Making an Alliance <Lu-Shuan>

[Sia]

Bi hummed gently, as she walked, her posture, perfect, like it always was. A gentle breeze blew in from the northeast. It was nearly dusk, and she hadn't covered a whole lot of ground. She was very far from her clan, and she didn't know the area very well. Which might be one of the reasons that she hadn't traveled very far, a simple problem, inexperience traveling. Curse her 'young' age. She let out a gentle sigh. She sat on a rock, as she rested her aching feet. She scanned around the area, looking around, for something she could recognize. Her efforts were futile however. The wind blew again, she looked around again, thinking she heard something. "Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me..." she said in her quiet, gentle voice, shrugging off the feeling. She stood up, streching a little bit.

[Naraku]

This was the day the Tiger clan would take the young out and play and for a joke the other adult Tigers brought Lu-Shuan along seeing as he hasn't made his transformation into an Adult Tiger. But soon that time will come. A scout came back and whispered into Lu-Shuan's ear as he walked forward leading the tigers towards the Demon that was disturbing there peace.

Jumping on a rock Lu-Shuan appeared to be a white tiger cub looking at the Rabbit Demon.

"What brings you here?"

Lu-Shuan said in a deep voice that seems impossible for a tiger cub as he layed down on the rock while the others watched and as the kids played but with caution.

[Sia]

Bi turned quickly around and looked at the seemingly tiger cub. A gentle smile came to her lips, but she looked at him with skeptical eyes. "I'm simply passing through, I had no intention of disturbing you," Her soft, sweet, nearly childlike voice being of huge contrast to the tiger demon's deep one. Her eyes went to the other tigers for a breif moment, her smile grew a tad as the cubs played, even if it was with caution, she really did love kids. "I hadn't a clue that I wasn't allowed to pass through, I seemed to have gotten a tad lost in my journey." she said with an added sigh.

[Naraku]

Lu-Shuan looked at the rabbit demon and stood up and leap to the ground as walked to her looking at up her his eyes sparkled. The other Tigers looked at him as if he was insane and was ready for anything. Lu-Shuan sniffed the demon and smiled showing his young fangs.

"I'm Lu-Shuan general of the Tiger clan and yourself?"

Speaking with his deep voice coming out of a body so small. Lu-Shuan had a hunch about this demon since not many demons knew about this field.

[Sia]

Bi smiled gently, wondering how something so small... and dare she say cute? be the powerful demon general of the tiger demons. "It's an honor to meet you General Lu-Shuan." she said with a graceful bow. "I am Bikou Momen, general for the rabbit clan." She looked at his barred teeth with apprehension. "And I assure you, I am not here under hostile terms, General, I would like to think the same on your part as well." she told him with a soft, sincere smile.

[Naraku]

Bowing to her Lu-Shuan smirked already knowing that the rabbit clan is a peaceful clan and thats all he wants. Walking around her he lays in the grass as he signals to the rest that it is alright as the young cubs run around freely playing and as the adults watch and talk to one another. Lu-Shuan lays in the grass next to Bikou.

"So I'm assuming your here for something?"

Asking with anticipation, Yawning as the sun glares down on them and as the cubs play trying to include Lu-Shuan and the other adults.

[Sia]

Bi smiled at the Tiger General, as he laid in the grass next to her.

"Actually it was quite a coincidence that I'm here I was not scouting for this place, but rather happened upon it. However, since fate seems to be on my side, I do have a proposition for you, General." she started, simply speaking the truth.

"As you may know, the tigers and rabbits haven't always been on the best of terms with eachother. But, I don't see much differences between our clans in the way we veiw things, and dont know why the animosities have been as such. I humbly ask for the tigers to let any harsh feelings to be burried, and wish to spark an alliance with your clan." Her voice was calm as she looked towards Lu-Shuan, eyes glistening with hope.

She needed strong allies in times like this, and as the new rabbit general, she was determined to assure such for her clan. "I understand if you need time to think about it General, I assure you however, no matter your decision, the rabbits will no longer harbor any ill-will against the tigers." She said simply.

[Naraku]

Hearing her comments Lu-Shuan stretched looking at the cubs play and some of of other older cubs come and see Lu-Shuan next to the rabbit demon they start to play. Lu-Shuan thinks back to all the times the Tiger clan attacked the Rabbit clan and also hearing a rumor that they are allied with the Snake clan.

"I wish for nothing but peace within the world but us Tiger clan have alot of enemies as I'm sure your clan does as well. As rumor has spread within my clan you are also allied with the Snake clan and as much as I would accept your offer the snake clan cannot be trusted "

Looking up at Bikou Lu-Shuan speaks in his deep laid back voice wanting the alliance but is cautious of the other clans.

"My Clan harbors no ill will to your clan...On any other occasion I would gladly accept your offer"

Speaking in a disappointed tone.

[Sia]

Bikou smiled at the cubs, a soft gentle smile, and she gave a look of confusion towards Lu-Shuan. She tilted her head to the side, as she thought what might give reason to these rumors. She smiled simply and shook her head. "I can assure you, I haven't a clue as to what you are talking about. Simply they must only be rumors. I have not had any association with the snake clan what so ever, and to everything I know about my clan, which I hope to be a lot; we have no such alliance with the snakes. Our current condition with their clan is a neutral position, one that has been in place for years before even my own time." she commented with a sigh.

She smiled at the general. "I appreciate your skeptism though, Lu-Shuan. It is truely a sign of a leader. I understand that you have heard those rumors, and take them into consideration when this deal has come up. I would like you to take in the consideration of this too, however, that rumors are just that, and do not always house the truth." She spoke in a regal voice, as she considered what could have been the start of such a rumor, and as to why it was brought up.

"If you still have skeptism though, I will not push the topic further, and will humbly take a neutral position with you rather." She did not want to make it seem as though she was trying to push the tigers into an alliance, and sent yet another soft smile the general's way.

[Naraku]

Lu-Shuan nodded wondering if he should go find out how this rumor got started and why he thought to himself as he looked up at Bikou and held out his paw as his crystal clear blue eyes stared at her.

"Well then I'm sorry for the confusion but I would be proud to have and alliance with your clan"

Lu-Shuan paw held out as the other tigers watched and wondered why and if it would work.

[Sia]

Bi smiled, her deep red eyes meeting his own crystal blue ones. She took Lu-Shuan's paw. Even with his being simply cub paws, it still over powered her small hand. "Oh no, the pleasure is all mine." she said with yet another gentle smile.

There is no need to appologize, the confusion is perfectly understandable Lu-Shuan." she said with a smile, "If I had known about the rumor earlier, I would have adressed it much sooner, and now that it's to my attention, I will look for it's source along my journey." she stated with a nod.

[Naraku]

Nodding Lu-Shuan looked at the cubs playing again and then at the adults watching him and Bikou, wondering who started the rumor much less who started it and who would get punished for it when he found them.

"Haha Yes as will I once I get back I shall start and investigation and start and official notice that your clan is our allies "

Lu-Shuan unleashed a mighty roar as some of the off duty soldier stood up and ran back to the clan. As the cubs tried to roar to copy Lu-Shuan.

[Sia]

Bikou smiled, "That would be very much appreciated Lu-Shuan." she admitted. She looked at the young cubs, and stiffled back a soft laugh. "It seems as though you are very popular with the young ones." She said, not meaning to change the subject, but rather finding it very sweet. She missed the young rabbit demons giving her the same treatment at home. It gave her a twinge of home sickness. None the less, the smile stayed perched on her lips.

[Naraku]

"Yes they give me power to protect them"

Lu-Shuan said as he looked at her then back at them as the wind blew onto him. Lu-Shuan transformed into his Human form sitting next to Bikou.

"Whats the Rabbit village like the people and there beliefs?"

Asking since they are allies it would be good to know so him and the Tiger village will help defend them when needed.

[Sia]

She smiled at Lu-Shuan, now in his human form. His answer was a good one, and it warmed her heart to hear.

Bioku stayed quiet for a while as she thought of the things she could say about her people. She had never really thought of how to discribe them before, she really hadn't had the need to.

"Well of course we're all individuals, and so no matter what I say, it might not hold true for all of us." She started, "Though I suppose that if I had to pick some discriptors I would say we're a very peacful breed of demons. We rather not have any unneeded violence around. And we try to make everyone feel welcomed, because we feel it's better to shower an enemy in kindness and hospitality than treat them with hostility. In the end I guess we just don't understand why everyone can't try to get along... Though now that I think about it, it's a rather naive and idealistic way at looking at the world."

She admited this with a slight shrug.
