Welcome to Gaia! ::

Melethia was silent. This wasn't anything that she was going to tell anyone. It was linked to how she ended. Humans killed someone dear to her. She didn't want to be open about her homeland.

"I can't tell you." She said, "It's a terrible thing, even for me. No one should know...but I hate...humans." She paused. "As a whole...there are a few that I do like. You are not one of them."

"You've been causing me problems!" She yelled. "I do not wish to know you." She then saw something that caught her eye. "Why do you have that book?"

"I never thought of it that way." She said. "It is forbidden to practice those arts...though it never stopped some people." her voice was filled with hatred as she said that last bit.

"You know about quintessence?" She said. Melethia was surprised that someone else besides Renault knew about that. She was scared at who else might know about it. She knew it had some effect on Renault and he was one of the few people Melethia trusts. She didn't like what she was hearing from this guy. Arcane magic skills and a knowledge of quintessence was a bad thing in her mind, no matter if this guy seemed to be good. If he said the wrong thing, Canas might be killed.

Running. So much running. Abel had been leading Akihi down the streets, trying to get away from the... loving mob. Sure, the people loved Abel now, which was way better than them hating him... sort of. Abel was now able to walk into the city without the fear of being beaten. However, now he had to face the fear of being molested! He would be having none of that!!

"H-how... are they... still so close behind us?!" Abel panted as he ran, clenching Akihi's hand tightly. "Generic villagers, my a**! These people have their speed stats maxed!! ...AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!"

The two of them were running well, but suddenly Abel tripped on a pothole in the street. He stumbled, and yanked the hand that was holding Akihi forward, sending his friend tumbling on the ground. Abel caught himself in his stumble before he fell and continued to run. "Gah.. sorry, Akihi...." He wiggled his hand around that had formerly been holding the hand of his companion to find that nothing was there. "Akihi...?" Abel stopped and looked back to see Akihi on the ground, the crowd almost upon him. "AKIHI!!"

The horny crowd wasted no time in glomping the poor robed boy who had fallen. In a matter of seconds, the belt, boots, and pants had been removed from Akihi, possibly without him even knowing it. The crowd did not do this to have sex with him, though. They found him to be so femininely beautiful, that they wished to have his clothes as keepsakes. "So... so pretty~ I want more... his hair! I WANT HIS HAIR! I LOVE HIM! EEEEEEE!!" ..Apparently a portion of the crowd had turned into rabid fangirls.

"Hang on Akihi!! Yaaaaaaaah!!" Without hesitation or taking any time to actually think about what he was doing, Abel proceeded to dive bomb the sprawling mob. Unfortunately, the crowd found Abel to be just bishy enough to do the same thing to him. Within a matter of seconds, he was missing his boots, belt and jacket. However, he did find Akihi and proceeded to pick him up like a helpless princess and run for it. He held the mage's face tightly upon the skin of his chest as he ran. "Don't worry... I'll lose them!"

Like some crackish RPG hero, Abel took a turn down onto a different street and then a sudden sharp turn into an alleyway. The freakishly loving mob eventually turned down the same street, but kept running passed the alleyway. Finally, the two had escaped them. Abel set Akihi down and moved him to the side of the wall, so that the mage could lean upon it. Oddly, it was as if Abel was treating Akihi like he was actually Alihi. He panted, but still let out a goofy, teeth-bearing grin that forced his eyes shut. It was a typical thing to do in the face of victory. Abel then looked at Akihi and saw that his robes were being folded in front of him, to make up for the loss of pants. Abel turned to his friend and set a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry they did that to you... I really aaaaAAAAAAAAAM---!!!"

One thing that Abel had forgotten about was that the crowd had taken his boots. This meant that he was barefoot. Because of having no traction on the bottom of his feet, added to the natural clumsiness, when Abel had stepped in a small puddle of water in the alleyway, it didn't take much for him to slip and fall backward. As he did, he tightened his grip on Akihi, managing to grasp the mage's jacket. Unfortunately, Abel's yank caused the jacket to rip and be pulled right off. Akihi was naked.

When Abel fell back, his backside hit against a wood pile. The jacket that came off hit above the wood pile into a stack of discarded trash. Abel pulled himself forward, but when he had hit the wood pile, his pants got snagged by rusty instruments and tore off of him. While this happened, the jacket had caused the trash to fall, and buckets fell to the side. Abel naturally tripped again, as his pants were torn off of him, and bumped against Akihi. Since he weighed heavier than the mage, they began to fall backwards and Abel made a natural reaction of turning his body. When they landed, Akihi was underneath of Abel, who was completely over top. They were nose to nose. Abel could feel Akihi's breath against his mouth. He could feel Akihi's skin against his own. Abel's hand was up by Akihi's head, and could feel the silky hair. Both were soft, and delicate. It was like he was with Alihi, except that Akihi had a p***s.... sort of.

The more Abel stared into Akihi's eyes, the more he began to see Alihi. The feelings he had no idea how to share about Alihi were being forced out in a radical manner, as if some magic was controlling him. The two were placed together so conveniently. The mysterious spell gave no choice. The held up sexual impulse and longing desire of the young mercenary took over. Abel began lowering his head slowly, as he shut his eyes. Suddenly, a net fell from above them, a clear effect of all the tripping and bumping around. The net covered the two naked boys, trapping them.

The Catch of the Day was served.

Rajin smirked seductively as he watched Joshua squirmed. Oh, how delightful. Either Joshua was trying to play the role of a desperate prisoner or he was really frustrated to get into his pants. After all, how could you explain the beorc’s behavior if they tried to grind themselves onto another?

He could see Joshua squirmed underneath him, only to fail miserably from his grips. Aw… The swordsmaster looks adorable when trying so hard. Maybe the tiger would help him out…

…

… By getting rid of his underwear first.

But before Rajin could move in close to kiss Joshua and pulling his undergarment out, he heard someone shouting behind him. And before the tiger could turn who was talking, he felt something cold and wet pouring against his back and onto Joshua. What the hell?! What the hell was that human’s problem?!

It wasn’t that Rajin disliked water. Oh, no. Tiger loved water, no matter what temperature the water would be. However, he was pissed off that the human had interrupted his moment with his love. And as much as he would love to stare at Joshua, being all wet and had little droplets dripping off from his smooth body, the tiger was not very pleased with that human behind him.

“You b*****d! What the ******** is your problem?!” Rajin growled as he turned around and snarled at the cart driver. No one shouldn’t dare interrupt him while he was having his moment or else that person would meet his fangs and claws for doing so. And since that human pissed him off, he was going to get it.

Just as Rajin was about to transform, he felt his balance shifted underneath him. His hand that was holding Joshua’s wrists slipped out while his other hand slid down to the side. There was also a sound of a rip too as he tried to regain his balance. The tiger managed to catch his balance, but he had let his prey slip away from him again. All that he had was nothing but a pair of ripped underwear.

Rajin blinked at what happened before he let out a curse. Damnit, he let him escape again. All because that stupid human distracted him. Well, he was not going to let him escape again.

The tiger quickly gave a sudden punch to the face of the cart driver before jumping out of the cart to chase Joshua. With a flash of light, he transformed into his other form. Despite how much distance Joshua ran ahead, Rajin was still on his trial. He could easily smell Joshua. There was no way he could escape from him no matter how much he tried to outrun him.

He weaved and turned from one alley to another, continuing to pursue Joshua. He could smell it. Joshua’s scent was becoming stronger and closer. As he made another turn, the tiger saw a glimpse of Joshua’s butt.

Growl…. How sexy.

Rajin chased after Joshua. As he was catching up to him, he picked up two more scents. He smelled that one of the two was a beorc with magic. What kind of magic it was? He couldn’t tell. As for the other, he could smelled that this person was similar to the parentless. Rajin growled deeply with loath.

There was a parentless? In this continent? UNFORGETTABLE!

Just when he thought that life was easier for him and the laguz to live peacefully with the beorc, there was a parentless in the mist. Usually when a laguz spotted a branded, they would ignore them. But not Rajin. Oh, no. Whenever there was a parentless in his radar, it. Made. Him. Ticked. With. Loathe.

Oh, just thinking about them had boiling his blood. And he could smell that it was in the same direction where Joshua was heading. Love or hate? Joshua or the parentless? Make love or rip it to shred? Which one should he go for?!

He wanted to be with his love. But at the same time, he wanted to tear the throat out from the creation he despite so much. What to do? What to do? What could a tiger do in this situation?

He knew very well that he couldn’t do both at the same time. He didn’t want to tear his love while on the verge of destroying the branded. That would ruin Joshua’s silky skin despite the scars the swordsmaster had. Damn! Why must the Goddess tease him with this?

As Rajin made a turn, he saw Joshua with two little boys. Not only that but Joshua was gripping onto a boy in front of him. After he took a small quick breath, he smelled what the boy was that Joshua was holding. It was a parentless!

Not daring to hurt his love while at the same time had the urge to kill the parentless, Rajin began to pounce onto the wall. He took three steps as he ran against the wall before he pounced toward Joshua and the parentless, avoiding the swordsmaster’s defense.

But as Rajin placed his paws onto Joshua’s shoulders while his hind legs were behind the parentless’ shoulders, he felt something slash him on the side. What was that? Did he pounce against the wall? He thought this alley was big enough for him to move around. Damn! He didn’t check his surroundings well.

Feeling that his energy was running low to keep his form, Rajin kicked the parentless away from Joshua before transforming back to his form. Once again, the tiger had managed to catch his prey. But he still hadn’t decide if he should make love to the swordsmaster or destroy the parentless.

“Got you!” Rajin smiled as he down at his love, sitting on top of Joshua‘s stomach. “Now-”

Rajin blinked at Joshua. What was it that he chased Joshua? Not only that, but why was the swords master naked? Rajin quickly thought back of why did he pursue him. He knew there was a reason why he chased him. But what was it?

Suddenly, he quickly remembered what it was. It was the bet that the swindler cheated him. That was why he was chasing him. Because he found out that the swindler rigged the bet and cheated his money off.

“You b*****d!” Rajin yelled as he started to punch Joshua in the face, giving him a bloody nose. He continued to beat up Joshua. “How dare you try to cheat me out of my money, you con!! I’ll show you not to mess with me!!”

After giving Joshua a bloody nose, two black eyes, lip cuts, and nearly broke his jaw, Rajin got up and strolled off, walking passed the shotas without knowing they were there. The tiger had also forgotten that one of the shotas was a parentless. Despite feeling cheated and didn’t got his money back (due to Joshua being naked,) he somehow felt relief of releasing his tension on the swordsmaster. That swindler deserved it. This was he got for swindling the tiger…

… Now that he thought about it, Rajin tried to figure out what made him want to bet with Joshua despite knowing that he was a swindler as he continued walking down the street.
