Kaguyo jumped at first, her heart seizing in pain comparable to getting stabbed earlier. "Watashi wa... Watashi wa...." she stammered, before shaking her head. "I.. I... I don't know, Ainsu..." She rose to her feet, her fear and weakness written all over her. "I can't go through that again..." she shuddered. "I'm never going to be able to sleep, not for months, years even... How do I know the Muse won't escape and try to kill me again? What do I do then, Ainsu?" She wasn't calling him Su-kun anymore. She was definitely very, very shaken.
Morrigan nodded. "Not sure..." "Here." Kazuhiko answered, hanging upside down above them. "I'm huuuungrrry..."

Ainsu was silent for a long moment, "Morrigan-san sealed the muse away. We will continue to seal him. I swear to you, Kaguyo-chan... I would rather die the most horrible and painful death imaginable, then to see you in such pain ever again..."
~ ~ ~
Laughing, Po-ar smiled. "You're always hungry, Kazu-kun." he teased. "What would you like to eat?"

Kaguyo sighed deeply. "We both could agree on that..." she whispered softly, crossing her arms. "I don't know, Ainsu... I don't think I can do that again." she whispered. "I don't want to risk it. I don't know if I can even look at you the same way anymore..."
Kazuhiko giggled. "Wellll.. Here-food." he decided. "What's there to eat from THIS home?"

The man moved onto the balcony further, coming to kneel before Kaguyo. "I ask your forgiveness, Kaguyo-chan... No... I beg your forgiveness... I tried to stop him, but it always seemed that the angrier I got, the more his control held. It wasn't until he was completely distracted by you... that I was able to overcome him."
~ ~ ~
Po-ar smiled, "Anything you could want, Kazu-kun. Well... to a certain extent."

Kazuhiko shrugged. "I don't know much about this world, Da... the Gods only taught me about Earth. I guess I'm still an infant as far as this world is concerned..." He was smiling though, the entire time. He didn't mind it at all. "I want something good. What's the greatest tasting, most different food that comes from here and not from Earth? Does chocolate grow here? You should import it..."
Kaguyo had involuntarily taken a step back, watching him closely. "Until you can control him completely, I cannot trust you Ainsu." she shook her head. "Just the same as I cannot trust Aled. I don't have the slightest idea of what I'm going to do..." she sighed deeply, "But I've got to get away from both of you. I can't take this. I really can't. I don't know if I can ever look at you the same without remembering that, Ainsu..." Granted, Po-ar could take her memories... "I think it's my destiny to be a hermit." she mused mostly to herself. "I've spent most of my life so far as one... Everyone I let close betrays me. Nearly kills me in fact... I'm thinking about leaving Tarnbsei, actually. Just taking some money, a few sets of clothes and non-perishables, and flying as far away from all of this as possible...." She was almost crying, but she seemed like she had good control. She wouldn't let any tears fall if she could help it; she was proud again. She wouldn't meet his eyes at all. "Somewhere peaceful..."

"Well... we have a food that's similar to one on earth... It's like manjuu... only... the inside is a sweet fruit center." Po-ar replied, thinking. "It's my favorite food actually. Kind of tastes like strawberries I'd say... except it's green on the inside."
~ ~ ~
Ainsu was kneeling on his knees, his head bowed, his hands in fists that supported him as he bowed to the woman. "Please, Kaguyo... please don't leave... I beg of you with my entire soul..." He wouldn't be able to bear it if she left. And the playwright knew this.

Kaguyo looked at him, clearly unable to decide. She helped him up for starters. "I am no one to be bowed to." she spoke softly. "I am no Queen, no one of great status. I was not born into a noble family---although it had some respect, before this fiasco---you need to be able to stand on your own." she sighed. But she didn't say much beyond this, moving to leave the balcony, her meal, and the man behind.
Kazuhiko tilted his head with a grin. "I want it!" he nodded enthusiastically. "SWEETS!" Morrigan laughed softly. "You can have that for dessert. Po-kun, I think he needs some real food." she teased softly.

"Kaguyo!" Ainsu called how to try and halt her for but a moment. "You are the strongest person I know... the strength of your heart and soul... that is enough to warrant reverence." he shook his head. "No other is more worthy of my respect than you."
~ ~ ~
Po-ar nodded, "And he shall have it." the man smiled. "Follow me. I'll make sure the cooks make something special, Kazu-kun."

Kaguyo paused for a moment, silent; she nodded once, her only reply. However, she continued walking. He should know by now that words meant very little to her, when actions spoke so much louder.
Kazuhiko laughed, following him happily. "Yesss!!! Sweets and food! Yum!" he climbed onto Po-ar's shoulders, hugging his head. "Imacited!"

Once she was gone, Ainsu collapsed to his knees. He stared at the useless limb, cursing it and the prophecy which told he would be the wielder of it's power. It would take some time before Ainsu felt quite like himself again.
Meanwhile... Aled found himself wandering the halls once Watari had been put to bed.
~ ~ ~
"Calm down!" Po-ar laughed, leading the way to the kitchen. "Which of the food groups do you want most, Kazu-kun? Aside from the sugary one."

"All of them." Kazuhiko replied simply, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
And, likewise, Aled would quickly run into Kaguyo, the woman's momentum hard enough to send her back down to the ground. She huffed and rose to her feet, brushing herself off before looking at him. But she didn't say anything. What could she say to Aled? "Excuse me..." she spoke quietly, trying to glide down the opposite side of the hall.

Shaking his head with a laugh, they entered the kitchen. Po-ar immediately set the cooks to cooking, taking his family into the grand dining hall.
~ ~ ~
"Kaguyo!" Aled replied, hoping she would stop. "Is... is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all? I want to atone for not being able to get here sooner."

Kaguyo paused for a moment, thinking. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Ainsu...." she spoke quietly, refusing to turn and face him. "I'm not going for either of you. You both.... I might have deserved it, I won't deny, but you both had my trust, and you both almost killed me... You, more times than Ainsu even. Like I told him, I feel this clearly means I need to get as far away from the both of you as I can... although, I may or may not leave the planet." She still felt a bit responsible for Ainsu's well being after all. "I don't think I'm meant to be with anyone." she shook her head. "It's taken me a long time to realize... but I was happy enough before you or Ainsu came back into the picture. Since everything got complicated with you both, I've been nothing but miserable... I'm not going to take it anymore."
Kazuhiko gasped. "WOOWWWW!" he looked around wide-eyed. "What's all THIS?!!"

"You're forgetting one thing, Kaguyo." Aled replied, turning the woman to face him. "You're married to me. As such, your place is here." He would hardly take no for an answer.
~ ~ ~
"Food." Po-ar replied, beginning to name off random meals and side dishes to the boy. None of them looked anything like Earth food.

Kaguyo looked at him, clearly insulted. "Are you going to try and keep me here against my will?" she challenged him, trying her hardest not to twitch. Her fists were quickly clenching. "I want a divorce, Aled. I don't want you, I don't want Ainsu, I don't want anyone." she jerked backwards. "Let me go."
Kazuhiko started trying EVERYTHING, floating above the table and sticking his fingers everywhere. The boy had quite an appetite, and made sure they knew which dishes he did and didn't like. .....Which....weren't many, the boy had broad tastes. "Why don't we have any of this on EARTH?!!" he protested to Morrigan, "Mum, this isn't fair!" Morrigan laughed. "I imagine..." She hadn't touched anything yet, curious.
