Closeing the door quietly behind him he walked out to where he knew he would find the horsemen. "So how's everyone been?" Michael asked casually. "Well America killed Osama, so pretty decent i suppose" War looked at Death and high-fived him loudly. "But also America is loseing it's economic power and its support from the other countries. Such as China" Conquest said in a well cultured tone. Michael enjoyed listening to them talk, they were around since the dawn of time so petty politics didn't bother them, they spoke what they wanted. But soon, they all erupted in a roar of logic and reason, which Michael had to tell them to quiet down.

Aiko had been nearly asleep when she suddenly heard and roar of voices. And they were coming from Michael's room. Standing up she walked to the adjoining door and opened it. Surprised to see death and all his friends she forced her blush to stay down and not come on her cheeks. She was still in her night gown after all. "Please try to be a bit quieter please. People need to sleep." She said sweetly and then shut the door. Her face turned bright red as she did and quickly retreated back to her bed and under her covers. How embarrassing...

War did a loud cat call whistle. "Hey, knock that shit off" Michael said standing up, War smiled and calmed down, knowing full well he couldn't bully Hatter. There would be a giant fight. War sat back down and looked at Conquest "so when is your LONE squad going to be here?" War asked laughing. "They've been here for at least an hour" Conquest said looking at his watch, and almost as if clockwork a soldier ran up to Michael shouting something about men entering the house. Michael sighed ordering the man to tell him where they were, running down the halls they came to the dinning room. Throwing open he saw 6 men dressed in camo and black carrying various assault rifles and shotguns.

Yuki stood in the room, eyeing the men in camp before Michael hurried inside the room. Waiting to seenAimo enter, but she didn't. Looking at the Hatter the uncle frowned. "Did you not tell her? Can you tell me if you did off so make sure you check in on her after we deal with your little.... Friends." The uncle said and waited for the men to respond.

Alll the men looked confused as the people spoke in Japanese. "Sir might I just mention none of them speak english." Conquest began to speak in Russian. "Soldiers, excellent entry tactics, come with me, I'll fill you in on your job" Conquest completely ignored Yuki. "My apologises, but what horsemen were going to do to help us was already talked about." Michael spoke quickly and structured. "Mine will be here within 3 hours. They're bringing heavy arms" War said and smiled a sick smile.

Yuki nodded and then saighed looking at Michael. "Don't let them wake up Aiko. She's stressed the way it is, getting some sleep might help." The uncle said and then watched as the soldiers followed Conquest with a frown. "I just don't want them stirring up trouble... I'm shocked Aiko didn't kick them out already.... She must prize your help highly to be putting up with this." The male said and shook his head.

She really doesn't have a choice about their pressence. They are primarchs of life. She couldn't remove them if she tried. They'd just come back, or worse "I understand sir" He bowed as was to custom of their culture. "Boys. Time to rest and get ready for the fight up ahead. How long till your soldiers are here War?"
"Sunrise..." War commented.

The night passed by rather smoothly after the soldiers had appeared. Aiko awoke when the customary bell went off. Sitting up she stretched and gave a yawn before doing her usual routine. Starting her shower water to get it warmed the young female then grabbed the outfit and underwear she would wear for the next day and then sighed softly. Taking off her gown and panties she left them on the floor and headed to her vanity and began to comb her hair. She had a feeling that Michael would check in on her, but when he did she didn't know and didn't give it much thought.

"See conquest. Thats an army" War smiled as he had a full battelion in front of him. All of them dressed in full black and tactical gear doing jumping jacks in rows doing battle chants. "I DONT KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD!" The chanted outwards. All of them came fully equipped with firearms and food and such of their own. MIchael was impressed, like completely impressed. "I should probably go check on the Queen" Michael trotted quickly to her room, knocking on the door rapidly.

Aiko heard someone at the door and swiftly grabbed her towel and hurried to the door. Opening it she was surprised to see Michael and her hair and body was completely soaking wet. "Oh come in Michael." She said lightly and opened the door to let him in and stop there, the towel hardly covering her chest or rear. Looking at the pale male with her real eyes the queen had a soft blush on her features. "Good morning." She said lightly, trying to make the situation less awkward. It seemed like they always got themselves into these kinds of situations lately.

"Well good to see you too" He walked in an sat down on her bed. "Just thought id come check on you. And fill you in on what happened." Michael pulled out a small folded peice of paper. "Conquest's squad showed up last night. And we have a full seized battelion working out in the front yard, compliments of War. And you're naked arn't you" Michael said trailing off as he finally realized what was going on in front of him.

Aiko listened to Micheal's updating and then nodded. "I am glad they brought help like they agreed. I will hav ego to thank them before breakfast." She said smoothly and then giggled softly as he looked up again and seemed to just realize she was in jus a bath towel. "You would be correct. And just our of the shower I might add." She said playfully and then swore. "Forgot to turn off the water!" She said and dashed into the bathroom and turned off the shower and peaked out again to look at Michael. "Have you eaten yet?" She asked and then stuck her head back inside and began drying off her body, not bothering to close the door. It wasn't easy to have a conversation through a closed door.

"Well then..." He kept his thoughts to himself. "I havn't eaten. I dont think i need too though. Im good" he resisted the urge to lean and look in on her. Don't do it Michael. Even if she is quite attractive. He looked around the room trying to keep himself attractive "Any reason why you answered me, naked?"

Aiko smirked and then shook her head hearing Michael. "It could have been an emergency. The way you were knocking it almost sounded like it." She said teasingly and then grabbed her lotion and proper on of her freshly shaven legs on the sink counter and began to rub it down. Little did she realize that the mirror in her room that was on her wall could easily reflect her image from the bathroom. "I'm glad it's not an emergency though, and I'm pleased that your friends didn't decide to follow you into my room. That would have been even more embarrassing." She said lightly and laughed as she switched legs and began rubbing that one down with lotion.

"So any particular reason why you're in front of your mirror naked? I can ummm. Kinda see you" He coughed awkwardly looked away, pulling out the book she gave him and began to read it as if he didn't say it. This was one of those moments he wished he had a photographic memory, because that was a moment worth saving to him. But MAYBE if he played his cards right, something would become of them and everything would work out.

Aiko's eyes widened and she swore as he spoke. Blushing fiercely she grabbed her towel and oh it over herself again. She had completely forgotten about the mirror on her wall in her room. Peaking out at Michael she pulled on her bra and panties and sighed. At least the essentials were covered now. "Thanks for the warning." She said lightly even while her cheeks were still pink. Looking at the intracet tattoo on her back she looked at it thoughtfully in the mirror before sighing. She always wondered what it would be like to have a mark free back like most girls. She could hardly remember life without the inracet tattoo. "We'll I guess your morning is going well with the talk and apparent show in given you." She teased lightly as she began pulling on her dress.

"Oh I'm not complaining at all" he laughed softly to himself. He wished he had more of that but maybe some other time. He laid back on her bed with the book and read it trying to pretend he didn't enjoy that. He heard a voice in his head "Michael. The time has come. I need to show you how to store the souls you capture. When you can" Death said. Michael felt a bit stimulated and worried at the same time...

Aiko chuckled and finished pulling on the short purple kimono dress and stepped out in her outfit. Smiling at Michael she then walked to her vanity and pulled her brush through her long hair. "So I'm going to head to breakfast, and then I'm going to go thank the boys for bringing in their soldiers.... You can join me if you want, and I can meet up with you later too." She offered and then attached her dagger sheath to her upper thigh, nearly showing off again infront of Michael.

Michael nodded and looked at the queen. "I think i'll go talk starategy with the horsemen" He said releaving himself and walking out the front door. He was meet by a young girl, probably no older then 16, she wore a simple black t-shirt and jeans. She had a case with her, it was large enough it could hold anything inside of the case. "Mr. Michael. I am Death's associate Grim." the young girl handed Hatter a card, it was a black palm with a skull in the middle.
"So you're the grim reaper I take it"

Aiko nodded and smiled at the hatter, though she had wanted him to come to breakfast she knew he would have something better to do. Walking out of the room in her knee high boots, the queen ignored the young girl infront of Michael and walked on. Arriving at her small dining room she sat down and began to eat by herself. Like she did most every morning. Glancing to the door every so often she expected her mother to walk through the door, but remembering the woman had taken her own life left the raven haired woman feeling cold.

"I'll be here to assist you and Death. Anything you need just ask. But my specialties protain only to the battlefield so don't expect me to clean your room" Grim said as she walked out onto the front lawn with Michael. "Death expressed his utmost concerns about your safety and the princess, he also informed me about your contract with him. My priorities will be to take down HVT's, snipers, and anyone presenting danger to her and you." MIchael had a sincerly confused face. "What?" "HVT's, High Valued Targets. Ya' know, people that are important. I shoot them" Grim sat down on the grass, opened her case, and began to assemble her rifle.

Aiko smiled as she felt her uncle's presence. He was beaming and he was never a morning person. Yuki smirked as his niece gave him a questioning look and then he chuckled. "You know when I said my wife would try to make it for the war?" He said and then the doors opened. In walked a very tall woman, her skin was pure white and black that looked like tattoos that covered her entire body. Her long white hair looked like an essence as she walked and her eyes were a shocking orange without a pupil. Standing suddenly Aiko's eyes were wide. The woman wore knee high leather boots, a shirt barely covering her red bra that was black and very short red leather shorts. Her uncle smiled and kissed her cheek, making a soft pink enter those perfectly white cheeks. They stood exactly the same height. "Aunt Zeelith, it's wonderful to meet you." She said and smiled. The odd mutant chuckled. "Yes it's my pleasure to help take care of your little war problem. It's nice to flex the powers now and again." She said and then Siko noticed that her one hand was a massive black razor claw. "I also came to see Yuki again. It's been three years." She said softly and rested her head against his. Smiling softly seeing her uncle so happy the queen nodded. "I am going to check on our other guests. I'm sure Yuki can take care of you." Aiko said lightly and bid them farewell as she headed to the court yard to find Michael.

Michael shouldered up an assault rifle, he breathed in quietly and let off a burst of rounds. Aiming at a fake body that death had conjured up. He held the rifle, it was a german assault rifle. Hatter never really cared for assault rifles, he always needed his spare hand for a sword or his scythe. "Here. I know machine pistols are more your style" War handed him a gun called the Glock 18 combat aka G18c. Michael held it and squeezed off a series of rounds. "Ill take it" War handed him the gun back and a few magazines and a bulletproof vest. "Thanks War." He looked more paramilitary then ever. Looking over his shoulder, Michael caught a glimpse of Death going rigid. Approaching him he asked what troubled him.
"Something, unnatural has arrived.... I'll be back" And with that Death disappeared from sight with his veil he carried on his person. He walked in the door after Aiko had come out before the door could shut. Death wandered looking for his mark, he had no mean to kill, just to watch. Finally finding his place he followed Yuki and his wife. He knew of the wife, but he had never obeserved. Watching her snow white skin and bladed hand he knew something was wrong, something was natural about her.

Aiko smirked seeing all the soldiers and then watched the Hatter shoot. Walking up to them she nodded to death and war. "Morning gentlemen thank you for bringing your men. It is greatly appreciated." She said and then noticed Death's rigidness. Realizing a most probable reason she smiled. "My Aunt has come back home for the first time in three years. She is the most powerful person I have met in my entire life, except for maybe you boys." She said lightly and smiled. "Would you like to meet her?" She offered lightly.

"Well. I think Death already went to go find her... I don't think he much cares for the strange" Conquest said. Michael gave him a funny look. "I suppose that wouldn't hurt." Michael felt off, like something wasn't right putting the auto-pistol in its holster across his tailbone he jestured to the queen to lead them. They all followed, War putting his vest on and loading his combat shotgun and checking his knife along with Conquest who readied his obviously expensive revolver. Pestilence wanted no part in this, he spent his time concocting poisons and gas for use as biological weapons against the enemy.
