Shu flopped down on the couch, spreading his arm along the back of the comfortable chouch in a relaxed manner.
"Hiro, your ignoring my question."
Shu coaxed, eyeing his son as he asked for a drink. He knew when people were trying to change subject or get away from answering a question.
Leaning forward slightly he picked up his glass to take a drink, slinging his free hand back along the couch top once he sat back.

Hiro diliberately stopped the woman who braught him a drink to flirt with her for a moment. Of corse she was compelled to stay there for a moment, if just for the chance to flaunt her figure at his father sitting close by. Hiro took a long drink of the liqure as the woman settled under his arm, he could no longer use her as an excuse to hold of Shu's questions.
" I stopped her to see where she was headed, turns out she says you summoned her and all the leaders. What are you planning?"
He said, intentionaly laying his suspicions out on the table.

Shu watched Hiro flirt with the woman as he tried to get around his question. Waiting pationtly for him to answer Shu took a drink from his glass before resting it on his knee.
When he spoke Shu raised his head up slightly before smiling and bowing his head to hide laughter.
"Planning? Why would I plan something?"
He said, letting Hiro hang for a while like he had done to Shu. Pulling his arm off the couch he placed his drink down on the table.
A sudden knock from the door that sounded more like a pounding then knocking. Not waiting to be let in, the large figure of Uro's lycan form opened the door and took a step in, ducking somewhat to get in.
Seeing Hiro she pointed at him in an angered manner and would have cursed him had Shu not been sitting there. Lowering her hand away she changed the vocal cords in her throat to speak to everyone in a relativly human voice.
"That son of yours left me mountless on the road Shu."
She said in a gutteral growling voice.

The phantom walked along the filthy roads of the mire that was Gutre, a passive look on his face. He had assumed being a ghost would be more...entertaining than he was finding it. The only kicks he got out of this afterlife was if anyone needed him for information, or if he stumbled upon some interesting situations...which he was about to find himself in. He kept on walking, his bladed boots making only a wispy scraping sound on the disgusting pavement, a sound muffled by layers upon layers of sludge covering the ground. He heard voices all around him, most of them unpleasant. One thing about being a ghost, the physical means of the material plane had no effect on him; sounds were not blocked by stone, which is the main way he picked up on all of the information he had come to know. Eremes spied two figures entering a building, shadowed from the distance between him and them. He didn't need features to figure out who he was looking at, seeing their silhouettes through the smog was enough. Surprise, surprise...today may turn out to be interesting after all... Just a moment later, he heard the neigh of a Nightmare, and found that one was tied outside the building. A split second later came the neigh of a second Nightmare. Not wanting to be seen...yet...Eremes quickly phased through the side of a building and out of sight. He heard the ill-tempered beast land and a conversation broke out between that man and a new person. Listening for their footsteps, he heard them go inside and shut the door; the coast was clear. Eremes walked out of the building and looked at the one that the two he had seen had entered. He could sense an illusion on the outside but, being a phantom as he was, he could see right through the facade. Eremes jumped back through the wall once more, feeling something else approach, and heard heavy footsteps approach the building and enter it. My, my...today IS turning out to be rather interesting... After this new figure passed, he left his hiding place once more. He walked toward the building, thinking of entering through an upper wall to avoid detection. However, he had overlooked the fact that there weren't only Nightmares there. Nightmares, being demonic creatures themselves, could easily tolerate the presence of a supernatural entity and give it little thought...but what Eremes didn't notice was that a Tial was tethered with the Nightmares, as well. The Tial caught a glance of Eremes and let out a defensive screech, somewhat sounding like an eagle, as it tugged at its reins, hoping to break itself free. That's not good... Eremes melted through the sludge and pavement, landing in the repulsive sewers of Gutre below, hoping to avoid detection.

Disaba stood beside Shu, listening, surprised he had a child. She had already figured it wasn't his true child but none the less a child. She was very intrigued and anxious to get everything started.
Dagger was holding Jem's hand, her other hand holding her little wooden horse that she had rode there.
((Sorry for the short post.))

Hiro grinned happily knowing Uro would complain, so much for her being a reveared leader if she had to complain about a lost mount that she had probably stolen in the first place. He took another long drink of his liqure, knowing his father would have something to say to it, he prefered at least his own reaction be delayed.
Thats when the Tial tied outside let out a screech, Hiro personaly thaught little of it. After all there where a ton of things in this city that could spook just about anyone. He ignored it and concentrated on the problem before him. He had to stifle a laugh as Uro pointed at him in a menicing. Followed shortly by the only way she could think of getting him into the littlest bit of trouble. He continued to drink, and the woman under his arm egged him on as if he was in a chugging contest. all the better reson for him not to respond.

Shu was about to answer the werwolf when the Tials let out a screech, which he personally could have cared less for, but Cain knew better. Jumping up he headed outside to see what was wrong, pulling his sword as he left the home.
Back inside, Shu stood up to address Uro.
"Lady Uro, glad you could make it. Please, if you need a room there is one upstairs."
He said, holding his hand up to show her the stairs. Growling she shot a glance toward Hiro before walking away from the scene and up the stairs. Heavy foot steps rung through the home as she went up the stairs, but after that she was quite.
Looking back at Hiro he wagged a finger at him.
"You should know better Hiro... Killing the mount would have been better."
He replied before sitting back down on the couch to wait and see what had gotten Cain to get up and leave in such a hurry.
**
Outside, Cain walked over to his Tials and grabbed the reins as it pulled against the teathers. Pulling the creature back down with an amazing show of strenght Cain put a hand on the beasts head and looked into its eyes to calm it down.
"Tell me what you saw."
He said to the Tials. Being a beastmaster had its advantages. The beast told him of the ghost who sunk himself through the ground out by the road, which was all he needed to hear.
Turning around he looked over the street for any sign of this ghost.

Eremes was semi-glad that the section of the sewers he was in didn't have a man-hole nearby, or else the man with the Tial would most likely have come looking for him. Judging the distance between himself and the foundation on the house from what he had saw, Eremes disappeared into the dank sewer wall, gliding through the thick earth beyond the moldy concrete and upward and found himself in a dark room, one that he would guess was unused. Phasing right through the door, he chose to explore the place that the feared Shu decided to call home, while keeping his ears trained on the voices speaking in the same building. Nice place... Eremes thought to himself.

Hiro fixed Shu with a look as if he had seriously been hirt, in a sarcastic way of corse, he put his hand over his heart and with the most laughter and sarcas he could put in his voice he said:
"Why Shu! I am crushed that you think so lowly of me! Uro said nothing of me not killing her mount."
Giveing Shu a look of total inocence as he said this put the icing on the cake, and no sooner did he finesh his statement then did he laugh and demand another drink. The woman who was under his arm, now ignored gladly took this opertunity to get him another glass, at least then she would have something to do.
"But that is off the topic.... Why wouldn't you plan something is the real question here"
He said, returning to the real subject at hand and throwing Shu's own question back at him wile he was at it.

Shu laughed at the way Hiro was acting. It probably would have been more amusing if he hadnt known Hiros true nature.
"Please Hiro, how can think so low of my skill. Neither of you have blood on your scent."
He said, casting aside the statement his son made with such an easy comment. Putting his feet up on the table infront of him, Shu relaxed comfortably on the couch, glancing over to Disaba before calling another woman over to him to sit under his arm.
Hearing what Hiro said he looked up and gave a shrug of his shoulders.
"Cause I am bored? Besides, I think these Heroes have had their peace long enough."
He said, the first part spoke in a completely uncaring tone. But the second part was said with all forms of displeasure.
Cain walked back into the house and closed the door behind him, Sword still in hand.
"Shu, we have an unexpect guest."
He said, looking around for the ghost that his mount had seen.

Disaba rolled her eyes when Shu called the other girl over. She wasn't mad but she decided she didn't want to be in this room anymore. The company wasn't the best and hearing of guests just made her ill. She walked outside and sat down in the street. It was dirty but at this point she didn't care. She had no idea what she was doing, offering her body to the villians. She buried her face in her arms, sighing deeply.
Dagger sat himself in the middle of the room and Jem sat down next to him, slowly falling asleep. It had been a long day for her and her toy horse nuzzled against her arm.

As Eremes walked through the mansion-like abode, he had to admit that he was not that impressed. For someone as notorious, and evil, as Shu, he expected something much more...overwhelming; though the number of maids and servant women never ceased to amaze him. Well...what can you expect from an incubus but a bevy of beautiful women at his beckon call... He thought as he checked out more of Shu's little "home". Eremes already knew that his presence had been given away, no thanks to the Tial. So taking his time in his meanderings was only delaying the inevitable meeting with Shu and his underlings, whoever so they may be. However, he decided to move things along in his own little way—you know, have a little fun. What's a bored phantom have else to do? As he walked, he materialized his phantasmal katar in one hand and ran the very tip along the wall, the ghostly blade making a light scraping noise without leaving a scratch. Eremes spooked a few of the maids wandering around tending to their jobs, though this was actually unintentional. Not really caring for stealth, Eremes made every noise short of tipping over the stove. If that doesn't garner further attention, then nothing will... Eremes thought as he sat cross-legged atop the second story banister, looking below. He recognized Shu and Cain, but the other three he didn't quite know, which was a first for him. Enough beating around the bush... He thought. "What an interesting little place the feared Shu calls home. I expected something a little more...intimidating. However, keeping your location unknown to the public with an elaborate illusion, and in Gutre of all places, is a marvelously smart idea. I tip my hat to you...or at least I would if I had one."

Shu rolled his eyes slightly as Disaba left, not quite understanding what was wrong with her, and at the moment, not much caring. Ordering himself another drink he grabbed the glass and took a look drink from it, setting down the half empty glass on the table next to his other one.
Cain on the other hand was still standing, hand rested over the hilt of his sword as he looked around the room for any sign of the ghosty that had come in eariler. He probably cared more than anyone else at the moment.
**
Up stairs Uro hand finally finished getting dressed, pleased that she had been able to find some pants and a shirt that werent revealing to anyone. She should have known better than to expect to find something less sexually attractive in a Incubui's home.
Hearing the sound of something scrapping along the walls she stuck her head out the door but saw nothing. Well, except for two running maids come flying down the hall. Shrugging it off she exited the room and walked back down stairs, finding a seat near Shu to wait for the others to arrive.
**
Hearing the voice of Eremes, both Cain and Uro looked around suddenly, Shu seemed to be unimpressed, or unintrested. Looking up to find Eremes he smiled at him in a somewhat evil manner.
"There you are then. I would expect a ghost like you to know this isnt my real home. Just a sort of get away."
Shu responded, waving of fthe comment the ghost made while grabbing for his drink again.
"What do you want Phantom?"
Cain said, turning to face him fully.

Hiro greeted the new hiro with all the enthusiasum of a scarecrow. Looking up at him as he took another swig of his liqure he set the mug down and puzzled over him, more like a curious child than anything else. He kicked back in his chair and continued to study him.
"Shu, when did you start keeping ghosts in the house?"
Hiro asked, more or less ignorant to the fact that the ghost wasn't supposed to be there. But then again, he had been gone for a wile, who knows what could have changed! Thats when Cain spoke up, something about 'what did he want', obviously a tip that the ghost didn't live there. Ah well, Hiro looked up, interested in the answer to Cain's question anyway.

Eremes closed his eyes, grinning at Cain's question. "I'm bored, that's all. There's not a lot one can do in the afterlife." He stood and jumped down from the railing, landing below where he had been perched, his landing as real as any living being's. "Unless, of course, one of you has any idea how one like myself can find some amusement in what's shaping up to be a bleak eternity." He hadn't openly mentioned just how useful he could be in numerous situations; he left that up to their knowledge of him from old war stories...if he was even mentioned in any of them.
