Ark 25/Episode 01: Two wolves

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1QUZzeZoPQ ) " Alright K... Hands up. " The young dark haired male stood before the edge of a cliff that ventured off into a dark canyon abyss. " We know you killed our boss two weeks back. We just wanna know... how much was he worth. How much they pay you for..." Kin stared out at the gang of men whom had him at gun point. " About... 500 tanz. " " Thats it!? " " Yeah... he was pretty small time after all. " The young Tasanagi said as he tilted his head up with a smirk on his chisled face. His name? It was Kin Tasanagi. Heir to the Kagemaru clan, and provennce of all District 1. From a city that no longer exsist's. Those chilling golden eyes of his scanned over the men and they scanned him back. " IM GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM! " The leader said taking a step forward with his weapon up and drawn. The SMG styled gun's lock on aim system poping out of the side of the gun as a digital visual visor to assit his aiming. " IM GONNA FUCKING SMOKE HIM! " He said taking a step forward before another one of the men assualting the 20 year old Tasanagi would have pulled him back. " Do you know who this guy is!? Dont get close to him! That's Inugami... AKa Wolfbane... The Dog Demon. " Kin simply stared at the clique as his sharp teeth began to show as he grew into a further aggrivation. He wore a duster styled outfit, a brown trench coat that flowed in the wind, along with his brown scarf. A Scar sat over his right eye from a wound given to him about two years in date as of right now.

" Guys..." He said with his scruffy tone as he took one step forward, however a bullet would have met the sand, centimeters away from his right steel toe boot. " Not another step god dammit! Demon Dog... We know who you are. The killer of thousand. The Man killer, The DarkBeast of Kasaihana..." Kin simply stared at the man as his eyes began to shift into a bright gold. " Dont even try it bud! You try using that chi mumbo jumbo, and were putting two in your head! We tracked your moon cycle, we know your weaker on this paticular night and we tend to take advantage of it. " Kin scowled and allowed his eyes to shift back into a bright gold as he pushed his right foot off the edge allowing it to hang. " Forget this boys! Lets fill em up with lead! " As the trio began to let out there rapid fire Kin would have simply taken the shots as his body had been littered in bullet holes before he drifted off the edge of the building with blood exploding from his wounds as he drifted into the abyss. The trio, happy and hardy now rushed over to the edge of the cliff to reassure there kill. " HA HAAAAAAAAA WE GOT EM BOYS, WE GOT THAT SON OF A BITCH! " Before the lead one could continue his banter, a shirtless Kin would have blasted backoff into the air in a wolf out like form! This is Kin's most common wolf form. In this form, Kin develops claws that are sharp enough to penetrate through many forms of metal, concrete and other dense materials, sharp teeth, and an increase in strength. He also gains red eyes and fur growing from his face and arms. Kin uses this form when he has to fight Oni's or even Humans that are stronger than his own human form. Kin may also use this form to perform executions of other Oni's or Humans. It's rare that Kin uses this but at the same time when he does he typically means busniess. As he blasted off into the air the trio eyes would have extended and almost in slow motion they would have all attempted to run away, in a failed attempt to reach safety. However... as the trio ran the half wolfed out kin would have landed on all fours, and within moment the blood had spurred from the severed bodies. One's arm removed, another mans face was bitten off, and then another head removed from his body entirely. As Kin slowly stood with blood leaping from his maw he shifted back to his normal form as he whipped the blood from his lips and popped his neck left to right. He pulled the bandits clothing off of them and placed it onto himself as he made his way out into the desert. " Im sorry it had to end this way, See you all in hell. " Kin said tilting his head back looking out at the bleeding and dececrated corpses, it almost like admiring his own art. " Hmph... He would have said with his hands in his pockets and his head down.

' My Name is Kin Tasanagi. And Im? A Bounty Hunter.. Im with this group called ' Local Help. ' We call it... LP.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETju6vL4FyY) Sand rolled over the wind like waves on the beach; thick and fast. Skylanders were used to this, however, their clothes and houses made sure the wind stayed off them and on the wind. And on this morning, a single village girl was the one kicking dirt into the air. She was running away from a burning village, cow’s skin adorned her body, with special markings all over the dress, feathers on her neck, arms, and legs, and headdress that reminded those, who looked upon it, of demons. The men chasing her were slave traders, corrupt Skylanders who were only in for the money their people produced. This girl was their prisoner for awhile, but she had finally escaped, again. This had been about her fourth time being captured by them.

Once she got out of the trader’s village, she stopped, and turned to them. They all kept coming, unaware of how the girl’s eyes changed color as they came closer. Once there were four men chasing her, now, they were only carcasses. A lone wolf stood among them, grey in fur, gold in the eyes. The wolf took off back to the village, ripping up any trader it saw and releasing the slaves, letting them free. The village was evacuated and set to ruin.

That was ten years ago, but for Tsukimi Hatchin, it was her crowning moment. The slaves came back with her, to her own village, and joined the tribe. Tsukimi was named Leader of their small village and proclaimed “Protector of the Slaves”. They gave her the name, Grey Wind. Her attacks were like the wind on the sand; quick and fearless. Grey was the color of her wolf’s fur. She never went by her real name since then, and has always kept a watchful eye on the land. The desert became quiet over the next few years, and Tsukimi wanted to catch someone, so she could feel the rush of catching prey again, however small of a victory it was.

Laying out a jeweled chest, she filled it with pearls, rubies, and emeralds. Leaving it in the sand, as she watched from her high dune. She dug her nails into the sand and waited. The sand tickled her back, made her lips dry, and teased her hair; the wind had a mind of it’s own, she had often been taught. It messes with the minds and hearts of foreigners, and only could they make it through the desert if they had the wolf's blood in them, or had a Skylander guide. Tsukimi stood up and sniffed the air; blood. A large amount of it, spilled on the sand. She didn’t dare go look, she had a trap to watch, but her nose twitched. It was a foul stench.

Kin Tasanagi: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deUa4u00beU ) His obsidian black hair would have drifted in the wind as he continued his trek across the cursed lands of Skyland. The Nuclear effects of WW3's fallout had long passed but its weight on this contienet still shows. Mutated animals, slavers, bandits, murderes, you name it. Kasaihana was bad... but this place? It was the closest thing next to hell. As he treked through the sands he could feel the sun beaming down on him, his leather jacket cooking him almost as the heat abosrbed its way through the fabric. Kin had those dark golden eyes focused out on the path ahead, sweat trickling down his chin and over his face as he continued his pressing walk forward. "... Damn it.." He said dropping to his knees as he gasped for air a bit. The bullet wounds he had gotten were healing slowly... but slowly indeed. If it werent for his Killian blood... he'd be dead for sure. Kin's Mother Kyoko is of the Killian Race and his Father a full blooded Oni. He is far from your average Human. Kin's Oni blood meshes deeply with his mysterious Killian blood and work with each other. Okami placed a curse on Kin, in attempts of getting back at The Tasanagi family when Kin was 16 years old. The Curse gave him Lycanthropy which depending on your Bond with Okami can be a burden or a gift. However due to his Killian blood, the moon empowered him which was also the main factor that Kin was oddly enough Able to control the so called Curse that Demon had laid upon him. Because of the two Linages and Kin being a Stage 3 Onihoruda he is no what near a human anymore, him and his sister creating a new breed entirtly. However the Tasanagi blood within him in terms of Oni's show's true. It is because of this that when Okami's true power was restored that he grew a new set of Horns at the top of his head that he can regulate when they can come out or not. And that he has the same elf styled ears as those within the Killian race.

His eyes continued to stare down at the sands until he came across a chest of some sort. He allowed his Killian Oni senses to lock onto it as he studied the chest from afar. " This is a trap... its tottally a trap..." He said looking around for the owners of the chest before he made his way over to it. Squatting down to open it, he looked over his shoulder once more, and then to the right and left only to proceede to open the chest to look at what had been inside for himself. As his gloved hands studied the chest he'd feel its texture first to make sure it hadnt been rigged with some form of explosies, old bandit tricks and all. They'd do anything to get a kill even blow up money and jewerly. It was a pretty good concept if you think about it. It was called the ' Money load' You get a chest, place a bunch of valubes in it and set it up so your target looks inside. The Valubes are never worth as much as how much the contract. So its like investing, giving a little to get alot. As kin studied the chest and realized it hadnt been rigged to blow. He'd rub his stubble on his chin before he'd creek it open to view the insides. " Jack.. fucking pot.." He said smirking as his eyes slanted while he began to stuff the artifcats into his pockets, loading his leather jacket with all sorts of goods. " Ha! Sorry whomever this belongs to but im gonna need a bit of money to get some provisons next town i get to! " [6/6/2015 11:22:50 AM] Grey Wind [Maskie]: It didn’t take long for Tsukimi to spot the man. She watched him, and made sure he was really going to steal the jewels. She would not harm an innocent man. When he started putting them in his coat, the tribal woman was on him like a magnet. She lunged at him, only to scare him onto his back though. She held a Skylander knife at his neck and all her beads dangled around her neck, clicking together. She glared at him with her sunset eyes, and reached her free hand into his jacket, taking the jewels and throwing them behind her.

“You steal from something that was not yours. I should cut off your genitals and sell them to a trader. I heard coward’s dick is high in price these days. Makes a wonderful stew,” she threatened, “Now, who do you work for? The slavers? Traders? Maybe the Dalthraky!”

She tried to contain her blood lust, she could feel the blood inside of her boiling and her nails started to itch. She was emitting her aura, and if she wanted him to talk, she would have to hold off on killing him for awhile. Tsukimi took a feather from her hair and brought it to his cheek, scratching him with it, and placing it in her shoulder pouch. “I need your blood in case you escape. I can track you easily then,” she told him, putting away her knife. She sniffed the air and realized that the blood stench was coming from him. He was a killer, and a messy one. She kept her guard up, put picked up the box and broke it, throwing it into the sand. No evidence of anyone being here, that was the Skylander hiding tactic; you destroy everything you leave behind so no one can track you. There were many wolf blood’s out there, but none as sharp as Grey Wind.

Something was off about this one though. His ears and heart rate were much different than any normal human’s, and it caught her off guard for a few seconds. Taking into consideration that he might be wolf’s blood as well. She was in for a fair fight if she had ever had one.

Kin Tasanagi: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r4QqHUk0Cs ) She had caught him, but not off gaurd. He had picked up on her scent before she even placed that blade up to his neck. But he allowed her to do. Control was his game... As she pricked him for his blood he hadnt said a word, the wind blowing his hair with a breeze as his golden eyes locked onto her orange ones. " Hair. " he said taking a prick of her own when she placed his blood somewhere on her person. " It works better... if your tracking by scent. I could go 4 to 5 days without shedding any blood, then you wouldnt be able to track me. But hair folecules are all over your body. You'll never get rid of it all. Making it a constant tracking device... its pretty clever huh. " He said smirking a bit. " My names Kin Tasanagi... " He said staring her down. " And I work for no man. " His voice had been scruffy, and hardened. His eyes could tell a tale if they could speak and his face seemed tired yet aware of everything. His stubble on his chin signified his age. He was only but 20, but his demanor spoke of a much older, and wiser soul. Once she would have pulled the knife back he would have rose up with a uppercut in hopes of slugging her across the jaw just hard enough with his right hand that she would be skyrockted to the ground a powerful strike that would surely and truly knock her seneless. Due to the speed of the uppercut the impact would have surely knocked her off gaurd long enough so they could build some distance amongst one another and Kin could stand. If it hit or not he would have kicked back by a full 4 feet getting into a Martial Arts stance. " I need those jews... there gonna get me next meal once i reach High Tree Village... I dont like to steal but your gonna have to cough em up lady. Finders keepers..."

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi felt the fist as it connected with her jaw, she did indeed fall back, but not as much as he would have expected. She stumbled back and touched her jaw, her surprise wiped away with a smile. So he was of wolf's blood, that she was sure of.

"I don't like to murder my own kind, but I'll have to ask the gods to forgive me this one time. It won't happen again," she taunted.

At one moment, the wind was blowing one way, and then it changed immediate direction as if something pulled it the other way. Tsukimi started omitting her wolf aura, her once seagreen hair was now turning to grey, large ears sprung from her head, claws came from her nails, and her feet turned into canine back paws. She gave the man and toothy grin, flashing her sharp whites. Tsukimi lunged at his side, but instead of attacking, she kicked up sand into his eyes and darted the opposite way, reaching out her leg for a back kick to his jaw, and hoping she would hit her target. A strike meant not to wound, but to distract, just like he had done to her.

Kin Tasanagi: His eyes widned when he saw her change infront of him. "... Your cursed too..." He said making a refernce to what he had been. The Cursed and Damned tained with the blood of an angry wolf spirt. The founders of all those wolf blood lived within him. Onigami Okami... " Tch!? " His eyes had been flared off as she threw sand in his face. ' Damn Skylanders... never fight fair..' He thought to himself as she attempted to catch him across the jaw. However... his senses would have flared as he caught whiff as to what she had been attempting with something he called ' Wolf Sense' Through marital training. Kin has used his genius and his dog like sense's to create a counter measure against those with superior speed and fighting a hidden opponent. Using all of his sense's at once It gives a Kin a near 360 field of vision Using his sense's it gives him an increased sense of awareness. Which helps him in a lot of ways within his 360 field arond himself. Using the element of the Sekkiuken techniqe to push this base to a further extent. He also has the ability to automaticlly see a 50 meter field of vision around himself which can be extended through training. This instinct mode is also able to see through solid objects and smokescreens, even through most barriers. It can also differentiate between non-corporeal forms. Using this involuntairy his instincts would flare and create an non-corpoeral form to combat the one that was made against him. Kin does this as a counter-measure and cannot do this on his own. With his instinct's he's able to see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight. This being stated it allows him to see enemies and civilians through any layout and predict their movements. It also shows points of interest such as objects that can be used to stage accidents. So when the kick came his way he would have caught her by her foot and if connected he would have held it there opening his eyes finally to look at her. " Thats dirty..." He said pushing her foot away so she'd spin and her back had been facing him, and within those few seconds he would have sent a drop kick into her lower back with both of hls legs, causing her to go tumbling forward by 10 feet. He stood finally once and if it connected after rolling 3 feet away. " So... your cursed too..." He said staring at her with a scowl from a distance as his clothing blew in the wind. " Never met... someone like me before..."

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi was grabbed and thrown, sent rolling through the sand, she laid there, reeling in slight pain. She got up and growled at him. But he stopped, her ears twitching. "Cursed? You call having this kind of power a curse? It is a blessing! Given to me by one of the most honorable men my mother knew! The blessing of the Wolf Gods," She spit blood from her mouth, "Direwolf blood. It's uncommon among us wolf bloods," she told him through her large canines.

But she wasn't done fighting. She got on all fours and shed her human skin, growing fur and a wolf like face. She had completely transformed into a direwolf. Tsukimi stood there, staring him down. Her tail swished and she ran at him, full speed, but purposely didn't attack just got up right to him.

Kin Tasanagi: Kin would have simply stared at the wolf as she travled over to him. His eyes training themselves on her location as if to keep up. However once she had reached him he would have attemtped at digging middle and index finger down into her snout, and pushing up as if to place her into a submissive postion. Gravving a dog in there nose was one of the most painful expreinces they could ever feel,so imagine it amongst a massive dire wolf. As he tugged the snout up he would kept that scowl. Keeping a level of eye contact amongst the two of them. He hadnt transformed himself quite yet, finding himself marveling at the being before him. He didnt...feel alone anymore. For the first time in awhile however he would disregard this feeling before he tilted his head up. " Of course its a curse. My life ever since ive gotten this power has been shrouded in misfortune. Everyone I know dies. Its...kind of funny actually. " He said smirking showing his own sharp canine like teeth as he barked back at her, his eyes shifting into a bright red from there previous gold. " I want that chest.. and im gonna give you two choices. " he said tilting his head up, staring into her own eyes. " Your going to help me find this man. Known as the Bandit king, one of me and i can track him. Two people with powers like ours we'll find him before tomorrow breaks. Help me... and Ill cut you in half of what i make. And you keep your stupid chest. Or... I kill you... and take it for myself and leave your carcas here for the vultures..." He said keeping eye contact with her. His claws had been extended. Unlike her... today was a half moon. He couldnt use the full power of his curse unless it was the full moon. It was possible to tap into it, but at the expense of unbearing exhaustion. " So what do you say... you gonna help me? Or do I need to kill you..." He said tilting his head over to the right.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi ripped her snout away and scratched his face, rearing back. She reverted to normal and wiped her now bleeding nose. She breathed heavily, her hair and ears shriveling back to normal.

"If you fucking do that again, I'll chop your balls off and feed them to my people," she warned as she began picking up her beads and feathers, "Why are you going after the Bandit King?" She was slightly nosey, but not enough to be even remotely interested. Tsukimi looked at him and tapped her nose again, that was a low blow, and she didn't know how none of her attacks landed on him. She was the best of the best; a leader, now she felt like she had been lying to everyone she knew. She loathed the man in front of her, and even admired him a little. What a joke; running around believing this blessing was a curse, when he was alive most likely because of the "curse". She stood on her feet and tossed him the jewels.

"Take as many as you want, it's just colored glass. You wouldn't get much for them anyway. And if you're going to travel the desert, you need a guide. So, let's treat your wounds and then pack for the trip tomorrow," She offered, walking back to her village.

Kin Tasanagi: Kin's eyes squinted before he cocked a brow. ' Is she... offering to tend to my wounds now. ' He said rubbnig the right side of his cheek that was bleeding after she scratched his face. The Ironic part being the blood didnt shed until she had turned her back on him. He walked past the chest to see she had been speaking the truth, and what had been before him had indeed been a wound that she had inflicted on him. But she was right, he had never been through the middle regions of Skyland in the last two years he lived here. He tilted his head up, before spitting on the ground. " Fine then... lets go. " He said witha light scowl before he watched her walk out infront of him, her hips... had a sway and it almost ginger like. As if within that hardned extiror something gentle resided, something beautiful. He shot his glare off to the right before he followed behind her. " Colored grass huh..." He said straggling behind her. " Why do something like that... set someone up for a fake theif. Is it some kind of judgement of man you have set up back there or something. See whoms the theives from the saints. Sounds like something in the terms of a superiority complex to me. What do you think... huh lady? " He said looking at the back of her head as he pressed forward, straggling a meer 2 feet apart from her.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi laughed at his questions and glanced back at him, licking her hand covered in her blood mixed with his. “I have a blood lust problem, I can’t help it. It’s boring having no slave traders around. I can’t maul anyone or hang up their skins and make tents. So, I set up a trap for theives to come around and pick up. If they get away, they still get no profit~” She replied. She had no problem telling him this, deeming that he’d probably never bother her after this day anyway.

Skylanders were ruthless; used to the harsh weather and sand dunes that kept changing, they could navigate anywhere. For outsiders, it was a death trap that no one set but themselves. As Tsukimi said before, you need a guide, and guide within each tribe so that you could never get lost and you always had backup in case of trader raids. Of course, thanks to Grey Wind those raids never happened anymore and fewer and fewer outsiders came in.

This sparked a question in Tsukimi’s mind, “Tell me, Kin of Tasanagi… I heard a rumor amongst some bandits that more and more outsiders are coming into these lands. Why is that? Is there a war going on? Is Skyland being involved in it?” She pestered, reaching the top of a dune and looking down at him. He was striking, for an outsider. She had only ever seen her people so she couldn’t really judge. Maybe he was the ugliest of his people, maybe she was the ugliest among hers. It could go either way, and she really didn’t see much in this man. Maybe some courage and strength, but he was hollow, without spirit.

They finally reached a tall dune, taller than all the ones before. She went up to it and pushed the sand away, finding a peice of cloth and lifting it up. She took whatever was under it and put the cloth back down, covering it once again. They continued up the dune and when they got to the top, an entire village laid at the bottom. Large huts, tents, wood piles, and people of all shapes and sizes wandered about; the village was bustling with life. Tsukimi slid down the bottom and many of them waved to her. “Don’t make too many friends here, Tasanagi, you won’t be staying very long,” she told him, walking him inside.

Kin Tasanagi: “Tell me, Kin of Tasanagi… I heard a rumor amongst some bandits that more and more outsiders are coming into these lands. Why is that? Is there a war going on? Is Skyland being involved in it?” He heard her say. He tilted his head over to the right scanning over the sandy dunes and the such as they made there way up a hill before they'd finally reach a village. Kin had see these before. He had seen these places and how the people lived within them, peacefully most of the time. However a place like this? Even he knew the slavers should have gotten to a long time ago. That meant something was preventing that... and he wanted to know just what that had been. " About two years ago. My home land Kasaihana city was destyored by the forces of Sector Olympus. A rouge government agency that once worked for the mysterious known intergovernmental system known as Primis. We were challanged to a Sector Game.

Held by any Sector that disagrees with another Sector. A fighting tournament is held where the side with the most winners are the victors. It is a fight to the death with each and every round. A Shard of Nirvana will be used to give the ring and area of combat a shinto realm effect where the users of both sides will be fuled with the Mandarins that juice up there Omega gene to power them up to levels of inhuman porportions. So that both sides are equal in power for the remaining time of the tournament. The Games are based soley on life or death and have been proven to be hellish and cruel. There have only been 7 Sector games recorded through the history of time and they are extremly rare. Anyways... they challanged Kasaihana city to a Sector Game. We won, but they cheated in the end. Our Actions... were the result of our civllization being lost. Our world. So no the wars already happened, and its been won. They won. " Kin said bluntly as they made there way through the village. Small children pointed at him and he would have smiled at them back. " Tsukimi! " Said one of the elderly ladies of her village. " What are you doing! Bringing an outsider here! Look at him, he looks ragged, and wild. Like some kind of bandit! I bet he's a bandit why dont you ask him! He could be one of Bandit Kings men you know! This was truly and really unwise young lady, bringing that kind of attention in our home! What do you have to say to explain yourself! " The elderly lady said shouting at the tops of her lungs with both hands on her hips, whiving her finger into Tsukimi's face.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi didn’t flinch when this old lady came over, she was like a thorn in her side. Everyday Tsukimi was in trouble for something. Of course bringing a stranger into the village was kind of a big deal and it didn’t happen often. “I don’t have to explain anything to you.. And you will always refer to me as Grey Wind,” she scolded the old woman quietly before straightening over her back and smiling, “He was lost in the desert and was attacked, I’m merely giving him a tent to rest his eyes in before he treks through our desert once again,” She lied.

Tsukimi hated lying to them, but bringing in someone who was going to kill another person and also defeated her in a battle was humiliating. She walked him to the medicine tent and before she went in, she handed a small shiny stone to a little girl. The girl giggled and ran to her friends showing off the stone. Tsukimi held the skin open so he could enter, before walking in herself. She took off all her beads and feathers, then ripped off some plant leaves from the tiny garden in the corner. She picked up a stone bowl and mashed the leaves together, pouring a bit of water in to get the mud like consistency she wanted.

She looked at him and sighed, “You should sit so I can put this on. It’ll sting but it wouldn’t get infected. If you’re going to kill him, the best thing to not have is open wounds. He uses poison on his victims and slaves.. I would know,” she admitted, kneeling down infront of him and mixing the thick green mixture with her finger in the bowl.

Kin Tasanagi: " So you know... about the Bandit King too huh. " He says rubbing the back of his neck once they made there way into the room. The Elderly lady whom had addressed the young wolf had been shunned off. And it made Kin think alot of himself when he saw her speak. Proud... rowdy but strong. He could admire it. It was... nice to see, someone so similar like himself. " Grey huh. So that's your name..." He said to her with that same scowl on his face before he pulled his top off to show his physical form. With his masculine but lean build Kin's body is toned down with muscle and zero percent of body fat. His physique is of that of a MMA fighter, or something of that sort. Jet black hair, with his mothers features on his face, aside from his families cursed brand golden eyes that glow within the darkness. His Obsidian hair changed from long to short and this is because when he shifts he has to cut it soon after. Whenever his hair is long, its because he's transformed just recently. He has long elfish like ears due to the beast within, taking its tole on his genetic coding. Sharp canine like teeth, and clawed finger tips that get sharper as his transformations vary. His body had been tatterd with scars despite his healing factor. Some being too powerful for even his body to fully heal. And with the New moon approaching, Kin's powers were dwindling by the day. His body had 4 bullet holes in his stomach, and two in his chest and yet he didnt even flinch with one centimeter of pain." So... your village... tell me about it. Ive never even heard of this placw and... why are you helping me. That old lady spoke truth, you dont know a damn thing about me you know..." Kin said looking over at her from around his shoulder as he sat criss crossed on the mats in the tent.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi pressed the ointment into his wound on his chest then wiped her hands off on her pants, putting away the bowl. "I don't have to know anything about you. I just want to change your mind about this "curse". It's not a curse, it's a gift, a reason to be alive, to protect everyone you care about. It's true that those close to you die first but.. they gave their life so you could learn and learn to control it," she told him, sitting opposite of him and tying her hair into a braid. She looked over his chest, and didn't even feel sorry for him. He seemed reckless, a danger to those around him.. but the circles on his chest, she couldn't even imagine what kind of weapon did that kind of damage. She too had scars, but mostly scrapes, cuts, and bite marks. Even as her body  grew, the years of being a slave did not fade from her skin. "If you want so badly to go after this King then I want you to take me. He owes my village a debt, and I want to be there when he dies so I can show him how I take back what is mine," she grinned and flashed her sunset eyes. "But don't worry, you can kill him, I'll just stick to slave traders." She finished, standing up. "Stay like a good boy and rest up." Tsukimi left the tent and went to check on her people. They loved her, she protected them, and kept them safe. Her family had been warriors for this tribe for many centuries; it was about time someone took over and ran the village. But some of them disagreed entirely, that she wasn't fit at all to run the village. She would just kick sand in their eyes if they ever spoke to her out of turn, and were disrespectful. But the children pulled her around and adored her. She was their Wolf Mom, and in this village, she felt right at home.

Kin Tasanagi: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_NBdzoM_ZI )Kin would have eyed her as she demanded he stay behind in the tent, however his right hand would have latched around her wrist as if to stop her. "... Thanks..." he said tilting his head up at her so she'd make eye contact with her. " Most... people um, just try to kill me. Im surprised you havent heard of me actually. But... fine, you can come along with me to fight him, the Bandit King I mean. I... appreicate the help. " Kin said nodding his head. He said as he kept a grip onto her wrist, making full eye contact with her before he would have finally let go. Making his way across the room before he sat down across the other side of the room infront of the fire in the tent. " If you will... give me a moment to Mediate please.  Ill be taking this time... to allow your treatment to set in, and heal me." Kin said with that hardned tone as he closed his eyes infront of the fire, allowing himself to soak up the heat and rest up properly.

Soon enough however, as she made her way through the village one of the young girls in the village whom looked up to Grey wind had been sitting on a tree log of some sort smiling at her with her legs swinging back and forth. " Grey wind! " She said clapping her hands. ( http://76.72.168.19/images/2014-12-18-694857.png How she looked ) " You brought a boy back to the village? Oooooo... Is he dangerous, is he handsome!? I havent seen him yet! The Elders are really, really mad at you for doing it thoughhhhh. " She said swinging her legs, she couldnt be more more then 17 or 18 or so. A large grin on her face to signify her age and her naviety the most. Humming a tone as she waited for her role model to respond back to her.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi paused when she heard the young girl and pushed the little ones away, sending them off on some adventure. The older woman turned to the younger one and smirked, "I would stay away from him if I were you, young one. He's got a wild temper, and he likes to fight," She told her, wiping off her blade on the tree, "But, he isn't more or less attractive than anyone here, besides, he'll be gone in a day, let's not make a fuss," she scolded. But the older one sat down beside her, sighing heavily. She looked up at the sky and drifted off into fluttery thoughts of her warrior days. If she had been training as hard as she used to, she would have put the Elders in the mud and left them there for all to see. But they were necessary for the village’s survival.

Tsukimi patted the girl’s head and stood back up, going to the main house tent, and filling a large bowl with rice and soup, then another with water. She went to the medicine tent and opened up the door, placing the food and water on the table, looking down at the meditating man. “You should eat when you’re done. It’s hot and it’ll be good for your stomach and all those.. holes in it,” she told him, sitting on the cot across the room. She set up his pillow and blanket, fluffing out the pillow. She thought back to what the girl said. Was he really dangerous? And if he was, why was she so aroused by it?

Kin Tasanagi: Kin opened his eyes, turning his head up to see what she had brought him. " Food and Medicene huh...now your spoiling me. " He said as he chowed away at the rice like a mad man, gobbling it up and chomping it down like some savage beast whom hadnt eaten in days. " So..." He said as he ate away at the food. " I should more then likely tell you what I am. Im from the Tasanagi family...and a known Warlock from the Kasaihana regions of Skyland. On the East Coast. No really known here in the mid-west. But soon enough..." He said before pulling the bowl back. One of the elders had given him bandages and he placed them on himself after she applied the ointment to his wounds."  A Warlock is someone who has undergone extensive training, ruthless mental and physical conditioning, and mysterious rituals (which take place at "Warlock schools" such as Oasis) in preparation for becoming an itinerant monster-slayer for hire.Taken in as children, Warlocks are subjected to intense alchemical processes, consumption of mutagenic compounds and relentless physical and chi training to make them dangerous and highly versatile against their vast array of opponents, many of which possess superhuman speed, strength and/or other deadly powers. These procedures ultimately mean that each fully-trained Warlock is a mutant built specifically to hunt and kill inhuman prey. They usually require them at a young age. But... They allowed me into there ranks after my city had been destroyed after i proved worthy enough to learn. " He said staring at the fire in the middle of the tent. His eyes shot back over to her own before he leaned back. " Ive been listening to the... villagers. Grey Wolf, interesting name. How'd you get it? Im sure you have a story to tell. Let me hear it then..." He said as his bright golden eyes locked onto her own. The Bandages around his masculine formed wraped around every muscle that it could, tightly securing the slow healing wounds.

Grey Wind [Maskie]: [ http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=0NhVkDTP8bo#Hellfire_-_SweetPoffin_s_Female_Cover_(NEW_AND_IMPROVED!!) ] Tsukimi smirked and put the pillow back onto the cot, before sitting down near the opening. She looked at him, a smile still on her lips, “Because my fur is grey and I am as quick as the wind. I come and go, I leave no tracks, no stains; just like the desert wind,” She played with a single feather from her necklace. She looked at the fire going in the middle of the tent, how it’s flames grew and almost licked their faces. The room illuminated with the fire and the embers danced around the logs. She was entranced by the wildness of the flames, and the man who seemed to be urging them on with only his gaze. She stared at them for so long that she started to see her mother’s face in them.

This triggered a memory in her, and she looked down at her lap, “My mother was not of wolf’s blood. She was a slave, from some city across the sea.. My father saved her, his name was Hatchin, and they fell in love. They built this village from the sweat on their backs.. And then one day my father and my mother had me in that same village; a wolf’s blood.. I was five years old when my mother died… The village caught fire and she was caught in the flames or worse, stolen by the traders who set the fire. My father went mad with anger, making everyone search for her and find her. He swore he saw her in every fire he looked at, I hated that. I always tried to run away and be away from him, so one day he told me to leave and go on my own, or to stay with him and protect him from ‘the siren that taunted him with my mother’s face’. When I didn’t choose him, he said I would burn for my sin, and be damned..” The fire flickered only slightly, and she looked up at the fire, finally.

“Sometimes I think he’s right. I am damned. But honestly, the thrill is too much to give up. I would rather be reckless and dangerous.. then safe and sound, hiding behind some warrior who doesn’t even want to be there…” She hissed, throwing the feather into the fire, “Sometimes I see her too.. And it excites me. That I might actually get to hear how she died, and kill the person responsible..” She chuckled, “I’m rotten to the core, Kin..” [6/7/2015 1:47:24 AM] Kin Tasanagi: " Revenge huh. " He said as he listned to the crackle of the flames in the room. " I know a bit...about revenge..." He said as images of his own mother had flared in his mind, when he saw her dead and decaying body in front of his burned down estate. It Haunted him... even to this day it did to see her body in such a defromed and disturbed way. "... Intersting story. Wolf blood... is that what you call it huh. I have someone for you to meet... once this is all said and done. If your willing to meet him that is.  And...No your that bad of a person. I know a thing or too...about being a monster... And also, in refernce to how you look at this power as a gift. Its simply too different views on the matter. The Curse helps, but it burdens me with misforune. It atleast gives me the means to combat the misfortune most of the time. And I really emphasize on 'MOST' " Kin said as he tilted his head back, allowing his mind to drift back to ' revenge. '

" If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge? "

He said allowing the crackle of the fire consume the room in its loud silence as it snapped and crackled throughout the tent. " Thats... William Shakespeare. " He said looking at her out of the corners of his eye, his dark raven hair shading over his face before he turned his head over to the fire once again. His eyes scanned over her form... everything about it as he studied her, from her tanned dark skin. To those bright wild orange eyes, that reminded him of a flame. And that bright blue hair that stood out from even the brightest shades of the skies blue. He turned his head to her and smirked. " It must have been nice...living out in these Lands of The Sky. Ive only been out here for a mesely two years. And... I dont mind it after all. Leaving everything behind was... kind of what i needed. " He said staring at the flame before he stood back up to his feet his masculine form towering over the female as he stared down at her before he made his way across the tent and he gripped onto his leather jacket taking out a cell phone before he made his way back down to the fire where he had been sitting prior. He was looking at something on the phone before he chuckled lightly. " Somethings I wish I could get back, before i was forced to live out here though. " He said closing the phone before he turned his head over to his cot that he had made for himself. " I think Im going to get some sleep. You should too... we leave at Dawn. Take what you need. " Kin said before he closed his eyes. He was forcing himself to sleep... her very aura that basked from her form... was tempting, like the serpent whom came to eve in terms of that one forbidden fruit. It was almost... animal like. And it was strange, sexual tension mixed the enticing sensation to simply put her in her place. But what place had that been exactly? Kin was still trying to figure it out. He gussedit down to being apart of his curse. And he'd leave it at that...

Grey Wind [Maskie]: Tsukimi watched him as he went to bed, the wolf inside her wagging it's tail in glee. She removed herself from the room and headed out to keep watch on the town after the sun had fallen asleep. The young warrior climbed up to the tallest mountain of sand in the village and sat there, watching, waiting. For what seemed like millenniums, she stared out into the cold nothingness. And when sunlight broke, she traveled back down the mountain, because no trader would attack at this hour.

She went to the stables and fed two of their best horses, brushing them and making sure the saddles were all nice and tight. She wandered back into the middle of the village and went into her own giant tent to change.
