Author's note: I had a hard time trying to figure out how a Predator would sound speaking English so I just made up, sorry... I apologize for any mistakes. Enjoy!
She peek from her arms and saw another creature it look similar to human in shape but the clothes, hair, skin and claws reveal that this thing was not human. He was staring at her scamming her, after 15 seconds he realized she was harmful. His code of honor say he couldn't kill her since she was no treat, besides she seemed weak but she knew of his presence that until now was unknown to the humans. Setg'in almost hit himself for not noticing this human was so close.
"W-What a-are you?" She stammered, finally getting the courage to speak. She was still sitting on the ground scared.
Setg'in cocked his head to the right side, and then he translated what she said with his mask. He responded with just clicking noises, toying with the human.
"S-Sorry I don't understand you…" said Sakura still cautions and scared.
Setg'in responded with some more clicks, he knew she didn't understand, he wasn't talking either, but sometimes he liked to play with his prey. After a while he decided to let her live. He turned his back on her and started to go on his way to complete his mission.
Sakura thought this creature was not the enemy since he didn't kill her and probably she would be matter if she stayed with him, he looked like a warrior to her.
"Wait!" Sakura said getting up, this sudden movement made Setg'in click his mandibles and turn around looking for an aggressive behavior from her.
Setg'in growled softly at her, this human behavior made him curious, first her signs show him fear, lots of fear, now she looked so strangely determinate, strong and at ease with him.
"Please don't leave me here alone! I don't know who or what are you… but please help me!" Sakura begged, trying to reach him and grabbing his arm.
He growled with his mandibles flared showing aggression but Sakura didn't understand or saw because his mask was hiding his face. Setg'in didn't like to be touched by what he considerer prey. "A ooman trying to touch me? Pathetic! She's begging like weak prey." He thought. Sakura back away a little trying not showing she was scared, a thing she did a lot, hide her fears.
"Can I go with you?" She asked coming closer but keeping her distance at the same time, she didn't want to do something to make him mad again.
Setg'in clicked and cocked his head to the side.
"Is that a yes or a no?" Sakura try harder to understand him.
Setg'in tried to make a gesture that she could understand that they shouldn't be interacting with each other and she wasn't supposed to even be near him. He remembered that some human's gestures were the same as the Yautja, so he just shakes his head.
"Oh… Well… That I understand." Sakura said softly lowering her head. She began to cry hugging her own body.
Setg'in cocked his head again, he didn't understand very well this emotion, in his race only the weak ones cry, he couldn't take her with him she will probably die, but he heard about Yautjas that team up with humans sometimes but she looked weak and useful yet there was something special about her that he couldn't understand, a strange feeling, so he made a decision that it would change his life. 'I will regret this… But maybe she could be useful.' he thought planning that he could use her as bait. Setg'in snarled making Sakura raise her head. He made a gesture with his hand as a sign for her to follow him.
"Really? Thank you!" she almost ran to hugging him but she stop herself remember what happen before.
Sakura was following Setg'in in the forest when she remembered that she didn't even know his name.
"Hum… Hey! What's your name?" Sakura asked curious. She knew he could understand her, the only problem was… she didn't understand him, but she wanted to, she didn't know why but she wanted to know more about this strange creature.
'Why does she want to know my name…?' Setg'in thought, he turned around to say his name. He knew some words in English but he wasn't in the mood to let her know this, he still thought she was worthless; he only took her for pity.
"Setg'in…" He growled with a deep voice.
"Shering…?" She tried to repeat.
He shook his head "Setg'in!" He tried to sound as correctly as he could.
"SSetgring?" She tried to repeat even more confused, his language seem so hard to pronounce.
He shook his head more aggressively loosing his patience already.
"Setg'in" He growled louder this time, it wasn't his fault she couldn't say it.
"Oh! I get it! Setg'in, right?" She said happily with a smile proud of herself. He nodded in response. "I'm Sakura!" She said, thinking it was polite to introduce herself.
He nod again and continue his way, followed by Sakura, to the center of the city where he planned to leave his remote bomb to exterminate the Xenomorphs, the city and all evidences. 'What I'm going to do with this ooman?' he thought to himself.
Sakura wanted to know more so she risks, asking him another thing.
"Hum… Setg'in?" She tried to catch his attention making him stop.
"Sorry to bother again… but where are you from?" She asked, he could see her heart beating increasing, she looked curious… too curious. He looked at her and pointed to the night sky.
"You mean you're not from this planet?" she asked surprised.
He noticed that her heart beat increased. Setg'in nodded and they continued they're away. 'Why does this ooman wants too known so much about me?' Sakura made him curious; she seemed different yet curious like all humans.
'Oh God! I can't believe I meet an alien with a nice toned body! Wow! What the hell am I thinking?' Sakura thought to herself, she knew this wasn't the time to think about this type of things.
"I can believe I meet a creature from other world! I'll like to know more about you! Can I?" Sakura asked not want to be impolite or do something that could offend him, but she had always been curious about the space.
'Why she wants to know me? Oomans are too curious for their own good.' Setg'in sighed to himself. Then Sakura said something that made him almost hit a tree.
"Take me with you to your planet…" She said stopping and looked to the ground.
Setg'in stopped too and looked at her surprised; she seemed to be thinking to herself. 'Has this female ooman lost her mind?' he thought shocked.
'My father and sister must be dead too… I have nothing left!' Sakura thought, holding back her tears.
"Please my mother died… I lost my father and sister, they're probably dead… My city is destroyed… I have nothing holding me here! Please… I do everything you want just take me with you!" Sakura said coming closer and grabbing his right arm. Setg'in looked shocked, no human ever touch him like that in fact he killed any human that tried to come closer, for the first time he was confused. 'What I do now? I can't take her! H-her touch… is so soft…' he thought and didn't even notice he was purring. Sakura never heard him do that the few time they been together, 'What he's doing? Talking? No, don't seem like it… Weird…' she thought to herself confused too.
Setg'in finally come to reality and acknowledged he was purring, he stopped and pushed the human away growling. Sakura fell in the ground.
"Ouch! What the hell dude? Did I offend you? I'm sorry ok? I don't know how you guys work." Sakura ask getting up rubbing her butt.
Setg' in didn't even know how to react he was an Elite Yautja yet a young one but very wise, honored and with a long legacy of hunts and trophies, but this was different and he didn't understand it. Sakura interrupted his thoughts.
"I'm sorry if I seemed rude… But please take me with you! I want to known more about the universe… and you... I mean your species! " Sakura said scratching her head embarrassed.
Setg'in just looked at her still confused. Nothing was said for a few minutes.
"Hwhyyy… Ooman…?" Setg'in finally spoke 'Let's see if she's worth it…' he thought.
Now Sakura was the one shocked! 'Did I heard well? He can speak!' she thought.
Sakura was so lost in her mind that forgot to answer.
"Sprreak!" he demands loosing his patience quickly as usual.
"You can speak! Why didn't you tell me early it would be easy…" Sakura shouted surprised.
"Me no tarlk verrry much. Sprreak!" Setg'in explained. He knew that he shouldn't been interacting.
"Oh sorry… I want you to take me because I have nothing holding me here… And I want to know more about the universe, your species! I want to learn and I need to be part of something…" Sakura said trying to convince him to take her with him; she finally had the opportunity that many only dreamed about.
'I could use her as my pet maybe and teach her a few tricks… I know some Yautja had taken Oomans with them. But if she wants to be something better than a pet she has to prove herself.' Setg'in thought about what to do with the human.
"Ccoome…" he made a sign with his hand for her to follow him.
He ran and she ran after him. They run for about 10 minutes. He made a sign for her to stop and wait.
Sakura was curious. She hid behind a tree waiting. Setg'in uncloaked his ship clicking in his wrist gauntlet. Sakura was speechless, her jaw almost hit the ground; she was amazed. Setg'in opened the ship so they could get in, they had to be quick. He point at her and then to the ship a sign for her to get in, she obey and entered.
His ship was quite big, she enter and noticed a big hall with a lot of skulls, she stopped to seem them better, her heart beat increased and Setg'in noticed that with his mask he rouse his chest with pride not only for his trophies but also because this weak human was smart enough to admire them. Sakura smile noticing his proud pose, then she began to follow him again. The hall had three doors and in the end of the hall was what she assumes to be the controls room to "drive" the ship. He press some button in one of the doors and it open, reviling a huge kind of bed, two things looking like chairs, maybe a table between them, a huge window, another door and some things she couldn't identify, some looked like pieces of furniture. He moved next to the chairs making a sign for her to sit. Sakura obey and sit on the chair.
"Hwaitrr." He snarled, she nodded and he left the room.
'Wow this is awesome! I meet an alien and now I'm on his ship! But my family isn't here to witness this…' Sakura close his fists with anger trying hard not to cry. After a while Setg'in entered the room again bringing something with him.
"What is that?" Sakura asked curious.
Setg'in give her a mask, not an honorable one just a beginner one, she took her and put it on her face.
"Can you understand now Ooman?" Setg'in asked her trying to figure out if his plan worked well.
"Yes!" She answered him overjoyed.
"Good. The mask can translate you most of our language. Now we can communicate better. You can change your vision too." Setg'in explained her, looking at her, she was enthusiastic.
"This is so awesome! Wait! This means I'm aloud to go with you?" she asked getting nervous and excited at the same time.
"No." he answered without emotion. Sakura face turned to sadness again behind the mask. "You don't understand you can't just come like this…" Setg'in tried to explain but Sakura interrupted.
"Please! I do everything!" she begged almost desperate.
'Everything…?' he thought to himself with a mischievous "smile" but he erased the idea quickly 'But I have to admit for an Ooman she's not bad… And her skin seems so soft.' he thought again.
"You don't understand, Ooman! Is not that simple. You have to prove yourself. You have to be worth it!" Setg'in said sitting in the chair in front of her.
"I do understand! And I would prove you I am worthy!" Sakura really wanted to go with him she was determinate to show him how worthy she was.
"Silly Ooman! You don't have to prove only to me, you have to prove to all of my clan." Setg'in explained better to make her understand it was a huge responsibility and honor to be accepted.
"Then I'll do it! I'll do everything!" Sakura said trying to sound tough.
"I'm sure I'm going to regret it… Yes." Setg'in growled and finally made his mind, making her gasped. "If… You prove yourself to me now." He added trying to discourage the stubborn human.
"How I'm going to do that?" Sakura asked confused. She said she'll do everything but she didn't know what she had to do, now she was getting a little scared now.
"You have to kill one Kainde Amedha." He growled softly, thinking this was a good challenge.
"One what?" she was confused, she never heard of that before.
"The creatures killing Oomans in your city…" Setg'in almost forgot she didn't know the name of the alien creatures as he knew.
"I should have guessed that… But how I'm going to kill those things?" Sakura asked, now she began to get scared and Setg'in noticed that, he was reading her signs through his mask.
"Scared?" He teased her resting his arm on the table.
"N-No!" Sakura answered, trying to show no fear by avoiding his face.
"Don't lie to me Ooman! If you want to come with me never lie to me!" He growled enraged, getting up from the chair, one thing Setg'in hated the most was dishonesty.
"Alright, I'm sorry! A little bit… but I guess is normal… I don't really know those Kainderhs or whatever." She tried to calm him and her fear down.
"Kainde! If you're worthy soon you will learn our language." He sat down again. "I will help you… I will give one weapon, a spear, and I let you come with me but never get in my away, understood?" Setg'in now felt obligate to help her, he found her or better yet she found him without him noticing, she asked him for help and she wanted to be part of his clan.
"Alright! I understand. I'm ready." She tried to convince herself 'Now I have a chance to avenge my family even if I kill just one of those disgusting creatures.' she thought determinate.
"One more thing… Their blood is acid, don't let it touch you." Setg'in warned her.
"Oh that's stimulating…" Sakura chuckled to hide her fear.
Setg'in nodded and got up made a sign to wait. He went to the weaponry room next to the bedroom and he took the spear. 'Hope I don't regret this…' he thought and sighed.
