(OPEN) Meet pure poison

[Little Sarah]

A blue haired guy sat on the outside of a cave, he grinned, simply swinging a chain that had a blade connected to the other end "now..which way should I look for that little runt..which way which way.."

He wrapped his wings around himself,smiling in a dark evil way "heh...that little brat is hard to keep track of when she runs around allot...ah well..all I have to remember is If I find her.. I will find her big brother aswell.." the boy chuckled in a dark way, he looked at his clawed hand, looking at the glistening poison on each claw. He slashed at the tree near him. and left a bubbling crater in the tree, he laughed some "heh...poisons stronger then normal today.. "he watched the tree slowly die and the leafs fall form it. He laughed a bit.

The name of the evil demon was Dorei, He licked the poison off his claws again and grinned " I love me power...do I love it ever so much...."

[Kitten4u]

There wasn't a person in Gensokyo that didn't know this face. Sikieiki Yamaxanadu had some free time again, and that undoubtly meant that at least one person was going to get lectured about something today. Whether or not those people would actually listen or understand her this time remained to be seen. For whatever reason people tended to ignore Eiki's teachings, even though she was the one that would be deciding how their afterlife would be. Logically, people should listen to her because of that and she never understood why so many people didn't. She didn't mean to come off as preachy or overbearing, but it seemed unavoidable. If she didn't warn them of the impending doom they might be facing she might actually have to do the unthinkable: condemn them to hell. Sikieiki loved all the inhabitants of Gensokyo, doing that was simply unbearable.

She wasn't shocked that she had some free time today, it seemed to happen more frequently than she would like. One of her subordinates was as famous for slacking off as Eiki was for lecturing people. Eiki wasn't going to go talk to this subordinate, at least not yet. She was going to give her a chance to actually do her job on her own for a change. Plus, why should Eiki waste this oppertunity? Now was a perfect time to go speak with a few people. In fact, a good target was just in sight. She stayed behind a tree and listened to him talk to himself for a moment.

Dorei. He could be best described as scary. He still had this obsession with stalking and killing this "little runt" as he so elequently put it. So obsessed it was scary. He seemed to be speaking with murderous intent in his voice. Also scary. He killed a tree simply because he could. Scary. Eiki felt that her description of him was perfect; no more words were needed. "Scary" normally translated into unacceptable behavior, and that was definatly the case here. If he kept living like this she would have very little choice but send him to hell. As much as she loved all the people in Gensokyo her judgements had to be fair and correct. No amount of love could ever change that. Instead, she had to use her love to change that person before it was too late. She wasn't going to stand by and let this man metephorically kill himself.

Oddly enough, she was quite pleased that he loved the powers, though she wished it was for different reasons. Eiki came out from behind the tree and into plain sight, though she didn't say anything at first. There was really no reason to startle him. She would wait until he seemed aware that she was standing there before speaking.

"Yes, 'powers' are wonderful things to have aren't they? Though, when used incorrectly they shouldn't exist at all," she tapped her rod of convincement against her chin. "Good afternoon. How are you today?"

[Little Sarah]

Dorei seemed to look up when Sikieiki. He let out a grumbling noise and jumped up into the branches of the dieing tree that still seemed to be able to hold the youkai's weight.. He raised an eye brown ans smiled a little bit.

"Well, I believe I'm doing quite well today...slightly annoyed I cant find what I need to find..but other then that..fantastic.." he laughed and hung upsidown in the tree a moment so he was looking her in the face. smirking "what about you?" he asked, even though he really didn't care at the moment.

"Well.. I believe I Use my powers in the way I believe is correct" he pointed out" I think I use my powers in the perfectly fine way!" He shrugged" some might disagree with me, but I don't mind... as long as I think so Aye?" he laughed again.

He grabbed the branch he was on and pulled himself back up, wrapping his wings around himself and falling back onto the branch with a simple yawn. "Have you come just too see how I was doing..or are you wishing to tell me sometihng.." he closed his eyes putting his hands behind his head and yawning again.

[Kitten4u]

While he felt the need to move around as he spoke, Sikieiki only moved her head in order to keep direct eye-contact with him as best she could. He was relaxed, and she was quite stiff. Her heels were together, and she was standing perfectly straight. In short, it was already obvious that they were total opposites. Her normal strategy may not work here. However, she was sure she could get through to him. There was one way that always seemed to work with violent people like this. Sikieiki would prefer to avoid doing something so drastic, so she would see if just talking would work first.

"I'm somewhat annoyed today myself, thank you for asking. My subordinate decided to slack off again today, so no new souls have been ferried to Higan. As much as I wish she would be more dilligent, I can't help but be grateful that it gives me an oppertunity to warn people," she took a few steps closer to him, though she was still a reasonable distence away from him. "You...Oh, I don't even know where to begin."

Scary encompassed a lot of things. So many that it was overwhelming even to her. Using the word alone would probably be taken as a compliment, so that would be conterproductive. Explaining each thing would be easy enough, but explaining it in a way that he could understand and that he would accept was much more difficult. Well...Perhaps she could get away with skipping that for now and explaining it later. His selfish attitude would be easier to explain for now.

"You are truely satisfied with the way you live? Interesting. You really believe that other people have no say in your life? My very existence proves that's not true. When you die only I will decide what happens to your soul. No one else, not even you, has any say after I make my judgement. Though, with the way you are now you may not even make it to me. Your soul's baggage may be so great that you simply get dumped into the Sanzu River before you even reach the other side."

That was truely a fate worse than death, as that was probably the only thing in Gensokyo that could make a person cease to exist. Normally, when a person dies a shinigami ferries them acrsoss the Sanzu River to Higan where Sikieiki will judge them. If the soul never makes it to Higan and is simply pushed overboard instead the soul gets devoured by prehistoric fish, which will eventually destroy that soul. Sometimes it can even take awhile for the soul to be completely destroyed, and every second the soul lives on as the fish eats it it will experience unimaginable pain. She didn't want that to happen to this person or anyone else. Even if they did horrible things in their life no one deserves that kind of torture.

[Little Sarah]

" Hmmmm... I suppose Annoyance is just the feeling thats surrounded today. aye?" He grinned again darkly and stayed with his eyes closed and himself leaning back against the trunk of the tree so gently and calm. His wings still wrapped around him snugly as if he was wrapped in a blanket.

"ahh...heh. so your the one that decides fates huh?" he jumped down from the tree, landing on his feet, he spread his wings out again. "Do tell me...what was the fate of the little runt;s, and Koto's parents Aye?" he smirked" it was probably a good fate...they were nice people...though it was fun watching them die...fun fun fun." wow...Dorei really was a crazy phyco guy.

"and to say the least...yes.. I really am satisfied.. heh.. I love my life, whats my life if I cant make other things miserable, its oh so fun to make smaller things cry...heh" he grinned with his fangs showing again. "Epically that little one..heh..little Sarah.. Ive got to the point where shes terrified of me...she will automatically run and hide at the slight scent of me, its fun seeing that fear...and the simple fact I'm pissing off her brother in the process of making her fearful of me is just a great bonos..."

He smirked" I do very much hate her big brother.." he looked at his claws "hes...quite..how do I say it." he thought a moment "Ah..my enemy"

[Kitten4u]

"I am not permitted to speak about such things with mortals," she sighed.

Then, she just closed her eyes. She always wondered how people could end up like this and not even realize how miserable they were. It seemed unlikely that he had ever experienced genuine happiness before. Perhaps that's why he didn't know. Well, the reason hardly mattered; the only thing that mattered was that he didn't stay like this. However, it seemed that she was simply being brushed off as usual. Eiki never understood that. She just told him that if continued to behave like this that he would be dumped into the Sanzu River, experience unimaginable pain until he finally ceased to exist. Even if he did manage to make it across the river, he would still have to be judged by her, and she just TOLD him that his judgement would not be plesant. Why was that not enough to do anything? It seemed to be this way with most of the people in Gensokyo. Eiki simply couldn't comprehend it.

Fear? Yes, fear was a great thing when used properly. There were many things that people should fear, and that fear would prevent them from doing something stupid. Humans were afraid of youkai so they wouldn't get eaten. Ice fairies were afraid of fire so they wouldn't get hurt. Eiki herself used fear to guide people towards the right path. She honestly thought that the fear of eternal damnation would more prevelant in people, esspecially when it was the yama herself that told them about it, but for whatever reason that didn't seem to be the case here. Perhaps it was too far in the future for him to think about?

On top of all that, he was openly taunting her. She had just informed him that she was not pleased with the way he was acting, yet he flaunted his scaryness in front of the person that would ultimatly decide his afterlife. What in Gensokyo was he thinking? Or perhaps was he thinking was a better question? Sikieiki herself was quite short for someone that could pass for an adult human. She never felt awkward about her size. In fact, she found it quite ironic that people assumed that small people were always weak. Eiki was quite confident she could defeat this man in physical or magical combat if it really came to that. In fact, the more he spoke the more it seemed like it was going to come to that.

"Oh I see. What happens when you meet someone stronger than you?"

Sikieiki opened her eyes again. Her expression was almost the same as it was before, but this time she didn't look curious. Yes, her words were actually a threat. It wasn't unusual for her to fight people, in fact it was a fairly routine thing to judge people before they died simply to show that she does indeed have greater power than they do. Of course, she never killed or even permanently injured the target as that would be simply unacceptable.

[Little Sarah]

" Awww..thats too bad, I really wanted to know" he shrugged it off a little bit " knowing their pathetic selfs probably went someplace good. always seeming to help those humans...its disgusting really, with the amount of Power that sune-ku told me those two had, they could of destroyed almost anything they wanted...but no..they wanted to do something in order to help...its sickening in a way.." he seemed to be partly talking to himself. He really did somehow seem disgusted in the fact that Peten and Serian ( Sarah and koto's parents) actually helped humans before they died. Just kinda showed the person he was.

Dorei had a certain hatred toward humans, he wouldn't really tell anyone why, he just seemed to. His eyes were dark looking now " Discusting....Helping creatures like humans is pathetic.." he snarled "they doesn't deserve protection at all, none at all..."

He leaned back on the dead tree causing it to creek. "and the runt and her brother aren't much better then those two were" he snarled " The little brat apologizing for stepping on an ant, Shes pathetic, a youkai that wont hurt a F@*%$ing fly?, thats a sad thing to see, pathetic people like that are the ones that should die..the little weaklings of the world.." he hissed some.

but he seemed to smirk some at the last thing she said "Well, don't really know what I would do.." he shrugged" Most likely just run away like I normally do, I do that when Sune is angry at me..that snake youkai could bite my head off in an instance if he wanted to..."

[Kitten4u]

Sikieiki pasued for a moment and looked at the ground before speaking. "Is there something wrong with wanting to have a pleasant afterlife? Is being happy suddenly a bad thing?" once she started speaking she made sure to keep direct eye-contact again.

Perhaps he was jealous of the way they lived? It wasn't unusual for those that were envious of others to hate them instead of simply becoming like them. Eiki never quite understood this mentality, but she thought much more logically than most people. Sadly, people that had such baseless hatred towards someone were very hard to change, esspecially when they don't even realize how unhappy they really are.

"You don't have to help humans in order to live a decent life, and you can help humans and still live a sinful life. One thing is not enough to detirmine what kind of person you are. You can still live properly and never come into contact with humans."

Sure, hating all humans was still wrong, but she had to do things one step at a time. Changing someone from someone who probably wouldn't even make it to Higan to someone that might actually pass to Xanadu was qutie a jump, and one that would definatly not be done overnight. Trying to force that many ideas on someone all at once would make them reject them all. It was simply too much to think about.

Eiki found it interesting that despite everything he has been saying and doing that he is actually a coward. Why didn't he want to change now then? Was the thought of eternal damnation just not scary? Or was it just completely unimaginable? Regardless if he would indeed run away from a fight she probably shouldn't fight him herself. While she could fly, she couldn't fly very fast. Chances were that he would simply fly faster and eventually get away.

"Oh, so you find a mere youkai frightening, yet the thought of having your very soul ripped to pieces does not phase you at all?" she turned her head to the side. It simply didn't make sense to her. "And..." she paused again, "What do you think of yourself? If you were to meet yourself, what would you do?"

Once again, that was actually a threat, though she was very interested to see waht he would say. Most people don't think about themselves the same way they think about other people. I could actually be quite insightful sometimes.

[Little Sarah]

"Its hard not to make contact with humans.." he said in a simple way. "I mean..in the most part as you travel your going to come across some village at some point..though I must say something about humans.." he smirked evilly " their blood tastes pretty dang good when I'm licking it off my claws.." he chucked a little bit at that, he found the thought of killing something funny.

He shook his head again. He smirked in a more dark way his eyes being shadowed by his hair. he looked down at his hand again, watching the poison on it drip onto the middle of his hand "my my...you've been threatening me, haven't you Sikieiki?" he asked. He did notice the threatening tone in her voice, he didn't seem scared.

though by no meas he was not underestimating her powers, he thought anyone that was being threatening was funny.

He sat up. "In truth.. I'm not afraid of the after life.." he grinned more. I mine as well just not think of such things at the moment, I mean.. I mine as well enjoy myself and do what I believe in now, then do what I don't believe in...."

"and...so you know..." his eyes went a darker red " Sune-ku is not just a mere youkai...he is quite frightening...from what hes showed me.... Hes not a force to be weakened with...plain and simple..."

[Kitten4u]

If Sikieiki wasn't attempting to have a serious conversation she probably would have smacked her forehead at that first comment. Of course he might see humans, but seeing and making contact were two different things. People see flowers all the time, yet it's rare for anyone to speak with them, or even touch them. Most of the time they would simply walk past them as though they weren't even there.

"Then just stay on Youkai Mountain. It's rare that humans ever go there. That idea not appealing? Then just fly past them. Pretend like they don't even exist."

Denying the existence of something that made him upset certainly wasn't the best thing to do, but it was a logical first step. At the very least, it was certainly better than needlessly slaughtering them.

Threatening him? Well yes, of course. Even before she was even thinking about fighting him she directly threatened him with hellfire. Why did people never seem to care about that? Once again, that wasn't important right now since it was clear that wasn't working for whatever reason. Eiki did find it depressing that he considered a simple fight to be threatening, but not the thought of having his soul torn to pieces by prehistoric fish. That latter certainly sounded more unpleasant to her. She put out her fingers as though she was holding a card in them, then turned them over. Once she did that a small card appeared. She would prefer if she didnt' have to use this spellcard, but it did seem like he needed to see himself.

"What do you believe in then?"

Eiki was still completely convinced that he was miserable, but didn't know it. Asking questions like this frequently brought that fact to life, though it didn't always do so.

"There's nothing wrong with fearing something stronger than you. Fear exists for a reason. It prevents you from getting yourself killed or from doing anything stupid. All I meant to say was that the afterlife can do far worse things to you than anything in the mortal world could ever hope to do."

[Little Sarah]

Dorei sighed, and smirked" I cant stay in one place...my targets move around quite a bit" he smirked some "and unforchunitly...the one little target often times goes into human villages to ask if they've seen her brother...though she seems even scared of humans at times... heh..funny huh..a little youkai that's afraid of humans too... then again the runts like 1/3 the size og a human...heh...shes scared of evreything." he looked at his claws again and sighed a little bit.

"heh.... Sune is simply scary...scarier then me even, and yes fear is a part of life...but it dosnt mean its good to feel it.... at all..." he grinned

"Ya know.... I dont know waht I belive in in truth...." he scratched his head" I suppose I belive that the weak things that cant survive on their own should be destroyed...simple as that" he laughed

However his ears perked up some "well...speaking of weaklings...."

~~~

Not too far away, little Sarah was pushing her what though one of the thisk bushes "O..Oh no..b..b..big brother isn't here either U..Usagi..." she hugged the stuffed toy against herself tighter, her ears strait back on her head.

Her little tail was dragging across the ground in a sad scared way. "K..Koto!!" she cried out and kept walking " BIG BROTHER!!!" She was trembling a little bit.

~~

Dorei grinned some" My.. heh..my little target actually came into the area where I'm at for once...how fun!" he spread his wings out " heh....weak should be destroyed by te strong..aye..."

[Kitten4u]

Sikieiki always looked serious, but her current expression brought serious to a whole new level. She was clearly getting annoyed that she was being taunted, and she wasn't going to stand for it anymore. It's one thing if someone tries to attack her. Eiki is immortal, no amount of pain would ever be able to kill her. They could pound on her all they liked, and sometimes she would just let people do so. After doing that they would frequently just lay down and finally listen to her. However, she would not allow anyone to attack an innocent right in front of her face, esspeically when they actually knew she was there and she had just spent a while lecturing them about such things. That was simply insulting.

"Aye," her voice was completely different. She was obviously immitating him. Judgement 'Cleansed Crystal Judgement -Dorei-'!"

The card she was holding started to glow and float just a few inches in front of her. Eiki took a few steps back, she had no intention of actually fighting unless there was an unavoidable need to do so. It was difficult even for her to use two spellcards at once after all. After a few seconds the card transformed into an exact clone of Dorei, and it was an exact clone in almost every way. They looked the same, they would fight the same and their personalities were near identical. There was only one difference between the two. The real Dorei had an obession with that little girl, the clone had the same obession with his real self, but didn't care about the girl at all. It would attack relentlessly until the real Dorei was dead (though Sikieiki wouldn't allow it to go that far, she would desummon it long before then) or the clone was dead. Once the clone was either killed or de-summoned it would simply turn back into a card and immediatly turn to ashes.

Eiki herself put herself between the two Dorei and the little girl. She would do everything in her power to make sure that girl wasn't harmed.

((Feel free to control the clone. You know how your char acts and fights better than I do.))

[Little Sarah]

Dorei blinked some, staring at the clone a moment, growling some "pffft..like an exact replica of me scares me....though.. I must say I am cute" he grinned some ( XD Vein much) He snarled and tried to ignore th clone, turning away from it with his wings out in order for him to go toward the area where little Sarah was at ,cracking his knuckles some.

He was about to take off, when the clone of him grabbed one of his wings before he could fly and slash at him with his claws. Which, because it was so close, the real Dorei couldn't doge by any means. He had deep slash marks in one of his wings.

Dorei snarled and turned back around."so...it has everything I can do, eh?" he had felt the acid like poison on the claws when it hit his wings. " I don't care if it is me..or..looks like me....nothing dose that to my wings!" he snarled and went to tackle the clone. looking at Rika, he smirked.

"Hey...by the way.." he spoke as he was fighting the clone "if you think me not being able to get near the girl will stop her from being hurt..your wrong..." With that, he seemed to pull a card from his pocket lightly, and seemed to mumble the words 'Dokubutsu Sumoggu' and he grinned, he had done thins attack many times it didn't take him too much concentration. Those words said, a smoke seemed to come from him, and it started to flow around the ground and spread out" in translation..lets just say...its..Poison smog.." he smirked some." and..for a heads p..im not effected by my own poison...but that little thing is..."

~~~

Sarah was just a little ways away. her tiny nose twitched some "t..that scent.." she backed up, letting out a small whimper and backing up. "D..D..dorei.." she seemed really frightened. she seemed to try and cover the arm with the gash in it that had not healed completely.

"W..why dose h..he have to be h..here...i.." her nose twitched again and she coughed. She as low enough to the ground that the smell of the smog like smoke could most likely reach her little face directly, she coughed more and covered her nose with the sleeve of her shirt and closed her eyes.

[Kitten4u]

Sikieiki hadn't even considered that. She was immortal, so the gas wouldn't kill her, but that certainly didn't mean it wouldn't affect her. It would affect her less than it would any mortal, but she immediatly started feeling fatigued and like she couldn't move nearly as quickly as before. It didn't matter though as she was not the one fighting. Of course, if the poision didn't affect Dorei it wouldn't affect the clone either. They were the same in almost every way. She would try to make it look like it wasn't doing anything to her at all, but that was somewhat difficult as she had lungs too.

But, there was another issue. That little girl was coming here, and Eiki already had a spellcard active. Summoning two at once was rather difficult, and this poison cloud was already making her tired. She didn't want to rely on something she may not be able to do. Dorei did mention that she was terrified of him, so it was entirely possible that she would just turn back, but Eiki knew better than to simply rely on hope. So, she did the first thing she could think of. She tossed her rod just a few inches in front of her, and it spawned what looked like a few more rods. It wasn't a spellcard, so it wouldn't do much damage, but she wasn't looking to do much damage in this case. Eiki simply wanted to keep that child from coming any closer. If it looked like she was being attacked she might just back off. If the rod clones actually did hit her it probably wouldn't do much damage. The rod's damage was strictly based on the weight of sin of the person, and she was young. The chances of her having enough sin on her to cause any permanent damage was slim.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah let out a loud squeak when something was thrown at her and she seemed to just kinda cover her head and eyes a bit from being scared, forgetting about the poison smog that now seemed to be there, seeming to breath in some of it and cough again.

When the rod hit her, it didn't feel that heavy, though it did cause the little runt to fall back onto her bottom out of surprise. In truth, the little girl didn't really have much sin at all in any. She didn't like doing bad things, the only time she would ever do one, is if someone told her it was helping something else.

"w...what..what was that.." she spoke softly, but started coughing again, she breathed in more of the smog now and covered her little mouth.

She got to her feet and fled to one of the trees, hoping that it would block out some of the smoke, hiding in a little space under the tree with her mouth and nose covered, coughing to get any of the smog out of her system.

~~

Dorei growled and threw the clone back a little bit. He had been fighting the thing off for a bit of time now, he actually had many spots along his body that were now bleeding.

It was strange, as his blood his the ground, it seemed to make a sizzling noise as if it was being burned or having acid dropped on it. Doreis blood was acidic, to the point that anything that touched it would probably burn. It was obvious however that the fighting with the clone mixed with keeping the poison smog going was actually getting to him as well, though he did this spell often , making the smog spread over a wide area tended to drain him quite a bit.

The boy snarled some and rammed the clone again,, but the clone of him smirked and grabbed onto his neck, sinking the poison like claws in.

Just because dorei wasn't affected by his poison, didn't mean that the feeling of it sinking into his skin didn't hurt quite a bit.

With a bit of strength, dorei kicked the clone off of him and spread his wings out. taking off to show his cowardly ways. He pretty much knew he couldn't win against himself if he continued to use his power. so he was retreating and took off.

The clone tried to follow him, though the poison boy was flaying away from the area for the time being.
