"Damn it I said how was I suppose to know!? Fuck if I knew I would have went off to punch a damned wall or something." He knew what it meant, it wasn't like he didn't know. He had seen mages kill themselves before and it was hardly something he wanted to experience first hand. He left it at what he had said, it didn't matter. Mizuki might have years on him but he still didn't know everything. A enraged drow could very well destroy a army before begin stopped or even start to come back to whatever senses they had. As far as he knew there wasn't a real fix for this either, really he held a very mild temper compared to most. It wasn't uncommon back home to see a fight between two of his own kind. Even with that being so long ago.. Not that that area even existed anymore.

Maybe he would have been better staying out in the middle of no where, away from Mizuki. All he was doing was causing the other to worry. Forcing himself to sit he up sighed heavily holding Mizuki up with him even though the other had worn himself out to the point of fainting again. Neimi timidly walked over after the two seemed to stop as she helped Thalion get Mizuki to the bed he was on before.

Sitting he sighed again and looked at her. "You knew didn't you?" She flinched a little looking at him before looking away. "What you were leaving to go do? I had a idea.. Thats .. only the second time though isn't it?" Thalion nodded a little before looking over at Mizuki and then back towards her though slightly down more towards the floor. "I'm not sure he knows what that even means.. heh." He smiled weakly, though Neimi's shoulders seemed to sink a little. She knew, but thats because he had told her. There was a reason why there were hardly any drows anymore let alone ones that made it to a age as the other elven races did.

A good couple hours passed before Mizuki arose again. Openeing his eyes he gave a little hiss of pain as he moved to prop himself up leaning back into his pillows. Looking about the tent he realized that he was alone. Perfect thats just what he needed. Now that he was alone his mind began to whirl with thoughts of what had taken place. First it was the raid, then it was the fact that Thalion took rampage. Mizuki growled at that thought. How could he of been so stupid to do what he had done.

The more Mizuki thought about it the more it angered him. What if the male got to the point of no return. Closing his eyes Mizuki sighed to himself. He knew that drows had bad tempers some of the worst in the world. Mizuki then began to recall the different times Thalion had lost controle. Each time it was a trial and a half to bring the male bck from his thoughts, each time being harder and harder to get him under controle.

Mizuki raised a hand to his head and rested his head in it. What if Thalion had lost all final controle this time around and Mizuki really did loose him. This thought began to boil and fester in the back of his mind. All the possibilities that could of happened began to swirl and infest Mizukis mind. Each thought making his anger spike and rise.

Soon Mizuki found himself out of bed throwing things around cursing and yelling to himself. His anger had got the better of him as he swung down and hit the table infront of him splintering the wood. "How could he..." He said to himself not noticing as some one entered the tent. He didnt care as he picked up and threw the chair that rested at his right side up and half way across the tent "...Its only about him..." He said again up turning the table with a heavy growl.

Mizukis hair somewhere in the tangent undid and hung loosely around him. No one but Neimi and Thalion had seen him with his hair down that being a privledge for those he cared for. He didnt care in that moment as his light lavender eyes began to have swirls of dark purple run through them with every curse he said.Mizuki was a mess of anger and swirling hair as he hit and attacked everything and anything he could get his hands on, Mizuki was pissed to say the least. One of the only thoughts running through his head was the selfeshness of the male he called lover.

((it double posted....o.o))

Raden was the poor sob that had ended up walking in on Mizuki's sudden fit. He didn't know much about mages or even really why Mizuki was so mad. He had talked to Neimi to even see why she didn't want him going after Thalion the other day. Though this little display now scared him a bit. He wasn't one to talk much or get in the way aside from when he thought he was right. But this needed to be stopped before Mizuki hurt himself or caused things to be worse.

He wasn't sure what to do, to leave him alone wasn't a good idea but what could he do to stop him. He kept throwing things around and it only seemed to get worse. He finally swallowed any common sense he had and walked towards Mizuki before trying to get him to at least sit down. "Mizuki, your going to hurt yourself! Neimi would kill both of us if you were found doing this." He tried anything to reason with the enraged Mizuki though nothing seemed to even register in the others thoughts at all.

Mizuki was to far gone by the time Raden tried to step in. The young half bloods voice didnt even regester in his mind as he continued to dystory the room around him. It was not until Raden made the mistake of reaching out to try and touch Mizuki to stop him. That is when Mizukis attention turned to Raden.

Mizuki had an evil look on his face as all the anger and hate in his eyes shone upon the young man before him. That is when Mizuki lashed out Raden catching the young man off gaurd as a fist inforced with magic hit him in the jaw sending him backwards crashing into the up turned table breaking it into pieces.

As Mizuki stood there a moment he pulled his fist back. His skin was red but do to the magic it began to get coated with a light blue mist. Mizuki walked forward and lashed out again kicking the fallen male right in the ribs causing the sickening sound of breaking bones to fill the area "Heh...weekling" Mizuki said.

Raden was still trying to catch his breath from what the hell was even going on when he cringed suddenly with the impact Mizuki delivered while he was still grounded. He needed to move at this rate he thought Mizuki might be insane enough to kill him. Sure they had disagreements but damn that wasn't a good reason to kill someone. He tried to move at least away from where Mizuki was as he listened to him. Hell of course he was weak compared to Mizuki, him and Thalion both were forces to be dealt with but.. this wasn't what he was expecting.

Neimi started to walk in before Raden yelled at her to stop. "Get Thalion! Or anyone" He forced out holding the side that Mizuki had hit. He wasn't about to let her get hurt just because this fool was blind at the moment. Though it seemed he had spared her the same fate he had seeing as Mizuki's eyes never left him. It was almost sicking the look he had on his face.

Neimi didn't want to leave Raden she knew he was hurt by his voice but she quickly noticed the strange aura surrounding Mizuki. Rushing off she went to find Riku or Thalion either one she prayed she ran into either one of them soon. Though as she rushed to find either of them knowing one or the other could help stop Mizuki she nearly ran into Thalion.

"Neimi? Whats the matter?" He had to question her as she panted before trying to explain what was happening. "Raden.. and Mizuki ... he..." She puffed out before Thalion told her to take a moment and explain it, she needed to catch her breath. "Mizuki theres something wrong with him, Raden.. its my fault I sent him in there to check up on Mizuki i figured at most he might be awake and need water or something light to eat.." She looked at at Thalion before shaking her head. "He's.. i dunno whats wrong with him! Raden stopped me from entering and he sounded like he was in pain."

Thalion told her to go find Riku and that he'd go get Raden out of there at the least. Neimi nodded before running off to find the elusive mage leader. Thalion wasn't sure what had gotten into Mizuki but surely Raden didn't do anything to cause what Mizuki had described. The medical ward felt like it was forever and a day from where he was, though running with a side that still needed to be healed didn't help matters.

Once he got to the tend he quickly entered and saw what Neimi was describing. Raden was still on the floor though he seemed more beat up then the last time Neimi was here. Mizuki was about to strike at Raden again when Thalion stepped up to him and grabbed his arm to pull him back. To damn with magic, he knew damn well he couldn't fight Mizuki and that this was stupid but he couldn't stand here and let him nearly kill or kill Raden either. "Mizuki! What the hell's gotten into you!" He forced the mage back further away from Raden to make sure he wasn't hit again, for now thats the best he could do. He saw the look in Mizuki's eyes and face and he hardly liked it.

Mizuki growled as something forced him back from the deemed foe infront of him. With out a second thought he swung behind him with the arm the other tried to force away. He was glad when he felt his elbow connect with the side of foes head that dared take him away from his target. After his arm was freed Mizuki turned around to see Thalion holding the side of his head in pain.

This is when Mizukis anger doubled. Seeing the start of his anger before him pushed Mizuki over the edge. Growling Mizuki swung out his right fish growling as Thalion dodged it. Mizuki smirked "Not that easy" He said in a dark deepened voice. That is when Mizuki lashed out with his knee counteracting his dodge nailing him right in his already roughed up side.

The mist on Mizukis hand began to change to a darker blue as his anger began to get fueled more by the second. But now instead of just a mist crystals seemed to form around his hand and Mizuki smiled "Why try to stop whats coming?' He asked in a dark tone before lashing his hand out to the side. Crystals forming and heading towards Raden like daggers. THUNK THUNK THUNK was all that was heard as they hit the wall and table where Raden was leaning. Lucky for him Raden sunk in time just missing one aimed at his head.

Mizuki never took his eyes off of Thalion as he did this. He almost wanted to laugh at the expression Thalion gave him. It was a combination of anger, horror and regret. That is when Mizuki brought his fist towards Thalion once again.

After he nearly stopped breathing a moment thinking Mizuki had killed Raden he quickly glared back at the mage. Raden was fine, any wounds were from before, he was lucky he was quick. Spitting once he quickly moved to try and get Mizuki off balance at the least. Striking him he couldn't even think of doing. He still needed rest, this fight wasn't helping any.

Mizuki went to hold out a hand towards Raden again to repeat what he had just done but Thalion forced the arm away from where Raden's location was. "Damn it what the hell is the matter with you!? Your suppose to be recovering for fucks sake your attacking your own men!" He growled at him before struggling further with Mizuki. It's not like he stood a chance in hell against magic at this range but he couldn't let him keep firing at Raden, sooner or later he'd hit his target.

The only thing he had on his side was that he was stronger then Mizuki.. but that would only amount for so much. Neimi finally came across Riku as she panted heavily calling out to him. "Riku!... it... it's... " She breathed out again before trying to speak up. "Mizuki .. he's... " She paused a moment to get her breath as she placed her hands on her knees before righting herself. "He's trying to kill Raden!" After another breath she said that Thalion was there, but she wasn't sure what good it'd do.

After struggling for a while longer with Mizuki he finally gave up on just trying to hold him as he hauled off and punched the other square in the gut. Winding him would help anything if he hit that was. "Damn it Mizuki! Get a hold of yourself"

Riku stood from his stable where scrolls of all kinds laid before him. "Really now...the time came closer then I thought" Riku said before walking around the desk and out of the room he was in Neimi fallowing behind him asking what he ment "My dear, I maybe blind but I can clearly see how infused those two souls are" He said to her with a shake of his head "The day Thalion lost his temper and slaughtered all those men..." he began "Mizuki is feeling all that rage now...no doubt combind with some of his own" He said walking out of the building. He needed to get to them fast or some one was going to die.

Mizuki growled as the punch landed right in his gut making him hunch over from the force of it. Though that was short lived as he grabbed the hand in his stomach and squeezed. The force of his grip combined with the magic made for easy hand crushing. Mizuki smiled as he felt the hand grow smaller within his grasp.

Now with Thalions hand held within his he smiled standing straight "Whats wrong dear hero..." Mizuki asked before he wound up his free hand and punched Thalion in the face while he held him there "Cant defend yourself" He asked as he swung out again.

This was when Riku entered the room. Rikus step faultered as he felt the change of power in the room "Master Mizuki stop or I will stop you" Riku said lifting his staff "Do not make me bind out" Though his words were silenced as Mizuki pushed Thalion away by his broken hand before turning to Riku with a evil laugh and sick smile "Oh...you dare think you can" He said before he began on a rant in his own tongue.

Riku raised his staff and stepped back "Master...dont do it" He said but Mizuki smiled. Just then the crystals on his hand elongated and grew into a long clear blade "My blades a little colorless" He said taking a step forward "Shall we see if red looks good on it?" He asked tilting his head his neck cracking.

Riku sighed before standing straight "You leave me no choice then master" He said before raising his staff and starting the incantation. Mizuki laughed and took a step forward "Try all you want" He said taking another step forward "I will do more then try" Riku said before the end of his staff hit the ground. As soon as it met the ground Mizuki growled and fell to one knee.

This though was little to Mizuki and he tried to get back on "Not this time" Riku said before turning his staff. With that Mizukis arms were forced behind his back by something not seen and he growled as the crystal blade ran right through his left arm. Though he still struggled "Thalion....wake him up" Riku said "I can hold him but not wake him...thats your job"

Even through the struggling and trying to force the other down or into submission he couldn't do it. With one hand broken he knew for sure this was a done deal. He should have just grabbed Raden and run, though running wasn't something he knew how to do. Really if he wasn't letting his temper getting the better of him at the moment he might bother paying more attention to his hand. Though he'd be reminded of it soon enough he was sure.

With Mizuki was about to strike again Riku came in and started to draw his attention. Thalion had to let out a relieved breath, that was almost too close. Why had he been so stupid to rush in here, sure he had fought Mizuki before but this time was different. It didn't help he didn't want to really hurt the other, maybe he was getting soft over the years. Raden moved a little to get near where Thalion was as he cringed a little. "I'm sorry I-" Thalion cut him off as the two mages seemed to go at each other for the moment.

"It's not your fault, this wasn't something either of us should have stepped into. Your alive thats all that matters." It was true enough, though to be honest with the boy he felt rather useless. He could have gotten them both killed and there would have been nothing he could ave done to stop it. Maybe after this war was over he should go back out and start working on his training again, like hell magic was doing him any good when he couldn't use it.

Though he was brought from his thoughts when Riku said he had to wake him. He growled a little knowing the first thought that came to his mind. "Tsk I'll wake him, after I punch his skull in.." Though he wasn't really going to, he had dealt with Mizuki like this in a similar state... so he knew or had a idea on what to do to get him out of this current one. Though he had a few things to get off of his chest first.

Grabbing the collar of Mizuki's shirt his ears went back before he bothered speaking. "Your damn lucky he's around or we'd have to kill your dumb ass for pulling this! Also you better learn to fucking run when my hand heals because I'm not letting you get away with that no matter what your damn temper was." He hardly cared if Mizuki could remember the threats or not or if he cared in this state but it made him feel better either way. "If you fucking bite me your dead..." He hissed out before kissing Mizuki, it was more of a rough kiss then anything though from what had just happened Mizuki might be lucky that Thalion didn't go through with his punching idea first off. Even if it wouldn't have done him any good.

Mizuki struggled against everything that was done to him. The fact that Riku was able to bind him made him upset so it fueled his anger even more. Mizuki was about to open his mouth and make a snide remark before the image of Thalion filled his vission and he was jerked forward as the male grabbed him "Oh I will show you what I-" But his words were cut off as the males lips before his colided with his own.

Mizuki growled deep and opened his mouth to do just as Thalion told him not to do. He was going to bite down...but there was something about the roughness of the brash kiss that made him pause in his actions. Soon he found his anger depleating but the heat and passion of the kiss coming full force. He was angry and mad and hurt but the feel of the worried love Thalion gave him made his powers simmer and finaly leave.

Riku stood there and watched as the blade all but disapeared from Mizukis hands and the anger of his aura depleate. Walking over with out a word Riku picked Raden up and carried him from the room telling Neimi to fallow. When she asked if it was alright to leave them after that Riku smiled "He is no longer a threat" He said over his cargo in his arms. And so Thaliona nd Mizuki were left alone.

Neimi did quickly follow but only to notice the look on Raden's face. "You going to make it?" She asked before he shook his head. "I nearly got Thalion killed along with myself, why was I that stupid!" Neimi frowned a little still walking with Riku. "You were trying to help.. I would have done the same thing.. though I'd probably be dead by the beating you got" She smiled weakly, humans weren't as durable as some of the races and she was rather small to start with. She looked down before speaking again to Riku. "Will it happen again? I've seen what Thalion can do when he's.. gone. I don't want to see that again.."

He never bothered to notice that Riku had gotten Raden out or that they even left. He was about to clock Mizuki feeling his start to act like he was going to do what he warned him not to do. Like hell he was going to sit there and let him bite him. Though he kept his not busted hand holding his collar even as he pulled back from the kiss. He was more worried to see the same eyes from before then anything, though that didn't seem to be the case.

"You in control of yourself now? Because when I repay you back for what the hell you did I want to make sure you remember it." He slowly released the collar of Mizuki's shirt but he stayed where he was, he half expected the other to punch him again no matter if he was still enraged or not. Though this time was worse then the last, he didn't know why either. As far as he knew Raden had walked in on him being this way so he wasn't sure he'd get a reason as to why he was acting like this.

He shook his head a little before looking at the other. "You yell and throw a fucking fit because of something I can't control then you turn around and do the same thing nearly killing someone in the process? ..." He breathed out a little, really he was just glad it was over though he ended up being worse for wear by far.

Mizuki stayed knelt as he looked at Thalion "What do you mean?" Mizuki asked as he looked around the room. It was trashed! Everything was in runes and blood plattered the floor. He was about to ask what happened when Thalion told him what just took place. Mizuki stopped dead cold "W-what..." He said before looking at the expression Thalion gave him "I...I dont remeber" He said slightly.

Looking around at the room he moved his arms forward and looked at them. Had he really caused all this damage and...who did he almost kill. Looking up Mizuki saw the state of Thalion. He was basttered and worse for wear but no where near death "W..who did I..." Then a flash before his eyes and Mizuki sank down hunching over "Raden..." He said in a pained whisper before he started crying "What...what have I done?" He asked as he coverd his head in his arms and began to weep.

Even though he was still mad at him he couldn't keep this up with him breaking down like this. When Mizuki started crying he sighed before pulling the other close to him and holding him there, minding his one hand. "calm down.. Raden's fine. A bit beaten up but he's a trooper." He didn't remember? At the least when he entered into a state like that he could recall what had happened though it was mostly blurred together but he could still call to details and people in most cases.

"Mizuki.. please stop. I don't know what caused this but everything is ok now.. Riku helped stop you and he's getting Raden to get whatever attention he'll need." His ears dropped a little before he rested his head against the others trying to calm him down. Not that he was any good at this but it's all he could do. He didn't feel like getting out of the floor anyway. Maybe he shouldn't have been so stern with him, but he assumed it was like his own enrages and that he'd remember what the hell happened at the least.

Mizukis bodie shivered as he cried though the moment he felt Thalion pull him close and hold him was the moment he truely broke down. This is when all the fruistrations of the past days took hold and he wept hard. "Why....why always us" He muttered through his tears. It seemed to him that the fates truely hated them. Was this what the fates had instore if he stayed with Thalion?

"Is...is it us...are...we not ment...to be" He asked in a hicup. He couldnt believe what he had just said but it was there. Mizuki really hoped Thalions response was anything but what he feared.

His ears dropped listening to Mizuki talk about fates and that maybe they weren't meant to be and all. He shook his head a little still holding the other close. What was he suppose to say.. he didn't believe in fates and everything. He never had any trust in the gods or goddess or that someone determined where and what road that one should take in life.

"To hell with fate.. the gods have never done me any favors." If they had he'd have a family and probably not live this life at all, he might still have a clan even. "They can say whatever they want about not suppose to be and I'll tell them to shove it.." He said before moving a little to get Mizuki to look at him. "I've yet to regret anything I've ever done when it comes to you.. even the first day I choose to not kill you when I had the chance. To hell with if it's meant to be or not what about our choice in this?"

"Our choice..." Mizuki said as he looked up to Thalion with teared eyes. Was it really up to them? Did they have any choice in the matter? Mizuki was one to believe in fates and higher powers. What happened happened for a reason and thats all he ever thought. So When this rant came out Mizuki really thought "Our choice..." He said again thinking out loud.

Then Mizuki said something that he was not really sure if he had said it or not "I choose you...." He said softly looking up to Thalion. It was cheesy and something Mizuki was a little embaressed by but he didnt care "Its always been you" He said

He knew Mizuki was into fate and that there was a higher power, most mages were. But he never lived by that, Though most drow did pray to the dark goddess.. he never once bothered with such things. All of his clan had prayed to her and look where it ended them at. He nodded a little as Mizuki seemed to repeat what he had just said a second time. He figured he wasn't going to really go for that little spew he just put out.. but in that way Mizuki and Thalion were different.

Though his next words caught him off guard a little as he looked at Mizuki. "Mizuki... " He couldn't even believe that he had just said that, sure a few times he had said it was fate that they were together but he feared that when he started to question such things that this was going to be the end.. maybe he was going to lose Mizuki because of whatever higher being that was causing this to happen.

He pulled the other close again to rest his head on Mizuki's again. "We'll get through this... we have each other .. and even Raden and Neimi.." He smiled weakly, they still had one of the largest battles yet to come but he didn't doubt that they would win.. they had to for .. well for everyone's sake.

Mizuki smiled a little smile through his tears and he clsed his eyes. They stayed that way for awhile before they were interupted by Neimi who came back to the room "You guys are still on the floor!" She huffed before crossing her arms "if you cant get up I will get some one to help you" She said and this earned a growl from Mizuki "No ones touching me" He said moving closer to Thalion. The only thing he wanted was to be with Thalion and near him and no one was about to pry them apart.

He was about to relax again when Neimi finally spoke up. He wasn't going to protest to getting help with Mizuki so at least he was off of the floor. He knew very well he couldn't force him to stand with one hand busted like it was. He looked at Neimi with a bit weakened smile. "He'll be fine, you worry too much.. besides He'll be able to stand when he chooses to... heh not like I can force him." Neimi asked why that was before she walked over when Thalion didn't answer though she noticed he was favoring one hand.

Grabbing it she applied just the least amount of pressure causing her victim to wince. "You weren't going to tell me were you? Ugh your both damn stubborn!" She sighed a little before smiling weakly at them both. It was funny she'd rather them be like this then.. what had happened earlier and the day before. "I'd say stay there but you two aren't moving anyway." She shrugged a little before walking out to go fetch something to fix up Thalion's hand with, at the least she could make sure it healed.

Mizuki watched the exchange between the two and watched as Neimi grabbed his hand and Thalion whinced. When Neimi left and Thalion lowered his hand Mizuki took both of his hands and lightly grabbed that of Thalions wounded hand. Upon looking at it he saw that it was more or less crushed "Did...I do this?" He asked the other but got no response...that was answer itself.

Mizuki frowned. Fine if he did it then he would be the one to fix it. Saying a soft incantation he looked up to Thalion "Sorry" He said before he crushed Thalions hand between his two. He winced at the curse Thalion let out but as he drew his hands away he was happy to see or rather feel the bones moving and cracking back into place then healed. It took all of Mizukis energy but he felt so bad for what had taken place.

Mizukis eyes began to droop and he slumped into Thalion njo longer able to hold himself up. Everything was started to take hold of him and the more energy he used the more he wanted to pass out.

He didn't want to answer Mizuki he had just gotten him to calm down. Saying it was his fault would upset him, though he figured the other could figure out it was due to him anyway. Besides normally the answer was yes whenever Thalion didn't answer a question or rather refused to answer. Though the next course of actions Mizuki seemed to take caught him off guard as he cursed a few times at the other in his own tongue.

Once he seemed to be done Thalion cringed a little, that was something he never wished to experience again. Healing over time was fine by him but that was .. he didn't want to think on how to describe the feeling of bone fixing itself. Though his attention was drawn back to Mizuki as he seemed to fall forward. As he caught him he sighed a little before speaking. "You could have left well enough be.. idiot.." He shook his head a little before testing the hand for a second.

He moved a little before forcing Mizuki to stand and then getting him to sit then lay down on the bed near them. "There now Neimi can't yell at either of us.." He laughed weakly before sitting on the edge of the bed with a sigh. "Also no more getting out of bed! or using magic for that matter. You were suppose to be healing and you went and pushed yourself again." He wasn't really scolding him but he did want to make his point clear.

Mizuki hissed as he was moved and laied down on the bed. His arm was bleeding and re opened old wounds but he was more tired and exhusted then anything. Mizuki smiled as he laid there and looked to Thalion who joined him on the on the edge of the bed. "I broke it so I fixed it" He said simply before he shrugged his shoulders "Besides...your going to need that hand" He said before his eyes closed half way "Just...dont leave me" He said placing his hand on Thalions leg before his eyes closed and he finaly passed out.

He shook his head a little as Mizuki seemed to pass out finally. Really he was glad of it, Mizuki needed the rest. "You could have waited till you recovered.. " Neimi was right they were both stubborn. He moved a hand over the one Mizuki had placed on his leg and left it there. Riku had taken care of most of the work or at least setting up groups to take care of it so he guessed he could stay here till Mizuki woke up again. Or till Neimi ran him off saying he needed rest.

Neimi came back in as she went to grab his hand again. "Mizuki always ruins my fun.." She pouted a little before looking over the now resting Mizuki. "Well at least I can treat his wounds when he's like this.." She sighed lightly before going to work on it.

The rest of the day went on with little to no interuptions everyone wanted the couple to heal and heal fast. Mizuki remaind the way he was his mind succumbed to the darkness until later the next day. He even slept through the room being fixed and everything that was broken was removed and replaced by different mages as Riku stood there making sure it was done. The last thing that was replaced and brought in was another bed and it was placed right besides Mizukis "There...now you can rest and still be here" Riku said with a disaproving tone.

Riku knew that Mizuki and Thalion had a very strong relations. One that could last till the end of time its self and continue so he needed to make them as comfertable as possible. Walking over Riku placed something on the table beside Thalions bed. It was a glass of almost brown looking fluid "Drink it" He said and before he got a response he was up and out of the room the two needed rest after all.

Soon Mizuki stirred. His head moved and turned to the side as he let out a little unnoticed sigh. Blinking open his eyes slowly he looked to the male now sitting on the pushed together beds looking at a cup in his hand with distaste. It seemed as though Riku had come and gone he thought to himself "...Drink it" He said softly with a playful scorn on his face. It took everything to keep the light chuckle of laughter in as he got a jump then a glare from Thalion.

Truth of it was Thalion hardly liked this type of treatment. He had fighters that needed training and they sure as hell wouldn't practice alone. Even as the room was fixed and things replaced to the way they were and Riku saying that the extra bed was so he could rest. He hardly felt like resting. Neimi was rather pleased he had stayed there this long truth be told, sure it was for Mizuki but she knew Thalion. He'd wind up getting stir crazy if left there long enough.

Of course he was looking at the glass, it wasn't normal to tell someone to drink something without explaining what was in it or what it did. Though after a few moments when Mizuki seemed to be awake he sighed a little looking at it again. He knew Mizuki wouldn't go back to resting if he didn't drink it now. 'I'm getting tired of all of this..' he complained to himself in his head, it was true enough.

After a moment he drink the glass and cursed it soon after before glaring at Mizuki who seemed pleased. "I don't want to know, but are you happy now in the least?"

Mizuki gave a smile "All Riku does is help" He said softly before moving and sitting up slowly on his own. "It was just to heal" He said before running his fingers through his still undid locks of hair. He grumbled and groaned as he ran his fingers through it and feeling the dirt and crusted blood that still lay there.

That is when the thought of a bath entered his mind. Oh my the feeling of the hot water the clean hair. Mizuki shivered at the thought of how good it would feel. He then woundered if he could convince Thalion they needed to go home. Turning his head to the other he tilted his head "you sick of being here?" He asked and knew of how much of a stupid question that was "Lets go home..." He said giving the other pleeding eyes.

"I could guess whats its for... " That didn't make the taste go away any faster though. Though maybe this way Mizuki would go back to resting. Sure he needed rest himself but Mizuki was still worse off then he was. He heard Mizuki complaining about something though he never said a word about it, it was a good sign really. It meant he was feeling a bit better then before at least.

"Hrm?" He Looked over at Mizuki with the sudden question. Oh course he was, sitting in this same area for the past few days. He was ready to kill the next person who told him he needed to rest another day. "Are you allowed to leave? By all means I hardly care about staying here another moment.." But he didn't want that mage to get on his case for moving Mizuki.

"Eh fuck it." He finally said. "You want to leave we'll leave and go home, even if I have to carry you." He wasn't sure how far Mizuki could walk even, not with all of the bed rest he had gotten. Staying like this for too long made you weaker even if it was something that had to be done.

Mizuki smiled as Thalion spoke. Well that was easyer then he thought but Mizuki was not complaining. "I dont care if I can or not" He said with a shrug before moving his feet to the edge of the bed. His strength seemed to be against him as he pushed himself up off of the bed. Mizuki was fine for a moment before he took a step to the side almost falling on his face though he quickly caught himself on the edge of his bed with a little pain filled smiled to Thalion "Im fine" He said before the other could protest "Just come over here and help me" Mizuki said with a little smile standing straight up.

Thalion watched Mziuki for a moment before he seemed to steady himself again. He nodded when the other finally spoke up and told him to come help. "Like I wasn't going to?" He said before going over to Mizuki and helping him. If they had at least a little luck Neimi wouldn't notice them. She would skin them both for this stunt.

After making sure he was steady again he let Mizuki lead at his pace, Thalion could walk well enough but then again he was known to push himself a bit far as well. This went on a little while before they even made it back to their home. Thalion couldn't believe he was even excited to see it, it's not like they had gone that far but still.

Once he managed to get Mizuki inside he got him to sit down and rest, that took more out of him then he figured it would. "Well... heh we're home now." He breathed out before sitting next to where Mizuki was resting at the moment on the couch. "Why did you want to come home so badly anyway?" He smiled weakly at the other though it was only because he was tired. He had noticed the pleading look from before, Mizuki never used that.

Mizuki as soon as he sat down closed his eyes and smiled at the scents he called home. It took him a little while before he answered Thalion but when he did he turned his head and looked at him with a smile "Always heal better at home" Mizuki knew that Thalion would not argue with him into going back if he pulled that card so he did just that. "Besides..." He said "I want the hottest bath..." He said in an almost needy voice.

If there was one thing Mizuki could not stand in this world it was being dirty. The moment he ran his fingers through his hair he wanted to cry at the gritty feeling that befell his skin. "But...I need your help" He said his eyes softening. Mizuki knew that Thalion would never reject him when he asked for help because he rarely did ask for it, but he knew he needed it.

He had to laugh a little before speaking again. "We'll get you that bath then." It was just relaxing to be back home, and to have Mizuki there. For the time being they had the house to themselves as well, not that it would have mattered much if the other two were home.

Leaning over to Mizuki he kissed his lips lightly. "I'll be back then when the waters ready." He couldn't refuse him if he had wanted to. This was half his fault Mizuki was in this state, but even without that he wanted to help the other. He never got a chance to do so, it was indeed rare for him to ask for help.

After leaving for a little while to fix the tub he came back out to help Mizuki stand and get to the other room. Once in there he helped Mizuki get his clothes off and get into the water before Thalion knelt down next to the tub. "By that expression you almost look like you died again." It was rather funny to him.

Mizuki smiled as he felt the light brush of lips on his. Yes it was good to be home 'Alright" He said lightly as Thalion spoke of getting the water ready. Mizuki would sit and wait. When Thalion returned and helped him stand he gave a little his as tense muscles moved and stretched. Making the short trip to the bathroom seemed to fun enough.

Though everything was worth it as his clothes were removed and he was helped into the tub. As soon as the hot water his his skin and he was fully seated on the bottem of the tub his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he shuddered. Every inch of his soreness began to melt away with the soothing water. Though that is when Thalions voice reached his ears and he smiled "Heaven..." Was all he said before turning and looking to Thalion.

He was glad the other male didnt leave him alone in the tub. Though at the same time he was saddened with the fact that he was basking in the hot water alone. Mizuki knew first hand that the tub was large enough for two "Join me?" He asked with a smile and half lidded lavender eyes.

He smiled a little when Mizuki spoke saying heaven. He was sure it was, he knew very well Mizuki liked taking at least one bath a day let alone some days he went for two depending on what happened. He was going to be content just sitting here offering to help when needed though the look Mizuki gave him he knew what was coming.

"Ok ok.." He said probably giving in too easily as he went about getting his clothes off minding a few of the wounds. That was part of the reason he didn't want to get in really was because of the wounds he was trying to not open again. Neimi would kill him if she had to sew the same ones up for the working on 3rd or 4th time now.

He hissed a little when he got in before speaking. The one gash on his side was a pretty good one. "Happy now?" He asked with a slight hint of a cocky smirk, though to admit it he knew he was. Just being near Mizuki helped a great deal, getting to see him like this was more of a bonus..

Mizuki smiled. He knew that deep down Thalion wanted the bath as well but with Mizuki already being in the tub it was an added bonus. As Thalion got in and moved to lean back on the other side of the tub Mizuki almost gave a frown of protest "Happy now" He heard and Mizuki shook his head no lightly. Before Thalion could ask why he moved carefully mindfull of both the states they were in and leaned into Thalion setteling between the others legs and resting his head on his chest he smiled "I am now" He said.

Mizuki loved the feeling of the hot water around him but the feeling of Thalion below him was something he loved even more. After awhile he sighed before moving. He was still within Thalions lap but instead he turned to face him with his legs on either side of Thlaions. This is where he leaned back slolwy dipping his hair back into the hot water. The strain on his back was harsh but he needed to wash it.

He nodded a little against the other resting his head against Mizuki's when he settled leaning against him. Feeling his bare skin against his, he wanted nothing more really. Just sitting here and enjoying this was plenty for him, everything had gone on in the past few days... he needed to just relax a little.

When Mizuki moved he opened his eyes from where he had closed them briefly. He wasn't going to question what Mizuki was doing or why he had moved to face him just to wash his hair. He could have helped him form the other way as well. Though he wasn't going to complain, even knowing that this was probably rough on Mizuki he still was enjoying the view of this.. When Mizuki seemed to be done with his hair for the moment Thalion moved forward and kissed the others lips placing a hand on Mizuki's waste. Normally Mizuki was the one to hint at things or get them started.. but whatever reason Thalion just wanted to touch the other and embrace him.

It took Mizuki a moment or two but when he was happy with the way his hair felt he sat up once again only to be greated with the lips of Thalion. Giving a smile he kissed him back. It was a soft and slow movement of lips Mizuki barely noticing the hand that seemed to find home at his waste holding him there. Moving his hand up he brushed wet fingers through Thalions locked before puling back from the kiss.

Mizuki just at there a moment looking at the Expression Thalion gave him. It was a combination of pain, relaxation and lust...the lust was what drew Mizuki in more. Running his hand that was in his hair down a pointed ear to a neck he ghosted pale fingers over the exposed skin before he rested a flat hand on the others chest "What is it you want?" He asked in a little breathless voice knowing that the one before him was a sucker for words and the tone that they were spoken in.

It was probably a combination of everything that had happened over the past few days that brought this little display on even. He had what he wanted, the one person he loved sitting here with him. He didn't really want anything more just knowing they were both alive was plenty for him. Though when Mizuki spoke after causing a slight shiver to crawl up Thalion's spine from where he was lightly touching his ear he shook his head a little. "I have what I want already... your alive thats all I care about." It was a little blunt but it was the truth.

Sure he wanted something else, but he wasn't about to push Mizuki that far. Just these simple touched were causing him to second guess that thought though. He needed to keep both of them from going that far. Mizuki needed to heal still.. though that could be a method of healing.

Mizuki smiled down at Thalion. He had one thought going through his head and if Thalion thought that he would start something and not finish it he was wrong. Mizuki knew that the actions he wanted would cause some not so good things to happen but Mizuki wanted it...no he needed it. Then the thought of when he was rested more he could heal anything that had happened. With that thought in his mind he came to the conclusion that Thalion was not getting out of this so easy.

Moving slightly on his knees Mizuki smiled at the look he from from Thalion "I am alive..." He said moving the hand on the others chest "I am right before you...wanting you" He said knowing that if those words didnt push Thalion over the edge his next action would. Leaning forward he brushed his lips over the males ear before he spoke lowly "Dont deny me what I want..." He said hot breath ghosting over the lobe before his tongue fallowed.

It was easy to notice that Mizuki wasn't backing down, they both wanted the same thing. He just didn't want to force Mizuki into doing something if it would hurt him further. With Mizuki looking down on him and moving closer.. he could tell by his eyes at what he wanted and he knew the other planned to get it by any means.

He breathed out sharply when Mizuki whispered his words before catching him slightly off guard as another shiver went along his back. "You.. you should rest." He managed to get out feeling at a loss of words for a moment. Though this didn't stop Mizuki as he seemed to continue causing Thalion to lose this battle the longer these little teases and torments went on.

Finally he gave in panting just slightly, though he swore he wasn't going to give in this time. "Ok .. you win" It's not like he didn't want it as well, so it wasn't like he really lost. "Don't push yourself though." He pleaded a little with him, knowing that Mizuki could get carried away sometimes and he wasn't sure if this would be one of those times.
