<font color='#348781'>"Somewhere away from Naraku, is all I know" Yuin said, and led the other to to a soft clearing she knew of. There she sat down her her haunches and looked at the two of them. She wasnt really sure how to act with other pendragons, especially Outside pendragons [ not from her Clan ], since she had lived in solitude ever since fleeing the Clan, and the only Outsiders she'd ever seen in the Clan had been the ones she'd eaten.</font>
<font color='#810541'>"Well, we are away from Naraku. Now what?" He asked, in a pissy tone. He twirled around to watch if Naraku was anywhere near. He stared at Yuin, picturing him murdering her. Then he saw himself slaughtering Rioze too. He just wanted to kill something. It was very visible in his eyes that he suddenly was feeling a powerful bloodlust. Even a niotie could see the look in his eyes wasn't normal at all. His eyes stayed fixed on a twig on the ground as he stepped on it and snapped it in half. The end of his tail was wagging slowly, with the breeze that swept by.</font>
<font color='#348781'>Yuin was starting to feel uneasy with Diable's odd behavior. To take her mind off it, she repeated her question to Rioze.</font>
<font color='#810541'>"Didn't she already say that?" He raised his head, and saw the question was this time only directed to Rioze this time. He was awfully annoyed by the two completely ignoring him. He backed away taking care to listen for any sounds in the forest. He wanted to kill something. Nothing crept in the forest behind him. Nothing to be weary of. Nothing to mutilate. His black eyes narrowed as he stared at the the pair ahead of him. He took a step forward, snarling extremely quietly.</font>
<font color='#348781'>Yuins overlarge ears picked up on Diable's snarling. Their size did come in handy now and then, even if she had been ridiculed for them as a child. Now she whirled, bristling. "Didnt you get the message last time? I REALLY donr want to kill you, but you're not giving me much choice. If you just need to work off some steam, there's a herd of Ohayrins over there, but if you keep on provoking me I WILL kill you!" OOC: soory guys but im getting really tired of this system of having to clik on bold/italics or w/e each time, i hate having to take my hands off the keyboard in the middle of typing, so i guess iw as felling lazy today n just reverted to using capslozk instead.</font>
<font color='#810541'>"You'll kill me, eh? You couldn't without your magic. That's for sure." He pounced backwards almost in a playful manner, but he was still snarling, only louder. He was expecting either her to pounce on him, provoked by his words, or her to unleash a giant magical spell that would fry him in an instant. Whichever it was, he was ready.</font>
<font color='#348781'>Yuin gave him an almost bored look. However, at the same time she was assessing her options. She STILL really didnt want ot kill him, although she still couldnt explain why. But he was in a fairly good, although casual, defense stance, and looked just about ready for anything. Fine. Let him come to her this time. He was the one who wanted bloodshed, after all. And she wasnt feeling particularly provoked. And a new stratagy never hurt anyone. So now she turned back to Rioze, although simultanuously shifting slightly, preparing herself for his attack.</font>
<font color='#810541'>Instead of attacking right there, Diable, suspicious, stayed there, glaring boredly. There had to be someway he could attack her, knock her down and keep her down. Or something like that. He was a bit puzzled by Yuin's lack of interest. If he was to pounce right now, he might have the upperhand because she would have to turn around a bit and all he had to do was strike with a damaging attack. But he was feeling to cautious to attack just yet.</font>
<font color='#348781'>Finally Yuin tired of waiting. "Excuse me for a minute," she said to Rioze. The she suddenly whirled on Diable. "Look, lamebrain, I dont want to kill you! Obviously if you attack me now, I will, but I am not going to attack you again - I thought I'd already made it quite clear! Now, either go find yourself a nice Ohayrin  or something and hopefully come back more peaceful, or go away and dont come back, or jump me now and get it over with, but please stop just going on as you have!" OOC: damn. I really have got to stop her yelling at every single person. will have to think on on it. Hm...Izzo, I think I could get her to stop yelling at Diable if he'd stop askting to pissed off n going round with a chip on his shoulder...although mirokumonk its gonna be real hard for Naraku to get back into her good books. ^OO^</font>
<font color='#810541'>naraku was still where he was when they left. he filnched and then went into Youkai mode(check profile for info)"this is going to be fuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......"</font>
<font color='#810541'>With those annoying words, Diable rose from his defensive stance and stopped growling. He shook his head, and began to walk away. "Ohrayin, eh?" He thought of how boring it would be to take down another herbivore that hardly fights back. He wasn't hungry, just in a mood to fight and kill. But Yuin was begging him not to...And with that little mercy left in him, Diable held himself back. It would be useless to return to them. Hopefully he wouldn't run into them again. He didn't bother checking if anyone was trailing behing him.</font>
<font color='#CCCCCC'>OOC: 0.o Meep...so that's your trump card >.< Sorry I haven't posted. I was away at the torture center called school. BIC Rioze thoughtfully considered his options. "As much as I'd like to join you, I have top priority for my jobs." What an interesting twist I must say. Unrequited...love? infactuation? Hmph. Reevaluating to himself, he thought of a loophole. "I said I would protect the castle, yes? But I did not say how, nor when, or against what. Since it appears to be in immediate danger, I believe I shall join the other two." Satisfied with himself he set to give a vague description to Yuin. "Hm...I'm a journeyman of the poison trade, but business has been slow lately. I also specialize in elemental sorcery, as well as dabbling in assassination. I was on the way of my trip to other cities, to see what business I could do there. I was sleeping when the ruckus started." As he sat down his eyes returned to their cloudy state. Rioze made sure he paid some attention to Diable, he looked a bit vicious.</font>
<font color='#348781'>Hm. Rioze seemed alright so far, but you could never tell. And it didnt seem like he planned to be around here for long so she wouldnt even have his company for long. And Diable - well, she was likely enough to meet him again around here, but like as not one of them wouldnt come out from that encounter, or at least not unscathed. So she would be left alone with Naraku again. Great. Hopefully he still had a vestige of honor left in him and wouldnt force her into that putrid castle of his. And since it hadnt taken him more than 10 minutes or so to construct it, it wasnt like it had been a huge effort on his part in the name of love, Yuin reasoned. Well, he'd just have to lump it. After all, he seemed to have got along just fine before she had moved into the picture. OOC: um, hey, yuin kinda needs a friend here...hm, diable, i think she could eventually come to like u, or u rioze, or sum1 els, but plz, ppl, she cant keep running after strangers forever n saying, plz, sir, maam, will, you be my friend today? pleeeeeeeez...*gives yall bambi eyes* lolz ^OO^</font>
<font color='#810541'>Diable came across a large patch of a very rare plant. This plant was small, actually, a small flower with black petals and a yellow center. The petals contained a lethal liquid that burns the skin fatally. Being an apprentice in poisons, he knew this and picked the flower immediately, careful not to pierce the petals. He walked with a few flowers in his mouth, planning to find a large boulder to crush the poison out and pour it into a container and sell it, or something like that.</font>
<font color='#CCCCCC'>As he watched Diable walk over to a patch of plants he almost smiled. Almost. Maybe this one isn't as idiotic as he seems. Before he had mentally recapped this place as a good place to gather herbs and such years ago. Attempting to make a mutual understanding he spoke, "You know, this place has several rare and exotic specimens. All fetch a good price as well. Just remember not to tell anyone or gather too many." Sighing to himself he spoke again, "Now that I've told you about me, what about you two explaining youselves?"</font>
<font color='#348781'>Yuin shrugged in response to Rioze's innocent question. "I learned no formal trade as such, having never attended a school or had a private instructor, but I learned all my Clan deemed that I ought properly to know in areas they thought suitible. I am primarily a hunter, but I am capable in several other areas as well. I take odd jobs when I can get them, but having no official qualification as such, thats often hard." And she shrugged again. With one of her characteristic mood swings, she was now feeling rather depressed. "Diable I dont know. He annoyed me earlier, and, being in bad mood, I attacked, but have since decided the better of it. However, he seems to hold a grudge. Cant say I blame him," and here she smiled, her first during her whole narrative. Then she continued, "You'll have to ask him if you want to know.". And she shrugged a third time.</font>
<font color='#810541'>"Yea, I noticed." Diable replied carelessly. He didn't even raise his head to see Rioze. He was walking away, slowly, and heard their conversation. It wasn't that he cared, he just couldn't help but listen. Quite far away, but still in eye's view, he sat by a large, flat boulder that jutted out of the ground. He cleared the top of dirt with his pands. He placed the flowers carefully, pulling the petals off in utmost attention. The petals were throbbing full of the poison. With all the petals delicately laid down on the rock, too heavy to be swept away by the wind, he went to find a large leaf - big and strong enough to hold all the petals - about twenty - like a bag. He used the stems of the flowers like a rope and tied the corners of the leaf together. He glanced around, but didn't see any other potentially rare poisonous flowers. He flew off with the petals in his right pand, completely ignoring Rioze and Yuin.</font>
<font color='#CCCCCC'>"Mmmhmm...." was all he said. Harsh life huh? 'least she dealt with it He decided to try one last attempt to reach the Diable. His attitude was getting to be a trifle annoying as well as immature. And you'd think he'd act better, seeing as he looks older than me. Rioze's eyes gleamed slightly as he spoke, "There's another one in the area that you were looking in...very difficult to see though." He walked over and examined each blade of 'grass' carefully. "Ah..." He picked up with one of his claw/fingers a little tuft of ordinary looking grass. "Look at this, see the light red marks at the base? That shows this is a Lirax plant. If you crush this and boil it in a liquid it's quite deadly. It slowly stops internal organs in the body from functioning. Can't detect it at all, no taste whatsoever." Sighing he thought of his stomach suddenly. All this running around was starting to get him hungry. Crankily he headed over to the tree he had left so recently. Grabbing a previously unseen pack he sat down nearby Yuin.</font>
<font color='#810541'>He landed, still listening to Rioze's insisting. He padded straight for the patch of Lirax plants. He picked one blade up and examined it, and indeed, it certainly wasn't normal grass. Diable dug his claw into a clump of earth underneath a large cluster of the plant. With the roots and dirt still attached to the grassy stuff, he put it into another big leaf from a nearby bush. He tied it up to the remaining vine from his other 'bag' of his black petals. "Thanks. I missed those. Hard to notice, eh?" He took another long glance around, and ambled away, continually watching around him for any other rare plants.</font>
<font color='#810541'>narkau was talking to himself"what to do what to do...kill torment distory, so many choses i cant chose"he started running to the other and blew up the trees when they got in his way "stupid weeds...GET OUT OF MY WAY!"</font>
