Ace sobbed into his fathers chest. "Dad..... Don't make me go back!!!" The tears kept comming. Ace had always been gentle, he had always been kind. "I don't want to be a demon anymore!!!!" His blood ran and mixed with his tears. His body was bruised and his clothes torn.

"I won't, I won't...don't worry, Ace. I'm never, NEVER, going to send you back there again, and neither is your mother. Sshhh...it's okay, I'm here for you, Ace." He murmured soothingly, hugging his son close, then kicking the bag into the nearby river, and watching it float away.
Kineta reached home, and held her head high. Every inch of her had blood or bruises on it, but she still sat outside. She opened the door, and saw her mother. "NEVER make Ace go back to school!"

Kikoto looked up and droped the book she was reading, then ran over to Kineta. "What happened?!" She looked at Kineta, then sat her down on a chair and ran to get her clean clothes. "Change, i'm taking you to see Trio." She watched her daughter change, then she picked her up, even if it hurt, and walked out of the house.
Ace blinked, tears still falling. "They hated me for what Kineta did. They hated me because I had different ears!" He broke away from his father and stood up. "I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!!" He took off at a run away from Seth, away from the village. He leaped over the river and kept running, away, always away.

Seth stood, and bolted after Ace, catching up, then taking hold of his shoulder gently. "Ace, listen...we're never going to take you back there. We are NEVER going to let them go near you, ever again. Come home, Ace...you need help for your face." He managed to make Ace stop, then took him in his arms and hugged him close. "We love you, Ace."
Kineta bit her lip hard not to scream with the agony of being carried. "Mom...Ace needs it more than me." She struggled out of her mother's arms, sucking in her breath as she dropped to the ground, and shutting her eyes with the pain, then opening them and looking up at her mother. "I'm the one that hurt him...but I don't know where he is. Maybe Dad does, though..."

Kikoto shook her head. "If you father has Ace, and he is in bad shape, he will have the sense to bring him where we are going, so don't backtalk. Your going." She picked Kineta up again and continued walking.
Ace looked at his father. "I DON'T WANT TO!" He tried to get away from Seth again, but ended up falling into him crying.

Seth kept his arms tight around his son. "I'm here for you, Ace, I always will be. You're my son, and I'm not going to let any of them near you, ever again." He hugged him close, then started leading him back home, his hand tight, yet gently, around his arm. Then he paused, and started heading for Trio's home. Kiko...I have Ace, do you know where Kin is?
Kineta could barely take the pain anymore, and she struggled to stay conscious, then finally passed out in her mother's arms. Before she did, though, she just whispered the words. "Never send Ace back to school."

Kikoto pounded on Trio's door, and walked in when it opened. "Trio... Please help me!" She set Kineta down on the patient bed and looked at her. "Her brother should be comming soon as well." "Ofcorse...." She walked over to Kineta and placed her hands above her, then magicly, she started to heal. Soon she was done, and Trio gave Kikoto a cup of warm tea. Kikoto smiled. "Thanks." I'm at Trio's. Kineta is here with me.
Ace saw Trio's hut ahead and started pulling away. "NO!" He was so confused about what had happened. No one had ever done anything like that to him, not even his oun sister!

Seth soothed him. "It's okay, Ace. It won't hurt anymore." He murmured, then knocked hard on Trio's door, making sure that Ace wouldn't escape into the trees. He waited for the door to open patiently, watching.
Kineta felt her wounds heal, and sat up, swaying dangerously. She had a scar across her right cheekbone just below her eye, down her arm, and so many more that it was hard to count. "Where's...Ace...?" She mumbled, then slid off the table and almost fell over, her legs were so weak.

Trio smiled and walked to the door. "Right here." She opened it seeing him struggling to get away and screaming.
Ace was screaming by now. "NO!!! LET GO! DON'T MAKE ME GO!!!!!" As he was pulled in by Seth he grabbed the door ledge and hung on tight.
Kikoto rose when she saw Ace, and set her tea on the table, staring wide eyed at him. He had five deep cuts on his face, that would scar: Two thick long ones that stretched from the top corners of his face to the bottom ones, making an X, then on his left cheek he had two that were diagonal and on his right cheek there was on, that stretched from the side of his eye down to his chin. He also had many cuts and gashes all over his body.

Kineta froze in shock as she saw what she knew to be her fault. "Oh god, Ace...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." She whispered, then staggered to the side, losing her balance, but catching herself. She moved forward slowly, and helped her father hold Ace while Trio healed him. Then she turned to her mother. "It's my fault." Then she lunged for the door, but lost her balance, and crashed onto the floor, shutting her eyes tight. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Seth gently made Ace sit while he was being healed, looking worriedly at Kikoto. He's totally hysterical. The others at school did this to him, I know they did. His voice was filled with restrained anger. How bad was Kin?

Kikoto shook her head after catching Kineta. "Kin, it isn't your fault." She was worse. Ace should calm down soon. Kikoto was completly wrong. Ace did not calm down, he kept trying to get away, his crying had stopped, but he wanted away so badly.

"It IS my fault." Kineta insisted, then staggered over to Ace, and hugged him. "Ace...calm down, it's not your fault, it's mine." She whispered, holding her brother close, shutting her eyes. "It's okay, Ace..." She tried desperately to calm her twin down.
Worse...? How MUCH worse? Seth asked, not realizing that Kineta had single-handedly taken on almost forty other students, and beaten them all before she had fled into the forest. He made sure that the door was shut tight, so that Ace wouldn't get out just yet.

Ace shook his head. "NO!!! DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK! STOP!!!!" He was with the others in body, but not in mind. His mind was back at the school, reliving the moment when everything had gone bad. It played it over, and over, and over! It never stopped playing it, it just never stopped.
Kikoto was beside Ace, her hand gently stroking his oversized ears. His ears were moving and twitching constantly, and so was he. Kikoto had not seen his eyes sense he got there, they had always been closed. His screaming did not stop. She passed out from pain. But she is alright now, its Ace i'm scared for.

Seth crouched beside Ace, and hugged him close. "We're all here for you, Ace. Shh...calm down..." He murmured softly.
Kineta sighed. She seemed to be aggravating him further. "I'm going home..." She mumbled, and started for the door. She was about to open it when someone caught her shoulder and kept her back.

Trio shook her head. "No. He needs you more then anyone. You didn't do anything, and your not making him act like that." She smiled then turned to her parents and spoke loud enough for them all to hear. "He keeps replaying the horrible moment in his mind, over and over." "So its like a dream?" "Yes, a horrible, horrible dream that he ca not awaken from. He can't hear you, so no matter what you do, he will just keep kicking and screaming."
Ace screamed. "NO! DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK! LEAVE ME ALONE! GET AWAY!!!!"

Kineta took a deep breath, then shot towards her brother, and held him so close, so tight, that he could barely move. "ACE! SNAP OUT OF IT!" She screamed, then decided to try something she never had before: sending mind signals. They were twins, so it might work. Not as clearly as soulmates' messages would, but she would try. ACE! It isn't happening anymore! Wake up!

Ace's eyes did not open, and he was still kicking and screaming. "NO! LET ME GO! GET AWAY! IT HURTS! STOP IT! OW!!!! NO!!! LET ME GO!!! IT HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kikoto couldn't bear to see her son like this, and hugged Seth close, crying into his shoulder slightly.

Seth hugged her close with one arm, wondering what Kineta was doing.
Kineta called up her strength for another attempt. She wished she had learned how to build up a stronger mind, but she used what she had. ACE! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!! IT ISN'T HAPPENING ANYMORE, ME AND MOM AND DAD AND TRIO ARE ALL HERE! SNAP OUT OF IT! She screamed to him with all her strength in her head, hugging him close.

Ace did not snap out of it, he couldn't. He couldn't hear her, he couldn't hear anyone. "STOP! NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!!! IT HURTS!!!!" He continued kicking, unaware that his body was geting tired.
Kikoto knew Kineta was doing something. "Kin.... It isn't working. Come here."

Kineta was exhausted by this time, and she dragged herself over to Kikoto, then dropped to the ground by her feet. "I can't get through to him, Mom..." She whispered, flattening her ears against her head, and pressing her hands over them to block out his screaming.

Kikoto shook her head then looked at Trio. "What will come of him?" "It depends if he can pull himself out of it." "And if he doesn't?" "Then he leads a very horrible life until he dies." Trio shook her head. "I'll take care of him, you guys go home." She smiled and walked to the door.
Kikoto had tears falling from her eyes. She picked Kineta up, and slowly started walking, waiting for Seth.

Kikoto shook her head. "No baby, its not your falt." She was crying hard by now. Soon they were home and she set Kinet in her bed. "Try and sleep tonight Kineta. We will go see him in the morning." She closed her door then walked into the kitchen and then into the room she shared with Seth. She got changed and slipped into the bed, and sat there, her head in her hands, crying.

Seth changed as well, and hugged her close. Ace is strong, Kiko...he'll pull out of it, I know he will.
Kineta lay wide awake in bed, trying to send to Ace. ACE! She screamed, growing more tired with every call. She never got a reply, however, and she finally exhausted herself, collapsing into a deep sleep.

Kikoto hugged Seth close, crying into his chest. Seth! I'm so scared for him! He will never be the same old Ace, even if he does pull out! She cried into his chest, and cried herself to sleep.
Aulii sat at the edge of the river, school had been cancled on acount of what had happened the day before. She sighed and threw small stones into the river.

"It was wrong, Ace is such a sweetie, he couldn't hurt a fly! Why do people have to go and beat on him?"

"I know...Ace is a really nice guy, and I know that he wouldn't throw the stick back in and hit the teacher with it. Though...I think I know who it was. I saw her at the window before she disappeared." He murmured, hugging her close. He remembered too well the blood, the wounds, and look of hate on Kineta's face. He would never forget it, not in a millennia would he be able to forget the screaming battle, the teacher when he came out of the school, then Kineta fleeing into the trees.

Zeki laughed as the fish shot them a glance, then swam away. "How about that!" He teased, then splashed her with water, grinning. He splashed his feet in the water, tossing his boots to the side of the bank, and kicking the cool water, then flopping back on the grass, arms crossed behind his head, but he watched Aulii, smirking.
