The town was silent, everyone was asleep, and only creatures of the darkness roamed the streets. And standing within the town square was a tall shadowy, hooded figure with a long black cloak draped over the concrete ground. Raps smirked to himself as he looked up at the sky. The stars shined onto his pale hands as he lifted the hood off his head with his left hand. Long, black bangs fell over his eyes and his spiked hair were allowed to sway freely in the night's wind. He looked up at the sky as the stars sparkling features were reflected within his glowing emerald eyes. He smiled faintly as he said to himself, "This time of the day...suits me just nicely..."
The moon hung high over Raps's head as he strutted slowly through Radiant Garden. "Some name..." Raps thought to himself as he pondered about his past. He was sure he visited this place three years ago, but it was all a big blur in his mind. Ever since that day when he made it through Castle Oblivion and retained his memories. He smirked to himself as it became clear in his mind that day what he was...Psychotic.
Yet it seemed that wasn't truly how Raps was. True there may as well be a fake soul inside his body that keeps the darkness inside him, but from what he learned in Castle Oblivion...the darkness was consuming him bit by bit. Yes...he could feel it at that moment as well. He felt a twinge in his right hand as he thought about the certain possibilities that could happen with just the right influences. He quickly shook the thought from his mind and re-focused his thoughts on why he came back here.
Raps had came here on this night basically to get some rest from his journey. Ever since his would was plagued in darkness Raps had restlessly searched world after world for his family and the traitor that sold himself to the darkness. These were the goals of his adventure and it seemed simple,but Kyle wasn't the kind of person that would be found so easily. He sighed to himself and placed his right hand against his forehead, before standing in on the outer wall that looked down onto the castle where Maleficent had been hiding before. He closed his eyes and said out loud to himself, "The past always seems to be crawling up my spine...damn this place..."
He stretched his arms out a bit and sat down on the edge and stared down onto the castle and just wondered what could happen tonight of all nights.

As Raps sat there on the edge trying to enjoy the stars scattered around him. He felt the leery feeling that someone was watching him. He closed his eyes slowly as he could see flashes of a pair of red eyes staring at him. A smirk crept its way around his face as he heard the light sound a rifle being cradled in a pair of hands. He waited a few moments so that whoever or whatever was coming towards him, could be just a bit closer.
He opened his eyes after a few moments and without turning had said, "I wonder what is it that i have done to you, to provoke you into unveiling your weapon so soon... " Even though he said these words the actions that this stranger has taken so far really didn't matter to Raps. In fact, it intrigued him a bit. He smirked a bit as he turned around and noticed that it was a woman.
Actually the thought of the stranger being a woman never really crossed his mind, but woman or not she must have some skill to be so calm and cool at this time of night even though creatures of the dark still lurk the town a bit. He smirked a bit and kept his right hand against the handle of one of his swords.
He wondered if it was the fact that he somewhat looked distrustful. He shrugged his shoulders and said to her, "Hmm...if its because you don't know me i guess introductions are in order it would seem." He didn't think shaking her hand would be a good idea, so Raps stood in his exact same spot and said to her, "I'm Raps Kamoya...and you are?"

Raps chuckled under his breath and used his right hand to brush away the bangs that fell over his eyes. It was true that nothing that strolls the night as comfortable as he did was well...good. "True...very true..." He had a small smirk crawl over his pale face as he watched her finger tighten eve more over the trigger. It seemed to Raps that she had a itchy trigger finger and was willing to shoot him in a whim.
He took a closer look and realized that she had been staring him down all this time. Those ruby red eyes kept watching him as if she was examining him closely. He thought to himself, "If she's just looking at the outside form of me then she's in for a surprise later..." He sneered a bit as the excitement of his true powers awakening would be fun...very fun indeed.
He realized that the last thing she said to him was also true. He shrugged his shoulders under his cloak and said, "It seems that trying to be somewhat courteous has backfired on me." He took his right hand off his sword's hilt and held his arms at his sides. Then he stared back into her ruby red eyes with his emerald green eyes and said, "So then...how should we continue this?"

As he saw her lower the rifle slightly Raps took it as a gesture of some trust, but he could've been wrong. Then he saw her sling the rifle back over her shoulder. This made him feel a bit more at ease, considering the fact that Raps didn't really like showing his powers out this early into an acquaintanceship.
Then again this woman didn't really seem as if she wanted a friendship, but that fact really didn't matter to Raps. Actually he didn't really care if she wanted anything to do with him. He shrugged his shoulders as he heard her say the name, "Garnet."
Raps tried to smile, but all that came was a smirk. He shook his head and said, "Nice to make your enemy list, Garnet." He turned around and stared back up at the night sky, "So...what brings you to this part of the city."

Raps shrugged his shoulders at her answer, he was just trying to break this uneasy silence between them, but it seems his efforts were pointless. Then he noticed the many heartless hiding in the shadows keeping their distance away from Raps and Garnet. He smirked to himself as he realized that they were hiding from either him or her.
Her retaliation was somewhat expected since she didn't seem to comfortable with him in the first place. Raps yawns and replies, "What brings me out...thats a very good question..hmm." He pondered on the answer for a bit. When an answer finally flew into his mind. He looked over at Garnet and said, "Mysteries of the nighttime...seems like i found one already though it seems."
He closed his eyes and smirked at her, "Why do i seem out of place here as well?"

He nodded his head and smirked at Garnet as he said, "The mystery I found is you Garnet...honestly you seem to be very intriguing to me." He chuckled lightly under his breath as he started walking closer to her, but decided to stop.
He knew in his mind that she wasn't human and yet he still didn't mind. He wasn't a human either and the thought of figuring out what she really was kind of intrigued his mind a bit. He shrugged his shoulders as he smirked and said out loud to her, "Just a simple question, but what are you Garnet? If you don't mind me asking."

The whispered answer she gave him would've missed his ears entirely if he hadn't have appeared suddenly behind her, "First off...i'm not a doctor...and second. You aren't an empty shell. Shells are hollow and have no inward feelings. You apparently, have feelings caution. Which proves my point exactly." He smirked as he walked off to her right side and stood there staring down at the castle.
There was something about Garnet that truly intrigued him. Yet, he didn't want to force that something special out of her. He seemed to be enjoying his conversation with her though. It had been a while since anyone talked to him let alone seen him. He has never let anyone see him too often considering that humans scared easily near his aura of death and darkness.
He shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes, "You know...i wonder what you think i am...hehehe."

He smirked at her as he replied, "Eccentric...hmm thats kind of a weird thing to call someone like me." He closed his eyes when suddenly something inside his cloak started moving. From the his back large demonic wings slowly busted out of his back with his black blood still tainting them.
He opened his eyes and looked over at Garnet, "This isn't a game Garnet...I'm just trying to enjoy this night stroll i decided to take after so long." He looked over his right shoulder and smirked, "Do these give you a clue as to what a monstrous thing i am?"
Raps started to notice the change of tone within her voice. He seemed to spark a certain memory inside of her which would explain the sudden change of tone. He shrugged his shoulders and decided not to ask her. After all she didn't trust him even though they only exchanged names.

Her sudden reaction to his wings seemed expected. He smiled lightly as the gun was suddenly pointed at his face. He peered out to his left and stared down the barrel of her rifle. He could feel her sudden desire to fire the fun directly at him, yet he didn't seem to worried. Even if the gun was enchanted by some spell, there is nothing that his regenerative qualities couldn't fix.
He turned to face her and raised his hands up in an almost surrendering like motion and said, "Well...seems as if my night has been disturbed...but everything sure has turned quite...interesting." He shrugged his shoulders and stared into her red eyes with his emerald eyes, "True things that stroll the night aren't too well mannered, but i'm pretty sure I was respectful of you..."
He stood there for a minute as he saw slight changes in her. Her face seemed too be sorry for once second, but reverted to the cold face he seemed to be acquainted with so well. Then he saw her loosen her trigger finger and lower the rifle a bit. He chuckled a bit and turned around, "Why'd you suddenly stop..."

Demon...as the word left her lips, Raps mind seemed to laugh a bit. Even though she wanted him to tell her what he was it seemed she was already able to guess what he was. He stretched his arms out as he stared back up at the stars with his emerald eyes that seemed to glow now with a certain intensity.
Moments passed before he suddenly just said, "I'm a Demonic Vampire...my body...appearance...everything about me lies in those two words." He turned around and his eyes seemed to have a dim sorrow in his eyes, but it was burned away by a sudden anger that flared within.
He sighed lightly and said, "I respect people...only when i think they deserve it. You seemed to deserve it i not...you would've seen what would've happened earlier than what your imagining."

The words that came from her kept hinting something to him. He wasn't completely sure what she was, but he was sure he'd figure it out sooner or later. He looked into her red eyes and sighed as he started to laugh a bit. He looked over at her and said, "Funny...most people never know I'm a vampire at all...but i chose to tell you i was."
He folded his wings against his back and stared at her rifle. Something about the color of the rifle and aura he felt from it gave him the sense that she has slaughtered many creatures. Was he one of the creatures she would hunt? He shook the thought form his mind as he looked into her eyes again and said, "Respect? Why would they respect us? We spent years...hunting them as food and such. They fear us and hate us now because we are so few in number."
He stepped onto the ledge that overlooked the castle and a strange black aura started surrounding him. He looked over at Garnet and smirked, "So...what do you plan on doing now? That you know what i am..."

The aura around him started becoming clearer as his wings suddenly lit up in an emerald flame. He looked over his shoulder and said to her, "Don't mine the aura...It's nothing really...just wasting some energy to stop myself from overloading in capacity." He didn't know what to say...tell her that his dark aura meant that something nearby was causing his demonic side to react instinctively?
It wasn't hard really for Raps to figure out what she was really. After putting two pieces of information together he came to the conclusion that Garnet...was a nobody. The empty husk that a heartless leaves behind. Not much of a shocker really when she told him that she wasn't supposed to feel human feelings, and that she was also rejected.
He decided in his mind to step off from the ledge and start to slowly walk over to her, "Hey...choosing not to kill me would be a somewhat wise choice and all, but...killing me might make you feel good don't you think?" He asked with a slight smile on his face.
"Sorry...but you know i don't think you incapable of feeling emotions." He stopped in front of her and held his hand out to her, "Do you wanna find out?"

As Garnet scowled back at him and nudged his hand a bit with the barrel of her gun he kind of felt sorry for her. She truly was clueless in some ways , but it didn't matter. He watched as she got up without his help and walk past him.
The question she asked seemed very simple yet the answer he wanted to give was eluding him. He didn't know how to feel as well. The last time he felt anything was three years ago before the planet he lived on was purged in darkness.
He closed his eyes and thought back as to what helped him in those days. He started remembering things...nothing special, but they were glimpse of the past. He saw his two brothers, Semre and Ty sitting under a tree relaxing. His mother and sister sitting on the porch watching the neighborhood elven kids practice magical abilities.
Then suddenly it hit him. The faint image of a young girl standing before Raps holding her hand out to him. She had long brunette hair, skin as pale as his, and her blue eyes had a welcoming feeling to them. He sighed as he suddenly remembered what had helped him.
Raps quickly snapped back into reality and turned to face Garnet's back as he answered to her, "Find someone to care for...try to care for them at first and then focus. Try to trick your mind into knowing what it is to care for something..." His wings quickly sunk back into his back and under his cloak. His eyes still flared with intensity as he walked over to a wall and leaned against it.
His back was wet from the blood pouring from the place his wings came from which he really didn't mind. He closed his eyes and pulled his hood back over his black spiky hair. His long black bangs seemed to fall in front of his eyes as he listened for what Garnet would do next.

Raps chuckled from under his hood as he turned his head to look at Garnet. She reminded him a lot about himself in some ways. Cold, dark, and resistant to others. Raps was like that before...in some ways he was a lot worse than her.
He was monstrous...in some ways he wished he would die so he could be done with what he did in the past. His darkness...was somewhat extinguished and covered with her light. His eyes closed slightly as her memory kept appearing into his head. He punched the wall gently to get her out of his mind.
He opened his eyes up and looked at Garnet to see a mirror image of her. He shook his head and tried to remember that she couldn't be here, "That was a long time ago...her light was extinguished by time's eternal embrace..." He looked over at Garnet and saw that she was back to her old form he smirked a bit. He thought to himself, "Good thing I stopped hallucinating..."
He suddenly heard Garnet speak to him. Stared into her red eyes and smirked as he said, "So you did have someone before...and you did try a little I see." He placed his hands behind the back of his head and continued, "Honestly...you never try your best until you've failed at least once..."

Raps smirked lightly as it turned out that he was right all along. Ther had been someone in Garnet's past that she didn't try hard enough with. Yet even though she might have realized it now, she's afraid time has put too much space between the two.
Raps started walking towards her as he saw the sudden embrace she placed on her five foot long rifle. He noticed that the rifle seemed to give her a somewhat homely feeling. It made her feel safe, and he could sense it as well.
Then Raps suddenly noticed that all the heartless were staring at her. They seemed to be too shocked in fear to approach or run away. He smirked as he raised his right hand out from under his cloak. While he raised his hand over his head he suddenly snapped his fingers.
Suddenly a large gust blew through the place as large black spikes lunged up from the ground and impaled all the heartless around him. Raps smirked as he said quietly, "That wasn't even that exciting..."

"Impressive. "
A voice forced to sound as being really impressed came from the wall before a inky oval shaped portal stretched to cover its surface and a black hooded young woman stepped out into the town square. She lowered her gaze to the ground and saw how one heartless had managed to escape the dark spikes that had come from under the ground with a mere signal of the cloaked guy further ahead. Her hand reached to the concrete where the black heartless was skating underneath, showing a little of its back, and summoned a steel claw to her hand, piercing right through the dark creature as she did. She then lifted her hand to give the heartless a closer look as it kicked it's little dark feet in attempt to tore itself from the claw having the length of twenty inch. A funny sight. She had never seen these strange creatures before - which would sound strange to anyone who heard it - yet sensed it was the same as her. Her reflecting grey cat eyes from inside the hood scanned its little body, looked in its big yellow eyes and then swiftly waved the equipped weapon as if it hadn't the qualities she could possibly use.
The young womans gaze met the face of the guy in his black attire and black spiked up hair. Even though she had made the cloaked guy a "compliment" she was more interested in the russet haired girl, standing in his opposite. She was aware the young woman was equipped with a large gun, and she wasn't that sure if she was to use it any time soon. She surely wouldn't be afraid to, but Xivian was everything but intimidated by the weapon. Though, she had to admit it was ridiculously large and sure would not let her guard down for either one of them for that matter.
Xivian now walked cross the town square to approach the girl she could sense as being quit the same as herself. Her buckled boots sounded more heavy than usual as echo seemed to be produced by each taken step. The tale of her black dress was gliding freely in the night wind while she leisurely approached.
Half her way she reached up her cloak, blinking once to fill her grey eyes with gloom in order to have a normal vision. She then summoned her weapon back, having her bare hand free to reveal herself to the others she knew were wanting to know who had disturbed their conversation. A hilarious one. That's what she thought the conversation was she had picked a few lines from. How did it came to ones mind to try and tell a nobody there's a possibility for them to be able to feel true emotions? Maybe under very different circumstances, yes. But seen the nobody wasn't known to them, Xivian read out of her behavior, it wasn't most likely she could feel emotions. Thus, hilarious. But Xivian wasn't there to make her statement. She just wanted to gather some information..

A single word broke the silence after he had initiated his attack. "Impressive." That word came from the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him. Raps smirked as he thought to himself, "Impressive? Such a high statement for such a small waste of my energy. That attack doesn't compare to what lies dormant inside of me."
The figure came closer to him and Raps suddenly realized that it was a woman with her hood pulled over her head. He smiled lightly as his right hand started to become quite active. It twitched lightly and Raps just chuckled gently under his breath. He looked up at the woman and said to her, "Wow...another late night visitor."
He suddenly lifted his head over towards Garnet and said to her, "Look Garnet...someone else to join our little...midnight gathering." He smirked as he placed his right hand against the handle of one of the two swords hanging at his left hip. He gripped the handle lightly as a light precaution since he was just remembering what Garnet had said earlier, "Nothing friendly ever stalk the streets this late in the night..." How right she could be if the situation becomes what he thinks it could.

The nobody had her hood pulled back over her head now. Her long deep wine red hair bounced gently aside her porcelain colored face that held no emotion or whatsoever. Xivian looked away from the nobody who had watched her coldly with her unnatural crimson eyes, coolly bringing the guy into her vision. She had seen how his hand rested on the handle of a nice sword hanging, ready to be pulled out. She had the sense of this guy having a heart. A pretty dark one. Yet he himself was not human at all. Nothing similar to what she had seen before either. It aroused her curious mind a bit.
"I'm not here to savour your little tea-party."
Xivian had come to a hold in front of the duo. Her eyes shifted to the wall plastered with blood as she spoke in an arrogant way. The scent had reached her nose by now, having a strong smell of metal, making her nostrils itch slightly. She did not care for what had happened, causing the cloaked guy to bleed. It obviously had come from him. For some reason though, her empty gaze changed and gave him a soft smile. It had to be rather confusing after she had been sarcastic toward him. It wouldn't surprise the nobody at all if he thought of it as trickery.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Grey eyes tore from the emeralds when hearing the other speak. She was able to hear the edge of disgust just fine.
"Ever heard of a world or place belonging to the lost souls of nothingness?" she asked with a clear voice, her eyes locked into the crimsons. She had figured that since the girl was a nobody, she probably knew about other worlds. Maybe even worlds she had never visited before. Her journey hadn't been that long now after all.

Raps kept to himself since he noticed that the girl wanted to speak to Garnet. He pushed off against the wall and decided to walk around the corner and wait until the conversation is finished. He waved his right hand back at Garnet and said, "If you feel like it I'll be back here...have fun talking with another...Nobody."
A small smirk made its way across his face as he turned the corner and stared up at the stars. He thought quietly to himself, "Who would've thought that two nobodies with mind's of their own would meet in the same world...interesting indeed." He pulled the hood further down his face and leaned against the wall of an abandoned building.
His movements seemed to cease at this moment. Even if you looked closely the slight hint of him breathing could be detected form his chest. In his mind Raps was wondering to himself, "Was the girl right? Was it even his place to suggest that Garnet might actually have a chance to feel emotion; or was the differences between the nobody and him... the Demonic Vampire too different?"
He sighed quietly and et his hands fall against his side as he said out loud into the darkness, "Why am I even helping her..." Was there something wrong with him? Well...he knew there was something wrong with him, but it couldn't have any effect on him in this matter. He shook his head and placed his face into the palm of his pale white hand as he thought to himself, "Great...i'm losing control..."

How sweet... Xivian's eyes didn't stray away to watch the kid stroll off. She did not care for him to stay or to leave. She'd either way ask her questions. Yes, there was one more question to be made. Her first question had been merely asked to know if she could ask any further. The nobody in front of her wouldn't be much help if she didn't know the world. For all she knew, she could have forgotten the place too.
Didn't seem to be the case now she had answered
"A world that was never suppose to exist, a world just for people,like..us."
If it is a place, just for people like me..why am I not able to enter this world? Had it to do with the fact I'm not able to memorize it? Why did I not? Or did something prevent me from going there..? Could be a person too.. Who had such power? Questions started to pile up in her head. She then looked up at the sky and turned around, willing to chance the other nobody wouldn't try to surprise her with an attack. Not that she questioned her reflexes.. Heh.
"So..Garnet, am I right?" she asked dragging her words out slightly. "I seem to have a little trouble remembering this world. Why I do not know." Xivian started to pace to and fro as though she had to think about how to bring the request that was to follow. And maybe she needed to. The other nobody's question had made the impression she wasn't fond of the place at all.
"I need to go back there. But it seems the corridors of darkness that make it able for us to travel from world to world prevent me from going there. And I think I might need your help."
Looking side wards, her grey cat eyes spotted a dark stray cat approach her and stopped in her tracks. A small smirk crossed her face as she already was having a plan B for if the ruby eyed nobody didn't want to help her.
