Raoul stepped out of the Cage as his opponent was carried off to the infirmary. If it wasn't for Reiko being in his thoughts, he would have killed him straight up. But he didn't want to go back to her a murderer. Instead, he spared the man's life, living with the contentment he got from the fight. Small and large gashes were seen through his shirt and one along his neck from his careless thoughts. Reiko was surely the one to his downfall sooner or later. With a sigh, Raoul stretched his arms above his head, then shifted into his panther form once more for a stroll. Feeling the wind, even though it was fake, through his fur always calmed him. He didn't want to go back to Reiko in a stubborn rude mood. He wanted to be somewhat happy and relaxed. He didn't want to destroy his new heaven.
When Raoul made his way toward the door, however, he stopped in his tracks faster than a fly could land, abruptly in his human form due to his train of thought flying out of the window. His body was completely still, no movement save for his suddenly slow, shallow breathing. His heart had skipped several beats, it felt, when his deep gray eyes fell upon Reiko and a man. Fangs that had erupted in his mouth slowly gritted together until it began to hurt, but he didn't let up. His orbs trained on the man, but then they flickered to Reiko. She knew him, was even crying. His hand curled into fists angrily, at the sudden realization that penetrated his mind through the rage boiling over the edge of the kettle all over again. But no. He wouldn't erupt there, not at her. Never at her, no matter what happened.
Before anything could be done, Raoul turned and ran out of the other door. It only led to the alleyway outside of the club, but he still took it and ran until he was at the door to the club. Just like the other night, when Reiko had ran, she had stopped here. With a sigh, he leaned one arm against the wall, resting his head on it, and closed his eyes. Raoul you're such a fool. You vowed not to feel anything for anyone. You broke it and now look what happened. She played you for the stupid bastard that you are. She tricked you into doing what you knew was impossible, he thought harshly, gritting his teeth harder. In his sudden black rage, he drew his free right arm back and slammed his fist against the brick wall, leaving a small indent and even causing his knuckles to bleed heavily. She was never a true heaven... Just like the rest, she was only temporary. No matter the feelings, the thoughts, the reassurance. She was never a true heaven. Not for me. Heaven's just not enough to heal me.... His gray eyes seemed distant, almost blank. No emotion was visible anymore, just like before he had met Reiko. "She played you for the dumbass you are, Raoul.." he muttered under his breath.

Raoul lifted his head slowly when he heard a faint shout, blank eyes looking down the alley where it had come from. As he stood there and listened, the voice grew just a bit louder and he recognized it. With a sigh, gritting his teeth, he moved away from the wall and shifted to his panther form, slinking down the alley. He just wanted to know if the guy would take care of her properly. He wanted to be sure she was in good hands before leaving them permanently. Raoul leaped upon the metal stairs that would rise above and lower near the entrance of the alley way, his head tilted down and eyes casted upon the ground to search for Reiko. Finally, he spotted them ahead and hurried at a half past due to his injuries. When he was standing just above, he listened intently.
“You love me still though…I can see it in your eyes.” Reiko gasped leaning against the door shaking her head slowly. “N-No…I don’t love you anymore…I can’t love you…not after what you did, Kiriya.” She hissed bitterly but he advanced closer trapping her by placing his hands over her leaving her nowhere to escape. Kiriya inched closer emotionlessly, “You’re mine and you’ll always be mine, Reiko. Remember that.” Raoul's teeth snapped together soundlessly, instant rage running through his blood. Suppressing a growl, he shifted into his human form again and gripped the railing with his hands tightly, just enough as to where the metal bars were beginning to bend inward. Fucking bastard.... he growled in his mind before leaping silently down behind Kiriya.
Raoul grabbed Kiriya's shoulder tightly, jerking him away from Reiko. He pushed him backward into the wall, moving right along with him as to where his face was in Kiriya's. Raoul's eyes were stark black, dangerously swirling with a sudden blood red. Fangs were visible as Raoul opened his mouth to speak. "Let's get things straight, pretty boy. If you absolutely, one hundred percent, truly love her like you say you do, you wouldn't order her around like that. Another thing, never claim a woman unless she gives herself to you fully and you know she has," he growled under his breath, murderer and death written all over him. Of course, it didn't really help when he had blood all over him along with gashes and other wounds. His right knuckles were also split open, blood still flowing lightly down to his wrist and dropping to the ground from when he punched the brick wall farther down the alley, his hand was flat on the wall. "Now, you will either respect her and treat her like she should be, or you will leave her right here with me and quit hassling her like she's your damn slave."

Raoul didn't flinch when Kiriya had grabbed his shirt collar, threatened him, spoke complete nonsense to him. A sadistic grin only widened on his face and stayed there throughout the whole show. But when he tried to coax Reiko to follow him, to talk to him, he glanced at Rei and studied her. He knew she wanted to, even though she denied wanting anything to do with him. Raoul was worried, but if she wanted to, he'd let her. With a sigh, he moved in front of her, between Kiriya and her, his hands on her shoulders and eyes beginning to turn into a soft shimmer of silver. Just for her. "Rei, if you want to, you can. I'm not going to tell you what to do and hold you back. I'm not going to treat you like a child..." he murmured, quietly so Kiriya couldn't listen in. This was just for them. He looked at her a moment longer, then brought her roughly against him in a light hug. "Just remember I'll be here for you when you need me. Should something go wrong with this rat bastard, you know where to find me. Just remember I... I'll always.. love you, Rei..." Raoul needed to say it, to get it out of his system, to hear the true words that matched how he felt for her.
Holding on to her for a few more seconds, he finally let go and looked back at Kiriya. "You better not pull any damn stunts. And truthfully, I don't have to prove a damn thing, unlike you. While you were gone, you left Rei to the possibility of her dying. Dying alone is the worse thing that could happen, really, Kiriya. Its best to know that," he growled before turning away, shifting into panther form before padding slowly away. If something went wrong, he wanted to be sure to turn quickly and protect Rei. At all costs, even in his current condition where his body was battered and torn up, he would protect her with his life.

Raoul's pace slowed when Reiko called out to her, but then stopped when she began to cough. He hung his head, fangs gritting and eyes closed tightly. If pretty boy wanted to help her, be with her, then he should be able to, right? Yet when he mentioned him, the DEA, Raoul's eyes shot open and his fangs were bared. Raoul turned his body sharply toward Kiriya, tail moving slowly behind him until it was just the tip of his tail. Just like a cat, he was ready to pounce on the bastard and tear his throat out. How does he know about me and the DEA...? he thought bitterly, pushing down the growl working its way up his throat.
Raoul took a few steps back toward Kiriya and Reiko, his anger tipping even more when he had kissed her. In front of him, he had kissed her, especially when he knew Raoul loved her. "What exactly do you know about me, pretty boy?" he growled, a sadistic feline grin on his maw. His muscles were beginning to get tense, his black/red hued eyes narrowing as thin as they could be. Someone who knew him 'familiarly' and knew he was working under DEA had to be an enemy of his.

Raoul stood there, even backing up when she resulted to violence toward Kiriya, but he wasn't afraid. He took it as amusement and didn't really want to get caught up in it, or he'd most likely injure Kiriya on 'accident.' His tail flickered slightly when she began to yell at them and that was when he truly did notice what she was wearing. Raoul's face turned blank, his ears flattening slightly before padding over to her, shifting form just as he sat behind her. "You know, you could always shift form and tear the living hell out of him before I do..." he grumbled. Even though he was being gentle and kind with Rei, his guard was still up. His silver eyes stayed locked to the back of her head, not going to force her to do anything she didn't want to. "Look, Rei... I know you still have feelings for him and everything, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to let you go with him. He doesn't seem the type to take care of you properly even though he has those shots to help you. But sooner or later, they won't be much help and even if you choose to stay with him, I'll still try to get you the help you need right here. I'll have them cure you." Raoul completely ignored Kiriya at this stage and was only focused on helping Rei. What else could he do?

Raoul watched as Kiriya left, a feline growl emitting from his throat before remembering Reiko needed him. With a light sigh, he turned his now silver hued eyes upon her and scooped her up. "I know, Rei. Unlike a few people I know, I'm not exactly the type to think things differently on purpose unless it was intended. If I had really paid attention, you would have been covered by now and nothing like this would have happened," he said, beginning toward the rooms. His mind kept wandering back to Kiriya. How he knew Raoul was in the DEA beat the living hell out of him and he was going to get answers one way or another. Even if it means going against Reiko's wishes and literally beating the shit out of him for information. It wouldn't be the first time he had to do it.

Raoul looked down at Reiko, a small smile curving his mouth even though it didn't light up his eyes. "Nothing you should worry about, Rei. You'd probably run screaming. Either that or beat the living hell out of me and threaten me within an inch of my life... If I ever let you do that in the first place," he said. When she pushed away, he knew she was thinking of Kiriya. With a sigh, he ran a hand messily through his hair and looked down at the ground. He wasn't good at talking, but he'd give it his best. "Look, Rei... If you want to be with him, then be with him. I'm not going to hunt him down and kill him right in front of you. Hell, I'm not going to kill him at all unless he gave me a good solid reason to put him as number one on my shit list. And I'm not going to go commit suicide because you want to stay with him. I understand you two know each other, are in.. love. We'll get over it. In the end, it could have just been a big infatuation that we made overblown. Hell, we could just be faking it just to see how the other would react. I'm okay with that because truthfully, I didn't want to get close to anyone in the first place. Not in this life, when so much has made me the way I am. Honestly, I'm afraid because I know I'll end up hurting someone I care the most about one of these days. That's why I live a life of solitude and that's the reason why I don't like talking to you, or anyone, about myself. I get to know someone, let them get close on accident, then hurt them, end of story. That's how I've been and I know I'll keep going that way. But a promise is a promise.. I'll get you your help on that disease. Don't worry." With that, Raoul looked down the alley, leaning against the wall. She wanted to change, so when she was ready to go, he'll follow. And be silent from then on. If he had hurt her, then that was a good sign. It was enough to hurt himself, but he just didn't want to go through the pain. He didn't want to feel like another rag doll to someone and end up getting thrown away at the end. And he certainly didn't want anyone else to really feel that way.
