both-changes in scene
"NO NO NO HOW DID THIS HAPPEN" cried Teresa as she hugged Clare to her who sat there not believing
that she would be a claymore.
"Intresting a girl basically raised by a claymore becomes one "Said the man "I wonder how it effects the transformation"
"This girl is a claymore "Said Miria
"She's the reason we are looking into the future" Said Irene Deneve nodding along
"why would she willing choose to be a claymore" thought Pricilla
"NO WAY that badass claymore on the screen is this little girl "Shouted Helen.
Claire why ..oh why would you become a claymore you know of our hardships "pleaded Teresa sad that her daughter would share her fate yet secretly happy she wouldn't loose her to age she still wanted her to live as a human " Goddess why?!"
"I don't know Teresa I have no wish to become a claymore as right now" Answered Claire though she secretly loved the idea of being like her mother figure.
"If I may interrupt" Spoke Irene "may be something in the future "influences" her decision to become one of us...like maybe the organization"
"That's right if they found you with child they might want to see if the way she was raised effected the transformation " said Galatea
"Yes that would seem most likely" agreed Miria.
"That wont happen I wont allow it to" Hissed Teresa her maternal instincts coming out full force as she pulled her daughter to her side.
"Well not that this hasn't been enlightening but shall we continue"Asked the man in black.
The all agreed and presses play.
clare is standing in a middle of a sand storm in a city look of intense focus on her face. Suddenly figures a jumping across at her. Claire swings her and cuts the monsters in half.
" I still cant believe that bad ass is this tiny little human "Says Helen
"Well I start trying because she is "Said a dead tone Deneve to her friend.
"You'll never kill us all claymore "says the dying yoma
"Oh I don't know about that after all she is very good "Said a amused galatea.
Teresa just looks on still scared for her daughter and the fact that she is apparently destined to become a claymore.
"God the pain alone would drives so many mad "She thought to herself.
Raki is standing off to the side with the other villagers.
"Well what do you know the boy is still traveling with her...do I sense perhaps a pattern hummm? Says the man in black in a creepily sly voice.
"It dosent matter it wont be long now till he leaves her" snorts Irene "humans by nature cant stand us..."
"I don't know "Says Miria "I mean look "She says pointing to Claire and Teresa "they seem to get along quite well"
"This has to be breaking some rule" Thinks Pricilla.
"We shouldn't be out here its too dangerous get back inside and I'll let you know when its safe again "Raki tells a younger girl who is pulled inside a house by a older women.
"He is very brave though "Says Deneve in a rare show of emotions " he chooses to stay outside when not only is there a yoma out there but a claymore fighting it ...it seems like he trusts her to ensure he doesn't die"
The others just looked at her not used to her saying so much with emotion, but still nodded their heads n agreement the boy was indeed brave.
"UGGHHAA" Roars a yoma as it flew off
"A winged yoma " Claire whispered to herself.
"Goddess don't you just hate those " Groans Helen "They are soooo annoying "
"haha yes they are indeed annoying" Said Galatea it was obvious she was more playful then the others " But a yoma is a yoma even if some are cowards ard try to fly away"
suddenly her eyes changed to gold , and her body started shifting. She reeled her sword back and then threw it as hard ad she could towards the airborne yoma. it pierced him through the it fell to earth Claire pulled her sword out of it and sheathed it on her back.
"Wooo whoooo nice throw kid!" Shouts a excited Helen.
"Quiet Helen" sighed Deneve
"Hmmmm it seems she uses her yoki often " says Irene to a still scared teresa" that could be a very bad thing"
"Yes useing our aura is dangerous it seems that she uses it often"Says Miria While Galatea nods her head.
Claire looks at Teresa confusingly and asks "Teresa why is using yoki dangerous?"
but before she can answer the man cuts in " Because child yoki can cause claymore to become monsters"
Claire nodded her head and climed into Teresa's lap trying to comfort her mother figure.
"The job is finished a man will stop by later to collect the money you will give it to him. "Monotones Claire as she walked off.
"She seems to very serious" Thinks Irene "Most who use their yoki that much show a high level of emotions usually associated with anger and rage"
The man was thinking the same thing "Could it be that she has complete control over her yoki."
"Wait" Gasps Raki as he ran to catch up with her.
Most of the claymores laugh at this a boy running after a monster.
Scene change they are leaving the city.
"Claire wouldn't it be a good idea if you took some of the money for yourself?" Asks Raki
"It seems that the boy still knows little about the actual workings of a claymore "Says the man
"A representative from the organization is the one that collects the money" Says Claire looking back at the young boy" Why is there something you need"
"No but ... what happens if you have a emergency ? '" Asks a curious Raki "What cloths like you dot if you need new cloths like you do right now"
for the first time the group looked at her cloths revealing them to be torn up in several places most likely from her last fight.
"cloths really never last too long when fighting yomas Ermita has to bring me new ones at least once a week " Says Galatea
"Same "says Miria a light chuckle in her voice " even with my phantom move my uniform always comes put with holes"
" Answers Claire as she turns back around.
"So do all of the claymores work for someone impoticular ?" asks raki wondering about his companions life.
"It would seem that the boy is getting curious"Says Irene
"Yes it would seem that way "Intones Deneve "Lets see what he will do when he finds out the truth"
" we have been part of the organization since we were very young" Answers Claire in a board tone"
"Really" Says raki " how young? "
"Age differs but usually its between five and twelve "Supplies the man while the others where thinking about the age they were brought to the organization.
"That is irrelevant " Says Claire in her signature monotone her eyes closed ."Age differs for us we cease the aging process one we have been infected with yoma and become a claymore in the organization"
Raki's eyes widen as he thinks to him self as they walk along" Claymores are half yoma which means Claire is half yoma ... but she's still human too...Half human half monster"
"Indeed she is child or at least she will be some day "Says Miria while looking at a much younger Claire.
"Not if I have anything to say about it" Says Teresa with conviction.
"I'm surprised he remembers she's still at least half human" Says Irene "most cant see past the yoma "

The Black Card
"NONONONONONONONO!" Yells Teresa as she pulls Claire as close as possible "NO it cant be oh not Claire ohhhh not Claire PLEASE GODDDESS NOT CLAIRE !"
"Well I guess the yoki has finally become too much "Intones a sad Galatea.
"It seems that way "Says a subdued Irene
The others agreed each looking at the little girl sadly convinced they were about to see her death
Claire and Raki are walking in a desert when Raki's stomach growls.
Claire stops and turns to Raki.
"Hold on are you becoming hungry" Asks Claire a twinge of concern in her voice.
"Well what do you know the girl cares for the boy" Chuckled Galatea.
"It would seem so ...but I cant help but wonder how she seems to have little emotions "Says Irene referring to Claire's monotone way of life.
"Well yeah I mean we haven't eaten anything since this morning" Answers raki "Aren't you even a little hungry"
"Claymores rarely have to eat" Says Deneve
Teresa who was still crushing Claire to her couldn't help but think of the times she almost forgot to feed her.
Claire draws her sword and throws it barley not severing Raki's head. He Gasps as it hits its mark in the form of a big lizard.
Raki is still shaking when Claire asks "Can you cook lizard ?"
They all burst out laughing at this.
Night
Claire and raki were gathered around a fire sitting across from each other watching the lizard cook. claires armor is off for the moment.
"Here you go" Says raki as he gives Claire a lizard leg. "go on take it"
"I guess he cooks after all"Sayd Helen "I was begging to think he was only along for the ride"
"Thank you " says Claire.
"Woohoo it may be ugly but I sure does smell good" Exclaims raki" wish I had some of my seasoning oh well"
Claire giggled at the boy on the screen unaware that the others besides Teresa were watching her.
Claire takes a few bights then puts the leg down.
Raki looks over and sees 'What's wrong don't you like my cooking" Asks raki a bit scared.
"He truly has no idea of our nature does he" Says Miria
"Perhaps the girl shall explaine"Says Irene "Lets watch"
"No it tasted good its just that I'm already full" Replies Claire .
"Wait how can you be full you only took a couple of small bites." Wonders raki.
"It has to do with the way our bodies work a small amount of food eaten every two days or so is sufficient , its not uncommon for claymores to go a week with out food or water intake "explains Claire.
"A whole week" Says raki.
"Watching you eat like that is invigorating , when your appetite is none existent you tend not to enjoy the act of eating all that much." Says Claire
"Well that just means more for me right " Says raki while he scratches the back of his head.
"She explained well enough " Thinks Irene "Leaving out any thing to do with the claymore process or the origination"
"I suppose food is a luxury reserved for humans" Monotones Claire.
They wince at that statment
"Sorry ...why did you become a Claymore" Asks Raki
"THATS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW" Screams Teresa
"Joining with the organization was my only option" Says Claire
"What do you suppose that means" Helen asks Deneve Quietly not wanting to upset the legendary number one.
"Is it hard to become one? "Asks Raki wanting to find out more
"Yes" Says Claire
"Very hard "Says Galatea to her self remembering the pain
"Then why would you-"He starts but Claire pulls out her sword ands starts to sharpen it he gets the message that he shouldn't ask.
"Hehe I like this girl more and more" Says Helen trying to ease the tension.
"Yes very effective" Says Miria.
"I guess I shouldn't be prying like this" He thinks as he takes another bite 'But she seems so lonely I wonder if she has a family or any friends"
Claire is fingering her sword.
"What's that on your chest" Asks raki as he looks ant the strange symbol on her uniform.
They all look at her signature.
"one we get to a certain skill level we are able to go on solo assignments and receive a personal emblem its a unique representation of our name and is used to distinguish ourselves from each other " She replies.
"So when was your emblem given to you?" he asks as she puts away her sword.
"He just doesn't give up" Whispers Miria a bit of of respect coming out.
Claire walks off.
"where are you going" He asks
She simply says "don't follow me" as she walked off into the darkness.
"Straight to the point eh Claire "Laughs Helen.
"Bathroom break" he guessed.
They all snorted at that remark
in the desert with tall rocks surrounding the area
"No one talk here I want to know what's happening to Claire" Threatens Teresa
Claire is walking when a voice sounds out.
"over here "Says a familiar man in black
"Well what do you know I've got a new charge "Says the man.
Teresa glared at him scaring him enough that he shut up
"Your very sweet letting that child tag along he'll soon interfear with your work"Says the man in a sickly sweet voice.
"the boys only my cook he wont interfere in any way" she says.
"your cook ..huh ...you almost sound human when you talk that way"he says"does the boy conger up distant but plesent memory from a previous era ...how sentimental."
"did you bring the change of cloths I requested" she asks not replying to his question.
The cloths were thrown to the ground and she started stripping.
"Turn around "he orders after she was fully naked he kneeled down and examined her stomach" Your becoming reckless"
Flash back
the yoma plunging its arm through her gut.
"the wound might of healed up this time but don't le that blind you, your vulnerable in certain places just like anyone" he says"it is healing up nicely though you shouldn't have to address it after to night"
with that sai Claire stated to get dressed.
After she finished dressing the man chimed in" I wonder how the boy would react if he saw your body" she stopped at that
"try to keep the conversations to a minimum if you become attached your the one who will suffer". He says as he walks away.
he suddenly stops and says "oh I almost forgot I was suppose to give you something...here it is" he pulls out a black turns around quicky. close up of her widened eyes.
"THANK THE GODDESS IT NOT CLAIRE" Gasps Teresa in pure joy.
"Yes it would seem she has not reached her limit" Remarks Irene "Yet"
Helen and Deneve both agree for different reasons Helen is glad the kick ass girl is not dying and Deneve is happy Teresa wont go on a rampage.
The others are content just to keep watching.
"the black card there must be some mistake there no way I can-" she is cut off when he throws it at her. it fall to the ground as she fails to catch it a look of pure shock on her face.
"feel free to read it at your leisure"he says as he walks off.
Claire looks at the card and opens it "Who could it be" she gasps once she sees the symbol.
"It must be some one she is close to "Says Miria remembering the time she had to do the same thing and what "She" said.
Back with raki
"Whats taking her so long...she must have really had to go." he asks out loud as he stretches.
suddeny Claire appeared back.
"Hello "He says to a ever stoic Claire but he could feel something was up "Is something wrong"
"Aww hes worried about her" cooes Helen.
She sits down
"Hey look a dried all the leftover meat "He tells her slightly proud of this "so when ever you get hungry just tell be and ill have it ready in a second"
"Hes smart a trait rare for humans"Says Galatea
Pricilla nodded at this having stayed silent due to disgust at the obvious ..to her... rule breaking
He notices she is sad and crosses over to her.
"Claire ?" He questions
"Tomorrow we head for shele at dawn so be ready to move understand" She tells him clearly not wanting to talk.
"Ok sure" He says.
Later that night. Raki is sleeping.
Claire is thinking
Flashback
A dark cell a girl is crying. its Claire she is sting on the dank floor when another girl there offers her a hand she takes it.
"The transformation" Whispers Galatea the others just look as if they were in pain no doubt remembering their own transformations.
"It's gonna be ok just stay with me and we'll be fine " The other girl says as she kneels down with her and hugs her and Claire cries on her shoulder "Shhhh don't cry"
"It was the only way to survive stick together as much as possible" Says Irene as she grabs Teresa's hand they were cellmates
End Flashback
Raki is still sleeping.
Claire is sitting looking at her her hand.
Up in the mountains. in the ruins a strangled grunt can be hear in the darkness a pair of glowing gold eyes. A hand reaches out and there is a roar of absolute pain.
They all look away not wanting to see a sister in such pain.
"Oh goddess"Whispered Helen "ITs a fate worse then death its self"
Claire who had been listening looked up at mother figure from her lap and asked "Teresa are you gonna change like?"
Teresa was startled at the question but answered "No my dear at least not any time soon"
content Claire snuggled into the person she loved most.
In a mountain village Raki and Claire are walking through mothers pull children away and people shut doors.
"Here is that a-"
"Well I'll be damned its a silver eyed witch"
"Why is did she come here did we send for her"
"there's no way no ones been attacked by a yoma within twenty miles from here"
"just seeing her gives me the creeps"
"I don't like this one bit I don't care if they mean well those witches are trouble"
Raki hearing this commented "How rude you know if a yoma had eaten some of there families they'd all be begging for you to stay"
Raki once again earn point from the claymores with his comment.
"Right you are boy" Says Miria
They entered a inn.
"yeah" said the man at the desk his legs wee propped uop until he noticed it was a claymore that walked in."oh good morning"
"do you have any rooms ready "Claire asked in a clipped tone.
"well uhhh" the man said not really wanting to give a room to a claymore.
"It's for the boy only I wont be staying "said Claire noticing his hesitation.
"your not were are you going" raki asked.
"It seems that the boy is worried "says The man "Is she finaly giving him up?"
"you'll stay here until I finish my assignment" she tells him.
"I want to go" he tells her
"Foolish child "Hisses Pricilla who couldn't stand to watch a obvious break in the rules any longer.
"just wait for me in the room" she says leaving no room for discussion.
"so are you hunting a yoma here when will you be coming back"The man asks scard of the possibility of a yoma.
"they change their tone real quick once the possibility of a yoma comes into play " Snips Helen
the others silently agreeing.
"later your village is clear of any yoma you have my word"She tells him obviously wanting to leave already.
"yes its not yoma she's hunting" says the man.
"Wait" says raki confused why she is leaving "if there's no yoma to kill why aren't you staying"
"don't worry "she replies
"yeah right your just ditching me "He says accusingly.
"Oh look the boy figured it out amazing "says Pricilla with sarcastic disgust.
"I'm not" She says irritated.
"So there is a yoma ...that reminds me I sw another claymore just outside of town a few days ago"Says the innkeeper this gets Claire's attention .
"On shiyo mountain? "She asks.
"Huhh yeah"He answers.
"I'll be back' she says as she turns to leave.
"Poor girl"Whispers Irene remembering all of the friends she had "released " in the past".
Raki watches her leave.
"Sigh thank god "the innkeeper says thankful the witch is gone.
"Claire-"Says raki sad that she left.
"Poor boy with all the time you've spent with a claymore you don't know much"Said a mysterious man "Is it possible you don't know that a claymore is half human half monster'
"Every body be quit I want to know how the boy will react once the truth is revealed "Says Teresa in a no nonsense voice Scaring everyone into being quiet"
"I know about that ...but Claire is no monster"He says.
"shes no human...they take the flesh and blood of yoma into their bodys"The man replies
"Yoma's flesh ..and blood ,What"Raki whispers
"That's what makes them mixed breeds their equal parts human and yoma" The man explains in a mocking voice" our organization created them to fight the yoma epidemic but for some unknown reason we were only successful in modifying the women.
"hold on your saying claymores were human to start with" Exclaims Raki.
"Who knows history isn't clear on that "Says the man.
"Lies" Hisses Miria
"Shh"Says Teresa
"But how do they take in the blood and flesh of yoma and survive ? "asks raki.
Claire is walking down a street humans move out of here way
"Survive?..they don't survive but the fight the monster inside them with the little bit of human their transformation hat remains in them after that hey have its the reason they remain allies of your race"Says the man
back at the inn
"Before humans were helpless against the yoma" the man says to a downtrodden raki" Making claymores the ideal weapon"
"the ideal weapon? " Asks Raki.
"Yes Wepons"Thinks Pricilla "ones you shouldn't be involved with"
"but there is one fatal that effects all claymore that no matter how much they fight they eventully become yomas" Says the man raki's eyes widen at this."the more power they utilize the closer their bodies inch to becoming a monster such is the way of the world im afraid "
Raki thinks back to the times Claire used her powers.
"those who can no longer suppress it are euthanized by the orginzation."The man says to prove a point.
"so that means Claire will become a yoma .. your lying it cant be " whispers Raki In a attempt to defend his companion as he turns and leaves.
"I guess the boy wasn't so brave after all" Says Galatea.
"So it seems"Says Irene.
"Our nature frightened him off "Tunes in Miria.
"Its for the best any way" Chirps Pricilla glad the boy had gone so the rule breaking would stop.
Up in the mountains Claire is walking along a more remembering her time in the organizations cells.
Flashback
"no it hurts ..it burns me " Whispers Claire as she reaches her hand to the other girl.
"They all wince as phantom pain sets in.
End
Claire continues walking until she hers a shout.
"Claiiiirrree" Shouts Raki's he's running as fast as he can to catch up with her.
"It seems you spoke to soon" Says teresa
Claire turns around and see's her young companion running to her.
"Raki..."She whispers "Didn't I tell you to stay behind ? "
"Please Claire whats the real reason your out here" Franticly asks raki "You didn't come out all this way to become a yoma did you?"
"He truly cares for her" Whispers Deneve
the others just looked on bewildered though he knew she could be becoming a flesh eating monster he still followed her.
Claire just stares at him.
"It was unwise for you to follow me your safety is in danger "Says Claire in a monotone "I've told you there is no yoma here...however there is some one that has reached there yoki limit."
"Yoki ?" Asked Raki not understanding the term.
"Our energy"Says Helen to the screen.
Claire stares towards the peak of the mountain.
Suddenly Raki's eyes widen and he understands why Claire is here.
flashback
"I saw another claymore outside of town a few days ago" Says the innkeeper.
end flashback
"It's the other claymore right ? " asks raki.
"correct"Says Claire "I'm going to kill her"
"Wait you are ?" asks a stunned Raki "But she's on your side"
"not any more boy"says Irene
Claire reaches into her armor and pulls out a black card and shows it to raki and says "there's no choice"
"A black card?" Raki says as he takes it "What's it mean ?"
"he's actually trying to learn about us" Says Galatea
Claire puts her sword into the ground and says "on the day of our inauguration each of us is given a single back card to store within our swords .."
Up in the mountain. "for every battle we fight the line is blurred between our awareness as humans and our awareness as yoma" a golden eye shines through the darkness. In time we reach the limits of our human mind and transform into something that we hate..."
"Death is a release at that point" Whispers out Teresa
Claire pulls her sword from the ground and says "Yoma then death is a gift a release from this curse we then send our black card we want the most to kill us"
Helen once again tried to break the tension" Like mother like daughter"
Earn a few chuckled but that's it.
A figure is walking down the mountains.
"so then which claymore sent you her black card? "asks Raki.
"She joined the organization around the same time I did "Says Claire. The figure is revealed to be a claymore with sharpened teeth.
"Its often we kill the ones we've grown close to "Says Miria
Both Claire and raki continue up the trail.
"we always comforted each other through the worst of experiences on the path to becoming a hybrid warrior the pain is utterly devastating the only way to sleep was huddled together "
They wince again at the memory Irene getting closer to Teresa in comfort as they used to do.
Flashback
In the cells
claie and another girl are both on a bed.
"its gonna be ok just stay with me" says the girl.
End
Claire stops and looks up to see another claymore.
she looks over her.
"It's been too long my friend" Says the mysterious claymore "
"Elena "Claire says to the now named claymore "you haven't changed you look the same as I remember you"
"She s still in human form" gasps Teresa "shes using all her will to be able to talk to Claire"
"I'm sorry we had to meet under these conditions I wanted to see you its been a eternity but it seems like only yesterday those days were filled with nothing but pain luckily the only memories I still carry with me are the happy ones we shared I actually began hunting later than you but a reached my yoki limit sooner and now await my death how pitiful of me"
"Its not pitiful "Whispers Helen Being serious for once.
Flash back
Both of them are curled up with each other
"I really believed the power of yoma would bring us greater strength " She voices over
End
"But now " She say as she starts to change "now I know the power of the human heart has to be stronger then the yoma power constantly churning within us"
"Oh no" whispers out Raki.
"Please Claire save me do it quickly while my heart is still human and my soul is my own "Says Elena in a doubled voice.
"Our ultimate wish" Says Galatea"To die a human death it the only thing we want weather by yoma our a friend"
Claire's eyes widen and then she pulls out her sword as raki runs up to her and hug her "Claire ! please don't do it she's your friend there has to be another option "
"im afraid there not " whispers Miria
Claire turns to Elena as she walks toward them "do it "she whispers
"Claire"Raki whispers with both sadness and fear.
"I's no use boy" Says Irene
Claire breaks out of Raki's hold and walks up to her old friend.
"Don't go "he whispers reaching out to her and starts crying.
Elena is still transforming "Claire don't "shout raki one last time.
Clair draws her sword back and quickly cut her in half red blood flying everywhere.
"thank you my friend " whispers Elena for the last time" now I can die as a human being"
They all bow there head in respect.
Later that day .
Claire placed a sword into the ground it would act as a grave marker while raki stood next to her crying.
"Elena and I joined the organization around the same time we always comforted each other through the worst of it she was a skilled warrior is was a shame we had to meet again under such circumstance I will always cherish our memories ..and having joined the organization when I was still very young Elena was the only friend I've ever had n my life"
"Why I just don't get it " Cry's out a Raki "Why fight yoma when you have to endure so much suffering...why Claire"
"ITs just the way things are" Says the man sighing feeling a bit sad.
