Nino smirked as he continued to slash at the beast with several key swipes of his sword. In that moment, the gargoyle creature seemed to be twitching, and its life force was at the brink of its body. However, Nino’s sharp blue eyes continued to only stare back at the beast waiting for it to attack or to run away. Finally, Nino’s sword shifted back to a gun, and he held it straight at eye level with the beast who seemed to reflect the look back that it was about to indeed disappear into nothingness. This is over Nino thought to himself as his eyes narrowed sharply.
Suddenly, another figure, somewhat the same in appearance to Nino’s opponent, came crashing straight into his. The two demons seemed to smash straight into the wall and deformed in appearance. The girl, Emiko, as if relishing her abilities slashed through the attacker and then started off. However, she stopped in that moment and looked back at Nino who only reflected a dark look back. She had indeed killed his fun… these creatures were just weak toys…. Shaking his head for a moment, Nino let out a half sigh.
"They won't be gone for long," Emiko stated aloud in somewhat of a determined voice that a leader often gives to an army he can barely lead. Suddenly, she turned off her spirit energy, and the blade she had been wielding disappeared completely. Nino felt his eyes narrow. Was she truly so bold as to turn off her weapon when there were more beasts still lurking in the area. However, as he noticed that Emiko was now all but leering at him, Nino decided to stay silent on the matter. No need to bring any more prideful emotion into the bag. Nino thought to himself and instead just reflected yet another dark look at Emiko.
“Indeed,” Nino answered back.
“Well this is certainly interesting,” a voice said causing Nino’s eyes to shift sharply down the hallway where a white haired companion stood with his hands in his pockets. Both men reflected the look that one gives a partner, but after a moment, the white haired Matsujun smiled. “I finally found ya, Nino,” Matsu half laughed to himself. “Do you realize that I had to go to like twenty roaming apparitions to find you?”
A sudden sound of movement caused Nino’s dark eyes to glance back at Emiko who seemed stunned but had suddenly backed up as if ready to attack this possible form. Nino remained silent and then tuned his head back to Matsu who had placed his hands on the back of his head and was walking forwards with a grin on his face.
“I swear you run off too much,” Matsu continued as he walked closer. “Oh and who do we have here? Playing the ladies’ man again, Nino? They do all flock to you don’t they?”
“What did you say?!” Emiko demanded suddenly seeming extremely agitated in the moment. However, the white haired, yellow eyed man just gave a gentle laugh back.
“Oh relax dear,” Matsu answered back to her. “Nino here just happens to catch all of the girls with his ways you see hahahah.”
“Matsujun,” Nino said sharply which caught the bearer of the name’s voice off.
“Oh you know I’m joking,” Matsu answered back as he continued to eye Emiko with his stark yellow eyes that shifted every split second. “I know you’re a pedophile anyways.”
Nino resisted the urge to fall over right then and there. However, this was Matsujun’s nature in its truest form, and there was nothing that Nino could do to stop his partner’s conversation except leer straight at him. Yet the leer did nothing to Matsu’s eyes who just reflected a light look back. The glare had never worked on Matsu, and in that moment, Nino realized that he was hoping for the impossible. Sighing, Nino put a hand to his forehead.
“So what is up then?” Matsujun asked suddenly becoming serious causing his voice to drop a few degrees. “I sensed a dark amount of spiritual power coming from here a few minutes ago. Is there possibly a….”
“No,” Nino said sharply causing Matsu’s face to take on a moment of surprise before he lightened up once again.
“Ah, I see I see,” Matsujun answered back. “Alright then. Well hello, Miss….” By that time, Matsu had turned to Emiko who still registered a look of confusion on her face. “My name is Matsujun, but you may call me Matsu,” Matsu laughed lightly seeing that there was no real response coming from Emiko on this statement.
Taking a step back, Emiko seemed to raise her eyebrow for a moment but then registered her own name. “Emiko,” she said after a moment of hesitation.
“Oh hello hello hello Miss Emiko,” Matsu answered back. “Hah that rhymes. Every time I see you now I will say hello Miss Emiko.”
With a sudden movement, Nino punched Matsujun straight face. Matsu’s face seemed to fall completely as both of his yellow eyes had moved to the dark haired man’s face. Suddenly, a light laugh escaped Matsujun, and with that, Nino pulled back his fist and stood full again. Both men gave each other yet another look until the sound of Emiko backing up hit Nino’s ears. His eyes moved to her sharply, but she quickly reflected her own caustic look back at him. For a full moment, Matsu looked from Nino to Emiko and the back to Nino. Letting a light laugh go once more, Matsu put his hand up.
“I think Miss Emiko would like to say something, no?” Matsu smiled lightly as he eyed Emiko.
