Trickster's Champion

[InsaneTruth]

(A one x one between me and Ricia. :3)


The sun beat down on the small town’s fair grounds the air was humid and heavy almost to the point of being smothering. Despite this fact all the town was having fun watching pig and dog races eating deep fried fair goodies and riding on the roller coasters and rides that had been set up the night before. The smells and sounds of the fairground attracted a lot of people some from out of the town one out of town fellow had set up a little stand his bright blue hair a beacon attracting attention from nearly all passerby's eyes, he had a stand for jewelry and sunglasses; though, for some odd reason, most people felt a bit odd when around him. His polite smile and smooth voice, however, made people forget their initial hesitations; though an older lady who taught Sunday school at the church was trying to warn people away from the charming fellow. “Do not fall to his evil temptations of false gods!” she pleaded to people but for the most part she was ignored. The charming stall owner didn't make a move to stop her from harassing his visitors after all he was looking for only one person today and he doubted a superstitious old lady would scare them away. So far though nobody had caught this man's eye but he knew the person he was looking for was here. He would find who he wanted. In his hand he held a simple rope necklace with a bright blue stones inlaid in it, it even seemed to glitter and gleam a warning light but like the old lady nobody headed the warnings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It wasn't very long till a girl had run up to the stall were Kai was. She looked like she was in highschool and had a childish grin about her, "Oooh its all so pretty!" She said admiring the glittering jewelry.


Not far behind her was a man, or women in a button up shirt and a tie. They had blue hair just like the man at the stall. It was a strange sight, though the girl in the button up did not seem to mind. Sage smiled at the girl admiring the jewelry, though she seemed to have no personal interest in it. "Oh Sage these are all so pretty!" She gushed a bit.


Sage chuckled a bit, her smile just at pleasant and plastered at the man's at the stall, "Indeed." Though the thought of getting it for her mother crossed her mind more than the girl in front of her, who was obviously her current girlfriend.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smiled "I see the little lady is impressed with my work? I do believe a stunning red or a deep purple would suit you well... and for the fellow bluenett... this rope of dragon tears perhaps?" The man asked with a smile "said to cure and sooth any ailment, a stone more rare then diamonds here however it is as common as quarts where I hail," he smiled again at the Lady "perhaps a charming moonstone? it would bring out your eyes,"

 

[Ricia]

"Sage! Can we get some please?" She asked turning to the taller girl int he suit.


Sage smiled at her, "Sorry love, I don't have any money." She said without missing a beat.


"Whhat, not money? But you dress so nice!" She complained.


Sage chuckled a bit, "If you were dating me for money, then you are dating the wrong guy love."


"Your parents must be rich..." She said with a bit of attitude.


Sage smirked, "Well that is hardly my money is it? Its my parents. I haven't worked a day in my life." She lied smoothly.


"You're so lucky!" The girl whined. Sage chuckled one more and shook her head, "Sorry love, I have money for food for us today and thats it." Sage looked over to the guy and shrugged at him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"My treat? after all the lady is a lovely creature, just do me a favor and spread the word?" He held out a heart shaped moonstone pendant on a lovely pink silk ribbon for the girl. Then looked to Sage "surely you have someone who could benifit from the dragon tears healing?" the necklace was simple the rope around the stones was fine and looked to be rather sturdy the stone matched their hair color perfectly.

 

[Ricia]

Sage raised an eyebrow at the guy, though the girl next to her squealed happily. She looked very skeptical of him and he could tell. Reaching out Sage took the small gem in her hand and looked at it between her fingers, "Yeah.." She said with a small sigh, "So who would you be? So we can, 'spread the word?' Besides the fake god of course." Sage said motioning to the lady yelling.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai's grin spread "why my dear, she might be right you never know," then he chuckled "My name Is Kai, Kai Shiro Sohma," He smiled at the pair "please do come to my shop I'm opening in town when you have the chance, I will sell jewelry and clothing. It'll be called The silk closet to be cliche,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage raised an eye brow at Kai, "Sure thing." She told him. Though she folded the necklace up and pocket it into her shirt.


"Aww, who are you going to give it to?" The girl asked.


Sage smirked, "I don't know yet... maybe I'll give it to you later."


"No way, that one is not as near as pretty as this one.." She said happily.


"Hmm then I guess I'll give it to some other girl who will appreciate it." Sage said with a smile.


"What? Sage not funny!" Sage said hitting Sage's shoulder.


Sage laughed a bit and then pushed the girl to walk into the fair a bit more, "Well Kai, its been a pleasure. I will perhaps see you later." She said with her usual pleasant smile.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smiled an waved at them as they went off his grin almost devilish he had found who he wanted he had expected it to be a girl but he liked surprises after all.

 

[Ricia]

Sage spent a good amount of time escorting her girlfriend around the fair, though around mid afternoon the girl had to leave for something. Sage didn't pay any mind to her leaving but decided she should have abit of fun herself. After frolicing by herself for a bit, Sage took a moment to sit down on a bench and rest. "Ah... long day.... Maybe home soon."

 

[InsaneTruth]

The jewlery stand had seemingly disappeared without a trace of it's existence and Sage felt very calm and relaxed as if she were already at home in bed resting. She also felt very good nothing hurt nothing was anything but amazing and the words Kai spoke of the dragon tears healing property ran through her head as if he was saying them to her again.

 

[Ricia]

Sage pulled the small jewel out of her pocket to look at it. She admired it for a moment before letting a small smile grace her lips. Picking herself up off the bench she begain to move to go home. No where else to go today... her mother was waitting for her anyway and she would appriciate the thought of thus peice of jewelry. It would make her happy.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The gem pulsed lightly unnoticeable to humans but Sage's small bit of happiness made the stone glow that much brighter. From a place hidden in the clouds a blue haired god watched his web unfold watching his new toy all the way to its home. 
"only for the first hundred years,"

 

[Ricia]

Despite the talk of the girl that was with her hours before, kai's new toy lead him to a small broken down looking house rather far down town. Sage opened the door with her key and then quietly shut it behind her, "Mother?" She called when she got in.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai watched her rather curious now he hopped down to the ground and fased through the door knowing nobody could see him as he was cloaked at the moment.

 

[Ricia]

Sage walked through the small entrance it opened up into a smaller room the had a small wooden stair case going up. To the side of the stare case was a door, which was open and the faint sound of a tv was going in the room. Sage walked into the room to see a woman laying on the couch asleep.


"Mother... i've told you not to sleep on the couch... you'll catch a cold." Sage said leaning to touch the women's shoulder. She stirred and looked up to Sage.


"Home so soon?" She asked sitting up.


Sage smiled, "yeah... I brought you something. A rather nice guy gave them out." She said before putting the necklace around her neck, "one of those charms... says it helps heal ailments." She told her.


"Thank you sweetheart... did you have fun." She asked, though she looked at the large gem happily.


"Mmm, I suppose. Its was fun enough. I'll go cook some dinner. If your tired go to bed. Ill get you when food is done." Sage told her.


Her mother smiled sadly at Sage left the room. Though she turned her head to look back at the tv, a small hand wrapped around the jewel. It was clear that this woman was pretty sick and might not be in the world much longer.


Sage on the other hand walked out of the room and crossed the small hallway passed the stares and into another room which had a small kitchen and a table. Sage picked up an apron and placed it around her neck before she pulled out a bowl and a few other things.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smirked he had found his entrance. How he would be able to make her play along with his game. He walked into the kitchen and leaned on the wall still invisible though. He went into her mind "to save her... there is a way," he whispered in her mind. "an easy way to save your mother. A cure,"

 

[Ricia]

Sage paused and looked around a moment. What? What was that? Was she going nuts? Kai watched Sage put a testing hand on her forehead to see if she had a fever. No fever? "Maybe I am going crazy..." she told herself as she picked up a knife to start cooking vegetables.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Not crazy, I can save her," He said once more in her mind "if you are willing to gamble a bit that is," he walked to er and took the knife from her still unseen.

 

[Ricia]

Sage jumped a bit though she looked rather serious as she spun around, "ok voice... what's the gamble and who are you?" There was nothing there... but yet she was hearing things and stuff being taken from her hands.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am affectionately known as the Trickster," Kai smiled "don't let my name fool you I am quite powerful and healing a sick mortal... is childsplay," He handed her the knife back and smiled "see I have grown irrevocablybored as of late... I want you to alleviate it, I want you to swear to kill me and I will train you of course in the art of god slaying you will be unable to die or age till you complete your task and till the task is complete you shall be my champion,"

 

[Ricia]

"How about we give a face to a name? I hate to be continueing to talk to myself. Also whether or not you can or can't heal my mother is not my concern when I hear the term 'trickster'. More along the lines or... is this a trick." She said taking the knife back from the invisible force.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai appeared but cloaked in heavy blue robes of silk and a white mask on his face "Feel better? I told you my name now I show myself, also this is no trick I make a gods oath if you play along and agree to kill me I will do as I said heal your mother and keep you alive and young," he smiled under the mask,

 

[Ricia]

"I don't care about myself. You'll heal my mother and then I'll kill you?" She asked. "Sounds easy enough." She said, though she almost didn't sound convinced. She was again making the sceptical face.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"If you never kill me it means you will have to remain my champion till the end of time are you willing to gamble this? If you are take my hand," he held out a delicate hand his nails painted blue like his heavy cloak. "And then Sage you will become immortal and have a healthy mother,"
