Chapter 40

  The slight cheer that Ele had mao recover drained away every step towards the camp. Yeni had shouted that they were grounded as she left, and weren’t to leave the camp until told otherwise. It was a fair punishment, and so she accepted it. Besides, it was o be grounded by her mother, Drax had never done such a thing - partially because he was hardly ever around, partially because they were so alike he approved of her as and activities - and so this, was o her. She had a lot of work to do that would be from being grounded, anyway.

  Half way bap, Ele pulled off from Kiko and leaned against a tree, looking at her for a few moments and then dropping her head as if p something. Kiko would give her the time to think, which turned out to be a mixed blessing as Ele would step forward and pull Kiko into a passionate kiss. Far more than any pyful thing, this was incredible, and made Kiko weak at the knees.

  “I’m leaving. You don’t o taint yourself, associating with a beast like me” Ele would whisper after breathing off the kiss, turning to head away from the camp and into the Forest.

  Stunned by the excmation, and filled with a fury that Ele would just abandon her so easily, Kiko would turn.“Ele” she called out, waiting for the Kitsune woman to turn around before knog her into a wild stumble with a sp to the fabsp;

  “What the hell?!” came the shouted reply, Ele holding her red cheek and looking back at the wild Kitsune.

  “Look at my neckce” Kiko ordered, her eyes burning with a furie that Ele would just leave her like this after everything they had been through.

  “That’s different! I-I ’t trol this!” Ele’s words did nothing to pacify Kiko however, who just yanked off her Neckd threw it into the woods.

  “Well now her I, so take me with you”

  “Don’t be reckless, Kiko! You still get this under trol”

  “I am not going to accept that in a fantastical world of fug magic, you ’t trol whatever the hell it is you have!”“You don’t even know what it is! How you be g I trol it so easily?!”“Because I am not going to give up on you, not going to give up on this! I won’t let you throw your life away just because you are feeling morbid!”“It’s not even my life!”

  The argument grew i until Ele shrieked at Kiko, and stunned her into silenbsp;

  “Wh…what? Do, you mean?” Kiko’s voice stuttered, off bance from this suddeion.

  “Why do you think I needed a Gmour?” Ele asked, tears running down her eyes from the stress of the situation. Sometimes things hit hard and close, and it took time for the Kitsuality to ki. “I don’t belong to the Kruskis ot a single person there is at all reted to me. I just slide myself in here like a parasite looking for some sembnce of a life. And now…and now…” her breathing hitched and her body shuddered, eyes closing tightly and fists g.

  Blind to the world, Ele missed when Kiko ed her arms around Ele and stroked her brilliant blue hair.

  “The’s get married” Kiko excimed, her voice full of fidehat it shocked Ele out of her mounting hysteria. “If you don’t have a persoed to you there, then I will bee the persoed to you. If that is what it takes to keep you, I will do it” Kiko tinued, burning with passion to solve this problem with the biggest hammer that she could get her hands on at the moment.

  “You’re insane” Ele eventually ented, staring at Kiko, drained from the explosion and now the slow dissembling of her Mentality.

  “Yep” was the short reply from Kiko, spoken ily the same fident tone. “Now let’s get bap, and on the way you expin to me what the hell has caused all this” Kiko would then take Ele’s hand and head off towards the Camp.

  Ele, was silent for a few minutes, so Kiko took a meandering pace. Eventually, she got her feet under her and began to speak.

  “So, I’m a Raiju. We are a sub-race of Kitsunes, desded from the Thuail, Raiju Monatari. She arently a Magus without peer when it came to electrical powers” Ele started.

  ‘Mmhmm. So powerful in fact that her Magic tched to her soul and ged the genome of every child of her bloodlihe Five Great Mikos were definitely worthy of being called great’ Va put in, and Kiko reyed that to Ele.

  “You…you actually speak to Va?” Ele asked, her eyes bulged with amazement.

  “Mmm, I kept it secret because it sounds awkward to admit, but we are engaged now so s” Kiko replied.

  “Well…there goes my life’s dream” Ele replied with a soft ugh.

  Not sure if it was a joke or not given the previous tone, Kiko would just stare and wait for Ele to carry on.

  “It’s…I wao bee a Sei-Bushi of Va so I could ask her why I am like this. Why Raiju and Samanders are born different from their brothers and sisters. But, now it is such a simple reason, a reason I do nothing about…I’m doomed to be like my parents after all” Ele would slink back to the pit of despair, though Kiko would not allow that.

  “Bullshit. You’ve got awesome ice powers and apparently the desdant of a Kitsune so powerful she ged the very TNA of her children. Giving up is so not in your wheelhouse” Kiko excimed, skipping in front of Ele and walking backwards to stare at the woman.

  “...Maybe. I haven’t looked into Raiju very much. But my tribe….we, abahe facade of civility. We were monsters as much as any you find out there in the forests. And that’s eople think when you say Raiju” Ele would look down at her fingers - cracked from the use on the swordsman - and it was clear that Ele that something had gone down to prompt her leaving this tribe and forsake them.

  “So it’s settled then. We are grounded, so lots of time to ourselves. We are going to steal the training ground, get Eternia to ref, a a handle on these bloody powers. Raiju and Blood Moon. If you ignore our fear because of what they do to us, how is it any different to swordsmanship?” Kiko asked, stepping over a log behind her - Kitsune senses yay - and staring at Ele.

  The idea of wag this issue till they got a mastery of it was definitely not something Ele had ever thought of. Fear was certainly a reason, because of how wild she got in that state. But..could it really work?

  “Heh. Is this what it is like to be married?” Ele asked with a tohat was trying to be coy, but was still pretty emotionally fragile at the moment.

  “It is when you marry an Ator. Now e on, camp time. Anyone who says anythis a pun the head”
