Thread: An Unlikely Duo (Kane25)

Misaki glanced over her should briefly to see a good number of the soldiers around Jericho being taken care of. She was still conflicted what to do really at this point. Most of all, she was feeling betrayed. The people she had worked and grown with over many years were suddenly trying to get rid of her, despite her work. And because of her abilities, she was seen as a threat. It was nothing more than a mere rumor started by the lower ranks, and now it had risen to such a ridiculous level. She had been loyal to the hunters' guild over the years and was still a hunter at heart, but she would not accept any sort of punishment without justification. On the other hand, her latest mission was not complete. All of her tasks assigned had been completed without fail, and this would be the first. Her sights were still on Jericho, but for the moment, they were fighting a common enemy. Her attention shifted to Alrede, who had already received his polearm. Despite the circumstances, it may have actually been a bad idea to come at him right now. In observing her, he would likely be one step ahead of Misaki in a fight. He'd probably be able to mimic her every move even. The best thing to do at this point was take out everyone else. And with the way things were looking, that wouldn't be much longer. If they weren't dead, they'd be beat up pretty bad with numerous broken bones. The last of the men with enchanted weapons were quickly disposed of, with a good handful of the others starting to retreat, along with Alrede, who did not look the least bit pleased. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. We had at least planned to silence you quickly. You can't expect any mercy now with the whole guild coming for you. Then again, she could just as easily head right back to Grand Central to get rid of them, but that would not really help anything. Letting them go would allow them time to recuperate for the next attack, along with spreading the news of her dismissal and betrayal. So she was set to be a villain either way. She said nothing in response to him, simply going to retrieve her katana from the man who confiscated it, now holding his stomach and writhing on the ground. Surely they'd have more come to at least tend to those still alive, so it'd be best to leave, but where to? With the men already heading back, Misaki started to turn back, her unique features disappearing and her pressure calming down to how it was before. Ha... A little sigh left her lips. It was almost as though her own pressure was weighing her down and all of it was lifted off her shoulders at that point. Of course, all was not well. In going against the guild, she made herself much like a criminal on the run, now a target to the guild. A demon huh...? I suppose they got their wish... It would be annoying to have to come across those same men later on. She sent a calm glare over to Jericho, who seemed to be finishing up on his end. As expected, they stood no chance. What to do about him was in question now. She was still planning on claiming his life, but recent events were making her think it over. The way he acted earlier probably wasn't because of her persistence. It was like something was on his mind beforehand. If she was still going to try and fight him, she'd at least get some answers first.
