Alright, Alright, so I haven't finished another stories, but I wanted to start this one and see the reaction. I do not own YYH, but Aval is mine!
+She ran; as fast as she could go. She was no longer a wolf, but more like a thoroughbred who was running for the Crown. Wolves didn't run. They stood their ground. But through the trees her small fleeting form could be seem, her purple tail fanned out behind her balancing her headlong rush.
She wasn't sure where she was going, but she had to get away. Far away before they could catch up. She wouldn't be able to go much farther, but she had to go much, much farther. Her breathing was uneven and shallow with fear. Her golden eyes filled with horror as she searched over her shoulder for her pursuers. They were there, and they were gaining. With the renewed adrenaline racing with her blood, she ran on, quickening her speed.
She didn't stop when she reached the meadow in the forest; she should have. It might have helped her franticly wild, wide eyes see the man in front of her. But by the time she realized her mistake, it was too late. She howled in pain as strong, skinny tendrils of the demon wrapped around her bones tightly squeezing whatever energy she had left from her. Her purple matching ears were pressed hard against her skull and an unwanted whimper crossed her lips. She fought with herself for consciousness as black orbs swam in a fuzzy vision.
"Let her go brother. She'll be more use alive," a booming voice resounded behind her.
"That might be so, but I would love to see the color from her face drain even more," a higher pitched, gravel voice responded to the other.
After one last tight, firm squeeze, she felt her body fall and hit the solid ground beneath her. The grass did little to soften the impact. She gathered as much of her senses as she could and tried to make her muscles respond to the insistent call to rise. But she stayed where she was, at the mercy of these two men.
An arm picked her up around the waist and threw her over a shoulder where her limp body rested, not worrying about being gentle about it. "Let's go brother, or we will be late."+

Aval awoke in a sweat as she shot up straight in her cot. Her mind was racing, her eyes wide, and her heart thumping. 'It had only been a dream.' She reminded herself as her eyes closed gently. It was a dream that had felt too real and had held all the fear and pain of that night.
She pushed the blankets away from her frame that had filled out with toned muscles since that night, and stood in the moonlight. Her sea blue hair fell past her ribs and blossoming breasts and swayed in tune to her hips as she moved to the window. The moonlight fell on her form that only seemed fragile, and it made sure that the curves the white and red Kimono hugged were shone. Her golden orbs stared out at the abundant freedom only inches away, but even that happiness she was banned to feel.
With a sigh, she turned away from the window and let the sheer panel cover the moonlight. Her ears and tail were hidden for she was also forbidden to have them out in this mansion her owners, as she saw them, currently worked at. Silently she inched the door open and slipped into the dark hallway. Where her feet made no noise, she walked away from her captive room to the rest of the dungeon that surrounded her.
She was surprised to find that she wasn't the only prisoner within these walls. But seeing the weakened, hopeless Koorime did little to lift her spirits. Still, to Aval, there was a certain sense of responsibility to help the fragile female. Even if their captors weren't the same, they could share the pain of imprisonment.
Her first trip lead to the kitchen a floor below to grab a few pieces of fruit she had found. Of course she would never object the sweet juices of the food in her arms, but it was not for her that she had attained it. She just knew from experience that anything else she would have chosen would make the other female grimace.
This time, instead of taking a main passageway, she took one that was less used. It was easier if many did not know of the visits to the unlucky Koorime. It saved both of them the pain.
The frigid air from the room hit Aval and made her shiver as she opened the door that the other was kept behind. She was a smart girl, but so innocent that it was a shame to see her in pain.
"Yukina, it's me," Aval whispered into the room as she shut the door behind her and made her way to the bars that were covered with ancient spells to keep the small girl inside.
The air in the room automatically warmed as the girl turned with hope in her eyes to the person behind the bars, "Oh, Avie-san, it's too dangerous for you to be here. You really shouldn't come anymore."
A light smile danced upon Aval's lips, "Yukina, I brought you some food. Come over here and eat."
The smaller girl obeyed; hope and a smile dancing on her face as Aval slipped the food to her through the bars. "Avie-san, they might catch you one of these times, and then it would be my fault if you were hurt."
"Don't worry about me. I bring trouble upon myself, and there's nothing more they could really do to me," Aval reassured the girl. "You did nothing to be locked up like this. I just wish there was more I could do."
"You do enough by keeping me strong with hope, Avie-san," The Koorime replied as she started to eat the fruit Aval had brought.
The two sat, mainly in silence, but every now and then they exchanged small talk just to make the hours go by faster. The sun was in the sky when Aval's still sensitive ears picked up many sounds from a distant hallway.
"Now, Yukina, I must go," Aval told her as she stood from the floor. The Koorime followed suit and nodded gently before walking to her chair near the window that was also covered with the seals that kept her locked in. As soon as Aval closed the door and was once again in the hallway, the room became a frigid ice room again.

Aval found her owners in the control room with the owner of the mansion and their current employer, Tarukane. Not only was the famous Chapter Black Club conversing with the Master of the house, but it seemed they were all watching and betting on two humans that were fighting against multiple demons.
Aval came in as a shadow, and stayed as such as she stood behind the brothers. She stood silent as she watched the two humans kick demon ass. Her face stayed neutral, not showing any emotion. The humans seemed cocky, but they had a right to be since they were beating everything the brothers threw out to them.
With the last of the demons at disposal besides herself the party moved. They were met by Yukina near the stairway with guards surrounding her. Aval followed her owners and listened as they told her where to stay as they took care of the job at hand. Aval just merely nodded and did as she was told.
The two humans entered the ring in the basement as Aval found herself sitting behind a glass window. Across the open space, she could see, Tarukane, his guards, and Yukina behind their own glass windows in a control room. She watched as the battle below raged on, mainly with the Toguro's holding the upper hand until the end.
In the end, the humans had won. She wondered how herself, but didn't question it very much for she could still feel the brothers energy pulsing. She looked up and across the way to see a pair of red eyes, redder than Yukina's, staring at her. Her golden orbs stared back at the demon, but shifted when there was movement in the corner of the room. Another male was in the room.
Dismissing them as nothing important she turned to the scene blow once again. There Yukina was with the humans. She smiled her sad smile. The Koorime was safe; finally. The two across the space and the three below left together.
Sensing the Toguro's once again, she looked back to the control room. There she could see Turakane's blood nicely decorating the glass. She looked to the brothers to find where next she would be directed to go. Little did she know what else they had in store for the next month.
