Welcome to Gaia! ::

Light beamed onto her face and she stirs till she opens her eyes"Gods I hate the morning, too bright for me." Hitomi looks up and sees the man she thinks of now Azelus asleep by the opening, slowly she slipped her mask on and slides out not wanting to wake him. As she patrolled the strrets she was pounced from behind but it was easy for her to slip away and stab his throat with no noise, this guy was an ammatue to fighting but Hitomi knew his movement wisely. She takes his pack and slips away back to the site quietly coming inside. In the pack she finds a much supplied food ration and a few knives and blanket, it was best for her to supply up and turns to Azelus. Hitomi went a little closer to see if she was right, something about him she knew but the apperance let her off and she thought differently. He stirs a bit and she backs away slowly and a little scared, once he settled she sits to the wall and takes out her knife to sharpen her arrows not even bothering to clean off the blood that spattered on her when she killed that man eariler. Even under the mask she was blood stained on her face but it didnt matter.

Looking at his expression she understood he was serious about it, though she really didnt want trouble to follow him she had to still gain his trust. Hitomi looks up and nods,"Of course, I wont say and give away you identity, noone will know it besides me." Her hands started to shake from the desision and questioned if what she was even doing with him was the right thing, remembering back from the last quell he almost had her dead and was going to kill her as she already laid severly hurt. Hitomi lowers her head and turns from him for a minute and paused, removing her mask she smears off the blood stains and and thinks,Is this right? to trust him even at the heat of battle, I've seen this before and the person ends of getting decieved mostly killed. But then again,....he did help me out back there. Turning back to him she nods again and promises to keep it all under wraps though she still had strong suspicions and was going to watch him close, any sense of double-crossing she'll know what to do.

Hitomi was little confused but tried to think of all the things he was saying, though truefully she knew Sara's power, shes seen it more than twice. Everytime she comes to the shadow realm for her reports she watched her sister leader of that realm go weak once Sara enters, Hitomi hated the sight seeing Yuki barely able to stand till the visit ended. She looks back to him and nods,"So when you say we should stir things up,....what do you have in mind?" Now Hitomi was starting to get intrested in the idea but really wonder exactly what.

Still trying to realize what was happening Hitomi started to think for a minute and realized he had this plan all along. She reached into a side pouch on her shorts and takes them out looking for the blue one to raise,"Well you did say that I would find out its power someday." Being a corrupt judge now Hitomi sure didnt feel like it though, instead more like she was in over her head about everything. Not even thinking more on the subject Hitomi raises the blue one above her head as high as it could go, by now she had no idea what would happen but curious of what these so called Antilaws were all about. "This better not do something to me, I'll take that as a double crossing too easily." Hitomi mutters even though he was right behind her.

Unable to return to my realm.....my home and .....Yuki... what she had comitted was a huge deal and started to worry about what things would come and how she had disappointed her sister, all this time she had tried to make something of herself and leave a mark to the realm as the top ranking assasian. Even with the ranks and constant fighting what was it all exactly for, each time she went out to prove herself Hitomi would be near death's door all the time but in her thoughts had a reason to push the limit. She thinks gard about it and decides her next move, she wanted to not always prove herself to a realm that already praise enough to their royal majestiesI've risked my life to many times and for right perhaps this is my real path. Hitomi looks up still feeling dragged, "Whats the point of returing home if everytime I want to praise the realm I almost die, the only thing that I'll miss is my sister....but things are ment to change over time." Hitomi continues on now she was part of the rebels it didnt bother her as much, she became from being top rank assasian of Lokchaos to becoming the rouge assasian. She knew the new path was going to be tough and not able to see her sister again hurt her more, in the end of it it was either die in the game or go this path, life was too important for her.

A day passed since Hitomi had scurried off away from Azelus, being able to trust him was harder then she thought and was a challenge. "This is hard, I still cant get the feeling that he going to do something rash and I'll either regret it or be dead, but yet I cant be to far..." Hitomi realized that she was now a rebal all around and couldnt go back home to her sister ever again, though cautious of what has happened thought of another reason to trust in him, so far he had helped her when she was injured and got her out of the arena not having to worry about the dangers there. She looks down from the tree she rested in the night before and decided to go back to where he went, she saw where he went and where they stayed so possibly he was still inside. Watching close not to be seen Hitomi goes back to the inn, the last thing she needed was to be spotted by Sara's army then sent back for her punishment. It hasnt been too hard to stay hidden but the hurt for not seeing Yuki again just brought her back to the time she always hid in the shadows watching her the years that went on.
______________________________________________________

Back in the palace Yuki spent most of the day gazing to the canopy on her bed mainly in concentration but soon to worry, the possibility of being consumed by the dark magic scared her to the core,"Its possible,.......I could become just like my father and be my worst enemy...a tyrant." She gets up trying quietly not to disturb Vertusk and looks to see he wasnt awake, once clear Yuki reaches over her library and scans her fingers to a small velvet book and pulls till theres a click, she then opens the edge of the self that was actually a passage and goes inside. "I know for sure if I dont harness this magic I'm done for....alll of the shadow realm will go back to the era of father's time." After walking the narrow hall Yuki finds another latch and opens it finding her way to the chamber of King Cyrus, she has only been in her father's room only a few times as a child and hasnt since his death. She looks around the dark till she felt the fireplace and casts a fire into it,the fire flickered orange then turned purple matching her aura then she looks around her father's desk and searches the drawers finding a couple old books. After looking she finds what she was looking for, her father's journal,"Gods he would never forgive me if he saw me doing this but time is precious." Yuki blows off the dust and opens to the middle of the book to find the family crest but it was different, looking close the cresant was laced with an odd black pattern she never saw before. She was about to turn the page but drops the books backing away screaming, Yuki looks to the book and sees its had black flames covering the surface."What kind of magic is that, perhaps dark? but its sinister.", she winces and looks at the palm of her gloves and sees burn marks that went through her glove and into her hands. Terrified Yuki runs out into the passage and rushes back into her chamber and sits quietly, she didnt know what just happened but she had fear running through her body.

"Master!?...noone aint my master and I dont take orders from someone I just met judgemaster or whatever." Hitomi snapped at him with no sense of humor, she was tired and a bit warn out from running so long then spending most of the night in the trees so she wasnt in the best of moods, huffing a bit she turns away and walks to a mirror grabbing a rag. Carefully she tries to clean off her face watching the cuts that apparently came from the tree when she jumped off, looking at the corner of her eyes she sighs,"Look, I'm sorry I yelled but its been long and I havent really been in a good mood since what happened with all these new things hitting me straight on." Hitomi finishes and sits on the corner of the bed and thinks, she wanted to trust him but in her mind she thought it was something else,Do I.....possibly no! I cant be falling for him its impossible and not right. she turns to him laying down but turns sharply. Yuki had told her about how some people show feelings with anger to hide their true emotion, blushing at the thought she shakes her head then picks up her mask pretending to fiddle with the strap to distract herself.Theres no damn way I'm....and with him? hell no.
