A dish, best served cold. [CLOSED]

[gentlecuteside]

Characters: Amamiya Sakurako (gentlecuteside), Kris Loop (ported), and Akiha Tohno (ritsu_kouyou)
Date: Midnight, 2/7
Summary: Amamiya storms the Tohno Manor looking for some payback
Warnings: Yeesh, this one's probably going to get ugly.

Amamiya stood atop one of the trees surrounding the Manor, hand held out in front of her. From her hand sprang a network of cables connected to tiny spy cameras, circling the enormous manor and trying to decide on the best way in. There are so many windows she could use for access, but where would be best...

Withdrawing her Peeping Lovers program back to her hand, she decided on a course of action. She would go in through the front doors. But not without first creating a distraction.

Amamiya dropped to the ground, as though the drop were nothing noteworthy. She found a rock on the ground nearby and hefted it - it was nearly the side of her head and every bit as heavy as that sounded. Giving it a telekinetic boost, she threw it high and fast, so that it shattered a window on the top floor with a clatter that split the night. She gave it a few seconds after that, and then crossed the space between her and the house in a sudden motion, nearly faster than the eye could see, throwing the heavy door open.

Abyss shrieked with pain and...basically started flipping out. Still resisting the draining of her heat, she began sending out blade after blade, pressing her psi to the limit. They manifested all over her body and flew outwards, striking at everything around her blindly in a deadly tantrum. She wasn't going to stay down unless forced to.

When Amamiya started struggling, lashing out at everything around her, Akiha was glad she had her held in place and far enough away that the attacks fell harmlessly short of her and Kris. She did step a bit in front of her magician, putting herself between Kris and their enemy in case one of those blade suddenly became a projectile.

But the resistance to her absorption just made her begin pressing her own power to its limits, as angry as she was. She didn't want to kill the woman, but she was almost too gone in her need to hurt Amamiya for messing with her memories and making her relive that one moment. It wasn't until the absorption moved past heat into Amamiya herself, Akiha getting a feeling in the back of her mind that she only ever encountered while killing SHIKI, that she realized she was starting to take the woman into herself, all of her. If she continued, there would be nothing of Amamiya left.

Akiha stopped cold, her hair instantly returning to black as she forced her anger down, force her demon blood to still. The restraint on Amamiya vanished, as did the sucking in of her existence. If anything, the rebound of Amamiya's 'self' combined with the physical wounds and blood loss, should be overwhelming enough to end this. Otherwise...

She leaned down and picked the sickle and chain up off the floor where it had been dropped and started slowly approaching Amamiya with the sharp blade of the sickle at the ready.

Abyss was pretty drained, no pun intended. She could feel her time running out, between the blood loss and...whatever the hell that other thing was. The spectre of unconsciousness was flickering at the edge of her vision. But she still got up to her feet, looking ready to fight.

But then...

"No!" she grabbed the sides of her head, staggering back, as it fighting with herself. "You can't make me go back! It's not fair, I can still take her!"

You're an idiot, Sakurako said disparagingly in her head as she threw up the Trance blockers and walls to restrict Abyss' control of her body, taking it back. She'll kill us. I'm getting us out of here.

The darker tint faded from her skin, until Amamiya was back in the driver's seat again, wincing at the pain. She immediately darted for the door, putting all her remaining psi - a fountain of blood burst from her nose as she reached her limit - into a burst of Rise to propel herself through it at top speed.
