Aislin tilts her head as Malek keeps himself from eating until Hana insists that he does so, but uses the money she was going to give him to pay instead of her own share. She blanches. Onsei and Hana are much too alike. It's kind of terrifying, actually. Still, she blinks. The girl an elementalist? Asilin had only guessed her to be a fire user, as that's all she's seen her use, and she seems to keep her aura under wraps. And if Malek considers her a baby, just how old is she? How old is Malek? What really confuses her, is what the hell an otome game is. "Otome game?" She goes so far as to question with a tilt of her head. The look added on to her perked ears makes her look like a curious puppy.
Onsei's amused huff grabs her attention, "Being from a game myself, I know what that is," he tells his companion. "It's a game based around a reverse harem, a girl with multiple guys having fallen in love with her- despite her being weaker than even you or Hana here. Girl meets guys, girl falls for one, all fall for her, she chooses one, happily ever after".
"That's different from your game?"
"Yes," Onsei chuckles out, "Where I come from, demon-human relationships are forbidden," but he doesn't go on to say just what kind of game he's from other than that.
Sora in the mean time tests the girl's name on his tongue, "Aelita....That's a real pretty name!" He praises lightly. However, as she goes on to comment his large stomach, he blushes. "Y-Yea, it's kind of a full time job keeping me fed....Sorry, I should have warned you". He laughs at this for a moment or two before Onsei speaks up and words are exchanged. "Not really," he answers his new friend. Upon Hana's introduction, his eyes sweep to her, Malek, and then back to Onsei. "Seriously, why are you with them?"
Onsei sighs, leaning further back into his chair, knocking it onto its two hind feet, "Little miss Aislin saw you in one of her visions," his words are blunt, a frown replacing that smile of his that's normally there. "You always return here for a new target; we knew you'd be back eventually. It's luck that we met up now instead of me having to come and find you". Which would have been rather annoying.
Sora's eyes are wide and blinking, surprised, "Aislin...You saw me?"
The white haird fox girl nods her head, "....Yea actually....And myself, and Onsei...And your...Um....Your friend there. Sorry, I don't know your name, miss. I'm Aislin, this here is Onsei. But anyways, I saw us four, as well as Hana and Malek". She looks to the mentioned duo, "Sorry for not mentioning that earlier....I didn't know how to tell you".
Sora blinks, "But...Your visions always say that someone needs your help. Why would I-?"
"She doesn't know," Onsei bluntly interrupt, a dango being popped into his mouth and swiftly consumed. "Little miss 'all powerful," of course that title is stated in a teasing fashion, "Still doesn't have control over what she sees. Whether you like it or not, sword boy, you're gonna be stuck with us for a while". His eyes then go to Hana and Malek, "You too, princess, lover boy".

And if she ever asked aloud, she will get such answers from Hana or at least Malek. Too bad she didn't. As Onsei explains otome games to Ainslin, Hana sneers at Malek. "So did you love her?"
"Love who?" Malek raises a brow as he looks at Hana. He knows what she means, he's just being difficult.
"The girlie who's harem you belonged to."
"Not really. She whined too much. She reminded me of you, really." Malek flinches as he expects to be burned. However, the heat never comes. He looks to Hana wearily. She dons a pretty, almost innocent smile. The tattoo on Malek's arm glows once more, but instead of red to indicate Fire, it glows an ice blue. Nothing happens at first, but then suddenly, his arm twitches, not of his own will though. "Wh-what the hell, Hana?!?" Before long, he strips down to undies and twists himself into a demon pretzel. All this is done from the water within his body.
"One would think you'd learn to be more respectful when I can twist you up and burn you until you're simply a toasted pretzel." She looks to Onsei in the meantime as he explains his real motives for being in this dango shop with her, Malek, and these humans. She raised a brow at him. "Princess? Hardly. I don't need help either. Don't get me wrong. You're an interesting one to tag along with, but we don't need a thing."
"The only thing I'll need is to be free from her." Malek jabs his head at Hana. "And that will happen as soon as these things we gathered in the forest are sold off."
Aelita fails to hold back a blush as she gaped at her name being openly called pretty. "Uh, thanks. I like your name too." She smiles at him before traveling to the shop where she gets to watch his appetite in action. She waved his apology off. "No worries, Sora. I suppose if you eat more than I can pay for..." Her voice lowers to a whisper, "We will have to flee." She has no desire to stay here to work off what he ate. Once the others are hesr and they're all talking, she told her head at the fox girl. "A vision of all of us? And I'm Aelita Schaefer." She looks at the loud mouth demon. "So... We're all here. What do you suppose you'd want us to do?"

Onsei laughs at Malek's statement, finding it rather amusing. He tilts his head at Hana hearing her warning to the bound demon loud and clear. "Oh? You can't take the truth then? How sad".
"Hana, that's not nice," not that she believes the elemental demoness will listen, "Seriously". The fox girl nods to Aelita, a smile on her lips, "It's nice to meet you". However, as both Hana and Malek turn her help down, a frown mars her pretty face. "You don't need help?...But... My visions always tell me that whoever I see does". Her eyes then drift to Aelita again frown deepening, "I-I don't really know. I mean, I know it was you I saw, but...".
Onsei now rocks his chair, ignoring the glare of their waitress for his bad table manners. He doesn't care. Vibrant eyes look to the human girl, not at all impressed by her stature, her human aura, or even the sound of her heart. But as things are serious right now, there's no need to make fun of her, this he realizes. "What he means is, the visions just show her people, and that up until now that person has needed help of some sort. Sword boy, do you need help?"
Up until now, Sora had been silent, looking from each person talking to another. Upon seeing Malek twisted into a pretzel, his brows furrow. "Oi, that was uncalled for," he tells Hana, not pleased with the mistreatment. He heard what Malek said about being free from the woman, and he obviously is a demon. So maybe they have some sort of bond? It doesn't matter, that wasn't cool.
Aislin's purple eyes suddenly begin to glow silver, the color of stars, while she stares off into space. What....What's going on? A girl? No, that's her. But what's she doing? Oh, she got thrown.....Onsei? Onsei's there too. He's...Fighting. And he looks all beaten up! No! Don't stab him! Oh, thank god, Sora was there to block. Ah!! His arm! Sora's arm was...Was! It was torn off. What's Hana doing there? Fire...She's trying to burn the figure- a mere shadow that Hana cannot see- but it's not working. Cutting it with wind isn't working either. Malek is trying to shoot it, or hit it with some sort of energy, but that's not really working. They're all beaten and battered. Her vision shifts to a calmer time, everyone around her is there as well. Instead, it shows Onsei mocking a girl that apparently had been kidnapped and returned to her mother. Again the vision shifts, this time, they're all laughing around a fire. Again, Malek tearing off an enemy's head. Again. Hana selling what Aislin assumes is one of her goods. One more time, Sora getting handed money for something. A bounty? The vision returns to the first one, where everyone is battered and beaten. Now, the shadow is right in front of her, her friends knocked down for the count. Sora is pale from blood loss as he only has one arm now. Aelita seems to have two broken legs. Onsei has a massive branch protruding from his gut. Malek has no eyes, his jaw also looks broken, and there's a gaping hole in his side. And Hana...Is dead?...No, not dead, but torn all up, as though her own wind acted against her. Her skin is also blotched as though burnt, blue as though frozen- it's as though her powers went haywire. The shadow's 'hand' reaches down for Aislin herself, she can't help but gasp. No....No....."NO!" She finally screams, brought out of her vision. She would have scrambled around and ended up hurting herself if it weren't for the fact that a pair of strong arms holds onto her, her frame against his strong chest. "Help me! Help me! Oh god no! Help me. Why?! No, help them! Help them! Help THEM!" She cries, stuffing her face into Onsei's chest. She does not cry, but she huddles close to the man that could be mistaken as her older brother due to their eye color.
Onsei waves off Sora's words to Hana, knowing that the girl doesn't care. "Let it be, sword boy". "My name is Sora damn you!" Sora returns with a growl. However, it is Aislin's sudden stiffness and harsh breathing that catches the sound demon's attention. His vermilion eyes lock on to her as she goes from panting and obviously scared, to confused and wondering, and then to terrified. His eyes narrow as he looks at those currently silver eyes, carefully pulling her from her chair and into his lap as he now sits properly. Her heart is beating erratically, this he knows from his ears and sense of feel once she's in his lap. What is she seeing, he wonders? Probably a killer bunny, but no matter. Normally- though he's only been with the girl for two years now- her visions only last a few seconds. But this one is particularly long, going on for an entire minute. She soon ebegins to flail and cry and scream, though he holds her strong so that she doesn't end up hurting herself.
Sora's eyes widen upon seeing this episode. It's almost as though she's sick and having a seizure with what she's doing. But that doesn't seem to be the case. "Is she going to be okay?" He questions. He's never seen her have a vision before, so he doesn't know if this is normal or not.
Onsei sighs as the girl wets his shirt with her salty tears, her arms wrapping around his frame and clinging onto him as though he were her last life line. What did she see. "She'll be fine. She's part human so of course killer squirrels would scare her," he half mocks. His purple-red eyes stare down at the girl until she calms down. "Okay, vixen, what did you see this time?"
"I....Saw...Us," Aislin states, resting her forehead heavily on the tall man's shoulder. She doesn't dare release him. What was that? She's never had such a....She doesn't even know what to call it. "I saw six of us," this is what she barely manages to get out as she attempts to calm herself down. It was a vision. Nothing more. There's a chance to change the future.

Hana smirks as everyone decides to speak up minus Onsei of course. "I can't stand lies," she corrects him. She does however relieve Malek of his pretzel position. Of course, she could care less when suddenly the fox girl goes into a fit. Hana watches her closely, obviously concerned. Geez, these visions look more like they're killin' her. Once she comes to, and she explains herself, Hana frowns. "All 6 of us? Do you remember if we were doing anything?" She keeps her voice soft, sympathetic really. She likes making Malek suffer, but he doesn't seem like he'd break in half like Ainslin here, and Hana is curiously how much longer we will be together? She seemed so scared but... She doesn't want to be alone.
Malek grunts as he finally is released, and he falls in a heap on the floor. When he finally picks himself up to keep munching on Dango. Though he only gets one down before Ainslin is thrown into a fit. "What the hell? Is this supposed to be one of her visions?" He watches with wide eyes as she has her fit. Once she's out of it, be stutters, "U-ummm... Do you want some water?" He gets her some if she agrees. He supposes now isn't a good time to ask if he's free from Hana even though they're together. He just lets her share what she can and does his little awkward thing to try and calm her down. Still, he can't help but say, "So we are all together Huh? Why would we all not just go out seperate ways after this dango shop?"
Aelita looks on with distaste as Hana punishes Malek. She doesn't say anything though. It wouldn't be in her best interest. Who is she to fight off this girl if she turned on her? Still, she looks to Ainslin as she has her fit. How dramatic. She sticks around long enough for the fox to calm down and say what we saw. "So, by your description, all 6 of us need some sort of help?" She raises a brow at Onsei. "Sorry, but I don't need anything now. I think I'll be taking my leave after I pay here." She starts trying to finish off her food while the others try to wrap their minds around what happened and what may happen.

Onsei sighs as he easily holds the girl to him, answering Malek's question, "Yes, this is a vision. The only way you can tell, normally, is when her eyes glow silver. I've never seen anything like this before". Once she's out of it, his hold loosens enough for her to get off his lap and back into her chair, letting her drink the water given to her by the bound demon. His eyes eventually drift to Aelita, "Leave if you want. Don't blame us if you end up dying because we weren't around to help you when you did need us". This is why humans don't live long; they're stupid. None the less, he goes back to leaning far back in his chair, propping up his feet without a care. He grins to the half demon, "So, Seeress, what did you see?"
Once settled down enough, Aislin finds a voice to tell Malek, "Yes please," in turn for the offer of water. Her heart still hammers in her chest, but it's no longer like it's going to give out any time soon. When given to her, she thanks him for the water and takes a long gulp before sighing. A shiver of fear walks down her spine, but she does her best- only half succeeds- not to show it. "I don't know why we wouldn't separate after this....A common goal, maybe?" Now she's talking to Aelita, "So please don't go. We need to stay together, no matter what. I don't exactly know why. But we do, I believe it to be for the best". Now her attention turns to her guardian, the man that had kept her from harming herself. "I saw a lot this time. The first part was....We were fighting a thing. It was a shadow of sorts. I don't think it was an actual shadow, but just I couldn't see if for whatever reason. We, all six of us, were fighting it. Losing actually. Hana, your elements had barely any effect, Malek, whatever you use to fight wasn't really working either. Onsei was beaten up, Aelita, I didn't see you but I saw arrows all around so I'm pretty sure you were there........Sora...You lost an arm. Then it changed. To Onsei making fun of some little girl, then to Malek in a fight, then to Hana selling her goods, Sora getting a bounty, all of us laughing around a fire....Then back to the fight. Hana, your powers seemed to have gone against you. Sora, you were dying of blood loss. Aelita, I think I saw your head laying around on the ground. Onsei, you had a branch protruding from your gut, Malek, your eyes were gouged out and your jaw looked broken. The vision ended with the shadow coming for me. I don't know why we were together, but in each and every one vision, I know for a fact that all six of us were there. I think....If we end up separating though, that violent part will happen. It's just a gut feeling but......At the same time, I think we can change that really violent part. The future isn't set in stone". Even though she's yet to be able to change any of her visions thus far. But then again, she's never tried to change the future before.
Sora blinks, wide eyed and stunned, "I...I lost my arm?" And then she saw him getting paid? The only way he makes money is through bounty hunting. There's no other way. The order of the visions don't make sense. Not to him at least. "Aelita, hold on," he request of his new friend, "I've never seen Aislin be wrong about her visions before. Sure, she has to figure them out first, but each and every one has come true from what I know. I don't want you to get hurt just because you didn't believe her".
"Let the little girl go, Sora," Onsei waves off, a mocking gaze sent Aelita's way. He shoos her off as though she were a fly. "She obviously wants to walk off to her doom".
"Don't say that!" Aislin snaps at her guardian. "I don't want her to go, she could die!"

Aelita's brow furrows. "It sounds more like if I stick with you all, I will die." She stares at Sora wearily when he asks her to stay, and then to Ainslin as she insists as well. Sigh. She shakes her head. "Sora asked, so I'll stick around. However, if it looks like I'm in more danger being around you lot, I'm out of here." Still... What was that shadow? "What could possibly be a mere shadow?" She wonders aloud.
"Did you not just hear her say she feels that's what would happen if you seperated?" Hana questions the girl. She trusts Ainslin's feelings if so many trust them as well. "As far as that shadow... I've met a demon who controlled the shadows, but he was easy to beat. This person would be much stronger than an average demon."
Malek happily retrieves water water for the nicest of the group that he's met. He could care less about the human girl running off, regardless of consequence. "It's not like she'd be of any use to us," he says in her defense. "She's just a human with a few flimsy arrows. I don't see any skill set she possesses." When she agrees to stay, he pretty much ignores her. Still, Malek frowns at the description of the vision. "A shadow strong enough to defeat Hana? Or Onsei?" He's caught glimpses of Hana's aura when it isn't tucked away, and it's rather scary. Onsei just drips with danger.
Aelita glares at Malek. He's not wrong. She has no idea what she'd be able to do for them, especially if that shadow comes and not even the demons can keep up. Still... Her eyes lower. "Maybe... What if the reason we can't touch it is because it's something so strong, even demons are weak insects to them. What... What if it's Him? If it's God?" She knows very little about this god. She's never been a spiritual type. But, what else could handle the likes of demons so easily as Ainslin depicted?

Sora releases a sigh of relief as eventually Aelita agrees to stay, if only because he himself has insisted. However, he shoots a childish glare Malek's way, his pride in his own species put to shame with the demon's words. "A human with arrows or a sword is more than enough in this kind of world," he warns. "This is a virtual world, remember. Even humans can be as strong as demons if they really want to," such as himself. None the less he leans down, resting his chin in his hand. "What if the creature isn't a shadow in the first place? Aislin said it was a shadow or that she just couldn't see it, so it could be anything else". He blinks, his eyes widening as Aelita suggests something that is almost out of this world. "You mean Bhunivelze? God, who is apparently going to make us a new world when this one ends? Why would we fight Him?" But it makes sense. While like most- if not all- humans, he cannot sense auras. The only ones that can as far as he knows are shrine maidens and the like. He doesn't know how strong the four demons are, nor how strong Bhunivelze could be. But to be able to hack away at all of them? It's kind of scary. At Onsei's suggestion, he too stands, "I don't see a problem with that," a childish grin is again on his lips, "But afterwords I really do have to go catch a bounty. I'm low on silver pieces".
Onsei sighs, "So you're going to stay then," he shrugs indifferently to Aelita, "Just another pound of flesh to have to save". None the less, as they debate on what the shadow could be, he tilts his head. "Bhunivelze, the god who created all matter, including the living. Fighting him would be interesting. But it still makes no sense as to why we would". None the less, he stands, "It seems that we're all done here; why don't we go and properly introduce ourselves though a bit of sparring?" He raises a brow as Sora speaks up again, "You're supposed to kill him?" A nod from the human, "Perhaps you were being paid the bounty of this target in the vixen's vision".
Aislin's eyes widen as Aelita points out something incredibly valid. Yet....Invalid at the same time. God is the only one that could so easily tear into them, isn't he? Therefore, they had to have been fighting Him in the vision. She shakes her head before smiling to Aelita, "Thank you for staying, Aelita, I'm grateful". Seriously, she is. As Onsei and Sora agree that it'd be a good idea to spar a bit so that they can further get to know one another, she purses her lips, "Why don't we just tell one another what we can do?"
Onsei scoffs, "Because you're stupid and I'm bored," sounds like a good enough reason.
At Aislin's glare towards the sound demon, Sora rolls his eyes, "He means that if we just say what we can do, then if we get into a fight it won't be as easy to coordinate ourselves unless we experience what the others can do".
"No, I meant what I said," Onsei laughs, "Sword boy, did you get weaker? I hope not, a flick from me could kill you". Sora only grumbles. If it's totally agreed upon that they should spar, my guys travel to an empty field outside the town. Though someone, if not Aislin, then perhaps Aelita, has to keep on correcting Sora from going off the path. Not that he'll admit this slight disadvantage. Still assuming that everyone's agreed, Sora questions, "So...Who's up first?"

Post by LochNess on Mar 7, 2015 20:46:45 GMT
Aelita sighs. "It very well may not be him. But it could be. Why we would fight him should be right along with why we are all traveling together based on this vision." Once Onsei insists they spar, Aelita deadpans. "Sparring?" She would rather avoid a fight, but she doesn't argue. She follows Onsei and Aislin to the open field, keeping a close watch on Sora after he nearly got himself lost the first time. "At least we know not to let you lead us anywhere," she teases her closest friend in the group. Once they arrive at the field, she hangs back. She's not eager to fight first. She sticks back and lets the others jump into a fight.
Malek frowns. "What ever. We won't know until it happens." To Sora, he smirks. "You're still mortal and weak, even in this game. You may have a little handicap, but you're still not all that strong compared to those like us." When they mention sparring to learn each other's strengths, he huffs. He's not big on simply sparring, but Hana is eager to do it, and he sticks with his mistress while under contract. At the mention of afterwards, he looks to her. "Oi, please hurry up and finish so I don't have to be under contract."
"It is possible for it to be Bhunezelve, but this old Oni has a point. Just sitting here won't solve the mystery."
"Who are you calling old, kid?"
"You."
"I'm not old. You're just a baby. 25 year old demons better what what they say to their elders."
Hana turns a light red when Malek blabs her age. She's strong despite her youth! And she will prove it. At the mention of sparring, Malek is spared being burned as Hana looks to Onsei with interest. "Sparring? Really? That sounds fun." She gets up to go with them. "You're coming too, Malek." He grumbles but follows. As he asks about getting things sold so he can be free, Hana waves him off. "Yea yea... I'll sell them. I need the money anyways." Once they arrive at an open field, she looks to Sora as he asks who's first. "I'll go first. Will you be my oponent?" She asks sora this, but she casts a glance towards Onsei. He's strong. She knows it. Her ambitious little mind just wants to try against him. She removes the red cloak she wears almost like a cape, revealing better the tattoos that go up her arm and over her shoulder that match Malek's contract tattoo. Who ever is steps forward is met with razor sharp stone knives kicked their way by Hana as an initiation to the fight. She could use this time to brush up on earth and wind, and water too. She's a pro at wielding fire. Water is ok, but she hasn't had the time to really focus on earth and wind. Her smothered aura starts to leak as she pays little attention to it during this fight. Especially towards Onsei. She wants to show her strength to its extent against him. Or at least not bother to hold back on whoever does challenge her. XD be it Sora or Ainslin or Onsei.
Aelita whistles a bit at the sight. Hana seems rather ambitious and ruthless to so nonchalantly kick those razor sharp boulders she shaped in seconds someone came up to fight her. "Her arm..." She mutters. "It looks like a wing that was tattooed on."
While Hana steps up all eager to get her ass kicked, especially by Onsei if he accepts the subtle challenge. He may have talked trash, but he doubts Sora is so weak if Onsei addresses him like he does. He looks to Ainslin, not bothered with the fight. "So, you can fight?"

Onsei, upon hearing about Hana's age, promptly bursts out laughing, nearly collapsing if it weren't for the fact that he uses a certain half demon as a post to hold him up. He ignores her complaints, and continues to laugh, finding it highly amusing that such a baby demon thinks herself to be not only strong, but also has enslaved an obviously older demon. It's hilarious! God, they're both so weak, and yet! The only time he stops laughing, is when they're actually walking and off to the clearing. He easily sees Hana's invitation, glad to put the kid into her place. The girl truly is like a princess. The shards of sharp rock that are kicked at him are easily dodged, his lips settling into that calm, mocking smile. "Come now, is that all you've got, angel?" Not feeling like showing his own power just yet, he'll show it soon though as otherwise this spar would be pointless, he closes the distance and lashes out with a furry of punches, aiming both for her torso and her face. He's never been one to force his aura to sink into his skin and hide like Hana does. Instead, he prefers to let it flow and touch anyone around him. He LIKES knowing that they know he's dangerous. However, even if this flurry of punches is blocked in some fashion, or even dodged, he backs off. He wants to see what the little girl can do. "Come, child, give me everything you've got".
"....Not really, if you think about it," the swordsman denies. "If I die here, I'm just sent back to my body in reality. I'll be forced to exit and re-enter the game, but I won't really die. This world isn't real, after all". And even though the fate of the real world is tied to this fake one's, the same concept is not the same as his own. "Now, if you were to find a way to the real world and kill me, then yes I'd be honestly dead". But in order to do that, he'd have to find a Chaos rift- a portal like gate that connects the real world with the virtual one, gates like these are what allow monsters to enter and exit the worlds as they please. They don't stay in one place, though. Instead, they appear out of no where half the time, and to get them to go away the gate's guardian has to be killed. In which case the gate will close and won't be able to form in that particular spot for a while. Sora huffs, his fact turning a hot shade of pink as Aelita teases him, "My sense of direction is just fine, thanks! I could lead you from point A to point B with ease!" But he stands back from Hana, not wanting to try his hand at fighting the demoness. No no, he has his sights set on Malek, to be honest. "She's going to have to try a lot harder than that to get at Onsei," he tells Aelita who whistles at Hana's ambition. He speaks as though he has experience in fighting the male demon.
Aislin in the mean blinks, "You mean I'm NOT the youngest here? Man, that's a surprise!" Seriously, she expected herself to be the baby demon of the group! And yet, not being that baby is kind of weird. Not that she dislikes it. It'll keep Onsei off her back about still being very young. "Hey! Onsei get off of me! You're heavy damn it!" She growls, ears pressed back flat onto her head. With that quick temper of hers, she shifts and wiggles from under the man, but it does little good, "It's not that funny!" Seriously, he was that young too at one point.....Right? He didn't just spawn or anything, as far as she knows". But still, she blinks, attention taken away from Hana's ambition and Onsei's casual attack. Like Sora, she knows how much of a disadvantage the demoness is at. If she were against Aislin herself, she'd probably have a much easier time. However, she picked what's probably- she hasn't seen Malek fight so who knows?- the biggest fish of the group. "I can fight," she nods to Malek, "I'm not very good at it though. Even though my visions tend to come to me at random times, I can kind of control them to see a couple seconds into the future. It's really useful in a fight". She pauses before sheepishly adding, "I can't control my visions very well though. Other than that, I fight with this," she pulls a rather lovely red bladed dagger from the hilt on her thigh, "To protect me. What about you Malek? I know you're strong, but what can you do?" Sure, she could always wait until he spars, and she even saw him using some sort of energy to fight that shadow in her vision, but still she wants to know from him himself.

Hana huffs as Onsei laughs at her. "What's so funny?" she knows why he's laughing, she's just my sure how to defend herself. She stutters afterwards, "Age is nothing to laugh at!" She look away, clearly irritated that Malek revealed her youth and Onsei's laughing. That's fine. She'll show him once teu spar. A grin spreads over her face when he steps up. "I was making sure you were awake," Hana insisted. She sincerely was only making sure he was paying attention. As he comes at her, she braces herself. Knowing him to be stronger, she decides it's bes to evade his punches, and that's what she does. She sucks and dives and jumps around to avoid the punches. She observes his movements. He's obviously a hardened warrior, he has very little openings to move on. Fine then. As he backs off and calls her a child, she frowns. "Sure thing, Ossan." She doesn't let him back off fully before coming at him. She punches much faster, flames on her fists for added damage. She keeps throwing punches only to throw a random foot at him once or twice. She uses her innate speed, but her strength isn't all that lacking because of it. Shes deceptively strong, and the fire will hopefully add damage. She fakes some to make him flinch to open him for a real punch or kick, etc. She's just matching him with the addition of a little fire.
Malek smiles. "I'll just get to kill you as many times as I pldsse then, no?" Still, at the field, he watched with keen interest. She's strong and fast; but she just can't make up enough of either to really cover the gap in experience between her and Onsei. Even Malek can hurt her when not caught off guard. He's probably the strongest here right now aside from Onsei himself. Still, she's doing well and is being relentless in keeping up. To Ainslin, he smils. "I can fight. My power is a little difficult to explain with out showing it. Maybe I'll show you once these two are done. Hana is taking this way too seriously, so this may be a minute." He laughs as well when Ainslin remarks about not being the youngest demon. "Nah, she's got us beat im sure. Even several humans are older than her by now."
Aelita smirks as Hana reacts to being called a baby. She really is like one though. She huffs and what not like one. If she were not young, she'd pressume her a princess as well. Still, once he gets himself nearly lost once or twice, she giggles. "Admit it Sora. That's your weakness. You couldn't tell north from south if there was a giant compass telling you where it is." She pats his back, giving a playful laugh. Once on te field, she observes the two. "Onsei is kidding around, but Hana is really trying. In time, she could be a scary oponent even for him. For now, she's barely stronger than me, I don't know about you." She looks to Sora. "Think you could take that midget girl?"

Onsei continues to laugh even as he gives an answer, "You're so young!" He laughs out, not that he cares that it annoys her. Still, he yawns upon her announcing that she was making sure he was awake, "No, I'm sleep walking at the moment," he mocks with a smirk. The fire covered fists that come at him, put him on defense, allowing him to weave between punches. A disadvantage for him in this situation is that he can't really duck to get away from a punch, as he's so big. However, he has long since trained his body to be be strong and fast on equal levels, keeping each way of attack and defense strong and sharper than even Sora's sword. "Ossan? Yes, I am an old man, aren't I?" Her attempt at pissing him off does nothing. It washes off of him like water over a duck's back. "Better than being young, really," he tells her with a chuckle. Still, it is obvious that the girl is taking this little spar seriously, going so far as to actually plan her way of attack before going along that path. He can see it in her eyes; she wants to win. "These spars are used to display our abilities....You obviously can control the four elements. Would you like to see my skill?" He doesn't wait for an answer, as he blocks a kick or punch- her most recent attack- and closes her up, rending her other limbs momentarily useless with nothing but a push of his hand. Once she's closed up, he plants a kick to her chest, pushing instead of actually kicking her. He pushes her hard enough to get her away from him, but doesn't aim to make her fall or even harm. Don't wanna scar up that pretty skin of hers. He easily hears Sora's curse, a broad smile spread across his face as he steps out of his fighting stance. Instead, he stands normally, feet parallel. His mouth opens, and then....Sound. The sound released from his person isn't something like a scream, or anything so violent. Instead, it's....Kind of a song. A song no one there could probably understand. His voice sounds to be layered with synthetic voices, two more voices added to his own, voices maybe a machine would have. Voices that not only over lap his, but also echo what he says. It is a pretty song, or it could be, if it didn't sound sinister. To those that hear it, the words that come from him sound like, "La, la-mo, lay-e-e-e-e-e-eeeee. La, la-mo, la-ah-ah-ah-ah....ah-ah-ah-ah". Of course, he sings much faster than the guy in the video I showed you did. His particular song only takes about five seconds to finish. The purpose of the song is to stop the girl, lock her muscles in place and make them refuse to move. He walks forward, having no need to repeat the song on a girl like Hana, knowing that one verse will do the trick to hold her still for about three hours. Longer if her will is weak. "What's the matter, princess?" He questions as he circles her prone form. "Can't move? Did you like my song? I call it Dye Music". He chuckles, "Sound is such a brilliant thing. Normally, most can only momentarily brainwash someone. And for them, it only lasts for as long as they sing. My control is much stronger than most. If I will it, I can stop your heart". He likes playing the bad guy as he's decided to do as I assume Hana's struggling to be free. He allows only the muscles in her jaw to move, so that she may talk, but everything else is stationary.
Sora scoffs at Malek, the demon rubbing him the wrong way. However, as Aelita decides to tease him about about being directionally challenged, he forgets his annoyed-ness. Instead, he pouts, "I can totally tell north from south!" He points south west for north, and east for south, as an an example without realizing that he can't even do that correctly. Sora watches the battle closely. It's not Onsei he really watches. He knows what the demon can do, their past together will remain unknown for now though. Instead, he focuses on the amount of control the elementalist has on her abilities. She seems to stick with fire almost naturally. Is that her strongest element? He's jerked out of his thoughts when Aelita asks him what she does. "Huh- Oh. I'd have no problem against her," he tells his fellow human, "I'm nothing but a human, but her stance and way of fighting is filled with holes. Sure she'll be strong when she's got more experience under belt, that much is obvious. But as she is now, I could totally kick her ass".
"I can't wait to see you fight then, Malek," she smiles to the bound demon, pleased to actually have found a friend in the man. After all Onsei is an asshole, and Hana is almost as bad. Aelita doesn't seem very trusting, and while Sora is nice....They didn't separate from one another on good terms last time they were around one another. In the mean time, Aislin watches closely as the girl takes the oldest demon there on. It's not much of a match, really. Though it's more than what Aislin's seen on average. Normally she just sees him dancing around as he had during the beginning. However, Aislin's never actually seein the older demon use his power. Seeing it....No...Hearing it is actually...Scary to her. The echoes and over lays of his voice(s) is terrifying. Dye Music he calls it? Why? It's obvious he can do more than just make a person immobile with his skill, but Hana is obviously lucky that he stops at just that and instead settles for taunting her without a care in the world. For some odd reason, she can't get that song out of her head, the way it sounded to her. It was sinister but pretty at the same time. Probably because it's so different from what she's used to. Remembering the 'song' is no different from remembering any sound, so luckily she's not left immobile just for remembering Onsei's attack.

"I dunno. Old men tend to break easy," Hana tells her sparring partner. Still, she continues her furious assault on Onsei. She can't let him get away with making fun of her age! She tries her hardest to prove her point, of course. When he decides to reveal his own ability, Hana's eyes widen. What is it he can do? She pulls back, or tries to. Her last hit, which she was in mid swing when he hinted that he'd reveal his demon ability. She grunts as she's pushed back by his foot, stumbling a good yard or two away. "What are you about to do?" She demands when he opens his mouth to sing. As she hears the chant, her golden eyes narrow. What ever is about to happen, maybe she can interfere with it before it happens! She leaps forward to attack him once more, with a renewed ferocity. However, she's stopped mid stride by the power of his sound. "What the..." She struggles to move, but sold she can do is stare forward at and speak. "Sound is your ability?" What ever answer he gives us followed by a giant stream of flame as she breathes fire much like a dragon in attempt to burn him. After a minute of the fire, she struggled once more on getting free. She wants to defeat this man. She NEEDS to. She needs to prove herself especially after Malek blabbed her age. "Sorry, but I refuse to let you stop my heart," she insists as she struggled to break free of the muscle locking effects. With all of her fighting to be able to move, all she gets in the minute she does so are twitches in her fingers and neck. Still, those twitches tell her she can regain control. If she has to, she continues fight with out moving more than what her little Twitches get her.
Aelita blanches. "You got it backwards almost completely. Just leave directions to the rest of us, okay? I don't want to starve in a wilderness following you." Still, as she watches the blonde get her ass kicked by Onsei, well more like she's toyed with, Aelita whistles. She's never been much of a fighter, especially not up close like that. She knows the basics, but she's always preferred a bow and a safe distance. That makes her worry a bit over when she's asked to spar. She's going to humiliate herself worse than Hana here and she knows it. Te worry isn't very well hidden in her face either. "She'd sure have me at least," Aelita mutters. "I'm not very good up close like that." That's not to say she won't hold her own against the likes of Hana or even Ainslin, but unless she can put some distance between herself and her oponent, she will stand little chance of winning.
Malek nodded to Ainslin. "I'll be sure to show what I've got just for you." He smirks and nudges her arm rather playfully. "I'm curious to see you spar myself." He looks back to the current oair as Hana is frozen stiff by a song. "That's a scary talent," he mutters. Still, Hana doesn't give up even now that she's just a loud mouth, paralyzed baby. It does mildly impress Malek to see the determination and will she possesses. Too bad those by themselves don't get people very far in life. She can try, but it looks like he has her. Still, the oni is tense. He feels the strain of their contract on his consciousness. He senses he may have to step in soon at the very least so he won't go crazy resisting.

"Oh? Since when do old people do that?" He laughs out. The fire that comes at Onsei is amusing. A low hum, so low that it's impossible for the humans to hear, and very hard for demons to hear, is released from tight lips. It is this hum that protects him from the fire breathed at him like a dragon. The particles that make up fire are slowed to a halt, dissapating the heat before it can do any damage to him. "Nice try," he mocks. He can see the twitches, and decides that it'd be best if he were to be finished with her. There are others that need to fight as well, after all. That said, it is with a mere, "Laaa-mooooe," that releases Hana from her suffrage. I assume she'll be swift to attack right as soon as she can feel herself free. The instant reaction to freedom is what allows the demoness to smack the demon right in the jaw with whatever she's got in store for him, whipping his face to the side but not moving the rest of him. Blood pools in his mouth. "Ow," he chuckles out after spitting out blood. He was honestly surprised that the girl could react so quickly, but he's not worried. Instead of getting angry, he believes in getting even, upping his relaxed speed to attack her with a punch to her left rib cage that would easily harm them a decent amount. This is where Malek should probably step in. When/if he does, Onsei looks to his fellow male, ignoring the fact that blood lust has begun to roll off of him.
"What? No way!" Sora denies as he's told he practically got the directions wrong. The look on his face is that of a seriously surprised child. He was certain he had it down this time! Damn it! None the less, he shutters as he hears Onsei's music. He remembers it well. "Onsei is a man made for war. He's an army killer, you could say. So he tends to make one-on-one fights look especially easy," Sora supplies. "There's actually a trick to fighting up close when you're an archer. I don't know what it is, but if you've ever seen those old movies, Lord of the Rings, you'd know what I mean". He shrugs, falling away from the real life reference. "I think you'd give Hana a decent run for her money, actually, it's a gut feeling".
"I feel special if you're gonna spar just for me," Aislin laughs out, white fox tail wagging out her pleasure. Although she barely knows this bound demon, she finds him highly enjoyable. And that's without factoring in the fact that she's been with Onsei longer than anyone should have to be. None the less, she waves off Malek sheepishly, almost as though trying to cover up her weakness. "Oh no, you don't want to see me to that! I'm really not good at fighting, honest!" Seriously, she's not very good at fighting up front. Maybe from the shadows- at night in other words- then yes. But not in this instance. Not against anyone here. Besides, she specializes in trickery and sneaking around as a fox should. However as Malek mentions that Onsei's talent being scary, she shivers, "It's terrifying. You heard Sora call him an army killer, right?....He really is. He's not invincible, but he might as well be with that power of his".

Hana grits her teeth and sets her mouth in a silent snarl once she sees her flames did no good. Sound is tricky, indeed. She struggled to be free, only sling into her original attack that he froze her in once Onsei released her. It may have been a bit by luck, but she smirks. At least she got him! When he turns to fight once more, she braces herself to block him. Unfortunately, well actually it's fortunate for her. His hand is stopped with the flat side of a silver katana that belongs to a certain oni.
Malek laughs, and bf laughs more when she tried to play off his wanting to see her fight. "That's why I want to watch. I bet your style is far from the conventional swords or martial arts. And you'd be good at it. You're not proclaiming to be strong like Hana here." Speaking of which, he starts to relax as Onsei releases her in attempt to call it a match. Too bad for him that she got that one good swing in. He whistles. "Well that army killer just got bitch slapped by that baby demon." He makes sure to say this loud enough for onsei to hear, finding it in will to pick on him. However, as he suddenly turns serious, Malek's eyes narrow. He can't lef Hana get hurt. In a burst a speed that rivals light or sound, he appears before Onsei with his katana blocking the hand. "That's enough. It's just a spar. Don't turn so serious on a child because she managed to get one little slap in. Fight me if you feel the need to fight something." The tattoo on his arm glows subtly as he does this.
"Oi! We're not done!" Hana insists.
"Yes, you are. Its my job to keep you safe, and this demon appears to be done with toying with you like he has been. So, I'm calling it quits."
Hana wants to protest, even to burn this fool alive for interfering, but for once she isn't so petty. She can't punish him for upholding his part of the deal. However, she looks Onsei dead in the eye. "This isn't over, Ossan! I'll kick your ass next time! Just you wait!" The spirit has indeed never died in her soul. She will get stronger, and she will fight him tooth and nail until he's a bloody pulp.
Malek sighs and shakes his head. "You're never gonna learn, are you?" He mutters. Still, he moves from just his sword being in the way to all of him with the tip of his sword aimed at Onsei. He isn't eager to fight Onsei, but he knows his abilities could foil Onsei's. So, at least he stands a chance. If he insists on fighting Malek, the oni will gladly oblige and let him take the first attack. If Onsei backs down, he immediately looks to his little human rival for a challenge of swords.
"Yes way." Aelita insisted. She has siblings. Sne can do this all day long. At the mention of using bows for close combat, she nods. "I know that movie. The style of fighting is nice, but it leaves little defense. I'd have to ensure im on the attack at all times." She frowns at the thought of having to just dodge. She could block with her bow, but that'd only happen once, maybe twice, before her bow is split in half by the sharp weapons and the impact of a strong fist. "She's sloppy, but she's fast, fast enough to probably dodge my attacks all too easily. I'd like to see you fight her though. And Malek of course." Once the Oni steps in, Aelita tilts her head. "She did hit him last, and if you think about it, she can be given credit for Malek jumping to her defense. He got into a contract to protect her, right? It's not like tricking him or commanding her contract to bend his will to protect her aren't in their own ways impressive. of course, she can't be credited for Malek's strength snd what not, but his jumping to her aid isn't something to be ignored. That is a card for her to use, after all."

Onsei blinks as his fists slams into the flat of a katana, curious as to how it got there. However, his slight surprise doesn't last long as he puts two and two together. A bond demon must protect his mistress. Simple as that. He stands to his full large height. In his home place, the game with a title he has never really paid much mind to, he's tall even for a demon, literally standing at six foot ten, he's a giant. But that's besides the point. He stands to his full height and smiles down at Malek, assuming the oni is shorter than he. "I hadn't planned on truly hurting her," he tells the man with a smile. Honestly, the demon has more control, and the punch would have been slowed and made weaker at the last second to match the force she had hit him with. But, he supposes that Malek didn't know. So of course as a guard dog he would step forth and protect his master as mentioned. "But okay, the fight's over," his attention falls upon his former opponent, a broad smile across his face. "Come back and fight me when you're ready, princess. You can even bring your knight in shining armor with you; I don't mind fighting two on one". He laughs as he walks off to the side, passing Sora as he goes and clasping a hand on the shorter man's shoulder. Once on the side lines, he eyes Aislin before teasing. "Have you fallen for him that quickly, little girl?" Her answer makes him laugh and plop onto his ass, leaning back on his hands without a care. He watches Malek with interest. At the moment, he can tell that the oni can give him at least a small run for his money, but at the same time he can also tell that there's something within the man that could give his sound a work out. What they had seen was only a taste, but no matter. He knows that thought is cocky, and he honestly doesn't care. He's trained and fought for hundreds of years to get this strong, to survive for so long, so why the hell can't he be cocky?
Sora in the mean time huffs. He doesn't have any siblings, so he doesn't know what it's like to argue with someone that can react to his childish ways in such an easy manner. "No way," he grumbles again, denying the fact that he's directionally challenged. He can get around just fine! Says the guy who gets lost in a place he's been to more than a dozen times a year and gets lost every time. But still, he tilts his head. He's never seen a demon block Onsei's attack with such speed before. Not even a human. "Sure it's a card to use, but which of them is stronger? Malek or Onsei?" Sora thinks Onsei, but only because of their past together. "That sword could easily be broken with just a snap of Onsei's fingers. I assume Malek has more than just swordsmanship, so that would put the two on even grounds weapon wise...But...," he doesn't finish his statement. But that's besides the point as he takes Malek's silent challenge on, placing a hand onto the hilt of his sword strapped to his back. He nods to Onsei as the demon 'tags out' so to speak for the next round. He stares down his demonic rival, forest green eyes calm but without a childish hint to them at all. The normally casual, playful man has been replaced with a conditioned warrior. He's not conditioned to the lengths of Malek, obviously, but his experience out does what a normal person his age would have. Since Malek's blade has been drawn, Sora releases his own from its home, showing alabaster metal and a black guard. A single black cloth wraps around the hilt and dangles but does not come undone. It looks thin for a long sword, more of a cross between a katana and a long sword than anything else. It has a katana's shape, however it it double edged, the tip serrated to tear flesh as it enters in a stabbing motion. For now, his grip is one handed, but once he himself has felt the demon's strength, he knows he'll have to move on to two hands. He takes the initiative, slowly moving forward at first but then picking up pace once it's deemed needed. His blade starts low, going for an upward swinging arc.
"....Well yea...But still it doesn't really work against guys like Onsei," and that's all she's really had to compare her power against. She honestly doesn't see herself as strong. Sure, she acts it, but even so. Aislin can't believe that Onsei actually got hit by the baby demon as Malek mentions. "....I wish she hadn't done that," she mutters. She knows how her demon companion thinks, of how he likes to get even. However, she blinks and her eyes widen. One moment Malek was next to her, the next he's blocking Onsei's attack. It surprises her. And even more surprising, Malek doesn't look like he's at all pressed for holding the other back. At the same time, the other doesn't look at all like he's trying to break through the block. Onsei was playing again. "Stupid army killer". She grumbles.
"What was that, Seeress?" Onsei coos out, causing the fox girl to jump.
"I called you stupid!" She throws back again, "Playing around all the time will get you killed!"
There is a long pause before Onsei smiles, "Yes....Death would come to me, wouldn't it?" Aislin's brows furrow. Why.....Does he sound happy about that? Not even she knows everything about this guy. The fact that he seems to look forward to death disturbs her. Still, as the fight begins, she honestly doesn't know who to cheer for. Malek, her new and closest friend out of the group? Or Sora, a man with whom he has a history?
