Kibo walks abovedecks again, his suspicions confirmed as he saw the swirling red aura around Natasha.
Kibo: Geez, calm down, Nats.

"I can't. The most I'll be able to do right now is make things spontaneously combust. Although I'm not completely sure of who I'm angry with, him or you."

Kibo: So I'll assume you just want me to leave you alone?

"Until I manage to calm myself down, yes."
She looks over at Leo who, finally, is beginning to move again.

Kibo switches his blades in their sheathes, making his wings appear, and flying off.

(I can't be bothered to use my other account for Leo any more)
Leo looks at Natasha, smelling her anger but proceeding to talk to her anyway.
"I've been meaning to ask you someth..."
His sentence was cut off by the force of the stream of air ramming him into several barrels on deck.
"Say any more and you'll wish you never befriended a mancer."
"A what?" He choked.
"I can control certain things, My current favourites are fire, air and water...but there are others. I can also read people's thoughts, and I can tell you, dear. The answer is no."
Leo was lifted up by the air and thrown to the deck, vines rose up around him, wrapping tightly around his body.
Leo was panicking. All he wanted was to be with the woman he loved forever, and now it seemed that she was angry with him...and Admiral Kibo was nowhere to be seen. His last hope at being able to survive such vicious attacks had disappeared.

Kibo circles around the fighting top. his hand outstretched, and all of his mancing rune markings activated. Lover's quarrels with mancers had a tendency to become quite violent, and he wasn't about to let Natasha do anything she'd regret.

The vine wound tighter around Leo's body, cracking several of his ribs. Small fires began to burn around his body, not close enough to burn him yet, but hot enough for him to know they were there.

Kibo snaps his fingers, and the vine thins, just enough to snap if it got any tighter on him.
Kibo: I really need to find a Mentismancer to tie to myself...

"Well well well, look who's come to join the party"
Natasha said, her eyes glowing red as she smiled evilly.
The fires surrounding Leo began to advance in on him, burning the flesh on the outer edges of his arms, legs, face, body and hair.
"Come to save him, have you?"

Kibo swoops down, putting out the fire with flaps of his wings. He unsheathes his blade, cutting the vines tying Leo down. He pulls him over his shoulder, snapping his fingers. Anita appears, taking Leo off Kibo's shoulder, and rushing him away, across the water's surface.
Kibo: Why are you doing this, Nats? He loves you.
He flicks his fingers, and the fires and vines disappear. Secretly, he sets up a mental barrier, to keep Natasha from reading his mind.

"I can't let myself fall in love. Everyone who I love ends up dying, like my parents, like Benny. I'll never be able to live wth myself if everyone I care for ends up dying because of me."
Tears streamed down her cheeks,
"I am destined to be alone."

Kibo walks calmly up to her, and flicks her in the forehead.
Kibo: Oh, get over all your I'm-so-alone crap. So you've had a run of bad luck with the love scene. Hell, if I hadn't intervened, you'd have killed your love on you own. Destiny is for people who are too cowardly to get that their life is something they control. Not destiny, not God, not anybody, or anything. You are not destines to be alone, you choose it, all because you're too busy drowning in self-pity to notice all the people around you trying to throw you a friggin' life preserver!

Natasha's eyes flashed red.
"Fine," she hissed, "I want to be alone. It's nice to have company every once in a while but as soon as they get too close, as soon as they begin to want marriage either I mysteriously disappear or they do...thanks to my scare tactics."
She looked at the burnt outline of Leo on the deck, her temper softening. A real tear flowed down her cheek.
"I loved him....love really messes me up. I may have gone a bit too far in trying to scare him off."
She wiped the tear from her cheek.
"I choose my own destiny, yes, but my reasons for choosing such a destiny? I really have no idea why I have such a need to be alone. But something deep inside tells me that I should...for the safety of those around me."
