"Now where have I heard that before..? Telling me I hate you must be very popular nowadays. I can hardly breath without it happening."

Unico was resting back on the palms off his hand. He jumped up when Siobhan was heading for her room, however. He pointed to it as he cupped his elbow.

"Hold on a second, Siobhan. You can't go in there."

In a flash Unico was in front of her bedroom door, wearing an apron and grasping a mop and bucket. He held his hand out in protest.

"-I haven't cleaned it yet. No one is going to enter a disgusting room like this along as I live here."

He tied his hair back with the same ribbon he had been using, and smiled to Siobhan like he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I only asked, Siobhan. That doesn't mean that's what I thought."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan looked at him, and sighed.

"Let me through, Unico. I want my room left that way. I made the mess, I clean it."

She shifted Ashtyn's weight around some, and looked down at her sister's sleeping face.

"Besides, I want her to see what has happened to me, and what she must stay away from..."[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico put his ice-cold hand on the back of Siobhan's neck. He was enjoying this.

"She has nothing to be afraid of, Siobhan. You have nothing to be afraid of..."

He leaned over, pressing his forehead against hers. His tone was low and soft...

"-besides, if you leave, someone is going to miss you."

He smirked.

"-wager a guess as to whom?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan blushed, and looked at Unico. She shivered, because he was truly freezing, but also maybe of something else...?

"Y-You...?"[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho didn't follow Siobhan, Unico or Talison. He stood up and closed his door again, Kisho sat down in a corner of the room, 'Even though I told myself and them that Unico is a better choice...' "I'm such an idiot.." he whispered before chuckling. The beast inside of him stirred, but settled back down.

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico smiled.

"Siobhan looks frightened. I thought you felt the same way? Oh, that's right. I love you and I hate you go hand and hand here."

He ran his hand through her hair as he whispered.

"-but now is not the best time. Maybe we can talk later? I'm still concerned for Kisho. -do you know anything about that girl that just appeared all of a sudden?"

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino linotype"]Siobhan reshifted Ashtyn in her arms, then laid her fainted body down against the wall, standing back up to look Unico in the eyes.

"Maybe, if you weren't so indifferent with your words, I could understand you better."

She placed her hands on his shoulders and frowned. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
"I do love you, but you need to move out of the way."

Siobhan truly looked into his eyes, and furrowed her eyebrows--something else that was becoming a habit.
"I need to see my blood."[/font]

[Nami]

Kisho felt pain streak through his body as the beast rattled it's cage. 'YOU CAN'T LOCK ME AWAY FOREVER KISHO!' it snarled. Kisho clutched his head, "Shut up." he muttered, "don't talk to me, just leave me alone! I won't be used for your blood-lust." 'You will never be rid of me Kisho...that is something you can count on..'

OOC: OOOOH! Creepy! Yesh, Kisho's Anichi talks to him (hope that's okay 0_o)

[Song_of_Storms]

OOC: If its normal, no. If its fine with me, yes XD

Unico sighed, reluctant to move. He shook his head disipointedly and made way for her.

"I don't see why. Inspecting your room isn't going to help anything. Fine, fine... I'm going." He started heading down the hall. As he walked, he leaned against the wall just long enough to rub his tired feet. He moaned to himself.

Gah, I haven't had a moment to sit all day. My feet are killing me... since I'm here I may as well talk to Kisho. There's some stuff I want to ask him.

Unico walked silently until he came to Kisho's door. He was about to knock when he heard Kisho's conversation. Unico stared at the door with an amused grin. He snorted.

"-Kisho, are you...talking.. to yourself?"

[Nami]

OOC: I meant if it was alright with you XD and it not being normal is fine XD

IC: Kisho's head shot up and he sighed, "Yeah.. I am." he said, "What did you want Unico?" Kisho ran a hand through his hair and waited for Unico to come in. 'Why don't you just tell him? It'll make it easier' the beast whispered with a cackle. Kisho ground his teeth and hissed under his breath; "Shut up."

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico had just opened the door when he snapped at Kisho.

"I have not said anything! If you're in a foul mood, I can come back later.." He, however, continued towards Kisho. Unico was inspecting the layout and things about the room, since he never came in here very often. He shrugged.

-He keeps it in an all right manner... not how I would, but still.

He sighed, taking Kisho's arm. He was looking for his wound from earlier, but couldn't remember where it was... as he searched, he occasionally looked over at him.

"So, Kisho... What do you think about Siobhan's business? We're going to intervene, of course."

Unico let go of his arm. He couldn't find the scar, and really wasn't in the mood to see it anyway. He started picking up dirty clothes from the floor as he talked. ..so this is why we can never be rid of the laundry.. -_-

"Kisho, what do you know about this Affinity girl? She strikes me as odd, but then everyone does. Did she say anything to you when she was helping you? ...I suppose its just paranoia on my part."

By now Unico had an armload of dirty clothes (and even some clean ones he didn't approve of) he was carrying. He shifted the load around, so he could barely see Kisho from it.

"..You really can be annoying, you know that? Why don't you say something? It’s not like I enjoy hearing myself talk...even if I do.. I thought you loved Siobhan! Yet you do nothing."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan kept her darkened gaze towards the floor as Unico walked away.
She carefully opened the door, and slid herself into the room, the metallic smell of blood permeating it.
Laying Ashtyn on the daybed, Siobhan gathered up the comforter and stuffed it in the dirty washbasket.
She slowly walked over to her stationery desk, and picking up a green pen, wrote a note.

[color="SeaGreen"]'Commiato.

I am leaving to return to Mr. Burnois.
It is likely that we will never see each other again, I am sorry.
This will be painful, I know, but both of you will find someone much better for yourselves.
This is for all of us.
And again, Commiato.[/color]
[color="Red"]
~Siobhan Noel Feirna-Burnois'[/color]

She signed her name in bright red ink, then folded it up, and placed it into a deep blue envelope, with the words Dear Unico and Kisho written on it.

She nodded, turned to bid Ashtyn a final farewell by placing a kiss on her forehead, and jumped out of the window, landing on her hands and feet with a soft thud, the night air blowing the curtains gently as her form was seen running towards the city beyond the forest...

OOC: Oh, I hope that's okay.
SUSPENSE!! >8D
Commiato=Farewell[/font]

[Wind]

Talison watched as Siobhan left and said " Mama! where are you going?" But there was no answer. She crawled up into the bed with ashtyn and said " I am all alone now... Mama left me..."Ashtyn woke up and Screamed " Please don't leave me alone...Nooo..."

[christianfriend]

OOC: Is it still the same day?? Or is it the next?

[Song_of_Storms]

((OOC: Its the same day, just at night. ^^ ..I think ))

[Nami]

Kisho looked up at Unico as he spoke and finally sighed, "well if you shut your wind bag of a mouth perhaps I could speak." he ran a hand through his hair and narrowed his eyes at Unico's doing, "About that girl, I don't know anything, she did help me it seems so I have no reason not to like her.." Kisho sighed, "And no she didn't say anything..."

Kisho snarled when Uncio questioned his loyalty to Siobhan and jumped to his feet throwing Unico against a wall, his eye flashed with a dangerous glare and then just as quickly Kisho backed off clutching his head.

"Stop it!" he snarled. "Don't hurt Him!"

[Wind]

Ashtyn got up out of the bed where her sister had laid her and said " Hello... is there anyone there..." She found Unico and Kisho and said " Where is Sio?"
talison ran up to Kisho and said " Uncle Ki, Uncle Uni where's mama...?"

[Nami]

Kisho looked down at the little girl, startled, how the heck had she found his room? He shook his head, "I..I don't know Tali... isn't she in her room?" he reached out to touch her head, but clenched his hand into a fist and pulled it away from her.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan grunted as another branch tore at her face, adding another gash to the inventory of gashes on her body from the forest.

Siobhan had climbed up a tree, and ran across them, thanking whoever would listen that they were close enough together.
Her jeans had torn and left her knees bloodied, the sleeves of her shirt had now been ripped off on another branch.

She could finally see the cities lights, gasping from lack of air.
The large orphanage/mansion was on the outskirts.
She jumped from the tree, landing awkwardly on the ground, and limped to the building.

She could see a man's silhouette on the porch, and he walked out to meet her.

"My dear Siobhan, how I've missed you!"
He hugged her, and her face showed no emotion.
The last thing she remembered was being carried into the open doorway of the establishment, being talked to, and being placed onto a large, soft bed...[/font]

[Wind]

Kisho looked down at the little girl, startled, how the heck had she found his room? He shook his head, "I..I don't know Tali... isn't she in her room?" he reached out to touch her head, but clenched his hand into a fist and pulled it away from her.

" Mama went out the dark evil room's window with all the dark red marks everywhere... I don't think she's ok Uncle Kisho..." Ashtyn walked into Kisho's room and said " Sio went to meet Mr. Burnois I can't let this happen please help me find her..."

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Sadly, Siobhan slept for half an hour.

She saw no one in the very large, ornate bedroom that she was in.
All that she saw was the ceiling, but she noticed something VERY different.

Jumping up from her prostrate form on the bed, she ran over to the full mirror.
"Oh, my, Lord..."

Someone had cut her hair from it's normal length of to her thigh to it's current length of to her shoulders.
AND, not to be isolated, someone had changed her clothes without her permission.
She was about to turn around when she heard an oh-so-familiar voice.

"My dear Siobhan...how I have missed you."
Arms wrapped around her waist, and a handsome face placed itself on her shoulder.
"Ah, you don't seem to remember me? I feel so hurt, Sio-chan..."

He placed a hand on her hair, ruffling it.
"It's me, Marion....~!"

He gestured to her hand, more specifically, the small golden band on her finger.
"And now, you're my bride-to-be..."

OOC: MORE SUSPENSE!!
Her new outfit and haircut....
[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

Kisho looked up at Unico as he spoke and finally sighed, "well if you shut your wind bag of a mouth perhaps I could speak." he ran a hand through his hair and narrowed his eyes at Unico's doing, "About that girl, I don't know anything, she did help me it seems so I have no reason not to like her.." Kisho sighed, "And no she didn't say anything..."

Kisho snarled when Uncio questioned his loyalty to Siobhan and jumped to his feet throwing Unico against a wall, his eye flashed with a dangerous glare and then just as quickly Kisho backed off clutching his head.

"Stop it!" he snarled. "Don't hurt Him!"

Unico was about to reply to Kisho's outburst with actions, but Talison came in then. He listened to what she said, his eyes flashing. He ran to Siobhan's room, straight to the open window. He leaned out so far it looked like he was about to jump. He snapped back inside, his fist clenched and shouted.

"-What is she doing?! I told her we would deal with this!" Unico put his head in his hands, digging his nails in. He hissed.

"Siobhan! How can you be so selfish?!"

Unico ran out of the room, towards the stairs. He didn't care. He was going to find her. He didn't know what to say to that old codger that was infatuated with her, but he had an idea of what he would do. Maybe she really did want to go back... she was so angry when he suggested that, though. Unico was insanely crazed right now, all he could think about was Siobhan. She left on her own will, so maybe she was sick of this.

By now Unico was out the door in the lawn. He stopped, panting. Where does he go? He rubbed his hand against his cheek as he closed his eyes and fumed.

((OOC: Unico still thinks Mr.Whatever is an old man.. ))

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Siobhan's eyes widened in pure horror, her voice trembling in true terror.
"M-Mister Burnois...?"

She closed her eyes as he laughed in her ear.
"The one and only...mon cherie!"
He turned her around and placed his hands on her face.
"You are as beautiful as I remember you..."

She clamped her eyes shut. She had no clue what to do now, tears slowly falling from her eyes as she remembered that this was for the good of her orphanage. This was for Tali's, Ki's, Uni's, Ash's, and everybody else's sake.
She knew that this might happen, but she had no clue he would be this forceful.
In her secret heart of hearts, she hoped that the smell of her blood, and her torn clothes left on the trees would lead someone to help her.

...
If only this once.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

((OOC: LOL, thanks for ze tip, Sio! she hoped that the smell of her blood, and her torn clothes left on the trees would lead someone to help her.))

Unico dashed back inside. He ran over to a small writing desk that was kept near the backdoor. It worked more as a dumping ground for things the others didn't feel like putting in their proper places, so it was a constant battle for Unico.

He pulled the top drawer out and shook it upside down, spilling the contents out on the floor. He fell to his knees, rooting through the mess. Finally, he picked up a small pocket knife he had remembered seeing there earlier. He looked it over for a moment before he shoved it deep into his back pocket. He jumped up and darted out the door.

I need to think.. she was trying to get away without us knowing, so which way would she take?

He sniffed the air, searching. Walking slowly, he'd move a little, smell, then move on. He stopped dead in his tracks. Coming from those trees was Siobhan's scent. He smirked, pleased with himself. He started following it, taking his time in order not to lose it. He snarled.

"It leads to the city. Blast it.." He cursed suddenly when his barefoot stepped on a thorn.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Marion smiled, and wrapped his hands back around Siobhan's waist, MUCH to her displeasure.

"Mon cherie, why are you so scared of me? I won't bite....much."
He grinned, sending chills down her spine.

Siobhan slid slowly out of his grasp, the uneasiness in plain sight on her face.
When she did that, Marion grabbed her wrist harshly.

"Get back here. You won't leave me again!!"
He threw her against the chez lounge in the corner, and stood next to her.

"I will never let you go, my love."
Siobhan cried out in fear, and ran to the door.
The door, of course, being locked duly.

((OOC: Well, she's a smart one, I guess.))[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

It had taken Unico a good amount of time to get to the mansion. The first reason, because he's terrified of cities and bolted at every new sound. The second, (and most important) because he stepped on a broken bottle and had to sacrifice the lower part of his shirt for a band aid. He was sweating from fright, his head was dizzy, unaccustom to so many lights, and he was gaping at a large mansion, unsure of his next move.

Siobhan seems scared of this place... getting here was an ordeal enough for me. Fine. I'll proceed with the utmost precaution. Unico glanced around, searching for a concealed place to lay low.

-I need to transform. He dodged behind some garbage cans. After a pause to catch his breathe, he closed his eyes and concentrated. There was a BAMF!! and a silver snake laid on the grass. Unico stuck his now split tongue out, tasting the air. He slithered out, towards the steps.

Bloody awkward. I wonder how the others transform..? That's something I don't think I've ever asked.

He gazed up at the luminance steps. ...brilliant, I should have been on the porch before I changed. This is going to be pleasant.. There was a sarcastic tone in his voice as he slithered up the banister onto the porch. He squirmed his way through a small gap in the door and sighed. He was now inside.

((OOC: Yep, using his Anichi form for the first time. I'm not sure if I mentioned that its up to you how they transform. Ya know, whether in a poof of smoke, gradually or blah blah. n.n;;; ))

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]Marion crossed his arms over his chest, smirking evilly.
"Come back here, love. I don't want you to get hurt..."

He grabbed Siobhan's wrists again, and she winced at his hands brushing against her scarring.

Grinning, he pulled Siobhan into a kiss, but not for long, as she lashed out and scratched his face.
She pushed herself away and spat onto the ground.
"Disgusting..."

Marion growled angrily, and pulled a taser out of his pocket, placing a hand against the lines of blood freshly appearing on his cheek.
"Now, you won't want to do that again. If you do, I'll have to hurt you, and I really do not want to."

Siobhan sneered at him, and crouched into a pouncing stance.
"Try me!"

Marion shrugged and smiled happily.
"Your funeral!"
He shot the taser at her, but the new high-heeled shoes that was placed on her feet made her trip due to not being used to them, and the metal sensors of the taser struck, forcing a high-pitched sound that was a mix between a loud scream and a yowl.[/font]

[Song_of_Storms]

That was it, that noise. That's what Unico was waiting for. He curled himself up and closed his reptilian eyes. Another BAMF!! was heard, and Unico was standing at his full height.

He didn't care if anyone saw him, he was ready to take on the whole world if necessary. He sped towards the location of the sound. He could smell Siobhan, but just barely. When he reached the door, he grabbed the handle trying to open it. He screamed as he kicked the door with his cut foot, (then his healed one after the pain died down)

"SIOBHAN! Its Unico! Let me in!! *&^% it, let me in!!" He was slamming his slinky frame against the door, trying with all his might to budge it.

[Nami]

Kisho didn't have time to react before Unico dashed off, "That idiot!" he hissed, "Talison, stay here! Don't leave." he ordered and ran down the steps, he jumped down the last three and opened the closet to his left dragging out coats, he pulled out a piece of wood and pried a Katana from the hiding place

Tying it to his waist he ran out the front door and across the lawn, he had never felt himself run faster, he followed Sio and Unico's scent left behind. His cat like reflexes and sense of smell noticed every little thing. 'Darn that idiot! He is going to get himself killed'

Kisho felt anger build up inside of him, did Unico really want to save Sio? Or die himself? Kisho hissed and ground his teeth flying through the forest after their scent, jumping over fallen trees and pushing off of protruding rocks, he flung himself at one point and landed on his all fours, but it barely slowed him.

Finally, breathing steadily he looked up at the mansion, 'Where the heck is Unico?' he thought annoyed and crept to the side of the mansion, 'Gotta find Sio, I find her.. I find Unico.' Kisho examined the wall he was hiding by and noticed the vines, he smirked;'Convenient' his claws dug into the side of the mansion and his bare feet pressed against the vines, he began his climb up the side of the house.

Kisho reached a window, and pushed it open quietly, he slid in and kept in a crouch sneaking to the door of the bedroom, he opened it and looked out, the hall was empty. He nodded and dashed down the hall to another room, listening first and then hiding. 'Think Kisho.. you smell her close right? Follow it..' his heart-rate picked up, and he realized he wasn't afraid... but he found this all very thrilling.Kisho heard Unico's call and dove from the room and ran down the hall, he spotted Unico and ran up next to him, "You can't do that by yourself!" he snarled and ran back, Kisho charged the door and slammed into it hard, making it splinter.

OOC: I made an edit!

[Song_of_Storms]

Unico panted, his ever so familiar tone of annoyance present.

"Oh, you finally show up. About bloody time. -can't you scratch it open or something?!"

He was trying to himself, but only ended up breaking his nails back. He grimaced.
