Rain, Clouds, and Unexpected Guests (Sa. & Sh.)

[Aria]

(( Sorry, ran out of room so I couldn't put Samael and Shahal. ^^; ))

Striding briskly down the street, Aria paused to seek shelter from the freezing rain underneath and old oak tree. God, why was this rain so chilly today? Not to mention Aria wasn't one who favored rain, well, she liked it and all, but not when it was freezing cold water and she was stuck out in it for christ sakes! Whoever had planned this to happen on the day she would be out and about had a sick and twisted mind...

Oh well, she would have to get over it eventualy, right? Can't complain about everything that you hate that seems to happen to you on days when you have a job or something else, right? Right.

Taking a breath, she pulled out Raven and Crow to examine the metal guns and tried to dry off her 'friends' the best she could. Glaring up at the dark gray sky, she frowned bitterly, a fang hanging over her lower lip in distaste. "Damn it all..." she mused quietly before taking another breath and striding out into the rain yet again.

After a few more minutes of walking in the freezing rain, the sight of an fairly large Cathedral reached her line of vision. Stopping, she stared thoughtfully at the large building that was about fourty paces or so away....maybe...just maybe...she could stop there until this blasted rain passed through. Frowning, she shook her head and began to walk again. No, if someone was there they'd probablly have a heartattack at seeing a vampire/cat person walking into the place...but then again...she paused to stare at it, only ten paces away now, maybe it was abandoned? Ah, she'd take her chances.

Altering her path, she headed towards the doors and reached out a gloved hand to tug on the handle. Blinking some when it was lock...there wasn't a lock on the outside so it must've locked from the inside. Taking a few steps back, Aria examined the emense building and spotted a window above a tree limb. Grinning brightly at her speck of good luck, she headed towards the tree and had climbed up it in a matter of seconds.

Making her way out onto the branch, she knelt down at the window and pulled it, open, another speck of good luck! Climbing through, she knelt onto the window sill before closing the window again. No need to let rain in, now was there? Pushing off the wall, she flipped into the air to landed lightly on her feet. Straightening herself out, she examined the large enterior...well...there wasn't a sign of anybody yet...maybe it was abandoned. But one thing had her puzzled...why did it look so much like a home?

[Shahal]

With a sigh Shahal raked a towel through her wet hair, she had gotten caught out in the rain earlier whilst taking out a few demons, and being as how she couldn't exactly leave until they were all dead, stayed out in the cemetery massacring them all, and of course, one of them had been nice enough to kick mud up all over the place, on tombstones, mausoleums, her face. Needless to say the girl wasn't to happy about that part.

So of course as soon as she got inside Shahal headed straight for a hot relaxing shower, something to ease her aching muscle. Having just stepped out of her bathroom her green hair was still wet and left down, and she was wearing a pair of baggy black bondage pants, and a regular black vest, but at least she was clean and she smelled good.

Tossing the towel somewhere she stretched and walked toward her kitchen, grabbed a bottle of vodka and decided to call it a night with the demon hunting as the rain didn't seem to be letting up much and although Shahal loved the rain, it was cold and she had already showered so going back out into the storm really didn't seem all that appealing from where she stood in her nice warm cathedral, all dry with a drink in hand and ready to pop in a good horror movie, perhaps she'd go with the exorcist, it was always good for a chuckle.

Taking a swing from the bottle, she proceeded to look through the stack of movies she had for the horror flick in question when she heard someone entering her place of residence and sighed again, she'd been getting a lot of intruders lately and it was becoming quite the nuisance for her. So taking another swing of the vodka she stalked in the direction of the noise, stopping only to grab one of her guns before continuing after the intruder.

"Can I ask what your doing in my house?" Shahal asked as she finally came across the girl, her gun, Revelation, was shoved in her belt plain as day for all to see, and she still held the bottle of liquor by the neck, waiting for a response.

[Aria]

This place was...well...it was huge. Not to mention it had a rather gothic feel to it, but that wasn't too surprising, Cathedral's like these always had some dark, gothic feel to it, despite them being used for church services or something of the sort. The windows seemed to be clean...so someone must've lived here or else they would've been rather dusty.

Frowning, she crossed her arms loosley over her chest to examine the enterior further. A few things had gathered some dust, but it wasn't enough to suggest that no one had been here for days, months even. Someone /had/ to be living here, there was absolutely no doubt about it.

Of course Shahal proved that for her.

Jumping some at the voice, her hand immediately flew down to Raven's handle and was whipped out of its' holster and immediately pointed to the voice. Blinking some as she realized it was a girl....not human that was for sure, but a girl none the less. She quickly lowered her gun back to its' holster. Maybe that hadn't been the smartest thing to do, but Aria had been running on instincts by then.

Giving a apologetic smile, she rubbed the back of her neck lightly, "Uhm...yeah, sorry about that...." she mused quietly, "I was guessing someone lived here, just wasn't sure." she added. Man, maybe she should've just kept walking. Oh well, too late now, no? Clearing her throat some, she examined the woman over curiously. Yep, she definately wasn't human, wings, yeah, no human had wings.

"Sorry for intruding." she continued, "I'm used to places like this being abandoned or empty on days like these." she continued, mentally shooting herself. God, she sounded like a babbling school girl.

[Shahal]

Having another gulp of the vodka Shahal watched the girl closely, quick reflexes, but at the same time Shahal could tell she was running on instinct by how fast she put the gun back down which is also why she didn't take offense to having a gun pulled on her in her own home, she had startled the girl after all.

Looking at her a bit more closely Shahal noticed that she had one extremely odd aura, so odd in fact that Shahal really couldn't figure out what this girl was, all she knew was that the girl in front of her wasn't human, but what she was exactly, that, Shahal just couldn't figure out.

Shahal simply shrugged off her apology,"Not a problem," after all most people didn't know she lived there, and Shahal actually made it a point to keep the outside looking abandoned, after all she really didn't need people coming in and out of the place looking for her, being a solitary creature and one that most people either wanted dead or wanted a job done by.

"Let me guess, you found a way in here to try and get out of the rain right?" Shahal was trying to get the girl focused on something else to say, was she making her nervous or something? Granted that was a bit of Shahal's point to do, but then again the girl seemed nice enough, a bit talkative though, but it was a break from the usual silence that filled the place.

"Here, want a bit?" Shahal held out the bottle, "It'll warm ya up a bit if you're cold," May as well be nice to her new guest, even if she was rather uninvited, but Shahal could sympathize with wanting to get out of a cold rainy night.

[Aria]

Aria had finally shut herself up after her little embaressed moment of prattling on and on. She'd have to make a mental note to learn when to, Shut. Her. Mouth. Sometimes her mouth was what got her into trouble...quite often actually. But at times she just made herself look like a complete idiot from babbling on and on about things that didn't really matter.

Giving a small nod to her reply, she let out a small sigh before running a hand through her slightly damp bangs. God...this was a new one to add onto her list of completely stupid things she had done...maybe she should just start knocking on doors before she decided to go all stealth and sneak in like she usually did, then again, there was hardly anyone inside, let alone living in places like this.

Laughing lightly at the woman's very good guessing skills, she nodded lightly, "Yeah, I like rain, but not when it's /that/ cold." she mused in response. Glancing around the room lightly, she could tell she was being scrutinized...needless to say that was what was making her feel slightly antsy.

Her attention was brought back to the woman infront of her at her offer, studying the bottle curiously for a brief second, she took it before taking a quick drink from the clear liquid inside. Aria drank a few drinks every now-and-then, but this stuff was strong. Though Shahal was right, it did warm her up considerably. Handing the bottle back to its owner, she gave a small smile, "Thanks...but, if you don't mind me asking...what are you exactly?" she questioned. It had been bugging Aria for a few moments, she wasn't sure if the woman was a demon or something else...maybe a mix? Probablly a mix.

[Shahal]

Shahal listened, giving her a nod in order to let her know that she understood what the other girl meant about the rain, "It is unusually cold rain for tonight," She muttered and looked thoughtfully out of the window she assumed the other girl had gotten in from, maybe it had something to do with the tower. After all demonic energy had a way of just messing with pretty much everything, including the weather.

Her tail flicked to the side as she looked around her own place a little, Shahal figured that she was probably making the girl nervous as she was watching her so intently and figured it'd only be nice to take the edge of her gaze, the girl really hadn't done much wrong so there was no need to make her sweat.

"It's kinda complicated," Shahal answered as she took the bottle back, having another swing of the potent stuff, "I'm something between a fallen angel and a demon," Honestly even Shahal wasn't sure what she was exactly, maybe she would have a better understanding of herself if she could remember what happened during the botched ritual, but of course no matter how hard she tried the memories wouldn't come.

"Now if you don't mind me askin, what are you?" Her tail flicked around a bit more as she looked the other girl over again, in all her years she couldn't say she had run across an aura such as the one the girl before her possessed, "The name's Shahal by the way," It was bad manners to hold a conversation with a person and not give ones name, well that and it tended to make life easier for everyone to not simply be considered, 'her' or 'she' unless of course the other person was an enemy, but the girl didn't seem like one.

[Samael]

Under the rain Samael and his hellhound were looking for something to hunt, but it seemed not even demons were willing to stay out in the open with a rain like that so he decided to look for shelter and continue his hunt once the rain stopped. He spotted a church nearby, probably the closest place for him to go so he just walked calmly, the rain didn't bother him, not even cold rain.

Once he got there he tried to open the door but it was locked, he tried to look for another way in to avoid breaking the door but couldn't find any other doors. Time to test my most resent acquisition then. The amulet containing Raijin hadn't been easy to get, the god was strong and that was something he was going to use. He put his hand in the lock and fried it with lightning, then he broke it and entered. Man he would have to fix it up later but it wouldn't be any problem, then he looked inside and noticed there was someone inside. "Sorry about the door I'll fix it later"

[Aria]

"Oooh." she replied. A Fallen Angel/Demon mix, that's why Aria had had no clue what she was. She /was/ a mix, ha! Good guess, Aria!

Giving a smile as she stated her name, "Nice to meet'cha, name's Aria." she responded, giving a bright smile. Well, it seemed Shahal seemed to not mind too terribly to having a intruder come slipping through her window...though she might want to put a lock on it or cut off that tree limb for future events if something else like this were to happen.

Smiling some she nodded, oh yes, she understood her curiosity. As far as Aria knew, she was the only one of her kind in...well...in the world. But who knew, maybe those scientists that messed with her DNA had found a new 'patient'. "Well..." she began, "I'm a vampire and cat hybird." she stated with an amusemed smirk. It probablly sounded completely nuts to Shahal, but it was the truth.

However, when the door very nearly exploded, Aria (yet again) jumped at the unexpected noise. This time however, she had pulled out both Raven and Crow on her own mind work and aimed it at the broken wood, eyes narrowed some. What the hell had that been? The words from the newcomer surprised her though, he'd fix it? What? Lowering her weapons, she stared puzzled at the man in the doorway and his...hellhound?

[Shahal]

"It's a pleasure," Shahal said with a curt nod, the girl seemed nice enough, young though, then again it would be an amazing feat to find someone as old as she was on Earth, most where either in heaven or hell, not many felt the need to wander the realm of mortals as some would so delicately put it when she was still an angel.

Shahal felt her mouth fall open slightly at her words. Well that was something totally out of the ball park, goodness how did that come to be? She closed her mouth quickly though, not wanting to gape at the girl but finding it hard not too, "Well now, that's, that's something else entirely," She managed to get out, "Kid I've been around for a looooong while and I must admit that is the oddest mix I have ever heard of," Hands down she had just taken the cake and eaten it too, it wasn't natural that was for sure.

She had opened her mouth to say something else when her door was broken. Shahal bristled at the man as he walked in, pointing Revelation at his head, "What in the name of hell are you doin!?!?!" She couldn't help but yell out, "Doesn't anyone know how to knock anymore?!"

[Samael]

Just by looking at the girls' faces he could tell he had made a mistake entering like that, he just never thought the church to be someone's home and just an apology wasn't going to get him out of trouble. "Sorry about that, there's just a bloody cold rain outside and I needed to find somewhere to stay dry until the rain stops. Besides how should I know there was someone inside?".

He hadn't noticed the gun pointed at his head until that moment, too bad it began like this, first impressions were always important and he had just ruined it. "No need to get all worked up, I can fix it right away if you want to". Compared to other things he had done it would be really easy, even more with one of his weapon's abilities.

[Aria]

Aria couldn't help but smile in amusement at Shahal's reaction to her explination on what she was. Most people reacted like that, but she never got tired of seeing it, it always put a little burst to her mood, "Yeah, it's a long story." she replied, waving a hand at her as if it wasn't that important, and it wasn't, for Aria at least.

Aria had put away both Raven and Crow by now, seeing as how the man didn't seem to mean any harm or else he would've attacked by now, or tried to attack when the door very nearly exploded to try to catch them off guard. But instead he was apologizing, and usually the enemy didn't apologize.

Listening to Shahal snap at the man, Aria managed to hold back a small snicker that was threatening to break out, "Well, he did knock...sort of..." she murrmered, nuding a chunk of wood that had landed nearby with the toe of her shoe, "A very explosive knock."

[Shahal]

"I suppose it would be a rather interesting story though," Shahal ran a hand through her hair, looking at the other girl with interest, she couldn't help it, that was just such an odd combination of things, "You gonna have to tell me that story sometime, cause boy am I curious how that worked out," She looked out the window, "Maybe for another rainy day huh?

"No need to get worked up?" She growled, fighting the urge to shot him just for saying that, "Yes, go ahead and fix it, now please," It was funny but when Shahal got really mad and tried to stifle the anger she also became oddly polite, sometimes it tended to confuse the people that were on the receiving end of her anger.

Finally lowering the gun she turned to give the girl a rather deadpan look, "You and I both know that wasn't what I was talking about," Shahal spoke wearily, what a night this had turned out to be so far, and it was still just beginning. She groaned mentally, wondering just how odd the night could get if this was the start to it.

[Samael]

Normally he didn't like being pointed with a gun, that would mean a disadvantage if a fight were to start, but he didn't really mind it this time, he had made a mistake and that's what he deserved. "Well thanks for the support but she has a point" He said turning to Aria. Then he turned at Shahal. "As I said no need, I'll fix it just as I promised and you can ask any questions later".

He took one of his swords, it looked like a katana and the metal was unusually crimson colored, similar to fresh blood, only it was dry and there was no blood on the blade. He picked up all the broken wood and metal pieces and putting it together with the larger, not broken part of the door. "I've never really tested it with inanimate objects so it may not work as effectively". He put the blade against the door and suddenly the whole door burned to ashes with no apparent flame, then after touching the ashes with the tip of the blade they took back the shape of the door, perfectly fixed. "Well that means I don't need to come back for further repairs".

[Aria]

Aria smiply nodded to Shahal's remark, "If you want." she stated before looking out window she had entered through, she couldn't help but smile at the fact that her way was less explosive. But who could have fun without explosions? No one I tell you! (Unless you're Vergil. I kid, V-dog, I kid. xD) If she was curious as to how that worked out, wouldn't she get a surprise at how smart the humans had gotten over the years.

Grinning sheepishly at Shahal, Aria laughed some, "I know." She couldn't help but think that this demon/fallen angel had no sense of humor. But then again, she hadn't been around the woman long enough to know so, no judging a book by its cover now.

Glancing to the newcomer, Aria grinned brightly before giving him a thumbs up, "Anytime." God, she could be a complete ditz and not even know it at times. But whatever, she didn't neccessarily care, as long as she was having fun it didn't matter much to her.

[Shahal]

"Very much so," She answered truthfully, wanting very badly to know just how she became what she was now. Taking another swing of the vodka Shahal began to think that maybe she was an alcoholic, perhaps she was, who's to say really? Lord knows she didn't exactly care, but she probably did love the bottle a bit too much.

Still with a deadpan look on her face Shahal turned from the girl to watch what the newest arrival was going to do about fixing her door, "Well that's a nifty trick ya got there, I might have to keep you around for a while in case anything needs fixing," Crap Shahal wished she had met the man sooner, like around the time that she was first fixing the place up, that sort of thing would have saved her a lot of time, grief, and probably a good three quarters of her lungs, how she hated dry wall now.

"Want some?" Shahal asked him, offering up the liquor bottle as a sort of peace offering for having pointed her gun at his head and all that, but really that was a rather unnecessary entrance even if Shahal normally liked explosions.
