Oki turned back to Mine and nodded lightly.
Mine nodded and, moving quickly, circled around behind Oki and used her injured paw to draw her claws down the length of Oki's shoulder blade. Oki cried out and fell forward on to her hands as bright red blood welled up in the cuts and began to stain her shirt.
"Itsuka Oki, by your blood we are now bound," Mine intoned. "You will bare my mark and in exchange I offer my services whenever they are needed."
As Mine spoke, the bleeding lessened and came to a stop. The cuts, too, healed and faded leaving a pattern of spots visible through the shredded portions of her shirt.

Despite Oki's pain, Fukurou was smiling. He was impressed with what he had just witnessed and wondered if one day he too would enter such a sacred agreement with a creature of these words. He doubted it, but it was nice to think. He remained mostly still and silent, leaving Oki to her own issues...

Kurado twisted to the side as Oki yelled, he drew his hand back as if to grab something from thin air. He stoped long enough to notice it wasn't a real attack but just how the contract was done. He still wasn't happen with the suddenness of it all but lowered his arm once more as he watched wondering if it was truly over now.

Mine looked up to both Fukurou and Kurado and nodded once before she gnetly butted her head against Oki's with a feline smile. "Take care, child," she purred before disappearing.
Oki pushed herself back up on to her knees and ran a hand down her shoulder.
"Whoa," she whispered softly.

Fukurou looked over his shoulder at Kurado when the specticle was over. "You certainly are an edgy person, aren't you?" he asked, very much hoping the question wouldn't be construed as rudeness or naivity...

He glanced Fukurou as he straighten his coat. "Just because you help someone out of a trap doesn't mean its not a trap in itself. In a world were secrets, lies and possible death around every corner if your not careful. Traveling for so long out in that real world where many people live on the idea of better to back stab a helpful person and take their things... ya I guess I am a bit eddgy huh?" He steped forward to see how Oki was doing after the forming of a contract.

Oki looked up at Kurado and beamed.
"Okay, that? That was the coolest think ever! Did you see that? And look at this!" she slid her shirt down her arm to reveal the pattern of rosettes. "How awesome is this? It didn't even leave a scar!"

Fukurou looked oddly at the man who could almost be his twin and shrugged with his eyebrows. If that was his view of the world, perhaps his edginess was justified. Fukurou as of yet, had not seen that side of the world however - he had done a very good job at avoiding most of the world thus far in fact.
After Kurado moved, he too joined Oki in the field. Glad to see her elation...

Kurado shooked his head and tilted it to one side. "I can certainly take that as a yes. It is like you made a new friend today. Well I am glad your in one piece as I thought something might have happen with that contract signing part." He nodded as he dusted his coat selvees.

Oki shrugged. "Well, it ruined this shirt," she said soberly. "But it was totally worth it!"
She looked up at Fukurou and handed him the paper bag. "Thanks, Fukurou."

Fukurou gave a slight bow in acceptance of the appology and put the small bag of owl treats back inside his coat pocket. He extended his hand to help Oki back to her feet...

"Does this mean we should go get some cat nip, scratching post and a kitty hotel for your summons?" Kurado joked as the tense feeling in the air slowly drifted away as if it was never there in the firs place.

Oki took Fukurou's hand to help pull herself up and laughed at Kurado.
"I don't know if they make kitty condos big enough for leopards. And would catnip even effect them?"

"It would stand to reason that it would..." Fukurou said thinking there was little difference between a cat - a cat is a cat is a cat after all was said and done. But he didn't figure the leopord would be staying quite as close to Oki as Kitsi and Ruu did to him, there was a difference...

"You just may need to get alot of cat nip to affect it. Considering its body mass or maybe it is just a cheap drunk per-say." He added another joke and streched his arms. He was slowly perparing himself for another run since they got interupted.
