When Kazuki made his attack Beaux had begun channeling as much energy as he could into the barrier around himself. After the attack ended he stood still for a minute a distant look in his eyes with his blade held loosely at his side. The top half of his gi was gone, except for a little strip running from his left shoulder down to the dragon emblem, the bottom half had been singed to a light brown, and his hair was back to normal although the ends were singed. Son of a--no, that would be insulting Sakura, and she's done nothing to deserve that. He reached up and pulled down a strand to examine it better. "If I wasn't so exhausted I would kill Kazuki for this." He tossed Dannern up to his room through the window, it landed softly on top of his bed as the collapsible black bow.

He walked into the house still with a somewhat glazed look. He climbed the stairs mechanically and grabbed a change of clothes just before practically falling into the shower. He desperately tried to get the discoloration out of his hair.

Kazuki: he's the one who said not to hold back * though stil that wasent me I was only able to see what was happening I had no control over my body that was so weird

Kokuyoku: heh

Kyo: yo zakk come eon in and you know what I really dont care so do what you want { he walks back inside} hey sakura zakk heres and we havent fought yet so you should say hi before the apocalyspe happens

Seth calms down "Fine jackass but i'm still thinking lawsuit." Seth walks inside "Hey Kyo long time no see." Zakk laughs "Yeah i guess i can fight you later, you know when the ground acctualy becomes stable." Seth stares at Sakura "Hello, i guess you were asleep when i came in, well anyway, nice to meet you." Seth tries to smiles but his muth has some blisters on it "Ow..." Zakk sits down "hello your Queeness, Kyo have you cooking a million meals a day still?" Seth grabs something out of his front pocket on his pants, burn medicine "Im kind of clumsy around fire so i always have some." Seth rubs the cream around his burn marks

Sakura smiled at the three as they entered the kitchen and bowed respectively. "It's good to see you again, Zakk. It's been awhile. And no, it's a little less than a million now, but with Kazuki taking up his appitite, it's probably close to being doubled, truth be told." She laughed softly and took a small drink of her coffee before turning towards the youngest of them all; Zakk's son.

"It's very nice to meet you as well, Seth. You know, you're a really good fighter. I noticed that you take after your father a lot in the fighting styles, though, just as Kazuki does Kyo and Beaux does his father, Kale." Her voice had lowered slightly near the end of her sentence because she knew Beaux would probably not like to hear that. It was true, however, though he also undoubtedly took after his mother's fighting styles as well.

"If you want, though, either our daughter, Mizuki, can treat your burns, or I can, and with what I can tell from just glancing at them, we could probably have them gone in two or less minutes for you." Sakura said, her caring instinct appearing at the sight of the smaller wounds. Well, smaller compared to what she was used to treating, anyways.


Mizuki, having watched the entire training/fight between Kazuki, Beaux, and Seth, was planning to go and tend to her brother until she saw Saya near him. They may be talking about something important, so I won't interupt. Besides, if he needs anything bandaged, I'm sure Saya would know how to, and if not, he can come and find either Mom or me and we'll do it.

With that thought, she turned and walked inside, walking up the stairs and turning into her room, closing the door quietly behind her. Stepping out onto her balcony, Mizuki closed her eyes and allowed the wind to gently play with her hair in the new found silence of the area surrounding the house. Maybe we will get that one day of calmness we all deserve, she thought with a silent sigh.

Kazuki: ahhh damn { he holds his arm and his woulds starts to heal up but then stop} dammit it hurts

Saya: I'm gonna go clean up okay

Kazuki: sure go for it { he stands up and he walks over to sakura} hey mom can you bandage up my arm for me

Seth sighs "He isn't my real father i think, it's kinda strange to put it, i just kind of... appeared next to him while i was still a new born." Zakk smiles widely "It is true, he just somehow ended up next to me, i did have a wife, but she never said she was pregnant." Zakk scratches his head "We don't know where my wife went though, never saw her since Seth appeared." Zakk holds up his hand and the medicine Seth had used worked faster, all of Seths cuts healed up leaving not even a scar "And now he is my son, i love him like he was my real son, even if he might be already." Zakk hugs Seth "Dad you're embarrassing me!" Zakk lets go "Oh well, i tried." Zakk sighs "I have to thank you yet again for your hospitality Sakura, I just realized this is like the fourth time Seth and I had to thank you."

Grim: { walking around what looks like the city of valhalla} hmmmm so I wonder kyo hasent called me inawhile so I guess that means I can take this ay off hmm { he sees abunch of girls} hello ladies mind if I buy you girls a drink

girls: sure why not

Grim: allright lets go then to the nearest bar

{ back to the others}

Kyo: mmmmmmm so what now

Kazuki: beats me I need t be patched up but other then that I haven no idea { he puts the tv on and its like the news and their talking about the demonic tournament coming up} heh

KYo: { watches the tv} this is ridiculous

"Sure, Kazuki," Sakura had said after being asked to bandage his arm. She quickly grabbed a first aid box and walked over to Kazuki's side, gently, but firmly, grabbing his arm. As soon as she moved beside his arm, she began wrapping the bandage around it and she continued wrapping it while replying to Zakk's previous comment.

"You don't need to thank me for anything, Zakk. You know that. I'm glad we're able to talk to you again, though. As I said before, it's been quite some time since we've last talked to you."

With a swift yank of her hand, the bandage from his arm ripped off of the rest of the roll and she was able to finish wrapping the remainer around him, dropping the rest of the roll on the chair beside her. "There you go, Kazuki. I didn't get it too tight, did I?" she asked, her gaze finally lifting from his arm.

Kazuki: { he looks at his arm} nah its fine I'm doing okay I guess I'll go up to my room hey saya wanna go bug my sister she seemed sort of down

Saya: sure why not { she walks with kazuki up the stairs

Kazuki: so yeah I did say I wanted to go out today but I dont think I can

Saya: its allright I understand

Kazuki: thanks { he stops walking for a minute and he sees himself in his hea and then it flashes and his fangs are there and his eyes r red and his hair is jet black* { dammit if this keeps up I'll lose control of myself I cant lose!* well lets get going { he walks into his sisters room uninvited} yo whats up {he stands next to her} so whats up and dont lie somethings on your mind right

Saya: { stands next to her on the other side} yeah you know you can tell me you know were friends right so you should tell me about it you dont need to tell him cause he's your brother their suppose to be kept in the dark about stuff

(only 2 posts in three days, what the hell you all usually have twelve pages of posts by now! i was on vacation for three days so i have an excuse @.@ )

Seth looks around "So this is a pretty nice house, i have to wonder, what do you do for fun around here? do you all just keep eachothers hands full?" Zakk stands up "if you need us Seth and i will be outside i've got to teach him some attacks." Zakk holds his hand out and his scythe, Harlem, apears "Dad, why do you use that old scythe?" Seth walks with Zakk outside "because he doesn't like being called old." Zakk steps out the door with Seth

Kazuki: hmmm I wonder whats gonna happen after this is all over I'm kinda feeling abit homesick I think I'm gonna have to train some more though I'm so tired I will get stronger so this kinda of peacefulness could remain forever

Kyo: sure go ahead *yawn* jeez I know I just got up bt I'm not a morning person { he gets himself a cup of tea and he starts drinking it} ahhh thats the stuff


Sayuri: well I guess I should start cleaning up { she starts to clean the table}

Kyo: { he takes another sip} * its getting closer and as I am now I dont think I help them but I'm not that old I still have one more tick up my sleeve I'm still the best*

Kazuki: I am alittle worried

Saya: hey relax will you you should just not worry

Kazuki: yeah I guess your right so mizuki you got to rerember to smile and dont look so down

((OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in forever everyone. This past week's just been kind of busy. And the week before that was finals followed by my big brother's college graduation ceremony.))

Tasha made some tea, and walked over to Sakura offering her a cup. "So, just who are those two? The weirdo and his dad, I guess. Obviously they're friends of everybody else here. But what are their stories? They're giving me a...a weird vibe. Especially the dad."

--------------------------------
Beaux changed into the black slacks and white t-shirt he had brought with him. Sighing as he looked into the mirror at his singed hair, knowing that it wasn't going to be returning to normal anytime soon, if ever. I guess there's not really anything else for it. He retrieved his knife from his room and sat on his bed looking at a mirror as he cut off the damaged parts of his hair, cringing with every strand that fell to the bed.

He sat and stared at his reflection in the mirror. "There's not much point in keeping all of this now. Things have changed. I might as well too." He took the blade to his hair once more. (Beaux's new hairstyle. http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs43/f/2009/ ... erKale.jpg)

After he was finished he put on a smile. Shook his head thinking how ridiculous and light he felt right now and headed off back downstairs, he glanced into Mizuki's room on the way down. "Kazzuki, thanks." He muttered just loud enough to be heard as he passed the doorway. He wasn't sure if Kazuki would understand why he was thanking him, but he felt like he had to say it anyways. The damage to his hair had caused him to think about how he'd changed recently.

As Beaux arrived in the kitchen he poured himself a cup of Tasha's tea, and went to stand next to Tasha and Sakura, interested in Seth as well. He'd heard about Zakk and his abilities before. The concept of dealing with someone with what Kale had called a demon's powers was a little disconcerting, but it couldn't be worse than the Kokuyoku.

"Harlem lets start teaching."Zakk's scythe talks"Been a while Zakk." Seth stares in shock "What the HELL is that!?" "It is Harlem my old scythe i got from Kiba, apparently Harlem was some kind of spirit walking around me all the time and he locked himself inside of this thing." Zakk takes a deep breath "never mind that, just observe my oldest technique... Bloodshed Devil Slash!" an enormous slash of red energy moves like a tidal wave engulfing the burnt trees around them Seth stares in awe at the destruction of the already destroyed nature "that... just... isn't possible." "well i am the devil after all, Now watch this, before it kills someone i can make it explode." Zakk holds his hand out "Burst, Devil's eradication!" The wave explodes creating a large scale crater "Dad, i think you went a little overboard." Seth twitches "um i think you are right, i think i can fix this... maybe." "MAYBE? you ****' blew a section of the world into OBLIVION!" " yes but i think i can fix it." "alright lemme try." Seth loads his guns with ammo Zakk gives him "Bloodshed hell bullet." Seth fires two shots and both release a very mush smaller and stream like blast of red, regardless, when they hit a tree the tree shatters like glass and the bullets continue going "how do i stop them?" "Sorry only the devil can stop demonic energy blasts." Zakk blows the bullets up but there is smaller explosions "not quite as good as mine but very good for a first try. Now lets move on." "oh please don't blow stuff up again." "don't worry its not that bad, now... Vanish in a sea of blood mist!" a red cloud covers Seth and Zakk blinding Seth "what is this, if i can't see you how do i learn?" Seth hears the sound of claws extending "Oh so i guess you would slash the person?" "Yes, but only thirteen times, otherwise the mist will rebel against you, you will go blind if you do anymore or less, it is called... Blood Tyranny" Zakk's claws retract "okay." Seth summons a cloud of blood but then it disappears and Zakk's disappears "i will need blade attachments for that." Seth and Zakk look at the area, destroyed and ugly. "i can fix most of this, if not all.

Kazuki: { he looks to where beaux is} huh? what the hell weirdo { he looks out into the landscapes} hmm snow still didnt melt yet oh well guess I'l go snow board and possibly cripple myself we have time ohh and mizuki you should read this letter { he hands her the letter from the morning to her but then he has a flash back quickly when mizuki got the scar on her leg and he makes a fist} * I wont let that happen to her ever again or anyone*

Kyo: ahh beaux just the man I wanted to see I'm curious about that weapon of your dann it seems to have its own soul or consiousness if you will can you use him to his full extent yet? I'm just curious sorry if I'm asking to much kazukis black sword is like that 2 only it wont talks with kazuki only the kokuyoku which is why things might get alittle bit tough down the road { he sits back in the chair} so it would be good if you can atleast control it to it's full extent

Little Kazuki: { he follows tasha around} hey auntie I'm bored I'm gonna go watch tv okay { he walks off playfully and he sits on the couch and watches tv}

"Hmm, Dannern?" Beaux sits down across from Kazuki. "So that's what the deal with that sword is. Yeah, it's a bow that's been infused with the spirit of a blue dragon. What do you mean 'control it to it's full extent'? Dad did mention once that Dannern probably had some secrets that I might need some help to access. Although he didn't go into details as to what that help would be, or who it would come from."

Kyo: hmmm lets see it's gonna sound weird but bear with me kazukis sword is a demon weapon a weapon with a living soul their arent many around that are known but from what I leazrned you need to some how well dannern and you both have souls dannern has accepted the fact that your his meister or master or what ever to full acess his powers you both have to have a resonace of 100 percent right now your holy about 60 percent synchronized now originally these weapons were designed to slay all of the terrible creatures in this world like kazukis ragnarok was actually originally created 6to slay the kokuyoku but that weapon took a liking to him and they became partners now my suggestion for you and dann is maybe learn more about him if you can and try to completely synchronize and at this rate kazuki hasd less then 0 percent synchronization with ragnarok so he needs alot of work but you beaux your doing pretty well if you need any help then ask but dont be afraid to try to figure it out on your own

Kazuki: god so bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn I'm gonna go for a walk {he jumps over the railing and he lands in the front yard and starts streching *yawn* { he just sits down} damn I'm to damn tired to walk { he lies back in the middle of all the flowers}

Saya: well now that he's gone if you still want to talk I'm willing to listen okay

Raito was sitting on a clif over looking a town. "A town? maybe i can find some work there if not ill have to move to the next town." Raito sighed as he sat up. Raito spread his wings and jumped off the clif and glided down. "much faster then walking." he said when he touched down at the base of the mountain.

"I see, thank you Kyo." Kazuki's not even synchronized at all and I'm at 60 percent and he still did all that to me, great. "I think I'll go try meditating with Dannern. If you need me, well I'm sure you'll figure out a way to contact me." Beaux finished his tea with a single swig and retrieved Dannern before heading out as fast as he could.

He came to a stop several miles away near a large body of water. He put his hand into the crystal clear liquid. "This feels good." He knelt facing the water with both hands submerged. The image of a blue haired middle aged man with a goatee and a scar across his right eye appears in the water facing Beaux. "Dannern?" "Yes." Says a voice from behind Beaux, he slowly turns his head until he sees the man.

"What's going on? You can't take on a human form." "We're inside your head." Beaux looks around at his surroundings they looked the same. "But it looks just like where I just was." "That's because you're focusing on the present. Try thinking about some other time and place." The scene shifts to a doctor's office, although Beaux's hands still appear to be in a body of water. "Strange." Commented Dannern, "I expected something a bit more...intimate." "Wait for it." Dannern raised an eyebrow. "What is a nurse about to come in?" "No, better." Sakura trailed by young Mizuki and Kazuki enter. "Ah, so we're in the past now." "Mostly," Beaux gestures to the water, "now then on to a truer representation of my mind." The office disappears replaced by a gray coastline. The water is black and choppy and a storm can be seen rolling in. Beyond the gray sands and further inland there is white grass.

"Is Mizuki going to be walking through here in a bikini?" "No, she's in the surfboard shop enjoying a shake." Beaux lifts his hands from the black water. "Where's all of the color?" Asked Dannern as he walked until he was ankle deep in the water. "In the surfboard shop." "Why isn't there any out here?" "There's what I want, and then there's all of this." "You have an interesting outlook." "I guess, you know what the storm is?" "Your troubles?" "No, that's what the crabs represent." "What crabs? Ow!" Dannern lifts his foot out of the water to find a crab hanging onto his toe. He yanks it off and tosses it out into the water. "Can we go to the surfboard shop now?" "Not right now. We need to figure out what the storm is." "Why not just wait for it to hit?" "I'd rather get ready now." "Then why not make the surfboard shop more ready to withstand it?" "Not a bad idea."

A building held up by stilts and made of vibrant colors appears next to them. "Wow! That's bright!" "Yes, come on." Beaux and Dannern begin boarding up the windows. Dannern glances in and sees not just Mizuki but all of Beaux's friends. Even Kale and Bella are there, although sitting in recliners and mostly watching the festivities. It looked like it might be a Christmas party. "What's going on in there?" "Like I said, it's what I want." "A party?" "Not exactly." He hammers a nail in. Dannern waited expectantly, but Beaux just kept boarding up the building. "You're strange Beaux." "Tell me something I don't know. Looks like the storm's upon us. Come on, let's get inside." As rain begins to fall in his world Beaux's real body jerks back out of the water and begins seizing with electricity.
-------------------------
Tasha looks out the window in the direction Beaux went, a troubled look on her face. He's changing. Why now? Did he attempt the challenge or did it call on him?
