And you thought Death City was dry and dusty.
This place is far hotter and far sandier. There are dunes for miles with only a few patches of hardy grass hiding in the shade of stray rocks.
There might be an oasis on the horizon, but it's probably just another mirage.
This is an enormous area, you probably won't run into anyone else out here.

Luna Luminesca  The Ice Witch - The White Wolf of the North
Luna sat down on her flying guitar, trying to relax as they began to head back towards Anemone's lair. The closer they got, the more Luna began to dread heading there. Maybe if she was in the snow-covered lands of the north, Anemone wouldn't be able to find her. That was her element, after all.
Then, as Luna sniffed the dry, desert air, she got a wiff of something. Something that was behind them, trying to keep pace while staying far enough away to remain inconspicuous.
"Rozen, do you sense that? I think we're being followed..."
Luna didn't know what they should do. They couldn't very well lead whoever was behind them to the sanctuary, andAnemone would have their heads if they brought intruders to his lair. Maybe if they could lose him or something...
"Rozen, what do you think we should do? Maybe we can lose him..."

 WITCH ROZEN
"Y-Yeah..." Rozen replied shakily as she leaped across the flat, dusty wasteland. The wind blowing through her antennae increased the potency of whatever was following them.
Whoever, that is. This was definitely human.
"I-I dunno... I mean... we can't let this guy follow us all the way back to the sanctuary... Master will kill us... Argh, I really don't want anyone to get hurt either..."
Rozen's worried gaze iced over as her sentence was left hanging she didn't need to finish it. It was obvious the rest was "but I will if I have to," which they may at this rate.
"M-Maybe we should slow down and try to make contact... maybe we can dissuade them from following us... or... or maybe they'll get scared back... maybe..?"
That was a terrible idea. True, Rozen had first been sent on that mission as cannon fodder in case the mission was jeopardized, but that didn't mean Anemone still wouldn't punish them afterwards if they'd been seen. In fact, if they'd been discovered, escaped and Rozen hadn't been injured, Anemone might have punished her twice as hard.
Rozen groaned in irritation.

 ~Sousuke Sakai~Sousuke crawled behind one and watched them go further. "wait....I'm following witches...they know I am here..." He sighed. "Damn...unless they don't really care and I am being lead into a trap..." he pushed up his glasses. "Maybe I should snipe them or shoot at them to make them move faster." his glasses gleamed.

WITCH ROZEN
For the first time in several decades, Rozen decided to take action. She was a witch, for Kishin's sake! She may not enjoy it, but it wasn't like she had anything else going for her.
'I've got one thing, one thing in this life! I may as well do it well...'
She wheeled around in the sand, skidding several yards and spinning, having caught herself with one long leg in the sand. She stood up, though still crouched in a tense-pre-attack stance.
"What do you want!?" she called out sharply (and a little shakier than she would have liked) to the dunes. She couldn't see anyone, but she knew there was at least one human out there.

~Sousuke Sakai~Sousuke sighed in relief and smiled. "finally I can confront one of them...Guerilla warfare really isn't my style" He used his cane to help himself up and he brushed himself off. "What were you doing in Death City Witch?" He looked at the other one and her guitar.

WITCH ROZEN
"Tourism. Wanna'd to see the sights." Rozen bit out. She hated being addressed as 'witch' when it wasn't the formal, title. 'You don't see me calling you 'human', human!' she thought bitterly.
She straightened up to her full height. She was a foot and a half taller than this kid and she didn't have much else to try and intimidate him with. For one person to follow two witches out into the middle of the desert was a death-wish unless they were seriously strong. To be honest, it freaked Rozen out.
"I asked you first! Why are you following us!?"

~Sousuke Sakai~Sousuke smiled and scratched his head in confusion. "Oh....wait...formalities right right..." he started mumbling to himself but then he snapped out of it. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to tick you off I just don't know your name....or anyone's for that matter" He Quickly bowed. "I am Sousuke Sakai..and you are?"

WITCH ROZEN
'IS HE STUPID!?'
Rozen gaped incredulously for a minute. That--That is NOT how civilians of Death City talk to witches. Like, at all.
She was tempted to start hitting him, if for no other reason than to get him to realize the severity of his situation. Which was bad! Right? Right. Rozen was a big, bad, witch. Damn straight.
"R-R-Rozen."
'I-I-It was okay to give him my real name, right!? I-I-It's not like anyone knows who I--but if... And then there's--ARGH I HOPE ANEMONE DOESN'T FIND OUT!!'
Yup. Rozen: Badass witch, extraordinare. Right there.

WITCH ROZEN
Rozen tossed Luna a look of both "What's up with this guy?" and "HALP PLZ" at the kid's question. She then pointed to herself with two arms and put the other two on her hips.
"...Do you really think Soul Protect would have done anything for me..?" she stated in a struggling deadpan. She also subconsciously tried to emphasis her height for good measure.
If this guy wasn't going to answer her one question, she was going to be as vague as witchingly possible. Ha. Stick it to the Shinigami, Rozen.
"Are you going to tell us what business you have following us or are you going to make us do something drastic?!"

WITCH ROZEN
"No. This is ridiculous," Rozen stated. She was losing patience as fast as she was gaining confidence. She was mad enough at herself for foolishly handing her name out (not that it really mattered with a lackey such as herself) but she wasn't about to do anything that would turn out badly for Luna.
"Tell us what you want with us and maybe we won't kill you. Is it my master you're interested in or are you just a 'witch enthusiast'?"

~Sousuke Sakai~Sousuke looked in shock. "You have a master? I thought witches worked on their own or with partners..." he shrugged. "well actually this is getting us no where so I guess you can call me the witch enthusiast...and for what I want I am just bored at death city as it seems no one wants a gun for a weapon..." he sighed.

WITCH ROZEN
Rozen sneered in true witch fashion. It didn't matter if he knew about Anemone. Anemone could handle anything. He was--
Crap, she really was developing Stockholm Syndrome, wasn't she?
"I... See..." Really she didn't. Guns were cool. You didn't have to be close to any of your victims. Besides, what kind of demon weapon wasn't all gung-ho for the Shinigami's cause? Well, it had happened before, she supposed.
But that wasn't the issue.
"So how exactly are you interested in us... what do you us to do about your 'boredom'..?" Rozen questioned slowly. She knew demon weapons ate witches souls as a right of passage. That concept was both creepy and gross in Rozen's opinion.
