Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith nodded his head to them. "I have been helping Aki for a very long time. I know of each of you. However up until now I did not see it as necessary for you to know me. You may call me Brian." He said. Using his alias. He looked at Brian and smirked under the ninja mask. He nodded his head. "Yes. Much more." He said simply. He looked at them. "Well I can attest to the properties being blown up. That was the rogues and I. The contents of those properties needed both exterminating and destroying. I made sure we waited until you all were away. I will not apologize for blowing up those properties. There was many things in there that needed destroying. Including a new type of drug Runoteli was developing with Marlo. The drug was a mixture of all other drugs. Highly toxic and on the test subjects he used it on resulted in near instantaneous to instantaneous death." He pulled out a paper and stuck it on the table. "This is a list of his underground contacts. The rogues have informed me that these are willing to be bought but they can not be persuaded by any other means but money." He looked at Aki. "Akihiko while on a whole the rogues do not help other groups they made an exception and took out the scouts and most of the guards. A roguish welcoming committee for you and your friends. I took care of disabling their security and sensors. We have been waiting for you all to make your move for a long time." He looked at the others. "I do not need any of the property nor do I want it. As for Marlo we are tracking him in the underground. We have a feeling he plans to show up eventually. His source of information is a man named Hugo. We are still trying to track this man. What I can tell you is Hugo is an insane sadistic psychopath who is a banished and nearly without magic Djinn." He leaned against the wall. "When we get more information of any kind we will continue to get it to Akihiko." He closed his eyes. "One of the warehouses contained creatures created by gene splicing. The attempts at a perfect human. The perfect soldier. The information that I had found out about these super soldiers indicated that they needed to be destroyed before they were activated. If you have an issue with my blowing up the buildings you can broach it. I will provide you with all the necessary information, documents, and photographs we have reconed." He opened his eyes and fell utterly silent.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Akihiko remained silent. Valentia pipped in before Bryan could speak, "We have no problem with the buildings being blown. It was the source of a potential threat to possibly an ally that made it important."<br/><br/>Bryan opened his mouth, then promptly bent over, hit his head on the table, then fell to the ground holding his shin and head. Groaning in pain. Aki and the heads said nothing.<br/><br/>"Divide things as you four see fit. You know what I want. And trace this Hugo down. The rogues can handle Marlo." Akihiko stood and left with a slight flourish, easily stepping over Bryan yet still looking graceful.<br/><br/>He went to his office and got out some paperwork Reno brought back up for him along wish his confidential boxes.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brivariith listened to Valentia and merely nodded his head. His phone vibrating in his pocket. He ignored it for now. He then followed Akihiko out of the room. He didn't even pay attention to the guy groaning on the ground. He followed Aki to his office. Pulling down the mouth mask and pulled out the manipulator. Answering his phone. "etiam?" (yes?) He listened to whatever was being said and narrowed his eyes. "ubi?" (where?) He listened then hung up after telling the person on the other line he'd be there soon. He looked to Aki. "I need to borrow Reno and Rude. Tamaki also if you can spare him. Something I had being shipped to the port for you was taken hostage. Along with a rogue who works the drug cartels. My rogues are out and I need it to be gotten to you as soon as possible. Once we retrieve it that is." He said. Slipping the voice manipulator back in and pulled up the hood. "It is a gift that took time. I got it for you for your four hundredth celebration but there was a delay in getting it." He hoped Akihiko would not mind loaning him his men. "Also...spend some time with Vince. This is the time period when he gets lonely and withdrawn. After all..." He headed towards the door. "Tomorrow is the anniversary of his parents disappearance. So he told me anyways. If you will loan me your men I'll be outside." He left the office and went outside.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki's eyes widened. He got him a present. Tomorrow is the anniversary for Vince's parents disappearance. 'Shit.' He stood quickly and strode down to the basement. "Reno, Rude, Tamaki. Go with Brian. Do what he says, no questions unless it's against your rules."<br/><br/>He walked over to the couch where Vince was. Vince was asleep. He picked Vince up and took him to his office. He laid Vince down and covered him in a blanket. He grabbed some paperwork off his desk and sat beside the couch near Vince's midsection. He did his paperwork while waiting for Vince to awaken.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian waited outside. When Aki's men came out he pointed to a car that he already had moving. Once everyone was inside they drove off down the road breaking every speeding law there was.<br/><br/>Vince felt warmth slide under his form. Tensing at first when he was touched then relaxed and snuggled into the warmth Aki's chest gave off. He laid on the new couch then curled up around Aki's back when he sat by his middle His mouth without a smile. He slowly shifted and his eyes slowly opened. He looked at Aki and blinked. How did he get in Aki's office. He sat up and looked at Aki. Why was he sitting where his stomach had been. "How did I get up here? Why am I up here?" he asked. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki looked up at Vince and placed his paperwork down. "I brought you up here. They were starting to get noisy downstairs," Which was true, "And I didn't wish for you to wake up that way. You seemed drained after Aspen's inspection so your Angelborn side might have been upset from his energy. It is better to sleep until you wake naturally after such an experience."<br/><br/>Aki turned and placed his left arm on the couch, propping his head up with his left hand. "If you wish to sleep more go ahead. Or if your hungry I'm sure something can be fixed... Also, I wished to spend some time with you." Aki chuckled at sleepy Vince, knowing he probably spoke too much for the just woken up young one.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Vince caught bits and pieces of what Aki was saying. He brought him up here. That the angelborn side had something to do with his energy being depleted rapidly. Then it was gibberish until the very last thing he said which sent him wide awake and staring at him wide eyed. "You....want to...spend time with me?" He echoed. Why? This was a foreign concept. Tilting his head to the side studyingly. "Okay but why me?" He asked curiously. He stretched out and his pony tail was laying at the middle of his hair from the way he had been sleeping. He pulled his hair so it went back up to the top. Looking at Aki. "I"d like to spend some time with you too." He said with a faint blush and a smile. The words coming out shyly. Why did he always blush around this guy? Why did he feel strangely towards him. He didn't understand it and right now wasn't wanting to think about it. "So what do you want to do Aki?" He asked. Stretching out his form then relaxed.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki smirked. "I do want to spend time with you. I find you interesting, cute, and funny. All in a good way of course." He leaned forward and brushed a stray hair from Vince's face with his right hand. "I'm glad you feel the same." His fingers lightly traced Vince's left cheekbone. "Hmm... I didn't think that far ahead I'm afraid. Anything you'd like to ask about me?" Aki's smirk became a small genuine smile as his fingers traced Vince's cheekbone before resting his palm on Vince's cheek.<br/><br/>Reno went "Woot!" when the speed went over a hundred. Then when it was almost two hundred he was howling with laughter. "Yeah! I love this speed."<br/><br/>Rude sighed at his lover's antics. Tamaki facepalmed. 'How did he get stuck with him and become friends with him again?' Tamaki asked himself, internally. Coming to no answer.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian looked at the car and sighed. "I need to get Akihiko so nitro and upgrade some of his cars. This is hardly going fast enough." He said. He looked at Reno for a second. "This speed is nothing compared to some of our nitro cars. This is slow to medium speed with one of the Rogue's nitro cars." He said simply. Taking a sharp turn and kept driving. Taking another sharp turn. "You are a strange strange kid Reno." He said with a chuckle. He hit the brakes and it skidded to a stop as he used this time to drift into the stopping. "Okay everybody out. Rule one is...don't damage the crate. Other than that....no holds back. Rule two...there are no rules other than don't damage the crate." He got out of the car and pulled out some katana's that were made with technology to shoot out much like a lightsaaber except pieces of metal extending out by layers. He waited on them to get out. When the were he took off running. Beginning to slash at the men without mercy.<br/><br/>Vince looked at him. His cheeks turned red as Aki said the second thing. Why did he have to go and say nice things like that. His eyes went wide as Aki's right hand stroked a stray hair out of his face and thus brushed across his cheeks. His cheeks getting a darker red. Going even darker as Aki's hand traced his left cheekbone. Looking at him. "What kind of hobbies do you have? I mean besides painting." He said softly. His cheeks stay a dark red shade as Aki's fingers continued tracing his cheekbone. He on instinct leaned slightly into the palm of the hand resting on his cheek. Looking at Aki curiously. His heart racing just a little bit faster and he didn't understand why. "Why don't we go to the park? Or take a ride to the beach?" He suggested softly. "I like either of those places as they are relaxing." He just looked at Aki and took him in. His eyes filled with curiosity about the guy. He just wasn't sure what to ask him. "Or would you like to see the sculptures I made at my apartment?"
