Jack chuckled quietly. He knew the move. It was a defensive stance. He couldn't move directly in. Jack grunted loudly as he charged forward, feigning an attack. At the last moment, he feigned to the side and slashed at Deuce. He juked away, avoiding the slash of the sword. Jack soon returned to his attacking position.
Jack, use the anger to fuel the attack.
"It's a sparring duel you jackass, not a real one."

Crow crawled out along with her and stretched his back a bit. "True...."He said quietly. "Wouldn't do much in killing her now....Now that I no longer stand with the Lycans, so to speak...."He crossed his arms and looked to her. He had a small worried expression, Jack was still out there. He could smell him nearby. "Takiko...."He walked up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Did you really mean...What you said last night? How you never wanted it to end...?"

As Takiko stood there, she inhaled Jack's scent deeply. Goodbye, my dear friend... Takiko knew she would never be able to talk to him, after she told him everything that happened.
It surprised her, to be suddenly embraced by Crow. She turned her head slightly, to look at him through the corner of her eyes. When he asked her, she merely looked forward again, her eyes slowly closing. It was marking the beginning of a new life for her, of a fresh start.
"Yes, I meant every word I said."

So it wasn't just a dream then....
He smiled and held her close. "Are you ready...? It's a big step...."He said quietly as he closed his eyes. "It is forbidden after all....I've made my decision....I will become an exile....For your sake and my own...."He reopened his eyes. "Be ready for the storm soon to come...."He said in almost a whisper. "But I assure you, I will be the person who protects you from the rain...."

Takiko gave a small nod when he asked her if she was ready. "I will be seen as a traitor... A traitor among the vampires..." Takiko knew what was going to happen. She knew, with the mass of lycans and vampires against them, they would not stand a chance. But she would fight by his side, until the end of their days. Takiko always fought, with all her strength and voidmastery, until she was no longer able to breath. Now, it would be until Crow was safe, even if her cold heart allows her a slow death.

Crow stayed quiet. It was true, she would be seen as a traitor. The Coven would either hunt her down, or just throw her to the side. If they hunted her, Crow would be there. He would always be there. He would also be seen as a traitor to his own kind, but that didn't matter. He had her, no Lycan loyalty could measure up to that. His embrace around her seemed to tighten, he didn't want to let her go. Not now, not ever. And especially not to the Coven's merciless hands.

As Jack readied his next attack, he felt a pain in his chest. He grunted loudly as his arm contracted. He shook his head.
Do you feel that Jack? That's stress building up on you.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
I'm not doing a single thing. This is your own problem. You need to talk to Takiko if you ask me. Could be the source of a lot of troubles.
"Will you just leave me alone?!"

Takiko felt his grip on her tighten, and she could understand why. Unfortunatly, she knew she had to go for the moment, she had to talk to Jack... Hopefully, Jack would understand... She did not want to lose another friend...
"C-crow... I have to go explain everything that happened with us to Jack..."
Her voice was cracking slightly as she spoke, dreading the next few moments that were to come.

Crow stayed quiet for a moment, then sighed. He unraveled his arms around her and nodded, "I understand....Just know if he tries anything, I will kill him...."He said quietly. His voice became stern, serious, dark. He wasn't about to lose her the first night he had her as his and his alone. "'I'll be waiting for you right here...."He said quietly.

Takiko nodded, hoping this would not take long. As she made her way out of the crypt, she tried to think of what to say. Her thoughts began to wonder, making her bite her lip. How am I going to do this...?
Just as her thoughts subsided, she looked from the ground she was gazing at; straight at Jack. Now basking in the moonlight, Takiko knew this would not go well.
"Jack..." Takiko's voice was soft, like a whisper in the wind.

Crow watched her leave. He closed his eyes and sighed, this would either only bring trouble to her or would be good for her. Either way, he drew his Desert Eagle once again and reloaded the gun. He locked a round into the barrel, then awaited her return. He was, in a way, watching from afar. They're scents mixed in with one another, he took the safety off the gun and stepped just outside of the crypt. He pushed his back against the wall, and watched silently.

Jack groaned quietly as his hear rate subsided. He shook his head as he turned to face Takiko. He somehow knew where this was going. His worst fears were already in his mind. If they were true, it's not like it could get any worse.
"Yes? What is it ma cushala?"
His fingers twitched as held them tightly behind his back.
"Remember... you did the same thing before... just stay calm."

Takiko could not look at him. She felt like dirt, though at the same time somehow happy for a new life... But why did it have to end this way?!
"I-... I'm so sorry..."
Takiko's voice was just a whisper and cracked a few times when she tried to speak to him. This was going to be much harder than she thought.
"I...Well... When you left... I was just planning on biting him... I just wanted a taste... I had a bit before when Crow and I were fighting... and with the wound, my lust made me crave more of it..."
As Takiko began to explain her story, tears welled in her eyes.
"Things just got out of control... I'm sorry, Jack... You have every right... To hate me, to loathe me, to want me dead, as the rest of the vampires will."

Perfect timing.))
