Nuriko and Mihari smiled as they realized Nightmare had backed into Placid. Mihari grinned. Nuriko continued to stare at Nightmare.
"You'd think you would have learned not to mess with us. How many times has it been now?" Nuriko lowered her scythe, her guard still up, but now she was looking at the other person, who was starting to look pale. Mihari sat back down next to Mio, while Nuriko moved around to stand next to the other person, still watching Nightmare.
"I've been slacking. I didn't realize so many new people had moved into my city. I try to keep some knowledge of these things." she laughed.

Placid stabbed Belmonte from behind forcing him to dissapear. His face was still tired as always and his attitude matched. He glanced over at the boy at the steps and frowned.
"Leave." He said trying not to sound to angry. He was more worried than anything.
He reached Mio and lifter her inside and placed her on the couch. Her arms and legs were minorly scratched from the shattered glass. She joltted up and looked around.
"Crimson? Where...?" She said as Kibiko went to her side. "Shh, hey, take it easy..."
Mio shook her head, "You didn't hurt Belmonte did you?! Please tell me he is ok!"

Nuriko and Mihari followed Placid in silently. Nuriko sighed, looking around.
"Why can't I ever have a normal outing..." she sighed again, somewhat irritated before walking back outside and sitting on the stairs. She looked around outside, finally getting to breathe calmly for the first time since Mihari rushed her out of the house. She sighed, looking toward the mansion. "I hope Rei is ok with all those kids." she chuckled a little.
Mihari stood next to Placid, watching him silently. She always had a hard time telling what he was thinking. He always looked so serious and worried all the time. She knew he had alot on his mind, so she tried to at least make him smile once in a while. As Mio started asking about the boy, she looked around, wondering where he went to.

The boy, Crimson, was in his room, asleep. He had felt like his soul was almost ripped from his body. Which made sense seeing as emotional ties with tempest can lead to it. However, Mio wanted to know where Belmont was. Placid stood from next to her and sighed, "The demon?" he said shaking his head.
"I banished him for a bit. Seems like that other boy did a number on him though..." he said trying not to sound to impressed by that mortals actions. Mio sighed, "No... We can't... We can't hurt Belmonte anymore!" she said, Kibiko gasped, "What are you talking about?! Look what that thing did to you!" she said feeling a bit upset.
"No! Alistair did this... I can explain..." she said as she calmed her breathing down a bit. "See, Belmonte no longer wants to be on Nocturnes side. He says that he found us to be more friendly than anyone he has ever wanted to be with on their side. He says..." she said tearing up. "All he wanted was a friend..." she said it and Placid walked off and stood near the door and looked back at her.
"That may be the case, but his hunger for human souls is still around. Making him a threat to you and anyone around you. Until proven otherwise, he is still hostile and is also on my personal hit list..."

Nuriko gasped, running into the house, almost barreling poor Placid over in the process.
"Speaking of threats to peoples lives... Miha... we should probably get back to my house soon. I left my poor brother with all 3 of them." Mihari looked at her, it took her a moment to realize what she was talking about, then her eyes widened. "Oh that poor boy." she stood up, placing her hand on Placid's shoulder. "Let's just observe and see how thing's turn out. You never know, he may actually want to change. Did you want to come along?" she stood there next to Placid, looking up at him.

Placid nodded and waved good-bye to the two girls. "Tori and I will be back sometime later to help with the window. Stay inside and safe..." he said walking out with them. Once they reached Nuriko's home, Placid looked up to see Rei as well as a little boy no older than 8 sitting on the ground with Hana. She laughed while Placid watched them. 'Who... is that?' he thought as they came closer. The boy had a medium haircut almost as long as Tori's. However, his hair was black. His eyes were a deep blue color. They almost looked as if they could glow. He was playing Peek-a-boo with the girl as the twins appeared to be asleep.
Once they made it to the step Placid looked down and the boy stood up. "Oh! My name is Yonoro Otinashi! I am a Prep Student at Niharuka Academy for the gifted. I have come to visit a Miss..." he said pulling out a paper, "Nuriko Tsukina?" he said looking at Mihari and Nuriko. He put the paper away and spoke again.
"I apologize for-" he was cut-off by Placid. "For what? Lying through your teeth? How did you get this body? Well?" he said as the boy looked at him and waved his hands nervously. "P-Please! I didn't steal it! I swear!" he said taking a step back.
Placid gave him a disapproving look, "How would I trust that... Belmonte?"

Mihari smiled, seeming to have the calm and patience of a goddess. "I never said trust him. I said observe him. Give him a chance to prove he CAN be trusted." Nuriko walked up to Hana, picking her up and holding the girl on her hip, smiling at her. She turned to her brother. "They weren't too much of a handful while we were gone?" Rei brushed his hair out of his eyes, smiling. "Nah, the twins are sleeping in the spare bedroom, all i really had was Hana. She is a lively one." Mihari walked into the house, going into the spare room she had set the crib up in and looked over the babies, who has recently woken up and were wiggling around in the crib. She picked the two up, suprised at how good she had gotten at carrying two children at once. She walked back outside with the twins to see what was going on.

Belmonte was dressed fairly nice and seemed different. Everyone was staring at him before Tori walked into the yard. "Well well, who is the shrimp?" He said tossling the childs hair. "Just kidding little guy, so, whats your name?"
Belmonte stared at him and his face grew dark. "Your worste NIGHTMARE..." He said smiling darkly. Tori jumped back and made a startled noise, "Damn! Whats with all the freaky stuff happening to us?" He said as Belmonte smiled. He felt like a kid with special privledges, as if he was an adult with a childs body. "Liwa, nice to see you still are scared of me."
"Hey! I didn't expect a demon child you monster!" He shouted before realizing something. "Where did you get the body?" He said stretching his cheeks.
"Belmonte slapped his hands away and sighed, "I have always had this boy. However, since I don't use it it doesn't grow. It's not all bad, I like being smaller..." He said as the dark aura Placid felt slowly started to diminish.
"Now, can I explain myself without a death sentence?"

Rei looked at the boy curiously as the two women sat down in the front yard with the kids. Hana seemed to have taken a liking to Belmonte, and Nuriko always believed babies were better judges of character than anyone else was. She looked at Rei for a second, who was watching the boy, then went back to watching the kids. Jayden had managed to crawl all the way over to Placid and start playing with the hem of his pants. Mihari giggled, still holding lillith.

Belmonte was playing a bit with Hana and her eye glowed with happiness. The two seemed to get along as if they were best friends.
'That body... Hasn't grown? Odd...' He thought watching Belmonte and Hana play. "She has taken a liking to you hasn't she?" He said kneeling next to them. Belmonte smiled for the first time in this body of his and nodded while feeling another thing for the first time. Acceptance.
"Liwa..." He said looking up with a tear rolling down his face, "I apologize for everything I put you guys through, from now on I won't be any more trouble! Honest!" He said hoping to hear words of intrest and gratitude. However, Tori sighed and stood up.
"I have no reason to believe a word you say Belmonte. The only proof you can show me is through actions. My daughter is happy playing with you, that is more than enough forbyou to stay..." He started walking off before turning around with the most awful look in his eye.
"But, so help me... If lay a single hand on her in harm or intention... I will kill you. You will never see light again, only black, until your twisted soul bleeds into nothing but dispair..." And with that he walked off.
Placid followed and looked at Belmonte. "Time is something we all have. Give us that much, and perhaps with luck, we can learn to trust you..." They both left into the home and Belmonte sat, upset but atvthe same time relieved that he could still see the little one he plays with.
"Im glad I can still make youbl happy at least..."

Nuriko looked at Tori and Placid as they walked into the house. "Just remember, this house is the most highly protected house in this city. It was designed that way, by me. The house wouldn't have let him get this close if he was evil. Just... " she averted her eyes, smiling at her brother a little, "keep that in mind." She stood up walking over to Belmonte, offering him her hand. "Would you like to come inside? It's getting chilly out, and she isn't dressed for cold weather."
Mihari sighed, shaking her head as she stood up and walked over to grab Jayden. She giggled, talking to him in a low voice. "He didn't even notice you, did he. That mean old man..." Jayden giggled, Mihari smiling as she brought the two children inside and set them on the floor in the living room.

Belmonte nodded and felt a bit sick. Being this close to a home like this made him nauseous, as he stood up he became dizzy. 'As beautiful as this place is... I can't be here anymore.' he waved at the little one Nuriko was holding, she began to squirm as he started to walk off. He stopped and gave a soft smile and waved to her again. She cried out and before to long he felt like he shouldn't go, regardless of him becoming irritated by the holy protection.
"You changed me in a matter of minutes... Hana." he said sighing and heading toward the door before being grabbed by the throat and thrown to the ground. Kibiko stood over him and gave him a really scary look.
"I am NOT letting you touch anyone of my friends again. Her pain... MY pain... These constant nightmares..." she trembled and scream almost at a weep, "Quit screwing with my head!" Belmonte looked down in shame and shook his head. "I-I... I didn't even do those last ones.. I-I haven't caused any harm to any of you in months!"
As he said it she back handed him. As her hand hit she raised it again and it stopped. Mio held onto him, close in her arms. "Stop it!" she yelled as a drops of rain began to fall. "Just knock it off! Nobody understands... We... Nobody understands us!"
She sat there eyes wide and the tears dropped. Belmonte sat with his eyes half open and body limp, he he simply said a single word...
"Mione..."

Nuriko watched what happened calmly, holding Hana the entire time. She walked toward the group, still looking calm, and sat down in front of Mio and Belmonte. Hana had stopped crying as soon as she reached near Belmonte, and was now smiling and reaching for him.
"Actually, I think she understands perfectly. Babies are, by far, the best judges of character in this world. They see things that we couldn't possibly understand. I used to joke that babies are born knowing the secrets of the universe. But either way... " she looked at Kibiko, almost sympathetically, "As long as Hana accepts him, and the house accepts him, he is under my protection." she looked back at Hana, who was still reaching for Belmonte, smiling.

Mio let up as the rain came down a bit harder. Kibiko left through the front and never even said a word to anyone. Mio watched her as her and Belmonte stood. He took her hand and led her inside, "Mio, please, let me speak to her..." he said as he led Nuriko there too.
"I will make it better... I will try... Try and bring her back..." he ran outside in the cold rain. He had made it to the beach as he caught up to her she stopped and eyed him with anger. "How dare you..." she said as Alistair watched from a distance.
"How dare you ever speak to me..." she said clenching her fists. Belmonte looked down and then up again in a bit of remorse. He smiled a bit then sighed, "Then hit me..." he said, she turned around, shocked about his words. "W-Wha...?" She said as he closed his eyes.
As he did he shoved her to the side, only to take a bolt of energy to the side. "Damn it!" he said as he hit the sand. He looked up as Alistair made his way up to Kibiko. Picking her up by the throat, he smiled. "My dear... You don't understand the amount of pain I gave you..." he continued to choke her. As he finished his sentence Belmonte came dashing in at him in tears. He grabbed Alistair by the neck, and he eyes glowed Azure Blue.
"Leave her alone!!!"

Nuriko stood at the edge of the doorway, looking slightly worried. Hana started fussing, getting upset. Nuriko looked at her, then looked back out towards where he ran to. "You think so too huh..." she turned toward Tori, looking worried. "I have a bad feeling about this..." she said, just as she started sensing something in that direction. At the same time, Hana started crying, as if she knew something was going on. She looked at Tori, unsure of what to do.
