Xoey snarled and brought her free hand down to where his thighs met. Hard. She pushed away and pulled her dagger in front of her body. "I'm so much more." she responded simply, calmly. She dropped onto her free hand, scrunching into a fetal position as she did so. With all of her weight on her right hand she kicked both legs straight out, connecting with his shins. Her akward position caused her hand to give out, and she quickly kicked up onto her feet again.

Atticus grunted and held his breath when her fist met his jewls. His eyes watered a little and he grasped his boys to stop the pain. Then she kicked him in the shins, knocking him, and he fell backwards, hitting the ground back first.
"Now THAT was a cheap shot!" Atticus said as he recovered quickly and jumped up onto his feet. "But I was taught never to hit a girl...I'm sorry." he said as he shrugged, basically leaving himself open for another shot.

Xoey gave him her best I-Don't-Play-Nice look as she brought her foot up to slam against his chin. "Too bad I never learned the same lesson," she snapped back as she stepped back a step, away from the demon hunter. He didn't seem to be putting up much of a fight. She was used to a more kill you kill me approach to fighting.

Atticus moved his face to the side to avoid the kick, and she barely missed.
"Ouch. Harsh." Atticus said sarcastically as he heard something from behind. He dared to take his eyes off of the girl and turn and look behind him. He didn't see anything behind him, but when he looked back at the girl, he saw something behind her.
"Lookout!" he shouted as he quickly drew his sword and threw it toward her direction. It soared over her head and embedded itself into the demon's eye behind her. It let out a loud screeching noise mixed with a roar as it fell on the ground, dead.
That's when Atticus heard more similar noises coming from all around, but distantly in that direction.
"You with me or against me?" he asked as he walked over, grabbed his sword and looked around for the source.

Xoey ducked as the sword came at her and followed it with her eyes. A demon? She had been so caught up in the fight she hadn't noticed it. There were others approaching. They weren't being very inconspicuous about it. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the noises. Seven or eight of them. "We'll pick it up later," she said coldly. Without hesitating she threw the dagger in front of her, landing in the neck of a large, greenish, sticky demon. It let out a bizzarre, piercing cry as it choked on its own blood. The slayer put her back to Atticus' with enough space between to pull back an arrow and drew her bow, doing just that. "Friends of yours?"

"Nahh. They're my **father's, brother's, sister's cousin's former roomate." Atticus smirked as he eyed one of the demons ahead of him who looked to want to charge, but was very hesitant. "...Which makes us absolutely...not related..." he added as he watched the demon decide to charge and come right at him.
"Bad move, pal..." Atticus mentioned as he swung his sword at the demon, chopping off its head. The body fell limply to the ground. "...don't lose your head..." he mentioned as he turned to fight another oncoming demon who also had a sword raised, ready to attack.
Atticus blocked a blow meant for his head, and then forced the sword away, making room to swing his own sword at the stomach of the demon. The demon blocked it, giving a sly, toothy smile at Atticus, showing a row of top and bottom sharp teeth. Atticus smirked, drawing one of the arrow's from the girl's quiver behind him and stabbing the demon in the chest, all in the blink of an eye.
The demon squealed, and fell on the ground twitching. ((Sidebar from Agethia: **is a quote from Spaceballs! I can't take credit for it. xD))

Xoey shook her head a little and let three more arrows fly, in succession, as the demons came to view. First demon got a lovely surprise in his eye, the second in its gut, the third through the throat, the same fate as the first. They all fell down. She shrugged, throwing up her arms a little. "Why be flashy when you can finish in time for drinks." The slayer sighed and grabbed the demon hunters shoulder, pushing him around to face her. "We're going to go get something to eat and you're going to tell me what you are." she stated, not asking. She picked his sword up off the ground and flung it at him, making her way to the street.

Atticus had just finished off killing the last demon, when he felt his body get jerked around only to meet...the girl's face. He jumped back in surprise, but then regained his composure. It was at this time he noticed the scar on her eye, but he didn't make it obvious, and he didn't ask her about it.
"Why should I tell you anything?" he asked as he pulled his arm away angrily. "It is not relevant. There is no reason for me to tell you."

"Sure there is," she said simply. "I'll kill you if you don't." She continued to walk away. She doubted he wouldn't come, he looked like he needed a hot meal anyways. And if he didn't? She'd stop putting off his death. "Besides which, I'm paying." She extracted the diamond from her pocket. It was certainly an interesting night so far. The kind of interesting night that made her want to get very very drunk. In her mind she ran through places that wouldn't card her, and settled on a nearby pizzeria. She stopped walking and turned to face her hostage. "Are you coming, or am I going to have to find out what color your blood is and go from there?"

Food did sound a bit promising at this point. He didn't get any food back at the mansion...and his stomach was begging him to be fed. He sighed, giving in for the sake of food.
"You've already seen the color of my blood..." Atticus mentioned with a grin as he sheathed his sword and covered it with his long coat. He walked up next to the girl and followed her to the place she wanted to eat.
"The name's Atticus...and you are?"

Faith's words sound far away, mountains away from where she lies. Faith? Kennedy ponders as to what might have happened to Willow.
She's still mad at me, Kennedy thought.
Even so, Kennedy tries to wake up; however, her eyes feel too heavy to move...as the rest of her body does.

"Xoey. My friends call me Xoxo." She gave him a funny look. "That doesn't mean you, if you were wondering." She put her bow on her waist as they reached the place, not bothering to cover it up. It was a sort of hole-in-the-wall business, they didn't question weapons, as long as no one was disturbed. She sat down in a booth. "So, Atticus," she started, "if you're human, what are you doing wandering around graveyards with a sword?"

"You have friends?" Atticus mentioned as he followed her into the building and sat down in front of her.
"The same reason you were walking around in the same graveyard with a bow." He responded to her question while motioning for the waiter to bring him a drink.

He felt awkward just standing there.
"I'm just gonna go upstairs and, uh, find one."
Oz quickly turns around and rushes up the stairs. Too weird. Not something he needed to deal with right now. Oz goes knocking on people's doors, asking anyone that answerrs if there's a computer with an internet connection in the mansion.

In response to the friends comment, Xoey slapped the back of his head. "I'm not just human, I'm a Slayer. Besides, I don't "walk around." I patrol. I kill things like you." She ordered a Fat Tire and a slice of cheese pizza each.
