Chapter 2
Meeting an assasin and the fox ate my slipper!
....Kyuu tackled him from the side. They tumbled on the ground for a bit until the hooded guy slashed at him with a dagger. Kyuu stumbled back enough only to have his shirt slashed. With his ears flattened back completely, Kyuu snarled ferally as he lashed out with his claws, ripping the hood of the unknown attacker. Kyuu stepped back to stand by me. I looked over the attacker. He looked to be about fifteen. His skin was pale and he had long black hair, tied back in a ponytail. His eyes were icy blue and he had one long white streak of hair near the right side of his face. He had a pair of goggles on the top of his head. He wore a blue opened button up shirt over a blue net top and a pair of black pants with holes in the knees. He had black goth boots on and two swords strapped to his back.
He went to step forward, his hand placing his dagger back at his waist, his other hand heading to grasp the hilt of one of his swords. Kyuu went to take a step forward when I placed my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me and I smiled.
"I'll take care of this Kyuu-kun."
I stepped towards the assasin. "It would only be polite to introduce yourself since you already know my name." I smiled at the boy.
"Misutishizumu."
"Well, Misu-kun, why are you attacking me?"
"I was ordered too. I can either kill you or just die myself."
Misutishizumu then lunged towards me, unsheathing his sword. I clapped my hands together, my scythe appearing, and I moved it to block his blade. Kyuu gripped his katana, and I deflected another hit from Misutishizumu.
"Kyuu-kun, what did I say?"
"But-"
"Let me deal with this."
Misutishizumu moved to strike again. He had drawn his second sword a few moments ago and I had been easily blocking them both as I spoke to Kyuu. Misutishizumu tried to slash me in half again, but this time I knocked his blades away, hooked my ankle behind his knee, and sent him sprawling to the ground.
He landed on his front and I then sat on him, Indian style. I tied his hands behind him and threw his dagger towards his swords.
"Now, now, Misu-kun, would you kill yourself if you couldn't kill me?"
"No. But it doesn't matter. My boss would make sure I will be killed if I fail."
"Who is your boss?"
"Master Akumu."
"Ah, good old Akumu. Why would he kill someone such as yourself?"
"Because Tainteds shouldn't even exist."
"Oh, I get it."
"..."
"Why don't you stay with Kyuu-kun and me?"
"Huh?"
"Stay. With. Us."
"..."
"Okay! It's decided! Kyuu-kun, Misu-kun is staying with us!"
"I never agreed to anything..."
Kyuu walked over, picking up Misutishizumu's weapons. "Don't worry, Eve's just like that. And it's probably better to stay with us than go off on your own. Unless you want somebody to kill you." he told the younger boy, handing him his weapons.
"Will you look at that! It's past midnight! We were fighting for a few good hours! We should go back home and get some sleep." I said cheerfully, heading back to the church.
"What!!!? That's not fair! I thought we could finally spend some time outside during the day! Why must you be nocturnal, Eve?" whined Kyuu, his shoulders sagging in dissapointment.
"Cause humans aren't. Now I'm gonna get cleaned up and then go to sleep. Misu-kun, you can have the other room next to Kyuu-kun's." I smiled, walking off into the bathroom.
---A few minutes later---
I walked back towards my room. When I got there, I sat on my bed, in nothing but a towel. My hair was still wet.
"And this door connects to Eve's room." I heard Kyuu say, opening the oak doors that connected our rooms. Misutishizumu followed behind him. They both stopped when they saw me. Misutishizumu's face went completely red and he freaked out, covering his eyes. Meanwhile, Kyuu only had a slight blush on his face as he adverted his eyes.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! We didn't mean to walk in on you!! Gah!!"
"Misu-kun, chill."
"I'm so sorry. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"
"You are such a prude, Misu-kun! Even Kyuu-kun wasn't that bad when he started to live with me!" I laughed, watching Kyuu's face as he recalled the first few weeks of living with me. And back then I used to sleep in the nude.
"Um, Eve, could you, um, cover yourself up better?" Kyuu asked, still not looking at me.
"Why? I was thinking of just going to bed." I smiled.
Their faces got even redder.
Poor Misutishizumu, he couldn't even speak.
"If you leave, I'll get dressed in my pj's. Unless, you wanna watch?" I smirked.
"NO! OH GODS, NO!" they both shouted in unison, dashing out of the room.
I laughed at their behavior for at least ten minutes. Maybe more. I didn't really keep track. Anyways, I got dressed in a large tshirt and a pair of Kyuu's boxers. I left my room and after a quick search, found both guys in the living room.
"You guys are too fun to tease. Ya know, most boys your age would have taken up my offer." I said, leaning on the back of the couch, startling Misutishizumu. The boy's face went red and Kyuu looked at what I was wearing.
"Are those my boxers?" he asked.
"Yeppers!" I chirped.
Kyuu just blinked before he turned away.
"Anyways, the sun's gonna be up soon, so why don't we all go to bed?" I suggested and we all filed out of the living room and to our bedrooms.
---The next morning, er, evening---
I rolled over onto my stomach, my arm lying over one of my pillows. It landed on something warm. And furry.
I groggily lifted my head to see a bundle of black fur under my arm. I raised an eyebrow and said, "Kyuu?"
The bundle of fur blinked open two red eyes. It shifted and I saw a collar with a silver medallion shaped as a spiral around its neck. Yup, it had to be Kyuu, no doubt about it.
"Kyuu, why are you a fox? Again?" I asked, sitting up. Kyuu, who was now a small black fox, blinked at me before jumping off of my bed. "Okay..." I slurred, getting up and going to the bathroom. I showered and came back to my room in nothing but a towel. It's a really bad habit. Anyways, I went get dressed when I saw something black dash out of my room from under my bed. My eye twitched.
"That had better have been Kyuu. I swear to God, if it was the dust bunnies again, I will exterminate every single one of them this time..." I muttered, looking at my bed strangely.
Anyways, I had gotten dressed and was about to leave my room when I saw something that caught my eye. I walked over, and despite my nervous twitch (yes, I was twitching) I looked under my bed. There I saw my slippers. Actually... I saw one red slipper....
...And pieces of the second one scattered underneath my bed.
I stared for ten minutes at the remains of my slipper. I blinked, finally opening my mouth.
"KYUU!"
Tbc....
