Riku stood from his stable where scrolls of all kinds laid before him. "Really now...the time came closer then I thought" Riku said before walking around the desk and out of the room he was in Neimi fallowing behind him asking what he ment "My dear, I maybe blind but I can clearly see how infused those two souls are" He said to her with a shake of his head "The day Thalion lost his temper and slaughtered all those men..." he began "Mizuki is feeling all that rage now...no doubt combind with some of his own" He said walking out of the building. He needed to get to them fast or some one was going to die.

Mizuki growled as the punch landed right in his gut making him hunch over from the force of it. Though that was short lived as he grabbed the hand in his stomach and squeezed. The force of his grip combined with the magic made for easy hand crushing. Mizuki smiled as he felt the hand grow smaller within his grasp.

Now with Thalions hand held within his he smiled standing straight "Whats wrong dear hero..." Mizuki asked before he wound up his free hand and punched Thalion in the face while he held him there "Cant defend yourself" He asked as he swung out again.

This was when Riku entered the room. Rikus step faultered as he felt the change of power in the room "Master Mizuki stop or I will stop you" Riku said lifting his staff "Do not make me bind out" Though his words were silenced as Mizuki pushed Thalion away by his broken hand before turning to Riku with a evil laugh and sick smile "Oh...you dare think you can" He said before he began on a rant in his own tongue.

Riku raised his staff and stepped back "Master...dont do it" He said but Mizuki smiled. Just then the crystals on his hand elongated and grew into a long clear blade "My blades a little colorless" He said taking a step forward "Shall we see if red looks good on it?" He asked tilting his head his neck cracking.

Riku sighed before standing straight "You leave me no choice then master" He said before raising his staff and starting the incantation. Mizuki laughed and took a step forward "Try all you want" He said taking another step forward "I will do more then try" Riku said before the end of his staff hit the ground. As soon as it met the ground Mizuki growled and fell to one knee.

This though was little to Mizuki and he tried to get back on "Not this time" Riku said before turning his staff. With that Mizukis arms were forced behind his back by something not seen and he growled as the crystal blade ran right through his left arm. Though he still struggled "Thalion....wake him up" Riku said "I can hold him but not wake him...thats your job"

[Rosekitten]

Even through the struggling and trying to force the other down or into submission he couldn't do it. With one hand broken he knew for sure this was a done deal. He should have just grabbed Raden and run, though running wasn't something he knew how to do. Really if he wasn't letting his temper getting the better of him at the moment he might bother paying more attention to his hand. Though he'd be reminded of it soon enough he was sure.

With Mizuki was about to strike again Riku came in and started to draw his attention. Thalion had to let out a relieved breath, that was almost too close. Why had he been so stupid to rush in here, sure he had fought Mizuki before but this time was different. It didn't help he didn't want to really hurt the other, maybe he was getting soft over the years. Raden moved a little to get near where Thalion was as he cringed a little. "I'm sorry I-" Thalion cut him off as the two mages seemed to go at each other for the moment.

"It's not your fault, this wasn't something either of us should have stepped into. Your alive thats all that matters." It was true enough, though to be honest with the boy he felt rather useless. He could have gotten them both killed and there would have been nothing he could ave done to stop it. Maybe after this war was over he should go back out and start working on his training again, like hell magic was doing him any good when he couldn't use it.

Though he was brought from his thoughts when Riku said he had to wake him. He growled a little knowing the first thought that came to his mind. "Tsk I'll wake him, after I punch his skull in.." Though he wasn't really going to, he had dealt with Mizuki like this in a similar state... so he knew or had a idea on what to do to get him out of this current one. Though he had a few things to get off of his chest first.

Grabbing the collar of Mizuki's shirt his ears went back before he bothered speaking. "Your damn lucky he's around or we'd have to kill your dumb ass for pulling this! Also you better learn to fucking run when my hand heals because I'm not letting you get away with that no matter what your damn temper was." He hardly cared if Mizuki could remember the threats or not or if he cared in this state but it made him feel better either way. "If you fucking bite me your dead..." He hissed out before kissing Mizuki, it was more of a rough kiss then anything though from what had just happened Mizuki might be lucky that Thalion didn't go through with his punching idea first off. Even if it wouldn't have done him any good.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki struggled against everything that was done to him. The fact that Riku was able to bind him made him upset so it fueled his anger even more. Mizuki was about to open his mouth and make a snide remark before the image of Thalion filled his vission and he was jerked forward as the male grabbed him "Oh I will show you what I-" But his words were cut off as the males lips before his colided with his own.

Mizuki growled deep and opened his mouth to do just as Thalion told him not to do. He was going to bite down...but there was something about the roughness of the brash kiss that made him pause in his actions. Soon he found his anger depleating but the heat and passion of the kiss coming full force. He was angry and mad and hurt but the feel of the worried love Thalion gave him made his powers simmer and finaly leave.

Riku stood there and watched as the blade all but disapeared from Mizukis hands and the anger of his aura depleate. Walking over with out a word Riku picked Raden up and carried him from the room telling Neimi to fallow. When she asked if it was alright to leave them after that Riku smiled "He is no longer a threat" He said over his cargo in his arms. And so Thaliona nd Mizuki were left alone.

[Rosekitten]

Neimi did quickly follow but only to notice the look on Raden's face. "You going to make it?" She asked before he shook his head. "I nearly got Thalion killed along with myself, why was I that stupid!" Neimi frowned a little still walking with Riku. "You were trying to help.. I would have done the same thing.. though I'd probably be dead by the beating you got" She smiled weakly, humans weren't as durable as some of the races and she was rather small to start with. She looked down before speaking again to Riku. "Will it happen again? I've seen what Thalion can do when he's.. gone. I don't want to see that again.."

He never bothered to notice that Riku had gotten Raden out or that they even left. He was about to clock Mizuki feeling his start to act like he was going to do what he warned him not to do. Like hell he was going to sit there and let him bite him. Though he kept his not busted hand holding his collar even as he pulled back from the kiss. He was more worried to see the same eyes from before then anything, though that didn't seem to be the case.

"You in control of yourself now? Because when I repay you back for what the hell you did I want to make sure you remember it." He slowly released the collar of Mizuki's shirt but he stayed where he was, he half expected the other to punch him again no matter if he was still enraged or not. Though this time was worse then the last, he didn't know why either. As far as he knew Raden had walked in on him being this way so he wasn't sure he'd get a reason as to why he was acting like this.

He shook his head a little before looking at the other. "You yell and throw a fucking fit because of something I can't control then you turn around and do the same thing nearly killing someone in the process? ..." He breathed out a little, really he was just glad it was over though he ended up being worse for wear by far.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stayed knelt as he looked at Thalion "What do you mean?" Mizuki asked as he looked around the room. It was trashed! Everything was in runes and blood plattered the floor. He was about to ask what happened when Thalion told him what just took place. Mizuki stopped dead cold "W-what..." He said before looking at the expression Thalion gave him "I...I dont remeber" He said slightly.

Looking around at the room he moved his arms forward and looked at them. Had he really caused all this damage and...who did he almost kill. Looking up Mizuki saw the state of Thalion. He was basttered and worse for wear but no where near death "W..who did I..." Then a flash before his eyes and Mizuki sank down hunching over "Raden..." He said in a pained whisper before he started crying "What...what have I done?" He asked as he coverd his head in his arms and began to weep.

[Rosekitten]

Even though he was still mad at him he couldn't keep this up with him breaking down like this. When Mizuki started crying he sighed before pulling the other close to him and holding him there, minding his one hand. "calm down.. Raden's fine. A bit beaten up but he's a trooper." He didn't remember? At the least when he entered into a state like that he could recall what had happened though it was mostly blurred together but he could still call to details and people in most cases.

"Mizuki.. please stop. I don't know what caused this but everything is ok now.. Riku helped stop you and he's getting Raden to get whatever attention he'll need." His ears dropped a little before he rested his head against the others trying to calm him down. Not that he was any good at this but it's all he could do. He didn't feel like getting out of the floor anyway. Maybe he shouldn't have been so stern with him, but he assumed it was like his own enrages and that he'd remember what the hell happened at the least.

[Pinkie]

Mizukis bodie shivered as he cried though the moment he felt Thalion pull him close and hold him was the moment he truely broke down. This is when all the fruistrations of the past days took hold and he wept hard. "Why....why always us" He muttered through his tears. It seemed to him that the fates truely hated them. Was this what the fates had instore if he stayed with Thalion?

"Is...is it us...are...we not ment...to be" He asked in a hicup. He couldnt believe what he had just said but it was there. Mizuki really hoped Thalions response was anything but what he feared.

[Rosekitten]

His ears dropped listening to Mizuki talk about fates and that maybe they weren't meant to be and all. He shook his head a little still holding the other close. What was he suppose to say.. he didn't believe in fates and everything. He never had any trust in the gods or goddess or that someone determined where and what road that one should take in life.

"To hell with fate.. the gods have never done me any favors." If they had he'd have a family and probably not live this life at all, he might still have a clan even. "They can say whatever they want about not suppose to be and I'll tell them to shove it.." He said before moving a little to get Mizuki to look at him. "I've yet to regret anything I've ever done when it comes to you.. even the first day I choose to not kill you when I had the chance. To hell with if it's meant to be or not what about our choice in this?"

[Pinkie]

"Our choice..." Mizuki said as he looked up to Thalion with teared eyes. Was it really up to them? Did they have any choice in the matter? Mizuki was one to believe in fates and higher powers. What happened happened for a reason and thats all he ever thought. So When this rant came out Mizuki really thought "Our choice..." He said again thinking out loud.

Then Mizuki said something that he was not really sure if he had said it or not "I choose you...." He said softly looking up to Thalion. It was cheesy and something Mizuki was a little embaressed by but he didnt care "Its always been you" He said

[Rosekitten]

He knew Mizuki was into fate and that there was a higher power, most mages were. But he never lived by that, Though most drow did pray to the dark goddess.. he never once bothered with such things. All of his clan had prayed to her and look where it ended them at. He nodded a little as Mizuki seemed to repeat what he had just said a second time. He figured he wasn't going to really go for that little spew he just put out.. but in that way Mizuki and Thalion were different.

Though his next words caught him off guard a little as he looked at Mizuki. "Mizuki... " He couldn't even believe that he had just said that, sure a few times he had said it was fate that they were together but he feared that when he started to question such things that this was going to be the end.. maybe he was going to lose Mizuki because of whatever higher being that was causing this to happen.

He pulled the other close again to rest his head on Mizuki's again. "We'll get through this... we have each other .. and even Raden and Neimi.." He smiled weakly, they still had one of the largest battles yet to come but he didn't doubt that they would win.. they had to for .. well for everyone's sake.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled a little smile through his tears and he clsed his eyes. They stayed that way for awhile before they were interupted by Neimi who came back to the room "You guys are still on the floor!" She huffed before crossing her arms "if you cant get up I will get some one to help you" She said and this earned a growl from Mizuki "No ones touching me" He said moving closer to Thalion. The only thing he wanted was to be with Thalion and near him and no one was about to pry them apart.

[Rosekitten]

He was about to relax again when Neimi finally spoke up. He wasn't going to protest to getting help with Mizuki so at least he was off of the floor. He knew very well he couldn't force him to stand with one hand busted like it was. He looked at Neimi with a bit weakened smile. "He'll be fine, you worry too much.. besides He'll be able to stand when he chooses to... heh not like I can force him." Neimi asked why that was before she walked over when Thalion didn't answer though she noticed he was favoring one hand.

Grabbing it she applied just the least amount of pressure causing her victim to wince. "You weren't going to tell me were you? Ugh your both damn stubborn!" She sighed a little before smiling weakly at them both. It was funny she'd rather them be like this then.. what had happened earlier and the day before. "I'd say stay there but you two aren't moving anyway." She shrugged a little before walking out to go fetch something to fix up Thalion's hand with, at the least she could make sure it healed.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki watched the exchange between the two and watched as Neimi grabbed his hand and Thalion whinced. When Neimi left and Thalion lowered his hand Mizuki took both of his hands and lightly grabbed that of Thalions wounded hand. Upon looking at it he saw that it was more or less crushed "Did...I do this?" He asked the other but got no response...that was answer itself.

Mizuki frowned. Fine if he did it then he would be the one to fix it. Saying a soft incantation he looked up to Thalion "Sorry" He said before he crushed Thalions hand between his two. He winced at the curse Thalion let out but as he drew his hands away he was happy to see or rather feel the bones moving and cracking back into place then healed. It took all of Mizukis energy but he felt so bad for what had taken place.

Mizukis eyes began to droop and he slumped into Thalion njo longer able to hold himself up. Everything was started to take hold of him and the more energy he used the more he wanted to pass out.

[Rosekitten]

He didn't want to answer Mizuki he had just gotten him to calm down. Saying it was his fault would upset him, though he figured the other could figure out it was due to him anyway. Besides normally the answer was yes whenever Thalion didn't answer a question or rather refused to answer. Though the next course of actions Mizuki seemed to take caught him off guard as he cursed a few times at the other in his own tongue.

Once he seemed to be done Thalion cringed a little, that was something he never wished to experience again. Healing over time was fine by him but that was .. he didn't want to think on how to describe the feeling of bone fixing itself. Though his attention was drawn back to Mizuki as he seemed to fall forward. As he caught him he sighed a little before speaking. "You could have left well enough be.. idiot.." He shook his head a little before testing the hand for a second.

He moved a little before forcing Mizuki to stand and then getting him to sit then lay down on the bed near them. "There now Neimi can't yell at either of us.." He laughed weakly before sitting on the edge of the bed with a sigh. "Also no more getting out of bed! or using magic for that matter. You were suppose to be healing and you went and pushed yourself again." He wasn't really scolding him but he did want to make his point clear.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki hissed as he was moved and laied down on the bed. His arm was bleeding and re opened old wounds but he was more tired and exhusted then anything. Mizuki smiled as he laid there and looked to Thalion who joined him on the on the edge of the bed. "I broke it so I fixed it" He said simply before he shrugged his shoulders "Besides...your going to need that hand" He said before his eyes closed half way "Just...dont leave me" He said placing his hand on Thalions leg before his eyes closed and he finaly passed out.

[Rosekitten]

He shook his head a little as Mizuki seemed to pass out finally. Really he was glad of it, Mizuki needed the rest. "You could have waited till you recovered.. " Neimi was right they were both stubborn. He moved a hand over the one Mizuki had placed on his leg and left it there. Riku had taken care of most of the work or at least setting up groups to take care of it so he guessed he could stay here till Mizuki woke up again. Or till Neimi ran him off saying he needed rest.

Neimi came back in as she went to grab his hand again. "Mizuki always ruins my fun.." She pouted a little before looking over the now resting Mizuki. "Well at least I can treat his wounds when he's like this.." She sighed lightly before going to work on it.
