"Well, maybe some things shouldn't be shared. It would mean life or death would it be secure enough to guarantee the result you want?" he said folding his arms. "Just remember, is it something you want everyone to know..." he paused looking at the doorway to see Tori speaking with her father.
"...or only some to know?"
------------------------------------
"I try my best sir..." he said gulping, realizing that now was his interview with the father. "I have been... looking for a way to find Albert Diabound knowing he was a wanted man and knowing what he was trying to accomplish." Tori sat on a large chair in the room. Nervously awaiting more questions. "I... left your daughter while trying to protect her, I left her and our two child-..." he paused and his heart stopped. He just mention they had two kids. He practically told her dad he made love to his daughter.
"Uhm... Well..."

Nuriko shook her head.
"It's nothing life or death... but... I can imagine, if in this position, I would want to know. Has to do with your brother..." she looked down the hall towards Tori. "Though I know I should tell him as well." she sighed. "I'm really no good at this sort of thing..."
--------------------------------------
Sebastian laughed.
"Relax. I'm not trying to interrogate you. I already knew about the children. It's saddening that due to my position I haven't been able to come and personally meet them, but hopefully well have time for that later." he looked at the boy with his eyes raised, a slight look of concern on his face. "I was only asking for your own benefit. I know being with a person like Nuriko can be difficult sometimes. Secrets tend to put alot of stress on relationships."

"Just pay caution who you share this secret with. If people don't need to know, then don't tell them. It's happens to be that simple." he said looking at her, not sure what was bugging her, but, if it was enough of a struggle for her to get it out... It must be pretty upsetting. He stood up, turning to a nearby window and looking out to see the oncoming storm clouds. "Rain...? Good..." he said almost sounding happy about it. That would be something he'd be happy about, for Placid LOVES the rain.
"I think... You should tell him first. If you think it needs to be shared with others... Then you can feel free to share with me next. If not, then don't worry yourself about it. Just stay cool and collected. I know you, it should be something you are good at by now..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tori sighed a breath of relief and smiled, "Thank god... But, I do understand your position. My parents as well have had trouble seeing them. When the time is right I am sure they would be happy to meet you sir!" he said giving him a warm smile. When he mentioned Nuriko and her secrets, Tori nodded, "Yeah, I am aware she hides alot, not in the idea to use them to harm later. More along the lines of... Trying not to hurt anyone at all." he sat there trying to hold composure, not sulk on front of him.
"What bothers me the most is that... Shes hiding something that has been eating at her for a long time and she is even to afraid to tell me of all people..."

Nuriko nodded. She looked out the window, gazing at the clouds before walking into the main room. She heard Tori's comment about her being afraid to tell him and smirked a little.
"Makes you wonder, doesn't it." she looked at him before holding his hand and leading him outside. She led him to the edge of the beach, gazing out over the water, holding Tori's hand. "The water is calming..." she took a deep breath, looking over the water for a few minutes, watching the clouds roll in. Then she turned and looked at Tori.
"I really appreciate the fact that you haven't been hounding me about this. I've been wanting to tell you, but it's a rather difficult subject for me. But..." she sighed. "Hana isn't my first daughter. My first child was born before I met you. It was unplanned. It was very bad timing..." she shook her head. "I had to put her in hiding out of fear of anyone finding out who her father was." she gazed toward the house, looking rather sad.

Tori looked at her then back at the ocean. "A daughter..." he said, not really sure what to say or feel. "Its... Kaiden's isn't it?" he asked as Placid stood in the doorway of the home, arms folded. He wasn't able to hear what they were saying, but, by the look on Tori's face, it wasn't something he was going to be happy about. Placid sighed, walking out from the door and heading down the beach, walking solo. "That... Can't be good..." he said stopping near a rickety dock. It looked like a great place for fishermen to cast off, however, due to its age, it was run down and damaged.
Tori sighed sitting in the sand, not really sure how to respond. He wasn't mad, more along the lines of disappointed. He wasn't her first. Hana wasn't her first. It seemed very strange to him. He kept his eyes forward, just looking into the ocean. Almost as if he was looking for words he could say. Once, he thought about it for several minutes he spoke.
"...I want to be alone."

Nuriko closed her eyes, then nodded. As she did it started raining. She sighed.
"I'm sorry, Tori."
She turned and walked back into her fathers house, walking into the room where Kaiden was still laying. She didn't sit herself next to him this time. She stopped next to him, smiling sadly. "And people wonder why I keep my secrets... All I end up doing is hurting people in the end..." She walked over to the window, which was rather large and had a cushioned ledge for sitting on. She sat in the corner, still a little wet and curled herself up. After a few minutes of watching the rain, she found herself softly singing the song again, tears falling down her cheeks.

Placid noticed the rain starting to fall. As he did he started walking toward the home, before seeing Tori, sitting in the rain. Placid looked at the home, then him. He shook his head and sat next to him, neither saying a word. Minutes passed as the two got soaked from the rainfall. After moments of silence Placid spoke, "You can cry over it Tori. Everyone needs to let it out one way or another." he said looking at him.
"Shut up..." he said continuing to look forward. Placid looked forward and thought about it, Tori communicates poorly, when they spar, thats when they understand eachother. "Fine... I bet your feelings are deserved." he said not feeling guilty about his words. "What did you just say...?" tori said looking at him and giving him a sharp look. "You heard me. You aren't a man. You are a useless tool. A lesser being. Quit sulking you stupid cry baby!" he said Tori standing up over him.
"I am giving you an opportunity to walk away now. Take it." he said as Placid stood up, Tori stood a good 1 and a half feet over Placid, making him look down at him. "You going to make me leave?" he said giving him a sharper look back. tori swung at him, Placid easily dodging and hitting him in the gut. "CRY!" he shouted at him and Tori tackled him, Placid reforming his position, rolling Tori off of him. "Shut up!" he screamed throwing more punches his way.
"Quit sulking! Be a man! CRY!" Placid said dodging all punched thrown to uppercut Tori, knocking him on his butt. Tori sat there and a flash of lighting went off, following close by the sound of thunder. Placid stood over him, waiting for him to move then, Tori leaned forward, starting to sob. "...Let it out." Placid said kneeling down. Tori hugged him, trying not to be to loud. "It hurts..." he said, Placid smiling as he tried comforting Tori, "I... thought I was the only one... She loved..." Placid looked at him and shook his head. "You are the only one that can be there for her no matter what! You are the one and only for her Tori!" he said patting his back.
"Just because there was once something between them long ago... Doesn't mean anything has changed between you two..." he said standing up, walking back inside. He walked into the spare room and looked at Nuriko. He sighed, looking at her cry.
"You need to go to him... He needs you... You need each other..."

Sebastian stood in the doorway, watching the two boys. He shook his head, smirking a little as he opened his umbrella and started walking toward the two. As Placid walked inside, Sebastian moved to stand next to Tori.
"Not to be harsh here, but I'm pretty sure you aren't the only person suffering here. Nuriko..." he sighed. "She doesn't keep secrets for her own enjoyment. She keeps secrets out of fear of being hated or out of wanting to keep people safe. Her secrets hurt herself just as much, if not more, than they hurt you. And that particular one she's been keeping for a VERY long time." he turned around, about to start walking inside. "Kaiden doesn't know either." then he walked back inside the house.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nuriko looked at Placid. His comment made her smile a little. She nodded, slowly standing up and moving to stand in the front porch. She stopped for a second, unsure of herself as her father walked past her into the house. Nuriko then walked to Tori, kneeling in front of him quietly, unsure if she should say anything. The rain had made them both soaked by this point. Nuriko raised her hand and ran it through his hair lovingly.
"I love you... my Tori..."

"I... Love you too my Nuriko..." he said reaching up and holding her close. "It hurts... knowing these things... But, I don't blame you, I can't..." he said holding her tightly as the rain fell. "I just... Don't know what to say or do..." he looked into her eyes and his were saddened but, filled with love for her. "I just want to be yours... As long as you want me to be..." he said looking down and shutting his eyes. He sat there in silence, letting the rain break the silence.
"I just want to be yours forever..."

As the rain fell, Nuriko smiled, holding him close, running her fingers lovingly through his hair.
"My dear Tori... Just because all this happened, doesn't change how I feel about you at all." she moved his face to look up at her, her eyes gazing lovingly into hers. "I wouldn't have agreed to marry you if I didn't already love you with every fiber if my being. That's why it was so hard to tell you, even though I knew it was unfair to hide it." she held Tori close before kissing him deeply. She wanted to show him just how much he meant to her.
She withdrew, resting her forehead on his, their noses touching as she closed her eyes. "I don't want to hide any more secrets from you anymore, but I have alot of them, so it may take some time. Though this one was the only one that really affected us in any way..." she raised her head and kissed him on the forehead. "I need you with me more than anything..." she brushed her fingers across his cheek, looking into his purple eyes as she remained kneeled in front of him.

His eyes looking into hers and he connected and tears ran mixed with the rain down his cheek. "I promise you I will never leave your side... Never again..." he said before kissing her deeply and holding her tightly. He stood up and picked her up. "Come on, we are gonna catch something being out here." he said giving her a warm, yet subtle, smile.
"I want you to know you make me happier than anything in existance. I will try every day to find ways to make that known... I love you Nuriko..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the rain began to fall Hana sat in her room, the window open to allow the cool wind to enter her room. She sat there curled up. Confused wasn't really a word she would use. But, all she knew was her heart hurt, in ways that made her want to cry for him. "But... I thought we..." she began before starting to sob. Then her chest began to hurt more, this time, similar to the time she found out she had a Harbringer forme. "I just wanted... I just wanted you...!" she said before losing consciousness. Whispering a set of words as she left.
"I... Loved... You..."
-----------------------------------------------------
Kazuma and Lilith had still been sitting on the fountain as the rain began to pour. Realizing this he covered her up with the hoodie he was wearing. "I think now would be a good time to go inside!" he said chuckling. As he said it, a flash of light came from Hana's window. A golden being flew out of the room and floated there looking toward the ocean. It shrieked before taking flight towards the beach. Kazuma looked at it and took off after it.
"Hana! STOP! COME BACK!"

Nuriko smiled, holding Tori close as he picked her up and carried her. As he moved toward the house, she looked at him.
"Tori, do you think I should tell Kaiden? Given the circumstances..." she trailed off. She could feel something coming, it felt somewhat familiar. She looked at Tori, then sighed.
"Something is coming..."

"I think it would be something that would make sense. I think he should know..." he said holding on to her tightly, "Just... one thing... Do you know anything about her...? he said as she mentioned something was coming. The air became stiff, almost as if it was electrified.
"Something...?" he said as the hairs on his head began to defy gravity. "What the...?" he said as the rumble of what felt like turbines passed over them. The shrieks filled the air as Tori rushed to the window. "What the hell...?!" he said as the being smashed into the sand. It was sharp, almost like bolts of lighting. Metal, shining all over it's body, let loose small sparks, which struck the sand, heating it almost enough to burn it into glass. Tori ran outside and the being stood looking into the ocean. Thunder in the sky went haywire, letting loose explosions of air and lighting. The being tensed up and shrieked, lighting striking it, then spreading out striking into the sand around it. After it did the being fell to its knees, whining out as if it was in pain. The rain fell upon its metallic structure, causing it to spark at some points. Then, it wit the sand, face down. As it did, a light enveloped it's body. The light became bright, and it faded, leaving a girl there. Tori's eyes grew as he ran out into the rain, picking her up.
"Hana?! Come on! Wake up! Gah!" he said running her inside. She wasn't conscious, though, it did seem like something that happens quite often when she unlocks a new forme. He placed her in the chair he had been sitting in, "Aw geez... This feels familiar... Ugh..." he said, trying to dry her off a little.
"Come on baby... Wake up...!"

Nuriko sighed, frowning a little. She followed behind Tori as he carried their daughter into the house and set her on the chair. She bent over, kissing her gently on the forehead before sitting down in front of her.
"I need to tell you something about Hana's Harbinger form. This was never designed as a harbinger. It became one of its own accord. The soul was a fragmented soul. Torn from its origional host. Placid's mother, Adrianne. After Adrianne left Diabound, her heartbreak and sorrow grew so great that she nearly went mad. So she tore out half of her soul, hoping to get rid of the pain. The spirit that inhabits Hana now... is a spirit of sorrow. Loss. Heartbreak. Likely caused by Kaiden telling Hana that it would never work, then me walking in and taking Kaiden." Nuriko looked down at her daughter, then over at the room with Kaiden in it. "Those two have always had a special bond. I still don't understand why. But..." she sighed, sitting back.
"Oh, to answer your previous question, I do know a bit about her. Her name is Hikari..."
-----------------------------------
She always enjoyed walking in the rain. Her adopted mother told her it was because of her mother. She always used to tell her such amazing stories about her mother. About how her mother had saved the world. And how her mother was an incredibly kind and gifted woman. She smiled. A flash of blinking light caught her attention as she saw something fly across the sky. She gazed in the direction it was heading, her bright blue eyes looking toward the beach. She turned around, walking in another direction. The rain had made her long black hair rather soaked.
"I should probably get out of the rain..."

"Adrianne...?" he said looking at his daughter, almost worried that would cause some problems. "This keeps getting weirder and weirder..." he said looking at her, when she mentioned Hikari, he folded his arms as he stood up. "So, this little one you guys had..." he said looking back at Hana to make sure she was okay. "What exactly happened to her? What do you plan on doing?" he asked. As he did Hana grunted and her eyes opened. She looked around then at her father. He kneeled to her and she jumped to him, squeezing him. Tightly she held on to her father, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Daddy...!" she said sobbing. "I don't know what happened...! I was just laying in my bed, then, I am here... I know I changed but I know it was the worst..." she said looking at him, "Because it hurt the most..."
------------------------------------------
Kazuma ran as fast as he could, becoming soaked every second by the oncoming rain. Once he got into town, people looked at him like he was crazy. Although, he didn't give a damn about anyone other than Hana at this point.
"Don't worry! I'm coming! Hana!" he said to himself at he was about to pass a corner he clipped a girl around his age. Causing her to fall. "Oh man! Ah...!" he said looking back toward the beach then back at the girl.
"Oh man! You okay?!" he said kneeling down next to her. He offered his hand to her and scanned her. He noticed she looked very pretty, however something gave off a vibe or question. Why did she seem familiar to him? Her black hair and Azure eyes were the first things he made contact with. They put him in this weird trance. He realized he looked creepy, shaking the feeling away, then looking her over; Making sure she was okay, no cuts or bruises.
"Come on, I will help you up... Sorry about knocking into you... I was in a huge hurry..."
------------------------------------------
"GOSH! All this rain is gonna ruin my day! I swear!"
The girl walked down the main street with an umbrella in hand, heading towards the town center. Her hair, set up to look nice. Her hoodie was dark blue, while she herself wore a short skirt and long leather boots. Her dark green eyes shifted through the area, looking for someone specific. "Ugh! On top of the rain, now I gotta wait in it?! GAH! Perfection..." she said standing underneath an awning, allowing her to fold her umbrella up. A group of boys walked past her watching her before one stopped, nudged his buddies, then walked up to her.
"Hey... Would it be romantic if I told you how beautiful you were, treat you to some Ice Cream, then took you to a movie? You'd keep warm!" he said smiling at her, the girl giggled. Looking at him and giving him a warm smile. "Oh, I don't know... Today seems like the kind of day where you just want to NAP... Isn't it?" she said and he chuckled then yawned. "Well, not really... But, now that you mention it I could go for a nap... Uh, I will go home instead..." he said stretching. The girl looked at him walk away with his friends and giggled.
"Boys are fun to mess with..." she said bobbing her head to a song on her phone, one ear bud in. She looked at the device to see the song playing was 'Blackstar' by the band Celldweller. She smiled and bobbed her head more, looking around, still trying to find her target.
"At least good music is around to help me cure boredom from WAITING!"
