East smiled as he looked down into the opening. He lept down and flipped around, landing softly on his feet, aided by the wind. He looked around and pulled out an apple when he couldn't find her.
"Another day without pay, I suppose..." He sighed as he bit into his apple.
He then turned around out of the alley, his cloak trailing behind him.
"Seems that we'll be eating modestly again tonight..."

The shadows hissed and slid into other shadows before they were gone, but every light must cast a shadow and as the light grew larger so did Sasori's own shadow. She placed her hands together allowing the dead bodies to fall to the ground. She latched both hands to the black strings around her fingers and jerked it forward ripping her own shadow from the ground. Not because it was her own shadow it only grew with the light instead of shrinking away. It grew taller than she and her eyes began to glow a bit. Nagami stood her wood now patched up. She stood in front of Sasori and shook her head in a motherly fashion "look all better, nothing's wrong" she said softly. Sasori pulled back her monstrous shadow figure and attached it back to her feet where it belonged. She touched the wood and she couldn't see the blood in her mind anymore so she relaxed. She hugged her puppet "Nagami" she whispered then smiled and took control of her once more. She picked up the two fans she'd been fighting with and put them together. The fan glowed brightly as the two became one giant fan "Let us end this" Sasori said lifting her hands and crossing them so that Nagami would attack.

Bandi stared at the newly formed and risen shadow creature, clearly not have expecting this.
"Well, things are sure getting interesting..." He said, his usual smile returning to his face. He stood his ground once more and adjusted his staff's position, ready to throw a spell if necessary. However he noticed the puppet rising and the two engaging in an embrace.
It was an opening... He could have well striken at that moment... but something held him down, his feet pinned to the ground. Something about their hug evoked a painful emotion within him... something that made him lose his composure and ripped at his heart from deeply within.
This child... All she wanted, all she needed was...So why was she commiting these acts?
Questions swirled in his head, but he quickly shook it to clear it once more, squeezing the tear out of his eyes in the process.
Not now... Not here... Wait till this is all over. I'm almost there anyway...
"You want to finish it? Then let's make it quick! I have some one I need to visit before I die." He said, the cold calculating voice now hoarse with emotion.

"Of course" Sasori said softly as she took up a fighting stance and Nagami mirrored it. Sasori closed her eyes, no longer needing to see because Nagami was fighting, that and she could see threw the puppet's eyes. In sync they began to move, Sasori behind Nagami controlling her movements. They moved first back then forward making small movements before Sasori pulled out her two daggers. Her eyes still closed she smiled though it was only a ghost of a smile because it was gone faster than anyone could have noticed it. Nagami moved as her strings were pulled and she attacked the man. Only this time her attacks were faster and more aggressive than before. Like the first time she had been playing and now she had just gotten serious. She swung her fan blade down slicing threw air like it was nothing. She pulled back her free hand and a shadow began to form only this was different. It was the same as Shadow play but a different use of the shadows. It began to grow it’s aura filled with emotions such as anger and hatred but also fear and pain. Nagami pulled back not caring if her fan blade had hit him. Both arms raised above her head and she allowed the ball to grow while making sure to dodge. “And last” she whispered and the puppet began to cry. Tears fell from her eyes even though she wasn’t alive or a person for that matter “Sorrow” she whispered as the emotion flowed into the large shadow, energy ball like thing above her head and she threw it at him.

Bandi quickly brought Flamia above his head horizontally to perry the blades, although he felt his knees buckle because of the force. He then lurched the staff up to push the puppet away, but swung blindly at the air as she jumped away herself. However, he kept his trajectory and swung with the staff once on his spot. As he turned his face was filled with force and He yelled as he swung his staff, flinging a giant ball of flame in their direction. However this was dodged. To his dismay, he was unaware of the dark orb formed in her hand while he was turning and only noticed it as he was hit by it.
As his body flew back, his eyes went slightly blank as he seemed to lose focus and his thoughts were lost. There was something that tore at him from the inside and it wasn't the spell... It was his own memory.
Flashes of a women with a deep brown eyes and beautiful silky long black hair reaching down to her waist, a child, about five or six, in her embrace... The vision was followed by flashes of a shillouette of a man striking the women's face, and then one of the child sobbing wildly as the women was carried away from the castle on a carriage...out of his life...
He felt a sharp pain in his right hand and realized that he had slammed the ground with his fist, and found himself screaming.
He then looked up at the puppet and the girl. He couldn't fall now... If he did, he would never see her...
He closed his eyes and entered his own mind, pulling the drapes over the memories once again, although with difficulty. He then returned to the batle field. His legs were wobbly but he could stand.
"You'll pay for that..." He said in a dark voice, his eyes going silver and streaks of white spreading through his hair.
"You're not the only one that know to play with darkness." He said, his voice oddly more metalic than before. He then striked his staff on his shadow, which engulfed it and gave it a different appearance: A pitcheblack staff with bat-wing blades and smoke slithering from its base.
"Now let's see that pretty eye of yours..." He said as he locked his gaze into hers. Soon he was within a room full of dolls and puppets, the mood dark overall... He was in her mind...

A small girl sat surrounded by dolls. She was holding one and brushing it's hair humming softly to herself. This was her inner child, the person she locked away when she witnessed the slaughter of her family by the humans. To her right were carved dolls made of wood with strings attached but they were happy. To her left were the same thing only darker and contorted. She sat firmly in the middle surrounded by her dolls and puppets looking the same only different. She had expressions unlike her outer self. She looked up and hugged the small doll to her chest "you don't belong here." she said softly and looked around "If she finds out your here you'll be in big trouble." She bit her lip as she looked around frightened. "This is the one place she has complete control. The one place she holds in the palm of her hand. Go before you get hurt, I don't want to see any more blood" She slumped back down and continued to brush the doll's hair. Strong arms wrapped around the small girl and she looked up smiling at the taller puppets. They all were different and their faces disfigured, like she’d tried and failed to create the one person behind her who had no imperfections. It was Nagami only different. This one had a heartbeat and whispered softly words of kindness in her ear. It was the mental image of her mother she had created. “You’re not safe here sir. This child’s mind it’s unstable” The Nagami like woman said softly.

Kira had put up her hood now, and made her way down the back alleyways to a dark looking subtown. She looked behind her to see that she appeared to have lost the man, and the guards. She smirked to herself, before she began skipping down the slick pathway. There were shops all around. They all looked old, and rundown, and there were only a few people here.
As Kira made her way down a small stair case, she found a door. Opening it up, she found a small shop. The shop keep was a man in his late twenties with blonde hair, and a white shirt.
He turned and smiled as Kira entered. "Welcome back, Kira! What can I do for ya today?" He asked, his voice deep and welcoming.
Kira smiled back with a childish wave as she tossed the necklace in her jacket to the man. "I want to trade this for money, and then, I'd like to see if you have any good hair dyes today!"

Kaine walked among the shadows of the darkness of the forest alone. The rain was raining harder. How long has it been... 200 years? Why is he feels confused. Kaine remembers he was born into the family of a rich family. But he was different from everyone. He was a half elf. So that day he ran away from home even though Yunari was probably looking for him that time. But he met his fate when he bumped into a stray vampire. Only to be saved in time before his body could be turned completely. And that's how he was connected to Dark. Maybe if he died and returned as an undead, he'd know where to find Dark. Kaine shook his head and resumed his course to find other Elven descendants.

When Kashi woke her fire had died down to embers. Taking a stick she stirred them until they finally went out. The sun was beaming down on her and she smiled up at it, her lonely musings from the night before lost in the warmth on her face. Getting to her feet she shouldered her small pack and pushed her way through the bush back onto the road.

Bandi, or at least who was Bandi, ignored the woman's plea and walked to one side of the room, searching. There he found it. A book. The white haired youth smiled and pulled the volume up to him and swished his hand, producing a quill. He scribbled some words within the papers and also scribbled some words out.
He then returned the book back to it's position.
"Well that'll change her personality for a temporary moment..." he gloated and approached the little child.
"Now, child... Don't you want to come out? Don't you want to have fun out there in the real world? Then I'm gonna need your help. Just shake her will power from the inside a bit by instilling yours more strongly."
He instructed the child, hoping she was much more docile than her dominant side.

"I can not" She whispered softly. Sasori looked up at her puppet mother "If i go out there i will only see blood. IT will be just like them. Just like before" She turned and cowered in the inner Nagami's arms. The puppet stroked the young girls hair and sighed softly "you can't change that monster's personality because she doesn't have one. This girl here in my arms is all her emotions and everything that made her mostly human." she shushed the small child and soon Sasori calmed down and looked up at the man who didn't belong. Then everything went black and the little girl screamed "oh no. She knows you here! She's gonna punish me. Oh my god we're going to die again" she once more fell into a fit of tears and climbed back into the taller mother like figure's lap. Another figure appeared. IT was the exact same as the girl cowering only this one had no aura, had no emotion, had nothing but a void. She looked to the man and blinked "You do not belong here. You leave now before i rip you out and I’m sure you know that's not a pleasant feeling." She lifted her hand and the world around them turned red. "In here i control everything. Day can become night, weeks become years, a year can become a second. Leave now." A huge gust of wind shot towards the intruder but if one looked hard enough they could see a stray tear trying to force it's way down the demon's cheek but she would not let it fall.

Bandi brushed off her warning by staring at the newly appeared girl... The one he was fighting ourside.
"Well, it's not nice to imprison people in your psyche."
He then looked around with a bored expression.
"I'm not suere what's your problem, but we're going to have to fix that attitude of yours so you wouldn't hurt innocent people for no reason. Can't have people like that around, right?"
I'm talking tough, but I could feel the constraint upon my body within this space. It's pretty hard to find people with such control over their mind...

"Don't please. I don't want someone else to die. Not like them" The frightened and shorter girl said as she latched onto Sasori's arm. "Are you going to be like them? Why do you continue this? Mommy and daddy..."
"Are dead" Sasori finished for the girl "and someday you will be too alone with the rest of the human filth. If not for them then we would still have mum and dad wouldn't we?" Sasori asked the smaller version of her who then sank away, shrinking into one of the dolls herself and hiding among them. The Mother Nanami did the same, joining the puppets in the back. Sasori turned and fact the man in her mind. she lifted her hands and closed her eyes not needing to see. "Imprison? Oh no she stays here of her own free will." she whispered. As the winds inside her mind began to pick up lazed with something, un-definable. "I may not have power like this out side but here, here i have control of everything and you nothing. this is my realm." The dolls and puppets on the sides began to twitch and the shadows move as the scenery once again changed this time they were surrounded by a ring of unnatural fire.

She walked long into the dusk. She could see the lights of a village over the next hill or so, but she decided that she wanted to spend another night in camp before she went to another town. As she prepared to move off the road she heard a sound. Dropping to one knee she lay her hand on her sword.
