Mutatsu Wanders

[pikarikku]

Mutatsu was sitting against one of the walls, watching people go by and enjoying their everyday lives. He sighed and dug his hand into his pockets, scraping up a few beast fangs. "...should be enough for another meal.." He said softly to himself before pushing himself up. He made sure the straps of both of his swords were tight before moving. A pale blue flame stayed in place.
"Come on, Myon." With that, the flame darted over to him and followed.

His swords weren't dangerous at all. Sure, they can kill people, but they are no match to photon. Before long, Mutatsu returned to his usual spot, against the wall, with a loaf of bread... watching people go by..

[Li`l Pixie]

His belly now full of melon, and his pouch now full of beast fangs, Xaphy flapped along, just over the heads of the people in the square. He was a little confused as to whee he was supposed to be going, so he had decided to head toward the gate in hopes he could relieve a tired soldier from his post.

Something caught his attention off to the side. He glanced over and spotted a man he had never seen before holding some sort of flame in his hand while chewing on a loaf of bread. He watchs as he flew, turning the corner toward the gate when suddenly, he found himself on his back staring up at a very large man.

"Oh!" Xaphy squealed, utterly terrified. "I'm sorry! Please forgive -"

"You, runt! Last thing we need is another rabid beast in here!" The man pulled his foot back and Xaphy's heart skipped a beat. He flew about 20 feet back, crashing into a pile of storage barrels. "Heh, that'll teach ya, you vermin."

With that the man dissappear, leaving Xaphy half unconscious and half burried under the upset barrels.

[pikarikku]

Mutatsu heard yelling and turned his head towards that direction. Before he could see what was going on, he saw a blur flying through the air and collided with barrels. He got up once more and walked over to that area.
"...excuse me... are you okay..?" He asked quietly, quickly swallowing the bread in his mouth.

[shadow=snow,right,10]"YOU RUNT-"[/shadow]

"Oh?" Zhou could here the words of an angry man coming from around the corner. the booming yell was followed by a loud crash. He flinched, and hurried his pace to see what happened. He found where the crash came from, but not what caused it...

"Wuuuuht?" The man walked closer to investigate... He was hesitant to pry through the scraps of junk, and used the butt of his rod to move the debris around... A familiar face began to peak through hunks of wood. In a rare moment of compassion, Zhou threw his arms into the pile, and cradled His friend in them. With a disgusted look at the man who stood beside them, Zhou snapped, "DID YOU DO THIS?! HUH?!" the angelic glow of His Y-blade shone angrily in the strangers face.

[Li`l Pixie]

(lolz the man left I think >>)

Xaphy blinked and looked up at the angry face that wasn't focused on him for once. He felt hot tears of embarrassment, pain, and anger flowing from his large eyes. He was too small to fight back; why did they have to push him around? He never meant any harm!

Another man was rushing toward him - the one with the blue flame thing. He was speaking, but he wasn't sure what he was saying. He had an odd accent from somewhere he had never heard of.

[[[ zhou ]]]

[[ Was talking about Mutatsu, not the meany guy ]]

Zhou took his attention away from the boy, and focused on His friend. He examined him thuroughly for cuts, and scrapes, and bruises... He'd survive, but Zhou was livid.

"I thought Raien was with you, Where's raien?!"

He began to worry... Things were out of order; Not the way they should be, and this mundane imperfection drove zhou mad. Some would call it over exaggeration, maybe OCD, even insanity... but His friend was hurt, and his lover was missing... A little crazy never hurt anyo"WHERE DO YOU GET OFF BEATING UP A DEFENSELESS LITTLE DRAGON? HE LIVES A LIFE OF RECLUSE AND SCORN, BECUASE THIS DAMNED CRESCENT DOESNT ACCEPT THINGS THAT ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT... Do YOU Know what its like to be the object of EVERYOENS Prejudice?! HUH?"

The white irridescence of his Y-blade slowly disappeared as an amber essence swirled in the crystalmounted on the end. An Orange spear head materialized, and rested only inches from the Man with the Wisp's face.

"APPOLOGIZE. NOW"

[pikarikku]

Mutatsu winced and bowed his head, as he did many times for his mistress when he was dead. "I'm sorry.. Please accept my humble apology." He then closed his eyes and waited for forgiveness, or death, whichever came first. With the way he lived, he had learned to just go with whatever was accused with him, and it was better not to argue back.

[[[ zhou ]]]

"What are you sorry for?!"

Zhou refused to accept 'im sorry' it wasnt enough... especially not for little Xaphy.

The thought that This man wasnt involved was unacceptable; not only was he the only one around, but Xaph hadn't yet protested.

"Go on with it! You're lucky I dont cut you down right here!... I wont, becuase I amLenient, and Mercifull... People like YOU," He said with inapropriate disgust; grouping together all people, the people that believe beasts and dragons are below them... Zhou, hmself believed he was superior to the beasts, but He insists on remaining friends with Raien and Xaph.Issues~

"People like you need to learn your place in this world... And As cliche as it sounds, PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!"

[pikarikku]

Mutatsu flinched with almost every word from Zhou. "I-I'm sorry... for.." He stopped, trying to remember what had happened to the little dragon. He remembered that he couldn't see what exactly happened, all he saw was Xaphy fly through the air and crash into the barrels. This calls for more creative solutions.

"I'm sorry for... um.. throwing your friend to the.. uh.. barrels." He then swallowed. "Th-thank you, sir... for.. showing mercy to me... I do not deserve it..." He continued on. All of this has a nostalgic feeling for him, except this man is genuinely angry, as opposed to his mistress who would just give him a hard time for fun.

[Li`l Pixie]

Xaphy squeaked in both anger and surprise at his friend's reaction.

"Zhouy (lolzzzz) Please! He didn't do anything! Don't kill him!" He hadn't moved from the man's arms, but tears still filled his eyes now more out of fear than pain. He had never seen Zhou so angry before. He was scared half to death himself. "This guy was just watching! He had nothing to do with it!" he cried.

[[[ zhou ]]]

The Rod lowered.

"... Oh..."

With a bereft glance to the side, Zhou quitely appologized, "Sometimes I just assume Suspicious looking men are responsible when tiny dragons are thrown into stuff... I suppose i was wrwwrro-ngh >.<"

He was about to cross his arms in frstration, but remembered the quivering lump in his grasp... If he follwed through, he would have punched Xaphy

"But you Didnt stop it..."

[pikarikku]

Mutatsu looked at the little dragon. This was the first time somebody stepped in for him. He then looked back at the man in front of him. "I apologize.." He avoided eye contact. It was disrespectful to make eye contact. "...I was... eating, and all I heard was yelling.. Then I saw this dragon hit the barrels... Please accept my apology for my inability to act." he bowed again.

[Li`l Pixie]

Xaphy smiled. "I'm all right, Jojo. I promise. I'm used to this sort of thing."

He began to sit up painfully in the man's arms, gritting his teeth.

"I'm ok, see?" He grinned, trying to hide the dull throb. He looked over to the other man and tilted his head. "I'm Xaphy! What's your name, mister?"

[pikarikku]

"....Mutatsu.. Takeda.... are you sure you are okay? Do you need any medical attention? Food, perhaps?" Mutatsu once again avoided eye contact. His servant instincts and attitude was kicking in.

[Li`l Pixie]

Xaphy frowned.

"Why are you looking at your feet, Mr. Muti?" Xaphy left Zhou's arms and fluttered over, a little less painfully, to stand on the ground in front of the man. He looked up and smiled, meeting the man's eyes this time. "Hiiiii~" he waved.

(LOLZ WE STOPPED BOLDING SPEACH)
