He shifted slightly. His mind wandering for a split second from Aisu. The bright blonde hair caught his eye and time seemed to slow to a crawl. She was beautiful. Even with her face constricted with fear and panic. He wanted her. Needed to have her. He would just have kill Aisu later. But then he could take his time then. Kill him slowly. But now Aisu knew that he was here. He wouldn't get to enjoy the surprised look on his face when he killed Seika. Very few of even the Housetunians knew how badly they all needed Seika's unique abilities. A twisted smile broke across his face. An insane gleam lit in his eyes.
He turned from Aisu's energy trail. Moving more swiftly than normal person could see he jumped from the roof top he had been sitting on, free falling over twelve stories to land as light as a feather on the ground. Just as his feet barely touched the ground he shot forward into the street. Coming up behind the blonde girl he scooped her slight form into his arms and shot completely up into the air over the bus. Letting it move under them. He drifted onto the sidewalk. Looking as if he flew without wings.
He landed lightly next to the pink haired child and for the first time since he had grabbed her, took his eyes from the blonde girl's blue eyes. Her arms had wound around his neck as they drifted to the ground and he smiled now. She stared at him as he gently placed her on the ground. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Serena!" the pink haired girl squeaked. "Are you alright?" A black cat bounded up and instantly bristled and hissed at him.
"Serena?" he asked softly. "That's a pretty name. It suites you." She blushed and looked down. He tensed when he felt Aisu and Seika's energy's come closer. He had to leave. Now. If Seika knew he was here he wouldn't have a chance to kill her. He knew he would never win in a fair fight with her. He sighed and kissed Serena's hand. "I hope to see you again soon, Serena," he said with a smile, his voice like silk. She smiled slightly and nodded. He quickly took off in the opposite direction of where Seika and Aisu were coming from.
"Wait!" she yelled after him. "I didn't get your name!" He didn't have time to answer and even if he did Seika and Aisu would surely hear him then his plan would be all over. He couldn't tell her. He turned to her.
"I'm just a friend," he yelled back to her then turned and ran. He'd see her again. He had too.
