In the past sometime

In the midst of the village was a young boy. Today he was dressed in wear that would only be compared to that of a slaveboy. His outfit torn and tattered and tied up with bits of string, like a poor man's Christmas present. Deivii let off a soft sigh and closed his eyes. The sun was beating on his head and he was sitting beneath it. A break from chores allowed him time to cool off, helping cool off by the sweat he'd worked up. He was young probably only thirteen or so at this time.

He was in the shadows of a fence. The gold of his eyes sticking out like an alley cat. Back then he had no scar on his face, but today he had a bandage. His hair was messy and untamed, but sort of suave in a soft teal color. He let out a sigh of contentment and daydreamed. Today had been a rough one, but that was nothing new. He tended to have a lot of those.

The sound of footsteps could be heard as well as she sound of a blade of some sort being sharpened by something. A red haired female was walking down a road using a hand held tool of some sort to sharpen the red bladed katana that she was currently holding in her other hand. Her violet hued gaze was locked onto the blade as if nothing else mattered to her at the moment. When she was done, a light smirk appeared on her lips and she stopped moving in order to sheath her blade. As she looked down, she noticed a young boy resting against a fence looking a little roughened up, almost like a slave. “What happened to you?” The female asked as she raised one of her eye brows, her hands putting away the tool she used to sharpen her katana blade. “You look like you just went through Hell.”

Deivii was a bit slow on the response. People tended to not speak to him, after all he was as they called 'a bad seed'. It wasn't true though. He was just a victim of circumstance and he wondered if he always would be. With a soft smile he looked at the girl, "Who me?" His words shook slightly with laughter. "Naw just the usual. Doing some chores." Of course his chores never ended but... that was besides the point. Standing up he walked over to the girl and looked at her waist; not trying to look at her crotch he was looking at something else. He grinned a big and goofy grin, obviously not noticing what he could have been mistaken in doing, as he was a bit ditsy when it came to that stuff. "That's a nice sword. You seem to cherish it." Of course he was trying to make conversation, but the boy was odd. His gold eyes flicked to her with a softer smile. "My name's Deivii, what's yours?"

“Yes you. Who else would I be talking to?” She said as she noticed that he seemed to be quite…well…a ditz and this is just from the first few seconds. “Chores? I would ask what your chores are, but then again I have a feeling I don’t want to know with that bandage on you. Or is that from an accident of some sort?” She asked him as she crossed her arms over her chest a bit while the boy moved to stand up and walk over to her. At his big and goofy grin with his eyes zeroed on her waist and crotch area, she sweatdropped as the corner of her left eye twitched a bit in annoyance. Even at this age she’s being checked out. She raised her hand off her arm as if she was getting ready to knock the crap out of the side of his head, but stopped when he mentioned the sword. As her head nods and she closes her eyes a bit as if to calm herself, she spoke. “Thank you. Indeed I do, it’s my most prized possession.” As her eyes opened back up, he was looking her in the eye this time and smiled while asking her name. “I’m Kaelos, Kaelos Hoshi. Nice to meet you.”

Deivii nodded his head at the mention of an accident. She had seemed upset with him for a minute, but that quickly vanished. He wondered what that was about, but shrugged it off, enjoying company that didn't hate him. He rubbed the back of his messy-haired head and closed his eyes a moment before looking up at the sky. "Kaelos Hoshi, what a pretty name." He was naturally complimenting her, after all it was so rare he met people who would stay around him. His other hands moved quickly and pulled behind his head and locked at his neck. He swayed a moment before he spoke again. "So, I've got some free time before I get back to work, want to do something? I don't know what your hobbies are, but I'm sure they beat anything I do on a daily basis." Again he laughed lightly; a cheerful and good-hearted laugh. Almost carefree did the boy seem as he spoke, rocking on his feet with an expecting smile.

At the young male saying her name is pretty, Kaelos blinked a few times as if she was in shock. Most people would take her name as a bad omen that she was trouble, since her name was pronounced Chaos, yet it was spelled differently thanks to the creativity of her deceased parents. “Pretty? You’re the second to think such a thing. The first being my older cousin.” She said with a shake of her head as she felt the eyes of the other villagers as they walked by the duo. She noticed how the villagers were looking at this young male named Deivii with the same disgust and hatred that they usually have when they look at herself. It seemed like this person was an outcast, just like her, which made her more open to speaking with him since they could understand each other in a sense. Her eyes followed his swaying movements as he spoke once more. “I mainly just train or walk about in the wilderness, not much to do when you are considered an outcast and hated by the village.” She said as she glared at one of the villagers that purposefully ran into her as they walked by, yet she didn’t attack them in any way, but she was getting slightly annoyed. Her eyes then went back to the male. “Let’s go take a nature walk of sorts, it is a nice day after all.” She said as she looked up at the sky that was quite blue with a bit of clouds.

Deivii watched her actions calmly. She seemed to show a distaste for people. The two of them were very similar. Both seemed thrown away from society; both had the same looks of hate and disgust towards the, however the reasons differed greatly. Deivii was a bad child. He was always getting into trouble, or at least that's what the villagers thought. His gold eyes flickered closed a moment then he once again opened them, still grinning. He wouldn't let them bring him down and as someone purposely bumped into Kaelos, he would grab at her arm to steadier her. Of course an action of pure instinct. "You okay?" He asked with a voice soft and concerned. "Don't mind people, they can be real assholes."

Of course it wasn't natural for a kid so young to swear, but with the way his parents treated him, he knew the word Fuck as a familiar pronunciation in his vocabulary. Naturally he didn't understand how 'bad' those words were, just that grown ups used them often. "And a hike of sorts? Sounds great!" Moving to follow, he half tripped and fell at her feet. Obviously he was a tad bit uncoordinated. After a moment he stood up, dusting himself off and gave a nervous smile. "That.. didn't happen.."

As Deivii moved to steady her, she looked to him as she nodded her head. “I’m alright, I’ve been in worse situations then an asshole bumping into me on purpose. But thanks though and yes they can be. But then again I can be one as well, heh.” She told the male as she smirked a bit. She was starting to enjoy talking with this young male as he seemed to not only be nice towards her but he also was quite amusing at times. She didn’t mind that he swore, as she has sworn before and frankly doesn’t care what the other villagers think of her for using such foul language. At his response of him wanting to go with her on a hike, she nodded her head and turned around as if to lead him onwards. Though she stopped and blinked as he tripped and fell at her feet. This causing her to chuckle softly as she checked him for any injuries before she started walking once more. “I won’t tell anyone. Besides I doubt any one else would say something.” She promised him in a teasing manner as they walked, a small smirk of amusement on her lips.

Deivii smiled, agreeing completely. He had been in worse situations as well, but he wouldn't go off on some tangent speaking of what his past was or his home life or anything in general. He hair framed his face as he looked up from his dusting, a puff of air escaping his lips to get the bangs out of his eyes. "I need.. a major haircut." He let out a laugh. "Anyways, lead the way? I don't get out much, not sure what places are more fun than others." Truthfully he didn't know many places at all. Sure he ran errands, but for somewhere fun or entertaining to walk, yeah that wasn't going to happen. His body straightened out the crumpled uniform as he looked around warily. "Let's hurry before someone sees us. I don't run well." He explained giving darting glances to a few of his clan members that had suspicious glares locked upon him. Deivii gave a half-hearted smile and waved before turning and looking anxiously to follow Kaelos.

At the mention of Deivii needing a major haircut, one of Kaelos’ eye brows quirked up as she looked over her shoulder at him. “I can give you a hair cut, although I’ll be using my katana blade so you’ll have to stay still if you want to be unharmed.” She offered as she started to lead them out of the village and down a beaten path that would lead to one of her favorite places to go. It was a hidden area within the forest, a lake of sorts. “I’ll protect you, most people are afraid of me anyways. Might as well use that fear against them.” She said with a slight snicker as she ducked under a couple of low tree branches that hid the lake from view. As she stepped close to the lake, she turned to the side to look over at the other male. “A hidden lake I have found, one of the places I go to train or to just spend some time relaxing. What do you think?” She stated before she took a seat on a big flat rock.

Deivii grinned nervously at her offer on the haircut. "Uhm.. that's okay. I have bad luck so even the most coordinated have almost slit my throat. Though now that I think about it, it could have been on purpose." His hand stroked his chin thoughtfully before his feet carried him quickly after her. "Protect me? That's more difficult than it sounds!" He teased gently. "You see, lady luck has something against me and well... shit happens alot and yeah.." So vague. Deivii just couldn't be specific on what he was talking about. His eyes looked aound nervously before he gazed at the wonderful view before him. His lips curled into a smile as he managed a curt nod. "It's a wonderful place. Seems quite relaxing. I can't blame you for coming here." He gave her a soft, friendly look that said something he didn't quite catch. It wasn't sympathy, just a sort of caring for people despite they'd just met. He did tend to understand the outcasts better than most.

“Oh? Well then perhaps you could style it in such a way that it stays out of your eyes?” The female asked as she snickers softly. “Lady luck? I don’t really believe in luck. I believe everything happens for a reason. There’s no such thing as coincidence.” Kaelos states as she relaxes on the rock she is sitting upon. “Indeed it is. Feel free to come here if you want in the future.” She said as she smirks a bit and closes her eyes as she sighs in relief. “Can I ask you what you meant earlier when you said that shit happens around you a lot? You don’t have to answer, I am just curious.” The female asked him before she opened her eyes and looked to the male named Deivii.

Deivii nodded and laughed lightly. It was half-hearted though. His eyes showing something like a shallow belief. "I suppose it is silly to believe in luck." He did believe though. What had he done wrong to be forced into such an awkward situation where he was constantly in trouble. Did he deserve everything that he had gotten? He didn't believe that. He hadn't done anything wrong. All he had ever tried to do was simply help others. If that was his crime, well then he'd continue to believe in bad luck. He'd done nothing to earn this Karma. Snapping back down to earth he gave his goofy smile. "Shit that happens? Oh.. I just get in trouble a lot. My sister calls me a victim of circumstance." A shrug of his shoulders and he chuckled. "Suppose she's right."

Kaelos watched him closely as he spoke some before he appeared to be lost within his own thoughts. Who is he… She thought to herself as her eyes narrowed some in a way that showed she too was thinking to herself. The female turned her head and closed her eyes fully as she waited for the male to speak up once more. When he did, she shrugged her own shoulders before she spoke. “Perhaps, I can’t say much about what you mean.” She stated before she moved to get off the big flat rock and sit on the ground with her legs stretched out in front of her and her upper back resting against the rock behind her. She then went silent as she didn’t really know what else to say or talk about. As the female never usually speaks more than two sentences to another. “Hm…” Was all she said before she opened her eyes slightly, allowing her gaze to travel across the hidden area they were currently in.

Deivii sighed and enjoyed the air before he stripped off his top and put it down. His body held scars on the torso and along the curves of his arms. He grinned before walking around a moment and examining all of the surroundings. "So it's a really nice day today." Why had he taken off his shirt? He wanted to test the water. As he leaned down and went to swirl his hands in the water, a loud noise went of and he got startled and toppled over head first. He slammed into the water, flailing about like a spazz. It was common for Deivii to get in trouble like this. He had shouted before he fell, and hit his head upon falling in. Really, this boy seemed like he was five with his awful coordination.

From the corner of her eye, Kaelos saw Deivii sigh before he decided to take off his top showing to the world the scars along his torso and arms. Damn…he almost reminds me of Frankenstein with all of those scars on his body…And at such a young age… She thought to herself as one of her eyebrows perked upwards before she moved her head to watch him walk over to the lake and bent down to test the water at the edge. The female heard a loud noise as well, though her body didn’t jump, all she did was merely turn her head to look in the general direction where she heard the noise. “What the hell was that…?” She asked out loud only to get a loud splash as her answer in the area where Deivii was last seen by her. Kaelos turned her head to look over at the lake to see the young male flailing about like a spazz. “Hold on, I’m coming.” She called out to him as she got up and rushed over to the male tossing her katana to the side before she got in the water to grab a hold of him. “Relax, I’ve got you.” She said as she kept a grasp on him with one arm while the other was used to help propel the duo to the edge of the lake where she would safely put him. “Are you alright?” The female then raised her head before she glared and grabbed her blade. She ran off into the forest, leaving the poor boy there. “Sorry...But I must go now...” Was all she said before she disappeared.
