the start of something new (shora and nahvi

Shora was out late traveling the streets of rim. She was told by her inforument that someone was illegally moving a shipment of elixir that night. when she heard a blood curtailing scream. She took off in the direction it was coming from jumping from rooftop to rooftop as fast as she could. She was fast for a woman with that much bulk on her.

When she got to the shipping dock she noticed a red headed figure standing over her informant. She was close to the old man and owed him her life. The least she could do was bring his killer to justice. Even if it meant at the cost of her own life. She would gladly pay that price for the man who saved her life more times then she could count.

She didn't have time to cry she had to act fast sadness would only get in the way. There would be time to mourn later but for now avenging the old man would have to do. she took a soundless breath as she wiped away the tears that started to flow. She then took a running jump and soured though the air before landing gracefully behind the person she felt did her oldest friend in. She readied her staff and pointed at the figure back.

Nahvi was busy playing with Kuzata and Zakad upon the roofs nearby. It was a simple leisure activity. She sat back while the two played a bit. Kuzata popped in and out of Zakad's fur every now and again, sometimes playfully nibbling on Zakad's ear. Zakad would raise a paw and playfully try to catch the lion cub. It was a cute game of cat and mouse they played. The night was also pretty beautiful, she sighed heavily and closed her eyes enjoying the night air. She soon heard Zakad bark and growl. It was unusual he did something of this manner. Kuzata did the same. though his was more of an adorable meow than a howl or roar like Zakad's. His roar reverberated through the area awakening people nearby. Nahvi would turn around to be face first with pointed in her general direction. Nahvi was, at odds. She couldn't draw her weapon in time and lifted her hands up into the air in surrender. Was she being robbed. If so she would have succeeded.

"Look I have no money, or anything of value! I'll give you anything you want just leave me and my animal companions alone!" with a closer look Nahvi could see the girl was distraught. She was... crying? Why was she crying? "Is... everything ok? Did something happen?"

Shora stopped for a second tears still flowing. She pointed at the old man's body jumping down for a second to pick him up. She looked at the other girl and her pets then at the old man. Then more tears flowed tears of regret for what she al most did mixed in with tears of loss. She puled out a quill and paper and wrote. "i know you didn't do this i am sorry i almost killed you thats not what he would have wanted." "someone looking like you did i should have been here sooner."  

"the name's shora what's yours?" She asked putting on a small smile even though she wanted to do anything but. The need for revenge was still there. She would catch the person who did this later. For now she wanted nothing more then to be held till  the pain went away. First her father now her father figure. She didn't know how many more people she had left in the world. She was losing people she could trust right and left.  Maybe she was gaining someone new she could trust someone she could call a friend. thats what she needed right now.

She leaned her head on the red head and finally stopped fighting back the tears. As she wrote a song she would never be able to play.  A song she would never be able to sing. a song she hoped she would hear again but knew that day might never come. The stress of losing her old friend and of the act she almost had done was to much she lost energy and fell asleep. A sleep plagued by nightmares seeing the old man die over and over again and not being able to stop it.

"Wait someone looking like me?" 'Valuna?!'

Zakad and Kuzata would chase after the girl with Nahvi as she jumped down to view the old mans mangled corpse. 'Yeah this was Valuna's doing alright! If she killed anyone it'd be in this style.' She thought to herself. 'But why him? Was he just an innocent bystander? Did he see something he wasn't supposed to see?' Nahvi pondered this in her thoughts for a bit. Her pondering was stopped as the girl wrote an apology and cried into her chest. It must have hurt. Having someone you love killed before you. Nahvi wrapped her arms around the girl carressing her. "Shh Shh it's alright. I think I know who did this... and I will help you catch them. This person has killed someone dear to me too, and i've been trying to catch them for a while now. If you want you can travel with me. We'll find the person who did this eventually." Nahvi made it hidden that the girl was in fact her insane sister Valuna. After all the girl in her current state might curse her and her family and try to kill her. She'd only reveal to the girl the neccessary amount of information needed.

The girl would pull out a piece of paper with a song. While looking down. Nahvi would recognize the words. "I've sung this song to Diana at one time! You must want to hear it. Right?" She'd get no reply on more crying. Nahvi would give her a saddened expression and sing anyways.

The Song:

"he was there becouse i asked him to track the illegal shipment of elixir coming in and out of this port  he must have found out who was behind it and they killed him." And as for traveling with you it would be best if we traveled together." She wrote shaken as she cried.  She cried until there was no more tries left then stood up and bottled the rest inside. She then tried something she never thought she could ever do she tried to speak  what came out shocked her a whisper she whispered the words thank you old man.  The shock of being able to whisper something she was told from a young age she would never be able to do  sent her balling once more. but this time the tears were happy tears.

A smile formed on her face as tears flowed. Being able to at least whisper was for her a joyful event  Seeing the old man in such a state must have sent a shock to her brain that woke up the part of it the controlled speech. a part of her bran she was told was died in the womb. she was gonna work at it and learn to speack it might take along time but it was now one of her goals.

Nahvi looked at the girl as she sang. It seemed to only make the girl cry more, however as she finished, Nahvi saw a smile cross her face. She thought Shora was actually pretty cool now that Nahvi got to know her. This made Nahvi smile as she patted the girls head.

"You know, you should smile more. You look better when you're not crying." She chuckled a bit trying to lighten up the mood. It was the most she could do seeing as how she really had no control over the girls feelings. She stood up straight as Zakad and Kuzata approached her sides also trying to calm the crying girl down. Kuzata would climb upon Nahvi's head and then down onto her shoulder. The one eyed baby tiger would then proceed lick the Shora's face trying to wipe the tears away. Zakad however had the same idea however he was a bit bigger and more Clumsy than Kuzata. He instead whimpered and Licked Shora's face as well but his tongue covered her whole face in dog slobber, with residual saliva landing Nahvi and Kuzata.

"Zakad, haha, you silly dog. You've got to remember how big you are ya klutz." She pet both of her companions on their heads and laughed a bit. She loved them dearly. They were her companions; they understood her. She couldn't have wished for better friends. Nahvi smiled at the girl and patted her head once more.

"Now are you alright? I'm sorry if Zakad drenched you. He's very affectionate. haha!"

Shora smiles and shakes like a dog. She then turned her eyes to the paper in her hand re reading the info on it.  Her eyes grew huge with shock and she grabbed her lance "Nahvi was it? she said her voice horse form under use.  We need to get to the docks as fast as we can." She said before leaping to the next build and the next and the next her powerful halining legs moving as fast they can. She stopped when she noticed two men carrying a crate of elixir the same men she had been tracking for months now.

Nahvi Nodded. She agreed that they would need to go quickly. Climbing aboard the gigantic dog she held out her hand and with a smile she said. "Lead the way! I'll follow you!" Nahvi kept up with Shora as they hopped from roof to roof. Luckily the rooftops were close together, making it easier to traverse.

They soon arrived at their destination and kept themselves hidden from view. "I'm ready to go in when you are Shora Just give me signal.!"

((OOC: Remember there is no rush. Take your time and reread to fix spelling errors))

She nodded and gave the signal as she threw her lance down at one of the drug traffickers hitting him in the arm and pinning him to the ground she jumped on top and pulled the spear free taking his arm with it. he screamed in pain as she shook the blood off it and did a spin kick to his face before stabbing him through the neck with her spear ending his pain the look of pure rage on her face said she was in no mood to take anyone alive tonight and wanted revenge for the death of the old man.

Nahvi Watched as the girl carried out her bloody work. It was nothing Nahvi hadn't been used to seeing but it was pretty brutal the way she handled it.

"Force isn't necessary we still need information. Also we don't know who they are. They may not be bad. They may be just workers hoisting a box that they have no idea what their contents can do. Take it into account and observe actions before attacking and killing someone." Nahvi said this dotingly. She cared for the girl as if a younger sister. She wanted to make sure she wasn't killing people out of anger or on a whim.

The second man obviously frightened by the sudden attack from shora would try to run, but with a whistle from Nahvi, Kuzata jumped towards the fleeing man and lifted him by his shirt. He flailed about mid air trying to escape not wanting to meet the same fate as his friend. With that Nahvi clapped her hands together. Kuzata brought him over to the ladies at once.

"Now! First step is we open the box and look at its contents, if it's anything but what we're looking for you may have killed an innocent man, and someone could be in the same position your in. If it's not we caught a lucky break. Now!..." She turned to the man finally. "I'm not going to hurt you can't speak for this one though, but please enlighten me as to what you're doing here and who sent you to work so late at night?" Nahvi gave a creepy smile wielding the giant sword as she was interrogating the man waiting for an answer.

((OOC: I'll let you decide how the man reacts and stuff since it is your plot I don't want to screw with it. You decide whether he's evil or not. =3=))

The man smirked and knocked the sword out of navi's hand and pulled a dagger to her neck. Seeing this shora moved fast tackled the man to the ground and eyed navi with a worried look and a blush on her face. Then looked back to the man and nodes to navi to take over form there. She got up and cracked open the create and found the exilars Barily able to keep her rage in check. She stops twoard the knocked out smulger and wook him up with a slap.

She pointed to the create with anger on her face.

"Zakad! Detain!"

Zakad Flung the man who pulled the dagger to her neck towards the ground with such force it stabbed himself in the shoulder. "Behave yourself!" She said to the man as she walked towards the crate, She examined it's contents to find the elixir inside. With a darkened face she'd walk back over to the pinned man and step upon his stabbed shoulder. He was the only alive one left so she couldn't exactly kill him.

"Shora we caught your assailants it seems. You caught a lucky break. Now if he takes that dagger out of his body he bleeds to death. If he keeps it there he'll have a chance of living." Nahvi walked towards the darkness with Kuzata and Zakad, who had released the man. "I actually have to go, my mission is of the utmost importance. It seems you've got everything handled here. I'll take m y leave now." Nahvi walked off and had Zakad Sniff out Her sisters scent.

"Let's go boy, we've got a backstabbing bitch to kill!"
