The night sky glittered with the many dimonds called stars, a cold wind was blowing through the streets of brodway the snow on the ground glinted in the moon light in the back alleys on the main street neon signs lit up the darkness making the sky itself a hazy grey only the brightest of stars shining through the haze. a well dressed man with long blond hair in a ponytail stood outside the theater the show would be out soon. who he was waiting for even he was not to sure. in his hand was a single newspaper from that morning. he sighed softly as he looked down at it. War pain suffering murders all were shoved onto the front page as a single large picture of the mayor assuring all of this would be "Handled" looked up at him he scoffed lightly. what was this world coming to but then he had nothing realy to say. he was the adopted son of a busness man who owned many of the main shipping companies in the usa. he was going to inhariet that fortune one day but that seemed to annoy him more then comfort him. "Excuse me but do you know when the show will let out?" he asked a woman at the ticket office. she smiled kindly at him becuse he was handsome and well dressed. "Oh another few minutes sir...you are waiting for someone?" she asked leaning closer to him. he waved her off. "Yes...something like that" he spoke softly as his eyes slowly looked at the door. he had the most unusal eyes unlike most people who had normal green brown blue of black eyes his where crimson red. the press had been told it was an effect of a childhood desies he had caught before he was adopted but he knew better... *** Out back in the ally way biding it's time a shadow like figure waitied for the play to let out it seemingly clung unatualy to a wall its back to the wall itself as it faced forward its face was batlike almost human but not quite it's unclothed body was jet black and almost featureless its arms like fethered wings with hands attacked to the top of the wing. it had a long slender tail with a slight fork at the end. the creature licked its lips as it sat there waiting for its prey to come out the backstage door. |

The woman lay motionless, unconcious, nearly dead as her lover held her to him in a cheap apartment. It had been a few months since they'd seen each other, she had fallen into to drugs when Roger had left her because he believed her to be cheating, when in fact it was nothing of the sort. She was beautiful, her body the ideal form for a woman, but that was because she had once been an exotic dancer. Her curly dark brown hair hung about her limp figure as she was laid upon a table. The man sang a short song to her that he had written about her. Then she seemed to die, the life leaving her. Roger, her lover, a man with wavy brown hair to his shoulders broke down as she died. He hadn't even gotten to tell her he loved her. Then she woke up, and everyone was happy again, the woman had recovered. A final song was sung, the curtain dropped, and the cast came out for a final bow.
~~~
Another show had been completed. Ary Remington was always exhausted by these, but she loved her job on broadway. It had been her dream since childhood to perform on that stage in that play in that particular role. And she had achieved it. Ary went to her dressing room and removed her Mimi costume- Mimi was the exotic dancer she played, and Ary had to say she was a little like Mimi herself- though she didn't perform in a club for a living. Instead she performed on stage. After a while, she was done.
Ary left her small dressing room, saying good night to her fellow cast members, see you tomorrows, and all sorts of niceties. She grabbed her full length leather coat and zipped it around her, opening the cast door to the alley just outside. Ary was jarred by the freezing air, its shock sending chills down her spine. She shivered and stepped fully outside, letting the door close behind her. With that, Ary turned to leave the dark alley as she did every other night.

The shadowy figure dislodged itself from the wall slowly it had its prey in sighs the bat like thing huled itself towards the woman who had come from the door. in an instant its hands long and boney clasped around her mouth and the other on her sholders. "A young soul....no matter" it spoke in a low hiss like voice. it slowly started to lower its lips to her neck slowly almost like a lover would to kiss, but this was no kiss of love and the creatures imbrace was strong unyealding. it ment to have her for it's lunch it was a creature that was know by humans as a vampire but unlike the fiction writen about it no two vampires looked the same way and they never looked like humans but the most unsettling thing was the food they craved was not something so replaceable as your blood they sucked our your soul. *** He stood there the well dressed man but something did feel right as the first few patrons walked out of the theater all chatting why had he come here again? he still couldent remember but it mus have been importaint as even now he felt an overwhelming desire to hang around this place. he forwned darkly. his name was Shi Kaishini only those who spoke japanese knew how unusal that name was for translated it ment number 4 soul 40. |

Ary drew in a sharp deep breath and let out a shrill cry before being silenced by her fear. What was this thing? They didn't exist... nothing like this existed... what it an escaped actor in a costume to scare her? Or was this real? Was it something to really try and escape? Ary pulled against him hard, but she couldn't break the cage of his arms. "Help..." she tried to say, but could barely muster a squeak.

Shi stood there looking dazed by the lights but then his ears picked up something he couldent figure out what. it sounded like someone trying to scream he looked around himself why was he the only one that heard these things. his feet moved before he even thought of it he was in the alley way quicker then a normal person as he skidded to a halt he saw the thing. so that was why he had been drawn here.
"...no..." he whispered softly as he looked at the woman in the things grasp. but it slowly let her go and looked at the man with a smirk. it started to walk towards him forgetting its other prey this was the motherload a Shinigami. he could smell its soul from where it stood.
"Shinigami...how lucky for me" it said licking it's lips. the man growled slightly and lunged at it sending a powerfull kick to its head. he had obviously had hand to hnad combat training by the way he use his body but it was to no avail the creatur just continued to smirk at him. "Come change for me then your soul will be extra sweet..." it hissed at him as it caught his punch then kick wrapping its feathered wings around the man.
"No!" he growled slamming his head into the things chest.
"Fine I will force you...." it spoke lightly and tigtened its grip on him the sound of bones breaking and shifting in his body was sickening even to himself. he felt every last shift and break then suddenly he felt his body give out. claws ripped the creature open his claws sharp his body had changed fully he looked like a large Kitsune a japanese fox demon his long eigth tails swishing behind it. it looked at the girl and licked it's lips. for in this state it was just as soul hungry as the creature it had ripped open.

Ary was relieved at first, but now, oh no- now she was just as scared as she had been before, her blue eyes wide with fear in this dark night. Suddenly, Ary felt a new wait and something strapped to her thighs. She unzipped her coat quickly and found, much to her surprise, two Desert Eagles- on strapped to each thigh. She smiled slightly, a relief flooding through her- bt where had they come from?
Honestly though, that didn't matter at the moment. She pulled them out and fired a shot from each at the giant kitsune, not knowing if it would do damage or not.

The Kitsune stumbbled backwards its hind leg haveing been shot by the guns it fell to the ground and slowly disolved into the form of the man who had jumpped to fight the thing. the man was out cold a gunshot in his thigh. his body completely limp.
"Ohh dear...I have never seen a tamer attack her pet like that the poor man." a voice said from abouve her on the roof of the building next to them. a figure dropped down tall and slender the man had spikey hair that seemed to defy gravity itself. he was in a white uniform with black strips on the sleave, "So this is were the False Shinigami ended up...Tamer-kun! I found him!" the man yelled out a young girl ran into the alley way from the oppisite end where the man had come. she was young and had a gient scyth on her back. her body was clothed like a lolita goth the frilly dress going to her knees and long black and white stockings on her legs with boots over them. she looked at the woman with a blink.
"Ohhh he found his tamer Kiwaii!!" she said her voice had a heavy japanese accent.

"Wha... what?" The formerly very normal broadway star asked in disbelief. "Tamer? What the hell? Tamer of what? My pet? He's not a pet... he's a monster.. and th... that thing that almost killed me... what the... what the fuck...?" the pretty brunette stared at the two newcomers, her face showing a look of complete and utter confusion.

"Umno...I suppose we should explain right O-kami? " the girl said lightly as she looked at the man who had shown up first he sighed and tended to the fallen man with light blond hair and unusal red eyes.
"False Shinigami-san over there is like O-kami-san...he is a Shinigami, it means Death God there race for centuries have sought out Tamers or humans who could keep there beasts under controll. A shinigami with out a Tamer is nearly as bad as that thing that attacked you..." she said as she looked at her. the man finished tending to the wound on the man and stood up looking at her.
"Since you are his tamer you also get his weapon, mine is the Scyth Tamer-chan has..." he said pointing to the huge scyth. "his seems to be those guns..." he said looking at them.
"Though poor guy to be shot by your own tamer what an insult to your pride" he was snickering as he said it.

"Hey don't blame me... he... it... it tried to fucking KILL me..." Ary knew she couldn't deny what she had seen, she knew this wasn't going away. "Okay... so let's say I AM his tamer... what does that mean? What do I have to do?"

"well you just have to keep him in check if he turns into the creatur...he would have listened to you if you had just told him to sit" O-kami said looking very amused at the whole thing. "Thats the power of a Tamer what they say the Shinigami must obey." he pulled the man to his feet and looked at the woman.
"But...if you dont want to take the job then were just going to have to put him down...you see a Shinigami with out a Tamer is uncontroable..." he looked more serious now as he looked at her. the girl nodded solomly.
"Hai...our mission was to watch him and if he didn't find a tame on his own we were to kill him...I dont want to hurt False Shinigami-sama if I dont have to....he wasn't born like other shinigami...but I have watched him for a long time and I dont want to see him hurt" she said softly as she looked at the man. he already knew what he was but he had never been told that he was to die on his 23 birthday if he hadent found a tamer.

"NO! You can't kill him. Look I'll take the job, but I can still keep my regular job right?" She asked, hoping her dream wouldn't get taken away from her after she had worked so hard to achieve it. "Had I known to tell him to sit, I would have... but I'm sorry I panicked... now what do these weapons mean? Am I supposed to do anything with them or just keep them?"

"yes your job is safe since he is not a redistared shinigami he will have no need to fight on a daily basis so his tranformation will be rare...hopefully" O-kami frowned as he ran a hand through his spikey hair. the girl looked at her and nodded then looked at the guns when she asked about them.
"Ohh!!! those are the physical manifestation of yours and False Shinigami-sama's bond as Tamer and Shinigami...they have the abblitie to damage the creature that attacked you there are more like it and those stickly speaking are to keep you safe." she said with a nod. O-kami smiled brightly.
"all Tamer's are normal humans before they become Tamers since they are normal they cant realy damage those things witch are what we call vampires...but those weapons can" he said with a nod.

Ary nodded as she finally put the guns back in their holsters and zipped her coat back up. Regardless of the news she was finding out, New York was still very very cold in the winter time. "So um... how long before he awakens? I really want to apologize and since he isn't exactly going out of my life anytime soon, I'd like to learn his name." Another though occurred to her just them. "And Me, now, am I still a normal human? Is there anything else that changes like aging, life span, whatever?"

O-Kami looked at the man on his sholder and sighed slightly. who knew how long it would take him to wake.
"Well I dont know...but we do need to get him inside somewhere...Shinigami's have a much faster rate of healing then humans but its not instantanious it will take a day or two for the gunshot wound to heal" he said as he looked at her he held up a hand suddenly and a portal appered just infront og them. it looked like a black hole silently standing there like a gaurd. the Tamer was the first to step through her footsteps light like the air itself.
"you should go first...it's your apartment after all..." O-kami said lightly. the man on his sholder was heavy as if he where made out of more then just flesh and bone. he adjusted the weight again as he watched her.

"Oh" she said simply in surprise. Ary stepped through the portal in a bit of a daze. This was all just so weird. She sighed as she appeared in her living room with the other tamer. "I suppose the couch is fine for him to lay.. I only have a one bedroom so yeah...." she said, looking around herself.

O-kami walked in after her as she talked while his tamer ran around the room looking at all the things there. he put the man on the couch he was very handsom and looked like the type who could get whatever he wanted yet even in his sleep his face was distorted into a small frown. O-kami then looked at Ary.
"Theres no telling how you'rs and his bond will be....you asked eilier if you were still a normal human as far as i know you are effected the same way all tamers are, but theres no way to be sure. A tamer and there shinigami are linked by a Life-bond if one dies so does the other...and since most shinigami live for hundreds of years most tamers live just as long, they dont age physicly only mentily" he said lightly as he looked at his tamer and opened a new portal infront of him. "Just take good care of him...when he wakes tell him you are his Tamer he will understand he was told everything on his thirteenth birthday" he smiled kindly at her and the called out his tamers name witch turned out to be Koume the two stepped through the portal.
"If you need us Tamer-chan just call out O-kami's real name Rinsuke" Koume said before she left fully. the portal closed as they left.

Ari sighed as she sank down onto her chair, across from the unconcious man. "I don't even know your name...." she said slightly sadly "And we are linked for the rest of our lives... I'll look this young forever... and you will always be with me... I wonder what that will be like... I guess I can still do my shows, with you in the audience or just backstage... I guess I can do that, wait a generation, audition again, whatever... well.. my name is Ary Remington... nice to meet you... even though we really haven't.." she didn't know why she was rambling to him, he was unconcious. It was not as if he could hear her. Ary sighed once more and ran her fingers through her hair, getting up to go to her room and change.
She soon returned in a simple pair of blue cotton shorts and pink cotton tank top. Ary would go to sleep soon, but she supposed once he woke up they'd have to work out sleep arrangments....

When she came back the man was sitting there on the couch his head hung low his arms resting on both knees when he heard her come in he looked up his crimson eyes so much like blood looked at her. he was handsom but he was frowning lightly he always frowned as if something was constantly trying to assert itself in his face.
"...Hello...Ary you said" he spoke quietly he had been lisenting to her as she had ranted but had not gotten up until a few moments ago his leg wqas sore she was the girl he had saved at least the monster hadn't killed her.

"Yeah thats my name... and I'm your tamer..." she said softly, wondering how he'd react. "Its good that you are awake... and I'm really sorry about the gun shot... I didn't know that I could just tell you to stop and you would... I thought I was gonna die." Ary said softly, with a small smile, her forest green eyes cautiously friendly. "Whats your name?"
