Her Fate: Depression (Open to all)

[Kikuyoshi]

"I said MOVE!" The order came like a slap in the face, yet Irvine still refused to let him through to Nisha. There was no reason for him to do it, and thus this bit of information confused the stranger breifly...though his confusion lasted no more than a milisecond. With one quick thrust the tip of the gun was jabbed into Irvine's stomach and the trigger was pulled.

"Get outta here!" Words were strained as he forced them to come out for Nisha's sake, his body crumpling after the blow to the gut. He hadn't felt the bullet pass through his body...at least not yet. His mind focused and unusually clear, his own hand reached for his gun, the polished glint of metal obvious a second too late as Irvine pulled the trigger, blowing this man's hand to pieces, simultaniously knocking the gun from his fingers. He was giving Nisha a chance to bolt. A chance to get the hell out of there before it was too late.

She had retreated two steps. Torn between fully running or staying to help someone who was willing to help her. There was a brief glow of white and where once stood a human like creature now stood a wolf in full white. It wasnt long before she was behind a line of trees then heard the two shots. She froze eyes wide with terror, before she glanced back. What had just happened? She hesitated, debating whether to run back or not. But she made her choice quick and took off, away from all that was going on. Beneath the moon like eyes, her fur was wet as tears continued to fall.

Having heard everything Shirokiba came quick with a plan. "Ainoko, you chase after her, I'll take care of anything else if needed."

Ainoko noded and tore off. He reached the place just in time to see Nisha's butterfly wings flash as she dashed around a tree. He tore off after her. "Nisha, wait!" He morphed into his wolf form and went faster. He spread his wings and flapped them lightly to help his spead and agility. Catching along side her, he slowed to her pace and stayed along side. Gazing at her eyes, he again became stricken. He could think of nothing but running with her for a moment. He waited, wanting her to speak first.

Meanwhile, Shirokiba ran off in the direction of the gunshots. Reaching the place in no time. He leaped, teeth bared for the stranger. A growl escaping sharp vocals before a voice mounted, "Irvine, need any help?" It was all he could say. Right now, he was aming only to do as Irvine wanted or needed. He wanted to heavily damage the stranger but did not want to make his new aquired aquaintance angry.

[Mama Z]

Nisha didnt even bother looking at whom ever it was besides her. 'No!' She shouted closing her eyes tightly and veering towards the the left, picking up her speed. She wanted to be left alone. Needed to be left alone. She brought pain and destruction where ever she went. Even in her blind run she was able to avoid the trees and other things. Gracefully jumping over a root or low growing brush. She would do anything to get away from it all. Away from all of them.

"Why not?" His voice came quietly but questioningly. A soft sigh came from his lips. However, even with the feeling that surged through his body and made him feel, well, he didn't know what, but something, he had to tell her something. He took a deep breath before continuing, "Nisha, I may know nothing of your past, but I honestly was being truthful earlier." His tone was serious. Every part of his face was showing no lie, if she looked at it. "I did not mean to hurt you." However, being young, and not very wise, he did not exactly know what to say or do. All he knew was to follow her, at least so he could see her. "Nisha, I'm going to be strait with you. You may hate me or believe me. I think you are beautiful." He did not continue, for fear of her reaction. He slowed a bit so he'd be out of range if she should strike. He knew she also could morph into a wolf as he and Irvine could.

[Kikuyoshi]

The swoop of feathers ruffled overhead as the gargled call of a crow pierced through the eerie atmosphere, seeming to follow Nisha's every movement. Using her sudden change of direction to it's advantage, this ragged creature began to land directly infront of her path, body rappidly changing in mid air as the flutter of a black cloak replaced ebony wings, his form growing steadily more human-like with each passing second. Standing at full, this masculine figure was dressed in all black, matching quite nicely with his lengthy shoulder long black tresses and an eye patch that covered his left eye. "I love it when plans work out smoothly." Vocals were sickly smooth and sweet, giving off a nausiating feeling. "The whole point was to split the two of you up in the first place. How convenient."

Irvine doubled over in pain, his body finaly realising that he had been shot in the gut with a bullet. Cursing silently to himself, he struggled to get up, his right hand covering the wound to keep it from bleeding so much. "Damnit...don't worry about me. Get the hell out of here and find Nisha...she's the one in trouble, not me." He winced slightly as he stumbled to the support of a tree, eyes darting towards the stranger that had shot him earlier. If only he'd seen it sooner...that this thing was nothing more than a dead man used as a puppet.

[Mama Z]

Nisha heard his words but wouldnt believe them, or slow down to even think about them. Ears perked high at the sound of the crow and she jerked her head up. Eyes grew wide as she saw what was once a crow now a man. Another gasp and she skidded to a hault as not to run into him. She rolled once, almost crushing a wing. She groaned again and shook her head as she sat up. Breathing was a ragged from running and fright. She scrambled to stand on all four paws, then began moving backwards, only to find one paw had been twisted. Visably she winced but kept it down not showing the weakness. ''Please..just leave me alone.' She pleaded looking around for means of escape.

"Forgive me...but i'm quite afraid you won't be going anywhere." His right hand lifted, black leather gloves covering them entirely and snapped his fingers once. Instantly a circle of flames seemed to sprout up from nowhere, forming a complete circle around the two of them, the heat from the rappidly appearing flames seeming to create a dome like barriar above them as well. "Now that there's no possible way for you to flee...allow me to introduce myself." Lips curled back into a tight smile, flashing a brilliant pearl white smile. "My name is Knives."

[Mama Z]

Nisha gazed at the sudden amount of fire that surrounded her and who ever this was. She moved forward a few steps getting away from the fire as not to be burned or singed. She tried to fight the new wave of tears that threatened to fall. She crouched down low, tail resting between her legs. 'What is it you want?' She asked, voice quivering from fear and a bit of anger. Why did he even bother introducing himself? Like it matters now anyways!

[Relairah]

"Nisha!" He could not see the maden he now was convinced he must befriend at any cost. Ainoko's voice was of despare. He must get into the ring of fire. Using his wings he flew above and seeing there was small chance, he didn't care. He decided he'd go in at any cost. He dived in the ring of fire, wincing as the tips of his wings were singed by the flame. He blew out the fire on his singed tips on his way down. He landed by Nisha. "What in the world is going on here! What is with you stupid people and Nisha? Why can't you all just leave her alone!" His voice was loud and bursting with anger, before a growl escaped his lips. He morphed back to his human form for until then he'd been a wolf. He didn't know exactly what he'd do, but he was determined to help in any way.

Back where Irvine was, Shirokiba was still gliding. "Irvine!" He knew Irvine wasn't going to last to long. He opened his jaws, tongue and saliva lolling out. He bared his teeth. His fangs glimmered in the moonlight. He let out a long howl before a deep low growl. He jumped high in the air and dove down seeking to strike the man who'd shot Irvine.

[Kikuyoshi]

(("He dived in the ring of fire, wincing as the tips of his wings were singed by the flame. He blew them out on the way down. " Ok...this sentance is a no no xP You can't just decide that you blew out the flames, seeing as Knives is the one controlling them. That would be powerplaying...be careful not to do it or people get a tad peeved. I'll ignore it this time and just continue...))

Knives grinned almost gentalmanly like, starting to pace about the enclosure slowly. "I've heard talk of a woman that fits your description....a woman that can draw in quite a bit of money if delt with the right way..." His words cut off as his barriar deminished and this new figure appeared. It was no hidden secret that Knives was annoyed, in fact it was quite clearly written out over his facial features. "Idiotic fool...what game do you think your playing? I'd like to see a pathetic excuse such as yourself try and take me up in battle." Poised and clearly in control of the situation he was in, Knives circled about Nisha and the new intruder, his eyes flickering back and forth between the both of them, daring each to just try and make a move.

"Don't waist your energy..." Irvine stiffened and stood upright, his hand tossing the bullet that had gone through him off into the woods. "He's already dead." As far as the naked eye could detect, it appeared that Irvine had completely healed from the attack, for all traces of blood, both in sight and scent, had vanished. However, thus was not the case, for the damage the bullet had caused meant that Irvine would not be able to switch forms anytime soon, as he had transfered all his injuries to his wolf form...leaving his human form practically untouched, save for the minor and unfrequent pulses of pain.

[Mama Z]

Nisha looked at Ainoko then back at Knives. Keen eyes followed his every move fearfully. As he moved behind them she turned her body so as not to have her back towards him, that much she learned over the years. A prize, she was nothing more then that. Nothing more to him or to anyone. Prehaps giving in was the best answer to solve all this. But she knew the wolf besides her would not allow it. She closed her eyes, a broad tremor running through her body. 'Please..' She stated looking at the one who sought to protect her. 'Leave while you still can.' It wasnt worth it for him, she wasnt worth it. Eyes darted around briefly for means of an escape. She would run for a while but fully escaping would be impossible. Her body was already tired and her weak paw wouldnt be of much help.

[Relairah]

((I meant the wings that had caught on the tips of his wings. Not the ring. Could I not do that?))

"Why should I leave you? I won't leave you to just be sold off as if you were some animal. You are worth to much. How can you treat yourself like some kinda prize?" He glared at Knives. "And what about you? I asked questions earlier, I intend for them to be answered. Why do you think she is just some animal. She is valuable. Would you treat another of your kind that way?" His voice was sharp with anoyance. He was determined to hold off as long as possible. If she would run and should fall, he wanted only to help.

"Sure he's dead? They can be decieving you know. Shirokiba reached over to bite the others shoulder to make sure. He looked at Irvine. You need help. Come on, I can carry you to where you can heal yourself. Unless you want to stay here or journey yourself. You aren't exactly in the best of health."

[Kikuyoshi]

A sly smirk spread over Knives' lips, haulting in his stroll around the two of them. "Idiot...you haven't figured it out have you." Slowly, two silver wings pulled away from his back, fluttering and glinting softly in the moonlight...as though made of poison. However, they held an uncanny similarity to the wings Nisha had herself. "Granted we had different fathers...but through our mother, Nisha is my own kind." Pupils dilated then narrowed as he smirked. "Nisha is my sister...and i have no problem selling her for cash."

One brow arched at Shirokiba's comment, shaking his head. "I've got a pair of legs, i can walk myself." And indeed he did so, heading in the direction Nisha had been last seen.

[Mama Z]

She stared in shock. Mouth falling open slightly as the wings came into view. Uncontrobaly she retreated a step, head beginning to shake. 'No..no it can't be.' Pure disbelief. 'She would have told me.' She stated finding some excuse. Her mother shared everything with her, there was no way that this could have happened with out her knowing. Even her father, quiet as he was, never so much has hinted at it. 'You're a liar.' She stated stopping to stare straight at him. Once again the fur beneath her eyes became soaked with tears. What was it she feeling? Rage towards him or towards the family she was so close to. Who knew she certinly didnt.
