The women nodded as she listend and still wasn't sure why dustan would do all of this. But then she heard Dustan groan and start to wake up. Slowly his eyes opened and he smiled when he saw Gesei, "hey." he said and slowly started to sit up.

"Hi how are you feeling?" Gesei smiled slightly worriedly as she looked at him though was happy that he was back awake. She was scared that he might have died so seeing his eyes open made her feel 100 times better.

Dustan smiled at her a little bit, "I feel a lot better but still a little weak." he said as he looked at her. The women smirked, "well of course your still weak, you basicly came back from the dead. But you should be fine after having a few days rest." she said as she looked at them and smiled.

"That's good... and yeah I was worried sick that she wouldn't get here in time to save you... I'm still worried about what's going on too... but now that I see that you're okay I feel a bit better." Gesei smiled softly hoping that they would leave him be for a few days... and she didn't like the thought of them chaining him up when he got better either. No matter what they would say to her she would stay by his side so he didn't get hurt anymore... she did care for him and she didn't trust any... well most of them now.

Dustan looked at her, "I am sorry that I worried you.. and thank you for saving me." he said as he looked at the old lady. She smield at Dustan and gently patted his hand, "I am just glad you keep her safe." she said and then slowly stood up. "I need to report to the leader. I will tell him to give you a few days to recover but I am not sure if he will listen." she said as she looked at them. Dustan nodded and understood that he might be chained up right away, it was something he had to live with.

Gesei stood up and gave the woman a hug before she left and sighed softly. "It's pretty bad when you feel like a prisoner in your own home village...." she murmured softly as she looked at Dustan though smiled some. "And you couldn't help it... I am glad that you came here that way you didn't die... if you had stayed out there any longer you would be dead right now... and I would be sad because I would have lost a friend..." she said looking at him softly and with caring eyes.

Dustan chuckled, "well this isn't your village anymore, your home is with me." he said as he looked at her and then relaxed into the bed for a little bit. He listned to her intensly and then looked at her, "when I woke up and didn't se you there I though that dragon had taken you again. But when I smelled the man I knew I had to come after." he said as he looked at her and remembered waking up to not seeing her.

"I know... I mean by home village the village I was born and raised in." Gesei said softly as she looked at him and smiled slightly at him. "And I was actually a bit scared when I woke in the mans arms... and when he said that you would die... I tried to get out of his arms though he wouldn't put me down... when he called you a monster and acted like you had me under some sort of hypnosis I got so upset... You're not a monster... you're a very kind tiger and friend." she said softly slowly taking his hand into her comfortably with a smile.

(do you think they should go ahead and take him to captivity? Or like the elder of the village comes up or something? I kinda want to see Gesei get some heat from speaking to him like that XD )

((yeah going to bring them in now))

Dustan smiled when he heard her and squeezed her hand gently. He was going to say something but right as he did Kazu came in. He growled when he saw them holding hands, "okay, time to go beast. Lets see if you can back up what your girl is saying." he said and grabbed Dustan by the shirt and started to drag him out of bed. He then started to drag him outside and right as they where otuside guards came and started to Chain Dustan up.

Gesei whimpered softly and got up fallowing them worriedly. "I'm staying with him" she said stirnly not willing to leave him... she was scared to... she was scared they wouldn't honor their word and would kill him any way. In the back of her mind she knew that she was crossing the line with the men in this village and that she could be hurt though she didn't care... she didn't want Dustan to get hurt so she would try and protect him as best she could.

Kazu growled when he heard her but nodded, "fine." he said threw gritted teeth and then started to lead the guards with dustan. He lead them to the middle of town where they chained him down to the ground. Kazu then looked at him and growled, "so tell me beast are you here to terrorize our village?" he asked and the towns people all glared at him. "no, I never wanted to make yu fear me. I am sorry that I have." he said as he looked at them. He hoped that they would believe him.

Gesei glared back at him as she fallowed and when they stopped she sat down next to Dustan looking at him worriedly and ignoring all the people that were complained about her being close to 'the beast'. "How can we believe you?!" one of the villagers shouted and Gesei felt anger towards what used to be her home... it wasn't anymore... this wasn't her home anymore Dustan's cave was... that's where she belonged... there with him...

Kazu nodded, "yes how can we blieve you? so far you have killed every women we have given to you and now you brainwashed one of our own. Why should we blieve anything from your mouth?" he asked and was just about ready to kill him. Dustan looked at him, "I have never layed a hand on the women you gave me. I tried to treat them with respect and honor. But they all died by accidnet, trying to run from me and get back. I tried to save them but it never worked and I never brainwashed anyone. Gesei is the only one who actually gave me a chance." he said as he looked at her. Kazu chuckled, "women are women, they do not need honor or respect." he said and Dustan growled at this.

Gesei frowned at the elder though when she saw that he looked like he was going to kill Dustan she got in front of him protectively. She wasn't going to loose him... she wasn't going to let them kill him for no reason past fear and disbelief. She wanted to protect him for the times that he protected her and kept her from doing stupid stuff. A few of the men and even the women made disgusted and irritated comments about how she was disrespecting the elder and making a fool of herself pretty much and how she should be punished for such actions... especially since the 'beast' was chained up and couldn't do anything for her.

Kazu smirked when he saw Gesei standing infront of him. She was just a women nothing else and her so called beast was chained. "it looks like Gesei is being disrespectful to her elders. If I remember correctly women are not to stand and face men. We should punish her." he said and a smile crept up onto his face. Then without warning Kazu slapped her hard across the face. When Dustan saw this a deep growl came from him, one that ment to back off. He pulled at his chains and they started to losen. Kazu jumped back just as one of the chains broke and set free his one arm. He tried to get at Kazu but didn't manage. So instead he pulled Gesei close to him and he glared at everyone, "no one touches her."

(do remember he hadn't went back into tiger form yet so he wasn't as intimidating XD )

Gesei flinched some when she was slapped hard and put her hand to her cheek though didn't show that it really hurt her that much... she had been through worse... such as the stomach acid and fire of the dragon that almost succeeded in eating her. "And what if we do? By birth she belongs to this villages sadly to say and you are out numbered and not so strong right now." a few of the men stepped forward as one of the guards spoke coldly to Dustan.

((but he is still intimidating))

Dustan growled at them all and held her closer to him. It was a menecing growl that sounded nothing close to a tiger growl, it was as if it was a mix of every animal you could think of. "you gave her to me and I will keep her safe." he then smirked and his skin seemed to ripple, "I may be weak but I can make myself as big and as strong as ten men if I want to." he said and his skin rippled like water over him. But then it stopped and he just glared at them, "but I dont want to hurt anyone. I only ever protected and that Is how it is going to stay. if you try to hurt her again I will break free and run with her." he said as he kept her close to him. "now leave her be, she is mine now. She might of been born here but you gave your rights upt ot her when you gave her. So you may not harm her." he said as he looked at them all.

(Very true XD )

Gesei did something that she hadn't since he got her from the dragon... she clung to him. She was mostly clinging to him because she was scared and worried that they would take her away though also because she was scared that she would loose him.

(what now? What shall we have the villagers do?)

((I think we should have them try to attack, how about you?))

Dustan held her close to him when he felt her cling onto him and growled again. NO one was going to take her away from him, he may be weak but he wasn't as weak as a human.

(I was kinda thinking that too and maybe somehow them getting Gesei away from him or something?... shall wait to post till I know what we're gonna do XP )

((yeah that sounds good to me. They drive Dustan out and manage to capture her and keep her. They then could use her to draw dustan into a trap to kill him.))

The villagers frowned as they saw this and a few of them spoke for a second before they came up with something. A few of the strongest men in the village came up and cut the chains and held them tight as they forced Dustan to stand. "Come on you're leaving..." the men said as they tugged him along to the outer rim of the village.

(hope that's good enough... wasn't too sure what to put XP )

Dustan growled at them and would of lashed out but still had Gesei in his arms. He wouldn't let go of her and nothing would make him. But as they got closer eh felt her being tugged from his grasp. It scared him to think he was going to lose her and he held her tighter to him.

Gesei had stayed close to Dustan the whole time and when she felt herself being pulled from him she started crying. She was soon pulled from his grasp though it didn't seem the guards noticed for they were just fo used on dragging Dustan back to his cave. Gesei cried as they pulled her away and drug her to the prison area in the village where they commenced to beating and whipping her for her wrong doings.

When Dustan felt Gesei be pulled form his grasp eh growled and tried to fight the guards. But they where already at the end of the village and they threw him away. "get out and stay out, Gesei is getting what she deserves." they said but right when they did they regreated it. Dustan growled and his human skin seemed to melt away from him. Soon a monsterous being with razor sharp teeth and claws where glaring at them. The want to kill filled there eyes and he growled at them. But then without a word he started to walk, but not away. No he started to circle the village and got ready to attack. When the guards saw this they ran to the village elder.
