Upon getting outside Mizuki indicated a spot for Alton to stand. Before them some distance away was a tree that had holes littered all over it. "Thats your target" He said to him "Now take and arrow and string your bow" Mizuki watched as Alton did as he was told. Pulling the strin back Mizuki looked at Altons forum and everything.

Moving forward Mizuki tipped mhis elbow up and pushed on his stomach "Shoot from the base not from the hands and your will never miss" Mizuki then took a step back and watched Alton fire the arrow. It was off to the side a little but it still hit the tree sinking deep into the bark "Good....again"

[Rosekitten]

He had to admit he was a little annoyed he forgot suck a thing with the positioning. Using guns for such a long time he had forgotten bows were different. He wasn't happy with the first few strikes he had made. In fact his normally flawless aim seemed to evade him today. Maybe he was just thinking too much and allowing himself to be distracted.

Standing there a moment he waited till he had breathed a few times before opening his eyes again and cocking another arrow back and releasing it. This one was dead in the center where Mizuki had wanted him to shoot this whole time. Though the other seemed to this this was a fluke as he said again. Though he seemed quite capable of repeating this process without the pause this time as the arrow landed as close as it could be to the other one in the center mark.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki watched every arrow tht was shot out from Altons bow. Each one got closer and closer to the mark but none hit them. This was when he noticed that Alton lowered his bow for a second before he raised it and drew back an arrow. Mizuki watched and couldnt help but to smile. The form was perfect and only to proove him right when the arrow was let go it went and hit its mark right in the middle of the tree.

"Again..." Mizuki said wanting to see if the first arrow was a fluke but as three more were shot and they all landed within the same area he nodded his head "Great...now collect your arrows and do it again" He said with a nod of his head. It was going to be a long day but it was needed. There was alot of things in the forest that wouldnt think twice before eating you.

[Rosekitten]

He saw that last line coming, he felt like he was back in drill camp again. Just with bows and arrows instead of guns. Doing as he was told he returned to the spot before repeating the same process over. Though it seemed easier this time around to keep them on the mark or as close as he could to it.

Though to be honest his mind was rather blank at the present time, he needed to keep it that way or else he would miss. Everything kept reminding him that he was stuck here no matter what happened. He needed to learn how to live here.. otherwise he could see his life being a short one.

There were too many questions to be answered for him to just give up and accept all of this just yet. He was going to find a damned way to get to whoever did this in the first place and find out what they wanted or why force people to come here just to be slaughtered. Though apparently his empty thoughts died a little when he ended up thinking on the fact he was beyond pissed. The next arrow that left the bow sunk in deeper then the last arrows.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki watched and took into account everything that the other male did. Everything was okay but then the arrows began to change with the intesity of each one. This was only prooven more as the last one was shot and sunk half way into the tree. Looking over Mizuki sighed before walking to the tree with his eyes closed.

"One must first divulge in what causes them to stray before a winding path becomes straight' He said yanking out the arrows from the tree but he left the last one shot there. Turning towards Alton he opened his eyes his tail thrashing about behind him and his ears sunk low and back hidding into his hair alittle.

"There is something that you dwell on that can not be changed" Mizuki spoke softly before walking forward and handing all the arrows back towards Alton before continuing his speech 'For it to be forgotten you need to remember" He said before he walked to where he stood before. It was going to be along day "Again" Though Mizuki ws stern he thought on his own words.

[Rosekitten]

He sighed a little knowing that Mizuki was right in what he said. He had heard similar words before. "Next time they alter someones form they should go about removing memories as well." He said not really as a complaint but more as a statement. That was his thoughts other, the other might not understand seeing as this was his normal form. Though he found it almost a cruel punishment for something he didn't do to be tossed onto or into a world he had no idea about and then to just be left there.

Taking a moment he regained himself before returning to the methods from before. Why did it bother him so much that he wouldn't get to be near his past here. He should be happy that he could forget things here, if he was stuck here why dwell on what happened back then. Unless he feared a repeat.. Maybe that was why it was bothering him.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki listed to Alton as he spoke and he rested a moment on the males words about memories. Yes it was true that memories could tear a persons soul apart slowly Mizuki was a living example of that. Though at that thought Mizuki shook his head in thinking. "No.." Mizuki said causing Alton to stop a moment "Memories is your past and your past defines who you are. Everything was ment to be and shall be as long as it can be." Mizuki said

Mizuki knew that he was talking in riddles and it maybe hard to understand but it was the only way he knew how to confide with another persons soul. "Everything happens for a reason, its that reason that makes you who you are. To change that would be to change you" With that Mizuki turned a little and walked away heading back into the hallow leaving Alton to his thoughts.

[Rosekitten]

he was a little annoyed with the riddles and all, but he figured he'd get use to them. Most of them were common sense after all. He sighed a little before agreeing with the words of the other. That didn't mean at times he didn't want to forget. His hands were stained with blood that would never come off and he knew that.

Though after he spoke again the other seemed to walk off back towards where they had been staying the past few days. Probably to leave him to his thoughts. In truth he was glad of that, he had been forced almost to spend every moment with the other so it was nice to have a few moments to himself.

He didn't go straight back to the hallow, no instead he went to where the water area was from before. He was just going to sit there a while, it was close to the hallow and it would give him a few moments to think. Also the sound of the water was calming at the least. Why was everything here forcing him to remember his past.. nothing around this area even had to do with his past.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stayed within the hallow for a while until he gathered his things. It was time to gather something for the meal that night. Leaving the base he looked about and noticed that Alton was no where in sight though judging from the smell around the area he wasnt that far away. Shrugging his shoulders Mizuki turned and ran into the bush.

The hunt was easy killing what seemed to look along the lines of a rabbit. Though this creature was larger sharp teeth and black fur. Two stripes of white traveled down its back to a tail that fluffed out. Heading back to the hallow Mizuki paused for a moment. Stepping close Mizuki peered out through a thicket of vines to look down and see Alton.

The male was sitting at the falls bank with his feet in the water. Mizuki could tell from the males body posture that he was thinking of something that was wrather upsetting. He frowned a little at the sight but then the frown was gone as soon as it came. Why should he care?

Mizuki was about to turn around when he his ears twitched picking up a twig snapping. Instantly he dropped his catch and jumped or rather dove head first down from the high tree branch. Taking out his dagger mid fall he barreled into the side of a Masceller (giant cat type thing).

The creature roared as they barreled into the water of the falls. Mizuki used every inch of his body to cover the large cat. His legs and feet prevented the large beast to use its hind legs while his tail held onto a right front leg pulling it back rendering it useless.

To keep the head from biting anything it shouldnt Mizukis left hand held it under the chin straining the head of the best back to expose a soft neck. As the beast struggled Mizuki said a prayer in his head before stabbing the tender exposed neck. The struggling slowed to a stop and Mizuki grunted as he let go laying back with his breathing heavy. "Well...that was fun" He said sarcastically.

[Rosekitten]

Needless to say his thoughts were disrupted from now where as he noticed the struggle. At first he was going to question what he was fighting but he second guessed that. It wouldn't do much good anyway. If he had thought the other needed help he would have done so, but it looked rather well taken care of.

When it was all said and done he shook his head a little listening to Mizuki speak. "You know .. if you wanted my attention you could have asked instead of going through all of that." He knew that wasn't the reason the other had done that but still, he felt like a smart reply was fitting to what the other had said.

To be honest he was rather impressed with the fight and how quickly it ended, but at the same time he had wanted a few more moments to himself. Then again it was getting later into the evening by now, it was probably better that he head back anyway before he got lost in the dark.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki gave a little laugh at that "Trust me if I wanted your attention I would have it" He said simply before pushing the beast off of him and standing up "You just lucky I was around when that happened' He stated not that he didnt think that Alton could handle himself it was just because of the males thoughts the one thing that gave the beast away he missed.

Mizuki shook his head before he stood. Grabbing the beast by one hind leg and a front on he grunted and he slung the best up on his shoulders. "Come one...this was small compaired to the things that lurk in the dark' He said before wading out of the water and onto the shore line. With out another word he headed for the hallow.

[Rosekitten]

He wasn't sure he liked the way the other talked. Sure he could and should have been paying more attention. But still he could have handled something like that.. It was over and done with now though. He started to voice his thoughts on ever think you'd be doing me a favor to let it eat me. But no he kept said thoughts to himself. Probably for the best.

When Mizuki spoke again and started to head back towards the hallow he decided to follow him this time. He never questioned on him dragging the best with him or nothing. He would offer to help but knowing how his guy acted he figured that would be a waste of breath. Who knows it might be a insult even. Either way the way back to the hallow seemed peaceful enough, though neither of them spoke any words at all.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki when they returned headed right for the hallow. Taking the beast with him he decended the stairs with ease before heading out the back of the hallow. Mizuki slightly woundered if the male ever took a look around. The main room was only part of the large tree.

Along with it rested two other rooms and a kitchen area. Though leading out of the kitchen like area was a back yard for all intensive perpouses. Though this was covered with trees and bushes letting little to no sun light through but the plants lit everything Nicely.

Walking over he placed the beast on a wrack hanging it so it didnt touch the ground. He would go about skinning it tomorrow. Though now thinking about it he really had no choice seeing as how his catch from before had been spoiled. Though he may have enough to feed them the night. Walking back inside he began to go about the kitchen.

[Rosekitten]

He had thought about looking around the hallow, though for the time being he rather just stay where he was told to. In truth he did't plan to stick around long enough to call this place 'home'. Not he would rather go find a way to make it for himself. Aside from that this guy.. he couldn't put his finger on.

He wanted to think the guy was helping him, though it seemed that whatever or whoever had given him the signs to help him seemed to be the only reason for this act of kindness. Even through all of this he didn't trust the male before him.. he had the upper hand here and he knew that. That fact alone bothered him more then he let on.

yet there was something else.. like something told him this was all suppose to happen. Everything in his life until now had been so straight and and arrow and planned out. Now he was stuck out here with no idea where here was and let alone no idea on the wildlife.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki went about preparing something for them to eat. All the while his mind was on other things. like why did the great mother want this Alton alive and just what role did he play. Mizuki was confused on these things. Even though he showed talent with a bow and he was strong there are other things that can make a man weak.

Mizuki stopped for a moment in his actions thinking on that. Yes...there was other things that could make a man weak. A mans past could ruin him and Mizuki knew that all to well. Slightly he shook his head and growled to himself as his tail thrashed back and forth.

It took him awhile but soon a nice hot soup was placed into bowls as bread was grabbed. Walking back into the main room he looked to Alton who was still just sitting there. Placing the bowls down infront of them Mizuki once again lit a fire in the middle of them for warmth. Chanting something small he blue out of his right hand that was up to his mouth.

From there a small bubble grew out from his hand growing large to about the size of a coconut before it floated up and over the fire collecting the smoke as it rose. Reaching for his bowl Mizuki picked it up before looking at Alton who seemed to be watching the bubble above the fire "Its not the best but it works..."

[Rosekitten]

Oh course he was watching the bubble, hell he thought this place was just a odd version of where he was from.. but that. That seemed more like magic then anything else he had seen. Well aside from the plant that nearly ate him. "Not the best? It's pretty impressive to me." It was doing it's job that was certain. Though he was still trying to wrap his mind about how exactly a bubble just formed form what seemed to be nothing..

Maybe that was part of the altering that .. whoever did to him.. were they trying to get the resources here and the magic or whatever powers these where? He had to get that thought out of his head. Maybe they would leave him the hell alone if he stopped thinking about it. Though he doubted that ...

At the same time maybe soon he could get some answers if the group that put him here did contact him. Either way he shoved it out of his mind as he spoke again, not expecting answers really. "Can everyone do that?" He stopped on that for a moment before speaking again. "I mean.. I assume your not the only one living here." Aside from the animal life of course.
