[Kenshin Toric]

XX

Kenshin sat on the floor of the training room, waiting for his new orders to come. His breath was steady and his mind was a peace for once. Kenshin breathed down, his body perfectly relaxed and ready to move at a moment's notice. Kenshin had his orders to be here at one O'clock after lunch, and to wait till they got here. TO defend if necessarily and not kill. Kenshin opened his eyes, seeing the blind fold there. Oh yeah, he had to were a blind fold for some reason. Not like it did anything. Kenshin's eyes could see the little lines of clothes and use the tiny spaces between them to see. His eyes were way better then the average human.

Kenshin's attention went to a tiny sound as the lights went off. Kenshin looked around, not seeing anything through the blindfold now that the lights were off. Kenshin stood up silently and listened, not hearing anything and backed up to the wall. Best to have the wall at your back so no one could get there. Kenshin listened, no sound but..... a faint scruffling. a slight flap. and... Kenshin ducked, a blow that would have hit his head now connected with the wall. Kenshin Lashed out with a pointed jabbing hand, his fingers connecting with the Flesh of a man's stomach and hurting the organ inside. It would only bruise the muscle. Kenshin made his knees go back up and his fist came up, giving the man an upercut that sent him flying. Kenshin shook his hand, his inproved knuckled handling the force with ease. Kenshin bent and felt a weapon in the man's hand. A small metal pole. Kenshin took it and looked around with his other senses. He couldn't hear anyone else, but he wouldn't complete his mission unless he got them. That had to be that. A mission. A training excersise. He felt the Armor and the gun on the man's hip, most likely security for the rose. A training mission then. Kenshin flet the blind fold and smirked. He hoped they had enough men.

Kenshin walked away from the wall, His feet going over the fake floor and listening and feeling. Kenshin tilted his head, stopping and raised the pole in a defencive stance. Someone was here. He could feel it. Kenshin looked around, as if to see them. What he didn't see was five of the secerity team that was exposed to hurt him closing in front all around. All had similar weapons, not allowed to use there guns. One of the younger ones got cocky and ran up, swinging the pole with his night vision goggles on. They all had night vision goggles, so they all saw clearly when Kenshin grabbed the weapon and slapped his across the young man's face. the four saw the young guard crumble and kenshin pick up the other weapon the guard drop. now, they had caution in approaching him.

Kenshin had heard the young man running at him and felt the air parting where his weapon swung. Kenshin easily grabbed the small pole and knocked him out onto the ground. that was the easy part. THe intake of breath he heard from the other... four? five? other guards were the problem. They could be better and all attack at once, or silently sneak closer. Kenshin waited, his eyes close under the blindfold as he listened and waited, feeling for anything. Kenshin felt the slightess bit of wind shift near his left arm and Lashed out, Hitting soft flesh and heard bone creak. Kenshin smirked, knowing that arm would break and heard the slight hop of another guard. Kenshin Turned, throwing the pole in his right hand and nailed another guard in the family jewels. He screamed, falling as Kenshin stole the broken armed guards Weapons and Blocked a strike from behind him as guard number three attacked. Kenshin brought a knee up hard into his groin, hearing a high pitched yelp and then smacked down with a flat palm to his neck, knocking him out. Kenshin let him fall, snatching his weapon after a second of fumbling and listend, but then heard someone clapping."Subject kenshin, you can take your blind fold off now." Kenshin reconized the voice as one of the camanders and took his blind fold off to see the lights on now, and three sceintist watching his as a leader in secerity watched him, looking at the other guards as well. Kenshin stood at attention, waiting for orders as the scientists talked about his proformence. From what he could hear, he did better then expected. Kenshin felt some pride blossom in his chest but pushed it away for latter." Private kenshin, good job. You are dismissed," Kenshin hear one say and He saluted with a quick," Sir," and dropped his arm, walking away from the corner of the training room. He still had the two poles in his hand, and decided to keep them. A reminder. AS well as the blind fold. Kenshin slide the blind fold to around his neck, the positioned it so it was more like a bandana around his neck. He sort of liked that. Kenshin smirked, glad for a job well done and headed back to the paint ball guns, wnating to get some practice in before Kala showed up.

[Axel Morose]

Axel and Momo were training together again. He had thrown Momo a sniper gun earlier, ti was customized to only shoot paint balls like the rest of the weapons in here. He stuck with his hand guns which some would say he favored a bit too much. She hit every single target that looked like a man in the heart, and he shot them all in the forehead. After a bit Momo set down her gun, looking to see what Axel was doing. He had been shooting one after another of the targets. They both knew their comrade was being assessed by the scientists. Momo didn't really like gun practice that much. She was a bigger fan of moving targets...

It wasn't that she liked chasing things around like a sadistic psycho. It was that the whispers were always bothering her. She always needed something, anything at all, to distract her from the voices. Standing and firing a gun was just not enough, she needed to run around, and focus. Axel liked target practice though. He enjoyed standing there and just blowing the heads off of everything he hated. Guys seemed to have simple needs... Blow stuff up, and they were all good. Well that was how Momo sort of looked at things most of the time, something that Baylee had actually told her. The memory made the short goth girl smile.

Walking over in her usual black outfit she could see that Axel was firing off round after round. Every paintball deadly accurate. The white haired man totally ignored the fact that she was watching, he just shot target head after target head. When he finally ran out of ammo he pulled off his ear muffs. Looking at Momo, a blank expression on his face. She pulled off her ear muffs as well. "Nice job." She said with a smile on her face, she gently tapped her one dangling earring and sent it spinning. It was just a strange dream catcher earring. Nothing too special, it had black and white as the colors.

Axel looked over at Momo's scores, all of them were almost as good as his own. He nodded, "You too..." He then set down his hand guns, and took her sniper rifle. "We are trading so you get some practice with hand guns." He said, and she picked up his guns. They both walked over to where the paint ball ammo was kept. They were just in the shooting range area, in a different area of the paintball shooting was an area where test subjects ran around a practice field and shot paint-balls at each other. The training field where the other test subjects were shooting at each other and chasing each other around was a virtual room that could change its appearance with halo grams and that sort of thing.

They were both filling up their ammo. It was a little strange to see them together, even though they ended up being in the same place at the same time almost all of the time. Momo was a whole foot and one inch shorter then Axel. She was wearing a black long sleeved shirt, covering the scars on her arms, and a black skirt. under that skirt she wore a fishnet pair of leggings. She wore black, and it sucked the color from her already pale skin. Her long brown hair and soft chocolate eyes and her strange single earring was very different from tall Axel. He was very tall, and his icy blue eyes, snow white hair, and semi-casual/semi-dressed up style didn't seem to belong next to the little goth b his side. They were a strange pair...

Momo started, "Ya think ---..." she said, and was then interrupted by Axel. "Yeah, he will probably be in here soon." Momo nodded at Axel's answer to her question. It was so weird how he always seemed to know the answer to her question before she even finished asking. Axel seemed so focused right now, so mature, a little intimidating. Momo was semi-comfortable with him like this. She at least knew she would be safe around him... It was just that it was nicer when he was focused on stealing her carrots then it was when he was focused on blowing off the targets' heads.

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin walked through the feild, almost at the gun range up stopped. Kenshin looked at the small fake tree that was between his designation and where he was and got an idea. More like he wanted to test something. kenshin grabbed a large iron ball in each of his sleeves and attached them to a long wind of clothe in the sleeves of his jacket. Kenshin let them go, the balls trailing the clothe/rope out and he grabbed the rope. Kenshin felt the momentum of the iron balls at the end as he swung them around and around, both of them going faster and faster and he lashed out, his right weapons hitting a branch and knocking all the leaves off. Kenshin gave a yank, a small machine in his jacket pulling the rope in and letting it go. It was finger activated so kenshin could easily control it. Kenshin Kept his Bombardment going on the fake tree for a good three minutes, till every leave had fallen. Kenshin touched the control at the end of each sleeve and the rope zipped back up. Kenshin smirked. He was going to like this.

Kenshin walked again, leaving the husk of plastic tree behind him as he heard firing. He was guessing that others were there. Kenshin stepped onto the gun range, allowing the iron balls to fall about a foot from his arms and hang there. He got a little nervous around here. He hated the fact that any stupid sniper could have him in his sights and end him before he could realize it. Kenshin looked around, listening and heard axel's voice saying here soon. Kenshin walked to where that sound originated, knowing where his teammates were now. Kenshin touched the pad and the rope zipped back up into his jacket. He only needed that little motor when he was wearing the jacket or in civilian clothes. With out ether, he was fine with the old fashion way.

Kenshin walked out of the training feild, not a spot of paint on him as he spotted Momo and Axel. he liked these two for some reason. Maybe because Momo was so innocent and axel so..... powerful? intimidating? no. It was he seemed to know the situation and seemed to accept it. Kenshin respected that. Kenshin smirked, walking up behained them and tapped both of there shoulders, slipping around axel's other side which momo was not, grabbing a rifle AK-47 one. It was a cheep imitation, but he didn't mind it. He wouldn't have allowed the test subject real guns ether in there shoes."Hello Axel. Momo," Kenshin said, nodding to them then walked back over the the shooting range. No way was he going into the feild. He did not feel like getting sniped. He always managed to get sniped.

Kenshin looked at the targets, then got on one knee and aimed, then fired. It wasn't a grade A proformence. It was more of B- C+ thing. His shots at first were wilds, but then more focused, and accurate. Kenshin felt the rifle with moer of a grib then needed, and used his shoulder to brace against the kick. Kenshin was rather tense as he held the rifle as his bullets hit the ear of a dummy, then the shin and shoulder. Kenshin stopped, breathing out anf forcing himself to relax and this time took time to line his shoots up, hitting dead on. He was a horrible shot when it came to fast firing, but slower less timly shots he was good at."Call me a fracen sniper," He said, smirking. Kenshin aimed down the scope, taking in the fake breeze, wheight of the bullet and then the air resistance and distance. Kenshin aimed, blinking and fired. The bullet traveled through the air and hit the target in the leg. Kenshin cursed, knowing he aimed to low.

[Momo Sato]

Momo jumped as she felt a small pressure touch her shoulder. Immediately her mind flew to thoughts of the hidden scar there. just below her black clothing, a long, light scar ran from her collar to the edge of her shoulder. It only brought back distant, depressing memories. She then heard Kenshin's voice and it brought her back to the present like a splash of cold water in the face. Axel didn't even react to it really. He had heard the slight sound of foot steps... Could smell the purified human blood in Kenshin's body. It just made Axel angry to have to think that his body could pick up on small things like that. Momo turned her head, smiling, despite her little flashback. "Hey ya, Kenshin. "

Axel and Momo finished up loading more ammo. When they approached the targets again they watched Kenshin's performance. It seemed like he needed to lots of time to focus and aim. Otherwise it wasn't really all that great. Axel had plenty of practice shooting stuff, and was very good. He stepped over to the next area after watching Ken for a little while and then started sniping down targets one after another. Momo hesitated for a little bit, watching Ken. Then she took her petite little self over to a shooting area and started taking down targets with Axel's favorite guns.

Both Axel and Momo were very good shots. They were not show offs though. Well actually, Axel could be a show off every once in a while. Momo found the way he could spin the hand guns around very cool. She wondered though how many time he had shot himself with a paintball trying to do it. Axel seemed to cool to do something that silly though, he had most likely had it on safety when he practiced. Momo thought pretty highly of her mentor/partner Axel.

Momo smirked as she heard Kenshin's sniper comment. Setting down her/ Axel's guns. She walked over to where Kenshin was, seeing his blunder. "We should take a break, don't you think?" She said. Axel had stopped shooting when he heard Momo's firing stop. He set the sniper gun to safety and walked over to see what they were up to. He overheard Momo's comment about taking a break. "Slacking again?" He said, a smirk on his face. Momo's face turned pink. "N-no!" she said, talking at normal volume for once. Axel continued to smirk, "you better not. If I catch you there will be trouble, but we should go and see Kyo." He said. Momo nodded, her face going back to its usual pale. She looked at Kenshin.

Momo couldn't help smiling and feeling more relaxed now. She had grown accustomed to Kenshin already, even though they had only just become members of a team. Momo was shy at first, but she warmed up pretty easy, if you were nice. She was still pretty thankful to him for getting her the chicken she wanted at lunch. Momo was sort of one of those girls you could win over through her stomach. Secretly anyway... Axel and Kenshin were both tall, and when she stood anywhere near them she looked like a midget. Curses to being so short...

Axel's mind was not going to appearances and height and such. He was wondering what Kyo was up to. He disliked seeing his king all locked up. Axel worshiped Kyo in a way... It was a little weird to those who saw it for the first time. Axel even held grudges against people who disrespected Kyo. Momo didn't worship Kyo like Axel did. She really liked Kyo though, the vampire king was a nice guy... Sort of.

Kenshin aimed down the scope, wanting to take the iron ball out of his sleeve and just bean the dummy. That would work a lot better then this. Kenshin pulled the triger, seeing the bullet/ball sail past the dummy's head and frowned, an eculvilant of him giving a cry of frustration. Kenshin looked up as Axel and Momo suggected to go see axel, and Kenshin stood up saying," Sure." Anything to get away from this blasted aiming field.

Kenshin stopped, hanging back as Axel and Momo went ahead and Looked at the target he had been shooting at, and grabbed the knife in his sleeve, attaching it to the iron bacll and let it fall, granning the clothe/wire/ chain and swung it around and around his right side, and then let it fly. Kenshin saw it travle through the air, making a graceful arch and inpale itself into the eye of the target. Kenshin smiled, giving and yank as it traveled back and Kenshin touched the pad on his jacket, the clothe zipping back into his sleeve.

Kenshined, now feeling beter that the target dummy has a hole in it;s eyes, picked up the fake gun and walked back to the weapon wall, putting it back, glad to be rid of it. He disliked guns. Took all skill from hand to hand combat away. OK, kenshin would admit it took skill to be a good marksman, but a pistol in a close up fight took the skill out of it. That is what he hated out of it. Kenshin looked at axel, then around and asked," Um, where are we going?" for kenshin, it was pretty darn human. Out of the three of them, even though kenshin was the most human in the place, he acted the least like it.

[Momo Sato]

Momo watched Ken for a bit, and then wen back, picked up Axel's favorite guns and put them away. Axel did pretty much the same only he put away Momo's sniper gun instead. when they returned to where Kenshin was he had made a mark on the target finally... Momo smiled, and then she looked at Axel as they were asked where they were going. Axel spoke up calmly. "The King's chamber is on Level 1." He said, and then lead the way. Not pausing to see if they were coming. There was no doubt in his mind that Momo was trailing him, but he wasn't going to force Kenshin to come. Although he was sure that the other male wouldn't just skip this one out. So in all ways he was positive they would be following. Momo trailed him a grin on her face, she looked over her shoulder at Kenshin. "C'mon." She said just below average noise level...

The hallways were all so blindingly white. The artificial lights were a bit annoying to their enhanced vision that was meant for the night, like a vampire's. the two test subjects knew exactly where they were going. It wasn't a long walk at all. The just took one turn, took the stairs, and another turn at the top. Axel stopped just outside the door of Kyo's cell. The wall was not see through, but on the other side of it, was a space and then Kyo's cell. On the other side was Axel's savior.

Momo paused outside as Axel did. She looked to see that both her partners were here. "What are we waiting for?" She said quietly, and then stepped around Axel to open the door gently and enter. Axel looked at Kenshin and then followed Momo.

---

Kyo was so very bored... It wasn't like he had much to do in here. Maybe he would ask someone to get him a book? Did these silly youth read books still? Or was that a thousand years ago? The king of vampires was much older then he looked. Over a millennium and a half. Although... He was young for a pure blood. This was all such a waste of time. The humans and their petty wars were all so annoying. Interesting to study though. He was a fan of their mythology, it was funny to think that they could only believe that vampires and werewolves and that sort were all just fake. Bed time stories to keep children from wandering off...

Interrupted from his troubling boredom he smiled. A familiar face, he sat up on the couch. turning to the short girl in front of him, behind the wall that separated him from the world. It was annoying for him, the world's greatest vampire, to be stopped by a see through wall and a lack of blood. If it weren't for being kept weak like this he would have escaped long ago... His alluring red eyes glowed as he looked over the test subject girl in front of him. Momo curtsied, and Kyo smiled. "Hello my dear. Has Axel rubbed off on you so much already?" He said calmly, in a very conversational note. He didn't seem crazy, or upset at all. He was very functional, and had complete self control. It was pretty amazing...

The composed king remained seating as Momo smiled. He looked to the door as Axel entered the room. Axel stepped forward and placed a hand over his heart, bowing to the king. Kyo always smiled when Axel did this. The younglings in front of him were always so polite, it was a bit weird. They should be normal teenagers, running around and causing havoc. Instead they were cooped up in here like himself, and forced to be something they were not meant to be. He was born to be king, not a prisoner.

Axel stood up straight, and Momo grinned at the king, slightly pink in the face. The king had gone and called her "dear" again. she had noticed he was a polite flirt at times. "He is a good teacher." she answered, and Axel rolled his eyes. Kyo smiled, "that he is." He then looked at the door, "who is the third wheel?" asked the king. Momo looked back at where Ken was. "Oh. That is Kenshin! He is going to be part of our group!" The girl smiled, and was talking at normal volume now. She really liked Kyo, and with two people she knew well in the room she could show her true colors more brightly. Axel leaned against the wall, a faint smile on his lips. Momo flicked one of her dangling earrings and sent it spinning and swinging.

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin followed behind Momo and axel, wondering what the king guy was like. Things like this was what he always imagined before the experimentation. Kenshin's mind wondered there, his life before it but his thoughts refuse to focus. Kenshin scratched the back of his head, his nails not touching the scar back there. It always got cloudy in his head when he did for some reason.

Kenshin pulled the blindfold over his eyes as they walked down the hallway. He would have just gotten a head ache otherwise, and since it was bright, he could see through the clothe easily. Kenshin followed the pair through the stairwells and through other hallways. Kenshin looked quiet awkward with the blindfold on, but seeing as he didn't run into anyone, it was fine.

Kenshin stopped outside the door with the other two, looking and sniffed. The vampire scent was strong here. Kenshin didn't know what it was, but he was feeling a powerful aura. old and wise. Well, old and powerful at least. he would decide on wise later. Kenshin watched as Axel and Momo went in and he followed, going in afterwords.

AS Axel was coming up from his own bow, Kenshin have put his fist in his left hand in front of his and gave a fifty degrees bow. Kenshin looked up as He was mentioned and said," It is good to meet you sir." It sort of was. The vampire king was polite and nice despite being chained to the wall. And he seemed to like Axel and Momo, so he was fine. Kenshin was already kind of close to axel and Momo, so he was fine as long as his team mates were.

kenshin looked at the vampire, curious now. He looked like a thirty year old in a prisoner's garb. All but his eyes. Those eyes that looked like they would look into your soul. Peircing, but gentle. Kenshin walked forward, more curious as placed a hand on the glass wall in front of them, wondering what it would be like. Kenshin felt his mind starting to drift, but forced himself to focus. Kenshin looked at the man's arms, seeing the needle marks and got that they drained him. That was wrong. Kenshin looked back up at his eyes, wondering what this would mean in the future. It made one think. how old was this vampire? What had he seen in all his years?

[Momo Sato]

Kyo was an attractive young man in appearance. But he was very old, older then most monsters, but young for his particular breed. In a way anyways... His father was probably approaching nineteen thousand years by now... The Kiri family had ruled over vampires for over two thousand years, but there had only ever been two different kings. The man smirked at the second bow he got that day. He had a charismatic smile, and his voice was sweet. His words were a bit arrogant, but he had to do something to still feel important as king of vampires...

"Hello Kenshin, I am Kyo Kiri." He said looking directly at the boy. Kyo's eyes glowed red, and he picked up a delicious scent in the room. His expression did not change at all though. Kyo looked perfectly composed. "Momo and Axel both share my DNA as Group V subjects, in what group are you?" He asked looking at Kellen, his gaze unwavering. The red glow in them was something that could draw you in, hypnotize you. Before they got him so drained of energy, he could easily mind control others. The best he could do now, from behind these bars, was read minds. He didn't do it to strangers usually, for privacy's sake. However it was rather amusing to see Axel's fantasies of beating up random others who annoyed him. Kyo found Momo's head a bit too noisy for his own taste... However she her mind was nice to lurk around in as well... It beat sitting here alone in this white cell forever...

Momo glanced at Axel leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face. She turned her head and focused on Kyo again, smiling still. Secretly... She had a crush on the vampire king. Of course Kyo knew this, he could read minds after all... She grinned at him, giving a moment for Kenshin to finish before speaking to Kyo. "How was your lunch?" she asked, not having anything better to talk about really. Kyo smiled at her, "Awful without you here." He said, obviously joking. Momo turned pink, "oh... sorry!" She said, not processing that as a joke for some reason. Kyo continued smirking, taking pleasure out of flustering the little girl's feathers. Axel for some reason was a bit annoyed by this exchange of words, but quickly squashed any annoyance he had towards the two. He had no reason to be annoyed over that... What was there to be annoyed about?

Axel spoke up after that, "We have a mission tomorrow so we may not stop by until it gets a bit late." Momo turned and looked back at her mentor/partner. He was always pretty serious, and she always wanted to let him relax a bit more. However he just didn't budge... Momo nodded, and then looked at Kyo. Wondering if he had some interesting story about a time long before they were born. She loved Kyo's stories, it was much more interesting to hear about history when you could meet a person who was really there. Kyo had been around so long he always ended up looking at humans and such as just children. The younglings, he often called them.

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin tilted his head, thinking that he should not tell this man what he was for a second, but pushed that thought away."I'm an H class Sir. The first H class. Think of me as an enhanced human, all weakness burned away." As well all humanity. Hell, Kyo acted more human then Kenshin did right now. Kenshin didn't relax his solder stance as he watched Kyo.

His eyes went over the vampire as He held his arm behind his back now. He was standing in front of a man that was way older then him by far. that disturbed him for some reason. Maybe the fact that If he wasn't weakened, he could easily kill him. Kenshin didn't like that feeling at all. kenshin gave an invollentary shiver, a small sign of proof that not all humanity had burned away from him. Kenshin Felt his mind cloud a little and he drifted away from those thoughts, the fear going away. Kenshin;s head had a habit of doing that. A little to much.

Kenshin looked on as the exchange happened between Momo and the king, and smirked. It was small and barley noticeable, but still yet another proof that not all humanity was gone. Kenshin couldn;t help it. Momo and Axel brought it out of him, despite the scientist best efforts. Kenshin looked at her as the blush spread across her face, but caught the change in axel's face. Why would he be annoyed by Kyo saying that? Kenshin wondered what was going on between his two teammates? was it something against the rose? would he have to fight them? Kenshin noticed axel's eyes shift, his own posture not moving the smallest bit as he did notice it and calmed down. "ahh, so that is how it is," Kenshin thought, the smirk still on his face as he flashed Axel a knowing look.

Kenshin looked in and interest at the mention of a mission. Now, that was interesting. He wanted to go out and do something. he HATED cages. He needed to stretch his wings. Kenshin leaned against the far wall, his left foot up and against the wall as his weight went to his back and right leg. Kenshin looked at axel, wondering what the mission would be. It should be interesting though. If it wasn't, He would be pissed. If he could get angry.

kenshin looked back at the king, another shiver going up his spine and he grabbed the iron ball in his sleeve for comfort. Something about those eyes made him feel like the prey. It freaked him out. he hoped that H class tasted like crap, but he had the suspision that H class tasted like chicken. the good kind. Kenshin poushed away those thoughts, another shiver of humanity going up his spine as HIs eyes went steely. It was his humanity being pushed away for the "greater purpose" or some crap like that the rose programmed into him.

[Miss.Oreo]

Kyo noticed the shivers from Kenshin's body. It made him smirk, to see weaklings tremble before his greatness. It was always fun to know you were the best. That even in your weakened state you were bad @zz enough to be able to send shivers down the spines of "warriors". These test subjects were all just children though. Nothing special. Just another sad attempt humanity had made to try and grasp power. The humans did not understand that some powers were just too great for them to be able to control. Kyo remembered many things about the fights for power among vampires. That war between purebloods was the very reason he was the strongest...

When a vampire feeds off another vampire, they also gain some of the victim's vampire powers. His lineage, the Kiri family, had been the strongest of the families. They hadn't gone out in search for fights, but they had never backed down. Many came to try and defeat the powerful Kiri family, but they could not be defeated. They sucked their attackers dry, and the power they gained had been condensed and handed down to him. His blood contained the screams of exs, nobles, and pure bloods alike with in it. Even though Kyo hadn't participated in the war... If any other vampire got a taste of his blod, they would be partaking in the sweetest of all vampire bloods, but they would also get a mind numbing shot of the pain, regret, and rage of his father's victims... Kyo, in the past, had in fact tasted his own blood. It was indescribable how good it tasted, but the negative feelings wrapped up in it were enough to give you a mental breakdown...

The King nodded at the boy's answer. A new group of test subjects? How wonderful, more kinds of experiments would be causing pitter-patter in the world. After a short exchange of words with the two test subjects he was familiar with he nodded. Understanding they were busy with their work. "That is fine." Axel had caught the look of understanding he got from Kenshin, and really didn't understand what Kenshin was understanding... What exactly did Kenshin think was going on? Well... Axel glanced at Momo and then at Kyo again. He didn't get it at all. There was nothing going on between himself and Momo. So what was Kenshin thinking?

Momo smiled, unconsciously wrapping her arms around herself in that way she always did. "Anything interesting?" She asked, as if he were up to stuff while locked away in this dreary white cell. Kyo found the question a bit stupid, but Momo was... Well she was a simple being in his won opinion. She was also quite strong, he had seen glimpses of her past run through her mind. Certainly, she was only trying to be polite and conversational. From what Kyo could see the two males in the room were fairly quiet.

"Well... the dust is collecting." he said, smirking. Momo smiled, noticing his joke. So in that case nothing new. It was just as boring as ever. She remembered her first days here as a blur. There were the angels, the lost souls, the whispers, the pearly whiteness of heaven. It had been beautiful, but sort of sad. She never expected heaven to be sad. Well Axel informed her first, that she was not dead, that this place was not heaven and that she still needed to do something. Momo's soul purpose was to protect Baylee now. All that brainwashing had created the idea in her head, the concrete fact in her mind, that if she was to ever fail here that Baylee would die. That wasn't happening.

Axel spoke up, finally. "That Ashe girl didn't come here again did she? " He said, a slight growl in his words, as his eyes began glowing red. Momo looked back at him, a questioning look on her face. She had no idea what he was talking about. Kyo smirked, "Really Axel? Are you still angry about that?" The way Axel looked at the moment seemed to say of course I'm still mad. Momo had no idea what they were talking about still. "You should learn to let things go... She didn't sit in my audience while you were away though." Kyo said, watching as Axel relaxed a little. However Axel's eyes still glowed smoldering red. It was a contrast to the way Kyo's eyes glowed red so naturally, in a way that pulled you in while looking through every mask.

Momo was so confused... What were they talking about? Ashe... It sounded familiar. Another test subject girl? Why was Axel so against her coming here? "What did Ashe do?" she said quietly. Axel looked at Momo, the harsh anger for the name Ashe in his eyes still. "She has done enough." He replied and then slumped into the wall. That looked like the best answer she was getting from him. Kyo smirked, lightly shaking his head at Axel's answer. "Ashe was a bit disrespectful, and Mr.Morose... Well he was being Axel." Kyo smiled, and Momo laughed, looking at Axel who just kept the angry look on his face. Momo smiled at him, "Well at least he is being himself." She said, winking at him before looking over at Kenshin with a smile on her face. Wondering what he thought of all this.

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin smirked very so small at the dust comment. he wouldn't like being trapped in a room like that. Course, his room never got dust. The squirrels kept it all away. He loved those little rodents. Fluffy and so cute looking. If anyone looked at his life, they would say his unnatural liking of squirrel was the most human thing about him."Wonder if Fredrick and Lyra are getting along," He thought, thinking of two of his favorites.

Kenshin's ears picked up yet again at the mention of an ashe person. Who was that? now, Kenshin had been operational for about two months, but the scientist were all about keeping him alive and what not, so they kept him in secret rooms and other things, training privatly and what not to see if he worked. Till today, he didn't know anyone. now he found his sister was well, And he had a team. besides peter and some scientists, The only ones he knew around here were Kala, axel, momo, and Kyo. and only those last four were close to him. Everyone else was Business, and his superiors.

Kenshin let the chain fall from his sleeve, forgetting the dagger was still on the end. Kenshin swung it around, letting it circle in bordom as the argument went on, smirking again for a second at the Mr. mourse comment about his captain. Kenshin stopped paying attention to the chain as it spun, more absorbed in the talking.

His eyes titled as he caught Momo's gave, and He almost flinched. Such warmth, such..... humanity, it was almost to much to take it. So much life and innocence in those eyes. Kenshin felt the chain slip and He gasped as His other arm, right at the wrist, Slit open from the dagger getting loose. Kenshin touched the pad on the jacket and The chain/cloth zipped back into his jacket, taking the knife as he applied pressre to the wound. It wasn't that bad, but He felt some fear. Bleeding in a room full of vampires. Not the best situation.

[Miss.Oreo]

Kyo's eyes went a shade of red brighter as the human boy cut his wrist. The king vampire kept his composure though. He knew better then to bite humans. He didn't want to babysit any exs. He was behind a glass wall anyway. Axel bit is lip as the sharp smell of blood filled his nostril. His fangs immediately grew. Kyo could see that Axel was feeling the effects of the metallic smell. Momo turned wide eyed at Kenshin. Looking at his wound. She had no thirst for blood but her eyes flashed red as they caught sight of the blood. She immediately went to his side. "Oh no. We should get you to the nurse." She said fretting over her new partner's wound.

Axel couldn't take the scent. The monster inside him was as thirsty as ever. It was begging to get out of him. To feed on the human before him. There was no other thought besides that coming from his instincts. His human instincts would have told him to do something, to help his comrade. But those were overpowered by the monstrous thoughts of drinking blood. It sickened Axel. He felt so disgusted...
Axel kicked the wall and walked out. He couldn't be in here.

Momo looked up at Axel's exit. There was a little bit of sadness in her eyes as she watched him storm of. She looked back at Kyo, "Sorry." She said so quietly it was almost like she was mouthing it. Kyo looked at her and nodded, then lay down on the couch staring at the ceiling. This was about as much action he had had in a while. Unfortunately it wasn't the type of action he had hoped for. Momo quickly returned her attention to Kenshin. "Does it hurt?" She asked, putting her hands over his to help hold pressure. It was another silly question, but she was just sort of calmly freaking out at the moment.

Outside Axel was trying to calm himself down. Calm the beast. Stop the hunger... He couldn't loose it over something so small. The blood had smelled so good though. It had been the strongest wave of hunger he had in a long time. He took deep breaths and stared into the blank nothingness called a white wall. His glowing red eyes were absolutely on fire. Inside Momo found the good sense to try to leave so the smell wouldn't bother Kyo. "C'mon Kenshin we should go... Good bye Kyo-sama!" she said before quickly rushing Kenshin out. Still trying to help him with his wound. Axel looked at them as they left the room and entered the hallway where he was...

Axel looked Momo in the eye. Took one final deep breath and attempted to take as little breathing as he could until the blood scent was at least a bit dampened by a bandage of some sort. He looked at Momo and could almost imagine the way the blood rushed through her veins. He could hear the beating of her heart, and then he looked at Kenshin, and got much the same response. He was a monster... He hated himself... Momo pretty much ignored Axel as he looked away, at anything but the center of his desire to consume blood. "Okay, we need to get to the nurse..." She said, the obvious fact before everyone in her words. It was hard to think though... Her head was buzzing with whispers...

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin put a hand over the wound, refusing to let Momo pull his hand off it. He had to hid that mark. The marks on his arms. He didn't know why, but then he had a promise to kala. He had to keep it.

"I barely feel it. I am sorry kyo-kun," Kenshin said, leaving. He had a feeling that he should be offering to bleed himself into a cup for the vamp to drink it, but he had a bad feeling about that. A very bad feeling.

Kenshin held his wrist as he walked out with momo, and stopped, looking at axel as the door closed behind them. He ignored Momo for a second, looking at axel. He saw how He looked at Momo and him. He new that look. Kala looked at him like that before. It scared him, But he knew about the beast. He felt it's fangs before.

Kenshin held out his arm, saying," GO ahead." Kenshin pulled back his sleeve to reveal teeth marks. His sister's teeth marks. He knew what it felt like to be feed on. he snuck into the infermery when she was healing, and She had that crazied look in her eyes. He pulled his sleeves back then, letting her drink from him. he would do anything for his sister, and like it or not, He felt like he should do the same for his team mates."She was dieing, so I let her feed," Kenshin said to the bite marks, Who should be obvious."I know you can stop it before it is to late." The way he said it, the honest to gods belief would inspire anyone. If his unwavering eyes showed her believed it with his whole heart.

[Axel Morose]

Axel couldn't help but notice everything the Kenshin did. The way he was offering himself up. It was disturbing... Was it really that clear that he had become something so... awful. That he needed to be pitied and fed like a stray mutt? This is NOT what he wanted, he craved it though. Axel looked Kenshin in the eye. "Don't pity a monster who craves nothing more then drinking the very liquid that keeps you alive. If i start drinking human blood now, when will I stop?" He then turned around and faced the wall. he was so angry now, it was like lava exploding from his heart.

Momo looked wide eyed at Axel as he explaiened himself. then she saw him turn around, and she noticed him going for something in his pocket. Momo gasped, realizing he was doing something stupid and in a flash she was away from Kenshin and by Axel's side. She pulled him away from the wall and turned him around to face her and then punched him in the face. It was all so breathtakingly fast. It was amazing that this tiny girl had the strength and speed to do this. Axel's jaw made a not so pleasant noise and he was forced to take a step back from it.

Axel looked at Momo in shock. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" He asked. Momo had determination written all over her face though. "Your an idiot you know that? Your not human so stop holdiong yourself up to those damn standards! Don't you get that your a monster just like everyone else here? WERE MONSTERS! GET OVER IT! I'm not letting you punish yourself for being what you are. But I will... I swear if you try to hurt yourself again I sear I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" Momo for once was using normal voice volume. Axel looked like he was pretty shocked for about five seconds then he stepped forward and grabbed her by the wrists.

Momo pulled away a little avoiding his eyes, but he tugged on her and she looked him in the eye. The fire was gone from her eyes, it had only lasted long enough to give him a piece of her mind. Axel looked surprisingly calm but his eyes were glowing bright red. His eyes were like flames burning at the very edges of her mind. The whispers in her head never seemed so tiny compared to something as insignificant as this little gesture. "You..." Axel started... But then he was at a complete loss for words. Momo and Axel were definitely going to need to talk later. He let go of her and pushed her away gently at the same time. "Take Kenshin to the nurse... I need to think." He said and started to walk away. Momo quickly grabbed his hand and wrenched him back. "No. your coming with us." She was whispering again, but Axel just sighed and looked at Kenshin. "Fine, if it comforts you I'll go too." He then brushed Momo off and took the lead towards the nurse. Momo stared at his back and then looked at Kenshin. She turned pink as a cherry blossom realizing he saw all that, and then tried to change the subject to nurses and wounds.

Glancing at the scar she realized something... She needed to decided when or if she was even going to talk to Kenshin about her only little scars... If they became good friends would she end up sharing that piece of her past? Or was it better to just try to forget everything about her past except Bailey? It was a real academy, but dang, high school never ends...

[Kenshin Toric]

Kenshin watched as Axel refused, and he lowered his arm. He didn't care anymore. Kenshin grabbed his cut with his other hand and put the sides of the cut together, and Closed his eyes as momo and Axel argued. Kenshin left the world for a moment, only aware of the cut on his arm and his breathing. He could feel the life blood leaving his arm now and the cells of the skin, and stopped it. He made the plactic cells clot the wound, and the bleeding stopped, and The skin started to mend, and in a half a minute was better. Kenshin Blinked, clenching and un-clenching his hand and felt the veins and arteries healed now. he looked at his partners, his stomach growling again and a need to use the bathroom.

Kenshin noticed that axel let go of momo and slightly pushed her away. Now, kenshin could see that he missed something in his healing, but was getting the jest of it. Momo saying axel should get off his high horse, axel angry at that, yadi yada. Kenshin smirked, thinking," Lovers spat." kenshin let the smallist of smirks touch his face. It was refreshing. He desided right then he liked these two. They made him feel....... human. He liked that.

Kenshin riased an eyebrow and started to walk away from them. He walked into a private room, knowing they would be curious for a minute but then the sound of water hitting floor was heard and kenshin's going his business was obvious to all. Kenshin didn't care that he broke into some one's room and used there bathroom. he needed to go.

A minute later, hands washed, kenshin walked out and gave them both a look of confusion, and held up his wrist showing unmarked skin."I'm hungry," He said, turning and walking to the caferteria. He was thinking pork sandwich. About 5 of them. And watermelon. Lots of it. Kenshin turned around, looking at them with his jacket hanging open to reveal the netted muscular chest."Coming?" kenshin asked, the turned and started walking.

Kenshin followed his nose up, the smell of food driving him and he found himself at the source. Kenshin walked up the isle and piling his tray with a three pork sandwiches, two things of water, and then went to where axel and momo were standing. At there looks, kenshin said," My motabolism is sky rocketed since being experimented on, and i can heal myself, but i get really really hungry. Want a fry?" kenshin offered, taking a small bite from a sandwich. He was hungry. Course, he could kill himself with his gifts. Or tools. powers. curse. whatev.
