[b][center]Totsuka Chou[/center][/b] A small button nose wrinkled as she was petted, feeling flustered and embarrassed at the show of affection. It's not like she was a child, she thought as she wiped stray bits of hair from her eyes. And, in what seemed like an instant, he was gone. Stay with Akurai, she thought to herself, as she glanced at the male, wondering if she perhaps should take a seat. This was the longest time she'd spent with people who weren't dead or dying, and frankly, she didn't know the standard mannerisms. Just as she started to reach for Akurai and "lay down the moves" as she'd heard men in the club say, she was interrupted by a request. And, after placing a bag on her hands, he absconded. Chou's dark eyes looked at the bag, opening it and finding pieces of paper, pulling them out to take a whiff- it didn't smell delectable enough to be edible, though there were faint traces of human on it, and before she knew it she was spending quite some time sniffing paper. Remembering, suddenly, Ishin's words- [i]Stay with the Boy,[/i]- Chou looked down and tucked away the papers back into the bag, placing it on the bed and starting out. She slipped her mask on over her face, her nose sniffing out Akurai's scent with ease, graceful leap after leap over rooftops until her speed drastically slowed, the smell of something more deliciously sweet reaching her nostrils. Humans. A whole pack of them- and Akurai smelled so closely to them it was almost hard to distinguish him, but in the same silence mimicked of her caretaker, Chou silently landed beside Akurai, a hand wrapping over his lips. "You shouldn't be here," she whispered slowly, her dainty voice even softer than usual- now that she was closer, she knew that those weren't normal humans. They were hunters, murderers- danger. "You have to leave," she continued, pulling him before stopping. Though they were covered by a mask, Chou could've sworn her eyes made eye contact with someone from below and her grip on Akurai tightened before her kagune sprouted from her shoulders. She repeated, "You have to go," before pulling him to his feet and adding, "I'll distract them." Without another word she leapt down, her wings releasing shots that fired into two agents and the ground as she did so, landing with silence and focus. [b][center]Nonozumi Miko[/center][/b] "Aw, what a shame," pouted Nono before stepping back at the sudden transformation. While he couldn't say he wasn't impressed with the feat, the entire event took quite some time, and the curly haired ghoul found himself staring at his nails as he debated on whether or not he had homework for tomorrow. Flicking away a speck of dried blood that was in his middle finger, Nono glanced towards the Meat man, glad to see he'd finished feeding. He looked much better, too- healthier, stronger. Pushing himself off of the wall he'd been leaning on, Nono slipped on his Noh mask with a smile, chirping a, "Tbh I'm willing to stay anywhere today, lmao." Admittedly, he didn't like how the ghoul said he had something to check out- given the earlier neigh, Nonozumi didn't exactly have a hard time guessing what that 'something' might be- but it was better than holing up in Dark Nights. Imagine an honor student like him walking out of that sort of establishment! He merely nodded at the killing subject, following suit after the older ghoul. Nono, after all, was a lucky sort of guy and had Meat man wanted to eat him, he probably wouldn't have ever come across him at all. As he landed and followed behind, however, Nono couldn't help but note that he was heading towards the nieghing, one part of him chiding at the bad news, another part wondering if this was just part of his good luck in the works.
