A girl with silver hair and blue eyes slowly walked down the street. She wore a long white dress, crosses around her neck and one around her neck. There was a sword on her hip and her skin was pale.
The girl was humming silently to herself, staring at the crowd.

Ian kept his hood up as he walked down the main street, waiting for Manami every now and again.

Manami was right next to him the entire time, smiling and looking around.

Ian glanced around, feeling chills go down his spine.
"I smell smoke...." he said, suddenly yelping when a ball of fire flew at him.
Ian drug Manami down and the fire ball ran past them, blowing up in mid-air, yet catching nothing on fire.
"Ian! What is a scum like you doing here?" Pyro growled, walking up to them.

Manami popped up, smiling. "Reno told me to bring this little guy to you, he was only helping me find you" She said cheerily, holding out Gin. "And he isn't scum, he's a rather nice boy...when he's not trying anything" She said, giving him a soft look, referring to when he had tried to kill her earlier last night.

"Pfft, Ian being nice...like to live to see that. What did you do to Reno?" Pyro glared.
Ian kept his mouth shut, standing.

"Oh HE didn't do anything at all" Manami smiled up at the man, perky. She was still holding out Gin.

Pyro picked up Gin and glared at Manami.
"What happened to Reno?"
"Same thing that happened to Zane, Drake...and many many more," Ian smiled.

Manami smiled and waved goodbye to Gin, "Bye bye little one, hope to see you again" She said cheerily. She put a hand behind her head and giggled innocently, rocking back on her heels.

Pyro twitched and glared at them.
"I swear if I am on the list...I will kill you, Ian...I do not hit girls no matter wht they've done to me," he said.
"I'll think about it. Manami...anything else?" Ian asked.

"Not that I can think of." Manami giggled a bit. She yawned greatly and smiled sleepily, "Can we go back to the beach now or something?" She asked, eyes drooping a bit. (i just remembered....she's tired...XD lol)

"of course," Ian smiled. "Bye, demon."
Pyro growled low, glaring. Ian turned and started walking away.

Manami smiled and followed him, sluggishly this time.

Ian smirked, icking up an apple from the stand. He half turned and threw the apple.
Pyro leto ut a low growl. The apple exploded in mid-air. The fire demon advanced forward. Ian smirked.
"Run," he whispered to Manami, taking off.

"So much for not wanting to start anything" Manami yawned sleepily and did as she was told.

"But it is fun to start things," Ian smiled, jumping when a fireball was hurled at his feet. "Do me a favor...run in a different direction. If you don't see me, it will be for the best. Good luck."
He stopped and ran down an alley, Pyro chasing after.

Manami sighed and warped away, back to the beach.

Pyro growled, cornering Ian.
"You are SO dead, you scum!" he snarled.
"Here I stand. Kill me...how ever you want," Ian smiled.
Pyro sent a large wave of fire at Ian and turned.
"I wouldn't waste my time on some creature like you," he said, walking off.
Ian fell to his knees, looking at his arms and cloak that had been burned. He stood and dizzily walked back to the shore, stumbling every now and them only to curse at himself.

The ten year old version of Manami Shuumoku skipped around town, looking for Pyro and his kids.

Pyro sat on the edge of a fountain, eating a roll. Nate was hiding and throwing random snowballs at random people.

Luke was juggling snowballs as he sat on a small block of ice. "Dad, where's Mom at anyway?" He asked curious.

Manami skipped over smiling as she saw Pyro, she made a face as she was hit with a snow ball, she grabbed one from Luke and threw it at Nate. She smiled at Luke. "Thank you" She giggled.

"She is on her way. Who are you?" Pyro asked, looking at Manami.
Nate glared and grabbed a snowball, throwing it at Manami.

Luke was just confused and shook his head. "Ok..." He said as he continued to juggle making more and more snow balls appear.

Manami smiled up at Pyro, getting hit in the face with another snowball. She wiped the snow off her face and grabbed another snow ball from Luke, throwing it at him, and giggling softly. "Hello sir, I'm Aika" She bowed her head. "I apologize for my temper but I can't help myself, it's reflex" She said, looking back up at him, smiling and hoping to gain his favor so she could hang around him and his boys more so that she could gather information.

"Thats fine. Now where is your parents, Aika?" Pyro smiled. "Want a roll?"

Nate ducked at the snow ball and stood up tall, sticking his tongue out at Manami. He looked at his brother and threw a snowball at him.

Luke blinked as he was hit with a snow ball then smirked at his brother... bombarding him with all the snow balls he had been juggling with.

Manami giggled at Nate a bit. "No thank you, my parents are at work and I'm supposed to stay out of trouble until they're done." She smiled

Pyro nodded. "Not going to do that if you hang around my sons," he laughed.

Nate yelped, covering his face with his arms as he got hit with the ice.
"You'll pay for that!" he yelled.

Manami giggled lightly, shaking her head. "I don't think they could really that troublesome could they?" She asked glancing at Nate and Luke.

Luke laughed at Nate's reaction. "Well if you wouldn't throw them at me you wouldn't get them thrown back!" He stuck his tongue out and started to make more snowballs to juggle.

"They can be, but at least they keep themselves busy when they are bored," Pyro smiled.

Nate made a small fire ball and tossed it at his brother, grinning

Manami smiled and looked over at the two boys. "Do you mind if I play with them while I wait for my parents?" She asked softly, looking back up at him.

Luke's eyes went wide as he dodged the fire ball. "Don't set the place on fire, Nate." Luke said ducking behind a block of ice. He threw another snow ball at his brother.

Nate dived behind a set of boxes and grinned.
"Why? Fire is fun to play with," he said, throwing another fireball at his brother.

Pyro watched the two and shrugged.
"If you want to. Letting you know, if you get hurt, I am not responsible for it."

Manami smiled up at him, "Thank you, and I understand" She said. She walked over to Luke and hid with him, mainly because he hadn't thrown anything at her yet. "Hi" She smiled and giggled softly.

"Ello." Luke said as he turned one of his snowballs into soft ice. He stood and threw it in Nate's direction. Once over his brother's head, it made a large amount of snow and ice fall on him. "It may be fun but it get's people hurt." He called back.

"Not if you have good aim! And thats not fair! You have an accomplice!" Nate yelled.
He shook the ice out of his hair and glared at him and Manami.
"CHEATS!"

Pyro laughed and shook his head.
"He has a point, Nate. Take it down a level."

Luke lifted his head up over the ice and stuck his tongue out at his big brother. "She hasn't helped yet and how do I know she isn't going to turn on me anyway!" He called as he threw a few snowballs at him again.

Manami giggled a bit. "I, personally, don't have fire and ice skills like you two do" She said honestly.
