An Affair To Forget

[Mamori]

I frown slightly, "I dont know about the kitsunes around in this time. But back where I came from kitsunes stuck together all of the time. We arent like humans, We are spirits... The only way we are on this plane of existance is if we manifest into bodies, or possess someone else's"

[Erin Valotovna]

"No, everything is acceptable." I state. My interests are limited, as are my desires.

[Xavier Jaures]

"Valodya Bassarov, I was meaning to meet with him sometime, but since I am so involved in French politics I have not had the time." Xavier says before he teleports Zero back to France. There are still many injurred people in the hallways of Versailles Palace.

"This is all horrible." He says as he starts healing some of the nationalists.

[Iltanesh]

"That is good. If there is nothing else you need, then I shall bid you good day. It is best that you return before much suspicion is aroused."

[Mitsune]

"Tell me about your time, where you lived." Mitsune suddenly asks, in a rather pathetic voice. Her childhood had been lived in the city, stuck alone all day in a large mansion.

She had no childhood friends, or an even enjoyable childhood at all.

[Phillippe Montaille]

"Ah Xavier! You 'ave returned, tres bon, tres bon. And you 'ave brought 'elp! C'est magnifique! We must 'urry, we 'ave lost so many already."

[Xavier Jaures]

"I know. The rebel movements are so scattered. I am afraid that it was hard to find any help at all." Xavier says as he heals.
"I managed to find Zero here, but that is all."

["Zero" Americanski]

I go around tending to the less seriously injured, as my healing ability is quite limited. If I heal the badly injured I will be able to treat a dozen at the most. When I finish I have treated sixty with minor injuries (like broken arms and legs) and I am exhausted. I sit down against a stone wall and light up. "Healing is tiring work. d**n am I hungry..."

[Erin Valotovna]

"Yes." I quickly head back inside.

[Xavier Jaures]

"We could all get something to eat together." Xavier suggests.

[Despair]

Despair finally tracks down Mischa. He enters the apartment of a fellow Red Infinity operative and finds him chained up in a bedroom.

"This is an interesting situation, Mikhael Nadyezhda. It makes this a lot easier."

He walks over to Mischa and kicks him hard in the gut. This relieves those other feelings of jealousy.

["Zero" Americanski]

"As long as it's got a big portion size I'll eat just about anything right now... I grew up on meat and bread, Asian food isn't very filling and I've only had breakfast today." I drag my cigarette and exhale through my nose. I pull out my pack. "Either of you smoke?"

[Mamori]

I sigh and glance away. "... My time, The humans called it the Warring states era, What is now Japan. It wasnt really a good time to grow up in, But the kitsunes made the best of it". I shake my head slightly, decided that I might as well tell her my past.

"Up until my fifteen^thbirthday I lived with my parents and a few neighbor kitsune clans, they all pitched in to teach us kids how to use out magic so we wouldnt get hurt". I sigh and look up at her. "Despite the threat of humans, and the fact that the humans were fighting constantly, Us kitsune stayed mostly to ourselves except for a few who left to help out humans when they were needed. My parents died when I was fifteen so I left our clan and went out into the world on my own. During the first week I was almost killed five times, once by a demon who thanks to my magic, I escaped"

I turn and glance towards the outskirts of the city. "... but even so, i didnt give up on that they were some good in humans, I continualed until i came to a village, i created the illusion of a young human over myself and entered it. Back then, humans werent really different then other animals, Its just their different beliefs that made them fight.

During the years that I styed there, I fell inlove with a human, We started to get close, but she eventually died, Her fellow humans said they couldnt determine the cause, but I could, I had constantly used my powers for her, but inturn.... I had drained her essence, I left and ventured out agian, but there were constant battles, of both humans and demons".

I shake my head and look at her. "The time i lived in wasnt really a pleasant one, but still, The kitsunes as other demons and spirits, stuck to their own kind and helped one another, Unlike the humans". I wipe my face with the back of my hand and continual. "...I went back to the clan after a few years, But they were slaughtered by humans..., But even so, I wasnt bitter towards the humans, After all, Kitsunes were spirits, we couldnt really die, only our physical bodies can, So I know I will see them again when I die. That was why I tried to kill myself. Unfortunately.... I was foolish and the land I went to sleep in was filled with magic which my body absorbed and continualed to live on".

I scratch the back of my head. i knew i was over one hundred. but as to how much, i had no clue.

[Phillippe Montaille]

"Ah, non madmoiselle," I say to Zero, refusing the cigarette.

"But getting something to eat does sound like a good plan. We may also want to get some food for some of ze other doctors, perhaps pick something up for zem later."

[Xavier Jaures]

"Phillipe, you like to cook, why don't we go back to my apartment and you can make us something to eat." Xavier says in a rude and imposing manner.

"And no, I don't smoke, it makes my clothes smell bad and the women don't like it."
