An: here is the plan our dear ori came up with. Letting you know ahead of time, I suck at fight scenes, so there is no detailed fighting. I hope this came out as good as it was in my crazy mind. Still don't know how long I want to make this. *salutes* see ya later bun-buns.
An2: thanks to spunky for pointing something out. Gonna go back and put something in this chapter.
Orihime stamped her way home, anger and outrage present. When she walked into her house her husband John gave her a concerned look. "What is it my sweet, that has you so upset?"
Instead of speaking, orihime paced. John would have none of that, he wrapped her in his strong arms and she stilled. "Please, you are my wife, I need to know what is wrong."
She sighed as he made her sit, "I went to get you a gift as great as mine, in the hollows, but this creature would not let me have it."
That did not sit well with john, "you say you went to the hollows, but that is a dangerous place. You should not have went there. And this creature, did it harm you?" He searched her body for bruises or marks that should not have been there, he found a sizable one on her hip. How dare this monster harm his beloved. "Orihime, what is this bruise on your hip, did that thing do this?"
Orihime looked away, he had found it. "He told me if I gave him something in return he would let me take what I wanted for you, but he lied." She spoke in a whisper to him, ashamed of what she had done. "I am sorry husband, but I just wanted to give you a great gift. I know you must hate me, for betraying you in that way."
John hugged her tighter, he was upset yes, but not at her. "I do not hate you, I despise this, whatever it is for tricking you. I know you only did it to please me, which is an amazing thing not all women would do." He abruptly stood, "Now, I will gather the men of our village and we will hunt down this thing. It will cause problems no more."
As John left their house, orihime smiled a wicked smile. 'You will get a very rude awakening tensa, that I just saw to. No one tells me no and lives to tell the tale.' Her plan set in motion, she meekly followed her husband and the men of jalsoon. After this she would no longer need a jewel for her husband, killing tensa would be enough.
With darkness deep in the pit of his heart, tensa felt the hatred of the humans from a mile away. He ushered the beings of the hollows into hiding, this would be his fight. Making his way to the edges of his home, he prepared for it. The humans came in a group, all men and one she-devil. "What brings you here humans, camping out for the night?"
The men did not like his joke, knowing what he had done, they only wanted revenge. John stepped up to the front of the mob, "We don't care for how you make light of this demon, you have sullied my wife and think it a joyous mood?"
Sullied his wife? Tensa knew nothing of which this man spoke. "I have not sullied anyone, let alone your wife, whoever she is. We have no quarrel, leave."
John took another, more menacing, step forward. "You insult me demon. You trick my dear orihime into giving you her body, then you stand here and say you have done none of it? You truly are the demon I think you."
The look that came over tensas face was beautiful to orihime. He looked as though he would lose whatever he had ate, then he got angry. "Whatever that she-deviltold you was a lie. I have done nothing of the sort. She tried to manipulate me into to giving her jewels, I told her no and that's all I did. Now leave before I have to do something I would rather not."
John and the men of jalsoon took that as a challenge. They charged him from all sides, something tensa didn't notice in his confusion and anger. He fought back as good as he could without killing. He was succeeding, he had John in his grasp, the rest of the men lying on the ground at his feet. Then the unthinkable happened, orihime approached him, a spell on her lips. "What are you doing she-devil, and what do you know of magic?"
But she did not speak to him, only finished casting her spell. With a strangled cry tensa fell to his knees, john still in his grasp. "What did you d-do to m-me?" he rasped out.
Orihime chuckled, "I cast a spell to make you weak, it won't be enough to kill you, that is my husband's job." She leaned in close to his ear and spoke, "This is what you get for denying me what I want. While you die in the forest you love, I will live happily with my husband and our child to come." She stood and put on a sad expression, her voice became soft like the year he met her. "May your last moments be peaceful, though you hurt me, I will forgive you."
She walked away while the men closed in on tensa, she didn't need to see his death. The farther from the forest she got, the less she heard of tensas painful screams. When she made it back to jalsoon the women all consoled her and cursed tensas name.
Hours after the men left a beaten tensa to die, a panther happened upon him. There lying bloody and beaten on the forest floor was tensa, staring vacantly at the sky. The panther was not magical like most of the occupants of the hollows. He slowly stalked the dying man, hoping for a free meal that would last him for a while. He was about to put it out of its misery when another voice spoke.
"Do that and I will slay you where you stand beast, this is my prey, not yours." It was john, he had come back to make sure tensa was no more. When the panther did not move he pulled out a sword to strike it down. "You will die beast!"
Before john could kill the beast, tensa used his magic. He murmured something in another language and a cloud of black enveloped the panther. John looked to tensa, bewilderment in his eyes. "You will not strike him down, unlike you, he was just following his instincts.", tensa rasped out.
When the cloud settled, a broad man-beast emerged. He had blue hair the color of the sky, eyes of the sea, and skin a beautiful as bronze. Though those features were human, the rest of him was not. The man had a mouth full of sharp teeth, his legs were black and that of the panther he was before, and his hands were humanoid but with claws and black up to his wrist. This was not a being to trifle with. The beast parted his lips, letting sharp teeth show, a deep voice rumbled out. "I would run if I were you human, I am still hungry and you look very appetising."
John trembled in his boots, he knew a threat when he heard it. He ran away without another prompt, he liked his life. The panther approached the fallen tensa, animal like feet making no sound. "Are you alright fairy, that spell surely took a lot out of you?"
Tensa was still gazing unseeingly at the sky. "I am fine, I could be better though. Tell me, why did you not kill him?"
The man-beast thought on it as he gathered tensa in his arms. "It would not do me any good to waste time killing that human, when I could use it helping you."
Tensa gave a dry laugh. "Weren't you going to eat me a second ago?"
"That was before you saved my life, I am indebted to you for that." They had made it to a den inside the hollows, tensa securely held to the panthers chest. "This is my home, and yours if you want it to be. Is there anything I can get to help you heal?"
Tensa shook his head 'no', he would heal on his own, his magic was obviously back. "I need nothing to help me heal, but a meal would be good." The man-beast started to leave, "Wait, what is your name?"
"You may call me pantera. What is your name?"
"Tensa. And I need you to be my eyes pantera, those humans somehow blinded me."
Pantera nodded sadly, being unable to see was a sad thing, he would be the fairies eyes without question. "I will tensa, for it is the least I can do for you. Now sleep for a while, no one will come in my territory."
Tensa closed his unseeing eyes and fell into a nightmare filled sleep. No, those nightmares were not for him, but for orihime and the people of jalsoon. They would pay for what they did to him, and pantera would aid him in his revenge. They would rue the day they crossed him.
