Merrick
-------
Kýojin cocked an eyebrow slightly as he sensed the demonic energies vanish abruptly as the unusual energy burst faded away.
Kÿos smiled faintly. "That would be immensely helpful, milady," he said with a faint shrug of his shoulders. He kept a slightly loose grip on Kitai no Getsui, but didn't draw the sentient blade again. "Demons are little more than lost souls... ambitious, yet at the same time extremely foolish because more often than not it isn't power that comes from killing... but usually power with age. That it what demons fail to realize; Strykerius has been around for, judging by the time when I was sealed, roughly 12,400 years, so he is quite strong... though there is something else very few know about him that is true," he said quietly. The indigo sheath faded to a subtle crimson tone near the end, though he didn't really seem to appreciate its beauty, or so it appeared. He was keenly aware, however, of Kitai's beauty as well as the skilled and cunning if gentle spirit within.

Constance leaned against the counter after she stuck the dish in the oven. It wouldn't take long to finish. Really all it needed to do was heat up and melt the cheese. Rosalyn shrugged her shoulders lightly as she saw Jin's look. It was a good thing they didn't have to go out and deal with the demons. It seemed that someone else had done that for them already. ~~~~~~~~ Amelia listened quietly to Kyos as he spoke. She had known he was very old, but had not realized how old. She herself was older than she looked and acted, but nowhere near him. "There are several others here in the house," Amelia said as they walked together to the safe house. "Myself and the other coven leaders had gotten together to decide what was to be done about our predicament. We've also picked up some friends alone the way." To her great surprise her headache was already fading away.

-------
Merrick blinked as the mashed sweet potatoes bubbled up as he warmed them up, making sure they were done. He didn't, however, see the large dollop of it that had landed just above his right eye that was starting to run down his face in thick streams. as he turned to grab a few plates.
-------
Kýojin snickered when Merrick rocked back slightly, obviously unaware of the half tablespoon of mashed sweet potatoes that had landed on his forehead. He could see Constance noticing it and trying hard not to laugh at it since the orange-brown potatoes clashed with Merrick's silvery hair horribly.
Kÿos shrugged slightly. "I'm not as old as you might think; I was only 1,400 years old when I was sealed... for however long," he said with a shrug. "My brother, however, is about twenty or thirty years older than Strykerius," he said quietly. It said a lot, however, that he still looked twenty three or twenty four at his age.

Constance held back her laughter as she saw the mashed potatoes land on Merrick's forehead. She was surprised he hadn't noticed although she did notice that her mother and Jin saw it. "Baby," Constance said softly as she walked up to Merrick, "You got something on your face." She reached up and wiped the potatoes off his face. She lowered her hand to show him what it was. Rosalyn smirked as she saw the food fly onto Merrick's face. He seemed completely oblivious to it until Constance wiped it off of his face and showed it to him. ~~~~~~ "Well, you are looking pretty good for being that old," Amelia said with a small smile. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks before she shook her head and continued on. "I am nearly five hundred years old myself." Witches did tend to live longer than the typical human, but not near as long as she had been alive. As they neared the house the door swung open for them.

-------
Merrick blinked a couple of times when Constance spoke before she wiped something off of his forehead. "Huh, I guess the potatoes are fighting back," he joked with a teasing smile. "I'm frankly surprised you didn't decide to lick it off," he teased her.
-------
Kýojin glanced to the side when the door swung open to reveal Amelia a few feet from it along with a man close to half a foot taller than him, which made him blink. He knew instinctively that this was the inhumanly potent source of power they'd all sensed.
Kÿos chuckled. "Trust me, it was strange thinking I was human... yet watching things change and grow around me," he said quietly. He wasn't going to reveal that he'd taught a couple of demons and gods how to access unique weapons made from their own souls. He could sense immediately at least six users of said weapons could access and use them. Hmm, ice, lightning, fire, darkness, light, and one of the rarest elemental affinities... twilight, he thought, sensing each spiritual weapon instinctively.

Constance chuckled softly as she shook her head. "Maybe when there aren't others around." She took the plates from him to set them on the table. As she set the plates down the door opened and Amelia stood in the doorway with a stranger. Rosalyn's gaze moved to the doorway and frowned when she saw the stranger with Amelia. He looked familiar, as if she had seen him before. Sometimes it was hard to place people with how old she was and how many people passed through her father's home while she still lived there. Amelia hadn't realized there were others in the kitchen. She should have known, but she was distracted still by the fact that she could see with her own eyes. "Hmm, something smells good," she said as she stepped into the kitchen and moved to the side to let Kyos in.
"Well you have perfect timing Amelia." Constance said with a smile. "Merrick and I were just cooking and it's almost done."

-------
Merrick grinned as he he gathered the plates of food though he didn't comment on Constance's reply as he settled them onto the table.
-------
Kýojin tilted his head slightly, wary of the stranger though he sensed from the man's stance he meant no harm.
Kÿos tilted his head as he stepped into the kitchen, his hat scraping slightly on the top of the doorway though when he realized it wouldn't fit he took a half step back and flicked it over his shoulder. It hit something in the shadows with a wet crunch as a demon seemed to melt out of the shadows, the concealed razor sharp blade within the hat impaled into the demon's chest as he dropped limply to the ground. As the demon dropped, he stepped into the kitchen, his silvery hair seeming to burn like molten silver in the light.

Constance's head tilted to the side slightly as she looked at the man who had entered with Amelia. She could sense something different about him, but couldn't place exactly what it was. "Well I hope that everyone is hungry. There is quite a bit of food," she said as she moved to the oven. She put some mitts on her hands as she opened the oven and pulled out that dish. "Starving actually," Amelia said, still keeping the glasses on her face. She didn't show surprise as Kyos killed the demon so easily, seemingly as if it was by accident. The door shut behind him, leaving the dead demon laying on the ground outside. Rosalyn shifted in her seat slightly as the man entered the kitchen and the door shut behind him. She knew she wasn't uncomfortable with him being here, but something was bothering her. She couldn't place her finger on it. She smiled as Constance brought her a plate of food. "Thank you, Constance."

-------
Merrick glanced towards his mother-in-law, noticing the slightly troubled look on her face. "You get the sense of deja vu around the guy too, eh?" he said quietly as he settled at the table.
-------
Kýojin exhaled slowly; he knew in his gut this was one guy he wouldn't challenge to a fight since this guy's power made his look tiny.
Kÿos tilted his head slightly, shifting Kitai no Getsui as he seemingly stowed the beautiful katana in his jacket though when he pulled his hand out it was empty.
-------
Hyomai came down, sniffing the air. "What is that smell? I can tell the food... but there's something else here that stinks," she said with a slight grimace.

"Yes, I do," Rosalyn said with a nod of her head. She managed a small smile at Merrick as he sat down at the table. He was a nice young man. She was glad that he was her son-in-law. She began to eat slowly, pleased at how good everything tasted. Constance and Merrick really could cook quite well. "Here you go," Constance said as she handed a plate to Jin. She could see that he had made her mother happy, and she was glad for that. After she had given him a plate she went to fill up more for the other two who had entered the kitchen. Amelia moved over to where Constance was. "You don't have to do that you know. I can take care of us. You go and sit with your man," she said softly. Constance smiled and nodded as she filled her own plate. "Okay Amelia." There was something different about the woman, but she couldn't place it.

-------
Merrick shrugged one shoulder. He wasn't sure what bothered him about the guy; he could tell he wasn't a witch nor obviously a demon and he didn't seem to mean them harm.
-------
Kýojin exhaled, remaining quiet as he took his plate.
Kÿos glanced towards the grimacing woman who had spoken before he shrugged. "Probably me; last time I took a bath was a very, very long time ago," he said with a shrug.

"Silly me," Amelia said with a shake of her head. She should have thought of the fact that he had been locked down there for a long time. He probably felt terrible. "Let me show you to the restroom so you can clean up." She set down the plate she had picked up. Constance sat down next to Merrick as she looked over at the man again. She gave a small shake of her head as she ate her food. She didn't want it to seem like she was staring. She was just curious. Rosalyn ate her food silently, still trying to place the man and where she had seen him before. She hated this feeling of deju vu sometimes. ~~~~~ Carolyn quickly put on a pair of blue jeans and red shirt with sleeves that flared out as they reached her wrists. She turned to look at Kasumi with a smile on her face. The woman was simply amazing. ~~~~~ Cassandra put on a floor length, forest green shirt with a matching top. The fabric was silky and soft, hugging the curves of her body. She knew that Lorcan was watching her and she dressed slowly, knowing full well what it would do to him. ~~~~~ "I like that outfit," Merida said with a grin as she closed her eyes. As she did so she was immediately clothed in a pair of black pants and a teal colored shirt.

Kasumi grinned as she flicked her fingers, the kimono that materialized around her starting as a brilliant gold around her throat and wrists though it was a deep bronze that faded to a deep amber, then crimson by her calves over the sandals she wore.
Naruto chuckled as he shrugged one shoulder. "Haven't worn it in a very, very long time," he said with a shrug.
-------
Merrick tilted his head as he started eating.
Lorcán shifted, well aware that Cassandra knew exactly what kind of effect she was having on him.
-------
Kýojin glanced towards the guy, not seeming bothered as Amelia spoke.
Kÿos cocked his head in a slight nod as he followed Amelia; "I've felt better, though it's been quite a while since I've been somewhat clean; there's one area where I was bound that effectively acted as a natural sauna," he said quietly.

Carolyn smiled as the outfit appeared on Kasumi. She held her hand out to the other woman. "Beautiful Kasumi, simply beautiful." The woman stunned her with how caring and beautiful she really was. ~~~~~ "It looks good on you." Merida said as she linked her arm with his. She leaned against him slightly as they moved towards the door and out into the hallway. She could hear someone, actually two someones walking towards them. ~~~~~ Amelia led Kyos down the hall towards the rooms. "There should be plenty of towels and shampoos and body washes in the bathroom. This room will be yours until you decide you want to leave here." Amelia said softly. Her head tilted to the side slightly when she heard other voices and footsteps coming towards them. ~~~~~ Constance ate her food quickly, the food seemingly just vanishing from the plate. The food had been piled high, but she was still so hungry. Rosalyn couldn't help but smile at her daughter. She had the same appetite that she had when pregnant. She reached over and touched her daughter's hand. "Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are eating too much. I dont' know how many times I heard that when I was pregnant with you."Constance smiled at her mother. "I won't."~~~~~~~ Cassandra chuckled as she stood up straight and flipped her hair back over her shoulder. She inclined her head towards the door. "Ready to go?"

Kasumi smirked slightly, taking Carolyn's hand gently. "And you're breathtaking," she said with amusement.
Naruto cocked an eyebrow slightly as he too heard the duo ahead of them though he recognized Amelia's voice.
-------
Merrick tilted his head thoughtfully as he got Constance another plate of food. "I can say that it's highly unlikely that I'd say something like that," he said with a snicker.
Lorcán chuckled as he shrugged one shoulder slightly. "I don't see why not, dear," he said with a chuckle.
-------
Kýojin wasn't surprised, though in fact he had also gotten another plate of food.
Kÿos tilted his head slightly. "I am unfamiliar with the items mentioned; towels I know, but the rest I'm not so familiar with. Unless I'm mistaken it is one of your friends and a Kitsune," he said quietly, not revealing how he knew that fact.
