Ashtyn's shoulder and jumped onto Siobhan's nuzzling her to calm down.
"Mama, stop it! Not again!"[/font]

[Nami]

Kianna said nothing, "You know well!" She pulled up her sleeve, brand marks of various symbols lined her arm, "Remember now?!" She charged again, shifting quickly and faked a sweep then jumped, aiming a kick for her chest.

She could feel the anger starting to take control. Not yet. Not yet. She grabbed hold of her dagger tightly.

Affinity easily dodged Kianna, "I don't know what you're talking about." She said, "You have got the wrong person, kid." Affinity remained in a crouched position, waiting for the next attack that she knew would come.

[Kunoichi]

Kianna smirked, "Psh. You didn't say that the last time we fought did you Alexandra!" With that last word, she struck again, now in a flurry of attacks. "Your mine!" She swung fists, kicks, and her dagger again and again. Trying to damage her foe.

[Nami]

Affinity blinked, "Alexandra? What the heck?" she said cocking her head, "I am not who you think I am kid." Affinity had had enough of this she caught Kianna's blow and kicked the dagger from her hand, then twisted her arm and flung her to the ground pinning her in place. "Calm down! Good grief kid."

[Kunoichi]

Kianna easily stepped out, dropped her shoulder, faced Affinity and delivered a full blown kick to the girl's chest. "You think I would be that easy just cause' I'm a kid?" She glared, spitting out some blood that she had recieved as a result of the scuffle, "You know better than that Alexandra. Whether you deny who you are or not!"

She ran over and grabbed the dagger, "Now I will fight you without mercy as you killed those I loved with the same!"

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico grabbed Siobhan by the shoulders, shaking her harshly. He tried to pry Ashtyn away from her as he hissed, his eyes narrow and alert.

"-SIOBHAN! Get a hold of yourself! Kisho is finally returning to a desirable condition and you're prepared to harm another!"

Unico couldn't budge Ashtyn, ( He's a snake, not very strong n.n;; ) so he pulled Talison behind him. His eyes poured over Ashtyn and Siobhan with utter disgust. His voice was dry and cynical.

"Why is it now I find you have a sister? I would have believed something like that was worth noting. I suppose I wasn't important enough to inform..."

He snarled his words, his green and blue piercing eyes barely visible under his silver hair.

"..Still, I find your sister lacking. You where Adrianna a second ago. You said you needed my help, and I was more then willing to comply."

Unico stood, his hair making ripples as it fell off his shoulders. He cupped his elbow with one hand and rubbed his chin arrogantly with the other. He looked down on them, partially amused, partially annoyed.

"Yet, now I find you are not Adrianna. You are some one deemed Ashtyn. This is very odd. Do all humans lie like you? -or are you to have us believe you 'forgot'.."

A smile broke his lips. He was enjoying himself, oh, how he was. This was the ideal circumstance to yank Siobhan's chain. Yes, it might be a little cruel, but he was hoping it hurt Adrianna--Ashtyn, whatever its name was-- more. His dislike for this human grew the more he learned. Now, Siobhan had yet another to comfort her. When its not Kisho, it will be her long-lost sister.

"Kisho..." Unico jerked his head around. How was he doing..? -and what was that racket coming from downstairs?

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan's anger only grew when Unico retorted. The human part of her personality was now locked away for the time being, the caracal in her didn't want her to be hurt by anything it might do. After all, why hurt your own carrier?
Siobhan slapped Unico across the face hard, her voice still growling.

"Don't you even DARE think that I don't believe that you're not important to me, Unico. I hold you in the highest regard. Didn't you even hear me?! I didn't even know that she was alive myself!"
She unwrapped her arms from around Ashtyn's back, and the blonde-haired human scooted as far away from the feuding 'couple' as she could.

Siobhan turned her head to the side, her eyes shut tightly, and a snarl gracing her small mouth. When Unico accused Ashtyn of lying, that broke the last strand.
She jerked her gaze back to Unico, her pale green hair flipping over her shoulders.
Putting all her power into her long, slender legs, she jumped at Unico, and tackled him to the ground, pinning his wrists with her hands.
Siobhan looked directly into his eyes, fear, anger, and desperation filling hers.
She shook her head slowly, the length of her hair caused it to drag across the floor.

"Why do you hate me so much?"[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico hissed, but didn't even attempt to get Siobhan off him.

"I hate YOU?! You are quite mistaken. I've never even considered striking you, yet nothing keeps your hand. That's not holding someone in high regards, that's pure loath."

With each heave of his chest, his voice became softer and softer, until it was nothing more then a conceited taunt.

"-If you so wish, hit me again. I long for this treatment only the most dear to you succumb. Perhaps you'll try your furry out on Ashtyn..?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan shut her eyes tightly again. His words had finally made her come to a decision about her next move.

'I guess I'm going to leave now...'

She did the first thing in her heart, but the last thing in her mind--she lowered her head, and kissed him. It wasn't forceful, or promiscuous. It was heartfelt.
Letting go of his wrists, she sat back up, and looked at him.

"That clenches it. I'm leaving in the morning."[/font]

[Nami]

Affinity narrowed her eyes, this was getting bothersome. Alexandra.. where had she heard that name before... it was scrambled in her brain and she couldn't find it as the girl came back at her full power. "Alright, you wan to get tough.." Affinity transformed, her tail grew longer, her ears popped from her head and the fox fangs grew. "Let's go!" she snarled her tail swishing behind her, ready to kill.

-------
Kisho felt it, something bad was happening. He almost stood, he almost went to Sio's side... but what did she need him for? She had Unico. Kisho slouched back into the corner and closed his eyes, Unico... Kisho sat up straight, he couldn't stop that feeling, that terribly dreadful feeling.

Kisho scrambled from his room, leaving the loud music to boom from his open doorway. He ran down the hall and past the fight between Affinity and Kianna, not even glancing, until he reached Sio, Unico, Talison and Ashtyn. "What the.." he said looking at the scene, he felt his heart drop when he saw Sio kiss Unico, he stepped back, feeling as if someone had dug a dagger into his soul. His eyes steeled over and he stared at Sio... with a look that could be read as nothing more than pure betrayal and icy cold distrust.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan stood up and walked over to Kisho.

"Don't worry. It wasn't a love kiss. It was a farewell kiss."
Siobhan placed a hand on his cheek, and laid her lips lightly against his also.

"I don't love anybody anymore. I can't."
She looked over to Ashtyn, and the girl walked up to her older sister with confusion and sadness written all over her face.

"Let's go, Imouto."
That was when they stepped out of the room.
Leaving both loves of her life behind, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She bit her lip when she thought of the arrogant Unico, that could be very sweet when he wanted to, and the introverted, yet gallant Kisho, who saved her in her time of need.
She thought of her "daughter", Talison.
She thought of all that she would leave behind, and shook her head.

'Never again will I cause pain.'[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho watched her, he didn't know what to say or do. There was really nothing he could do, in all those movies when the hero let the heroine go.. he always regretted it and so did the heroine, he looked at Unico, "Get off your royal butt! We need to stop her idiot!" he snarled grabbing Unico off the ground. "Let's go!" he pulled Unico out the door and fled after Sio, "SIO!" he growled.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan ignored Kisho's yelling, and sped up her walking, hoping to leave before they could catch her.

Ashtyn was beside her all the way, but was pleading for her to stop.

"No!"

She turned around to see Kisho directly behind her, and started to run.[/font]

[Nami]

"SIO!" he shouted again, still dragging Unico, "Stop!" he reached out and grabbed her arm pulling her back towards him and hugged onto her so she couldn't get away. "You can't leave! Who's going to cook? Who will take care of Talison? Who will me and Unico fight over if you leave! If you leave... you will hurt us more!"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]"Feh. If I never came here in the first place, you wouldn't have had anything to FIGHT ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

She struggled to get away when she glanced at the wound she made on his hand when she tried killing herself.

"I DON'T WANNA CAUSE MORE PAIN!"[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho released Unico and hugged her, "Stop it Sio... You're not causing pain. Sure some people are being jerks to you... but some people actually care about you! You can't leave... the ones that care." he said trying his best... it was hard, he had never been good at being nice, but he hated the idea of her leaving forever.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino linotype"]Siobhan scoffed, trying to think of anything that would make them leave her and Ashtyn alone.

"What makes you think I care about any of you in the first place."
Siobhan was about to say something else, when she caught the crying face of Talison from behind Unico.

"Ma...ma? Do you...really mean that?"
Siobhan looked at her in sadness, then stared into space, out the window of the far observatory.
She wrenched herself away from Kisho, bowed, stared straight into his eyes for a good two minutes, and did the same for Unico, then walked down the stairs.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho stared at her, he knew those words were false. "Darn you Sio! You are always so stubborn! You make me insane sometimes." he walked down after her and got in front of her, blocking her in. She couldn't go around him in this tight stairwell and there wasn't any railing to jump over, just walls on either side, which made it easier for Kisho.

"Why are you leaving? Because you don't want to cause pain?! Well you've caused it! And isn't it selfish to run away from something you did?! You should stop running and take the darn responsibility for it!" Kisho wasn't shouting, not in the least but his voice was firm, he was tired of seeing people like this.. sick of seeing people run from what they had done... he wanted it to end.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino linotype"]"That's the effect I have on people."

Siobhan slumped against the wall and slid down to a sitting position, placing her face in her hands, and leaning forward, her elbows on her knees.

"No, no, I can't stop running..."[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho reached out to her and wrapped her in a hug. "Sio, everyone's running from something... but there comes a time in people's lives when we have to stop and think about it... why are we running? And when we find that out, we need to fix the reason why. It's the only way we can keep on living without hurting the people around us."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]"...I'm afraid of people hating me, and I'm afraid of causing pain."

Siobhan buried her face in the crook of his neck, but still kept her arms wrapped around herself.

"I can't..."[/font]

[Nami]

"No one hates you here." Kisho whispered gently, "and if anyone does.. then they are hating the wrong person. You won't..." he tucked his face into her hair, "You won't cause pain... don't... don't leave." he said holding her tight, but not to tight, he didn't want to hurt her.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan slipped her arms around his back tightly.

"I won't...cause pain?"

Talison ran over to Ashtyn and started crying quietly, Ashtyn hugged Talison, and wiped her tears away with the hem of her shirt.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho shook his head, "No, you won't." he said, it was a promise, he would keep it. She would never hurt anyone, he would make sure. Because he didn't want to lose her, he wasn't sure what they called this emotion.. it was strong. But at the time Kisho wasn't sure if you could call it love just yet, but more like the pathway to a love that was extremely rare these days.

[Kunoichi]

Kianna watched as the girl transformed. She smiled, a full blown smile, "Finally, you take me seriously."

She felt her body release to her anger and transform. Her body grew larger to fit its form. Now a six foot tall wolf, with a growling mouth and large body, she charged.

Her anger fueled her. She aimed for the throat.

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico slid down beside Kisho and Siobhan, wrapping his arms under his legs. Tilting his head to see them, he softly spoke.

"Siobhan, please, I'm begging you to stay. I know, I cannot fill the void that your sister or Kisho can, and it seems like at times that I don't want to..."

He lowered his gaze to the floor, mumbling.

"..That's a lie, Siobhan. A facade. I want you to stay, We need you, I need you."

Unico rested his head against Siobhans. He let his ice-cold hand run through her hair as he soothed.

"-I believe Kisho and I share the same feeling for you.." His eyes darted over to Kisho. "Though, I doubt he would admit it."

Unico leaned towards her ear, whispering to her.

"-and this emotion I feel is much more then Brotherly Love.."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan let her eyes close dreamily as Unico's fingers ran through her hair, he could do anything right now, and she wouldn't care--her scalp was extremely sensitive.

When he made the comment about having more that brotherly love, she turned to look at Unico, herself still under the effects of his hand.

"But why? What's so desirable about me that you both like me?"

Naturally, she had never had this happen before.
"But, is your need for me more than your patience with my faults? If this happens again, which it very well might, will you help me?"

She closed her eyes again, and leaned her head against Unico's.
"Why me?"[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho looked at Unico, and watched the way Sio leaned into him. That's right... Unico is better for her, so don't you dare get in the way. Kisho shrugged, "I just care about you. Anyway... if it did happen again I would help you. At any costs." Kisho sounded so casual now, like he had never been passionate about anything in the first place.
