Kýojin tilted his head with a half smile. "Grazie di tutto," he said quietly in Italian, thanking her. He stepped into the room, glancing around before he shifted his weight, unconsciously unsheathing a trio of nine inch long razor sharp blades that protruded between his knuckles.
-_-_-_-_-_-
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick sighed softly, his fingertips lazily trailing up and down Constance's arm from wrist to shoulder and back.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto shrugged. "Trust me, it's no surprise to me, as you are extremely beautiful and anyone who says different's either blind or flat out stupid," he murmured.

Rosalyn smiled slightly as she backed out of the room. "You're welcome," she said softly. She allowed the door to shut as she went to her own room. She stepped in quickly and leaned back against the doorway. With a shake of her head she went to the bed and lay down. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to drift back asleep. ~~~~~~~~ Constance purred low in her throat as she snuggled against Merrick. Slowly she began to drift off to sleep. The fighting and other activities finally taking its toll on her body. ~~~~~~~~ "I like that thought," Merida chuckled softly as her head rested against Naruto's chest. "I think we should either continue or sleep a little. What are your thoughts?"

Kýojin exhaled as he shifted into a lotus stance, feeling the blades itch slightly as they retracted. He focused, levitating slowly into the air.
-_-_-_-_-_-
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick exhaled as he shifted before dozing lightly.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto chuckled softly. "It's up to you, though I don't mind resting. I personally would enjoy seeing you have 'fun'," he murmured, teasing her as he gently trailed his fingers through her hair and down her back

Kaosujin Ryu maybe another little time skip. Cassandra had woken up before Lorcan, watching him for a moment as he slept. She smiled a little before getting up from the bed and quietly dressing. She slipped out of the room and walked slowly down the halls. They had a peaceful night without incident and she was glad for that. As she rounded the corner she came face to face with Amelia. Cassandra smiled. "Well we passed a peaceful night.""Yes, we did." Amelia said with a nod. "Although I felt a newcomer to our little house. Someone very strong and I would say somewhat unpredictable. For the moment he poses no harm to us. I would say he needs our help.""Yes, I felt it as well." Cassandra said as the two of them began to walk down the hallway together. She didn't know where they were going. It just felt good to walk. ~~~~~~~~~~ Constance got up from the bed, making her way into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and pulled up her shirt slightly to look at her still flat stomach. It was hard to believe she had two babies growing inside of her at this moment. She smiled softly as she ran a hand through her hair. ~~~~~~~~~~ Merida yawned as she sat up and stretched. She had slept peacefully and soundly. It was all simply because she had someone to sleep with her in the bed and hold her. She looked over at Naruto with a smile on her face.

Kýojin had awoken before dawn and as usual, went to train. He had gone through his rigorous warm-up before shifting into his sword training. When he trained, he sometimesdrifted into a state similar to meditation which allowed him to gain a disturbingly accurate sense of everything and everyone near him; it was how he'd escaped. Recently, summoning this trance had become easier and easier.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi sighed softly as she quietly slid out of the very warm bed. She got dressed in comfortable black jeans and a dark maroon shirt. She chuckled as she silently strolled through the halls, not surprised to soon find Cassandra and Amelia.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick was crouching not far from the back door of the house, staring intently with interest at the stranger who was moving at high speed with a katana he had apparently found, though he didn't recognize the slightly curved blade which never stopped moving.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto had one arm flung across Merida's hips while the other was tucked beside his head. The stance seemed remarkably relaxed and vulnerable, yet to the trained eye it was clear even while unconscious and dead to the world he was still very protective of those who wormed into his heart.

Rosalyn had slipped out of her room early in the morning to once again walk through the halls. She knew that the others were awake and would be moving about soon enough. They would have questions that she would need to answer. She stopped when she saw Kyojin training. Her head tilted to the side slightly as she continued to watch him. If she knew that Merrick was there as well, she didn't say anything. ~~~~~~~~~~ Cassandra looked over her shoulder when she heard footsteps coming towards them and smile when she saw Kasumi. "Good morning Kasumi," she said softly as she pushed the hair from her face. The other woman looked happy and Cassandra was glad for that. Kasumi deserved some happiness. "Yes, good morning," Amelia said with a nod as she gently scratched Nala's head. She could hear something in the distance. Someone training if she wasn't mistaken. She whispered something softly and Nala took off down the hall. ~~~~~~~~~~ Merida reached over and gently pushed some hair from Naruto's face. He looked so peaceful as he slept. No one would ever realize what great power he held. She leaned down and gently kissed him on the lips.

Kýojin shifted his weight, the flowing strikes seeming very similar to that of rapids flowing around rocks. He shifted his weight as he noticed a cat dart close to the woman who had assisted him last night as he sheathed the sword in a fluid movement.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi tilted her head with a slight smile. "Good morning everyone," she said with amusement.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick cocked an eyebrow, mildly confused. The style reminded him slightly of a samurai style, yet it seemed too fluid for it. The style seemed to emphasize speed and fluidity over strength and accuracy, at least to him.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto's eyelids fluttered before slowly opening. "Hey, I didn't think my Princess would wake me up," he murmured, teasing her with a reversal of the 'Sleeping Beauty' tale.

Rosalyn looked down as she felt something by her feet. She smiled a little as she reached down and petted the cat. "Hello Nala," she said softly. She lookef back up to see Kyojin looking at them. " Good morning. I am glad to see that you are better." She had pulled up her long hair into a ponytail. ------------- " Well no attacks during the night. I say that's pretty good." Cassandra said with a chuckle. She pushed her hair back over her shoulder. Amelia was quiet as she looked througb Nala's eyes at the stranger. She had never seen him before, but she knew there was something different about him. ------------- Constance left the bathroom and realized that Merrick had left the room already. She closed her eyes and inhaled. She caught is scent and with a smile she began to head in his direction. It amazed her how much hehr senses had grown since she had found him. She hummed softly to herself as she made her way down the halls. ------------ "Well silly, that is because you are the princess," Merida teased as her eyes twinkled with laughter. She couldn't believe how happy she was at this exact moment.

Kýojin cocked his head as he felt the sword tingling against his skin as it melted unnoticed into his skin. "I heal fast, and usually it isn't too bad for me to get a little rest. I've gone as long as four or five days without sleep, though," he said with a shrug. He glanced upward, frowning slightly as he shifted his weight. He wore the same ragged shorts from the previous night, though from a distance his 'belt' seemed to be nothing more than leather rather than its true nature as fur.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi cocked her head slightly, shivering ever so slightly as she felt the chaotic energy flickering from earlier.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick glanced to the side, sensing Constance coming closer.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto snorted softly. "Don't ask me to get into a dress; I'd probably look more like a hairy ape," he said, half joking.
-_-_-_-_-_-

"That's good then. Accelerated healing is always a good thing especially when you have so many wounds." Rosalyn said as she nodded. She didn't realized that she had moved a little closer to him as she looked around. It was already promising to be a beautiful day. She looked back over her shoulder as Constance came through the doorway. Constance had made her way through the halls until she reached the grounds outside. As soon as she stepped through the door she caught sight of not only Merrick, but of her mother and a stranger as well. "Good morning," she said with a smile on her face. "Mother, did you sleep well?""Yes, much better than I have in years," Rosalyn said with a small smile. It was nice to have someone ask after her well being. ~~~~~~~~~~ Cassandra and Amelia both stopped in their tracks as they felt the ripple of energy. They both looked at each other and then to Kasumi as she gave a small shudder. "Someone very powerful is here," Cassandra said softly. "He can either be a great alley, or a terrible foe. Right now I sense no ill meaning towards us.""Nor do I," Amelia said with a small shrug as she continued to look through her familiar's eyes. "He is different than any other I have come across," she murmured softly. ~~~~~~~~~~ Merida laughed as she shook her head, her long hair falling over her shoulders. "No, I dont think a dress would suit you very well. Although I must admit it would be a very interesting sight." She gave him a quick kiss before untangling herself from him and standing, stretching her arms high above her head.

Kýojin shrugged one shoulder, glancing at the feline as he sensed a small amount of energy localizing around the feline's eyes. He shifted his weight, hearing a soft scrape before he twisted, leaning aside as he evaded the stabbing strike from the clawed gauntlet meant to impale him from behind; the man's metallic mask hid all but his eyes beneath his dark blonde hair. His tattoos consist of a purple snake on his chest and two purple bands which circle his upper arm. He wore the maroon and yellow ceremonial trousers, red sash, loafers and white leggings of a matador. "So, your boss is working with him as well," he said, the venom in the word 'him' making it clear to Rosalyn alone that he referred to Damon. "Why wouldn't he? Damon's power will be merged with Bison's soon enough anyway, so it won't matter when he's disposed of," Vega said cockily as he bounced on the balls of his feet.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi frowned as she spotted movement through the window before she started moving in a fluid loping stride quickly towards the rear of the home.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick frowned as the unknown masked man tried to impale the stranger but failed. "It's strange, it's as if he expected that attack. Either he knows a lot more than he's revealing, or it's possible this 'Bison' is working with both the Hunters and Damon," he murmured to Constance. He cocked his head, noticing the kanji glowing slightly in the sunlight. He knew it wasn't a reflection of the sunlight coming off the man's upper back, as the sunlight would have merely reflected its slightly darker brown color rather than a faint crimson glow.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto paused, feeling the chaotic energy edge towards the darker side for a moment as he sensed a slightly weaker malicious energy. "I have a feeling things are going to get more complicated," he muttered under his breath.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Lorcan's eyes snapped open as he felt the clashing energies. He sat up without even thinking about it, feeling the energy shooting up and down his spine like needles that came in almost constant waves. What is that power? It feels barely restrained and extremely close to pissed off, he thought as he swiftly got dressed.

Rosalyn moved slightly, putting herself between the danger and her daughter. It was a mother's pure instinct to protect her child. It was something she had not been able to do all these long years. "Stay back Constance. No need to put yourself in danger. You must protect those you carry."Constance looked to Merrick and nodded slightly. She had thought the same thing. When her mother told her to stay back, to not put herself in harms way, she almost said something. But then she mentioned the babies and that stopped her in her spot. She had nearly forgotten about it in the face of an enemy. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Danger," Amelia said as she hurried after Kasumi, following the vibrations of her footsteps. She didn't have her familiar by her side to guide her, but she was quite capable on her own. Cassandra hurried after the two, sending her thoughts out to Lorcan. "Danger outside Lorcan. Rosalyn is out there with Merrick and Constance..and a stranger I do not know." She knew he had awakened. Who would not have with that powerful energy rolling through the halls? ~~~~~~~~~ "Yes, it seems that we cannot get a break," Merida sighed as she waved her hand and the wardrobe opened. She quickly pulled on a pair of tight, black pants and a dark green tank top.

Kýojin shifted his weight into a modified Ansatsuken stance. He noticed Vega's eyes widening slightly as if a bit surprised. "Bring it," he snapped in a low voice. He wasn't surprised when Vega charged, slashing twice with the gauntlet and opening shallow cuts on his chest before he stepped in as the man shifted for a third slashing strike only to catch a hard pair of jabs to the face, denting the mask before he drove a short upper cut into the man's tricep, making Vega grunt as he swung, aiming to decapitate though he missed and got caught in a belly-to-belly suplex that slammed him with a crunching thud into the ground before a burst of energy in the form of a lavender-blue fireball slammed into Vega's chest and forcing him to stumble backwards before he was elevated skyward from a sliding vertical kick that caught the Spanish fighter under the chin.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi's eyes widened, then narrowed upon seeing the masked man as a low growl of restrained fury escaped her; she had seen him several times over the time she'd been stuck in the Underworld.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick heard the growl and glanced back, mildly surprised at the look of sheer fury on his mother's face. She obviously recognized the masked attacker and hated him.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto exhaled as he tapped a marking on his upper arm before a swirling burst of smoke engulfed him, leaving him in tight black body armor with dark orange-red steel shoulder plates and shin guards over combat sandals. "It seems like whatever it is isn't aimed towards us, or more importantly towards someone else... but whoever this other chaotic energy is," he said quietly, subtly referring to the fact that he'd picked up on Constance's pregnancy as well as Rosalyn had, though in his case it was a slight shift in the woman's scent that had alerted him.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Lorcan was moving swiftly, his Rinnegan eyes glowing slightly. He wore a dark gray vest and black tee shirt over tan cargo pants and cowboy boots.

Kaosujin Ryu sorry for crappy reply or mistakes...on break and writing on my phone Rosalyn recognized the man who was fighting with Kyojin. She had seen him many times and had even heard what he and her brother spoke of. Her eyes were glowing with fury and her rage increased with every moment he was near her. He had loved to taunt her, saying vile things and even touching her. Her skin still crawled at the mere thought of him. She turned her head slightly when she heard the growl. Kasumi was now out here and she too recognized the man with the mask. She turned to make sure her daughter was stil at a safe distance. She knew that Vega knew what Constance looked like and woukld take joy in capturing her to take her to Damon. Rosalyn was vaguely surprised he hadnt noticed her yet. " [color=violet]It would be best if he didnt see you, Constance. He will try his hardest to get at you. I would rather avoid him changing his fighting tactic. We do not wsnt him calling reinforcements." She broadcasted her thoughts to both her daughter and her daughters mate. Constance watched the fight but stayed where she was. She felt thid overwhekming feeling of dread as she watched the masked man fight with the stranger her mother had been speaking to. She looked to her mother when she heard her voice in her head. She hated to run from a fight. Cassandra and Amelia both arrived in time to see the fighting begin. Both fighters were intent on killing each other. The one without the mask was the surge of energy that had been felt earlier. He was not their enemy. --------- Merids shrugged her shoulders. " Either way he is attacking someone within our grounds. He must be stopped."

Kýojin was aware of the watching group as he shifted just in time to evade what would have been a disemboweling strike though he sustained only shallow cuts as a result. He was, however, unaware that as the fight went on, his dark slate irises were starting to darken in color and gain a very slight reddish glow as the kanji on his upper back was glowing more intensely with every passing second. He twisted, narrowly evading the black gloved fist of a tall black disgraced boxer with a crew cut. Vega's claws, however, opened shallow cuts on the inside of the boxer's bicep, making the large boxer curse foully. "Stand still, punk!! Damn it, Vega, I'm going to pound your face in after I deal with this little s**t... I'm going to beat you so bad, your head will be sticking out of your a**," the boxer snarled. Kýojin rolled his eyes as he caught Vega's leg and spun, hurling him into the large boxer and sent them both staggering backwards. He planted one foot, letting his restrained fury boil as the kanji on his upper back ignited in a brilliant crimson glow as a low exhaling growl escaped him.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Kasumi glanced towards Rosalyn, keenly aware that both of them recognized the masked Spanish fighter.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Merrick frowned fractionally. "He's welcome to try... he'll end up wishing he'd never drawn breath," he thought coldly.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Naruto cocked his head slightly. "Damn straight, though I sense that that chaotic energy is slowly growing darker... as if he's letting out his frustrations out on the weaker energy," he said quietly.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Lorcan frowned as he skidded to a stop just behind Cassandra. "His energy.... feels suppressed, as if he has it bound somehow," he said quietly.
