claimer: I own the characters Zion, Iori, Stan, and Nushi. The land of Lien was created by me.
Fox of red fire: Well hello, Here goes my second chapter to this, isn't it exciting?! (not even chrickets chirp) don't everyone cheer at once!
Zion wakes up the next morning. He sits up stretching, he looks around and notices it's morning. 'Crap! I fell asleep?! I was going to plan an escape...' a guard passes by. "hey! moron! how do I use the points I have?"
The guard stops and looks at him. "Didn't Stan tell you?"
Zion shakes his head. "All he did was kick my ass, and called it good." then mumbles. "Stan, that asshole..."
The guard sighs. "you'll find paper in there, along with pens, right down what your ordering, and put it in this slot here" he points to a box attached to the side of his cage. "then you close the lid, when a guard notices it's closed, he'll check it and take your order to Stan, and Stan will see to it your order is placed."
Zion thinks for a second. "interesting..." he looks around for the paper, he grabs it and writes down "extra meal a day", Zion looks at the guard. "If i put down extra meal a day, i'm ordering that option for a second meal day worth 400 points, right?"
the guard nods.
Zion thinks for a second. "is that for only one day... or..."
the guard sighs "Stan is too generous, yes, it's permanent, you'll have two meals a day for as long as your here. but mind you, you can only get up to 3 meals a day."
Zion nods. "Alright, I order that then" he puts the paper in the box and closes it.
The guard takes the paper from the box. "you could've just given it to me."
Zion narrows his eyes at him. "you told me to put it in there"
The guard smiles. "I get it, your trying to behave for more points"
Zion's eyes go wide. "no way!"
the guard shakes his head. "suuuuure" he walks off.
a man in white walks in, he is pushing a cart. the man stops by a cage. "le food, is served." the man seems to have a French accent. the man grabs a plate of food off the cart and hands it to the youkai in the cage. the man pushes the cart along, handing food to each youkai. when he gets to the Youkai next to Zion. "Ah, you must be the Neko who ordered this meal special, how lucky you are." the man hands the youkai next to Zion a plate of food, Zion catches a glimpse of the plate, it's a fish dinner, really fancy looking. "why would they serve food like this to slaves?!'
The Neko looks at the man and smiles. "worth every point!"
the man moves along, to Zion's cage and hands him a plate of soup. the man looks in at Zion. "Vegetable soup, good for you."
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation. "I'm a kitsune."
The man sighs. "Nothing I can do about that." he continues.
Zion looks at the soup. "at least it's warm and looks healthy, not moldd or anything..." he sighs. "Better eat if i'm to win the fight that woman said she'd come..." Zion frowns in disgust, hates veggies, but he eats.
after finishing, Zion shudders at the taste. "yuck... i'm ordering a special meal next time, man thats horrid..."
after an hour, the man who served the food comes back through and collects the dishes. after he leaves again. a few guards come into the room.
one of the guards speak out loud. "alright, it's bathtime." the guards unlock the cages one by one. Zion's cage is unlocked, he crawls out and stands up. 'hmm, bathtime, eh? possibly a way out...' The guard points towards the end of the hall. the guard says out loud. "New slaves, just follow the older ones, they know what to do." the slaves all walk down to the end of the hall, theres a blue door, they open it and go in, when Zion sees inside, there's a huge spring in there. Zion looks around, no other doors in there, but in the hall, theres a few other doors, which way is out...? he is suddenly pushed by a guard into the spring room.
the guard stands at the doorway, theres a few other guards in there too. one of the guards speak up. "You have 2 hours to yourselves in here, bathe, talk, free time, you are not allowed to leave." The guard sits down in a chair and closes the blue door, he is seated directly beside it.
Zion walks over to the spring, he puts his hand in the water. 'wow, surprisingly warm, clean too, they do take care of the slaves here. ah, might as well get cleaned up, maybe the warm water will help my sore stomach...' seeing as his gut is sore from the punch the man gave him yesterday... Zion takes his shirt off, then his hakamas, being naked, he wraps his tail around him, then slips into the water to relax. As he relaxes, he looks around to notice, no females in here. 'They must keep them seperate, for good reasons I suppose.' He closes his eyes, he starts thinking about an escape route. When an excited voice breaks his thoughts.
"Hi!" the voice is kind of loud, but it seems happy, Zion senses the owner fo the voice is about 5 feet from him, and he believes the owner of the voice is talking to him.
"What is it?" Zion askes without opening his eyes. Zion sniffs at the air, maybe getting a scent would identify what he is. smells like a wolf.
"Whats your name?" the excited voice asks.
Zion opens his eyes and looks at him. he was right, a wolf-youkai. "... Zion"
"That's a cool name, I'm Sakeme(Sah-keh-mei)" he gets a tad closer, he puts his hand out, as in to shake it.
Zion looks at his hand, then closes his eyes again. "Very nice" he senses the wolf-youkai is excited. "do you have many friends? or just happy to make a new one or something...?" He sniffs again, the scent is different from most wolf-youkai he has encountered... Zion opens his eyes, then looks at the wolf again.
"um... well..." He seems embarassed.
"wait a second..." Zion remembers hearing one of the guards called "Lee" saying something... "Aren't youkai supposed to be weakened during the mating season?!" Zion looks at the wolf. "you're in...heat?"
The wolf nods.
Zion turns a little red. "you're interested in me?! woah, sorry, only kitsunes. besides i'm sure theres a nice female here somewhere."
the wolf smiles and scratches the back of his head. "yeeeah... but the only time i'd get alone with a female, is in the hotsprings, and females aren't even allowed in here, so I decided i'd ask the male that looked closest to a female."
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation. "you think I look like a girl?!"
The wolf smiles again. "Sorry, but it's true, you do"
Zion glares at him. "Oh thanks" he pouts.
The wolf's smile fades. "you sure... you won't mate with me?"
Zion turns red again. "s-sorry, but no thanks, you'll have to find the next male who looks closest to a female... other then me fo course..." he frowns 'I look like a girl?! argh!'
The wolf sighs. "maaaan..." he looks around, not moving from the spot he's in.
Zion closes his eyes again. 'Back to planning, I noticed other doors, where do they lead to...? how can I check them...? if I can get to stan's room... maybe there are floor plans in there... but where's Stan's room...? hmmm... maybe if I wait for the next bathtime, I can sneak behind a guard, I noticed there is only one guard in the hall during bathtime, while all the slaves go into the bath area, before I go in, I can sneak behind the guard, and follow him to the door and exit, if I find another person, perhaps wo is going to Stan's room, I can follow him there, then ransack it for the plans, I'll hide out there, i might also beable to find the spell that bastard used to seal me, and figure out how to remove it, with my speed back on my side, there's no way they can catch me, i'll be free... hmm... sounds like a good idea...' Zion feels a hand on his chest. Zion opens his eyes to see the wolf in front of him. "what is it Sakeme?"
The wolf looks at him anxiously. "There is no one else... i'm sorry."
Zion looks at him funny. "what are you-" he is cut off as the wolf presses his lips against Zion's, his eyes go wide. Zion tries pushing the wolf back, but for some reason, the wolf is stronger, the wolf pulls out of the kiss and then begins kissing Zion's neck, Zion gasps, his mouth open, the wolf doesn't hesitate, he kisses Zion on the lips again, with Zion's mouth open, the wolf's tongue invades Zion's mouth.
The guard looks over to see the wolf making out with the kit-youkai. "ah, we got love birds over there" he nudges his friend. then he catches a glimpse of Zion struggling against the wolf Sakeme. "wait a second..." he walks over. "alright Sakeme, off him..." he grabs the wolf by the arm and lifts him out of the water.
The wolf protests. "But...but! i thought the guards didn't mind sex in here!"
the guard shakes his head "No, we don't mind it, but sex is one thing, rape is another."
Zion shakily gets out of the water and grabs his stuff. He looks at Sakeme. "Sorry... truly, i'm flattered that you like me that way, but i'm a kit-youkai, i prefer other kit-youkai..." Zion starts to dry off, the wolf watching him, sensing the wolf's arousal, Zion quickens the pace, don't know how long the guards are willing to subdue him, Zion gets dressed quickly and sits by the wall, away from the water and other youkai. He looks up at a guard. "th...thank you..."
The guard looks down at him. "Wait a second, I know you."
Zion looks at him. "you... do?"
The guard grins. "yeah, i'm Lee! I was sent to subdue you the first day you arrived, remember?"
Zion looks at Lee, remember him. "yeah, now I do, sorry about that... I was Terrified, I was willing to knock anyone out of the way..."
Lee looks surprised. "you certainly didn't look scared, I mean you threatened us and everything, hardcore cold glare and all."
Zion frowns "My dad told me, if i'm terrified and another being was causing it, never allow that being to know you're scared of it, show it what your made of, I guess it's because if you show it your scared, it allows the being to manipulate you more."
Lee ponders this. "I guess that might be true."
Zion sees Sakeme in the water. "He's not going to get in trouble, is he?"
Lee looks down at Zion. "Do you want him to be?"
Zion shakes his head. "It's not his fault, he's in heat... and by what he says, i look most feminine here... tell me the truth, do i look more like a girl?"
Lee laughs nervously "I'm afraid so..."
Zion frowns "bah... tell me something, would you?"
Lee watches the youkai in the water, without looking at Zion "Sure"
Zion looks thoughtful. "If you hadn't stopped him, he surely would have raped me, but... everyone in the arena knows my power, why couldn't I stop Sakeme from kissing me and such?"
Lee sighs "Sakeme is quite a weak wolf... so weak he didn't require a seal, see you have so much power that we had to seal all of it away, since you have a seal, your as defensless as a baby, but Sakeme has his power still, what little of it he has, so which in turn means, he has more power then you."
Zion frowns "oh super, thanks, ya prick son of a bitch Stan!" his tone meddled with irritation. "If it weren't for the seal, i coulda thrown sakeme across the room!" Sakeme from the water waves at Zion.
Lee sighs. "Still, i'm sorry for Sakeme's actions, we keep the females in a different spring to avoid unneeded pregnancies, but still, i'm going to look into the breeds of kit-youkai, i've never seen a kitsune as feminine as you."
With much irritation in his tone. "Can we just drop that?!"
after a while, the guard announces that there is half an hour left to be in the springs, Sakeme left the spring, he got dressed and walked over to Zion.
Zion watches him carefully. Sakeme frowns some. "why are you only interested in other kit-youkai...?"
Zion sighs. "I'm sorry Sakeme, my bloodline is pure, i'm pure bred kit-youkai, nothing else, my dad told me to keep it that way."
Sakeme thinks for a second. "but if you mate with me, your bloodline wouldn't change."
Zion smiles nervously. "That is true, but my dad has always told me to never mate with anything other then a kit-youkai, I respect his wishes, i'm sorry Sakeme."
Lee looks at them both, then to Zion. "There wouldn't be any harm in it, i mean your both males. There is no shame in that, everyone has that need, sooner or later, just think of it this way Zion, if you two mated, you two wouldn't be the only couple who are both males. since only males are in here, many males pair up, so don't feel ashamed."
Zion looks uncertain. "I'm not sure..."
Lee looks at him again. "almost time to go."
Sakeme has so much hope in his eyes. "Please?"
Zion looks at him, thinks for a quick second. 'I heard that the only time they can mate, is in here, but the next time we come in here, I plan to make a quick exit... sooo... it owuldn't matter if i told him yes or no, to make him happy... for now.' He looks at Sakeme. "Ok, next bathtime, we mate."
Sakeme smiles big. "Yippie!" he jumps for joy.
Lee punches Zion lightly on the arm. "thats the spirit" about 10 minutes longer of waiting, and they all return to their cages. while returning, Zion notices a few females coming back from a their spring, a few of them are wearing pink female kimonos with red roses on them. but more then one are wearing the same thing. 'wonder what that is about...' he sits in his cage. he looks around for Lee, but he's not around. he has a 125 points, wonder if he can buy anything with them, he grabs the papers, he can use 25 points to order any meal he wants, like that neko got the fish dinner, he wouldn't mind something like that, so he writes down on a pieces o paper he wants roasted chicken. yum, meat, better then that veggie stuff, bleh!
In walks that same strong human. "alright listen up slaves, the customers will be here any moment, but I also have an announcement to make, we will start using uniforms here."
a few moans of disapprovement from the slaves.
the human raises his hand as in to quiet them. "I'm sorry, it has to be done, you all wear dirty clothing, you have to change your clothes, so we will be getting uniforms for you all, but this doesn't mean you can't wear your clothes, it just means you have something to change into while your clothes are being cleaned. we will deliver the uniforms when they arrive, now, here come the customers."
Zion hears them coming, he slinks back into the shadows, even though youkai demons can smell him there, humans can't, so they can't see him either. Zion waits, then here comes the man who fought him just yesterday.
the man smiles. "I'm back my kit, i prepared for your tactics this time, ready to-"
"HEY!" it's that woman! the one who wanted Zion after he fought the man, she's back too. "Who said you could have my fox?! he's mine! i challenge him!" She is wearing an all white kamishimo, her black hair freely behind her, it reaches the middle of her back, her eyes sapphire blue.
the man argues calmly. "I'm sorry miss... but It would appear that I had arrived first, he is mine to challenge."
The woman yells and screams at him. "you had your chance, you idiot! you screwed it up! So it's my turn! asshole!"
The man still calm. "I really must disagree ma'dam, with such an attitude like yours, I don't believe this young kitsune would be very happy with living with you."
The woman getting really pissed off now. "Who said, Jerk! He will be much happier with me! I have many toys he could play with, he'd be a fine pet at my house! what did you plan to do with him?! fuck him everyday?!"
The man still calm. "I do believe i'd treat him like a real person, he's only have to mate if he wished to do so, i'd please him in every way possible, and any object of fascination, every object he wanted, would be his, you'd just patronize him."
The woman turning red with anger. "With the way your dressed?! hah! you wouldn't beable to buy him clothes! i bet you don't even have a million dollars yet! he'd have anything he wanted, included a private airplane!"
The man smiles. "Young miss, i do believe private airplanes don't exist yet, please think before you speak."
The woman is infuriated. "So now your calling me stupid?! how dare-"
Zion interrupts. "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
the woman and the man look at him.
Zion shakes his head. "i'm sure both of you could take care of me, but your both forgetting one small detail."
The man and woman look at each other, then back to the kit-youkai.
Zion grins. "you don't have what it takes to defeat me."
The woman seems a tad puzzled.
a Guard comes over. "I see, we have a three way fight!"
The mand an woman look at the guard. "a... three way fight...?" they say in unison.
The guard nods. "We have to do a three way fight if two customers want one slave. the last one standing wins. however, if the slave wins the three way fight, he will get double the points, along with his cage being increased in size."
Zion shrugs. 'Like i'll need it, i'm out of this nightmare tomarrow. At least i'll have more space for sleeping tonight.' He sighs. 'Getting ahead of myself, what skills does this woman have...? she must be good to beable to challenge a Youkai. then there is a chance that they'll gang up on me... no, they won't, they'll make sure the other won't win...' Zion shakes his head.
The guard looks at all three of them. "right, let's go." they head to the arena. upon entering, the guard turns to the three of them. "All three of you have fought here before, so I shouldn't need to explain the rules, when one of you is unable to continue, the match will be stopped, the injured one will be removed, then the match will continue, is that clear?" the three of them nod. "Good, now, in with ye!" the guard opens the door, they enter, the door is locked behind them.
The man glares at the woman. the man swiftly goes after her, he swings a quick fist, the woman catches his fist, the woman kicks him hard in the gut, flips him to the ground, in the process, knocking his hat off, revealing a man with short black hair, dark brown eyes, and a scar running from the middle of his nose to the middle of his right cheek. the man flips on his stomach, and with his hands and feet spins o nthe ground, kicking the woman's feet out from under her, the man gets to his feet before the woman even hits the ground, the man swings his foot vertically down on the woman's gut making her hit the ground faster.
Zion blinks watching all of this. "maybe I shouldn't remind them of my existence..." suddenly the woman throws the man at Zion. He ducks. "woah!" the man crashes into the side of the arena wall. hearing many cheers from the crowd. he looks at the crowd, they're booing him, the crowd screaming at him to do something, get involved. Zion just shrugs. "I guess I better fight too." He turns to see the woman right there. Zion takes a step back, he didn't hear her at all! the woman slams her fist into his gut. "Argh!" Zion stumbles back, he clutches his gut. "ouuuuch! why did that hurt so much?!" he falls to one knee. 'I can hardly move!'
the woman grins. "you like my special graviton punch? my fist is made of pure steel, or should i say, the glove is, armor gloves, it has tiny little needles that inject poison, gives you a fever. here comes the next one!" she runs at him. suddenly the man comes up beside her and SLAM, he plows his fist into her face. she goes spiraling to the ground.
The man looks at Zion. "Maybe you should call a quits..."
Zion gets back to both feet. "no way"
the woman stands back up, rubbing her cheek. "that hurt..."
Zion runs at her, stopping 4 feet from her, he pulls a blade quickly and points it at her.
the man watches, wondering how the kit-youkai did this move the first time, suddenly a second Zion appears in the air behind the woman, then swings his foot to kick the woman into the blade, the woman grinned and ducked the kick! the Zion behind her disappears, the woman swiftly slid by Zion, she uses the same move Stan used to knock Zion out the first time, But Zion paid attention and ducked as well, then leaped at the woman, slamming his fist into her gut, without warning, Zion goes int oa frenzy, punching her extremely fast, he punches her for 5 seconds, hitting her 12 times per second, an overall of 60 times, before kicking her, making her fall backwards and slide across the floor 15 feet. Zion stands panting. 'tired...? I shouldn't be tired...'
The woman gets to her hands and knees, she coughs up blood, she gets back to her feet shakily. "What... was that...?" a white glow appears in her hand, suddenly a broad sword appears in her hand, the handle being black, the blade almost as big as Zion himself, she takes a few steps forward and says "Zan Ku SEN!" she slashes the sword, an energy blade comes out, hitting both Zion and the man, knocking the man over, Zion stands his ground, he looks where the energy hit him, a large gash across his chest, blood starts to pour out, he clutches the wound.
the woman frowns. "If you want to play rough, then I can be a rough mistress!" she starts walking towards Zion.
the blood flows freely over his hand, the blood covers his hand completely, it begins to harden in his hand, as a blade starts to form, the sword from his dream forms in his hand, he looks down at it, it's covered in blood too, he points the new blade towards the woman. "now" he holds the handle with both his hands at his right side, it's pointed behind him, the sharp edge facing down. Zion takes off at the woman.
The woman sees Zion coming after her, Zion frowning, but his eyes with the intent to kill. she's never seen any youkai like this, all she has time to do is take a step back as Zion reaches her.
Zion slashes the blood covered sword in a vertical line upwards on her, while telling her "Wrath of the blood fox!" as the blade slashes her, the woman doesn't feel just one blade hit her, she feels 5 different blades his her in unison, in different spots, she falls backwards, 5 gashes in her gut, she quickly passes out.
Zion turns to the man, he drops the sword and falls to one of his knees, he presses his hand to the side of his head. 'damnit! my vision is blurring! she poisoned me...' he stands back up and looks at the man. 'have to finish this quick... or i'm a slave for good...' "I won't go easy on you."
The man smiled at Zion. "I would certainly hope not." the man thinks to himself 'i figured out a way to stop his lightning' he grins. he looks at the wound on Zion's chest. 'maybe i can use that to my advantage...' he runs at Zion, fist drawn back, his fist glows blue.
Zion points his fist towards the man, red electricity running around it, suddenly, the electricity turns to more of a energy form. he says one simple word. "Railgun" a beam of his electricity in energy form blasts out from his fist.
the man's eyes go wide, he tries to dodge it, but it niks him in the side, he spirals to the floor, he manages to look up as the beam blasts right through the arena wall and nearly hits some audience members.
Zion stumbles at the loss of energy. 'damnit, that was supposed to end this! new plan...'
the man stares at the hole in the wall, horrified of what could've happened if that hit him head on...
Zion picks his sword back up. with his sword behind him again, he charges at the man, but this time, slashes his sword down on him, the man catches it, the man flings the sword outward, Zion lets it go as it goes 20 feet out behin Zion, as it keeps the man's attention, Zion slides beside the man and slams his heel into the man's gut, the man's eyes shoot open in pain, Zion goes to uppercut him, but the man grabs Zion's fist and slams his elbow into Zion's nose, making his nose bleed, then throws Zion, seeing as he's so light, Zion lands on his back.
Zion stands back up. 'things are getting darker...' he shakes his head, some blood dripping to the floor. the man runs at him, Zion leaps up and grabs the man's jacket. "ancient arts, lightning bolts of no mercy!" Zion starts pumping thousands of volts of electricity into the man's body. the man screams in pain as Zion ups the voltage, the man falls to his knees, then onto his stomach, on top of Zion. it takes Zion a few seconds, but he crawls out from under the guy, he crawls to the arena wall and leans against it.
the crowd is silent for a few seconds... then they go absolutely wild at the massive display of powers of the fighters.
A guard unlocks the door and walks in, he looks at Zion. "Ok, back to your cage."
Zion barely has the energy to look up at him and say. "Can't... move..." A few medics with stretchers come in for the man and woman. the guard shrugs. "you can move just fine, now get up!"
Zion tries getting up, he manages to get to his feet, he walks slowly, trying to keep his balance, he walks out of the door, the crowd cheering him, the winner, but as he leaves, his powers leave, his eyes go wide, his body feeling numb and cold, he hears someone talk to him, the voice is muffled, his senses all dulled "hey buddy, you ok?" Zion falls to his knees, then collapses. the last thing he heard before fainting was "Somebody help him!"
[Next morning]
Zion wakes up in a medical room. There's a female Neko checking on him, she spots him awake. "Well hello little guy, how are you feeling?"
Zion tries to sit up, but the nurse pushes him back down.
the Nurse shakes her head. "Please, rest, you are very ill, the woman gave you a serious fever, no fighting today for you"
Zion couldn't keep his eyes open, he fell asleep again, soon after that.
Zion woke up again, a day later, he looked around, no nurse, he climbed out of bed, he looked at his clothes, he's wearing a light white kimono, the belt was tied at the back, making a bow behind him on his waist. Zion walked silently to the door, luckily he felt fine now, not sure what they did, but he was feeling great. he looked up, the door nob too high, since his powers were gone, he couldn't jump high enough to reach it. Zion thought for a second, then looked around, to find a stool, he walked over, grabbed it and pulled it over to the door, he climbed up it, grabbed the nob and turned it, he pulled it open, jumped off the stool and walked out, closing the door behind him, he looked down both the halls, to find a few doors and a guard walked away from him, he started down the hall, he came to a turn, he looked down it, and saw a nurse heading his way. 'she must be going to the medic room to check on me! gotta hurry...' he looked around quickly to see an upside down bucket and a mop.
The nurse walked marrily by, talking to herself. "My patient has gotten much better, i'm sureto get a good reward for this!" pleased with herself.
Zion throws the bucket off him thinking 'good thing i'm small...' he continues down the hall and comes to a door, a double door, he pushes them open, the room is red, a desk with a black chair at it. a name plate on the desk catches his eye "Commander Stan" he grins. 'yes! i can find the blueprints and figure out how to get rid of this accursed seal!' Zion rushes to the desk, he pulls a drawer open and starts fumbling through the stuff, finding a few small books, one labeled "spells" he snatches it up, he shuts the drawer and sits in the chair, he opens the book, there is a table of contents... he reads them over. "summoning... elemental spells... invisibility, werewolf... seals, ah hah!" He turns to the page with the seals and starts reading. "to seal a demon, you must first draw the symbol into the floor, the symbol of sealing, if you draw the seal in a green color, it is a minor sealing, 25% of the demon's power will be sealed, blue for level 2 sealing, it seals 50% power, level 3 in red, for 100% sealing. you must also draw the symbol of sealing on the demon's body in the same color. to break a seal..." Zion grins. "that's what i'm looking for!" he turns the page. "To break a seal you must have water mixed with the demon's blood and..." fingers appear at the top of the book as it's viciously pulled from Zion's hands. "huh?!" he looks up to see a man in a golden kamishimo, and a black katana sheathed at his side. "uh oh..." the man back hands Zion, making blood come from his mouth on the desk and floor. "OWW! you didn't have to hit me that hard!"
The man in golden clothes seems very angry. "you wish to break the seal?! you want to know how to break the seal?! the last ingredient is sperm from a lover! then you drink the potion. that's how to break it."
Zion glares at him. "think I believe you? you think i'm stupid? if you were just going to tell me, then why don't you let me see the book, if it truly is that, the let me see for my self."
The man growls. "GUARDS! get this brat to the springs! out of my sight!"
Zion frowns "HAH! i knew it, that ain't the real ingredient! you lying piece of-" the man back hands him again, more blood, Zion spits it on the man's pants.
The man becomes infuriated. "Why you!" he pulls his hand to backhand Zion again, but his hand is caught from behind.
Stan stands behind the man in gold, Stan had caught the man's arm. "That is quite enough Nushi." He looks at Zion. "You should be in my medical office, what are you doing in here?"
Zion looks down. "I needed to know how to get rid of the seal..."
Stan seems disappointed. "I wouldn't have sealed you, if i didn't think i had to." he let's Nushi's arm go. "If i catch you harming one of them again, i'll show you why I'm a higher ranking officer then you." talking to Zion again. "Come, let's get that blood taken care of, then bring you to the spring to get cleaned up, you smell of sweat from the fever." they head to the medical office, they go in, the nurse is in there bewildered, but an expression of relief came over her when she saw Zion enter.
Stan smiles at the nurse. "No need to worry, he was with me, i was showing him some neat books in my office."
Zion is stunned, Stan caught him trying to break the seal, so he could escape, but he was being so nice, what's the deal? "Stan...?"
Stan looks at Zion. "Yeah?"
Zion looks up at him. "why are you being so nice, you just caught me trying to break the seal..."
Stan looked thoughtful for a moment. "Well, you didn't damage anything, you didn't steal my book, you just wanted knowledge... now, lets get that mouth of yours checked." he picks Zion up and puts him on an examination table. the nurse comes over and checks his mouth. The nurse walks over to a table, he pulls a lever and water comes from a faucet, she grabs a small cup and fills it, she brings the water to Zion. "here, gurgle this water, swish it around and spit it out in the jug" she points to a jug, Stan picks him off the table and sets him down, Zion walks to the jug, and does as she said.
The nurse smiles. "good, nothing serious, just cut the inside of his cheek with his fang, it'll heal in no time."
Stan smiles too. "alright, off to the spring." Stan walks out, Zion follows. 'good, from here, he'll take me to the spring, so i'll know where to go from the spring to get to his office, that way, I can get that damn book.' Then he remembered something. 'shit! i told that wolf i'd mate! damnit!' they are getting closer to the spring. 'Shit! awww damnit... i told him i would...' he sighs. 'looks like i have to...' as they are about to enter the spring, Lee interferes.
Lee stands in Stan's way. "Sir! i must report a discovery!"
Stan looks at him in a funny way. "Continue"
Lee nods. "I did some looking into on the Kit-youkai tribe in the lands of Lien, turns out that the males of the tribe can bare children."
Stan looks at him funny still. "explain"
Lee sighs. "The kit-youkai tribe in the lands of Lien developed a fail safe in their bodies, they evolved with it, they can produce children."
Stan still looking at him funny. "ok, but why are you telling me this?"
Lee is irritated now. "because you are escorting a kit-youkai that is from the lands of lien. he told a wolf-youkai he'd mate with him, to make him happy."
Stan looks at Zion. "were you trying to get pregnant?"
Zion looks at them both. "what?! you mean me?! I can't get pregnant, are you nuts?"
Lee looks at Stan. "He can, i did the research."
Zion protests. "I most certainly can not! My father would have told me!"
Lee looks at him. "Maybe your father was waiting until your first heat, to tell you?"
Zion blinks and looks down. "maybe..."
Lee looks back to Stan. "it all fits together, a male kit-youkai through life is very feminine, because if they don't end up having a male mate with a female, instead male to male, they can still be impregnated, but after a male mates with a female, thats when they become muscular, more muscles build on, but if a male is mated by a male, they stay feminine."
stan looks down at Zion. "I see, it does work, the boy is quite feminine... but he was going to mate today?"
Zion looks up. "I didn't know I could be impregnated!"
Stan smiles. "it's ok, you'll just have to call it off, and we'll need to take extra precations to avoid any incidents."
Lee stares at Stan. "like what?"
Stan looks at Lee. "We'll have to have him clean up in the female spring area, when he enters heat, we'll take him to a private spring area, so he doesn't end up impregnating one of the females, when he's in heat, he'll have to wear one of the pink kimonos for extra safety."
Zion turns red "with the females?! pink kimono?! what?! why?!"
Stan looks back at Zion. "You'll be i nthe female spring area, so that the males in heat don't impregnate you, and when you're in heat, you'll wear a special kimono telling the guards to keep an eye on you, because when your in heat, and a male is in heat, you won't say no to mating, that wya, the guard will know to keep you seperated at all times."
Lee heads for the male spring area. "i'll let sakeme know that he can't mate with you, and why he can't." he disappears inside.
Stan looks down at Zion. "Well, off to the female spring." he walks about 5 feet, across the hall, another door, he opens it to reveal another spring. "Come Zion, you need to wash."
Zion sighs and heads inside. A few girls come over.
one of the girls looks at Zion. "new girl?"
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation.
A second girl recognizes him. "Hey, aren't you that Zion? your a boy, why are you here?"
Zion mumbles.
Stan laughs. "now now, be nice, he's here because like you girls, he can become pregnant."
a few girls giggle.
Zion bares his fangs. "Shut up!"
Stan giggles some too. "ok girls, go wash up." Zion is upset. "don't listen to them..."
Zion growls. "you know how humiliating this is?! all because i can get knocked up! just super! this officially sucks!"
Stan frowns, concerned. "It's ok, you'll get used to it..."
a few tears slide down his cheeks. "I don't want to! I want to leave! I wanna go home... see my mom, my dad.." more tears are falling now.
Stan can't help himself, he holds Zion, cradles his head. "shhh... don't worry... i... i'm sorry... you're going to have to forget about them... but i'll help you anyway possible..."
Zion sniffles, clearing away the tears. "you know... I haven't seen them since the past 50 years... i miss them so much..."
stan frowns. "must terribly hard on you... wish I could help you..."
Zion frowns "there is a way..."
Stan "what is it?"
Zion looks up at him, his eyes glimmering. "let me go..."
Stan looks away. " I can't do that..."
Zion clenches his teeth for a second. "but... why? you run this place, you're the big cheese! why can't you...?"
Stan seems emotional. "I'm sorry... do you know how much your worth? you've earned me over 450,000 dollars just by two fights! just to challenge you, they need to pay 150,000! I'm making a fortune!"
Zion seems stunned, he gets away from Stan. "thats what it all comes down to! money! I was starting to look up to you! I can't believe this! I thought you were cool!" Zion stands up and turns away from Stan.
Stan seems hurt for a second. "money is not everything, it never has been, and never will be! it's just... my business has been in debt... and since i got you, everyone wants you, and since your breed is so rare, only 3 of you are available in the rest of the world! it's so expensive to fight you, and you haven't lost yet! you brought me out of debt and more! my mood has been so much better, I can't just let you leave... i'm sorry... if you were just some lowly neko-youkai or something, no problem, i'd make your wish come true... but you... no... you are a true rarity, a kit-youkai of the lands of Lien!"
none of this is making Zion feel any better, his fists are shaking. "you know how fast my dad would tear you apart...?"
Stan frowns at the thought, stan thinks to himself 'no doubt, if his son is this strong at such a young age... how powerful is his father?!' "please, i'm sorry, it's nothing personal..." he gets right up behind Zion. "forgive me... my business is depending on you..."
Zion turns a little, just enough for Stan to see his right eye. which is staring at him, death glare, cold and emotionless. he says with no emotion except hatred. "away... get away from me..." 'i'm getting out of here! if i can get back to the lands of Lien, my dad will surely get rid of this seal!'
Stan just stood there, looking at Zion and the glare Zion gave him. Stan, getting a backbone, put his foot down. "oh? what if i don't leave you alone?! I was being nice guy, but do you want nice guy to leave?! I am being generous!, as I am to everyone here! I am allowing you to bath in here, to avoid being raped and impregnated, i'm allowing you to take one of the silk kimono's the females use for extra precaution against rape, i looked the other way when I found you in my office, and you nearly killed your last two opponents! I negated all of the punishments! All I wanted in return were manners and kindness! but this is what i get?!
Zion growls and turns to him. "Don't try to make me look like the bad guy here! you are keeping me against my will here! you sealed my powers within my body! I wouldn't have to worry about being raped if you didn't seal me, and now the pains of not being with my family all because of YOU! you are a greedy bastard! keeping us here, to train us to be obedient, become slaves for you, and pets and sex toys for others! Don't forget Stan, you break many families apart when you kidnap a child from them, and just wait you son of a bitch, my brothers are going to find me and tear you apart! Everything here will be history! your life, your business, and your precious underground arena!
Stan has heard enough. "you don't know what it takes to run a business, half the kids i find in the forest are starved to death or dying! did you happen to know half the children are abondoned because of parents who irrationally mated, like what YOU WERE GOING TO DO!? And who are you to threaten me?! i'm your new master, so beg for forgiveness!" with that, he slapped Zion across the face. "Didn't know i'd punish?! only the ones who deserve it the most!" he punches Zion in the gut, Zion falls to one knee as Stan kicks him in the face, knocking him over backwards. "now get washed up, I have to teach you how to be a slave. i'll be waiting outside." with that, he walks out.
Zion whimpers as he gets up, he is hunched over, clutching his stomach, blood coming from his nose. A few girls come over to help him stand.
a girl helping him says "a...are you ok? we've never seen him do that before..."
Zion pulls his arm away. "l-let me go...! i'm fine..." Emotion running in his tone. he takes a step falls over from the pain.
The girls help him up again. one of them speaks. "We're really sorry we laughed at you..." a few other girls agree by saying "Yeah" aswell. "we know the troubles of being able to become pregnant... we shouldn't have... huh?!" Zion rested his head on her arm, he's crying. "We'll be ok... we're going to get out of here... some how, some day..." she sighs. "i'm sorry Zion, but we'd better get you washed up, we don't want Stan more mad at you..." Zion, with the help of the girls, walks over to the edge of the spring.
Zion looks at the girls. "thank you... it's good to know, there are friendly people here..." Zion takes the kimono off, making sure his private area is covered with his tail, and slips into the water, the warm water soothing the aches he just aquired.
One of the girls walks up next to Zion. "I don't mean to disrespect you or anything, but if we didn't know you were a boy, with the way you covered yourself... we wouldn't know the difference..."
Zion looks at her. "I know..." he sighs. "I know..." after a while, the girls all had to go back, Zion got dressed back in the kimono and went out to find Stan impatiently waiting. "Do what you want, but you will have to harm me knowing that you harm a defenseless child, who i hope you know would kick your ass all over this fucking arena if you didn't cowardly seal me." he spits on Stan's foot.
Stan looks at his foot. "you know, I was contemplating on giving you a break, your new, you need more time to get used to this, but i'm not so sure now."
Zion rolls his eyes. "yeah, i'm so sure, like i haven't heard that one before"
Stan grits his teeth. "you sure are turning into a pain in the ass!"
Zion screams at Stan "THEN LET ME GO!"
Stan is trying to keep his cool. "Do you want me to punish you?"
Zion looks at him. "You know, go ahead, you told me you need me to help your business, and by the way things are going now, i think i'll lose, on purpose! I think I just might! so I can watch your business go under in no time flat! i've got a better idea, i'm going to help it go under!"
Stan growls at Zion. "watch what you say boy!" he goes to slap Zion, but Zion catches his wrist. "wha?!"
Zion grins. "my brothers are close by, they can sense that my power is gone, they are lending me some, so, that tells me they are well on their way here, when they get here, they will kill you, unless of course, you take this seal off me now, and let me go, i'll put in a good word for you"
Stan shakes his head. "I see what your doing... your bluffing"
Zion laughs. "Bluffing? hah! we'll see who's bluffing when your drawing your last breath!"
Stan shakes his head and smiles. "No, i can sense it, there is no link set up between you and your brothers, they are no where near here, you are gathering energy in the pits of your stomach, to release into your body, and you use it before the seal can take it away, very impressive."
Zion frowns. "so you're a bit brighter then I thought, well, you still have a problem, i'm gathering energy, you've seen what I can do if i charge it long enough, so i leave you with 2 options, either let me go, or kill me."
Stan smiles at him more "But your forgetting dear little kit, there is mroe then one way to rid you of your energy"
Zion looks him slightly puzzled "huh?"
Stan just keeps smiling. "By mating you."
Zion looks horrified. "wh...what?!"
Stan doesn't stop smiling. "If I mate you, the energy your storing in your gut will release, to provide for the mating, then, when you become pregnant, any energy you try to store will be taken by the baby, so I suggest you release that energy you are storing, unless you want to be taken by me."
Zion sighs defeated, he lets the energy go. he bows his head.
Stan keeps smiling. "you should have just stayed nice to me, you wouldn't be having this problem right now, and now that you tried lying to me, i'm going to make it a bit worse, come to my office, I have much discipline to give you." he starts walking towards his office, Zion has no choice but to follow.
[hours later]
the Neko-youkai beside Zion's cage is not doing much of anything, when Zion is carried in, and placed into his cage, the cage is locked and the guard leaves. as Curious as the Neko is, he looks into Zion's cage. "you...you ok?" no response. "you ok?" the Neko's voice filled with Concern. Zion's voice, soft and hurt is heard
"no... i am not..." Zion doesn't move in his cage.
The Neko seems worried now. "What happened? you never came to the spring, we were looking for you, to play a few water games, like marco polo"
Zion shifts a bit. "AAAACK!" a crunch noise is heard. Zion whimpers loudly. "holy cow..."
the Neko gets closes, he is next to the wall of his cage that faces Zion's. "what did he do?!"
Zion is unresponsive for a bit. "He... broke my leg..."
the Neko seems to think for a second. "could you do me a favor?"
Zion looks at the Neko. "I guess so... as long as your happy..."
The Neko smiles. "can you lay right here?" he sticks his hand into Zion's cage and pats a spot in the Neko's reach.
Zion is questionable as to why, but doesn't think much of it and crawls painfully to that spot and lays there.
the Neko nods. "thank you, now sleep, I have a bad feeling that you'll be needing it, don't mind me" The Neko puts his hand on Zion's leg.
Zion is slightly startled by his hand, but doesn't care for long, sleep quickly takes him.
Fox of red fire: Well hello, Here goes my second chapter to this, isn't it exciting?! (not even chrickets chirp) don't everyone cheer at once!
Zion wakes up the next morning. He sits up stretching, he looks around and notices it's morning. 'Crap! I fell asleep?! I was going to plan an escape...' a guard passes by. "hey! moron! how do I use the points I have?"
The guard stops and looks at him. "Didn't Stan tell you?"
Zion shakes his head. "All he did was kick my ass, and called it good." then mumbles. "Stan, that asshole..."
The guard sighs. "you'll find paper in there, along with pens, right down what your ordering, and put it in this slot here" he points to a box attached to the side of his cage. "then you close the lid, when a guard notices it's closed, he'll check it and take your order to Stan, and Stan will see to it your order is placed."
Zion thinks for a second. "interesting..." he looks around for the paper, he grabs it and writes down "extra meal a day", Zion looks at the guard. "If i put down extra meal a day, i'm ordering that option for a second meal day worth 400 points, right?"
the guard nods.
Zion thinks for a second. "is that for only one day... or..."
the guard sighs "Stan is too generous, yes, it's permanent, you'll have two meals a day for as long as your here. but mind you, you can only get up to 3 meals a day."
Zion nods. "Alright, I order that then" he puts the paper in the box and closes it.
The guard takes the paper from the box. "you could've just given it to me."
Zion narrows his eyes at him. "you told me to put it in there"
The guard smiles. "I get it, your trying to behave for more points"
Zion's eyes go wide. "no way!"
the guard shakes his head. "suuuuure" he walks off.
a man in white walks in, he is pushing a cart. the man stops by a cage. "le food, is served." the man seems to have a French accent. the man grabs a plate of food off the cart and hands it to the youkai in the cage. the man pushes the cart along, handing food to each youkai. when he gets to the Youkai next to Zion. "Ah, you must be the Neko who ordered this meal special, how lucky you are." the man hands the youkai next to Zion a plate of food, Zion catches a glimpse of the plate, it's a fish dinner, really fancy looking. "why would they serve food like this to slaves?!'
The Neko looks at the man and smiles. "worth every point!"
the man moves along, to Zion's cage and hands him a plate of soup. the man looks in at Zion. "Vegetable soup, good for you."
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation. "I'm a kitsune."
The man sighs. "Nothing I can do about that." he continues.
Zion looks at the soup. "at least it's warm and looks healthy, not moldd or anything..." he sighs. "Better eat if i'm to win the fight that woman said she'd come..." Zion frowns in disgust, hates veggies, but he eats.
after finishing, Zion shudders at the taste. "yuck... i'm ordering a special meal next time, man thats horrid..."
after an hour, the man who served the food comes back through and collects the dishes. after he leaves again. a few guards come into the room.
one of the guards speak out loud. "alright, it's bathtime." the guards unlock the cages one by one. Zion's cage is unlocked, he crawls out and stands up. 'hmm, bathtime, eh? possibly a way out...' The guard points towards the end of the hall. the guard says out loud. "New slaves, just follow the older ones, they know what to do." the slaves all walk down to the end of the hall, theres a blue door, they open it and go in, when Zion sees inside, there's a huge spring in there. Zion looks around, no other doors in there, but in the hall, theres a few other doors, which way is out...? he is suddenly pushed by a guard into the spring room.
the guard stands at the doorway, theres a few other guards in there too. one of the guards speak up. "You have 2 hours to yourselves in here, bathe, talk, free time, you are not allowed to leave." The guard sits down in a chair and closes the blue door, he is seated directly beside it.
Zion walks over to the spring, he puts his hand in the water. 'wow, surprisingly warm, clean too, they do take care of the slaves here. ah, might as well get cleaned up, maybe the warm water will help my sore stomach...' seeing as his gut is sore from the punch the man gave him yesterday... Zion takes his shirt off, then his hakamas, being naked, he wraps his tail around him, then slips into the water to relax. As he relaxes, he looks around to notice, no females in here. 'They must keep them seperate, for good reasons I suppose.' He closes his eyes, he starts thinking about an escape route. When an excited voice breaks his thoughts.
"Hi!" the voice is kind of loud, but it seems happy, Zion senses the owner fo the voice is about 5 feet from him, and he believes the owner of the voice is talking to him.
"What is it?" Zion askes without opening his eyes. Zion sniffs at the air, maybe getting a scent would identify what he is. smells like a wolf.
"Whats your name?" the excited voice asks.
Zion opens his eyes and looks at him. he was right, a wolf-youkai. "... Zion"
"That's a cool name, I'm Sakeme(Sah-keh-mei)" he gets a tad closer, he puts his hand out, as in to shake it.
Zion looks at his hand, then closes his eyes again. "Very nice" he senses the wolf-youkai is excited. "do you have many friends? or just happy to make a new one or something...?" He sniffs again, the scent is different from most wolf-youkai he has encountered... Zion opens his eyes, then looks at the wolf again.
"um... well..." He seems embarassed.
"wait a second..." Zion remembers hearing one of the guards called "Lee" saying something... "Aren't youkai supposed to be weakened during the mating season?!" Zion looks at the wolf. "you're in...heat?"
The wolf nods.
Zion turns a little red. "you're interested in me?! woah, sorry, only kitsunes. besides i'm sure theres a nice female here somewhere."
the wolf smiles and scratches the back of his head. "yeeeah... but the only time i'd get alone with a female, is in the hotsprings, and females aren't even allowed in here, so I decided i'd ask the male that looked closest to a female."
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation. "you think I look like a girl?!"
The wolf smiles again. "Sorry, but it's true, you do"
Zion glares at him. "Oh thanks" he pouts.
The wolf's smile fades. "you sure... you won't mate with me?"
Zion turns red again. "s-sorry, but no thanks, you'll have to find the next male who looks closest to a female... other then me fo course..." he frowns 'I look like a girl?! argh!'
The wolf sighs. "maaaan..." he looks around, not moving from the spot he's in.
Zion closes his eyes again. 'Back to planning, I noticed other doors, where do they lead to...? how can I check them...? if I can get to stan's room... maybe there are floor plans in there... but where's Stan's room...? hmmm... maybe if I wait for the next bathtime, I can sneak behind a guard, I noticed there is only one guard in the hall during bathtime, while all the slaves go into the bath area, before I go in, I can sneak behind the guard, and follow him to the door and exit, if I find another person, perhaps wo is going to Stan's room, I can follow him there, then ransack it for the plans, I'll hide out there, i might also beable to find the spell that bastard used to seal me, and figure out how to remove it, with my speed back on my side, there's no way they can catch me, i'll be free... hmm... sounds like a good idea...' Zion feels a hand on his chest. Zion opens his eyes to see the wolf in front of him. "what is it Sakeme?"
The wolf looks at him anxiously. "There is no one else... i'm sorry."
Zion looks at him funny. "what are you-" he is cut off as the wolf presses his lips against Zion's, his eyes go wide. Zion tries pushing the wolf back, but for some reason, the wolf is stronger, the wolf pulls out of the kiss and then begins kissing Zion's neck, Zion gasps, his mouth open, the wolf doesn't hesitate, he kisses Zion on the lips again, with Zion's mouth open, the wolf's tongue invades Zion's mouth.
The guard looks over to see the wolf making out with the kit-youkai. "ah, we got love birds over there" he nudges his friend. then he catches a glimpse of Zion struggling against the wolf Sakeme. "wait a second..." he walks over. "alright Sakeme, off him..." he grabs the wolf by the arm and lifts him out of the water.
The wolf protests. "But...but! i thought the guards didn't mind sex in here!"
the guard shakes his head "No, we don't mind it, but sex is one thing, rape is another."
Zion shakily gets out of the water and grabs his stuff. He looks at Sakeme. "Sorry... truly, i'm flattered that you like me that way, but i'm a kit-youkai, i prefer other kit-youkai..." Zion starts to dry off, the wolf watching him, sensing the wolf's arousal, Zion quickens the pace, don't know how long the guards are willing to subdue him, Zion gets dressed quickly and sits by the wall, away from the water and other youkai. He looks up at a guard. "th...thank you..."
The guard looks down at him. "Wait a second, I know you."
Zion looks at him. "you... do?"
The guard grins. "yeah, i'm Lee! I was sent to subdue you the first day you arrived, remember?"
Zion looks at Lee, remember him. "yeah, now I do, sorry about that... I was Terrified, I was willing to knock anyone out of the way..."
Lee looks surprised. "you certainly didn't look scared, I mean you threatened us and everything, hardcore cold glare and all."
Zion frowns "My dad told me, if i'm terrified and another being was causing it, never allow that being to know you're scared of it, show it what your made of, I guess it's because if you show it your scared, it allows the being to manipulate you more."
Lee ponders this. "I guess that might be true."
Zion sees Sakeme in the water. "He's not going to get in trouble, is he?"
Lee looks down at Zion. "Do you want him to be?"
Zion shakes his head. "It's not his fault, he's in heat... and by what he says, i look most feminine here... tell me the truth, do i look more like a girl?"
Lee laughs nervously "I'm afraid so..."
Zion frowns "bah... tell me something, would you?"
Lee watches the youkai in the water, without looking at Zion "Sure"
Zion looks thoughtful. "If you hadn't stopped him, he surely would have raped me, but... everyone in the arena knows my power, why couldn't I stop Sakeme from kissing me and such?"
Lee sighs "Sakeme is quite a weak wolf... so weak he didn't require a seal, see you have so much power that we had to seal all of it away, since you have a seal, your as defensless as a baby, but Sakeme has his power still, what little of it he has, so which in turn means, he has more power then you."
Zion frowns "oh super, thanks, ya prick son of a bitch Stan!" his tone meddled with irritation. "If it weren't for the seal, i coulda thrown sakeme across the room!" Sakeme from the water waves at Zion.
Lee sighs. "Still, i'm sorry for Sakeme's actions, we keep the females in a different spring to avoid unneeded pregnancies, but still, i'm going to look into the breeds of kit-youkai, i've never seen a kitsune as feminine as you."
With much irritation in his tone. "Can we just drop that?!"
after a while, the guard announces that there is half an hour left to be in the springs, Sakeme left the spring, he got dressed and walked over to Zion.
Zion watches him carefully. Sakeme frowns some. "why are you only interested in other kit-youkai...?"
Zion sighs. "I'm sorry Sakeme, my bloodline is pure, i'm pure bred kit-youkai, nothing else, my dad told me to keep it that way."
Sakeme thinks for a second. "but if you mate with me, your bloodline wouldn't change."
Zion smiles nervously. "That is true, but my dad has always told me to never mate with anything other then a kit-youkai, I respect his wishes, i'm sorry Sakeme."
Lee looks at them both, then to Zion. "There wouldn't be any harm in it, i mean your both males. There is no shame in that, everyone has that need, sooner or later, just think of it this way Zion, if you two mated, you two wouldn't be the only couple who are both males. since only males are in here, many males pair up, so don't feel ashamed."
Zion looks uncertain. "I'm not sure..."
Lee looks at him again. "almost time to go."
Sakeme has so much hope in his eyes. "Please?"
Zion looks at him, thinks for a quick second. 'I heard that the only time they can mate, is in here, but the next time we come in here, I plan to make a quick exit... sooo... it owuldn't matter if i told him yes or no, to make him happy... for now.' He looks at Sakeme. "Ok, next bathtime, we mate."
Sakeme smiles big. "Yippie!" he jumps for joy.
Lee punches Zion lightly on the arm. "thats the spirit" about 10 minutes longer of waiting, and they all return to their cages. while returning, Zion notices a few females coming back from a their spring, a few of them are wearing pink female kimonos with red roses on them. but more then one are wearing the same thing. 'wonder what that is about...' he sits in his cage. he looks around for Lee, but he's not around. he has a 125 points, wonder if he can buy anything with them, he grabs the papers, he can use 25 points to order any meal he wants, like that neko got the fish dinner, he wouldn't mind something like that, so he writes down on a pieces o paper he wants roasted chicken. yum, meat, better then that veggie stuff, bleh!
In walks that same strong human. "alright listen up slaves, the customers will be here any moment, but I also have an announcement to make, we will start using uniforms here."
a few moans of disapprovement from the slaves.
the human raises his hand as in to quiet them. "I'm sorry, it has to be done, you all wear dirty clothing, you have to change your clothes, so we will be getting uniforms for you all, but this doesn't mean you can't wear your clothes, it just means you have something to change into while your clothes are being cleaned. we will deliver the uniforms when they arrive, now, here come the customers."
Zion hears them coming, he slinks back into the shadows, even though youkai demons can smell him there, humans can't, so they can't see him either. Zion waits, then here comes the man who fought him just yesterday.
the man smiles. "I'm back my kit, i prepared for your tactics this time, ready to-"
"HEY!" it's that woman! the one who wanted Zion after he fought the man, she's back too. "Who said you could have my fox?! he's mine! i challenge him!" She is wearing an all white kamishimo, her black hair freely behind her, it reaches the middle of her back, her eyes sapphire blue.
the man argues calmly. "I'm sorry miss... but It would appear that I had arrived first, he is mine to challenge."
The woman yells and screams at him. "you had your chance, you idiot! you screwed it up! So it's my turn! asshole!"
The man still calm. "I really must disagree ma'dam, with such an attitude like yours, I don't believe this young kitsune would be very happy with living with you."
The woman getting really pissed off now. "Who said, Jerk! He will be much happier with me! I have many toys he could play with, he'd be a fine pet at my house! what did you plan to do with him?! fuck him everyday?!"
The man still calm. "I do believe i'd treat him like a real person, he's only have to mate if he wished to do so, i'd please him in every way possible, and any object of fascination, every object he wanted, would be his, you'd just patronize him."
The woman turning red with anger. "With the way your dressed?! hah! you wouldn't beable to buy him clothes! i bet you don't even have a million dollars yet! he'd have anything he wanted, included a private airplane!"
The man smiles. "Young miss, i do believe private airplanes don't exist yet, please think before you speak."
The woman is infuriated. "So now your calling me stupid?! how dare-"
Zion interrupts. "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
the woman and the man look at him.
Zion shakes his head. "i'm sure both of you could take care of me, but your both forgetting one small detail."
The man and woman look at each other, then back to the kit-youkai.
Zion grins. "you don't have what it takes to defeat me."
The woman seems a tad puzzled.
a Guard comes over. "I see, we have a three way fight!"
The mand an woman look at the guard. "a... three way fight...?" they say in unison.
The guard nods. "We have to do a three way fight if two customers want one slave. the last one standing wins. however, if the slave wins the three way fight, he will get double the points, along with his cage being increased in size."
Zion shrugs. 'Like i'll need it, i'm out of this nightmare tomarrow. At least i'll have more space for sleeping tonight.' He sighs. 'Getting ahead of myself, what skills does this woman have...? she must be good to beable to challenge a Youkai. then there is a chance that they'll gang up on me... no, they won't, they'll make sure the other won't win...' Zion shakes his head.
The guard looks at all three of them. "right, let's go." they head to the arena. upon entering, the guard turns to the three of them. "All three of you have fought here before, so I shouldn't need to explain the rules, when one of you is unable to continue, the match will be stopped, the injured one will be removed, then the match will continue, is that clear?" the three of them nod. "Good, now, in with ye!" the guard opens the door, they enter, the door is locked behind them.
The man glares at the woman. the man swiftly goes after her, he swings a quick fist, the woman catches his fist, the woman kicks him hard in the gut, flips him to the ground, in the process, knocking his hat off, revealing a man with short black hair, dark brown eyes, and a scar running from the middle of his nose to the middle of his right cheek. the man flips on his stomach, and with his hands and feet spins o nthe ground, kicking the woman's feet out from under her, the man gets to his feet before the woman even hits the ground, the man swings his foot vertically down on the woman's gut making her hit the ground faster.
Zion blinks watching all of this. "maybe I shouldn't remind them of my existence..." suddenly the woman throws the man at Zion. He ducks. "woah!" the man crashes into the side of the arena wall. hearing many cheers from the crowd. he looks at the crowd, they're booing him, the crowd screaming at him to do something, get involved. Zion just shrugs. "I guess I better fight too." He turns to see the woman right there. Zion takes a step back, he didn't hear her at all! the woman slams her fist into his gut. "Argh!" Zion stumbles back, he clutches his gut. "ouuuuch! why did that hurt so much?!" he falls to one knee. 'I can hardly move!'
the woman grins. "you like my special graviton punch? my fist is made of pure steel, or should i say, the glove is, armor gloves, it has tiny little needles that inject poison, gives you a fever. here comes the next one!" she runs at him. suddenly the man comes up beside her and SLAM, he plows his fist into her face. she goes spiraling to the ground.
The man looks at Zion. "Maybe you should call a quits..."
Zion gets back to both feet. "no way"
the woman stands back up, rubbing her cheek. "that hurt..."
Zion runs at her, stopping 4 feet from her, he pulls a blade quickly and points it at her.
the man watches, wondering how the kit-youkai did this move the first time, suddenly a second Zion appears in the air behind the woman, then swings his foot to kick the woman into the blade, the woman grinned and ducked the kick! the Zion behind her disappears, the woman swiftly slid by Zion, she uses the same move Stan used to knock Zion out the first time, But Zion paid attention and ducked as well, then leaped at the woman, slamming his fist into her gut, without warning, Zion goes int oa frenzy, punching her extremely fast, he punches her for 5 seconds, hitting her 12 times per second, an overall of 60 times, before kicking her, making her fall backwards and slide across the floor 15 feet. Zion stands panting. 'tired...? I shouldn't be tired...'
The woman gets to her hands and knees, she coughs up blood, she gets back to her feet shakily. "What... was that...?" a white glow appears in her hand, suddenly a broad sword appears in her hand, the handle being black, the blade almost as big as Zion himself, she takes a few steps forward and says "Zan Ku SEN!" she slashes the sword, an energy blade comes out, hitting both Zion and the man, knocking the man over, Zion stands his ground, he looks where the energy hit him, a large gash across his chest, blood starts to pour out, he clutches the wound.
the woman frowns. "If you want to play rough, then I can be a rough mistress!" she starts walking towards Zion.
the blood flows freely over his hand, the blood covers his hand completely, it begins to harden in his hand, as a blade starts to form, the sword from his dream forms in his hand, he looks down at it, it's covered in blood too, he points the new blade towards the woman. "now" he holds the handle with both his hands at his right side, it's pointed behind him, the sharp edge facing down. Zion takes off at the woman.
The woman sees Zion coming after her, Zion frowning, but his eyes with the intent to kill. she's never seen any youkai like this, all she has time to do is take a step back as Zion reaches her.
Zion slashes the blood covered sword in a vertical line upwards on her, while telling her "Wrath of the blood fox!" as the blade slashes her, the woman doesn't feel just one blade hit her, she feels 5 different blades his her in unison, in different spots, she falls backwards, 5 gashes in her gut, she quickly passes out.
Zion turns to the man, he drops the sword and falls to one of his knees, he presses his hand to the side of his head. 'damnit! my vision is blurring! she poisoned me...' he stands back up and looks at the man. 'have to finish this quick... or i'm a slave for good...' "I won't go easy on you."
The man smiled at Zion. "I would certainly hope not." the man thinks to himself 'i figured out a way to stop his lightning' he grins. he looks at the wound on Zion's chest. 'maybe i can use that to my advantage...' he runs at Zion, fist drawn back, his fist glows blue.
Zion points his fist towards the man, red electricity running around it, suddenly, the electricity turns to more of a energy form. he says one simple word. "Railgun" a beam of his electricity in energy form blasts out from his fist.
the man's eyes go wide, he tries to dodge it, but it niks him in the side, he spirals to the floor, he manages to look up as the beam blasts right through the arena wall and nearly hits some audience members.
Zion stumbles at the loss of energy. 'damnit, that was supposed to end this! new plan...'
the man stares at the hole in the wall, horrified of what could've happened if that hit him head on...
Zion picks his sword back up. with his sword behind him again, he charges at the man, but this time, slashes his sword down on him, the man catches it, the man flings the sword outward, Zion lets it go as it goes 20 feet out behin Zion, as it keeps the man's attention, Zion slides beside the man and slams his heel into the man's gut, the man's eyes shoot open in pain, Zion goes to uppercut him, but the man grabs Zion's fist and slams his elbow into Zion's nose, making his nose bleed, then throws Zion, seeing as he's so light, Zion lands on his back.
Zion stands back up. 'things are getting darker...' he shakes his head, some blood dripping to the floor. the man runs at him, Zion leaps up and grabs the man's jacket. "ancient arts, lightning bolts of no mercy!" Zion starts pumping thousands of volts of electricity into the man's body. the man screams in pain as Zion ups the voltage, the man falls to his knees, then onto his stomach, on top of Zion. it takes Zion a few seconds, but he crawls out from under the guy, he crawls to the arena wall and leans against it.
the crowd is silent for a few seconds... then they go absolutely wild at the massive display of powers of the fighters.
A guard unlocks the door and walks in, he looks at Zion. "Ok, back to your cage."
Zion barely has the energy to look up at him and say. "Can't... move..." A few medics with stretchers come in for the man and woman. the guard shrugs. "you can move just fine, now get up!"
Zion tries getting up, he manages to get to his feet, he walks slowly, trying to keep his balance, he walks out of the door, the crowd cheering him, the winner, but as he leaves, his powers leave, his eyes go wide, his body feeling numb and cold, he hears someone talk to him, the voice is muffled, his senses all dulled "hey buddy, you ok?" Zion falls to his knees, then collapses. the last thing he heard before fainting was "Somebody help him!"
[Next morning]
Zion wakes up in a medical room. There's a female Neko checking on him, she spots him awake. "Well hello little guy, how are you feeling?"
Zion tries to sit up, but the nurse pushes him back down.
the Nurse shakes her head. "Please, rest, you are very ill, the woman gave you a serious fever, no fighting today for you"
Zion couldn't keep his eyes open, he fell asleep again, soon after that.
Zion woke up again, a day later, he looked around, no nurse, he climbed out of bed, he looked at his clothes, he's wearing a light white kimono, the belt was tied at the back, making a bow behind him on his waist. Zion walked silently to the door, luckily he felt fine now, not sure what they did, but he was feeling great. he looked up, the door nob too high, since his powers were gone, he couldn't jump high enough to reach it. Zion thought for a second, then looked around, to find a stool, he walked over, grabbed it and pulled it over to the door, he climbed up it, grabbed the nob and turned it, he pulled it open, jumped off the stool and walked out, closing the door behind him, he looked down both the halls, to find a few doors and a guard walked away from him, he started down the hall, he came to a turn, he looked down it, and saw a nurse heading his way. 'she must be going to the medic room to check on me! gotta hurry...' he looked around quickly to see an upside down bucket and a mop.
The nurse walked marrily by, talking to herself. "My patient has gotten much better, i'm sureto get a good reward for this!" pleased with herself.
Zion throws the bucket off him thinking 'good thing i'm small...' he continues down the hall and comes to a door, a double door, he pushes them open, the room is red, a desk with a black chair at it. a name plate on the desk catches his eye "Commander Stan" he grins. 'yes! i can find the blueprints and figure out how to get rid of this accursed seal!' Zion rushes to the desk, he pulls a drawer open and starts fumbling through the stuff, finding a few small books, one labeled "spells" he snatches it up, he shuts the drawer and sits in the chair, he opens the book, there is a table of contents... he reads them over. "summoning... elemental spells... invisibility, werewolf... seals, ah hah!" He turns to the page with the seals and starts reading. "to seal a demon, you must first draw the symbol into the floor, the symbol of sealing, if you draw the seal in a green color, it is a minor sealing, 25% of the demon's power will be sealed, blue for level 2 sealing, it seals 50% power, level 3 in red, for 100% sealing. you must also draw the symbol of sealing on the demon's body in the same color. to break a seal..." Zion grins. "that's what i'm looking for!" he turns the page. "To break a seal you must have water mixed with the demon's blood and..." fingers appear at the top of the book as it's viciously pulled from Zion's hands. "huh?!" he looks up to see a man in a golden kamishimo, and a black katana sheathed at his side. "uh oh..." the man back hands Zion, making blood come from his mouth on the desk and floor. "OWW! you didn't have to hit me that hard!"
The man in golden clothes seems very angry. "you wish to break the seal?! you want to know how to break the seal?! the last ingredient is sperm from a lover! then you drink the potion. that's how to break it."
Zion glares at him. "think I believe you? you think i'm stupid? if you were just going to tell me, then why don't you let me see the book, if it truly is that, the let me see for my self."
The man growls. "GUARDS! get this brat to the springs! out of my sight!"
Zion frowns "HAH! i knew it, that ain't the real ingredient! you lying piece of-" the man back hands him again, more blood, Zion spits it on the man's pants.
The man becomes infuriated. "Why you!" he pulls his hand to backhand Zion again, but his hand is caught from behind.
Stan stands behind the man in gold, Stan had caught the man's arm. "That is quite enough Nushi." He looks at Zion. "You should be in my medical office, what are you doing in here?"
Zion looks down. "I needed to know how to get rid of the seal..."
Stan seems disappointed. "I wouldn't have sealed you, if i didn't think i had to." he let's Nushi's arm go. "If i catch you harming one of them again, i'll show you why I'm a higher ranking officer then you." talking to Zion again. "Come, let's get that blood taken care of, then bring you to the spring to get cleaned up, you smell of sweat from the fever." they head to the medical office, they go in, the nurse is in there bewildered, but an expression of relief came over her when she saw Zion enter.
Stan smiles at the nurse. "No need to worry, he was with me, i was showing him some neat books in my office."
Zion is stunned, Stan caught him trying to break the seal, so he could escape, but he was being so nice, what's the deal? "Stan...?"
Stan looks at Zion. "Yeah?"
Zion looks up at him. "why are you being so nice, you just caught me trying to break the seal..."
Stan looked thoughtful for a moment. "Well, you didn't damage anything, you didn't steal my book, you just wanted knowledge... now, lets get that mouth of yours checked." he picks Zion up and puts him on an examination table. the nurse comes over and checks his mouth. The nurse walks over to a table, he pulls a lever and water comes from a faucet, she grabs a small cup and fills it, she brings the water to Zion. "here, gurgle this water, swish it around and spit it out in the jug" she points to a jug, Stan picks him off the table and sets him down, Zion walks to the jug, and does as she said.
The nurse smiles. "good, nothing serious, just cut the inside of his cheek with his fang, it'll heal in no time."
Stan smiles too. "alright, off to the spring." Stan walks out, Zion follows. 'good, from here, he'll take me to the spring, so i'll know where to go from the spring to get to his office, that way, I can get that damn book.' Then he remembered something. 'shit! i told that wolf i'd mate! damnit!' they are getting closer to the spring. 'Shit! awww damnit... i told him i would...' he sighs. 'looks like i have to...' as they are about to enter the spring, Lee interferes.
Lee stands in Stan's way. "Sir! i must report a discovery!"
Stan looks at him in a funny way. "Continue"
Lee nods. "I did some looking into on the Kit-youkai tribe in the lands of Lien, turns out that the males of the tribe can bare children."
Stan looks at him funny still. "explain"
Lee sighs. "The kit-youkai tribe in the lands of Lien developed a fail safe in their bodies, they evolved with it, they can produce children."
Stan still looking at him funny. "ok, but why are you telling me this?"
Lee is irritated now. "because you are escorting a kit-youkai that is from the lands of lien. he told a wolf-youkai he'd mate with him, to make him happy."
Stan looks at Zion. "were you trying to get pregnant?"
Zion looks at them both. "what?! you mean me?! I can't get pregnant, are you nuts?"
Lee looks at Stan. "He can, i did the research."
Zion protests. "I most certainly can not! My father would have told me!"
Lee looks at him. "Maybe your father was waiting until your first heat, to tell you?"
Zion blinks and looks down. "maybe..."
Lee looks back to Stan. "it all fits together, a male kit-youkai through life is very feminine, because if they don't end up having a male mate with a female, instead male to male, they can still be impregnated, but after a male mates with a female, thats when they become muscular, more muscles build on, but if a male is mated by a male, they stay feminine."
stan looks down at Zion. "I see, it does work, the boy is quite feminine... but he was going to mate today?"
Zion looks up. "I didn't know I could be impregnated!"
Stan smiles. "it's ok, you'll just have to call it off, and we'll need to take extra precations to avoid any incidents."
Lee stares at Stan. "like what?"
Stan looks at Lee. "We'll have to have him clean up in the female spring area, when he enters heat, we'll take him to a private spring area, so he doesn't end up impregnating one of the females, when he's in heat, he'll have to wear one of the pink kimonos for extra safety."
Zion turns red "with the females?! pink kimono?! what?! why?!"
Stan looks back at Zion. "You'll be i nthe female spring area, so that the males in heat don't impregnate you, and when you're in heat, you'll wear a special kimono telling the guards to keep an eye on you, because when your in heat, and a male is in heat, you won't say no to mating, that wya, the guard will know to keep you seperated at all times."
Lee heads for the male spring area. "i'll let sakeme know that he can't mate with you, and why he can't." he disappears inside.
Stan looks down at Zion. "Well, off to the female spring." he walks about 5 feet, across the hall, another door, he opens it to reveal another spring. "Come Zion, you need to wash."
Zion sighs and heads inside. A few girls come over.
one of the girls looks at Zion. "new girl?"
Zion's eyebrow twitches in irritation.
A second girl recognizes him. "Hey, aren't you that Zion? your a boy, why are you here?"
Zion mumbles.
Stan laughs. "now now, be nice, he's here because like you girls, he can become pregnant."
a few girls giggle.
Zion bares his fangs. "Shut up!"
Stan giggles some too. "ok girls, go wash up." Zion is upset. "don't listen to them..."
Zion growls. "you know how humiliating this is?! all because i can get knocked up! just super! this officially sucks!"
Stan frowns, concerned. "It's ok, you'll get used to it..."
a few tears slide down his cheeks. "I don't want to! I want to leave! I wanna go home... see my mom, my dad.." more tears are falling now.
Stan can't help himself, he holds Zion, cradles his head. "shhh... don't worry... i... i'm sorry... you're going to have to forget about them... but i'll help you anyway possible..."
Zion sniffles, clearing away the tears. "you know... I haven't seen them since the past 50 years... i miss them so much..."
stan frowns. "must terribly hard on you... wish I could help you..."
Zion frowns "there is a way..."
Stan "what is it?"
Zion looks up at him, his eyes glimmering. "let me go..."
Stan looks away. " I can't do that..."
Zion clenches his teeth for a second. "but... why? you run this place, you're the big cheese! why can't you...?"
Stan seems emotional. "I'm sorry... do you know how much your worth? you've earned me over 450,000 dollars just by two fights! just to challenge you, they need to pay 150,000! I'm making a fortune!"
Zion seems stunned, he gets away from Stan. "thats what it all comes down to! money! I was starting to look up to you! I can't believe this! I thought you were cool!" Zion stands up and turns away from Stan.
Stan seems hurt for a second. "money is not everything, it never has been, and never will be! it's just... my business has been in debt... and since i got you, everyone wants you, and since your breed is so rare, only 3 of you are available in the rest of the world! it's so expensive to fight you, and you haven't lost yet! you brought me out of debt and more! my mood has been so much better, I can't just let you leave... i'm sorry... if you were just some lowly neko-youkai or something, no problem, i'd make your wish come true... but you... no... you are a true rarity, a kit-youkai of the lands of Lien!"
none of this is making Zion feel any better, his fists are shaking. "you know how fast my dad would tear you apart...?"
Stan frowns at the thought, stan thinks to himself 'no doubt, if his son is this strong at such a young age... how powerful is his father?!' "please, i'm sorry, it's nothing personal..." he gets right up behind Zion. "forgive me... my business is depending on you..."
Zion turns a little, just enough for Stan to see his right eye. which is staring at him, death glare, cold and emotionless. he says with no emotion except hatred. "away... get away from me..." 'i'm getting out of here! if i can get back to the lands of Lien, my dad will surely get rid of this seal!'
Stan just stood there, looking at Zion and the glare Zion gave him. Stan, getting a backbone, put his foot down. "oh? what if i don't leave you alone?! I was being nice guy, but do you want nice guy to leave?! I am being generous!, as I am to everyone here! I am allowing you to bath in here, to avoid being raped and impregnated, i'm allowing you to take one of the silk kimono's the females use for extra precaution against rape, i looked the other way when I found you in my office, and you nearly killed your last two opponents! I negated all of the punishments! All I wanted in return were manners and kindness! but this is what i get?!
Zion growls and turns to him. "Don't try to make me look like the bad guy here! you are keeping me against my will here! you sealed my powers within my body! I wouldn't have to worry about being raped if you didn't seal me, and now the pains of not being with my family all because of YOU! you are a greedy bastard! keeping us here, to train us to be obedient, become slaves for you, and pets and sex toys for others! Don't forget Stan, you break many families apart when you kidnap a child from them, and just wait you son of a bitch, my brothers are going to find me and tear you apart! Everything here will be history! your life, your business, and your precious underground arena!
Stan has heard enough. "you don't know what it takes to run a business, half the kids i find in the forest are starved to death or dying! did you happen to know half the children are abondoned because of parents who irrationally mated, like what YOU WERE GOING TO DO!? And who are you to threaten me?! i'm your new master, so beg for forgiveness!" with that, he slapped Zion across the face. "Didn't know i'd punish?! only the ones who deserve it the most!" he punches Zion in the gut, Zion falls to one knee as Stan kicks him in the face, knocking him over backwards. "now get washed up, I have to teach you how to be a slave. i'll be waiting outside." with that, he walks out.
Zion whimpers as he gets up, he is hunched over, clutching his stomach, blood coming from his nose. A few girls come over to help him stand.
a girl helping him says "a...are you ok? we've never seen him do that before..."
Zion pulls his arm away. "l-let me go...! i'm fine..." Emotion running in his tone. he takes a step falls over from the pain.
The girls help him up again. one of them speaks. "We're really sorry we laughed at you..." a few other girls agree by saying "Yeah" aswell. "we know the troubles of being able to become pregnant... we shouldn't have... huh?!" Zion rested his head on her arm, he's crying. "We'll be ok... we're going to get out of here... some how, some day..." she sighs. "i'm sorry Zion, but we'd better get you washed up, we don't want Stan more mad at you..." Zion, with the help of the girls, walks over to the edge of the spring.
Zion looks at the girls. "thank you... it's good to know, there are friendly people here..." Zion takes the kimono off, making sure his private area is covered with his tail, and slips into the water, the warm water soothing the aches he just aquired.
One of the girls walks up next to Zion. "I don't mean to disrespect you or anything, but if we didn't know you were a boy, with the way you covered yourself... we wouldn't know the difference..."
Zion looks at her. "I know..." he sighs. "I know..." after a while, the girls all had to go back, Zion got dressed back in the kimono and went out to find Stan impatiently waiting. "Do what you want, but you will have to harm me knowing that you harm a defenseless child, who i hope you know would kick your ass all over this fucking arena if you didn't cowardly seal me." he spits on Stan's foot.
Stan looks at his foot. "you know, I was contemplating on giving you a break, your new, you need more time to get used to this, but i'm not so sure now."
Zion rolls his eyes. "yeah, i'm so sure, like i haven't heard that one before"
Stan grits his teeth. "you sure are turning into a pain in the ass!"
Zion screams at Stan "THEN LET ME GO!"
Stan is trying to keep his cool. "Do you want me to punish you?"
Zion looks at him. "You know, go ahead, you told me you need me to help your business, and by the way things are going now, i think i'll lose, on purpose! I think I just might! so I can watch your business go under in no time flat! i've got a better idea, i'm going to help it go under!"
Stan growls at Zion. "watch what you say boy!" he goes to slap Zion, but Zion catches his wrist. "wha?!"
Zion grins. "my brothers are close by, they can sense that my power is gone, they are lending me some, so, that tells me they are well on their way here, when they get here, they will kill you, unless of course, you take this seal off me now, and let me go, i'll put in a good word for you"
Stan shakes his head. "I see what your doing... your bluffing"
Zion laughs. "Bluffing? hah! we'll see who's bluffing when your drawing your last breath!"
Stan shakes his head and smiles. "No, i can sense it, there is no link set up between you and your brothers, they are no where near here, you are gathering energy in the pits of your stomach, to release into your body, and you use it before the seal can take it away, very impressive."
Zion frowns. "so you're a bit brighter then I thought, well, you still have a problem, i'm gathering energy, you've seen what I can do if i charge it long enough, so i leave you with 2 options, either let me go, or kill me."
Stan smiles at him more "But your forgetting dear little kit, there is mroe then one way to rid you of your energy"
Zion looks him slightly puzzled "huh?"
Stan just keeps smiling. "By mating you."
Zion looks horrified. "wh...what?!"
Stan doesn't stop smiling. "If I mate you, the energy your storing in your gut will release, to provide for the mating, then, when you become pregnant, any energy you try to store will be taken by the baby, so I suggest you release that energy you are storing, unless you want to be taken by me."
Zion sighs defeated, he lets the energy go. he bows his head.
Stan keeps smiling. "you should have just stayed nice to me, you wouldn't be having this problem right now, and now that you tried lying to me, i'm going to make it a bit worse, come to my office, I have much discipline to give you." he starts walking towards his office, Zion has no choice but to follow.
[hours later]
the Neko-youkai beside Zion's cage is not doing much of anything, when Zion is carried in, and placed into his cage, the cage is locked and the guard leaves. as Curious as the Neko is, he looks into Zion's cage. "you...you ok?" no response. "you ok?" the Neko's voice filled with Concern. Zion's voice, soft and hurt is heard
"no... i am not..." Zion doesn't move in his cage.
The Neko seems worried now. "What happened? you never came to the spring, we were looking for you, to play a few water games, like marco polo"
Zion shifts a bit. "AAAACK!" a crunch noise is heard. Zion whimpers loudly. "holy cow..."
the Neko gets closes, he is next to the wall of his cage that faces Zion's. "what did he do?!"
Zion is unresponsive for a bit. "He... broke my leg..."
the Neko seems to think for a second. "could you do me a favor?"
Zion looks at the Neko. "I guess so... as long as your happy..."
The Neko smiles. "can you lay right here?" he sticks his hand into Zion's cage and pats a spot in the Neko's reach.
Zion is questionable as to why, but doesn't think much of it and crawls painfully to that spot and lays there.
the Neko nods. "thank you, now sleep, I have a bad feeling that you'll be needing it, don't mind me" The Neko puts his hand on Zion's leg.
Zion is slightly startled by his hand, but doesn't care for long, sleep quickly takes him.
