AN: Well, my friend and I were talking about Royalshipping at first.. and then at how she didn't like it so I said I was going to write some Royalshipping but this didn't become Royalshipping.. I stopped taking this seriously half way through, this became Sharkbaitshipping somehow and Suspendershipping.. and maybe some Keyshipping.
Yuma was going to see his grandma out in the woods, he was supposed to deliver her goodies, he held a basket firmly clasped in his hands. He skipped along the road; he had to be careful though because he had heard there were dangers in the forest from his grandma. Yuma would be extra careful though, he didn't know why his grandma was so worried, nothing could be that bad in a forest right? He stopped for a second; he thought he heard a low growl within the forest. It was just the wind blowing on the trees right?
Yuma had nothing to worry about this would be a safe journey; he could rest for a bit.
There was nothing to worry about after all; nothing dangerous was out here, right? Maybe just some bears but if he ran into one, he could just high tail it out of there.
Yuma looked about, he sat down against a tree and pulled out of the basket a sandwich, he had brought his grandmother cookies, granted they weren't the best-made cookies since he wasn't the best cook but his grandmother loved his cooking nonetheless. Yuma looked up from his seating for just a moment and saw a something floating above him.
"W-what are you? " Yuma called out; he had never seen anything like it before. It wasn't like any butterfly he had ever seen. The fluttering creäture just smiled and landed on his nose. "I am Astral, I am a pixie. " he chimed out as he danced across Yuma's face.
Yuma nearly sneezed from the pixie dust falling off Astral. "O-okay.. but that doesn't explain anything.. how are you real? Mystical creatures don't exist..! " He was feeling almost frightened.. was this a magical forest?
"Yes and many other mystical creatures inhabit this place, I beg thee be careful! Many in here will not be as friendly as I. " he said as he rested on Yuma's shoulder.
Yuma just blinked "Okay.. but why are you still hitching a ride on me? " he didn't understand this whole mystical creäture thing, they weren't real.. maybe he was just dreaming, yeah.. maybe he had just fallen asleep. He noted that he was awake when Astral kicked him firmly in the neck. "Ow what was that for!? " Yuma screeched from the sudden jolt of the tiny pixie's kick.
"Just reassuring you that you are indeed awake. I might travel with you to guide you to safety. " Astral said as he brushed against Yuma's face.
Yuma still didn't understand what was the full danger of this forest, Astral seemed friendly.. so who else couldn't be?
Yuma walked along continuing to skip and occasionally getting criticized by Astral for the way he skipped or the bumpy ride that it made for Astral as he held to Yuma's red hood.
Yuma stopped in his tracks when he heard more growling in the distance; maybe the forest really was dangerous after all. Astral nudged Yuma and told him to press on that was until they were both stopped in their tracks by a furry beast in front of them.
"What is that, Astral..? " Yuma asked not very concerned at first but he just couldn't make out what it was. Astral leaned forward and gasped loudly "That's.. that's.. Thomas.. the werewolf! " He shrieked.. he hid in Yuma's hoodie. So much for Astral being his guide or rather protection.
The werewolf leaned over and sniffed Yuma as he licked lips. He could just smell the tasty treats within the young boys basket. "Say.. kid what do you have in there? " the werewolf asked, Yuma just stepped back. "Food.. but not for you.. " He said almost in a scared whisper.
The werewolf in front of him smirked "Well, well how rude of me then.. let me introduce myself.. I'm Thomas! I advise you to hand over that basket or I may have to hurt you. " He said as he leaned his furry paw toward him, Yuma could clearly see the claws on Thomas. Maybe Astral was right, maybe there were dangerous things in this forest. He knew he didn't want to stay around long enough to find anymore.
"Okay.. well Thomas.. I should be going now, I have to bring these to my grandma- " he was halted by Thomas' claws being pressed against Yuma's sides as he dug into the opposed flesh.
"Now, now is that really anyway to treat someone? I mean this is my forest. " Thomas said with a signature flash of his sharp teeth, he saw the pixie peeking out of the young boys hoodie. "This is not your forest.. we all inhabit it.. " Astral squeaked out somewhat terrified of the werewolf but not much so that he would just let Thomas hurt Yuma however he pleased.
"Really then are you going to stop me? Or would you rather just avoid a beating and hand over that basket? Or maybe, you could give me something else.. " Thomas smirked and breathed his hot breath in Yuma's face. Yuma just staggered back, he was frightened now of this forest. Pixies and now.. Werewolves..? Just what else was in this forest? Why did his grandma even want to live out here? He regretted coming to bring cookies with the situation he was now in.
Yuma felt a gust of wind in the distance, oh great what now? What could possibly get any worse? He saw a flash of light as the creäture fell from the sky, it looked.. like a bat? No, no it wasn't a bat.. it changed shape into a person.. a vampire? Just what kind of god-forsaken forest was he in? "Now Thomas really? Torturing a tress passer without notifying the rest of us, just thought you wouldn't share it, huh? " The vampire mused out, Thomas just scowled and grit his teeth "Back off Kite, this one is my prey! " he said as he pulled Yuma closer to him. "I see the Pixie found him first. " Kite said with a sneer as he pointed at Astral.
Astral frowned "I was just trying to help him.. not run into you guys.. I mean you two can't control whatever blood lust you have around humans.. " he was afraid they were going to eat the young boy. He saw Kite and Thomas laughing, he didn't understand.
"What is so funny you two? " Astral asked with concern as the two glared at him as he somewhat hid back in Yuma's hoodie. "Just that you think we're going to kill him, why would we do that? I mean he would be an endless supply of blood for me.. and Thomas could.. I'm not sure what Thomas wants with him.. " Kite said as he glared and showed off his fangs to everyone.
"Me? Well, I wanted his food but he didn't want to coöperate.. so I was going to teach him a little lesson. " Thomas smirked as he pointed at the claw marks he left on the young boy's thighs, clearly visible for Kite to see. "Why didn't you just take his basket and let him go? I mean you are strong enough to power a weak little boy right? " Kite said with somewhat mocking tone.
"Like hell I am! I could have done it, I just didn't want too.. I wanted to mess with the kid.. you get the idea. " Thomas said licking his muzzle and wagging his tail slightly as he twitched his ears. Yuma would say he found the two beings cute if they weren't so terrifying and were probably going to eat him. "Can I just take this basket to my grandma and go..? " Yuma muttered out terrified as he shook with fear.
Both Kite and Thomas shook their heads and mused out "No way, you entered out forest and you just think you have a right to walk around however you please? I think we deserve some sort of payment for you even coming here to such a sacred place. " They both leaned in closely to the boy. Yuma shrieked, "Don't touch me! I also have a name you know.. my name is Yuma! " He backed away from the two slowly.
"Oh so now you're afraid of this forest? I gave you a warning growl when you entered but you just kept on going on your merry little way. " Thomas chimed and leaned in closer to Yuma's face. "I think he deserves some sort of punishment don't you, Kite? " He said smirking and kissing the vampire's cheek. "I do believe so, I mean I haven't had human blood in so long.. " He chuckled and brought out his fangs, frightening Yuma.
"Hey come on can't we work this out..? " Yuma asked pleading almost to pathetically for his liking, he heard a loud noise in the distance.. oh great more monsters to come after him, this just wasn't his day. Yuma wasn't prepared for what he saw next, he saw a large beautiful merman like creäture spring out of the water as he yelled with a loud triumphant walrus noise, it sounded very off-key but who was Yuma to argue with his rescuer. The merman now grew legs and stood in front of Yuma, the noise he made when he tried to scare the other two off sounded like 'Meermoo!' it sounded like a walrus indeed.
"You leave this poor defenseless creature alone, you know we didn't like it when the humans chased us! So you have no right!" he held Yuma close to him and whispered "It's going to be okay.. I'll protect you from them. " he saw the other two with angry eyes, they each wanted something from Yuma but they didn't want his heart like merman did.
"Just who are you.. and why do you sound like a walrus.. when you attack? " Yuma said half concerned and slightly laughing at the others attacking call.
The merman before him smiled and shook his hand "I'm Shark, but you may call me Ryoga. " he smiled and affectionately nuzzled the others hand.
Yuma didn't understand he just wanted to bring his cookies to his grandma. "Okay.. but what do any of you want with me..? " Yuma asked he wanted to burst out crying right there when Shark made the sound again as he warded off the other two from coming closer.
"Well Kite wants you for an endless supply of blood and Thomas.. well.. I'm not sure what Thomas wants and Astral wants you for a companion it seems. " He said pointing at the accused pixie. He could see right through Astral's helping strategy, they all obviously wanted this boy for something be it companionship, love, food, lust. They all wanted the same thing.
Thomas smirked "I just want his food but he deserves a punishment and I'm the one to give him it. " he said as he showed off his claws, he wanted to paint a beautiful red picture across the young boy's back with his claws.
Shark shook his head he would not allow Thomas to do that to this boy, he felt a special connection to him. He felt like they were destined to meet him. "Listen we can all share him, I mean we all obviously want him right? " they didn't like the idea of sharing but it would stop them from tearing each other apart. Thomas laughed "Why would I want that human for anything? When I have Kite? " He said as he stroked the vampire's face affectionately, he saw Kite shaking his head and hissing, "Not now Thomas, please! " he growled and just stared at Yuma.
Shark defiantly didn't see an agreement coming up soon he would have to act fast..
"Well I'm sure we can come to some agreement, how about Kite you drink your fill of blood from the boy, and Astral.. you can stay around the boy and keep him company and I, I will be the boy's mate. " He said as the others just stared with concerned and shocked expressions even the boy himself. "You really want the kid for that? " Thomas said blinking, he just wanted him for a punching bag and Kite just wanted him for food, after all they didn't want what Shark wanted because they had each other.
Shark just nodded "So have we all come to an agreement? " he saw the others nodding, but he saw Thomas shake his head because he wanted him for nothing more than a punching bag and Shark wouldn't allow that. Thomas growled in a fierce barking motion as he wiggled his ears "If I don't get my end of this deal then he leaves the forest, I have just as much right as you all. " he hissed, Shark made menacing 'meero' noise at Thomas, who just stepped back as he growled back. Yuma couldn't help but laugh again at his rescuers defense call. Astral just sat on Yuma's shoulder watching this all go down.
Shark eventually sighed he didn't want Yuma to have to leave, so he would agree to Thomas' rule. "Fine just don't hurt him too much.. " he said as he walked over to the boy and rubbed his face against him, Yuma just stared, looks like he wouldn't be bringing his grandma cookies after all.. he was now these creatures' slave.
