((Simi went to supper, she'll be right back. And it was alright, got drunk with a couple buddies.))
Alasdair still had a grin on his lips, it seemed to be everlasting since he always wore it except on few occasions. If he was not grinning, then trouble was about. That was why he grinned now, on this dark moment. His violet eyes were focused on Veroen and his human pet. He was disgusted with the woman, and he would soon be hunting her like a dog. But something else caught the vampire's attention. It seemed that one of the demons did not leave as they were instructed. How fortunate.
Alasdair's violet gaze shifted slightly, so that he could see the approaching demon through the corner of his eyes. He saw the woman's body shift with the darkness into an abomination of the humanoid physique. It was how all demons should look, like abominations. His body appeared and he was covered in darkness, he was leaking shadows in fact. How appropriate.
The vampire did not acknowledge the demon, his body was still facing Veroen, but that did not mean that he was not ready for anything. Then he heard Meredith tell Veroen that he could return to Haven, like all the traitors. "I knew you were a traitor, becoming a hunter like the rest of the trash. Good." Alasdair voiced to Veroen, grinning still.

Shinigami lifted up his hand, a few fingers pointed more than the others, pointed at Alasdair. He was about to test the Vampire.
Veroen completely lost it at that point. He had had enough of Alasdair's attitude towards him. He immediately exploded into dark energy, and dissapeared from sight, reappearing in front of Alasdair, teeth clenched, and fists balled up. His small connection that he acquired from killing a Void user centuries ago had grown indeed. He rushed at Alasdair recklessly, and reared back his right arm, and sent it flying with Vampiric strength, aimed at Alasdair's face.
Shinigami stopped before he summoned any energy, surprised to see the one eyed Vampire appear from darkness, and charge at the other Void user. He had no idea the one eyed Vampire had such a connection. He lowered his arm, and simply watched.

((lol, just got one gift, it was from a friend.))
From the corner of his eye, Alasdair saw the demon raise his hand as if preparing an attack. But then he sensed a disturbance within the void. Veroen was preparing to use immense amounts of power, for an unskilled void user jumping consumed a lot of void power. So Alasdair's gaze quickly darted back to Veroen, and he let out a soft chuckle. Alasdair saw Veroen suddenly vanish into the darkness and reappear right in front of him. But the vampire knew where he was going to appear because his connection to the void had been strengthened far beyond Veroen. Since Alasdair had devoted hundreds of years to the void.
So the vampire waited for his enemy to ball up his fist and launch it at his face. But just when the fist was about to make contact with Alasdair's face, he vanished into the darkness. Alasdair vanished and reappeared on a few feet behind Meredith, in line with where Veroen had been standing.
"I shall take back what I had gave you Veroen, I will take back the void that I handed you." Alasdair grinned and stretched his free hand towards Veroen, closing his eyes. Even if Alasdair's eyes were closed, he could sense everything around him - maybe even better than with eyes opened.

She decided to just fall silent and let him know that she was there, she just held him close but just as she held him he gently shrugged her off and he zipped off to combat Alasdair. He was angry and she knew it and though she'd been able to tranquilize Ceon, Veroen was an entirely different matter. Vampires didn't have blood streams in which she could inject the tranq so she wasn't able to do anything but either watch helplessly since she had no chance of physically intervening or she could shoot Veroen with UV, something she wouldn't be able to bring herself to do. "Veroen! He's not worth it! Just let it go!"
--------------
Hideyo, like Shinigami stood back and observed as Veroen lost himself and began to attack her old comrade before she could properly respond to him. However, unlike Shinigami she was not surprised at all, in fact, there was a hint of a smile that graced her features a moment before it faded into her all-knowing expression of peacefulness. She bowed respectfully, signifying that she trusted Alasdair's ability to handle the fight and hold his own for she'd witnessed him in battle hundreds upon hundreds of years ago and from that many years she only forsaw improvement and perfection in his promising abilities. She would not interfere in Alasdair's fight for it was disrespectful and dishonourable to him. Having faith in him was the greatest thing she could do for him and her bow showed him that, it would bring him good fortune. She hadn't changed much over the centuries, she was still much the same, very traditional.
Of course, she considered playing a little dirty and grabbing the vampire's human and seeing how quickly her threat would bring the vampire to his knees but she would allow Alasdair his fight. It would be dishonourable to make such a cowardly move and would most certainly bring misfortune upon them and dampen Alasdair's chances of success on the battlefield. Perhaps she was highly superstitious but she'd survived by her codes and traditions this long and she was not about to change. Instead, she looked over to Shinigami and bowed to him respectfully, "Conbanwa, tomodachi."
Translation: Good evening, friend.

Veroen did not listen to alasdairs words. All he saw was that Alasdair was behind Meredith. This was a possible threat, and Veroen reacted quickly, but still with anger. As Alasdair reached his free hand forward, Veroen growled out a sentence, "This connection is not from you, it's from the Void user known as Kasuya Minitashi, who was assassinated 327 years ago, by ME!" He shouted these words, and the tattoo on his left shoulder, a mark left from Kasuya attempting to kill Veroen with the void, glowed with a deep dark hue, and Veroen once again, vanished from sight, and reappered in front of Alasdair, blocking his view of Meredith. As soon as he appeared, his left arm was already moving at great speed, towards Alasdairs other arm, to kock it away, and his right arm was also traveling towards alasdairs face again, this time, well coordinated, but still fueled by fury.

Shinigami watched in silence as the two Vampires fought, and examined the way alasdair traversed the Void, storing it in his mind for future reference. His concetration was broken when the female Vampire turned and bowed to him, speaking Japanese, saying Good Evening, friend. Shinigami had taken alot of Japanese souls to Hell long ago, and thats where he got his name from. The Japanese people in ancient times called the one to take their souls to the underworld, Shinigami. Thus, this is where Shinigami got his name from. Therefore, he understood Japanese well, though he chose not to speak it.
He looked at her curiously, and slightly bowed back, but said nothing. He looked at her very closely, surprised to see her being traditional towards him. He knew traditions well, for that was the time period when he took the most souls to Hell.

Of course Eden wasn't laid bare to Alasdair, she had her gun out and had exchanged her magazine of tranqs for a case of UV bullets that she would use on Al if something bad ended up resulting in this confrontation. Veroen wasn't listening to her, he was allowing his anger to boil over, which meant that he had to be horrifically upset for one thing and his training had all but gone down the drain in this moment. At least the calm, sophisicated portion of his training where he didn't allow his emotions to get the better of him. "Just calm down, Veroen! Seriously, he probably wants you to lose your cool and you're giving him exactly what he wants: an excuse."

Veroen stopped mid-punch, and his fist hovered in the air, inches from alasdairs face. His own face was overcome by conflict, and anger. He let out a strained growl, as he withdrew his fist, and quickly ended the fight before it even began.
He quickly turned around and put his arm around Meredith's waist, and gave Alasdair a dealy glare, and him and meredith disappeared in a matter of seconds.
((Sorry Absanthe, for the auto. lol))
(Exit: graveyard with Meredith)

Hideyo listened closely to Veroen's shouted claim and the name instantly punctured her like an arrow from so long ago. She'd known quite personally the Kasuya Minitashi he spoke of, the one who'd left their small mercenary band because of his love for a lycan. Of course, Hideyo hadn't been very impressed and lycans, for the most part, disgusted her and she would not be bothered with them but she'd respected the man's wishes and had left him be. The mercenary band had been forbidden from tracking him down and slaughtering him by her own order. He'd been a good man, one worth saving and one that'd more than deserved a life of happiness. She bowed her head and remained silent as she closed her eyes and brought her hand beside her cheek, a sign of prayer and reverence. "I knew that man, he was a geuninely decent man. That is a black mark you bear, it is your reminder that your debt has yet to be paid. Be careful for the otherworld has many ways for having one repay debts to them and it certainly never forgets. How tragic."
She smiled, though as Veroen backed off and decided to take his human away before something negative resulted of their conflict and she turned to Shinigami. The demon's silence did not offend her nor did his indifference or lack of care for anything but his feeble cause. What his cause was she had yet to discover but he was transparent enough she could glimpse the surface of such things and form an understanding. It was an ability she'd honed years ago and had chosen not to go further with it for knowing too much could also be one's downfall. However, when the demon bowed back to her she nodded her head to show she'd seen his small but meaningful act.

Shinigami heard the name of the one who Veroen obtained the makr from. He had been the one to take the man down to Hell himself. The man had been a very strong being, and it surprised him to hear that this one eyed Vampire had been the one to kill him. Hee barely chuckled as he shook his head at the words. Funny how such a small world it is. He glanced at Hideyo, and wondered why she was here. He could tell that she had only recently showed up, from the way the Void Vampire greeted her in surprise.

Much like Alasdair, when Hideyo was amused, her smile and grin never left her but at the moment she was indifferent and somewhat disheartened to hear what'd become of her comrade from long ago. He hadn't been with her band long but he'd been wise and much more honourable than many of the other mercenaries that'd consisted of their small pack. They'd made their way along centuries ago along the countrysides of Japan, occasionally looting a village and plundering what they could. For the most part they did not kill but merely plundered or they took up frightful tasks such as combatting the onis of the area that happened to be terrorizing the villages. It'd been fun and she'd learned a lot from the vampire and he from her, they'd combined their stories and experiences and had formed a fairly solid relationship for mercenaries.
Though she seemed lost in thought because of her silence and her brown eyes stared straight forward at nothing as opposed to directly at Shinigami, she was watching and could see him and a dazzling grin danced across her face. "If you have questions to ask they certainly won't be answered by keeping them to yourself, nemo-san"

Shinigami raised an eyebrow at her statement. He looked back at Alasdair, and then back to her. He said nothing but looked forward instead. He was deep in thought at the moment.

The lithe Japanese woman decided she would wander the park as opposed to stand there waiting for some demon to break free of his thoughts. She was free to do as she pleased and she chose to simply walk through the park and marvel at some of the beauty the people had chosen to leave here. At least they still possessed an eye for beauty but they certainly did not preserve it well. She noted, with inward scorn that did not show up to mar her indifferent expression, that battles had been fought here and trees were recklessly torn and battered. Horrible. No respect. Spirits of the trees would not be pleased at all, this she knew for a fact.
She'd absent-mindedly approached one tree in particular that had a nasty gash across it and laid her petite, manicured hand against it, caressing it softly. Her inspection was silent, she'd dropped the natural habit of breathing long ago and she was utterly still and silent, laying her ear against the tree as if she could hear something within it. This was quite true, in fact, the tree wept and told its own sad story of events that'd played out here. Events it'd watched and heard. "So tragic," she whispered eerily, her breath an elegant blast of white.
