Grave News (Yama/Rabirria/Shizu)

[Ken Shirogane]

He kept his footing, looking into the eyes of the mad woman, sliding one hand down to grip her throat, and pulling the other hand back. And then she would start to feel it, the molten metal of his hand on her throat trying to burn her, resisting her cold, and dripping off his hand to gradually form a choker around her neck, like a brand attempting to mark her.

"I love you." And then he swung right for her face with the hand he pulled back, flames wreathed his fist, trying to burn regardless of if she tried to suck the energy out of him. He didn't care about conserving his energy. He didn't hold back or conserve anything. He didn't know or care how long he could last in her grip if he had the power to resist for longer than a minute, but he didn't bother trying to get away.

"I love you." And then swinging again. "I love you..." And again. "I LOVE YOU!" And then he started shouting it without embarrassment or reservation. He'd push her as hard and as fast as he could, screaming his love for her all the while.

He didn't even know what he was angry about right now, reason faded from his mind, but the words continued to leave his lips. He just fed that anger to his molten metal and the flames they produced. He'd strike her with the burning passion of his fists, he'd make her feel his love even if it meant hurting her at this moment.

Each impact cracked against the ghoul’s Hierro, like a hammer striking an anvil. Her cold skin sizzled from the heat. Something caved in and her already monstrous visage deformed further. Most creatures would’ve been unconscious, or dead, after just a couple of those hits.

But she didn’t stop...

Even with the grievous injuries building up, the ghastly woman kept moving. After a dozen punches or so, her upper mouth snapped like a bear trap. She bit onto the incoming hand, swallowing it all the way up to the wrist. Her sharp teeth threatened to pierce through the metal defenses. Greedily, she drank the scorching energy. The Vampire’s Kiss would’ve left a weaker creature as dry as a prune in mere moments.

Even while one mouth was full, the monstrous maiden could still speak with the other one. “I love you too, darling...” Returning the loving gesture, she wrapped her large, left claw around his throat... And squeezed. All those years as a monster had twisted her love into something violent and awful.

The glint of gold was like a twinkling star in the night sky. Of course, the lovestruck stargazer took note. “Ah... Found you...!” Her feet pressed against the air, as she climbed the invisible steps upwards. With her newfound strength, she could easily drag the bigger biker along. Uno, dos...

And she was gone without a tres.

A heartbeat later, the tell-tale boom of a Sonído split the air behind the idle jester. “No escape, homewrecker...!” By comparison, though, the gloomy goth was positively sluggish in her supernatural steps. Nevertheless, she relied on the sheer surprise factor and swiped her right claw at the love rival, trying to grab her by the neck.

“Let us all die together...!”

As Rabirria watched Yama finally throw a punch she wanted to cheer but managed to restrain herself.  However she was having an even harder time making out what they were saying.

'Man, kinda wish I had some popcorn.' Rabirria lamented in her head.  Ah well she'd just have to maintain this position and enjoy the show and damn she was sure it was a good thing most relationships were like this but this was sure as hell a lot more entertaining.  Now if only she weren't involved in this. 

"Oooh...ouch."  Rabirria said quietly as she saw Shizu bite down on Yama's fist, but it was armored he was...probably fine?  Shizu had turned her gaze though and was walking up through the air, dragging Yama along, he could break free of that right?  Yeah he totally could. 

'Wait.'

Shizu Sonido'd and Rabbiria had a funny unfortunate feeling she knew exactly where the goth was going.  Unfortunately for Shizu, Rabirria was a lot more combat savvy than she looked...even if it wasn't exactly by choice.  Growing up if she didn't cotton on to the rhythm of a foe fast, surprise attack or not, she wasn't going to avoid getting hurt, and Shizu's rhythm was anything but a surprise.  Rabirria could feel that awful, intense spine chilling sensation grow stronger as the arrancar appeared behind her.  "Homewrecker?  That's a new one."  On sheer reflex she ducked into a tight crouch while both arms crossed her stomach to point all ten fingers directly behind her, pink light forming at each fingertip.  There was no time to charge Cero before Shizu would lash out at her again but...

Bala Blast a technique with a definitely serious name, involved charging and releasing a bala from each finger for an extremely devastating close range attack and they charged so much faster than cero, the ten orbs shooting out and aimed at Shizu's feet...if she still had those under that gown.  Ten explosions would go off near simultaneously, combining into one gigantic shockwave that was going to potentially blast Shizu back but most importantly blast Rabirria forwards the arrancar finally making an offensive move that also gave her more distance propelling her up and forwards, twisting through the air.

Even if Shizu didn't get blasted backwards by it it still gave Rabirria that out but...it did hurt, that was ten bala going off directly behind Rabirria too, the explosions slamming into her own body. Her hierro was tough sure but she couldn't reinforce the entirety of her backside she just had to grit her gilded teeth through it as she was sent flying into the graveyard, at least the damage would probably be less than whatever Shizu had been about to do!

Although it didn't help when her leg clipped a tombstone and she went flipping and tumbling across the ground to slide to a stop.

[Ken Shirogane]

Indeed Yama's strength had grown in many ways. His Riatsu as well had expanded significantly and was only growing stronger with each passing day. He grunted when she bit down on his wrist, and if not for the molten metal wrapping his arms she probably would have bitten right through it. But while the top layer was liquid, there was a layer below it that protected his soft human flesh. If not for its Hierro-like durability of that metal who could say if he would have kept his hand or not?

But he didn't bother trying to pull his hand free, instead, he flooded her mouth with that molten metal, then cooled it in her mouth, sitting like a hammer made of Hierro. As strong as her bite was, she would suddenly have more than just his wrist to bite through. And it would also serve to cut off her suction, at least for her top mouth as he plugged it with that incredibly durable metal.

He pulled his other hand back while the other stayed in her mouth, about to let loose another punch when he realized why much of this was pissing him off. That was also the moment when she used her Sonido and brought Yama along with her.

"How can you say you love me, when you won't trust me!?" He shouted then brought his fist down against her face like a hammer, putting even more force behind it than when he'd been simply punching her. Hammer blows. Even if it was with his left hand, he was nearly as proficient at delivering destruction with it as he was with his right. And wrapped in hard molten metal that force was only multiplied.

"It's because of that fucking man, the one that stole your heart, the one you loved who betrayed you! But I'm not him, I'm not that man!" He snarled with all the hatred his soul could muster. The blackness in his flames coiled all the more fervently as he fed that hatred to them.

He brought another hammer fist down. "Stop comparing me to him, stop thinking about him when you look at me! See me for what I am! Love me for what I am and not what you THINK I AM!" He roared out the last few words even as he continued to strike her. "I love you, and I hate that you don't trust me!"

He'd always known that Shizu was obsessive and jealous. He could handle that. He could handle her bouts of insanity. He didn't mind that she watched him sleep at night. He didn't mind when she ate straight from a can by hand. He didn't mind when she did weird quirky things.

But he hated that she might be thinking of that man every time she looked at him. It was clear she was, she had said it clear enough through her insanity though he'd only realized it moments later. "I will not be betrayed again" That was what she had said. And as far as he knew that man was the only one to truly betray her. Betray her to the point of putting a literal knife in her back.

How could she compare him to that man? How could she question him and his loyalty to her when he'd never done anything to betray her like that? Even now as he hurt her, attacked her, smashed her, he had no intention of killing her.

He'd truly rather die than remove Shizu from this world.

Conflicting words trashed around inside Shizu’s skull. Lies, all of them. How dare this man spout such filth, when it was him who stole and broke her heart?! This man who... Who... Wait... Who was this man...? What did his face look like? No, shut up! All this shouting made it so hard to think! It felt like her head was going to explode...

BOOM!

A gigantic shockwave swallowed the grim monster. Her Hierro was torn through like wet paper. She had legs underneath the pretend dress. ...Emphasis on ‘had’. Now they were here, there and a little bit everywhere.

Where the jester was launched forwards, the goth was hurled backwards just as violently. With no leg(s) to stand on, she plummeted to the cold, hard ground. Tumbling wildly, she mowed down several small tombstones, before finally crashing face first into a large one. The impact was accompanied by a painful crack.

Somewhere along the way, the horrible ghoul had lost her grip and bite on the biker. Getting exploded tended to do that. She was slumped against the tombstone, limp and lifeless. Nasty burns and bruises marred her pale form. The broken stumps dripped red onto the dirt.

Eerie silence fell upon the graveyard...

Yama sounded pretty pissed, at least he did based on what she heard him shouting before the thunderous detonation of ten bala all combining into essentially one super explosion sent her ears ringing.  Honestly she could get it, even if she wasn't sure she'd ever be able to care enough personally to get that mad about it.  If he was actually invested in being a partner with Shizu her strange madness must seem quite the obstacle, unlike Rabirria who kind of just entertained it because it was cute and interesting without any really serious feelings.

Well she certainly felt something serious right now, a groans lowly coming from those gold painted jaws as she slowly pushed herself up to her feet, and then arched her back cracking it audibly.  "Ohhhh that's gonna be a nasty bruise in a few hours..."  At least her hierro had held up as expected the arrancar slowly turning around to survey the damage.  Behind her that long pink coat had been tattered and torn up, ragged spikes of silk draped across her back. 

"Let's see...Shizu's boy toy is over there...hmmm."  She squinted, she didn't see a twin around, so he was probably still alive, didn't seem dead at any rate, but as for Shizu.  "Ooooh, damn I'd thought her hierro would do a little bit more than that yeesh."  Sure Rabirria's skills with bala blasting were a cut above but it seemed even she could fail to understand how powerful ten 'mini-ceros' going off all at once in the same general area could be. 

With a brief flicker Rabirria vanished from where she was standing and reappeared squatting, arms resting on her knees, hands clasped between them.  She was a good...two meters away from Shizu, close enough to try and see if she was alive, but not toooo close, just in case.  "Hey...you doing okay girl?"

[Ken Shirogane]

Yama had suffered pretty extensive exhaustion at this point. However in the end it might have been Rabbiria who damaged him more than Shizu. Not that he blamed the other woman for defending herself while Shizu was in such a frenzy.

Even so, he felt drained, and his body ached from the immense effort of just surviving the fight and slamming Shizu. Grunting as he hit the ground when Shizu released her grip on him.

He wasn't sure the fight was over, but he could no longer sustain his Fullbring. Which faded from his arms, leaving just the bike chain wrapped around his fist. His clothes were torn from the Bala Blast, and he was all scratched up from the graveyard tumble.

But despite his poor state he managed to get on his belly and started a slow crawl in Shizu's direction. Panting like a dog after running miles.

He could see Rabirria standing near Shizu, but his attention remained mostly on Shizu. God that woman. Some days she really made him want to strangle her.

He really wished he had a way to get into her head, to see what was rattling around in there, and maybe try to fix some of it. Assuming it could anyway. Shizu was probably the most messed up and broken Arrancar Yama had met so far. Not that Yama had met many yet, but compared to the few he had met, Shizu was just so unstable.

"Is she okay?" He eventually asked when he'd crawled close enough to think that Rabirria could actually hear him, resting on his knees and elbows.

To Rabirria's prior thought, Yama truly was invested in Shizu. He'd gotten with her because he'd been interested in her, and found her personality and desires adorable. Her strength complimented his own, she was like an icy arrow, and he was a flaming fist. Put it in simple terms anyway.

But as time went on he found himself more and more drawn to the mad woman. He didn't care what she looked like, an attractive woman, a gaping maw of a monster, his desire for her transcended those physical states. He liked her in both forms, admittedly, but she could have been a glowing ball of energy with no physical form and he still would have said he loved her.

But today put a damper on his desire. How was he even supposed to handle situations like this? Where she had so quickly reached a point of frenzy and he was forced to strike her, to help Rabirria beat her down in the hope it would weaken her to a more useful state.

He could have helped destroy Rabirria instead, that might have ended the situation a bit more quickly, but as much as he loved Shizu he despised the thought of betraying Rabirria like that even more than he hated himself in that moment for striking Shizu. Rabirria had only intended to be helpful in some way, and she had said she was a friend of Shizu's.

While part of him wanted to be entirely loyal to Shizu, he could not forgo his desires in favor of hers at every moment. He was who he was, and she had to love him for who he was, not what she wanted him to be.

The same should be said for him loving Shizu, but it was hard to love a woman who was so inconsistent. It was hard to love a woman willing to kill her friends while having some sort of mental breakdown.

Damn it, he just wanted to help her. But was that even possible? Was there even anything he could do? To him it seemed like this scenario just highlighted the fact that outside of a fight he was powerless. He could fight against Shizu, he could fight against the world, but her madness was not a physical force he could exert his strength and will against.

So what could he really do?

Drifting into the black nothingness, Shizu found herself in the most beautiful dream. She was sinking beneath the surface of an inky, black lake. Up above, the starless sky seemed so distant. Familiar coldness filled her soul. She remembered this feeling...

She had died again.

However, someone, something, was standing above the surface, glaring down at the ghoul. The horrific monster felt awfully familiar, like a reflection in a broken mirror. “Gah, we nearly had them, but then you had to start resisting.” Twin maws growled in unison. White tentacles squirmed with frustration. “We had a thousand opportunities to devour that human, yet you refused. Why?”

Shizu prodded her fingers... Oh, no... her long claws together shyly. “Oh, um, er...” She didn’t know where to even start stumbling over her words. “T-the m-mood did not feel r-right... A-and m-my heart is not ready a-a-and...”

Beneath the veil, the monster’s eye twitched with growing anger. “Now you start being coy? We do not even have a heart!” It swept its monstrous claws at nothing in particular. “You could have at least caught that annoying rabbit. Speed means nothing if you freeze her solid.”

Again, the gloomy goth hesitated. She had to admit that the thought had crossed her mind, on several occasions, but... “Ah, w-well... Y-you see... I w-would love to eat her and m-maybe have her eat me, b-but I am not sure i-if she feels the same way, s-so...”

The monster gawked in disbelief. “...What does that even mean?!” It shook its head furiously. “Tch, no matter. We will rise again, as always. And once we do, we will-”

Suddenly, Shizu sensed a surge of strength. Of defiance. She latched onto the feeling. “N-no...”

It was not well-received. “What... pray tell... do you mean by ‘no’? Since when have you been the one in control?”

Stubbornly, the gloomy goth clutched onto the rare sensation. It was important, she knew. “I-I mean, I do not want to... hurt my f-friends... There must be a-another way...”

The monster shook its head, unsure whether to shout or laugh. “Friends? Is that what you think? That was the man out there who betrayed you. Who murdered you. Who ran off with this harlequin harlot.”

Shizu recoiled, nearly losing her nerve. “N-no, that was s-someone else...! I think...” Admittedly, her memories were foggy.

“Do you even remember what he looked like?”

“...”

The gloomy goth averted her gaze, glancing down. She found a gaping hole in her chest, far larger than she recalled. Far sharper too. Without a word, she plunged her claws into it and gripped something.

As everything started fading away, the monster’s last, haunting words ran through the Arrancar’s mind. “Hmph, suit yourself... But you cannot keep running forever. I will always be a part of you.”

Back in reality, the ghastly woman suddenly twitched. White mist poured from her maws, as she rapidly shrank to her original size. The monstrous additions vanished, the gaping chest closed and the white look changed back to the dark dress. Finally, the mist gathered into a small, black blade, gripped tightly in her hand.

Once the reverse transformation was over, the girl’s head turned around with a slow, deliberate crack. Beneath the veil, the gleaming eyes tried to focus on the jester. A raspy voice crawled from the depths of her throat, asking a haunting question. “Wha happun...?” ...Okay, maybe it wasn’t all that haunting.

Shizu rolled over flopping onto her back. She stared at the silver moon. “I had the most beautiful dream where I died...” The comment was accompanied by a wistful sigh. Waking up always tasted a little bitter.

Was the strange, gloomy girl actually dead?  Rabirria stared at her intently waiting for a sign, still and waiting to spring into motion the moment it was revealed as a trap and...she twitched!  Rabirria's body flinched ready to move but...that mist and the way Shizu's body was warping.  No this wasn't a trap or attack and as Shizu reverted to her normal lovely self, she asked a very funny question. 

The jester opened those golden jaws and let out a long, slow sigh, before calling back to Yama.  "Yeah I think she'll be fine."  Then she stood up and walked over to Shizu, up to the girl's left where Rabirria would twirl and then sit down right next to her.  The grave didn't have enough space, but miraculously the air formed itself into a perfect cushion, like a luxurious chair for Rabirria to rest against as she put an arm around Shizu's shoulders to give her a soft squeeze.

"Girliepop, you had what we in the business like to call, a little bit of an episode."

[Ken Shirogane]

Yama sighed with relief hearing that Shizu was fine. He lay there thinking to himself mostly, wondering if there was anything he could do if something like this were to happen again. This wasn't even what they had come here for. At least it seemed like Rabirria was in good shape, she didn't even sound exhausted.

"I'd really like it if something like this didn't happen again." He noted mostly to himself as he lay on the ground where he was, enjoying the coolness of the grave grounds after the intense battle. But he doubted that something like this could be avoided.

And as much as this whole scenario annoyed him he wasn't going to abandon Shizu for it. He just wished he could understand what was going on in that crazy girl's head. He wanted to help but didn't even know where to begin. Or if assisting her was even possible. He'd accept her regardless, but admittedly it would be much more convenient for everyone if she was a little more stable. As much as he loved her, how could he defend her if she ever went on a rampage through the city one day? There was a line, although murky, where he would no longer be able to stand by her side, and he didn't want to ever reach that point.

A bright pink blush flared across Shizu’s pale features the instant her friend joined her side. Two souls sharing the same final resting place? “R-romantic...” She mumbled, breathing rather heavily. Her empty chest felt full for a moment.

However, the realization hit the gloomy goth quickly enough. A little bit of an episode? “A-again...?” Her head drooped. The blush died, replaced by a bluish tint of bitter shame. “Oh dear...” She thought she had been doing a good job controlling herself, but once again she had slipped.

The ghastly woman’s shoulders heaved with a weary sigh. “Sometimes, I dream of the graveyard where I first died...” Her empty eyes stared somewhere beyond the horizon. “...And I wake to find myself upon it.” Her haunted, forlorn words were left lingering in the air.

Soon, Shizu continued musing idly. “It keeps happening. I find a nice boy, I court them and then... F-for some reason I start dreaming again. When I come to, all that is left of them is a small memento, if even that...” She lifted the small blade, turning it in moonlight. It was the first memento she had kept.

The creepy girl’s eyes sought her darling biker. “M-me too... I... I am sorry... So very sorry...” She seemed to shrink a little beneath the weight of sheer shame. “If only I could figure out what t-triggers it...” The naive monster was blissfully oblivious to what was probably obvious to others. Jealousy was blind and so was she.

After a brief pause, the ghoul glanced down. She blinked at the sight of scorched stumps sticking from beneath her tattered dress. “...H-has anyone seen a loose pair of legs? I seem to have... misplaced mine...” She sounded awfully nonchalant about the gruesome injury.

Man this had all turned out great.  Apparently when this happened Shizu usually just devoured whoever she was courting!  Yet instead her lover was alive and so was her best friend.  Honestly it really was funny.  Once again running away had solved all of Rabirria's problems.  "Well on the bright side we now know what happens when you 'start dreaming' and can guess what happened to all those previous boy toys of yours!" 

Rabirria's voice was far too cheerful given what she was about to say.  "You got jealous and tried, and probably succeeded, to eat them!"  She'd give Shizu a squeeze with that arm around her shoulders.  "Fortunately I was here and I helped keep you from making an unfortunate mistake.  Downside, seeing me is probably what triggered it?  Like goodness Shizu I've been called a lot of things but I've never been called a homewrecker!  I'm honestly kind of hurt you'd accuse me of that sort of thing."

She really wasn't, the entire romance thing was frankly something she didn't think she'd ever understand so being called that was just funny.  She didn't actually see why she'd want to steal someone's man, or their woman, and Yama?  Yeah not her type.  Now...how was Shizu going to react to words like that?  In a situation like this Rabirria wanted to test the boundaries, she was pretty confident that even if Shizu went off again the girl was too weak to put up much of a fight.

[Ken Shirogane]

Rabirria certainly was an interesting person. Hearing her speak with Shizu, it seemed like she was also a little twisted, but not in a way that Yama could see any harm developing from it. She just seemed to get amusement from things that no one else would even consider. She was also as blunt or even more blunt than he was in his opinion. He'd never cared to sugarcoat the truth, but he'd rarely found amusement in delivering grave news, while Rabirria almost seemed to relish in it. The fact that Shizu likely consumed all her previous love interests.

"I see, so this is probably going to happen again." He sighed rolling onto his back to look up at a muggy night sky.

"I'm not sure there is any way to prevent this sort of thing from happening if Shizu's going to start a hunt whenever she gets overly suspicious that I'm spending time romantically with another woman." He crossed his arms considering. "On one hand, I knew I would be dating a crazy woman from the start. The danger was part of the appeal. I didn't mind having a shark at my heel." He chuckled at the thought. "Shizu is loyal and affectionate. I enjoy those aspects of her. I also think she's beautiful." Not that many others would see the appeal probably. She was curvy but cold. But Yama kind of liked that too.

"What's annoying to me is getting others involved, and Shizu having some sort of schizo episode. I have no idea how much of what she said is something she actually thinks or means while she's on a rampage either. If she just wanted to eat me, I could accept that and just fight her. I still would not kill her, but I could accept it as just being something that would happen occasionally." He huffed, his breath steaming up into the air. "But the fact that she goes mad and loses sense of herself, it's like I'm not even fighting Shizu, it's like I'm fighting someone else wearing Shizu's skin screaming gibberish at me." He growled. "I like a good fight, but I hate that it's not a decision Shizu is making herself."

The mild inconvenience of losing legs had to make way for the immense social agony. Shizu recoiled in horror, when her blunt sledgehammer of a friend slammed her with some cold, hard facts. “I a-a-a-ate them?!” She stammered, outright shocked by the revelation. Granted, she often thought that some cute people looked good enough to eat, b-but... Well, she was not the sharpest light bulb in the crayon box.

As the jester kept piling on the teasing, the gloomy goth’s head drooped. “S-sorry... I-I am s-so sorry...” An aura of depression engulfed her. A vivid imagination could almost see a sad little cloud raining down on her. Shame weighed like a ton of stones in her stomach.

By the end of the barrage, the grim girl was sobbing. She buried her face in her large sleeves. “I-I... I am not... c-crazy... A-am n-not...” She protested weakly. Hearing that even her darling boyfriend considered her crazy and dangerous cut deep into her soul. It hurt far more than any punch, burn or blast.

Crazy... Danger... Shark...

Schizo... Rampage... Mad...

I... hate... Shizu...

The most impactful words echoed inside the wounded woman’s skull. Finally, the dam broke. Tears flowed freely, as she bawled loudly and hopelessly.

In stark contrast to the mental wounds, the creepy ghoul’s physical injuries were already healing. Scorched skin was shedding the layer of soot. Pale flesh stubbornly sprouted from the stumps. Even her clothing was knitting itself back together, as if fixed by an unseen seamstress. In a couple more minutes, she would be back on her feet again.

...Er, if she managed to stop crying by then.

Rabirria knew in a sense that what she was doing could be considered cruel by a few people.  Hell that was the point, to see if Shizu would always react the way she had earlier or if there was any hope of being able to interact with her without her going into a jealous rampage.  However, hers was a...tactical cruelty, she kept things limited and threw in a joke but Shizu's boyfriend?

As he started talking...and then kept talking Rabirria found herself staring at him, painted jaws parting slightly and just...staying parted as he just kept going and going.  She knew he didn't really have a grasp of brevity before but...

"Bro.  You good?"  There was a difference between someone who didn't care about social functions and someone who didn't know about them.  Rabirria understood that certain things could hurt someone and that if she wanted to keep hanging with them she should try to avoid doing those things.  She understood the guy might need to vent after what happened but there was a time and a place to vent!

Wasn't the romantic thing to do to like reassure her or something and worry about this later?  Then again...most people were a lot more concerned about nearly dying than she was.  Granted she obviously preferred to not die but...it really wasn't that big of a deal to her, perhaps she was failing to grasp the severity from his perspective, either way it didn't seem like something that would actually help anyone right now.

'God why are people so interested in relationship drama I can already feel a headache coming on.'

The urge to leave was stronger than it had been this entire time so far, she did not do this kind of thing well at all buuuut...Shizu was still pretty cool and honestly?  Rabirria was interested now so...she'd move an arm around Shizu's shoulders to try and give her a comforting squeeze.

That was the sort of thing you did at a time like this right?
