Fried takoyaki time(joint training, closed)

[Amaru]

The very first rays of light started to peak out from the sun and the night sky started to brighten from it's black and star filled self to hues of red and yellow as the morning started up. Amaru had already been up for a bit, taking advantage of the night to track down some easy prey for the morning meal. The tracking began early before the sun had even arose so that Amaru could find some meat worthy of eating. Last night's hunt had spoiled due to the rain so it wasn't worth eating anymore. Sad given that it was a good hunt and he was only able to enjoy half of it before the weather had taken it from him.

This morning he had come across a pack of gazelle near the water's edge, the pack had many in it that he could chose from. There were the young that were easily slower than the rest of the adults and were quickly taken from them by a simple grab. While the meat from the young was tender and juicy it would take more than one to quench his hunger and he didn't want to risk getting only half a meal on something like this. The old, that seemed to trail behind the group and needed to rest more often than the rest of the group. Easy to hunt, and had plenty of meat, however the taste lacked in quality, most of it felt off and stringy and that's if he captured a healthy one.

No he didn't want either of those two they weren't his target. Then came the rest of the pack , they were healthy fit and all around normal. In terms of meat they would be fine to hunt and eat. The taste was there and so was the quality of the meat. All around they would be fine, if not for the fact that Amaru had set his sights on something more appetizing. The Alpha male, it was mating season for these Gazelle so the alpha male was up and about. Amaru licked his lips thinking of how delicious it would be to eat him. Alpha males usually had great meat on them due to them having to be stronger.

While they gathered around what looked like a lake Amaru made his way towards them hidden in the tall grass. Slowly creeping his way towards the Gazelle, each step being light as not to warn them of his approach. In a sudden and quick lung from the grass Amaru went right for the throat of the Gazelle sinking his teeth into the animal's neck and crushing it's wind pipe instantly. Letting out a low growl the rest of the Gazelle looked over to see that their alpha was dead and Amaru was holding it's body in his mouth. The rest started to run off as Amaru let the animal bleed out in his mouth. Drips of blood slowly going into the lake.

[Ippin]

It was quiet. This particular day was the same as the rest of them with the disappearance of the Pack. Taken in by Umaroth, and only to be abandoned in the lake, Ippin carried on with her life as she did in the past. The humans had struck her previous land, seeking to take their revenge on the girl resulted from her escape. Violent creatures as they ever were, but so was most of the world around her. Feeding on the weeds that grew beneath the surface of the water, and the critters that lingered close to the watering hole, the Beastclan member wallowed in the vast darkness of the lake. Time after time humans would come to venture here, but not so much as before. Ippin had chased most away with her most recent attack on the nearby human camp. Not as successful as she would have liked it to have been, but it delivered a clear message that Ippin did not want to be disturbed. This was her home now, and those that did not respect it were dealt with extreme prejudice. This went for all manner of life that came to wander around her watering hole.

Thunderous footsteps trampled the ground above. Ringing around as they stirred about, the girl could hear the aftershocks caused by the numerous hooves that ran amok near the edge of the water. Ippin didn't care for much of them as she went up only when she was hungry, or when she felt something threatened her area. It was normal for other animals to come and drink from her lake, but when stirred as such as now, then something was going on. This wasn't normal from what Ippin came to expect as the many of the hooves of the beasts above slowly faded away in the distance. Something was up alright. Was there something out there that wished to seek control over the territory, or possibly desired to feed on something? Either way, the amount of noise and activity would spread across the other areas, leaving the Cecaelia little to feed on as fear gripped the other animals that often came to the lake to drink.

Popping out from beneath the calm waters, her eyes narrowed as the mucus membrane around them saw past the rush of running water from off her scalp. She was certain to remain quiet as her tentacles propelled her forward slowly. Being around water much of her life, the Cecaelia knew how to motion her body to keep from splashing about from frightening her prey. A useful skill of hers when moving about in the water, and wanting to sneak near land. What she saw was a hunter. A hunter cloaked in white hair. Too far to truly tell, but the closer she got, the more apparent it became. Definitely a beast of some sort, but one she hasn't seen before. White fur with another mammal clinging to it's fangs. With stains of red, Ippin knew what had happened, and for the reason of the stampeding runaways. This beast was hunting on her land; on her hunting grounds. An intruder was taking something that belonged to Ippin. Not only hunting on her grounds, but leaving a mess of things This can not be allowed.

The water rippled with small waves curving around the girl's approaching head. She had to wait until the beast wandered deeper into the water. For this was of most importance. Her appendages uncoiled themselves, slithering along the far sides of the feeding beast. Two on each side as a single tentacle crawled against the dirt beneath the water. Ippin drew closer, silently placing herself into position. With those few seconds, the single arm sprung from beneath the water forward towards the white furred creature. As it did so, it pretty much acted as a single for the others to make their move. The inner appendages whipped out, seeking out the legs for the creature looking to restrain. As they went to do so, those that were past them torn out from the water below seeking the beast's torso. If the white furred beast didn't leave it's meal behind, then it may be a close call to remove itself from the cage of appendages that were that of Ippin's limbs. And if caught, then the trouble wouldn't be escaping their grip, but to keep himself from being taken into the deeper areas of the lake. Ippin was looking to drown the creature.

[Amaru]

Something was wrong he felt it, there was something else in the water, however by the time Amaru noticed it it was too late. If he had just a few more seconds he would had been able to react in time and move keeping his prey. However it was too late, he saw tentacles wrap around his legs followed by them wrapping around his body. He felt the pull of something trying to drag him underwater. Wanting to drown him and kill him. Amaru roared out in rage at this, the fact that someone wanted to do this to him, to the hunter that he was. A trap was sent and it seemed that he was caught, but he wasn't going to let himself be dragged down like a wild animal.

With his arms free Amaru struck back hard and fast. Using his claws he dug them hard into the fleshy tendrils drawing blood. Given that whatever was holding onto him was trying to drag him under he doubted that it would be able to see and dodge the attack that Amaru had planned for as the first step in getting away from this being. The next step would be digging his feet into the dirt using the claws on his feet to help anchor himself against the ground. Using his footing he was able to push back against the force of it pulling him to the lake.

His prey had been dropped into the lake, the blood now pooling into the lake changing the crystal clear water into a deep muddy red. Under the waves he could finally see what was dragging him under the water, or at least attempting to drag him there. It was another beast clan, one that specialized in underwater combat. With the color of the blood dying the water he couldn't tell what color it was he could simply see that it was an octopus. Not only that this particular one was a female, he didn't know exactly why he was being dragged in, but this wouldn't stand.

This had been the very first beast clan he had met outside of the few he original met when he first awoke. It had been very strange given that he assumed that all beast clan were like him. The kind that were based off of mammals and predators of those mammals. He had never seen a beast clan that wasn't a mammal and especially one that wasn't at least a true predator. He wondered slightly as to what this being's purpose was, what it wanted and why it was trying to keep him from his prey. Letting out a roar, towards the female beast clan he gazed down angrily at it.

[Ippin]

Ippin lashed her tongue about, snarling at the surge of pain that whipped out at her nerves along one of her arms. The little Cecaelia whipped back and forth as her injured limb retreated. This little notion from the intruder meant that it was dangerous. Dangerous to her and to her home. This creature sought to invade Ippin's, to take over her home. The humans came before to do the same thing, to take over her entire home and use it as they deem suited to them. The Beastclan girl fought before they could do such a thing to her and her home. The lake that they resided in was the home Umaroth and Nesr, and that of Lisa Ko. A home in which the Beastclan could live out their lives and do something more for themselves. However, because of what happened with the Umaroth, everything fell apart.

Everything fell apart when he had left them. Because of his departure, the humans once again pursued the land. Because of his departure, other beings began to step foot unto their homes. No longer was the area under their personal control as more and more foreign entities continued to pursue conquering the area. Ippin remained as the vanguard in this entire mess, waiting for those who left to return. Yet, despite all her patience and hope filled thinking, none of them ever resurfaced. Ippin was all alone in this ordeal of hers. This place was no longer a place for her to call a sanctuary any more.

Now this beast decided that it could waltz right in and linger about as if the land belonged to him. Not only that, but he hurt Ippin as well to add on to her list of "pleasantries." Amaru wasn't the first to come wandering into her area, nor was he the first to injure her to this extent. Nevertheless, regardless of the beast's roar, the appendages that took him by the legs whipped back, along with the single arm that remained safe from the beast's slashes, they worked together to shove the prey back onto land. A violent throw, though being so minimal as being forcibly shoved off of one's feet. Distance wasn't good for Ippin to have at this point, however, she had the advantage when it came to territory. Being as a sea-creature, it was obvious that the girl specialized in water tactics, as do most of her kind. Being on land made it a bit hectic for her to operate on, but didn't stop her from trying. Preferably, she would rather stick to the water where it is safe for her to be in.

After pushing back, the girl withdrew, keeping both eyes above the water's surface to maintain eye contact with Amaru. Beneath the ripples of movement, the injured limb was curled back to be nested within the caress of her body. While that wound would be tended to, Ippin kept herself at a range to maintain personal safety. For a few moments, she stared, examining the creature that donned white fur. Ippin watched carefully to see what the beast would do next as she had to carefully consider her options when dealing with a land dweller.

[Amaru]

He could taste her blood and fear as his claws sunk into her flesh and the immediate recoil that it had from the attack. It seemed that clawing the arm of this beast had worked for him. She had backed off and even pushed him away from where she was at in the water. For most this would be the time where they would back off and retreat from a situation, not wanting to deal with the possible attacks from the water once more and call it even. Not Amaru, Amaru didn't want to run away from this beastclan, no he wanted blood from her.



While the rational thinking would be for someone to simply take the fact that they were pushed out of the water as an invitation to leave and run back. Not wanting to fight against a creature that lived in the water and had a clear advantage by being in the water. Amaru took that as a perfect challenge to his strength and authority. If there was to be a beast clan in this area it would submit to him or be hunted by him. He was king of these plains no one else should dare to challenge his authority and if they did they would pay the price.



Walking back into the water his amber and blue eyes keeping an eye on the little bit of the head of the other beast clan that stuck it's head out of the water. Amaru didn't want to take any risky chances when it came to this one,given it had waited till he was in the water before to try and drag him under. However Amaru was going to flip that on her if he could he would be the one dragging and this time it wouldn't be dragging someone under water, he would be dragging her onto the land.



If he was able to get in reach of her one arm would extend outwards to grab at her and pull her up out of the water while the claws on his feet dug into the dirt as he started to walk backwards out of the water. It would end up being a tug of war contest, given that if he got a hand on her he wouldn't let go, digging his nails deep into what ever he grabbed of her making it harder to get away from him. Eventually if she was unable to get away he would toss her onto the land and the advantage that she had would be gone.

[Ippin]

Ippin nestled her wound from earlier. Seeing that the land dweller had given her a little gift, the Cecaelia was going to need to take things further. Just as she did with those of the humans that lingered around her territory, the White Tiger would be no different. Ippin was certain of that. The water was the girl's best advantage. That didn't take long at all to realize it based on her outward appearance, though adding on to her nature, it was a given. Not only that, but even being within the boundaries of the water made it ever more clear about her situation too. Nevertheless, it did not change what needed to happen. This Tiger was invading her territory, her new home. The beast clearly announced itself as a threat when it proceeded to kill on her premise. She had to protect what little remained of hers.

Ippin drowned the bit of scalp and eyes that remained surfaced. The oily slime that shined slowly dove downwards beneath the water's surface. The seeping red fluid from her wound diluted within the murky water below, even after being licked by the young Beastclan member. The waters substance made the wound sting a bit, though only after a few moments of retreating into the water did the sting turn into a numbing sensation. It was only then did the girl made her move. Her remaining tentacles immediately pushed the water current behind her in a synchronized motion forward through the water. But, not simply through the water, but propelling herself upwards. The single motion was made it so that the water erupted from in front of the Tiger as his footing placed him where he desired.

The water bursting forward, creating a thin layer of the natural element as the Cecaelia launched herself a centimeter into the air. What the Tiger would expect a firm grip, he would come to find it. However, rather than taking a grip of an arm, it would come to be an entire body flopping out towards him. A giant single muscle that would tangle both body and appendages around the damp white fur. Suction cups ripping small patches of hair from the body as they motioned around the arms and shoulders. Amaru's legs wouldn't be any lucky as what would Ippin's legs would find themselves coiling themselves around the base of the knee, entrapping the joint as they would attempt to be pulled inward. Altogether, it would as if her body was attempting to force the Tiger's body to roll into a ball, trapping him in a figure that kept his body completely engulfed by her body. In other words, her body would be completely covering his own as slowly trying to be crushed beneath the small force applied to him.

But the beast himself was moving wildly. Tossing and turning the girl's body, making it difficult to really position herself in the correct angle needed to do so. Even as her body was tossed over to bring her on land, Amaru would find it difficult to peel her away from him. "Ggguuueee" Ippin grunted heavily as nails dug into her flesh. Drips of magenta fluids streamed downwards from a single bicep, leaving the upper right corner of Ippin's body weaker. Yet, it only made her grip tighter around Amaru's right shoulder joint and arm, including those of his leg. Almost reflex, her body tightened around his.

"Sokatsui!" was announced. A ball of flame surged from beyond the tree line behind the struggling pair as six Shinigami emerged stormed out from the midst of bark and wood. Ippin's eyes widened as the ball of flame came towards them. The girl jerked the Tiger's body to the side, hoping to avoid the Hado spell. Hoping that she at least had enough force to lure the Beastclan Tiger out of its collusion pathway.

[Amaru]

As he grabbed the beast in the water it grabbed back. He growled and roared as he fought with it for control. It wanting to force him to submit into a position that would keep him trapped, him wanting to bring her onto land to force her out of her element and into his. This struggle wouldn't be done silently nor would it go unnoticed by those in the area. As it came like he expected, he was able to pull the beast clan woman up onto land, tho she was still trying to entangle herself around him. His teeth were ready to bite down once more on her flesh to rip apart a limb if need be to pull her off of his body.

Yet as he opened his own mouth he heard the sounds of someone screaming out towards him, he saw the fire ball and felt his body being pulled in one direction. He went with it using his strength to kick off the ground and avoid the fire ball that had tried to burn him and the female wrapped around him to a crisp. His rage now had a new target, those men dressed in black that were throwing out balls of fire to him. He had seen several of them before in his land, they didn't seem to hunt down any of his prey so he allowed them to exist here and there, but now attacking him was the last straw, they were no longer welcomed here.

His gaze went to the six men dressed in black that were now as far as he considered dead. “OFF” He bellowed out to the woman who at this point was still wrapped around him. While he couldn't understand the feeling of gratitude towards her for helping him from being hit, at the moment he didn't harbor as much rage towards her for the attempted murder that she had tried just moments ago. Complex emotions like that wasn't his forte just yet, but right now that didn't matter. He didn't want her to weigh him down as he attacked the men.

Still it was up to her to actually respond to him saying off to her, if she didn't he would adapt to her still clinging to his body and rush after the closest man. Covering the distance between the two of them in a matter of seconds. The last step before he would be in arms reach of the man Amaru pushed off of the ground with his back leg forcing him to propel forward and lunge at the man without warning. Amaru's body weight and possibly that of the other beastclan would come clashing into the man suddenly. His weight would be the least of the man's worries as Amaru's teeth would sink into the neck of the poor shingami drawing blood if not killing the man.

[Ippin]

Amaru managed to avoid the crisp flavoring of the Kido fire whistling towards them. Little did her motion to move the White Tiger from it's path helped, but at least she wasn't some charred Cecealia right now. For that she had to be grateful. But for those that used such a technique meant that "they" were among them now. The same group that ran into when taking vengeance upon the Humans in the near by village. It had been some time since she ventured out since that little attack. Some time since she stepped a tentacle onto dry land, at least as far as that was. During that time, Ippin struggled with the environment that she had placed herself in. Obviously, Ippin was a fish out of water. So, that meant that she was out of her element. At the same time, being that of a member of the Beastclan, the Cecealia was more mammal than that of any thing of her origin race. This itself gave her advantages.

One of them being revealed shortly when the Amaru charged forward. Ippin clung to the beast as his motions on land were much more fluid than her own. As the White Tiger pushed against his intended target, the Cecealia reached forward. Tendrils off to her sides sprung toward to press the Tiger's fangs deeper into the human's flesh by pressing their bodies together against a tree. The man cried out in agony as the same tendrils pulled the large mass of her body upwards. Their combined efforts made it so that the girl would elevate herself as her suction cups made it easier to cling to the tree. As for those other humans that remained, their movements were joined together with their union. Stern eyes glued to the immediate danger that the Tiger posed to the group as he drew first blood. For that reason, they charged him.

Those to left of the beast kept an eye on Ippin, trying to maintain some form of distance away as they were aware of the possible danger she was from above. She too understood the advantages of this position. Having done so before made it clear as to how she would maneuver herself accordingly. Her own ability to move around the trees, despite being that of an Oceanic sort of girl, was more than that of an amateur. A single arm clung to the tree bark as the Beastclan member swung herself. Normally it would have been her arms that would doing the work, being muscle and all. However, for Ippin's case she could use them as much due to her race's suction cups. They stick too easily. Furthermore, trying to get them to come off was a bit of a chore. That is the reason why Ippin applied her natural weight in order to be able to motion herself according to what was needed.

With her body weigh applied, Ippin's body was able to swing around the tree before being pulled off by the time she reached the full momentum, the end of her motion. When applied all together, the cups that kept her stuck to the tree easily peeled off from the wood. The entire magenta body flung itself around the tree, slamming itself into the pair of Shinigami that were drawing closer to Amaru's right side. A single Shinigami was caught within Ippin's jelly like mass whilst his partner scurried off to the side to avoid her. Instinctively, the man pushed and kicked as Ippin's gooey flesh collapsed over the man's body and face as her appendages coiled around his frame. Gasping for air, and wailing about, the man was choking, and wheezing from the lack of air. As for the second Shinigami, she rushed Ippin. But the girl was already on her before making the move to help the human male. With the pair squirming around, tossing and rolling over the other, the female Shinigami couldn't attack without the risk of impaling her friend. This allowed for the Cecealia to be granted further opportunity as their tumbling efforts drew closer to the woman.

Soon, a third would join the struggling pair as the first would come to suffocate.

[Amaru]

Amaru's teeth sunk in deeper into the man's neck than he originally thought. His eyes glanced over to see that the female that he had been fighting with just moments before was now wrapping her body around the shingami drawing him closer making it so that Amaru's teeth would penetrate deeper into the man's neck. The taste of blood filled his mouth and started to fuel his rage and anger, turning on his sense of hunting for this prey. With a snap of his jaws Amaru slammed his teeth shut ripping out a large chunk of the man's neck killing him instantly and making it so that the beast clan was no longer dealing with this one.

The man's body would fall with a loud thump against the ground a few sounds of his body gurgling out blood could be heard for a moment before the proud roar of a target killed would echo out from Amaru. As the man's body laid on the ground Amaru let out a loud and powerful roar echo out from his lungs. Both as a warning to those that still remand as well as a promise that this was his land and he wouldn't take kindly to those that decided to invade. He saw two of them right before him. They had a weapon in hand and seemed ready to strike him. Growling he waited for both men to swing their blades at him before he acted.

It was simple to see where the blades were aimed at, they both tried to strike and take out his arms, but that was in his favor. They were slower than him, weaker than him, lesser than him and that would be their downfall. His claws would go to grab the mens wrists holding them in place before they could actually swing their blade down to cause any sort of damage to Amaru. With both men detained he lifted them upwards using his strength letting out a laugh as he did so. Even as a hunter he had to enjoy these hunts and right now, this one was fun simply because it came to him and not the other way around.

The men wouldn't have much longer to live as Amaru brought his arms together in a fast motion slamming the bodies of the men together. While the initial blow wouldn't kill them Amaru would continue this over and over again. T he woods would have the sounds of the bodies slamming against one another echo out and this would continue until the only thing left of the men would be the bloody bodies, beaten and bruised. With them dead Amaru would drop them down and look over to see if he could spot where that beast clan female had run off to.

[Ippin]

"GGaaaaahhhhhhhuuuu" A sharp pain splashed across her side. Piercing, and fiercely jagging from side to side as she and her latest prey scuffled for a bit on the floor. Bit by bit the body within her grasp grew tired and weary. Not for long until it was silenced in the oily flesh that built her body, smothered by the Beastclan woman. She turned her head to face from where the pain shot at her attention. The pair of beady eyes looked to the side to see the cause of her duress. A long silver blade dug into her back side, imbedding itself further within her flesh and muscles. Out from the puncture wound streamed out lines of violet fluids that slithered down the blade's silver material to the guard. Ippin squealed in pain as the Shinigami pushed the blade further into the Cecealia's body.

The female Shinigami in tow with the Beatsclan remained stuck to the girl's suction cups. Trying to peel oneself away from a Squid in pain was very much like removing heavy duty duct-tape from bare skin; it was going to hurt like Hell. But rather than letting go, her muscles contracted and tightened around the human body. A tentacle coiled around the neck and chest of the struggling woman as the third human withdrew the blade, looking to skewer the Cecealia once more. But, rather than allowing a second stab to occur Ippin rolled, throwing her weight to the side to have the Shinigami exposed to the blade more than herself. With no clear means to attack the Beast girl, the Shinigami took the moments to peer around for a possible point of attack. Ippin wouldn't allow for one to be made.

Both of them tossed and turned as Ippin struggled to keep her distance from the human Shinigami. Towing the woman along with her own body, Ippin panted heavily as much dirt and soil began covering her oily skin. The sensation of sandpaper scrapping against her skin caused irritation to occur, scrapping bits and pieces of her exterior off. Pulling and pulling as much as she did with at least two of her tentacles tugging the Earth from behind her forward. As much as she moved, a trail of violet fluid became more apparent as it stained the dirt left behind her. Ippin wasn't a fighter, at least not on land. It wasn't her element per say as she was still adjusting herself to the dryness that it brought to her. Not necessarily a fish out of water, as breathing wasn't much of an issue. Though mainly the problem came with the lack of fluids to keep her body sustained. Which was the reason why she wanted to keep to the trees to avoid getting caught on the floor. Didn't turn out as planned.

All Ippin could do was utilize the female Shinigami as a shield while reclining back to a tree's stump. There, another issue would come up; Ippin couldn't climb. Too much body weight if she was going to have to haul the girl's body up with her in order to protect herself. That wasn't goign to be an solution as the wound caused too much pain for her to really ignore. Plus, she didn't have the physical strength to really pull it off easily. Ippin would struggle tugging two different body weights at the same time. All the girl could do was defend herself as going to the water was out of the question. The two Shinigami would end her before she even touched her Eden.

[Amaru]

With the ones near him dead he turned triumphantly towards where he saw the female beastclan run off to. Yet as he saw the blade being stabbed into the female he let out another roar towards the two shingami that weren't being tied up by the female. Anger rose in him as he saw this, she was still his prey for the moment and his sense of being a hunter wouldn't allow others to kill her before he could. They wouldn't steal his prey, he wouldn't let them. Amaru would end them before they would even have the chance to try again.

From where he was he pounced on one of the remaining shingami using his full weight and strength to crush them. His body would land heavily pushing down on the back of the shingami, as they fell face first to the ground they would find that a rock was waiting there for them. With the full force of Amaru's weight and strength the rock would split open the head of the shingami killing them instantly. That left one for him to deal with and he would deal with them after he got off of the freshly created corpse.

Both of Amaru's arms reached outwards to the shingami grabbing the them. With them grabbed Amaru roared as he started to pull on the arms of the shingami using his full strength. In the forest one could hear the sound of the flesh ripping and bones popping as Amaru decided to utterly rip the arms off of the shingami before using them bludgeon the shingami to death. “Poacher die!” He screamed out as he beat the last shingami that wasn't grabbed by Ippin to death. Now Ippin had the one she was using as a shield.

[Ippin]

An opening was made at the very last moment before the worst came to past. The Shinigami were taken back by the Tiger Beastclansmen as his attention was keen on the fleeing Cecaelia. Ippin made for certain that the Shinigami didn't have an opportunity to strike at her bare flesh as she pushed and pulled her captive. More than so, the Shinigami was trying to hack and slash at the tips of her tentacles to have the girl withdraw from the human's body. But to no avail, Ippin retained a strong grip by the suction of the cups along the underside of each tentacle. Thankfully she is part of the Beastclan as she held more advantages than that of the humans when it came to physical abilities.

With the removal of the Shinigami, the human in her grasp held little resistance to what came next for her. The coiling tentacles stuffed her mouth with oil and firm flesh, keeping the girl from wailing about with her spells and incantations. Much like from a scene of pure erotica, Ippin had her appendages every where that would keep the girl bound against her magenta colored skin. An arm coiled around the windpipe of the human just as another constricted the lungs. Both arms wrapped and restricted by the strands of what would have made up Ippin's hair, toggling them over the pairs head as the remainder of the sticky tentacles caressed the humans body tightly.

There was squealing at first. Muffles and panting as the human girl kicked about. But Ippin felt nothing about it all. It was these humans that attacked her home, and made all the others go away. The Naga that resided in these parts before along with the Insect and Bird vanished. All had vanished from the once lively lakeside that held so much life before. It was because of the humans that resided in this world that caused her new home to fall into utter darkness and solitude. This caused the Beastclan member to stir with hate and anger. The same ruse that fueled the girl's body to withdraw into itself. Bit by bit the human body began to collapse as the girl's own instincts took over. Soon, Ippin couldn't bring her body into itself any further. Each of her muscles were seized by the constructs that kept them parted from her chest; the Shinigami's body served as the small gap that kept her body from closing itself completely. The human reaper ceased to move.

Ippin's eyes widened once more away from the narrowing aspect that they held moments ago, taking in the sight of the White Tiger that stood before her. Although her body was irritated and bruised from the dry Earth, the girl was ready to resist whatever that the Tiger would attempt. Panting, Ippin's tentacles rumaged around the human's body in front of her, preparing to utilize it if it became necessary.

[Amaru]

Amaru looked at the female beast clan, she had proven herself to be somewhat useful as a fighter and a hunter. While they fought the shingami it seemed that they had an understanding that they wouldn't kill one another, however now that was different. What was their stance now? She had attacked him first when he had his prey near the watering hole that he was going to claim as his own. He hadn't wanted a fight, however it seemed that if need be he would fight with her again, after all this was his land, he was the hunter here and all others were either his prey or pack.

As he looked her over she seemed to be brused and dirtied from the fight, he wasn't exactly at his own prime, but he was better than her. If they fought it would be an easy win for him, a hunt he didn't want nor would care for. He wasn't interested in hunting the weak, they provided him no challenge, if he was going to hunt her it would be when she was strong and fit to fight, not weakened using a human body as a shield. At this stage if he wanted to she would be a weak and pointless hunt,he didn't want that.

He reached out his arm towards her pushing past the human body and grabbing her by her shoulder. His arm would stay outreached, his grasp firm, but not threatening towards her. He knew that he was better suited to fighting and moving on the solid ground. She wasn't as lucky and with all the damage that he had seen on her he wanted to offer some help getting back to the lake. This was his way of trying to see if she was worth trusting, if not, then he would be back to hunt her later on. After all if not friend, then she was prey.

[Ippin]

Wasn't really sure what to make of the situation. At first the Tiger had trespassed into her territory, staining the terrain with the filth that it brought with it. A carcass that would fill the air with death and a heavy odor that will continue to linger well beyond its eventual passing. That filth that Amaru brought into her land meant that less food will come by to drink from the watering hole that supplied much of the life in the surrounding area. It meant that her food wouldn't come by, leaving her to move onto land in order to scavenge for it now. Ippin would be left to starve. That was the sort of predicament that Amaru forcibly put her in. All the more reason for her to get rid of the intruder and that of his folly at the same time. Geez, it was a pain indeed to have to cleanse her living area.

However, before anything could be settled, more intruders came around to interfere. Humans in black cloaks came to attack her watering hole. Those Humans with the special abilities came around to finish what they had started long ago in ridding the pack that resided here. The Naga was gone along with the others, leaving only Ippin to defend the area. After her recent attack on the Human village, more and more Humans of their kind continued to arrive. That was to be expected after her little demonstration of her rampancy. Though she should've thought it over as being the only one in the area to defend it, it would be most tiresome. A single Beastclan member to fend off a horde of Humans with powers would become most taxing. But, being removed from her previous home and being brought here a question remained; where else would be able to go? That only solidified the idea that the lake became a real home for her. A place to protect until the others returned. IF they ever did.

This left the little Cecaelia to fend for herself all this time. It was hard. Like, really hard to do when she was still growing as well. Not really the best time to do so, but what other choice did she have at the time. Not being strong enough to really venture outwards, all she could do was handle herself until her time of growth arrived. She was still young, and very naive of what to do. Typical that she would screw things up here and there when it came to planning events in the long run. Even more so when having to think of the results that they might produce, negatively at least. Like very much in this case, it was biting her in the rump. And yeah, it kinda did already. Which was why she had to fight them in order to maintain the peace of her home. That was her reason for at least allowing the Tiger to left alone until the Humans were dealt with.

But, quite frankly, she didn't expect the other mammal to really help out. Seeing that he was also an intruder, that he had no reason to stay behind to fight. Maybe he was just as dumb as he looked. Or probably looking to take the area for himself? Ipping couldn't really put her tentacle on it to be honest. What she knew that she had to keep an eye on him. Bit of a mistake on her part when she was still dealing with the Black cloaked Humans on land. Not the best element for her to deal with them as the more exposure to the land she was, the harder it became to move around. Her skin would become sensitive over time, and cause a lot of irritation and pain. Soon, all that irritation and rubbing would come to bleeding. For that reason, when the fighting came to an end, she was still a bit skeptical on giving him her tentacle.

Yeah, he could have just bleed her right then and there. If that were the case, then she would be screwed... but not before giving a few kicks and licks his way. Amaru wouldn't be coming out of this unscathed. So, what kept him from doing so? She wondered though cautious. Her tentacle slid across the dry land, nearing his arm. Ippin took her time to see any possible chance of a sudden reaction from the Beastclan member. It was instinct really, that a cornered animal wouldn't be too fond of having to place its life onto the protection of another. Especially when having been alone for a long while. Pack activities weren't something that she wasn't use to just yet, so trusting became something more of a trial for her. Being taken from her home and displayed for some freak by the Humans, trust was hard to come by. At the same time, there were a few Humans who had helped her too. So, she was a loss here.

Slowly but surely, the tip of her sullied flesh will reach the talons of the beast. Oil and dirt rubbing against the furry surface of the Tiger as it coiled around the forearm for a grip. A single arm for the time being until any signs of hostilities would be nulled. She was watching carefully for subtle movements. Then again, another limb drawing upwards, taking its place around Amaru's hip bone. The child like figure would easily be slung around as she found a momentary grip to be easily plopped off into the water. All she wanted more was to removed the dirty and grime from her body. To cleanse the impurities of the Earth in the cool vastness of the water. There she would lather and rinse with the reoccurring oils that her body produced as the Earth element washed away in the swaying waves of her motions in the lake. Damn, it was a lot better than before.

Now, it was the perfect time to discuss what the Hell just happened, and what possibilities of compensation that the Tiger would have for bringing a turn off in her hunting to her home.

[Amaru]

The time it took for the female to wrap around his body was long, however he waited and said nothing. He knew that trust was a hard thing to come across, especially if just moments before they fought the humans in black clothing they had been fighting one another dealing damage that would last for a while. If that fighting had gone on Amaru was sure that he would have either killed the girl or force her from the watering hole entirely. Either would have been fine for him, as he was claiming this land for his own, for his own pack that he would make.

When the female finally went into the water he joined her, not to help, but to clean off his own fur. While he had been fighting dirt and oil and gotten on his silk white fur staining it making it dirty and coarse. While the female hadn't trusted him right off the bat he trusted that at the moment she would be too busy cleaning her own body that she wouldn't attack him here and now. Each motion of the water helped wash away the grim on his skin, and for now the meat that he had obtained was still on land, not as fresh as how he liked it, but still good enough to eat.

The water was refreshing however there was something else that was more pressing. Hunger was setting in as he pulled himself up out of the lake. It was time to eat and eat he wanted to do. The tree lines nearby would work as he walked over to grab branches and pull them down to use for timber to cook the raw meat of the deer. It would take a bit of time before he was able to gather enough and make his way back to near the lake to start up the fire to cook the meat.

Using his claws he would start to claw out chunks of meat from the deer, placing them on wooden stakes to cook the meat. The fire would be near the lake, enough so that she could be in the water and still feel the warmth of the flames. As the meat cooked he would pat the ground near him to tell her to sit, or sit nearby so that they could share the meat that he was cooking for the two of them. The first bits of cooked meat would be ready soon. While the growls of his stomach could be heard he would offer the first bits of meat to the girl.
