Rath- My, my, not the reaction I expected from the last chapter.
Set- Well, what did you expect?
Rath- Not quite sure myself. You can tell when I write things late at night, right?
Set-
Rath- Okay, well, I decided to type up a portion of the new chap. to answer why D did what he did, because
Set- Good luck.
Count D stared in absolute horror at the new comer who had just walked warily into the gruesome scene. Yet he couldn't help the sweep of relief that consumed him, tough the nagging pang of guilt stayed with him. He had just murdered an animal…and a very special and rare one at that, belonging to a legendary species that he thought was to be wiped out centuries ago.
"T-Chan!" D yelled, jumping to his feet and enveloping T-Chan into his arms. T-Chan clung to D's clothes, still staring at the body on the floor. He was completely taken back and didn't know quite how to react to the dead figure in his form.
"Who's, what the hell is that!" he yelled, pushing himself from D's arms and trotting to the dead body, giving it a nervous touch with his paw. He sneered to the side as he shook his paw, attempting to get the blood off of him.
"A rare breed of shape-shifter. Somewhat like an emotion and memory based chameleon, morphing into a reasonable memory that would force his victim into a state of false comfort. It's a very intelligent creature, drawing on moments that would make more sense than others. A good choice to use your form rather than that of Chris or Leon Orcot." Count D explained, standing behind Totetsu, staring at the body. T-Chan studied it carefully; then growled at it anger flaring inside of him.
"Who sent it? I've never seen in the shop..." He asked in a disdainful voice, aimed at the reflection on the ground.
"My father, no doubt," D nodded, his own hate spilling into his statement.
"So… why'd he send it?" T-Chan this time had made his way and sat down stiffly next to D.
"I had forgotten you were absent when he came to visit. But I believe he is planning something to do with Leon and Chris, but I'm not sure what. The shape-shifter was an assassin." D mumbled more to himself than to T-Chan, holding a hand by his mouth.
"Well, no shit, D…" T-Chan said, looking up. The response was at first a humorless laugh. T-Chan felt his ears draw back at his friend's curious behavior.
"You're beginning to sound like the oaf himself."
"Look, it's just a bit unnerving to see yourself dead on the ground." He said, glaring momentarily at D before turning away with a swish of his tale.
"I understand. It was also a bit unnerving for me to have to kill an creature in your form." T-Chan paused, a grin on his lips He sniffed the air.
"Hey, D?" He said, turning his head and eyeing the still D.
"Yes, T-Chan, you can eat it." He said, sighing, almost sounding like his normal self.
"Thanks." Immediately he was upon the carcass, stripping off whatever flesh he could.
"We need to go find them." D sighed, sitting down on his knees once more. He snatched the head from besides him and raised his hand into the air. A large bird immediately landed upon it, slanted eyes peering at the head in disgust.
"Take this to my father. I'm sure he will appreciate such a trophy." With that the bird flew from his hand and knocked the door open in a torrent of wind from the beat of its wings.
Rath- It was short. But it answered why D killed "totestu." Okay, 'till next time, mates. Ja ne.
Set- Later.
