RPG: The Week from Hell/Continuing Machias Punishment - Page 111

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-02-2002, 02:43 AM

*Don dropped his head again, and spoke to the space between his knees. His voice was flat, and tired* None I guess.

*Leonardo looked at the soup that had been moved from the heat, and glanced around the kitchen.* She may just have gone to the bathroom you know. I'll give Raph and Kali five, then I'm bringing him lunch. I'll check up on them then.

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 02:44 AM

Raphael opened the door to Splinter's bed room.

R; huh?-- KALI!!

He had her wrapped in his arms before she could utter another word.

A small voice piped up behind them.
Kya: Kali, i need to speak with you, please. it's important or i would not interrupt. Please. Now.

*terran631* · 11-02-2002, 02:50 AM

Mike: *mutters* Hope everyone lives that long.

SP: *gently* Donatello...you are a trained ninja. A trained assasain. To say "I will kill you.." for something is not a phrase to be tossed out lightly. Especially not to a family member. No matter how angry you are. Now, you lost your temper twice...once verbally and once physically. As they say.."three strikes and you're out" Should it happen again, you will be punished. Am I understood?

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 02:53 AM

*Kali rested her head on Raph's shoulder as he continued the too-tight embrace. ~Why am I leaving this?~ She thought to herself. And that's when she felt it again, that cold feeling coursing through her. Her body shivered although she'd tried to keep it in.*

Of course, Kya. *she pushed Raphael away gently and smiled at him* I'll only be a bit.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-02-2002, 02:54 AM

Don: Hai Sensei. Can....Can I have some time alone? I'm not really fit company right now.

Leo: *sighs* Mike, its one or the other with you. Either you don't know when you should speak up, or you don't know when you should shut up.

*Leo added the onion to the soup and turned off the rice*

*terran631* · 11-02-2002, 02:59 AM

SP: *sighs* Yes, I can leave you alone although I would prefer not to. Your brothers are making miso soup and rice. It seems everyone today is in need of some comfort. *looks at his son hopefully* Would you care to join us for lunch.

Mike: *sighs and then grins* Yeh..but I'm the cute one.

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 02:59 AM

kya's insides unwound a few knotches.

Kya (internal) thank god she was reasonable.

kya: since the couch is taken and i'd rather we not be interrupted anyways, would you join me in --

(internal) think think... neutral ground..

Kya: the dojo, please?

Kya turned and walked away resisting the urge to look and see if the half-demon was following her.

Raphael watched in wretched silence as kya took kali from him again...

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-02-2002, 03:05 AM

Don: Maybe in a bit. Right now, I think I'll just swim a little longer. *Don had always loved the water, and when he was really feeling down, a swim would help*

*Leonardo just chuckled, and started filling two bowls.* Well, the five minutes are up, I'll bring him lunch. *He headed down the hall with the stuff on a tray*

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 03:06 AM

*Kali felt Raph's hands linger on her skin as she left to follow Kya. ~Don't scare the girl any more than you already have. Wait to see what she wants to talk about.~ Hopefully they could get this over with quickly and she could get back to Raph*

*terran631* · 11-02-2002, 03:09 AM

SP: *nods* Very well, My Son. Have a nice swim and I will try to save you some lunch although I make no promises. *he stands and kisses Don's head lightly before walking out*

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 03:25 AM

kya sat across from kail in the dojo. she squeezed the vial of holy water in her left hand and began.

kya; kali, I know you're a half-demon. and I'm afraid that has me at a loss. My Grandmother and my mother and my family priest all taught me what to do about demons. But they never once mentioned half-demons.

When i first showed up here, you were so nice to me. Your affection for your family rang out clear as crystal. Your devotion to Raphael was nothing less than absolute. Maybe it was wrong of me, but i decided to disregard years of lessons and teaching and treat you as you treated me.

Then you come home, late at night annoucing that not only did you return to hell with the INTENT of renewing your demon powers, but that it went wrong. That's you've lost even MORE of your soul. If I've followed the events around here correctly, you broke Raphael's heart, and blamed your decisions on Donnie and I. Rapheal nearly strangled Donnie today. Rapheal himself has been unconsicous for hours....

Kali I hope you see where I'm headed with this... how much human soul is left? Are you doing this on purpose? I trust Splinter's judgement and he still welcomes you into his home. It is not my place to tell you where to be or how to live. but THEY ARE MY FAMILY NOW TOO. and if you are playing with them, then I know I could not stand by and watch.

kya smiled hopelessly.
Kya: my ancestors are laughing at me right now. I expect honest answers form a demon. the sad thing is Kali... I do still trust you. Please, tell me. How do I treat you now Kali?...

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 03:39 AM

*Kali closed her eyes and lowered her head* You have no idea how sorry I am about all the trouble I caused. I'm proud of my heritage just as you are, and I won't deny who I am.

The last thing I wanted was to hurt anyone. I didn't blame my decision on you and Donnie, that's just how Raph took it, and if I could go and take those words back I would. But still, Don's never been comfortable when confronted with my demon half, and you *smiles a bit* Do you always carry holy water around with you? And you say you trust me.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone. That's why I'm leaving, to avoid hurting people in any way. With all the depression and angst floating around here, I feel like I'm losing myself in it. And I have to get away before it consumes me, before my demon half feeds off it and destroys my human half. If that happened, I'd never be able to return to Earth.

I just wanted to do what I thought was best for everybody.

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 03:49 AM

Kya had the grace to blush and she quickly threw the vial into her bag. She followed it a moment later with the scapula from around her neck.

Kya: (smirking slightly) I'm only human... I'm sorry kali. I guess we've all got our prejudices...( she chuckled dryly) thank you for talking to me. You've made me feel so much better. Have you told Raph any of that?... (she blushed harder.) ... I bet i just dragged you from that didn't i?...

[[[[[WELL KALI... it's almost 5 am where i live. I'm off to bed. my gal's just not much of a holy warrior is she?... LOL oh well, for the best i guess GOOD NIGHT.]]]]]]

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 04:06 AM

*chuckles* Yeah, you did. But you know, I really don't mind. I feel much better about this too, now. The fact that you were willing to sit and talk with me says a lot about you. *chuckles* Leo had to be practically hit over the head before he'd listen to me after... *clears her throat and smiles* Thanks, Kya. *slaps her hands against her knees* Now, I guess I better get back to Raph before he comes looking for me.

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 12:50 PM

Kya(internal)
Is moving out really gonna help? Kali is still half-demon. Raphael is still gonna be miserable to have her leave. donnie still has bruises around his throat. Kali herself is still upset. And running away seldom fixes everything (kya had a moment of guilt as Beto's face flashed across her mind.)

but what if, sometimes retreat was the only option...? Raphael will get over her increased absences. Kali won't loose her soul completely. donnie may not get any MORE bruises.... and we won't have hell spawn in the lair. (kya smashed that thought down ruthlessly the instant it showed itself.) I said I TRUSTED HER... i want to trust her.... god, help me trust her. (in the back of her mind, kya felt a deep relief at the thought of Kali's impending move, but she wouldn't admit it. Not even to herself.)

Kya called out to Kali: If things get better around here. You know, less depression and angst.... will you come back? I mean it's your home too. Raph would certainly feel better if we kept your room set up....

(in the next breath, she confessed) Kali... um yes. If i have my bag, I do have holy water. Not cause of you, but just in case....in case ... in case it's NEEDED. (she did not apologize this time)

... kya whispered as the half-demon left: did you want any for Raphael? ... it couldn't hurt....

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-02-2002, 03:08 PM

*Leonardo headed towards Splinters room. Raphael was in the doorway, staring down the hall his expression unreadable.*

Leo: Hey. *No response* Raph. *nothing* Raphael! *now sure that he had his brothers attention, he lifted the tray.* Splinter said to bring you lunch.

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 03:16 PM

*Kali flashed a smile as she left the dojo* We'll see how things go. And Kya, I don't blame you for having holy water with you, it does tend to come in handy at times. *As she headed down the hall, Kali let out her breath in a relieved sigh. That ice-cube-down-her-shirt feeling was gone now. She saw Leo and Raph standing in the doorway of Splinter's room. She wondered if RAph had even moved since she left.*

*kyabetsu* · 11-02-2002, 05:26 PM

Raph's eyes travelled from the soup to Leo and back again. His stomach had long since begun to digest itself. But Leo had that dumb-ass "i know what's best for you" look on his face and until Kali got back, Raph was inclined to be stubborn. He stared past his brother and down the hallway. Pretending to ignore the soup. He might have been convincing if his stomach, the traitor, hadn't protested loudly right then.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-02-2002, 05:31 PM

*Leonardo didn't say anything when Raphs stomach protested the lack of movement towards food loudly. He just shrugged and walked by his brother into the room, putting the tray down on the bedside table. He took his own bowl, leaving the other for Raph and started to eat*

**Kali** · 11-02-2002, 05:35 PM

*Kali smiled as she walked into Raph's line of sight* Hey, I'm back. Did Leo come by with your soup yet?
