Interesting... "or not..." Nairou muttered as she quickly pulled her head out of a bush. Investigating the noise had proven only one thing. Crickets could be very loud. Of course, the secondary goal of finding out if the thing was possibly dangerous had been accomplished, but that touc of curiosity hadn't been fulfilled to an acceptable level. As frightening as something new might have been, because it might have thought she was a snack, it would change the general peace to something intruging.
A single ear twitched as she yawned, eyes turning up to the morning sky. Getting up early just to explore and it was a droll day as usual. Something new definitely needed to happen... She paused slightly. But then again, if something did... A nervous swallow, it might also be bad. What if it wasn't friendly, or worse, was very, very hostile.
The dark coloured creepy slumped down onto her hindquarters, ears drooping. She didn't want anything scary, but new was usually frightening. She couldn't predict it. Only new things were new material though, this was certainly a tough decision to make. Was it worth the risk to wish for something new when potentially it could be bad? "Why can't it just be simple?" He huffed slightly, shoving herself back to her feet and stomping one hooved foot on the ground. "Fine, well today. Just today, I'm going to explore!" Yes, determination that was it. She just needed to get herself ready and- "or-or maybe tomarrow..." She trailed off quietly, her voice now little more than a squeak. "Yea, tomarrow's better. Definitely better. I'll definitely go explore tomarrow..."

"Tch!"
Golden eyes flashed in annoyance, becoming submerged in the morning light's rays as the creature they belonged to tilted its chin up. The little beast folded his arms across his chest and tossed his disgusted glance down to the furry thing he sat upon. The cat was still asleep despite all his efforts to get the beast to rise. He removed his sword from his belt, raised it above his head, and brought it down atop the cat's head. He repeated the process about five times. "Damn you," he slumped forewards, using the cat's head for a pillow for his chin. He looked rather bored and defeated. But no, he would not be defeated. Especially by such a weak animal.
He shifted his eyes left and right before a maniacal grin parted his lips. "Ok cat," he snickered, sitting up and cracking his knuckles. Then without warning he bent forewards and caught hold of the cat's ears. He violently yanked them backwards and wouldn't you know it - the cat let out a frightened meow and leapt up. Hichigo dug his heels into the cat's side, enjoying the heck out of himself. The tabby cat began to run forewards - straight into the bush that was situated outside of its master's lawn. Hichigo had not expected this. he let go of the animal's ears to cross his arms in front of his face in a protective stance.
It didn't save him from being knocked of the cat's back by the thick foilage. A bit dazed and now lying on his back, Hollow Ichigo quickly sat up and rubbed his head. He cursed to himself and snorted. If he ever saw that cat again he'd slit its miserable throat. Using his sword to get him to his feet he exited the bushes, idly picking leaves from his bright orange hair and brushing off dirt from his black attire. He propped his sword over his left shoulder and yawned a bit. What ever would he do now? He tapped the incomplete hollow mask covering the right side of his face thoughtfully. Well, he could always go and reak havoc over the park.
A smile formed on his face. It was filled with bloodlust, as usual. The Kunkun began to run and then leapt up and disappeared in a blur of black and orange. He appeared again in the air and disappeared again. Then reappeared much further along. He was employing the flash step technique, of course, and was walking on the air. He wasn't too far up, about six feet or so. The sensation of flying through the air made his grin grow wider, revealing all his pearly white teeth. But something caught his attention. Near the street corner but not quite there was a bush. And by this bush was the biggest rabbit he'd ever saw.
He came to a screeching hault, naturally. His left eye, the one spared of the mask forming the right side of his face, grew maliciously curious. Hichigo lowered himself to get a better look of the thing but was careful not to be noticed. Upon closer inspection he found out that this thing was not in fact a rabbit. It hair as a human did and hooves. Rabbits didn't have either of these thigns. And it's spiritual pressure was vastly different thena common animals. This thing was obviously a Kyunru. Just like taht winged monkey he had terrorized once. His smile came back and it was ominous. The rabbit was really in for a surprise.
In a flash he had disappeared. He reappeared right in front of the rabbit's face. "Mornin'!" he cackled, letting a few tendrils of black and red spirit energy begin to come off him. Whether this Kyunru could see it or not didn't matter. Hichigo quickly scrutinized his 'opponent'. It seemed weak. Cowardly. This would be fun.

The Kyunru had only briefly come to the conclusion her decision was, infact, for the best when that slight bit of peaceof mind was shattered. Seconds after she'd raised a paw to try brushing anything that might have grown cause in her coat when she'd been investigating the cricket she froze as something appeared before her. Not that it was intimidating, well size-wise. Still, the quick inhale was a classic response from the Kyunru. As was the rather hasty set of steps abck, nearly tumbling head over heel in her haste.
Wait, it had talked, it was just a Kun-Kun. Yes, it had said good morning. It was fi- NO! No it was not fine! That thing had a sword, and was it glowing? She swore it was, or at least giving off a rather eery feel. It didn't matter, evil alerts were going off. Then agian, maybe she was just over reacting again. She'd nearly jumped out of her skin when a cricket dared to chirp, it was friend. He'd greeted her, yes, fine- unless you liked creepy laughter. She was bigger than it though, yes, much larger, it couldn't hurt her, right? Certainly not eat her.
Even if it was evil and had a sword...
"M-mooriing." The quick reply was sort of broken as she was obviously catching her breatha nd rather akward. Her expression matching the things running through her hea. Utter shock, fear, a minute hope, dashed again as she re-evaluted the situation, once more bright. Finally it rested on a more paranoid expression with dread obvious on the murky coloured creature. There just wasn't enough to suggest this thing was good until proven otherwise. So, to put it bluntly, she found herself in a rather deep pile of much. One that involved the masked orange haired creature. "Wh-what's up?" A forced smile as if to attempt to be friendly, to try and turn this into a positive thing. "Good daaayeeee isn't i-it?" She was never going to ask for new things again. Ever. She promised. Promised, promised promised. Well... at least not as often. So please let it be nice?
"Mm' N-nairoou, nice t-to meet you?" How had that thing just appeared anyway? It had practically been on her nose, she wasn't that blind was she? She blinked a bit to test, deciding it wasn't her vision. This Kun-Kun had done something strange too, maybe that was a good way to make it like her. Yes, he'd be far more friendly if the topic was about him. People liked talking about themselves. "Ah- um... how'd you p-poof like th-that?" Poof? Great, what a lovely way to put it. Still, she couldn't think of a better word at the moment, not when something with a sword and a face that left her insides a bit knotted up from anxiety. Nope, nothing better than poof.

Hichigo cocked an eyebrow. The rabbit was turning out to be everything he'd expected and more. What would really put the icing on the metaphorical cake was if she underestimated him. That factor seemed to always be on his side. He wasn't even big as her head but he was still something to be reckoned with. You had to give the small guy credit. He took pleasure in her reaction. What would've made it even more amusing is if she had actually tripped over her own four feet. He chuckled just loud enough for her to hear. "Has a little bunny lost its way?" he purred, voice as poisonous as cobra venom.
He awaited her response to his presence, casually tossing up his black sword and balancing it on nothing more then the downside of his left pointer finger. He didn't take his eyes off his sword. His pointed ears did, however, perk as she returning his morning. However, it sounded more like 'moring'. He wondered if his hearing was going with a mental chuckle. He knew it wasn't and that the rabbit's speech just sucked. "Oh, nothing much~" he continued in a sickeningly cheerful tone, answering her question with ease. He could probably cut the tension she was giving off with his sword. He loved it when he creeped people out.
He tossed his sword up again and took a step back to catch it. He caught it in such a fashion that it was pointed straight at the Kyunru's face. With a flick of his wrist the blade was propped against his left shoulder. "A veeeerrry nice day!" he let the words just roll off his tongue. He crossed his arms across his chest, the hilt of his sword prevented from falling by resting in the crook of his arm. He now bore into the Kyunru's eyes with his own demonic ones. "It's a pelasure to meet ya too," he grinned wickedly. "But I aint got a name," He crossed his legs before him. It was as if he were sitting on thin air. And he was, after all.
Interest in their conversation returned when she asked him about how he had went 'poof'. He laughed. And this laugh was not friendly. Far, far from it. "Ya mean like this?" He disappeared, his colors blurring in the the air and then disappearing a fraction of a second later. Where he reappeared next she probably wouldn't fancy. His hooves gently dug grooves into her silver hair so he could keep his balance. He leaned his small body against on of her ears which he wasn't even as tall as. "You'll never know," he concluded with a chuckle. He walked forewards and bent down so he was looking into her eyes from upside down.
"Boo,"He said casually, not actually expecting to get a scare out of her. His eyes simmered like molten pools of gold. His right eyes' pupil, the only pupil he actually had, slit like a cat's as he grinned down at her.

Lost her way? Oh, no. She knew where she was. Sort of. "W-well... I'm here..." And home was over there sort of. Somewhere. She just had to go in the right direction. It wasn't too hard. Wait, why was she replying to a tone like that. It wasn't exactly something that comforted the alread nagging feeling in her stomach. Still, being polite was important. Especially when she wanted to avoid causing a tiff with someone that already gave her the heebie jeebies.
Nothing much, oh good. It could have been worse, much worse. things like, reaping souls, slaughtering the innocent, eating rabbits or things like rabbits. That would certainly have been worse to hear, definitely. A small akward smile tried to pry it's way along her face as she fought back the gnawing in her stomach. "O-oh. So the same." She forced what she hoped was a calm tone into her speech, which didn't last long. Rather, it left once again as that lovely little sharp object found it's way in her direction. Another few steps back as she contemplated mentioning the fun facts about sharp things being dangerous. About poking eyes out. About how she really, really didn't like that he had it in general and didn't want it in her direction. Though, it might have made things worse what with sounding bossy and all. She was bigger though. She should put her foot down, literally. She could stomp him cause he was so small, so why was she so afraid?
...because he was scary. How he talked, how he was... not sitting on air. That wasn't normal either. "O-oh. So what should I c-call you?" Because names were important, especially if she needed a name for the thing that she didn't like. Yes, communication helped with avoiding people, things, and monsters that were on the list of bad. Saying the orange haired Kun-Kun with a sword might not be enough.
Laughter, that was- not good either. She hunched down a bit at the noise, flinching as he vanished only to have a new can of worms opened up for her. Now there wasn't that happy little space of comfort. Nope, out the door, window, plane of existance. Because the slight weight and pressure that briefly rested against her ear. A basic response of the thing falling back a bit against her skull at the pressure, too late to off balance the Kun-Kun though, seeing as she already found herself starring at the thing that was now using her as a perch.
It took a few moments for the latest words effect to really sink in. Rather, she just stared mouth slightly agape for one second, two seconds, and then it begun. First a quick jerk of her head as she once more tried to draw back followed by a screech of fright. Then a few shakes before she bolted forward as if to escape the Kun-Kun. Wether the orange haired devil, as she saw him, was still on her head didn't matter. The only real thing running through her head was that new things were bad and she did NOT want to be around this new thing.
Her target soon proved itself after a few quick full speed circles and then a made dash for the bish she'd earlier poked her head in. A few quick huffs as she slumped to the ground once under the cover of the leaves and began dragging each paw over her forehead trying to check if he was still up there. "Bad, bad, evil, eaty, bad, demons gonna end world gonna-" Her mantra continued as she began to check the around to ensure that, infact, she was safe. Or at least to the point she could calm down and catch her breath.

"You can call me Ichigo!" His voice rose an octave or so as he proceeded to burst into a fit of manical laughter. Her expression was just hilarious. He nearly fell backwards laughing. He straightened himself up just before she began panicking. He hadn't expected her to take it that far. The jerk of her head sent him nearly tumbling of the side of her head. Luckily he managed to catch hold of her left ear before he did so. Clutching it and scowling he decided to get off the creature before she went completely bonkers.
He let go of her ear and kicked upwards. He then vanished and reappeared on the ground to the fright of the screeching creature. At her screeching he clasped his small hands over his pointed ears. His face twisted into an expression of disgust. He sneered heavily at Nairou. "Tch," Now he'd have to wait for her to be done her little fit. What was her problem anyway? So he had a sword and a creepy smile. And he was prone to fits of laughter. Everyone had their flaws! He grinned ominously at the thoughts.
He removed his hands from his ears and was pleasantly surprised she'd stopped screaming her fool head off. To think he'd simply appeared on her head and looked down at her. Usually it took more to get someone going then just that. He was obviously dealing with a scaredy cat. He rolled his eye. However, he detected a movement barreling straight towards him. Looking mildly surprised he noticed the Kyrunru coming at him, her destination the bush in which he had taken a position in front of.
The shock wore off only to be replaced by annoyance. How predictable. He disappeared and then reappeared above her head where she couldn't see him. He felt the rush of wind she gave off carress him as she passed. He shook his head and shifted his sword from his right shoulder to his left. He then reappeared behind the bush that the Kyunru was hiding behind. He could hear her mumbling within but could hardly make out what she said. About to enter the bush, he stopped himself.
Why get it over with when he could have some fun? He smiled dangerously. He then flash stepped his way to the front of the bush again. He had his back to it and was looking to and fro. It looked like he was searching for something. He was, of course. "Little bunny rabbit, where've ya gone?" He had to contain his laughter. He sounded ridiculous. He put his small hands on his hips and took a few steps forewards. "Come out come out wherever you are!" His voice was so sickly sweet it could make you throw up.
He began to walk around as if searching. He peered under a rock and then lift it up. "Not under there..." he sounded disappointed in a very saddistic way. He chucked the rock over his shoudler and into the bushes. It hit the leaves at an alarming speed. "Come and play!" He was keeping a very precise track of her spiritual pressure. If she decided to run he'd be on her heels as fierce as a pack of dogs tailing a three legged cat. Well, it was time to end the game. He was gone in a flash. It was time to reveal the rabbit.
He couldn't wait any longer. He appeared behind the bush again, hovering three inches above the bright green grass. His facade was the very definition of insanity. His eyes glowed with metaphorical black fire. He removed his sword from his shoulder. "Getsuga tenshō!" He raved, raising the black sword above his head and bringing it back down again. A crescent moon-shaped blast of black aura burst from it. Its outline was red as blood.
The attack spit forth hissing sparks of angry spirit energy. It was surprisingly large for the size of such a little Kun-Kun. It proceeded to rip into the bush. He had aimed to slice the mass of leaves right in half. He giggled madly, watching the havoc. He idly wondered if he'd hit the Kyunru. As it passed through it went into the ground and exploded. It wasn't too bad but tore up the grass and left a nice size hole in the ground. Because of the lack of a breeze he noted the smoke would probably linger longer then it usually would have.

Ichigo. Ichigo. So she did not like this Ichigo male. Right, she'd keep that in mind for future reference. Future meaning when she needed to explain why she couldn't be somewhere or was hiding behind something. Simply put, Ichigo was a bad thing. As far as she was concerned a bad person that was doing something she disliked could be said to be Ichigoing. It was not simply a name but a description and action. To be an Ichigo. Yes, a new universal word for bad. Which would someday confuse someone to no end, but that wasn't one of her larger concerns at the moment.
More important was the fact that this Ichigo thing seemed not to know where she was. It was calling for her now, not far away, but outside the bush. Through the slits in the leaves he was visable, possibly pouncable? Maybe she could try that stepping on thing...
No, he had the sword. She'd probably cut her paw, there had to be an option. She was bigger! She had to be able to do something. At least she thought so anyway. 'Not under there...' Well of course not, she was far too big to fit under a rock. Besides, rocks squished things and were too dark. She didn't like the dark too much either. Too much she couldn't see well enough in it afterall. The unknown just wasn't her friend.
Thunk! Both eyes shut as the chucked rock had found it's mark. She'd been afraid to move fast enough to dodge it due to the fact she would have made noise. That might bring attention to herself. So instead she was left rubbing a paw over her now sore noise, thankful that the Kun-Kun was small. Anything bigger might have done more than left it stinging. At least she'd been able to hold her tongue and not let out a sharp noise when the hit occured. He hadn't seemed to notice ye-
The thought was interrupted as she glanced up from herslight rubbing to find a rather empty space where the Kun-Kun had previously been. Not... good. She quickly shoved herself back to her feet, glancing around once more as the slight feeling of security quickly fled. A second later her only bit of warning came in the loud hollder from behind. Which was about all the kept her from getting seriously injured.
She'd quickly backed in the opposite direction of the noise, not sure what it meant. It caught her a vision of red as the blast came searing towards where she'd previously been sitting. It did cat her left forepaw slightly, as that had been the last part of her to exit the region. At least most of her body had been sparred a similar cut. Still, she did give a quiet whine as she quickly took any wait off the paw and hopped back a few more steps.
Any thoughts of actually attempting to ward off the small creature with her size was lost at this point. Her best bet was to get far away, or appease the thing. The latter seeming like it would require a bit more pain, agony, and death involved. So with quick cough to clear the bit of smoke from her lungs she quickly turned tail, choosing the first option. Best to run and live to fight another day. Although she wasn't exactly sure she'd be doing any fighting.
Of course, running wasn't too easy. Every step on her now injured paw stung, and hobbling on three didn't work we- wait... what was she doing? She did have wings afterall, working ones! After a few more hobbled steps with her flapping her wings she did manage to kick up, the twin pairs holding her wait and allowing her to make some form of an escape.
Now she just had to hope that Ichigos didn't know how to fly... but they could float so that hope wasn't too high.

Now came the fun of the 'hunt', if you will. Ichigo found a nice rock to sit on. Its smooth surface was quite comfortable on his small rump. The sun quickly set to work and was quickly being absorbed into the black cloth of his attire. He didn't take any notice. He laid his sword across his legs and grinned madly. He was letting the bunny rabbit run. Lure the prey into a false sense of security and then move in. It was a rather saddistic thing to do but Hichigo was known to be a saddistic Kunkun. He leaned back slightly and crossed his arms behind his head, the only thing keeping him from falling back. She couldn't escape him.
Confident of his own superiority, Hichigo tilt his head up and peered at the sky. There needed to be more cowardly Kyunrus around for him to 'play' with. It would be quite interesting if he ever happened to meet one who wasn't afraid of their own shadow. Well, either interesting or disastrous. And thus Hichigo continued waiting, sitting perfectly still. It was rather eerie how motionless he was. His face slowly became reanimated about two minutes later. It was mildly boring waiting. He shifted his gaze form the sky to the ground. He removed his hands from the back of his head to the edges of the rock he was resting on.
He kicked at the grass below with his small black hooves, consequently tearing it up. Ok, enough was enough. He'd given her her head start! With his sword tucked under his coat he leaned foreward and was running towards where he could feel her spirit energy coming from. He zoned out everything else in the world. His speed built up over time. Soon he was hardly a blurr. Hichigo was gifted with super speed, you see, as well as agility that far surpassed any animal's or human's. He leapt up and situated himself on a bench. The old and corroded wood groaned under even his small wait. It was obviously uncared for.
He hadn't traveled very far from where the bush was. He could still smell the smoke that was now hardly more then a thin spread across the area behind him. He looked up. The four winged rabbit was heading for the west and hadn't seemed to have gone too terribly far. But still a fair distance. He smiled, leapt up, and disappeared. He reappeared in mid-air and quickly disappeared. He was heading straight for the Kyunru. When he was three inches from her tail he again vanished. When he revealed himself he was right on target: the rabbit's nose. "Hello little rabbit," He snickered before quickly dashing up to her head, using her nose for a step.
Now he was again situated on top of her head. "Giddyup!" He bent down and grabbed hold of her hair, yanking two tiny fistfuls of it upwards as if he had the reigns of a horse. He wouldn't be caught off guard now. He was expecting her to panic this time around. He bent his knees and prepared for a struggle, all the while wearing the facade of a demon. Well, that was what he could be considered. A devil. The wind that was passing over him felt exhilerating. It tossed his orange hair about and made his tattered coat soar behind him like the wings of a raven. The robe's blood red interior revealed itself so it seemed all the more menacing.

The Ichigo didn't seem to be planning on following her, rather... it was still on the rock in that brief moment when she dared a glance backward. Thank whatever had given her such a blessing. She'd gotten away from him.
A few more quick flaps to drag her up to about the level of the trees around and she continued to fly along, musing over what to do about her paw. That'd hurt to step on for at least a few days. What a bother. Much worse, it might get infected. Certainly no adventures until it got better, yes that was a good reason to stay in. There was no guilt in avoiding things in order to retain her health. No shame in doing things for her own good. That was why running away from evil Ichigo things was the best option as well. All for the sake of survival and her own well being. At least, she had a reason this time.
She'd only just passed a tree and assumed her own safety assured, closing her eyes with a sigh before the now familiar voice caused them to open again. Ohnononono, that wasn't right. He didn't fly, he'd been left far behind he couldn't be- he was. Nairou eyes had flown open at the sensation of something on her nose accompanied with the speech only to see, to her horror, just what she was running from starring back at her. A brief silence as the reality of the new situation once more picked up gave an easy chance for him to run up her nose, both eyes closing instinctivly as he bounced up to her forehead.
Now, Nairou was somewhat compliant when in fear, somewhat, but the order wasn't what reached her brain. It didn't even compute, or couldn't as the matter was. Mentally the situation wasn't computing causing a stall in her motor skills. This affected many things, one of which was her ability to realize she still needed to flap her wings. A few moments after momentum slowed slightly thought kicked in again, mainly due to a new fear. Falling on her head. Still, the frantic flapping that began wasn't nearly as affective and despite her best efforts and double flapping she still earned herself an akward crach landing. Not that the few bruises she'd probably have stuck with her for long.
No, it was on her, it needed to be off. "Off! Off! OFF!" She quickly began screeching as she began rolling around on the grass as if she was on fire. Only a few quick motions before she drug herself up again, backing away a few steps eyes wide and alert until she hit the injured paw, then a brief wince occuring as she took her weight off it again. Where was it, where was the Ichigo? She just needed to step on it, then it'd be gone. Yes, like a bad bad buggy. That was it, just step on the thing and it'd stop chasing her.
She whirled around, as if believing the thing was right behind her, quite ready to jump at it if she saw. Running didn't work, hiding didn't work, then maybe if she at least tried to fight back it'd go away? Maybe... at least she was really hoping.

Nairou's actions were priceless. Man was this rabbit fun to toy with. Laughing madly as she panicked and they made their graceful decent towards the ground, Hichigo braced himself for the crash landing that was sure to come. Bending his knees slightly and clutching Nairou's silver hair the impact rolled through him without too much difficulty. He didn't have much time to react before she began to screech again. He let go of her hair to place his hands over his ears. "Shut up!" he barked. Not like that helped any.
When she began rolling around, Hollow Ichigo took evasive action. He moved down her neck to her body and ran. Imagine one of those cartoons where the bad guy is running on top of a spinning log about to fall off and be crushed. That is what the Kunkun looked like at that moment. Unfortunately he, and many other of his kind, were cursed with short legs so he had to work about three times as hard to stay on her. He supposed he could've just leapt off her but he wasn't really thinking about it at the time.
It was when she stopped did he loose his balance. No amount of flailing his arms around could save him from falling head over heels off the side of her. Tumbling into the grass he came to a hault at the base of a large rock. When he opened his eye he was looking at the world upside down, his breathing mildly labored from the running. It looked like her was doing a handstand but his shoulder were supporting him. His head lay on the ground. 'Hmphing', he carefully rightened himself. Now he was sitting crosslegged using the rock as a backrest.
His arms were folded across his chest and his gaze grew scrutinizing as it passed over the rabbit. It was then he realized he'd injured her paw. "Aww, the rabbit has a boo boo." he cackled, tilting his head backwards slightly. As it died away he shifted his weight from the left side of his body to the right. He was smiling. He made no attempt to go after her again. He wanted to see what she would do. Surely she had figured out she couldn't escape.

The whole scene might have been hilarious to watch. Certainly the view of the tiny Kun-Kun attempting not to be squished by the frantic rabbit would have caused anyone to laugh. Still, it didn't change the fact that Nairou was in a fear induced frenzy and the threat of being squished was just as dangerous for Ichigo. As real as swords were sharp.
What might have seemed like a small eternity for the two of them did end rather abruptly. What Nairou felt was minutes of rolling was, in reality, perhaps fifteen seconds tops. The whole act began and ended as quickly as her crash landing. She simply worked in quick bursts, filled with energy one moment, huffing the next. Which was likely why she'd been able to switch mindsets about dealing with the Ichigo once she'd finished her frightened escape process of pretending she was on fire. What was once entirely fear turning into a slight resolve. Escape wasn't working so whatever mental proccesses were left attempted to reroute all of that energy into something more useless. Like a desire to rid herself of the pest. Which made her ability to have a slightly underused attention span useful at the time being.
Her quick hunt for the creature did end when she settled her gaze on him as he spoke. Yes, she had a boo boo. She shifted her weight lifting the paw while glarring at the thing. Squishing was a good option, but there was a slight snag. One paw wouldn't do it, certainly she needed both. The problem was she didn't have both. Perhaps her hindlegs? Though that left him a chance at her again and it was harder to aim. He could teleport around afterall. That wouldn't do...
She was quickly losing that bright hope at dealing with her problem. Already the determination fading as quickly as it sparked. Such was her way, she wasn't very good at holding onto emotions and such for long. It just wouldn't do in such a sitation as this though, running didn't work. She had to try something else... something else.
She huffed slightly before taking a deep breath, trying to drag up her courage once more before speaking. "And it's y-your fault!" Oh, that went well. She actually sounded serious there, even a bit angry. So the next step was to say she would fight back. Come on now, listen to her long enough and stay with it. "And- and I'm not going to l-let you do it again." Alright, faltering a bit, but she said it. "S-so leavemealone..." The last bit was rushed and trailed off to nearly a whisper. Definitely not the impact she needed, but it'd have to do. "OrI'llstopbeingnice..."

He let her speak with that same old wicked gleam in his eye which was trained on her. He looked like a hawk eying its poor oblivious prey from high up in the treetops. It was very fun watching her squirm. Before she began her meaningless babbling he ran the tip of his sword into the ground in one fluid motion. It struck through the soft earth like a knife cutting through butter. Expelling his weight into it he hoisted himself to his small hooves, removing his beloved sword from the ground and tilting it over his shoulder. A rather menacing pose if he said so himself.
His ears flexed up ever so slightly when her words reached him. Was she actually making an attempt to stand up for herself? Oh that was hilarious. After she had trailed off he placed his left hand over his mouth in a very poor attempt to stifle his laughter. Slowly the vicious giggles grew louder and louder until he finally removed his hand. Then it erupted into the laughter of a crazy person. His voice rang across the still area and was surprisingly loud for something his size. "HAH HAH HAAH!" He proceeded to fall backwards rather dramatically and roll around a bit.
He wanted to show her how ridiculous she sounded to him. Oh he hadn't had a good laugh like that in a while. After what seemed to be an eternity and a half his mad fit of cackles and giggles finally haulted all together. He sat up, his eyes quickly seeking out Nairou in the very, very, very unlikely chance she was attempting a sneak attack or something. He smiled but the seemingly kind nature of it did not reach his eyes. He collected his sword which lay about one inch from his outstretched hooves and got up; this time without the aid of it.
"Oh I'll leave you alone," He purred, his grip on the hilt of his sword tightening. "WHEN YOU'RE D-E-A-D~!" He shouted in an insane sort of manner that made your blood run cold. They say that arrogance destroys the footholds of victory. Luckilu he hadn't ever heard that phrase. The Kunkun was convinced he was invincible and could easily take down the rabbit. His taunts were harmless, though. For the most part. "I'm right here, come and get me." He beckoned her closer with the hand not balancing his sword over his right shoulder.
"Or am I gonna have to come getcha?" He laughed. Today was turning out to be so amusing.

She honestly had to ask herself this as the Kun-Kun slowly drew up to his full height, which really shouldn't have been as intimidating as it was, why, oh why, couldn't they just do it in a way that wasn't frightening? Because quite honestly, she did want to hightail it out of there as fast as her little legs could carry her. It was mainly the nagging voice that told her 'THAT DOESN'T WORK' that kept her rooted into place. It wasn't as if she had some burst of willpower, oh heavens no. She just wasn't stupid enough to repeat the same things with the same person. She did use her head on occasion, she just didn't apply logic to things enough.
And why was he laughing? She honestly didn't feel as though the whole ordeal was a laughing matter. She had stood up for herself, so why was he laughing like a mad hyena, tossing on the ground. If anything the sheer madness of it all was what caused her to cower down, starring in shock and fear. This Ichigo was utterly nuts, out of it's mind. And she was stuck with it. Trapped in an ordeal with someone who's mind had long ago been handed to the devil in exchange for power. And that hopping teleporting ability. Oh yes... she had to admit that was the one she hated most. Because it made escape near impossible.
She flinched as he suddenly came to a stop, quickly spotting her where she'd hunkered down for the show. He did remind her of a snake about to bite, but even so... at least now she could understand him a bit. Far better than the mad creature that had been tossing on the ground only moments before. At least she was able to pull herself up to her feet again, looking almost as if she could possibly do what she'd earlier claimed. Not that her face was helping. Expressions were truly a thing that betrayed one often.
It did leavea chill running through her as the kun-kun shouted his response. Her stomach felt hollow and she truly did feel frozen in place. It was no wonder he had to ask if she'd be coming. She wasn't quite sure she wanted to try anymore. She fully believed the Ichigo planned to kill her, pure and simple. Off with her head. Or however he was going to do it. The way he acted it would probably be painful. She honestly didn't want to know. Not in the least.
She finally managed to shift lightly, one hind leg dragging slowly backwards as the urge to attempt an escape began to encircle her again, it was the only option wasn't it? To escape a merciless creature like that. She shifted her weight onto the previously moving leg and began to lift her other as if it was to follow suit. Then dropped it again. There was that nagging voice. Escape didn't work, her only hope for survival was to fight back. So that was to be it, a panicked fight, but something of the sort.
Without much thought behind if it was the right way to go about things, just a survival driven thing, she bounced forward as if to try and smash the little thing. All she needed was to knock him out. Or batter him. Something to keep him from following. Anything that would work.

Ichigo had taken to examining his hooves, idly leaning on his sword for support. She sure was taking her merry old time to do something. He kicked at the grass, sighing and rolling his eyes. What was ultimately a bad thing to do was to disregard her as a coward who wouldn't dare to do anything. Hence why he did not expect her to leap at him. He looked up just in time to see the now seemingly humungo rabbit thing come crashing down on him. Oh that was just great. The force of her paws on his chest caused him to loose his breath momentraily. He gasped a few times, now trapped under Nairu's paws. It was a wonder he hadn't been crushed! Once his brain had time to register what had occurred he let out a colorful stream of curses that would most certainly make a sailor blush. He was trapped. "Get off me you filthy rabbit!" He barked, wiggling against her grasp and making a very good attempt to bit her paws with his small but sharp little teeth. How the tables had turned! He hadn't expected something so bold from the scaredy rabbit. He cursed again and continued his struggling. Even though he was at the mercy of the Kyunru the Kunkun would never beg for mercy. That was one thing he was above.

Oh god, oh god, oh god... She'd actually done it. Jumped at the thing. Nairou was too busy gasping that she'd done it to evennotice it had WORKED. Or at least, too busy until she flinched at the harsh words coming from the thing under her paws.
Slowly her gaze fell down toward the Kun-Kun, who was less than pleased, mouth agape. She didn't know what HALF of that meant. Probably didn't want to either. Though the command did come quickly enough, one she might have responded to with an apology if she hadn't been so frozen. Which ultimately was for the better, afterall... as if an ICHIGO would listen to something like that. She'd have been doomed all the more.
"I-I..." She gulped, starring in horror as the little thing tried to bite at her. "I said you'd be in t-trouble if you didn't leave me alone." Not that she knew what to do now. She'd stopped him, that was good, but only until he got loose. Once again panic filled her head. Oh god he was soooo angry now. What would happen when he got loose? He's surely kill her that time...
Both ears fell against her head as she leaned down a bit, trying to look as fierce as a kyunru scared out of her mind could. "N-now you- you leave me alone..!"
