LaRanzo

Something was happening, the guards were all in armor with heavy weapons, lining at the gate.

Something had to have happened! I thought as I watched Sai, older Sai( long story but Sai has some weird split mentality thing, young Sai is a dick and older sai is actually pretty cool), come out in full battle regalia with Grim by his side.

My heart sped up as my eyes locked on his graceful and nightmarish at the same time in his black and red armor, his hair pulled back by a lether strip that looked suspiciously like the one I had made for Ayioshi.

I narrowed my eyes, looking closer at the makeshift ponytail tat I was ABSOLUTELY sure I had given to Ayi! Had he taken it? Why?

I was glaring at him when he suddenly turned and our eyes locked and I was falling in those beautiful eyes like the milky way.
He licked his lips and a shiver ran through me as my imagination took over and I imagined him slamming me Into a wall as I drowned in those bow lips.

His eyes slid away from me and he mutter something my enhanced hearing couldn't make out to one of his soldiers but I was already leaping down from the perch, watching as Grim's eyes bugged and a growl tore through the air.

Ok it was sorta funny, Grim had avoided me for so long he hadn't had a chance to see how far my power had progressed.
I wanted to show him how far I'd come, how much better I was now.

I slide down the side of the keeps slanted roof, landing on a balcony and bounced to land on the roof closest to me so I could keep the momentum but as I landed on the next slanted roof my foot slipped and I slid along the roof tumbling off the roof before I slammed into a firm chest.

Glancing up into the face of a very angry Grim, I felt nothing but pure joy that then turned to annoyance.

"Why did you take Ayioshi hair band? Why did you hurt him!" I said as I plucked him in his furrowed brow before I noticed the large frigging dragon wings as he slowly lowered us to the ground. "You have Wings!!!?"

He landed gracefully bit set me firmly on my feet almost making my knees buckle.

"You are reckless child of water" His deep voice rumbled through me but my mind was somewhere else, mainly on my hands the were currently on what I could only call man titties. My God they were so BIG and firm, he was saying something to someone? Distantly I think I heard Van but all I could think about was the warmth spreading through me and one thought drowned everything out.

Squeeze.

So I squeezed and bliss filled me!

" oh my gawds.... I have a kink and it's your man titties" I gasped and I heard a low grunt and I was being pulled away from him but my hands remained outstretched as my mind replayed what I shall forever call The squeeze.

"haha it seems our little water child is growing up, maybe what happ-"

"Silence Van. Take him to his chambers. Keep him away from Ayioshi." He growled out before turning away towards the soldiers.

" You and me have some unfinished business Grim!" I yelled as Van flipped me over his shoulder since I was dragging my feet " I am SO disappointed in you! Disregarding my feelings and hurting Ayi! I'll never forgive you or your man titties! And that ponytail is Ayis ya thief!" I finally stopped yelling, I didn't mean to say all of that especially in front of his whole army but I lost it at the dismissal of me and Van and what he had done to Ayi had flooded my mind and like a hormonal teenager my anger got the best of me.

I saw and felt a hard flinch go through both Van and Grim and I felt the weight of silence, I don't think anyone even breathed while Grim's back stiffened and he growled out to Van for him to take me, I could hear a pain deep in the fibers of his voice and I panicked.

"NO! No Grim I'm sorry, please let's talk a moment!" I screamed but Van just kept walking, moving me farther away from Grim and the pain he radiated, I felt it.

*****************************************

I let myself be carried, the weight of regret making me feel weak and annoyed.

"Please put me down, Van" I said when we began to get close to where Ayi usually paced, I wanted to see him just once before being locked in my room probably for the duration of my time here for ticking Grim off.

No for hurting him.

"Very well, child of water." Even his voice sounded hurt. He set me gently down on my feet, his hands sliding slowly up my legs, hips then waist as gravity help me slide down his front and I felt right and bump of his muscles as I went.

Ugh why were they all so ripped!

"*cough* um thank you" I mumbled as I steadied myself, his hands never leaving my waist.

"Why? Why did you guys do that to Ayi? We didn't do anything wrong!" I said looking up into those warm night sky eyes. I smiled as I took in his hair so different from his brothers, cut short on the sides with a long fringe on top flowing across his left eye. I noticed they all had different piercing, his was a small nose piercing, Ayi was his tongue and Grim had his ears pierced.

" He-He broke our agreement, he knew the consequences. He's lucky that's all Grim did, we've never broken a promise between u-us" his voice cracked as he stared at me, the pain in his eyes from what I can only call betrayal flashed hard.

"What was the agreement, Van?" I asked but instead he let go and started to turn away but I grabbed on to his shirt "What was it Van? Tell me! I have the right to know! It involves me doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?!" I yelled but he just went stock still, staring down the hallway until a soft deep voice answered me.

"We agreed not to touch you till you understood everything, we share everything together because we-we" Ayi said from behind me, I had forgotten the reason we stopped.

" St-Stop Ayi he won't understand, we'll lose him" Van said in a low voice. I looked between the two and saw how torn Ayi looked and scared Van looked what were they keeping from me?

"What? Tell me, I won't hate any of you, you won't lose me! I-I like you all, I mean-I mean I-I...." I lost my nerves and I knew I was red as a tomato as I stared at my shoes.

I said to much.

"We are and aren't, LaRanzo." Ayi said in a low voice.

I didn't understand it at all.

"What does that mean?" I said looking between them. They are but aren't?

"He means we, Me, Ayi and Grim are one" Van said still shaking slightly.

" In the beginning there was a room, a very small room and the women would tell us story's. Beautiful tales like you tell me. She said we'd find the child of water and he'd love us, care for us. That man would come and take her while we huddled in the dirty corner. She'd make him bring us food and water and hug us and tell us she'd get us out of there. We met the boy in the walls one day, he was kind and became our only friend. One day we awoke to find her dead and the man started to use u-us. Unlike when he used the women who birthed us he didn't give us food or water. We drank our piss till we had no more then slowly we lost one, we felt him fade away till the bond broke, then there was two. The man came and used us till one day one of us fought back and he beat him till he stopped moving. The fading one told the last to eat there flesh and absorb the power that was left. When fear, hunger and pain pushed him to he felt his brothers with him." Ayioshi voice shook as he spoke, his eyes never leaving the ground as he told me the horrors they had endured. Did that mean two of them were dead? But how? Which ones?

"The man didn't return after that but it didn't matter, we were together. Then the voice in the walls came and freed us during a war attempt, Sai saved us, got us away and nursed us back to health, when we were strong enough we became able to split again and we swear to rid this world of the one who did this to us and our... mother,Our father." Van said his voice void of any emotion.

When I glanced at him, his face was a blank mask, he was staring at the other end of the wall, hands behind his back in a military stance, they both felt so far way from me.

" We did what we had to to reach that goal. Till we met you child or water, we had waited for you for so long! We- We all felt it, a few nights after we met you I... Um wanted to um woo you but Grim was very firm on us all waiting till the war was over and we could all tell you together so we all agreed to not touch you until we finished our first goal. We all agreed but I, I broke the agreement. I tried to block them but they felt my excitement through the bond and Grim felt betrayed. We had never broken a promise between us before, he snapped. Please don't hate him." Ayi said taking a step towards me. I was in shock it was.. A LOT to take in. My head was spinning!

"He wasn't ready! I told you he wasn't ready, he'll leave us now!" Van said pulling away from me, the façade he wore breaking as he panicked.

I pushed my confusion and subtle fear I was making out with a zombie to the side and went to Van, attempting to grab his hands but he pulled away from me, backing up till he hit the wall and slide down covering his face.

"I won't leave. I promise! I just have some questions, if that's ok? How do you know I'm the child of water you were waiting for?" I said kneeling in front of him so our faces were level.

"We can feel it, you were the one we never thought we'd meet, the one the women told us about" Ayi said sitting beside Van on the floor and pulling one of his hands from his face, kissing the back and hiding it I'm both of his.

Not going to lie my libido wanted him to kiss him other places but one step at a time, I was coming up with a new plan, who cares if two are maybe zombies! I don't think I could live without them. I never thought id find someone or in this case someone's who I'd feel so strongly about, who cared for me. Who protected me, trained me, made me laugh and smile and only for me. Their eyes never wondered, they never hurt me.

I smiled at Van, touching either side of his face then leaned in and kissed him.

" ok let's say I am your child of water, that means we were meant to meet. I'm here to help you all get rid of that horrible person who donated sperm to make you!" I said causing Van to smile and Ayi to giggle.

" Ayi didn't break his promise and neither did you. Of its fate it was meant to happen this way so don't blame Ayi or yourself. Instead maybe um would you-I mean both of you um want to maybe d-date? M-me? Date me?" I lost all Bravo at the end, stuttering over myself.

"You still want to be here? You... want all of us?" Van said a spark of hope in his starry eyes.

" I told you he would understand! He is our child of water, Our LaRanzo." Ayi said with a a beautiful smile that lit up his eyes.

I leaned over and kissed him, then kissed Van. Then did it again a bit longer.

"Does that mean you'll both date me?" I said and they both nodded

"OK good because I'll need your help Wooing Grim, he is so head set on treating me like I can't be touched. Where did Grim go with that army? Will he be ok?" I asked remembering the army and Sai leaving and the pain of how things ended.

" For months we have been planing to rescue a prisoner who Sai has become close to and also to down most of the army from our... father and to capture our half brother."

My stomach dropped. Grim was going to war?!
