(Oh, lool okay)
Kohaku became flustered. “All the metal is down in the kitchen, and I don’t want Mamoru’s room to be utterly destroyed!…” She glanced around frantically, soon laying eyes on the large balcony windows. “….But if you have to, you can use the curtain rods, I guess…” She got all four of them down with the help of Daichi’s shoulders and rolled them along the ground to Rigel’s feet. “I guess this is all we have.”
Rigel immediately used his powers, shaping them into blades for them. It was a relief to have something for his power to hook onto, something like an anchor for him. He immediately levitated his blade into his hand, holding onto it like a life line.
Kohaku joined him in making weapons from the long rods. She took one in her hand and rubbed the ending sphere with her black hand, turning it a searing-hot white. “This will burn him for sure.”
Although she knew he was going to see that he wasn’t human, she couldn’t just hide forever.
Rigel heard heavy footsteps approaching, and he tensed as the door was opened to reveal Peter, blood dripping down the side of his neck and a shoulder wound that had since dried. Rigel froze, and so did Peter. Peter’s eyes looked over Kohaku’s and Daichi’s animal form, then they met Rigel’s. A maniac grin appeared, “Why it’s so nice to see you again, love.”
(Loo, Kohaku and Daichi are always animals)
Kohaku froze, but only for a second before twirling the end of her rod, enveloping it in hot whisps of fire. She flipped back, sticking the landing, thrusting the weapon forward towards him. “What do you want with Rigel!?” She snarled.
(Yeah, I was trying to emphasize that that part of them was important cause Peter hunt magical people/creatures/whatever isn’t human.)
Peter frowned, merely side stepping and glancing at the flaming rod, “My Rigel needs to come home,” He purred, looking at Rigel with eyes of desire, “But it seems like my Rigel has made some new friends that I’d love to be acquainted with…”
Rigel shook where he stood, not being able to take his eyes away from Peter as he whispered shakily, “N— N— No. Pl— Please.”
(:0 I don’t know what to do loooooo)
Kohaku knew his tone of voice was very well meaning the worst was yet to come. W-w-w-w-what do I do? He’ll crush me into a pile of burning bones!! She screamed out of confusion and jabbed at him with the flaming rod.
(Do we want to have Peter capture them and the others have to save them? Or have them chase Peter off?)
(D: I DUNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it’s your choice either one I’m “fine”)
(Welllllllllllllllllllll… If Peter captures them it might get a little dark/gore might come up, if that influences anything????)
(OK not that….yet. maybe later on, tho)
(Alrightio)
Peter jumped back, but the hot metal seared through his suit sleeve and he snarled as it burned his skin, “Rigel!” That pure command… Everything in Rigel screamed at him to morph the metal away from Peter, to obey -an instinct that had been drilled into him- but… Rigel bent the metal rod, curling it around Peter. He screeched in anger as the metal seared his skin, but Rigel used his powers to throw the metal towards the window— consequencially throwing Peter out too.
(Looo just “throw him out the window”)
“AIIIE!” Youichi burst through the room, still humanoid and still making fox yelps. “We gotta go! Mamoru and Junichi are waiting for us in the garden!”
He stepped aside to allow Daichi and Kohaku through the doorway. “Rigel, you coming?”
(I just love Youichi running in shouting AIIIIE)
Rigel, slightly stunned, nodded mutely and followed closely behind. His pulse was still racing from what he done, and his hand shaky so much he took precautionary actions and dulled the blade in his hand.
(:3 Isn’t that what foxes say anyway?)
Youichi lead Rigel down the hallway with the others, heading down the stairs and into the central hallway. “The gardens are right out here! If we hurry, we can make it!”
With only seconds elapsed, they burst out the garden doors, where Junichi and Mamoru were already waiting.
(I just love it loooooo)
Rigel glanced over his shoulder, but was sure Peter was probably injured from that searing metal and the fall out the window. Rigel chewing his lip, forcing himself to look forward, “W-Where will we go?”
(I see you adopted my looooo, lol)
Junichi growled at Rigel, but Mamoru lightly slapped his shoulder to be quiet. “We’ll just climb over the garden wall using that well over there,” He pointed to the far corner of the garden. “However, where we’ll go after that… I have no idea…” Ryuu, help us and guide us to safety once more— we need it!
(lol)
“Alright,” Rigel mumbled in response, looking a the metal in his hands. He morphed it to wrap around his ankles and wrists, then slowly -shakily- lifted himself off the ground using his magic. He had only tried it once before, and the metal was already rubbing against his skin uncomfortably, but he made do because he knew he wouldn’t be able to climb that wall in the state that he was in.
Junichi watched in pure awe as Rigel went up and over the wall with ease. “This human… He’s not like the rest, is he?”
Kohaku slapped his shoulder as Mamoru did earlier. “Rigel’s nice— just be glad he isn’t like the others!” She clambered up on the well roof, soon lifting herself up on the wall. “Now come on!”
Everyone else managed to get up and on the other side without much trouble.
Rigel’s breathing was slightly heavy when his feet finally touched the ground again, but for the most part he was okay. He morphed the metal back into a dull blade, massaging his wrists a little bit. He looked over at the others, but then looked ahead. I can’t believe I’m doing this… I guess I’m starting a new chapter of my life…
Mamoru was the last over the wall, and he growled. “Now we have to find a new place to live…” We’ve been at Katsumi for so long, and it was so well-kept…. But I can never assume something will last forever… “Follow me…”
He turned and went deeper in the woods, and Youichi caught up to him, rubbing his shoulder where the man had stabbed him. “That guy…. he’s wild…”
“What do you expect?” He scoffed. “I assume he’d do anything to get ahold of Rigel.”
Rigel curled his arms around himself, saying quietly, “He’ll probably be after you all too now that he knows you’re… different.” He chewing on his lips, following Mamoru as they went deeper into the thick woods.
“Well, we expect no less,” Mamoru grunted between heavy breaths. “Humans have been hunting us since they figured out how they could use our power….” They’ve always been like that, and they’ll never grow out of it, will they?….
They came up on a nice river with a run-down mill. With daytime runnning out, Mamoru didn’t really want to go out in the night. “It looks like we can stay here for the night, that is, if it’s vacant….”
“Humans can… take your powers? Can they- Can they take my powers away?” Rigel tried not to get his hopes up, tried not to fantasize what it be like without his powers burdening him- without Peter hunting him.
(Loooo, I thought it said without Peter hugging him :0)
“Well, they could, and we can assume they still can today,” Mamoru growled. “But I don’t think they can take yours…. you’re a bit different than us.” Cautiously, he touched the door as to merely open it. It creaked open eerily, giving him chills. “Yet once they absorb a power, they can’t get rid of it, and they can’t absorb any more of them.”
