Breath and Food

Eyes shut, still curled into a ball she knew everything that happened over the night. What a strange gift it is, to sleep, yet be completely conscious of all taht goes on in reality.

She was not free even in the depths of her slumber.

Something moved beside the bed and she was alive instantly, teeth snapping shut metalically as she snarled at the intruder.

"It's all right. I wont harm you." Kurama chuckled as she turned her attention to the plates of food he was carrying.

She couldn't see it but she could feel that something hot was in front of her, she could taste in the air fruit of some kind and eggs..But she had not yet woken, so still she remained asleep, her mind knowing but her not knowing.

"Hungry? I brought food for you and Hiei."

"Don't bother talking to the foolish beast. she doesn't understand a word."

"Master's Voice." the thought clicked and suddenly her already open eyes opened and she saw what she had already seen.

"What do you mean?"

"She doesn't speak a language from demon world or human world."

"How strange."

The two conversing didn't notice her take the apple carefully in her hands.

It was heavy, which was odd for a piece of meat. It had a smooth sort of skin.. She had never felt smooth before and ran her clawed finger tips over it again.

She had never seen a creature like this...

Red and smooth...

Finally she rammed her fangs in and ripped a hunk off...

Coughing she spit it back into her hand.

Her forked tongue ran over the white flesh and she shook her head in disgust.

Whatever small creature it was, she had no taste for it and was quite glad it did not live in the fiery pits of spirit world where she grew up. Or her mother would had made her eat those instead of the tender flesh of a low class demon.

Hiei looked at her, eyes hinted with a trace of amusement as she went back to the plate and tried something else...

It was another small creature..or was it many small creatures clinging to one skeletal frame?

She bit into one of the small smooth purple orbs and found it tasted with something not of meat, but this one had the same soft consistency as her older brothers flesh had when she had killed him.

Still, that unknown taste made her gag as she put the grapes down and this time he grabbed her arm before she tried something else. "Stop."

He grabbed something long and brown and hissing.

Was it still alive? hissing at him? was master going to kill it right there? She sat perched on the balls of her feet and watched him bite it in half and eat it hungrily.

Kokuryu-Ha could already tell that living in a human world was going to be like when she first opened her eyes her her own world.

New, exciting, and stressful.

But she would do it, for him...And as she ate one of the sausages she realized as she worked her jaws that it was the first solid food she'd eaten in 100 years.

"You fooliosh beast. You've never tasted sweet have you?" Master spoke and she looked at him, clawed hands grabbing another sauge and eating it ferociously.

She couldn't help but cough when she inhaled once more. the cold human air tasted disgusting and bit into her makai-trained lungs. She had not needed to worry about this when she had been a part of Master. Master's breath had been her breath...she had been breathing his blood and his energy.

Hiei amde a small groan of pain as his wrist dribbled alittle blood through teh fesh bandages and she grabbed him, lifted hsi arm, tore teh clean white linen away and licke at teh horrible looking gashes.

His blood now ran through her veins as well, and ehr love for her master woul not fail as her energy healed teh wound slightly and made it stop bleeding.

How amusing it is, that he was her entire world, and she understood nothing he said.

Just then, a knock rang on the door.

I do not breath his blood
