Welcome to Gaia! ::

"PUT HER DOWN." Despit his steely eyes, she wasn't intimidated. Actually, more than anything, she became even more intense... as if his anger was feeding the fire.... and although Delta had bitten him and been at fault, her maternal instinct kicked in. He was holding her, and they were yelling at each other and pissed.

And like most people (not least of all this emotional woman) in a heated argument, there was a lack of reason and logic. Pure chaos was seeping around her. Logically she knew he wouldn't hurt Delta, but irrationally she was bristled and paranoid for her 'daughter.'

Besides, the faint blush on his cheeks which she took as embarassment of what he had done, coupled with his excuse that Kiro had done exactly had happened to her before seemed unlikely. Especially with Alyosha dressed like he was.

"Oh, just like me? How coincidental." Obviously she didn't believe him.

As she saw how firmly he held her, how upset her poor child looked, and heard his words, rage pent up inside her. Clenching and unclenching her rather small, delicate hands, she looked more silly than intimidating. Muscles in her tensed, making her look on edge, crazed, ready to pounce... but she did none of these. Instead she strove forward steadily, her eyes burning with hatred- not for him, but for the words. The idea she was an unfit mother.

And pulling back she slapped him. Hard. Enough to leave a handprint, but not by any means enough to dislocate a jaw unless he had osteoperosis. She might be a hanyou, and a Shinigami, but it was her psionics that held her power, and as pissed and unfocused as she was, they had a better chance of going wild than actually doing anything condusive.

"You b*****d!" She yelled, her voice crackling like a fire with fury. How dare he. How DARE he!

Alyosha stood there, quietly. She had hit him. Hit him for NO good reason. His jaw clenched tightly, his light fangs showing as he snarled slightly, a gutteral sound deep in his throat. He had no compulsions when it came to returning such a favour. She was a female but she was a youkai and strong, to his mind. All of his sisters had been as strong as he was, after all.

It was only Kiro's voice who checked him, made him hold back, one eye closing to grind out the smarting handmark on his cheek.

Well... Kiro might be easy to startle and easy as hell to embarrass. But he wasn't used to being 'told' in that sort of voice. And he didn't like it at all. He blinked broadly as he asked the question. "W..why? What did I do...?"

He was still shaking a little, and could feel Tsukai squatting tighter in beside his neck. The Aerandir could sense that bad things were going on here. Oh yes... he wished Kiro would just back away slowly...

As Delta was plopped into Syrenrei's hands, she was relieved and started to let little shrieks of "KEE-AAA!" come out, as if to vocalize her discontent at even being captured. Most of these shrieks were directed at Aly who had done nothing more except maybe wound her pride. She wasn't as good at being a warrior as being beautiful, that was for sure, but she still liked to believe she was good at everything.

Turning her attention to Kiro, as if she had heard nothing of him telling her to leave, her anger slowly seemed to go from a boil to a simmer. None of her wrath was directed at Kiro- she considered him an unwitting victim... she couldn't imagine him ever being hurtful. "It's not you who's a villian here."

As her mother addressed Kiro, Delta jumped from her mum's arms to run across the floor and rub against Kiro's legs. Despite all the heated emotions in the room, she wanted petting and comforting.

she had ignored him and now he could see the normally placid Kiro was getting irate. He had explained what had happened and she, in a blind fury, was disregarding him.

Ignoring him. MMPH

He was close to her still and grasped her wrist. Bodily he pulled her and forced her out of the centre main doors, pushing them open and her outside, spilling into the rain darkened sky just as a few drops began to splatter from the heavens. "I SAID get OUT" he repeated, his anger let loose. His muscles were taught, his lips raised against his sharp teeth.

Sy didn't offer any response as she was thrown onto the ground by Aly, who must be an interesting sight to Ieyasu, dressed as he was. His lack of response either meant he was stunned or intimidated. She really didn't care which it was, as both meant she had no want for him to be there.

Her anger was already fading from her into a more depressed spiral, but she wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction of seeing her cry, even if the rain would be a great cover. No, she wasn't about to be weak. Her mother had always said that women used crying as a way to exploit a man's weakness, and it was only a sign of their own. She always tried hard not to cry. This time it involved biting down hard on her inner cheek.

"Terrible mothers as I am, you have fun taking care of Delta." She stood, brushing the wet sand off her clothes fruitlessly. She didn't want to give up her daughter, really, but she couldn't get past Alyosha, and plus she figured if he found her so unsuitable, he was bound to get her a new home anyway.

Turning on her heel she was face to face with the other kitsune. There wasn't as much of a need to hide the complex emotions from him. Her face easily enough showed them, although there was also a steely composure that had not yet broken.
