Kisho looked up at Sio, "You don't need to be sorry....It's not you.." he tried to smile, but his lips wouldn't move up. So he settled for hiding his face again. "I'm... not as good as Unico is..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan huffed and placed her hands on her hips.

"Don't you dare say that, Ki-kun. I won't have it!!"

She rubbed his back and frowned.[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho chuckled, "It's true... Unico and you both know it.." he sighed, "Unico.. he is the brave one.. I can.. only kill" he whispered the last part, his skin produced goose bumps when she rubbed his back, it was comforting. It was nice to know someone was there.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan sighed.

"So what. I can only hurt, so we're the same."

She smiled sadly, and shook her head.
"Que sera, sera."[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

"Kill? What do you mean by that?" Unico's skin tingled. Now he remembered, there was a faint smell of blood around. Unico uneasily stroked the back of Kisho's head.

"Has anything... happened?"

Unico glanced over at Siobhan. Why is our entire house falling apart? He leaned his head against Kisho again, speaking softly.

"Kisho, Siobhan and I need you the most now. I know, this is rash, but someone is trying to take her away from us."

Unico grinned to himself, realizing this wasn't the time nor place to poke fun at one another.

"-and he is most certainly not an admirer such as we."

[Nami]

Kisho felt Unico's hand on his head, he sighed, "...You don't understand.." he whispered, "I.. I killed them.. all of them! Woman and children! Men and young adults, all of them.. they are dead.. all because of me!" because Unico was in front of him he gripped Unico's shirt harder and tucked his head into Unico's shirt, the pain was streaking through him and he had no other way of releasing it. "Someone... wants.. Sio?" he paused and choked on a sob, "...what?" he whispered.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan opened her eyes and nodded at Kisho.

"It's true. My previous caretaker at the Cross Orphanage--where me and Ashtyn live at before, Mr. Marion Burnois, is blackmailing me to come back. I took something of his, and he wants me to come back under all circumstances."

She inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly.
"I stole a photo of my sister that was his. Ashtyn was the pride of his orphanage. He told me in a letter that he has 'evidence' that I 'killed' her, and since he's is who he is, the police will believe him over a rejected orphan."

She looked at both Anichi in front of her.
"You have heard of him, haven't you?"[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico tried to gently, unintentially, move Kisho's hands from his blouse. He shook his head at his friend and protested.

"No, that's not important right now.." Unico glanced over at Siobhan apologetically. He prayed she didn't misinterpret that. As if to change the thought, he grabbed Kisho and forced him into in embrace. Holding him tightly he cooed, trying to convince himself as well.

"Shh, Kisho. What ever you have done, what ever caused it... doesn't sound like you at all. Whats important is you're safe, and you can be forgiven."

Killed? What is this madness that has befallen us?! Kisho, what have you done..?

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan shook her head as an indication that she didn't misinterpret that.

The moved directly Unico and Kisho, and embraced Kisho from behind, laying her head partially on Kisho's back, and partially Unico's hands.

"No one is condemning you. It doesn't matter what you have done in the past, heh, believe me. All that matters is that you're sorry for what you have done. Then you can be forgiven no matter what."

It sounded funny to her own ears. She was counciling Kisho about something she couldn't accept herself.
'I guess that it's so easy for me to tell, but difficult for me to believe. So much for the teacher following his teachings...'[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho was about to answer Sio when Unico embraced him, it was a little odd, and all he could do was sit there and listen to Unico, "I... I don't think... I can ever be forgiven.. Unico.." he said slowly, Kisho shook his head, "I... I am worse than any other killer alive.." Kisho felt Sio embrace him and he felt the tears burn into his eyes, "Sio.." he choked on the tears that streamed down his face.

[Song_of_Storms]

"...."

Unico looked at Kisho and grinned.

"What's this? Siobhan reacts emotion, while I get none? I'm deeply hurt, Kisho."

Unico sat back on his legs and pondered. He gave a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes.

"Very well... what do we do from here?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan shook her head, and kissed Kisho's back.

"Shh...don't say anything...shh...."

She was being overly motherly, and she knew it. Hopefully, it would work.

"I..have no clue, Unico. I really don't know. I have to go, or I'll be arrested..."[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho sniffed, "You are a brat Unico." he muttered and then chuckled, "oh well.." he looked up and started to dry his eyes, he pulled away from Unico slowly, and sat on his rump. "...We should not let Sio get taken by those jerks.." he said rubbing his eyes.

[Kunoichi]

Kianna smiled, "thankyou." She saw the bandage put on, secure and clean. "I don't want to talk to the priest. I was just curious. I also wonder...what stops humans from seeing us here? I don't like humans." Her eyes grew distant for a moment, "Ya know...we should train sometime. I know some good martial art techniques!" She smiled, "I really like training!"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan shook her head sadly.

"It's impossible. He's going to take me, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. He's going to have me, or arrest me and put me on death row for 'killing' my younger sister. Either way, he's also going to evict the other guys here and put the orphanage up for demolition."

She sat back on her palms and shrugged her shoulders.
"That's why I was going to leave for his home, and then kill myself. So the reputation of this place wouldn't be completely tarnished. Because, all he wants is me back. He doesn't care how I get there."[/font]

[Nami]

Affinity looked Kianna in the eyes and smiled, "Sure, we should spar sometime." she ignored the whole human bit, personally Affinity had no problem with humans. "I am pretty good at Martial arts too..."

-----
Kisho turned to Sio and gripped her shoulders, "Unico and I aren't going to let any of that happen...Even if it means killing him." Kisho shuddered at the word and let go of Sio's shoulders.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan's eyes widened at the mention of killing someone.

"...."

She looked back down at the ground, shaking her head.
"He can kill you quicker than you can kill him..."[/font]

[Wind]

ooc: I am back thanks for takin care of my chracters while I was gone you did a good job Hana

and as Hana did in an earlier post I am goin to post an edited cuss word just fair warning to everyone

Talison came up and hugged Kisho,unafraid of what might happen and said
" I love you uncle Ki... you always helped me when I was down and you are one of the few people who still care about me..."
Ashtyn looked at her sister and said " I will not allow you to be framed sister... you are too important to me to allow something that didn't happen for that ***tard to take you away from me now." She looked at Kisho and Unico and said " I care about both of you too... I know I am an outsider but I don't care you four are the only family I got left and I won't let go of that without a fight..."She looked at Unico in particular when she said this and smiled a tired smile that only he noticed and then she collapsed to the ground with blood no one had noticed before dripping from a wound at her side.

[Nami]

Kisho stared at Ashtyn and then watched her collapse, "hey.. what the heck.. are you okay?" he asked sitting up straight, "I'll get the medical kit!" Kisho lunged out of the room and to the bathroom, getting the white box and coming back in. "Unico.. I am no good with this kind of thing." he said, watching Unico.

[Kung_Fu_Master]

OOC: Sad to say but I'll be gone all next week. Take care, I don't think Jericho will be doing anything soon. I like where this is going and I'll be ready for the next part when I get back. Chow.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan lunged and caught Ashtyn before she fell all the way to the ground.

"Ash, not again! NO!!"
Siobhan looked about frantically, her eyes filled with tears.

OOC: Take care, Kung-kun. *hugs*[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

OOC: See ya, Kung! 8D

Unico by now had taken Ashtyn from Siobhan and was resting her head on his lap. When Kisho came back with the medical box, he gazed at it, then shrugged at him.

"What am I suppose to do with that? Kisho, I have difficulting using a band-aid, I'm not the nurse at this establishment..."

He turned his head away as he gritted his teeth.

"-besides, I ...hate... blood. Siobhan..?" Unico was practically pleading with her. He sighed, and unfolded a soft cloth from nearby. He splashed some disinfected onto it, making him grimace from the smell. Unico gently began to pat Ashtyn's wound gingerly.

"Fine. I'll do it. -but if she doesn't get better, blame my lack of experience."

Unico ran his free hand through his hair. It was a habit he had become accustom to do, so now if he didn't, it felt awkward. He closed his eyes, his usual overconfident nature taking hold again as he reassured Siobhan with the utmost sincerity.

"Please, Siobhan. This gnarled old man (as Unico assumes) would be no match for us. While I don't entirely agree with Kisho's idea of killing, I believe we should talk to him. If he continues to make these accusations, then Kisho can do what he wants."

Unico was drying the wound now, avoiding its view at all cost.

"What is this demonio's fascination with you, Siobhan?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan became extremely uncomfortable at Unico's question, her eyes always focused on Ashtyn.

"...Besides truly wanting Ashtyn back...there is something, but..."

She leaned forwards, drawing her knees closer to herself, and wrapping her arms around them.

"Besides, he doesn't look much older than I, even though he is..."[/font]

[Wind]

Ashtyn looked up to the ceiling and then suddenly wrapped her arms around Unico's shoulders in a death grip " Please... please... I...I..."

[Nami]

Kisho watched Unico clean Ashtyn's wound, "..Don't worry Sio, Unico and I will definitely protect you no matter what happens." Kisho turned his head to Sio, "What is it that you want? If I may be so bold." he cocked his head.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan looked up at Kisho.

"Mr. Burnois wasn't the nicest person, as you can tell. He wants me back, because I took care of everyone there, but when I left, no one else could take care of them. He doesn't want to dirty his hands with the children."

She looked at Unico, but her eyes settled back on Ashtyn.
"...that's what."[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico tried to slip his shoulders away from Ashtyn's grip.

"-Gently, Darling. I like to have feeling in my body.." Meaning she was cutting off circulation. He closed the medical box, turning to look at Siobhan.

"Really, Siobhan. That buggers not coming near you. I don't care what he is, you're not going back."

Unico smiled, leaning forward so he was dangerously close to Siobhan. ( Barely keeping Ashtyn up )

"-or do you want to go back?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan's eyes widened and her nostrils flared as she glared at Unico.

"How dare you insinuate that I would want to return to him of my own free will."

She turned her head and snorted.
"I can't believe you."[/font]

[Wind]

Ashtyn looked at her sister and said" Sister if I need to go back I will go..." she released her grip partily on Unico " please I will...not... allow...you to be hurt again sister..." She passed out and Talison looked at Unico pleadingly " Please don't let my auntie die..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan pulled Ashtyn into her own lap, now both of them facing away from the two males.
She stroked Ashtyn's hair, and cuddled her little sister close to her chest.

"I will never let you go back. Never, you hear me? You will stay with me."

She held Ashtyn closer and began to shiver.
"Never."

Glaring back at both of them, her whispering was full of unintended spite.
"I hate you."

Siobhan didn't mean for it to be aimed at both of them, but that's how it came out.
She apologized to both of them in her thoughts, stood up, picked up Ashtyn, and started walked back to her own blood-stained room, her wrist beginning to ache again...yet not fully out of the door.
She silently wished for someone to stop her...

((Caracal's have very strong legs, so her arms and legs are powerful.....kay?))[/font]
