Karita hugged herself, her eyes closed, head bent to face the ground. She sighed, and felt like just a normal person, no one ever bothering you, just ignoring. But, of coarse, it was the middle of winter, and no one was crazy enough to walk outside. Except her. She made herself visible, needing energy to keep herself warm. She looked up after a moment, something catching her eye. She noticed a gem, and bent down, picking it up and inspecting it. It then happened suddenly.
A man rushed at her, and dragged her down an alleyway, using a spell to silence her. She could breath, but not speak or scream. She thrashed around, but to no avail, for another spell was used, pinning her to a wall, unmoving. She glared at him, and he ripped her cloak off, making her shiver. The cold seeped into her, numbing her body. He grinned, and eyed her shirt. She noticed that, and tried to trash again, anger in her eyes.

Zuki was walking down an alleyway. The same exact alleyway. He was looking down at the ground, just walking. He then scented the air, which he does once in a while. He noticed Karita's scent. He thought she was walking down here too. But then another scent lingered and he glared at the ground.
his head shot up and then darted around the corner. He then widened his eyes. "Karita!!" He shouted. He then darted, rage inside him, building up. His skin began to change colors. His fist swung a powerful bone-breaking blow towards the man.

The man was taken by surprise, and was flung backwards, smacking into a wall. His body slumped to the ground, and he groaned.
Karita started yelling cusswords at the man, but remembered the spell, and stopped; since he couldn't hear. She watched Zuki, and tried prying herself off the wall again.

Zuki didn't hesitate. He rushed up to the man and swung his fist over and over again right at him. Zuki then gripped his hand around the man's throat, picking him up and slamming him against the wall. He raised his fist and then swung with all his might right at his face.

The last blow caused the face to be blown in, and Zuki's fist went straight through his skull, coming out the back.
Karita's eye twitched, and she winced, looking away. She then fell into the snow, her front side becoming covered in a layer of ice. She stood up, and sneezed, her voice coming back.
"Zuki?"
She looked up at him, and her jaw lowered slightly.

Zuki's face was back to it's origonal color. Purple. His protective plating came off his face when it finally fully turned colors. His hair turned bright white and his eyes red to purple. He then looked at Karita and then went up to her. "Are you okay?? Did he hurt you?" He asked, wiping the blood off his hand and then taking hold of her around her sides.

"I'm fine..."
Karita replied, still staring.
"But, but..."
She stammered, staring at Zuki's eyes.
"You're a grape again..."

Zuki blinked. And then looked at himself. "Well... What do you know?" He then looked at Karita and then wondered why. He then felt his face, which didn't have the protective object. He sighed with releif, glad it was off.
Zuki then wrapped his arms around her. "Then... We both are grapes." He then kissed her. "But it doesn't matter, does it? It's just skin color." He looked at her and then smiled, kissing her again. "Now, let's take you to my mom's Inn, so she could make you some soup."

Karita nodded. However, her nod stopped, and she closed her eyes, her head rearing back as she sneezed again.
"Soup sounds good..."
She muttered, her eyelids becoming heavy. A shiver went down her spine, and she covered her nose to keep from sneezing again.

Zuki put his arms around her and took her along out of the alleyway.
As he came around the corner, everyone turned and gasped, seeing the old Zuki himself. They reared back, even though Zuki was just helping Karita to see their mom.
Zuki smirked, upon seeing fear in everyone's eyes. "That's much more better. And it better be that way." He said, mainly to himself. He then looked at Karita and took her hand, now walking normally.
Ary was just now going to work as she spotted them coming down. She quickly came out. "Oh, how are you, hon? How's you and yourself, Karita darling?"
"She got a cold. Could you make some spices that would cure it? Your food seems magical to me, since they cure every desiese and ailments for some reason." Zuki said, commenting.
Ary shrugged. "Well, ya, I use some certain stuff that you won't understand, and ecspecially some Dragonsbrittle and Demorisis. No, they are not from a dragon or demon, they are just called that, because they ran out of names, and they found them in those lands. How I get them? Well, that's a mystery." She said and winked as she walked in. "I'll make you guys some chicken soup."

Karita followed, hugging herself to keep herself warm. She plugged her nose and covered her mouth when she was going to sneeze, and after a moment, pulled them away, the feeling to sneeze gone for a moment. She sat down in chair, leaning back in it, closing her eyes.

Zuki sat down next to her and then rested his head on the table. He then sat up. "Hey, can I order some drinks here?" He looked foward at Karita and then smiled. "So, you like the old me, don't you?"

"Well, for a while, I liked how you changed. You became better and better. But, after a while, I missed the old you."
Karita replied, smiling.
"The first you was perfect."

Zuki nodded and then got something to drink. He then drank a little of beer, then looked back at Karita. Zuki glanced around, seeing if anyone was watching. No one watched him. Except one, who freaked out and then looked away. Zuki then looked back at Karita.
"Well, I can't tell when I change. So it doesn't matter in my thought." He sighed.
Ary came back and then glared at Zuki, carrying some good smelling chicken soup. She slamed his bowl in front of him and then snatched the beer away from him. "Now, I don't want you to get drunk, alright?" She then sat the bowl down in front of Karita, then gave them the utensils. Ary walked back, drinking down the beer that Zuki ordered.
Zuki grumbled and then looked at the soup. He then looked at Karita and then scooted over to her.

Karita snickered a little, then dipped the spoon into the soup. Her eyes were focused on a noodle, and she used the tip of the spoon to bat it around.

Zuki then began gobbling up the soup, like it was going to dissapear from him. He ate the chicken peices as he slurped up the noodles. Zuki then slowed down and looked at Karita. He then swallowed his full mouth and then said, "Hey, everything alright? You're not eating." He then began to eat normally.

Karita nodded.
"Yea, I'm fine."
She continued to play with the noodles in her soup, stabbing them, pushing them to the other side. She sighed quietly, and looked at Zuki with a smile, as if to be reassured.

Zuki sighed. He continued drinking the liquid and eating the rest of the chicken. He then finished off his soup and then looked at her. He felt eyes staring at him and he glared over at the direction. The girls that watched him, fell backwards and then collected themself up and turned around. Zuki sighed and put his arms around Karita. "Come on, eat the soup. It will make you feel better." He told her and kissed her.

Karita nodded.
"Alright.."
She replied, not glancing up at anyone. She picked the bowl up, and drank from the side, wanting to get it down quickly.

Zuki watched her and brushed her hair, running his hands through her hair. He then felt his hair, which happened to grow rapidly to it's long length. He poked her on the side of her belly. "We still need at least one more child... Remember? Unless you are still sick, then we can wait till you feel better." He wispered to her.

With the shock, Karita had lost part of her memory for the moment.
"Why?"
She asked, confused, looking around the inn. Everyone glanced at her, but went back to their own things.

Zuki stared at her. He then wispered, "Remember? We want to name a child after m-... Our dad. Karos." He poked her again and brushed his hand down her leg and put his head on her elbow. "If not, then that's fine. I just thought for a while that we almost forgotten..."

Karita smirked.
"Oh, right. Just give me a day or two to get over the cold, and, I promise we can start on that."
She chuckled.

Zuki chuckled his dark laughter, and then kissed her on the cheek. He then sat up straight and then watched her bowl for a moment. He drew circles on her leg with his finger, and then looked up at the ceiling. He watched the lights dance across the top from the candlelight.
Then, upon thinking... He remembered what he had to do. "Damnit all! I forgot to do the chores for today! Reading the laws and everything, then go to ask that one girl about uuh... Whatever... I'll do that later... That half-demon can talk to me later on." He said.

Karita nodded, watching Zuki, smiling to herself. She was glad to have her grape back. She leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, then stared, as if starstruck.
