'As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left.'

He had been listening to what Ryu had said. Shock cursing through his body. This was a bit much for him, Ruki could only imagine how it was overloading it was mentally and emotionally for Yui. To just find out you were not an orphan. And to protect you, your parents would play with extremely dangerous magic he'd only read about.

Stepping back from the group, Ruiki contemplated his own life and choices. There were a few he was not proud of most recently and involving Yui. Then again they had all been manipulated by their father and creator. Movement drew him from his thoughts just as Lunaria disappeared from his peripheral vision. The look on her face had him looking forward, catching what was being said as questions were asked. Ruki did not hesitate to follow her, but only after he motioned for Azusa to stay. Getting a glare that was pure anger, though he complied.

Staying a safe distance from Lunaria, Ruki followed and watched the younger of the twins. How she'd pause at an occasional door. Touching it and muttering something he couldn't make out. Though he could tell from body language alone she was very sad and hurt.

'As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool.'

She could not stay and listen. the pain to real at hearing she'd never see her older brother and first love, again. And at Tician's mental nudge she'd left the group. Her mind playing all the good and bad memories. Mind supplying an accurate number of those that had died either by her hand or because of her. Lunaria knew she could never unsee the dead, broken and bloody bodies of those she knew. So, as she topped by each door she recalled the memories associated with each. Smiling wanly at the last door in the hallway. It was destroyed from the inside out, as was the room itself. Which had housed a woman named Miko? It had been the first time Lunaria had used her power of her own free will, to heal the woman.

It had been a different kind of feeling to help someone with her powers instead of mass killing with them. Which had her curling her lip in contempt. Holy powers, that which was used by the Angels of heaven. A laudable fantasy in simple people's minds. No, it was not a pretty power. Of course, it could heal, but it had a deeper, much darker purpose. One that made her loath herself and the power she had. She had stood bloodied above friends, family, and enemies on a battlefield. And those that were killed could never be reincarnated because of that same power... it was a curse, not a blessing. And right now it would keep the boys, whom she belonged to at bay for fear of being killed. A thing she wouldn't do.

But fear, she had learned the easy, yet hard way, was a powerful thing. And once it took root it was nigh on impossible to get rid of. Sure they looked at her, talked nicely to her. She was not stupid, she could see their aura's and souls. It was only for the sake of getting the rights to her bed and blood. There'd never be any love between them and her, just a mild acceptance that was more tolerance. She knew it just like she knew the back of her hand. Very intimately.

'On my knees in the light, saying prayers in the street light.'

With a shake of Lunaira's head as she moved towards the dock, Ruki peeked into the room. Seeing sharp claw marks in the stone wall. Places burned black while all the furniture was in splinters or dust. Leaving Ruki feeling fear at whoever had done it. Because the residual energy that lingered mingled with the holy power of Lunaria's.

He tore his gaze away from the disaster that had been a room once to look at Lunaria. Who had come to a halt on the little dock? A pale white halo surrounding her body. His instincts had Ruki rushing forward to grab her shoulder just as the halo grew in size and intensity. Leaving him feeling as if his body was disintegrating on a molecular level. In seconds it was over, the light was gone, allowing him to see the sandy shore of the blake. Sepia and gray trees before he looked down at Lunaria. Who was looking up at him in confusion? Her face a mask of pain and sorrow. Her eyes were dull, almost lifeless. And what he saw in their depths gave him the knowledge of why Tician was so very possessive and protective of her.

Ruki felt his body react on autopilot. Pulling her to his chest, making shushing sounds, as he stroked her hair from crown to shoulders. All while holding her. Finally understanding what his father had told him after seeing the man do it for his mother. That his wife's happiness and health were more important than his own. If he believed in god, Ruki knew he'd pray.

'Look at the situation they got me facin'.
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets.'

It didn't take long, but he felt Lunaria's body shudder as the first muffled sob reached his ears. Closing his eyes Ruki held her close to his body. Extremely uncomfortable but wanting to give her comfort. A thing that was foreign to him. Since he was used to pain of all kinds. Both giving and receiving. Sighing, Ruki knew that it would be wrong to let her make a mess of herself where the others could see her.

"Lunaria, I was raised that it was inappropriate for a woman to cry in public. That it was a private thing. I suggest we move to the confines of the cabin," he said, keeping his voice soft.

There was no brilliant flash or pain to his eyes this time. But his body felt unbalanced as it once more seemed to break apart at the molecular level again. Only a second later to be standing on the front steps of the cabin. His stomach flopped as he looked down at the dark-haired girl in his arms. Seeing her sway as her face turned almost gray.

Not thinking, Ruki scooped her up just as she passed out. Recalling hours ago the same reaction but after a larger use of her powers. It had him knitting his brow in thought as he turned to open the cabin's front door to find it already open. As if it had read his mind. which he'd think on later, his unconscious cargo came first.

'I'm living life, do or die, what can I say.'

Time seemed inconsequential after he'd gotten to his room. Only to realize he couldn't put her in her own room. And he didn't want to let her go, let along out of his site. so, the logical conclusion was his room. Where he'd sat on his bed, removed both his and hers shoes before climbing onto the bed, leaning back against the pillows and headboard. Shifting Lunaria so she was stretched out beside him. Though she had her fist lightly grabbing his tear and snot soaked shirt in a death grip. Keeping him from moving on leaving.

Especially after Lunaria herself shifted so she was resting with her face half buried in his stomach, arms wrapped very securely around his waist and her body nestled between his legs. making it a bit awkward when she'd shift a bit to snuggle closer to him or nuzzle his stomach when he stopped running his hand through her hair. Making him contemplate if he could die from trying to reign in his bodies natural response. He had not been physically with a female since Yui had been returned after killing the Tsukinami's.

'Tell me why we are so blind to see.
That the ones we hurt are you and me.'

Lifting his eyes from the book he was reading, Ruki glanced at his bedroom door. Nonplussed at seeing the others there looking at him. Some with jealousy, others amusement or understanding. While three had a look of relief mixed with being thankful. Giving a small smile, Ruki returned to his book. Hearing a few displeased hisses and growls, mixed with chuckles. Not caring if he angered anyone. Ruki wanted to continue reading the book. It was a plethora of information. Information about Eternia, it's creator and her family. When he felt the others leave but one, Ruki peeked over. Seeing Tician leaning against his door frame. A smile curling her lips, making her odd eyes dance.

"You may enter," he said softly, not wanting to awaken Lunaria.

"Somehow I have the feeling she did not let you go long enough to acquire these tombs," Tician said, humor brightening her voice.

Lifting his head, Ruki smiled, "No." was all he replied.

She gave a deep, throaty laugh as she tried to sit on the edge of his bed. Only to move back at a soft threatening growl. Surprising him as he saw amusement, irritation, and hurt flicker across Tician's face.

"That means you figured out how the cabin works," she stated. "You going to tell the others?"

Narrowing his eyes in thought, Ruki finally shook his head no. He had contemplated explaining it to them. But decided it'd be more fun to see their reactions at discovering it on their own. It was not his place to teach them. And he'd deal with them realizing he knew all along.

"I know, you know. Why you are so zealous about protecting her," he said turning to the next page in the book.

The way Tician's eyes widened and then narrowed had him shiver. It was purely predatorial. And not the kind that could be construed as a sexual invitation.

"I won't say anything. No, instead I understand and want to help protect her," He quickly responded in a whisper. "That and where your half-brother is concerned. Lunaria didn't just love him. No, she was very much in love with him, wasn't she?"

The small sigh that escaped Tician's lips at his words before she closed her eyes and nodded her head, yes. There was no way Ruki could miss the pain being shown so clearly on her face.

"Mother had expected after Michael arrived for them to make a match. Until Michael made it very clear who his heart belonged to," Tician replied. "Lunaria didn't mind too much. We've always called Ryu's sister Anya, auntie. But when we learned that it was a huge blow. Lu-lu was close with those two."

Filing away what Tician said, Ruki realized that Lunaria had to feel like shit. Losing more people she cared about.

"Don't worry. This was par for the course. She loves so freely but doesn't love at all," Tician replied as if reading his thoughts. "And she is yours for the night. Here are her rules: No touching her scars. No touches or acts that can be construed as intimate or sexual in nature. No drinking her blood. And lastly, respect her space and body."

He snorted rudely at the last one. If anything, he should be demanding she respect his. But Ruki was secretly enjoying being snuggled by her. Even if it had adverse effects. Those were simple rules to follow.

"Ruki, thank you for being there for her. She puts on a brave face and smile. But when she awakes, Lu-lu will be excited at having a niece. Just hope Red... I mean Ayato is capable of dealing with her being overly protective," Tician said, giving a dark chuckle as she leaned over, lips pursing to give him a kiss.

There was a bright flash of light, followed by the smell of burning skin and another low growl. Frowning Ruki looked down at Lunaria who was practically squeezing him with her arms as her face turned towards Tician. Who just made a noise at the back of her throat. Clearly not amused at being attacked by her unconscious sister. Though the message was delivered, loud and clear.

"Good night Tician," he whispered, returning his attention to the book, silently dismissing her. Earning a soft laugh as she exited the room.
