Hiei's expression remained passive, but a massive shiver went up his spine when Anaka unexpectedly hugged him. Metaphorically, he'd just dropped through the floor and fallen three thousand feet away from his comfort zone. She explained what was going on while she embraced him. It sort of made sense, but he still didn't like it.<span style="font-style: italic">My regular tone?</span>he wondered.<span style="font-style: italic">The only one you ever use, dimwit,</span>Alastor replied. Alastor chuckled, thinking that Anaka figured the even tone Hiei always used would naturally scare the guy off when he thought Hiei was her boyfriend. He didn't express this to Hiei though, knowing his host got touchy when he talked too much.<br/><br/>The situation only became more awkward when she grabbed his hand after finally letting go of him. The man who seemed to be harassing her said something and she asked him to lie to him.<span style="font-style: italic">What level is his demon?</span>Hiei asked Alastor.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">She told you to lie to him, not use that.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I'm not big on lying,</span>Hiei replied.<br/><br/>Alastor mumbled something about not being able to tell the difference one way or another. After receiving an internal glare from Hiei he finally responded.<span style="font-style: italic">Mid-level.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Piece of cake,</span>Hiei thought, and went about sending the man away in a way that made sense to him. He reached up and pulled up his headband. Like always, the man immediately stared straight into his third eye. "Go away," Hiei said. The man got a dazed look and immediately started walking away, off to... somewhere. Hiei pulled his headband back down and looked pointedly down at where their hands were touching, doing his best to demonstrate that he wanted her to let go now.<br/><br/>When she obliged he turned and started walking toward Ayl's little gathering. He immediately fell back into his typical mind state of not explaining without being asked.<br/><br/>---------------------<br/><br/>Hatsu looked around at the other hunters. It seemed no one else was willing to take Ayl on at the moment. He gave a slight sigh and slipped his finger guard off. It immediately transformed into his gun. He switched it into telekinesis mode and gripped the weapon firmly with two hands. He let out a slight burst of electricity and the weapon buzzed as the arrow bullet was shot forth. He didn't launch it too fast. If he did he wouldn't be able to see it well enough to manipulate its movements. He intended to have it circle back around Ayl every time it was dodged, if he could keep his focus long enough to do that.
