Yuichi nods his head slowly. I guess in the long run, we will see. I just hope you don't get hurt by being around me like others have. He lowers his head a bit saddened causing his bell to ring softly. As for Mr. Saito, I guess maybe it is the feeling of kinship since we are both beasts with fox forms, maybe?

Allegria smiled, bent down, and nuzzled her head against Yuichi's "it could be. And don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. I won't let anyone hurt me, or you, or anyone, for that matter" she told him with a smile.

Yuichi looks away over the stream, trying to hide the sadness in his eyes. The last person that took me in said the same thing. Then the wolves came again......

Allegria smiled inspite of Yuichi's sadness "well, these wolves or whatever else comes upon you is going to have a hard time dealing with me. Need I remind you that when I aim, I never miss?" she pointed out, jerking her head toward her bow, quiver of arrows and her knife.

Yuichi hops up and out of Allegria's lap and turns to look at her. Excuse me a moment, there is something I need to see about trying real quick. He walks away from her and hides behind some trees, making a set of clothing appear beside him. He closes his eyes and starts concentrating on something he remembered reading before his village was destroyed. A flash of light emits from his body as it changes form into a more human aspect. He gathers up his clothing and gets dressed. His leather collar from his fox form turning into a studded leather choker, the bell still on it.

Allegria raised her eyebrow, ndded and watched hm dissappear behind the trees, then she saw a small light what in the world is he doing? she wondered as she stared the place where Yuichi had dissappeared to.

A few moments pass after he gets dressed, enjoying the feel of the silk clothing. He walks out behind the trees back to Allegria and bows to her, his long raven hair falling to hide his face slightly. "Sorry about that, Lady Allegria. I forgot that I did have a basic understanding of the transformation, I had just never been able to try it. He raises his head and smiles softly at her, his face a slight tinge of red.

Allegria raised her eyebrow "Quite lovely, what did I tell you about calling me anything but Allegria?" she asked, a teasing smile on her face. She reached up, grabbed his hand and pulled him down, not evenbothering to tell him to sit down. "You look very handsome" she told him, a sincere smle on her face.

Kioko sat quietly observing the strangers in front of her. When the small fox ran off she ducked lower to make sure she was out of sight. The girl seamed to be more of a threat, so Kioko kept her eyes on her. I still cant quite put things together. This is where the blood was from, but I can tell if the beast is dead. At least no fresh blood. And this woman certainly isnt harmed... As she thought, a young man walked out of where the fox ran off to. Hmm..he looks..almost familiar... She shook her head. Its probably nothing. I dont see many fox beasts.


Saito tosses for a moment. Dreams of war plaguing his mind. He then sits up quickly taking a deep breath and looking around frantically. After getting back to reality he sat for a moment looking at the ground, his eyes dull.

Allegria looks up in surprise and glances at Saito "are you alright, Saito?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

Yuichi smiles a bit even though he was thrown off balance by the pull. "S-Sorry about that....I guess some habits are hard to break. Also, thank you very much for the compliment. To be honest, I have no idea what I look like in this form, since it is the first time I have had enough strength to take it. He shrugs his shoulders slightly in embarrassment.

Allegria turned her attention back to Yuichi and she smiled "well, I'm glad you're able to. It makes conversing with you that much easier. Though, I must admit" she said, stopping short when she realized that Saito was awake. She leaned forward to whisper in his ear "I'll miss playing with your fur and such" she said, blushing as she realized that she had unintentionally openly flirted.

The sudden movement from the beast scared Kioko and caused her to jump a bit. the bushes lightly rustled at the movement. Crap she then stood as still as she could, hoping no one heard.

Saito rubbed his face with his hands and his ear twitched noticing a movement but ignored it for now. "Ya I'm okay." He looked at the familiar face and then to the strange one, quite confused. He stared half asleep. "Who is this I dont remember him."

Allegria's ear imidiaely twitched at the sound from the bushes something is definately out there... she thought to herself before turning her attention to Saito "Can't you guess? I thought you of all people would be able to recognize him, yourself being a beast and all that" she said, giving Saito enough information to get the gears in his brain moving while allowing Yuichi the opportunity to introduce himself.

Yuichi looks at Saito a moment, his face dark red from Allegria's comment about his fur. His ears twitch a little and he turns to face the direction of the noise again. Found you. He closes his eyes and stands still for a moment, debating on returning to his fox form to chase down their little spy.

((Be back in a little bit, going on break.))

Saito still looked a bit confused. "Yuichi? But you cant change." He then noticed Yuichi's tension and looked toward the bush. He closed his eyes to sniff the air in the area. His eyes sprang open when he noticed who it was. "Wait Yuichi. Dont do anything." Saito stood up and walked closer to the bush. "Lady Kioko? Is that you?" He dared not to move much further in case he might scare her into running away.

Kioko jumped again when the young beast caught her. Oh no. they are going to kill me. She started to shiver and slowly back away. Then the elder beast spoke. How does he know me? She inched a bit closer to the edge of the bush. Only her bright red eyes could be seen from the outside.

Allegria stared at Saito in confusion. Lady Kioko... is that the person he was talking about earlier? she one he's searching for? she asked herself before turning to Yuichi to place a hand on his hand, a silent attempt at calming his mind and her own.

Yuichi grins and turns to Saito, No worries Mr. Saito, I'll take care of it. He faces back towards the bushes he sensed the creature in and started to sing softly, an old song that he faintly recalled hearing as a pup, trying to soothe the supposed fox beast into showing herself.

Saito smiled and nodded. )Please dont run away. This was the closest he has been to her and he didnt think he would get another chance like this for a longtime.

When the young fox's song hit her ears, she became instantly relaxed. She laid down. This song seems somewhat familiar as well. Who is this young beast. And the other one knows my name... Still a bit sacred, Kioko started to scoot out of the bushes on her tummy.

(can you all tell me what is going on)

((Right now Kioko, saito, Yuichi (All beasts) with Allegria and Sikura (Elves) are hanging out near an apple tree and a stream that is in a vast meadow.))

Allegria's eyes widened slightly as she saw a small fox start crawling out of the bushes. She turned to Yuichi and smiled at him. She closed her eyes and listened to the song, completely relaxing.

(ok thank you)

Isabella was walking and didn't feel like stopping as well She didn't know where she was of course she found something that told her she was in vast meadow and she sigh that made her more lost of course. Just than she needed to rest for a while and saw trees and felt like sleeping there for a while. She put her staff on the ground and climbed in the tree and sleeps for a while but she heard people talking and felt like not talking to them as well.

Yuichi continues singing to keep Kioko relaxed, his eyes staying closed as he draws on his memories for the words. Just a little more, little one.
