"...I wasn't going to tell Inu-Yasha that he had had enough."
Wolfwood nodded, and took a long drag from his cigarette, eyes closed, elbow resting on the counter.
"What'll it be, Nicholas~?"
"Give me a scotch."
Miroku slid the drink to the priest, and turned to clean out an empty, dirty glass.
"...Any news~?"
Miroku turned, still rubbing the inside of the glass with a clothe, a tad bit of a serious expression on his face.
"Well... He has three more."
"Three~?"
"Yes."
"What're their names~?"
"One has been nicknamed 'Phoenix', and his partner is called 'Gryphon.' I never got the other one's name."
Wolfwood thought for a moment, and felt somewhat curious.
"Why 'Gryphon'~?"
"Well, she's..."
Somebody in the bar started yelling, probably a drunk, which quickly started a ruckus, though the priest was still able to make out what his bar-tender friend was saying, and started speaking again when things where quiet.
"...How cruel."
"I know... But that's the way things are when you work for him."
"Yeah." Wolfwood thought, and looked towards the two swinging bar doors, as if someone where about to walk in.
They both became just two figures near the back of the bar, things you never payed much attention to, like an echo you only heard for a brief moment.

"You took quite a fall there."
"Yes... I thank you for catching me."
The black-haired man smiled, and Iifa smiled politely back, though she found it hard to look him straight in the eye without blushing.
(oh dear he's kind of cute but don't be shy don't get embaressed)
"Well, I must be going now..."
Iifa waved lightly, and turned to go, and the black-haired man was about to try and speak to her when he noticed her tail, swinging from here to there as she walked.
(could this planet get any stranger~?)
He continued to stare, noticeing the almost rhythymic* way she walked. Left foot, tail swings right. Right foot, tail goes left. Swish, swish, swish-
"Hey, I know she's cute, but it's rude to stare."
Nagasaki jumped, and turned to see a black-haired man dressed in a sort of dark grey-black suit, carrying a large cross.
(should i know this man...~?)
"Oh, uh... I wasn't stareing... Just noticeing her tail for the first time..."
"I see. Y'don't get to see something like that everyday."
With that, the man went down the stairs after the girl - Who's name was Iifa, she had told him - Almost as if he weren't very interested in starting a conversation.
Nagasaki stared at them, and then down the three stairs himself.
"Wait~! Iifa~!"
Iifa stopped and turned, slowly, as if she where in pain, and the shinobi caught up to her.
"M-may I come with you~?"
"Why~?"
Nagasaki looked almost sad.
"I don't have anywhere else to go."
*Dunno how t' spell eet~ Bleh.
