"Funny... I met him recently... A ghost, perhaps, but..." Leon said.

"I'll be your Hero..."
Evil froze and her heart beat quicked. What? Alive? There was no way....no way at all....her whole body shuddered. No...no...he couldn't be alive! Evil whimpered as fear pulsed through her body. Her need to protect Yuuma suddenly sky rocketed. She narrowed her eyes hatefully, why tell her this? It was something she didn't want to know! With a sigh, her hand moved to her throat. She remembered the final moments....he had her throat...he was about to kill her...and then Good had removed his head.
"...but only if you save me."

"If you didn't know, he could ambush you easier. It's always good to be on guard," Leon said.

"I'll be your Hero..."
Evil sighed..there was no peace....never would there be for her. She stared at Yuuma with concern and frowned. Her son was at risk right now....she couldn't let that bastard take him again. No way....he couldn't steal her son away again! Evil's soft eyes hardened as she looked away from Yuuma. She wouldn't let Orochimaru near her again, never would she get so close to anyone ever again. Look what happened, she had been betrayed by him..and Haru..her eyes saddened. Haru had been taken away from her...she had taken Haru away from herself. Her heart began to ache as the stress of the old life came crashing down on her. It stressed her mind to the limit and caused her to go blank for a while. But she then shook her head, "no....I won't let anyone take Yuuma away from me...."
"...but only if you save me."

"That's the spirit. One part logical, three parts foolish, but it's bravery one and the same," Leon said as he shrugged and started to walk away.

Sunlight filtered through the wind-shaken leaves, creating shifting patterns of warm sunlight upon the ground and all passers bye. A sweet scent was within the winds as they brushed their curious fingers through an abundance of silken black hair which grew, unkempt, atop Jin's head. His keen amber eyes gazed past his drooping bangs, watching with the dexterity of a hawk. Even with the honey-warm color of his iris the pupil seemed cold and distant, nothing inviting about the man whose bottom-half of his face was hidden beneath the soft fabric of his black scarf which he had coiled about his neck. A sword, strapped tightly across his back was only another factor which contributed to this mans "stay away from me" demeanor.
Quickly, yet fluently, the man carried himself with pride and ferocity down the road he had been following which hugged against the winding bed of Koi River. In a moments time words had been kicked up by the wind and told an story to Jin's uninterested ears. Two... no, three beings were ahead of him and they were caught up in their own conversation. They would pay him no heed so there was no need to be on his toes. As he neared the man pulled down his scarf, revealing the lower half of his face - specifically his lips. Reaching to his waist, Jin pulled a canteen from his belt, unscrewed the cap, pressed the opening to his chapped lips, and let the sweetness of the cool water wash over his dry tongue and down his parched throat. When he had drunken his fill, Jin returned the cap to the canteen opening and re-attached it to his belt. By then he was upon the two strangers and a quick glance was granted to the woman and her child. She seemed almost familiar, like he had glanced at her in a distant dream. A small smile twitched the corner of his lips before his sharp eyes snapped to the trail before him as he continued his journey to wherever life meant to lead him.

"I'll be you Hero..."
Evil rolled her eyes as he turned to walk away. She didn't care if she was crazy, she had never been...not....crazy. Evil was one for insanity, that was for sure. Her eyes closed and her lips were a straight line. She just let the warmth of the sun beat down on her again. But her thoughts didn't linger for long, as the sound of another hit her. A familiar scent rolled into her nose and it made her heart skip a beat. She felt frozen in place as she tried to confirm it. Was her mind screwing with her? Or was this for real? Keeping her back turned, she was afraid to turn her head and look. Yuuma held tightly onto her hand and sensed her discomfort. It made him look behind them, eyes scanning the pathway. He tugged onto Evil's hand and it made her turn. That scent...that oh so familiar scent....her eyes swelled up with tears.
"H-Haru..." she whispered, her voice full of pain. Her steps were unwilling as she walked, as if she had been mezmerized. Her eyes turned dead and the pain filtered into them as her heart began to ache. Evil heard Yuuma saying "momma" or something along those lines as they walked, but she ignored him. He eventually gave up on her and just followed quietly. She could see him now, but was it a mere illusion? He looked like Haru...his scent was like Haru's....everything so far....could it be?
"...but only if you save me."

The steps were stammered, awkward, and a new tension masked the air suddenly. Inside Jin something tugged at his gut and almost made him sick instantly. Turn? Was that what this feeling was asking of him? Well... someone was definitely following but he had no intention of confronting his stalker, even if something deep inside him told him to turn and ask what the hell they wanted from him. Tugging the scarf further away from his face, Jin mentally noted where his sword was as well as his daggers, and turned in a way to give him quick access to either of the weapons he carried with him. One hand upon his hip and the other hanging limply at his waist, the man's golden eyes fell into a bleak state and he shifted himself so that his eyes met the woman's face. She looked distant and lost... and the child who clung to her hand seemed, in a way, nervous? Arching a brow Jin let his frowning lips let flow a current of words for the woman to hear and, hopefully, understand. "Do you have some kind of business with me? If not fuck off, I don't have time to deal with mindless whores who need money to support their unplanned children." Jin's eyes darted towards the boy who stood at the woman's side before returning to the woman's ark eyes once more. Jin really had no idea where that burst of anger had sprouted from, but he had suddenly felt irritated and wanted to push this woman as far away from himself as possibly. Something felt... dangerous about her, like his blood had once coated her hands.

He heard him call Evil a whore and, for some strange reason, Leon felt an air of anger surround him. Before he could grab a hold of his regular personality, he grabbed the man by his collar, holding him to an angry demonic face. "Call her a whore again and I'll make sure you understand the definetion of Hell!" he snarled.

"I'll be your Hero..."
Evil flinched and her eyes clouded painfully at his words. But then she snarled at him and her eyes narrowed. "Excuse me, but I am not a whore!" She spat bitterly. "And I wasn't going to ask for money..." The fire died down and she frowned, "you just look...like someone I once knew. I guess you're not him..." Evil looked at Leon and growled bitterly, "leave him alone...this is none of your business." With that she turned, "...Haru..." She felt depressed, this wasn't Haru. Yet it looked so much like him...it seemed so much like him. Except he was an asshole...."Come on, Yuuma...." She tugged gently on the little boy's hand and began to walk away. The sun glistening on her ring finger as her ring glistened. The ring of a dead marriage....the ring she'll never take off... "...but only if you save me." [/blockquote][/blockquote][/color][/size] |

The sudden seizure of his colar surprised Jin, slightly, and his cold eyes lit up with humor. Gripping the man's wrist he snatched iot away from his shirt and brushed out the wrinkles. "You're quick to act, aren't you? An honest man, a heroic man, defending a woman when someone insults her. Are you a man of principles?" Jin gave him the once over. "Do you really think you scare me with talk of Hell? I find it pathetic." Honey-warm eyes danced towards the woman as she spoke. Why did she seem so familiar? Jin frowned and crossed his arms. Then it came to him, a name with heavy meaning. "Haru". The ghost of a dream - so faint and distant - floated through his mind and the word time - of all things - seemed to jump to the front of his thoughts. Jin frowned, eyes piercing as he watched the woman and ignored the man who had threatened him earlier. At this time the man was about as dangerous as a new born lamb. Time... what's that supposed to mean? Jin thought as he took a step backwards. "Who are you exactly?" Jin questioned the woman, following her gaze to her left hand where a ring glistened in the sunlight. His eyes jumped back up to hers before she answered.

"Let's see... First you call her a whore... Now you chase her looking like some long lost puppy," Leon said, crossing his arms, staring at Jin. He just couldn't stand the word whore.

"I'll be your Hero."
Evil stopped as he questioned her. She remained her back to him and lifted her head. Looking forward, she hid her dead eyes. The pain was throbbing through her body and ripping at her soul. Her heart was aching so badly...she wanted to stab it. She wanted to tear it out and end the pain. "My name....is Izumi, Evil.." she responded, "but Izumi is my maiden name. I used to be married, so it's truthfully Kurotani..." She closed her eyes as memories came to haunt her. She accepted them, hearing his voice in the memories....seeing his face..."Until the end of time..." She hadn't realized she had said the promise. Her mind was drifting away from reality quickly as her past life took over her. It swirled her into the pit of darkness deep inside her, threw her to the wolves. What memories had once been happy ones were now her nightmare.... "...but only if you save me." [/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] |

When the woman had relayed her name, Jin nodded and started to say someting, but that was cut off by a sigh as he turned his eyes towards the man. "You're very annoying I hope you know... and I hate to correct you infront of your lady friend, but you seem to be the one who's chasing her like a love-sick puppy," Jin held up one finger, "For one: you were the one following her. I was walking away from her," he lifted another finger, "Second: You are the one defending her and threatening to beat me up over calling her a whore," one final finger was raised to count his third and final point. "And you, sir, need to get out of my face before-" Something ticked within his head... what has she just said? Jin's eyes, now wide, turned slowly towards Evil and simply stared. "Until the end of time?" He repeated, raising his brows. "Where'd you hear that?" Time... when she had said that the phrase seemed so familiar to him, so meaningful. Why? He'd never heard that phrase in his life, never even thought it until now...
