A young girl sat near the outskirts of town. Her hair was a light shade of pink, comparable to cherry blossoms. As she sat her hair flowed onto the grown resting among the fresh green grass. It was fall there, the town bustled as it normally would but this girl stayed away. She preferred her solitude to the overwhelming stresses of the town. It was quiet where she sat. She was shaded by an old oak tree looking on to a lake. The light reflected beautifully off the water especially since it was so clear.

It was still warm and she still felt cold inside. Her light red eyes seemed empty as they displayed the feelings of her heart. She was still young for a demon but appeared at the age of 18. She was strong. She was masterful with her katana as well as hand-to-hand combat. As long as evil demons roamed the earth these skills would be put to use. Her senses were sharp for her ears were of a cat's as they twitched with any disturbance of the calm, even a simple splash from across the lake. Her tail swayed as she enjoyed the warm air blowing through her hair. She wore a kimono, a tightly fit one that went slightly above her knees. This dress was also rather low but complimented her breasts nicely, if sized by current standards a DDD. This was Rin or most commonly known as "the cat girl" by the villagers. But by fellow demons "walking death".

She stood up and turned back to face the town. She had stayed to long. Time isn't something she could waste. She was hunting. Her prey had escaped her for the second time and yet again, she had to track him down. All she could go by was scent. He smell was unforgettable to her. He smelt of lilacs, it was such a pleasant scent for such a disgusting man. She pulled her katana from it place nestled in the grass and put it at her side and began to walk into the forest.

Her pace was slow as she was in no rush. She would meet this man but an obsession was not what she wanted of herself. The forest was morbid. It was dark and gloomy. She was alone as she had been for so many years. Crickets chirped in harmony adding to the feel of the eerie forest. After hours she had made her way out of the forest. Her sense of direction was astounding. She looked on to this next town. She would search for this man but if he could not be found then it's still a great place to stop for a drink. She wandered around town as people either hid from her or laughed at her. Those who knew of her hid, those who hadn't thought she was odd and misplaced due to the cat ears and tail.

A young boy maybe of the age of 3 stumbled up to her and tugged on her tail. She swiftly turned around, snarling, her hair falling into her face during the turn then looked down at the little boy. Her face calmed as she saw the utter innocence in the boy's face. Her eyes gained caring warmth and kneeled down to look into the boys face. He smiled goofily at her and waved. She smiled and waved back, picking the boy up in her arms and returning to her feet. She looked around in search of some sort of guardian and saw a younger women looking around desperately. Rin walked over and lightly tapped on the hysteric woman's shoulder.

"Is this your child?" she asked calmly and coolly.

The women turned and reached out and clung to the child rocking his back and forth in her arms. She thanked Rin shyly and ran off.

Rin sighed, not sensing any scent or energy of the man she seeked so she wandered into a bar. It was a scarcely lit place with the smoke of cigarettes leaving a smog floating in the air. She had become used the dank smell of such places and took a seat at the counter examining the fools that occupied the building. One group laughed hoarsely as one man in an attempt to stand up fell flat on his face and passed out. Looters who were there for that reason ran over and swiped his wallet and left, counting the bills.

Rin scoffed at their idiocy and looked at the barkeep and ordered a bottle of vodka. The man laughed.

"Yeah right, miss! What can I really get you?" he said as she glared.

He realized her seriousness and quickly reached under the counter and placed the bottle in front of her. She chugged it down eagerly. The alchahol stung her throat in the relieving way it should until it rested in her stomach, warming her entire body. She smiled. She hardly ever smiled. She wasn't a very happy person anymore except when she was drinking or drunk. Or in her sleep. When her dreams whisked her away at night, she smiled. She felt a gaze upon her and looked over seeing a man, looking about the appearance of 21.

His demon blood was obvious for his hair was a shimmering silver and similar colored wolf ears took place on his head. His tail was of the same gray and swayed above the ground as he sat on his seat. He was the most handsome demon she had ever seen. His eyes were a deep blue that so perfectly complimented his features. His red yukata stood out vibrantly in the place and his aura was powerful.

He was smiling at her, she looked at him curiously. It was a kind goofy smile she couldn't help but return. His presence was warm and comforting.

"Your panties match your hair, huh?" he said with no malicious intent.

Rin blinked, flustered by the comment and looked down seeing her kimono had come up when she sat down. This drew the attention of the bar which she ignored easily and looked at him with no sign of embarrassment and merely shrugged.

"Guess so."

The man was surprised for he had made somewhat of a perverted comment and she wasn't offended or angry at all. He laughed it off and put out his hand.

"My name's Alric." Rin reached out and shook his hand.

"Rin."
