WASABI SHONEN Chapter Two: The Appearance of Rizel:
(A work of original fiction, all characters are my own)
By Rudhheledion

Karasu landed upon the hard stone. He cawed out in agony as his body stretched and transformed once more into human shape. His hands pressed as fists against the gray ground. Black unkept bangs hung covering his face as he knelt. The cloak of raven feathers once more hiding his nudity. He did not look up at her as he remained in his knelt position. He found the Serpent Witch loathsome. Karasu found only one being truly worthy of his gaze when he took human form.
Karasu smugly inquired. \"It appears your little servant has failed, Urugari. What shall you do now? Will you challenge the Mizrae Priest directly?\"
Urugari snapped at the raven knelt before her. \"Do not think me limited in my powers and minnions as you are, blackbird.\"
She nodded her head in direction towards a small spider\'s web. Urugari raised up her index finger. The tiny red spider leaped
from his webbing, leaving a trail of silvery gray behind him. It landed perfectly upon that held up finger. She ordered the small red spider. \"Take word to your master, Rizel. Tell him, The Serpent Witch of Isskale has a task for him.\"
The spider leaped away once more from her finger; breaking the webbing from Urugari\'s finger upon arriving at his own web. He soon started to fly through the air. Moving from tree branch to tree branch; leaving a trail of straight spider threads behind him.
Urugari stood smirking at Karasu. \"None escape the webs of Rizel.\"

He smiled at Mikito. He said excited as he pointed, \"Oh look! There is a village up ahead. Let\'s get a room and some food, Master.\"
Mikito heard his stomache growl. He agreed. \"Well the food part sounds good. I don\'t think I\'ve eaten since breakfast.\"
Kaoru grabbed hold of his master\'s hand and started to drag him into the village. The cat boy\'s tail happily swished back and forth as they entered into the village. He rushed over towards a merchant\'s both; dragging Mikito behind him. He picked up a hair ornament.
He smiled brightly as he looked at his master. \"Do you think this would look good on me?\"
His master looked away from the cat boy as he huffed. \"How should I now.\"
He sniffed at his master\'s comment and moved from one merchant stand to the next. Where ever Kaoru saw something shinny or interesting he moved towards it; bringing Mikito with him.
His master sighed, \"Why don\'t we go find some food now.\"
Kaoru smiled brightly at him. \"This one is an inn. We can get food and shelter here for the night.\"
The blond cat boy pulled Mikito into the inn with him. He paid the innkeeper in a few silver coins for their room and dinner. The innkeeper showed them personally to a table. Kaoru then ordered for both his master, and himself.
A small girl of around twelve years old approached the table meekly. She looked at Mikito. Her hands reached up to grab hold of the green haired one. Her voice quivered slightly as she asked. \"Are you really a Green Priest?\"
He frowned. \"A green priest? What\'s that?\"
Kaoru looked to Mikito. \"It\'s what commoners call your order, Master. Those whom don\'t know much about Mizrae and his servants call them the Green Order.\"
The little blue haired girl smiled brightly at hearing that. \"Oh please. You have to heal my brother. He is badly sick. Please use your powers to heal him. I\'ll pay you whatever I can.\"
Mikito looked into those innocent eyes and couldn\'t say no to her. \"I\'m not sure what I can do. But I promise to do my best. Just let me rest up a bit. Come back tomorrow. First thing in the morning and I\'ll see what I can do for him.\"
She hugged his arm tightly and then ran off.
The cat boy leaned towards Mikito. He softly kissed Mikito\'s cheek as he almost shoved Kaoru away a little to late.
Kaoru told him, \"I love it when you are so kind to others.\"
He simply rolled his eyes at the cat boy.
The waitress soon arrived with their food. He started in on his food as did his blond companion.

He flopped down on the cot. He felt so tired and full. Mikito didn\'t think he\'d walked so far in one day before now. He wondered how long this was going to keep up. He was so tired that he didn\'t even bother to look up as he heard the door open. He kicked off his boots as he heard Kaoru\'s footsteps moving towards Mikito\'s cot.
He felt goosebumps form up along the back of his neck as he heard Kaoru lay down in his cot. He shivered as he felt the semi sharp fingers trail up those goosebumps on his neck. He felt the cat boy pressing his practually nude body against him. The cinnamon brown loincloth of the cat boy touched Mikito\'s bottom, and the green priest could almost feel Kaoru\'s shaft underneath that loincloth. He felt the cat demon\'s arms wrapped around him abruptly and then his tail.
The cat boy sensually licked at Mikito\'s ear. He whispered into it then. \"Let\'s do it, Master.\"
Mikito quickly turned around to face him and found himself kissing Kaoru. The green priest\'s entire face flushed red with heat. He couldn\'t believe that this was happening to him. Mikito tried to push the cat boy away from him. \"No way!\"
Kaoru scolded him. \"Quite kidding around, Mikito-sama. I\'ve been longing to feel you all day. I thought the cool night air might make you a little...\"
He objected. \"Most certainly not! I don\'t do that.\"
The blond youth frowned at that last statement. \"But you\'ve always done it before?\"
He blushed at hearing that counter. He couldn\'t believe this situation at all. He was wondering if maybe he was wrong. That school was better then being stuck in this strange world after all.
Mikito told him. \"Not tonight. We have to get up early. Please Kaoru. Just go to sleep.\"
The cat demon sighed and reluctantly accepted what his master had said. He simply fall asleep holding onto Mikito.

Soon as dawn had come the little girl waited for them outside the inn. She smiled when the two had finally walked out of the inn. She hoped that they still remembered their promise. She looked to the Green Priest. \"Can you heal him now?\"
Mikito shook his head. She took his hand and lead him towards the edge of the village. There on the edge of the village stood a solitary, run down looking hut.
She lead them into that run down, one room hut that she had called home for so long. Towards the center of the room; near the hearth fire, rested a cot covered in rags. A six to seven year old boy slept unpeacefully under those rags. The sickly looking
child under the rags coughed. \"Sister?\"
The twelve year old girl pulled the green priest over to the sickly boy. \"Do what you can for him, please,\' she then took her brother\'s hand, \'Don\'t worry. I brought a holy one to heal you. This one has real power. He\'s a green.\"
The boy smiled. He started to speak only to end up in a coughing fit. His small hand going up to cover his mouth of the germs.
Mikito knelt down beside the bed of rags. He didn\'t know exactly what he should be doing or could do to help him. He did the only thing that came to his mind. He clapped his hands three times and then started to pray over the boy. He said one silently for good health.
A blue vapor slowly swirled into being over top his fingertips as the green priest had closed his eyes. The swirling blue fog spread out from those fingertips to roll across the bed. The vapor glowed once it wafted towards and down into that coughing mouth. The coughing lessened, and the boy\'s skin transformed into a healthy color as soon as the girl\'s brother had coughed in all the blue vapors.
She hugged on tightly to her brother. Tears flowed down her face. Her eyes sparkled with wetness and a smile. \"Oh thank you, green priest.\"
A deep voice spoke from the shadow of the hut, \"How disgustingly touching.\"
All eyes in the room turned to the source of that voice. Two glowing crimson eyes glimmered in the shadowy corner.
The Green Priest demanded. \"Who are you?\"
The figure stepped out of the shadow to reveal a strange creature. Long red hair was tied back into a frenchbraid from the top of his head. The upper body of this strange creature was a sleekly muscled elvish look while the lower half was that of a scarlet colored spider with a white diamond shape in the center of it\'s underside that could be barely seen. An evil grin upon his lips as he answered Mikito\'s questions. \"I am called Rizel. I have come to take you to Redmoon, Priest of Mizrae.\"
Kaoru jumped in between Rizel and his master. He hissed at the spider demon, \"You\'ll not take Master Mikito without a fight.\"
That evil grin spread into a smirk upon Rizel\'s lips. \"How amusing. A demon that defends mortals.\"
Rizel took a couple steps towards the two.
