Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ohh, was there a hint of worry in her voice? Ohh, the draw backs of having someone to care for. Although the pros were amazing, truely.. There were still very few, nagging cons. He would wipe that over confident smirk from his face, replacing those twisted lips with that of a warm, reassuring smile. "It'll be okay Ky-chan. I'll be able to take on any silly beast, and Duellist will be giving me some of the treasure." He would state. And damn straight! Duellist better be sharing half of it, if not more.. Because damnit, Hakan just knew that he would be doing most of the work.

The thought was tossed around in his head for a little while. One of his favorite jutsu would be in order, fire based. But up against that chimera.. He was pretty sure only physichal blows would do the trick. ][I'll be stealing a dandy little trick from Naruto. ninja ][

Rubbing his chin, he would begin to move his hands through various hand seals at first. Obviously, this was somthing that he had not once done in his life time. "Come now, Duellist. I don't fear jack." Not even Duellist himself, but Hakan felt that was unnessicary.

If all went well, he would be able to clear away the minor beasts with ease, and slay the chimera with a trick he'd put into works recently, it was with the help of the other spirit that he would be able to successfully do this. "Lead the way." He would state in a bored tone.

"But of course, Monsieur Hakan... you are truly blessed... and..." The vampiric assassin turned, suddenly, and fixed Mimi with a steely stare. "Excuse me, Miss Kusanagi... I'm sure I misheard you, but let me check. You just said you were going to be staying in this hotel, Right? You were most definitely not coming with us, of course... His hypnosis powers working to full effect, he sought out her eyes and held them with his gaze.

-For a moment she budged, her mind screaming to ignore his tones. A dazed look seemed to cross her face and the young girl no longer seemed to be herself. She'd become a puppet, almost.

Ah, but she was a stubborn little creature, one had to give her that! Just when her mouth was about to agree (her head already was), something else pulled her back, the placid, marble-like features shifting dramatically.

She shut her eyes ,silver locks caressing her face as she shook her head. No, she was not going to give in! Upon opening her eyes, Mimi shot the vampire a glare stern enough to stop prey in their tracks. Her father always said she had potential.- I said if he goes that I would go and nothing is going to change that.

-The girl took a step back, taking in a deep breath. Perhaps it was about time that she accepted part of who she was. She'd have to someday... to stand up to Daisuke.- Besides, there are things that only a Bagheera can do that may come in handy...

Duellist hissed, almost like an angry snake. Then he softly said, "You will touch nothing. You will obey any order I give. And under no circumstances will you leave my sight. Taryn would never forgive me, and I would never forgive myself, if something happened to you. Understood?" The vampire sighed, shaking his head. Then he snapped back to attention. "Good. In that case... let us leave this place..."

The world around the three shifted, and the universe shrieked its protest.

They were in Duellist's laboratory. Strange liquids bubbled in pots, and various small creatures frolicked in cages on the wall. The vampire gestured to the opposite wall, though. There, a large hole almost pulled at the air around it, opening into an inky black void. "I assume you both have infravision?"

-The girl smirked, the same steely glint that had taken over back there present in her eye, if not dulled considerably. That back there had been a small victory, but one that spoke volumes. It only reassured her that if she put her mind to it she'd be able to show those she needed a thing or two about who she was... and maybe, just maybe, they'd leave her alone and in peace.

Upon hearing the vampire's words, Mimi canted her head in agreement. Fine, fine, she'd agree to the rules as long as it was necessary. If she had to break them, then fine, she'd do that too. As to where both men were coming from, she definately understood-- she just hoped they comprehended her position.

Orbs abandoned the vamipre's figure at last, allowing those pupils to adjust to the lack of light. Her night vision was beyond great and the fine tuned senses of a cat even better. A wave of fear commenced to wash over her figure, something she most definately held back in the end.

Dammit, not now, not here. And so, she gritted her teeth, both as a sign of determination and in preparation for the pain that was to come. Having to change consciously and without the adrenaline was going to be difficult-- especially for Mimi. She'd just have to deal with it.- mhmm

As a demon, Hakan should have been able to see considerably well within the darkness, however.. Hakan instead tied a blind fold he withdrew from his pocket around his eyes. He wasn't trying to be some macho martial artist, it was simply a habit from previous training.

Sure, he could see, but this certain habit told him to rely on his ears rather than his sight. He would simply growl at the comment Duellist made, but Duellist wouldn't be laughing later on! Oh, no.. It would hurt like a son of a b***h, but Hakan would have, in his mind, the most beautiful weapon known to Gaia and the worlds beyond!

And so, he would wait for Mimi, beginning on another set of hand seals, before walking along, keeping his concentration set on his ears instead of his blurring hands. Beasts would attack sooner or later!
