I Don't Know Why; I do some of the things I do.

Zouken...the city of Shadows.

Then what the hell am I doing here? Spectre wondered for the tenth time. It was crazy, what he was doing, and surely the higher-ranking Shadows would be able to see past the Mark of Night he had projected onto his hand. Nevertheless, there he was, leaning against some random building in the Shadow-infested city.

He felt drawn to the Shadows for some reason; he didn't know why. Their whole way of life repulsed him, being hated by everyone and constantly being under the thumb of a goddess who could kill you with a single thought. But he did like talking to them, so long as they were lower-class and couldn't tell that he still had a soul.

Hell, who was he kidding? He almost wanted them to find him out. Again, he wasn't sure why. Maybe it was the thrill of knowing that he could be found out at any moment, the adrennaline rush when the chase finally happens. Risking danger was what he did.

So Spectre stood there, watching and waiting.

"Me and my big mouth!" Strings of curses ran through her head as her feet carried her down the streets of Zouken. Several angry voices came chasing after the twenty-year-old Shadow. They belonged to a male and female Shadow, both Class 4. This was bad, really bad. Nisa didn't mean to start that fight.... Okay, maybe her bad mood did set them off, though she had no idea they were a class higher than her. Her mind was working to think of a plan, though none came.

Hey, what am I running for? So what, there's two of them, and they may be a rank higher than me; what does it matter? Her obnoxious side began stiffling her logic. Abruptly, Nisa stopped and turned around to fight. Well, if she was going to die, at least she'll die fighting. The girl was preparing for the worst as the two opponent Shadows transformed into wolves.

[Mmm.... if this doesn't seem too possible, please tell me and I'll edit this right away. >____< Sorry for the bad post.]

Sounds of commotion reached Spectre's ears. Sure enough, when he walked around the corner, there were two wolves about to fight a Shadow girl. The classic damsel-in-distress scene. To step in and help, or to stand back and watch? he wondered. He decided just to watch, in case one or both of the wolves would turn on him without his help. I might step in if things get really bad, though, he thought.

Not that he was trying to play the hero or anything. He just didn't want it on his concience if the girl got killed. Since when did that matter? he wondered.

But what's the point of seeking danger if you're just going to avoid it?

Even with all that bravado, Nisa could feel herself shaking. The two Shadows-turned-wolves snarled as they got ready to pounce on the girl. In the alley she was in, the shadows grew long, the black image of the building printed behind her. She thanked whatever powerful, holy being that was up in the sky that it was night time. At the mouth of the alley, she spotted a fellow male Shadow. She glowered at the figure; he was just standing there! If he wasn't going to do something, then he should just go away.

The other two probably noticed his presence, yet showed no outward signs of acknowledgement. She stepped back, her foot now covered by the building's shadow. The wolves quickly ran forward, not wanting to lose sight of Nisa. However, the girl was quicker, and disappeared into the shadows. The two Shadows ran blindly in the darkness, attacking objects that may be the their target. After several minutes of searching, the two of them changed back into their original forms. "Damn..... where'd she go?" the man yelled. The woman, who was much more composed than her partner, sighed. "Let's go. We've wasted enough time with that trash," she said spitefully and walked out again. The male lingered, his eyes still searching for Nisa. "Let's go!" the woman said forcefully once more. He consented grudgingly, and stalked off, not even looking at the guy in the front of the alley as he passed him.

High up on the walls of the building, a tiny black spider clung inbetween the bricks. When the two Class 4 Shadows had gone, and Nisa was positive of it, she slowly began crawling down. She transformed back into her normal self. The girl stiffened when she saw that the male spectator was still watching. She walked to him, slow but strong. "Your not going to rat on my are you?" Nisa asked suspiciously.

[I hope I didn't push the roleplay too far.]

A slow smile spread across his lips. "Now why would I do that?" he asked. Of course, he was seriously considering it. He had never seen this girl before in her life, so what did it matter to him what happened to some random stranger? "And by the way," he added. "I would choose something a little less obvious than a spider."

[ooc: Sorry about the sucky post, but I really can't think of much at the moment.]

The sarcasm in his tone of voice was hard to miss. She had wasted enough time getting away from those two Shadows, and didn't want to have to deal with them any longer. Nisa had better things to do. But being as prideful as she was, asking him not to rat her out was the last thing on her mind.

"And by the way, I would choose something a little less obvious than a spider."

Nisa stiffled the natural urge to glower at smartasses like him and covered it with an unaffected stare. She glanced to side and said, "At least it worked. Tell me," her eyes turned back to him, "what would you have done?" If she kept him talking, maybe he wouldn't end up yelling for the two others to come back.

[It's partially my fault. I think I typed too much that last time. >__O Now my brain's dry too.]

Spectre's wolfish grin intensified. "I have ways of hiding and escaping that low-class Shadows like you could only dream about," he said. Actually, calling her low-class was a bit of a gamble. For all he knew she was Class 6 and could kick his ass right then and there.

"But if I were you, I'd go with a fly. Or a flea. Or a fruit fly. You know, something smaller," he added.

"Good for you then," she sniffed. The mask covering her face was beginning to come off. Her annoyance of this Shadow was growing, but so was her worry. This guy's unwavering confidence left little doubt in Nisa's mind that he could kill her so, so easily. Still, being the conceited girl she was, there was hope that she could hold her own against him, like she possibly could have with the two previous Shadows.

Right now, Nisa wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face. Calm down Nisa... the thinking side of her said. So she took a deep breathe and walked past him without a glance in his direction. But a thought suddenly struck her. Why not try to see if he's bluffing or not? Without even thinking of the possible consequences, she tried to read his mind.

Somewhere in the back of his mind Spectre felt a tiny prick. It was like a mental itch, a mental mosquito bite. Someone was trying to read his mind. He guessed it was that Shadow girl. It could have been someone else, some hidden person watching them, but he doubted it.

"That's very rude, you know," he said to the girl's retreating back. He tried to be nonchalant about it, but the truth was that he hated her right now. He kept some things locked up in his mind for a reason, and he didn't need some spiteful Shadow to dig them out.

She stopped at his words, but he wasn't the one who actually stopped her. In the few milliseconds Nisa had to look in his mind, she was able to find out the Mark of Night on him was fake. He's not a Shadow.... At this, a smile came on her face. It didn't show a trace of malice or anything evil, just a simple grin. Turning to face him, she said in a light and airy voice, "Sorry, I know it's rude, but y'know, sometimes, a girl just can't just help yourself."

The girl paused and immediately began again. "I mean, what with you being such a high ranked Shadow and all, right?" She had been so proud, that the girl had let her guard down. Nisa simply thought she was dealing with another human.

Well that was weird, Spectre thought. People had mood swings, sure, but this one seemed suspicious for some reason. Maybe in the few seconds she had been in his mind, she had found something out...

No. She couldn't have. And besides, for all he knew, she had mood swings like this all the time. And she thought he was high-class. That had to be to his advantage. He decided to go along with it. "That's right," he said. And you know those two that were chasing you? They answer to me. And I can call them back right now and tell them to rip you to shreds. And if they were motivated to do that before, they'll be even more so now. So stay out of where you don't belong."

[I hope it was okay that Nisa found out his secret. :x]

Her burst of fun was ending, so should she just have the guy come clean about it? But to leave him be, or wring out the last bit of humor she'd get from this? Now that Nisa had discovered he wasn't a Shadow, her anger at him seemed to have disappeared. The guy didn't suffer the fate she had, so why bother him more than she already has? "... Fine. I'll be leaving then," were her only words.

Well... maybe just one more poke at it. she thought. Midway at turning, Nisa added, "If your not a Shadow, what are you doing here in Zouken?"

[Bad post. D: I'm sort of rushing, sorry! >__<]

[Yeah, it's ok that she found him out. It makes things a little more interesting. ^_^*]

Damn! She did find out something! And of course the one thing she did find out had to be his most dangerous secret. Well, it was dangerous here, anyway.

At this moment Spectre would have liked nothing more than to wring the insolent little bitch's neck. Instead he growled, "Now where did you get that idea? If someone has been spreading lies about me I would very much like to know who." The truth was he felt very foolish for what he said before, but he kept up the charade because someone else could be watching.

She chuckled a little. "No one has," Nisa smiled. "Right..." she started, her voice quieter now, though the amusement she was getting from this was still showing in the tone. "I guess I was a bit clueless, when I said that so loud. Now, I'd like an answer to my question; what are you, a..." It's possible he's not human. She really didn't want to assume he was something as weak as that. "... someone who's not a Shadow, doing in Zouken?"

Her best bet was a 'none of your business,' but like hell she'd accept that.... Maybe at the 'unexplainable feeling' excuse.

"That's for me to know, and you to forget about," was Spectre's snappy reply. He started to walk off, resisting the urge to make himself invisible. He liked hanging around the Shadows, sure, but only when they thought he was one of them. It was safe and dangerous at the same time.

But now someone had finally figured it out. Who knew how many Shadows she would tell? He could probably never set foot in Zouken again. No, that wasn't true. There was definitely something to be said for disguises, especially when you could summon them at will, anytime, anywhere.

But then, he stopped abruptly and turned back toward her. "Why do you care, anyway?" he asked. He had no idea why; it was completely impulsive and stupid. Then again, he'd done impulsive stupid things before.
