Looking to the bumbling two in front of him, Hideaki shook his head for a moment. Then Hikari stood in front of Aki, trying to take all of the blame, but the man wasn’t going to buy it. There was a slight grin on his face, a sinister one as he pulled the hood off of his head, revealing a new scar, one that ran from his forehead and over his left eye. But it appeared that the eye was undamaged, but while pulling off the hood with one hand the man also did something that could turn the tide of this situation.
There were very few steps, but all were useful, none wasted as the man slid around Hikari and unsheathed one of his blades, pressing it to the neck of Aki. “Oh, you will get what is coming to you Hikari, but first Aki must pay.” At that moment, the clone from outside the room came in and wrapped an arm around the Lady to pull her out of the way, not wanting her to interfere with what was going on at the moment.

Hikari's eyes grew wide as she watched Hideaki, and at how she was pulled away slightly. Hadn't Hideaki seen her hand Aki their baby? Did he plan on killing their child as well? No, he couldn't not in front of the baby. "Hideaki! You, you can't!!" Hikari screeched. "Kill!!" In a poof of smoke, Hiro turned into Ichi, and snarled as the big dog lundged out at Hideaki with his large fangs ready to bite into his throat.
Hikari swiftly, elbowed the clone in the stomach as hard as she could, hoping to destroy it or something so she too could get away and help defend Aki-kun. Hideaki had obviously lost his mind, though he still had some right to take their lives. She wasn't loyal, and neither was Aki, they still didn't deserve to die.

There was a quick change of momentum, but even that didn’t get Hideaki’s hopes down. The smile still appeared on the face of the man, even with the angry dog bearing down on him. But there was no hesitation as he ran through a series of hand seals, and with a cloud of smoke, the real man appeared behind Hikari while the other one found himself pinned down by the dog. It almost appeared as if nothing happened, but then he ran through another series of hand seals, that’s when something major happened.
The false moon seemed to vanish as another clone appeared in the room. There was a smile on it’s face as well, but with the positioning of it all, Hideaki wrapped an arm around Hikari’s throat, not squeezing her but preventing any further movement by her while the clone unsheathed one of its swords and went straight for the throat of Aki. Of course the blade was aimed to miss the baby, and there was an empty arm that the clone could use to catch the baby, should the attack hit its target.

In the blink of an eye, Aki was holding Hiro. The next blink, Hideaki was holding something sharp to his throat. The next one, Hikari was trying to stop him. And so the blinking went, and so things changed constantly until Aki knew he had to move or he'd be dead and Hiro, he had no clue what would happen to the little boy in his arms if Aki died while Hiro was in them. With his upper arm, he held Hiro to his chest as he made a flurry of handseals, whispering "Electric Disappearance" and was sent disappearing in blue shocks, of his won electric charge, to the other side of the room, out of harms way for a moment.
In that split moment of "safety" Aki set the baby down and did another set of seals, saying "Electric Wall" a small electric cage appeared around Hiro, he was safe on the inside, nothing would hurt him. Aki then took a deep breath and took two steps away from the baby. His hands were now free to do as many seals needed. He had no intention of killing but if he had to save another's life by taking Hideaki's, he wouldn't hesitate.

Hikari blinked slightly. Hideaki was now the one holding her in place while Ichi tried to bite at the first clones throat. Aki had set her child in some sort of barrier, and then again Hideaki created another clone. It was all so confusing to her. She just wanted to close her eyes and open them, hoping things were how they used to be. She did just that, closing her eyes tightly, before opening them again. Things were still messed up.
She didn't struggled to get out of Hideaki's grip, she just stood there, watching, and only hoping there was someway to get out of this without anyone's lives being taken from them. "..Hiro is going to be so screwed up after this..." She mumbled as she hung her head slightly. Hikari brought her head back up to watch Aki.

Hideaki watched Aki move the baby and put the baby in a protective field. That was a good thing, it meant that he could be even more reckless now than he was before. Soon the clone began to run through a series of handseals until what seemed to be a rope appeared from his hands heading towards Aki’s legs. The rope was made from the power of the moon, not easily broken and if successful, the man would find himself on the ground while the clone was moving in again, this time the sword was aimed at the neck of the man.
Meanwhile Hideaki kept his arm around Hikari with a grin on his face. Soon he leaned in and whispered in her ear. “Hope you like seeing your lover die, Hikari-chan.” There was some emphasis on the last part of his comment, trying to rub in the fact that they used to be lovers, but now it appeared that she moved on, taking everything he had with her.

Hikari breathed in deeply before closing her eyes once more. " It'll be wonderful, Hideaki. You sure do know how to please me still." She said sarcastically. "I sure do hope our son is exactly like you..." Hikari shook her head in disappointment. This was pathetic. Ichi's head quickly jerked up and he looked up at Hikari as if asking what to do next. The woman gave a slight nod to the dog before turning her head to one side to look at Hideaki.
"Why don't you just let him go Hideaki?" She said softly. "Let him go, and I'll let you do whatever you want to me...Kill me, rape me, whatever...Just please...He doesn't need to pay for this..." Hikari growled lowly as she began to think. "I mean...come on... I left you for three says...its understandable that you didn't move on...You were gone for so long, and I was worried...Then news broke out about you being dead, and I was going to drink myself to death after our child was born...But Aki comforting me in a way that really comforted me...is a crime now?" Ichi quickly turned, and pounced at the next clone, the one aiming for Aki again.

The sarcasm of Hikari rung in Hideaki’s ears as he turned his head to look to her. Slowly he just shook his head and then watched as Ichi began to pounce at the other clone who quickly moved out of the way of the dog, removing the blade from Aki’s neck. Hideaki then sighed and shook his head, releasing Hikari and turning towards the door. Once he got to the door, he stopped but didn’t turn around. “Aki, you are lucky to have a lady like that.” After his words, he performed a single seal and vanished in the light of the moon.
The clone that was still outside had made its way towards the building, performing a series of hand seals before holding his hands out towards the window, blasting a ray of moon light towards the back of Aki. If all went well, Hideaki’s leaving would provide enough of a distraction so that neither one of them would see it coming, and if that didn’t work, there was always the other clone who stood in the way of the beam, vanishing at the last possible moment, leaving Aki open for the blow.

Hikari gave a small sigh of relief as Hideaki left. She truly believed that the worst was over.She was in the mist of walking over to Aki, to make sure he was alright. Then she saw what appeared to be a moonbeam shoot out toward Aki. Hikari's mauve eyes grew wide, and her feet moved almost instantly. "Aki-kun!!"
Hikari had became much faster since Hiro's birth and quickly she pushed Aki out of the beam's way. She took the moonbeam head on, in place of Aki. She let out a shriek of pain. Hit. Wound. Death. The three words echoed through her mind as the beam penetrated through her body. Along with those three words was one simplier one, love. Hideaki's first plan hadn't worked, instead of Aki laying on the floor now, it was Hikari. She was just merely unconscience, hand holding onto her new wound.

Aki gave a sigh of relief as Hideaki left. As he turned to face Hikari, she was pushing him to the ground, taking what seemed to be a beam of moonlight. Well, it was powerful enough to send her reealign to the floor, unconsious. Aki's eyes widened in horror. He fell to her side, on his knees.
He took her in his arms, tears peircing his eyes. "Hikari!" He yelled a few times, over and over again. "Hikair! Wake up!" He yelled. "You need to heal yourself..." He cried as he held her, sheaking, trembling and her body moving with his, non-responsive is how it seemed. "Please..." He begged softly. A tear slid down his cheek and onto her's. /How could...this..happen?/ He asked himself. "He didn't mean to kill you...that beam..was for me" He told her softly, almost like he was telling himself.

There weren’t any regrets from the former lord. He had set up a plan that was not to fail and it would take out his future lover’s love. Hideaki continued to walk out of the door, but only to stop in his tracks when he heard Aki’s voice, not Hikari’s. The plan had failed, she had seen through the distraction and the clone. It was all becoming all too surreal for the man and now he was frozen in his tracks, all of his clones gone. What had he just done? He had just killed the one woman he would ever love and still loved, despite what had happened.
Hideaki had enough strength in him to walk away from the door and down the hall only a few steps until he slid to the ground, pulling his knees to his chest. His hands were on his head and the man now had no more purpose in life. He lived for Hikari, everything he did was for her and despite her treating him how she did after his rumored death, and he still loved and wanted to be with her. There was no more of that now, but instead he was alone again. Things were like they were before he had met her, but this time he knows what true love feels like, he knows what emotions are.
A silent sigh escaped the man’s lips as he continued to sit in the hallway, almost ready for Aki to come out and to avenge his lover. At this point, Hideaki couldn’t blame the man and he was ready to accept any fate that would come to him. He had no more reason to live; he had nothing left on this world to stay alive for. Their child, Hiro didn’t even know him, probably thought Aki was his father, Ichi, there’s no way that the dog would trust him again, and he lost his love, he lost his life.

Hikari’s life slowly was slipping away like that of the sands in an hour glass. As she lay in Aki’s arms her mind raced, picking up bits and pieces of her life that seemed to have the biggest impact on it.
-Flash backs- Pushing her body close to Hideaki’s, Hikari wrapped her arms around his neck loosely before giving him a kiss dead on the lips. She believed that she was going too fast but she was enjoying it. As the kiss was broken, she rested her forehead against his and said. “You’re very welcome.”// Hikari clung to Hideaki. “I love you Hideaki-kun! I truly do!” She said happily, not wanting to let him go and Hideaki did the same. “And I love you Hikari.” // Hikari cuddled the little brown puppy in her arms lovingly. “Aw! I love him already, Hideaki-kun! And I think I’ll call him Ichi.” She said softly as she looked back up to her love. “Thank-you so much!” “Don’t thank me. Thank the man that gave us him.” Hideaki said as he looked back to the man. Hikari’s gaze went to the man sitting in the chair. “Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! You’ve truly made my day!” She said happily.// "Well, Hideaki-kun...I..I love you very very much and I have been hiding something from you for awhile now." She admitted. "Hideaki...What I'm trying to say is..that I found out that I'm pregnant," Once Hikari had finally said it, she closed her eyes tightly awaiting his response hoping it was not a bad one. Hideaki took in a deep breath and smiled brightly. "That's great Hikari. Really it is." He was being sincere in his words, though he was hesitant about the whole thing. Thinking he had said the worst possible thing, Hikari bursted into tears and latched onto him. "No, please don't leave me. I'm sorry, but you helped too, and I'm scared to do this by myself--" She cried slowly stopping her sentence once it finally got into her mind that he was actually happy about it. She tilted her head to one side before smiling slightly. "Are you sure? I don't think its at all great." she said softly. “I can barely run what’s left of my clan...how am I supposed to deal with a child?"// "Hikari?" He said as he walked to her. He couldn;t believe she was there too. He scratched the bakc of his head. "Hey!" He said happily as he got to her. Hikari's glance shot over at Aki and Kiyoko as she heard voices and Ichi started to growl. Quickly she was up, and wrapped her arms around the two of them. She started to cry once more. "No. I've missed you guys! I thought you two were dead!" she cried as Ichi got up from his spot, tail wagging happily. Aki and Kiyoko hugged her back. Aki and Kiyoko had tried to act as if nothing had happened to Tsuki. It wasn't working well and with Hikari like this let's say the flood gates had been opened. Aki found himself slightly crying on his friend's shoulder. // “I’m truly sorry! I’ll do anything to make it up! I swear to you!! Please, Hideaki-kun, please!” Hikari cried as she snuggled into him. “Please.. I need you. I love you!” // Mrs. Tebisu brought around the newborn to his tired mother. “It’s a boy!!” Her mother exclaimed happily. Hikari smiled weakly as she took the baby in her arms holding him closely. “And he looks just like his daddy.” Hikari said as she held the baby close to her. // “Due to the disappearance of Lord Hideaki, we have appointed you as Lady of Kibougakure until his return or until we know for sure about the rumors.” Elder Myou said. Hikari bowed slightly. “Thank-you. It is an honor, I will do my best.” She said softly before turning to leave.// "So, Hikari, how's the baby? What is the baby? What's the name of the baby?" He fired off at her, making, what he thought, was small talk. "Its not like I'm having another one.." She said softly. "Not for a long time...And he's fine...Its a boy, and his name is...I haven't named him yet..I've been calling him Baby-boy...I really hadn't had the time to name my own child." She rested her head on a hand as she became deep in thought. "...Hiroshi...I like that name...Kurosu Hiroshi...Or just Hiro...I think I like Hiro better than Hiroshi...So yeah...Kurosu Hiro.."// Soon she moved herself so that she was hovering above him, well, just her torso that is. She smiled as she leaned down, and kissed him passionately. And then he knew she was above him, as he was about to open his eyes at what prank she was going to pull, she kissed him. His eyes didn't open in panic, like they were going to, but in surprise. In surprise that she was kissing him, in surprise that he was wrapping his arms around her waist and in surprise that he was kissing back.// “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. -end of flashbacks-
As the flashbacks ended, a single tear rolled down her cheek and stayed there. The light had finally left Tebisu Hikari. Her chest finally quit rising and falling. Death. What a wonderful way to go. A week after her child’s birth, after one night of sex, seeing the person you love, and saving your best friend/ lover’s life. Ichi whimpered loudly as he nudged his mother with his nose, and Hiro began to cry once more.
(( holy hell its long...Thats pretty much all he rmemories though. xP Enjoy!))

Aki continued to hold onto Hikari, holding her close. He cried over her, knowing what had happened. His body shook with his tears. It was too real. Too fast. Too devasting. Hikari couldn't have died. Aki couldn't accept this.
"Hikari, wake..up" He tried to yell, but what came out was a voice seeped with pain and anger. Anger at Hideaki and himself. "Wake...up" He pleaded as he contined to cry and shake. Soon his voice was gone and he was just sobbing. He soon realized he had to accept that she was gone. That she wasn't going to wake up. That his best friend/lover was truley gone and it just sent him to more body-shaking tears. Aki only ever cried one before in his life and it was for death, such as this one. It was for the death of his parents. Hikari had been there for him and this time, she wouldn't be.
Aki stood up, holding Hikari in his arms still. He looked to the crying Hiro sadly. Hiro reminded him of Kiyoko in an odd way. He walked over there and layed Hikari next to the cage. He then undid that and picked up the crying baby. "Shhh.." He told him. "Shhh" He continued to say, rocking him back and forth, much like he had done with Kiyoko. One hand holding Hiro, the other one traced Hikari's face, the moonlight illiumanting it. He cursed softly under his breath. The blasted moonlight. It made him think of Hideaki and what had happened.
Aki walked out of the room, still holding Hiro. He had covered Hikari with a blanket from the room. He couldn't handle it anymore. He soon found Hideaki in the hallway, looking as sad as Aki. Aki's voice didn't seem to exist at all anymore. He stared at Hideaki with a sadness and an anger, wishing looks could kill. All the while, he continued to rock Hiro like it was the natrual thing to do.

The sight of Aki holding Hideaki’s child was just what was needed to complete the snapping of the former lord’s mind and emotions. Not only did the man feel comfortable with his former love, but with his own and only child. Soon Hideaki switched places with the clone that stood outside and went through a series of hand seals. “This is going to end it, right here, right now.” And almost as soon as his words ended, the calamity happened.
A blast came down from the moon towards the building. Upon contact, there would be nothing left of the structure save for a crater in the earth six feet deep. There were now no emotions left in the man. He had gone full circle back to how he originally was, except now, he knew anger, he knew anger and revenge and had extracted those two things on the people who he loved the most.

Aki's eyes widened in horror as Hideaki snapped again. /No/ was all he could think. He wasn't going to let Hiro die. He could care less about his life now, but he was not going to let Hiro die. Not when he was supposed to be prtecting him, if only for the moment. He ran back to the room as thye ceiling began to fall down. He layed Hiro ontop of his mother and got as close to Hikari and Hiro as possible. He then began to make the handseals.
"Electric Wall" He muttered as a furry of blue sparks made a small dome around the three bodies. Hiro, Hikari and Aki. Aki, for once, didn't know how long it would keep up, under these circumatsances. He could only hope it would lats till the end. As he was making the dome, a large piece of ceiling had landed on his shoulder, breaking it, but the pain was numbed by the adrenline for the moment. He just had to sit it out. He picked up Hiro. He didn't know why, but holding him calmed Aki down. He held Hiro to his chest and closed his eyes. He didn't want Hiro to see anything and Aki didn't want to see anythign either.
