As the wind sings for me...

[Nakai Beritu]

The warm wind was blowing softly over the city of Kyoto. Through the years, fall had become warmer and warmer as the years past, and yet, it still was the same. The leaves had turned to those beautiful colors and walking around the long streets of the ancient districts was a pleasure that very little people could afford at that point.

It was not quite a dangerous city, but it was hard to get past the high security block that the empire had forced on everyone. They refused to see another 'Tokyo' rise. It would have been the downfall of the empire and it would have made things horrible. As the days past and that the leaves fell, less and less people were walking outside, for it was warm and yet at night everything was going cold, and it fell quickly so it was ahrd to deal with.

As he stood alone on the roof of the temple, his dark blue eyes scanning over the horizon, Berith knew that this life was really his and that this town was not out of reach. He leaned back and he breathed in deeply, letting the warm hair fill his lungs and he seemed just as though he was about to fall. This was life...

[Ciel De El Aram]

A small hand suddenly caught the back of his shirt, a blade so quick that it was blurred in the movement pressed against the man's throat his head being forced back by the action. "Do you wish to fall? I would make my job easier." The man was one of the most lethal of assassins, though he looked the part of an innocent boy, he was stronger then he looked.

"Don't move or I'll just finish it here." He had been told to make this man 'disappear' by his contractor, and he had spent the day tracking the man down until he was completely alone. Mauve eyes burned under reddish-brown locks, his grip like steel on the man's hands behind his back, almost completely immoblising him with his movement.

"Do you wish to die?" He almost purred, his voice was something deadly and haunting to most.

[Nakai Beritu]

"...because you think throwing me down a roof will kill me?"

It was odd how this man took the news. It was like he did not understand how dangerous the situation was, but... But that was different. He was just unable to acre at the moment. What would it change if he was thrown down that building? The ground was very far and yet, he was not afraid to die.

Was he overconfident or simply suicidal? Hard to tel.

He He looked back to the other man, his dark eyes seeming to show no emotion. His voice was very cold and he lifted his hands a little. He did not show any signs of agressivity and he was wondering why there was this man behind him. Why would someone want his death? Well... there were reasons, but reasons which were unknown.

"..I have no intention to die here."

[Ciel De El Aram]

Strong restraints were fastened around the larger man's wrists, the blade so sharp it left a very slight bloody slice across his throat, before he was pushed away from the edge. "I was told to make you disappear. Killing you would just spoil the fun."

He couldn't deny that him being paid to remove this man... was more a pleasure then some of his previous jobs. Unlike his twin brother, Ciel was a lot more into having a bit of -fun- with his prey. Escape was not something anyone had done from him yet.

"Oh you wont' get to far... trust me on that, the poison you've ingested is enough to be sure you don't have the strength to escape." His family was experts at herbs and that included poisonious varieties... this man would most likely die in a few days without him giving him the antidote for it. He was not physically storng enough with someone this size... and thus the need for some preventative measures was needed.

"Dont' try to test my patience."

[Nakai Beritu]

Once more, the very tall man did not fight back. Was he expecting that to happen? No, but he had been told that this place would be dangerous for him, and not because he was of mix blood. He was just a man who tended to stick out of a crowd and he was really easy to spot. He was just there and he glanced at the other man, not seemingly caring about his presence at all.

"...I don't care about your patience, nor about your petty concerns."

He had willingly taken the poison, it was the only way to have the other man show up. It was not the first time he had someone trying to kill him, but this time it would be touchy, he would have to lie his way out of that one. His body was still responding but he could not unlock his powers in such a place as this.

"...Just do your job... if that's what your point is..." He bowed his head and lookd to the ground.. what was he to do?

[Ciel De El Aram]

Something was up with this! "You took it willingly..." His blade moved away from the other man's throat, pulling away as he almost glared at the other man, it become obvious that he had wanted to lure him out... What the hell was up?

"Why?" He didn't like this mess... because he had been lured and and he didn't know whether someone was around to get him this time. His smaller body backed up a step, thi swas not something he wanted.

Mostly abandoning the mission was the best way to go about this... Though still restrained the other man posed a danger because he had known he was being hunted...

Just great...

[Nakai Beritu]

The taller man closed his eyes and he tilted his head so that he was not facing the smaller boy. He was forced to answer the truth. Well, it was such a complicated thing, but he did not care at all. He would get through this one, or perhaps he would not, and in the end, he really would not care about this. He sighed softly and he nodded. He had taken the thing willingly, but why not?

"...I rather see the face of men who want my death."

He closed fought the restrains a little but he was not feeling that good. At least it took a little while before everythign was hitting him since he was so big. "It would make my final rest a lot more comfortable to know by whom I was killed."

[Ciel De El Aram]

"No fun." And that rather adorable face turned slightly into a pout, usually he would just release the other man somewhere far away and either memory wipe them or just give them something to keep them happy if they were to 'disappear' but if it was kill then it would be kill. But someone wanting death was not fun at all!

"You were a 'no kill' mark anyway. You just had to disappear. It won't kill you anyway. You had too little to do much other then make you easier to handle." Crossing his arms the boy looked adorable. With a soft sigh he turned away, "You need to capture me before I tell you who wanted you to just disappear..."

The boy moved forwards, he might as well enjoy the moment even if it was screwed up! "Cute though." And he kissed the man hotly, a happy little smile on his lips.

[Nakai Beritu]

That was something the taller man had really not expected. Why would someone do that? It was not something that he thought people really did to their prisonner and that was not something he had enjoyed at all. He frowned deeply, his blue eyes somewhat shimmering of a more purple color, as though his anger showed through the crystaline orbs.

"...I will not be your toy."

That was something that he would not accept and even though that poison was still numbing his limbs he tried to get free. He really did not want things to go that way and so he would have to do something about it. The leather of his shirt seemed to make a cracking sound under the constant effort and he bit in his lip very slightly. There was nothing to do.

"...I will neither try to catch you, nor play this game..." Though he really was in no position to argue, he still would not get walked all over.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"You're going to get robe burns." He mused softly before moving behind the other man, slitting the robes he had just tied around those strong wrists completely freeing him. Though the one thing he had enjoyed... was the warm taste of the man... now that was something that he had missed for a DAMNED long time... "There."

"They don't like your attitude is what I was told." One shoulder shrugged ever so slightly, giving a little reason as to why the other man had been targetted. "I won't do anything with you... I decided I don't want to."

This man was down right hot and he didn't want to do anythign to him for a short while... He was enjoying watching that burning anger... Somehow it was like facing off against a predator that could tear you apart. "You are interesting."

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith was rather surprised to have his wrists freed but he firugre that it did not matter much. He only did a few steps away from the other man, it showed how little he cared about the situation. He let himself slump down on the groud, his legs half folded so that he could rest his forearms on his knees and he was leaning forward a little. He breathed in slowly, enjoying the warm air still, going to what he was doing before he was interrupted, only this time he was feeling a lot weaker, and if he was to fall, he would.

"...I don't care if 'they' don't like my attitude..."

His voice was oddly soft, though it was deep and low. He was just a warm man beneath that unreadable surface. At least that was what most people said, those who knew him personally.

His leather clothes were clinling to his skin and he let his head hang a little. He was sweating a lot, this poison was affecting him more than he had thought it would an dhe just did not want to end up passing out. "...I don't even know who 'they' are..." He sighd and shook his head, dark hair waving around a little. "...so what's your mission, exactly?"

[Ciel De El Aram]

Turning his head slightly, a slightly concerned look flickered over his features as he watched the other man for a few moments... "My mission was merely to make you Disappear... either wipe your memory or get you so far away that you could never come back... If its a kill... then I kill if its otherwise I keep you alive..."

"Hmmm..." His small hand pressed slightly on the man's forehead ever so gently. "Fever..." That was not particularly good... usually it didn't have such a strong effect... but well it looks like he didint get the dosage right for his race...

"Here." A bottle of water was pulled from his belt, sipping a little to show it wasn't poisoned before sitting it before the man.

[Nakai Beritu]

A hand that should have been strong shush the other man's hand. His movement was weak but he did not feel like ahving this man touchiing him after he had tried to kill him. Or well.. whatever he had tried to do. And he knew that he was not totally out of this situation yet, but thigns would get bad. There was no saying that he wanted to leave this town, nor that he wanted to have his memory wiped. All his belongings were in this city but though they were only material things, they were things he held dear.

And why was he even thinking that he -had- to do as that guy said?

Once he was feeling better, there were good chances that he would be able to fight him off and get back to the city. And moreover, it was not like Japan was very big and he could easily get back to Kyoto if he wanted to. Then why?

"...I've no intention of going anywhere." And so he picked the bottle and he drank it down quietly. He still was breaking in cold sweats, but it was not like he could go home and lie down.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"I won't follow after you if you decide to go. Just take peppermint tea. It will reverse the effects." Such a simple antidote, but it was why he liked that particular poison it wasn't one of his strongest ones... and it was interesting the variety of plants that were so useful.

"You're something I haven't seen in a long time." Maybe he should just make a call and get soemone to take this guy off his hands? Though he wanted to just observe him for a while... There was just osmething interesting about him and thus kept his attention on him.

"Cute." Though it was not exactly the right word to use, he mused softly to himself, he might end up having to take the man home himself... Oh he liked this alright ^^.

[Nakai Beritu]

In all honesty, in his state it was almost unthinkable to go back home. He lived quite a few kilometers away and it would be hard to get all the way there while having fever and being under the effect of a stupid weakening poison. Maybe he would just take a nap on the roof of the temple, but then another problem arose: there was an assassin sent after him standing only a few meters away from him. It was not the safest thing and he was starting to think he would be better off going back to his home.

Berith glared at the other man and he stood weakly, his legs shaking.

"...I'm nothing special." Well, that was his opinion, but it was not shared by many. Most people did find hims somewhat attractive and he was so mysterious. He enver really spoke of himself, so it left a lot for people to guess as they pleased because he never really bothered to counter rumours.

"..I'm going home."
