Suru winced as though he'd been slapped, actually baring his teeth for a second.
"Go to Lacuna, Jak. Talk it out with her. Fix it. She wants it . . . and you want it."
His voice broke again, and he shuddered, turning to move towards the stairs, shaking all over as he walked.

Sunray Tristram Something inside him uncoiled. "Ah...yeah. I could understand that." He fiddled with the apple core a little more, casually glancing up when she mentioned a tough guy. "So...you know the type you want. There must be plenty of guys that fit that. They must be all over you..." He had turned his head away before completing that statement...then he felt stupid for saying it outloud.
"No, not really. I don't get out much, and even if I did . . . ."
She paused, swallowing heavily. She raised a hand to massage her right shoulder, softly, shhuddering.
"Even if I did, damaged goods don't do well on the market, so to speak."

"I cant fix it....."
Tears started in his eyes and he blinked them back.
"I tried...all I saw was sadness in her eyes....I think I need her more than she could ever need me..."

This time it was Saber's turn to stiffen. Damaged goods? Had someone hurt her? He muttered something under his breath but tried to remain calm about it, just in case he had gotten the wrong idea. But one thing he couldn't stand was a girl getting hurt. "Uh...how do you mean by that?" His voice sounded a little strained but he kept himself under control.

He stopped, fists still clenched at his sides, and hissed, sharply, trying to contain pain and anger and speaking too fast.
"Well, Jak, one of us has to let go of something they love to make the other two happy. She was there first, so I'm the one letting go of-"
He bit his lip, and cringed, realizing what he'd said, and sighed, unclenching his fists.
"Goodbye, Jak. Go to find Lacuna, she'll be looking for you, probably."
She looked up at him, violet eyes sort of dull, clouded. Sh didn't speak, but looked down at the grass and shrugged the right shoulder of her top off. There, on the back of her right shoulder, was a scar, the cursive initials L.Q.

Glancing back to her, he saw the initials and had to resist running his thumb over the scars. He swallowed and shifted again. It really wasn't his business to ask what happened and it probably would have been rude to do so. Instead, he just sat there in silence for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts. "Did you do that to yourself?," he asked, his voice just above a whisper.

Stunned by what Suru seemed to be saying, Jak stood up. He searched Suru's face. "But...you...Laci...' his voice trailed off.
"This really is a mess..."

She laughed softly, wishing he'd touched them. No one, not even her sister or brother, had ever touched her scars. They were something abhorrent, to be dismissed, something to be forgotten about. She shrugged her sleeve back up, murmuring,
"Do you really think I could reach that? It's a little bit of an impossible angle."
She shook her head and smiled, weakly.
"Sorry, sarcasm . . . . I didn't do that myself."
He laughed softly and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah it is, isn't it? But I'm making it a lot easier for two people I care about very much."
He looked up, green eyes crystal with tears.
"Go home Jak."
He turned and started towards his room.
(( ninja If you REALLY want to start Hell, have Canti and Po come out.))

Jak followed Suru up the stairs. "Please...dont do this..."
Po opened the door of Canti's room once more, his arms around her as they kissed, pushing into the hallway.

Saber swallowed again. Ok, she hadn't done it herself. He should have realized that. "Some one did it for you..." Now he was nearly trembling with anger. Through out the past, he had beaten up a lot of guys for mistreating girls...and even had some scars to prove it. "A possessive guy, maybe? He hurt you..." He itched to go home, grab a few swords, and hunt the guy down.

Suru laughed and threw up his hands, turning back to him on the stairs.
"What do you want me to do, Jak? What do you want me to say? If she stays with me, then you and I both hurt. If she goes with you, you two are happy. What other choice is there for me?"
Canti giggled, shirt not on at ALL this time and followed Po out, trying to pull him back in.
"Baby, come on, just a little more, pleeeease?"
Ophelia winced at the sound in his voice and closed her eyes against tears.
"I wanted him to."
She sniffed, sharply and opened her eyes, blinking rapidly. When she spoke again, it was loud, too loud, and her voice sounded thick.
"Lucius Quinn was . . . the first and only guy that ever looked at me. Ever. Really, anyway. I mean, that way, you know? So . . . so when he got . . . posessive . . . . I didn't mind. Because if no one else cared, I should be grateful . . ."
She chewed her lip, roughly, and trailed off.

Po pulled her toward the stairs, seemingly unaware of her lack of clothing."Food love. My angel needs nourishment. I promise, we'll grab something from the kitchen and come right back up."
Jak looked up at him desperately.
"What if its not me she wants? What if there is another choice? Something we can all live with?"

He turned back to her suddenly. "Opheliah...I won't lie. You're a damn sexy girl and I'm sure...no, I -know- that he couldn't have been the only one to ever look at you." He wanted to grab her, shake her...do something to comfort her. "Don't ever be grateful because that guy...all guys like that...is a b*****d and he deserves what's coming to him. I'll kill him myself if I could..." He growled to himself, knowing that he was pushing it too far. A girl being forced into something was bad...but a girl who just accepted it because she knew nothing else made his heart shatter.

Canti laughed softly and shook her head,
"Nnnnooo, come back, we can eat later, I'm not hungry."
She started to tug him back, but spotted Suru on the stairs, and Jak beyond. Her face went beet red and she froze, lettign out a miniscule squeak, that was, forrtunately, in the middle of Suru's next blast at Jak, and, so, went unheard.
"Like what, Jak, what? A threesome? Please, GODS tell me that's not what's on your mind because you know that isn't fair, it isn't right. She's different from us, she couldn't take that. We can't treat her like that."

Lacuna walked to Suru's front door a bit nervous and flushed. She bit her lower lip confused, this was the only place she could think of.. She bowed her head and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
