Betrayal leads to Death

[Reborn]

A fateful return, that should be the title as this all links to fate. Hideaki, the former Lord of Kibougakure returns with a chip on his shoulder. After leaving on a mission, all thought he was dead, his former love, Hikari seemed to be occupying her mind with other things, including men. Even one who he thought was his friend. This angered the man further and with his blades sheathed along his back, the man was coming with a vengance.

Upon entering the gates, Hideaki glanced to the posted guards, seeing the confusion on their faces before storming his way towards the Lords/Ladies office. After going through a series of handseals, a fake moon appeared in the sky alongside the normal moon and a grin soon grew over the face of the man, but it was hidden by the hood of the cloak which he decided to wear again.

Once the moon was in the sky, at its highest point, the man went through another series of handseals, creating clones of himself and the three began to run towards the Ladies office all by rooftop and all at different angles, keeping an eye out of the 'friend' that is going to pay for his betrayal.

Aki had been awake in the bed Hikari and Aki had shared last night for a while now. They had also shared a bit more. He didn't know what he was feeling. Used, hated, loved. He had no clue what to think. He didn't know if he should regret what happened or like it. He was drunk, yes. He had feeling for Hikari, yes. But what those feelings were, he didn't know. The boy was confused.

Then, Mrs. Tebisu's words came to him. "Keep it in your pants" is what she said. He looked down. Now, it seemed more like a warning then a threat. Like something bad would happened if he didn't keep it undercontrol.

Aki looked out of the window, thinking looking up atthe brilliant moon would help him. The moon, it had always helped him but now there were two moons. /What?!/ He screamed in his head, so not to wake up Hikari. /I must..still be..hungover/ He thought. And indeed, he did have a headache but not from drinking, from pure confusion. And the two moons just added onto to that. He was actually hesistent about getting closer to the window. "What is wrong with me?" He mumbled, maing a myriad of things.

[Reborn]

There didn't seem to be anything in the way of Hideaki and his goal. The streets were practically empty, the glory of a new village. A smile grew over his lips as the real man and the two clones all converged on the building that housed the Lady. He knew what he should see, and that was the body of his 'friend' laying in bed with his love, or at least his old love and soon the three were all on top of the building in question before two backed off a bit, trying to find which window was hers.

Meanwhile one of the clones began to unsheath its swords and the other clone was going through a series of hand seals, holding two shuriken in its hands. It was almost time to make the move. First target would be the 'friend' Then it would be the Lady. He was now considered a missing nin, being past dead and then bringing himself back from the dead. This was the reward he got for trying to help out his village. He was cast out and forgotten. But now his name would live on, it had to live on.

A well hidden figure was watching Hideaki for a little time now and as he moved to the office, this figure ended up in the trees in the area of the office. Watching everything that was happening he could not believe it, Lord Hideaki? Surely it was a mistake but his eyes were always so keen.

Looking to the office window and the procedure that he was going through the Jounin of this own village, Yukio seem to smileThere are going to be deaths today thinking. For everything he knew and his great mind, he inferred that he was out for revenge going to kill his Mistress and the person that slept with her. Frankly, Yukio could understand Lord Hideaki's feelings for it would be the same for him in such a situation.

Surely this village was one he grew powerful in but it seems that Yukio would be better off leaving the village if possible after this for Lord Hideaki truly was a man of great power and would most likely kill the lady and the other man.

Hikari stirred slightly in her bed as the sudden sound of Hiro's soft, yet shrill cries started to come about. As her eyes fluttered open, she began to sit up straight until she had to pause to hold her head. /Great..Another hangover/ The Lady thought as she slid out from under the heavy blanket, reaching for her clothes that lay scattered across the bedroom floor. She too wasn't exactly sure what events had occured the night before. Soon Hiro's cries became louder as Hikari finally reclothed herself and Hikari could also hear Ichi's whines start to get louder as well.

"Mommy's coming boys." She muttered softly as stood up from the bed and shuffled her feet towards the bedroom door. Hikari's eyes were half open, and she hadn't even noticed Aki still in her room. As she got to the baby's room she flicked on the light and shuffled over to the baby boy's crib, peering over the side of it. She smiled slightly as she reached in, lifting her child up and rocking him slightly in her arms. "Shhh, shh Hiro..." She said in a comforting tone. Ichi's whining had stop but the dog seemed alert for some reason. Hikari just ignored it.

She shuffled over to the changing station she had set up a few days before Hiro's birth, and set Hiro down on the soft matt. She began to change her child like a good Mommy, until she started to hear Ichi start growling feircely. Hikari then started to worry. "Aki-kunn." She called softy as she fastened on the diaper and picking up Hiro so she could hold him closely.

[Ck]

Aki watched as Hikari seemed to not notice his presence, or what happened. Aki began looking out the window again, trying to avoid looking at the two moons. It made him think he was crazy but he had to look out. He knew the answers were in the endless black skies. He just had to look hard for them.

As Hikari left, Aki got up and changed into his clothes. He took his time putting them on. As if the carefullness in which he put his clothes on would help him think straight or atleast get his mjind off his current of thoughts. Except, putting on clothes didn't take much brain work and his care in puttig them on couldn't only use so much. He eventually got dressed and he heard Hikari call his name.

He didn't take care in his steps to her, instead, he seemed to rush. Worried something had happened. He had the weirdest queziness(sp) in his stomach that he knew was not from his hangover. When he reached the room he saw Hiro whining and Hikari holding him. He took hsi steps over to her slowly, as if fast movements would startle her. It was quite different from the rash movements he had made before. "Yes, Hiakri?" He asked softly with worry filled eyes. The uneasiness in his stomach grew.

[Reborn]

There were a following pair of eyes, Hideaki sensed it and as such he left one of the clones behind before him and one of the other ones leaped towards the door of the house. A jiggle of the doorknob, 'd**n.. its locked.' After a deep breath, Hideaki kicked the door in and glanced around a bit. 'I didn't want it to come to this, Aki...' He then began to run through the house while the other clone followed, a bit behind.

The clone that remained was the one with the unsheathed swords began to look around for the pair of eyes, making sure that no one interfered in the necessary action that had to be taken.

[hikari02]

Hikari's eyes immediately jolts up towards the baby's bedroom door as she heard the front door be busted down. Ichi stood up quite quickly as did the hairs on the back of the brown dog's neck. Being the protective gaurd dog that Ichi was, he immediately went out of Hiro's room to investigate the disturbance. The dog gave a feirce bark as he padded down the hallway, until spotting Hideaki-kun. Ichi's actions totally changed. He yipped happily as his pudgy tail started to wag towards his father.

Hikari took a step forward as Ichi wandered out of the room. "No, Ichi.. come back here.." She whispered before looking back up at Aki more worry filling her eyes. She listened carefully to what was going on outside the bedroom, as she heard Ichi stop barking and actually gave a playful yip, she knew it must of been someone that they trusted, but if it was someone they trusted then why was it necessary for the door to be broken down?

[Reborn]

Hideaki was a bit on edge upon hearing the dog barking. He already had his hand on one of his swords. But as soon as the dog's expression change, Hideaki's did as well as he smiled, running his hands over the muzzle of Ichi and kissing it softly. Slowly he whispered to the trusted dog. “Shh Ichi, Daddy needs to take care of a few things around the house.” All of this while the clone was still searching the bottom floor for any movement before going to the stairs. After the signal that all was clear, Hideaki kissed Ichi's muzzle once more before heading to the stairs and moving up them slowly.

Upon further thought of flying anything, Hideaki switched places with the clone, allowing it to reach the top of the stairs first while he followed slowly. The clone had his hands on his swords, looking around for Aki carefully but slowly. One couldn't be cautious at a moment like this and even the former lord of this village knew this much. Hikari could be wiley, and now that she didn't have the baby inside of her any more, that made her all the more dangerous. But would she really attack her first love, the father of her child, that was yet to be seen.

Finally Hideaki and the clone reached the top of the stairs and the clone made its way down the hall slowly, peeking in doors before coming to one where life could be felt. There was another unspoken signal and Hideaki nodded, leaning against the other end of the door frame, nodding towards the clone who swung the door open.

[Ck]

Aki's eyes immeditly shot to the door, just like Hikari's, when he heard the front door get knocked down. He listened. He heard Ichi barking but then yipping happily. Aki frowned. /Why..would anyone Ichi know, Hikari know. have to knock down the door?/ He asked himself. Aki then heard soft footsteps but he didn't know if he was imagining them. He then saw Hikari looking at him. He brought one finger to his lips.

As the door to the baby's room was swung opened, just as Aki was turning around, his eyes widened. He stepped in front of Hikari. "Who's ever out there, you may just want to leave now" He warned. "Threats against the Lady aren't taken kindly" He added. His voice clear and confident even though he was slightly thrown off by the events of the night. "You have been warned" He said.

[hikari02]

As the door swung up, little Hiro began to screech and Hikari continued to rock him in her arms. She peeked around the side of Aki as he stood in front of her, wanting to know who was in her house. Hikari growled lowly under her breath as she adjusted how she held onto the baby. "Oi...Hes right.." She announce to whoever it was outside the door. "Friend or Foe you have no right coming into my house...So reveal yourself, now." As Hikari spoke, Hiro's crying seemed to die down into a soft whimper. Ichi had followed behind Hideaki and the clone, and plopped back on his haunches looking up at his father. His head thingyed to one side wondering what was going on. The dog's tail still wagged happily.

[Reborn]

Hearing the voices from inside the room, Hideaki began to laugh slightly as the clone stayed out of the room and the real man walked into the room. “Tsk tsk, act like you don’t know who the real lord of this village is. The one who made this village and toiled over this village. I leave, trying to strengthen our village and this is the thanks that I get. My love, with my best friend, or should I say former best friend.” There was a smirk over the face of the man, an almost evil smirk as he walked towards the two, looking to Aki before lifting his hand behind his head, placing it on one of his swords.

“Now, boy, give me one reason why I shouldn’t cut you down right here? Messing with someone’s property is one thing, but messing with their love, that is an offense that is punishable by death. And if it should come to that, I will be the grim reaper and deliver you to hell myself.” Cold eyes stared out from behind the hood while the clone stayed outside, holding Ichi close and making sure the dog didn’t come in and do anything that would jeopardize what Hideaki was trying to do.

[Kaoru]

Yukio laughed"This is getting good, I wonder if Lord Hideaki is going to kill infront of the kid?"he asked himself smiling getting closer. Somewhere hidden in the building seemingly very close but it was a clone of his next to the window where the room was perfectly hidden. The real Yukio was somewhere in the in the building hearing everything from the clone.

He planned not to get too close that he would be mistaken as one to interfere. Yukio had snuck passed the clones and hid himself every time one came his way, waiting for the perfect timing to make an entrance if needed. But nobody knew his motive, or yet he did not have one?

[Ck]

Aki's eyes widened as he heard the voice of a man who he thought was dead. "Hideaki...." He mumbled to himself. Surprise, shock and other things hitting him at the same moment. Aki took a step back, forcing Hikari to take one as well, as Hideaki entered the room and walked towards them.

Aki was speechless. Part of him sided with Hideaki against his own death but then he pushed that away. He knew he didn't deserve to die. "Hideaki...we...we weren't ourselves" He said. He knew denying it would only make it worse, so he wasn't. "Alcohol and other things took over" He said calmly. Aki tried to avoid the his eyes. He could tell without directly looking into them how cold they were.

[hikari02]

Hikari's eyes widened as well. Hideaki had come home? And how did he find out about her and Aki so fast? She listened to Hideaki's threat and Aki's bumbling excuse. Slowly she stepped out from behind Aki after being pushed slightly, and then she stepped in between the boys. "Hideaki-kun...You can't take the life of someone..." She said softly as she held Hiro closer to her. "..Especially not Aki...He did nothing wrong...I did. I was the one who betrayed you again, and if anyone should be punished...It should be me..." Carefully, she kissed the top of Hiro's soft head. "I know it won't mean anything...but I'm sorry Hideaki-kun..I truly am."

Slowly she turned around, handing Hiro to Aki before turning back around. Hikari looked back up at Hideaki sadly before looking down at her own feet. "Kill me." She muttered under her breath.
