    OOC: Backstory: Nib was in an accident, and now he can see demons, and all sorts of supernatural phenomena. Today he meets a demon, and is freaked out by it. He is a skeptic, and can’t bring himself to believe it’s true.


    Nib walked to school, it was another day in his boring life. Not much had happened to him since the accident. For some reason, today felt different, it was nice outside, a 60 degree day, summer was at it’s end, the fall was eagerly awaiting it’s return.


    He sighed, why couldn’t his life take on an exciting twist. He schedule was always the same, school, football practice, and then back to his house. It wasn’t his lack of a social life, he was incredibly social. Since his accident he hadn’t been the same. He could swear he could see shadowy figures lurking behind people, and sometimes he swore they could see him too, this caused him to choose to stay at home. He got to his locker, and went to class, another day in his soon-to-be-not-so-boring life.

    Kagura twirled a single stand of her black.... Brown hair around her long slender, clawed, black nailed fingers. Double.'she always saw her concealment and herself. It was grand Not. Softly she closed her locker fish net gloves riding up her hands black lips painted perfectly to cover the blood red they held naturally.

    Nib talked with his friends, and joked around like regular. He didn’t once mention anything about the floating mass by the teacher. He tried to avoid it, the doctors had told him it was probably an aftereffects of the medicine he was taking for the headaches. So, he ignored them.


    Kagura walked into the classroom. Nib brightened. He walked over to his friend that he hadn’t seen for a while. “Kagura!” Nib hugged his friend. “How ya been?”

    Kagura laughed slightly. Concealed she was short large chested, pepiete, brown hair fish net gloves and stockings a over all goth or emo look with brown hair and honey eyes. Unsealed she had some muscle by was lithe and she had black nails red eyes red lips violet eye lids. Major differences. She hugged him in return smiling "How are you" she said smiling up at him. She though he saw honey, but she did not know he would see blood eyes and ebony hair.

    Nib took a step back, a bit shocked. Had she changed her appearance? He shrugged, it had been a long time in the hospital, if this was her fashion trend, who was he to judge.


    “Hey, Kagura, are you wearing contacts?” The floating mass of black smoke seemed to take notice of them. Nib bit his lower lip. He wanted to go see the doctor again. He returned to his usual self.


    “Oh, and your hair looks nice, this look is…different, but it still looks good on you.”

    Kagura looked at him for a split second like he had two heads. Her elfin ears twitched pointedly as she realized. Nib was seeing thought her concealment. Could he see her red lips, the claws, would he be able to see her fangs if she opened her mouth to wide. Self conscious she placed her hands behind her back "The accident must have effect your sight nib" he had to think it was fake. She was even more worried about keeping her aura close now. He could not find out!

    Nib looked down, feeling sad. His dreams rested on him not having any brain truama, the doctors had said that no evidence of trauma was detected, yet he still wondered. Her words struck home. Nib smiled weakly.


    “Yeah, probably.”


    The bell rang and everyone went to their seats, ready to start a new day.


    OOC: We can skip to the end on school days. It’s more for show, than anything really, or we can have school scenes, totally up to you.

    Lets skip to when he sees Kagura and another demon fighting
    You start

    Nib decided to skip out of football practice, the coach had understood, besides he was merely a defensive end, not much would be affected. He walked to the park, just wandering around, not really doing anything but thinking. He still saw the same gaseous clouds every once in a while. He got to the park and laid on the grass near a pond. He stared at the clouds, wondering why he was seeing these things, and why Kagura had changed her whole wardrobe choice. Now, thinking back on it, she seemed different physically too.


    He closed his eyes, next thing he knew he was asleep, dreaming of clouds. A sharp thud awoke him, he got up and looked around. It was dark outside, he cursed, his parents would be worried. He started to get up, and again heard another thud. Curious he went to investigate. What he saw shocked him.

    Kagura growled on a turbulent note her eyes glowing in the darkness of the park. Of course it was caused by the shadow demon before her. A fellow school mate. No Kin to a wind wielder like herself. Her claws dropped in his blood as he snarled at her "Wind B**ch" he hissed harshly claws tearing at her stomach "You little" with a thud the 'decorative' fan she normally carried at her waist came down square on his back and then between his legs when she changed the angle sending him flying back before she snapped the device open "I am sick of this game, I've had a horrible day, seeing as my best friend now see's past my concealment, so I am going to simply kill you now" she lifted her fan as the shadow demon got to his knees "Wind princess I'm Sorrry,'I will never do it again" she laughed listening to him beg as she slowl raised her harmless
    Looking but deadly weapon:

    Nib looked on with wide eyes, his friend, had just killed the creature he swore was fake. A phantom. Kagura looked like something out of nightmare, claws, fangs, and a bloody tool. He had to fight back tears, he didn’t know if what he saw was real, or if he was loosing his mind. Neither were good signs.


    She looked down at him, Nib, scared started to run away.

    Kagura was still enjoying the taste of the shadow demons blood and flesh when she heard the snap of a twig. It drew her attention blood mouth to glance over. Her heart skipped a beat. NIB! Did he know it was her? How long had he been there? Did he see her kill the shadow demon? Instinct took over and she lunged racing along tracking his scent. This was bad! Blood ran down the front of her night gown as she ran through the park woods small remains of it being torn here and there by branches. Her foot caught. A sudden animal like yelp burst forcefully from her lungs as her face hi the ground. Horrible day. A few tears leaked but she quickly pushed them aside. She lay there. The wind changed. She had used to much power throughout the day, training in the morning, concealment, making her concealment stronger, fighting, playing with one of her kin, fighting, then killing the shadow demon. She hardly had the energy to move considering how strongly she was concealed to those who could not see through.

    She isn't out her eyes are open and everything she was just face down tired and refused to get up
    Emotional+ physicial strain= she does not want to move

    OOC: My bad! Fixed


    Nib was still running when he heard a yelp and a thud. He stopped. He was panting, and gulping in air. Had something happened to her. He was torn, between the nightmare Kagura, and the Kagura he knew. He hated it, but she was his friend. He turned back around, more cautious than ever. He walked for a bit before he saw his friend, monster, whatever lying on the ground.


    He gathered his nerves, and spoke.


    "K...Kagura?"

    At the sound of nibs voice her sharp ears pricked. She felt her heart tear more. He was so catious! He knew she was dangerous, thought she would kill him! "Nhhh" the sound she made when she was just drained emotionally and bodily. He had heard it before. When her boyfriend of several life times cheated on her and she insisted on laying in his bed that night. She had been there when he climbed in, had grabbed him and regrettably used her demonic strength to hold him in bed. He had been okay in the end through. She didnt even shift, her gown hanging on her in slight tatters, blood smeared under her hands, and just out of his sight around her mouth.

    Nib was unsure what to do or say. “Kagura…are you ok?” he asked with genuine concern. He wondered if the blood was hers or if it belonged someone, or something else. He offered her a hand. She seemed exhausted.

    Her clawed fingers dug into the dirt as he spoke. So he went from terror to concern "Your Biplolar Human" she tried to put as muh venom and hatred into her voice as she could. Averagely this was no issue but the emotion was not there at all, so she was unsure how convincing she sounded. However a menecaing laugh was released into the dirt as she pushed herself up. Her eyes still glowed like blood, like the blood that dripped down her mouth and neck. None of it was hers. It was all much darker then here nearly black. She let her to the dart out to lick some up from her hands as she stood. Nib had made his choice. Fear. Though it made her tremble nothing would change that.

    Human…….. That single word reverberated in his head. Was she saying she wasn’t human. Nib didn’t know what to think, he was torn in two. The primal human part that wanted to run and hide, and the part that was Kagura’s friend. She laughed, menacingly. Nib once again felt tendrils of fear. He held back a torrent of emotions. The sight of her licking the blood on her face was sickening.


    His hand was still outstretched, and he was on the verge of turning around. He couldn’t help it, years of evolution had shaped the human behavior. Flight, or fight. Those were basic responses in his DNA. Fight, was out of the question. Flight was starting to become an ever more appealing prospect.


    “Kagura…..are you saying….that you’re not human?”

    The horrid fear she smelled rolling from nib made her stomach do summer salts. Two reasons. One she was the cause. Two he was so weak being so scared so quick. His shaking was ebbing he primal parts of her that were unchecked. The part that wanted to chase somehting helpless and scared. She knew she wouldn't give in. Knew she would not harm him. That did not stop the urges form making her heart race, pupils vanish, claws and fangs elongate or anything else! At his question she broke out in a laugh darker then he might surrounding them. As her mouth opened to speak moonlight poured through a break in be clouds into her ivory skin "Do I Look Human?" Her voice sounded like a taunt as she stared up at nib "What happened before, did that seem human" she said referring to the fight her fan still hung limply as her waist blood eyes staring at him.

    Nib said nothing at all. She didn’t look human, it was a tiny spark of hope that had prompted the foolish question. He turned around and started walking home. He convinced himself it was a nightmare. He kept telling himself he was dreaming, in the morning he would wake up, and share the funny dream with the true Kagura.
