Her Fate: Depression (Open to all)

[Kikuyoshi]

Eyes darted towards Ainoko, a soft nod issued from his cranium as his finger's reached for his hat, the object having been hanging from his belt all this time. Placing it atop his head, he waited for Ainoko to start moving, although Irvine already had a pretty good idea where the source of liquid was located. He could smell it from where they stood. Glancing at Nisha, a smile overcame him at the sight of her temporary "tattoos" caused by the treebark.

[Relairah]

Ainoko did not move yet. He was waiting for Nisha's response. He wanted to make sure it was ok with everyone as he didn't want any trouble to start. He shifted so that he could lean his arm against a tree for just a moment.

[Mama Z]

Nisha blinked, looking from one to the other. Attention obviously on her, or so she thought. She blinked and blushed lightly shrinking back. 'Am I supposed to do something?' She asked in pure innocence.

[Relairah]

Ainoko smiled at her. "I was merely waiting to see if you were ok with me leading to the river." he said. "But I guess you don't really care, or do you?" he asked kindly.

[Kikuyoshi]

Irvine simply grinned at her innocent question, pulling forward towards the source of water not wishing to wait any longer. He hated the feeling of dried blood on his skin...though he wasn't exactly all that thrilled at the prospect of making his marking a tad more visible, what with the blood not there to smear it's image anymore. Sighing heavily, he silently cursed his sibling...for even after her death, she still haunted him.

[Mama Z]

Nisha begann to follow both of them then faultered for a moment. She should ahve left by now. She was so close but now. What changed? She sighed and followed both of them then paused as they came near the river. The water looked cold despite teh summer weather, probably all pure snow melt. There was a light glow around her for a brief moment. Quickly fur covered skin a tail appeared and she moved to all fours. Where she once stood as a human form was now a wolf. She shook briefly, easily adjusting to the new form. Then carefully she approached the water and place one small paw in. She shivered. It was cold to her. Stepping back she took a deep breath, she had to get this blood off one way or another. Taking a deep breath she walked back forward and then slipped into the water. COLD!

Irvine quickly glanced away when he saw the glow produced from Nisha, figuring that it meant she was going to shed her clothes or something to that extent. However, when he finally turned around, deciding a small peek to see what happened wouldn't harm anything, his eyes were met with the image of a wolf. His first instinct was to shed his human flesh as well and join her in his four-legged form, but his memory skipped back to the last time he transformed. Jayden had made dogfood out of his other form, and to transform back would mean transfering his wounds to his human self...a fact that he was sure would kill him...his human form couldn't hold the damage.
Smirking softly to himself, he neared the crystaline water's edge, deciding it best if he not really get in the water, as for one, taking his clothes off wasn't an option and two, he really didn't want to get all that wet. Kneeling down by the bank, a steady hand scooped up some of the clear H2O and ran it down his injured arm, the clear liquid turning crimson before it trickled back into the soil. After a moment or two, the fleshwound was completely clean...save for the marking looked more like a tattoo now than ever, its hue cast in a deep, almost poisonous purple. Irritated with his sister, Irvine could only stare at the
cursed mark and wish that it wasn't implanted on his arm. Stupid devil woman...[/size]

[Relairah]

Ainoko walked sighlently, many thoughts passing through his head. He had just then noticed the mark on Irvine's shoulder. He knew it, for he had seen it before. He looked at it curiously, but still remained silent. He eyed Nisha, and smiled. He sat on the bank, not really wanting to do anything. Afterall, he had no need for washing or bathing at this time. His eyes again fell to the mark on Irvine's flesh. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find himself to say it, for an odd reason he could not understand.

[Mama Z]

A cold shiver ran down her spine as moved fully into the water. She froze and herbody tensed, getting used to the sudden temprature drop around. After a moment she relaxed. The water, surprisingly felt refreshing. On a natural gesture she slunk further into the water, then finally dipped her head in. However, her wings remained above the water, only their bases getting a tad wet. It looked odd really. For this time of night, it only appeared to large butterfly wings sticking out of the water as if the river itself had developed wings. After a moment longer her head and upper area emerged. Nisha took in a deep breath of air then instantly turned to head towards shore. Cold.coold..cold..her mind chanted.

[Relairah]

Ainoko had turned to watch her, and was now smiling at her. Yet, he still said nothing. Perhaps because he did not quite know what to say, or perhaps because he was slightly afraid of what would happen after he said what he wanted.

[Kikuyoshi]

Having been distracted by his own issues, Irvine's gaze lifted for only a fraction of a moment. However, this actioned caused him to do a double take, his attention carried out now fully on the pair of wings that had sprouted from the water's surface. Slight awe settled about him, the way Nisha's wings caught just a shimmer of the fading sunlight. It was like art...yes, that was what she could be compared to, a beautiful, watercolor masterpiece...and had Irvine had any talent when it came to art whatsoever, he probably would have sat down right there and painted her. Mesmerized by the image that his mind had perfectly photographed, he hardly noticed that she had already decided to head for shore, and when he did come around, he turned a soft shade of pink, for in his absentmindedness, he had spilled a handful of water all down the front of his shirt, instead of applying it to the now clean wound. Smiling sheepishly, he stood up and tried to dust the water off, but only ended up smearing it further. Shrugging he leaned up agains a nearby tree and adjusted his hat, waiting to see what was going to happen next.

[Mama Z]

Nisha seemed oblvious of both their stares, though that was probably for the best. Paws gripped the muddy shore line and she hoisted herself out of the water. Well tried at least. Her rear paws had deiceded, and without consent that they enjoyed the water more so then the moody shore. They reached out of the water for a brief moment before slipping back in. THis in turn caused her upper body to fall flat on the shore. A small 'oof' was omitted from her mouth. She flinched and then looked towards the other two, a deep pink shade gracing her own face. [/size]

Quickly, she darted out of the water. This time in success, and moved towards a tree and sat by it. Looking everywhere but at the two and still blushing deeply.

[Relairah]

Ainoko looked at Irvine for a moment realizing why he had done as he was doing now. A small smile appeared on his face, but he quickly hid it, not wanting to embarrass him anymore than he already was. He then looked back at Nisha, watching her slip and then scramble onto the shore. He couldn't tell whether he had wanted to give her a hand or just laugh, but he sighed and did neither. His eyes watched her for another moment and then he looked away. He laid back on the shore, conecting his hands behind his head to cup it. He looked up at the sky, ignoring the other two.

[Kikuyoshi]

(kiku is really tempted to start some more chaos. And yes...kiku is talking in the third person. Kiku likes to do that. xD But yeah...i feel like i'm the only one stirring up trouble...if either of you want to take a crack at it...feel free to just jump in and do it.)

Irvine grinned at the sight of Nisha's slipup...or rather, a slipdown. "You alrigh-" The sentance was cut short simply because right at that moment, Irvine blacked out in a sence. He was still standing by the tree, his eyes open as well as his mouth, but there was little movement to his body. One slightly disturbing feature also, was that his wound had quickly pulsed, illuminated by a light red color, only to start bleeding again. On the outside, this was the worst that was going to happen, but inside Irivne's mind, a much more terrible fate had trapped him. For him, it didn't appear as though time had stopped, for he continued his sentance...but then did something he hadn't done in well over fifty years. It was obvious by the expression his face that something horrible was torturing him. Within his mind, right after he had asked Nisha the question, he had then proceeded to stride towards her, a grim expression carved out on his otherwise serious face. Taking out his gun, he had then proceeded to shoot at her, before she had any time to react, let alone scream. Each bullet had struck it's mark, though it didn't quite kill her, and so, he had strode forward only to take a firm hold of her wings, kick her in the back and watch as they tore away from her flesh. He felt the words slip from his mouth, and unfortunatly, they would also be heard by the real Nisha and Ainoko. "Foul demon scum..." It was then he awoke to the real world and found himself still leaning against the tree with Nisha and Ainoko exactly where they had been before. The only thing different it appeared, was that he was yet again bleeding.

[Relairah]

Ainoko looked at Irvine, cocking his head in a questioning way as a blank look came to his face. He saw the wound on his shoulder again begin to bleed and frowned. He once again returned to his knowledge of the wound. He wondered exactly how much longer he should ignore it. He watched as Irvine came back, for Ainoko had noticed his dream state. "What happedned?" he asked, his eyes still fixed on Irvine's wound.
