EH.

[[X]ue Fang]

He admits that he has been away for God-knows how long, years even, and yet didn’t even have the decency to bid his friends farewell nor inform them where he’s going, when he’s coming back, better yet if he’s still coming back. He left, just like that, well-nigh declaring he never existed in the first place. Sure Arche had his reasons why he had to leave, and even if he didn’t, there’d be plenty of time to come up with something…prudently plausible…until he run into a mate who’d undoubtedly bombard him with questions.

So far he’s only come up with 3 coughpoint-blankcoughcoughexcuses:
1.) He’s been on a treacherous expedition to the Democratic Republic of Congo to study tropical frogs (except that possibly the entire population of the world could instantly tell that he’d rather shave his head off than touch them slimy frogs. EW. But not thanks! >.>)

2.) He’s gone into hiding because he unwittingly offended a flamboyant karate expert (all jokes aside, the man was BEYOND pissed <.<)

3.) He’s eaten a poisonous crisp and may be dying at this very moment (erm, or so he’s been told by the exaggerating voices in his head.)

Just at the mere thought of this made the demon shapeshifter grimace painfully again, while smacking his forehead, muttering, 'Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP! o.0;;'

Ooookay, moving on, one hand on his now throbbing noggin and the other faintly swaying back and forth (never in a girly girl manner) to even out his rather adrift pace, Arche hesitantly stopped on his tracks, took his time blinking twice, then thrice, before sloooooooowly tilting his head up when finally realization hit him hard AND deep…where the deuce is heading to again?!

“Night Club?” He asked to no one in particular, well not if you count the newly-formed committee in his head. “No, don’t do this Arche, don’t let the madness dominate y--!”

“Outta my way space-waster! Ahahaha!”

And as if madness embodied itself in a form of blonde goo and a hint of wild turquoise streak here and there, a pair of smutty hands instinctively shoved him inside the said club. Once he’s in, Arche’s only thought was to get out of there as soon as possible. In other words NOW. That’s when the goo from earlier spoke/hollered,

“C’mon dance you sissy! Ahahahah!”

(Anyone valiant enough to stand up to this idiot? ^^[/color]

[Zephel]

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crappity, crap..." Syani muttered - or more like chanting - under her breath, running from what else than the pack of angry mobs. Well, she knows better not to walk alone in the night, but who can resist a free stealing night at the library...well, everybody that possess sanity.

With a book in one of her arms, the half-vampire tottered her way to the nearest building she could hide her jinxed face, and well, once she realized she's in that terrifying mushy place again, Syani's jaw dropped. "Noo....no, no, no, no--"

She was just about to escape from there, when the mob blocked the door. "Right. Of course. Typical." And she's off rummaging through the people, trying to hide her extremely obvious red cloak. Well, that shouldn't be too hard, since its now started to tangle one of the people in the crowd, who happens to be Arche.

"Gaackk...achh....suffocate....."

[[X]ue Fang]

Arche, was, well, to put it in plain English, downright confounded. Everything happened so quickly his mind thought that it was his whole life flashing before him. Thank God it wasn’t. He didn’t even understand half of what of this stranger was saying, and when he did, he regretted it almost instantaneously.

Playing dead now would be ten years too late as a response, the young boy reckoned. Ah to hell with it. A little dance never hurt nobody, in fact right at this moment, it could even extend his life. Fingers crossed! Just as when he was about to humiliate himself in front of the half-naked, stoned crowd…fate intervened.

“Don’t make me repeat myself kid! Ahahaha! Oh and hey! Good thinking bringing your buddy here! The more the merrier I say! Ahahaha!” came another yell from the brash bloke, inviting more unnecessary attention from the thrilled mob. Great, just what he needed--in the opposite world!

The youngster blinked for the umpteenth time. “Eh?” And that’s when he turned around and realized that albeit the stranger’s appearance screaming the contrary, he’s actually telling the truth. Now whoever’s daughter is this, bless them, at least he won’t be the only one leaving this place as the night’s biggest loser.

[Zephel]

Syani soon found herself tangled tightly with a stranger, who happens to have the most unusual hair colour. Well, the hair is all she's able to catch sight of before she tripped on thin air and tumbled down of the dancing floor, along with this youngster since they're both tied up in that rediculously large cloak of hers.

"Owff!!!" The half-vampire breathed out as Arche weights her down behind her. Of course, she expected this. The only two things that ever happened in her life is embarrassment -like what's happening now with the crowd roaring in laughter, pointing to the two losers on the floor- and near-deaths -like what's rummaging through the laughing crowd with torches and pitchforks- but never BOTH of them at the same time. Not surprisingly, it's happening right on that moment.

"Brilliant." She blowed a piece of hair from her eyes, annoyed of her stroke of luck.

[[X]ue Fang]

“Ahahahahaha!”

“Uh do you mind--?”

“Bahahahahaha!”

“Is it okay--?”

“GWAHAHAHAHA!”

“Fine. You look like a drunken idiot anyway.” Arche braced himself for the worst. Places like these usually harbor the kinds of people lacking refinement, and with alcohol to boot, blimey, he wouldn’t be surprised to have his body scattered around the globe the next day he wakes up. Especially with the choice of words he just said two seconds ago. Right about now, they should be going crazy how best to dice him up.

But nothing came…a golly chance!

The demon-shapeshifter whirled around ever so carefully so as not to kill both of them from suffocation. Ah now he sees the sly culprit. Naturally, Arche would’ve greeted her out of habit and then ask her why him of all the people there, but now is not the time. He tried freeing himself from this second mess he’s gotten in…but failed to do so. Damn that perfect knot.

“Oooookay. Uhm yea, it wont move at all @.@;” He gave it one last scan before facing the girl in front of him. Sooner or later the hyper dude would snap out of his own self-made ecstasy indicating the second round of bully-the-shorty-wont-ya, so the options they have now is either make a helluva run for it TOGETHER despite the current fix they’re in or…[/color]

[Zephel]

Or...something amazingly non-cliched just occured that might just save the two unlucky laughing-stock-of-the-day from further humiliation and/or deaths. Speaking of deaths, Syani's ever-faithful angry mob has spotted the incredibly eye-catching red cloak that caused this...tangle.

Well, this kid managed to twist his way from behind and now is face-to-face with her. "Oh great, you're a boy. ...Hey wait, you're a boy!" Syani grinned at that realization and turned to look at this guy, which is almost about her height, though strangely appear smaller than her.

She could hear the chief of the mob yelling their national-anthem-ish speech to her, so she has to do it quick, as after much experience, that speech could only last two minutes before the pitchforks came poking their way. So now, she has to resort to her final option; her fear.

"Dude, I need you to kiss me. ...On the cheek. Like, right now." She whispered, feeling that chill running down her spine for saying something to mushy. "Just do it and get ready to run...!"

[[X]ue Fang]

The bi-haired lad was confused forward slash disturbed by her favor, and even more rattled forward slash alarmed by the urgency of it. A pair of suspicious yellow-ish orbs scrutinized the seriousness in her facial/vocal expression…[slowly] all the way down to those slightly-parted, pale reddish colour, moist lips.

Sinfully tempting but WAAAAYY too soon, Arche Kraine finally decided, slapping the back of his head mentally for even thinking about doing something BEYOND mental. ‘And yet SHE asked for it. C’mon man, it’s not like YOU’RE pushing yourself here. The lamb’s already offering herself—now grow a pair of balls and go get her tiger!—or lion!’

Ugh. Another splash of pain in the head. The threat of the approaching blood-thirsty mob plus the now dead-serious bloke from earlier is enough pain in the arse thank you very much indeed! “I-I beg your p-pardon? @_@;” was all the youngster can come up with, suddenly feeling dumb after hearing himself stammered like that.[/color]

[Zephel]

Syani cleched her jaw tight, not wanting to repeat her god-forsaken offer again, but then again, he's just a boy after all. She can't blame him. "T-that's okay, I'll activate it myself." The half-vampire smiled with a sweatdrop, thinking the shock of a kiss is more than likely to make her telekinesis explode the whole club than her manually activated one. ...Plus the difficulty of merely triggering it.

She has to try though. Try or die. Yeah, fine way to put it. Shutting her eyes close, her concetration isn't proving to be working since the crowd are still laughing, and the thought of death pretty much killed her focus. "...I can't do it." She sighed in dissapointment, hanging her head down, and bumping her forehead to the guy's head.

"Ow! Sorry." Having her hands tied up proved to be a disadvantage when she can't massage her head. "Um..okay, let's just...try to hop away silently..." She suggested, completely dropping the kissing idea and just stick to death for an option.

[[X]ue Fang]

(Alpha-Male Voice) ‘UGH I sometimes wonder why you’re the one out and I’m the one staying in your head when CLEARLY I implement better judgement.’

With that much said, and very much staying true to its words, Arche unconsciously lifted his hands up, his delicate fingers teasing the girl’s long strand of hair. The young shape-shifter then inched slightly closer to Syani, a Cheshire grin appearing on his face. Oh this is going to be so much fun!

“Alright then, you asked for this.” He whispered huskily, something that is just not quite right yet for a boy his age, yet is intriguingly fitting for this situation. Finally closing the gap between them, the bi-haired demon captured her lips, gently at first before nibbling her lower lip, his other hand finding itself circling around her tiny waist.

In the meantime, somewhere at the back of his head and in a completely different universe altogether that only exists in Arche’s subconscious, the REAL Arche could only swallow hard and watch in wide eyes just how on Earth did this all happen. “WOAH! Is this for reals o.0?!” He nearly yelled out, pretty much still taken aback by everything that’s happening.[/color]

[Zephel]

Okay, this is so wrong, in so many methods. But hey, other than that, the whole night club is exploding! What joy! At least people can't see the pale horror Syani is expressing throughout that blasted lip-to-lip kiss...and he's just A KID for heaven's sake!

Well, thankfully, one of the freakingly defeaning explosions ended up knocking both the two-main-characters-for-this-incredibly-mushy-thread down, and untangling them from their red attacher in the process. "MY CLOAK!!!!" Syani screamed, with a burnt red cloth in her hands. With that robe off, she only wears her purple silk outfit (which is a long plaid of skirt, and a half-dress top) that does not go well with the cold atmosphere.

Turning her attention to scan where the heck is that kid, she had already set her mind in a murderous attempt to strangle him. "I said on the CHEEK, DAMMIT!!!" Standing up, she stomped through the clouds of smoke, stepping on some unconcious half-naked dancers on the way, and searched for that soon-to-be-corpse kid.

[[X]ue Fang]

Not exactly sure what went wrong this time, but the young boy in his early teens can only hope and pray hard to Heavens that, despite his body being sent flying amidst all the smoke and uncertainty going on, THAT kiss didn’t trigger the Armageddon. One minute it was all good [Syani sharing her plans on how best to escape the pickle they’re in and HE’S in control] and then the next minute his hormonal [greater emphasis on that] body lost it.

Arche quickly clamped a hand on his mouth. The memory of what happened a while ago seems to be slowly fading away it’s almost becoming vague as this other thing. Nonetheless the warmth of his lips brings just about the gist of it his red blood cells begin racing its way up his cheeks, ears and even his head. “Well that wasn’t the worst that could happen, was it?” He chuckled, his upbeat approach in life getting the best of him. But for how long?

Needless to say, his luck only lasted for 90 seconds when suddenly he sensed an immense aura with only one purpose that is to kill and to destroy…nearby. OK plenty of time to flee! The bi-haired boy turned his eyes around his surroundings and sure enough, everybody who was once bouncy and full of spirits was now practically lying lifeless. All except for him. Panic immediately engulfed Arche as he now understands/faces the source of the pissed aura.

>‘Hurry dude! Shape-shift into that hot chick! Minus the facial hair! ^^;’

>>‘Be a man and ask her hand for marriage.’

>>>‘Are you out of your mind?!’

>‘Or pull her hair, lift her skirt up when she ain’t lookin’ then run for your dear life!’

>>‘What? It’s the most sensible thing to do after what happened.’

>>>‘Better yet are you drunk and high?!’

>‘Oh I know! Kiss her again but this time as a sexy chick with a deep, manly voice! ^^;’

>>>>‘SERIOUSLY WHOSE SON IS THIS?!’

Arche smiled goofily. “Uhm, eheh, HI! ^^;” He greeted, hoping this little gesture can appease her. If only...[/color]

[Zephel]

Amidst the blanket of smoke, Syani can detect the boy's aura easily. Usually, she can't remember the sense of anybody's aura when she's only been with them for...what, 15 minutes? But well, this kid's special. His aura is STUCK on her LIPS. ...And she doesn't have a mounthwash currently to get rid of that. ...Or maybe that aura will linger there on her mouth forever.

Her eyes shined in a menacingly life-threatening way as she spotted her target. "YOU!!! AGH, YOU...!!!" She can't even set a straight name calling argument with what just happened, and simply advanced her way towards him, cracking her fingers while doing so. The boy greeted to her like a nice little man he is...too bad now he has a pair of skinny-to-the-bone hands secured around his neck, trying to squeeze the life out of him...which pretty much felt like a massage, since the half-vampire can't even exert her energy using her rage. ...Or is it because of another reason?

"...AGH!!! You are SO lucky I owed you my life, but... ARGH!!!" Okay, strangling doesn't seem to work, so she just lift up a knee and stomp on Arche's foot. "I said on the CHEEKS!! Dammit, now I destroyed the whole building."

[[X]ue Fang]

The sight of an approaching misfortune/murder in the figure of a petit woman wordlessly threatening him and glaring daggers, arrows and all kinds of lethal objects known to mankind isn’t the kind to be taken lightly and certainly not to be shrugged off casually. Quite on the contrary, Arche was just grateful for what remains of the smoke from that elicited explosion earlier or he might just be able to make out what Syani’s saying and faint at the grimness of it.

This then reminds him of the countless of times when he should’ve been already dead because of the things he may not have done on purpose but still strictly his fault. It cost him a lot though, so much so that he wonders if his life was actually worth sparing over and over again. The rain wielder chuckled feebly, closing his eyes for a brief moment in search for that cordial face he had dearly engraved in his mind along with his brother’s favorite line:

“You need to learn to be happy by nature baby brother, because you'll seldom have the chance to be happy by circumstance.”

The funny thing is, Arche would’ve worshipped that phrase to death and beyond if it wasn’t for enough time and experience that he realized his big brother was only taking advantage of his gullibility then. And he’d wonder why Alviss always gets the bigger portion of almost everything! Unfortunately the latest addition of weight on top of him brought the demon kid back to reality, causing him to return his undivided attention to the girl currently strangling him…in vain?

The youngster patiently waited for the part where he’s supposed to be chokin’/gaspin’ for air. What, that was it?! That was the impending doom he was anticipating to shit his pants off?! Arche tilted his head, officially lost on whatever this girl’s trying to pull. That is until she stepped on his foot. Like how a dramatic wench would stomp on her innocent brother’s for not caring if she’s having a horrible bellyache for slumping 10 hotdogs and 5 milkshakes down her throat!

Okay so he’s not really as innocent as the Virgin Mary here. “AAAAAAOUUCH!” Arche let out a loud yelp, his eyes looking at hers almost pleadingly. “Must you be this viciously physical when thanking somebody? @_@;” The bi-haired massages his now swelling or could be bleeding foot.[/color]

[Zephel]

Syani gritted her teeth, trying to surpress her raging desire to just blast this guy into space with here exploding telekinesis. "Dude, I will be as viciously physical as I want when you just INVADED my personal space!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!!" The dark-haired girl twitched her eye, wanting to squish this kid, but...he's...so...adorably cute at this point, actually.

And he has a point too, so Syani shut her eyes closed, actually thinking of visiting one of the teachers there in school to erase her memory on this extremely unfortunate event, and simply slapped her head to avoid thinking about it more.

After a much-needed deep breath, and kick on an unconcious man for good measures on channeling off her rage, she sat beside the boy to mutter a barely audible "Sorry..." after a moment, then slapped her face again...with both her hands covering her eyes, unable to face this dude who just happens to have done something that can be considered as 'taboo' to her.

"Sheesh, okay, THANK YOU. I owe you more than you know. Just...don't EVER bring that..that accident...up ever EVER again. To ANYONE."

She looked up at him, half glaring, and then pouted. "It's not fair... I'm supposed to be angry at you, but you're just so adorable I can't bring myself to... ...Curses."

[[X]ue Fang]

Having a fit woman throwing fits of fury in front of you can be interpreted in many ways, Arche knew this much and yet for some reasons, it’s only coming across to him in two customs; undoubtedly scary and unbelievably sexy. Did he just--oh God the smoke must’ve cleared out by now and straight it goes doing his head in >.<!

The young kid slowly repositioned his other foot out of harm’s way and eventually his entire body just in case the limp bodies everywhere fail to satisfy as Syani’s outlet of letting her steam off anymore.

So when the aforementioned savage sat beside him, mumbling something resembling an apology, Arche nearly jumped out of his skin. He expected his face being slammed on the floor, eyes clawed out, hair dyed pink GEESH anything a liar, thief, rapist, or cheater deserves but not an apology/thanks. Because in all honesty, it stings more.

Arche waves his hands fretfully, still avoiding locking gazes with her. “No no NO!! I should be the ONE apologising not YOU! I’m sorry; I’m very VERY sorry >.<” Young Kraine would’ve supplied/reminded her of the reason why again but decided he still likes to keep his life...

“And if it’s any consolation, you’ve the softest and warmest lips I’ve ever had @_@;”...or not.

Cue in Syani’s ‘adorable’ comment. [/color]
