Hot spring treachery(admin)

The white haired demon was relaxing in the hot water of the springs. The sun was out and everything was peacefully calm. The only sound was the roaring falls and the occasional chirping of a bird. It had been one of those boring days when there just didn't seem to be anything better to do then to just laze around. Anyone would be easily fooled by his calm expression and good looks into thinking he was harmless and maybe even nice. Of course him being naked in a hot spring may also deceive people into thinking those things. In truth Akuma was far from harmless and nice, he was pure evil and quite the pervert. Something the unlucky person who decided to come disturb him here would find out.

Keykku looked around. She motioned for Finn to follow. They were playing 'War', a sort of training excersize for the blonde. "Current postion: top of the falls. Destination: hot springs. General Keykku, what are your orders?" Finn smiled. She was in her human form, dressed in all camo with black streaks under her eyes. Keykku's normal attire was covered by a green and gray cloak, the hood pulled over her eyes. The blonde motioned for silence as she approached the edge. Finn had cleared the one side of the falls, that way they could jump without being harmed. It was a rather brilliant idea. "Enemy approaching from behind, Commander. What do we do?" Keykku slapped Finn across the face and hushed her. It was time for stealth, time to jump into the water. If it wasn't for the spray that was coming from the falls, she would've seen the naked demon. Sadly, she didn't.

"SiC (Second in Command) Serafina, you go first. Dive, dive, dive!" With that, the dragon sent herself off the cliff, doing a series of aerial somersaults before turning into a fish seconds before hitting the water. Keykku followed right afterward, laughing like a maniac as she did. This was rather interesting, this little game. It was rather fun, too. The blonde tucked in her arms and legs, curled in her head, and squeezed her eyes shut. She then proceeded to cannonball into the water. The following splash was a bit more than satisfactory. Finn had turned back into a human and was pulling her hair out of her face when she noticed the demon.

Keykku had already noticed him. Her head was tilted so far to the side that it was nearly touching her shoulder. Her jaw was agape, and one eyebrow was raised. That was a bit... creepy. The girl noticed her facial expression and fixed it immediatley, head snapping back to its proper position, mouth closing, eyes showing the only emotion. [color=violet"Whoa."[/color] Finn nodded her agreement. It was then Keykku realized that they had probably interupted the guy's all to peaceful bath.

Keykku struggled to find the words to apologize with. "Sorry... um... I really... We didn't.... Please forgive me... Us, I mean." With that the blonde bowed, standing hip deep in water, soaking wet. All she could do was apologize. Her face had changed from it's normal pale to a bright, cherry red. She didn't lift her head for a moment, fearing that she might giggle. This was probablly the definition of adventure. Jumping off a waterfall and then... coming across a naked man.

The demon was about to drift of to sleep when he heard some splashing. Akuma gazed at the two girls with his golden eyes. He smiled at their reactions, they were clearly embarrassed. He laughed out loud in amusement. This was interesting to say the least. "No problem ladies. If you turn your heads for a few moments i can get some clothes on." In truth he kind of didn't want to, but he didn't want to send the girls away screaming just yet. So he would play the easy going gentleman for a while. Perhaps later he could have some fun with them. Though the demon had to wonder exactly how much they saw, not that he minded. He grinned at the though, certainly if they saw they would think he was quite the catch.

Finn sighed. Idiot. Keykku's eyes twitched. This was weird. She wanted her blankie and she wanted to just faint right then and there. Gosh was that embarassing! She whimpered lightly, then forced herself to look away. "Hurry up, then." Finn's voice was solid, deathly serious. As always. But Keykku wanted to laugh a little, just because of the situation. It was rather funny how something like this always happened. She stopped herself from laughing and controlled her urges. She felt ber boots getting squishy and was anxious to get out of the water. "Serafina? Is... Can you magically pop up some dry boots? I feel like I'm standing in dog crap." Keykku threw on a pouty face, going along with her innocent little voice and the whimpers. She couldn't help but giggle at her own words and expression. Finn waded over, grabbed the girl by her waist, picked her up, and sat her on the dry ground.

"You should learn that there is a time an place for saying such horrid things." Finn sighed, acting disgusted. Keykku laughed. "Vicious as always, are we? At least I didn't say it in a more... vivid way." The blonde couldn't help but be optimistic and cheerful. It was just who she was. At least she was distracted from the hopefully now fully clothed guy. That was horrific, what she had seen. It wouldn't leave her thoughts. She had a feeling that image was going to haunt her forever.

Looking at the dragon impatiently, she took off the cloak and began to take off her wet armor. It was starting to rup a few tender places raw, like her elbows and her armpits. After taking all of the armor off, she was left in a low cut t-shirt and a pair of short shorts. "That feels better. Now can I have those dry boots?"
"You'll be perfectly fine going barefoot."
"Liar." The word was mumbled. Finn glared at the blonde, her black eyes showing no expression.
"Ugh. Are you decent yet?" The dragon's question was directed toward the man who was, hopefully, dressed.

Akuma came out now fully clothed and wag his finger at the girl who had told him to hurry up. "Why so impatient? It is quite rude you know." He said smiling. The demon sat down on a rock near the two girls who were now on dry land. The girl who had told him to hurry up seemed to be the more serious and tempermental of the two. The blond just seemed to be embarrassed by the whole thing. The two certainly fought a lot.. he wondered what kind of connection they had. "So then what brings you ladies here besides spying on naked men?" He asked teasingly. This was definitely entertaining and a little awkward. He never had someone accidentally drop by and see him naked before. Despite everything he really just wanted to laugh. Who would have imagined meeting people for the first time under these circumstances?

Keykku let out a burst of air when he had commented ton that being rude. "You think thats rude? You should see her when she's-" Finn clapped her hand over the blonde's mouth. She slipped her a warning glance and Keykku shrugged. Perhaps it was best to not finish that sentence. When he brought up the fact bout them interupting his bathtime her eyes widened once again. They... they wern't spying! Simply being adventurous. But that sounded... Keykku made a sad little grunt-ish noise and let out a sigh.

"We weren't spying on you. I assure you, if I'd have seen you down there we never would've jumped." Finn added that in, raising a black brown quietly. Keykku nodded vigorously in agreement. "Yup! She's right. It's not very pleasant to be seen naked. I would know." Keykku's eyes were still wide, like a child telling a ghost story. Her voice was all to serious, and it seemed unnatural to her. She recalled the run-in with the boy who was talking to Finn. Xander, wasn't it? Huh.

Keykku, sick of the dramatic, awkward mood, slapped on a grin. She liked smiling. It helped to cheer people up. Finn sighed. Great. Now the little twerp was in one of her little moods again. She was always so optimistic and cheerful. It got kind of annoying after a while. "So then, what's your name? Mine's Keykku, and this is Serafina. She's a bit..." Keykku tried to find the right word, trying to avoid getting that pale hand clapped over her mouth once again. "Grumpy. But I think that's only because she... well, I think I shouldn't say that." That oughta do it. Finn knew she was a grump. Keykku wanted something to do. She was getting bored already. At least when they were on the falls they had something interesting to do. Then again, the run in with the naked guy wasn't exactly dull.

Akuma raised his eyebrows as the two had a short squabble. He grinned when the blond mentioned briefly of her own experiences. "My name is Akuma. Nice to meet you both." He said extending out a hand. The blond one seemed nice enough, more quiet. But the dark haired girl had the sort of fiery straight forward attitude he loved. So which would he play with........would it be possible to have them both?

Having already briefly entered their minds he had found out they were dragon and dragon rider. But he didn't want them to know that he knew just yet. It was hard to tell which would be more trouble....the dragon seemed like the most obvious answer but the riders had dangerous powers of their own. It was only a quick look, he only wanted to know what he was dealing with. Every other aspect of their minds he left alone. After all the blond at least seemed all to willing to delve out information about them. "Isn't it a bit dangerous for kids to be jumping down the falls like that?" He asked in reference to their entrance.

Keykku blinked rapidly at the question. She wasn't of whether to be offended of that question or not. "Kids? I'm not a child, thank you very much. I'm an adult and you should know that." The blonde sat up a little straighter, a look of defiance shining in her eyes. Finn did a plam face. "You're an idiot, if you asked me. A childish idiot." Keykku glared at her dragon. "You shut your fat little mouth before I shove one of my soaking wet socks in it, you annoying beast!" Finn stifled a laugh at that comment. She'd like to see the little twerp try. It was so fun to fight with her... the dragon let out a quiet sigh and then turned away. This was the perfect way to act in front of a stranger. Hopefully he would leave. Somehow, thought, she doubted it.

Keykku, remembering the point of the question, got frustrated with herself. "Sorry. It was a training excersize. Which was why we were acting like that, going jumping off a cliff." Her nose twitched slightly, probably due to the satisfaction she was rolling around in. Finn hadn't gotten the last word in that little spat. It was a good thing. For once, she had won a battle in the part of a verbal war. The blonde felt accomplished. Huffing a little breath, she smiled defiantly at Finn. She was tempted to stick out her tongue but held back the urge.

"Are you two related because you fight an awful lot." Akuma commented. He smiled at the two. The demon wasn't even paying attention to what they were saying. It was just amusing to watch the two go at it. He was kind of disappointed by their behavior though. They acted nothing like a dragon and their rider should. Currently they didn't seem to be much of a threat but he was not going to take any unnecessary risks.

"sorry i didn't mean to offend you. It's just a bad habit i'm afraid. Being a demon i'm actually older then i appear and i generally refer to everyone who is younger then me as a kid. Though if we were to be technical about it...........i would be considered a kid as well by demon standards." He explained cheerfully. Funny though that she would be offended when most women would be happy to have been mistaking to be a younger age.

Keykku nodded, her sign of accepting Akuma's apology. Finn shook her head unconcisouly, looking out at the springs. "We are related." As long as he didn't ask how, finn figured there wouldn't be a problem. Keykku didn't add anything suspicious to the answer, which was another good thing. That might stop him from questioning further, too. The blonde sighed. "I'm nearly twenty, and I'm partially human. Therefore, I'm an adult. I guess that I just don't like being called a child. Probably because that was all I was ever called." Finn let out antoher sigh. She had better'd not go into one of those depressed moods. Once she got started thinking about the past she stayed there until something important happened.

Keykku looked up at Akuma, blue eyes shining with brilliance. "Why were you taking a bath in a place like this? Sure, it's a hot spring, but it's not exactly secluded. People come by here all the time." She was curious. She couldn't help but ask the question. It had arose in her mind and then forced itself out of her mouth before she could hold it back. She didn't regret asking it, either. She was truly fascinated by someone having enough nerve to do that. Or perhaps he just liked the fact that he was naked in a pretty much public place. Thinking of that fact, she had to wonder.

"It seems then that looks are deceiving. When i saw this place it looked nice and quiet. So i assumed nobody came here." The demon shrugged. Truly he had no idea why he had chosen this particular place. "Other then that the scenery is pretty and the water is warm. Why do you ask?" Akuma nodded at the girls comment about her being called a kid before. It made sense that being called something other then your name all the time could get annoying fast. So the blond was only partially human, this likely meant that part of her was elf. The demon smiled at the dragons comment. " You guys seem like sisters to me. You certainly fight like siblings anyway" So far things were working great. The blond was being useful and giving him all sorts of interesting tid bits. Even the grouchy dragon was dishing out some information. Sadly it wasn't that much but it was a good start.

Keykku looked at Finn. Finn returned the look. They both laughed. It was a bit of an inside joke. "Yeah. Because she has raven black hair and mine is bleach blonde, her eyes are jet black and mine are blue." It could happen, but it was unlikely. It would be rather awesome to have a sister who was the complete opposite in the looks department. "Sorry about that. And I only asked because I know that I wouldn't be caught dead taking a bath here." The girl shuddered. That would be horrible, being walked in on completely naked. Yuck. She could only imagine what would happen. Whoever did it would probably end up dead.

Finn had a bad feeling oabout this guy. He asked strange enough questions, and he seemed to know something. Perhaps he had figured out their 'secret'. She smirked at the thought. It wasn't a secret that they were a dragon and rider. Most people knew that. But, he hadn't asked. Being related just didn't seem to fit in to that category. The dragon shook her head lightly, even though nothing was being uttered. "What?"
"Nothing."
"Don't give me that crap."
"Crap? What do you mean?"
"With you, every little movement is bound to mean something."
"Even breathing?" Finn figured she had won.
"That means your alive." It took her a minute, but Keykku had replied.

Akuma smiled "then if your not sisters then i suppose that settles my original analysis. You two are in fact dragon and dragon rider. " He let the bomb shell drop. He was starting to get a little bored and figured that would get a raise out of them. "I guessed because of the way Keykku was dressed and by your temper fin. That combined with the odd behavior and the way you to answered and asked questions......that and no normal sane person would jump off a water fall."The demon replied grinning. Even if he didn't read their minds he would have caught on that something was up between them because of the vague way they answered questions. That and the way one girl silenced the other when ether was about to say something about it. "Before you get all worked up. I think it is fair that we are honest about who and what we are. After all i told you what i am." He said smiling innocently.

Now that that was out of the way perhaps the real fun could start. Hopefully they wouldn't make a big fuss. The demon felt rather tired and just wanted a nice calm conversation for now. Though he most definitely intended to get one of them. He smiled inwardly it was all about patience and charm. That was the secret to getting any women.......sometimes men to.

Keykku raised an eyebrow. Perhaps all men weren't as stupid as she thought. "He's good." The blonde looked at her clothing. She snorted. Apparently he had meant her armor, which was originally made for an elf. Hmm. She had a strange feeling that there was something more to that guy than he was letting on to. Oh well. She didn't care. Or, at least, she would tell herself that. Finn shook her head lightly. She had knew that there was something weird going on. She nodded in response to Keykku's comment.

It was then the dragon remembered the single vital detail to figuring the whole thing out.

"You can read minds, can't you? Talk about being honest. Obviousoly, since you called me Finn... Keykku introduced me as Serafina, never once did her tongue slip to call me by that nickname. Interesting, isn't it, Keykku?" The dragon's tone was devilish and menacing. Keykku thought back a little. Sure, that may have been it, but... reading minds? Whoa. She blinked for a few moments, and then realized what the dragon was saying by using that tone.

"Finn, you can't eat him. It's not polite. Just because he has been in your mind-" Finn laughed, a bitter bark. "He's been in yours too, moron!" That took Keykku back a bit. She went into deep thought for a moment. Mumbling something under her breath, she sent an accusing glare toward Akuma. "Is that true?" Her voice was stern, but her eyes looked a little sad. Whatever happened, she was going to refuse to lose her temper. The guy seemed harmless, but she wanted to know. Dang. She needed an Armadillo Helmet or something. "I'll make sure she doesn't eat you."

"Ladys please. It is nothing like that. First of all lets spell out your name phonetically, shall we? Ser -a- fin-a, I just thought fin was easier to say and it sounded nice." Akuma said shrugging. They were smart to have figured out he had read their minds. He nodded to Keykku. "I appreciate that. And to prove my point i can do the same thing with yous. Key-ku. So now i will call you Key. See? No mind reading involved. I'm sorry Serafina i didn't know that you would be upset by being called fin." He explained putting on an innocent mixed with hurt expression.

"And that just furthur proves my point. Serafina. You spelled it out. It's pronounced Sarah-fee-na." The dragon grinned. Keykku looked at the dragon. She was waay to smart. "Finn, shut up. You are confusing the crap out of me and I don't appreciate it." The dragon sighed. Sure, once she started thinking, everything fell apart. Keykku looked at Akuma. "I would appreciate it if you would call me by my full name, thank you. Unless you want me to call you Ak." Keykku laughed as she said this. It was rather funny, really. Ak. When she said it it sounded like some sort of a dying animal. Finn looked around. The dragon huffed. Perhaps she should just eat him anyways?
