Rain said nothing, simply looking at what was left of her sister. She couldn’t look up at Michi, not wanting to explain anything. She was not Dante’s biggest fan but for a moment she gave him a look of actual gratitude….though anger would quickly take over her features as the atlantian spoke. Her eyes narrowed instantly and slid to her. How dare someone refer to her sister that way….

She clung to the small frail body, whos existence she only had just discovered…It was the only thing that kept her from standing and smacking the woman hard. Her mismatched eyes flashed, her mouth sitting into a frown. “Never talk about my sister…I don’t’ know how she got this second life, but she got it and you’ve no right to say it shouldn’t be…….No right to say a damn thing about her .” She snapped, her tears still falling. She wanted to curse at the woman but she couldn’t……not with lily’s face still pressed against her chest….even if Lily could no longer hear her… She then stood, carrying the small frail body towards the outside…..wanting to bury her but not knowing where….




((XD She's angry and sad so wants to take it out on someone.... and yes she has no idea how this happened XD she didn't make lily this way <.<))

Michi

Michi's eyes saddened and she nodded.
"Then...we get bad man right?"
She knew that Lily had died once...by the bad man...Lily wouldnt ever really be gone...just like here parents wouldnt.
"Michi is glad she knew Lily..."
She smiled at Dante.
"Michi has new memories, so Lily really isnt gone. Like my mommy and daddy."

[[ bet you werent expecting that :} ]]

( It's better than her last reaction. =D )

Dante perked up at Michi's repsonse. "No. Dante and Rain with get the big bad guy. Michi is stay where it's safe so that she doesn't get hurt." He frowned a bit at what he'd just said. Baby talk. It was... weird. He messed the girl's hair up with a soft smile. "They'll always be in your dreams, Michi. Never forget them. The only time someone truly dies is when they are no longer remembered, so try very hard, alright?"

Michi

Michi smiled and hugged Dante tight.
"Dante wants to keep Michi safe? "
She put this memory into her head, making sure to keep it safe.
"Michi will never forget anyone here."
Cuddling him close she whispered.
"Michi will never forget Dante. Michi promises..."
She laughed and held a hand up to emphasize.

The red-eyed girl stared calmly into the angered face of the bereaved sister. If hitting her would relieve her sorrow, Chie would have stood quietly and let her... but the anger towards Chie was fragile. It was like watching a wounded beast, only Chie felt nothing for her. All their lives were so fleeting to her, like tiny blips on a radar that vanished as quickly as they'd come. The woman berated her, telling her that it was her sister's second life and that she had no right to say anything. The long-haired child sighed. "When will you beings understand..." she murmured quietly to herself, rising gracefully from her seat on the couch and silently following the woman named Rain who carried her dead sister Lily. Unable to help herself, Chie lifted the girl's thoughts from her mind... "South of here by half a mile is a valley filled with flowers, perhaps it would be a good place?" She offered a burial site in an attempt to be somewhat helpful. The small girl sighed, glancing up at the woman's face - no doubt she was still angry with her. "Forgive my rudeness. When you have lived as long as I you grow callous and numb to death." She turned slightly and strode out the door with light, dancer's steps. Crossing the inn's yard, Chie approached the pink-haired child and the grouchy man as they made their promise.

Dante chuckled and leaned back against the wall again. "Thank you, Michi. Now I know I'll never die. I feel like an immortal." He looked back to the girl, then to his pocket as it rang. He held the girl with one arm, picking the phone out with his other. It was that ginger of a boss of his. He sighed and flicked the phone open, bringing it to his ear. "Ciao."

His expression fell for a moment before he looked down to Michi with a smile. "I've gotta take this call alone, Michi." He winked at her before letting her down and heading off towards the forest. He started speaking rapid Italian into the cellphone. It was a report; a simple report for his boss. Well, he needed to keep in contact with the guy every now and then. He didn't say anything too important yet; in fact, he was only chatting with the Irish man on the other end until he was far enough away from everyone else. Then he'd start reporting on how he had no leads as of yet. He'd give them profiles of the people he'd met so far as well as a few quick sum up of the events at this place so far. Of course, he filtered out some of the some embarrassing situations. The witch hunters had definitely popped up in the discussions a few times amoung other things.

Rain nodded numbly to the woman, not really caring for what she said. Rain had met other immortals and when the ceased to value other lives… they were equally meaningless to her. She so simply continued…Remembering a tree her sister had climbed as a kitten almost every day… there was the perfect place for her sister. She was thankful of the suggestion, but she knew her sister would have chosen the tree.

She walked to it, a quick spell lifting the dirt so she could bury the girl at the roots of the tree. She then swept the dirt back over her, trying not to cry…trying to be angry instead. After carving Lily’s name into the tree as a headstone she turned, hearing Dante’s voice. She stood behind a nearby tree, touching her earing to activate a translation spell within. She never was very trusting of him….and hearing him talk of witch hunters unnerved her….What…who was he telling about them!

Michi

Michi nodded to Dante and looked over to the Blue haired girl and smiled. She saw quickly in Rains memory of Chie telling her the perfect place to bury Lily.
"Thank you for helping Rain..."
She frowned a moment.
"She will need Michi's help soon too..."
Michi looked as Rain left...she wondered how long she'd cry...and when she'd see Rain smiled again...

Chie smiled at the child. "It was merely a suggestion, it is not likely she will follow it." Seeing the young girl frown, Chie looked briefly puzzled. She would need Michi's help? Ah, that 'human who became a demon' man, yes? Well, actually she was not sure if he was an actual demon or just a cruel person that humans sometimes referred to as 'demons'. "What will Rain need Michi's help for?" The young girl asked, curious as to what a child without the ability to control her powers would do - after all she had been unable to stop the flood of Chie's memories without Chie's help. But perhaps it was unfair to judge her off of that, Chie was a special sort of case. Yet now she took extra care to keep her mind guarded so as not to overwhelm the child again.

Dante scratched the back of his head as he spoke to the man on the phone.

(From here on out he's speaking Italian. I'm just keeping it translated for Rain. =3 )

"No, no. It's fine. I need a new gun though. Some bastard stole mine from me. Can you send me a new one? The 9 mil- yeah!" He was silent for a moment before rolling his eyes. "Go ahead an take it from my paycheck. It's not like I even need this money. It's all been going to the Don. I told you that before." He leaned against one of the trees in the area, closing his eyes as he listened to the other end. "Yeah, I know you hate it, but I'm not going to stop. The guy's been taking care of me since I was a kid. If you have a problem with it, then fire me already." He grinned at the sigh on the other end. Of course he wouldn't be fired. They needed him for informational purposes. He was their tool. This was the only way he could get 'payback'.

"Why do you keep picking these terrible locations, though? You remember the bad experiences I had at the last 'magical fairytale land' you sent me. You know how much I hate this stuff." He couldn't have cared for an answer. He just wanted to whine and hopefully assure that he'd never be used for one of these terrible missions again. "I'll call you with any more updates. Later, boss." He sighed before snapping his phone shut and pushing off the tree. He'd have to head back to that place again. It's be such a fricken depressing area- that only made the experience worse.

Michi

Michi smiled.
"She must keep Rain happy. Cheer her up. And keep Lily alive in her memories."
She played with her hair.
"If Rain never forgets, then Lily will never really be gone..."
Michi glanced up at Chie.
"Like how Michi's parents will never be gone."

((Allo))

Rain fell into anger quickly, being an easy way to adapt to her greif….it was just her nature. To mask pain with anger or sarcasm….mix that with her paranoia and it’d be no surprise what she did next. She let her long strides carry her to Dante and instantly punched him in the back without even a word, then of course she began to yell.

“Who was that! Who were you telling about the witch hunters! Why the hell are you here” She began to shout, her mind of course going to the possibilities of a spotter. A spotter was what she called those who reported witch sightings….so that the clean up crew would come to kill them.

Rin gasped hard for air as he awoke. He felt his face and the blood caked all over it. He laid there unable to move or talk in his current state. He was a word magician left alone with only his thoughts.

"Gh!" Dante took the punch. It wasn't as if the woman could hit hard, but he still didn't enjoy it very much. Her screaming shook him up far worse than the punch had. He turned to face her, holding his hands of defensively. "Oi, oi. It's a secure line. No one's going to tap me. It's not like I was talking to someone who really cared about it anyways." He backed away from the woman, more afraid of those damned cheap magic spells than anything. Why did he have to be struck with bad luck lately? "Since when have you been able to speak Italian?"

“Since when does someone ‘just passing through’ have to report to someone… Who are you talking to and who the hell are you!” Rain demanded pretending not to hear him ask how she‘d known italian, raising a fist to punch him in the face with no real care of where she landed. She just wanted to feel her knuckles hit something…hard. She wouldn’t use any spells….it didn’t give any relief to her anger or grief to use magic…

Rin blinked his eyes with every labored breath. He knew what he had to do focus on recovering and healing and he could get moving again. He was not sure how long he would have to go without his magic though, but the paramount matter was to get up and get moving as soon as possible.

Dante swayed to the side, letting the punch pass right past him harmlessly. He was behind her in that second with his hands raised again. "It's none of your business what I am. You're being annoying. Quit eves dropping and go back to mourning for that kid of yours. She'd sure as Hell appreciate your attention more than I do right now!" He grit his teeth, shoving his phone back into his pocket. She'd never be able to hit him like this. She was in a mindless rage right now. He couldn't blame her.

Rin felt Rain's pain for some reason or another. He had a feeling it was a backlash of his fight the past night, and it filled him with nothing but rage toward the situation. He really wished he could go down there and handle this himself, but he could not.

Emeriya

Emeriya jumped from her window and walked over to Dante and Rain.
"What the fuck is going on here?!"
She glared at Dante, seeing he was the target of Rain's anger.
"What did he do...?"
Her fists clenched.

Rin forced himself up he wanted to be around her for some reason if not to try and apologize for what he did. He limped to the door and then down the stairs. He looked around and couldn't find her, but he was determined that he would find her.

“I’m tired of death so it sure as hell does concern me!” Rain spat, annoyed as he moved. She reached out a hand and did indeed cast a spell but not one of attack……merely of restraint. From the trees grew vines that wrapped around his arms and legs, which she followed by going forward and punching him in the gut. She may not know why she chose him as her particular focus at the moment but she knew through experience…. Feeling ones knuckles bruise on someone you were angry at was a great distraction from grief.

“You know….. It’s amazing what these vines can do…. Tell me before I have to hurt you.” She then glanced at Eme, giving her a grimace of a smile. “Oh this lovely is just reporting to someone all about the witches and other hunted here….” She said with a sarcastic edge and again hit him……hard as she began to manage to suppress the tears as fury let her deal and feel no pain….She thought she heard rin but said nothing, her muscles tight.

((they’re in the forest btw Rin ^.^ ))

Rin limped to the door, and opened it. He started looking around outside he could hear yelling in the distance and decided to follow it. He was crazy to be doing this in his current condition, but he knew he had to set things right the best her could hope to.

Emeriya

Emeriya put a hand on Rain's shoulder and glared angrily at Dante.
"Why the fuck are you really here?"
She stood by Rain, before Rain had told her to stop because Dante had been an asshole to her. But if he was an informant, they were all in danger.
"And if you say your passing through, i will make it my obligation to punch you square in the mouth."
She bared her teeth.
"Or Worse."

( Dammit. Why a crowd? D= )

Dante was ready to dodge another fist, not a bunch of vines. He freaked as he felt the suddenly restraints, looking towards then, then to his short sword. There was no way he'd be able to reach it like thi- "Guh!?" He cringed as the woman's fist made contact. His eyes went wide and everything fell blurry for a moment before he shook it off and glared at her. "Why do you think I want to kill you!? I saved your ass the other night by killing off a bunch of those hunters! If I wanted to kill you, I'd have done it and left by now!" He Had sustained another blow, this time being better prepared as he tensed his muscles to take the blow. He winced , glaring at now... two women. Why did Eme have to show up as well, dammit!?

He spat at the two of them and grinned sarcastically. "Fuck off already, ugly twats."
