⊱ Kesiom felt the light running around his wound, he felt her energy repairing his muscles and skin. Eventually, his breathing began to become normal, and his eyes just remained closed. The wound closed, but he had still lost a lot of blood. He wouldn't be able to move for a while, but he slowly reached his hand out, wrapping it around hers. "Thank...you...for saving...my life...I was ready...to let go, but you..." he couldn't finish, his breathing trying to still regulate itself, but he hope he got his message across.

xxxxKeiko blocked everything out of her head other than her task at hand. She would not let him die here, not like this. Just when she felt her vision go blurry, his hand raised and clasped hers. He was alive! Her tense body loosened, hunching forward almost to the point she fell over, but she caught herself just in time. She felt weak and exhausted, but guessed she probably felt a lot better than Kesiom did. She smiled down at him, not even realizing she had been crying until she felt a wetness on her cheek. She quickly wiped it away and shushed him, "Don't talk, you're still weak. You lost a lot of blood." Her mind raced for the next move. She wouldn't take him back to Kiko's, her first reaction would be to attack and then ask questions. She couldn't leave him here, whoever that man was knew how to find him. And then, an idea. Still keeping hold of his hand, she closed her eyes. With what energy she had left, she transported them both into the living room of her apartment. It was only three floors down from Kesiom's, but at least it was something.

⊱ Kesiom felt the energy around them change as they were suddenly in her apartment. He opened his eyes to briefly look around, working overly hard to prop himself up on his elbows. The apartment fit this bubbly, beautiful girl he knew to a tee. Looking at her, worry immediately crossed his mind. He used a bit of adrenaline to push himself the rest of the way up, leaning slightly over to caress her face with his hand. "Are you...going to be alright?" he asked quietly. He felt his energy returning faster than he thought it would. He definitely couldn't stand up, but small movements didn't hurt.

xxxxThe way Kesiom was acting now...it seemed like night and day from the man he had run into yesterday. Whatever walls he had placed himself behind, Keiko had gotten through them to the real person underneath. She smiled weakly, shaking her head, "I'm just...exhausted." she admitted, "I used a lot of energy, but I'll be fine." In Keiko's opinion, she should be asking him that, but he appeared to be gaining strength bit by bit. She wanted to ask him who that other person was or if her sister was in danger now, but for the moment she was trying to collect herself.

⊱ Kesiom smiled again before pulling his hand back, his gaze averting to the space in front of him. He was definitely feeling better, and he figured it had something to do with the fact that Keiko was so tired now. "I'm sorry...I hate how I've treated you, and other than a little scar I'll have," he said, rubbing the scar on his lip, ",you've been nothing but kind to me, even going as far as coming back for me, then saving my life. I can't even fathom how I could repay you..." he whispered. He slowly pushed himself to his feet, and caught the edge of a table as he stumbled. Taking a few breaths, he reached out his hand, offering to help Keiko up.

xxxxWith how much blood Kesiom had lost he should have still been asleep on the floor. But it was obvious he wasn't normal, and his body was recovering just a little bit quicker. He tried to stand, stumbled, but corrected himself to offer Keiko help up. She took his hand and weakly raised to her feet. "Will you stop hunting my sister?" she asked with a childlike hope in her voice. "You could work with us. Help us fight the others, and then you can have peace and make your own life." she had seen his true colors, his capability of compassion and emotion. He couldn't just turn around and go back to trying to kill her sister...could he?

⊱ Kesiom listened to what she said, taking it in. "I'm a traitor to my own kind now...I fought against those on my side to protect a senshi, and to make matters worse a senshi of Mars. I would no longer be welcome home by my family, and in result voids my original mission here on earth. I promise your sister will be safe from me, but I can't fight with you guys, not against my own people. I may be a traitor to them, but I am still their prince and I could never kill one of them...willingly..." he made sure to add on the last part, as his transformation was something that caused him to act more abnormal than usual. "You should probably return to your sister, she will be wondering where you are...I will find somewhere to stay tonight," he noted, smiling once more.

xxxxShe knew she was being too hopeful to think Kesiom would fight alongside them. She still had to offer regardless. Hearing he would no longer go after her sister made her feel lighter, as if a weight had been lifted off her back, and she let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

xxxxKiko had lost her cool about two minutes after Sno had left that morning, so of course by now she was probably throwing a fit as to where she was. Not to mention Solar had been dropped on the other side of the door during the battle, and probably ran back to the others to explain what had happened. "Stay here. Rest awhile. Leave when you want." If he tried to deny this she didn't let him. She leaned forward and then back, stretching herself, "If you're here when I get back that's alright, if not I expect to hear from you soon. You still need to tell me about who else might come for my sister." She felt if she had an excuse to see him again he wouldn't wander off. She had a fear of him disappearing and never speaking to her again. She took one last look at Kesiom, giving him that gentle smile of hers, and then she was gone.

---------

[******** FINALLY!" Kiko screamed as soon as her sister walked through the door. Jirou, who had finally sat himself down on the couch, almost jumped out of his skin at the outburst. Solar had come back just minutes before and tried to explain what had been going on but none of it made sense. "Are you alright? What's this I hear about you healing him?"

xxxx"Would you calm down and let me explain, please?" she felt like she had just run around the earth. Twice. She needed a moment to wrap her mind around what had just transpired.

⊱ Kesiom nodded as she turned to leave. He felt odd being in her apartment by himself, but it was better than being in his, waiting for Gabriel to come back and slice him up. He couldn't afford to transform twice in one day. Walking around, he made sure to avoid her room for the sake of privacy, and making his way to the sink he washed his hands, then proceeded to wash any blood off of himself that he could see. He also went as far to find cleaning products, cleaning up whatever mess he had left on the floor when they transported. When he was satisfied with his work, he quickly scribbled a note on a piece of paper he found, leaving it on the table before leaving the apartment, heading out the front door and began walking. He made a round about path to the park, finding a quite spot where he opted to just lay in the grass, staring up at the sky. It felt weird...everything that had happened today practically turned his life upside down, and he really didn't know what pieces he should try picking up first.

xxxxx Aleks mimicked Jirou's actions as Kiko screamed, nearly throwing himself off the chair he was sitting in. His forehead creased as he watched Kiko be Kiko, freaking out because it was what she did when she was worried.

xxxxx Sno had listened intently to Solar when he tried telling the story, and she had a feeling there was more than just one side to the emotions Kesiom felt towards Keiko. She refrained from voicing it immediately, but was also eager to hear what Keiko had as an explanation for healing the guy who tried killing her yesterday.

xxxxShe didn't even know where to begin. Part of her wished Solar had kept his mouth shut for awhile so Keiko could have a moment to think before being bombarded with questions. But they were a team, they all deserved to know. She walked over to the couch and sat on the opposite end of Jirou and placed her elbow up on the arm, dropping her chin in her hand. "He's not who we thought he was." she started, knowing Kiko wanted to say something but she had enough respect to bite her tongue. For now. "His mother ordered the original attack on Mars. She became obsessed with finding you, Kiko, and using your sword for evil. Kesiom grew up resenting you and the sword because of her and thats why he wanted to kill you. To stop the war. To stop his mother."

xxxx"Well that's ******** up logic." she huffed, crossing her arms and plopping herself in a seat in the kitchen. Keiko rolled her eyes, "It's true. He's not a child of evil, he was just raised around it. He...he protected me. Someone from his home planet came to...well, I'm not sure what. But he stabbed him and then came after me, but he stopped him." He had a conscience and a soul, that much was certain. "He betrayed his own kind to protect me, and he swore to stop hunting you, Kiko. He is not our enemy. The ones he associated with are. And they're really, really strong." That, in Keiko's eyes, should be their main concern. If Kesiom's directive was to find Kiko and destroy her, she could only imagine what the other's mission was.

xxxxx As Sno listened to Keiko talk, pieces fell into place. It really did make complete sense as to why he was the way he was, and to why he turned so quickly. He also was royalty in his world, so the people coming now to...do whatever with Kesiom were guaranteed to be formidable. "So basically what you're saying is we need to have a talk with him, figure out who these other people are and what their strengths and weaknesses are. And as a side note, I will tie you up myself Kiko if you try hurting him. That's the last reason he would give us any information is with you threatening his life," Sno scolded.

[shigatsusan]

[Ⓚⓘⓚⓞ//кєιкσ✩ღнιиσ AKA Sailor Flame // Sailor Light] &[ ʝȋʀɸϑ♞тsυץυ]

xxxxSno was smart to threaten Kiko, because she immediately protested the idea, "I don't want him anywhere near us! Are you crazy? He tried to kill Keiko yesterday! Did you guys just forget that or something?"

xxxx"No one forgot, Kiko. But I'm telling you the truth. He's not our enemy. Not anymore. We need information and he has it." Despite the sense Keiko made, her sister was still very against the idea. But she was out numbered. Jirou hadn't said a word but Kiko knew he agreed with the rest of them as well. She grunted in frustration, mentioning something about how everyone had lost their minds but her. Keiko pretended she hadn't heard, and turned her attention back to Sno, "He was pretty badly injured, we won't be able to talk to him for a little while. He's avoiding staying in one place so he can't be found again before he can get his strength back. In the mean time, I suggest we prepare ourselves and stick together." There was definitely safety in numbers, and these new enemies were no doubt battle smart and knew to pick off one by one rather than go in and charge the whole pack.

xxxxx Sno nodded and stood up. She had missed her night class that night, but it was still light out and she wanted to relax. It was a stressful day and there was always one place she loved going. "I'm going to grab my items and head to the beach at the park...I need to go for a swim..." she said, then looked at Jirou. "And for your peace of mind, I would love it if you came with me," she said with a little grin, heading back into the bedroom and grabbing her towel. She came back out with a baggy blue t-shirt on and short blue daisy dukes on. They were one piece of clothing she loved at the beach, since they were easy to come off and let her suit breath underneath.

xxxxx Aleks leaned back in his chair, twidling his thumbs in the air above his head. He could very well return home, but he didn't want to leave the girls, especially Kiko, tonight.

xxxxAfter the day they had it was no wonder Sno wanted to go somewhere to relax. The corner of Jirou raised in a slight smile and he bowed his head a bit, "It would be my pleasure." He had no plans to go in the water so not having a swim suit didn't bother him. Kiko seemed to trust him a bit more now because she didn't insist going along with Sno. She was content with letting her go with Jirou. Instead, she made her way over to the couch and sat where Jirou had been. "I need a nap." That was an understatement, Keiko felt like she could have slept for the next ten days.

xxxxAfter Keiko excused herself, Kiko glanced up at the two before they left, "Be safe.
