Len Takahashi's Story

" Ow! god damnit Rin, stop hitting me!" Len said trying to contain his anger the best he could. He didnt exactly like being hit. Rin was starting to get on his last nerve with all the hitting.
" We both know that the hitting isnt going to make me put you down, so its pointless to continue it. you're too weak to walk right now so just deal with it" He said in his usual monotone voice, hiding his anger once again.

Rin gave a sigh as she gave up. She really didn't like being carried by him but she'd have to be okay with it.
"....Sorry...." She muttered as she looked away. She still really didn't like being carried but she'd contain her anger for now.
"W-Wait! I didn't introduce myself to those two people!" She yelled as she tried to get out of his hold. She wasn't going to be rude to the one who saved her.

"you can introduce yourself to the girl later, she works with us. As for that man, well im pretty sure he heard one of us say your name, so consider yourself introduced." Len sighed. He didnt inderstand why introducing herself was so important. He never introduced himself to complete strangers. But then again, why would he?.
"stop squirming, you're making this difficult for both of us. Just stay still like a good little girl and there shouldnt be any issues". Len said becoming more irritated by her annoying squirming as she tried to get out of his arms.

Azriel raised his hand to tell Rin that there was no need to thank him, but before he could she was picked up by the vampire. A few things passed through his head, although his face showed none of them. His first instinct was to kill the vampire for dare touching the one he had been waiting so long for with his dirty hands, but he understood that they were 'friends' or at least something along those lines, so killing him would gain him no favors with Rin that, and at the moment, he was in no shape to be fighting. His second thought was extreme annoyance. She was grateful to him for saving her using that he could have opened up conversation with her and learned more about her. He needed to get closer to her before asking her for her aid... Asking for her aid... asking for anything would be a change.

"Charming fellow." Azriel said, before glancing at the human who had simply stood as Rin was having her... episode. "Is he always that charming? Or did I catch him on a nice day?" Azriel said with a bemused smile. Of course, the smile was merely to continue a conversation for the sake of gaining more knowledge, but when you had lived as many lifetimes as Azriel, you no longer knew when you were acting... or when it was truly you.

His eyes slid to the one who held Rin, the cuts were not life threatening, but he doubted they were comfortable, she was a demonic being, but she had aided the Destroyer in her own way. She could be a source of information, "I am sorry." Azriel said to her, "That I cannot heal you, but I am afraid, my healing abilities do not work on people with your... unique traits." He said attempting to be polite, before lowering his head a fraction of an inch. Normally, someone would bow before introducing themselves, but information or not, he would not bow to insects, "I am..." He said pausing to gather his thoughts, "Xavier."

Rin gave an annoyed sigh but finally stopped squirming. She was too tired to anyway. Her eyes were already starting to droop but she would do everything in her power to stay up. The was absolutely NO way she would ever fall asleep in The Vampire's arms.

Willow watched in awe as the smell of burning bodies reached her nose. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. Why do people do such foolish things? she thought. Can't they just get along and make peace? A couple passed by, staring oddly at the white tiger standing beside a passed out man dressed in black. "Ya, I'm a white tiger," she snorted,"So?" The couple started running as fast as they could. She laughed in her head. People are so gullible, she thought.
Her attention turned to Dimitri. He was still sleeping, but he seemed fine. She still wondered how the sphere's effects made him pass out so quickly. As far as she could tell, he was in top form. He could have withstood that at least a while longer. Maybe it was pain, maybe it was tiredness, maybe it was the excitement over the past 24 hours. She'll never know.
She turned back into the direction of the fire. Why not? She could go in and try to save as many people as she could. It's what she was trained to do.
Setsugie told you not to. Ya, well, she didn't really like to listen to anyone else except angels and elves. And she still didn't bother to try and sense whatever Setsugie was so she was going to classify him with other people. She manifested into an ape, then carried Dimitri on her back, then manifested back into a tiger and bound off for the fire.
And she was too late! What people were left in that building were already dead. Most of the structure was burned down. Any second, she expected the entire thing to collapse. It was pointless trying to salvage it with water, she realized. She took a sweep of the area and there she saw him...Zero. He was sitting on the top of a building, watching the entire spectacle as if he was fascinated with this kind of torture. Fire flowed through her and she ached for revenge, even though he was a human.
Dimitri...what was she going to do with him. She couldn't bring him...it would make a great hostage situation for Zero. She needed to leave him with someone to take to Setsugie. She looked around and found a girl being carried by a guy. May seem strange right now, but it was the only couple who was a little bit away from the fire.
She bound for the two and caught up with them,"Hey," she began,"I need you to watch this man for me. Once the fire is put out, look for a man named Setsugie. He'll know where to take him. I've got some unfinished business to take care of." With that, she placed Dimitri's body down in front of the two and bounded off, turning into an ape again and climbing the building where Zero was on top of. She reached the top and now had her eyes locked on Zero."I do believe we have some unfinished business to take care of," she said coldly.

"Sure thing,"Lance replied and headed back to the Shikaku base to report everything that went down that night to Evangelina and Yeven. They would want to know. He wondered where Zero was going and wanted to spy, but he knew he had a duty to fulfill, so he headed to the base and entered, looking for Evangelina or Yeven. "Anyone home?" he asked, tauntingly

((OOC: Long post is long...was camping...srry for the delay.))

"Ah haha.....Im finally going insane..." Len said out loud even though he only meant to think it. There was no way a big white tiger just spoke to him, was there? Either that really just happened or he was going looney from being around Rin so much. Either was a posibility.
" Rin...did a white tiger just tell us to take this guy to setsugie?...or am i going crazy?" Len said with a confused look on his face. He couldnt believe that just happened. Out of all the strange and mysterious things he had seen and been through, this was the first time he had ever encountered a talking animal before. It was like his mind wouldnt process what just happened. It was certainly a strange event....

"She said to take him to Setsugi-" She started to say but then noticed who she was talking about.
"Dimitri!" She said happily and worried at the same time. Why was he passed out? Was he friends with the Chikyuu no Mirai now that the tiger said that? She gave a slight sigh.
"Yes, the tiger talked. Now let's take him to Setsugie...." She said.

"so im not crazy...thats good." Len said to himself. going crazy wouldnt be a good thing...for him or the people around him.
"well since i have to carry him, you have to walk...but maybe i can carry you both....nope, not gonna try..." He said and then set Rin down, making sure she didnt fall over or anything. Then he picked up dimitri and started walking to where setsugie was. He walked slower so that Rin could keep up and made sure that she didnt fall behind or anything.

Rin stood up. She was okay with walking but she had to concentrate on not tripping. She silently followed Len back to the fire which was when she started to slow down and keep her eyes on the ground. She didn't like fires one bit and didn't want to freak out again. She'd just have to keep her mind on something else.

((Just s a heads up I'll be updating my characters Belldandy and Zero, Zero I might put his last spell Shadows Asgard and Belldandy a few more healing spells, just so you guys can check. ))

Setsugie sighed heavily, most of the building was already put out "My job here is down, watch out he building could collapse at any time." Sesugie said to the towns people who where helping him with the burning building, "Yes and thank you for you help." one of them said Setsugie then nodded and walked back. Walking to Len and Rin seeing as Dimitri was there with them and at the time being he was Setsugie's responsibility "Where did the Tiger go?" he asked them.

Zero looked as the white ape climbed up and looked at him, Zero smirked looking at the primate 'So I assume she can transform into any animal.' he thought. "I must say your quite persistent, are you that eager to die." Zero said standing up on the edge of the building, and waited having his guard up for anything she throws at him.

"I don't know..." Rin said as she looked up at the building. She quickly let her eyes fall back to the ground. She couldn't stand the sight of the building and was even finding it hard to find her voice.
"She told us to bring him to you and left..." She said, quieter than before.

"Well then lets head on home, its been a long day for all of us." Setsugie said and clapped his hands, looking at Len who was carrying Dimitri Setsugie smiled before looking back at Rin she looked wobbly, "Did something happen in my absence? Rin Hayashi looks like she's barely able to stand." he said. "If you find it difficult to walk Florence can help you." Setsugie said and smiled, and began to walk to the base, "Come along children~" he then added.

Realizing that he probably looked like he just shut off, the brown haired halfbreed started showing signs of life. He turned once more to find that the red-headed woman had run off. She did seem... somewhat familiar. It was as if he had seen her before, but couldn't place where. Maybe she just had that kinda look? Alas, it mattered not.

He turned his attention back towards the angel and gave a strained smile before heading off towards Rin's scent, which he couldn't forget. It was as if his nose wanted nothing else but to tease the man with the scent. No, not 'as if'. It wanted to. It did everything in its power to torture him, but he couldn't do anything about it.

And so, he ended up right behind his master.

"Come along children~"

"Ah, Setsugie!" he greeted with another strained smile. By now, Raze had figured out that this was being caused by the bloodlust and not because he wasn't wanting to smile. The angel back there probably wouldn't think so, nor care for that matter, as he seemed like the type to not really care about it. "All this commotion happened and I didn't even-" in his perepheral vision, he caught the same red-head as before and briefly paused. "-even do anything," he finished with less tact that he had wanted to.

Now, it was becoming obvious that he had seen her before now. But where? He thought of all possible girls he had met, and she didn't really fit any of them. That is, until he noticed how friendly Setsugie was being around her. He must've noticed, as it was more of a chummy-type act that Setsugie had on. Clearly he had seen this woman before, and so Razeluxe figured the same applied for him.

He couldn't place it yet.

Setsugie walked already a the steps of the base he climbed them and opened the front door and turned around, "Len if you please, please him in the infirmary. Also be on guard this man still infiltrated our base and his intentions still aren't clear so be cautious. If you see him snooping around capture him at all costs." Setsugie said in a serious tone; He may be Rin's friend but he infiltrated our base for unknown reasons, the Chikyuu no Mirai holds many secrets on the public, information on top secret operations and structure schematics on the Base's layouts, things that the people and most importantly the Shikaku can never get a hold off.


Zero looked at the white primate and gave a sigh, and two Baishin daggers(Description in Zero's char sheet) appear on his hands one on each hand, he transferred a bit of his magic power into the daggers and threw it between the ape's feet with great speed because of the energy(I'll be calling magical power, Energy now -_-) he placed within it propels it to go faster, and jumped down the building. While he fell the Azure Grimoire appears besides him and slashes the building horizontally so it collapses.

Len nodded and immediately took dimitri to the infirmary. He set him down on one of the beds, then left. He figured that if he woke up he would sense it. Len could usually sense people pretty well, thats how he always knew where people were. As long as they were still inside the base.

Len left the infirmary and headed back down toward where evey one else was. He still wouldnt approach them, he would just be in in the realitively same area, in case setsugie called a meeting or something. Then no one would have to bother trying to find him. While Len continued walking he started having random thoughts about visiting a certain person for a few days. Maybe he would take a few days off to go visit them....or not. Len hadnt seen this person in years, but he still didnt want to take a few days off...He never took days off, not even once. Maybe he would ask setsugie later if he could...

Len had made his way all the way around the base and then headed back to the infirmary where he took a seat a little ways down the hall. If dimitri got up and went to snoop around, he would be ready to stop him. After a while he could hear dimitri get up and move around. Len didnt bother to get up and see what he was doing. He wasnt that interested. He was only there incase Dimitri went snooping around the base. If Dimitri got his hands on any top secret things it definately wouldnt be good at all. Len wasnt about to let that happen.

Len realized as he sat on the floor next to the infirmary that he had left his pocket watch in the kitchen earlier. Upon deciding that setsuugie could handle dimitri, he got up and headed for the kitchen. He walked through the silent hallways of the base quietly and with a semi- quick pace. He reached the kitchen and saw Raze and the young woman whos name he still failed to remember having a chat of some sort. He thought it was strange since Raze had a fear of women. He then noticed Chidori, who was lacking clothing at the moment. He rolled his eyes and began to search for his pocket whatch which seemed to have gotton misplaced somehow.
" oh, good morning." he said to everyone in his usual monotone voice as he did a half- ass wave at them.

Florence made herself ready to answer her male friends up coming question settling into a comfortable spot on the counter until she dead panned slightly seeing Chidori severely lacking in clothing. It took her a moment to refocus on what was going on but after a second her sight refocused on Raze's face not wanting to look at the blue haired girl behind him. "She'll put some clothes back on in a minute," She mumbled under her breath out of ear shot while refocusing her gaze to the ground only to raise and eyebrow and look back up at Raze.

Her face pulled off what most people would call a confused expression as she noticed that Raze... was kind of staring at her face. The red head's eyes widened a fraction knowing exactly what he was doing, he was checking her out. Though it dawned on her that he was probably only doing it to avoid turning around so she dismissed the other thoughts that had popped up in her head.

She was silent for a moment as Len entered the scene and she gave a quick salute to his greeting before grinning. With a little hop she was off the counter and standing in front of Raze looking over his shoulder seeing exactly what Chidori wanted. Florence let out a long sigh and shook her head sending her pony tail swishing in the air, "You know I think one fainting is good enough for me today besides..." Once again she trailed off remembering their conversation from earlier... and the fact that she had already drawn all over his face with a slight smirk giving the blue haired girl a single she had already done something devious to Raze earlier. "Oh and I'll be staying a while now I guess, with all this stuff going on I bet it would be better for me to be here," Her weight shifted from foot to foot as she felt a little fidgety at the moment, "and I mean my friend will contact me if he needs me to go on a job with him or something."

The brief moment where Florence's eyes had completely opened had scared Razeluxe inside that she had taken it the wrong way but, as they returned to their normal size, he threw away that thought. Of course, he then realized that he was in fact subconciously checking her out without the excuse. He could've actually just looked at her and continued speaking, ignoring Chidori. He doubt Florence would've cared if he had done that, and she definetly would've understood after witnessing what she wanted to do the first time. But... he checked her out. Well, if anything, she was rather beautiful. He hair was nearly the exact opposite of Chidori's, which for some reason delighted him. A change of scenery is nice, he guessed.

He slowly smiled as she declined assisting Chidori, something he knew she'd try. She couldn't help herself is what she figured. Oddly, his smile got warmer as she actually answered his question from before they got interrupted by Chidori and Len. Maybe it was because even though she was a girl, he actually had a conversation with her. It might've been... different, but it wasn't just to the point and done. He appreciated these kinds that didn't end immediately. "Well, I'm glad then," he said. "I won't mind your company... is what I mean," he didn't want to seem like he was flirting or anything... he wasn't good at that and doubted anyone would be interested in him anyways.

--------------------------

"Aww, you're no fun!" Chidori stuck her tongue out. She did fully realize what the glance she was given meant, and would have to ask Florence later what it was she did, but she still couldn't resist teasing him. Without much effort to the task, she rose her hand in a pose and it began shining with an electrical aura before low and behold, she was clothed! Within a second, she wore a casual smile that basically announced she had a short attention span, as she found herself walking up to Len, seeing as the other two were busy. Well, she gave Raze one last glance before announcing teasing him once more.

"Raaaaze~ I didn't know you were dating~~~!"

------------------------

The palm of Raze's right hand reached up and slammed into his face. From there, it started caressing his temples for a second before he reached back with one hand and did something that wasn't really seeable to his sword. It really just looked like he touched it, but he did much more. He used it. Chidori was frowning as she watched his hand reach back, knowing full well what he was going to do. "I was just having fun!" she said, glowing rather brightly before disappearing back into the sword. Raze liked to think of that as her mute button.
