Katina had set it up. She had done it on purpose. And to think, Akiha has begun to go off on Subaru about her intrusion and her accusations. They'd both been played by Katina, and Akiha hated feeling like a victim.

She'll pay. I'll tear her throat out and drink deep of her blood. Take away the chance for the other woman to get a final piece of her. Even in death she can be min--

No, no, no, no... Akiha clenched her left hand hard, purposefully cutting into her own skin with her talon-like nails. She was angry, yes, but she would not give into her inversion impulse. Oh, it was strong, so strong, having been invading her dreams, but she was the master of herself. Her will was too strong and she refused to give into it, no matter how wonderful it sounded to just rend Katina from limb to limb.

Perhaps it was a good thing Subaru hadn't finished her last sentence and revealed that Katina had taken her virginity, because the blonde had also taken Akiha's. The half-demon might have had a harder time controlling her killer desires then. She had to close it all off, become cold to it all or she would lose the precarious control she had.

Blood seeped between her fingers to drip slowly onto the ground from where her hand hung at her side as she purposefully closed the distance between her and Katina. Her voice was cold as ice when she spoke.

"Your false tears mean nothing to me. Your message has been received loud and clear." Her right hand came up, fingers curved ready to slash the woman with those nails, but her hair instantly went black as she forced control over herself. Her hand descended to slap Katina across the face with all of her inhuman strength.

"You are a coward," she said, and it was then that a single tear escaped Akiha's restraint to slip down her cheek. "Get off my property."
