  9/13: EveningRosealine Miina, and Venustus MichieruJo(shu) closed his phone at this, and shook his head.
"I don't think you'd lie to me..." he started, glancing at the silver haired boy across from him."I would never, Father!" Venustus called quickly, noticing a wince from the brown haired figure across from him."Please don't call me that.' Jo(shu) replied, shaking his head. "It's Jo(shu). Or Shu, Ven. Father sounds...weird, coming from someone so close to my age." Jo(shu) shook his head..before starting to pick up his things, and making sure his tubes and weapons were in place."Very well..Shu." Venustus answered sternly, nodding his head. "I...apologize for bothering you at such a time..""Don't worry about it." he assured, flipping out another phone. "We're going to another Yatagarasu base....And You're coming with me, to verify your story.""R..Right!" Venustus called lightly, as Shu flipped open his phone. "What about me?" Rose responded, looking a bit huffy at the..strange circumstances. Something about him having a kid?! And his kid was almost as old as him? And....and.."Help yourself to the fridge." Jo(shu) responded, bluntly. "I've got some serious business to deal with....Just, direct anyone to Ak'thias's house if they come looking for me, okay?""And what makes you think I'll..""I'll buy you dinner and breakfast, and you can watch and play whatever you can find on my computer."".....""And I'll take you out wherever to do whatever. karaoke, shopping, etceter-""Deal.""Alright, now that we're settled." he started seamlessly, gesturing. "Come on Ven, We'll head there now.""Al..Alright, F....Shu." Venustus replied, before starting along with Jo(shu). "Thank you for helping me find him...Rosealine.""Just Rose, Ven!" Rosealine called, watching the two head out, and slumping back on the couch. "So. wonder what he has on file..."
"Yeah, Kanade? Could you meet us at Rednal's?" Jo(shu) sounded on the phone, prompting a small twitch from Ven. "We've..got something to discuss."

9/13: EveningRosealine Miina, and Fate LembryantRose slumped back on the couch of Jo(shu)'s, relaxing.
"Well...this isn't too bad, I suppose." she called, leaning down at this to glance at the slightly lived-in apartment. "Feels really...what's the term...Home-y in here?" She glanced around the apartment, and let out a yawn, tired from her journey.
So...Hmmm..What to do. she thought, glancing at his laptop, then at some game systems. He didn't have too much, but at least he wasn't still stuck in the ancient times like he claimed to be. Though....
"There's gotta be someth-" she started, before hearing a light tapping on the window. She moved over towards it, and saw a crow carrying a package in it's talons.
"Oh! I'll let you in!." she called, opening the window and letting it in. The crow dropped the package on a nearby table, stopping for the lightest of moments to rest it's wings...before summarily fluttering back out before Rose could even think to give it any kind of tip, or reward.
"O..kay..?" she sounded, before glancing down at the package. Must be for something in the...To: Rosealine Miina
From: An old Friend.Rose blinked at this, before lifting up the package, (Which felt heavier than it looked for some reason), and moving over to the couch. A quick pulling on the package quickly revealed why it had such weight to it...
"Woah..this is.." she called, pulling up a small blade from it, a note falling from the package as well, and some black material residing in it.
"Dear Rose...This is a Summoner's blade, and an Official Yatagarsu Uniform." she read out loud, glancing at the material. "While you are not one of our own, we recognize your summoning ability, and present you with these. They are far more than meets the eye..but All will be revealed, when you try them out for yourself."
Rose lifted the blade, swinging it slightly as if to get a feel for it.
I could probably use this with my shield. she thought, before glancing at the black material. She pulled it out and glanced at it, her eyes dancing over the material.
"...Doesn't quite look like my size, but.." she called, before glancing around. "Well, not like Shu's going to be back anytime soon."
At this, she made sure the window was closed, and the door was locked, before starting to strip out of her clothes, aiming to at least try the outfit on, to see if it would fit.On the outside, a red haired figure glanced up at the apartment building, and read off a small note she picked up from some slightly pudgy boy she'd met on the way here.
"This looks like the place." she called, trying not to snicker as she thought of Zaitou. Even if he was blind, it still was kind of funny to her whenever they made comments like that....particularly because he didn't seem to care. However, she moved up the stairs at this, and glanced at the doorknob. She took a bit of a tensed breath, anxious for what she'd find.
It's just been a few years... she assured herself, sighing. Just..Hey dad! Oh yeah, I'm from the future and you're my dad. How's Mom? We're here to save the future, or stuff.
Her hand moved up to knock at the door softly, still a bit of hesitation in her motion. Eventually though, she gently rapped against the door, hoping that they would hear it.Rose had...managed to get the uniform on, even if it was a bit of a tight fit.
"Well...it's certainly...brisk." she called, turning around in it to look herself over. While it covered the absolute minimum of her modesty, she couldn't help but feel a certain...something while she was wearing it. Like, she was stronger.....Tougher...Or.....
A knocking interrupted her thoughts at this, causing her to turn and reflexively cover herself...before smirking lightly.
Ohhhhh, this'll be good. she thought, before raising her voice.
"Come on in!" she called, before sliding over to flick the lock open. She backed away slowly and started to pose with a grin, aiming to positively knock Shu and Ven Flat.
He's such a sweet, polite boy. she thought, recalling how Venustus always looked her in the eyes, and tried to be as formal as possible. I wonder how he'll react to.. Fate flinched at the voice, before hearing the door unlock. She was about to draw up a key with her powers to use...Before she turned the knob on the door.
Here it comes.. she thought, before pushing the door open, confidently.
"Yo Hows it Going Pop-!!""Welcome Home Sh-" A quiet silence filled the room as the two realized that the person on the other side of the door, wasn't the person they were expecting. Rather, both parties merely stared in silence at the other..before one of them broke the ice in a professional, sophisticated manner. "Hello...Tits."

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe, GO OUT WITH MEEEEEEEEE!"
Zeo had intended to ask out the red haired babe he saw walking on the street, but when she went up to Shu's house and then opened the door right before he called out to her, he'd become slightly distracted by the other boxom hotty. Oh yes, this time Miina would definitely say yes...she would be his girlfriend! Iiiin that sexy outfit he certainly wasn't ogling from the bushes. Did I mention he'd just burst out from the bushes? He'd been hiding in the bushes.

9/13: EveningRosealine Miina, and Fate LembryantThe door was promptly slammed behind Fate, and something seemed to be braced up against it. Amidst the darkness of the balcony, something, or someone flew out of the building, heading in one direction...While a second shadow moved the other direction. It seemed like they were escaping....but, could a thing such as that really fool the Kirijo-Corps Anti-Shadow-Weapon? Or, was it merely postponing the inevitable?"He..Hey! Let me get dressed properly at least!" Quote: Fate and Rose have left the area.

Jo(shu) Michieru and Venustus MichieruSigh
Jo(shu) couldn't help but rub at the back of his neck as they made their way home. Kanade had refused to speak to him after she woke up, and he didn't push the subject. He wanted to assume that the silver haired boy was still lying...the faintest hint of disbelief all that he had left in protesting that he would make a move on her.....And, that was soon fading."Da..." Venustus started, before biting his tongue. "Jo(shu).....I'm sorry for..""It's okay." Jo(shu) quickly interjected, a tight scowl and a sharp breath saying anything but. "It's just...it's a lot to take in. I mean, a child..from the future...That's also almost the same age as me...and with a girl like Kanade.."
I didn't peg her the type to even THINK about that kind of thing. he thought, before shaking his head."Still..I apologize." Venustus responded firmly, his face revealing the lightest hint of disappointment on his face. He hadn't expected it to be all sunshine and happiness, but he felt a bit put off by the reaction. "If you want..I could go elsewhere.."Jo(shu) paused for a bit, before gesturing over his shoulder.
"Second set of rooms, bottom floor." he called, firmly. "Tachibana could definitely use some consoling...And...Maybe she'd be better about..."
About what? he thought to himself, closing his eyes. Being a better parent? Was this what I like in the future as well? Hrnnn..Venustus paused, before nodding quietly.
"I understand." Venustus affirmed, bowing politely. "I'll..see you tommorow, Father."Jo(shu) bit his lip to protest the term, but merely held out his hand, waving it at the boy.
"Yeah...Gnight..son." he stated quietly, before moving up the stairs to his place, and taking a tight, tensed breath. It had been a..strange day, and hopefully, by dissuading Venustus to Kanade for the night, maybe he could take a night. Then, he could take Venustus on from the rest after, and apologize to Kanade for...everything. He glanced down at his phone, ready to send a message with his free hand, while his other gripped at the doorknob...and felt it quickly give way.
"I know I locked this." he called, before pushing open the door, and seeing a white jacket tossed on the floor, and a purple skirt. He hesitated, before peering around the corner, seeing a.vaguely familiar (yet, thankfully clothed despite most cliches best efforts) figure. His face went from anxious to annoyed, before folding his arms and clearing his throat.
"Ah-hem.."The girl paused a bit at this, stirring in her sleep, and glancing up. A figure stood firmly across from her, which prompted her to yawn and sit up.
"Yeah yeah Mom.." she groaned, yawning. "I just figured the couch would..""This isn't your...How did you even...""Door was wide open." Juuni stated, a figure appearing from the hallway."So you just...walked right in?""Ummm..Would you surprised If I said Yes?"A silence filled the air, as she sat up, and waved her hands. "W..Well! What if I said I was your daughter....From the FUTURE?!""I'd say someone beat you to that excuse." Jo(shu) snapped, scowling. "And that you're in Junes almost as much as I am.....Neptune, I think your name is?" Juuni paused at this, a bead of sweat going down her head. As she went to say something though, the boy merely walked on past her.
"Juun- H..Hey!" she called, standing up. "Aren't you going to say something? Yell at me? Call the Cops? Tell me to get out? Say something totally creepy and misconstrued as some kind of vulgarity about 'compensation' or.....""I'm too tired for this s**t." he stated flatly, before moving down the hall, a figure patting him on the shoulder."You and me Both, kid." a robed figure called, pushing him along. "You. And. Me. Both."He didn't even miss a step as the obviously demonic figure patted him on the shoulder, merely continuing to his bed, and falling down on it.
I hate my life, sometimes.

  Jo(shu) Michieru and FamilyJo(shu) was not prepared for what would be waiting for him, when he opened the door. It was early...he had finally slept for once (despite all of the chaos), and the day was storming.
Greaaaaat start. he thought, before opening the door. I wonder if that's a sign of things to...
A thought not completed, as he saw an unfamiliar red-haired girl sitting in his chair, next to his computer, typing away."Ooooh, this looks interesting.""Wh..what the Hell?!" Jo(shu) called out flatly, prompting her to turn to him. And like that, he could suddenly feel the activity of the household start up. "Dad's awake!"! Venustus's voice called out, sounding rather excited."Ah! Pops!" another voice called, this one sounding too upbeat to be referring to him like a relation, as a girl with an..interesting color of hair, and a wide smile came into his sight.
"Daddy!" Another one called, as a smaller girl, with brown hair suddenly tackled into him, grabbing onto his shoulders. "Daddy...it's so wonderful that we see you again. I thought I was gonna die fighting that serpent and I'd never see you again, and we'd never finish our story, and and...And..."
"Woah, woah woah, Slow down! Slow Do-" Jo(shu) started, before the red head moved over, and grasped him between her arms, in a headlock."Ahhhh, Dad. All you need to know." the girl called, before burying her knuckles in his head. "Issat we're your kids from the future. You can think of us as like, Family, yeah?""F..Family?!" he snapped lightly, writhing in the grip of her, and the brown haired one. "W..who gave my daughter the right to be taller than me?!"
Many questions went through his mind, and he was having trouble finding the right words to spit out. The questions seemed to only want to come one at a time...but, this was just ridiculous! They couldn't all be his children, right?
"O...Oh Daddy.." the brown haired girl called, seeming to lightly sob into him, as he was viciously assailed by the tall red head's noogies. He gently squeezed the brown haired one, and patted her back awkwardly, before she suddenly pulled back.
"O..Oh, I know how we can prove it." she called, gesturing to everyone. "G..get out your demons everyone! I can tell that they wanna see him too! Wynn's been talking about you the whole trip here..""And Lyna's been talking about you since teaching me how to properly fight!" The happy girl called, reaching for a tube. Jo(shu) watched Venustus reaching for a tube of his own, and the red haired girl reach directly into her outfit, pulling out two as well."Sui-ki, and Succubus!" she called, gesturing a bit, and flicking her wrists."Magical Shining Lyna of Hope!"Saambell!"Wynn, Serenity of the gusts! Wynnda! Ariel of the Ocean!"
Several bursts of magnetite filled the area, as Jo(shu) was greeted with a myriad of faces, old and new. Sui-KI's imposing figure looking a bit relaxed, after a time. Succubus didn't look much different appearance wise, but he could tell something had changed by the way she looked at him. Not with the same, taunting, teasing eyes...but with respect. His eyes glanced around to see what looked like Wynn...Eria with a Hat, and Aussa with tied up twintails. However, as his eyes moved to the last two figures...he couldn't help but pause. The one with white Hair, and the one with Long green hair. He didn't need an introduction to them, having felt their energy directly often enough to be able to tell who they were at a glance.
"Lyna?..." He stated, looking at one, then turning to the other. "Wynn..? Is that...""Ma...Magical Shu..." Lyna's voice called to him, her expression shifting. There was no doubt...It was the same as the doofy magical girl he had bound to the ribbon. "Dinner....Or rather...Jo(shu)..." Wynn's voice called, prompting him to turn to the more mature looking demoness. She'd grown considerably as well, and looked like a whole new person. However, as the two darted over to him, followed by the myraid of other familiar demons, he felt himself being buried and showered with affection, recollection, and...well..demons.
"Welcome home..." he softly mused out, unable to really protest, or wanting to break up the mood. He'd...settle things a little bit later. Venustus had given him a brief overview of what had happened over the years...and that he'd been a father to him...but, he had left out all of...them. And, what's more...the demons....
He just slumped over in the grip of whomever had been holding him, and let everyone have their moment.
Must have been a pretty bad future, if seeing me is this important to them. he thought, sinking into their grips.

 Kanade Tachibana, And Jo(shu) Michieru
After a healthy amount of reuniting, greeting, and expressing affection towards long lost companions and children...Jo(shu) gathered up his things.
"As comforting as this is...If I don't show up for school today, I think the class president's gonna kill me." Jo(shu) quickly stated, glancing at the medley crowd of kids....No.. Kids wasn't quite the right term, since they were all close to his age.
Gods...This is still just too damn strange. he thought, shaking his head as he looked to each of them in turn. Venustus, whom he'd already confirmed was his child with the girl a few doors down...The red head, he wanted to say was Rose's.....A blueish..almost teal color from...someone he couldn't think of, and a brown haired girl he definitely couldn't place. Despite the sheer absurdity of him having so many children from the future..at such close ages...Something about them did ring out as familiar to him. Like, actual family....
"Can I trust you all to not burn down the house?" he asked, glancing to them with what he figured was a stern glance.
"O..Of course Father!" Venustus called quickly, bowing
"I Make no such promises." Fate's voice echoed, her tone jovial...yet, something about it was worrying.
"Of course! We're not pyromaniacs!" Dolus echoed, chuckling at Fate's remark.
"You can count on me, Daddy." Patris's voice piped up, as she saluted. "I love you!"
Jo(shu) paused at each of their reactions, noting them each in turn. He almost wanted to chuckle at Fate's remark...but, something about it seemed legitimate. He turned to Venustus with a small nod, and turned around.
"I'll be back after class." he called, as he opened the door. "Don't open the door for anyone you don't know, and...Don't destroy anything."
"We Won't!" A chorus of voices called back to him, as he shut the door. As he took the steps down the stairs and reach his hand into his bag though, he paused.
s**t...I don't have my umbrella. he thought as he fumbled for something that was supposed to be in his bag. He pulled his things aside for a bit, but quickly frowned as he confirmed his suspicions.
"S'not here.." he groaned, glancing back at the door. He could go back and turn the place upside down to help...But, he didn't want to look like a complete idiot in front of his children like that.
Well, not immediately, anyways. he thought, as he saw the silver haired figure starting along, holding up her own umbrella. Ah, I'll just..
"Hey, Kanade!" he waved, as he started to dart through the rain. "Hold up! My Umbrella's missing! I could really.."
Kanade turned at this, glancing back at the brown haired senior. Her time with Venustus the previous night, along with all of the other people that claimed to be his children had really confused her. She...didn't really have feelings for Jo(shu) like that..
So, why did Venustus not only know so much about them...But, also prove that he had some relation, with his crown, and atma? According to him, she'd been teaching him how to manifest and maintain it..With some tips on controlling the hunger. She could relate to him perfectly....Which made the whole situation more perplexing. And with all of the other people claiming to be his child...all of varying abilities and personalities.....
It's...a bit much.. she thought to herself, as she'd been leaving...before hearing Jo(shu)'s call for help. She flushed a bit as she heard his dilemma, knowing what kind of things people talked about when two people shared an umbrella. So, for the first time in a long while, she panicked....
And, quickly darted away from Jo(shu), on her way to school.
"Wha-! Kanade!" Jo(shu) called back incredulously, before darting faster, trying to catch up to her...Or, at least not get rained on as badly as he was being rained on.
Dammit. she probably hasn't forgiven me.
"Damn. Looks like we maaaaaay have ******** up the future a tad, Ven."
"Mom did kind of take the whole child thing as quite a shock.."
"Ahahaha, don't worry. I'm sure at least one of us will have some success with fixing our dad up with someone."
"Ohhh..I Hope Papa isn't too mad we took his umbrella..

Venustus Michieru, and Fate LembryantIt had been a rather peaceful morning. Patris was in their Father's room, fixing it up. Dolus was playing some game on his television, and Fate...
Well, Fate was laying on the couch and snoring loudly.
She musta had a long night.. he thought to himself, as he looked from the kitchen. He was the only one he trusted in the kitchen, so while he was preparing lunch for everyone, he happened to glance outside, and see...
"Oh no..." he called, seeing the wave of smoke. There was no doubt......"Woah! That's the Signal!" Dolus's voice called out from the living room, confirming Ven's suspicions. He quickly turned off the stove, and slid the food onto a myriad of plates.
"Food's on." he called, opening the door to the outside of the building..."Bwubba? Whazz goin' on?" Fate's voice called, quickly righting herself on the couch.
"It's nothing, go back to sleep." Venustus called, as he started out the door...feeling a hand on his shoulder."Ven... Fate's voice called, making him let out a deep sigh.
"Fate, Father told us not to leave the building." Venustus stated, cringing a bit. "I don't want to disobey Father's wishes, but if It's just one of us, we can..""Noooooo no no no no No." Fate replied, wagging her finger in front of him once again. "I'm the oldest, so I go.""But Fate...""Ooooh! oooh! I know! You should do...that!"Venustus stopped at this, turning to Dolus, before back to Fate with a smirk. A smirk she returned with a fire in her eyes.
"On Three?""On three." she returned, as they held up their hands, bringing them down with clenched fists in sequence.One...Two..."Three!""Three!"Double Rock...... "One more time!""One...two...Three!"Double Paper.. "Once mo-" Fate called, as Venustus felt her pushing right by him. He flinched at this, before flinging open the door.
"H..hey! Wait up!" he called, before turning to the others. "Help yourself to what's in the kitchen....And don't open the door for anyone other than one of us, or Father." he stated, sternly. "We'll try to be back before Father returns....So, don't do anything dangerous."
He shut the door at this, before moving to catch up with the red haired girl, his form shifting into his Atma one...allowing him to follow her by the scent of demons.
I'm sorry Father...Meanwhile, Dolus went back to playing the game system, her eyes not moving from the Television for a few moments.
"Cool, alrighty." she called to the two leaving, having grown bored watching them stalemate, and deciding to get back to relaxing. Something they didn't get to do enough of back in the future.Quote: Venustus and Fate have left!

Kanade Tachibana, And Venustus Michieru
It was...quiet.
The silver haired girl was sitting quietly on her couch during this time, hugging her knees close. Everything that had happened recently was just....Too much to be real. The mysterious arrivals...claiming to be from the future...
Children between Rednal and Aselia....A child of her own with Shu....
I..don't really care about Shu that way though.. she thought for what must have been the hundredth time today. The more she thought about the idea of having a child, much less with him was...
Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe it... she thought to herself, shaking off a flush. 'He's helped me out so much, but that doesn't mean that he's..interested in me...Or, vice versa....'
As she closed her eyes, trying to even picture it, a gentle rapping could be heard at the door. She moved over to it at this and peeked out of the peephole, seeing a familiar shade of Silver.
'Mo...Tachibana-san...may I come in?"
Speak of the devil, they say. she thought to herself, hesitating. Part of her wanted to pretend she was asleep, to avoid whatever he was there to talk about....And yet...
"One moment.." she murmured, before unlocking and opening the door to the boy. She had to look up to confirm her suspicions, which were confirmed.
Her supposed son had come to visit her....
No, No..I can't think like that.. she thought, opening the door wider, and gesturing.
"Please, come in.." she stated quietly, the boy nodding slightly, and carefully inching in.
"Thank you..Tachibana-san." Venustsus said in a proper tone, making sure to take cautious, careful steps. He removed his shoes at the door, and started in, glancing at his mother with an uneasy glance.
She looks..troubled.. he thought to himself, feeling his arm reflexively move up to hold the other one.
Kanade didn't miss this, her eyes glancing over as the boy looked...tense. With the amount of tension though, she could almost see herself in him. Something about the way he stood...
"Was..there something you needed, Micheru?" she asked curtly, seeming a bit sharper than usual with her tone...If only because of how she was feeling at the moment. She didn't mean for it to sound as distant as it did, but..
"No! I..I mean, not really.." Venustus's voice quickly called back, stammering slightly...as he took a calming breath. "It's just....We've never really got to talk. About...Things..and...stuff.....I was..Your only..I mean..."
He was dancing around the subject. He didn't want to come out and say it, but she could understand what he meant. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of her own, mirroring the boy's.
"It is...Alright..." she assured him, quietly. "I know...it must be hard to...speak like this with...someone."
"No..harder than what you..told me it was like." Ven replied, tensing up..and yet, feeling a bit at ease. "You told me all about how you used to be always scared of people...And how Fath....Shu helped you....overcome that.."
"Michieru...You don't have to..' the girl stated quietly, taking care to pick and choose her words slowly, and methodically. "You don't have to hold back...your words. You can...call him...that."
"I'm sorry...It's just that you seem... A bit uneasy around those words..NotthatIblameyou, but.
"It will be...fine." she called with a tensed breath, finding the situation becoming more awkward rather than less, but it was hardly a normal situation to begin with.
"O..okay." he stated quietly, before he raised his hand up. "I..suppose I just..wanted to hear you talk about My...Our condition.Atma."
There was a topic that made the girl uneasy. The power shew as born with, and yet, it was more of a curse than a blessing. She could fight, but at what cost? Her arm went to cover her shoulder at this, a reminder of her own power. It was...painful to think about...Troubling to use....
And a constant source of anxiety when working with an organization filled to the brim with demons...Demons that incited a certain hunger within her. She still hadn't ingested the Core she obtained from Kyouji, deciding to put it off as long as she could. The core always managed to satiate her urges in addition to expanding on her powers...But..
"And...there's another thing i want to talk to you about.."

Kanade Tachibana, And Venustus Michieru
"What...is it?" Kanade's voice asked after some quiet contemplation, seeing Ven's face turn serious. An awkward silence filled the room once more, before he turned to her.
"Well...Fath...Shu-san is right handed, isn't he?' Venustus's voice called, recognizing this from the battles against the corrupted figure, and how he tended to do things.
"I...think so." Kanade replied, a bit unsure. "Why do you ask?"
A sharp pang suddenly seemed to strike Venustus, as she confirmed this...prompting him to turn to her.
"Well...The Shu I know...From the future.." he stated quietly, hesitating. "He...he always said his right arm was his bad arm."
Kanade paused at this, unsure of what he meant by such a note. Perhaps she was just wrong about these kind of things?
"And..?" she added, a bit curter than she would have liked, wondering where he was going with this.
"Well..he also told me he only got into a fight with you once.." Venustus added, hesitating a bit. "Sometime before you two started dating... And...You told me.."
Kanade's heart felt like it had stopped at this, not liking where he had left off. The thought of fighting with what was as close to a friend as she had was bad enough, but..
"I had a lot of trouble controlling my...Transformations.." he started, worrying if he really should tell her this or not. "And...I nearly hurt someone. I asked you if you've ever done something like that...And you told me....You broke one of Father's Arms..."
Pang...
There was the guilt. She couldn't be certain it had been her fault as of yet, but..
"You told me your Atma had gone a bit berserk after...something. And, you went after the being that smelled most like a demon. And that was....Father.."
He shook his head quickly, piecing the situation together far more now than ever...And feeling a bit of sympathetic guilt.
"He always said it was nothing...But, I don't think it ever healed up properly. You said you visited him in what went for a Hospital, but he didn't stay in long. There was too much at stake...."
Kanade flinched a bit at this, her hand moving over the pulsing brand on her shoulder. Her own hunger had really triggered such a response?
The idea made her uncomfortable, and as Venustus remarked on how the Shu he knew tried to brush it off made her uneasy...To the point she quickly hurried over to the door.
"I...need a breath of fresh air." she started quickly, moving towards the door and opening it up to the stiff cold of the Darkest time of the day. If she hadn't been convinced that Venustus was telling the truth before, this was a decent argument to it...And that she was as she thought she was...
A monster.....The kind that would hurt someone close to me.. she thought, folding her arms up and starting to tremble slightly, feeling the hunger slowly aching from within. It wasn't something she could escape....Something she'd be cursed with forever, and that would spread...
She wanted to cry...she wanted to die...Anything to get rid of the condition inside of her...To prevent such things from happening. Her breathing quickened, and as she could feel her heart pounding, a hand was placed on her shoulder.
"There is one other thing that you told me.." Venustus added, sounding much softer. "Something comforting..that you told me...He'd always say to you when you were having trouble yourself."
"A...Ah?"

Kanade Tachibana, And Venustus Michieru"What...What did he used to say to me?" Kanade inquired, her worries and disbelief fading for a moment, as she saw the silver haired boy smile slightly."It's...a bit embarrassing, but.." Venustus called, closing his eyes for a moment, before turning back to his mother. He raised his voice slightly, as if imitating his father.
"Our powers don't make us monsters. Even if we have our differences in conditions, we're still human deep down. And Humans make mistakes, sometimes. What matters is that we learn from them..And overcome it. We have to look past what we can't do...and focus on what we can do. It's our emotions deep down that make us who we are...That remind us we're still human...regardless of what powers, or conditions we may have."
For a few moments, the room went silent, as Venustus turned.
"W...Well..Father put it better than that...But..it has been a while.." he added sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "So..I'm sorry if it wasn't..that moving...."Kanade paused at this, but nodded slightly, giving a small smile.
"It's okay, Venustus.." she replied brushing a bit of hair out of his eyes. "I got the gist of what you were trying to communicate."
She could see Shu's earnest well wishing in him...And her own nervousness amidst tense situations as well. Her heart didn't feel as weighed down with anxiety anymore.....Or, even panic.
'No..I think..I've accepted it now.' she thought slightly, feeling a bit of warmth make it's way to her face. 'Even if it's another time...I could see how I could...fall for him.'Ven breathed a small, silent sigh of relief as he saw his mother smile once again. Not a painful, forced smile...Or, some sort of plastic expression, but a genuine, gentle smile.
"He also said you looked beautiful when you smiled." he added slightly, tossing in a bit of fluff to keep the moment going. However, as he did, a crow seemed to fly into the area, looking Venustus in the eyes.Kanade felt a warm blush move from ear to ear at Ven's other comment, more than a little embarrassed..but, before she could get too caught up in it, a familiar looking black crow made it's way to her window. Judging by the way it looked at Venustus..
"What is it?" she asked, lightly."A summons...Lady Ciela wants me to visit.." Venustus called, opening the door, but then turning back. "Do you mind...Moth...""It's okay.....Son." she called, the word sounding odd coming out of her mouth, but smiling. "Just..Be careful, okay?"Venustus smiled brightly at this, perhaps for the first time in a long while.
"I....I will...Mother." he stammered back, wanting to say a thousand more thing to her, but refraining. No, if Lady Ciela was sending a summons to them...Quote: Venustus has shared some words from the future with Kanade, and she has come to terms with the truth of his heritage. Through this bond between mother and son Across time, Kanade and Ven may form a social link!

 W.Y.N.N. and And Jo(shu) Michieru
WYNN's optical receptors slowly turned on, as she looked up from her spot. She'd returned home with Shu for the night, forgoing the dorms to spend the remainder of her time as a...human with him.
She moved her fingers over her mechanical joints and the like once more, letting out an unnecessary breath.
"Morning, Sleepy head." Jo(shu)'s voice called out, as he rounded the corner. Plates were being laid out on their bedside, as he sat down. "No school today, thankfully."
He was tired. So very..very tired. But, he'd have to deal with it, for the sake of work and the like. A smile was on his lips this morning..as he idly rubbed his eyes.
"M..Morning.." WYNN called, her vocalizations malfunctioning for a bit. She could feel the essence of heat on her face at this, as she quietly reach for the breakfast provided for her. Quietly eating...Even without all of the foreign sensations....
It still appealed to her...as Shu rubbed at his eyes. She fought to recollect the words...before..
"Heard something about the hospital." He called, lightly. "Some people were around...Say...Didn't you have a friend in the hospital? We could go visit her, if you want.."
WYNN stalled for a bit, her mind finally rebooting..before she nodded.
"D..Daidouji-san." she called, lightly. She had been..unconcious for a while, but that did not mean she couldn't visit her...Right?
"I'd...I'd like that."
"Alrighty then..Let's go.

Kaminari scratched at the back of her head, her hair a tangled mess and her clothes awry. Staring blearily at the door, she looked around blinking in the early morning light. How the hell had she gotten there? She wasn't sure. Things were hazy, like the morning after a heavy night of drinking or a bad trip. She did recognize Shu's place, though, and was glad for something familiar. Knocking on the door, she waited, hoping the man was home.

And, as if on cue, a knocking could be heard at his door. Shu turned at this, his hand already wrapped around the knob..as he opened the door.
"Oh, hey Kamina...woah." he called, looking the girl over with a bit of an raised eyebrow. "Don't take this the wrong way, but you..kind of look terrible right now."
Like, seriously terrible. Her clothes were a mess, her hair was all mussed up...And, a bit of a vacant stare.
"You wanna..come in? I was going to head somewhere, but you look kind of...like a mess."
He gestured for WYNN to grab some things, the girl nodding and moving back.
WYNN had sensed someone outside, but as it was a friend of Shu's, she merely moved to the kitchen to get something to eat. The hospital likely wasnt' taking visitors just yet...
So, it would be okay to take a bit of time....Hopefully.

Kaminari nodded dully at Shu as he invited her in. "I've been..." She paused shaking her head and taking a seat at the table. "I don't even know," she continued, resting her head in her hands. "I was at Junes..." She tried to think through the haze, which was slowly beginning to clear. As she ruminated over the events of the last few...days? Weeks? How long had she been...? Where had she been? Bits and pieces of memory were pulling into focus. "There was a man...he kidnapped me," she went on, voice rising in shock. "Zsasz or Zizi or something, it was dark all the time and he, someone would..." Kaminari trailed off, her voice rising into a hysterical tone before her words broke off into silence. Someone would come and...no, she did not want to remember. She needed a drink or a hit of something or, or... Her racing mind fell silent as tears broke like a dam, with Kaminari collapsing into sobs.
