Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kivuli waited for the strange nightmare neko she had met last night. Her ears swiveled around picking up any noises she watched the ground below her, hoping he would show up soon. She hadn’t bothered to leave the tree she caught her meal in, it was drier then the ground thanks to its leaves and the other branches. She closed her eyes for a bit listening to the drops of water falling onto and off of the leaves. The birds she caught would do nicely in keeping her from getting hungry during their break in.

She grinned spotting him, standing up she beat her wings a few times before descending quietly to the ground. “Good evening Akumu, Are you Ready to go?" She called to him as he moved closer to him. She was excited he had shown up after all and for what they were planning. “Have you eaten yet?”

Kivuli smiled inwardly her out ward expression stayed in a seemingly neutral position. "You're welcome, I'm pleased you didn’t decide to call if off randomly.”

She felt the moist ground soaking into her paw pads and the fur that grew near them. She shifted slightly, nodding to him. “That’s good, don’t want our stomachs to give us away now do we?” She moved so that she was standing next to him. “Yes, lead on to the house of the foolish man who will soon face your nightmares.”

Kivuli followed him to the village listening to him as he spoke. "Bitter old man huh?" It didn't matter to her his age, one should be cruel and not expect cruelty and revenge in turn, and she would enjoy it.

She looked out over the town her gaze moving over it slowly, she didn't venture out of the forest much. Watching Akumu point out the house she frowned a little at his words. "I should be able to but it would probably be safer to meet there." She stared at her destination, if she were better at manipulating darkness other than what clung to her she might have been able to use it to hide her wings and look like a normal cat, no matter she’d have to fly to get to the open windows anyway. "How long will it take you to get there?"

Kivuli listened to the plain intently before lunching off with a sing beat of her powerful wings, she flew a bit slower than she usually would to keep an eye on Akumu as she flew high above the town, high enough that the few people that where out wouldn’t realize what she was.

They were in a town and she didn’t what anything to jeopardize this mission they were on, and who knew how many animal control people they had. It wouldn't do them any good if he got snatched up by one of them. Of course if any of them tried they'd be in for a nasty surprise when she dropped down on them and attacked.

Seeing that they were close to the house she sped up and landed silently on the guys roof. Spotting a half open window she entered the house, it was dark and she could hear faint snoring in another room. Looking around the room she was in it seemed to be a bathroom, she quickly slipped out of it and looked down the hall noting which room seemed to be the one he was in before gliding down the stairs.

She moved over to one of the ground floor windows her heart pounding with excitement, so far so good. She leapt on to the windowsill and tried to push it open only to realize that it was locked. She frowned for a moment, it was locked and it wasn’t one of the push to lock ones either, she stared at a small hole in it before moving off to see if she could find anything to open it with.

She jumped onto one of the counters and peered around her eye sight fine in the total darkness, spotting a stranger silver thing on a table she moved over to it and saw that it appeared to be a weird key. Grabbing it with her mouth she went back over to the window and tried to put it in. It wouldn't stay in long enough for her to let go to turn it.

Her tail twitched as she pondered what to do. Hmm she could try and see if she was able to solidify her darkness long enough that it was able to hold the key in place and turn it. She had managed to solidify it once before the problem was that she need total concentration to do it and she kept being badgered by squirrels, in the end she had given up on it and went off to eat all the squirrels.

She stared at the key focusing on it as she moved one of the tendrils around her arm towards it, once the darkness had wrapped around it she blocked everything else out while she tried to get it to solidify. She took slow even breaths as she commanded the darkness hoping she would be able to get it right, preferably before the sun came up or the old man awoke, Luckily it was the dead of night and there was nothing but darkness it made it easier for her to tune into her align met. After a minute she smirked slightly and slowly moved the darkness up with the key, it wobbled a bit but it hadn’t fallen through. They key wobbled slowly to the keyhole in the window, the slow rotation of the key in the lock was driving her crazy. She heard a small click before hearing the soft clatter of the key falling and felt the tendril wrapping itself back around her leg.

She hadn’t managed it very long or nor was it as smooth as she’d hoped. But it had unlocked the window, and progress was progress after all right? She stood on her hinged legs and pushed the window open so Akumu could get in. Opening the window alone had take several minutes. “Sorry about the wait, it seems he likes his securely, locks his windows with keys.” She whispered to him softly before jumping down and waiting to hear what they’d do next.

((Neat house This Is the window lock))

Kivuli chuckled lightly, "And we have made into the fortress, I think he might be paranoid." She looked at him with amusement when he talked about helping themselves to his stuff.

She followed him up the stairs glad her claws where retracted, it would be good for stealth if thy where clicking against the wooden floor with every step. She stood outside the door Akumu had indicated her large ears also picking up the sounds of someone sleeping inside.

Kivuli looked at the door for a bit before responding to Akumu. “I can try it might take a while though.” She stood up placing her paws on either side of the doorknob her wings pressed against her back and tail out for balance. Her darkness quickly wrapped itself around the round object.

She hoped Akumu wouldn't do anything to distract her while she was attempting it. She focused on turning it solid and watched as the darkness slowly seemed to freeze its consent shifting and moving around died down as it started to harden, small blobs froze in place and hardened faster than the rest. After a few minutes the darkness seemed fairly solid and seemed to have a small sheen.

She took a few more breaths before trying to direct the darkness to open the door. She winced as the doorknob went down with a rattling thud she hoped to noise hadn't woken the man up. Seeing the darkness beginning to dissolve she refocused quickly, noting that the doorknob had gone back up a bit, she focused and moving the nob down slowly so it would make the noise again before slowly rotating it.

There was a soft click and the door flew open under her weight, the darkness that was still wrapped around the hand and as she just realized her arm kept the door from opening to much, the force of the door had snapped the darkness and it went back it to normal.

Kivuli grinned as she felt the eeriness Akumu was giving off. She watched as the man began to show signs of a night mare. She glanced around the room as she waited for Akumu to finish.

He certainly had a lot in interesting things now didn’t he? She didn't usually steal but she might make an exception for this guy. Of course it would be foolish to take anything from this room; It was a much better idea to see what other interesting things he had down stairs, she really hadn't been paying attention to the trinkets when she had been looking for a way to open the window.

Ah~ that would be an interesting memento no? Yes she'd take the key with her, and maybe a other thing. She wondered what Akumu would take, he was the one who suggested it, had he already planned what he would take? She wondered how many times he had done things like this before, the Nightmare neko was very interesting indeed.

Kivuli bolted after Akumu, no longer focusing on silence but speed her feet made a pattering noise on the hardwood as she followed him. She managed to catch up with him by gliding down the stairs instead of running down them.

She was on Akumu's heels at they ran towards the lower window. Her tail flicked wildly as she waited for him to exit. She could hear the Old man chasing them and yelling. Her heart beat with excitement, she was not running out of fear, no it would give him more fear if he never found out what had been in is house. Plus they'd finished the plain there was no reason to stay.

She jumped onto the window, her paw hitting the key and knocking it to the ground with a clatter as she started to go through. She was halfway through the window when she felt something grab her around the stomach. She let out an hiss as she was pulled back and flung into a wall, she was dimly aware of the banging noise that meant the window was closed.
