Ren's eyebrows furrowed. With one swift movement, he latched his fingertips on to her wrist. Staring tensely into her eyes, he said, "I told you to entertain me. You're not getting out of it this time. We need to talk."
He looked behind him, scoffing at the fight going on in the background.
Probably best not to get involved. Not with how close I am.
"Why did you leave us?"

"Exactly, Kitten. If you were so bent on savin your toy, you would have killed me. You really are useless to her." Sydra smiled, as she clapped.
She was satisfied with herself now and looked at Leo.
"What memory should I make her relive now. How about the training she received for liking you? Oh the horror. Such a bad memory. I can't believe she's still sane from it. Let's bring that up, shall we?" Sydra smiled.
Aya dropped to her knees holding her head and she began to cry.

Leo the got up and grabbed Sydra by the throat, squeezing down on it tightly. "Stop what you're doing now..." He ordered as his hair and blood started to slowly turn black while his eyes burned with the color of red blood.

Eioku swallowed hard, staring down at his hand, tightly clasping at her wrist. Imprisoning her. There was no getting up now... No leaving.
"I left because..." She had to look away. "Y-You all forced pity upon me and not support. I got sick of it."

"Why? You kill me. You're hindering Aya's chances in the next round. Only I can fix her from the mental state she is in and you know it." Sydra smirked, as she made Aya's condition worse.
"Make it stop." Aya cried.
"Besides, you don't care what happens to her. Admit it." Sydra laughed.

"IF I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HER THEN I WOULD HAVE KILLED HER BEFORE SO I COULD JOIN HAO!" Leo yelled in anger squeezing harder on her throat. "You aren't going to help her, you're going to use her... and I won't let you!"

Ren leaned back in his seat, not fully suprised by her answer. "Yeah, that's what I thought you'd say," he said, quietly. "You left because you felt like an obligation, is that right?" He let his thumb move up and down on her skin, tracing the scars that he knew were there. They were jagged, rough... Such a contradiction to the girl he'd first met. Before all of this had darkened her. What a wretched thing...

"Y-Yes... That's it... I felt like everyone thought they HAD to look after me. I didn't want the sympathy. I wanted support. And you all... just treated me like some sort of sick dog."
She looked away, her cheeks turning red at the feel of him stroking her scars. Somehow, it made them feel cleaner, like it wasn't as much of a crime as she knew it was...

Sydra smirked and looked at Aya.
"You're right about that but she's going to die. She's just another pawn in the game. You would know all about that. You sacrifice her happiness to fulfill your own desires after she nearly gave up everything to help you. Besides, what fun is it to leave her brain dead? I need her and you can't stop me. Wanna know why? Because you are on her enemies team. I'll release her but on one condition..." Sydra choked out.

"What is this condition...?" Leo asked as he glared up at her while slowly raising her up into the air.

"Eioku... Look..." Ren said, quietly, shifting his weight. "I don't care what you think about me, or about Leo, or Aya... Anybody that has been there. The fact of the matter is that these scars..." He lifted up her hand, exposing her wrist. "...They don't belong there. We wanted to help you. We weren't trying to push you away."

"You will never attempt to stop my mind manipulation. Otherwise, I will force Aya to kill herself in front of you. Now get your hands off my throat." Sydra growled, ripping Leo's hands from her neck. "The damage I've done to her isn't nearly as bad as to what it will be next time you try to stop me."

"Fine..." Leo said before letting her drop to the ground and walked over to Aya, leaning down and hugging her. "I'm sorry that I'm not strong enough Aya. But I will make myself stronger.... I'll come back and kill this woman so that you'll be free." He whispered before giving her one last kiss.

Sydra clenched her teeth. She needed to keep this boy away from Aya. She rolled her eyes and entered Aya's mind to fix the damage she did. Aya was too far gone to realize Leo's kiss and she fell against Leo. Sydra smirked. Aya had collapsed against Leo.

Leo held her up and tightly in his arms, feeling sadness and rage start to follow through him as his blood began changing red again while it slowly returned into his body.

"Your thoughts are so immature. After all you've done to her, it's amazing she still cares about you. I will continue to use her but I won't manipulate her. You can calm down, Kitten." Sydra smirked. "So ends my fun."

Eioku's face flushed, and she finally brought herself to look up at him. She could feel it in her chest despite her hostile obligation; Her heartbeat, speeding up, growing heavier as it hit up against her chestplate over and over...
"You honestly think that I can go back now? I'm loyal to Hao-Samma, Ushio, and Houka... They're like a family to me."

"You will pay for this Sydra..." Leo said as he took off his necklace and placed it around Aya's neck, the red jewel in the middle of it shining like a star. "But for now I can't do anything to stop you..."

Ren's face shrunk. "Family? Eioku, are you insane?!" He snapped, yanking her arm towards him to extend it. "Look at this!"
His fingers tightly gripped her wrist, his free hand tracing up and down a cut that wasn't even a scar yet, just one long scab.
"This is recent! How can you call these people your family when they're letting you harm yourself?!"

Eioku had only seen Ren like this once before. That was when he ended up chasing her out of the inn. Here, on the plane, thousands of miles above ground, there was no running. There was no escaping it this time. No alley to run to, no streets to walk on. It was only Ren. "L-Look, I don't need your approval, okay?!" Eioku snapped back, pulling against his hold. "You don't know what that came from! Maybe I got cut up in a fight, huh? Did you ever stop to consider that?! I've got no reason to cut myself now!"

"No. I don't suppose you can. Right now she's in the middle of the reconstruction process. If your lucky, she remembers you the way you are and not what I made you in her memory." Sydra smiled.
Sydra released her spirit control and Kisani shook her head.
"It's a potential side effect. Most likely, she won't." Sydra smiled.

"What did you make me in her memories...?" Leo asked as he looked down at Aya and felt something start to change inside of him.

Ren's furious look melted as she spoke those final words. He looked at her solemnly, his fingers aching to reach forward and pull her closer...
"Eioku..." He exhaled, loosening his grip on her wrist. "I know that this didn't come from anyone's sword but yours. Why are you doing this to yourself if its making you so unhappy?" He couldn't even believe the words coming out of his mouth. Recent events clearly had taken quite an impact on his life.
Moving quickly, he lifted the arm rest dividing them and grabbed her shoulders, jerking her forward. "You can't honestly tell me that this is what you want."

"Who's to say? I might have made you her father who was hardly there, her grandfather that abuse her physically, or an unnamed jerk in her memory that stole her virtue only to dump her later. Like I said before. She will most likely remember you as you are to her." Sydra smiled as she returned to her seat. "You're funny when your worked up. That senitmental gift you gave her. Do you think she will believe it means something?"

Eioku tried moving backward as the arm rest, her only means of protection, flew past her head back up into its normal position. She flinched as Ren jerked her towards him, staring down tensely into her eyes, as if piercing through to her soul."You can't honestly tell me that this is what you want." He was right... but... No. There was no way she could flat out admit defeat. Not when she had come so far in such a short amount of time... Not when she was finally making something of herself.
"Ren, don't..."
