" Good terms? I suppose you could say so. " A small smile, appeared on Shaolin's mouth, as she nodded thoughtfully. Shaolin hissed, in content as the female nightmare patted her tails, brushing off all the little things that caught in her fur.
She stared at the male, trying to envision what he might look like. But she never had known colors, so it was probably useless. Horns, large build as every other nightmare such. Why bother? Shaolin stretched, her front paws extending out, as her claws lightly scratched the ground. It felt like a wieght had been lifted, and she went back to being curled up on the rug once more.
" So Raikou, tell me. Have you met any other nightmares, any that have caught your fancy? or any other ones? " She asked him, in a curious tone. Shaolin was curious to know, what many other personalities were out there. Were they all nice, or were they rather.. queer? Perhaps mean? Or sappy sweet? Pessimistic?
Of course, Shaolin heard some rumors.. but rumors, nevertheless, werent the truth.

 Raikou raised his head at this and sat back up upon his haunches. The floor boards creaking beneath the weight of his large body.
His teeth clicked together while his tongue slipped out of his mouth in a delayed sigh.
Was he the first nightmare she has ever met? That's the only thing he could think of that would make her ask such a question, other than the thought that she might have the hots for him and wanted to know if there was a female in his life, but that was just his male instincts kicking in.
"I've met plenty before, but only briefly, though, there is one that I know quite well, despite the fact of how long we've been living under the same roof. Her names Kumo, and she's a rather grumpy nightmare, tends to alone most of the time and prefers it that way."
He shrugged once more and grinned to himself. His ears propped up and he clicked his claws against his wrist, before rubbing them against his other claws.
"Why?"

" I've been living in the slums. You dont usually have a nitemare waltz in, or they're liable to break the the place. Xaki's never minding when I go missing, the ditz of an owner she is. " Shaolin shrugged, indifferently.
Even if it was the sort of things nightmares liked, the slums, they wouldnt walk into a small place, to wreck it down. Eventually Shaolin left, becoming too large for the place, her horns usually breaking plates.
Xaki left out her food, and gave her a roof. But she was still a ditz. Always running into a wall, preoccupied with something. Shaolin's paw twicthed remembering how Xaki once knocked Lantis and Ritsujii down like dominoes.
Raikou was living with another nightmare? Wow.
I cant imagine another nightmare around my place.
" I never quite got their accent, but another kitsusagi I know did. quite hard to get rid or of obtain an accent. Picked up a few words here and there but that was all. " She said, her head resting on a paw, the claws point downwards, so not to scratch herself.

Raikou tilted his head to side in slight confusion. Teeth clicking as he raised his head upwards in thought.
What did she mean about an accent?
He didn't recall nightmares ever having an accent, unless she was referring to that hiss like tone that some had. Not that he had it, Kumo was known for having it bad though, it was in every sentence, hissing her s' and rolling her r's together.
Was she referring to someone else in the slums?
Pawing the floor boards in frustration he shook his large head and spoke put in his booming voice once more.
"I fail to understand what you mean by 'accent' I do not recall a nightmare ever having an accent, unless you are referring to that awful hissing and trilling."

 Raikou didnt know of an accent? That was surprising to Shaolin.
She pondered on the thought, wondering how she would explain it. What was he referring to? A nightmare not having an accent or th definition of accent? Probably the first choice.
" Sailors develop heavy accents with swearing and new words overseas going to so many places. They start talking differently. "
" Sailors often travel to the slums and then everybody starts picking up from them. Since I've considered the slums, one of my favorite hangouts, I'm surprised I didnt pick up their accents. Usually you pick up somebodys habits after being around them so long.. Like the term wench, or cockney. Those types. " Shaolin shrugged, wondering if that explaination satisfied Raikou.
" Does that answer your question? " Shaolin turned her head to him, or where she thought he was.
" I guess most of us wouldnt have an accent, considering that many of us hang around each other. " Shaolin voiced her thoughts aloud, her low voice thoughtful. Shaolin remembered hissing alot when she was little, sliding the words off her toungue. But sometimes. well most of the time, nobody would understand her so she got rid of it. Nasty habit, that it was now that she thought of it. But she didnt dislike it. She understood it well. But sometimes she still did it, out of old habits.
" I assume you dislike hissing nightmares? It's not so bad. " She teased Raikou, her face turning to an amused smile.
" It's not like they're arent totally understandable. In fact, I find their hissing amusing, considering they're probably too lazy and just feel like sliding the words off their toungue. And hissing it as well. " Shaolin said, in a rather smug tone, thinking he could probably contradict her point.

Raikou firmly nodded his head once; aware that she couldn't see this nod, he was quite aware of what she was referring to now.
He had never been to the slums, but it was sounding quite--interesting.
"Yes, I get the idea of it now."
He tilted his head to the side at her last sentence, however.
How could one stand that horrid hissing and trilling, even he, who grew up around it and still had one in his family that constantly had that very.. Problem.
"What ever you say.. To me, it's merely a sign that the one who is hissing and trilling is under stress, irritated, too relaxed or simply just can't speak properly around others."
He said in his own opinion, while clicking his claws against the floor boards. His forked tongue slipping in and out, tasting the air, while his long furry black ears swished to the side as he snapped his head back up again.
"Or, would you prrreferrr me to talk like thisss?"

Shaolin laughed at his last sentence, as she had been listening to him quietly, holding back the possible comments she could of made.
" You cant prove your point with that one. Did you forget, I said that I find that amusing? It quite is, even more so, coming from you. " Shaolin said, bursting into another fit of laughter that lasted about twenty seconds.
Grinning, she glanced up flattening her ears as she pushed away the bangs from her eyes. A pause in the air lingered, until she opened her mouth to say something.
" I'm sorry. That was horribly rude, wasnt it? " Shaolin's tone was good natured, and her apology was sincere. But still, it was quite funny when he said it. First he disliked it and he was doing it?
" It's not quite so bad. But I suppose it might be annoying to you, since I'm not around hissing nightmares often. " Actually, not at all often but why say that? It just made the sentence sound longer. Resting her crossed paws lightly on the pillow, her grin fading as she felt the urge to yawn. But that would be incredibly rude, implying she was bored, or simply tired.

Raikou made a 'tsk' sound out of mild amusement.
They needed a topic change. Like Shaolin, Raikou disliked to remain on one topic too long, there were so many things to talk about; it would be a shame to talk about only one thing.
"So, is there anything interesting we can discuss, per say, abilities? I love to learn all the different kinds of abilities those of the higher class are born with."
He said with true interest. He truly wanted to know what her ability was, there were so many types of abilities out their, he just wanted to know them all.

" Abilities? Sorry to dissapoint, but I've never heard of such a thing. Where did you come upon to hear that? I wasnt aware kitsusagis had special abilities. " Shaoilin shook her head in cofuement, her head tipping up,
She hadnt been here in such a long time, so it was a most likely possibility she would never hear of it.
" Do you mean to say Nightmares have special powers, or something along those lines? " Shaolin peered at Raikou curiously.

Raikou reared his head back in a sudden jolt. Was she for real? She meant to say, that she has never been told of the nightmares special abilities, let alone discover her own!? This was more than a shock to him, though, in a way it wasn't all that surprising, in a way, one would suspect such a thing. After all, she was living among the feeble regular kitsusagi's in the slums.
Ridding his self of the shock in a slight sway of his massive head, he managed to speak once more.
"My dear Shaolin.. All nightmares and--dare I say it--angelics, are born with special abilities--powers, unique and our own."
He rose to his full height once more, as he got to his feet, the floor boards creaking below his weight.
"Even you. Though you have not yet discovered them, in your veins run a special power. One that only you may wield."
(( Very late reply, I apologize. D: ))

His shock wasnt very well hidden, if it was even hidden. Shaolin practically heard his shock, which puzzled her. Was not knowing that shocking? As the large male recovered and spoke, Shaolin absorbed the information, her mind struggling to comprehend it.
Powers? Was it possible for them to have powers? Well obviously so, but she couldnt think of herself having a power at all.
And .. dear Shaolin? Did he say dear all the time? It was highly possible, Raikou used that all the time with kitsusagis. She felt a tiny pang of dissapointment, hardly noticable.
" Going somewhere? " Since he stood up, he was obviously going to move somewhere. This room wasnt quite the largest, to move around in exactly.
(( How should we move this small talk along? xDD
No problem. x__x; Sorry Im late too. D: ))

Raikou coughed slightly, and shook his massive head with little effort, sewn eyes staring forward at nothing.
His trio of tails swayed slowly in a mass that swept the ground.
"No, I do not plan on leaving so soon.."
His teeth clicked together in a half grin, before he tapped his claws a few times against the floor boards in thought.
Shall I give her an example of power?
He thought to himself in a thoughtful manor. He would probably have a strange reaction from her if he did, but it was well worth it, if he wished to show her what he was on about.
"You see Shoalin, we can all conjure up some good battle strength, but the truly gifted (meaning the nightmares and angelics) can summon their own powers.. Like so."
He tapped his foot down upon the ground once more in deep thought, when all of a sudden a surge of lightning crossed over his body in a flash, that would even light up in their sewn eyes.
The crackling of the lightning soon came to an end, while the deep rumble of thunder wakened to the entry and the departure of the spark of lightning that was released.
"My ability has come to be known as 'lightning spark' a power born from lightning itself."
(( We could have a little spar between them, so that Shaolin could practice using her power. :3 ))

At first Shaolin thought to be alone, but now she rather enjoyed Raikou's company, especially since she was being filled in with questionable news.
As she listened closely to what he said, she was about to question, if the "truly gifted" part meant the powers he was talking about, but her thoughts were interupted, as a bright light lit up the utter blackness she saw, her mouth open and the light causing her to flinch. The brightness dimmed slowly, back into darkness as it faded. It sure was.. bright.
" I can sure see why it has the name. Lightning couldnt be a more perfect word for it. " She said dryly, but her voice held a hint of amazement, even though Shaolin tried to hide it. Her mouth felt dry as air filled her mouth and she closed it. At times like these, she was glad other nitemares couldnt see, as the term said, her jaw wide open of amazement.
" Its very nice and all, but dont you think a gift such as lightning is better suited for outdoors rather then indoors? We wouldnt actually want to pay the damages after all. " Shaolin said with humor, wondering how she could discover a power in herself.
" How did you go about discovering how to find and use this gift of yours? " .. She couldnt imagine herself at all with a gift such as Raikou's.
(( Do we simply create one for our own nitemares, or do we have to talk to the kitsusagi owners? =o Because I would have no clue what to do for Shaolin -__-;; ))

Raikou cocked his head back for a few moments, before shaking it slightly.
A slight smile crept upon as he realized her awe over his ability.
"Heh, you don't need to fret over such small things. I've already harnessed my powers, they are under my control."
He said in a some what amused tone.
However, he became quiet for a few moments at her second question. His trio of tails hanging lowly while his head hung in thought.
"I got in a bit of a fit with a kitsusagi when I was a kit. I can't remember the argument exactly, but I do remember this--a bright light struck the kitsu down when rage consumed me."
He shook his head out of the past thought and 'looked' over at Shaolin.
"Heh, don't worry though. I may have just discovered my powers and they were uncontrollable, but they were also a feeble power then.
A few days of recovery and he was fine."
(( I'm pretty sure it's create your own. I went by Raikou's actual attack from the series and such. :B ))

(( I havent been replying because I was pondering on what power Shaolin should have but Ive got nothing. I based her off the universe >_> But I couldnt think of anything. ))
Shaolin envied him, being in control. But she couldnt expect herself to discover it in less then ten minutes. She had to be realistic.
Her ears flicked forward, as she listened to him describe how he found it. She couldnt remember when anything unusual happened when she was in a rage. She wasnt mad very often, and her brawls with her 'brother' kitsusagi was often humor filled, even if much lecturing came afterwards.
" I suppose powers when you're older becomes more lethal? Os is it just from experience? " .. How interesting.
