Hiei's face was more or less blank when Anaka spoke. He wasn't sure how to respond to what she said, or if a response was even expected in this situation. He thought maybe she was trying to comfort him. His eyebrows  involuntarily raised slightly at the thought. He'd spent nearly the entire day with her, more than he had with anyone in a long time. But he still didn't understand her in the slightest. That's probably what years of general isolation did to a person; it took away their ability to understand others.<br/><br/>Anaka stood up to leave and said something. Hiei nodded, confirming their plans for tomorrow. He watched her leave, but stayed sitting there for a while. After a moment he stood and returned their dishes to the bartender without a word. Soon he was walking up the stairs and out the door. It had been night out side for a while now and the air was starting to cool down.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">How about it? Let's go kill a few demons,</span>Alastor whispered wickedly inside of him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I need sleep,</span>Hiei replied.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">How about killing some humans then?</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">What humans?</span>Hiei retorted.<span style="font-style: italic">The Hunters are the only ones around now a days. Besides, I've already told you no.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Why not? You certainly don't seem to like them. Unless you're starting to have feelings for that girl?</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">You sure are talkative lately. Keep annoying me and I won't kill any demons for a week.</span><br/><br/>Alastor laughed,<span style="font-style: italic">I'd like to see you try.</span>Luckily he shut up after that.<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>Yami leaned over Hatsu, watching him examine the weapon. "How does it work?" Hatsu asked. "There's no trigger, and there's no spot to put in bullets."<br/><br/>"It has all the bullets inside of it," Yami replied. "See that panel where your trigger finger will sit? Focus electricity to that finger and the panel will register it, firing the gun. Go ahead. Aim it at the wall and try it out."<br/><br/>Hatsu settled the gun in his right hand. His trigger finger curved around and settled on the panel. He brought a shock to this finger and there was a buzz. Hatsu's arm was thrown back from the recoil as a little metal arrow head like thing came out the other end. It embedded itself deep in the metal wall of the warehouse. Attached to the back end of the arrow was a very thin metal wire that trailed all the way back to the eye of the gun.<br/><br/>Hatsu rubbed his shoulder which hurt from the recoil. "You should hold it with two hands until you get stronger," Yami advised. It holds a lot more kick than a normal gun, especially if you use more electricity. You'll control the force of the fire with your electricity. You'll have to get a feel for distance. If you don't put enough power into it it may not reach its target. Or you could do a major over-shot. There are twelve of those arrow bullets inside. You'll have to trigger the shots repeatedly, because you can only shoot one at a time. Now you see that switch on the side?"<br/><br/>Hatsu looked at the side of the gun. There was a little sliding switch with only two settings. "Yes," he said.<br/><br/>"If you put it on the other setting, the wires will detach from the arrow bullets. That's telekinesis mode. It's far easier to control the movements of the arrow bullets when they're not restricted by wires."<br/><br/>"So the other one's electricity mode?" Hatsu asked.<br/><br/>"Yes," Yami said. "Because you can send electricity down the wires, straight into your target. But we're not working on that tonight. Tonight you're going to get used to firing the gun and you'll learn how to aim." He smiled. "I'll run around and I want you to try and hit me."<br/><br/>"But how will I know if I hit you?" Hatsu asked. "It'll just pass right through you."<br/><br/>"I'll let you know," Yami said. "Go."
