Hatsu nodded. Don't fight unless you have to. Gather any information that seems significant. He followed Atma into the shadows as they circled clockwise around the tower. Of course they were sure to stay at a safe distance from any action or movement. Hatsu new he was a rookie, and he was worried his lack of experience would cause him to miss something important. His worry increased slightly when he wasn't seeing anything at all that looked out of the ordinary.<br/><br/>Except, after a moment something began to strike him as odd. He wasn't sure if it was significant in the slightest, but he decided to point it out to Atma anyway. "Hey, Atma," he said. "Demons are chaotic right? So how come the closer we come to the tower, the more in tact the buildings are? Do they need them for something?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Hmm,</span>Yami said inside of him.<span style="font-style: italic">What is it?</span>Hatsu asked.<span style="font-style: italic">Lower level demons are needlessly destructive, but high level demons are capable of preserving what they feel is useful.</span><br/><br/>"Yami thinks," Hatsu said to Atma, "That there might be higher level demons over there, keeping the buildings preserved for some reason."<br/><br/>Still though, amateur that he was, he couldn't put together what all of this might mean.<br/><br/>-------------------<br/><br/>Hiei thought in the moment of silence she gave him. It was odd,<span style="font-style: italic">and</span>out of place. He wasn't sure why she might think he had information for her. He wouldn't deny that it was possible; he kept his eyes and ears open to whatever was going on, but it depended on what sort of information she was looking for. And as to lending help... it would depend.<br/><br/>He noticed that the next time she spoke she was using her glamor gift on him. He hated that. It didn't affect him quite as much as it did other people, he was relatively strong after all, but it made it decidedly harder for him to hide things from her. Particularly his emotions.<br/><br/>She said her next sentence after the pause, once she had shifted into her glamor speaking.<span style="font-style: italic">Her brother...</span>His eyes noticeably widened, making it painfully obvious that he knew something. He looked away from her, trying to hide it, but he knew it was useless.<br/><br/>After a moment in pointless internal debate, Hiei let out a sigh and turned back to her. "I don't know anything conclusive," he said. His tone was still even, so that must be real, not just an act. If it was it would have been taken away by her glamor speech earlier. "The demon in your brother was named Yami," he started. "About two weeks ago, I ran into Yami, and we had a brief chat. It was nothing important, he just knew my demon and they paid their respects." With his last sentence he turned to look her firmly in the eyes, "But when I met him, Yami wasn't in your brother's body. He wasn't in any body. So I have no idea what sort of state your brother's in right now, but at the very least, he's no longer bound to his demon."<br/><br/>Now Hiei looked away again, turning to make out whatever he could of the battle scene far away. You could see a sort of mass representing all the demons, and Ayl's purple hair and Sam's red hair showed it was them, but other than that, it was hard to tell what was going on. "Like I said, it's not anything conclusive. So, you wanted to help them out?" He gave a slight smirk, "I'll race you."
