Kumiho - Nine-Tail Fox
Dongsaeng - Big Brother or Brother
Chessboard, Rook - Marigold
Just if everyone knew about the truth, reality wouldn't be such a lie. People like Sharrif wouldn't become what they are like now and certainty not all the mentors would be in this dreaded world, waiting for a bullet to go through their heart. If greed and pride haven't corrupt the world, Kae Seung Hyun certainly wouldn't be standing here, in the middle of a crimson red pool, smiling like a broken doll. Acid rain fell, it sting and burning him, but the male simply choose to ignored it, he can still hear the large mutant dogs from the fail experiments of district 5 lurking around, corning him like a small little fox. He was a helpless little fox, he couldn't survive in this cruel game of humanity they would say and the tributes, all lost and gone knowing to kill him off first so that they can live on. He doesn't have a weapon and chooses not to, he doesn't pay attention in any of the survival lessons and he skips it to go pick flowers and sleep. He slept a month off, he frolic a month off, Kae Seung Hyun welcomed death. You don't test Life, Life test you.
Kae wants to go back to his little ideal world, where the world was still peaceful and he would be back in his hometown, happy and cheerful. But greed corrupted Serdin, the mighty kingdom wanted more power, they went to take Xenia and made the what was once a holy land nothing but a land of the dead. Not a single living soul is on the barren land, its once past glory is now dust, only existing in history and books. It was matter of time before Serdin took other places, Alcubra fell to the growing Kingdom's hands, monarchs and their family were reduced to mere commoners, suffering the cruel hands of Serdin. Soon the Xenians and Alcurbians were normal Serdians, having no memory of their once great mother land. Kae though such crude thing will never happen, but it was only the matter of time when he experience the same thing. He can still feel those hungry flames engulfing his house and memories, the cries of the people who saved him from the evil hands of Serdin and the sight of his big brother, stabbed 13 times and burned, Alive. They took him in the end, barely any children lived or survived. When they got taken to Serdin, they died from the illness in Serdin or killed themselves from the pain in their hearts, but Kae lived, the made it through.
'You don't test Life Kae, Life test you.' his brother always taught him that but sometimes Kae want to scream and yell, Life tested him by having his hometown destroyed, abused and now like Xenia, barren and dead. Life tested him by having him to go into a cruel game of to kill-or-be-killed. Life tested him by making him live but now broken and lost. Life tested him and not once he tested Life, not when he killed those that he once call friends, not once when he lied with out batting an eye, and not once when his brother died for nothing. Kae didn't blame anyone, he only blamed himself, for being so weak and so selfish and so pathetic.
Red. Crimson red spraying everywhere, foul stench of iron filled the sweet scented air. The young fox looked around him, dull chocolate eyes stared at the lying body, cream gray hair that is dyed with red. It was troublesome indeed, he always hated swordsman. Reaching up to wipe something off his face, but only a smear of red painted his face, looking down at those pale hands, he only sees red, dark crimson red.
It was still warm, not too hot nor to cold, just right, just perfect right. Interested, the male continued to stare down at his hands, ahhh, how long has it been? Smiling the male only licked the blood off, 'sweet.' he thought as he looked down at the body, it must be the owner, for his blood tasted nothing but bitterness. He missed this feeling, this rush of sensation to grab that measly thing called the neck and strangle it off, or better, snap it. Reaching down, the male wrapped his pale hands around the small and delicate throat, slowly he added pressure, he watched the young male's poker face change slightly. Smiling more he added bit more pressure to see what the other's reactions is going to be like, he is interested, after all the other is rumored to be an Ice Mountain from Acho.
Auburn fox ears twitched slightly as the male let go of the injured swordsman, moving his head ever so slightly as a fist of burning fire glazed past his cheeks, making a small cut. He knew well who it is as he smiled, what a lucky day.
"Let him go." Voice firm and strict as the fist stayed in place, smiling more wider the fox only closed his eye.
"And if I refuse?" Gently like snow, the other replied with no signs of aggression. He doesn't want to start a fight with the red haired fighter just yet, he isn't finished with this wander yet.
"Then I will force you." The boy replied back, coolly and calmly as his bright golden eyes glared at the back of the fox's head.
"Force me? How would you?" grinning the white haired fox asked as he opened his eye and glanced downwards at Zero.
"Don't underestimate me." The other growled, Fiesty.
"Scary, Red Lion, don't be so mean to this poor little fox." Turning around, caramel meet gold, putting on an innocent visage the other only smiled calmly and innocently as if he was just some innocent by passer.
"Innocent? My ass. You are more foul the Lucifer himself." The other spat at him, fierce and fiery gold glared harder at the fox.
"Ouch, that hurts, Jin Kaien." The other chuckled as the innocent face was wiped off when the other stretched purposely on the other's name.
The other didn't move but the young fighter was taken by surprise at the other's change of personality. Honestly, Kae hates Jin, he despise him and not only him but also Zero as well. If he isn't following that bitch's order, he would've killed the two weak boys in an instant. Jin is so annoying, always assuming things, just like the other people. He also mock the Silver Knights, they think they are so mighty with their fiery strength and will power. His ass. Honestly, they are the cowards, they are the pathetic weak losers that are being played in the hands of Serdin. They not just called him a coward but a dog of Serdin, as if Kae gives a single damn to that annoying brat queen. She is nothing but a poser that was shoved up there to take lead for the sake of nothing, he doesn't want to be the dog, he despise the Serdin for what they done to his homeland. To be even more honest, Lucifer is no where as bad as people think he is, he may have an unpleasing attitude but if you just know how to interact with the angel, he is actually a lot more better then the queen herself. But he trained hard, harder then anyone. He doesn't believe in the power of a weapon, they are nothing, raw fist and leg are way more better. He fights with his body and his soul, not with those mere toys that they call weapons.
Another thing that the fighter is irked about is the wander, he hated his gain of power. He never trained hard for it and here he is bashing through the tributes. If it weren't for that Grandark sword then the wander wouldn't be so powerful. He didn't earn for the power, he was GIVEN with the power, something that Kae despise with all his heart. He wants to show the two what reality is, what the truth really is. He want them to suck up their pride and stop being so vain, stop drowning themselves in their childish dreams and lies. Wake up, the world is worst then you thought it would be. But that wasn't the problem, Kae was jealous. He is jealous of two brats.
Kae was stripped away from everything, his pride, his homeland, freedom and power. He was given, he was robed and no matter how hard he worked for them, he is still robed, again and again. But it isn't fair, why must he be robed and work so hard while those two can just simply do nothing and get what they want. Why must Lucas be raped to have what he wanted, why must he cling so hard and lie to himself everyday just to keep on living? Why must Sharrif become what she hates to just smile? Smiling was hard, people depended on him but was there someone for him when he wanted to lean on someone? No. Because he has no one. Everything that he once had is gone like a snap and he just too tired to get them back now.
Little feet running upon the dirt road so giddily adding speed with each steps it takes. Auburn locks fly along with the warm spring breeze as wide chocolate brown eyes light up with nothing but joy sparkling like little stars high up in the dark night sky. In the little rough hands, held so ever delicately was a bright gold flower.
"DONGSAENG!, DONGSAENG!" yelling with joy the little boy couldn't help but yell for him. Upon reaching an old looking temple that was taken care with love and passion, little feet hoping up the big cobble stone stairs, ignoring the little pebbles that are digging into his little feet.
Leaning against the wooden pillars that has the carving of foxes with scribbles that the little boy never understood was a tall male. Beautiful pure white hair, brilliant gold eyes looking at the running child slit up like a fox, a soft smile was on the male's face as he watched the approaching little boy.
"LOOK KUMIHO!" the little boy jumped and hugged the taller other smiling giddily showing the other what was in his hand. A small but beautiful golden orange flower that is falling onto one side, wonderful citrus smell danced everywhere in the old abandoned temple. Looking down the male smiled even more as he petted the boy gently on the head.
"Where did you get that Kae?" the male sat down with the child still clinging onto him, smiling brightly the boy beamed at him.
"I found it on the street! It reminded me of Kumiho dongsaeng!" the boy exclaimed with such joy as he put his hand up at the male.
"For me?" the male asked a bit taken back with surprise as the little boy nodded with more joy.
"Yes! It is bright and pretty just like Kumiho! and it smells just like donsaeng as well!" the boy smiled up at the male liking the fact that the other male appreciates his little gift.
The male smiled warmly as he ruffled the little boy's head softly as he hugged the child tightly but not too tight that the other can't breath, "Thank you for your gift Kae, I love it very much."
The little boy felt warm, he enjoyed the other's pat on his head and that soft gentle smile that he gets from the other. It made his heart all warm and fuzzy and it made him proud as well. He never knew what the flower was nor the name but all he knew was that the flower is just like his dongsaeng for some reason. He wished that he can forever live like this, just being with his dongsaeng in this old but cozy temple.
That's right, if everyone knew about the truth, reality wouldn't be such a lie. Kae Seung Hyun certainly wouldn't be here, feeling the touch of the last tribute's pumping heart in his hand. The smell of his blood wouldn't be killing Kae's nose, the pained look on the other's face, the face of "Just kill me off, begging for Kae to ride him from his misery.". It didn't matter to the fox anymore, he didn't care, with one swift pull the other is dead. The warm pumping organ stopped and soon it became cold from the cold air.
You don't test Life. Life test you. That's what they all say
