Val was not happy in the least, Kieran was nearly dead, Aidan was in some matter of shock, Youko was pissing her off, and she was pregnant. It would figure that this all happened at once. She ran a hand through her hair and decided against knocking, or even entering the building the correct way, she hadn’t been here since her attack. Quickly she climbed through the window that was in Percy’s room, and looked around for the female, it seemed she was not home yet, which was well. So she looked about memorizing every nook and cranny of the room, and decided it would be best for Kieran if he had clean clothes, picking some up she handed them to Youko silently, and sat in wait.

Persy walked into her room, her face was pale and slightly sick looking. She had been in the garden playing with the kittens but someone else descided to baby sit them so Persy could go inside. She really hadn't taken Kierans leaving very well. Of course she acted happy and bright around the kittens but she could tell that they knew there was something wrong when she told them that daddy would be home soon. She had descided to go into her room where so could be alone to cry and be angry and just miss him. She had said she would wait for him and she was telling the truth. She never left the territory, just waiting for him until he returned because otherwise she would probably go insane. She didn't even have enough energy to be startled when she walked in the door and saw Valient sitting there. "Oh Valient. You startled me." she said quietly, emotionlessly.

Youko followed after Valiant and took the clothes from her and tucked them into the front of his kimono. He stood in the far corner with his eyes closed, leaned against the wall. When Persy entered the room he didn't so much as twitch an ear. He could hear the wear in her voice and sense the tiredness from her.
He was only going to intervene here if he absolutely had to, for now he was nothing more than a wallflower in the corner minding his own business.

Valiant stared at the female without emotion, without anything. What was very un-valiant like was that she didn’t have the whole story, only what she believed.
“Hello Percy, unfortunately I have come not on a social call, rather to ask who the hell gave you the nerve to hurt him to the point he would almost succeed in committing suicide.”
Youko had it a sore spot with her earlier, and now here she was dealing with more cats’ bullshit and the day was still young. She sighed heavily and revisited the urge to shake the other cat.
Damn these situations that never seem to work themselves out.

It took a while for Persy to even comprehend what Valiant was saying it her. It seemed impossible. The Kieran she knew would never do something like that or so she though. Persy just stared plankly at Valiant for a few minutes, her brain slowly trying to understand. "...what?" she asked, her eyes widening. "******** are you talking about?" she almost shouted at Valiant. This couldn't be true. This couldn't be happening. He walked out on her. HE decided to leave her, to abandon her. How could he do this to her? How could he try to abandon her forever? Persy started shaking uncontrolably. This just couldn't happen.

Valiant stared at the other female with hot anger. She stood, ignoring the pain in her stomach and growled low,
“I said, how ******** dare you allow Kieran to get so ******** depressed he would attempt to take his life?!” by the end of her sentence her words had gone from low to a shout. She stood there trying to calm herself without ripping the others head off. She shoved Percy onto the bed and stood standing. She too was shaking now. How dare the other female take this out on her! At least she was letting her know what was going on, which was more then she could say about Aidan.
But sadly underlying that, she was also frustrated that those two were letting their love go to waste. They ACCTUALLY loved each other, they had kits, and she had friends to help her during her time of need… Val had no one. Gods how she hated this all right now.

Youko immediately strode over and pulled Valiant back, holding himself back from shouting at the manx again. "Valiant, you will not touch Persephone again, do you hear me!" he hissed. His white tail flickered angrily. There was enough drama going on as it were and he didn't need another cat fight.
He held out his hand to Persy, his face softer. "I may not know the entire story, but all the same, Persephone can not be held accountable for the actions Kieran chose to do. Unless she was the one who physically caused the damaged to him then the only guilt she holds is by being associated to events that happened prior to his attempt on his life." He said looking back to Val. At that he retreated again a few feet away, ready to intervene again if need be.

The intial shock of hearing such horrid news and being told in such a way as that just didn't seem to sit well with Persy. She had been minding the kits all on her own, waiting every night for a fiance she loved dearly to return and was then disappointed every night when once again he didn't come back. This was the last straw. With all this stress even the calmest cat would loose their cool but loosing her cool was an understatement for what had happened to Persy now. She seemed to just snap. "How dare you Valiant." she glowered, her voice low and deadly. "HOW ******** DARE YOU BLAME ME!" she then screamed pushing herself off the bed and inches away from Valiants face. She was sick of it. She just couldn't deal with it any more.
"HE ******** ABANDONED ME! Am I to blame that he just uped and left like a ******** coward huh? Should I have begged and pleeded and crying every day for him to come back huh? I've been ******** waiting here, in vain it seems, for my ******** fiance whom I ******** love with all of my heart, to return and then you waltz in and telling me he tryed to commit ******** suicide and then expect me to take the blame. That's ******** rich from someone who's basically been a recluse from everyone she once new. Tell me Valiant, when was the last time you had talked to him before you heard of this huh? So don't you dare have the cheek to waltz into my house and ******** expect me to take it okay? Because believe me, I'm ******** sick of taking s**t from everyone." she spat at the cat only inches away from Valiants nose.

… And then valiant lost it.
She crouched low, pouncing on the other, bringing them both to the ground and pulling out one of her various knifes and holding it to Percy’s neck.
“If you ******** come near me Youko I will kill her. She needs to know things and if I have to use fear to tell her so be it!”
She lowered her face to Percy and whispered into her ear…
“Do you even know why it is I left here to become an Anbu, I can guarantee it was kept from you by Kieran. I was raped Percy, I was ******** raped and nearly killed twice. I thought I was worthless until Ishtar taught me otherwise, and now I am content with my life, and here you sit and scold my ways. Suicide is something that is built upon many little things, maybe like being accused of not wanting to be part of something you hold dear, being told you’re a shitty father, and an even worse husband. Its being told all those things and then feeling as though you are worthless. I know the feeling, I may have been stopped but he had NO ONE. So here I am telling you, and getting my past shoved in my face. Perhaps I am a b***h, maybe im a shitty mother, perhaps I am worthless but at least I have not blamed my past on another.” Her voice ended not in a whisper but in low harsh words, as she met the cats mix matched eyes with her own gold and cared not for how much this may hurt, for there was a man she cared for dying, and this woman had somehow been part of the cause“You know the most amazing part, is that your son, the one that you never really even looked at, is the one saving your Fiancée’s life.” , maybe not all, but at least some.

Persy growled. She would feel sympathy for Val eventually. She would be horrified later. But at the moment she couldn't give a s**t about her. She was terrified about what happened to Kieran. She couldn't understand. Sure he seemed a little stressed but nothing out of order. Nothing that would be worth killing yourself over. "I asked him what he wanted to do. I ASKED HIM! I mean for ******** sake Valiant think for a second! I love this man. I really do! He had no one because he ******** made sure I didn't follow okay? I was PROMISED he'd return to me! So I waited and waited! And then you waltz into my ******** house and scare the s**t out of me and then blame me! My past was my fault! But you're ******** blaming someone else for something that had so little to do with her. You want me to take the blame if it makes everything ******** better in an instant then I will. I will happily say that I'm the entire case of this whole ******** situation. But will it fix this? Will this change what he did or make him better. No Valiant it ******** wont. So instead of trying to find someone to blame how about acting being proactive for once in your life?" she growled. She didn't dare more with the knife near her throat. Her scythe was too far away for her to use and she had never been trained in hand to hand combat. "IF I HAD ******** KNOW I WOULD HELP! FUNNY HOW I WASN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO BE TOLD ABOUT IT HUH?" she screamed. "You can ******** guilt me all you want about Ishtar. I stay awake every night thinking about how I wish I could change it, that I could have him back but I ******** can't change that either and that is his choice not mine so don't you dare judge me! It seems he's saved your life too!"

“Your pathetic excuse for parenting is not why I am here. That will be a conversation for another time. However what I am here for if you would shut the ******** up and listen is that Aidan did not know what the hell he was saying, as always. It is impossible to predict what another may do. Yes we may hope, and yes we may pray but I’ll be damned if I’m going to see him be hurt further by you. Abuse comes in two forms, mental and physical. You sat there and yelled at him telling him he did not want to be one of the family, because he did not love Dracal. When really he was making an effort for you to see that he cared about you all, yeah I know he went out and had sake with the boys but ******** everyone needs a break at times. They did nothing and that was the point. All that was going to happen was he was going to tell you about it and talk calmly about the ordeal between Dracal and Nyx, and you basically told him he was worthless. I bet you don’t know what’s in the pocket of his jacket which I gave to Youko for him to have to keep him warm, the one he wore that night. A ring Percy a ******** wedding ring so he could prove to you that he loved you more than life itself. You had everything percy, and you threw it away. I will not allow anyone to see Kieran until he is well, for the stress will be too much. I cannot guarantee that he will ever wish to see you again.” Val doubled over in pain from her stomach, her face now closer to Percy’s now, and her head swimming. The stress was bearing down onto her… and it all seemed to be too much… She was shaking now, trying to hold the knife still so that it would not hurt Percy, for despite the dispute, she did not want to harm the female.
“I’m sorry you had to find out this way, but it was better from me then not at all.”

The male knew better than to try and jump in with Val in such a ready position to strike. He let the scream at each other and hiss, but when Val showed signs of pain and over-doing herself he stepped in pulling Valiant off of Persy and keeping her tight within his grip.
"Valiant, you need to calm yourself now. If you do not, there will be consequences that you will not like and I will not the one who causes them, you will. I dare say you do not want anything to happen." he hissed in her ear. If she stressed herself too much she could loose the little one inside of her. He'd seen it happen before to cats and it was never a pretty sight to a mother who had lost a litter.
"Persephone, you do need to see Valiant's point in this situation. You may see yourself as an innocent party within the matter but I will say this. In all the time that Ishtar has been with us, since when have you tried to visit him. Though you have other, have you taken Dracal to fill Ishtar's gap? Though the boy disregards Kieran and shows little respect, questions his authority and never the less. He spent time with his brother to go drinking, and a mistake was made. But all the same, does he not deserve to be out with his own twin? He drank to much and found himself in a place that was not home, he ran back here to tell you what had happened when he could have kept his mouth shut like most men would." he said, his face almost emotionless. But he spoke the truth, throughout everything he said either he had observed the happenings or one of his Anbu had. Little went on around Ikebokuro that they did not know.

Persy panted as Valiant was pulled off her. She slowly got to her feet, fixing her clothing. She looked at Youko. "He doesn't want anything to do with my Youko. Nothing. In fact I'm quite sure he hates me. I've tried to go and see him but I'm a coward okay. There's nothing worse in the world then knowing that your own son hates you okay." she said to him, trying not to raise her voice anymore. "Dracal was around before Ishtar. I've given out to him again and again about it. I've told him to respect his father. But the child wont listen to me. It's their fight. Kieran and Dracal have to sort it out between themselves because I just can't deal with everything! And for the last time I really don't give a s**t about him going drinking with him brother. I told him that I didn't care. I don't because I believe him that nothing happened. I don't even think that is a problem. I know it was brave for him to tell me. And Valiant. I wish I could take back what I said to him. I really do but I would like to point out you really don't know the full story. You havn't even bothered to listen to my side of the story. And don't you dare for a second that I don't blame myself. I've blamed myself every day since he's left but I have a family and the last thing they need is their mother breaking down. I have to pretend that everything is okay around them when I want to break down and just loose my mind. I asked him to talk over it quietly me and he lost it. I've been going through a lot lately, not that you care, and when he yelled and instead of being calm like I normally am I lost it okay. Any other time it would have just been a stupid fight okay. What do you want from me Valiant? Do you want me to break down? Don't you think I know what I've done? I don't need you to give me any ******** lectures okay. I need to stay strong and you now what it's difficult when you have children whom can't know that you're this close to a ******** nervous breakdown." she said, sitting herself down on the bed. "Are you quite finished then Valiant on telling me what I already know. If I were him I wouldn't take me back. Thus I expect him to do the same. Unlike him, even when my last string breaks I can't just do that. I have to instead just hide it and be ******** happy and cheerful and pretend nothing is happening or that I'm loosing my ******** mind!" she said buring her face in her hands and then running her hands through her hair, just like Kieran always does.

Valiant buried her face into Youko’s kimono shaking like mad. Her legs would have given out on her had she not been using him as her rock in the world. She ignored Percy and felt her stomach flip and give stabbing pains.
“Youko, it feels like I’m being torn apart from the inside.” She whispered to him in a half whimper.
“You would be surprised what I know Percy. And saying that ishtar just proves what you really belive of him, he can hate no one. And he waited for you to come to him, he waited for a long time.” Val said quietly while still buried in Youko’s chest. It was true, she often asked of the others that were in her life before everything had happened. But that was beside the point now; she wanted to leave, to go make sure she was ok. If the kit was lost, oh how the female behind her would pay. Valiant would lose her mind; all of her normal pain would be wiped out in excruciating pain.
“Youko…” She whimpered while clutching to him the best she could.

Youko picked Val up in his arms and stared at Persy. "Everyday I watch fights break out of the stupidest of s**t. I have seen people die, but the hands of others and their own. I too have taken the lives of some; but not without reason. With the blood stains that will never wash away on my hands, those faces never to truly leave my mind. I can still stand everyday and lead the Anbu and not crack under the pressure." He said with an unblinking stare.
"You want to know hardship Persephone, take a step into my shoes. You try looking down at someone with a knife to their throat as they plead for their lives, crying and screaming they'll do anything. But you know they have cause countless others pain, killed, swindled, hurt, stolen from and here they sit before as you play the role of god deciding to let them live or not." he whispered, just loud enough to hear.
"If blood never washed away, I would be covered in it, pure red from head to toe with the blood bath I have lived through. I lost a wife to war, we never had the chance to have children, I loved her more than life itself. Kieran looked to you, you took in the boy, you were the one who needed to teach him respect to begin with, respect for ones elders, for oneself, and those they claim to love, just as well as hate. You failed in that. It is not Kieran's problem to sort out his issues with the boy when he has already tried otherwise he would not have come to you in the first place." he said turning away, ready to leave. He held his tail high, what respect he had for Persephone before was nearly gone.
"Come on Valiant, you need your rest. I'll make sure one of the medics gets you some herbs and water when we get back to the camp." he said with a sigh. The poor manx, she couldn't handle this sort of stress, nor should she be worrying right now when she needed to be fussing more over herself than anything else.
