Angewl looked in at that momnet and had a sword in hand in seconds, he ran in the room and stabbed the man's arm, not a lethal blow. "What the fuck are you doing man?!" he demanded angrily. He was absolutely outraged. He pulled his sword out, coimng between him and Kitsune. "Get aweay from us now, or I will kill you here." he threatened, acid in his tone.

The male flinched at the pain then smirked and vanished without a word not wanting to give off that he was not Thomass. Kitsune fell to the ground behind her lover feeling completely drained and in pain for the first time in a long time... well in a situation like this. Of course she had felt this and worse awhile back with the little camp incident though that was different.

His sword then dropped to the ground and he went to his lovers side at once, he hjad made sure that Trish was okay before he saw the Thomas go to hit Kitsune. His rage drained for now to concern. He carefully picked Kitsune up and laid her gently on their bed. "Are you alright love?" he asked her, tears threatening now that his rage had gone elsewhere. "I'm sorry I didn't come back sooner." he said to her. Trish had moved painfully back into the room to check on Kitsune as well. She had a concussion from the male, she believed it was Thomas, and she was about to sob uncontrolably thinking that she trusted a monster so much she made love to him. She couldn't believe that was true but her concussion made her believe so.

Kitsune coughed some and shook her head before moving a bit and wrapping her arms around his neck tears falling from her eyes. She too thought that it was Thomass... he had pretty much given both girls a concussion to boot and probabtly would ruin Thomass' life when he showed back up.

Thomass wandered through the forest and back to the inn wondering where Angel had went... he had told him that it would only be a little bit before he came back so why did he ditch him? Soon he arrived at the inn and slowly made his way inside and started toward his room just wanting to see his lover and be with her... though he had no clue that she nor the others would trust him ever again.

Angel heard Thomas approach and held onto Kitsune while she cried so he didn't hurt him. Trish had also wrapped her arms around him, he wrapped his other arm around her. He felt like a brother to her and a lover to Kitsune. He didn't want to be rash, he knew that Thomas would see the sword still dripping blood to the rug and the girls bruised and look horrified, probably just a trick to make them trust him again.

Thomass soon came to his and Trish's room then saw that she wasn't in there and glanced into Angel and Kitsune's room. His face went pale some.... well paler as he looked in there and saw the girls battered and bruised and a sward on the groand with blood on it. "What happened? Are you guys okay?" Thomass asked completely worried and oblivious then confused when Kitsune moved closer to Angel and cried some out of worry and fear that something would happen again. If they were to pay close attention there could be no way that this was the one that hurt the girls... he wasn't bleeding at all and his clothes weren't tattered one little bit or even smudged like he had been in a right or struggle of any kind.

He looked at him. "So you come back to finish the job?" Angel asked through clenched teeth. "I saw you, go to hit Kitsune, don't you remember the feel of my sword in your arm? Why'd you come back after you did that?" he wasen't being rational, he would realize that Thomas himself didn't really do it, but he was too outraged to look at it that way. Trish sobbed into his shoulder, breathing hard and unevenly from her hurt spots.

"Angel what are you talking about? You've never hit me with your sword... threatened yes, hit, I don't believe you ever have. Trish? Love what's wrong? i don't understand what's going on." Thomass said completely and utterly confused and worried as he first looked at Angel then to his lover whom was crying terribly, what had happened to make them act like this?

"I saw you attack them, and they say that you came in here acting suspicous and attacked them out of nowhere." Angel said, Trish had told him that quietly. He let go of them for a moment and picked up his sword, he pointed it at Thomas's heart. "Go before I stab you where you can't survive from it." he said. "And this time it won't be your arm." He looked at where he had stabbed him. "So you quickly changed your clothes I see." he said. He then wiped his sword off, and went back to comfort the girls. He held them as he had before he got his sword from the floor.

Thomass looked at them shocked and worried... when had he ever hurt the girls? Okay so he had hurt Kitsune before but that was a long time ago... but Trish? When had he ever hurt Trish? His love? Why would he hurt her? His eyes were weak and sad as he backed up then turned to leave. He didn't go to get his stuff in Trish's and his room, he just left with the weapons and items he had on his person and went off not knowing what to do now. He had to figure out what happened and he had a hunch of who did it... he would kill him as soon as he saw him and he didn't care if it was his brother or not.

Angel sat with the girls until they had settled and calmed a little bit. "I won't leave you guys alone like that again, I promise, he told me he'd be back soon, I didn't know he meant to do this." he got started thinking, why would he do this? Especially to Trish, he loves her, something was off, but his rage over powered his reasoning. He knew Thomas planned on coming back, that's why he didn't get his stuff from the other room.

(Shall we skip to a few nights later with Kitsune writing the note to Angel? Or should we go on with this a bit more?)

((Lets skip ahead a bit))

(Okay so to where Kitsune is writing the note to Angel before leaving right?)

((that's right my friend, in the finished cabin in the woods remember. Are they married at this point?))

(Yes so I'd say about a month has passed X3 )

Kitsune looked to the door of hers and her lovers room as she wrote on the notebook paper and knew he would not wake until she was already gone. She had to do this.... she had to know the truth and she knew that he wouldn't let her go if he was awake. She was not showing at all.... in fact she wasn't even sure if he knew yet. She then glanced down at the paper and a single silent tear fell and his the paper as she wrote.

"Dear love,
I am so sorry for doing this to you and to Trish though I most leave.... there is some unfinished bussiness that I must take care of before I can be completely settled. Do not take this the wrong way... I would take you both if I thought that it was a good idea and safe but frankly it's not possible. I don't plan on being gone long... though then again I don't know when I will be back, it could be a few days or a few months... I'm not quite sure yet. Please try not to morn for me too much... just remember that I will be home and I am always with you rather I'm there by your side or not.

I know we just got married and all... I'm not trying to leave or hurt you I just need to do this and I hope you can understand. In all honesty... I don't think that Thomass did what he did also... so if you see him please do not kill him and let him talk. As for me, well I'll be fine on my own for awhile... keep Trish safe and stay safe.... please don't forget about me and please take care of yourself.

I'm sorry, I love you so much
Your loving wife,
Kitsune"

Once she had finished writing there were several spots on the page that were wet from her tears. She then folded it in half and went back into the room, put it on the dresser, grabbed her bag, and left not knowing when she would be back.

When Angel woke up he read her note, he knew that she was long gone by now. He read it twice and didn;t come out of his and Kitsune's room for a couple of days, Trish did the work while he worked through what happened. Then Angel and Trish were talkng on the third day. "Do you beieve that Thomas did what you think he did?" he asked. She thought about it and her eyes grew sad. "No, I don't think so, when he touched me before that happened it was so tender and loving, when that impostor, it must have been his brother or something, touched me it was venegence." she said confused. Angel was thinking of why he would do that. "I think Kitsune wants us to find Thomas and let him talk, it's about time we do." Trish nodded in agreement.

Thomass was wandering threw the forest and town at this point hoping to find any answers to what had happened to his friend and his lover. He came up with the conclusion that it had been his brother and now was searching for him to make him pay for what he had done.

((Shall we have it pass to the time that she comes back after a couple posts from each of us?))

(yeppers X3 I thought that we were gonna wait till Kitsune gets back or at least have it proven that it's not him by Angel and Trish seeing him fight with his brother before they forgive him? Ow and how long shall we skip? I know at least a year... what about like a year and a half? Kitsune'll only be pregnant for 6 months thanks to the fact that she's a shifter XP I wanted the kid to be at least 6 months old before Kitsune comes back so maybe say Kitsune's been gone for a year and a half that way the kid's 1?)

((yeah, it was an idea i had, maybe have angel take that time to think about what did happen and see that it doesn't make sense. So lets skip to a year and a half later.))

(okay do you think that you could take your chara post out of that so I don't get confused or others get confused when reading over it?)

The year and a half had pass fairly quick for Kitsune as she had quickly found out that she was pregnant and had the child about six months after leaving her husband and friend. She needed answers and she couldn't go back now so she continued to travel taking care of her child with little difficulty. She did think of going back when she had found out then again after she had the child though decided against it and continued to work out the issues that she needed to resolve. Today she was going to go home and hopefully back to her husband.... if he still wanted her back that is. She had the child that looked more like a three year old on her back having a blanket tied around Kitsune's back and shoulders then around the child to keep them on her back as she moved. She soon came close to the training area and set the child down under a tree and moved to look around and see if he lover was there at all and hoped that he was. She knew that he wouldn't see the child yet and that she would reveal them to him after a few of talking.

Angel was on his way to the training area. When he got there he saw someone under the tree, he thought he saw Kitsune but wasen't sure. The last year and a half without his new wife was tough, but he wanted her back, he'd had so many lonely nights laying awake. He slowly walked over and he couldn't believe it was her. He didn't notice the child behind her, their child. He walked over and he soon realized it was Kitsune and he hugged her close, still not noticing the one year old. He couldn't believe he was again holding his wife, but he truely was. He didn't want to tant this moment so he didn't talk, not yet. He was so over joyed a tear fell down his cheek.

Kitsune smiled right away and hugged Angel back tightly and kissed his neck softly soft tears rolling down her cheeks as she couldn't believe she was back here and he was holding her close again. She had also had many of those lonely, sleepless nights and around those times she would travel and try to keep going and keep her spirits up at least a little. "I missed you sooooo much... I'm so sorry I did that to you... I love you" she whispered softly her voice shaking and the tears still falling down her cheeks and some dripped onto his shirt a bit.

He kissed her softly. "I love you too, I never stopped, I waited for you to come back everyday." he said. He would train to try and distract him, but he'd wind up dropping his sword in the ground, having no motivation to do much of that, he found a job as a military commander, and they called on him when he was needed, the fighing helped him to not think about his loneliness, but not for long, He trained soldiers and that's it. "Please do me a favor and don't disappear like that again." he said tears going down his cheeks, he didn't care if Kitsune saw him cry. Just then he noticed the child. "I didn't know you were pregnant." Angel said. "Is it ours?"
