Casimir smirked as he sauntered away from the other hunters. They were all babbling about finding clues and how impossible it was. With a shrug, the man with hair the color of chocolate looked down at the scrap of paper in his hand. He read over it once more, then plucked a lighter from his back pocket and set it aflame. There was no way he wanted to help the other hunters; as a whole Casimir found them rather useless and irritating.

There was also the little fact that they wanted nothing more then to see him fail after so many successful hunts on his part. The thought trailed off as he slung a leg over his apple red motorcycle to set off on his hunt with a roar. The young man smiled to himself as he stopped near the orphanage's address.

Once inside he began questioning people; the same questions left Casimir's lips more then he cared to count, but it was worth it. With a self satisfied smile the grey eyed man returned to the road and headed towards the demon's last known location.

Akito strolled out on his own with a annoying bright neon green back pack. He had grown awfully tired off that orphanage and so once again he had run away from them. But this time he would not be returning. Akito was set on remembering who he was. He looked up at the almost full waxing moon and sighed. Tomorrow he would have to travel during the day and hide at night. He hated it but there was no other way around it. He couldn't have anyone finding out his secret. Shaking these thoughts off Akito moved forward. What was he anyways? He was so pale, he had raven black hair, but what told him that he wasn't exactly human was his crimson eyes. Just what had crimson eyes? He didn't know. Did he want to know, though?

The demon hunter steered his bike off the road for a moment to rest and think over the information he'd gathered. Apparently the demon he hunted had a tendency to run away from the orphanage, and usually took the same route. The young man didn't know what he was. Casimir laughed at the thought of befriending him, only in order to finish his hunt later. There was a certain delicious irony to it all, considering that a demon had once tried to befriend him in order to bring about his end.

It was then that he saw it. A bright green color caught the hunter's grey eyes and soon the person it belonged to came into focus. The young man seemed to match the demon's description... What a marvelous stroke of luck! With a roar he set off once more, making sure to slow down as he approached the young demon. "Hey, what are you doing traveling alone? He smiled, thinking of the dangers the demon was exposing himself to unknowingly.

For some reason Akito felt nervous. He could almost feel something bad lurking in the shadows. It was as if he expected death to come snatch him up from the night. Then he shivered, sensing a stare Peirce through his core. Someone or something wished him not only dead, but nothing more of even his ashes. He could tell just by the sense of an animal with it's predictor near by. A roar came towards him and he looked at the man who was ready to pounce. Akito looked back coldly, hiding his fear of dying. "What is wrong with enjoying a midnight walk on your own? Plenty of people do it, you know?"

"They aren't usually alone. Don't you know it isn't safe? Someone might come snatch you away." The comedy of the whole situation had the young hunter grinning. It was rather surprising to see just how close in age he was to the demon he hunted, though that probably was simply an illusion. Slowing the bike to a stop, he leaned against the roadside to peer casually at the other man's feature's. Red eyes were a dead giveaway to the truth of the matter. Almost against his will, he spoke something he knew would get him into a world of trouble later on. "Don't you want to know what you are?"

Akito almost glared at him. It was as if he was being more of threatened by the man's words than it was a joke. He would fight if he had to, of course. But somehow he knew this guy would just beat him as he was currently. Something told Akito that he could win, but not right now. He glanced at the moon, suddenly wishing that it was full. Was that what he was missing? Akito was pulled from these thoughts as he looked at the man in surprise. He had been wondering it himself all these years. Whenever Akito got wounded they would heal up the next second and be completely gone in a minute, not to add his crimson eyes and his strange change on a full moon that he could never clearly remember. "You know what I am?" Akito couldn't help but sound excited even though he did not trust this man.

He laughed lightly at the demon's words. "Oh, I know... Though with your attitude? There's no way I'm telling you." With a smooth kick Casimir started his bike again and waved at Akito casually. "See you later, kid." It was going to be quite a treat to watch his reaction... In fact Caz was more then looking forward to it.

With the thought he pushed off and began driving away at a slow pace, hoping to hear the sound of a voice calling him back. Friendship, then the ending of a life, what more could any hunter once hunted hope for? It was his vengeance all wrapped up into one.

Akito quickly reached out without much thought. This man knew who he was. Akito had tried so had to remember himself but he never could. There was no way he was going to just let this chance slip through his fingers. He wouldn't let go even if the information was little or almost useless. He wanted to know so badly, so, so badly. "Wait!" Akito yelled over the roar of the bike. He knew that even if he couldn't completely trust this man yet, he could learn to cope. Anything to get his memories back would make him happy.

A delighted smile quivered at the hunter's lips as he slowed the bike at the sound of the demon's cry. The man with dark brown hair looked back over his leather clad shoulder at the one he hunted. "Yeah, what do you want?" He appeared completely disinterested, and in fact he truly was. All Casimir wanted to do was finish his job, collect the bounty, and retire.

Akito looked at the man who could slip from his reach at any moment. He could feel the danger of the man drifting away from his grasp. He had to hold one no matter what. Without a second thought Akito dashed over, his crimson eyes pleading for the man to stay. Maybe this was just a desperate attempt but this was the only chance he would get. "You have to tell me who I am. Please.... If I never find out I will regret it. I know I am missing a lot but I want to remember no matter what. So please don't go!"

He tried to smile kindly at the young man, but it came out more as a smirk. Casimir thought he might very well enjoy this play he was orchestrating. "I don't know if telling you right away is such a good idea... Tell me, were you going anywhere specific? I could drop by now and then to give you some clues." Learning that he was the prince of demons might have adverse effects on the young man, ones that the hunter rather wanted to avoid. A burst of power at the realization would make his work impossible!

Akito sighed at his question. He hadn't really thought it out himself. He didn't belong anywhere. Every place he went people would point and stare. It made him feel inhuman. Was he ever one at all? He knew he didn't belong here. But then where did he belong? "I am not really sure. I was thinking I could start out in the place I was found. I was hoping I might get information that way. Someone has to know who took me to that city. There could of been a witness or even someone who knew about the one who left me all those years ago."

Casimir had a pretty good idea what Akito was, and even a theory about who the younger man was, but he had no intention of saying anything until much later... "I'll give you a ride there then, and maybe drop a hint or two along the way. For example, haven't you ever wondered why your eyes are red? Maybe reading up on legends might help." If the boy started suspecting what he was on his own, then it would be much less of a shock for him when he found out. Of course, Casimir didn't really plan on letting things proceed for that long.

He shifted upon his motorcycle, tightening his hold upon the handlebars and reveling in the chase he was creating for himself. A possible demon prince at his mercy was a rather pleasant thought. Playing with the other man's emotions and mind was truly going to be quite fun, more then the hunter had managed to have in years.

Akito looked at the man before him. Was he being serious with him? Out of no where he offered a ride. Something in Akito didn't like this, no, hated this. Just looking at this man he got the urge to choke him. But why? Did a part of him still remember? He hesitated, not wanting to get on. "I would much rather walk. I don't know you at all. Not to add I never said where this place was. If I had of gotten on you wouldn't take me to the right place. So I am better just going on my own." Akito spoke more coldly this time before he turned away from the man. Somehow he felt relief that he had a chance to escape.

Casimir shrugged with a smile then revved his motorcycle into action. It roared loudly as he pushed it to greater speeds while reaching out with a strong arm to try and catch the boy before he had gone too far. If it didn't work he would choose to slip the vehicle in front of the young man to stop his way. "I won't be letting you leave my sight. You're more important in the scheme of things then you rightly known, and that importance might be much more then even I know. I want to find out who you are as much as you do." It would be much easier to decide what to do with the demon once he knew what true importance he had. There was still that chance that he was the lost prince...

Akito jolted as he was grabbed by the man. Now he was more than sure he was in grave danger. He tried to escape but it was useless. Something inside him said he could do nothing right now. But he could once he knew who he was. He glared at the man, giving up the fight for the moment. "Then you lied about knowing me. How much do you know? You probably only know where I really come from. I doubt you even know my real name. But even I don't know it. They don't even bother to name kids at an orphanage. But I don't think I came from the town they found me. Maybe I'm not even from this world..."

He settled the dark haired demon in front of him and set his arms firmly around Akito, onto the handlebars of his motorcycle. "No I don't know your name, but I do know what you are. And you're right, you aren't exactly from around these parts. Not of this world is a pretty close thing to say about it all." The bike roared off once more, down the road and towards the outskirts of the city. There he stopped once more, settling the bike down upon dark concrete in front of a cozy looking motel. "You were running away, I'm just going to help you do that. Now come on, I need to go and reserve a room for us." Slipping off the metal vehicle, he motioned for the young man he'd just kidnapped to follow him. His prize wasn't going to slip away, not if there was anything he could do about it.

Akito huffed as he watched the house zoom behind them. He didn't like anything about this. Not to add that the full moon was tomorrow. What would happen if they went outside on a full moon? Even Akito could never recall those nights. He had always wondered what might happen anyways. Maybe he would finally find out. Once at the hotel he slipped off the bike and looked at the man in question. Could he trust him to say what would happen? "I will cooperate if you tell me what happens to me on the up coming full moon. If you can explain it I will follow you without question. I will know if you lie though. I have always been able to tell when people lie to me."

He regarded the young man carefully before nodding and holding out his hand. "Alright, I'll do that. You've picked my curiosity." Casimir was planning on telling Akito what he was anyway, it would just be sooner then he'd first imagine. The full moon ... The hunter did wonder what effect it might have upon the demon, and possible prince. Surely knowing of it might give him some advantage ....

Still unsure of weather to trust this man or not, Akito hesitantly moved forward. He was awkward around other people anyways. He found himself questioning them a lot. He simply didn't understand why they would do what they did. He found himself misunderstood and out of place because of this. It was also a reason he did not trust others. His crimson eyes looked at the man's hand and slowly took it. Compared to his own hand, this man's hand was much warmer. Akito's hands were always ice cold.

He gave the red eyed man an odd look upon having his hand taken. It was such an unexpected action, making Casimir automatically close his hand tightly around the other limb in what he thought of as reassurance. He hadn't actually thought Akito would react so favorably.. and he had such a cold hand it was too ... With a shake of his head, he motioned towards the hotel and took the lead in walking inside. He thought Akito would follow him, even when he paid for the hotel room, but Casimir couldn't be entirely sure.

Soon enough, the dark haired man was unlocking the door and throwing his luggage inside without a care for the contents. "We're going to have to talk about what we want to do. You said there was someplace you wanted to go?" Now that they were away from a public place, it would be so much easier to speak of such things.

((Is it okay that I kind of hurried them towards the hotel room? ))

Akito followed the man silently. He didn't get much of a chance to get a look at the hotel but it seemed nice. He tried to remember the exists if he needed an escape route. He doubted he would use them anyways. The quickest way was to jump out a window. He still didn't entirely trust this man so knowing a way out would be for the best. It was't like he could be killed so easily anyways. Akito rarely ever slept while other humans slept almost every night. Once inside the room Akito sat near the window. He felt the safest near it, at the moment. "Yes, that's correct. The city I was found in was named Rein a long time ago."

((Don't worry about it.))

"Rein you said?" Hadn't there been a battle between the hunters and demons there a while ago? It seemed that the theories about the demon with him that most hunters held had more truth in them then most realized. Perhaps he truly was the lost demon prince. It had been a nebulous idea floating constantly at the fore of Casimir's mind, but now things shifted of themselves so that it was more of a certainty.

"You're in luck, I know where that is. Speaking of me, my name is Casimir. And you are?" They would be traveling together for a while and it would have seemed suspicious for him not to ask for the young man's name. It was going to make things more difficult later on when the hunter finally did his work though ..

Akito looked up in hope but remained relax. So then he did have a chance. But how long could he stay with this man? He had a bad feeling about this guy. He decided that he would stay around until he had a good clue of who he might be and then make an escape. He didn't plan to stick around long enough that he would be fooled and blinded. Akito stared at the man who called himself Casimir and sighed. "I don't know. The people at the orphanage said my original name was Akito but you can never be sure."

It almost made him feel sad for the young man, almost. "Hopefully going to this city will help you find out more about yourself." A hint of his sincere feelings slipped through, making Casimir decide to turn away to fiddle with his luggage. "In the mean time, why don't you pick a movie, order in some food?" He threw a remote to Akito, then turned back to pulling out his sleep clothes. He intended on taking a shower, if he wasn't prevented from doing so.
