Kuro faultered a step back when he yelled, and felt tears fill her eyes, yet not letting them fall. She could not move, could not speak, it was all she could do to just to stay standing. Somehow she found the strength to step forward, being careful. . .as though she were afraid.
"Please don't be a dream. . ."She whispered more to herself then to him.

Verge remained still. He watched her eyes fill with tears and suddenly felt a stab of pain and guilt in his heart. "Why is this HAPPENING?! Why...why do I feel this way?!? I shed my name and my heart so I WOULDN'T feel this....but where is this pain coming from?" Thoughts ran through his head like wildfire. What was she expecting? Or more importantly, what was he? His thoughts had never once strayed to Kuro after she'd left him and after his encounters in the Other Dimension. He'd killed Irvine...though he left Kuro mourning over his corpse. He'd felt no pain, no guilt and felt no need to remorse. But now....the pain, the guilt, the NEED to remorse flooded back to him. It burned him from the inside out with a fiery passion. The silence between them was deafening. Verge let out a slow sigh and finally broke the silence.
"I...am no dream. But...I am not Irvine...I'm not....who you think I am....Not anymore anyway..."

"That can't be true." Kuro said softly her voice cracking. "Dammit! It is you!" She stumbled over to him, her hands moving to grip his shirt, the tears slipped from her eyes, leaving wet trails down her cheeks. She breathed in and caught the distinct scent of Irvine, she buried her face into the curve of his neck.
"You once told me that you would never leave me, and I held onto that, hoping that you would come back." Her voice was soft, almost small sounding and her grip was unrelenting. "Has that changed?" She asked quietly.
Her knees felt weak, but she held on, hope clearly being displayed in her eyes. She looked up at him, then stood on tip toes, placing a small chaste kiss on his mouth, not caring what he thought of her at the moment.

Verge closed his eyes as he felt her soft, warm lips touch his. A chilling sensation ran down his spine and a familiar sense and urge to return the kiss filled him.Though Verge caught hold of himself and broke the kiss off, turning his head to the side. He wasn't able to stare her in the eyes. His eyes filled with sorrow and hate. Not for her but for himself.The shades that covered his silver and gold eyes slid down the bridge of his nose, revealing the pain. He turned his head back towards her now tear stained face and brought his thumb up. He wiped the tears off her cheeks and stared softly down at her. His voice was low and he tried to sound soft and gentle.
"Kuro....I killed Irvine. He is dead. And like the Phoenix, I was reborn from the ashes of his death...After you left with Obake, I left with a Lucifer from another dimension and killed my counterpart there....From then on, I've been mercilessly slaying those who do not deserve it....I am not the man you love....And I am not the man who loved you....I'm sorry."
Verge turned away slightly. He wanted to leave but his body wasn't complying. He stood still, his body half turned away towards the part of the forest he'd walked from. "I already know where that path leads..." He found himself thinking this thought oddly enough. That was all he thought about for a moment as the silence that filled the air between them became like a thick wall of ice. Cold and harsh.

"I see. . ." Kuro felt her heart shatter, her mouth drew into a tense straight line as her eyes gave off no feeling of warmth, they were more like dolls eyes, the light seemingly going out. Her hands dropped from his shirt, her knuckles a stark white.
"In the end, Lucifer won, didn't he? He stole your happiness, and he stole my heart. What is the point in living now?" She said so softly that it was barely audible. -Why?- Kuro thought. -Did fate have to torture us this way?- "This is one injury of yours that I can't take onto myself." Slowly she reached up and pulled his glasses away from his face, so she could see his eyes, then just as slowly returned them.
She pulled away from him then and it felt as though her soul was splitting in two. She leaned down and picked up the gun, Innocence.
"I love you and I always will, no matter who you are and what you do, you have the same soul and same heart, I will not let go again." She handed the gun back to him. "When you find yourself, I will be waiting." Kuro wandered back to where her sword lay. "I know that the man I met so many months ago is still within you, the one I fell in love with. To you that might sound foolish, but it's true and you know it."
She sheathed her sword and turned to face him again.
"You became what Lucifer wanted you to become, do not tell me that your mother died in vain. Do not tell me that you no longer love me." She walked back towards him, placing a hand to where his heartbeat was strongest. "Do not become a puppet in his games." She moved past him, her hand fisting to hold over her aching chest. "I love you, remember that."
There she stood, seemingly strong, but with everything showing, she had no secrets now. . .it was the first time she ever felt so naked in front of anyone. . .
. . .and the odds were against her.
OOC: ~wipes sweat off brow~ Woo! Oh no, trouble in paradise. lol sweatdrop

Verge gripped Innocence in his right hand until his knuckles turned white. He glared from underneath his shades at the dark forest around them. He unholstered Impurity and held the gun in his left hand. He looked down at them as she spoke. He closed his eyes and slowly shook his head. Then he cocked back the hammer of both guns and slowy raised Innocence, placing the gun on his shoulder. Impurity he kept at his side. He didn't turn to face her. He couldn't turn to face. Not now. Not with what he knew he had to do.
"You're wrong....I don't love you...atleast not at the moment. I can't afford to love....not now anyways....There are still far too many people left alive for me to be able to feel love....Someone's gotta die....Only this time....I pray it'll be me..."
Verge stepped forward and looked up. He began walking, his coat billowing around his legs just as it caught fire and began to turn to ashes. He gave a fanged smirk as he continued to walk off into the forest as his body began burning from the feet up. He gave a slight snicker as he uttered a goodbye and was gone.
"Goodbye...love."

Kuro stood there for a long while after he left, she was as still as a statue, her skin a pasty pale color. Her eyes were half lidded, her gaze cold, she swallowed. Yellow eyes danced around the dark forest at her, some held amusement, most held resentment.
"So, now do you see?" A deep voice said cruely to her right. "He is not capable of love, he is merely a killing machine, a toy used by the devil." Kuro gritted her teeth, her fangs bared. "You have no choice, you have to come back."
"I do have a choice." She said softly. Then in an instant, she had the much older Wolf-demon pinned to a tree, her sword resting along his neck. "Listen to me well. . . I will not EVER come back to those that betrayed my family and mate, to those who threaten the one I love." Her eyes began to glow with her rage, they changed to amber as her demon blood came boiling to the surface. "I will not give up on him, oh, I may seem childish to you, but I know what my heart tells me." Her hand came to gripped his neck, much like he had done to her last night, yet much tighter, much more painful.
"Wh-where is this power-" The wolf-demon sputtered.
"Does it matter?" Kuro laughed, bitterly. "I am going to kill you. To those that escorted you, hear me well."
With a swipe of her sword, she cut his throat, severing his head from his body.
"All that come for me, will die."She then dropped the body, kicking it out of her way. Her eyes flashed back to blue. She then turned in the directing that the one person who meant most to her had left.
"Someone's gotta die?"Kuro the stared at her blade, blood dripped down from it. She swallowed, the tears now coming into her eyes and she prayed that she would have the strength to do what needed to be done. "Then it will be done by my blade, my love." She then turned on her heel, leaving the body of the wolf-demon behind, heading to Xol's keep.

Aries stretched slightly and re-adjusted herself on the tree roots she was still sitting on. She let her eyes graze through the woods, her mind wandering at the same time.

*Yotsuba had become a pro at surpressing her powers so she seemed to be weak and an easy kill in some people's eyes. She continued to walk, slowly brushing aside foliage until she came across the slight scent of blood. She knelt down on her back feet and sniffed, her cat demon showing more now then ever. She picked up fully on the scent in no time and managed to track it to a single tree branch where the blood seemed to flow into the bark of the tree itself, from a slice from a sword she thought. She got closer to the tree and sniffed it again, having not seen a body or anything yet. A moment later she jolted back and covered her nose while making a squeeking nose trying to get the scent to go away*
"Gahh... damnit.... a dog breed's blood..!"
*She covered her nose with her hands and tried to flush the scent from her nose since she couldnt deal with that strong a scent and that close to her nose. She actually kinda felt stupid, having not picked up on the scent before. While she rushed to try and remove the scent her power started to fluctuate rapidly for a few moments and then die down once she regained her composure*
"...Stupid nose..."
*She muttered to herself as she looked around the tree a little only to take notice to headless wolves body. She felt more stupid now then ever, but being like she was she was kinda attracted to the smell of blood, but with as potant as a full wolf demon's blood could be to her nose, she just felt like an idiot for not picking up on scent sooner and knowing fully what it was*

Aries watched the new figure with great interest.
"Hello?"
She stood up and dusted herself off.

Focht snapped out of his trance suddenly, the smell of fresh blood had reached him. Still sitting on the boulder in the middle of the clearing, he looked around and sighed. Nothing had changed and nothing probably would for only a few people knew of this place. His wolf like ears twitched as a few birds were startled into flight, not really enough to go take a look but it drew his attention anyways. Smiling, he relaxed alittle and laid back on the rock looking up at the sky. It was good to be back home.

Still relaxing, Focht closed his eyes, letting his ears be his guide to what was going on around him. Slowly his tail begain to sway gently over the rock, peace like this used to be a rarity here.
