Aqua glares at Shizuo and then goes to Sora's side, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Its okay... We won't let you." And with that she gently allows what little magic she has to heal what little she could on Sora.

Sora shook at the touch and an odd un-character like attribute Sora happened, he turned around and hugged her. She was one of the FEW women that willingly would want to be around him, for that moment his sarcasm took a day off and saw the mother-figure of the Network as a lifeline.

She had not been able to move until now, and before her mind was completely focused she found herself on her knees on the other side of Sora. Shiki took a breath before saying simply, "Sora?"

Aqua embraces Sora back and then glances up at Shiki before back to Sora.

Shizuo's arms dropped to his sides, the energy stopped crackling and his eye pigmentation slowly returned to normal. He gave a heavy sigh. It was over, for now. "Thank god for that..." He wheezed, his throat sore from the sudden laxness of his vocal chords. Approaching Sora as well, he squatted down in the dust, for once not bothered about the appearance of his outfit, hell, one side of the collar was burnt off and it was covered in rips and dirt. "You okay?" He asked as he watched him cling onto Aqua, almost like a child to his mother. "You're not fun to shoulder barge." He said, rubbing his shoulder, trying to make light of the situation.
"Just all boney and stuff."

He was shaking, not from sorrow...but from holding back the Rider, his body was not transforming but it took a great deal of willpower to hold him off from appearing. As Shiki got near him he didn't pull away from Aqua immediately, slowly he disengaged himself from her and looked at Shiki.
"Still think 'us' is a good idea...with everything going on?"

Shiki sighed, "We have bigger problems to worry about." She looked at him, nothing but her concern showing in her eyes, "There's no point in losing sleep over it right now."

"I am the bigger problem Shiki," he said, slowly standing up. "I nearly...I nearly killed Shizuo and Aqua. I...I am threat to everyone around me, as worse as him...as worse as Hei Nerr."
He continued, grabbing his own head. "My whole worst fear has happened, my enemies are coming after you all. I affiliated myself with all of you and now you all are targets!"

"No you're not!" It came out angrier than expected. She jumped to her feet, "Sora, affiliating yourself with us was the best thing you could've done. Because you can't do this on your own-do not say that you can." She took a deep breath and continued, "How do you know that just because you've gotten to know some people that this never would have happened otherwise? Something worse could have happened even if you didn't."
Shiki reached up and pulled his hands from his head, but didn't let them go. "Do you really think that's going to stop us? We knew the risks of coming here tonight, and we came here anyway. And we'd all do the same for you because we care." Shiki looked him in the eyes, "None of this is your fault."

Sora seemed a bit calmer, but he his words indicated something else. "Maybe you're right...but, this one...no, he definitely came after all you because of me. That's what he obsesses about, finding ways to take me down it..."
He sighed, "Its a long story...that will need to be told at another time. Listen, Aqua, you aren't safe here. Is there anywhere you can go that you haven't displayed on the Network? A...a house? Or a friend? Hell, Shizuo even?"

Shizuo resisted the temptation to say 'speak for yourself' when Sora said he'd almost killed him. Instead he just took in his stride. Raising a hand to the bridge of his nose he rubbed it, the dull pain fading as finally all of the gold pigmentation faded from his eyes, the last sign that his halfer blood had calmed down once again.
"Aqua and the kids could stay at mine." He suggested with a small shrug "But that asshole knows about me and Aqua, that'd be the first place he'd look." He glanced up at Aqua "Not that it matters. Nothing's just stopping the guy from going to Izaya and finding out where they are anyway. So I guess it'd be safer to keep them with me, so I can protect them." He gave a stretch and a yawn. "Man... Tonight's really taken it out of me..."

It hurt. God damn it hurt!
But his ankles weren't breaking, and he was getting more and more pissed off. His glowing hand reached down, ripping at the sand hardening around his ankles as he let out a cry that was only halfway human...

The last attack I manged to use did no damage to the guy but I soon began no to care as my world went back and when I awoke Shiki was cradling Sora.
"Uh guys? Hate to break this up but would someone mind filling me in on what happened?"

"Get out of my sight." Gaara said bluntly as he swung his hand to the right. The sand, seemingly having a mind and will of it's own, followed the movement of his hand and proceeded to drag Nero to the right, before loosening it's grip. Aiming to throw him away from its Jinchuriki. Gaara's eyes then locked onto Roxas' before he crossed his arms and started to crumble, sand armour dropped off his skin, before that started to fade off too. It had been a clone the whole time. Made out of sand.
~
Roxas sat slumped on the floor despite barely attacking. He gripped his head between his hands and rocked back and forth, his head pounding from the effort of dragging out the demon sitting inside of him.
I was not yet ready to fight him.
But then, when would he be ready?
I will be prepared next time. Shukaku will not catch me unawares again.
Hopefully not. Roxas' breathing was heavy as he let out an audible groan of pain. "Nero?" He called out "You okay?"

He grunted, rubbing at his ankles - sore, but usable.
"I'll be fine. Been in a lot worse scrapes than that.... let's head outside, huh? Seems like we missed the party out there."
---
A few minutes later, he was out, just in time to catch Shizuo's statement.
"Sorry, but that's not entirely accurate. There's quite a lot preventing that jackass from hiring Izaya... and that's Izaya himself. He's a jackass of the highest caliber himself, but even he's got standards."
