Already having made up his mind, he was still regretting it as he stepped out of his home. His shield was left at home, after all it wasn't as if he was going out to pick a fight with the split personality known as Terasu. Though part of him hoped that Tera would be triggered to come out. There was some horrible part of him that got turned on by how Tera treated him. It was a sick way of thinking and he tried to push that to the furthest corners of his mind. He was going not to sexually assault Terasu but to have a conversation with him. Right? To the gods he wished he had a hit of drugs right now. As he walked he felt his hands shaking at his sides and thus he tried to hide them behind his back. Taking a rattling breath he felt his nervousness increase the closer he got to Terasu's home. Should he be meeting him there? The last time they had gotten together he had pretty much forced himself onto Tera and then his brother had come in on them. The thought of it still brought red to his cheeks in embarrassment. How would Terasu act when he came to his door un-announced? Would he remember? He wasn't entirely sure how it worked between the personalities...would Tera keep that from him? Or let him know that Kyruie had basically forced himself upon him. His worries escalated until he suddenly couldn't change his mind anymore. The house was suddenly upon him, the door like a monster before him that he would be forced to knock. Shaking slightly he wanted nothing more than to turn away and flee. He felt stupid for being so scared, but...it was no or never. If he ever wanted to see Terasu outside of guarding him he would have to cross this fear now. Raising his hand managed to rap on the door in a rather unsteady fashion. It betrayed how nervous he was feeling.

The door to the house came open after a moment, with Tera opening up the door. He was alone at the moment, his parents having gone out, and he was rather curious as to who was at the door. Someone delivering something? Maybe his magic teacher or her son? Maybe one of them deliverng him some new books? She'd said that she was going through them, looking for books that were to his skill level so it was completely possible. What was behind the door was unexpected though, instead of those he'd been expecting it was instead the very last person he'd been expecting, "Kyruie?" Kyruie had come to visit? Without Ashta it would seem from a quick look around. Shouldn't he be at home? Shouldn't he be planning his... wedding? He opened his mouth up, about to ask, when he felt a dizzy spell over come him. It staggered him, causing him to clutch onto the door knob, before his vision went hazy, then black. A moment later he was standing up right again, shaking his head, before taking a quick step forward to grab hold of Kyruie, "About time you showed up!" Terasu snapped, his anger present as he tightened his hold on the other man. How he wished he had the strength of a warrior at the moment instead of that of a mage, he'd knock Kyruie's head right off his shoulders! A bit of an empty threat as Terasu liked him, to a degree at least. He wouldn't admit to anyone that he might actually like the guy. No, instead he'd just yell at him, that was a lot easier to do with an idiot like this! Didn't he know what he'd been going through? Having to listen to Tera sigh all the time? Talk about how Kyruie was getting marriered and how they... he... he would never see Kyruie again. Terasu shouldn't care, but he did, because Kyruie was the idiot that had had given him a name and saw him as more then a hinderance. It was his fault that was still present when Tera was now safely at home and far from his Oban master. Shouldn't he no longer be needed? And yet here he was... and it all the fault of this idiot who was abandoning them for some woman!

Kyruie had expected perhaps one of Tera's parents to open the door, or perhaps he was hoping that it would be one of his parents at the door to give him another moment to try and collect his thoughts and courage. Instead it was Tera, and given by the rather confused expression on his face it was Tera himself in charge. Then..he seemed to sag, surprised he went to catch Tera only to find that he had ahold of himself already...then he was being shaken. Ah..Terasu was in control now. Somehow that made him feel..more at ease.
"Ah...I am...sorry?" He responded a bit slowly trying not to hide his joy that Terasu was greeting him. Oh lord...he shouldn't be THIS happy. "There...has been a lot..going on..." Kyruie managed as he allowed Terasu to man handle him all he wanted. "Can I come in? Or...did you want to continue shaking me...out here?" He inquired feeling suddenly very impish and impulsive. Though he knew he was in the wrong for staying away for so long, dreading the meeting...now that he was here he felt relief.

Terasu blinked a couple times, then gritted his teeth, "Sorry? That was... quick..." Here he thought that there might be a bit more fight to this, but then again Kyruie had his moments of being rather soft and stupid, didn't he? It was what frustrated him so much about the guy. How he wanted nothing more then to... well, shake him as he was doing now. Of course as he mentioned that there was a 'lot going on' he gave a huffing sound, "So I've heard." He shouldn't be angry, nor should he be jealous, not as though he liked Kyruie so much that having him go off and get married should bother him. No, it was just the fact that Tera was so upset about losing his little friend! That was all it was.
"Eh?" Looking around he realized that shaking Kyruie out in the open where anyone and everyone could see probably wasn't the best idea, was it? No, best that they conduct this sort of business in private before any weird rumors started. Bad enough that Tera's idiot father seemed to have gotten strange ideas in his head already. This would only compound the issues and make things even more tense when they were in the same room with one another. After releasing Kyruie and dusting off his hands he said, "We should probably continue inside where nobody else can see us. Last thing we need is for you to look as though your caught up in some sort of lover's spat, am I right?"
Turning around Terasu headed inside, leaving the door open so that Kyruie could follow along after him. After he was inside, and away from the prying eyes of others he turned around and waited.

Licking his upper lip there was a moment of hesitation as Terasu allowed him into his home. It was dangerous to be left alone with him, though what if his family was home? The thought put him slightly on edge but he entered the home closing the door behind him. Turning around he was surprised to see Terasu glaring at him in a fashion that almost felt like jealousy.
"Ah...where should I start?" He inquired mostly to himself as he rubbed the back of his head with a hand. Though the rumors had mostly likely been spread across the four corners of the world he wasn't entirely sure what extent Tera and Terasu had heard.
"Perhaps we should sit down?" Kyruie suggested feeling a bit on the sheepish side now. He had just moments ago been so thrilled to have Terasu touching him albeit shaking him was more like it. "So...do you normally greet all guests like that? or...am I just special?" He joked nervously trying to lighten the mood as he moved towards what he assumed was a living room area.

"The beginning I'd guess?" Terasu said in a manner dripping with sarcasm. There was a part of him that wanted to demand so many things of Kyruie. Where he'd met her? When was it? Why he was instantly getting married to her. Had he gone and gotten the woman with child so now he was stuck with her? It seemed like an archaic reason but there were always some parents that would demand such a thing he supposed. Especially if the woman was of a good family. The idea made Terasu want to gag but he refrained, he'd let Kyruie explain and then he'd decide if he still wanted to punch him or not. It was currently leaning toward pro punching, but maybe the idiot could win him over? Giving a snort Terasu said, "I'm sure you'd love that, hm? Sitting down with me like last time, only this time your brother doesn't seem to be about to stop you." He saiid, crossing his arms over his chest for a moment while he thought about it. Would he do something like that when he was getting himself a wife? It was possible since it was Kyruie he supposed. Giving a half shrug he said, "Come on then. I suppose we can find somewhere to sit." He debated the room where his parents took guests but decided against it. That would mean dealing with them if they showed up while Kyruie was still about. As such he led him to Tera's room, "Don't get any ideas in your head or I will shake them loose." As he reached the door he turned to look at Kyruie, giving him a once over at the question he asked, before nodding, "Oh yes, you're quite special... in the head, now come on." He said, heading into the room.

Kyruie followed Terasu into his home after he waited a moment for the young man to match his pace. He would of blushed slightly at the comment if it wasn't so dripping with venom, though he figured..baised on how Terasu was reacting they had probably heard most of the rumors. Greaat.
Rubbing his face he felt himself sigh and then went to occupy a section of couch though he was inclined to invite Terasu to sit beside him he was fairly certain he could get clocked in the head if he did. "Yes...well..you seemed to enjoy it..." He managed sounding a bit irritated as he leaned back to look at Terasu.
"You know it isn't like I had planned this to happen...it was my parents who arranged it." He stated with a bit of a humph. Though his comment could of been taken two ways, either him having to guard Tera or his marriage. He was perhaps a bit too vague about it as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Besides...I am not into women.."

Once they were in Tera's room and the door had been closed Terasu moved to sit down on the couch that was off to one side. It was surrounded by various books on magic, something that Terasu ignored at the moment as he watched Kyruie sit down there. Seemed strange to see him there, taking up a spot that was normally reserved for only Tera since nobody else really came in here save for Tera's mother from time to time. He gave a sigh before walking over to sit down on the couch, "Yes... well, I suppose I did provoke you a little..." He muttered, knowing that he had a rather sizable hand in what had happened even though he'd never admit it to anyone outside of Kyruie. He'd been quick to flee the moment that Ashta showed up, not wanting really sure what to do with him. He was there for Tera to deal with, not him.
"Ahhh." Terasu found himself starring at Kyruie as he said that itw as his parents that arranged the marriage. He supposed that he could see that, parents like to get in the way of... well, everything it would seem. At least from what he'd seen, "So they're marrying you off? Trying to put you on the 'right path' I take it?" Given the troubles that Kyruie had, the sort his parents could never understand, troubles that had made Kyruie appealing to Tera and Terasu alike. Not that it exactly mattered if he was getting married, somehow he doubted they would see each other again. Not as though Kyruie being around Tera had ever been something either side's parents seemed pleased with.
At the mention of Kyruie being not 'into women' he said, "So that definitely scratches out my assumption that you got someone knocked up." He settled back against the back of the couch, arms crossing over his chest, "So instead of women you're into weirdos I take it?" It explained why Kyruie showed interest in Tera and Terasu after all, nothing was weirder then their situation.

Kyruie snorted and nodded his head at Terasu's comment about being put on the 'right track'. "Whatever track they want me to be on..yeah..I guess so. My brother has been trying to get me on the 'right track' for awhile now. I suppose I should be thankful to him...but sometimes I wish my family would leave me alone.." He stated a bit on the venomous side, though it was true he was happy to be ruinited with his family. They had only clung to the memories of what he had been, not what he was now.
At the comment about him knocking up someone he just...stared at Terasu for a long moment before he began to chortle. "What..do you think I try and seduce anything that walks on two legs? I know I am not myself when I am...under the influence. But even when I was a slave I was only used for sex..I never got a choice whom my partner was. " He stated rather nonchalantly. "Sides...why don't you come closer...or are you still angry with me for not coming to you sooner?" Kyruie inquired wanting Terasu to come closer, it made him very aware of where they were located. Terasu's bedroom.
"I don't know if it helps you feel better, but the woman I am engaged to is a girl that I grew up with before I was sold into the sex trade. I can't picture her anything beyond a child hood friend...they idea of becoming her husband..is rather off putting. I still need to talk to her...see if she is against this marriage...but knowing my parents they won't let me back out of it." Kyruie sighed and rolled his neck before he leaned forward clasping his hands together to hide the trembling in his fingers. "I don't know what to do...."

Terasu gave a sort of grunt of agreement. If the mother would leave Tera with some breathing room he wouldn't go about trying to sneak off every moment she looked in the other direction... but then again Tera sneaking off was likely what made her want to cling so tightly to him. Add in the father that wanted Tera gone and it was mixing into the perfect storm... as such he understood full well what he meant about wanting to be left alone by one's family. At least wanting Tera to be left alone by them, which would make Terasu's existence easier.
"How am I supposed to know? You jumped Tera during one of your first meetings, then met during another, maybe you are the sort to go after whoever is closest." Not that Kyruie had seemed to be chasing tail other times he'd met him. Instead his mind had been on other things so maybe he wasn't so bad? He was dragged from such thoughts as Kyruie commented on him 'coming closer' the asked if he was still angry with Kyruie for not coming sooner. It was something that made him flush a little before he said, "W-Why would that bother me? It's not as though I am pining for you!" Said in a manner that was too quick and with too much nonchalance to sound as though it were anything but a lie. Maybe he had been waiting for him? Kind of... he was the only one that dealt with Terasu in the manner he did.
Terasu wanted to get mad as Kyruie spoke of his woman but it was hard to, there was too much disconnect between the two. Kyruie even went as far as to say that the idea of being married to her was 'off putting'... and for some reason he was pleased with that. A horrible thought for him to have indeed. As he seemed to fold in on himself a bit, hands clasped, head down, Terasu could only stare for a moment. It really was bothering him, wasn't it? Reaching out a hand from where he sat he caught hold of a lock of Kyruie's hair, giving it a tug, "Not long before Tera is thrown out, and he's been considering going to Zena after you're married, you can always run away and join us... him... whatever."

Kyruie was surprised to hear the retort and how quickly Terasu said it made a small curious smile on his lips. So...Terasu did miss him. Or was it Tera? He bit his lower lip by accident when his hair was being tugged on. He raised his head to look at Terasu with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Did...he just hear right? Did Terasu just offer to have them run away together?
Leaning back he couldn't help but try to smother a laugh with one hand. How ironic that the thought had crossed his mind more than once. Though he had dismissed it mostly due to the fact he was pretty sure he would be forcing Terasu to come with him. Never mind the fact the drug habit was rather hard to travel with. "Sorry..I..didn't think that a similar thought would of crossed both our minds...it does make me happy though..to hear that you want me to come with you." He murmured looking up at the ceiling a sad expression crossing his face.
"Its easy enough to run away from the marriage...but I have other..demons that are not so easy to get away from. I don't want to risk hurting you with a fit of withdrawl. Until I can get a better handle on my cravings its a bit risky to go gallivanting off.." He explained his gaze moving to Terasu who was now close enough to to catch hold of. Reaching out he clasped one of Terasu's hands before pulling him down to the couch beside him. "I appreciate the thought though..." Kyruie murmured realizing awkwardly how...much his muscle mass had grown compared to the think body of a magic user. It was unsettling to feel strong...he would rather feel submissive.

Terasu gave a half shrug, "It's the one that makes the most sense given the situation." He muttered, finding himself wondering what that meant. Something that crossed 'both' their minds, so Kyruie had thought about the same thing? He'd actually considered running away with Terasu? Odd... though given the look on his face he could tell that Kyruie wasn't coming. He wouldn't look so sad if he was actually going to leave with Matori and accompany Tera and Terasu to Zena.
"I can..." It was a thought that he instantly quashed, not even letting more then a part of it escape from him. Claiming he could 'heal himself' was a stupid idea, it only invited the worst, and he was supposed to protect Tera, not bring danger to him just because he felt some sort of possessive jealousy. He should be happy that Kyruie and all his problems wouldn't be hanging around! He should be happy that he didn't have to risk Tera or himself against the strength that Kyruie seemed to be gaining in his training with Ashta. Sighing as he found himself pulled closer to Kyruie he said, "Yeah, it was silly thought anyway I guess. I bet all the money that I don't have that even if we tried to sneak off that Ashta would find us within a day anyway." He doubted that his brother would let them get away if he was so eager to get his brother on the 'right path' which he seemed to want to do.
Leaning back against the sofa he asked quietly, "So do you think you're going to do it then? Get married I mean." He supposed that it wasn't his business what Kyruie did and yet he couldn't help but to ask anyway.

Kyruie looked over to Terasu with a curious expression when he had started speaking and then cut himself off. Whatever it was that he was trying to get across would not come out it seem. The idea of Ashta hunting them down was quite frankly frightening and all too likely to happen. Shivering he nodded his head,
"I doubt it would even be a day..." Kyruie managed with a sigh, his brother probably would of figured out that he would run away and would of prevented it by all means. Having Terasu sitting beside him though it was hard to not want to pounce him though the desire was rather spoiled when the subject of marriage was brought up again.
Looking away from Terasu he sighed before looking up at the ceiling. "I don't want to...but I don't think I have a choice. I am going to talk to Sriina and see what she thinks of it. If she is against it as well there is a chance it won't go through. " He was trying to be hopeful, but given how adament his parents were about him getting married...it was a very thin hope.
Gently he placed a hand on Terasu's his thumb strokeing the back of it as he mulled for a bit. It was very unusual for him to be so gentle.

"Feh... I see..." It was almost amusing, Kyruie was adamantly against this and yet he was being forced to go through with it anyway. How were his parents acting in a way that was better then some Obans? He wondered what else they meant to foist upon Kyruie? Would they force him to have a dozen brats despite his disinterest in this 'Sriina' and women in general? Did they thing marriage and whelps would fix what was wrong with Kyruie? It seemed to be as good a plan as the one Tera's father had come up with, that being to deny Tera was even his son to avoid having to deal with Tera's issues.
He couldn't really find it in his heart to even try to look at it from their perspective, not when they had zero clue what Kyruie had been through. Giving a sigh he said, "A shame I'm not better with magic or else maybe I could use it to kidnap you against your will at some point." He said, feeling that if it was 'against Kyruie's will' that they wouldn't be able to get mad at him or blame him for disappearing. A shame that Terasu didn't put in nearly the same effort as Tera when it came to magic... in that he didn't really bother at all. Maybe he should start to care if only to use the magic for things that he wanted?
Shaking his head he found himself for a moment glancing down at the hand that was laying on his, watching it for a moment before he laced their fingers together. As he did so he looked away, unable to really face Kyruie after doing such a silly, childish thing. It was all he could think to do at the moment. Holding hands like a couple of younglings, how foolish he thought to himself... though it didn't cause him to let Kyruie go so quickly. Instead he sat in silence for a while before he said, "As much as I hate to say it, you really do need to tell 'him' too." Referring to Tera. Not that he wanted to give back control so quickly, but it really was something that Kyruie should do. If he were to go home before talking to Tera then Tera would likely mope about. Not something he wanted to deal with.

Kyruie felt the shift as their fingers were laced together, he felt himself relax slightly and he wanted to turn and kiss Terasu but even as he turned his head he froze when Tera's name was brought up. He would have to explain things to him as well? It was so much easier to deal with Terasu...strangely enough. But with Tera it felt like he was dealing with something extremely fragile.
"I know.." He stated before he finally turned his entire body to face Terasu, "I don't want to hurt him though..." Kyruie managed before he leaned in to kiss Terasu on the lips. It was a lingering kiss, a hungry one but he managed to pull away despite himself wanting more. Feeling his body tremble he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes a moment.
"How much does he remember? When I am with you...when we do these things?" He inquired sounding tired, as if trying to figure out what he needed to explain to Tera...
