[kusaji]

He’d look at her the way she moved her actions it all seemed all too familiar. The way she looked at him before her words spoken from her lips his own body stabilized as he watched her, he felt her pulse begin to race just from his proximity and extra sense. He’d tell he had her on a verge of giving into her beast. He’d try and put a stop to it there with a few simple words.

“No its not stalking Daiyu… its simply guarding you... you’re in a unfamiliar place... fear... misunderstanding.. me.. I guess I am causing the beast in you jump to much… listen first meditate and control it… and then suppress your feelings or else you’ll shift.[/b]”

he’d take a big breath and then lets his chest deflate as he looked at her again taking a breath. He’d watch her snap her teeth at him and chuckles a bit at her. The way she didn’t understand perfectly yet that he was what she was, so he spelled it perfectly out for her.

“We … me and you are lycanthropes, we caught a strain of the disease when a fox bit you, or you were at a party and another lycan bit you… your blood bonded with the chemicals in the foxes bite… caused the hair change… and I bet your eyes aren’t as normal as they seem… all lycans have subtle changes… mainly in our eyes you can easily see the beast inside them. I am guessing from your denial.. you believe this is a curse and you hate it and I am betting from your descent matching mine as Japanese you never been around other foxes … sooo my presence alone is freaking your animal out. I bet you feel hot and warm all over like your slowly fire feeling or something pacing so impatiently inside you, that’s not your body it’s your beast trying to speak to you in its own way… As far as not understanding you at all… let’s see you wake up every one time a month because the full moon and you wake naked somewhere in some random field far from home, slimey and gross feeling.. something in your skin feeling alive yet scary because you had no memory. Your senses have grown… you smell things most can’t, and you see things others can’t you feel things on the wind your alive in the wilderness. So yea I do know the feeling… and I do understand fully what you are.. but if your too far gone… atleast follow me and lets not do this here.[/b]”

Standing he’d look around crap no subways were anywhere around them, he’d click his phone and use a application to GPS the nearest subway entrance, Seeing it was about a quarter mile of the way… he’d stand up and nod to her as he hopped the fence to loom at the entrance of the back park mixed with wood type, a shortcut or at least he hoped to the subway, at least there he’d hope the feeling o the other foxes would help her control the urge to shift or if she did shift he could as well t help her through it. He’d hurry and dial Saphys number a 911 page would ring her cell hoping that she’d understand and left her GPS cords telling her basically he’d try and get to the subway. He’d wait for Daiyu however to come if she fekt it was too late.

“Cmon… if you can’t control it then come quickly… if a mundie sees you shift they will be afraid of you and that’s not good.[/b]”

His hand reached for her to take so he’d help her at least get to safety before she’d shift if it was coming on and if it wasn’t then at least they’d be around a natural surroundings of the woods and semi nature it always seemed to calm him.

Her body jerked. Head meeting the table with a resounding crack being heard as she takes a quick breathe. On her tongue she could taste his nervousness, her own anxiety flooding her senses. Her eyes shifted from left to right. Her flesh was hot, she couldn’t even focus on him. “Guarding me? GUARDING ME!” she snarled, her fingers dug into her eyes, peeling out the blue contacts she’d been wearing. Her heterchromic eyes stared at him, pain plaguing their mix matched depths. Her chest rose and fell quickly, “Look at me?!”

That of her arm swept out to the cluster of buildings beside them. “I don’t LIKE this. I don’t like wondering if I will hurt anyone just because I’m too stressed out. No one can help me. You can have the same thing as me but you can not tell me that you suffer as much as I do, Kusaji.”

All the pent up aggression she felt surged. Mundies? The normals as she called them, they would be afraid? Of course they would. What wasn’t deemed normal was often shunned and feared then executed for not meeting their criteria of the usual for their day to day lives. Humans, were so fickle when it came to threats. They feared, hated and destroyed. How oblivious were they when monsters sat next to them in class or on the bus? How would they react should the beasts that lurk within their flesh became too much to bar and were uncaged? And how would those beasts react to the expressions of those that ‘loved’ them, found out about them? Heart break. Betrayal. Animosity on both sides. Panic, fear, misunderstanding. The world could very well fall into chaos and destruction.

His hand came out towards her and she bore her teeth at him. Reason was lost. The change was going to happen. His hand was taken slowly, shakingly while her other hand grabbed up her shoulder bag. The flee instinct was strong as she leapt the same fence he had and broke into a sprint. Strong legs pushed her forward as she ran with the male. Get away. She had to just get away. She didn’t even want him to be there but there was little chance of him just leaving her alone it seemed. A string of obscenities fell from her lips as a tremor racked her body. Knees buckling, her hands shot out to stop her body from hitting the ground too hard. Her eyes shut tight, vision blurring. In her mind she could see it. A fox breaking into a sprint, running through a forest alone, carefree. The trees whipped by the creature as it zig-zagged and dipped under some underbrush. No. Her eyes shot open and she screamed painfully. “Help ME!!”

Saphyre was at work she was on the cat walk above the stage the house was being entertain by one of the in between acts they made money but it was very similar to regular strip clubs at these moments. She was being lowered from the rafters she was wrapped inside of the silken fabric that was her ropes. She had gathered the excess in her hands and as she was lowered she let is slide from her hands.

She was hidden from view of the humans by the white silk fabric. Solid but with her being back lit her shadow could be seen within the folds of the fabric. She began moving in long slow grace filled movements that moved the silk with her. Unfolding her form piece by piece.

She hung suspended by the fabric. During this she was only able to wear a set that had been made to match her flesh tone exact. It was to give the illusion that the fabric was her clothing. For this one she was in her human form. A delicate white mask was affixed to her face. Masking her identity. She had no worries when she was in her fox form but she desperately did not have the desire to deal with any whom would think she was a victim.

She moved using the folds of fabric and the mask she wore to insight the allure and grace the dignity. Revealing all but nothing at all. Every movement carefully calculated in how the silk moved and how it covered her. She traveled up and down the fabric with only a tantalizing allure of what was there beneath the silk as it moved over her form.

He act never took very long. She moved back up the silk becoming enfolded once again and protected from view the spot light once again back lighting her as she was raised back into the darkness above the stage that seemed to be out of the reach of the light.

The light was switched off as one of the riggers pulled her to the catwalks. She unfolded easily out of the silk ribbons. She smiled and accepted a bottle of water as she headed back to the dressing rooms. She tugged the mask off her face with a slight wince. She’d had to start gluing them into place for these shows.

She sat down at her corner of the table purse against the mirror she started to remove the glue spots from her face. Cotton ball and baby oil. Before she could get beyond one of the spots she noticed her phone chirp a soft singular beep.

She wasn’t expecting to hear from anyone they all knew she was at work she took it out catching the 911 from Kusa she muttered a few choice words under her breath as she dressed rapidly and grabbed her purse. She normally got to take a shower before leaving.

She took off rushing through to the other building and leaving quickly she put her phone to her ear calling the manager. As soon as he picked up .”Look I am sorry to do this but I have an emergency my new one just sent a 911 and saying he was headed our territories for the moon. I have to go help him. “ She nodded a couple of times. “I’ll pick up an extra shift to cover this call Rinda she can take my place use the hoop shes been learning that one.”

She disconnected the line and bolted into the nearest subway entrance taking it down into the way she knew she ran as hard and fast as she could to the okace where Kusa said he was going.

He watched her, every movement from her body and even the resounding thud of her head hitting the table below her. He’d wince at the action slightly feeling sorry for her poor head. His body calmly breathed as he felt his beast leap against him as if wanting to protect her. He knew her demise and knew what she was fighting. His body tensed some as she snapped at him, her words like venom. The watching as she tore out her contacts shown her eye color to him as he believed it indeed would show, her fox wildly in them.

“Yes, guarding you from hurting yourself, and as far as looking at you I just see this beautiful girl fighting herself and alone in the world… I don’t see anything else.[/b]”

His breath stilled as he watched her body flail moving her arm towards the building and he shook his head in sorrow for her and for her beast. He now knew she indeed believed she was cursed, he’d show her different, he knew how she felt, he felt the same when he was first bitten and then his first change, it was no more than fear of what you did with no memory.

“I didn’t like it at first either, I suffered the same way, my god my parents are among the most powerful families in Kyoto my father and mother were ashamed of me because I contracted this disease I hated myself everyday and feared what I was yet one day I found that it was a gift and accepted it to a extent. It was a lot peaceful and I could control it better.[/b]”

He’d watch her body and sensed her beast rising closer and closer to her body he’d knew it was time to get her out of there, he knew deep down that she was indeed going to shift. His hands kept standing to her waiting to feel her hand caress his own so they could begin the escape from the mundies and daylight. This was the last place he would want her to shift and this would teach her as well where to go to when the full moons were to happen. His body shifted on his foot until it finally happened.

His hand touched hers as he felt her beast leap. His own leapt back and tied hers with the similar energy to stop her shift from the time being, the subtle touch created a calming nature in her beast settling it down at least until he could get her into safety. Feeling her body give way and run with him. He’d hear her scream and he stopped picking her up in his arms and hoisting her in a fire mans carry the close proximity caused his beast to rub against hers calming it down to the verge of halting it at the very surface.

“Hold on just let my beast control your breath. Slowly in and out we’ll be there soon we will be and then it will be all let go.[/b]”

He’d carry her running through the foliage in his arms until he found the abandoned subway entrance. Catching the rail with his bum he’d balance his body and they slid the rails as he stalled at the bottom and ran down the back ends of the tunnels, leading into pure darkness and the smell of fox would surround them heavily welcoming them into the territories and into their home away from home, simulating fox holes the twisting and the tumble of them all. He’d look at her and kneel down as he hushed her letting his hands comb through her hair

“Just breath and accept it your safe now… and I hope you brought extra cloths.[/b]”

[daiyu]

The words of subtle flattery weren’t even heard. Beautiful? Hardly. She was a monster, a beast that wanted nothing more than to hunt. To run wild and free. Uncaged. Daiyu could hardly hear the words that fell from his mouth. He chose to explain things as if to distract her from the inevitable. She didn't see him as having gone through this as she was. He hadn't suffered the sickness as she had. The hate like she felt hate. Resent burned within her, but no words fell from her. Dazed almost she was tugged along, lead along. Deep calming breathes. Space.He stopped, hoisted her over shoulder. Her expression grew more and more feral until his beast sought to calm hers. A familiar feeling, a soothing feeling.

Darker and darker it grew in her vision until their bodies stopped. He sat her down, her eyes stared blankly into his own. Pain shot through her body, Every fiber in her body flashed with heat. A change. She was blind to it. Her hand clawed at her body, wanting to cool her core. No! She didn't want it! She tried to refuse what was coming, what lingered under her flesh.

Saphyre came around the corner she moved at speeds faster then a human could run but she knew these underground tunnels better then anyone else. They had been her home away from home. The scent of fox permiated the underground brick and dirt walls.

She caught the scent of the new female she could feel the physical fight that was taking place within the woman. She slid to a hault infront of Kusa and the girl. She felt the hate and the fear. It hurt Saphyre to see someone fighting this way with the beast inside of them.

She reached out to the girl with an extending hand but with that hand came the calming energy of her own beast seeking and soothing towards the girl. Saphyre knew she was a different creature mentally from humans who were turned.
