I open the door, already speaking up and not even waiting to hear them out, wanting to get this over with quickly for my food was getting cold:"Oi woman breakfast is ready and I need you to-"
Then I stop, my gaze scanning the inside… and just stand there, staring down that was in front of me.
Isa had her leg up, putting in a long to the knee white sock, her foot on the bed as she was already with her skirt on.
Yet the problem wasn"t there… but at the expose upper body with the soft skin visible, but even worst then having it expose was… the lack of woman b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
"…"
"…"
We froze in place staring each other down until I open my mouth to say something, having Isa babbling up first, totally out of it:
"Is not what you think! I-I…!" I think Isa was just as shocked and confused as I.
"Look, is alright, I"m not here to judge your hobbies or anything…"
"Hobbies? Hobbies?! Do you really think I like dressing up as a woman? I"m a man for G.o.d sake!" I just shrug.
"Like I said, I"m not here to judge…"
That"s right, it seemed like our annoying woman was actually an annoying brat.
We are silent again, which makes me think if I should just turn around and leave; I mean, it"s none of my business, and I already told he-him what I needed to, and Isa could always check on my brother after breakfast.
But as I turn around to leave I"m surprised by the dark elf, who must have stood hidden in the darkness and, shocking me, had been able to hide his presence completely until he went and closed the door right on my face.
Uhm… ok?
"Y-you can"t tell anybody, ok?" Isa says, for the first time sounding not so sure of himself, and I would even go as far as to say terrified by the matter.
That makes me curious… I frown.
"Why not?" I would never do such a thing, but I thought better to press him a little so I could have my answers.
I turn around only to see that he had dressed a s.h.i.+rt quickly over his body, hidden his small feminine frame, but still more casual and exposed than normal as I could see his long silver hair loose, his intense purple eyes staring into my soul.
"Stop that hound, this is very serious, you must not tell anyone."
"Not even Leonel?"
"H-he already… presumes that I hide something, but no, not even for him."
"Why?"
"Is none of your concern."
"Oh, really, you simple ask me to forget then? Or rather, to hide your secret even if you are not willing to tell me why, even though it seems to be a rather "important matter", isn"t it?"
That"s when he gets angry, dropping stuff on the floor and screaming at me, but I could feel it was out of despair.
"If I said drop it you just drop it G.o.dd.a.m.nit hound!"
I stand tall them, getting angry at his att.i.tude as I have for a long time, receiving this anger and scorn and for no reason, for the mere switch of moods from this brat.
"Listen now boy, I don"t have a lot of patience with spoiled kids like yourself, and I was already thinking of asking Leo to take you out of this group but every word coming out from your mouth right now is only proving my point."
"Shut up! I don"t need your approval, I can take care of myself!"
"Oh, I wouldn"t be so sure, this world swallows little brats like you for breakfast, and they don"t even leave the bones behind. You wouldn"t stand a chance alone out there, so cut the c.r.a.p of brave boy and show some respect kid."
I was so done with him that I did not even remember what had started this discussion anymore.
"Look, I don"t know what you are pa.s.sing through, and I may have cared about it seconds before you started talking s.h.i.+t back at me, but nothing, and I repeat, nothing gives you the f.u.c.king right to talk to me like that, you hear me brat?"
"I-I"m not a brat!" He says, hesitant to my now seemly calm behavior and lower voice, which was far from being calmer, but in the edge of exploding on him. "And I don"t care what you think! Just shut up and go away! You should have never entered this room uninvited!"
"You know what." I add, gritting my teeth and closing my hands into fists. "I don"t even know why you are in this group. Or rather, still is, but don"t worry, I will take that responsibility out of your shoulders. We don"t need people like you in this group." He tries to talk back, but a talk louder and keep my words on top of his. "This group fights equality, respect and freedom, and if you don"t know the basic of none of them then you are not fit to be in this group."
"Shut up hound you do not decide what I can nor will do!" He screams, red from anger as his purple eyes stared me down.
"You know that I could rip your throat out easily, don"t you brat?" I try reasoning with him; don"t even know why I still bother at this point; when he says:
"You wouldn"t be able to even scratch my ankle, even less to bite me you p.r.i.c.k."
That"s it.
"LEARN SOME RESPECT BRAT OR I WILL MAKE YOU SWALLOW YOUR OWN G.o.dd.a.m.nIT WORDS!"
A very loud growl escapes my lips, my silver eyes glinting with a sharp light as my shadow grows behind me taking my Terror form, a black spiral eye staring back as it raised its lips with me, showing the rolls of sharp teeth as we were eager for a bite.
I can hear footsteps on the hallways as the others had heard the commotion, but I"m livid with this creature in front of me to the point of seeing red.
I had tasted human flesh before.
And I wasn"t joking when I said I could kill him.
Because G.o.d knew that I was seriously considering it at this point.
I only got out of the trance of seeing red when I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me turn with baring teeth only to see Leo"s face up close, a serene neutral expression that made me mesmerized by his almost celestial figure and peacefully aura, his golden eyes staring steadily into mine as, before I knew it, I had calmed down by his mere calm presence and soft touch, steadily ma.s.saging my shoulder.
d.a.m.n if he did not know me so well.
For the first time, a little calmer, I could see that Isa had fallen down to the side, eyes wide staring terrified at me, curved in a ball as the dark elf stood between us; not that it would make a difference if I really had dashed forward; for I had trapped them down to the corner of the room without meanings of escape.
I had been hunting them down, and if it wasn"t for Leo stopping me…
Thought, yet, I did not feel guilty, but with a calmer mind I did not find reason to attack anymore, so I just puff out a black smoke, scowling and annoyed as I turn and leave, regretting the bad way this day has started, opening a path from the curious that came to see; or rather, everybody beyond us three back in there.
Knowing myself I realized that I needed something to burn the steam off otherwise I would slash out at her-him again for stupid little things, like breathing a little too loudly beside me.
I don"t need his death on my tab, it was already very filled up.
In the end I skipped breakfast and went straight out, finding a little annoying about the happy aura that this perfect garden with the sunrays had in the morning.
As I keep walking away my mind starts to get distracted, little by little making me physically and mentally away from the situation that just happened.
I look for a good pot to burn so me steam up, remembering how I had discovered one thing after leveling up and hunting for so long, as it got harder and harder to evolve: that experience does not come only for killing things, is not like we absorbed their level or something, no, experience is gain from doing and learning, so after a battle, even if both got out alive, you would still get experience for it and would be able to evolve.
But, of course, for lower levels and weaker creatures is faster to kill, as Shu ended up doing beyond eating my crystals.
That"s why, after learning that fact and gaining a humanoid body, I started training in martial arts because beyond learning it I also gain experience from it.
Just perfect.
The only bad thing is that, like work out, this type works better when continually done, otherwise once you go back to it you will have to start from the beginning, meaning less experience as killing a level 1 creature when you are level 100.
It was a respectable method… but a very tiresome one; perfect right now for my state of mind though.
Once I find I good spot, under the shadow of a big tree, I start to stretch, cracking my backbones and putting my foot on the trunk.
I start with simple moves then, using the Katis I learned, moving my arms with slow movements, like flowing water or a soft breeze, but still quick and deadly as a snake bite, the movements of my arms flowing in one pace, melting together all the attacks as I bend my knee and step forward, crossing the legs as my hands point to the opposite side so that soon my legs follow their direction by bringing it up in the air and stretching it out for the next step.
All was done in an almost lazy casual speed, at a steady pace as if following the song played by the wind ruffling the leaves beside me.
Kicks, higher kick, even jumping ones, palms aimed for the head, throat, to defend, to attack, all against an invisible enemy, all to keep my balance and concentration in check, my body moving in a sure way as it has many times before.
I keep it for a while, feeling refresh and alive as adrenaline pumped into my veins, until I feel a presence far to close and ended up with my feet right up at the creatures face; who stood unfazed by it.
"…Shu, what are you doing here?"
Ignoring the fact that he was almost kicked in the face; not really, I had enough control so I would not harm him, but wanted to give a scare nonetheless; I soon realize that I would not be able to continue exercising as he starts wiggling his fluffy green whitetail, his tongue out as the sunlight s.h.i.+nes right back from his bright black eyes.
Sigh. "…Come here."
He does so, wiggling his b.u.t.t from side to side as he trots with his chubby body and tiny white paws, his little pink tongue making it all the more chubby.
I take him off the ground, holding by the armpits as he uses that to his advantages and licks my face up, making me laugh as I bring him farther away from my face.
"Silly Shu, let"s go back ok?"
Feeling as I had literally sweated the tension and stress out from my pores I go back inside, feeling the price of skipping breakfast as my stomach starts to rumble.
"Uhm, I wonder if is there anything left for us…"
Shu barks; or rather, squeaks a bark; as he follows me, giving little jumps here and there, swinging his fluffy b.u.t.t and tail as if owning the place.
How cute.
