Khnurn sighed as he sat behind his lonely desk in the now vacant section of the Rune Knight castle in Oak. He had had his Knights clear out this area and begin shipping stuff to the south for the past month and a half in preparation for their exodus from Oak. There was very little that remained in this city to keep him here but that was one thing that he was vehemently waiting on. Even as the paperwork and requests began to dwindle, even as the days passed, he had still not received word from Hitomi on her escape from the confines of Eternal Nightmare's guild hall nor had he heard of her being captured either. He was essentially in the dark about her whereabouts and while he trusted her greatly, he also knew that he had pushed her into a spot where just about anything could have happened. Day after day tested his patience as he stared out of the window, the golden rays of sunlight washing over him as he looked upon a city that he no longer cared for. His duties as a Rune Knight were now over, all that remained was his love and the future.

In the dead of the night was when she could move freely but she decided that's not what she was going to do today. No matter how she sliced the shit cake she was in something of a relationship with a Rune Knight while also being a criminal for leaving the Rune Knights to be with a dark guild. After she left Eternal Nightmare she was wanted by a few different people but that couldn't stop her from seeing the only thing that made life interesting for her. With a hood over her head and no fear in her heart, Hitomi snuck around the outside of the building where she knew Seika worked. Using whatever magic spell was at her disposal she scaled the wall quickly, peeking into each window before finding the room that belong to her beloved. Now her being quick and careful might have prevented her from being spotted but Seika would see her lovely form slipping into his window as their eyes would meet when she did so. He would be able to take in her original form when she was in the rune knights, pulling back the hood and letting her long violet locks fall nearly to the floor. A smile as warm as the sun itself on her face before she spoke, the light shining in behind her as if she were some sort of angel coming to melt away his worries.

Light of my life. How have you been?

The sudden appearance and shadow that washed over him was almost enough to be startling, however it was the glorious visage of Hitomi as she slipped into the room. She personified the aspect of love and affection as her smile shone down upon his downcast face as it slowly morphed into a smile of his own. She was safe. By Sol she was safe.

Rising from his seat, he walked around the desk and grabbed on to the woman. Holding her at arms length to look over her form. She had returned to a previous appearance, likely in an attempt to lose Eternal Nightmare's trail on her, but that didn't matter. He knew it was her, and that's all that mattered. He would pull her into a tight embrace, words not being expressed even as she had greeted him. His silent embrace was enough, and he knew it was enough to convey the emotions he held within.

Watching him move get up from his desk and move towards her only made her smile deepen once his hands were around her, and then his arms as the two embraced. Hugging him tightly she would rub his back in an ever so motherly way, almost reassuring him that everything would be ok. His scent sent a warm shudder down her spine as she buried her face into his chest, she missed him, a lot. For all that's been through in life, he was a growing comfort that she welcomed and was happy to have grown a relationship with. She didn't want to pull away but she had to, they had too much to talk about to be stuck together like this.

You didn't think I'd stay away forever did you? Chuckling as she pulled from the embrace first, she also gave him a look over, though he still looked the same he always looked good to her. If this was the time and place she'd make his desk into a bed but they had too much to talk about for that right now. How about we get out of here and have something to eat while we have a little chat.

He felt her smaller body meld into his as she rubbed his back and shoulders. It always amazed him how small and frail her body portrayed her as, even if she carried within her power beyond even his some days. It was a strength he appreciated and adored but not as much as the woman herself. He felt her pull away and looked down to listen as she cracked a joke at his expense. His smile melting into a frown as he gave her the stink eye, "You know how I worry. I feared that I had forced your hand and that it had led to you being captured..."

He would have never been so bold with their assault on the guild hall if he had known or rather, remembered that she would have been there that night. He still kicked himself for that oversight to this day. It seemed however, that it was all under the bridge as the young woman ushered him along, wishing to grab some food so that they could talk instead of standing in his extremely empty and well lit office. Chuckling at this he nodded before letting go of her and gesturing towards the door, "After you".

Shaking her head and with a wave of her hand, Hitomi dismissed the notion. Seika had done nothing but accel what was already happening between her and the guild. She left the Rune Knights with the notion that she would be leaving everything behind but that obviously didn't happen as Seika pursued her in a very different way than she thought. This course of action led her to realize that her return to Eternal Nightmare was a mistake as she was no longer going back to much of anything. The only thing you forced was me to realize that I needed to leave that guild sooner rather than later. Had I known you would come for me the way you did I don't think I would have rejoined Eternal Nightmare. Putting her hands up and shaking her head as if she was disappointed with herself she soon would replace the hood over her head.

They would be going out in broad daylight and she was a wanted woman in the area which the Rune Knights occupied, she couldn't risk being seen still. Leading the way she knew of a nice bar that served really good fries and beer. It wasn't a far walk and before they knew it the two were being seated and she was removing her hood. In a place like this, she wouldn't be easily spotted anyway so there was no need to hide. So my Knight and shining armor. What do we do now? You are still the long arm of the law, shouldn't you take me in by now? I won't fight I promise.

Following along side her as she lead him out of the building, he noted her 'disguise' which was really just a noticeably thick hoodie and some more modest clothing. It was surprising how well it hid her from the general public, even if it was sort of moot considering that Seika himself was... well him. The large imposing Knight couldn't help but wave to the many masses of people who walked by and acknowledged him. It was, awkward in a way. Basking in the praise and love of the people of Oak. He knew that it wasn't so much from the battle in Eternal Nightmare, that which had lead to the destruction of a small part of the city and the deaths of many civilians. It was something he had felt rather... embarrassed and ashamed of, but it was too late to take it back. He had fought Odin and Eternal Nightmare. He had changed these peoples lives and had brought them inadvertently into a war that they hadn't asked to be dragged into.

He was dragged from his melancholic pondering by beau's question of what was next. It was something he appreciated as he settled himself into the seat and began to regale Hitomi with his exploits. "Well... I've started the process to bring our idea to fruition. I've already met with a few potential prospects to round out our organization. My contingent of Knights and Second in Command have already left the West for the South to scout for a suitable location for us to meet and operate out of until we can locate a more secure location. So I guess what's next is... freedom."

Once seated and comfortable and after she asked her question, Seika began to speak about something that she didn't think was more than a dream for both of them, something to mentally run away to when things got too stressful on their adventures. Sitting up a little straighter her face gave way from its calm and collected self to one of surprise. It was hardly a time when surprise ever crossed her perfect visage and that was a surprise in itself. Honestly, it was a lot of information to take in and her brain was trying to register it all at once.

This forced her to go from surprise to being upset at not being his second in command like that was the biggest fucking slap in her face (figuratively of course), and then she supposed she gave way to slight relief as they were finally leaving the West, but not nearly enough as she was still soaking on the fact that she was not his second in command about and the idea they have been planning together. Slumping in her seat as she realized that it was such a small detail that she should really be looking past it but she couldn't get over it and if was paying any sort of attention, Seika would tell that something was wrong. She was speechless really and all she could do was give a nod.

He paused in his words as he gauged his loves visible response to what he had said, her visage shifting from calm to elation to a hint of jealousy. The range and variety always surprised Seika, especially when all things considered he was considerably more composed in how he perceived and interacted with the world around him. He awaited any questions or conjecture that she may have, but in the end all that met him was silence. It was perhaps to be expected, maybe she was stunned into silence after not believing that they would even have the chance to move forward after so many years. Maybe she was irritated that things were still taking too long? Or even still she may not have anything to say at all, merely contempt with the idea that things were progressing. In any case Seika made sure to at least see if everything was okay with a soft, "Is everything fine my love?"

This. Bastard.
Her eyes weren't staring at him but past him, unfocused until he called her name and her pupils snapped at him like a cat watching her prey run. Sitting up a bit and removed her hood in its entirety to show off the curves that were hardly covered but fully covered as she sat in a one-piece bodysuit that matched the color of the night sky itself, on her feet her boots came up to her shins, and nothing more. In broad daylight, this would look eyecatching no matter who was looking at her, but in the night it was the perfect cover. Since they were in a dim bar the only person who would notice would be anyone really looking at her, but she didn't care either way as she was comfortable almost as if she was wearing a second skin. A smile spread to her face the question going unanswered for just a second more before she opened her mouth.

I find it a little strange that your second in command should be going to the south right now when I'm sitting right here. Mind explaining that little magic trick?
Her voice was dripping in venom and not the kind one wanted to be directed at them. He could read between the lines, she wasn't going to make a scene but she would make damn sure he understood his mistake.

Danger.

His senses tingled as he felt something ominous occurring not even a few feet from him. He could see the rather ravenous, almost borderline bloodthirsty look upon Hitomi's face and for once wondered if he had said something wrong or offensive. For the life of him he couldn't fathom what caused the woman to react in such a deviant way but for once he actually felt terrified of the dainty woman. That fear grew when she finally stripped herself of her hoodie, the fluffy fabric falling to the wayside to reveal the luscious woman underneath. It was one of the few sights that truly showed that Sol had blessed Seika for his hard work and dedication to the cause. That was the only explanation for the blood that seemed to travel everywhere but his brain.

Mouth going dry, his helmet sensed his rising blood pressure and assumed a fight was going to commence, segmented sections sliding into place, the large Deseirtian listened as the woman pointed a sharp index in his direction and demanded to know about his 'Second-in-Command'. It was an interesting point to get caught on in his opinion, but now that she had brought it up, it only caused Seika to be a bit miffed that his woman was angry about a minute detail like that.

"Really Hitomi? That is what you're upset about?"

If you don't think I already know how minuscule this was before I pointed it out then you would be wrong. I'm mad at myself for even letting it settle in me the way it is. Maybe I misunderstood something but you are right, let's move on from it. I'm already embarrassed enough as is. Her snarky smile had dropped before she opened her mouth to speak. Of course, she knew it was fucking stupid but she was over it now that she was being called out on it. Pushing out a deep sigh she couldn't get another word out before a young man with silver hair and green eyes stepped onto the table. A waiter of course and he was cute to boot. He asked what they would like to drink and if they needed more time to order. Hitomi spoke up and got herself one of the beers on tap and fries for the table, she really did like the fries.Anyway when do we leave?

Seika's blood pressure immediately began to cool down as soon as Hitomi had pulled back her feminine rage. His helmet began to slide back into its holding position, only revealing his face to his beau as she began to explain her actions and admonish herself for them. It was interesting to watch the progression in her face as she calmed herself down. It was all honestly saved by the fact that the waiter had come by to ask for their orders. Seika immediately looked to try and find a menu, not even realizing that they had been in this bar long enough for a waiter to notice their presence and come over to ask about them. Coughing into his hand, he would ask for some water and a lager, something to whet his throat after the nonsense he had gone through. Looking up at Hitomi he gave her a disarming grin, "We can leave tomorrow morning if you'd like".

That soon? He must have had his ducks all in a row already which was good because so did she. The needed change of scenery was a desired one, no a needed one, they had been in this damn area for so long that she almost thought about buying a house here and convincing him to just settle down and become normal worker bees. Her smile returned and she gave a slight nod. That sounds perfect. It gives us just enough time to say farewell to this place. After this let's head back to my suite. It's been some time since I felt the warm touch of the sun's rays. Giving an all knowing smile as she sat back in her seat it wasn't long before the waiter returned to the table with what they needed, too quick for them to even look at the menu, asking for a bit more time she plucked a fry out of the basket and enjoyed the taste.

[INVASION]

How had it come to this?

It felt like just the other day Seika had come to Jove and Reign, demanding a more stern hand to guide the guilds of Fiore. The claim that those who sat by idly within the crown affiliated guilds were just as guilty as those who fought against the crown. He wished to bring fire and blood to the enemies of the King, and to reestablish a level of order through force. Jove had thought him extreme. Extreme- but not a hypocrite.

When Hitomi Minamoto had left the Rune Knights, nothing had been set off in Jove's mind as an alarm. He had never met the woman himself, and even when she had first left there had been no reason to be notified of it. People left the Knights all the time. This made it so that as a Lieutenant made their way to Jove and handed him a document of her severance paperwork, as well as the information about where she was now, it raised alarm bells.

The girl had been in Eternal Nightmare once before becoming a Rune Knight, and had left their order again to go back to the dark guild. What's more, there seemed to be a level of intimacy between her and Seika; one that had been otherwise undisclosed. It was not enough to raise suspicion onto the fellow Captain-Commander, but it was certainly enough to spark interest.

The order was simple. Bring Hitomi Minamoto in for questioning, to be investigated for betrayal of the Rune Knight Order and to assess if any damages had been done to the Order via leakage of information.

And so Jove stood before the doors of this restaurant. He knew who stood inside; that Seika and Hitomi lied just beyond the doors. He wanted to believe Seika would understand, and would agree to Hitomi being brought in for questioning. There was no doubt she had performed questionable acts against the Kingdom, one needed only to look at her bounty.

Sighing, Jove muttered the word of power from his lips. "Superbia." Jove instantly transformed in a display of pyrotechnics, taking on the form of having been merged with his inner demon Lucifer. Pushing the door open, Jove would step in. He wouldn't be hard to recognize, and he certainly wasn't trying to be sneaky. He'd take a step or two into the establishment, immediately spotting the hulking form of Seika and the petite visage of Hitomi. They were sat in a way where she would have been able to see him enter if she looked at the door, but Seika would have had to turn around in his seat. He was a hair over eight meters away.

Jove wouldn't be immediately recognized by Hitomi, even if she had looked. Neither she nor anyone else here had ever seen Jove transform; With his fame having been kept in check so well, it was likely no one even knew of his magic, nor what he was capable of. Even if she glanced at him, or drew attention to him, it would be to that of a unique looking stranger, not of Jove Augustus.

Yet Jove respected his old companions. He knew of the nuance within humanity, and he couldn't bring himself to act preemptively. So, as the door shut behind him, Jove spoke loudly in his cool baritone voice, simultaneously bringing the scythe from his back and into his hands so that he was ready for anything. He respected them, but also knew what they were capable of, and would not be caught unawares if forced on the spot. The bar was practically empty, luckily, save for the couple and an old man in the corner as customers, and of course the staff.

"Hitomi Minamoto, you are wanted for questioning by the Order of the Rune Knights. Please come with me quietly."

Always the physical one. It seemed Hitomi never passed up a chance to make a situation between the two of them far more intimate than he was particularly used to, but it wasn't something he complained about. It was an endearing trait in all honesty, he was a man of many serious and pragmatic values, and having a partner who often wished to simply lay back and enjoy the finer things, even if those finer things were herself, was greatly appreciated. It was enough to get him to tip back his recently arrived lager, the light of the door opening before the darkness swallowed it back whole meshing with the act. A particular presence washed over him, however it wasn't enough to immediately turn his attention towards whoever or whatever it was. The drink he had been given was rather exquisite and the earthy taste of the lager definitely helped with his parched throat.

Finally turning to regard the newcomer in what had previously been a bustling pub that had somehow cleared out ever since he and Hitomi had sat down, he was greeted with the sight of none other than Jove. It was a pleasant sight, something he wasn't expecting since neither of the two Captain-Commanders shared assignments being the two top dogs of the organization. As such, Seika wasn't privy to the thoughts or orders that Jove could have been given, nor the reason for him showing up in such an uninvited if not openly hostile manner. Of course, the sight of the man in what could only be considered full battle regalia was mildly surprising, it wasn't something that immediately set off warning bells in Seika's head. In any case, Seika would at the very least rise from the booth to greet Jove. This placed him between Jove and his intended target, even if Seika himself didn't know it yet. A small smile of respect on his face, he would begin to open his mouth to speak when Jove began to offer his terms for Hitomi's surrender.

Of course.

Smile slowly morphed to frown as Seika was once again reminded of his partners... particular past. It was something that he had actively ignored for all intents and purposes as it hadn't lead to any Knights being hurt nor any of the Knights operations being sabotaged. Seika hadn't had a reason to suspect Hitomi of anything because literally nothing had happened for the past two years. Which begged the question, why now? She had been a member of Eternal Nightmare for two years now, far longer than her admittedly short stint in the Knights. If anyone would have been wary of a traitor it should have been the actual guild she had betrayed not even a month ago, but of course if the higher ups weren't reading reports, then he would only assume that the orders Jove were receiving were so far out of date that it was comical. Yet another reason under his belt. Ah how often the incompetency the bureaucracy of the Rune Knights showed itself. It was amazing that anything got done.

Regardless of Seika's feelings on the matter however, he knew Jove was just doing his 'job' however comical and worthless that seemed to be. Following orders just to chase after loose ends instead of doing any actual policing. Sighing at this, Seika he firmly place himself between Jove and Hitomi. He stood a few feet away form her at this point but still a good enough distance away from Jove as he didn't have the time to actually cross the opening of the bar to greet him properly. Now he was stuck between essentially a rock and a hard place. Argue with orders that he felt were ridiculous to follow, or let the love of his life that he had just gotten back yet again be thrust into the nonsense of Fiore's politics.

Sol how he hated this forsaken land.

Serene smile returning to his face, he relaxed if only slightly. He wasn't going to fight Jove here. Not in this bar. Not in front of these people. That would just be unbecoming of the both of them. Jove claimed he was 'reasonable'. That he 'followed' orders and maintained a close balance between the law and understanding those who resisted it. Not everyone was a criminal and all that jazz. Soft ideology that worked when it benefited the one speaking it.

Typical.

Speaking up once Jove was finished, Seika only had a few things to say, but a short time to say them, so he proceeded, "Mmm. A request has been placed on Hitomi? Interesting. I hadn't heard of such a request until you walked through the door. Well then, if that's the case I'll take her in myself after we've enjoyed our food. As you can see she isn't resisting and we are enjoying a rather simple lunch. Considering there aren't more Knights with you this doesn't seem to be an urgent matter so you can uh... stand down. No use spooking the locals with all of that flair and pomp".

He'd await Jove's response but ensured that he wouldn't move from his spot until he received it. Of course if it seemed that things would remain hostile, Seika was far more than ready to respond in kind, but that was neither here nor there. The bill would be footed by Jove if this got more rowdy than a shouting match between peers.

Another interruption. Would they ever be able to get just a moment of alone time? As long as this bounty was on her head she figured that wasn't going to be out of the woods within Fiore as a whole. She had offered herself up to Seika so that she could get this bounty thing cleared up, she even offered not too long ago or at least she asked him if he was. His emotions were getting in the way of doing what needed to be done and although she appreciated that it was clearly now going to be a hindrance. The new annoyance was named Jove. She heard his name in passing while working for the Rune Knights but never had she met him. It was no surprise that the Knights had been spread thin so this wasn't even a surprise to her as she looked his form up and down. Taking a sip of her beer before placing it on the table she would wait her turn to speak.

I really won't fight. I'm no danger to anyone. I just don't see why now after two years plus some that this is even a fuss.

Seika clearly stood himself between Jove and Hitomi, making sure to both address the reason Jove was here and to welcome his fellow Captain-Commander to the restaurant. With Jove's monstrous appearance, the famous Seika and rising star Jove facing off, and the talks of a bounty, the message had been pretty clear. Already many of the customers had left, and the owners had run towards the back. They had exceeded Jove's rather impressive sensory range, but he still couldn't be positive that they'd left the building. Regardless, the kitchen had very quickly become desolate, leaving just the three of them inside.

As Seika finished speaking, and Hitomi spoke up, a grimace took Jove's face. He often managed to avoid much of the extra work his superiors wished to put on him, but there were somethings he simply did not have a choice in the matter on. "I cannot do that, Seika." His words were quiet, but loud enough to be heard clearly. "I was giving direct orders to bring her in for questioning, and to ensure that I did so without your escort or monitoring. I, too, do not wish to fight. Please stand down and allow me to bring her in. This is above us."

There were likely questions in both of their minds. Even Jove didn't fully get it. However, he still found himself following orders. He had ensured that Hitomi would not be roughed up or treated poorly, but it was clear she had to be brought in. It was up to Seika whether or not this would turn into a bigger thing.

Oh ho? So we're pulling that card then? Well then it was time to see just how far these 'orders' went. Stroking his chin softly with his thoughts, Seika shifted his posture a bit, his feet still evenly spaced but his dominant sword hand was loose and by his side as necessary. He squinted at Jove with a bit of question on the tip of his tongue, his mouth already flying open the moment the man spoke of orders and the specifications.

"These are some rather interesting orders you've been given. Hitomi has been out of the Rune Knights for two years and has been seen alongside me for almost the entire time she's gone, and yet I'm not requested to be brought in for what could be considered treason either? On top of that, she's been missing for quite a bit of time recently and only resurfaced and yet, here you are with new orders as if the urgent need to capture her for her betrayal wasn't actually something that the higher ups desperately needed new information on. That's not to speak of the apparent security risk you are all things considered. For someone who seems to fraternize himself with Dark Mages more than anyone else in the Rune Knights, giving you the order to escort someone previously of Eternal Nightmare without my assistance is almost... comical, you would say.

So pray tell Jove, just who is offering you this order from way up high, because now I'm curious. Is this really an order from the higher ups? Or a personal payday for yours truly? Because if its the later, I'm more than willing to share in the prize. We're civilized people, you can even sit down and enjoy lunch with us before carting her off to Headquarters. But if it's the former, then I'm going to need you to produce something a little more substantial than, 'Oh the higher ups' said so. Because we both know that those fools don't actually offer any orders unless its for their own self serving interests."

His speech was long and uncanny, but wasn't without flavor. Of course, if Jove felt slighted and wanted to attack him while he spoke, Seika was always positioned in such a way as to retaliate at any given point during his words, so worry was not something that flowed off the tip of his tongue rather than the scathing impression he had of the worthless bureaucrats that ran the Rune Knights into the ground. Why Reign allowed politicians and nobles to have a say in the day to day operations of his police force, Seika would never know.

Hitomi Minamoto †
She would remain quiet, her mind thinking of the many ways to escape from her current position. If she were lucky then Jove would go away and she could enjoy her lunch in peace. Peace is the biggest word here since his presence scared everyone out of the building or hiding in the back of the kitchens somewhere, she could really only assume that's where the owners and workers were. I mean if they left completely with things cooking back there it would probably be a fire hazard and she didn't think they wanted to deal with that. Unfortunately for Hitomi she was hardly ever lucky these days and now she had to be prepared for the unlucky parts, which would have her somehow caught up in something completely out of hand. Had Jove left after Seika already explained that he would take her in of course she could relax, but it seemed that Jove was very ready to fight if any resistance was shown on their part.

Hitomi's violet gaze kept steady on Jove, his hulking demonic form and the scythe he carried in his hand a clear indication of what was to come if the wrong move was made. She didn't want to fight, in fact, she was tired of fighting. She had been fighting everything from the monsters that touched the veil which kept beings out that would rip apart this world to possessed mice and nearly everything in between including humans, elves, and liches. Giving a soft sigh she would stand up from her seat, a fork in the road splitting ever so slowly in the metaphorical sense. Soon she'd have to pick a path.

Jove sighed as Seika finished speaking. They had misunderstood the reason Hitomi was being brought in, interpreting his words in one direction when really they meant something else entirely. Still, he was under his orders. He would not be explaining to them where they went wrong in their understanding, nor would he try to discuss this any further. It seemed as though their destinies had become clearly define. Jove locked eyes with his coworker, who still stood at attention ready to react, and gave a disappointed smile.

"Well, I guess that's that then. I'm sorry."

Seika was eight meters before him, Hitomi nine; this wasn't something he only just now assessed, but instead was information he had noted upon his arrival and kept track of ever since. Jove's knees bent, the movement occurring immediately after he had finished speaking, and he lunged forward towards the still stationary Seika. Jove closed the distance between them in less than a second down to a meter and a half, swinging his scythe from his right side so that the blades tip was equal to the back of Seika's head. The swing had been wound up as soon as Jove kicked off the ground, and so as his momentum stopped, the scythe snapped forward instantaneously, offering no delay from his halt in movement to the swing. Jove's eyes remained firmly planted on Seika, watching for any sort of reaction on his part. Jove wouldn't be able to stop the dash, but that wasn't to say there was nothing that he could do should his opponent respond.

Jove had at the very least allowed him to finish speaking, showing that the man did retain some of his character and reasonable traits, however that also meant that the man's determination was just as iron clad as it would ever be. The somber look upon his face let Seika know that the man had already made up his mind. Of course the drawn weapon and the hostile stance were also obvious indicators, but an appeal to humanity was something that Seika was trying more and more these days as he found himself needing more and more allies for his future plans. Consigning himself to the fate of having to fight Jove, he would watch the man prepare himself, weapon already in hand as he began to dash forward.

Seeing and acknowledging all of this, Seika would already have his left hand wrapped around the lacquered wood of Senji Nigiri. His body coiled itself, his left foot sliding back quickly allowing his body to tilt towards the left while his body leaned forward, placing pressure and balance on his right foot. Jove's quickly approaching body would be met by the sudden unsheathing of Ryujin Jakka, the pommel of the sword extending out from the sheath. The handle was gripped tightly near the tsuba of the weapon by Seika's right hand as his body dipped down below the plane where Jove's scythe would've cut through. His head was now level with Jove's chest as his clenched hand moved towards the lowest two ribs of Jove's body on his right hand side, the strike intended to wind and possibly even fracture one of the man's ribs using the quick strike and Jove's momentum against himself. He made sure to keep his head up as he did so, watching the man's movements to ensure that he wasn't missing anything. The movement was intended to create space between the two, however if space wasn't created, than a strike at Jove's body would suffice in kind.

Hitomi Minamoto †
She had every opportunity to run. At every single point after she stood up an opening to flee began to present itself to her, survival instincts kicking in. Thinking about it, all she ever did was run but this time her body wouldn't run away and she knew why. Once she heard the first three words out of Jove's mouth she knew she wasn't leaving out of here on peaceful terms as she quickly stepped from behind Seika about a foot away to his right side, her line of sight now free from any obstructions as she stared down Jove. It didn't matter the reason at this point for why he wanted to take her in so badly, by the sixth word out of Jove's mouth, she was releasing Kusanagi from its sheath. The next few seconds were like the snapping of a twig. Her knees bent at the same time as Jove's and at the same time her sword flicked up and pointed straight forward in his direction, towards his upper right arm, like a mirror image but at the same time not quite.

Her body lunged forward as Jove's body lunged forward, her blade being one point five meters long, closing the already short distance between the two as she aimed true at the upper part of his right arm. Her fear of losing Seika overrode her instinct to run as she had always been doing. She didn't want to kill Jove but perhaps disarming him would cause him to flee for today. This fight would only end in two people against one so the odds were against him but they weren't impossible so Hitomi wouldn't take any chances in not being careful. She didn't have to swing her sword which saved her time as she was just going to ram it through his arm. She felt that perhaps she was just a bit faster in her lunge than Jove though she was certain that with these split-second actions he wouldn't have nearly enough time to respond to her without taking some sort of action that would curb what he started. Of course, she could only speculate.

Claiming Hits:

Jove's eye caught it all. Every movement either of them made, the preparation, the angles of their attacks, everything. It became clear to Jove that, despite their relationship and how close they were, they certainly didn't have any experience fighting together. Not even he could fully predict everything which happened here though. As Jove saw Seika continue to move despite the impaling, he couldn't help but grin. This action, the grin, activated his spell. There was no magic circle, and no indication that it had formed.

Jove stopped a meter and a half in front of Seika, as was intended, and swung for a head which still managed to dodge perfectly beneath the blade. Seika's own blade shot forward, the hilt colliding with Jove's exposed ribs, though Jove never stopped moving. As soon as his scythe missed, Jove's hands had shifted their hold, using the scythes momentum to carry the swing into a forward figure eight motion.

The hilt did no damage to Jove, but instead drove home the damage to Seika's already damaged torso. Three A rank damage to his ribs, instantly shattering the bone. The wind would be out of his lungs, his muscles would contract preventing further movement, and every movement he made would be agony.

And yet the assault did not finish. The forward figure eight brought the scythes blade back down, this time from the upper left of Jove's periphery and diagonally across Hitomi and Seika. The blade would stab itself into the back of Hitomi's neck, through her throat, and stick out of her neck. Following through, the blade would also impale into the back of Seika's head, which was at Jove's chest level and therefore approximately equivalent in height to Hitomi's neck.

The damage would be enough to end the fight, should it all land as intended.

Pain lanced up Seika's back as he dropped into his stance, it was shocking that he felt it come up from behind but for the moment it was something he had to ignore if only to prevent himself from dying at Jove's hands at this very moment. The man was still approaching at an accelerated rate and while the pain was sharp, the plan hadn't changed. His body in a solid yet pained sword drawing stance, Seika still unsheathed his blade, the movement as smooth as it could be with sliced back muscles, the sight of the grin on his adversaries face almost a confirmation of who had actually stabbed him in the back. It was a cocky look, as if he had already won because of the actions of another, but the plan had not changed.

And then it happened. The second shock to his system as pain ripped through his chest causing blood to shoot out of his mouth. Even as the blade of the scythe arced overhead, his body dropped to his knees, the strength sapped from it as his hand let go of the handle of his blade. His arm had begun to slip when his mind reminded him again, that the plan hadn't changed. With his body lower than before, he now had to lift his hand upwards, his hand already grasping for something, literally anything to manifest as he angled it upwards towards Jove's chest, and in particular, his heart. There was no worry about such a strike being angled in a way that it would hit him as the hand he used to perform the action was already extended far past his body in this instance. In the grasp of his hand, Solar magic sparked to life as he performed this action, a brilliant golden magic circle appearing underneath the both of them as the magical energy shot forwards, quickly piercing towards Jove's body as he came out of his figure eight motion with the scythe in his hands. With little time to spare, the close proximity of the two would not give Jove nearly the time to react to such a sudden burst of magic shooting at him, especially with him being mid over arcing slash at the two individuals. Whether or not Seika's actions prevented himself and Hitomi from being skewered was unknown, but the effort and intention was clear, the plan had not changed, and he did not intend for neither himself nor Hitomi to go down without a fight.
