Lost little soul (OPEN)

[Little Sarah]

A small sound of sobs were herd though the haunted woods, a little creature cowered down under a tree and crying into the sleeves of her pink little sweater as if they were a tissue. The long brown hair that flowed down to the middle of her back seemed silky and nice. A little pair of blue overalls that has a little patch on the pocket of a little raccoon. and like the little raccoon patch was showing who she was. the little girl seemed to have a little pair of black raccoon ears, that were soft and silky, along with a large fluffy raccoon tail that seemed to be all fur and fluff. Her clothes appeared to be semi tattered, and clutched in her tiny little hands appeared to be a stuffed tan Rabbit toy, that appeared to be a little worn down and dirty. The little creature just sat there, crying and sobbing into the sweater, trembling as if she was scared out of her wits...

which she was.

""U..Usagi..." she spoke as if she was speaking to the stuffed rabbit in her arms "U..Usagi...D...Do you think Big brother....c..could be in this place?" she asked as if they Toy would answer her. She opened her large eyes to look at the top in her arms. then brought her little head down crying into her sleeve again "B..Big brother Koto..w...where are you...p...please be here big brother please..." she sobbed some, then lifted her head back up. looking around, she cling to the toy some after hearing a noise. sniffleing adn rubbing the tears from her face.

"U..Usagi...t...this....this place is scary...." she said in a terrified little voice, looking at the stuffed toy "U...Usagi..w..what are we going to do I..." she stopped hearing anouther rustle in the bushes. she let out a terrified litlte whimper, and the small creature looked around quickly, and took refuge inside where the roots spit and reveled a little burrow that had been abandoned by whatever had been loving in it. She whimpered and went inside the little borrow, cowering with her stuffed toy "please big brother....be here...


Please...."

[Kuro]

The haunted woods was a desolate place filled with vicious hungry monsters willing to tear anything apart. Most feared it, and anyone who entered was sure to die within seconds. They didn't know what they were dealing with, and that was their undoing. Those who ventured into the woods were brave souls indeed...or maybe they were just asking for death.

Kuro didn't fear the woods. It was actually a favorite area of his to frequent. The monsters were intent on destroying whatever crossed their paths, but they knew nothing of Kuro's wrath. Most were too feeble minded to be taught such a lesson, so they learned the hard way. He tried to be casual and just stroll on through, but the barbarians weren't having it. It was pitiful how they thought they could take him on. Kuro was amused as he watched them come at him. Staggering, atrocious, they stood no chance. The swarm of beasts ran faster and faster getting closer by the second. Kuro stood still as a statue. Not making any sort of movement, not even a single breathe, with his arms at his sides he glared at the oncoming pack. But it was pointless. As soon as they were within a few paces Kuro smirked a devilishly one and the beasts that were around him exploded into bloody remains. It was just a split second, no one would have seen it coming. The smile was a distraction, for his hand reached down to his waist and pulled out his katana. He pulled it out and around cutting through the monsters like butter, and through each cut dark red water splattered over his gleaming sword and the ground. The monsters were halved, and the stench of blood overwhelmed the polluted air.

Of course none of it stained himself, Kuro was always careful to not get himself tainted with the disgusting vile of the lower things. His smirk turned back into a cold stare, and with a quick flick of the wrist the blood on his sword flung right off.

Kuro sheathed his silver blade and continued on his path to nowhere. He was just making a casual check of the woods to see if anything but these mutants were around. It was very rare, but either way he always had a bit of fun doing it. Whether it was finding something new, or killing off a few of the mutants themselves. They were annoying anyway, so Kuro considered it 'cleaning'. And it wasn't always the woods that required some disposal of trash.

With a step Kuro crackled through leaves. And somewhere far away a faint cry could be heard. It was apparent it came from the forest, but in which part? Instead taking another step forward Kuro brought his leg back next to his other. He turned his head slightly and listened carefully to where the wimpers came from. Kuro closed his eyes and focused...and then another moan could be heard. His dark red glowing eyes snapped open and he was running across the forest towards the sound in a split second. Another play thing. He thought to himself with a wicked smirk. He didn't know what it could be, but he knew it would be fun. That's all it was. And all it could ever be.

* * *

The abandoned thing sat under a tree sobbing. It obviously looked upset and scared, perfect. Kuro stood behind another tree that stood nearby, so many possibilities played through his mind. He stepped out from behind it and coolly walked up to the small beast. Stopping a few paces away, Kuro nonchalantly placed his hands on his hips and closed his eyes to a slit. With a charming tone and a hint of malice, he spoke to the little pest with a smile, "Are you lost darling?"

[Little Sarah]

'A...A voice...' The little girl though, slightly surprised as her little fluffy ears flickered up some at the sound. In truth that was the last thing the small creature had expected to hear. She was expecting some vicious growls or the howl of some monster ready to attack her, but someones voice was somehow a relief to the small girl, thinking a person would be safer then some monster coming to attack, my how wrong she could be.

She fidgeted a moment, she wasn't sure if she should speak or not. she lifted her little head up slightly to to point where her large brown eyes could be seen. The stuffed rabbit in her arms seemed to be hugged even closer to her now. She finally decided to answer, she nodded her tiny little head, and opened her mouth to speak.

"Y...Yes..." her little voice came out in a squeak "W...Well k...kinda...I...I don't know..w..where I..I'm a..at.." she was stammering. She often did this when she was scared and didn't know people. She was shaking quite a bit, just trembling" W..What is this place....Why would a mirror take me here..." she spoke again, saying the second part more softly, she didn't know if this person might think she was crazy for thinking she went though a mirror.She hid her eyes again and started crying" I wanna find b..big brother...."

She didn't understand why, but the little girl felt somehow afraid of the boy when she had looked up from her little huddled hiding spot, she had a bad feeling, though she tried not to show it, she felt it would be rude, she didn't know if this person was bad or not. and she felt her hunches have been wrong before, even when they were not. She was huddled up into a little ball as if that position would protect her somehow, her little knees to her face while she hid them. and the large fluffy tail of hers wrapped around.

[Kuro]

Kuro moved his hands from his waist to across each other in front of his chest. His smile turned into a frown, this thing annoyed him. He thought it just looked like a pest, but the way it spoke was irritating also. He wanted to pop its head off, but for now he controlled himself. He was the type to play with his food before he devoured it.

It talked about coming through a mirror, this situation sounded familiar to Kuro's ears. But he couldn't really place his finger on why, maybe he had heard it before but didn't care much. So much happened in his day, as if he could remember it all. That wasn't his job.

The longer the thing talked, the more Kuro saw how pathetic and frail it was. It wouldn't last a second longer in this barbarous forest. So what was Kuro to do?

He sighed and let his arms fall down to his side. Kuro walked a few steps closer to it and looked down at it's pitiful face. It was some sort of abomination of a human and an animal. Kuro didn't really know what to think of it. With a scoff he opened up his arms in a gesture of explaining that he was talking about the area they were in, "This, is the haunted woods." Kuro folded his arms in front of his chest again. "It lies in the Kingdom Of Ice."

Kuro shook his head and chuckled to himself. He unfolded his arms and with a wide smirk plastered on his face he approached the thing closer and closer until his feet stood within a foot or so of it. Kuro crouched down and laid his arms on his standing knees under him. He leaned in closer towards the little beast and with a heinous grin and tone he whispered to it, "You're trespassing." As his bloodcurdling eyes bore into the thing before him, he still held the eerie smile on his face. It was a look used before ambushing one's prey, Kuro was eager to see her response from it. The look on her face would sure be delightful. The fright, the terror, the fear...it fed his hunger.

[Little Sarah]

Her head lifted up some as he drew closer to her. she seemed to get more and more nervous as he was approaching, her breathing quickening slightly as he took steps closer and closer to her. "I.. I don't know where this place is at all.. I was in an attic..I went though the mirror cause a piece of the cloth my big brother wears was on the mirror and I came to this place" she whimpered. when he was still getting closer. The small girl didn't notice this, but their was already the slight glow form her chest she got when she was terrified.

when he crouched down, the little girl tensed her whole little body up. she was really scared of him, her large eyes were focused on what he was going to do, debating on weather or not to flee and risk what was out there. She almost help her breath when he was so close. her tail was limp and scared like.

Then the eyes, when his eyes bore into her. the little girl couldn't help it. Little Sarah let out a really fearful scared sounding scream and yelp and as soon as that happened. the glow around her neck became prominent and viewable, then the little glow on her chest. and in almost an instant, a little explosion seemed to happen in the tree, as if their had been a tiny bomb hidden in one of the limbs. It caused a large branch to shatter and fall to the ground.

Sarah yelped and jumped back when that happened, ears falling back again " I.. it happened again.." she squeaked and quickly touched where her little necklace was hidden under her pink sweater. " Why dose that keep happening..." she whimpered again. Sarah didn't know anything about what she could do, her big brother knew more about it then she did. she could cause explosions when she what terrified or at the point where her little life was in danger, they normally went strong, but they were enough to shatter something close by. She didn't know how to control this, not one bit, if she did it might be more powerful of a weapon, instead of the little creatures last resort for defense without even realizing it.

[Kuro]

The panic look on her face, it's exactly what he had been waiting for. It pleased Kuro, he lived for moments like this. His eyes were so dark as sinister, an evil aura seeped out of them. The thing couldn't take it, so she let out a high pitched yelp. Kuro expected as much, so he didn't flinch. But what did catch him by surprise was the unusual glow that wrapped around her neck. And in the same moment he noticed the glow a small branch from the tree exploded. It was obvious she had to have been the cause of it (or at least the glow) because to have one small branch explode without really affecting the tree in and of itself was suspicious enough.

The girl was shocked by her own action and jumped back. She seemed more afraid of herself and what she could do. Kuro now noticed it was some sort of necklace as she gripped it and whimpered. With a displeased look on his face, Kuro glanced over at the ashes of the tree branch that had combusted and then to the little beast that cried in front of him. Kuro stood himself up and gently patted off any ashes from the branch that reached him. "How annoying." He muttered to himself. This thing was actually capable of something, but it only made him want to destroy it even more. With a single step he could so easily crush its skull into the cold hard ground, but he was curious as to what that item around its neck was. Kuro twisted his face into a wicked smile and again with a corrupt charming voice he soothed, "Well..what do you have there? He aimed his stare right at her neck, he wanted to know what it exactly was. Kuro closed his eyes for a second, and then instantly opened them and shot his arm out towards the girl. He aimed to grasp her head in his hand and tear away the necklace with the other. Kuro had to know how such a deplorable creature could hold a potentially formidable item.

[Little Sarah]

When his arm reached out to grab her, it seemed almost like the small creatures instincts took over and in a second the little girl had jumped back in q quick little tempt to get away from him. She was a fast litttle thing. Part of the reason was her size, her being so small, being fast was a good way to keep herself alive. She noticed how he had been staring at her necklace, she knew that look, a person she knew from her world named Dorei had done the same thing before he figured out he wouldn't take it off the small girl, as if the necklace was somehow connected to her tiny form, and to the glow that was located inside her little chest.

she still had a panicked look on her face, but she looked up at him. clutching the necklace again, as well as the tan stuffed rabbit in her arms. She was panting a little bit, or atleast she was breathing really heavy, even if she wasn't tired, she tended to do that when she was panicked. However, despite he panicked and terrified look, the small girl seemed to let out a growl, almost like a frightened animal would. Her ears strait back against her head.

"N...No!" she snapped a little bit" Y...Your trying t..to take my necklace! Y...You cant take it!" she growled again and held the little toy tighter to herself" I...It wont come off...i..it wont come off of me... I.. I don't know why...b..b..big brother told me he would tell m..me when I was big enough to understand...b..but I don't know why it wont come off, and I don't know how to take it off..and I don't want it off!" her little voice was shakeing and stammering again, but she was trying to act brave, despite the fact she was shakeing desperately.

Course for all Kuro knew, the little girl could be lieing to keep herself safe. Even though she wasn't. She was telling the truth, the necklace wouldn't come off the tiny little girl, and the reason was partly because of the stone inside of the little creatures chest, course she knew nothing of that.

[Kuro]

His attempt to grab her had failed, the little demon had jumped away at the last second. It did surprise Kuro a bit at how fast she was, but he should have expected as much after that explosion.

The thing was alarmed now, she could tell he was after her necklace. But what did she mean it wouldn't come off? This only tempted him more. To not be allowed to acquire something, who could resist?

Kuro was getting annoyed more then ever by this little bug. He stood himself up and stepped away from the frightened abomination. Kuro sneered in it's direction and folded his arms across his chest. "What an annoying pest you're becoming." He was getting bored and tired with her. Kuro just wanted the damn necklace even if he had to slice her neck and slide it off. He didn't have the patience for this, so his aura changed into a truly fearful one.

The thing just sputtered on and on, it was about time he ended this. He gave her a cold smile, and then with all his force and might he swung his leg back, and then forward towards her head.

"Just make this easy on yourself and give me the necklace." Kuro always got what he wanted, he wasn't going to let this beast humiliate him.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah let out a little bit of a growl again. staring at him, her little ears back. She could sense his aura was an evil one, she didn't want to see just how evil it could be. But she was still trying to act brave. trying to not shake as much as she had been and trying to growl like an animal might, her stuffed bunny clutched in her tiny arms firmly. Her eyes were fixed on his moments now. Watching everything he did. She snarled slightly.

"Little Pest..y..your the one that's trying to hurt me..i..if you think I'm suck a pest why don't you leave me alone!" she managed to say without stammering to much. She gulped some. It actually took allot for the little girl to say that. Her fluffy tail which had been motionless dragging on the ground finally twitched a little bit in an agitated way.

Then the kick. The little raccoon girl duked down, but the small creature did not go fast enough, and his foot managed to kick the side of her head with a good amount of force ,there was a little bruise forming there. She started crying some and placed her hand on the spot where the bruise was forming, she was small, and the kick had hurt the little girl, but she growled and glared at him, still laying on the ground where she had fallen, laying on her Belly and staring at him.

"Were you not listening you jerk!" the little thing snapped, with some courage coming from her fear anger and pain, she sat up and whimpered, and uncovered the necklace that had been hidden under her little sweater" I cant take it off! I mean it!" she snapped , and to sow him, she tried tugging at the necklace, it glowed faintly and wouldn't leave the little creatures form, when she tugged the little glow in her chest happened as well, but it was hidden cause of the clothes she wore" see I told you..i...it wont come off of me.. "she sat up and whimpered" M..My big brother knows why..a..and he knows the way to get it off but I don't know where he is!" she snapped again, and whimpered more "b..But the necklace wont leave me..a..and I wouldn't give it to you wayway..m..my mama gave it to me..."

[Kuro]

"If you think I'm such a pest why don't you leave me alone!"

The thing was retaliating. How adorable. Her tantrum only fed his desire. The more she shouted, the more it amused him. It was just adding fuel to the fire, she was not making her situation any better.

After he had just kicked her she still seemed so feisty. How much anger could such a tiny body hold? It was still entertaining, Kuro had found an interesting play thing indeed. "Well then.." He scoffed. Kuro slowly reached his hand down towards his katana and began pulling out the sharp blade. "I guess it will take a little more force then." Kuro's smirk grew wider, and the red glow in his eyes grew darker. It didn't matter to him that the creature was small and fragile, he would destroy anything to fulfill his selfish wishes. With the same eerie look on his face Kuro took his blade out and held it in the air over his head. "I've grown tired of you. In this world resistance is futile darling." He added a bit of playful emphasis on the word 'darling'.

Kuro clutched the handle on the sword that hovered over his head and with all his might he brought down the blade onto the ground next to the beast. He wanted to show her his power and that he meant business. Game time was over, Kuro was out for blood. He wanted to give her a couple of seconds to react, it would only make the hunt more enjoyable. Kuro wanted her to squirm and cry, the thought of this stretched his wicked smile from ear to ear.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah kept he r little hand pressed on the bruise a bit, it was throbbing itself. she grumbled some, it made her feel a little bit dizzy, but the little girl still glared up at him. Sarah wasn't normally an angry little beast, she was normally the happiest sweetest little thing in the world, but she was frightened, and backed into a corner almost. She Was ready to do something if he tried to hurt her again. She watched hos movements again. and when he pulled out the blade, she squeaked some, mostly from fear, she wasn't one to like weapons, the only blade she knew was the one her brother used,' at least its not a gun..' the little thing actually thought, guns were one of the things she feared the most...guns..the thing that brought down both of her parents, the full reason why the little thing was scared of things like loud noises.

As soon as he brought the blade next to her, something triggered in the little raccoon,without a second thought, when his arm was low enough. The little raccoon tried to grab onto it with the fast little reflexes she had, and attempted to bite down on his arm with all her might and all for force she could cause with those tiny little fangs inside of her mouth. If she succeeded, the little thing held on for a split second, before letting go.

after her attempted bite. The little raccoon demon girl backed up some. growling at him again. before she turned and took off running away from the Blood Prince. trying to use her bit of speed she had as an advantage. course she wasn't going the fastest that she could, she was feeling dizzy form the kick he had done to her head, she feared if she pushed going to fast, she might pass out.

[Kuro]

If she wasn't frightened before, she sure was now. The terror of having such a blade come so close to decapitating her was shown all over her face. The joy of being able to cause that fear was thrilling to Kuro. While his blade still cut into the ground the monster's instinct was to grab a hold of her captor. She forced as much of her strength as she could into the bite, Kuro could feel the pitiful effort. It didn't bother him at all, so he let her do it.

As she tightened her bite Kuro tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. He turned his head to face the eyes of the bug that held onto him so tightly. And he just smiled and laughed. Then she was off, and so began the chase.

Kuro laughed a louder menacing laugh, then he spread out his arms and yelled towards the running demon. "You can't run away from death darling!" And with that he was off. His blood was rushing, his eyes were wide with a thirst for blood. This was the feeling he adored so much. She could run all she wanted, and Kuro would pursue her. And when he would grab a hold of her, it would be her undoing. He had to admit she was fast, but she couldn't outrun him. Kuro was right on her tail. He wouldn't let her get away.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah couldn't help but look back at him slightly, her tiny little heart was racing so fast, she wasn't tired yet, but the fear she was feeling was causing it to beat faster then it had before. She kept peaking back, to heck if he was still following her, and of course she saw that he still was. She squeezed her eyes shut and squeaked slightly, her Tail was moving in a way to try and boost th little creatures speed, her body still feeling dizzy and somewhat queasy from the kick to her little head earlier.

Despite the Fear and the queasiness, the little demon realized she had to risk going faster "L...Leave me alone!" she ended up snapping, She whimpered in a scared way "W...Why are you going after me?! L..Leave me alone! g..go away!" she was crying while she was yelling. Her ears flat against her head in a fearful like way.

She started pushing herself to boost up speed to scamper faster. She even seemed to start running almost like an animal, using her little hands to boost her speed faster. squeezing her eyes shut again.She pressed on as fast as she could, her tail whipping in a way again to boost the little ones speed. She was trying to move as fast as her little legs would allow her

[Kuro]

The sheer look of terror on her face powered Kuro to continue torturing her. It was so satisfying to be able to feel this again, it had been a while since Kuro had a good chase. She kept looking back at him and all Kuro could do was smile back at the sweet little darling. She had no choice but to keep running, if she faltered one bit he would most definitely tear her to shreds with his blade. He was a good couple of feet away from her, but of course he wasn't running at full speed. Kuro wanted to savor the moment and humilitate her by thinking she could get away. And when she thought she was safe he would pop up right behind her and end her life.

She whimpered and cried for Kuro to stop and leave her alone. This did cause Kuro to stop, but not on her behalf. He stood still in his tracks and placed his hand onto his face. Then Kuro burst out in laughter. His eyes grew darker and his voice and aura grew morbid. Did she really believe by ordering him to stop that he would do so? The one thing Kuro hated more then anything was others commanding him to do something. Only his mom, the White Queen, was allowed to do so. Anyone else would be annihilated for their impudence. Them? Ordering around the Blood Prince? To think someone could have the audacity to do so. Although mostly it happened out of fear, it was a reflex so to say. But Kuro still found it amusing. "How classic!" He called out. Kuro was having fun with this, and he wanted her to know. Kuro stopped laughing and composed himself. This game would have to end sooner or later. He was a dark piece and she was the lowly pawn. She could only travel so far before Kuro would catch up with her. He would make her regret ever coming into this world. You do not come across the Blood Prince and expect to live.

With a dash of unexpected speed Kuro aimed himself towards the beast. As much as he did think he was getting tired of this, in truth he enjoyed it more then anything. He did want to just end her pathetic life, but the joy of the hunt was the chase itself. No one was going to save her, the end was near. It would be seconds before he came upon her, so Kuro readied his sword and approached her at a quicker speed.

[Road†Kamelot]

† "A~h" †

† Road whined out loud, only for the sound to echo right back at her. She quickly stuck her tongue out at this and sighed. She was soo bored! †

† The pre-teen leaned against a pink, pumpkin-headed umbrella, which quickly uttered muffled complaints about the added weight. She paid no attention to the umbrella though, instead looking around the woods. Most every creature in the dangerous forest stayed clear of her, understanding on a primal level that she was something far beyond what they could understand. They were all afraid. †

† "But I want to play!" †

† The adopted Princess of the Red Kingdom practically shouted, bending the umbrella against the ground so she could lift herself off the floor. The umbrella wasn't happy. †

† 'You shouldnth be here, lero. You shouldth get backth to the Palaceth, lero!' †

† Road's blue eyes turned to the umbrella, then she pouted, and began banging the umbrella's pumpkin-head on the side of a thick tree. †

† "Be quiet! You're no fun at all!" †

† She sighed and flipped the umbrella around to rest on her shoulder. She was just about to wish Tyki in through a vacuum, when she heard screaming and evil laughing. †

† "O~h?" †

† She looked around a tree to see a tiny raccoon-kid running away from... Road's eyes widened and then her face lit up in a smirk. It was the Blood Prince. †

† 'Oh noth, lero! You musth geth backth to- lero!' †

† Road smacked the umbrella against the tree sharply, annoyed a bit by the pumpkin's slur. She placed her hands on her hips as she watched the Prince pursue the raccoon-girl with glee. †

† "A~w! He looks a lot older than me doesn't he? No fair!" †

† Suddenly a red and blue portal opened beneath the young girl, and before the pumpkin could breath a word to stop her, she'd disappeared into it's depths. †

† Walking through her own personal dimension, she paused under the area she wanted and grinned. In the next second she was back in the woods, the small raccoon thing had bumped right into her legs. It had been going really fast, but the force didn't faze the twelve year old a bit. †

† She was smiling at the Prince, who's blade was now locked with the pink umbrella. He looked even cuter up close, too bad he really was way older than her. She wondered if he would be surprised to see her appear right in the way of his kill, most people where. She shifted so she could move the blade a way from her a bit, and waved with her free hand. †

† "Hi~!" †
