Diamond asked for the mango flavored ice cream, but she forgot about what kind of cone she wanted or if she wanted it in a dish. She had pondered about this talking out loud once again, but she decided to go with the dish, it would be less messy and wouldn’t get on her dress. Diamond smiled happily as she walked towards one of the tables to sit down and enjoy. The first taste is always the best.
———————————————————————————————————-
Ruby stalked her way over to the guy, and looked at him more closely, if she drew blood, more then likely the spirit would sense it and it would come and fight. Her fur stood on edge, she never did this type of thing, it bothered her, this must be the switch from good to neutral spirits. But then again it was obivious she was switching her dark fur represented that. Just as the guy was about to order, Ruby quickly bit the boy praying that nothing bad would happen. Diamond would definatly leave if he made a commotion.
“Ow! Damn little wolf! What was that for?” He yelled drawing in the attention of everyone in the store. At first he didn’t care but then he realized that he probably looked crazy, “Sorry everyone, I was practicing for my audition. Was it good?” Anyone that knew him could tell that his smile and laugh were fake, but it still got a few people to clap somehow. At least he was a good liar. Taking his ice cream, he walked over to the girl ignoring the wolf but giving it a sideways glance, “Hi, I’m Tetsuya, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
~~~
Odin had in fact sensed a Guardian hurting Archer, but it wasn’t a discommon occurence. He could handle himself if it were a regular spirit. It didn’t seem evil either so it wasn’t much to worry about. And as strange as it was to her, it almost felt like the same aura that came from the girl they had seen earlier.
The evil spirit next to her spoke at last, “Why are you fixing the flowers?”
She looked at him trying to figure out if she wanted to answer, “Because they look so pretty when they are in bloom.”
“But they’re half dead anyway, shouldn’t you just leave them alone to rot? What’s the point?”
This hurt her a little, she loved plants more than anything, possibly even Archer, but their relationship was strange for a Guardian. “They make me happy. You should always go out of your way to be happy if it’s what feels right to you.”
The other Guardian got confused, “So that means I should save the little master from mobsters if they are attacking him?”
“Of course! Don’t you love him?”
“He made me angry so I left him to get punished, I didn’t care if he died so I came here. But I guess I do love him… can you help me?”
ooc: OMG I’M DYING OF LAUGHTER !!! that last sentence was hilarious it was a contradiction!! and if the master dies so does the guardian btw or they become deamons =P more of my i forgot to mention items =P
Diamond noticed a strange dog like appearance bit the guy, but then it shortly vanished as she saw it get kicked in the air. Diamond was slightly nervous and scared now, what was that? she thought just as the same man came by her and introduced himself. “Um…” she said and got up, leaving the ice cream on the table, “I have to go” she said and quickly jogged out of the store. ————————————————————————————————————-
Ruby tasted some blood in her mouth and she spatted it out, not noticing Diamond had run off. Dam i drew blood she thought to herself, she felt her muscle tense. she stood up and saw some of the foxes staring at her, one even had the guts to come over to her “Hey what was that for?” said the fox, ruby just stared at her, her pretty white coat was beautiful, memories of Ruby’s white coat appeared in her mind, jealouse and depression entered her emotions and quickly snapped at the fox, “None of your business” she said and then looked over to see Diamond. Her heart dropped as she couldn’t see her anywhere.
“Well that’s not very good, I scared her off… and what was with that wolf anyway? Did I do something wrong?” Archer mumbled to himself and then walked out of the store trying to not look like a pedophile to everyone in the store. There went his reputation for the day, hopefully it wouldn’t be a big deal because he wasn’t likely to go home soon. The ice cream tasted great! The way it melted in his mouth was perfect, and when he bit into the cone, oh god! it was dreamy. Strange enough, the garden was empty; Odin couldn’t be seen, “Odin? Where are you?”
~~~
She followed the evil Guardian a good distance away from her garden area, hopefully this wasn’t some sort of trap, otherwise she’d have to hurt someone and that wasn’t her favorite subject. The spirit called itself Appa, it looked like a monkey. It seemed strange to Odin how the Guardian didn’t care if it’s master was hurt, or killed for that matter.
Diamond caught her breath near a park just a few minutes away from the the ice cream shop. She hid behind the middle tree and collasped on the grass. Whats wrong with me? she thought staring up into the leaves, why am i shaking so badly and feel seperated from the world right now…. Her breathes become regular and a slight breeze made its way through her hair. ——————————————————————————————————
Ruby ran out of the store and down the street, the faint trace of Diamonds soul was all she was following. “Why is her soul so weak?” she said outloud, “I don’t understand!” tears began to forum on her eyes, as she ran towards the park spotting the man who she had bite. At the moment however, she realized that the man had seen her back in the store. So she stopped short of him, staring at him, maybe he would see her again, or maybe it was like Diamond’s case and he wouldn’t.
ooc: reason why ruby is not stable at the moment is because of Diamond, Diamond is tugging at her depression which makes Ruby act more aggresivly and she is getting confused, after all they are both young =P
OOC: That’s cool, in my Guardian case, they have a strong bond and feel the same way about most things in life making them stronger.
Archer looked down at the wolf a little ways away, “I still don’t know why you bit me by the way. It was rude.” He always played the innocent card with spirits that played tricks on him, it seemed to work best; it made him seem weak too. “You haven’t seen my Guardian have you? She’s a tree… I let her play in here but for some reason I can’t find her. Odin never wanders off.” Archer didn’t exactly notice that when he was speaking he did it mostly to himself. The wolf probably thought he was going senile in an early age.
~~~
Odin saw a boy being tied up to a chair when they reached their destination. Her anger was already rising but she stayed hidden for now to see what would happen; the second they hurt anyone she would be over there fast as lightning. But for some reason she felt as though the evil spirit was keeping something from her.
Ruby stared at him some more like wolves naturally do, but she spoke up after he seemed done talking about little things that didn’t concern her. “Rude…” she said simply and then felt Diamond’s strong presence nearby her ears perked up and she quicky ran over to the tree, she began to wag her tail as she saw Diamond sitting their Diamond I missed you, I promise I won’t leave your side again she thought in her head, which was the naturally connection between guardian and human.
——————————————————————————————————-
Diamond could hear a guy talking nearby, he said some strange things, she peeked behind the tree to see the same guy. She stiffened, is he stalking me? she quickly hid back behind the tree, bringing her knees and legs up to ther chest. Then suddenly she felt relieved as she started to pray.
“Hey wolf kid. You like ignoring me huh? Tell your master that I’m sorry for scaring her off like that, I didn’t mean to. I’ll see you around all right? I think my Guardian is in trouble.” Archer finally sensed Odin location and he sprinted off in that direction, she never did this why was she right now?
OOC: By the way, I came up with a plot xD it’s SO anime style lol
~~~
The man began punching the boy; his stomach, face, arms, everything. She stormed up there about to show them the wraith of Odin before everything went black and she couldn’t see anything. What was going on? The evil Guardian began to laugh, “I knew she would fall for the trick! Now we caught a powerful spirit! Kuji will be pleased to hear this.”
Ruby looked at him as he ran off “trouble?” she said slowly it didn’t concern her, she looked at Diamond who was now staring at the guy who was leaving. He needs to learn how to talk to himself…. ————————————————————————————————————
Diamond was shocked as he kept talking to himself about his audtion or whatever he had said earlier “Guardian in trouble?” she repeated him What’s going on? she said feeling some sort of adventure. She started walking towards the park entrance to see where he had gone.
She saw him quickly run down the street, she could never catch up to him, being so weak. Suddenly her phone went off in her purse. She quickly grabbed it and looked at it, it was her mom. Diamond quickly flipped the phone on, “Hello, Mom” she said
“Diamond, your work just called, they said you were suppose to be in 10 minutes ago”
“Oh my gosh I forgot!” she yelled, “Bye” and she hung up the phone and ran the opposite direction of the guy. She totally forgot about him now.
It wasn’t exactly clear to Odin what was going on, but she knew one thing for sure: someone was collecting Guardians for some reason. She had been done talking for the day, it was already too much with the evil Guardian; and as it turns out, Appa really was evil. Maybe it was for money or something, but how could a human make a profit from Guardians? Beside, Odin thought to herself, I could break out of this blanket-like think if I need to. But Archer is on his way here… so I’ll let him have the fun this time.
“Odin!” Archer shouted from behind the thugs who were kidnapping his best friend and Guardian, “Take your hands off of her!” Several people laughed and at first it he couldn’t figure out why. But it was obvious when Appa said it.
“You’re her master? That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! A male with a female Guardian, it’s perfect!”
The now angry Archer positioned himself for a fight, “Give her back or you’ll be sorry!”
Diamond ran to the bus stop, unforuntly she missed the bus and now had to wait 10 maybe 15 minutes till the next one arrived, maybe even an hour. She dialed on her phone and called her work.
“Hello this is Animal Resuce how may I help?” said a women’s voice
“Sarah!” Diamond said, “This is Diamond, I’m so sorry, but I just missed my bus, so I don’t know how much longer it will be till I’m their”
“Ah Diamond, well, Tyler is mad enough as it is and has started to feed the animals, you’ll probably be stuck with cleaning them tonight” she said giggling
“Please tell him I’ll be their as quickly as I can”
“Yes, fine, anything else?”
“No…good-bye” Diamond hung up first, she didn’t like Sarah very much.
————————————————————————————————————-
Ruby followed behind Diamond, she could feel the tension in the air with Diamond’s conversation. Sarah… ruby thought, just to add to the pressure that already exist, how annoying. Ruby looked around, hardly nobody around the area, Strange… Ruby thought, but took for granted how not even a single demon was present. Maybe if she had recongized that, maybe Ruby would have been slightly worried and more alert then she already was. But instead she laid on the ground underneath the bench under her master and waited for the bus to come.
The thugs turned and faced Archer, fists pumping blood fast, ready for the little kitten to pounce. Had he not won a championship in Kendo, he might have felt threatened. Taking up the nearest object he could use as a weapon, Archer charged at his opponents beating them down until they were unconscious. If there were any more than five he might’ve been in trouble, it probably helped that they didn’t have much experience in fighting. “Now I told you to let her go you little Imp, you best do as I say!”
“Y-y-yes! O-o-of course! Right away,” the spirit stuttered.
Although he took off the cloak from Odin and allowed her to walk away, something didn’t feel right, like he had another trick up his sleeve or something. “Who are you working for?” The boy, who now wasn’t tied up to the chair (as it turns out no one actually hit him), stood up and slowly strode over.
It took about 45 minutes to reach the zoo as Diamond walked in she saw her boss, feeding the nearby monkies. She sighed and walked up to him. “I’m sorry I’m late” she said softly. Tyler looked at her “I heard from Sarah…this is your last warning, Diamond, I don’t care how rich or powerful your father is, I’ll fire you the next time your late” Diamond bowed “I understand, thank you”.
Tyler shrugged, “Go start cleaning up the cages” he said and Diamond quickly rushed out toward the wolves, she loved wolves. ————————————————————————————————————-
The bus had been empty the entire ride, so Ruby took advantage of this and looked out the window, watching as they drove. Strangely enough she felt two spirits die on their way to the zoo. All guardian had this sense, after all it is said that all souls are connected with each other. At least its far away Ruby thought and then curled up against Diamond.
Once they reached the last bus stop, Diamond had quickly sprinted to her car and jumped in. Ruby jumped into the back seat, fading through the door. They drove about 10 minutes up the road and finally arrived at the zoo. Ruby liked how desolate it was up here. Not a lot of deamons and plenty of nice spirits that roamed around. Once Diamond parked, she had quickly grabbed her clothes and ran to the bathroom to change. Ruby took this chance to explore the surrounding, nothing ever bad happened in this area.
Regardless of the fact Archer said he wouldn’t be home early that day, he was. A lot of things needed thinking about; that boy, he’s the son to Kuji, one of the most powerful business owners in the entire world. He build his company up since he was only sixteen and it was now a major influence in the world. “Damn… what’ll we do about this Odin? He’s stealing Guardians for who knows what?”
ooc: i know this sounds dumb but…what foreshadowing??????????????? what part of it is foreshadowing i mean (this is how i fail english class btw)
Diamond enjoyed her self working with the wolves, they were actually like big dogs to her, they never growled or threatened her, but strangle the lions, panthers, and other cat like creatures hated her, and she never knew why. As she finished up the wolf cage she said good-bye to them and continued on with the other animals, the other cages would be quicker then 30 minutes. she enjoyed this work, oddly enough. —————————————————————————————————————
Ruby had talked to the wolves before Diamond showed up, they said they wouldn’t harm her, like normal and said to stop coming to check up on them to make sure. Ruby just laughed it off and walked away, as Diamond started her cleaning process. She headed to the other animal pens, and then found herself laying at the front entrance of the zoo to be sun bathe. But a few minutes later, a small kid and a lady appeared in the front of the zoo. “Oh know are we late again?” she said sadly and then looked at the time
“Mom are we going?” the young boy said as he stared at her
“No…tomorrow?” she said but the boy started pitching a fit about it. Ruby say the young boys spirit, a small ferret, it was neutral. Already…ruby thought as she stared at the guardian trying to cheer him up, but he isn’t even worried about me. Ruby smiled a wolf smile and then looked at the human like appeareance of her guardian. OOh that rare! she said as she looked at the women spirit who was also trying to comfort the sadden mother. “I guess I should help” Ruby said softly and then stood up, “Try to keep them here, I’ll see what I can do!” she yelled back running off toward’s Ruby.
