After finally sheathing his katana, hearing a male's voice come up from behind. Sebastian simply turned his head right to the side noticing how there was a male standing at the doorway complimenting him on his combat skill. With a little smile and a quick nod of his own head, he stared right over back at the dead evil shikabane on the ground than back at the man. "Thank you for the compliment, your welcome for killing that thing." he replied, pointing right down at the severed bodies of the beast. "So would I be right if I asked if that thing would be one of those evil shikabane?...or am I just imagining things?" Sebastian asked keeping his eyes on the man standing at the doorway while his own hand pointed toward the killed beast on the ground.

While standing there still awaiting for a chance to speak up later on, Kuro's own attention immediately swung over toward the direction of the entrance into the room. It had seemed to be another female that had just walked right into the room, completely unaware for the moment if the girl was a human or another shikabane Kuro minded his own business and stared back over toward the male and princess speaking. He didn't know anyone around here at all, so if Kuro ended up speaking to someone who he didn't even know; there was a chance that he might get into some trouble of his own. Only to end up having a fight on his hands, and that was the last thing he was planning on starting around here at all or even fighting in general.

Mai smiled softly at the boy when he looked at her. The least I can do is be polite. She covered her mouth to hide her yawn as she looked back at the man who was speaking with the princess. Her mind wondered a bit as she tried to decide if the man was a human or shinabake. Deciding upon he was probably human her thoughts drifted to why a human would be here of all places and to if the boy was also human.

Rogue just statred at Nikita and he started talking about a second chance of life for her. But her eyes narrowed a little as she heard how to regain life again, "I will not do such a thing." she growled a little in her speech, "I can not forgive my regrets because it is all I have left of my family and knowing that they love me is enough and I refuse to kill a human being just to live again. I'd would rather live the immortal life of a shikabane then kill then innocent person that killed me. I died because the weather and the driver behind the wheel of the bus couldn't stop..." Rogue started to shake as she brought her knees up, "the ice was too slippery, I knew I was going to die and there was nothing I could do to stop it." she said in a soft voice as she looked down in sadness. "I forgave that driver and accepted being a shikabane hime, helping the humans not experience the same pain I felt 3 years ago." Rogue said looking at Nikita as she slipped more into her throne.

With what the princess had said right after about how she was refusing to both forgive her own regrets and refuse to kill a human being just like how Kuro couldn't accept the fact of forgiving his regrets due to him going mad; and not killing his father because of his own worry about how his mother would react to that. He tilted his own head curiously and straightened his stance a bit more rather than leaning against the back wall. Who would've thought that the princess of shikabane would feel that way about herself and about the humans; Kuro had thought for sure that the shikabanes would all love to become human once more. To have a second chance at life. For Kuro however, he didn't really seem to want to become human anymore since he wasn't sure if he could do either of those two things that could make him human again. As he took one step forward from the wall to speak up, Kuro's own eyes widened up as he stopped as soon as his foot moved forward. He would've interpreted and said something; but it was just the problem of he wasn't sure what to really say but that he agreed with what the princess thought about how to become human once more. "Excuse my interruption..but if I may have a word." Kuro finally spoke up again with his usual soft tone as he stood back near the wall rather than walk forward to where the other male was standing as well. "Sir..if what you say is true, that those two ways are how one may become human once more. You must realize and understand..forgiving ones self is near a complete impossibility, what your telling them to do is almost as though your telling them to forget everything and everyone they once held dear to them..and taking ones life..if you think about it..that won't solve just your own problem of becoming human once more; but it shall also make the person you killed want vegance on you as a shikabane themselves. They will simply come back and try to kill you..than you shall kill them; killing someone who killed you..will simply cause an endless cycle of death and pain."

The sunlight streamed into the small bedroom, it peeked in from in between the small crack in the dark curtains that hung over the window near the bed. Under the covers a form shifted and a hand and arm emerged. Pulling off the covers, a small girl with light blond short hair and piercing green eyes emerged from under the covers. Running a hand through her hair the girl sat up, running a hand through her shaggy short hair she reaches over for the clock. It was well into the afternoon. Going through morning routines and dressing she makes her way out the door sliding a pack of smokes into her pocket. Exiting her small room she locks the door, spinning the keys around her index finger she whistles and makes her way to the stairs. She lived on the top floor and descended the stairs quickly by forming into smoke and reforming at the end on the lower level. Reforming her body she gazes around and exits out a side door. Upon opening the door she shields her eyes from the sun glare and blinks a few times before making her way down the street. She was on her way to well no where in particular. Sliding her hand casually into her pocket she pulls out the pack of smokes and taps it, then pulls out the cigarette gently with her teeth. Pulling a zippo out once she puts the pack back in the pocket she lights her 'cancer on a stick' as her aunt so fondly called it and took a drag, while walking down the street.

Her aunt knew what shew as and still loved her for it her uncle however was a total punk and wouldn't allow her back in the house. Her aunt though bless her soul kept her up and got her an affordable apartment she even sent her money from time to time. Chiel would go visit her dear aunt if not for her uncle, but as it were she, had not talked to her aunt in two years since the accident. Letting out a puff of smoke Chiel got lost in the scene of her death that played within her mind that she payed no attention to where she walked she just let her combat boot clad feed carry her where ever down the sidewalk.

Bright light filtered through the curtains to Zackery's room and he groaned. "Close the curtains Angel." He ordered. "But Master it is time to get up." A petite female voice replied. "Close the damn curtains." His voice was much more firm now and the sunlight was gone. "Thank you. Now go have some fun. I'm tired." "Yes, of course Master." Angela left and Zackery snuggled deeper into the covers. Sleep was nice.

Angela Hollows walked down the street to an ice cream parlor. Zackery was filthy rich due to his murders so she had money on her credit card. She quickly bought her favorite chocolate banana. She left and went to a park sitting on a bench. The children were so cute.

Dull was now perched on top of another building, coincidentally, in a neighborhood that seemed quieter, she licked the blood from the previous splatter from her hand. The chaos was still going on in the distance, but it was not her concern now. The blue haired girl now wanted to look for new Shikabane allies to train in her likeness and be as killer as she, because most of the Shikabane she saw were pretty weak at most. Standing up, her boots, now sharpened up and spiked to perfection, were going to get some blood stains.

Her feet left the building, and landed on the concrete with a soft metallic click. First, she was going to get new treats to make up for the ones she had lost before, throwing them at that foolish Nova. Her fist clenched, people always had to ruin her fun. She angrily bit the curve of her candy cane, though she wasn't able to break it off, it did calm her down to taste something sweet in her mouth. She looked around, the nearest candy store was a small one, but there were so many of her favorite treats in there, she couldn't resist. Goldish eyes flickered around, and spotted 2 men nearby, one with a sword, and that swordsman seemed to slay a Shikabane, seeing as there was a bit of blood on the walls of the inside of the building that she had to strain her eyes to see. They were a ways off, so she didn't worry. Her large sharp treat in the air, she smashed the window into pieces, causing an alarm. So she climbed in through the broken glass to find the source of the horrid noise. When she found it, she took it from it's place on the wall and threw it to the floor. Her spiked boot made contact with the mechanism, smashing it to pieces and thereby silencing the loud alarm.

And there she sat, on the cashier table, savoring her new treats. Why didn't the cashier stop her? Well, he was on the ground of course, blood spurting out from several holes on his dead body. Dull laughed, a seemingly cute, innocent laugh coming from a girl who was licking the blood off her candy cane from her latest murder.

[[....am I getting to detailed with the bloody scenes? :<]]

"Im only saying the ways that have been completed by the others that have Regained their lives, we wish to find more ways, because we know that those two are above most difficult. Why do you think we of the Nova Program Stay in touch with Shikabane?" He explained.

"The name is Nova 2, Im with the Human/Shikabane nova program. Yes that was a Devilish Shikabane, but among the weak of them "He explained to him.

"Nova Airsupport has spotted the target! She is in Vecctor Oscar Mike, Beginning Air-Assault!" Nova 4 called threw the Comm link. He and Nova 3 then began Firing Mounted turrets at the girl.

Sighing, Dull frowned, why the damn Novas? One, they were everywhere, and two, they were annoying as hell. She put her treat down slowly, before taking her candy cane and drawing 2 circles right next to one another into the air, one leading to her world, one leading out. The bullets came, and went through the first portal, and came out the other one. She was practically redirecting the turret's bullets right back at people who fired them. But, there were some that made contact, on her arm, one had scraped it, leaving a pretty deep wound. "Neh, how boring." She said to herself, throwing her treats into the portal she made behind her. She could only make three at once, since making another one made the other one disappear. But, they stayed open until she opened up new portals somewhere else.

As she walked through, she opened two new portals [somewhere else in the city.], but left the third one from the store she had just robbed, open. Why? She wanted playmates, and she wanted to see if the two men were brave enough to enter her insane dreamland.

"Come on we are going in!" Nova 3 began to enter "But Nova 3, you heard the Reports on what it does to humans-"nova 4 began, but what cut off "We used to be Shikabane Remember? We can handle this." He said, then both of them walked into the portal.

Rogue tilted her head when her assassin walked in and when the boy from earlier spoke out. She smiled a little as he spoke and Nikita replied with his response. "We believed it was because you did not wish to have more humans meet the same fate as we did." she said stands up and walked down the stairs elegantly, "Mr. Nikita, many of the shikabane would love to human again I'm sure, but many of the shikabane in the city come from poorer parts of the cities worldwide and most of them are from the earlier centuries. Do you really think it is wise for them to find out that their families are no longer alive and that they have nowhere to go?" she said as she gently pleased her hand on Nikita's cheek. "I consider this life a blessing. I am not be able to see my family but I am happy to find out that they are ok." Rogue said softly as she moved her hand from his face, knowing the smell of the shikabane is overwhelming and the touch of one is as cold as ice.

nikita was used to feel and touch of a Shikabane, having been one himself. He took the princess hand and kissed it "Then let me Give Life back to the ones that want it. To the ones that understand abou their familys. I dont doubt that you may now have reason to stay here, but let the others go free."

Used to be? Dull though, before giggling,"Looks like you two were stupid enough to enter here," She smiled oh-so-innocently at the men a few feet away from her. She put her hands out before her,"Welcome! Ex-shikabanes, to the insanity that is my mind!~" She had a wicked smile on her face, she gestured to the two portals next the the two, a few feet away,"There's your exits, if any of you can't handle scary illusions." One portal led right outside of the store, in plain sight, the other, was in an alleyway near the hustle and bustle of the city.

She waved her hand, and a large, non-curved candy cane came out of the ground, right under the girls feet. This lifted her up quite a bit, causing her to look down on the two ex-shikabanes. "Will you play or will you flee? I control almost everything here, its my world after all." She looked out of the corner of her eye, the man she had captured earlier was escaping though the open portal that led to the outside of the store.

"Only problem is, its so easy to escape from here." A hard gush of wind threw the poor cashier man off his feet, throwing him out. Sadly, he crashed into another building, "Well, thats the end of him!~" She put her attention back on the Novas,"I'll be nice, you can leave, I don't like killing those of my kind, even if you two are now humans." She grinned,"This is your last chance~"

Zackery yawned and sat up in his bed. Angela had been gone a long time considering how late it was. "Might as well go find her." He said to himself and got dressed. He left his house and dodged the attack of a good Shikabane. They knew where he lived but no one could beat him. They also never attacked him when Angela was around. He sighed and kept walking ignoring the little Shikabane girl. She was a child and tried to beat him a lot. He didn't kill her because of her age but she was pretty annoying. "Go home. I'm busy." She let out a little aw and left. She would probably ask him to buy her ice cream later. She tried to beat him but they had become friends regardless. He was considered a 'bad' Shikabane because he continued to murder people. He wasn't a truly evil person though.

Angela was playing with some children at the park. They were all so cute!

Mai stayed silent as she listened, her features remaining emotionless though on the inside the topic was very emotional for her. Anger boiled in her heart at the thought of how she died and being able to become human again by killing the man who murdered her or by forgiving herself. Without realizing it she had clutched her hands into fists and moved away from the wall. She wanted to speak, but held her tongue.

After listening to what the male said about those being only two ways that they knew how shikabane could become humans again and that there were possibilities that there could be other ways out there. Kuro simply stood there and stayed quiet after that, he wasn't too shocked or interested to the fact that there were chances of becoming human again since he wasn't even sure if becoming his human self again would be the best opinion for him. Even if he were to decide to become human again and finally be able to know that he was simply alive again; it didn't change the obvious fact that his father would probably try to kill him again let alone his mother wouldn't really accept her own child after coming back from the dead since Kuro had been dead for about three years anyway. So right after that, listening to the princess speak once more only to see her walking down the stairs to her throne and up to the young male to simply touch his face and see the male take the princess's hand to give it a kiss. Listening to the obvious knowledge that came from the princess Kuro simply nodded to himself; maybe he should consider himself lucky to be the undead like this rather than be alive. Crossing his legs he sat right onto the floor and pulled off the right glove on his hand and looked at the top of his own hand, noticing the small purplish glow of the mark on his hand. It burned slightly but not to the point that it hurt; but more rather a warm burning feeling that kept increasing every second.

Hearing the man's name, Sebastian simply gave a little nod glaring down at the beast most of the time tapping it's upper half body with his shoe. No doubt the thing was obviously dead and hearing that it was only one of the weak ones; Sebastian took his attention back toward the male thinking that he probably is safe enough to trust for now. "My name is Sebastian Michaelis." he stated keeping the fact that he was the leader of a group of assassin hidden rather than blurt out something like that all of a sudden.

"We dont wish to bring you any harm,but we have orders from the ShikbaneHime to either kill yo, or Capture you andf bring you to them. We dont want any trouble, but that is whats coming if you dont cooperate." He said, Nova 3 was puttng hisweapon on his back and standing near the portal, obviousy nervous.

"Huh, Never met you Assasins Group before, The only one that has ever dealt with other Assasins was Nova 6 and Nova1 "Nova 2 told him.

"Hmm? Cooperate you say? I know nothing of the word!~" In an instant, the dead bodies of those she had slaughtered before fell to the ground,"But I'll tell you what, you go contact your little friends that you have me, but! You cannot tell anyone I spared you two okay?" She snapped her fingers, and the men were surrounded by thousands of sharpened candy canes,"Or else I'll leave lots of little bleeding holes on your living bodies, understand?" Just as quick as they came, the candy canes disappeared, as Dull jumped off her large candy and stood in front of them,"No restraints either, I can be very obedient, but if you cuff me I'll eat your eyes for dinner." With that she walked out of the portal and back to the real world, she bowed, taking her hat off and putting it against her chest,"After you ladies~" She said, snickering to herself. Her sharp candy cane was now in Dull's mouth, now eating the sweet treat.

"I dont trust her......But I guess we will play along.....for now..." Nova 4 told 3. They then walked threw and lead her to thier helicopter "Get on, we are going to head to Nova base."

[Sorry if its short, all my charecters are scattered.]

((Uhh..I never spoke out about the assassin's group. He thought about it, but he didn't speak out saying that he was part or even the fact that he was the leader of the group of assassins.))

When the man had suddenly spoke up about never hearing about Sebastian's assassin group, he wasn't too surprised about the fact that he didn't know about them. He had made sure that his group was completely secretive to the point that no one would notice them or really learn about their reputation. Although the one shocking thing was the fact that he knew that he was even in an assassin's group in general. "I'm not surprised you don't know about us. But its best you don't learn too much about us in general. Its better off you don't know about us." Sebastian spoke with his little smile on his face the whole time.

Nova 2 Moved the upper half of the Shikabanes body and looked under the bar counter, then pulled out two semi-dusty glasses and a bottle of Deadmans Watch. "Heheh, The Nova program is based off of battle harden War-lords. A Vietnamese, a German, A Romanian, Two Russians, and a Japanese, the Japanese is nova 3"

Looking right over toward the man on how he walked behind the bar counter only to end up taking out two slightly dusty glasses and a bottle of liquor as it seemed. It didn't take much to realize that this man was planning on getting a drink for both himself and Sebastien. Stepping right over toward the man, he sat right onto one of the stools on the other side of the bar counter from the man and took one of the empty glasses; blowing right into it to let the dust out. "Ah..so thats it huh?..so I'm guessing your organization is working on taking out those types of shikabane?" he asked pointing right down at the severed body of the evil shikabane on the ground.

"The Normal missions for us are Ascension, SND, Sabotouge, Assasination, the useual Covert operations"He explained, blowing dust out of his glass and pouring a glass for both him and the Assasin.

Dulls eyes widened,"A helicopter!?~ She said, shocked, this want something she was expecting, and instead of complying, ran off and back into her portal, closing it behind her, which in turn left the two Novas with no way to get her back. All the while, saying,"Machines are evil!" It wasn't that she didn't know what they were, she just hated using machines to get to places. She was a daughter of a family of undertakers, everything was old fashioned to them and she liked it that way. She ran through her dream world, and came out from the side of a building, she fell face first, and her hat got caught on the flag pole which stuck out the side of the wall. She grumbled a bit, before getting up. She looked through the window of the building, and saw 2 men, and she didn't have to stay long, she heard the word 'Nova,' before she panicked. They had those weird flying machines of death, and she wasn't going anywhere near those things. Then she noticed a slight draft above her head, she felt her head, my hat! She thought, looking around frantically. She felt a lolipop hit her head from above, and looked up, there is was, hanging on a flagpole that stuck out from the wall. She jumped up, grabbing the flagpole, and taking her hat with little difficulty. The pole was pretty old, and was about to fall off, and Dull just sped up the process by grabbing on to it,"Shit." She mumbled before the screws came loose, and she fell to the floor, the pole crashing down after her. A loud crashing was heard, and a few people who were passing by, were checking to make sure the poor girl was okay.

She certainly didn't look like it a cut on her arm, bruises on her legs, a few scratches on her face, and some scraped knees, she looked poor. But she had gotten her hat, so she was a ok. Standing up slowly, she walked away, blood dripping from her arm, from the crowd, she would have to regenerate back at her world after this massacre. Though, she didn't get so see the Shikabane Hime, she thought she had killed enough people today.

"Hey little girl!" Nova 3 called to her before she ran into the portal. They were about to go and look for her when they heard a Crash from what sounded like a metal pole. "Il go see." He said then ran off. He found her among more bodys and held out his hand. "Hey, why did you run off like that?" He asked. he was completely un-armed.
