We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
Knives just continued to move his body, not really caring where he went or what he did, simply letting it move as it felt it should to the beat of the music. It felt great, he loved dancing with girls; even moreso, he liked the feeling of holding a girl he really cared about in his arms. Another happy sigh escaped him; he wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings, his eyes shut, only thinking about the girl who was pressed up against him.
" keep your head down - " He opened his eyes, and lifted his head away from hers so that he could look down at her. That comment didn't make sense; why would he need to keep his head down? He blinked a few times, but did as he was told, ducking his head down and resting it against Dango's. His mouth was right next to her ear, so he was able to whisper, "Why? What's wrong?"
He tried sniffing the air, but it was no use: there were only humans in this place, nothing out of the ordinary. Without knowing the scent of the agents, he was unable to notice them out of the many others there. Besides, his first sniff gave him a sudden burst of Dango's pleasant scent, and he was enjoying that far too much to care about the others. With a smile on his face, eyes closed, he just enjoyed the way she smelled.

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"Why? What's wrong?"
They were closer now, right behind them -
Chestnut hues saw the reflections in their dark glasses and the next moment she slipped out of Knives grasp and rushed towards the upper level.
She took off into the crowd as more people seemed to block Knives way. Only two guys followed Dango towards the upper level, the other one was directly behind Knives in case he tried to take off after her.
Dango's heart was racing until she made her way to the corner where the music was only a dull tune, the lights barely reached up there as the two men in their black suits appeared.
They stood there beside eachother, slowly reaching to take their glasses off, a serious expression reflected from their forest green hues.
The agency sent the twins?. How serious was this?
"Agent Vicegrip. Your becoming quite a hard one to keep up with'
Dango scoffed, looking away from the pair.
"You haven't been keeping up with the job required, if this job is too difficult for you we do have others that will do it"
"No! I have it under control!"
She was desperate now -
"Its not my fault! I wrote what happened and why the bracelet malfunctioned"
"Ah yes, the bracelet. We have a new one now for you, a better one"
Ruffling through his pockets he pulled a new bracelet and passed it to her. Regretfully she put it on, her eyes narrowing.
"That.. young dogboy your with - he strikes our interest. We want full readings on him by next week. Do you understand Dango?"
"Do whatever it takes."
A pain in her stomach. It was clenching, twisting, ripping her apart inside and all she did was nod.
"Remember who you are. You know not to get attached to anyone. You remember what happened then, you know how much Sinatic will do to have you"
Sinatic - was he the reason why?
Dango rested her hands at her side, nodding as she clenched her slender fingers into a fist. So tightly - the blood now forming, dripping to the floor.
"You just do your job. Remember who really loves you"
Sinatic knew obsession and lust, Sinatic did not know love.
The two men began to walk away from her -
"Keep in touch, dumpling"
And the blood continued dripping its crimson tears to the floor -
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
Knives blinked as she pulled away. Immediately, he turned his head, his eyes falling upon the men behind him. The initial reaction that appeared on his face was wide-eyed shock, though it quickly faded into an angry glare. He had no idea who these people were, but it was obvious they were after Dango: and Knives was not going to let anything happen to her. He felt her body slip away, but his hands kept grasping, clutching hers tightly, so that she couldn't get away from him: he would go with her, walk wherever her hand tugged him.
With one unlucky bump of another dancing body, though, the grasp on her hand was no longer maintained. She escaped, and two men were chasing after her. One man remained, standing between Knives and his chance to get to Dango. With a deep growl, Knives glared at the man, a fire brewing in his eyes. As he spoke, his voice carried an angry tone, a growl that would frighten most grown men. "Get the fuck outta my way before I kill you!"
He didn't kill the man. But he did draw his sword, and slam the butt of the sword's hilt into the man's face, successfully breaking his nose and knocking him out. The man fell to the ground, unconcious, blood pouring from his nose and creating a puddle on the floor. And at the moment, Knives could care less...he thought Dango was in danger.
As he came nearer, he noticed by the voices that she wasn't in danger. He only caught the tail end of the conversation - something about not getting attached to anyone, and that someone named "Sinatic" was the one who really loved her. Knives blinked, not understanding. As the men walked out of the door, they bumped into Knives; and he shoved right back, actually knocking one of them over. He didn't watch as the agent fell to the ground, he hurried in to see Dango.
"Are you alright?" He saw the painful, angry look on her face. He smelled the blood. It was obvious what the answer to his question was. Without hesitation, without even caring what those men outside thought, the dog boy pulled her close, hugging her tightly, comfortingly, one of his hands on the back of his head. "Don't worry, I heard part of it...they told you not to get close to anyone? Don't worry...whatever happened to you before won't happen now, I can promise that." He stroked her hair, and kissed the top of her head: his actions weren't about anything more than comforting her, being her friend in time of need. "It'll be alright...."

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"Are you alright?"
She barely noticed Knives standing there, but when she did she finally realized why he was asking.
Crimson Droplets -
"I did this to myself"
Then he hugged her, and her eyes widened, why would he hug her? He couldn't - he really shouldn't of -
"Don't worry, I heard part of it...they told you not to get close to anyone? Don't worry...whatever happened to you before won't happen now, I can promise that."
His words may of intended to be reassuring, but they weren't. Her body was trembling as she pulled away from him, her eyes looked completly lost as she looked at him.
"No, you can't promise that Knives. You can't promise anything, you don't know Sinatic. You don't know what he is capable of - - "
She wanted to tell him. She wanted to tell him everything, but that would put him in danger.
"Those men are more dangerous then you realize - its really not safe for you or anyone else to be around me."
He kissed the top of her head, and it almost brought tears to her eyes - why did things have to be this way?
"It'll be alright...."
"I - I'm not sure about that Knives. I'm not sure about anything anymore - "
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
She was talking, rambling on, trying to persuade him not to be with her anymore. He listened, but he didn't worry about any of her excuses. None of it worried him. As she pulled away from him, he just shook his head and looked down on her. His hand was still on her head, but now it had slid to the side, right over her ear. Gently, he brushed his fingers through her hair, and gave her an encouraging smile, waiting until she was done talking.
When her words came to an end, and they just stood there, staring at each other, Knives didn't do anything for a moment. He let her calm down a little, gave her a short moment where there were no words, no movement. And then, finally he spoke, calmly and tenderly, his voice low and gentle. "Dango....you're my friend. My good friend. One of my best friends....maybe my best friend. I really care about you, a lot. I promised I'd protect you in the forest that night, I'll keep my word. Nothing's gonna happen, ok?"
He stroked her hair again, gently. He didn't want her to worry, or to be sad anymore. He would do all that he could to keep his promise, and to keep this look off of her face....

"Your a stubborn puppy, you know that?"
But she hugged him anyway, pulling herself close to his body. It was comforting, despite knowing what she knew. Knives was willingly putting himself in danger and Dango didn't think he really believed it. The closer he got to her, the harder it was going to be for her if she ever had to -
"Knives, I have to tell you - something"
What could she say? As her hands braced themselves against his shoulders she looked at him as seriously as she could. That was until a frown found its way on her face - her chestnut hues stared at the now crimson hand print staining his shoulder.
"Uh - "
Quickly she pulled her hand away and reached for one of the napkins on a free table, using that to find a 'temporary' solution to her wounds.
" - sorry about that"
Suddenly, she didn't really have the heart to tell him what she wanted to -
"Did you maybe just want to clean that up, then join me back at the bar?"
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
As she stared up into his eyes, he gazed straight back down into hers, his eyes holding a soft look, nothing like her serious one. His smile even remained on his face. For a couple of moments, he stood there, waiting for her to speak; when she apologized, he initially thought she meant that she wouldn't tell him. It didn't matter; she'd tell him when she was ready, if it was important.
Then he noticed that she had averted her eyes from his. Now, she was looking at his shoulder, where her hand had just lifted from, to reveal a red mark of blood on his shirt. He blinked as he looked at it, then frowned as he looked at her hand. Both of his hands removed themselves from her waist, to grasp her hand, as he looked back to her face with a worried frown on his face. "You're bleeding! We should...uhhm...here,"
He reached up and grabbed the sleeve of his own T-shirt, and tugged, until it came apart at the seams. Once it was free, he slid it over his arm and off of him, and then put it over Dango's hand. Since his arms were bigger than her hand, and the shirt was a little loose on him anyways, it wasn't surprising that it didn't stay by itself; so Knives pulled it tight against her hand, and tied a knot in it, against the back of her hand, to try and cover the wound - it wouldn't stop the bleeding, but it would keep it from getting everywhere.
Next, he checked her other hand. In case that it was wounded to, he would repeat the process with his other sleeve. Then, ignoring the blood stain on his shoulder, he smiled at Dango again. "All better, you wanna go back down now?"

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"You're bleeding! We should...uhhm...here,"
"Ouch - "
Dango visably winced as he secured her wounds in the fabric of his shirt, a disappointed look on her face. Not from the wrapping of her wounds - no, she was glad about that. But from the fact that he cared so much about someone he barely even knew.
"Your a good kid, Knives."
"All better, you wanna go back down now?"
Dango looked over her shoulder, towards the dancing crowd below as the song changed to pick up its beat. She was almost positive that Knives was beginning to wonder more and more about her everyday -
At least it kept their friendship alive, to say the least.
"Sure, I could use some of that hard stuff to numb the pain away"
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
Meanwhile on the outside of the club, Isamu had brought a special guest with him. He was excited to have her in his company and been waiting to see her for quite some time. As they made their way into the club(matching clothes) the girl jumped around in an excited manner.
"WOW! Isa, it's so cool!"
"Heh, I thought you would like it! You want a drink?"
"Of course!"
The girl pinched his cheeks and ran up to the bar. As the duel redheads took a seat at the bar, Isamu spun on his stool to face the crowd. The girl busy choosing what to drink, didnt notice Isamu lighting a cigar and scanning through the club.
They both ordered the same drink, and while they waited, their feet tapped in unison to the fast paced music. Isamu still facing the crowd, spoke to the girl form the side.
"So how have you been?"
"You should know! We have kept in contact this whole time!"
"I know, but it doesn't mean I know how you been silly!"
The conversation continued on until their drinks arrived. They drank in silence, simply listening to the music. The girl facing the bar, Isamu leaning on it.
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
Knives nodded and smiled. She didn't start heading back down, so he decided to go first. He reached out to take her hand, but quickly thought better of it, and moved his hand to the middle of her back, gently guiding her alongside him, towards the stairs. He walked down the stairs, not saying anything; it wasn't awkward, rather, he was just going to wait until she was ready to speak. And if she wasn't going to tell him, it would be fine anyways.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, and entered the room again, a new familiar smell reached his nose. He blinked, and sniffed, then laughed a little. He looked over at Dango again, his head tilted to the side. "Well, it seems Isamu's here, somewhere."
He looked across, trying to see their table, but there were too many people in the way. Did Dango finish her drink? He shrugged again, this time to herself. It didn't matter, he would just have to order her a new one...
"What do you wanna do? Wanna go get another drink at the bar, or go sit down again....or, I dunno, any other ideas?"

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
The touch against Dango's lower back seemed innocent enough, but even in its subtle notion it had comforted Dango somehow. It was nice to have such a close friend, especially one as charming as Knives was. Though she doubted Knives even realized that -
She lead the way, down the stairs and towards the bar. She hadn't spotted Isamu until Knives had mentioned it. She glanced towards him, and noticed he was with a younger girl that barely looked old enough to drink.
Mind you, Dango shouldn't of been drinking herself.
"Well, it seems Isamu's here, somewhere."
"I see him, I wonder who that girl is that he is with?"
Dango squinted her eyes, her expression turning into a sour one as she eased away slightly.
"Thats so tacky, what kind of couple actually wears the same clothes? They look like brother and sister - "
"What do you wanna do? Wanna go get another drink at the bar, or go sit down again....or, I dunno, any other ideas?"
"Well, I guess we might as well go and say hello"
Dango reached for Knives' hand, guiding him towards the bar until the both of them were face to face with Isamu.
"Isamu, I'm disappointed. She looks a little young for you, wouldn't you say?"
That hint of sarcasm laced in her voice - was Dango, perhaps, jealous?
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"Isamu, I'm disappointed. She looks a little young for you, wouldn't you say?"
When Dango said that Isamu couldn't help but laugh. She obviously couldn't tell, then again she hadn't seen her face.
'Should we play with her bro?'
'Nah! Remember, I like her.'
'I know, but I would rather see you with lorie, shes so bubbly and cute.'
'I know, but Dango makes me feel different!'
'Whatever Isa!'
Isamu stood up and knudged his sister to get up as well, she kept her face towards the bar.
"She may not look it but she's the same age as me Dango. Hope she doesn't make you jealous or anything cuz..." ISamu looked over at his sister as he dragged out cuz, he decided to play with Knives and Dango a little bit. Yoko did a spin and gave a stanced that mirrored her brother's while he dragged out Cuz.
"...I'm Isa's sister Yoko, and from Isa I know all about you miss Dango!"
She gave Dango and knives a smile that resembled her brother's cheery smiled. She looked over at Knives then back at Dango, then Knives again.
"So are you two dating or something? Cause he is a cutie" Yoko asked as she put her hand to her chin, Yoko was usally cheery but was very protective of Isamu. Truly she wasn't interested in knives, she was interested in their response to the question. Yoko knew all about Knives little "adventure" with the dragon chick. 'If she lied to you about dating Isa I'm gonna tear this bitch from limb to limb' Isamu let out a nervous laugh as he wrapped his arm around his sister and puller her tight.
'Relaaaaaaaaax! I'm sure there is an explanation for everything'
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"Thats so tacky, what kind of couple actually wears the same clothes? They look like brother and sister -" Knives blinked, and looked across the room. He hadn't seen Isamu, and didn't really care at the moment that he was here. Instead, he had only smelled Isamu, and didn't care to find out where he was until Dango looked at him - he was too wrapped up in being with her. But when he did glance across the room, to look at Isamu, he blinked; that was a little strange. he sniffed the air, to see if he recognized her scent. Again, he blinked, and then laughed. "Well, they do smell a lot alike...."
He felt her tug at his hand, and he obediently followed behind her, smiling happily. It didn't matter what they did, he just liked being with his good friend. As they weaved through people towards the bar, Knives watched Dango; he tilted his head to the side a little, noticing the agression in her demeanor. In response to that, he squeezed her hand gently, coaxing her to calm down.
They came to the bar, and Knives stood next to Dango. He smiled a little at Isamu, and laughed a little. Other than that, he didn't say anything for a couple of moments, letting Dango and Isamu work things out. But it was obvoius very quickly that there was nothing to work out. When Yoko claimed to be Isamu's sister, he laughed again. "I thought you smelled similar...."
"So are you two dating or something? Cause he is a cutie" Knives laughed again, and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Nahh, we're not dating." He glanced at Dango. "We're just friends. Even if she is hot." He gave her a big smile as he said that.
And then he returned his gaze to Yoko. "And yeah, I know I am," He laughed a little, scratching his head again, still looking sheepish.

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"She may not look it but she's the same age as me Dango. Hope she doesn't make you jealous or anything cuz..."
"...I'm Isa's sister Yoko, and from Isa I know all about you miss Dango!"
"All about me? I find that a little hard to believe"
Dango was extremly uncomfortable at that moment, and it was hard to tell why. Or maybe it wasn't - she didn't like the way Yoko was looking at her.
Like she was ready to tear her to shreds -
So be it, if it came to that. One less person for Dango to have to 'care' about in the future.
"So are you two dating or something? Cause he is a cutie"
"Who? Knives and I? Hardly. I am not dating anyone."
Dango sideglanced Knives, looking him over as she called him 'cute'. She only managed a slight smirk as she took a step back, trying to cover her bandaged covered hands -
"Knives is free for the taking if you wish."
That was when she shot a glare to Isamu, Dango wasn't the type of person to just stand around and let someone take pitshots at her - regardless of whose sister they were.
"Nahh, we're not dating."
At least Knives spoke, it took her attention away from wanting to kill the girl -
"We're just friends. Even if she is hot."
"Uh - what does that have to do with anything?"
Dango was blushing. Again.
"And yeah, I know I am,"
"It's getting late"
Dango was scanning the crowd for any men in black suits, thankfully there wasn't any. Still, she couldn't just walk away with those last words - she had to address Yoko again.
"I'm well aware that you believe I will never be good enough for your brother, and that's fine just the way it is. I'm sure with a grill like that he can have any girl he chooses, so do both of us a favor and just keep away from me alright?"
Dango turned to leave, with or without her best friend in tow. The day started out horribly, and the end wasn't looking much better.
Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)"Knives is free for the taking if you wish...." Knives blinked, and looked between Yoko and Dango. That comment had confused him a little; and then, she stepped away, and he frowned in her direction. "Wait, what? When did I say that?"
"Uh - what does that have to do with anythi The frown on his face quickly changed to a smirk. He turned his body slightly, at an angle, so that he could focus more on Dango, though he was still somewhat facing the others as well. He could tell Dango was a bit irritated, but he was rather content with the situation: he was with his two friends, Dango and Isamu. And, if he tried to be funny, maybe Dango would laugh instead of being angry. So, he continued to smirk at her, as he responded, "What does it not have to do with anything?"
He blinked again now; she didn't respond to what he had said. Instead, she actually turned around and stalked off. Frowning, he looked over at Isamu quickly, to say, "Sorry, dude..." Quickly, he moved to go after her, weaving through the people in her direction.
Once he caught up to her, he reached slipped in front of her, trying to stop her. His hands stretched out, and he grasped her wrists (he didn't want to hurt her hands) and frowned a little at her, tilting his head to the side. "Dango....are you alright?" His hands slid up her arms, to her shoulders, and he pulled her closer; it wasn't quite a hug, but it was comforting, and could easily be a hug if he felt the need to in response to her answer.
"Listen...let's go somewhere else....uhhm....I'm sorry it's not been a good night, there's gotta be somethin I can do to make it better...." He tried to give her an encouraging smile. "Ask for anything, if I can do it I will, k?"

Re: Explanations Running High (Read OOC before joining)
As the scene unraveled Isamu and Yoko couldn't believe how sudden things changed. One moment that had shed some light on a misunderstanding, next Dango was pretty upset.
"I'm well aware that you believe I will never be good enough for your brother, and that's fine just the way it is. I'm sure with a grill like that he can have any girl he chooses, so do both of us a favor and just keep away from me alright?"
"WAIT!" Isamu and Yoko Shouted in unison, they both chase afted Knives and Dango. Isamu wanted to explain Yoko's behavior but Yoko had a different explanation and plan in mind, as they caught up to Knives and Dango she held her hand over Isamu's mouth.
"Look, its nothing like that!" She started nervously, the first person she physically met from MHS and already they were enemies. "This is a misunderstanding, how do I know if you're good enough for Isa. Even though he could have any girls he wants.... He wants you, and if Isa truly wants you that much I'm not going to cause any trouble."
"YOKO!!!! Why did you have to put by buisiness out like that?!"
Isamu's face was a bright red, he was blushing....VERY badly. Yoko simply flashed a smile and gave a laugh that resembled one that Isamu had given numerous times.
'Thanks a lot yoko, this is the MOST embarrassing thing you've done!'
'ehhhhh, shut up! You'll thank me for it one day! Now wrap your arm around hers!!!'
Yoko locked arms between Dango and Knives and glared at Isamu to do what she had instructed.
"Besides Miss Dango, I don't want to be enemies with the first girl I met from this school. Sooooo, lets all have a few drinks and chill, ok?" Yoko giggled as she glanced at Isamu, then Knives, and then Dango. "Don't mind Isa being quite right now, He's upset 'cuz you all know the truth!"
Isamu did as his sister instructed, if there was one thing he feared, was his sister angered. He didnt mind doing it it was just he was embarrassed, he whisper into Dango's ear. "I'm sorry about all this, it's all just misunderstood."
Isamu looked back at Yoko, she was up to something and he wasn't sure what. One moment she had disliked Dango with a passion and now she was trying to be buddy buddy, he just hoped it was for wicked reasons.
Right in the middle of leaving. Once Knives' hands came around her wrists she relaxed slightly. She frowned a little, only because what he saw in her was something she didn't want coming out.
Dango was a difficult to understand at times.
"Dango....are you alright?"
Was she?
"I'm sorry. Knives. I was just really uncomfortable back there. Your not a woman, so I guess its difficult to understand, but that girl's body language said it all - "
Knives pulled her closer.
"Listen...let's go somewhere else....uhhm....I'm sorry it's not been a good night, there's gotta be somethin I can do to make it better...."
"Its not your fault, alright? I just wanted to be alone for awhile"
"Ask for anything, if I can do it I will, k?"
Dango smiled softly, pointing towards the window as if ready to quote a line from a famous movie.
"You want the moon? Just say it and I will wrap a lasso around it and bring it to you"
Not exactly a direct quote, but hey -
"WAIT!"
"Huh?"
Dango took a step back from Knives, looking back at the two that were now making their way towards her.
"Look, its nothing like that!"
There was two things going on through Dango's mind right at that moment - but fortunately for all involved, she just decided to wait and hear Yoko through.
"This is a misunderstanding, how do I know if you're good enough for Isa. Even though he could have any girls he wants.... He wants you, and if Isa truly wants you that much I'm not going to cause any trouble."
"Huh?'
Now she was looking at Isamu.
"YOKO!!!! Why did you have to put by buisiness out like that?!"
Dango wore a disappointed look on her face.
"Besides Miss Dango, I don't want to be enemies with the first girl I met from this school. Sooooo, lets all have a few drinks and chill, ok?"
"If we become enemies, Yoko, it would be your own fault. You say you don't mind who your brother want's, but your body language tells a completly different story."
"Don't mind Isa being quiet right now, He's upset 'cuz you all know the truth!"
"Uh - "
Then she felt Isamu's arm wrap around her own, forcing Knives to back away just because Yoko now stood between them.
"I'm sorry about all this, it's all just misunderstood."
"I know its just misunderstood."
Dango reached for Isamu's wrist, clenching it tightly as she dragged him towards the door and outside. She didn't really care if the other two followed, what had to be done had to be done.
Outside it was quiet, less people meant Dango could actually talk to Isamu and seriously. When they reached outside she placed him so that his back was against the cold cement wall, her bandaged hands planted themselves on either side of his body.
Dango looked so serious, it was scary.
"I'm only going to tell you this one more time Isamu, and I'm going to tell you this with or without your nosy sister around. Your a nice guy, but I don't know you from a hole in the wall. I don't know what your favorite color is, I don't know your last name or where your favorite place to eat is. I don't even know that about Knives yet, and him and I spend alot more time together then you and I do."
Why did Dango feel like she already played this scene before?
"I told you that I can't get too close to anyone. Knives is just a good friend and they are already after him. They don't even want me to be hugged by him let alone date him! Do you remember when I told you I loved someone else? Do you want to know what happened to him? Do you??!!"
Shaking. Trembling. Dango had cracked. Her secretive self, her strong detremination to keep away from everyone, it had cracked. Her hands, now they laid at rest beside her - her head, snuck - staring at the pavement underneath her feet.
"They took it all away. Every moment that we shared, every memory - in an instant it was gone. Every touch, every embrace, every kiss - stolen. Add to that the promise that if it happened again - his memories wouldn't be the only thing erased. Do you know what it is like, Isamu? To love someone so much, and to have them love you - only to have to look into their eyes in the next instant and be just a stranger to them? I couldn't go through that again, I am not that strong"
Dango couldn't take it anymore as she collasped onto her knees, the pavement only serving as a painful reminder that she was still there - still alive. In the shadows of the night behind them, the headlights of a car were springing to life.
"If I could just stay away, if I could just do the job I am suppose to do, noone would be hurt. I'm not powerful, I'm not a meta human who can shoot energy beams from their hands. I'm really, nobody special, so then why do people even try to be close to me? I - "
The slamming of car doors. Two figures emerging from the shadows.
Both walked into the light, coming right behind Dango. One was tall, dressed in a black suit. While the other -
"Tsk Tsk, dumpling. Tsk Tsk"
Dango rose to her feet, her eyes narrowing - her fists clenching so tightly that her wounds were reopening.
"Sinatic."
"Aw, poor dumpling. I thought you would be happy to see your old friend. Aren't you going to introduce me? Seeing that you have already revealed so much - "
Dango only growled -
"Fine then. I will introduce myself - "
Sinatic stepped forward, towards Isamu, his small hand reaching out to him in a clean sophisicated move. Only, he couldn't get that far - Dango lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Sinatic's shoulders before he could take a step closer.
"You stay away from him!"
"Tsk Tsk Dumpling. I sure do miss this, such a soft body. You really should grab me like this more often"
A hand reached for her, its grip firm and tight as she was yanked back towards the second man. He rested his hand on her shoulder, crystal blue eyes gazing down at her with a calm stature.
"Now now Vicegrip. We told you not to forget who you worked for. You brought this on your self, you know"
"And besides, Dumpling. You shouldn't waste your time on men like this. They couldn't possibly know about you the way I do. I won't even hurt him, he won't even feel a thing - "
Dango tried to move, but she couldn't. The man that held her was way too strong. It was all happening again, and what killed her the most - was that she was powerless to stop it.
Re: Everything gone -
Knives caught the scent of the siblings, and turned around to see them come up behind him. Even so, he didn't let go of Dango's shoulders; he wanted them to go away at that moment, to leave her alone. After all, they were the ones who had caused her to be so upset, and he didn't want her to be that way anymore. So, when he looked at them, he shook his head at Isamu, as if to tell him, "Not right now..."
But while he was still giving Isamu that look, he felt Dango being pulled from him. When he looked down, he saw the new girl, Isamu's sister. He blinked, and tried not to let go of Dango; but as the redheaded girl forced her way between them, he could do nothing without hurting one of the girls. He frowned at the girl, and sighed. The three of them began to speak, and Knives just stayed out of it. He already had a good feeling Isamu liked Dango; that was no surprise.
The surprise came when Dango got angered by the situation; he blinked, and watched as she pulled Isamu towards the door. For a moment, he just stood there, his ears drooping, mouth frowning, and just a confused look on his face. For that moment, he had actually forgotten Yoko was with him, attached to his arm. But it was only short moment, and then he blinked, and looked down at her. His confused look turned into a bit of an angry glare, as he pulled his arm free of hers. "Damnit, why do you have to piss her off?!"
He didn't give her time to answer, he just ran towards the door, trying to chase Dango down; maybe he could calm her down again. Even after the agents had shown up earlier, he had done so: hopefully he could do it again. When he opened the door, he saw the two of them talking (well, Dango was talking...). As he heard the words spoken, he knew not to interrupt, so he stood back, against the building, and waited.
After he heard the story, he blinked. "So that's why she's worried? I won't let that happen..." As soon as she fell to her knees, Knives rushed to her; he couldn't catch her before she hit her knees on the pavement (he didn't want her to hurt herself again...), but when he got to her he kneeled down and placed a hand on her back, comfortingly.
Before he could speak, a familiar scent caught his attention. He lifted his head, and sniffed again. When he turned his head, he saw one of the agents from before stepping out of a car (which he had been to busy to notice pull up alongside them). Knives quickly stood up, just as Dango did, and glared at both figures that had stepped out. When the agent laid hands on Dango, His glare changed for the worst, and he clenched his fists tightly. But she wasn't being harmed; she would be much more hurt if this other boy was able to do whatever he did to Isamu, and Knives knew that.
So, as Sinatic moved towards Isamu, apparently completely ignoring Knives, the dog boy lunged at him, rearing back his fist. He had no time to form his claws; so he simply slammed down a punch, hitting Sinatic hard across the face. Knives was angry enough that he'd thrown a good deal of power into this punch, enough to probably send Sinatic to the ground quite painfully. And when that happened, Knives would be standing over him, glaring down.

Re: Everything gone -
Isamu was dumbfounded as he was being pulled by Dango. Where was she taking him? What Was she doing? Isamu just stared blankly, what was going on?
"I'm only going to tell you this one more time Isamu, and I'm going to tell you this with or without your nosy sister around. Your a nice guy, but I don't know you from a hole in the wall. I don't know what your favorite color is, I don't know your last name or where your favorite place to eat is. I don't even know that about Knives yet, and him and I spend alot more time together then you and I do."
"I know this Dango! Thats why I haven't tried anything with you. I enjoy hangin' out, it's fun...except when pricks stare at you!" He winked as he said the last part, trying to be light to the situation. "Yoko, she is nosy and she has a big mouth. I had told her about you and she blurted stuff out. Don't mind her, she just too protective of me. I got hurt once and she doesnt want it to happen again!"
'WHO'S BIG MOUTHED?????'
'Shut up, this isnt good time!'
"I told you that I can't get too close to anyone. Knives is just a good friend and they are already after him. They don't even want me to be hugged by him let alone date him! Do you remember when I told you I loved someone else? Do you want to know what happened to him? Do you??!!"
"Yeah I remember what you said---"
"They took it all away. Every moment that we shared, every memory - in an instant it was gone. Every touch, every embrace, every kiss - stolen. Add to that the promise that if it happened again - his memories wouldn't be the only thing erased. Do you know what it is like, Isamu? To love someone so much, and to have them love you - only to have to look into their eyes in the next instant and be just a stranger to them? I couldn't go through that again, I am not that strong"
Isamu was completely different now, the side showing was the serious Isamu, the one under all the joy and laughter. This was the Isamu that would be if it weren't for Yoko and Take. He stood there and listened until he felt it was right to speak. After Dango had fallen to the floor, Isamu kneeled next to her and looked into her eyes.
"Dango, I'm sorry... But I won't allow you to be alone again. Something like that couldn't happen to me so I'm not worried about that. I want to be able to protect you though!" His hands were placed on her shoulders for comfort, his eyes never looked away from her eyes the entire time. That was until...
"Tsk Tsk, dumpling. Tsk Tsk... Aw, poor dumpling. I thought you would be happy to see your old friend. Aren't you going to introduce me? Seeing that you have already revealed so much - "
Isamu wanted nothing more than too cut the guy up, she hated that nickname by it and he was callng her it. "Hey! Who the fuck do you think you are calling her by that name?"
"You stay away from him!"
"Tsk Tsk Dumpling. I sure do miss this, such a soft body. You really should grab me like this more often"
Isamu wanted nothing more than to just lunge at him and beat his ass but his attention was directed towards the othe guy.
"Now now Vicegrip. We told you not to forget who you worked for. You brought this on your self, you know"
"And besides, Dumpling. You shouldn't waste your time on men like this. They couldn't possibly know about you the way I do. I won't even hurt him, he won't even feel a thing - "
Isamu had had enough, this guy thought he had pretty big balls to be talking like that to Dango. After he was done speaking he withdrew Punishment. He watched as Knives attacked Sinatic and he moved in on the other guy.
"Get the fuck awaaaay from her!" Isamu shouted as he charged towards the guy. He threw a few kicks towards the guy's neck and spinal cord. A few moments later Yoko could be seen fist clenched running towards Isamu.
"I got ya back bro!!"
Yoko leaped in and swung her foot towrads the guys groin, the average kick was enough to drop a guy to his knees but Yoko had activated her advanced strength. As she tried to pull Dango away she was worried about one thing, everyon makig it out of this situation alive. She looked towards Dango with her hands on her shoulder.
"Hey are you ok? I'm gonna go help Knives, help Isa!"
"Hang on Knives!"
With that she charged towards Sinatic. As she pressed off and launched through the air she aimher blow near the base of his spinal cord and then gave a low swing kick to get the guy off his feet. Hopefully it would work.
Re: Everything gone -
Both men were at her side, trying to comfort her when she was down. It was an unfamiliar site to Dango, but the agent still managed to get ahold of her. It was obvious that Isamu's course of actions were - 'fight now, ask questions later'.
The only shot that made contact with Sinatic however, was Knives punch to the face. Sinatic's face snapped to the side as the fist made its contact, a low sadistic laughter followed as he raised his left hand to signal the agent and licked the blood from his lips.
Another agent stepped out the car, just as Isamu made his attack. He pulled Sadistic back into the safety of his jacket while he took the bunt force of the kicks. The reason being? He was one of the top agents, and built like an oxen. Every punch made didn't seem to phase him, but for some reason he didn't attack back.
Why? Because of who he was -
"Stop it! Isamu, Yoko! Stop it right now! That's my father!!"
Silence.
Her father now looked at her with a sympathic look. Perhaps it was really him that understood the situation most of all.
"Dango - I'm sorry about this. But you know how Zack is. It seems that he has been telling quite tall tales, haven't you Zack?"
"No! He can't have her! Nobody is going to have her!"
Unaware to the other agent, unaware to Dango's father, was just how desperate Sinatic was. But Dango saw, Dango saw the weapon - she saw Sinatic aim it for Knives without a second thought -
"NO!!"
It took only a moment, a fraction in time as the gun shot was heard. The smoke bellowed, beckoning its calling from the 22 pistol that Dango's father had kept in his holster. Dango leapt up, tackling Knives to the ground as the bullet pierced through her upper thigh. She landed with a thud ontop of him, an action that couldn't be undone -
"God dammit! Sinatic! Get in the fucking car now!"
Grabbing the gun from him, he nodded for the agent to escort him back to the car. Sinatic could barely move, his eyes almost bulging out of his head -
"It wasn't meant for her! It wasn't meant for HER!!"
"Put him in isolation for a week! I'll take Dango to the hospital"
Dango's father reached down, scooping up Dango's limp body with one arm. His caramel hues looked towards Knives, Isamu, and his sister.
"Unless you guy's think you can get her there any faster. If she wants to save that limb, I suggest you hurry"
