 Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... She was already pouring him a glass, walking over in her high heels and short skirt to hand him the alcohol. "I'm sure he doesn't hate you, Nikolai," she tried to say, sitting on the arm of the couch and setting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "He's just upset. He hasn't come into work at all since he broke off the engagement, so there's that. Leon's mourning you." She probaby didn't sound that reassuring, but she wasn't fully sure of what to say. Leon and Nikolai were the couple Kiyaka always thought would be together until the end of the universe, and even then wouldn't be separated. ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

  Guilt flashed in Nikolai's eyes. One hand took the glass while the other pinched the bridge of his nose to keep him from falling apart. " I should have told him." he said in a weak tone. " I should have followed your advice and told him about her. But she would've killed him and- I hate it. I just hate everything. I'm stuck with that wretch because she's still holding a knife against Leon's throat. Even if I were to win him back what about her? I've tried everything I could to stop her before. A nightmare induced coma, locking her up in Hell, numbing her legs and arms so she wouldn't be able to move. She just keeps slipping from those grasps! She'll do it again too! Oh, I'm too beautiful to marry her. Thank goodness I got a vasectomy all those years ago." he sighed into his glass before drinking the mind-numbing alcohol.

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... "Then maybe it's best Leon doesn't know .If he did, you know that he'd murder her," half-joked the woman, although she wasn't entirely wrong. Leon was only so patient, and this girl took too long to execute her plan. He was at the end of his rope, and if he knew that this was all her doing, he'd kill her. "you know, you could always ask for help. I'm here, I'm sure the other Sins are, maybe even Grigori if you ask him. Worst comes to worst, I can always call Mr. Grimsson here and you can summon up Leon's family." ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

" The Sins? Oh please, dearie, they're a mess." Nikolai drawled. " I'm not sure Greed and Pride can handle their hosts any longer, Envy's brain dead thanks to me, Lust and Wrath are off somewhere, and Gluttony alone can't stop her. Grigori, however..." The lazy Sin closed his eyes in thought. Miranda was the woman Grigori married. In fact, it was because of her that he was able to meet that strong Russian. If anyone knew how to stop her, it was Grigori, but would he be so willing to face his ex-wife? " Yes." Nikolai blinked at the voice he soon realized wasn't in his mind and looked over to see a familiar face at the doorway. It was the angel that took to looking after the very Sin, Grigori. He walked in and gave a half-wave to Kiyaka. " Sorry for intruding. I'd been waiting for a time to talk to Nikolai without her being around." he explained with a light and apologetic smile.

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... Kiyaka looked up from her friend to the angel, a smile appearing on her face. "Grigori," she greeted. "It's been a while. I trust you're here to help Nikolai get away from that harpy long enough to get Leon back?" ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

" That harpy just so happens to be my ex-wife, thanks." Grigori said with a strained smile, although he didn't look like he was offended. He looked back at the sad slump of a man that was Nikolai, his expression softening. " I've been thinking about it for a while, you know, this situation. I think I know what to do." he said while bowing his head. " Miranda's not natural. She's not a demon, an angel, she's none of those. She's more of a nightmare, a literal one. It's as if she were a ghoul that was given life from both of bad memories of her. Like a living poltergeist. I need to face that memory, I realize this now." he said. He opened his eyes and looked at the crestfallen Sin, reminded of their days in the gulags. " I'll keep her from chasing you. You worry about getting Leon back." " And how do you suppose I do that?" grumbled Nikolai. " Don't get me wrong, I'm super glad you're helping, dearie, and it would certainly help to keep that woman away from me, but what am I supposed to do to win Leon back? I'm not good at songwriting, I'll have you know." Grigori thought about it. " Well if you don't know what to do," He looked at Kiyaka. " Maybe a few others do."

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... She listened in silence, nodding when he looked at her. "I've got a bit of an idea," she admitted, having spent the last two days thinking about it. It wouldn't be hard, summoning up Leon's mother or father, would take even less time to get their blessing for the wedding. But the most important thing was the gesture. Leon didn't think what they had was really real, so Nikolai had to make it real. He had to get the wedding rolling. ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

" Well I'm glad you two are swapping secrets telepathically, dearies, but one of you is going to have to explain this idea to me." Nikolai drawled out dully. " Sorry." Grigori smiled apologetically. Nikolai was usually lazy, but now he was too lazy to even piece things together! Now that was something. " We're planning on summoning Leon's family." " Why?" the Sin asked with a condescending look on his face. " So they can yell at me too? Are you trying to make me an alcoholic, darling?"

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... "Because you need to get your wedding rolling," explained Kiyaka, standing beside Nikolai and struggling to put her thoughts into words. "Get permission to marry him. They're dead, there's no point in lying to them, so just tell them the truth and get permission to marry Leon. Choose a venue, make a grand gesture. He needs to think that you're completely serious about getting married and staying together forever." ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

Nikolai gave Kiyaka an exasperated look. Get permission? " I'm not taking Leon darling to prom." he scoffed, missing the point of the plan. " Why should I get their permission? Leon won't even be able to talk to them, how would he know? What kind of grand gesture am I supposed to make?"

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... She sighed, shaking her head and taking a minute to think about how to word this right. "Okay, think a second. Leon is old-fashioned, he's a country boy. If he's getting married, he'll ask the family's permission to marry his partner. It's how they do things. We'll resurrect his family long enough for him to see that you asked and they agree, and that they support his marriage. Have a tiny "I promise" ceremony with them surrounding you, promising to marry him when you're both ready and past everything, promising that you'll do everything you can to protect him and Aysun, and then bring up what happened with Miranda. We'll distract her long enough for you to do this. Do you understand now??" For such a clever guy, Nikolai was such a blockhead. ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

" Nngh, I don't want to." Nikolai griped as he lay face down on the couch. Grigori smiled despite the bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face. He walked over and crouched down, setting a hand on the Sin's back. " You care about Leon, don't you? You love him with all your heart, right?" he asked. There was silence, but Nikolai moved his face enough to show one eye glancing at the angel. " You've got to prove it to him. If you don't do this now, you'll lose him forever. Remember that pain you endured when you thought you lost him?" Nikolai flickered his eyes downward. Images of the snow and the burning cabin came to mind. Those hours he spent wailing and crying, the crushing pain he hid with a lazy smile. Was he willing to endure something like that again? And just because he didn't have the heart to try? " Very well, dearie." he said quietly and sat up on the couch. Grigori beamed and stood up to his full height. " Good. I'll go find Miranda and keep her in place. If she escapes I'll be the first ones to find any of you." He looked at Kiyaka. " I'm leaving him to you." he said with weight in his words. Giving a farewell nod to the group, he turned around and headed out.

Kiyaka Mayazaki Theme song It's not that I don't like you... With a sigh, Kiyaka walked to the center of the room and started to move the furniture away. "Unfortunately, a resurrection of this caliber is too much for our novice necromancer, so I'll have to do it. It won't be easy and I'll probably have to check into a hospital for a few days, but as long as it gets you sober and off of my couch." She smiled at her joke, then held out her hands. "Do you have anything of Leon?" she asked as the room began to hum. ...it's just that you're in my way. OOC:

Nikolai clambered to his feet, trying to picture what it would be like to meet Leon's parents. He was never good at making first impressions unless he was pretending, and that wasn't an option in this case. Would they hate him? Oh, who was he kidding? Of course they'd hate him! To take their precious son and corrupt him like that...! Nikolai already dreaded it. He looked at Kiyaka when she asked about having something of Leon's. He instantly thought of his precious ring and reached for it, only to be painfully reminded by the smooth skin of what had happen. " Oh..." he mumbled, eyes gaining their empty gleam again. Suddenly, an idea perked again. " Ah, that's right! Long ago Leon darling gave me a gift." he explained as he picked up his right leg. He reached behind him to pull back his slacks enough to see an ankle bracelet. After all these years he still managed to wear it every day. He took it off and handed it to Kiyaka.

The Court Family Taking the anklet, she swallowed back the lump in her throat and closed her eyes. This was going to really hurt. Chanting very quietly, her whole body began to glow, her hands lighting on fire as she clutched the anklet. It burned more than she expected it to, and she hadn't had time to prepare properly, but the hospital would take care of her. Her chanting got louder and louder until she was screaming the words, pain evident on her pretty face. A huge burst of light filled the room, and then the entire room went black. When the power returned, Kiyaka lay on the floor, the anklet in one of her hands. She was unconscious, but that wasn't the most amazing thing. Standing around her were a large group of people, many older and probably Leon's grandparents and ancestors. But the four closest to Kiyaka's body were considerably younger, their glows much brighter. There was a young man not much older than twenty-three, his hair very long and pulled back into a high ponytail. He looked very much like Leon, except for his blue eyes. Beside him stood a younger male, probably about sixteen or so. He too looked very much like the Neutralisa, with a happy resting face and wide purple eyes. There was an older man beside them, looking to be about thirty or forty. He looked the most like Leon, with his bearing and height. It was clear that he was Leon's father. He held hands with a woman aged around thirty-five, the odd one out. Her hair was loose and wavy, a bright orange contrast to the purple-haired men she was surrounded by. The four looked up, seeing Nikolai standing there. The woman moved first, hesitantly walking towards him. " Are you... Nikolai?" she asked, soft voice sweet and echoing a little. She stared at him, inquisitive blue eyes matching that of the long-haired man. Despite looking little to nothing like her family, her kind eyes looked almost exactly like those of Leon, leaving no doubt as to who she was. She was Leon's mother.
