Welcome to Gaia! ::

((OOC: Because Kiri is pissed and started a FISTFIGHT. What? If someone punched you, you'd take a steak knife out and slash at their face? This is no different that any other rp in this guild or beyond. The move was completely uncalled for--just be aware that Squall will have to suffer the consequences of the blow. I realize that I should've put this in the OOC thread...but a point needs to be made.))

((OOC: What do you think we're trying to do--mow the lawn?! xd And we're off!))

Kiri didn't even flinch, he'd administered and received far worse during the years of training he'd had. "I'm the hot head?" He asked, "I don't see that I'm the one insulting a defenseless child." His voice returned to the mocking purr he had used whilst fighting his brother.

"I would have hoped I wouldn't need to do this," He deactivated his mask with a small flick by his mouth and nose. "But you leave me no choice," This said he let a breath out, hoping Kumo would keep the others back as he paralysed this annoying pain in the backside. He let out a gout of red toned breath.

His breath could instantly paralyse, there was no immunity or defense against it; unless Squall stood down he was paralysed until someone had the 'compassion' to save him, given the current climate Kiri doubted anyone would do so; no one could insult an innocent child like that, no matter what they did whilst unable to control themselves.

((So let me get everything straight. PL, did you edit your Kiri post? Because the impression I got from reading it was rather open ended. O.o So unless PL actually edited it, there was no need for an auto-hit. confused ))

Squall ran up and did something no one would have ever expected, he kissed Kiri, full on the mouth.

Squall then locked his hands behind Kiri's back, binding his arms, and he wasn't going to get out of it.

What happened afterward was even more bizzare, though.

The air turned cold. Hair stood on end. Neither Kiri nor Squall were aware, but Kiri wasn't battling Squall anymore. It was something much more sinister. Much more vile.

The darkness that had entered Squall's heart picked up on the anger that Kiri was emitting. That rage brought the fiendish one to the surface. For within rage lied energy. Vibrant, suculant energy.

Since Kiri's mask no longer protected him, Squall finally had an outlet from which to drain Kiri's rage, as well as his fortitude.

Kiri's anger fed Squall, strengthened him, empowered him. And he would suck every last delicious drop from the other swordsman until there was no more left to drain.

Freya didn't answer Vivi. She clutched her stomach and didn't move, trying to steady herself. After about thirty seconds she wiped her mouth on a worn handkerchief pulled from her coat. "Give me a minute," the rat rasped. "I'll be fine."
