[BlitheCrescent]

A sword appears in Thaddious's hand, Evernight keeps the scythe. Before Thaddious can even react, Evernight lunges forward, slicing Thaddious's chest open with the scythe. There's no physical damage, but the world goes into photo negative again, Nozomi would be able to see the bonds between each of his six souls and his body shattering. But, there's one more bond there. One stretching between him and Nozomi.

Thaddious struggles, but stands up. "You may have cut the six...but you forgot that now there are seven." He plunges his sword through Evernight's heart.

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi watches and growls softly, feeling another hiss rise up in her throat. Her purple eyes start to slowly fuse with a deep red. She glared at Evernight and tried to shake away the hissing and whispering in her head but it was getting progressively louder and she couldn't do anything else except let the growls rise in volume.

[BlitheCrescent]

Evernight falls to his knees as the world around them returns to normal. He shatters into a thousand pieces of what looks like glass. Thaddious looks up at Nozomi, and simply says "Thank you" He then passes out. Because the match is over, Nozomi would be able to leave the stands now.

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi jumped to the ground, "Thaddious?!!" She ran over to him and knelt next to him. She glanced around and figured that they wouldn't be able to get out until he woke up. She sat next to him, pulling her knees to her chest and occasionally making sure he was stil breathing.

[BlitheCrescent]

He'd remain asleep for a few hours, and finally wake up. He blinks at Nozomi. "What....happened?"

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi looked down at him and a smile crossed her face for a moment before it left and she blinked, "Well, you fought Evernight.. You don't remember?"

[BlitheCrescent]

Thaddious shakes his head. "I just killed half of myself. I'm lucky I can still remember who I am.....and who you are."

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi nodded, "Yeah heh I guess you're right...do you want to sit up or anything?" She brought her knees away from her chest and sat on her knees.

[BlitheCrescent]

He nods, and tries to sit up. "Sorry....don't have much energy after that...."

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi went to help him, "It's alright I can imagine how draining that must be..." She frowned; she knew what it was like to kill one of her more important halves. She shuttered a lttle bit for a second and then shook her head.

[BlitheCrescent]

Thaddious smiles a bit, and then suddenly kisses Nozomi.

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi blinked and her face became a dark shade of red as she blushed. Unsure of what to do exactly, she kissed him back lightly.

[BlitheCrescent]

Thaddious smiles a bit, and tries to stand up, but falls back down. "we maybe here for a while....i can get a portal for you to go back home, if you want. Or you can stay. Not sure how long it will be until I can walk again...."

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi shrugged, "I can stay here. Or I could always help you if I needed to. But it doesn't matter to me." She smiled at him but then her eyes widened a little. Her heart thudded in her chest and a tightness made its way into her throat.

Nozomiiiiii~ Don't lose control~ You know what happened the last time you lost control~ I wouldn't get too close if I were you. Came the hissing but taunting voice of Kage in her head.

[BlitheCrescent]

Thaddious smiled softly at her. "thank you...."he sighs. "even though I won....i still could die soon....all six of my remaining souls were severed from my body. The only thing that kept me alive was you....my will to stay in this world with you. But....unless my souls make a solid connection, I'll die."

[NozomiCrimson]

"Can they make a connection?" She asked quickly, trying to fight back Kage. One of her eyes start to swirl with small red lines.

[BlitheCrescent]

He nods. "Unless something happens or someone tries to attack me, yes." He notices her eyes. "What's with the red lines in your eye?"

[NozomiCrimson]

She shakes her head and looks away a moment and stuttered a bit, "N-Nothing it'll go away..." I'm not losing control...not here...

Kage growled at her menacingly.

[BlitheCrescent]

"Ok...." his own eyes slowly started to swirl with yellow, blue, and red. His breathing became a bit faster, and his tattoos slowly began to twitch. "the connections are starting now....wont be long, hopefully."

[NozomiCrimson]

Nozomi nodded and would stay by him. Four sudden cuts on her arm startled her and she cursed under her breath, flinching from it. She growled as her one eye became completely red and a figure surrounded by shadows with glowing red eyes appeared next to her, grinning maniacally.
