It had been a relaxing, and peaceful morning in the forest. A forest near a small chain of mountains. The birds were singing and chirping happily, the animals were at their usual routines, and there were no raging demons. Everything seemed... Peaceful, a very rare thing in the realm of demons. Everying seemed happy... Well... Wrong.
Behind a trunk of a large tree, supporting the hiding spot was brush and bushes that complemented the tree nicely, was a Inu Yokai, a dog demon. It was an orphaned dog demon, a young one, still a child it seems.He sat Indian styled, and his sense of smell was activated to the mask, as well as his sense of hearing. What was he doing? Well, he was waiting for a demon, or most likely a human since it was a normal trade route, to pass through the forest path. His stomach was growling, gah, he needed some food. He wasn't THAT hungry, like about to die, he ate yesterday... After getting his ass beaten by a damn demon.
It was autumn, of course, and the temperature today was cold, about 56 degrees. Cold. So, he had his mokomoko wrapped around his neck like a scarf, trying to keep himself warm while he waited in silence. He had his knife drawn, laid on the ground by his side in case something attacked him.

The young Hebi Yokai moved through the forest on this peaceful autumn morning, his slitted red-brown eyes scanned the forest for any signs of prey, perhaps even one of the coveted jewels he had heard about on his travels?
But, as he crouched and walked through the grass with his bow drawn, he came upon nothing but cold air, his longcoat was closed because of it, but the cold blooded boy stil felt the temperature on his face and hands. The wind caused his blue hair to sway back and forth a little bit as well.
Eventually, he could hear the breathing of something, it appeared to be human or Yokai oh well... perhaps he could bait an animal with their corpse?
He loaded an arrow, and unaware that the being was actually an Inu Yokai, he ended up firing it in the boy's direction. Regardless of whether it hit or not, he was already on his way into the clearing to check and see if he made a good, clean kill like he had hoped.

A scent! he caught the scent of a demon getting closer and closer, it had recently and carelessly entered the area, and was headed his direction! Oh, maybe he'll have something good that he can steal? He felt so evil thieving... But it's all he could do, it's not like anyone would offer him a home, food, and care right? He closed his eyes, preparing to enter his mind and imagination when suddenly...
A semi-loud sounds of the arrow point of an arrow hitting flesh occurred as an arrow entered the Inu Yokai viciously, causing him to burst into whimpers as he fell over, onto the ground. An arrow... Goodness! Could it have been a demon slayer? A hunter? This was bad, he was helpless at the moment, and a hunter was probably going to waltz over their and finish him off, he was done for if that'd happen! He had an arrow sticking out of his torso, oh, thankfully it didn't hit any vital areas. He reached for the knife on the ground and held it close, preparing it's ability in case a hunter approached him. Oh, how much this arrow hurt...! He wanted to pull it out so bad but he was too afraid to, he didn't know what it hit. He just laid there letting out quiet whimpers, much like a pup would when injured.

Rei entered the clearing, he scanned the area for any traces of blood. Oh, how he could smell the blood! How wonderful, it was. Now, as he walked to see if he could find his target, his keen eyes found an arrow, and it was sticking out of... a child's torso.
(Note: If you wish, you may have your character attack him at this point in time.)
Paying no mind to the boy, he swiftly muttered a cold,
"God dammit!" under his breath and moved closer to the child, with his thumb and the rest of his hand making a V, he pressed it along the arrow and against the child, before taking the rest of his hand, grasping the center, and pulling.
"Perhaps iyou should've paid more attention." He said calmly, his forked tongue poking out of his mouth a little as he spoke.

He was startled by a suddenly figure appearing through the brush. He seemed to have serpentine slit pupils, much like a snake. Of course, this was the first thing he took note of. His dog ears folded to his head as he came closer to the boy, showing that he was intimidated by the curse uttered.
When he got close and grasped the arrow and tugged slightly on it, that's when the little demon drew the line. He suddenly swiped the knife that'd be in his hand to inflict a slash upon the Hebi's wrist, trying to push him away and thus, the arrow would be still inside of him. It was obvious he was in slight pain, for goodness sake it was sticking out of his body and it stung, hurt! Even if he was a demon and his body heals faster than a human's.
He wasn't really looking for a fight, he was trying to defend himself. He was really sensitive and easy to scare, especially with an elder demon standing before him.

The young man let out a sigh as the boy suddenly moved, blood flowed from his wrist as he wasn't fast enough to react. Though, he continued to tug at the arrow until finally, it was dislodged from the wound.
"Stupid kid..." He muttered to himself, his s-s came out as slight hisses due to his nature.
The blood on his wrist made him sigh and wipe it on his arm, he was starting to feel pain, because he hadn't moved, the cut had been deeper than if he would've tried to dodge. His cold eyes scanned the area, while his ears listened for traces of animals to kill.

He let out a loud yelp at the dislodging of the arrow, rubbing his wound and wincing. He stared at the demon and was now convinced that he was a demon. He looked at his bloody wrist and then back up at him before getting on his knees, and asking in a low tone, still suspicious of the stranger.
"Do you have anything to spare...?"
He was hoping the demon may take him in and keep him as a companion at least, he was slightly hungry and he was pretty parched for water. He struggled up to his feet, holding his wound and hoping for it to recover fast.

He repied in a cold, sharp, hissing tone to the boy's question,
"If I had anything to eat, I damn well wouldn't be here now, would I?" But that didn't mater, he looked the boy over, he was small, which meant he was agile. Agility was great for killing animals, which in turn meant that this boy, could not only feed himself, but Rei as well...
"You've got weapons, make yourself useful."
With his bloodied right hand, he held the bow, with his left, he notched and arrow and pulled back on the draw-string, a silent creak was heard as the recurve bow... well, curved.
Rei let the arrow fly and quickly loaded another one. The arrow hit a tree a few yards away, and birds came flying from it in all directions. With a second shot, he clipped one's wing, and quickly set off towards his downed prey.
Smaller animals were all the more fun. They could be swallowed whole...

He sighed and looked down at his feet. Every time he'd try and get something to eat a demon would try and steal his kill. It gets irritating but it can't be helped, he felt weak. He looked up at the Hebi Yokai and sighed. What now? Well, he could offer the demon something.
"... I'll do anything... I'll be your companion..."
Oh, he hoped he wouldn't piss the demon off. He didn't feel like getting beat up or anything like that. He hoped he'd accept this offer at least, he needed some sort of protection, or some demon to bond with maybe that way, he'd feel like he has someone to look to when things get bad.
It was getting midday, which is when demons usually stir. When they come out to hunt, hunt for something to eat, or hunt for their own funeral. Sometimes, it's just to kill for no reason - like murder. Though, the time it was, only minor demons come out then. later on would be when the major ones do.

Rei motioned for the boy to follow him as he went to make and collect his kill, his coat trailing behind him, some gold trimming on the wrist stained with blood. Eventually, the boy said he'd be his companion. So, the small child was a vagabond as well, hm, and now he was offering to be his partner in crime? How foolish.
What Yokai traveled with another, demons were beings of solitude, well, for the most part. Rei actually responded in a semi-kind manner, however,
"Well, look. If you can defend yourself, and feed yourself, you don't need a companion. If you're willing to follow, however... then that's fine."
He yawned, his forked tongue flicked lightly as he did so, a bored expression crossed his face as he witnessed the poor bird trying to take flight, but only moving around in circles a few feet from the ground.
"Kill it." His cold voice commanded, he crossed his arms and waited. This kid seemed hungry, but he WAS still just a pup by Inu Yokai standards, meaning it was unlikely he had built the nerve to kill, just yet.

He looked at the suffering bird that seemed to be in a bunch of pain. He wasn't used to killing, he was raised by a monk after all. He was taught the doings of good. Sadly, that monk is gone now. He was raised with a purified soul, so it's difficult for him to kill a suffering being. He shuddered lightly as he reached over to pick up the small bird, tempted to kill it. But, he couldn't do it. Instead, he held it securely.
He hadn't been taught by demons, he didn't even know who his father and mother was. When he was born, they both were killed. So, nothing was a real influence on him, only the monk that raised him like a child. How did he get food, many may wonder, if he doesn't kill? Well, he used his abilities to his advantage to thieve from others. Plus, he usually begged in villages.
"I-I... I can't do it..."
He said with shame, stroking the birds head and attempting to gently remove the arrow from it's wing. It probably couldn't fly, oh, how he wished he could help it at that moment.

Rei watched this was a look of disgust, that was his food, and his kill. This stupid brat had seriously taken his food and turned it into something of a pet!
"Fine." Rei walked up to the small raven, and withdrew the arrow from its wing, before stabbing it several times with it. A cold way to kill for a cold man... It's blood stained the tip and shaft of the arrow, and likely the boy's hands as well,
"Kindness will only get you so far. You're pathetic." He almost spat these words at the boy, everyone, even HUMANS knew how to kill, for god's sake!

The bird in his hand was suddenly stabbed repeatedly with the arrow, which made him gasp and whimper with sorrow. After the barrage of stabs, he mourned the bird's brutal death. Why would the man do such a thing? Why was he so cold? For once the boy actually teared up at the cruel words launched at him. These words were hurtful, very hurtful to him. He felt like nothing but rubbish.
Dropping, the now dead bird, his hand splattered with the bird's blood, he looked at his hands with disgust and began to wonder, what was wrong with him? Why did he deserve these words? He looked up at the elder demon, sniffling and rubbing his eyes with the clean back of his hands, sweeping the tears the were visible away.
"... I can't help it... I guess I am pathetic then...Why're you so mean?"

Rei being Rei, when the boy dropped the bird he picked it up with his right hand after placing the arrow back in a quiver on his back, the boy began to cry from his words, and all he could feel was slight anger at the boy's weakness.
He reached out with a pale, slender hand, and at first, he reached out as if to comfort the child, but then... he hit him. A slap across the face from someone without much physical strength.
Why was this boy so PATHETIC? Seriously, wasn't he a Yokai? A proud demon? the boy's tears faded over time, and Rei only let out a second sigh as the boy's question,
"I am a demon. I am SUPPOSED to be mean. Something children like you clearly don't understand. Why? Because you were probably raised like a human until a certain point in your life, but you thought it was all your fault.
NOT ME!" A second smack across the face was given now, the cold demon was apparently as abusive as he was aloof. Weakness such as this sickened him.

He was suddenly slapped, like a bitch. A bitch slap. This was so common for him, he was slapped like this numerous times, but this time, he was going to lose it. He was tired of being slapped and all the stress and pain and sorrow created in him from being treated like total shit was about to release itself at once. He lifted his hand to rub the red spot on his face, a lost expression on his face. It wasn't long till he was smacked again! A second time! What the hell?! He was abusive! VERY! So cruel... Someone needed to teach him to not be so smug... Teach him a lesson.
He stood there, frozen for one moment. As if paralyzed. In shock. But suddenly, he let out a vicious growl of anger, signalling that all this stress and hurt was finally revealing itself, in a destructive form. He was very advanced in the stat of speed, and it could easily be abused by him, but he cannot for some reason. Though, when his anger and stress breaks out, this becomes a weapon. Suddenly, a very swift and unexpected punch, with his claws sticking out, launched from his figure towards the demon's abdomen as he growled. With his sharp claws sticking out, they'd easily be able to impale him in the stomach with the force such as this, plus the force would push him back harshly most likely. He was pissed, and he wasn't playing around.
With his other hand, he shot his hand down to retrieve the single knife that'd be laying on the ground, due to having dropped it, this would be good to perform a counter attack in case the demon avoided his attack.
