When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

'He really does love my hair' Seishu muses as Enasi has another one of his little panic attacks over his reopened wound. He makes sure to stay as still as possible while Enasi tries his best to keep his blood in his body. “Really? Why? You can be so dumb sometimes.” He murmurs, placing a light kiss to the top of Enasi's head to keep him from getting too mad at the comment. He lets out a low happy purr at the direct treatment from his counterpart, wondering how long it's going to take to hear the same noise from the male. 'I'm still determined to hear it. We may be on the edge of something dangerous, something that if handles wrongly could be beyond bad, but I never go back on my decisions once made'

Finn moves to the other side of the bed, the interplay of strange energy between them keeping him fascinated. He doesn't even notice when he take a seat on the other side of the bed from Enasi. 'Normally when I'm around Lord Enasi, I feel happy, his positive energy so strong. . .But this, this is different. It's like they are playing off of each other' He looks up at his sister's entrance, smiling at her upbeat attitude. However when the doctor soon follows he stands and gets out of the way.

Seishu cocks and eyebrow. “I have no such wish. Death sucks, trust me I know.” He chuckles at the sight of Enasi trying to hide, pulling the pillow away so Crios can get to work. Starla wanders over to stand next to her brother and Seishu fires the a fond glance before replying to Crios's inquiry. “Well, We were talking, I bit Enasi's head off, he ripped me a new one, and I had to hunt him down in my own room so we could kiss and make up!” Crios raises and eyebrow at the statement and the siblings' eye widen.

“I see.” Crios says shortly, cutting away the bandages and pulling out his needles. “And you absolutely had to hunt him down and kiss him to make up? You couldn't just, say, apologize from your bed?” There is a tenseness to Crios's voice and Seishu knows that there is more to his question than the words themselves.

Seishu's smile stays firmly on his lips, but his eyes become serious. “Nope. Fight was a little too serious for that. And I didn't kiss him, I said we kissed and made up.” His voice takes on a note of sadness as his voice trail off. T wasn't like either of them had blatantly expressed their love for one another in words, so Seishu, pessimist that he is, does not begin to assume such things.

Crios remains a little tense as Seishu speaks, doing his work quickly but expertly. Then with a little sigh he relaxes a little bit. 'He's still keeping to his promise, not that I ever doubted he would, but still. . . .' “Well, I'm glad you made up, but next time, keep yourself in bed or I'll have your hide for a coat, got it?” Crios gives him a withering look before smiling at Enasi. “I'm glad, too, that you seem to be feeling better. We were getting a little worried about you.” Pulling out a pair of scissors he clips the thread to Seishu's new stitches and cleans the area before asking Enasi if he would help him put on some new bandages.

The plant kids watch the interaction, Starla watching with rapt attention to see if she can pick anything up, and Finn with open curiosity. “I think Doctor Crios and the others have a better sense of Lord Enasi than we do.” Starla whispers. Finn nods in agreement.

With a sigh Rue looks off towards Seishu's room. Sensing a settling in the riled energies he counts to ten before standing up. Inui stands with him a curious expression on his face. “What is it Rue?” He murmurs. His cheeks still a little flush from Rue playing with his hair yet again.

Rue stares off towards the room a few more seconds before responding. “I think it's time to go back. The feelings there have changed.” Inui can not sense the change, but he takes Rue's word for it. Together they set out towards the Nightmare Guardian's room, Rue breaking out in yet another story. Inui does not mind however, happy to finally have a friend.

Cute, ain't he :P

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

'One guess what kept you up then' Kuro thinks victoriously. Content that he's getting to the kid Kuro settles in more comfortably.

~*~*~*~*~*~

With a sigh Fenrir throws down his quill and covers his eyes with the back of his wrist. He'd just finished looking over the report of all the things young what's-his-face has been using up on each visit, the list getting longer and longer with each trip and the overworked angel doesn't know what to do. 'He shouldn't need more each time, unless his guards really are laying into him and messing up the little brat's work. That is beyond foolishness, but I don't know the guards all that well. They should know that attacking him in between sessions is just numbing him to the pain, and wasting out resources!' Sitting back up strait Fenrir decides to assess the situation himself. Grabbing his own kit, kept in a nice leather messenger bag behind his desk, he swings it over his shoulder and heads down to the prison.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A low growl erupts from his lips once more as Aoba helps him sit up and the guard frightens the poor thing. 'I swear, he doesn't stop that, I'ma bite him next time he's close enough' He keeps the growl quiet, his eyes looking sympathetic towards Aoba as he continues working. “Don't mind him Little Mouse, I guessing he didn't get enough sleep last night either.” He leaves off what he thinks the angel was doing instead of sleeping as to not scare Aoba. He sits still for the bandaging and smiles as the little one seems to sit ready for his post treatment prize. A smirk finds it's way to his lips as he sees the guards climb to their feet and approach the door. “Little Mouse, no power in Heaven nor Hell would ever make me so ungrateful as to not give you as much as I can in thanks for such a service.” Before the guards can respond Kuro leans in and places a peck on the tip of Aoba's nose. Even as they rush in he whispers, “Good job, Little Mouse.”

An instant later Green throws Aoba out of the way, not even bothering to throw him out of the cell. Red moves in on him as Green slams Kuro down hard on his back, splitting the wounds open once more. However before anything else can happen a voice cracks out from the cell doorway like thunder. “What in the hell do you think you're doing!” At the word usage Kuro manages to tilt his head up, the air knocked thoroughly out of his lungs when he was slammed to the ground, and give the angel in the doorway a half-assed smile.

The guard on top of him is ready to snap back but Red speaks up first. “Fenrir sir, this demon has been getting closer and closer to the little guy, and he's even kissed him!”

“That's right!” Green adds with a growl. “This filth has been corrupting him. Playing all nice and sweet so he can get what he wants ou-” The green headed male is cut off by an actual peal of thunder from the angel at the gate this time.

“I don't give a damn if the demon was having his way with Aoba on the spot, you will not lay a hand on one of my staff like that ever again. It is not your job to teach this beast his place, and tearing down all of Aoba's hard work because of a little devious affection is unacceptable!” As he talks to two guard retreat to the back wall, Fenrir seeming to grow larger and darker as he rages on. “You two are taken off this assignment and are to report to me tomorrow for your punishment for your cations here today.” They both swallow hard an nod.

Stepping into the cell Kuro lets out a small almost sarcastic “Ow.” as Fenrir all but kicks him onto his side so he can see the demon's back. He eyes the now ruined bandages and huffs.

“A waste of resources. . .” He murmurs. His eyes then snap over to Aoba. “Fix him up. And from now on if any guard is giving you trouble or making your job harder, I'm giving you authority to send them away. They will stay in ear shot, but it should be good enough to let you work more efficiently.” He glares down at the demon. 'If he really is kissing Aoba, there's no way he'd hurt the kid. Demons are notorious for their attachments to things, and he won't harm Aoba as long as he's useful' Looking back to Aoba he adds. “I want you back here this evening too, these wounds will need more treatment. I'll talk to the overseers about canceling the afternoon session. He's obviously lost too much blood. Before the next healing I suggest you spend some time recovering yourself, you look pale.”

With that he turns and walks out of the cell, motioning for the guards to get lost. They do silently, Red glaring at his partner, even though they both are guilty. Fenrir's eyes turn back to the cell, deciding to watch the next part to see if he judged the situation correctly. Kuro on the other hand rolls back on to his back so he can look over at Aoba. “Are you okay Little Mouse. That green haired dick threw you pretty hard. . .”

Accessories: Single earring, silver, right ear, dangle kind, with a polished red stone at the end he found in the woods as a child and liked. Stone is a simple round shape.

Powers/Skills(If Applicable): Has a very strong setting in the wind element. Can use a wide variety of base element skills like creating strong winds and redirecting the natural flow of breezes. Also has begun training in battle elements such at taking the air out of a space and wind blades. When wearing his rig he can fly no problem, but without it he can only really hover and the like.

General Personality: Very free loving, being overly affectionate with everyone he's close to. However he is only close to a few people because of his harsh honesty. He never seconds guesses anything he says, and never feels ashamed of that. He's confused why others don't like it when he's so honest, but it doesn't bother him enough to change. He's very protective of things, but once he loses something, he gets over the loss quickly, choosing to focus on what he still has.

Background: Jin was born with strong elemental talents, the doctors themselves having to be careful when handling him least they get blown over. From a young age he's had a hard time controlling his element, but he's never given up on doing it. When his emotions run high he still slips up from time to time, but over all he's learned not to lose his cool. The large village he grew up in was always full of kids, but because of his lack of control he didn't make any real friends until he was older.

The mark of his element, which had begin as a smile squiggle and dot beside his right eye, has grown with his power and now runs down his neck, across his shoulder, and down his arm. It's still a very simple design, but it intimidates a lot of those with weaker elemental ties. For a long time He was sad about this, but now at his age, having moved out on his own three years ago, he's content with the loneliness. His few friends come to visit when they can, but for the most part he's alone. His house is built beneath a large tree, the roots creating his front entryway in front of his door.

Many other building around town are built in or with natural formations, making the whole town look like a mesh of hills, rocks, and trees, with a decent sized river running through the middle. Jin picked a house high above the village, near the great forest. He spends his days mostly riding the winds afforded him by his high vantage point above the city, or practicing his flying in the trees of the forest itself. Flying is his favorite activity, and under the shadows of the trees, despite the fact that he's outside, he doesn't tan.

Of Steam and Souls

Tatsuki quickly finishes his work on the preparation table, keeping half an eye on his host. He can feel the rising tension. 'What did those dishes do to him? Maybe I said something funny. I mean, I was being honest, and I was just asking him to be honest with me' He lets out a sigh and tosses the mess in his hand into the garbage. Stacking the last of the dishes near the sink he sets to wiping down the stove, making quick work of it. 'He's embarrassed about something. Perhaps I've been away from this country for too long and messed up the customs a bit. I seem to remember something about physical contacts. . .'

Unable to figure it out Tatsuki finishes clean and lets out a long sigh. 'Humans are too complected sometimes' Tossing his rag next to the dishes he carefully reaches past Shigetoshi so he can rinse off his hands before drying them on a towel hanging by the sink. With a light pat to the innkeepers back the shinigami bids him goodnight before heading out of the kitchen. On his way to his room he does a quick check to see if any of the girls are lurking about and when he sees they are all huddled up in one of the girls' rooms he moves faster.

'I gotta get it all locked up before they got to whatever they are planning. I doubt any of them are lock pickers' Once in his room he is careful to lock the door, closing the window tight as well. As he prepares for bed, the shinigami tries desperately to figure out what he did wrong earlier, but without any new leads he doesn't have much to go on. Once he's ready for bed he curls up beneath his light covers and tries to let sleep take him. However it isn't too long before the girls show up and Tatsuki has to spend about an hour trying to ignore their repeated attempts to get into his room. He uses a little magic to make sure they stay out, but even then, by the time they give up, he's too stressed to sleep.

“Ugh, I'll never get to sleep like this. . .Maybe a dip in the spring. But if they see me. . .” He thinks about it for a second. “Shigetoshi-kun must have a private one, and he wouldn't be using it at this time of night, right?” Casting out his senses he confirms that the innkeeper isn't in his private spring. “Yush.” he mutters with a grin as he pulls himself to his feet. Carefully he opens a rift, leaving behind his clothes as he sleeps in the nude anyways, and moves into the world between. It takes only a few steps to get where he's going and as he steps out into the steamy cool air he shivers. Slipping into the water quickly he lets out a sigh as the water once more begins melting away his stress. He settles with his back to the inn, not knowing that the door several paces behind him leads to Shigetoshi's room.

I may not be able to be as fancy however, Tahaan being as he is, you know :P

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

Enasi's arms had curled back into an awkward hug and as Seishu settle into the soft feeling of it a smile plays on his lips, hidden from the other. 'You really are the only one Enasi. Our lives suck so much. . . .' At his first little comment on Seishu's intelligence Seishu gives Enasi's neck a playful nip in response. His smile turns to one more his style as it occurs to him just how flexible his counterpart is. 'I guess, working with his body more than I do, he would be more limber' He lets out a sigh, rolling his eyes, but he does not object when Enasi pulls him to his feet. The pain lessens as he lets his energy flow through him. Still held in tight so it doesn't touch Enasi, he manages to let it touch all of his sore muscles none the less.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The siblings talk for a while, compiling all they had figured out, and mulling over what they think they can learn from it. Finally Starla looks at her brother. “Finn, I know you're curious about him. It's been a while since Doctor Crios said you should wait, so why don't we just go check. I mean, I really want to find out what it is too, but maybe. . . .Maybe we can't really do it out here. Remember, he lies without lying. Maybe we're suppose to just keep coming back until he says we can stay. Since we don't need the answer now, just the idea, I think the best way to figure out our progress is to check with him.”

Finn thinks, not sure if he agrees with his sister, however his curiosity soon gets the best of him. “Yeah, let's go see him. Maybe Lord Enasi will still be there and we can watch them for a while.”

Starla nods. “Let's go show that. .that Night what the Plant Siblings can do!” She reaches out, a leafy vine wrapping around her hand. Finn nods, bringing his own hand up, covered in thorny tendrils. The two touch palms, the plants winding together for a few seconds before they pulls back and climb to their feet. With a giggle Starla dart in front of her brother and they race through the halls to Seishu's room.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Seishu settles carefully into the bed, knowing Crios is going to be able to tell he did something risky again and wincing at the idea. 'If he wasn't my doctor, he'd kill me himself' He rolls his eyes at Enasi's apology, and feeling very childish at the moment, reaches out and snags the other guardian around the middle. With a little leverage an maneuvering he manages to get Enasi so he's settles on the pillows next to him. One arm is around behind Enasi, his hand clamped gently around the other's hip while they both lay half reclined on the growing mound of pillows Rue insists on bringing in each day. Before he can object Seishu grabs the corner of his sheets and proceeds to clear the rest of Enasi's tears away before dealing with his own.

Just as he gets settled however the door crashes open and the siblings tumble into the room. He holds tight to Enasi to keep him from leaving the bed and just watches with a look of detachment at the wrestling match on his floor. 'It's difficult to make out, but I think they are arguing on who got here first' he muses before they finally climb to their feet in a huff. The two spare Enasi a glance, looks of confusion and bewilderment mirrored on their faces, but they both shake it off. Almost as if they are reading each other's minds they think, 'Our lord's relationship with Night is complicated. Best not think of it for now'

Then their focus shifts to Seishu. Starla steps forward first, he hand reaching back for her brother. He looks confused for a moment, then slides up next to her, intertwining his fingers with hers. His gaze shifts to Seishu as well and he tilts his head curiously. Stella on the other hand sticks out her tongue. “We don't have your answer yet, so we can come together all we want.” Seishu resists the naughty urges at her word usage, letting her continue. “Finn has his ideas, and I have mine, but we are siblings and we're gonna keep being that even after you're long gone. So I'm not going to hold anything back from my brother no mater what you say.” She can feel Finn tense, but he doesn't interrupt her, his eyes still train on the Nightmare Guardian. “It's not that I don't have any respect for you, I just am not going to believe that you're as mean as you pretend to be. If you were, no one would like you, especially not the way they do.”

Finn finally speaks up. “Lord Enasi may have presented us with this opportunity, but we are now here because we want to be. You have done something to our fellow denizens that have made them better. You have shown them a part of this world that they never new existed, and because of your presence they will never be the same. I don't know if that will happen for us too, but I want to see if it will. We will never give up.” As he falls silent he knows how campy it all sounds, but for him it is the truth, and putting it any other way would not feel right.

Seishu stares at them the whole while they are speaking, looking one to the other, then down to their hands intertwined before shifting back up to their eyes. Tilting his head so it lays on Enasi' shoulder he watches as they both adopt odd little smirks at the motion and with a light chuckle he concedes. “That's more like it, Tweedle n' Dee.” They look at one another, tying to figure out which is which real quick before Seishu calls their attention again. “As your first duty, can you get Crios I think I tore some stitches.” The both blink at him before their gazes fall to his midsection. Sure enough, a light blossom of blood can be seen spreading beneath the surface. Knowing Starla's faster Finn lets his sister go while he moves in closer to see it there's anything he can do.

Looks good. I'll make my human at some point tonight.

This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya

I see this thing in my head where the light is sitting in the nothing, then the dark, is something we weave in around it, binding them together. Like you say. No one without the other, Dark is just now missing definition and true form.

Who Will Break? ~ PopeAlessandros x Raafling

~A light gasp escapes his lips. The sight of the wounds spreading from beneath his fingers stabbing strait to his heart. The sun begins to fade as the boy speaks, a dark cloud passing across it's face. His hand draws back but a few seconds later the wounds vanish once more.

“I wish. . .”

His voice echoes lightly, a shiver running across his back. The wind has changed. The once warm flow becomes a cool trickle of air across the hill.

“I wish. . .”

He can not find the words. Reaching up he gently pulls the hat from Zach's head, the strengthening breeze catching it and tossing it out over the rooftops. He moves in slowly before wrapping his arms around the smaller male. A hand come up to wrap around the back of Zach's head as he holds the boy close. All around then, storm is breaking.

“Sometimes, I wish, I could just make them all go away. All the ones who cause pain to others. It's so hard to forgive them every time. Sometimes. . .The pain feels almost too much.”

His hold tightens as a bolt of lightning strikes out over head. The ground beneath them shifts. The once soft grass is now cold stone. The world around them like a cheap apocalypse movie set, but somehow, far more realistic looking. The fires burn even under the torrential rains. And Still, he clings to the young man, trying to shield him.~
