The Sacrifice (Kotori X Wolf)

[Guest WolfDog12]

 

 

Name: Numa

Age: Unknown

Gender: male

Species: Demi human (Water drake)

Family: Suichi (Brother)

Bio: Numa and his brother Shuichi live in deeper water swamps While Shuichi has the biology closer to an alligator, Numa has taken on a far different form. Though, the two simply took after their parents who died several years before. Numa was just like their father, while Shuichi took after their mother. The two were always very close and Numa always acted like the older siblings even though they were basically the same age. He loves his brother and would do anything to keep him safe, but Numa was always far more powerful than normal alligators anyway. Even he wasn't entirely sure of what he was.

 

 

 

"Don't wander too close to the shallow waters or you'll end up caught by something," Numa warned his brother who simply smiled and brushed him off. Unlike Numa, Shuichi did need to breathe air. The odd drake swam a little closer to the surface, still keeping a safe distance from the actual land. Numa was far faster, far stronger in the water, that was sure. He didn't want to get beached, as where his brother crawled up onto the land and found a nice patch of sun to bathe in.

Name: Yukio Hase

Age: 32

Species: Human

Personality/history: Yukio was raised in a wealthy family, although neither of his parents saw him as more than just a means to show their own superiority. They pushed him from a young age to get the best grades and to ignore "childish" things like playing and having friends. This caused Yukio to become very cut off from relationships in general and focus only on his passion for science.

He worked his way to his current job which he enjoys because of the independence and power it gives him. He is very interested in studying demi-humans, although he doesn't actually care about their well being. Yukio is well aware that many demi-humans are sentient but has hidden this information because it would mean he would have less control over his experiments.

All of his peers see Yukio as cold but a brilliant researcher.

 

 

The peaceful afternoon mood was shattered by the sound of a tranquilizer gun firing. It hit Shuichi in the neck, releasing enough drugs to knock the demi-human out in moments. Before Numa was given time to react there was another crack of a tranq gun and a second dart lodged itself in the drake's arm. A group of men in ghillie suits leapt from the forest as the drugs kicked in. They quickly muzzled both of the demi-humans in case they had some sort of breath powers and began to bind them.

 

The two brothers were kept heavily sedated as they were transported back to the lab. They were kept under close watch, carefully bound so that they couldn't move but also wouldn't be harmed.

Finally they reached the lab where they were both given thick metal collars and then released into a large white room with a bullet proof glass wall. The floor of the room sloped down into a pool, which was also against the glass wall, giving them nowhere to escape the gaze of their captors.

 

Yukio was already waiting for them on the other side of the glass. His emotionless gaze fixed on the new specimens. He had never seen anything exactly like them before and was looking forward to seeing how they might react to this new environment.

[Guest WolfDog12]

As his brother suddenly dropped heavily, Numa shifted a bit and curiously looked out towards his limp brother. "Shuichi?" He called gently but as he started to peer above the water's surface, there was a biting pain in his arm and Numa whipped around to see what bit him. However, before he could find the culprit, his vision blurred and he was soon asleep, sinking slightly in the water before finally being fished out.

 

When he finally woke again, it was far brighter than the thick canopy he was use to and Numa blinked a bit before forcefully sitting up and looking around for his brother. "Shuichi?!" He whipped around before finally catching sight of his darker scaled sibling before his hand reached towards his neck. His gills felt dry and he felt as if he couldn't breathe. Numa wasn't as use to breathing air and sometimes forgot that he could. He found the collar on his neck and panic set in as he pulled at it but it left little space for him to breathe... He had to try.

 

With one more glance to his still sleeping brother, Numa forced himself sideways, down the slope and into the water where he gasped for breath and tried to calm down... Though when he finally took a look around, there was no calm. The drake whipped around back and forth before throwing himself at a few of the glass walls, looking ready to murder something. He continued for a while until he noticed Yukio and let out a deep growl and moved closer to him. He looked ready to pounce at the glass again when he heard his brother waking and paused before quickly crawling back up to his brother's side. Even with the drugs still in his body, Numa was damn fast in the water.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio stared at the demi-human without flinching. He knew that the glass was thick enough to protect him from the creature. He began to make notes on his tablet. Clearly this creature could breath under water as well as in air. It didn't seem to have any interest in attacking the other captive creature, in fact it seemed concerned for the other's well being.

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa was keeping a more level head now and as he pulled himself back onto the "land" he was able to breathe properly and get close to his brother, curling himself around Shuichi and helped him wake up and kept him calm. Shuichi woke and leaned into Numa who wrapped an arm around him and held him close, looking around for an escape route. It didnt look like one was present. He had to keep his brother safe.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio watched the way the first demi-human wrapped around his companion protectively. He smirked as a thought crossed through his mind. It wasn't likely that either would be able to understand him, but it was worth a try. He selected something on his tablet which made the speakers in the cornees of the enclosure crack to life. "Can either of you understand this?" He asked, his voice filling the room.

[Guest WolfDog12]

In an instant, numa threw himself protectively over his brother and growled towards the sudden sound. Of course, he understood a little and Shuichi simply coiled beneath him. Numa stared at the speaker, glanced at his cowering brother, then looked towards the human behind the glass and offered a nod. He wasnt sure what was going to happen next but protecting his brother was all he cared about. It was clear by this reaction he also didnt want the darker scaled demi human to know he could understand.

[Guest Kotorichan]

'Facinating...' Yukio thought to himself. "It seems that you care about your companion." He said through the speakers. "If you cooperate then I'll make sure no one hurts that one... If you decide not to cooperate then..." He pressed a button and Shuichi's collar administratered a low electric shock to the demi-human's neck.

[Guest WolfDog12]

As Shuichi reacted to the shock, jumping and clawing at the assailant, Numa growled and began biting at the collar, desperate to get it off him. The two found for a minute before Numa dove away from his frantic brother and threw himself against the glass before facing the human, hands pressed against the glass. "F-Ine" he managed. He had to twist his voice a little as it had been a long time since he spoke like this but it wasnt too straining and he could get his point across. "Leave.... him.... out of it," he growled.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio chuckled softly as the two reacted to the collar. He turned off the electricity. "I will send someone in to bring you to a separate room." He said through the speakers, keeping eye contact with Numa. "If you fight back then I'll hurt that one again."

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa was struggling to keep up with the conversation but he understood and let out a deep growl. His eyes were cold and wild. He wanted to remain here and continue his push back but he would be leaving, he'd spend the time with Shuichi where he could. Numa returned to his brother and the two coiled in close with one another and Numa draped himself protectively over his brother and the two sat there, calming down and waiting for what was to come next. As the door opened, numa pulled away from his brother and slowly forced himself onto his feet to follow. He was weak and shaky on two legs but he was still strong and managed to figure it out. Shuichi called after him and tried to follow but Numa tried to continue ignoring him the best he could.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio waited for Numa in a blank room with a table and two chairs facing each other. He sat in one of the chairs, making some notes on his tablet. The men who brought Numa to the room gestured for him to enter.

Yukio smirked up at the demi-human, his eyes roaming over Numa's body as he took in every inch of the new species.

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa was leaving a trail of water with every step and flicked out extra water while trying to use his large tail for balance. It certainly helped. He entered the room but seemed rather uncomfortable about it. With a cold glare, the water drake kept his eyes on Yukio as he moved a bit farther into the room, still close enough to probably dash for the door if needed and he didn't seem to pay the chair any attention. Numa didn't know of chairs and to him, it was just an object sitting in the room. Without actually speaking, Numa stood there waiting, practically asking what the human wanted of him without the words leaving his mouth.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio nodded to the men who had brought Numa, they hesitated for a moment before shutting the door behind him. Leaving the two alone. "Do you have a name?" Yukio asked, leaning back in his seat.

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa was also very curious as to why this man was risking being alone with the drake, but he didnt say anything or show any sign of wanting to take advantage of the situation. He just continued to shift in place and keep his focus on Yukio. He wasnt sure if his name could really be translated properly and seemed to hesitate, thinking about it before simply nodding without actually saying his name. Numa wasnt doing this maliciously or anything, he just wasnt good at speaking this language and it caused him to struggle with translations.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio let out a soft sigh of frustration when the drake just nodded. He pulled up the live security footage of the room where Shuichi was waiting on his tablet. He turned the screen towards the demi-human and pointed at it. He waited until he seemed to have the drake's attention before pulling out a small remote. He tapped a button on the remote, administering a short shock to Shuichi's collar. "Your name" He said, this time more firmly.

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa was on full defense mode as the human started fiddling with something before the feed came up and he tilted his head. How was his brother in the tiny box? It looked like he was in the same room as before but it was all teleported into the small box? The drake took a step closer, still curious until he saw his brother wriggling in pain before numa jumped and tried to understand what was happening until he saw the button on the switch from before. Numa growled and jumped forward, crashing into the chair and table, grabbing on and snarling. "Stop..." he pleaded. How was he suppose to give his name?! Numa made an odd sound that wasnt english and repeated it 3 times until the human understood that it was his name. Numa paused and began working out his name trying to translate it and he thought really hard until he managed. "N-nu..... Numa?" He tilted his head before nodding. "Numa." He bit his lip and hoped his brother wouldn't be hurt again.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio didn't flinch when the drake lunged forward. His eyes just narrowed as he prepared to turn the electricity onto a higher setting. But it seemed like the demi-human was cooperating so he left the collar off. "Good" he pointed to the image of Shuichi. "Name? And what is your relationship?"

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa thought for another several minutes working out the translation before switching to offer at least some information to please the human and hopefully distract him. "Related... Brothers," He managed before turning back to the name. "Shichi.... Shuichi," He finally got to. This name was even harder to translate than his own but after several long minutes he got there.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Brothers... Interesting" Yukio thought out loud. He turned his tablet back towards himself and began to take notes. "How old are you two? And are there more of you?" He liked that Numa was cooperating, it would make it easy to take advantage of this situation.

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa got really fidgety and uncomfortable when the small box turned away back towards the human. Numa began to stretch and coil, trying desperately to get a look at the screen again. "No one else.... just two... several summers old.... Don't know proper age..." he admitted. Numa wanted to see the screen but kept the space and remained on his side of the desk.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Yukio chuckled softly when he realized that Numa was trying to see the screen. He made a few more notes and sent a couple messages before turning his attention. He asked Numa a few more simple questions about where he had lived and what he ate. Eventually he leaned back in his seat. "Do you know what the word 'experiment' means?" He asked.

[Guest WolfDog12]

"Fish... Swamp..." Numa was still struggling to find the right words but was trying and getting a little faster. Though, why ask about where he lived... Did this man not know where he pulled them out of? Where they were stolen from their home? It was weird. Numa eventually ended up on his knees, holding the edge of the desk with his hands and put his head on it. He was tired of standing. "Expe.... Hu?" he tilted his head. That was a very foreign word to him. There was no translation either. "Never heard..." he said.

[Guest Kotorichan]

“I see, your vocabulary is rather limited I suppose…” Yukio thought out loud. “But it isn’t actually important for you to know what an experiment is…” He smirked down at Numa. “I will be doing things that will be painful. If you make things easy for me then I won’t have to involve your brother. But if you fight back then I will do painful things to him as well. Do you understand that?”

[Guest WolfDog12]

Numa wasnt offended by the comment about his vocabulary. How was he suppose to know more? It wasnt like he ever went anywhere or learned from a human or anything. He knew what he knew and his teacher died years ago. "Painful things...." he got really uncomfortable and wanted to get angry and get defensive but... he just couldnt. He had to protect his brother no matter the cost. "I'll do it... just don't.. hurt Shuichi. I'll take... pain..." he managed and frowned more. He hated this but knew what he had to do.
