I slowly walked over to him, placing a hand on his. "Why didn't you tell me before? If you love something, you don't lock it up. You let it go, and if it comes back by itself, then it's yours..." I murmured softly. I glanced over at Satoshi, then back at Shadow. "Come with us..."
Calmly walking through the forest, with Mochi at her heals, Sakura peacefully went on a stroll.
"Pretty calm out here... that's not normal... well, haven't been here in forever so makes sense..."
She then heard voices. She NEVER heard voices, let alone the ones she heard "Voices. HUMAN sounding voices. Or... are they like me? Hmm... this we shall see right, Mochi? Shall we go?"
Mochi let out an agreeable meow, and stood against her legs.
"Then, let's go!" Picking up her cat, she raised one of her hands and black cloud-based substance came out around her with ghost - like sounds, and she floated off, then disappeared completely, shadow - like imagery wiping behind her.
Jason and his sister sat there on the ground, staring at the sky of pinprick holes in the black sheet of night. "Why are you sitting on me?" Ayumi growled. Jason stared at her, smiling. "Because...?" He smiled, getting off of his sister, causing her to growl. She stared at the sky with him now he was out of the way of her line of sight. They heard a small voice in the distance, causing their ears to prick up like animals.
"There." Sakura stood firm after reappearing. Mochi jumped out her arms and bolted, but Sakura called a halt on him. "Easy, small one. One must not
rush the prey, but scare it." The cat understood, and let her go past, following close behind.
She sent out her demons, and disappeared. The cat, followed the demons.
She then reappeared... in front of the strangers, demons snarling.
"Well, hello there. Nice to meet you." Her eyes went creepily red, and she had a blood curdling, evil smile.
Staring at her evil smile, he stood infront of his sister, placing his hands on the hilt of his katanas. "Helllooooooo." He murmured quietly, not spotting the demons or the cat. His eyes became birdlike slits as he stared at the person. His sister stood up, moving from behind her brother. "Hey." She nodded, staring at the odd girl... oddly.
(Yes.)
"Jason..." The boy muttered, hugging his sister.
"Ayumi." The girl muttered, attempting to punch the boy in the face. "Who are you?" They said simultaneously. "Who are you?" They said, mimicking her.
I felt the breath sucked out of mee as I landed on my stomach. Looking down, I could see the ground far below, a tiny dot that looked to be a cat. I gripped what I thought was a branch holding me up, but nearly fell out of the tree as I felt cloth between my fingers. I glanced up at Shadow from his lap, instantly feeling my cheeks heat up.
(Switching to a new format of text, not like Sakura said. Just I said, my, etc stuff now!)
Hearing a thud, Mochi looked up and started tree climbing. I noticed.
Looking up, I I saw what looked like a girl.
"First strangers, now strangers in trees?" I mumbled, shooting up in a flurry of black clouds, ferocious my cat and, more importantly, the girl.
Also going red, Shadow giggled, quickly jumping out of the tree. Satoshi teleported out of the tree. "Ugh... who's this?" He growled, staring at the person.
"Quit what? Quit what?" The two laughed. They had a terrible sense of humour, due to their parents unfortunately passing it down to them. They stared at the person. Staring at her eyes, the hooded boy began to speak. "Your eyes look like they're blood-filled balloons..." He grinned.
"Uh... Um... Hi...?" I had trouble forming words from the portal making my dizzy, along with the fact that she got up here so quickly. I pressed my black wings tightly to my back, appearing as if they were part of the strange designs on my jacket.
"Thanks! I take it as a compliment!" I yelled from above.
Then she looked at the guy and girl.
She did nothing but stare with bloody red eyes. The cat hopped up and brushed against the girl, meowing with joy.
He stared at her blood-red eyes, causing him to laugh. He stared at her, his eyes becoming blood-red as blood dripped out of them, the streams of blood pouring down his face. His shadow-coloured cat tail swished as he stared at the cat on the floor.
