The Looks of an Angel






Xeseyta took off her chest plate, letting it fall to the ground and clatter loudly. She untied the string holding her kimono shirt closed.

"Why are you always getting injured every second of the day?" A calming voice said to her.

Xeseyta let out a growled sigh. "It's not me who's doing it Sevaki," She said with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "It's Nethrian... still putting me through his endless training."

"...I know..." Sevaki growled. "But you can stop the training..."
She winced touching her waist, whispering "Ouch" and looking at the blood on her hand. ignoring what Sevaki mewed. "One day I'm going to get him... No more pain..." Her hands curled into fists with determination, kicking off into the Water she made splash. The female feline squinted her eyes, letting her silky fur get wet.

"Whatever you say 'Master'. but don't you think someone might see you?" Sevaki stood up on her paws as Xeseyta laughed.
"That is why it's your job to make sure nobody does!"

She started washing the blood off herself. Sevaki frowned, lying back down and resting her head on her paws. "Always is..." Sevaki mumbled, closing her eyes to Xeseytai's tenor singing, it travelled with the soft wind, carrying her voice further than could reach.

"Nuraka... Do you think Siberians are destined forever to tear each other apart? That is all they do. And now they don't even know the reason anymore..."

"Hah!" Nuraka laughed sarcastically, "Where'd on Elruga did that come from?" He jumped off the tree, high into the air, landing softly down with one foot. "I don't think it. I know it." Nuraka said to Seffruin with his sharp cerise eyes. "Say, Seffruin this is the first time you've said anything really." He put his hand on the hilt of his sword. turning away from Seffruin. "The first words you say to your Brother in a long time, is a question......" He made a sarcastic sad sigh, just disappointed his Brother had decided to talk again. Blood fell from the bite in Seffruin's bottom-lip when he bit it in annoyance.

Nuraka tilted his head to the side, letting the tree ahead take the hit meant for his head. The rock bounced off with a loud thump, leaving a dint in the tree.

"If your gonna answer with some stu-...!" Seffruin trailed off, turning around to the Woods.

His ears turned back, making the sounds coming from the Serra Forest easier to hear.

He wondered who the subtle voice belonged to. walking away from his Brother.
Seffruin followed the wind that seemed to direct him to the voice, coming to a tree on a slope, tilting to the side to see who possessed such a beautiful voice. It was a female, an asita bathing in a lake.

Her voice began luring him in, unaware of everything around him.
The fact that he was spying on her wouldn't come to mind.

An animal lay beside the lake as the asita's voice danced around. Her small caved in waist made her figure uniquely curvaceous, she stroked her violet hair with her beautifully slender fingers, her eyes closed as she sang unaware of the eyes on her.

Her violet hair dropped over her bare breast, sticking to her smooth skin, Water dewing her eyelashes making them shimmery, dripping down from her phoenix eyes and down her body.

Seffruin stepped back on the slope, slipping down it as if it suddenly turned to mud. He hit the ground, nearly rolling right into the lake with her.
He lifted himself up a bit with his elbows, spitting out grass. He coughed, stopping at the feeling of violet-cerise eyes locked on him. He dared to look up at them, seeing the eyes peering back at him. She shook, her arms covering her chest in a clutching way.

They looked at each other, a long pause taking place with the tenor silence that broke with her squeal, splashing into the water.

Sevaki popped her head up, woken by Xeseyta's scream. "What!? What!? What is it!?" Sevaki asked her breathlessly, her fur standing to an end.
"Sevaki I told you to make sure nobody would see me!" Xeseyta screamed.
Sevaki's ears twitched, pointing outwards. "...Wha...?" The feline looked around to and fro. "...No-one is here Xeseyta."

Seffruin started panting out of surprise, looking in the direction he had escaped from. "Was that an asita ye made scream?" An old tree spoke, "Ye seem to have been runnin' lad... That'd be the first..."

Seffruin ignored the old tree with contempt, standing up.
"Ye made Xeseyta scream eh?"
"Hm?" Seffruin looked at the tree, a glare on his face. "...Furuiki... Do not read my mind..."

"Why not? The ability of a Siberian tree is to read minds... If I am not able to, what is the use of having it?"
"...Read someone else's mind. Just not mine."

"Lovely girl she is, Very kind hearted..." Furuiki croaked, changing the subject. "Well, to Nature at least... That child has gone through so much. You can't blame her for that way she is."

Seffruin said nothing of it. He walked away, his mind refusing to let go of her as a thought. He headed home, leaving Furuiki in his permanent spot. He let himself drop inside the former dragon cave on the autumn leaves, making them float up by the sudden pushed Wind.

"Where were you Master?" A beautiful white furred canine asked him, hovering over Seffruin.
"...Nowhere worth mentioning." He mumbled, putting his arm over his eyes in a sigh.

She laid down beside him with a look that she was there to listen. "You seem more distracted than usual. What is it?"

He sat up and looked at her. "Wouldn't you be Lunress? If you were stuck with a bastard for a Father?" Seffruin stood up. "I hate him... and one day I'm going to kill him."

"Master don't speak like that. He's a disturbed one, but he does care about you." Lunress attempted to keep his temper down, knowing right after she said that, it'd anger him more.

"Hah!" He laughed sarcastically. "Cares about me!? I've never heard such meaningless words. Sure he does, he expresses his love to his Son by trying to kill him!!!" He shouted, "The day I kill him is the day I can rest!" He ran outside, ignoring Lunress's call for him.

"What's wrong?" Nethrian grasped Xeseyta's hand, helping her to her feet after he slammed her on her back when she didn't get up. "You seemed distracted."

"Nothing's wrong. Shut up and fight." She spat, making a frown cross Nethrian.
Sevaki laughed. "Don't take it personal Nethy. She's mad cause a boy saw her naked." She smiled grimly.

"Oh?" Nethrian's brows went up, looking at Xeseyta.
"...Sevaki... you're Crow meat!!" Xeseyta screamed. The feline got up quickly. "Uh, oh.!" ready to dart and run until Xeseyta stumbled on the floor with blood oozing out of her stomach-wound slowly.

Nethrian sighed. "All right that's enough for today go back." He helped her up again. "And no protesting." he said before she objected, picking up her bag and handing it to her. She put the strap over her head and underneath the arm, the bag resting on her side.

"Why do you carry that thing around?" He asked kindly, in his usual calm voice.
"Because it holds important things..." She said, casting a glare at Sevaki.
Sevaki's ears went back to her skull, her long tail dragging on the ground as she walked away with her. "See you later Lord Nethrian." Sevaki mewed respectfully.

"Go safely!" was all Nethrian said in return.
"It's getting dark." Sevaki looked up, seeing the lavender Sky become dimmer as dusk approached. Xeseyta said nothing. She was looking at the ground walking slowly, lost in her own thoughts.

"Xessy..." Sevaki mewed, using a nickname she gave Xeseyta. "...Xessy!" She nipped Xeseyta in the leg, making her jolt with a small squeak.
"What is your-"

"We need to hurry home. Dusk will break soon, and when it does, those 'things' will attack us... You know they come out at dusk and attack us for no-"

Sevaki abruptly screeched, hit in the stomach rolling over, with the feeling of saliva falling on her fur. Xeseyta looked back. "Witikos!" Sevaki shouted, kicking the Witiko off her with her back paws and rolled over up on them.

They were surrounded by the drooling furless creatures. Slouching and snarling at them, long arms that reached their own feet, blood-vines stretching across their body becoming visible under their thin layer of skin. They'd twitch at the sunlight flashing in on them by the Sun lowering itself in a goodbye behind a tree. One of them scratched itself under the arm, snorting with saliva falling off of it's bloodstained teeth. Another crashing into Xeseyta, ramming her in the chest, ripping the strap of her pouch off. She hit the ground with a loud thump, screaming "No! Give it back you mutant little-" She made an attempt to get up, but only stumbled down on her knees.

"Stop it Seyta!" Sevaki growled, knowing she was severely injured from the training Nethrian had recently put her through. Xeseyta's blood started to drip all over the ground from her body, mixing in with the dirt.

The Witikos all snarled, stepping closer, thirsting for the blood that dripped off her. Sevaki growled and hissed furiously. "Stay back you disgusting mutants!" her fur went up., bristling. The Witiko holding Xeseyta's pouch darted away, snickering.

"No!" Xeseyta screamed, it sounded gurgled by the blood forming in her throat. "Sevaki chase after it!" She commanded.
"What!?" The feline screeched.
"Just do it! I mean it I'll be fine just go!"

Sevaki growled deep in her throat. "You better be!" She hissed before hesitating to dart off. She had to believe her. Whatever was in there, it was important to Xeseyta. Her paws pounded on the floor as she dashed off after the Witiko that ran, trying not to think of what will happen to Xeseyta. Another Witiko came at her, biting her arm. She screamed, and screamed again once it sank it's slimy teeth sank into her waist.

Her eyes started blurring as her blood spelt slower, leaving less blood to drop as merely any was left in her. "D...dammit..." She gritted her teeth in pain, her voice sounding a bit shaken. The Witiko let her waist go, ready to bite her in the neck next.
