What would you have done to save someone you cared for? I would rather seal their spirits, even if he didn't want me to, then to see him die the same way..."Nothing that concerns you, really. However I am in no mood to fight really, barely getting out of a situation alive with your brother." he stated. That wasn't entirely true, mainly because Yukio had stepped in and helped calm the younger ghost down a little. "However I want to ask you one thing..."
Sora had finally calmed herself and couldn't really believe that her brother was actually being serious. At least until he had said the next few words. "How's the weather?" he had asked, making Sora smack her brother upside the head.To those who want to tell me it's not okay for a man to dress this way Well you probably have the same hobby

 - * ^ Yukio Miheal ^ * - "You can probably get where I'm coming from... Yet you can't understand why I'm still smiling..." Yukio let out a whimper feeling a finger at the edge of the skirt. At least Kit sounded nice...a little nicer than the way he was earlier. "Kit-dono...knock it off..." he whimpered lightly. "That's embarrassing!" Yukio was sitting up as slightly, watching Kit glide his fingers against exposed skin. Although it wasn't likely for the boy to get any redder, he acted more humiliated though."You can't see that I'm hiding behind this smile Using it to shut off all of my problems from the outside world..."

  ►►► Nick was close to being amused by the new nickname for their visitor but was a bit too keyed up to really appreciate it. He could feel Nick moving behind him and dimly remembered that his new boyfriend was half dressed at Nick’s own hands. Covering up made sense, though Nick had no real opinion on it one way or the other since the clothing wouldn’t do anything to prevent or shield Dom from another attack. Modest was a luxury that could be worried about later. His fingers curled into not-quite-fists as though his nails were claws he wanted to rake straight down Minagi’s face.
His temper cooled very slightly when a warm arm slid around him and draw him back into a more reclining position against Dom. A small whine of protest slipped from his lips but he did not otherwise object. It was the sound of the heartbeat behind him that had the most success in making the ghost settle down. The soft thump was proof that Dom was still fine and had already survived one attack. He would survive this one as well or there would be quite literal hell to pay.
The blonde fixed his eyes on the man in the doorway, waiting for some kind of explanation. He didn’t want to fight. That was good at least. Nick didn’t want to fight either. He wanted the man to vanish. And having already given him one chance to do so was not sitting well with the undead male.
His jaw dropped when he hear the question, mouth actually hanging open in shock. He recovered as the woman smacked the man and Nick blinked, shaking his head. Then he managed to recover some of his growl, enough to speak at least. “If you have something to say, I suggest you say it quickly.”

When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.Kit grinned at the whimper, his eyes dancing with mischief as the very red Faust asked him to knock it off with another whimper before sitting up slightly. His soft laughter in response wasn't even slightly reassuring but he lifted his finger all the same. It was that strange pull that wouldn't let him actually hurt the white haired boy and made him listen when he asked for him not to hurt an adult. He couldn't explain it, and didn't really have enough self-observation to actually care.
"You know, Faust, you really are kinda cute."Kit told him lightly, his grin in his voice before going solid and using what he had left of his energy to pick the white haired male up bridal style and make it to the bed where he layed him out carefully, like a doll he was arranging. But he was about at his limit as he stretched out next to the boy, hovering an inch or two over the covers.
"Don't change, kay? I wanna see it again in the morning."He murmured, his energy dipping low enough now he was fading in and out of sight even for someone who could see him at all times. Because he was fading to the half-existence where he gathered energy. He shifted a touch closer, like he could actually feel the other boy in his current form, although it was impossible. Sighing softly he held out a hand just above where the other boy's heartbeat would be.
"Promise you won't save anyone else? I don't want you to die...it sucks."he closed his eyes shimmering out more often than he was present now.

 Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye.... unless you have been drinking. As close as they were it would be impossible to miss how tense Nick was, despite the slight relaxation he made when the violet haired male pulled him back tighter against his chest. He could understand the almost over the top urge to protect his brother, it was understandable given his history, but going about it by killing people was a little extreme. So he was hoping to keep it from going that far. The other male for his part seemed to be along similar lines because he quickly told them he had no intention of fighting them. That was enough for the teacher's aide.
Dom relaxed the rest of the way, setting his chin on Nick's shoulder so he could watch the pair in the doorway. And when the crazy maid asked about the weather he laughed. It was such a weird change of topic he couldn't help it, smiling brightly while the gold orbs only picked up more amusement when the girl smacked Crazy Maid for the question. Nick seemed shocked for a minute before he rallied himself to demand they say their peace. Dom kissed him lightly on the spot just behind his ear to calm down a little.
"I'm Dominic, by the way. This is Nick."he introduced them, again half a continent away his mother was quite pleased with his manners. Some ingrained habits were just frightening. But it was hard to care when you were currently trying to keep your boyfriend from killing someone by physically restraining him.

 - * ^ Yukio Miheal ^ * - "You can probably get where I'm coming from... Yet you can't understand why I'm still smiling..." "Seriously stop...That's not true..." He kept his eyes shut tightly as he once again covered his face with his hands. He never thought that at all, even if his siblings said that to him. It was pretty much because of his hair really, and him always getting made fun of because of it.
It weirded Yukio out slightly when Kit asked him not to change out of his clothes. He had to wear them anyway the next day and the day after that in order to complete his punishment...Not that he was going to tell him that. But he noticed the boy beginning to fade in and out and got worried. As a hand went over his chest, the white hair male smiled up at him lightly. "Fine, I'll keep it on..." he laughed, still embarrassed.
"I can't promise you that, but I can promise I won't die...yet." he stated. "...Do you need some of my energy?" Yukio asked, not wanting him to be unseen for a while. "You can't see that I'm hiding behind this smile Using it to shut off all of my problems from the outside world..."

Ayukina Xien What would you have done to save someone you cared for? I would rather seal their spirits, even if he didn't want me to, then to see him die the same way...Minagi rubbed the back of his head roughly, due to the smack across the back of his head. "no seriously, how is the weather?" he asked again, only now adding more words to it. "Have you seen how the weather was with your brother lately?" Minagi twirled his finger in the air, semi-winking at Nick. To those who want to tell me it's not okay for a man to dress this way Well you probably have the same hobby

When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief."Thanks."Kit murmured softly when Faust agreed to keep wearing the outfit tomorrow. He had no idea it was required and he just wasn't willing to quite let the look go. It never really crossed his mind that school started tomorrow and the white haired boy would be attending it. He just wanted to see the outfit again. He did wish he could be solid enough to enjoy it more, but maybe tomorrow. The white haired boy promised not to die on him before asking if he needed energy.
"Nah, I just need to 'sleep' for a bit. Don't do anything stupid okay? I can't protect you for a bit."He didn't technically need to yawn, but some habits from life were too ingrained to be ignored. Like holding breath you never needed when surprised or yawning when your energy got low. He flashed a slow, lazy grin at his pet. Murmuring a short goodnight into his yawn before he faded the rest of the way out and vanished into the half-existence that ghosts pulled into in order to gather their energy. It was an almost impossible place to describe because it was both here and there and Kit wasn't often aware while in it.

  ►►► Nick felt Dom settle against him. He turned his cheeks slightly so their faces were just barely touching, wanting to be able to feel as much of the other man as possible since his eyes refused to leave Minagi for even a second. He remembered the girl as the one who had shown up at the end of the destruction and apologized but since he had warned her too about bringing that man back into his sight he was not feeling particularly generous in regards to her safety.
He felt the laugh behind him and continued his glare as Dom politely gave their names. Or he half listened anyway. He was suddenly very busy trying not to be distracted by that small kiss. He needed to focus after all. There were potential murderers in front of them and his brain had to decide that a kiss was worth much more of his attention. It figured.
If Minagi meant to be friendly, he was going about it the wrong way. A wink in conjunction to a vauge reference to Kit felt like a sideways threat. Nick had no reason to think it wasn’t one and he half lunged forward, partially pulling Dom with him if the other male didn’t let go. “You stay away from him!” Nick shouted, trembling with anger and fear. “Tell me what you did to my brother!”

 Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye.... unless you have been drinking. Nick was staying at least semi-relaxed against him, which Dom was thankful for as he didn't want to think of a way to stop a ghost from killing someone. He was hoping that maybe they could get everything worked out between them. Granted, Dom wouldn't trust the Crazy Maid with children ever again, but that didn't mean he deserved to DIE or anything.
The violet haired male tipped his head slightly when no one responded to his polite introduction. Alright, so they were the type his mother usually called, 'uncultured' which she usually said with a sad little sigh to suggest they were on the same level as starving children in New Guinea or something. So they would forever be Crazy Maid and The Chick. He could live with that.
Dom's smile froze halfway in place at the words coming from Crazy Maid, blinking slowly as he tried to figure out if he'd really heard the subtle threat the way he thought he had. No, you'd have to be...crazy...alright, so maybe he did. With a startled yelp, Dom brought his attention back to the situation at hand when Nick suddenly lunged forward. It pulled the violet haired male after him before he spread his feet to brace himself a little better to keep the blonde from ripping the two in the doorway apart.
"Easy, easy."he soothed, bringing his second arm up so he was fully caging the ghost with his body as he turned his gold orbs towards the pair in the doorway. They gained an element of seriousness as he looked between them while Nick shouted a demand to know what he did to their brother.
"If this is a misunderstanding, now would be a good time to clear it up."he told the pair, reaching his senses out and feeling nothing missing from the school. He still couldn't be absolutely sure because he wasn't familiar enough with everything to verify if Nick's brother was alright.

What would you have done to save someone you cared for? I would rather seal their spirits, even if he didn't want me to, then to see him die the same way...Minagi grinned widely. "I'm afraid I can't. He's completely entranced by my little brother. You see I gave him a little gift, a more proper version of his pet..." he mused, uncaringly. This did prove something to him. In some way they were the same, always worrying about there brothers. "Now this next question is a little personal, however mearly a question. Would you kill me if I sealed your brother?" he asked. "Or if Yukio sealed him?"
Whether or not he would understand the meaning of the question, he stayed calm. For what he meant on the subject was his way of saying, 'WOuld you Kill if it meant protecting him?' To those who want to tell me it's not okay for a man to dress this way Well you probably have the same hobby

  ►►► Nick stopped moving but this time did not relax again. He held himself tensed and ready to move at an instant’s notice. Minagi owed Dom in a huge way for calming Nick enough to listen to any kind of reasoning or discussion. The arms wrapped firmly but gently around him kept him from crossing the room and from leaving Dom’s side. But that was the only thing. Uncertainty and playing with Nick’s insecurities about his brother was not the way to win his trust or cooperation or even his grudging tolerance. And it felt to him like this blonde man was laughing at him, refusing to say anything outright and instead using suggestion and hints just to annoy him.
Blue eyes were fierce, emphasizing the truth in Dom’s words. If it wasn’t a threat, it Minagi needed to start back peddling immediately and clear the air. He needed to stop jumping around whatever he was trying to say and find a way to make it simple and clear and convincing enough to get past the haze of anger and worry that was currently narrowing the blonde’s vision to slits.
It did absolutely nothing for his temper to see Minagi grin at him. Did he think this was some kind of joke? That it was a game to play with people’s lives and sanity? Nick felt his hands clench at his sides, nails digging into the palm. The faint unanticipated pain that came with his newly physical self brought him back out of the cloud of red covering his vision. He tried to focus on reason and the words instead. He’d… given Kit a new pet? What the crap did that mean? Maybe he simply meant Yukio was alright. Given how strongly Kit had reacted to the apparent loss of the white haired psychic, that might be enough to win Kit’s temporary good graces. It also meant that Minagi might be trying to actually make up for what he’d done, even if he was going about it rather badly.
He started to settle down, then tensed again at the following question. He stared hard at Minagi and the silence stretched out far longer than was comfortable. When he finally spoke, the single word was ice. “Unquestionably.” Minagi had about five seconds to explain or Nick was going to attack. Even if it was a mistake, he couldn’t take the risk of letting the long haired male get the drop on him again. Not with Kit’s whereabouts and status unknown, not with Dom in the same room. He would strike first unless Minagi’s next words were very, very convincing.

 Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye.... unless you have been drinking. Not used to violence the agitation in the air was making Dom distinctly uncomfortable. His natural response to that was touch. Thankfully Nick was still in his hold so he didn't look quite as strange as his fingers started moving over Nick's stomach much the way someone would work a worry stone. He was almost as tense as his blonde companion as he watched the pair in the doorway and wondered where THIS particular confrontation would end. He was hoping not a fight because it could only end badly from there.
"Pet? Like a raccoon?"he suddenly asked, perking up slightly at the mention of a pet. His head tilting as his gold eyes softened ever so softly as he mentally supplied images of a ghost trying to herd a raccoon...thankfully he wasn't aware of Kit's personality enough to make it anything but innocent. He could understand giving someone a pet to make them feel better. Maybe one with a little pink-what did he just ask?
Dom froze, the lights above him dimming down as he unconsciously pulled harder at the electricity in the walls as the question processed through his mind. Who would honestly ask that of someone? Why would he even suggest that they would continue to try and seal them when it was obvious they didn't mean anyone any harm! From what he could see Crazy Maid was far more of a threat than either ghost. His wide gold orbs jumped to Nick when he answered without a shred of doubt or hesitation. His arms unconsciously tightening around the blonde.
"No, absolutely no."he growled, flashing what might have been a temper for him, but it was mostly just fear, worry, and disbelief. He lifted one hand to point at Crazy Maid. "You! No sealing, you are a TEACHER at this school for goodness sake, act like it! Regardless of your personal feelings Nick and Kit belong to this school and SHOULD be under your protection!"he sharply told the cross dresser in male clothing at the door. His look creepily similar to the one a mother would give to misbehaving children as he turned his head towards Nick. "And you, you are not going to hurt yourself any more, okay? No sealing, no killing."He was shaking slightly, not liking the pathway this conversation had gone at all. He knew Nick really believed he had to kill in order to protect his brother, but there had to be better ways. He didn't want anyone else hurt. The lights in the room and the hallway were flickering brilliantly now, as he tried to glare the two into obedience with his demands. It might have worked better if he didn't look slightly ill at the thought.

What would you have done to save someone you cared for? I would rather seal their spirits, even if he didn't want me to, then to see him die the same way...Minagi couldn't help but laugh. How odd. He answered the same way he would've. This man was a more deadlier version of him. Outwardly anyway. "Hmph...well whether or not you like me, I quite like you. You truly are a devoted brother..." he chuckled. "Just for the fact that now I know we're alike, just by devotion."
However, he did make it sound as if he did something bad to him, so he just smiled and nodded his head down the hallway. "And as for your brother, I truly didn't do a thing to him, except for the fact that his new version of his pet made him quite braindead. Other than that, I did nothing."
"True they do belong here, but since they contacted him, I must keep my eye out for him" he assured the violet hair boy. "I will say something to you that you better promise to do the same. I will only seal your brother if he hurts Yukio in any way. And you be sure to kill me when I do that, okay?"To those who want to tell me it's not okay for a man to dress this way Well you probably have the same hobby

  ►►► Nick twitched very slightly when Dom’s instinctive reaction to the word ‘pet’ was to think of a raccoon. He loved the male but there was seriously something wrong with his definition of what kind of animals were acceptable in a home. He made a note to at some point explain to Dom that when he finally met Kit he should not suggest wild animals as pets or they might find anything Kit could find wandering the school dormitories. Even if Dom might be delighted with that. …hmm. This could be trickier to work out than he thought. But again, that was something that needed to be worked out later, much later.
He saw the overhead lights dim and the power he could feel around Dom rocketed. Nick felt faintly dizzy for an instant and sagged back against Dom as he did his best to recover, chasing away the pleasant surge of electricity against his own form. But it meant Dom was reacting to this just as much as Nick was, getting upset because of the words. At least he didn’t have to explain to Dom that the man was dangerous. He’d been there in the earlier fight and Nick was grateful for that. The arms tightened around him.
Blue eyes widened very slightly at the actual growl coming from Dom’s lips. His gaze even slid away from Minagi for a moment, tilting in the direction of the voice of the male tucked behind him. He wouldn’t have believed Dom could actually sound so upset, but the speech about teachers, about what their roll was supposed to be… Nick suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He forgot at times how strong Dom’s feelings were for his chosen career and knew he had a habit of being very uncharitable towards the idea. If teachers were like what Dom was describing rather than like the long haired bonde, maybe… maybe Nick didn’t have to hate them so very much.
But reality and wishes were two different things and until he saw some major evidence to the contrary Nick was going to continue to treat the staff as threats. This one in particular embodied everything Nick feared and therefore hated. He could hurt Kit again, could potentially get to his younger brother and seal or hurt or banish him before Nick could stop it.
One hand lifted to settle on one of the arms Dom had thrown around him, the small touch a gesture of comfort in instinctual reaction to the shaking he could feel. He didn’t know if it was fear or anger or frustration but he wanted to stop it. “I’m not hurting me,” he protested in a low voice, eyes sliding back to Minagi.
“I am nothing like you!” Nick insisted, strained intensity in his voice. No no no. Nothing like a teacher, nothing like those murderers, like this murderer. No no no. His mind was screaming against the simple words because if he didn’t scream, he might hear the voice telling him he was like them. He’d killed, hadn’t he? In cold blood. For no gain or reason other than revenge. And he was perfectly willing to do it again. He killed and waited for the teachers to kill. Like them. His mind shied away from the idea, locking it away immediately.
He listened as Minagi promised that he had not hurt Kit and that Kit was only occupied by whatever was happening with his pet. Nick wished he would just explain what he meant instead of dancing around the topic but let it go. As long as Kit was safe and somewhere else, it was alright.
“What good would killing you after you seal him be?” Nick asked in a low voice. “That isn’t worth anything. If you are a threat, I will stop you now. Swear to me here and now that you will not touch my brother and I will promise not to touch yours.” And like that, Nick shifted the game. If Minagi was going to threaten Kit, Nick was going to threaten Yukio. He didn’t want to and it made him sick to bring a student into this, but he was getting desperate. He didn’t know if he could even go through with it and prayed Minagi would just take the deal and leave.
