The Passage Way

[Kiamii (Yuri)]

Yuri lazed about in the passage way. It was a circular room. Very nice and relaxing if you asked her. Yuri begun to daydream, wondering if she should be out and about attending dinner right now. Yuri sighed, she hadn't felt like eating lately, not that she'd tell anyone that she hadn't eaten. A shrug later, Yuri was mindlessly drawing on a sketchpad she carried.

Akil watched the border collie with interest as she releaxed. Her presence was enough to make him relax as well, despite his instincts to keep himself shut off from the rest of the world. His eyes challenged himself to find one thing wrong with Yuri, but his mind could not. His muscles ached to remove himself from his perch, and landing without a sound. He quietly stalked over to her and leaned over her shoulder to see what she was drawing. His eyes scanned the page, his hands twitch to wrap themselves around her and pull her close to his body, his breath ghosted over her neck, and he was sure she could feel it. "Hey there, Princess." He whispered with a husk into her ear. His heart was beating erratically as she was so close, he longed for her.

((This is temporarily made post -____- ))

Yuri continued to draw, her mind almost shut off as per usual when she was feeling stranger than the norm. It happened a lot to her these days, since Akil had decided to become close to her. Yuri failed to notice her usually bizarre eyes of one blue and one green, was now both a dark and strange emerald green color. She failed to respond to the breath itching her neck... Though she did notice the words "Hey there, Princess." come from the voice of the man she loved. She heard him and looked up in to his eyes, still not noticing her color change. It only happened because of an incident when her father was killed, but it was a secret she had kept since then and told no one....

"Hey Akil." Yuri said to the older representative, smiling with an angelic feel to it.

Her eyes. They captured him like a marauder captures and rapes innocent women. Her eyes. They were his moon, his sun... his world. When she smiled, his breath was knocked from his lungs and he struggled to breath. Once regaining function of his body, he smiled right back at her, his body struggling to not just jump her bones right then and there. He closed his eyes and steadied his breathing, he knew it. He was addicted to her like a druggie needed a dealer. She was his drug, a very addictive and dangerous drug. "So what are you sketching?" He asked with struggled breath. Her scent, it assaulted his senses and he knew that one thing more, he would fall over the edge into a pit so big that even time could not touch the bottom.

[Yuri]

Yuri raised an eyebrow at Akil before she laughed at Akil's calm and collected look. She shrugged, "I have no idea really. Just random collections of runes I've seen..." Yuri said, with a frown at her drawing. It was a fire with a phoenix's ashes on the floor, but she wouldn't let Akil know about the visions she had been having. She was oblivious to Akil's internal struggles. Yuri felt her right eye ache slightly and she held her breath, she knew that feeling. Her eyes were both green and that was not good. It would reveal the secrets of her past that tried to hide... Yuri closed her eyes, to fake her calmness and hope in vain that Akil did not notice her eye switches or ever find her secret.

Akil smiled gently. He was about to reply with a 'That's a nice drawing'

[/i] when he suddenly recalled something. Yuri had odd colored eyes, not two same colored eyes. His head snapped to face her, and indeed, her blue eye had turned green. He walked around to face her and squated down to be at eye level with the border collie. He reached his hands up and placed them on her cheeks, gently moving her head to face his. He used his hand to sweep the hair out of her eye before placing it back. And indeed, her eye had changed color. "Princess..." He hesitated. Maybe he'd been wrong all along with her eye color. Maybe it had always been a trick of the light. No, he had admired her eyes enough to know, they were not both green. "Yuri, your eye. Is it..."[/color] He trailed off, hoping she'd get what he was saying. Did it hurt? Why did it change color? Did he cause it? If not, what did?[/color][/blockquote]

[Yuri]

Yuri stiffened when Akil held her in his hands... Her horror was realized when he asked her in his soft tone about her eye colors. Yuri bit her bottom lip. She didn't know what to say now... What would she tell him?

"My eyes were always two different colors..." Yuri murmured. Yuri stared at Akil's eyes, biting her lower lip. Yuri closed her eyes and unclosed them.

"Yeah... they're not supposed to be both green..." Yuri said, looking away, up towards the ceiling as if hoping it would eat her up. The pain of her blind eye was still there, causing her to wince again. She hoped Akil never figured it out... What would she do then if he found out how much a freak she was, even as a Koutai.

[Demon Kit]

He watched her carefully, keeping his eyes trained on her face. The way she worried her lip, worried him. Akil was a mess inside, her hesitant voice told him that he had crossed some boundary, some boundary that they could never cross back over. Her wary glance up to the ceiling had him narrowing his eyes. Something was wrong. His hands slid down her cheeks, down her neck, over he shoulders, and to her arms where he pulled her closer to him, so close he could feel her heart beating from the almost non-existant distance between them. "Yuri, tell me." He spoke with a growl, rumbling from within his chest and coming up through his throat. His grip tightened, and he hoped dearly that she would tell him if it was hurting her. His eyes, he was sure, were blazing with a rush of emotion, and conflict of judgement. It was over her, he was sure.

[Yuri]

Yuri winced when Akil pulled her closer, but she stopped and felt completely safe when Akil looked her in the eyes. Her cursed eyes. Yuri frowned. Should she tell him? Yuri took a breath.

"Back when my parents and brother took off away from me, I was alone for a few years before a man found me and was... is.. the headmaster of this school. During the years I was left alone, I came across a phoenix, who bonded to me... At first, I felt friendship, but soon I-I discovered my fire manipulation ability.." Yuri bit her lip, struggling to continue, "It was there the fire became a backlash upon practicing for control and it burned my entire right side..." Yuri lifted up her pant leg to reveal a long jagged scar she never had shown a soul. "Unfortunately, in order to look at least normal, a woman... a demon of some sort, placed a curse on me... It-t made my right ey-ye b-blind..." Yuri whispered the last part. She looked up at the sea foam eyes of Akil's before she looked away and closed her eyes. Upon opening them, they returned to their normal green and blue eye look.

"My real eye color is blue, like my left, but because of the curse. At times of pain.. M-My eyes turn both green. Somethings in the forest, and its causing my blind eye unbelievable pain." Yuri whispered, burying her face in to Akil's shirt and letting small droplets of water fall from her eyes. She hoped Akil wouldn't think her to be strange...

[Demon Kit]

The explanation had him struck for words. He was trusted with this knowledge, and he would certainly protect it, like he would protect her. The contact from her was welcomed by his body and a shiver rippled through his body. He could feel her tears against his skin and resisted the urge to snarl, to seek and destroy what was causing her pain, damn his instincts. "It's not so bad." He repleied, smiling truthfully at her. His heart was racing at the closeness of her body, she was so frail beneath his fingers, and he could feel that she, too, belonged to him, as he belonged to her. But that was something to leave for when she wasn't in mental distress. Releasing the grip on her arms, he wrapped his arms gently around her waist. "It's really not so bad, you're still my Princess."

[Kiamii (Yuri)]

((Alright, I'm back now... >.>))

Yuri felt calm when his arms went around her waist and she slowed her cries, before looking up at him. Hearing those words, Yuri couldn't help but smile softly. She was glad she could trust him. It made Yuri's heart speed up when she reminded herself of that.

"Thank you Akil..." Yuri whispered, resting, once more, on his chest and closing her eyes, her arms around his neck. She had to mentally admit, he was freakishly tall when compared to her... Which meant to say she was definitaly short...

"I hate being short..." murmured Yuri, her eyes twinkling in a shine of happiness with in the minutes of her own comments.

[Demon Kit]

He was glad she was relaxing, glad she wasn't going to blow-up like an atomic bomb. He pulled her closer to himself and slowly took in her scent, he could never get enough of it. He sat there, listening to her, relishing in the closeness of her. And her comment made him chuckle. He lowered his head, placing his nose in her hair. "I like your height. Very... short." He complimented... in his own way. He stood up, picking her up in the process, bridal style, and smiled at her. "Where to?" He asked, willing to take her anywhere. She at least deserved a break from something after her mental breakdown, so why not walking?

[Kiamii (Yuri)]

Yuri did not protest to being lifted up as if she were delicate, or bridal style. She simply looped her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest, taking in Akil's heavenly made scent.

"Anywhere is fine with me." Yuri breathed, smiling. She loved Akil, and maybe she'll admit it to him someday...
