Puppy Power!

Dublin, Ireland. What a crappy place to be in after that Amarius debacle. At least he'd calmed down his alpha, albiet that bloodied him up quite a bit. But oh well. He was released back into the world of the living, in his grey sweater, black slacks, black dress shoes, and white button up shirt underneath the sweater.

The five foot two boy had purple-grey hair and bright yellow eyes. He was also fairly well tanned, though didn't look particularly muscular. He was a werewolf. A young werewolf. Who just arrived in Dublin. New sights, new smells, new noises. Even with his ear plugs, he was getting very dizzy. As often happens when he's in a new place.

And there were no scents for him to follow. No scents to guide him. Scenting the air once more, he picked it up. A shinigami...maybe? There was something else there. Getting up from the swing he was sitting at, he tracked it. When finding the man, he latched on hesitantly onto his sleeve...and simply walked with him, Nick's eyes glazed over in a comfortable confusion now that he had his guide.

"Why is the hell would there be any information out here..." Kairu thinks to himself as he shakes is head, '... I'm gonna have to beat him if he wasted my time' Kairu was told by a informant he does not usually deal with that some information about the Hōgyoku that Kairu was seeking was heard in Dublin,Ireland.

It was hard to find any leads on the Hōgyoku so Kairu would move on anything he heard, he didn't much other choice so regretfully he went. Of course the first thing immediately when he arrived it began to rain. So already having a case of bad luck and having no idea where to look in Dublin for his information he just decided he would stay awhile and relax till something happened to pop up.

While roaming in hope to find a decent place to stay the night he happened to come by a five foot two boy who happened to be walking towards Kairu, he had purple-grey hair and bright yellow eyes. Kairu mostly noticed the eyes' as he loved looking deep into peoples eyes'.

Then suddenly and surprisingly the boy had latched onto Kairu's sleeve. He looked around almost like he was panicking because it wasn't often that a child would grab onto him that he had no clue who he was, after a moment he settled down tho. He like children anyway and Kairu noticed that the boy looked somewhat lost and confused, but Kairu wasn't from around there either and wouldn't really know where to bring the boy or where to even bring himself. After looking into his yellow eyes' he couldn't help but take him with him though he couldn't just leave this yellow eyed' boy in the rain.

"Are you looking for something yourself.. or perhaps lost?" Either way he was getting sick of the rain and the boy looked somewhat wet as well so he would first decide to find and place for shelter from the weather first. "Come with me to get out of the rain and we shall figure out what were doing then.'

Kairu grabbed his hand from his sweater to hold it in his hand as he began to walk forward in search.

It started raining. But Nick paid it no mind. Nor did he really respond to the shinigami? He just held on, even when the man held his hand and dragged him. Initially. Nick had no problem with keeping up. In fact, in the direction they were going, he knew there was an abandoned apartment building. Or was that the other way? He really didn't know.

But he still spotted an abandoned house. He gently tugged the man and pointed at the place. Upon arriving, he heard a couple of mice duking it out somewhere above them. Pointing two fingers above him, he fired twin bone spikes up. The mice went silent. Then he practically cuddled into the stranger. He smelled strong. He smelled nice. "You smell nice." He practically whispered as he leaned against the guy.

He was...comfortable. If still a bit dazed. But that will last for several more days.

The boy remained unresponsive which kinda made him feel like he was just kidnapping this boy, but again he wouldn't just leave this boy out by himself in the rain, that and the boy was just to cute to leave behind. Suddenly feeling his arm tug he noticed the boy pointing toward and house. Obviously this building was abandoned as it had many broken windows and just looked like it was unkept and well abandoned. "Alright, that looks like a decent place to at least take shelter from the rain at the moment." He just said out loud to himself, knowing the child wouldn't respond anyway, he did feel slightly more content when the boy pointed out the building himself showing some sort of response.... that feeling didn't stay too long as when they entered the building he noticed the boy respond to a couple of mice fighting or making love or what ever they were doing above them by pointing two fingers above him. At first Kairu was more curious at what the boy was doing, if he just was pointing to say there were rats there or was he doing something else, suddenly the boy fired twin bone spikes up suddenly make the mice silent.

Kairu didn't really seem that surprised he just sighed just then boy cuddled into him saying that he smelled nice, Kairu replied with, "Do I just attract everyone but normal people?" he rubbed the boys head as he then went from the entrance to check the rest of the building integrity. The first room that he came up to on his left, must have been originally a living room as there were only parts of chairs left and a really moist and moldy rug, he just turned forward and kept walking as he said, 'yea that's gross next room.' He would search the house till he found a decent room to relax in with this boy.

A cloaked figure moved through the rain, watching a shinigami and a boy from a good distance. He was downwind of them, when they entered an old abandoned house in the streets of dublin. Alistair had finally tracked the were down, but he was not there to fight. He didn't want to condemn one so young to death, even though he'd committed some serious crimes. Maybe Alistair had grown soft, or maybe he though he could help Nick. Maybe he could blame the boys crimes on that hell bitch sinner who he'd become attached to.

He'd talked to Anna, the sinner the coalition had caught, and she had told him a few things about her mother. She was extreme, Psychotic, and she was persuasive. She could have easily twisted the boy into a monster. Hopefully Alistair could bring him back from that, though if it meant hunting town Nick's alpha he might not be able to save the boy before someone else in the coalition got to him.

By the way he'd been clinging to that shinigami, Nick was disorientated from being in the city. Alistair had suffered from the same thing when he was younger, but he'd learned to control it. Now might be a good time to try and convince Nick to join his pack, since he would be more pliable, and might not be able to resist his alpha influance. At the very least, Helena might show up and give Alistair a chance to kill her.. But who was to say.

For now, he kept his distance from the building, watching it from an alleyway, listening, making sure they didn't leave. He didn't know that shinigami, and he might be a problem. He would watch a while longer, before moving in.

Nick giggled a little at the comment, but followed him to explore the building. The first room smelled horribly. "Smells worse than it looks." They continued on. Next, they found the kitchen. Nick didn't even need his sense of smell find the rat feces. He practically tried to drag the man away from that god awful place. The third room they found was a bed room with a hardwood floor. Wasn't so bad if it weren't for the bed. "Somethings dead in that bed...I think its a rabbit..."

He should know how a dead rabbit smells. He's hunted them and found some dead ones on his hunting trails. The next several rooms were about the same. Moldy carpet, feces, or something dead. Until they met a single room with nothing in it but a hardwood floor. On the second floor. It had a small hole in the corner, but that was it. It was just dusty.

Nick pulled the guy inside and hopefully got him to sit down. While he crawled into his lab and just cuddled into him. The rain hiding the strong heartbeat that was downwind of him. The werewolf closed his eyes and just relaxed...

As Kairu  moved away from the first room he smiled as he heard the boy giggle and comment, he was happy that the boy had begun to feel a little more comfortable and responsive. He thought to himself that he would attempt to get some information or at least a decent discussion going when they found a relaxing spot. That was if he could find a decent spot without having something dead or rotting in it, apparently wasn't going to happen, until finally after several rooms and a couple of dead rabbits they came across a empty room that the boy liked. This was easily apparent by the pulling of Kairus' arm towards the inside of the room.

The room only had hardwood flooring in it and a lot of dust, the floor seemed old as it had many scratches and chips in it but even though it creaked when walked upon it was still quite a sturdy floor. As the boy pulled Kairu onwards, Kairu stated, 'I guess this room will do." The boy pulling down on Kairus' arm to sit he would first make sure to sit on the opposite side of the room of the window, as he didn't really know what could be crawling in the cracks and crevasses of the old window, the window was at least in one piece though and was still capable of keeping wind and other elements out. After finding a nice section on the opposite wall he sat to relieve himself of his fatigue muscles from his travels , as he was getting comfy the boy then curled up in his lap to cuddle and relax himself. Kairu smiled as he thought to himself, "well I guess any sort of long discussion is off the table at the moment.' Looking down Kairu just rubbed the boys head as he said, "My name is Kairu, as long as your around me, at least while I'm here you can relax."

Kairu took the opportunity to relax as well, but from the knowledge he has gained from the past he knew you had to always be cautious and trust no one, weather that be a child or not. He would not attempt to harm or even treat the child poorly but he would still be cautious, he would close his eyes' to relax as well but he wouldn't sleep. The sounds of the rain as it picked up outside made him relax a little more as he could hear it beat against the window, he enjoyed the sound of the rain it made him feel at ease.

As he relaxed he thought to himself, "Tommorow I'll have to go out and seek out information of the possible whereabouts of the Hōgyoku, not like I could do much about that today though, there wouldn't be too many fools out to chat in weather like today.' Kairu just tapped his foot slowly to not disturb the boy, as Kairu was deep in thought.

They were inside for a good while before he decided to move in and try confront the werewolf. As he stepped out from under an overhang, a man approached and pulled a knife on him. "Here, lad, hand over yer wallet yeah? Or i'll-" Alistair gave him a love tap in the face, knocking the man to the ground. He took the knife and stuffed a twenty euro note into the thief's pocket. "Don't rob people." He said, walking away. the Man groaned a sorry.

Alistair moved to the front door and looked around, before pushing it open and slipping in. He sniffed the air, and followed the scent of the other wolf through the building onto the second floor. He pushed open the door on the second floor, and stepped in casually. "Do not over react, young wolf." Alistair said, pushing his alpha influance gently against Nick, suggesting towards calm thoughts. He looked at the shinigami for a moment, sniffing. He waited.

Nick gave out a pleaseant whimper at the pets on his head. However, he tensed when he heard an unusual sound. Snapping his eyes open and standing up suddenly, he listened. But couldn't find anything again. Sitting back down in the man's lap, he stayed tense, staring at the open doorway. It was then a familiar scent and man came through.

Jumping up and doing a cartwheel away from the man, the boy's fingernails lengthened and an inhuman growl resonated throughout the room. Upon landing, he was ready for a fight. But didn't move. His resistance was much less than before due to his dizzyness. His slight swagger betrayed this. He waited.

Kairus' right eye opened and his foot stopped taping as the boy tensed up, he heard the noise below he could tell why the boy tensed up. The boy sat back down in his lap, Kairu watched the boy with his right eye, he noticed he just was staring at the door way. Kairu became more curious why he acted this way rather then the obvious approach of someone, that changed slightly as the door opened and the boy cartwheeled away, he then looked to the door with his right eye. He still remained relaxed as he examined the man that stood in the doorway with his eye, Kairu wasn't the type of person to exert more energy then what was needed, he felt no danger currently.

The man was tall but very muscular, his skin tanned as well as having a short trimmed beard and black wet hair from the rain that currently fell hard against the window across from Kairu. He was strong Kairu could tell that much, but again he felt no aggression so he remained relaxed as he then looked to the boy and waved him back over to sit next to him. He said turning his gaze back to the man, "Why don't you come in and relax with us?"He would then look to the boy, "think you can settle till the rain dies down a bit or would you rather we leave?"

Kairu then moved his hair to sit just on his ear as he rested his head back, "I am rather tired and would not like to do much currently, so if you do wish to have conflict could you wait till after I rest?" He was relaxing but he was not oblivious to the fact he may be attacked or may have to defend the boy if the boy were to attack the man, so he lifted his right knee up to be able to move quicker if needed, his left hand which could not be seen through his right knee would just slightly rest on one of his two blades. Even though his head was rested back against the wall he would remain looking at the man with his right eye till he had a grasp of what was going to happen.

Alistair leaned against the door frame. He'd expected the reaction, but it seemed like he keep things non violent. He nodded to the shinigami, sniffing the air. Oh, a vizard. He stayed in the doorway for now, getting any closer to nick might set him off. "I can relax here. As I said, i'm not here for a fight. I just want to talk to him." He said. He watched Nick carefully. "You should know that boy is not what he seems. Both of us are werewolves, and he is a criminal. Right now he's passive and cuddly, but a week from now he might try to rip your face off."

"If someone else in the coalition catches up to you, they wont be so lenient, disorientated or not. I however only want to help you. Your 'Alpha' is using you. Your disposable to her. Just like Anna is, or she'd have come looking for her." He used his influance to sooth nick's angry, putting allot behind it, while also trying to gently coax him into trusting Alistair more. Helena wasn't a real alpha, she didn't have a real hold on Nick. I was very possible to convince him to join Alistair, though the boy was pretty willful.

"You don't know what you're talking about!" The teen snarled, bone spikes exiting his body, but was soon retracted as more of the influence hit him like a ton of bricks. But he still had a response for him. "As if we'd try to rescue her in your fortress city! Between the Coalition, the police, and your turrets, no hollow or sinner have dared tried sneaking in since the battle of New York. The second you move her, however, be expecting a battle..."

The other wolf didn't know him! Didn't know his alpha! Perhaps he should ask her to come by...she might be busy though. He really didn't know. But he also didn't want to piss her off. He had gotten the ball out of him after he swallowed it. In fact, it was in his pocket.

Kairu was just lost in thought of his past for a moment after the man said, "You should know that boy is not what he seems. Both of us are werewolves, and he is a criminal. Right now he's passive and cuddly, but a week from now he might try to rip your face off."
 he then began to laugh before looking to the boy, "I'm quite use to those kind of people already, I'll worry about it when that time comes." He already knew not to trust the boy or the man that had just come in, Kairu rarely trusts anyone even if they have years behind them, there was too much pain in his past to let it happen again so he became cautious of all those around him. He didn't show it be he would believe anyone could turn on him whether it be a comrade or a civilian.

'That topic doesn't seem to be any of my business, but as it is something being discussed in front of me it will become a annoyance just listening without any information, could you perhaps elaborate whom this women you speak of is?" He said as he looked to the man then to the boy asking, "What have you done to have the coalition after you?" He was quite curious as the boy was young, but he still knew that a great power could come from even the young, and depending on who is controlling it, it could be dangerous.

"Do you seek protection or refuge? Or do you simply wish to travel alone? Do you wish to save this women or wish to kill her?" Kairu bombarded with questions even though he himself did not know why he wished to know of if he would intervene. He would decide what he would do if he decided to do anything at all after he had heard all the information.

"I've met allot of bad people in my life. I think I do know. And who say's we're going to move her? Though I could make you a deal. Join me, and she goes free. She seems a good sort, for a sinner. I think its just Helena who's twisted you both. " He said. He them looked at the man. "She's a powerful high priority sinner who's killed countless innocents. Worst one I've had the displeasure to meet."

He answered the next question too. "He's wanted for a string of murders. Everywhere he goes, eventually someone dies. Thats why I'm trying to take him into my pack, because he'll become my responsibly and Kai trusts me enough to do the right thing if I cant help him control himself. If someone else reaches you first though, your as good as dead. Do you really think Helena will waste her time coming for you?" He said.

He didn't know if the vizard was questioning him or not. however he answered one."Killing her is pointless. She'll eventually revive in hell. Capturing her is top priority." He looked at Nick, continuing to use his alpha influance to keep him as calm as possible.

Nick shrugged, considerably more calm. "Then there's nothing we can do. As for the trade...I doubt it, but it's not my place to wheel and deal. Let's see what Helena says." Reaching into his pocket, he took out a palm sized, red ball. One that the other wolf had saw before and tried to get from him the last time they met. It was his communication device for his Alpha.

Hopefully she would get his little calling and get here. If so, he wouldn't beat around the bush. "This guy wants to trade Anna for me." And he'll wait for her response.

If she didn't come, he'll speak some more. "She knows I need her and where I am. She's probably busy right now..." He'll just continue to glare at the wolf.

Kairu yawns a bit as they talk then looking to the man, "What makes you think if someone dies where ever he goes that those in your pack will survive him?" He then shifted to his hip then to the floor to lay on his side back against the wall as he thought to himself meeting this women might be interesting but the thought vanish after rethinking it if she is violent as he did not enjoy fighting females. He then smiled as the boy took out a device, "so you weren't lost, should have told me you had that and I could have arranged to get you with them" He just shrugged and looked out the window, "well I guess not really with the weather the way it is now... but what's your pack like?"   He asked this looking to the boy, then to the man afterwards, "and yours?"

Even though he knew nothing about the two of these people this type of information would be handy to figure out which groups could be used for information and connections and which should be avoided or exploited. Depending on the information he got he may ask one of the two for information or to keep what he seeks a secret. Not many knew of what he seeks out and not many knew of him in general, so as long as he did not bring it up it shouldn't be brought up.
