Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nyx chuckled into the phone as if this was a great game to be played. "Oh smiles, jumping to the end. I like that about you. You're very straight forward."

"There is a high rise building in between some hotels on Fourth Street and West High. Standford and Son is on the front. Meet me on the roof in twenty minutes. And try not to be late, the clock is ticking, Shun." It was the first time she had ever said his name and she said it with such venom as she shut the phone. The building she had mentioned wasn't far. It was well enough in range to see from where she was but far enough away that Shun couldn't just slip over here and release Mitsu.

Finishing her work up Nyx suspended Mitsu off one of the gargoyle waterspouts off the side of the ledge; several small ropes securing the girl into place. Each rope had its own small explosive which Nyx held the control for. It would be interesting to see Shun's reaction should she start blowing up Mitsu's life lines.

Cleaning up her mess Nyx headed over to the building that had been mentioned. Now it was time for the real game to begin.

"Seems like you took a bit of damage there, Smiles." Nyx said casually stepping out from behind the small room the lead to a staircase down into the building. "Don't tell me you made someone else angry?" Despite her words she was smiling.

It seemed Nyx was prepared for a fight, the clothes she had on were black and close fitting so she wouldn't get tangled up in loose folds. In her hands were a pair of khopesh that she looked more than ready to use.

"I'm so glad you could make it on short notice...I'm sure Mitsu will be glad as well."

Nyx's expression suddenly contorted into anger, Shun's words provoking her side of rage. "Like you're one to talk. I know you've taken out your fair share of people that had nothing to do with the job you were doing. They were just innocent bystanders." Nyx hissed, drawing up her weapons and circling around as Shun approached. "You struck down my sister when you were really after my father. She had nothing to do with his business and you took her from me!"

Well, at least the reason was finally out there, and Nyx looked all the more wild because of it. "So why don't you do the world a favor, Smiles...and just roll over and die." Nyx hissed before she lunged forward slicing at Shun's midsection and chest with each khopesh.

Bringing the khopeshs back around, Nyx flipped them so that Shun's blades would hit the back curves on the large knives. Jerking her own blades downward she tried to catch Shun's daggers with the hooked tips of her own and pull them from his grasp.

"That's an easy one, Shun." She hissed his name, those sharp teeth prominent in her smile. "You disappeared and you obviously have feelings for the girl. So the easiest way to get to you is through her."

Nyx stifled a noise as Shun landed a kick to her knee but was able to draw up her weapon to block his attack toward her wrist. Her knee buckled slightly from the pain but she hid it well as she lashed forward with her blades, doing a repeated stabbing motion toward Shun's middle.

"Who would have thought that a heartless soulless creature like you could manage to have feelings." Nyx continued. Apparently now that she wasn't trying to hide who she was she was going to talk like she often did. "You put her in danger the day you acknowledged her and you condemned her the moment you told her you loved her." That's right, Nyx had heard that rather awkward conversation. And while it hadn't gone in Shun's favor she knew he wouldn't just bury those feelings he had. Instead he just wallowed in misery which only proved to her how hung up he was on the wolf girl.

"It's only fitting that you watch her die like I had to watch my sister die."

High above the street, dangling from the waterspout, Mitsu started to stir. Wincing from pain as she came to, her blurry eyes tried to take in what was around her. She had the oddest sensation like she was hanging-

And that's when Mitsu's vision came into clarity, her eyes focusing on the traffic stories below her feet. At first she thought it was a dream, one of those horrible dreams that liked to haunt her about her fear....but there was pain. She usually didn't hurt while she slept so that meant this was very real.

As that realization sunk in Mitsu let out a scream, her body struggling in any way that it could to get back to some sort of safety. It was impossible though, she was bound tightly, her arms held behind her and there was no ledge or anything close by to retreat to. She was stuck.

None of her marks had actually hit making the shifter even angrier. She was about to transmute her weapons into something else when Shun suddenly took off toward the location she had Mitsu.

"Ah ah ah," She called reaching into her pocket. In a swift motion she pulled out what looked like nothing more than a little black box but as soon as she hit one of the buttons it proved that it wasn't.

"Shun?!" Mitsu yelled out trying to locate that familiar voice. It had been so long since she had heard it. Was it really him?

She was about to yell out again when a small beeping noise caught her attention. Eyes frantically searching for the source she looked up in time to see a little black box attached to one of the ropes suspending her blink one last time before it exploded severing the line.

Slightly blinded from the bright flash Mitsu let out another scream as she suddenly descended a couple of feet before coming to a stop, the three remaining ropes holding her in place. The bindings pulled tightly around her middle and the injure she currently had making a wave of pain pass through her body.

Nyx smiled rather pleased with herself as she put the little box back in her pocket. "Easier said than done." She mused.

Nyx barely had enough time to grab up her second khopesh before Shun attacked throwing out a blade in her direction. Pulling up one of her Egyptian short swords she deflected the knife, lunging forward to help Shun close the distance before she threw out an attack as well. Her first was a feint attack toward his right side aiming a straight jab with her sword at his shoulder. The other attack, the one she was more concern with hitting, was aimed toward his blind side, her khopesh striking out at his chest.

Tears had already started to gather in Mitsu's eyes, though they were a combination of being temporarily blinded, captured, and in a place she really didn't want to be. How was it she always ended up being used to hurt other people? She hadn't expected this at all, maybe she was just too naive.

Starting to struggle again desperately wanting to get to a more level place or at least to have a solid structure beneath her feet, Mitsu didn't even pay attention to the fact that the ropes that held her in place weren't large. They were thin cords not designed to hold much weight. It lucked out in her favor that she was so small but a lot of struggling wasn't going to help her cause.
