He screamed his demand at her, she clutched the door knobs tighter ready to make her retreat when his foot came up. BAM it connected with her chest and she went flying back through her doors. She would land to the floor on her side as her facial expression fought the momentary pain she was feeling. She might be immortal but she was still a human that just took a hit from a vampire. Gritting her teeth her head snapped to look at Metal as she pushed herself up on the palms of her hands. If her eye's could only eject daggers there would be no telling how many would be sent out in this moment.
"Oh metal, metal, metal you twisted little ********] she growled in a deep purr. Getting to her feet she reached for her blade that sat upon the table behind her. She had a little trickle of blood on the corner of her mouth to which she felt and wiped off. She had to give him some silent credit. It had been a long while since this sort of heat had been injected into her veins. Unsheathing her blade she let all the hellish things she wanted to do to him flood her mind.
'You make liking vampires reeeeeeeeally hard Metal' she said moving now forwards towards him.

[Metal Trsu]

Watching her crash backwards through the door was hilarious for him, he just stepped back a couple of steps and gripped his stomach as he began to chuckle and laugh at her face when he kicked her and at the way she had gone through the door. His hair just covered his face as he continued to laugh stumbling around outside the cabin as he did so, though only taking a few minutes to get a good laugh he noticed she was coming to. An now she was standing back up; his eyes just closed as his hands brought his long wild hair back over his shoulders now, almost one of the first time he didn't have it draping across his face. "Haha...Ahaha..." He continued before regaining his composure. Metal's body just turned to the side a bit, his hands moved back and forth from his sides as if he were holding them up to fight. It wasn't until then did he noticing she was holding a rather large blade.

Metal just smirked at her now and then stopped bouncing around outside on the deck. Standing still for a brief moment his head tilted cracking and popping the bones in his neck while he watched her coming closer and closer now. If she thought she was going to get him back she was wrong. 'We're even." Was all he spoke and then took a step back, his hands came up again his right close to his face while his left a little further out. If she came at him with the knife he was going to put her in her place. Well at least what he thought her place was, and boy did he have places that he'd put her. "Come now, I'm practically unarmed."

"Oh ho...heh...no metal my dear...we are NOT even. You owe ME an apology for wasting my beer on your worthless a**, making me get up out of my chair, and getting too close for comfort." she told him.

She didn't waste anymore time. Onyx darted forwards with a run and once within range she swung her sword. clutched in her right hand she'd swing on a diagonal, upwards. This direction would land her in the proximity of his upper bicep or chest. However, this wasn't her intended strike. This movement wasn't complete. She had anticipated his step back or block. She'd take those few extra steps forwards to try and ensure the intended connection. She rounded her swing in a half circle bringing her arm and subsequently her blade across her body. The blade would skate across his abdomen area ending to the right of him as she'd go down on one knee.

[Metal Trsu]

Metal stood there maybe he'd try a different approach this time that just taking a step back or avoiding the confrontation, his eyes closed as she continued to get closer, as she was in mid swing he dropped his hands. His body lay still and he felt the blade run across his skin cutting pretty deep as a line of blood formed against his chest, she was now crouched before his figure, his chest red with blood starting to form red line while it began to run down his chest. All the way from his waist line up to his shoulder was the blood rushing from his skin.

Standing over her he thought about reaching out grabbing her by the hair and throwing her over board, but that would just lead to her getting more pissy with him; even so it was her decision to smash the bottle over his head in the first place; all she'd have to do was push him away or tell him to move. Maybe the latter wouldn't have been as effective but there was a small chance it could have worked. Metal now looked down at her and then tilted his head. "Done yet?" He asked her, he didn't make motion to his chest or move to cover it.

Yeah sure it hurt, yes it stung, the salty air blowing about the ship as they stayed docked. Metal's hand just came down opening up to her, yeah normally he'd be ready for a fight but like he said earlier she was different. He didn't want her to fight just because she wanted to fight; normally he was the one to pull such a thing, her, never. She always had a plan and had a reason 'GOOD' reason, a simple bottle wasn't good enough, and besides she was a s**t fighter when she was mad. "Your so cute when you're mad." He grinned and then glanced down at the scar of blood still pumping out. "Dammit...you know this stings." He mumbled under his breath.

Andrea did what she was told. She cut up the banana's in the way that she was told and put them in the bowl. She soared in the feeling of making something herself. She had always relied on others to make such good tasting food. She herself really didn't know how to cook anything. She made basic foods when she was able to buy food. She worked on stirring the dish as she was told and then added in the vanilla and stirred it more as she was told.
"Where did you learn to cook?" Andrea asked Kelly as she moved about the kitchen doing as she was told.

Shiara's eyes went a little wide as she watched him shape shift and she backed up to the edge of the tub trying to not get in the way, the shape still caught her. When Raziel adapted to leave more room for the poor girl she followed after his tail like a curious kitten. She ran her hands over the scales fingers stretched out wide as she kept petting the remarkably soft texture. She didn't say anything but there was a look of rap wonderment on her features. This was just so kool, there really was no end to the, for lack of a better word, stunts that the good Dr. Kane could pull. Without really thinking about it, just following the pattern along it's length, Shiara began to stroke the melding point where the flesh became scales.

Everyone knows that the latter approach would not have worked and everyone knows by now Onyx didn't take well to invasion well. And push a vampire off hm? Right. She's tried that before and it was trying to push a dump truck in mud. Onyx was strong no and fast no doubt but she wasn't a vampire. What made her able to go toe to toe with a vampire was her endurance and her healing capabilities and her gift of sight. So no, smashing him in the face with her beer bottle was the only option when dealing with him. What was the most infuriating was the fact that he stood there and took....both hits? One across his chest and one across his stomach...for he didn't seem to back away from her first strike. His cocky little done yet? and his offering to help her up confused the s**t right out of her. One should not pretend to know the lovely Captain. Onyx wanted to fight because he was accusing her of something that was NOT her fault. She wanted to fight because it was in her nature to do so. That was as good a reason as any. She did not take his hand but stood up fully just the same. your so cute when you're mad dem be fighting words where this strong and independent woman was concerned!!! dammit ... you know this stings. came his next. Onyx made the movement to stab him right through the gut. Perhaps he forgot that Onyx was an incredibly audacious and selectively irrational?
"Does it?" she growled. Never leave an open opportunity for Onyx to take.

[Metal Trsu]

Metal stepped to the side in one motion, though he didn't dodge fully, her blade came running into his stomach as the blade soon appeared in crimson along the other side of his body, he looked down and soon gripped the hilt where her hands were, pulling her closer to him. He stared down into her eye's as he brought her closer to him. Yes again, he was struck, her blade through his body, the left side anyways, while all the while he was pulling her closer by pulling the sword through his own body. "Hmmgrr..." He groan for a moment, yeah it hurt, a ******** sword was sticking out of him, though he told himself this would be the last time she struck him. He just stared grinning now as he looked at her. "So you want to play rough?" He asked, it was then he ran forward with her, pushing against her body hoping to push her all the way back towards, and into the cabin, through the broken doors and back against the wall. Within him trying to push her back his right hand came up, gripping for her throat to hold her up. His left hand was holding to both of hers not letting them go, just in case she thought about dropping her sword. If she wanted to piss Metal off, she was doing a good job at it; though he remember the last time she did so; she met 'Him' an on that day Metal began to hear the second voice within his head.

Kelly took a third of the cut banana slices and and lined the pie crust with them. "Okay spoon blobs of the mix onto the banana slices" she said and when she did Kelly would stop her and place another layer of banana slices down and then had her add more of the mix and so forth. She would then put the pie into the fridge and have Andrea mix the other ingredients for the whipped cream. Kelly smiled at Andrea watching her. "Me mum. She was such a wonderful woman. Be bonded over food. She told me that food could be a great love. It brings people happily together." she told her. "Its a generation thing. Our mothers before through the generations kept on the tradition of handing down a recipe book. You can imagine how huge it is by now. Each generation adds to it." she told her.

The feeling of her touching his symbiote like that was interesting. It felt very nice and he was thankful that she didn't scream and take off. He couldn't help himself though. She her hands were putting the portion of scale meets skin...he quickly transfigured back into his raziel self! She was petting skin upon his hips a little to close to things that...she really ought not to be around. Well...for him it was all good. It was a fight dirty move to do to her but...she was just SOOOOO easy to tease! He grinned looking at her watching her face change.

He grabbed her hands and pulled her further in ... her face flushed pink. She was so not expecting that from him. She was expecting him to give her one good shove and send her flying. His groan prickled her ears there was something alarmingly sexy about the way he did it. She could hear his blood peppering the deck at their feet. The kind of woman no one really knew resonated in this moment. She loved the sound of it, his blood. His body pushed and she tried at first to push back to resist but the more she fought the harder he'd push. Her little grunts of futile fight left her throat. She was pushed all the way back into her room through the broken doors until her back hit a wall. His cold hand slipped around her throat squeezing in a tension she had felt before from him. His other hand, significantly larger than her own was like an iron vice grip on both of her hands. Onyx was unable to release her blade. She wouldn't get the chance to respond to his question. She felt her feet lift up off the floor and now he was positively choking her. Onyx lifted her leg placing her foot to chest. She needed to somehow take the pressure off of her throat as she had been dangling there in her own body weight. As she made sputtering choking sounds she did her very best to push no doubt inflicting pain on the existing wound he sustained. It would force more blood to gush from his wound and hopefully get him to release her and subsequently her blade.

[Metal Trsu]

Metal's form went forward with the smaller of the two, his hand wrapped against her lithe throat; he could feel how warm she was as he rushed her through the already broken doors. This was exciting, not only did she stab him she'd sliced and busted a bottle over his head all in the same day, oh my this woman had almost hit jackpot on the piss off meter. His eyes flared now as the windows of her room would go frosted as they entered. It was then that a loud thud could he heard as he slammed her small frame against the hard wooden wall of her own room. Metal just growled, he could hear his body squish with the sword pressing deeper.

While he pinned her against the wall his hand began to squeeze against her already fragile throat; his claws somewhat piercing barely into her skin while doing so; teeth gritting with mild frustration. Now she was pinned against the wall, off her feet and hopefully soon she'd be out of it, then he could tie her up and settle things. But it wasn't to be, she reared back with what might have been her last bit of strength, long shot right? But nonetheless her feet pressed and began to dig in the already exposed wounds, they hadn't had time to heal as the more serious wound needed to be attended to first. With the aching and her pushing from the wall he couldn't take much more, she wasn't going to pass out before he'd have to let go, so if he was going to have to let go boy was he gonna.

With a quick Metal turned on a dime and released her hands first, and seconds after he put most of his strength into this he just hurled the woman across the room with all his momentum. Metal had just hurled the poor little woman across the room, now some might think that too extreme, but he was dealing with what he remembered being a vampire hunter. "Gahh..." He raised his hand up brushing and rubbing some of the red blood against his pale ivory complexion.

Sandel clutched his bag with a firm grip as he picked up from the security checkpoint upon arriving back at the airport near Lockeport. He walked out of the airport with a broad grin on his face due to his most recent success. Treasure had been discovered, he had gotten a claim in it, and no one had to die in order for any of it to happen. The tan skinned male walked with the rest of the crowd that was coming into the country, many of them running towards loved ones, or seeing signs that held their names on it. For him, he had no sign and one of his loved ones was contained in a gray metallic canteen that was attached to his side. "Heh, I got all that I need, for right now at least." He looked down fondly at his canteen while he waited for a family in front of him to move so he could exit the airport.

He didn't have to wait all that long due to the fact that taxis were always waiting by the exit, knowing that there some people who didn't have a free ride. Yet, even as he waited he reached into his pocket to pull out a crumbled pack of cigarettes. His pipe had snapped when he was in Cambodia, the result of dropping it while drunk and watching an elephant step on it. A taxi pulled up as Sandel let out his first dose of second hand smoke that day to have an amused grin form over his lips. "Hey!! Get in, we need to talk." Yelled the driver from his drivers seat. The treasure hunter got in back of the cab, the same one that had driven here for his flight to Cambodia.

"So I know you lied about Cambodia being an Asian woman, you a**." The taxi driver in a matter of fact tone of voice. "I looked it up and realized it was a country." This caused a smile to appear on Sandel's lips as he tapped some ash off his cigarette out the window. "Heh, well I didn't want to make you feel dumb, ya'know?" he retorted to which the driver snapped back "I was the laughing stock of the company, told people about Cambodia.....the woman." Sandel chuckled softly at the taxi driver, but the rest of the trip to Lockeport was in silence as the driver brewed about his mistakes.

"Aye dude, you can stop right here." The treasure hunter announced, seeing that he was close to the Port of Lockeport. He pulled out a wadded amount of cash and tossed to the taxi driver who took the money in silence. Grabbing his bag and flicking his cigarette butt off into the distance, Sandel headed into the Port with only destination in mind. The Asper to show off his most recent treasure find and gloat how much money he had made.

She felt the temperature drop, he was quite angry. To be using abilities and powers outside his everyday vampiric ones...was saying something. He lifted her a fraction of a second to force her back to smash against the wall. Her foot slipped. The scent of her unique blood pieced the air, such an augmented thing reeked pleasantly from even the smallest of wounds. She had about five of them and they weren't exactly kitten scratches. She was going to attempt to try and again to push off of him when his body turned. Her back got dragged across the wall taking down a picture frame on her way. He flung her letting go of her all in one smooth motion. Her body sailed but she hadn't let go of that sword. Metal would have to endure the pain of having that blade ripped out taking chunks with it on account of the way he carelessly threw her. Onyx knew this was going to hurt she made a last ditch attempt to break her fall. She jammed her sword into the table she flew over. This immediate stopper jerked her body pulling her shoulder out of socket and in lieu of that, forced to let go of her blade. She screamed in pain. The blade stuck there stead fast in the center of her heavy oak table swaying as her body continued onwards. Onyx hit the ground rolling horizontally until she came to smash into the bottom half of a long counter, plates had fallen off breaking into chunks and shards around her. Onyx moaned in serious pain on the floor dazed. She got a nice gash on her forehead just about her brow as well as on the side of her jaw. Her pleather tights showed patches of her skin, the color of over creamed coffee, with ugly red. Blood seeped from gashes from all over it seemed. Her kessenchu was trying to mend the shoulder which it couldn't because it needed to be pushed back into place. They were also making the attempt in healing the various cuts about her body.

Oh... what a lovely belly button... Gulp. Shiara hadn't noticed the ever diminishing distance between their two forms while her attention had been focused on his scaly white lower region. When he promptly shifted back to full humanoid male she became very very aware, very very quickly that there was zero space left between her hands and his skin. But it wasn't his harmless little 'ol bicep muscle now that was pressed under her palms like in training, it was the curvaceous finale on a perfectly formed six pack.

A flood of sensations, that is what Raziel so very often triggered in the hormone ridden, energy mimicking, ever growing young woman. Currently she felt her lower core trembling in a not at all unpleasant fluttery sort of feeling. And the color of blood pooling beneath the surface of her cheek bones was never far behind when he taunted her. With every encounter Shiara felt her actions become more uncertain, as they migrated towards an inevitable end that her mind hadn't matured into the decision of making yet. Where Raziel was concerned though the most predictable event to expect, was that she would periodically take possession of one of his aspects. It seemed of late that wither subconsciously done, or still truly random, she was quite drawn to his fire.

Shiara lifted her hands from his stomach and turned them back and forth in front of her eyes, watching the way the green flames danced over her skin. Unlike the first time though that she had copied this burning, it didn't spread like a wild thing and engulf her coverings in cinders and ashes. Tentatively Shiara brought her burning hands back down, placing them on his bare chest. Looking up into his glowing blue eyes she said, rather solemnly, "The heat is behaving itself this time. Does that mean my control is getting better?"
