Dragon Knight Snippets: Through the Woods

"Oh look, it's an owl!"

Gil glanced briefly at the bird that granted them one hoot before taking off, and then quickly turned his head away to hide the blush that had permanently settled over his face. He focused on the scraggly forest path they were trekking through, trying to think of anything but the fact that Ram was holding his hand, pulling him every which way to show him whatever struck his fancy. The warm feeling that buzzed contentedly throughout his body was strangely pleasant, but Gil knew how much Ram would make fun of him if he saw the crimson stain on his face.

"Aw, won't you say something Kitten?" Gil was gullible enough to fall for the pouting tone and turned his head to explain to Ram that it wasn't that he was mad or anything— before realizing that he'd fallen hook, line and sinker. Damn Raamganas and his conniving ways… the worst thing was that Gil fell for it every single time.

"I knew it!" the crimson-haired demon laughed, kissing Gil's hand, "You're so shy, you'd think after a whole year living together you'd be more comfortable around me. It's not even like there's anyone else around!"

Gil looked down guiltily, "It's not that I'm not comfortable with you…" It's that I'm not comfortable with myself, he thought, and Ram ruffled his hair.

"I'm just messing with ya," he pulled the cat demon by the hand again, "C'mon, I wanna get to the village quick so we can have some time to look around the shops."

Gil followed him obediently, but suddenly froze, pulling Raamganas back sharply, making him stumble.

"Gil?"

The cat-demon sniffed the air, his eyes narrowing dangerously, "There's demons about."

"There are others around?" Ram sniffed the air, "Hard to believe you were a human when you have a better sense of smell than me," Of course, the difference in the way he and Raamganas referred to other demons was telling, "That doesn't necessarily mean trouble, you know."

"I smell blood."

Ram's eyes glinted a darker shade as he nodded, "You're right, I can smell it now."

Within seconds the small space was clearly surrounded by a small troupe of demons, and Gil slid his short-handled scythe-like weapons out, swinging the twin blades into position. Ram regretted having to take his staff out.

"Easy prey," the demon who was apparently the leader chortled, and Ram rolled his eyes. They clearly didn't know Gil…

"I'm giving you one chance to leave," Gil snarled shortly, letting the dangerous glint of his blade do the talking. If they were smart enough to listen.

"I really think you should listen, cause I'm sure it won't be a pretty outcome," Ram added, and Gil sent him a silencing look. Ram rolled his eyes again. He always turned into such a mother hen… or mother lioness…

"For you," one of the groupies smirked and jumped, flying into the air with the intent of bringing his blade down on Gil's head. The cat-demon snorted derisively and easily dodged, and Ram stared at him for a moment, openly amazed at the grace and flexibility of his motions.

The fight didn't last more than three minutes. A couple blows to the head here and there, and two were down, while Gil easily took care of the other three. Throughout the whole thing, Gil had somehow remained in front of Raamganas, fiercely keeping the attacking youkai from getting near Ram, which he thought was rather unnecessary. Not that he didn't appreciate it, but did Gil not remember that he was the one who'd saved him in the first place? He was a big boy, he could take care of himself. Ram found it all too amusing, and made sure to remember to make something special for dinner just for Gil. He often acted cold and slightly sarcastic, but there was no one more warm-hearted or loyal than him.

The leader remained, and Gil stepped up to him, trailing the edge of his blade down the demon's throat with just enough pressure to draw blood. Panic widened his eyes, and his mouth formed pleading words.

"I warned you didn't I? And you almost hurt him," Gil growled. Almost hurt him? Well, if that was what you called that swipe that missed Ram's head by at least a foot…

Gil raised his blade, and the demon seemed to be choking on his own words, trying to get a plead for mercy out before the dreaded weapon hit. Ram looked away, confused and more than a little worried that Gil was actually going to kill him… There was a dull sound as the blade made contact.

Gil leaned over to remove the blade from the trunk of the tree where it'd struck, just barely grazing the demon's cheek. Ram sighed, allayed.

"Woops, my hand must have slipped," Gil muttered offhandedly.

"And you're too lazy to pick it up again and re-stab him, right?" Ram said cheerfully.

Gil's golden eyes glared at him, "Damn right."

Ram laughed, "I knew you wouldn't kill him, you're too nice, Kitten," he said, kissing Gil's cheek.

Gil flushed, looking away, and stammering, "Ram! You just ruined the whole dangerous tough-guy image!"

Ram shrugged, grinning widely as he pointed to the demon, "He passed out from fright anyway."

I have way too much fun with Ram. We're not even sure what kind of a character he is::can't wait til he reappears in the DK series...: um, that's if he does. I wish he did. :wink wink:

PArain::grins back:

Angstluver: That's the beauty of it- it was totally unexpected!

Go-ruden Kiba: I'm guessing Alfeegi's one of your fave characters, no? I like KxA too, or AxK...

Capella: Man, I adooore key lime pie, or lemon pie. I'm not that much ofa fan of cherry... i guess cherry just seemed to work for this pupose. Hope you liked the Gillaam? I love Sakura/Tomoyo, and for I consider Subaru/Tsukasa as... kinda shoujo. More like straight with shoujo personalities. O.O I'm confusing myself. Anyway...

Long Forgotten Howl: Well, here's the Gillaam. And while i try to come up with a Tetheus/Kitchel ficlet, I do have a chapter in Bittersweet Sword that has the pairing, (It's Tetheus' chapter... um, obviously...) I'll see what Feegi/Ruwalk nonsense I can come up with soon too :smiles:

Dark-Birdie::hands Gillaam over: Hope you liked. :blinks: Hey... that's not a bad idea... man... Alfeegi SHOULD have given that pie to Ruwalk... and he was just laughing cause he saw Feeg pie Kaistern and thought it was funny. lol.

Lim: Well... general vote was Gillaam, but you'll get your RathThatz next, promise :smiles: And Ruwalk just happened to walk in. Yes, it was random...

Old Fiat: Well, if you don't read the snippets as it is, does it really matter which one I post? You needn't have voted. Really. ... And please, as if we haven't established the fact that you don't like shounen-ai, there's no need to repeatedly state your hatred for 'gay ff' and how much they suck.

Kage: Lol, I'm happy you found it so funny. I wasn't sure if it would be humourous or not, humor's not really my strong point, I really have to rack my brain for it. Lol. And it's pathetic cause I'm a basket of funny randomness in school (what kind of a friggin description is that?), while at home it's mostly sarcastic, but... when it comes to writing, I have no idea what humor is...

Puppy: Alfeegi sure can hold a grudge, can't he? Your coin's psychic! It determined the winner of the votes::laughs:

Alright, so next is the ThatzRath, and I'll figure out a TetheusKitchel soon too. :bows: Next snippet at... 320::nods: Tata!
