New Update

Hello everyone! Normally you see the picture that says Demon Life, now it has the two pictures for Demon Life and Wonderland Wars. The reason for this is we are adding a new RP called Wonderland Wars! Don't worry, we are still doing Demon Life as well! I will try to make this as non confusing as possible. From now on Demon Life will be in white and Wonderland Wars will be in yellow and any thing like this will be changed to this purple/pink color. Please hang in there.
~Thank You
   RP Lord

Demon Life: Chapter LAWL ಠ_ಠ

Astuko wakes up in his room in the human world after a long night in the demon world.  

Atsuko: *Opens eye and sits up* What the hell happened? *Slowly turns and sees Fluffy right next to him just standing there*

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Good morning Atsuko~kun!!! Can we go to the park!?

Atsuko: ... No.

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Aww… But its so nice out.

Cecile: *Undrills the screws on the door, falls* Oh- Were you guys just going to the park? I was going to ask you and Homura out for a stroll. What perfect timing.  

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Yay!!!

Astuko: *Sighs* Fine, but let me put my door back up.

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Atsuko~kun, be quiet no one was asking you.

*Homura & Ziral: Homura woke up in her bed, warm and snug. Standing at the foot of her bed was Ziral, cracking his knuckles. Homura sat up and wrapped the blankets around herself. “Good morning, princess,” Ziral spoke, his voice loud in the silent room, though it was in her mind. Homura frowned at his snarky tone. “Good morning to you too, sassy fox.” Ziral snorted and roughly gave her hair a ruffle. Unlike her demon world self, the Homura of Earth was gentler; she squeaked and covered her head with her hands. “Hey!” The power and confidence she had contained in her stance and soul was now gone. In its place was a hollow space reserved for love and smiling. The majority of her soul felt numb, scared, and a bit indifferent to the memories she had from the demon world.

Cecile: *Knocks on Homura’s apartment door*

Homura & Ziral: Homura looked up at Ziral, hugging the blanket around her tighter to hide her insecurity. He saw the familiar fear in her eyes gave her a gentle look to comfort her before going over to the door and opening it. “Oh, Cecile,” Ziral greeted the cottage-of-many-smells’ owner, voice flat, though intrigued by her presence.

Cecile: Hey, Ziral, we’re all going for a walk in the park, would you and Homura like to come along? I can understand if she doesn’t want to though. If she’s not feeling up to it. I just thought it’d be fun.

Atsuko: So why do you knock on their door but not mine?

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Shut up Atsuko~kun.

Atsuko: You little brat.

Homura & Ziral: He looked back at her for an answer. Homura nervously nodded. I was friends with them in the demon world...maybe I can be friends with them in this world as well. As long as Ziral was beside her, whether she was filled with confidence or not, she would feel safe. Ziral turned back to Cecile. “Yeah, we’ll go. Give us some time to get ready, though. Where do you want to meet?”

Cecile: *Smiles brightly, excited* Great! We’ll wait for you right in front of the park, sounds okay?

Homura & Ziral: He nodded and closed the door. Homura narrowed her eyes at him, a red blush faintly painting her cheeks. “Um...go.” He looked over at her with a hurt expression. What had he done wrong in the 5 minutes she had been awake? “Why?” Her blush spread and intensified as she said reluctantly admitted, “I have to change.” He sighed and turned around to face the wall; the whole ordeal over the paranoia of bare skin always perplexed him. Especially when it came to Homura. It’ll kill her to know that I’ve seen her naked, he thought, amused as he faced the wall. I’ve seen the very essence of her soul- the most naked part of any life form. Breaking from his thoughts, he gave a grumpy, “fine. Make it quick.” She blushed vibrantly and scurried to the closet, changing into a new pair of clothes quickly that she had chosen at random.

Cecile: *Turns to Atsuko and Fluffy* Well, we'll all meet in front of the park, so get ready and meet us there. We'll go first. *Holding Zess' hand, walks away*

Atsuko: Whatever. *Follows the pair of people*

Mr.Fluffywovemitten: *Skips behind Atsuko*

Cecile: *Arrives in front of the park, waiting for Homura and Ziral, leaning against Zess, taking a nap*

Homura & Ziral: The two emerged from around the corner, heading towards the park. Homura was wearing a red skirt with black leggings underneath along with some old sneakers. Her blouse was simple and white, and her hair was unrestrained, flowing over her shoulders and to her hips. A large grey sweatshirt was slung over her shoulders, possibly to provide warmth for her trembling frame. Ziral, an arm over her covered shoulders, was noticeably without his jacket. His broad shoulders seemed bigger without something to cover it. Unfazed by the biting cold, he led Homura to where Cecile and Zess were. “Hey,” he greeted blandly, eyes sniping Atsuko dead. He wished he could do that at this moment. Homura grasped Ziral’s white shirt, speaking softly, “hello.” Her demeanor contrasted sharply with her demon world form.

Atsuko: Good morning

Mr.Fluffywovemitten: Good morning Homura~chan and Ziral~kun!

Cecile: *Smiles, waking up* Well, I suppose we’re all here then. Let’s go then? There’s a nice lake around here, we can walk around there somewhere.

Homura & Ziral: “How come you wanted to walk?” Ziral questioned respectively, keeping his arm around Homura as they began their descent down the hill, following the cobblestone path that lead to the mentioned lake. His eyes glanced down to Homura to silently check up on her before flickering back up to Cecile. Homura had given up on the idea of being friends with Cecile and Atsuko in this world. Her subdued eyes looked nervously around the park, searching the faces of the people who passed by. She pressed the side of her face into Ziral’s side, which was comfortably solid and warm. Ziral stopped for a moment, caught off guard by Homura’s weight on his side. He resumed walking after he adjusted his arm on her. “You should have worn something warmer,” he murmured to her with soft scolding. She replied with a quivering voice tinged with frustration. “You rushed me!”

Atsuko: Why are we here, Cecile?

Cecile: *Yawns* Well, it’s more fun with everyone here right?

Mr.Fluffywovemitten: *Looks over and sees a playground area and runs off to go there very quietly*

Cecile: Where’d Fluffy go? *Looking around, walks off to find her, Zess follows*

Atsuko: God dammit Fluffy. *Runs to go find her*

Homura & Ziral: Ziral watched, a small smile of amusement creeping onto his mouth. A satisfactory sensation washed over him as he witnessed Atsuko become frustrated. Serves him right. Dumbass needs to keep his life in order. Homura ‘s amber eyes were gazing up at Ziral, almost tearful in her gloom. “I want to go home,” she said softly to Ziral, sarcastically hoping that she wouldn’t ruin his amusement. He looked down at her and ruffled her hair gingerly, eyes kind towards her. “We can go back to the apartment soon. I just thought you’d enjoy some fresh air after being stuck inside.” She looked down and away from him, casting her eyes after Atsuko, now in the distance. She had meant “home”, as in her home. She didn’t want to go back to the apartment. She wanted to go home to her family, where she felt comfortable and where she could feed the void inside her, longing for a sense of security. She had only been able to appease that void so far in the demon world. But even then, she wasn’t with her family there. “Don’t think about them. That was in the past. You weren’t even completely happy then either. Trust me. It may be hard now, but you’ll smile eventually. Even on Earth, you’ll be smiling. I’ll make sure of it. You have my truest word.” Surprised by his voice, Homura froze and kept her eyes away from him. She didn’t want him to see the tears that threatened to stream from her eyes. She didn’t think he would be able to read her mind like that when she wasn’t talking to him. His hand patting her head told her otherwise, but also comforted her at the same time. Wiping her eyes with his jacket’s sleeve, she blinked and returned her attention to Atsuko’s chase, though Ziral knew that she was grateful for his words.

Atsuko: *After 10 minutes of run and searching for the turtle child he stopped to catch his breath at a bench*

SUDDENLY

He was there, sitting on the park bench, and then suddenly got eaten by a floating, hairy leg.

Cecile: *Looks up, a little surprised* Well… This was unexpected.

Zess: I suppose… We were transported into some dimension.?

Atsuko: *Looks around* Did we go to bed?
Homura & Ziral: Homura let out a bone chilling wail of fear and went to jump into Ziral’s arms, though that was a little hard to do with Ziral being a giant fox, flames rippling and casting luminice onto their quarters. Instead, Homura buried her tears into his foreleg, fur drying her tears on contact. He touched her gently with his nose to calm her, eyes darting around their space as he struggled to comprehend how they had ended up in such a way.

Cecile: *Looks over at Atsuko* What did you do Atsuko?

Atsuko:*Looks around* I don’t… think… I- I got eaten I think.

Zess: *Wrinkles his nose* It smells terrible in here. Like rotting flesh almost.

Atsuko: Well I did get eaten by a giant leg.

Homura & Ziral: Eyes darting to Atsuko, Ziral erupted into an angry snarl. “You stupid son of a bitch!” he roared in full fury, powered on by Homura’s terrified cries. His anger manifested into a wall of fire, somewhat resembling a nine-tailed fox. Lashing out, he rushed at Atsuko in a stream of flame, meeting him with the force of a bus going at full speed. Sending him flying, he went on to split into two, one part of him slashing his flaming claws across the sorry kid’s face while the other seemed to be Ziral in human form, cutting his gut open with a sword. Blood evaporating in the heat which almost suffocated their containment, both of Ziral’s forms collapsed into one and leapt to tear Atsuko’s chest open. With each angry movement, flames flew from the fox, flying through the air and colliding with whatever happened to be in their way long before they extinguished.

The fire flew across Atsuko, Cecile, and Zess. It came in contact with the... Ceiling? And parts of it crumbled and fell down, hitting Zess in the head.

Zess: *Twitches, turns his head, electricity crackled visibly in air around Zess* Which damn punk did that? *Eyes glowing yellow, glaring at those around him*

Homura & Ziral: Turning slowly, Ziral’s eyes glowed with a single flame that whisped out of the socket. “This ‘punk’ did that, you runty reject,” he spat, the room only growing more intensely hot. With the heat continuing to rise, the levels of oxygen began to drop. Homura had recovered from her terrified shock and watched Ziral’s attack on Atsuko, too stunned to say anything. Now, giving herself a slight shake, she felt a mutual anger rise within her being that drove her to race to her companion’s side. Without a thought to propel her actions, she drew out both of her swords, the thin silver blades growing hot in the atmosphere. What kindness had been in her eyes in the demon world was now possessed by a defiant rage that turned those pretty emerald jewels into green venom. In unison, their eyes flashed with hate. “I hope you remember who it is you’re talking to,” Ziral’s voice seethed out, dripping with aggression. Homura’s tail lashed, bristling with fury. “Back down!” she barked, tone matching Ziral’s perfectly. It seemed that the angrier they became, the more similar they became as well.

Atsuko: *Steps forward a little* Ok this needs to stop! Lets just all take a deep breath and figure out where we are.

Cecile: *Snaps her whip, electricity sparking. She bares her fangs, hissing at Homura and Atsuko* No. Leave Zess be, I haven't seen him like this in such a long time. *Licking her lips, pleased*

HygggghZess: *Growls* Who I'm talking to eh? *Sarcastically* Oh right, Lord freaking Ziral. My other half called you that. Not. Me. *Sparks grows stronger and more intensely than ever* Don't you think I've been trapped inside that little pretentious asshole long enough? *Eyes seeming to glow a golden yellow, angered*

Atsuko: *Looks around and wonders* Fluffy where are you! *She/he spots a small dot of pink* *She/He yells* Fluffy come over here.

Mr.Fluffywovemitten: *Wakes up and sees the commotion* Okay! *Fluffy imediately goes to Atsuko and hangs out on her/his head*

Atsuko: We’re all together now so lets go! *Atsuko said almost starting to panick*

Homura & Ziral: Without hesitation, Ziral and Homura leapt into battle. Ziral’s body changed shape to become the nine tailed fox he had displayed earlier, body entirely made up of flame. He spun and sent a wave of fire at Cecile and Zess, taking the opportunity to jump and land on Zess’s shoulders. His touch burned intensely; Ziral’s flaming body was consisted of gas, but the jaws that rushed to meet Zess’s fragile spinal stem where purely solid. His sunk his fangs into the wolf, blood evaporating on contact. Homura went for Cecile, feeling Ziral inside her mind, telling her what to do since she had never had any formal training. She feigned an attack on the right and swung in on the left, dual blades crossing over Cecile’s flesh.

Cecile: *Despite Homura's blades cutting into her, grinned happily* Ahh, I haven't felt this in years. *Her sidss cracking, pieces falling off. She turned to face Homura, lashing out at her blades, catching them and and swung. Ripping off the swords and pieces of her along with it. The blades flew and Cecile stares at Homura with crazed, joyous eyes* MORE! *She cried out, the smell of blood driving her insane, causing a lightning shower as she doesn't realize her surroundings*

Zess: *Shakes Ziral off, growls but is distracted by Cecile. Seeing that the smell of blood had driven her mad, he took one last look at Ziral, hesitating, then lunged toward Cecile, pushing her over as her fangs sank into his shoulder. He whines in pain but keeps Cecile pinned under him, Zess returns to normal, the sparks of electricity fading away*

Homura & Ziral: Still possessed by a demonic rage, both Ziral and Homura attacked the two in their unguarded stance. Homura followed Ziral’s instructions and rushed at the subdued Cecile, swinging her arm in an arch that unleashed a torrent of magma bits large enough to cause serious damage. Ziral swelled with fury, using his telekinesis to fling both individuals against the wall of their confinement. Picking up her swords, Homura shook herself off and flew at the both of them, slashing at the last second before she crashed into them. Ziral narrowed his eyes and began to strangle them with his mind, shrinking to become a smaller, fiery vulpes.

Zess: *Who had returned to his obedient self, desperate to protect Cecile, who was fulfilled at the blood she took and had fallen into a deep sleep* Calm, m'lord. Mistress had taken an awful lot of my blood and she had fallen asleep. Torture me at will, but leave her alone. Any more blood spilt will awaken my mistress. *Still standing over Cecile, dips his head* It was my mistake to have not avoided the falling stones. Lady Homura, you as well, calm and forgive me. Please, leave Mistress alone. I do not wish to see her driven insane again.

*Homura & Ziral: Homura said nothing, stepping back to stand beside Ziral. The fox snarled and lifted Zess from the ground, force tightened around his throat. “You’ll die twice then, once for you, and once for that bitch you call your girlfriend,” he roared in fury, smashing Zess into the ground only to raise him again and jerk him back and forth. The hold he had on his neck began to grow hotter and hotter, until it began to scorch the skin beneath. Homura watched impassively, eyes void of any emotions. The fox mentally grabbed onto Zess’s lower legs and began to pull in opposite directions, essentially about to tear him apart.

Cecile: *Wakes up, sees Zess in the air, directs a plasma at him and smiles as it shot out from her hand, hitting right on, Zess falls, whining in pain. Cecile stands up gracefully and brushes herself off* Well then, now that that's over. Why don't you two calm down first and find us when you're calm. *Smiles warmly, heals Zess and swung him over her shoulders* Forgive our leave. And stop that telekinesis, for goodness sake. It's hurting my companion and I hate having my personal space getting invaded by unwanted forces. Zess is very weak as of now because of my actions. And I'm in no mood for fighting, I've already satiated my thirst. Ziral, you understand how much I despise blood being spilt, and keep your girl from digging around my flesh. I can't guarantee what I'll do if she does the same next time. *Turning towards them with a defiant gaze, snarling* Think twice before you try to rip my boyfriend's head off next time. Oh, one more thing. Leave. Us. The. Hell. Alone. *Cecile bares her fangs, fierce and angered as a column of lightning surrounds the fox companions. She jumps away gracefully, Zess over her shoulders and disppears leaving behind flashes of blue sparks. The lightning columns fades out slowly but their presence and everything along with it had vanished completely in this odd dimension.*

TO BE CONTINUED...

Demon Life: Chapter 6

Homura & Ziral: Ziral allowed Zess to lead them; he bounded across the earth gracefully, never stumbling or pausing. The flames of his tail swished and rippled in the current of air, embers drifting and vanishing into the air in a disappearing linear trail. Usually, the flaming fox would’ve kept his head still, creating a more aerodynamic effect to his running, but now, with bi-gender Atsuko hanging from his maw, he let his head be tossed to and fro in the sprint after Zess. Homura kept her hands woven into Ziral’s scruff with her feet wrapped around his thick neck; she was jostled by his erratic cranial roller coaster, but didn’t feel the effects as hard due to her positioning on him. Ziral rounded over a hill and gracefully jumped to the ground in an arc from its peak. They now faced Zess and Cecile’s cottage, a cute little thing. Lowering his head, Ziral released Atsuko and spat onto the ground in disgust to rid himself of the horrid taste left behind by the bi-gender’s shirt. Homura slid from his back and went over to meet the dazed he-she. “Did you have a good trip?” she asked, humor shining in her eyes to slightly contradict her concerned tone.

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: Hey Ziral~kun!!! you should put it down! You don’t know where it’s been!

Astuko: *Dizzy look* Ya… I’m-m okay...

Cecile: *Smiles* Well then. Here we are. *Arrives at a small cottage next to a lake* It's just our humble little cottage. *Chuckles* Welcome, make yourself at home. I'll got make some coffee and tea, Zess can you show them around? *Zess nods*

Zess: *Trots slowly over to the side of the cottage revealing a door, nudges and pushes the door open with his nose* Come on in, we'll have tea in the back. There's a nice lake as well, Mistress likes to spend her time besides the lake, enjoying the view. *Smiles warmly*

Homura & Ziral: Ziral gave Homura one last look with his ruby chiseled eyes before trotting over to meet Zess. He was hesitant to leave her behind with Atsuko, but figured that with their telepathic connection he would be able to sense when she was in trouble. With a silent gesture of his tail towards the turtle, he brushed past the wolf and entered the backyard. His moist nose twitched at the new scents rushing to meet him. “You’ve a nice place, Zess,” he commented absently, thoughts obstructed by the warm scent of sun warmed grass. Homura turned from watching Ziral and grabbed Atsuko’s wrist to help him to his feet. “Let’s go inside to have tea and coffee with Cecile.”

Atsuko: *Blushes* O-okay… Thank you.

Zess: Thank you, Lord Ziral. Mistress picked the place since she enjoyed the lonliness of the area. *Dips head slightly*

Cecile: *Walks out carrying a tray*

Homura & Ziral: “Why does she want to be alone? She has you, doesn’t she? Which means that she is in fact not alone,” Lord Ziral replied, meeting Zess’s gaze with his own blatant and curious one. Homura smiled as Cecile approached, meeting her halfway. Her tail wagged involuntarily, white fur swishing audibly. “This looks so good!” She looked back at Atsuko with an excited smile. The sunlight beaming into her eyes made them flash vibrantly emerald.

Zess: Mistress likes the lonley feeling of the place, she does not like to be bothered by others. It's true that I'm with her but, we like to have our place to ourself, and ourself only.

Atsuko: *Thinks to her/himself* Wow Homura looks pretty. <3

Cecile: *Grins* Homura! Well, I'm glad you think so. I had brew the coffee and tea myself, although I don't know if I should bring out plates for Ziral and Zess... Oh, and Homura, can you come help me with the cookies?

Homura & Ziral: He gave a convinced blink and turned away, speaking no more about the topic. The black nose of his went down to the ground again, flaring and snorting back out the dust that invaded his olfactory system along with the scents of the earth. Smells are a beautiful thing to a canine. Homura nodded enthusiastically at Cecile and giggled, shoulders scrunching up in the vocalized amusement. “I think Ziral and Zess should be fed dog treats.” The white ears upon her head twitched to follow in suit with her bubbly aura. She blinked open her eyes, which had closed in the giggling, to watch Ziral; the big fox was by the lake, nose buried in the reeds clustered by its shore.

Cecile: *Laughs* Yes, I have that too. *Walks through the door toward the kitchen*

Atsuko: *Looks at Zess & Ziral* … Hey Zess and Ziral…

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: *Jumps on Atsuko’s Head* Don’t talk to them Atsuko, they’ll catch your stupid.

Atsuko: *Looks up at fluffy* What did you say?

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: You heard me.

Homura & Ziral: Homura followed Cecile into her house, leaving Atsuko behind. Ziral turned his head to glare at Atsuko from afar. He stood by the lake, nose smeared with mud and eyes sharper than knives. “What do you want?” he snapped, lips threatening to curl.

Atsuko: *Looks at Ziral then turned away* Why do I bother?

Homura & Ziral: Narrowing his optics, he growled lowly and padded over to Atsuko. With each step, his claws sunk into the earth, leaving behind a trail of vertical crescents. This little bastard, Ziral cursed in his thoughts. When would he learn to leave him alone?  “The hell do you want?” the flaming fox barked, ivory fangs gleaming with the movement of his maw.

Atsuko: *Turns back to Ziral* Nothing you can help me with.

Homura & Ziral: The nerve of this asshole! Unable to hold back any longer, Ziral’s crimson eyes flashed, emitting their own luminescence as he unleashed his power; flames dancing in his slitted pupils, he cast this fiery and sinister gaze upon Atsuko, instantaneously setting him alight with dancing flames of his own.

Atsuko: * Screams and runs into the lake* Damn that hurt!

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: *Sniffles and starts sobbing*

Atsuko: *Gently grabs Fluffy off his/her head* Fluffy! Are you okay?!

Mr. Fluffywovemitten: *Sobs more*

Atsuko: *Glares at Ziral and growls*

Cecile: *Walks out along with Homura, carrying cookies* Now now, what’s all this commotion about?

Homura & Ziral: Homura gasped and dropped the plate she had been helping Cecile carry out, hands going to cover her gaping mouth. Eyes widening with terror, she lost her breath letting out a scream. Not yet in his final form, the pyrofox lord vanished from where he had been a second earlier to where he hovered now, eye level with Atsuko and centimeters away. He was the size of a normal fox now, reverting from six feet to a meager two, though his expression was just as threatening this up close. His flaming pelt was exceedingly hot now, heat flowing out of him and scorching the air, turning the color of the atmosphere around him red; his body was rigid with muscular tension and the flames in his eyes had begun to seep out, dissipating into the air once they flowed past his ear. His fangs were bared and long, black claws hung from his tense paws. With a flick of his ear, he sent Atsuko flying away, plowing him into the ground on the other side of the lake. The anger in his eyes had been replaced with icy cold satisfaction. Floating to the ground, Lord Ziral made a gentle landing. In response to the upped temperature of his fur, the ground and anything around him burst into flame, soon withering in ashes. “Ziral, stop!” Homura cried from the cottage, though her plead went unnoticed with the fox.

Cecile: *Flits to Ziral’s side* Please, calm down. I want nothing unpleasant here. *Within a second, darts to Atsuko’s side, eyes gentle but demanding* I understand your anger. But do not let me see you provoke Ziral once more, at least not in my place. *To both Ziral and Atsuko* And understand that both your reckless actions upsets Homura.   

Suddenly a huge cloud over Ziral started pouring rain on him...

Atsuko: * When he/she sees Zirals glare through the fog he/she sets Fluffy to the side*

Homura & Ziral: Under the aerial siege of rain, Ziral sizzled and was gone in a cloud of vapor. Seconds later, he appeared once more in full fiery suit and with another flick of his ear, sent Atsuko flying off into the distant background. Homura rushed towards them, eyes alight with more fire than Ziral’s pelt. She smacked Ziral on the head and, with an angry stomping of her foot, shouted, “you stupid dog! Why do you always have to be like this?! And you, Atsuko!” Rage bubbling up, she growled a feral sound of her own and bristled angrily. Ziral watched her impassively as his anger subsided and he returned to normal. “He was asking for it. That idiot knows I don’t like him.”

Atsuko: *Gets up and looks at Homura* Homura I’m sorry, but all I did was say ‘hi’ to him and he got all pissy so I just asked him why I even bother, that’s all.

Homura & Ziral: Giving them both a glare, she stormed off back to the cottage, white hair whipping in the wind behind her. She couldn’t believe Ziral. Why was he always getting into fights with Atsuko? Feeling Ziral’s mind brush her own, she shoved him away and entered the cottage.   He flared his nose in response to her coldness. Ziral gave his pelt a shake and looked up at Cecile, not minding his small stature at the current point. Size did not handicap him. “I’m sorry. I won’t fight on your land again. As long as that dumbshit over there isn’t present, at least.”

Atsuko: *Looks at Cecile with ears folded down apologetically* Yeah, it’s probably best that I just leave. *Starts to walk away*

Cecile: It's alright, Ziral. *Hovers to the front of Atsuko stopping him* I invited you all here for a reason. Please. Stay, but leave if you really feel that it's the best.

Atsuko: *Looks up at her* Could you take care of Fluffy, okay?

Zess: *Walks slowly over to their side* Atsuko-sama, you don't seem to know how to control your powers yet.

Atsuko: *Looks down to Zess* What do you mean Zess?

Zess: Did you notice how a certain rain cloud formed over Ziral as you two were busily shouting at each other? I'm quite certain your powers are the control over water. Like Mistress Cecile here, her ability to control lightning. Yours are similar but you can't seem to control it yet.

Atsuko: … *Has moment of realization* So I’m like…. *Smiles* A wizard!

Cecile: *Smirks* Sure. I could help you train to control them Atsuko. As you know, lightning and water are perfect together.

Atsuko: *Smiles at Cecile* Really?! You’ll help me?

Cecile: *Smiles sweetly* Of course, right after we have tea. Come along now. *Walks back toward the cottage*

Atsuko: *Follows Cecile and Zess only stopping to pick up Fluffy who was sound asleep*

Homura & Ziral: Finding a chance to slip away, Ziral vanished into thin air, leaving only embers behind. He appeared in the cottage, where Homura was sitting on the ground, knotting her shirt angrily. Silently, he padded up to her and slid under her arm, crawling into her lap with puppy-like tail wagging. She hesitated a moment before scratching him behind the ears with both of her hands. I can’t stay mad at him, she thought in surrender. He is my companion, after all. She began to feel less angry as she ran her fingers through Ziral’s warm and silky fur. He grunted and closed his eyes, limp and relaxed in her lap; his head rested on her thigh while the rest of his body was draped over her lap, his tail resting on the floor. “Please don’t fight anymore,” Homura murmured gently to the fox, caressing him gingerly as she welcomed him into her mind. He rolled over and looked at her, his chiseled eyes meeting her sparkling emerald ones. “I won’t fight if you won’t stop touching me with those blessed hands of yours. You’re the only one who’s ever touched me in such a way.” Ziral wagged his tail and closed his eyes, pure ectasy washing over him as Homura pet him. How long had it been since he had been pet in such a way? Never? He never wanted it to end. Anger completely fading into the past, Homura giggled and picked him up by the arms, bringing him close to her face so that she could give his wet nose a kiss. “That’s right, your fur is fire. I promise to scratch behind your ears more often.”  In return, Ziral licked her nose, pupils swelling with affection. He whimpered happily and began to lick her face wildly, exposing his playful soft side to her. If anyone else had been in the cottage, Lord Ziral would not have acted in such a domesticated way.

Cecile: *Chuckles* Am I interrupting something here? *Smiles and winks at Homura before reentering the house, comes out carrying a tray of cookies* Certainly a good thing that I baked more cookies.

Homura & Ziral: Ziral  jumped away from Homura in shock, bristling with embarrassment and returning his eyes to their cold hostility. He sat beside Homura at a comfortable distance. Homura smiled at Cecile. “Ziral was apologizing to me,” she giggled, patting the fox’s head. Flames firing up momentarily, he turned his face away from the two girls to glower in seclusion.

Cecile: *Smiles* That's very sweet of him to do so. Well, we're finally ready. Would you prefer coffee or tea, Homura? And you, Ziral?

Homura & Ziral: Ziral made a quiet noise and gave his answer to Homura, whose eyes sparkled with amusement at his whiskers twitching indignantly. “I’ll have coffee. Ziral will have tea. Thank you!” Now that things had been settled with Ziral, she felt like a brick had been lifted from her heart, where she had felt a frightening amount of anger weighing her down. I’ll have to make sure I keep my anger in check next time Ziral does something, she noted in her head.

Cecile: *Pours tea and coffee along with a plate of cookies, setting it down on Zess' back letting him take it over to Homura and Ziral* What about you Atsuko and Fluffy?

Atsuko: I’ll have tea and Fluffy is sleeping so I think she’s fine for now. Thank You.

Cecile: Alright then. *Brings a cup of tea and a plate of cookies and sets it in front of Atsuko*

Atsuko: *Shyly looks at Homura, gulps and sets Fluffy down and takes a step towards Homura* Homura, I’m really sorry for all the trouble I always cause. *Get on hands and knees and bows to to her* And to you as well Ziral.

Homura & Ziral: Homura blushed and raised her hands up, surprised at the sudden apology from her friend. “No, no! It’s fine! It’s really Ziral who should be apologizing to you!” As she spoke these words, Ziral shot Atsuko an icy glare, though he restrained himself from doing nothing. His canine instincts put loving pets far beyond the need to bite someone.  Homura smiled at Atsuko. “There’s no need to be so dramatic with your apologies. You don’t always cause trouble,” she reassured him, giving a bright smile to lighten up the mood.

Atsuko: *Looks up at them* Homura, it really was not his fault, please don’t blame him. *Turns to Ziral and bows to him*

Homura & Ziral: He gave a grunt of reluctant satisfaction and turned away, dipping his head to consume his tea. Dumbass. Homura sighed and figured she’d “forgive” Atsuko, just so that he would stop bowing. Poor kid. “I forgive you, Atsuko. It’s okay. We can still be friends.”

Atsuko:  *Stands up and smiles* Thank you I promise it won’t happen again. *Turns to Cecile and Zess* I also must apologize to you two as well.

Cecile: *Smiles and walks over to Atsuko, pats his head* Just make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Zess: *Come up from behind Atsuko, nudges him* Don’t anger Mistress Cecile. It’s frightening when she gets infuriated.

Homura & Ziral: Homura lifted her mug of coffee and patted the ground beside her. “Come sit by me, Atsuko, and let’s have a drink. The coffee tastes really good.”

Atsuko: *Blushes then smiles* Okay. *Walks over to Homura with her/his tea*

Homura & Ziral: Homura smiled up at him before taking a sip of her scalding coffee. Ziral said nothing, but glared harshly over at Atsuko. “Why have you invited him here? This is our spot.” Homura reached over with her other hand to stroke Ziral’s head. “Bear with him, please. You might not like him, but I do.” He huffed and licked the residue from the tea from the cup. Her petting appeased his angry and protective heart, but his mind lingered on the two words that plagued his mind. “I do”.

Atsuko: *He/She ignored his glare and just sat down next to Homura*

Cecile: *Grins and lays on top of Zess’ back* Well, after this, we’ll have to start your ‘training’, Atsu-Chan. *Winks and smiles darkly*  

Atsuko: *Fear floods to Atsuko* *Thinks to him/herself* Oh god! She’s gonna kill me!

Damn It Atsuko!!!

Sorry for not posting anything on Friday, we had a small issue with someone falling asleep. Not going to name, names. *cough cough* Atsuko *cough cough*.
Atsuko: Like no one on this freaking planet has fallen asleep in the middle of a fight!
Mr.Fluffywovemitten: Atsuko~kun, everyone can sleep except you because I want your stuff!
Atsuko: Shut it Fluffy.
Any way sorry for the inconvenience we will be RPing this weekend and post stuff on Sunday night!
