(Kyi\\Finch) Black Moon Haven is located on a peice of Earth that has thus seperated from Earth. It has become Earth's second moon, but it is hardly visible in the sky as is the other moon; therefore being called Black Moon. Though it is considered a moon by some people, it is shaped like a square-ish chunk of land - not nearly flat on any sides, though.
The Haven itself is in the center of the oddly structured planet. Being small, it has few towns and cities, and is fairly easy to get around in. At the part that is considered the front lies the City of the Damned. A barren wasteland of dust covers the city, it's citizens living underground, their muffled conversations being heard from time to time. As people first began traveling across it, they believed it haunted because of the voices that were spoken, but the person was unseen.
Between each town is usually a desert or forest. Between the Haven and City of the Damned is a medium-sized desert full of the city's familiar thick dirt/dust.
After the City of the Damned is the Haven. Placing it, as I said before, in the center, but only slightly and not completely. The Haven is full of bars/taverns, poetry cafes, and other buildings. Most of its people live in the odd buildings made of a mud-like brick. It amazingly doesn't have the largest population of all Black Moon, but has most of the rogues and outsiders of the planet.
Between the Haven and the next town is a nice forest. The town that comes afterwards is highly populated; the most populated of all of Black Moon. Full of increasingly tall malls, corporations, and some underground facilities. There are two underground facilities that usually fight between eachother, and are actually barely known by anyone "up above", as they say. The first facility is the Midnight Shade complex. (My character Kyi was actually once a part of the facility, as a spy, and still is.) The other is known as Red Claw. The town itself, which is more of a high-tech place then the rest of Black Moon, is known as Metae.
The last small town remaining is a small village that takes up a tiny corner of the planet known as Uik. The village is the least populated, and seems to have lower class people. Lower then the City of the Damned, which is full of people who scavenge around for anything they can make into food or clothing. These people go into the nearby town of Metae, begging for clothes, food and money most of their time. The Midnight Shade complex has sent soldiers and other members of the complex there to help protect them and get them food - though only the cheif ruler of the village knows this, the rest of the citizens see them as fellow citizens or Metaens.
Between Metae and the corner of Uik are a few scattered, small towns. Some of them communist towns, and others now destroyed. Being either destroyed or communist, no one knows much about them. (My second character, Finch, came from one of these towns, though, since she does not speak, no one knows this.)

(Kyi\\Finch) Two strands from either side of Kyi's face fell before her eyes, the wind blowing the rest back, fluttering in the air. Rain dripped down slowly beside her as she looked across the wasteland. It seemed to go on for miles and miles, which it most likely did, blank, dead land everywhere. Dirt rising up from time to time by the harsh winds and it darkened as the rain, in it's slow-motion-like movement, fell upon it.
Empty, it was. She could not see anyone, but she sensed their sadness, their anger, their frustration and stress. People were here, just hidden. Hidden beneath the grounds.
Hand on dagger, Kyi stepped forward, gazing upon the dead land. As a harsh wind rolled by, she rose her arm to block her eyes from the thick dirt that had risen as well. She walked on, still no one to be seen.
Getting a little nervous, she slowly took out the dagger she had her hand on. She let her arm hang by her side, holding it's handle tightly while her other arm rested in her pocket innocently.
Kyi was glad that it was raining and the sky was a full gray, rather than the sun bleaching down on her. She was now halfway into the city, almost in it's heart, her destination. Her clothes weren't fully drenched yet, but she was beginning to feel the wet sink in. I knew I should've worn my other jacket...
She had calmed down now, and her dagger was back in it's pocket, and her hand in another. Half-sighing and half-yawning, Kyi knelt down to the ground and placed her ear up against it.
"I hear her footsteps..." "It's stopped!" "What is she doing?" "Everyone! ATTACK."
Kyi's eyes bolted as she jumped back, sliding out her sword. The ground beneath her began to rattle. The thick, wet dirt broke as people in rags jumped up, landing in between all of the cracks and holes.
One who seemed to be their leader stepped forward angrily, his fist clenched, "Who are you?"
"I am Kyi Moonfeather. I have traveled here from other parts of Black Moon Haven, seaking to find what's in the heart of this city. Many have said it's nothing here. But I know people are here, as you are plain before me, and there is always something nice in the heart of cities such as these." Kyi's eye twinkled as a smirk slid across her face.
The leader narrowed his eyes, "That is what you think? I have heard of you, Kyi. You have killed people. You are not welcome here, most of our people, and all of our buildings were killed by people such as you."
"Yes, I know this. But they were not like me, and you cannot deny that, for you do not know me." Kyi smiled as sweetly as she could, still sending out a threat.
"I will accompany you to the heart then," He turned to the rest of his people, "You are all safe to go back down, try to rebuild the roof. When I return I'll enter properly through the entrance." In sequence the people nodded, and Kyi and the leader walked off.
"Are they the only people living here?" The leader nodded.
"What do you think is in the heart?" The leader looked ahead, staring blankly.
"I do not know, nor do I expect you to tell me." The leader grinned and nodded, agreeing. "And your name?"
"Lord Sezuku." He replied, purposely leaving out his last name.
"I see, I believe I've heard of you, or seen you out one of the BMH meetings."
"Yes..." Sezuku and Kyi were now out of eyesight of his people, and only about two miles away from the heart of the city. Kyi opened her eyes wide, enlarging her vision a bit, and could see the top of a long, gray pole ahead. "I've heard much about you, I doubt you've heard almost nothing of me though."
Kyi nodded, "I just knew you were the lord of this city."
"And you... A nomad?" Kyi shrugged. "Moonfeather..." Sezuku grinned as the thought of bloodshed entered his mind, "I think some of your people, killed mine."
"I know nothing of my family, nor do they know anything about me. I had to leave them, them and the city. They were in a different Haven. I came here because Black Moon is where most of the outcasts and outlandish people are..."
"Yes well, other Havens attack Black Moon a lot. City Of The Damned, being one of the targets. And I must continue what was started. You are related to at least one person who killed some of my people. Revenge is now before me."
Kyi skidded back, getting into a fighting stance, her sword still in her hand from earlier.
Sezuku's rags fluttered in the wind and his eyes flashed in the rain. It was raining harder now, and Kyi felt lightning and thunder coming. She held her ground and sword firmly as Sezuku gracefully walked towards her, full of confidence.
"You are no match," He whispered tauntingly.
"You do not know me, you cannot decifer that just by looks." Kyi spoke firmly, but there was fear in her eyes, and memories were flashing everywhere. She waited for him to attack, she didn't want to harm him if she didn't have to. Though she had killed, she disliked it very much. Sezuku continued walking, a grin sliding across his face and he brought up his hands. His eyes were ablaze with anger, blood, revenge and sadness as a shock of energy burst out of each of his palms, striking Kyi in the gut. She flew backwards, landing harshly against the ground. She felt her ribcage clash against the ground, and her skin dig into the dirt and gravel as she skidded back. Shaking, she stood up, a large scrape across the right side of her face, blood dripping down.
"I did nothing, and whoever I am related to who did this, has nothing to do with me. Why won't you understand?" Kyi whimpered a bit and staggered back.
Sezuku ignored her words, and began shooting energy rays at her feet, "I do not wish to fight you!" She yelled, her wings ripping her jacket apart and loomed over her. She rose into the sky, her eyes flashing red as a bolt of lightning zapped across the sky. Wings flapping, rain and blood dripping, Kyi yelled again, "I will not fight you!" Sezuku brought his hands together, then grinned sickly. Sharply he brought out his hands and a ray of red shoot out of his palms and eyes, striking Kyi again, this time in the head. She let out a blood curtling scream as she crashed to the floor, her body skidding and digging into the ground again.
Her wings throbbed with pain as they were crunched and twisted underneath her. Sezuku stepped over to her, "So easily defeated," he said as he placed his foot on her skull.
"I do not wish to fight you.. If I did... I would be up there, you would be down here." Sezuku's eyes flashed again, and he pressed his foot down a bit. Kyi groaned, wincing.
"Suffer as did my people and I," He whispered, his words echoing across the skies with a strange quietness.

(Serena) A Harsh wind blows by Kyi and Sezuku, slowly a dark fiqure begins to appear and approach the two fighters. The harsh wind blowing the black cloak around her body revealing only a portion of her arm. The hood of her cloak covered half of her face in darkness.
The dark fiqure began to get closer as a smile ran across her dark face. A small childish giggle began to come from the cloaked girl. She stoped standing in front of the two as her giggle began to get more childish.
Sezuku stood staring at the girl with eyes of confusion yet alerted by the long Katana the mysterious girl carried on her back standing ready for an attack, still with his foot placed on Kyi's skull.
The girl giggled more slowly lifting her head to reveal her childish smile. "So I suppose you are Sezuku, the one who knows whats in the heart of this cold city am I not right?" she smiled sweetly not flinching at all.
Sezuku looked at the girl suspiously as he slowly took his foot off Kyi's skull and walked in front of the girl, as his robe and the girls cloak flew with the wind. "Yes I am, But I am afraid I have never seen the likes you around here before." Sezuku looked at the girl more suspiously at her, narrowing his eyes slowly.
The girl continued to look at Sezuku with a sweet smile on her face and bowed down politely as the hood of her cloak was pushed off by the force of the wind and her long black hair flew to the side of her face. "My Name is Serena Eikichi, I am on a quest to search for someone dear to me. I heard from one of the villagers that he had come by here looking for the heart of this city. I was hoping you would be able to help me, but I see i had cought you at a bad time." Serena Said glancing down at Kyi covered in blood and lying on the ground.
Sezuku glanced back at Kyi without turning his head but moving his eyes to the side of him. "Actually yes you did."Sezuku said more strictly narrowing his eyes more at Serena.
Serena blinked for a few moments and smiled."It seems to me you are not exactly fighting fair now. I didn't mean to impose but it seems that you are taking advantage of your apponents weakness to not fight back." Serena glanced back at Sezuku as she slowly become more alerted feeling his demonic aura.
Sezukus eyes flashed and glared at Serena with red demonic eyes getting into his fighting stance as his veins fill with anger and rage and his blood pressure increased."You think you can defeat me with that puny Katana of yours, Then go ahead and try"
Serena sighed and looked down dissapointed "I had hoped we wouldn't have had to end up in battle but if that is your choice then I have no desire of holding back." Serena said harshly as her right hand moved behind her grasping the hilt of her blade pulling it out slowly, as the blade shimmered.Serena pulled the full blade out with her right hand grasping the hilt tightly as she closed her eyes and streched her right arm back behind her digging her feet into the damp dirt and bent her knees in a low bending stance as her left hand rested along the white cold blade.Serena relaxed every nerve and muscle in her body and remembered everyone word her father told her.
Sezuku clenched his fists as his palms began to light up with balls of fire glaring at Serena with his red demon eyes.He stretched his arms out and then slamed his wrist together combining all of his energy into one gigantic blast and shot at Serena full speed.
Serena suddenly opened her eyes moving to the side at full speed almost dissappearing, and ran behind Sezuku before he was able to notice her as she grasped the hilt of her blade with both hands slashing Sezuku's back slightly leaving only a scar and quickly in lighting speed sliped her Katana back into her sheith grabing the sheith itself and slamed into Sezuku's shoulder knocking him out letting him fall to the ground.
Serena sighed once more and took a deep breath straping her sword behind her and went beside Sezukus unconisous body, She checked his pulse and nodded."Ah, he will be fine" Serena got up and looked over at Kyi walking towards her checking her pulse as well and sighed."A loyal one she is" Serena nodded once more "but I am afraid she took a pretty bad beating.Hm, well luckly I came just in time." Serena looked down at Kyi's brusied body and placed her hands over her.
Serena Closed her eyes as Kyi began to glow a pure white and all of her wounds begin to heal and her battered wings become straight and full again.
Serena looked down at the fully recovered Kyi and smiled."I hope I gave her enough strengh, but she seems arleady strong enough."Serena looked down at Kyi was she slowly began to regain consiousnous.

(Kyi\\Finch) Squinting her eyes and slowly sitting up, Kyi looked at Serena, her vision blurred. "W-who're you?" She stuttered slightly as she rubbed her forehead. Taking her hand off, she looked down and noticed no blood. "Did you heal me?" Confused, everything came rushing back to Kyi. "Where's Sezuku!"
Serena was looking around, still smiling sweetly. "What was that?" She looked down at Kyi, "Good to see you're awake. And, Sezuku is over there," she pointed at Sezuku's unconcious body.
Blinking Kyi replied, "Oh.. So, who're you and why'd you heal me?"
"I'm Serena Eikichi, I healed you because Sezuku shouldn't have hurt you, plus, I need you to answer some questions for me. I'm looking for someone who's searching for the heart of this city, do you know anything?"
"Well, I am, but I may be the wrong person you're looking for since a lot of people try to get to the heart. It's supposed to have some valuable stuff there..." Kyi looked down, her mind drifting. The harsh winds were now a little calmer but Kyi's hair was now flapping around everywhere along with Serena's cloak. Serena sighed and rubbed the back of her neck and looked up.
There was a long silence, besides the wind and flapping of clothing. The wind picked up again and Kyi's pants' zippers and other chains began to clatter together. "Who exactly are you looking for..?" Kyi looked up at Serena, blinking a bit and decided to stand. She wobbled at first but caught her balance before anyone could notice.

(Kyi\\Finch) Leaning back, up against the wall, her hood shadowing her face again, Kyi looked around. Deserted. Empty. Sighing, and taking down her hood, she pushed off the wall, and walked up to the bartender.
"Cream," She said, yawning. The bartender looked at her, confused.
"Just cream?" He answered, raising his brows. Kyi nodded, and the man turned around, then faced her again, handing her a bottle of cream.
"Thanks." She said as she grabbed the bottle and walked back to her corner.

(Onizuka) He knew he would have problems as soon as he stepped into the bar. The sharp acrid scents of alchohol and spilled drinks burned Wolf's sensitive nose, adding to his natural claustriphobia and generally making him almost panicky. Nom Anor's unnerve at the obviously manufactured tables and chairs, the smooth, straight, and inorganic architecture of the structure were making him want to lash out at something.
Calming his minds, the man took in the bartender, who was leaning over the counter with late-afternoon boredom. What to drink?
His thought was immediately answered as Xero woke up and hissed BLoOooodD.. The thought had a calming effect on Nom Anor and partially on Wolf, and the man was about to go to the counter and order a glass of blood when another mind woke up.
You idiots! You can't order blood here, it's a bar, not a fetish cult meeting, you sick freaks! The voice was higher pitched and demeaning, the fourteen year old Ink. Having already gotten his word in, Xero mentally shrugged and went back to sleep, and it seemed the man's problems were subsiding, until Nom Anor had the bright idea to kill the bartender.
Wolf! Cannot kill here, Wolf! Sacred place of drinking, like river's edge! Says so in the Book of Good Farming, right here and now! Wolf!
The man had stepped into the bar and stood there during his mental battle, and the bartender and a girl in the corner would looking oddly at him. The group of minds fought for another couple of seconds.
Let me do this, you stupid freaks. The man walked up to the bar under Ink's control and tapped the counter. The bartender, who had been scrutinizing the strange man since he entered, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I help you?"
Onizuka's pained mind flared into the others, reaching into the trenchcoat pocket and dropping some currency on the countertop. A few coins that had been picked up in different universes and dimensions, and a small but impossibly beautifull ruby. The bartender tactfully asked no questions, sweeping the strange currency into a small pocket. "What can I get you?"
Crap. I'm only fourteen, I don't know anything about booze. Gimme a hand here, guys. Wolf didn't understand 'booze', but hoped it wasn't the strong smelling, nose burning stuff that had been spilled on the floor recently. Xero and Nom Anor only vaguely understood the concept of the bar. Onizuka took control again.
"Warm Sake, please. Higurashi, if you have the brand." The bartender frowned. "Don't know about that brand-- I'll go and check in the back."
The man stood awkwardly at the bar as the bartender dissappeared through a small door beside the shelves of drinks. Ink spoke up in their head, Higurashi Sake? He's never even heard of it. You're making us look like freakin' newbs here. Onizuka inwardly frowned. He hadn't had Sake since he had been alive, which had been in the Feudal era of Japan. Let's kill the bartender, Nom Anor again demanded. Wolf, Ink, and Onizuka simeltaneously said, NO. Xero was still partly awake and laughed at all of them.
We're trying to fit in and be normal, so we'd appreciate it if you'd just SHUT UP! Ink screamed. The bartender shortly returned with a small, dusty bottle. "Only sake we have, I'm afraid."
Onizuka curtly nodded to the Bartender and took the bottle. They all immediately felt like throwing up, as Wolf's keen nose had picked up the sharp scent of the sake and was nauseous. All of them would have preferred to sit in the dark corner of the bar, but a girl who smelled of cream and freshly sharpened steel sat there already.
They sat in the back of the bar, a booth that caught little light from the backlit bar. Ink sighed. We won't be able to drink this, will we? Their stomach wrenched at the thought, thanks to Wolf. Wolf's orange eyes glowed beneath the dark goggles, and the man who sat at the booth could be heard to whisper, "Couldn't Wolf have just asked for warm milk?"
"Right here and now?"

(Kyi\\Finch) Her back pressed against the dark, slightly wet corner, Kyi shook out her hair and took one last sip of the cream, throwing the bottle aside. The shatter of the glass turned heads towards her, but she glared at them all as she stood.
Walking as casually as she could with the emotions growing inside her, she approached the man who had entered only moments ago. She dragged a seat that was at his table back with her foot and sat.
"Who're you?" She said, narrowing her eyes, noticing he was having a hard time answering.
What's his problem? Echoed in her mind as he stared.
"The hell? Are your goggles glowing?" Kyi's eyes bolted, opening wide.
Folding her arms, she waited for the man to answer. Thoughts rising in her mind, Well.. you had no choice. I mean, what were you gonna do? Nodding inwardly, she glanced around the bar, leaning towards the man.
"You know, if you don't watch yourself, some of these guys are gonna get you. You just seem kinda disturbed or somethin' to me," She whispered as she leaned back in her chair.
I want more cream..

(Onizuka) The man looked across his booth at the girl. His silence didn't mean he was at a loss for words...
She knows! Kill her! Under the dark goggles the man's eyes were flickering from red to orange and back again. Hold on, you idiots! Wolf smelled metal, she's armed!
Kyi's eyes widened further when she looked more closely at what she could see of the man's face. His skin was mottling, shifting, fur was growing and then dissappearing, his cheeks would line with scars and then be whole again, and he was just staring at her, unspeaking.
wE cAn sMEeell hEr... A single bright spark curled from the edge of his goggles and faded into nothingness. HErrr BlOoOoood.. Onizuka forced the stray thoughts away and took control.
"I'm sorry, my mind was wandering. What did you say?" He pulled up the goggles onto his normal face, revealing plain, green eyes. Wolf! Wolf will throw up soon! Right here and now soon!
Onizuka swallowed the bile back and grimaced. You guys are tiring me out...

(Kyi\\Finch) Kyi raised her eyebrow, smirking, then scoffed a bit.
"Who're you?" She asked again, "Never seen you before, not anywhere in this place. You all right? You look like your twitchin' or something."
Rising her arms above her head, she stretched them, then interlocked her fingers and pushed on them, crrrraacckkk! Sighing in relief, now that her fingers felt a bit more relaxed.
Glancing around the room, noticing a few people glancing at her, she glared at them all, again. Feeling a bit insecure, she slide her hand onto one of the guns resting on the left side of her belt, then placed her right hand on a dagger's handle.
Her thoughts rose up again, and she winced slightly, forcing herself not to show any pain. Stupid, stupid, meeeeaannn.. Selfish little... Kyi's body shook a bit, and she gripped the dagger's handle tightly, now.

(Onizuka) "I've only just arrived in the city and came in here to rest a bit." She's going to attack us. I can see it in her eyes, Nom Anor insisted. LEt heR...
A definite orange hue came to his eyes, but there was nothing he could do about it right now. Up close, Wolf could smell gunpowder mingling with the scent of fresh steel. Hair sprouted along the man's neck and his face stretched slightly, the beginning of a muzzle.
Not good, not good! Everyone's staring at us, you idiot! Get back! Wolf continued, however, to the fore of the mind, and his physical appearance followed suit.
The bartender swore as customer's heads turned to see the Wolf sitting where a man had been moments before. Wolf knocked the acrid bottle of Sake of the table, sending the bottle to fly across the room and break on a vacant table.
"Wolf! Right here and now we must go. Please excuse Wolf, Misses drinking-cream, Wolf must go outside now." His simple head had been cleared of the others momentarily, and he walked out of the bar, feeling the eyes of everyone on him as he left.
Kyi stared pointedly at the bulge at the back of his trenchcoat. A tail, too?

(Kyi\\Finch) Blinking a few times, Kyi laughed and turned to everyone at the bar, all staring at her now.
"The hell do you want?!" She yelled, "You've all seen weird nuts like that, get back to your drinks, fools." Kyi rolled her eyes as she walked up to the bartender. "You got anything on him?"
"Schizo?" The bartender shrugged.
Kyi nodded and pushed off the counter, walking out of the bar and found the man walking down the street. Kicking back one of her feet, and springing forward, she leaped up then landed beside him.
"The hell was all of that about? And, Mrs. Drinking-Cream?" Kyi laughed a bit, again, "Good one... Heh. I try not to get drunk - ain't good for me, you know? Cream's sweet, anyways."
She slid her hands into her pockets, placing two of her fingers belonging to her right hand over the handle of one of her daggers. She yawned, then shut her eyes as she winced again. Selfish, selfish... It's all about YOU.... Selfish, selfish... Biiittcchh.. Kyi forced herself not to scream, and curled up her left fist in her pocket, stretching the black threads.

(Ronin) Ronin had stumbled upon the Black Moon Bar several days ago and somehow her impulse to travel had quelled as soon as she had stepped foot inside the questionable establishment. For days, she had seated herself at the same table, clad in her plain travel clothes, making herself as scarce as the shadows playing on the heavily stained walls of Black Moon.
It was currently night time and the few, but interesting customers were already in their usual seats.
So far this night, the display that stood out most in her mind was the confrontation between a girl whose name was Moonfeather and a man who obviously had an impressive array of problems. His physique could have been described as ephemeral. She had not idly observed him for more than a few minutes before he managed to break out into fur, sprout an extra appendage, and manage to regain his more humanoid traits.
Ronin toyed with the possibility of him being a werewolf... one whose monstrous counterpart manifested itself a little more often than most.. She tired very quickly from her attempts to logically explain away his condition and cast her attention elsewhere.
As to the girl... There was something very familiar about the way Moonfeather’s shoulders slackened after she finished telling off the other occupants of the bar. And the way her hands twitched and her head jerked fractionally to the side at certain times gave Ronin the impression that Moonfeather wanted to rip something vicious out of her ear.
‘Disembodied voices?’ Ronin thought wryly as Moonfeather followed the non-werewolf outside the bar. She could not stop the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. Her own demons were yelling at her.. and right now, they demanded numbing amounts of alcohol.
Too bad her body craved even more obscene amounts of sugar. The taciturn wanderer reached for her glass of chocolate syrup and tipped some of the contents into her mouth.
‘Forget about love,’ she quipped to herself as she absentmindedly licked her lips for any lingering sweetness. ‘I wouldna mind fallin' in some chocolate..’
She was pulled from visions of chocolatey heaven when a figure paused upon crossing the threshold of the bar. Her curiosity immediately perked. Another intriguing individual?

(Onizuka) Just Wolf walked beside Kyi outside of the bar, one of the brief periods of singular thinkings the man had. He had taken off his boots and walked barepawed in the dusty street. His coat and six swords wrapped in a sash were carried over his furry shoulder.
"You fight with those?" Kyi asked, her hands deep in her pockets. He turned toward her, his warm orange eyes glowing by some trick of the evening sun.
"Wolf doesn't," he said simply. One of his paws distractedly scratched at the other, as if for a flea. Kyi noticed what looked like a snake wrapped around his ankle, apparently sleeping. She decided not to ask.
"But," Kyi cocked her head, "Someone in there does?" Wolf nodded his muzzle and looked away. The girl from the bar was losing her cream smell, and taking on a scent of her own. A Kyi-smell.
They stopped at a small corner where the edges of two buildings met. "Wolf sleep, right here and now." He abruptly placed the boots, coat, and swords on the ground and then curled up on top of them and closed his eyes.
Kyi stood there for an awkward moment before stepping away. "Well, it was nice meeting you...Wolf."
"Not Wolf," he murmured. "Only sometimes Wolf.." A split second later his breathing evened out and he appeared to be sleeping. Kyi stood and watched the fur recede from his body, and moments later it was no longer a Wolf, but a young boy who was curled up on the pile of things.
Riiiight... She thought, finally taking one of her knives from her pocket. She spun the worn handle, rolling the blade over her fingers with an expert grace. What will he wake up as?

(Kyi\\Finch) Turning around from the curled up boy, she walked back up the street towards the bar, muttering to herself from time to time in a low whisper.
Youuu couldd helllppp himm... Kyi growled gently under her breath, and aburptly stopped twirling the handle of the dagger. She flipped it back and slid it slowly into one of her pockets. It could make up for your selfishhhh-nesssss-nesssss..
"Shut... up.." She whispered quietly to her mind, looking up to see if anyone heard her. A man past by her, only giving her a concerned passing glance, then continued walking. Sighing, she rolled back her shoulders and slid her hands back into her pockets.
Trying to calm down her thoughts and keep out any bad memories, Kyi slowly shuffled back to the bar and took her place again in her corner.
When she arrived, though, she spotted someone in her corner. She walked straight up to the man and stood behind him and quietly coughed. The man was facing the corner, sitting down, and kind of hunched over. Kyi coughed again and the man twitched. Getting a bit annoyed, Kyi spoke firmly, "What are you doing?"
The man flicked his head to the side, then flicked to the other side and scratched his ear. "Sitting..."
"Move, anyone who knows what's good for them won't take away my little place of thought." Kyi's eyes narrowed as the man grunted and laughed quietly to himself. Hesitating, Kyi lifted up her leg so her knee was level with the middle of the man's spine. Pulling her leg back a bit, and taking in all the anger she could conjure up she kneed the man right in the middle of his back and heard him cough loudly. He hunched over more now, and kept coughing.
"Kyi!" The bartender yelled, "Why must you hurt him? He is only passing through and needed a place to sit."
Kyi grunted at the bartender and let the man stand up and walk away. "Go sit at a table, fool." She muttered to him and sat back down in her corner.
As soon as she got comfortable, guilt rushed all over her and she hit her head against the back of the wall a few times. She looked around for the man, and noticed he had left. "Jeff," She turned to the bartender, who happened to be cleaning a glass. "Jeff, if you see that man again, tell him I'm sorry." The bartender nodded, knowing that Kyi had had a little guilt rush and finished cleaning the glass.
"He should be back tomorrow, I'll talk to him for you."
"Thank you." Kyi looked away and pulled up her hood, shadowing her face once again.

(Serena) Serena walked down te cold dark side walk. She kept her head down looking at the ground as the hood of her cloak covered her face. She wraped the cloak around her body more tighter looking for warmth.
It was a quiet and still night, all that was heard was the jingle of the bells wraped around the sheith of her Katana, and the footsteps of her own.
Serena slowly came to a stop as she walked into a nearby Bar she walked by. She looked around to see not many people around. She sighed and sat down by the counter and got the bartenders attention.
Serena smiled sweetly "Um, Excuse me". She asked politely.
Some of the men and women sitting at some of the tables behind her stared at her oddly. Serena began to feel a bit uncomfortable. Feeling all of there eyes on her did not help her feel welcome.Serena was tried, She had traveled three days without a nice hot warm meal or a nice welcome place to stay. She had been running out of money and getting into many fights, she had not felt welcome at all ever since she frist came to this place. Serena sighed once more trying to ignore the cold stares.
The bartender turned and looked at the odd girl and her smile. "Yeah, what can I get you?" the bartender said a bit harshly as he continued to wash the glass in his hand.
Serena smiled at the bartender once more. "Um..I would like some lemonade please if you have any". Serena said as her throat began to get dry and she yerned for the sweet and sour taste of lemonade, which by the way was her favorite drink.
The bartender looked more strangley at the girl and then burst out in laughter. "HAHAHA!You Gotta Be Kidding me!!!I'm afraid we don't serve lemonade here in bars little lady". The bartender said still in laughter as the people began to whisper and giggled in the background.
Serena blinked and looked dissappointed. "Ah..are you sure, all I really ever drink is Lemonade you must have some, Please". Serena looked at the bartender pleadingly, ignoring the people behind her.
The bartender looked at the girl suspiously then sighed. "All right, I'll see what I can do". The bartender said softly out of pity for the girl and went into the back room coming out with a large glass of lemonade. He placed it in front of the girl and smirked. "There ya go little lady, one lemonade".
Serena smiled big and tackled the glass drinking almost the half of the giant glass in one gulp and then slammed it down on the counter letting out a sigh of relief and smiled big as she began to regain all her strength back."Ah....NOW THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!Thank you so much!!!!!You are very Kind. Much kinder then most of the other people I have met here, everyone just wishes to start fights and I do not enjoy fighting so much". Serena said almost whispering hoping not to upset anyone as she looked around.
The bartender blinked and laughed. "Ha, your not around from here are you little missy?". The bartender said looking at the girl oddly again.
Serena looked at the bartender and blinked nodding slowly."Yes! How could you tell?". Serena said suprisingly.
The bartender laughed again."Lucky guess. Ha, and most of the people don't seem to fond of ya either".
Serena rubbed the back of her head and laughed at herself. "Eh heh heh, Yeah. I have been traveling around here for awhile now and I have gone days without a hot meal or a nice place to stay becuase I am so unwelcome in this town. I don't understand what is was I did to make so many people hate me".
The bartender continued to laugh, he began to wash a glass in his hand with a cloth that he had in the other hand. "Heh well, everyone in this town hates each other. There isn't one day without a fight going on. Everyone fights here to show how strong they are and all. But you don't seem like the type who would want to show off your skills, knowing that you hate to fight and all. What are you doing in this hell of a town anyways, if ya don't mind me askin?". He said as he looked at her curiously.
Serena blinked for a moment as the expression on her face become more sober and she looked down. "Well, I am on a quest, to search for someone dear to me. I heard he came by here so I have been searching day and night, I hope to find him soon". Serena looked down as her hand began to play with the necklace around her neck and memories began to flash before her sober eyes.
The bartender looked at the girl at bit concerned then turned his attention back to the cleaning of his glass. "Well seems like this someone is pretty important to ya. How bout I let you stay with me". My apartment isn't to far from here, you can rest there for awhile".
Serena blinked and smiled. "Thank you so much!!!You are truly a kind person". Serena said with excitment and bowed her head slightly.
