Kage laughed quietly at her hell comment, he didn't believe this foe would be that bad. He followed her, and kept quiet. Then she asked the question, he had hoped he wouldn't be asked. In truth, he knew not how he did it. When he came to exist this way, it had just happened. It occurred, and he had been able to do it ever sense. He wished he knew, honestly he wished he could remember more of his human existence. But, that was the problem, he only had bits and pieces to reflect on. Most of them were of his wife, and beautiful little girl. He hated human things, but those memories comforted him. Even though he felt like they weren't his, he visited them from time to time. Wishing he could have known the little girl, Aria.
"I know not how I fade.." he was going to leave it at that. But more words wanted to come, and he let go of his restraint. He had never told anyone of how he came to be, and he had lost his filter to his current emotions. "I didn't always used to be this way, I once was...." he paused, not wanting to admit what he was about to say. "Human, I was born into that world. And then I was reborn by someone or something. I know not which." he wished he did, not knowing if he would thank them. At first, when he had first been revived he wouldn't have. But now, all he cared about was knowing why they chose him. "I don't know what I am, but I know what I have become." with those words he looked right at this girl he had begone to adore. What would she think with his confession, would she think him bad?

Swirling around, without even missing a beat. "I see, in a way that explains quite a bit. Being dead gave you a natural anchor to the darkness, a place few tread and come back from. As for being a human, I can kind of see it, your eyes and teeth are the only things that make you stand out. I am a shadow horse demon, that's why i can warp the shadows to my will in such a way." Kagirinai hadn't stopped walking, and kept a steady pace despite going backwards, ducking under tree branches behind her. A small sad smile graced her lips only for a moment as she spoke again, her soft voice sincere. "Whatever brought you back, I am grateful... I'd still be alone otherwise. No matter your origin or what you are. You are you, and that is what I seem to be growing attached to." Not sure why but on a whim she did a small skip towards him, landing very close. "that must have been a sensitive subject, I apologize." He took away her numbness just with those eyes, his smiles had started making her heart skip beats. Perhaps this was the emotions her parents felt for each other, if so, she craved such a strong bond, she was just apprehensive of letting him see her, not physically vulnerable but emotional. Even now just the thought of her parents made her heart ache, she had lost them at such a young age, she never learned how to cope with any emotion really. Her face slowly faded back into that emotionless state, it seemed to happen mostly when she was trying to hold things in, even as she turned away from him slowly and back towards the trail, she could feel tears trying to well up in her eyes. "It... is hard for me to share things with others. I've been alone since I was very little, so opening up and trusting anyone is a real struggle for me." She said softly, it was her way of apologizing for not explaining things to him when he asked questions, she felt a bit guilty, but her pride and fear kept her from saying anything more. Without noticing, her single tear had rolled down her cheek and hit the ground in front of her. Ignoring it, as if it were nothing she began walking again, a bit slower. It had been so long since she cried that she had forgotten what it felt like. So many years she spent being numb to cope with her pain, but it never really went away. Surely he'd be disgusted of such emotions, he seemed to have an obvious dislike for most things human in nature, but were emotions really just for humans? Was she defective in feeling grief? Loneliness? and warming desire towards him? She was so confused, what should a proper demon feel?
Kagirinai had become slightly lost in her thoughts as she struggled with her emotions, years of suppression was making it increasingly difficult to get them under control, they demanded freedom. Kage had cracked her mask of control, her mask that she had worked so hard to keep from crumbling, but she didn't hate him for it, how could he know? that all these emotions were still like fresh wounds even after 18 years?

Kage had stopped, he not realizing it. Did she say what he thought she said? He didn't move as she had skipped towards him, and was a moment away from him. He noticed as she had a little sliver of emotion on her face, then it was gone. The single tear, he noticed it. She had started walking before he could blink and wipe it's trail from her face. He was amazed she had opened up, and to see the little bit of emotion was a great progression. And in such a short time, he realized if he was honest with her, then maybe she would return the gesture.
"Thank you..." that's all he would say. It was enough, he was thankful she cared. That she shared with him, he had been feeling more human then demon in that moment his filter had left him. What had this girl done to him, he had gone from being this greedy, blood thirsty demon to a soft, sweet talking romantic. He was getting older, maybe that was it. He was young in the term of a demon, but one that was once human. 370 odd years old was old, to once have lived off the land. He in a way was glad it had happened to him, just that little girl. She hunted him, but she was the ghost he most treasured. He could tell this girl in front of him was suffering, that his words had done something to her. Was she just like him, masked, protected. His was different, but in a way not so much. He wanted to protect her, but he had to know. If he was to become something with her, he had to know. But now wasn't the time, he wanted to know what he was falling for. She seemed to be a perfect storm, and he wanted to be right in the middle of it. She could be his solution, and he wanted her with all his black little heart. But he was rushing himself, they had just met. What had transpired was good enough for now, and he would be sure to appeal to her. Was she ready for him, and once she was his. She would forget what it was like to be alone, he only falls once. And she was it, his road block. And now he was addicted, and he dared to do it!

They had apprached a small clearing as the sun had set. Kagirnai had been earily quiet since thier last exchange of words. She looked out onto a hauntingly gourgous scene, the small field surrounding a large ancient tree, was filled with night lilies. Black flowers that only bloomed in the moonlight, they were so dark, but when in bloom, the ridges of the petals lit up in a gentle glow to reflect the moons. a small breeze came through the field of dark flowers, making them rustle ever so slightly, thier glowing white pollon coming up into the air, following the breeze. Deciding to take a moment to clear her mind, she veered off the path and into the field, careful not to step on any of the flowers. Squatting for just a second she picked a flower, it had a gentle sweet smell, so beautiful, and unusual, she loved it. Breaking the stem a bit more she then stuck it in her hair. It was obvious she needed a moment to get herself under control, especially if she planned on fighting, so she took her time, her silver eyes looking up at the moon, the stars, and large sphere reflecting in her eyes liek they were mirrors. The moonlight, unlike the sun gave her skin and hair a soft ghostly glow. "would you be shocked if I told you I'm only 24?" She asked curiously, not taking her eyes off the moon. "I'm so young for a demon, many just see me as a child, but I'm not.... I don't care what demon society says, I'm not a child." She wasn't sure where this came from, but she just flet like getting it out there. Turning her head slightly the beautiful glowing pollon picked up around her a bit some sticking in her hair and wings as her eyes seemed to have forgottten to hide the truth of her emotions, there was unbearable pain in her heart, and they looked so deeply lonely. PArt of her felt this was a fleeting dream and one day she would wake and he would be gone, her heart would be broken in a different way, and she would just have to go on carrying that pain with the rest, alone. That word echoed in her head, it stung, especially when she looked at him. Everything was running together so quickly, there was no garauntee that he wouldn't just vanish on her. Nowever no matter what she feared she couldn't look away this time, or maybe she didn't want to, those red eyes, even without saying anything, felt so reassuring, soothing. Slowly she reached out her left arm towards her and opened her hand, strangely craving his warmth, jsut a little to remind her that he was indeed real.

As the girl pick the flower, Kage stopped and remained still and quiet. Figuring she was collecting herself, he let her be. He himself took a moment, and closed his eyes to the world. When he opened them, he noticed she had put a flower in her hair. It only made her more beautiful, he smiled to himself. She was so cute, in all she did. Then he heard her words, and smiled even bigger. He had figured she was younger then her, but 355 years younger. Or at least it was close to that number, he hadn't really kept track of his age. He knew he was in his 370's, closer to 340 he was sure.
"I don't or didn't think you were a child. I will be honest and say I thought you a bit older." he did, but that was the funny thing about demons. They age so much differently than humans. "I remember being 24,that is after I became apart of this life. It was still so new to me, and exciting." he didn't miss the early years of his life."I dare not tell you how old I am, surely not..." It was then he noticed her reach out her arm, and her open hand. He went to her, and grabbed her hand. Not even missing a step, he pulled her to him. Gently, he looked down into her silver eyes. She wanted him, he had felt his heart miss a beat.

The enveloping warmth, it felt so good, reassuring her that Kage was indeed real. "Well maybe someday you'll tell me." Even if she found out he was much older than her, she wouldn't care. before Kagirinai could control her actions she wrapped her arms around him, in their short time together he had enchanted her, drawn her in, whether he realized it or not, she was trapped. She had never felt such a strong emotion before. "your smell reminds me of cinnamon." she whispered as she looked up at Kage, the way he looked at her made her heart race, this new emotion was so baffling, it was coupled with the feeling like she was going to crumble in his arms, so close, being enclosed in strong warm arms. It was such a foreign feeling, but she liked it. it was like he was holding her broken pieces together. She could feel her cheeks heat up a little as she began to blush, her heart wouldn't stop pounding, she could feel him breathing, her sensitive ears also picked up on his racing heart. Kagirinai continued to look in his eyes, she could just get lost in them if she stared long enough, it was like a spell. "your eyes are amazing..." she spoke again, finding words harder and harder to come by.

Kage without thinking leaned down, and kissed the beautiful girl. She had changed, no longer did she appear emotionless. His heart was racing, and as their lips touched. It skipped a beat. He tightened his grip a little. Feeling like time stood still. His right hand found its way. Cupping the back of her head. Deepening their kiss. He had closed his eyes. Taking everything in. She smelled so good, and he wondered why he reminded him of cinnamon? It must not be a bad thing, she seemed to take his scent in willingly, and if she liked it. Then that was good enough to him, he felt his hair blowing in the slight breeze around them. He would have to put it back, it was going to bug him. But at the moment he could deal. He wouldn't interrupt this it for anything, he was so intoxicated with her. She had willingly wanted him, and he hoped she would continue coming to him after this moment of sure bliss!

For now the young demon would give into her emotions as she closed her eyes, so desperately she wanted to be held, and now she was, though they had just met only briefly they had grown close, drawn to each other. As she left herself go Kagirinai could feel tears starting to stream down her cheeks, they were a mixture of joy and sorrow as her emotions battled with each other. Unlike before she wouldn't rip away from his kiss this time, even as he seemed to intensify it. one hand slowly reached up his back and touched his air, her fingers gently running through his black hair. It was surprisingly soft, this silent moment, just made all her worries and concerns float away into the breeze with the pollen, for now she could be at peace, before worrying of facing the torment deep in her mind when facing this demon they were heading after. As their kiss broke, she opened her eyes, realizing she had started crying again, her cheeks turned a deep shade of pink as she grew embarrassed. How silly she must look, resting one side of her head against his chest she listened to his heartbeat, it was going crazy like hers, despite his steady breathing. "Someday you will come to know every side of me, everything that makes me, me. I wish to learn this of you as well, and accept it openly, I am not afraid of the dark, or what lurks within, just remember that." she said softly, inhaling slowly, taking in his scent with everything else around them, it was all so intoxicating.

Kage had opened his eyes as their kiss broke, and had felt the tears. His eyes were soft, and he held her tight as she spoke those words almost as if to his heart. He rested his head on hers, and started to hum a little. It was something from one of his memories, something the little girl used to sing. He knew not what the name was, but it gave him comfort. Maybe it would bring some to the girl he held so closely? "I do not fear either, and I wish to know you. All of you..." he licked his lips, trying to let their kiss fuel his words. "I don't know why, or how. You speak to all of me, I lose all control when I am with you! I wish to be with you Kagirinai..." He intertwined his fingers in her moonlight hair, continuing with the moment. "Just as you long to be held, I long to be the one to hold you! When I look into your eyes, their is nothing I want more. Your lips, I could kiss them all day if you would let me!" he flinching slightly, pouring out pieces of his human heart. It felt so good, but his demon side was fighting it. But in the end it wouldn't win. He was being real, and he wanted her to know what she had stirred in him.

Hs words struck her heart with such an intensity, it made her twitch a little. his humming soothed her a bit as she relaxed a bit. "I am glad..." she murmured, her voice was soft and sounded fragile, she was having trouble processing all this intense emotions, she was so use ignoring many of them and now this new one was thrown into the mix. "your touch is strangely comforting, I am not use to being touched, so usually hate it. It isn't you just how I've been for a long time, I don't know how to be anything else, other than a skittish horse." She said a bit louder. "You make it hard to control my emotions around you, you're like an enigma to me, I can't figure out why you affect me so, and why I feel so strange around you..." It was so odd being so open, with him. "I.... probably seem more human than demon with all of these emotions, human's shouldn't be the only ones allowed to feel this way.. am I wrong? We bleed, we feel sorrow and remorse, we feel joy, happiness, the only difference is our lifespan and powers." She opened a little more, her own filter falling away, she felt silly asking such a question, but he had some view of both sides, where she was only born to one side. "feelings shouldn't be a crutch, or a weakness, but they are often viewed that way and taken advantage of." Slowly she pulled back to look up at him seriously, her eyes swirled with a mixture of conflicting, pent up emotions, resemble more like the twinkling stars in the sky than the ever still moon.

When she looked up at him, his eyes reflected hers. She was right, humans weren't and shouldn't be the only creatures allowed to feel emotions. "I agree beautiful..." and with that he kissed her forehead, ever so gently. Returning to look at her glowing eyes, he started to play with her hair. Just letting her get used to his touch, and letting her know he adored her.
"I am about 380 years old this winter, does that shock you? he laughed quietly, being his normal self. He loved her, as much as he knew what love was. He would have a hard time using that word, this to him was what he would believe love was. Then he thought, maybe I was reborn to be her comfort. He had purpose now he felt, and he would fulfill it!

"a little but only because you seem not much older than me. Either way it doesn't truly matter, because it hasn't changed how I feel at all. AS unfamiliar and foreign of an emotion it is to me." She felt his fingers playing with her hair, and it felt strangely delightful, to be adored so was something she would quickly grow to enjoy. For now she forgot about their way towards the backside of the mountain, she wouldn't be any mental condition to face him right now anyways, she wasn't repaired mentally to face it. Her hand gently reached up towards his cheek in return, ever so gently touching it, her thumb gently rubbed across his cheek. "You must... have been lonely for so long." she said softly, understanding his pain in a way, loneliness in and of it's self was torment and torture and could lead many to do things to fill the void, to her there were no monsters, just a battle for life and death, while some never sought justice for what they felt was unneeded, for her kin and loved ones she would travel to the ends of the earth to avenge their death before she felt like she could truly rest. Now she had someone to rely on, someone for support, while she would often fight unless unable, she would not reject his help at any point, the mixture of humanity and darkness within him felt like her salvation from mental self destruction, he could balance the wildness of her emotions, and the darkness that ebbed into her from her demon heart, perhaps he could help her control it all. There was so much she wanted to tell him, but the most important bits her demon heart heald back, it did not trust this thing that was once human as much as she personally did.

Kage at hearing the word lonely made a face of utter sadness, he had been. He didn't realize how much so, until that moment. His red eyes seem to open, in the way of she had just opened a door he had forever closed. With one little sentance she had broke open his gated heart, only up to the had he had some seeping emotions. He blinked at the jolt in his heart, and closing his eyes. He opened them and a single tear escaped. His eyes looked so sad in that instant. He didn't have to answer, and in that moment he couldn't. His face said it all, the hurt he had never thought about. Even for a demon, he had the heart of a mortal man.
He hugged her closer as he lifted his head to the sky. He had to collect himself, and in a way was hiding. He couldn't help it, this moment was scaring him. He hoped she wouldn't think his wrong, she had to feel the air enter his lungs. He was going to cry from the emotion radiating in his chest, it was like she spoke the magic words that unlocked him. He had never cried, not like this bursting emotion. He tried to fight it, but it came. Tears fell from his face, and he just held on to her.
Through his tears, he brought his face back down to this beloved girl. "I have no understanding what you do to me, but I have never been so high. I feel like you are bringing me to life." he took a breath. "I was just fading in and out, seeking paradise. Then I meet you, and you set my heart on fire. I can't see clear anymore, I feel like your the cure. The only thing I want to touch, I never knew anything could matter to me so much." He didn't think he was making sense, but he hoped she understood through his confused emotions.

She held onto him, her arms wrapping around him, holding him close to her own aching heart. "When I first saw you... It reminded me of how utterly alone I was, and if it werent for you I would have been devoured alive. After.... I kill all of them We can search for this paradise together, for i have no home or vilage to return to." lovingly she stroked the back of his head, he had been just as lonely as she was, probably more so given the years, she wanted to wipe all that away, to help him forget, but wasn't sure how. So Kagirinai just held him as she fell into a deep silence, jsut letting him hold onto her, She owuld embrace him, hold him close, her heart quivered as she felt her tears threatening to spill out again. "sorry..... everything's just... so bottled up." she murmured, the full weight of everything she had lost hit her like a freight train causing her legs to crumple, and she fell into the grass, her parents were gone, along with her baby sister, it hurt so much to think her only place she ever truly knew was an abandonded, overgrown hut with unmarked graves that she made herself. They were all gone, and she was powerless to stop it from happening. She could feel herself collapse into the grass, hitting the ground rather roughly, but she didn't stop crying as she looked down at the ground, her grip, had slid down to his pant legs before she shakily let go. Why did any of this have to happen? why did they have to be killed? It wasn't fair, none of tihs was. "I... Hate them so much.... the ones who took everything from me.... I hate them... I want to make them suffer.." she said as she could feel an ache foarming in her throat, her body wasn't use to all of this emotion. It was obvious that she was wracked between hated and bitter sorrow.
(i'll add sooo much more detail of her past into the coming battle :3 )

Kage got to his knees after she had slipped away from him. He listened to her every word, his tears had stopped. He would help her, he would make her goals see success. "Then, let us collect ourselves." he had gotten serious rather fast. He kissed the top of her head, trying to let her know he cared. "Darling, let me help you..." it was hurting him to know she was emotionally distrait. "It wasn't fair, and I want to give you peace." He felt insensitive at the moment, but he started to wipe her tears away. Lifting her chin with his open palm, he started kissing her cheeks. Trying to help her focus on him, he didn't want her to fall into deep sorrow. He looked deep into her tear filled eyes, and softened his eyes as he kissed her nose. He was trying to be cute, he hoped it was working.
