Mallory Manor.

[Calli]

((A manor house that was set on the edge of the elegance of the Manson District. With 27 acres of sprawling landscape and elegant scenery. A black iron gate is settled at the beginning of the driveway, some 10 acres from the manor. A intercom is set at the gate, so the unwanted stay out. The fence that surrounds the land is about 20 some-odd feet high with sharp spikes upon the top.

Being a family of high privilege but roughish personality, as someone moved to look at the lands they’d see this family attribute mirrored in the plant life. Bushes that look unruly yet carefully pruned, roses flowering around the greenery. Weeping willows were spread out over the acres. As were statues and fountains. Each depicting a historical moment in Mallory history.

The branches of the Mallory family had always had a place in Iora, though the branch owning this manor was extremely distant. This of course meant some finer touches were on the manor. The path for example was of fine pink marble. Definitely not in the immediate Mallory taste. Now the home in itself was a white four story manor. The color was pure white, the door and windowpanes all black. Rose bushes of all colors flocked to the sides of the manor.))






Aaron slowly rode up the lane infront of the mansion, just to having to brake infront of a closed gate. Nervously, he honked a couple of times to maybe get her attention, but there was no respond. He turned open the window, and bowed over to the intercom-like installment on the pillar on one side of the fence. He took off his hat just before it fell off, and pushes the button 2, maybe 3 times. He moved his lips closer to the intercom, and spoke out loudly

"Sare! Are you there? It's me, Aaron!"

(Bad Clockwork ^.~ delete the thread in the profiles board! -laughs)

[Calli]

(description of Mallory manor will be up soon)


A crackling sound would be heard on the other side of the intercom as a masculine voice would speak on the other side of the intercom. "Sare? You want Sare? A actual guy wants Sare! It's a mir-" The voice was cut off and about two minutes later a angry feminine voice would speak, Sare's voice.

"Excuse my sorry excuse for a brother. What is it Aaron? I see your car from here."

She opened up the curtains and looked out as she said this. Yes there's the car. She saw the vehicle at the front gates.

[Clockworkchicken]

Aaron smiled at the reply of her brother. He laught softly, soundless, she couldn't see it from there. When Sare came over the intercom, he leaned back in his seat, and took his gun from the cupboard, trowing it in the air casualy, and catching it again.

"ahh, Sare. I might have something.... interresting for you. See it as a... repayment for last time. Maybe we can discust inside."

Jillian sat next to Aaron shivering his ass off, he stared at the manor infront of him, while listening to the conversation over the intercom. Judging to what he has been trough already, this couldn't be any better.

"you... you aren't going to kill me, right?"

Aaron looked a little flabbergasped at his friend in the seat, and then let out a loud, hearty laugh, while softly patting Jillian on the shoulder.

"don't worry, you'll be just fine"

He put his hands on the steering wheel, as he waited for the gate infront of him to open.

[Calli]

It didn't take a genius to figure out that Aaron would laugh at her brothers reply. Listening absent mindedly to Aarons little... speech, Sare was leaning her back on the wall near the front door. When Aaron finished she replied

"Aye. Gotcha. I can take you to my quarters where we won't get disturbed by my nosy family. I'll be outside." she pushed the button on the intercom to open the main gate before striding outside.

Sare's attire had changed. She wore a white top that looked much like a bra, her entire navel showing, so Aaron would get a full view of her tattoo. Her bottom half was covered by a somewhat transparnet skirt. White in color to match the top and her white leather boots. Her hair was left loose. No weapons upon her person.

[Clockworkchicken]

Aaron smiled in a kind of sadistic pitty for Sare's familly, and looked straight forwards as the fence opened. He moved his hand up, slowly, as he waited for room for his car to fit trough, and as soon as the fence was open enough, he lowered his hand on the steering wheel.

"Thanks alot..."

He sofly pushed the gas with his feet, casually driving further up to the house. As he saw her coming out of the house, he made a turn, so the passanger's door would face Sare, Jillian looking outside at her, with big eyes. Aaron stopped the car, put it on the handbrake, but kept the engin running for some reason, before he opened the door, stepped out, and leaned on the car roof, gazing softly at sare. A faint smile apeared on his lips.

"Looking good, didn't have to dirk up for me like that."

He pushed off the roof, and moved around the car to the passengers door. He nodded at Sare, before turning to the door to open it for Jillian.

"Sare, I'd like you to meet my client, Jillian."

Jillian just stared in wonder at Aaron. Client? where was he talking about? For as far as he was concirned, he was kidnapped infront of the police office. Then again, he didn't struggle. Was it really a kidnapping, then?

"Come on! Get out the car, you little puss!"

Aaron tapped on the roof of the car, and Jillian quickly scouted outside, directly scouting to Aaron. Atleast he wouldn't hurt him. Or so, he was convinced. Aaron continued talking to Sare.

"Jillian here, was whithness to some strange murders, in the streets of blood district. He will tell us everything about it inside, won't you, Jillian?"

Jillian kept listening to his own name as if every time was a whack with a whip. He slowly looked up at Aaron, and then quickly nodded.

[Clockworkchicken]

For anyone to hear, the litter of the manor's mailbox would clatter. Though there was no mailman, or message boy or the like, a small, folder-like letter softly landed on the bottom of it.

"Art happening of the year.


All are invited to the appartement of the V.G.A Jake Witty, in central Iora. An all-white party is given here, as a warm-up for the revealing of the happening. White clothing and formal wear is a must."

[Calli]

Sare arched a brow befor smiling a sarcastic smile. "For you my dear? No, no! I dressed up for your all the more handsome friend here." Soon though, Sare went all seriouse and walked down the steps. She watched Jilian and Aaron with interest and nodded when Aaron finished.

"I see. Thank you for involving me. I'm quite flattered. But I'm guessing these murders have to do with the experiment from the Nexxus Unit. Either that or something of the kind. Am I correct?"

---

As Sare and Aaron were talking another presense entered the area. One that noticed the clatter in the mailbox. Soft footsteps sounded on the cobblestone walk as a feminine hand opened the door and took out the letter.

"Oh dear. This won't do." Came a veiled reply in a silky voice. This person was heavily garbed in a black cloak. All but emerald eyes could be seen. This things steps had a feminine move to them and also a inhuman sound. It seemed as if the heavy boots had barely a chance to hit the ground.

This figure came through behind the car, therefore managed to get by the gate and enter the lands. No one would probably even notice this beings presense until it made itself known. Which was very quickly.

The being stepped from the shadows close to the humans. A thin smile extened upon her face. Hidden of course be the cloak. This being carefully unclocked itself.

Heavy leather pants, shirt and boots. All tight fitting and all seeming to hot for July. A mane of gold silver tumbled to this creatures shoulders. A feminine face and feminine curves. All but Jilian would know this demon. With the infoumas sword buckled to her belt. Then again Jilian probably has seen her face on wanted pictures.

"I'm hurt Aaron. Why didn't you invite me to this little party?"

[Clockworkchicken]

Aaron kept listening to Sare, nodding frequently, but keeping half attention to Jillian so he wouldn't go anywhere. He then perked his ears, and moved his hand up for Sare to be silent.

"Did you hear that?"

His hand moved unnoticed to his hip, where his gun was sheeted. He continued talking to Sare about the case, as a cover up, but in his head, he was counting the seconds, listening as the footsteps neared. Then, suddenly, in the middle of a sentence, he pulled his guns, turned around and aimed both guns at the intruder, this all in a wink of an eye.

"Gotcha!"

He smiled wickedly, as the grip on the triggers tightened. Just in time, he recognised the face infront of him, and he slowly dropped his arms to the side as the smile almost seemed to drip off his face to be replaced by a weird merge of disapointment and disgust.

"Maybe because you'd find me anyway, kenisa?"

((last post for 3 weeks, I'm off to polen))

[Calli]

Sare was confused for a moment before she as well caught the sound of gentle footsteps. She was unable to see whoever, or whatever was nearby from her standpoint and seeing she was unarmed she had to let Aaron keep the closest eye… or ear on the situation. Sare understood the ruse and easily went with it, speaking naturally as if nothing was wrong.

As Aaron turned, ready to shoot at the being Sare stepped back for she saw the face. A enemy she had had for as long as she could remember. “Damn you.” She whispered under her breath as she folded her arms over her chest. Why must she show up?! Now of all times? I have Aaron’s attention… I want it that way! Sare narrowed her eyes but that was the only show of her emotion

But much to her surprise and inner joy, Aaron was far from pleased to see Calli Kenisa here. A small smile curled up on her lips.

-

Calli was far from ruffled that Aaron had heard her. No she had always known he had slightly abnormal senses and for that reason only she bothered herself to deal with the mortal. Calli quirked a brow upward at the emotions showing on his face. “Please Aaron. You forget your old friend quickly. Do you forget who made you at home outside this realm? I gave you a place to stay when I should have killed you on the spot. Due to the fact you’re tempted to kill me right now.”

She glanced towards Sare, emerald hues showing a slight surprise. “Consorting with the Mallory’s now?” She returned her gaze to her rival and once long time friend. “They kill all demons you know. Even those who cause no havoc, like myself. I’m part of the reason you sometimes don’t get your bounties sweetie..”
Calli raised a hand and placed it to his cheek and gently patted it, watching all the same Sare’s murderous look.

“But,” she removed the hand. “Maybe it is good to team up with a human. Especially one who seems so deeply infatuated with yo-“ She was cut off by Sare flying forward. Catching Calli completely off guard the half-demon fell hard to the ground and got the breath knocked out of her. Sare attempted to claw at her face but those attempts went to nothing but hurting wrists.

For Calli had secured the woman’s wrists in her hands, barely needing to exert strength into the matter. In fact, Calli was quite amused and it showed on her pretty face. Her lips curled up in a half smile and her emerald hues dancing. For a period of time she was like the woman Aaron had long ago known. With laughter at the edge of her voice as she said. “Care to help me remove this little wildcat or are you going to just stand there?”

[Sakuris]

sakuris stood outside the manor, his now long black hair flowing behind the pale skin of his face, his black lips parted to show the set of serrated fangs that he still had not grown accustomed to.
His mind was awash with the dark thoguhts that usually embedded themselves within the confines of his mind nowadays, those of his past, his present and sometimes of his future, the events that crossed his mind were nothing short of amazing, the things he had seen, the people he had met, the powers that had been granted him.
But now he stood as a stranger would, upon the backdrop of an unknown world, one where he was noone in a wolrd of people, a man without cause or effect, he had been drawn here by some unseen hand, a memory form long ago shrouded in the dark mists of time, and if it were true then how would they take to this new form, no longer the old sakuris but a new body and mind, as well as feelings and desires, deep desires, desires of things that should be locked away and never seen.
For now however he merely stayed outside, his long red and black coat swirling around his ankles as his mind continued to roam.

[Clockworkchicken]

Aaron kept looking at his old 'mentrix' with a steel face for the time Calli was speaking to him. He didn't move a muscle as the hand rested at his cheek. He just looked at her with a piercing gaze, though his eyes whidened as Calli showed her hatred toward the Mallories.

"What do you say?! Aren't YOU the one who treaths all mortals the same? everyone like me, in your eyes is just a...."

He closed his eyes and sighed as Calli just interrupted him with her "but". When he opened his eyes again, he didn't even listen to what she said, but just turned away.

Everything went in a flash. Before Aaron could turn around, Calli was already on the ground, pressed down by Sare. Instead of helping, he folded his arms over his chest, and smiled as he listened to Calli's light taken plea for help. He didn't hate her, though, still, this could be te moment he had waited for.

Aaron kneeled down besides the grappeling womans, looking at Calli's face, with a mocking look on his.

" Why? This could even turn out funny. Everyone meets his end sometimes, Kenissa."

He stands up, and turned his back to the two. While his gaze was looking over the magnificent garden, his words where still turned to Calli.
"Black and white, male and female..."

Aarone went down on his knees, back next to the face of Calli. " Mortals and.... demons" this last word was almost spit in her face, and he chuckeled lightly. "It would be a funny idea, wouldn't it? The great Kenissa, killed by a little mortal" He stood up again, and took a few steps back.

"Don't take me wrong, Calli, my dear... I don't hate you." He shrugs lightly. " 'course, I don't like you either"

In the mean time, little Jillian took the time to run away, run as fast as his little legs could, back to the fence that wasn't yet closed. He didn' t look back. If he was aware of one more danger, he would probably shiver into pieces.

He was almost at the fence, and took a little sprint. Home free! He took a quick turn around the corner, just to bump up against the long coated figure that was waiting there. As he jumped back, he scurried back to wither in a small ball, protecting his head with his hands.

"I- I'm sorry, I didn't ment to.... p-please don't hurt m-me!" His voice was shaking, as if he was about to burst into tears.

[Calli]

Calli burst into laughter at Aaron. She was quite amused by his own actions as well as him mocking her. "Of course you do not hate me Aaron. And no, the innocents I let live... I never kill those who don't attack me first!" Her last was a hiss as she pushed Saree off of her, sending her into the stone stairs. A groan was the only sound that issued from Sare's body as she was knocked out cold.

The half-demon stood. Brushing off her garments while looking with scorn on Aaron. "To tell you the truth. I'd love to die. I've lost my reason for living on, only my stubborn pride keeps me from running myself through." She smiled now with self-scorn, patting her sword hilt before her eyes darted to wards Jilian's running figure. "Looks like your man is running off. I'll get him for you." Was Calli sucking up? No she simply enjoyed chasing down humans.

Running in a jog, Calli caught up to Jilian by the time he was curled up in a tiny ball, a figure looming over him. She stopped dead as her inner senses went haywire. Emerald hues narrowed as Calli drew her blade hissing with absolute hatred. "You bastard! How dare you show your face here?! You should be dead!" Her senses told her that it was Yaksha, but also somehow her beloved Sakuris.

It seemed that Calli Kenisa's one weakness had returned in some form, and this reopened old wounds. Wounds that barely healed the first time.

[Clockworkchicken]

/me took all those words in him, without even withering. In fact, he smirked softly. Calli was mad, truly, she was mental. As she ran off behind Jillian, he slowly walked in the direction she scouted off.

" Then do that, Kenissa! Just die!"

He pulled his 2 guns, and softly muttered under his breath, as he took aim on the back of her head "so you can stop being that weed growing between my roots" He slowly squeezed the trigger, though he knew he would miss at this range. A loud bang rattled trough the air, as the two explosive rounds soared trough the air, one hitting the side of the fence, breaking off some of the wall, and the other soaring past her left ear (or isn't an auto miss allowed either?).

He moved his trusty magnums up to the side of his head. " Bitch..." He holstered them, and turned to Sare, his face still cold as ice. He lifted her slowly from the stairs to lie her on a flat cirface, in this case the ground at the stairs' base. He slowly moved the golden strands of hair from her face, as his own softened. "Sare? Wake up, Sare!"

Jillian was still on the ground, now crawling into an even tighter package, as another figure apeared. " No! I-I have... don't...! Let me live!" He looked up trough his fingers, staring at the towering figure infront of him, his big glassed brown hues full of fear.

[Sakuris]

Sakuris smiled as a figure run into him, nocking him from the depths of his own mind, his blackened lips parting as glistening fangs showed from the damp cavern of his mouth, ''food'' was the instant thought that crossed his scarred mind, almost driven to madness, and his pale black nailed hand begun to lower itself to this persons throat, however it soon retracted as someone he knew came towards them.

both his heart and his mind went crazy, feelings that had been buried deep exploded from his blackened heart as his black and orange eyes fell upon the face of a woman he had loved, a woman he had not seen for so long, and a woman he had gone throuhg so much to find, but now as the wind slowly picked up around him and his hair and coat flew around his gaunt features he could not find any words to say.

Then she raised her sword to him, his mind not registering the words that she had spoken, he did not think she didn't recognise him, all he saw was the blade, and withouth thinking his reflexes kicked in, and with both the speed of a vampire and an elemental his own long bladed katane was pulled before him in it's own glistening fury, his eyes just lost orbs in a sea of white were placed almost calmly upon her, yet he said nothing.

[Calli]

Calli stepped forward as the man... no vampire... showed his want for Jilian. She bared her teeth in anger, those emerald hues narrowed as she gripped her sword all the tighter. She barely reconised that Aaron had shot at her.

The only reason, that she hadn't let herself be killed by an enimy was the stubborn hope she'd run into this foul beast, Yaksha... she was positive it was him! And be able to gain her revenge!

She tried to push down the emotions that kept her from attacking, but to no avail, all she could do was speak. "I'll kill you... if it's not today then another! I do not care that you did not kill Sakuris, but I hold you as responsible as I am! You should be the one suffering in hell not him!" She found her strength to move forward another few steps as he drew his blade, a loathing smile drawing itself upon her lips.


Now, when this soap opera was commencing, Aaron was trying to awake Sare. She groaned and opened up her silver hues to look up into his face. "That... bitch. Why the hell are you here with me...? Go chase that demon down!"
