"That's--no. I can't let you pay. I brought you here to thank you for saving my life. Not to get a free meal from you." Darren said, sitting one of his hands on top of hers, looking into her eyes. "I'll pay." He told her, giving her hand a little nudge to take her money back. His cheeks darkened in color as he took his hand back, her skin was so soft and warm. It was very nice. |

"N-no, this is far too much for you to do, just being with me was enough." Because no one else ever was. She put the money down firmly and placed her hands in her pockets, refusing to take the money back. So that's it. He fed me, which was enough... Although I am paying with money I stole. I could make a 'living' that way, but... She sighed silently. |

Darren blinked at her. "Please, tonight was my treat." He argued, sliding the money back her way. Just glancing it at he counted more than enough for tonight's meal. He set his lips in a line,"How about you can pay the tip, and I'll get the meal?" He asked, hoping that was what she would go for, because it really wasn't fair to her or him if he let her pay because he asked her out, not the other way around. It wouldn't be right for her to pay tonight...maybe if they went out again.... The thought made him flush. Would she agree to going out with him again if he asked? Would she even want to see him again? Did she really enjoy tonight or was she just being nice? What did she really think of him? All of those questions and more suddenly flooded his thoughts making him catch his breath, and he was suddenly over come by the urge to ask her out on another date again, so he tried a different tactic. "How about I pay tonight, and you can the next time?" He asked, arcing one eyebrow. His own desperation fueling his charisma. |

She was opening her mouth to argue again when he spoke. Immediately, she flushed. "...N-next time?" She repeated softly, brushing hair out of her eyes. Her fingers hesitated over the money laid down, and she hesitated visibly - then slowly she pulled it back. "...Next time," she agreed shyly, blushing. She pocketed the money again, watching him - was this the end of their date together? Date, right? That's what they were on... She looked at him, and actually found herself licking her lips unconsciously. Horrified, she got up abruptly. "T-t-thanks for the meal!" She blurted, and headed for the door. She'd been thinking about eating him?! His lips had looked so plump, she'd just wanted to nibble... Stopping outside, she sat in an alley and covered her eyes, ashamed. Not realizing that it wasn't exactly hunger driving her today. |

Darren smiled, enjoying the blush that spread across her face. A blush spread across his own face when she licked her lips while looking at him. What...did...that...mean....exactly? Was she just cleaning food off of her lips? And why did she suddenly look horrified. Did he do something? Immediately he was self conscious, seeing her jump up like that he stood too, still extremely confused. "Wait...how can I get a hold of you again?!" He asked as she ran out. The other dinner patrons turned and looked at him and he flushed with even more embarrassment. He dropped three dollars on the table for a tip, he took the dinner recipe from the edge of the table and hurried to the cash register. He paid quickly and then darted out of the diner, glancing around wildly. Where was she? Which way did she go? Why, exactly, was he following her? Maybe it was that extremely irking face she made as she ran out. Was she really that disgusted about going on another date with him? Was he really that horrible? "Nimue?" He asked not particularly loudly, but loud enough. He walked down the street, seeing someone crouched in an alley way. "Nimue is that you?" |

She started as she heard his voice. "D-Darren!" She took in a startled breath - then realized that she should not have responded. She began to back up, eyes glowing slightly in the dim alley as she felt herself return to the feral animal she truly was. "L-look, I - I was a little... hasty..." she managed, trying to stay away from him. "We - don't really know each other - and - uh - and - " What was it that humans said? I'm actually a mixture of two horrible, mythical creatures that want to eat you? ... She couldn't really say that. "I just don't think it's safe," she murmured miserably, heart pounding in her chest as she thought about how kind he'd been to her. After everything she'd done to him - even though he didn't seem to know... And she couldn't tell him. He'd be terrified. He could die from the sheer fright of it all. And she did not want that. Better he just live, blithely unaware. "Don't go into the forest again," she whispered, and looked for a way to get out. |

She seemed scared now...and surprised. What in the world happened? First moment everything was fine, they were smiling and laughing. And now she was acting like Darren was an axe murdered with said weapon in hand! And then she spoke. Rejection. Even though he had been slightly expecting that she didn't really like him and that she /was/ just being nice before and when he mention a possible second date she got scared and bolted, it still hurt like someone jabbed him in the chest with a white hot fire poker. He bit his lip, taking a step backwards. "Oh." It was obvious on his face and in his voice the pain he was feeling, he let out a sigh. "I get it." He managed. "I won't bother you again." He mumbled, turning around, about to walk away he was overcome by the humiliation anger he had experienced plenty of times before. "Why did you even bother then?" He demanded, "If it caused you all this--" He waved his hand towards her and the alley around them. "You could have just said no. Or not even bothered showing me out of the forest in the first place. You could have just sat back and watched whatever thing out there devour me!" He anger at himself, humiliation at her rejection, and his own confusion were fueling his words now.

She was relieved but heartbroken as he turned away - but then he turned back. She went rigid as he spoke - so angrily! He was so mad at her! She cowered under his furious words, shoulders hunched defensively, heart pounding in her chest. "I - " How was she to explain? "..." Slowly, she moved forward - and just as she had seen humans come to the edge of her forest to do, just as she had seen in the one movie she'd sneaked into when she was very young - she pressed her lips to his. Her body pressed close to his, and she closed her eyes, hungrily trying to take every memory from him that she could. "That's all I have to say," she mumbled as she pulled away. "Goodbye, Darren." |

(didn't she turn into her beasty self?) Darren listened to her voice, slightly derailed at the emotion he heard in her voice; fear, and pain. Although he could tell that her pain was something different to the rejection he was feeling. He let out a small breath, seeing her move closer and closer to him. She was so beautiful. And then her lips were on his. All previous rejection and injuries forgotten. This moment was perfect. Her lips were warm and plump against his. Her body slightly warmer than his was, filling him with a need, and a want for more warmth--her warmth. It was completely surprising and severally unfair. Especially because she stepped back too soon. His breathing was a little ragged. He blinked away his surprise as he then remembered what actually was going on. Goodbye? She was going to kiss him like that and then just go away? NO! That's soooo unfair! "W-why?" He whimpered. |

She looked back at him with eyes filled with pity and sorrow. "Because we don't live in the same world," she whispered - and then she began to run, helplessly, pushing past men on the street who were more than happy to be knocked down and stare after her. It can't work. I'd eat him by mistake some day. And that's the last thing I want. What she really wanted was him. The warmth of his body against her own had sent shivers down her spine and made her want to simply stand there all day. She liked him a lot - as much as a mythical creature could like a human, she supposed. |

He watched her go, feeling a terrible emptiness that he couldn't explain. We don't live in the same world. Her words repeated in his head with a revers echo, instead of loosing strength as it was repeated it grew stronger and louder in his mind, making him more and more confused. So this was it? Then end of it? The end of the best and worst day of his life? He had almost been killed by a horrid monster in the forest he shouldn't have been in the first place, he probably would have died of starvation if not the most wonderious and beautiful woman he had ever seen come to him and led him out of the forest. The best because he got to spend another hour or so with her. But he really didn't know anything about her, he hadn't asked about her past, even though she had asked a bit about his. She was gone before anything really began, but it felt like he had just lost the love of his life of several long and perfect years of happiness, instead of just a few terror filled hours. He let out a ragged sigh, his arms folding across his chest. It was over, and he needed to accept that, no matter how much that stung, she was probably several blocks away by now, too far ahead of him. Without another thought he slumped slightly forward, turned and walked out of the alley and down the street back down the block towards his apartment. ((over?)) |

[[ Of course not! Mrehe. ]] For weeks, Nimue lay in the forest, staring listlessly at the ground and occasionally giving a dirty part of her fur a weak attempt at cleaning. Not ... really worth it. It was when a young man bumbled into the forest that she showed life. The first clue she had was scent. Waves of scent she knew so well as 'human' washed over her nose. A moment later, she could identify whoever the bumbler was as male. Her ears perked with hope; and then she could hear whoever it was, crashing closer. Hope choked her throat until she found it hard to breathe; she stood, slowly, looking around - and then a net crashed over her. Her eyes widened - and she snarled, fighting to get free in a blur of cream colored fur and ragged black stripes, eyes flashing furiously as she slashed at the net. But it was made from very heavy cables, and she couldn't fight free. She thought of seducing whoever it was to get out, but a dart hissed from the end of a gun, striking her in the flank. She howled with pain, then stumbled to the floor. The last thing she saw before her eyes flickered closed was a vaguely familiar face. [[ I could godmod a bit here but I'll wait. discuss this via PM? ]] |

((Mmm... that doesn't seem Darren's M.O. but I can come up with something)) It was like a cut inside of your mouth. Even if you tried to ignore it, you were fully aware of it. When you thought about it, you only became fully and completely aware of how painful the open wound was. Darren had had this 'wound' for the past several weeks, only it wasn't an open cut, it was a woman. A woman he had met mysteriously in the forest who had saved him. When ever he closed his eyes, she was there. And even though so many days had passed and his life had gone on, the urge to see her did not ebb. He hadn't tried looking for her, he had no base to even start from, besides the forest, and he wasn't going in there again. Not after seeing what had happened to the man. It was almost five weeks to the day when he heard some hunters discussing a trip into the forest on a bounty for a kumiho. Darren, being interested in this, had asked the men about it and they explained the exact looks and such of the beast. The resemblance to the monster he had seen was slightly different, but he could not deny the coincidence. He explained to them what he had seen, that the poor old man being devoured. They demanded where he had seen it. They were angered that he couldn't remember exactly where that big meadow was, but they asked then if he wouldn't mind going along. And for the strangest of all reasons, he said yes. He figured if he got lucky he could at least rid himself of one of the things haunting his mind, it seemed logical to get rid of the more dangerous and frightening one. So that was it. He went with them into the forest, wearing a borrowed jacket and boots, he had his own tranq gun with him, because he had refused to wield an actual gun like they held. He did not want to kill it, even though it would no pay him the same respect. On the way through the forest the two men told him tails about the kumiho, and how it was an evil temptress and seductress to men. They told him tales of how men were brought into the forest by beautiful women where they turned into horrid beasts and ate them. Darren was stunned. One by the fact that something like that was real, and two because he couldn't shake Nimue's face from his mind. How strangely beautiful it was, the.... it couldn't be true. She was just a hiker he had run into in the forest. That's all. That was all. "There is some movement, twenty yards northwest." One of the men whispered, looking down at his device in his hands. "kumiho. Definitely. D, you circle ahead and we'll cover you." He ordered, looking at Darren. Darren didn't mind, his suspicions and curiosity fueled him as he stalked through the woods as quietly as he could. Then the beast came into view. It was up looking around attentively. Suddenly the two hunters threw a net over the creature. There was no denying that this was the very thing he had seen eating the old man. But he felt sorry for the poor thing. It had been doing nothing but laying there when they showed up. Darren walked through the clearing seeing it a bit more clearly. On the edge of his vision he saw that one of the guys was drawing his weapon. Darren quickly pulled out the tranq gun and shot it at the beast. He couldn't justify the man shooting it. Killing it honestly didn't seem to be the right thing to do anymore. |

A few hours passed, and Nimue awoke to find herself in a cage somewhere - a warehouse, it smelled like, dusty and with faint scents hiding behind the initial choking scent of age. Why ... am I here...? She managed to stand weakly, staggering over to the side of the cage - and then she fell, panting, leaning against the bars. Wait - wait a minute. For one moment before, she'd thought she'd seen Darren's face... No - she'd been seeing things. The drug, the confused jumble of voices... She curled up in a ball on the cold steel floor of the cage, tucking her nose beneath one of her many tails and waiting for whoever it was who had trapped her to come and visit her again. |

"Look, why do you have to kill it? Honestly, what was it doing that was so bad?" Darren asked in the other room. He was back in his own clothes, he should have left by now, but he could tell his presence was the only thing that kept the creature alive. "You said so yourself it was eating an old man." The guy, Adam, retorted. "Besides, its us or it. That's out it is." "And the fact that we only get paid when we turn in it's pelt." The second one, Samuel, added. "Why this one?" Darren asked, loosing the battle with these two strangers. "Why not this one? The Kumiho is a growingly rare breed. We were extremely lucky to catch one on the first go 'round. Last expedition took three weeks." Adam told him. "Now look, your name isn't even on the bill, but seeing as you helped us find the damn thing, we've decided to let you in on the money. Now stop being such a tree-hugging lump, and go see if it's awake or not." Adam continued, jabbing a finger in his chest. Darren shook Adam away from him, picking up the bag of raw meat from the stack of boxes next to him and he walked into the other room, seeing the monster up and looking around. He let out a slow breath, dead set on not letting it scare him. "I've got some food for you." He spoke to it quietly, holding up the bag of freshly butchered pork. |
