Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well who says I'm going to hurt you!" Rajin yelled raising his arms to the ceiling. The idea of the ifrit hurting was beyond thinkable. Not really though. Just a minute ago, he was contemplating hitting her. the the lamia told that she was just unable to return love. This was just unfathomable to the ifrit. How and why could she not love him back? It made no sense to him. What was preventing her from doing it? Was he just some walking heat she could also use for sex? Was that it? Then, the necklace. Rajin watched in steaming anger as Krynn made a futile attempt to remove the necklace. "The necklace doesn't do anything!" Rajin bellowed, practically shaking the room. He voice had to have been all throughout the villa. "It's just some accursed piece of a jewelry that flies to you, whenever you try to take it off. No one aside from genies, and people who know about ancient ifrit tradition know what that necklace means. It's not like they know it means your married. You can still go out and do whatever the hell you want, with whoever you want. It means nothing!" The genie was almost setting the room on with his anger. He headed for the door, stomping with each step. He ripped the door off it's hinges and tossed it aside. "Out of my way!" He yelled, getting the grown-ups in his path to move aside. Where the ifrit went, no one really knew.

Rajin stormed out of the giant hotel the fastest way he knew how. Jumping down the stairs and dropping for ten stories. The genie the ground with a loud thud, that was sure to attract attention. Lucky for him, there wasn't a whole lot of evidence to suggest that Rajin actually jumped down the stairwell. Only a slightly cracked surface. It would take a detective to point out the oddity, and knowing the fancy hotel they were in, a detective coming by to inspect the cracks was unlikely.

Rajin stormed out of the hotel lobby with only a pair of airy tan pants on to cover the necessary areas of his body. The rest was there for the world to see. Sure the pants were expensive, and the genie was most likely going to get them dirty where he going, but for all he cared, they could be eaten by a shark that drowned in bubbling acid. It was then revealed that Rajin was heading for the beach. By the time he got there, his anger was no where closer to cooling. It probably didn't hep that he was walking around barefoot through streets full of people, stepping on whatever whatever was in his way, be it rocks, nails, or whatever. Now that he was at the beach, he could vent for all the good that would do. Rajin felt like beating something to death, but he couldn't do it to just anyone. Looking out at the beach, he found an excuse. He saw people running and screaming as there was a massive shark alert going on. The ifrit continued to walk forward with a malicious smile on his face. Sharks were such misunderstood creatures, but they made such perfect scapegoats.

Despite being blocked off by officials, Rajin pushed through and entered the water, swimming out into the salty Mediterranean water. Screams could be heard all around. Fearful masses were watching the event unfold through their eyes and camcorders for them to put on the internet that would spread like wildfire once Rajin's face was identified. The ifrit swam out farther before submerging under water and seeing his prey. It was a large great white shark. The genie and the shark locked eyes, but the shark was the first one to make a move, swimming right for him. Rajin simply smiled, waiting for the shark to try and take a bite out of him. With his superior lungs Rajin could spend as long as he wanted down with the massive apex predator. If only the poor shark knew what it was getting into. It was merely thinking, "Oh look, a strange thing I've never seen before. I wonder what it taste like. I'll just have a little taste." Little did the great know that Rajin was actually looking to make it tonight's dinner.

As soon as the shark closed, Rajin swam just out of reach of the shark's mouth, then latched onto the shark's rough scaly body. He began to pound away and beat the shark furiously. While the water was softening the genie's powerful blows, it didn't soften any pain for the great white. The under water beast thrashed about as it was pummeled to death by the mad ifrit. Soon, blood was drawn and it began to fill ocean right up the surface. There were cries of fear all around. People were still filming on their cellphone cameras in disbelief. All they saw was a pool of blood in the distance. Shortly after people started to slowly disburse, a head emerged from the shoreline, dragging an immense body with it. It was Rajin, returning covered from head to toe in blood with his prize. He was dragging the great white by its tail onto land. The genie was soaked and reeked of blood and salt. His jet black hair was plastered to his face. And most importantly, his pants were absolutely ruined. They were soaked, ripped to shreds, and died red from the shark blood. While some authorities tried to stop him, many of the crowd rushed to his side. Everyone was snapping pictures of his face and his prey which lie dead.

Rajin shifted the dead apex predator onto his shoulder with ease and pushed through the crowd. The blood and psychopathic smile on his face seemed to scare people away. Everyone there thought the ifrit was crazy. According to normal standards, yes, he was. But the genie didn't care. His anger had been quelled. He now started heading back to the for the hotel. The ifrit was completely unaware that his wife's brother was in the area, and probably saw his overly bold act.

Rajin was silent as he carried his prize. The words coming out of Kor's mouth seemed like they were just going through ear and out the other. That is, until the ifrit stopped walking. He turned to the young lamia who had been following. It was strange. The boy made a rather bold assumption to think Rajin's anger stemmed from something Krynn did. The genie narrowed his eyes, looking rather intimidating combined with all the blood on and the giant shark over his shoulders. Though, Rajin meant Kor no harm. Instead, the genie seem to revert to detective side. "Why?" Rajin asked in a dull drone. "Why is your sister that way Kor? Why is she afraid? What have your parents done to her that would make her act in such a way." The look in Rajin's eyes were serious. He actually cared about Krynn and would even kill for her. If the reason for her deep seated trauma and emotional repression was because of her parents, there would be hell to pay.

The genie was reminded of his fight in the abandoned school prison back on the Yokai campus. He had fought a minotaur there. If Krynn wasn't hurt at the time, she could have dealt with him. Rajin then bared his teeth at hearing the reason why the Zmeya seemed to shun his wife. He should have seen it. Why Krynn always acted so differently when her family was around. The genie leaned forward and got in the young lamia's face. "What's wrong with being a boa?" The ifrit snarled. there was a heavy pungent smell of a blood and fish mixed with salt water on him that was almost overbearing. "Boas are strong, and agile creature. Worthy of respect for how they fight. Honorable in battle, wrestling their prey until they stop breathing." The blood covered genie then turned his back to Kor. "I don't care your parents or mine have to say. I will defend the ones I care about until I see fit. And if that means busting a few skulls, then so be it."

Kor's words didn't sit right with Rajin. They were the sound of defeat, submission. Rajin wasn't one to give up. Even if this mystery went deeper than space, Rajin would get to the bottom of it. He was determined. But the ifrit chose to remain silent. Instead of being brash, Rajin chose to be sneaky. He would have to keep Kor in the dark about his plans. The ifrit continued to walk with the young lamia until they reached the hotel. Rajin was still carrying the dead great white shark on his shoulder.

When the two entered the hotel, literally all eyes were on Rajin. There could have been a nuclear war going on outside and no one would notice because they were too fixated on the sight of a six foot tall man, carrying a dead great white shark on his shoulders who was also covered in blood! Despite all this, no one stopped the ifrit, which was a wise idea. The genie turned to Kor. "I'll be right back." He said in a grim tone as he walked off. The genie was off to find the hotel kitchen. Rajin met little resistance when bringing his prize into the kitchen. The staff were all staring at Rajin with wide eyes. What he doing with a ******** great white shark?! Nevertheless, the ifrit carried the dead beast into the kitchen and sat it down a table just barely big enough to hold it. Rajin ordered the cook over, who was the only one brave enough to stand up to Rajin. The ifrit wasn't in the mood for dealing with anyone's bravado. "Listen, I'm here to deliver dinner for the highest paying customers at this dump. Now have this b*****d ready by dinner. No excuses. Oh, and keep the teeth. I want those for later." The mighty ifrit then walked out before cook could grab a cleaver and throw it at him. Many of the cook's assistances were holding him back so that he didn't try to harm Rajin. Most wise.

The arrogant ifrit then returned to Kor who was waiting by the elevator. He got in with him and the two rode all the way back up the penthouse. Upon entering the penthouse, the genie's mother and father were all over him."Rajin!" Zetaya screamed. "What have you done? You're covered in god knows who's blood!" The ifrit quipped, "It's shark blood." Then Sayid came in and clocked the boy over the head. "What were you thinking? Causing such a commotion. Do you want the humans to start thinking?" The ifrit didn't budge even when his parents gave their special brand of scolding. His eyes were focus on his lover who entered the room. Even through the blood covering his face, they were sympathetic and slightly apologetic. It was like he was saying sorry with just a stare. "And are those the brand new designer khakis that I bought you!?"

Sometime after Rajin was done being scolded by his parents, he returned to his bedroom. He could hear crying from the bathroom. The ifrit moved quietly, even though he carrying the thick pungent smell of blood on him. He needed to fix that. He snuck into the bathroom, turning on the faucet and began washing his face and much of his body of blood as possible.

Rajin finished washing his body of the stinking blood on his body as much as he could. The smell was for the part gone. but he would need a good long shower and a change of pants to get rid of it completely. Then, Krynn came in. She was very weepy still. Even the moment she walked in, it looked as if she had just finished crying. Then upon seeing, she went back to sobbing. Through the tears, she asked if he was still mad at her. This was where Rajin's primal feelings were being channeled in a new direction. If he were ignorant to her plight, sure, he might have still been made at her. But since now knew the cause of her personal troubles, he turn his anger to source. The ifrit turned the faucet off and set the wet and bloody cloth down. The genie stared at Krynn who was a mess of tears. His stare was strangely soft. It wasn't the usual hard cold glare that he would give to a stranger. Rajin walked over to Krynn. the sound of his bracelets jingled with each slow step he took. the ifrit then engulf her in his arms, brushing her hair with his gently and lovingly. "No." He whispered quietly and he held her closer. Rajin then rocked his lover from side to side, trying to ease the pain of the situation. He so dearly wanted to help Krynn come to terms with her feelings and realize what it meant to love. The very thought of it all having to do with her parents mad him tighten his grasp around Krynn. They would be taught a lesson for all the psychological torment they had caused her, his lover, his partner, his wife.
