(My) *HIDDEN* [secret]

"I failed to protect you when you where dragged down to hell, i did every thing in my power!" Zumi exclaimed.

The Empress' eyes harden more and more, into an intensity never seen before, like a hungering flame. Before anyone has the oppurtunity to stop her she has dashed forward and slugged him a hard punch sending him to the ground.
"Coward! Look him in the eyes! Look him in the eyes and confess!" she roars, kicking on his head in anger. Zora tries to stop her, but is slapped aside with a burning mark on her cheek from the hard slap.

zumi looked kodiak in the eys. "I swear that's the mistiake i know of failing to protect zora!"
kodiak narrowed his eyes. he could tell zumi was telling the truth, but something more was in play here.

The Empress kicks him again, this time in the stomach.
"Liar! You should know better than to lie to yourself! Tell him the truth now! Tell him the uncomfortable truth!" she shouts furiously, a glint of amost madness appearing in her eye.
"Come on! Save the little pride and honesty you may have left and tell him!"

"He's not lieing, as much as i hate to admit it that apears to be the only mistake he knows. how ever i know something elts is amiss here." kodiak explained walking away from zumi to think.

The Empress grabs his shoulder and turns him around roughly, staring into his eyes hatefully.
"He is lying! I just want you to know that!" she says and turn back around, once again trying to walk away.

Empress since i don;t know what hapened between my time and when we showed up we need you to tell us. ive heard zumi now i need to hear your side." Kodiak explained calmly.

The Empress throws another hateful stare to him.
"Make me." she whispers challenging as she turns back around to walk away.

"Forgive me but you wont walk out of here." Kodiak stated his eyes beomeing lizard like slits.
zumi saw this and scooted back scared he knew what was about to happen.

The Empress rolls her eyes, she too knowing what is happening.
"Whatcha gonna do, roast me alive until I can't even talk no matter how I want it?" she asks dryly. Clearly this puts no fear in her heart.

"No i said you wouldn;t leave this room i never said any thing about hurting you." Kodiak responded as he walked between the emperes and the exit.

((They're outside))

The Empress gives a laughter as she sits down crossing her legs and arms.
"Okay! I can stay here if it's what you want!" She closes her eyes, like as if falling into meditation and sitting completely still.

(How was i suposed to know that?)
Kodiak sighed. "As i know you can still here me, here's my guess, some where along the line zumi messes up, posably some time after a child was conseved, after that something hapened, and this future hapenes, after the child died." Kodiak's voice was grim as zumi gaped he had frogoten about how he used to be able to figure things out from simple clues.

((Well hard to remember but the Empress appeared just befoe they wwere to slam the castle walls))

The Empress seems unmoved. The locks of hair over her forehead cover her eyes, therefore there is no sign of tears as they are caught up by the hair before falling into sight. Zora bites her lip, everything seems like too much right now.

(oh yeah)
Kodiak sighed as he watched drops of water hit the ground, he knew he was getting some where. "Now please if not for your self then how about your son? don't you want to hold your child in your arms?"

Crackles are heard as fists are clenched. She now does not only have to hold back her tears, but she also has to fight hard to stay still as her body screams for shaking in sobs. She can't allow this however. She forces her eyes firmly shut, closing out all emotions like she always has, and soon all small signs of emotion are gone. Zora however suddenly starts hearing the melody again, the same melody that has been haunting her for all the past weeks, or months, that they have been here.
"What is that melody? What does it come from?" she asks herself in a bit of an inner panic.

"It's to late i know my words are penerateing your bariors your actions just proved it. you aren't as emotionless as you would like." kodiak continued.
zumi watched in wonder, maybe this is what was needed the young five tailed guardian, not afraid of saying the right words."

However the Empress does not answer, and it would seem Kodiak was wrong as she appears to have been able to put the barriers back up again. She lifts her head, opening her tearless eyes. She shows nothing in her face as she looks to them and rises up.
"Look just let me leave now." she says calmly.
"IT can't help anyway. When someone committs a sin one knows is wrong, it won't help warning them for it."

Kodiak shook his head. "No because maybe a warning is what's needed, compare me to zumi, you can see the diference, aside from the dark blade i'm tainted by no sin. nor do i want to be, a warning can change every thing."

The Empress shakes her head.
"I don't want to talk about it." she says again.
"If it's a warning you need, I'll give you the one advice to be patient and wait. This jerk Zumi couldn't." She glares at Zumi angrily.

"Wait on what?" kodiak narowed his dragon eyes, "the puzzle doesn't fit yet, and posibly because there is sort of a bond between me and zumi, or he is better at hiding emotians then i am at reading them but i think he's told all he knows, and i know that some where your emotians want out your tears proved it."

A flare of anger passes the eyes of the Empress as she looks down to the ground.
"I said I don't want to talk about it! You'll know what I mean with 'wait' once the time comes!" she answers very shortly.

"And is i don't this mess will repeat, and every one, will suffer, you the most." kodiak responded shortly.

"Correction, my past will." she answers coldly.
"It's too late to save me from the suffering now. Else than that, you are correct. Don't wait and it won't slve either." she says.

"Wrong, it's not to late. every one deserves a second chance, i know that better then most during my time and you should too."
zumi stood. "He's right i my not deserve one from you but i beleive you deserve a second chance!"
