Back and Forth Through My Mind Behind a Cigarette, After the storm of arrests(Open)

[Nareta]

The light of the cigarette was the lone illumination within the small park. During the day, children of Tokyo invaded and ran amuck here. But at night, it was the right palce for secret meetings. The street lamps were never on, and the lights from the buildings and streets around it failed to make that up. This night, the man had finally, along with his sources and uncle, who was just as much as a source-user, caught the Osaka Yakuza boss, Senichi Shigenoi, wanted for murder, DWI, and being a member of the Asian drug and slave trades in Japan. Of course, these were still to be proven in a court of law, but hey, the trial wasn't until, well, at least December, most a year off. God forbid it should be next eyar. And the government would do their best to keep him and his associates. Finally, the lead he and his uncle needed to find that damnable Yakuza boss, that Shiroi Kumo.

The light of the cigarette was also a way of saying "I'm here" for the detective. The skinny man took a drag, before blowing the smoke into the air, towards the moon. The sky spoke of rain, it did. His informant had best get there soon. He had aquestioning to get back to, dammit! Eyes glanced around, looking for signs of the informant. Anxious, Ryu Aoki began to hum to himself, not knowing the song. It may of well been his own tune, it was a butchering of X Japan's "Forever Love." But hey, he was just a cop, no musical man.

[Ryuuketsu]

This detective, he had been responsible for capture for the Osaka Yakuza boss, and although Hikaru could care less, he was currently required to attempt to take this man down, by order and payment of a Yakuza member under Senichi Shigenoi. After all, Hikaru Hyourin, the Kage no Mangetsu, almost never failed his clients, and although he wasn't over confident, this skinny and seemingly weak detective didn't seem to tough.

With ease, he located and identified the detective. Nothing really unusual about him, and plus Hikaru really didn't care. Muttering the word, "Shingetsu," in a quiet whisper, he darkened the vicinity in a half kilometer radius with a mysterious fog, one of his unique powers honed by the Hyourin bloodline. Hikaru smiled at his feat.

Eventually, unneeded people seemed to go away and it was time to strike. Again muttering words, this time a different one, he stated, "Engetsu," in a louder whisper. As soon as he spoke, or afterwards, a crescent shaped form flew at the cop, its moonlight color shining as it pierced through the fog, but quickly the fog reformed, redarkening the area. Tatically, he fled from his alleyway position into another alleyway, very close by the cop. He did so quietly, Hikaru didn't need anymore trouble than this job already had.

[Nareta]

Wow, such a great fog. Ryu had a nact for seeing something wrong, and this was wrong. The temperature change was too drastic to be normal, not to mention semi-whispers were enough to make a man jumpy. Gun in hand, the cigarette disappeared, the cop ready to strike. Then, it came: Silver, shining, fast. Two shots, which did nothing. The man leapt from the tree he was near, which was cut badly by the spinning attack. "Oh great, magic bullshit." The man faded into darkness, his gun killing the lamp lights while his eyes watched the silver orb. That was its one fault as an attack in the dark, it was the color of the moon. And thus, if he saw it, he had a chance. And if he were invisible, humans couldn't find him for another attack.

"Shigenoi's man, I assume? I was doing my job, but you're apparently doing yours. We're both fucked. Oh well, we'll have fun with this, ie?" He smirked, throwing his hair around as he lit a cigarette and sat it on a bicycle rack, he moving from it. The attack came, and cut the smoke in two; Ryu made a dying noise, hopefully enough to bring out the man. Guns and any reflecting objects away while the flame still burned, Ryu awaited his chance to emerge from the darkness

[Asmodeus]

A flash of blue light and Lady Black appeared in the park, surrounded by fog, an unnatural fog, which Lady Black immediately recognised due to her own intense mystical background. She always loved the fog, it was always there to cover and obfuscate the truth. Casting a simple spell, Lady Black was able to see through the fog with ease. She saw the cop, and she saw the man attacking him, and this caused her to smile, because she recognised the cop, he was working on taking down the Yakuza, which made them allies at the moment, even if he didn't realize it.

Weaving a far more complex spell, Lady Black threw some diamond dust into the air, muttered some powerful arcane words, and some simple gestures, Lady Black mystically conjured a demonic spirits, which were feeding off the magic of the fog, and which proceded to dance around in the fog, filling the the fog with a sense of dread and malevolance that neither the detective nor his attacker would be able to ignore for long. Lady Black herself would be unaffected by the spirits, for she was the one controlling them. In doing this she hoped to help protect the detective without revealing herself yet.

[Ryuuketsu]

Seeing his attacks didn't do much harm and sensing a malovelent presence within the fog, this pissed him off brutally. The fog only seemed to harm the detective, yet it seemed it didn't do much, fucking humans. Although he was partially human, Hikaru had a distaste for human weaklings. Frowning upon that, and pissed at what happened to his Shingetsu, he realeased the fog from the vicinity, turning it into nothingness, and sent a flashing crescent wave after muttering a single word to himself. The crescent was the same as before and it sliced the very air, although Hikaru reaveled himself and was now in the open, he didn't care about that much.

"Damn," Was all he could say.

[Zetsumei]

A young woman sat and watched the three from well above the fog, she could see everything that was happening even through the thick misted area. As the fog that lifted she noticed the diamond dust and the strange congerings. Chloe too was an assassin, she had been hired by a man who called himself Shiroi but that mattered not to her. The three people here were all on the hit list, but the most important was the other assassin due to the threat that he posed to her.

She didn't fear the spirits, they couldn't do so much as youch her anyway. What she didn't like was the cop with the gun. That was when it hit her that the man was attacking with magic, so he too was not that big of a worry. First she would hit assassin, after him the cop then the woman. Standing up she launched three daggers at the magic user, her assault would begin at the top of this thirty story building. As the blades left her hand she jumpped, falling at a speed faster then a normal person and landing behind a dumpster. Jumping to another building she ran along it and drew her two daggers.

[Nareta]

Eye twitching, the cop watched from darkness what was going on, with the... flashy lights and shiny swords, and such. Yes. "This is, eh, different. One guy from Yakuza, and two.... Things attacking him. Well, fuck a duck. I don't quite like any of this, and I sure as fuck don't need help.... A shame it's against the law to do what they're doing." he didn't much like the fact he had to do this, but it was his job. Loading his gun, the man looked to the two... flashy things. Now, the flashy one with the freaky spirit things, or the other one with the knives. Things he'd never seen before, or stabby-stab knives. Decisions, decisions!

The only way he knew the woman with the knives was the fact the moon had come back out, and obviously, knives reflect light. But it was quickly fading, this was the one chance he had... The other, well, shiny lights coming from out of no where was good and all, more power to you, but that would be not-so-hard a target. Decision made, the man left the alleyway, gun aimmed at the woman on the building, the man smirking. Two shots, before he ran, past the woman with the spirit things, and behind a tree. Rather random of him, but hey, he was a random cop. Ryu smirked. He was going to enjoy himself here, this was, well, fucked up, to be blunt

[Asmodeus]

Lady Black saw the cop dart by her and then saw the daggers flying at her and she attempted to dodge the daggers. She successfully dodged two, but the third cut her arm. Grabbing her arm in mild pain, she saw the blood on her hand, and she smiled. Flinging some of the blood to the ground and envocing dark words of eldritch power she conjured a small ball of green flame that would seek out its target.

The green flame was balefire, a product of dark magic and capible of burning both body and soul of the victim. Intoning the words of power, Lady Black told the ball of balefire to seek out and burn the one who drew her blood. As the ball of balefire flew off toward the knife weilding assassin, Lady Black darted toward tree, in order to get some cover.

[Zetsumei]

The young woman notice her blades had hit the wrong target, o well she was going to have to be killed some time. The green flame ment nothing to her, hitting her full force she didn't so much as feel a tingle, Chloe was completly immune to nearly all types of magic. A second thing she noted was the moon out tonight, her blades reflected slightly to much light so she altered them once more to their pure white form. It made her harder to see as she moved through the shading.

The young woman watched the muzzle flash closely, two shots at a three degree angel. He was a good marksmen and had she not been alert to the fact he had the gun she would probably have been shot. The bullets however passed through her cloak as she lept into the air toward Lady Black. "Buzz off cop, I have no ill will of you tonight." She said as she launched another barrage of small throwing knives at the woman before coming down to attack with her daggers.

[Ryuuketsu]

Slightly smiling at the easily light reflected daggers, Hikaru Hyourin dodged them with ease. After all, an assasin needed skills and they always needed to be at their best. Although, the moonlight was pretty lucky, but it always seemed to come out to aid Hikaru for some obscure and vague reason. Even he didn't know why, but it was probably his bloodline's heritage and alliance with the celestial bodies. Anyways, Hikaru shook that off for the moment. But actually, a blade seemed to graze his shoulder, leaving only a white scratch where it had scraped his skin. Albeit, it didn't hurt at all.

With more people entering the scene, this assasination attempt had become harder. Hikaru felt like quitting, whereas he wasn't a fool that would risk everything in one mission. But he'll save that for later decisions and such more diffucult ordeals. This world, this city, Tokyo, was suck an enigmatic place.

"What now...?" He whispered quietly.

[Zetsumei]

Chloe saw the other man leave and relized it was now two on one, the odds where bad for her. She broke off her attack, there would be another time for this battle and now was not it. She lept to the street and vanished into the sewers

[RojiroDemon]

(ooc: May I join?)

Marth had wandered into the park after closing his store just five blocks away. The demon pulled his long black hair into a pony tail as he fastened his hair with a hairband and continued to walk. He could hear voices in the fog that seemed to get thicker as he made his way into the dark park. He crept around the far side as he walked casually looking in the way of the noise. Only faint shadows could be seen throwing punches and such. 'A fight, how wonderful to see', he thought as he hopped into a tree nearby, unaware that yet another person a young woman thrown in the mix.

Marth continued to watch this brawl take place. The demon had an urge to jump in, but didn't want to unless he was being called out. The young woman seemed to be doing good, she seemed attractive to him and then his eyes were only on her. Marth then used his fire powers to burn off the fog, which was working as the fog lifted and then dissappated. Now he could get a great view of the fight.
