Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryuu glances to Tarik, then back to the slave. "Hear that? Not a bad idea, huh? " She says with a squeeze as the slave started to struggle. "I might as well, I always am thirsty." She says with a lick of her lips making the slave start screaming for help. "I'll return once he's dry.." She says to a glance to Tarik then back to the slave. "Come on now, I'll make it quick." The slave settles briefly as she drags him outside. A few servants watched in fear, as the servant she held tried to remain calm as he reassured himself it would be quick. Once they arrived, she threw him into the wall. Her eyes turned into a brighter red as she forces him to drink one of her vials. Slowly he fell to his knees, as she sat in a chair watching him. "You said...it..would..be..quick." The servant begged her as he struggled making her only smirk. She smirks wider," I lied." He starts to tear at his throat as it seemed invisiable hands were choking him like no other. She simply watched then when he was still half alive, she bite his neck then started to suck him dry. (LOL All that for stepping on her tail...XDDDD I lovveee it!)


Aku blinks as he kisses her, her shock almost increased as he did. Yet, she couldn't help but notice how peaceful it was. It was almost like he never had changed, still warm as he embraced her. She looks back at him, her eyes not lying as she reassures herself he had changed. Some would call him a monster now, yet she still saw the man she fell in love with. She kisses him back with more passion, to reassure him she still loved him even after his change. I always will.. She embraces him, the subject still curious yet she chose to let it slid for now. The boy she agreed with, yet wondered how such a boy was so alone and so healthy. She worried for his father, perhaps a reason he left his son behind? She dismissed it as well, trying to focus on Slayer before her mind overflowed with ideas.

The party was winding down for the night. The main party would resume the next afternoon for the bigger New Year's celebration that would go until the big fireworks celebration. Guests came and went from the banquet room, some went to bed, others mainly the vampires were just getting started. Tarik gets up to stretch his legs and watches, slightly jealous, as Ryuu toyed with the slave before taking him.

He gets an idea...a hunt. He asks the vizier to set up a slave hunt for the demons and vampires. They could race to catch the slaves then bring them back then see who can be the most creative slaying their prey. They would only have until the moon was just east of the temple so that the vampires could retire before dawn. The party goers agree with glee, it would be more fun then sitting and drinking the night away. The vizier agrees and makes arrangements. 3 men and 3 women were given special collars and told to run. They had 1 hour to hide.

Sky continued to dance, all the while thinking of a way to get Traik, she glanced at the guardians for a moment, "You know...I can still become a mosquito..." she said quietly. "I can just transform into a mosquito when I need to. I can be other animals like a rat or something..." she told them, "I'm willing to go out there..." she said with a light nod.

Sasori sits in the dressing room they were escorted to. They are told that they will not perform until the next day in the afternoon for the New Year celebration. She is a little relieved, that gives them more time to practice and put a plan together.

Sasori says to Sky, "Maybe you can do the mosquito then turn into a monkey since it is the year of the monkey. Then they will think it is part of the act. Need to make sure there is a slight delay in the reaction to the sleeping potion so that you have time to get out of there so they won't figure out what we are doing."

Sky nodded, "Yeah! That sounds like a good plan to me! But..." she said eagerly with a light smirk, An other adventure...this is gonna be fun! she thought happily. She sat down to rest a bit from all the dancing. "I can transform into a rat or a sparrow also..." she suggested with a shrug. "They are smaller and can get way faster if they are in trouble..."

The slaves run off, rightfully scared for their lives. They were not really slaves but prisoners that were released. They at first thought they were pardoned because of the new year but learned that their fate was much more sinister. They had seen the demons and vampires and realized that they would literally need to run for their lives. They run in their tattered prison clothes, into the cold mountains.

Tarik can't wait for the chase. He loved hunts. Sime of the hunters were making side wagers against each other for bragging rights. Tarik challenges Ryuu, "I will bet you a gold coin, that I can beat you back to the garden with a slave." He has a slight smirk on his face.

Slayer closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep. He woke up in the middle of the night.. The Room had become cold again. With his new body he did not feel the cold. But he could see his breath.

A Voice began to speak. " Can you feel it. The new power that surges though your body. The sins of your past haunt you. But who could blame you young one . Your sword Holds the key . Since with it you can Steal souls. Did you not know that when it turns red. You could drain a person soul. "


The voice went away and Slayer looked around the room. looking for the Person behind the voice . But like the last time No body was in the room. He lay back on the bed breathing heavy

" Why do these voices haunt me when I sleep. What are they trying to tell me this time. He did not know as stay awake until dawn. Another night that Sleep did not come to him
