				Jaiden had started that day the same way she had since she turned 18 two weeks ago, she met up with her co-worker at a cafe every morning around 8:30 to go over the same paperwork.&nbsp; Filled it out and signed it. They chatted about his family and were becoming quite good friends. His name was Percy Evans.&nbsp; He was the same age as she was and the only difference was....He didn't feel the same way she did since his birthday, nor did he feel followed the way she has been.&nbsp; <br><br>It began a few days before her birthday.&nbsp; An odd since of darkness following her.&nbsp; Once it almost felt like it was suffocating her and then it disappeared as her parents came to visit.&nbsp; They had wanted to talk to her about upcoming things to expect but very little of it she didn't already know about.&nbsp; She was more cautious of everyone, a bit less trusting.&nbsp; The only real friend she had was her co worker.&nbsp; She kept busy with work so she could try to drown out the side effects though that was becoming less and less effective and she was trying to fit in.<br><br>Jaiden Anastacia DeTradixia fitting in was impossible.&nbsp; Even now as she sat side by side in a bus heading to the next boring site 8 hours away with Percy you could tell she wasn't like everyone else.&nbsp; She stood 5'6" tall, had black, curly hair that reached her waist, it was lush and vibrant, her eyes were blue as the clouds int the sky, her jaw line distinct and set defiantly, her curves were that of a woman who looked so delicate and fragile that one only wanted to guard her constantly. But that would not be allowed by her.&nbsp; Her features and personality were not alike.<br><br>The bus stopped and the two got off.&nbsp; Jaiden and Percy held small talk as she glanced towards that forest beside the small village they entered.&nbsp; She felt a dark presence there and leaned towards Percy whispering something so no others heard as she readjusted a backpack on her shoulder.&nbsp; <br><br>Percy nodded and they headed left away from the rest of the group that had gotten off the bus.&nbsp; He seemed to know where they were going.&nbsp; They entered a small restaurant and took a table in the back.&nbsp; He was greeted by a little lady who seemed friendly with them both almost like she knew them.&nbsp; Jaiden gave the woman her order and placed her backpack beside her on the booth, almost protectively, while Percy did the same.&nbsp; After a quick glance around they began talking again more comfortably and seemed to be able to relax.

				Kyousuke was finally instructed that the time had come, and the sensation of energy stretching against their limits was painfully similar to have a knife twisted between his ribs. For years he had been drifting through life, cold, distant, simply waiting for his purpose to come closer to fulfillment. But the pain of accepting the strength needed to see his duty through to the end left him floating in a sea of searing white pain.<br><br>For what seemed like weeks he floated on the surface of that pain as the energy burned it's way into his every atom. But what shocked him most was how he woke.<br><br>Standing in front of a restaurant, one of the most unassuming buildings he had ever seen. If it weren't for the pit of acid that was his stomach he would have cursed whatever entity didn't wake him in a pool of cool water with the sun caressing his body. The chill that penetrated his body was countered by huddling his shoulders forward, the hood of his green sweatshirt resting around the back of his neck, as he ducked inside of the restaurant.<br><br>An irresistible tug guided his legs, leading him to a private table where a short girl with lush and curly black hair was talking comfortably with a man he did not recognize. Somehow the fragile appearing girl drew him forward until he was standing above her, his dark blue eyes drilling the unwelcome male presence as his black locks drifted across his eyes.<br><br>From his height of only 5'9 he wasn't the most intimidating figure, even with his jaw clenched and his dark eyes drilling someone sitting down. But when his knuckles went white from digging his bony fingers into Percy's shoulder there was little doubt that he was someone who had no qualms inflicting serious damage to get his way. "Leave." His voice echoed through the small restaurant, every mouth gone silent, and every eye drawn to the developing situation.

				As Jaiden and Percy spoke to one another of things to come in the trip, a gentleman walked into the restaurant straight over to them.&nbsp; He towered above Jaiden, making her look up.&nbsp; She became slightly annoyed for the interruption but gave him a moment thinking maybe he had the wrong table.&nbsp; She continued the conversation.&nbsp; A few seconds later she looked up noting he didn't move and reading his body language and after seeing his eyes and the way they never left Percy's though she could tell this was something else.&nbsp; She glanced around for a way out and found he was blocking her way out of the booth.&nbsp; <br><br>The restaurant got eerily quiet as he demanded Percy to leave and Jaiden stood where she was, Percy looked to her scared and very nervous and she nodded at him, "Go ahead and join the group, I'll be fine.&nbsp; I'll join you in a bit." she glanced at the stranger then at Percy.&nbsp; Her own eyes now held a look of her own fury and curious nervousnes, her eyes seeming to get darker, now the blue of storm clouds.&nbsp; She didn't know what this was, became slightly nervous about who he could be.&nbsp; She stood taller and looked at the stranger.&nbsp; "You had better have better manners in talking to me or you won't get anywhere." She said sharply before sitting back down, folding her arms across her chest and waiting to see what was going to happen.<br><br>Percy looked nervously at Jaiden not wanting to leave her with such a scary person but having no choice.&nbsp; "Ccall me if you nnneed me Jjjjaiden." He studdered.&nbsp; He didn't even make eye contact with Kyousuke, He grabbed his pack and left in such a haste he left his cell phone on the table.

				Kyousuke knew instinctively that intimidating the male wasn't as difficult as he had expected. Too many years of society beating the steel <em>out</em> of men had lead to them being easily bent and molded. He was raised quite different, and would not bend nearly as easily. Letting actions be his voice his fingers slowly let up their pressure, letting the bruised flesh pump blood through the gripped area.<br><br>Not warranting the males presence dangerous enough to pay attention to Kyousuke wasted no time in grasping a chair from a nearby table and spinning it around, so the back of the chair was to the outside of the booth. Sitting down with his legs on either side of the chair the eerily quiet Kyousuke crossed his arms on the booth's table.<br><br>Silence was his only communication as he gauged her, his eyes moving slowly to scan her appearance and engrave it in his mind. But silence is uncomfortable for those that feel fear or agitation, silence wasn't likely.

				Jaiden shook her head, her curls moving easily.&nbsp; "You will owe him an apology later." The restaurant slowly started to return to business.&nbsp; The waitress returned to the table and glowered at the stranger.&nbsp; She smiled at Jaiden, "Everything okay hunny?" She placed two drinks on the table.&nbsp; Jaiden nodded, "Nothing I can't handle Edna.&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp; Percy decided to leave so you can give what he ordered to this guy." Edna nodded "Ok.&nbsp; You let us know if you need anything." She glared at Kyousuke again and walked off.&nbsp; <br><br>Jaiden reached across the table taking the cell phone and putting it in her pack.&nbsp; She sipped her ice water and looked over the stranger.&nbsp; He was quiet.&nbsp; Too damn quiet and she knew the dangers of someone like him, she now had to worry about how to get rid of him.&nbsp; He was probably one of them.&nbsp; She sat back and crossed one of her legs, her eyes met his.&nbsp; Trust wasn't something she did and she didn't trust this guy.&nbsp; He seemed cocky, arogant and decide to invite himself to her table.&nbsp; She knew what she had to do.<br><br>Their food arrived and she smiled and nodded, "Thanks Edna." She picked up her fork and looked at the stranger.&nbsp; "You know when someone decides to invite themselves to someones table, it is polite to introduce themselves." She took a bite of her chicken salad and was sure to keep her eyes on him at all times.&nbsp; She had good reflexes and was going to be sure to use them if need be.<br><br>

				Having been acutely aware of the waitress that came to the table didn't change his demeanor in the slightest. The only thing it changed was when he spoke. Knowing that she would be returning he waited for the waitress to return with their food and leave again before he would begin conversing with the girl.<br><br>"Jaiden, Jaiden Anastacia DeTradixia. You're a disappointment." With a sigh he turned his head to the side, looking to the street through the restaurant's windows. All that time, all that pain, and he was more prepared for the future than she was. If it weren't for her potential, the lingering sense of power that could be clearly felt just beneath the surface there would be little stopping him from introducing her to the sea of white.<br><br>"By the end of the day you will realize how insignificant you are right now." How else could he tell her what would happen, simply knowing his own destiny he was able to find the paths that were open to her. And like most paths there was one way to start and several destinations it could bring you to, and he could only hope she realized that he was right soon enough, because he had only one other way to motivate her.<br><br>But there was still one thing he hadn't told her. "My name is Kyousuke."

				If he was trying to rile her up it didn't work.&nbsp; Something did bother her though.&nbsp; After he said his name she put her fork down and tapped dressing off of her lips.&nbsp; "Well Kyousuke, I have a few problems with what you just said here." She placed her napkin down and kept her eyes on him pulling her backpack close to her.<br><br>She looked at him, "I didn't tell you my name therefore how you know my name is beyond me. I don't like it.&nbsp; As for my insignifigance." She laughed softly.&nbsp; "You have no idea how true that statement is." She stood and leaned over the table staring straight at him.&nbsp; "It doesn't take until the end of the day to know such things.&nbsp; I was born knowing it. My life revolves around it. I would die for such things as it.&nbsp; You should teach that to my family who thinks I need protection. Thinks my life is worth more than others" <br><br>She grabbed her backpack and sighed, "We will finish this conversation in a bit.&nbsp; I have to use the ladies room"&nbsp; She moved past him heading to the ladies room with her pack hanging over her shoulder, it was bothering her that he knew her name and seemed to have a high and mighty air about him.

				Kyousuke could feel Jaiden's eyes on him, but he did not turn his head to return her gaze. His dark blue eyes were much more interested in what was outside of the restaurant. Outside was his prediction, the thing that would make her understand why he called her a disappointment, but she was more interested in distancing herself from him.<br><br><em>They think my life is worth less than yours,</em> He thought as he watched her move out of the booth, moving in front of his eyes. Letting his gaze break he followed her with his eyes as she moved past him, following the subtle movement of her hips. The natural reaction was broken and he focused instead on making her attempt meaningless.<br><br>"It doesn't matter if you leave through the restroom, you will still feel the gaze." He said with a sigh. Honesty was something he instinctively prized, and even without his understanding of their situation it would be a simple thing to predict her train of thought. Women brought purses to their bathroom for makeup, but she didn't care to impress him. No one would let him steal from a frequent customer, and therefor she was taking her backpack because she had no intention of coming back.<br><br>But he wasn't the one that made her skin crawl.

				She stopped for a moment but didn't bother to turn around.&nbsp; Her blue eyes closed for a minute and she sighed;&nbsp; "You don't know any more about me than my own family.&nbsp; Don't waste your breath......Stranger" It was easier distancing herself from people than it was doing the opposite.&nbsp; With that said; she went into the restroom and unlocked another door leading out the back.&nbsp; <br><br>Percy was waiting outside the back door.&nbsp; She smirked and handed him his phone.&nbsp; "You forgot something." He took it.&nbsp; "I didn't like leaving you with him." She shook her head.&nbsp; "It doesn't matter." She cringed feeling them closer "Listen, I have something to do," She reached into her pack pulling out a package and put it in his.&nbsp; "Take the relic and Ill meet you later for it okay.&nbsp; Usual spot. I don't want anything to happen to it.&nbsp; Don't let anyone take that." With a nod he was off and she left in the opposite direction.<br><br>As she moved away from the safety of the restaurant, she started to think about the conversation she had with the one named Kyousuke.&nbsp; It didn't matter how many times she came back here for work something always seemed to catch her off guard.&nbsp; She groaned and looked around, she had to get away from those she knew for a bit, keep them safe.&nbsp; Even from her.<br><br>

				"... she didn't pay." Sighing he turned his head back to the food she had left on the table. Rolling his eyes he pushed himself back and tucked his hands into the sweatshirts pocket and left the restaurant, much to the dismay of the waitress who had&nbsp; been looking to him for pay. Ignoring the shouts that followed him out of the restaurant he merely turned and walked down the sidewalk.<br><br>Somewhere in the back of his mind he was acutely aware that he would be made to regret leaving her to her own plans, but it hardly mattered. After the white there was little they could do to him that he would bat an eye at. A lesson needed to be taught, and within moments of speaking to her he was fully aware that stepping forward and introducing himself as her guardian would have accomplished nothing.<br><br>But what scars would she gain from being stubborn?

				She was going to piggy back and walk behind the village to where she was staying, make sure that the guy Kyousuke didn't follow her.&nbsp; Though the presence she felt wasn't him right now.&nbsp; She adjusted her back pack and stayed alert.&nbsp; No sooner did she scan around did a tall gruesome man step out in front of her.&nbsp; She halted.&nbsp; Her eyes met his and she instantly recognized the gruesome red of his eyes.&nbsp; "Brydos" She whispered and took a step back only to walk into that of another who simply grabbed her throat suddenly.<br><br>The one in front of her laughed and sniffed the air, he smiled in such a disgusting way, "Ancient" he said. The one holding her let her go and they walked in a cirlce around her "She hasn't awoken yet." they both chanted.&nbsp; She let the bag drop enough that she caught the strap in her hand.&nbsp; <em>two against one; I am in deep shit</em> thats when she saw the gap and lunged through it heading straight into the forest. Most wouldn't but she felt safest there.&nbsp; She threw her bag up, it caught on a limb and she kept running.<br><br>She underestimated them and found herself slammed against a tree as a foot came out and hit her in the chest.&nbsp; She grunted and brought herself back to her feet.&nbsp; When his fist came towards her face he was laughing and she threw her arms up in front of her face.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was no good.&nbsp; He hit them and they hit her face.&nbsp; She wiped the blood from her lip but stayed crouched down catching her breath.&nbsp; This was going to be harder than she thought, before she only had to fight one,now there was two.

				Adrenaline spiked in his system, making his hammer at his ribcage. Cursing he stumbled to one side and ended up ramming his shoulder into a brick building. <em>My common sense is tingling.</em> He thought as he grimaced through the initial spike, not prepared for the sudden intensity. Of course there was only one reason for such a thing, common sense told him the first time it hit him.<br><br><em>Couldn't wait for me to be sitting down before they tried to kill her.</em> Grumbling he pushed himself off the building and pulled his arms out of his pockets, rolled his neck around his shoulders, turned around, and leaned into a dead run. As his feet pounded against the sidewalk he was aware of himself slipping to one side each time an obstacle threatened to block his path, but not the conscious decision to avoid them.<br><br>Fairly certain he didn't like giving that much control of his body for someone else Kyousuke jumped to his forward-left, kicked off a street fight, and found himself defying gravity for a split second as he looked down on the restaurant's roof. On his way down he prepared himself and tucked into a single roll&nbsp; before jumping down to the street bellow to repeat the process.<br><br>The smell of them alone would guide him the rest of the way.

				She felt more than saw another fist coming down at her, stunned as she might be still she dodged out of the way.&nbsp; Suddenly the second one was behind her yanking her arms back, though she was trying not to it caused her to cry out.&nbsp; There was no way she would let them win.&nbsp; <br><br>The other one came up in front of her and teased her with a knife.&nbsp; She spat in its face.&nbsp; "I am no good to you now.&nbsp; Not until my abilities awaken." Even in the grips of the enemy a look of pure determination was on her face.&nbsp; Her eyes, bluer than those of a storm cloud glared into the blood red eyes of the byrdos staring at her with a grin waving a knife before her face.<br><br>He growled, "They will in time, we can smell them." With a simple momement he was in front of her, his face beside hers, she felt the pain of the knife in her abdomen then it being removed.&nbsp; She could tell it hadn't gone in very deep at all yet there was a dizzying effect already.&nbsp; They byrdo's laughed and leaned up whispering something in her ear.&nbsp; She was now fighting for consciousness to stay, "They will know when i don't return, they will send someone!" He laughed, "You'll be dead by then!"&nbsp; She shook her head, "It won't be awakening that soon."

				Kyousuke was running across the street, knowing that he was headed for the woods because he could already see the girl's backpack swinging from a branch in the distance, when the second spike of adrenaline spiked into him. Still it caught him off balance. Stumbling forward and slowed the sound of a trucks horn deafened all other sound.<br><br>Quickly he stuck out his right hand, slapping into the pavement and then pushing himself back up. The asphalt tore at his skin but went ignored as he regained his pace and continued to run forward. No energy was being lost during this run, it felt like he just kept gaining more energy, and more urgency. Something just increased the intensity of his pull toward the Jaiden, but what he intended to do about it when he caught up to was unknown.<br><br>The sound of their laughter and taunting reached him, the tug of instinct lessened it's pull as he fought against being forced into the situation. After digging in his heels he forced his body to recognize his command, and successfully hid himself behind the thick trunk of a nearby tree, allowing him to listen while he gathered energy into his right palm.

				She felt consciousness was close to slipping her.&nbsp; Which only proved one thing, the knife he cut her with was only to poison her and wound her enough to keep her immobile.&nbsp; "Are all you Byrdo's this stupid or just the ones that come after me?" The one holding her let her go thinking her unable to move.&nbsp; She was weakened but not unable to move.&nbsp; "Until they have confirmation of my death they are going to send another stupid watchman.&nbsp; You may have killed the last but don't think you will always get so lucky."<br><br>Jaiden pushed herself to her feet using the tree for support, her hand was over a wound on her stomach that was bleeding through. She looked at them, hate giving her enough strength to ignore the pain that was wracking her body.&nbsp; "I won't watch you kill another.&nbsp; My life is not worth it, so if you are going to kill me." She dropped to her knees, the poison working against her strength and willpower she couldn't hold out much longer.&nbsp; "Know i plan I taking you with me........." she passed out and they both laughed.&nbsp; "She should be out for awhile.&nbsp; Tough chick eh!" The first one laughed and picked her up slinging her over his shoulder, "It'll be more fun killing her when the time comes, the longer she holds out the more pain we get to see.&nbsp; Poison should finish running its course in a couple hours.&nbsp; She'll be miserable when she wakes lets go."

				Having gained a deeper awareness of the girl, truthfully more than he may have cared to know so soon after meeting her, he found himself unable to sit aside and let her learn a lesson. She had already learned one, and the problem was suddenly vastly different than he had originally suspected.<br><br>Without hesitation, moments before the woman lost full consciousness, he was rounding the tree and dashing toward the Byrdo. His right hand squeezed down on the energy and it shot out into a thin foot long blade of crackling light. Moving his right arm across his body he ducked low, his pants swishing through the grash moments before leaped forward while slashing the tendons of the first Brydo.<br><br>In the same movement he drew the blade up and to the right, the blood that would have drenched a metal blade turned into black smoke training behind the blade as he opened his legs to wrap around the back of the second brute. Moments before the leg lock was complete the right hand had slammed into the base of the Byrdo's skull, distinctly feeling the energy burning it's way through it's teeth. <br><br>Kyousuke rode the beast to the ground and then turned, unconcerned with the weight that would temporarily be left on the girl as he turned on the hamstrung enemy. "Greetings to you, loathsome thing. I have a most important task for you." Crouching down in front of the beast Kyousuke tilted his head to the side, a feint and almost friend smile slide across his lips. "My predecessor was unprepared, much like the girl. Protect your pride to protect your life." Patting the things head was the last communication he had in the woods.<br><br>After brutally slamming his foot into the ribs of the very dead other, spinning it completely off the drugged girl, Kyousuke slid his arms under her and held her close to his chest. The shallow cut was easy to inspect as he walked out of the woods, it was little more than flesh wound, the bleeding ceased simply by placing a bandage over once he had her back to her home and on her own couch.

				A key could be heard in the back door of her home and the kitchen light came on.&nbsp; A heavy backpack dropped onto her table.&nbsp; Whomever was in the kitchen didn't know someone was there.&nbsp; It was none other than Percy.&nbsp; He slid the paperwork for the villages relics out and placed them out on the table.&nbsp; Taking out his cell phone he placed a call to her cell phone.&nbsp; Luckily the thing was on vibrate in her pants pockets.&nbsp; He left a message saying he was going to head back early&nbsp; in the am that the boss figured she could handle the team on her own and he would leave the relic with Edna, she agreed to put it in her safe.&nbsp; After a laugh he added, she says she was sorry you didn't get to finish your meal but not to worry neither did your guest.&nbsp; He wished her safe and told her to watch out because the stranger was still around then hung up.&nbsp; He picked up the back pack, put the key on the table and left.<br><br>About four hours into the night Jaiden started to come to.&nbsp; Not so coherently at first and still believing she was in the hands of the enemy.&nbsp; She for the moment kept her eyes closed though her hands slowly did come up to where she was cut.&nbsp; Okay, confusion hit then. Byrdo wouldn't bandage they enjoyed torture and blood.&nbsp; She opened her eyes slowly just then.

				Kyousuke had been in the home for nearly an hour, having rested the girl gently onto her crouch with a bandage over her wound, the sound of a key in the lock caught his attention. Quietly he crept into the nearby room and opened the door just a crack, letting him look in to see whatever it was on the other side of the door.<br><br>What he found wasn't expected, it was just the man he had chased off only an hour or two earlier, leaving a message on the table and left. Relaxing himself slightly he closed the door and went back to the living room, taking seating himself in a chair nearby to watch over the girl. She was weak, far too weak, but her defiance had impressed him.<br><br>For hours he watched over her, his mind drifting away, not actually seeing the girl as he sat and watched over the entire apartment. Every sound in the home was being picked up, in a fully aware trance like state as he rested himself. Late in the night Jaiden began to stir, and he withdrew back to himself as the pace of her breathing increased.<br><br>Kyousuke got up from his seat and walked to the couch, where he casually sat down himself down next to her hips. Leaning forward he placed a hand over her chest, waiting for her to either open her eyes and attempt to jerk upright. It was the traditional stunned awakening, but he didn't want her to undo the healing process that took hours to occur in a single foolish moment and intended to keep her from sitting up until she could do so slowly.

				Jaiden didn't feel any pain when she woke in fact she felt fine.&nbsp; Despite the fact that those monsters hurt her pride and she worried her friend's life might be in danger she came out barely injured.&nbsp; Ok, so she was fooling herself, her chest hurt a bit from the kick and she knew there was definately going to be a nice cut on her lip but those were easy to ignore.&nbsp; Her frame may have looked fragile but her determination far outweighed it.<br><br>Her entire body froze when she sensed someone in the room.&nbsp; She should of known it wasn't going to be so easy as walking away from those brutal morons.&nbsp; Not after what they did to the last person.&nbsp; She didn't want to think about that.&nbsp; She had to get out of this first.<br><br>When he sat down next to her adrenaline suddenly kicked into her in high.&nbsp; Once his hand went over her chest her basic training registered.&nbsp; Her eyes flew open and her hands immediately went around his wrist.&nbsp; She turned her hips on her side away from him and bucked forward planning on throwing him away from her on the floor.&nbsp; She wasn't one who went down without a fight.&nbsp; Still a bit disoriented and in the dark she didn't see who her assailant was but let go of his wrist with one hand to reach down to her boot knife about to yank it out.

				There wasn't much that the average eye could see about the source of movement, the many muscles that tensed and contracted before the body actually moved. With the combat training and power in him it was hard to get his reaction to be perfect, but he at least managed to stop the twisting of her hips before she could open her wound.<br><br>But with his worry being more toward her comfort rather than his own Kyousuke hadn't been paying attention to her arm as it wouldn't be an issue. He may have thought more of her other movements if he had been aware of weapons on her person. Luckily for him he had a fairly sure fire way to stop her from trashing around any more.<br><br>"Cut it out, you'll open your wound and I'm not bandaging you twice."

				She already had the blade drawn and was bringing it up to stab the person who had her but stopped when she heard his voice.&nbsp; He stopped her from being able to twist her hips, she thought he was going in for pinning her to disable her but once he spoke she recognized the voice immediately and sheathed the knife hoping he didn't see it.&nbsp; <br><br>"You. From the diner? You bandaged my wounds?&nbsp; Got me away from those guys?" <br><br>She laid back and relaxed for the moment. Slight pain shot through her body but more from the rush than from movements as he had stopped her.&nbsp; She sighed.&nbsp; Her eyes had not left the figure, now she was trying to add it all up.&nbsp; Was he with the Brydos?&nbsp; If he was it didn't make sense that he bandanged her. As her head hit the couch arm behind her she could make out more of him now.&nbsp; She was much calmer.&nbsp; But still cautious of him.&nbsp; <br><br>"Would you like to explain how the hell you got me away from those monsters without them killing you?" Her voice was more hushed now as she glanced around finding her surroundings familiar.&nbsp;

				As she had hoped he never was fully aware of what she was doing. He knew she was trying to move, but he didn't know that she was trying to pull a knife on him, or that she succeeded. Instead he was waiting for her to get her questions out and then gave her silence, she would work it all out if he gave her enough time.<br><br>Kyousuke removed his hand from her hip and chest, his movements had been firm but had clearly caused only some minor discomfort that she didn't complain about. Resting his hands in his pockets he stood and turned, sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees.<br><br>"I walked." Without bothering to explain further he closed his eyes and shifted his shoulders forward, ducking his head, so the hood would fall over him, letting the body heat that radiated up his collar linger around his head. He needed the heat, after so long he instinctively craved it. "You're lighter than I expected. And warmer." His deep voice also lowered, a whisper meant to convey that he was thinking more intimately and didn't intend to speak aloud.

				She felt some relief when he removed his hands from her hip and chest.&nbsp; A slight sigh escaped her lips.&nbsp; She closed her eyes for a few moments.&nbsp; A slight wave of dizziness took over her as he stood.&nbsp; When he sat on the coffee table she opened her eyes and slowly sat up.&nbsp; Careful not to open her wound.&nbsp; <br><br>She heard him say he walked and raised a brow.&nbsp; Then that she was lighter and warmer.&nbsp; He carried her!

Her eyes would flash a touch of anger. He must have gotten her away from the Brydos.&nbsp; The only way she could think of.&nbsp; The next words out of her mouth were not spoken so nicely, in fact they seethed out of her mouth like acid, "You are a protector aren't you!&nbsp; Sent her to protect me until I awaken.&nbsp; Then you have orders from there don't you!"

				Kyousuke rested once he was in the comfortable hunched over position, the warmth he generated keeping him sufficiently happy as her mind slowly woke up. <em>She should thank me, but she won't once she realizes who I am.</em> He thought to himself with a mental shrug. It was one of the few things they had told him before the white.<br><br>Unlike most he found the silence comforting, soothing, and then shattered by seething anger. Looked up slowly he met her gaze evenly, unfazed by her anger. "Were you expecting me to deny it?" He asked while leaning back, with his left arm moving behind the coffee table, looking as though he was grabbing something.<br><br>When he leaned forward again he was holding a pale blue bucket in front of her and motioned for her to take it. "You're going to throw up," He told her without any hint of amusement or pleasure at the fact he was stating. The poison the beasts had been talking about were meant to make her miserable, and he suspected that meant she was not only going to lose what little of the lunch she ate, but also headaches and body pains.

				"No...No I don't suppose you deny it.&nbsp; I am not pissed at you I am more pissed at them."&nbsp; The last one they sent her was weak and killed right before her.&nbsp; His gaze just about rattled her but not in the way of fear or anger, in the way of something more.&nbsp; The way she could of stared into his eyes for hours.&nbsp; She blinked and sat back pushing that thought away.&nbsp; Woooow.&nbsp; Poison. <br><br>He reached for something and at that moment her stomach heaved but she managed to hold back whatever was going to happen.

				Kyousuke was surprised she actually admitted that she wasn't angry with him, a reasonable woman wasn't something he was prepared for. He had expected her to hold her past against him until there was no doubt left in her mind that he didn't resemble the rest of his fold. But, well, it was hard to be grateful when he were aware the person was about to hurl their guts out moments later.<br><br>"I suspected you were," He nodded as she left the room, nearly making it to the bathroom before he heard her. Shaking his head Kyousuke went to the kitchen and found a mixing bowl and tucked it under his arm as he went to the sink. Grabbing a washcloth he soaked a washcloth and wrung it out before heading to the hall where he found the poor girl practically curled around the bucket.<br><br>Bending down he placed the bowl next to her head and placed the cloth in her hand. Without asking her any questions, as he expected that would have no desirable effects, he lifted up the bucket and closed off his lungs. He had a strong stomach, but risking both of them being sick wasn't something he intended to do. After cleaning out the bucket he walked the long way to the living room and placed it down near the couch.<br><br>Kyousuke then had a simple thing to do, which would likely earn him more of her acid tongue. Backin the wall crouched down and put a hand on the back of her thighs and under her side, pulling her from the ground to rest upright against his chest as he stood and went back to the livingroom where he would carefully lay her down on her side.

				When he took the bucket and left a washcloth she was going to argue he needn't worry about it that it was her mess but she knew if she opened her mouth she would do nothing but make herself sick.&nbsp; She simply took the opportunity to clean up with the washcloth grateful her hair somehow stayed out of the way.<br><br>Her body spasmed and she grimaced and groaned, that actually hurt her prior wounds more than anything else at the moment.&nbsp; She pretty much was emptied out and cleaned up when he returned.&nbsp; Though she also seemed half asleep when he picked her up.&nbsp; <br><br>When he picked her up she was about to protest she could walk, she was about to throw a fit but when her head was against his chest and her arm wrapped around him she sighed, this was actually comforting.&nbsp; Her head hurt, her body ached, she pulled the wound open again when she had gotten sick, though she didn't feel that.&nbsp; In the short trip back to the couch she managed to curl against Kyousuke and fall asleep.&nbsp; When she felt him about to put her on the couch she roused enough just to whisper "Don't"

				The plan had been fairly simple, something for her to use to clean up, a place for her to get sick again if she needed too. But instead of finishing his plan with laying her down on the couch he heard her whisper for him not too. Raising his brow he looked down at the girl and noticed that she was actually asleep.<br><br><em>... Didn't she hate me minutes ago?</em><br><br>Confusion settled in but he was never one to let that cripple him, or distract him, he carefully sat own against the arm of the couch, letting the girl stay curled against him. <em>I'm supposed to be her shield and instead I find myself nursing her first wounds that I should have prevented.</em> A pain twisted in his gut, and he refused to let himself rationalize the pain away.

				It was difficult to gain comfort, he had never attempted to have something on his lap and against his chest for hours. What was comfortable didn't end up mattering, he ignored his own comfort an simply focused on the warmth that her presence provided, including the warmth on his neck as she had somehow positioned herself with her face resting against the crook of his neck.<br><br>For the whole night he barely moved beyond his constant and level breathing, and he hoped only that she would wake up before he became to stiff to move easily come morning. He didn't know it would be that much of an issue until the back door opened, and he was left with little choice but to stay still an silent, closing his eyes to appear at sleep while he waited for the intruder to come within range of a lethal blow.

				Pretending to be incompetent was a skill many women claimed their husbands mastered instinctively, but for Kyousuke it was hardly simple. He could barely contain his urge to slash the beasts throat only because it assumed he wasn't a protector. Spending years in training, accepting the white, an finding himself in a position where he could readily endeer his charge to him and a simpleton was insulting him.<br><br>But other than his pulse raising by fifty beats he had not so much as twitched. But the Byrdo had gotten closer than it should an Jaiden stiffened against him, Kyousuke could feel her delicate fingers tightening his shirt. The beast was about to squeal it's surprise at seeing her awake, but Kyousuke reacted a split second before. <br><br>With a blinding speed he raised his hand. His fingers were open in a martial arts technique, grabbing like claws into the flesh of it's throat and squeezed so deeply he had sunk his fingers behind it's larynx. Increasing the pressure in a sudden brutal move he closed his fingers into a fist, rendering the beast unable to breath for the remainder of it's very short life.<br><br>"You need to learn to wake much more subtly," He said with a sigh as he pushed up, watching the beast flop over the back of the couch to thrash out of view, clawing at it's crushed throat.

She would not admit it to him but he just made her feel quite a bit more safe than she had in years.&nbsp; She glanced in the direction it fell then at him.&nbsp; "He's not alone." <br><br>She listened and waited, recognizing him to be going through her bedroom.&nbsp; "Perv." She whispered.&nbsp; She slid off his lap carefully and crouched against the couch.&nbsp; That was when her eyes spotted her pack.&nbsp; She was more than happy to see that thing.&nbsp; It carried the few items she owned that were precious and the two relics she found.&nbsp; She glanced towards the other side of the house where the bedroom was and then reached out looking in the bag.&nbsp; She saw the relic was still there.&nbsp; She closed the pack and sighed.&nbsp; With a glance over her shoulder she nodded towards him, "You'll know what to do when he comes out apparently.&nbsp; Just hide for the moment.&nbsp; I'll be the distraction."&nbsp; She stood slinging her pack over her shoulder and kicking the coffee table over causing it to land on the almost completely dead beast, her eyes met his with a thankful smile before she took off towards the kitchen making it out the back door before the more experienced Byrdo came storming out.&nbsp; "Oh no you don't!"&nbsp; He had a picture of her with Percy in his hand and was making way though the livingroom, he couldn't see his comrads face thanks to the table all he could see was him lying on the ground, "Get off your ass and get her boyfriend, Ill take care of the little darling and teach her a lesson!"

				A compliment, that may be true but it still wasn't all that useful when it came right down to it. Just a few more seconds and he could have waited for the other to come back, or killed the thing a bit cleaner which he would have preferred. Having his hand covered in the putrid blood of the byrdo wasn't something he enjoyed.<br><br>Shrugging he helped her slide off his lap, and watched as she crouched next to the couch. Rolling his neck he stretched his boy as straight as he could, hoping to get all the kinks out an make his muscles loosen up. "If you insist, just avoid the knife this time." He muttered, putting his knee down on the couch, while the the other stayed on the couch, letting him behind forward and hide himself on the couch like he was asleep again but with the ability to move quickly if needed.<br><br>Acting exactly as needed he stayed silent until the Byrdo would be looking back at the girl before slipping off the couch and moving behind it, and smashed a lamp. This gave off the impression of a struggle, as well as a few quick jerks and shuffling, but that was because Kyousuke had stripped the wire and jammed it between the Brydo's teeth.<br><br>With the Brydo thrashing around there wasn't anything to keep him from leaving the room and walking down the long hallway to get behind the more experienced beast, who had likely cornered Jaiden. His preferred method of dispatching a foe, never giving them the opportunity to even know they are in danger until something is sticking through them, much like the kitchen knife he wrapped in a minute amount of energy to pierce the spinal column.

				"Don't worry, only blade I plan on getting near is mine!" Jaiden wasn't all that trained in every method of combat but managed to do what she needed to live as long as she did in the first place.&nbsp; That and she did have enough training with knives to protect her.&nbsp; She still hadn't decided how she was going to deal with Kyousuke being sent here to protect her.&nbsp; She didn't have time to think about that right now.&nbsp; First she had to get the back pack which to the naked eye you could tell she was protecting to a safety spot.&nbsp; And the Byrdo actually managed to chase her out a window.&nbsp; They made it through the window and were in the yard now but this one was much more different that the others she death with.&nbsp; <br><br>He slammed her against the paneling in the house ripping the front of her shirt exposing enough that you could see a small sheath inside her exposed black laced bra.&nbsp; The Byrdo's laughed.&nbsp; He had a knee pressed to her thighs holding her hard against the house at the moment, "Very nice Jaiden. Quite a place for a cute little knife." he grabbed the knife holster and all throwing it away from them.&nbsp; She shrugged. "Its for little peckers with bad breath." Her eyes glared up at him.&nbsp; He threw her to the ground which she had been waiting for.&nbsp; She looked vulnerable but what he didn't see was her hand slipped the dagger from her boot,&nbsp; and the experienced Byrdos stormed over towering over her in a crouch.&nbsp; "I think I am going to teach this little mouth bitch a lesson then take you back to my master until you waken when well finally be able to kill you."<br><br>She adjusted the handle in her hand, "Your forgetting my friend and the fact that I won't let you any closer to me without manners and a damn toothbrush.&nbsp; Jeez what the hell do you guys eat.&nbsp; Garbage!" With that last statement, She slashed upwards with the dagger, cutting his leg wide open and scurrying away from him.&nbsp; The Byrdo's was hurt now but that just fed its anger. As he tried to stand.

				Kyousuke looked through the kitchen in a single pass of his eyes and noted very clearly that the Byrdo had bludgeoned it's way through the window to the outside. Knowing what that would mean he ran forward, holding the knife away from his body as he jumped, pulling his knees to his chest as he went through the hole broken wood and glass that was once a window.<br><br>While he caught up they had been running off a bit, an somehow had ended up on the ground, things about to become quite ugly for Jaiden. Quickening his steps he ran straight at the Brydo's face, the knife held tightly in his hand. The Brydo was cut as he came closer, but it only made him a larger target as it had reared up and was trying to keep standing. The longer it was standing the more open a target it became.<br><br>With the moment of his dash and the strength of his arm Kyousuke threw his arm forward and released the knife. The sound of it spinning through the air was amplified by the energy that was sending sparks of white light in every direction until the hilt of the blade thumped into the beasts chest, a millisecond after the blade sank into it.

				Kyousuke was surprised by how weak the beasts were, even with his training. It was almost disappointing that the small application of strength and metal could dispatch a beast so much larger and nastier than himself. Years of nightmares as a child and one of his nightmares was killed just by that, it was almost like he was in a dream.<br><br>But no dream had ever been nearly pleasant, none had entertained adolescent thoughts, they were wrapped up in darkness and death. If he was dreaming he wouldn't be staring at the dark haired girl with beautiful eyes and a figure that was partially exposed to him as she fought for control over a force he couldn't see or fully understand in the amount of time he was exposed to it.<br><br>As her eyes faded to their normal blue she quickly covered her chest, hiding herself from him. Immature disappointment flooded him as he had never felt before, the longing to see the same and more ebbing through his body in some unsubtle ways. Frowning he glanced to the side and wiped the putrid on the ground, intending to go inside and scrub the blood away with water.<br><br>"I only know this place, you've marked it as your home. Do you know another place?"

				She smiled slightly though it didn't quite meet her eyes, instead her eyes looked weary, cautious.&nbsp; "Sorry you misunderstood.&nbsp; I didn't mean us as in you and I.&nbsp; I meant us as in something in my bag.&nbsp; I have to get it somewhere safe.&nbsp; Pack it in another backpack and store it where they can't get there hands on it. In my hands...ok..on my neck once I awaken.........if I awaken, it can be a great weapon and shield of protection."<br><br>Her arm dropped as she used it to prop herself up on the house.&nbsp; Refusing to let herself even seem weak.&nbsp; Now when she fought it down it seemed to drain her as it drew away.&nbsp; She threw her mind on something else.&nbsp; "If they get there hands on what I found.&nbsp; When I awaken they could get complete control of me, gain my power and kill me.&nbsp; Its a long ritual but I wouldn't put it past them.&nbsp; Especially since right now they are sending out all their babies to try and snag me.&nbsp; They are testing us.&nbsp; Trying to see how strong we really are.&nbsp; Or if I have another Protector or not." She had grown slightly pale but in the new sunlight there was a special glow to here skin, it shimmered beneath the sunlight.<br><br>She had her back against the house now, her head rested against the paneling, arms dangling, eyes closed.&nbsp; "I know this cave where those things won't go because its protected ground.&nbsp; They won't enter most spiritual ground.&nbsp; We can hide it there.&nbsp; I do have a vehicle but I am not sure what your going to think of it." another smile spread across her lips.&nbsp; "Requires the use of a helmet."

				Momentarily confused he tilted his head forward and walked closer, curious. Soon after he found that she was hiding something, something in the backpack that had quite some importance. But why wouldn't she simply tell him, explain it simply by telling him seemed to be the most expedient path. Instead he had to be left in the dark to find out himself, and he had no resources.<br><br>Once he was closer she dropped her arm as she started to tip to the side, and used it to keep herself standing straight. Despite her attempts to hide her weakness it became readily apparent to him that that she was physically drained, although he didn't fully understand what had drained her. But he could see that whatever the reason left a subtle change in her, first the eyes, an then the feint shimmering under the sunlight.<br><br>"I have a thick skull," He was half joking, as he had become more resistant to everyday injuries, but smashing his skull on pavement at sixty miles an hour would still do some serious damage. "We can go later." Kyousuke had come in front of her and with knowledge only from movies and instinct he subtly pressed a knee between her legs as she stood with her back resting against the house.<br><br>Moving his hands out to hers he lightly gripped her wrists, and would lift them above her head, where he would cross them and use a single hand to hold her arms above her head. Silently he leaned forward and titled his head, kissing her as his other hand shifted through the cut on her shirt so his hand could massage her breast through her lacy bra.

				"Yeah, I think I should just chill for a bit" She was fading slightly when she felt his knee pressed between her legs.&nbsp; She felt the power come right back up to the surface again. Fighting it down she did nothing until he held her wrists crossed above her head and kissed her.&nbsp; Her eyes opened, widened slightly as he put his hand beneath the shirt and began messaging.<br><br>It took but mere seconds and her lips responded to his.&nbsp; Soft, tender, sensual kiss back, her eyes closing as she gave no resistance at first.&nbsp; She felt the power of her blood line again, felt how badly it wanted to come out.&nbsp; Felt the incredible aura it fed off.&nbsp; Then there was Kyo, his lips soft, seductive, his kiss perfect.&nbsp; The way he held her against the wall, held the possessive note she yearned for since she was old enough to day dream about falling love about making love.<br><br>As his fingers played over the delicate material her bud perked beneath inviting him to it.&nbsp; She opened her eyes and they were glowing an irredescent blue as she looked into his eye, his face.&nbsp; The one who nursed her through the night.&nbsp; Protected her not once but twice and lived.&nbsp; She felt something there with him.&nbsp; Felt something strong.&nbsp; <br><br>Then she started to think.&nbsp; That was her greatest enemy.&nbsp; She thought to much and didn't feel enough.&nbsp; Him being her protector, him being with her, it was all dangerous enough. He was a powerful fighter, barely broke a sweat but did she dare get close to him, could he possibly allow her close to him.&nbsp; Her lips paused for a moment.&nbsp; Her power seemed to growl at her in pure protest.&nbsp; "Kyo" She whispered, her eyes on him and for the first time in a while with a look of compassion in her eyes.&nbsp; Was he sure he wanted to do this with her?&nbsp; It could get him killed and more.&nbsp; She would have more blood on her hands.<br><br>

				Kyousuke let his eyes stay open just slightly, a serene sense of contentment clear in his eyes as he watched her look back at him. Something inside her had flared when he made such an aggressive move, but instead of resisting him he could soon feel her lips responding to him. The tender sensual kiss that was returned to him made his eyes drift closed as he held her possessively against the wall.<br><br>Kyousuke became aware quickly that she stopped kissing him in return, and he moved back just enough that his heated breath lightly caressed her lips. Opening his eyes to read her expression he was met with a iridescent blue, questioning eyes that seemed to be filled with more emotion than he had ever seen from her before. But the thing he could see and feel clearly, masked by fear and guild, was her pleading with him.<br><br>"Put aside your fear," Kyousuke spoke with a firm, commanding, tone as he let his lips linger a breath away from her lips.<br><br>With his palm pressing over the lacy bra he could faintly feel the thin material shifting, letting him feel that her bu was perking to his touch. Unsure how far he should go without speaking with her, and while being outside where they were likely to be seen by neighbors, he did not attempt to shift his hand under her bra. Instead he simply squeezed her soft breast a little less tenderly, moving her whole breast in a slow circle while.

				The irridescent blue of her eyes seemed to glow with anticipation and need.&nbsp; Compassion was still there as well as something deep down that told of what she has seen and been through, feelings she wasn't use to revealing to others.&nbsp; She blinked her head leaning forward just slightly, their lips nt touching quite yet.&nbsp; She could feel, taste his breath.&nbsp; They did not break eye contact.&nbsp; He apparently learned something important with her.&nbsp; To keep her from getting shaken the best was was to keep eye contact.&nbsp; She heard what he told her to do with her fear.&nbsp; Let herself ease slightly.&nbsp; "would you do the same." <br><br>Jaiden had never just pushed something aside as he was commanding her to do so before.&nbsp; She feared he did not understad what would would could happen if they kept going.&nbsp; She wanted to, her body begged her to as her power steadily vibrated beneath the surface.&nbsp; She kept her eyes locked on his and with a final sigh of surrender let her lips fall upon his once again.&nbsp; Messaging his lips with her soft lips, her tongue slipping into his mouth to dance with his.&nbsp; A sea of sensations flooding her as he squeezed her breast.,&nbsp; The slightlest gasp escaping her lips.&nbsp; Yes, they were eventually going to have ot take this in the home.

				Kyousuke nodded without hesitation when she briefly asked if he would do the same. He did, frequently, otherwise he wouldn't be able to function. It was how he dealt with any of his most pressing fears and feelings, and looking into her iridescent eyes he could somehow feel her trying to do what he commanded of her. <em>It can be done, push them aside, focus on me alone. Push everything else aside...</em> Convinced she could do as he commanded he waited patiently, watching the internal struggle.<br><br>Feeling her lips meet his again he sighed faintly into her lips, more than pleased with the outcome of her internal struggle. Opening his lips to her he made his tongue shift deftly against hers, their lips shifting as he fondled her breast, unsure of how much an affect he was having on her until he heard her gasp. Smiling briefly he gave her breast a firmer squeeze, pressing his body against hers briefly, allowing her to feel how his body expressed his need for her as he made the kiss all the more passionate and demanding.<br><br>With his lips open he leaned back slowly, a thin trail of connecting them for a moment before a puff of air left his lungs. "We're going inside," He told her with a reassuring smile, releasing her beast and wrists so he could shift his arm around her waist to pull her away from the wall. Tucking her against his side he lead her around the house, walking at a calm comfortable pace, intending to lead her to her bedroom, where the carnage would be out of sight an out of mind.

				She never had given him the chance before this, thought he was no different than the other protector yet unlike the other one she was actually attracted to this one, and her power was as well.&nbsp; This was something quite extrodinary for her, she didn't want to believe in any of the awakenings ritualistic feelings or ways.&nbsp; Now she may not be able to deny the truth behind it.<br><br>When Kyousuke preseed his body against hers and kissed hers she couldn't help but to feel how right it felt to have him there.&nbsp; Felt her body caling out to his as she responded by the softest pressing against his body.&nbsp; How perfect their bodies fit together like pieces in a puzzle.&nbsp; The kiss becoming so very intense, she returned the passionate caress and kiss with her own passionate kiss, one that foretold of her want, of her need for him.&nbsp; She didn't allow herself to think any longer but to feel this.&nbsp; To feel him and every touch he made, movement, sound, breath he took.&nbsp; It just felt......perfect. <br><br>When he leaned back she almost leaned forward.&nbsp; Hearing why though she nodded, it was probably a good idea.&nbsp; She smiled back, it was genuine.&nbsp; A touch easier to pull back the power that so hungerly wanted her to finish what she started with him.&nbsp; As his arm went around her waist and he pulled her close to him she just then had remembered why she was leaning so heavily there before.&nbsp; The moment their gaze had met she had forgotten how weak she grew from fighting letting her power awaken.&nbsp; She placed a soft kiss on the side of his neck as they walked, "Good Idea." She said softly.&nbsp;

				Kyousuke closed his left eye as he felt her kiss the side of his neck, then blinked, not having expected a show of affection instead of one of passion. Warmth spread through him beyond the physical and he smiled in return, lending her his strength as he guided her back inside.Walking through the kitchen and down the hall to her bedroom.<br><br>Walking to the bed he turned and kept a guiding hand on her waist until she coul sit down on the bed, hopefully to rest seeing as she was quite weak, something he realized fully when he supported her to the room. "Lay back and rest," He instructed her, offering a soft expression as he raised his left knee and placed it on the bed, resting his arms at his side.

				She was a bit surprised, he seemed shocked when she had kissed his neck. Then something softer became of his expression.&nbsp; It made her wonder what things protectors had to go through to get to this point.&nbsp; She didn't know why but the one they sent before seemed different, wrong almost.&nbsp; Like he wasn't trained long enough.<br><br>She let him guide her to the bed, and sat down.&nbsp; Looking up she met eyes again and smiled as he nstructed her.&nbsp; She did lie back though this caused her torn blue shirt falling to the side some exposing the materialof her black lace bra, the black capri's now dirty and slashed from the fight had a slight gouge in the side exposing the very skin of her outer thigh.&nbsp; She sighed and closed her eyes but didn't stay that way for long as she reached out and grabbed his wrist.&nbsp; "Just...stay okay?" She didn't know what his plans were but after letting her guard down for him she didn't want him just walking away from her.

				Kyousuke watched her lay back and smiled faintly, glad that she was willing to relax. He had intended to slip out of the room and clean up quickly, but first he noticed her attire. The torn blue shirt rode up, exposing her midriff, and the tear itself showing him her black lace bra, as well as the skin of her outer thigh exposed from yet another cut.<br><br>Part of him felt saddened and disturbed by the near injuries, while the other longed to reach out and taste her skin. Shaking himself from the lustful stupor he moved to step back, only to have her grip his wrist, pleading with him not to leave. He could feel her vulnerability, but with blood literally in his hands he id not feel comfortable moving forward. <br><br>Kyousuke leaned over her and gently touched his lips to hers, a soft kiss to reassure her that nothing had changed with the small walk they had taken. "I need to clean up quickly, it will only take a few minutes," He spoke as he rested himself over her, letting her feel his weight and warmth for a few moments before he would attempt again to slip out of the room to clean up.

				She sighed slightly, there were things Kyousukuke didn't know about her.&nbsp; Didn't know about what she had done.&nbsp; She was trying as she told him she woud though to let go of her fears.&nbsp; It was temporary but she was going to try.&nbsp; For a little while at least, while they can.<br><br>The soft kiss was quite the reassurance she needed.&nbsp; She heard what he said about getting cleaned up and then suddenly it took her. Drifting off into an exhausted wary sleep.&nbsp; Her head dropping against his softly, her soft yet slow breathing and relaxed nature evidence of her sleeping. Her hand dropped from his wrist and settled on the bed.&nbsp;

				Kyousuke noticed how her body lost all tension, her head lightly resting against his as her soft and slow breathing sounded her restful sleep. With a faint smile he waited for her grip on her wrist to slip away before kissing her lips again and shifting away from her, his hands deftly stripping away her from the bottom up, leaving her in her lacy black underwear. He suspected he shouldn't study her too long and pulled her blankets over her.<br><br>He found himself hating leaving, as he still wanted and needed to be there with her. All the same he left the room and went to the living room, the outlit that had been connected to the Brydo had shorted. Gathering energy around his fingers he traced a circle an inch above the ground around the Brydo and then forced a large amount of energy into the middle of the circle. White fire flashed from the center to the outside, vaporizing the corpse and leaving not even the scent of death.<br><br>After doing the same with the corpse outside went into the bathroom, pulling off his sweatshirt and letting it fall to the ground as he scrubbed away the blood that had dried on his hands. Frowning once he finally scrubbed it away Kyousuke filled the sink with water and placed the sweatshirt inside it, soaking it in the water. He would leave it there to get the scent of blood out of it while he left and went back to the sleeping girl.

				Jaiden had not moved much as she slept, the only thing she had done is bring her arm up and nestled her face in the crook of it.&nbsp; Her raven hair lay sprawled out beneath her, chest rising and falling in a slow, rhythmic way, her lips parted slightly as the only sounds in the room were the soft breath from her lips.&nbsp; Beneath her unmoving eyelids were a dream, one unshared by her with anyone.&nbsp; Even the ones that sent the protector were blocked off from seeing his death.<br><br>**<br>Jaiden had been surrounded by both Brydo and something in the shadows unseen.&nbsp; The blonde hair blue eyed protector Tristen jumped in suddenly.&nbsp; His voice less commanding than Kyo's.&nbsp; "Why...why keep running from me?&nbsp; I don't want them killing you!"&nbsp; She didn't answer.&nbsp; Fear of getting close and fear of awakening.&nbsp; Of being that powerful.&nbsp; It was deep inside her.&nbsp; Yet she never was able to tell him.&nbsp; Before she knew it a Byrdo sunk it's teeth into her shoulder, she was instant.&nbsp; She screamed in agony, the power within her below the surface wanting to be awoken, wanting to tear into the threat that wanted to kill her.&nbsp; <br><br>"JAIDEN"<br><br>When he turned to help her, he let his guard down, one by one they used that for their advantage.&nbsp; One by one she saw them slice him.&nbsp; She felt sick, she got sick but it didn't matter, they forced her on her knees, forcing her to watch the deed.<br><br>Her sudden nightmare became a raving nightmare as Tristen's face became Kyousuke's adoring face.&nbsp; In her dream she begged them to let him go, begged them to end his life.&nbsp; She had never done so before in her life, never asked for such a trade, what could this mean.&nbsp; <br>**<br><br>On the bed there was almost no evidence of the dream, the only proof to it would be the tear which fell down her cheek

The only problem he thought he had was that he had no words to describe how he felt when he stared at her while she slept. Would he call her adorable, cute, pretty? It seemed to him that she embodied meanings from each word.<br><br>But his need for a better vocabulary was forgotten as he noticed a tear he saw trailing down her cheek. Confused he moved closer and sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning over her by placing an arm over her and using that arm to support his weight as he hovered over her, trying to understand what could be wrong, or if he was simply over thinking things.

				While he hovered over her he watched her shift to her side in her sleep, facing away from him as she hid her face against her arm. Tilting his head slightly he shifted himself behind her, resting on his left hip as he continued to stay above her, his body fully on the bed as he watched over her.<br><br>While still clearly asleep her lips moved faintly and she spoke words he hadn't known would mean so much to him. Heat swirled through his chest as the pressure of the sudden burst of emotions pressed down on his chest and tightened his throat.

				Kyousuke was sensitive to his surroundings, more so than was comfortable. When Jaiden began to shift early in the morning as she was slowly waking up he was instantly up and about. But as he had demonstrated the previous day he had the ability to be fully aware and awake with only changing his breathing pattern.<br><br>Knowing she was awake he pressed himself tight against her, hugging her harder as he waited for her to wake up fully.

She wondered what her dream meant.&nbsp; She knew if it came to it, she would indeed throw herself in front of a sword to protect this man.&nbsp; But what was it that had changed so?&nbsp; Not caring she curled against him, glad for his warm arms around her body.&nbsp; <br><br>She sighed softly; "You are still wondering what is in the backpack aren't you?"

				"A wise decision."

				Jaiden sighed, "I haven't told you what it is because I am trying to protect you.&nbsp; I figure if you don't know what it is or how I got it, no one that finds out about it or nothing that happens to us can link you to it.........and If the Byrdo gets it........" she closed her eyes for a moment.&nbsp; "It won't matter how strong you are, they can use it to have me destroy myself." <br><br>She enjoyed the feel of his hand upon her back, she almost hated to ruin such a good feeling.&nbsp; "I am not saying I would but if I ran again, from you.....to protect you...."

				Kyousuke had no idea what kind of item could do such a thing. Control her to the point that she would destroy herself. What could do such a thing? How did she come across it, and why hadn't she destroyed it? None it made sense to him but there was nothing that made him think she was lying.<br><br>Inwardly he was suddenly worried. Such an item was far too powerful to be simply hidden, they could always be found, and the fact that it existed alone was enough to worry him quite a lot. "Yes, I understand."<br><br>Kyousuke didn't say any more, moments later he had slipped from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. Instead he went to the kitchen and began to make food, unsure of how he should proceed with this new information.

				Jaiden felt like she just had a door slammed in her face.&nbsp; She also felt like kicking herself for trusting that he could handle such information.&nbsp; With a heavy heart and feeling like she beared a piece of her soul and was shut down she stood and went to the closet.&nbsp; Changing her panties and putting a new pair of black tight pants on, a sky blue halter which tied around the neck and had a back line that made it seem almost backless she walked to the bathroom and combed and put her hair into a pony tail.<br><br>She moved through the livingroom passed the kitchen and to grab the backpack and checked to make sure the relic had not been removed.&nbsp; She smiled and picked it up, it was safe.&nbsp; Suddenly she got overwhelmed with her power, her body reacted and a pulse shot through the house her entire body tensed and arched with such power.&nbsp; Her power thundered through the house and knocked Kyousuke out, slamming into him suddenly rendering him unconscious.&nbsp; She dropped the relic in the bag and went to the kitchen quickly hearing a noise.&nbsp; <br><br>Kyousuke was on the floor unconscious.&nbsp; Guilt got her in the pit of her stomach as well as another feeling she was getting for this man.&nbsp; She walked over and kissed his lips softly.&nbsp; "I am sorry, I just can't watch another person die for me.&nbsp; I'm not worth it."&nbsp; She reached over and unclasped her bracelet putting it in his hand and closing it.&nbsp; <br><br>With that she stood and grabbed her jacket and helmet out of the closet.&nbsp; Slipping it on she put her backpack on and left the house.&nbsp; It took her but two minutes to push the bike out of the garage.&nbsp; There was a full extra gas can tied to the bike.&nbsp; With one last look to the place she called home she kick started the bike and drove away.&nbsp; Running once again and felt.&nbsp; <br><br>It had been almost an entire day since she left her home and now she found she was tiring.&nbsp; She would have to stop in the next town and sleep before moving on.

				Kyousuke had been preparing breakfast when it suddenly felt as though a wall rushed to greet his side, smashing him from his feet an dropping him to the floor. For several hours he was in a daze, unaware of his surroundings, unable to move, not even dreaming as he laid unconscious on the floor in a special sort of magical hold.<br><br>When he woke he still felt like he had been hit by a truck, and barely found the strength to push himself into a sitting position against the cabinets, looking dizzily around the kitchen. Where was Jaiden? It was his first thought, and no matter how hward he focused he couldn't sense her around him.<br><br>But why had she left, was it her who struck him with such force, or had he failed in his duty?

				Too tired to go beyond the next town Jaiden parked the bike outside a motel.&nbsp; She paid for a room and went in shutting and locking the door behind her. She let the back slid off her arm and let it hit the floor.&nbsp; Throwing the key card on the dresser she turned the radio on low to drown out the guilt and dug through the bag.&nbsp; She picked up the relic that was a necklace and put it around her neck for safe keeping.&nbsp; She was too tired.&nbsp; Too exhausted to do much more.&nbsp; Setting the alarm for 8 hours from now she laid upon the bed with her 9 mm in her hand beneath the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.&nbsp; <br><br>What she didn't know was she had been followed since she left her home.&nbsp; Outside the motel a Byrdo watched her room ready to move when he knew it was safe.

				The room felt cramped, he let himself shiver as he stood in the doorway of Jaiden's apartment. Other than growing quite confident that he would be hard pressed to find himself with an explanation of how he was knocked unconscious, and his occasional shivers that he had a hard time labeling, he made no outward signs that he would be displacing himself from his spot between the apartment and the outside world.<br><br>How could he possibly catch her, help her. He didn't know how he was supposed to find her again in time, he didn't have the resources to track her down, and he could feel how far away from him she was.<br><br>The first thing he did was leave the house and stepped into a gas station a few blocks away after a quick jog down the road. After deciding which way he sensed she was, and comparing that to the map, he decided he needed to head north west on the main highway.<br><br>But in this day and age hitch hiking was not something easily done, and not many people would pick him up. So the only thing he could do was slip into the back of a truck while the owner was inside paying for his gas, and then hoping that he was heading the same way. If he ran, he doubted he would make it to Jaiden before something happened to her.

				Hours passed and Jaiden slept on.&nbsp; The night would be falling again and she had gone oblivious to the death of the front desk clerk.&nbsp; Or the Byrdo whom had made it's way to her room with a room card.&nbsp; They were starting to get smarter though.&nbsp; It cracked the door open and entered the room shutting it silently behind it. There was a rag in its hand, contents upon it were your basic chlorophorm.&nbsp; It searched her bag and found nothing.&nbsp; That was fine though, it planned on getting what it was looking for.<br><br>Jaiden woke suddenly when she felt the bed shift.&nbsp; She kept her eyes closed, hand on her gun and breathing the same.&nbsp; She couldn't say the same for her heart beat.&nbsp; Which lead to a curse from her lips as she felt the cold steel blade of a knife against her throat.&nbsp; She was made to sit up.&nbsp; She got ready to dodge and ready to fire at the same time.&nbsp; They did only send one.&nbsp; Thats when she felt her face go pale, another stepped in and went to the bathroom, she saw a can of kerosene in his hand.&nbsp; That was the last lucid thought she could have as the rag soaked with chlorophorm went over her nose and mouth as she struggled and choked trying not to breath it in.&nbsp; Thats when her whole world went blank.&nbsp; <br><br>The Byrdo laid her on the bed and cut the shirt wide open, revealing again her bra but the relic necklace as well.&nbsp; They went into a sudden uproar, something in their language about not being able to touch it while its on her neck.&nbsp; Thats when they poured kerosene all over and grabbed the girl, tossing her over its shoulder, leaving her pack she so carried everywhere and left the room as they tossed a match in.

				Kyousuke felt as though he was floating in the sea of white again. In fact, he was quite sure of it. The only thing that changed was the silent sea had turned into a roaring one, the sound of power's battling, the pure white waters smashing against each other as though at war.<br><br>He sat in the middle, writhing in pain in the back of the truck, receiving flashes of images. They began to feel as though they were burning into his eyes, the sight of fire burning away a haven for the weary, and the relic that pulsed against the female in conflict.<br><br>When the pain left Kyousuke felt cold air rushing into his burning lungs, and found that he was headed face first into the side of the road. He crashed down hard, rolling uncontrollably along the dirt until he was finally stopped by a steel highway exit sign.<br><br>Only a quarter mile away the hotel was being reduced to cinders.

				After a moment of arguing the Byrdo decided she needed to be bound and gagged.&nbsp; There was a van parked near the hotel.&nbsp; They laid her on her belly and yanked her hands behind her back tying it with a rope.&nbsp; They did the same to her feet then taped her mouth.&nbsp; Wise cracks were made about what they would do to her when they get the relic off her neck but at the moment the largest one grabbed her arm, her limp body hung there motionless.&nbsp; He sniffed her.<br><br>"Where is the protector?"<br><br>The one following her stepped forward.&nbsp; "I think the group we sent to her house took him out before she ran off." <br><br>"Hand her over to the doc." He shoved her into another who put her in the van and strapped her on a gurney.&nbsp; "Big guy wants you to follow the sedation orders given and figure out how to get the relic off her." <br><br>Dr. Samson pushed his glasses up on his nose and smirked, "It will be my pleasure.&nbsp; The chip?"&nbsp; After seeing the Byrdo nod he laughed, "Joyous.&nbsp; Go make sure you left no one alive and then well get a move on." He was already starting an IV on the girls arm, taking in the angle of the rope tie he worked it in and had it set.&nbsp; <br><br>Jaiden felt cool air, and then a pinch in her arm.&nbsp; She winced and tried opening her heavy eyelids.&nbsp; Dr. Samson grinned, "I was hoping you'd wake up for this." He unstrapped her and turned her on her belly.&nbsp; The way he held her head down her muffled cursing and protests were ingnored.&nbsp; Suddenly he hooked up a bag and gave her a few minutes for the sedative to take effect.&nbsp; Once she stopped strugging against him and her body relaxed he picked up the scalpel and made a small incision on the back of her neck, it was then he inserted a small microchip into her neck.&nbsp; He easily put a few stitches in, then an easy movement flipped her back onto her back and wondered what was taking so long for them to get back to the van so he can get back and get the relic off. "Tricky girl deciding to put it on."
