Mira breathed in the scent of the forest, she hadn't been back in the tavern for awhile seems she had only meant to lay out in the meadow for a few moments, which turned into hours as she fell asleep on the grass. No animals bothered the sleeping fairy seeming to sense that she was as much of the forest as they were. Rubbing her eyes she sat up looking around groggily, nothing seemed to have changed much except the sun in the sky which showed how long she had been out there. Taking flight she flew in between the tree's heading back to the tavern. She hadn't been far from the tavern so it wasn't long before it came into view. Not bothering to land she eased open the door and slipped in.

Kiya stood up shaking her fur out a little, she felt on edge around this different Angil was it true what Yuu-kun said that it was a monster or something? Walking out of the kitchen she cautiously made her way over to Yuu-kun leaning against his leg not intending to get attention just wanting to be near him. She still wasn't exactly sure what was going on here but there was an undercurrent of animosity between the two of them because of the monster inside Angil. She still didn't know what that meant

Angil glared at him. As you said yourself, you know nothing of me, so what makes you able to judge if I have a robe or not. You really think I want to stay in this world? You think I want to stay a prisoner? She clenched her teeth, looking away. As for my robes, you really think we are stupid enough to make them look valuable. Hell to even think about it, I dont even know what it looks like in this world. Thus making my search even harder.

Sofia wasn’t really paying attention to Jaden as he asked her if she remember him. She’d talk to him later. Right now she had bigger and important things to focus on. Like not fainting…oh and lets not forget the confrontation of her fears. Although not fainting was much more important right now. Biting her lip she continued to watch the male vampire with her own fear transparent on her fear. Finally concluding that he wasn’t going to even attempt to try and make a deal with her she dropped her hand and looked down tilting her head forward enough that her hair hid her open expressive face.

Well that plan had failed. She’d thought….well for a moment there she’d thought that the vampire would relax and trust her enough to at least introduce himself but he hadn’t. He hadn’t even come out of his hiding spot behind Jaden. She knew he was just scared but still…she couldn’t help but take some offense at his assumption that all humans were so terrible. She’d met a few humans that were downright detestable but she wasn’t one and she didn’t think her protector (Nollie) was. And aside form her first comment when she’d entered the tavern she couldn’t begin to think of what she may have done to make him so frightened of her. Then again…she was pretty sure every male that had been here when she’d first arrived would want to know why she was so terrified of them. She could just tell them…but she didn’t want that. This was something had to handle on her own. And if it meant going ballistic each time a strange creepy male approached her then so be it.

Jaden let out a soft huff of annoyance as Sofia ignored him. Ok apparently she was a girl on a mission. He could understand that. But it would make much more sense to him if he knew what that actual mission was! Then he could try and help or do something remotely useful-unlike usual. He’d just opened his mouth to try and get Sofia to speak to him when he felt Virsat’s tongue make a quick trip down his neck. He was so surprised a soft meow of pleasure escaped –it wasn’t his fault that his neck was a very sensitive place! But that wasn’t the best part. He all but went into convulsions as he felt Virsat’s body press firmly against his. Another low meow escaped as he arched softly pressing back against Virsat’s his mind quickly traveling that darker but much more entertaining place. He’d completely forgotten about Sofia and what ever else he was supposed to be doing. As far as he was concerned there was only one person he needed to focus on right now: Virsat. The vampire who seemed to have a very good idea of how to make him purr of that there was no doubt. The moment Virsat’s tongue had met the sensitive skin of his neck Jaden had been unable to stop purring and when the other male had pressed his front against Jaden’s backside well predictably it had only gotten louder.

How ever the moment he heard Virsat’s whimpered request, he came to his sense what few he had anyway. Instantly he felt bamboozled. Oh sure! Go and pull th ekittie’s tale, make him purr, and then leave him hanging. Sheesh! His blessed out expression faded into one of mild annoyance as he promptly stepped away from Virsat leaving the vampire completely open to the ick humans. Hmmph. ”Fine. Do what ever you want. I don’t care. I’ve got better things to do.” he tossed over his shoulder. Like maybe go and find a nice cold stream to swim in…Shaking his head, Jaden’s tail lashed angrily from side to side as he started towards the kitchen before he stopped. No wait, why was he the one running? He wasn’t the visitor here. This was his turf…his work turf anyway. Virsat was the visitor and Virsat was the one who should be leaving. Oh wait..that was what had started the whole mix up. But still..he wasn’t the one who should have been walking away like that. Virsat had initiated (or rather tried to) something there and he should have to own up to it! Not that he could see Virsat doing that but honestly just because he was part cat didn’t mean he had to run away. He was a cat and he had needs, just like Virsat did. And right now every part of Jaden was standing on end and demanding he do something besides stand there. ”I’m going outside for a walk…” he muttered darkly as he stalked towards the door and disappeared outside leaving the door open for Virsat.

Virsat rather enjoyed the warmth that radiated from Jaden's body. Being so close to that warmth was very very enjoyable. It was easy to forget, when surrounded by nothing but other vampires your entire life, how warm other people were. When Jaden moved away, leaving him there. Exposed to the scary humans, Virsat cringed. Whimpered, raised his hands as if to protect his face and took a few steps backwards. Why, why did Jaden do that? Well, perhaps it had been stupid to trust someone he barely knew. Even if it was a kitty. The first kitty that had willingly curled up in his lap. Such an action. It had caused Virsat to have high hopes for a friendship. Granted...Virsat didn't really know much about making friends or what having a friendship with someone entailed.

When Jaden slipped outside and left the door open, Virsat's expression changed slightly. Did Jaden want to hunt with him? Or was Jaden trying to get far away from him? It didn't matter. The door behind him was open, the scary humans were infront of him, so the path to the door was clear. Virsat bolted. He was out the door in mere seconds, and standing under the nearest tree. He peeked around the tree, to watch. He was looking to see if the scary humans followed him, and he was also looking to see if he could see Jaden anywhere nearby.

He didn't think the humans would follow him. Virsat licked his lips, his crimson gaze dancing this way and that for a few moments before he stepped away from the tree and stretched. Rather relaxed now. Still afraid though. There was still a chance the scary humans would come after him, and still a chance that members of the coven were looking for him. He was risking alot to come outside and hunt. Not hunting though, would put everyone around him in danger. He really really didn't want to hurt anyone...even the scary humans.

With a soft sigh, and a decision to find Jaden later. For several reasons. Virsat picked a direction and started off in it. He wouldn't be gone long or far, at least that was what he told himself.

EJ rolled over onto his back and slowly opened his eyes. Having a nice nap, he stretched, rising out of bed. His dark red eyes looking about the room remembering where he was. He smiled, remembering that he has found a place that actually accepted him. Being fully rested, he wanted to see what was around the tavern. EJ rose from the bed and dressed, just before jumping out of the window. No point going through the door. As he landed he noticed the Vampire from before was finally outside. About damn time. Poor child. Curious, he decided to follow him a little.

Even outside, moving away from the tavern, Virsat fought to not lose himself to the hunger. He wasn't sure what would happen if he did. He might turn back around and eat everyone in the tavern. He was trying hard to avoid something like that happening. Soon he got the distinct feeling that he was being followed, Virsat paused and sniffed at the air. He couldn't get a definitive scent on who or what was tailing him. The wind wasn't right for it. However, he did get a noseful of deer scent.

Deer would do nicely. He was used to deer anyway and they were big. He could get enough from one to fill him up nicely. Assuming he could get a big buck. Virsat licked his lips and changed his direction just slightly. Still he didn't like the idea that someone might be following him, though..perhaps it was Jaden? Virsat didn't want to think it was someone from the coven. He also didn't want to think it was the scary humans.

The vampire moved silently, even though his movements were hesitant. A little jerky now and then. Soon the deer were insight. No buck, just a few does and a few fawns. One doe in particular looked to be a rather nice size. As soon as those crimson eyes landed on his intended prey, Virsat was gone. His strength and speed had brought the doe down in mere moments and it wasn't until after he had bitten into the animal and begun to feed that the other herbivores panicked and fled.

EJ moved to the shadows when Virsat looked around, knowing that he most likely knew he was being followed. An approaching wind started to blow and EJ decided to remove the tie that was holding his long silver hair in place. He shook his head and felt the wind blow through it. It felt really good. EJ's attention was turned back to his pray when Virsat took off. Now I wonder where he is off to? Then the sent of the dear finally hit him. Ahh...nevermind. He smiled charmingly and took off after him.

EJ was impressed by the speed and skill Virsat demonstrated. He tiled his head and walked out of his hiding place. That was pretty impressive, pup. Tell me, how long has it been since you were born again? He flashed a gentle smile, truly interested in the young one.

((This is what EJ looks like))

Virsat had finished quickly, he had been so hungry. Infact, he even thought of chasing down another one. At some point he had closed his eyes, he had forgotten that someone followed him...well..he hadn't forgotten, it had just been pushed to the back of his mind. His eyes opened as he pulled back from the deer. Sitting indian style on the ground and gently he pushed the deer's head from it's resting place in his lap.

Virsat, for all his haste, had been a rather neat eater. Not a drip spilled. He licked his lips, looking up and looking a tad bit startled as the male approached him. It was the man he had seen enter the Tavern earlier. The man with the confusing scent. Was this the person that had been following him since he left the tavern? Probably. Crimson eyes warily watched the man. Had the coven sent this man after him? It didn't seem like it..or..the man might be trying to trick him.

"...I wasn't fast enough....The others shouldn't have known I was here until after killing two or three..." Virsat reached up, fingers looping into that collar he continued to wear around his neck. His master would have scolded him for his slowness. Though the gentle smile of the stranger seemed to calm some of the wariness in Virsat. "..I am...one hundred and fifty years old....In my twentieth year I was..ah..born again.."

][EJ is sexy. heh. but I'm off to bed cause it's like 4a.m][

"Aye, it must be rather boring to be the prisoner of a little Elvin maidens whims, huh? Too bad your brain seems to be just as insignificant as your worth. Else you might have thought of picking up the scent of your robes. Oh wait, you probably couldn't try something like that, it would probably cause you to disfigure your hiding place, effectively destroying your pact. That would be bad, wouldn't it?" Yuuichi grins sarcastically, purposely throwing words that should sting the creature. Feeling Kiya against his leg he picks her up and places her on the counter beside him. His hand absently starting to stroke her fur. "I guess being your in such a predicament, you should consider going back to sleep and letting my ward have her body back."

EJ raised his brows. Only one hundred and fifty? You are a young one. EJ approached the vampire. He knelt down and gently wiped a small amount of blood gathered at the corner of Virsat's mouth. He raised his hand to his mouth and licked the blood off his finger. His nose wrinkled a little. I could never get use to the taste of animal blood. He tilted his head and brushed Virsat's hair away from his neck. He ran his finger along the collar on his neck. Thats interesting neck ware you have there. Where did you obtain that? His voice was soft and gentle.


Angil kept glaring at him. I have tried to live peacefully, not harming my host, and it does dull my senses. She smiled, a mischievous glare in her eye. I could just destroy this body and go on my merry way, destroying everything in my path until I find my robe. And maybe even make you my little pet. She giggled a little, knowing it would annoy the little fox.

"I would kill you the second you stepped out of her. Don't think for a second I don't already want to." He growls a bit at how snide the creature is, wishing he could kill it without harming Angil. Mentally, Yuuichi makes a note of the admittance of weakness to the creatures senses. I wonder how many other things are weakened by your prolonged stay in your host. He continues petting Kiya, like nothing at all is going on.

Kiya's fur bristled her tail puffing up making her look a little bigger then she actually was, she didn't like this Angil she needed to go away and give the body back to it's rightful owner, despite Yuu-kun's petting she didn't feel relaxed like she normally would, instead a little growl rumbled in her throat, surprising her. But even knowing she couldn't stop herself, she felt on edge around this woman and didn't like her.

The scene before her was unexpected, a fox on the counter, the elven maid from earlier although something seemed odd about her, she wasn't her usually cheery self, and the owner of the Tavern the male kitsune. There was an undercurrent of animosity in the room she didn't like but it wasn't her place to get involved. Backing out the door Mira shut it behind her, wonder what's going on she thought as she flew back towards the secluded meadow she was in earlier

Angil giggles a little more, enjoying the uneasiness the causes in Yuuichi. She looks at Kiya, surprised by the little growl. Oh no. It seems I have angered your little friend as well. She sighed and looked at Yuuichi. Very well, I will get to the point. You want me out for good? Fine, but you will have to get Angil ready to fight without me. There is something out there that wants her and you can only do so much. Her eyes became soft and dull. This child...she is different than the others. She has such hidden potential that everyone has been afraid to tap into. That is why she can be dangerous. My presence plus her own overwhelming energy is a dangerous combination if not taught to control. If you wish not to kill her then you will have to make a decision. Keep her blind to everything around her, risking everyone's life, or tell her and teach her simple things to channel the overflow of energy. You may take it up to her family since you are but a caretaker, but this is something that will need to be decided eventually.

Closing his eyes, Yuuichi softly pinches at the scruff of Kiya's neck. "Calm down little one, neither of us are in danger.....for now." He opens his eyes back up to look at Angil levelly. "And this right here is why I hate getting involved in the matters of Elves. Always, always, something bad that can kill me if not controlled. I will never understand them." Yuuichi sighs as he watches Angil, waiting for his ward to take back over.

Despite Yuu-kuns reassurance Kiya still didn't feel at ease, though she did at least attempt to calm herself, she stopped growling but her eyes never left the elven woman. "Yes Yuu-kun" was all she thought her fur wasn't bristling any longer, but her tail still looked like a little puff ball. His hand at her neck pinching it distracted her, taking her mind off what was happening for a second calming her a small bit

Angil laughed at his comment. Yes, well, if they would act as smart as they really are, then most could be avoided. They are a kind with great power and maybe they will learn one day how to teach at birth how to control their mind. She laughed once again, lightly this time, and closed her eyes. She narrowed her brows looking annoyed. It appears she is still weak from earlier. That or she just doesnt want to wake. Either way, I think I will just return her to her room. A little less confusion on her part and we dont want her having a panic attack thinking she did something wrong. She stood from her stool, putting pressure on her injured hand. She winced a little from the pain. Even if you choose not to have her trained, at least teach the girl proper first aid. She spouted at she walked away, returning to Angil's room.

Virsat had stiffened a bit when the male came even closer and knelt infront of him. He shivered just slightly when the stranger wiped a bit of blood from his lips. His brow furrowing slightly. "...I've always taken animal blood.....Except...earlier Yuuichi, from the tavern gave me some of his.." Virsat frowned. [B]"...I'm not supposed to hurt anyone...so I couldn't let anyone else do that...But.." He licked his lips, a bit of a gleam in his crimson eyes. "His blood...it had tasted so good. And the girl elf...her's smelled so sweet...it made me lose control." Virsat looked away quickly. As if ashamed of his own words.

When EJ moved his hair and trailed a finger around his collar, Virsat looked back up at him. That odd gleam in his eyes was gone, and he shivered again. "This...?" His own fingers were still touching the collar and he gave it a slight tug. "...Was a gift from my master..." His fingers moved from the collar to his face, lightly brushing the mark beneath his eye and then his hand had dropped to his lap. That mark had also been a 'gift'. Virsat hated it.

Figuring that EJ had fallen asleep as it was daylight out Regina wandered away from his door to find a safe place to sleep. Virsat had mentioned a basement to sleep in which sounded nice to her. "Yuuchi?"she looked around for the owner as she walked down the hallway.

As he watches Angil walk away, Yuuichi finally allows the muscles in his body to relax, his body a little shaky. "I'm sorry about that Kiya, I really wish I could keep you away from such things. But unfortunately it seems, for you to be near me, you will have to deal with this stuff along side me. Can you forgive me?" He glances over at her with sadness in his eyes as he gently rubs behind her ears, trying to help her relax.

EJ was a bit surprised, he has never found another who has only had animal. Its a shame that your only taste of non-animal blood was in fact an animal hybrid. However if you would have gotten a taste of that Elf's blood, You probably would have gone into a rage. That woudnt have been a nice sight. EJ's eyes started to become dull. However, if you have only had animal blood....I wonder....what your blood....tastes like.... The dark of his eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke. His body involuntarily moving forward and his eyes fixated on the lower curve of Virsat's neck. That was EJ's favorite place. If caught just right, it gives his prey a pleasurable sensation. Since he rarely killed his hosts, He never cared for causing unwanted pain, it made it difficult to go back for seconds. So instead he masted the art of making his prey enjoy his feedings, and with the growing knowledge of Vampires, you would be surprised how many women, and men, who fantasize of being bitten.

A few seconds after he finished speaking EJ blinked rapidly and shook his head clearing his thoughts. Please, forgive me. My thurst for both knowledge and blood is often difficult to control, especially if they both are on the same subject. I have great control of myself, so please do not fear me. He rubbed his head, ashamed of allowing himself to act like that. His ears perked up when he mentioned a master. What manner of creature holds a vampire as a slave? He said angrily. However due to his condition a few seconds ago, EJ's mind drifted off, thinking of only one reason he would want to keep anyone captive. The corner of his lips curled just a little and a mischievous gleam was in his eyes. His attention was drawn back to the current subject when Virsat fingered his marking. A..brand? Now thats just cruel. I have yet to hear of anyone doing this, and I like to keep my ear to the ground when it comes to goings on in the Vampire and Demon world. EJ moved back, sitting in indian style, arms crossed in front of him, trying to think of any whispers about this.

Virsat had blinked those crimson eyes rather innocently up at EJ when the male began towards him, with an all to familiar look on his face. Other than a small shiver, and a slight tilt of his head, Virsat kept still. Watching, almost as if he were used to be approached in such a way. When EJ seemed to regain his composure Virsat blinked at him for a moment and shrugged slightly. As if nothing had happened. Virsat shrugged again.

"My master's coven had many slaves..." His brow furrowed slightly. Not quite understanding why he had heard anger in this man's voice. "But my master didn't share me with his coven...I was his alone....but when humans killed him, the others in the coven..." Virsat cringed, his arms going up to hug himself as he shivered slightly. "...They were so mean...meaner than my master had been...I was so afraid, so I ran away...but slaves aren't supposed to run away..or go outside..or talk to strangers...or hunt by themselves..." He bit his bottom lip gently for a moment. Then shook his head. As if shaking those thoughts away, he had lowered his arms.

When he looked at EJ now, his gaze was rather serious. Almost intimidating without meaning to be. "They hunt me. To kill me or do worse things to me. I have broken the rules, punishment must be dealt, but I will not let them take me."

When Virsat hadnt moved or protested to EJ's approach he was somewhat surprised. A willing host, or so it seemed. I may have to remember that. He thought a gentle smile crossed his lips. He thought about all the covens he came across. Trying to think of any who enslaved their kind. Seeing Virsat feeling so vulnerable angered him. To make one of such a proud and strong kind become weak and fearful was unforgivable. Then he remembered. A coven that tucked themselves away. All but fading into the shadows. He has found bodies of dead vampires along his travels that appeared to have been beaten violently before killed. He has been told they were from that Coven. T-they are hunting you? EJ tensed up and became on high alert. He felt around the forest, trying to see if there were any mental wavelengths nearby. Not finding any, He gave his attention to Virsat once again. Well, luckily you have found this place. I will not let anything harm you. If they come anywhere near here, I will make them pay. For some reason, EJ became extremely protective. Just the thought of anyone hurting Virsat boiled his blood. Noticing the anger building within him, EJ took a second to calm himself. Extreme emotions were never a good thing. Once calm, he spoke again. Also, there seems to be other good people here, and I'm sure they will protect you as well. He looked at Virsat gently. A strange feeling came over him. One he was yet familiar with. As he did with all emotions, he pushed it away.

Regina decided to look for Yuuchi later and headed back to the bar. There was no real sign of anyone around so sat just sat there until someone showed up.

The woman was gone, Kiya wasn't exactly sure what had happened but it seemed things would work themselves out with no hitches. It wasn't until the woman was gone that Kiya realized just how tense and worked up she had become Yuu-kun's hand petting and scratching her started to ease her, making her relax once more. "Well it's never dull around here now is it?" she asked in a slight teasing tone. Well an attempt at teasing she wasn't exactly at ease yet. "Yuu-kun what happened? What was wrong with her? She didn't seem the same as earlier" moving away from his hand she hopped off the bar and shifted into her human form. Even her human form seemed a bit ruffled.

Isn't much to do around here is there Mira thought to herself relaxing near a brook in the woods, from what she could tell there some people in the forest. Wonder what was happening earlier she thought deciding it might be safe to head back, things may have resolved themselves by now. Jumping up she flew back towards the tavern humming a soft nonsense song to herself. The tavern came into view and she again eased the door open this time peeking in. The woman and the fox were gone, instead a small young woman was there with the tavern owner. "Hello everyone how's it going?"

Virsat ran a hand through his hair and smiled softly at EJ. Perhaps he and this man could be friends? His smile faltered at that thought, as it led him to another one. Jaden. Was the cat mad at him? He needed to talk to Jaden. Virsat blinked, pushing those thoughts to the side for now. Shaking his head slightly. "Yuuichi said, it was a safe place, but...after the way I acted. I do not think any of them will welcome me back." His brow had creased slightly. "I...I don't like this...Being out on my own...I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I tried to be good..I tried hard not to hurt anyone....and Jaden got mad at me. I didn't mean to make him angry. He's such a pretty kitty...I thought...I thought he could be my friend...but he got so angry.."

Virsat looked away, glaring off in the distance at nothing in particular. He was mad at himself for making Jaden so angry even though he still hadn't figured out why Jaden had gotten upset. He huffed softly, and yawned. He'd been too long without proper rest, and being out in the sunlight didn't help the tiredness any. Even being in shade of a forest, didn't help cancel out the effects of the sun being up. At least the shade protected him from the rays that would slowly burn and melt his body away.
