HOUSE OF WAR (One-on-one, COME ON JIZABEL!)

[Rikihara Tai]

((ALMOST. THERE! WAKE UP SUZAKU!))

'No! No, Fredric! You are loved and that is a reality that you cannot change or deny! It is real and it is true! We love you, Freddie! We love you! And all of us would say it infinate times to prove it to you!'

[Jizabel (Ephona)]

Fredric bit his lip. He felt his own soul conflicting him...like it always did with these pep talks. He was supposed to be dead. Why would anyone love him? But...if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have met Ivy. Ivy would be all alone. If it weren't for him, his uncle wouldn't have anyone to tease or do other crazy psycho things to. If it weren't for him...more than Suzaku would be dead.
I...I guess your right Mother...

Akuji compressed a bit more on his chest. "Suzaku? Can you hear me Suzaku?"

Jett fell on Zeki, the anger he had held in for years coming through in full blast. He raked his claws down her arms, crying out bloody murder and cussing her out with the most colorful language Ran had ever heard. He made a knife out of his blue energy and pressed it right into her heart.

[Rikihara Tai]

Suzaku let out a soft groan, and his emerald green eyes fluttered open.

Ty smiled, her eyes closing. 'Good. Always remember what I've told you . . . . Ah, my primal is done. . . . I'm going to . . . sleep now . . . . Go check . . . . on Suzaku . . . .'

[Jizabel (Ephona)]

"Ah! Your awake!" Akuji patted his cheeks.

Sleep? Now!? But...Mother!

[Rikihara Tai]

'It's all . . . going to be fine, Freddie. Everything . . . is okay . . . . Go now . . . . Suzaku is . . . waiting for you . . . .'

Suzaku blinked a couple times, trying to clear the haze out of his eyes. The voice sounded distant, but familiar.

[Jizabel (Ephona)]

But Suzaku's awake! You should go see him!

"Suzaku?" Akuji put his fingers to his wrist. Steady pulse, that's good.

Ran smiled. "You okay now, Jett?"
"I. Feel awesome."

[Rikihara Tai]

'No, Freddie . . . . Trust me . . . . It you . . . that Suzaku is waiting for . . . . I . . . have to . . . rest now . . . .' Ty murmured as her consciousness faded entirely into the depths of sleep.

Suzaku still couldn't place the voice. He looked around, but everything was still blurry.

[Jizabel (Ephona)]

Fredric clutched his tail tightly. O...okay... He ran up the stairs towards Akuji. "Suzaku!?"

[Rikihara Tai]

Suzaku blinked, his eyes clearing, as he heard the distinct voice of the little boy he'd pretty much adopted. "Fredric-oniichan?" he called, his voice rasping.

[Jizabel (Ephona)]

"Good! You're back, boy!" Akuji laughed heartily.
"SUZAKU!" Fredric flung himself onto the table right on top of Suzaku. "Onii...Onii-san..."
