My gods... School kills, and it makes me lazy! It took several death threats to get me off my lazy ass and type this up.
Oh yeah, blame square Enix too, I've been playing Dissidia none stop (Dragon would know) I have 4 of my guys up to level 100 already~ If you can guess who they are, I'll give you a cookie!
Thanks to: KATZUNITED (-Sniffed- I miss Shigen too!) Dark Link (Kai's temper... you'll see it...) I live for pie (I was thinking of giving Kai amnesia for a part of the story, a bit cliché, but you'd be able to meet the old Kai) .Idiot-Sempai (I really need to shorten your name... xD) Dragon (Cause I know you read it) Krys (I know you read it too!)
Anyone been reading the Mortal instruments, by Cassandra Clare? They are awesome! It even has yaoi... Or... Whatever you call a gay relationship in English... Do we even have a word for that? Anyway -sent love to Alec and Magnus in the books- I should stop writing comments before you all kill me...
"You guys! I see land!" Kai yelled back to the other two who were currently engaged in a spar. They're crazy! I can barely stand up thanks to the damn wind...
Link forced his way towards Kai, latching himself onto the shadow once he came in touching distance, Ryuk wasn't far behind, also using Kai as an anchor. "Yep, that must be the place! I told you we'd be there by morning." He smiled smugly at the two of them, but it soon faded when he noticed...
"Shouldn't we be slowing down?"
Ryuk had taken the words right out of his mind. "Um.. We should be, but apparently... that's not gonna happen..." He let go of his anchor (Kai) and sat on his ass, letting the wind push him towards the back of the ship.
Ryuk followed suit, sliding up beside him. "Isn't this where you um... dispel the charm?"
Kai slid after them, a little less graceful, falling on to his side with a yelp and rolling toward Ryuk and Link, taking them both out so that they all rolled to the back of the ship and hit the end with a crash.
Link gave Kai his best 'flat eyes' expression. "Oh Kai, I'm sure if you weren't your klutzy self, a lot less people would be dead, and I would have less injuries to tend to at the end of the day."
Kai shoved Ryuk's boot out of his face with a growl, only for it to fling back and hit him again, splitting his lip open. He moved Ryuk's foot away more gently this time and wiped the blood off his chin, he didn't chance spitting the blood out of his mouth in case it hit his face.
Ryuk flipped over on his back with a quick apology to Kai and Link (who he also hit on the head in his attempt to free himself from the pile) and was about to stand up when the ship hit land.
All three of them almost flipped out of the ship as it flew onto the ground, destroying what 'was' a hill and barely missing a few travelers who were on the dirt road which had been located on the hill only seconds before.
One of the travelers was a young woman named Vii who was riding on top of a large wolf, she watched as the ship finally came to a stop, right in front of the village's sacred tree. And this is what happens when you let armatures use powerful spells.
Vii was a slender woman, very light, she had to be for her wolf to be able to carry her. Her wild red hair was tied back to keep it out of her face while she was riding, her eyes where a leaf green color, they were her favorite feature, as they always caught everyone's eye. Perhaps they stood out more because of her red hair.
She watched as a younger looking man wearing a black tunic jumped up and yelled, "That was fucking awesome!"
Letting out a monstrous sigh that even Link would envy, she directed her wolf over to the wreckage, bypassing a few scared villagers along the way.
"Did you see how far up on land we came?! Holy shit!" Kai stopped his fan girl antics and looked around the general area where people were staring at them, horrified.
"Yep Link, I don't think your ship driving skills are any better then your car driving skills." Kai turned and gave the hero a thumbs down gesture.
Said hero was gripping onto Ryuk who had his claws stuck in the deck, that had been the only thing that had saved them from flying off during the ride, both of them were shaking, Ryuk more so.
"Excuse me?"
When Kai turned to see who the voice belonged to, he came face to face with a wolf.
"Sweet merciful fuck... Hi Mister Wolfy!" Kai reached up to give the wolf a few good pats on the head. "Hey Link, this world is fucking awesome! It has talking wolves!" He ignored the angry growl that was coming from the wolf's direction.
"Um, actually, I was the one who talked..." Vii patted the strange man on the head, exacting revenge for her wolf.
"Oh great... boobs..." Kai watched as the woman's face turned red with anger. "Something wrong sweet heart?"
Vii jumped off her wolf and landed neatly on the deck, she stood as tall as she could, trying to be threatening, but it wasn't really necessary since she was a good foot taller then Kai anyway. "I guess you could say something is wrong you moron," she poked Kai's forehead who stared back at her confused, "you used a high level magic that you obviously didn't know how to use properly, and you almost took out a whole village!"
Done with her rant, she crossed her arms over her chest, daring him to challenge her. Vii hadn't paid much attention to the other two men who were just standing up, she doubted they had cast the spell, she sensed no magic from them, but the one in front of her...
The one wearing the green tunic slid over to stand next to her. "Miss, I think the spell caster you're looking for is me, Kai's not good at any type of magic except shadowy dark magic..." He offered a hand to her, "I'm Link," he pointed at Kai with his other hand, "That's Kai, and the one over there is Ryuk."
Vii took his left hand and shook it, immediately feeling the magic race through her. Holy Trighen! This kid does have magic! Very powerful stuff too! She gave him a sweet smile, delighted that she finally found someone worth studying. "I'm Vii, and," she laid a hand on the paw of her wolf who was still standing on the deck railing, "this is Xxeon, my companion, I'm a traveling necromancer."
She watched all three men visibly flinch, Link let go of her hand like it had been on fire. She ignored the reaction.
"So where are all of you from? You're not from around here... We don't wear tunics in this part...." She motioned for Xxeon to get down, and he hit the deck with a thump.
"We're from a land called Hyrule." Link said while pushing a now clinging Kai off him.
Ryuk pushed the two of them apart solving the problem. "You guys are very annoying... you know that right?"
Vii stared wide eyed at the younger man. The kid's aura... He's dead! But he's not a vampire... So... She almost started drooling.
Ryuk gave her one of the weirdest looks he could manage. "Something on my face?" He almost let out a rather embarrassing scream as the woman launched herself at him, toppling him over. "What the fuck?!" He flailed, trying to shake her off.
"You're one of them! Dear Havox! I can't believe I finally get to see one! A masterpiece!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed cheeks with him.
Kai and Link watched them, the confusion growing by the second. Xxeon whimpered, he had obviously seen his master act like this before.
"Ohhh! How I wish I could dissect you and find out how you're made! I wish I knew!" She rubbed noses with the now crying Ryuk. "You're a Haniam right? The great Lore's finest creation!"
Ryuk manged to mumble out something that sounded like 'benhail made me' but nothing more.
Realizing that she had basically killed the poor Haniam, she let him go and stood up, coughing nervously. "Sorry about that, I take necromancy as more of an art form then to use it to build armies and whatever..."
Link shrugged. "It's fine." At least we know she's not dangerous... "You mention Lore, do you who and where she is? We need to speak with her."
"More like tear the fucking bitch's head off." Kai mumbled angrily, he decided to help the abused Ryuk, he made sure to give the Vii woman a glare as he walked over to him.
"You guys are going to see Lore?" Vii giggled with amusement. "That's a funny joke, she's the Queen of Kaithlaka, well she hasn't been for long, rumor says she killed the king who was her brother and stole the throne from him." She gave Link a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "Not only that, but she stays in a castle in the middle of the daedlands, it's a place crawling with undead, there are marshes and swamps everywhere!"
"We still have to go, she-"
"Stole our baby!" Kai cut the hero off and grabbed Vii by the shoulders, shaking her. (He has a bad habit of doing that....)
Vii's eye twitched. "Your... baby...?"
Kai sniffed and blinked away unshed tears. "Yes! Our Shigen! She stole him away from us! Now me and Link are left with no sons... Well, unless you count Ryuk... But he's not the favorite."
Ryuk kicked the back of his boot.
Vii looked at Link, and then to Kai. "Wait, you two.. are like that?" She put her hands together to make a heart.
Kai nodded. "Yep! Took me about a thousand years to get him..."
"Aw! That's such a long time! You must love him a lot!" Vii glomped the shadow, Link and Ryuk both backed away from the fan girl.
She let go of Kai and poked his nose. "Well, if you're going into Daedlands to rescue your son, you're going to need a strong necromancer to help you through there!"
(Why does she not question the fact that two men can not have a child...?)
Angry shouts from the villagers below reminded her of what she originally came to do. "But first, we have to move this ship out of here." She eyed Link hungrily. "And I'll need your help."
Shigen woke up with a jolt. Why he had been sleeping was a good question, Haniam don't need to sleep often if ever, and yet there he was, wrapped up in numerous blankets and laying on a nice comfortable bed.
He sniffed the blankets cautiously, they smelled nothing like his shadow temple, or Ryuk. I'm not at home then...? He looked around with his night vision eyes, but it was so dark, he couldn't see anything. Wasn't I doing something important?
He tried to recall what he had been doing, he remembered going to a small town, Kai was talking to him, but he couldn't remember the words. He tried again, this time he was on a ship and the crazy Lore woman was staring at him with lust in her eyes.
"Where am I...?"
"It's alright my pet, don't be frightened." Shigen felt a cool hand on the side of his face, brushing the hair out of his eyes. "You're home now, safe with me."
"Bullshit..." He was just about to fling himself out of the bed and away from the crazy woman when two arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him back.
Shigen's energy completely left him, he felt as the woman who he thought to be Lore, laid him on his back and pinned him beneath her.
"Now, now my pet," Shigen felt her lips brush past his ear. "You're going to listen to my every command." This time a wet tongue slid up his neck, Shigen wished he could gag. "Unless you want me to harm your pretty friends."
His strength returned to him at the same moment his memory did. Kaichou... Kyou... He lay still, not wanting to provoke Lore's wrath on his ward.
She cupped his cheek and leaned down to kiss him. "Good boy."
It had taken them a while, but they eventually managed to get the two terrified horses out and off of the ship, Link was happy that he had tied them down secure enough, and that the only problem was that one of Epona's hooves were swollen, she would be fine with a good night's rest.
Vii had then taken it upon herself to tell Link about the lifting spell that would move the boat out of everyone's way so that they could repair the damage to the path.
She clapped her hands excitedly. "Yes! Ok, now all you have to do is say the incantation while using your magic powers!" She ruffled Link's head roughly, almost knocking his hat off.
Link fixed his beloved hat while glaring at the crazy woman. "Are you sure I'll be able to do this? A ship is kind of heavy you know..."
Kai snorted. "Great observation there hero."
Ryuk jumped into the branches of the village's sacred tree, he was going to watch this with a front row seat.
"Of course you'll be able to do it! You used the 'home bound' spell to get the ship here, that's powerful magic, this is nothing." Vii pointed to the large boulder Kai had just sat down on. "Losven!"
Kai yelped and fell off the boulder as it lifted into the air.
"Evil bitch!" Kai yelled as he jumped up and brushed the dirt off himself. Some women... I just can't stand...
Vii laughed at him and placed the boulder down next to him. "There you go shadow."
The villagers clapped for her, and she took a graceful bow. "Thank you! But this young man here-" She hit Link on the back making him stumble forward, "is going to do something even more amazing! So stick around!"
"Why can't you do it again?" Link asked her, taking the shield off his back to make sure it wasn't dented.
"Because! A small girl like myself might not have enough muscle to do such a big job! And a muscled man like yourself should be jumping in to do it for me!" Xxeon barked in agreement and she pet his head. Besides, I want to see how you use magic Mr. Hyrulian.
Link face palmed, he should have seen that coming. "Fine, I'll do it then." He turned to face the ship, glaring at it with all his might.
Everyone held their breath, except Kai who was whistling the cowboy show down music.
Ryuk bounced on his branch, wanting Link to hurry the hell up.
Finally, Link held out his left hand and activated the triforce. If this works, I'll.. I don't know... Let Kai top me? Naw...
With one last glare at the ship, he closed his eyes and said, "Losven!"
Link expected it to be heavy... or something... So he put all his strength into lifting his arm up, a move that was really unnecessary since the magic caster is not suppose to feel the weight at all... He almost punched himself in the face.
The ship flew up into the sky and past the clouds, everyone stared at the tiny black dot in the sky.
Vii looked at him in amazement. That's impossible, no one should be able to lift it that high! What kind of magic is he using? She peered at his left hand which was still glowing. Me and Link have a long talk ahead of us...
What goes up, must come down. With that in mind, Link swung his arm like a baseball player would swing a bat, and sent the poor ship flying out into the ocean, but it landed so far away that no one could see the splash.
The whole village cheered loudly, not because the ship was moved, but because they never seen magic like that, even Ryuk gave a few lazy claps. They all swarmed the hero, the men were complimenting his skills and the women were swooning over his strength.
Kai transported himself onto Ryuk's lap, nearly giving the Haniam a heart attack, he crossed his arms and pouted cutely. "Link always gets the attention!"
Ryuk sighed and decided to give the shadow a moral booster. "Just remember that he picked you out of all the sexy men and women out there..." He gave the shadow a few pats on the back, more to annoy him so he would leave, then to add sympathy.
"Come on you guys! The villager's are going to give us a place to stay tonight!" Vii waved at them happily from where she was sitting on top of her wolf, she was holding onto Epona and Plash's reins, the two horses were snorting nervously.
Link was gone, probably to be dragged off to the nearest tavern to celebrate whatever he did that was so great. Kai's pout returned ten-fold.
With a grumble, Ryuk pushed him out of his lap and out of the tree.
Before Kai hit the ground, he turned into a shadow, disappearing into whatever world he went to in shadow form.
Vii almost screamed with excitement. A perfect balance between magic and flesh! Where do these people learn it?!
Ryuk jumped down after him, trying to avoid Vii as best as he could in case she tried to 'attack' him again. He took the horse's reins (horses which he also tried to avoid as much as possible) and sauntered off towards the village.
Kai appeared beside him, once again, almost giving Ryuk a heart attack.
Link finally managed to get away from the fanatic people, he all but ran up the stairs and fell into their room with a huge sigh of relief.
They all had to share the room, but luckily there were four beds which saddened Vii since she was hoping to have an excuse to sleep next to the lovely piece of art named Ryuk.
The hero dragged himself over to the small table where the three of them were sitting, playing a game of 'go fish' (Kai taught them how to play)
"So hero, did you have fun?"
Link gulped as Kai's glare reached him, his darker self was never fond of all the attention he got because of all the girls that would hang themselves off him.
"Fear not Kaiten, I have left the hoard of women to come back to you, my one and only true love." He hopped the flattery would convince Kai to forgive him, he open his arms in invitation and waited.
Kai crinkled his nose, he knew Link was just sucking up, but why did he have to be so damn hot while doing it?! He threw his hand of cards at Ryuk's face (who rolled his eyes, already use to the abuse) and jumped onto Link's lap and hugged him. He nuzzled into the hero's neck, taking in the forest smell.
Inside Vii's head, the fan girl jumped for joy.
The moment was ruined when one of the many pocket's on Link's belt started glowing.
Kai took the small mirror out of the pocket and said angrily, "what do you want? I'm trying to fuck my hero right now!"
With a groan, Ryuk fell out of his seat and hid under the table. He's TOO blunt! Dear goddesses! He had forgotten that Xxeon was under the table as well, curled up on his master's feet. Great, and now the smell of fucking dog is overpowering...
"Now lovely! Don't say such things while there are children present!" Koal bounced Mika on his lap and she giggled.
Kotomi appeared behind him, holding Alec. "Kai, I'm pretty sure you can hold off for a few minutes, we never talk much anymore."
Kai rolled his eyes and said nothing. Yeah, there's a reason we don't talk anymore... You're annoying!
"So where is my lovely cousin?"
Vii snatched the mirror out of Kai's hands before he could answer. Wow! A communication mirror! Brilliant! "Are you speaking of the man named Shigen?"
Koal was too stunned to answer for a few seconds due to the fact that he was talking to a woman that Link and Kai seemed to know. "Um.. Yeah..."
Kai stood quickly and took the mirror back from her. "Don't worry, he's just gone out somewhere for a walk or something..." He laughed nervously and ignored the confused look Vii was giving him. "We have to go Koal! We'll talk to you later!" He dispelled the magic quickly before Koal could ask anymore questions.
Kai handed the mirror back to Link who stuffed it back into his pocket. "No need to stress Koal and Kotomi out over nothing, we're getting Shigen back soon."
There was a crash and the table shook, Ryuk appeared a few seconds later. "Ouch fuck..." He rubbed the bump on his head sadly. "Are you humans going to bed yet? It will be morning in a couple of minutes you know."
"How do you know that?" Kai asked the Haniam, a hint of a challenge was in his voice.
Ryuk pointed to the window. "It's getting bright out."
Vii ran over to the window and looked out. "That's not sun light... There's a fire!" With that said, she raced out of the room with Xxeon hot on her tail.
The other's followed, Ryuk wrapped his cloak securely around him in case any sparks flew near him.
It was a house on the outside of the village that was on fire, Link wondered why no one was paying any attention to it, instead all of the village men where directing their attention to...
Then they saw it, a large group of undead were trying to get into the village. The people lit a fire to fight them off, and one of the houses must have lit on fire by accident.
Link ran out, ready to use Din's fire, Vii was already out there, tearing threw the ranks of undead. Kai and Ryuk knew they couldn't help fight off the monsters, so instead they concentrated on the burning house.
"I'm going to use my shadows to smother the flames, you stand back!" Kai had to yell or else he wouldn't be heard over the roar of the fire.
Ryuk nodded and stepped back as far as he could, the heat was bugging him. A large cracking sound made him jump, he looked up to see a bunch of wooden boards falling towards the shadow. He yelled for Kai to move, but Kai was too busy concentrating to hear him.
The boards hit Kai full on the head, and buried him under a pile of burning rubble.
Not stopping to think, Ryuk rushed forward and grabbed a hold of the wood, he ignored the intense pain coming from his hands and arms and pulled with all he had. The boards flew up and revealed their injured prisoner who lay limp on the ground.
Ryuk picked Kai up and slung him over his shoulder, he limped away as fast as he could, trying to get away from the flames. What if I'm on fire? Damn... I'm getting... sleepy...
He clasped onto the dirt with Kai under him. Damn shadow... Why the hell did I save you anyway...? Too tiered to care about the answer, he drifted into unconsciousness.
Ok... I must say this...
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
With this done, you'll get your wish! So suck it up! :P
Poor Ryuk, I abuse him alot...
I like Vii btw, she's based off a character from my actual book, and she is obsessed with Shigen. It's funny really, all the awkward situations she puts him in.
Any questions, or comments, ask away, I'll answer them to my best ability.
