Sometimes the curse of not seeing anything was annoying. At times, when Shaolin was alone, she wished she could see. But she had been this way all her life, so what did it matter?
Sighing in the dim-litted room, Shaolin occupied the entire rug on the ground in one of the random rooms of the Kitsusagi house. Nobody came around, unless it was some other kitsuagis looking for privacy for who knows what.
Rolling over, Shaolin patted her fur, to make sure it was silky smooth. Not that much of anybody would be seeing it anyways though. She flicked out her tongue to taste the air somewhat. Without smell, you had to go by with taste. Scratching the rug, she caused a hole in one part.
Much better.
(( So they can only hear, touch and taste left right? X3;;
I had no clue what to write owo;; ))

 Raikou padded down the hall way, his ears propped up in an attentive way.
Though he was robbed of sight and smell, his other senses made up for it. Far stronger than a regular or angelic kitsu, that was good enough reason for him, he was actually happy to be born this way.
As he continued down the hall way, he listened to the creaking in the floor boards, telling him that he still remained in the middle of the hall and wasn't about to collide with a wall.
The slight breeze that traveled frequently through the building was also helpful. It gave him a perfect analysis of all the door ways of the kitsu HQ's without having to actually see them.
Snapping his jaws shut in a grin, he flicked his forked tongue through his parted lips and tasted the air. Seeing as he couldn't smell, he smelled with his tongue, thanks to something called Jacobson organs, the same organs that snakes use to scent their prey.
And tasting that air brought an interesting scent to him. A lone female nightmare, one of his kin, obviously he wouldn't pass up the opportunity to meet this female; it wasn't like he had anything better to do anyways.
"Where, oh where are you?"
He said before entering the room that contained the female nightmare.

(( Chibbit makes Xaki jealous of her awesome RPing and Kitsu banners ;w; ))
Shaolin jerked her head up, hearing the sound of footsteps. In this part of the kitsusagi house at this time of the day? Her mouth parted into a frown, until she hear a deep voice. Did the other kitsusagi mean her? She stood up slowly, waking up the sleeping parts of her body.
She flicked her tongue out, to taste or should she say smell, an unfamilar scent. It was definetly another nightmare such as herself but male. Digging her claws into the carpet, she pondered thoughtfully. Nightmares had.. a rather distinct scent. She didnt meet much of her own often. Actually she hadnt met one ever.
A creak sounded and a light breeze flew in as somebody stepped inside.The male entered and Shaolin's body grew stiff. A feeling clenched up in her stomach, as if she was going into a fight.
" Were you calling for somebody? "
Her tone, as it always usually did, was annoyed . But secretly, she was pleased. Another nightmare? This should be.. interesting.

Raikou jerked his head center and grinned a gruesome grin, his large canines overlapping his lower lip.
Taking another few steady yet experienced steps forward, he spoke out in a voice that crackled like thunders wake.
"Indeed I was."
He grinned once more and advanced further into the room, so that his large body was now entirely in the almost vacant room. She probably could most definitely sense his dangerous presence now, yet would he harm his own kin? Not likely, not unless they irritated him, but he had wanted a spar for a long while, perhaps this young lady could provide one?
"That someone.. Was you. I tasted your scent, and well, you could say curiosity got the best of me."
A slight chuckle rumbled in his throat as he seated himself down upon the floor, the floor boards creaking beneath the weight of his massive body.
(( I'm actually not all that proud of my RP tag, I'm probably gonna' make him a new one when I can use the other computer again. The mouse is broken so we need a new one, which means, no paint programs or anything. Good excuse to role-play and take a break from stuff though. But I still have discriptions to type out. =__=;; I'm hopeing we get a laser mouse the one I'm using now, for my brothers laptop. *w* ))

Shaolin circled the large yellow kitsusagi, her mind automatically adjusting to his scent. He was fully inside the room now, as Shaolin's fur pricked upwards. As she walked around, one could hear the light tap tap of her claw on the wooden floor, trying to find out more about this kitsusagi. But what help would circling do?
" Curiosity? Curiosity killed the cat. Are you sure you want to risk that fate? " It was a dull tone, but she was actually rather interested. It was highly doubtable that Shaolin could take on one as large as the other nightmare in the room, but it was only a question of 'curiosity.' One's size may have some advantages though.
Judging from how the floor seemed to lean inwards from the weight, and the sounds from the floor, Shaolin assumed the nightmare had sat down. He was probably one of a massive size, probably a good few inches on herself. Perhaps, alot more then some inches.
" You do some nightmares have a nasty temperament right? " She flicked her tounge out, as if in distaste. Too bad, she wasnt blessed with that. Due to someone's influence, she had slowly become .. nice. It was a dreaded word, she refused to say aloud and only in her thoughts it remained.
She remained a slight distance from him, an air of caution surrounding her.

Raikou clicked his fork tongue against the roof of his mouth, before letting out a low hiss.
Ah what a wonderful nightmare, already she’s making threatening remarks.
He chuckled slightly, that sounded like rolling thunder, before flicking his entire trio of tails right around him and tapping his claws against the floor boards, resulting in a click and drag.
"Ah yes, but if it weren't for curiosity, we would not be here today--for if it weren't for curiosity, our ancestors would not have been lured and cursed by the shrine."
His chuckle flowed into a booming laughter, his lower teeth visible, while his over grown canines grazed the edges of his lower lips as he slammed his mouth shut in a snarl.
"Or are you one of those poor unfortunate fools who are--un-proud what of you are?"
He questioned her in a bitter tone.
He always preferred asking this question, rather than befriending a nightmare, only to find that they were un-proud of their species.
"As for bitter attitudes, I may have a kinder personality, but do not be fooled. I have my fair share, like any other nightmare on the face of this wretched earth."
(( Raikou was 600k. :3 Same amount as a regular growing nightmare. :3
Though, I think its 600k+ if it's a complex design, you'd have to ask one of the colourists. ))

He was right. If their ancestors weren't lured into the shrine, Shaolin wouldnt have what she had now. Where most kisusagis avoided nightmares, and how lethal they looked. Shaolin hadnt actually seen herself, but she had enough words to picture it somewhat. Nightmares were always of a large build, giving them more in a fight. They had large horns, and eyes sewn shut. Shaolin was a dark blue color with green radioactive-like markings. That was how Xaki described her to herself. Shaolin flicked her tail, in content, as her frown curved into a smile.
So when Raikou said that, she was somewhat thrown off by his bitter tone. Jerking her head up, she didnt wait long to reply to him.
She hissed at the sentence, " Fool? Be unproud? If we didnt have this look, then we wouldnt have the wonderful experience of being a nightmare. One doesnt really live until they've become one. We're of massive size and we can go anywhere we wish, without limitations. " Shaolin replied, as if she was walking on eggshells around this kitsusagi.
But Shaolin's tone turned wishful. " But I'd think I'd like to see what everything is like for once. Even for an hour, possible even a day. Wouldnt you like to know what everything looks like instead of picturing it as a strange object? Just feeling the shape, and tasting the scent isnt quite as good as knowing what it is. Not that I really mind it, but sometimes I wonder. " Shaolin shook her head, as her eyes glazed over.
He also had a point with the personality.

Raikou merely snorted at her question. 'Would he like to see the world? And smell the scents instead of tasting them?' Not likely, he despised the world at times, why would he want to look at an eye sore?
Clicking his teeth in another grin, he parted his jaws in a silent sigh, this was annoying.
"Tch! Why view something I dislike, and what would be the difference in smell?
Smell and sight is just another perk in a normal life, something I never had nor will ever I care about not having."
Not that he'd ever thought about it, but he had always come to the conclusion that he didn't need it. In a way, he figured that those with sight were the ones that were truly blind, for they normally didn't see the things for what they truly were and always judged by appearance. Perhaps having no sight was a blessing?

A normal life? Shaolin didnt quite want that. Ouch. a normal life? How .. dull.
Shaolin tried to listen as Raikou went on, his words of a great interest to her. Why would they view something they disliked? And how was smelling different from tasting? That did put a new light. Sometimes no sight was a whole lot better off. Perhaps.
Shaolin stared, into blackness, as she thought. Nightmares were protected in a way, from things that could truly look not as good as one could imagine it would be. What if the strange object in her mind not really an apple? Was it possible that apples could be a flat four-sided fruit instead of round?
" I guess an apple isnt round then. " Shaolin said softly, probably seeming like nonsense to Raikou.
" What is your vision of an apple?" her sudden soft-voiced question, could have aroused surprise in many others.

Raikou shrugged.
'What is my vision of an apple' eh?
He thought for a moment, searching through his mind to re-call what he was looking for again.
"Last I re-call it was round, when I felt one, and I was told it could be various colours from yellows through greens to reds. Whatever those colours are."
With a twitch of his tails he rolled onto his side and then sat up onto his stomach with his feet tucked underneath his chest.
The purple spines flowing about like wind through grass or waves in an ocean, feeling his surroundings for him, just in case something came closer then it should.
He sensed the disappointment in her voice and sighed quietly.
She must have been really depressed about the whole thing, what creature could have filled her head with sights of the real world and not even stop to wonder if it will start to affect her sorrow of having no sight?
"Why you sense your surroundings? It may not be as good as actually seeing them with your own eyes, but it tends to work."
He said in hopes that he had not disappointed her. He had a way with crushing hopes lately with logic.

(( Hey Chibbit, do you mind if I ask you to cut out one of the two kittens in the aviah lineart? >_> It might be easier for both of us that way :3 Unless you finished it, then thats no problem x3;; )) " That works too. " Shaolin thought about it. Sensing was much better then nothing, and looking from what she thought was Raikou's view, he did have a point.
" Oh well. Off this matter about sight. it's quite a boring topic, now that I think about it. " Shaolin shrugged the topic off, since she disliked pondering on one subject too long.
The floor creaked, as Shaolin assumed he had moved somewhere in the room. He was still nearby.
Then a thought hti her, surprising her.
I dont even know his name. Thsi thought surprised her in more ways then one. Why would she even want to bother knowning another nightmare's name? .. But it was awkward if they didnt.
" Shaolin's the name by the way. " Shaolin settled onto a pillow, on the torn up rug she was on, resting her head down. It was probably torn up by her horns anyways.

Raikou turned his head to stare blindly at Shaolin, a slight smirk forming upon his maw.
Introductions now?
That was something they needed to get down, come to think of it, he hasn't even mentioned his name yet.
Clicking his claws against the cold surface of the floor boards, he nodded lightly and spoke out in his usual low voice, his forked tongue slipping in and out as it pleased.
"The names Raikou, it's a pleasure to meet you Shaolin."
He flicked his trio of blue tails and tapped his claws once more before deciding to speak again, this time in an amused tone of voice.
"For one who is supposedly nasty tempered, you seem to be polite and kind."

Raikou. Shaolin repeated the name over in her mind, firmly implanting it into her brain. After all, she wanted to remember him.
In responce to Raikou's question, Shaolin answered, " Aha. You dont listen, do you Raikou? I asked you, if you knew nightmares have a nasty temperament. I never specifically stated I had one. So in other words, you simply assumed it on your part. "
Shaolin's tone was just as amused, if not more, then Raikou's with a hint of smugness in her voice. Her eyebrows were raised, even though Raikou couldnt see it, she was most likely smirking.
Shaolin added truthfully, a pause later, " But on a bad day, I do have a nasty temper. I tend to lash out and usually enter a brawl with another kitsusagi that annoys me in the slightest. " Shaolin didnt regret having that sort of temper, but sometimes it caused too much trouble. Shaolin sighed, her toungue once again flickering in distaste.
Her mouth, twitched slightly, as she shifted on the floor, arranging the pillow for better comfort.
" You're an interesting nightmare, Raikou. " Shaolin stated, in a tone, with more then a few hints of pleasure.
It was sure fun, to meet another nightmare. Were they all interesting? Most likely.

Raikou snorted, this was getting rather amusing.
Clicking his claws once more against the floor, he shook his head and stared blindly at Shaolin.
"Ah yes, but normally, one would assume such things, if one said such words in a threatening tone to a stranger. It's only natural that I assumed you were referring to yourself."
He said, as if poking fun at her playfully.
Shrugging the topic off he moved onto what she had said next, a thoughtful expression on his face.
So she had fought before, that was good if he ever wanted to find a sparring partner, assuming she would want a good spar as well if she was in one of her off days.
Though, he never tended to think of himself as interesting? Sure he was different, more different than other nightmares, but he wasn't all that interesting, was he? He was more along the lines of talkative, though he did pick up on the hints of pleasure in her voice.
"Interesting eh? Does that mean we're on good terms?"
