Guard the secret deal

job info:

Nakiya walked into Talonia, accompanied once more by Kuro, a fellow guild mate from Savage Skull. So far, they only had a single mission together, and yet already the red head felt comfortable around him. There was so much the two had in common, it was almost frightening!
For this job, Nakiya had already summoned two of her most reliable spirits, Canes Venatici. Today however, the twin hounds found themselves in their human forms.

They both wore long black fancy trench coats. Gamma sporting elegant gold designs while Delta sported crimson. their poofy sleeves and over the top attire completely betrayed their animal forms. The only thing that was identical, where their crimson eyes.

"So... think we'll actually find this girl? kind of strange to have someone from Galuna as a courrier.."
She grumbled, her eyes darting from right to left as  if someone was going to jump out and ambush them.

Kuro, the Mad Mystic he was, had once more decided to join with this Nakiya girl. She seemed similar to him, and he was awesome. Naturally, she must be awesome to then. Those dogs of hers were so adorable as well, well, until they turned human, then they were boring. Oh well, he supposed. He couldnt have it all. Even if he could, it would be far more fun if he earned it. "Who knows? Im still trying to figure out whats with this drug trade." Still under the delusion that lacrimas were drugs, due to his lack of information on the general world, Kuro did not realize they were explosives in this case, and assumed it was just some backwater drug trade or something. It would certainly not be the first time. This time around, he had two swords across his back, one gray like stone, the other red like fire. Ironically, that fit. Both of them were curved and deceptively sharp. He had gained them on a similar mission a while back, but he honestly could not remember...

Nakiya rolled her eyes at the mention of the drug trade glancing over to Kuro curiously. Did he not know what a lacrima was? Well, it didn't matter, she wasn't here to educate him. He'd find out one way or another.

"Gamma, Delta. I want you two to scout the area, make us a clear path to make sure this deal goes smoothly."
She stated, both dogs answered with a quick "Right" before they both stepped away from Nakiya, each taking their own path to make sure things would go smoothly as Nakiya and Kuro soon came across a strange looking figure standing by a rather large crate. She definitely wasn't human, and no doubt their contact... there were horns sticking out of her head for crying out loud. Nakiya raised an eyebrow at the girl before approaching.

"I'm going to assume you are Alixia? our Galuna contact?
She asked the girl casually. She didn't really care what she looked like, she was growing accustomed to people with strange demonic features being in the guild. Sure, her features were a lot more... obvious than most but why the hell would she care what the girl looked like. She had a job to do, she needed the stupid credits and didn't have time to continue pondering her appearance. 

"Well, I hope you're not expecting me to carry it. I'm here to make sure the deal goes smoothly, not labor."

She said bluntly, her eyes darting back to where she could sense the twin hunting dogs. It seemed that both of them had stopped, about a block away from one another... was something going on..?

Kuro shrugged, walking calmly next to his guildmate. "You know, I should probably start reading what missions I choose, before I choose an S ranked on accident and get myself killed." Kuro chuckled, not at all uncomfortable speaking of death. He had long accepted his own inevitable death, so he had no misgivings on the subject. Personally, having seen so much death as a child had caused him to be very morbid and depressed, until he eventually accepted things that he shouldnt have. The one thing he never accepted though, never changed, but he would wait for it. For what he wanted, waiting was needed.

Unlike Nakiya, however, Kuro was immediately suspicious of the two guards. Though he may not seem like it, he was one of the most observant people there was. Their movements, idiotic and clunky they were, revealed that they were entirely uncomfortable being around Kuro and Nakiya. Judging from that, it was very likely they were not who they seemed. Further, those swords they had looked suspiciously like his own... Maybe he had secretly traveled time, and somehow winded up taking the same mission twice. No, he would have noticed. Perhaps though, he had simply been on a similar job before.

In any case, Kuro realized three important things. Nakiya was annoyed for some reason, whether it be the fools' blatant idiocy, or Kuro's lack of care for what mission he took. Further, the two men were waiting for something, if their jittery movements revealed anything. Lastly, whoever the fuck they were supposed to guard(he did not bother remembering her name.) was short as hell. He was suddenly reminded of the noble he manipulated into suicide, and chuckled, only it sounded more like Satan had temporarily possessed him and was using him as a conduit for nothing but evil laughter.

"Trust me, it's not fun to come face to face with a wizard saint, when you expected to be facing legal guild mongrels."
She stated as they walked up to the trio. She could sense the hunting dogs slowly making their way back towards them, wondering just what had caused them to pause like that. Her attention returned to those in front of her, her eyes landing on the two men that were guarding the shipment. Frankly, they looked stupid, out of place... why would anyone trust a pair like that? As for the Galuna girl... well she was a story all unto herself. She stepped up between them, much to both their protests and opened up the grate, peering inside to make sure everything was there.


"Perfect. Great, and you're supposed to be the one getting this stuff right girly?"
She asked, looking over to the Galuna girl then back to Kuro.

"That means we don't need the middle men."
A devilish smirk crossed her features as she quietly reached for the Katana handle at her hip.

Running into a Wizard Saint... That would be hilarious, knowing how strange things that involved Kuro tended to become. He could imagine himself corrupting a Wizard Saint, or even better, convincing them to kill themselves. He should do that when he became powerful enough to replace them... "Sounds fun, actually." Yes, he was completely and utterly insane, we have discussed this.

Was she going to kill the two fools? That would be funny. He decided to let her handle these two, as he had done the majority of the murdering last time around. He would gladly step in if needed, but considering these two had the brains of a dead monkey who had been born retarded, it was unlikely he would be needed. Even so, he would watch. Last time, he had pretty much been the only one to really eat, so he would let her have that too. "If you want, Ive been working on cooking heat with Sha-me." He suggested to Nakiya, referring to the 'left overs' that would be there after she killed the two false guards. They were far more annoying than he believed...

She couldn't truly beleive what Kuro was saying... she HAD come face to face with a wizard saint, and frankly she hadn't been able to get anywhere near him, nor had her spirits been able too... It was a pain in the ass to be reminded that a light sided wizard would always be stronger than her... until A dark wizard stood at the top of the magic council, they'd never get the same recognition as light sided wizards.

She was suddenly glad that the hunting dogs had come back closer to them, as her anger was quickly growing with Kuro's little statement.

"Middle men piss me off really... in fact... there should only be the top man, and the weak mongrel that serves him."
She said as she lipped closer to one of the Knights who was suddenly paying very close attention to her. She gently put her hand on the side of the man's face, as if trying to entice him before quickly withdrawing her Katana's hilt and pushing it hard against his stomach before channeling her magic into it, extending the blade just long enough that it would pierce all the way through him, while not exiting his back.

The man gasped as he leaned forward into Nakiya, suddenly needing support as he tried to find the words to alert his partner, however, he was surprised to find nakiya's face getting closer to him, bypassing his own face and going down to his neck where she bit down, hard. Her canines began to draw blood, the sensation causing the man to shudder and pass out from the terrifying sensation, the blood loss and the general sword through his gut.

Kuro laughed gleefully, enjoying the bloodlust, and the sadistic way that it was happening. "Oh come now, dont waste all that blood, even if it did come from such trash." Casually walking over to the shaking knight who was left staring at his friends body. Naturally, said knight took offense to this, striking down furiously at Kuro, who simply used Buso to block the strikes with ease. "That is not how you use a sword." Kuro spoke calmly. The man glared at Kuro in either defiance or fear, he wasnt sure.

Kuro took care to unsheathe his sword extra slow, just for drama, while the man was still trying to strike Kuro, but that Buso easily blocked it. Kuro grinned once his blade was completely out of its sheath. Suddenly, his hand caught the blade of the knight, causing the man to stop for just a moment. Kuro raised his sword, Agni, the fire sword he attained from a mission far too similar to this, to the sky. "THIS IS HOW YOU USE A SWORD" He roared, before slicing the knight from shoulder to hip. Most of the times, this would be a superficial injury, but with how close Kuro was, and his immense strength, the man was cut in half, diagonally, leaving his organs and blood to spill where the body landed. "Oops... Oh well, I guess we can have traditional food if we get hungry." Kuro shrugged carelessly.

"Call me picky... but this blood, tastes a little too much like light magic to me."
She stated as she brought the swords upwards, through the man's chest and out through his head. She then pushed the body aside before leaning down and cleaning the disgusting tasting blood off of her blade.

"Pathetic..."
She told the knight before turning to the Galuna Island girl who stood there with both hands cupped over her mouth in shock. Nakiya raised an eyebrow at the girl before putting her sword away and walking over to her.

"Listen up girly. Those two were idiots... light sided moron's who couldn't keep their identities a secret when their lives depended on it. You? I personally love your form, every demonic looking bit of it. Now take your shipment and get out of here before anyone else shows up."
She stated simply, sticking her hands into her pockets and looking back to Kuro.

Kuro chuckled coldly, odd for his usual psychotic nature. In fact, his face had turned completely emotionless. "I am afraid you might be right." He mused, looking down at the carcasses before him. "Dying in such an unsightly manner, no hope for a fight... Is it too much to ask for a worthy opponent these days?" The cold manner was a complete 180 from his normal insane attitude. It seemed as though the man had trouble dealing with his personality. While it was obviously not a full switch between two personalities, it seemed as though his basic emotions were decreased for the time being.

"Lets go, We are done, arent we?" Kuro's voice towards Nakiya was far from hateful, but it seemed far less emotional than normal. It was due to Kuro's strange personality, that he was able to switch between sociopath and psychopath at will. For the most part, it was an ability to control what he wanted short term, which let him completely control his emotional status.
