Tora .
I remembered how Nekomata would say my name . She would pronouce it holding the R longer than she was expossed to .
Back then , when I first experienced my power , I had killed my father. My mother , had tried everything to save him . After all , he was the one that had saved her. I just sat in a corner, to scared to move, until I had losted it. I went into a rage, and ran. I killed anyone in my way, anyone who dared tried to kill me. That is until I had met Nekomata. I was trying to find food one day, when I saw her collapse onto the ground. I had helped her up, and found out that she was just exhausted. I was going to leave her the next day, since all she needed was a good nights sleep, but there was something about her, some type of ... happiness. I couldn't ignore it. So I sat with her until she had woken up , and the first thing I had heard from her , was thank you.
"Thank You."
"Oh, well, it's not that big of a deal . I mean , you passed out so it was only natural for me to help you."
"No, you must not be from around here then."
"Baka, I don't like it when people talk like that. Then people from around here must be horid if they wouldn't help a lady who had passed out in the middle of the forest."
Nekomata had laughed, and I had let out a small one also.
"I'm Nekomata." She had sat up , and leaned against a tree trunk.
"Hey, I'm Tora." I smiled my awkward smile, since I didn't really know the meaning of a real , smile.
"Are you homeless, Tora?"
I looked away, and she just stared at me.
"Come stay with me. I have enough room for another person."
"I can't , I'd just be a burden."
Nekomata looked like she was going to smack me , but just clenched her fists.
"You're now the Baka! You will never be a burden to me! Please, just , say , yes."
I was shocked, no one had ever talked to me like that but my father. I had to laugh out .
"Fine then , if you're going to make such a big deal out of it. Then I'll stay at you're house for a while. BUT it won't be a big sleepover party. I like to leave at night occasionally." I folded my arms , and sat Indian Style.
"No biggie. Do as you please, you're eyes though , have they always been, red?"
I froze, Nekomata had been the first one in a while to ask that.
"No. They changed just about a year ago. Ok , instead of asking questions, lets get home." I then got up , and reached out my hand. Nekomata had grabbed it, and that was that.
Now, here I stand with Francis, and find out that my precious Nekomata is dead.
I then sees D.Kyuubi , and I feels a sharp pain in my back , and a voice saying.
"Go Tora, go KILL that monster!" I just pretended that I hadn't heard it, and continued to listen to Francis.
"That means..." I had said...`he's immortal'
"I'm immortal."
I frooze.
