Persona - Mask of Origins

Lady Shiv suffered a cut down her front, but the layers of clothes she wore took the most of it as she jumped back a lot more lithly that she should've been able to. "You're not a very well behaved young lady are you. No wonder Zain wanted to leave to live with you. Such anger is greatly appreciated for my experiment, but unfortunately, he's not finished so I must take him home."

Zain snarled and turned to Sakuya and Toya, "I knew Yuki would bring us dinner. She always has been concerned for my health. Starvation wouldn't be benificial." He loped toward them, "Tell me Toya, do you love Sakuya yet? It'd be so much more fun seeing your heart break as the light leaves her eyes."

 

Yuki continued to attack in a blind rage. She then began to charge up a devestating attack.

"No, Mistress! You mustn't use that technique!"

 

Toya thought the question being to asked to him. He wasn't sure how he felt about Sakuya.

 

Yuki fired off a large blast of energy at Lady Shiv. It was neither light or darkness, but a void blast.

 

Sakuya ran to Yuki, worried about her.

 

Lady Shiv's eyes opened wide before being hit by the blast. It ripped away her human form, she looked like any other shadow, long talons and a mutated form. Several viles of purple liquid fell from her decimated clothes. She screamed, "My skin! My beautiful skin! You stupid girl! You have no idea how to turn him back and you'd kill one of the few people who do!? You play with not only one life but many."

Zain stopped until he could lift his lance and touch Toya with it. "It must hurt, knowing she couldn't possibly love you."

 

"She's only going along with it to please our parents." Toya said. "If she loves me, than she loves me. I just let things run their course."

 

Yuki staggered back, visibly weakened. Lucifer shielded her so that no harm could come to her.

 

Sakuya helped Yuki stand up. Nix attacked the shadows and Lady Shiv.

 

Yuki's rage faded.

"I'm surprised you managed to survive using Medigo, mistress."

 

"Yuki-chan, don't you dare worry me like that again!" Sakuya hugged her, crying.

 

"We have to get her out of here."

"No, Lucifer. I can still fight. I'm not leaving my brother behind."

 

Zain snarled, "Could you all get any more pathetic?! Such saps!" He ran and grabbed up the viles. "All because of these. Blood of the shadows. interesting, how worried would my dear sister be if I drank these."

Lady Shiv growled, "Yessss! My project will be complete and I can die peacefully. I bet she'd be quite upset little monster. Upset indeed."

Orphan wriggled himself from Zain and curled around his hand, forcing him to drop the viles, "Don't you dare listen to this witch. I'm still your persona and I won't let you destroy yourself. Yuki! We need to confine Zain!"

 

Yuki used what strength she had to confine Zain in a dark cage. She snatched the vials from him and shattered them.

 

Orphan covered Zain's mouth as best he could with the fangs not poking him to block the foul language. "I'm terribly sorry about this Zain." He snarled.

Lady Shiv trembled with hatred, "Filthy creatures! You'll get your just desserts!" she ran off with the other shadows as the sun set.

 

Yuki was clearly worn out at this point. Lucifer carried the cage as Yumi walked home.

 

Zain tiredly sat in the cage, accepting his defeat. Pulling Orphan off he snarled nonsensically at everyone.

Orphan rested on Yuki's shoulders, "Don't take him persssonally. He doesssn't know what he'ssss doing right now."

 

"I know. He'll come to his senses soon enough. Until then, he stays in the cage."

 

Zain wore himself out, pulling at the dark bars and snarling at her and eventually curled into the corner and fell asleep. Growling in his sleep.

 

Yuki passed out on the couch. For once in her life, she slept a dreamless sleep.
