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

Kiku looked at him "Well I didn't mean with just them." she replied. Feelign his hands around her waist she smiled. "I miss this.." she whispered. The feel of his tonuge on her ear made a shiver run throguh her body. "Is that so?" she asked turnign to face him. "Yes Titus has quite the grudge." she agreed. She kissed him lightly.

Sitting on the bed Kora sighed. "You mean how did I survive?" she asked. "My parents didn't survive." she explained. "I made it out on my own barely made it out." she said.

"Well thats the problem. I cant negotiate a peace treaty with only two people." Yugo frowned, though when she asked what he wanted a bright smile formed on his lips. He walked up behind his mate wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. "I dont care love." he whispered against one her neko ears. He licked it tenderly before placing a kiss down on her cheek. "I just wanna eat and enjoy some personal time with the neko who gave me two of the most lovely, yet annoying kids I've ever had." Yugo chuckled softly.

"Four days isn't an option. We'll make it two." Titus called from his closet. He came out holding enough clothes to last him for the week. "Now about my second question. That human my so called sister brought in called you a liar. How did your family survive when everyone he knew was killed?"

Kiku looked at Yugo as they entered the kitchen. "Well...my opnion may b biased but i think that its fair. I want you alive and it isnt huting them any." She replied. "Though i think tha you should negotiate a peace treaty with them." She replied. "What did you want to eat?"

"Okay well i guess there is that..." she sighed. Kora wasnt sureif se liked Tius or hated him yet. Taking the aple she bit into it. "I dont know probably three or four days maybe." She suggested. "Depends on ho fast we go."

ooc: lets leave Noel and Soara for the moment. He has more or less passed out from the pain anyway

ic: Yugo smiled and got up following his mate. He couldn't believe that he could walk now. He looked down at his hands flexing them a few times. He wasn't anywhere near 100% but at least now he wasn't completely helpless. "Hey..let me ask you something." he whispered as he followed her into the dining room. "Is...is it ok to sacrifice and use two humans for the sake of my health? I mean...I dont dislike them..or feel any much of anything towards them. They've always been..well..somewhat in the farthest depths of my mind. I've been granting them land to live on, but haven't been monitoring their numbers. Its completely possible that during the time Nagi and I were uniting the other wolf tribes that a few human villages were attacked. So, I'm wondering..if I really should send Soara and titus to intrude on their burial grounds."

"You'd be fucking lunch if I hadn't saved you. Also, I was the one who suggested taking you along for this little ride and dont you forget it." Titus frowned and turned to grab an apple from his desk. He figured she must have been starving so he tossed it to her. "Your freedom is dependent on me getting what I want. My father wont be there on this trip. So, I suggest you make it your top priority to clean the wax out of your ears and listen to me." Titus growled and turned to grab a few clothes for the journey they were about to take. "By the way, we have just a week. How long would it normally take to reach this village of yours? Also...how did your family manage to escape?"

Soara sighed as her father didn't budge. Grabbing Noel she led him to her room wehre she began to focus her healing on his legs. She would need him to walk to even think about completeing this mission.

Kiku smiled at the idea of spending some actual time with her husband. "That sounds wonderful." she replied. When he invited the others she secretly wanted them to not come and have him all to herself. WHen they declined the inviation she smiled lightly. "Lets go." she grinend pulling him after her.

Kora looked at Titus as he stood in front of her and began to spout off orders. "I beleive it was your father who really saved my life as you almost got me killed again." she muttered. "And I am not ditching your sister what is wrong with her? She seems nice enough to me and strong enough that's for sure."

Yugo wasn't going to give in on this one. Soara and Titus needed to put their differences behind them. It was a rough test, but there was no other way. "Good. Then I want you two to leave as soon as possible. Though, it make things easier if this human can at least walk." he stated, his eyes shifting down to Noel. "You're dismissed." Yugo stated and looked back over towards Kiku. He couldn't believe that he was actually sitting up on his own. "Hon lets go into the kitchen and get something to eat. Its been a while since I've been able to feed myself." He smiled and looked over at Nagi and Ama. "Will you two be joining us?" he asked. Nagi smiled, but shook her head. "No I'm afraid I need to talk to Daichi about a few things. Maybe next time." she whispered. Ama shook her head too. "I need to make sure that the team that came in after ours did their job right. Excuse me." Ama replied softly and bowed her head. Titus grabbed Kora by the hand and led her up to his room. Once inside, he closed the door shut.

"Alright listen up." He frowned, his arms crossing over his chest. "You owe me your life. That means you'll answer to me and me alone. When we go on this little hunt our objective will be at some point to ditch my sister and that loud mouth human. I want to get to this village first and prove that she's unfit to handle such a task. Hell..she's unfit to handle garbage..."

Soara ignored Titus this time. Deciding to be the more matue one this time. When her father said that they would escort eac othershe stood. "He'l kil me! He's already treatened likke ten times!" She exclaimed "there is no way!" She crssed her arms stubbornly. Hoever she couldnt refuse herfathe either se loved hikm s much. "For you then daddy but thats it." She muttered.

"Why am I not surprised?" Titus sighed and slowly shook his head from side to side. "You would bring a human in who would try to kill dad. Good job Soara." Titus spat sarcastically. "Dad just kill him. We only need one human to find the jewels you need. I'll take care of everything. "Titus stated. Yugo looked up at his son. Now that he was feeling a little better he wanted to address the fighting that had been going on between him and her. "Soara." Yugo called, his eyes shifted over towards his daughter. "You will travel together with Titus and retrieve samples of these jewels. You will also inspect the mine there and determine whether or not its safe to use. You'll be taking this human along with you and return him to whatever is left of his home." Yugo instructed before his tone grew deadly. "You have exactly one week to return. If you cant get the job done within that time...then dont bother coming back." Yugo ordered. Both Nagi and Ama's mouths dropped. "I'm sick of this petty fighting. I dont need children who are incapable of working together. Consider this to be a test." Yugo stated while crossing his arms over his chest. Konna yanked Noel back by his hair and literally threw him out of the room and into the hall. "Oh and Soara...be careful when you're around that human. I'm sure he bites.."

Kora nodded at his statement. She felt bad for the family and wanted to help them. Titus howver wanted to go long which was fine with her. She wasnt really comfrtable with the lord of the wolves. Soara stared at her father no sure how to respond. "I...i dont know. He has been direspectful after i brough him here to save his life. However we also have to consider that he had everything taken from him from our soldiers. Though he did try to kill you, yet he stone healed you..." she paused. "I'm not sure...."

"My health is declining. I wont last long at this rate so I must insist that you take me there I'm afraid." Yugo replied softly. "In exchange, you'll be released safely and will be taken to a villahe of your choosing." he stated, but Titus objected. "Dad you shouldn't move. We dont know how long you'll stay like this. I brought her here so let me after the stone!" Titus stated. Yugo sat back. Titus made a pretty good point. "Thats fine. Then, we just need to figure out what to do with this human here." Yugo sighed and looked over at Soara. "You brought him here. What do you think should be done? He's disrespectful and even tried to kill me. I'd say thats enough to have him executed no?"

Kiku savored the feeling of his lips on hers. "Dont say that." She replied kissing him once more. She stopped however as he addressed Noel and Kora. Noel's yling was pissingKoa off. "Oh sut up! Clearly their governement is no different the our on. There are those that lie and deceve. I dont believe that he did it." She said. At his question she looked uncomforatble. "Its sacred...i can show you and if you can find the mine then you can use it i guess. Though it is super sacred tere." She explained.

Yugo smiled against Kiku's lips. He hadn't been able to return one of her kisses in a while. He wrapped his arms tightly around her body. "I think its only temporary. I'm still not even close to my original strength." he explained before setting his eyes on Kora once more. "I understand. It seems like my army caused your people allot of pain. If you tell me where the village was I can look into who ordered it to be destroyed. During the war...I dont recall giving such an order." Yugo stated and looked over towards Nagi. "I never did either." she stated. Noel laughed. "Right. So, you're saying an army of demons just magically moved to attack an innocent village and you knew nothing? HA! Go fuck yourself. I wont tell you a damn thing. I wont allow any of your kind to further degrade my village." Noel hissed. Yugo rose to his feet becoming frustrated. His patience was about at the breaking point. Once again, he looked up at Kora. "Will you tell me where this village is, or whats left of it?"

Kora looked at Yugo as he spoke to her once more. Noel was really asking for it. She however wasnt completely stupid. "Well...um...the village is gone. It was destroyed by...well one of your armies." She explained. She was trying her best not to insult him or anyone else. Kora was smart and that was half thereason she became one of the best human healers around. Kiku hadheard the commotion and wandered in. "Whats goin o-" she stoppedspoting Yugo. "You're...you're okay?!" She ran and hugged him tightly. "Ho?" She asked kissing him passionetly.

"Fuck you." Noal spat through the pain. Yugo let out an annoyed sigh. He flexed his hand wondering just how long the effects would last on his body. "So it shatters after use huh?" he asked, though more to himself. He looked at Noel once more and ordered Konna to pull him up. "Where can this stone be found? Can it be mined?" he asked. Noel went silently for a few minutes. Soon though he began to laugh. He sat up, his head titled back as he laughed a little louder. "You demons are funny." he smirked, his eyes resting on Yugo. "I wont tell you anything. Go to hell monster!" he yelled. Konna, who had a firm grip on the back of his skull, slammed his head forward into the floor. "Yugo-sama give me just five minutes alone with this human. He WILL talk." Konna stated. Yugo let out a deep sigh and scratched the back of his head. He looked up at Kora once more addressing her. "You. Can you tell me where this village is located?"

"Oh yeah?! You wanna bet dumbass?" Kora hissed. She pulled the necklace out from under her shirt. Except hers was a light blue. "Want to call me a liar again?" She asked crossing her arms. Noel was getting quite the beating agan. Soara stood "you needto mind your manners!" She snarled. Then he began to answer their questions. "And thats what healed dad."

Noel shot his head back towards Kora, his gaze turning bitter. "Liar! No one from the village survived! They were all dragged out of their homes and murdered in the streets! Their houses were burned down to the ground, their corpses defiled! I buried over 100 people...so there's no way you're from my clan!" Noal spat. Yugo looked up at Kora then back down to Noel. "How does the stone work?" he asked. Noel looked back at Yugo and spat at his feet which got him a hard punch in the ribs from Konna. He leaned over, his body shaking from the pain. "It absorbs energy...and when the gem is full that energy is released. The stone is used as a form of energy..."

Soara felt tears o happinessstart to form in her eyes as she let go of her father. Noel's attitude was pissing her off. He was so disrespectful she didnt even want him here anymore. Kora stared at the wolf king. "I...i...i have one of those." She replied. "M...my parents gave it to me before they died in battle..." she explained. She knew that the necklace was powerful but not to that extent.

"Nii-sama?" Nagi blinked. Yugo couldn't explain it either. He hugged Soara, but soon set her off to the side. He noticed that the jewel he had touched shattered shortly after it had released its light. "Who is this human?" Yugo asked. Konna yanked Noel up by his hair so Yugo could see his face. Noel looked up baring his teeth. "What kind of jewel was that?" Yugo asked. "A stone from a clan. A symbol of adulthood." Noel spat. "Do all of the humans in your clan wear these?" Yugo asked. Noel looked at up him laughing. "I dont know..why dont you dig up their graves and see?" he smiled giving Yugo a mocking tone. Yugo's eyes narrowed a bit before shifting his gaze up to Kora. "You. Do you come from the same clan?"

Soara fowned looking down. It didnt look like she was going to win this fight. "Are you sure?l she asked. Then Noel was taking. "You are not hepin your case! She growled. then Noel was on the attack but Konna intercepted him. "Are you fuckin insane?" She yelld. When her fathr sat up she looked at him. Throwing her arms around him. "Daddy! You're better! Se exclaimed.

ooc: oh ok. I just pictured him being left with his hands between his legs. Funny stuff XD

ic: Noel was leaning over. Saying he was in pain was understatement. He was sure that Konna really had taken away his ability to reproduce. He probably wouldn't be able to use his penis for...a good while. He looked up though glaring daggers at Yugo as his bit down on his bottom lip. "Soara..." Yugo whispered, his hand reaching out for her. "No human is innocent.." he breathed and opened his eyes. Had he been well, he would have put Noel through a wall for how he was looking at him. "Here nii-sama." Nagi smiled and placed the cup to his lips since Yugo didn't have the strength to hold it himself. "So this is the mighty wolf leader hmm?" Noel stated with a shaky smile. Suddenly, Noel pulled out a dagger from his pocket! If he could just kill Yugo his people could be avenged! He launched himself out of the chair ignoring the pain that was shooting through his entire body. His movements were quick that he managed to get past Titus and Konna. He raised the blade above Yugo's body, but then suddenly tripped and fell short of his target. The pain from his legs being zapped had returned with a vengeance. He looked up to find that Konna had her claws digging into the back of his head mashing the side of his face into the floor. She raised her free hand ready to kill Noel on the spot

The pendant Noel had been wearing had flown off while he tripped and landed next to Yugo's arm. Yugo's dull colored eyes shifted over to it. He ran a single finger over the jewel. Suddenly, a blinding light shot out from the center of the jewel! When the light faded Yugo was sitting up! His skin had regained some of its tan like color. His eyes had become a little less void like and he had even gained some of his muscle mass back. "W-What the hell?" he blinked. Titus stood completely dumbfounded as did Ama and Nagi. Noel was thrashing on the floor trying to get out of Konna's grip. Blood began to drip down the back of his head from her hard her claws were digging into his skull.

OelOoc: naw theyd kill him if she left him haha

Ic: Soara set Noel down in a chair by the corner of the wall. "Yesdaddy its me." Se repliedsitting next to him she took hi hand. Attention was drawn to Titus though. Kora bowed lightly when she as put into plain viw. Shehad respect for leaders even if she didnt agree with ther actions. "Yes we dd father. We cant kill defenseless people. And this boy i special hes somthing else." She explained.

ooc: Was Noel left behind?

ic: "S-Soara?" Yugo whispered, his eyes only barely open. He definitely looked worse. Nagi sat down the tray she was holding by his night stand. "Just relax nii-sama. I'm going to make you something good." she smiled. Konna moved onto his bedside and gently ran her hands through Yugo's hair. Titus stepped inside pulling Kora in. He saw how sick his dad looked and his ears pressed firmly back against his head. "Maybe this isn't a good idea..." he muttered to himself. Yugo turned his head towards Titus. He could see what looked like a young girl standing behind him. He pointed to her, which made Titus step aside so he could see her better. "Um...we know you ordered us to kill all of the humans...but this girl isn't a fighter." Titus explained. Ama walked up to her mother's side to help with the tea. Yugo let out a groan and closed his eyes for a moment. "You disobeyed?" he asked softly. "Y-Yes..." Titus muttered, his ears still pressed down against his head.

Soara looked over to the door as her aunt entered. "Nagi! She exclaimed. Maybe her aunt would understan. Or not...she sighed in frustration. But Nagi gave her some hope when she sad that the could see Yugo. Her father would understand right? She folowed Nagi to their dads room. "Daddy. How are you?l she asked first.

At that moment, Nagi had walked into the thrown room. She was carrying a tray with some tea on it. She wasn't sure, but maybe a hot cup would help Yugo feel better. She looked towards Konna seeing that her daughter, niece, and nephew. "Who is screaming??" Nagi blinked. "Some stupid human." Titus stated. "Aunti Nagi we wanna see dad. We spared these two humans lives and Konna wants us to execute them." Titus explained. Ama kept quiet. "Were those your orders?" Nagi asked, her golden eyes shifting down to Noel who looked like he was about to die. "If they were you both have an obligation to follow them. Just because you're both royalty doesn't give you a card saying you can do whatever you want." Nagi sighed and shook her head. "I'm heading to see nii-sama right now. Konna, why dont you let them see him and just end this whole thing." she suggested before continuing on with her tray of tea. "Fine..." Konna sighed deciding to give up. She turned and followed Nagi towards Yugo's room. "Lets go." Titus ordered looking back at Kora and grabbed her hand once more.

Soara looked at Konna as she stepped in front of her. She just stared at her not saying anything as she spoke. Hearing Noel she looked down surprised. "I would shut up..." she mutterd. However he didn't and he suffered the consequences. She shook her head. "Are you stupid boy?" she asked incredulously. Kora stared at Konna not sure what to say. She decided to stay silent this time.
