How long had it been? A couple of days at the most when Himeiji finally awoke in the abandoned house, which was in the second district of the town known as, Traverse Town. The young girl felt tired and groggy, but only for the moment.
"Ugh, where am I?" She asked herself and took a look around in the dilapidated structure her other half found for them.
"Welcome back to the conscious world, Hime." Black Heart said, though the dry sarcasm was obvious in her voice. "We're in some broken down old shelter I found for us. We just had to battle some big ass creature a few days ago, and you were out for the entire thing. On top of that, your injuries hadn't fully healed either, so I just let the Ketra blood in you do its work."
"So that's what happened... Thank you, Heart. Were you alone in the battle?" Hime asked softly.
"No, not really. There was a suit of armor, some nitwit kid, a shady butler, and some man who seemed to have his own head shoved too far up the wrong hole." She said harshly, yet there was no malice of any sort in her voice. Himeiji nodded to herself and decided to get back on her feet. She leaned on the wall for support and didn't really rush anything. Her wounds had finally healed just like how Black Heart mentioned, and even the armor was repaired. Hime felt it odd, but paid no mind to it right now.
"Any idea where we are?"
"Not a clue."
"You didn't ask?"
"Didn't feel like it."
"Heart..." Himeiji ended the conversation there and merely shook her head, smiling softly. Winter's Edge was next to her and she simply picked the blade back up, tying it to the left side of her waist, and doing some light stretches. The black-eyed, pale faced beauty felt rested and energetic. She was ready to go and decided she needed to find out where she was first. Himeiji hopped out the window and landed on her feet. Hime started walking forward but didn't hug the shadows this time, she walked right out, and started to look for the first sign of human life that could potentially give her a clue of where she was.

"Ah. Look who's finally stirring about."
A stranger emerged from the shadows nearby, one that was so eloquently described as having his 'head shoved up his butthole'. He was moderately tall, dressed in darker attire, and had a thick sash-like blindfold on his head, completely obscuring his eyes and the facial structure immediately surrounding them. One would wonder how he was aware of the girl's presence without the ability to see.
Truthfully, any behind that was manifested from light or darkness interested the man. It was less-so now that he knew a certain truth about himself, but that adventurous curiosity never seemed to go away after making it a habit for a long time after returning to a human form. JeY could feel this girl's aura very well - it was potent and filled with radical anomalies. He simply had to know more.
"Apologies for seeming creepy at all, but you didn't look so good when you fled the scene before." The blood from her wound was impossible to miss for someone as observant as him. "I could've healed you, but I wanted to see how'd you fair on your own. I imagine you're the independent type too, from your outburst before you left. It's whatever," he said, making idle conversation. He purposefully left it vague and hard to guess what he was after, but satisfying his curiosity was his number one game. He just wanted to see how she would respond right at this moment, nothing more and nothing less. After all, how she replied would determine both of their very fates.

Himeiji turned on a dime as she heard the voice coming from the shadows nearby. Her hand had instinctively reached for the blade and her stoic, steely, battle features were beginning to take root. However, a quick message from Heart calmed Himeiji down for the moment. That was the man who she was talking about earlier, one of the allies she fought with when that giant beast attacked the town. She lightened up a bit and got out of her low stance, standing upright once more. Hime peered at the man and let her eyes see his aura. A dark aura surrounded him, yet outlined by a dull light.
The assassin was able to see that the man was blindfolded and most of his facial features obscured by the wrap. His attire completely black, just like hers with the exception that she still wore some white. This appearance didn't intimidate Himeiji so much as made her wonder why this man wore it in such a way. Her own curiosity was started to become interested and it urged her to ask him further questions. However, as of right now, she wouldn't. He had already begun his own Q&A of her, so Hime figured to just answer him, and then ask her questions later.
"Ah, I see. You were watching over me while I slept then?" To hell with waiting, she told herself. She was going to ask questions, while answering! "Forgive me for taking a rude exit like that. But I wasn't all myself during that time. Sorry if I offended you, Mr...?" Himeiji asked in a straightforward attempt to get a name out of the man, her contralto voice and tone completely different from the one he might of heard, when Black Heart was conversing with them all earlier. Out of all the things he noticed was her independent attitude, brought about by Heart's own manifestation within her being. A soft smile touched her lips. Good thing the first thing wasn't "oh hey, your eyes are all black, are you some kind of creature?"

Assumptions, assumptions. It seemed this girl primarily operated on assumptions... or did she? JeY noticed she managed to recognize him, at least partially, for not getting upset at his completely outlandish statement. He would've understood completely, but it's just easier for both parties that she approached this in a rather calm manner. What a champion. Though, she assumed that he physically watched her sleep or was mad at something. That would have to be cleared up pretty quick if they were going to get along.
"Not literally, I was just in the area." He pointed to where his eyes would be, covered by the blindfold. He enjoyed making people think he couldn't see, as lame as a gimmick as it was. It was amazing the universe didn't collapse due to the massive size of JeY's ago. "Not that I can watch much like this." He wasn't technically lying by adding 'like this'. "As for being offended, I'm a pretty difficult person to offend really. I'm just being nosy, as usual," he said. After all that interest he built up, her reaction was rather standard.
Or was it? In certain circumstances, definitely, but someone with a sword and dark powers like hers probably wouldn't like to be stalked by someone she hardly knew, someone with an air of power also about them. She was eerily calm. This was rather different toward his expectations, not that he expected much, but with how she acted earlier she didn't seem like the type to be too kind to this type of scenario. Well, he was pleasantly surprised regardless.
"As for a name... you can just call me whatever you'd like for now." Ah yes, his signature attitude about names. She definitely hadn't earned his, at least in JeY's own little world. She seemed so confident he would just divulge such valuable information so easily without offering her own name first. Had that been the case, the circumstances might be different, but as it stands these two people are nameless to each other and JeY wasn't going to be the first to budge.

The woman watched and listened to the man as he explained that he was just in the area. He pointed to the wraps that covered his eyes and knew that, yes he was blindfolded, but he was still able to "see." No matter how unconventional it was, the man was probably more or less like her in terms of sight. The nameless man could probably see auras like her or had some other power that allowed him to "see" beyond just the sense itself. She wasn't going to prod that just yet. Lastly, he wasn't offended by her other half's past behavior, something that brought a soft smile to her lips.
"I'm glad. And I'm sure that even with those wraps, you found some way to find me." She was just stating her observation, not really prodding. She was an assassin still. Analytically adept, tactical, and always quick to think first, before ever speaking, or acting.
When it came to giving his name, the man dodged it completely and just instructed Himeiji to call him whatever she'd like to call him. Black Heart gave out a typical "Tch" in their subconscious, as she felt it rather rude that a man couldn't act like a man when around a woman. Then again, she didn't care and just kept her tongue held, letting Hime deal with the rest of the conversation. Himeiji on the outside, giggled, and thought of the perfect name that she was going to call him.
"You'll be Mummy-san in that case. Since you're all wrapped up in the face, it's only natural I assume you're a mummy!" She said with her childish tone to her contralto voice. She was genuinely happy and decided to leave her name up in the air. "As for a name... You can just call me whatever you'd like for now." Himeiji said back to him, a bigger, cheeky smile etching across her face. If this man was going to be rock about his name, then so would she.

Narrowing his eyes at his new nickname, he couldn't help be feel that it was not very imaginative. He couldn't care less what he was called otherwise he would've given a fake name or an alias, and frankly he couldn't care less what she was called either. It was simply a formality to give your own known before request that of others, to which she continued to be stubborn. Worst of all, she challenged the worst possible person to play the nickname game.
"If that's the case, nice to meet you 'Ineptual Bitch'. I.B. for short." She was in for a rather rude awakening if she expected him to be as playful as her, which was impossible from the start. With a sour attitude and not caring about anything else besides his own well being, on top of the fact that when he speak he expresses no emotion whatsoever and everything he says is monotone and flat, he's not a very good friend. Yet, people manage to get themselves attached to him.
"In any case, what's your deal? You crawled from the shadows while injured to take on a tough enemy, putting a lot of force into the matter despite there being plenty of other capable bodies around. You're not from around here, have any business to do here or any investment in the people, nor are there any bounties posted; especially for Heartless." Well, that was quite a mouthful, but JeY was never one to beat around the bush. He called things as he saw it, and he saw this girl as suspicious. Laughable compared to that joke of a mage they encountered earlier at the Heartless incident, but something he felt the need to nose himself into regardless. His intuition spoke of there being something worthwhile to harvest here, whatever that might be.

Himeiji laughed at her nickname, finding it hilarious that one of those words wasn't really a word. Mummy's attitude only furthered the reason why she named him that in the first place. He had dry humor, spoke in a boring, monotone voice, and didn't show any emotion, something akin to that of a something dead inside, or a robot. The notion made Hime giggle some more and she found the man... Barely worth the curiosity, so she toned it down. Her face relaxed and she looked more bored than actually intrigued, as she were a while ago.
"My, my. I see you put a lot of thought into that. You MUST have the brain of a mummy too." She emphasized the must and even made two jokes in one. Referring to the fact that his nickname for her wasn't anymore clever than hers and referring to the fact that mummies go through an embalming procedure in which all major organs are removed; in the case of Mummy, Himeiji was referring to the brain.
"Geez, this guy not only has his head up his ass, but asks a lot of questions too. Wonder what fills his head more, questions, or the large amount of shit that he just so happens to think he knows." Black Heart asked Himeiji, in response to the questions that Mummy started bombarding the young girl with. Hime merely smiled softly on the inside, gently nudging Heart within their subconscious. The questions were sudden and intrusive, which made Himeiji feel uncomfortable. Here this man couldn't even give a name, insults her, then further insults her by inquiring her motives? The assassin merely shrugged and gave a soft giggle.
"My deal? I have no reason to share such information with a total stranger. I mean, you pop out of the shadows, probably looked at me while I slept, and now you wish to know more about me personally? Either you're really bad with women or this your way of asking me out on a date." She said, stretching out her forearms and putting a finger to her lip, deciding that she'd tell Mummy more of her "personal" life, so he can get an idea of how to approach her better. "Hm, let me see... I prefer long walks on the beach, dinner in high places, and cheesy romantic movies that usually end in tragedy." Her black eyes glinted brightly in the brightly lit walkway the stood at and her smile had widened, showing off those full pink lips.

Huh. So she had a bit of a snap herself as well. Not bad. If she judged everyone by what half-assed on-the-spot nicknames they came up with however she would be severely misguided. He was perfectly capable of ignoring her brain comment, since he knew she really had no clue who she was dealing with. She seemed to tense up at his sudden change of pace, coping by reacting with more playful smiles, giggles, and a bored posture. What a joke.
Not only that, she thought it was a great idea to make a joke out his very serious and very forward question of 'why are you here'. Sure, the girl seemed cute enough but JeY wasn't the type to go on dates; in fact, it was always him that turned others down. It even amazed him that he had to do so in the first place, who would be interested in such a monotonous douchebag? He prided himself in being an asshole and couldn't care less about relationships with others, especially after discovering the true nature of a certain friendship he once had, what would make this girl think this was a stunt to acquire a date?
"Haha," he started off rather sarcastically. "Speaking of putting a lot of thought into things..." and now that girl's witty retort had come full circle. Zero effort spent, besides. "Unfortunately for you, I don't do dates, but I know of a girl would would be absolutely infatuated with someone like you." She probably wouldn't expect that he was being completely serious. JeY never really lied because there was never a reason to hide anything; if he didn't want someone to know something, he just wouldn't speak in the first place.
"And she could be yours for a very low price of 'why the goddamn firetruck are you here'." If JeY was capable of actually laughing, he probably would've had a brief chuckle at that himself. He felt that it was enough to lighten the mood, but he really wanted to know why someone like this girl had arrived in Traverse town, especially in her condition, and what she was planning. If she wasn't responsive to a counter-retort, he still had more tricks up his sleeves prepared, too. One of which might've been to brandish his blade and try to take it by force, but only if that was really necessary and/or worth the effort. He suspected from her aura that she wasn't quite a pushover.

Himeiji whistled in the fact that Mummy managed to save himself by saying that he didn't do dates. That was pretty quick thinking and she liked it, however, the whole joking aspect was coming to a close. He seemed genuinely interested in her story, even if he didn't show it, seeing as he was offering some woman as a bartering chip, to find out why Hime had come to the place he called, "Traverse Town" to begin with. Hime giggled at the notion and decided that she'd play along a bit more.
"Hm, that's an interesting offer. However, I like to know what sort of goods I'm beginning before I buy them." She added a wink to that one and smiled. Her facial expression soon grew serious after letting a moment passed. She was recalling everything up until the current point. Her years as a child, her capture, torture, genetic enhancements, assassination missions, etc. When it call became clear once more, she knew exactly how to phrase how she came here and why, though, the answer itself was going to be very lackluster.
"Fine, I'll throw you a bone. I was just finished killing somebody when I was rescued by some strange force. When I had came to, there was that giant creature setting ablaze to everything. That somebody I killed used to be aligned with those things you call, 'Heartless,' so my primal urge to kill anything and everything associated with that somebody came about and I ended up pressing myself in my injured state. You know the rest after that." She concluded and her voice was still as calm and steady as when they first started talking. When she remembered the butler and how he tried to be so calm and cool about things, her brow furrowed. Himeiji wanted to gut him then and there, but in the case that Mummy and the other three had been in the right mind-set, they could have killed her after the little deed. Himeiji shook her head of the thought soon enough and stayed focus on the conversation at hand.

If JeY wasn't wearing a blindfold, this would be the part where he would narrow his eyes. Rescued after killing someone? Not after almost being killed herself? Something seemed rotten here. Technically she would've just given him everything he wanted to know right there, whether it was just a bone or not, and JeY would pull whatever he had offered to have her divulge the information he was interested in. Unfortunately, the way she described things, it just wasn't adding up and now he would have to actually put forth effort into finding it out.
"...I almost made the mistake of questioning your awful word choice, but that's when you'd make me pay up. Very well. Before I pull her in here I have to legitimately ask, are you actually into dating other girls or was that another poorly-timed joke?" He imagined he was thoughtful, not to the girl in front of him but moreso behind the scenes to the girl he might've been talking about. "Because I wasn't joking; and she would be quite disappointed if I dragged her all the way over here for nothing." He thought it was necessary to establish that as explicitly as possible.
Unfortunately he was going under the assumption that she was just playing along, that JeY was simply joking himself. It would make things rather convenient, since that probably meant he would have to play around with her in a little more 'intimate' of a fashion. The Heartless encounter definitely left him unsatisfied, his adventure in Wonderland was lackluster all the same, so he was surely in the mood for a bit of a scuffle. He wouldn't mind testing what this girl was capable of strictly for his own amusement. JeY was ultimately patient though, and the more he thought about it, the more he assumed that fighting was inevitable. If she just so happened to spill the beans before any physical confrontation, it might be too late for him to engage her anyway after the fact.

Himeiji chuckled dryly and fixed her hair into the ponytail she'd usually use when going into combat. Mummy asked her if she was really into dating the same sex and she gave him a small, soft smile.
"I'll date any gender just as long as their personality doesn't conflict with mine. I am being serious." She said with a tone that solidified her choice of words, when referring to dating those of the same sex.
Hime's hand rested itself upon the hilt of her seven foot blade. All this time, she could sense that the aura of Mummy was beginning to intensify. She could feel it and knew that what his intentions were trying to get to. A fight, perhaps? Himeiji didn't want to jump the gun just yet and assume so, but it seemed as though that the more she skipped around certain topics, or gave as little information as ever, his own aura responded with an increase of violence. Hime wasn't going to probe him just yet about it, and waited until he divulged more information about the girl he was trying to set her up with.

Huh. So she was completely serious. Well, was she in for a surprise then! He wouldn't be shy to her body language though. She prettied up her hair a little (or that's what JeY assumed she did) and then adjusted herself into something more defensive. He wouldn't guess that she could read his aura, but he thought it was peculiar for the girl to want to seem ready for an attack at a moment's notice. Well, maybe that wasn't the case, maybe her ordinary resting position just seemed defensive, but it was his best guess. He wasn't sure of anything, and her poise was very subtle, but couldn't escape someone as keen to details as JeY. Still, he thought nothing of it. He would be oblivious to her perceptiveness to his eagerness to start a fight soon. If that would still happen.
"Right. Well. One moment." He turned slightly to the side and raised his arm, and opened up a small portal of fluorescent pink Chaos energy. It swirled in a violent vortex fashion but was completely two-dimensional and focused in on itself. Taking one step toward it, JeY reached in, paused, and then yanked out a young woman by the back of her shirt. She had long, slightly messy blonde hair, blue-green eyes and a definitive peachy complexion. She was average height, in fact just about as tall as JeY himself, very skinny, and of course slightly-above-average chest size. She wore a tightly-fitted black hoody with azure flames across the bottom, black fingerless gloves, navy-blue short-shorts, an orange ribbon tied to her left thigh, and black ankle-cut boots. Last but not least, she wore a silver chain with a dragonclaw pendant, identical to JeY's only the girl's had a black marble in its grasp. She would not be too happy about being here, and the portal closed before she could try and escape.
"H-hey! What's the big idea! You can't just drag me wherever! I didn't ask for your help anyway! Send me back right this ins--" Of course, he had to cut her off at some point. "Quit your bitching for just one moment, since if this woman right here tells me what I want to know, you get to go on a date with her." Despite the situation changing dramatically, his voice never left his distinct monotone style. The girl he dragged here looked incredibly confused. "...What are you on? You expect me to be--" JeY had previously pointed in Himeiji's direction, to which she began to turn and looked and the sight of her dropped her speechless.
She was beautiful! Such mysterious eyes, fantastic curves, appealing attire... She went from being pretty upset to rather calm really quick. "Wait... are you serious? She wants to...? And she's into that?" the girl was absolutely blown away. "Yes. I made sure to ask first. Well, you can stop looking at me, she's still right there." The girl he dragged here just stood in an awkward stare with JeY for a few moments before she realized he was right. "Er, yeah..."
Turning back to Himeiji, the new girl put her hand to her mouth and cleared her throat. Well this was unexpected. "I uh... hi there! I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but this douchebag over here doesn't joke around, like ever, so I assume there's-- Wait, JeY, she's looking for a date so you asked for information in return, or is it the other way around, how was I involved in this?" She began with addressing her, then turned to the chaotic man for another tidbit of information while also relaying his real name. Not that she knew the premise of their current interactions.
"Other way around." JeY ignored his name being mentioned, for now. "Right! Well that's weird," she said, turning back to the dark-eyed girl. "So he randomly brought up dating me and you were interested? I'm not questioning your side of the story, but I'd love to know how that came up from not him! Of course... that can be taken care of later... Anywho my name's JessY, pleased to meet you!" she began, walking forward and offering the girl a firm handshake. It was habitual from her customs of meeting strangers from her home. Whether or not the other girl offered her own name was up to her, it seemed. Hopefully, their relationship to each other wouldn't come up in conversation either. She would have to lie or tell some very vague truth to avoid being associated with him in the way she is. Never again.

Himeiji observed Mummy's actions further, as he seemed to have created a vortex like he did a couple of days ago. He reached in and yanked out a rather adorable looking girl, who didn't take too kindly to the man suddenly pulling her out of the blue. Himeiji was quite surprised, actually turning a bit pink in the cheeks as she looked upon the sight which was the young woman. Hime eased up a bit and smiled at the two, as they continued to exchange their banter.
The whole scene was quite comical, really. Hime liked how the two seemed to treat each other like brother and sister, yet Mummy, who was actually named, Jey, as revealed by the blonde, kept his monotone voice. When the young woman peered upon Himeiji, she seemed to be speechless, and calmed down almost instantly. She looking at Hime with stars in her eyes, which in turn made Hime blush even more. The young girl had began to talk to her, but it was directly addressed to Jey.
He had explained that she was in fact the one interested on a date with the girl, and Hime would be ready to prove that right away.
"He's correct. He explained that you would be head over heels for me and yet, I find myself a bit smitten to your looks." She said with an honest tone and giggled a bit. The one thing Hime loved about this woman was her eyes, the young woman would be able to see Hime's own black eyes glistening a bit, as she looked into hers. The girl introduced herself as Jessy and offered her a handshake, walking closer to her. Himeiji wasn't one to be rude and deny one a handshake and ended up giving Jessy a nice firm handshake herself. Despite how firm the handshake felt, Jessy would be able to feel how smooth and soft Hime's hand was in hers. The young woman held Jessy's hand even after the handshake and smiled a little more.
"My name is Himeiji, Himeiji Homura. Pleasure to meet you, Jessy!" Her voice seemed to sing in happiness as she introduced herself, even more so when repeating Jessy's name. A thought hit her after the greeting. How could somebody so nice and upbeat like this young woman here, be associated with such a callous and monotone man like Jey.
"Okay, so I'm really interested in how you two know each other, considering how the first few minutes I spoke with him, he was a... What'd you call him, Jessy? A douchebag?" She asked, giggling a bit and winking towards Jey as a form of her still joking around with the man.

[OOC: heads up, the banter gets a little dirty here ;\]
With Himeiji's confirmation of the crazy scenario that had presented itself to the girl, JessY was overjoyed as a result of the situation being made clear by the girl herself. "Oh my gosh, she called me pretty..." JessY said softly under her breath, barely able to contain herself. Just... how the hell did this happen? What was JeY or this girl trying to pull? There had to be catch, there's no way that this was that easy. The poor girl has an awful history of trying to acquire and staying with girlfriends, some she's made mistakes in herself and many, many more times where the other person was... Well, no need to get into the details. She didn't want to question what was right in front of her, but she didn't trust JeY as far as she could throw him.
With her looks complimented by another pretty girl herself, the eagerness in her introduction, the sheer random and bizarre nature of all of this... it just wasn't going to be that easy. JessY had plenty of her own questions to ask, but maybe she would keep those between JeY and herself. She wouldn't be given much of a chance, Himeiji was already curious about their relationship. What a bother. "Yeah, he sure is a Grade A douchebag, the 'A' standing for 'Asshole', but unfortunately he's handy to keep around sometimes. I just need to get him a maid outfit and--" she began saying, being a bit dodgy about how she knew him at first, but with JeY interrupting that would be cleared up soon.
"You'll do no such thing. We met because I'm her alternate self from another universe--" JeY wasn't going to get the limelight for long before JessY yanked it right on back. "Will you shut your whore mouth? Gosh it's like you suck cocks for a living." She was beginning to grow impatient, but JeY wouldn't take that so lightly. "You're one to talk." It almost made him want to laugh, if he was capable of expressing emotion. "Just let me." JessY now glared at her. The chaotic man's silent stare in response would be all she needed.
"Sorry about that, but yeah he's an alternate me and it sucks because of that I'm tied to him forever. If we want the whole story, well, it's super long so later, but for now, where shall we--" It was definitely clear that JessY wanted to get away as soon as possible, but not before JeY got what he wanted. "She owes me before she's allowed to take you away, you know." Aaaand now the girl was super mad. "Can't you just wait until after to get what you want? Jeez! Besides, if I heard you right, the date in it's entirety has not been paid yet~. So, go away, I'll let you know when we're done." JeY took deep breath in response. "And who was the one that just set you up with some pussy? Hmm?"
The girl's cheeks turned bright pink. He was right, and answering that question was a lose-lose situation. She didn't want Himeiji to have a disgusting opinion of her right away, before they really even had a chance to meet her. What could she say to wiggle out of this? Was this even a problem? She couldn't bear to look at the other girl in fear of seeing a face full of horror. "Yeah, whatever..." JessY said under her breath and sighed. "Well, this is embarrassing, haha, JeY what's up with being so dirty about it?" The nervous laughter in her voice said it all, and with that she dared a look over to Himeiji to see how she fared through the whole thing. Hopefully she would be pleasantly surprised with a positive reception, or at least a neutral one, over that last bit.
"Anyway, I recommend you step aside for now, JessY," JeY said, unfolding his arms and assuming a more defensive posture, spawning a bright Odachi blade made of pure, solid light energy in his left hand. As the conversation progressed, it was clear that between Himeiji and JeY that the fight was getting more and more inevitable. He had some excitement building up he wanted to over, and he was sure that halfway through their banter, she was receptive to it and ready to go herself. He just wanted to know a couple things about the girl for his own sake, but everything that could've been discussed with words would be far easier and more interesting to interpret as actions. "This might get a little messy." JessY stared wide-eyed. "W-what!? What the hell are you doing!?"

Himeiji watched in interest as Jey and Jessy conversed, with the latter seeming to dodge the question of how they met each other. The display was cute and it made Hime even more curious. Were they brother and sister, ex-lovers, or what? However, the actual truth was far from any sort of answer or expectation the assassin had at first. The truth of it was that Jey and Jessy were in fact alternate versions of each other from other universes. Hime looked wide-eyed at the two, comparing in how they were indeed alternate versions of one another. Though she was in shock, a small smile crept itself onto her face, and she chuckled softly.
"My my, yet you two act like brother and sister. How cute." She said as they started going back and forth at each other with their insults. Seemed like Jey was still looking forward to the information that Himeiji had owed him, and the young woman was ready to speak out about it, but then Jessy interrupted once more. Their banter went back and forth, eventually it came back to Jey referring to Hime as just being "some pussy," which didn't tick her off as much as it did Black Heart.
"Okay, Himeiji, stand aside. I want to kick this guy's ass." She said within the subconscious. Hime merely smirked and shushed her, much to the alternate persona's chagrin. Hime already figured Jey's personality as the type to be straightforward and not one to hold back their thoughts. He was much like Himeiji herself, though, she held a certain grace with her words, and refrained from using swear words, or other kind of slurs unless absolutely necessary. This was all interesting anyways, so why ruin it by growing serious, was her thought.
The true excitement, however, started to build up when Jey advised Jessy to stand back, as something was about to get messy. Himeiji smiled only briefly, before her eyes narrowed and sharpened themselves, her smile disappeared into a neutral look, as she took on a calm and collected state-of-mind. Rather than wait for the cute blonde to move out the way, Himeiji started circle around Jey, albeit slowly.
"Messy is an understatement. Both of us hold an intent that extends far beyond killing. This is going to be a blood bath." Her voice had changed drastically, no words were sung in that entire sentence. Instead, the sound of Himeiji's hand propping up the hilt of her blade and her right hand smoothing over the grooves in the binding of the hilt, signaled that she was getting ready.
At this point, she was facing Jey and at a safe distance away from Jessy. Six ethereal swords began to materialize at the back of Hime, giving her the appearance of a six winged angel. Himeiji was ready and the aura she was feeling from Jey was getting her just as worked up. Heart wanted this to be a dual effort, considering she wanted to kick his ass badly, so Hime allowed it. Two minds were better than one after all.

With a simple interjection, Himeiji confirmed JessY's suspicions that this was the intention all along. Horrifying was an understatement, but she took a few steps back while remaining rather speechless. "Of course, set me up with a date and the immediately proceed to murder her..." she muttered, but loud enough for everyone to hear. She definitely seemed distraught, but she definitely knew there was nothing she could do to stop JeY. Something also told her that Himeiji knew exactly what she was getting into; or didn't... "What do you mean by 'both of us'? I'm not aiming to kill, I'm only curious... besides, if I let your head roll, JessY here would never let me hear the end of it." Fair point. She knew exactly what her alternate self was up to, but that didn't mean she had to like it. Well, nothing could be done to prevent this anymore. JessY gave up. "Himeiji! I'm rooting for you! Kick his arrogant pasty-white ass!" The girl jumped and showed her enthusiasm for her blind date, meanwhile JeY simply scoffed to himself. [time for some... BGM!?!?] Himeiji may be flashy and all, but dolling up wouldn't save her from JeY's intended beatdown. He would start off strong but suddenly rearing his arm back and chucking his sword incredibly fast, the blade whirling vertically straight for Himeiji's core. As it flew, he quickly dashed up beside her to land a strong gut-punch, aiming high if she intended to dodge the sword, aiming low if she blocked or parried the flying blade. Inconsequential of the punch's connection (or lack thereof), he would vanish and instantly reappear over the girl's head to land a front-flip kick, vanishing again to appear behind her with a leg sweep to try and knock her off her feet while she was disoriented from the first two strikes, connecting that into a high kick in order to launch her into the air. Should he manage to be successful in launching her or at least getting the advantage, he'd queue up a burst of dark energy and fire it in missile form, three shots total, directly at her. Should he fail at landing first blood, he would recall his odachi blade and go on the defensive against whatever Himeiji might plan next. If she managed to exhibit a pattern shortly within retaliating to his attacks, he might try a counter attack or two of his won with a blade.

Himeiji smiled towards Jessy, but no longer exchanged any words. That was her small way of letting the blonde know that everything was going to be okay, in the case that Jey was being honest about just wanting info. But of course, in the next few moments she was going to be curing Jey's bout of curiosity with her. (Yes, all the BGM!!!) Jey threw his blade at Himeiji with incredible speed, power, and precision. That instant started the battle and three of Himeiji's swords had disappeared and granted her Sword of the Demon. This bolstered her movement speed and physical might by a great deal. This was coupled with Himeiji's blade already granting her a boost from the start, she was now even faster at this rate. When the sword tried to come in close, followed by Jey attempting to get her right in the gut, all he'd be met with was thin air, as Himeiji had already moved behind him while he was in the middle of his punch, patting him on the shoulder. She then saw how right after he performed his punch, he had seemingly vanished and reappeared to deliver a kick, which she merely side-stepped to pat his leg while he was still in mid-air, and he disappeared once more to try land a sweep kick from behind, which she merely hopped over to avoid (turning while hopping over to face him), before side-stepping yet another kick he tried to do after the sweep, and patting that leg as well. After his flop of attacks, Himeiji went to unleashing one extremely quick horizontal slash across his midsection against him. This slash was unique however, in that it was so fast it was really five slashes all quickly attempting to hit their mark in the blink of an eye. Should Himeij's patting on his shoulder and touch on Jey's leg occur, he'd begin to feel an irritation of his skin on those areas. Hime had then used her current quick speed to put just a few feet of distance between the two, as she assessed how her own counterattacks worked against the man.

Oh jeez, this chick was too fast! The battle's barely started and JessY knows of course JeY goes all Sonic the hedgehog speeds (except faster even) all over Himeiji, but just like that the winged assassin is all over the place too! She couldn't follow the fight worth anything, which was disappointing, but if her blind date could keep this up she might have a chance against this arrogant asswipe. Of course, JeY was only just warming up, he could get far more serious if he wanted to, but she hoped he would lay off the fancy shit for a while and give up sooner rather than later. She knows exactly how he works when he wants to fight 'for curiosity'. But damn, that chick could move, which made her even more excited and jealous at the same time. She felt so underwhelming.
Speaking of fast, JeY was just as aware and perceptive as the girl he engaged, not being so sloppy. as to let her lay a finger on him. There may have been one leg motion he couldn't quite interrupt as fast as he'd like in order to avoid the delicate brush of her hand entirely but he knew that if she stuck around for anything more than that she would be in a world of pain. She didn't press her luck either, a simple objective to get in and out. He knew what had happened immediately, even if he didn't feel it right away he could sense and external influence was passed from her hand.
Without a vulnerable target int he air, he stuck with plan B to raise his sword rather than launch any dark energy, and just in time too. There was an incredibly loud clang of her attack meeting his defense, or rather five ordinary clangs going off all at once. It was just that however, no barrage of strikes like he expected. OH well. JeY was pushed back slightly from the exertion of fish slashes at once, and the dark chick flew back of her own accord to gain distance. Starting to feel the irritation, a flash of brilliant yellow light swirled around JeY which removed the factor entirely. He couldn't rely on that as healing was only going to work so much, but now that he was aware of her gimmick it would be far easier to account for in attack patterns. It's a shame it was such a weak gimmick, relatively.
Well, if the girl wasn't going to induce a series of strike despite having the perfect opportunity earlier, maybe she wasn't as confident in her swordsmanship as she thought? Well, there was one way to test that. JeY threw his odachi to the side where it faded away before it hit the ground and rose both of his arms to produce dual Zweighanlders, swords almost as big as JeY himself in terms of height, with the width being almost enough to completely cover his skinny abdomen. They were clearly blades meant for both hands, though with a slight swashbuckling session he displayed that he was able to maneuver them quite easily with just one hand. "Boo! Showoff!" JessY yelled from afar, JeY simply ignoring her. He didn't make it obvious that he was going to attack either, it was only in the middle of an idle wrist flick that he would suddenly dash toward his opponent again.
The first strike was a strong overhead swing on the left being immediately followed up with a horizontal slicing blow from the right. He would use this momentum to spin his heel and bring the other blade up and to the left and stab the right one straight forward, having massive reach from the sword's massive side. With momentum and raw strength to keep everything moving fast, he'd keep pressing the combo until he struck or Himieji moved out of range, though if it wasn't too far he'd simply jump forward and continue. His blades were long enough that in order for Himeiji to counter attack she would have to move just slightly closer. That would be a mistake however, to strike would be to lower her guard against two different blades being swung at rapid speeds and to move closer would be to lose time to block an already-oncoming strike. He waited for this opportunity.

Himeiji kept her blade at the ready at all times, watching as the man decided to toss his blade, and watched as it faded from view before hitting the ground, to reveal two large two-handed blades, that he held with one hand each. Now, a normal thought would be that this guy would be slow using those massive blades to attack someone as fast as Hime, but she remembered how he handled the odachi, something that's already heavy for a normal person to use without two hands. He was going to come in and press the attack. Swords like those, you don't just keep the opponent away. It wasn't until the man charged at her with a burst of speed, that Himeiji knew how she was going to approach the situation.
Himeiji dodged to the the right of the overhead swing, but not too much that she lost distance with him. She'd then use a precise jump to get on top of his other blade, when he came in with the horizontal slash from the right (Hime's left basically). When she landed on the blade, she got on in a balanced and low-crouching state, that had one hand on the blade, beginning to rust it. Without missing a beat she unsheathed her blade once more for another multitude slashes to his right hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, and upper-body, avoiding strikes to his head in the meantime. She'd then jump over his head to land some distance behind him

What a fascinating stunt! Too bad he's seen it done before. Himeiji was certainly not the first to try and jump onto his massive blade and JeY was willing to put serious money down that she wouldn't be the last either. It was eerily popular with fighters these days, something he never really experienced in the realm of Shadowbeings but something he's encountered more often than he ever would've believed here. Still, she would gain no advantage from the attempt, and even if she touched his blades anyway, they were not made of anything she could possibly tarnish with rust. Solid energy had to be negated through a much more intricate process.
The way she jumped was clearly indicative of landing on the sword to him, recognizing the signs immediate, giving him plenty of time to say and perform his reaction at the same time. "Like I haven't seen that before," he said as the sword in his hand vanished completely, causing her to land on absolutely nothing, while his follow up with the other sword came pretty quick in an attempt to catch her off guard, which if his massive blade connected it would sure pack a wallop. She was quick though, and JeY didn't entirely rely on his perch denial effort, brandishing his odachi blade in the newly freed hand to counter her attack with effective parries, all while JeY wound up his Zweighandler again for a strike as soon as possible.
For an attack like that, Himeiji would have to be pretty strong to fully block that swing, otherwise his blade would push right through with its momentum and knock the assassin girl right onto her back. Dodging backwards means she probably wouldn't make it away in time due to the blade's length. Over her options, she chose to jump over him anyway, narrowly avoiding the oncoming attack. Her mistake though, especially with the distance she traveled, she took way too much time to get away. Awaiting Himeiji's landing spot would be several dark tendrils with bladed, dagger-like ends which suddenly emerged from the ground. The first couple would lash out and attempt to wrap around the girls arms or legs in an attempt to bind her, while the rest would furiously whip at random to inflict as much injury as possible.
Turning around, JeY wouldn't waste any time following up (regardless if she was caught or not) by despawning his odachi once more, aiming his hand, and firing a few strong bolts of shadow energy in her general direction. If she wanted to get close again, that would be up to her discretion, though JeY was firmly planted for now.
