Heirot

Vladimir smirked darkly at the woman who had strode up to him. "Well, frankly at the moment, I sort of want to eat you," he said frankly in his low voice, analyzing her in amusement.

"Eat me? How rude," the lady said, smiling a dazzeling smile, but it was no where near as beautiful a smile as Shea's.

"I guess I could be into the biting thing," she giggled and batted her eyelashes. "Now, come with me..."

Kyosuke wasn't quite sure whether or not he should be relieved or offended that the bunny woman didn't notice him. After noting her flirtatious manner, the samurai decided that he was the latter. He continued to run through his memories of the battle.

Ylia stomach turned at this sight of this... woman, she finally decided,.. who was standing near the front of their group.

Talon, who is this? she asked deep in the privacy of their elven thoughts.

Nickole sat up attentively at the appearance of the cute little woman who, soon after opening her mouth, removed all pretense of innocence that her bunny outfit may have implied. Curious, she held on tight to Talon's sleeve-top as she watched her flirt with the vampire. She caught a glimse of the golden elf-woman's face and noticed the ripples of thought beneath her normally calm exterior.

Ylia's obviously not used to naughtiness, Nickole thought to herself with an amused grin as she grabbed a more secure hand-hold on Talon's shirt.

Talon heard the thoughts enter into his head. A demon, he exlpained quickly, his eyes looking the woman over. It wasn't because he found her attractive, which he did, it was the fact he was searching for a weapon of some sort.

Kaze had had enough, but she didn't want to speak out. She manuvered Kami over to Talon whil giving the bunny woman an icy glare.

"We need to move on." she said with an edge to her voice.

Vladimir looked at the bunny girl, as usual paying little heed to the reaction of the rest of the group. He leaned down in his saddle toward the bunny girl. "You know, you couldn't have come at a better time," he said, a lustful urge coming into his low voice as his face leaned inches from hers.

In the next instant, she found herself suspended off the ground by Vladimir's clawed, powerful hand around her neck. "Unfortunately for you, my kind live for the chase. I hate loose women," he spat at the creature with a fanged smirk.

Just before Vladimir began to speak Talon answered Kaze, "Watch." Talon had a feeling it would all be settled in a moment anyway. "When it happens, you can kill her if you like."

Talon didn't bother to tell Kaze what would happen to signal her, but he knew she would figure it out.

The bunny lady lost her smile as Vladimir lifted her up with his hand around her neck. Her skin began to bubble grossly as her form shifted from the thin beautiful lady, to a gray hairless huminoid rabbit. It had the body like a human, the hands and feet like a rabbit, and the head of one to. Her eyes were red and wide, her breath smelled of dead things. Her teeth were bucked and yellow, chiped slightly at the corners.

The rabbit demon began to hiss and claw at Vladimir's hands. "I'll eat you for dinnir you...," she growled.

Shinobu's eyes widened and she looked very surprised. "Now I know I'm not in Ongoreth anymore... I've never seen a... whatever that is," she said softly to Kyosuke, her form back slightly and pushing against him. She didn't want to push him off, so she decided to not let the fact she wanted to be as far away from the demon thing as possible slip from her mind and she sat up straight.

Talon looked at Kaze with a charming smile. "And that would be your cue," he told her.

Kaze blinked for a second, then smiled under her scarf. "Let me end this." she said and she summoned up her Light Blade. Thankfully, there was enough light coming through the tree's. Griping her Blade of Light firmly, she held it up high and spurred Kami forward fast. She charged the demon then cleanly cut it in half at it's waist. It's blood sizzled on her blade like acid and Kaze quickly dispersed her blade. She watched as the creature slowly shriveled.

Vladimir frowned at the wasted blood... he really was hungry. "Women are always after me just for my body. I makes me feel so dirty," he whined mockingly to Talon as they began to ride onward, trying to ignore the unnatural tension in his gut.

Talon ignored the comment that Vlad made, for one if his sister was really the lover of this... thing... then he was talking about her as well. No, Talon told himself. My sister isn't a cheap whore... that I know of...

Talon looked back at Vlad. "I'm sure we can find you a criminal to eat in Hepian, there are plenty of them there..." Just as long as you don't bite my sister, Talon thought.

Shinobu was quite glad that Kaze had finished off the ugly creature that the woman had become. She started off as such a cute little bunny and then ended up so ugly...

Kaze glared forward at the tree's as they kept going. The feeling was gone now. Kami was walking calmly into the tree's and beyond. It seemed there was nothing left to fear as of right now.

"I hate false calm." Kaze said evenly and shot and small spout of fire magic to her left. It hit a black bird in a tree. There was a struggle heard in the branches, then the breaking fall of a heavy body hitting the earth, and a man's groan. Kaze turned Kami around to face the threat. "You're losing your touch."

"I let my guard down for only a moment." said the dark cloaked man as he came from the brush, dusting himself off. "You hit hard." he tried to make a joke. Kaze glared.

"Considering it being you, I don't think I hit hard enough." Kaze's heart was pounding. She feared him the most of any being, but she couldn't show her fear. Not like last time anyway. Last time she had gotten sloppy.

Vlad looked toward the man who had just fallen from the tree, and then at Kaze, interested that they seemed to know each other. He watched the stranger curiously, crossing his arms in amusement.

Kyosuke's eyes sprang open when he saw Kaze wield her magic and a memory suddenly returned to him. He then narrowed his eyes at Kaze, remembering how he had gotten caught in the middle of her magic during the battle right before he blanked out. He was about to confront her about it when he saw the new man appear and decided to delay it for a bit.

"Shinobu-dono, do you still have the anti magic pendant I gave you?" the samurai whispered.

OOC: *ahem* KAZE not Mizuki.

Kaze paid little attention to the ones around her. Heck, all she could hear was the pounding of her heart and the blood in her ears. Kami sensed her tension and back away from the cloaked man.

"Don't think you're protecting her, horse-man," the cloaked man said and snapped his fingers. Both Kami and Kaze fell to the ground as Kami shifted back into his human form, naked again. The cloaked man laughed and looked to the others. "It'd be wise if you'd all just leave now. I have no business with you, to protect her would get you all killed."
