Bic:
Even as Wildfire paused near the bar, two particular voices could be heard over the low din. It sounded much like a young girl and a grown man. The Bar quieted as the two ran back and forth before one nasty comment made the girl pause. "So...you dare call me, a priestess of Macha, such a name?" The question came calmly, but was dripping with Malice and silenced everyone nearby that had heard her. A red/orange light seemed to shine from the doorway and through the window, Wildfire could see a very young looking Neko-girl in gray robes befitting a priestess holding a soccer ball sized fireball in her hand pointed at the man that was arguing with her. "Now why don't you give me..." She thought for a moment. I'll be generous, just two reasons that I shouldn't turn you to ash right where you stand. Start talking."
The man began pouring out reasons, crying as he hoped to the gods that two would hit Haineko as important enough to spare him. Meanwhile, word that one of Macha's Priestess was in town was spreading through the town. Though Macha wasn't a evil deity, the ways many of her priestess acted lead many if not most Humans that didn't know the truth to believe she was. This quickly caused Humans to distrust, hate and even fear Macha and her Priestess. Watching the townsfolk beginning to plan a mob to drive her away, a small explosion from inside the bar grabbed his attention just before the flaming body flew past him and into the street. The townsfolk simply watched as Haineko slowly walked out of the bar, pausing only slightly to look at Wildfire before stepping into the street.
It was only then that people were putting Wildfire's appearance together with Haineko's, even if it was the wrong Idea. "That thing with her?" Came one question voice.
"Maybe her ally?"
"Nah, it's got to be Familiar!"
"But it's so big...maybe a summoned servant?"
This and more could be heard from the crowd as Haineko looked back at Wildfire. Before she seemed to only notice him for a non-human. After hearing there comments and really looking at him, she finally recognized him as a Dragomancer. As their gazes met she vanished, appearing just behind him to the left to the startlement of everyone else. "It would seem we are in the same boat weather you like it or not, Dragomancer," she spoke in a oddly mature voice, like she was older then her 14 year old appearance portrayed her to be. At the sight of where she was now, the crowd was once more in an uproar, but now for their blood. "I honestly don't want to wipe this town off the map. I hope you don't mind joining me," she said to him and launched a fireball into the dirt in front of them. the crowd surged forward only to find that no foot prints led from that spot. they were gone.
A distance from town, the two seemed to appear as if by the God's will. Haineko seemed unphased though Wildfire had to shake his head to clear it of the sudden effects of high-speed movement to a near sudden stop. "What was that?"Wildfire asked as Haineko began to walk past him.
"Shunpou. I'll tell no more of it," Haineko replied, glancing back at him.
"Fine, then who are you?"
"I am 'The Priestess of Ash and Flame' and the guarded of 'The Neko of Blades', Tsukineko." She turned completely to look at him. "My name is Haineko."
