An adventurer's soul [fb/Saze]

Kyou held out his arm as his other came to his lips. A soft whistle resounding through the circle he created with the pointer and thumb pressing to his lips. The sound floated on the air into the wind of the seemingly endless valley. Above the sun shone brightly, the eyes of others far from him. His dark eyes catching onto the movements of a bird in the distance. The small spec slowly grow along the horizon before landing on the outstretched limbs. Cooing softly, the boy stroked the bird's head before pressing a small item to its beak. A soft and quick movement, the bird bent it's neck forward and gobbled up whatever the item was.

A sort of chuckle befell the boy's lips as he sat down, the gold of his earring glinting in the burning sunlight. The roar of a waterfall in the distance and yet close enough to soothe the silence. Statues stood like mountains supporting the waterfall. Green grass stretched to a river below. However the two sat on a cliff above the river, but below the tip of falling water. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and inhaled the freshwater smell. The wind ruffled his dark hair that had almost a blue hue to it. The spikes in the back wavering messily before falling still once more. Noone believed his hair was natural, but he was the only one that needed to know.

The billowing clouds above shimmered off of the chain around his neck, bringing out the satin sort of glow of his blue top that sat over a white sort of fishnet. His sleeves were from his arms down, connecting in a triangular shape at his middle finger, a silver ring keeping it in place. Around his neck sat a crimson scarf, swishing whimsically behind him. His pants were baggy and blue like his top, cramped into his shinobi shoes. His nails all painted a black, toes freely tapping on the insides of his soles. The day was wonderfully warm and he enjoyed every second of it. "What a beautiful day, huh Zeke?"

A small beetle started to fly about. The beetle landed before the man. The beetle started to move about a little. Looking at the man it twitched it's antennae. This large insect is about the length of a finger from the tip to the first knuckle. The beetle wandered up to the man and just stared at him.

A few moments later a swarm of male Kikaichu started to rapidly move about. It took only a few moments for the males to appear. A few moments after that, a petite woman with an almost natural ninja feel appeared. The woman stared at the man a moment. Her cyan hair cut short to just below her ears with the rest laid back and fluttering as it were, her fishnet portraying her skin on her stomach and legs until they reached her ankles. Her tight shorts leaving barely anything to the imagination.

Her sleeves slightly open to allow the males to release. Adorning her mouth and nose were a cloth that covered them so nothing could be seen. The woman never said a word and just stared at him, awaiting his response to all these bugs. Most of the bugs formed a large group and retreated back in to her sleeves. The rest of them swarmed around the two, waiting for orders...

The wind blew warmly over his body causing a smile to crack over his mouth. His eyes closed in the contentment of the moment. The bird however began to shuffle in an irritated way. A laugh fell from Kyou's lips before he spoke, "Silly bird, what's wrong?" In response the predatory animal screeched and flapped fearfully. "Zeke, calm down.. What's wrong boy?"

As his eyes opened, Kyou let out a shout. "Oh dear god I've gone blind!" His words were shaky and shocked as he reached towards the air. "Zeke? Zeke! I can't see I need you to be my eyes!" His voice shouted as if the bird were miles away. As the horde of bugs disappeared from blocking his view, he blushed faintly; embarrassed by his actions. "Oh thank god that's.." He stopped. Making a weird face he began coughing and hacking. His body curved and his face was towards the ground as he continued.

After a moment he gave a rough swallow and coughed a couple more times. His voice when he spoke a sort of shaky tune. "I think I swallowed one.." His eyes watered from gagging. After wiping his eyes, he looked towards the way his bird was glaring. A nervous laugh falling from his lips as he waved dumbly to the girl who stood there. "Uhmm hey..."

The girl didn't say a word. The girl watched him as he made an ass of himself and tried to recover. She finally stepped forward in her shinobi sandals. She leaned in and pressed her ear against the man's chest. With in moments she then stepped back and spoke in her kind yet stern tone, this was obviously grey Saze.

"No you didn't. Other wise I would hear his screams for mercy as he was slowly devoured by your intestinal fluids as they ate away his skin and bones, popping his nerves and blood vessels."

The girl just stood there, after saying that, expecting some sort of reaction. The bird however, was more annoying to her because of what birds usually eat. She opened her palms and the bugs all flooded back in to her sleeves so that they would be able to effectively hide from the bird, but unbeknownst to them, he was a meat eater, not an insect eater.

Kyou's expression was one of confusion as the woman approached him, pressing an ear to his chest. He wasn't one for human contact, but it didn't bother him either. His eyes were focused on her with curiosity. "Uhmm what are you..?" was all he managed before the girl stood up and spoke to him.

"No you didn't. Other wise I would hear his screams for mercy as he was slowly devoured by your intestinal fluids as they ate away his skin and bones, popping his nerves and blood vessels."

Kyou was stumped, a dumbfounded expression on his face. In a way it was funny, in another just plain pathetic. As he recovered from his loss of words his sentence was something to be expected from someone new to conversations. "That's err... kinda dark." The sentence falling slowly from his lips, his voice cracking once it reached the word dark. He gave an uncomfortable smile and watched her call back the bugs. It confused him. Why would she be worried? A hand sub-consciously went to Zeke as he rested it atop the bird's head.

"So uhmm yeah.. reasonable reaction there... might I ask why you assaulted me with bugs in the first place?" His words were those of concern and interest rather than disdain or anger. He shifted, going back to his previous sitting position, allowing one leg to be outstretched while the other was bent at the knee. Zeke fluttered his wings before going back to a sort of relaxed position and eying the girl for a potential danger.

The girl ignored most of what he said. Why? well it was obvious, she was searching for some sort of sign or huge showing of danger as she was almost totally focused on the bird. The owner not so much. Why was that you ask? Well it was simple, by her standards, he was harmless. The bird however, was of great potential danger to her and her bugs. With a swift movement she jumped backwards, and with in moments a large swarm of bugs appeared in front of her, making her invisible to the naked eye at the moment. a small rustling sound was heard before the bugs cleared away and the body of the girl stood there. It walked back towards the man and sat down.

"Perhaps you can tell your friend to back up a bit"

She said as a finger was lifted and pointed towards the man's bird. She didn't move after this, but simply just watched what would happen. Watched and hoped, hoped that nothing ill would befall her precious bugs...

The girl's actions were odd to him. She seemed to be unnerved by something. What was it? He couldn't be sure. She jumped away from him before seeming to disappear in her bugs once more. His eyes furrowed curiously at her actions, slightly arched, "So uhmm what?" It was slightly obvious that the man wasn't book smart as most of everything was flying over his head. However once she spoke it all made sense to him.

"Oh Zeke?" The thought made him laugh. "No worries about him, Zeke's a predator bird. He only eats snakes, small voles, moles, rats, smaller birds, things like that. He dislikes bugs to be truthful." As if supporting his owner's words, the bird let off a sort of screech and bit at Takuro's hair.

The man blinked and looked confused at the bird, wondering why he was so angry. "What did I do? I don't talk too much! Shush I'm trying to make friends!"

The girl remained silent and just sat there. Finally the real girl came out of the bushes near the clone and stood there. Finally she too sat down. Placing her hand on the other girl's shoulder she started to deform in to small Kikaichu and they retreated back in to her sleeves. After, she spoke gently with a soft voice that was just a hint of sternness.

"Alright. my name is Saze, and though it is not exactly something I normally do, Hello."

She said as she started to shift from Grey to white. It was odd, what he said made her giggle a bit and turn almost fully to white Saze. She opened her mouth again and spoke more words that formed sentences. Her body simply moving slightly to adjust and what not from her position.

"Mister, what is your name? Mine is Saze...."

Kyou nodded, "Sazen..." Before he could finish her name she re-introduced herself with a giggle and a grin. "Uhmm Saze then.." He rubbed the back of his head, a bit baffled by the woman. It was almost as if her personality did a 180, though he wasn't complaining. He seemed unbothered by her bugs that she obsessed over and tried to push himself from his sitting position to a standing one. At his full height he stood a good five foot eleven, not exactly tall, but taller than some. His scarf falling into tattered ends behind him. The bird stretched out a wing, soon preening itself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Saze. I'm Takuro, most call me Kyou. It's easier to pronounce." Giving a warm grin, he held out his hand, quite confident she'd shake it. At least he hoped she would because he had already made himself look like an ass once today.

The girl giggled and jumped up on to him giving him a gentle kiss on his cheek. After of course, she shook his hand. Stepping back she happened to smell a slight cherry smell in the air. What it was she didn't know but she wanted it. She then giggled more and reached up to the man once more, whispering in to his ear.

"You know Ky-chan, I LOVE cherry lollipops!!!!! and and and, I think your really really nice. So how would you like to be friends? He-he!"

She giggled and jumped around a bit. Her 10 year old persona taking the best of her. It was indeed something to be sad about, that a 19 year old acting like she's only a day over 10. What was this world coming to...Only God knew and he wasn't going to tell...

Kyou's expression was priceless, still sort of dumbfounded as he watched the girl lunge at him just to give him a kiss on the cheek. Naturally being the romantically inept boy he was, he blushed faintly and stared with wide eyes. Confusion smothered his expression as he watched her then proceed to hop around like a jack rabbit. Even speaking was faster then he could truly catch. It took him a moment to get accustomed to the change.

"Uhmm Thanks?" A bit baffled he rubbed his cheek, wondering what this girl was. As he shook his head and managed a shaky smile. "And sure, I don't mind being friends." It made him feel good to have friends and the girl was nice, kinda cute too, but mostly nice. Usually Kyou was uncomfortable around women but this one acted kind of like a little sister so it made it easier.

A puppy is something that is cuddly and cute and hug-able, but do you really want to hug this puppy? A puppies who's hair had fallen from it's body and whos teeth were long enough to rip the soul from ones body? Of course not, that is why Noctis decide to create something so fucked up. This was indeed an infected animal whom had fallen victim to the zero tailed.

Saze looked at the puppy and yelled.

"PUPPY!!!!"

She ran towards it and started to hug it. She started to pet it and even pat it. The girl attempted to kiss it by letting it lick her mouth. From there, she attempted to also play with it, even though it was ugly, she still loved pupys...

A look of disgust sat on Kyou's face as he saw the puppy. Though it seemed to be the most strange thing he'd seen the day, he couldn't help but gag slightly at the site. the thing looked barely alive, pieces of fur missing and skin seeming to be manged in areas. "Uhmm Saze that thing.. doesn't look healthy.." Before he could stop her, the girl was practically making out with the dog. Well kissing it and letting it kiss her. His bird let off a soft sort of hissing sound. Kyou gave it a weird look before it flew off into the distance. Frowning, Kyou stepped back. "Uhmm Saze, that thing could have diseases.. leave it alone.."
