Everything was still. Silence par the breathing of the four individuals. No one moved. Then suddenly time stopped, the zoldycks disappearing leaving Mari to jump high into the air spinning to avoid the first attack.
Time resumed, as the game begun.
~~~
Mari jumped high into the air, landing softly on her feet just to be greeted by zeno's fist. Smoothly she dodged, sidestepping using her open hand to guide the fist past her, before ducking under a kick sent to her by illumi. It missed her by inches, but that's how she liked it.
Grinning, the three continued to dance, Sliva stood on the side-lines following the movement looking for a perfect opportunity to attack. What unnerved him though was the fact that the girl's eyes always seem to snap to him whenever he thought about moving, like she knew what he was planning.
She continued to block and dodge, dancing in-between the attacks that showed no sign of letting up, the movements were fluid, no waste of energy or weak spots in their guard. They were professionals. Every action had a purpose, with more than one movement to join. She breath out slowly watching as zeno moved in front of her to attack, while illumi moved behind in an attempt to trap her. Placing her hands on illumi shoulders she flipped over him, allowing the male to take the hit instead as she stepped back.
They had been at it for ten minutes already, and no one seem to be letting up. Illumi was curious of the female's action, so far he, himself and zeno had given her plenty of opportunities and chances to take the cloth, which was the plan. Take her cloth while she when for theirs. However she didn't take the bait, nor did she have any indication of attempting to take the cloth. She was a hard nut to crack, illumi though but he will learn her tricks to manipulate in the future.
Maybe he should think of another plan? Something crazy out of the box...
"Come on, one gotta try harder than that~" she purred, gesturing that they come at her. When neither male moved Mari pouted, "Fine then, I come to you but you need to try harder than that! You're not even trying to take it from me, put some effort into the game guys"
She kicked off from her position, flying towards sliva in attack. Sending him a couple of attacks, she managed to catch him arm, and proceeded to flip him over her hip earning a grunt from the currently head. She flipped back as both zeno and illumi join in on the next bout of sparring, Mari noted from the felt of things the males were starting to become serious.
She grinned, joining the fray.
From anyone else looking from the outside, or in this case milluki watching via the cameras he had placed around the building, one would be able to figure figures dancing about the room. At first it would look like the action from a Chinese marital arts movie, but quickly turned into a blur, movements unnoticeable on the screen, as the three of them fought.
An hour had passed, and Mari was still keeping the boys on their toes. So the zoldycks, decided to change tactics.
Mari continued to dance, dodging attacks, sending a few kicks their way. The smile still plastered on her face, but her eyes were narrowed. She noticed a changed on the zoldycks movement, one thing they had up on me was teamwork, and from the looks of it, it looks like their trying to con- SHIT!
She internally swore, they had cornered her, illumi blocking her escape, while zeno and sliva attacked on either side time seemed to slow down, she couldn't escape nor could she block both of them, meaning she would have to take one of the hits... great.
She blocked zeno, sending him away, before a kick sent form sliva collided with her stomach. She frowned slightly, but made sure to protect her cloth. His kick sent her backwards, the necklace that was always hidden flew out of its confinements not that Mari minded she focused on protecting her cloth and coming up with a stagey against illumi.
"That cross, it couldn't be..." zeno stated earning the attention of everyone present.
Mari eyes shot straight towards zeno, the grin faded to revile a dark dangerous look. He knew about her cross?? That's not possible maybe he mistaken it for something else. Her eyes locked with zeno's widen shocked expression. But it wasn't just seeing the cross that shocked the old male it was that Mari hesitated.
Hesitated losing the chance to come up with a plan against illumi. Everyone saw the hesitated as she flew backwards, backwards into the strong grip of illumi.
"Aww, illumi if you wanted to cuddle you should have told me!" she giggled the grin returning to her face like it never was there, trying to take the attention off her necklace. While attempting to break his grip- with no luck.
Her arms were being crushed by her sides, as illumi grip tighten on her. Her back against his front, it was a comfy position despite their situation, perhaps the stone face male was a cuddlier at heart? She paused in thought thinking about her current situation-Aw hell no was she losing this thing!
She kicked his shins, trying to loosen the males grip. With no success, illumi held in a grunt and gripped tighter while zeno and sliva were slowly approaching, like they would to a dangerous creature. She stopped struggling which unnerved everyone. She looked her the males, a pout evident on her face, "aw~ you guys are no fun!" she whine, causing the man to sweat drop before tensing - her nen flaring.
Illumi looked down at the petite girl in his arms, to think she was able to get the zoldycks to up their game- while herself looked like she was playing was surprising to say the least. It was time like this that the male forget how small she was, her head was level with his chest but her feet were barely touching the ground. And what was the deal with the necklace? It seemed insignificant cross that the girl liked? Did his grandpa know something about girl that he didn't? Just from the necklace, and what made him more curious was the fact that she hesitated. Something Mari was not known to do at all. The girls nen flare, and all illumi could see was... white feathers??
Illumi was shocked not that his expression could show it.
A pair of white feathered wings broke through his iron grip, Mari jumped around a wing swiping at the older males who jumped back to keep their distance. She faced them, moving into a defensive stance, her mind still spinning with questions as she tucked her necklace in. Though the damage was already done.
It was safe to say she was distracted, with the new revelation not that she let it show.
She froze, a shiver of pleasure rocked up her spine as a hand stoked the innermost feathers. She face turning red, as the pleasure increased. "Illumi!" she growled turning towards the dark haired boy while shuttling her wings, "stop playing with my wings!"
In the background Zeno and Sliva, sweat-dropped with the sudden change of attitude....
"There soft" he stated simply.
"That they are sweetie, but if you stoke those feather...." She spoke softly, illumi spotted the lust growing in her eyes, "I will be unable to control myself and I don't think your folks want a show of me taking you, we leave that for the bedroom~" she purred, moving onto her tiptoes to get closer to his face.
The male paid no mind to her warning, moved a hand to stoke her feathered wings again, "illumi~" she wined unable to hold in a moan, "no fair"
Illumi leaned forwards, "by the way you lose," he stated simply.
She blinked, looking down before turning to Sliva and Zeno who stood behind her the cloth piece in his hand, a small smile across his face.
"Damn it! I lost~" she wined, placed her head against illumi toned chest, "to make it even worse I'm horny..."
She signed, the wings retreating back into her back as she plopped onto the ground, sitting in a un-lady like fashion, she tugged on illumi leg, "join me on the floor you're all too tall"
"No" illumi stated bluntly.
She pouted, arms crossing over her chest, "I make you scream later." She muttered.
But everyone heard clearly, "what was that?" question Zeno giving the girl a questioning look.
"Nothing~," she sung sweetly, giving the older male a closed eye smile before continuing, "your hour starts now, what would you like to know?"
To be continued....
