Andrew's hand and lifts his butt up, reaching down and pulling
his tail out and to the side; replaces his hand over Andrew's*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *hottie chest [*for lack of
better word*] heaves in and out as if he were chuckling, but no
other indication is shown*

to the bed, and holds a knife to Kuja's throat before either of

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*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *nearly in tears, bites his
bottom lip to keep from doing anything that could endanger
Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiling* Thank you for not
moving, Andrew, you have spared him for a time longer,
perhaps.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *small nod*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Trying desperatly not to cry and is

knife to Kuja's throat*

Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: I want to see him suffer.
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *jumps up and tackles
Aphrodite, not sure what more she could do to him*
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Smiles* Hold still or I may
misjudge next time.
NeoEarthPrincess: [<.<]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Take mine out.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Whoops.]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *stays where he is, afraid of
what else she could do to Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: [Okay.]
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Replaces the knife to Kuja's
throat*
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Can't you do that somewhere
else? *still has his teeth clenched, whispering*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whispers with a whimper* God
help me...
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.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Make me.
Iruka onna no ko: Aphrodite: *Slices Kuja's other cheek,
quickly replacing the dagger to his throat*
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?
NeoEarthPrincess: *looks in the direction of upstairs*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Andrew?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Ye, my love? Are you alright?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Cringed when he heard the
scream*
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.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: You're hurting him...
Iruka onna no ko: I'm going to soak up the blood and try to
keep him from bleeding.
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: *doesn't run the water or wash off her
hands, returns to the study*
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: *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.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *frowns but doesn't continue to
argue*
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: [<.<]
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: [I have to go. I'll be right back though.
*sighs*]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Whimpers*
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *goes and sits*
Iruka onna no ko: Hold his hand.
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?
NeoEarthPrincess: *voice never loses it calm, placidity*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Shakes his head* I can't
remember...
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?
NeoEarthPrincess: *eyes Rei* But, I bait...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: In my mouth...
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*
NeoEarthPrincess: *regrets she liet that slip, closes her
eyes*
Iruka onna no ko: And I must especially refrain from
allowing you two to do that.
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*
Auto response from Iruka onna no ko: I'm
eating...lemme alone... ^^;
