"Aw well I understand then but a bed is prefered"sensing his waryness just a little bit she decided to change the subject."so is there a basement around here you sleep in?"seeming to not know alot about her vampire abilites since she was only over 100 years old and still learning "Just please trust me ok?".

She watched to cat jump onto his lap"aw I see then"putting a hand under her chain and thinking about him with deep fascination"If anything I can rest outside during the day"wanting to stroke the cat but refraining to do so with fear it would not like it.

(It's alright. ^_^ Thank you for replying.)

Jaden's one good eye drifted shut before opening in a slow blink. Whoa...was someone petting him? He hadn't expect kind of reaction. To be honest when he'd effortlessly scaled the stranger's leg he'd expected to be thrown across the room-that was how it usually went and it was the only reason he'd done it-to get a rise out of the customer. It wasn't a nice thing to do but then again Jaden wasn't a nice person-well morally he was- but as far as personality wise he'd have to say he was a bit of a rebel heck he'd even go so far as to say he was the bad boy type. Now back to the customer, stretching slowly, Jaden arched his back letting out a soft 'meow' as the strangers hand moved over his coat in soft reassuring strokes. Dang, if he'd know he was going to get a nice reaction today he would have climbed into the lap of one of the female visitors! Then he would have gotten smothered with kisses then again this guy wasn't so bad. It wasn't like he was picky about what gender he got attention from. Although if he was honest he'd have to say he much more preferred a guys company to a girls. Why? Heck if he knew, the creator of this world had made Jaden the way he was for a reason, who was to even question that reason? sure he questioned everything else but this one thing he wouldn't question.

As the time ticked by, Jaden had completely laid himself out in the strangers lap his body vibrating with a long low purr of satisfaction. Ahh this was the life. A nice warm lap to lay in, someone who didn't mind petting him, no job to worry about-oh thats what he was forgetting! He had a job! Instantly his purring ceased as Jaden sat up his ear twitching slightly as he listened. Where was the boss man at? He didn't hear him..shifting into a sitting position, Jaden took a delicate whiff of the air before letting out a brief hum of approval. He was safe! Yuuichi wasn't here and he couldn't be fussed at for being late. Again. Humming in amusement he stretched slowly before he stood carefully making his way across Virsat's lap and pressing himself against the visitors hand in a silent thank you. Leaping out of the stranger's lap Jaden gracefully landed on his feet. Alright enough with this polite bit. He'd sat there an allowed himself to be petted and adored. Now it was time to return to business as usual. Tossing an amused look over his shoulder Jaden allowed himself on long last stretch before his shifted into his human form with a soft popping sound from his muscles as grew taller and bigger.Smirking softly he crossed his arms over his chest as he turned to watch his small audience's reaction to that sudden change. From a cute (well semicute) and cuddly cat to a big lanky male with faint scars crisscrossing in faint lines across his skin. "Well that was a nice welcome." with a soft smirk.

"Oh no"she quickly slides of the stool to help him."how did you get this?"not touching the mark on his face but noticing how sickly and pale he was."when was the last time you've had blood"making haste to try and help him up with superhuman strength that she was adjusting to.how odd for him to have thesetrying to remember who turned was bad enough but these marks were so odd.

(Since you asked so nicely I'll make sure to do that. XD)

Bingo! That was more like the reaction he was looking for! Well not the whole falling over a chair thing, but the shocked surprise? That was something he'd wanted to see. If there was surprise then a little excitement was sure to follow. Which was exactly what this tavern needed right now. It was always so quiet and peaceful back there in the kitchen. Every now and then did get tired of listening to himself bang pots and pans around. Now that he'd achieved that he could go on with his day. Right after he helped his new friend up. Heh, friend was the wrong word maybe acquaintance was a better word. Stretching lazily he leaned forward and started to help him up only to stop as the male's companion leaned forward. Well there went his good deed for the day..

Seeing the odd brand resting under the visitor's eyes Jaden's brow creased in curiosity his tale swinging from side to in a leisurely manner. "That's a different mark. How'd you get it?" he asked with a curios lilt of his head. It was none of his business, but then again he was pat cat, it didn't matter if it was his business or not. If he was curious about it, he was going to ask questions. And considering the line of work he was in he'd seen a lot of things and heard a lot of stories. It was one of the reasons he loved (what a shock!) his job. Even if he did spent a lot of time back in kitchen. He had good hearing so it wasn't like he missed out on a lot of things. His sight..that was another story. he had one eye that actually worked there wasn't much he could see at one time. When the male's friend mentioned something about blood understanding dawned. Ahhh a vampire. he should have expected as much with the whole cool body temperature but he hadn't been thinking straight, he'd been distracted. not that it was that surprising, he was part cat! He was easily distracted. But right now he had a job to do. "Do you need something to drink? If you'd like I could go get you something." he offered calmly. He doubted Yuuichi had any blood in stock but he didn't mind providing a little. It wasn't like it'd matter if he wound up with one more scar, and beside his blood was going to a good cause. It'd bring some color to his face. "How rude of me. It seems I've forgotten my manners again. I'm Jaden Green and you are?" he asked flashing the vampire a faint half grin. He didn't care about his manners, he had them but whether he chose to use them was completely up to him. In this case he'd use them. It might work to his benefit.

Smiling at Virsat whom had appreciated her help then nodding back in approval. She then turned to Jaden"Its nice to meet you"glancing sideways at the vampire for a second then back to the mysterious creature that was a cat before and a human now. their all an interesting bunchshe had been thinking to herself.

((Gomen-nasai!! I'm sorry I fell asleep last night ><))

Angil just kind of stared at the floor. Ya I was a Councilman's daughter.... She started to think about her home, her family and why she left. She missed her mother and brother, but not much her father. He never wanted a daughter to begin with. He was perfectly fine with just his son, his heir. Angil was expected to only be seen when he wanted to show her off in order to find her a husband or to meet a potential husband. This aggravated her. She was not some item to be sold to the highest bidder, but her father thought of her that way. That was the only good thing about having a daughter, he could use her to increase his power. She noticed the new comer enter the tavern but hoped Yuu-kun would take care of her.

Angil got up and walked behind the bar to get herself some water to drink. Then out of no where a cat jumped through the window. It didnt bother her too much since she knew who it was from the markings. This man...Jaden. Angil didnt know him well and has never had the chance to talk to him much. All she really knows is that he came to Yuu-kun for a job and now he is here. She wants to get to know him a little more but just hasnt found a time to do so...

( I like the mark! Its kind of pretty. But considering what it means for Virsat…it takes away from the prettiness. Poor Virsat!)

Jaden waited patiently his ears twitching slightly as Virsat stumbled over his words. Heh, a nervous vampire. Now that certainly was a unique combination. What did this vampire have to be scared of? Jaden might look a little ruff but he was pretty harmless unless you got him really riled up. Then he didn’t hesitate to show his claws, but tried to only do that in self defense. When Virsat finally introduced himself Jaden gave the vampire a soft smile and nodded ”Its nice to meet the both of you.” he said to the vampire pair before he stiffened softly hearing Angil’s voice. Uh oh..so much for not being caught. Oh well all Yuuichi could/would do was yell at him again. It wasn’t anything to be overly frightened of.

Jaden was preparing to go and take his place in the kitchen before he heard Virsat murmur something about kitties. Chuckling he turned back giving Virsat a grin. ”Normal kitties can’t do that. But the last time I checked I wasn’t a normal cat there fore I don’t have to follow the normal kitty rules.” he explained with a soft chuckle before he spoke again. ”Actually, even if I was a normal cat I still wouldn’t follow the rules. I’m not a big fan of rules. Are you?” he asked. He wasn’t just talking to Virsat alone, he was talking to his female friend as well so if she decided to she could jump into the conversation.

Angil looked up at Virsat when he said something about following rules. She was getting frustrated, so many things sem to be making her think of her father. He was a rule man as well. I like what Jaden thinks. Rules are only there for others to control you. She blurted out angrily to no one in particular. Her teeth clench a little thinking a little more on her past.

Oh boy. He’d had to pick one that was afraid to break a few rules here and there! Shoot, he’d thought for sure that Virsat was a bit of a rule breaker. If not that, then a rebel of some sort, really his hair was super long. No self respecting masculine guy would let his hair grow that long if he wasn’t out to break some kind of rule or rebel against some unspoken cause. But all the same, he did have a point. Not all rules. Some rules are just meant to be disobeyed. I mean if we followed the rules all the time we’d never have any fun. To my knowledge I’ve only got one life and I want to live it to the fullest. I can’t do that if I’m always following the rule and doing what others ask of me.”

H[/b]earing Virsat’s follow up question, Jaden sighed softly and rolled his eyes upwards. ”Honestly..no the consequences aren’t always worth the while. But the events before those consequences are put into action? Those are worth it.” he explained. He let out a low chuckle his tail still twitching lazily from side to side as he surveyed Angil after her little outburst. ”Angil gets it. Rules mean being controlled. Can you honestly sit there and say you enjoy being controlled? What about not being able to do, think, or say what you wanted? I wouldn’t be able to handle that. I’d end up snapping on someone.”

(I’m exhausted. Its almost three where I live. I’m going to bed now. Night and sorry about the late replies.)

Angil sighed to calm herself a little. She nodded when Virsat spoke again. That is true. Untill they get the courage to try to do things themselves. She looked at the drink in her hands. My father use to control me all the time. I was raised that way so I knew no different. But a boy came into town. He was alot like Jaden. He wondered from town to town doing whatever he wanted. I met him by chance in the market and we became friends. Father was furious that I made friends with someone like him. That was the first time I told him no...

(I’m on for the moment. I don’t know how long I’ll be on though. Today is my dad’s and my cousin’s birthday. So we may or may not be going out to celebrate. So if I disappear that’s why. ^^)

Jaden held in a sigh as he tried to make his point to Virsat. Although, clearly words weren’t helping the young (well somewhat young), and willful neko to prove a point, he liked to talk; he just preferred to do something besides stand about while he did it! ”Well I personally think its because the rule enforcers have a stick up their a-I mean butts.” Jaden said with a soft scowl. He’d almost cussed in front of Virsat but for some reason or another he’d stopped. It wasn’t like he thought Virsat hadn’t heard a muffled curse or to but there was an air of innocence, of absolute naiveté and cluelessness about the vampire, that made him seem very childish. Or maybe that was just Jaden’s impression of Virsat. ”Like I said it think it’s because the enforcers are miserable. They don’t get to have fun they have to enforce the rules, so to take out their anger and boredom they like to punish those of us those openly rebel against the rules. Because unlike them we, the rebels and rule breakers of the world, have the actual guts to go and do something that is forbidden and looked down on by others.” he explained.[/color]

Holy flying cows, he was using some big words, normally he minced his words and tried to keep it simple but right now he felt very…sophisticated. Who would have thought talking to a vampire would have this affect on him? It wasn’t like this was his first time meeting a vampire, and yet all the other vampires had ever done to him was bore him to death (not literally but they’d come very close to it) but with Virsat it wasn’t like that. He was different, not just in personality but in presence as well.

His thoughtful mood faded at the mention of cats and their numerous supply of lives.”Supposedly they do. I think its just a myth. And even if it wasn’t, there’s no way I’d ever put my life on the line to die for the breaking of one rule. I think I’d just as soon take a small beating,” he explained pausing to hold out a bare lightly tanned arm to show him the cross crossing of fading scars before he continued”rather than die. I’m not ready to go to hell yet..” he explained with a wry grin as he pulled his arm away.

Jaden’s nose wrinkled adorably in obvious dislike at the thought of someone being unable to live without someone else calling the shots.”Are you kidding me? Why? It doesn’t make sense. Its freedom, you’re finally allowed to do what you want, when you want, how you want to do it. It’s perfect, how could someone not function under those conditions?” he asked with a curious lilt of his head. His ears twitched slightly as Angil spoke up explaining how she’d went through a situation. Chuckling, Jaden didn’t bother to his grin as she mentioned meeting a boy like him.”And yet, people are always saying that rebels like me are no good. I will never understand when there are people like Angil who benefit from my services.”

As he continues running, acting like he is chasing Kiya, a small idea pops into Yuuichi's head. Oy little one, it works better when the place you are being chased in, isn't familiar to your pursuer. He starts dashing in and out of trees, making what looks to be a round-a-bout way to cut her off. By the way, what do I get if I catch you? Along with his words, Yuuichi sends an image of him winking at her.

Angil's eyes got wide when Jaden showed his marks on his arms. She was lucky that her father wasnt the beating kind. He came close once though. Luckily her mother was there to stop him. She tried to think more on the event but for some reason she couldnt remember. It just gave her a large headache. She closed here eyes and rubbed them. Angil then looked at Jaden in shock when he mentioned going to hell. Why would you go to hell? You dont seem like a bad person. You might have killed a couple of people, but that would have been because you were protecting yourself or another, right? She asked innocently.

Angil thought for a moment on Virsat's question. If he was doing it to protect anyone it would be himself. Father did not care for anyone without rank. If you had no power, then he wanted nothing to do with you, and he didnt want his family associating with you either.

((I'm going to be getting off soon. Gotta get back to work but I will be on around 930-10))

(lol my dad is getting closer to fifty and my cousin turned four. I had an alright time..but I felt kind of out of place at the party though. I didn’t really know anyone. On the bright side…the cake was awesome! ^^)

Jaden rolled his eyes softly as Virsat pointed out the flaw in his previous words. Uncertainties, unsmirchanties! True it was hard to function with uncertainties but you couldn’t let those uncertainties hold you back from finding your own person, from branching out and facing your fears. If you let the uncertainties rule you then you only ended up in more trouble. At least that’s what had happened to him. That’s how he’d learned to fake it until he made it. If he showed his uncertainties then he was screwed but he pretended to be confident then things tended to work to his advantage. And eventually the confidence he was trying to exude, to make others believe in, it was real. This just went to show that if one truly believed in something then it always worked out in the end.”Right. It’s hard. But it’s not impossible. he argued back with a victorious smirk. Ah! The end was near! He’d won this friendly little debate. At the moment, his smile bared an uncanny resemblance to the cat who’d eaten the cream. Right now he felt like a very happy and satisfied kitty.

At the mention of over protective fathers though the grin slid right off his face to be replaced by a vicious snarl.”Psha! There’s a difference between protective, and domineering. From what I’ve heard of Angil’s father he seems to have had a hard problem seeing that difference. Hmph, clearly you were raised in a very different time from me then because my dear loving father had no problem hurting me or my family.” he muttered darkly his tail lashing angrily from side to side. Clearly he wasn’t a family man, never had been and never would be. He loved his mom what sane person didn’t?! His mom had been an angel, a saint even. His dad on the other hand, that despicable man was one reason he’d possibly consider going to hell sooner than he intended. Not a good reason, but the scumbag had caused so much trouble and strife in his life it was hard not to want to get a little revenge.

Jaden let out a yowl of surprise as he heard Angil’s assumptions about him. His green eye widened as he spun around to face Angril the hairs on his tail standing straight up as he sputtered softly in surprise before he seemed to find his voice.”Excuse me?! Do I look like a killer to you?”he demanded hotly. Seeing the younger girl’s expression he hurried ahead to put those ideas to a halt.”I haven’t killed anyone! I might have sent a few jerks off to find a doctor but that’s it! I’ve never killed someone or raised a hand towards someone who didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not like my dad or those cheesy rule enforcers!” he hissed angrily his one good and uncovered eyes shooting o sparks of absolute anger his slender body trembling with barely contained anger.

(Thank you Angil! You just gave me an idea for Jaden’s past. Up until now I didn’t really have anything in mind for him but you just helped me out! Thanks ^^)

Angil jumped when Jaden snapped at her. Her body tensed and red was starting to flow from her pupils, covering her usually ice blue irises. I-I'm sorry It wasnt meant as an insult. Its just.... You seem like the type of person that would so what ever he had to protect himself or another person. She looked down, her eyes are now fully red, and somewhat a cold look. Even if you were to kill another you would still not be like those bastards. They harm out of hatred and ignorance. At least if you were to kill them, you would be doing this world a favor. Angil spoke with a much harsher, lower tone, rather than her usual sweet peppy voice.

Jaden wasn’t angered so much as insulted. True he was a little worse for wear, but did he truly look like a killer? He didn’t have a problem kicking an unwanted visitor out of the tavern and he certainly didn’t have a problem standing up for himself. But there was a fine line between defending and completely obliterating someone. His father had crossed that line; he didn’t want to even toe the line. Mostly because he was afraid of resembling his father in another way other than his appearance and..well killing was wrong. No matter how one looked at it, it wasn’t right. Then again considering some peoples situations like a vampires where said creature needed blood to survive it was a bit complicated. Heh when he looked at it that way if he ever decided to kill someone he’d kill someone the world could do without. A criminal or someone who’d committed a true crime.

He was brought of his thoughts by the feel of a cool hand sliding up and down his arm. Arching one eyebrow in silent question Jade turned to face Virsat a bemused making his lips curl up slightly as he looked at the vampire. Virsat didn’t have to say a word, Jaden had a pretty good idea what he was thinking. He’d seemed somewhat anger and he’d jumped to conclusions thinking he’d lash out at Angil. It was sad really, he’d just gotten through revealing a small part of his pas and he’d revealed quite a few of beliefs as well. Hitting someone in anger at a time like this was something he was very much against. Still, as scared as Virsat looked right now he was still trying to protect Angil. It was a touching gesture to say the least and the touch on his arm did feel very relaxing. Smiling he purred softly in contentment as he watched the hand stroking his arm. Hmm should he pretend to be mad still so Virsat wouldn’t stop? That would be something he’d usually do then again with the way things were going to today wasn’t a usual day-

His blood ran cold hearing Angil’s sweet voice turn harsh and cold. That was odd, he hadn’t thought the sweet tempered little elven girl possible of anything other than sweet and peppy and yet she didn’t seem to have any problem pulling off the dark menacing voice..A slight chill swept through him and his ear twitched tilting towards Angil as he watched her quietly.”Maybe I would..or maybe I’d just be stirring up more trouble. You didn’t know my dad; I’m a lot more like him than you know…even so that’s beside the point. You’re making out to be a saint and the last time I checked I was anything but that. Saints don’t go to hell.” he reminded the bare with a soft shrug of his slim shoulders a wry grin gracing his features as he continued to watch Angil.
