Daibound took the sample and grabbed her a blanket, wrapping it around her. "Earm up, and thank you." he sad studying both samples extensively. He smiled, "I think this will work..." he looked at Sanya and hugged her, "Im sorry sweetheart, please, forgive me..." He took the samples and walked over to this really strange machine, it made some soothing noises, but, they were unusual sounding. He looked at it and prepared the two samples.
"I should explain, what I am doing is quite delicate, however the basis is that Thanatos is seeing two forms, unsure which one to... Eradicate. If he irradicates the wrong one then Nuriko is... You know." he said looking at the vial with his cure, it was a deep purple color, and he sighed, "With this we are going to hide Nuriko, allowing Thanatos to see what we WANT him to see." he handed the Cure to Sanya and smiled, kissing her forehead, then looking to Adrianne.
"I want you to administer it. Please take Sanya with you."
------------------------------------------------------------
Tori turned to Kazuma slowly and gave him a look of pure disaproval, "REALLY?! You impregnated the ONE girl on this island whose father can not only kill you but ME TOO?!" he said groaning. "Hey!" Kazuma said, "I love her! Not only that I am prepared for Placid..."he gave off confidence but as he did a knock on the door rang. Kazuma walked out and answered it only to have a hand grab him by his face and tossed into the rain. Placid stood over him and gave him a blank look.
"I want you to answer my questions, anything you say will be used against you. No matter what they are. Now, why did you impregnate my little girl!" he said looking a bit more irritated. Kazuma stood up and looked him in the eyes, "It was an accident..." he said looking at his lovers father with serious eyes.
"Another question; Why did you think it was okay to lay your filthy hands on my daughter!?" his facial expression changed to a more angry view. Kazuma looked at him, giving him an honest answer. "Because I love her!" he said, not fearing what was inevitably coming. Placid dashed forward slamming Kazuma in the stomach, causing the boy to fly back a yard or two. He stood up and chuckled, "No offense sir..." he said lookin up determined, as he spoke thunder and lighting bloomed. He eye Placid so confidently it made Tori shudder.
"... You hit like a damn girl!"

Adrianne looked confused for a moment, still soaking wet from the downpour outside. Then she looked between Sanya and Diabound, then nodded sadly and turned to walk out of the cavern, leading Sanya with her. As she was on her way, she sent a mental message on ahead to her teacher and Pandora. I'm on my way to Nuriko's mansion, I need you there. I have the cure..."
----------------------------------------
Pandora sat up quickly. She looked out the window, the rain beating on the closed window as it continued to downpour. She had heard the message from Adrianne, which urged her to meet her at Nuriko's house. She stood up, still naked, and started putting her clothes back on. She looked down at Kaiden, who was on the bed, then went back too dressing herself. "Your mother is on her way to the house. She has Nuriko's cure. She wants me there. Thought you might want to be there as well..."
----------------------------
It was still raining rather badly as they silently made the walk back to Nuriko's mansion. As they came up to the mansion, she looked over to Sanya, who was now as soaked as she was. She turned back to the mansion, which was now mostly empty. She calmly opened the door, walking into the living room quietly. She sat down in front of Nuriko, gazing over her as she slept.
-----------------------------
Mihari and Lillith came up to Sebastians cottage to see Tori and Sebastian already standing outside watching Placid and Kazuma go at it. And Kazuma seemed to be handling himself ok. Mihari looked at Lillith and grinned a little. "This may actually be interesting to watch. He is the son of Tori and Nuriko after all..."

Kaiden quickly got dressed as he could, rushing with Pandora in the rain. His thoughts were of hope, hope that this will help Nuriko. Once they arrived, Sanya stopped Kaiden and pulled him aside.
"I am afraid..." she said looking at Adrianne, who watched silently over Nuriko. Kaiden sighed, "I know how you feel but..."
"But what Diabound?" A voice called from the steps. Eiko was still robed, looking comfy as can be. Kaiden and Sanya jumped slightly at her words. He looked up at her and sighed.
"Nothing. My mind just was in a negative place is all." He said walking forward. Eiko stepped forward with him into the room. She looked at her students and smiled.
"Its time. Where is the Cure?"
------------------
Placid wailed on Kazuma repeatedly waiting for the white flag to show itself. But, after each knockdown he continued to stand. Kazuma wasn't fighting back. Tori watched next to Mihari and Lili, smirking.
"He is mine alright..." he said sighing. Kazuma showed no fear, no signs of backing down. Tori hugged Lili and patted he back, "I am happy for you both. But... rather disappointing to know I am gonna be a grandpa..." he said chuckling.
Placid managed to hit Kazuma once more knocking him over gasping for air. His face wasnt angry anymore, but instead, impressed.
"You idiot... stay... down..." he said breathing heavily. Kazuma coughed, spurting up blood. He rose up and spit it out, returning to original pose.
"Never. Not until you accept that I am the one she is meant to be with..." he said becoming determined..
"NOT UNTIL YOU ACCEPT I AM HER ONE AND ONLY!"

Adrianne looked at the group of people standing at the living room entrance. She didn't like having to be the one to do this, but she knew it needed to be done. She sighed, her face looking worried. She had a feeling this was going to end up not being a perfect cure, but they didn't have much of a choice at this point. She sighed.
"It's the side effects that worry me. This was scrambled together last minute, there's no telling what it could do to her..." She sighed, then gulped down her nervousness. Both Pandora and Adrianne held their breath nervously as Adrianne stuck the needle in Nuriko's arm and injected it into her.
-------------------------
Nuriko opened her eyes. She was in the dark, and couldn't see anything around her. Then she realized there was nothing here to see. It was all emptiness around her. All except for one thing. The one thing she had been closer than anything to for the last seven thousand years. He was apart of her. He was her. As the barriers fell, he had become aware of everything that had gone on over the last day, on top of everything that had gone on up until now. She stood there in front of Thanatos, then moved closer to him.
"Are you ok?" she reached up, touching Thanatos's head. He looked down at her, calm as ever, but still looking a little sad.
I feel... bad. I should have been strong enough to prevent that.
Nuriko smiled. "It's ok, friend. We can't always protect everyone." Thanatos lowered his head, then kneeled in front of her.
I can at least protect you. For Tori's sake. He thought of you often...
Nuriko smiled, bowing down to him, resting her head on his. Thanatos sighed.
Either the cure or your mothers curse, can't figure out which. I'm afraid it left your body blind. So, I will give you my eyes...
----------------------------------
Nuriko had been lying there for about an hour after they injected her with the cure, completely still. They had checked her pulse occasionally to make sure she was still alive, which was completely normal. Adrianne sat in front of her, watching over her as she slept. Then Nuriko's eyes fluttered open. But they weren't their normal indigo color. They now shined a beautiful silver-ish grey color. She looked around the room, taking in everything she was seeing. She was no longer in pain. She remained quiet, sitting up on the couch. She looked around. She didn't say anything. She found it rather amusing that everyone was standing around her staring at her, waiting for her to say something. She was trying to get used to seeing things this way. It was... different. She walked outside, using her knowledge of the house to avoid falling over anything. As she passed everyone, she made note that she could tell by looking at people now exactly what they were. She could see people's souls. She could see auras. Energies. She noticed that someone containing the spirit of a harbinger had a different aura than others. She looked up at the sky, which suddenly cleared up, the night sky coming out and allowing the moon to shine down on her. Then she realized she could almost see normally in the moonlight. "Huh... Day blindness..." she mumbled quietly to herself. She looked toward the forest, in the direction of Sebastians cottage and started walking toward her family, Adrianne and Pandora walking closely behind her.
-----------------------------------
Mihari and Lillith stood there, continuing to watch as Kazuma took Placid's beating. The rain had stopped a little bit ago, and the clouds had suddenly dissapeared. But the two beating on eachother didn't seem to notice. Lillith smiled a little at Kazuma's comment. "I'd probably cry of happiness if it didn't look like he was going to cough up a lung in the process... Dad's not going to kill him is he?" Mihari looked calmly ahead, shaking her head. "I dont think..." she stopped suddenly. She sensed someone coming up behind her. She turned away from everyone else, and her eyes widened. Nuriko came walking slowly up the beach toward them.

Kaiden collapsed in the entryway after everyone had left. Tears of joy falling, he smiled. She was finally back with them again, where she belonged. He sighed happily, sitting there quietly. Eiko smiled at him and sat on the steps nearby, speaking in her motherly voice.
"You helped her so much during this time Kaiden. Without you she wouldn't be here with us still. You have my thanks, it might not be much now but..." she said starting to tear up herself.
"Thank you..."
-------------------
Tori turned around and his eyes grew as he saw Nuriko walking towards them. As he did, Kazuma took another blow to the gut screaming in pain. Placid grunted falling to his knees before turning to his family to see Nuriko there. His eyes grew saddened, then he turned to Kazuma. "You... You promise me that you will take care of her... Never leave her side or..." he said Kazuma coughing up blood.
"...Or you will kill me? G-Got it..." Kazuma said smiling, laying in the sand. He wasn't able to move, he was in too much pain. Hana walked outside to see him laying there then, seeing her mother.
"M-Mom!" she screamed rushing to her mothers side. When Kazuma heard her scream he turned his head and coughed up more blood trying to speak. Tori rand to her and held on to her. Tears rolling down his face he kissed her. "Nuriko! Are you okay?!" he said looking into her eyes, seeing them in their new color. They didn't respond to him like before, thats when he knew something was taken from her.
"What... What's wrong...?"

Nuriko chuckled a little. "Everything has its prices I suppose. Either the curse, or the cure, made me blind. Thanatos is helping as much as he can with that, but it will take some getting used to." she smiled, wrapping her arms around Tori. "I'm sorry you had to go through that love..." She kissed him on the cheek before walking over to Kazuma. It was slow, walking through the sand when she couldn't see as well as usual was different for her. She kneeled in front of him. Then looked up toward Placid. "I understand how you feel, but I would greatly appreciate if you'd stop beating up all the men in my family." she said jokingly, giggling a little. Then something caught her attention.
She stood up, looking at Mihari. Then her gaze shifted from Mihari to Lillith, then to Pandora. She realized she could see it not a few hours after it happened. Though she could tell that Mihari has a few days head start on them. She chuckled, closing her eyes.
"They really do come in three's..." then she grinned at Mihari again. The same grin she gave her when she told Mihari she was pregnant with twins last time.
Mihari looked at her, then realized what the grin was for. She gasped, moving her hand over her mouth. She was partially surprised, as after she had the twins, the doctors had told her she was not likely to ever have children again. Her body must have healed up better than she originally thought. Then something hit her. 'Three's? But who...'
Both Mihari and Nuriko turned to look at Pandora.

Kaiden had begun walking towards the cottage. His guess was that she knew Tori was there, so, why not go bisit with everyone. He was still slightly worried though. She was moving around already, no healing process at all. Then again, she was always stubborn even when they were younger. Though, she would rather silence someone than admit it. He chuckled at the thought and soon he reached his destination.
He saw Kazuma laying in the sand all bloodied up which made him rush to him. Kneeling next to Nuriko. "K-Kazu! What happened?!" He said looking worried.
"O-Oh... I was... Being taught the lesson of a lifetime..." he said chuckling, gurgling a bit of blood. Placid sighed, "I trust you understand this..." he said looking down at Kazuma. "Y-Yeah... I won't let you down..." he said turning to Lillith and smiling . When his eyes met hers the pain stopped and his heart beat slowed. He managed to mouth the words 'I love you' before shutting his eyes and becoming unconscious. At the point Tori and Placid lifted him inside, laying him on the bed nearby. Placid returned out side then looked at Pandora.
"You're pregnant? And here I thought she was the goody-two-shoes of this flock..." he said huffing a sigh. He looked at her then squinted, eyeing her closely. Then looked at Kaiden who was frozen in place. His eyes wider than the ocean.
"When I finished with Kazuma... I didnt think I would have to beat my brother..." then he realized she said three's then his eyes darted to Mihari in pure shock. He looked into her eyes, unsure what to think.
First, twins and now another one?
He stood there then smiled shutting his eyes. He leaned against the outside wall of the cottage and slid down. His eyes still shut, he spoke again lightly.
"I wonder... What it will be...

Pandora smirked at Placids comment about her being a goody two-shoes. "This coming from mister 'I'm too good for feelings and emotions. I'll never love anyone.' Right... I wonder what happened..." she chuckled, then turned to see Kaiden frozen in place. She looked at him, worried. "Are you ok?"
Nuriko watched as Placid realized what all had been said and it finally hit him that Mihari was pregnant was well. She smiled, looking around at the 3 girls. Then she noticed something.
"2 boys, 2 girls. Pandora has twins. Lillith has a boy. Mihari has another girl."
Pandora turned and looked at Nuriko.
"Wha... bu... Twins?"

When Nuriko had said Twins his expression got even more scared. Placid looked over at him and smiled, "It seems someones got cold feet. Trust me, its not as frighting as it sounds..." he said chuckling. "Another girl for us? I can feel Jayden and I being overthrown by the women of the house ever so slowly..." he said jokingly. Tori sighed and shook his head.
"God... You boys need to learn to keep it in your pants... geez..." he said shutting his eyes. It quickly backfired as Placid had managed to headshot him with a ball of energy.
"Im sorry, what was that?" He said smiling. Tori groaned, "It was a joke... Nng..." he said laying in the sand. Hana sighed looking amongst everyone. It was rather adorable to see everyone finding out they are pregnant. She was rather disappointed as she was not even able to find that special someone to be with let alone even have a family with.
She went back inside and sat down, curling up a bit on the couch.
"Everyone is so lucky..."
----------------
Kaiden quickly shook his head, thinking that the thought of being a dad again wpuld process faster. He turned around to Pandora and sighed looking rather sad. He stood up looking back towards the ocean, looking rather afraid. His silence made Placid watch him closely.
"I... need to... I..." he said walking off towards the run down pier nearby. Placid watched him, knowing what was going through his mind. He looked toward Pandora and sighed.
"He is... saddened that he did this to you... You might need to talk to him privately about it..."

Lillith walked into the house and sat next to the unconscious Kazuma. Nuriko moved to sit next to Tori. "Who was the first one to have 3 children again?" Nuriko smirked down at her significant other. Mihari went and stood next to Placid, holding his hand as Pandora nodded, smiling sadly before turning to walk over next to Kaiden. She stood next to him silently, looking over the ocean quietly. She reached over and held his hand gently.
"Whats bothering you, Kaiden?"

Kaiden sighed, "I am sorry... for doing that to you..." he said sitting down and gently having her sit with him. "I didn't want to put you through that, I already messed up once before as a father..." he said looking out at the ocean. "I never met her until recently, she is a great girl but still..." he said looking down in shame. "I did that to Nuriko, left her alone during that time. I wasn't even able to console her during that pain. Now, you are pregnant and I don't know if I will be around again to even help..." his eyes became rather empty. He was scared, not of having a child but not being able to help raise it. He held her hand tightly and he sighed. It was a true burden he didn't want to give to her.
"I... I-I am so sorry Pandora..."

Pandora smiled, wrapping her arms around Kaiden softly. "Remember the talk we had before? I told you, I've already raised your child once. And It was probably the happiest years of my life. But this is entirely different. These are OUR children. Not just yours. And no matter what happens, it will not have ruined my life. Or been a burden on me. Nuriko was a much different situation. Plus that was not your fault. She didn't even know she was pregnant until after the fact. And no matter what happens, these children will be a reminder of the love between us. The bond. And one of the happiest nights of my life. And the only burden Nuriko had was the fact that she had to hide Hikari. She couldn't tell anyone of her existance out of fear of persecution, which was why I raised her to begin with. And that was not a burden. It was a blessing." she smiled, tears falling down her cheeks out of pure happiness. "I will never blame you for anything. This was not your fault." she smiled at him, then kissed his cheek gently. "Lets just be happy together, and we'll worry about everything else if it comes to that."

Kaiden smiled sadly and nodded at Pandora's words. He cared for her as much as one could, but, he was still aftaid that even after this was all over if he would be around to care for her and the children.
"I will stay strong for you. Whatever it takes to keep you safe I will do it. Nothing can stop me now." He said holding her hand tightly. He sat with her watching the ocean calm down from the previous storm. It was rather peaceful.
"No matter what... We will stand tall."
----------------
Tori looked back at the Volcano and the entire scenario felt off. But, he ignored it and made his way to Nuriko and held her close. Trying to be there with her as much as possible to aid her in walking.
"You have no idea how happy I am to have you back. Hana has been worried sick, Kazuma wont admit it but he was as worried as I was about you..." he said kissing her cheek.
"Welcome back love..."
--------------------------------------
Placid sat with Mihari and stayed silent. His hands hurt from beating Kazuma, they were even bloody from being too rough. He shut his eyes and sighed, "Its only a matter of time before He comes back." He said it tensing up. Nocturne was a few steps away from complete and utter dominance, only time will tell.
"Miha... I need you to promise me something. When this all goes downhill... Dont stop running, not for me. Keep going until the veiw of that nightmare is gone..."
--------------------
"Now that that is dealt with..." Diabound said looking toward the corner, Axel sat there smirking.
"Aye, you have a heart afterall. Yours grew a bit slower than it should have." He scoffed angrily. Diabound sighed, "I did what was necessary for the lives around me. Thats what I tried to do-"
"BULLSHIT!"
Axel stood up, he wobbled forward and looked around to see the entrance. He eyed it then Willow.
"You didnt care for anyone but yourself. You didnt even care about your own family! Now, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" He dashed forward, evading Willows arms and attacks to stop him.
Axel slid down the slope to smash open the entrance to the seal. One by one the souls poured into the lock, each chain breaking apart in a flurry of madness. Diabound ran inside to see the seal cracking, then, collapsing into the realm of absolute nothingness.
"What... What have you done?!" Diabound yelled as Willow bursted through the wall. As she did, a figure formed over the large chasm into the void. It wasn't large as expected, but, the size of Kaiden. Axels face went from proud and pleased, to angry.
"Bloody hell?! Who are you?!" He yelled at the shadowed body. The being turned and opened its eyes to show a pair of glowing blue eyes. With them a chuckle sang through the unstable cavern.
"War..."

Nuriko felt it. The energy in the air pulsed. She looked around the area, wondering if everyone else felt it too.
It was him... Thanatos whispered to her. She closed her eyes. She didn't want everyone getting involved, they tend to complicate things. And this wasn't the same Nocturne as usual. It was... different. She turned and looked at Tori. Even blind, she managed to look directly into his eyes, looking as serious as possible.
"I need you to stay here and watch over the children and everyone else. I won't be gone long. But this is something I have to do. Just trust me..." she kissed his cheek lightly. "Stay here." With a small smile, she spread her wings and took off toward the volcano.
-----------------------
Adrianne had made it to the volcano just before the seal broke. She moved herself next to Diabound, grabbing his hand. As she did, the cavern grew dark, the energy in the room convulsing. It was starting to clash, Nocturnes energy with another, which seemed stronger than usual. Suddenly a woman walked slowly into the room, gazing at where the figure was standing. The long black hair blew gently in the slight breeze that was blowing through the darkness. The bright silvery/white eyes gazed at Diabound and Adrianne before looking into the glowing blue eyes of Nocturne.
"It's so nice to see you again. It's been a while..."

Tori looked at Nuriko fly away and he felt it. the shivers fell down his spine. As they did, Kaiden's eyes grew, he coughed, causing a large amount of sludge to come out. "H-He..." he said becoming nervous, "This cant be...!" He stood up and wobbled. "P-Placid!" he shouted, he fell to his knees and coughed. Placid came running up next to him and looked at him. "Hey! Relax! He isn't going to hurt you!" he said looking at Kaiden, holding onto him. Tori looked at the Volcano, but, knew something was wrong. The surge, it wasn't cataclysmic. It was too weak for that and he knew it.
"What the hell...?"
------------------------
"You..." Nocturne said looking Nuriko in the pale silver eyes. "You look quite foolish with those eyes. Its a shame they had to use such petty means to heal you. War can cure ANY disease." he said smiling rather evil at her. Diabound grunted, "You are a plague. Nothing more." he said it with anger, a feeling that sank in his gut. Nocturne smiled, looking at Adrianne.
"How sweet, you still protect him. The both of you are such wasted souls... I want them." he said holding out his arm, giving them a nasty smile. "Let me have your souls!" he shouted as a cloud af black sludge flew from his arms, only to fail only from a few feet from his target. As it failed, energies surrounded him, shocking him uncontrollably. "GAH! WHAT IS THIS?!" he screamed, grasping his now normal arm. Diabound gasped, then he grinned.
"That would be another seal. The one Axel had on that tomb wasn't the only one there. However, the one Adrianne had there wasn't just to keep you sealed, it was to prevent anything bad from happening in case you did make an appearance. In this state, you are rather weaker than you would be in this state." he said pushing his glasses up. He eyed Nocturne who smiled back at him. "You think you can control me? I am no dog on a leash, you cannot train me... I am no beast." he said chuckling. "You're right." Diabound said giving him a look of detirmination, "You are a monster." he held onto Adrianne's hand tightly, knowing this could be a problem still. Nocturne laughed,, making the room grow darker as he did. He looked at Axel and smiled, "You, you are the one who released me yes? You are my right hand or I kill you. Make your choice." he said causing Axel to grin.
"Oh, that sounds easy enough... master." he said it, making Nocturne smile. The room grew pitch black and before he vanished he eyed Nuriko and cackled making chills run down Diabound's spine. They echoed for a moment, then, Nocturne spoke.
"Until we meet again... Little Raven..."
