Seeing as he was getting nowhere with her, he decided just to ask the main question again
"Why are you upset"
"..."
This time she didn't deflect, slam him into anything, or make a joke of it; she just went quiet.
Her face had an expression of exhaustion on it; she was tired of running from him and threatening him because it was obvious he wasn't going to leave her alone.
She leaned her back against the wall before sitting on the white marbled floor. Taking a deep breath, she sighed before looking at him again.
"I am hungry, so fucking hungry." As she said this, her face went from exhausted to desperate. She wasn't lying when she said she was hungry; if anything, she was underplaying it.
But he didn't seem to get that as he looked at her for a moment, confused, before replying, "Then eat"
To him, it was as simple as that, but to her it wasn't; the gap between what he thought he understood and what she was experiencing was like the difference between a pool and a river
Hearing what he said, she failed to hold her anger as well as she had been for the past couple of days
her fist into the wall beside her, creating a small crater of stone, tile, and jagged rock, but she quickly calmed down as she felt the wall stitch itself back together
The stone rose from the floor, embedding itself back into the wall; the jagged pieces quickly settled back into place, and the tiles looked to have never moved.
Taking her hand off the now fixed wall, she rested her head back instead as she closed her eyes, sighed, and spoke again
Her voice filled with frustration and exhaustion. "You know you're really starting to piss me off"
He didn't say anything in response to her, and his face to her looked like he didn't care
And maybe she was right, but she ignored it and continued to speak, as maybe after that he would leave her alone
"It's not that simple"
This time he did answer, even though it was in the form of a question: "And why not"
She examined him for a second, her bright yellow eyes scanning him from head to toe before she asked
"Do you know what I am"
To this question, he actually stopped and thought for a minute looking at the two pointed black animal ears on her head and the long black hair that looked to be a mix between an African dog and a fluffy cat's tail
Before he replied confidently"Yeah aren't you a Beastkin, which are under the sovereign authority of the yokai"
Hearing his answer she laughed a little, the sound came out soft and unexpected but sweet like tasting your favorite dessert at work even though you were sure the day was going to be horrible.
It only lasted a few seconds but she relaxed a bit before she answered him "I don't really blame you for thinking that as that's what most people would assume but you're still wrong"
Seeing her joy touched face he wasted no time asking "So what are you then?"
This time she didn't answer only smiling as she turned her back to him
Right as he was about to ask what she was doing he got his answer from her actions, as soon as she turned around she began to unbutton her shirt
He could hear each and every button she undid just as well as he could see the shirt loosening around her body no longer hugging her tightly showing the world an outline of every carve her upper body possessed.
Now it just rested on her body freely with no resistance but she didn't stop there as when she ran out of buttons to free she started sliding the shirt down exposing her beautiful sun-kissed skin.
As the shirt dropped lower and lower his eyes took in everything she was showing him with no shame, no reason to look away
Her back although unmistakably feminine was packed full with muscles, even though he could tell they weren't as pronounced as they would be for men they were still packed with way more power than any ordinary man could muster
The next thing he saw as the shirt continued to descend was the strap of her black lace bra, it was no longer just an outline pressed against her shirt as she moved
He could see that even though it was on the loosest hook it was still struggling to hold her breast up, it was like she had intentionally gotten a size too small but he didn't comment on that as the next thing his eyes focused on stole his attention entirely
Her spine
Yes, he saw her spine poking out from her back, it was exposed from her cervical vertebrae right below her neck all the way to her lumbar vertebrae right at the dip of her waist above her ass.
And it didn't look like a regular spine either, not that he had ever seen one up close before but hers didn't look like any pictures he had seen
Along her spine, there were extremely thin bone spikes that lay down onto the bones right below them
This didn't look like a wound or anything harmful to her body, no it looked like this was exactly how it was supposed to look for her at least.
Around her spine, the skin rested completely fine hugging the white bones from both sides keeping most of it inside her body only allowing the Posterior side to show.
But to him what was even more strange was that even tho her bra strap was closed over her protruding spine it didn't seem to bother her in the slightest
It was… interesting
After giving him a look she pulled her shirt back up and buttoned it back up before turning back towards him
Sighing as she turned she said
"Most people wouldn't have any idea what I am anyway, so I don't really blame you for thinking I was a beastkin, or under the yokai but you were still wrong"
He raised an eyebrow as he asked again "So what are you"
She smiled once more as she finally answered "I'm a Chupacabra"
The name sounded familiar but he still asked "And what does that mean"
She thought for a moment before answering again "It means I come from where the old worlders would have called mexico, your kind used to call my kind a folktale but mostly it means" She stopped for a second before closing the space between them in the hallway
He didn't move as she stood right in front of him staring down at him her yellow eyes burning with want
"I really want blood"
