Kimberleigh Naruse
Kimberleigh was looking at her reports that the police chief had filed for her, noting the numbers and locations of the nekos for each day. It seemed that they never left the house unless they had someone with them, and usually it was Sirrah or Kevin. Kimberleigh sneered at the thought of those two. They had been thorns in hers and her husband's sides for months now, and the politians were getting restless from waiting for the older twin to be under their control once more. Her phone rang and she pick it up. "Kim. W-what? Tsubatsu's... dead? No, that's not possible.... Ashika.... That b***h... That ******** b***h! I swear to GOD Rich, if I EVER find that little whore, I'm ripping her throat out!"
Kim threw the phone into the wall, and watched it break. She wanted to find that child and kill her in ways she had never thought possible. "Ashika Rose Dresden, I swear that I will make you pay. I will make ALL of you pay." She hissed in an insane rage, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she remembered a report on Sirrah Tayashi from twenty five years ago. Yes, this will do. Mothers never expect to lose their child twice.
[Ah, but don't you see? You have been living in a dream. Now it's time to face the nightmare.]

Jorden Gregory Ariake
I want to find something I've wanted all along...
Jorden was literally in his happy place at the moment. Curled up on Tank's bed, cuddling with the male in question, and kissing him softly. Jorden had, in fact, taken to spending most of his nights here; he felt safe and happy with his big, adorable, Russian boyfriend. However, in spite of the fact that they spent most nights sleeping in each other's arms, they still hadn't gotten intimate... Which was fine with Jorden. When it was the right time, he'd just know it. Jorden sighed with satisfaction and tightened his arms slightly around Tank's waist, smiling up at him happily. He blushed as he opened his mouth to say something that he should have said a long time ago. "I... I love you, Mikhail..."

Jorden Gregory Ariake
I want to find something I've wanted all along...
Jorden sighed and considered Tank's question. Did he want to talk about it? He never really had before. Of course, Harmony and Sirrah knew all the details. They'd been there for him through it all. But he'd never actually sat down and told everyone the entire story. Perhaps it would help get rid of the flashbacks. If not, it would help Tank understand why Jorden was having them. "It happened four years ago," he began softly, closing his eyes as he remembered.
"See, it ah... It took me awhile to come to grips with the fact I liked men better than women. But once I did, I was overly eager to find a boyfriend. My first boyfriend, and my only one aside from you, was a man named Rei Fujinoko. He was ten years older than me." Jorden laughed harshly.
"I was far too shallow in choosing him... He was good-looking and seemed nice, and that was all I cared about. My entire family tried to warn me that Rei wasn't right for me, but I didn't listen to them." Jorden paused a moment, letting the regret he felt run its course.

Jorden Gregory Ariake
I want to find something I've wanted all along...
The kiss on his hair steadied him, and Jorden was able to keep going. "I was seventeen when I started dating Rei. We dated for a year. He seemed fine. Showered me with presents and compliments, gave me plenty of hugs and kisses, and never pushed me for sex at all. He said he loved me, and I parroted it back, even though I was lying. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, and didn't want him to leave me. I was such a selfish, shallow, stupid child... I'm glad you didn't know me back then, Mikhail... You wouldn't have liked what you saw."
"Anyhow. One day, for my eighteenth birthday, he took me to a concert I'd been dying to see. A few of his friends were there, drinking, so he sat with them and started drinking too. After awhile, he offered me a few shots of vodka. I didn't know what else to do. I took them." Jorden shuddered. "Worst tasting stuff ever... Tasted like burning. But after the first two, things started getting... Fuzzy. My powers and senses were dulled. I couldn't think quickly at all."
"The concert ended, and Rei took me home. No one else was in the house. He asked if he could come inside, and I said yes, of course. Well, one thing led to another, and we ended up in my room. On my bed. Kissing... Pretty intensely." Jorden blushed in shame. "I had always noticed there was something... off... about how he kissed me. He was always a bit too rough, but I didn't protest. I thought it was natural for a man to be rougher than a woman. But that night, his kisses actually hurt. He bit my lips and tongue, hard, until they bled."
"I told him he was hurting me, told him to stop... But he just laughed and kept saying he loved me, that I was his cute little lizard, that he just wanted to show me he loved me. I was too tipsy to think straight... Before I knew it, my clothes were gone. He'd ripped them off with his knife. I tried to get up, tried to cover myself, and that's when he got mean." Jorden's eyes darkened with a deep anger and hurt.
"He told me he'd cut me if I didn't do what he said. I was inebriated, and scared, so I did what he said. He made me lay down on my chest, tied my hands..." Tears pricked Jorden's eyes once again, and he moved on quickly. "Well, I won't bore you with the details. But he wasn't kind. He wasn't gentle. What he did hurt me more than anything I've ever felt before or since." Jorden stood and turned his back to Tank, lifting his shirt to show several dark red, clawlike scars. "He scratched me up pretty good, too." He lowered his shirt and sat back down.
"When he finished, he didn't untie me. Didn't say goodbye. Didn't say a word. Just put on his clothes and left. I never saw him again. I laid there for hours, crying... Just crying... And then Harmony found me." Jorden covered his face with his hands and fought back the sobs that threatened to burst forth. He made himself continue instead of cry. "I'll never forgive myself... For letting her see me like that... It changed her. She became more aggressive, more defensive. I, on the other hand, became milder." He smiled slightly and wiped his eyes. "I used to be the aggressive one, if you can believe it. But ever since he broke me...." Jorden shuddered and fell silent at last, feeling hollow and broken, like he had four years ago.
