+Catching Fire+ [Katsuri/Open]

[Elena Stark]

[OOC: Thread is 100% open. Disclaimer: For timeline purposes this is directly after the Titans attack. After they had fled she fled herself, so I would assume certain parties would not be involved considering the other front was attacked during the same time. SOOO moving along. Beginning is taken from last past in quest. XD]

She shouted in such desperation. A complete and utter nervous wreck. Past images flashing hard through her mind as if in the flames she could see her family's death replaying. Her eyes were starting to swell with water, she just wanted the fire to stop. As it finally died out her breathing was still quickened. Hyperventilating wasn't even a question at this point. She felt the world spinning about as a fear washed over her. The fear made her quickly get up grabbing the spear in tow for some reason as she ran away from the field. She ran and ran until her feet finally stopped and she hit her back against a wall. The spear fell to the floor as she dropped it again. Her hands were shaking as she carried different emotions within her. Elena's heart was still racing and she just couldn't stay conscious any longer. The young brunette's world went black as she fell to the ground.

Suddenly footsteps approached.

Elena's bow and quiver were still strapped upon her back as she laid on the cold concrete her newly acquired spear just near. Her tank and cargo pants were a bit tattered but that had nothing to do with the current fight she just fled from, though the blood on the front of her form was still fresh. The approaching foot falls belonged to a man with a lion's head on the back of his vest jacket. Clearly some kind of gang emblem. He stood tall over the unconscious brunette moving her a little with the toe of his foot. Once he noticed she didn't wake he smirked devilishly it was clear his intentions weren't going to be good. The man motioned down and removed the bow and quiver from her placing it on himself. He scooped her up while picking up the spear in the other hand and draped her over his shoulder. For some reason he began whistling a tune as he casually walked off with the young girl. Where was he headed? Back to his men apparently. The day was growing dark as the clouds rolled in singling a soon to come storm, but still happily he went on going towards what seemed an abandoned building where three men stood casually outside.

[Man 1]"Hey boss what ya got there?!"

One shouted seeing his 'boss' at a bit of a distance.

[Boss]"I found us some fun boys!"

[Man 2]"Yeah?! Just in time too looks like a storm's rolling in. Guess we could use something to keep us all warm huh?!"

The men laughed as well as the boss as he continued his approach to the building.

	As big as the 'boss' was, there was certainly one larger, albeit, far less important. If we were talking hierarchy. He'd been gone for a few months traveling, and upon return his previous job at a dive bar had been taken over. Not a surprise honestly, as you could not leave a spot like that unfilled for a few days let alone more. So instead, he got hired on at a few different crews around the city. Mostly, he worked as on site security refusing to 'assault' other territories, but when you were as large as Katsuri was it was hard to be denied for a position meant to be taken by intimidating people. It only helped his case that the way he looked could be described in a paranoid schizophrenic's journal as a man in black. Black suit, black tie, black leather shoes, black sunglasses. All of them maintained with care and precision, not something easy to do with the lack of modern amenities. He was hoping today would be quiet, as he'd already had to reprimand one of the lowers running around here for dragging in another woman kicking and screaming.. now the boss showed up with an unconscious woman and the back and forth was not very reassuring. The big man stood up from his seat on what looked to be a rough hewn log and stepped out in front of the door, a hand coming up to pause the boss. "Where'd the woman come from and why's she out cold?"  May as well have been a loaded question, as the big man was probably getting ready to be assaulted or do the assaulting.. something was going to go down.

The boss drew nearer to the entrance as was met with a rather tall individual. One who annoyed him with his questioning considering he was the boss and everyone else was his lackeys even the briefly hired ones. The bosses eyes rolled as he mumbled mocking the giant's words. He halted just a few inches from him placing the hilt of the spear he acquired from the sleeping girl upon the concrete. Lazily the boss looked up to the giant individual it was hard NOT to be intimidated by the man but the boss was arrogant. Arrogant and probably completely stupid to think to stand up to him. Then again he hired him so why would he bow to whom he hired? Alas though he would provide an answer though not entirely a truthful one.

[Boss] "The fact that you're even questioning me I find completely amusing considering.. This little kitten wanted to play."

He said motioning with his head to the bow and quiver on his back from her and the spear in his hand.

[Boss] "So I defended myself. Good enough for you? So move."

Seemed like he left something out considering his words of 'fun' previously. Maybe it didn't really need to be said. A small sound came from behind the boss as Elena seemed to stir briefly.

~Mmm why does it feel like all the blood has rushed to my head? Ugh my stomach feels like something is lodged there.~

Even with her small moan the boss didn't figure she'd wake just yet but indeed the brunette did as her eyes popped upon and she found herself looking down at the concrete from an awkward height and positioning. Instincts kicked in as she reached up quickly into the quiver retrieving an arrow and stabbing him in the opposite shoulder. He initially felt her movements and was trying to steady her or something but was far too late. Boss man yelled in pain as he dropped, no flung her off him and too the side. The instance of his yell brought a few more individuals out as the men from before rushed over to him. One would think she would've went for a killing strike instead but she hadn't. In truth she hadn't even gotten the chance to deal with what she had killed back on that battlefield. Her instincts at the moment was to survive. Elena found herself hitting the ground hard and rolling picking up a few cuts on her arms. With a groan she tried to quickly get up but found herself still fairly dizzy and fell back on her bum.

[Boss] "GAH! Fucking bitch! I swear I'ma kill her. Get the bitch!"

He growled in pain trying to pull the arrow out of his back. A few men adhering to his words and started making their way to a discombobulated Elena.

	"I see." That was all the big man said, not moving though, still standing just as tall as an oak looking down on the 'boss'.. at least until the woman that had been slung over his shoulder lodged and arrow into the opposite and attempted to scurry away. She failed, miserably, and the hounds began to advance from either side of him. The situation produced a sigh, rather loud, a shake of his head as well, before that jacket of his was pulled off his body and folded neatly over his arm.  The other, free arm, shot out and grabbed the 'boss' about the throat, tightening his digits the curve of thumb and index right against the carotid arteries on either side.  Lifting the man off the ground with the one arm, he dangled him like a rag doll while he gave a shrill whistle. "I would concern yourself with the boss first." Rather that got their attention or not he'd have dropped the man from full extension of his arm nearly eleven feet in the air. Right leg was brought up, dropping it like an axe  shortly after and driving him into the dirt. That jacket was laid across his shoulder and he shifted head back and forth, while flexing his hands and fingers out. They had turned and come towards him at that point, while he just stared at them, almost bored. The first two tried to strike at the same time, fist towards his gut and a leg towards his knee, trying to chop at the big man it seemed. He let both of them hit only to just grunt before sinking both his hands down, engulfing the entirety of their skull with it, dwarfing them. He squeezed until he heard a bit of cracking and both of them started screaming and flailing in his grip.  The one on the left got the big boot first, slamming that eighteen-inch hunk of leather and synthetic rubber into his chest, caving it a little, while fingers let him go and he went tumbling off away from him. Eyes then turned towards the other, whom immediately started praying for mercy, only to get a foot to his chest just as quickly as the first, sending him barreling into the wall of the building. The rest having seen their comrades toyed with like children ran off, leaving the big man to slip his jacket back on. Straightening his tie before turning to look at the woman 'boss' had planned on abusing.

Like hungry savages to fresh meat they came towards her. Elena still hadn't settled from her ordeal it was all fairly fresh to her, how could it not be? Her heart pumped wildly still a mixture of fear, adrenaline and the need to survive. She scrambled to feet only to see the huge individual grab the man she had jammed the arrow into by his neck and hoisted him up as if he was nothing. Well to a man of his size anyone was nothing. But his height reminded her of what she had just came from. Whatever they were they were just as huge.

~Is..is he one of them?~

Originally yes she ran in there a tad bit fearlessly but the hidden truth was she was more than afraid. But fear at that time took a back seat to her preserving her life. The man that came to her switched their target near instantly but it was all for naught. The giant brutalized the men. They were mere toys in his palms. Maybe he was a boy that used to blow up little green army men figures. Though through it all somehow he held some kind of grace, maybe it was his appearance. The fact that it seemed he didn't want to dirty or wrinkle himself. Elena just watched wide eyed at the ordeal unfolding before her every now and again she glanced towards her bow and quiver and spear near the man. She found gravity making her take an inch towards as if wanting to retrieve her items for her defense but that's when the behemoth turned towards her and she froze in place. Again her eyes darted towards her weapons and back to the man and again. Ignoring the pain in her ribs from the spear she took earlier from one of those giants. It was easy to see her eyes started to fade once more. The world fading to darkness as her body began its descent to the ground. Hope she didn't lose her things.

	The big man had just adjusted his cuff-links when he saw her eyes beginning to turn to glass and there was a crack. The big man was far faster than he had seemed with the grunts and the boss, as his foot leaving had kicked up a good amount of gravel, embedding it in the building behind him. Then he was a blur, covering the small distance before she had a chance to touch the ground. Another crack and he'd had stopped just as suddenly as he started, body sliding a bit on that gravel while his balance did not falter. He rose up to his feet, her body cradled with one arm, while the other reached down and scooped up the spear and the bow in the free hand. There was a sigh, "Seems I am bringing home another stray." He let out a sharp whistle, and a pair of howls came from the tree line just beyond the building, shortly after the sound of large paws had a pair of massive grey wolves padding up beside the big man. With the two in tow, as well as the girl and her equipment, he set off for his home, making sure to keep her level in his arm as from the way she looked he had no idea what sort of damage she had taken.

The young girl hadn't exactly been through as much as she could've possibly truly endured considering by the time she had gotten truly in the fray the giants had seemed to began their retreat. The real ordeal was the fire that had started to come out of her hands shooting fire balls everywhere. She couldn't understand why it suddenly happened. Had she unlocked her potential? If she had of all things the one thing she feared so much. Fire. Then again maybe she had just been hallucinating considering fire was present in the battle and she was already a little fearful of that but found a resolve to press through. But to have it come straight from her there was no dealing with that in that instance. All the brunette could do was react ever so panicky. And now here she was again in the arms of another stranger.

He did save her and he didn't have to. But what if his intentions for saving her was so she was his instead of theirs? There were so many possibilities. She may be apologizing later for dirtying his clothes considering the dirt and fresh blood upon her. The blood wasn't much just a little bit of a splatter but still his clothes was so nice and blood wasn't easy to remove. The rain finally started from he darkened sky and it caused the girl to stir in his arms. Last time she stirred she stabbed a guy with an arrow. Raindrops hit her face and her brows crunched in a little. Eyes slowly opened in low silts first seeing nothing but darkness till she twisted her face a little to look up blinking from the water hitting her face. Elena was too exhausted at this point and it was her own fault from the way she reacted prior too. In his arms he could feel one of her arms flex a little like it wanted to move up to do something but it just remained in place. Tiredly she just stared unable to formulate any words currently.

	Sunglasses had been taken off and stashed in his pocket as the rain began, revealing  a rather large, prominent scar along his right, from just above his brow down into his cheek. Fitting, given the rest of his face had several scars, across the bridge of his nose, left cheek, right cheek, left jaw, below his lip on the right. Most of his body was covered in scar tissue to some degree but that was hidden by that well kept suit. He felt her stir in his arms, beginning to move, that hand even making a motion as if it were going to come up but the big man did not seem to falter, rather, did not even seem to notice as he continued to walk along the rubble ridden path to his home. His size meant that he was unencumbered when carrying her, akin to a small child, moving at a relatively swift pace as well, had his bunker of solitude coming up on the horizon, just as the rain seemed to be getting worse. Suit already soaked, blood and dirt running its course against the jacket and white shirt underneath. He'd be spending another sleepless night scrubbing it clean and repairing any damage it seemed. First though.. he had a stray to tend to. Ghost and Grey wolf both were out in front of the big man, they were the first to the threshold.  Katsuri soon after, setting down her bow and spear against the imposing wall so that same hand could rummage for keys, and unlock the equally stalwart wrought iron door. It may not have been able to keep out someone of his ability, but it certainly discouraged the common street rat from attempting Mt. Katashi. Door opened, he pushed it inwards, the muscles on his body straining, if Elena had still been conscious she'd have felt the arm around her tense as well. He dug into the gravel and what looked like a thick solid metal door seemed to weigh ten times more than it should have... thus the reason why just picking the door would do no good, and why there was a god awful scraping which was closer to stone on stone than any form of metal. The two wolves squeezed in before he had it open entirely, and once he had her gear gathered up in the same hand that had his keys and he stepped in. The opposite side of the door once in had a massive chunk of granite, polished to a sheen and perfectly sized to it pressed snug to the door, it made it far too heavy for a normal person to move. He pushed the door back, set her things down on a over sized porch lounge and stepped into his dimly lit house. Lightbulbs were hard to come by, so the ones he had long since ran their course, powered by aging solar panels atop his roof. He'd need to repair those soon enough... She was set down on a cleared kitchen table, cushion pushed under her head, and he turned, heading back the way they came, that jacket being undone as he went. The two massive wolves padded into the kitchen and plopped down in front of the table.. watching her so to speak.

Rain pattered upon her tired face forcing her to blink constantly. It made her sight a bit distorted staring up at the giant. Through the small water like static she managed to make out a few of his features including some of the scars on his face. Cradled like a child she was practically engulfed in his form but there couldn't be any denial that there was some odd sense of warmth and calming. She could barely remember the last time she was ever held like that. A time long ago when she was still a child for she never experienced being held by any other man. But that wasn't the point now. Elena drifted off again practically unknowingly curling into his form a bit, her body shivered briefly from the cold rain against her.

It wasn't until they reached his home and she felt the shift in him that she reopened her orbs once more. The large door and the sound it made scraping against the gravel drew her attention but she didn't full move to get a good view of anything but the door. The wolves still hadn't been introduced to her sight. Moving inside the dim lighting of the room wasn't so hard to adjust to as her eyes lazily roamed about until she felt herself being placed on a table with a cushion being gently placed under her head. So far he had been a gentleman but even with how tired she felt there was a wariness within. She was in his home and the way that door looked and sounded even she knew she was screwed. There was no way she was going to be able to open that. Her things were placed on a couch as she recalled and something in her made her want to get up and retrieve one of them to defend herself if she needed. Call it caution. Call it paranoia. Call it not wanting to be or feel defenseless. His footsteps left the room and as it did she quickly rolled to the right landing on the floor in a small crouch, gripping at her right ribs.

~Damn my ribs. That guy speared the hell out of me.~

She wasn't sure if they were fractured or anything as she didn't have time to check. But that again would have to be put on hold as she finally saw the wolves. Elena froze where she was.

~You've got to be kidding me.~

If one animal Elena liked was wolves, but this situation was a bit different. These were some guys wolves. More than likely well trained at that to protect. Making a move for her weapons would prove most fatal, so she felt. Her eyes remained on the wolves as she slowly straightened herself up just a little keeping a hand on her ribs and another slowly raised with the palm facing them trying to say she meant no harm. A small nervous like smile tugged on her lips as she spoke in an almost hush like tone.

"Hey boy or umm girl..No harm no foul."

~No harm no foul? What am I bloody saying to wolves?~

[Katsuri Katashi]

	The wolves stared back at this woman as she tumbled off the table onto her knees and then froze. Heads tilted, one left, the other right, on either side of the doorway out. Ghost, the white of the two, let out a bit of a huff before plopping down with her head on her paws making no more noise, staring at the girl. The other, however, began to growl lowly at the girl, continuing to sit, but those lips were curling up a bit. Grey Wind, black fur, was beginning to warn her not to approach.  No sooner than the wolf had begun to growl did the figure appear in the door way, holding what looked to be a first aid kit, though, a closer inspection would have found a red cross stitched into your stereotypical messenger bag. He had no idea what kind of damage had been done to her, hence the kit, but he did raise a brow as he entered the kitchen to find her on the floor, full conscious and speaking with his wolves... "They wont bite if you dont give them a reason to." That was a little broad of a statement.. but basically boiled down to not threatening him, this house, or themselves.. pretty simple when you looked at it like that. It helped these animals were nearly as big as the giant was.. his house also seemed to match if she had taken the time to look around the room. Everything was over sized, even the table she had been laying on.

For some odd reason Elena's head mimicked the wolves tilting for no real reason. As she was rising to her feet a little more she watched as the white wolf plopped on the ground with a huff. Animals huffing was always a bit amusing to her but right now there was no amusement found upon her face as the black wolf began its warning. Elena never had any intention of moving forward from the moment she even spotted to two oddly big wolves. Yet again the time to fully process was cut short as the man from before appeared again. Hazel orbs slowly inched up the mans form then to the bag he carried. If he meant her any harm why try to heal her up first? Maybe he truly was just trying to help. Looks are usually quite deceiving or occasionally spot on. His words rang with truth, a truth she was fully aware of. She wasn't ignorant to the world of wild animals and considering her interest in wolves she knew all too well the different types of wolves and behaviors. She was usually pretty good with animals though.

She lowered the hand she raised touching the table she was previously on creating a perked bow quizzical expression. Her head almost snapped towards the direction as underneath her hand she felt the thickness of the table. Now she truly saw the size of the table and even though it made sense considering the man before her the expression hadn't changed.

~No wonder the drop felt a little further than it should've.~

Her eyes began to scan observantly around noting the things around her. It was almost like a polly pocket in a Barbie house. As her eyes flowed back to him, still holding her right side, she really only had one question at the moment that needed answering.

"Are you one of them?"

That was vague.

"I mean one of those giant like beings that attacked those others moments ago."

Her voice wasn't full of fear. Her voice was steady with her accent shinning through her speech. It was cautious and questioning. Elena remained in her current spot awaiting for his words and actions. She was after all kinda stuck in his home and he had two very big guard dogs. But that didn't mean she couldn't put on a brave face.

	When Katsuri approached and spoke, the ears on the black had gone from being flattened back against her skull to alert once more, lips uncurling. One of the big mans hands came down, softly ruffling the fur on top of her head, a lick being the response from the wolf before both of them got up and walked away. Reassurance it seemed. Then again.. the big man always seemed to have better luck with animals than he did humans. He walked over to the table, unworried of the woman being akin to a cornered, injured animal. Setting down the bag he'd have offered his hand out then to her, his palm facing up, almost like one would outstretch a hand to an animal, to help her back to her feet. "I don't know of whom you speak, but the best I can do is tell you that I am not responsible for your injuries, or most likely whomever else you saw injured.. my previous employers being the exception." Speaking of the thugs of course, the ones that had attempted to abduct the poor woman. He had noticed the way she had been gripping her ribs... if she'd broken them, the best he could do was give her pain medicine, but he did want to check for other injuries at the least.

Though she was placing a somewhat brave face as he neared her right foot gently slide back a few centimeters. Caution was the word of the day. Her foot ironically slid with a bit more easily do to the fact her boots were wet. She was still drenched and dripping water onto his floor. She was was focused she hadn't even noticed it anymore. Her clothes had started to suck onto her curves, her hair had long been out of its ponytail and draped on her back with some dangling in the front. Remnants of water droplets gently crawled down her face every now and again. As she stood and he drew near extending a hand her head tilted up to keep her eyes well on him. He was tall as hell. Neck straining tall. Elena's let out a small 'hm' while her face twisted with a look of wariness.

"You are as tall as them."

Elena was beginning to wonder just how far from the field had she ran that he didn't hear anything.

"You didn't hear all the commotion? The drums? The yelling? Ow."

Her little wince was towards the small twist she accidentally did forgetting about her ribs. She rubbed the area lightly. For sure she was lucky it wasn't broken but bruised and swore was still rather annoying to deal with. She mumbled under her breath, glancing away almost rather adorably in her frustration. For some odd reason Kilik always said she looked adorable when she was frustrated, she hated when he teased her like that.

"Bloody giant spearing me."

[Katsuri Katashi]

	Tall as them? The clan is not in town are they?... I havent moved.. they would've sent someone by now... hmmn. Who else is that big? Well. Size aside, as he had met a few others close to his height.. just not many. It made no sense for the family to be attacking people. Besides. If that old man had been involved this woman would be dead. There was a visual shudder at the thought of having to deal with Hotaka.  That gone he focused back on her once more, Drums and yelling? "I am afraid I did not.. though I could have potentially been distracted at the time.. you were not the first woman that I had to free from the clutches of those cretins today." Granted it was an underling responsible for the other, none thel ess, he was glad to be moving on to the next employer. Her swearing was cute, and it did bring a smile to the big mans lips before he sighed and looked back to the bag. She did not seem to be having trouble breathing so chances were she did not break many ribs if she did break any at all. He rummaged around it and pulled out what looked to be a vial containing three balled up leaves. He popped the cork on one and rolled it out into his hand. Even if society was trying to restore itself, as far as production was concerned most things were still like living in the middle ages.  He offered it out to her, "Here. Chew on this it should help with the pain and the healing process." It was made up of several different things arnica, ginger, ginseng, turmeric, ground shark cartilage, all slathered in fish oil and wrapped up in red seaweed... it tasted god awful, but the combination would not only help reduce swelling and pain, it would help with the mending of bones and even boost ones immune system and in some people even their mood. It was a disgusting cure all.

[Elena Stark]

There was something about him that Elena couldn't deny and that was the way he spoke. Despite his size and appearance there just seemed to be some kind of flow of eloquence with his words. It didn't put her completely at ease because she saw that even with that his brutality was certainly intimidating. Would Elena admit it? Probably not so much out loud due to her stubbornness. She still hadn't even thanked him for saving her which brought up what he had said about her not being the first. No matter what happened in the world some things about men just didn't change. They still seemed to enjoy dominating and violating woman.

"I could've handled it."

Again spoken under her breath. Her stubbornness was cute. She didn't like to feel weak. For far too long she had felt it, having people save her at the expense of their own lives. She promised she would atone for their sacrifices and she didn't need to keep adding to that list. But in truth if it wasn't for him she would've been nothing but a petal-less flower. A mere wilted stem. She was in no shape to truly right them off coherently at the time. As he pulled a vile out of the bag her eyes slowly turned towards his direction wondering what it was. Her body turned to face him with a perked brow watching him drop the balled leaf in his hand and stretch it out towards her. The smell alone grabbed her and shook her head from the stench. Her arms folded over her chest sticking to the wetness of her tank top. Her brow still perked with a expression of mistrust and totally not happening.

"For all I know that can be poison. I'm not putting any foreign food in my mouth."

Elena had experienced some odd remedies from Eury, and Kilik but she trusted them enough. Then again they were the type that if you refused they'd probably sneak it into your food anyways. Right now she wasn't budging on the matter.
