A reunion (Seiko and Takara)

Post by **xoxCharliePacexox** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 1:38 am

Ok this is my story of Seiko being reunited with his best friend Takara. They went their separate ways when he left Kuro island to join the wizard air force and Takara left to travel. I haven’t officially joined Takara into the deep forest yet, but I will do soon. This basically is what happens before the joining post (which will be most likely in the next month or so.) But hey, I’d appreciate it if you guys could tell me what you think of her. (This is the first instalment, there will be more ^_^) 
 
Here are some images of Takara; some of you may well recognize her ^_^

A gentle wind rippled through the trees of the Deep Forest. Their great branches swayed as if moving to a non-existent melody, causing the occasional leaf to fall slowly. The only light that entered the forest came from the moon as its silvery light dappled the forest floor. There wasn’t a sound, not a movement, nor any other sign of life that evening; however that was soon to change. The forest had a deep magic, more powerful than any creature within its boundaries, and this magic could do both great good and great evil. But tonight it decided to do one great good in particular; it had chosen to reunite two lost friends… 
 
Standing at the edge of the Deep Forest, Takara hitched her bag further up her shoulder and sighed with relief. She had been walking for most of the day through a barren desert wasteland, wondering if she would ever find a change of scenery. On her travels she had encountered many different terrains, but if there was one that she detested the most, it was the desert. No water for miles, just gritty sand and a few random cacti, which of course were of no use to her. Takara’s mouth was dry, her body was tired, and she needed somewhere to stay for the night. It was a little strange to the girl that such a lush green forest could grow on the edge of such a dry terrain. However Takara was glad to finally get a chance to leave the desert, and so made her way swiftly into the looming darkness of the trees. 
 
At 23, Takara was now no longer a girl, but a beautiful young woman. Her deep-pink hair was sleek and long, falling elegantly down her face. It was tied up in a pony tail with a pale pink ribbon, two pointed cat-like ears extending upwards. The ears weren’t actually real, they were merely cleverly formed by the way she had tied the ribbon. But they were cute all the same, and gave a misleading impression that she had real cat ears. Takara’s eyes were a deep honey/gold, set into her elegant heart-shaped face. She wore a sleeveless white shirt, lined with a pale magenta. The neck of the shirt was high and stood straight around her neck, with a triangular cut off at the front, just above her chest. Her three-quarter length trousers were also white and magenta lined, with a pair of pink trainers to match the look. Around her waist was tied a rose pink fleece, which she very rarely actually wore. 
 
For three years now, Takara had been traveling to many different places, exploring new terrains and meeting new friends. But there was one friend whom she hadn’t seen yet, and she missed him incredibly. His name was Seiko Tamai, and they had been best friends since they met on Kuro Island 15 years ago. He had been a student to her father Kazuo, who was a teacher of martial arts on the island. Takara had met Seiko when he started taking extra lessons in martial arts. He wasn’t very good at it at all. Takara smiled softly as she remembered their first meeting. 
 
<hr /> 
 
“Ooof!” Seiko hit the floor with a thud as he tripped over his feet once again. Kazuo shook his head and sighed, folding his arms as he looked down at the blonde 10 year old. “How many times must I tell you Seiko? Be mindful of your surroundings.” Seiko blinked and stood up, brushing dust off his clothes. “Surroundings?” He echoed with a tone of disbelief. “Sensei I tripped over my feet.” 
 
Kazuo laughed and nodded his head. “Yes, that’s what I mean. You’re not up in the air now Tori, you have to be aware of where your feet are.” Seiko scowled as his sensei called him 'bird'. The young wizard had enough taunts of that nature at school. It upset him that the one tutor he actually liked and looked up to, was mocking him. 
 
Kazuo noted his pupil’s dark look, and the amusement left his face at once. He knew very well the kind of discrimination the raven-wizard recieved, and immediately felt guilty for refering to him as he had. The teacher's gold eyes shone kindly, and he placed a gentle hand on Seiko's shoulder. “Forgive me Seiko, it was unkind of me to call you that.” The boy looked up at him with sad smile, and Kazuo smiled softly. “Why don’t we finish the lessons for today?" He suggested in a quiet tone. "You’ve worked hard and deserve a break. Put your shoes on, and I’ll have my daughter bring in some dinner.” 
 
Seiko bowed, his face considerably brighter, and he walked over to where his shoes were. He sat down and quickly pulled them on, thankful that there was at least one person who liked him. He pushed his meduim length blonde hair away from his face and stood up, just as Kazuo’s daughter walked in with their meals. Seiko's blue eyes widened slightly, he hadn’t seen a girl his age before, the academy was only for boys, and the only women were either the cooks or the tutors. 
 
The daughter was two years younger than Seiko, wearing a white silk outfit and a ribbon in her deep pink hair. The ribbon formed two points atop her head, making Seiko think at first that she had cat ears. Her eyes were a deep honey/gold, and as she looked at him intently, they glinted in the setting sunlight. Seiko stood straight and blinked, quiet taken back by the appearance of this new girl. 
 
Kazuo laughed deeply, and picked up a bowl of rice and chicken. He kissed his little daughter on her head, and then looked to Seiko. “I’m going to eat in my study, why don’t you two stay in here? Get to know each other?” Seiko nodded nervously, he didn’t really feel comfortable being in a room with a girl, but he wasn’t about to refuse from his sensei. As Kazuo smiled inwardly and left the room, the young wizard walked slowly over to the table where the girl stood. She smiled softly at him as she poured soup into a bowl and then passed it to him. 
 
“Hello,” she said in a sweet voice. “I’m Takara. What’s your name?” Seiko blinked and looked at the girl with baby blue eyes. “Seiko… My name’s Seiko.” He murmered softly.

(Back to present) 
 
Takara laughed and shook her head, remembering Seiko as the timid young boy, and how she had watched him grow over 15 years. To some extent the quiet and hesitant nature was still there, even now that he was an adult. But that wasn’t his fault; she knew that better than anyone. Since about the age of nine, Seiko had been subjected to relentless taunts and bullying, from both his peers and his teachers. And for what reason? Simply because he was different. Because of his natural ability to become a bird, or more specifically a raven, the poor boy had been treated as an outcast. 
 
Takara had tried desperately to defend her best friend, and tell him that he was special to be different. But every time she thought she had gotten through to him, someone else would come along and strike him down with a venomous tongue. She sighed sadly, and looked around at the huge trees which surrounded her. Personally she loved the fact that Seiko could become a bird, and remembered fondly the times when he would be in a good mood. They were rare, but at those times Takara could persuade her friend to become a raven and sit on her shoulder. She would stroke his silky feathers and smile, and though he wouldn’t admit it, she knew that Seiko had felt more comfortable then. 
 
Stretching her arms tiredly, Takara yawned revealing her sharp fangs, yet another subtle hint at her true nature. Too tired and hungry to walk any more, she sat down beneath a large tree, putting her bag beside her and stretching her legs out. The young woman ran her fingers through the long grass and looked ahead, wondering what she was going to do for her meal. She hadn’t eaten all day, and her body was growing weak from the lack of water as it was. “What is there to eat in the middle of the night?” Takara asked herself in a quiet tone. “All the birds are asleep, and there’s no sign of any water to fish in.” 
 
Suddenly a movement to her left caused her to bolt upright. As she looked towards where the noise had come from, Takara’s pupils widened to let all possible light in. She frowned and knelt up slowly, keeping her gaze direct. The girl hissed and bared her fangs warningly. Something was out there, and she wanted to know what… 
 
There was another movement, closer this time, and Takara quickly jumped to her feet. Her heart pumped hard in her chest, causing her breathing to quicken. Gritting her teeth, Takara hissed once again and put a hand on the tree trunk, ready to climb it if it were necessary. “Who are you?” She asked in a demanding tone. “Show yourself or leave.” Something growled from within the bushes, a deep rumbling growl, and Takara was startled for a moment. However she quickly composed herself and glared into the darkness. “I’m not playing games, now either reveal yourself or leave alo…” 
 
Takara didn’t finish her sentence, because at that moment the creature decided to walk out from the bushes, finally revealing itself to her. She gasped and took a step backwards, now trembling all over. It took a lot to frighten her, but there were certain things that terrified her, and they were dogs. The creature before her was an enormous black wolf, with glowing amber eyes and inch long teeth. It wasn’t taller than her when on all fours, but its entire body length would tower above her if it stood upright. Its body was huge, with rippling muscles and powerful limbs. Another deep growl rumbled from within its chest, and it bared its huge teeth dangerously. 
 
Takara gulped, her body was frozen with fear, and all she could do was look at the wolf with frightened eyes. Why did I have to open my big mouth? She thought to herself. I should have climbed the tree when I had the chance. Her entire body trembled with fear, her mind dreading what the wolf was going to do next. 
 
Sensing her fear, the animal seemed to grin evilly and snarl. It crouched its body down and tensed its muscles, ready to strike. Takara knew exactly what was going to happen now, but she still couldn’t move. “Please, please don’t…” She whimpered at the wolf. But her plea fell on deaf ears, the wolf was hungry, and Takara would make a tasty meal. 
 
With one final growl, the wolf leapt up, extending its huge legs to pounce on the terrified girl. Unluckily for him though, Takara had finally found her feet. She screamed and ran away from the wolf as it pounced, moving hurriedly behind the tree. Her eyes were wide with panic as she tried to think. But she was so terrified that she didn't even consider transforming into her cat form, which in reality was nearly the size of the wolf. Whenever she came into contact with dogs, Takara's mind could only think of one solution, and that was to run... 
 
Shaking its fur, the wolf growled angrily and padded slowly around the tree. When Takara came into its sights once more it snarled and pounced again. The girl screamed and fled, running as fast as her legs would carry her away from the wolf. Her heart thudded in her chest, and her breathing was harsh and shallow as she gasped for air. She could hear the wolf running close behind her, and tears welled in her eyes. She was terrified, and still couldn't think to transform. Suddenly her foot caught on a tree root, and with a sickening crack her ankle broke. Takara gasped in pain and fell to the ground. She clambered into a seated position and cradled her broken ankle, wincing in pain as she tried to move it. 
 
The wolf stopped a meters from where Takara sat, and it snarled. Now that the girl was unable to walk, she would be an easy catch. Its feet twitched, and its tail raised as it barked loudly. Takara screamed and curled up into a ball, whimpering and mewing in both pain and fear. All she could do now was sit there helplessly and wait for the great animal to get her. Tears streamed from her eyes as she realized that she would never see her father again. She would never see Seiko again… 
 
The wolf growled evilly and began to move slowly forward, causing even more terror to course through Takara’s body. She shook her head and screamed at it. “If you’re going to kill me then kill me!” Her heightened voice made the wolf snarl, and he began to bound forward at a faster speed. Takara screamed and closed her honey eyes, waiting for the inevitable to come. 
 
Suddenly though, she heard a bird-like screech, and opened her eyes once more. She gasped as the air above her head whistled, and something slammed into the wolf, causing it to fly across the forest floor and thud to the ground. Now what? Takara dared to look up at whatever had thrown the wolf, her eyes shining with tears. She was half expecting this creature to want to eat her as well. 
 
The creature that stood before her had a humanoid body, except that it was far from human. The entire body was covered in deep blue/black feathers that shone in the moonlight. A large feathered tail extended from the base of the creature’s spine, and its feet were taloned bird claws. Two enormous wings extended from the creature’s shoulders, and its long arms ended in long sharp nails. Takara’s heart pounded in her chest, but this time it wasn’t because she was scared. Her honey eyes looked into the face of the creature as it looked at her, and she gasped as she saw his deep black hair and startling blue eyes. 
 
“Seiko…” She murmured softly, hardly able to believe her eyes.

Seiko’s eyes widened slowly, and he turned his tall body to face the pink haired girl. “Takara?” He said deeply, a hint of disbelief in his tone. The wind stirred his dark hair as he gazed at her, completely speechless. For the first time in five years, the two friends laid eyes on each other. 
 
A sudden growl made Seiko flick his head round and look behind him. He was so occupied with seeing Takara again that he had completely forgotten about the wolf. The wolf’s eyes glinted angrily at the wizard who was standing in front of its meal. It snarled and snapped, trying to scare off the strange bird-like creature. Seiko narrowed his eyes and glared at the wolf, raising his wings protectively over Takara. “Leave… Now…” He said in a dangerously quiet tone. “You can’t have her…”  
 
With a furious growl, the animal raced forward, its large paws thudding the ground. It took a flying leap at Seiko, opening its jaws wide. Takara screamed out to her friend, warning him to be careful. She had only just met him again, and she couldn’t bear to see him hurt by the huge wolf. The wizard merely smirked, and as the canine approached he planted a fierce kick into its chest. Once again the wolf was thrown backwards, but not as far this time. Seiko looked back at his female friend and smiled softly. “Don’t worry Neko, I won’t let him hurt you…” Takara rolled her eyes at his use of her nickname, and smiled slightly despite her pain. “It’s not me that I’m worried about Seiko…” 
 
Meanwhile, the wolf was once again on its feet. Its hackles rose in defiance, and it puffed out the fur on its chest and tail in an attempt to make it look more imposing. Seiko sighed and folded his arms, staring angrily back. “I’m not telling you again, leave… now…” As if to prove his point, Seiko also made himself look more threatening. He raised the feathers on his body, and lifted his great wings. 
 
Takara stared speechless at her friend; she had never seen him act this way before. When they were young he had tried desperately to avoid transforming into the raven-hybrid. But now, with his confident stance and raised feathers, he had never looked more comfortable. Takara smiled softly. He’s finally accepting who he is… She thought proudly. 
 
Unfortunately, the wolf was far too hungry to give up without a fight. It made its way slowly over to Takara, choosing to ignore the feathered nuisance. Takara gasped and tried to hide behind Seiko’s wing. Seiko saw the terror that the wolf was causing his friend and his eyes blazed with a blue fire. “Takara, I need you to run. Don’t worry, I won’t let him catch you I promise…” The girl shook her head, tears welling up once more in her eyes. “I can’t Seiko, my ankle is broken… I can’t move…” 
 
Seiko looked at the advancing wolf, he didn’t have much time. Turning to Takara, he smiled softly. “It’s ok, I’ll just have to get you up into the tree. Here…” The young wizard knelt down and gently put his arms round Takara, lifting her up effortlessly. He held her close and opened his wings. They beat the air strongly and lifted the two into the air. Seiko flew up to the high branches of the tree, and gently placed Takara onto one of them. “There, are you ok?” He asked here softly. Takara moved herself so that she was comfortable and safe, then nodded to assure her friend. 
 
Seiko smiled contentedly, glad that his friend was safe. He then turned back to face the wolf on the ground, and grinned. “You sure you don’t want to leave? You can't get her now,” he asked it loudly. The wolf just barked angrily and attempted to leap at the tree. Rolling his eyes, the wizard muttered something about brain-dead canines, and then launched himself at the wolf, throwing it to the floor. His sharp talons dug into its skin as he landed on it, and his sharp nails scratched its face. The wolf snarled and bit Seiko savagely, ripping at his feathers and trying to buck him off, but the wizard was determined. Every time the wolf struggled, his large claws would dig in deeper, until eventually the canine had to give up. It stopped struggling and instead whimpered pathetically, looking pleadingly up at Seiko. 
 
The wizard didn’t delight at causing the animal pain, but it had threatened Takara. He lifted himself off the wolf and stood tall, looking at it fiercely. The animal knew better than to try and fight back again, and so with one last snarl it ran off into the bushes. Seiko sighed and rubbed his forehead, blood dripping from open wounds and feathers littered about the floor.

Takara gasped softly as she watched the struggle beneath her. The vicious wolf was tearing chunks out of Seiko’s feathery coat, drawing large amounts of blood. But still the wizard didn’t let go, his claws only dug deeper into the creature’s skin. The pink haired girl stifled a sob as she looked helplessly down at her friend. There was nothing that she could do but sit atop her branch and watch the fight continue. What have I done? Takara thought to herself in dismay. I should never have entered this forest, and then Seiko would never have gotten hurt! Then a sudden wind stirred her pink hair softly, and with it brought an end to the struggle below. 
 
Takara’s golden eyes gazed down at the scene, and she sighed with relief as she watched the wolf hurry off dejectedly. Her heart felt immediately overjoyed that the horrible creature had finally gone away. Unfortunately, the girl’s happiness was short lived, as she saw that the struggle had seriously hurt Seiko. The poor wizard looked an awful mess, his handsome blue coat was blood stained and ragged, and his sweet face had various deep scratches on it. Takara was distraught to see her friend in such a state, but she could do nothing, she was stuck in a tree with a broken ankle. “Seiko!” She cried out desperately, her gentle voice carrying in the wind. 
 
The dark haired wizard turned his head to look up at Takara worriedly, thinking that something else had gotten her while she was in the tree. He winced as the large wounds bled on his body, but he was relieved to see that Takara was ok. I have to get her down, he thought slowly, opening his wings ready to fly. “Don’t worry Takara, I’m coming…” He replied hoarsely, readying his damaged body to take flight. 
 
Takara quickly realized what Seiko intended to do, and with a gasp she shook her head furiously. “No! I’m fine where I am Seiko! You can’t fly like that, you need to heal!” She leant forward to make her point clear to the wizard, but unfortunately wasn’t looking where she was placing her hand. As she moved up to get a better view, her hand completely missed the branch, and with a squeak she fell off the branch completely. The cat girl quickly tumbled towards the floor closing her golden eyes as she readied herself for the hard floor below. 
 
But it never came, for on the ground Seiko had quickly seen Takara tumble, and had moved beneath her falling body. With a gentle thud, she fell fast into the wizard’s soft body, completely missing the floor. In his current state though, Seiko wasn’t strong enough to handle the force of Takara’s body, and his own feathered figure fell to the floor weakly. 
 
Takara opened her golden eyes gently, and with a wide eyed gaze, looked at the form beneath her. Seiko was breathing heavily, and his body jerked with pain under the girl’s weight. Takara quickly rolled herself off him, unable to stand, and positioned herself beside him. Her eyes shone with tears at the sight of her injured friend, but she kept her gaze on him loyally. “Seiko I’m so sorry,” she murmured as she stroked his dark hair. The wizard’s eyes were closed in pain, causing the tears to fall from Takara’s eyes. “This is all my fault, I should never have come here…” She said with a sob, laying her head softly on his chest.
