Clan of the Darkrai

Chapter 4

Cresselia(s)?

"Feather, Saffron, Zad all shall come with me." Blarc called out to his clan, the three darkrai came forward with a smirk on their faces. The first one was a pretty young darkan with cream colored eyes and a Mandibuzz feather in her hair. The second was a sturdy old Darkon with a long scars dotting all over his body that still had a red tint to them. A third was a shiny darkon who seemed shier than he actually was.

I watched as the three left murmuring to themselves, waving to those that they pass by. I felt someone behind me and looked over my shoulder at Kuro. I flinched when I saw a bit of anger flashed in her eyes for a few moments, but that soon disappeared.

"Hello runt." Her sickly sweet voice growled as she floated in front of me. "It's kinda strange not seeing you hang off of Vince." She said with a dark grin that made me shiver a bit. I shook my head at her and calmly hissed. "He's busy." She coolly blinked at me and then turned around. "Whatever, I just need to tell you that someone named Iris wants to see you. She's at the bonfire." Kuro threw over as she floated off.

I tilted my head at her and then started off towards the bonfire.

The bonfire was actually was a large black flame. It was made by our founding mother, Larka, forged from her own soul. It holds power beyond any darkrai's here, but sadly no one can use it. So it sits there blazing darkly licking everyone who dares gets close enough to feel it's breath.

I saw a fledgling looking darkrai with very dark blue eyes. She was four years younger than I and I was just made a Member. I blinked and floated over to her calling happily. "Hello Iris!" Her eyes lit up and she waved at me. "Hello Yuna! I've got news!" She called happily floating to get me.

We touched the tip of our claws together with one another in greeting before dipping out heads. "Yes?" I said as I suddenly felt excited by meeting the young Darkan. She clicked her tongue and then said with a grin. "I just saw a-"

"CRESSELIA GET THE YOUN'INS INSIDE!" A darkrai on sentry called excitedly to the clan. The darkrai around him got into position getting ready to attack while the mothers shooed their offspring back into the nursery.

I saw Vince among the Darkans and Darkons at the front line. I got ready to join him but I was stopped by a tug on my shoulder. "Yuna, no." I heard Iris whisper and I stopped to see Vince glaring at me from the corner of his eye.

Suddenly three dark shapes emerged from the tunnel and then a sweet voice shouted. "Calm down dark ones! I have come with a message!" I blinked as gasped when I made out the shapes.

Two of them were Cresselia, one had pretty silver and white wings with deep green eyes, the other was a strong maleish looking one with a shiny moon around his neck. The third was a darkrai, he had a dark red body with gold eyes, strange to say in the least.

Darkrai all around them quickly look at each other and blinked in confusion. They were trying to figure out whether to believe them or not. They murmured and muttered among themselves flashing glances towards the three before the lead nodded.

"Come with me, Vince you too." He turned and floated past the surrounding darkrai followed by the two Cresselia and Darkrai. Vince took up the rear and shot me a look that said "stay away." I flinched back and let out an uneasy growl as he passed by. He didn't seem to happy with me, for some reason I can't fathom.

I suddenly caught eyes with the male Cresselia and he gave me a saucy smile, then winked. I turned a bit red and looked away just as Vince glared darkly at me. He muttered something to the Cresselia and he laughed at Vince in his face. Vince ignored him and looked towards me with a hateful look.

I looked away and sadly sigh which Iris caught. "Lover's quarrel?" She said smugly tapping on the shoulder. I looked at her in a startled manner and shook my head furiously, crying. "N-No…" I rubbed the back of my head nervously and looked away as a blush graced my cheeks. "We aren't even together." Iris chuckled at me and tugged on my arm before whispering. "That was who I saw." She said looking back towards the tent grinning. "Cresselia."

I looked at her a bit startled by didn't say anything. Iris said goodbye and floated off towards the nursery chuckling to herself quiet. I stuck my tongue out at her and then turned around with a huff.

'Yeah, right…' I thought shaking my head, glancing back towards the tent just in time to see the male Cresselia heading towards me. I froze up a bit at the smile he was giving me, it looked…. Flirty. I felt uncomfertable and uneasy at this look. I turned to leave but stopped when I heard,

"Hello beautiful dream." The male said as he looked at me from head to "toe". I felt my cheeks burn as he held out his paw towards me grinning wider. "Ah, such beauty for someone so young, so young." His deep voice purred before he took my hand in his. His chestnut eyes sparkled with a warm light as he murmured, "I am Dreamwhisper, who are you my lovely?" I felt the blush on my cheeks deepen and I snatched my hand away.

Some of the darkrai around me stopped at glared at us warningly, obviously not liking whats going on. I turned away from him and started to float off but a strange, warm tugging on my body made me turn around. Dreamwhisper's eyes were glowing with psychic energy as he pulled me towards him.

"I expect a name." He said smoothly as I released me from his power with a wide grin. I rubbed the back of my head and bit at my lip nervously. "Y-Yuna…" I managed to spit out as he looked at me over again. I felt myself shiver at the feeling of his eyes running over my body. I hate it, not even Vince does this.

"Ah…. I have a feeling our destinies are intertwined." He said as his eyes glowed brightly with a small bit of happiness. He reached out with his paw again murmuring, "Take my hand, I wish to speak with you… Alone…"

My cheeks grew hot again and I shook my head at him. "N-No, I cannot." The look on my face was a mix of fear and nervousness. An old darkrai fear of her enemy, Cresselia was the real reason why.

Dreamwhisper frowned at me and shook his head sadly. "Ah, Cress was lying to me then." He murmured sadly as he turned away from me to gaze at the leaf covering. "You darkrai are really fickle, not even letting light in." He said in a observing way. I looked away again and scratched my head.

But suddenly coming to my rescue was Lucas, he carried a empty sack for berries with him. "Hey Yuna wanna c-come with me?" I gratefully smile at him and nodded eagerly. "Yes!" I cried before turning to Dreamwhisper. "B-Bye." I quickly floated to Lucas's side grinning. The elegant looking Darkon looked at me and then we left.

But unknowingly Vince had seen it all from the shadows. He frowned darkly as he watched Yuna float off with Lucas. "So she wants to play games with me?" He growled, tightening his fists in anger. "Fine, she'll get the same." He turned and floated off back towards the leader's tent hissing.
