Suki sat cross-legged, staring at her treasured Air Fangs, which were gleaming in the moonlight and looking brand new. She traced the fiery gem in the pommel idly with one clawed finger.
So... I got them back after all... She reflected musingly. Although it came with a hefty price...
Her free hand drifted to her jaw, and her violet eyes narrowed. She bared her teeth and ran one finger lightly over them, wincing.
Her once-gleaming white fangs were now cracked and bleeding slightly.
That stupid, idiotic jerk, she thought bitterly to herself. Her fangs would be completely healed by tomorrow- An advantage of being a half-demon was the speedy rate of healing. But her wounded pride would take quite a while longer to mend...
Suki's mind drifted back to the events of the day. Ebony, an... aquaintence of hers, had given her a message from Sacrd Lord Dark NeverWinter, the creep who had tortured and humiliated her in front of his clan. He told her that Dark 'challenged' her, and wanted her to come to his clan's base.
Suki didn't know why she'd went along with it- Probably in the hopes that she would get to recover her Air Fangs if the demon was there- But she went.
When she got there, Dark was nowhere in sight, but some of the NeverWinter clan was there... Along with Ebony. Another member of the clan wished to fight Suki in Dark's place. Ebony just stood there making annoying comments.
Unfortunately, Suki had to leave before she could start fighting, and when she came back, Ebony was gone, and Dark was there. He'd invited her to come play pinball with them. Pinball! She flatly refused, muttering something about "I only came here to get my Air Fangs..." And he'd shrugged...
And suddenly the very same Air Fangs appeared in his hands.
Suki's eyes had widened, and she'd immediately snatched her blades back. Her Air Fangs were her own once more! And then, of course, her honor had not let her just leave. Feeling that she owed Dark for returning her blades, she'd grudgingly agreed to play pinball with them...
The pinball games lasted for some time, all of them ending with Suki winning no more than 70 gold and everyone else getting incredibly high scores. Suki had studiously ignored this little fact, and was concentrating intensely on her pinball games.
When everyone left, Dark told her to go back to the base. Because she had nothing better to do, she complied.
Back at the base, Dark taunted her some more. Then she realized something. Something that brightened her mood considerably... She no longer had any reason to come back here ever again. At that point he changed into a huge wolf and wrapped an extremely long tail around her. She had, automatically, bitten it... Big mistake- Her razor-sharp, formidably hard white fangs broke on contact with the diamond-hard fur. Dark chuckled while she howled in agony. "You're right," He'd agreed, obviously amused. "You don't have any reason to come back here. So go."
She hadn't needed any more encouragement- She'd left, cursing him to hell as she did.

Now Suki sighed heavily, fingering her jaw gingerly, the moolight making her jet-black hair shine silver. Great- Now her wings AND her teeth hurt insufferably. And her wings were healing extremely slowly... Oh, well. At least I have my Air Fangs back, she thought contentedly, sheathing the pale blue blades. Maybe now I can get some peace and quiet, and, if I'm lucky, never see that jerk or anyone in his clan ever again.
Hah... Lucky... She gazed reflectively up at the pale white moon, violet eyes gleaming in the silver light.
I have never been lucky in my life before. If that bad luck holds, I will most likely see him again very soon...
Ugh... Just wonderful...
