Ignis jumped off the couch when he heard the words 'Serenity will not be hurt'. Ignis grew angry and pushed past Mai in rage not even talking to her. "If you harm one hair on her body then I promise that I will kill you right now on the spot!" Ignis yelled to them.
The door burst open and came more of Mai's imperial guards as they secured the appartment. Mai's mother then stepped in and said "Leave my daughter alone and your sister will be unharmed.". Mai's mother then clicked her fingers telling the guards to bring they're hostage into the room and show Ignis they weren't joking.

The guards hauled the girl inside the room, throwing her to the round harshly. Mai saw the girl, and grew more angry than she had before. It was all her fault. If she hadn't gotten tea that fateful day; none of this would have happened. It'd be all normal. This girl wouldn't of ever been harmed. Mai moved quickly, so much so she was a blur, to her mothers side.
"Leave them alone! They didn't do anything! I get it, you hate me, fine! It isn't their fault I'm horrible! They'll leave me alone, just let them go!" Mai said hatefully to her mother. Mais mother ignored her completely, turning to Ignis. "Leave my daughter alone and you'll never be bothered again." Mais mother spat.

Serenity squeled when she hit the floor roughly. She was only thirteen. She felt like she was going to tear up because she was scared. Ignis rushed to Serenity's side and hugged her. "Ssh, Sssh, it's going to be ok Serenity I promise." Ignis whispered to her, calming her down and stroking her. Ignis felt like he was going to tear up seeing his sister in fear.
Ignis got up and shouted to Mai's mother. "If you harm my sister again, you'll pay with your life!!" Ignis shouted enraged. "I'll never give up Serenity or Mai! I love them both!" Ignis said. Mai's mother grew angry and clicked her fingers. The guards roughly grabbed hold of Serenity and bound her with some rope and pushed her onto the couch. She was terrified and nearly crying. Tears fell from Ignis' eyes as he became more and more angry. "I'll never leave them both! So what are you going to do?" Ignis said to Mai's mother looking at her in the eye.

The guards surrounded Mai and pushed her to the wall as soon as she started to reach for her kimono, making Mai curse loudly in her mind and struggle underneath their hands, while more guards held Ignis by the arms, keeping him still. Mais mother paced throughout the room for several moments. It was all silent other than the peoples shallow breathing, waiting for the womans verdict.
"You'll never leave them? Is that so?" Mais mother said in a sickly sweet tone, stopping at the edge of the room with a twisted smile, her back turned to the children. She span around, at the same time pulling out her ruby encrusted knife, moving in blur towards Ignis and holding the blade to his neck, pushing harder. "I'm afraid you will have to leave my daughter one way or another. By your own will or... by force." Her mother pushed the blade even harder to his skin.

Ignis waited for the wicked woman's awnser. Then she took a knife to his neck and pushed harder. Ignis closed his eyes and squinted them now and again from the pain. Ignis began to sweat and gave an occasional gasp from the pain. "Mai..Sorry for this.." Ignis said to her, not looking at her, just in case his throat was accidently slit.
Serenity was scared and crying almost uncontrollably in fear. Ignis breathed in carefully and then let out a blast of fire from his mouth and into Mai's Mother's chest. She screamed as she was blasted back, a gaping black mark on her dress. Guards rushed to her to put the fire out on her dress. Ignis then bent his head back and did the same again blasting back two of the guards. Ignis then shot several blasts of fire at the other guards until they were unconciouss. Only Mai's mother was left after Ignis had untied Serenity and freed Mai. Serenity was still crying in fear. "Mai calm down my sister, while I attend to something..." Ignis said as he stood over Mai's mother with an emotionless though clearly enraged face.

Once Mai was free - though she was positive she could of got out of in a second anyway - she did as she was told, moving over to Serenity. Mai let Serenity out of her bonds, holding Serenity close to her and shushing her gently. "It's going to be alright. Your brother's going to take care of it. Shush now, it's all fine..." Mai soothed her reassuringly.
Mais mother was the farthest thing from calm. Her knife had slid away up the floor at her hands flew up and was nowhere to be seen. Though her chest stung badly, She straightened up and brushed some hair away from her face. The guards had ran away like the cowardly scum they were. Mais mother would attend to that later.
"So, what are you going to do, boy? Try and take down me?" Mais mother purred, letting out a pleasant musical laugh at the end. "Well, if you want to fail, come and try."

Serneity hugged Mai, not sure what exactly sure what was happening. She just new Mai was someone who would protect her. Serenity was holding on to Mai like an older sister. She whimpered for a bit but soon stopped her crying and nodded when Mai said about staying calm.
"No I'm not going to fight you.." Ignis said. "The reason why..I pitty you.. You think you can control people and you think your doing what's best for your daughter, Well your not! Mabye you should let her have her own choice for once in her life!" Ignis said to the cruel woman. "If you weren't Mai's mother, I would slay you where you stand right now!" Ignis said, creating a blade made of fire and super heat. Ignis held it to her neck as he said the last ten words of the sentence. When he had finished he dissapated the sword and left her. Ignis came to Serenity and sat by her, crying himself seeing his little sister like this. "Thank you Mai.." Ignis said, tears now visible in his eyes. Serenity let go of Mai and clinged onto Ignis tightly and nuzzled him affectionatly for protection. "Ssh, Ssh..It's going to be ok Sis..." Ignis said caring for her.

"Who are you to judge my parenting? You think you could do better? Look at my daughter! She's beautiful, perfect in every way, and very happy. And you think you can just come into her life? You aren't even in the upper class! You're just a commoner!" Mais mother spat at the boy she considered foolish. Mais mother started out the door, but froze solid when Mai rose off the couch, scowling at the woman she called her mother.
"You think... I'm happy." Mai said slowly, not believing. "You think. I'm happy." She repeated. Mais mother turned around to look at her daughter. "Yes. You are. You have everything you want, and more. A loving father, an adorable little baby brother, a mother who's sacrificed everything for you. Just look at what I do for you!" Mais mother swept one arm through the air as she talked, jabbing it through the air as if to prove her point and acting like she actually did Mai a favor by giving her a sheltered life, trying to fix her up to be something she hated.
"Just look at what you do for me? Well, why not? You ruin my life, mother. All of my friends, not good enough. Me, not good enough. My choices, never good enough. I'm not some doll you can pick up at the market, mother! I'm not your toy! I'm not a child either. So do this for me. Leave me and my friends alone or I swear I will kill you. That isn't a request. That's an order. Now leave before I will have to force you." Mai said in a rather emotionless tone, though her face was metal and her eyes steely and harsh.
Mais mother looked taken aback, even horrified. She opened her mouth to yell, but Mai silenced her by pulling out her daggers in a flash. Mais mother gasped and glared at her daughter, turning off and out of the door and down the pathway. Mai slumped her shoulders when her mother was gone ,walking to the doorway and outside of it, slumping down by the wall, burying her face in her hands. She was so ashamed, she couldn't even bare to look at herself. She couldn't even think. Her throat was tight.
A guy had actually liked her, for once - and how did she repay him? By having her physco mother threaten and abuse his little sister, as well as come in and destroy his house and leave a mark that could never be erased. She felt like she was about to choke as her throat grew tighter.

Ignis watched the events unfold as the mother and daughter clashed briefly. Ignis covered her sister's eyes and ears, just wanting her to relax and have some peace. Serenity was seriously mentally stricken by this. She might be better in a week mabye. She had been kidnapped, abused and threatened with death.
"Big Bro?...Is it over?" Serenity asked peeking one of her eyes out. "Yeah sis, it is..I'll always be here to protect you Sis!" Ignis said hugging her sister as she hugged him back. Serenity was tired and had calmed down now but she was definately disturbed from today's events. "Serenity, you go to bed now and relax, I just need to talk to Mai for a second, ok?" Ignis said in a soft and assuring voice, that he wouldn't be long. He then kissed her sister on the forehead as she got up. Serenity than walked up to Mai before giving her an tight hug and a nuzzle before releasing her and saying to her "Bye..", before giving a small wave and returning to her bedroom. When the door was shut Ignis went up to Mai and hugged her. "Thank you for looking after my sister..She's all that I have of my family." Ignis said.

Mai didn't return the hug but instead stared at her feet, looking away from him, her eyes pained and her expression that of pain. She felt tense and her stomach twisted and untwisted, her eyes stinging. Mai finally looked up to Ignis, feeling her low lip tremble. "If it wasn't for me your sister would of been completely fine. And so would of you. You would of been completely fine if it wasn't for me. And maybe you'd be with Ty Lee and have a happy and normal life." Mai said quietly.
"If it wasn't just for me and my insane mother." Mai added even more quietly, feeling as if she were going to cry, but she held the tears back. The last thing she needed was to start crying. They welled up in her eyes, but never spilled over the lids. She'd controlled the ability to refrain from crying a long time ago.

Ignis just had to say this. "Mai, how do you know for sure, that what's just happened could definatly have been prevented?" Ignis said. "We all don't know what could or couldn't have happened." Ignis said trying to reason with her. "Look..Serenity needs me for the time because of someone and it would really help me, if you could bear with me on this." Ignis said.
"I am eternally gratefull you didn't just cast me out and I'm even more gratefull that you cared for my baby sister." Ignis added. He then sighed. "Mai, I love you and it's not your fault." Ignis said in an emotionless though soothing tone.

You know, just about anyone else on the face of the planet would of agreed with Mais last statement. Anyone else would of just blow her off, tell her to go away, that she wasn't welcome. Her whole life she had been told she wasn't good enough, that she was an imperfection. So when he told her he was grateful, she was shocked beyond reason. When he told her he loved her, she could of done backflips. But instead, she did something even she didn't see coming.
She kissed him.

Ignis' eyes widened when Mai kissed him, but soon they closed and Ignis hugged Mai at the same as they kissed. Ignis then let go of the kiss but then kissed her for another five seconds more before letting go again. Ignis hugged Mai again. "I love you..and like Serenity, I'll never let you go..." Ignis said to Mai.

She turned the top part of her body a little to the side so she could lay her head lightly against his chest and then she put her hand right next to her face. Closing her eyes, she felt like everything was going to be okay for once. "I think...." Mai began quietly, then stopping her flow of speech. She was quiet for several moment afterwords, her mind peaceful and almost numb. "I love you, too." Mai said quietly, almost feeling odd. She'd never really said 'I love you' before.

Ignis let go of Mai for a second. "One second." Ignis said walking to the door of Serenity's bedroom. Ignis slowly opened part of the door and peeked in. There he saw Serenity, sleeping like a cat. Ignis smiled and then slowly and gently shut the door. Ignis then walked back to Mai. "Mai, I understand the difficulties your going through now and I will stand by you the whole time!" Ignis said to her.
"Your welcome to stay here as long as you need." Ignis said to her. "We have one spare bedroom." He added.
