"I don't believe this." Yuya growls as she follows Sakuya guides her through this new world that finds her interesting. Ever since they left the house of Sakuya and Kyoshiro everyone's been watching her with different looks. She's in a village where everyone is half dressed, not dress, or dressed because everyone is naked. She's seen this before but that was with her own family, and not among strangers. And what she's wearing is totally new to her. Sakuya gave her a strapless top that only covers her breast as the rest of her stomach is out and long white pants.
Being here, surrounded by lions made her feel a little out of place because where she belong was nothing like this. Since she was born to the age of 12 she lived the life happy, but once her brother died her world became so dark. And strangely to her, she missed but at the same time hated that world. But that world made her who she was today. Being a hybrid isn't easy and as much her "family" told her to find a lion pride, but she can't be accepted since she is... a monster. The males are curious as the females whispers harshness things to one another. Some thought how Demon Eyes Kyo would be the type to bring someone like me here or how a pretty young lady fall in love with a man like Kyo, or how they always thought as him as bad news.
But despite this place people it's amazing because its hidden from the outside world. Sayuka told her they are located where humans barely come because in front of the place is a very thick forest and some of their homes are in caves or thick vines that cover them. Yuya and Sayuka are walking down a normal market place with high trees that sneaks in enough sun rays to get in. This place isn't paradise compare where she's been. People gave her a sniff and made faces at her. A place she doesn't belong.
As Yuya carries food Sakuya and her shopped for she can feel Kyo's anger. They've been at it all day and Kyoshiro and Sakuya taught them to block their thoughts from each other, but curious won't dare try to kill these cats.
"What's the matter?" Sakuya ask as they stop at a river side where lions cubs played in their human and lion form.
"Nothing."
"We should sit here for a while so we can relax for a little girl talk."
Yuya had to chuckle over the "girl talk" thing because she just met this women. She has trust issues when it has to deal with her because some people are cruel.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Where do you come from? Do you have any family?"
"..." Yuya has to think before answering, but she's not the type to lie. "I came from a small town of humans and mix breeds where my...brother and I lived for 12 years."
"You have a older sibling?"
"I had a brother, but he died when I was twelve and ever since then I've been a rouge."
"So, you never been in a pride before?"
"Not really."
Yuya looks as a couple of kids play on the other side of the river playing ball as their parents watch them. A family is something Yuya had and knowing them, they will be looking for her soon.
'I can't stay here.' she thinks as she looks at Sakuya. "Is their a way to reverse this?" she feels on the mark.
"There is a man in our village who knows how to get rid of the mark, but he left along with his family to Kyoto years ago."
"What's his name?"
"We are not allow to speak is name, well, he prefers to be unknown to our world for his own reasons."
"…" Yuya signs then get up. "Well, I can't stay here long."
"Do you have a family to go back to?" Sakuya gets up and smiles at her.
"Not…really." Yuya wants to make sure her people are safe from all of this. "Oh, who is the Pride Leader here?"
"Well, ever since the war there is this man name…Nobunaga Oda." she says it with such sadness.
Yuya is the type to keep things to herself and it's not like her and Nobunaga and her had something "going on," so it isn't necessary to tell her.
Sakuya and Yuya heads back to the house and Yukimura and Kyoshiro meets them half way. Just as soon Yuya and Sakuya, Yuya feels a change in the wind and a small smell of onions. Yuya turns around just in time to catch a large onion that almost hit her head.
"I have the feeling you guys don't get a lot of half breeds." Yuya uses her thunder to cook the onion in her hand.
"Are you ok?" Sakuya asks in concern.
"It's fine. People fear what or who they don't understand."
