((*snuggles back* x3 Nothin' much, just getting some action going in this place, how about you? Going to be moving soon, so I have that to look forward too...))
Jade didn't have to wait very long to find out what had Deity so apprehensive. Her eyes narrowed visibly upon the appearance of Angel, the demon hunter she'd met back on Orion. One who she thought had helped her, but only used her to locate Deity. Someone she didn't like in the least.
As soon as Angel had started moving again, following the same path as Deity a few moments before, Jade didn't stay where she was anymore. Her water bottle forgotten on the bar counter, she ran after Angel, jaw clenched and teeth bared slightly as she bounced off the wall in the hallway when she took the right turn.
Taking the stairs in leaps and bounds, she skidded to a stop just inside the entrance to the arena, crouched low as she surveyed the scene. She had to stop herself from calling out to either Deity or Angel, waiting to see what she could do...if anything...but watch.

::Ignoring the presence of the girl behind him, Angel simply follows the directions given to him by his built-in computer, which even then only catches glimpses of Deity's position as he races back and forth, sprinting circles around the room at such a crazed speed. The slayer spins and pivots, his arms changing aim independantly as he unleashes a constant barrage of rounds, the loud popping of his gunfire reverberating off of the stadium walls.
Doing his best to stay away from the space inbetween Charade and the entryway corridor, the Mystic Orinian dashes around the room at several hundred times the speed of sound, only the echoing sound of his boots hitting the walls and floor giving away his physical presence. With a rain of shattered stone and empty bullet casings all around him, Jake growls with annoyance that he's not hit his target once.::
Damnit, hold still!!
::Ceasing fire and holstering the right-handed weapon, the hunter falls silent in wait for a glimpse of Deity. A heartbeat after this silence, the Mystic devil slows down slightly as he prepares to make a sharp turn near the Northern corner of the ring, persisting in staying away from Jade. As though suddenly aware of this movement, Angel thrusts his right arm over to the left, palm open. His metal appendage strangely stretches out over seventy feet, growing somewhat narrower as it fires out like a bullet. Gritting his teeth together, Angel snaps his hand shut just in time. A loud crash resounds as Deity trips forward - stopped and, hence, visible again - his arms crossing in front of him as he slams torso-first into the ring floor, cracking the stone tiles. His left calf is being held onto by Angellus, who quickly lifts his gun to take aim.
Smirking at his opponent, Jake gets Deity into his sights and pulls the trigger for a single gunshot, aiming for his head. His right arm shifting underneath his torso with his left palm on the tile, Deity forcefully kicks his left foot back and away from Angel just a breathe before he fires. The round is thus thrown off course before ever being shot, instead hitting the Orinian in his left shoulder. A loud, explosive pop is heard as it hits him, Deity's body jerking to his left in a roll as his growls out in pain. His blood sprays briefly into the air and onto the floor, the boy curling up slightly, intentionally, to hide the injury.
His body being dragged through the air like a fish on a hook after being pulled by the arm, the bounty hunter yelps as he is tugged through the air toward his wounded enemy. Not waiting to get another reading on his target's condition, he takes aim again, expecting to fly by overhead for an easy shot. However, just as he reaches the Tonepian, Deity thrusts his right arm up, hand balled into a fist as he rolls back over onto his spine. With no time for him to react, Angellus' ribcage is slammed by the backs of Deity's knuckles, his grip on Deity's leg and his gun releasing as he's seen careening backward the same way he came.
Angel's limp body hits the ring back-first, his form rolling and tumbling about madly, slowed quickly and dramatically as his elongated metal arm strains to shorten again, dragging along the stone floor. Sparks resulting from the prolonged scraping, his nanomachine limb returns to its normal length shortly after its owner comes to a stop, unconscious on his stomach just ten feet from the ring edge. On the farther side of the stage at the Northern corner, Deity sits back up, his right hand now lightly grasping his left shoulder. While there is blood on his neck and trickling down his arm, he's no longer wounded, the left strap of his tank top cleanly blown off.::
.....okay....oww...
::As he gets up to his feet, the tall Orinian all but ignores his attacker's presence, a somber look now enveloping his expresson as he looks upon Jade, nowhere near where he wanted her. It's hard enough to deal with Angel, harder still if he must worry about his lover's safety.::

Jade had watched the sequence of events in silence, unable to do anything but watch. Her senses, even above those of a human, couldn't keep up with the speed Deity was putting out, her ears hearing the sounds of boots hitting long after he'd already moved on.
But her eyes couldn't hide the shock and fear at the sight of Angel shooting and hitting Deity in the shoulder, and thankfully not his head. Even when the Tonepian tried to hide the injury, he couldn't hide the heavy scent of his blood from her nose.
When Deity had turned towards her, she was already walking briskly towards him, a mere twenty feet away now. Her face was a mixture of emotions, between fear, worry, and possibly anger. It was hard to sort them out. When she came up to Deity, the young woman didn't say a word, instead grabbing his left arm and lifting it slightly, her eyes traveling up it to his shoulder, looking over the already healed wound around his fingers.
It wasn't until a few moments later that her expression finally softened a little and she let his arm fall back to his side, though her fingers still were lightly intertwined with his. Her green eyes traveled up to his and held his gaze.
"......You know better than to tell me not to follow....especially if he's involved...."
Jade's head turned slightly in the direction of the currently unconscious Angel, her eyes glaring dangerously at him for a moment before looking back up at Deity.

::Sighing deeply as Jade inspects his arm for injuries, the Orinian's red eyes never leave the girl's, his right canine fang snagging the corner of his lower lip. Shortly after the Saiya-jin's words, her head now turned away, Deity opens his mouth to speak, now just above a whisper as his right hand falls to his side, droplets of blood occasionally leaving his fingertips on their way to the floor.::
...he isn't your problem...
::With that grave look remaining on his face, the red-haired devil glances across the room at the incapacitated bounty hunter for but a breathe before looking back down to Jade, closing his left hand lovingly tighter around her right. While he realizes that Jade can't just stand by and watch Deity in danger without helping, in such a case as this, he sees the best way for her to help is to steer clear of the battle.::

"Is so." Her tone was such that despite what Deity would say to argue the point, Jade would still see Angel as an issue and problem of her own.
"He used me to find you. And now he's trying to kill you. Do you really think I'd just stand safely by while someone tried to kill the man I love?"
Her green eyes were sharp, and serious as she looked up at him. She held his left hand tighter, ignoring the warm stickiness of the blood that clung to his skin.
"I'd rather face the same danger as you, and know I could help if the chance came up, then be somewhere safe, only to find out that something happened to you I could have prevented...."
A slight smile appeared. "Angel, Caine, Taliman, Fierce...whoever....I'd face them all if I knew it would help you..."

::Perhaps strangely, Jade's words bring little comfort to the Orinian, the smile given by her not mirrored as he bows his head forward and turns it to his left. While it is indeed comforting that she wishes to stay beside him no matter the circumstance, putting herself blatantly in danger isn't something he'd wish her to do. His head low and aimed away from her still, Deity's lips part once more as though to reply.
Moments pass, and he says nothing, his jaw slowly closing shut upon the realization that he hasn't the words. Gently releasing the young girl's hand and taking his own back, he takes a step to the side, as though to move around her. Before he does, however, his left hand finds her right shoulder, and he stops, turning around to face her side. With a tender inhalation, his pouting lips brush softly against her crown, sihis fingers giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. The kiss breaks only seconds later, Deity leaning away and turning clockwise again to walk away, toward Angellus.
Motioning gently with his left wrist as he moves, the slayer's gun, still left near Jade, skids along the ground after him in the same direction. He intends to return to the hunter his weapon and find him a suitable place to sleep off that blow. Sighing softly in mid-stride, he reaches up and curls his fingertips into the front of his shirt, his arms crossing as he lifts the ravaged garment up and off of his body. He nonchalantly drops his arms to his sides, a flick of his right wrist causing the ruined shirt to vanish into thin air.::

Perhaps it was selfish of her, wanting to take whatever risks there were to help him. She knew that putting herself at risk was the one thing he didn't want her to do. Yet she still did it, and wished to do it. One couldn't be sure why, whether it was her natural warrior instinct, or her deep love for him that made her want to do it.
For the moment though, Jade was content just to stand there with him. Deep inside, she knew he wouldn't respond to her statements, hell, she didn't know what to say to that either. Her smile grew softer as she felt his lips against her crown, after a moment of her heart dropping when he let go of her hand.
Then she felt him fully turn away and walk from her, lifting her eyes and head to watch him walk towards Angellus, the hunters gun moving across the floor after him. For a moment there was the fear that the gun would somehow shoot again, but after a moment of watching, and seeing it was just following after Deity like a puppy, she relaxed a little. Still, Jade was not comfortable with the idea of the weapon being returned. That only meant that another attack would come.
But Jade did feel her face heat up when she watched Deity take off the tattered remains of his red tank top, and if he turned around, a blush would be reddening her cheeks. For the moment, she remained standing where she had been, watching and wondering if she should follow him, or perhaps return to the bar.
