It was about time and Kiko knew that Dyson had pushed off the spell as long as he could to where everyone would forget about Kendra Shaw. The world would rewire everything for humans in the way she looked and the fact that she died in a home invasion.

Kiko hated to do this, but she tried to call Eric and Kiko and both didn't reply. She just calmly pulled out her cell phone and with a couple strokes and swipes, she made the now repaired front door unlock. It was a little out of bounds since her access to Kennie's home alarm system was never revoked. However, in less than 20 minutes the sun would rise and with it the 'new' world. It would be REALLY bad if Kendra was still with Eric.

"Hello?" Kiko walked treaded cautiously into the foyer. No response.

She glanced over to the living room and then swept the dining room, kitchen and then swiftly made up upstairs. It was a freaking mess in the hallway since pieces of the bed room and its former walls were everywhere. There she found the couple just sitting on floor amongst rubble and Kendra leaning onto Eric with a thick blanket around her. It wasn't the fact that Kendra was cold, it was probably more for Eric since she'd make him cold. Her body temp was probably at room temperature.

Eric addressed Kiko without even darting a glace at her, "How much time?"

"About 15 minutes,"Kiko informed not daring to lean on any walls or support beams since she didn't know how stable this area was structurally.

Dead silences engulfed all and Kiko just observed the wake.

Kendra, apparently really upset she had to go, look down and despondently asked the floor, "What can I take with me Kiko?"

Kiko just replied at a matter of course, "The less you the take better the transition. If you take something that Eric knows that was special to both of you, if and when you meet again after the change, he will wonder why you have it."

"Shit," Kendra shook her head. "How close can I cut it?"

"5 minutes, we need to clear the area and give time for your husband to be alone with his thoughts," Kiko relayed.

Kendra was pissed and ordered, "Kiko. Come back in 5. No sooner, no later."

Kiko knew she wasn't wanted and turned to leave and as she was making her was to the nearly demolished stairs she heard Kendra promise, "I will never take Dyson as my husband. It's my commitment to you Hero. I want to be faithful to you even after all this."

Kiko froze, she knew she wasn't supposed to hear that or be there but she just couldn't help it.

"I told you, it'll be ok, give it some time," Eric said soothingly. "You never know what life has in store for you."

"I WANT what was already written about us. That I AM a faithful wife that fucked up but in the end was yours and yours alone," Kendra nearly barked.

"OK, it will be regardless of what you do in this new life," Eric reasoned.

"But I AM holding onto us and when this is all done, I will still have enough to bring US forward."

"DON'T" Eric warned, "Just don't sweetie. Don't LIVE in regret. I don't want that for you. You want me to move on, you need to as well."

"Eric?" Kendra paused and carefully asked, "Who will be by your side to help you thought this if not I?"

"Our friend Jenny of course."

"I can't think of anyone better," Kendra agreed.

There was a long pause and for a moment Kiko thought she was detected, but Kendra carefully stated, "If you go with Jenny I won't be angry."

Eric seemed to take this like he faithfulness was in question, "Jenny isn't my type."

"IF Hero.. IF," Kendra chuckled, "I saw the way you gawked at her in her two piece during a pool party."

"Hey so was everyone else, even you," Eric retorted.

"Yea, I was just jealous," Kendra seemed to admit.

"Hey and so Dyson aside, even if you vote him off the island, there will be others that may vie for your heart. Heck I might even try again if I see you."

"OTHERS? I'm a fucking ghoul now, who else would run after me 'cept may another Fae who is undead."

"Well ….. I can think of someone else right now."

Kendra just chuckled, "Don't get too imaginative on me. There are no others Hero."

"It's a fact for Kiki or Kiko Tanaka."

SILENCE.

'OH SHIT!' Kiko thought to herself Eric just outed her. Out of all the people, fucking Eric, but then of course, he was probably the only person who had the right to out her since Eric was watching Kendra's back as her husband, at least for another 10 minutes.


Back at the crack shack, Bo had a veritable feed session throughout the night. Tamsin played submissive for Bo and she didn't mind. Any and EVERY position she tried and it was out of sheer exhaustion that Bo collapsed asleep. Also Bo overfed and Tamsin noted that if Bo overfed, she'd passed out.

PERFECT, she'd have to use that later.

Tamsin was tired and drained. In any case she had to get water downstairs to get a refill of water or booze since Bo kept her in bed the whole time. No one EVERY cuffed and blind folded her like that ever. Also Bo used beads on her and she just could not stop cresting, giving Bo maximum chi.

She therefore stumbled out of bed, pulled on a robe, and the rails to support her on the way down.

Tamsin nearly fell off the last step until someone caught her but no one was in the area.

"Hiya T," a chippy voice stated.

BLAZE.

Tamsin just nodded to her with Arin coming in the front door with some dresses in garment bags.

Kenzi who was eating cereal just ran up like a mother and felt her forehead for some sort of fever, "Oh monkey balls! What did my Bo Bo do to you!"

Tamsin just batted back scrunching her face annoyed, "What you think human? All night and morning was like…." She then did a raspy inhale. Then Tamsin snored, and then did a raspy inhale again. "Wash rinse and repeat. Essentially any time her eyes were open, she was sucking me dry in more ways than one,"

Blaze supported Tamsin to settle into the couch with Kenzi scolding, "Well obviously you're not totally spent and how dare you speak to your mom that way."

Tamsin sulked and apologized, "Sorry moms. Too bad I'm the ONLY one she feed from."

Arin got her a glass of water and Tamsin just sat there letting the couch swallow her and recover for several minutes.

Arin chimed in, "Well even if she COULD, would she?"

Tamsin just shifted around a little to get more comfortable, "Nope, she has some human trait that monogamy is the way to go. So this twisted thing where she is 100 percent dependent on me makes her feel closer and more committed. Uggggg feelings."

"She's a succubus, she slept around before and fed right?" Arin questioned.

"Yes but to her even having sex with another constitutes cheating to some degree, but feeding. THAT has ALWAYS been a thing even with the doc. Emergency feeds OK, but it not like she can do it now."

Tamsin just closed her eyes and opened them just a crack every now and then. She noted that Blaze and Arin seemed to be the best of friends which was good. As for Kenzi she just kept asking Blaze about her capabilities like was she fast enough to steal money from an open register during checkout. It was yes more or less and Tamsin could tell Kenzi was scheming. Arin just nudged the Mercury Fae and then proceeded to scold Kenzi and Blaze for even thinking about it since they were progressing to banks.

After some more banter, Arin then proceed upstairs to hang the dresses in a hall closet outside of Bo's room and bathroom, but knew to be quiet.

Tamsin just warned her ahead of time via the link, 'Don't wake up Bo and if you do ID yourself.'

'Yea, I know,' stealthily putting the dresses away noting that Bo was still sleeping soundly.

'NO you don't know Bo. She's ravaged me the entire night and morning. I hate to say this, I need some shut eye badly. Yep, she really puts the 'suck' into 'succubus.'

Arin huffed out a laugh hanging the dresses up was going to sneak back down until Tamsin just groan over the link. 'Soooooooo tired and Blaze and Kenzi are tucking me in upstairs in my room,' Tamsin groaned.

She was in really bad condition Arin deduced but asked just standing there, 'Did she go overboard on you?'

'Welll, about that, I had to yield to her since I exposed her to friends and family, which wasn't supposed to happen.'

'So what were the terms?'

'God, well I wear robes when I get home, nothing else and dresses when we go out, but most importantly I drop all clothing and submit totally when she needs to feed….. Nodding off. Blaze is sooo soft warm. Sis… TTLY.. sorry about pulling TT away from youuuu.'

Arin noted Tamsin was REALLY REALLY badly drained. It was almost as if Tamsin fought in a battle and was near death. Also she noted that Blaze was nice to tuck her sister in and stay with her. She knew Blaze and her had history and were extremely close but it was odd the way Tamsin apologized for taking Blaze away from her. It's not like Blaze and her were connected at the hip but she did note that she never laughed and had that much fun with anyone else.

She made her way down stairs where she shot the breeze with Kenzi and later joined by Mark.

Tamsin was nude under the sheets spooning with a clothed Blaze since it was either no robe or robe for the Valkyrie.

As for Blaze she just stayed with her for a bit until she was in deep sleep. It was the idea state to heal for a Valkyrie. She heard laughter downstairs and really wanted to join in but she too was tired as well. She had her own life too but was going out of her way to be with Arin. Then she too fell asleep embracing her sister.


Kendra craned her head over to Eric and he was being serious judging by his expression alone but not ready to accept the truth she just whispered since Kiko was in the area probably downstairs, "She has a guy she has a crush on. Just because we are together doesn't mean we are more than friends."

Eric nodded and replied gently, "It's still true."

Kennie then asked, "OK just earlier she swore to be my sister."

Eric knew this was taxing on Kendra and just blurted it out kissing her cheek from behind and whispering in her ear, "Because of me. I didn't approve of her being in your life at all."

"Why Hero?" Kendra question hurt that Eric didn't approve.

"I didn't say that, but she knew. She killed some of our operatives remember?"

"Yea, but she's the only one helping me out that doesn't want to bang me," Kendra rebutted leaning in whispering back.

Eric knew that Kendra was a little slow in love and then just put it out there, "You won't let Dyson back in, but where is Kiko? Your sister. She is closer to you anyone else save me."

"Im… impossible," Kendra shook her head but then it occurred to her that Kiko may be in ear shot so just raised her voice towards the hall and said, "Hey Kiko, TIME!"

Kiko heard nothing but was deliberating what to do when Kendra asked for the time left. This was effed up since if she replied from her current position, she blow her cover that she was really close and can overhear them.

Kiko found it better to take her time and show up in front of them and stated formally, '2' minutes left.

Kendra ready EVERY word and action from Kiko and it was highly plausible that Kiko never left. She needed to explore this new bit of information and not get all weird on Kiko. OMG, Kiko massaged her nude, was it really veiled sex for Kiki? All this information and not enough time. Kendra crashed her lips into Eric after they stood back up.

For the last couple minutes Kiko just stood there since she needed to pull Kendra out when time was up. Wow, Eric and Kendra really did love one another that deeply since their kisses were lit with passion and commitment; One she could only dream about for herself. As to her outted status which may or may not be since Kendra could have chosen to ignore it, it just had to wait.

Kiko felt really horrible tearing Kendra away from Eric. Kendra fought tooth and nail several times to run back to him but time was running out. Kiko yanked and pushed her out the door.

Eric cried silently sitting at the top of the stairs knowing that his one true love was going to someone else. He saw the hardened assassin take her away but was she that hard? Kiko's eyes were brimming with unfallen tears. Apparently Kiko DID respect their relationship and could sympathize after all.

Kendra just yelped in pain as Kiko buckled her into the passage seat doing a high pitch screech of agony. She was in shambles over this course of action and the full effects just hit her now.

Kiko stepped on the gas and Kendra gave her back to Kiko the entire time crying alone. Kiko tried to hold her but KENDRA KNEW. She would shuck off her hand whenever she tried to comfort her.

The hour long drive sucked and between the agonizing, heart wrenching crying, screaming and screeching, she angrily asked, "IS IT TRUE KIKO!"

"What?"

"You KNOW what I mean. I'm NOT stupid, you heard us!"

"I.."

"LIAR!" Kendra whipped around seething with contempt. "You LIED to me!"

"About?" Kiko trembled.

"Your boyfriend! FUCK! It was ME all along! You.. you sneaky….. little WHORE!" Kendra snapped back.

OW that hurt.

"LET ME OUT! NOW!" Kendra demanded.

Kiko didn't have a choice and pulled to the side. They were near the city limits and near her place but Kendra was so fucking mad that she complied.

And in a dash with a left open passenger door, Kendra was gone.

Kiko began to cry silently pulling her out her phone. She needed Dyson to find her and look after Kendra now. As for her, it was time to disappear, Kendra hated her guts after all.


A/N: Ummmmmm ummmmm yea ... next chap anyone?
