Metalvash(open to all)

[Mama Z]

She felt like a deer that was caught in a hungry wolfs gaze. Why was he so in tently staring at her. Not knowing what else to do she stared back. A brief smirk resting on the darkened lips. He looked away and her smile grew slightly. Was he embarased? Most likely not. She was about to look away towards the east when the wolf before began to shed. Well she wouldnt call it shedding, more like, falling apart. Lightly she recoiled and then purple eyes suddenly shut tight as the bright like engulfed him. Her body was tensed a moment and she tentively opened her eye. Then her jaw about dropped to the floor. There where Metalvash once sat was now a human. She watched him carefully with an almost comical expression of confusion as he sat besides her. Looking up at the rain. Words seemed to escape her and she forced herself to look away for a moment then back. Lips moved but no sound emited from them. She was lost in a world of confusion.

Cranium lowered slightly, thus in turn causing strands of hair to fall into his face, slightly hiding his silver optics from view. He was slightly embarassed at sitting there as he was, but could not return to his wolven state. "You know...i'm still a wolf." his words started slowly, interrupted by a low rumble of thunder and a harder downfall of rain as though him voicing an explanation was forbidden in the heavens. Ignoring the weather, he continued, his gaze shifting from her's. "It's an illusion...a curse i can't seem to get rid of." Again he turned up towards the thick, grey skyline, brows furrowing into a look of soft concern, whispering so softly it was barely able to be heard by Hydra at all. "They're...angry with me."

[Mama Z]

She glanced at him. A wolf still? She seemed, sightly uneasy with the idea of wolves turning human and then the other way around. And gave a lopsided smile, slightly embarased she was. 'Im sorry..' She finally stated after looking up at the sky before the last roll of thunder. 'It had just..caught me off guard. Then she noticed his lips moving and cocked her head in slightly confusion. All she heard was angry. Angry? WHo was angry? She glanced around, she wasnt giving off the impression she was angry...was she? Gnawing on her bottom lip she let out a small breath. 'Hey how about we go for a walk..Im about to become the center piece in a major puddle...' And just for emphasis she splashed her left leg in a small puddle that was starting to form near her.

[Kikuyoshi]

Indeed, the rain had become overbaring, so much so that even the tiniest splash caused what seemed to be a tidal wave of mud to go skipping about, and thus drenched Metalvash quite thoroughly. For a moment he looked utterly shocked as though she had done it on purpos...but finally settled into a smile, one that reached all the way to his eyes this time. Brushing away some of the gritty particles of dirt, he glanced once more at the sky and stood up, almost instantly reverting back to his wolven form as he did so. He himself still wasn't sure what caused the transformations to happen, nor why he could do it at all. But he relayed none of this to Hydra...there was no need for her to wonder over such petty matters that bothered him.

Swaying slightly as he walked, the rain pounded harder down onto them, as if whipping them for some horrible crime they had committed. Taking off at a small trot now, Metalvash glared angrily at the clouds as though they had just scolded him. However, the moment passed within seconds, and surprisingly, the rain seemed to let up, until finally, it came to a stop and soon after, the clouds dispursed. Haulting for a moment in their travels, Metalvash glanced around, ears perked to the soft occasional drip of rain off of the trees and the squelching of dirt as some poor creature tried to cross a bit of land. Relief washed over him at that moment and he relaxed, which could be seen by the slight lowering of his shoulders and easier movement of walking. Indeed he loved a storm...but when it threatened to eat him alive, that was when he got a little worried.

Turning to Hydra, a soft smile lit his lips. "So...where would you like to go?"

[Mama Z]

Hydra felt just the oppisite and frowned when the rain shower slowly let up and the clouds moved their own ways. Purple hued eyes looked up at the bright blue that was hidden behind the dark clouds. Oh well, she thought, another storm will come soon enough. There was something about the rain that attracted her. She didnt know what, even as a pup, her mother had to almost sit on her tail to keep her from wondering out in it. 'You'll catch your death!' She snapped one day. But for the few years Hydra had been alive, death still hadnt caught up with her.

But she gave up on the idea that the rain would come back and then shrugged her shoulders, completely clueless on Metalvash's anger at the sky. 'Uh...'Okay,s he hadnt thought that far ahead yet. She looked around for a bit, hoping the answer to that would be seen somewhere. 'I dunno.' She finally concluded with a shrug.

Nostrils flared out gently as he inhaled a breath of air, filling his lungs to the fullest before releasing it in a sigh, too soft to have been taken notice of. Sharp, keen eyes took hold of the land and combed through it, searching for a spot in which they could travel and perhaps get out of the sticky mud mess the rain had left behind. It was easy to see that such a task would not be made easy, as water has a way of getting into every nook and cranny, leaving nothing dry when it so desires.

"Common...I've thought up a place." His voice broke the calm of the air for he spoke with a bit of amusement, and he spoke again a bit softer, more to himself than anything. "With as much as you enjoy water, this should prove enjoyable."

His pace picked up slightly, though not by much seeing as the thick mud went up to his ankles and beyond in some parts, thus slowing him down a tad. Wherever he was headed, he gave out no more information and once more the serious look that seemed to make a frequent home of his face once more returned, though in a way, it seemed to be a bit softer than the last time it had surfaced.

[Mama Z]

Hydra followed without question and with more curiosity. She followed him much like a duckling would follow its mother, right behind and close. She had to smile at the way the mud squished between her toes, it almost tickled. Grey, wet tail was still held high, as if it were a banner she was proud to wave. Purple eyes kept an eye out for anything and everything as the rain fell in sheets, almost adding a different view of the world. A roll of thunder sounded and she looked up as if expecting to see the sky itself roll along with it. No luck. The clouds stayed the same dark slate colour.

Lightly she began to hum a song she had heard long ago, then quietly began to sing the words that went a long with it. "Drip, drip, drip little April showers beating a tune as you fall all around.."

Stormy spheres cast themselves upward in one swift thrust, pausing in his wanderings so that he could glare up at the skies with a slight bit of annoyance. Eye contact was breif and hardly noticable, for he continued quite quickly, his tracks leading them deeper into some nook of the lands, a place that many overlooked due to always being in a hurry.

He couldn't help but be drawn every so often out of his own world to glance back at Hydra, her melody catching his ears every so often. Indeed, her voice was easy on the ears and he had no complaints...but it did feel awkward to have lingered about someone for such a length of time as many of his aquantences were short and simple...nothing more. Even more surprising to him was the fact that he was now leading this wolf towards one of his more treasured spots...one he would frequent often to escape the daily pressures that haunted almost everyone now and then.

His tail swayed at a lower setting, one that suggested that he was nothing more than a low class rank, and his steps started to slow. Turning, attention gathered onto Hydra's facial features.

"We're here..." The words slipped from his muzzle easily and quietly. "It's not much, but the view is great at night....when it's not cloudy..." Vocals drifted as he pushed back a bit of foliage, it's leaves brittle and dry though the obvious smell and sound of water bubbled just behind it.

Pushing past the dead leaves and branches, it was almost as if one were walking into paradise, for a small oasis sat in the middle of the dry and dead plants, it's coloration healthy and lucious green surrounding a pond with a small waterfall. One lone sakura tree had found it's place within this bit of releif, and oddly enough, still carried sakura blossoms, decorating the area in a snow of petals every time the wind would gently pass.

The water was clear and fresh, though at the moment it seemed a little dark due to the sky. Lilly pads of different sizes and shapes freckled the surface and the sound of frogs chirped around the many rocks that settled just about the water's edge.

[Mama Z]

'What can compare with your beautiful sounds..'

That was the last of her song before she faded away as his own pace slowed. Indeed her excitement was high, as well as her energy level. Eyes of purple looked at him, them too reflecting the amount of curiousity that was stored under the surface of her dark, and very wet fur. What could it be? She wondered and with that thought about a thousand pictures swarmed through her head. Could it be a place with even more rain? Though that one was quickly crossed out, seeing as Metalvash was wanting to get out of the rain. Could it be a deep hole and at the bottoms rested the remains of odd treasures? Or prehaps a crystal cave! With sparkling stones of blue and green and pink? That idea that it could be a possible trap was the only thing that didnt cross her mind.

As he pulled back the foilage her heart was beating with puppy like anticipation. And as soon as the branches of dead leaves were pulled back she eagerly looked. Her smile grew huge yet at the same time softened. It was...beautiful.

She glanced at him then back at the scene before her, taking in everything this little private dwelling had to offer. Everything from the water covered rocks to the lone sakura tree. Breathtaking. After a moment of pretty much gaping, she gave a short laugh and shook her head in mild disbelief. 'Its...awesome.' She stated finding the word a bit lame but it worked all the same. 'How'd you find it?'
