Okami POV

Okami walked up the emptying streets of Death City, arms crossed behind her back, eyes closed, and sun setting behind her, hood pulled back up to hide her face. She was well aware that stupid sun was doing everything in its power to stay up longer than it should, but it would lose that battle against the Moon very soon. She was making her way toward the edge of the City, where the buildings became fewer and more spread apart than they were in the center of the city.

This is where her house was, which is where she was slowly heading toward. Death City had hardly changed since the last time she had been here, a long time ago.

How long has it been...? Ten years... right?

She shrugged the thought off and opened her silver eyes to glance ahead. There was something different about the city, and she found it rather annoying to be honest. The amount of Kishin Eggs within the city had drastically increased, but why? You would think with a whole Academy filled with students learning to be Meisters and Weapons, Kishin Eggs would be a rare thing here within the city... Though there weren't a ton of them around, but still enough for her to notice.

She could sense them, the soul's of the Kishin Eggs when she was traveling through the city. But none of them bothered to show themselves to her, and she honestly didn't want to be bothered with them right now. Her mind was set on other matters, the most pressing being; what in the hell had she gotten herself into? She could hardly believe she had agreed to stay at the Academy, it was irrational, why should she be here? There was absolutely no point.

She had only decided to come back to the Death City so she could check up on what was going on, being gone so long had sort of left her out of the loop. But it wasn't hard to pick up on information, she was well connected, and it wasn't as if Lord Death was trying to keep everything that went on in the city a secret anyway.

Then she thought back to why he had even asked her to stay, and she still felt irritation rise up inside of her. He wanted to keep an eye on her, even if he was doing it rather indirectly. Lord Death had never fully trusted her, she knew that for a fact. Though she never fully understood why, some of his mistrust, she understood, but the rest of it?

Maybe it was her behavior when she had been younger?

Or maybe it was the fact she seemed to always get in to trouble?

She could only guess, and right now she wasn't really in the mood to. Lord Death had never been one to be straight with her, and she knew he sure as hell wasn't going to start now.

She stopped right in front of a one-story house, with a dark wood door. A small walkway up to it was closed off by a small metal gate with a low stone wall on either side, stretching out on either side, before turning and meeting the house on both sides. Her eyes narrowed when she saw a cat wearing a witch's hat sitting on the stone wall on one side of the gate, peering at the house with a tilted head.

"What do you want, cat?" Okami muttered as she stopped right behind the cat, arms crossed over her chest. The cat jumped in surprise at the sound of her voice, whipping around to face her.

"Oh-uh..." It stammered for a minute and Okami tilted her head. "My name is Blair!" The cat announced as it changed into human, that looked a whole hell of a lot like a witch, and she sat with one leg crossed over the other, smirking Okami's way the slightest bit.

"Ok, Blair." Okami murmured. "What are you doing here?" She questioned, she wasn't really in the mood to talk, and finding this unexpected guest was not what she had been expecting.

"I was strolling through the neighborhood," Blair explained. "I've noticed this house, but never seen anyone in it." Blair leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the face under the hood, "Do you live here?" Okami stayed silent for a minute, not sure she wanted to answer the question or not. Blair was curious, curious as a cat you might say...

Okami chuckled a little at the thought and nodded a bit, "Yeah, I live here. Why do want to know?" Blair's eyes widened at the answer, before she smiled widely and leaned back a bit, turning back into a cat.

"I was only wondering." Blair answered with a cheeky smile, tail swishing back and forth a bit. Okami raised an eyebrow at the answer, but instead only opened the metal gate and stepped inside. "What's your name?" Blair called after her as the cat jumped from the wall, trotting after her down the small walkway toward the door.

"Why so many questions?" Okami replied.

"I already gave you my name, why wouldn't you give me yours?" Blair countered and Okami stopped outside the door, pulling her keys out of her pocket.

"I didn't ask you for your name, you gave me that willingly." Okami pointed out, and smirked a little when she heard Blair let out a huff of annoyance. "Oh well... Its Okami." She explained, opening the door and stepping inside, keeping it open just long enough to let Blair in.

The inside had simple dark hardwood floors, immediately on the inside there was a small living room with a large vouch and armchair with a dark wood coffee table in the center, all facing a TV set up on stand made from the same dark wood. Down a hallway to the left there were three different doors, all closed up for the time being. To the right there was a decently sized kitchen, full pantry, stocked fridge, sink, and several cupboards and drawers. In the kitchen there was a sliding glass door that lead out into a small backyard area. Blair padded in slowly and looked around with wide eyes and Okami closed the door softly behind her, smirking the slightest but at the cat's expression as she looked the house over.

"So," Okami asked and Blair glanced over her shoulder to look her way, blinking slowly. "Who ate your soul?" Okami asked, smirking a little more at the surprised expression Blair gave her for the question.

"What do you mean?" Blair asked her, slightly confused as to why the question had even been asked.

"Well," Okami began, stepping forward and crouching down in front of the cat, arms resting on her knees. "Cats have nine souls, you only have eight." She explained, her gaze passing over Blair slowly as she said it. Blair sat down and just stared up at her in awe, she couldn't wrap her head around the idea that Okami had known she only had eight souls left. How could she know? Even people with Soul Perception abilities wouldn't normally be able to sense more than one soul in one body, especially nine or eight.

"How could you tell?" Blair asked her, and Okami chuckled.

"I have Soul Perception abilities. Very good Soul Perception abilities." Okami explained. "So? You going to tell me who ate the ninth one?" Okami asked again and Blair looked away, an embarrassed look spreading across her face.

"Scythy Boy." She murmured lowly and Okami blinked, tilting her head a little at the answer.

Scythy Boy?

"Who in the hell is that?" Okami asked and Blair smiled widely.

"He's the cutest little weapon I've ever seen!" Blair announced as a playful look came into her eye. "I still can't believe he chose that flat-chested girl over me..." Blair pouted a little, face falling at the thought and Okami blinked once.

"So I'm guessing it was a Weapon and a Meister." Okami murmured, "Are they students at the academy?" She pressed, a little interested now.

"Yes!" Blair announced. "It was actually their team that took down Asura." The cat explained to her. Okami blinked in shock, Asura? She would definitely need to meet this team later...

"Huh... So why did what's his name eat your soul?" Okami asked as she got up and started to walk toward the kitchen, and Blair padded after her.

"Soul." Blair answered. "His name is Soul Eater Evans." Blair smiled and Okami nodded to show she had heard her. "Actually, it was a mission to collect a Witch's soul, so he could become a Death Scythe." Blair jumped up to sit on one of the counters and pawed at the air a little, smirking. "Too bad he didn't know I'm not a witch."

Okami couldn't stop herself from laughing at the explanation. Man, that Soul kid and his Meister must have been pretty damn mad after finding out!

Lord Death had probably confiscated all the souls they had collected before then, all because they had messed up and found a cat, where they had been looking for a witch.

"That's actually pretty funny." Okami chuckled, "Bet they hated themselves after that. Especially when Lord Death confiscated all the souls they had after it." She chuckled some more and Blair tilted her head a little.

"How'd you know Lord Death confiscated all their captured souls?" She asked and Okami smirked.

"I've been around, and I know what happens when you mess up with getting the Witch's soul." Okami explained. "I am a student, and I know a lot more then you might think I do." Okami explained and tapped a finger lightly on Blair's nose.

"Your a student?!" Blair asked her in utter surprise. "I've never seen you around before! How long have you been in Death City?" Blair asked her quickly and Okami blinked at the reaction.

"Why so surprised?" She asked and Blair squinted at her. In a poof of smoke, Blair turned back into her human form and peered at her, causing Okami to lean back a little when her face got close to hers.

"Hmm... You seem sort of... Older than any of the other students... Sort of..." Blair answered her slowly, still not exactly sure what she meant, and Okami just glanced away. "Its not that you look older... You sort of just... Seem older..." Blair mumbled and Okami sweatdropped a little, the first sign of discomfort Blair had seen from her.

Blair was silently questioning who Okami really was in her own mind, she felt something a bit off about the girl, and she didn't quite know why either. She wished that Okami would take that hood off, so she could get a better look at her. Blair was a little tempted to reach forward and pull the hood off herself; but something told her Okami wouldn't react in a good way to the action. So, she stopped herself from even attempting, and gave up, for now. She wouldn't forget the nervous look she could see come across Okami's face when she had spoken, but she wasn't going to press it.

For now anyway...
