It was maybe a hour until Akito and party reached the top floor and were a few rooms away from the tower throne room "That went better then expected." Leru said continuing to walk.
"Considering the Minotaur ran out a open window, I would have to agree." Akito said walking in between Leru and Kouya.

"I thought it jumped not ran," Kouya chimed in. All this walking was such a burden on her feet. She wasn't used to this sort of ordeal. She was beginning to tire out. "...How much further?" she asked.

Akito lifted her up off her feet sensing she was in some kind of pain, she now was on his back and her feet were relaxed.
"not long sweetie, just a few rooms and we're there." Leru told them still no sign of Neko... that could mean hes behind... or before us...

Kouya blushed when he swept her off her feet. "You don't have to do that..." she muttered. She wrapped her arms around his neck anyway to keep herself feeling secure. She thought for a moment about what Leru had said. "...So," she suddenly piped up. "Do you think... The red Neko would try and... Harm us again?"

"Good question.... I have a strange feeling we will be surprised..." Akito said as they walked on.

Kouya went silent. Silence, it seemed to fill the castle. To have not run into any malicious monsters suddenly after Leru appeared, it was all so suspicious. Kouya raised her head from Akito's neck and looked over towards the red-haired woman. "Leru," she said slowly. "Why is it that as soon as you appear, all of the monsters in the caslte seems to have either fled or refuse to attack us?"
[shadow=yellow,left,300]"Why indeed?"[/shadow]
A voice came from behind the group. Kouya turned her head to look over her shoulder at the source. A figure in a black cloak with the hood shading its face stood a few yards where the party had been a few seconds before. She recognized the voice, but from where? The cloaked figure shook its head.
[shadow=yellow,left,300]"I cannot believe that you still refuse to take my advice, Akito,"[/shadow] the black figure spoke again. [shadow=yellow,left,300]"I suppose you did not understand what I meant by the Dynastinian prophecy. Such a shame."[/shadow]

"How the hell long must we wait?" I say getting insanely bored, it had been total silence for some time and it was annoying. Rita hearing my voice was like a smack back into reality, she was too busy thinking about Neko to really pay attention to what was going on, if she was alone she would be doing other things >>.

"Who are-" Akito was cut off by himself after taking his gun out, this person.... something was familiar about him...
"Don't worry... I already sense him... hes a few rooms away..." Neko told him standing in front of the Throne like he was waiting for the lord Dracula himself to waltz through the doors.

The figure lowered it's hood. "I'm surprised you couldn't tell by instinct," Alexander said nonchalantly. "What's worse," he added. "Is that you still came here after all the warnings I gave to you about the Red one. You leave me no choice."
Alexander whipped the cloack off and struck into a fighting stance. His entire body seemed to radiate with electrical energy with sparks flying everywhere. "I must stop you."

Akito sighed "I have made my choice..." He made Kouya and Leru back away.
He brought up the gun and aimed it at Alexander, the light of the red moon shining off it "I will live my life... with the people that care for me most..." His eyes narrowed and the pupal his demonic yellow eyes shrank to cat like slits as he entered a gunner's most powerful ability, hawk eye "I will fight Neko and defeat him... and we shall simply part ways... alas you have other plans, don't you?" He asked pretty much figuring out just what Alexander had in mind.

Alexander shut his eyes. He chanted an unknown incantation and suddenly, the sparks around him meld together into the shape of two sword before him. The blades glowed from the energy within and above the blades themselves sat what appeared to be the barrels of guns. The lever-action swords drifted down and Alexander caught them from middair and pointed the right at Akito. "Congratulations, you aren't entirely daft," Alexander laughed. "If you go to Neko now, the prophecy will be fulfilled. You, being the ice elemental, will attempt to refuse with the Red One." Alexander smirked at looked over at Kouya. "All for that girl."

"Hmph... Who's calling who daft?" Akito almost laughed a lighthearted laugh "As if I'd fuse with that idiot." His gun clicked "I've had allot of time to think since that fight with the giant... Neko is capable of summoning creatures, but to place a seal on someone... hell a child... Even I know that's not Neko's style..." He recalled the mark on Melodee's back "But then i noticed something... you've come into contact with Neko regularly, haven't you? Neko has the ability, but no care to use it... unless its say, myself." Akito figured it out, it was only a matter of time til everything was in place.

(Sorry Will but I have a whole script written out for this part. ^^ Alexander began with a light chuckle but soon erupted into a booming fit of laughter. "How stupid are you Akito?" he managed to speak through his guffaws. "My point being, you don't think I know how far you'd go if it was for Kouya's better interest? Whatever she wants, she gets. SHE'S the one who wants you to refuse with him." Kouya sucked in a sharp breath but didn't answer. Alexander continued. "Deep down, all she wanted this entire time was Neko back. When you first came to her, that night after the split of the four, she didn't give a damn for your feelings. All she still sees you as is a chunk of meat to help her attain her goals, a shoulder to cry on, and lastly, not the one she loves." Tears were already starting to pour from her eyes. Her entire body was shaking violently and face frozen in a twisted contortion of agony. Not a word slipped her lips.

"Hmph..." Akito's poker face didn't falter "Are you done?" He asked bringing his gun down "I'm tired of listening to you act like your words actually make a mark on the one they are aimed at," He told Alex as he looked at Kouya then to Leru making it clear to the red headed woman to leave with Kouya "Your word hold no weight to me, what makes you think that I would listen to them?" He asked.

Alexander chuckled and shook his head. "Tell me then, why doesn't she deny it?" The blonde let his gaze travel to Kouya who still stood frozen with the tears continuing to pour down her face. "It's because I know the truth she has been hiding all this time from you. Her TRUE self." Kouya's eyes widened even larger and her gaze fell to the floor as if in shame.

"True... self?" He asked, but not aimed at Alexander, it was aimed at Kouya.

Kouya gave a terrified look to Alexander and then back to Akito. Her voice was barely more than the tiniest of whispers as she spoke, "I..."
Alexander laughed. "You what?" he taunted. "You can explain? What a load of bullshit." In the blink of an eye, Alexander stood before Kouya, holding her face in his hand. "I can see right through you you filthy liar."
Kouya shook her head wildly in his grasp. "No!" she exclaimed. "I-I changed!"
Alexander's face contorted into one of rage. "Silence!" With his free hand, Alexander held one of the gunblades to her skull and clicked the safety off. "Personally, I think liars aren't needed in the world."

Neko looked up and over at the doors "Alexander you bastard! Killing them wasn't the plan!" He said sensing Alexander's power jump up.
Without warning Akito's heel met Alexander's chest, the blow strong enough to shatter the rib cage, and destroy the vital organs of most normal people, sent Blond man into the wall behind him "You dare touch her with your filthy hands." Without so much as a single word he began a open fire on Alexander "You think that nothing changes with time..." Above all the things Akito hated, people who believe that change is impossible pissed him off the most.

Rita jumped and turned to Neko with the sudden shout "N-neko, whats wrong?" She said in confusion, I took out my pocket knife and pressed the button to turn it in a light weight scythe and begin to run as I felt the same power Neko felt.

The blow was so powerful that Kouya was knocked to the ground before she could react. Her body tumbled and she lay in a daze on the cold floor. When the dust cleared, Alexander had disappeared from the rubble along leaving no trace of him being there besides his imprint. A laugh seemed to come from all around the group, "Believe me, we will meet again, my oh so beloved brother..." and faded into a dull echo.
Kouya sat up dizzily from the floor and onto her knees. "Ugh..." she moaned rubbing her sore temple. It took her a moment to realize what had just happened to sink in. "Oh!" Kouya looked up at Akito and bowed her head in shame. "...I'm so sorry. I... I admit it. Back then, I didn't hold any of the feelings I had for Neko towards you. Rather, everything Alexander said, he was right."
She immediately followed her statement with another. "But, after being with you for all these months, I've changes. I... I began to fall in love with you. For you. Not Neko. You. And... Honestly, I wish that we could just run away from it all. Be somewhere where it's just you, me, and our...daughter. Maybe, we could settle down, even have another child?" Kouya blushed and looked away. "That way, I could prove to you that you would be an amazing father, demon or not." (referring to your post in Slight of Hand)
"I... I want to show you just how much you mean to me, Akito." Kouya stood up and slowly wrapped her arms around his waist. Her brown eyes welled up with tears around the corners. "If... If you accept me despite what Alexander said... I want to stay with you."
Elsewhere in the castle, Alexander had reappeared in front of two large double doors heavily engraved in what about to be writings and gold trimming. He pushed the doors open. Inside, a throne room awaited with the massive seat in the rear and three figures crowed around it.
Alexander wiped a trail of blood from his mouth and smiled. "Forgive me," he said as he approached Neko, Rita, and William. "I seem to have gotten carried away. Although," the blonde haired man stopped a few feet from Neko. He shook his head, a smile clearly visible on his face. "I must admit, it is entertaining to taunt the eldest of our kind."
