Jasaiah had already shaken away the intent to burn the house down. He wouldn't take that away from Drake. The kitsune could detect Ryan's unease, and it made him feel just a tad guilty. He supposed he would always feel that way, given what Dimitraeus had done to him. Then Kane had burned the house down with Ryan in it. He turned and gently cupped Ryan's face. "You may have forgiven me for exposing you to the demon that hunted me for two thousand years, but I will forever be sorry that such things happened to you." He let his face go, but continued on. "I would never ask you to do anything that you would be uncomfortable with doing. I have no intent to burn the house down, and even if I did I would not have you here while I did it. Indeed, such horrendous deeds are on me, because underneath everything I strive towards I am still a monster." He held up a hand to silence any objections. "It is in my nature. It is who I have always been since I had only one tail. But I do work to be better towards others. Somethings are just unforgivable, and I tend to be a monster only to those who have already done a great deal of harm to others."<br/><br/>His breath caught suddenly, able to pinpoint Drake's location, as well as that something was indeed wrong. He swore softly in Japanese. "I fear Drake is in more danger than we first intended. Come." He held out his hand, and as soon as Ryan took it they were traveling straight to Drake's locations. Vampires had already gathered around the area that Drake had killed the vampire. Humans were one thing. Killing other supernatural beings, especially when they belonged to a group, was a particularly nasty business. It didn't take long to realize that they were in a part of town where no humans went unless they were already exposed to the supernatural. A supernatural underground, as it were. Jasaiah took off the charm once more and shoved it into the pouch at his side. He growled in warning at the vampires, keeping Ryan close. An angel would be a great treat for them and they almost forgot they were hunting Drake to look at Ryan.<br/><br/>"He is mine," he hissed. It was for show. Hopefully Ryan would play along, for both their sakes. "As is the vampire inside."<br/><br/>A male vampire, rather grotesque in appearance, as some vampires appeared, came forward. The power that came from him was strong, but Jasaiah let loose his own aura, causing most of the vampires to cringe away. The vampire still pressed forward. "You can't have them both, fox," he hissed.<br/><br/>Jasaiah squeezed Ryan's shoulder. "Use a protection barrier, or conjure as much light as you can. Do not stop until I say so." Then he lunged forward at breakneck speeds and grabbed the vampire by the throat. The other clawed at his arm, drawing rivulets of blood. Jasaiah growled, his silver eyes glowing. "It has been a long time since I feasted on your kind." Not to the point of killing them. It was a skill he didn't tap into often, but it was what he'd used on Dimitraeus time again. Drake would never know it...considering it killed undying creatures. The vampire shrieked as Jasaiah killed it.
