"Stop! You can't go on!" The girl screamed at the warrior about her age who immediately began charging again, running after the monster fleeing the field. THe girl forced herself in the warrior's way, shoving him back with her hands, halting him to a stop.
"You have to stop please!" Blood squirted out from his wounds as she grasped at them, trying to slow the bleeding the warrior glared at her, as if waiting for her to move out of the way. The girl shook her head. "I'm sorry for all I've done...But you have now please!" the warrior fell forward, causing the girl to stagger backward and catch him, slowing his fall to the mud. Tears streamed down the girl's face, making her unsure if it was just the rain or herself.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. No one was supposed to get hurt. How did we take a wrong turn in life? I can't rewind it and try again. But I can make things better.
Three months earlier...
"I said get out!" A yell came from the bar and out flew a girl. "Ow! Hey watch where you throw jerk!" She yelled back, glaring at him. The barkeep shook his head. "once I say something you should listen to it... " The girl raised a fist at him only to let it down again. "Well if you'd let me help once in a while-- You know what nevermind I'm going!" The girl raised her hands in the air and stormed off. The barkeep rubbed the back of his head and went back behind the counter.
Pulling out a rag and shot his started cleaning the glass, drying it of water. A teen at the counter set down his glass of water. "What was that about Fokoro?" The boy asked as the barkeep sighed. "Aw she's just some kid who keeps offering to help..I don't trust her though cause she's a demon..."
The boy clenched his fist in his pocket and inhaled a sigh. "You know I'm a demon too..." The barkeep shook his head. "No Ryotuki It's just that I'm sensing some dark aura following her around..." Ryotuki shook his head and left, in pursuit of the girl. He paused at the doorway. "What's her name anyway?" He asked and the barkeep nodded. "Neokie...That's her name... "
The boy shook hs head ane exited, running a gloved hand through his dakr hair he looked around, intent on finding out if Fokoro's senses were true. He bent down on one denim covered knee and shook his head. His eyes glowed red as he lifted his head up. A hood covered most of his face which hid a scar running down his back and around his face. He searched the pathway for the girl and noticed fox ears poking out from a corner.
Neokie poked her head out and noticed Ryotuki looking at her. He bit on her lip and went behind the wall again, her heart pounding. 'What's he doing? Is he looking for me?' Neokie thought to herself as she pulled up her slevees that were outstreteched over her hands. A skirt reached down to her ankles as she wore a bandana at the left ankle. A strange way to dress most would think but she was comfortable in that which was all that mattered to her.
Neokie poked her head out and found that Ryotuki was gone. She placed a hand on her hip thoughtfully and looked around. You could never be too careful. SHe shrugged and began walking cautiously now, looking arounda nd glancing at the ground every once and then. Ryotuki found something in this girl that interested him and made him more intrigued about her.
He followed from the rooftops of the town. The girl paused for a moment and entered a small building. Ryotuki jumped down, landing on a roof of a vendor and jumped down from there, entering the building as well. He looked around and noticed Neokie sitting at a table, he approached and let out a sigh. He voice sounded abit embaressed and yet relaxed. "May I... Join you?" He asked and Neokie's ears perked up she turned toward him and nodded. "Sure." She sounded quite cheerful and abit shy at the same time though as Ryutoki sat down.
