Completed [Bronze Woods] Where art thou, Master? (Azcadelia)

[Fubuki Kouri]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kouri wailed a banshee scream as the magical flames from Azzy burst to her face. Then K launched his fist, giving the final touch as he drove the fire through Kouri's ethereal throat, ravaging her already exhausted Soulmist. "Ga.... aaaah...." Kouri couldn't take it anymore, that attack was the last straw. Her tendrils disappeared and her dagger fell down stabbing the ground in an upright position. "Uuuuh..." Kouri fell down to her knees. Her state was truly horrible to behold, her eyes empty with a blank hypnotized expression on her face, no left arm, and half of her face was gone. "....what did I..." Her insane berserker state were quickly replaced with utter confusion. "what did I just do...." She talked to no one in particular. For all she knew, she now found herself kneeling on the ground and completely exhausted. "Sir Ki...se?... Ma... Az...?" She couldn't finish her sentence and just emptily looked upwards.

[Azcadelia]

Azcadelia Rosan

Azcadelia dismissed Kise's otherwise futile attempts to harm Kouri with his fists. The initial blows went right through Kouri but the force of the fist propelled Azcadelia ball of flame further into her. Kouri let out a fierce cry that nearly brought heartache to Azcadelia's eyes. In this time, this battle, Azcadelia had grown pity and sympathy for such a lost soul - literally. To see Kouri collapse in her shaken ethereal state was another blow to Azcadelia's more somber and nurturing side - a side seen by few.

However, when Kouri spoke out, trying to pronounce Kisetukai's and Azcadelia's names, it was a moment that left Azcadelia's heart a flutter. The emptiness in the look that the ghost child gave her was shaking in itself. It brought further weight to her shoulders at how much she had had to harm the child. "Kouri, I'm so sorry but it was for your own good. You'll come with me now, to my home, where I'll take care of you - unmolested." she said, the last bit more directed at Kisetukai in a whip like growl. "If you can stand or materialize so that Kisetukai can carry you to my apartment please do. I do not wish to stay in these woods any longer." Azcadelia took a knee, coming to eye level with Kouri. "I'll take care of you until you're better, alright? Then, we can see you off, if you want or you can stay with me for however long you wish," she said, her voice hushed, soft as if she was talking to a sleeping child.

[Kisetukai]

"Really Azzy...." K spoke out in a harsh tone. "This is pathetic..." He mumbled softly, the thought of Azcadelia's fighting nature extinguished and deflated to this. It was disgusting to the fighter, the boy who hated the thought of a warrior as herself turning motherly and sensible. He scoffed as she kneeled to talk the girl, her heart was oh so ever present in her voice. Then she glared at him like most mothers do once they see the face of their child's attacker. Letting out a chuckle, K returned the gesture with a nervous attitude and a step back. "Since when do I molest little girls?" He said shyly, looking at his hands then back at Azcadelia. He let out a sigh, becoming serious as he stepped forward to take control of the situation.

"This girl is a ghost... Someone not meant to roam this plane of existence. Personally if it was up to me, I'd have someone who specialized in the paranormal send her ass on a one way trip to where ever the hell ghost go. Most likely Lhex to be given her destined fate. However..." He finished as he also kneeled a bit, getting to their level on Azcadelia's right side, left for Kouri. "It seems you to share a bond... As does she with my brother... So I guess both of you guys wouldn't make that easy for me. So here is what I suggest and plan to enforce. This ghost needs some time to think, what does she plan to accomplish? Why is she here? If she can't find anything and feels complete then naturally I'm guessing she will pass... If she does find something however than she can stay. On the contrary however, to be sure and safe it doesn't involve innocent murder... I will ask for her goals in the future. For now... I don't think she should stay with you. It's just not right, no matter how bad you want to play mommy Azzy." 

He stood up slowly, dusting off his clothing and such. "On a side note... Why the hell should I carry her? I think your a perfectly able bodied woman, you carry your child." He began to think to himself, beginning to walk away. "Azcadelia.... Your an ass. You were almost hacked to death by a psychopathic child and yet... You wish to nuture her and see that she is emotionally stable." He gave a laugh, a laugh showing that it was definitely entertaining as he began to walk home. "Mothers are always the strangest people to me... No matter how you look at it." He finished, talking low to himself as he disappeared into the woods. These woods were starting to hold memories for him, and he couldn't lie... He was beginning to like it. But hey, everyone needs memories right? Wrong...

That's what can getcha killed.

[Fubuki Kouri]

Fubuki Kouri OOCI think Azzy's reply will end the thread. If you guys want me to post it for grading, just reply to the PM. I will wait until both Azzy and Kise gave confirmation then I'll post the thread for grading. But of course! If you guys have something to add, feel free to do so. Kouri couldn't make up the words Azzy spoke to her, nor could she hear K berating about her. All she could think right now is the warmth of two living beings in her proximity. It feel so warm... warm... Her empty eyes slowly turned to see the wound on Azzy's shoulder, blood trickling down from it. That's so red... red juices are warm, right? Then why I don't have warm red juices... One could not use logic and common sense to understand Kouri's thoughts right now, even though her psychotic part of her rampage was gone, the insane part was not. "Hehe... hehehehe..." Kouri let out a twisted happy giggle. Hearing Azcadelia's soft voice made Kouri thought she was her mother, no matter how illogical it looked. They were very different, Azcadelia had scarlet red hair and jade green eyes, Sora had raven black hair and sapphire blue eyes; even their hair length differs by a great deal. The most similar trait was perhaps they are both women. Kouri didn't care about that, she couldn't even if she wanted to. "Mama... Mama? Mama~!" Kouri slowly stood up, she approached Azzy and tried to hug her with her remaining right arm, but her movements looked like as if she had both arms. Of course, in her unmaterialized state, Kouri just phase through Azcadelia. Unlike usual, Kouri was shocked at this development and went tumbling down to the ground after she phased through Azzy, like someone who miscalculated their glomp accuracy and missed. "Ma...mama! Mama! Uuu... M-mama..." She had been reduced to a baby-like state who could only pronounce 'Mama' or 'Papa'. Perhaps knowing out of instinct that she couldn't touch Azcadelia. Kouri got up and stood very close to Azzy and making a motion to look like she was rubbing her cheek to Azcadelia's stomach. "Mama~" For the moment, she would follow wherever her 'mother' goes.

[Azcadelia]

Azcadelia Rosan

Azcadelia had her eyes transfixed on the arrogant bogart that was Kisetukai as he strutted away from the clearing that had just held so much history for the three of them. Something inside her didn't blame him though for leaving the deranged ghost and the sudden motherly Azcadelia. Even her own acts had confused her unsure of why she felt this way for a ghost that hadn't given two seconds of consideration before pulling a dagger on her and cutting her shoulder without remorse. Blood still trickled from her cut tunic's cloth the same speed as her mind had thought on what to do with Kouri in her weakened state.

Turning her attention from Kisetukai - he, now, out of sight - to Kouri she noticed her innocent but still grotesque look. A child had been formed from the weakened and deranged Kouri. This could be seen by the way the ghost had called Azcadelia her mother and attempted to snuggled with the redhaired maiden. "I'm not your mother, Kouri. But I will be for the time you are in my care. It is the least I can do for Cyrus until and if he returns," she spoke softly, more to herself than to the ghost. I do hope he returns, she thought to herself before standing. "Come, Kouri. We're going home now," she said to the ghost, her hand held out for her to take it.

[Fubuki Kouri]

Fubuki Kouri "Mama~ Mama~ Mama~" Kouri kept snuggling or rather, positioned herself to looked like she's snuggling Azzy. She heard Azzy said something to her, but her mind couldn't process the words and merely take it as Azzy making sounds to her, just like how a baby process words that she couldn't understand. "Nyo?" She tilted her head cutely, it contrasted greatly with her broken soulmist on the half of her face and missing left arm. "Mama!" and immediately snuggled Azzy again. "??" When Azcadelia hold out her hand, Kouri was confused at first, but then instinctively tried to hold her hand, she missed though as her right hand phased through her. "Uuuu..." Letting out an annoyed moan, Kouri tried again, this time motioning her right arm as to look like it was holding Azcadelia's hand. "Hehehe~" She giggled happily, a half-smile on her half-face. When Azzy began to walk, heading home. Kouri made a walking motion to follow her. That night... hearts were broken to pieces, it's unknown if Kouri ever recovered completely, back to the innocent and cheerful girl she originally was, from the event that had just transpired.
