MENTALITY



♠Skills and Powers
Regenerative healing || Thank to the Oni blood within her, Rin has the gift of instantaneous healing. Sure, the deeper wounds may take a few more minutes to heal, but because of this, it's nearly impossible to fully harm her. Unless someone possesses a weapon exclusively designed for destroying Oni that is..
Enhanced Agility/Flexibility || Once more going back to her demonic roots, Rin has jaw-dropping flexibility and agility.. especially for someone her size.
Aura Reading || Thanks to her Oni father, this Ronin has been gifted with the ability to see other's auras. Be it demon or human, Rin can tell their current emotional state, their race and if they are near their time of death... all thanks to a normally invisible glow around each individual.
Melee Weapons || Her weapon of choice, Rin has been expertly trained to deal with blades.

♠Phobia(s) and Weaknesses
Astraphobia || As long as she could remember, Rin has had this ungrounded fear of lightning and thunder.
Athazagoraphobia || The fear of being forgotten or losing one's self.. perhaps this is the phobia that resides within Rin...something of which she will never dare to speak of.

Weak sheer strength || Unfortunately, on terms of sheer strength, Rin loses every time. She just can't help it, no matter how hard she tries to bulk up..
Faint spells || Due to her aura reading, this half Oni often experiences fainting spells and immense headaches from the usage of her power. Namely if she prolongs the time spent using it.

♠Personality

At a first glance, the word most people might use to describe Rin would be “strange” No, she's not your perky, constantly happy girl that other females appear to dispel but is more of the withdrawn into her own mind, analytical type...the definition of a closed book applying beautifully to her demeanor. Because of this, very few people actually know how to (or want to) gain and captivate Rin's attention..with very few actually succeeding. Coupled with an intimidating aura, frightening abilities that surpass those of a normal human, and a shady title of ''Ronin'', it's no wonder why those considered to be "normal" are terrified of this raven-haired Oni. They just don't approach her, it's as simple as that.

Generally speaking, Rin is a very calm, solemn-looking individual with a distant, yet scrutinizing, look gleaming in her eyes..but that’s not to say that she’s unfriendly (to her comrades that is). Unlike most reserved people, Rin doesn't fully mind the others surrounding her.. in fact, she'll even try getting to know them for their mind and not their looks. Unfortunately, while she does manage to hold a conversation, this girl is usually fairly awkward to speak with. So, unless the other party excels with their words, chances are there will be more than one uncomfortable pause or an abrupt subject change.

Another interesting point about Rin is that she tends to suddenly flip personalities on whim. Especially when angered or prodded by someone else's stupidity... Her mindset is quite the ambiguous one; for the most part she is a blunt, observant and withdrawn female...but this is all quickly masked and forgotten by others when they see her darker side. The personality of her flip is that of a ruthless, merciless and calculating psychopath who has little, if any, problem in using others for her goals or for pawns. Without a shred of hesitation, Rin will resort to using her knowledge and power to ruin or even, end, another's life.. in fact, she does it almost daily.

On the note of her intelligence, this ronin may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less informed, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge of the world and how she was treated as a child. When it comes to her own areas of expertise, she will be able to tell you almost immediately everything about that certain topic, to the extent of being ridiculously precise. Yet, despite this fountain of knowledge in Rin, she knows this important rule; She knows what she knows, and more importantly, she knows what she doesn't.

BACKGROUND


♠Relationship Status
Single

♠Personal History

Born from the taboo relationship of a nobleman's daughter and an Oni, Sayuri never had what was known as an "easy life". Her parents, possessing a forbidden love for one another, were refugees, elopers without a home to call their own.. both running from the law for the sake of being together. Of course, when their child was brought forth into their hectic life, there was no other choice but to slow down and disappear into hiding.. not exactly the livelihood most parents yearned for their precious treasure to hold. But even then, tucked away into the grossly encased forest of Gifu, Japan, Sayuri grew up in content, parental love embracing her.

It wasn't until she was about the tender age of three that this girl started to show early signs of her demon heritage. Suddenly, the beautiful cascade of gold, the signature of her mother, had discolored to that impossible shade of raven.. her once sky blue eyes darkening to a royal purple. A spitting image of her demon father.. an image that scared both parents to wit's end. After all, it was what they feared; her Oni blood was more dominate. So, as the years stretched on, new wariness was directed towards little Sayuri, her powers still unknown. Then she turned 5.

It was her 5th birthday that everything took a detour, the time of which her powers developed..and the news of a demon kidnapping a mother and a daughter spread. Naturally, such a tale gained significant attention from several syndicates and soon enough, they began to appear on a regular basis. Party sizes had varied, each one eager to boast about defeating such a formidable enemy.. yet, every party had failed, defeated by the hand of a demon. That is until the Kurokoi Syndicate appeared..and conquered. Before her very own eyes, Sayuri had watched as her demonic father was slaughtered, her mother confusingly disappearing from sight , and soon, she was left at their disposal. However, this particular band saw potential in the mixed blooded toddler and decided to take her under their wing, eager to train and mold her to a tool they could use.

Sayuri was trained like any other apprentice of the blade up until she reached the age of 14, hardship after hardship plaguing her. Yet, despite the loathing hate she felt towards the Kurokoi Syndicate, despite the growing distaste for who she was, Sayuri had quickly excelled and mastered each skill placed before her. Until her training stopped at 16 that was. Suddenly, a new attention was given to the Oni girl, the attention that befitted a bride. It was proclaimed that Sayuri was to become the bride of the leader's son, all training she received now considered void. The unwelcome news was apparently the snapping point for the fragile girl, the world suddenly turning black. When she finally came to, every member of the Syndicate was slaughtered, murdered in cold blood.. by her hands.

Traveling over Japan, ruthlessly slaying any opponent boorish enough to challenge her, Sayuri was given a new name by the people. "Rin", written in such a way that it meant cold and dignified, any traces of her birth name disappearing.

Another scowl on his face showed he didn't like the girl's response. Was she just playing dumb? Unless she was a leader or something...no...she seemed to young. The man sighed, before then saying "I don't like it when people waste my time...though that man seems to want too." Humans like him always came back...like the low-lives they were. Glancing behind him, he knew that in a matter of moments the human would come charging back in...but to an empty ally way. He clutched his scabbard together, and slid his sword inside.

He walked over fast, grabbing the girls arm, before throwing her over his shoulder like dead weight, or a bag of rice. She was quite light, so it was very easy. His felt his body shudder as his blonde hair turned into a snowy white, and eyes faded from a crimson red to a bright, glowing yellow. He felt his horns protrude outside of his forehead.

Clutching his broken scabbard and katana, he slid it back into his obi sash, and placed his black haori over it so it skillfully hid it. Quickly, he blinked, and bent his knees slightly tensing his muscles before releasing the tension.

He jumped and grabbed onto the roof's edge, and easily pulled the two up.

"Make any sudden moves...and I will kill you." He said simply, his low voice icy and sharp.

With that said, he raced on the rooftops, quietly. He didn't feel like humoring any more humans today, after all everything seemed to annoy him today since it it was the usual edo heat. As he ran, he spoke again, still sharp,

Now...What exactly are you? Your too weak to be a demon, yet too fast for a human. Keep in mind, I am not afraid to drop you from here."

A small flash of unease echoed within Rin's core seeing the bitter scowl mar his model-worthy features, a sigh that could be described as impatient soon accompanying the expression. "I don't like it when people waste my time...though that man seems to want too." were his merciless words, each single syllable cutting the air much like a sharpened blade. As he fluidly slide his katana back into the splintered scabbard, a flutter of hope buzzed through the Ronin. Maybe he got tired of me?

That illusion was as quickly shattered as it was given life. The demon suddenly marched over to her still form in a blur, his vise-like grip shooting out once more to latch onto the thin arm connected to her stature. Before even allowing a protest to escape, the stranger hauled the demi-oni's doll-esque build over his shoulders, the barely existent weight not seeming to bother him. And yet, remarkably enough, he still managed to keep the slivered scabbard together enough to hold his precious blade.

Before it even registered in the farthest recesses of Rin's mind, they were sailing upwards through the air with a feline grace. Stifling a yelp of surprise in her throat, the girl attempted her best to keep the breathing even and calm... after all, why give him the satisfaction of knowing he caused her to panic? Just before they could fall back down to Earth's greedy pull, the demon man darted his grip forward to connect on a roof's edge, his strength flawlessly pulling them both over. "Make any sudden moves...and I will kill you." hissed out his quiet voice, glass shards not even being able to be compared to the cutting edge lacing his tone. And with that, he began to run.

Instinctively, as they sailed over rooftop to rooftop, the half-oni's mind began to race with possibilities. Escaping successfully, dying in combat, falling off the roof... all of those raced through her mind, the first scene by far the most pleasurable. Sinking the slightly pointed canines into her lower lip, Rin immediately began her analysis on how to escape. Your katana.. as long as you don't unsheathe it, you should be fine.. muttered her conscious, the words wistful as always. Twitching a single hand to lay splayed across his shoulder, the demon apparently not thinking it as an odd gesture, she was prepared to escape when his imploring questions caught her off guard.

"Now...What exactly are you? Your too weak to be a demon, yet too fast for a human. Keep in mind, I am not afraid to drop you from here." If he were to observe the gleam within those royal purple orbs, then perhaps this stranger would have known his question stung. What..exactly am I? whispered that hurt voice, bitterness only slightly singeing it's tone. After all, it was the question she was in long pursuit of.. seeing as she could belong to neither side.

With a small growl of frustration, the Ronin pushed away such emotion-laddened distractions to concentrate on the skill at hand. Placing both hands sprawled across his shoulder, her feet moving in a blur to rest flat against his chest, the girl summoned strength in her limbs to propel away from his hold. Sailing through the air with abnormal grace, Rin managed to land on her feet a yard away from her captor, the sheathed katana pointed at his still form. "Beat me.. and you'll find out." came her challenge, defiance and determination reflecting back in her locked gaze.

Ren blinked, as he felt the girl moved slightly. He let out a growl in surprise, as the girl pushed against his chest to break his hold of her. He narrowed his yellow eyes, as he looked at the girl, and watched as she spoke. Did she have a death wish? Her blade was still sheathed, as she laid out her challenge. This caused him to chuckle that was thrown into a full blown laughter.

Although he was laughing, it held nothing but cruelty, and scorn. As if someone had told him a funny joke. As the fit died down, his sharp yellow gaze locked into the girl's purple orbs. His eyes held nothing but malice, but there was a flicker of amusement within it.

"How amusing! You actually think someone like you could defeat me?!" He said, his golden irises never leaving the girl's face.

He took out his scabbard from his sash, before drawing out his blade, allowing the light to reflect off towards her. He threw aside the broken wood, as he didn't need it any longer. An arrogant smirk played on his lips, as he looked toward the girl. His white hair fluttered in a light breeze, as his yellow eyes bored into the girl's purple one.

Ren pointed his sword at the girl, the point gleaming dangerously in the sun. "I'll make sure you regret saying those words...you annoying brat!"

As soon as the last words were out of his mouth, he charged fast towards her. His speed had increased form the earlier battle, since he was in his true form. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the girl, grinning. Smiling not at all, as his lips and eyes were like a predator that had cornered its prey. His sword was slashed low, aiming for her legs. The girl's forte was speed,a s he observed before, so take out the legs she can't get away.

Rin's eyes flashed, briefly mind you, with hesitation watching the demon in front of her break down into a laughing fit, anxiety and uncertainty now making her doubt her actions. What is he.. a mad man!? barked her outraged thoughts, only giving the ever-so-slightest sign of a flinch hearing the cruel scorn. When his moment had crumbled away, a silence now stretching between the two, the only sound that resonated seem to be the whispers and murmurs of the wind... and as their eyes connected, Rin couldn't help but feel an overwhelming curiosity at what her expression must be. Was it terrified? Determined? Surely, it wasn't malicious like the man in front her was?

"How amusing! You actually think someone like you could defeat me?!" echoed his incredulous tone, liquid gold never once flickering away from deep violet. Attempting her best to keep that climbing heartbeat even, the Ronin girl quelled vainly the exaltation, the familiar sensation, the comforting assurance, bubbling up in her veins, that sense of fear being lost in the adrenaline. It was then, as he drew his sword, the symbol for any oni's power, that Rin's own hand did something out of it's normal habit; it twitched on the scabbard, almost yearning to unleash the lethal steel from it's cage.. to release her true form. Don't. hissed her conscious, instead choosing to focus her attention on the arrogant smirk gracing his beautiful features. In a blur through the air, the glistening tip of his blade was pointed at her china form, his words dangerously cruel. "I'll make sure you regret saying those words...you annoying brat!"

Rushing forward, his speed noticeably faster than before, the Ronin couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Perhaps it was his increased physique or perhaps it was the confusing target he chose, but the oni just froze in place.. never mind the bullet of a human charging her head on. It was then, as he neared with that predator aura, that it finally processed in her mind to move. Jump, you idiot! screeched her conscious, the body willingly bending to it's commands. In a speed that matched his, Rin dodged to the right, only a small gash on the corresponding calf appearing. Not even bothering to give a wince, that warmth already filling her leg, the Ronin let out a small hiss of frustration. Dodging around his side, Rin created a distance between them, immediately her being focusing on finding a weak target.Aiming for my legs..? Thats pretty low.. is that all you have to offer?"

Ren grinned as he smelled the scent of blood, as his blade cut toward her light skin. He didn't bother to turn, as the girl questioned his attack. He simply turned, a grin easily situated on his lips, as his gold eyes scanned their target for the wound. It was already healed, just as he expected. He let out another chuckle, before speaking once again.

"My dear girl...fights don't have rules...Besides...because of your accursed healing ability, I'll have a bit of fun with you first..." As he spoke, he lifted his sword once again, before flicking off the little blood that was on it. A grin that could only be called psychotic was still easily visible on his features, though his eyes now held only amusement as he turned to face the girl. Why hadn't she drawn her weapon? She surely wasn't just being arrogant, and thought she could beat him without it...did sh really expect to win like that?

His eyes flashed, and inhuman speed over took him. He was in front of her again, easily closing the distance in less then a second. His sword slashed wildly, and quickly, with only the light reflecting off the blade to show he struck. He tried to slash her to the left, then to the right, then the left again. He focused on using quick strikes to give her less time to respond.

He held back his strength though, as he didn't want his fun to end so soon. Even if the attack hit, it would just cause the skin to break. Whatever this girl was, she was quite interesting...it would be a shame for her to die so soon when he just found something amusing once again.

With that thought in mind, he jumped backwards slightly, before slashing at her legs once again. It hit before, so why not again? A smirk playing on his lips through out the whole attack, and amusement as he watched the girl's movement to dodge or attack. He didn't care, as long as he had the advantage of strength, he would surely win.

"You are highly amusing, for a brat that is..." He hissed out, as he slashed.

The demon had turned to face her, a masochistic grin playing onto his lips, his liquid gold scanning her body for evidently their next target and a mirthless chuckle soon tying the madman image together. "My dear girl...fights don't have rules...Besides...because of your accursed healing ability, I'll have a bit of fun with you first..." rumbled his psychotic words, spine-chillingly cold. Adding to the theatrical performance, the assaulter merely gave a quick flick of his bade, droplets of Rin's very own scarlet decorating the blackened tiles. Eyes drawn to the spraying droplets, a breathlessness overtook her body's system, amazement shining brightly in her dark orbs. Thats..my...blood.. whispered her broken thoughts, eyes narrowing just slightly as they wretched themselves from the gore to focus on the enemy.

"Don't you dare call me a pet name, you demon! It's vile." came her quiet hiss, distaste prominent in her demeanor. Seeing his eyes flash, the Ronin's body instantly tensed, prepared for another wave of attacks to hit her.. and she was right to do so. In a blink of an eye, literally, he had already closed the distance she carefully constructed and judging by the bloodthirsty gleam in his molten gaze, he was serious about having fun.

Almost untraceable to the human or untrained eye, the demon began to execute remarkably flawless strikes, his blade appearing in all directions. Gritting her teeth, Rin desperately tried to jump away.. but to no avail. Every second she backed up was a second her skin was broken, the oni blood kicking into overdrive to protect it's vessel from any harm inflicted onto it. "You are highly amusing, for a brat that is..." was his hiss, any audible words immediately losing itself on the Ronin. After all, when adrenaline and blood is pounding through your system, any outside disturbances seem to vanish. Come on Rin.. fight! encouraged that inner voice, hope elevating the prodding further. Gritting her jaw in determination, the girl finally lashed out with her sheathed katana, all in spite of the constant slashes her body was receiving. With a tad bit more force than needed, Rin brought down the wood-encased katana onto her attacker's head, a sickening crack filling the air.

Another chuckle left his lips, as the girl commented on how vile he was. Didn't he already say he was going to show her how vile he was? With another smirk, he watched as her wounds closed almost as quickly as it healed. He could easily read her next move, as she lifted her wooden scabbard.

A grin showed up on his lips, as his gold eyes seemed to challenge her to do it...which she did. He soon felt the hardened wood on his head...Although it was clear he could have dodged easily.

He stood still, for a few seconds, as he felt whatever bruise had formed heal instantly. Ren then let out a surprising laugh, before leaning backwards and taking a few steps backward. Though unlike his earlier laughs, this one was just full of amusement. His snowy hair then started to darken, back into its usual golden color. The yellow eyes darkened as well, changing back to his usual crimson eye color.

"You knew what I was...yet you still insisted on doing an attack like that?!" He said, before letting out another laugh. Was this girl stupid? or just not that bright? Possibly both. His red eyes locked back to the girl's, before speaking again.

"Your too amusing to kill, you woman...What's your name so I can remember your stupidity?" He asked, as he flicked his blade to get the blood off once again.

Automatically, those violet orbs narrowed in wary discontent hearing a distorted chuckle fill the air, his smirk never once leaving his mouth. This man... he has a serious problem with always laughing.. whispered her disapproving conscious, a frown flitting across those fine features seeing him not dodge such a simple attack. However, the abrupt backing away was what caused shock to fall over her being. In fact, she was so dumbfounded in caution that the Ronin barely took notice of the demon's sudden appearance shift.. nor the amusement, the polar opposite of his scorn, that was quite evident in his tone.

"You knew what I was...yet you still insisted on doing an attack like that?! You're too amusing to kill, you woman...What's your name so I can remember your stupidity?" floated out his light-hearted demands, another small burst of laughter following them. Tearing her prying gaze away from the cleaning of his blade, Rin finally muttered out under her breath, agitation seeping into each word. "I'm not ''stupid'' or ''dim'', so please clear that notion from your mind." Finally retraining that unwavering gaze onto him, a vacant blank masking any emotion on display, the half-oni merely fell silent. My name... why... i mean, I don't know his.. but I could always.. debated her inner thoughts, indecisive as always.

Finally, as minutes dragged on, Rin gave a soft, resigned sigh knowing this would be the best option. Keeping that silent demeanor, the Ronin latched her gaze onto his crimson, her very own orbs lightening in color. In a heartbeat, they were suddenly glowing a bright fluorescent shade of purple, the pupils nonexistent. From her standpoint, surrounding this stranger, was the most beautiful shade of scarlet of any demon she had met before. Swirled into the bloodied tendrils around him were intense shades of spun gold and black, each hue more vibrant and breath-taking than the last. The aura of a demon.. so I was right.. mused her thoughts as the gaze travelled upwards. Latching onto a sight above his head, Rin's eyes widened just ever so slightly. Floating magically in the same scarlet hue as his aura, a name was written in a script that would even case Shakespeare to go green with envy. "Kyo...ya Kaz..ama" came her soft whisper before an attacking pain spilt her skull. In a blur, her hands went up to grasp her temples in a futile attempt to battle off such inflictions, the world blacking out.

Takaya Kaguya

Takaya simply released his hold on the scythe, as the other man snatched it with a snarl. He did give a confused look, as Takeshi spoke of the "Man not human". Comment. What did he mean? But before he could voice this question, the man had marched back into the ally, scythe in hand. It was a few moments,until he heard some wood cracking.

Then the metal man marched back out, a look of a cross between sadness, and blood-lust on his face. He raised an eyebrow in question. Had the other man been boring to fight? As Takeshi grunted, Takaya walked quickly back to the ally, expecting to see a dead body that lay in the hot sun...but was graced by no sight of that.

He did see a pile of some splinters, no doubt that was the noise he heard from. He looked toward the roof, and saw a piece hanging off. So... the opponent had escaped then...most likely when Takeshi was outside then?

WIth that thought, the quiet member turned and walked back out of the ally. He decided not to say anything towards his partner, as he may snapand take it out on him. He followed quietly, as he heard a familier loud voice. Blinking, he turned towards it, and saw Yuji and Sakurai. He let a small sigh of relief, as he saw they seemed safe.

"Perhaps...we should join up with them? Then we could go back to the leader altogether." He said, as he tried to get Takeshis's attention.

Ren simply waved his hand in dismissal as the girl retorted about not being stupid her dim. He found that quite laughable, after all the girl had just tried to take on a demon with out her weapon. And worse of all, she even knew he was a demon. It was quite stupid in his opinion.

He could see as the girl debated whether or not to respond to his previous question. Though she just stared at him, with those big purple eyes of hers. He simply tilted his head, as he stared at the girl. She seemed to be conflicted on just anwsering a simple question. Though then, he noticed as the girl's pupils disappeared in the shade of violet.

He raised an eyebrow in question, as the girl continued to stare. Ren then blinked in surprise, as he notice her eyes have a faint glow to them...that skill...it was called "Aura reading" or something. Some people in the Kazama clan had that, and that's how his plot all those years ago was leaked. So...she was a demon? But...then why wasn't her strength up to par?

Ashe continued to ponder this thought, the girl spoke, a soft and airy whisper.

"Kyo...ya Kaz..ama"

That spoken name caused him to stiffen visibly, and he narrowed his eyes at the girl. No one had called him that accursed name in so long...how did she know it? Though before he could question it, she held her head. Blinking, he walked over, to take a closer look. She seemed to be in pain...but why? Though before he could voice it once again, he felt her smaller frame fall into his chest.

"......You...." He looked down at the girl, who still was writhing in pain slightly. She didn't seem to notice that his body kept her from falling to the ground, as she battled the pain. How did she know his real name? He was sure they had never met before...so how? This question stayed rooted to his head, as he tried to think of an explanation. Could it be from the aura reading she did? With a sigh, he grabbed her smaller shoulders to make her stand up straight. She seemed to be out cold. Another sigh escaped his lips, before he picked her up and shifted her onto his back. He knew what he was doing was out of character for him, but he couldn't help himself.

He jumped down easily, before walking into a nearby inn, checking in quickly and heading to the room. He placed her on the futon and covered her, before sitting by the window. His sword,still unsheathed lay by him, and he picked it up by the handle after he slipped off the black haori he wore. Taking out a cloth from his sash,he began to polish it, absent-mindedly as he waited for the girl to wake up.

Why are you daft, Sayuri? You knew this would this happen..! chided her inner thoughts, the only voice to ring out in this seemingly endless darkness. It was always like this, whenever she blacked out from the usage of her Oni blood.. no dreams, no entertainment to whittle away with the eternity-consuming minutes. Just negative space. It was a peculiar experience, she was awake.. yet in slumber at the same time. Seeing, yet blind. Hearing, yet deaf. As you can imagine, with each passing second, one's agitation and yearning would only grow.. and Rin was no different.

What seemed like eons, the Ronin finally was clawing on the path back to light, to life. Slowly fluttering her eyelids open, the filtered sunlight abruptly jolting her head, a small groan was given. I don't remember this room.. or even getting here.. pondered her thoughts, puzzlement and confusion coloring them. Even the futon felt different.. in fact, when was the last time she rested in such luxury? A small frown painted it's way onto her lips as she gazed intently on the ceiling, even something so simple taking on an alien meaning. With another soft outward breath, the doll-esque girl gingerly propped her upper body on her elbows, regret instantly following the shift. Sharp bursts of pain sent daggers into her skull, black fanning dots blurring her vision. Immediately, the half-oni collapsed, soft padding recusing her head from the harsh flooring.

It was in that moment that Rin realized someone else was in the room, a rather familiar aura. Shifting her eggplant orbs to the side, she took in the stranger's back, a black haori casually tossed on the ground next to him. In his hands was a polished blade, one that looked hauntingly similar to the earlier strangers' Wait......it couldn't be.. Desperately trying to find her voice, several seconds passed before a clearing of a throat directed his attention towards her. Keeping an impassive gleam in her eyes, Rin finally spoke in that monotonic voice. "I'm guessing you brought me here.. where are we exactly? And how long have I been out?"

Ren looked at his sword, and watched as light danced off of it around the room. It seemed clean enough...for now. He was about to put it back into his sheath, but then remembered her had thrown it away, as it was split from the earlier encounter. With a sigh, he laid the blade back on his lap, as he looked at the red stains on the formerly white cloth. He'd have to get another cloth and sheath before he left.

His crimson eyes blinked, as he heard a shift of movement from behind him. Looks like either woken up or or was having a nightmare. He didn't glance back, as he simply stared outside the window. Though, when the girl cleared her throat, he simply turned his head slightly to show he was listening.

"We are at an Inn, as you can see...and you were out for maybe twenty minutes."

He responded simply, with a shrug of his shoulders. He was still honestly wondering why he didn't simply just leave her? Maybe he was just curious of the girl, after all throughout their small fight she was quite amusing. After a few moments of silence, he turned his head slightly. Giving the girl a crimson glance he then spoke again.

"You have an aura reading ability, correct? Is that how you saw my name?" He spoke as if it was more of a fact then a question. After all, he had met demons with this unique ability...never cared much for them until now.

Rin watched as a shrug accompanied his nonchalant response, "We are at an Inn, as you can see...and you were out for maybe twenty minutes.", an air of curiosity emitting him. Another soft sigh escaped her as the gaze retrained itself back on the ceiling, her words not entirely directed at any person."Only 20 minutes.... I'm getting better then." Suppressing a yawn in her throat, the Ronin briefly lowered her eyelids before having them shoot open in wariness, the words he gave being the cause.

"You have an aura reading ability, correct? Is that how you saw my name?" Mulling over a response, her voice finally shattered the momentary silence between them, her words being carefully placed. "You are.. correct.. Instinctively feeling exposed, the girl masterfully diverted the conversation back to him.. anything to keep from being question."So.. you are not only a demon, but a Ronin at that? Do you have any powers?"

Awaiting his response, the girl managed to lean on her elbows once more.. this time, the pain not accompanying. Attempting to further test her lifeless body, her mind willed for her toes to move. However, that was quickly halted as pain shoot through her skull once more."Damn it... still no functions..." was her soft hiss, annoyance bitterly lacing each word.

He turned his body to fully face her, as he leaned against the wall. Ren removed his sword from his lap, placing it on the left side of him, shutting his eyes as he listened to the girl's response. As she confirmed about her ability, he simply released a light sigh.

So she was a demon...but why did she faint then? The ability usually didn't cause demons to faint...and their was also that lack of strength she also had as a flaw...it didn't make sense.... His eyes closed slowly, as if falling asleep as he continued that train of thought.

He peaked open his left eye, and looked toward the girl as she directed a question toward him next. About him being a ronin...well is that what humans called a wanderer? He supposed that he could call himself that, after all he had no place to return too.

"If that's what humans call people who simply travel, then I suppose so." He responded, as he continued to peer at the girl with one crimson eye. He shook his head slightly, to show that he did not have any other powers besides his enhanced strength and speed.

Though then the girl hissed out something about functioning,but chose not to say anything about it. His other eye opened, and he looked toward the girl. "Now, with my other question...What exactly are you? You seem like a demon,yet are not one but also not human...Are you a cross perhaps?" He asked, looking at the girl.

That was the only solution he could think of, although it was quite a long shot. He had never heard of someone like that before.

Rin merely scrutinized his stature carefully, taking in every feature, be them perfect or flawed, of his form. After all, when they spilt ways, it may be beneficial to call upon this 'Kyoya'. A frown tugged at the corners of her mouth seeing his eyes close, the illusion of him drifting off tricking her. In that moment of quiet, Rin refocused her attention back onto the lower body, concentration shining in her eyes. Come on.. this is ridiculous echoed her inner hissing, frustration only making the want to increase and the impatience to flower. "If that's what humans call people who simply travel, then I suppose so." filled the room, her eyes widening in response.

Whipping her head to the side, that alarmed gaze latching onto him, Rin couldn't help but have her breathing stop. He doesn't know what a Ronin is..? Perhaps he isn't one then.. With a dejected sigh, the girl tore her gaze away from him, a new look colouring her features. A look of sobriety, of shame.. of disgust."Yes...thats what..humans call people who wander.." came the soft mutter, disdain make it evident she was lying. Sending a flicker over at his form, one eye only opened, the half-oni gave a slight shake of her head before going back to her experimentation.

"Now, with my other question...What exactly are you? You seem like a demon,yet are not one but also not human...Are you a cross perhaps?" broke her concentration, the pestering inquiry coming back from what she thought was it's death. Biting her lower lip, the girl sent a fleeting glance over at the sheathed katana aligned with her futon, pseudo innocence radiating off it. With a resigned frown, a slender hand reached out to grasp the lethal weapon. Retrieving it to sit on her lap, Rin sent a nervous glance up at Kyoya before looking back down at her weapon."My father was a demon..my mother was not however." was her clipped tone, a hand grasping around it's hilt. Pulling the blade halfway out, the Ronin gave a cringe feeling the prodding sensation above both ears. Instantly, two curved dragon horns appeared from under her hair..the mark of her Oni blood.

Ren tilted his head in question, as the girl responded back. So...he was classified as a ronin then...after all he had no place to return too. As that thought crossed his mind, he simply looked down toward his sword. A vacant look in his eyes, if it was anyone but Ren, one would call it sadness perhaps? Or maybe longing? He didn't know. Though then the girl spoke again, about her parents, and his head shot up fast. Confusion evident on his face. So he was right then?

Not many things could surprise Ren, in fact this was the most surprising things that happened to him in awhile-the other being when he escaped form the Kazama clan. His eyes widened, as the girl spoke of her parents. That was enough to show that this new fact and surprised him, as he remained silent instead of a comment. It was possible for that to happen? he had never heard of such a thing before.

Though then the girl touched her katana, and picked it up. He watched in interest as the girl held the hilt, and slid out her katana. He blinked in surprise as the girl's horns had appeared. So...that explained everything about why she hadn't drawn it earlier during their scuffle.

His scarlet gaze stared at her, for what seemed like hours though it was only seconds as he took in his form. A smirk pulled at his lips, as he murmured something to himself.

"A half-breed eh....How interesting...and amusing..."

With that said, he stood up and walked toward the futon where she sat. He sat down, crossing his legs, as he looked at the girl. Ren slowly reached over toward her, and touched her horns, gently and softly, as if to make sure they were actually there. When he felt the hardened bone under his finger tips, he let his hand fallback in his lap. A moment of silence split through the room, as he then said "Your name?"

The girl casted a flickering sideways glance in his direction, uncertainty reflecting back in her eyes. Seeing the surprise and confusion stamped onto his features, the Ronin swiftly adverted contact. I knew it.. he thinks I'm not normal. But then again..when have you ever been, Rin? countered her thoughts, a heavy sigh escaping her being. Refocusing that humiliated, disdainful stare back down onto her weapon, the girl was about to sheathe it when his murmur caught her attention. "A half-breed eh....How interesting...and amusing..."

A blush graced her alabaster skin hearing his comment, embarrassment being it's cause. Giving a small hmp of humiliated annoyance, Rin turned to stare at the opposing wall."D-Don't talk about me like I'm an object! It's degrading." Once again, prepared to hide her flaw from the world, Rin was about to close the katana when shuffling occupied their silence. Within a heartbeat, Kyoya was sitting next to the edge of her futon, legs crossed like an elementary student. Sending him a scornful gaze, she bluntly clipped out in a disapproving tone."What is it? You look like a child..a dim-witted one, mind you, who is fascinated with something trivial."

Then it happened. He just reached out, not even daring to ask permission, to touch a horn, his contact remaining there for a few seconds. Instinctively flustered, that light blush turned to a shade of rose, suddenly unsure what she was going to do a few moments prior. Rin.. what the hell is the matter? He just touched your horns! reasoned her thoughts, evidently trying to make that confusion disappear. Giving a slight swallow, the girl averted her violet gaze back down to the futon, to the hands clutching tightly at the blankets."What...was..t-that? Do..don't touch them again." stuttered out her response, distress tangible.

Once more, a silence filled the small space until the male demon took it upon himself to disclose it. "Your name?" It was a simple request, an easy answer to most... but for Rin, it ensued a long pause. Stealing a moment to ponder in wide-eyed confusion, her mind began to race. Should I tell him the truth..? Or... lie? Maybe.. he won't notice.. but then again, I'm a horrible liar... battled that inner voice, finally deciding on the latter option. Trying to keep her voice even, a bubble of triumphant fluttered within her core hearing how naturally she sounded.. until her breath hitched at the ending."I am called Rin.." Cursing in her mind, she only prayed to the heavens that this man didn't detect her lie.

Ren tilted his head in response to her insults. She was the one who looked more like an little child with her body. He decided not to voice that thought, though he was tempted too. As she asked him why he did that, though he did note the rosy color of her cheeks that had darkened like crazy withing a few moments. Now who was the child? He simply offered a shrug in response, before he actually responded.

"I've never seen horn such as these before." He responded simply, in a matter-of-fact tone. He wasn't one to ask permission to do something when it could be done. Simple as that.

Though then even more curious, he gently took the scabbard from her hands, and sheathed it fully to see if the horns would go back in. Then he unsheathed it, and sheathed it again as the girl spoke her supposed name. He didn't look up from his actions, as he responded back to her.

"I asked your name, not what other people call you."

He doubted that was her real name, after all he had heard rumors of this "Rin" girl, and he knew that the people who spoke of her didn't actually know what her name was. Also, with the fact that she took so long to anwser a simple question further gave away her name she had just spoken was fake. He continued with the sheathing, and unsheathing of the girl's sword, as he watched her horn appear and disappear. After all, when would he have another chance like this?

Judging from the way he tilted his head, the shining tint in his eyes giving off the appearance he wanted to say more, Rin could easily guess what he was thinking. With a tsk, the Ronin crossed her arms before biting out with mild venom."I know what you are thinking.. "I look like a child." Rude.. but it's true.. After all, you don't meet alot of 19 year olds who barely reach 4'11''.. though it isn't my fault. It's a side effect." At the last bit, those fingers clenched the futon even more fiercely, a burning look of hatred and bitterness appearing in her orbs. It was pretty obvious what she meant by "side effect".. after all, having two polar races battle for dominance over genes would have it's toll.

"I've never seen horn such as these before." floated out his simple excuse, the very sound of his voice chasing away any traces of smolder from her face. Quirking an eyebrow at his statement, Rin closed her eyes before muttering out.."It is still impolite." It was in that second that weight disappeared from her lap, an odd sensation in it's absence. Eyes shooting open in alarm, the Ronin's breath stopped altogether seeing him hold her katana. Eyes pleading, she practically begged of him,"S-Stop! Please don't!" However that plea fell on deaf ears.

Apparently providing endless amusement to him, Rin's horns continuously disappeared and reappeared, that tingling prodding never stopping. With a huff of annoyance, an eyebrow twitched with agitation knowing he was beyond reason. With a fleeting glance down at her legs, her mind willed her body to jolt in action. Gritting her jaw in discomfort, the half-oni girl finally managed to stand. Typically, she would have felt a glow of pride knowing what she had just done.. however, the pricks of pins and needles discouraged her to do so. With a visible wince, Rin took a step forward from the futon and towards Kyoya, who was still playing the idiotic game of "Lets-see-how-fast-we-can-make-Rin's-horns-disappear". However, just as her left foot was about to leave the blankets, it got entangled around the ankle. Suppressing a shriek of surprise, Rin forcibly turned to unravel it..unfortunately it was a mistake. She had lost any sense of balance during the struggle and in a blur, she had fallen.. onto the male demon's lap.

Rin had managed to land in his lap as if she was sitting in a chair, her back to his chest, yet that didn't make it any less humiliating. Not even bothering to contain the blush furiously creeping across her cheeks, Rin managed out a small sorry, her voice overlapping his question. With a hard swallow, her legs still quite numb, her answer came in a sheepish, distilled manner.."Sayuri."

He herd the girl's retort, slightly laced with venom, but made no comment of it. After all, she seemed to hate her demon side for some reason...was it because it cursed her with such an appearance? Or maybe for some other reason he didn't know? He continued his little game, as he was honestly, really entertained by doing so.

Though as the girl stood up, he noticed as she winced. He sheathed the sword for a final time, placing it beside him as he could tell what would happen next as the girl tried to yank off the blanket that curled around around her ankle like a snake. Ren's gues swas correct, as she her petite body fell right onto his lap.

With a sigh, he then said in a slightly amused tone. "Falling into my lap already it seems." A chuckle at the end of the sentence. Then the girl anwsered his previous question with her name. He let a huff of air escape his lips, as he retorted back to the girl.

"Now, that wasn't hard now was it?" He still didn't know why the girl had hesitated in the first place to simply state her name. Shrugging it off, he then continued to speak, as he tried to imagine how red she must be at the moment, since he couldn't see her face as it was facing the front.

"So Sayuri...what exactly did you see in my aura?" He asked nonchalantly. He was quite curious about the reading, since he only knew it could see emotions...which was why his old plot had gotten discovered...and also why he had really no place to return too, which he didn't mind as much now then he did before.
