The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Her hands grasped at him, holding onto him as he increased the intensity of his thrusting into her. Her walls grew more wet and grasped tightly in response, her moans becoming more frequent. He kept pushing her higher and higher before long she, too, tumbled from the edge and was awash in the pleasure of release. A sof...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
i recently read a important custom that I forgot: you leave your katana at the door of the dwelling if you are a visitor. I'm not sure if it stretches to the owner. You can only bring your wakizashi. I'll remember that later. Terao watched her, helping her, being careful of her hurt arm. He helped her get her daisho re...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune watched as he readjusted his own Kimono and stood. She was reluctant for him to go, but she nodded her head softly. "Rest well, Terao," she said softly in response before his picked up his daisho and left the room, before then, soon, her dwelling, returning to his own. She sat for just a bit, holding her throbbing...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
His armor was repaired, and even if she couldn't see it from the armor and how she was facing him, he was in a fresh kimono without the hole in the back. She would need a new one, as well, because ripped, even with armor over it, was easier to grasp with special polearms. "Now, I have a few techniques to show you. One ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune saw that he was wearing a fresh kimono and reminded herself to do the same eventually, though since they were just training today, she hadn't seen the need just yet. She listened to his words, her flat onyx eyes watching closely as he demonstrated what he wanted her to do. Her hands pulled the blades free and as h...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He was surprised at how easily she took in his technique, and he smiled inwardly. He pulled his blade back from that, taking a retreating step back. "Good. The other technique is rather simple, but can be difficult to time right. To put it simply, you put your blade forward, and when they strike, you move closer to the...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune watched closely as he explained and demonstrated the next technique, duelly noting how it could be hard to deflect if the timing was not right. Also, how the move, indeed, made it useful for the duel weilding style. Two blades against one always proved to have benefits, though this technique would only make it mor...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He seemed pleased that she took to the skills rather easily. "Remember, offense is only good when you have the defense to back it up." He bowed slightly to her before sheathing his blades. "Practice often, but remember to have your mind on the skills you use, not just your body." He moved closer to her, his hand reachi...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She nodded to his words, almost surprised when he tucked loose strands of raven black behind her ear. His tone was gentle and light, giving her a soft praise. In the code that they lived by, this was an intimate gesture outside the walls. She smiled softly as he pulled himself away, walking past to return to the villag...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
When he was entering the castle, Hitomi was putting on some hand of obsidian. That already sent chills of unease through him. Unlike jade, which protected against the shadowlands taint, obsidian seemed to taint everyone that came near it. So he kept a respectful distance, kneeling down. "You have a mission, Hitomi?" Hi...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was a little uncomfortable as the gash was throbbing again. She wiped her face with a cool clothe, before she pulled off her armor and redressed herself in a fresh kimono, before pulling it back on. Her practice was done, so she wanted to make sure she was ready in case of anything. Once that was done, she sat on ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He found Yune pretty much where he had left her, and he was quick to move over and help her clean out the gash more. It wouldn't take too long to heal, it just was irritating to her. Once it was wrapped back up, he turned more to her. "We are to go to the Crab lands to help repel the Shadowlands creatures there. As a s...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He almost surprised her. Almost. She let him help to clean the wound out, before the bandage was replaced and hidden then by her sleeve. Her eyes found his and she frowned slightly. "Just the two us? I know we're both skilled, but to send us alone...even as just reinforcements..." she trailed off, not questioning it. S...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
The same comment was floating through his head, and at her question, he nodded. "Yes, sometime today, though sooner would be better. It would take a few days to get there on foot, but we will be fine." He smiled as he stood, helping her up onto her feet. "We can go right now, our wounds should be healed by the time we ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune really had a bad feeling about this, but nodded her head and followed him down the hill, a hand almost reflexively resting on the handle of her katana. His words were true, the roads were rather relaxing, though her thoughts still lingered about what they were heading into. It would be unheard of for Hitomi to sen...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
The path they were taking went mostly around the mountains to start, and when they were near the bottom where they would head towards the woods, Terao saw some men coming down. The first one down was Togashi Mitsu, jumping straight down. He was followed by Togashi Hoshi, which was someone that Terao only knew by name, ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
They walked for a decent amount of time before the Togashi clan members came down and approached them. She found her eyes staring at the tattoo as they were rather hypnotizing. One spoke and at his question, she nodded. "We are," she acknowledged as she and Terao came to a stop to come face to face with the Togashi war...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Mitsu nodded, turning towards the forest. "We were going to just use our powers, but if Hitomi is only sending you two, then we will come with you." Terao nodded, and the four of them went down the path. It eventually went into the forest. For a while, things were rather boring. But not even halfway down this road, ban...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She nodded as well and began to follow after them. It was quiet for a good portion of their walk, though after a bit, they were ambushed by a group of bandits. Yune's hand shot to her Katana but stilled as Mitsu gestured them to stand back. Her eyes widened a bit as she witnessed him, well, frying the bandits with his ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was just as stunned as Yume was, though he was able to contain himself completely unlike her. He nodded as Mitsu told them to continue on. It wasn't a long walk before they were out of the forest, the path turning into more of a walked road. What was in front of them was the city of Rensa Murai. "Shit." Mitsu sai...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune followed after, mainly keeping her mouth shut and ears open. Letting the men converse when it suited them. They left the wooded area and came out to the road, one that was more walked upon than naught that led into Rensa Murai. She frowned a little when she realized they'd been a little off track, but said nothing...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was roused from his shock by Yume, and he nodded to her. "Yes, let's go." They walked the rest of the way into the village in utter silence. The village itself wasn't that large, it was simply a village in the Phoenix provinces that was a stop between the areas, south of the Imperial Capital. There were houses sc...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune nodded, vaguely so, almost to herself as Terao moved off ahead as well. They didn't speak another word the rest of the way in. Their companions were headed towards the INN, as far as she could see, some others doing the same. Such insistant silence was bothersome to her when in a group of people when she was alone...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
They all entered the inn, and the owner came foraward, talking to the monks right away, giving greetings before showing them all to their rooms. They were all separated, and Terao meditated for a hour before settling down to sleep. It didn't last too long, though, before he was roused from sounds outside. He stood up, ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
They were all sent to different rooms and Yune sat for awhile before she sought to rest. Her slumber didn't last long, or had gone very deep, when Terao's pounding and his voice jarred her awake. Oni? There were oni here? She jolted awake in an instant and slid out of the bed, making sure she had her katana and wakizas...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
While Yume went to take care of the goblins, the two monks and Terao went to face off against the Oni. Terao picked out one of the Natsumono's, sizing it up as he drew out his blades. As he was advancing, it was obvious that the Oni spawn had saw him, because it turned his way, preparing itself for a charge. Terao held...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune heard the commotion of the Natsumono's cries of pain and outrage, but she continued on, slicing down anything that got in her way. Shoving occassionaly villagers out of the way to keep them from being injured by some of the goblin's makeshift weapons as they went about smashing things. Two goblins turned to her an...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Hoshi and the Oni stared down each other for a long moment, before charging forward at each other, trading hard blows with their blades. The clang of the metal rang out for miles, the sound of birds flying off in the forest. Soon, though, Hoshi did a tricky twist with his wrist, cutting the head off the Oni, the beast ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
"Thank you," Yune said to the Ize Zume when he took her wound from her. It was greatly appreciated and she wasn't about to let the monk go unthanked. Now that the village was safe, Yune wanted to return to her room and at least rest. It didn't matter if she didn't sleep, she just wanted a moment to rest. To sit. Maybe ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao had done his research. He knew the intricacies of the world, how dangerous it could be, all the secrets that were there to uncover. He stood for a moment, assessing the village, before heading back to the inn. He needed his rest, and he was asleep within moments of laying down, this time while wearing his armor t...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was able to retain some sleep that night once the adrenaline and such things had worn off. When the sun rose, she was promptly up, redoing her hair and fastening her daisho back into their rightful place. She'd left her armor on, as well. She was quick to eat what she could, hunger not too high up on her list of w...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Those were rather powerful Oni that attacked, there was no way that there wouldn't be word of their approach by the time they go there. His hands went back, taking his hair and tying it back at the nape of his neck. He looked around for a moment before slowly walking through the town, assessing the damages the goblins ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
It was only a moment after she left the inn, that Terao was approaching her. Assessing her. Assessing any damage that she may have taken from the attack the night before. When he was satisfied, he stepped back from her. His words mirrored her thoughts and she gave a soft nod. "You all of people should know I practice, ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He nodded at her words. "We are heading to the Shadowlands. Everything there is tainted, the creatures, land, and water. Be careful, don't get injured, and don't drink or swim in there." He turned away from her and started walking around the village again, making sure everything was ok. To be honest, he was a little af...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was afraid as well, but she was stubborn enough and cut off enough to keep it to herself. The only persons she'd vaguely even showed her emotions to had been her parents, and Terao whether it had been the jealousy, the envy, or the passion. Otherwise, she was often silent and to herself. She took took note of the ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
The two Ize Zume nodded at her question, but otherwise didn't say anything. They walked constantly the whole day, only stopping at Kaesu Toshi for some food around noon. The whole way down was uneventful, and after passing through a mountain range, they stopped at Beiden to rest for the night. The village was rather sm...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was silent the entire way, thoughts on almost the same path as Terao's. Wondering. Watching. Analyzing whatever it was that she could. She didn't like the way things were headed and she wasn't sure how things would turn out. She didn't like that. Yune was a sure woman, as sure of herself and her abilities as any s...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Mitsu used his dragon tattoo to make a bonfire with the wood they were able to find, and they were sitting around it for a while, mostly meditating. Terao was lost in his thoughts, but it wasn't long before he left to sleep. He needed a clear mind, and right now, it definitely wasn't clear. He woke early the next morni...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She had spent a good amount of time outside before she sought rest for the evening. She was already seated outside, deep in thought when Terao emerged in the morning. Trying to center herself and keep her emotions where they belonged, in hiding. Her duty and her honor as a samurai one of her top priorities. She didn't ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was outside, and she was being quiet, so he didn't disturb her as he went into his meditation. They were met soon by the Ize Zume, and they slowly packed up before moving along. If they were lucky, they would be able to make it to the wall, and then it would only be a few miles to their destination. Hopefully soon...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune followed along after them as the group broke camp and continued on their journey to the shadowlands. If they were diligent and lucky, they might actually reach their desired destination. She was getting the same sense as Terao, that suddenly everything around them was so anti climactic. Everything was going to cha...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was more than watchful for any ambushes or attacks. However, his hands were far enough away from his blades that he looked careless, though he could draw them faster than Yume could at her current range. HE was that dedicated to his family Daisho. It was near sunset, moving faster than they had yesterday, that th...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She couldn't help but feel a little more at ease once they reached Kamisori sano Toake Shiro. They would rest here and upon the morrow, she was sure that they would be going into battle. How was one supposed to feel before such a day? A day when one could die? Yune wasn't sure, but she wasn't about to let her apprehens...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao had beelined to his room and took off his daisho, putting them up where they wouldn't be kicked around. He stretched, sitting down for a moment to take a deep break, getting a feel of his surroundings. He knew that the Shadowlands were close to their location, hardly a mile, if that. Tomorrow, they would be in a ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Her eyes had shut sometime after she'd reclined but they opened as the heard the paper door to her sliding shut. She rolled onto her side to face him, holding his hands in return as he took them in his. "I'm glad you came, Terao," she said just as softly, her affection for his visible in her dark eyes. It felt like for...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He smiled as he heard her, feeling her fingertips against his cheek. His head turned, gently kissing the tip of every finger before he slowly moved, so he was on the bed, leaning over her. He kissed her, a light brush of his lips against hers, before he peeled off his armor, letting it drop to the floor. His fingers we...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune couldn't help the soft shiver as he turned his head and kissed each of the fingertips of her right hand. She smiled. Then his lips were on hers and she gladly returned the gentle brush of them. He peeled off his armor and allowed it to fall, before leaning down and gently caressing his fingers across her cheek and...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He felt along every smooth line and surface for a moment before leaning forward again, kissing her deeper, more passionate. It wasn't in him to hold back, no matter what it was he was doing. And he was sure that she knew that better than anyone. He untied his kimono, letting it fall open but hang on his shoulders. He n...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Just as Terao wasn't one to hold back, as she knew so well, she wasn't one to do as such either. She made a soft sound of awe as he untied his kimono and let it hang open. He was no less stunning as the fist time he'd come to her. She smiled and ran her hands over his chest, returning the deep, passionate kiss he was b...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Her body was a magnificent thing, the brief touches also getting him firm, slightly getting rubbed by her thigh as her leg moved against his. He let out a soft moan against her lips from just how needy he was, how much he needed this, needed her, like they were now. He broke the kiss after a moment, and he shifted his ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune couldn't help the soft moan as he began to kiss down her youthful body, toned from practice and study like his own. Terao shifted his weight and slid his hand to her ample right breast, weighing it, touching it, caressing it, before teasing the tip with his thumb. She moaned softly from that alone, shifting into h...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He was being slow with this on purpose, wanting this to be a special thing, a long and loving time together making love. His tongue teased the peak of her left breast before kissing over to her right one, doing the same to that one. His left hand slid down her side, before eventually following the V of her hip to her c...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
The attentions to her breasts with his lips and tongue, only served to stroke her fire higher. Making her more accepting in her core, of him and the act that the two of them wanted to partake in. If she could, she wanted to remain in the arms of her ex rival and now, her love. There was no telling what daybreak would b...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
His mouth teased her breast for only a moment longer before letting it go, going up to her lips and kissing her, a very deep kiss of passion that he only would give to her. His tongue flicked her lips teasingly, teeth gently tugging on her lower lip. His fingers were slowly stroking, teasing her clit and core, but soon...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She returned the heated and deep kiss with one of her own, one, she too, would only ever give to Terao. Her hips could not help but lift her core into his hand as he caressed her. She moaned and accepted each caress with a shudder of her body. Before long, he pulled his hand from her. Then his weight was pressing her l...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He felt her grip him tight, and he let out a long moan against her lips as his hips slowly pumped him in and out of her tight folds. His arms held her to him, wrapping loosely around her as his lips danced over hers, passionate kisses. "Yume..." He whispered out in a moan as he couldn't hold his hips back, moving at a ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She shuddered in pleasure as he moaned her name, the act somehow pleasing and meaningful. She set her legs astride his hips and moaned, moving with him even as he wrapped her in his arms. Yune knew she would be forever consumed by him, of that she no longer had any doubt that, with the change over the horizon she was i...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She pulled him deeper and deeper, hot, velvet folds gripping and caressing his length as he held himself in her, thrusting at a fast pace, her hips moving against him as well. He moaned against her skin, his eyes closed as he imagined their future. There was turbulence for the next day, but they would make it through. ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
This was only a side of him, of this formabidle samurai, that Yune, and her alone, could see. And experience. And for Terao, this passionate creature, writhing beneath him in pleasure, only he would ever see this. Ever see this side of Yune. He pushed her higher, pushed into her fast now, working her, working them both...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was going faster, feeling her legs wrapping more around him, feeling how close she was and noticing he was as close as she was, linked as they were. He hadn't payed attention to that though, her needs put before his own. His kisses held him captivated to her, tracing over soft skin and her sweet lips. Soon, he re...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Just as he clutched to her, she in turn clutched to him as he thrust into her fast, pushing her high and quickly over the edge. She cried out and arched into his embrace, his kisses, as her release rushed through her. She shuddered in his arms, juices coating him even as he spilled his seed into her. Yune fell back, st...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He held himself inside her for a long while, panting as he got her energy. Though, when he heard her words, he smiled, kissing her lightly. "And I love you, Yume." He whispered, nipping at her lip. He held her for a while, before he did pull out, with a groan. "Sadly, I must sleep in my own room. I cannot be far from m...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Her heart swelled when he returned her feelings. She returned his kiss, sad to see him go but she knew that he was right. Until they were wed, it was improper, as much as she wanted him to stay. She pulled her kimono shut as he moved to the door and gave him a soft smile. "Sleep well, Terao, goodnight," she said in res...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He smiled at her words, and he made his way to his room. He slept rather well for once in this trip. The morning came early, and he meditated first thing, before getting his blades and heading off. A quick breakfast before they were getting into ranks. What they were going to do was going to be dangerous. There was peo...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune awoke feeling refreshed and content, despite what loomed on the horizon. She fixed her attire, re did her hair, and slid her daisho back onto her waist. They were given a somewhat hasty breakfast before they all gathered and, really, there were a great number of warriors among them. This only helped push her anxie...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Hiro Yokuno, the Crab Clan Champion, was standing in front of the group. He was slowly looking over everyone, the Jade Hand slowly flexing. There were Hiruma scouts going through the people, giving them little pieces of jade on a string for a necklace, and Terao put it around his neck. He knew how important the jade wa...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune was one of the silent ones, gratefully taking the necklace with the Jade shard, tying it around her neck securely. She listened intensely and simply, inwardly, nodded when they found out what it was exactly that they were doing. So, her sense hadn't been off. This was a very important battle, and one she couldn't ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was more worried about what Iuchiban could do where he was than what he would do in Rokugan at the moment. Iuchiban was a powerful Shugenja, and a master at the katana. If he was revived, he could use his magic at afar, coating all of Rokugan without even leaving his own Tomb. But there had to be something else i...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune's thoughts were quickly following the same path as Terao's and she wanted to know why it was that reviving such a person was happening. What could really being going on beneath the surface? What ever it was, they had to stop it. She wasn't going to give herself any other option in the matter. Her thoughts were dis...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao was about to say something else when the two Ize Zume approached them. "We are about to set out on the march." Terao nodded, then everyone in the group started their way across the Shadowlands. It would take a hours time, and luckily there were no creatures in front of them. They soon reached the edge of the tomb...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao looked like he was going to say something else, but then the Ize Zume were telling them it was time to go, so she nodded and followed after them. She was silent a good portion of the way, centering herself, preparing herself. When they stopped at last at the edge of the tomb, she looked at Terao and saw him smili...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
He nodded, slowly drawing his blades out, and turned to where Hiro Yokuno was, waiting for the order. After a moment, Yokuno nodded, and everyone charged over the rocks, charging towards the Maho Tsuni. The dark mages saw them coming, and started doing their spells, but weren't able to use them fast enough. Some of the...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
She had her blades drawn, waiting for the signal before she dashed on quick feet to approach the mages. She was faster than them, in casting their magics, and she was taking them down with her Katana and Wakazashi, sometimes trading blows as they tried to fight her off. Her eyes found Terao, wondering what it was that ...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Terao and Yokuma got into the inner sanctum of the tomb, and Terao was shocked at what he had seen. There was a group of the Maho Tsuni in a circle, chanting, and in front of their very eyes, there was a flash, and in the center of the circle stood Iuchiban. The Bloodspeaker stretched very little, his head instantly tu...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Yune fought off as many off the enemy units as she could, helping her fellow samurai as she tried to follow the same path Terao has taken to the more, inner part of the enemy line. He'd disappeared from her line of vision a little bit ago and she couldn't help but be worried about him. Though, this warred with the more...
The Rokugani Way (me and Anjeru)
Iuchiban and Terao were slowly studying each other as they circled one another. Terao would match this to iajutsu if it wasn't for the constant moving that they were doing. He knew that he was at a terrible disadvantage in the fight. Iuchiban was a greatly trained swordsman even before becoming a Bloodspeaker so many y...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
A cold wind whipped against the trees with an astonishing strength, sending most inhabitants of a village in the North of France to cover in the local tavern or the comfort of their houses. The rain fell heavily upon the ground, announcing an imminent arrival of the winter. In the shadows, however, stumbled a frail sil...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
Covered in thick hair of many colors molten brown, the Beast edged into the room, growling at the scent of a second intruder. He spotted her and was shocked by her beauty... It enraged him even futher then her intrusion. That such a creature, so full of every bit the appearance he would desire in a woman would never fe...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
The woman gasped softly as she heard a growl, the male having startled her. Belle's father's eyes appeared to say: 'I told you so,' as he watched the creature. He was afraid, yet it was most likely not due to the Beast's appearance, but to the fact that he acted as though he could devour them at any moment. Belle's fat...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
"Your father is my prisoner. He intruded in my home and made himself welcomed without even seeking the master of the home!" he exclaimed, appalled that they both lacked the ability give a man a moment's peace! Especially a man so close to failure that more and more recently he had been preparing for what he would do wh...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
''I beg your forgiveness, sir, yet I doubt that my father was in any condition to seek the master, although he is sorry for behaving so rudely,'' she stated, taken aback by how cold hearted the beast was. Her father clearly needed help, it justified the intrusion in her eyes. ''I equally thank you for your grace, but p...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
"You would trade places with him? If I keep you here, you are never leaving, you understand that, right? You will never go home. I will send him back, but on the condition that you must stay with me forever!" exclaimed, looking wild in unexplainable emotion that he would have described as hope, the first hope he'd had ...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
Belle listened to the words, only then realizing the weight of her offer. Her life would be lost to the beast, 'forever'. Perhaps the forever will be brief, she told herself, inwardly nodding. Whichever way it would be, she did not hesitate for a long time. ''Yes, I will trade places with him,'' she replied, resolute. ...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
"I will see it it that he makes it safely back to your village," he informed, gesturing for the old man to walk out of the dungeon and out of the room so that he could speak with his daughter. "You will remain as a guest in this house, you have full reign of it, anywhere except the west wing,, that is strictly forbidde...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
The girl watched her father leave, briefly wrapping her arms around the man before he left her life for what seemed to be forever. She then turned to the beast, arching an eyebrow when she had gotten informed that she was a guest at the frightening castle. ''T thank you,'' she mumbled with uncertainty, watching awkward...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
The beast gave her a sarcastic reply of, "Sit and look pretty," before glaring at her and explaining, "You are now a guest in my house and will be treated as such. If you follow my rules, your stay here will be enjoyable, despite it's limitations. Have you any questions or any needs you'd like to now share?" His tone w...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
Belle was tired of the man's attitude, his anger and coldness were clearly caused by something other than mere anger of them intruding. Heck, he couldn't keep a person away forever for simply walking into his house. ''None, sir,'' she replied coldly, almost citing the words through her teeth. A part of her was raging, ...
[Racheal and Tainted] The Beauty & The Beast
The Beast excited the room and immediately spotted the two standing there, feeling a rage of anger and jealously for their simple, honest caring towards one and other. "Be gone Old Man, be gone from my house, did I not order you to leave?" he raged towards the old man, pointing to the door. "A coach will take you home ...

"You will have your own room, in the south wing near the library and a set of keys to both, for your study and privacy," he replied. "Would you rather I show you to your room?

"You think there needs to be a princess in every castle? What, next you'll be thinking there needs to be a prince as well!" he exclaimed, laughing rather loudly at the idea."No, there are no 'royalty' to speak of left in this home.
