I would never abandon my family. [Mizetto and Gash]

This was the one thing she hated about Gash, his need to remind her of the past, once upon a time she would have loved to know, having asked many and getting the basics. But Gash knew it all from memory, even things she didn't, like what they apparently once shared. She could understand that this was something he remembered vividly, and how he wished to remind her personally of that, but, she cared not any more, she had a new life, a new family, to the point where she stopped looking for even her brother. Gash was a great friend, but she knew he wished for those days back, and she could not give them to him. Especially now he seemed to take that past in stride, and go back to who he is with the others with a clear purpose this time. Taking a small step back, Ari gave Gash a small smile. "Gash, don't. I understand we had history in our past lives, but it wont be like that with this one. I love Mizetto, and my girls, I wont give them up for anything, you must understand that." Ari didn't want to have this conversation with him, she didn't want to hurt him believe it or not, but she knew she would, if only to get him to stop, to move on. Dropping her shoulders, Ari gave a huff. "The only way you can help, is if you manage to convince Yume to let me go home to my family for a little, its draining being away from them." And it really was, she didn't know how long it had been, but she could count the days  on the fingers and toes on her body, and that really wasn't many.

Mizetto began to trust Ari again every time she left, but not a day later he was worrying again. He'd count the days, and he knew the girls counted too. Each night he heard them mutter to one another about how they worried, or how many days mummy had been gone. It was painful to hear, as was the pain of sleeping alone, staring off into nothing as he thought about Ari. What she was doing, if it was safe enough, and if she'd return soon. She'd never promised an exact day to come back, only saying it would be 'soon'. And after a while, 'soon' was getting close to a month. He wasn't going to take it. Honestly, Mizetto wanted to know she was alright, and for the kids sake, he wanted to go and find her. Drag her back to them, or at least tell the girls some story of how well their mummy was doing, kicking ass and all. So Mizetto planned a trip to leave and find her. To the Taiyo clan, where Angels were kept safe and provided them with a base of operation. Clue and the old men were with the twins, keeping back Terra especially who wanted to come along, and was determined to escape to do so. 
Unlike some, Mizetto planned to get back to them as soon as possible, so they didn't last too long without at least one parent to support them right now. But Mizetto kept his anger under wraps. He and Ari had made up the last times, and Mizetto didn't want to be irritated every time he saw his one and only. Baransu was a town familiar to Mizetto, only thanks to the Mun clan. So finding the Taiyo clan was a little tough, especially getting through the Human streets without being discovered, as a lot of the thug-life here knew of the blonde Demon boy who used to beat them up each visit to the city. 
Keeping quiet and on the outskirts of town, Mizetto eventually made it into the peaceful and safe district of the clan. The place was so quiet, and it honestly looked like a piece of Aura cut out and placed in Sohul. No wonder Angels liked it. Looking around only a little, Mizetto headed to the Temple, hoping Ari was inside and ready to be whisked off, since Mizetto didn't care for the consequences he'd face for taking her. He felt like he was being a good partner, giving Ari a physical reason to leave, and he walked with a slight smile on. The smile smashed into pieces at the sight Mizetto met, the guy wrapping himself around Ari. She looked to be fighting it, and after hearing what the man said, Mizetto fists clenched. They'd soon feel the ground shake around them, cracks in the earth forming around Mizetto in a circle of overflowing anger. "Get the fuck off her, now." The Demon growled, summoning some of the earth to his side, floating around Mizetto in the old Iwa magic fashion. Once he had their attention, Mizetto couldn't help but glance to Ari, a bit of hurt mixed into his burning golden eyes. "Ari what... what is this?" He had to ask, distracting himself for a moment from the sick creep standing next to her, whom Mizetto was ready to turn into Angel pulp. 

There was nothing good Mizetto could gather from this situation. Ari was letting the creep hug her, but he didn't look like a complete stranger to her either. The ground slowly began to stop shaking, but Mizetto still kept the pieces of rock floating around him nice and sharp and ready. Mizetto was growling quietly to himself, his mind beginning to build up to the belief of betrayal. Ari had been gone for months at a time, and here she was being hugged by someone Mizetto didn't know. Who was there to say that this wasn't the reason Ari stayed away so long. Mizetto's throat clamped up a bit, finding it hard, and horrible to believe that Ari would do that to him, to the girls. He calmed his breathing down, though his knuckles remained white as his hands were clenched. "Well you weren't trying very hard." Mizetto muttered bitterly, glaring from Ari to the creep. Ari tried to changes things up, act worried for Mizetto and the kids. The Demon couldn't keep his eyes off the stranger, glancing to Ari with accusation in his gaze. Finally Mizetto answered, stepping a little closer himself. "The girls are fine, they're with the old guys and Clue. And I'm fine... I was fine." Mizetto answered. He thought getting here would be the most threatening thing, but seeing this was even more so. Mizetto lifted a hand silently, sending one of the sharp rocks towards Ari's companion, letting it stop just inches from him. "Now explain things, who the hell is this creep?"

Mizetto hoped he could keep the creep quiet for a little bit whilst he sorted things out with Ari. But the Angel man had other ideas, trying to warm the tepid waters even more as he walked closer to Mizetto. The Demon growled, such a contrast to how this annoying creep announced himself, but Mizetto couldn't help the rising rage. "I didn't ask for the name, creep. I don't give a damn how respected you are, shut the fuck up." Mizetto replied, feeling an itch of hate with every feature of this other man. From his speech to his use of words or his old relation to Ari. The ground shook a little again, Mizetto taking a few of his own steps towards Gash. He didn't have anything on how tall the other one was, but Mizetto wasn't a child, he didn't let differences make him back down anymore. Mizetto huffed, "Yeah we're gonna have a problem, it's called you. Now back off or be crushed." He growled, glancing to Ari. She damn well better no interfere this time, he was close to getting a lot more angry at her as well for all of this. some of the rocks around Mizetto floated in sharper patterns, getting agitated just like the magic user was. "Don't try to play the gentleman, you creep. I can tell exactly what you want with Ari, so stay the hell away from her."

He might be an angry mess, but Mizetto knew a guy's intentions well enough, him being one. But in no world would he be like this creep. Trying to get with someone who didn't want to be with him, or how Mizetto hoped it was. Ari would get Mizetto's grief later, unless she explained her intentions well enough. This wasn't the first time she'd not told Mizetto about someone in her life, and Mizetto was beginning to wonder if it would be the last. How Mizetto wanted to slice a rock throw Gash's throat, cut off that whiny noise now before it made Mizetto drop another realm down. But he needed to prove that he wasn't all violence, perhaps parenthood taught Mizetto that breaking the things that made him angry wasn't the best way. It was the easiest, but nothing was ever easy anymore. "What about the way you treat her? Trying to force someone to love you isn't somethin' a friend does, you creep. You want to make Ari happy? Then stay the fuck away from her, stop tryin' to make her be with you. Askin' her to leave me, and her kids like that? Like you really fuckin' care." Mizetto growled, keeping his eyes solely on Gash. "You want yourself happy, not Ari, like some selfish brat. Why don't you grow up and remember what you are. You ain't Human anymore, this is a new life, you can't just steal back the old one."

He didn't like that fact that Gash had an argument to combat everything Mizetto said, it was just this creep's voice, how he talked about things as if his opinion was the only one that matters, that he kept back-tracking to cover himself, done so perfectly that it was hard to notice. He was a villain playing the nice-guy, and it made Mizetto want to crush the bratty man like a bug. Mizetto snorted, "Says the guy that was embracin' her against her will before I got here. Makes me sick to think what you'd try to do if I didn't turn up." Mizetto grumbled. He tried to amuse himself about how quickly Glacie and Terra would break Gash if he tried to force his way into Ari's, and then their lives. Unless Gash's goal really was just Mizetto's partner, then he was even more sick. Keeping his thoughts on that question he'd yet to ask Ari to himself, Mizetto simply growled. "Like I need to give her some stupid ring to prove that I love her. I trust Ari with everythin', that's why I don't need to give her that to make her mine, it's... it's her choice to be with me or not." Mizetto stated, looking to the ground as he spoke. His words were truthful, but he still felt like they were a little forced. Mizetto shook his head, feeling a loss of what to say. "Then you're insane as well as creepy. Stop lettin' that past life mess up this one, and stop tryin' to destroy somethin' that you have no right to destroy."
