The fireflies surrounding Narcisa became excited when she began to move. Like tiny faeries they zipped around in front of her in sharp little arcs in the direction Akuji had gone, as if guiding her back to him.
Meanwhile the pale xio followed a narrow path through the woods. He was careless of branches as he brushed past, though his gait was slow enough that the noise caused by his passing was minimal. Stepping on a twig, the sound of its breaking was muffled and surrounded, amoeba-like, by his massive paw.
As Narcisa came to the end of this path, she would find it widen out into a natural clearing where long ago several trees had been hit by lightning and now lay decomposing where they had perished. Several rocky outcroppings scattered around the clearing, one large enough for Akuji to lean against its slanting surface. He leaned forward with his forepaws gouging the soft earth beneath his claws, and arched his back until his shaggy mane spiked out behind him. As he looked up, the moon peeked through the gap in the canopy above, shedding a ghastly light on the vaguely morbid scene.

{Oh my gosh I am so sorry I forgot to respond to what you last said. I am sorry crying . Oh I think it might be fun. I mean just because you are someone's guardian does not mean you have to be romantically involved and I wonder how Akuji will handle poor Narcisa owing him. I think it has great possibility to add another interesting level on the developing relationship of the three/four of them)
Narcisa could not help the smile that came to her face as she made her strange walk after the fireflies. She rather enjoyed their company and the way the lit up the darkness. She loved having the night protect her and the fireflies guide her.
She almost had forgotten she was following after the strange male Xio. That was until she saw the moonlight shine down on him and illuminate his body. The smile left her muzzle and she looked over at him. She had stopped moving closer to him her eyes slowly moving over his horrifying form. She envied how strong he was, how sure of himself he was. She felt so weak. No wonder he had tried to kill her before. She lowered her head slowly in a greeting to him the moonlight glinting at different intensities from her skull. "I see the mistress is not with you....is she well?" her voice was soft though it did not show too much of the fear that was within the younger female.

(( Don't worry! x3 Oh dear well it's not like Akuji and Phaedra are, at least in the sense that physically they're not compatible. xD I think at this point they view one another as soul mates? :3 And Akuji's disappointment in Narcisa is he thought that perhaps they would be kindred spirits. Hopefully he'll be able to get that across to her. He's not the best at that sort of thing. But yes, the introduction of Sibylle, it has lots of possibilities. :3 ))
Akuji had slowly straightened at the sound of Narcisa's entry into the clearing. So she had followed after him. He was almost surprised, but he could not really fathom why she would. Well, perhaps he could, but they were all pretentious reasons. After their previous meeting, he had no reason to be.
He watched her with unblinking eyes. The fireflies that had accompanied her joined their fellows overhead. Her question was an obvious and potentially inconsequential one to make but nevertheless, it sent an unfamiliar twinge of jealousy running through him. Ah. That's why she came. All right, so he couldn't help but be pretentious, at least within his seemingly empty skull. Her words seemed to reinforce his disappointment from that night. His realization that she was nothing like what he had been hoping. It was not a lack that she suffered, but a conclusion that he had jumped to far too prematurely.
But he was many unsavory things, and it was only natural for him to wonder what kind of response he would earn from a cruel reply such as, "I killed her." He stared at her without reply for probably far too long as he mulled it over. He decided that Narcisa's would be a violent response. Normally that would have been interesting to him, but due to his overall disappointment, and perhaps even a touch of depression, he just wanted her out of his sight. So he spoke the truth instead.
"Tonight, she is where I cannot go, up in the tallest trees." He shrugged and looked away. "It's a libelyt thing."
(( Akuji's jealous. *shot* XDD ))

(Ain't nothing wrong with being soul mates. Kinder spirits they might still end up being. Who knows what will happen with little Sibylle join the fray. Well if they do not go with a blood breeding Akuji and Phaedra could breed. Fairy Xio could be really cute. lol)
The tortious colored female watched him as he took his time in replying. She could 'tell' from his eyes and his movement that he was not found of her. No one ever was. She was really a waste of a Xio. She was not strong like him. Nor was she bounded to such a fine Katorai as miss Phaedra was. She was wanted by no one and she knew this to be the truth. But she had had hope as she lay alone at night and thought of the strange pair. And as she watched him look over her she could not help feel the heat of blood raising under her skull as her mind started to drift to the first meeting they had and more primal four legger thoughts.
She shook her head as his death rattled words sounded. "I half expected you....Xio to say you had killed her....though I know your bond to be strong with her...and she has you so tamed you could not harm her...." she did not know why but when she was around this blood soaked Xio she found herself wondering what it would be like to die or to kill. To feel the pain running threw her and at the moment when she thought death would come to ease her suffering being froced to return to the body and the pain. This caused her to gasp suddenly and take a step back from him as against her will she realized she spoke, "And since she is not here, she could not stop you if you chose to take a hold of my rope and pull." She was shocked at the sound of her voice, it was way to confident and radiated with a deeper tone she was not aware of.
She shook her head and shifted her body to block the rope and her left front leg from view. "I am sorry....you must miss your mistress...but Katorai do so much that we may not join in....so I hear." Why was she being so talkative? Why did she feel this need to be nice suddenly. She could feel her body tensing ready to run or attack him but she could not feel it in her heart too just yet. Maybe the two of them had been right before in saying that they were misunderstood or that they were trouble.
(Poor dear being so jealous. thats what you get when you have such an awesome master XD)

(True true... anything can happen with these guys. It's so unpredictable! x3 You're right... fairy xio would be adorable. Gah! Dx <3
Careful tho, nobody knows names yet. o: )
Akuji glanced back at her, in wide-eyed surprise. She knew he wanted to say that? Or... perhaps she just knew him well enough that he'd say such a thing, true or not. Perhaps she thought he was just that low. Perhaps she wanted an excuse to attack him. Such a strange girl. Maybe they had more in common than he thought... if nothing else than that they felt protective of her.
It was a strange conclusion to come to. He knew that she was jealous, but maybe it was a little more than jealousy.
These thoughts made him almost overlook her use of the word "tame." Perhaps it seemed that way. Always they walked a line, he and Phaedra. Sometimes he found it so hard to restrain himself for her. Sometimes he he could just feel what it would be like to throw everything they had away and just kill... to mutilate, rape and murder, to bathe in terror, blood, and pain. So maybe right she was right, but someday perhaps, the word "tame" would be a flimsy, meaningless dream.
It could be tonight.
His eyes widened again. Why had she gasped, why had she stepped away? What had she seen, when he had not yet moved a muscle? Had she seen something projected subconsciously from his thoughts into his expression? Or was she envisioning something else? Something about that rope... something about the way she said it and quickly hid it from him made him interested again. Something, maybe, about the other night when they had pinned each other. What is this?
He rose to his feet, not yet menacing, but how she reacted would probably determine whether he remained that way. "You are right about the katorai. But the opposite is also true. The xio can do things that the katorai may never consider, either."
(queue alarm bells in the distance. I think they're getting louder. xD )

(Oops I forgot that sorry. I changed it though. So she never said her name redface )
Narcisa tilted her head a bit as she looked up at the fireflies. Some how they seemed to be a bit dimmer as if they were worried about showing the interaction of the two Xio. It was true that of the two speices the Xio were more primal. They were beast like at their hearts and they were bodyguards at their best. Why was it that this pale skin male could make her forget about ever self hating and her envy of others. He was so temping her to step over to the wild nature and stop worry about finding a ward or her own fears.
She smirked at how, for a moment at least, it seemed he had not heard a word she said. She turned her head to face him and listened to his words. She was shocked to get so much out of him, when he had hardly spoke to her at all before. "Very true Xio. And I am tempted to ask for a refresher corse." she said her voice again sounded strange to her own ears. It seems that wail a master was away...the servants would tear a sunder then night....or was it....play?
She watched him stand her body tensed a bit but she shifted her body so she could take a step towards him. Her non glowing eyes shaded by the textured skull atop her head, which was lowered to allow a more free walk. For a minute she wanted to see his white fur covered with blood. She was not sure why her mind was filling with such dark thoughts....but for tonight at least she did not care. She would not worry about how weak she was, or how lonely, or the desprate need to be like everyone else or for someone to like her. Wail the masters are away 'broken' Xio's will play.
(I do fear that you might be right. But at least things can get bloody to an extent. Lets hope they head that direction. And I am impressed Mel gets bigger vocabularies when she is sleepy XD)

( *salute* she never said it. Gotcha. x3 <3 )
She had not fled when he stood up. Neither had she made her typical lunging attack. Her eyes were under heavy shadow but he thought he could see a different glint in her eye. Her expression was not submissive despite the lowering of her head, nor was it angry, though it seemed to carry a dangerous fire. He liked danger and he liked fire. He really liked the strange, deeper quality of her voice that beckoned a reply in kind. "And what sort of instruction would a wild one such as your self be needing Xio?" A hint of amusement rolled out with his rumbling purr.
Unnoticed, the light of the fireflies had dimmed: they were keeping their distance. But for now the moon kept its stark light shining on the pair below.
( Yeah go figure. Maybe it's all Akuji's fault. xD )

(Yay thank you. <3)
With her head still lowered to give herself the ability to walk almost normally she moved a few steps closer to him. He continued to surprise her. He almost seemed to be enjoying him himself right now. Well at least interested and maybe that was what he needed maybe he need to just let go. Hearing the purr sent a strange wave threw her. It was a sound she had never heard from another living creature and one she wanted to hear more of. She wondered how she could bring out more from this large male.
"Oh I am sure you can find something to teach me. One like you I am sure has so much offer." Her tail flick behind her as if wanting to wag like a pup. the loop around her leg hung loosely almost as if it would fall of if she stepped once more but she held her ground. She was close enough now to smell the blood on him clearly and without the breeze to bring it to her.
Slowly she leaned her head forward and towards him. She wondered how he would respond to a little attempt at playing. She had never played before, but now was not the time to think. If they fought they would fight if not they didn't. She stretched out her neck to n** him firmly but not threatening in the upper front leg, her body still tense for what ever he might do.

With keen interest he watched her approach, still unsure of what to expect from her. Perhaps that was why she was allowed to n** at him before he reacted. But a snarl issued from his maw without any forethought. Perhaps she wanted to play, but his idea of games were not such lighthearted things. Opposite from Narcisa, a blood-stained claw swiped the air. But instead of making contact with her body, it came to rest firmly on the rope where it dangled so near the ground. He held it firmly as he gazed at her unblinkingly. Barely above a whisper, he hissed through a broad grimace of glee, "I offer intermediate courses in bloodletting with prolonged periods of pain. We recess to kill. Does that sort curriculum suit you?"
His eyes glowed brightly. She had to know it would be like this. Playing like puppies? Perhaps she liked a lot more foreplay, with a crescendo of terror and pain. He was not so good at that. He was used to losing it and going all out before Phaedra found out. If Narcisa wanted things prolonged she'd have to teach him how to do that.

Narcisa eyes flashed as she felt his heavy paw fell on the rop tightening it around her neck. Her fangs bared in a grin that seemed to match his grimace. She lifted her left front leg up her soft fur brushing against the matted fur of his leg. As he move the scent of dead and decaying leaves would rise from her. She gave a deep laugh and she pulled her neck sharply to the right the loop that was normally around her own paw loops and pulled tightly around the tick wrist of Akuji's right front leg. "I wonder if you can take what you dish out Xio." Her voice sounded so force in her ears that she almost wanted to laugh and pull away in embarrassment but he seemed to be full willing to play this game and she could not help the wild side of her from raising up.
She growled slightly and lifting her now freed paw up she pulled on the rope hard to try and pull his now bound leg under him. She did not know how many females he had trapped in a pain filled dark dance, however she was going to try and make him work for this game. Hopefully he would not get bored of her....or kill her. BUt she would cross that bridge when she game to it.

The damp smell of dead leaves and blood filled his nose when Narcisa brushed her leg against his. This was a completely new side from what she had even hinted before. He was marveling at this while she slipped free of her rope and looped it around his right foreleg. He snarled warningly. "Whaat..."
She seemed keen on tripping him. Instead he managed to brace himself before she could make him lose his balance. Even a small xio can knock a large one off his feet. He knew this all too well from previous experience with her! Though he had a feeling that the situation would be a little different if he allowed it to happen, this time.
An interesting feature of the noose is that by pulling on it, one tightens it. So while she was looping it around his leg, she was probably cutting off her own airway. He was also aware that any sudden moves from him could snap her neck. So he had to be careful. He didn't want to be... this was becoming too exciting. It was approaching the point where he loses control and his plaything loses its life. Hm.
While she tugged at the rope in one direction, he leaned in the opposite direction. The force was slow and constant and would only increase if she continued. Now it was time to see how she reacted to such things, to see if she was bluffing. He really hoped she wouldn't disappoint him again.

As she felt him plant his foot his body refusing to go down. She gave a low growl, but could not help the smirk form on her lips as he started to lean his leg away from her.
She gasped and as she felt the rope tighten around her neck slowly. Her eyes caught the moonlight and it was clear from the dark look in them that this time she might surprise him. She lowered her paw from the rope allow him to tighten up on the rope around her neck as she leaned away from him for a moment giving a slight wanting whimper before she moved a bit closer to him to allow herself some more air. Her tail gave a wag as she shifted her form to take a few deep breaths then she moved down his body allowing the rope to grow taut again. He would be able to feel, as the rope got tighter, the slight vibrations of her gasps along his ankle as the air started to be forced under the rope.
It was hard to think like this, and the fact that she was walking a thin line right now made her hear pound even louder in her ears. She knew her life was in his paws and the wrong move could end her life. But he did want pain did he not? She remember hearing something about him feeling pain differently so she wondered if causing him to bleed as well would only anger him. But if she were to die to day then she would die.
She gave a horse growls as she opened her mouth and drug her fangs over the scars in his side allowing the points to dig in slightly but not break the skin just yet.

Firefly eyes followed the female's movements with boundless fascination. Every every whimper she uttered, ever shiver and gesture begged him to pull tighter. So he gladly did, taking up the slack when she moved closer, but giving her the time she needed to breathe before putting the pressure back across her windpipe.
A sensation he had never imagined before became apparent soon enough as the slack came to rest under his paw: vibration. It was different from vibrations of footfalls and earthquakes through the earth. It was different from the vibrating pressure of thunder, of roaring waterfalls. But it was similar. Delighted, he used the sensitive padding of his unbound paw to guide the taught line.
To say Akuji lacked feeling in open wounds and scar tissue would be false. But to say he felt pain the same way as another would also be false. It was constant for him and therefore slow to register. Moreover it was a cross between a sickly and a quickening feeling. The sensation of pain, his pain or that of others, seemed to keep him going, if not outright energize him. But the pressure and tickling sensation he felt as her teeth pressed in was a warning before the fact. He smirked and growled and twisted the rope a little, digging the woven fibers into the rope burns in her neck.

The lack of enough oxygen made Narcisa light headed and gitty. She felt pulled away from everything and yet some how she felt everything even more greatly than she ever had. Akuji's skill paws new how to keep her from going fully under and yet keep her from panicking and running away.
His growl was like thunder in her ears. She pulled against the rope and to her shock found it was shorter than she remembered and he tighten it enough to cause her to cry out slightly into the matted fur of his side. She tried to growl as the twinge of the rope digging against the burns brought fresh full pain to her. She felt a shiver run threw her the twisting of the rope pulling her away from the scar and towards the gaping wound on his left for leg. She smirked and pressed her muzzle to the wound her tongue, which was already slightly hanging out darted over the open sore. The Claws of her right paw moving over the top of his left paw to pin it down as he lapped at his wound her large canine dragging across the hole.

It took him a moment to realize that Narcisa's cry was not necessarily a negative one. Pulling her away had not been his intention, but when she zeroed in on a gash in his shoulder he decided that this was better.
What was this strange combination of affection and violence? What he did to others was one thing, he knew he was far different from most, and his ideas were often the opposite of others. But receiving was a unique sensation from all that. Knowing how to respond to her was impossible. How did others respond? They usually cried out in pain and fear or fled, or any number of unfortunate responses, something he had expected from Narcisa. Or more likely, with that stoic way about her, he might have expected her to simply endure, or respond with angry violence. But not this. Never this.
His tail whipped about. With one paw pinned by the female's, he leaned closer and bit down on the sensitive base of her ear.
