Welcome to Gaia! ::

Takiko's muscles tensed from the pain. She held one hand to the coffin beside her for support.
"I don't care if I shouldn't move." Her pain-stricken voice told him. "This pain is nothing if I... lose you..." The pained voice let out a groan of increased pain. Cold tears poured down her cheeks what she said.
"That was just bullshit I told Kyrre so he would let me in the Coven. Then, I hoped, would minimize the fighting and worry you would have to go through."

As soon as she felt the slicing sound of the knife, through the air, she spun quickly and snapped up her arm, snatching the knife from the air and as sober as ever she snapped up reflexively, like a cat and spins her arm forward once, lashing it right back at him and literally slicing off his hair ends, as she takes her stop in a leaning position, with her legs spread to catch her balance and stop the spin. She chuckled soflty, "Do you honestly think I would let my guard down that easily Diego? You are as dumb as you look if you didn't see right past my 'drunk act'....no, I take that back.." she pauses and then her lips curve slightly as is spreads into a cocky grin, "Your dumber than anyone could assume you are.." she finishes and then chuckles menacingly and stands there, waiting for him to get all pissy and try to fight her again.

She then chuckles at his pathetic insult, "First of all, when I point out an insult, I actually have proof of it to back it up, you don't even know half of who I am, so get a grip and stop using your pathetic, 'shes a whore' insults and save it for someone who gives a s**t about what you think, ok Diego? If anything your possibly the least important person here and your "true love" proved that when she killed you.." her words are thrown bluntly and maliciously as they have probably already pierced his pride by now....maybe even his heart.

He caught the weapon by the blade as it passed by between his thumb and fore finger. She had used the same insult over and over in differing forms that it didnt bother him any mnore. "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." He shrugged his shoulders. "Besides I'm getting bored with fighting you. For all that you speak and boast the only fight you have ever won was... ohh wait you haven't come close to beating me yet have you?"

He twitched slightly as she sat on the grave. "Get off that grave now." His entire body went rigid withh hate.

"Get off the grave now Alethea." His voice was deathly threatening. His fists clenched tight enough to make his palms bleed. His black blood dripped to the graveyard ground.

Takiko looked at him sadly, not sure how she could prove to him. She could barely express it with words. The hand that was wrapped around her side, pressing against her stiches in pain, let go. It gently caressed the side of his cheek, her thumb feeling the corner of his lips for a second. The way her cold touch radiated against his warmth, it was enough to let him know, from her expression and touch, if she had a heart, it would be beating now, just from his touch.

Alethea then shook her head, "Exactly, it's about respect. I tried to respect your past until you disrespected mine. Have respect for a past because that man is a memory and just as I have memories, I have a past too....just because I can smile without getting even to feel good about myself, doesn't mean I'm perfect or my life is." she stares him in the eyes as he approaches and she slowly slides off the grave and then without him knowing, there is a white rose in her same place after she gets off and she stands, waiting for him to make a choice.
