Fire & Ice II: Age of Rebirth(private/mature/continued)

Soara wasn't really intimidated by what Noel said. However the deal did seem interesting. A map of the booby traps for his weapons. She stared at him before finally answering. "How do I know I can trust you?" she asked. In truth she didn't trust him at all.

Kora followed titus into the dining hall. Seeing Kira she smiled at her. "I understand I wouldn't want to wear the same color everyday either." she said. Taking Titus's gesture she sat next to him. Staring at the food and over at Ama who clearly didn't like her.

Noel waited patiently for Soara to return. He leaded against the gate with his arms crossed, his head slightly tilted back. When he she finally did return, he turned around giving her a small grin. "Hmm...or I could sit down and make myself comfortable while you chase after your brother. FYI, you might run into a tiny problem doing that. You see.." Noel paused and leaned forward a bit so his hands slid along the bars of the gate. "Its been my mission to protect the ruins. Around the village are...a certain number of demon killing traps. The closer you get the actual village the more traps appear. Now, you being the monster that you are could certainly handle a few of them. However, there's a few big ones that might just take you by surprise." Noel laughed. If Soara though she could actually bargain with him, she was wrong. "Sooo, you give my blades now..and in exchange I may just draw you a map detailing some of the more...non friendly traps in the area..."

Titus raced into the dining room. Ama was already sitting down feeding Kira some sliced apples. When Kira saw Titus she nearly jumped out of her seat. She loved both her cousins, but she thought that Titus was funniest. "Yo runt." Titus smirked walking up to girl and ruffling her hair. Kira looked up at her big cousin with a wide grin. "Lookie! I got a new bow." she smiled and turned around to show it off. "Oh yeah you sure did. Hey, how come you wear a different colored bow in your hair everyday??" Titus blinked. "Dont bother asking. Thats just her style..." ama sighed softly. When Kora walked in, Ama's eyes almost immediately shot over towards her. "You intend to let the human eat with us?" Ama asked. "That a problem?" Titus frowned, his eyes now on his older cousin. "I suppose not..as long as she behaves herself." Ama muttered. Titus let out a huff and signaled for Kora to join him across from Kira. "My human is good. She maybe loud and a little angry...but she's still good. She's nothing like that garbage eating human that my waste of space so called sister brought back.."

"Right whatever you say." Soara muttered in response. At his question of trust she laughed. "Letting you in here with me would be a foolish idea and make me look stupid." she looked around finally spotting his swords. Emerging with them a few seconds later she stared at Noel. "Only...and I mean ONLY if you don't use them till we get out."

Kora followed Titus out of the room. Taking the work clothes she smiled. "Thanks." she said. The smell of bacon wasn't strong enough for Kora's human senses yet but she ran after Titus anyway. She didn't want to be left alone in this place.

"He's a demon..its only natural he'd go that low." Noel hissed. When they reached the armory, he stood still blinking slightly. "Dont trust me princess? I thought you demons were superior. What could a little human like me do against you..and room filled with weapons??" Noel asked with a devilish grin.

"Why is she so angry? It was an accident...and I said I was sorry..." Titus thought to himself letting out a deep sigh. He was sure that he'd never understand human females. By the time she came back from bathroom he was already dressed and ready to go. "Come on. Lets go get you a change of clothes since you find the ones I lent you old fashioned." he frowned and headed for the door. He walked for a few minutes before coming to a small closet. "These are work clothes. They're not fancy...so here." Titus stated tossing her a simply grey shirt and matching sweats. His eyes suddenly shifted down the hall. A big grin formed on his lips as he sniffed the air and licked his lips. "My aunt is cooking something nice. Lets hurry before Ama and runt steal all the bacon."

Hearing Noel bitching behin her Sara turned ad stare at him. "Really? Five seconds ago you couldnt have cared less about her. Not to mention my brother may be low but not that low." She snapped. Then opened the door to the armory. "You stay." Se said shutting the gate and locking it.

Kora stared at Titus. When he explained the dream. "Right and my breast was the marshmellow!" She growled. Then sighed "fine whatever. I'm going to wash my face." She muttered heading to the bathroom. Washingher face and brusing her teeth. Emergin a couple minutes later.

"Er..well perhaps not..but.." Ama whispered. It was too late though. She sighed deeply and turned to carry Kira into the kitchen. Noel was completely disgusted though. "Its not enough to kill us is it?" he asked Soara, his eyes staring a hole into her back. "No. You have to rape and defile our women too dont you? Fucking monsters..you're all the same."

"....huh?" Titus blinked, a sweatdrop forming on the back of his head. "No no..thats not possible. Last night I had one of the best dreams ever. I was chasing this giant sized marshmallow and when I caught it, I just had to squeeze it and...oh..wait..oooooh." Titus nodded, finally getting it. His face turned a little red. He stared at the floor for a second rubbing the back of his neck. "Um..well it could have been worse. At least I didn't lick your breasts right?" he asked laughing softly. Kora didn't seem to be in the mood for jokes though. "Look..I'm sorry. Just stop calling me a perv. It was an accident. If I REALLY wanted to feel you up I wouldn't wait till you were sleep. I was knocked out.."

"You shouldnt be that surprised." Soara relied. when they ran into Ama she stopped as Kira jumped into her arms. "Hey there." She smiled ruffling her hair. The tured to Ama and noded. Though the statement about her brother caught her off guard. "What?" She excaimed. "Eh none of my buisness. She stated handing Ira back over before continuin to the armory.

Kora looked at Titus as he clearly wasnt getting it. "Well....i may never have but i know what it is. And thanks to you i have. You groped me in your sleep." Sh explained.

The force from her kick was a surprise. Her pinning him caused another. He stood with his back against the wall staring into her eyes. Even after she had shoved him again, Noel simply smiled. "So the princess does have some fight in her hm?" He chuckled and got up following her. "And here I thought you were nothing but a monster like child. I must say that you've surprised me." Noel smirked. On their way to the armory, they passed Ama who was holding Kira. "Where are you off to?" Ama blinked. Yugo had yet to ask her to keep an eye on Soara. "Nee-san who is that?" Kira asked pointing at Noel. "He smells funny!" the small girl exclaimed before jumping out of Ama's arms and into Soara's. She nuzzled her nose into her cousin to get a little of her scent. "A child?" Noel frowned. Ama stared at him firmly. "My baby sister." she explained. She kept her eyes glued on Noel. She knew that her mother would burn the entire castle down if anything happened to Kira. "Soara..when you're done make sure you come to breakfast. Mom is making us something. Oh...and..." Ama blinked and paused to cover Kira's ears. "I think Titus is mating with his human. I caught him on top of her last night. I dont approve..but..well..maybe you just tell your mom. Doing something like that...its just wrong..."

Titus' dark brown eyes suddenly shot wide open! "What? Someone groped you this morning?" he growled and turned towards the door. He sniffed the air and turned back to Kora looking very, very confused. "But...I dont smell anyone but the two of us...are you sure you were groped?" he asked and looked down at her chest. "Do you...by chance...even know what being groped feels like???"

Soara was suprised when Noel rushed her. "I'm sorry you are the one who said that!" she snapped at him. She let him finish his little rant before kicking him off her and towards the opposite wall where she pulled the dagger from his hand and pinned him to the wall. "I never said I wouldn't. I just said I thought you didn't want my help. You better watch where you step. I am aware of your nightly activity thank you very much." she shoved him against eh wall once more before pocketing the knife and walking off. "Now let's go get those weapons."

Kora waited for him to return. At his question she glared at him. "Yes I did until some perv started groping my breast and drooling on me." she growled in response. She crossed her arms staring at Titus intently.

Noel raised a brow. He looked down flexing his hand. He wanted to test just how much his body had healed. He looked back up at her, his eyes narrowing sharply. Someone needed to teach the princess her place. In a flash, he stepped forward rushing Soara! He moved pinning her back against the desk and placed the dagger he had kept hidden against her neck. "Careful monster." Noel whispered in a soft tone. He had one hand on her neck while the other kept the blade placed against her neck. "Its in your best interest to get me my weapons. You see, I considered cutting your pretty little neck the other night. As a matter of fact. I was standing right over your bed with my dagger while you slept like a child. I decided to spare your life seeing how you did the same for me. If you want to save your father, if you want to keep up with your brother you'll get me what I want. Am I clear?" Noel asked, his voice hardening as he pressed the blade closer to her neck spilling just a little blood

"Huh?" Titus groaned and looked up. His brown eyes fluttered open. He sat up slowly rubbing his eyes. "Mm..why am I on the floor?" Titus muttered, still not completely awake. "Mm..bathroom..." he whispered and rose to his feet still not completely acknowledging Kora. When Titus came out of the bathroom after washing his hands and face he was a little more awake. "My neck hurts.." he muttered, now looking in Kora's direction. "Did you sleep well?"

Soara looked over at Noel. "Oh you're still here." she muttered. Getting up she rubbed her eyes before ehading to the bathroom. Changing and fixing her hair she walked out. At his request she sighed. "Thought you didn't need my help." she said grabbing a apple form her desk she stared at him.

Kora rolled her eyes in disgust. Walking over to him she lightly nudged him with her foot before shaking him hard. "Wake up you nasty pervert!"

Noel was already up and dressed. His body had healed nicely. Turning around, he faced Soara with the same look of discontent. "You should get up soon." he advised and walked over to her desk grabbing a pear. "Oh. I want my weapons back too. Those duel blades are very valuable and mean allot to me. I dont know which one of your men grabbed them, but I need them."

The force from the slap combined with how she sprung up from the bed caused Titus to roll off the bed. He landed flat on his head...but still didn't wake up even with her screaming. He had a goofy smile on his lips too. "~Mmm..so tasty..and sweet...~" he purred, his tail even wagging a little. He was hugging his pillow close to his chest. Suddenly, a frown formed on his sleeping face. His brows creased together as he began to shake his head. "Hn..no..no Ama..you cant have any...my marshmallow..get your own.."

Soara felt bad for snapping but what he had said earlier was uncalled for. She wiped at the tears that were traveling down her cheeks. She soon fell asleep. When the sun came through the window in the morning she slowly woke with a groan. "Mmm..." she turned onto her back stretching.

Kora was sleeping peacefully until she felt Titus grope her breast. Her eyes flung open and she slapped his hand away. "WHAT THE FUCK! You perv!" she screamed spring from the bed. She tightened her kimono around her. "I can't belive you!"

"Is that so?" Noel frowned, his right eye twitching a little. Unlike titus, he wasn't about to crawl into the bed with Soara. He went into her closet graving a small blanket and made himself comfortable on the floor not to far from her bedside. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep without another word to her. She was nothing to him, just another monster...

When the sun rose, Titus out a small groan as bright beams of light hit his face. He had experienced the most amazing dream! He was standing in a field of marshmallows chasing them. A little bit of drool began to leak out from the corner of his mouth. He didn't know, but he had his arms wrapped tightly around Kora's waist. Her nose was nuzzling into her chest as he licked his lips slowly. "~Noooo..come back...~" Titus wined licking his lips again. "~My marshmallow..~" he purred softly, his right hand reaching to firmly grope one of her breasts as lips grew wet.

Soara changed her clothes and climbed into bed. Pulling the covers over her head. Hearign Noel open the door she didn't even look up. At his question she stayed silent then answered. "I don't really give a shit." she snapped.

Noel opened his eyes watching her storm out. "Hmm did I hit a nerve?" he mumbled and sunk deeper into the tub. He stayed in for a few more minutes before he came out his pjs on. They felt so weird compared to the light battle cloth he normally wore. "Where am I sleeping?" he asked her, his hair clinging to the back of his neck. His blue eyes scanned the room. IT looked like she hadn't exactly made a space for him to sleep.

Soara glared at Noel. As he continuedshe stood taking a towle and wrapping it around herself. "You should shut your mouth!" She yeled. "He was a great guy. A hundred times better than you!" She hissed. She could feel tears gahering in her eyes. "How he diedis none of your buisness!" She yelled then stormed out of the bathroom slamming the door.

"What a pity." Noel responding with a mocking tone in his voice. "Another demon bites the dust hm? What was he like? Perhaps, he was something like your father?" Noel asked, his eyes still closed. "Well thats one less demon in the world so I guess I should be thankful. I'm curious though, how did he die?"

At Noel's question Soara frowed looking down. "My well i guess you could say mate even though we werent marrie. Is dead...." she mumbled. She wasnt sure what else to say the whole subjct just saddened her completely. She cringe asthe image of Jann's severed head flashed into her mind.

"You said you're 30 something in human years..dont you have a mate or something? I find it hard to believe that one as old as you has never been mated or seen a naked male." Noel sighed in a board tone. He closed his eyes and titled his to the side a little. As much as he hated Soara and her family he couldn't deny that he loved their baths.

Eventally Soara tossed off the towel to fully relax. At his question she frowned. "Most peopl do when someones thing is hanging right in their face." She replied. She leaned bck against thewall of the tub as the jets messaged her back. It felt amazing.

"My god why is your face always turning red??" Noel frowned and moved into the tub. He sunk down allowing the jets to massage his sore beaten mussels. He loved at Soara noticing that she had a towel wrapped around her body. He leaned back against the wall of the tub shrugging. He had no desire to see her nude anyway so it really didn't care if she covered up. Little by little Noel began to drop his guard. The jets felt like heaven! He couldn't even remember the last time he had taken such a relaxing bath. Actually..he had never had a relaxing bath. Most of the time he had been forced to bathe in the cold waters of rivers and streams.

Soara quickly climbed into the huge tub an filled it with bubbles. Not wanting to see anything. It was too late though as she trned and saw Noel's naked form. She turned away tring to hide the blush from her face. She found this to be awkward. She hadnt seen a naked male since Jann.

"Why would I find that awkward?" Noel asked and titled his head to the side. He had no idea why she was always turning red in front of him. "You're a demon right? I'm a human..whats there to be embarrassed about?" he asked with a small sigh. He turned around grabbing his clothes and placing them to the side. In Noel mind Soara simply 'looked' human. It was a shell that hid the monster inside. Once the water was done, Noel stripped down right behind Soara. He didn't even bother to wrap a towel around his waist. His member might not have been 'as' big as a demon's, but for a human he was pretty well equipped.

Soara heard the doo and looked up. Covering herself wth the clothes. "What the hell!"she yelled. At the mention of bathing together she turned red. "What?! I....i guess....if you dont find that awkard..." she muttered. Heading to the bathroom she adjustedthe water and grabbed another towel.
