"Your words do not fall on deaf ears." He said simply. Smiling a bit to himself and walking towards her, his shadow no encompassing her.
"Though it seems i have troubled you past friendly limits. Goodbye dear. mayhaps I shall see you at the coven, or perhaps not. " He said, turnign around and walkign over the grass noislessly, his metal healed cowboy style boots makign no sound on the thick grass.
'so armand... will she persue you?... will she start asking questions..?' he thought to himself unentertained.

The cold feeling of night was all around, but Kalan had her own aura. One of light heat, like a summer breeze from her island home. Kalan finally lifted her eyes again, meeting the stranger's. For a second perhaps, they made eye contact, and she could see clearly what his face held. Her eyes followed him as he turned. How odd, she thought, that he would mention the New York coven, much less her presence there. The young huntress originally had no intention of walking into such a situation. She had hoped to find her brother and return to Ireland as quickly as possible, without getting noticed by any leaders of any supernatural sects. Surely this would be a bad thing. She had been kidnapped numerous times as a child for some reason beyond her understanding, involving her and her brother's strange abilities. This run in with the vampire elder seemed to set her idea off kilter. Just what was he planning?
She watch silently as he walked. It was a little strange, that his steps no longer made the sound of clashing metals. Recalling the music once again that had played through her mind, she remembered the lullaby handed down through her family. The young girl tilted her head to one side, and whispered a farewell. "Adios senor melodia oscura." It seemed strange. The words flowed easier than they should have. Almost naturally. She realized that she was picking up his abilities and quickly shut off the copycat power.
She then turned her eyes back up to the moon. It was almost full. Softly, and slowly, Kalan began humming the lullaby her own mother had sang for her. The ancient and eerie melody flowed into the night air, and Kalan smiled, wishing that with her music, she could reach out and touch that silver moon so far away.

The long haired nobleman lifted his head his entire being simply faded silently from existence.
"Good night to you... hunter." came a whisper on the wind, followed by a throaty chuckle.

immediately after Armand had left, a shadow from a tree, became slightly darker than that of a normal shadow. Wind started to pick up, and the moon's light slowly dimmed.
The shadow from the tree began to move across the ground, detaching itself from the base of the tree.
The shadow stopped about 6 feet from Kalan, and actually lifted off of the ground, forming into the shape of a small sphere. Then the sphere suddenly erupted into a cloud of shadow, and the shape of Shinigami formed from the shadow. Shinigami now stood in Central Park, eyes glued on Kalan. The cloud of shadow slowly dissipated into the air, leaving only Shinigami standing there.
His appearance was oddly hidden by a large trench coat that covered almost all of his body, everything below his eyes, for the trench coat was buttoned up all the way, as well as the collar.
He said not a word, just a blank expression on his face as he stared at Kalan with a hint of curiosity.

Kalan stared at the moon thinking of his parting words. How had he known? Certainly the man was an odd one. Suddenly a demonic aura approached her. She could feel the pressure even before the shadows came. The girl backed until she was against the cold metal of a lamp's pole. Suddenly a demon boy stood before her, hidden by a trench coat. Kalan had let her guard down for a second and something weird had happened. How typical.
The cross necklace containing a vial a holy water lay hidden under her shirt, out of reach with her hands down, and her seals were also placed inconveniently at her lower back. All that she could use without immediate detection were the blades on her person. Her right hand was motionless, as she watched his face. She could easily reach the blessed knife at her hip. It seemed odd however that he made no move towards her. The vampire had just revealed her to be a hunter, and she specialized in demons. Her unclouded eyes could see a glow behind him, a hint of something masked. 'What's that?..' She focused just beyond his back. Staring at something one was not sure was real turned out to be fairly difficult. She used her second sight as best she could to tell what the strange shape was. And after a time the image formed to make dark wings. She quickly released the image again, as her eyes hurt from straining them.
The back of her neck felt as if it were on fire under his gaze, and she could almost feel the darkness seeping into her. Kalan wanted to raise a barrier around herself, to protect from the demon, but she knew it would only shut off her abilities as well and in the end, make her more vulnerable. So she matched his gaze with her crystal blue eyes, piercing through the shadows and sending them scattering about her. He didn't seem violent, but most creatures didn't at first. And Kalan knew enough about demons to understand that one who approaches should not be taken lightly. "Yes?" She said calmly, her voice still holing the hint of an Irish accent. "Did you want something?"

Shinigami was by no means, a boy. He stood at 6'5", but his build was hidden underneath his large trench coat, along with the rest of his appearance. His eyes glowed a deep, menacing red, instantly giving away his race as a demon of Hell. He slightly tilted his head at her words, still with a blank expression on his face.
After a few moments, he took a few steps towards her, until he stood but 3 feet away from the girl.
He titled his head back straight, and held out his right hand, as if to offer a hand shake.
He made not a sound, save for a small whisper.
"Shinigami..." he whispered his name, in a deep, inhuman voice. This was his way of introducing himself.
It was unclear what his intentions were.

Kalan stared uneasily at his hand. She knew his kind well, and though she was very trusting, knew not to touch him. Instead she looked back to his face, keeping both hands to her sides. He was taller than her. By a fair amount. And the heavy feeling of uneasiness about him set her senses a little off. He was shrouded in energy, and her's seemed to clash with his instead of merely absorbing it. The sensation was strange. She didn't like the mounting warning signs, but couldn't simply ignore him. So she nodded. "Kalan."
The girl slid to her right, side stepping him and moving farther away into the street lights. She didn't like him being so close to her. It blocked possible routes and made it hard not to pull in his aura. Kalan let her energy flow freely for a moment, cleaning the air around her of its heavy demonic weight and repelling it. She could still feel his gaze on her, even though she could breath again. She lifted her eyes to him, now further away. "Can you speak the language of this realm? If so, tell me, why have you appeared here?"

Shinigami kept his hand held out in his friendly gesture, even after she spoke her name a stepped away from him, and further into the street lights. It was clear that his shadowy aura was beginning to affect her. He also noticed her trying to repel his aura.
He simply closed his eyes, and stayed turned in the same direction he was before she slid to the side, and further into the lights.
Once she asked her question, he was silent for a moment. Shadow began to leak off of him, a little more thick than it had been.
Then, within the blink of an eye, he dissipated into shadow, and reappeared behind the girl, with his hands on her shoulders, and his head slightly next to hers.
Then, with an inhuman whisper, almost like a hiss, he spoke to her again.
"I'm just getting to know the inhabitants of this city. Why are you here, Kalan?' a grin crept on his face, a devious one at that.

Kelene walks into the park and finds a bench to sit on. She sighs, still upset from the battle and from not finding the answer to the question that has been gnawing at her brain for weeks.

Kalan could feel the cold sink into her arms and flinched at his words. She quickly swung her right arm up turning around, and broke his hold on her. She then slid back away from him holding her left shoulder. The sinking feeling quickly left as she purified herself again. "Damn.." The swear was mumbled under her breath "You're fast." If it hadn't been for the marking on her shoulder, he might have gotten to her. She walked back a few steps and repelled the dark energies around her easily. He was strong, but Kalan could feel Asher's presence nearby, and could afford to waste some energy on him.
"I'm here to fetch a missing person." She said, her eyes glinting a bright sheen. He had triggered a defensive power, and now she could barely contain the urge to absorb his energy. She knew that doing so would give her his strengths, but she never wanted something like him inside her again. Her arms felt light from being shocked with so much of her own power. Call it paranoia but Kalan was going to be sure he left nothing in her. "You could have hurt me you know." She said keeping eye contact. "Or was that your intention?" The girl poured out her energies, making a circle barrier around herself.

Kelene watched without much interest at the fight going on not far from where she was standing.

[[This is not a fight. For now.]]
Shinigami's eyes flashed with the deepest shadows of hell. He had gotten to touch her.... This was Shinigami's way of reading ones true identity, their soul.... It was like a police officer looking at your cars license plate, to see who actually drove it. In this case, her body was the car, and now he knew her soul, the driver.
His eyes slightly narrowed.
He whispered again, like a snake pouring its venom into her ears.
"Paranoia leads to many deeper, darker, emotions..."
A demonic smile crept on his face, noticing her put up a barrier.
"You're afraid..." he whispered again. His demonic smile grew.
"And you should be."
With those words he lifted up one of his hands, and snapped his fingers, the sound ringing through the park. As soon as he snapped his fingers, he instantly dissipated into a cloud of smoke, leaving no trace of him ever being there.

She was still not interested. What she was interested in was a damn local vampire there. She needed to ask her/him the stupid question. She screamed in frustration and blushed with embarassment when a few humans looked at her, confused. She sighed again.

((Alrighty then.)) As soon as he was gone, Kalan pulled down one side of her shirt, barely revealing her left shoulder. The ward burned faintly, glowing a vicious dark color. Luckily it had blocked him out, absorbing the attempt, but the marks felt like fire. She winced. He had tried to probe her soul, and this was the result. He got a fake sense of security, and she was left untroubled but for the toll the ward took on her body. Her cheeks became flushed as she pulled her sleeve back up to cover her pale skin. The fever of the night before had returned, and she felt dizzy. It hadn't been a good idea to stay. "I should have just run." She sighed. "Damn.. Now it knows my name."
A swift breeze rustled the tree tops as Asher landed with easy at Kalan's side. "I sensed a demon Miss Kalan, are injured?" He said looking her over anxiously.
"No, I'm okay. The seal worked." It burned faintly at her shoulder as the girl turned to face him. "He's gone now."
"It tried to read your soul?" Confusion flashed across the man's face momentarily, but vanished just as fast. "Why didn't you summon me? I could have killed it for you."
The girl looked away, "I used my own energy instead. I didn't want to bother you. You were so close anyway." She mumbled.
"And yet you're covered in blood." He said looking to her right arm. The dark stain had seeped through most of the sleeve, leaving a rather large and obvious mark. Asher reached out and touched the ripped cloth at her shoulder. "Did you get into a fight? I cant smell anything but that demon's rot on you.."
She grinned. "Nope! I got attacked by a bush! It viciously ripped through my sleeve and scratched my arm!" Kalan smiled, letting him know that she was alright.
Asher only sighed. "And your long coat?"
She smiled again. "Funny story about that. I lent it to a bleeding wolf. But she was really nice!" The girl attempted to comfort Asher as a look of horror sunk in on his face. He was furious. She knew this would happen.
"I truly cant leave you alone can I?" He pulled her hand into his and marched her towards the park's entrance. "We're going home. NOW. Before some other moronic monster decides it wants a piece of you."
"What? But I still need to meet the New York section's lead hunter! We cant go now!" She complained.
His grip only grew firmer. "You told me not to treat you as my master while here. So you're going to listen to me now. We're going home."
Kalan sighed. She knew it was only for her own good and finally consented, leaving the park for their apartment.((Exit to: Apartments))
