Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo was clutching at the side of his chair, his fingers white and shaking, as he tried to gain control over his body once more and stop the two men from fighting.

Hasta smirked, "but he was enjoying it, kitty. what's wrong, haven't you been giving the poor man any attention? he seems so despite, are you incapable of taking care of your so called 'mate'. if it's too much for you, why not let him find release at the hands of a man able to actually satisfy him?"

"H-Hasta," Leo panted, looking at them with slightly glazed eyes, "Enough. I-" he looked at Elliot, but seeing the possessive anger in those silver eyes made his situation even worse. "El-please, i need-" he shivered and licked his lips, forcing himself to not finish the sentence in the way his body wanted him to, "i-we need to go to our room."

Tsume tried to remember, "i'm not sure, actually. i was a little preoccupied at that moment. trying to keep Ipo from killing you and whatnot. but if she sis, it would be somewhere near where she took flight. let's just get you some heavy-wear though. if you are going to be riding me, it's going to get cold."

Hasta's eyes widened as he felt the hit actually connect. it was easy to break free and jump back, though. he glared at the prince, his eyes narrowed, "that was pretty good, boy. for a sucker punch. let's see if you can fight like a real man." he slipped into the posture of the most prominent Falian style of fighting, one unknown to the rest of the world, and smirked. "bring it pretty kitty."

Leo felt his stomach drop, "please don't. stop it, don't fight." he didn't want there to be any more conflict today, he was too tired (and too damned horny) to deal with it right now. "Hasta, Elliot, stop it!" he was standing now, gripping the table to keep himself upright, but his body definitely did not want to cooperate.

Tsume shook his head, "well, lucky for you i've something you can use. though i don't use it often, i do have a heavy cloak that i brought along. it's more for show than anything but it's warm and it will suit you nicely." he lead the way to his room and rummaged through his single bag for a little bit, actually reaching in clear to his elbow, before finally pulling out the heavy cloak. "here we are. it'll be a bit big on you, but that'll be perfect. you can just roll it around yourself and you'll stay warm." he hung it over Kashi's shoulders and smiled, "An old Falian spell has been cast on it. it keeps the wearer at the exact temperature they are most comfortable at no matter what the weather. waterproof, of course, and it has a thick hood that won't get blown down by the wind, my personal favorite part."

Leo gave up, "just don't kill each other," he whispered before sitting back down. he didn't want to touch another bite, but he'd been given and order and he was long used to obeying orders that he didn't want to. he started toe at, doing everything he could to ignore the two other men in the room, knowing that watching them wrestle with each other, their bodies clashing against each other and then breaking apart, sweat dripping from their- he shook his head, forcing the image out. just eat. focus on eating he told himself over and over as he mechanically chewed his food and swallowed.

Hasta frowned, "where did you learn to fight, boy. has leo been teaching you?" no, that stance was too well practised for it to have been Leo teaching him. could it be possible that the prince knew their fighting style? he lifted an eyebrow, "well, let's see how well you can use it-" he twisted himself on one leg and kicked the other out, not expecting it to connect in the least.

Tsume brought the hood up and over Kashi's head, tugging it over his eyes, "don't underestimate me, Kashi. i'm a wolf, i've thick fur to keep me warm. besides, with you sitting on my back, it'll be like carrying a heater throughout the run. you, however, will get sick if you endure that cold in nothing but what little you have on so stop your worrying or i'll give the cloak to you as a gift and make you accept it, understood?"

Hasta followed the kick with a jab to the middle, testing the extent of the boy's knowledge. "you fight like a Falian..." he threw another punch follower by a kick, judging the boy's moved. "more specifically, you fight like the snow leopard clan. your parents? you're a lynx, so tell me?" he jumped up to dodge a blow and grabbed the prince's arm, throwing him slightly, following with another jab, "how did a lynx learn to fight like a leopard?"

Leo turned, his eyes wide, and actually watched Elliot fight. he'd never seen the man fight hand to hand before, but to his shock Hasta was right. "how-"

Tsume very, very lightly smacked the back of Kashi's head. "right, and having your mind all muddled by a cold will definitely help you survive said homicidal brother. you need to take care of yourself, despite your apparent refusal to. but i guess you've never had anyone worry about that sort of thing with you before, have you?" it was sad, in a way. Kashi had always been alone, even when Ipo had been made, Kashi was still completely and totally alone. they were near the entrance now and Tsume looked back towards the dining room, "your prince is full of surprises, Kashi." he chuckled before stepping out and shifting. "climb on, you don't weigh much. i could easily carry you for a couple days and not notice."

Hasta huffed, "well that's worthless. what good is she to me dead?" he rolled his eyes, actually annoyed she was dead and he unable to interrogate her. "your father and uncle know this? do they know who taught them?"

Leo'd fallen into the worse kind of trap. by turning, he now got a full view as the two men spared, feeling this arousal from before come back in full force. "by the spirits-" he whispered, swallowing hard. but now that he'd looked, he couldn't look away.

"Weave your fingers into my fur, it'll kept them warm and you in place," Tsume instructed as he started to slowly walk towards the forest. "apparently he knows one of the fighting styles from our country, something we didn't think possible. do you have any idea if he's had contact with our people before now?"

Hasta jumped back, glaring at the prince. "you really think you are on equal footing with me, don't you? you're just a little kitty cat where as i am a full blood demon. a demon who's leader of the demonic shadow clan! you really think you can defeat me?" clack lightning crackled along his skin as his power began to grow.

"No!" LEo stood up, getting a little dizzy, but he ignored that as he hurried to stand between the two men. "Hasta retract your power, i forbid you from taking on your true form in such a petty battle. he knows our style, such a thing is not unheard of." he glanced at Elliot, "the panther clan is known for it's sages. mayhaps the man who taught your mother foresaw the need for her to learn their style and left his people to teach her. things like this have happened in the past."

Hasta growled, the power receding, "yes. Reta being our most recent example of that. we should not make such a mistake again and destroy the knowledge once and for all."

Tsume smiled, "i told you i'd be fine. you can lay back down, it was no bother. actually it might be safer too since you don't have to worry about branches." they had reached the tree line and Tsume turned, running around the castle rather than away from it now.

Hasta snarled, "the entire army? this is exactly like then. mark my words, if your people become another Reta i shall lead my clan against you personally." he looked at Leo and smirked, "but for now let us call an end to this. my beloved Leo can't seem to control himself. unfortunately it shall have to be you to help...ease his need, but remember-" he moved right up into Elliot's face, pressing Leo against the two of them, his hips flush to his beloved's a**, "it was me who put him in this state, not you." he laughed and disappeared, going back to Falia to check in with the people there and speak to the panther clans.

Leo bite back a moan when he was pressed between those two sweaty bodies. "Elliot-" he gasped softly when Hasta left them. his eyes were desperate as he looked up at his love, "please-"

Tsume slowed a bit, "i can't really answer that. there's been such a variety of emotions..." he slowed down further, now just trotting instead of full on running. "When he was a babe, all i could feel was overwhelming gratitude towards him. i was free from-from that man and Leo had saved my life. i could feel his joy, his sadness...emotions for a child are so much strong than those for adults. it took a while to adjust and figure it out. and then as his power and intelligence came forth, all i felt was pride. i shared a soul with someone powerful, with a man who was going to rule our people. i knew he would be a kind and benevolent rule, like his mother and father, but to know i had such a link with him-" he smiled but the smile quickly fell. "But then the night of horrors came. Leo was taken away and our link shut down. i knew he was alive, i refused to accept his death and so i spend the next 6 years raising Nix and hunting for him. It was Nix who confirmed that Leo was alive, but she couldn't tell us where he was and any venture into Reta was suicide." that hadn't stopped him, of course. he'd made run after run, looking for his prince. "since finding him again i've been too relieved and angry to fell much else. he seems to have pulled himself together and to be doing alright, but he's still so broken, so shattered inside it's painful to see. especially for me who knew what he once had been and could have become-" he shook his head, "he still can become it. he still can be that man, but it's going to take a lot of work..."

Elliot was angry. Leo could tell from his eyes, the way he moved, the way he kissed him-Elliot was so very angry and it was Leo's fault. he couldn't control himself, couldn't stop the need that consumed him. several of his masters had enjoyed using drugs to put the bentiens into a sexual frenzy and Leo felt as if he'd been given a dose of the strongest kind. they entered the bedroom, their clothes ripped as they were thrown off, and soon fell to the bed as a tangled mass of limbs and moans. he couldn't help himself, even though he knew this was making Elliot more and more angry, Leo couldn't stop. he'd never hated himself more than he did at that moment and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Tsume smiled, "he has that effect on everyone. which is why i cannot understand how anyone could do such horrible things to him...i've seen peeps. little looks here and there when his defenses are down and even i grow sick at what little i've seen. how could anyone do that to another person, let alone someone like Leo? i just don't understand..." he shook his head and started running again, "Don't tell him, but i'm grateful to Elliot as well. he's saved Leo. i don't know he'd be able to recover as well as he has without Elliot's influence."
