Kisu looked smug, one ear twitching. "Good girl. (Adressing suka O.o) Now. What have you come for? I do not wish to burn all of my bridges just yet."
He put his sword back in his sheathe, smiling. (looks a bit attractive ^__^)

Endorphin scoffed softly at the elemental, and as soon as it was settled he ghosted around it to face the adult. He tilted his head. "Prey shouldn't ask questions," he sneered.

Kisu looked at Endorphin.
"Do you have a problem with me, also?"

The disguised Devourer rolled his shoulders back, loosening up. He had finished the deer (hide and all) not long ago, but it wasn't much to nourish a traveling beast of his impressive appetite. "I'm hungry. You're edible." He showed his teeth again (one could not call it a smile). "Don't take it personal."

Kisu looked at him.
"You want food? If you all will stay the night, I could give you plenty to eat." He smiled also, revealing fangs.

Frost narrowed her eyes at the fox man. She didn't like him, or the way he addressed the girl. She turned her back on him and walked back to the others. She stopped halfway there, turned to Snow, and gestured for it to come close. snow did, and Frost placed a palm on its nose. SNow turned to water, and appeared to sink into frost's veins, absorbing into her wrists, just above the bracelets. Then, Frost turned and went back to Nezumi and the others.

"I'm no hand-fed dog!" Endorphin spat on the ground. Kitsune were forest-dwellers, and many became skilled hunters of his race. This was mutual, since many kitsune had been foolish enough to try and invade Devourer territory. Endorphin's race had grown quite a taste for fox flesh in the process. "Food shouldn't talk." He tensed up, ready to spring.

Nezumi took a deep breath, and strode over to Kisu.
"We need a place to stay for the night, and you seem very... Eager to have guests, am I right? Now... We will stay at your house, if there is not a problem. If any of my group has a problem, they can tell me. And... Maybe you could be a little nicer to that little girl... Suka?"
Suka looked at her with happy little eyes.
Kisu smirked.
"You're lucky that you're a cute girl. If no one has a problem, you may stay here... And I shall act nicely towards this girl... Yes, Suka... Anyway, if no one has a problem, you and I shall discuss... Conditions, mm?" He raised his eyebrows questioningly.

Frost tensed. She didn't want to stay here, in unfamilier territory, as drained as she was. However, she was hired to be a bodyguard. If her employer was going to stay here, she couldn't very well leave. "...Very well..." she muttered softly.

Endorphin whirled on his 'employer' with a feral snarl. "I share no roof with these whelp-slayers! They are prey - no better than their four-legged ilk! Their only worth is in my stomach, where there will be no drugging and decieving and murdering of kin!" His voice became even harsher, coming out as an enraged shriek. His form seemed to shudder and grow, but he held the transformation in. He wasn't stupid.
His aura, on the other hand, continued to get wilder, more out-of control. It began to expand, reaching from him towards the others in a predatory, grasping manner.

Koumori actually backed off at the sudden movemet of his dark aura, hissing quietly. The aura itsself hadn't bothered her much... But Endorphin's very outline had seemed to change. She didn't trust it. Not in the least. Her lseeves fell back, covering her sickly palloured arms, and strange, longfingered hands. She turned to Nezumi. "For once... I agree with Endorphin. It would be unwise to stay with people we have never met..." Not to mention the hidden people. Where were they all? The village seemed to be deserted... But she could hear them. Underground? Under some sort of spell? Kitsune, but in their disguised forms? Also, she had decided that she didn't like the fox-man. Not in the least.

Frost sighed, very quietly, with relief. Maybe they wouldn't end up staying after all. She moved a little closer to Koumori, who seemed to be the only rational person of this little group.

((Is she more than three feet away from Koumori? If she's less than a few paces away, Frost should be able to sense papable dark magic. At three feet or less, it begins to drain energy...))

((Dun, dun, dunnn...)) Koumori automatically took a step away from Frost, with no change in facial expression. It was more of a reflex than anything.

Frost stopped. "Sorry," she said softly. She looked paler than normal. Turning away from the others, Frost walked a little ways back in the direction they had come from, trying to conceal her trembleing hands.

Another snarl bubbled up in Endorphin's throat. He'd had enough. With demonic speed, he crouched and lunged at the male kitsune, intent on the hunt and the kill. The foul trickster would kill them all in their sleep, anyhow.

Sekou's sword arm flung wide, steel streaking through air, his sword meeting the place between Endorphin and Kisu.

Kisu backflipped twice, landing in the dust some twenty feet away. He smirked, finding sick humor in the fact that some humans were refusing his most gracious kindness.
"Hm. Your choice. I do not wish to slaughter you all, lest my reputation be... soiled any further." He smirked wider, thethree scars over his right eye seeming to shine darkly in the evening sun. He strode towards his house, scooping up Kcattah, whose sobs had seemed to subside. Suka began to follow, casting a scared look back at the group.
"I... I'm gonna stay with them... Just for tonight.... I mean, if it's okay.... Kisu-sama..." Her voice trailed off. "I mean... If... If they don't want me... I guess..." She sent a scared look at the group, her eyes falling first on Frost, then glancing at Nezumi and Koumori. Her eyes were filled with an unknown terror... Like if she went inside... She didn't know if she'd come back out...
(School is overwhelming ;-; I'm sorry guys......... I'm so... tired... Really sorry! Forgive me *deeply bows*)

Frost turned towards the girl. "It is fine with me if you stay, Suka. ...not that my opinion matters much..." she said softly, descreetly leaning against a tree for balence.

Endorphin minced to a forced stop befor he ran into the blade, glowering with fierce, almost sparking eyes behind those shades. He bunched up again, ready to shove through the demon to kill the kitsune. Another moment, however, and something broke through his rage.
Together, the scum he was travelling with could probably kill him. If he drew this out any longer... he looked down at his hands, partway through twisting themselves into heavy claws. He would transform, they would kill him.
He backed away, snarling like an animal. His gaze darted to the girl and stayed there, his lip curled in defiance. If she stayed the night, it mattered little to him. Just another snack when everyone else was sleeping.

Sekou sheathed his sword "you people arent very good body guards are you?" he was bitter that nobody let him make his little speach. Why did they think he would ask him to identify the Mark? Obviously he had been leading up to something. And people didnt tend to look him in the eye. The knife flared again. He was the only person who was attempting to do his job.

"We are here to guard Nezumi. Not Mr. Fox-thing," Frost replied shortly. Her wrists were burning. Great. Another scar, she thought to herself acidly.

Nezumi turned to her so-called guards.
"Hey, guys... Please stop fighting... Umm... Please..." She looked away, her smile now gone.

Endorphin switched his 'gaze' to the demon-man who changed his name too many times to keep track of. His mouth twisted into a humorless grin. "I am no more guard dog than I am lap dog." He stepped away, moving to the outskirts of the group yet somehow avoiding looking like he was retreating from the conflict. His hand-claws slowly withered away as his human form once again gained control.

FRost took a deep breath, then walked over to Nezumi, somehow managing to conceal how shaky she was. "May the young girl stay with us?" she asked softly.

Nezumi scooped Suka up in her arms.
"Of course! I'd be angry if she didn't stay with us! I know how it can be to have a cruel father... And she's adorable!"
Suka stared up at Nezumi with amazed eyes. No one had ever picked her up so ... So lovingly! Suka hugged Nezumi around the shoulders.

Chantre sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. Noone was there. They'd... had they left without her? "Crap!" she yelped, and sprang up, closely following the trail left by the group. She didn't stop until she found the village. She saw them talking to the few people on the street, and decided to hide and see what was going on before she entered their group again.
