Hatsu nodded. He didn't feel quite ready to die yet either. For a while, he leaned against a wall and simply watched Atma sharpen his daggertail. For a moment, he thought it might be a good weapon for him to learn how to use, because he could wrap it around an enemy then send a shock down it. He wouldn't have to worry as much about aiming. But on the other hand, a weapon like that might well take years to master, and he wasn't up for the dedicated practice aspect of it. Still though, Hatsu felt he'd need some sort of weapon other than his demon powers if he was going to survive.<br/><br/>After a moment, Atma told Hatsu to go inside the hide out and get something to eat and drink. He wasn't really hungry, but a glass of water sounded wonderful, since he'd refused Atma's earlier offer of water. He gave the man a slight nod and strolled into the hide out.<br/><br/>After retrieving a glass of water from the man at the bar, Hatsu picked a table near the middle of the room and sat down.<span style="font-style: italic">I think I need a weapon,</span>he thought to Yami.<span style="font-style: italic">Do you have any recommendations?</span><br/><br/>He could feel a sensation as if the demon nodded.<span style="font-style: italic">Yes actually. It's a little bit difficult to control though. I can teach you how to use it, but you'll have to go to where the weapon was left.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Where it was left?</span>Hatsu asked.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">That's right,</span>Yami replied.<span style="font-style: italic">There is only one like it, and I hid it away. After I separated with my first host they were no longer capable of using it. So I might as well teach it to you.</span><br/><br/>Hatsu had been told this before: that he was not Yami's first hunter host. He'd often wondered who was, but Yami refused to answer that question...<br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>Hiei looked at Anaka as she thanked him. He wasn't good with stuff like that. He offered her a 'hmm' and turned to watch Ayl and the others leave. That was basically his equivalent of a 'you're welcome'; I believe it's been mentioned, Hiei wasn't exactly a social butterfly.<br/><br/>She suggested leaving, and while its tone suggested it was more of a command, he didn't much mind since he'd had the same idea. Without a word, he started walking off in a different direction than Ayl and the others. He turned back briefly to say, "Well? Come on," to Anaka, before continuing on.<br/><br/>He didn't use his power and just plain walked as they weren't in any hurry as far as he could see, and she'd never be able to keep up with him. He actually did have a destination in mind though, one that may give them a clue as to Yami's location. But unless she asked him, he wasn't going to say anything. One of the mottoes he follows was: if they don't ask, don't tell. Some people happened to find this very annoying, much to his amusement.
