He'd been walking for quite awhile, yes he had. It had been boring. Very boring, yes...and he was hungry. [color=#9E1E1E][b]"Mmm, I think a hunt is well past due,"[/b][/color] said the Soul Thief as he licked his lips. Immediately his perception shifted and he expanded his senses, gaze roving over the landscape. He had no idea where his wanderings had ended him up, and he didn't much care, but it seemed that it had put him quite close to something that might even hold his interest for a time. Dashing forwards, Akine lept into the treetops, moving from tree to tree to avoid the obstacles on the ground till, quite suddenly, he reached the edge of a clearing. He drew a kunai in an instant and threw it at the child even as he  let himself fall down from the tree and land on the opposite side of the clearing from the strange duo...and the sheep. No, trio, he corrected himself, noticing the sheep's abnormally potent spirit. [color=#9E1E1E][b]"How interesting,"[/b][/color] he mused aloud, his characteristic grin 'pon his lips. Blood lust and killing intent spilled off of him like water poured into a full cup.

His eyes locked onto Chiyoko, the clear leader of the group based on the size of her soul...and the power that emanated off of her. She looked [i]delicious.[/i] [color=#9E1E1E][b]"Why hello there, miss,"[/b][/color] he began, bowing without letting his eyes move from her form, before he rose back up and walked diagonally to the left. His path was nearly straight, but nonetheless curved slightly inwards almost as if he were circling them, but didn't have enough room. [color=#9E1E1E][b]"I don't suppose you'd be so kind as to part with your body, mmm?"[/b][/color] His smile widened to reveal his teeth in a cheshire grin.

This would prove amusing. Perhaps it would even sate him for a time.

[i]Psh, as if![/i]
