The Reaper King's Entry

"My my... what a strange place." the odd being said to himself.

There was strange reports all over Kaseki's realm, the Unknown Lands, about odd appearances of strange cities and towns. Kaseki had stumbled upon on of his reports. He arrived to an eerrie town encased in a thick fog, or mist rather, and a strange feeling of death. "Father would be proud..." he thought to himself as he stepped into the city limits.

The town itself was barren, no life was found, Kaseki sensed nothing.

"Lavender Town..." he read off an old weathered sign.

"Interesting..."

"A hooded man walks here near. To approach me shows no fear..."

The keeper of Kanto spoke in a cold and eerrie tone. If Kaseki hadn't known better, it would have looked like Death spoke to him. But Kaseki knew... Fouth Horseman was not Death.

"Answers is what you seek, in my city... you shall not seek."

The cat lady laid in the cemetery on one of the many graves there basking in the sun. Flickering her eyes she heard the voices of the people not that far away. Stretching her back and making a yawning noise come from her mouth. She got to her feet and started to sneak around. Hoping on the roof of the house her tail flicking back and forth as she watched the two. They could see her from up on the roof tops as she watched them intensely. Her red eyes gazing at them like they were her next prey.

Form where she sat she could hear their conversation. Although she didn't really care if they saw her. She was more interested why they were here. Neko had just arrived her 3 days ago and had fell in love with the sun here and the grassy meadows of the cemetery.

"Oh god... It's you." Said Kaseki.

He remembered Fourth Horseman from his past. It was something to remember. It was a deadman that spoke purely in poetry. He seemed to be something of a bad joke, resembling Kaseki's father, Death. whatever the reason was... whatever brought him to power... was not a laughing matter.

"Oh, and what do I have the honors... Your 'kingdom' is in my Pandora." said Kaseki. He was beginning to get fed up with all of the new faces in his realm.

"I think you not to understand, but rather to comprehend."

Fourth Horseman had a sick and twisted sense of humor. He loved to toy with people loved to keep them guessing. Whatever it was, it made them suffer, and he loved it.

"A simple place, a simple mist. I made a wish, and threw no fist. The people died, the children ran, but not as fast as Fourth Horseman can..."

Fourth Horseman had a curse on him, or to him, a blessing. In exchange for his life, was his speech... he would live forever, but cursed to speak in poetry.

And sometimes... it got in his nerves.

The cat lady flicked her ears in annoyance at the man speaking in only rhyme. She could make out the sentences perfectly. They were talking about something she was interested into. The strange looking skeleton man had mention this was his Pandora. Neko had no idea what he meant only that he must be wrong. This was the Kingdom of Kanto ruled by monsters and trainers. Not really wanting to engage in their talking but only wanting to listen she perched herself on the rooftops listening to them.

She could sense these were strong opponents. The man that looked like a skeleton that smelt of plants was a mystery that could be hard to unfold. He didn't seem to around here. He smelt really different. So different that she guess he was a new monster here in Kanto. While the other man she knew a little. Hearing stories now and then about his poetry tongue. But this was the first time Neko has ever saw him.

Kaseki's eye twitched as Fourth Horseman continued to talk. "You made a wish... killed everyone... well most of everyone... and you took this city? And with that wish, you ended up in my realm. A world not from before... This is ludicrous."

Kaseki threw his hands in the air as he walked away. He hated how these little cities popped up, taking the troubles with it. Pandora was a haven to those Kaseki deemed worthy. It was a place where the dead walked, the souls Kaseki took, rather than his father.

"And I know you're there. You can reveal yourself." Said Kaseki. He could feel something listening, and he wasn't afraid to destroy it in his anger.

"Let her be, it's what she wants. She has no time for your silly taunts." Fourth Horseman began to laugh as he turned his back on Kaseki. He started to vanish into the mist.

"And so it was, just you and her. So prepare yourself for a feline's purr. The girl has questions that you will answer. And so I leave, a simple necromancer."

The feline came out of hte shadows slowly first showing her deep red eyes and then her whole body. Her massive paws were to her sides as her ears twitched. They gazed deeply at Kaseki. A deep purr rumbled in her throat as she stepped near him. Her tail flickered form left to right. Neko really didn't care much that he could see her. Really she just wondered why he was here in this deserted place.

Titling her head to the side the long blonde braids came from the girls tan/yellow jacket that seemed to cover her body. She had a bust alright and thick tan legs. A smile was laced across her lips showing her sharp teeth as pure as day. She bowed to the man as a form of respect. Her animal instincts were kicking in telling her that he was dangerous.

Neko: Welcome nyan! To Kanto Kingdom Nyan~.

"Interesting thing. It seems that Kanto has changed dramatically since I've last visited."

Kaseki turned slightly, revealing only half of his face to the opposing hooded man. "If you do so much as attempt or even think about touching my realm without respect, I will dismember you and save you for display in my personal museum." Kaseki turned and made his way out in the direction he came. The white mist engulfed the son of Death. All that could be heard was a faint mumble.

"A little change, a little anger. A little fear and we grow stranger."

Fourth Horseman was glad to have the man out of his site and mind. Kaseki's voice always gave him a headache. He was happy to have eradicated most of Kanto, leaving an abundance of free creatures. "It has ears, it has teeth. It comes near, what does it seek?"

Fourth Horseman was growing curious of the thing that appeared. He had seen nothing like it before. Perhaps a new species?

Neko got closer to the man. Her massive paws swung to her sides back and forth. Getting a closer look she got on all fours and took a good smell of the man. Indeed this was a strong one. She thought in her head. Circling around him analyzing his every body structure and taking in the scent of death and some other mixture. It was a strange one indeed. The feline woman got to her two feet and smiled widely letting out a purr.

Neko: What I seek nyan?

The feline scratched her head and then looked for the best answer.

Neko: I seek food, sunlight, and a grassy meadow! Nyan~!

The feline let out a giggle as she backed up from the horseman. Her tail wiping back and forwth and her ears sticking straight up.

The skeleton observed the creature. She seemed mesmerizing, definitely something of rarity. Perhaps a creature he could collect. "A new one here, are you not? What level have you fought?" He smelled the grassy air around him. The mist surrounded the two. "There is sun, there is heat. But the floor, it shall never meet."

Horseman was conflicted as to what to do. Should he enslave the creature, or leave it be?

The massive paws pointed towards the dense fog in a direction she came from. Not far from where they stood was a grassy meadow located in the cemetery. The feline had found it through her sense of smell. The grass was calling to her to lay down in it.

Neko: There is some grass that way.. in the cemetery. Nyan.

The cat lady then gazed at him putting one of her massive paws to her head. Her tail flicking back and froth. The red cat like eyes staring at him. Her huge smile never fading from her lips.

Neko: I am not new. Nyan~ I am from Kanto.. A different place of course. Nyan~ But from Kanto.

Horseman smiled at the creature. Perhaps she would be a great ally. "A creature is what I see, dost it wish to join me? I am the master of Team Rocket, a place if you look you will not find it."

Horseman was beginning to limiting his own words. His poetic rhyme was beginning to set him off. All he wanted was to get someone to do his bidding for him. Someone much better than his little elf.

Neko: join? Mmmmmmm. I am a simple kitty. Nyan~

The girl now crouched down squatting. Her massive paws on the ground in front of her. Her tail went back and froth stirring the dirt up around them. Her red eyes trained on his being. Her ears laid flat on her head as she thought about this.

Neko: what is team rocket? Nyan~

Thats when her ears perked up with interest. Hrr glowing red eyes gleaned and her smile got bigger.

"It is a group, a society. It is a land full of creatures whom are lively."

Horseman truly had no idea what it stood for anymore. He simply adopted the name from the organization he killed. He could make the name mean anything. But it meant nothing at the moment... it was just him and an elf.

Neko smiled at him. Her red eyes sparkled at him. Getting closer to the man. Her ears were flatten. Creeping as she got closer and closer. Flattening her we almost to the ground. Neko was like an over sized cat that can talk. The cats tail whipped back and forth. As she was now inches away from him. Neko was on her all fours. Taking in his scent and his voice. Then bowing her head like she wanted him to pet her she spoke softly.

Neko: will it be fun?

"Entertainment is to your kind, look for it, and fun you'll find." Said the poet. He grabbed hold of his own hands and took steps backwards into the mist. The white fog engulfed his entire being as if he was just a mirage. And like that, he was gone.
