Live by the sword ((For Arc))

[PsychoHC]

Ray is a master of the sword so much so that most practice bored her and as a result she had come up with a new style unusead by anyone ever before called "Kenta-No-Sentou". Many people have taken an intrest in her awsome new style but she refused to show anyone. The practice is very difficult to master and only someone with truth strengh can be sucessful. But most people are weak...they give into their wants and desires. Ray was always strong and have great will power.

Ray is tall about 5"8 with long black hair, most people say she has a handsome face. But that could be because she is practically emotionless. The sword master generally hates other people and lives up on the mountains a distance away from the town and its people. Some how her house was found by a young neko boy interested in learning her sword fighting style. Of course this did not go over well right away.

Looking up to the house he stood weakly, even his stance was more of a joke, than worthy of a fighter. His clothing was simple, cloth pants leaving his feet exposed, his claws though short looked more threatening than he was. Clenching his toes repeatedly his nails scratching on the ground some as he did so. Wearing a simple white shirt, and a black vest that matched his pants. Holding two weapons one, clearly made of wood hand carved. He had made it himself when he was cast out of the house. As well tightly hugged to his chest a metal one, crafted by a master blacksmith, his grandfather. He was a weakly looking person, the only thing he was good at was running and avoiding things. His black hair was cut short, so when he matted down his ears they were unnoticible. His green eyes scared as he stared at the building before him, his tail wrapped tightly around his waist, something he did to hide it more than anything.

Looking nervously around the outside, having heard of the style, and knew it was his only hope of returning home, his 'grandfather' had passed and the family not wanting to put up with him, as he was so useless he was cast from the home. Having remembered his grandfather speak off how he could be such a great fighter, despite his lack of skill, or focus, he had an unwavering will. He really would do whatever it took to get what he wanted. He stepped forward slowly to see if the person who owned it would greet him, not knowing what to do. He had never been in the outside world like this, unfamiliar with everything that was going on, just knowing he needed somewhere to live, until he could go home, though he did not quite understand he was unwanted, and would never be allowed to return.

The sword master walked into her vertically empty house. Ray lived alone and didn't really have much she lived off of instant ramien noodles and rice since she never had a time to learn how to cook and neither did she care. Ray stood at the back of her house resting from the practicing she did earlier. Sensing someone near by Her eyes were closed and had opened to cold blue eyes that fit well with her emotionless face. "Damn it..." Ray muttered and sighed. Walking towards the neko sat she quickly pulled out her sword and pointed it at the nekos throat. "Who the hell are you, and what do you want?" the words were sharp and cold. Her black bangs fell slightly over her eye. Ray truly appeared to be a warrior or some kind of ruthless killer. It was obvious she didn't like other people. "Hmpt" Pulled back her sword she placed it back in it's shieth seeing that it was what just looked like a younger weaker male. Folding her arms and gazing down at the neko with heartless eyes she waited for his response.

When he saw the sword he tried to react moving back, though in his haste he tripped over himself moving in a way to save himself from hitting the ground his tail moved out, his ears perking up as he backed up seeming to cower, his voice weakly speaking. "I need to learn to fight...". He looked to her, though his gaze though showed he tried betrayed his weakness as his gaze fell to her feet. His arms were trembling as he tightened his grip on the sword.

"I will do whatever it takes... But I need to learn to fight... To be useful...". His voice was meager at best scared, and he could not help but stutter over his words. He took all his strength to stand up before her his tail lowered, and his ears flattened. Slowly working his gaze up to see what she looked like to see if she would take him in, though when he met that gaze he backed down stuttering again. "Please no one else will take me, your my only chance..."

 

[PsychoHC]

The sword master gazed at the neko with emotionless eye. "Hmpt...why should I help you" though no one had really ever offered to do 'anything' before. Ray gazed at the neko and sighed slightly annoyed "whatever" meaning yes. "But you are going to do everything I tell you to do, got that?" Ray's tone was cold as she turned her back to him. "And don't try and hide your ears and tail...I know what you are" the sword master demanded before stepping into her house expecting him to follow. " Im busy all the time...and I need someone that can cook and clean for me." Ray turned slightly looking down at the neko. "Those duties will now belong to you" Ray stopped walking and gazed down at him completely with emotionless eyes. "Refer to me as master from now on" looking over the neko now seeing his ears and tail revealed she gripped his chin forcing him to look up at her. "hmpt..." Ray said nothing. But she had thought that he wasn't so bad looks wise. An old legend is told in town that the only person Ray ever had up in her house was a neko... a long, long time ago.

 

[ArclightX]

His eyes lit up, though he was still unsure on following her, "grandpa was right..." he followed her listening to her, his voice a little stronger, Yes! Master...". His grandfather being a swordsmith he was used to referring to men and women as Master so it did not matter to him. However he agreed to what she said he was forgetful, and had the attention span of a sparrow. This was evident by how he followed her his attention on everythhing they passed.

Then when she put his hand on his chin he showed his teeth as if threatening her, but hid them quickly, clearly a reaction he had to being touched. Though when she looked at him like that his ears flatted again, showing his fear of her. He knew she was stronger, and more skilled, while all he had, or so he thought was speed. He was quicker than most, but because he was moving by instinct, his movements were obvious to anyone who had been around others of his kind.

The sword master looked blankly as the neko showed his teeth completely unfazed. It was clear that it would take a lot more then just some untrained neko to intimidate her. "Get use to the place and take a look around" A moment later Ray headed for the back door. "I have to finish my training for the day. Im not teaching you anything until I know your a good servant" Ray almost walked through the door when she stop. "Just make me some dinner and I'll see if your food is good enough to keep you around" most of the sentences she said were short and didn't leave time for him to answer. It was like she was raised in the military and was just use to being demanding and emotionless. Ray closed the door behind her and pulled out her perfect blade that shined in the sunset. The bulting with the speed of light she ran forward into the forst ahead of her cutting every tree that stood in her way with out stopping, like a full force machine. I took enormous strength to accomplish this so quickly and with out breaks for a bout a mile up the mountain.

When she was gone, he began to run around the house examing every room. His eyes wide with each room, until he entered the kitchen. He swallowed not knowing a thing about cooking anything but his favorite food. He looked around the kitchen not seeing much sighed, knowing he could not even pretend to have tried something to hard for him. So he swallowed hard and began too cook, his eyes darting around not knowing how much time he had.

Though he finished making food, after three tries the first try was on the floor his hands and feet burned, his second try was too hard to be edible, though he was sure the third try was good, he was good with the spices cooking small bits of meat with it, though instead of tasting it as he planned he ate a fourth of it, and the rest he put on the table, before he started to try and clean the floor, which was evident he had little clue on what he was doing.

 

[PsychoHC]

Practicing for a little over an hour Ray stood gazing at all the trees she had cut down forming a long path and began following it back. By the time she had returned it was night and she had swet dripping from her. Entering the house she saw the evidence of his attempts at cooking and she growled slightly. "Damn it..." there was a bit of a mess but she had the noticed the food that he had left her. Saying nothing Ray sat done and quickly ate it. "I guess...it's not that bad" that was like best complement someone could receive from Ray. Then she quickly stood up and began derobeing herself in front of him but only her top wich was half cover in binds revealing only the top of her chest. "Im going to take a bath. Clean up...this..." out of frustrating and pure exhaustion Ray headed towards the bathroom not finishing her sentence. "Hey bring me a towel out of the drier in 20 minutes" Ray called out at the neko before slipping into the bathroom and fully undressing. She had scars running down her back like she'd been beaten a long time ago. Ray slipped into the hot water and grit her teeth for a moment. "Damn..." she growled as the water touched her scars. Clearly she was frustrated and wasn't quiet sure if she was going to take it out on that neko or not.

 

[ArclightX]

He swallowed as he saw her come in, though was happy about her compliment, taking it as much, seeing as previously he had gotten some bad commits, when she undid her top he turned his back and bowered his head. "Yes master, I will..." he finished in the kitchen before he sighed, tired this was more than he was used too, much less what she did. He swallowed as he finished and then the table, his skills left more than a little to be desired.

He pulled the towel out, making sure it was warm, moving into the bathroom knocking, then entered as he moved over too her side without looking to her, presenting the towel for her seeing the scars he looked ready to say something, though closed his mouth so he would not say what he was going too. "If that will be all, I will take my leave master." he had clearly been around women, but did not seem to know how to completely behave outside avoid and do as he was told. He however was waiting for her to dismiss him.

 

[PsychoHC]

Ray looked over at the neko who was looking away from her and suddenly stood up. A moment later she apeared in front of him and backed him up against the bathroom wall. soon after she pressed her hand against the wall above his head gazing down at him with cold eyes, "look at me" she ordered waiting for his eyes to meet hers. "Err..why is it so damn hard for you to look at me" she growled and moved closer to his face and the suddenly gripping his wrist and pinning it against the wall above his head so he couldn't get away. It was easy to hold him back even when he tried to struggle. "Quiet struggling. Isn't this what you wanted? to do anything to be trained by me" she said in a sharp tone getting closer and closer. Then grabbing his other arm and pinning it above his head she restrained him tightly and then suddenly a glimpse of a memory past through her head causing her to lose control of herself. A moment later her eyes narrowed like she was in a daze and she pressed her lips roughly into his knowing that if he wanted to be tought her style he'd have to comply. Ray kissed him for a few moments aggressively while keeping him still pinned. Before long she broke the forceful kiss and stepped away not even looking at him. "You better get use to...being mine now" she stated grabbing the towel and heading into her room to get changed.

 

[ArclightX]

When she grabbed him his body locked up, which wasn't natural for neko's like him, his voice weak as he spoke very slowly, "I wish to keep my tail...". He spoke sheepishly trying what could to hide his tail from her, though when he felt her lips against him, it took him a moment before he returned it but only lightly as if unsure, and very unskilled. "I guess humans will never understand...". His eyes shone up as he knew he messed up when he spoke.

Though only a moment after he winced before biting his lip letting the blood trickle down his lip before he moved to his knees, "I am sorry Master... i shouldn't speak like that...". He swallowed, it looked as though he had been trained before, but his body had no marks on it. He was blessed and cursed with the ability to heal very quickly, and did not scar. So most assumed he was blessed in being raised but, a good eye would notice his actions small and subtle, but he was ready to snap at any moment, all it would take is the wrong commit.
