His answer was not something that she had been expecting and she made sure to hide the slight disappointment that she had. She could sense that he was concerned now and that didn't really ease her mood at this moment. So they were both clueless as to who had made this mission happen. Her anxiety levels made her feel uneasy, she wasn't sure what to expect when they left Japan. It worried her only beause she wouldn't know who she would be facing. It could possibly be her mother, which was very unlikely, though Shizu had this feeling it could have been a member of her lat family. Sure, she had been told that her mother had passed on, but could she really believe everything that village said? She had lived a life of lies, so maybe she would slowly begin to find out the truth in things.<br/><br/>As knew not of anyone else who knew the predicament withing the viillage stopped within time. The only people she could think of were the people who came to have meetings with her stepfather. Maybe this was all a plot to get rid of him. She didn't understand how they would know about him and he would know about the modern world, but she had never questioned it. Who was she to question something that her stepfather did? She had no say in anything, like most women, in the village. It didn't help that she was Oni, making her opinion hated and unneeded. She frowned slightly and the more she thought about it. She honestly had second opinions about this. Her heart race accelerated and she could feel it pounding in her throat, her mouth felt dry. She wondered if Azrai had the same concerns or did he not think anything of it?<br/><br/>"I see, well I suppose we shall find out when we reach our destination," she murmured softly. She fell silent allowing her mind to run through all the scenarios in her head, all of them could be possible at this point. She could understand that if they were trying to rid that scum of her stepfather, then rescuing her would lure him out. But what if that wasn't the case? What if one of his foreign colleagues wanted to have her for themselves? The thought made her sick but she when that it wasn't entirely impossible. Should she voice her worries and fears to Azrai? But what could he possibly say to that? He would just look at her and go into a moment of deep thought. She felt panicked though she refused to show it, if she was indeed going back to the same life she had, then she would accept it. It would probably make the other sad to know after all his hard work that she would humbly accept what Kami-sama had thrown at her, but if it was the life she was destined to live, then she would.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the post offcie, she allowed herself to be distracted. It was something that she definitely needed at this point. She looked at all the metal boxes within the wall, there were so many and people were opening them with a key, pulling out white papers and brown boxes. How weird. She smiled slightly as  she was handed her very first treasures of the modern world. Her hands turned over the plastic card, she looked at the her face of the card. This was fascinating! She had a record of what she looked like, which wasn't as bad as she expected. She had thought she looked more exhuasted and a little more beaten up.Thankfully she looked normal, a little paler that she would have liked, but overall she was pleased with the outcome of the identification card. "I like this a lot, please send my regards to your colleague," she said, her voice laced with awe and excitemnet. She flipped the small book that held her passport, she smiled a bit realizing that she had something that was real about her life. She had an identity now.<br/><br/>She followed him to leave and noticed that he was looking at the police car outside. She tilted her head to the side, she could see that the car held some sort of authorative aura. Perhaps it was the more modern Shinsengumi, riding around in those mechanical beasts. From what she knew of law enforcement, the generals were very polite always trying to help out the citizens when somethings was a problem. Maybe those thoughts have changed in Japan, she knew that even before her time law enforcement officers were high with power, perhaps they were now. Azrai looked over at her and she nodded her head slowly, not sure why he was so uncomfortable around the officer but sh edidn't question it. They made an easy escape into the public and she sensed his relief. This brought about even more questions about him and she pursed her lips together, deciding to let it go.<br/><br/>They moved closer to the hotel, something telling her that it may not be safe. Then again they would not be safe in any part of Japan. Her eyes stared at the hotel on the horizon and she decided that if there was trouble...then she would feed. That would have been a message from Kami-sama and she would happily take it. She was brought out of her thoughts when he said her name, she blinked at bit getting the image of feeding out of her mind before she looked at him, listening to his question. She tilted her head slightly as she thought about it. "I am...not nervous to leave Japan. I am more sad than anything else. Even though I lived in one small area here, Japan is still my home and it is all that I have ever known." She looked at the buildings that were around them. "I am saddened because I have missed out on what is truly Japan and I will not be able to experience. I am sure, maybe, one day I will return." She nodded her head, even though she wasn't sure if was confident that she would come back.<br/><br/>"I am nervous about the flying part and I am nervous about what will happen after that but...I am also very curious. I wish to explore more of the world," she said while glancing over at him with a gentle smile. She looked nervously around as they neared the entrance of the hotel, she knew that in the public she probably say what she was about to. When they entered the building, she bowed her head at the innkeeper, uttering a belated 'Good morning.' When they reached the elevator, she turned around as the door was closing, her eyes lifted up, only to see some of the men from the restaurant stroll in as the elevator doors closed. She was wide eyed, before she glanced over at Azrai, knowing that he should have seen them. The elevator moved with a jerk before slowly bringing them to the fourth floor.<br/><br/>Her heart pulsed in her ears, she could hear the hunger that was drive her Oni side. Closing her eyes, she leaned her head on the side of the elevator, she was very aware of everything at this point. She swallowed slowly counting in her head, telling herself that she would be alright. "Azrai," she said in a strained voice. "I know that this might not be the most appropriate time and place to say this, but I really...need to feed." There was desperation in her voice and she pressed herself close to the walls of the elevator, enjoying the cool feeling. She felt weak and close to changing, which was something that she had been trying to avoid. Ever since Azrai had mentioned that she feed from the enemy, her Oni side had been hoping and praying that it caught sight of a henchman. Now was the worst possible time have seen one. Not only was she trying to keep under contro but she was also trying to remain calm in this enclosed space. Opening her eyes, they had changed to a bright saffron hue, she watched as the red numbers changed from two to three. She groaned wanting it to go faster. She needed to get out of her, least she turn on Azrai.<br/><br/>She knew she wouldn't but he may not know that and she wanted to keep that small amount of trust they had. She trusted him to protect her and he trusted her not to attack him. When the elevator stopped and the doors opened, she was the first to exit, panting heavily. She leaned against the wall, sweat making her bangs cling to her forehead. This was the worst feeling. She was was the halfway point of changing, which made her want to vomit, to pass out from the pain. She shuddered at the cold chill that went down her spine, this was definitely the most inappropraite place to change. She inhaled deepy trying to remind herself that she was in control, but the Oni within her was ready to break free. She allowed herself a few moments to calm down.<br/><br/>She turned to face Azrai, though she looked like she was seriously having an internal struggle. "I apologize, I should have been more restrained," she said in an exhausted manner. Her eyes stayed their yellow color, though it seemed that was all that she had allowed to change. It was a very diffcult thing for her to do, to stay in the halfway point. She had wanted to stay in better control of herself, but it had been six months and that was her limit. She could smell the scent of the men coming up through the emergency stairwell. She tensed, her jaw clenching tightly. All she needed was one out of the three that were coming. She could bring one to the room and kill him. It was as simple as that.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Elias grinned as he looked at the message. So they got everything that they needed. That was perfect; he would be able to sleep with great ease. He had already been in a good mood; seeing how he had successfully hacked into the computer of that brat before and destroyed all his heard work. He snorted a bit wondering why anyone was trying to mess with him. His skills were impeccable and he would not allow an intruder to soil his reputation. With a slight yawn, he sipped on his fresh cup of coffee, going through a few more things and perfecting a new virus he had been working on.<br/><br/>He glanced at monitor one as another notification popped up. He nodded to himself and searched around on monitor four. A frown came to his face and he rubbed the scruff of his five o'clock shadow, he searched more only to get the same results. He let out a sigh and sent a reply back to Azrai. 'There's a flight back to Tel Aviv at three in the morning. One stop in Istanbul and you'll be home free. You'll be taking Turkish Airlines and don't worry about the price, I've got it covered.' He knew that their jobs paid well at times but then again with all the travelling that was involved they needed a constant supply of money. He also knew that Azrai hardly ever enjoyed spending money but it was necessary for the job. Besides, he liked Azrai enough to spend his money on the male.
