Seishu nods, shuffling along slowly, however the pauses makes him smile wide. 'That was quick. I suppose, when two hearts are as one, there is little need to waste time' He fliches at his own thoughts but a moment later he turns with Enasi to watch the dream and minion land. When Seishu offers up one of his warmest smiles to the two as Rasha spills his fanboyness all over the group, Kaila's confusion dissolves and he closes his fingers around the hand inside his own.
'Master Seishu sent him because of our mutual love and respect for him. He is happy to see us together like this' He eyes the happy dream now bouncing on the balls of his feet in bliss. 'I normally hate such excited energy, but this. . .Feels right' Kaila looks around at the rest of those gathered about his lord, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the black haired one who proceeds to hide away from the look. 'What the heck is that!?' His attention however shifts to the guardian of the dream realm as he is addressed by said being. With a sharp nod he slips his fingers from Rasha's grasp and moves towards Seishu. His eyes dart about, still trying to assess the other minions, but as soon as he's in arm's reach of Seishu all of his focus goes to his lord.
As Enasi moves off Seishu gives him a nod, scooting Inui around and motioning that he should go stand with Rasha for now. Knowing better than to question this Inui darts over to the trickster, taking up a place behind him so he can still hide from the Nightmare Minion. 'I know I'm going to be one some day, but it still feel so weird to be so close. And ho looks so much like Mister Seishu. . .I wonder what Rue would think about this. I have to tell him as soon as we get back' With a nod to himself he watches the exchange between the two dream denizens closely, Rasha patting him on the head absentmindedly as he too eyes the near twins with a critical eye.
Once everyone is away Seishu looks to Kaila, a soft look in his eyes. Reaching out he gently places a hand atop the minion's head and Kaila's eyes close with a soft sigh. They stand silently for several seconds before Kaila drops to a knee, his head bowed. “Master, please forgive me. I did not notice what was happening right under my nose. You have an entire realm to run, it is my duty to track such things. I. . . I should have been able to see what was happening, or at the least, stopped him from attacking you during the clash. . .'[/i] His voice is choked with tears but when Seishu calls for him to rise his cheeks are dry, the brightness in his eyes fading as he looks into the eyes of his lord.
“Your devotion is much appreciated Kaila, but do not blame yourself for this. You can not control what is in the heart of others.” Kaila nods in reply to the kind words and with a soft sigh he steps in closer to Seishu as the guardian opens his arms to the minion. Kaila brings his hands up, resting them on Seishu's chest as Seishu wraps his arms around the younger male. They are almost equal in height and as Kaila's head falls to his shoulder the Nightmare Guardian closes his eyes at the familiar smell of Kaila's hair.
Crios watches curiously, resting almost calmly against a telephone pole as a low level of dark energy begins gathering around the two. However all the minion and Rasha jump slightly when the energy erupts into powerful black flames. Seishu keeps the energy form straying too far from their bodies, so none of those gathered are in danger, but the sibling still grasp one another's hands as the pillar of flame grows taller and taller. The black becomes tinged with purple as Kaila tries to add more energy to the exchange however moments later the flame and energy vanishes all together when Seishu reaches up, placing a hand on the back of the over eager minion's head. “Now now, none of that. That's your life energy, you need that.” He murmurs loud enough for the others to hear, but still gentle to the ear.
Kaila nods slowly and steps back. Seishu looks much more steady on his feet, his exterior wounds healed for good, but the internal damage still in place. The pain still keep him not quite sure of his step so with a little finger wiggle he motions that he needs Enasi's shoulder still. Kaila can clearly see the differences in his lord, and having shared with him, can feel the shift in his energy. However he knows his place and does not question. Instead he looks back to Rasha, his focus in the minion hiding behind him. “Master, what is that, may I ask?” Inui squeaks and shifts further behind Rasha, the later of which only chuckles as the little minion peeks over his shoulder at Kaila.
Seishu waves his hand a bit, then beckons Inui to come back over. The black haired male complies without hesitation, being back beside Seishu making him a lot less nervous around his soon to be mentor. Slipping an arm around his shoulders Seishu smiles at Kaila. “This is Inui. He's a child of one of the oldest clans in the nightmare realm, and after this mess is sorted out, your newest recruit. Well, sort of. I won't make you put him on you team, but he will need a big brother until he learns the ropes.” Kaila nods, the shock of what he was just told not showing on his face.
Instead he looks down at Inui with a slightly nicer look in his eyes before turning to gesture to Rasha. “And this? I have never heard of a dream being. . .Like me.” He waves a hand as if he can not find a better way to put it.
Seishu chuckles. “That's Rasha, the biggest and most talented trickster from the dream realm, who finds my pranks not only amazing, but bordering legendary.” Kaila actually cracks a very small smile at this, jumping slightly when Rasha hugs him around the middle from behind.
“And this here is my new Lord Seishu lookalike doll!” Kaila puts up with the hug but after a few seconds he squirms out of the embrace and straitens his clothing. Not to be brushed off Rasha puts and arm up on Kaila's shoulder, using it to prop himself up and look at the rest of the group. Starla goes back to gagging and this time Finn face palms, but there is a wide grin on his lips. Kaila puts up with the closeness, looking to his lord questioningly.
Crios seems to snap out of his funk at last and walks over to Kaila to ask about what just happened. He's never seen healing like that, his style far more subtle and artful. Seishu rolls his eyes at this then looks over to Enasi. Shifting his weight a bit and chuckles. “This is really odd isn't it? I'm starting to think, even if we get things back to relative normality, there are going to be some major changes.” He motions to Rasha and Kaila, already comfortable in each other's presence. “I bet those two are going to start a fan club here on earth for me, meeting once a month or something like that. I know Rue would join, and Inui here, along with a few others from my realm. . .” He looks off down the street with a far away look in his eyes. “Maybe the separation doesn't have to be so complete any more. . .” He tires not to notice his hand as it grips Enasi's shoulder a little tighter, his body flexing and shifting in a bit closer to the other guardian at his words. He tries desperately to deny the flame of hope flickering that tiny bit brighter.

I think setting is always a good bet.
*Ish proud of you* This is getting, very entertaining :P
His eyes flicker up to the wings stretching, but he returns his gaze tot he floor, his arms crossing over his chest as he stands silently. “Any time Little Mouse. . .” As the nervous little angel curls up on the couch, casting a glance his way every so often, Kuro decides to just start talking. It couldn't hurt, right? “I don't lack medical skills, in fact as far as mortals are concerned, I'm the best doctor that ever was. I just used what I know about mortal medicine and integrate the knowledge into my energy. In heaven I could not heal because I had no energy. There was nothing for me to feed on up there.” He glances out the window at the feeling of a few demons nearby. “Speaking of feeding. . .” He shakes his head. “Nevermind.”
With a light sigh he moves right along to some useful information. “I've marked off the area, but you are such rare game that demons are going to be after you near constantly for a while. Lower level ones, the ones that would be content to just tear you to shreds, won't cross my lines unless you're right at the edge. The stronger ones, the ones who will cross my lines, won't hurt you for a while. They have a little more honor and know that if I manage to get you back, that their worthless hides will don these walls if I get you back injured. They would hold you until they're sure I'm too weak to get you back.”
Letting out a small huff he doesn't notice his claws and fangs growing as he thinks about any of them laying a hand on his prize. “I'll show you where it's safe Little Mouse, and we can expand the area if you like. I'm not sure how much of this land is yours, and I think a nice buffer zone will keep you more safe.” His gaze falls on to Aoba for several seconds before he adds, “Once I've established myself enough, I can give you something that will allow you to do stuff like go to town without me, but for now. . . .I am the weakest son. I need to win the right to keep you to myself.”
His eyes shift back outside, watching some grass move in a way that give away the demons crawling around in it. 'Bastards' His claws retract, fangs too, and he gives Aoba a sad look. “I know this is very different, and very terrible for you, but I will do my best to not make you some kind of caged animal. You just worry about the farm and caring for it. Other than staying inside the lines, don't give the demons another thought.” He tries to look supportive, but after a second his head whips around to the window again. With a growl his body shifts to battle mode and he darts outside to deal with the almost intruders.

Tatsuki watches as his tensions rises, but keeps his smile warm and inviting. He chuckles lightly. “I have my ways of getting around Shigetoshi-kun. Don't worry, I did not trespass into your private quarters. The spring and your room are two completely different matters, and I know both are off limits, but I pray you will not hold this little intrusion against me. . .” His lets his eyes fall, the moon on the water catching his attention as his breathing causes the image to waver ever so slightly. Ducking even further into the water he pushes back slightly, letting the water take him as he rolls on to his stomach and he does a few light breast strokes around the pool.
Stopping at the far edge he once more turns to look as the young innkeeper, this time motioning with his hand. “Come Shigetoshi-kun. I really think the hot water would do you some good. You've been tense all evening. Ever since, we talked at dinner. . .” His eye fall once more to the water as he wonders just what the young man thinks he does for a living. Wondering further if this will be the end of his vacation. 'If he really is upset because of me, I could leave tonight and just come back when my assignment is due. I've no real reason to stay, save for my own piece of mind. . . Sitting down on a rock on the far end from Shigetoshi he crosses his legs and plays gently with the water while he waits. His lower half is still beneath the water, but the knee of his top leg makes a neat little peak in the still water.

The Nightmare Guardian can not help but chuckle at Rasha's pouting, but his focus shifts as once again he feels Enasi's warm body against his side. 'This is so comfortable, but so wrong. I think I know what The Powers That Be encouraged us to dislike one another. I think this closeness is going to mess things up, but y'know, when he's right here with me, I really couldn't give two craps' He takes a breath as they step into the portal, his eyes snapping shut to keep from getting to dizzy. On the other side he reaches up with his free hand to steady himself after the whooshing, but something catches his attention to sober him up right quick.
He ignores Enasi's question and instead calls Rasha to his side. The dream bounds up happily, and Seishu knows he's made the right choice. Dropping one hand he pats Rasha on the head before pointing over his shoulder. “Over that way, you should be able to feel it, is a nightmare minion. I wont you to go over there and greet him for me, okay?” Rasha feels a slight drop in his stomach at the thought of meeting a nightmare minion face to face, but his courage returns as he realizes that Seishu would not send him if it would put him in danger. Without a word he transforms and takes off, Crios stepping forward to try and stop him, but Rasha ducks right past the fox man.
“What in the world Night?! Even if the minion is on your side, I can not condone this! Lord Enasi!” He looks to Enasi with a pleading look on his face, praying that his lord will see reason.
Leaning in close before Enasi can yell at him Seishu whispers one simple word into his ear softly. “Kaila.” He Leans back with a smile. “Lead on Flufflord!” He says jovially so that everyone can hear. However Finn and Starla are both waiting to see how Enasi will respond, while Inui just looks around curiously, slipping closer to the two guardians as he senses his first nightmare minion.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Kaila's heart jumps as he feels a shift. 'Several dream denizens, and one focus of negative energy. . That has to be. . .' He jumps up excitedly but stops as soon as his feet touch the ground. 'So many of them, they must be there to protect Master Seishu. They won't let me get close. . .' Kaila worries his lip with his little fangs, trying to figure out just what to do, how in the world he's suppose to convince them he's not here to attack his lord, but he's soon distracted by the feeling of a small ball of positive energy moving his way. He looks up towards the nearest roof, the energy approaching from above his head, and keeps himself still as to not startle whatever is coming.
When at last Rasha skids to a halt at the edge of the roof he takes a moment to breath before peeking over. What he sees down below makes his heart stop. Kaila looks up at the small white ball of fluff, trying to figure out just what it is. He takes a step back, tensing as Rasha transforms. When the smoke clears and he's now looking up at a humanoid with a long fluffy white tail Kaila relaxes again. 'He's looking at me strangely. Almost like, he's amazed or something. I feel like an animal in a z-'
“My Lord Seishu is the most amazing being I have ever met. . .” Rasha's word strike right into Kaila's heart and for a moment the two of them share a type of bonding that has never been seen since time began. Without a word Kaila jumps up, landing right next to Rasha as he gets to his feet. Rasha looks deep into Kaila's eyes and seeing the same kind of admiration he himself holds for the Nightmare Guardian he smiles wide. Kaila too smiles, a much more controlled, but no less warm, thing that cements the bond between them. Offering his hand to the dream the two of them lower their energies, clasping hands in the arm wrestling manner, before pulling each other into a bro hug.
With formalities out of the way Rasha pulls back and takes off over the rooftops. Kaila doesn't hesitate an takes off after him, that long white tail serving as a perfect lead to follow when he drops down to the streets and flies around a corner almost too fast for the minion to follow.

Harper peeks into the room to find Rue sniffling quietly. 'I understand why Lord Enasi didn't want to bring him with, but I really think he could have been a little nicer about it. I blame Night's influence on this' Harper knows he's being unfair, but shrugs it off. It's unfair to delight in the fact that Seishu has gotten nicer, but to at the same time be upset that Enasi has gotten more strict and gruff. Rue looks up, hearing Harper walking towards the bed.
Before he can say anything tot he distraught minion however Rue speaks up. “I'm alright Harper sir. Don't worry about me. I'll spend some time with my friends, and I'll feel better, I promise.” Harper opens his mouth to say something but with a flutter of wings Rue shoots out one of the tall windows and vanishes from view. Harper lets out a long sigh, praying that his realm will return to normal soon.

Kuro rolls his eyes as the little angel scoots away from him, curling his wings in an effort to hide the spot he touched. 'No chance Little Mouse. You asked me for help, so I'm going to help' Working gently, but firmly, Kuro moves in close to Aoba and carefully shifts his wings out of the way. He keeps one hand on Aoba's waist to hold him in place as he strokes the wings to settle them down a bit. Making light shushing noises he smiles lightly. “I think you missed the part when I said I'm different from my fellow demons.” His fingers once more slide down to the angel's back, but this time he makes sure not to touch it for now.
He can feel the bruise with his magic now, the ruptured blood vessels obvious now that he knows they are there. “I don't have friends, I don't have duties, and above all else, I do what I love to do.” He leans to the side just far enough to see the angel's face. “I'm here because I want to be, Little Mouse.” Leaning back he sets to work. “This will hurt too, but not as much as when I touched it, so stay still.” His hand tightens slightly on Aoba's waist as his other hand begins brushing the bruise away. In long sweeping motions he tries to heal him in as few passes as possible, knowing just how much the process hurts and not wanting Aoba to suffer longer than he has to.
“That crash really did a number on your skin. Be thankful your bones are more sturdy. . .” He murmurs softly. Once he's almost finished he begins thinking about the boy's question. 'Why do I still have it? I mean, it's pretty, but I've never been one to collect pretty things, like other demons. It was useful while I was in prison, but now it's just. . .' He lets out a sigh. “I took it at fist because I saw how bad you felt for me, and wondered how quickly you would be corrupted. It helped me track that, telling me when you were ready for my asking for your help to escape.” Finishing his last sweep his other hand comes down to settle on the other side of Aoba's waist, holding him in place.
“Don't get me wrong, I really do like you Little Mouse, but at the time, I was more concerned with escape. A demon looks after their own hide first and foremost. . .Or at least, that's what our instincts tell us to do. . .” Leaning his head down he rest his forehead against the back of Aoba's neck softly. “As I grew more fond of you, I really did worry about the corruption, but you know, death to a demon is far worse than you can imagine. I was willing to do it, should you not ever consent to helping me, but I had to try all avenues before hand.” He keeps his body still, his breath tickling over the sensitive place where Aoba's wings are attached. “Now? I don't know. I like it, it feels right. For some reason, I don't want to let it go. . ." Knowing the angel must be feeling very trapped by now Kuro lets him go and stands, moving backwards until he's resting against a wall. He crosses his arms and looks to the floor, waiting for Aoba to kick him out again after such a reveal about his true motives up in heaven.

Seishu too heard the concern in the Dream Guardian’s voice, but leaves it up to the Doc to explain. [u]'After all, it's their operation. The less I have to do with it, the less I have to feel like I betraying myself. . . .'[/i] He smiles slightly as he recalls Harper 'worrying' about him. Some part of Seishu is changing, and he doesn't know what it is. Somehow,everything seems to be getting foggy. He can't sense the way he use to. He also didn't use to care so much what others think about him, but as Rasha moves in closer to him Seishu dismisses the thought. 'I am here, and everything is going to be messed up until I get home. . . .Back to where I am the head honcho, and all alone. . . .'
“No, it won't hurt. I'll take care of you myself.” Inui looks happy for a moment, then a bit confused.
'Isn't that a contradiction to what he said before about not giving me special treatment? Well, maybe me converting isn't so much special treatment as it is something only he can do properly. . .' Inui's hand slides out to take hold of Seishu's and the light squeeze from the guardian makes him relax slightly. His mind is still filled with worried, not the least of which is how Lord Enasi feels at the moment. Inui is beginning to understand his soon to be ex-lord's moods, and he feels something is off.
However a few seconds later Finn wanders through the portal with a wave to his sister and all focus seems to shift to the swirling lights. All save Rasha's which isn't going to move off of Seishu until they are in the human realm. There he plans to be a proper protector and keep his senses primed for danger. Glancing over at Enasi, Seishu mutters, “Mind keeping this thing from pitching me on to my face flufflord?” He gestures to the portal just as Finn steps back through.
“There are a few, but non real close by. They seem to be going about their jobs as far as I can tell.” he reports with confidence, motioning that it's safe to go through now. Starla smiles and skips on through, followed closely by Crios who gives Seishu a exasperated look before motioning for the others to pass through first.

Viltez's head snaps around with a wide smile when Aryx agrees to take him hunting. He resists the urge to bounce up and down like a puppy waiting for it's mater to throw a stick. 'I'm both excited and nervous. Hunters go in daily, but I think if we go deep enough we should be okay, and no one will be around to see my tail, I just hope I don't get in the way. I wonder what he hunts with, I don't think there are many weapons that would fit into that satchel of his. . .' “Raw is good. I've got a lot to do today and the sooner I get to it, the sooner I'll get done.” he says with a smile as Aryx moves off to where he left his bag.
Taking the opportunity to change he's just making sure his tail is wrapped when his guest comes back. He smiles lightly, doing his best to not blush as he holds up his shirt chest high to make sure it doesn't get in the way, and so that he can see the appendage properly. Once it's in place he hooks his tail in and drops his shirt down. After making sure it's in place he gratefully accepts the fruit offered him with a smile and begins eating.
His tongue darts out to lick his fingers, trying not to make too much of a mess as he eats the sticky mass. “I don't know if you have anything planned today, but if not you are more than welcome to follow me in my chores.” He shakes his head slightly. “Or if that's too boring, the town has a couple shops with stuff like the things you keep in you hair that you may like. The town is kinda small, and there's not much to do, but . . .” He doesn't really know what else to say about it. The town is small, there isn't much to do in it, but if he likes drinking at least he'd have something to do. The tavern has games and company, but for some reason Viltez doesn't see his guest as a tavern goer.

However, after sitting for mere moments, Tatsuki feels the need to move. 'I feel as restless as I did back in training. But. . . .It's not a bad feeling' Sitting up a little he strikes out across the smallish spring, swimming around a few times before dipping under the water completely. The warmth wrapping around him on all sides is too much for his body, and without hesitation he stands up. The water rushes off his body as he throws his head back, trying to keep his now soaked hair from sticking to his face. An instant later though he pauses mid shake as he spots the young innkeeper.
'Oh dear, he must have come to bed. . .I really should be more quiet' The water settles low around his waist and he smiles gently up at the young man before shaking a but more water from his hair. Not waiting for Shigetoshi to ask him the inevitable, Tatsuki moves closer to where the innkeeper is standing and crosses his arms loosely across his lower chest. “Forgive me Shigetoshi-kun. I did not mean to intrude. I overhead the girls, and then they tried to visit me. . .Repeatedly. . .So I was a bit too wired to get to sleep. I would have gone to the other spring, but. . .”
He waves his hand in a 'You know how that could go' fashion before bringing it back up to settle on the other arm once more. His eyes scan over the young man's body, reading the tension laced through his system. With a warm inviting smile he crouches down and lets his arms float on the water's surface. His smile becomes a knowing one and he jerks his head back in a 'come on over' fashion. “You looks stressed too Shigetoshi-kun. Perhaps you should take a dip to relax as well.” Tatsuki knows he's should get out, him being in a place he knows he shouldn't be, but his curiosity gets the better of him and he waits for the young man to either accept his proposal, or tell him to get out.
