[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/w3JpDAb.png[/img] 'And' her master Lin~[/center] As Shikio had finished her meal that Lin had bought for her she was quite satisfied. And yet as she followed him around for the reminder of the day the evening would soon settle in. As they were appoaching Lin's dorm Shikio were pondering about staying by his side or not, she wanted to be close to him yet realix she haden't checked out her own supoosed room yet. Uncertainty settled in her and a bit of curiosity crept over. Eventually she decided that she would give him a chance to miss her rather than just counting on her being there. Sighing slightly she looked to Lin [color=purple]"Lin... Wait"[/color] she said a bit uncertainty at first. Yet she approached him slowly at first. [color=purple]" There's... Something i need to tell you"[/color] she said as she drew closer, her tail slightly raised and wagged as she closed the distance between them and eventually she quickly snuggled up towards him gaving him a glomp. [color=purple]"Good night... Master... [/color] she said as she leaned in and gave his left cheek s big lick as she hugged him tightly. She then let go and backed off again."[color=purple]"I'm... Going to my room than..."[/color] she said as she somewhat jogged of with a curious spring to her steps and tail still slightly raised. Lin raised an eyebrow to Shikio's suddenly being so calm and kind of submissive. It was odd to see the self-proclaimed alpha female acting like this. [color=purple][b]"W-What the hell?! D-Don't just suddenly lick my cheek, you...!"[/b][/color] What, it was kind of a goodbye kiss? Well, she's a dog, so Lin couldn't really blame her. [color=purple][b]"You don't need to be all gloomy and odd like that. One woman sleeping in the same room as me is enough for me, thank you. I really [i]really[/i] did not expect for you to sleep in the same room as me."[/b][/color] Lin scratched the back of his head. [color=purple][b]"Keep an eye on your roommates. Someone among them might have that Eye."[/b][/color] He warned Shikio, before turning on his heel and walking towards his own dorm, while lazily waving goodbye at Shikio. Shikio glanced back slightly to see if he followed her or not, but as she noticed him waving to her and having heard his complaints she but smiled to him. She raised her tail fully shot it out slight while leaning over to give him a rather full good pose while licking her lips. [color=purple]"Well excuse me for not asking permission to show master my love~"[/color] she called back to him before retreating again at a light jog far beyond full speed. It seemed she at the moment was giving him quite the show just for a chance that he could chase after her... Or call her over, or even possibly make him angry. It didn't change the fact that she felt it were unfair that he simply could summon her from wherever, but she couldn't do the opposite... Not that he seemed to do that, as he always made her come find him. As Lin were out of sight her tail dropped again and she slowly kicked the ground as she made it back towards her dorm knowing full and well it was very unlikely that he would try something that was out of his way. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/zPebRo8.png[/img][/center] After a heart breaking departure from her master, Shikio had slowly sat out towards her room after settling down from the spring she had in her steps when she left. Perhaps now she just took it slow because she wanted Lin to be able to catch up to her on the off chance he actually would want to spend the night with her. The other reason was simply because it took a while for her to read on each door, and to compare it to her note. Yet after a bit of trouble she would eventually find the room she was supposed to stay in. As she looked at the door from outside she felt a tad more anger than before, the room was way too far away from her pack member Lin, and had the scent of at least two others she didn't know... In other words she had been stuffes into a kennel of some kind and that fact annoyed her. Frustrated she paced around in a circle before eventually calming down. Sighing she reached for the handle and opened the door before stepping inside. At that point she simply decided to try to play nice and in worst case run back to Lin with her tail tucked between her legs. [color=purple]"Hello?... I'm Shikio... I'm... Supposed to stay here"[/color] she said as she looked around the room for signs of life. [hr] Lyssa had been content. Sitting cross legged on the bed, noisily slurping down the last of the milkshake and trying to get every last bit of delicious goodness she could out of it. 'Twas a vain, effort, however, for she had already drunk just about all of it she could. Wasn't going to stop her from trying to squeeze a few more out, though. ...mostly because she was actually getting kind of bored. The room had absolutely nothing here that she could play with. Not a video game console in sight. Not even a laptop or something. Seriously, what kind of school was this to deny someone their basic necessities? A laptop with a decent internet connection should be standard! Standard! Finally deciding she had gotten all out of it she could, she smacked her lips. Damn, that was actually a pretty good milkshake. She tossed the now empty Styrofoam cup onto the desk. With a stretch, she sighed, leaning back down on her bed with a dull thump as her body hit the covers. Blegh, how was she supposed to entertain herself? Practicing her magic was a no-no indoors. She might lose focus and accidentally the floor. Or all. Or everything. That'd be bad. Suppose she'd have to go outside then, if she wanted to practice. She was a bit concerned she'd miss her pillow, but well, if she got back before she did and was asleep?...well, then she couldn't say no, hehe~ However, just before she set off to find a quiet, secluded place to go train her arts, the handle turned. Was Iravis back already? Darn, her perfect plan to get a cuddly pillow had been foiled! ...at least that was her thought until she eyed the fluffy, impossibly adorable creature before her. Dear gods...could something be so cute?! And fluffy! Just look at that tail! And those ears! The demon couldn't resist. Wait no. She should introduce herself first. That was the polite and friendly thing to do. Impulse control Lys, impulse control. [color=f6989d]"Uhm, Hihi. I'm Lyssa."[/color] She said walking up to Shiko. [color=f6989d]"But uhm...last name's not important...."[/color] Yep, impulse control failed. Without another word, she grabbed Shiko's tail, quickly kneeling down and burying her face in it. [hr] Shikio soon noticed the other girl in the room and felt slightly more relaxed on the notion that at least she was not staying with a male, however it didn't mean it wouldn't be any fighting... on that notion she knew that some females were a lot more to deal with than simple minded males. The other female spent little time minding her own business and seemed to quickly approach Shikio, an act that first made her wary of the female's intentions. She introduced herself as Lyssa with her last name not being important which it of course weren't, however she still approached Shikio and even if Shikio didn't sense any hostility from Lyssa she was still somewhat on her guard... however Lyssa walked slightly past Shikio making her ears fold back as she wondered if the girl was about to sniff her butt or something which would be a bit odd as she only knew that pack members usually did that... But no... like a pup Lyssa grabbed and started rubbing towards her tail. [color=f6989d]"Aaaah, it's so fluffy!"[/color] The demon loudly, and definitely happily exclaimed. [color=f6989d]"It's so soft and warm!"[/color] Shikio flinched slightly as she glanced to the other female who called her tail fluffy, calling it soft and warm... Shikio was to say the least surprised over the other female's actions, she haden't taken her for a kid at first but now she seemed to be so all over her tail that she considered that fact. She stood watching the other girl for quite a few moments before taking action, after all it took her a while to decide what to do as many thoughts about how to react floated to her mind. She didn't want to start a fight over someone who didn't seem to try to hurt her, quite frankly it was a bit odd but a good kind of odd to be recognized in such fashion. However the fact remained that she couldn't just 'let' the other female touch her without permission either, because that meant she allowed her to walk all over her which weren't a good thing at all. Thus she decided to slowly turn around towards the girl, stepping over her own tail as a slight twist to it didn't bother her so much. Then she would gently lean forward towards the other female and place her own hands on the girls shoulders. [color=purple]"Excuse me Miss Lyssa... but that's my tail..."[/color] she said before pushing the other girl down on the floor and settling above her in a quite dominant fashion, like a canine lecturing their pup or at least a pup of their pack. At this time she paid notice to the other female having horns and wings making her first think that she was a creature connected to some kind of cattle animal, but at the same time cattle didn't have wings... perhaps that was just a miss transformation. [color=f6989d]"Yes it is your tail and it's so warm and fluffy and adorable."[/color] She stated, still rubbing her face into Shiko's tail, until she found herself being pushed towards the ground. The demon let out a disappointed whine. That tail had been fluffier than Iravis could ever possibly be. Not quite as warm, but that felt like it'd make a very good pillow. She looked up at Shiko, giving her the best adorable pout she could possibly muster. Wolf and cattle in the same room, who would have thought?... it sounded like a bad idea to Shikio as she might end up trying to eat the other girl if she grew hungry. However as the other female so rudely had touched Shikio's tail without permission she decided to grab the bull by the horns... or so to speak, as she grabbed the other girls horns and touched them in return even while sitting over her. [color=purple]"now we're even..."[/color] she said actually laughing slightly as she found this 'game' to be quite fun, it had been too long since she had played with anyone and it was a fun change. And in that moment she decided to look a lot more nicely at their actively, to be friendly was a good idea and she didn't mind playing around a bit. [color=f6989d]"Even? My horns aren't cute and fluffy."[/color] She harrumphed, giving the other girl a small pout as though that made perfect since. Thus she let the other girl go and got off her after freeing her own tail, she then brushed it of and turned to help the other female up on her feet if she wanted too. Smiling quite playfully as she looked to her [color=purple]"I'm a Fenrir just so you know... are you some kind of winged Bison?. Do you know that Fenrir eat cattle?... I mean I'm not gona try to eat you... unless I get really hungry I guess, but I think master would be sad if I ate my room mates"[/color] she said as she pondered about the possibilities. This time however she was more prepared if the girl would try to go for her tail again, or simply touch her. She would leap to the side and start to giggle as she would playfully keep her distance in case it would turn into a fun game of chase. [color=f6989d]"I'm not a bison! I'm a demon!"[/color] She replied, giving Shiko a friendly smile. A fenrir, though? wasn't that some sort of dog person? So...Shiko was a puppy! A cute little puppy that would probably like some ear scratches! [color=f6989d]"Alchimia mage, too!"[/color] But that, that was unimportant. That fluffy tail demanded to be used as a pillow, and damn it if she wasn't going to use it as one! First, distract Shiko. [color=Purple]"They are kinda cute..."[/color] she mumbled as she listened to what the girl said, so she weren't a Bison but a Demon?... whatever a Demon was it apperently had both horns and wings and was still cattle. So it didn't really matter at all if she weren't a Bison in the end. [color=purple]"OH... I don't think I ever eaten Demon before... are you tasty?..."[/color] [color=f6989d]"Lyssa...uh, yeah, my last name is a mouthful. Not even gonna try. Don't think I'm tasty though, silly."[/color] She giggled with a small smile. [color=f6989d]"So you're our roommate right? And you know what roommates do? Let them pet that fluffy tail!"[/color] Instead of going right for the tail this time, she instead tackled Shiko. [color=f6989d]"Come oooon, it's so fluffy! let me pet iiiiiit!" [/color] [color=purple]"Yeah... I'm Room mate I guess... and... oh!"[/color] She replied as she quickly realized this was her que to evade The Cattle girl who tried to bull charge her and instead leaped skipped to the side while laughing. [color=purple]"Olé"[/color] she cheered as she swished with her tail like a matador playing with a bull. she then held it like a red cape except it was still blue and laughed even further. [color=f6989d]"Aww, get back here! Let me pet iiit!~"[/color] Lyssa giggled quite loudly as she missed. If she was being serious, she definitely could have gotten the other girl considering her martial training, buuut....where would the fun in that be? [color=purple]"Only if you catch me~"[/color]she replied in turn as she backed off to create some distance from the girl even if she certainly were having a blast. However she changed her mind about running from the bull, she felt slightly predatorial about it and instead quickly dashed closer to her and attempted to pounce on the Cattle girl in return, that sounded even more fun in her head, and that way she could bite her horns or something. Lyssa stood up, turning around and intending to make another leap at the girl, but it seemed Shiko was just a tiny bit quicker. [color=purple]"My turn~"[/color] the fernir said mid-leap as she would tried to pin the girl on her back so that she would have the advantage. Shikio moved swiftly eager to play with this girl, and as she had the chance to pin her to the ground again she took it with a briliant smirk. Lyssa didn't have much time to react at all as Shikio tackled her, sending her to the ground with a small yelp. The wolf was on top of her, pinning her to the ground, and unless she got clever, she had just lost this little brawl. Tsk. Well, she couldn't say she found the situation entirely unfavorable. [color=f6989d] "Owie."[/color] She giggled. [color=f6989d]"Looks like I lost. So, I guess you get to use me as a pillow if you want."[/color] [color=purple]"He-he... Giving up already?... very well as you offer I might as well do that then~"[/color]She did think it was a bit too easy so far however, the wolves back home offered a bit more of a struggle than giving up and not wrestling like this girl did. She looked around the room, it looked like there was but one bed in it and even if that mattered little to her she glanced back to the cattle girl whom had to pick their bedding then... after all it seemed it might be high time for them to sleep. [color=purple]"So... you want to sleep right here on the floor?... back there in that corner or do you actually want to use the bed?"[/color] she asked as she didn't really know what to think about it, she thought she would just curl up here and lay down on the girl if she picked this spot anyway. [color=f6989d]"We~ll."[/color]Lyssa replied with a happy hum. [color=f6989d]"I don't really mind being used as a pillow. Or having you on top of me, so win win, I'd say!~"[/color] She giggled. She could have very well put up a better fight if she wanted too, but she didn't want too. She was honestly a bit tired, and as fluffy as that tail was...she'd get it another night. Still, she wasn't exactly done yet. She reached up towards one of Shiko's ears, and began to playfully scratch the back of it. Shikio let out a heart warming laughter once more as the female replied that she didn't mind having her on top of her... what an odd thing to say, but Shikio figured that dominance didn't matter as much to this girl as it did to her, which was a good thing as that way it was easy to establish. Nodding her head as the cattle girl submitted she were just about to reply to her when her mouth suddenly fell shut and her ear flicked to the touch of it, at first she were surprised... but soon a grin crept across her face once more as she leaned into the ear scratching and her tail started wagging. Shifting slightly Shikio got down closer to the Cattle girl so that she could reach better, loving each second of it even if she said nothing to admit it. Lyssa had to refrain from asking who a good puppy was. As funny as it might have been, she wasn't sure Shiko would have liked it. So instead, she simply continued the motion as a languid grin formed on her lips. It was rather obvious the other girl liked that at least. Honestly, she wouldn't have minded falling asleep like this. Shiko certainly was comfortable, and well...Iravis wasn't here, so she couldn't use her as a pillow. So might as well make the best of it!~ As if on cue, Iravis walked in the room, looking quite a bit flustered. This of course, only earned a small giggle from Lyssa. [hr] The Phoenix had finished up her walk back to the dorm from her visit with Sir Alistar at the library. The legendary bird yawned as she entered the dorm building, ready to get some sleep. Used to living alone, she opened the first door on the left without knocking and stepped into the dorm room. The bed was empty, but it was easy enough to find the demon, considering how loud they were. The Phoenixes eyes drifted towards the floor, where she saw Lyssa beneath another woman. This other woman was probably their roommate. She had some features of a wild beast, with large wolf ears and a luxurious tail. [color=salmon][i]Holo's pack? Fernir? I'm guessing she's from a region further north than I.[/i][/color] But what she was didn't really matter to Iravis at that moment. What mattered was how she was on top of Lyssa, pinning her to the ground. It looked like they had just finished wrestling, and were getting 'comfortable'. The Phoenix's cheeks turned to the color of fire. The embarrassed girl turned away, left hand checking that the door was closed behind her. [hr] Shikio rubbed her head towards Lyssa's chest as she half laid down on her, just about finding some really soft pillows for herself as the door opened and another female stepped in. [color=salmon]"Did I intrude on you two greeting eachother?"[/color] The goddess tried to sound aristocratic, but her tone couldn't manage it and her voice cracked a little. Startled again, Shikio put her hands in front of her ready to leap not kinda thinking where those hands/paws would end up. [color=purple]"....Errr... Hi... I'm Shikio, Room mate... we're deciding on sleeping arrangements... you can join if you like"[/color] she said smiling to the other female even if it was in a rather awkward position. By now, the Phoenix had recovered mentally for the most part. The Goddess decided she would just try an ignore the pair's antics and sat down on the bed's edge, leaving Shiko on top of her newest pillow. [color=f6989d]"Hehe, hey Iravis."[/color] She replied, not exactly minding that Shiko was getting quite a handful of her chest. [color=f6989d]"I found our other roommate!"[/color] She continued from under Shiko. [color=salmon]"A bed is more suitable for a goddess than the ground. I'll sleep here then, and leave the floor as your domain."[/color]Iravis kicked off her shoes, and realized that she was simply too exhausted to care about the newest bedroom dynamics. A lot of new things had happened that day. Sweets, roomates, classes, and seeing Mr. Wick collapse. [color=salmon][i]I'll introduce myself tomorrow. And probably invest in some earplugs.[/i][/color] She hit the light switch and buried herself beneath the sheets, closing her eyes. At least the bed was of high quality and comfortable, that much was for certain. And Warm. [color=f6989d]"Aww, are we going to bed? I wanted to play with Shiko more."[/color] She whined, quite disappointed at the turn of events though only momentrily. [color=f6989d]"Ah well, guess I'm sleeping here tonight."[/color] She looked back up, giving Shiko an oddly mischievous grin. [color=f6989d]"Hehe, so what else are we gonna do?~ I don't wanna keep Iravis up but I'm not all that tired."[/color] [hr] And at that moment, the door slammed open, not giving Shikio much time to answer that question. Iravis remembered that there wasn't a lock on it. The Phoenix sat up, flicking the light switch on. Maybe Sir Alistar was coming to- A man with the metal mask simply walked into the room, opening the door as if it hadn't been locked to begin with. Largely because it wasn't. [i]"Wake up."[/i] His voice, husky but loud, was meant to wake everyone up. [i]"I've come to erase you. However, fighting against women is already hurting my pride. Felling you as you sleep would simply be humiliating, for the both of us."[/i] He extended his hand to the side and, on his chest, something beneath his dark clothes started glowing in a yellow color. [i]"Behold, Tyrfing!"[/i] In his hand, a sword made out of pure steel formed. An Alchimia mage. Lyssa, even though she was still under Shiko could see his magic quite clearly. An alchimia mage. And honestly, she should have been a bit more alarmed by this intrusion, but... [color=f6989d]"Silly, you can't erase people."[/color] She giggled, still under Shiko. The Alchemist stepped forward again, but the Fernir's icicles distracted him for a moment. It only took a single swing to destroy the summoned ice, but the wolf had successfully gotten behind her target. In front, he had the fireball summoning girl. Behind, he had this strange ice wielding woman. There was also the demon on the ground, but she wasn't doing much yet despite the Fernir's call for her to get up. The Alchemist summoned a knife his his other hand, and lunged with both weapons towards the cattlegirl. Iravis grabbed Lyssa and pulled her out of the way, but her irritation was obvious as she shouted at the horned woman. [color=salmon]"Destroy his armament, now!"[/color] [color=f6989d]“W-wha? Why are we fighting!?”[/color] Lyssa asked, completely confused at the turn of events. One moment she had been just about to fall asleep with the most comfortable pillow on top of her, and now they were throwing icicles and fireballs at each other! Just what was going on? Still, she knew enough that standing here was going to be bad, though she didn't get much time to react. Iravis grabbed her, pulling her safely out of harms way. Unfortuantely, she was much slower in taking Iravis' advice and destroying his armament. She could destroy it. Easy enough. It was either steel or Iron from the look of it. That wasn't the problem. The problem here, was that she looked absolutely terrified of something. [color=f6989d]"I don't...I don't want....I mean I can."[/color] She replied, though she sounded unsure. Honestly, she knew she should be helping here. She did want to help Iravis and Shikio, two people that she considered to be her friends, but it seemed that something was bothering the demon so she was a little slow to act. [color=f6989d]"F-fine, I guess I have too...don't I?"[/color] She mumbled, taking a deep breath, and getting into an offensive fighting stance. She'd let the sword guy make the first move here, and despite her earlier hesitation, something changed...just a bit. [color=f6989d]"Well come on, sword guy. Let's get this over with, alrighty?~"[/color] She giggled, a somewhat....odd grin, forming on her lips.' Seeing cattlegirl hesitate Shikio were worried about her team mate, her instincts told her full and well that she needed to cover for a pack member in danger and that meant even assisting their escape if they needed to withdraw. She were about to rush over to cover for her when something about her changed... If it was that she finally got serious or that her survival instincts triggered was something Shikio did not know. However it she didn't seem afraid any longer meaning that she would try to fight and that meant it was best for Shikio to stay where she was and strike any opening she could. Quickly closing in on the opponent still down on all four she used a wolves nimbleness to attempt a strike and retreat move to either draw his attention, catch an opening or give the others one. [color=purple]"Fatal Fury"[/color] she called as she used her claws to swipe towards the opponents back while being equaly ready for a swift retreat. Unfortuantly for the wolf, this alchemist summoned melee weapons for a reason: he excelled at fencing. He rotated, using the knife in his left hand to block while using the sword in his right to swipe down at Lyssa again. Lyssa avoided the blow easily enough, sidestepping to the right. In one swift motion, she caught the alchemists wrist, making sure he wouldn't be able to use it for the moment. Considering her martial training, she was pretty sure she could do it. That sword of his was either steel or Iron from the looks of it, and if she got lucky she could temporarily disarm him. With her free hand, she grabbed the blade, some might have said that was a really stupid move, but there was a breif flash of magic...and the blade compltely crumbled. So steel it was. Without giving him a chance to recover from what probably was a surprise, she made her next move. Letting go of his wrist as the pieces of useless steel fell to the floor, she aimed a swift kick right to his chest. Fortuantly for metal mask, most martial arts had similar principles. The alchemist dodged out of the way, sliding into the table. In a bid to distract the wolf for a moment, he threw the knife at her and summoned a great axe in it's place. "Catch this you demon!" The great axe cleaved the air, aiming straight for Lyssa's skull. Iravis was behind Lyssa, chanting something in a foreign tounge. Shikio quickly sprung backwards as a dagger were swiped in her direction, back-flipping she let her icy spikes shoot up from the floor towars the attacker and then Shikio landed a few steps back as she prowled from a distance. The Enemy slided to the side into a table and threw a dagger her way which she evaded. She then quickly closed the distance seeing the man giving her a big opening by focusing a great-axe to use towards Lyssa. Shikio pounced towards the man and went for the throat of course from behind. If she could sink her fangs and claws around him she wouldn't hesitate to tear him appart. The axe was easy enough for Lyssa to avoid. She ducked under the weapon, lunging forward intending to tackle the man from the front. Unfortuantly for Iravis, she was behind Lyssa at this time. After disinigrating the weapon the previous time, Iravis was expecting a similar performance for the great axe. But no, the hellion dodged and Iravis could only manage to raise her arm as an instinctive block as it was lopped off. Blood sprayed everywhere. The girl's attacks both landed, but the alchemist was talented enough in armor to be able to summon a gorget for his neck The wolves attacks were an incredibly uncomfortable experience, but he lived. The demon's tackle then forced the three into a dogpile, with the wolf crushed on the bottom and Lyssa on top. Only a moment later the Alchemist summoned two razor sharp blades, sending them beneath Lyssa's arms and aiming for the thighs. Well the sudden frontal collision and the rough armor was enough to ward off Shikio's vicious attacks and soon threw them all to the ground. Falling to the ground and getting pummeled by the weight of two others was not especially comfortable and knocked some air out of her causing her to whine quite a bit. Yet she tore with her claws at any parts she could reach before realizing the mans attack on Lyssa. This made Shikio try to grapple and hold the enemy's arms and keep them away from Lyssa. [color=purple]"Freeze!"[/color] she called as she tried to hold him still for Lyssa to act while adding a bit if chill to the moment. Lyssa ignored the blades. In fact, she almost didn't even seem to ackdnowledge their presence. If they struck her, then fine. She was going to end this right now, even if she got hurt herself. She reached for the mans mask, ripping it off and tossing it aside, out of reach. Now that his face was exposed...well...99% of the elements in a human body was oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The rest was potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. [color=f6989d]"Soo...looks like you've lost~"[/color] She giggled, that unsettling grin never leaving her face.[color=f6989d] "So I'll give you just oooone. chance to surrender."[/color] She placed a hand on the side of his face. If he so happened to make a single move she didn't like...well, he could say goodbye to his insides. The knives landed, but before he could stab again his arms were frozen and his body was tied up from beneath. Metal mask knew when his game was up. "I yield! You win! Congradulations, you can stay here!" Iravis had curled up in a ball, face pale as she went into shock. She was holding her dismembered arm against the bleeding stump, tears landing on the wound. It healed with visible speed, the dismembered part reataching itself flawlessly as time bassed. Less than thirty seconds had passed since the wound had occured, and the skin was halfway reatached. [color=salmon]"Demon, your thighs ... Wounded ... My tears.. heal."[/color] The Phoenix's voice was punctuated by heavy breathing, and was obviously spoken through a great deal of pain. 40 seconds after the wound, the bone had started to reconnect. Muscles pulled themselves together again, reforming broken their broken bonds. For a few seconds, it almost looked like Lyssa was going to do whatever she was going to do anyways. It wasn't until Iravis spoke up, did she finally let go of the man, breathing heavily, though not from exertion. What? Injured? Was she hurt? She...couldn't feel anything but...she looked back, to where Iravis had mentioned, and sure enough she was. Ah...she should...probably get that looked at. She rolled off of the man, laying on her back on the floor, simply breathing and trying to recollect herself. Ugh, she felt terrible, and not from the wound, or the fact she was probably losing quite a bit of blood. For now, she would just lay here, and try not to think about what had almost just happened. She had almost...just killed someone...again. [color=salmon]"LYSSA! NOW!"[/color] The demon's wound was very, very deep. Whie it was small, Iravis wouldn't have been surprised if it had struck the bone. Lyssa turned her head and looked to Iravis. Was she...upset about something? Oh right, she was injured...probably quiet badly. But what exactly could Iravis do about it? She was pretty sure she wasn't any sort of healer, but...ugh. With a small grunt, Lyssa forced herself to her feet. She could walk well enough, since it wasn't really the injury bothering her, so she limped over to Iravis without a word. As the man yielded Shikio's grip remained firm long after, even if it was uncomfortable to have him on top of her the weight dropped considerably when Lyssa got off him. Yet Shikio hadn't failed to noticed her friends injury, the stench of blood hanging thickly in the air drove her mad with rage. She spun around without letting go slammed him to the ground as she came out on top. Iravis used her functional arm to grab Lyssa's thigh, forcing one of the demon's wounds beneath her face. A few tears fell, and the wound would quickly vanish and the pain was probably going away. [color=salmon]"Your other one."[/color] When the demon turned around, Iravis used her tears to heal that wound as well. Then it was but a move for the wolf to rip his neck protector clean off and settle her paws right around his neck tightly. She weren't going to just let go, this enemy had hurt her friends and he were dangerous. She bluntly thought that removing his head would make him much less of a threat to them. [color=purple]"You hurt my friends... You wounded my pack... There's no mercy for scum like you"[/color] she growled, a moment after she without hesitation went for the kill once more... [color=salmon]"Don't kill him!"[/color] If this man died, then they would lose a valuable source of information. But the Phoenix was in no condition to stop the fernir. Soon the wounds Lyssa had recieved had been taken care of. If she still wasn't in a state of shock, she might have questioned it just a little bit. Iravis' tears could heal? She'd probably find that a little sad, but for now she barely acknowledged it. She was thankful for it, though right now she should probably stop Shikio from killing this guy. She walked over to the wolf, grabbing her shoulder with a firm grip. [color=f6989d]"I'd prefer it if you didn't kill him, alrighty?~"[/color] It was definitely more of a command than a suggestion. Shikio heeded not as the Phoenix somewhat in the distant called for her to stop, because at that point she were already consumed in enough blood thirst for this enemy's neck that words were beyond stopping her. At the time when Lyssa's hand fell on Shikio's shoulder the floor was already turning red with this enemy's blood as she had gouged his neck open, ripping flesh from bone and given him a new entance to breathe through as he was both drowning in his own blood and experiencing the pain of his flesh getting ripped off. When Lyssa's words finally reached Shikio, the enemy had likely already stopped moving. And at that time she would gaze up at Lyssa with blood that was not her own floowing from her fangs and mouth. To this notion Shikio mearly licked her lips as she smirked to Lyssa [color=purple]"Hush little baby do not cry, all in this world will one day die~"[/color] she sang slightly as she pulled away from the corpse. [color=purple]"Well its a waste of a good meal, but I suppose I won't eat him... maybe"[/color] she said as she looked to her room mates, they seemed surprisingly fine now making her nod to them. [color=purple]" how are you feeling?... you still reek blood"[/color] she asked them in a rather firm tone compared to her playful pre-battle attitude. Lyssa had been hoping that Shikio wouldn't. She had already had enough fighting for tonight, and she wasn't feeling so well. She would have given Shikio all the cuddles she could have given the fluffy dog if she had. Instead, she had to watch a man get ripped apart right in front of her. She was looking a lot less cute and fluffy now. The demon would have tried to pry the other girl off of him, but she was too slow and by the time she even realized what had happened, it was too late. When Shikio was done, she could only do one thing. The demon summoned all of the physical strength she possessed...and slammed her fist right into Shikios face. [color=f6989d]"Are you [i]crazy[/i]?"[/color] she quietly spoke. [color=f6989d]"Y-you didn't have to...what did that even do?! He had surrendered!"[/color] she shook her head, dear gods there was so much blood. She almost felt like she was going to puke. Shikio didn't get much time to listen to any replies, only a moment to realize that Lyssa balled a fist in anger, before there was intense pain... stars and she soon found herself on the floor with a broken nose and her cute face bloodied by someone she had trusted's fist. She didn't give any reply, nor a whine... at most a gasp as she were knocked out from the hard blow straight to the face. The one straight punch hurting her more severely than the entirety of the battle... Some would believe that the racket produced by the fights would attract more than one teacher, or in this case, a nurse. Still, Rollanda walked into the room as if it were nobody's business and took the Eraser in her arms. [color=gray][b]"You really went wild here, didn't you?"[/b][/color] She simply said, and moved the man's hair out of the way to take a good look at his face. . [color=gray][b]"Yes, nothing I can't fix. The demon over there."[/b][/color] She turned to Lyssa. [color=gray][b]"Help me carry your roommate. It is your fault she is in that sorry state, after all. You are also pretty sensible to these kinds of things... I guess that's what happens when someone's new in the school. Don't worry, he's, well, dead, but he won't be for much longer."[/b][/color] She then turned on her heel and turned around, [color=gray][b]"And that's an order, so hurry up and bring the wolf girl over."[/b][/color] Iravis' arm was mostly reatached by this point, with some blood still spilling out of it. She remained curled up on the floor, blood pooling around her, skin deathly white She was barely concious by this point, so she didn't notice the confrontation between her roomates or the staff as they entered the room. [hr] Okay, maybe punching Shikio was just a bit much. Lyssa hadn't meant to knock her out. Ugh, this night just kept getting worse. She wasn't sure she was going to be staying in the room the rest of the night after this. She wasn't sure she could. [color=f6989d]"H-huh?"[/color] She sounded a bit startled when she replied to Rollanda. The demon hadn't even heard her come in, but what she said seemed to improve her mood quite a bit. [color=f6989d]"Y-you can heal him? But..."[/color] He looked pretty dead to her. Could this woman fix dead people? Still, she wasn't going to argue. If she said she could, she'd let her do whatever she was going to. Lyssa walked over to where Shikio was laying, though still moving a bit slowly. She lifted Shikio as best she could, and brought her over to Rollanda. Rushing into the room with quite the concerned frown on her face, Hanako rushed to Iravis' side. "Hrm, how inconsiderate of Mistress Rollanda. To just leave you here..." She put a single hand on Iravis' forehead. "Poor thing. But don't worry, I'm here for you! Kubinashi!" With a puff, Hanako's familiar appeared again and between the two of them they carried Iravis over to the infirmary. "Wait for us, Mistress! She needs treatment too!" [color=gray][b]"You can handle that."[/b][/color] "Eh? C'mon! She looks really pale!" [color=gray][b]"I believe your treatment would be better this time than mine. So handle it."[/b][/color]
