The young merman walked down a street to see that many people stared at him. It was because not most people who were new would walk through that area. He was in a well known area for thugs and drug dealers. One of the men started to approach till he realized that the young merman was more dangerous then appeared. He ignored the people in that area till reaching a main street. The air sent chills down his spine knowing the councel would hunt the Yajuu.
"Now where to start really looking...this is like a needle in a hay stack."
The young male lets out a sigh starting to walk down the street. A few teen girls start to giggle as he looks to them.
"Human girls are weird..."
He shakes his head walking into a local cop shop. They had a map of the city posted on the wall for everyone to view. When viewing the map it felt like his search had only begun. A police officer walks up checking him out. The cop was slightly suspicious of the look on his face. The young male looks over and smiles slightly.
"Sorry I am new here and a friend was suppost to help me around. As you can tell he didn't show up. I'm trying to get a feel for the place so I don't get lost again. My name is Lance sir sorry about my look from a moment ago."
The officer smiled as patting his back softly. Lance looks to the officer as it walked back to his desk. It was a small relief not to be questioned any more. He starts out on the street once more to find a woman he knew. She smiled leaning over a table with a glass of vodka. Her voice was whimsical yet you could smell the alcohol.
"Hello little one...so what brings you to our lovely up world?"
Lance was almost saden to see a siren of such strength acting like a human drunk.
"The councel of the elders is going to be hunting the last of the true bloods of Yajuu. I want to make sure I'm here to help him or her. I know that when I see the Yajuu I will know it."
The siren laughed taking another sip of vodka. Her eyes shifted for a moment but then looked almost lost for a second. After a few moments of silence she pours more alcohol into her glass.
"Prince Lance...if you want to go against the councel then so be it. If you order it I shall help. You know I haven't gone into the water for almost sixty years. I am a loyal servant to you at your disposal."
A soft smile comes to his face placing a hand on her glass. She looks to him as a tear went down her cheek. He could see the pain that she tried to hide from in the bottle. The woman raises taking his hand walking into the building. She takes him to a room that is fit for a king.
"This is for you Lance. If there is anything you need let me know."
He smiles as watching her walk from the room. Lance sits down on the bed to finally realize he needs to rest. He leans back on the bed falling asleep before even stripping his clothing. The siren woman walked downstairs looking at the vodka bottle then throws it in a fireplace.
"My prince what are you getting into. Last time someone tried to help a Yajuu from being killed...they left their home to become a alcoholic."
The woman walks from the four story building that she owned. In the street was two people staring at her with a wicked look to their eyes. She smiles as singing in a low tone making them scream out in pain. It isn't even a second when the two men fall to the ground coughing blood up.
"Any who threaten his life will die. I will help my prince in any way that is possible."
The men glare to her as pulling out a gun. She smiles as a bullet hits through her left shoulder. Blood started to pour down her blue silk dress leaving a trail as she walked to them. One man remained alive as coughing still only to look to her eyes. He wasn't able to take another breathe in as she sings the final note to his death. A police officer arrives making her go to the hospital. At the hospital was Joseph who was checking in on an old friend. He couldn't help to stare at the siren woman. It was like her scent was emmitting a rare fragrance that appealed to his senses. She smiles to him as the doctor examine the bullet wound.
Joseph says good-bye to his friend as walking past the siren. His eyes locked onto her but something wasn't giving a danger appeal. She said nothing as watching him leave. A Yajuu wasn't easy to tell by their scent. He walked to his house actually hoping to meet up with Vincent but sadly it didn't happen.
Josephs house was like a empty hollow home. He hadn't thought about it in truth why he pushed people away. The night Vincent came to his house made him start to really open his eyes. It was the murder of his parents that made him stray away from others. He didn't have many friends at least outside of fighting club. When he was in the club everyone kept to themselves but it seemed that everyone had a story to tell. He walks into his kitchen getting a pop sitting on his couch. The air still smelled fresh of the lavender inscent from ealier.
The tv was airing a re-run of "Haven" it was on the syfy station. Light flashes through the window, a person staring straight at him. Joseph jumps to his feet as his window shatters. The man climbs through the window looking to the house then to Joseph.
"So you are my target. Sorry about this but you have to die now."
Joseph let out a frustrated sigh looking to the man. He didn't have any patience for this shit right now. The assassin pulls out a gun pointing it point blank on his forhead. The sound of the bullet leaving the barrel revibrated through the house. The assassin didn't have time to react when a knife went into his side hard. Joseph had taken his own knife striking him to the ground.
"Don't take this personal. I want to live and if it means killing to do it then so be it."
The man strangley had a smile to his face. It was an honor for him to die by someone so strong. When the man is dead he sits there looking to the blood on his hands. He knew it was the first of many peoples blood to be on his hands. He calls the cops letting them tend to everything as fixing up his house the next day. The next afternoon was a little off since no on in his neighborhood wanted to even come near him. It got annoying when even the mail man was afraid to come to his house. That was the finally straw of the day for him. He got on his motorcycle taking off fast. It was three hours before he even stopped to get gas.
He started back up driving for another five hours. When he stops a lovely sound is heard over the wind. It is a violin playing from a school only a few minutes away. A nice fact to not being human for him was hearing things a hell of a lot better then he did. Joseph drives up to the school to see a man with long black hair and lovely purple eyes playing. He wore a pair of black suit pants, white button shirt, and a black suit jacket. The man stopped playing looking down at the young male. A smile came to his face, jumping down with ease.
"Hello it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Dark Angel Dakuenjeru, who might you be?"
Joseph climbs off his bike turning it off. He hadn't expected someone to be so formal to him.
"I..um...I'm Joseph Tao and yeah nice to meet you too."
Dark Angel looks at him as being able to tell he's had a terrible time of lately. He leads Joseph into the school building allowing them to sit at a table. Joseph looks around the room as watching him carefully. The music that Dark Angel played was so calming.
"So...Dark Angel are you a teacher here?"
He watches as seeing him nod to the question. It was silent for a few minutes before either said a word.
"Joseph is there a reason why you are running away?"
It was a question that caught him off gaurd completely. In all truth he just wanted not to be attacked at the moment. The ride was something that only he could control the out come.
"Yeah...not like I want to go into detail though. Let me just say I was really fucking annoyed with shit that kept going on."
Dark Angel let out a sigh as smiling some. The thought crossing his mind of the young male being hunted. He raises from his seat when a student comes into the room.
"Mister Dakuenjeru I need some help?"
Joseph took that as a sign to leave. As the student was being helped, he walked back to the bike. Several of the students had clung around the bike checking it out. A few of the guys were eye'ing Joseph as he walked to the bike. They laughed for a minute but stopped when they noticed the glare from Joseph.
"Trust me this isn't the time to piss me off."
Everyone backed away as his engine started. Dust blew up at the boys as he takes off quickly. The bike roared down the road as Dark Angel looked to the window.
"Poor kid."
The student with him looked confused but remained silent about the subject. Joseph goes back to his house just crashing on his couch. The feel of the cloth was soothing but his body ached from head to toe. It was a strange ache like something was warning him of impending doom. Not to many miles away was three men, each one sent to hunt him out. The leader of the men walked away from the other two. His head was bugging him as listening to them bitch about the kid being so hard to find.
The leader walks further away from the two in the opposite direction. He laughed knowing the others didn't even notice him. His gaze goes onto a woman, she was sitting in a lawn chair. Her appearance was seemingly normal, baggy jeans and a lose fitting top. She was holding a beer in her hand talking with a few other people. They gazed over at him for a moment then went back to their business. When he was out of the womans sight she smirked. Shadows start sleeking from buildings to follow the man. They slowly catch up to his own shadow forcing his body to a halt. The woman stood up walking behind the man placing a hand onto his chest.
"What stupid little men. To come into a territory with out knowing what kind of evils lay in wait."
The man looked back from the corner of his eye to see her blood red eyes. She had a soft look to her face with a gentle smile. Her hand grazed over his heart as listening to the beats.
"What are you?"
His voice came out more shakey then he planned. The woman laughed as her voice rang through his mind. It was a soft almost non-hearable laugh.
"I'm a race no one has delt with in a long time. I'm one of the Kuragari."
The man watched as her skin went pale white, blue scales formed around her eyes, and slight horns formed from her head. He could feel what was now razor like tallens as her nails. She had the shadows cover his mouth, her nails cutting his shirt open. A twisted smile coming to her lips seeing his flesh. Her nails very slowly start cutting the flesh over his heart. He tries to scream out but her shadows have confined him. It was cruel torture to even prevent him from going into his true form.
"Poor fellow...I kind of feel pity on you. You must die here and looking soley like a human."
He growls in the binding giving her a vile glare. She kisses his forhead as slashing into his flesh deeper. The blood pours down his chest allowing his viens to be seen. The woman walks around to his front licking the blood. Blood drips from her lips, a drop hitting his own foot. Nails dig further into his body till reaching his heart. She smiles again licking her lips, slowly pulling on his beating heart.
She lets his body fall to the ground kicking it into the gutter. The beating heart pumps for a moment longer as she brings it to her lips. Blood drips from her fingers looking to a passing car on the main street.
"How pathetic humans don't even notice."
