Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kale smirked insanely, then pressed his sword agaisnt his chest, drawing blood. The blood intensefied the pain he knew, he had felt it.

Kale was shocked she was here. She could've gotten hurt for God's sake! He looked down at the boy, but did as she wished. He let his sword up and let the lightning die down. He rested his sword on his shoulder and looked at Ichigo with his dead eyes, "What are you doing here? You're going to get hurt, then I'm going to kill whoever hurts you, most likey being one of my own men."

Kale frowned. That wasn't fair. She had her voice and eyes held over him. He couldn't refuse them. They were his king. He had to obey what they wanted, and they wanted him not to hurt this little brat. "Tch," He let his foot off of the boy. "Leave before I change my mind."
Quin ran to where they were, "Kale!" He yelled as one of Ichigo's men struck his shoulder.
"Damnit." He muttered as he feel to his knees.
Quin roared cutting the man down, "Don't just sit there staring at her! Get her out of here!!"
Kale shook his head getting up bleeding, "No. I'm still fighting."
He struggled, but managed to block someone's attack, still standing in front of Ichigo.

Kale glanced back at Ichigo and saw her facial expression. She hated this. And he hated to see her this way. God damnit. "Ichigo, leave. Now." He looked at her with a stern face. Quin sighed killing another. "I'll take her." He added when he saw Kale's appaled face, "I'll take care of her, Kale." He looked at Ichigo then picked up Ryuu. "Come, let's get you guys somewhere."
Kale snorted as he cut down another man. He didn't care that Ichigo was leaving him . . .Okay maybe he did in the slightest, but he mainly cared that she wouldn't be in this wreakage.

Kale popped his neck. He was still bleeding, but he would live. Anyway, he kind of liked the way the warm substance felt in the cold rain. In a really weird way, it was comforting him, making him less reckless. He killed fice more men before he just got bored. He sighed and looked around. Most of the opposing kindgom was down, he supposed he would let them rest up for another battle later. He whistled long and loud. All of his men looked at thier battle hungry lord. "Fall back men. Give them time to recover, we will be back at dawn tomorrow." He looked to the leader of the other kingdom, "I give you this time to heal the remainding men that you have, and bring more reinforcements. You're going to need all the help you can get when I come for you next." He finished coldly.

Quin took Ichigo as far away from the bloodshed as he could. Ryuu was still unconcious, but he was breathing. He looked at Ichigo, "Hey, are you all right? I don't know what happened to him. After you left . . .He stay up in his room all night. I don't even think he slept at all. Then when we were training, he denied our friendship. He said something about not having the ability to care or something like that." Quin looked genuinly concerned for Kale. "I think he's went off the deep end or something. . ."

Quin's face softened as he gently put Ryuu down. He looked at Ichigo then hugged her. "Shh. . . It's not your fault. Kale never had the feeling of love before. He is highly confused right now. He doesn't know left from right anymore. His father didn't love him, and his mother only puts up with his ways because she doesn't want the job of ruler herself." His eyes clouded over as he said, "And don't even get me started on his a** of an uncle." He let go of her the picked Ryuu up again. "Come along now, there is a hut up ahead that you two can stay in. I promise to help him recover as well." He walked along, like he didn't just tell her that Kale had feelings for her.

When they reached the hut, Quin let Ichigo in first, then laid Ryuu down on a mat. He looked around then saw a few blankets. He put one over Ryuu then gave the other to Ichigo. "Here, you'll catch a cold if you don't warm up." He looked around again seeing a fire place. He didn't see any wood, so he broke down a chair, cutting it into peices with his sword. He slipped and cut himself a few times, but he ignored it. Once he got the fire going, he looked back over Ryuu. He sat beside him, examining him. He finally ripped off his sleeve then used it to stop the bleeding. He stood then filled a bowl with water from a small sink. He took it over to Ryuu and ripped his other sleeve and soaked it than rang it out. He did his best to clean the boy up and get all the blood off of him.

Quin nodded to her, "Your welcome. Couldn't just let you two stay there in the midst of the warfare could I?" He smiled warmly. He was clearly the exact opposite of Kale, but they were best freinds somehow. Sometimes he questioned this, but he knew that he had to be there for him. He couldn't let this kid be anymore alone then he already was.
Quin looked around. "So, I suppose you might be tired, but . . . Got anythin' on your mind?"
