Quote: The Scream (4) - Late one night, you find yourself in a fairly under populated area of town. You’ve been strangely alone for the past few moments when you see movement out of the corner of your eye. Only a few yards away you see a young woman with tear-stained cheeks and a long white gown. It is difficult to make out any more details; she seems to be running from something. She looks like she is screaming but makes no sound; even her footsteps seem to be silent. If you try to chase her, you will wind up in a dead end—alone, and suddenly, cold. It feels like something has slammed into you and turned your blood to ice, but there’s no one around. No matter what you do, the chill remains until morning—but the image of the woman’s fear-filled face may haunt your dreams for much longer.
The other might have expressed his distrust in order, the gut feeling he had, but that didn't mean Kioshi trusted that Kai wouldn't be turned away from him because he enjoyed the violence and killing came rather easily to him. He was trying to walk a middle ground and hoping things didn't tip to one side or the other so he told Kai he was out and about but not where and he didn't ask the other to join him.
He was certain if Kai needed him he could find him, it shouldn't be too hard, but so far that hadn't happened. Tonight as he wandered the city, frost and long hair trailing behind him, Miyamoto had already scared off one senshi who only just managed to get away from his grasp. Stepping around a corner, a lamp post over his head, the dark haired eternal nearly jumped when someone came flying across the street. While the flying wasn't litteral it might as well be considering how fast the women was dashing across the street, only yards ahead of him, and heading right between two shops down the alleyway. Why it looked like she was screaming, yet no sound was made, had him pausing before he took off after the figure. His own dark hair, similar to her own, flying out behind him as he moved.

Kioshi said he was out - late. Knowing that the person in question wasn't one for socializing, he knew what that meant. Considering where he worked and where he lived, Augelite decided to start his own search for Negaverse agents in the area. It wasn't that he didn't think Miyamoto couldn't handle things on his own - but he worried. The more strange things happened out of the blue, the more he worried that something might happen to the other.
It was just smarter to go out in pairs.
Moving along, he walked the streets turning away from a senshi signature that was moving away and closer to a ping of familiar energy.
With his phone, he pinged the other back.
He debated for a moment and gave up. The city was too big.

His phone was never tucked into his uniform, that would risk it breaking or someone getting their hands on it, but he kept it in subspace just incase he ever needed it. It also wasn't something he checked on often, not needing to since he didn't talk to many people, but he did let Kai know he'd be out and he did now have a boyfriend. He was slowly working on adjusting to things and that included checking his cell phone from time to time when out.
There were a lot of things he'd been working on adding, or changing, about his life just because there was someone in his life who mattered more than most ever would. It was still a bit odd thinking on how he had to now consider and think about someone else. He had to consider things and worry, especially about his night life.
As he ran after the female, having decided to feed his curiosity, he pulled out his phone intending to try and take a picture of it so he could see if anyone else had seen this female. As he unlocked his phone though there was a message from Kai. For a moment he considered just going for the picture, and ignoring the text, but he responded and sent a picture instead along with telling his phone where he was and letting it type for him. Hitting send he did what he wanted then - a picture of the female running.

Kai got a message back and stared at a picture of just some lady running. Was it senshi? It looked a bit like someone in a white dress, and senshi were known for this white uniforms. Was he asking for help?
Panic racked, and he looked at the address. Not able to teleport, he raced in the direction of the address as fast as he was able. It would take him a while to get to the location. About 10 minutes at a full race to get there from the rooftops and down some streets.
When he did get there, he had to stop, panting hard and out of breath. Gym or not, he was still not able to do that kind of marathon. Gasping for breath, he looked around for Miyamoto.

While the other had hurried towards the location Miyamoto had been hot on her heels, as much as he could be anyway, she was fast. Whatever she was running from he didn't know, he didn't see or hear anything at all. Calling out towards her, hoping to stop her, he found himself rounding a corner as he shouted for her once more to stop - to turn around.
He knew his voice likely carried in the still air of the night, and he could feel a lieutenant nearby, he figured there was a good chance it was Kai. A quick text was sent letting the other know where he was, and that he was cornering the figure he'd been chasing. The female had just headed down a dead end alleyway, he knew it was one even before he entered, he knew it was a risk but he also knew this wasn't a senshi so he figured he was safe. Incase though he was ready with his own magic if he needed to fight and deffend himself.
Text sent he did take his time and wait, just incase that was Kai near by.

"Man, I need to get to that promotion business to get teleportin. This s**t is crazy." Kai said as he checked his phone and was glad the energy signature he felt was really Miyamoto. That renewed some vigor in him to push himself and he headed off again. Now that he knew the signature, he could follow that instead of the more vague area. The thing was, he didn't feel a senshi close by. What was going on?
Racing closer, he called out to him before seeing him further down the way moving towards a side street of some sort. It didn't take long to be closer and he moved into the same side way. From there he could see Miyamoto further ahead and something much further ahead.

His phone vanished, into subspace, as he stepped itn othe alleyway, vanishing from the sidewalk, as he approached the figure. A trail of frost left onthe ground behind him as he moved. long hair dragging across the ground like a snake, as he closed the distance and reached out with a hand. Only for the figure to vanish.
It wasn't a senshi so he knew whatever it was could do this, because senshi couldn't, and this was some sort of seasonal magic. He was certain of it. As soon as it vanished he calle don his own magic, figuring something was coming for him, and choked o nthe last word as the air was knocked from his lungs as something invisible slammed into his chest and sent him staggering back.
Coughing, and grasping the front of his uniform, he felt cold - too cold. It wasn't his own magic which had produced the cold which had filled the alleyway, it also wasn't his magic which caused him to feel so cold. It felt like someone had shoved ice cubes into his blood. He was shivering as he stood here and slowly turned to look over his shoulder. "The ******** was that...?" The question spoken slowly, wondering what he'd just dealt with. Coughing once more, and shivering, he kept a hodl on his uniform as he kept his eyes looking, searching, for whatever he'd just encountered.
Slowly he turned fully and slipped out of the alleyway. "Gone..." And he really seemed lost on that. He knew these sorts of things happened in this city, he did, but to encounter it was a different thing for him. Also, cold magic was his thing.

Kai met up with Miyamoto a little too late, having just caught the tale end of the woman before she was just gone.
"Not.." He took a breath." ...one of us." They didn't have any signature. However, they did seem to just teleport.
"Why were you chasing em?" He asked, wondering what had caused them to even run after them in the first place.

"No, not one of us." Shivering he reached up to rub at his chilly arms. "Not human either, not like that." But what she was he didn't know. T hough the first thought to hit him was yokai but he seriously doubted that.
"Saw them, they crossed my path, and I wondered why they were running. Were they running from something or towards something. I was actually curious and not just following for an energy grab." The idea of grabbing energy from them seemed like a bad idea, something hadn't sat well with him.
He hadn't even really considered unsafe running after the figure had been, though it really was unsafe. Standing there, staring up at the other, his long hair trailed down to the ground where it pubbled like ink. The uniform he wore came in at his waist, unlike his usual clothing, making him look smaller than he typically did.
"Whatever she did I feel cold, like my blood has been chilled, I don't like it. I should be the only one playing with tempatures." Of course he should be, that was his thing, and to have someone use cold against him was not something he could appreciate in any manner.

"Creepy." He said, moving to slid off his uniform jacket and draped it over Miyamoto's shoulders. After which he rubbed his arms on either side.
"Maybe we should get you something warm to drink." He suggested, turning to his side and draping a arm over his shoulder. There was a soft little squeeze in hopes of offering any of his warmth to the other.
This had been a very much rehearsed movement in his mind for over a week. Little things in his ways to be a better boyfriend and more romantic.

"That might be a good idea." As much as he wanted to stay out, and patrol further, he really wasn't sure what else he could get done. A hot drink would be nice though and perhaps he could stay out then, once he felt a bit warmer. He was sure a drink would help.
"Thank you." Leaning into the other side, tucking himself as close as he could, Miyamoto was glad for the warmth being offered him by the other. "Let's find drinks for us both, on me, and we can see what we can get done as far as energy gathering. I'm sur eyou still have a quota to hit and while mine is made I don't mind grabbing more." He liked to do his best and over achieve a bit when and where he could.
Turning his head to the other his lips quickly pressed to the others cheek, a quick but gentle action. "I'm glad you turned up here."

He perked at the kiss, both surprised and flushing. He gave another squeeze to Miyamoto's shoulder, feeling the pick up in his own chest.
"Yeah, and maybe we can coordinate some nights to go together. I'm not a Captain yet so I'm still hoofing it here. I don't do as much cardio as weight lifting." He said, not built for racing all over Destiny City to get to him - not that he wouldn't if he felt Miyamoto needed him.
"I'm glad you're okay. You had me worried." He said as he looked around before powering down. The coat went away, but that wasn't to say Kai didn't just take his own one off and dot he same action. The night was still young and there was a plenty of bars and cafes open - depending what drink you used to warm up.

"I don't do either though I do assume this night job can be considered cardio." Especially a good fight or a battle, which he hadn't had ina while, he had been hoping for a good fight tonight with someone - anyone.
With nothing pinging off his senses he powered himself down as well and was pressed right back into the others side. If he remained this cold when he got home he was going to be laying bundled under his comforter tonight, he'd need the warmth tonight. "I don't mean to worry you, I can hold my own in a fight, but this was a rather interesting issue." And he still wasn't sure what to make of it, that hadn't been human but he didn't know what it was either.
"Some nights together would be good. It'll keep us both safe." Though perhaps more the other than himself.
