[My computer closed out and lost my post... T3T]
Yukiko watched him for a moment and then grinned, hooking her arm around Hiro's. "Well, we were lone woves too!" she cried. "Just, we were alone... together and... we're not wolves." She paused, frowning to herself for a moment as she realized she probably sounded kind of dumb. But then she blinked and shook her head, smiling back up at Lee. "Besides, you can never be too old for playgrounds! Otherwise, why would they bother building one at a high school!" She spun around, releasing Hiro so she wouldn't pull him around with her. She stared out over the playground, triangular tipped tail flicking excitedly behind her. "What do you want to do first then?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder at Lee. "Yuki's going to wake up soon so I want to play a little before she does."

Micha and Laurel ran onto the playground, giggling. Micha looked around, seeing other people there, and was afraid Laurel would make them leave, but Laurel didn't seem to notice. She ran up to her sister, poking her and whispering "Tag, you're it!" Then she ran over to hide behind the swings. Micha grinned, running after her. *I'm gonna get you,* she called mentally. *You hafta catch me first! I'm the faster one!* Micha laughed, shakeing her head. *Are not!* She put on an extra burst of speed, throwing herself forward to catch Laurel's wrist. "Gotcha!" Laurel pulled away. *Okay, you win. C'mon, let's play on the monkey bars!* She reached up towards them, pulling herself up and starting to swing herself forward. Micha followed, still shooting glances at the other people on the playground.

Lee looked around the play ground wondering what he could do to entertain himself. The playground didnt seem fun to him at all really, he wasnt much of a game player unless he had a reason to. This time it seemed no reason at all so he improvised and became the wolf. He turned quickly into the red wolf and his eyes changed from purple to re dinstantly. "It matters not to me, just need to stretch my legs.

Yukiko saw Hiro's eyes widened out of the corner of her own and turned to stare at him for a moment, wondering what he was so shocked around. Then she looked back at Lee, finding herself staring at the red wolf now. She blinked and then grinned, fangs in plain view. "He can transform too!" she cried to Hiro. "Isn't it wonderful?" She reached out a very pale hand, scratching Lee gently behind his ears, being careful not to hurt him with her claws. She smiled happily at him and then turned back to the playground. She noted the two girls on the monkey bars so she looked past them and to the jungle gym. "That," she said simply, and then darted forward, skipping several stairs as she jumped onto the first platform, and then to the next, until she arrived at the slide. She sat down at the top of it, grinning at the two males. Hiro just stared back, an amused look on his face.

Micha pulled herself up through the bars of the monkeybars, sitting on the top and motioning Laurel to do the same. Laurel turned to face her, gripping the bars tightly to keep from falling. *Lor. 'Member what you were telling Zasz an' me earlier? 'Bout...the night before we left? You never told me the whole thing.* Laurel looked at her sadly. Out loud, she said "Let's go sit by the tree, an' I'll tell you." They both jumped down, walking slowly to sit under the shade of the tree. "Okay." Laurel felt like something this serious had to be said out loud. "That night, you fell asleep early. I stayed up, reading. I heard Mom an' Dad yelling downstairs. Mom kept saying 'They're too young. Don't take my babies away, they're too young.' An' Dad would tell her 'They're not babies, they're freaks. Disobedient freaks. They hear everything we think. They have to go.' Finally Mom was quiet, an' Dad said 'It's the only way. They leave tomorrow.' I stayed up most of the night, I couldn't sleep. An' the next morning, they told us we were coming here. But I knew they were lying when thy said we were coming to learn how to fight." Laurel looked down, starting to cry. *Mi, I was so scared.* Micha hugged her tightly. *It'll be okay, Lor. I promise.*

A cloaked figure familiar to one of the current inhabitants of the playground entered the area. She kept her distance though and though she wore rather skimpy clothing she would soon be seen as more of a threat then at first glance. The weapon she wore on her arm was in the situation where it covered her hand like a sort of blade-like barrier and she watched from beneath a hood that shadowed over her eyes as a boy changed into a red wolf and then a girl left her target and ended up at the slide. Seishi watched silently until this had happened, and once it had there was barely half a moment that passed before she seemingly appeared out of nowhere behing Hiro, cloak waving casually as her blades were quickly raised to his neck in front of him. This position was very vulnerable in multiple spots, but for now it was what best completed the task she was aiming for at the moment. She whispered in his ear gently "Don't move..." in the soft voice that she hated and at a volume that made it audible only to his ears...not even the Red Wolf nearby would be able to hear-no matter it's strength in that area. She breathed calmly even though she was not quite as tall as him and was at a bit of a stretch as she held her blades up to him. He'd been absent whenever she had goe through her half Life half Death angel phase, and to theese people she was neither so far...that was how it would stay for a while, if she did this right. Hiro was her only source of socialization now, since she still could not find her Master's target...

Hiro just smiled at Yukiko, amused by her actions. Yuki never did anything like this. Or at least, she didn't do it so easily. He would've had to drag her to the slide and force her down it if she were the one in control. But apparently she was taking a nap, or something, so Yukiko had gained temporary control of the shared body. He didn't feel like joining in just yet, and stood where he was, simply smiling. Though, it faded instantly as he felt someone come up behind him, and then breathed in the familiar scent. He felt something against his neck and tensed, hand moving to his sword but not drawing it. He stood perfectly still, not turning his head because he knew who it was. He thought for a moment of extending his large wings to knock her over, but decided against it. She might slit his through as she stumbled or something, and he wasn't sure he'd be able to heal himself from that, even if he had rested. "...what do you want?" he growled after a moment. He still didn't understand why she'd attacked them before, unaware of the whole vampire vs demon thing. Besides, he was a combination of both himself. But, it seemed she'd found some reason to come bothering him again, and he had no idea why. He growled softly in his throat, growing annoyed. His hand tightened on the hilt of his sword, but he didn't draw it.
Meanwhile, from her perch at the top of the slide, Yukiko gazed down upon Hiro and this new girl. Her icy eyes narrowed slightly as she let herself go down the slide, jumping to her feet as soon as she reached the end. She approached cautiously, not wanting to provoke anything, as she her eyes kept flicking between the female, Hiro, and the weapon she held to Hiro's neck. She didn't recognize her, and she didn't think Hiro was the type to pick fights with others. So, why would this person have a grudge against him? She came to a stop, about five feet in front of the two as she stared at them. She debated for a moment wether to just stab her from behind with a pillar of ice, but decided to give her a chance to explain herself first.

Seishi could feel Hiro's bodyheat and she could tell without looking where his hand was, so slowly she reached her hand to his sword and once she reached it she moved within the same moment and her hand was on top of his with a firm grip. Through the firm grip her skin was very soft, and as she finally decided to answer him her cloak moved a little more in the wind and she waited for the breeze to stop blowing before actually finishing her sentence. She noticed within the amount of time the breeze took to pass that the girl from before was now but five and a half feet from where she stood at the moment. With her senses alert she began to speak again "Another Purpose..." at first this was all she said but then after waiting another moment she said more. "I recieve that only through you...Your Choice." This was all she would say, she would not finish her explanation. She was alert to the possibilities that mght arise from her finishing her sentence, and though she feolt protected from Hiro this girl was someone that Seishi had seen before, felt before...and she had no knowledge of her abilities so she could not feel perfectly safe until after she was gone or any action she might possibly do would have a negative effect. Therefore her thoughts were only of a way out and nothing more...

Hiro tensed slightly as he felt her hand move over his atop the sword, and he frowned to himself. He didn't move to retaliate though, and simply stood there, wings folded against his back and hand clenched around the sword, under hers now. His eyes flicked to Yukiko's but he said nothing, and simply stared at her. Though, he gave her a reassuring look, not wanting her to rush into attacking, as Yukiko was prone to doing. He blinked as he heard the first thing Seishi said, but waited quietly for more. Though, once he recieved it, nothing was really cleared up and he remained as confused as before. "What are you talking about?" he replied quietly. If she was simply going to talk and not hurt him, then he didn't understand why she'd come up behind him like this. Therefore, he could only assume she intended to hurt him sooner or later. He kept readying himself for the weapon to slice into his throat, but it never did. He hid this from Yukiko though, knowing she'd attack for sure if she knew. For now, she was simply watching in silence, not moving closer or farther away from the two. She just stared, eyes still narrowed. She wasn't armed, except for a dagger that was on her belt. Her hands never moved towards it though, and instead remained slightly raised at her sides. She was confused. Just who the hell was this girl, and what were her motives? But more importantly, why had she targeted Hiro in the first place? They seemed to know each other though... Had something happened?

Micha woke up suddenly. She shook her head for a moment in confusion, then realized she and Laurel had fallen asleep under the tree. She was still holding tightly onto her twin, and her sleeve was still wet, so she figured they hadn't been asleep for long. Letting go of her sister, she laid her down gently on the grass and went over to sit on the swings, to wait for Laurel to wake up. She began to pump slowly, until she was flying through the air. She sent the lightest thought out towards Laurel, so that she would know where to look for Micha when she woke up, and wouldn't panic. "This is fun! I wish I could fly for real," she said wistfully as she swung, "'stead of just on a dumb old swing."

Seishi waited and gave Hiro a chance to ask more of her but when that did not come she oworked off of what he had already said by detailing her last two words. "Your choice...it's very polar...I will be your enemy and listen to instinct around Vampire and Fox...or...I will serve under you, under your ownership..." She said this and then kept her senses perfectly clean and razor sharp as she waited for him to reply. She had not planned on being so blunt, but she had not spoken of anything more then the target's termination before...she had not had much of a feeling of being valued when around Shadow, not until close to the end when she killed him and took the final assignment that led her to this place and led Hiro to this choice that he must make. She had never before now had to think about her words so little...never before now had she used any of those words just about...

Hiro waited quietly again for another reply, but his purple eyes widened greatly as he recieved it. He blinked several times, and then started to turn his head to look at her. Now he didn't really care about the weapon she was holding to his throat, too surprised. He turned, glancing over his shoulder and past his wings to stare at her in shock for a couple seconds. Had she really just said that? Serve under him? What did that even mean? He blinked a few more times and then frowned. It wasn't that hard to decide if he thought about it. I mean, either she continues bothering me, or I get to boss her around. Though, he knew he'd never be able to 'boss her around'. His eyes flicked back to Yukiko for a moment before returning to Seishi. And why's she bringing Yuki into this? he thought uncertainly. Simply because she's here now? He frowned and then closed his eyes. "What would... be required of me if you did start to.. serve me," he said, speaking haltingly. It really felt odd to be saying that. Yukiko just stared in utter confusion, not moving except for the triangular tipped tail behind her. Just what... were they talking about?

Seishi stood there a moment, her hood still covering most of her face and hiding whatever look might have ben on her eyes at the moment. That was an easy question but she would make him wait for the answer anyway, so she stood there silently. She was asking this of him-forcing this choice on him I guess it'd better be said-because she had lived her entire live under anothers command...and though free will was fresh her wll led her to want a life under the same rules. She waited there, quietly for just under a minute before she finally answered him. "Nothing...No requirements for ownership...All that changes is the amount of time I'm at your side..." she said this and then stopped again, not completely finished with n explanation but she was not going to finish her sentence anyway. Her grip had slightly tightened on his hand whenever his head had turned, but other then that she seemed to stand still all except for her lips...the entire time that she had been behind him. She was an assassin and it was not required, but she would recommend that she recieve tasks that fall under that category. It was not a necessity for her life, but this was only because she had one final target that would set her assassinating at rest if nothing else would.

Hiro stared at her in confusion, and was about to shake his head in desbelief when he remembered the weapon pressed to his neck. So he remained still, head tilted enough to see her but nothing more. He watched her for a couple seconds, just frowning slightly, and then exhaled slowly. Could he agree and then not order her around at all? Would that be ok? He somewhat doubted she'd be fine with that though. And was she asking him, of all people? Wouldn't she think he'd be mad at her, considering she'd attacked them not long before without any reason at all? Or at least, it seemed that way to him. He blinked a couple times as he thought over her words. "At my side?" he asked now, wondering if that meant she was going to stick to him like glue, which wasn't really what he wanted. He glanced over at Yukiko once more, who stared back utterly bewildered, and then turned back to Seishi. He was confused, no doubt about that, but he couldn't really confuse with those being his only two options. Maybe he could get away with not really telling her to do anything. He could say he was her... owner, but really she could do whatever she wanted. He didn't give a definite answer though, waiting to see if she'd explain a bit further or not.

She listened to the way he asked the question, and waited for more to come but when it did not and he left the silence as it was she spoke again, though she really hated to speak most of the time-because of her voice. "I have not yet been...and will be near you always instead..." Again she left it sounding as if there were more when really she did not intend on saying anything else. Her voice still rang in her mind, and though she had come to terms with it, once upon a time, her voice had a very unfitting, gentle, tone at the moment. In such a situation the prefered voice would be one of firmness and serious strictness. That her voice never changed tone bothered her, though it was caused by her lack of emotion. If she could neglect these emotions then maybe her life might make more sense as the years when on, but for now she would be forced to speak since obviously her soon-to-be new owner spoke very fluently and more often then she would have expected people to speak, even in such a civil community as this.
