Mysterious alley, mysterious meeting, Kuro18

[Kuro18]

A brow arched at how she claimed they would die if he landed directly in front of the bar, needless to say this wasnt really helping her seem all too sane. Regardless Hito did as he was told, soon event of the man being thrown out and hit by the truck unfolded before their eyes. ....Ok maybe it been a good idea that he had listened to the odd little snipper after all.

"Y-You! You touched me!!!"

"Yeah...so"

It was only after hearing this that he realized that he was still holding her and rather quickly put Alter down. His body slouched against the wall of the enterance; the after effects of using the Naikikou slowly setting in. By now a few people had gathered around to where the accident took place while Alter and Hito didnt really seem like either of them cared too much.

Aside from that he didnt really get what the big idea was with touching her, it wasnt like he had grabbed her ass or fondled her bust or something like that. Hito didnt think on it much just relaxing against the wall just feeling alittle tired after all that.

((yea should probably make it soon or could just stay here))

Alter turned away from him and sighed, wrapping her arms around herself loosely, it really was colder than she remembered it, "Well, whatever, what's done is done, and I guess I should thank you for taking the job of getting out of the alley out of my hands." She looked back at him and her look softened, "It's one of my powers. If something bad is going to happen to me or someone close to where I would be that moment, I see a vision of it about four seconds before it happens." Before she could explain anymore, a voice rang out.

"Nayama? You have a boyfriend?!" It looked as if the bartender had seen them jump and land in front of the bar. He was buff, a little on the bigger side, and his hair was fluffy and greying from black, "It's been a while since I've seen you, I guess you had another job."

Alter looked at him and smiled, "Hey there, Kiro. Yeah, another job. I had to snipe a big underground executive who was dealing with things that even underground places shouldn't deal with." She pointed at the sniper with her thumb, "Can I put this in the back?"

Kiro nodded, then looked at Hitokiri, "Sure, but first, who's your boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend, his name is Hitokiri, a kid I met in the alley a moment ago." She looked back at Hito, "Hitokiri, meet Kiro."

[Kuro18]

Being able to see into the future must have been pretty use full, even if it only was four seconds into the past. It would be enough to see an opponent's next move or prepare yourself for any oncoming danger like what Alter did with the truck and all. A shout coming from within the bar caused him to kick off the outside wall and look inward as one of Alter's regulars started speaking to them. And no sooner had this happen did he raise a brow looking back at the snipper gir, maybe the other name was a nickname for her or something.

"Nayama?"

He could have sworn she said her name was Alter, but the little boyfriend comment clearly threw him away from either her name was Alter or Nayama. And soon the first sign of Hito actually being human appeared as a slight blush crossed his face, though he was a man of twenty seven things like that still made him turn red. More or less he just tried not to think about this and simply bowed as he was introduced though try as he might he couldnt get the comment out of his head.

[Mariko12]

Alter smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, Nayama is my real name, Alter is my mercinary code name." She shurgged and began walking around the building, away from the entrance, "Anyway, let's go this way so I can put my gun away." She said, beckoning them to come with her.

Kiro shook his head, "Nah, we're a bit busy today, so I'll just open the door from the inside. You go ahead 'round back, I'll be there to open it in a sec." With that, he quickly dodged the brewing fight near the door and went into the back room to open it up for Alter and Hito.

Alter smirked at Hito's face, "Oh jeez, you're blushing? Well, at least it means you do have emotions." She said, not looking back at him, "Oh, about my name... Nayama is the one I use during the day, remember that in case we run into eachother again after tonight. I got the name Alter because of how I act during my jobs, which is the total opposite of how I act during the day." She explained. As they reached the back door, she found it was open. She stepped in and held it open for Hito, "Well, hurry up."

[Kuro18]

Mentally he repeated her real name as if to memorize it along with her code name, though honestly he wasnt all too sure which he should call her. Hito was given much time to think this as Alter was already making her way behind the bar towards the back entrance. Obeiently he followed her though apart of him still was questioning exactly he was and the only tru answer was that he was some what interested in this woman.

"Well, hurry up."

"Kids today always trying to speed things up instead of enjoying the moment"

This was said almost as low as a whisper but was still loud enough to reach her ears, hey it was just simple pay back just for her calling him boy and kid and stuff. With his hand slowly reasuming its spot on the hilt of the muramasa he followed Alter inside. Maybe he didnt really need to have his hand linger there during their time in the alley but there was no clue as to what drunks could do so it was probably best for it to rest there

[Mariko12]

"Kids today always trying to speed things up instead of enjoying the moment"

Alter grimaced and closed the door, "Don't call me a kid, boy. I am 24 years old." She told him coldly as she set her sniper in a small barrel that looked like it would hold aging wines. She looked at his muramasa and pointed to a long box, "You better place your sword there or else the drunks will get the wrong idea and they'll try to attack you."

She opened the door to the next room, which was actually behind the counter. She flipped up a small wooden piece in the counter and held it open for Hito. She then sat down on one of the stools in front of the bar, "The regular, and make it a bigger glass this time, you know how much I drink." She already sounded like a drunk, since the bar smelled enough like alcohol anyway.

Kiro nodded and reached under the counter, pulling out towo glasses, "Hey, Hitokiri, you want anything? I carry a variety of drinks and even foods." He began pouring the drink that strongly smelled of alcohol into the glass, then pushed it towards Alter, "Becareful how drunk you get today."

[Kuro18]

24 huh?..... well at least he knew how old she was now, a side of him was celebrating that she wasnt too far from his own age though Hito wasnt all too sure why he was glad about it. Basicly he ignored what she said about leaving his sword back there,let the drunks think what they want. As he followed Alter/Nayama his eyes werent scooping out the bar like he usually would in a new place but really they were scooping out the women looking alittle low.

The bartender and a few of drunks might have noticed where Hito's gaze was but it would be short lived as they exited the backroom. A glare glanced around at the drunks before he took aseat beside Alter; laying his jacket and katana on the stool next to him. Without the jacket you would notice two tattoos on his shoulders; both representing the gods/protectors of the east and west; Byakko and Genbu. For some reason ever since he was a child Hitokiri had been more or less obessed about the saint beasts of legend.

"Hey, Hitokiri, you want anything? I carry a variety of drinks and even foods."

"....Water...."

Ok that was a pretty strange request to make at a bar but Hito had never really been into drinks that alter how he acted or thought. No doubt this would cause some negative reaction from the drunks but why should he care what the corrupted fools thought.

[Mariko12]

Kiro nodded and filled the glass full of water, "Here you go, oh, everything is on the house for you two." He said smiling, "So order what you'd like. In fact, I even have somemore muffins that Nayama baked us." He pulled a cloth from over a large basket and took a small sniff, even cold they smelled good. He took one out and placed it in front of Hitokiri, "Try it."

By the time Hito had gotten his water, Nayama had finished her second glass and was going for a hird. She didn't look drunk yet, but that would change sometime after her fifth glass, which wasn't too far away. She leaned against the counter, her bust proped up slightly.

From the other tables around the room, muttering could be heard at the sight of Hitokiri's sword, and some even shifted in thier seats. Two men actually got up from thier seats with thei drinks. One sat next to Nayama and the other sat next to Kitokiri's swords. They were both quite large, but not too big too take on if anything happened, "You know, swords aren't thought of as peace-keeper material."

[Kuro18]

...you've got to be kidding me

You had to admit it was pretty odd having a bartender handing you muffins, his blue gaze stayed on Kiro for a moment then looked at the somewhat drunk Alter and back. Hitokiri stayed quite just sipping on his water in silent dignity, really he wasnt all too sure about the baked goods but took a bite out of it anyways. Honestly it was hard to belive that some sniper had an alright skil for cooking, speaking of the sniper girl out of what little respect he already had for her he tired not to check her out anymore.

Soon it didnt seem like Hito would have a chance to as they were soon joined in company by two other drunks. A small snort was heard as they sat dont, it wasnt actually all too pleasing to have some old man looking and smelling flithy siting beside you. Regardless of this Hito continued sipping on his water though on his gaurd with the men around them.


"You know, swords aren't thought of as peace-keeper material."

"I would have never guessed that"

In a sense it almost sounded like a challenge but for nwo he ignored it, a lazy gaze silhoutted by his pale bangs wavered between the two men as if expecting them to do something.

[Mariko12]

By now, Alter was legally drunk. Her head was resting on the counter while her hand was loosely wrapped around the large sized shot glass. She groaned as one of the drunks talked to Hitokiri. It was quite rude, "I told you, Hito-kun..." She murmured.

The drunk looked at Hito's sword and smirked, "Not much of a weapon in this day and age, wouldn't you say?" He reached over and carefully grabbed some of Hito's long hair, "And your hair, hahaha!!! I could've mistaken you for a girl!"

The other drunk looked down at Alter and grinned, "Hey, Hokoji, look at the broad! She's more of a hardcore drinker than you!" He said as Kiro filled up the glass again, "Too bad, missy, it just means you'll be easier to play with." He tapped her head and smirked, grabbing her hair roughly, "She could be mistaken for a long haired boy, huh?" He slowly lifted Alter's head up.

She grimaced and opened her tired eyes, "Let go of the hair..." She reached behind herself, ready to grab her gun, "I'm pissed."
