Back to ze past

Mori grabbed Taro by his shoulders and yanked him back, only managing to do so once the blonde had gashed Takeo.'s chest. As soon as he was pulled away he drove his nails into Mori's side, ripping through his flesh and scattering blood through the air. He yelled and backed up, but the vampire's eyes were once more set on Takeo.

Elizabeth laughed as sshe opened the door to her home, her children behind her.

"Mori. run. Wake Hikaru, Now!"
Takeo said backing away slowly, keeping his eyes on Taro

As soon as the door opened Shade's head snapped around, eyes wide with panic. Rin didn't bother concealing a small smirk, looping her arms around Shade's shoulders and leaning against him. Overall it was one of the worst situations he had been in by far, and he'd been in a few. His shirt was unbuttoned, his hands on another woman's waist and not to mention that he had been kissing her when his wife walked in.

--------

Mori grunted and ducked away to crouch beside the female kitsune. "Hikaru, hey? Wake up! Can you hear me?" His eyes darted franticcally fromm hikaru to Taro.

Taro darted forwards, dodging easily past Takeo and forcefully twisting his arm up unnaturally high between his shoulder blades before kicking him sown to the floor.

Elizabeth froze, her eyes growing wide. She couldn't even form words but who needed words when her eyes said it all. "I... Ahh... I'm... Oh god." She said, covering her mouth.

"Mummy?" Evelyn asked, looking inside. Her eyes grew wide. "Dad?!"

Elizabeth turned around. "I think I left my... Just..." She closed the door behind her.

Takeo screamed as his shoulder dislocated
he tossed a shurikan at the vampire with his other hand
trying to crawl backwards at the same time

Hikaru groaned
"Oh, my head!"

"No time for that!" Mori said and helped her into an upright position. "It got Taro."

The shurikan missed by about an inch, but it made taro duck back and fall into a crouch. He snarled visciously, eyes flashing a deeper red Within half a secoond he was standing over Takeo, hissing. He swiped his claws down, aimed for the kitsune's throat.


-----------

Shade shoved Rin away from him, stumbling back and cursing in a manner that would put the guards back at his origonal home to shame. "Elizabeth!" He charged out thhe door. "Wait, it's not what it... it's not what you think!"

Takeo threw his arm up to protect himself
"HIKARU!"

Hikaru's head snapped up,
"What is it? Mori tell me what it is?!!

"Not what I think? Not what I think?!" Elizabeth exclaimed, turning to look at Shade. "I walk into my home to see my husband kissing Mori's lover. What am I meant to think?! Your shirt was undone, your hand on her hip and I..." She buried her hand into her hair. "I walked in! I saw it!"

"She caught me off guard!" He said, positively mortified, running a hand through his hair. "I... I didn't know what to do! I didn't want for that to happen!" He pleaded. "Just listen to me! I wouldnt, would never do something like that to you! She cornered me!"

-------

"Something that's after Takeo!" He said and ran back over, tossing a dagger over the blonde's shoulder. He intended for it to miss, which it did, but it distracted him long enough for mori to tackle him to the ground.

"Do I mean so little to you? Does our family, our children mean nothing?" Elizabeth asked, her voice going shrill. "Why?! Why are you doing this Shade?! No... No... It seems I gave you one more chance too you. I should have never let you back into our childrens lives or mine!"

"Elizabeth, please I'm begging you!" Shade said frantically. "Trust me! Please just trust me! I didn't do this!" Rin stepped lightly out of the house and smiled haughtily before walking off to the tavern.

"She kissed me!"

"Oh yeah! REAL helpful Mori!" she complained as she got to her feet
she strode over to Taro and ripped him off Mori
"Is it just me or is your aim getting worse?!!"

"Its an Onryo!" Takeo gasped

"Thankyou!"
she picked up Yuni's bow which was lying on the ground
"Lets nail this bitch to the wall"

Elizabeth looked away, not wanting him to see her cry. "I gave up everything for you. My life, my home, a world I was accustemed to and you, you can't even say no to a Whore!" She yelled after Rin. "I am a stronger woman then I was and believe me. When I bear our next child he will not know of his father for his father did not think of him wwhen he wished to couple with another woman!" She was yelling by now.

"If you shoot him... Polo amor de Deus" He cursed. 'Does either of you want to even try and do this without killing someone?!" He ranted. Taro circled them.

------

Shade moved closer to her, face grief-stricken. "Elizabeth, I, you don't mean this!" He grew suddenly angry. 'I did nothing wrong here, I was caught off guard, a fair thing to happen! I would never do something like this behind your back! The very idea you would take the child away from me... Why is it so easy for your trust in me to fail?!"

"I want to believe you, oh god I want to believe you." Elizabeth said. "But how can I when the image in my mind shows time insted of spontanious action?How could you do this to me?! How could you?!" She looked about for something to throw. "Do I mean so littleto you?How could you not see what she wanted?!"

"Oh don't be such a baby Mori! I thoought you had more backbone than this!"
Hikaru scolded

"You weren't so damn reluctant when it was Hikaru kickin' your arse! And we're not going to kill him you fool!"
said Takeo

Hikaru loosed and arrow

Taro grabbed the wooden arrow midair, snapped it and threw the halves to the floor, turning on Hikaru with a snarl. He bared his fangs and leapt towards her. Mori yelled in alarm.

Hikaru moved to defend herself but was bowled over but the attacking vampire
Takeo ran to help her

"Elizabeth," He started, stepping forwards. "You're everything to me! I would never, ever cast that away! No matter how she was acting, I let her in as Mori's lover, nothing more! Should i be questioning your feelings for me, if you can so easily turn on me for something some woman did?! You don't trust me at all, do you?!"

-------

Taro grabbed hikaru around the neck, raising her into the air in frornt of him and squeezing his hand around her throat. He snarled and his eyes flashed. Mori ran forwards alongside Takeo.

Elizabeth slapped him hard across the cheek. "You neve question my feeling for you, do you understand? Not ever! You are the only man I've ever loved and will ever love. Do not turn this onto my trust. I could understand if it was a rumor I was questioning, but this was a sight!"

Hikaru choked and kicked at the blondes face
she called her kitsunebi to her hands in an attempt to burn his hands and in doing so loosen his grasp
Takeo smashed him over the head with the hilt of his sword

"She forced herself on me. What do you want me to have done? Hit her?" He snapped. "What you saw only took place for a fraction of a second. I refuse to lose you over something like this! I wanted none of this!" He made a wild guesture with his hands.

--------

Taro cried out and relenquished his grasp on Hikaru, letting her fall down as he staggered back. his red eyes flicked back to their normal colours and then he doubled over holding his head as they flashed black then red. Mori was quick to help Hikaru up and force her to move from Taro's immediate vicinity, the black and bllue bruises on her neck already forming.

Hikaru coughed hand held her throat, bending to pick up the bow again

Takeo grabbed hold of Taro and slammed him against a tree holding him there

Elizabeth covered her mouth, a sob breaking through. Tears rolled down herc cheeks and she couldn't even talk.
