Red Rebels

Hokyo glanced at the blonde, who truly had not seemed to notice the desire of death from the man, what a dumb blonde…Grinding his teeth he thought about the offer, then it occurred to him a talent that Kei had. He had been dumb to forget it; if anyone was dumb it was him. He sighed and the arrow lowered itself. “Alright Kei, what game do you want to play?” He questioned him with a smile and a great deal of interest flared within him.

Free Lancer

Two days later…..
Soma had just entered the main Capital and already people had began to take note, well who wouldn’t with soldiers and all on tail around him. He felt like some prince in a lost kingdom, he knew that wasn’t right but he couldn’t feel more then happy. “Isn’t this exciting Light?!” He exclaimed looking a the woman that rode near him.
((Sorry Rena I sorta rushed the story forward, in order to keep others involved as well.))

It was not that the blond did not feel death upon her, but that she had more important matters to attend to. If she died, then so what, but if another died then she would feel the pain and suffering of that person on her soul till the end of time. That and she knew that if anything happened, Ray would jump to her aid and they would be safe anyway, it was just how the two of them worked. They could see what the other could, there for their field of vision was quite larger than that of the average human. She smiled and placed her hands on her knees before standing and letting out a yawn as she stretched.

“Kind of. I’m a healer, I go around helping people.” She looked at the little plush and could only smile “I see you are protective of her little guy. Fear not, I’m just a human who was given special abilities. I can not cast spells, or fly around on a broom. But….” She bent over to examine the animal a bit more before frowning “you’re not just an animated doll either are you…. You have a soul… a person?” The pieces came together and Yune stepped back with a frown. “I get it, when you heard the word witch…. You’re cursed aren’t you little guy.”

Kei tilted his head and grinned “the rules are simple” His eyes began to glow and he stepped to the side. “hit me before I cast the last symbol and you win. The way his eyes shone were like to that of when he was looking to the future. Sure hitting a person was easy, however when that person could see into the future, things grew significantly harder than before. He was already seeing future moves, steps, paths but even some of those were blocked by the option to do nothing. He placed his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. He would not need to look, but he would out of respect.

Kai would be the first to admit that Hokyo was most likely stronger than he, but because of Kai’s abilities, he had a bit of an advantage in this fight. He waved his hand in the air, scrambling the symbol he’d made before opening his eyes and smiling. “you know what it looks like, now just say go and we can begin, it would be unfair for me to do so.” There were other reasons why he was doing what he was doing but at this moment in time, it was just to have fun.

Kira looked on at the woman as she explained. The way she spoke did not seem deceitful, and so she should have no reason to believe that she had been lying about being a mere healer and not a witch. But, even so, this fact puzzled the thief to no end. In all of her life, and in all of her travels, she had never come across a normal human who had such ability. She had only known of non-magical beings, such as herself, and those who would quickly send curses to all those it would benefit themselves to hurt.

As the woman began to address her small companion, she turned her eyes slightly lower to look at the creature. As she watched him, her brow knitted with concern, she watched as the little toy seem to suddenly lose his recent fighting spirit.

"Gizmo, it's alright," She told her little friend as she scooped him up into one of her arms.

The little toy's eyes were downcast, and he didn't seem to respond to the thief's words. What the blonde woman had said had truely struck a cord in him small body.

Kira looked back up at the woman, her hardened personality showing once again as she placed her free hand onto her hips. Her body was still feeling rather weak from the blood loss, but now that her wound was closed, she knew she'd eventually be alright.

"If you're not a witch, then how do you know about my little friend's situation...?" She asked the other woman in an accusing tone of voice.

The little plush wiggled out from her hold, and looked over at the blonde, his composure seemingly regained. He nodded his head. Though he was unable to speak to her, it seemed he was responding to her earlier statements.

Sci nodded." Actually his name is Jirigo. I dont know exactly how old he is but I know from fighting him myself almost 3 years ago that he is extremely powerful. Well at that point he was extremely powerful. For all I know he could have been extremely weak and I even weaker. I know he enjoys the souls of the pure in heart. He enjoys devouring them actually. He becomes more powerful with each soul. I inherited that trait actually." Sci smiled though and pointed at his mask." But this mask counteracts that ability. The urge only happens when the demon part of me surfaces and because of my mother this mask becomes impossible to remove when I am not in my right mind. So I wont eat you." Sci smiled again his mask rising as he did so.

Bandi raised an eyebrow and laughed nervously at Sci's joke, not knowing whether to relieved or vigilant.
"In any case, I'll look into this Jirigo. I came from the far east myself, so I am not familiar with too much Demons of the west. I should be able to llok something up in the archives of the castle or the temple, however. But for now, fill your stomach. I imagine it'll be very soon that you'll be off if Hokyo decides to put you on his payroll...." He jested and poured him a mug of beer. He ordered his food and waited for Sci to do the same.
"Now, it would also be useful to me if I could get a blood sample from you. Not much, just a few drops would do."

Kira held her hands over her stomach as the blonde scurried off for a moment. She glanced down at it, and suddenly a fierce look came over her. She seemed to stare at her stomach with a challenging expression.

"You stupid thing..." She spoke softly so no one else could hear her, "You'll be the death of me, you know that? One of these days you're gonna make me follow you to somewhere dangerous just because you wanna have food in you! How do you think I feel?" She asked, her voice raising gradually as she spoke.

After a moment, she stopped mid-word, and stared at the ground with wide eyes. Had she just been speaking to her own stomach? Had she expected it to talk back? This was strange even for her. But, she just brushed it off, blaming it on her weakened state.

When the blonde had arrived back to her, she had looked up with her cerulean eyes, and blinked. Just like that, this woman had given her food. Normally, she would fear accepting such a gift, as she was always paranoid about catching disease from someone else's food. But, since this woman was a healer, for some reason, she figured she was a healthy woman, as well.

And so, without much delay, the thief held out her hands, and scooped up the bread with one hand, and the fruit with the other. No thought crossed her mind as she began to stuff her face with the delicious sustenance. The bread, though she knew it was probably bought at least a day before, tasted fresh as she bit into it. After chewing and swallowing, she then attacked the fruit. The sugary goodness danced in her mouth and excited her taste buds. She seemed in ecstasy, allowing the juice to run down her chin without so much as the slightest acknowledgement.

Gizmo looked on at his friend with a questioning look before he turned toward the blonde once more. From the way he looked up at her, if he could smile, he most definitely would have.

He zipped over toward Kira, and burrowed his way into the bag on her shoulder.

"Hey!" The thief scolded through a full mouth, ungracefully spitting a few chunks of fruit and bread.

The little toy soon emerged from the bag, and flew over to the blonde with one of his large hands out in front of him, close to the woman's face.

In his hand was a golden necklace encrusted with diamond and ruby gem stones. The light reflected off of it and shown onto the blonde woman's face, sparkling like fish scales in water.

Kira quickly stuffed the remainder of the food into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a chipmunk's hoarding food for later. In a split second's time, she had grabbed hold of the little toy with both of her hands, fighting it to get back the golden piece of jewelry.

"I took that fair and square! There's no way I'm letting anyone else take this from me!" She argued with the little plush, his argument back little squeak noises that were incoherent.

"Don't you take that tone with me!" She scolded him, "Sorry, lady! You ain't gettin' this!" She said to their new companion as the toy sent an uppercut in the thief's direction.

Sci ordered his food and drink but laughed a little at the request." Alright but what do you intend to put it on?" Sci flicked out a blank Sutra card and with blade in hand flicked it across his finger. Sci then squeezed the tip of his pointer finger letting four or five large drops hit the card." Is that enough?" Sci took off his mask and stuck his finger in his mouth to stop the bleeding.
