She tilted her head slightly to the side, watching him pull the gun on her. She shrugged innocently, putting her hands up in the air. "I'm innocent," she said with a smirk. She was use to getting the death threats from people, so she stayed cool and calm. She nodded to herself as he replaced the guns. "Nice guns, and I know these parts... There's not much out here, unless you go towards the Citadel, then something might come out to play.", she said to him, idly looking at the monster's head. She noted the blood on it's head was dry and caked, also that there was no body around. Her head was bent down, looking at the head some more, when she heard his name. Rose's head snapped upwords, her eyes narrowing slightly at the word, "You know him? He...he's still a live?". Her voice cared sadness, with a hint of curiousity and surprise that this man knew of him. A small gently tugged at her lips, until she heard the last bit of what he had to say about him. At first, she didn't quiet put the brother with Katsu, not remembering all of their past. "What beef do you have with Kasstsu?", after asking him that, she felt a gently bump against her leg. Sne kneeled down, gently petting Natio. "May we come closer to the fire?", Rose asked him, hopping Natio wouldn't scare him or anything, but looking at the monster's head on the ground, she doubted that.

'Do as you please, this fire is not meant to push anything away, just note to anyone or thing that there is someone here, so be causious."
Bale left his sword stuck in the things head and than sat back over at the tree. He thought about what the girl said, know him and such, he didn't know to worry or if to ask questions. She didn't fring on anger to him so he thought there is nothing to worry about.
"Alive, if you mean that b*****d Kassatsu, very much so. He slaughtered a village a few days travel from here. Everything was dead, engulfed in flames or sliced clean apart. As for the notion of brother or not, he mentioned a twin or something. A supposive brother, whatever he means.....I'll hunt him after I'm done with this job and Kassatsu. If i'm lucky there is a bounty on the other ones head and I can get paid for both."
Bale kept his right hand near his pistol, showing no sign of it being a threat, but on the of notion he would atleast be quicker than she would be if something were to stir.
"I do have one question, you knowing of those two names, you seem worried and caring to note them.....why? Whats your relation to those names?"

Rose slowly moved towards the fire, staring at the stranger, before sitting down and shrugging her own backpack off her shoulders. She patted her lap, allowing the large cat to lounge it's head there. Gently stroking Natio's head, she listened to him, talking about Kasstsu. "I'm sorry, there must be a mistake. The man I know, would never kill a village down and kill all of the people there. For you see, he is blind, and though he is able to do things on his own, he is not that powerful.", she said to him softly, thinking about her old friend. "Brother...wait...no, they weren't twins," she thought to herself, reaching up with her free hand to touch her necklace. "And plus, the man I was thinking of, has a brother, but they are not twins.", she said a bit more to herself then to him. She didn't think Kasstsu wouldn't be able to do that, but she had seen others before doing horrible things, because they could not control themselves.
((I know she said he was blind, but ic Rosie was never told about his eyes being fixed. @.@))

Bale listened to her words and as doing so looked over and tossed some stuff into the fire just to give it some glow to the place.
"Blind huh, well he could see me fine enough to dodge my attacks. Anycase, I dont know what relation he has to this Katsu person, but only that I best note that he is the cause of a fall of a village. I was there holding a child as it died in my hands speaking of a demon that cared not to everyones death. A demon that had a cane like sword and a black like serpent tattoo around his chest and back. I asked around and the only thing I found out was that a person by the name of Kassatsu matches those descriptions."
He than looked at the cat than back to her. He could see worry'ment in her and wondered why. He felt he should try and make her give out anything she might be hiding.
"My name is Bale Windgates, by the way and you are?"

She was absentmindly rubbing behind Naito's ears, as she made a low growling noise, but Rose knew it was her purring. She bent down, gently whispering something in her ear. Then he said another name, Katsu, "WHAT?!", she practiced shrieked as she jumped to her feet. "Nanashi Katsu!?", she asked him, her eyes wide in shock and surprise at the meation of her husband's name, and why did he think that he was in with that monster? Though when he started to describe his weapon, the blood slowly drained from her face. That was the weapon that Kasstsu had weilded before, she remembered that from when they had been staying together at the castle.
She slowly shook her head in shock, clutching at her locket. "H-how..how can this be?... What happened to him, to make him fall so far?", she asked the man infront of her. Natio had started to pace around in front of Rose by this time, unnevered by her master's sudden outbursts.

Bale watched her jump and thought of drawing his right gun to her, but thought differently when she said certain things.
"He is a monster and named that man as a so called brother, twin, whatever. Naming him like that gave me a bit of something to work with, and now hearing you say husband..."
Bale felt his hand hold the guns handle tight, firm, and ready.
"makes me even more curious to who you are."
Bale watched the panther carefully, thinking if he had to do anything to defend or attack, that cat would be first with his right then the left at her....but only if something was about to hit.

She eyed his hands, noticing how they moved towards his guns. "I don't want any trouble with you. I just want to know what you have against my husband... I haven't seen him in over five years now. As far as I know he's dead, last I heard, some demon lord had him. So what do you know?", Rose was starting to regain control over herself and started to wonder what there was about this guy. Kasstsu though...what was with him in all this. "From what I remember of Kasstsu though, it's been a few years, he wouldn't hurt anyone himself either. He only wanted to help people, maybe there's a copycat demon on the loose or something.", she said, knowing she probably sounded as if she was starting to ramble on.
Hearing his last sentance, she sighed quietly, "I'm sorry, I'm Nanashi Rose. You may know my father, Relinth Thares?" Typically if people did not know of the Nanashi clan name, they would know of Thares. He was one of the more powerful people around there, or he had been at one point, and as far as she knew, some people here knew of him at least.

Bale saw her emotions flick back and forth. He didn't know how to put it but he felt less threaten by her now.
"Your husband I have no clue about, though his name in a way does give the feeling he is some how related to the monster Kassatsu. Now as for him though, there is no mistake. Last I heard someone copied him, the copy was not even a being to look at, more like sliced meat."
Bale than moved his hands to his front and sat there.
"Kassatsu, as rumor has it, a person that has been around along time. I dont know how long but when he said over thousand years....well I get the feeling, now i dont know about your husband being that old so maybe there is no sign of relation in there actually, which sweety that should be fine. I haven't heard myself talk like this in ages. As for your father, nope, never heard of him. I'm from a far place and raised by just my father till my so called mother showed up. Than stayed with her for years learning about who, what, and more of myself."
Bale kicked at the monsters head infront of him. Than sighed.
"I guess, there were some stories of Kassatsu being some sort of a demon slayer and such but, I believed it to be rumors. The rumors were from way way back when he was part of some sorta big thing and took part as some sorta of guardian or what not. But from the things now adays, more of a rumor than truth. If anything I'm waiting for someone to see him do another act and put a bounty on him, that way I can fully hunt this danmed of a demon, or whatever he is and make him suffer.....than die."
He looks up at the young lady Rose.
"And honestly, I pray your husband is either dead sweety, or not related to him, because I plan to kill Kassatsu and any relations to him."

A copy that looked like sliced meat, that's a weird one...sounded more like someone didn't know what they were doing and tried to clone him. She htought to herself, before noticing his hands moved from his guns. Slowly sitting back down once again, she sat up straight and alert. Naito though was still pacing, watching the man and that around them both. "A thousand years...", she murmured to herself, maybe they were somehow brothers, she mused to herself. Hearing him say, he doubted her husband was that old, she smirked once again and chuckled. "You'd be surprised, angels do live a long time...", she said to him, turning her head to look at the fire.
She eye twitched slightly at being called 'sweety', it reminded her of when she was about ten years old, she shook it off though, she prefered it over 'dear', as Rel use to call her.
"Do you mean the Chozen of Azreal?", she asked him, turning her head to look back at him once again. She nodded lightly, "He was part of the Chozen, with me. That's why I don't think any of this makes to much sense to me right now...." She shook he rhead ligthly, turning to stare at him, "Why would you kill those that are innocent and had nothing to do with the so called murders? As far as we know, they didn't happen by his hands." As she shook, the fire in her eyes, started to flicker up.

Angel!?
He was very shocked by that one, how was Kassatsu part........you curse Angels as well as demons.....
I cant believe that a person like Kassatsu could even be considered an Angel, but.....this would seem to fit him perfectly with what he said.
Bale stood up and leaned against the tree he was next to. He had his arms to his side and kept them like that.
"Innocent? Tell that to the ones slain by his hands, there is no mistake that a person like him would not have a kind family. He himself called himself a demon, and said how he shook the devils hand himself, in that sence there is no means to an innocent family of his. They sound more like demons of people nightmares. I plan to fix this, one way or another."
He than felt like he should just shut up and contain his anger now, he felt his dark side slowly slither its way out a bit. Than he listened to her talk about the rumor of the "Chozen", he heard stories of these beings and there deeds. He wondered how such people like Kassatsu be excepted to that place. Was he wrong to point so fast to Kassatsu, was there another person with the same style as Kassatsu? He didn't want to think he was wrong, far from it, his mother taut him never to trust humans or anything alike, that demons are all tricked and tricking. Though he planned to never be both. Bale, you may be a b*****d of a son but you are my b*****d and you will damn well listen. I do not care to ever giving birth to you but you must understand you will live a hurt and pathetic life where you will do things people hate and other things evil loves. And when that happens you will know your sides lay with demons kinds. Dont forget this, your blood runs my own with your filthy human fathers blood, blood of noble demons. Demons are tricked or tricking everything, so understand you will live this way.
"I wont be tricked or trick."
Bale than shook his head a bit and noticed the young ladies eyes glaring at the fire a bit.
"Look to long as you'll see your soul burned for it they say."
Bale than looked at it himself for awhile...
"so why not have mine already."
Bale thought about his mother, he did feel anger for her but also warmth, he never had a real mother and knowing she was still alive and around made him feel happy. He wanted to do the right things no matter how much his mother was against it. He wanted to rid the world of demons that would kill and harm innocent people. No matter what the power was of that demon.

She shook her head silently, he was right in a way, the one that did those horrible things should be punished, but she stilll didn't think it was Kassatsu. "Oh, really? What do you think I am? Some call my race demons, others call them oni, but do you see me out there killing people? Just beacuse you may be a demon, doesn't mean you are evil. Just because Kassastsu and Katsu maybe brothers, doesn't mean that if one is evil, then the other is, too. Techinally I'm his family, do you plan to slay me, here where I stand? Kill some innocent woman, that is unarmed and couldn't possibly bring you harm or trouble?", Rose tried to keep her voice calm, but at points her anger was notable. She sighed quietly, clunching her fists as he tail lashed about behind her. It wasn't fair for people to judge one by one's family. If one was to dig about in her family, Relinth wasn't a very kind man to some, and he did bring about Aatrasis. One of the most powerful demon lords around Gaia.
Hearing his next comment, she shook her head slightly, blinking then turning her head to him. "Why would you care?", she asked him, before picking up a small twig and throwing it in the fire. Her eat ears laid back slightly against her head, growling slightly at him under her breath.

He listened to hear and in a way thought maybe she was a threat. But he didn't care, he had his heart set on getting revenge for those people back at that village and finding answer to what and who Kassatsu knew. For all he knew he was being set into a trap.
"You can say all you want, me careing is nothing personal, just a way of trying to let myself cool down as well. I rather not kill anything, but those people would have wanted me to slay him. As for your husband, I do not know and could care less, but the first sign I see of him siding with Kassatsu, than I will give him the same killing intent i serve Kassatsu at this moment."
Bale's voice became normal in a way, stern calm, uncaring. He felt his normal side come back after that fight. He lost control of himself when fighting Kassatsu and noticed it now.
"If you feel like there is something I should not do, than by all means, make me an offer to listen. I do as i'm paid, thats how i make ends meet. If i find the reason and price near equal to that of the mission or request, than i consider it and complete it."
Bale didn't know how to put it but he wanted to try and find a reason to find this Katsu as well and possibly get answers from him. Maybe if Katsu wasn't evil, he could help find his brother Kassatsu instead and help defeat him.

She shook her head lightly, about to give up on even trying to get through his thick head. He seemed much like her own father, to stubborn and set in his ways to listen or care to chance his mind. "Think what you want," she murmured softly to him. Though hearing, him saying he might change his mind with some money, she frowned, looking at Naito. She sighed quietly, looking at her friend, "I already have someone that's trying to find my husband now, though if you would back off of Kassatsu long enough for me to talk to him, and attempt to find some answers...." She slowly stood up, moving to where she had placed her bag, squatting down beside it, she carefully pulled out some of her things. She grabbed a small bag that was buried deep in her bag. She gently pulled the drawstrings open, and looked inside. She nodded to herself, then tighted it shut once again. "Here," she said to him, as she through the bag to him. "Is that enough for you?" She was hoping the money would account to close to half what hte bounty would be on Kassatsu's head. Relinth had money, and Rosie knew where to get it form and how to get it.

Bale catched the bag in mid air and held it for a second. He oddly looked at it than tossed it up and down a bit than grasped it tightly. He shook his head with a small laugh.
"Strange, i never had such emotions since kassatsu showed up in my world, now all these new key figures are showing up left and right....Chozen, Angels, impossible acts....its almost like a fairy tale of someones mind."
Bale tossed the bag back over.
"Sorry no deal, this time the deal changed."
Bale stood up and grabbed the monsters head and tossed it by his stuff and stretched. He than turned and walked over to the young lady. This is the first time being close to her and he got a good look of her, than the panther.
"Here's the deal sweaty give me one good reason to hold off the hunt for Kassatsu. One great reason, one that is worth his very life that you seem to hold dear, and I'll wait till your husband is found. But in doing so, you have to keep me informed some how of your acts with knowing of both Kassatsu, and your husband....other wise I will give up the deal and go after one or the other for my answers."
Bale stood there, his face still well hidden under his clotheing, exsept his eyes of course. He stood there with his arms at his side, not worried of even drawing a single action to defend or act appon attacking. He always took any job that was good enough to pay him the exact amount for the worth of it. The money Rose tossed him was no where near what he felt was Kassatsu's worth, though any reason off pay to get him would be what he felt would be right. But for her reason of not, he felt something almost different, truth in a sence. He wanted actually to see this the real Kassatsu before decideing if what is what and who is who. He wont forget though of those people that were killed though, never.

Renku sneered at the message sent back towards Kuro, who still hang limply over his shoulder. Her eyes flared lightly, then dimmed again, he glanced at her and dug his claws into her waist, growing tiresome of her attempts to reach out, her attempts to escaped him. She cried out, somehow conscious of the pain, the sensation reached through her whispered messages.
