Matsu stepped out of the blackness that was now Rin's mind. His connection had been cut, how bothersome. He hoped the poor girl was alright, and he seriously hoped that he hadn't caused her any harm. Pouting for a moment, Matsu continued his walk about the dream world of the netherworld. It wasn't very nice to be perfectly honest. The netherworld people didn't have some of the problems which plagued the service dwellers, and that seemed to be a small factor. His tails swishing about as he walked, Matsu peered into a few people's minds, most of the guard had the opinion of "live for honour, die for your lord" a very simplistic view, but a strong one, however their minds were not honed specifically.
Smiling, Matsu remembered the one person here that had a very strong control over his mind Kyo's grandfather. Though that man had to deal with the treachery of his own cabinents his mind was in fact fairly strong and well-maintained. But, no point in bothering him at this place in time, that would simply be rude.

Hayabusa Josh's second in command rushed to the elf.
Friend, there is a man in our bettalion trying a mutiny, he is a soldier, and says that his right for free speech allows him to do this, i did not want to cut him down without your permission first.
Josh's ears pricked, he had been looking over old maps in his tent, now the news of a revolt against him shook him from his serene state.
"one soldier you say"
yes, but he seems to have talked 3 more round to his way of thinking
Josh's eyes narrowed and he inclined his head towards the exit of the tent.
"then we shall pay this revolt a visit!"

islanders_CO39 When she heard Matsu's voice in her head, she tensed up in Kyo's arms, not really recognizing who it was. She tried to respond, however, the connection was cut when she started going into convulsions. Her breathing stopped as she glew in a pure white aura, which soon turned black. Something round and black, surrounded with the same aura, tore itself from her body, some sort of spirit possession. Sprouts of white light exploded through the room, an image of Rin and Tahaya's mother appeared, dressed in white with silver armor. Looking down upon her daughter and her son-in-law, nodded to Kyo with a smile and vanished, the possessive spirit exploding. The angelic form almost lingered a bit after, but when it was completely gone, Rin lay in Kyo's arms with her head resting back on his arms...her breathing stopped. Kyo was aware only of bright shining light, that lasted but a second, and suddenly he felt Rin stop breathing. he lay her on the bed and shook her his panic growing,"Rin say something, dont leave me yet!" than he turned around almost hysterical,"DOCTORS, ANYONE!" several attnedants and a doctor rushed in and stared,"Dont just stand there help her!" he screamed,"Rin cmon say something..."

Despite Kyo's efforts, nothing happened. She laid there on the bed as minutes passed by, not breathing, moving, or speaking. Rin appeared to be dead and most people who were in the room awaited his reaction.

Rin appeared to be dead and most people who were in the room awaited his reaction. kyo saw her eyes were open. They were faded and lifeless, and the doctor came over and shut them. Kyo fell to his knees, his body went numb, and he just knelt there unmoving, simply staring, not knowing anytinhg, than gradually, he started to ahve what sounde dlike convulsions, and his head fell onto Rins Stomach and he began to sob, tears pouring down his cheeks.

Both Hayabusa and Josh took long strides, Hayabusa was directing them to where one person was trying to cause an uprising.
"these are difficult times, a person can switch his way of thinking in an instant, if someone offers them what they want to hear."
Hayabusa only nodded, he didnt really care for psychology or politics for that matter, he was in this army for the heat of a battle.
They were nearing the site and Josh could already hear the soldiers yells for mutiny. Hayabusa wavered his cape and rested his palm across his double handed sword.

She lay on the bed, the attendants and doctor around, Kyo was crying heavily his tears falling onto her kimono. Kyo's grandfather had been called into the room upon Rin's death and he looked as his grieving grandson and then to his dead granddaughter-in-law. The old man came to stand beside Kyo, his hand resting on his shoulder as her beagn to cry silently as well.

Alls he could think was that she was dead. This made him sob even harder, and he looked up at her face, and kissed her mouth softly, before taking her hand and sobbing even harder.

After a while, a warm light glow softened the features of the room which would catch anyone's attention...even Kyo's. Rin's mother was there again, her gold eyes showing sympathy for her son-in-law. She held what looked like a small diamond in her hands which glew in a brilliant violet aura. As the glowing brightened, Rin's image, which happened to be her soul, appeared. Her eyes were silver instead of gold, but everything else was the same despite her white clothing. However, as the diamond embedded itself within Rin's heart, her spirit's eyes became gold once again and floated down into her body. Rin's chest started rising and falling as her golden eyes fluttered open, her skin was no longer pale. She was not an angel, but she was back as a demon to be with Kyo. Her mother had trapped her soul in the diamond, saving it from any judgement to be passed and re-embedded it within Rin.

"I am sick and tired of waiting, we were put in this army for a reason, to kill, if they take that privelage from us, then what are we?
We are just dogs
Two men raised slight cheers as if they agreed with the man, Josh just looked on distainfully. He would not let one man take down such a well formed bettalion. He stepped forward through the crowd with Hayabusa following closely
"patience is a virtue, it would do you well to learn that"
"Ahhh here is our so called leader, if you can call him that, who even elected him, just because he helped us on the battlefield"
"I helped you in time of need, and you accepted me as your general.
There are many other bettalions in the Ico rebel army, join another one if this is your attitude. In fact why are you so quick to undermine my skills, do you seek the position for youself?"
"I will not leave, and if a new leader is to be elected then yes, i will take it, for I know i will do better than you."
"Then come and take what you think is rightfully yours, strike me down if you can and become this groups leader"
100 men eagerly looked on to see the outcome of this scene. The lone soldier smirked down at Josh from the table he was on, he gripped the hilt of his sword and gestured for Josh to make the first strike.
Just as Josh pulled 'overlord' from its sheath, a blue blur flew past him.
It was an enraged Hayabusa, wielding his double handed sword. Within an instant the soldier trying a mutiny was on the floor clutching a stump where his right leg one was. Hayabusa had aimed a strike at the soldiers leg and the shear wait of the sword had ripped the leg in two leaving a crude wound.

Kyos eyes stared unbelieving,"Rin..."he blinked, before it suddnely dawned on him,"Your...alive. YOUR ALIVE!" he jumped and hugged her tightly, and kissed her fiercl, tears still pouring down his cheeks,"I thought id lost u..."meanwhile Kyos grandfather looked at Rin solumnly,'Rin my dear is there something you should be telling us about your mother?"he dismissed the servants who muttered amougst themselves.

Zersilo remained atop his castle, gathering the energies from the wind, his staff would now be stronger, and very difficult to break. This pleased Zersilo greatly, for his staff was arguably the best staff at channeling energies in this world. He had worked on it added charms, strengthened it, and did everything possible, he even had his brother kill a dragon to use it's blood. Of course after they had killed it, Zersilo had raised it from the dead as a zombie dragon, it was slightly less powerful, but it would get the job done.
Smiling his devilish smile, Zersilo, stepped down from the top of his castle and dropped back into his room, working on a formula to make skeletons stronger, and the need of armour less substantial.

Josh looked onwards amazed as Hayabusa seathed his sword and turned to him.
I am sorry, yet he deserved that, you shouldnt have to trouble yourself with insignificant minors.
"i understand, and that show will not leave a soldiers mind, it will be a while before another person tries a revolt."
Josh gave a slight smile which quickly turned to an emtionless glare.
He looked to his soldiers and told them to get to their posts. They started to shuffle and soon they had dispursed themselves.
Josh overlooked the man on the ground now. He was cluthing his stump, writhing in agony.
Blood was spurting from the wound and the man was getting paler and paler.
"have you learnt your lesson"
"Y..y...yes" He squealed.
Josh got up from his crouched position and started to walk away, then with the loudest shout he coulf, he barked the order
"MEDDIIIIICCC!!!"

The loud cries of men in the encampment woke Akuma with a jolt. "Were they under attack?" he thought almost panicked. "Why didn't I sense it?" He quickly rose to his feet and his blanket fell in a lump on the hard ground covered in dew. He surveyed he scene and soon realized that they were not under attack, but rather attacking themselves. "Better stay out of it," Akuma thought, "The last thing they need is a demon to blame things on." He was still curious as too the reason of this outburst and decided to climb the tree he was sleeping against for a better view. As far as he could tell, one man was writhing on the ground in pain, while the second in command stood over him. "He hasn't got a chance," smirked Akuma in delight. Battle always thrilled him.

As Josh was walking away, his ears pricked and he looked back over the scene, he surveyed a tree, yet saw nothing out of the ordinary, he relied on his elven ears now to try and hear anything out of place.
