[Gin And Ginger]

Cloud had returned to his home, exhausted, and in no mood to speak with anyone.

Auror returned to Deasha, surprising her with a back massage. "I'm here, and I won't have to leave again."

[Dark_Queen_Suka]

Herb Bread

Aria blinked when she heard the boy speak, having been focussed on getting her and the boy out of the cold and finding the cafe` which made her favourite hot chocolate. "Oh, it is nice to meet you Akira." she replied, as they walked together. "I'm Aria." she added, smiling over at Akira. "So, have you ever tried a hot chocolate before?" she asked.

Akira watched Aria as they walked and he couldn't quite understand what made her seem so.... Cheery. It wasn't something he was used to. Being alone most of the time made things much simpler and it was never confusing. "No. I've never tried it." He replied his eyes dulling to grey slowly.

Banshea stirred lightly with Takeshi, waking slowly. She realized he was still with her, and smiled. So I wasn't dreaming... she thought happily as she nuzzled into him.

Takeshi felt movement against him and he slowly woke up, opening his eyes to see Banshea next to him. He smiled faintly and kissed her forehead lightly, then closed his eyes while wrapping his arms around her tightly. "Morning. Sleep well?"

[Zane the White Fox]

zane kissed her on the forehead. "sleep babe. im gonna go to the store and pick up some things. ill be back?" with that zane left the mansion and started walking toward town. he stoped for a moment, looking at naminie's grave. he smiled sadly and moved forward again, passing by the lake and into town.

[LovelySA07]

Deasha cooed at his touch, her body seeming to show how tired she was. She smiled softly when he spoke. "I...I love you Auror..." she said gently. She seemed to press her body against his hands, into the massage, moaning slightly at the different pressure points he was hitting.

Banshea smiled and leaned up to return his kiss. "Better than I have in a little while, love." she spoke gently, her warm breath caressing his lips, while hers still danced there lightly. She cooed and rested her head on his shoulder, enjoying being in his embrace again.

Alexxia tossed and turned, her dreams replaying the fight she had seen, and her poor friend, if she could call him that, screaming in pain against that being that she watched die. She suddenly dreamt of an attempt on her life, as if watching that being fall through that door cause her to shift into him, falling into another buried memory. She was tied to stakes, her clothing resembling that of the pioneers, a linen underdress that tied beneath her chin. It was tattered and torn, and very dirty, scrapes on her body from having been dragged. She began to choke, the smell of smoke and sulfur overwhelming. People began to turn their backs as she began to burn, screaming in pain at the heat on her back, more than anywhere else, suddenly going numb as her nerves were burning up as well. As the people she had called friends turned their backs she shifted into a bird, flying out of the fire, still crying out in pain as she flapped her wings. She woke up, her scream reverberating around her. She felt her back and found what remained of those burn scars, and realized there was no heat now, except for the comfortable one from the bedding. She settled back down into bed and fell back asleep, still exhausted from not sleeping for days.

Celiana looked to Zane, her eyes going a bit more dull, the color almost draining out slowly, as she still sucked at her wrist. She looked exhausted but was unable to sleep, and besides, Xander was in the bed now. She nodded, still unable to speak, staying curled up in her chair, and not making any motion to move. She sighed and suddenly felt pain in her chest, her broken rib beginning to make itself known. The way she was sitting was just so, and even Zane couldn't see the blood stain on her corset. She whimpered and laid her head back, trying to control her breath so as not to aggravate the pain. Her eyes slid closed, and it appeared that she was already slipping into sleep.

[Zane the White Fox]

zane entered the market and bought some food and an advance first aid. he knew celiana had a broken rib and thats partiatly the reason he came. once outside, he teleported to a another area far deeper into tokyo. he walked into a shop and was approuched by a cloak figure who handed him a long sword wrapped in a black clothe. "....thanks" zane whispered than returned to the main street, heading toward the mansion with his groceries.

[LovelySA07]

Celiana stayed in the chair, her face changed now, showing the pain. It seemed that once she began to feel it, it all set in fairly quickly after Zane had left. She barely made a sound, and her breathing was very ragged, but she didn't want to wake Xander. Soon she realized she smelled her own blood, and not from her wrist. She touched the spot where it hurt and came up with slightly reddened fingers. She really had put herself on the line this time, worse than before. Was this a sign of her motherhood? She smiled a little at the thought that this meant she was a good mother, though the smile quickly changed back to a wince as she inhaled. She hoped Zane would be back soon.

[Zane the White Fox]

zane walked back into the mansion and stoped in the kitchen. he put everything away and went upstairs with the first aid and entered his room. "celiana...im back. how do you feel?" he asked walking up to her, and sat the first aid kit down

[LovelySA07]

Celiana opened her eyes and looked at Zane, pain filling her expression. Her breathing was still very ragged. She shook her head, still unable to speak, and now it was from pain. She whimpered as she tried to inhale again, and she lifted her hand to show him the blood, but then motioned toward Xander on the bed, signifying that she didn't want to disturb him.

[Zane the White Fox]

zane understood everything. "dont worry, i got a few things for that. now lets get that off and bandage you up, okay?" he smiled, motioning for her to stand if she could.

[LovelySA07]

Celiana winced and uncurled herself, setting her feat on the ground with a whimper. She stood staggeringly, holding onto Zane as she faltered after getting to her feet. She looked at him, tears streaming down her face. She could scarcely hold herself up. How did I carry Xander back here like this?! she thought to herself. She tried to steady her breathing and slowly straightened up a little, undoing the busks down the front of her corset. As the corset fell away after a few long, painful minutes, she inhaled slowly, the blood flowing a little faster now, the rib slightly sticking out of the skin, a large gash beneath it running from her side to nearly her abdomen.

[Zane the White Fox]

zane swore seeing the wound. he acted quickly, focusing his energy in his hand. he placed it on the wound and slowly moved the rib bone back into place. once that was done, he went on to put healing ointment on the open wound, cleaning it first, then wraped her torso tightly with bandages. then he helped her sit down again. "dont move to much or it will open....ok?"

[LovelySA07]

Celiana squeaked in pain as he relocated her rib. She winced when he applied the ointment. As she sat back down her hand on his shoulder, tightened it's grip. She began to weep slightly and nodded, trying to relax back into the chair. After a few minutes, her breathing seemed to regulate. "Th-thank you, love" she whispered looking up at Zane, her grey-green irises still rimmed with a light red, her blood lust not entirely subsided. She looked exhausted, and slightly pale from her loss of blood.

[Zane the White Fox]

zane smiled. "no problem." he saw the bloodlust in her eyes and walked over to xander. he looked in his sons pockets. "i know i smelled it....ah, here it is" he pulled out the unicorn blood and looked at it. "how he got this i dont know...but im sure its okay to take a little" he pulled a glass and poured some of the unicorn blood into it. he then handed the glass to celiana. "unicorn blood. damn rare now adays. it should help" he said with a smile.

[LovelySA07]

((sorry I disappeared for a minute...I had to go get something to drink...it's going to be a long night...))

Celiana looked at him, her face softening as she took the glass in one hand, the other running lightly over the bandages. She nodded almost in a bow to him. She sipped from the glass, her eyes adjusting back to their normal grey-green state. She sighed and leaned back. "I bet it was from that girl..." she said softly, taking another sip of the silver liquid.

[Zane the White Fox]

"i was thinking that myself. her eyes....she might be a changling. that might be the best reason. unicorns are rare...." he sighed, and looked at xander, who was still asleep. "im surprised he survived that mental assault. he really is unique" he said softly
