Welcome to Gaia! ::

The foot stomp barely caught Klyde's attention as he leaned down, his teeth firmly clasping the side of Blade's neck and sinking in. The first taste of fresh blood and his mind went into a blur now on a course to a feeding frenzy. Gripping Blade more tightly Klyde began to drink from the inflicted wound rather greedily, teeth still partially in the flesh to keep the wound wide open. Tonight he wasn't going to be picky on his choice of a meal, blood was blood.

Instead of letting go Klyde did just the opposite and gripped a little more tightly, drinking the blood that was pouring through the wound at a faster rate. It felt like Blade was warming up but Klyde didn't seem to think that was much of a concern. He was far to busy quenching his thirst.

Klyde was none the wiser on what Blade had in store until it was nearly too late. Eyes flying wide when he sensed the incoming heat he released his hold letting out a yell as he drew back. While the combustion was quick and didn't do much to his clothing, his skin wasn't as flame retardant. His hands were alight with fire from where he had been holding onto Blade, the flames slowly moving up his arms. Shaking his jacket down quickly, he kept it over his hands to smoother out the flames. He hadn't realized Blade had a little trick like that up his sleeve....he would certainly be a little more careful from now on.

"You b*****d," Klyde drew his jacket away to have a look at his hands, the flesh charred and falling off in places. Even bits of sinew and bone were visible as he drew up his hand trying to move it. In time it would heal and it would appear as if nothing had happened, but it didn't keep Klyde from being utterly pissed. Turning his gaze back to Blade his eyes bright with rage, he tried to determine his best course of action. If he was close he risked getting burned again and at the moment his hands were of little use. He would need to catch Blade by surprise or knock him out.

With a returned growl Klyde backed off. He wasn't about to risk being set on fire again. As it was it would take a day for this to heal, maybe a little faster if he fed. He would definitely not being showing up for school tomorrow. "Trust me this isn't over." Throwing his jacket back over his hands he looked back at the sea of people passing by the alley as if nothing were going on. If he hadn't been as starved he might have tried to stay and make Blade pay for what he had done to his hands....but his strength was starting to wain as well. He would be better off finding some hapless victim to feed off of for the time being.

With one more glance in Blade's direction Klyde strolled out of the alley, the picture of normality as if nothing were wrong. He was nothing but an actor at this point, his face trained into something much more hollow to hide his anger and the pain he felt.

Coming out of one of the small cafe shops, Mitsu threw on her jacket against the cold. Not that she felt she needed it anymore, for some reason the cold didn't bother her as much as it used to....but she wanted to try and hide her embarrassing uniform as much as possible. She had tried her best to keep Desmond out of the loop that she had a part time job. It was hard for her to keep excepting his gifts and money all the time, it was weighing on her conscious so she wanted to earn money of her own. Sadly though the only job she had found so far involved a rather short dress and having her rear groped a couple times a week. Thankfully though the manager was nice and was quick to throw anyone out with a grabby touch.

As she walked into the street pulling her jacket around her tight she checked to make sure her tips were securely in her pocket. When she looked back up a familiar face came into view. It was one of the kids from her classes. "Oh, Hey....Blade." He looked like hell. "A..are you okay?" She rushed over to his side and reached out to touch his arm, it appeared there was blood on his neck.

"I uh..." Mitsu was suddenly embarrassed as she drew her hand back. "Y..yeah.....please don't say anything." She added the last part a bit hesitantly. She always changed before she got back to the dorm so as far as anyone knew she was at after school activities...which one some days was true...though they were more Suto's activities than her own. "Are you sure you're okay? What happened?"

"K...Klyde?" Mitsu's eyes widened a little. She hadn't know him to be particularly violent....but he hung out with Riyo more than anything. "Y...you don't look very fine." Mitsu followed up. He was pale, he had been bleeding or possibly still was....what else could be wrong. "M...may you should see a doctor?" She reached out again to take hold of his arm. "There's a medical center up the street."
