The Two Who Don't Belong Here

[Kurorin]

Xenocho froze. She wanted to kill him?
"Kill me already.... what are you waiting for." tears of blood ran down his cheek.
"If you wanted to kill me, you would've already done it right? Why didn't you?" he said as he caressed her cheek. His eyes turned all colors even though he couldn't see.

The blade clattered from Rin's hand. Hearing his voice had been too much for her. "I- I just can't..." she said quietly. So many lives had been ended by her hand, it had blackened her soul. She had absolved their sins into herself, and her own soul had been tainted by it. But she knew that would happen, she had been willing to sacrifice herself to purge this world. Where had her resolve gone? She pushed herself to open her eyes and look at his face, "Just tell me one thing... How many people have you killed?" She doubted that fact would make any difference, she couldn't bring herself to end his life... She was weak...

[Kurorin]

Xenocho sighed.
"A little over five hundred, only in self defence though." he said. He took the blade that she had, placing it in her hands once more and placed it against his his chest. He closed his eyes and embraced for the pain.
"I have no purpose here." he said quietly.

[silverandcold]

Rin stared wide-eyed at the blade. After a moment her jaw set. She flung the blade away, "I already told you I can't! I've killed so many... I don't know why you're different, but no matter what I do I can't bring myself to kill you..." She stood up and walked over to the lake, then slumped down by the edge. She stared into the clear water at her reflection. It seemed so dim in the shimmering water, as if mirroring her darkened existence. Had she been wrong? Her soul was worse than those she strove to end. Maybe it was not her place to kill those she deemed unfit to live... She closed her eyes and shook her head, if that was the case, what had she been living for this whole time? With her mind finally calm and set, she fell face forward into the water, and began to sink with the weight of her weapons.

[Kurorin]

Xenocho went wide eyed. He jumped to his feet and ran to the water’s edge where Rin had fallen in. he couldn’t swim but his whole family knew how to swim. Why not him? All things like that emptied out of his mind as he jumped into the water. Xenocho’s instincts kicked in as he swam as fast as he could, using his wings to propel himself in the water. He grabbed Rin around the waist and swam up but before he could, his breath ran out. He was so close to the surface. He blacked out before his body changed into his original form. He wasn’t being controlled anymore as Eryura took over. She still clung to Rin as she flew out of the water, landing on the ground as she set Rin down. Eryura dragged herself next to Rin as she collapsed. She looked at the girl for a moment.
"si ergriff saved wux vur xenocho tagoa si rigluin ekess waph vur si tuor jacion ekess qe lotoc mrith wer ir jaci itovic..."
"I only saved you and Xenocho because I need to live and I want him to be happy with the one he loves..."

There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There's a tear in my heart where the love ran out
I thought we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I'll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith-
My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through.

The moment the cold water touched Rin's face, her face set, once more filled with purpose. She had been sidetracked, but it was only momentarily. She couldn't let one man, if he truly was a man, change her destiny. Even if he seemed to be nice to her, it was only show. How many times had she been fooled by that show? Even in the farthest reaches of her mind, every memory screamed of betrayal.

One by one, the men around her fell in streaks of red. Blood flowed over the dirt more prominent than water. Her eyes shone with innocent fear and confusion. Why were these people attacking? Why were they killing everyone?

A large, gruff looking man with wicked eyes approached her, laughing maniacally. His knife was stained with blood. The young girl could back away no farther, and her tear-stained face watched him with cold terror. But then a man stepped out from the ranks of attackers, a man cleaner and much gentler than the rest. He placed a strong hand on her attacker's shoulder, and the man simply backed away. Then her savior offered her his hand, with a kind smile on his face.

The young Rin reluctantly took the hand, and relief washed over her. She was safe...

[/i]

This was her earliest memory, one which brought rage to her eyes. That man had never truly wanted to save her... No, he used her until he could gain no more. And then, when she needed him most, he left her... Abandoned her to be violated and brutally beaten by a pack of savage bandits. That had been her fate.

Her expression remained the same, motionless in the cold water, even as she felt the man's hands around her. He was no different. Every time she allowed herself to trust another, she gained more scars. She had been stupid to treat this man any differently. She pulled herself to her feet and turned to face him. "I promise you, he'll hardly be happy with me." She took a step away. "And to you, the... other you, I'll spare you because the only grudge I hold is against mankind. But do not come near me, you'll only stray me from the path I'm meant to travel."[/color]

I though we both shared the same injuries.
Now I've found it's you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold.
I know you'll pay for what you've taken - tenfold.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith-
My faith in them, they twisted the knife further in.

(wow, took you long enough to post XD And sorry if Rin seems to be a bit bipolar and messed up, she was based off of a rough collage of a couple characters in something i'm writing, so her muse is a bit... hard to deal with. Its not very consistent, to say the least)

[Kurorin]

Eryura growled at the girl.
“We call humans like you; shashti vur nurh shafaer wer crodr . Your a dirty and ugly human on the inside, only meaning to your life is to kill. You are like the Black-Backed bronze dragon. Though you may look like the normal bronze dragon, they have an attitude that sets them apart. They can never live together and they kill those they get close to. Maybe Lord Shalaneth wanted you and Xenocho together. ” with that, Eryura flew away, collapsing a few yards away.
“You are lucky I let you live. A human that slays must be slayed themselves.” she said as she let Xenocho control and go back to human form. After that, he collapsed himself. The water is his weakness.

[silverandcold]

Rin's eyes narrowed and blood dripped down her face as her teeth dug into her lip. "Tch... You know nothing about me," she said to no one in particular, "Obviously you are too ignorant to understand the evils in this world, and the burden I carry to dispose of that evil... I wont be killed by the likes of you..." The anger slowly drained from her face, leaving it emotionless as stone. Then she walked farther and farther, until she could no longer sense the boy at all. This was better for her.

[Kurorin]

Xenocho staggered to his feet.
“If you think destroying evil will help you..... then fight me.....” he yelled. His vision was blurry and he was weak and she probably wouldn't hear him.
