Yayoi's dating service

"For the last time Yayoi, the answer is no!" Tao shouted across the coffee table.

"Why? It's just a singles add." Yayoi said taking the add form out of her bag, "Would it kill you to go on a date or two? I mean really, you've said it yourself, you've been alone for over half of the 317 years of your long life."

"It wouldn't kill me, but it would probably kill that unlucky person." Tao shot back, "My hunter life is never on hold, anyone who gets involved with me will get hurt. It's always been that way with me." She nearly stood up completely.

Shido's hands held her shoulder tightly, telling her he wanted her to calm down. The couch made little noises as it took on her weight once more. Tao closed her eyes and relaxed as Shido took his thumb and lightly stroked the back of her neck, while his hand stayed on her shoulder.

"Tao, listen to me." Yayoi said calmly, "I know you like being alone lot, but what if you had a special friend that wasn't afraid to know all your secrets no matter what happens?"

"Yayoi, I know what that feels like. I had a friend who knew me better then I did when I was still young and had no idea what was happening to me."

"See. And what happened, how did you feel?" She said sitting forward hoping to make a point.

"Very simple… That person taught how to kill other demons and why I should also become a hunter like she was."

"And…"

Crimson eyes softened and began to look sad reminding everyone that only half of her was a killer, "Somewhere between 220 and 250. My birthday came around, and we were attacked. They were the High Councils men. When the finally blow was made, aimed at me and me alone, my friend me out of the way and took the blast fully." She lowered her head; Tao hated talking about her late friend.

"What happened to her?" Squeaked Riho in the corner near the desk in the front of the office.

"When I came too, the assholes that attacked us were gone. And I found friend in the path the blow came from. She was barely alive I tried to help her but she shooed me away and died in my arms. That was the last time I ever really cried me heart out. And the last time I've ever really was happy. After that night I became the monster that ever Nightwalker fears. My emotions died away, my heart was as cold as frozen rock. I just ceased to feel on to gather." Tao stood up and went to grab her trench coat from the door. "Yayoi, Out of what I told you tonight. I ask you not to place a personal data on me. Don't make me have to tear my heart out again. I've done that more often then anyone should have to. In fact I've done it more times when every one in this room combined."

With that Tao left, and Yayoi on the other hand didn't listen one bit.

"Yayoi! What are you doing?" Guni yelled at her.

"What did look like? I'm filling out that personal add."

"Tao said not too." Shido said leaning back on his chair.

"Well I don't care. I don't think anyone should not go on a data just because of the past. Well Shido. You aren't going to tell on me are you? Besides she said she didn't want a person who would get hurt, so what if we got someone had a life style like hers." Yayoi purred running her finger over her throat.

Shido starred for a long moment then turned on his chair, "Fine. But when Tao finds out and comes kicking down the door wanting your head I'm not going to stop her."

"Thanks Shido." Yayoi said then continued.

After that the add was sent in and surfaced in some places where most would never think of finding an answer. One such place would be the Underworld, to a certain handyman office known as Devil May Cry.
