"Merry Christmas, Yena!"
It has been a month since the incident in Yena's house. At first, Hounder was hesitated to talk to Yena about it. When he feels she's okay, he asked her about the argument with her mom.
"Huh? That? Oh, it's no big deal anymore." After that sentence, Hounder didn't pry any further. But his discovery is still stuck to his mind…
"Hounder, it's not Christmas yet. It's only a few days away." Yena said, closing her locker. Her attire isn't much. Only a gray shirt, black jeans and a pair of white shoes. Hounder pouts a little at her lack of enthusiasm. Usually, Yena loves holidays and yet, Christmas seems to only make her mood go down.
So much for a cheery greeting.
"Where's your excitement, Yena? You're usually interested in holidays."
"Well, this one I don't need to think…" Yena walks down the hall to get to her Training P.E class with Hounder following her out to the field. A group of students start to whisper about the rumors.
"Hey, isn't that Goody Poochy?"
"Yeah. How did SHE get Hounder?"
"Maybe she offered herself to him. Ha! Such a slut."
Rumors of Yena dating Hounder began when a student saw the latter holding Yena and running out of the school. Ever since then, students, mostly girls, started 'tackling' Yena. Even though Hounder never got wind of this, Yena didn't wish to bother him over little things.
Although, there are some suspicion that Hounder knew already but decided to wait for the right time to strike…
"Don't you celebrate Christmas with your mom?" Yena sighs softly and shakes her head.
"No. On Christmas, mom goes to my grandparents' house. I can't go because…" Her voice dies out slowly with her head lowered a little. Hounder, noticing her pain, wraps his arms around her neck from behind, placing his chin on her head.
"So you have always been alone at this time of year, huh?" No answer. Well, silence is golden. "Then you can come celebrate Christmas with me and my family!" Yena turns her head a little, staring at him at the corner of her eyes.
"R…Really?" Hounder chuckles and nods softly.
"Yeah. Besides, little Iron has been asking 'Is mommy gonna come on Christmas?'. I'm surprised you got him to break out of his shell a little." Yena laughs and smiles softly.
"I think he only asked that because I brought his favorite kind of books." She closes her eyes and grins a little. "Besides that, I'm quite glad they liked my cakes."
"Are you kidding?! Gardine has been wondering where you get the recipes from and I have never taste a pie that good. Seriously, what's your secret?" Yena blinks and looks up a little, Hounder's eyes looking down at hers.
"Doesn't Magia's baking taste better?" Hounder raises a brow. He looks up a little in thought.
"Well…I don't honestly find it very good. Just ok." Yena nods quietly and looks at the ground. "Oh yea, what do you want for Christmas?"
"You tied up to a pole."
"Haha. Kinky." To this, Yena elbows his stomach, causing him to let go, coughing in pain before laughing softly. "B-But seriously, what do you want for Christmas?" Yena stares at him, not speaking for a while. After a moment of silence, Yena only shrug.
"Nothing." Hounder blinks at her disinterest on getting what she wants. He scratches his head softly.
"Really? There's got to be at least one thing you want…" Yena shakes her head and sighs.
"There's nothing I want so you don't have to keep thinking on it. But…" Hounder stares at her eagerly, wanting to hear what else she has to say. "There is…this one thing I want…"
Before Hounder gets to ask though…
"Hounder!" Absaly suddenly appears, hugging Hounder and rubbing her slightly larger than average breasts on his face. A dark aura surrounds Hounder as he growls and pushes her off.
"Stop rubbing yourself on me! How many times I told you that I'm off the market!?" Suddenly, a bouquet red and white rose appear in front of his face. He raises a brow.
"I love you, Hounder Larouse. I have picked the finest rose I can find. So…" Yena growls a little at the sight of Absaly unbutton the collar of her shirt. "Will you accept~?" A group of students watches the scene taking place, with Absaly giving Hounder the Attract look and him staring at the bouquet. The scene in front of Yena seems to piss her off.
"Wait, why am I pissed off by something ridiculous?" Yena shakes her head and blushes a little in embarrassment. Hounder notices Yena's expression but still look at the bouquet in front of him. He suddenly grabs Absaly's wrist, causing her to cry out in a somewhat pleasured tone.
"Ah~! Oh my, Hounder, you accept my love~! I'm so glad-Hey, w-what are you-Ahh!" Absaly's pleased look turns into one of shock, with the rest of the students looking at her with a surprise look on their faces. Hounder glares at Absaly with a hose in his hand. The bouquet suddenly wet and wrinkling, the color of the roses slowly falls on the ground, leaving only dried-looking roses. He sighs and shakes his head, placing the hose back to its original place.
"You painted on the dead petals, put perfume on them and have the audacity to give them to me?" He walks towards Yena and when he's in front of her, he looks at Absaly with a deadly look at the corner of his eyes. "Bitches like you need to learn you can't always get what you want without true hard work. Lies like this are a piece of shit. If you only use lies instead of doing hard work to get what you want, you'll just end up dying in battles." He grabs one of Yena's hands in his, turning away from Absaly. "I hate Pokemons using lies and cheats to get what they want down to my very core so if you dare show me this kind of crappy tricks…" He turns his head a little, glaring at her at the corner of his eyes with his eyes darkening. "You can bet your ass that you'll lose more than your pride."
The whole student backs away from the dark voice, Absaly flinching and backing away. Yena, however, blinks at the expression in front of her. Never have she seen Hounder annoyed like this.
"Calm down, Hounder. She's not worth the fight." Hounder trails his eyes down to Yena's expression, a little surprised to find her calm. Yena tugs on his hand softly. "Come on. The teacher is here."
The two Pokemon left the crowd, leaving Absaly to her shame…
After school
"Honestly, I don't know why Absaly would still like me." Hounder walks down the snowy path, with his sling bag on his left shoulder down to his right him, his white dress shirt and long black pants on and his arms at the back of his head. Yena stares at the path quietly, her hands gripping on the leather of her sling bag on her right shoulder, her body shaking. Noticing her shivering, Hounder tilts his head to her. "Hey, are you cold?" Yena bits her lower lip and hesitantly nods her head.
"Y-Yeah…I don't have anything to warm myself up…You're lucky you're a fire type." Yena blows into her hands, rubbing them on her shoulders. Hounder sighs softly.
"This wouldn't have happen if you have a jacket or something."
"I don't have one…" She says with her voice shivering. "Besides, I usually wear long sleeved-shirts during this time of year." She sneezes softly, rubbing her nose softly. Hounder wraps one of his arms around her shoulder, pulling her close. "H-Hey-!"
"This way, you'll get warmer, right?" Yena blushes at his statement as they walk down the streets of the neighborhood. "Besides, it'll be bad if you catch a cold…" She stares at his expression, noticing him smiling at what's ahead. "So I'm going to make sure you're safe and healthy." He grins at her like a child, his eyes close.
Ba-dump!
"W-What the-?!"
Ba-dump!
"T-This feeling…" Yena suddenly looks away, gripping on the side of her bag strap. "I-I can't…I-It's not that…is it…?"
"Hey, you okay?" Yena's cheeks grew hotter and redder; making Hounder places a hand on the top of her head. "Hey, what's wrong?" When she doesn't answer, he moves the hair on her forehead up, making her forehead bare and revealed. "Oi…"
Ba-dump!
"W-Why…?" Yena's eyes suddenly turn half-lid, her breathing slowly got heavy. When she feels someone's forehead pressing against hers…
Everything went dark.
…
…
…
…
"I'm going out to visit your grandpa and grandma for Christmas, Yena. Will you be okay with Lio?"
"I'll be fine, mama…" A young girl of 5 said quietly, hugging onto a stuffed Teddiursa. "…Mama…?"
"Yes, sweetie?" Yena's mom turned to face her daughter, who stared at her mother right in the eyes.
"Why can't I visit Grandma and Grandpa…?"
Liana went silent at that question. She placed a bag of gifts on the floor and kneeled to her daughter's height, placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "It's not that you can't…It's just that-"
"They hate me…" Liana squeezed Yena's shoulder softly.
"No, they don't…They just don't understand you…" Liana stood up and picked up the bag. "I'll be back tomorrow. Be good and don't cause too much problems. Understand?" Yena stared at her mother before smiling, nodding a little.
"Understood, Mama!"
…
…
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone, Yena…But you know your grandparents want me on Christmas…"
Yena stared at the hardware-based IP phone, holding the receiver near her ear.
"It's alright, mom. I know they don't like me coming near them. They hate my guts even more ever since Lio's incident…Just do what you have to do, mom. I'll be alright."
"Yena, are you sure…? Alone on Christmas?" Yena smiled at her mother's worries, feeling a bit glad someone cared about her well-being…
"Yeah, mom…I'll be alright. Just come back home after Christmas, ok?" The silence from the other line seemed a bit tense until Liana sighed.
"Alright…I'll be back as fast as I can." Yena stares at the ceiling with a deep sadness in her eyes…
"Take your time, mom…"
"I love you, Yena…" Her mom hanged up…Yena continued to stare at the ceiling before her hand started shaking, tears flowing out of her eyes.
"…I love you too, mom…" She placed the receiver back in its place before falling onto the ground on her knees, her head hanging low, crying softly and hugging to herself…
The darkness and the loneliness of the house were her only companions on Christmas…
…
…
…
…"…Ye…"…
…"Yen…"
…"YENA!"
"WAH!" The Mightyena cries out, falling out of the bed in shock and landing on the floor flat on her face and front. She groans in pain and uses her arms for support, rubbing her nose. "What was that for?!" Yena glares angrily but it cut short when she notices the oddest thing.
A Santa Hat.
A coat.
A white beard.
Two black boots.
And a certain devil-like tail.
"AHHHHHHHHH! WHO ARE YOU?! ARE YOU A STALKER?! SOMEONE, HELP!"
"YENA, CALM DOWN! IT'S ME!" The person points to himself. "Hounder! Dang, that fever got you hard…" Yena blinks and notices the features before calming down a little.
"F…Fever?"
"Yeah. You didn't wear anything to warm up and even with a Fire-type; you still get a high fever. You're lucky your mom kept some medicine in the cabinet." Yena softly blushes and get on top of the bed, watching him sit down next to her. "It knocked you out for 3 days straight." Yena's eyes widen and she stares at Hounder.
"What day is today…?" Hounder scratches his head.
"24th. Christmas Eve. But you don't have to worry because we usually have a party tomorrow. Your mom said she's going to your grandparents' house for a Christmas visit but she did panic about you having a fever…"
Yena grips the blankets and hangs her head low, darkness covering her eyes.
"She also said that she's sorry for leaving you alone on Christmas and-E-Eh!?" Hounder is shock at the sight of tears falling onto the blanket. His shock look turns into worry as he tries to get a good look of Yena's face. "Y-Yena…?"
A sob escapes her shivering lips as tears falls on her cheeks to the blanket.
"Why can't I visit Grandma and Grandpa…?"
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone, Yena…But you know your grandparents want me on Christmas…"
"Yena, are you sure…? Alone on Christmas?"
Yena closes her eyes tightly, sobbing and trying to hold back her tears but to no avail. She covers her face with her hands, her voice slowly breaking.
"Why…Why am I so weak…?" More tears escape from her eyes, her hands gripping on the blankets with her knees rose up, as if she's trying to curl up while sitting.
It was by accident but Yena couldn't stop eavesdropping. It was a day before Christmas Eve but her mom was arguing with someone on the phone in the living room.
"Mom, I thought you would be okay with Yena coming along!"
"And I told YOU to leave that BEAST in that house of yours! She is a danger to me, your father and the family all because you married that…that…that man!" Liana growled and slammed a hand on the counter, causing Yena to flinch and shrink behind the wall.
"How DARE you call your own granddaughter like that?! She is not a beast!"
"Oh…you're right…She's a monster."
Yena's eyes widen in realization at the very word her grandmother had described her.
…A monster…
As Yena's eyes darken, the wind outside started to become wilder and darker while the snow outside started to glow black, disappearing slowly…
A pair of arms wrap around her frail figure, making Yena's eyes widen before slowly raising her head to see she's not alone in the room…
"Yena…" A soft whisper presses against her ear. "It's okay…I know…"
Her eyes widen a little.
"I know how it hurts…" The arms tighten around her. "I know how it feels to know that someone from your family hates you and then tries to neglect you for something you didn't do…" Hounder rests his chin on her left shoulder, his eyes close and his expression serious yet soft… "So you can let it out…"
More tears flow freely from her eyes…
"Let out everything you have endured…"
For the first time…She lets out her tears in front of someone…
And yet…It's okay.
The pain doesn't hurt so much now…
On 25th December, 6pm
During the entire time, Hounder had been taking care of her. Even though the fever is gone, Yena still have some sickly feeling. Because of that, Hounder decided to stay over for the night, which leads to an argument whether he sleeps on the couch or the bed. In the end, the poor fellow has to sleep on the former.
And after checking her temperature (which he tried kissing for checking but failed nonetheless), giving her a cup of water (which he tries the attempt to kiss her with water in his mouth so he can transfer it to hers but failed when she drinks is in one gulp out of embarrassment) and watching over her condition (which, again, he tries to sneak into the bathroom when she tries to take a bath, resulting a shampoo hitting his forehead and a shout of 'STOP PEEKING' heard throughout the bathroom), he told Yena that he's going to the party because it's a family tradition for the orphans and him. But he'll be waiting for her if she wants to join in…
Which leaves Yena alone to her thoughts in her room with Hounder waiting for her outside his home…
She's sitting on the seat that's under the window. Her hands trailing to the cold window as she moves her fingers on it, letting herself draw on the window with the frost.
"Why did my heart pound around him…?"
She starts to unconsciously draw a semi-circle.
"Why do I feel so shy around him?"
Her finger slowly makes a cute pair of devil-like horns.
"How come I act so nervous around him when he does something romantic…?"
She soon draws a body and sighs sadly.
"The only way I could feel this way…is when I fell in love…with…"
Her finger stops on the window panel.
"With…"
Her eyes start to sting and a lump appears in her throat as tears slowly appear in her eyes.
"Holter…"
"Yena, I thought I could trust you!"
She flinches away from the window, as if her finger just got burnt from something hot.
"Go away! Just leave me alone, you traitor!"
Yena's eyelids slowly lowered, her thoughts rambling on love between Hounder and Holter.
"…A traitor…" She lets out a tiny snicker, her eyes slowly watery. "Maybe I am a traitor…"
"I have fallen in love with someone else…"
Yena sighs softly and shakes her head. "But why did I fall so fast? This is just damn crazy…"
But then…she remembers a conversation she had with her mom…
"Yena…I think you should let him go."
"H-Huh?!" A 14 year old Yena looked in shock at Liana, who was sitting on the couch with one of her legs on the other.
"I'm serious. You have to let go of Holter. He's nothing now-"
"What are you saying?! How can you say that?! I love him, mom! If I see him again, I can explain it to him-"
"Even if he made you cry and hurt so much!?"
"That's because he was misunderstood! I know he cares about me and-"
"And what if he has someone else!?"
Yena stared in horror at her mother, shock at what she's hearing…But her mother held a stern look, not backing down on her words. Her daughter shook her head.
"N-No way…He's not like that…He loves me…I know he does…"
"If he does, wouldn't he trust you before?"
A silent respond…
"…It's time for you to let go…You have cried enough tears for him."
"If you don't…"
You'll only live in your own illusion.
"…Mom…you were right…" Yena closes her eyes and sighs softly. "But I won't be able to let him go easily…Instead…" She looks at the art on the panel and smiles at her artwork…
Devil-like horns…
Alluring eyes…
Devil-like tail…
An enchanting look…
Yena raises her hand and touches the face of the frost-drawn Hounder, smiling softly with tears escaping her eyes…
"I'll give love another try…"
She suddenly flinches a little and covers her mouth. There was one little detail she has forgotten…
"Whoever gives me a flower that fits how much they truly love me will not only be my girlfriend but my wife as well."
She groans and leans against the window in her room, watching the snow slowly fall onto the flowers on the flower bed.
"Mama, mama! Look, this one!"
A young 4 year old tugged on the shirt that her mother was wearing, with her free hand pointing at a lavender rose intertwined with a black one. "Mama, these two are still alive after the blizzard."
Her mother smiled at the sight of the still standing rose, slightly surprised that such a thing is still standing.
"You're right. They're still standing. It's a strange thing to happen…" Yena looked up at her mom, her eyes glowing with curiosity.
"Mama, I thought roses can't survive in winter…" Liana smiled down at her daughter and hugged her tight, looking at the still living roses.
"They don't…But these two special flowers survived somehow. And they're the one that you grew." Yena looked at the flowers and then at her mother.
"Really…?" Liana nodded and raised a hand, softly touched the roses with a finger.
"Do you know that each rose has a meaning?" When Yena shook her head, Liana laughed softly. "Well, the most common ones are red roses. They signify love and romance, as if saying 'I love you'. Pink roses mean grace and elegance, also known as 'The flower of gratitude'. They are a gentler meaning compare to their counterparts, the red ones. Next are the yellow roses. They represent kindness, happiness and wramth to the receiver. White roses are very popular in weddings, meaning innocence and pure. They also mean honor and new beginnings." She taps on her daughter's nose, making Yena lightly wiggle her nose a little. Her eyes slowly trail to the roses on the flower bed.
"Then…what do lavender and black roses mean…?" Liana let out a small laugh, smiling at her daughter's interest in botanists.
"To me…They have the biggest meaning…That's why they're rare…But very few people know their meaning…Especially the black one." She stroked her daughter's hair, letting Yena purred softly and nuzzled against her mother's touch… "But if you want to know…They mean…"
"No way…It has been 14 years since I saw those roses…I don't check on them anymore…They might have died from the strong impact of the blizzards a few years ago and probably got covered in snow…Maybe I can give Hounder a simple red-"
Yena's eyes widen in shock at the window before she starts standing up and leaves her house, with the doors and windows lock, two holes in the window flower bed of a certain room.
…
…
…
"Where is she?" Hounder leans against the wall of the building, standing next to the door of it and holding a square-shaped present. "Maybe she didn't want to come…?"
"Hounder, it's getting cold…You should get inside."
The Houndoom turns to Ladio to find him walking towards Hounder. "No thanks…I'm still waiting for someone."
"You mean Yena?" Hounder suddenly blush a little, darting his eyes away from him. "Listen, Hounder, I know you're doing this to repair any bonds that have been broken but…you HAVE to tell her sooner or later…" Hounder stares at the ground in silence before nodding a little.
"I know…" Ladio nods in acknowledgement.
"Good. Then I shall-"
"Ladio." The voice turns into one that is stern and a higher rank, commanding a little bit. Ladio stares at him, flinching a little when he saw his eyes turning dark, glowing in the old snow. "Don't you even dare think of getting your hands on Yena." Ladio chuckles softly and turns around, his back facing the glaring Houndoom.
"Alright, alright, jealous boy. Come in whenever you're ready." The sound of the door opening and then closing made Hounder look at the path ahead. He checks his watch and sighs at the time. 10 mins left till the party starts.
"Yena…Where are you?"
"HOUNDER!" Said Pokemorph raises his head, his eyes widening in shock when he sees something black in the snow.
"Yena?"
"Hounder, sorry I'm late!" A panting Mightyena said between breaths, standing in front of Hounder in a black sweater and white pants and her ears twitching softly while her hair blows softly with the cold wind, some of her hair covering a bit of her cheeks.
Hounder could have sworn he's in a dream.
"Y-Yena, are you alright? You know you-" He suddenly blinks at the gifts being shown in front of his face.
A lavender and black rose.
"I…Hounder…I…" Yena never knew she could be in such a state.
Her legs are shaking.
Her heart is pounding.
Her body is heating up.
She could have sworn she got turned into a Fire-type!
"Y-Yena…?" Hounder grabs her shoulder softly, making her look at him with the roses between them. "What are you trying to say?"
Yena bits her lower lip and looks at the roses.
"…The lavender one."
"Huh?" Hounder trails his eyes to a black rose before Yena.
"The lavender means 'Love at first sight'…I'll admit, when I heard your name in class on your first day, I thought you were someone who are like most Dark-types…But…when you took notice to me and become nice to me…I was so happy…Your face have this…kindness…the first Dark-type to show me that kind of face other than my family…" Hounder grabs Yena's shaking hands before getting her a soft squeeze, asking to continue.
"Then…do you know what the black one means…?" Yena looks at Hounder with slightly teary eyes and nods softly, smiling softly before pressing her forehead against his.
"…Yes…It means 'Death'…" Hounder's eyes widen as Yena continue on. "The black rose…represents death but it isn't all…to a love one, the reason black roses are very rare…is because its meaning is the giver will love the receiver forever even in death…like they will stay by their side forever…So…" She lets out a small but pure smiling grin. "So…black roses aren't as bad as I thought. I have decided to give love another try and…and I'm giving you these roses that have stayed strong through the dangers they have face…so..." Yena raises her eyes to his, her look determined and confident.
"Please accept my love for you!"
The only answer she has is a kiss on the lips.
After a few hours...
"Wow. The party sure is a riot. Haha." Yena says, leaning her head against Hounder's shoulder, smiling at the sight before her.
The kids all huddle up together and slept under the Christmas tree, with Gardine sleeping on top of Ladio while Magia sleeps on a simple chair.
"Well, better tired than questions." He nuzzles against black locks, growling affectionately while Yena giggles softly. After Hounder annouced that he's finally dating Yena, the whole family got crazy!
Gardine asks Yena what's it like to be in love
Ladio asks Hounder what happen outside
Magia was quietly for a few moment before congratulating them with a smile (which caused a great confusion to the whole family.)
and Grapper asks when the kids will arrive, to which the couples blush as red as a santa's hat and shout at Grapper to stop with the lewd questions, hearing the Gabite laugh with all the more reason to asks such mature questions.
"Yeah..." Yena smiles softly and closes her eyes.
Pat!
"Hm?" Yena opens her eyes and looks at the parcel on her lap before looking at Hounder, who's looking away with pink cheeks.
"Your Christmas present..." Yena tilts her head a little before facing the parcel. It's wrapped in black with a cute little red bow on top. Slowly, Yena begins unwrapping the present. After she's done, she gasps with surprise before raising her present to view it better.
It's a handmade black scarf, with patterns of beautiful dark red flaming skulls. Yena squeals and hugs her new scarf, nuzzling at the thick, soft texture. Hounder stares at his new girlfriend with a blush creeping up on his face.
"Y-You...You like it?"
"I love it!" She growls happily like a puppy being loved as she nuzzles her nose into the scarf. "Where did you get this?! This is absolutely beautiful!"
"I...um...made it..."
"Huh?" She turns to Hounder, seeing his eyes facing at the floor, his cheeks glowing red from embarrassment.
"Y-Yeah...I know how to knit and seeing you cold without anything to warm up...I thought maybe a scarf is suitable for you so...I made one while you were passed out with your mom's sewing kit. I was nervous about whether you like it or not..." He fidgets like a little boy facing his crush shyly, causing Yena to smile and place a kiss on the Houndoom's red cheeks. Hounder's eyes widen and touches the place where Yena kissed, looking at her smiling, grateful expression.
"I love it, Hounder...Thank you for the best present I ever have..."
"N-No way. I should be thanking you!" Yena blinks in confusion. "W-When you confess to me...I never thought my heart can beat so loud..." Yena stares at Hounder, who is avoiding eye contact. She has never seen this shy side of Hounder before...
She wraps her arms around Hounder and gives him a warm hug.
"You're so cute, Hounder. Hehe!" She lets out a giggle before laughing softly, making Hounder laugh softly too, wrapping his arms around her waist. They nuzzle in each other's embrace...Until Yena's ears twitch in attention. "Wait a minute..."
"What?"
"...What would happen if my mom finds out I'm staying over my boyfriend's house?" Hounder blushes softly before chuckling nervously, a few improper thoughts filling his mind.
At a house…
"Haha, look at this loot! This woman and girl must have made a lot of money!"
"Mm but it's ashamed that they're not home. I could use some nice pussies to releases these dirty seeds of mine."
Two men are putting the money from a safe behind a family painting have unlock the door and manage to get into the house, even though the lock is a security code type.
"Hey, maybe we should wait for that girl to come! I overheard her mom won't be back till tomorrow!" The first male, a Cacturne, said with a lustful glint in his eyes. The second male, a Skuntank, replies with the same glint.
"Haha! Good idea! Good girls need to come home early, don't they? Hey, do you think she can do a doggy style?"
"I don't know but I bet she can be slutty enough to make a ahegao*. Oh! Maybe we can try to make her our pet and have her suck our-"
"Do that and I'll rip your fucking balls."
A cold shiver runs down the two Pokemorph's spine, their eyes slowly trailing to the person standing at the door. They instantly stand up and growl.
"Who are you!? What is a stupid kid like you doing here?!"
The person chuckles darkly, a sadistic grin on their face.
"Stupid kid? Hah. Fine, say what you want. But this 'stupid kid' is gonna kick your pathetic excuse of an ass." The sound of claws being unsheathe catches the attention of the burglars. When the mysterious person comes out of the darkness, the burglars laugh.
"Oh my god! HAHAHA! A femboy! Hahaha! How humiliating! What's the matter?! Mother gave ya her looks?! Hahaha! Haha-ACK!" Without a second wasted, the Cacturne struggles in the grip of a pale but very strong hand. A pair of glowing but glaring dark blue eyes aims directly at him.
"You DARE insult my mom when she did nothing wrong to you!? You better watch your mouth, you tramp!" Black glowing claws suddenly rise before swiping down, a terrified scream escaped the Cacturne's lips before he lands on the floor, with a three cat-like claw scar on his face. The Skuntank shakes in fear and tries to make a run for it to the door but the instant he turns around…
"NO! I-IT WAS HIS IDEA! ALL HIS! I SWEAR!" A deep, dark chuckle fills the room as the sound of steps heads towards the frightened burglar.
"Don't worry…I didn't kill him…It's a nice little fear I want to place on him…but there's no way I can forgive you two for speaking ill of her…" The Skuntank whimpers in fear and backs away before his back hits a table.
"S-Stay back! Stay back, y-you-!" He grabs anything from the table and aims it at the dark person, holding a kitchen knife. "I-I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you femboy!"
"Oh? How pathetic…Too bad the battle is already over…Have fun getting the death penalty." A purple ball slowly form before the person blasts a Shadow Ball at the Skuntank, blasting him across the room and have him out of the house, watching the burglar hit a large tree at the background. The person lets out disappointed sigh.
"How stupid…They're nothing but idiots…" He looks at the Cacturne, watching the blood from the scar on his face slowly fall onto the floor. "I should really clean this up…" He suddenly blinks and then trails his eyes to a lone picture on a counter. He walks towards it, trying not to step on the Cacturne (except on a place where males need.) and picks up the picture. His dark blue eyes trail to a smiling little girl, who has black wolfish-like ears, a short black hair and wearing a white dress and having a piggyback ride on a boy who has his hair an unusual mix of dark maroon and dark pink, a pair of cat-like ears on his head and his hands on the young girl's legs to hold her on his back, which is covered in a white shirt.
"…Yena…" The stranger's eyes soon hold a deep sadness. "Don't worry…We'll be together again…"
A sudden gust of a cold wind soon blows through the streets as the stranger pulls the two criminals out of the house, hanging them on a sturdy tree branch before staring at the shining moon in the sky.
