Ark 17 Episode 36: The wolf and the Giselle



Thunrian: Kin had been trampling his way through the forested areas outside of district 2, Kasaihana had been pretty kind to keep this area up despite it being so old compared to the rest of the ever growing city. As he made his way over to his mothers he showed off his increased athtelesism from his recent training, and then his lycantrhope puberty like shift. He wore a jacket, with fur around the hood, gloves to keep his hands warm and baggy cargo pants. He wore sandals/ wooden clog like wear that old samurai wore back in the day. His wild black hair flowing in the wind as leaped gracefully from tree-top to tree top with his inhuman capability. It had been a friday night, and after Kin's failed attempt at asking a girl out he had been left with yet another lonely afternoon. The moon had been at a cresent. Meaning no forced transformations unless he had been pushed to a level of emotional distress. To everyone around him, it would seem as if his apperance had been changing constantly. Even though its been a few months within school, Kin's body has grown to one of a professional athelete almos with all of his training, he has a 6 pack and thick arm muscles that buldge out. His body was toned down like a beast now, a primal animal made and set for combat. His claws on his finger tips are always sharp now, with the strength to slice throug most forms of thick metals. And his sharp canines have the same ability as well. The cold fall air wisping across his face as he travled throughout the woodland area untill he finally found his mothers home, but something had been different... a home had been ear it. Right next to it actually... He stood on a tree limb, looking down upon it as his eyes glowed a bright gold within the darkness of the tree top surrondings around him. His nose twitched as he caught whiff of the unknown scent. ( http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140823160103/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/d/d5/Tumblr_mqkhgj1gef1rbnvk0o1_1280.jpg )

Giselle pushed the door open and headed to the front porch, letting it slam behind her. There was only one box left on the lawn from her moving which had taken the past two days. A smile danced at the thought of being almost done. The small little house was finally a home. It had taken her a few weeks of painting and scrounging around furniture for the house and cleaning, so much cleaning. Now it was distinctly hers, a little slice of Kasaihana where she actually felt like she belonged. Instead of picking up the box, she kicked off her shoes and plopped onto the lawn, not caring if she got the sweats and tee shirt she had been wearing dirty. She leaned back into the grass and looked up at the sky, taking in the moment. Perhaps the rest of her three years here would be bearable. At least she had her own escape. Her eyes closed and she inhaled deeply, trying to carve the memory and feeling of the moment into her mind. A snap of a branch caused her eyes to quickly peel back as she looked around the small clearing for the source of the noise. The trees that surrounded the area had several animals that roamed them and she just put her worry aside and leaned back into the grass. A few stray leaves that had turned and fallen to the ground seemed to blend in with the warm browns of her hair and made a slight crunch sound when she lie back onto them. Giselle wondered how different the seasons would be in Kasaihana than they were at home. Home, this was her home now.

Thunrian: Kin had watched her from a distance and finally realized that his scent hadnt been to well off. " Giselle." He said to himself, and without notice he'd leap from the top of the tree effortlessly. His body spiraling as he landed on the top of her home witout even making the slghtest churn of sound. He hit the roof with a light tap and soon flipped down thesides of the home before he finally made it to the front. He claw himself to the top of her home and with ease he had began to watch over from the short distance. Soon enough he'd flip off the top and land infront of her with a soft thud in the ground. His body skidding across the leaves and the such as finally made himself slow to a stop. By now he'd be infront of her... as majestic as any beast that would ever be formed like himself Kin had been a species of his own. ' Kaiju.' Is what the residents called him, the Kaiju monster. And its something that he had taken to himself. Not out of likeness but to remind him of what he had truly been. A Monster. Kaijumaru, had been his name amongst the people. " Giselle..." He said in a deep but still childish tone. His bright golden eyes would be the only thing she could see for Kin had tossed the hood over his head before he landed within her permieter. He tilted his head up, allowing his gaze to bore into her own beautifuly lit eyes. " What are you doing out here... I thought you stayed in town. " Kin responded as he stood infront of her, he had met her prior a few weeks back when he had lost the feeling in his legs. He became a myth around school because of that, yet no one knows just what Kin is. They dont suspect him to be the Kaijumaru that they all claim to be the terror of Kasaihana.

As Giselle lounged on her front lawn, her mind was traveling to places far from Kasaihana. She did not notice her guests arrival until he spoke her name. The sudden breach of silence caused her to pop up to a standing position, ready to fight. Her honey hues traveled over the form and she recognized it, however it took several moments for who it was to click. With that click, her body relaxed and an expression of bewilderment as to how and why Kin was standing on her front lawn. Then a feeling of slight guilt hit her for never checking on him after his injuries. The guilt caused a slight blush to creep across her cheeks. “Kin, I ‘ardly recognize you?” She said, even though it was a statement it came off more as a question. It crossed her mind to apologize, however she did not know how to bring it up, so she pushed the idea from her mind and instead answered his question. “I was living in town, but my ‘ost family was tres ‘orrible. They were not very ‘appy about us getting attacked. They thought we did something wrong.” A hint of anger flashed in her eyes before she shifted to a smile. “This is ‘ome now. I ‘ave been making it pretty. You are my first guest.” Her English had improved to the point that despite her accent, she could carry on a conversation at a normal pace and deciphering the words of others was no longer such a daunting task. “Where are my manners? Would you like to come in?” Without waiting for a response she grabbed his hand and started dragging him to the house, almost with a sense of pride in the little rickety building.

Thunrian: He had gotten drug into her home, it had her scent it was heavily coxaed in her scent. And ever since Kin had defeated Shun recently, he felt alot more comfortable than before, as if he knew his strength had truly increased. Which gave him a more laid back and relaxed point of view and feel over the way he carried on every day. It was odd, to know triumph. With Kin defeating Shun he was left with the Karate Club to himself, being a freshmen and running it along with all of the other students they didnt have much choice but to appoint. Although Kin is the only kid In the Karate club as of now, which he trains by himself every day. He's noticed that as long as he trains, and meditates frequently than he has a level of control over his chi, allowing him to control his transfomrations and shifts when he does enter them. Only once has been able to keep his full mental state when he had transformed completely but he was starting to notice that he could direct his anger towards things, and his wolf form would focus on it. Kind of like the incredible hulk. " Its nice in here, you wont worry about muggers around here huh. " Kin said placing his right hand on his hip as he looked around. " You should be more careful though, you barely even know me and you invited me in here. " Kin stated bluntly.

The livingroom, dining and kitchen area of the small house were all open, with flowing white curtains along the drapes and lots of wood details through out. It was a simplistic and minimalist decor. The smell of fresh paint filled the air, but it was mixed with a much sweeter aroma of some fresh cut flowers in vases, scattered through the room to brighten up the mostly white and wooden room. On one wall a few mismatched frames held postcards of France. When Kin warned her, Giselle’s face paled slightly and her cheeks blushed. “Mais Oui, I am so sorry. I wasn’t thinking.” In truth, she realized that she did not know Kin at all really, other than that one encounter. Perhaps because of the nature of the encounter she felt a kinship with him of sorts… however foolish that may be. She had just been so excited that she was finished moving in that she neglected to think about her safety entirely. Flashes of her host parents and the police’s reaction to the last name after the incident flitted through her mind. It was also peculiar how he showed up tonight. Still, she did not feel in danger around him. She rubbed her hands together nervously now, unsure what to say to break the awkward silence. After a few moments, she finally added “You look different?”

Thunrian: " I Uh... I've been going through some changes. " Kin said placing his right hand on his hip. Even though its been a few months within school, Kin's body has grown to one of a professional athelete almos with all of his training, he has a 6 pack and thick arm muscles that buldge out. His body was toned down like a beast now, a primal animal made and set for combat. His claws on his finger tips are always sharp now, with the strength to slice throug most forms of thick metals. And his sharp canines have the same ability as well. " You know its been awhile, its cool you didn't come see me, I was a wreck back then. " Kin said walking around the home picking up random photos. " You like it huh? " He said staring a picture that looked alot like his best Frieind Suzume. Being his best-friend, Kin holds her close to him. He'd Taco a Bullet, or a million or so for her to protect her from harm. When he is around her, he follows her around like a puppy. He doesnt quite know how to react at certain points but he's more comfortble with her than his own twin sister. He met her at school, before the transformation occured, where they dicussed comic's. And she had been the only one from there school to come and see him when he was placed in the hospital for a period of time. She is his best friend and most closest friend. " Ha, this looks like someone I know..." He said smirking before turning back around to face her. " So, how's school been for you? "

“I was really worried about you that night. There was so much blood.” Her words sort of trailed off as she watched him explore the place. “I ‘ope you are all right with the changes. I still should have visited or something. I tried the first night, but the nurse yelled at me and said only family.” She felt like she was making excuses and it was awkward for her to do so. Instead, she changed the subject back to answer his question. “The changes, they uhm look more uhm manly.” Her eyes shifted to the floor for a moment. She really had no idea what she was doing or saying and the whole situation had become rather awkward now that she thought about it. Mentally, she was kicking her own ass for being so silly and grateful he was trying to carry on with some sort of conversation. “School, hmm, It is good for the most part. My english is better now and it is not so hard. And, I can spend a lot of time in the greenhouse with the flowers. It is nice. It reminds me of ‘ome. In France, where I come from, they ‘ave flowers everywhere. In spring, it is all you can smell in the air.” She sighed slightly, “Most times I like flowers better than other people. You know exactly what they want and need, they react accordingly and they are nice to look at. They give you good feelings, feelings of ‘ope like even if everything is awful, the cherry blossoms still bloom and everything will get better. I am being a ‘orrible ‘ost. Forgive me, would you like something to drink.” Giselle had no idea why she had rambled on so much and felt slightly embarrassed by it, her body reacted to the embarrassment by giving a slightly shrug and her eyes drifted to the kitchen window instead of looking at Kin.

Thunrian: Kin nodded his head listening to everything she had to say. " Yeah your with the botany club right?" Kin said turning over to her with a sinster grin on his face. Though she wouldnt be able to see it seeing that she had been looking elsewhere. At any point if she had blinked Kin would have appeared in the Kitchen with the refridgerator open as his body had litterally shifted to one place to the other. " No your fine... I believe in getting things on my own. A wolf that doesnt hunt, doesnt eat you know. " He said pouring himself a glass of water. " Say..." He said tilting his head to the right. " Connor Ryoji, your in partner ship with him right? " He said walking around her sipping on his glass of water. " I want to make a deal with you. " He said tapping his chin. " Your going to leave his alliance, and Join mine. Orrrrrr.... I can show you how fast the human heart can beat within a minute. " He said to her, a subtle threat but a threat at most. It was like Kin's personality had shifted completely. Taking a sip of his drink all the while walking towards her, in attempts to back her into a corner.

It dawned on Giselle that this was a completely different man than the boy she had ran into on the street corner. It unsettled her slightly that he could have shifted so much in such a little time. His entire demeanor seemed to have shifted from prey to predator. Her fighter mentality began to click, and she assessed the situation. He had witnessed her fighting before, and she had kept up on her training the past few months as well. She had also seen his fight in the cafeteria so instead of using her body for the moment, she merely shifted her weight slightly on her feet, relaxing the muscles some in her legs so they would be more flexible. “You seem to know little about wolves Kin. Most of the pack does not hunt. Wolves, they take care of each other and each wolf has a role. Some are ‘unters, others protect the den. And wolves, they are loyal to those whom they owe a debt to.” Instead of backing up, she stood her ground and her honey brown eyes bore into his. “Yeah, I know Connor. He ‘elped me so in turn I ‘elp him. Your deal seems one sided, and rather more of a threat.” The room they were in was rather empty besides the couch and a small table in front of it, so there was plenty of open space if she stayed away from the walls. She could not afford to back up. So instead, her eyes narrowed, not looking away from his. “‘Ow fast does it beat?”

Kin has tilted his head up. Acknowledging the fact the she had been going into the defensive. He took notion of this aspect with ease because he had been in fact going on the offensive. A Giselle to a wolf. Unlikely but fated pair. Kin bared his fangs with a smirk before he lunged out to attack. He showed no remorse. Using the fruits of his Kaiju-Karate that had been meant to kill was now being used with an alternative method. You see he didn't want to kill Giselle. He simply wanted her to submit under his power. Even though she had been defense less to some extinct. He knew that this had been out of his natural nature but as for his primal one well that was a different story. Kin inhales and buffs his muscular strength with his pouring from his body for a brief moment, then he jumps at his opponent raising his right arm in attempts to delivers a powerful elbow strike thT if it connected smash into her shoulder dislocating it or fracturing the shoulder blade on impact. The leap had been a 1 foot gap and even with the muniscual distance it'd prove to be a bruiser. If the technique had been foiled however he'd land soon pivoting to the right in a defensive stance, and if it had connected he'd aim an swift 3 piece punching combination at her torso in attempts to beat her I to the wall. The impact of the beating would leave her torso cringing in pain with fractured bone, before ended it with an attempted round house kick that if connected would leave her knocked out against the wall.

Giselle doubted her heart was beating at all in that moment. Time seemed to slow to almost a stop as Kin lunged at her, his fist flying towards her with almost inhuman speed. Giselle did not have enough time to fully dodge the punch. Instead, she began to lean back and pivot away. The backwards motion of her shoulder worked to soften the blow. Pain still ripped through her and she heard the distinct pop of the joint, her fist clenching and her eyes watering. It was merely dislocated and she did not need her arm to fight so she put the pain aside. Adrenalin was now pumping through her in response to the situation and the pain, dulling it some and allowing her to react better than she would in normal conditions. Her pivot continued for almost a full rotation, but angled to the side so that she now stood facing Kin, but off to the side slightly so that any forward hits would not come in contact with her body. It amazed her that he was able to throw such a hard punch with such little time spent training. The action of her leaning back and spinning took only a second and she refused to allow him any more time to smash her form that was far weaker than his. She could not take another hit like that. She recalled how nervous Kin had gotten when he had bumped her before and her lips curled into a smirk. Her next move was more reckless than she would normally make but she had already weighed the outcome of the fight in her mind and standing toe to toe would not be good for her. So without wasting any time, she leaned in and attempted to grab his collar with both hands, guiding his head towards hers. If he allowed the motion, her lips would land against his. The kiss itself would be aggressive as her lips pressed into his parting slightly. Throughout the kiss her eyes stayed open watching his reaction and her arms slid around his neck, as she angled her head and upper body slightly to the side, putting her back away from the walls nearest to her. If he let the kiss continue for longer than three seconds, her knee would swiftly raise as she attempted to force her bony knee cap into his lower abdomen. It was a dirty trick attempting to catch him off guard, but if it gave her a few seconds to adjust her position...she might actually have a chance. If her knee connected, she would leap back and take two more steps. Hopefully Kin would now be closer to the wall than she was and about five feet from her. Her shoulder screamed at her and she pushed the pain away as best she could mentally. With her new position, she took a defensive stance and was ready to kick at will.

Kin went in for his attack. He had been confident in his skill. After his succes with shun. And due to this he thought he had been ready. Even though he felt iffy about this Connor had been his enemy. What other levels of justification would he need? However when he struck. She'd lass out with an attack even his enhanced senses couldn't foresee. She had kissed him, to the point where his cheeks burned with a hellish red. His first kiss... Although it had been of off events and rather unexpected in general. The moment was short lived, the kick she sent into his lower area made him cringe In pain as he dropped down a bit before he caught his footing. She had backed up a bit, with slanted eyes he pulled his fist back up. " Dirty... " he said charging back at her, coming in with a swift 6 punch piecing combination. Three right hooks, aimed for the face, two straights with the left aimed towards the torsos lower half  and then one kick aimed at her ribs. And to end the punch combination the last strike had been an opened palm strobe to her mid-section. Each strike had bond crushing and bond fracturing impacts that would surely render her beaten and broken with the strict formula of Kaiju-Karate. If his combination had been broken however he'd jump back, resting himself back into his stance leaping back by a full 3 feet of distance between the two.

Giselle’s shoulder throbbed and she fought to put the pain aside as she stood ready for Kin’s next move. Dirty? she thought…. what did he expect when he randomly started throwing punches at her. Giselle was light on her feet and as he came charging at her, she brought her right leg up and pushed her foot out so that it would hopefully connect with his sternum, stopping him in his charge. If the kick was successful, the entire sole of her foot connected creating an even amount of pressure over the entire sternum, hopefully with enough force to stop him and knock the wind out of him, even for a second. That would be all she needed to drop her foot back down and push against the ground with enough force to bring her foot around in a round house kick aimed so that the side of her foot smashed into his jaw. She had no idea why they were fighting and what Kin had to prove, but even though she was weaker, she was going to defend herself to her best abilities. She had been fighting for so many years, and while those had all been in matches at competitions, she still had a fighter’s mentality and a fierce competitive streak.

Kin would have smacked her foot away as he charged at her, if he had been of normal orgin this type of attack measure would have worked on him. Before Keyth Tasanagi. The Tasanagi family had always been plagued with the possessions of oni's within their family line. However after Keyome Tasanagi defeating the families oni. It's broken form went into the strongest relative closet to him. His son Keyth Tasanagi. Keyth Tasanagis soul devoured the Oni spirit before he was even birthed due to it being beaten into submission by Keyome. After years the ONI grew with Keyth and the once powerful demon,  became one entity with the human. Half ONI, half human but a perfect mix. They became one. A new race was made a new physiology. The Tasanagi family after this point was altered. Keyths children are the exact same thing that there father is. A humanoid oni in it's purest form. So with this Tasanagi Physiolgy has the same exact perks as the Onihoruda abilities. However unlike the onihoruda physiology the Tasanagi Physiology does not need an ONI. They are the Oni. However all decadents after Keyth can only tap into there ONI ability if pushed beyond there human limitations. Or after a certain point and age in there lives. However when he approached her and she attempted her kick at him he would have used his right hand to simply push that leg away all the while charging at her still. And with is free left hand he would have swiftly went to grip hold of the smaller females throat. If he had been successful he'd start to raise her high into the air choking her out abit. " Im done playing with you... " He said showing her his inhuman strength as he pressed his right knee into her stomach so if did try to kick him it wouldnt phase him much. His eyes began to glow a bright red as he scowled at her. If she made eye contact with him she'd feel her body go numb. It would have almost been Orgasmic as he stared into her eyes forcing her into a trance like state."... Your going to leave Ryoji's Alliance... and your going to Join mine... Do you understand...?" Kin said pressing his hand a bit tighter around her neck. The Trance would have been like a stabbing sensation in her head that would have sunk the thought deep within her head.

Giselle had not expected him to brush away her kick with such ease. It caught her completely off guard and it was too late at that point given his fingers were now tightening on her throat. She let out a groan of pain as his grip jostled her shoulder. Her eyes watered and her hands clawed at his arm trying to do enough damage to get him to release her. In desperation, her eyes flicked to his, almost pleadingly. Her eyes went wide as his glowing eyes bore into hers. The pain was gone as was all other feelings except a hazy feeling where her thoughts felt foreign and not her own. Her fingers stopped their desperate clawing and her arms went limp at her side. In that moment, Kin was a deity to her, a supreme being, and she had the urge to give into what he was asking. Giselle had no idea if the urge was of her own free will, but it clouded out everything like a voice screaming in her head. His hand tightened around her throat, cutting off the little oxygen that she had been getting, causing her chest to rise and fall rapidly as her body tried to compensate for the lack. Her already hazy mind was even more foggy as a euphoria washed over her, almost as if she were high. The image of Kin before her began to blur, causing her to blink in an attempt to see straight. Part of her wanted it to stop, but part of her was lost in the sensation. Giselle struggled to form any words in response to his questions, the words were there on her tongue but she forgot how to make her lips move. Finally, she gave a weak nod in agreement.

[3:26:51 PM] Keyo: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m0IUJS-LOY ) " Good girl..." He said in a gruffed tone, finally letting her go so she'd drift down to the ground. His eyes simmered back down and with it, her mind state would return though the feelings of servitude under Kin would still be there, like an ever growing flame that burned constantly. " I want you to server all ties with the Shenpaku Federation. You work for the Sy-..." Kin cut himself off, looking at himself for a moment. And he could see was the monster hugging tightly to his body from a distance, suffocating him in its embrace. Had he become the monster that his heroes in his comic booksfought? Or was he the hero... trying to prove to the world of his innosnce. It was all a shade of grey to him now. " You work... for the Kaijumaru Syndicate now. " Kin said crossing his arms. " I'll have some of my boys pick up some things from you in the mourning. I need a plant, that can create some form of knock out gas. I dont know if there is such a thing, and if there isnt. Make them... I need this for things to come. A Set of 30 as soon as you can. I'd give you a deadline... but even then im not that cruel. " Kin said turning his back on her, walking towards the door. His fingers gripping tightly to the door knob as he turned it. " Also... dont let strangers into this nice home again..." He said turning back around to face her for a moment. Taking a card of out of his inner jacket pocket it had Kin's cell phone number. " When you need me... call me. " Kin said tossing the card by her feet. " I'm Not the bad guy Giselle..." He said but it seemed as though he was more so trying to convince himself more than anything. He stepped out of the door, leaping back into the trees to make his dash further out into the forrested areas.

Giselle’s slender form crumpled to the ground and the foreign way that her thoughts had felt slithered away and was replaced by confusion, anger and the consuming pain of her shoulder. The skin already had began to darken into a purple splotch where his fist had connected. Her body seemed to freeze in the heap on the floor as tears welled up in her eyes. Perhaps it was the pain that had gotten to her, or maybe it was the emotional turbulence that was swirling in her mind, like a tornado that was ravaging wildly. None of her thoughts seemed to connect and she could not make heads or tails of them. She was angry and had no idea why, and the pain just wouldn’t stop. Not a word was said in response to Kin as he left. The clock continued to tick and the sound of the second hand seemed almost in tune with the throbs of her pain. The seconds bled into minutes until finally she could no longer take the pain. She pushed herself off the floor with her good arm, the other dangling at her side oddly from where it no longer connected to the joint properly. Her fingers gently traveled over her shoulder blade, feeling where it jutted out and she winced before inhaling sharply. Wrinkles formed around her eyes as she shut them tightly and held her breath before her nails dug into the tender area and she jerked her arm forward. A cry of agony filled the air and she almost lost her footing before a wave of nausea hit her and she vomited on the floor from the pain. Dizziness swayed her and it took several seconds before she was able to open her eyes, moisture still clinging to her long dark lashes as she fought back tears. Almost as if she was afraid to check her fingers danced along her shoulder blade, like any sudden movement would cause them to pull away. The breath that she seemed to be holding in her chest came out in a long sigh as she realized that her bone was not jutting out like it had been before. Giselle glanced around the small house and a crease formed on her brow before she went about cleaning up the place and erasing all traces of the fight. Her actions seemed almost mechanical, void of any and all emotions. Pain still surged through her, however, it was much milder and a bearable sort of pain, like a dull ache. As she cleaned, the names of plants scattered through her mind as if she was cataloging them and searching for an answer to Kin’s demand. A plant to create a knockout gas. Every time she tried to shake the thoughts from her head they returned driving her towards that goal until she finally sat down with countless books on botany spread out around her and began to pick through the pages. There were countless plants to cause unconsciousness… but how does one make them into a gas?
