[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Here is what I suppose I should have said from the start. My husband and I did fall in love at first sight(I can't be unconvinced of that) BUT we did work on getting much closer afterwards. We started off close, we felt like we had known each other forever but we did get closer over the years and we do those little things to show one another we care. I'll cook his fav meals when I get the chance and he'll do things for me as well. I do believe it happened to me and I am sorry for those of you who do not understand, it just happened. But we did have to talk and get to know one another but we both knew no matter what either one said we still wanted to be with each other. Like I said we fought all the time at first but I never wanted to be away from him or with out him in my life. To this day we fight alot but the fights are not serious or in any way relationship crippling. Squabbles that are over in minutes and we're cuddling and laughing about it. Its just how we are. Both of us believe it was actual love at first sight but as stated its a losing battle and I know I'll never convince anyone of that but I can always give my opinion. And Panache, in all honesty yes i would have. I'm a firm believer of following ones heart and I always have done that And not you did not offend cause I know we have two different beliefs its not a problem.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Again it is impossible to make you all believe that I am a wife and mother through the product of love at fist sight. And I will say I believe that is what is was for the fact that I dated before I met my husband and never felt what I felt for him when I saw my Xs but when I saw Knuckles something felt right about him and it was the same with him, he was engaged when we first met and he said his feelings for me that day were strong enough to make him think twice. But like I said for those of us that do believe it we are fighting a losing battle. Perosnally I feel sad that people do not believe in it anymore but thats just how it is anymore.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Wow, this is really bad, no one believes in the little miricales like true love at first sight. I'm sorry but no one is ever gonna convince me its not out there and it does not happen. If I ever get my husband on here he'll agree what we have was off of love at first sight. The both of us just knew in our hearts that we wanted to be with each other forever. And no it was not lust or a mutual attraction that grew to love. It was deep from the begining. We were in love with each other the moment we met. I'll argue that fact till the day I die and so will he. I think to all of you that doubt it your close minded(Not all of you) but its real, it happens and I have the family to prove it. But wether I am proof or not its all what we all believe. So there. I'm done with trying to win a loseing battle with people who think that an attraction to a person can not be love, real love, that its all about lust or just an attraction. So :P I'm done.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Will stsrt this sometime today. thanks for the posts sign ups are still open for the sins[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"][COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I will agree with some of that to an extent. I agree it depends on the person, and the persons beliefs; to me its kinda the same concept of if you believe in god or not. Just cause you think he's not there doesn't mean he isn't. Just because you think it's impossible doesn't make it that way. I have always and will always believe my husband and I fell for one another the moment we saw one another. Its something I have always known happened to me and I will always think that, no one can convince me otherwise. No offense anyone on the god comment, its just the same concept. [/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I am a firm believer of love at first sight due to the fact that it happened to me. I first met my husband in high school. At the time I was dating someone else and as soon as I saw him something clicked. I knew in my heart it was him, it took us a while to actually get together but I never stopped thinking of him from that day on, even now when he's at work over night or on deployment I never get him out of my mind. We've been together 5 years now, dating 4 married 1. We have 2 boys and couldn't be happier. It seems hard to believe, even to me, but it happened. I can't really explain it, but that's that thing about true love, it never makes sense, mostly cause of the fact that him and I did not get along when we first met, we got into fights every time we saw one another but at the same time it hurt me to think of never seeing him again. Like I said it took us while to finally get together cause after a few days the guy I was dating stopped having us hang out in the library where Knuckles always stayed and it hurt me when I couldn't talk to him and see him. 4 months later we started dating and we never split up. I know for me it was love at first sight and I agree with Chibi master, it happens once and it happens fast so keep your eyes open. And just for the record, I was VERY self conscious so my attraction to him was FAR from lust, and it was the same way with him. We just connected when we first saw one another. I was just lucky enough to know it when it hit me and take the chance on it; it's turned out the be the best gut choice of my life.Needless to say our bond has gotten stronger over time but I believe it was at first sight.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][RIGHT][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Everyone is accepted, all we need is someone to fight Gluttony and we'll start this.[/FONT][/RIGHT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]OMG! Sakazaki, he is gorgeous! I used to raise and breed Rotties and they to me are the best breed in the world(just my opinion) I've had two and they were the best dogs I've ever had. He is really beautiful...Okay, I've done my fawning, sorry about that...I just REALLY love Rotties. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I have to agree with most everyone here, I was lucky enough to find true love in my highschool sweetheart but I can assure you we got to know each other first before we did anything beyond kissing, but than again we were dating at the time(not that everything else wasn't what we both were thinking, we just wanted something more to come from it.) I say you either give it a shot and get your self hurt(knowing girls like that myself in highschool I can tell your from experieance that they just want a playtoy to tug on) or have a one night stand and move on, but be ready for the consiequences that come with it, cause girls like that LOVE to talk *****. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]"Exactly what you said we're doing. Laying low and recovering." They all turned to her shocked that she could even speak. "Nayomi! Are you alright?" "I'm fine Duke, I've had worse." "Not that I can remember." She shook her head and winced as her body trembled. "There is a weapon locker in the basement, Reiver knows how to get in. I think there is something there for everyone and for everything." "What did you two make this place for anyway?" "It's a long story, one I will tell later, but as for now, we need to get everyone back up to par." She tried to sit up when Duke put his hand on her shoulder. "That means you too." "I'll live trust me." He nodded as he pushed her back gently. "Yeah because your going to rest for once." She sighed and lay back, she looked around and closed her eyes when her body began to burn. She winced and gripped the sheets tight as it spread throughout her entire body. When it reached her eyes she hissed in pain. "Nayomi? What's wrong?" She groaned as it intensified and then screamed as her head seared with pain. Her nails became long, sharp, and claw like; her fangs grew longer as they watched. Her ear became pointed and they saw her eyes flare open only to be pure blue. J.B. stepped forwards. "Oh no, she's transforming." Duke looked at him horrified. "I thought you said you healed that!" "I said I might have...I never made a promise Duke." "So what do we do?!" Reiver stepped forward with a large crossbow, Duke saw that the tip of the arrow was silver. "You bastard! You want to kill her?!" "Of course not, but we can not have a werewolf amoung us. She'll attack us all." "Who are you talking about?" They all looked up to see Nayomi fully healed, her eyes now blue, her hair dark. "Nayomi, are you alright?" "I'm fine Duke, why?" "Well mostly you were just on a bed nearly dead, thats why." "I dunno, I just felt better all of a sudden. Is that such a bad thing?" She stretched her arms above her head and yawned, they all saw inch long fangs standing out among the rest of her teeth which were now sharp as well. She sat down and relaxed, everyone still giving her strange looks. Reiver walked up to her with a needle and jabbed it into her arm enticing a growl from her. "What the hell was that for?" "Shift." "Huh?" "Shift forms." She shrugged and shifted only to hear Damo whistle. "What?" They were now looking at a wolf as tall a person, her fur still black but as in her human from her eyes were blue. Reiver handed J.B the vial of her blood that he had taken. "Shift back." When she did they saw her hair was dark instead of its normal red; after about 20 minutes Reiver came back into the room, everyone now eating their own pizza and regaining their strength. "Your hybrid blood fused with the werewolf virus...Nayomi, your a werewolf." She blinked and looked around as everyone shifted in their seats uncomfortably.Looking around she sighed and put the slice of pizza she was eatting down and stood up, Sin edged away slightly. Nayomi looked at him and frowned alittle. "I'm not a monster Sin. I'm still me." Reiver put his hand on her shoulder. "We need to talk more about our next move Nay." "We'll rest here for the the rest of the day and through the night, tomarrow we're going to HQ and cleaning it out and seeing if we can find Red." J.B looked up shocked. "You mean THE Red, the one behind all of us and HQ, the one behind everything?" "Yeah, that Red. Louis you think you know where he might be?" "If I recall correctly he might be in the basement, he had it fortified in case something like that happened." She nodded and walked to the back of the room tapping on the wall and opening a hall that led to an array of small rooms. "I'm going to go lay down. I think things are alittle weird at the moment with us..." She walked down and entered the first room on the left. Reiver sighed and followed her, not bothering to knock he opened her door and stepped in. "Nay-" "You should knock, you know that. I'm tired Reiver please leave me alone." "I just want to talk. You know you have to becareful now, you can't bite Duke any more and you have to watch if you scratch some one. You know that right?" "Reiver...if your trying to make me feel better, its not working." "All I'm saying is you have to becarful till we know if your contagious." "Contagious? I'm not a fucking dieaease Reiver! I'm still me!" "Your a werewolf now! We have to keep an eye one you!" She growled and advanced on him. "Get out Reiver. Now. I don't want to see you." "All I'm saying is if you really love Duke the way you say you do, you have to becareful." She grabbed his shirt, opened her door and threw him back into the main room into the middle of everyone else. Duke looked up shocked; he blinked as he saw tears lineing her eyes. "Is that how you all feel? Like I'm some sort of monster now?" They looked at one another not saying anything at first; Nayomi bit her lip as Duke looked at her and opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off before he could. "Fine, I'll keep my distance than." She looked down and slipped back into her room before anyone could respond. Damo looked up at the others. "I don't remember her being that strong in her human form, or that fast." Reiver shook his head. "It's the werewolf. We need to keep an eye on her." He walked away from the group and into a small room for himself. OCC: The attachment is Nayomi's new look. Hope you all like it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I have to say that I agree with the Corgi statement, no offense but Chiuauas are more of a 'kick me' dog. lol. Yapping beani babies really. Corgi's are herding dogs that would sooner stand up to a bear than run away from it. They really do have just as much heart as a husky; so I consider them real dogs, but I am more a fan of bigger dogs my self. Like I said, Rotties are my all time fav, I've bred and raised them almost all my life. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Nayomi shifted and walked over to Sin looking him up and down and smelling him for blood. She nodded satisfied that he was alright. "I need you to do something for me Sin..." She showed him a picture of an underground facility. "This is our safe house in case something goes wrong, can you get Jinx and Louis there?" He nodded and grabbed a hold of Louis' shirt as well as Jinx's. Nayomi turned her back as Jinx protested and dissappeared into the darkness with the other two. Within moments he was back for the others, Nayomi shoved Reiver, Duke and the others into Sin's portal, as he began to teleport Nayomi stepped out and smiled as werewolves burst through the door, Duke yelled as they vanished. "Take me back Sin!" "I can't, she must've known that I would be to short on energy...I'm sorry Duke." He punched the wall and cursed loudly. Nayomi spoke through the ear piece to Duke privately. "If I survive this, I promise we'll finish what we started." The other's looked at him as he argued with her. "Why Nayomi?" "Your all are my family. I have to protect you. No matter what." They could hear her fighting over the ear piece. She shifted and faced the werewolves alone, growling dangerously, as they advanced she darted between them ripping out their throats or taking a leg or arm with her. They all cringed as they heard her scream. A werewolf held her above the floor, his claws digging into her ribs. She grunted and sank her fangs into the flesh of his arm, he howled and dropped her heavily. She winced as she heard a few ribs break sickeningly. Standing up she growled and faced them proudly. Jumping onto one's back she tore out the back of his neck and than bit down on the exposed flesh and began to shake her head from side to side violently making the beast scream in pain, she landed on her paws panting heavily. She let out a howl and charged back into the fight, yelping as another caught her across the back with its claws gouging her back deeply. She smelt her blood as is poured down her sides from the wound on her back. She shifted and kicked one in the face sending its head spinning around breaking its neck audibly, it was a half hour later when she was done. She spoke into the ear piece. "Sin, I t-think you should have enough to come get me..." She smiled as he showed up infront of her and gasped, she was covered in gashes but the one that scared him the most was the large one that ran from her right shoulder down her collar bone, close to her throat. He swallowed the lump in his throat and held her hand, transporting them to the underground armory. As they showed up Duke let out a cry of dismay as Jinx looked away. Reiver picked her up and carried her to the back room. "She's lost alot of blood, I dunno if I can heal all of this." "I can help with her blood." He looked at Duke and nodded, he looked back and frowned as the gash on her shoulder began to turn black. "Oh no..." "What?" "She was bitten..." She groaned and slipped further away. Riever looked around and began to hook her up to monitors and an IV. After she was stable and resting peacefully he sighed and wiped his hands from her blood. "All we can do now is wait and see what happens. We're safe here, no one but us know we're here. So everyone just rest up. Louis, Jinx, Damo, Sin. You all go to the room on the far right, theres food there that will replentish your energy." Duke looked at him. "How do you know all this?" "Nayomi and I made it." He walked out of Nayomi's room and into the main room of the building and sat down, closing his eyes he drifted into an exhausted sleep.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Nayomi sighed as he moved over her and kissed her neck, his body weight settling down on her. "Nayomi, are you sure?" "S-sure?" He chuckled a little and moved against her. "About this." She nodded and began to strip him of his pants when her lap top beeped at her from across the room. She groaned as he buried his face in her shoulder. "Leave it..." "I can't you know that...Commander'll have my head." She got up and wrapped her sheet around her and stood up, walking over to her desk she flipped it open and saw with horror their commander, blood covered and hanging on for life. "We need you back here imedeatly! I don't care how you do it! We're under attack they came at us so fast we- AHHHH!" Nayomi and Duke could only watch as the commander was yanked off the screen and blood sprayed from the direction he was pulled. Nayomi gasped. "I have to find Sin." "Why?" "He could warp us there." "He's not strong enough..." "Oh yes he is..." "Nayomi, look..." She looked at the screen to see a beast walk across it holding the now dead commander in it's large paw like hand. "Werewolves? I don't understand we had a treaty with them..." She growled as a grey skinned man sat in the seat wipeing blood of his hands. "You must be their precisous delta team...interesting." "Who are you?" "I am Sible...pleasure to meet you hybrid." Her eyes widened. "Why did you attack them?" "I am looking for the key to power the one to open the dark gate. I believe his name is Sin." She blinked. "Dark gate? Why Sin?" "The gate to release all the demons in the underworld. He is the one who was born of demon blood. He is the only one who can do it." She looked at Duke and then to her door as she heard a scream come from the lobby. "They have arrived for him." The screen went black and in mere moments Nayomi was dressed, shifted and breaking down the door as a large werewolf walked past. She looked up as one burst into flame. Jinx was standing outside Louis' door. She looked up at Duke and growled "Find Sin and protect him no matter what, just don't get bitten." He nodded and took off down the hall and turned as Nayomi yelled out to him. "Ice box!" He knew she meant the training room, not wanting to give it away to the enemy. She hunched down ready for a big fight, speaking into the ear piece she gave the orders. "Engage catiouosly. Do not get bitten. Sin you stay put and wait for Duke. Do not engage, I repeat Sin do not engage. Stay safe everyone." She howled and launched at a werewolf ripping out it's throat as the one next to her burst into flames. OCC: Alright, Sin I'm using your dream as a plot, hee hee. The mission at the moment is killing werewolves and protecting Sin. Have fun and cause chaos. *Laughs psychoticly*[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]OCC: I didn't do shit. lol Nayomi knew in the back o her mind it was to soon but her body didn't care. She moaned as Duke got with the program and began to run his hands all over her body. She ran her tounge across his chin and nipped him there lightly enticing another moan from him. "Mmm, Nayomi, I thought you wanted to wait. Not that I'm not enjoying this." She kissed his chest and trailed down his stomach making his breath hitch. "I dunno what's wrong with me, I just can't seem to stop." He put his hands on her shoulders and tried to push her up into a sitting position but groaned as she bit down on his left wrist, not enough to hurt him but enough to leave teeth marks. "I don't want to stop either." "Y-you don't think we're rushing this a bit?" She paused looking up at him, the top of his pants held in her teeth making him that more aroused. She let go looking guilty for a moment and sat up. "Your right, your totally right...we are rushing it a bit..." She tucked her knees to her chest and sat back on her bed, her breathing heavy and her cheeks flushed. "Nayomi I didn't mean...I mean I just though. Look, I'm sorry." "It's fine. I kinda understand why you wouldn't want to, after all I am kind of an animal...that would be a little weird." "It's not that Nayomi not at all. I just want to know it's what you want." She looked at him, her eyes glazed by what she was doing and slightly by tears. "If it wasn't I wouldn't have been doing it." He nodded and went to kiss her cheek only to have her turn her head and kiss him deeply. This time it was him who pushed her back onto the bed. She growled lightly and bit into his neck, this time not to lightly, he groaned as she licked the blood that was trickling from the bite. "You realize I'm going to scar when you do that right?" "That's the point. Now everyone will know your mine and mine alone." "Hmph, as if anyone really wondered." She laughed her rare laugh that only he had heard and kissed him deeply letting him taste his own blood. "I love you." "Love you too." She moaned as he moved against her, his hands roaming and his mouth traveling down her neck.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Courier New"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Reiver smiled and closed his eyes within seconds the room was freezing cold and the walls were frosting over. In the showers Nayomi yelped as the shower suddenly turned cold. "What the hell?" She felt the hair on the back of her neck prickle and shuddered. "Oh no...I think I know what's going on..." She jumped out of the shower wrapping her towel around her and sprinted down the hall passing Damo. "Sorry!" She hit the door to the training room hard and cursed as he skin stuck to it momentarily. Having read Reiver's file she knew he could manipulate ice, he had taken to this talent so well that he was even able to take the moisture in the air and freeze it making any room an ice box in seconds. She pounded on the door and yelped as she toppled into the room. "Damnit!" She stood up and grabbed the towel around her alittle tighter. "What the hell are you doing Reiver?! Your gonna freeze the whole damn building." He blinked and pointed at her towel. "What?" She looked down and realized with utter humiliation that the towel had stuck to the frozen floor and half of it had ripped off. Her cheeks flamed and she backed up into a corner and sat on her feet mumbling to her self. She huffed and shifted into her wolf form, she stood up and hunched down ready to tackle one of them, she growled and charged at the two of them, Reiver blinked as he dodged her charge. "What has gotten into you?!" Turning around he saw her grab a hold of Duke's shirt and flip him onto her back, before he could argue with her she dashed out of the room, down the hall and into her room. Shifting back she laughed as he gave her a weird look. "What? I'm tired and I don't want to sleep alone tonight." She turned around, her back to him and pulled to towel off, looking over her shoulder and smiled as she saw him looking her up and down. "Enjoying the view Duke?" [/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Nayomi cleared her throat and smiled sweetly as the two young men looked at her. Suddenly the smiled was gone and she was growling at the both of them. "This team, including me, us exahausted. I will not let our little squabble involve them. If you two want to battle it out go ahead. But know this, Reiver if you win, I won't go back to you and Duke if you win, you won't be impressing me at all. Got it?" She stood up and walked out of the kitchen still growling softly. Reiver looked at Duke, his eyes wide. "I think we may have upset her, you?" Duke put his face in his elbow on the table and confirmed Reiver's statement. "You think?" Reiver propped his arm on the table and put his chin in his hand. After a moment he sighed and stood up. "Where do you think your going? You wanted to train." "I think I should go and speak with her first." "Um...No." Reiver didn't listen and walked off after Nayomi, knocking on her door he gaped as she stared at him, her eyes yellow and slitted; fangs bared. "What?" "I wanted to apologize." "You just did, now leave." "Nay-" "Reiver, you have 5 seconds to leave my doorway or you'll have a missing arm." "Be reasonable, please." She scratched her neck and sighed, leaning on the door way she was in her work out clothes which were a pair of tight spandex shorts that were black and a black sports bra, black no finger gloves and her i-pod. "I was not trying to prove anything I can assure you-" "Reiver, yes you were, but so was Duke... You have to stop, mostly if we're working together." "I find I can not. My heart is still yours. I still love you, I always have." Nayomi sighed unaware that Duke was leaning on the wall around the corner. "Look Reiver, I do love you, more than you'll ever know; but-" "Than there is no reason for us not to be together." Nayomi put her hand on his chest as he moved to step into her room. "Oh no. There is a big reason. Duke." "An immature boy." "Whom I love with all my heart Reiver. My love for you will alway be there. But its not the same as your's. Reiver, I love Duke and I will not let you try and talk me out of it." "Nayomi, I don't know what to say..." "Say you respect that and just want me happy." "I-I do respect that and I do want you happy" "Good...Now please go and let me be." He nodded slowly, clearly hurt. Sighing she reached into her room and pulled out her towel and headed to the showers for a hot relaxing shower. She closed her door and headed down the hall knowing that Duke was most likely on his way to talk to her as well. She just hopped it went better with Duke than it did with Reiver.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]She walked into the kitchen looking at Sin, the small event a moment ago replaying *"You know I'm messing right? I would never force you to do anything Nayomi." "I know Duke." She wallked over and kissed him hungerly, he let out a low moan and pulled her close, his hands running over her body. Feeling the tingle she pulled away slowly. "I'm getting hungry, I'll be back in a few."* Now she was in the kitchen sniffing around the cabnite looking for a bite to eat. She looked up as Sin moan, his hand to his forehead. "Hey youngster, you alright?" He looked up, his eyes glazed over from pain. "Here lemme get you something to help." She handed him a cup of water and a couple of pain killers. "Should kick in in a few moments. Till then you wanna share a meal with me?" "Sure, maybe food will help." "Perhaps." "What are you fixing?" "Not a damn clue..." Opening the fridge she spotted a large pack of steaks and grabbed it. "Steak alright with you?" He nodded and she went to work cooking the steak perfectly, it wasn't long till they were eatting tender steak and talking to each other. "This is really goo Nayomi, where did you learn to cook?" "Before I became what I am now I was a chef. So that's where it comes from." "That's really cool." "How's your head?" "Better thanks." "No problem. You know sleep would most likely help as well." "Yeah your right, guess I'll go and try to get some more sleep." She smiled and patter his shoulder as he walked by. She propped her chin in her hand and sighed. She had a family now and was happy. She tensed as she felt a familiar hand on her shoulder. "Nay, you should not have just walked out in the middle of a talk." "Reiver, there is nothing to talk about anymore. I told you what I needed to tell you end of story." "Well than, can I at least join you for a bite if nothing else? I always did love your cooking." She smiled and turned looking at him. "Sure, guess there's no harm in it." She giggled as he bit into a hot piece of steak and spit it out just as fast. "It is hot Reiver. My gosh, has it been that long since you've had a decent meal?" "Honestly? Yeah." She shook her head and stood up, pulling off her shirt she tied the apron around her to cover her self and went about cooking a small meal for him. "I must say, I always did love the way you wear that thing." "Reiver..." "I know I know." She threw a paper towel in his face and smiled. "Is there really no hope for us Nay? We used to be just like this before." "Yeah I know, before, but it's now and I do love you, but not that way anymore, I moved on Reiver, I told you that. We can still be good friends if thats alright with you?" He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek before sitting down. "That's fine. As long as I get to spend time with you." She nodded and continued cooking.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I just got the pet I've always wanted all my life for mother's day, I got a young ferret an she is proving to be one of my favorite pets. I've had all kinds of pets and I have to say so far dogs and my ferret are my favorites. So I was wondering what are the favorite pets of the people on here. As far as dogs go, I love Rottwilers.

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.' THE INDIAN WITH ONE TESTICLE There once was an Indian who had only one testicle, and whose given name was 'Onestone'. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone. After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said, "If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!" The word got around and nobody called him that any more. Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, "Good morning, Onestone." He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion. The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away. Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged him and said, "Good to see you, Onestone." Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die! What is the moral of this story?????........................... OH, Come on...take a guess! Think about it... And the moral is... You can't kill two birds with one stone!! Almost eight years ago I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched, as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power. At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W. Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched the Clintons board Air Force One for the last time. I saw 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing president and first lady. It was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated under the Clinton Administration. Every one of them missed. A boy and girl had been dating for a while and he was finally going to meet her parents, she told him that because it was so special she was going to have sex with him for the first time afterwards. So he went to the drug store down the road and bought condoms, not knowing what to get he asked the pharmacist at the counter to explain it. "Well what is going on?" "My girlfriend wants to have sex for the first time tonight." He nodded and explained everything to the young man. "Well do you want to single pack or the box?" The young man thought told him the box it being his first time he was expecting to be at it for a while. Paying for the condoms he went home and got ready for that night, later at his girlfriends house they sat down for dinner and asked him to say grace. He nodded and bowed his head and began to pray. 10 minutes later he was still in prayer... 30 minutes later his head was still bowed... finally after 45 minutes his girlfriend leaned over and whispered. "I never knew you were so religious." "I never knew your dad was a pharmacist..." And finally... Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level of Insanity. 1.

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Bravie's roar rolled through the trees as she took off running on all fours, her nails extending like deadly claws and her eyes centering in on her target. She ran beside one of the wolves speaking with him. "How many? That's cocky of them, not that many. They'll regret that." She leaped over a fallen log and roared as a wire caught her left leg, lifted into the air her head smacked against a tree. She looked down at the other two. "Just go, I'll catch up." They nodded and ran ahead, reaching up she cut the wire holding her and landed on her feet gently. "Come on out, I know your there." "Interesting, a half breed can speak." She growled low in her throat and jumped aside as he shot at her with a small pistol. She charged at him and knocked him down and over the hill growling the whole time.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Bravie looked at Kizuna and nodded, she jumped down and walked to her tent and came back out with a hand full of meat strips, she looked at Taie as he came into camp. "We need to leave." "Why?" They all looked at her, she hardly talked and when she did it was shocking. "I found a GUK box in the clearing near here. If we stay much longer they'll find us." She spoke through the meat strip she had been chewing on. "They already know where we are, otherwise they would not have sent the other men that came here earlier." He looked at her and than the others. "That's not the point, they'll send more this time." "And we will kill them this time as well, it is not a big deal. We are stronger, faster, and we give no quarter. Unlike them." She turned and went back into her tent before he could reply, her voice coming from it. "It is not our choice, Madie is our leader, it is her choice if we flee or fight." [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Nayomi moaned softly before she sighed. "Duke, this is great and all, but I still have to report." He exhaled and buried his face in her shoulder. "Yeah I know, but I have to other wise I'll be assigned another job, and I don't want to end up cleaning the toilets." He nodded and let her up. "You still have the vid feed on your lap top?" "Uh, yeah, why?" "So I can just do it from here." Standing up she walked over to his laptop and began to type on it quick;y. He leaned down and looked at the screen. "You know this reminds me of that one show you used to watch all the time, what was it?" "Gundam Wing?" "Yeah that one. Where that guy was always typing and his buddy was looking over his shoulder." "Yeah but they were friends not lovers." She stopped as the words left her mouth. "Oh really?" "I mean..." "No, you already said it, you said it, you called us lovers." "We haven't even done anything yet." "You still said it." She sighed and looked up at him frowning, he smiled down at her till the vid feed beeped at them. "HQ" "This is Beta team, Nayomi reporting." "Any casualties?" "None, some injuries but nothing threatening." "Did the healer get there as instructed." "Y-yes. He arrived fine..." "Good he will be working with your team from now on, is that satisfactory." She took a deep breath. "Yes, it is" "Good, and the cult?" "deposed of." "The priest?" "I was forced to kill him, he gave me no choice." "Fine, you will all be debriefed and questioned when you return. We will see you tomorrow." The screen went black, Nayomi put her face in her hands and sighed. This was going to get alot harder with Reiver in the mix now. She felt the chair lean back and opened her eyes to see Duke looking down at her. "So about that lover comment..." "Duke..." "Hey I was just gonna ask if you meant it." She closed her eyes and smiled. "Yes, I did, eventually." She opened her eyes to see him smiling. "What?" "Sounds like a good plan to me." "Duke, can we at least wait till we get home for gods sake?" "Why, thats no fun." She rolled her eyes and stood up, she looked back as he grabbed her arm gently.[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]"Good cause you know I can track you right?" He blinked as shr raised her head and smiled. "Thought I was asleep?" "Yeah, I did." "Look Duke, I just talked to Reiver-" She blinked as he stood up. "I knew it..." "Knew what?" "Let me guess you love him and because of that you can't be with me." "Yes I love him Duke, we were married once, but that was a long time ago. Will you listen to me?" He looked at her and she could tell she only had a few minutes before he went off again. "Look, yes I love him, yes he'll always be in my heart, but I'm not the same person he married. I'm different and so is he." "What if he gets commissioned with us?" "What if he does? Duke, it's not going to change anything. I'll still be with you." "How do we know you won't fall in love with him again?" "Duke, shut up." "I mean it Nayomi how do we know?" She shook her head. "Will you just trust me?" He opened his mouth to make another statement, but before he could she jumped off his bed, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. "Trust me Duke, and if you can't trust that trust us. I didn't mark you for no reason." "Mark me?" She licked the small spot where she had bitten him before. "Why do you think it hasn't healed? I marked you for a reason Duke and it wasn't to leave you." She kissed him again and than licked his bottom lip. "I love you Duke." She looked up at him, her cheeks red. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]OCC: Alright. This mission is taking alittle longer than I wanted it to, so J.B, Sin, Kai, and Jinx, I would like you all to notice your new powers in training when we get home. As of now finish up your posts with the cult and get back to the hotel. Thanks! Nayomi sat on her bed looking at the rings on her finger when there was a knock on her door. She got up and answered the door regretting it as soon as she opened the door. "Reiver..." "Nayomi, glad to see your well." She nodded. "You gonna let me in?" She swallowed and nodded, moving back she sat back down on her bed aware that Duke's room was next to hers and the walls weren't all that thick. "So, how have you been Nay?" She took a deep breath and looked at him. "Well I've been doing good I suppose." "That's good. You look beautiful." She smiled. "Thanks." "Nice fangs. Is that what they did to you?" She nodded and looked up at him. "How did you survive the explosion? They told me you were dead." "No, they took me to Russia. I've been trying to find you since. I see you kept your rings on. I'm glad." "I see your is gone." "I had to pawn it for ticket money, Nayomi,trust me I didn't want to." "Its alright Reiver. I'm glad your alright." "You seem distant. Do you resent me now?" "No...I don't its just..." "Just?" "I met some one esle while you were gone.." "I see...what does that mean about us than?" "I don't know Reiver..." "Nayomi, you know I love you, I'd do anything for you." She nodded. "I love you too, you've always had my heart...ever since we got married. But its just Duke..." "The blood controler?" "Yes...we've known each other so long..." "Nayomi...if its what you want I won't stop you." She stood up and walked to the window. "I don't know what I want." "Well can I at least have one night with you?" "Reiver...I don't know.." "Nayomi, if you choose him, please let me spend just one night." "Wait, I have to choose between you two?" "What do you mean, you can't have us both." "I know, but what makes you think that I'll be chooseing between you?" "I don't understand." "Well let me put it this way, I love you Reiver, but I moved on when I though you were dead, I put you in my past." "But-" "No, Reiver. It wouldn't be fair to Duke." "Nayomi, I'm not asking anything special." She shook her head and kissed his cheek. "I can't Reiver." He turned his head to look at her. "Fine." She went to kiss his cheek again when he tilted his head so their lips met, pulling her close and kissed her deeply. She put her hands on his chest and pushed away. "Reiver. I said no." She moved past him and out the door, she leaned on hers and took a deep breath, she walked down the hall and knocked on Duke's door, when he didn't answer she tried the knob and found it locked. Taking a hair pen from her hair she picked the lock expertly and opened the door; she closed the door behind her and walked over to his bed, without saying anything she laid down next to him and put her head on his chest she closed her eyes and relaxed[/FONT][/COLOR]
