Lost In Life [Curare]

[Kikio Valyntine]

The underground layer was completly black with darkness. A cloacked figure whisked around every corner, dim lights flashing off of the long, blue hair that protruded from the open of the cloak. The girl's pale face was downcast as she moved passed a couple against a wall. Opening the door to Crimson Moon, she at once moved to the very back.

Pressing her back against the wall, Kikio Valyntine felt her lip twitch in a disgusted way as a 'Master' passed her. Sighing, she crossed her arms beneath the cloak, still with her eyes downcast. Glancing up, her near white eyes were nearly shown.

Koraris moved swiftly through the underground tunnels of the Angura District. His pack paced behind him and soon both he and his family were at the enterance of Crimson Moon, the underground dance club. He pushed the offending obstical out of his way and walked briskly into the building. He and his family quickly made their way to the bar. Ever since they had been changed, they drank something almost every day. Sometimes they didn't though, but they could be seen drinking something at least once a week.

Kora quickly downed a glass of some unidentifiable alcoholic beverage, and then walked away from the bar. He was a fast drinker, and he could tolerate a large amount of alcohol despite his bad genetics. He walked out, and was looking at the exotic dancers up on the stage, and he didn't see where he was going. He like the rest of his family was momentarily in his human form, and his senses weren't as great, and since he wasn't paying attention, he accidently ran into someone. He turned, and was greeted with long metalic blue hair, and a cloaked figure, obviously a woman servant. "Sorry. Are you okay?" he asked kindly. His family was no where around, so he was kind to her, despite the fact that she was a servant and he was a master. He smiled slightly down at her, his icy blue eyes kind.

Kikio cast her eyes down again and pressed further against the wall. A few men that were masters caught her scent and began to swarm. Her teeth gnashed together as one neared and he backed off slightly. Sensing the angered aura, they began to back off. Just as she was about to move, another bumped into her, his eyes to fixated on the exotic dancers.

When he asked if she wa ok, her fists clentched. A terrible reaction was beginning to bubble at her lips, but she fought it back. With a quick nod, she disappeared from before him a little to quickly than a normal human would have. Dancing out of the door, Kikio sneezed as a few flecks of a cigarette bud flew to her nose. It was to strong. Shaking her head, she put her hand up to her nose and moved away from the smell.

Koraris blinked after her, but the predator in him growled. He liked a chase. It's not as if he liked her or anything, but the way in which she left felt more like she was running form him then just leaving, and that made him hungry. Hungry for the hunt. His blue eyes flashed, but he forced back the rest of the change, and stalked after her. He didn't bother to hide his presence. He wanted to find out why she ran away.

A moment or two later he stood in front of her, and he looked down at her with his brilliant blue orbs. "Two questions. Are you sure you're okay because I really didn't mean to bump into you, and two, why did you leave so fast. I can tell that something is bothering you, and besides the fact that I ran into you, I don't think I have done anything to frusturate you so. Plus I apologiesed (sp?)." he said, his voice calm as he looked down at her. His blue orbs were still just as kind as ever.

Kikio had kept moving quickly. The change beneath her skin was itching. Wanting to be free. In any form. Clentching her teeth, the muscle in her jaw tightened. Her pale lips glistened with wetness as she pulled the bottom one into her mouth to bite down on it. Just as she was about to make it outside, the same man stopped her. Kikio's heart stuttered in her chest. What would he do to her? She was only a servant after all.

When he asked her the questions, she rolled her eyes mentally. Great. Now I'll never get out of here. Kikio thought, clentching her fists beneath the cloak. Turning her head slightly both ways, she made sure Akora wasn't around. Kikio wasn't sure if she was allowed to talk to other masters or not, and really didn't want to take any chances. "I'm fine." Kikio said again, her voice steady, and a beautiful as a wind chime. "I really don't like it in there. Especially when the male masters start crowding me." she added.

Just as she was about to excuse herself, a few servants ran by, and the breeze from their sprint rolled the hood down off of her head. Kikio closed her near white eyes and froze like ice. No breath rolled from her nose, nor lips as she stood before the master. Finally, opening her eyes, she gazed unafraid into his blue ones.

Koraris nodded at her words. They sounded correct and truthful to him, so he would let her leave. Just as he was about to stand aside, someone ran by her. Some idiot servants who didn't know her place ran by her. The effect of this was that it caused her hood to fall back, and reveal her...beautiful....gorgous....pretty face. Well, obviously, Koraris thought she was....all around fantastic. That's what you get when you're a Cheetah in human form. They always fall for the pretty ones. Way to go, Koraris, way to be unique.

He kept himself calm, and his eyes showed nothing although her beauty astounded him, and made him want to get down on both knees and beg for her to become his mate. Yes, mate. He leaned closer to her, and reached out. With his hands he gently pulled her hood back up and covered her face. He smiled down at her, and his eyes shone with a gentle light. "I can understand why they crowd around you, and I can also see why you dislike it." he said nicely. "Who is your master. Do you think there is a chance I know her?" he asked. It wasn't uncommon for one master to ask a slave for the name of their master, so she wouldn't see anything wrong with his question.

"That'd be me." said Akora out of nowhere as she appeared silently behind Kikio. Koraris grinned at Akora and grabbed her hand, twirling her around so that he could look at her.

"Long time no see, Akora. You're looking magneficent as ever I see." he said charmingly. She smiled up at him and rolled her eyes.

"Yes, Koraris, it has been a long time, and you don't look to shabby yourself. I see that you were talking to my servant over there. Hey-" she turned to Kikio. "Did you introduce yourself to Master Chiita?" she asked, her blue eyes piercing, yet still kind.

Koraris shook his head. "No, she did not, but that is quite alright. If she doesn't want to tell me her name, that's her choice. It's not like I'm going to force her to tell me, and you shouldn't either, Akora. You know that I'm not like the rest of my family. No need to be so strict." he said with a smile at his old friend. She grinned and nodded. "Yes, I seem to have forgotten that fact. Well, girl, it's up to you. Neither of us will force you. Will you make up your mind though, I am gonna go to the bar. I have better things to do." she said with a flirtatious wave at a few halfling Lions at the counter. Koraris rolled his eyes and looked back at Kikio.

[Kikio Valyntine]

Kikio stepped back slightly whenever he pulled her hood up. A line formed on her lips and she stared up at him. As the hood hid her eyes, she narrowed them. Men. she growled to herself. Pursing her lips, she ws about to respond when she heard Akora's smooth voice. Kikio stepped aside, and dropped her head, eyes piercing the ground.

As they spoke, she didn't look up as Akora spoke to her. With a slight nod of her head, she stared at the black ground. "My name is Kikio." she said calmly when Koraris said that if she didn't want to tell him her name. "Kikio Valyntine." she finished. Still, as she spoke, Kikio did not raise her head. Hearing Akora's departing words, she finally looked up. Staring after the beautiful master, Kikio then looked at Koraris. "Good night to you sir." Then, with that, she turnd to leave.

Outside of the Crimson Moon, she looked both ways to be sure that nobody was watching her and when she saw that the coast was clear, she shifted into a black panther and loped off into the darkness. Near white eyes pierced through everything that was in her way as she continued at the slow, rocking run. Leaping gracefully up onto a dumpster, she leapt up onto a roof and then laid on the edge, watching everyone. The tip of her tail twitched in irritation. Never before has another master confronted her like that. She didn't like it either.

Koraris looked after Kikio with unattached eyes. He didn't want anyone to see his growing attraction to her. Sure, he had just met her, and she already seemed to dislike him, but she enticed him and mystified him. He was sure that she wasn't just an ordinary human, and yet he could not figure out what she was. He was sure, however, that somehow her DNA had been modified. Maybe by Okami, or maybe by something else before Okami. Kora would probably never know. What he did know though, was that something in her was cat like, now how that was, he had no clue.

After she was gone he turned on his heel and walked up behind Akora, making the male lions scatter. Well, in all honesty, it probably wasn't he who had scared them off. He was actually pretty sure that Akora had gotten bored with them, and had been about to slay them to rid herself of their annoying presences. Rolling his eyes at her usual tactics he stepped in next to her and sat down on the stool to her left. "Akora. I have a proposition for you." he began in a way that was sure to draw her attention.

Akora turned, her long white hair flipped over her shoulder and cascaded down her back and she looked at him with two piercing eyes. "What is it, Koraris?" she asked simply, although it was obvious by her rigid, eager pose that she was very much interested. "I would like to execute a trade between our slaves. I know how you've always fancied Samawe." he began again. Her eyes lit up at the mention of her favorite boy-toy's name. "Who in return?" she asked slowly, wondering why he suddenly wanted to trade with her now, after she had been asking for a trade for years.

"Kikio Valentyn." he said simply, his eyes unshowing. She looked at him with narrowed eyes. "She is my best worker." she stated. "I am sure that she is, and Samawe is mine. You surely are getting the better half of the deal. Your end gets a male in place of a female. Surely he would be more fun than the girl." he said. Akora growled. "I do not touch her. But I see where you are coming from, so yes. I will trade with you. Meet me tomorrow at my packs old homeland and we shall trade. You are giving up Samawe for my Kikio. Is this understood?" she asked. He nodded. "I will see you tomorrow then." she murmured. With that she jumped off of her own stool and left Crimson Moon to go make preparations. Koraris grinned as she left, happy that she had accepted his offer.
