All, right I'm back...You don't look happy to see me ;_;. Oh, dear me. How could I have offended you? How- How!?... oh, by being dramatic; so that's how.

Hey, guys its KS, back with another chapter. Hope you like it ^_^.

Now to address to some of my reviewers. Give a hand would ya! *people applaud and some randomly screamed for them to be married as Ddragon21 & JTmonster was introduced.*

Ddragon21 & JTmonster: Hey, D - can I call you D? - and JT - can I call you JT? So, I would like to start off with a thank you for the comments. I was literally smiling like an idiot when I saw it. It's not because you were commenting, it was because you guys/girls(?)were one of the first to review with an actual name. I was actually surprised to finally know some reviewers, so thank you. Oh, BTW, D, you should check out the review section; it will answer some of your questions ^_^.

Now to my contributors! *People cheered like crazy and almost managed to get past the security*

Gofusion: Let's calm down a little cowboy. I know the OC's are in a monster universe, but wristblade? I can't figure out if Cerato or the new Predator. The camo is applicable to your OC, clearly useful for hidden type attacks. I would approve for the sight-thing which could prove useful. Now, sorry for being like this, but sometime I have to limit things. We don't want it to be unfair to the other contributors, do we? Oh, please specify the Shipping thing. BTW, how was the intro, was it cool? Was it bad? It's bad, right? Let me know in the reviews.

13: Okay, I knew there was something missing about the whole couple thing, urgghh! (Assistant: Cancel the whole thing. Make sure you shred all the references, ok? Oh, and memo to me about fighting with Frieza and dominating the world. Mwaa ha ha ah ha!) Now, you're right about the whole brother-sister relationship, but like they say in the teen-girls shows: "you can't be single forever!" I'll find your Oc a perfect match, or you could provide? Up to you.

Hyeo128: Hmm, I like where this is going! The character would definitely fit in as a monster. Plus, the monster would be perfect rival to Gofusion's. *Blush like Hinata* If you want to, that is. Honestly, this character is up to you. It was Gofusion's idea, and I wanted your approval before we give it a go.

Everybody, the contributors! *People went crazy! The security was overrun before they could control the situation.* Oh, boy!


Now to get started!...In Starfang's POV. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!


{Starfang's POV:}

I don't know what came over me.

I've been lying in my cave all day, sitting idle for my legs to recover. Although the wounds healed, they were a bit stiff, so no hunting for me. No, that's not what agitated me; No, what agitated me was when I gave the idea of letting Silverwing go out for patrolling the territory.

I must be losing my mind!

Granted, I am wounded, but that was no excuse to be lending my patrol to...Silverwing. It makes me shiver just thinking about this, but, for some reason, I trust him to it. And I agree, the Rathalos seemed...strange, his word to describe him, but, so far, he proves himself worthy. He has shown to be caring, funny, and...sweet. Did I just say that in my mind?

Ugh, things have been going weird lately, especially that...night, when we cuddled in the cold night. I never felt that warmth in a long time. And it won't happen again.

Let just say that I'm not in a good mood today. I don't know why. I keep having mixed feeling about the Rathalos; it's get even more complicated when he gealed my wound...in that "sort of way" he healed me. I couldn't stop blushing when I remembered that, and I'm blushing right now.

No, Starfangs! Keep it together!

*Thump! Thump! Thump!*

I heard something. It must be Silverwings! I stood hastily until I caught myself excited. Excited?! Please, I'm anything but.

*THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!*

What was that? Something big coming this way. I sniffed the air, there was Silverwings scent and...something else? Whatever it is, it must be food; but it couldn't be since the footsteps were still audible. I tensed, preparing to fight whatever that is out there.

...

"...Um, Starfangs?" A voiced called me, luckily it was recognizable.

"Silverwing? What's with all that noise?" I asked.

Silverwing began to look nervous, glancing over his shoulder every moment. "Um, well, Starfang, can I ask you something?"

He avoided my question, but I'll indulge his for now. "What?"

"Why did you took me in?" he asked, nervously fidgeting. Meanwhile, I was flabbergasted on his question. Yeah, I wasn't ready for it.

"Um, well, I had to." I finally said. "If no one will, then I'll do it." Yeah, that seems convincing.

"That...doesn't make any sense.'

"How about you tell me what does this have to do with the weird noise I heard and...*Sniff! Sniff* I smell something." I made my way to the entrance of the cave, but he blocked me before I got there. "Silverwings, what are you-?"

"Starfangs," he interrupt. "Now, don't be mad at me, but before I show you something, can you promise me you won't attack on sight."

"What is that I won't-?"

"Promise?" I stared at him and vice versa, until I nodded in agreement.

We both stepped outside and- What in the hell is that! Before me stood a monster I have never seen before...Well, now I have. I stood in a fighting posture, ready to lunge at the beast. It didn't seemed scared, but amused. I'll show it something entertaining. I growled and was about to attack-.

"Starfangs!' Silverwing stepped in between me and the thing. "You promised-!"

"What is that thing!?" I shouted at him, but glaring at the monster, "And what's it doing here!?"

"Um, the thing has a name!" it growled in a male voice, and I growled back.

"...Um, I-I helped him."

"What!?" this time I glared at him.

He stammered a little, glancing left and right as I got angrier. "Uh, w-well, humans came into the territory, chasing him." he pointed his tail towards the creature. "I had to, you know. I couldn't leave him there."

"And why not?" I asked with venom in my voice.

"Because he remind me of me, being alone out there with no one to count on." I paused my anger and listened intently. "If you had known the feeling of being different from the rest, you would not understand why I did it and why I appreciate your help when you took me in"

I stayed silent, watching him as he stared at me intently as well. I looked at the monster and it was fidgeting uncomfortably - probably because of the argument we had just staged.

"*Sigh* Fine, he may stay." I said reluctantly. Silverwings was about to say something - probably a thank you - but I cut him off before he did. "But he's your responsibility. I don't wanna go around helping other monsters like it's my damn job! Your responsibility. Got it?"

"Got it."

Then the monster chose this moment to spoke. "Huh, I take it you guys are mates, then."

"No we're not!" both Silverwing and I shouted at the same time, before looking at each other then we turned away in embarrassment.

"Sheesh, sorry about that." he chuckled. I gave him a glare that supposed to say "shut it!" but he was unfazed by it. Either he's stupid or very brave...I picked the former.

"Easy, Cerato." Silverwing warned. "Let us not start any more trouble than there is."

The thing, Cerato, shrugged lazily and made his way into the cave and prepared to sleep. I don't know what came over me then, but I'm starting to regret accepting this thing in here. Seriously, I smell trouble already.

"Don't worry." He said to as if to reassure me, but the thing was it worked. I manage to calm down as he came close to me and smiled warmly. "I'll make sure he cleans up his own mess."

"I heard that!" growled Cerato.

"Well, you're going to." chuckled Silverwings. "If you want to stay, you're going to clean your own mess."

I observed that he was in a good nature as if he was joking with a friend. Wasn't he scared? Must be an idiot, but, then, he's also brave.

"Starfangs?"

"Yes?"

"You wouldn't mind if I marked your territory for you?"

...I changed my mind, he's an idiot.

"You did what!" I began to resume my anger. Before he could explain I tackled him and he laid sprawl under me. I bared my fangs and looked into his eyes, and he did also with surprise in eyes.

"W-wait-!"

"Why did you do that? Are you sure you're not here to take my territory?!" I roared in fury. "For you to mark my territory means two things, but I'm willing to bet on one of them."

"A-and what that may be?" he stammered.

"You're here to take over my territory, my home, everything that I have defended for the last decades." I said with finality. I stared into his eyes, glaring daggers into him. Oh, if I could see myself.

"Starfangs," he began. "I did not meant to mark it as a sign of takeover."

"Then why did you?" I loomed my face closer to his, intending to bite off his head if he lied. Or his throat, the juicy part.

"I did it because someone marked that part of that territory. I figured I should remark it before someone gets any idea on entering our- I mean your territory." I saw him winced, maybe because he said "our".

"What-?"

"I only did it to make sure no one gets our- your territory!"

"...Look me in the eyes and tell me what you said is true."

"...It is the truth. I owe you more than I could repay you, so I thought I could help out since you were injured and in needs of rest." he said, calmly. I stared into his green, innocent eyes and I see no falseness in them. I continued my stared until I calm down as well.

"...I believe you, Silverwing, for now." I got off of him and he got up also. He shook off the tension off his shoulder after being crushed by me. Then he lloked at me curiously, making me wonder on what he wonders. "What?"

"You said that there were two reasons that I could have marked your territory, what was the second?"

"...Um, well..." I began to blush, making Silverwing looks at me even more curious.

"What?"

"I-it means we're...mates." he started to blush harder than me, which was kind of cute. "You see, a Rathian is not supposed to give her territory unless it's by force or we're practically mates."

...

"...Oh. I see now."

"Hey!" the voice of Cerato interrupted. "While I know you two are not mates, but get a cave already." my faced redden in anger and embarrassment after that. "If not, can I sleep in peace!"

"Hmph! This cave belongs to me, I don't take orders from you, which gives me right to chase you out right now if I dare." I snarled.

"Please, spare me the punchline of that joke. I had enough of that for today." he said curling up to sleep.

I just glared at him and then made my out of the cave.

"Hey, Starfang, where are you going?"

"I'm going for a flight. Besides I need to remark that territory of mine, which you took."

"Hey, I'm sorry about that, alright? But you need your rest, and I won't allow you to go out."

"Grrrrr!" I growled in annoyance at his words. "Try to stop me."

Then, the unspeakable happened, he came up before me and blocked the way. I snarled at him but he wouldn't budge. I tried to move around him but he was determined. Stubborn as hell, too. I tried again to move past him, but,now and again, he blocked me.

"I don't have time for your silly jokes, Silverwing!"

"Neither do I, nor am I joking now." he growled at me. I mean, he actually growled at me! "It is either you get back in that cave or I put you there myself."

"You wouldn't dare!" I hissed threateningly at him. I watched him looked more solemn more and more as I defied him. Then he smiled, a wicked looking smiled, which seemed to have bear a mischief within them.


Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

I don't know how he got the guts to do it, but he managed to put me back in the cave.

If you want to go into details on how it happened here's the story: He smiled at me in mischief, then he proceeded to push me back by tickling me, again! I tried, I swear I tried, to resist but he overcame me and I am sitting here, miserable as always. Plus, I get to share the cave with...Cerato. I was on guard all night, watching him for any funny business. So far, nothing.

Silverwing came back with food, enough of it to feed us all; including big and scary over there.

He dropped his load and announce dinner. "Alright, come and get 'em."

I stayed silent from answering him, still fuming on what he did. He pushed over the meat to me, and the other to the monster besides me.

"Hope you're hungry or these will all go to waste." he said cheerfully.

Cerato woke and devoured the food without any time to waste. Silverwing stayed silent but observing the creature. Cerato noticed his stares and was annoyed by it. I could tell.

"What? You're looking at me like I just grew a second head,Sil." Sil? What kind of name is Sil?

"Sil?"

"I wanted to shortened it."

"I think it sounds ridiculous." I earned myself a glare from Cerato for that. Hmm, who cares.

"Well, you wouldn't mind if I shortened your name to Cera, do you?"

"That sounds like a girl name!" he complained.

"Seems befitting." I cut in.

"Oh, yeah? Well, you're not so much a shining star, sunshine."" I growled at him, but Silverwing defused the situation with a chuckle.

"Yeah, Starfangs like that, but you'll get used to it." this time I directed my glare to him. "Well, Cerato, I wanted to know where you are from."

"...From nowhere." he said, dejectedly.

"You, too, huh?" he just shrugged as an answer. "Well, I guarantee that you could stay here until you recover, and so I will. When you recover, you made those choices, Okay?" Cerato nodded. "Considering your fight out there, I think you were bred for war," he commented to Cerato.

"...I wasn't bred...I was designed." I was shocked at what he said, but Silverwing looked unsurprised at all. He just looked sad and solemn.

"I see." What he wasn't going to what he meant "Designed"? "It's okay to feel different, but I expect you wouldn't agree."

"Pffft, at least my difference helps keeps me alive." he snorted.

Silverwings only smiled. "I share that same feeling, my friend... Get some rest. I'll go hunting for food for you guys." He lifted off and I was alone in the cave with Cerato.

"You know, for a Rathalos, he's not too bad." he said to me.

"Hmph, more like annoying."

"Heh, yeah, I can see that. But that's just another surface to scratch." I was about to ask what meant by that, but he yawned and curled up to sleep.

I racked my head over this curious situation, but I felt the yawning sleep coming over me.

*Yawn* well, time to go to sleep.


Whew! That took long!

Hey guys that's it for today and I'll see you in the next chapter.

Peace!
