Palace of the Immortals

[Willowmeana]

Hiroko stopped, feeling energies rise from within the Keeper, and then she stopped.
"Sissy, Hakkai-sama. I must go feed my friend or he's going to start some trouble. I'm sorry, I will be right back." She said, turning, she walked, using her now strange bond with Keeper to find him, and she found him.
"What are you doing?" she asked him, frowning in his direction. "Come. I have something to show you, something you may actually like." She sighed, hating what she's going to have to do. "It'll satisfy your hunger..." she added, to ensure his interest. She held out her hand to him, offering for him to take it.

The keeper stared at her for a moment his muscles flexing and then releasing over and over again "you do a lot of running around Hiroko, so many tasty guests...think of all the things i could do to them back..." he twitched the dark light of his true self glowing in the pits of his eyes once again "...home" he did however take her hand, his own already starting to drop in temperature very slowly. "this better be most amusing little cat, for my meal is waiting for me and i wouldnt want to keep him waiting"

[Hakkais_Truth]

"Oh? Then perhaps we'll get the chance to talk more later," he would respond with a kind smile.

The shadowy form would slip into the palace flitting from shadow to shadow as it trailed Hiroko.

[{Sorry haha. I was playing word bump and dude...
I got up to 28 levels. ♥ }]


"Oh. Then who is he?" Rose said, tilting her head slightly to the side. "Maybe I'll never understand you." She said with a chuckle.

My family nearily dead, the ones I live for are my husband, Seth Kurokota, and my children. Our lives aren't quite normal. However, we work like a team.

Hiroko smiled, and tenderly patted his hand when he took hers.
"You will eat no one in our home silly man." She said affectionately, her voice a purr. "Not when I already have such tasty treats lined up for you to devour." She promised, and lead him to the back of the palace, through the back doors of the garden. She lead him through the gardens and out to the edge of the forest, some ways away from the palace. A small stone hedge awaited them, it was covered with vines and Hiroko released Keepers hand, not at all bothered by his temperature. She touched the tone, and the vines dropped away, moving themselves to nearby trees.
"Now, no more cluttering our Summoning Stone." she told them sternly in a motherly voice. She then closed her eyes and focused, and unleashed a power from within herself. The power at first, lashed out, causing a breeze, but then it trickled back to her and focused.
"Naughty magic." she said playfully, her hand glowing. The stone was shaped as the head of a god, and its eyes suddenly glowed red.
"This stone will attract stray souls from within this realm. But only the souls that you should devour. The ones that deserve your torment, my beautiful Keeper." she said softly, as the trees lit up around them. "And since there are more bad people then good in this world, you will always be fed, content and happy, and fat if you so wish to be." Hiroko laid her head upon the warm stone, and stroked its nose affectionately. "It steals the souls from these horrible humans, straight from their body." She whispered. "So they are fresh, new, and still full of what you so crave for, and to survive." She turned and smiled at the Keeper then. "Do you like my gift to you?" she whispered, leaning against the stone casually as the first few orbs of souls came from within the trees, and began to hover around the stone, and her, illuminating her in their soft light.

"He would be me and I would be him," he would reply with a smile as he turned his gaze back to her after responding to Hiroko. "Now now, never is a long time."

By this time, the child would be sitting there regarding the teddy bear with a tilted head. Then, while straightening his head, the bear would roll over backwards to come back up on all four of its legs.

"Oooh... So there is two of you now... Great." Rose winked and laughed.

"Perhaps more," he would say in an amused manner before shifting his view towards the child as the teddy bear pounced towards the child. He would shift his right eyebrow up as the child moved his arms in a circular motion and pushed the teddy bear into one of his sleeves.

[The Grim Armorer]

He paused staring at the head his hand falling away from hers touched its face lightly his maddened grin slowly returning to that of sanity of the well fed as his lips parted the smallest wisp of a soul escaping for just a moment from the head before falling back into it. "ahhh Hiroko this is a gift most grand" he moaned the words as if speaking to a lover before his mouth opened this time revealing razor sharp long fangs instead of any ordinary teeth that had looked so perfect in his mouth before. Then the sounds of screaming and begging erupted from the statue as several souls were dragged from its protection there fingers digging into the stone until there nails snapped and there wispy forms were sucked into his awaiting mouth, the tormented voices only ended when his mouth closed "and there souls shall be shackled to the walls of the under world for all eternity, oh how i will enjoy tormenting them" his eyes now full of new light flicked up to the woman whom had made this possible for him while his power sat in captivity. This time the voice of Bane did not laugh for it was not in pain he felt emotion this time, instead he moaned in horror as Bane realized he had opened new doors to enjoyment to the keeper. "Perhaps Hiroko when you die i shan't tear at thee body for all eternity after all"

((yhahah he's so cute. xD))

The shadowy form would sit upon a tree branch a bit back from the two as they spoke. While watching the events unfold, he would merely shake his head in disgust.

Rose Kurokota

Rose laughed and looked at the smaller Hakkai. "Awww. He's so cute. Were you even like this when you were younger?" Rose asked. She didn't mean to make it sound like an insult.

Hiroko looked away, her ears flattening against her head, she did not allow the Keeper see her wince in sorrow at the screaming. She yearned to save them, but if they were horrible enough for the Stone to deem them worthy of being stolen from their bodies, they more then likely did not deserve it. She blinked back her tears, and put on an emotional mask of happiness. Turning back to the Keeper she tilted her head at him respectfully.
"That is most generous of you." she said softly, looking up at the sky. She wanted to fly away, use her wings to get away from the screaming, the begging, the nails that scraped, yet unharming of the stone. But she did not yet trust the Keeper to leave her daughter's Goddess Soul alone. She turned back to the Keeper, wanting to run away. Her instincts were screaming. Keeper was so...dangerous. But she instead, stepped calmly gracefully from the stone, and curtsied to him. She was angry, with herself, but what was she to do? Bane sacrificed himself for her, for her family, for the realm. She looked up at him, only one tear slid down her face as she smiled at him kindly.
"I do hope you remain satisfied with my gift, my darling Keeper." She said softly.

"No, I never could have been without shifting myself into a smaller form," he said with an amused smile as he watched the child extend his right arm and the teddy bear, which had disappeared into the sleeve of the left arm, come rolling out of the right sleeve.

Trinamarhai woke then, her brother Terom asleep on Sheena's lap. Hiroko looked around and saw another little boy, playing with a moving teddy bear. The little one year old with black fuzzy ears, black tail, shimmering silver locks and emerald cat eyes, the spitting image of Hiroko (despite the hair color difference) hopped off the couch and approached the boy silently.
"Hello." She said in a friendly tone, sitting down across from the boy. "My name is Trinamarhai. Hiroko is my mommy. She calls me Rina or Trinny. You can call me that too if you like. What is your bears name?" she asked, blinking, her big emerald eyes peering curiously and delightedly at the little moving bear.
