By: Tamouma and Rianu Hetaaru
Rianu's Sarafice
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*The base is quiet, as most of the soldiers and engineers are on vacation. A basic skeleton crew has been left to run and defend the base, including the heroes in our story. Gabriel and Momo are preparing to for rest, while the others are beginning to wake...*
*Karen is the first to awake, and after a brief shower she goes into the mess hall from breakfast*
Karen: *she orders a basic breakfast and sits down at the table and begins eating*
Duo: *Duo walks into the mess hall, a few minutes after Karen. He walks past Karen and stops... his jaw drops to the ground*
Karen: Duo what are you looking at!?
Duo: Uh... you're... um... *he stutters and points*
*A man standing 6'3" walks into the mess hall.*
Karen: *eats her food for a moment then stops and looks up at Duo.* Duo... its just a bra. Go eat.
*The man's dark purple eyes scans the room. His hair is blond and slicked back. The clothing he was wearing was a nice suit with a white collar and the coat and pants were of a dark blue color. He was well built and very handsome...*
Karen: *She looks up and notices the man, her eyes slowly change from purple to orange* (Purple is happy, orange is confusion)
*The man looked like he ment business and looks over to Karen and Duo. He walks over and still looks around*
Duo: Who is that guy?
Karen: Not sure, he looks tough, not someone that you'd want to pick a fight with.
*He stops at the table the two were sitting at and bows formally* Excuse me *his voice cold and threating* Have you seen a Miss. Hetaaru around?
Karen: *She stands up.* Who is asking?
*Karens eyes fade from orange to red*
*The man looks at her* I am a former employer of hers and I was told that she was to be found here.
Karen: Maybe... could I get a name?
Man: That is something I can not tell you young lady. I must speak with her where can I find her?
Karen: Young lady?! *Her eyes grow even redder* I do not believe you need to see her if you cannot even give me your name. *She grabs his arm*
Man: Please...do not get angry with me I just have some business to talk to her about.
Karen: Fine, but you are going to have an escort. Duo, would you please take this... gentleman to Tamouma's quarters?
Duo: Sure thing Karen, follow me.
Karen: Thank you. *She leaves for her quarters*
*The man bows again* Thank you.
Karen: *She ignores the man*
Duo: Ok, just follow me. *Duo leads the man to Tamouma's room and knocks loudly on the door*
*Tam is up and already dressed* Who is it?
Duo: Uh... Duo and some guy!
*Through the door* what guy?
Duo: Some guy who says he was a former employer of yours!
Tam: okay hang on....*she opens the door and sees Duo then her attention to the man. Her mood completely went on the defense and see scowled at him* Lyabee.
Duo: All right... I'm gonna go now... *Duo runs off*
*Lyabee looks at her* Lyabee: You haven't changed at all Miss Hetaaru.
*Tam just glares at him* Tam I could say the same about you! Your still a worthless good for nothing son of a bitch!
Gabriel: Huh? Me?
Tam: Hi Gabriel. *Lyabee gives him an evil look and just stands there*
Gabriel: Tam, have you seen Momo? For once... I can't find her...
*Tam ignores the fact that Lyabee is standing there* I think she went to the mess hall.
Gabriel: Why would she be at the mess hall... we don't eat there anymore... *he walks off*
*Lyabee is getting irrated* Tam: Why don't you come in so that no one will see you!
*Lyabee bows and goes into her room. Tam walks out for a second to find some one* Tam: Damn it! Where is Rianu?
*A few moments later... Rianu walks up to Tamouma* Rianu: I heard you calling me.
Tam: Good. *drags him into her room and shuts the door*
Rianu: Ok... somethings different...
*Lyabee stands up and glares at Rianu*
Rianu: *Sensing Lyabee's anger he turns and looks down upon the man. Rianu cross his arms* Who are you?
Lyabee: I could ask you the same question!
Rianu: Fine. I'm Rianu Kerureyu Hetaaru, now, who are you?
Lyabee: I am Rodchester Lyabee a former employer of Miss. Hetaaru.
Rianu: Good, now what are you doing here?
Lyabee: I came to give Miss. Hetaaru a job.
*Tam almost laughs at the reasoning. Tam goes serious and looks at Lyabee* Tam: How much?
Lyabee: Almost 4 times as much that you make here.
Rianu: What we do here is more important than anything you might have planned for her. Its unfortunate that more people don't realize just how important.
*Lyabee gives Rianu a evil look* Mr. Hetaaru. I don't think you understand how.....fragile this next mission will be. And we need an expert on it and since Miss. Hetaaru has worked with my company before I know that she will do the job properly.
Rianu: I don't like your attitude, but Ms. Hetaaru is no longer on our payroll. She is certainly free to do what she pleases.
*Tam looks at Rianu and then glares at Lyabee* Tam: I know your games Lyabee! It's going to be like how it was when you first employed me isn't it?! Well I am sorry to say that you fell through the last time and what makes you so sure that you will succeed this time?
*Lyabee looks at her and smiles* MY dear Miss. Hetaaru! You dare accuse me for doing something? I canpay you whatever you desire to do one little joib for me. How does that sound? And I promise My men won't touch you!
*Rianu tenses up at the mention of Lyabee's men...* Rianu: Sir, you are obviously becoming an annoyance. I can have you removed from this base if I so desire.
*Tam thinks hard and thinking of the first time she was employed by him. 'If it wasn't for Trowa and Quatre that day I would have never made it out alive...but...the pay is good...' Tam's senses got the better of her* Mr. Lyabee. I will go and work for your company only for this one job. You must promise me something though.
*Lyabee looked at her* Name it. *Tam thought it over* Tam: No killing.
*Rianu dropped his arms and his eyes shot open* Rianu: Tam?
Tam: I don't want to kill anyone. Anything else I will do. *Lyabee looked at her and smiled* Lyabee: Done then. You will need to leave the day after tomorrow. *Tam looked at him and nodded* Tam: Fine. *Lyabee left the room and looked quite satisfied*
Rianu: *Rianu just stood there silent until Lyabee left, and then finally spoke* Tamouma/
Tamouma? What happened?
*Tam stood there and a tear dropped. She wiped it qickly away and looked at Rianu* Tam: Nothing. Go see Gabriel to know.
Rianu: *He takes a step closer* Why don't you tell me?
*Tam looked at him with fear in her eyes* Go see someone else about it.
Rianu: Tamouma... obviously something very painful happened... but if you're not ready to talk about it, I'll drop it.
*Tam looked at him and smiled* thank you.
Rianu: You are welcome. Here, take this. *He pulls a com device out of his robe*
*Tam looks at it* why?
Rianu: I don't trust that man... if you find yourself in danger, you can use that to contact me, regardless of where you are.
Tam: *takes it* Thank you....Rianu.
Rianu: *He bows* You are welcome.
*Tam thinks for a moment* Rianu...?
Rianu: Yes Tamouma?
Tam: Trowa and Quatre knows what has happened go to them if you want to know what happened. It's just to hard to tell anyone.
Rianu:I'd prefer if I could hear it from you, but I will talk to them instead, if you wish.
Tam: They have better knowlege of it. I would rather forget about it.
Rianu: *He places his hands on her shoulders and nods, he slowly takes his hands away and leaves the room.*
*Tam thinks: 'Lyabee you bastard! Why have you've shown up?'*
*Tam leaves her room and goes to the gym to work out her anger and confusion*
*Karen is already in the gym, lifting weights far heavier than anyone of her build should be able to handle.*
*Tam walks in and goes straight to the punching bag and starts off light and then gets more into breaking the bag then normally*
*Karen stops lifting weights and sits up* Karen: You're killing that bag Tam...
Tam:*punching the hell out of it* Well lets just say I saw someone I would rather do away with!
Karen: Let me guess... some pervert, right? Sheesh, some guys are just overactive... *Under her breath...* what am I saying...
Tam: No...*punch...* A former employer....*punch*
Karen: Mmm... I've met a few jackasses in my time. I think I actually ended up breaking the arm of one, but that was so long ago.
Tam: I.....*punch* thought that he would leave me be after I left Treeton and I would be able to loose those memories....*punch* but I guess not....*punch*
Karen: Somethings always come back to haunt us... if I were you, I'd snap that guy's leg so fast.
*Tam stops for a second* stupid idiot that I am. Mr. Gruffy always used to say never let your anger get in your way when your on the job or anywhere that you could be working at with old enimes but I never listen! *Tears start to fall* I miss the ol' man!
Karen: Gruffy... he sounds like someone very important to you... why don't you visit him?
Tam: I wish I could. Lyabee lives in that city he would the instant I got there and be on my case. no way.
Karen: Tamouma... what if I took your place?
Tam: what do you mean?
Karen: Well, as you know, I'm a very powerful sorcerer...ess... and one of my specialities are illusions. *Karen chuckles*
*Starts to kuick and punch the bag again* He would know. He's an itellegant man. He's just a son of a bitch I can't get rid of! He was just here and I am stupid enough to take his fucking offer!
Karen: Don't discount me just yet... sure... I messed up... once... big time, but I can do this. I've impersonated thousands upon thousands of people before. Are you familar with the tale of Robin Hood?
Tam: Hai.
Karen: *Karen winks*
Karen: That was me...
Tam: Hmmm...*stops because the bag broke yet again when she uses it* don't know...
Karen: I only need to do it long enough for your job, right? Hell, I could put an illusion on you so that you don't look like yourself.
Tam: *smiles* thanx Karen...But I got to do this job. I need the money to fix up Dragon Hawk.
Karen: Come on... let me do it. I can complete the job for you, and you get to visit Gruffy. Its a win-win situation.
Tam: Well I am visiting there anayways....okay Karen! I'm in!
Karen: All right... now, do you want me to put an illusion on you as well?
Tam: Better not. I have to work for the prick I might as well do the full thing
Karen: Ok... now... I need something off your body, a lock of hair, tissue sample, blood, anything.
*Tam goes to the little med-center in the gym and grabs a needle and takes her blood and fills up the vile. She takes the needle out and takes the vile off and caps it. She hands it to Karen.* This be enough?
Karen: Plenty... ok, I've done this before... but its usually very disorienting for the person I'm copying.
Karen: I'll be right back, this spell is simple, but I need to use my tools in my room. *Karen runs off for a minute, and comes back with her spellbook and a bag of ingredients* Ok, ready?
Tam: Yup.
Karen: All right... *Karen pulls a bowl out of the bag and crushes some flowers into the bowl.* *She whistles and mixes ingredient after ingredient, finally making a fine yellow mush*
Karen: Ok Tam... drop a few drops of blood into the vial. I mean bowl.
*Tam giggles a little at her mistake and does as she was told*
Karen: *Gives Tamouma the raspberry*
Karen: Ok... the... potion is done. Well, its not really a potion... I just need to rub a small bit on my body...
Gabriel: *Karen reaches down and picks up the bowl, just as Gabriel runs into the room screaming. Gabriel bumps into Karen and the mush flys into Tamouma's face...* Help! Momo's gone crazy again!
*Tam tries to wipe the mush away and her eyes go deep red* SHIT GABRIEL! *She quickly covers her face and doesn't know what to do*
Karen: Ok... don't panic Tamouma...
Tam: How the hell do I get this stuff off?
Karen: Er... the... your skin should absorb it any minute...
*It absorbs but it isn't right.*
Karen? when does this end?
Karen: Well... um... had things gone the right way, your body should be changing into the appropriate form...
Tam: SHIT!
Karen: Don't panic! For all I know, you'll just transform into yourself, and in any even, the effect isn't permanent.
Gabriel: Err... what's going on?
Karen: Get out of here Gabriel!
Gabriel: Why? What was that stuff on Tam's face?
Karen: GO!
*Karen grabs Gabriel and throws him out of the room*
*Tam's eyes turned dark crimson red her skin pale as the full moon and just filled with anger.*
Gabriel: She... uh...
Karen: OH SHIT... This is not good... Gabriel... go get Momo...
*Gabriel runs out of the room*
*Tam slowly takes out Lao Dei and grins evilly and slashes the "horse" in half and runs out of the room*
*Karen chases after Tamouma and casts an entanglement spell on her*
*Tam gets caught.* Tam: I WILL KILL EVERYTHING!
*As the vines wrap around Tamouma's legs, arms and torso, Gabriel and Momo run up behind Tamouma*
Momo: Gabriel, drain her!
Gabriel: What!?
Momo: Grab Tamouma and FEED!
*Gabriel grabs Tamouma's neck and his fangs dig deep into her skin* Momo: Only drink enough to weaken her... we don't want to kill her.
*Tam screams*
Momo: Don't stop!
Gabriel: *He continues sucking on her, but he finds Tamouma's tainted blood strangely alluring, and can't stop...*
Karen: Gabriel's going to far!
*Tam's eyes start to become colorless and she is silent through it. Her struggling has stopped and she is just going limp*
*Momo finally pulls Gabriel off, just in time to prevent Gabriel from completely draining Tamouma. Gabriel goes limp as well, from the rush. Momo kneels down next to Gabriel and holds him close to her, hoping he'll come to.*
Karen: Whew...
*Tam is completely in shock. She is just to weak to say anything*
Momo: Gabe... Gabe... wake up... please wake up...
Karen: *She walks over to Tamouma and checks her pulse* SHe's still alive, but barely...
*Karen calls for help, and the medics and Rianu come rushing in*
*Trowa is right behind Rianu*
Rianu: Tamouma! *He picks her up and looks at her limp, pale skinned body.*
*Momo continues to call out for Gabriel, but every time she gets quiter and quieter. Rianu, still carrying Tamouma, turns to Trowa*
Rianu: Trowa... she's... she's almost dead...
*Trowa looks at her* Trowa: .....
Rianu: Come on, lets get her back to her room so she can rest...
*Trowa nodds and follows Rianu*
*Rianu holding Tamouma tightly, walks to Tamouma's room. He slowly places her on the bed and steps back... he rubs his eyes and blinks several times.*
*Trowa looks at Rianu* You ok?
Rianu: I... uh... I'm not sure...
*Trowa pulls the chair from Tam's desk and puts it next to her bed.* Trowa: I heard Lyabee was here. What did he want?
Rianu: *Pauses for a moment and blinks a few more times... he then slowly sits on the ground and leans against the wall*
Rianu: He... Lyabe... wanted to hire Tamouma...
*Trowa lookes at Rianu* Trowa: Are you sure your ok?
Rianu: Yes... maybe... no... I... something is wrong.
Trowa: Want me to get someone?
Rianu: I'm fine... I'll be fine.
Trowa: Bull shit your fine!
Rianu: Listen Trowa! I'm fine! I don't get weak, ever! JUST LEAVE ME ALON... *Rianu pauses, and a single tear falls from his right eye...* I'm sorry Trowa... I... I'm not supposed to feel anything, but... I feel so bad, like my entire body is ready to collapse on itself...
Trowa: I understand
Rianu: I seriously doubt that, no offense... but there is no way you could know how painful this is...
Trowa: I feel it myself.
Rianu: But I'm not supposed to feel any emotions except anger and rage... I... but...
*Trowa just nodded and turned his attention to Tam*
Trowa: She looks like shit.
Rianu: God, I wish I knew what happened. All I heard was Karen screaming for help on the comms...
Trowa: I heard her scream. She wasn't herself. But I couln't get out there in time. *plays with Tam's hair in his fingers*
Rianu: She's in a lot of pain and torment... she's gone through a lot recently...
Trowa: that she has.
Rianu: What happened that one night?
Trowa: She told me that she saw a talking corpse.
Rianu: A talking corpse...
*Trowa nodded* Then she sawnothing but darkness and everything that she used to defend herself with was taken away and she was left there to be alone.
Trowa: Then she told me that she saw a battleground and everyone had died and she saw Dragon Hawk standing there. Gabriel was the only one who was alive and he blamed it on her and she saw him kill himself. After all that she saw herself and she said that the other Tam was crazy and then she took her sword and chopped her head off. After words she didn't say much.
Rianu: My god... that's horrible...
Trowa: Then she told me was that Gabriel woke her up and she gave a hug. She said that everyone was killed by her hand and she couldn't live to see that.
Rianu: She hugged Gabrel?
*Trowa smiled a little* yeah. she did.
Rianu: *Rianu shows no emotions except fear and pain* Would you like me to leave you alone with her?
Trowa: She shot a bullet at the corpse and the bullet is in the drawer. *Trowa said nothing and just nodded*
*Rianu gets up and walks out. Karen is waiting outside the door, and walks in behind Rianu*
Karen: I'm so sorry Trowa, this is all my fault. *Karen's eyes turn gold (fear)*
Trowa: How is it your fault?
Karen: I did this to her, my god damn magic just refuses to work properly anymore!
Trowa: Why were you using magic?
Karen: I was trying to help Tamouma... I... was going to use an illusion to make me look like her so I could complete her job for her so she could visit an old friend of hers, Gruffy... I think.
*Trowa nodded* Then what happened?
Karen: Well, I prepared the spell as my book says I should... but then Gabriel ran into the room and bumped into me, forcing me to spill the potion on Tamouma. But nothing should have happened! Tamouma should have just had an illusion of herself cast upon here!
Trowa: Explain what did happen.
Karen: Um... well, shortly thereafter her eyes turned red and her skin became pale... like it is now... then she charged out of the room. I was lucky I was quick enough to cast a simple spell to hold her down. Then Gabriel got Momo and Momo told Gabriel to drain Tamouma so that she's collapse. But Gabriel wouldn't stop... it wasn't until Tamouma went limp that Momo was able to get Gabriel off her. I'm so sorry Trowa... *Karen begins to cry*
Trowa: I understand Karen. Thank you anyways for trying to help her.
Karen: I'll find a way to fix this! I promise you!
Trowa: I know you will.
Karen: ... *Karen slowly steps backwards out of the room and solemly trudges to her quarters*
*Wufei is leaning on the wall and his arms crossed* What's eating you?
Karen: I've hurt Tamouma, badly.
*wufei doesn't even look up* so.
Karen: *Karen stands up right and towers over Chang* You don't care, do you?
*Wufei still not looking at her* I care I just don't express it. We all make mistakes and sometimes they hurt but everyone lives through it one way or another.
Karen: *She slaps Chang* You bastard.
*Wufei smiles alittle bit* It's the truth though.
Karen: You're just a little boy, you know nothing of life. So don't talk to me like you know everything.
Wufei: I know enough where I don't go mopping around beacuse I've hurt someone.
Karen: When you've hurt as many people as I have... you start get effected by it. *Karen turns away from Wufei and walks*
Wufei: Volarun.
Karen: *She stops and droops her shoulders* Volarun is dead...
Wufei: Then how come you keep referring back to his life?
Karen: ... *shes speechless, unable to find the right words*
Wufei: *Walks up to her* You have a new life now stop living his. You will be able to come over this quickly and you'll find it easier to live.
Karen: Its not that easy... all my thoughts are a jumble, my feelings are mixed, and nothing is straight anymore...
Wufei: You will find it easy if you let go of Volarun!
Karen: *She grabs Wufei* I can't just let go of him when everything that I am is because of him!
Wufei: Be thank full for that. You are Karen now be happy with it! Until you can find the cure forget about Volarun and live your life as Karen!
Karen: But I don't want to be Karen! *she collapses on her knees and speaks softer* I don't want to be Karen...
Wufei: *looks down to her* BUT YOU ARE KAREN!
Wufei: WETHER YOU WANT TO BE OR NOT!
Karen: No... I am not Karen, and I never will be...
Wufei: YOU ARE!
Karen: Karen is nothing more than a mask... a shell...
:
Wufei: just keep saying that to yourself KAREN and maybe you'll have your wish! *Wufei walks off to Heero's room*
Karen: *She slowly stands up, but she never brings her head up, and she walks to her quarters and begins work on a counter*
*Momo is kneeling next to the bed, where a very weak Gabriel is lying, not breathing at all. Tears of pain flow from her eyes freely, each tear greater than the last as Gabriel's condition worsens. The lights are all off, the only illumination being provided by the rising moon in the window.*
Momo: Come on Gabriel... wake up... Gabriel... *she picks up his hand and squeezes it tightly, but no warmth or movement is felt*
*Gabriel finally stirs... his eyes fluttering for a moment, but it quickly dies down. Momo sees the movement and calls out for Gabriel* Momo: GABRIEL!!! *Momo lets go of Gabriel's hand and stands up... she walks over to the table and sits down. She hunches over the table and begins to cry again*
*Trowa runs down the hall and opens the door to Gabriels' room* Trowa: Momo! Something is seriously wrong with Tam! I think you better come with and see.
Momo: Tamouma... she's dead... hehehe.
*Trowa looks at her weirdly*
Momo: Let me see her.
*Trowa leads her back to Tam's room*
Momo: Tamouma... she's dead all right.
*Tam screams*
Momo: Her body is dead... her mind is lost...
*Trowa looks at Momo* Trowa: How do we get her back?
Momo: She is Kindred, and few Kindred have ever returned to humanity.
Trowa: Is there any way?
Momo: Yes, there is. Her blood must be fully drained, and she must be feed the blood of the living to sustain here once more.
Trowa: how much blood?
Momo: It must be a sacrifice by a blood relative.
*Trowa thought for a moment. The only two he cold think of was Yatouri and Karen.* Will you go and ask Karen?
Momo: Karen's body is not of the same blood as Tamouma.
Trowa: How about Rianu?
Momo: Rianu shall work, but it shall be a considerable sacrifice for him.
*Trowa thought. He didn't want to loose her. But he jsut didn't want Rianu to sacrafice himself.* Trowa: how much time do we have?
Momo: Within a forenight, Tamouma's soul will be completely lost to the void.
*Trowa looked down to Tam and stroked her cheek which was now cold. He had to ask Rianu. But he didn't want to. He was confused. He wish that it was a simpler task.* Trowa: Lets go see Rianu then.
*For the sake of preserving my hands... they go to... oh hell, just by prefixing it that way I've already typed more than I nee... ok... lets just get on with it. They go to Rianu's room*
*Momo and Trowa enter Rianu's room, and Rianu senses Trowa's aura of despair, and Momo's aura of loss*
Rianu: Hello, what is it you need?
*Trowa looks down then at Momo wondering what to say to him*
Rianu: Tamouma needs my help, doesn't she...
*Trowa nodded*
Rianu: How serious is it?
Trowa: Very.
Rianu: What can I do?
Trowa: Tam needs ......blood....
Rianu: She can have as much of mine as she needs.
*Trowa was thrilled and yet scared of Rianu saying that* Trowa: Are you sure?
Rianu: *Rianu turns and faces Trowa, and looks straight into his eyes... and for once Rianu speaks with compassion*. Yes.
*Trowa's eyes start to tear up* Trowa: Thank you Rianu.
Rianu: You are welcome, Trowa.
Momo: Come with me Rianu, we will get started right away.
*Trowa looked at him and then looked at Momo* Trowa: What do I do?
Momo: Wait, and be with Tamouma by her side.
*Trowa nodded* Trowa: I understand
*Momo takes Rianu into her room, and lays Rianu down on the ground. She injects needles into Rianu's major arteries and begins draining his blood into leather waterskins. Rianu's skin slowly fades into a paler and paler shade as each pint of blood flows out of Rianu's body into the waterskins. As the final pint drains from Rianu's body, his eyes slowly close and his body releases all the tension, causing his body to become totally limp. Once finished she takes the skins and brings them into Tamouma's room.*
*Trowa is over with Tam holding her hand and trying to make her warm*
Momo: Trowa... what I'm about to do might be more than you can take. You may leave the room if you wish.
*Trowa looked at her*Trowa: I am staying.
Momo: Very well. *Momo begins draining the remaing blood in Tamouma's body into a bucket, but there is so little blood that the bucket isn't even half-full when she's done.*
Momo: *She takes the needles and injects them into Tamouma's major arteries, but instead pumps the blood from the skins into Tamouma's bloodstream. As each pint flows into Tamouma's body, her face, her hands, they become warm and colored. The final pint is pumped into Tamouma's body, and Momo pulls the needles out and covers up the wounds.*
Momo: I'm done, that's all I can do.
*Trowa looks at Momo* Trowa: Is Rianu ok?
Momo: I don't know... his body is so different from most humans. I'm not even sure what effect his blood will have on Tamouma's system. I don't know... his body is so different from most humans. I'm not even sure what effect his blood will have on Tamouma's system.
Trowa: *nodds* I understand.
Momo: I... I need to see Gabriel. *Momo leaves.*
*Trowa looks at Tam.* Trowa: I am going to go see how your brother is doing I'll be back. *Trowa goes to check on Rianu*
*Rianu's body it totally lifeless, his skin is completely white, showing no signs of life or movement*
*Trowa knelt down* Trowa: thank you....I'm sorry Rianu...

Karen: *eats her food for a moment then stops and looks up at Duo.* Duo... its just a bra. Go eat.
*The man's dark purple eyes scans the room. His hair is blond and slicked back. The clothing he was wearing was a nice suit with a white collar and the coat and pants were of a dark blue color. He was well built and very handsome...*
Karen: *She looks up and notices the man, her eyes slowly change from purple to orange* (Purple is happy, orange is confusion)
*The man looked like he ment business and looks over to Karen and Duo. He walks over and still looks around*
Duo: Who is that guy?
Karen: Not sure, he looks tough, not someone that you'd want to pick a fight with.
*He stops at the table the two were sitting at and bows formally* Excuse me *his voice cold and threating* Have you seen a Miss. Hetaaru around?
Karen: *She stands up.* Who is asking?
*Karens eyes fade from orange to red*
*The man looks at her* I am a former employer of hers and I was told that she was to be found here.
Karen: Maybe... could I get a name?
Man: That is something I can not tell you young lady. I must speak with her where can I find her?
Karen: Young lady?! *Her eyes grow even redder* I do not believe you need to see her if you cannot even give me your name. *She grabs his arm*
Man: Please...do not get angry with me I just have some business to talk to her about.
Karen: Fine, but you are going to have an escort. Duo, would you please take this... gentleman to Tamouma's quarters?
Duo: Sure thing Karen, follow me.
Karen: Thank you. *She leaves for her quarters*
*The man bows again* Thank you.
Karen: *She ignores the man*
Duo: Ok, just follow me. *Duo leads the man to Tamouma's room and knocks loudly on the door*
*Tam is up and already dressed* Who is it?
Duo: Uh... Duo and some guy!
*Through the door* what guy?
Duo: Some guy who says he was a former employer of yours!
Tam: okay hang on....*she opens the door and sees Duo then her attention to the man. Her mood completely went on the defense and see scowled at him* Lyabee.
Duo: All right... I'm gonna go now... *Duo runs off*
*Lyabee looks at her* Lyabee: You haven't changed at all Miss Hetaaru.
*Tam just glares at him* Tam I could say the same about you! Your still a worthless good for nothing son of a bitch!
Gabriel: Huh? Me?
Tam: Hi Gabriel. *Lyabee gives him an evil look and just stands there*
Gabriel: Tam, have you seen Momo? For once... I can't find her...
*Tam ignores the fact that Lyabee is standing there* I think she went to the mess hall.
Gabriel: Why would she be at the mess hall... we don't eat there anymore... *he walks off*
*Lyabee is getting irrated* Tam: Why don't you come in so that no one will see you!
*Lyabee bows and goes into her room. Tam walks out for a second to find some one* Tam: Damn it! Where is Rianu?
*A few moments later... Rianu walks up to Tamouma* Rianu: I heard you calling me.
Tam: Good. *drags him into her room and shuts the door*
Rianu: Ok... somethings different...
*Lyabee stands up and glares at Rianu*
Rianu: *Sensing Lyabee's anger he turns and looks down upon the man. Rianu cross his arms* Who are you?
Lyabee: I could ask you the same question!
Rianu: Fine. I'm Rianu Kerureyu Hetaaru, now, who are you?
Lyabee: I am Rodchester Lyabee a former employer of Miss. Hetaaru.
Rianu: Good, now what are you doing here?
Lyabee: I came to give Miss. Hetaaru a job.
*Tam almost laughs at the reasoning. Tam goes serious and looks at Lyabee* Tam: How much?
Lyabee: Almost 4 times as much that you make here.
Rianu: What we do here is more important than anything you might have planned for her. Its unfortunate that more people don't realize just how important.
*Lyabee gives Rianu a evil look* Mr. Hetaaru. I don't think you understand how.....fragile this next mission will be. And we need an expert on it and since Miss. Hetaaru has worked with my company before I know that she will do the job properly.
Rianu: I don't like your attitude, but Ms. Hetaaru is no longer on our payroll. She is certainly free to do what she pleases.
*Tam looks at Rianu and then glares at Lyabee* Tam: I know your games Lyabee! It's going to be like how it was when you first employed me isn't it?! Well I am sorry to say that you fell through the last time and what makes you so sure that you will succeed this time?
*Lyabee looks at her and smiles* MY dear Miss. Hetaaru! You dare accuse me for doing something? I canpay you whatever you desire to do one little joib for me. How does that sound? And I promise My men won't touch you!
*Rianu tenses up at the mention of Lyabee's men...* Rianu: Sir, you are obviously becoming an annoyance. I can have you removed from this base if I so desire.
*Tam thinks hard and thinking of the first time she was employed by him. 'If it wasn't for Trowa and Quatre that day I would have never made it out alive...but...the pay is good...' Tam's senses got the better of her* Mr. Lyabee. I will go and work for your company only for this one job. You must promise me something though.
*Lyabee looked at her* Name it. *Tam thought it over* Tam: No killing.
*Rianu dropped his arms and his eyes shot open* Rianu: Tam?
Tam: I don't want to kill anyone. Anything else I will do. *Lyabee looked at her and smiled* Lyabee: Done then. You will need to leave the day after tomorrow. *Tam looked at him and nodded* Tam: Fine. *Lyabee left the room and looked quite satisfied*
Rianu: *Rianu just stood there silent until Lyabee left, and then finally spoke* Tamouma/
Tamouma? What happened?
*Tam stood there and a tear dropped. She wiped it qickly away and looked at Rianu* Tam: Nothing. Go see Gabriel to know.
Rianu: *He takes a step closer* Why don't you tell me?
*Tam looked at him with fear in her eyes* Go see someone else about it.
Rianu: Tamouma... obviously something very painful happened... but if you're not ready to talk about it, I'll drop it.
*Tam looked at him and smiled* thank you.
Rianu: You are welcome. Here, take this. *He pulls a com device out of his robe*
*Tam looks at it* why?
Rianu: I don't trust that man... if you find yourself in danger, you can use that to contact me, regardless of where you are.
Tam: *takes it* Thank you....Rianu.
Rianu: *He bows* You are welcome.
*Tam thinks for a moment* Rianu...?
Rianu: Yes Tamouma?
Tam: Trowa and Quatre knows what has happened go to them if you want to know what happened. It's just to hard to tell anyone.
Rianu:I'd prefer if I could hear it from you, but I will talk to them instead, if you wish.
Tam: They have better knowlege of it. I would rather forget about it.
Rianu: *He places his hands on her shoulders and nods, he slowly takes his hands away and leaves the room.*
*Tam thinks: 'Lyabee you bastard! Why have you've shown up?'*
*Tam leaves her room and goes to the gym to work out her anger and confusion*
*Karen is already in the gym, lifting weights far heavier than anyone of her build should be able to handle.*
*Tam walks in and goes straight to the punching bag and starts off light and then gets more into breaking the bag then normally*
*Karen stops lifting weights and sits up* Karen: You're killing that bag Tam...
Tam:*punching the hell out of it* Well lets just say I saw someone I would rather do away with!
Karen: Let me guess... some pervert, right? Sheesh, some guys are just overactive... *Under her breath...* what am I saying...
Tam: No...*punch...* A former employer....*punch*
Karen: Mmm... I've met a few jackasses in my time. I think I actually ended up breaking the arm of one, but that was so long ago.
Tam: I.....*punch* thought that he would leave me be after I left Treeton and I would be able to loose those memories....*punch* but I guess not....*punch*
Karen: Somethings always come back to haunt us... if I were you, I'd snap that guy's leg so fast.
*Tam stops for a second* stupid idiot that I am. Mr. Gruffy always used to say never let your anger get in your way when your on the job or anywhere that you could be working at with old enimes but I never listen! *Tears start to fall* I miss the ol' man!
Karen: Gruffy... he sounds like someone very important to you... why don't you visit him?
Tam: I wish I could. Lyabee lives in that city he would the instant I got there and be on my case. no way.
Karen: Tamouma... what if I took your place?
Tam: what do you mean?
Karen: Well, as you know, I'm a very powerful sorcerer...ess... and one of my specialities are illusions. *Karen chuckles*
*Starts to kuick and punch the bag again* He would know. He's an itellegant man. He's just a son of a bitch I can't get rid of! He was just here and I am stupid enough to take his fucking offer!
Karen: Don't discount me just yet... sure... I messed up... once... big time, but I can do this. I've impersonated thousands upon thousands of people before. Are you familar with the tale of Robin Hood?
Tam: Hai.
Karen: *Karen winks*
Karen: That was me...
Tam: Hmmm...*stops because the bag broke yet again when she uses it* don't know...
Karen: I only need to do it long enough for your job, right? Hell, I could put an illusion on you so that you don't look like yourself.
Tam: *smiles* thanx Karen...But I got to do this job. I need the money to fix up Dragon Hawk.
Karen: Come on... let me do it. I can complete the job for you, and you get to visit Gruffy. Its a win-win situation.
Tam: Well I am visiting there anayways....okay Karen! I'm in!
Karen: All right... now, do you want me to put an illusion on you as well?
Tam: Better not. I have to work for the prick I might as well do the full thing
Karen: Ok... now... I need something off your body, a lock of hair, tissue sample, blood, anything.
*Tam goes to the little med-center in the gym and grabs a needle and takes her blood and fills up the vile. She takes the needle out and takes the vile off and caps it. She hands it to Karen.* This be enough?
Karen: Plenty... ok, I've done this before... but its usually very disorienting for the person I'm copying.
Karen: I'll be right back, this spell is simple, but I need to use my tools in my room. *Karen runs off for a minute, and comes back with her spellbook and a bag of ingredients* Ok, ready?
Tam: Yup.
Karen: All right... *Karen pulls a bowl out of the bag and crushes some flowers into the bowl.* *She whistles and mixes ingredient after ingredient, finally making a fine yellow mush*
Karen: Ok Tam... drop a few drops of blood into the vial. I mean bowl.
*Tam giggles a little at her mistake and does as she was told*
Karen: *Gives Tamouma the raspberry*
Karen: Ok... the... potion is done. Well, its not really a potion... I just need to rub a small bit on my body...
Gabriel: *Karen reaches down and picks up the bowl, just as Gabriel runs into the room screaming. Gabriel bumps into Karen and the mush flys into Tamouma's face...* Help! Momo's gone crazy again!
*Tam tries to wipe the mush away and her eyes go deep red* SHIT GABRIEL! *She quickly covers her face and doesn't know what to do*
Karen: Ok... don't panic Tamouma...
Tam: How the hell do I get this stuff off?
Karen: Er... the... your skin should absorb it any minute...
*It absorbs but it isn't right.*
Karen? when does this end?
Karen: Well... um... had things gone the right way, your body should be changing into the appropriate form...
Tam: SHIT!
Karen: Don't panic! For all I know, you'll just transform into yourself, and in any even, the effect isn't permanent.
Gabriel: Err... what's going on?
Karen: Get out of here Gabriel!
Gabriel: Why? What was that stuff on Tam's face?
Karen: GO!
*Karen grabs Gabriel and throws him out of the room*
*Tam's eyes turned dark crimson red her skin pale as the full moon and just filled with anger.*
Gabriel: She... uh...
Karen: OH SHIT... This is not good... Gabriel... go get Momo...
*Gabriel runs out of the room*
*Tam slowly takes out Lao Dei and grins evilly and slashes the "horse" in half and runs out of the room*
*Karen chases after Tamouma and casts an entanglement spell on her*
*Tam gets caught.* Tam: I WILL KILL EVERYTHING!
*As the vines wrap around Tamouma's legs, arms and torso, Gabriel and Momo run up behind Tamouma*
Momo: Gabriel, drain her!
Gabriel: What!?
Momo: Grab Tamouma and FEED!
*Gabriel grabs Tamouma's neck and his fangs dig deep into her skin* Momo: Only drink enough to weaken her... we don't want to kill her.
*Tam screams*
Momo: Don't stop!
Gabriel: *He continues sucking on her, but he finds Tamouma's tainted blood strangely alluring, and can't stop...*
Karen: Gabriel's going to far!
*Tam's eyes start to become colorless and she is silent through it. Her struggling has stopped and she is just going limp*
*Momo finally pulls Gabriel off, just in time to prevent Gabriel from completely draining Tamouma. Gabriel goes limp as well, from the rush. Momo kneels down next to Gabriel and holds him close to her, hoping he'll come to.*
Karen: Whew...
*Tam is completely in shock. She is just to weak to say anything*
Momo: Gabe... Gabe... wake up... please wake up...
Karen: *She walks over to Tamouma and checks her pulse* SHe's still alive, but barely...
*Karen calls for help, and the medics and Rianu come rushing in*
*Trowa is right behind Rianu*
Rianu: Tamouma! *He picks her up and looks at her limp, pale skinned body.*
*Momo continues to call out for Gabriel, but every time she gets quiter and quieter. Rianu, still carrying Tamouma, turns to Trowa*
Rianu: Trowa... she's... she's almost dead...
*Trowa looks at her* Trowa: .....
Rianu: Come on, lets get her back to her room so she can rest...
*Trowa nodds and follows Rianu*
*Rianu holding Tamouma tightly, walks to Tamouma's room. He slowly places her on the bed and steps back... he rubs his eyes and blinks several times.*
*Trowa looks at Rianu* You ok?
Rianu: I... uh... I'm not sure...
*Trowa pulls the chair from Tam's desk and puts it next to her bed.* Trowa: I heard Lyabee was here. What did he want?
Rianu: *Pauses for a moment and blinks a few more times... he then slowly sits on the ground and leans against the wall*
Rianu: He... Lyabe... wanted to hire Tamouma...
*Trowa lookes at Rianu* Trowa: Are you sure your ok?
Rianu: Yes... maybe... no... I... something is wrong.
Trowa: Want me to get someone?
Rianu: I'm fine... I'll be fine.
Trowa: Bull shit your fine!
Rianu: Listen Trowa! I'm fine! I don't get weak, ever! JUST LEAVE ME ALON... *Rianu pauses, and a single tear falls from his right eye...* I'm sorry Trowa... I... I'm not supposed to feel anything, but... I feel so bad, like my entire body is ready to collapse on itself...
Trowa: I understand
Rianu: I seriously doubt that, no offense... but there is no way you could know how painful this is...
Trowa: I feel it myself.
Rianu: But I'm not supposed to feel any emotions except anger and rage... I... but...
*Trowa just nodded and turned his attention to Tam*
Trowa: She looks like shit.
Rianu: God, I wish I knew what happened. All I heard was Karen screaming for help on the comms...
Trowa: I heard her scream. She wasn't herself. But I couln't get out there in time. *plays with Tam's hair in his fingers*
Rianu: She's in a lot of pain and torment... she's gone through a lot recently...
Trowa: that she has.
Rianu: What happened that one night?
Trowa: She told me that she saw a talking corpse.
Rianu: A talking corpse...
*Trowa nodded* Then she sawnothing but darkness and everything that she used to defend herself with was taken away and she was left there to be alone.
Trowa: Then she told me that she saw a battleground and everyone had died and she saw Dragon Hawk standing there. Gabriel was the only one who was alive and he blamed it on her and she saw him kill himself. After all that she saw herself and she said that the other Tam was crazy and then she took her sword and chopped her head off. After words she didn't say much.
Rianu: My god... that's horrible...
Trowa: Then she told me was that Gabriel woke her up and she gave a hug. She said that everyone was killed by her hand and she couldn't live to see that.
Rianu: She hugged Gabrel?
*Trowa smiled a little* yeah. she did.
Rianu: *Rianu shows no emotions except fear and pain* Would you like me to leave you alone with her?
Trowa: She shot a bullet at the corpse and the bullet is in the drawer. *Trowa said nothing and just nodded*
*Rianu gets up and walks out. Karen is waiting outside the door, and walks in behind Rianu*
Karen: I'm so sorry Trowa, this is all my fault. *Karen's eyes turn gold (fear)*
Trowa: How is it your fault?
Karen: I did this to her, my god damn magic just refuses to work properly anymore!
Trowa: Why were you using magic?
Karen: I was trying to help Tamouma... I... was going to use an illusion to make me look like her so I could complete her job for her so she could visit an old friend of hers, Gruffy... I think.
*Trowa nodded* Then what happened?
Karen: Well, I prepared the spell as my book says I should... but then Gabriel ran into the room and bumped into me, forcing me to spill the potion on Tamouma. But nothing should have happened! Tamouma should have just had an illusion of herself cast upon here!
Trowa: Explain what did happen.
Karen: Um... well, shortly thereafter her eyes turned red and her skin became pale... like it is now... then she charged out of the room. I was lucky I was quick enough to cast a simple spell to hold her down. Then Gabriel got Momo and Momo told Gabriel to drain Tamouma so that she's collapse. But Gabriel wouldn't stop... it wasn't until Tamouma went limp that Momo was able to get Gabriel off her. I'm so sorry Trowa... *Karen begins to cry*
Trowa: I understand Karen. Thank you anyways for trying to help her.
Karen: I'll find a way to fix this! I promise you!
Trowa: I know you will.
Karen: ... *Karen slowly steps backwards out of the room and solemly trudges to her quarters*
*Wufei is leaning on the wall and his arms crossed* What's eating you?
Karen: I've hurt Tamouma, badly.
*wufei doesn't even look up* so.
Karen: *Karen stands up right and towers over Chang* You don't care, do you?
*Wufei still not looking at her* I care I just don't express it. We all make mistakes and sometimes they hurt but everyone lives through it one way or another.
Karen: *She slaps Chang* You bastard.
*Wufei smiles alittle bit* It's the truth though.
Karen: You're just a little boy, you know nothing of life. So don't talk to me like you know everything.
Wufei: I know enough where I don't go mopping around beacuse I've hurt someone.
Karen: When you've hurt as many people as I have... you start get effected by it. *Karen turns away from Wufei and walks*
Wufei: Volarun.
Karen: *She stops and droops her shoulders* Volarun is dead...
Wufei: Then how come you keep referring back to his life?
Karen: ... *shes speechless, unable to find the right words*
Wufei: *Walks up to her* You have a new life now stop living his. You will be able to come over this quickly and you'll find it easier to live.
Karen: Its not that easy... all my thoughts are a jumble, my feelings are mixed, and nothing is straight anymore...
Wufei: You will find it easy if you let go of Volarun!
Karen: *She grabs Wufei* I can't just let go of him when everything that I am is because of him!
Wufei: Be thank full for that. You are Karen now be happy with it! Until you can find the cure forget about Volarun and live your life as Karen!
Karen: But I don't want to be Karen! *she collapses on her knees and speaks softer* I don't want to be Karen...
Wufei: *looks down to her* BUT YOU ARE KAREN!
Wufei: WETHER YOU WANT TO BE OR NOT!
Karen: No... I am not Karen, and I never will be...
Wufei: YOU ARE!
Karen: Karen is nothing more than a mask... a shell...
:
Wufei: just keep saying that to yourself KAREN and maybe you'll have your wish! *Wufei walks off to Heero's room*
Karen: *She slowly stands up, but she never brings her head up, and she walks to her quarters and begins work on a counter*
*Momo is kneeling next to the bed, where a very weak Gabriel is lying, not breathing at all. Tears of pain flow from her eyes freely, each tear greater than the last as Gabriel's condition worsens. The lights are all off, the only illumination being provided by the rising moon in the window.*
Momo: Come on Gabriel... wake up... Gabriel... *she picks up his hand and squeezes it tightly, but no warmth or movement is felt*
*Gabriel finally stirs... his eyes fluttering for a moment, but it quickly dies down. Momo sees the movement and calls out for Gabriel* Momo: GABRIEL!!! *Momo lets go of Gabriel's hand and stands up... she walks over to the table and sits down. She hunches over the table and begins to cry again*
*Trowa runs down the hall and opens the door to Gabriels' room* Trowa: Momo! Something is seriously wrong with Tam! I think you better come with and see.
Momo: Tamouma... she's dead... hehehe.
*Trowa looks at her weirdly*
Momo: Let me see her.
*Trowa leads her back to Tam's room*
Momo: Tamouma... she's dead all right.
*Tam screams*
Momo: Her body is dead... her mind is lost...
*Trowa looks at Momo* Trowa: How do we get her back?
Momo: She is Kindred, and few Kindred have ever returned to humanity.
Trowa: Is there any way?
Momo: Yes, there is. Her blood must be fully drained, and she must be feed the blood of the living to sustain here once more.
Trowa: how much blood?
Momo: It must be a sacrifice by a blood relative.
*Trowa thought for a moment. The only two he cold think of was Yatouri and Karen.* Will you go and ask Karen?
Momo: Karen's body is not of the same blood as Tamouma.
Trowa: How about Rianu?
Momo: Rianu shall work, but it shall be a considerable sacrifice for him.
*Trowa thought. He didn't want to loose her. But he jsut didn't want Rianu to sacrafice himself.* Trowa: how much time do we have?
Momo: Within a forenight, Tamouma's soul will be completely lost to the void.
*Trowa looked down to Tam and stroked her cheek which was now cold. He had to ask Rianu. But he didn't want to. He was confused. He wish that it was a simpler task.* Trowa: Lets go see Rianu then.
*For the sake of preserving my hands... they go to... oh hell, just by prefixing it that way I've already typed more than I nee... ok... lets just get on with it. They go to Rianu's room*
*Momo and Trowa enter Rianu's room, and Rianu senses Trowa's aura of despair, and Momo's aura of loss*
Rianu: Hello, what is it you need?
*Trowa looks down then at Momo wondering what to say to him*
Rianu: Tamouma needs my help, doesn't she...
*Trowa nodded*
Rianu: How serious is it?
Trowa: Very.
Rianu: What can I do?
Trowa: Tam needs ......blood....
Rianu: She can have as much of mine as she needs.
*Trowa was thrilled and yet scared of Rianu saying that* Trowa: Are you sure?
Rianu: *Rianu turns and faces Trowa, and looks straight into his eyes... and for once Rianu speaks with compassion*. Yes.
*Trowa's eyes start to tear up* Trowa: Thank you Rianu.
Rianu: You are welcome, Trowa.
Momo: Come with me Rianu, we will get started right away.
*Trowa looked at him and then looked at Momo* Trowa: What do I do?
Momo: Wait, and be with Tamouma by her side.
*Trowa nodded* Trowa: I understand
*Momo takes Rianu into her room, and lays Rianu down on the ground. She injects needles into Rianu's major arteries and begins draining his blood into leather waterskins. Rianu's skin slowly fades into a paler and paler shade as each pint of blood flows out of Rianu's body into the waterskins. As the final pint drains from Rianu's body, his eyes slowly close and his body releases all the tension, causing his body to become totally limp. Once finished she takes the skins and brings them into Tamouma's room.*
*Trowa is over with Tam holding her hand and trying to make her warm*
Momo: Trowa... what I'm about to do might be more than you can take. You may leave the room if you wish.
*Trowa looked at her*Trowa: I am staying.
Momo: Very well. *Momo begins draining the remaing blood in Tamouma's body into a bucket, but there is so little blood that the bucket isn't even half-full when she's done.*
Momo: *She takes the needles and injects them into Tamouma's major arteries, but instead pumps the blood from the skins into Tamouma's bloodstream. As each pint flows into Tamouma's body, her face, her hands, they become warm and colored. The final pint is pumped into Tamouma's body, and Momo pulls the needles out and covers up the wounds.*
Momo: I'm done, that's all I can do.
*Trowa looks at Momo* Trowa: Is Rianu ok?
Momo: I don't know... his body is so different from most humans. I'm not even sure what effect his blood will have on Tamouma's system. I don't know... his body is so different from most humans. I'm not even sure what effect his blood will have on Tamouma's system.
Trowa: *nodds* I understand.
Momo: I... I need to see Gabriel. *Momo leaves.*
*Trowa looks at Tam.* Trowa: I am going to go see how your brother is doing I'll be back. *Trowa goes to check on Rianu*
*Rianu's body it totally lifeless, his skin is completely white, showing no signs of life or movement*
*Trowa knelt down* Trowa: thank you....I'm sorry Rianu...
