Just Walking (Vixy)

[Jay]

The day was in the afternoon hours by the time Haiiro Navi walked into Evergreen City. The air was rather crisp as though explaining quietly that things were going to change in the weather soon enough, and the Skarmory that rode the air above the dark haired man as he walked into the city was keeping a very close eye on his master far below. The metallic bird pokemon lacked the ability of Keen Eye, yet as long as he focused, he was able to watch far down below. It always slightly unnerved the bird when his trainer went into places far harder to see through, yet he could not detour Haii and knew this.

Haiiro sighed to himself even as he walked. There was a lot of training that needed to be done especially with his new pokemon... The mildly annoying female Machamp that insisted on picking flowers and handing them out instead of actually training was starting to get on Haii's nerve, yet he wouldn't admit this to anyone or anything for that matter. As for the Buizel, she was tough and at least willing to work with him to get stronger. He was grateful for this, yet it didn't make him any less tired of constantly finding her fighting with the other pokemon including Steel, the Skarmory that insisted on scrutinizing the Buizel for her constant belief that she was the leader of the group. Yes this was annoying to say the least of things, but Haiiro wasn't the type to complain outright on such matters. Instead, he simply locked them away in his thoughts and pressed forwards far more silent than ever.

Upon finally getting onto the actual main street of the city, Haiiro walked straight northwards keeping his eye out for any supply stores or the like.... He also kept an eye out for something else.... Just in case someone would make the stupid move of trying to rob him or the like. He was not a forgiving person on the matter, and because of this, it stuck in the back of his mind and made him wary and always wanting to make sure that there was no one too close.

It was already in the afternoon when Desiree walked through the streets of the small town. On her bag was her scythe still wrapped in its black cloth to avoid being seen by unsuspecting eyes today she managed to complete one of her ‘assignments’ nothing really that big. Just a few people that pissed her client off and now requested to off the poor fellow. Not that it ever bothered her, people were always the same that’s why people like her family powered upon their greed.

“Maybe we could just shop back in the capital it’s all that long from here Nero.” She contemplated upon seeing the numerous people out in the streets. Crowded places always did unnerved her to some extents hence why she had been pretty adamant to avoid towns unless it was to resupply or just plain renting a small room in some unknown inn.

Scyther merely looked over at his master as he walked beside her. Acting as a sort of bodyguard for the young ‘frail’ looking child, even in small town they could never trust the men in it. Drunks and thieves lurk every corner of the alley ways. Using the chaos itself to do their deeds, but what really irked Nero were the rapist… “Scy, Scyth” He replied as if reasoning with the young girl to just buy the items and get it over with.

“Fine ill do it…” The girl grumbled while turning to the left heading towards the market place. While they were walking two men walked by her, one even had the gall to reach for her side before she mercilessly grabbed the man’s arm and painfully twisting it then kicking him square in the nuts. The man fell on the ground holding his family jewels while the other was plainly laughing at his friend’s misfortune. Desiree glared at the man emotionless before walking off. Already she was getting into trouble…

[Jay]

The Skarmory's eye caught sight of the sudden movement not far off, and he tensed sharply waiting to see if it was worth reporting to Haiiro. After a moment, the bird called out, much like any other bid, yet it was obvious to Haiiro that it was Steel. Commotion? Great.... Haiiro's mind was bloodied ith sarcasm as he sighed to himself and continued walking despite Steel's warning. He wasn't worried in the least due to the sheer belief that he was stronger than more than three quarters of the people there. If they wanted to mess with him, he'd just have Steel drop down from the sky and beat them back in half an instant.

Are all of these buildings just houses? He wondered to himself eying the log cabins and wondering if there was even a place to buy anything at that point. The fact that his mind had trailed off had caused Haiiro to walk straight into someone. Being forced back, the dark haired man blinked a moment, stared a fraction longer, before falling into silence for a much longer time. "Sorry," he finally said aloud with a rather monotone voice.

[shinigamivixen]

Desiree barely held back her temper from the pervert who dared touch her. But she had learned a long time ago to keep her own emotions in check. Should have just chop it off.. She mused to herself while barely holding back a small smirk of satisfaction from crossing her face. The young girt glanced back only to see the man still in the ground for a second she contemplated whether or not just to send a bullet through the pervert’s skull. But she thought none of it, too many witnesses anyway…

Her mind trailed off to the possible one hundred and one ways to castrate perverts into the next world and back. Hell would do nicely but the devil might not be willing to release possible torture residents to his domain. Not that he was seriously lacking in that department…

Adjusting her bag she calmly weaved through the sidewalk, time to time she would glance at the faces of the men and women passing by her. Calm down Desiree you’ll soon be out of this place soon enough She thought to herself to calm down her itching nerves. Paranoia was her worst fear but she had enough experience to control hers when it reacts. But it didn’t make it easier when having to socialize with these people.

Her hand soon clenched itself into a fist while Nero remained close by her side. Her mind reeling off to the possible scenarios that could happen in a crowded street, she forced her mind off the topic before… Someone suddenly bumped her. Desiree quickly looked up to see a dark haired stranger with an indifferent attitude plastered on his face apologizing in a monotone voice.

“Its no problem.” She replied keeping her crimson orbs glued to the man as she kept a neutral look on her face.

[Jay]

Haiiro didn't say anything as the girl replied but simply found his eye moving to the Scyther with her for a few seconds before sighing out again. Suddenly someone bumped into him from behind, and the dark haired man made quick work to elbow said person in the stomach. Haiiro's dark eyes shifted backwards and found the face of the person whom had just tried to 'bump' him and steal his wallet more or less. Stupid thieves.... The person reeled back surprised that he had been caught.

"I don't have a wallet, you know," Haiiro said turning to the man fully and away from the girl he had bumped into for a moment. "But I don't forgive thieves that easily." A strange grin took to his face before he moved sideways and kicked the man back sharply before stepping on him and leering down with still a strangely dark blank face by that point. The man reflected with a look of terror if anything.

After a moment, the dark haired man kicked the pickpocket once more before turning back to the girl. He stared another moment before closing his eyes and sighing. "Sorry for the show," he sighed outwards making a motion to step around the girl once more. "Not usually my taste of things."

Steel, still high above, watched as Haiiro showed his more heartless sighed and simply nodded to himself. He knew fully well how cruel the dark haired man could be towards humans, and he was willing to accept this. Unless ordered to by Haaiiro, the Skarmory would remain in the sky and simply watch from overhead.

[shinigamivixen]

Nero stared at the man as his gaze traveled towards him. His instincts were already telling him that this man could prove to be danger. He then turned his gaze back to his trainer with no orders given the Scyther was forced to just wait and see even though not liking the entire idea of it.

Strange.. This man might carry the aura of power around him but he doesn’t at all have the social skills to booth… Her mind added as a quick thought as she remained silent. She was more than ready to just move along when the man turned around elbowing the pick pocket that almost took his wallet. The city was never safe anymore around this region. Whoever plans to take the throne to this place sure has a lot of work to do just to stop the severe unrest of this place.

Desiree merely watched the entire show not even wincing as the man kicked the poor bastard she could have sworn she heard a bone crack back there. She didn’t utter a word as she and her Scyther watched the entire ‘show’ heck the man deserved it for trying to steal. Just then she felt a hand hover on her backside. Her eyes quickly narrowed before turning back as she punched the man straight in the face. A crack was heard as the man broke his nose but she was done yet. Desiree then kicked the man straight in his family jewels. The man screamed in pain before falling on the ground curling up in a fetal position while nursing his… Jewels.

“Damn pervert…. “ She muttered vehemently as she looked back to the man after hearing him speak. “It’s okay, but I think you might have broken a few bones on the bastards body” She said innocently as if merely talking about the weather and not the current violence she seem to be getting stuck these days.

[Jay]

Upon halfway seeing that the girl in front of him could take care of herself, Haiiro half smirked before shrugging his shoulders. "Money is money, and weaklings that can't make their own aren't meant to live in this world," he answered back before catching sight of what appeared to be yet another man coming up towards them with a club in his hand.

The man yelled out in irritation some stupid remark about beating up his friend, and Haiiro's pupils nearly turned to slits as the dark haired man didn't wait for an attack but simply rushed forwards and kicked the man in the head before following suit, sing the force as a weight, forcing the man to fall backwards, and stepping fully on the man's face right then and there. The dark haired man's face was a blank sheet as before as he stared down at the man before him.

"You weak maggots should stay in the gutters were you belong," Haiiro said aloud as he stared down at the man. His voice remained monotone in nature only seeming to increase the causticity of his words "Or you'll get your skulls crushed..." Another cynical grin seemed to work its way on Haiiro's face as he applied extra pressure on his foot. The man flailed a fraction but was unable to get Haiior's foot off his face.

The dark haired man turned back to the girl and stared down with a dark stare. "Not that I care, but you might want to leave. There appears to be more coming," he sighed aloud catching sight of more people on their way.

[shinigamivixen]

Now this is something you don’t hear everyday… Desiree’s mind added partially in amusement while the other half was more bending to the trouble that would cause. But who’s to say her ‘life’ wasn’t troubled in the first place. She was reeled out her thought by the man’s comment as she barely held back a snicker. He was right the world still followed ‘The strong shall live while the weak shall die’ rule ever since the dawn of mankind.

And there doesn’t seem to be breaking point to that rule yet. That’s humanity for you always trying to find a way to kill and maim hence forth no real peace can ever be claimed unless you’re dead and buried somewhere on the cold hard earth. But even then she wondered if there was any peace at the other side. Her sister really should send her a letter about it when mankind invents a way to chat with the dead.

The girl looked back at the man ready to comment his words before she heard a yell from the back of him. A man loudly cursing the dark haired man before he took care of it, Another show? She thought nonchalantly silently staring as the man spoke while stepping on the poor bastard’s face. “A little more and the idiot is going to die” She stated simply leaning against the wall along with her Scyther. The sound of feet alerted her of more trouble on the way as she tilted her head to the side just in time to see a gang of men brandishing weaponry heading their way.

She barely held down a smirk, she did need to let loose one of these days. And the chance just presented itself in a silver platter. What to use, what to use?.. Better stick with hand to hand combat or guns She thought in mild amusement only to look back at the teen upon hearing his comment. “Nah, they already saw me with you. Chances are they’re just going to chase me as well” She said nonchalantly. Her betrayed no emotion along with her face.

[Jay]

A strange half grin worked its way on Haiiro's face before he simply stood up fully and leered at those that were coming. "Steel, Sky Attack," he said aloud. Suddenly the Smarkory dropped straight down out of the air on his trainer's command and knocked down those that were coming. In that moment, Haiiro had started running in the direction of his Skaarmory and followed suit beating down those that had managed to withstand the sky attack. Jumping up and using the trees that were ever present in the area, Haiiro jumped up on the roofs and continued running.

You started a fight..... Steel thought to himself as he flew just above Haiiro. He didn't doubt that his trainer could read his thoughts on such a thing, yet he also knew that Haiiro was the type of man not to truly caare at that point. Instead, he was listening into hear if someone was following him.

[shinigamivixen]

Did he just abandoned me?

Desiree blinked in utter disbelief, a few moments ago she had watched the stranger ordered a Skarmory to strike from the skies before foolishly charging towards the remaining who survived the attack then using the trees as leverage he left to the roof tops. The young girl sighed, it was obvious the basic rule ‘Save your own hide’ comes into play here.

“Well that’s one way to steal the fun…” She commented lightly as she stared at the broken bodies of the men the stranger beat up. Some of them won’t be able to leave the ICU unit for a month give or take they don’t end up in traction. But hey when did she care? “C’mon Nero we better get those supplies the faster we go the sooner we get out of this place.” She muttered half heartedly signaling to her Scyther before turning back to the direction of the street. Heck let the police handle them she didn’t want to be the one responsible for those idiots.

Humans are strange creatures… Nero thought to himself as a sweat drop formed on his forehead from his master’s ‘don’t give a fuck’ attitude not that he could blame her though. Silently he followed the young girl back into the busy urban town.

[Jay]

Haiiro had stopped running then and was standing on a tall part of a tree sighing to himself for a few seconds. His eye had turned back to the white haired girl he had seen. The Skarmory was now up in the sky once more watching the entire scene as if he had never moved from there. After a moment, Haiiro looked down and let out a sigh before deciding to get back to finding a place to buy some supplies.

He walked for a good amount of time before finally walking into a suitable store only to find that a familiar face was in there was well. The dark haired man stopped halfway through the door wondering whether or not to simply go in or to leave right then and there. After another moment, he walked in.

[shinigamivixen]

Vegetables, fruits, bandages… Now what else am I missing?.. Desiree mentally listed the items she might or might not need for her travels. As her sensei always did try to pound into her thick skull it was better prepared than dead in some part of the wilderness. It had taken her a good fifteen minutes of walking around this city, mostly in circles… just to find this place after asking a few more people along the way.

The nearby supermarket would have been a better choice but there´s just too much people in that place for her comforts. Hence forth the young girl was stuck with one option. Hunt down a small shop here in the city. Which had been a chore itself, but now that it was done… She carried her purchases over to the counter.

The shopkeeper quietly ran the items through the scanner as he chewed his gun. “Seventy dollars please.” He spoke in a bored tone as if he had better things to do rather than run a grocery shop. At least this would last for a week… She mused to herself before taking out a hundred dollar bill from her pocket handing it to the man as she waited for her change which was given after handing her back her purchases. With a quick nod of thanks she was just about to leave when the bell rang signaling another costumer. Her gaze went towards the door to find… The man? She blinked for a second before finally saying. “Uhm… Hey.”

[Jay]

Haiiro blinked again before actually considering what exactly to say to someone in this situation. "....Hi...." he answered back after another moment before his face seemed to take on the serious air again causing him to sigh outwards. "Buying supplies too?" he questioned before taking a step and starting to look at what exactly there was to buy. He needed some pokemon food, and he could pretty much deal with getting his own food if need. He had little money on him but managed to get enough for at least a bag of pokemon food, and with that, he spent his money and then took the bag.

Turning back, he saw that Steel was strangely impeding the way out as the metal bird sometimes did by accident or for reasons. Haiiro raised and eyebrow but found that Steel was somewhat scrutinizing the girl and not letting her pass. "Steel..." Haiiro sighed outwards. "Let her pass." The Skarmory just continued to stare a moment before sighing and moving a fraction out of the way of the door frame.

[shinigamivixen]

Desiree blinked again, somewhat contemplating her reply to man who didn’t even have the gall to say his own name. But she wasn’t any different. “Yeah.” She replied after a few minutes of silence before the intense of feeling of being watched attacked her senses. She turned her head catching sight of the scrutinizing look the metal bird was giving her. What the hell did I do to his bird? She thought in confusion before meeting its stare with her crimson orbs. Desiree wasn’t about to let it think that she was afraid of it heck her pride and reputation was on the line!

After the glaring fest did she turn back to look at the man paying for one of the sacks of pokefeed. Seriously how hard was it to make your own pokefood? They never do learn how much money they save just making their own… “Friendly bird” She commented before stepping out of the establishment.

[Jay]

"He gets agitated when he can't see me from the sky," Haiiro answered back walking out as well with the bag in hand. The Skarmory tilted his head a fraction, waited for his trainer to exit, and then followed again with a cool step next to his trainer. However, the metallic bird kept his eye on the girl for a few seconds longer before looking away and continuing. He was a prideful bird and wasn't about to let any harm come to Haiiro if this girl chose to do anything suspicious. This was Steel's thought.
