Kira sat on a log beside the road, her eyes cast down. A small fire was burning away merrily a few feet in front of her and a bag was slouched against her feet. She pulled her cloak tighter around her shoulders and hunched down. She had been traveling from her village for about a week now. She hadn't seen anyone who looked like they were going to help her yet. She wondered if what she had seen was real or not. Being spoke to a god was not a common thing at all.
She moved her head a bit so she could stare into the flames. It hadn't taken her long to build it and it had been something to do, besides walk that is. With a sigh, she rummaged around in the bag at her side and pulled out a very small boiling pot she she managed to hang over the fire using some more sticks.
Having mastered hanging the pot, she filled it with water and a number of appetizing things and soon a savory smell was coming from the pot. Kira sat back and resumed thinking, her eyes cast down.

"Bleh!" He jumpped back as he stepped on something with a big smuish. He stepped on an unwary bug of unusual size. "Damn things." he wiped his shoe on the root of a nearby tree before looking out and down the dark winding road through the woods. He snarled. "That son of a !%^&. Some shortcut this is." He made a fist and pounded a tree. "Im gonna kill him." He heard a grumbling as all the travel without supplies was beginning to get to him. His stomach was groaning, and his mouth was dry. He sighed before continuing forward. "Great, at this rate Ill die in these woods before I even get there."
It was further down a few hundred yards that he rested by a tree. He sat down in a defeated manner. "Not even a squirrel to eat. This sucks." he caught a wiff of something in the air. "Great now my mind is playing tricks on me." he thought he was going crazy. "Stew... i dont even like stew... with..." he sniffed again. "....Carrots... and... wait a minute...." he got up and followed the smell. "... Beef... and .... its getting stronger." he saw a fire up ahead. He took a moment before yelling. "Im saved!" He prayed to god for this treat and swore he could hear trumpet and see angels as he broke into a run towards the fire.
With a big goofy grin on his face he jumped out into the clearing before finally noticing the hooded figure that was sitting beside it. He hesitated, staying stuck in his cheering state. He wondered what someone would be doing out here but the pot was right there, right within reach. "Umm..." he asked coyly. "You gonna eat all that?"

As Tasuki approached the fire, Kira remained seated. She wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings. A very stupid thing to do when she was by herself. She was probably falling asleep without realizing it, she was so tried.
When he came into the clearing, she looked up after a couple of seconds. She stared at first and then shook(sp?) heard. She had been too absorbed by her thoughts to immediately recognize the fact that he was real. Her expression was puzzled at first and then she smiled.
"You can have some, but it's not done yet."
She pulled the hood away from her face so she could see better. She looked around the clearing but saw no one else.
"No one else with you?"

Ardyn As Tasuki approached the fire, Kira remained seated. She wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings. A very stupid thing to do when she was by herself. She was probably falling asleep without realizing it, she was so tried. When he came into the clearing, she looked up after a couple of seconds. She stared at first and then shook(sp?) heard.

She pulled the hood away from her face so she could see better. She looked around the clearing but saw no one else. "No one else with you?" Wow... shes hot. was the first thing that came to mind. He figured he could easily take advantage of this situation. Afterall, a young blonde... alone in the woods without a strapping young man to protect her. The meeting was beginning to make this trip worth while. However while dreaming his generally preverted dreams, he realised she acctually said yes to him. It was absolutely perfect. "Ahh thanks alot. I think I can wait a bit longer. Mind if I sit here?" he didnt give her a chance to answer before sitting on the otherside the fire and allowing his sword to rest on him. "Thanks alot lady, you may have saved my life. Last time I go in the woods with empty pockets." He heard her ask him. "Nope, Im on a bit of an errand to run, dont really need to be supervised. I might ask you the same thing, why are you all the way out here? Its dangerous for anyone, let alone a pretty young thing like you."

A blush rose to her cheeks with what he said but the darkening skies hid it pretty well. She had nodded to his request to sit. With nothing to do with her hands she looked around and settled on stirring the soup. A long handled spoon had been resting by the pot and she picked this up to stir with.
"I'm out here because my god summoned me. She said to leave my village and travel to stop the evil. I would be joined by others... So I'm looking for them. I haven't seen anyone but you for days though."
She brought a spoonful of the soup out of the pot and looked at it, then put it back in the pot.
"I only have one bowl." She said, with a serious expression on her face, a slight smile still around her mouth.

She said, with a serious expression on her face, a slight smile still around her mouth. This was an answer he was not expecting. If he didnt know anybetter, he'd swear this woman was crazy, but then again, he was the one that went to the woods with no supplies so whose worse. He commented, "Your god sent you? Thats weird. Pardon me for saying but you dont look like much of a warrior. Hey maybe im one of the people you sent..." He said happily. However it soon faded. "But no god told me to go stop an ancient evil, just my boss. So maybe not. Dont worry about the soup, ill eat from the pot what you dont. I been hungry for hours, i can wait a few more minute." His mouth was beginnin to water."

Kira looked at him as she poured some of the soup into a bowl and pulled the pot off the fire for him.
"Careful it's hot..." She said as she handed it to him, her hand wrapped in cloth to keep from burning herself.
"Gods don't always talk to people directly, they sometimes use other ways. So you could be one of the people I am to travel with. You're boss could have been used by a god." She blew on her soup trying to make it cool quicker. "I'm a healer... I don't fight."

He allow the pot to rest safely on the ground between his legs before he laughed loudly at the mere thought of it. "You kidding? Sorry angelface but my boss is the most sinful son of a dog Ive ever seen." he grabs the pot from the sides and pours some into his mouth. The heat doesnt seem to affect him. "The only reason im here is because he kicked me out of my place for having this." He pointed to the sword hanging on his back. "Supposed to be cursed or something."

((Yeah, Lexa would be an okay nickname.))
"You never know..." Kira said to Tasuki before Celexa walked up.
When Celexa spoke, Kira's eyes widened in surprise and she turned to see who it was. She looked at Celexa for a moment and then smiled warmly.
"Hello... He just said curse." She said nodding towards him. "I was just about to ask what kind of curse too. Would you like to join us?"
She was happy, two people now. Maybe they were the ones to help on the quest or at least they would keep her company for awhile. She turned to look at Tasuki.
"What is the curse on the sword supposed to be?"

He turned his head and was ready to unsheath his sword when he heard something comes towards them. It was a natural defensive reaction, since they were in the middle of the wood at night time. However he clicked it back into place when he just saw another girl. He spoke in his head. Two hotties at once, in the middle of nowhere. Thank you god. He waved a hand at her and made a short. "Yo."
However his opinion for both of them seemed to drop as they each displayed an interest in curses. Tasuki had more devilish things in mind but decided it best to snicker and comment. "Well arent you two cheery ones." He unsheathed the blade and looked at the metal glisten in the fire. "I just heard it was made by a powerful demon and has an aura of evil that will supposedly devour the soul of the user so that he may suffer for all eternity... yatta yatta yatta. When you hear one curse you heard em all. So far the only thing I found weird about this thing is that Ill try to get rid of it and it just comes back to me. Yesterday, i got bored with it and sold it to some idiot, figuring that would be the best way to be rid of it once and for all. But, an hour later, i find the same guy a few feet from the road. He was dead, mauled by a bear or something. Anyway, the sword was still there and I heard growling so I grabbed it back. Sucks for him but i just think it was a coincidence."

Kouji had been on the road for several days now, seeing only the occasional merchant on the road making his months long routes from village to village to sell his wares. Over the last day he had eaten the little food he had brought and was starting to feel the twisting in his stomach that would only get worse as hunger set in.
"Some powerful warrior you are Kouji, being defeated by hunger," he cursed himself. It was already nightfall but his strong legs, even after days of travel, didn't quite need rest yet. "I wonder what kind of people these others will be. I suppose they'll be terribly powerful fighters or army veterans that can teach me some techniques I don't already know," he said aloud to himself as his feet kept up the endless walking that left each step faded from memory just as soon as the next one came.
Rounding a gentle bend in the road, Kouji stopped short as the faint blaze of a fire could be seen through the trees on the side of the road, and a very appetizing smell of...what was it? Soup yes, soup. Well it wasn't exactly roast venison but it would do for an empty stomach...assuming the inhabitants of the camp didn't mind sharing.
Walking towards the campfire Kouji made sure to keep himself in plain view as he got close, so as not to shock the campers (that was a good way to get an arrow in your stomach). As he reached the perimeter he stopped and looked over the small group collected there. "Good evening, I noticed your fire from the road and was wondering..if I...umm," Kouji fumbled with the words feeling slightly embarassed at asking for food, and then angry at himself for showing embarassment to these strangers. "Two young ladies and their packboy should hardly be out alone at night, if you'll provide me with a meal I might be inclined to guard the campsite," Kouji said, rather proud of himself for turning things around.

"Hmm..."
Kira looked at the sword for a moment and then shrugged. It didn't strike her as anything fancy and every once in awhile she could sense foul casting. A part of the power she was born with as a healer. She rarely used it though so it didn't always help her. So it could have been cursed and she just couldn't tell.
Shortly after Tasuki stop talking, Kira could hear someone approaching. She turned so that she could face the direction she thought the person was approaching from. Soon she saw who it was. At first his greeting was pleasant enough and then he seemed to change just a bit. Kira smiled anyway.
"We aren't traveling together... At least we haven't agreed to yet." Kira glanced around but the only food she had left was the bowl she was going to eat from. "Still... I can offer you this." She said holding the bowl out to him. "It's just soup but it has a filling effect to it." She continued to smile, something that she seemed to do a lot.

[[Kay is my best friend and we have agreed sometimes I can say her part haha]]
Walking through the deep wood with her sister at her side was not something she enjoyed. The fact her services had to be offered without her permisson. She wasn't the kind of person to do much for anyone. And the fact Kay decied to tag along was pure evil. She was so anoying. Sometimes she accually hit the child, not very hard because even though they are diffenerent they love each other, in a love hate type thing.
She watched her step and looked behind every tree, always looking back as well. She never wanted to be fallowed, and always made sure she never was. So far it wasn't that bad. She had seen people die out here, because of hungery, lonyness, and just insantiy. She was not hungery because of her food in her bag, not lonely because of Kay, but with her sister, she might just be going a little insane.
Walking on through the forest with her little sister at her side, she looked threw the forest as she smelt something. It was stew. And she could see a flicker of a fire light through the thick of the woods. There was people, she could pick out 3 maybe 4 voices, but she doughted it. She aproached slowly but never dared to go close enough for them to hear them. She looked at Kay and glared at her with soft eyes. "Kay, This time don't ruin things. They might have something that could be helpful. And they just might the people I am looking for. So don't do anything stupid.. like always.." She rolled her eyes as she went back to creeping up to try to see more. She never made a sound as she moved across the forest floor.
