[Roleplay-OOC] You: 'The following does not take place in the IY world. (I find it hard to play and rp in the same world at the same time)'
[Roleplay] A young girl, 6-8, cloaked in a robe of black, loosly fit with a hood that didn't blow off, was playing in a forest. It was almost impossible to see her face but she ran around and chatted with someone unseen. She was giggling, and she stopped at a tree and looked up. She spoke, laughed (as only a young child can), and continued to run around giggling and talking.
[Roleplay] An acorn fell from a nearby tree; the girl smiled and picked it up. She said something, almost a whisper, and held the acorn up. A squirrel jumped to a branch right next to the acorn and took it, the girl said something else then jumped over to a spot where there was only dirt. She knelt down.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru awoke from his slumber... He got to his feet, and headed towards the nearby stream to wash... It was as relaxing as the day was hot... He uncovered his body, it was clear battle had marked him, he had slashes and all sort of other scars on his chest arms and back...
[Roleplay] These where the days that made Kagomaru truly happy, the days when he didn't have to fight to drown his thoughts... he despised killing, though it seemed death chose him to reap it's dark harvest...
[Roleplay] The young girl poked a finger from the sleeve of her cloak and started to draw in the dirt.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru got out of the stream, dried himself and started walking, he thought about his beloved...how she hated to see people hurt, how her smile could cheer him up no matter what... He didn't notice that a tear rolled own his check... Those where painful memories... She was gone and he didn't know where she was... the thought saddened him... he spotted a little girl in the road. Though he was in his human form and disguised his jaki could still hurt the child... with a bit of focus he annihilated his jaki and walked up towards the child.
[Roleplay] The girl continued her play in the dirt, she appear to not notice anything around her. A bird flew from one tree to another, over the dirt area.
[Roleplay] He got closer, the girl seemed to be focsed on playing...it reminded him of when he and his beloved walked in the gardens of the palace so long ago...nothing seemed to be able to brake that tranquility...he walked up to the girl.
[Roleplay] The young girl jumped to her feet, in doing so erased her markings. Her face was almost completely shadowed by the hood, but where her face could be assumed was looking straight at you.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru stopped in front of her. "This isn't a place young girls should play in. You should head back to your village, your parents must be worried"
[Roleplay] The short figure stood there, unmoving, almost as if you weren't there, but if you weren't there to her why had she gotten up so suddenly?
[Roleplay] A twig snapped behind Kagomaru *thinking to himself*"...dammit this place stinks of bandits... I was so focused on my thoughts that I didn't even notice it..." A bandit charged him from behind, but Kagomaru evaded his attack. He got in front of the girl and unsheathed his sword. *in a low voice*"...you shall die this day, fool..."
[Roleplay] The figure didn't flinch, but as the stranger stepped closer she stepped back the same distance. In her head she smirked, but it was not shown on her face-- not that her face was visible.
[Roleplay] The bandit jumped back as he was joined by several of his comrads. One of the bandits stepped forward and said "We've been hired by the nearby village to kill a demon that's been attacking villagers. "Takeing a deep breath Kagomaru noticed that her scent wasn't that of a human, but a half-breed. Pointing his katana towards the leader of the bandits he asked, "She is no youkai you fools, she's a hanyou... and she's too small to cause any trouble. Leave now and keep your lives, I'm in no mood to fight wrenches like you...". Then Kagomaru turned towards the child." *in a low voice* did you really attack the villagers?" Kagomaru sniffed the air once more...The scent wasn't comeing from the girl...it was a stench of death, and a mix of blood that came from nearby, behind the bandits.
[Roleplay] With almost a whisper... as hard to heard as a soft breeze, the girl spoke, 'hmm'. She still stood still and the sound could have easily been missed or assumed not real.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru thought he heard something from the girl behind him...though he was focused on the bandits now..."We're under orders, now stand aside or die!" he grinned at the bandit's bold statement, then quickly rushed towards one of them, turning and stabbing the bandit with his sword while facing the girl. The other bandits quickly retreated in fear and amazement." Get them!!!" The leader shouted and more bandits jumped from the nearby trees and bushes.
[Roleplay] The girl had vanished before Kagomaru had turned around.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru turned towards the rest of the bandits... "leave this place now...", the turned away and sheathed his sword... The bandits while in awe of the stranger's reaction, took head in his words and slowly started retreating... Kagomaru turned towards the girl once more, "Are you alright?"
[Roleplay] The girl quickly danced though the forest, talking in her whisper she made good time until she stopped at a cave. She muttered something, waited, then nodded and entered the cave.
[Roleplay] The girl had vanished ... Kagomaru shook his head and kept going... he stopped by a lake under the shade of a tree and started making a fire...
[Roleplay] He started looking around for something to eat... The guttering noise of a boar soon caught his attention... He slowly approached his pray and with lightning-fast speed brought it down with a stab to the neck... He took the body back to camp where the started roasting it... It was a small boar but it was more then enough for his needs...he laid back against the tree looking at the calm of the water and how it reflected the sky and clouds...
[Roleplay] The girl entered the cave, walked slowly to the back and said "Hello?" softly but heard. She heard a low growl and crawled forward, sat, and curled up in a ball. The growl must have been the reply she had stopped for.
[Roleplay] He was thinking of the time he spent with his beloved in this world... Soon a song she used to sing came to mind, and he found himself humming it..."hmmmm mmm mhmmm hmmm hmm hmm hm hmmm hmmm..."
[Roleplay] The girl had snuggled against something soft, and fuzzy. She sighed, content.
[Roleplay-OOC] You: 'I forgot to mention that it's a pitch-black dark cave.'
[Roleplay] He started eating...smiling at the same time...he thought of her, of what she liked and it made him happy...
[Roleplay] The girl smiled, and laid there silently, listening to the world outside the cave.
[Roleplay] He quickly finished eating and laid on his back smiling...he stared at the sky..."...what a beautiful world...I'm sure you would have loved it here..."
[Roleplay] The girl let her thoughts travel, but was quickly snapped into reality when she heard someone say something about a fellow who killed a few forest-people. It was one chipmunk to a squirrel. The girl listened it but tried to not be impolite about it.
[Roleplay] Kagomaru fell asleep thinking about her...he missed her but also knew that she was never truly gone as long as he held her close to his heart and never forgot her.
[Roleplay] A bird flew in to the conversation outside. To the best she could hear the guy was sulking about something and talking to himself. The girl wondered if her disappearance had spooked him.
