La petite de mort (The small one of death)

[olive]

Warm eyes fell upon the house as she stood, her arms by her side. Facing the ground, she debated whether or not to go through with it. Pulling an arm up, she held the other, biting her lip thoughtfully..

IT had been months since their last meet...It had felt like years..Yet even as she stood here, she could smell the young Kyrian..He was but a child..a young teen...His scent brought thoughts of her daughter to mind...

As you could guess, this woman was Dakota, and her little girl was Stacey, hidden away in the tallest tree she could find, fast asleep.

OUTOFCHEESE;;
I shall wait until Manespotter posts,then I will [nodnod]

Akira sighed pulling back to smile at Kyrian. "I know that Kyrian, but I can dream." He replied, his ears twitched catching the sound of a sigh from outside. "I wonder who that could be." He said to himself frowning. No one knew he had returned other than Kyrian, so who could the person outside be?

[&&[It's].MYUU]

Slender fingers played with the other neko's hair,twirling the silken strands around his fingers.Kyrian didnt notice any sounds that came from outside,he seemed to busy playing with Akira's hair.
Scooting forward slightly in Akira's lap,he wrapped his legs around the male;if he didnt want to lose his balance.
"Whats the matter,Akira?",he asked as he turned to look at him,with a frown of his own.

[manespotter]

Akira looked down at Kyrian, he smiled moving his arms to hand loosly around the neko's waist. "Nothing Kyrian, nothing is wrong. Thank you for patching me up, I would've been in a bit of trouble if you hadn't been here."

Dakota sighed..Her daughter had a right to meet her father...

Her hand rose, and a melodious knock fell upon the door..A knock that brought back memory's to her..His door was the only one she knocked in with such care..Such love...

[&&[It's].MYUU]

Smiling,the boy brushed his cheek against the other's,his arms still around his neck as he tugged him into a hug."Well,thats one good reason for me being here.I'll make a good doctor someday",he frowned upon hearing the knock.

Jumping to his feet quickly he moved away from Akira and wandered towards the door,sniffing the air.He blinked and took a step back,pausing in his steps.

"I thought you were alone,Akira",Kyrian mumbled as he smelled female.He looked at the male over his shoulder with a confused look."There's a women outside",he sighed.

[manespotter]

Akira frowned, he stood and followed behind Kyrian. "I am, the only other person who knows of this house is Dakota...but it couldn't be." Akira sniffed the air and frowned, he opened the door and gasped his ears going back and tail lashing behind him. "Dakota?"

[olive]

Dakota's cheeks became rosy as she looked at him. Her heart swelled as she looked at him, and her eyes immediately dropped, as did her head. "I ...I ah..." she froze as another's scent invaded her lungs, and her eyes trailed up sheepishly to Kyrian. "[/b]"Oh...I..I see..I'm um..I 'm truly sorry to have interrupted you.."[/b]

True..She was avoiding bringing up her daughter..and her love..but..she would have to put her love aside for now..He had moved on..

[&&[It's].MYUU]

The boy stepped back for Akira could open the door.He held his hands behind his back,shoulders hunched.He heard the other's sharp intake of breath and to his much dismay,utter the name Akira said who left him long ago.Kyrian's face held no emotion as he stepped to stand beside the neko-male,bright eyes locked on Dakota.Stunned by the women's beauty,he couldnt help but stare at her.
"Doll is pleased to meet the women who ran away from Akri long ago",he said with a forced smile,using the Atlantean word Akri;meaning "Lord" and "Master".
"You are not interupting..Doll was just leaving--".
The boy screwed up his face as he willed his ears and tail to vanish,making him look almost like a normal human boy.Turning to Akira he bowed his head."You'll probably want to catch up with eachother and all that junk adults do",he muttered,jaw clenched tightly together.
Brushing past Dakota he then looked up,his eyes straining in the darkness.His eyes turning into sharp slits.
Jealous?
Mm..maybe a tad bit.But no matter.He wanted Akira to be happy and now...he has that women back.
"Talk to you later Akira--".

[manespotter]

Akira watched Kyrian, he glanced at Dakota. "Wait a miniute." He said walking past her and to Kyrian, he pulled the younger neko of to the side. "Please don't leave me Kyrian, I...I need you here with me. I can't face Dakota by myself, please say you'll stay." He pleaded tears gathering in his eyes, he couldn't survive another neko walking out on him...he probably wouldn't survive Dakota's visit. She smelt different, she had his scent on her mixed with hers but he couldn't understand how that happened, nor what it meant. "Please Kyrian? Stay with me."

[olive]

Dakota was breathless as the young Neko moved past her. Master? Akira had never messed with slaves of any sort before..He was always so kind..He..He couldn't have changed..Could he?

Her eyes fell back to the floor as Akira went to tend to the boy..He hadn't changed..and she had obviously ruined somthing..She had known that returning was not a wise idea..What had she been thinking?

'I was thinking about how great it would be to see his face again..
To smell his scent again..
To touch his soft face again..
To run my hand through it hair..
To..to.."

Her thoughts were interrupted as she found a wet drop on the ground beneath her, and realized..She had let her tear fall..Emotion..Sadness..She didn't like to show sadness..

Her blue hair began to turn white, and earing could be seen in her ears as she began to morph into her other body..She was feeling insecure..She didn't like to feel insecure..She felt safe in this form..

[&&[It's].MYUU]

"I'm just ... going out for awhile",Kyrian blinked,looking up at Akira's distressed expression."Doll ain't leaving you",he assured with a smile,lightly patting the other's arm.

He casted a side glance at Dakota and smiled.Tilting his head back to the male he sighed."If your this worried that she'll eat you,fine... I'll 'protect' you",he said with a eye roll.

Shoving his hands into the pockets of his pants he sashayed over towards the female.
Kyrian watched Dakota as her appearance changed,he worried a lip between his teeth.

Leaning in towards the neko he blinked.He sized the female up with his eyes,a slim brow raised.
"Doll is sorry for you that you had to find me here....",he frowned as his eyes averted away from her,looking back at the house.

[olive]

Dakota's kind eyes never changed as the sadness flashed away. "No.No, you had all rights to be here, I'm afraid i am the one that doesn't fit." she said softly, eying the ground as she used her foot to cover her tear with dirt..Nervous? Yes.

"Doll? My Stacey would love to be called that..I'm sure she would love to meet you.." she said softly, a kind tone in her voice. Could he take her? She doesn't fight, so he might, however, the thought of her baby being without a mother would give her enough strength to protect herself, though she would never cause him harm.

[manespotter]

Akira moved to stand beside Kyrian, he frowned. "Who is Stephine?" He asked motioning to the house, he lead the two neko's into the living room.

[olive]

((Meant to put Stacey..meh ad. ^^))

Dakota's eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the ground."Stacey is ...um..the reason I left..." she said softly..She felt so dirty now that she thought about it..She didnt weigh up to either of the two before her..She didn't deserve him anymore...

Turning around sharply, she ran. As she ran towards the woods, her hair began to fade back to blue, and her dress returned to its usual color. As she reached the first tree, she stopped, and let the pain she had felt return as she looked at the tree..The same tree she had stopped at so many months ago..

[&&[It's].MYUU]

Kyrian blinked slowly as he looked between Akira and Dakota.He felt odd for being in the same room with the two adults,the tension between them was sickining.Twiddling his thumbs,the boy took afew good steps back from the other two and meerly just watched.
In the blink of an eye,the female ran from the house.

Eyes widening he leant forward as he saw the female-neko running towards the woods."Akira,you know some strange people i tell yah",he frowned as he straightened himself.Fixing his hair he sighed."I think,you should go after her,Akira.She's troubled".

[manespotter]

Akira looked at Kyrian, he frowned looking towards the way Dakota had run to. "You think I should?" He asked moving to stand beside the younger neko, he ran a hand through his hair sighing.

[olive]

Dakota finally stopped to catch her breath as the tears slid down her cheek. Slowly she began to walk, scanning every tree until she found it. The largest tree in the forest. The tree she and Akira used to go to..Every day to escape the troubles of..life..Her favorite place.

Looking up, she sighed. Her hair faded white again, her dress tightened and she returned back to the beast inside her. Shaking, she scaled the tree at an amazing speed. In a heart beat, she reached the top, and reached the sleeping bundle. Gently, she picked it up, holding the center of it between her small, but sharp feline teeth as she scaled back down to the floor, all at an amazing speed. When she reached the floor, she flipped back the edge of the blanket to see her baby's sleeping face.

Her hair gained more color as it turned blue again, and her dress lengthened, and loosened as she gently rocked the child in her arms. "Stacey..I'm..I'm so sorry..I..I couldn't do it.." Tears hit the blue blanket silently as she closed her eyes, hugging the sleeping child closely.

[&&[It's].MYUU]

"Yeeah I think your really should",Kyrian mumbled,saddness laced in his voice.Looking up at Akira he cocked his head,his tail and ears returning.Walking behind the older neko he started to push at him,making him go after the female."Akira,she needs you....didnt you see how upset she looked?..".

[manespotter]

Akira looked down at Kyrian and nodded. "Yes I did..." He sighed and nodded. "Fine I'll go after her, I want you to stay here Kyrian okay?" He looked down at the other neko smileing his tail swaying behind him gently.

[&&[It's].MYUU]

The young neko's nose twitched."Er...okay.....Doll will stay then",he said forcing a smile.He leaned slightly to the side and looked,looking past Akira to gaze at the dark forest.He worried his bottom lip between dainty fangs.He stood back from the Lord,head bowed,hands held behind his back.
"Doll thinks .....Akira's lady should come back ter t' house",he nodded and snapped his head up,starring at the older male."Doll will see ye in a little while".
