Iruka onna no ko: [I am in a very bad mood so please
be patient with me.]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *eyes go wide, but doesn't
dare to move*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *pathetically whimpers*
NeoEarthPrincess: [Aww... ;.;]
Iruka onna no ko wants to directly connect.
NeoEarthPrincess is now directly connected.
Iruka onna no ko: [Cait came home and told me that
Devon thinks that one of her little sister's friends too the
picture. Devon, of course, failed to tell me that.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Troubles.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Duh. I would forget that one.. -.-;]
Iruka onna no ko: [The computer is being an absolute
fucking annoyance, to add to the entire thing.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*hugs* I'm really sorry.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Thank you.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Rei...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*nods*]
Iruka onna no ko: [Please be very patient with me, I am
not happy right now.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [I will be patient, but you don't need
to cuss.]
Iruka onna no ko: [I only gave you one word out of the
many that I've been using in the past five minutes.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Rei.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Alright, I won't cuss.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Thank you.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Are you going to have Andrew ask
for a kiss?]
NeoEarthPrincess: [I did.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [But Aphrodite left.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Okay, can you repost what you have
from me. I lost the window and posted a bunch, so I don't
know what you have.]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Making a very big effort to be nice
to Devon*]
NeoEarthPrincess: Kuja: *Eyes blink open and open
wide with a gasp as he realizes he has a sharp object at his
neck, body completely freezes over*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *also freezes*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Up. Now.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *looks at Kuja, looks
terrified*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *slowly gets up*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Presses his eyes shut,
breathing is irratic and quick*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *barely breathing at all*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Good. Now you. *Moves
the knife to the side of Kuja's neck so he can move*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Swallows and slowly sits up*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *moves to the foot of the
bed, still on the bed*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *inhales slowly and deeply,
as to not cause suspicion, holds the breath*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *moves to the foot of the
bed, still on the bed*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *inhales slowly and deeply,
as to not cause suspicion, holds the breath*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slowly moves off the bed*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Bend down and put those
on. *Indicates Kuja's shorts* I can't stand to look at you
like as you are.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slowly bends down, picks up
the shorts, and puts them on, breathing raggedly through
his mouth*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *To Andrew* I'm going
to...borrow him for a while. When I return with him, you
had better not have moved from the position that you sit in
now. If you have raised an alarm or if you have moved
one inch, I will slit his throat.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Tears start to slide down his
cheeks*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *eyes open wide*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *will Kuja to use his
telekenesis*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* Can I give him
a goodbye kiss?
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiles smugly and both
she and Kuja disappear*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *eyes go wide, but doesn't
dare to move*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *pathetically whimpers*
NeoEarthPrincess: [Aww... ;.;]
Iruka onna no ko: [That's all you got?]
NeoEarthPrincess: [No.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Geez, I have a lot to repeat.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [...]
Iruka onna no ko: [If I can remember any of it.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Oh, I lied, not that much.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Okies.]
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Reappears with a
tear-stained Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *slightly lurches forward,
but goes back to how he was, forgot he wasn't supposed to
move*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Bleeding badly, has two nasty
gashes crossing his chest, blood running down to his
shorts, two small streams of blood are coming from either
corner of his mouth*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiling* Thank you for
not moving, Andrew, you have spared him for a time
longer, perhaps.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nearly in tears, bites his
bottom lip to keep from doing anything that could endanger
Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *small nod*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Trying desperatly not to cry
and is shaking with the effort, fear, and pain of his
wounds*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *wills Aphrodite to leave so
he can comfort Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Still has the, now, bloody
knife to Kuja's throat*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers quietly* What
else do you want?
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: I want to see him suffer.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *refrains from tacking on a
name to the end of the sentence*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* Haven't you
seen him in enuogh pain already? He's bleeding, so you
must have done something to him...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *calling Aphrodite a bunch
of bad names in his head*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smile widens as she
slowly drags the knife across Kuja's neck, slitting a third
gash, hot blood begins to pour down his neck and chest,
joining the blood already streaming down his stomach from
the X of gashes across the chest*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whimpers*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *gasps*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Keeps the knife at his
neck*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *eyes go wide*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *eyes are pressed tightly shut,
mouth is inhaling air as fast as it can*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* What do you
want?
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Walks a step forward,
takes the knife from Kuja's neck, lifts the hand to the air
and slashes Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Jumps, eyes opening wide as
he tries to jump backwards, a diagonal cut starts to bleed
on his cheek*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiles* Hold still or I
may misjudge next time.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *jumps up and tackles
Aphrodite, not sure what more she could do to him*
NeoEarthPrincess: [<.<]
Iruka onna no ko: [Whoops.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Take mine out.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Okay.]
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Replaces the knife to
Kuja's throat*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *stays where he is, afraid
of what else she could do to Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *swallows, between
clenched teeth* Why are you here?
Iruka onna no ko: Arphodite: To show him what he
means to me. *Walks to the other side of Kuja, still
holding the knife to his throat*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whispers with a whimper*
God help me...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Can't you do that
somewhere else? *still has his teeth clenched, whispering*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Somewhere else? No, I
would rather watch you watch him bleed the life out of him.
Iruka onna no ko: [Stupid sentence. Oh well.]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *closes his eyes* And if I
don't watch?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Stop...please...
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Then you won't be able to
see me kill him right in front of you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *keeps his eyes closed*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* Kuja... I love
you.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Short sob*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Shut up.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Slices Kuja's other cheek,
quickly replacing the dagger to his throat*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Make me.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *has his eyes closed,
doesn't see Aphrodite cut Kuja(
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja; *Gasps as he jumps again*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *eyes open* Make me, not
him.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Would taking his soul back
to Hades sway you?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Bunnie'd bring it back.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: But that just means that I
can have the pleasure of killing him, again and again, for
all eternity.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *inhales sharply*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Starts to shake his head*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* Then I'll die,
and I'll be with Kuja in the Underworld. Then, he wouldn't
be alone.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiles*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Please stop...
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: Stop? Alright.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: But remember, Kuja,
destroyer of planets, torturer of souls, these wounds bleed
for the millions of lives you sacrificed for your own self,
they bleed for the thousands more that lost their homes,
their lives, and their loved ones.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sobs again*
Iruka onna no ko: [*Liked that little speech*]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *can't help but raise his
voice, slightly* That's the old Kuja!
NeoEarthPrincess: [*nods*]
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Ignores Andrew* Now,
every time your lover kisses you, you will both be
reminded of the threat and danger you pose to others,
your own loved ones most of all.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: You shall both be reminded
of the lives you forfeited.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *pulled the arm Aphrodite
had to Kuja's neck away from Kuja when he did*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Tried to push the knife up
into Kuja's chin, but instead got it pushed away, immediatly
changes the knife's direction and cuts Andrew's hand that's
holding her wrist*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Half collapses*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Moves away from the scuffle,
trying to regain his breath and mind*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *screams in agony, but
doesn't let go of Aphrodite's hand*
NeoEarthPrincess: What the-?
Iruka onna no ko: Eh?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Andrew?
NeoEarthPrincess: *looks in the direction of upstairs*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Cringed when he heard the
scream*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Ye, my love? Are you
alright?
NeoEarthPrincess: [Yes*]
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Grinning* My job here is
done. Goodnight, lovers.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Disappears*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Collapses to the ground*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *punches at Aphrodite*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *swears as she disappears
before he can hit her*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Puts a blood-soaked hand to
the wall, crying desperatly*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *quickly looks at Kuja and
hurries over to him*
NeoEarthPrincess: What was that?
Iruka onna no ko: A scream. *Starts for the stairs*
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods and follows Rei*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Shaking like shnick*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Oh God...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *pulls Kuja into a hug* Are
you okay?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Crying and bleeding, doesn't
answer*
Iruka onna no ko: *Races up the stairs*
NeoEarthPrincess: *follows, on Rei's heels*
Iruka onna no ko: *Opens the study door* What
happened?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *sits cross-legged, pulling
Kuja into his lap and rocking back and forth*
NeoEarthPrincess: *looks over Rei's shoulder* By Hera!
What happened?
NeoEarthPrincess: [Hera...? <.<]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Isn't answering to anything,
just crying profusedly*
Iruka onna no ko: *quickly turns and goes to the hall
closet*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *isn't paying attention to
the girls, only talking quietly to Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: *trying to gather everything in, stays
where she is*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Gets a handfull of old cloth
diapers from the closet and goes back into the study,
getting down on her knees in front of the boys*
Iruka onna no ko: [Not Kuja...-.-;]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Nods*]
Iruka onna no ko: *Tries to gently pull Kuja's shoulder
outward so she can have a good look at his chest*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Moans in pain*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *finally looks up and sees
Rei* Don't touch him! You're hurting him! Stay away!
NeoEarthPrincess: *blinks*
Iruka onna no ko: Andrew, let me help him.
Iruka onna no ko: I'm going to soak up the blood and try
to keep him from bleeding.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: You're hurting him...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: If he bleeds anymore, he'll be in
danger.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *small nod*
Iruka onna no ko: *Puts a cloth to Kuja's chest, it
immediatly turns scarlet with blood*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Biting his lower lip*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *hugs Kuja still, trying to
stay out of Rei's way*
Iruka onna no ko: *Turns around, removing the cloth
from Kuja's chest, holds it out to Bunnie* Here, take it and
put it in the sink.
NeoEarthPrincess: *snall nod, takes it*
NeoEarthPrincess: *goes to the bathroom in a daze and
puts it in the sink*
Iruka onna no ko: *Picks up another cloth and repeats,
on the third cloth, she holds it to his chest and picks up a
forth one, this one going to his neck*
NeoEarthPrincess: *doesn't run the water or wash off
her hands, returns to the study*
NeoEarthPrincess: *contniues to carry the cloths to the
bathroom*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slowly, also dazed, lifts his
chin up so Rei can access all the blood*
Iruka onna no ko: *Softly* Hold this here...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slowly lifts a hand and gently
presses the cloth on his chest to him*
Iruka onna no ko: *Removes her hand and, with another
cloth, works her way up to Kuja's cheeks*
NeoEarthPrincess: AndreW: Andrew: *raises his right
hand shakily lies it softly on top of Kuja's hand*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Small sob as she gently
presses the cloth at his neck closer to keep the blood from
running*
Iruka onna no ko: The wounds need to be cleaned. Can
you walk, Kuja?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods slowly after a long
pause*
Iruka onna no ko: Okay. Take him into the bathroom.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nods* Alright.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Still crying*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *shakily stands up, keeping
Kuja close to him, is forced to remove his hand from on
top of Kuja's*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *starts for the bathroom*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew, set him on the toilet and
come here.
Iruka onna no ko: *Follows him in and gets the scary
brown bottle out from under the sink*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *tone says don't argue with
me* I'm not leaving him.
NeoEarthPrincess: *sees the hydrogen peroxide and
nods* Fine, stay with him.
Iruka onna no ko: *Gets a clean diaper, puts hydrogen
peroxide on the corner of it and starts to dab at one end of
one of the spokes of Kuja's chest wound*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Jumps at the sting on his
chest* Ow...
NeoEarthPrincess: *flinches as Rei cleans Kuja's
wounds, remembers how it feels*
Iruka onna no ko: Andrew, it's okay...it's hydrogen
peroxide and it's supposed to sting.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: So don't use it!
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Still crying, biting his lip and
pinching his eyes shut from the pain and sting*
Iruka onna no ko: There's nothing else to use, Andrew.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew, it'll get infected. Stop
complaining. She's only trying to help.
Iruka onna no ko: *Comfortingly and softly to Kuja* I'm
sorry it stings, but it will get infected if it isn't cleaned.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *frowns but doesn't
continue to argue*
NeoEarthPrincess: [<.<]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods slowly*
NeoEarthPrincess: [*giggles*]
Iruka onna no ko: [It's fine.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*nods*]
Iruka onna no ko: And Andrew?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Yeah?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Still breathing raggedly,
shaking, and crying*
Iruka onna no ko: Lower your voice a bit when you yell,
alright?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: You only spook him more.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: It doens't look like it, but at this point,
yelling makes him feel insecure and unsafe. Okay?
Iruka onna no ko: *Isn't looking at Andrew,
concentraiting on Kuja's wounds*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *small nod*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *If Kuja were to try to speak,
non-understandable babble would be heard*
Iruka onna no ko: *Glances up at Andrew for a facial
reaction to her words*
Iruka onna no ko: Thank you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whimpers*
NeoEarthPrincess: [I have to go. I'll be right back
though. *sighs*]
Iruka onna no ko: [Okay...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Nevermind.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Spiff.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Hai.]
Iruka onna no ko: Will someone go get an ace bandage
or two?
NeoEarthPrincess: Sure.
Iruka onna no ko: Andrew, come're.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Hm?
Iruka onna no ko: Sit.
Iruka onna no ko: Come here and sit.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Hold his hand.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *goes and sits*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Hands are currently clasped
together on his lap*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nods and slips his hands
over Kuja's hands*
Iruka onna no ko: *Glances down* Hold his hand. Don't
cover them, hold them.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *gives Kuja's hands and
quick squeeze*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *whispers* I can't...
Iruka onna no ko: He needs to be able to squeeze your
hand when he has pain. That's the point.
Iruka onna no ko: Untangle his fingers.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *slowly tries to untangle
Kuja's fingers*
Iruka onna no ko: Don't worry about hurting him, you
won't, and he's so out of it anyway that if you did, he
wouldn't register where the pain is coming from.
Iruka onna no ko: Besides, it's minimal anyway.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Putting up a pretty good fight
with Andrew's hands, refuses to unclasp his hands for
several seconds*
Iruka onna no ko: If he can hear you at all, Andrew, he
isn't listening. Talking to him won't work.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: I don't want to hurt him
Iruka onna no ko: You won't.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Just do it, Andrew.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nods and forces Kuja's
hands apart*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *As soon as his hands are
unclasped, they immediatly grab Andrew's nearest hand*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Crying quietly now*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Eyes open, grasps Andrew's
hand tightly, and he jumps with a little yelp when Rei
moves the almost completely blood-soaked diaper to his
neck*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Relaxes with a quiet sob and
closes his eyes and hangs his head again*
Iruka onna no ko: No, no, gotta keep your head up.
*Gently puts her fingertips to Kuja's forehead and pushes
his head up*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *unsure what to do*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Keeps his eyes closed and his
lip bit, but doesn't fight*
Iruka onna no ko: Where's that bandage?
Iruka onna no ko: *Tries to yell quietly* Bunnie?
NeoEarthPrincess: *appears in the door* I'm coming,
I'm coming.
Iruka onna no ko: Okay, good.
NeoEarthPrincess: *has three ace bandages* Here.
Iruka onna no ko: Great. Set 'em here. I need some
padding or something to soak up blood first.
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods and sets them where she
indicated*
Iruka onna no ko: I have no idea if we have that sort of
stuff though.
NeoEarthPrincess: Gauze?
Iruka onna no ko: Yeah, that's the stuff.
Iruka onna no ko: I don't know where we keep that
though.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *moves his hands to Kuja's
shoulders and starts to rub them*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods and slowly lifts his chin
up*
NeoEarthPrincess: Kuja, where did she take you?
Iruka onna no ko: *Starts to bandage his neck*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I dunno...I haven't been there
before...it was cold and bright... *eyes slowly open,
remembering*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: There was someone else
there...
NeoEarthPrincess: Who?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Shakes his head* I can't
remember...
NeoEarthPrincess: *voice never loses it calm, placidity*
NeoEarthPrincess: Anything else?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...They were a dark
form...wearing dark colors...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I only remember them as a
shadow or a blur...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja; ...Too tight...
Iruka onna no ko: *Lightens up*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *stops applying pressure
with his rubbing*
NeoEarthPrincess: Did it remind you of anyone?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Negative...evil, maybe...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: They never moved, they just
stayed where they were...
NeoEarthPrincess: It's either Hades or Ares. *sighs*
Iruka onna no ko: Ares, I'll bet.
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: The room was bright...and...I
remember her getting angry at me for getting my blood on
the floor.
Iruka onna no ko: *Mutters* Stupid bitch.
NeoEarthPrincess: Her palace.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Then she cut me again.
*Flinches, remembering*
NeoEarthPrincess: Where though? Where's her
palace....?
NeoEarthPrincess: *rakes her brain, trying to
remember where Aphrodite's palace is*
Iruka onna no ko: Ask Ares.
Iruka onna no ko: I'm sure he's been there many times.
NeoEarthPrincess: I'm not talking to him.
Iruka onna no ko: Okay, neck's done.
Iruka onna no ko: If you want to get to Aphrodite before
she gets to Kuja, or Andrew or me, for that matter, you
may have to.
NeoEarthPrincess: *slightly trembling, voice still calm* I
can't.
Iruka onna no ko: ...Wouldn't Athena know?
NeoEarthPrincess: IU have no idea.
Iruka onna no ko: Ask.
Iruka onna no ko: She'll help you.
NeoEarthPrincess: I'm mad at her.
Iruka onna no ko: You are?
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Well...*sighs frusterated*
Iruka onna no ko: Why?
NeoEarthPrincess: Last time she came here an
argument arose because of her.
Iruka onna no ko: *Looks at Bunnie* Then go ask
Hades.
NeoEarthPrincess: What?
Iruka onna no ko: Nevermind, that was sarcastic.
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Well, you have more connections than
I would, if you want to find her palace, you should be able
to ask someone.
NeoEarthPrincess: Maybe I will..
Iruka onna no ko: Will what?
NeoEarthPrincess: Ask Hades.
Iruka onna no ko: Yeesh. Okay, so go ask him.
Iruka onna no ko: Okay, next, Kuja, I need to know
what's wrong with your mouth.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: She cut me...
Iruka onna no ko: Where?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: In my mouth...
NeoEarthPrincess: *eyes Rei* But, I bait...
Iruka onna no ko: That idiot...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: What?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: She cut the roof of my mouth...
Iruka onna no ko: So that's why blood was coming from
your mouth...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *turns Kuja in his lap and
looks at him* Can I see?
Iruka onna no ko: Well, that will have to heal on its own,
I can't do anything for that.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Opens his mouth, tipping his
head back*
Iruka onna no ko: *Stands up* The cuts on your face
will heal by themselves too.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *looks in Kuja's mouth and
cringes* There's no way that wouldn't hurt...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Can't you heal yourself?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...Yeah...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: So, do it.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I don't really have enough
energy...
NeoEarthPrincess: I can help...
Iruka onna no ko: Yeah, and this episode didn't do you
any good, I'm sure.
Iruka onna no ko: So I went through all that bandaging
when you could have said a magic word and be perfectly
fine?
NeoEarthPrincess: *rolls her eyes*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...sorry...
Iruka onna no ko: That's alright.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *looks at Bunnie* I don't
get you...
NeoEarthPrincess: *Bites her tongue*
NeoEarthPrincess: *surpresses her bitter comment* I
don't mind.
Iruka onna no ko: I don't think it's a good idea anyway...
NeoEarthPrincess: Why not?
Iruka onna no ko: Well, it doesn't seem as if he should
be doing anything right now except for sleeping, eating, or
resting.
NeoEarthPrincess: Why?
Iruka onna no ko: *Rolls eyes* Look at him.
NeoEarthPrincess: What is I gave him energy?
Iruka onna no ko: That'll heal his body, but not his mind
and spirit.
Iruka onna no ko: I don't think work will heal either any
faster.
NeoEarthPrincess: *lets a bitter comment slip* Andrew
can do that...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ... *looks down and away*
Iruka onna no ko: And I must especially refrain from
allowing you two to do that.
NeoEarthPrincess: *regrets she liet that slip, closes her
eyes*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Listening quietly*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja is in no condition to be doing
that.
NeoEarthPrincess: Kuja, can you stand?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Puts a hand on the wall and
lifts himself up off the toilet seat*
Iruka onna no ko: *Takes a step back*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I'm just shaky, that's all.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *doesn't stop Kuja, still
looking away*
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods and walks over to him*
Iruka onna no ko: Any remembrance of what just
happened and you'll burst into tears.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: *stands next to him and puts an arm
around his waist*
NeoEarthPrincess: Hold on to me.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *looks up, wonders what
she's doing*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *A little puzzled by what she's
doing, he reluctantly puts a hand on farthest shoulder*
NeoEarthPrincess: Hold on tight, Kuja.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Reaching his arm over her
shoulders*
Iruka onna no ko: Why?
NeoEarthPrincess: *ignores Rei, sweeps Kuja up, lifting
him off the ground*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *blinks*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Blinks*
Iruka onna no ko: o.O
NeoEarthPrincess: He's in no condition to walk, and
Andrew's in no condition to carry him.
Iruka onna no ko: *Chuckles*
NeoEarthPrincess: *starts for the door* And I'm sure
Andrew would object to the girlfriend carrying him.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *flinches*
Iruka onna no ko: ...
NeoEarthPrincess: *goes to the stairs and carefully
walks down them*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Where are we going?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Has both arms around
Bunnie's neck now*
NeoEarthPrincess: Sh.
Iruka onna no ko: *Scratches her head, kneels down,
and starts cleaning up the mess of diapers and drops of
blood that got on the floor*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *doesn't move*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't say anything more*
NeoEarthPrincess: [What's the room by the front door
called?]
Iruka onna no ko: [Living room.]
NeoEarthPrincess: *walks into the living room, can be
seen by someone upsairs, stands in the middle of the
chairs and couch area*
NeoEarthPrincess: I'm going to set you down. You can
lean on me for support, alright?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Yeah...
NeoEarthPrincess: *nods and slowly sets Kuja down in
front of her*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Stands there, nearly topples
over, and grabs Bunnie's shoulder, regaining balance*
NeoEarthPrincess: *takes a hold of Kuja's shoudlers as
well*
NeoEarthPrincess: *hands trembling, voice dealy calm,
speaks in a low whisper* You know I hate you, correct?
NeoEarthPrincess: [o.o;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ... *Face contorts with
emotional pain and he looks down* ...Yes...
NeoEarthPrincess: And you know I love you.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Lets go of Bunnie's shoulder,
flails his arms a bit, then regains balance and stands by
himself* No...I'm afraid I don't...
NeoEarthPrincess: *keeps her hands on Kuja's
shoulders, whispering* I do, Kuja. No matter what you,
Andrew, Rei, I, or anyone else do, I always will.
NeoEarthPrincess: If Aphrodite kills you, I'll save you
ask quickly as possible so you don't have to be alone. If
she threatens you, I'll make her suffer. If you ever need
anything, just ask.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Completely baffled*
But...why?
NeoEarthPrincess: Why not?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Because...you hate me...
NeoEarthPrincess: *looks down and nods* I can't help
it. I don't want to, but I do. looks up, eyes slightly
watery* I'll tell you a secret, alright?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I suppose I should be relieved
to see that I have a piece of the old self in me...I can still
manage to get people to hate me...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods slowly, still baffled*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Has never known that both
could exsist the way she says they do*
NeoEarthPrincess: *whispers, voice falttering(sp?)
slightly, then regainging it's composure* I hate you, and
don't want to. I love Ares, and don't want to.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Can only look at her,
completely confused*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I... *Nods slowly, eyes go to
the ground*
NeoEarthPrincess: *chews on her bottom lip*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I'm sorry I've...done all this to
you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Done what, Kuja?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I took Rei from you and now
I've taken Andrew from you...I don't mean any of it
personally, I swear I don't.
NeoEarthPrincess: I don't mind...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Yes you do...
NeoEarthPrincess: I don't.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: You attacked me that one
day...and...called me his new toy...
NeoEarthPrincess: I-... I was upset.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: You still hate me for those
things that I did...
NeoEarthPrincess: What things?
NeoEarthPrincess: Taking the ones I love and making
them happy?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Never thought of it this way*
Iruka onna no ko: [*Hadn't either* >.>]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Has*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Had*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [<.<]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Shrugs*]
NeoEarthPrincess: That, my boy, is why I hate you.
You did something I could not.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't know what to say, just
looks at Bunnie*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: But...
NeoEarthPrincess: *swallows* Yes?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: They were happy with
you...weren't they?
NeoEarthPrincess: Not as happy as they are with you.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks down, somewhat
ashamed of himself now*
NeoEarthPrincess: What's wrong?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...I didn't mean to...prove
anything or...
NeoEarthPrincess: *shakes her head* Don't worry
about it.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I've been worrying about it for
months now...'
NeoEarthPrincess: Well, you don't need to anymore.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Still looking at the ground*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Bunnie?
NeoEarthPrincess: Yes, dear?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Takes a step forward and
slides his hands under her arms, embracing her*
NeoEarthPrincess: *smiles and hugs him back*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whispers* I wish...I wish you
could be happy with me too...
NeoEarthPrincess: Me too...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Lets her go*
NeoEarthPrincess: *also lets Kuja go*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I do not hate you...but I do love
you, Bunnie...as a friend, you're the best I could hope or
wish to have and the best that I deserve to have. And, for
that, I am truely grateful.
Iruka onna no ko: [I have to go to dinner.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Be back in 30.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Okies.]
NeoEarthPrincess: *Leans over and as gently as
possible, takes the tip of Kuja's chin in her right hand,
leaning over and kissing him, eyes closed, pulls away, only
lingering a moment, keeps her eyes closed and talking in a
hushed whisper* I have to go now, dear friend. Andrew or
Rei will be more than happy to help you upstairs. I have to
go to Aphrodite before I can lose the wonderful feeling of
happiness I have now since I talked with you. And I'm not
a friend one should wish to have. But, we can argue that
another time. *Smiles weakly and teleports away, not
letting Kuja respond*
