Hidden Darkness

[Ikuto]

(okay sorry for the lame title, this is for Ikuto to meet some new people, mostly Mami. Just give us maybe a page or two then just ask if you can come it totally alright by me. This takes place June 5th. If i need to change the date just let me know.)

Ikuto stood in the park, the sun light hurt his eyes. He couldn't just wait like so many other demons in the woods for his food to come. No, he had his violin for that. Pulling out the wooden instrament, he placed it almost lovingly on his shoulder. A sad melody began playing, but this was no normal music. Part of Ikuto's magic and demonic power was that his violin called to the hidden darkness in peoples' hearts. It didn't just call out to any person though, it usually pulled someone easily controlled or with a supply of darkness enough to give Ikuto enough nourishment to be able to avoid feeding for awhile. He didn't know how long it would take for the person to hear the song, so he just kept the song going.

[Mami]

Mami walked down the road that led to the park. She had been heading there anyways, yet somehow, she felt drawn to it more than she usual did. It might have been a coincidence but then again things were different than they seemed. The blonde knew that there was no such thing as coincidences. Her golden eyes widened at the sight of the boy playing the violin.

As if she was a love-struck girl, she just stood there and listened to the soft but sad melody.

[Ikuto]

Ikuto felt a sudden shift in the air, his meal had arrived. Placing the violin back in it's case, he started his usual game. Looking up he pretended to be suprized.

"Oh, pardon," he said rubbing the back of his head, "I didn't mean to be in your way." He gave the blonde an irrisitable smile and a small bow, "I'm Ikuto, and you are?"

[Mami]

Mami gave him a tiny smile. "Not at all, you weren't in my way." she said twisting a lock of her hair in her fingers, which she had never done before. Why now? The boy was in fact good looking but she had never crushed on anyone before.

"Mami, Mami Tomoe." she replied giving him a curtsy.

[Ikuto]

"Well miss Tomoe," Ikuto said offering her a hand with his palm facing up. If she took it, he was in, if not well the demon had other ways. As long as that god be damned hunter didn't show up he was golden.

[Mami]

Her golden eyes stared at the hand for a moment. "What is your motive?" she found herself asking. "I know you aren't human, so what exactly are you Mr. Ikuto?" she looked at him for a moment, trying to see what lay beneath the dark blue souless eyes. The music he played was sad but lovely. Was this a refleciton of his life prehaps.

"Forgive me if i don't fall head over heels for you just yet."

[Ikuto]

Ikuto stood up and bristled slightly, "I suppose you could call me a shapeshifter. My intention was to be a gentleman m'am."

He noted how she was looking into his eyes and immediatly looked away. Picking up his violin case he slung it over his shoulder. No matter how much darkness was hidden away in her heart, the chance of her finding out he was a demon wasn't a chance he was willing to take. Not when she seemed to know he wasn't all human like he appeared.

"Now if you'll excuse me," he said, "I'm starving."

[Mami]

Mami blinked at him. "A shapeshifter huh?" she asked. Curiousity always got the better of her so she was not hesitant to hold up one of her hands where there was a grocery bag. "I always come here to have a picnic when i have the time." she replied. "Perhaps if you really don't mean me any harm i will allow you to join me."

She gave him a look that almost dared him to turn away. After all if he truly was a gentlemen then he would want to accept her offer right.

[Ikuto]

Ikuto senced her test, either he could leave and prove to her that he was up to something or her could accept and play into a fantasy. If he stayed near her, he could feed off her with out her knowing. An ultimadum stood before him and going on instinct he nodded to the blonde girl.

"That would be great," he said lightly, "here let me carry that for you."

[Mami]

She didn't hestiate this time, the golden haired girl gave him the basket with a smile. Though what lay beneath it would remain a mystery. In he truly was a dark person then Mami had to know in secret. Knowing your enemy without them knowing it was the best way to do that.

"You really are a gentleman aren't you?' she asked.

[Ikuto]

"Some would say that," Ikuto said with a shrug, "Just show me where you'd like to go miss Tomoe."

He'd have to watch this pray closely. She seemed tricky and aware of a lot more than more victims would be. Had his magic betrayed him? He felt himself growing stronger, but at what cost?

[Mami]

Mami walked in front of him but decided to keep her guard up. True, she hadn't known many demons or knew that they exsisted but something about this guy just seemed...not as human as the other people she met. But she wasn't one to judge.

She glanced over at the fountain before walking over to a spot beneath some trees. "Here." she pointed.

[Ikuto]

Ikuto placed her basket down along with his case and looked at her. What was different about this girl? She seemed human, but there was something hidden underneith the normal exterior. That's when it hit him, she was a witch. Tsking himself for not realising it sooner he had no chance of escape now. Better just to play along with the game.

"So Mami was it?" he asked, "I never caught what you were."

[Mami]

"I'm the daughter of Zeus." she said jokingly. The blonde wasn't known to have a sense of humor but when asked a vague question, you gave a very ridiculous answer. At least that's how her logic went. "But all jokes aside. I suppose i could tell you that i am a witch. A light witch." she flicked her hand up to the sun and pulled a small ball of light into her hand before squeezing it and setting it free. The light turned into a butterfly and sailed into the sky.

[Ikuto]

Ikuto raised an eyebrow and looked at Mami, "Who would have guessed. You must be the light of the party."
He gave her a joking smile and sat down on the ground. There were a couple of things that he couldn't let slip, being a demon was one of them. Light already hurt his eyes enough as it was, even option for the shade. She could blind him and possibly kill him in the same moment. Though the darkness was as strong as anything he'd ever had before.
