Perplexed by the amount of consideration Yuuki had attributed to the task before them, Iana found that she could only listen in awe. Now she truly realized how experienced and skilled the witch before her really was. The information mulled over in her mind. This time she wanted to be able to add some sort of suggestion whether helpful or not. Iana thought until she finally inquired, “Well, Lionheart Inc. has scientists of its own, right? Maybe one of them knows someone in that field: a colleague, an old college friend..” Iana’s words trailed off. It was only a small suggestion, but at least it was something. “Questioning could be done verbally to find some sort of beginning to this whole thing.” Having given the only idea she had at the moment, she sighed and slunk back further into the couch.

Yuuki nodded thoughtfully to Iana's suggestion. She had actually spent quite a lot of time wondering how she would find a signature, but she had failed to see what was right in front of her. Funny how one sometimes can't find your sunglasses on your head. Yuuki gave a small smile to Iana.
"Ah! Exactly!! I failed to see that myself. We could hold a little gathering later... both of us could work around the room, talking to the many scientists we have on staff - brilliant! That would save us a lot of trouble actually, so I don't have to find someone who can hack!" Looking over to Iana, who was silent and sitting deep in the couch, Yuuki stood up and sat down beside her, wrapping her arm around her.
"Iana, if your having any trouble with anything, please don't hestitate to tell me. I know I haven't known you for that long, but I already feel that we're good friends, and partners for the next little while right? Iana, you're quite a smart and strong witch in your own right, so I wouldn't let anything make you feel bad ok? I don't want to force you to do anything after all, but I'm here ok? To help you with magic, or whatever you feel like!" Yuuki smiled and patted Iana on the shoulder.
"Anyway" Yuuki said, standing up and heading over to the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink? Tea, hot chocolate or hot milk? it's getting late after all."

A wry smile graced Iana’s lips when Yuuki accepted her suggestion as a plausible means of gaining the needed information. She supposed that the older witch was merely being kind. Before she could provide a simple “oh,” she found herself tense as Yukki sat next to her. Once Yukki’s words of encouragement and the future, Iana eased a bit, and offered a warm smile. She heard the sincerity in the other witch’s tone and was able to take it all at face value.
“Thank you,” was her reply before Yukki got up and inquired about hot beverages. “Umm. Tea please. Green if you have it, otherwise, surprise me,” Iana answered as she rose from the couch peering in the direction Yuuki headed in. Silently she wondered what the others were doing. Surely Destiny was busy. She was the president of a large incorporation after all. Iana also wondered what Rex was up to along with the elder warlock from before.

Yuuki was in the kitchen when she heard Iana's response.
"Sorry, I ran out of my good green Tea this morning, but I'll give you something else, a great tea before bed!" Yuuki reached into her cupboard and took out a small container filled with different types of tea leaves. It was a special nigh-time blend that she had once recieved from a friend of hers a long time ago, and kept it for times like this. Looking into the container, she mumbled how she needed to ask her friend for more soon, and got to work making the tea. While doing so, she pondered on the recent events, the revelations that occured that day. It was going to be a challenge, and Yuuki knew that things could turn out dangerous.
Finishing pouring the tea into two cups and bringing it out to her living room, setting it down on the coffee table. Looking up at the standing Iana, she handed the younger witch a cup.
"Here. It's a wonderful tea, I hope you like it." Sitting back down, and taking the other cup for herself, she worried about Destiny. It was a major psychic trauma she had had earlier that day, and Yuuki was quite worried that she wasn't fully recovered yet. Setting down her cup, she reached over to her cell phone on the side table and texted a breif message to her best friend, asking if everything was ok. Yuuki looked outside once more. It was a dark night tonight.

“as pleasant as ever I see” Tramer said with a slight chuckle still looking up at the sky, “I am just making my usual rounds, but I must ask what would bring the leader of the hunters down a dark ally while caring a very valuable piece of parchment at this hour?” Tramer said looking down making eye contact with Destiny as he lined back relaxed agents the brick wall.

"I can assure you that this piece of paper holds no value to you, and as for your first comment, it is not my job to disspence pleansantries to you. By all rights, you should be dead."
Taking advantage of Tramer looking up at the sky she lept behind him and held her sai against is neck.
"Which I could remedy that little problem right now."
But before she had a chance to apply any pressure a seering pain shattered her mental blocks, visions of lips meeting, flesh meeting flesh, and a ruby ring on a finger flashed through her head causeing her to drop the sai with a clatter on the ground. Backing into the wall behind her she started to rub her temples.
"WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY AROUND YOU!?" She screamed, not feeling the vibrations her cell phone was giving off in her pocket.

Tramer made no attempts to protect himself as Destiny attacked, having killed so many hunters in the last few centuries and not to mention having been a hunter himself he anticipated the attack, closely lessoning to her every motion and breath he had plenty time to react, and yet even after seeing her make her move Tramer did nothing. Fully having expected to die Tramer turned around looking at Destiny a puzzled expression on his face after the Sai fell to the ground, Tramer knelt down and picked up the weapon, returning to a stranding position Tramer gracefully spun the weapon in-between his fingers, stopping and letting the blunt of the blade rest agents his forearm Tramer held out the hilt of the weapon toward Destiny, a part of himself was screaming inside his head, telling him to kill her already, she was a threat and held an item Tramer needed to acquire, thou Tramer still made no aggressive actions toward her. Tramer could think of no response to her comment, he tried to say something but only found his mouth empty for words, forcing his mind back to his mission Tramer regained his composure “im going to try a slightly unusual way of acquiring that piece of parchment you carry, may I please have it?” Tramer asked, “there are many secrets on those pages, many more than the written word can hold, in the wrong hands they very well might mean the end for all…but in the right hands…” Tramer said trailing off as he began to wonder who’s hands were the right hands, thou in the end his loyalty to Constance won out “who knows what events would unfold” Tramer continued still holding the hilt of the Sai out toward Destiny.

Iana heard Yuuki's reply from the kitchen and responded shortly, "It's OK. That sounds splendid." Still standing, lightly stretching her legs from the lack of use by shifting her weight from one to the other. Once the tea was in her grasp and Yuuki seated, Iana sat back down, but was now near the edge, cup in hand, elbows on knees, and lightly blew on the hot liquid. She tentatively took a sip to find the mixture to be quite soothing. Still finding it a bit too warm for her tastes, simpling alternated between blowing across it and sipping to discern when she could attain a better taste.
Looking up from the tea she quickly noticed the worry etched on Yuuki's face. Noting the other witches actions of texting something, she asked in a concerned yet friendly tone, "Is everything alright?"

Looking down at the sai she noticed a ring on his right hand. Grabbing him by the wrist she turned it over to see the whole thing. It was a simple silver band with a single blood ruby.
"Where did you get that?"
She asked her voice quivvering as she looked up into his eyes. She could feel her body start to shivver at the relm of possibilities that had just opened up.
Not waiting for an answer to her first question she grabbed him by the collar swung him around and backed him against the wall.
"Why do you haunt my dreams?! Why is it that I can not kill you!? Why do I feel..." Cutting herself off she leaned up and forcefully claimed his lips with her own. Her grip on his collar began to loosen.

Constance looked down the long table. "I have already told you that this meeting can not start until all members are here." She said, holding onto her last bit of patience. "Two members are missing. Therefore the meeting can not start."
Sally sighed lightly and nodded. Two members where missing, Tramer and Victor. She would give them a peice of her mind after the meeting. Tramer was always excused from everything if he had a reason and Victor was always busy exicuting new borns with no masters. They would both have their excuses and would be let off.

When Destiny commented on the ring Tramer froze, “it cant be…its not possible” Tramer thought to himself, Tramer became even more confused with the kiss, getting passed all his doubts and confusion wanted nothing more than to enjoy this moment no mater the explanation, Tramer pulled away from Destiny’s lips looking into her eyes a warm expression on his face almost making him look human again, as Tramer took in a deep breath his pupils dilated as he took in the sent of warm fresh blood, Tramer’s hart began to race and the urge to feed became almost uncontrollable, only from centuries worth of willpower was he able to keep from tearing into Destiny’s throat. Pushing Destiny away Tramer fought to keep his composure, gently freeing himself from Destiny Tramer started to walk away stopping only several steps away, Tramer was still trying to contemplate how she recognized the ring, he new a variety memories were hidden in the pages, and he decided that she must had acquired the memory form there, this for the most part eased Tramer’s mind, thou one thing still bothered him he just couldn’t figure out why the former leader of the vampires would have such specific information on him much less how he could have acquired it at all, but Tramer pushed these thoughts aside remembering he had a meeting to attend, “I…” Tramer stopped not knowing what to say, confused and wanting little more than some time to try and figure out what was going on Tramer jumped into the air jumping back and forth in-between the buildings till he made it the rooftops, from there he made his way back to headquarters.
Once making his way through the seemingly endless checkpoints and security Tramer casually entered the meeting room, as Tramer walked he pulled a cigarette from a pocket in his pants along with plain shiver Zippo lighter, once near his seat Tramer lined up agents the wall facing toward the center of the room, lighting the cigarette Tramer took in a deep breath and then slowly exhaled relishing a long steady stream of smoke from both him mouth and nostrils, Tramer said nothing hating having to attend these meeting.

Destiny's chest heaved slowly and she could feel her throat tighten and tears start to burn her eyes as Tramer stepped away. She had to be loosing her mind. She had compleatly let her gaurd down, not only that she showed emotion for a monster. When he was out of sight on the rooftops her breathing began to even out.
Thinking about how he looked at her sent chills down her spine. His eyes were not a monster's, they looked oddly familiar. She felt as if in that one moment she knew everthing about him and then nothing at all. She couldn't stand the thought of being pushed off by a leech, even as a potential meal. The thought made her furious to the point she wanted to yank her hair out. Lifting her face up to the sky she let out an annoyed scream.
Then wrapping her jacket closer around herself and clutching her bag to her tightly she began the walk home again.
Once she was safe in her apartment she locked the door, flopped down on the couch and pulled out her cell phone.
Seeing that Yukki had texted her she just dialed her number and waited for the beep of the answering machine.
BEEP
"Hey Yukki, I really need to talk to you. Come over as soon as you get this, I am not sure if I am alright or not. Talk to ya. Bye."
Closing her phone she leaned her had back on the armrest of the couch. Her eyes closed slowly as she nodded off to sleep.

Jigantro sat with his back flat against the cold brick of a nearby building. The darkened alley hid him from the passerbys that stood out late and waited for the bars to close. With no people around, he wouldn't have to deal with all of the hunters, which seemed to be popping up more and more lately.
"Man, there seem to be more people today than usual, even for a Friday."
He said silently to himself as he saw a tall man with an even larger overcoat pass by the alleyway.

Yuuki looked up from her cell phone after Iana had cut the silence for a moment.
"Yes, Everything should be alright. I'm just a little worried for Destiny is all. She didn't seem to be fully back to normal just yet, so I just wanted to check on her... Hmm?" Looking beside her she noticed the Red light flashing on her cell signaling a new message. Now when did that happen, she thought to herself.
Walking over to the cell phone for a moment she picked it up from where she had left it on the side table, and dialed in the number that would get her to her messages. He eye's widened as she heard her best friends voice on the other line, and heard the message. This didn't happen often, worry shot through Yuuki's eyes as she wondered what had happened. Yuuki quickly ended the phone conversation after saving the message and put the phone in the purse that was on the floor.
"Iana, I'm sorry to leave you like this, but it seems like Destiny needs me for a little, I think it's a little personal, so I think I might just go alone. And remember, I think I heard something about another board meeting at the HQ tomorrow afternoon, so I imagine I'll be able to see you then? I hope so! and do you know you're way out of here? ok. Thne I must be leaving, you can let yourself out and I'm sorry once again for this." Yuuki apologized to Iana, bowing as she did so. While she was talking she grabbed her purse, put on her shoes, and threw on her coat. Walking over and opening her window with a small flick of her wrist, she crouched down as if to leap from the building
"I'll see you tomorrow Iana! Have a good night!" Without a word, she jumped from the building, the window closing behind her, her wind magic flaring to life as she pushed herself along the skies as if on some sort of board. Gracefully darting around the city, it didn't take long to reach Destiny's apartment, and she dropped herself onto the balcony, and let herself in through the window Destiny left open for her. Walking in, she noticed Destiny, partially asleep on the couch. Smiling softly, she backed herself against the wall.
"Jeez, I came all the way here and you're asleep, Destiny. Really..."

Stirring at hearing Yuuki's voice Destiny's eyes opened slowly and she sat up.
"After hearing what happened you won't be able to blame me for just wanting to sleep life away." She replied to her friends smart a** remark.
Standing up she started to pace the length of the room wanting to choose her words carfully.
"Ummm.. Yuuki, do you know anything about reincarnation, alter egos, memories that never happened to you, or anything like that?" Looking over at her friend she could feel the familiar p***k of tears begining to form.
