I've been holding this in for a good while, and seeing after the countdown for Pokémon X&Y swept me up with it too. So, my mind was strickly on 'WILL I GET THE GAME AT ALL!?'. Sooo... yeah.
Pudge: You're the biggest nerd, in America. NOT TECHNO NERD! AWKAWARD NERD!
Sugar: Ouch.
Pudge: People, she hurts her own sanity!
Way to be a good friend...Oh, for the ones who really liked this story, I'm putting in a sortie Short story somewhere in the middle, to make up for the lateness!
Sakuno: YAY!
Ryoma: Wait, what?
"Oh god..." The fox murmured to herself, unabe to break her eyes away from the real-life demon staring her in the eyes. Not that she had a better look, she saw the strong, sharp jaws, rippiling muscles from the neck alone, and even the unnaturally sharp tooth stuck out from it's jowls.
Sakuno' brain was racing in the mean time; it's true that most demons, even hybrids, are constantly in disguise, every day that their in a community with humans, as a way to better communicate.
Who would want to walk up to some otherworldly terror, not knowing wether or not if they'd be the last creature they'd see on the spot? And even then, like situations such as now, harmless demons have caused great chaos just by their seer size in the past. The only time one was to 'Demolve', was in times of crisis and as long as their are expert trainers in the area.
And the blood was a level 1 (Surprise Attack) on the 10 (Natural disaster/ War) scale of danger.
She snapped out of her musings, when the eye was directed at her. Then the entire body tensed.
"RUN!" The human didn't need to be told twice, she was on her feet before her hand was raked with small claws and was nearly sent flying behind the fox.
A massive wall of blurred darkness lunged at the fox, and swatted her at the brick wall, an audible snapping echoing throughout the night. . Then a series of snarles.
"BASTARD!" The creature hissed as the much smaller creature made three long gashes at it's forepaw, drawing out more dark ooze. Tamoka slide down the street, putting enough distance between her and the beast. Her hair flew wildly around her shoulders, legs and caws became more bestial, along with sharper fangs and eyes.
Then they turned behind her. "Why are you still here!?" The human fumbled with herself, before pointing ahead of her. Se followed the trembling finger's direction. The beast was stumbling up onto it's paws, jaw dropping with globs of steaming saliva. The fox flew at the beast's face, who didn't have time to dodge as three claws dug deep into it's cheek to the base of it's ear. The beast hissed and at Tamoka as she landed with ease. It raised it's hind leg and gave a swift buck at her back.
But struck air.
A deep yelp sounded out from it's mouth when she skidded to a halt in front of Sakuno, smirking at her claws, covered in bright, fresh blood. "Bad kitty~"
The human stood in shock, she knew that half breeds could be as viscous in a fight as other demons, sometimes even more so when their protecting something. As a child, she would watch her grandmother as she taught other demons and humans how to fight before. The humans never held back, knowing they were up against a much stronger opponent, the demons were more, hesitant, but did battle.
But half-breeds, she took notice the first time she saw them how they would fight; giving their all at first, but when all seemed over, a boy rushed to a fallen halva's side. Then the hybrid, just became, different. More, determined, ferocious, and somehow, evil as though it was possessed. It kept attacking, never stopping, even when it's body gave out, it kept snarling at who ever came close.
It was later on, after her grandmother took her from the training grounds did she explain what happened.
"Well, at the beginning, it was biologically impossible for humans to conceive with demons, let alone mate. It wasn't that we couldn't mate, but, to have an offspring, was one of those thing you had to be careful about. It all had to do with compatibility. And when that was out of the way, their were more complications, and a fact that few care to understand; human DNA and demon DNA, weren't easily blended within the offspring.
You see, humans, are warring creatures by nature. We must have the power to live, and for some, over others. If you mix that with the natural instincts of the demonic, then it can turn into a potent brew. Remember this Sakuno, most hybrids don't curse their heritage, they curse the danger that lies within them."
A dust cloud formed from in front of her as the fox hybrid charged again. For the last time.
An ear-splitting screech pierced their ears and scrambled all the electricity in their nerves. They barely made 6 ft., even at Tomoka's 40mph speed. Their legs gave out and tumbled onto the dry part of the street, causing lacerations to form at the knees, and burns on the parts that were clothed.
Sakuno's vision faded in and out, and feared she was beginning to slip into unconsciousness, all noises a foreboding silence. She fell into a fetal position as her senses returned, first was sight. She saw her friend, facing away, splayed across her legs like a doll, her costume now holding no modesty towards the base of her tail.
And in her peripheral vision, a large mass disturbed the dark road with a white ring. She scrambled up, mouthing incoherent words, to rouse her stubborn friend, who didn't want to wake up! She didn't need to see her closed eyes when she saw the blood around the base of her ears.
Now hearing came. The burnet's ears were flooded with what was akin to the sounds of a sick monster car. And, a faint, bird? The beast was crouched down, traces of ANY intelligence gone from those soul-less eyes. The girl slung her friends arm around her shoulders, buckling at her weight. It watched her, tail flickering back and forth behind it, making a splash of dark red paint the road, as though it was a child, and found a new toy.
A paw shot out towards them, and scraped her nose. She would have fallen, if it wasn't for the dead weight acting as a counter-balance, and continued stepping away from the monster, now a frantic limp backwards. But for every few steps, the thing crawled ever the more closer.
'I-is is it SMILING?'. She had to duck as the left shot out at her, slicing a bit of the unconscious fox's ears. She repeated dodging each swipe of claws and fur, unable to focus on those eyes at the right time, all by lady luck. Without looking, she could tell, they were close to the gate. And if she got past them, all she had to do was press a button behind the entrance and electrify anything with a heat signature, besides the two that were registered in the systems.
'Almost there' The moment her fingers grazed to cool, rugged stoney wall, was the moment she found herself flying backwards, woody thorns cutting her flesh, snagging her hair, and her friend landing somewhere beyond her.
The thick brush clawed at her being even more as she struggled to right herself up from he paralysis from the blow. it took a few seconds, but her shoulders were freed. Behind her, beyond the bush's branches was Tomoka's still form, surrounded by a pile of old cushions o be thrown out in the morning.
Her body froze in that position when hot air bellowed past her ear.
She didn't risk turning, she didn't want to, but she almost did. And within her peripheral vision, was the beginning of an open muzzle, and a sharp, white fang.
Then it happened before she could comprehend it.
A thunderous collision of dense flesh that shook the core followed by a gale of wind. The ground quaking farther away from the petrified was what brought her back again. Ear shattering guttural roars and the cracking of concert filled the night.
Her eyes were still glued to that empty spot, but not her hands. The blood that caked upon them now bore a fresher coat as they flew through the throns, grabbing handfuls and pulling her legs and lower back through the bush in a mad dash. She was freed within moments, and started to sprint down the street, the safe haven of their home no more now.
And abruptly stopped and turned, fell, and made a crawl towards the sound of a long moan of pain.
Still, as she made the desperate crawl towards the slowly waking fox, her eyes never went towards the blurs of black fur, knowing fully well she will catch another bout of paralyze again.
Her fingers came into contact with sharp claws and she grabbed whatever limb of the fox was there. At first it seemed that she would have to carry her again, until Tamoka found her bearings upon wobbly knees.
"com'on Tamo, com'on!" The human hooped her arms under the fox's, which brought her body more strength than clarity, and walked in semi-tandem with Sakuno into a slow yet frenzied walk.
"Com'on, we're almost there!" The sounds of the creatures from behind grew fainter, but was as present as ever once they turned the corner. The fox's movements became smoother as sped towards the much more lightened street, where there were plenty of areas to hide from the beasts and scream their heart's content for help before it attracts any other monsters.
The human dared to look back for the first time, the brawl seemingly never getting any quieter, before realizing her friend had stopped in her tracks. "Tamo?! Com'o-!" The human fell upon a pillar of familiar dark fluff, silky and somewhat cool. Her head snapped past the smaller chest and into two yellow moons.
The human stood petrified, both fists tightened over it's forearm. The beast stared back towards the girl, and lowered it's head towards her, jaws parting open to reveal white fangs a few inches from her face.
And chirped.
Like a bird, or a chick, or, a giant cat?
She was shocked out of her mini-panic when the cold wet nose pressed onto the space between her eyes and the bridge of her nose, and fell upon her rump.
The creature gave out a rumbling noise and tilted it's head at the human. Then looked towards what she was sure was the fox and repeated the action with her.
Well, now that she looked closer at the thing, it was, smaller than the previous one. Then again, this one wasn't attacking them.
It looked a little more, fluffy, around the scruff and it's large paws, and a little less so on the rest of it's body. The muscles weren't as distinctive on this one, and the face and muzzle was rounder, it's ears, while still as sharp looking, were a little bigger and even sported small tuffs at the tip. And then it's eyes. Even as they looked over her at the sounds of the brawl and began to chirp once again, the eyes were bigger and brighter, almost like a-
"AH!" A blur of tan and chocolate brushed past the fox's legs and sat upon the human's feet.
Merow!
Those yellow eyes brightened the moment they spotted the small creature and gave one more chirp.
The two watched as the beast lowered itself like a dog towards her again, sniffing the air a few times before the familiar feline started letting out a series of mews. The creature's ears shot up in such a fashion that if she wasn't so scared, would've been adorable. It's eyes shot towards the human and locked eyes with each other for the longest moments.
From behind her, the sound of a body hitting pavement broke the creature's gaze, and she found Tamoka on the ground once again. 'This is ironic...'
She turned back around to jump back at how the beast was literally breathing down her neck. It made a strange, strangled noise within it's throat, and snapped away from the girl as though she struck it. 'Did I?' It lowered t's head towards her again, mouth ajar, and blinked owlishly upon her form; the strange smell of sugar and heat wafting off of it's tongue. After a minute, it rose back up, and snapped it's head towards the growing sounds of snarls.
She gasped when the creature's thick paw stretched towards her, her body prepared to run. But did a double take when it passed by her. She watched with a held breath when the beast's head pass over her, almost mesmerized, before she watched the upside down scene of it putting it's fangs under Tamoka's body.
"H-HEY!" Before she could scramble up, the beast had the limp body in it's jaws and over her head, similar to how a fairy tale princess would by a dragon taunting a knight. But the characters were much different, 'Or, the roles were switched.'
The creature swung it's head around and Sakuno could faintly see her friend's bright tails as they were placed behind the thing's slender neck.
"What the, HEY!" A mixture between a grunt and a huff, came from the creature's muzzle as the petite human pounded on it's foreleg then shrank back.
"..S-sorry?" The thumping noise of it's tail whipping the concrete told her to cease any and all movement.
"MeoRw!" The forgotten brown feline brushed it's bushy tail on Sakuno's legs before it jumped towards the larger being. Before the girl could stop it, the tiny creature bit the beast's paw, and elicited a sharp hiss. However, instead of slamming it's paw down on the cat and making a large pool of mince meat, the giant feline crouched down, mindful of the dead weight, and the cat jumped onto it's nose, trotted past it's eyes, and sat upon it's head, it's puffy chest puffed all the while.
Sakuno could only look on in amazement at the spectal before she noticed that the beast was closer than before. The wet nose pressed on her skin, so icy cold, followed by a low rumble.
"Uh, what?" It repeated the action, albeit a little more roughly. Her mind was whirling like a tornado for knowledge to figure out what it wanted, and came up with the idea of her hand between it's eyes.
"um. Happy?" The creature stared back at her, almost as though she had grown a head and flew off. The ears flopped down as did it's eyelids halfway, and within seconds, she was looking at an upside down world, then fell onto a hard creased seat of black. Everything spun around and moved past her, slow enough to see what was what, but quick enough to become a blur on her bumpy ride through the night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*SHORTIE~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Brown, innocent eyes blinked in confused, and angry darker ones as they tore from her, to the pest in her hands, and back to her.
...
There was nothing but silence as the two young girls stood in the center of Tomoka's living room. (Sakuno: 11 Tomoka: 13) It was so thick, it almost suffocated the human. It was especially more uncomfortable when she learned that her friend slept straight in a two piece lingerie, on a couch, surrounded by snacks, with her hair down, at 2 P.M! IF that wasn't enough, the fox had already started on her trademark curvature, and even, as they dubbed it, 'chest bumps'.
In a way, she felt more embarrassed than her just by wearing a skort.
"...well?" Sakuno tried again, hand absentmindedly touching anything in the area, and landed on a fuzzy head. And flinched when the fox's eyes snapped to her again, but with a more subtle twitch. "W-what do you think?"
Tomoka held in a snarl as the thing had the balls to lick at the pale hand that used to rest on it's ears, completely ignoring the hybrid. 'In MY F****NG HOUSE
"...ra..."
Sakuno tilted he head, and fished out a carrot, "Are you allergic to rabbits?" The interloper rubbed it blackish fuzzy head on the hand before munching away at the offered food. It's bright greenish, yellow eyes closed, rustling the silver ribbon tied around it's neck.
'YELLOW?! SAKUNO YOU F****NG IDIOT WHY IN THE HELL IS THAT THING ALIVE IN MY HOUSE!?'
"Uh..." The rabbit opened it's eyes, which stood out more than the ribbon, and stared up at the young girl holding it. "D-does Kina know?" At that, a rapid thumping sounded out from the spiral stairs before an albino jumped down the last fligh and onto a pile of pillows from the sleep over. At least she wore a nightgown, hair spilling out from a pastel colored do-rag.
The fox turned from her towards the rabbit, and then her pink eyes fell upon, it.
Silently, Kina walked over, never once breaking eyes contact, until she stood right in front of Sakuno. "Oh, Kina, um..." Sakuno scuffed her feet in embarrassment, and looked down towards the rabbit, who was sniffing it's cute nose at a lock of silvery hair. "This is Midnight, He's for you, cause I, um..."
"I'm sorry I didn't make it, to the...funeral..." Though she couldn't see it, those pink eyes widened up, before staring back at the creature that nipped at her arm. "..I, we, ALL, loved her dearly, and...grandma, she was sick, and I..." A tear dropped to the ground.
"i'm sorry." Sakuno gasped as pale hands slipped past her arms and lifted the creature from under it's arms. It was brough to her budding chest, and held it close.
"K-kin" the words died in her throat as a pair of cold lips pressed onto her forehead. "HEY!"
The humans ducked at the cupcake that flew at them. To the side, was a very peeved fox. "SHE'S MINE!!"
Kina pulled at the corner of her eye, and stuck out her tongue before sprinting away, Tomoka in hot pursuit. "GET BACK HERE!"
"uh, s-should I just wait here then?"
`~Outside~`
Before Kina rounded through the fence, she gave the rabbit a death hug again, relishing in how it went from snuggling her budding chest, and went to screaming bloody murders. She stopped in mid run, turned, gave the pervert another bone crushing squeeze, and let it fall from her arms. Before she punted it over the fence, a good 20ft away, and into the trash compactor as it began to do it's name sake. She gave a small chuckle before sprinting off when the fox spotted her.
As the macine finished, a black ooze came seeping out and slowly morphed into a dark mass. A feline moved out from out the bushes and sautéed towards it, it's dark green coat shining as much as it's happy ember eyes did. It sat down next to the younger boy, holding onto his stomach, and moaning.
"Mewor?" Had fun as me Oni-chan?
"DOn't start! OWww."
