Fire & Ice II: Age of Rebirth(private/mature/continued)

Kora blushedas he rturned her compliment. "Thank you...l she laughd. Returning his kisses she moaned softly as she felt his hands travel over her hips. Allowing him to pull her into his lap as she kissed him. Her hand traveled up his shirt exploring his musclular chest. Her tongue slowly slid into his mouth playing with his own.

Titus practically melted into her touch. The sensation that came from her running her soft fingers through his hair sent hard chill down his back. He opened his eyes and smiled as he gazed down into her own. His cheeks were still a bit red even though he was trying his hardest to stop blushing. "I-I love kissing you too." he replied softly and leaned in again to return her kiss. His hands slowly ran down from her cheeks, along her sides, and over her waist. He wanted her closer, so he pulled her onto his lap. His tail started wagging happily behind him as his ears perked up a bit.

"Is she dead?" Kim blinked as he walked up to Jabberwock. The dragon had a grim expression on his face. Kim peeked inside the crater. Even he could tell what had happened. He jumped down into the hole and ran his hands over the bodies. "A mixture of the elements. My guess is that she strung these together. They're...clones if you will. I wonder when she made the switch though..." Kim sighed and rose to his feet. He looked down and noticed that his suit was dirty...again. "We're leaving.." Jabberwock frowned. He had spent enough time playing mutts. He needed to get the giant sized gem they had stolen back to the Empire to be analyzed.

Kora enjoyed th fee of Titus touching her cheek. Returning his kisses she ran a hand through his hair. Her tongue came out meeting his on her bottom lip. She kised him again passionetly as her hand movedup his chest. "I love kissing you...." she breathed before kissing him once more.

"Oh." Titus blinked. His kind wasn't exactly knowledgeable about technology either. Most of everything in the capital relied on magic based power sources. He smiled feeling her lay her head on his shoulder and closed his eyes. The day had been a long one and Titus was ready to relax while they waited for his cousin. Tho, now that he thought about it...how would Ama know where to find them? He was about to sit up and ask Kora, but was caught off guard by her kiss. His cheeks instantly flushed. He couldn't fight her though, not that he ever would. "Mmm..." Titus moaned softly against her lips. His finger tips gently traced over her cheeks as he returned her kiss. He leaned into her a little more running his tongue against her bottom lip.

Kora rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. At his question she shook her head. "I didnt no. My parents however did. I dont know how everything works but i'm assuming technology of some sort? I dont really knowactually." She admitted. Sitting up she looked at Titus and smiled. Leaning in she kissed him deeply.

"I see, well thats good." Titus sighed in relief. He looked up and around her hidden base. He had always been taught that humans were simple creatures, but from what he could tell they were far more advanced then what they appeared. "So did you actually build all this? And what was with that sliding door? Does it use some sort of magic or something?"
Meanwhile, Jabberwock was closing in on Ama. The hybrid began to notice that the dragon was getting faster...or maybe she was getting slower. She couldn't tell. Ama had lost allot of blood and was pushing her body to the limits. Elements of earth, wind, water, and fire surrounded her arms. She stretched her hands out firing a volley elemental blasts. Kim jumped back several feet. He didn't want his suit getting anymore dirty then what it already was. With the ground covered in a mixture of dirt and dust, Ama raced over towards Noel's body and scooped him up in her arms. Suddenly, Jabberwock's head came pushing through the dust. He was standing right in front of Ama, his fist cocked back."Boo.." he grinned. Pure unfiltered fear filled Ama's eyes. Was the dragon indestructible?! She could only watch as his fist came racing down towards her body. A second later, a massive shock wave rocked the earth. Jabberwock pulled his fist back. In the center of the crater he had made were two lifeless bodies...

Kora chuckled lightly at titus. "Yes you are I promise." she smiled as he kissed ehr back. When he pulled her leg over his lap she sighed. "Yeah it's fine...no pain really at all." she assured him. "And you are welcome with your sister...I just wnat things to get better. I know it won't happen right away though."

"you're welcome." Titus smiled, seeing that she was cheering up a bit. His cheeks turned bright red and his eyes widened a bit after hearing her compliment tho. "I-I'm not really...'that' amazing." Titus chuckled. "I mean..you've been trying to help me with my sister. You're the amazing one for even bothering to get involved. Speaking of which....sorry for snapping at you before. I know that you were get trying to help the both of us. Honestly though, I think its going to take a while...a long while..." he sighed softly and leaned placing a soft kiss on her cheek and then another on her lips. He really, really loved kissing her and could do it all day if she'd let him. "Oh." Titus blinked and pulled her legs up over his lap. "How's your burn? Is it still hurting?"

Kora leaned forward resting her head on his shoulder. "Thank...you..." she whispered in his ear. If it wasn't for Titus she didn't know where she would be right now. She'd probably have been killed in the attack, eaten alive was more accurate. Then she would be with her mother and father right now...but in reality as nice as it sounded she didn't want that and neither did they. Sitting up she wiped away her ramainin gtears. "You're amazing you know that?" she asked leaning forward she kissed Titus softly.

"I understand." Titus replied softly and moved up to sit down beside her. "We'll do what we can. As soon as Ama gets back and the dragons clear out we'll go back to the village and see if anything has been left. Maybe we can find some gem fragments are something for my dad. As soon as we can get those fragments to my dad I'll personally come back and help fix things up. I doubt they actually destroyed the grave stones. I bet they've just been misplaced is all."

Kora allowed him to lead her to the couch and sat on it. As eh soothed her she wiped at her tears. "Sorry I'm a mess..." she sobbed. Looking at him kneeling in front of her brought a smile to her lips. "I...no..I just want their grave stones back..." she whispered. In truth the stone she had around her neck was enough material wise however she didn't want them to go unremembered.

Titus' ears lowered. Maybe he had used the wrong set of words. He held Kora a littler tighter and walked her over towards a chair. After sitting her down, he took a knee in front of her and ran his finger tips over her hands. "What if we could maybe get that gem back from the dragons? I mean, it was taken from the earth your people lived and worked on...so it must be apart of them right? Whoever wins this tournament must comply with the will of the victor. IF we win I can suggest to my aunt or Konna-san that the dragons return whats yours back to its place." Titus stated. He wasn't sure if his suggestion would make her feel any better, but it was worth a shot.
Meanwhile, Ama was starting to loose consciousness. She had used every skill she had just to avoid death. She had shot lightning, fire, water, wind, and bullets of earth at the dragon yet he still stood and with only minor injuries. "Are they safe yet?" she muttered. Her ears shifted from side to side trying to pick up the sounds of her cousin's footsteps. She could still smell them, but the scent was faint. Finally, her eyes shifted over to Noel. The human was as good as dead, but maybe if Ama healed him he'd pull through. Actually, Ama wasn't even sure if she wanted to. She could only imagine the drama that would consume the palace when everyone learned that Soara had, had relations with a human. "You done yet brat?" Jabberwock frowned, cutting off her thoughts. Ama looked up at the dragon and a small smile formed on her bruised face. "Yes, in fact I believe I am..."

Kora snuggled into his embrace using it as a safehouse. Her body slighly shook wth her sobs into his chest. "Its all gone...my home...their graves...all of it..." she whispered shakingher head. When he mentioned rebuilding it she cried harder. "You cant rebuild their possesions or their bodies...you cant rebuild the memories..." she sobbe.

"Kora.." Titus whispered. He pulled her into him and gently ran his hand along the back of her head. "Let it out.." Titus replied softly. It was better for her to cry now then to hold it all in. He couldn't even began to imagine the kind of pain she must have been going through. All the graves were gone along with the monument to the dead. "Listen, I'll get down to the bottom of this. I'll figure out what the hell is going on. Maybe someday we can rebuild your village.."

Kora felt bad for Titus she really did. He was still so young and he had so much thrown on him. However she didn't want him to go still. Kora smiled as he wrapped his arms around her once more. Returning his kisses she sighed. When he brought up her village she looked at the ground. She had been holding back the tears as they were in trouble now however...they flowed freely.

"B-But..."Titus muttered and looked down. His ears pressed back firmly against his head. "These dragons are spitting on our family name. To make it even worse, they went ahead and tore that village apart to find the gem we're looking for. My dad could already be..." Titus replied softly and turned towards the entrance where he had just came. He was tempted to go...really tempted. The hybrid sighed though and turned back to Kora taking her in his arms again. "I'll stay." he smiled. He leaned in placing a soft kiss on her lips followed by another. "How are you doing though? I cant imagine what it must feel like to see the remains of your home destroyed...A-Are you ok...Kora?"

Kora melted into Titus's hold on her. God she missed this. "It's okay..." she whispered back to him. She returned his kiss with just as much passion before pulling away and heading down the stairs with him. "Really well. I took out all the rocks and put ointment on the wounds. I'm sure she's sleeping by now." she explained. When Titus began to speak about going to help Ama she frowned. "I know that you feel you should...but Ama knows you shouldn't. Listen to her for once please." she was so worried that he would go intot he battle irrationally and get killed.

Titus wrapped his arms around Kora's body. He held her as if he had almost lost her. "I'm sorry.." he whispered and nuzzled his nose into her neck. He pulled back some and planted a passionate kiss her soft lips. "I'm here now tho." titus replied softly and wiped away her left over tears. "How is Soara?" he asked and took Kora's hand as they walked down the steps. "I think Ama is still alive. With any luck she'll make her get away if she can. I think...I should be out there tho. I know it was her order for me to leave...and I know that 'technically' she out ranks me...but I just think its wrong to let my cousin fight against that monster..."

Kora spotted Titus just s she was pressing the button. She quickly canceld the action as he ran in. Shuttng the door ten sh locked down the tree. He hugged him tightly wiping her tears on his shirt. "I thought you werent going to makeit..." she whispered. Soara slowly fell aseep as her body began. To fix itself, she would be a goner more than likely without her healing abilities.

"Wait for me Kora..." Titus thought to himself before another hard shockwave rocked the ground. Titus looked over his shoulder. Whatever was happening it was clear that the battle was still going on. He looked forward and his ears perked when he spotted the tree Kora was using for a hideout. He lunged for the trunk, but was already 2 seconds late...
Meanwhile, Ama was bleeding from her ears and nose. She had thoroughly zapped the crap out of the dragon, however her attack had only pissed Jabberwock off. He had nailed her with a back hand to the face that had sent her body flying hard into the ground. "W-What?" Ama muttered. She placed her hand to head feeling something wet and warm running down it. "B-blood..." she whispered and looked up to see Jabberwock standing over her...

Kora finished wrapping Soara's arm. She then turned to the second arm and began at the process all over again. "I'm going to make tea...be right back." she was mostly making it for herself. The stress was getting to her. Titus had one minute to get back. As she filled the pot she dropped it once and felt herself begin to cry. Starting up the stairs she waited ready to press the button and lock the hideout down.

"Is there anything left?" Kim asked as he dusted himself off. Jabberwock's blast and kicked up a ton of dirt and now his precious white suit was ruined. "Hardly." Jabberwock grunted. He over towards where he had last seen Ama and the only thing there was a giant crater. "How disappointing..." the dragon prince muttered. Suddenly, he eyes narrowed. There was a weird rise in the earth's crust. Just then, Ama came bursting out from the ground! The hybrid had surrounded herself in a thick layer of stone to shield her body. She reached up from underneath Jabberwock grabbing his balls through his pants. He gazed up at him and a wicked smile spread across her lips just before she sent tons of electric shots tearing up his body. There were so many that Kim had to guard his face from the blinding light the shocks were creating.
Meanwhile, Titus was racing back towards the tree. It had been nine minutes since he'd left. He wasn't sure if Ama was alive or not, but he could still smell traces of her scent.

Soara winced as Kora kept plucking out rock nd cleaning the wounds. Suddenly the ground above shook. Koa stood walking over to a small very old computer screen. Taping it she read some readings. "Not a earthquake...its the fight..." she wispered. Her heart was racing as she began to heal her burns. Taking out an ointment she spread it on hr arm.

Ama had been fighting Jabberwock as hard as she could. She had pulled just about every trick in the book and still Jabberwock only had a few minor scratches. Ama's ears pinned back against her head. She let out a sharp hiss as she leaned over, panting to catch her breath. Jabberwock's smile faded. He was growing board. "Really..is this all an Ogami brat can do?" he asked and shook his head while stretching his left hand out. "Die." the dragon ordered shot out a concentrated blast of pure energy..
Meanwhile, Titus retraced his steps. Since he couldn't use any earth element techniques he had to erase their tracks by sweeping the ground with a branch he had plucked off a tree. Suddenly, he looked up feeling the ground shake violently underneath his feet. He looked spotting what looked like a mushroom shaped cloud rising up into the sky from where he had left Ama and the dragons. "No.." he muttered. Had Ama lost? Had she been killed???

Soara laid back on the bed taking deep breaths. She couldnt remember her body ever huting this bad. Koa nodded at Titus "be careful okay? I want you back in one piece." She stated. As he left she stared at his back then turned to Soara. Grabing a medical kit she pulled out tweezers and began to dig the rocks out of Soara's skin. "If you hadnt been underground it wouldn't have been that bad...l she muttered
