Her ears twitched in different angles to listen for anyone who may be wandering nearby. Though her attention was on him when he gave her the old saying. "Yes, I know it. I turn into an animal when I fight and..." Her ears went down as she realized what else she was going to say but looked down. "Forget the second part I was going to say. Asyron, if you don't want ot travel with me then its your choice."
 
"N-No, that is not what I am saying! I love b-" He spoke in a slightly panicked manner as his head shot up to look at her and started waving his hands in front of him. However he cut himself off as he realized he was about to say to much and covered his mouth with one hand. Gulpping nervously, he slowly removed his hand from his mouth and started running his fingers through his hair, a deep blush on his cheeks "Umm...w-what I mean to s-say is that I really do enjoy traveling with you...b-besides...tradition forbides me t-to leave on my own accord.
 
She looked at him seeing he cut himself off. Shaking her head as she got to her feet but her eyes were still on him. "I'm confused by this. You say you don't want to go with me because of your darker side but yet you want to go with me. I'm not here to play games, Asyron. Once we get to your village I think its best you stay there."

Her heart ached when she said that. When she took a step away from him a tear rolled odwn her cheek then she turned away from him to get her horse. At that moment she felt so stupid for allowing a man to get close to her in this short of time.
 
Eyes watching her in complete disbelief, he just stared at her as she backed away from him and then turned around, walking to the horse and climbed onto it. A deep, sorrow filled frown appeared on his face as he himself turned around and stared to the ground "So...you were only playing games with me before then. You do not actually care." Slowly, as he spoke, a dark reddened smoke began to form and gather around him, his form slowly beginning to disappear "Then...I shall leave you if you do not wish to have me here. I shall not bother you with my pressense any longer. You...won't...hear from me."
 
Her eyes went wide as she looked at him ignoring the red smoke. Growling as he was turning everything around to make her the bad guy. Instead of walking over she dug her claws into her hands drawing blood.

"No! I do care about you! You were the one sending me in circles, Asyron. What do you want of me?!!" She yelled over at him as her eyes were burning from her eyes watering. Shaking her head as she looked down. "You say you want to come with me. A day later you tell me you don't want to travel because of your dark side. WHICH IS IT?!" She screamed over at him as she was in heart ache.
 
His eyes still on the ground and back still turned to her, it was clear though he had grown just upset and distraught as her. The smoke continued to grow around him, becoming close to where he was almost fully engulfed "I want to travel with you...but...I worry of what could possibly happen to you if I did. If there is anything I would want to know...it is if you truely would want me to come with you dispite my inner darkness...but...I know already you wouldn't."
 
Jumping from her horse she walked closer to him but felt her mare grabbing her tail making her yell in pain. Growling softly at the mare but looked at Asyron. "I DO want you to come with me. I don't know aht evil you hold since you won't tell me or anything else!" She snapped at him as her tail was hurting from her horse holding her from approaching Asyron.
 
After she spoke the smoke slowly began to finally disapate, his form still the same, and clear from around him. He still kept his back to her but from behind she could see tears falling from him and down onto the ground "...Basiclly...what I hold inside me could described as a demon. Since the day I could first remember...I always felt something inside me that I feared...but not for my safety...for the safety of anyone around me. Most of my childhood everything was normal...but...when I was of the age of sixteen...it finally took over me. I was still able to see what it was doing...but...I had no control."

Body looking as it was becoming limp, his head hanged as his hands shook. "It...k-killed everyone in the village I live in...strangers, m-my friends...m-my family. It spared no one and when I regained control, there was no one left...and I was in the middle of town, surrounded by bodies. The next ones to find me were a band of wizards and witches, one of them who turn out to be my teacher and...new father. When they found me, they asked what had happened and, thinking I would not live much long after what had happened, told them exactly. For the first few moment they stared at me with a mixture of shock and sorrow...however, to my surprise, they discussed amongst themselves and then offered to train me in the arts of magic and to help control this 'demon' inside of me. So while I was there, they put an enchantment on me that would not allow the insident to happen again. Once I graduated and left...I continued putting the enchantment on myself but it was not a permanent salution to the problem. That is why I wandered for so long...why I worry for your safety. That...thing...is still inside of me."
 
Aiko smacked the mare's nose making her whine in pain as Aiko rushed over to him. She didn't make him turn to face her but she came up behind him an dwrapped her arms around his waist. Her face buried within his back. "I don't care about the demon. I want to know who you are Asyron..." She nuzzled his back gently as her arms tighten around him then slacked abit. "If we stay together we can find a way to control the demon completely."
 
"What about you though, Aiko...? If it should gain control again it could...v-very well...kill you. If you were to die...I...I couldn't go through it." His voice became shakey and the tears started flowing more freely down his cheek. Slowly he began to turn around in her grasp and once more, wrapped his arms around her and his hands resting on her back and head resting on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck.
 
Aiko was shocked he turned to face her but he buried his face into her neck. Closing her eyes as she held on to him. "I fought off that old hag of a demon who had control over you...I think I can handle your demon." She said in a lighter tone as if to ease the tension. Slowly she nuzzled the exposed part of his neck. "We can't be standing here in the open like this. Also my tail hurts from the horse biting it."
 
Blushing lightly, he slowly gave her a small nod and released her from the hug. He looked off to the side for moment, ruffling his own hair before looking back to her. He looked as if he was trying to determind to weather do something or not before he finally walked over to the mare and stood there, waiting for Aiko to jump on first.
 
She looked at him when he pulled his head back. Curious as she watched him stand there as if trying to decide something. When he walked away she stood there in silence wondering what was wrong. Sighing as she looked to the village where he was protecting it then back at him to see he stood by her horse. Looking down as she walked over to where he was and jumped up into the saddle.

Her tail throbbed from the bite but she looked over at him. "So straight to the village so you can gather your things then we head to the market place?" She intended to get him a horse of his own since her mare was struggling to carry both of them at the moment. Though the mare didn't show it but Aiko could feel the mare's muscles trembling under their weight.
 
Offering a small, shy, warm smile he gave her a nod in response and gently hopped up onto the horse "Sounds like a plan. Umm...also...sorry about how I acted..." A light blush still on his cheeks, he gently wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder, nuzzling back into her neck and letting out a small sigh as he, without actually thinking, placed a kissed on her neck.
 
She turned the mare around as they rode off through the water of the stream. There on the other side she felt him place a kiss on her neck. Her ears perked up with her eyes growing wide and the fur on her tail fluffed up. She never had anyone kiss her on her neck. Her teacher kissed her forehead when she had nightmares only to calm her down.

Her body trembled within his grasp. For the years of fighting and training to kill monsters or creatures who wreck chaos over the lands didn't phase her. What phased her was getting romantically close to a man that made her clumsy and nervous.
 
As he felt her begin to tremble in his arms and her tail fluff up a small frown appeared. His hands slowly moved away from around her waist, resting on his lap now and his head move away from her, no longer leaning on her "Sorry...I didn't think b-being close to you would make you uncomfortable. I...w-won't do it again."
 
Aiko reached back and hand her hand over her tail to settled the fur. "Asyron stop this. You're actting weak and I know you're not." The whole weakly thing was getting on her nervous. She knew if she snapped at him he'd turn it around on her to make her feel guilty. Sighing as she looked pover at him. "That kiss....surprised me. I never been kissed like that."
 
Thr only response that was given to her was a small nod from Asyron before he reached into the pack beside him, pulling out the previous book. He flipped through a few of the pages that had already been read until he finally reached the desired page and began. For the rest of the ride he had desided to himself that it may just be wise to remain silent until they reached the village or she wished to speak to him once more.
 
Aiko rode in silence as she didn't notice the small nod he gave her. Looking ahead of them as the mare trotted towards the village. Though Aiko lifted her nose in the air as if sensed something. Thinking it was nothing as she came within the limits of the village. Shortly some of the kids started yelling she'd returned with Asyron. The men were happy as the elder came forward with teh reward but Aiko refused.
 
As they arrived at the village Asyron set down his book. He looked down to the children gathering around them and gave them a warm smiled as he reached down and patted their heads and shook the hands of the adults that had came to greet them. With how exacted everyone was behaving with his return it is clear that the people here cared for him more then Asyron would let on. He discussed amongst the village adults and elders when they asked about what had happened but he left out some more private things.
 
Aiko walked away giving Asyron time to talk to the villagers but one elder offered her a free night in the inn to get cleaned up and refill her supplies.

Smiling as she bowed to him before he walked away. Aiko looked back over her shoulder seeing he was in the middle of nearly the whole village. Hiding the soft weak giggle as she lead her mare to the inn where she let her mare go to run within the pasture they had. Though she sat on the railing of the pasture, watching Asyron bein ghugged by the younger group of children.
 
After the children and adults began to finally disperse from around Asyron he continued to smiled as he watched them before finally walking over to Aiko, his smile slowly become one of nervousness and a light blush on his cheeks as he reached behind his head and rubbed it "Umm...s-so do you want me to go ahead and start packing...or w-would you like to stay here for a bit?"
 
She looked down at him as she cupped his cheek. "Why don't we stay another day? I mean I need to get more supplies and get a decent bath." She showed him the spots where her fur was stained. "I can still smell a faint smell of blood on me and the demoness on you."
 
As she cupped his cheeks she could feel the warmth radiating from it. Letting out a small sigh, he unkowningly began to lean into her hand nuzzle against it. When he realized what he was doing through the blush deepened and me stop but allowed her to still keep her hand on him "Umm, r-right...okay, sounds l-like a plan to me. If you want you can stay at my home, it has an extra bed and I do not mind h-having you stay."
 
She tilted her head as she noticed his speech sounded off. Smiling sweetly as she leaned her head in where her forehead touched his own. "Asyron, please don't be nervous around me....Please." She looked into his eyes and heard him offering her a place to stay. "I'd like that."
