Kat walked through the door and closed it behind her with Kyo sill in her arms. She walked over to the couch and set Kyo down gently. "Lance? are you home?" She called. She waited for a reply. As she did she asked Kyo, "Do you need food or water?"

The cat merely sighed, "Water." She didn't budge, not a peep or a sound came from Kyo. Nothing would snap her out of her depression at the rate she was going.

Kat frowned, she didn't like seeing her this way. She walked to the kitchen and filled a bowl with water. She walked back and placed it on the couch so she didn't really have to move that much. She figured Lance wasn't home.

Kyo placed her small cat head in the water bowl and didn't move anymore. She eventually began to pass out.

Kat ran around the couch and grabbed kyo. "Kyo!" She held her as she waited for Lance. "Come on everything will be ok." How kyo was acting almost pointed to the right decision but she was still confused.

The running of water can be heard from the kitchen sink and Lance appears to be washing his hands. Crimson liquid drips from the spiked gauntlets of his dark plate mail armour as he does so. It is obvious both that he had been out hunting and that he had literally just arrived home. A glowing crystaline blade rests at his side, pulsating a purple colour into the shadows of the room. As Lance washes his hands he looks over his shoulder at Kat. His eyes seem to be dimming, as though he had just come from combat, but his body shows no signs of it.
Lance dries off his hands, turning towards the Kat as he does so. He places the towel back and both his armour and blade dissapear. He stands just as he allways had, unchaged by the years due to changes in his soul. His black feathered wings drape around him like a cloak and his fangs rest gently on his bottom lip as he leans up against the sink…

Kat looked over her shoulder to him. She stood up and walked around the couch slowly as not to disturb Kyo. She walked up to Lance and just sighed. "Shes not doing well..." she stroked Kyo softly from her head to the middle of her back.

Lance looks at the cat but his eyes show no recognition. His mind is stil in combat mode, running at a thousand miles a minute, he was in no state to figure things out at the moment. "Really..?" he asks, looking the cat over, noticing that it seemed sick. He had not know Kat as the type to take in stray animals, but perhaps this one had simply caught her eye.
He steps forwards, off of the counter, and gives the cat a once over. "Nothing appears physically wrong with her, aside from the total lack of locational awareness or reaction to physical contact..." he says, in a puzzled tone. He gently strokes down center of the cats back, out of habit from a time long forgotten. "Where did you find her..?" he asks, looking back up at Kat.

The cat popped her head up and looked without emotion, "Shit, I knew it." Kyo's dull fur and ashy gray eyes made her look pathetic, "No surprise." She tried to drown herself again.

"Lance! Don't tell me you seriously don't remember this cat?" She held kyo in one arm and fixed lance's arms witht he other. She then place Kyo in his arms. "Look again, and then ask me again. Though I don't think you will need too." Kat waited for his reaction.

The dull orange cat looked into his eyes without emotion, "Gee, thanks a lot." She was limp, almost lifeless as a doll. At that point there was no reason to try and make him remember, there obviously no love for her anymore.

Lance looked down at the cat in his arms and instantly something about him changed. His eyes flashed, turning pure white and his wings vanished. He had gone into shock. "K-kyo... Oh my god..." he says, his voice faint. As he stops talking small rivulettes of blood begin to trickle down for the right side of his mouth, without realizing it he was digging his fangs into his own mouth. He couldn't even thing streight enough to feel the pain from his own fangs...

Kat knew he would remember, but she didn't like how he acted. "Lance...Lance?" She asked trying to shake him out of it.

"Blood," said the emotionless cat. She neither twitched nor flickered of happiness; she only remained in her once lover's arms and stared blankly. Not even Lance's shock could spark her inner fire.

*I hadn't dared to even believe she would come back. I had thought whe was gone for good. How could I have ever thought that. Dear god how must seeing Kat and me make her feel. I thought she had left me. [size=0=What do I do now.[/size] Why could I not sence her return. I thought she had left me. I'm bleeding.[/size] Was she in the time vortex too. I'm worrying Kat. I thought that she left me...*[/i] All of this and a thousand other thoughts ran through his head instantly. His mind was a whirlwind of broken thoughts and fragmented memories.
His mind began to calm and his eyes returned to normal. He released his bite and looked down at Kyo, a single tear falling from his cheek to the floor. But he says nothing, just stands there looking down at she whom he had thought he had lost forever...

Part of Kat was over joyed to see the he had remembered, and the other was beating herself up for letting them meet. That was the side that wanted everything to stay just how it was now. She sighed she didn't know whether to leave them be or stay.

A glaze washed over Kyo's ashy gray cat eyes, "What's wrong, you're perfectly content now aren't you?" Her monotone was all she had to speak with, "What's the point in loving me?" All the orange in her fur was now a dull and dark ash colour.

*I didn't sence her return... What do I do now? How could I not sence her return... Say something. What happened in these years that could have done such a thing...*
"I-I thought you had left... Realizing that you were gone had nearly killed me... It drove me past the brink of sanity... I had thougth I lost you..." To be more correct, Lance to this day did not remember what exactly he had done after Kyo had vanished. He simply remember waking up several weeks later covered in blood, his cloths torn and shredded, in the middle of a European forest.

Kat pulled herself away, it was hard. She walked to the stairs stopping to look back one more time would she come back down to a husbandless living room or a dead cat? She sighed again and walked up stairs each step getting harder and harder to take.

Kyo blankly stared, "You lived those ninety years, you at least have a sense of reality." Her ash eyes looked to the left in thought, "I've been missing for ninety years, yet I feel like I've only been gone for a minute." She sighed, "My internal flame is lost, be happy you've lived a decent life."

Lance sences Kat leave the room, but he is to preoccupied with a deppresed Kyo to aknowledge that. He walks over to the couch and sits down, placing Kyo gently on his lap. He looks down at her, his eyes speaking volumes of sorrow and regret...
*I should have found her. In all these years I couldn't come up with a simple way to simply bring her back... But I thought she had left me... Why would I have brought someone back that didn't want to see me...*
There was nothing one could really say to that. It was true, he had lived happily for those 90 years. As for her flame... He knew not what to do to help her... She seemed non responsive, and he felt powerless to help her. "I'm so sorry..." he says softly... "Had I known what really happened I would have searched for you. I would have found a way to bring you back..." he says, his voice filled with pain...
Pheonix appeared at the door. Having been Lances companion for all time made her attuned to his emotions no matter where she was. And she had felt this from a long way off. She instantly realizes what is wrong too... Kyo had returned. Lance could deal with hordes of enemies stronger than human, fight off beings that made gods tremble, but hurt one of his loved ones and he was powerless. Make him feel like it was his fault and you would crush him from the inside out.
Pheonix knew better than to interfiere with him, but she senced Kat was in the house aswell. This had to be painfull for her aswell, and Pheonix did not like that, Kat was a good woman, and Pheonix liked her. He teleported silently to Kat's side, placing her hand on the womans shoulder... "How ya holdin up..?" she asks softly...

Kat jumped when she appeared as she was just about to take that last and metophoricly hardest step, but was stopped and stayed on the second to last. "I'm ok I guess, well not really I'm torn between everything and everyone, Eclipse, Lance, Raid, Kyo." She leaned against the wall, "I don't know whether to be happy or sad....or possibly even angry."

Kyo's sorrowful, ash, gray, cat eyes were now in the look of regret. It was as if all of this was her fault and there was nothing to do about it. She sighed deeply, "I'm sorry I have to put you through this intense pain. I shouldn't have come back at all. I know you loved me, you had no way of knowing, but I'm a thing of the past." Kyo was beginning to panic again, "I'll move on, and break down, loose everything for every, die alone, makes things alright, right?!"

Lance closes his eyes and sighs "Kyo don't." he says, his voice sounding tired. "First off don't mention death at all. Your not dying. Period." he says, his voice soft. "And I don't mind the pain. I know that you are safe. I know that you are alive. That is much better off than I was." he says with a weak smile. "Just... I don't know. Calm down for a minute... I'm sure we can figure things out..." he says, his voice kind and calm as he strokes Kyo's fur once gently...
Pheonix nodds. "That is understandable... But you must realize that you are not the only one. How do you think the others feel. Lance is in the same boat as you are. And the other two are questionably worse off." she says, her voice low, calm, and kind. "It might take a while to sort things out. But you and Lance are the two most caring individualy I have ever met. And I am sure that you two will figure out a way to make things work out..." she says, giving Kat a reasurring smile.

Kat looked away from her, "Your right I don't know how I could have been so selfish." She sighed. "Its just, well I'm a little scared, the only reason I have lance is cause he thought Kyo left, he was under full impression that SHE didn't want HIM not the other way around, and now he knows that wasn't true." She did know in the back of her mind that same went for her. The only reason he had her was for the same reason with Raid, but that wasn't the side of her speaking now.

Curiously moving her tail, Kyo bit it to return to reality. Her eyes were pure light for a second, then she returned to a faint colour. She sighed again, "You're right, I don't have to die." Ice blue cat eyes looked into Lance's, "So how do you suppose we do this? To you, you've been married to Kat forever. To me, yesterday was our wedding day." A cold, faint, yet scary smile spread upon her face, "Don't worry about me though, I love you and I know that you love Kat more. I'll just take a long time to heal, but I'll be alright. I've had to cope with this before." Kyo still wanted Lance to love her, but she knew there wasn't a chance of her stealing Lance away from Kat a third time.

Lance shook his head "Kyo, please stop." he says, his eyes shadowed by some unseen object. He looks down at her. "I'm a little confused right now, and you saying that you want to leave again isn't really helping." he says with a sigh. He strokes her fur absentmindedly as he tries to sort his thoughts.
Pheonix spun Kat around and pulled her to her feet so quickly that she would have never had a chance to stop her. She looked directly into Kats eyes as she spoke in a partonizing tone. "Lance loves you Kat. He allways has. Even when his mind was wiped clean of memories he still had feelings for you. When he came back from being Fate and found that you would rather be with Raid it nearly killed him. But he did not argue it just so long as you were happy. Yes he loves Kyo. Just as you love Raid. But he has been with you for 90 years for christs sake, you think that is easily forgotten..?" she asks, her tone harsh.
Suddenly Pheonix took on a softer edge, squeezing Kats shoulder lightly. "Lance is not one to do anything he doesn't want to. For him to have stayed with you for 90 years is a testament to his love for you. You didn't have to hear him after he found out that Raid was back. He was afraid you were simply going to forget about him and go back to Raid. And against all my pushing he was going to quietly go with it and vanish from your life if that was what you wished, just so long as you were happy." she says, shaking her head and smiling kindly at Kat.
"He truly cares about you Kat. Give him time, and be there for him as I know he would be there for you had you simply asked. Help each other through this and decide together what you think would be best, both for you and your daughter..." she says, her tone allmost motherlike in attitude...

Kyo's fur began to resemble fire as the colour replaced her emotion of anger. Pheonix's words were ignored until now, but rather than acknowledging her words she just growled in a very harsh and angry way. Speaking would make matters worse for all, attacking would wind up getting someone killed, and sulking does nothing anymore. Kyo's blazing, orange fur and furious, blood red eyes showed Kat and Pheonix she was not a happy kitty.

"I had no idea...." She said in a soft voice. "I just thought he easily moved on back then, That one night in the garden, he seemed so sure so completely sure even when it could easily be seen I could still pick him over Raid." She began to cry, "And now I'm standing here doubting him almost and acting as if these past 90 years have meant nothing." Kat starred at her for a moment and then broke down into tears, something she never did. "I'm a horrible wife, how could I doubt his love so much?" It a somewhat of rhetorical question. "And to put Eclipse through what I did? Might as well be a horrible mother too." Tears poured she had never acted like this before. Another question arose in her mind. Why the hell did any of the guys shes with fight for her? They all were just going to leave and never see her again, did they really think that would make things better or something?
