War of the Foxes: Check ooc before joining.

[hybirdx]

(Kai)

Kai ran down the street periodicly looking behind him to see if they were still chasing him. "This is just perfect for my 18'th birthday!" With out any hesitation, he shot to the left into a ally, and dove right into an large trash can. Kai then grabed the lids and closed them, and covered his mouth from the putrid smell with the clean part of his denim jacket.

"I saw him going this way!"

"He must be up ahead, we better hurry before he escapes!"

'Who are these guys? And what in the hell do they want with me?!' Kai waited for a few minutes, then pulled himself out of the trash can. He looked around a bit a and sighed in relife. "Phew! that was a little too close for confort! I better get the hell out of here before they come back."

Kai walked backwards for a bit, making sure they wern't comming, then turned and ran out of the ally.

 

[hybirdx]

Kenji Raijun

While Kai ran down the street, somebody on aa roof-top watched him intently. 'It has began...' Kenji turned around and began to walk away, but stopped in his tracks. "What do you want," he asked in a slightly annoyed tone. two people with dark blue hair walked out, both dressed in matching black clothing.

"We came to take you back to the village Master Raijun."

Raijun sighed. 'This again?' He turned around and looked at the two. 'They're Gaurdians... The elders really pulled out the stops this time.' He squinted his eyes and gave them an direct answere to their request. "I'm not going back."

"But sir. Th- ah," one of the gaurdians started, but stoped at Kenji's dark glare in his eyes.

"What my 'companion is trying to say is, the counsle has asked for us to bring you back unharmed, so if you will kindl-"

"Your 'companion'," Kenji stoped and grunted at that, seeing that the more foolish of the two was an complete shame to the Raijin, "is obviously alot smarter than you take him for. I'll be direct and to the point, again." Kenji taken a few steps torwards the dumber of the two and spoke slowly,. mocking his stupidity. "I, AM, Noooot, Goooooooing, WITH, YOU." Kenji smirked at the foolish fox, who was balling up his fist in anger. "Got it?"

The smart Raijin nodded and grabed his partner's arm. "Y-yes, we understand. We should be leav-" Without any hesitation, the bigger and dumber of the two connected his fist into his partners jam, knocking his partner down. He then taken a few relentlesss swings at Kenji, all missing.

"Dumb... FUCK!" Kenji made one full and fast 360, lifting his foot half-way, and letting it slam into the gaurdian's muscled neck, knocking him out instantly. "Moronic whelp..." 'What am I saying?! He's older than I am!' Kenji shook his head and walked over to the other gaurdian, who was sitting up, wiping the blood off of his faceKenji hovered over him and held out his hand. "You okay?" The gaurdian nodded and taken Kenji's hand, letting the the electric fox help lift him up.

"I apologise for my companions actions."

"Meh, no worrys. I'm just wondering why you are partnered up with him, especialy seeing that you're much stronger than him."

The younger gaurdian alomost gasped at this remark. "Yo-you know?"

"Of course." Kenji sighed and smiled. "Now, on to buisness. Tell the Councle, and the Elders that I'm not comming back until I feel like it." Kenji turned around and walked backn to the building's edge, noticing that Kai disapered. 'SHIT! He's gone! That big lug made me lose him!' Kenji gave a inaudible groan and just erased his anger completely.

The younger gaurdian picked up his unconsious companion, and looked at Kenji. "Is... There anything else I can do for you Master Raijun?"

Kenji turned his head, lucky for him, the tall buidings, and the darkness hiden his slight shock. 'He has to be at least two years older than me, and he speaks to me with respect!' Kenji only wanted to be respected when he earned it, so this was annoying, very, annoying, but her bared with it.

"Yeah, inform my sister, that I'm still alive. And please tell it to her personally."

"Yes sir!"

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Thunder and Lightning
Thunder sighed and put down his book as the door opened.
"how many times,Dear sister,must I deal with you,especially like you are now?"He admonished quietly as the slender Lightning tottered into the room,hair and clothes toussled,looking a bit dazed,probably entering that stage where sobriety returns slwoly,with aching results.
"Hehe brother,it was great!there was this Huge party on one of the college campus's,and all those young college boys..and the girls!"She actually giggled before gripping her head,ooo;ing in pain as Thunder sighed and helped her to a seat,then bringing her some tea."ooo i must have had too much again"she groaned,eyes closing adn pulling a throw pillow ove rher head to block out the light.
"Well sister,if you didnt get drunk,find as many bed partners as someone as drunk as you get can find(though soemhow it always manages to be quite alot*sigh*),then limp back adn expect me to care for you"He sighed,annoyance making his back stiffen.
"ohh....someone sounds jeealousss!"Lightning giggled,then gripped her head in pain."come with me next time brother,i know this cute girl whose Perfect for you,she never has Any fun,only workworkwork! and then sitting at home and Reading!humph.."She murmered,quickly slipping into a low doze,sprawled across the chair as he sighed and settlede her wiht a blanket and a bettwer pillow,then kissed her forehead,making her mumble sleepily and curl up like a small child.But then who woudl take care of you sister?who else is there besides me? .He thoguht to himself and slipped away,letting his siter rest.

 

[hybirdx]

Kai slowed down and began to calmly walk. "And I thought that citys in America were bad. Kind of makes me regret moving with my brother to New Kyoto..." Kai laughed. "What Am I saying, whereever my brother goes, trouble follows!"

***(5 Months ago)***

"Hey Gunther."

"What."

"How do you know this city so well? Its like you used to live here."

"We did."

"We?"

"Yup, this is where we were born. And nothing has changed to much, so I can navigate it easily."

"Gee, So there are some brain cells in there."

"Funny, very funny."

***(Present)***

"Ha! Maybe my brother is smarter than he acts!" Kai stopped and thought about it, while waiting for the walk like to change. "M... Nah!"

 

[hybirdx]

Gunther sat on the sofa and tapped his fingures impatiently on the leather arm rest. He was worried, about Kai, the same Kai he called his little brother, ironicly the same brother he used to try and choke to death (Fake choke to death, acutualy, but tell that to the victim) when they were little. 'Where is he?' Gunther stood up and began to.

'Today is his off day... So he usauly go's out with his buddies... (I'm still trying to figure out why he has at least four girls as his friends, and not one is his girl friend.) But he should be home by now,' Gunther looked at his watched, and sighed. 'And I'm usauly out getting drunk and fighting some one right now... So why aren't I doing it now? Oh yeah, its Kai's birthday.'

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

"Welcome to Rinson's Market's new New Kyoto branch! Established in 1907, we provide a wide assortment of inexpensive imported goods and fine Japanese products! Please continue to honor us with your patronage. We value you as a person just as we value you as a customer, and if there is anything you need, please see me, Rinna Rinson!"

Rinna's image disappeared from the television screen as the tape moved on to cycle on to various boring facts about Rinson's Market and its fanciful supposed past in America. The same girl cast a tired eye up to the back of the TV, looking to where it faced the doorway, showering all who entered with her radiance.

It had only been a month here in Japan, and she was already getting tired of that damn voice.

Her own friggin' voice.

"Yun, I'm boooored!" Rinna complained quietly as the last customer left the queue in her line, her peculiar nose lending a very cute high-pitched tone to her whining. The tanned brunette next to her didn't even look up; she had been methodically packing items into paper shopping bags all day, and somehow didn't look as though she'd mind doing it for the rest of her life. "Is it Friday night yet?"

"Well, it's Friday," Yun replied, calmly turning to look at the door for any new approaching customers. Though her voice remained distinctly feminine, it was far deeper than Rinna's. Alto rather than soprano.

"You said you'd go with me to that dance at New Kyoto Community College yesterday! And then you didn't!" Rinna pouted adorably, placing her hands on her hips and striking a pose, her uniform's blouse and skirt shifting around her hands. She knew that it had a strong effect on most of the Japanese salarymen -- which was gross -- but, as usual, it didn't faze her friend. Yun just turned, a mild expression on her face, to watch the American girl unblinkingly. Still, Rinna forged onward. "Well, we're going to find an excuse to party tonight! Alright?"

Yun smiled warmly, and Rinna only barely avoided a sigh of relief. "Sure," her kitsune friend responded. "We'll have a blast."

"Good! You're too dour!" The short girl puffed out her cheeks exasperatedly. "Got to get you laid!"

"I'll pass," her taller tanned friend said, her voice as calm as ever. Rinna almost snapped her fingers in frustration; sometimes Yun could be riled or shaken, but only rarely. It was a bit of a game to see if her werefox friend would ever blush or get angry -- but at least she knew how to have fun when the time was right. Checking to make sure there was nobody else within earshot with a calm, sweeping gaze, Yun turned back to Rinna and quirked her mouth down reprovingly. "Anyway, I told you. I had to visit the village last night. I'm still trying to find the location of some other kitsunes my age here in New Kyoto. Since I'm from farther south, the Raijin village here doesn't necessarily want to trust me with that sort of possibly dangerous intelligence. I can understand their reluctance to a degree, but I really don't want to be troubled to go all the way home to get a letter from my Elder."

"Hai, hai, hai," Rinna said, waving her petite hands dismissively, as though talk of the Raijin Clan of Kitsunes was old hat. Then she pouted again. "Anyway, why do you need other friends when you have ME?"

Yun sighed.

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Thunder and Lightning
Outside a large warehouse,an open invitation party was in full swing.Lights shimmered and dazzled out of high placed windows and the Thump Thump of the music's Bass could be heard around the dark streets.
The two siblings entered through the doors to find it already in full swing.A square around the inside was lowered,containing most of the buildings floor space but for 5 feet extending to the walls on every side.Strobe lights and dizzying lighting and smoke effects filled the air,changing disorientingly.A mob of dancers were already on the floor,dancing as the entrancing beat of the DJ echoed and Boomed through the building,its foundations shaking with each thump from the Gigantic stereos placed in a circle in the roof and on the floors.The Dancers writhed and swirled and spun in a shifting pattern of bodies,sweat,heat,movement,controlled by the music and the movements of all around them in a hypnotic beat.
The DJ stood on a throne of equipment,eyes half closed,focused completly on what she was doing,turning and nudging the tide and swell of the crowd with her music.
Thunder and Lightning stepped up just to the edge,thunder reluctantly,Lightning with the glint of a predator in her eyes.
Thunder was disgruntled,being a solitary and quiet creature by nature,the noise and press of bodies almost disgusted him as he was practically dragged."Why did I let you talk me into this again,Dear sister?"He almost whined,sighing and acting the dramatic.His sister of course,only answered him as her hungry eyes darted from person to person.

"Why?because your always at home and your always so dreadfully Boring ,and I can never bring any of my...."friends" home or you complain."She replied simply."plus I want to see you get laid brother,your to uptight,you need someone to relax you."
Thunder stiffened at that."Well sorry if I'm not as open as you dear sister.and how many will you bed with tonight sister?It's a suprise you dont walk bowlegged,what with how many times you spread your legs"this last a mutter,and earned him a small punch in the stomach from his sister."at least i Have someone to sleep with brother"She shot back reproachfully,which only earned her a grunt in reply.
Lightning onlym laughed and looked over the crowd hungrily again."hmmm who do choose who do choose?"she asked herself.
"Why sister!I'm shocked"he muttered."I'm suprised you dont know,I'd guess you knew the whole party,I mean theres only so many people in a city,you must know who to choose first"He laughed as she hit him again.
"well Dear Brother,you know as well as I do I'm like my name,no one knows exactly where ill strike next,except that i dont strike the same place twice....well,as long as its not that good"she murmered the last part as her brother sighed largely. She flashed him a smile and dove into the dancing crowd.
Thunder shook his head in mock embarresment and shrugged,heading over to a table filled with food and drink,determined to show his sister that He did not need such frivoulous behavior on his part.

 

[hybirdx]

"Bastard!" Through the dark allys, Kai flew into a set of metal trash cans, crunching upon the intense impact. The whelp groaned in pain before attempting to stand up, but was lifted by two people in pitch black clothing. "Damn Ho! If it wasn' for they bos, we'of killed ya bise now!"

"You must be the dropout of the two," Kai muttered in pain. This only caused him more pain as the large person with the speach impediment fliped him upside down and punched him in the gut. The large one kept his fist there, holding the outwinded Kai. "Fuckin' little bitch!"

"Can't even say fucking correct I see... Well let me spell it out for ya F-U-C-K, Y-O-Ooooooooooooooooooooargh!" Now not only did Kai felt the fist dig even deeper into most likely already bruised ribs, but he also felt some trying to crush the male's prize posession. This and the blood rushing to his made him want to vomit and pass out. The pressure on kai's reproductive organs was released, and a shadowy figure knelt just enough for her to look at Kai eye to eye.

"My, my, my. An Ho fox with a attitude. This is an rare treat..."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kai finnaly goten a good look at one of the two attackers. In all honesty, the woman did not look like an thug, nor an street jumper. From what he could see with his blured vision, she was in a mid-late 20's. She wore an black, leather jacket buttened up with black leather jeans. her hair was long black, and had a few blue streaks. She looked like an up-and-comming super model in regular clothing.

"Now I'll ask you nicely whelp... Are you going to come with me without any strugle, or will I have to drag you back, bruised and beaten."

Kai looked at her dead in the eye, showing sign of fear, he just blinked ane replied. "Bite me."

The thug laughed and leaned in closer. 'Attitude... I like that' "That is your mistake..." She leaned up and bit and kissed Kai on the lips. Kai felt an horrible burn on his lips, as they were on fire before she pulled back and the fist holding him up released him. The woman stood up and walk over to the other wall. She leaned on it and looked at her companion. "Do what you want, just do hurt him too much..."

Kai's legs contiued to be proped up by the wall, while the rest of his body laid flat on the ground. He was in too much pain from the beating. The large man grinned and cracked his fist, his eyes glowing in demonic delight. "With pleasure..." Kai shivered, his ees setteled on the man until he saw an odd shadow with glowing blue eyes came up behind him. Initialy, he thought it was Death himself, well, until he saw the shadow rap his arms around the mans throat, and snapped it in and out of place. The large man droped to the ground, seemingly dead.

Kai couldn't help but look up at the his would-be savior, features hiden in front of the full-moon. "You know, this would be something your brother would get in, not you."

"Kenji... Thanks alot..." Kai gave an weak smile as Kenji leaned down, and lifted Kai by his right arm. "Gnngh."

"Easy buddy."

"I'm okay, just sore." Kenji placed his friends arm over his shoulders, he looked at Kai's face checking over the bruises, he instantly noticed a small trace of purple lipstick.

"She didn't kiss you did she?"

"Y-yeah..."

"Fuck...!" With his free arm, Kenji ripped off a piece of his shirt, taken off the capp of his water bottle, placed the cloth into the bottle a sqeezed it enough to soak it. he then pulled it out and handed it to Kai. "Here, clean it off, quick! She kissed you with poison, it makes you pass out. Try not to inhale when your cleaning it."

As Kai cleaned off the poison, Keni carried him out of the ally. "They're unconsious right now. But when they wake up, they'll be calling more of their freinds, we have to find somewhere to hide!"

"Hey... You hear that?"

Kenji looked at Kai, "Hear wha'?"

"Music... I hear music... That way... It's probaly a big party, we can hide there."

"Sharp think Inferno... Sharp thinking. Lets go." Kenji contiued to help drag his friend to the party, in hopes to hide, and probaly help Kai celebrate his other wise bull-shit 18'th birthday.

 

[hybirdx]

"Lady Stratus?"

"Come in."

The same young man Kenji turned down lightly, entered the room and bowed. Instantly he noticed that Elain, or Lady Stratus, as every bodie called her, sat on a large, soft chair, her arm resting on the arm-rest, and her bored head resting on the palm of her hand. Without even noticing, he bowed and spoke with respect. "My lady, I have a message from your brother."

"Oh?" Elain lifted her head now with the look of interest in her eyes. "And what did my dear brother say?"

"He said not to woory, that he is alive."

Elain gave a long, tired sigh. In truth, she was extreamly worried about him, yet she would never admit it, unless it was Kenji himself.

"I see that you're relifed miss..." The gaurdian noticed Elain's eyes sharpen greatly at that. "Er... That is... I apologise..."

'Hmmm.... I see my brother has picked a gaurdian with srong senses... And somewhat able to speak his mind. He does have an knack for giving me entertainment.' "That'll be all for now." The gaurdian fearfully bowed, and left the room with haste. "Oh dear, I never caught that mans name..." Elain sighed and placed her head on her hand once again.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

"Paaaaaartaaaaay! Wooooooooo!"

Rinna thrust her fists into the air and screamed, and Yun just smiled.

As soon as their shift had ended, Rinna had dragged Yun back to their apartment and immediately began the lengthy procedure of denying every outfit the older brunette came up with and inevitably forcing her to wear some of Rinna's clothing, because it 'looked better on her' -- which was to say that because Rinna was so much shorter than Yun, the clothes were that much tighter, and so therefore it was more attractive. Rinna had complete faith in this female formula. Yun wasn't so sure. But that never seemed to matter when it was Party Time.

Practically speaking, this all meant that Rinna was dressed in a pale lavender miniskirt with a small, midriff baring baby blue and purple blouse (surprisingly enough, the colors all seemed to go well with her hair, and plus lent her an extra cuteness bonus); and Yun was dressed in a black tank-top with silver Celtic crosses on the front and back, and a pair of olive green short shorts (she had already given up trying to pull the tank-top's bottom over her belly button, and though the shorts fit well enough around her hips, her legs were too long to let the shorts cover the amount of skin they were meant to). Rinna's hair came in raven ringlets down to her shoulder blades, which she promptly began to shake all over the place as soon as she began dancing, and Yun's long hair, which normally traveled all the way down her back, was coiled up in Chinese pigtails (just goes to show you can take the girl out of a kung fu world but you can never take the kung fu out of a girl), which still made their way down to her shoulder blades while managing to cover her small fox ears.

While Rinna flit throughout the crowd, searching for people she recognized or people cute enough to dance with, Yun gracefully flowed her way through the dancers, twisting and moving in a sort of living dance of her own, until she finally made her way to the bowl of punch. The Asian beauty poured herself a cup, sniffed once, looked satisfied, and took a ladylike sip before turning her head with a pleased smile to see where Rinna was--

--and feeling a familiar warmth flash into existance for a split second as she looked into a young man's eyes from across the table of food and drink. The warmth of her ki, telling her something. A sense of recognition.

That young man was also a kitsune.

Seeing that he didn't look particularly comfortable for some reason, Yun smiled and walked over to him calmly, her gaze never leaving his eyes for a moment though she seemed to easily pick her way through the people and accumulating debris. Though her eyes were warm and smile genuinely friendly and nonthreatening, there was an unshakable confidence in her stature that, combined with her natural grace, gave her a certain palpable feminine mystique. She put her hand on the supposed-kitsune-boy's shoulder and looked up at him.

"Wanna dance?"

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Dan/Rapier

Inside a simple,suburbian home the sound of a handgun being fired echoed cruelly in the night air.
There was a scream as the hooded figure turned,a gun held loosely in one hand,the barrel still smoking as he stands above a large,dead fox's body.A woman with fox ears huddled with two children,sobbing and screaming.
It was always the same.They were so....human .....No!,he must not think ike that,it was all an illusion.

Or at least that was what he told himself.

He turned towards the three,body moving like a puppet on its strings,face masked by the darkness of his hood,his tall body filling the room,looming over the kistune woman and her children as the dead body pooled blood into the carpet.

The gun raised again.His mind shut out the horrible screams as he shot.shot again.shot again and again and again.

He pulled a matchbox from his pocket and lit a match,dropping it into a box filled with childrens drawings,the crayon and paper piles going up like a torch as he kicks it against a wall,the flames starting to spread quickly as he turned away from the bodies.

A cigarrete was raised to shadowed lips and another match lit up his face for a moment before dieing,smoke curling away with a cough.

It was always the same.Always always always.

He gave a grunt and walked out the door as the house started to truly catch fire,curling the trenchcoat tighter around him.

He reminded himself that they were only monsters,nothing but animals with no hint of compassion or love,that the screams were fake,the tears were fake...the blood......

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Thunder and Lightning

Thunder sighed,sipping from his own glass before placing it on the table.his muscles twitched a bit,and if he had been in ears or tail at the moment they would have twitched and tilted towards...whatever that warm shiver was.He turned and looked sharply and his eyes widened for a moment as the lovely creature stepped closer.hmm another? he thought to himself with a mental smile.

He felt a slow smile flit across his lips as he watched the female kistune slide through the crowd as if it were made of nothing more then smoke. His last thought before the woman stepped up to him was that maybe his sister wasnt always wrong about these parties,though he would never admit it.

He casually lounged back a bit,his body slanted just so,seeming both lazy and alert somehow,his lips pulling into another smile,this one a little shy,but it was alluring because of that hint of shyness.He met the warmth of her smile and eyes with his own and gently took her hand as it was placed on his shoulder,gently kissing the fingers before sliding his own around hers.

"would love to"

he stated simply,grinning warmly now as he stood straighter as they headed closer to the dancing stage.

Meanwhile Lightning watched the whole interlude wiht a grin."FIN-A-Ly!"she almost shouted out,chuckling and knowing that he may not be reading alone at home Tonight.She giggled helplessly at the thought of her stuffy brother before slipping back into the dance,her tail and ears poking out of her clothes and hair,looking as if she ws wearing it like a costume as she bumped and slid and danced her way around,never staying anywhere for long.

As the dance changed she found herself squeezed togethor in a thick knot of dancers,particularly close to a cute raven haired girl in blues and purples.She smiled rogueshly at the girl and was almost..but not too suprised at the open,returned grin.
"Hey!,whats up?Havin fun Par-ty-Ing!"she yelled over the music as she moved fluidly from beat to beat as the song changed.

 

[hybirdx]

Kenji sat Kai down on a chair and grabed a couple of drinks, without any sort of hesitation, he handed one to Kai. "You okay now?"

"Yeah, thanks alot Kenji." Kai taken the drink and downed it in one gulp. Kenji watched in slight amazement then smirked. "What?"

"I just remembered its your birthday, your 18'th no less."

Kai's eyes sharpened very quickly, he really didn't like the smirk Kenji had on his face. "Yeah? So?" Kai, not very willing to here what Kenji said, got up and headed for another drink. He filled to the top and started to drink. Hoping Kenji had forgot what he was going to say.

No such luck. "When was the last time you had an girlfriend, Kai-chan?"

This made Kai sputter and cough. As soon as he regained controll of himself, he snapped at Kenji. "Oh no! No way Kenji! You are so not thinking what I think you're thinking!"

"What, trying to find you a girlfriend, yeah, of course!"

Kai sighed in vain. "Listen Kenji! I already told ya, there is no way, no how I can have a girlfriend. My job at the auto customization shop... My brother, and my training? I don't have time. Thats why my last girlfriend dumped me."

"Kai-chan, that was what, 7-8 years ago? You didn't have a job back then, and your brother, well thats your brother. C-mon man, when have I let you down?!"

Kai grunted. It was extreamly hard for him to find a incident where Kenji let him down. But still, the idea of him having a girl friend bothered him. "Welllll... Hey wait, why don't YOU have a girlfriend?!"

Kenji raised his head in thought. "Well... Thats because..." Kenji flashed Kai a sharp grin. "I'm a night person... And that mea-"

"Forget I asked!"

Kenji laughed 'Phew! That was close!' Kenji looked around the party. 'Wow! Alot of beautiful women in here tonight!'

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

So he knows who I am, too. But I suppose anyone who's willing to live amongst humans has to have at least a moderate level of spiritual power.

Yun smiled softly at Thunder, her lips parting slightly to show perfect, pearly-white teeth; and though her smile was refreshing, the hint of smoky mystery never left her eyes, as though she could be judging him at any moment, or making him want to think she was judging him, or maybe she just wasn't paying attention, or... maybe it was just the way she always looked.

Hah... that smile is so cute.

But she burst into merry chuckles and her warm eyes lit up yet more -- it seemed this was a girl who didn't really giggle -- when he kissed her hand. "Adorable," she said, winking once at him and then laughing again before gently weaving him through the crowd, closer to the sound of the base. She began to dance. Her grace, naturally, was startling, and her movements completely fluid, but perhaps even most surprising was her complete lack of self-consciousness. Her eyes were half-closed, but she never seemed to bump against anyone, and every movement, every shift of her hips, every twist of her torso, seemed completely natural and spontaneous. It was like Bruce Lee had entered a mosh pit. Yun stayed very close to Thunder the entire time, but only brushed up against him occasionally, and always in very innocent ways -- hip to hip, or her back against his chest. After almost half a minute had passed, though, she turned, leaned close as she danced, and spoke just loud enough for him to hear, her breath warm on his ear:

"I am Yun of the Soft Step. What are you called?"

Meanwhile, Rinna was dancing in a very different but no less attractive manner; that is to say, bumping against everyone and bursting into giggles almost every few seconds, and shrieking in joy when she wasn't giggling. When Lightning approached, Rinna's eyes widened and moved close to dance next to her, rubbing up against the other girl by mistake as she leaned in to look at her ears. "Ohmigod! Those ears! That tail! So incredibly cute! Ohmigod AWESOME!" The short, shapely girl laughed loudly and, tossing her hair, spun in a circle. "You bet I'm having fun! I'm always having fun! I hope my roomie is doing-- ohmigod! Would you look at that!" The American pointed vigorously at Yun, her big eyes widening yet more. "She's got a guy! A cute guy! Sheesh! Unbelievable! Usually she just dances by herself the entire time -- or doesn't notice the guys trying to dance around her."

 

[hybirdx]

After only a few minute, Kenji eventualy suckered Kai into dancing with a girl eh knew from their school. He watched in slight amazment on how the shy Inferno was able to dance so gracfully, with having the most nervous look on his face. Either that or the poison was still bothering him. "Sometimes I just don't get him!"

Kenji, now with free time, looked around, and at the same time, sniffed the air, just for safety. "Huh... They're not even close! So why do I smell Raijin and Kage?" Kenji smirked and laughed at himself. "I'm such an idiot, why should we care if there is an war going on? For tonight, I just wanna relax!"

Kenji stood up from his chair and scanned the room. "I wonder if the party starters paid off the police? this is definetly breaking some rules..." Kenji smirked at that thought, "my kind of party!"

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Lightning
Lightning giggles and gripped the girl close."you wanna know a secret?"she whispered with a slight mysterious giggle."that guy you just called cute is my brother,and he's so Boring all the time,and he's the same way!"she breaks into a laugh,staying with her new friend through a short burst of unusually loud music.She slipped with ears between two men and ended up next to her friend again,tail and ears flopping around a bit as she move just enough to be adorably cute.

Thunder
Thunder felt the small smile on his lips grow more and more until he practically beamed at the graceful kitsune in front of him.He had to admit,she was a good dancer,and she seemed to have an innocent yet at the same time knowing air about her,as if each movement was absolutely planned and she was judging his reactions.
He grinned mentally as his body moved in an exact rythym to hers,though we a Very subtle but noticeable to a trained eye,his boyd following a set pattern that locke dinto hers yet never touched,staying mostly parralel the whole time,though he seemed to be more edged in hsi movements,more sharpa nd defined instead of fluid and alluring as hers are,though by no means worse as he felt himself relax a bit.He really was enjoying this,despite the grumbling he had given his sister.Maybe She was right,maybe He Did need to have some more fun at times.

His breath caught for a moment as she suddenly wasThere ,her hot breath spreading over his ear.For a moment the tips of fox ears poked out of his straight hair,then receded as his control slipped back.He turned them fluidly,dipping her a bit in a complicated but beautiful meanuvour which left his head close to hers as he murmered back.

"My name is Thunder of the Storm Siblings, a pleasure i am sure."

He chuckled a bit before lifting them both slowly back into the dance.

 

[hybirdx]

(Kenji)

Kenji continued to sit and watch the others dance with blind bliss. It was ironic to him, humans kill each other due to race, religon, turf, etc, etc. But all in all, the higher in power, the more they want to fight. But then there are these... lost souls that can care less about power, and if it didn't keep them alive, money. If it was because the music, or because they just wanted to escape the harsh reality of their family's life styles, either way, they were just lost trying to forget their horrible troubles, or just satisfying their perverted needs.

this made him only further wonder why his kind fought so hard. With the original elders dead, nobody knows why they fight so hard. ts the main reason the Rajin became neutrals, and why Kenji was running away from his dutys. The Raijin shook his head and looked somewhat surprized when Kai sat by him. "How'd it go bro?"

"She was just dancing with me just to pass the time, as soon as she saw her boyfriend, she bailed on me."

"You're lying" Kenji looked at Kai, he haqd an unfazed look in his eyes. "Aren't you lying." Kai look at him and oh so inocently smiled. "You're not lying."

"Told ya it was a bad idea."

"Ha!" Kenji sighed and continued to look around, but stoped instantly when he saw a few familiar 'friends'... "Yo Kai-chan... Look who's here."


Kai, who now had a stolen sandwhich in his mout, nodded a bit to the side and looked at Kenji. "Who?"

Kenji gave Kai an shocked look, "I thought you were the goodie-goodie of the brothers?"

"Just tell me!" Kai replied in an annoyed tone.

"Look over there." Kenji pointed over to the door way, there stood at least six guys not older than they were, wearing blue and green clothing. All had an large green skull on their backs which had blue lightning flowing though the eye sockets.

"I'll be damned, the crushers are here..."

"Wanna have some fun Kai-chan?"

Kai laughed. "what fun will it be if we jumped them, its only fun when they try to jump us."

"You're right."

"But if they start thei, 'lets forcefully get laid tonight' shit, I'll be more than happie to start trouble." Kai muttered, clenching and uncleanching his fist.

"Always the noble knight, eh Kai-chan?"

"Heh!"

Yun couldn't help it -- she was a bit startled when she felt the young man's arms encircle her as she was dipped low, but she recovered quickly as she heard him speak. Once he lifted her straight, she stayed close to him, reaching up with one arm to gently place her hand on his shoulder as she continued to dance around him, occasionally even circling him, but never removing her hand, and never straying far. "Yes, it is a pleasure," she murmured honestly, though there was a hint of amusement in her voice. After a few more moments, she slipped behind him and then pressed close, her other arm lightly encircling his waist and her chin leaning against his other shoulder. Her soft hair, emanating a gentle scent of lavender, brushed against his cheek. "Thunder of the Storm Siblings... indeed, you are Raijin, as am I... how fortuitous!"

Well, her dancing was interesting; her rather enigmatic personality and formal mode of speech was interesting; and her scent was interesting -- but the press of her slender body against his back did, unfortunately, provide a distraction. And Yun was a bit distracted herself, though not in the same manner as Thunder might be; she was excited (or at least, as excited as she ever got) about the prospect of finally having a kitsune friend. Which was why she didn't notice Rinna getting in trouble.

The pretty American girl reached out and stroked Lightning's tail, laughing merrily, as the two danced around each other, weaved throughout the crowd and, of course, attracted a lot of attention. Rinna ignored the slack jaws of the boys, however cute they might be, though. This new girl was way cool.

"That guy is your brother!? Wait, no! I can see the resemblance now. That's so cool! You have such a handsome brother! Gee, maybe he is like Yun. It's not that she doesn't realize she's so pretty -- she just is all about 'having perspective' and 'someone needs to be the responsible one'. You know what I mean?" Her shouting done for the moments, the girl turned back to her friend -- and Rinna practically jumped out of her clothes when she saw how Yun was dancing with Thunder. She immediately lunged close to Lightning and squeezed the other girl's shoulders excitedly. "OhmiGOD! Do you SEE that? What is she doing!? Is she kissing his neck or something!? I can't tell! I can't believe it! They better not be just talking!!"

Distracted as she was, practically dragging Lightning along with her to get a better view, Rinna noticed too late where her path was taking her, and she bumped directly into a large young man with a blue and green outfit. He seemed to have several friends with him. Startled, she looked up, and then smiled broadly. "Whoops! Sorry! Hey, sweet outfit, dude!"

(Kenji and Kai)

All of the Crushers gave an evil glare at Rinna before giving her an odd, lopsided grinn, knowing now who their target for the night was. The largest of them all draped his arm around her and smiled. "Heeeey... its no problem. Actualy, I thinks its an honor that somebody as beautiful as you bumped into me. Destiny maybe?"

The rest began to surround her making sure she couldn't make an escape. "My suite? Its my own design!"

"Yeah, and it sucks just as much as you do!" The tallest of the group taken his arm off of Rinna and stood upright. His eyes laid upon somebody in pitch black and crush orange clothing, his blue hair draped over his folded Hitae-ate then was wraped around his forehead. His plain black shirt was tucked in only on the right side. The other wore an faded black pair of jean that had purple flame designs, his jacket had the same designs but wasn't as faded. The white t-shirt remained untucked and his hitae-ate hung from his neck.

The Crusher leader raised his eyebrow and smiled demonicly. "Well well, if it isn't Kenji Raijun and Kai inferno of the Choas Eyes. When did you get here?"

"About an hour ago," Kenji replied, shoving his fist into his pant's pockets "I see you guys are up to your old tricks again!"

"What do you mean by that?!" Said one of the Crushers as he put foot on a chair near the two. "We wern't going to do anything!"

"Pish!" Kai started, "Yeah right! your motto is 'where there's a party, there's a girl to nail!' You're as low as they can get!"

The leader of the crushers now steped right in front of Kai, and softly grabed him by the throat. "You're Kai aren't you? I don't see why so manyh people are afraid of you, you look so weak and pale!" All of the other crushers laugh while Kenji taken an serious note. 'Raziel is right, Kai-chan is looking really bad right now!' Raziel pulled his large hand up a bit, pulling an unfazed Kai off the ground a few centimeters. "I wanna see why you're have such an street name!"

"Hey Kai-chan, maybe I should take care of this. I mean, you really don't look too good at the moment."

Kai smiled. "I'm cool, just get the ladie out of the battle field, 'kay?"

Kenji looked directly into his friends eyes, and saw the look in his. He was out for a hunt. "Okay Kai, but the second you need an hand, you better tell me!" Kai nodded and Kenji taken Rinna's hand, "Its not safe to be standing here right now!" He pulled Rinna far enough so if it got too rough, they would be safe.

"So its just against me and my friends huh? Raziel laughed and cracked his knuckles. And Kai stood tall, not showing any kind of fear, yet his eyes flashed as if the thought sheding blood made his body tense with anticipation. "This should be fun!"

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Lightning
Lightning bristled as her new friend was taunted,then seemingly rescued by some guy...well,Lightning wasn't much for chivalry.Shepuished nonexistant sleeves up and marched up to his shoulder and tapped it,then started stalking forward,making teh alrer man back up and bend back at the waist slwoly."who do you think you are!picking on a lady like that"She athundered and looked around at the rest of his gang."you should all be ashamed!"she scolded,it was ridiculous looking that such a short,slender young woman could be yelling at them so vehemently,of course that illusion was dispelled as one of the men tried to grab her.
"Hey who asked you?why dont you just-"THe second his hand dropped on his shoulder he was suddenly upside down on his face,the touching arm bent at an unnatural angle in her grip.
"hmmph...pitiful"she snorted and pushed the now limp arm away as another one loomed up behind her with a yell,to be knocked down by the man who had come to their rescue.She flicked her head,her hair spinning out to the side and smacking a guy approaching her from the side,and he fell back,howling as small cuts and scratches appeared on his face,her hair suddenly sporting small razor-sharp knives,which clinked back into place as she shook her head again.

Thunder
Thunder at his msot concentrated was coool,uncaring,and completly lethal.

Of course,with such a beauty pressed into his back he wasnt at his best,and to a close obserer he was horribly nervous.He kept himself composed,but if he had been sporting ears or a tail they would be quivering anxiously and shyly.(insert anime quiver blush*ooo)

He sternly steeled his mind.What was he thinking?This was obviously a woman of class,she Definatly wasn't as open as his sister would be.He sighed mentally as he danced gracefulyl with her.He had hope,but he musn't act rash,he would only inuslt her.besides,it was rare to find another like himself who wasn't so caught up in rivalry and hate,and he could not even faintly tell and trace of either emotion on her.

But her scent was intoxicating .Dammit.

Dan/Rapier
Rapier stepped itno teh party in full trenchcoat.He knew one of them would be at such a big gathering,they usually were,the family of them he had found so ercently had been at a family picnic the day before.Under the long trenchcoat rested a shotgun with extra ammo and his pistol as he looked around.Where were they.

He arrived just as the fight started...

 

[hybirdx]

Kenji swiftly moved in a clocked out a few of the thugs sneeking up on the girls. "Damn scum bags!" While the rest of the Crushers all pointed their attention to the one who seemed to be the weakest at the moment, Kai.

Big Mistake.

Raziel and his gang all lept for Kai. A few got ahead and pulled out their daggers, ready to slit his throat, yet never got close enough to make the kill. Kai pulled off his jacket and threw it at their faces, temprarily blinding them. Yet it more than enough time for Kai to rush in, and punch all of the blinded thugs in a spot in their stomaches making them all pass out. And just to add insult to injury, in one smooth motion, Kai wraped the jacket over his shoulders, as if they weren't even there. Raziel stoped in his tracks and growled.

"You think so tough! I'll tear your pale punk-ass to shreds by myself!" Raziel stampeded his way torwards Kai, smashing anybodie in front of him. He opened his arms as soon as he got close to Kai and swung them close, missing by at least .5 seconds. "Wh-where did he go?!"

Raziel felt something slightly heavy on his shoulders so he looked up, meeting fiery eyes, watching its prey. "How did you..."

"You don't need to know, You won't be living long."

"Rotten little...!!!"

Kai jumped up and made one full front flip before his leg smashed into the space between the neck and the shoulder, basicly chrushing it upon impact. Rziel screemed in sheer pain and Kai landed safely on his two feet. "Huh... Its taking longer than it should..."

"Wh-what did you do to me?!"

"Me? I just detroyed a few blood vessel as crushed a few nerves, you shoudler and its muscles must be ripping from the rest of you arm by now. You're arm will most likely be permently useless, either that or you'll die in a few days due to lack of blood to the brain... I never sticked around to see my victems suffer so long, makes me feel sorry."

Kenji dropped a thug he was pounding and sighed. 'You could have shown a little more mercy torwards him Kai-chan!'

 

[hybirdx]

Gunther walked through the streets, he was a little too worried about his brother. Not because It was his little brother out being late, probaly in the gang hot spots. But that he was out late in KITSUNE hot spots. And since Kai was now 18, he must be developing some powers, because the Kage have been acting strange lately.

Gunther brushed back his hair just before he stoped in a area in the city park. Not many came to this spot for some reason, even though it was alsot know for some of the most beatiful cherry blossums in the park. But now wasn't why Gunther stoped, he stoped because he caught a scent, actualy, more like a half dozen.

"Lovely night is it? I mean, so nice that even the foulest smelling of the Kage smell fairly nice!"

With that 6 shadow beings that wraped them selfs in the Cherry Blossums' shadows began to melt out, all looking at an unfazed Gunther. "So you found us out... If you tell us where your brother is, we'll let you go."

"if you tell us where you brother i- Aw shaddap!" Gunther replied in an cartoonish tone. "Like I'm gonna tell you shit!"

"Well, if its like that, we'll have to kill you!" All of the shadows rear back and lung at the still unfazed Ho Fox.

"Lets go..."

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Rapier

Dan sighed and watched the fight start.These monsters were animal's,even if they have clever costumes.

Out of his trenchcoat he hand swung a shotgun out,pointing it up at an angle and firing,breaking the music as glass shattered and tinkled on to some of the dancers.

"Alright Demons!Your here and now so am I,and you will all die"He shouted even as people fled from the room in droves.

 

[hybirdx]

Kai sharply turned around and Kenji released the victem he was pounding his fist into. They bothrelized that most of the people began to run, even the crushers ran like dogs with their tails between their legs.

'Alright Demons! You're here and now so am I, and you will all die!'

Kai looked at Kenji. "Demons? What the hell is this guy talking about?"

"You know what... I'm not totally sure." Kenji stood up and used his nose to do his answering. Almost instantly he caught the scent of fox blood that belonged to a friend, and her family. "HUNTER... You're an hunter!"

"A what?!"

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Dan/Rapier

"There!i see you you Monster!"
He called out,raising the shotgun to his shoulder,aiming and firing,the discarded bullet shell clinking to the ground.He pumped a new shell in with a click and fired again,
again,
again,
again,
emptying the shells stored in the shotgun.
