"We'll kill them. As long as it just.... ends." She whispered against Jasons neck and was comforted with his arms around her. "I'm sorry Jason." She said and rested her chin on his shoulder, looking past him. "I can't come back with you." She whispered and touched his waist. She didn't let go or pull away, no she didn't want to see his face.

"What? Why?" Jason asked. She'd been exiled, hadn't she? Didn't that mean she was free to go with him? "Tomiko, tell me what's going on."

"Andy watched the two. It was sweet how much they cared about each other, and it would be a shame to see them both torn apart. Jason was even finished with high school, so it wasn't as if he had to go back for that...

Tomiko smiled sadly and clutched him tightly. "Im not saving these people to just... leave them so it can happen again. Ill get my home back and exile my fia... Brother. I can fix all of this. I have my life back. Jason its all I know." She pulled away from Jason and smiled sadly. "When I get my home back... I want you to visit me whenever you can. Stay whenever. I will never want you to leave... But you will be my first call if war breaks out. You know that right?"

"Then I'll stay with you," Jason said firmly. He wasn't going to leave her.

"You'll have to go home at least for a little while," Andy pointed out. "Mom and Dad will kill you if you don't at least tell them you're moving across the world, and I know you own things that won't ship well." She didn't try to talk him out of it, she knew it wouldn't work. He was stubborn when he put his mind to it.

"Jason..." She whispered and frowned, touching his cheek. "You're a dumb lovable idiot! You can't leave your family! You have a nephew. and parents who actually give a damn!" She started cussing in Japanese and groaned. She then grabbed his head and brought him closer to kiss him lightly. "Fine. But you've got to learn to speak my language. English sucks." She said and then sighed. "We go to your house every holiday. And you have to learn to eat floppy bacon if you want American breakfasts!" She said against his lips then kissed him once more.

"Now, take your sister and end this war, then get her back on a plane to her kid and the guy-" She turned to Andy "She has to marry."

"I can cook my own bacon," Jason replied. He almost hesitated when she said that he had to learn her language, but he figured fair was fair. She already knew English, after all.

Andy raised an eyebrow when Tomiko directed the statement at her.

"I'll marry him when I damn well please," she said. "I told you I wanted it on my terms."

Tomiko smiled and nodded. "I'm just saying you should. Not that you better or else." She sighed and looked at Andy's little brother and kissed him, glancing away. There may still be a bunch of men attacking tonight, Jason, with or without the wielders, they are still an army." Tomiko stepped away and opened her suitcase and fingered through outfits. She grabbed a hoodie and knew it was going to be cold tonight. She pulled on jeans and a tee shirt, knowing no one was going out of their way to look at her. She needed to change somewhere and this was HER shack for now. She stood, straightening the hoodie and sighing. "It's going to get cold. Worse than it's been the past few nights. Bundle up." She said and then called water to her and splashed it into a bucket, they'd been depositing buckets inside the doorway. She lifted the bucket and stepped outside. She spoke Japanese to keep the others happy. "I want you all to go and play a mile that way, make sure your children are with you." She then touched the groups shaman. She smiled and bowed her head to him as she took his hand. "The wielders are...." He stopped her with a hand against her lips.

"I would like to remain unknowing." He said and she nodded. "Granted." She said and the man nodded, moving to follow the others. She turned to Jason and Andy. "Go? Please?"

"I'm staying with you," Jason said. He grinned. "Someone needs to make sure you don't collapse again. Andy can take care of herself." He wasn't about to leave Tomiko alone, not when she was in so much danger. He knew his sister would understand, and really, she could take care of herself. He knew that.

"I'm not sending you away from me to protect your sister." She whispered and sighed. "Okay, fine, stay here." She muttered and then sat down and raised her hood. "Touch the water Andy, it needs to know who to protect. For tonight, I'm guessing you won't be putting yourself in too much danger to do the job at hand?" She refused to say anything about killing the men. They were human, she couldn't justify the act with reality. It just was beyond her range of thinking about life.

"Jason... I may love you one day, and I hope that's enough for you to never bring up what's about to happen with me. Ever."

"I can do it from a distance," Andy replied as she touched the water. She was trying not to think about what she had to do. If she thought about it, she'd literally worry herself sick, and they couldn't afford that. Already, she was feeling apprehensive to the point of hyperventilating.

"I can loan you some power if you're gonna get sick." She said and reached out her hand. She looked at Jason and frowned. She sighed and closed her eyes. She touched the water and thought about her protection, the water already gravitating to her. "Not yet, tonight." The water calmed and she rolled her eyes. "Water is like a puppy that needs trained." She was definitely trying to keep from thinking about the dying.

"I'll be okay," Andy replied. Well, eventually. She wasn't sure how okay she would be come morning, but she could guarantee it wouldn't be all that good. She wished that Nathaniel was there so she wouldn't have to handle it alone, but she would have to make do until she could get back home. She could have a breakdown later.

She nodded and then put her hands over the water. "I'm ready for immediate attack." She said and then glanced at her. "It should be ten feet past the rivers edge to the left, if it helps. That's where they stay." She whispered and then closed her eyes, focusing on the river and any surrounding water.

[[That's all I got, sorry again.]]

((Should we skip to afterwards?))

[[Yes?]]

Andy leaned back against the wall heavily and slid down to the floor. All she could think about, through the haze of her power high, was that she'd just killed seven men. And none of them had even seen it coming. She'd been able to slip in and out without anyone noticing, until one of the foot soldiers had stumbled upon her by accident. Everything after that was hazy, because she was so deep into her trance that her outer senses were shut down. She'd been acting purely on instinct. Groaning, she laid her head on her knees and tried to ride out her high and not think about anything.

He had possibly gotten too close to Tomiko.. Shed crashed the water down on the soldiers drowning some, killing them. But she had been seen. One girl, not 100. And she had killed multiple men. They had fallen back but now they knew the truth. She hadnt left the country. She used the water to moisten the earth just enough the adults could bury the bbodies the next morning. She knew the war was basically over, but that didnt stop the high.

"Jason!" She moaned and crawled backwards, going towards the closest tree to lean against it. "Jason... Hnnn!" She understood what Andy meant about the clothes rubbbing against her. They didnt have to have sex before shed cross that brink. "JASON!" She couldnt ride this one out, she needed him there,,, touching her, kissing her... It would all bring her to climax before sex was even necessary.

Jason was by her side in an instant. "I'm right here," he said. Immediately, he could see what was happening, and he was hesitant to touch her the way she wanted him to. It was obvious she wasn't in her right mind, and he was sure she would regret it later.

"Just hold me so Im not entirely embarrassed." She whispered and hoped her will was strong enough to do the task at hand. "Please?" She spread her legs a little so the clothes werent rubbing against her and she blinked wide, sexually wanton eyes at Jason. "Please?" Tomi begged.

"Alright." Settling down next to her, he gathered her into his arms. He could see how much she wanted it, and hell, he was a living, breathing male. But it just didn't feel right, not when she had no control like this.

Tomiko whimpered against him clutching him tightly and rested her face against his neck. Just the scent of his skin, the way he held her and everything moving against her, all adding up with the fact she had never... Finished before tipped her over the edge, and she was embarrassed as she let out a little moan and shook in his arms. She rode it out and it was like she was hungover from her high but wasnt in that sexual mood any longer. Instead she was just wiped out. She closed her eyes, yawned and clutched onto her boyfriend.

Jason just held her as she rode it out. He tried very hard not to think about what was happening, elsewise his self-control would vanish. After what seemed like forever, she finally relaxed in his arms. That was the sign that she'd be alright. Gathering her up, he took her into her little shack and laid her on the cot.

"Get some rest," he said. "You deserve it. I need to go find my sister and make sure she's okay."

Tomiko held onto him as he took her inside. She bit her lip, and frowned looking around with hazy, tired eyes. He hadnt let go or run away or laughed... He just let it happen then carried her inside. He was so amazing.

She slid to the edge of the bed and scooted out of her clothes, the cold chill nipping at her skin and she immediately dug out a fresh set of pyjamas and slid them on and curled back up,, wanting him with her. Where was he, and was Andy alright?

It took Jason a couple minutes of searching to find his sister. He wasn't surprised to find her not moving, but he WAS surprised to find her mostly unresponsive. Shooing away a few children who were trying to get her to move or something, he knelt down next to her.

"Andy?" he asked.

"Don't. Touch. Me," Andy said stiffly. She was about to add that she would murder him in his sleep if he did, but that hit way too close to home, and she got the distinct feeling that she might be sick if she thought about it anymore.

"I won't touch you," Jason replied. "Do you think you can make it into the shack before you keel over or hurl or whichever comes first?"

"No," Andy replied shortly. She just wanted to shut the world out until Nathaniel could find her, but she forced herself to her feet anyways. Her skin was way over-sensitive, as usual, but instead of feeling too good, it hurt. Slowly, she made her way into the shack and sat against the wall again.

Tomi watched the girl enter the shack and basically crumple against the wall. She said nothing but her eyes slid up until she met Jasons and she scooted over on the cot, taking the pillow off and sliding it across the floor to Andy. She said nothing at all, but she did make room for Jason to sleep with her now that the high was over. Her body just wanted to be held. "Jason..." She whispered and rolled her eyes down to the bed. "Lay down."
