under the blue moon

As the water evaporated, the fish hit the ground and started to flop around. Squirming and huffing. The bad thing was, unlike half form, fish form needed water to live. The fish stopped moving and started to sizzle, smoke drifting up from it’s scales until it turned back into the teacher. Laying face down on the ground with his hands splayed out and tail curled to the side. He raised his head, damp, dark, green hair clinging to his back and shoulders as his golden eyes looked up. Instantly seeing Shadow.

Yuriasu pressed his webbed hand to the ground and pushed himself up. “I wonder if perhaps you have another means of destroying doors.” he replied to her. Not even looking over the fact that he was laying on the ground as a large fish.

Kankure crossed his arms. “I am also a qualified herbalist. And have gathered the sap of many Amabael’s on my own.” If one knew of the forest, then they knew that being a herbalist was no easy job. Man eating plants, poisonous vines, shadow griffons, sunflower tassles- all of them very life threatening. Amabael was an extremely large flower with the stem the size of a father(elder) tree. Many overly large bees gathered there as well. And the stem offered very useful sap for healers. Naturally, Spiritual Entities gathered this themselves with no help of anything other than their fellow kin. “I am going on my own.” he replied stubbornly.

The reason for this was because he did not wish to cause anyone harm if anything happened. And it was much more of a chore to try and protect someone while not getting killed yourself. And, of course, Kankure wouldn’t let someone die or get hurt. So it’d be very distracting. “You may pass me over to detention after class if you wish to enforce this rule of the facility.”

"If you get into trouble at all, dont go calling for anyone. Noone will help you" Sebastian said. "Everyone head out" He called in a nicer tone then turned without saying anything else and went back to the school.
"come on Yoh" Forest said and the 2 walked out into the forest.

"Why did they send me out if it was so dangerous?" Yoh asked Forest. "Because Im an elf. The only problem is that I was not raised with Elves, but I still know the forest" Forest said as pair started sepperating from the group

shadow watched him silently for a moment her eyes flashed red before going back to there normal sky blue she laughed a little before standing up shaking her head she wondered how she could of let a merperson into here she tapped her chin thinking she wondered if he was going to stay here she sat back down out of boredom"i wonder some thing different i am wondering why your here and how you got past my spell line"shadow said looking at him she really wanted to know if some other thing that wasnt loud here it would of turned to ash...

[geinkotsu]

Kankure watched him leave, then left himself. Walking along the forest and going as far as possible before entering the forest. His footsteps were light, silent, precise. Feeling the earth under his bare feet and the warmth of the soil, the hardy, stern roots of the trees, the smell of damp soil and wood and the smell of rain that clung to the plants and earth. It was rather nice, actually. “Do not help me. You will only cause me to falter.” he said to Dante out loud. ‘Whatever. Just don’t die. I still want to go to the town to cause some mayhem.’ Kankure rolled his eyes.

He kept his soft pace, quietly moving through the forest as his hands only lightly brushed the trees as he stepped over roots and took in all the scents, smells, and movements. Placing the living things, plants and animals alike, around him. Kankure paused, a vine moving just under his foot where he was to step. He stepped back and crouched down. The vine burrowed under the earth, hiding itself from Kankure. But it was no vine. “You are a shy one.” Kankure cooed. He looked around, eyes spotting a grass like herb growing near the crook of a tree.

He stood, walking over and picking a hand full of the sweetest blades, then returned. He gave a low pitch whistle, picking blade of the herb and waving it above the dirt. Small leafy vines came from the soil, grabbing the blade and pulling it down. Kankure smiled, waving another one above the dirt, but higher. A black bud appeared with a starfish like mouth, as it emerged, colorful orangish red petals came too and a small flower like creature emerged with leaf like hands and root feet. It grabbed the blade with its leafy hands and munched on the herb. A poisonous Sunflower Tassle. But, if handled right, they were no more dangerous than a house cat.

Kankure sat down and fed the tassle. It was rather adorable, if you thought about it. Kankure smiled, feeling at home really. ‘Is this all you are going to do? Because I see no reason in it.’ Dante commented. “The forest is full of danger. But if you respect it, then it will respect you. I suppose that does not count for all the inhabitant of the forest… there are things that have the same irrational line of thinking as you.” Kankure retorted as he fed the cute tassle that squeaked and begged for more.

Yuriasu lifted himself up into a sitting position, letting his tail curl slightly as he kept a hand on the floor to keep himself up. If he lifted his hand up, he’d only fall back to the floor. A disadvantage, for sure. “Anyone can use magic.” Yuriasu replied simply. He brushed away the strands of wet hair from his face. “Besides, once the secret is out, all the magic of a mystery is gone.” Yuriasu opened his long-fingered hand and a towel fell from a portal. He started to dry himself off, patting his neck and drying out his hair.

shadow leaned back against the wall what he said was true she guessed her eyes shifted to a darker blue she yawned a little she still wondered why on a lot of things she wondered why she didnt sense him before her eyes got the far away look she remembered sensing him then it was blank she could tell any thing about him but no one can change her spell line it was tight only she could change it she blinked and her eyes turned to a sky blue maybe she did have weak spots in the line but she double checked it every night when she went out..

[geinkotsu]

As soon as Yuriasu dried himself, his tail disappeared and his fingers returned to human. He was left in his pants, the golden chain wrapped around his waist. But he was shirtless, shoeless, capeless, bookless, and glassless. Leaving him looking rather bare. His now dry mint green hair was curled around his face in messy strings. His body was lean, yet well toned. However, his skin was marred. A long scar on his back that wrapped around his shoulder blade, down his back, and to his waist. Even if he could disguise himself as human, he could not deceive the marks of his past. No matter how skilled a mage he was, he was not perfect. “You should really be in class.” Yuriasu said, dropping the now damp towel into a portal and letting it close up.

He walked out of the bathroom, not even caring he was half dressed. He had somewhere to go- home. He only had one class a day, since his class was an elective and not many signed up.

shadow sighed and yawned again before heading out the door towards the forest shifting into a wolf she could sense every one in the woods she still needed to find out what happened to the girl and what was that fox looking thing she wondered she headed towards where she smelled the girl she stayed in wolf form as she headed that way wondering why it grabbed her..

[~Sebastian's Cat~]

"this way!" Forest said, running in one direction but stopped with Yoh when she heard a voice. to all that is smart enough to listen Sebastian thought to everyone in the forest. the object is to get to where I am without being stupid and getting killed he thought. you got that Forest? he asked. Forest heard some snickering. She growled angrily. "What was it?" Yoh asked. "nothing" Forest said.

Sebastian made himself go somewhere in the middle of the forest. It was really protected by tons of...er...not so friendly plants. Forest grabbed Yohs wrist and ran in one direction

Kankure paused when he heard Sebastian’s voice. He finished feeding the sunflower tassle gently rubbing it’s jaws before pointing it towards the patch of grass. It waddled off and disappeared under the ground, eating the herbs from underneath. Kankure smiled warmly as blades of the herb began disappearing underground. “Farewell, Mellonamin…” he whispered, then walked on. He closed his eyes as he walked. Feeling the earth around him, taking in the aura of others. He was much farther than most. But he could still feel the faint demonic aura. Though it was a tad difficult to pinpoint.

He walked for a bit before determining the right directions. He double checked, then jumped into the tree and took off running. Jumping through the trees. Each step was light, only lasting for a fraction of a second as his steps barely even rustled the leaves. Not a creak or groan came from the branches he stepped on as he sprinted through the trees as if it were solid ground. His pale skin beckoned the light of the moonlight in broken cascades of light that filtered through the leaves. His royal blue eyes held determination, pure driven concentration, and knowledge reflected upon skill that came through instinct.

Upon reaching a clearing lacking trees, but not monstrous plants, Kankure burst from the trees in a ravenous bundle of leaves that exploded out of the tree. The leaves quickly fluttered away, littering the area in green leaves as they drifted down. Kankure landed in front of a large cotton ball looking plant, looking very friendly. A snapacodius plant. And, it’s name based on it’s not-so-cute actions. Suddenly, the thing reared it’s massive jaws and snapped at Kankure. Quick like that of a snake. Kankure summoned a slab of earth in front of him. The hard rock making a wall between them. But the plant struck it dead on and broke it in pieces. Sending sharps chunks at Kankure as the points further tore his cloths and cut through his skin.

Kankure jumped back quickly, landing on his hands and further vaulting back as the plant continued to attack him. The spiritual entity was a sight to behold, battling on nature as if it were a highly coordinated dance. His pale skin giving a soft glow from the illuminant rays of the open moon and his hair sways with each fluid movement. Kankure came to the edge of the trees and started to run along it. While, ahead of him, he conjured a purified blade from the earth. Drawing the elements from the earth to make the strongest sword possible as it formed the hilt and came up from the dirt, the ground caving inwards as stone was built into it.

He abruptly stopped, skidding as he grabbed the blade and rolling to the ground as the plant snapped at him again, teeth narrowly dodging him. Kankure ran forward, leaping from side to side when the monstrous thing lunged at him time and time again. When it’s mouth came close, he slashed his blade and cut a few large teeth from his mouth as they fell to the ground like rocks, impaling the earth as one cut into his arm. Kankure did not even as much as wince, to preoccupied with the thing in front of him. He ran to the side, circling it- but there were even more plants. Ravenous black vines with thick toothed thorns and sharp ends that equal to that of a sword.

Kankure jumped up, dodging a vine that swept at him, but in the direct line of attack for the Snapacodius. It lunged at him, teeth bared. Kankure slashed his sword and fire spewed from the blade. Burning like hells fire as the red and white flame cut through the air and hit the plant. A shrill shriek came from it and it thrashed at Kankure, sending him flying across the clearing with little fuzzy white pieces drifting off him from the plant. He sailed way over Sebastian’s head and across the entire clearing, hitting the trees at the other side. A few broke from his momentum, crashing in a thunderous uproar as smoke lifted from the area.

The thing that sucked was, these plants reproduced like rats. And the fact that they covered the entire area around Sebastian. So no matter what angle, you came across one of these horrible plants. Kankure shook his head, regaining his composure as he picked himself up and walked towards the plants with a quick stride. Bending over and picking up his sword slanted in the earth without breaking pace, then running at them with the same energy as before. Sprinting like a leopard after it’s prey. He came across a different plant, something more venomous than rip-you-apart-ous. It was like a tree trunk, with many intertwined roots planting it in the ground. Atop the monstrosity was a circular mouth with shark-like rowed teeth and large insect like fangs that one would expect on an overgrown spider. Growing from all sides of it are thorned dark magenta vines that sway and squirm with ends that have sharp star shaped petals and sharp mouths in the middle. Able to close to have impaling potential.
(Like I said, I love makin’ me some monsters)

Kankure evading the vines that tried to strike him and hissed in low, menacing tones. Cutting any that got too close for comfort and burning the heads before they could possible burrow into the ground and germinate more plants. Kankure, although peaceful, was taught how to fight. And he was not ignorant of plants either, so it wasn’t likely he’d slip up too badly. Lest getting hit by a large plant and sent across the forest was a major slip up. The thin screeched at him and roots impaled up from the ground. Kankure rolled away, getting to his feet quickly and sprinting away. As he ran, he tore earth from the ground and threw it at the enormous mound of vicious, dark, brown roots. Impaling the wood with the sharp rock and damaging the plant.

He leapt up, over the next root and ran back towards it as fast as possible, zigzagging away from roots, then jumping up high, grabbing his strong, stone-made sword with both hands. Wind circled around the blade as fire began to funnel on it, flickering intensely and giving an ominous, deadly glow to Kankure’s kin. Vines spewed past him, cutting his clothing and skin as droplets of blood rolled off his skin and into the air. He fell past the large fangs and cut his sword down through it’s middle- with such momentum he sliced it in half. It last dying breath escaped in a hollow cry as it fell either way to the ground and crumbled into shriveled vine and root.

But even so, more plants lay ahead. Kankure twirled the sword in his hand before gripping it tightly and walking forward, stepping on one of the roots and crushing it with his bare foot. He was like the terminator of plants. “Anahsu ai yuan, Mellonamin. [Rest in peace, My friend]” Kankure muttered to the dead plant behind him as he walked forward into even more plants and began to fight them as well. Flames burned through the night air and gave off short bursts of orange light as wind strongly cut through trees and plants and rocks sailed through the sky as water burst into pelets of rain. The four elements being utilized like a destructive training course as Kankure hacked his way through plant after plant, gaining more injuries that varied between acid burns, cuts, minor to severe poisons, cuts, scrapes, gashes, sprains, and a few holes here and there from narrowly dodged impaling objects.

He came out very alive, though obviously tired. He had cut a direct path through, this time not using the air as much. As he did not want to be thrown across the clearing again- if you could call this abundance of monsters a ‘clearing’. He looked back to see the pathway growing in again. He was so not going back that way. Kankure sighed, letting go of his sword as it disintegrated into sand like soil and molded back into the earth. He walked over to Sebastian, then just literally collapsed to the floor from exhaustion. He’d been going at this fighting crap for three days now. He wasn’t very happy or in good shape. He was tired beyond tired, and had not much of a chance to rest the past days.

“It amazes me… one could gather… so many…” he mumbled. Obviously talking about the damned plants that just tried to eat, maim, and poison, and split him in twain. Kankure closed his eyes. Though, not necessarily sleeping. He just needed to rest… He didn’t think he could walk for a while, let alone fight anything else. He was covered head to toe in wounds- though not life threatening. It’d take a good few hours to make it become life threatening. He could feel the soft grass meshed under him and prickling at his skin tenderly. And that was when a Sunflower Tassle came up from the ground and crawled over to him. The same one from earlier. It seemed it evaded all the other plants by going underneath.

The tassle snuggled into Kankure, squirming under his arm and clinging to him as if Kankure was it’s caretaker. A very odd thing considering Sunflower Tassles were rather evil towards people and liked to bite and inject their venom into people like it was a sport. Kankure didn’t bother to open his eyes, just using a finger to lazily stroke the tassle’s petals. Making it give a strange gurgling purr from happiness.
