"Fine." Ai didn't know this person. She didn't care if he left. "What now?" She asked Karei.
"What a waste of a life." Ai remarked. She knew what happened when people protected other. It was sad and stupid. Ai would never let it happen again. Not on her account.
I think I'm gonna be sick. How can she be so...nice? Ai turned her head to look somewhere else.
Yay... Ai stood up with her back against a tree. They're still not getting anything out of me.
"Great answer." Ai lowered her kunai. "But can we trust you?"
Ai whipped out a kunai, fast as lightening. "State your buisness." She said in a threatening voice.
"Oh..." Their story actually made Ai's heart hurt. "That's close to mine..." She looked at Karei again. "But it's nothing you need to know about." Ai's heart had hardened again.
"Fine." Ai sat back down. This might take awhile...
"Good," Ai dismissed the dragon transformation. "And yes, I could kill you. No matter what form you take. Just don't get me angry. I can't control myself when I'm angry." Ai shut her mouth. She had said too much.
"I don't think you want to engage in battle with me." Ai gave Karei a cold stare. "I've killed all who battle with me."
"Hasn't everyone? Geez, get over it." Ai had no pity for anyone who was weak. If you can't make it on you're own, why exist? She looked back at Karei and saw the sadness in her eyes. "What? Life's not all candy and rainbows. You've got to learn to fight for yourself.....like I did."
"Sixteen." Ai glanced in the direction that Zen had left. "What's up with him? We just met last night and he dumps you on me? Your brother is strange."
"Yay, babysitting." Ai glared at him as he left. "Don't expect anything out of me." She told Karei as she looked her up and down. "You're kinda short. How old are you?"
Ai rolled over in her sleep. "OW!" She hit the ground. "My butt....Oh!" She looked up at Zen and a girl. "Am I supposed to leave now?" She asked picking up her pack and standing up. She dusted off her pants.
Ai sat on a high branch. A squirel came down to sit near her. "Go away." She waved her hand in its direction. The squirel chittered but did not leave. "Annoying thing." Ai moved to a different branch. She adjusted herself so that she could sleep. "Another night alone." She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
"Tch." Ai wondered what sap story Zen had. Bet it can't beat mine anyways. Ai put the bread away. She looked up the tree she was sitting on. I could climb this. She stood up and removed her cloth belt. She wrapped it around the trunk and began to hoist herself up.
Ai stopped. I can...stay? She turned to thank Zen but he was leaving. She sighed and sat back down. And I was planning on having a good hunt. Oh well. Ai removed the stale bread from her pack. She took a small bite. "Life's not fair...."
"Then I'll leave." Ai stood up. "It's ok. I'm used to being kicked out." She adjusted her pack on her shoulder. "I'll find somewhere else." She gave him one last look and then walked away.
"Cuz I want to be." Ai said sarcastically. She found a piece of bread in her pack. She took it out, but put it back right away. Stale... "What do you want?" She looked up at Zen.
Ai reached the end of the town. "A forest, huh?" She sauntered in because she had nowhere else to go. "Good enough." She sat with her back against a tree. "That boy had a lot on his mind. I could tell just by looking in his eyes. I hope he gets along better than I did." She took off her pack and rifiled through it for something to eat.
