Jin slid a hand over her cheek, bringing his face even with hers. "I feel like I should say something cheesy, like, 'You life ends here!'." He laughed before placing his lips to hers and Kissing her. He rather suddenly deepened the kiss, drawing out what air she had as he stopped her heart. He broke the kiss and slid his hands around her so when she died the body wouldn't fall. He'd lie it on her bed and wait for her soul to leave her body.She be an angel free of heaven's command, a pure being hellcast, this would make her power unimaginable, and having already signed herself over to Jin, she was his. That kind of power in his hands... His one hope at ending the war that had gone on for far too long.

Her eyes widened in shock, then slowly closed once more as the life left her. It shamed her to admit, but had it not been for the fact that it was killing her, she probably would have enjoyed the kiss. Her body went limp, and she was left sitting in darkness. It was the most unusual experience of her life; she couldn't really move because she had no physical form, yet at the same time she could move everywhere and anywhere. It was like being air. She couldn't see anything, but she wasn't sure if that was because she had no sight, or because it was so dark already. Unsure of what to do, she flitted about in the darkness, looking (but not with her eyes) for anything that seemed it would make something happen.

Jin closed his eyes, his mentality temporarily leaving his mortal body to find her and bring her back. To her, now, he would appear as he usually did to her, because that was how she knew him. "Carol, come to me." He would take her sould with him to the small expanse between heaven and hell where she would gain a shape and become an angel.

((I'm sort of going by not all angels and demons look like people, most just have a human form to present to people. Jin's demon form is something totally different. Annet is, of course, a large spiderlike thing. XD ))

She looked around on reflex, and was surprised when her gaze found him not far from her. So I can still see...She drifted over to him. Let's see if I can talk. It took more effort than it should have, but she managed to ask, "What now?"

"Now, you come with me." He wrapped his arms around her and with a small rustle of his wings the surroundings came into view. The largest graveyard with prefect tomb stones in neat rows as far as the eye could see. Some held names, others did not. Every here and there, although rare, there were shattered headstones. "Those with names are souls that have been cast one way or another. You'll have one too of course. Everyone has one, except for those held in limbo. They wander the graves and tend to them until something pushes the scale. The broken stones, those are the banished. As long as your tombstone is whole, you may come and go from it as you please. If you 'die', that is where you end up. So if that arrow had peirced my heart while in a mortal body, or I had been shredded in battle, I'd end up in my stone and have to find my way back. It takes a while to find your way back after you die in the afterlife, and it hurts like hell, so it's something to avoid. There is only one being in all existance that has the power to break a tombstone, and only one being with power over that being. The lord controls the soul collector. The soul collector controls the souls and the Judge, impartial of course, sends people to heaven or hell after granting them their wings. You're here a bit early, so we;ll have to wait for the judge. You can wander until you're found, it doesn't matter where you go in this place, you're still here."

She looked up at him with wide eyes. "What about my body? Someone is bound to notice it eventually..." She had a lot of questions, but figured it best to go one at a time, starting with the most simple.

Ignore. >>

"I'll have to be rid of it." He said simply. "You'll be hosted in my body for the time being. It'll be a bit strange, and you'll end up seeing a lot of my personality I'd rather you didn't, but it will have to do for now." He said with a small uncomfortable smile. Somehow he pulled her into him, and he returned to his body. His soul was clearly visible next to hers, swirling colors, a bright brilliant green that seemed to be rotting with patches of black. Confusion and mixes of good and evil, and somehow lost. "Alright, let's clean this up..." He said as he lifted her stiffening body. "You can talk by the way, I'll hear you, but no one else will. Where should we put it?" He asked as he carried it out of th apartment. "It's pretty simple, a swamp or something would do, but humans have such attatchment to thier bodies. how about a neat mountain? At he very top, you'll be frozen in ice. By the time they find you, if they find you, they won't be able to identify you."

"This is weird..." She flitted around his soul, looking curiously. "You're so...bright. Not at all what I expected. Anyway...my body..." She shifted to look through his eyes. "Wow...I've really gained weight lately...Um...A mountain would be nice...Go ahead and do that." She shifted back to examine his soul, curiosity filling her.

"Leave it alone..." He said uncomfortably. "Who I am, who I choose to be, and who I've ended up as are all very different things."

With a snap they appeared at the top of a tall mountain. "Technically, we're dieing here together... since I'm abandoning the mortal body. It could almost be romantic..." he teased, his soul shifting within him.

"I'm not trying to tease you or anything...It's interesting. You have to see it from my point of view...I spent the last ten years studying your kind. I'm fascinated." She glanced around the mountain. "Pretty...I hardly believe anything involving you and I could ever be romantic, though."

"Most demons aren't like that, they'd consider me a flaw. I wasn't meant to become a demon until they killed Annet. I snapped, I did things that He could never forgive." The bodies fell into a gap in the ice and the souls manifested in Hell.

"Ah, that's better..." He said stretching, his body shifting through various shaped until he returned to his human form. This time however he let his wings stay folded in against his back, his hair long and a deep reddish brown, tied up in a messy bun. His eyes darkened to a rich blue, and his outfit changed to a black clothes of high quality.

They stood at the doors of a small black building, flaming on one side. "We'll start here, you'll recognize where we are once we're in." He pulled a large tassel and a bell rang. "She'll be able to give you a temporary form. We'll head back to the graveyard at your time, you'll get your wings and all then."

The door swung open and Annet stood in the doorway. "Oh, you two." She said with a smile. "I see you've gotten your way Jin. Carol, you look very... floaty. Come in, I'll get you a body, temporarily. Want to be a cat?" She offered as she scuttled back to let them in.

"I have no idea what I look like..." Carol frowned as she followed. "I feel like air...Or, what I would assume air feels like. I'd prefer to stay in a human form though..." She glaced at Jin. "So...now that I'm dead, have no idea what's going on, and pretty much am at your mercy, you wanna tell me what you're planning?"

"Sorry, I'm not going to knock someone off so you can have a body. You'll get one by nightfall. For now, you're a cat." She said with a snap of her fingers, directing Carol's soul into a cat. She picked her up, "Aw, you're adorable! No peeing on my rug." She gave Carol to Jin who took the cat with an uncertain look. "I hope you gave her vocal chords."

"Of course. Pet her, most cat's like that."

Jin looked even more confused and followed Annet down the hall.

Carol glared at Annet, most displeased with the arrangement. "I don't want to be a cat! And I don't-" She struggled against Jin. "-Want to be held!" She really hoped her words were coming out in English and not cat-speak. "Put. Me. Down!"

Jin grinned. "No." He said as he cuddled her. "Annet's right, you're cute like this. Stop struggling." He said as he shifted her, scratching behind her ear.

She only struggled more, annoyed. "I'm not cute, I'm irritated! Let go! This is exactly why I wanted to be human, so you couldn't do this kind of stuff!"

"Ah ah, I said stop struggling, don't forget, there are consequences for disobeying." He said as he gave her tail a tug. "Annet needs to alter the spells, it's easier for her to put them on your soul rather than a body."

She cried out in pain, hissing at him. "Let me walk on my own and I'll stop struggling!" She yelled, pushing against his chest with her front paws.

Jin kissed her nose, "Quiet now, you're making a fuss."

"Give her to me, I'll modify the spells." Annet said with a small laugh.

"Not yet, this is fun..."

"Don't you dare!" She shrieked, violently shaking her head. "Put me down, put me down, put me down!"

"Don't I dare what? What do you think I'm going to do?"

"Jin, we don't have a lot of time. You want to ensure she's able to tolerate a hellish enviornment, right?"

"Hang on Annet."

"This is a hellish environment!" She hissed at him again. "Put me down right this instant! Now, now, now!" She returned to struggling, trashing angrily. "Put me down, put me down, put me down, down, down!"

"Seriously, calm down Carol, you're bound to me remember? I can't control the punishment if you directly disobey." He said calmly.

She stopped fighting, but a low growl emanated in her chest. "Please put me down," she hissed through her teeth.
