When a tower weeps gently

Yume nodded as she waved goodbye to the monk and Iro. She headed up to her room and packed her things.
All the healers lived in the building.
After packing all her things she walked down to the healing area to check on the young boy.
Zaki was sitting next to the boy by the bed taking to him. The boy had eyes, dark blue. it looked as if he seemed lonely. The young boy wore draggy clothes that had been ripped all around.
"Oh! it seems that you have awakened" She says walking over to the boy.
The boy and Zaki turned to see Yume standing at the door. "Yume-san, This is Kurogi. He is an abandon orphan." He says to Yume.
Kurogi looks at Zaki then to Yume. "Kurogi, this is the person that healed your wounds." Zaki explained.
"Tsk. its not like she healed everything." Kurogi says as his left hand was placed on his chest.
"Kurogi" Zaki shooted but then sighed after. He turned to Yume with an apologistic look. "Im sorry, Yume-san. He just feels uneasy because he has nowhere to go."
Yume nodded. "Its alright." She says walking over to the boy. "If you have nowhere to go, would you like to stay with me?" She asked.
The boy looked up, his eyes that seemed lonely before looked as if it was desperate.
Yume smiled as she placed her hand ontop of his. "Don't worry, i will take good care of you" She says smiling.
Kurogi looked up as he gave Yume a slight smile.
Zaki coughed interrupting. "A..ano..Yume-san..but are't you going with the Monk and Iro-san?" He asked.
Yume nodded "Yes i am.." She says turning to Zaki
"Then what's going to happen to Kurogi?" Zaki asked.
"Well i guess that he'll have to come along" Yume says smiling.

Kirika walked out of the store. He sighed hearing the loud shout of the old woman. He really hated loud noises. He was walking off when he felt a chill down is body. Kirika just grinned as he noticed. "A Vampire..." He said to himself as he looked up. while bumping into Suzume. "Hey, Watch it!" He grunts turning to see Suzume. "Oh, its you...Suzu"
Kirika had joined the Frontier Company about the same time as Suzume and they happened to know eachother very well.
They would train together when it was possible, since they where both fire types.

There was a loud pop of gunfire and the crowd started to gather after the two. Aravin had his bayonet pointed at the thief's neck who was laying down. his leg was bleeding and the twin blade was kicked away.
"...what is the point of rushing a guy with a gun...if your two feet away you gonna get hit...how idiotic is that?"
the boy cringed in pain and Aravin noticed the gathering crowd "someone give me some water" and he was giver a jug of water. pointing the gun at the boys neck with his right hand he had used the water to take out the bullet and started closing the wound, he wasn't skilled so that it wouldn't leave a scar but he was good enough for a field medic.
A group of wind soldier had jumped from the roof tops into the alley and had picked up the thief. as he was hand cuffed he was taken away and Aravin was left to talk with the other soldier

((sorry i'm baaack!! mwuahahaha))
Keisuki wandered in the crowds. Despite being a vampire, she could handle the day heat, as long as she was covered. Her white hood was up over her head and a silken scarf was wrapped round her face. The crowd seemed to part around her like a boat cutting through water. Nobody seemed to notice her, as she used her vampiric abilities to make herself 'unnoticed'. She noticed a scene to her left and made her way to it. Her eyes, currently deep blue, scanned the scene, which was promptly over. She settled with looking at Aravin, studying the young man. She didn't go to close, since he was talking to a guard, and she had noticed a few wanted posters of herself around. She hadn't done anything wrong, but somebody had stolen her identity, one of the begrudged relatives of a vampire turned wild she had killed. Since then she had lain low. This was the first time she had come into the public view in a month.

Aravin had reported on what he did and the guard continued to ask around for anyone who had watched the scene, he was required to write a report on why the thief would be imprisoned and Ara had to justify the use of his gun within the city limits. the guard and Aravin had finished their discussion before the guard jumped off after his partner. as the crowd dissolved aravain noticed the posters on the wall "Keisuki...a maddened vampire... glad i'm not part of the temple..." he shook his head as he shouldered his gun. he noticed a white cloaked figure who stayed behind "may i help you?"

[Goldenwolf]

((mwuahaha bunni))
Keisuki looked at the posters of herself Aravin looked at then looked back at him silently. She strode over faster than any human could and stood mere inches away from Aravin, looking at him intensely. After a few uncomfortable moments, she pointed at his katana
"That blade. It kills spirits. May I see it," the chill of her vampiric abilities seemed to come off in waves, her blue eyes shimmering to ice blue then back to normal deep blue. Her strange axe like weapon was tied to her back and seemed shimmer in the high sun as if it were intensely hot

[Pink Supervisor|EL]

didn't i just say i dont want to be involved with these people? he said as he slowly unsheathed the blade it had glowed black almost absorbing all heat around it adding to the chill "...it can kill more than spirits...miss...but i'm sure one of your talents doesn't need a blade like this" he tried to conceal his fear but his legs started to feel weak and he was forcing himself from pushing back and to keep his hands and legs from shaking to add it felt like he was being drawn into her blue eyes. he kept the blade upside down separating the both of them

[Goldenwolf]

Keisuki's eyes slowly moved down Aravin's arm to his sword as she inspected it without moving. Reaching out one gloved hand, she ran a finger down it, leaving a blood red mark which dissapeared almost immediately
"Interesting. I have heard of this blade," she looked back up at Aravin's eyes, a red line around the pupil, almost indistinct among the blue. She looked around briefly, a quick flick of her eyes, before pulling down her silken mask.
"I need your help Aravin, wielder of the blade that kills souls," Her young looking face was completely devoid of emotion, but her eyes seemed to briefly be filled with fear before she controlled it again

[Goldenwolf]

"if you wanted my blood you would have already have gotten it....so what would you like me to do?" asked Luriyu he had started to slowly sheath his blade, he had taken a step back to distance himself and take a full view on the vampire who had suddenly asked him for help. as he stepped back he felt less of a chill down the back of his neck, the sense of danger was still there and he desperately wanted to run, but he would be caught in no time if he did. He also noticed the glance of fear in her unemotional face which helped to relieve him a bit, but it didn't stop his heart from beating faster than usuall

[Goldenwolf]

Keisuki smiled slyly "Indeed. Though your blood is not really to my tastes anyways," she glanced over at the wall with posters of her face plastered onto it and stepped gracefully towards the nearest one, tearing it off and showing it to Aravin.
"Dangerous, Murdering, a killer. Yes that is all true. But the picture is false, and so is the name. This is me but I did not commit these crimes. A rogue vampire, with the ability to change appearance. I think he managed to merge with one of the evil spirits from the tower," her eyes flickered to the topmost of the tower that was visible, then back to Aravin, "This makes it so he cannot be killed by my usual weapon. I need your blade to kill him, before he makes it so that I'm out of the picture. Permenantly,"

[Pink Supervisor|EL]

"i cannot keep up with a vampires strength or their speed...so i'm taking that your going to help?" asked Aravin, he said quite curious "and what will i get in return?...even an aspiring hero has to have to get something in return...be it money or even a kiss" he winked slyly and grinned he was still frightened but his need to continue facade probably was the only thing keeping him standing up.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Iro walked through the busy streets and had spotted two people from the fire nation thinking they were both from the frontier company he walked up to Suzuma and Kirika "um...do you know where i can find the frontier company headquarters?"

[Goldenwolf]

Keisuki sighed like a woman long suffering all men and pulls her mask back up
"Prehaps a kiss, if you do what your told," she said coyly, "As for how you can help, I need your permission to use your sword briefly. You will be doing most of the work, but I shall need to make the killing blow," she hid her face as a guard passed by and then looked at the sun
"When the sun sets we go hunting. You look green, so you best not let me down pup," she stalked off towards a nearby tavern, then stopped and looked back
"Are you coming pup or not?"

[Yellowsakura]

Kirika turned seeing Iro. "Over there in the south corner of the city." He replyed

Yume placed out a hand for Kurogi to grab it.
Kurogi hesitated at first but gradually reached out his hand grabbing hers.
"Well then Kurogi, Let us go and see the monk together." Yume says smiling leading him out the door.
Zaki, who had nothing much to do at the moment followed the two.

[Pink Supervisor|EL]

"yes mam" Ara lazily saluted and walked after her. he kept his head low and his thoughts raced a vampire hunt?...i'm no inquisitor! why should i be doing this?...maybe i should run...i have the rest of the day ahead...but i really need the money...but it's still vampires...but the money.... walking into the busy tavern he had sat down at a table and dropped his head on the table. there was a large thud and he sighed why do i always get myself into these situations?

=-=-=-=-=-
Iro smiled and gave Kirika a silver coin "thanks for the info" he had jumped into the air and used his 'flying' ability to jump over the roofs tops to reach the head quarters faster. "look for a person who caries a soul killing sword...soul killing sword...an old friend of the monk...kay i got it!"

[Goldenwolf]

Keisuki sat in the seat opposite Aravin after conferring with the tavern keeper. With slight disgust, the man bought over a tin cup which steamed
"Thank you. And what ever my friend wants," the tavern keeper grunted
"'E can come up t' the bar ifn he want's sommat," then slouched off. Keisuki sighed again and sipped from the cup, wincing slightly before setting it back down and looking at Aravin's head. She had a sudden urge to stroke his hair but she resisted
"You are probably wondering why I am using a young pup like you to help. Its not that I want to. Its more to do with your sword. I could just kill you for it, but unfortunately I have more human in me than most vampires. Despite my vampiric strength," she sighed sadly, "My sire was strong. Evil, but strong. But anyways, I should not bore you with this. You must make sure you are ready for tonight. Do you need anything?"

[Pink Supervisor|EL]

"something to get rid of the chills you vampires give off" he smiled as he put his head up onto his crossed forearms, there was a red spot on his forehead but he smiled casually before continuing"and its not my sword really... it was my masters sword...i don't even know how to work its full enchantments, but i know more than most people as most people couldn't even bring out the aura let alone...i'm not gonna reveal any secrets, but the only way your gonna purify his body is through a direct hit to the heart...then like a barrier the spirit hold will shatter and you can do what ever you like to him after that" he called for a waitress and he was quickly given a green tea, he took a sip after blowing into it.
