The First Sign
"Yeah. I'll pack up a few things and... then feed Quik, Swichim, and Slith.." Ryukiba said, absent mindded as her heart throbbed somewhere in her head...Over taken by a sudden headache that many would associate with drug withdrawal.
"And Vine." Said Kuroneko, crackling a nervouse smile before Yusuek yellled something to her from the kitchen. She turned around, trying to hear yusuke but without any luck, but when she turned back she saw Ryukiba's door shutting, and, with a defeated sigh...she turned to go fidn out what Yusuke wanted.
Ryukiba Slid down ehr door, her hands oon her haed and suddenly she contorted in the pain she had fought back infront of Kuroneko...And slowly it stopped after a few moments, amking Ryukiba smile and chuckle in reflief before he spoke.
"...Aren't you going to feed Quik, Switchim, and Slith?" His satin voice ran over her with the entoxicating feel of anothers satin blood rolling over her as if from a bloody rain. "And Vine." She said after a fwe seconds and the dragon hissed in laughter.
"No little one...The smallest is eaten first." She nodded before walking into the room, never picking up any prey as she walked to teh large cage...only half paying attention as tried to remember what had hurt her liek that before...
But she came back to life when the dragon's voice scolded herw ith a harsh hiss and she leapt up to the cage and callled to Vine with a whispered growl...
He slid his green body up to glass to where she had openned a hatch in eth galss...but as oon as she drew him out and held him she leapt into the cage and her grip tightend on Vine's middle and he thrashed and hissed as she ripped him off her and threw him to theground where she grabbed him by eth neck with both hands and gave a silent call to Switchim, the huge python...Quik, the Water Glider who outgrew any other...and Slith, Vine's younger, and smaller sister.
They glided, swam, or slithered from where they where stationed and hissed as she released Vine and gave another silent comand...The snakes darted after Vine, and Slith caught him first, biting into his side as eth others followed..yet.in some twist of fate...Slith was the one ripped to pieces by the other snakes...and Ryukiba laughed as she leapt and climbed from the hatch.
When she returned to back to her room she took hardly anything... merely a large amount of bandages, and a large black book she ahd written in since childhood...but as she rumaged for her necklace she found something...a small vile filled with blue-green liquid.
"Pison...I...Kuroneko hasn't let me make my poisons since ...you know." Ryukiba realized the dragon was in slumber when he made no remark...and she put th vile in her small bag before pulling out her old cloths and tearing the black rags she wore now from her...
She paused before she dressed and after catching the image of herself in the mirror...a thin, muscular girl with skin worn rough from running into the wind and littered with white scars..but...
Is tail began on her left kneecap and wond up her body untill hsi head camer to rest on her throat..she lookeda t her face once more andsaww taht her cloud black eye was looking a bit darker then usual...she dressed quickly in long fighting pants, a black tank top and a white scarf..to hide the serpentine dragoms haed as she heaved the bag over her shoulder...
And aftera few momenst of waiting Ryukiba walked ouut the door for the first time in fifteen years...
And the dragon insidde heer grinned as he thought of what was to come.
