- Tatsu - _____________________________________ Tatsu caught the sword with no problem. Sneak passed enemy lines. Find a smith named Nora, and exchange her current sword for another. So much for the plan of just joining and resting. He thought about a warm bed for weeks while traveling but he guess that was going to have to wait. But the task seemed simple enough, having the power to blend in the shadows came in handy at times like this. "Seems easy enough. May I have your name, miss? I'd at least like to tell her who sent me." he said.

Ten shook her head no. "She'll know who it's from."

- Tatsu - _____________________________________ "Very well, I'll be back in an hour. Two hours tops." he said lighting another cigarette as he turned around starting toward the exit. Twirling the sword between his fingers as he took another puff. He then put the tobacco stick into his mouth and opened the doors with his free hand.[Exits]

- Tatsu - _____________________________________ A murder of crows flew into the room then all huddled together to form Tatsu. He slowly walked towards the area where the woman and he had last confronted. He then pulled out the blade of which the blacksmith gave him and slammed down into the marbled floor. "The deed is done. Am I in now?" he asked. He longed for a bed now, his power was fading slowly but surely. He barely was able to pull off his crow transformation just now. Dust was tired too, he could tell that his wing's speed had decreased and was having trouble transmitting scouting images to him.

"You make go find a place to rest now." Ten nodded to the new young member and took her sword.

Ten sat in a near by seat as she watched Tatsu walk away. She began to look at her sword. Nora had been right, it was heavy, and clunky, it surely wasn’t a swift and light as the one her son had made Nora. She loved that sword, it stayed with her for the last 3 years, and with it’s artistic handle in which had been carved with her son’s craftsmanship talent, the blade he threw together himself, Ten fell in love with it. Ten was sure she only loved that sword as much as she did was only because Eleven had made it, and apart of her wanted him to be with her, apart of her wanted to still be apart of him. But his love—His love for her had seemed to have vanished. While her and Nine were over, Eleven in her heart was not. That was her son, her baby, the little boy she wanted so badly for so long, and finally was able to raise and embrace him. He turned into a man, completely different from herself, and her husband. She was proud of who he became, even if he was not proud to be her son.
After the resent break up with Diamond, that look in Judal’s eyes, in a way Ten wanted to embrace him, and hold him in a motherly way. She saw him like a son, but that look that fell upon his face when she found him, was that same look and Disappointment her son had when he saw her. Ten realized, her response to Judal was cold and evil, and now, she wished she had responded differently to him.
As Ten analyzed her sword, untouched by Nora in any way, her face reflected in it, showing her eyes, her blonde hair that had been pulled back for as long as the last 3 years. She never wore it back. Her eyes, her eyes were no longer blue, but were dark, and corrupted. But even so, Ten stared at herself. She saw her dad with those eyes. Before her was truly her Father’s daughter, full of corruption, full of evil, and desiring more than she had before, and so she turned on her family to get what she wanted, just as her dad did to her and her family, to side with Nine’s father. It was ironic. In the end, Nine’s dad and hers became at war with one another, after years of friendship. And now, there she was, in the same position with Nine.
She was disgusted by her father’s features in her face, and for a moment, Nine stood beside her in her reflection. Ten quickly turned around, thinking her husband was truly behind her, but her mind, it was now playing tricks on her, and as she looked back into the steel blade, there, there he was again. Nine standing beside her.
In frustration, furry, sadness, confusion and some regret, Ten threw her sword against the tile floor, breaking it and the marble flooring to pieces.

Nine  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We shouldn't pretend he really loved either one of us. Eleven always was a complicated child." Nine spoke from behind the woman he had married centuries ago. The moment had come where he needed to make a choice and the choice had been made. He was done standing by and watching people take advantage of the one he loved. "Then again we didn't have the best relationship with our parents either did we?" Nine had been in Ten's head again. He had little care for such small intrusions these days. His son always made a point to apologize, Nine did not. If someone didn't want him in their head they had better work for it. Nine ran his fingers along the walls in the room. The Doma seemed ill prepared for someone like him. He had walked in and gotten past the guards with ease, none of them would remember seeing him, but that did not excuse their errors.

☉☉☉If I do not love, I am nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.☉☉☉
When Ten heard that familiar voice, and felt that familiar energy, her eyes widen as she quickly stumbled onto her feet from the chair she had been sitting in. And than there he was. For the last 3 years Ten couldn’t stand looking in a mirror without Nine standing right next to her. That’s how she knew everyday she still loved him. It was a love that just didn’t die out. But she stopped loving herself after so long.
"Nine--"
Ten was shocked by her husband’s sudden presence. She just stared at him for a moment. It seemed so unreal he was before her. She was for sure she was never going to see her husband again for as long as she lived. Their last encounter was less than pleasant as he grabbed her unexpectedly, in a violent manner.
"What are you doing here--? You--you need to leave." Ten stumbled and spoke hesitantly over her words.

Nine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh I don't need to leave. Who here poses any threat to me? Well collectively they might, but I doubt they will be able to organize that efficiently given the orders I gave the guards." Nine said as he looked around the room. It was certainly an upgrade from his cave. Turns out trying to rule the world does pay off. He took a few steps around the room inspecting it passively. "So this is where you have been staying? It's nice... a little dark for my taste but then again I have recently been on a cave kick. Oh you should she my current cave. Large but not showy, moderately decorated. Bed, table, chess board, tea, wine. Lot's of things." Nine had avoided answering the question as to why he was here. Before he said anything concrete he wanted to see Ten at her angriest to see if she had changed.

In a way, Nine was right. Eleven was an odd child, even as an infant, he didn't want to be cuddled or loved, and grew up the same way. Even though he looked just like Nine did in his youth, Eleven truly was nothing like his father. Apart of that killed Ten inside, for she tried everything she could to have Eleven feel beyond unconditional love. Nine and Ten were nothing like either one of their parents, at least, until Ten sided with the Doma.
Nine was partially right, no one there currently could stop him, not even Gyouken.
Ten looked at her husband in confusion as he mentioned his cave. Cave? What was he doing in a cave? What happened to their living space at the Zaibatsu?
That's when it hit Ten. She had forgotten. He had died. She felt it back when it had happened, and While he was in a new body that looked only slightly different, she felt like she didn’t know him anymore. She was sure he felt the same way about her. She didn’t even know him anymore. She didn’t even know herself. They had become complete strangers to one another. She hated it, she hated the feeling she couldn’t connect with her husband, that lack of trust that had been built up between them. They had built a bond so strong that it lasted them over a thousand years, but in just 36 months, everything they had built was ruined.
"I asked you a question Nine--" Ten said in an annoyed manner. "Why are you here?"

Nine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ten I don't take sides. I never lived in the Zaibatsu, sure I had a room but, it was just a room, empty almost all the time. I don't take sides but I also do not fight do murder innocent people." Nine explained as he read through her thoughts, no one could keep him from their mind that was what made him frightening most of the time. If it really came down to it, everyone would have to work together to stop him. That was when nine came across Ten remembering he had died and he commented. "When you attacked the Zaibatsu, I had Eleven kill me. I had gone to far into the darkness and was going to do something I should never do. I was going to murder them all, one by one until not a single stood. Eleven stopped me because I forced him too." Having explained that Nine continued to inspect the room in the same passive way. It was then that Ten asked him the question again and once more he changed the topic. "Why are you here? Why come to the Doma? What did they have to offer that I didn't?"

☉☉☉If I do not love, I am nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.☉☉☉
Ten took a step back from Nine as he stated he didn’t murder innocent people. “I can go into your thoughts too Nine.” Ten had no idea, it was their son who had killed Nine, and when she heard this, she closed her eyes and let out a painful sigh. She knew this had to have been hard for him, emotionally destructive for even someone who acts like they have none. If Ten had been around, she could have done it, and not only that, could have been there for Nine during his mental recovery. But, As she stared at her husband’s eyes, they were clear, unlike her eyes. His body was a bit different, his face as well, but over all he embodied the full package of nine. Maybe that was the reset button she needed.
“Don’t change the subject Nine. I’m not falling for your reverse psychology crap—“ Nine knew darn well why Ten left. It wasn’t that he didn’t have anything to offer that the Doma did—Ten knew that. The knew the reason stemed much deeper inside of Ten. Ten wasn’t going to answer him, even though she had a lot to say.
Ten had worked hard in the Doma to make sure Nine and Eleven were always protected, and for them to be unharmed by any of the members. But at this moment, Ten was frustrated with Nine, she had been for years, so she began to push him out as he passively walked around the room, admiring it’s decor. Who was he to just show up, after three years of destruction, and putting fear in the Zaibatsu? “If you have no reason for being here than leave. Go.” Ten pushed his large body few more times. She felt like they were married again, her telling him what to do, him not listening, and she trying to force him to do it, which ended up in an argument, and ultimately Ten got her way, somehow. But this time, there was a good chance it wouldn't end up that way.

Nine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nine silently listened to Ten speak about his methods and when she began to push him towards the door he let her the first few times. Once he was tired of being moved Nine vanished, and reappeared behind Ten. He was once again inspecting the room and once again avoiding Ten's question. She would have to try harder if she wanted to know why he had come here. She would have to earn the response and he was not yet sure what would earn that response but he knew she would find a way. When she was honest again, she would have earned it. "Why come here? To spite me? to try and destroy what I wanted to protect? Well you have, oh yes you have and it was not the Zaibatsu. Ten I didn't leave for them, the war forced me into the same darkness my father had felt. I left to protect what mattered most to me. I fought endlessly for sixteen years to protect the one thing in life I cared for. I ran into the darkness to keep her safe from the man I was becoming. Ten, I did all of it for you and you stabbed me in the back. Now you won't even tell me why. Maybe I did make a mistake coming here. Maybe you did, maybe we both made the same mistake."
