Tales of the Violii

Bound By Blood, Divided By Blood

AN: Sorry for the late update guys, my hands have been killing me lately and I just started senior year (yay!) so I'm very very excited...and I've been having some legal issues with my girlfriend, since she's 21 and I'm 17, so yea sorry guys. Also I just got back from Kyoto to see my dying Grandmother...not a fun visit for a few reasons, and lastly my AP English teacher is making us do an essay on the first fucking day! Mean bitch...anyways enough of my excuses onto the gory goodness!

Water splashes into Nina's face as the storm begins to grow outside of them churning the waters into a hellish soup. She tightly grips Erstins hand not letting her go for any reason. "Erstin hold on!" She shouts over the crashing waves at her friend who was hanging over the edge of the boat holding onto Nina with both arms.

"Nina! Help me!" She cries out her shrill voice barely piercing through the noise of the storm. Some distance off Miyu stands holding onto Alyssa tightly who despite being in eminent danger does not seem the least bit concerned.

"Miyu come help!" Nina shouts at the silver haired woman who just keeps standing there.

"I'm sorry milady but Alyssa's safety comes first. I must protect her at all costs just like I promised to her mother." She says calmly literally tying herself and Alyssa to the mast of the large Egyptian boat to secure herself and the girl to her front with her face just above her chest.

Nina growls. "Damnit! Erstin hold on!" She tries to pull her friend up desperately.

"Nina I'm slipping!" She cries out as her hands start to slide off of Nina's who's grip on her hand tightens and pulls her up just a bit farther.

"Almost...!" She grunts and pulls Erstin back on board but in the process her inertia causes her to fall over the edge of the ship into the black water below.

"NINA!" Erstin screams at the top of her lungs desperately searching for her friend who had disappeared underneath the waves, after a few minutes of searching Erstin gives up and falls to her knees sobbing. "Nina...please be safe."

A few thousand miles away Shizuru stands before her fellow Romans in the field of battle.

A spear points at her followed by several other weapons. "What is the meaning of this treachery Scipii!" She shouts at the general Nagi Dai Artaii who starts to chuckle.

"Shizuru Viola Fujino...You are under orders from the emperor himself to stand down and submit to your execution." He hops off his horse and steps closer to her drawing his short sword.

Shizuru looks around trying to appear calm and collected, but her eyes betray her as she looks over towards the now decimated village that once housed the Wolfhounds of Duran and their allies. "You...killed them all..." She stares in disbelief.

His laughter grows louder. "That's right. Well, they are still putting up a fight, but we have destroyed their village, even if they do win they will have nowhere to go. The hound of Duran is destroyed. " He smirks making Shizuru chuckle a little.

"Sorry Nagi, but the Hound of Duran isn't even there." She stands with her hand on her hip confidantly facing her opponent. "Now then. Get on with it!" She taunts him, daring him to even attempt to attack her.

He growls. "Archers! " The sound of bows being strung reaches Shizuru's ears behind her closed eyes. "Aim...Fire!" He shouts just as Natsuki jumps out in front of Shizuru on a horse holding two roman shields. Several arrows hit the horse and it tumbles to the ground ejecting Natsuki towards Shizuru where she does a butterfly kick in mid air and lands in front of Shizuru with both Shields raised with more than just a few arrows sticking through it.

"Shizuru!" She hands her a shield and makes the front part of the tortiose formation. "Testudo!" She shouts at the honey haired general who nods and places her shield on top of Natsuki protecting them from both directions of arrow fire. As soon as the rain stops Natsuki grabs Shizuru's hand and dashes off into the woods at a near super human speed giving Shizuru a very hard time to keep up.

"Natsuki! Slow down!" She says quickly to Natsuki who looks back at Shizuru and notices the Romans not following.

She slows down to a walk and looks at Shizuru. "Are you alright?" She asks with a smile. Shizuru nods.

"Thanks to Natsuki." She leans on the blunette who flares up instantly.

"Sh-Shizuru! What are you doing!" She looks away blushing furiously.

Shizuru stands up off of Natsuki. "Sorry...I-I just...Never mind." She looks at Natsuki just as she takes a step closer to her. "Natsuki...? What are you...Mmph!" Her sentence is cut off as Natsuki's lips connect with hers causing her mind to instantly go blank. Natsuki puts her hands on the taller girl's waist and holds her closer as the kiss becomes more passionate and more heated and before both of them new it they were both rolling in the grass, lips connecting and disconnecting every few seconds.

Shizuru's tongue flicks across Natsuki's bottom lip begging for entrance to which Natsuki eagerly obliges opening her mouth for the older girl her hair falling out of the ponytail she had put it in. Shizuru unfastens her armor and begins to strip.

"Take me Natsuki..." She says softly and straddles Natsuki her clothes falling off her shoulders and onto the ground. Natsuki once again flares up.

"Alright..."

Mikoto spins around on her sword planting her heel into the skull of a centurion and flipping off of it and kneeing another in the face before falling back onto the ground into a backwards flip and cartwheel over to her sword which she pulls out of the ground and stabs through the shield of another soldier skewering him and another behind him. "You guys never give up do you." She tornado kicks another in the jaw breaking his teeth out and spitting blood onto her face which she quickly wipes off.

"Mai..." Her eyes widen as she realizes what she had forgotten. "MAI!" She dashes off back towards the burning village.

When she arrives she nearly explodes in anger at what she sees. Mai is lying with her clothes torn on the ground next to a burning building knocked out cold. Mikoto rushes over to her and feels her pulse. "That the gods...She's alive..." She takes off her robe and puts it over Mai. "I'll protect you..." She picks up Mai and carries her away from the fire and into the forest.

Mikoto sets her down on the ground. "I'll be back for you." She kisses Mai's forehead before darting off back into the field.

Haruka crushes two soldiers skulls together squishing both of their brains. "Stupid assholes." She tosses them to the side and turns around to go crush more skulls when she sees all of the Romans around her are backing off fearing for their lives.

"Ha! To scaled to fight me?! Pathetic." She laughs heartily and takes pounds her chest armor denting it.

A path clears in the Roman ranks where a tall heavily muscled centurion steps forward and hold out his hand for Haruka to shake. Being a former gladiator Haruka knows what she is expected to do. She steps forward and grabs his arm just below the elbow as he does to her and gives it a hearty shake. "A fight it is!" She chuckles and steps back and throws her first punch which he blocks and punches her in the gut hard enough to make her gasp for breath and shuffle back.

"You aren't part bad. I'll have to be serious." She cracks her knuckles and lunges at him ready to kill him. She punches him in the face his nose making a sickening crack.

He reels back and starts to throw punches at her, left right hook punches. All which she dodges easily and punches him again in the face and kicks him back into a group of soldiers. "Come on That all you got?" She scoffs and grabs his tunic and punches his throat. " Not even worth the fight." She throws him into another group of Romans and walks off to find someone willing to fight.

to be continued...

AN: Sorry about the bad ending spot, didn't want to make this chapter run on and on and on so I figured I'd end it there, guess I lied last chapter when I said it was a Nina/Erstin chapter.

So Natsuki and Shizuru had their first kiss and other things at the same time, but is it love? I don't know, you'll have to wait and see how much I feel like trolling you guys :)

Anyways, please R/R and don't be surprised if I take a while to update.

Ugh...court in the morning...I hate this bullshit.

R/R-Chizu, 1/3 of the way done.
