-1Tamar stepped back to allow Baralai to face the boys. "Give us back our sister." Nate growled.

"Why should I?" Baralai asked, "She's rightfully mine."

"Buying someone isn't legal." Max said, "Now give her back."

"I didn't buy her." Baralai said, "Her father gave her to me as a peace offering, her mother too."

Yuna shook my head "Still you own and treat her like a slave, its still wrong!"\

"And you hurt her!" Rikku exclaimed. "Give her back." Paine said drawing her sword.

"I'm not the one that hurts her." Baralai said, "That's her father."

"But you don't do anything to stop him." Max said, "So you're just as bad."

"Am I?" Baralai asked, "I'm not the one that killed my own son."

"She doesn't belong here." Yuna said "She belongs with her brothers, now give her to us."

"You'll have to beat both ryusa and I." Baralai said, before clapping his hands twice.

Ryusa walked out of one of the rooms, and he was easily recognized as the man from the ship.

He groaned. "You again?" He said, "I thought you'd give up for a while, like before.."

"When we last saw you, you were running off like a scared chocobo." Rikku said.

"It's an act." Ryusa said, "Do you really think the general of the Bevelle army would run from a couple of kids, especially my sons?"

"We aren't your sons." Max growled, "We don't know who our father is, but it defiantly isn't you."

"Why are we still talking?" Paine asked angrily. "If we're going to fight lets finish it."

Ryusa pulled a gun from his jacket and aimed it at Paine. He was about to pull the trigger, when a white lance slashed through the barrel.

"I don't think so." Nate growled, "You're fighting us and us alone."

Ryusa snorted. "Fine." He said, before pulling his other gun from his jacket. He fired a couple times at the twins, who easily avoided the bullets.

During their talking, Baralai had headed back into his house, and Tamar was now hiding behind her mother, but still watching the fight.

Casimir kept staring at Tamar's mother, he honestly couldn't help it. I felt like laughing at him, but now wasn't the time.

Both the boys tried to strike the gun at the same time, but it had some sort of super hard metal casing, so it couldn't be sliced.

The entire time, Ryusa was smirking, looking like he was really enjoying this.

After a while of fighting, Ryusa began to grow tired of the pointless combat. He knocked back both the boys, aimed into the doorway, and fired.

The bullet buried into Tamar's mother's chest, and she fell back into the young girl, who was soon in tears. Nate and Max were in a state of disbelief, and Casimir was now gripping his still clothed scythe tightly, his eyes narrowed into a death glare.

As the two boys managed to make themselves stand, Casimir ripped the cloth off his scythe. "Watch closely boys, this is the secret!" He said, his voice full of anger.

He charged towards Ryusa and then struck quickly with his scythe. The move was actually nine strikes, but they were all at the exact same time. They all hit one of the nine pressure points on the body, making Ryusa fall back.

"I made sure you wouldn't die right away, you deserve to suffer." Casimir growled, before dropping his scythe and running into the building to see if he could help at all.

Yuna looked to me. "Should we go help?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"Let Casimir handle it." I said.

Casimir fell to his knees next to the woman. "Go by your brothers, make sure they're alright." He told Tamar, who gave a hesitant nod before hurrying out of the building.

He then pulled the woman up and close to him, and he could see that she was smiling. He didn't know why, but as long as something was making her happy.

"I didn't get to tell you before.." She whispered quietly, "But I do love you.."

Casimir clutched the back of her shirt tightly, fighting back tears. It wasn't like him to cry, but it didn't really matter now.

"I'm sorry.." He replied, and she chuckled softly, before closing her eyes.

Casimir gritted his teeth together and held her limp frame tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were still slipping down his face. "I'm sorry..I'm sorry.." He kept repeating quietly.

Tamar was now hiding behind her brothers, who were both watching Casimir and their mother with blank expressions. Their minds weren't able to process all that was going on right now.

A minute later, Casimir came walking out of the building, drying off his face. His body was stained red, but he didn't seem to care as he angrily walked past everyone else.

"Casimir-" I started, but he cut me off. "I just need to be alone right now." He said, before continuing to walk.

Yuna walked over to me. "I hate to see people like this." She whispered.

I nodded. "Me too, but it cant be helped.." I said, "Let's just leave him alone for now.."
