Strange Vulcans (Swor and Kenshin)

Kenshin sat at the edge of the forest using the little rest area before one was truly entering the forest as a spot to warm up for his mission, he was also a bit nervous about this one as he would have no idea who he was working with. He had been trying his hardest to get to know those within his guild but nobody was willing to go on a mission with him at the moment so he took up a job for someone outside his guild. He had gotten slightly annoyed because apparently asking passerby if they were from Blue Pegasus got him strange looks and a few insults so he decided it was best to stop asking and warm up. It was a bit odd, a tall individual who was clearly dressed for a fight with his jade armor chest piece and staff but he was hoping by making himself as noticeable as possible would help him find his partner.

He was swinging his staff rapidly over his head only to drop it and catch it and resume spinning but this time behind his back, then moving it again to the front as he looked around bored, a few times it looked like he should of struck himself during the rapid twirls but the staff always managed to just barely avoid his head. His cloak was on a heap before him and sitting on it was Murasaki, his rabbit pet who looked up at his human friend for a moment. Kenshin returns the gaze rolls his eyes and plants the staff in the ground upright. "I told you I dont remember, I think it was a she" he says clearly talking to the rabbit. ".... dont be rude now, you know why you have to stay out here, think of all the predators the forest must have, do you want to get eaten by a snake?" he says getting angry at the rabbits stare. "Well fine if you feel that way!" he shouts and with a sigh turns around to face away from the rabbit. "You always look out for me but noooooo I worry bout you for a change and suddenly I'm smothering you" he grumbles turning around only long enough to steal the large bottle from his cloak, containing a normal alcoholic drink as his anger was starting to hit his buzz. He leans against his staff as he takes a few drinks, along his belt were a mixture of strange bottles but those werent for time passing drinking and he had to remind himself that as he took a huge mouthful from the bottle and could feel it was starting to run low.

"SORRY OLD GEEZER!" Carulea shouted as she yet again bumped into another man on the street, this is why she hated crowded places. "Not him!"  That and her annoying pet calmly flying above her, stating the obvious and not getting hit by anything. She had been running through the streets full of people because she waslate for the train ....again. Her two twin albino 'cousins' had forgotten to wake her up in time for her train so she had to take the next one. Those two were always able to get on her nerves, even though Bakura was always the mastermind behind all of their annoying plans, Ryo just always helps him, out of politeness of course. BUMP.SLAM.....This was getting ridiculous. "Yuhi, carry me out of here." Dasher ordered, her frosty orbs snapping in irritation at all of the people around her. Yuhi nodded and grabbed a hold of the back of her shirt, lifting her up above the other people and bringing her on top of the roof of a house. "Merci." Carulea thanked as she looked around, she could see the spooky forest from up there, well, at least she knew she didn't have to walk around for too long. No, she was not going down on the streets again, the people where despicable, the summoner's frosty eyes glared at the people on the roads before focusing on the roofs of the buildings around her.  Yep, they could make her own, private road, Carulea grinned as she started jumping towards spooky forest, from roof to roof. It wasn't the 1st time she had done this.

Carulea sighed as she looked down at the boy under the tree, so this was her partner? Hmm, he matched the picture so she did what she usually does, she wrapped her legs around the tree branch and leaned down so her face was right in front of his. "Hi, I'm Carulea Dasher, your partner for the mission, sorry to keep you waiting." She greeted with a wide feral grin, showing her rather pointy white teeth. She knew that she didn't really look like a girl with such a flat chest and short hair, but she didn't mind it much as long as her friends accepted her.

Kenshin's one eye widened when suddenly there was someone's face right in his own and his brawling reflex kicked and his hand shot out to his staff and he was about to take a swing when his rabbit jumped through the air kicking him in the back of the head. "Ow! What you do that for?" he asks turning back to the little white creature who shares some unspoken words and Kenshin calms down. "If you say so" he mumbles putting the heavy staff back down.


"Sorry, names give me a hard time" he explains grinning back and something about her animistic nature was actually a bit comforting to him, due to his bloodline he too had a few animal traits and it created a sense of familiarity with her. "But the rabbit says you're my partner for this job, so nice to meet you Dasher" he says not bothering to try and attempt to say her first name but feeling like they were going to be heading out soon he gives the bottom of his staff a firm kick getting it to spin so he could set it on his shoulder. "Shall we?" he asks a bit eagerly, remembering that the job was going to invovle a bit of a fight, something that aside from drinking he rather enjoyed doing

Sorry, names give me a hard time." The red haired boy explained as Carulea nodded in understanding. Bakura had a hard time remembering his own last name at times so she as kind of used to these types of people. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't out of stupidity, he just never really cared about his family. "But the rabbit says you're my partner for this job, so nice to meet you Dasher." The blond mage blinked at that as she looked at the cute animal besides her partner. It was white and fluffy,it had a cloak and apparently, it was able to speak. Her partner had a staff, it was a rather pretty golden-red staff with weird markings on it, the boy didn't seem to have much problems wielding it. "Shall we?" The boy asked her, he seemed eager and that made Carulea raise an eyebrow at him. The summoner nodded as they both entered the dark forest, Carulea was rather cautious for now, who knew where these vulcans could pop out from.

So far the two mages have been walking for around fifteen minutes, and she was sure that they were starting to enter the deeper parts of the forest. Both her and the boy were quiet while Yuhi was singing a random happy song which went something like "All around the Mulberry Bush, the monkey chased the weasel....." Carulea didn't mind the singing, in fact Yuhi sang well, for a plush toy. The mage was sure someone had sang that song to her when she was young, probably her mother, so she started walking in the rythm of it. "....pop goes the weasel." At the exact time that the lyrics of the song had finished two vulcans landed infront of her and her partner. One of the vulcans looked pretty young while the other one was bigger but didn't look strong, Carulea chuckled at that and swung her arm at the older one. Her bracelet collided with the stomach of the adult vulcan, sending it flying back towards a tree. "This wont be that hard." The blond mage said as she turned her head and winked at her partner.

Kenshin kept giving Dasher a few side glances curiously as they walked along. He got the feelings they were being watched and in preparation pulled out a bottle from his belt and after pulling the cork out drank it slowly for a change, his one eye darting around watching for threats but when the two Vulcans dropped down he jumped a little but watched surprised at his partner ran forward and displayed strength that her form didn't suggest. He grins tucking the bottle away and didnt want to be outdone but then again she had taken the stronger of the two who appeared but twirling the staff he darts forward taking advantage of the fact the younger one was looking at Dasher with shock and sliding in close he gives the staff a twirl and knocks the feet out from under the Vulcan.

As it hit the ground Kenshin twirls the staff over his head with both hands "Grow grow grow!" he shouts and the staff trembles and expands enough to become a pillar and Kenshin slams it down onto the chest of the Vulcan. And he returns her wink with a grin of his own kicking the staff to put it back onto his shoulder and eyeing the two Vulcans curiously, marking their form in his mind for later. After all he was always on the lookout for new creatures to make use of his powers and this was the first time he had ever seen one close enough to really identify them and nods after his examination is complete. “Rather strong” he praises with a grin, always finding a slight affinity for those with physical strength.

Carulea smiled at the displayed strenght of her partner and at his cheekyness, she liked how openly friendly he was towards her. “Rather strong." The red-head praised as he grinned at the blond mage. The girl blinked at this, the only people who had complimented the summoner on her strenght were her two rather crazy cousins. She never believed them though because naturally they only lied to her, not that she really cared. "Thanks, though it isn't physical strenght, just the bracelet's material.." Carulea explained as she pointed at her left arm, showing the bracelet, it wasn't meant to be a weapon and she didn't count it as that, however she had to wear it due to her magic resulting from in it. She looked at her two symbols and sighed, she had found a third one already but was incapable of activating it. "Let's keep searching." The girl commanded, more herself rather than the boy or their pets. Her feet moved, leading her and the others deeper into the forest, so far there weren't any more nuisances. However she was getting rather tired due to the rushing due to being late from earlier and the mission now. She sighed as she lied down under a rather small tree and patted a seat next to her for Kenshin. Yuhi layed down in Carulea's lap and out of impulse, fell asleep. "So, tell me a bit about yourself." The girl requested as she took a bottle of water out of her back pack, taking a few sips. When the boy explained she listened attentively with interest before grinning at him happilly and offering her bottle to him. "Have a drink."

Kenshin was more then a bit curious bout this one, her explanation made some sense to him, after while he was strong it was more his blood line, without his staff and drinks he wouldnt be much. As they walked he took the time to enjoy some of his other drinks and when she paused to rest under a tree he smiled happily when she offered him a spot. Stabbing his staff into the ground and then plops down next to her. Then when she asked about him he rubs the back of his head taking a second to best formulate an answer.

"Well, kinda new to this whole guild thing" he admits "I just loved a good fight and with my magic I'm pretty good at it, so thought meeting up with a guild would get me some money and a chance to have some fun" he explains smiling but when she offered him some water he shook his head holding a hand up to show he was good. "Not a big fan of water, that's why I brought these" he says pulling out a small flask of some of his non magical brew and bringing it to his lips took a large mouthful and sighed happily feeling the familiar good feeling of a good whiskey burning down his neck. "Gotta stay nice and drunk for my magic to work" he explains with a small laugh and putting the lid back on the drink to keep it fresh. Of course that was a small lie but he liked having an excuse to drink continuously

"Gotta stay nice and drunk for my magic to work." The boy said causing Carulea to raise an eyebrow at him. Drunk for magic? What? The girl was clearly confused at the boy's magic type however she decided to let it slide. She stood up and dusted herself, putting on her favourite black fedora hat and helping up her partner. "Come on, let's not waste anymore time." The blond mage said as she walked around the forest yet again, Yuhi was singing another verse of the same song as earlier "Half a pound of tuppenny rice,half a pound of treacle..." The plush lion sang happily as it sat on top of Carulea's head "....Pop goes the weasel." At the end of the verse Carulea heard rustles from the treetops and attempted to dodge whatever was coming from above her, but with no luck, the large monster came crashing down on top of her, knocking the air out of her lungs. Attempting to release herself, the female mage tried swinging her bracelet at the rather large Vulcan, however it dodged it causing a growl to escape her lips. "GET THE HELL OFF OF ME YOU CREEP!" She shouted, fury showing in her frosty eyes.

'Damage Dice' :

Kenshin's one eye opens in shock as suddenly they were attacked again and he was tempted to roll his eye, after all this was mostly good fun for him but all the fun stopped when he saw Dasher pinned under the beast his eye narrowed as he leaped up to his feet. The other took a swing at the tall man as he moved but Kenshin dodged it by leaning way back grabbing onto the fist he moves like an acrobat grabbing the arm and spinning back to throw himself at the tree they had just been using as a resting place and while upside down pulls a narrow necked bottle from his belt and takes a large mouthful but this time is careful not to swallow the sweet tasting booze and his eye locked onto the large beast pinning her down.

Focusing for a moment he gathers the two small gales under his feet and fires off the tree with enough force to tear a chunk out of the thick tree and sending him sailing towards the larger Vulcan. Of course with only one eye distances were hard to judge so he slammed into it a bit sooner then expected, Kenshin's shoulder ramming into the beasts head and the two flying back. Then for the finishing touch Kenshin spits the liquid out as the fly into the beasts face, the liquid igniting and the creature roars in pain as its head was engulfed with flame. Then as the finishing touch Kenshin brings his legs in, one foot kicking off the beasts chest and the other kicking it right under the chin causing it to keep flying while Kenshin flipped in the air and landed on his feet, swaying slightly from the impact and dizzyiness he turns to face the other beast, unable to check on Dasher just yet.

Carulea stood up, running her fingers through her rather short blond hair and dusting herself. Thank god for her partner. Now it made sense though, the drunk magic stuff. What amazing physical strength, and the speed, though the boy did look slightly dizzy. Carulea took a few deep breaths before attempting to stand up, the attempt appeared to be a success since Yuhi helped her up. Carulea mouthed a thanks before looking around for her fedora.... and spotting it on the rather small Vulcan's head. Oh this baboon is going down. Carulea growled feraly, with a rather angry yet crazy look in her eyes before taking off the green symbol off of her bracelet and pressing it against the tree next to her before whispering "Oh demon of the Nature hear my call and help me defeat my foes and their flaws." At the exact moment that the last sound of the last word left her lips a beautiful dark-skinned half-human appeared next to the summoner. The pink-haired half-deer demon looked at it's master with a rather irritated look before it quickly changed at the sight of the wild-looking blond mage.  Her hair was messed up, her shirt was kind-of ripped and that rather angry look in the eyes told the Peridot demon that her master was furious. "Kill it." Carulea ordered her demon, causing it to nod and raise her arm towards the one vulcan. Vines came out of no-where, enveloping the monster, covering it from head to toe, until crushing noices were heard and blood came out from through the vines. The favoured  black fedora hat softly landed on the grass in front of the frost-eyed mage, causing the crazyness in her eyes to dissapear as she picked up.  Carulea smiled and kissed her hat, all maddness dissapearing from her eyes "Thank the gods." She whispered as she put her hat in her bag and turned towards Keshin happilly. "Did you see that, Johanna just crushed taht Vulcan to pieces!."

Kenshin watched Dasher but when she put on a display of her magic and his eye widened and he watched the pour creature get crushed and destroyed and then he slowly turns back looking at the creature he himself had ruthless killed in anger that his ally had been attacked. He blinked a few times trying to remember why he had chosen to so brutal a method of attacking it, usually able to control himself and keep himself from killing.

"Y-yeah" he says smiling a bit weakly and he walked over to his staff but rather then tugging it out the ground he rests his head on it a moment, muttering a small prayer under his breath, a silent request for forgiveness for what he had done. "But I'm impressed" he says honestly, content with his soft prayer and yanking his staff up not wanting to be caught off guard. "Ruddy things are sneaky for their size" he points out pulling out a fresh bottle of his Battle Brew, just in case.

"Y-yeah." the red-haired boy stuttered out, smiling weakly at Carulea. Johanna sighed at this, when it came to her master's fedora, the girl could destroy an entire army. Ryo had knit the fedora customly, just like all of the other clothes Carulea wore, however the fedora was something made out of a specific type of very expencive material found in few households, one of them being the Yami household, belonging to Ryo and Bakura. If the blond mage lost the hat, she was most likely going to get punished badly by the two albino twins and never forgive herself. Johanna looked at the boy, noticing him whispering a prayer, causing her to smile and do the same, since her master didn't care if something died when the fedora is involved.

Carulea growled as she looked down at her rather ripped clothes, they were custom made by Ryo for her. She sighed, the blond mage knew that the repairing of her clothes was coming out of her salary for this mission, so what if she ripped them in a way that she's comfortable with? At that thought the girl ripped her sleeves off, allowing her to move her arms around more,making her summoner bracelet visible,  then she ripped  the bottom of her shirt, showing off her well-toned stomach for a girl. She didn't mind the light july breeze so she also ripped her leather pants so they were short around her knees. Now this was different. The girl stretched a bit, seeing how linited her movements were, completely forgetting her mission partner was a boy. Johanna however, noticing this, chuckled, in this body her master didn't really have that many curves so she doubted that the skin would do anything to the boy.... though he did realize that Carulea was a girl on the momment that he saw her. The deer-demon grinned and leaned against the tree, this was going to be so much fun.

After concluding his prayer he sighs and turns back to her but then his eyes widen a bit as he got bit more eyeful of skin on Dasher then he had been expecting and his eye goes a bit wide and he rapidly looks away and starts a new prayer this one had the line of "Lead me not into temptation" a few times before kicking his staff to force it to spin so he could rest it on his shoulder.

The he realized he was in a bit of trouble, true to his nature he was always in some stage of drunkenness, which would lead to him being a bit more....outgoing but at a glance he could see the age difference and for a moment his mind wandered, not to a perverted fantasy but more on trial on his guild, under scrutiny and the words "Corruption of a minor" being through around and it caused his face to become pale and he looked at the bottle he could drink to keep his buzz going but shivering in fear slowly puts the bottle back into his belt. He also wished he had brought his cloak to give her after her currently clothing malfuntion. "Best not drop our guard now" he says actually hoping a fresh batch of vulcans might show up to give him something else to think about.

After finishing her stretch, the summoner ran a hand through her short blond hair, before taking a drink out of her water bottle. Looking at her partner she noticed him whispering something. Carulea blinked at the weird behaviour of her partner, was he all right? The blond mage walked towards the older male curiously, Yuhi was fluttering above Johanna's head, also looking at the male but with a rather mischievous and knowing look. Carulea grabbed the boy by the arm, looking around his body for injuries. He seemed fine like this, but his face was kind of pale. "Are you hurt anywhere?" The girl asked as she looked at him straight in the eyes, waiting to see if he'll lie. She took another step forward towards the green-eyed mage, not expecting to be tripped by something, and fall on top of her partner. Johanna chuckled at the scene before her, looking down at the plant between the two wizard's feet, those two were rather red-faced at this point. Both mages were on the ground, rather red faced, faces inches away from one another, eyes locked, breathing hitched. Yuhi gave the deer demon a knowing look, both the plush lion and demon had this rather sadistic nature to put Carulea in strongly amusing situations. Though naturally the situations weren't romantic at all, this was the one of the ones both Johanna and Yuhi have enjoyed the most. Ah emotional turmoil. Carulea's blue eyes widened at the situation, she and her partner were at. Oh boy.

Kenshin was starting to get himself under control, he reached to pinch his arm to try and shock himself out of his problems, his mind focused anything else but when she grabbed his arm with the look of concern and due to his height look down she was adorable and his pale skin of fear took on a red tone as the blush beat it but the last nail in the coffin was when she fell on him. Falling wasnt an issue, his fighting style meant he did that near constantly so it was second nature to brace himself but feeling the weight on his chest and being his face being so close to hers his mind tried to wander.

You know we could, NO

But maybe she'd NO

But what if? NOOOOOOOO

An inner battle waged on inside Kenshin's head, the thoughts of just leaning forward a bit but then the other nightmare of being locked up for the crime it would be and the two smashed around in his head as he tried to think clearly. "You ok?" he asks "It looked like the Vulcan might of hurt you" he says and then tries to figure out a way to get her off him, but with growing horror realized there was nowhere he could put his hands on her that didnt make it look like he was trying to make a move on her.

"You ok?" The man asked as Carulea could feel his breath on her lips, it smelled lightly like alchohol, but she didn't mind. She wasn't used to being so close to a man before. The look in his eyes caused her to blink at him, was he ok? He looked like he was having an inner war with himself. Once again, Dasher's innoscence took over and she leaned it, not enough for any chemistry to happen, but enough for her to get a even clearer look of his emerald green eyes."It looked like the Vulcan might of hurt you." The boy continued his question causing Carulea to blink. "I believe I have a few injuries around my chest." The girl answered, still toughtful, forgetting the situation she was in. Johanna smirked at this and whispered something into Yuhi's ear before her time was up, and she teleported back inside the symbol. The plush Lion chuckled as it stared at the two humans in front of her. "Yep, only on the chest and stomach." the girl concluded with a smile as she looked down at the boy below her, suddenly remembering their position. The blond female suddenly felt bad for pinning the red-haired mage to the ground, it probably caused him an inconvinience. "Sorry, I don't mean to do this to you." She said, her look showing that she meant their possition. Carulea attempted to push herself up from the man's body by moving her hand somewhere that wasn't Kenshin, however after looking around she realized that the only way they were getting untangled from eachother was by touching. Her eyes then moved to the man underneath her, noticing that he had come to the same conclusion. "Erm....what now?" the girl whispered, noticing that they were closer to eachother then before, their lips were centimeters apart, and that caused blood to rush to the mage's cheeks.

Kenshin sank his teeth into his bottom lip when she explained where she was hurt and looked up at the tree tops "I...I see" he mutters in response as his inner voice tried to coax him again. When she got closer it would of been so easy, just tilt his head forward a bit and it would of been an accident, he could steal a ki-. That line of logic was not helping him in the slightest and he quickly shut it down. But of course his mind wandered and he could feel it was getting a bit harder to resist it.

Her lips look soft. Not helping

You DID just save her. Doesnt work that way

While fighting with himself he realized that she asked a question and he sighs "I got it" he says putting his hands on her hips, part of him regretting it but the other part of him cheering like a sports fan that he was touching her. He slowly sits up pushing her backwards onto his lap but then stopped suddenly stops.

Oh yeah...we're a bit excited. When did this happen!? Bout the same time you thought how soft her lips looked. We gotta get it to go away, think of something! How about how cute she is? NO, old ladies! Think of old ladies damn you!

He was trying hard to figure out a way to get Dasher out of his lap without her discovering a certain issue men developed when they got a little too excited but his mind was struggling to figure something out and his look of panic was clear on his face as he sat there still as stone
