Ever felt like her heart was being torn from her chest, but she knew that what just happened was for the best. Neither she nor Ares were in the right frame of mind for a relationship right now. As she said, she was immature right now and he wasn't open or honest with her. He used to be, but he wasn't now. Their communication sucked. They couldn't be together until they learned how to communicate better, and how not to get in so many fights.
And she was counting on them getting back together in the future. They were immortal. She didn't want to lose him for the rest of existence. She didn't want to become another notch in his bedpost. But she already knew that she wasn't. She had meant more to him than that. She didn't know if she still did, but she knew that he had cared for her, which was more than could be said about any of the other women he had been with that she knew about.
None of that stopped the hurting, though. She felt alone right now. Even when they were bickering, Ares had always been right there for her. Now he wasn't. All he wanted from her now was the Relic. She had contributed to their current situation. They both had. Gods this sucked.
Ever leaned her back against the house and slowly slid down until she was sitting on the floor of the porch. Her legs were bent and she rested her forehead on her knees and wrapped her arms around her legs. Tears fell down her cheeks, but she couldn't sob anymore. She just physically did not have it in her anymore.

Ever laughed hollowly into her lap as she heard Aphrodite's words. She was just acting like nothing had happened, that she hadn't just danced with her former boyfriend and then kissed him. Frankly, Ever wasn't really surprised. Maybe Aphrodite didn't even see anything wrong in what she did.
Truth be told, Ever was still more hurt at what Ares had done by dancing with Aphrodite the way he had than she was at Aphrodite. But she still did not look kindly on Aphrodite in all of this.
She sighed, stood up, and nodded her head. She didn't look at Aphrodite. "Yes, I would like to come back, please. Thank you."
She picked up Kilala, stroked her softly, and headed back into the house to meet up with the other girls.

She couldn't help herself. She jogged after the girl, and caught her gently by the arm. "Evermore..." she said softly, "... I know what you feel like. Sort of. I've been there, and worse. I... I'd like to apologize, if it makes any difference. It won't fix everything, obviously, I know that. But please, I do apologize," she said sincerely. Damned for trying, right?

Ever shook her head and couldn't keep the sarcastic smile from appearing on her lips. She still didn't look at Aphrodite.
"Right. Just 15 minutes ago, you were grinding against my boyfriend and then you kissed him. Now, you're sorry all of a sudden? Don't act like you don't like what's happened. You're the Goddess of Love. You know Ares and I are cooling it for now. You're nothing but thrilled at that."
Finally, Ever turned her head back to look at Aphrodite and her eyes were bright red. "But don't you forget what I am, Aphrodite. I'm a Fury, and you know what Furies are like better than anyone. You better hope I fight down the urge to exact retribution on you like I was designed to do."
She cocked her head to the side. "And don't forget. Ares and I may be having problems right now, but I still care deeply for him. This is merely a bump in the road. He cared more for me in the first couple of days we were together than he ever cared for you. Just because you're the Goddess of Love does not mean you can or will have whatever you want. Some things are even out of your control. I'm working on maturing and bettering myself every day, and not just for Ares but for myself. Ares and I will be back together again in the future. Even if he comes back to you, it will only be to satisfy his lust and lose himself in someone, anyone."

Aphrodite flashed a smile before slapping Evermore clean across the face. It left a lovely red mark to match her eyes. "... and don't forget who you're talking to, or what I am, my lovely. You better hope I stick to my promise to Ares... else things could get quite, well, ugly!" she trilled a lovely laugh. "And news flash honey? I do get what I want, and I have gotten what I've wanted since the day I was born. The whole world wants me, and that's more than enough. At least I'm the one doing the comforting to a man I love. It'll kill you, though. The sex will be good, in any case," she laughed again. "Just remember: Time is nothing to an Immortal, and though you belong with us, you pass your time like Them. If you're waiting to mature and then return to Ares, I think that'll take a long time even for him. Keep wishing, though... but you know what I hear?" she asked, her face going all innocent, "Wishing is only half of the total work needed to make a dream come true! You seem to be best at wishing, Ev... not so much the working part! You seem to be good at letting people down... you can check that off your list of things to perfect!"
Aphrodite smiled, and pinched her cheek where she'd slapped her. "To think I argued your case against your Mothers for you! Kind of wish I'd left you to them... you really weren't worth the fight. I got them terribly angry. I'm your guardian now, by the way. Uhg," she said, pulling the hem of her shirt away to reveal the 'X' like scar above her heart, "To think I bonded myself to you! You don't like help or advice much, do you? Well, we shouldn't keep the others waiting right? Just remember to keep that winning personality un check when talking to Big 12 merchandise, ok?"
She gave Evermore another winning smile, and a sharp slap on the other side of her face before making her way back towards the others, rallying them to herself to prep for their departure.

{{Oh man! That was AMAZING, Rrine! I love you!! heart biggrin }}
Ever had just stared at Aphrodite in complete shock as she slapped her. Okay, she had stared at her in shock after her head and rolled back around to face her. Damn. Who knew the Goddess of Love could slap so hard?
And then, she had the audacity to pinch where she had slapped her! If that hadn't hurt like a b***h... Good thing Akira could heal, though she'd as Ever where she had gotten the mark from.
Then, Aphrodite hit her again, on the other cheek this time! Oh she had no idea who she was messing...
Ever sighed and tried to compose herself. This wasn't how someone who was mature would act. She had to remind herself of that. This was wrong.
She looked down at Kilala in her arms and whispered softly to her, "You know, I like having you around. You keep me calm. You'll have to teach me how you do that."
She stroked the cat a few more times and then proceeded to join the others. On her way there, though, she could not resist hissing lowly to Aphrodite on her way by, "At least I'm not anyone's second choice..."

(BAM. Take that! Evermore was asking for it. Lol, and I love you too heart APH =/= EV.)
"Better second than third, honey," she said distractedly as she counted heads to make sure everyone was present and ready to go. "... but as I seem to remember, I was with him before you were, which makes me his first. You're his second! Simple math, love!" she chirped happily. "... but how could I forget? The world started with Evermore! Are we going by Evermore-years, or normal time?"

{{Love you long time!! biggrin }}
Ever couldn't help but smile, a real smile this time, and laughed softly. She actually wasn't intimidated by Aphrodite anymore. Well, at least she wasn't for right now. She really was Ares' first. He could have had Aphrodite whenever he wanted, but he and Ever gravitated toward each other and later developed something that she was pretty sure Ares had never developed with anyone else before, especially not with Aphrodite.
"Okay, Aphrodite. I'm not going to fight anymore because I know the truth. It's hard to get upset when the truth is quite comforting."

(Many lots times?)
"Quite true. Look who's maturing as we speak!" she said, smiling a genuinely kind smile at her. Once all the girls were outside the mansion, Aphrodite snapped her fingers and a fine pink mist filtered around them. When the missed cleared, they were back at Bai Ching. "Alright, disperse!" she said with a smile, "... but be sure to visit Vanessa sometime. Maybe you all might be able to wake her up." With another snap of her fingers, she was Aphira again. "Ari? I'd like a word with you, if you please." The girl looked up, surprise in her eyes, but she obediently shuffled over. Aphrodite gave her a comforting squeeze. "C'mon... she'll be fine, my love. Buck up!" Ari only looked at her, but she did manage a half-smile.

Ari, who had been planning on talking with Evermore, looked a bit surprised as Aphrodite called her. She looked at Evermore, a long and cold look. It was eerily empty, though, almost as if she was beyond her anger. "Sure, Miss DiTe..." she said, before getting a hug from the woman. She honestly didn't see what Evermore had against her. She was really nice...

{{Many lots! biggrin But I must go to bed now. Night! *hugs*}}
Ever's eyes were still wide in shock as they were all teleported to Bai Ching. What had just happened? Aphrodite was smiling at the fact that Ever was Ares' first choice? Or was it that she was happy that Ever stopped fighting? Or was it all an act?
She didn't even notice Ari's glare as she dumbly walked forward down the hallway and into her room.
Once inside her room, Ever began taking her clothes out of her shoulder bag. As she removed the jeans she had been wearing earlier, a piece of paper fluttered out of one of the back pockets. That's right! Vanessa had made a picture that she wanted Ever to look at.
Ever dropped her bag and pants on the floor and carefully began to unfold the drawing. When she was done, she looked at the drawing with wide eyes, eyes full of shock and pain.
There before her was an image that clearly represented Ever and Ares. They were holding hands and their foreheads were resting against each other. They were clearly in love in the drawing.
Tears once again started to fall down her cheeks. She knew what she and Ares was doing was right. They needed a break... She just prayed with all of her heart that he didn't run to Aphrodite or anyone else while they worked out their individual crap.
She held the drawing close to her and slowly sat on her bed. She laid down on her side on the bed and tried to telepathically send a message to Ares. She had no idea if she could even do this or not, or even if Ares had blocked her completely from him, but she wanted to try.
"Ares.. please. Please don't be with anyone else. I do care for you, and I'm working on getting better. Please wait. Remember what it was like a few days ago..."
That was the first time she had ever pleaded to a man before. Actually, the only other two people she had ever pleaded to before were Akira and Headmistress Krause. This wasn't a weak pleading. She was emploring. She was quickly learning that it WASN'T weak to ask for something. Showing your real emotions was not weak.
She was completely putting herself and her pride out there for Ares, and she didn't even know if he could hear her or not.
She hoped Akira didn't mind that Ever had brought Kilala into her room with her for the night. She was very comforting and she wanted her there with her. She hoped she'd come up on the bed and snuggle with her.
Surprisingly, though, the one creature that came to snuggle beside her first was Raven. Raven had sensed that Ever was back on campus, and her parents finally let her go to spend time with Ever again. She couldn't wait until this week was over so that she could devote all of her time to Ever.
When she saw the tears on the Fury's face, the little ball of light quickly grew worried and looked over at Kilala. Without waiting for a response, Raven nestled herself on Ever's arm, the one that was facing up since she was lying on her side. She tried to send her calming thoughts and energy.

(g'night!)
Aphrodite led Ari into the school, and into her office. The poor girl was so quiet... Aphrodite brifely hesitated at what she was about to do. Could Ari handle it? She hoped so. Aphrodite sat behind her desk, and sensed the man's approach. She had timed it perfectly. "Ari... there's something I need to tell you..." she said, closing her eyes. How sweet... he had brought her a late night coffee. "... I think I know who your father is." The girl's face was almost priceless. "Y-you can't be serious!" she gasped. Aphrodite only nodded.
The door behind the two women swung open, and Adonis stepped in, coffee for Aphrodite in hand. "Hey, Phii, got you some... Mein Gott! Magda?!" he exclaimed, boyishly handsome face utterly shocked. Ari whipped around, her eyes wide. "N-nein. Magda ist meine Mutter ... Ich bin Ari."
(N-no. Magda is my mother... I'm Ari.)

((YYAAYYY PAGE 200!!!!!! ^^ ))
Kilala had grinned and stayed close, glad that she could calm the girl down with her presence and hey, at least now Evermore was thinking straight!
When the saddened Fury had curled up against the wall once Ares had disappeared, Kilala had nuzzled her leg, purring softly and murmuring soft comforting words to the heart broken girl, telling her she'd done the right thing.
The Demonic cat didn't mind being picked up and had snuggled close, watching the Love Goddess with respect, that is until Aphrodite had slapped Evermore.
Kilala's expression had gone from surprised to just pain demonically pissed. Her tails had swayed angrily, but not whacking anybody. Her blood red and midnight black eyes had glared darkly at the Love Goddess, but stayed so quiet that she seemed terrifyingly calm.
Afterwards, her deadly glare had cooled when she realized why Aphrodite had done so, but hissed lowly when Evermore was slapped again. Enough was enough already!!!
She relaxed in the Fury's arms, however, and smiled reassuringly, nodding at her words when Evermore started walking towards the girls.
~~~
Akira glanced at them curiously and questionably as they approached, wondering why the hell Evermore's cheeks were burning hot red with painful looking hand prints, but Kilala just shook her head, and with a small sigh, Akira let the questions drop for now.
Once they arrived back at school, Akira grinned in utter relief and let go of the breath her hadn't known she was holding.
Away from him again...Safe.
The Dog Hanyou had planned to go with Evermore; they seriously needed to talk, but when she watched her best friend bolt into her room, the Demonic girl understood that it was best to just get some serious sleep and tackle all those troubles tomorrow. After all, It was Sunday tomorrow!!!
Saying good night and rushing off to her own room, throwing off her clothes at the speed of light, then jumping into the shower to rid herself of his touch, Akira was surprised and slightly annoyed with herself that she'd only now noticed that Kilala was still With Evermore. Man, was she out of it!!!
Well, Kilala knew her way back here, so she'd probably wait till Evermore was asleep before coming back. Honestly though, Akira was extremely grateful to her familiar and just loved her so much!! Kilala was awesome, period.
Drying her wet hair and climbing into her warm, secure bed, Akira snuggled into the covers and closed her eyes, grinning softly as she replayed the powerful slap she'd given Dean over and over in her head...
Kami that had felt incredible...Revenge truly was sweet!!!
~~~
Kilala honestly didn't mind being carried off to Evermore's room. Though she knew Akira was just as jumbled up as her best friend was, so she wanted to be by her master's side as much as possible afterwards. After all, Akira was her top priority, not Evermore, even though she really liked the Fury, it was just the way things worked.
She sat quietly on the bed and watched as the Fury tried to contact the War God. She knew this because, having opened up the mental link between Akira and Evermore was allowing the Demonic Feline to read some of Evermore's thoughts and wishes.
When Evermore finished and reached for her, Kilala obliged and started walking closer, but stopped when Raven zoomed into the room and in front of her. Kilala silently scowled the light fairy, her eyes showing slight disappointment, but then smiled and nodded towards Evermore.
After Raven rested herself on Evermore's arm, Kilala snuggled up against the Fury's stomach, purring softly, a lullaby for sleep and pleasant dreams.
