Some people are only alive...
Mira leaned against the gate, one hand over her stomach and holding her gun, the other dangling by her side. She gritted her teeth just barely, looking around. She often stared past the gate, almost hoping for a creature to come into sight so she could just fire one little threatening shot at them. She rolled her eyes and sighed. This was the most boring job in the world.
Her hopes were finally granted and she saw a winged boy beyond the gate, not taking any notice that it was there. Lazily, she fired a shot just past his head. He spun around, and she noticed the expression on his face barely cared that if he were an inch or two closer, he would have been killed. He looked toward her and smiled. She raised an eyebrow. "Creature," she said firmly. "you don't belong around here."
"Is it a crime to go for a stroll?" he asked, frowning a little.
"It is on my turf." she said, placing one hand on her hip. "Get out of here."
"Awh. I'd rather stick around a little longer, if you don't mind."
"I mind very much." she said, tapping her gun on her leg. "You have plenty of space out there to not be in my eyesight. Your presence irritates me. What in blazes are you?"
The boy bowed respectfully. "Just call me a fallen angel. My name is Ryu."
"Get out of here, Ryu."
Ryu merely smiled. "I'm not as much of a creature as you think I am."
"You're not human, either."
"Tell that to my..." he blinked and stared into space. She tapped her foot impatiently. Then he grinned jokingly. "Great-great-great-great--"
"Let's go with ancestors and save my time!!"
Ryu shook his head. "Rodo doesn't like you already. He was human through and through. Would you have called him a creature because he had wings and powers as well?"
"You're wasting my time!" she fired another shot at him, which he stealthily dodged. "I can see that." he said calmly. "Well, miss, if you wish..." he smiled and turned his back to her, flying off. Angrily, she fired several more shots at him, all of which missed him by a feather.
...Because it's illegal to kill them.
