Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Alright, Ill do what I can then. sweatdrop ))

James looked around, unable to see what was there, he shook his head thinking he was imagining it. It took him a few minutes to realize he was still holding Kiara. He let go promptly, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Uh.. sorry, I guess I'm just being a little paranoid." He said scratching his head, his face slightly red, with a sheepish grin on his face.

"Smooth genius, why dont you give her flowers and candy while your at it." He thought to him self, knowing how stupid he looked just now. He turned a way from her and stretched out, acting as if the battle had tired him out.

James was a little confused him self, now more then ever he felt out of place with him self, how could explain something that he himself didn't quite understand? Regardless, either she ignored his embarrassment or didn't notice it, either way he was happy she didn't bring it up. He lowered his arms, and turned to face her, his expression back to normal.

"Yeah, I guess my muscles are still a little tender from the lightning, the self-inflicted wounds are the worst. Even after there healed, they still have a bitter end to them." He replied with a short laugh.

It was a little bit of a lie, Fang had done his job well, but there was no denying he was exhausted. Doing what he did, was no small task, taking on not one but three enemies at a time. Each baring their own set of powers, to any one else, that would be nothing short of a miracle.

Whether or not he was born or cursed with his, there were days he was glad he had them, especially like today. "Any way, back to our first topic, if you want I don't mind trying to find him? After all in a way, he probably saved my butt too." he offered again, feeling some gratitude toward Edward.

"Hey ouch, let go!" He exclaimed. Jack had to fight his way free of her grip, despite her size shape and build, Kiara was stronger than she looked. When he was actually loose, he had to rub the shoulder of the arm she was pulling on. "Dang, you may not look it, but you nearly pulled my arm off with that." He said, as he shook the pain out of his arm.

It didn't take him long to regain his posture, even though she was strong, he was stronger still. Thankfully his modesty wouldn't allow him to say that. "Any way, I cant really tell you because I don't know, I was in a coma remember? All I know is, when I woke up I had these strange.....powers. I could move things with my mind, and it seems my strength is even greater than professional athletes. I'm talking Olympic world class body builders." He told her, trying to explain the limits of his powers.

"Even if I am one of these guys, which I doubt. It's not like I can just close my eyes, think of what they look like, and instantly know where they are. Cause to be honest I don't think it works like that. You've seen it your self, that one guy didn't even know what I was till he sniffed me. If what your implying was true, then they would have known about me right from the beginning. Besides, Edward up and vanished into thin air. I may be a good tracker, but even I'm not that good." He explained again, obviously finding Edward would be a lot harder then it looked.

As he watched her how ever, he could tell there was more about Edward then she was letting on. If shes that worried about him, then they must be close. He thought to him self as he let out a sigh. "Alright, I think I can use a locator spell on him, but its going to be difficult since I don't know what he looks like. It would be easier if I had a piece of his clothes, a lock of his hair, or a drop of his blood to amplify it. Other wise its going to be tricky." He said, giving her some glimmer of hope.

James gave a half-smile at her reaction, he knew she didn't mean to hurt him, but he could tell she was worked up about Edward. His smile turned into something of a grin when she made her comment though. "He-he, thanks, I think." He wasn't sure how to take it, but he decided to call it flattery. It wasn't until she mentioned Vampire, that he put 2 and 2 together, which changed his expression quickly.

"Edward's a Vampire? Well that explains his speed, and that vanishing trick. I heard they became public some time ago, but I didn't think I would actually run into one." He said, rather astounded. ((Remember he doesn't know much about the supernatural world.)) He did how ever start thinking of another way to find him.

"The only reason I asked, is because the spell works better if I had something close to him, like some of his DNA or something he wore. It amplifies the signal, making it easier to find him, so long as hes in the area." He said, explaining how the spell worked. He stopped to think for a moment, mostly about what she said. Having learned of Edward's race, he began to wonder what she was.

"Hold on, if he's a Vampire, what does that make you?" He asked, it was a legitimate question, seeing as he didn't know much about her.

James was rather surprised at her answer, Fang he understood considering his watch-dog behavior, but her!? That threw him for a loop. "Wait, your a werewolf?! Wow, that explains a lot, still that's a shocker. I mean as pretty as--" he had to bite that last comment back, it would only make this more awkward then it already was. He turned around, feeling insecure.

Get a grip you moron, she's Edwards girl, and the last thing you need to do is piss off a Vampire. He thought to him self, as he ran his fingers through his hair. In one swift moment, he popped his neck in 4 different places, it was one of his tell-tells that he was nervous. He only hoped she didn't catch on. Once he had his composure back, he turned around to face her.

"Any way, with out something to harness his energy signature, it would take hours. 3 if were lucky. Do you know how many vampires are running around in this city? Lets just say the odds are thin." He explained, knowing it would be difficult. That's when it dawned on him.

"Hey, yeah. Your a werewolf, cant you just track him by his sent? You pick up his location and Ill find him. Why didn't I think of that before?" He asked to himself, before he started laughing.

James's eyes grew wide when he heard that, against his will a smile curled on his lips, and his cheeks grew red. The moment he caught it, he grabbed his mouth and turned his head, if he was nervous before he was embarrassed now. He wanted to pull his hood over his head, and never come out of it. He tried to shake it off before he talked again. Jesus, your acting like a school-boy with a crush, get over it! He thought to himself, trying to regain control of his actions.

He had to think about her question, but under the circumstances it made sense. "Although I don't like being grouped with those guys, there is some logic to your point. Alright, sniff away I guess.." He finished as he held out his coat, unsure of what he was getting into.

James winced when she said that, he just realized he was doing the same thing she was to him, which made him feel a little guilty about it. "Oops, sorry, wont happen again." He said with a guilty laugh, and actually meaning it.

As she circled around him, a strange feeling crept over him, causing a shiver to run down his spine. The cold had nothing to do with it, it was the sense of being helpless pray, hunted by a predator. The weird part being, he actually enjoyed it. He had to shake his head, as he bit back another smile. If she ends up stalking me, I'm a dead man for sure. That thought scared him more then any thing, the idea he would actualy consider it, made it even worse.

When she came back around, he was in utter shock, his jaw ran slack as he gazed at her. His hands lost the ability to grip, so he let go of his coat. All he could do, was stand there and admire the splendor of what he saw. Once again another smile curved his lips, but this one he didn't try to hide. It wasn't embarrassment or nervousness that drew it from him, but absolute awe, as he looked on. "Woooow." The only word he could muster at the time, but it said all he needed too.

Never in his life had he seen something so beautiful, Kiara's wolf form had him completely stunned, he knelt down to see her better. Out of instinct, he reached out to pet her, but drew it back feeling it would be wrong. That gave him time to get his thoughts together. "Right, yeah. We have to find Edward, can you track the sent?" He asked, wanting to get moving.

((Is it just me, or are both guilds rather quiet as of late? confused ))

James got the message, when Kiara came to his hand, that it was okay to pet her. So when she brushed against him, he took a little more time to do it. Carefully he stroked her neck back and forth, the fur felt soft and gentle to the touch, he smiled and laughed as it tickled his palm. All the while he pet her, he studied her closely, she looked so majestic it was almost natural as if she was born a wolf.

He laughed again, when she licked his hand, which he quickly wiped on his pant leg. As he watched her, he started to wonder what that would be like, to see that from her eyes. Before he took the thought any further, he shook his head and blinked twice, trying to shake it off. "Do you know where he is yet?" His question seemed hollow in his mind, but paid no heed.

((That would do it, but that seems weird, I haven't experienced any thing like it yet. *knocks on wood* Lets just hope our luck holds up. blaugh By the way, my Death Whisper just evolved, and now I have the perfect sword to example Chaos Rose, what do you think? biggrin ))
