[IC] love assassination (Xion and lady)

[Xion Demente]

Raph smiled, he loved Jackie's touch. Only hers he didn't really like anyone else touching him at all, it was only Jackie's touch he would ever allow on him. He enjoyed ever second of this, he didn't want it to ever end.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie continued to touch Raph, a smile on her lips sighing in contentedness mixed with sadness. "I don't ever want this to end." She admits a faint thought that at any moment, it could.

[Xion Demente]

Raph just stayed where he was , he heard her speak. "I don't want this to end either haven't been this relaxed in years." He opened his eyes looking out the window, but not moving his head at all otherwise.

[ladyonyx04]

"Let us just agree to let ourselves enjoy it while there is still time to do so." Jackie suggested getting even more relaxed on the bed with his being on her her heart beat settling into a more even rhythm as she calmed down enjoying his being there. She continued to soothingly pull her fingers through his hair a soft melody exiting her lips in a hum, a faint memory of her mother singing it.

[Xion Demente]

Raph smiled a little, closing his eyes he wasn't asleep he was just enjoying the time he had with her. "Jackie you know your fathers coming back home today right? Because I have a few contacts keeping an eye on him so that if he needed any help I would've went without any hesitation." He knew her father was coming back from the information his contacts had given him.

[ladyonyx04]

"Oh yes. My father is coming home today. I almost forgot." Jackie says and softly kisses his forehead. "That's another reason why I love you so." Just knowing that he would protect her father, who was as precious to her as she was to him, made her heart bloom with warmth. "Well...then I suppose I should get up and start heading home if I am to see him. Would you like to come with me?" She asks him softly.

[Xion Demente]

Raph got up, "sure I'll go meet him with you even though he'll start questioning me and everything." He got on a new shirt, his pants were already dry. He would protect Jackie and her father, he almost forgot he grabbed the sword Jackie had bought. "I think you want to give this to him as soon as you see him."

[ladyonyx04]

"Of course. I think he'll like you." Jackie said. She already missed the closeness they had, but wouldn't complain about it. She took the sword and got up from the bed herself. She tied it to her waist not wanting her hands full. And besides, what better way to test the strength of the steel, than to protect herself from an enemy? She kisses Raph's cheek ready to go although she didn't want to at the same time.

[Xion Demente]

Raph grabbed his sword the belt was made a little different, to where all the straps would me in the middle of his chest. He put the sword in its regular spot his back along his spine, the clasp in the middle was a silver dragon. He went out onto the streets, he knew there would be people who wanted to hurt them for the fun of it.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie walked besides Raph, her gait neither too slow nor too quick, doing her best to find if there were people out there going to attack them. She might be trained in martial arts, but she didn't want to hurt anyone. She wouldn't bare it if she did that. No one but the truly guilty deserved to die.

[Xion Demente]

Soon they made it to her house, Raph wasn't really that quit eager to meet her father he had to admit for once he was kinda nervous. The assassin side of him said to back down run while he could, but he kept his feet where they were . In front of the doors, he didn't really meet new people at all he was an assassin after all.

[ladyonyx04]

Jackie smiles brightfully and ran towards the man coming off the horse in front of her house hugging her father tightly love apparent to all there. Zacharias hugged his daughter in return, having missed her completely while he was away. He had been a surly bear while away from his daughter and didnt stay any longer than was necessary to the royal's and their tendency to have things run for days. He notices someone on the stairs, someone he never met, his eyes thinning.
"Daughter. Who is this?" He asked looking at Raphael like one reading another's soul. Jackie noticed the tone that her father had and walked to Raphael.
"Daddy, this is Raphael. He was hired as a blacksmith a little down the road from here. He was going to be blamed for something he did not do yesterday, however, I put a stop to that. Raphael, this is my father, Zacharias de Silva the 'Midas'. Daddy...welcome home." She said the sword in her hands taking it off from her hip. Zacharias studied the sword as he took it. He then looks back at Raphael.
"This is good steal and workmanship. You did well." He said correctly guessing that Raph had done the work on the sword.

[Xion Demente]

Raph swallowed, and nodded when he said it was good workmanship. "I've done swords before, that ones kinda special almost an exact replica of my own fathers ," he let out a breath trying to calm his nerves. Stupid training he got was still telling him to run, shut up the voice in his head did. "It's also been a few years since I've made weapons looks like I still have the skills for it sir."

[ladyonyx04]

Zacharias nods and looks at his daughter. "You have something else to tell me Jacqueline. What is it?" Jackie blushes prettily shuffling her foot a bit under her father's gaze. This was going to be embarrassing, but she knew she wanted his approval.
"I really like him. He's been very nice to me these last couple of days." Jackie says looking her father in the eyes. He once more took a proper look at Raph his eyes getting colder.
"You listen here well. This is my precious angel. Anything happens to her, anything at all, and I'll rip you limb from limb. Slowly. Have I made myself perfectly clear?" He asked having seen how much his daughter loved this man. He also recognized the look of one that had to kill, being in that same place as well once upon a time.

[Xion Demente]

Raph nodded he didn't show any fear to that, "I would rather die than hurt your daughter sir I would rather do the most agonizing thing I can think of than hurting her." He looked at him straight in the eyes, "and I will take care of her sir she is more important to me than my own life I would gladly do anything for her just to see her smile." Raph meant all the words he had just said, he would do anything for Jackie in the least.

[ladyonyx04]

Zacharias stared down Raphael and nods. "Very well. I will put my small trust of the one thing left in this world I care for in your hands to treasure." He said. Jackie smiles putting her arm around Raph's arm a smile on her lips.
"See? I told you he'd like you." She said honestly.

[Xion Demente]

"After giving me the 'I will kill you slowly' speech." He smiled, Raph knew he would have to go back to Jericho soon. That wouldn't be a problem getting there the problem was getting back alive. He needed answers and Ogden was the only one who had those answers, still he would at least spend one more night here then leave tommorrow.

[ladyonyx04]

"Well consider it. He only has me in this world after my mother died trying to give birth to my brother. So he put all his affection and adoration he had left in me, making me who I am today. I think you'll understand once you have a daughter." Jackie said for she figured that no matter how much one might protest it, a lot of fathers held their daughters in the highest esteem. Or at least those with honor did anyway. She looked at Raphael curious. "Your thinking about something pretty hard. Want to share your thoughts with me?" She asked kindly.

[Xion Demente]

"Something you don't really want to hear Jackie trust me on that." Raph know if he told her she would protest and try to get him to stay, it wouldn't work he had to get answers along with getting them away from Jackie if need be. If they wanted him dead he wouldn't drag her into his mess, he would just ride farther away from her and this kingdom to keep her safe.

[ladyonyx04]

There was a sadness in Jackie's eyes as she heard the tone and looked at him properly. Zacharias and the servants had all left them be, knowing this was a moment between the two.
"You're going to leave aren't you?" She asked feeling that the world was cracking around her, giving her less and less to hold onto. Or was that the sensation of the beginnings of a broken heart? She never had one before, yet hadn't wished to neither.
