Martel froze and looked at Lust. The Homunculus usually just ignored the chimera, so this was strange. "Yeah, I'm okay.....Why do you want to know?"

"I agree with Dante." Scar put in as he appeared in the doorway. He'd tended to his minor cut and had found a bruise he hadn't noticed before. STrange how some wounds never go noticed untill later. 'Thats why I'm getting out of here as soon as possible...' he thought.
"I heard DAhlia crying, is she allright?" he asked his lover. "Better yet, are you allright?" If Yoki ever showed his sleezy face here again, Scar would pound his fist into it.

Rose had come downstairs when she heard the ambulance coming, placing Cain into his crib. When she saw Scar, she went over to him. "Please...can you tell me what happened?" the Holy Mother asked the warrior priest.

"We're fine, thanks," Dante answered with a small smile. In truth, she was still a bit flustered over the incident and had a bit of a headache, but decided not to bring it up. After all, she was sure Scar had enough on his mind.
Dahlia laughed happily and reached out to her father when she saw him at the doorway. Her mother smiled at this. "Looks like someone's happy to see you."
When Rose appeared, Dante was mildly surprised. She hadn't seen the woman since she took over her body and tried to open the Gate.

"Lady Dante....can you please tell me what happened? I was busy upstairs with Cain" Rose explained to the ancient woman. It was true. Cain had been rather fussy that day, and it had taken her several hours to get him to take his nap.

"To put it simply, that disgusting brute Yoki sexually assaulted me," Dante told her simply, crossing her legs. It surprised her that Rose didn't seem to be harboring any resentment against her.

Rose frowned. She had been sexually assulted by the soldiers under the command of General Haruko during the attack on Lior. She never wanted that to happen to anyone else.
A loud cry came from upstairs. "I'll get that" Martel sighed, knowing it was one of her children. That was the only problem with having twins- whenever one woke up, there was the possibility of the other being awoken by the screams.

"But he's behind bars now, so there's nothing to worry about," Dante told her languidly, closing her eyes. Her headache seemed to be getting worse by the second, which wasn't helped by the fact that her daughter was yipping again.

A moment later, Martel came downstairs with Nikolai in her arms. The boy was both awake and chewing enthusastically on a Barbie doll, which aready had it's head pulled off. He seemed rather calm, until he saw Rose. Instantly, the small boy's violet eyes widened and he lost his mouth-grip one the plastic toy, staring at the pink-haired woman.

Dante leaned back in her chair and gently rocked Dahlia, wondering if duct-taping her daughter's mouth shut could be considered child abuse. She opened her eyes, and frowned when she saw Nikolai was staring at Rose in fear. Apparently he was still afraid of Rose for what she did while in her body.

Rose, not noticing the look of fear in the child's eyes, stepped a little closer to Nikolai. However, she paused when she noticed that he was barely breathing or blinking, but shuddering somewhat violently. His breaths came in short sobs. "What's the matter?" Rose asked, reaching out to touch the child. The moment her fingertips touched his cheek, Nikolai let out a terrified shreik and burried his head into Martel's shoulder, still shuddering and sobbing softly.

Dante sighed softly when she heard Nikolai let out a terrified shriek. She couldn't help but feel a little empathy for Rose, even though she was nothing more than a worthless human. After all, Nikolai's hatred for her was entirely her fault.
Noticing how terrified her friend was, Dahlia began to cry and flail her limbs about. Dante cradled her gently and hushed her cries, trying to avert her attention away from Rose and Nikolai.

"What's wrong?" Rose asked, about to reach out to the child again. But, thinking of how he reacted the last time, she paused. Children had always loved her, never feared her. Why did this little boy seem so afraid of her? She decided to go upstairs to ponder this.
The moment Rose left, Nikolai calmed down, going back to gnawing on the headless doll.

Dahlia calmed down the moment Nikolai stopped crying. She looked at the door suspiciously, afraid that Rose was going to come back and upset her little friend.
Wanting to get her mind off the entire situation, Dante rose from her chair and headed toward her garden. It had been a while since she checked on it, and she was sure Dahlia would love the colorful flowers.

Terri MacRustle knocked softly on the gate of the backyard. By her side were Bon-Jovie and Charlene from the Styx.

Hearing the knock, Dante walked over to the gate. "Hello, can I help you?" she asked, shifting Dahlia into her left arm and unhinging the lock with her right.
Dahlia, seeing the strangers, began yipping wildly, much to her mother's embarrassment.

"Hey. I'm Terri MacRustle- Kevin and Kyle's older sister?" Terri introduced herself. "I was just wondering if my brothers were here. Cause, I know Kevin hangs out with Arden a lot and Kyle comes over here sometimes too".
Bon-Jovie and Charlene smiled and tickled Dahlia under her chin as Terri spoke to Dante.

Scar nodded to Rose when she had appeared, but didn't speak as she was in conversation with Dante almost instantly. Instead, he went to prepare dinner. Things were becoming even more hellish around here.... "Soon." he muttered. "Soon I'll get out of here..."
With dinner heating on the stove, he thought he might free Dante from their daughter. However, getting near, he heard what she said. Silent for a moment, he simply slipped away before he could be noticed. Turning the stove on low and leaving a note that said he had to take care of something, Scar was soon on his motorcycle headed towards the hospital. There was going to be hell to pay.

Dante frowned lightly when she brought up Kevin and Kyle. Did she not know about what happened? It seemed like it. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid neither are here. Last time I checked, they were both at the hospital with your parents."

Terri took a sip of Gatorade and choked when she heard Dante mention the hospital. "Why?" she asked, sounding worried. "Did something happen to them?"
