[Neverending NekoKitsune]

This thread needs another BUMP (: (hope you don't mind, lol.)  

[Ouijiji-san]

['course I don't mind. But at least we have both siblings and both masters, so that's mostly what we need to start. Best if we had the three other people, possibly more as well. So I dub thee thread...]

[OPEN]

Yumi woke up to complete darkness, but she could see everything clearly, bright as day. Did that make sense at all? With a soft sigh, she sat up and opened the curtains of the caravan slightly and was blinded temporarily by the setting sun. She winced and rubbed away furiously at her eyes. Being a newborne vampire wasn't easy, even after a few weeks, she still hadn't improved much. Maybe becoming a vampire was the wrong choice... Yumi thought as she looked down and tugged down at the handed down clothes she was given after her older ones were torn up and bloodied from the werewolf attack. No! She shook her head, trying to regain courage for the reason she was still alive to this day. It was just to find her family and to stick with them. And to apologize to her brother for what she had done, the empty gape in her heart left her lonely, but she knew he wasn't dead. She just knew. After stretching, Yumi opened the door to her caravan slightly and peeked out as the sun dipped low behind the trees, welcoming the dusk at last. A few other vampires were up 'early' and were already working, some relighting the silver flames of nitrate lamps which kept the werewolves at bay, some cooking meals for the whole camp that would be waking soon and others just simply louging around or other work. Yumi herself, her duty was to just train under her master, Ren Winterbourne. He was a highly repsected vampire so it seemed, and odd enough to take such a clumsy and worthless girl like her as an apprentice. But, she had to be greatful to get another chance at life. to be able to live again and searched for her other half. She wandered away from her residing sleeping area and towards the center of the camp where a large pit of fire was kept going 24/7 as she had to shield her eyes from the intensity of the light. But it was warm, and she would be eternally cold, so it felt nice. Yumi sat on a bench nearby, thinking about how she was going to find her brother in the first place and simply waiting for her master to start her training again for the night.

[Greedy Fat Cat]

With hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of dark locks, she turned her fair face towards him slowly. The rye field blew gently about the two, Ren staring rather intently at the maiden before him, her eyes austere yet gentle, holding great pain. Those lips painted soft pink parted slightly, her whole figure in slow motion. She floated above the grasses, like an angel blessing him in this perfect field, blessing the immortal with something he couldn't obtain ever in his life. Ren reached out with greed as his intent towards the alluring female. He had met her plenty times, many in situations unbefitting. Yet her divine form contorted. She bared her maw, her face lengthening. The wolf she became widened its mouth dripping in blood before
Ren awoke, gasping in his tangle of sheets. He leaned on his elbow, brushing through his hair with his fingers. Hopefully Yumi hadn't seen what sort of dreams have befallen him as of lately. Horrid, haunting dreams they were, plaguing him with burned images. Yumi was the new vampire he turned. Ever since, he and Yumi often have been sharing their dreams. Ren knew he should stay out of Yumi's business, it was only his dreams that he was scared of. For her to find out what's been on his mind lately...Lately, Ren had been put off, oddly introverted and reclined. Rarely did he leave his quarters any more. Ren was troubled by this. Yumi was such a sweet girl.
Ren often had very strong connections with the vampires he turned, his telepathic powers much easier to communicate with them than with others. However, he surely lacked the control himself when he slept and many images could slip unconsciously through the connection over to Yumi.

With a sigh, he knew it was irresponsible. How could he let things, even his thoughts, get so out of hand. He rolled out of his bed, fixing his bed hair before brushing aside the curtains that protected him from the sun. He heard many still asleep while others awake early. He'd let those to sleep only a tad bit longer. Ren stepped out of his quarters, looking about before looking to the sky. 'Don't cry, just look to the sky,' she said one day. Ren gave a small smile before turning, watching someone light a silver nitrate lantern. He felt Yumi close by, feeling her presence near and turned to the lights of the dancing fire. Ren sauntered over, seating himself next to her. He didn't say anything at first, staring off into the top of the flames where they flickered up and danced until they faded into the dark sky.

"Good morning," he murmured, still unsure if she hadn't 'saw' anything of his dream. "How have you been sleeping? Has it been hard for you?" He asked in a concerned tone.

 

[Ouijiji-san]

Yumi looked up when she heard her master's footsteps as though he were right next to her even though he had just left his own caravan. Her senses had greatly improved, but at a deadly toll of a constant thirst for blood. She nodded a quiet good morning back to him as she stared into the fire thinking about how to answer his question truthfully but not directly. In turn of being distracted from her own thoughts, she hadn't noticed too much of his. Mostly they were just short little glimpses and images, not even faces showed but feelings instead. Sometimes she'd see things she'd swore she had never seen before, and she guessed it was from her brother, another sign that he was alive. "I guess everyone has their own problems" she mumbled more to herself, though he must have heard it clearly. It wasn't that she wasn't restless, it was just that she tried to stay in her unconscious state for as long as possible. It was just in case she could see her brother through them, possibly to pinpoint where he was. So far, she had gotten nothing, so she just shook her head no. Right now, she should be finding her brother, but she couldn't do it now or she'd be eaten alive by werewolves again, and she had to show her gratitude to her master for saving her, so she might as well learn a thing or two from him and his son. Her own brother and family not might too happy now that she would be like this forever, no longer their daughter but a monster of the night. Or so she had thought all vampires were. She wasn't even sure they had existed until now. Master Ren having saved her life had really changed her view on them.

 

[Serrenedy]

Serrenedy watched carefully as the nitrate lamps started to wind down. If there was an exact time that the lamps went out, they could strike and destroy it all before they woke. She cursed softly as the nitrate lamps were re lit. She'd been looking for any sort of break in their outer wall, but the lamps worked for twelve hours. The smell was starting to get to her after sitting about all day. With the setting of the sun she fled, not stupid enough to be there when the vampire scum began to move about for the day. She returned to her own camp and retreated to her cave. She lifted from her floor the plan she'd been scouting for. With a growl she tore it to pieces. Hunting them in the day was impossible with those cursed lanterns all over the place. She snarled at once, and paced across her floor. Some part of her wished to go and destroy them even now. To run past the lamps and be killed just to have a slight chance at them. She paused, lifting her hand to her circlet. She gripped it tightly and took a deep breath as she traced the gem. " Half the fun is to plan the plan....all good things come to those who can-wait". It was an old song her mother had been fond of. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She crossed the floor to her sleeping furs and from them produced a silver dagger. Just being around it made her sick, but she gripped the blade tightly for just a few moments before returning it to its place. The burning pain in her hand chased away all tears, and her eyes became icy once more. She looked in on her daughter's section of the cave to find her still, very much asleep. She checked up upon her new 'student' Keisuke as well. He too was completely knocked out. She chuckled and returned to the forest to kill something to eat. A dear perhaps, or a nice boar to destroy what the silver may have missed. She couldn't wait until the children woke, she'd be able to have a nice fun spar to get her mind off of anything. Maybe she'd be lucky enough to think of something. Take out some sort of leader. She paused in her hunting to yawn, then shook out her hair and leaped in the river for a quick swim to refresh herself. As she rose out of the river she noticed a stag a few yards away. She killed it and dragged it back to her cave, starting a fire right outside she spit the large animal like it was nothing. She nodded with a small smile to see that her daughter and new pupil would wake to a meal. There was even enough left over to feed some of the orphan pups if she didn't have any. She was a hardened warrior, she could give her share to the children. She would find something else later.

Serena Blanche

The smell of meat wafted to her nostrils. It gave her a very strange dream. This had caused Serena to jolt back into consciousness. Her eyes scanned the area carefully, as if suspecting that the beings from her dream had followed her. When she deemed it clear, Serena slowly stood up and stretched. A silent yawn, which exposed her sharp and dangerous rows of teeth, escaped her mouth. Serena shook off the dirt particles that could have accumulated on her fur whilst sleeping before trotting off towards the delicious scent of meat.

"Maa...!" she cooed, glomping the older without hesitation. Most of their clan members would shake their head at her childish and 'disrespectful' behavior, but Serena could care less. How was she supposed to show her immense love and affection towards her mother if she acted the way people expected her to? Inwardly scoffing, Serena pushed the thought aside and unwrapped her arms from Serrenedy. "Why did you hunt aloooone? I told you that I wanted to go with..." She gave her mother a playful, yet accusing glare as her lips pursed. The charade was suddenly interrupted by a rather loud growl. "Why," she asked, "did you not eat yet?" Her slate blue eyes held a gaze that said You-should-eat-Alpha's-go-first. The truth was that Serena had noticed her mother's acts of self-sacrifice. If she kept it up, her health might accidentally drop. That wouldn't bode well for their pack.

[Greedy Fat Cat]

She was quiet still. Ren took notice of it and stood, dark eyes glittering in the flames of the fire as he stood and took a few steps forward. He turned, habitually rubbing the rings bestowed on his nimble fingers, a forlorn look about him.
"You'll get used to it eventually. It's not all too difficult," he added and then stretched, yawning as he did. It was still too early for him but he didn't want to go back to bed, no, he knew he would not be able to sleep a wink. Ren's eyes glanced back to Yumi. She must be thinking about her brother. How solemn her prospect was. She had mentioned him once when he first found her yet traces of him were untraceable. He gave a sigh and walked back, relaxing back on the seat next to Yumi's.
"If you haven't lost your appetite, how about we have a bite?" Ren managed to give her an encouraging smile, offering his hand to her. "If there is anything bothering you, please tell me," he murmured in a low voice and stood.

 

[Serrenedy]

Serrenedy smiled at her daughter and hugged her back even harder. "Hello Serena, nice sleep?" She asked with a ruffle to her daughter's hair. "I would have woken you to hunt with me, but you need a good sleep before your training. Hunting is all well and good, but a good nights rest is the only way to assure you'll be a hundred percent at all times...that and a good meal." She smiled, gesturing to the meat. Her own stomach growled, she scowled at it-it was silly of her body to do so, if she'd gone without a meal for a day or two it wouldn't effect her efficiency either way. She flushed when her daughter questioned her, "No, not yet, but I'm fine. She smiled. "You eat, you're younger, and if I have anything to say about it, soon you'll be stronger. You need your strength my dear.

Serena Blanche

"It was alright. The usual weird dreams," she chirped, leaning into her mother's hand. The smell of food was getting harder to resist, but it would be rude to not greet your own Alpha Female. "You are stubborn." Getting onto her fours, she walked towards the meal and ripped a decent sized chunk of meat off it. Without a second thought, Serena trotted back to Serrenedy and nudged the meat into her hands. Once she was sure it was is her mother's grasp, Serena leaped at the meat and tore another chunk out of it. With a couple of smacking and chewing sounds, the meat was no longer in her paws. "I'm going off to the watering hole!" Serena announced as she got up and languidly made her way to the said place.

Having arrived at her destination, she phased back into her human form and hopped in. Serene wore an expression of satisfaction as she resurfaced. Bathing right after a meal or battle is absolutely wonderful... As she floated on her back, her thoughts began to drift towards the vampires. When would they begin? Who's blood will be shed? Who will win? And... who will emerge as the victor?

[Serrenedy]

BE CAREFUL Serrenedy called after her daughter. She spent all of twenty three seconds smiling after her before grabbing one of her students, not the new student, but one of the old ones. Sneak behind my daughter and attack her, it's stealth training for you and it keeps her on her toes With that she sent the boy off and went into her cave. She grabbed a wooden spear and sat by the entrance of the cave. She rested, ready to spring if the occasion called for it, but necessarily just to stop for just a moment. Her body and mind, unlike her will, were not unyielding.  

[Ouijiji-san]

Yumi watched her master get up with a far-off look, thinking about the dreams he must have been having that Yumi herself had seen bits and pieces of. Her eyes wandered back to the ground, unable to speak of anything else. She did look up again however when her Ren held a hand out to her and she looked down at his hand, then back up at him, then back down as she took it, still with a solemn look on her face, despite his warm smile. "Right" she said with a simple nod. But she couldn't really talk her problems out at the moment, it was too soon after such an event like that.

Keisuke Colonello "Colo" Seoul

An icy breeze ruffled him awake, causing him to blink his eyes and yawn. "Hey Sis, wa-" Keisuke began before he realized she wasn't there. He blinked and sighed, shaking his head. He kept thinking that his sister would be right there when he woke up. It only took a second or two to realize that she was no longer with him... for now. Keisuke was determined to find her for sure. He stretched, another yawn escaping from his mouth before he headed out of the cave he had taken a nap in. Glancing around, he noticed his master sitting by the entrance to her cave. A smirk came to his face as he crawled forward, completely flat against the ground as he quietly came closer, his ears flat against his head as he made sure that he was downwind. When Keisuke came close enough, he leaped, aiming for his master before perking his ears up and walking excitedly around her like a child. "Hey, hey, master. What are you gonna teach me today?" Keisuke asked, wagging his gray tail as he looked up at his master. He enjoyed being here with the ones who have saved him, but he wondered what would happen if he found his sister. "Let's not think about that now." Keisuke thought to himself as his ear twitched, as if flicking off a bug.  

[Serrenedy]

A sent reached her nose in her resting state. Not familiar enough to be her daughter or one of the older students, too familiar to be anything dangerous.She resisted a smirk as he grew near and as he leaped she stood, dodging. She opened her eyes down at him. A gentle smile graced her lips at the mere sight of his raw energy. "Down pup" She instructed with a ruffle to his hair. "First thing's first, eat" She demanded, gesturing to the meat. "A good meal and a good rest, then we can train.you tried to go downwind, that was good-except you hadn't been to the river yet. Your smell is stronger then you realize dear, when you've been laying in one spot for awhile it saturates around you. She grinned. "Not a bad effort, but you've alot to learn if you wish to best me pup"

Keisuke Colonello "Colo" Seoul

Keisuke shook his head, shrugging off the awkward landing he made after missing. At his master's order, he immediately obeyed her, his rear meeting the stone cave floor, his gray tail continuously tapping against it. He glanced at the meat before him, cocking his head to the side, as if wondering what to do with it. "I've had my rest, and I can just get something to eat if you're still training me on hunting! Or on the way!" Keisuke exclaimed, about to stand on all four paws before he realized she didn't really tell him what training they were doing. "You should eat first. Besides, I just woke up, so I don't have an appetite right now." He replied, knowing that she hadn't had a bite despite having hunted it herself. Keisuke's ears perked at her small praise about going downwind. He sniffed his fur, still too inexperienced to smell much at this early stage. "Really? I needa get to the river later then. I'll catch you by surprise one day, master!" He declared confidently, puffing out his chest as if he already had a plan. "So? So? What's today's training?" Keisuke inquired, his front paws tapping impatiently as he couldn't wait to get up and start whatever she had planned for their training.
