Ice Cold

[metal]

Inu trudged through the snow, he disliked ice infact fearfull and the weather conditions were affecting his judgement. "Dam snow" Inu continued leaving a thick trail behind him, it was snowing rather hard for being on a mountain. Inu wiggled his mask around making sure it was tight enough not to fall off, he didn't want anyone to see his face let alone his real form. Inu disliked humans and demons what a pity for him theo nly being he truely liked was dragons.

Inu continued throuhg feeling his hands go numb. Inu had to keep moving, he wanted to atleast get higher before dieing. Inu didn't care for his life at all or others so he thought it would be allright if he froze here. This was most likely not going to happen he was already to close to a cave he could see in the distance.

Inu sighed at his sudden releif from the cold Inu was looking forward to the embrace of death. He moved closer to the cave like structure as the winds grew stronger and the soft snw began moving faster almost as a blizzard would.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WISHED FOR?

Kaida was stuck in a cave due to her father's wishes for some dragon fruit. Although this fruit was Kaida's favourite, and he only really got it for her, she didn't like having to climb to coldest mountain. She sat in her grey long coat on a stone in the dark cave, trying to light a fire. She hit a couple of stones together, a spark came off, and hit her finger. She just winced as she burned her finger, and continued hitting the stones together.

"Why did he have to send me anyways?" she mumbled softly under her breath about her father sending her on this 'mission'. Maybe he hoped she would gain something from it. Survival skills maybe? Kaida rubbed her arms and stuck her hands in her coat, trying to warm her numb fingers before beating the rocks against each other once again.

Soon enough, Kaida managed to get a spark to start the dry grass she had lain at her feet, some dry twigs set aside for later use. She quickly got down on her hands and knees and lightly blew on the grass, then the fire grew. She had a small mental party with her success as the flame grew into a small fire, and she fed a twig in it, breaking the twig in thirds to spread the flames.

After she had finished, Kaida sat down on her boulder, and leaned over to warm her hands, which she could barely move. She began humming a tune, soon singing to it with her rather beautiful voice. She figured nobody would hear her song, a lullaby that her deceased mother had once sang to her, and had been singing to her when she had shoved Kaida in a closet, hiding her from her mother's killer.

Kaida jumped as she heard footsteps, and quietened her voice. She looked over to the entrance of the cave, tilting her head slightly. She glared into the darkness, the sound of the snow falling becoming larger, and louder. A blizzard? That's just great. "You are welcome to stay until the blizzard stops if you mean no harm" Kaida said bravely to the visitor, having a rather brave personality due to her father and how she was trained.

Inu's head tilted up at the women glancing at her a few times while trudging into the cave. Inu said nothing but made sure his mask was fitted correctly and sat back in a dark corner of the cave. Just great, Inu was saved but then it was by a human Inu wanted to die anyway so there no Irony to it either. Inu was angered at this but still kept his composure. 'What are you doing here?" Inu spoke almost as if he owned the cave itself.

Inu could easily kill her if he wanted to, but he wouldn't he couldn't become like those traders just because he refused to stay in a village with the humans. Stupid humans mistaking him for a god asking for things they don't need and his tribe was even worse then them. Inu set his hands sown beside him he wanted to move closer to the fire but not to the human, he would just let his body spark out in a flame but again the company of this human.

Inu closed his eyes for a brief moment which couldn't be seem because of his mask. Inu had a few flashbacks of the past, his tribe was fire so there is alot of memories that can be recalled upon seeing a flame.

CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT

Kaida stuck her hands back in the sleeves of her coat, looking into the fire with her back straight, folding one leg over the other so she was sitting in a proper manner on the boulder. Kaida never sat unladylike when she was around company. "I was out doing some shopping for my father" she hadn't gotten the chance to get the dragonfruit he had asked for, so at the moment she only had some bread to eat.

Kaida went digging around in her pockets, and dug out the larger piece of bread "If you're hungry, you can have some of this bread" she offered, taking a little piece and nibbling on it. She wasn't that hungry, but she decided it would be best to eat, especially if the blizzard outside forced her to stay inside the cave for the night.

"What about you?" she asked, shifting her legs slightly "What are you here for, if you don't mind me asking?" this person seemed rather hesitant around her, and he also wasn't coming near the fire to get warmer. Perhaps he wasn't human, unlike her? She hoped not, that might be bad if somebody had found out she was around a non-human.

"My name is Kaida" Kaida had realized neither of them said their names "You may have heard of my father, he owns a renowned dojo" she added, and continued with her almost daydream state of staring into the crackling flames. Her father did own a rather known dojo, as people came from everywhere to come learn under him and his daughter, who often taught beside him or was used for showing examples for younger students.

Kaida was was also known herself for her many talents, including musical, academic, and fighting. She was also known to those who knew her personally as often cold to others, and she had a slight serious tone to her voice, which made people think worse of her. If they heard her use her real voice, which was rather soft and sweet sounding, they may change their minds about her. If they knew her father, though, they would think that she had gained his seriousness, and not her mother's personality. Kaida, though, had her mother's looks and her personality, but she tended to act more like her father around people.

Inu looked at her. " You were shopping out here?" Inu looked at her thinking she must b pretty stupid to be shopping up on the mountains. Inu stood up to look outside to see if the blizzard calmed yet he wanted to get going higher into the mountain. Inu turned his head at the thought of food. "No" Inu replied glancing back out into the blizzard. Inu didn't show it but he was afraid of all forms of water snow, ice. Snow he wasn't too afraid mostly ice was what kept him at bay.

Inu glanced around the frozen tundra once again before peering back inside walking past the fire rather slowly to gain what warmth he could before returning to his dark spot. Humans asking qeustions again, Inu didn't even have a qeustion he was just following clues back to the tribe so he could take revenge, but it was harder then one would think, so Inu just ignored this qeustion.

Inu's facial features could not been see nthrough the mask but he was slightly surprised when he heard that, a few villagers at the human village he was forced to live at was talking about that place. "My name is I.." Inu stopped, if the village was close to his she could've heard stories about the 'daeite' It was a small chance but he wasn't going to take it.

"My name does not concern you" Inu turned his head slightly facing the wall. It looks as Inu was stuck in the cave with the human for the night, he disliked the fact he was even considering letting her live, but he wasn't going to be like them killing someone for no reason.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Kaida fell silent, not having any more questions herself. She felt warm enough now, and she was getting slightly too warm, so instead of taking off her coat, she stood up and walked away from the fire, sitting a little ways away with her legs folded underneath her. She was looking at the snow falling, watching as it fell. Kaida liked all the elements, except for thunderstorms, and tornadoes, and earthquakes, and things like that.

The snow looked pretty as it fell, but Kaida wasn't as stupid as Inu thought she was. Kaida knew that it was stupid to go looking for something that won't last very long, but if she hadn't went then she would have been punished in some way or another. "My master sent me, so I must do it" she said to Inu, still looking out to the falling snow. Honorable, that was what Kaida could also be described as by the students she had taught. "If he didn't, then I wouldn't have came" she added to him, glancing over slightly with her dark violet eyes, a strange colour for a human, and her father and mother didn't have her colour of eyes. Kaida remembered that her mother had light blue eyes, and her father had dark brown eyes. Maybe purple came from a mixture of that?

Inu turned his head at her. "A master?" The thought made him remember of his, what a betraying one his was not concerning for him puhishing him for something he didnn't want to do it all felt so wrong to him. " I wouldn't serve so loyally if I was you" Inu thought her master was most likely her father so she probably wouldn't even listen to a word he said.

inu got up again looking outside and then back to this human, it was still pretty bad out but he had to go. Inu would've said he was leaveing but firat he had to chec somethign outside. Inu walked out of the cave into the snow blizzard that bombarded his jacket. Inu looked up first before starting to walk slightly moving slow through the thick snow.

" I must reach the top" Inu needed to reach the top because heat traveled along with the smell of smoke, his tribe released massive amounts of smoke being mostly fire so when he reached the tp the smell of smoke should lead him in the right direction. Inu kept pushing up the slope looking back every so often to check for the human. "The humans don't understand" Inu said a little bit too loud, if she was following him she most likely would've heard thet.

THE CAT IS OVERKILLED

"I have served loyally for my life time" she stated clearly, turning her head as he left the cave. She fidgitted slightly with her coat before finally getting up and following him through the blizzard. It wasn't good for anyone to be out in a blizzard, and because Kaida was worried about the boy she had just met (curse that), she followed.

Once she heard him say that, she replied "Some do, but we aren't mind readers" she stated clearly in the blizzard, speaking louder than she usually did so he could hear her. She coughed as the cold reached her lungs, wrapping one arms around her middle to try to protect them from the cold. She coughed some more but kept following the masked boy.

It was hard for Kaida to see, but she was just following the boy by his dark clothes, which could be seen better than white clothes in a blizzard. Her own long coat was black in colour, and was made just for things like this, but no coat can actually protect from cold like this. She coughed some more, and she tried holding her coughing so she could breathe normally. The cold often did this to humans, which she thought she was, and she was no excuse.

Inu kept hearing he cough back there, he was generally concerned about it but he would never admit that. "Will this shut you up?" Inu engulfed his hands and forearms with flames which was somehow not effecting his jacket but was hot enough to mlt nearby snow. "Don't come to close" Inu siad this because even though he had just his forearms down light up it was still burning at enough intensity to hurt her if she moved any closer.

Inu should've done this before, he thought he was pretty dumb for no it was colder last time and it would've been harder to keep the heat at a high level. Inu kept pressing on making the peak of the mountain visible now to him as the snow still pelted around the heat barrier Inu made. Inu walked in a much more relaxed state being close to his favourite temperature.

Inu pushed on to the top of the peak sniffing around for any traces of large amounts of smoke in the atmosphere, it was hard to breath being up so high having so little oxygen in the air aswell. Inu's attention was finally dragged to the amount of smoke he needed. Inu had found the direction he needed to take, now he just needed to get off this dam island.

THE CAT IS OVERKILLED

Kaida crossed her arms, her breathing gotten slightly better as she could feel the heat radiating from the flame he had produced. "No, it won't 'shut me up'" she said calmly, as if just answering a simple question. This 'human' showed no fear to the flame that had been produced. Even though she had said this, she listened to him as he told her not to get closer, but she still followed him, either backing off a little or keeping the same distance.

It turns out, Kaida had shut up, because she had nothing else to say, but she still followed, the heat making her feel slightly better. She was no longer coughing, and the heat was so strong it made the snow less intense around them, making it easier for her to see. Even though she was not human, as she thought she was, Kaida's senses were not keener than a human. She could not survive too much in this form, but if she was knocked out and still in danger, Kaida could easily change her form, and not be knocked out anymore, but she won't remember a thing as if she had been knocked out.

This was the strange thing of being a lunatic spirit. She could change her form to anything she wanted, but because she didn't know that she was one, she didn't know how to change her form, or even that she could. She wasn't in such a bad spot as to have to change her form like that, ever.

Inu turned around having found out what he needed to he bent down for a second but then stood up again. inu looked athe human that was still following. "if you need something find it know, I'm not staying for much longer" inu knew she wuld be stuck in that cave again when he left so he felt it was necessary to tell her.

Inu walked forward following the melted trail he had left coming back up tothe only known landmark which was the cave. inu decided to not look back for the human that would show signs of weakness and he wasn't going to show any of them. Inu passed the cave making his way down to the pointthat the snow had ceised and grass was just up ahed. Inu was still very high up on the mountain but he let his flames die out but he still continued walking.

Inu looked around at the vegitation having a more mentally stable mind being out of the snow. Inu continued his way towards the bottom of the mountain looking at the veiw in the distance. Inu knew the girl was either gone or behind him so he took off his off his mask for a bried moment to wipe the water from melted snow from the inside of the maske which made it somewhat humid wearing it. Inu placed the maske back on and continued his walk.

SOMETHING THE SAME

Kaida decided that the cold wasn't so bad now, with Inu's heat warming her up, she could at least breathe better. Maybe if she got off of this mountain the blizzard would stop? Hopefully it did. Kaida followed him off of the mountain, keeping her distance from the boy, but he was heading the exact same direction as she was.

"Just so you know, I was heading this way anyways" she said to him so he wouldn't think she was stalking him "I'm not following you anymore, this is just the way I'm going" she finished, looking around at the things as they walked.

[/blockquote][/center]

[metal]

Inu stopped for a moment as she talked tilting his head at her but then resuming his walk. Inu was just walking the direction the scent had come from that was his only thing to keep him moving forward. "Fine by me" Inu was probably going to stop at a nearby village anyways, hers was probably the best oone for what he needed to. Inu kept moving along waiting for signs of the village and then glanced upon it as it arose over the horizon.

Inu glared at the girl again. 'Tell no one" Inu obviously was commanding but he didn't yell it at her or seem angry. Inu kept walking closer and closer to the village perhaps he could make some money by making a magician stand. Inu sometimes did this to make money to persuade some stronger demons that knew how to cook to prepare him food as he refused to eat human food.

Inu walked into the village gaining a few nasty looks and hearing a couple other things being said about him. "Why is that guy wearing a mask?" Inu was already a-bit ticked off at the humans but it wasn't there fault was it? Inu walked looking for the most busy area of the town to make his stand of magic tricks, obviously this was fake but they had no way to prove him wrong unless that girl says something she shouldn't be.

[bgcolor=C19AC8]

SOMETHING THE SAME

Kaida glared at him slightly, crossing her arms "Fine." she obviously wasn't fond of being commanded to do something, but she knew how to keep a secret. She was a rather good friend, compared to most people she knew.

Kaida continued walking behind him at a good distance, and once they got to the village she went to the nearest fruit stand. She started looking for the cactus fruit, and began to find the best ones. The large, pinkish-red fruit looked almost like a ball of dragon scales, thus the name dragon fruit. The flesh of the fruit was white and had small black seeds like a kiwi, but it tasted slightly sweeter and more crunchy than one. Kaida chose out five of the expensive fruit and counted up the money, paying the owner of the booth.

[metal]

Inu called people claiming to be a master magician, people glared not paying him any money for his magic. Inu then offered them that if he didn't impress them he would double their money. Most people were skeptical about this but one person agreed to his offer. "Sit back in amazement" Inu placed his hand on teh ground. The ground began to force itself up defining itself more and more untill it was a rock sword.

"Did this not amaze you?" Inu still sounded in his low cocky voice as he spoke but the people were now interested in seeing more things like that he just showed them. More and more people croded him asking to form similiar object of tone. "I'll do something differen't" Inu light up his hands like before, this time only in the palm of his hands. almost each spectator was amazed or amused at this but as usual people began asking themselves qeustion.

Inu placed his palm back on the ground letting the earth he was manipulating form around his arm. Inu then placed his other arm on the arm covered in earth making it into a more sharp pointed extension of his arm. 'This will be all for today' Inu was rather pleased with himslef for making a hefty amount of gold but he couldn't help but wonder if that girl was going to rat him out.
