What The Radio Says…: Anything But Ordinary By Avril Lavigne
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Kizzy pursed her lips, wondering, debating, and thinking about several things at once. She was wondering how the sun rose, debating why birds flew with the wind, and thinking about why people and demons killed things to survive.
"Kizzy." Koga called from behind her, causing the female Wolf-Demon to turn her head, "I'm going to go with the wolves to run, maybe allow them to feed. Stay here, alright?"
Kizzy nodded sadly, knowing that "feeding" was Koga's gentle way of saying that he was going to let them loose to kill and eat a village of people.
Koga ran off, causing a small cyclone that fascinated Kizzy following close behind him.
She supposed her new way of thinking started when she finally had the courage to talk this elderly man she had been trading with, in exchange for harvesting some food for him, she'd take some, he had even left her a wooden cup as a thank you!
She really liked that old man, he was blind and didn't seem to notice, or perhaps didn't care, that Kizzy was a demon. His name was Yami and he was something that he called a "scholar" and liked to make Kizzy think.
Why do the stars change every season?
I don't know.
If you rolled two balls of different weight, would they land in the water at the same time or different times?
I don't know.
Why does the moon change every night? What makes it disappear? What makes it reappear?
I don't know.
Why do birds always go back to their nest? Even after they're all grown up, their parents were dead and gone, and they haven't been there for a whole year?
I don't know.
Who? What? Where? Why? How?
I don't know.
She liked Yami. She honestly liked Old Man Yami, and every once in a while, she'd ask Hakkaku or Ginta one of his questions. The two's response would be a laugh and their own question: Why does it matter?
…
Kizzy didn't know that either.
So she sat there, thinking, pondering… Until she smelled something out of place.
Kizzy had destroyed her sense of smell, but this smell was overwhelming. No, nothing was causing her hemophobia, her fear of blood but… What was that smell?
She stood up and began jogging along side the edge of the cliff she was at as she noticed Lord Koga, a cyclone being her flag to know he was coming, was carrying the smell. She yelped when she noticed Birds of Paradise, their only natural enemy, above them.
Kizzy's body froze, her mind blank and her muscles not allowing her to move. She couldn't leave Lord Koga—But she wouldn't be any help either! There were too many Birds of Paradise, that if she sacrificed herself, there'd be too many to still grab Koga for her to try…
But she couldn't leave him!
Kizzy, allowing her instincts to take over, grabbed small stones that were littered on her small cliff side and began throwing them at the ugly feathered beings. She tried to fire herself up, get herself excited, adrenaline pumping, as she thought of all the reasons why she should hate the Birds of Paradise…
They killed her comrades, even if they bullied her, and made her worry about her friends being next.
They killed innocent humans, and made her wonder if Yami would be gone by the next day.
They threatened Lord Koga and the existence of her pack.
They forced all the other female Wolf-Demons into hiding.
They ate their food, causing wars between tribes over survival. One of those wars took away her father.
They stole away her mother.
She was alone because of them… And she wouldn't allow them to steal anyone else the she cared about!
She continued chucking stones, grabbing the Birds of Paradise's attention, and to her delight and horror, was granted the attention of the whole flock that had been chasing after Lord Koga.
She allowed them to piece together that the female Wolf-Demon had been the one that had threw those rocks and began running away from the direction of her pack, the direction Lord Koga had been running. She had planned to run as far as she could, as far away from anyone she cared about, and let them take her. She couldn't kill them; she'd freeze and throw up after just cutting a single one. All she could do was distract them and get them far away…
"Kizzy?" she heard Lord Koga yell frantically as the girl continued running
"KIZZY!" he yelled after he realized after the girl's locks confirmed the truth, as the Birds of Paradise went after the interesting blonde instead of him
But a ledge gave out underneath her, the rock being eroded away from the nature of erosion, causing her skin of her ankle to break (not bleed) as she skidded down, screaming from shock, the Birds of Paradise descending on her—She didn't stop screaming when she felt something grab her, expecting it to be the Birds above her, but knowing it wasn't when she felt the arms go around her in a tight hug as it ran away.
She stopped screaming when she realized it was Lord Koga who had grabbed her, taken her from danger, before running into a nearby cave. The said cave being too small, too low to the ground, for a Bird of Paradise to fit.
"Lord Koga!" she cried as she wrapped her arms around him, crying into his shoulder from the fear she had been carrying with her
She had lied. She did care if she died, even if it was to save the ones she loved, she still was scared. But was that a bad thing? She didn't want to die, just like everyone else. She wanted to continue visiting Yami, playing with Ginta and Hakkaku, hanging out with Lord Koga, gathering up her thoughts on ledges as the sun moved across the sky…
"…That was a very stupid thing you did." Koga scolded gently into her gold locks as he hugged Kizzy back, the two now safely hidden in the cave he had ran into
Kizzy didn't reply, her breath and chest unable to calm from her sporadic breaths and her tears unable to stop.
Was it bad of her? To not want to die? Even if it meant saving her loved ones?
Nobody lives forever, was that why she didn't want to die? She wanted to stretch forever for as long as possible?
Kizzy didn't know the answer to this either.
She began to calm down after Lord Koga allowed her to sit down, calm her nerves, as they waited out the Birds of Paradise. Eventually, the wretched animals did leave and only then did Koga and Kizzy do the same.
Her face was red and tear-stained from shock, but at least she had calmed down and wasn't crying anymore. It pleased her somewhat for some reason that they weren't racing to the cave, and were just walking. It allowed her to piece her thoughts up again, and when she finished, she realized something…
"Lord Koga," she spoke softly, "Why do you smell, …like a dog?"
She could see Lord Koga's face flush as he responded, his hand behind his neck, "You're nose is just messing with you again, Kizzy!"
"…But Lord Koga…" her tone didn't change as she boldly, but gently, looked up at him, "I destroyed my sense of smell, if I can notice it, I assure you the rest of the pack defiantly will too."
Koga was silent as he thought this over before glaring at something in the distance, his arms crossing themselves, as he spoke evenly, "When I was feeding the wolves…a MUTT came and killed some of them-"
Kizzy looked at him, agape.
"But when I was about to battle him, I felt something odd pulling me away, so I followed it-"
Kizzy sighed quietly; in other words, he felt danger and ran. Not something unexpected or unusual for Lord Koga or any of the wolf tribes. Still, she had heard of stories where heroic wolf-demons didn't listen to that feeling and stayed and fought.
She'd never admit this to anyone, especially Lord Koga, but she always secretly admired the heroes in those stories a little more then she should.
"And…" he looked over at the albino worriedly, "there was a girl with him…a human girl, who could see jewel shards. ….I've been thinking of taking her for my own."
Kizzy blinked and looked up at him, Lord Koga was… going to get a mate?
Koga kissed Kizzy's lips gently, her body freezing again, and as he pulled away he smirked wider.
"That someone is going to try to steal you away from me." he caused their foreheads to touch again, smirking wider as she turned redder, looking down, "Don't worry Kizzy, they aren't going to win."
Kizzy shook her head to get that memory out of her head, her face bright red; the idea of LORD KOGA taking HER was preposterous! What would the pack say? Before loosing her courage, she looked smiling encouragingly at Lord Koga.
"A human that could see jewel shards! That's amazing Lord Koga!"
The wolf-demon flushed, as he responded coolly, "You wouldn't mind…?"
"Of course not! She would certainly help you find the Birds of Paradise's jewel shards! Not to mention any others that may be around! That's a grand find, Lord Koga!"
Lord Koga pursed his lips.
"If you say so… then I'll just get her tomorrow."
Kizzy nodded happily, trying to ignore the horrible feeling in her chest.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Kizzy fiddled with her blonde curls again, looking down at the pond's reflection underneath her…
She had just came back from Yami's house, the elderly man –even if he was blind- noticing her uncomfortable feeling inside her. He asked what was wrong, and Kizzy shook him off, saying it was nothing with a beaming smile.
Yami could be scary at times,… such as right then, what he said next made Kizzy freeze up.
"You're a beautiful girl Kizzy, inside and out and that boy you like would be lucky to have you. You just have to ask yourself; whose opinion do you care about more? His or theirs?"
Kizzy could've laughed, she could've corrected him, she could've done a lot of things to make him think he was wrong… But instead, she proved him right by running away, not stopping until she couldn't run anymore, ending up just before a pond while leaning against a kind tree.
Yami was wrong; she didn't like a boy… And if she did, his opinion would matter most! Right?
She took a shaky breath.
The nearest thing she had to "liking" a boy, was Lord Koga's teases. And—And she couldn't be HIS mate, he'd be ridiculed for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be taken seriously as the leader ever again! He would be MATES with a girl that was scared of BLOOD for gods sake!
But…
She was… She was…
Beautiful?
She almost sobbed when she down at her reflection and threw a stone at it angrily.
As if.
She was a freak.
And no wolf in his right mind would want a freak for a mate.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
When Kizzy was bringing in her breakfast (which included eggs, fish, and a few vegetables and fruits she took from Yami's yard without saying hello) she could smell human about a yard away.
So she put on a bright face and smiled, this was Lord Koga's soon-to-be-mate after all and she'd want to make a good first impression on the girl! …But as soon as she walked in to the cave, all the males in their usual places, though it was obvious they all just wanted to eat the girl, she sighed. She scanned the area, seeing Ginta and Hakkau were off, probably with Lord Koga, she noticed a girl in the weirdest green and white outfit holding a… was that a badger-dog or a fox demon child? Either way, she made her way over and sat down in front of the hay bed where they were both laying, looking at the girl as if they were worried she'd eat them too.
She smiled and offered out her basket/hat of food, "Breakfast? It's fresh, I got it myself."
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Kagome, to be quite blunt, was rather surprised to have met a blonde, female wolf-demon that was practically a vegetarian. She also surprised to learn of the girl's rather timed personality and tendency to give respect (even to those who did not deserve it or asked for it), how she just stepped down when the other wolf-demons bullied her, and especially how she managed to seem more… well, HUMAN then demon.
But she was, above all, shocked how nicely Kizzy took her and Shippo's attempted escape.
Kizzy smiled, "You gave up your freedom to save Sir Shippo? That was rather kind."
Kagome blinked, "…You aren't mad?"
It was Kizzy's turn to be shocked, "Why would I be?" She looked almost sad as she looked at the ground as she fiddled with her thumbs, "L-Lord Koga praises loyalty…"
Kagome blinked and then smiled, "Kizzy-chan… do you like Lord Koga?"
The immediate crimson blush on Kizzy's face was inevitable, "O-O' course I like Lord Koga…! H-He's the leader of our p-pack!"
"No… I mean LIKE-LIKE, you know~" Kagome couldn't help but think how cute Kizzy looked when her face was bright red and her tongue tripping over itself in slight stutters.
She shook her head frantically 'no', "N-No, I don't understand what you mean! B-But, sorry Lady Kagome…! I-I must… I have to go!"
Kizzy began running outside, leaving Kagome who was giggling at her new friend's shy actions, not knowing that would be the last time she'd see Kizzy.
The last time anyone saw Kizzy.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
The only thing Kizzy hated more then puking after the sight of blood, is fainting after the sight of blood. Which is what she did after she had accidentally made the mistake of running into the last village that her pack's wolves had been… "feed" with.
First, she puked uncontrollably about 8 or more times.
Second, her stomach now empty and weak, she staggered to try and get away.
Third, she couldn't get the smell out of her nose and just fainted in the middle of a barren area, not seeing the sun being blot out with multiple shadows until she was already gone…
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"WHAT?" Koga yelled, frantic, at Ginta and Hakkaku, the messengers of the news
"H-How could she just… just DISAPPEAR? Kizzy isn't like that!"
"W-We know Lord Koga…!"
"We-We just can't find her!"
"Y-You don't think that maybe one of the Birds of P-P-Paradise might've…!"
Koga picked up Ginta, who had been the last to try to talk sense into Koga, by the collar. His next words were low, cold, and full of venom demanding to not be crossed.
"Find—Her—NOW."
