Deep Midnight (miyamoto)

Luna slowly transformed into large white feral kitty form. And turned around and went in search of Nimuro. She eventually found him on the other side getting ready to bath in the hotspring. She kept very silent waiting for the perfect moment to pounce, and push him into the hotspring. With his back to her that moment arrived quicker then she thought it would.

She made her move and pounced hoping that he wouldn't turn around and ruin what looked to like a really mischievous trick to play on someone who had rescued her from the slayers. But she still had so much of a light that she retained a very playful spirit even though the situation she found herself in was a very grave one.

Luna leaped aiming for his back. His head jerked up he turned and grabbed Luna. He flipped her into the water and placed her wakizashi blade to her throat. He had a fierce and harsh look and then soften them when he realize that it was Luna. He put down the blade and lifted her up accidentally placing his hand on her right breast. He then said as he lifted her up.

"Forgive Milady War has been harsh to me. Here allow me to help you up."

He stood her up and bowed respectfully. The rose and and turned as he turned Luna saw they his member was erect. He then sat and began scrubbing himself..

Luna had almost growled when his blade had been used against her. But she realized when he pulled her up, that it had been ill advised of her to play a pouncing game. Because of who he is. She blushed slightly only her ears turning a faint red. "It was ill advised of me to pounce you anyway. I wasn't thinking, but then I normally don't think when I am playing a game." Then she started heading back to the cave. But on the way there she got side tracked and climbed a tree instead and settled herself high on the branches of the large oak tree. Her wings flared outwards, and slightly around her for the most part.

Nimuro stopped bathing as he felt bad for Luna. He realized she had but merely been playing. So he got up and went to find her. After searching for a few moments he found her in a tree thinking he looked up and said to her softly.

"Luna I apologize for my reaction I am a man of war. I have many instincts that are hard to control. Would you please come down and join me I am going to sleep for the night in the cave and i would very much like to have a warm body with me. As it gets cold at night and we will have no fire to warm us."

He looked up and smiled faintly as he waited for her to come down and accept his offer.

Luna had been thinking of her family, and the scare she had suffered from the little game she had pulled. Why couldn't they have killed me, why did they leave me alive. I should have been dead a long time ago, then I could have been with my family instead of being alive. I should have known better then to pounce him. I knew he was a fighter by the way he stood up to the slayers. I should never have done that. He doesn't understand play not like I do. I am no fighter, I am just a lycan, and a coward who flees from the enemy. She felt that she had made herself look like a fool in front of him and herself.

Then his voice broke into her thoughts. "It was not your fault, I should have realized you would have reacted that way. But then I was not allowed around the warriors of our clan, so I did not know what you would do, and because of that I made the wrong decision. I will not be doing that again. I will come down soon." Then she stood up slowly on the branch. "As for it being a cold night the good thing we cats don't feel the cold because of our fur so I should be able to help you stay warm." Then she started to climb down the tree. She landed on the ground gently her wings folding along her back so that they wouldn't get snagged on anything.

Nirmuo bowed slightly and rose. He was still nude from the bath as he turned from her. His round and firm buttocks flexed as he walked away. His member could be seen between his legs as he walked away. He walked away a few feet and then stopped. He turned and said as the wind blew slightly.

"I would also prefer your human form Milady. It will take some getting used to your other forms. So if it is not too much to ask could you please sleep in human form?"

His eyes was vibrant and piercing. They seem to pierce her very soul as he stared at her. His hair had been let down from its pony tail. It fell about his shoulders like a mane and moved with the wind as he looked at her and waited for her response.

Luna blinked slightly in suprised. She had never been able to sleep very well in human form. "I will try, but I do not always sleep well in my human form. As for my other forums you are going to have to try to get use to them. Because when the full moon is at its peak I will have no choice but to be in my other form. For if I do not transform, I will be forced by the moon to shift and when that happens I loose all semblance of human like intelligence and become like that of a feral cat." She wasn't warning him just stating fact that at some point she would be in her feral form. Though this night was not a full moon, soon one would happen.

She had noticed his male hood and the fact that he was still naked from the bath, but the only thing difference was that his hair was down around his shoulders, it was nice looking or so she thought, though in her mind she was thinking more than nice. But she didn't let those thoughts surface on her face and give her away. She focused and slowly changed back into her neko form, for that would be the only form she would get close to taking on a human form. Though she hated her human like forms to no end for when she was in that form she could not heal herself. She felt weak without her claws and fangs and without her wings she could not fly away. It might have given her the chance to escape the slayers, but in her mind that really was all it was good for.

But then her ears twitched slightly she heard rustling uphead, something was there. Then her eyes narrowed at the scent it smelled like another lycan yet something was wrong, very wrong. It took only a small sniff for her to figure out why, there was blood in the air. Then she took off in the direction of the blood smell, her body quickly changing. With a thunderious feral cat roar the white furred feline went to the rescue of the bleeding lycan.

Her eyes were completly glowing white by this time, there was no thought to the danger that might kill her, or the fact that she only had her claws and fangs as weapon. She went because her instincts demanded that she go. She forgot about the samuri and the fact that her leaving him might alarm him. But she wasn't fully in control.

Nimuro seen Luna take off. He bolted to the cave where his armor and weapons was. In a matter of minutes he was fully armored and prepared for combat. He broke into a run with his yumi and swords a quiver bounced on his hip as he ran. He then leaped and leaped from tree to tree he had his bow out and already nocked. His eyes was focused as he scanned in front of him. He saw Luna running up ahead in her Lycan form. She stopped at a clearing he climbed up through a series of leaps and stopped on a limb above Luna. He drew back as he watched the situation arise. He would only intervene if she was in danger of being killed not before.

Luna stopped at the edge of the clearing and took stock, at the slayers around an injured lycan kitten, her ears laid flat against her skull. Her claws came out, and scratched the ground, then she spoke her voice a gutteral growl due to the long saber like fangs. "Get away from the child or you will most surely die by my claws, and I will show you no mercy slayers." They looked towards the edge and noticed the feline, but instead of getting away they packed tighter around the kitten.

That only infuriated the feline she had warned them, and now she would act. She sprang at the slayers knocking them down with the force of her lunge, her claws sinking into their armor and destroying it. Though the silver burned her body where it touched her. The pain only fueled the cats rage into attacking. The slayer closest to her found fangs aiming for his throat. The others tried to get her off, but failed for her tail struck them, and knocked their silver tipped weapons away from them. She lifted her head from the dead slayer whose throat she had ripped to pieces, her muzzle covered in blood she turned on the others with a vemonious hiss.

"This is the part where you flee, but running will do you no good, for after all I am a predator, and the chase is the key to the kill." The slayers turned and fled fro the ghostly cat, who took after them intent on destroying them all. It had taken only one taste of the blood from the human slayer to wake up the lycans hunger for flesh. But if she killed them all it might in the end make her upset that she hadn't been able to stop herself. She had rescued the little kitten, but that other side of herself demanded that she not let the prey go, even if it was human prey. She would have to be stopped before she hurt the other slayers, or herself for that matter.

Nimuro pulled back and released the arrow. The arrow flew past Luna and straight to the slayer. The arrow struck true as it impaled the mans head and pinned him to a tree. It the came out halfway throgh the tree. He then put away the bow and drew his sword and leaped down. His eyes alight with fire as he stalked to Luna. He put a reassuring hand on her should and whispered.

"Come on bring the Babe and lest get out of here. We must get away from this area quickly."

He then picked up the Babe and ran back to camp.

Luna followed them for she had no reason to remain in the clearing of death. Or be reminded of the kill she had made in defense to the kitten. Though the blood had dried on her muzzle she knew that at the springs a quick wash would get rid of the blood on her claws and face. Though she thought while she ran. At least it was not the group that follows the dragon, for if it was him then I would have stopped at nothing to destroy him for what he has done. At least he is not back on my trail yet, and I hope he stays far away for a good long while.

When they finally reached the cave Luna was extremly glad and headed for the hotsprings intend on washing off her muzzle and her body of the blood that had covered it from the throat of the slayer she had ripped to pieces. Though she had seen the fire in his eyes, and thought that perhaps he was probably upset with her for attacking. But she could not just sit there and allow them to hurt the kitten anymore.
