Contract Teaching ;; Hidden in the Darkness

[Toraono Ryota]

Shion was quietly lying against his contract Nyr, it looked to most people as if a giant beast sounded asleep. His fur is a mix of black and white, his backside is mostly covered by black fur, which goes from the head towards the tail. Nyr is a canine who is 1,90M tall and his weight is so much that if he ever lay down on Shion, Shion would scold the living hell of it. Despite Shion lying down there, he could see every little thing that was happening around the place.
'Not sure I can ever get used to the snow Nyr...'
'Is that because of the sound being less loud?'
' Yea... It's safe to say that a lot of sounds are muffled due to it... but also there are so many fewer animals around..' The canine replied by patting his tail on the snow to create a little more sound. Shion would smile softly before nuzzling a little in towards the fur of the animal. He was holding a break before he would move along to the casino in Crater City. It was warmer here than it had been in the Cloud area. Something that made him wonder as to why it was such a big difference... And yet at the same time, he thought about the warmth that he had been having in the Sand areas. "Yea.. rather cold than heat," he muttered as he closed his eyes, trying to get a little shut-eye.

Nyr, as guardian, had been guarding the place and tried to keep as quiet as possible for Shion. Even shielding him with his tail till he heard something, a low growl sounded from the beast that woke Shion up in an instant. As for him, it was loud... He kept his eyes closed as he tried to sense who what or where. Given his status... you never knew if anyone or someone was lurking to give him a beating. it would be well before someone came to them, that Nyr disappeared in a pfuf of smoke, leaving Shion to whack the ground hard and roll over holding the back of his head. "G- HOOT OF A DOG!" He shouted to the sky before getting up, that honestly did hurt him and he walked to grab his fedora. He dusted it off before he would walk around a little before noticing a female figure. "Oi... aren't you getting lost around these parts?" He asked the figure as he couldn't see any color details anways.
"There is always something lurking in the dark you know."

It was childish for her to be out here, especially without her protector and saviour well Akira was many things, but it was still hard for her to admit this and completely cling to her side. She wanted her own freedom and like that in the night she swept to her own duties. And the first was training, she darted and dashed in her new environment in an attempt to learn the ins and outs of this very realm. Konoha... what a vibrant land, one that she'd only read about in books. To think that there was a time that she never would have been able to see these exotic and colourful plants, shrubbery and everything in between. Although with her sight stored, she certainly used her senses to the most in an attempt to become familiar with these foreign lands.

Resting her palm across the strong bark of a tree she could feel the pattern as she slid her fingers down the side of it, a most majestically strong piece of nature. One that she'd never seen the likes of back in kumogakure, it was something that she never wished to part ways with for some sick reason. Like a child finally having the soft shelter of a parent's caress it felt strange for the trees to bask her even further in the darkness. Despite the strange peace that she had found underneath this starry night unfortunately mother nature didn't have the same plans for her as a singular red almost glistening apple would fall from this very tree on to her head. Causing her to make a small eep in shock and slight pain as she grabbed her assaulter mid fall.

Although it appears her hidden spot had been compromised, the very thing she was told not to do. Interact with others, the consequences for if she was found could be detrimental and yet here she was. The growls and barks of a mutt resonated through the night sky yet the energy radiated from them sounded as if it could rip her in to crimson ribbons if she wasn't careful. An in an instant all the horrific noises were... gone? Her heartbeat was already raising as her dyed hair sparkled in the dusk, it was then when she heard a loud shout, cursing the dog? It seemed almost venomous, although her position was still compromised. He looked... like an adult... Sticking in the dark she would speak out quietly. "I guess we both are in the dark, no need for any sort of aggression. As we appear to be not so unlike." Steering the conversation with a silver tongue needing some sharpening. "What makes you think I am lost?"

Shion would eye the other, seeing more in the dark than most of the people were doing anyway... Through the shouting earlier he had noticed her out of there. A heavy sigh was given as he sat back down and slightly rubbed the back of his head. "well... what do you think, you are hiding in a painter hole somewhere and not even moving. That displayed you are either a. taking a camp or b. lost and chicken it out for the night. Seeing as you have no camping gear set out... You'd rather not be noticed, so there you are either a. running from something or b. Hiding from something before something gets you killed." He would ramble on before stopping and looking towards the figure he was seeing through the sound echoes. "So you can tell me which one... Or rather... my partner." While he had been rubbing his head, he had summoned Aki his yokai contract who was now almost beside her and chuckling.

Aki is standing tall at one meter and seventy-four centimeters, he has some muscles he always shows around. Covering his whole body are marks that can be translated into demonic words. His hairs are wild and untamed below the hoodie and he always cuts his hairs with a dagger. His attire is always the same, cargo pants with a long top coat. "little missi cannot hide from the dark... all she can do is embrace it.. I wonder if she would." Shion knew by Aki's words that he had a plan set up... and Shion would keep an eye on the contract. A voice inside of him spoke to Shion and Shion only. "She is odd..." This made Shion chuckle out loud as he started to lean against a tree as he got closer.

"if you think you can take his test... feel free, but if not.. be prepared to get wounded." He would comment before pointing to Aki who was grinning big.

It appears faster than she ever would of noticed she was surrounded. The man's ways with words were strange but almost as if they demanded an answer, forcing her to pick and yet not to decide her own. Where in truth, her reasoning for being out here was a lot more simple, but perhaps elements of things exchanged carried semblances of truth. "R-running..." It was no more than a whisper to herself, a moment of thought exemplified through out of her two cherry closed lips. Her head flicking behind as she a sense of danger screamed as if death was calling her name, a visage covered in dreadful scars...? No.. markings. Demonic and dreadful in shape and size.

Her research in the library couldn't have prepared her for this, could anything have? She hadn't even sensed his presence until the strange man had alluded towards this even stranger individual. She could certainly sense a threat of danger. And with value for her life she'd play along with whatever was said. She couldn't die hear, not now, not so soon. "W-well, I won't fight the dark, I was merely minding my own business, but sure we could play a game. What's your fashion? Tag? Rock paper scissors?" Spewing whatever she could to remain some kind of composure, she wasn't sure if in herself that she could keep it hidden for much longer depending on what transpired.

Damnit, why here, why now.

'Running huh...' He thought to himself hearing how the Yokai was dearing her... Shion had to be honest with her that she was brave. "You sure have guts... Seeing a yokai out of nothing and on top of one a past warlock..." he would chuckle before his yokai took over....

"You sleep now..."​

And with that... she hopefully would already be under the genjutsu that the Yokai had placed on her, almost an alternative reality that would be picture-perfect for the other. Her whole world would be a few years back, and everything would be a picture perfect like how she wanted it to be. It would be up to her to defeat this genjutsu from the yokai, to defeat it all or to remain sleeping till morning.

' it was not that mean..'
it was pretty mean...'
' but but... All I did was give her a big puzzle.'
Oh really... the one you gave me years ago and I still did not WHACK YOU ENOUGH FOR IT?!;
At this point... The yokai and Shion were both bickering towards each other like a married couple... While shion took care fo the girls body...
He even made a small campfire, to keep her warm, gave her marshmallows in case she woke up too early and don't forget his blanket that he used when on travels... After all... It kind of was his fault that the Yokai put her under an evil one.... Because who knew what would happen when she started to get the hang out of the genjutsu along with the dream...
"It will all... go to ... shreds at some point." He spoke out loud.

Before she'd even get the chance to reply to the strange man. the young girl was placed in to a trance far behind her comprehension. Not that she was aware mind you. A warm fuzzy feeling would circle round the Ryuu as she felt the winds of change in the form of a small breeze gently caress the tips of her hair before awakening in a bed. Surrounded by plushies, small toys and all of the sort, the twelve year old with her bright pink pajamas to boot would stumble out of bed, taking a large yawn as she did before rubbing her eyes to the smell of a delicious breakfast meal. Her favourite! Pancakes, cream and blueberries sprinkled with several pink... you guessed it sprinkles! A scrumptious meal that she couldn't wait to get her hands on, grabbing a small and delicate brush which clearly was a little worse for wear yet still a treasure to Sumika she would calmly brush her bed hair to the long straight and presentable fashion that she oh so loved.

Being the young girl that she was all she had to worry about in these days were homework and boys, a poster of a popular singer known for EDM would be up on her wall, her eye focus flicking between that as well as her slippers. The small things with cutesy rabbit patterns all around them would make for a comfy protection for her feet. The aroma of the food was becoming almost overwhelming as she couldn't help but allow her cheeks to turn a rosey red as she burst out of her room in a childlike manner. Running down the hallway an energetic and cheerful voice would shoot out from one of the rooms the child ran past. "Mornin' Sumi! Give ma a hug for me!" Her dear father's voice would echo out, before a light strumming of a biwa could be heard from the same origin.

"Got it dad!" The words would practically flow out of her mouth without a thought crossing her mind, although this time it felt... strange. Not that she thought twice, her pitter patter would begin to slow before stopping at the door of the kitchen, it was wide open and the smell was almost intoxicating begging to be devoured the pancakes laid on the table. Her mother washing the dishes. "Mummy!" Arms stretched widely out, as her mom was faced away tending to the dishes in the sink, Sumika wrapped herself round her leg. Looking up at her whilst hopping to herself. "Good morning mummy" A large smile painted across her face. Although the one who'd she see looking down at her with an equally as large smile was... Rei's?

Shion would leave a big, big yawn as he was sitting guard... A part of him was glad that he had one of his rare episodes of insomnia... It made him stay awake with whatever his yokai was doing. "So..?" He questioned while listening to his explanation... he would make sure that this female would stay safe.

A dream... So sickly sweet, so picture perfect that even if you would tell a soul. They would not believe the fairytale that someone would be living. Not to mention it was so perfect, that people could turn jealous. Yet little did she know, that all those carefree times were about to be changed... Just like how her dad was treating her like a princess... it would soon abruptly change. The sweet innocent dream... Would turn in on its own. Things would be told to her, first as sweet... little.. whispers filled with poison.

Her world would be tumbling down as the warlock was softly humming to himself and having an annoying smile on his face. All while Shion was cleaning up a rabbit that he had hunted... She would probably be hungry... or maybe he just was. After it was skinned he would slow cook it over the fire. Sighing to himself he would look over the female. Seeing how the chest area was still moving up and down... it seemed like she wasn't dying of a heart attack of his yokai yet. Boredly he would continue just playing with the knife he always carried on him... In this case to skin the rabbit.
