Burning Night {Adele | Hiro}

It was all coming back once again. Everything she thought she had found places for in her mind was dug up again. Too many thoughts had been coursing around in her head which was why she decided to leave for the day, and maybe even the night. She had left a note in the house for Zenshin to read. She would come back later...

Late. The sun had already begun setting. The heels of her boots clacked everytime they hit the checkered stone pavement of her home town. This raunchy place, it didn't get any better. It was still the same old shit hole she had wanted to come clean with several months ago. But here she was, walking the same old streets, the same old blocks, completing the same old ritual of looking at the same old houses as she walked by. Right here she seemed safe, it was her own little world that she knew inside out.

Her nose picked up the scents, or rather the stench of the streets. Something was mixed into it though. The smelly garbage and unwashed odor seemed to cover it, but it was there. Iana didn't assign any special meaning to it. It seemed like it belonged right inside the cluster of terrible smells. But before she could think about it, Meoru hammered against her mind, his instincts screaming at her. The burning feeling of the usual Meoru flamed up inside her. Her inner eye gave an exact picture of the fox's face covered by an ocean of flames.

"Adele, I feel something. It's flame is weak, but it's near. I would watch out if I were you."

Then he vanished, back away. Iana cringed and growled at what he had just said. She knew the fox was bold, but that he was this brash was new to her. He couldn't even imagine the anger she felt for him as of now, and saying things like that didn't make it better. Ever since she had started meditating with Meoru she was able to find him much easier whenever he was hiding in her subconscious, but ever since the message got passed on, Iana was unable to even attempt to find him.

The huddle that was her head snarled though, her eyes wandered around. He wouldn't say something like that if there wasn't something. The streets were almost empty, and the people that were still outside were either drunk, currently urinating or puking in a corner.

"Hello?"

She called through the streets. No reaction. She decided to try it a second time, a bit louder.

"HELLO?"

It echoed, from the streets there was no reaction again.
