Twin Jewel: The mission to save Earth

Chapter 1: The hunted

"Ahhh!"
The man sat up. Had he been dreaming? He had to have been, because he was awake, in bed, sweat trail die his body from the nightmare. But... was it a nightmare? It all felt so real. He thought he had actually died. He was shaking furiously. It didn't help that his door was swung open. "What happened!?" The girl yelled out. She was about 5'3, with crimson red eyes, snow white hair and a well built figure for a girl. She was wearing a dress as if she had already been up for a while. Thats when the man glanced at the clock to his bed. 1:57 PM. He had slept for over 12 hours. "Lerinth...?" The girls voice shook his thoughts. He looked back at her, his own crimson eyes staring into hers. It wasn't often he was scared, so the girl knew that whenever he was, something was wrong and she could see that he was scared. He looked panicked and he wouldn't stop shaking. And his voice.... "S-Shiro..." Without another moment to spare she walked closer to him, wrapping her arms around his body in an attempt to comfort the shaking male. He flinched a bit, but embraced her. He still wasn't used to this, her kindness towards him. He was a Kitsune after all. Everyone else hated him. The kind hearted girl was the only one who actually cared for him, or even gave him the little bit of love he desperately needed. Although he wasn't sure how he actually felt about her, he knew he he had strong feelings for her. He definitely didn't hate her, but he wasn't neutral either. Was it love? No, it couldn't be, Kitsunes weren't known for falling in love. That's how his race was basically eliminated. Love, and the hunters. Shiro clung to him tighter as if she knew exactly what he was thinking. He touch erased his thoughts again, and his tail wrapped around her, holding her close. "Thank you, Shiro... I'm ok now." His voice had returned to normal, which Shiro noted and slowly let him go. He stretched a bit before getting up. Shiro looked exhausted. She clearly needed rest, but she would always refuse to sleep when he brought it up. Today may be different, he knew that she would soon collapse due to exhaustion, just as he did. He would need to get them to a safe place before then, a place where the didn't need to run for a while. Somewhere she could rest. Shiro's voice once again shattered his throughs as she asked if they were ready to go. She had eaten, and being a Kitsune he didn't need to eat as much, which made the shortage of food easier. He gave a small nod to answer her question. "Yea... let's go..." He spoke before walking away. He wasn't entirely sure where to go, but it wouldn't be where they came from, or where they were now. Shiro followed him, speaking the same words she spoke to him when they had first met. "I will protect you." The words made him fall silent for a while, as if thinking over something. He gave of a small sigh of displeasure before continuing down the path, wherever it may lead them.
