Xander could only help but smile at Saleth's reaction to what he had asked of her. Truely it was a sight to see her act this way. While this girl was normally stern and stoic with her composure, now she was blushing and tripping over her words and actions in front of him. He watched in silence as she spoke and stood up from her chair and attempted to throw waway the statue he gave her. While she put on a act how she didn't want it and that his silly gift wouldn't woe her heart it was still one of his crystals. No matter where he was or where they were he still could sense where the crystals were so he knew that she didn't throw it away rather that she had just placed in on her person. Whatever the reason was she wanted to hide the fact that she did like it he would keep his mouth shut about it it for the time being. Xander's spears lifted them selves up from the ground and started to float around him.
Placing back on the gauntelts he took off he chuckled a bit before standing up he quietly walked over to Saleth and wrapped an arm around her waist placing his hand on the outside of her left leg. Draging her away from the cafe keeping a tight hold on her so that she wouldn't be able to squirm away from him having his arm around her. “Come now if that little trinket didn't really impress you lets see more of this town.” Xander stressed the word didn't to show a slight hint on how he might of known that she didn't throw away the gift he gave her. As he brought her to an open lot with two blue bats laying on the ground. “Hmmmm I thought there would be something interesting down this way.”
While looking for another path to go down he saw something that was really strange. The lone heartless that he had crystallized before was being carried by two other heartless down a path towards what he could assume was the outskirts of the town to the forest. Xander stopped and looked at the strange sight before the heartless took their prize around the corner out of view. “I know I promised you some fun and excitement, but I think seeing heartless carrying away a crystallized one is a bit more important then looking around.” With a sly smile on his face he moved his hand to ontop on Saleth's rear and took a nice firm grasp on it for a quick moment before letting go and running after the heartless. “Move that nice ass and lets see what those heartless are up to.”
Xander followed the heartless not knowing if Saleth was behind him or not at the moment he was more interetsted in why these heartless were taking one of the ones he had turn into crystal away and where they were taking it. As he turned a corner he lost the heartless in a crowed of people walking around what looked like a shopping district. Before he had a chance to look around for the heartless a large fimilar roar echoed out from the forest and birds flew off from the trees in the forest. Xander ran towards the woods and what he saw there was the same heartless he had just defeted before only this time it was much larger and had twice as many arms. “Oh fuck.....”

Saleth wasn't aware that Xander could very well sense where she had actually put the crystalline figure he had given her. If she knew, well, she would be rather embarrassed right about now. It was a lucky thing, for her, that he chose not to say anything about it. Although, seeing Xander's spears lift up and rotate around him made her wonder if she had gone a bit too far with her ranting. Maybe she did go a bit overboard? Anticipating an argument or even a fight, Saleth watched him carefully. If it would turn into a fight, she was ready.
However, what happened instead caught her offguard once more. Without warning, the human just simply chuckled as he put on his gauntlets and approached her. Were they going to fight? Before she assumed that would be the case, he had gone and wrapped an arm about her waist rather tightly. Not understanding why this human male wouldn't just leave her alone, Saleth growled at him as he lead her out of the cafe. No matter how hard she squirmed, she could not break his grip on her.
"Let go!" Saleth snarled at him but he didn't seem to hear her.
As the pair of them got outside of the cafe, Xander took that moment to speak to her. Just what in the worlds was wrong with this human? She couldn't understand why he wouldn't just simply leave her alone. As he spoke, she frowned up at him despite her blazing face. Yes, her face was beat red, nearly almost as red as her hair right now. Despite her display she had put on in the cafe, he seemed to dismiss it as nothing. Unfortunately for her, it looked like she ran into someone persistent. Someone that just wouldn't give up from the looks of it. Even though she had pretended to throw the trinket away, he was still determined to keep her nearby and force her into a sight seeing. He confused her greatly since, she thought, he had wanted to leave immediately. The way he had emphasized "didn't" thought made her wonder if her little display was even believed or not. Had she not been that convincing?
The pair of them came out to what looked to be the Sandlot where the locals, the children, tended to play. There was nothing but two blue bats on the ground. Honestly, Saleth wasn't surprised. She had seen what this place was like beforehand. Xander simply remarked how he thought this would've been interesting. Before Saleth could say anything though, movement in the corner of her eye made her look over. There were two Heartless carrying the one that Xander had crystallized earlier. Where they were taking it, she couldn't be sure. Having spotted the Heartless as well, Xander remarked how it was now more important to check out what those Heartless was doing. Saleth couldn't help but look over at him with some annoyance. It was because of him that she had been dragged out here. She could care less about sight seeing.
Without warning, before Saleth could react, Xander had grabbed her butt! Then, ran off after making a comment about it! Face turning a deep shade of red, Saleth's pupils narrowed into cat-like slits in her annoyance at being grabbed there. How dare he touch her like that?! "WHY YOU LITTLE-!" before she could react, and probably punch him for grabbing her rear, Xander took off at a run. None too happy, Saleth chased after him in her anger. It wasn't until they reached the town's square when something was amiss. A loud roar was what had given her pause. It's what saved Xander from a punch to the face. It sounded like the roar was coming from the forest. Seeing Xander run in the direction of where the roar had come, Saleth chased after him. Why she was following him was beyond her but she was curious about the roar. Sure enough, as she finally caught up to where Xander was, she heard him utter a curse. Peering over his golden head, she managed to spot the Heartless they had fought previously. This time, it was larger and had more arms.
"Hmph, that damn thing doesn't know enough to stay dead!" Saleth growled at it.

Xander sighed as the monstrous heartless slammed down one of it's arm down towards Xander and Saleth. Xander jumped towards Saleth and held her as his momentum pushed the two of them out of range from the attack of the heartless. As they landed on the ground he ended on top of her, as another fist came down to strike him he made his lances form a prison around them to keep them from being struck down. As the heartless cried out in pain and recoiled backwards Xander looked down at Saleth and just then noticed where his hands were on her. Each one of his hands were unfortunately placed for Saleth were on her breasts. Xander smiled coyly as he took a firm grasp with each hand before he spoke. “This wasn't how I expected to get my hands on those, but I guess beggars can't be choosers huh hot stuff.” Xander moved one hand to brush back some of Saleth's hair that had fallen on her face when they fell. Xander leaned down and kissed Saleth on her lips. It was a few good moments before he pulled away and smiled at her. “Now lets kill this thing together.”
Xander's spears flew up from the ground as he stood up keeping his back to the fallen Saleth. Lunging forward towards the massive heartless that by now had recuperated and was ready to attack again. It let out a roar smaller heartless appeared from no where lunging at Xander and Saleth. Using one of spears he was able to fight them off, however the heartless used two of it's massive hands and with a great force he slapped them together right where Xander was trapping Xander between it's hands. The force of the monsters hands coming together caused a sonic boom to happen and radiated outward pushing everything backwards a bit. Xander was safe he was able to protect himself from the attack by using his crystal barrier to block the attack. However to anyone watching it would of looked like he would have been crushed by the massive force created by heartless. The large heartless kept it's hands closed as it and the other heartless all rushed at Saleth.

Saleth gaped as the thing made to strike for them. Xander had been the first of them to react, leaping back toward her to bring her down. Saleth didn't even have time to react as they fell. What happened next, well, Saleth wasn't too happy. Xander didn't seem to realize where his hands were placed. He was too busy worrying about the Heartless as it tried to make another strike. Fortunately, Xander managed to get his spears up in time to encase them in a sort of spiky prison. The Heartless, having chosen to strike at that moment, had injured itself on the spears. It cried out in pain and recoiled from the spears as a result.
It was around now that Xander finally realized where his hands were. Instead of reacting in a fashion where one should normally take their hands away swiftly in embarrassment, Xander decided to be a pervert and squeezed them. A deviant smile was on his face then as he spoke. Almost immediately, Saleth blushed furiously. How dare he?! "H-HOW DARE YOU!" Saleth snarled up at him. If he let her up, she had the right mind to slap him across the face for his perversion. Before she could lift her hand to do so, Xander surprised her with another move.
Saleth's eyes widened as she felt the touch of Xander's warm lips against her's. If him grabbing her in inappropriate places hadn't been enough, he now went and kissed her! That surely sent her brain into a short circuit. In fact, she was so surprised that she had been dumb stricken. Xander would find no resistance from her during the time he locked lips with her. The whole process lasted or a while. Saleth wasn't even sure how long it lasted before he had finally removed his lips from her's. Saleth had been so caught off guard, not for the last time, by this human that all she could do was just look back at him in surprise. Her face, of course, was colored once again. She barely registered what he had even said to her before getting up and turning his back to her.
For a moment, Saleth remained on the ground, too dumb struck to move just yet. It wasn't until the Heartless roared again when her senses finally returned to her. Shaking her head, Saleth jumped to her feet in one fluid motion. Xander had his back to her as he fended off what looked to be smaller Heartless. "You're lucky these Heartless are here right now!" she growled at his turned back. Saleth would not attack someone with their back turned to her. She had her honor as a dragon, after all.
Just as she was saying this, however, the larger Heartless stooped down and slapped its two hands over Xander! From her point of view, it really did look as if the thing had squashed him like a bug in the middle of its massive hands. "NO!" Saleth suddenly shouted. Why did she shout? Maybe it just surprised her? Really, today just seemed full of them. Why did she...did she care for the sake of that human's life? Why? He was just a human. He was like the rest of them...well, save for his oddity in not leaving her alone. Shouldn't she hate him? Especially after the things he had done? No, for some reason she felt anger directed toward the Heartless all around her. All of them were charging right for her too now! If she tried to transform in such a close proximity, she would risk getting hurt bad.
Looking to and fro, there was only one thing she could do. Leaping into the air, Saleth let her wings spread out and took to the sky. She would have to fight from on high, it seemed. Circling, Saleth went for the largest one, diving for its head wit the intent of striking one of its eyes if she could.

Xander was a bit shaken up from the impact of the heartless's clap, even though he was safe inside of his barrier he was tossed around because of the force that the heartless had generated from claping it's massive hands together so rapidly. At the same time he heart a loud cry that out from Saleth. With that in mind he started to shake off being stunned as his barrier slowly started to dissapate the heartless continued to try to crush him. Xander was lucky that his spears were along with him he comanded them to rapidly circle around him at an angle where they would start to dig into the monsterous heartless's hands.
The Heartless raised it's other arms in a response to what Saleth was attemting to do to it. While Saleth was fast it was faster then Saleth. Using it's massive free arms it slapped Saleth down on to the ground as if she was nothing more then an annoying fly. It slowly pulled it's hand away off of her even going as far as to let out a small laugh as if it was sure that it was rid of Saleth for good and at the same time mocking the dragon's foolish attempt.
The heartless eventually let go allowing Xander to quickly move away and toss all but one of his spears at the main body of the heartless. How ever the spears bounce off of the body of the heartless. Xander landed near Saleth and wrapped his arms around her. “Hey there now I heard what you said and I am here.” As the Hearless started to attack Xander raised his wings around him and Saleth taking the blunt of the damage from the heartless to keep her safe.

Saleth was almost right at where they eyes on the Heartless. However, she didn't put into account the other arms of the creature. Before she knew what hit her, Saleth felt a world of pain as she was knocked to the ground. She had just been swatted out of the air like a fly. Gritting her teeth, Saleth didn't move for the time being. It hurt to much to even try to lift her head right now. So, she remained still as the Heartless let out a laugh as it removed its hand from her. Struggling to turn her head to look up and over at him, Saleth's eyes narrowed. She struggled to try to push herself back up to try for it again.
Of course, she knew it would likely be another foolish attempt. In her current form, she wasn't much of a challenge to things larger than she. Sure, she had the Dragon Fist technique but that didn't always send large foes staggering like the one she was faced with right now. Where she could likely escape on her own, Saleth did not wish to. All she wanted to do was rip that single large Heartless to shreds! Besides, she was a dragon. Even if things seemed slim, dragons didn't flee from battle. Only the dishonorable and disgraced ones did like cowards. Saleth was no coward.
"Damn Heartless!" Saleth hissed. Just as she was straining to push herself up onto her hands and knees, preparing herself to try and get back up on her feet, something happened. Blinking, she suddenly found herself looking at what she had thought to be a ghost. Somehow, Xander had survived that attack from the Heartless and was now next to her, embracing her. Confusedly, Saleth listened to him speak to her in what sounded like a reassuring tone of voice. He had heard her? She wasn't sure why but she suddenly felt awkward again. However, she really couldn't do much about her situation anyway considering how hard she had been hit. She shut her eyes tight when the Heartless made to attack them. When no pain came, she opened her eyes to look at what was happening. Xander was...protecting her? Confused, Saleth peered up at him. Why was this human helping her?
"I-If I could...just...transform....I'd give that bastard a...run for his munny!" Saleth growled. It was clear though by the way that she was breathing that she had been hit pretty decently. Considering she didn't wear armor like Xander, it was going to take her a while to recover from such a hit. However, she pushed herself to get back on her feet again. Man did her head swim!
"He slapped me down pretty good." As if to emphasize this, she shook her head as if to rid herself of the dizzying feeling that she felt.

Xander's back and wings continued to take hit after hit from these heartless, their claws tried to dig into his armor, but with little success they did nothing besides cause Xander to feel the pressure building up from all their constant attacks and weight as they piled on top of him, but it didn't matter for some reason he wanted to keep Saleth safe. As he heard what she said about being able to take down the larger heartless if she could only transform he smiled a bit. “How about I give you that chance then?” Using all of his strength his wings opened up and he stood up knocking the heartless off of him and into trees around the woods. A few of the heartless vanished after hitting the trees because of the force that Xander flung them off of him. Xander slowly stood up and looked at the large monstrous heartless that loomed over the both of them with the intent to kill them.
The ground around Xander's feet started to crystallize as he held his ground as braced himself for the attack that the monster heartless was sure to unleash upon the two of them seeing how they weren't dead yet. With four of it's arms it swung down at both Saleth and Xander. Using his wings and his own hands he blocked all four of the arms. The heartless however did not give up and started to apply pressure trying to crush Xander. Xander was pushed back as his feet dug into the ground that wasn't yet crystal. Using all of his strength he could barely keep the arms of the heartless from crushing him. Looking back at Saleth with a smile he tried to keep the fact that he was struggling from Saleth, but it was clear to see that he was even thought he was smiling. “I've got him so when ever you want to step in there sexy.”
As Xander spoke to Saleth he didn't notice that the remaining smaller heartless started to surround him. As he finished speaking the small heartless started to attack him from all sides. Xander just stood there taking the hits as he waited for Saleth to transform. Each blow he took he slid back a bit more until his back was against Saleth, however he still kept the arms of the large monster heartless from crushing him and Saleth.

The Heartless lunged forth but Xander seemed to not be bothered by their attempts at attacking them. He had made sure to put himself well between Saleth and the horde of Heartless. His armor, whatever it was made out of, protected the human well. Its ability to withstand such attacks was a marvel to behold. It was still confusing to her as to why this human would bother protecting her when she had been so confrontational with him. Shouldn't he just leave her to die here? His protecting her made no sense to her. Maybe his honor didn't allow him to leave a lady in distress? Regardless, Saleth might be female but she was a dragon! Dragons weren't what people would normally try to save when you were a human. At least, that was what she seemed to think after that terrible time she had in that prison she had escaped from. She still had a tattoo on her wrist where her prisoner number had been etched. Thankfully, her wristband concealed it from view so only she knew of its existence there.
After having told Xander that she would likely be able to take on the larger Heartless if she could only transform, Xander simply stated what if he gave her that chance? Standing suddenly straight, Xander flung the Heartless off of his wings and back sending them flying. Some had been destroyed just by the fling he had done. The larger Heartless made to lunge for them but Xander caught all four of its arms with his wings and hands. As if noticing this, the large Heartless began to apply pressure onto Xander. Saleth was certain that the human had to be feeling it now as she pushed herself up onto her feet staggeringly. With Xander serving as a barrier between herself and the Heartless, she had a perfect opportunity to change form and she was going to take it.
As if knowing this, Xander had turned his head to look over at her with a smile on his face. She had to give this human credit for managing to hold his own and smile so carefree about it when it was clear to her that he was struggling. No doubt, he was trying to not make her worry...or it was his male instinct to not let a female know he was struggling. Whatever the case, Saleth appreciated the chance. However, she did give him a disgruntled, flat look when he had called her sexy.
"The name is Saleth!" she growled at him as a light engulfed her. She was forced to move a few steps back when Xander's back had reached her own as she moved. If she transformed right when he was too close she would risk crushing him in the process. When the light faded away, there was Saleth in her dragon form. The larger Heartless took notice of her. As it made to release what pressure it had been putting on Xander, Saleth leapt over Xander's head and tackled the larger Heartless. All four of its arms flailed helplessly as she latched onto the thing's face with her maw. Smoke rose from her mouth as she breathed and then blew out fire right into the Heartless's face making it scream out in agony.

The large heartless continued to scream out in pain and terror as it's face was slowly metled away by Saleth's fire breath. At this rate it wouldn't take long before it would be killed by Saleth. It's arms flaied for a while before they would go limp and it would turn entirely into black smoke. Xander was happy that he was able to finnaly fight back against the smaller heartless that still remained. Tried and in pain from the constant barraged they had unleashed against him he just used his fists against them. At this point he didn't care if it caused him to take more hits than using his skills he just wanted these hearless gone. Still he couldn't help but smile when Saleth spoke back to him telling him to call her by her name and not sexy. He didn't understand why she didn't like being called that she oviously was very attractive at least to him.
Once the last heartless fell he saw that the Saleth had killed the large beast he was rather glad too, because he wasn't feeling up to the task of fighting with that thing again. As he walked toward Saleth he noticed movement in the house that was at the edge of the woods. Someone in a dark coat walked passed a window before vanishing. Xander tried to run to the house, however the fight had taken it's tole on him and he was only able to move slightly faster than his normal walk. He didn't say a word to Saleth about his pain, but the way he walked leaning to one side it was obvious that he could fall over at any time. As he reached the gate he turned back to Saleth keeping a smile on his face. “Hey lets look inside there real quick. Oh and Saleth you were stunning and beautiful.” Xander leaned against the gate keeping himself up.

Saleth kept barraging the giant Heartless with her fire breath now that she was in her dragon form. She would teach it who was boss! When the Heartless finally died and went limp, only then did she stop to inspect her handiwork. As if to confirm her suspicion, the Heartless turned into a large pile of ash. Saleth let out a delighted growl to see the thing dead. Triumphantly, she let out a bit of a puff of smoke at it before glancing over at her now much smaller comrade in battle.
Xander had managed to defeat the remaining smaller Heartless. However, the fight had clearly taken a toll on him. Saleth watched as he walked over to where she was. For the moment, Saleth remained in her dragon form. She didn't see the movement since her head had been turned away from where Xander had spotted it. She took note of how Xander seemed to quicken his pace, looking just beyond her toward the mansion. Curious, Saleth turned her head to look over as well. She saw nothing before turning her head to peer back down at Xander. He was already at the gate but he looked like he could fall over at any given time. Despite this, he had a smile on his face before speaking to her. He wished to take a look inside the mansion. Such a request made Saleth blink down at him. Surely, this human was toying with her? As he leaned against the gate, he didn't hesitate to compliment her. Such an act made Saleth snap her teeth at him and growl although her teeth only connected mere inches from his face, leaving him unharmed.
"Flattery, as I've said before, doesn't work on me so save your breath!" Saleth growled.
A light emitted and she was once again her humanoid form as she walked over to look up at the mansion with a disinterested look. "What is it that sparks your interest in such a place?" she questioned him before looking at the way he was leaning on the gate. "Are you sure it is wise to push yourself further when you cannot stand for long on your own right now?"

Xander could only smile as Saleth spoke to him her tone when she commented on him complementing her and the tone she used to try to get him from going on into the mansion was so diffrenet that he couldn't help, but to smile. “It wasn't me trying to flatter you babe it was just the truth as I see it.” He wanted to find out who was in the mansion because he had a feeling that the last time he fought against that heartless the same person was there. Even though I can trust Saleth, I'm not too sure how well she can keep her cool. I don't think it would be the best to tell her the whole truth just yet. “There's just something inside of there that I want to see.”
Xander lifted himself up off of the gate, however as he did he could feel his body wanting him to fall over. Seeing how Saleth was so close to him he gently wrapped one arm around her waist and leaned on her to keep upright. “You might be right about me not being able to stay up like this, but I know you have the strength to keep the both of us up. That's another thing about you that is truly magnificent. Besides when's the next time i'm going to be able to lean on you like this without you tossing me away.” As he finished speaking he kept a large grin across his face directed right at Saleth and slowly started to take a step towards the mansion.

Saleth scoffed at Xander when he spoke stating that he was merely stating the truth. Words would not win her over. Sure, dragons loved flattery but the treatment she received from humans in the past had only made her more guarded than ever before. She would not be an easy one. Regardless of her attitude, Xander just seemed to smile at her words. Why he wasn't deterred, she wasn't sure. Well, whatever. So long as he didn't push too many of her buttons she had no reason to try and eat him in her dragon form.
When Saleth questioned him about the mansion, Xander simply stated that there was something inside of there that he wished to see. She rose a brow at him. "If...you say so..." Somehow, she didn't think that he was telling her the whole truth. Well, she didn't question it further. If it were a trick, she'd just transform inside and then those around her would have hell to pay.
What happened next, Saleth couldn't have been prepared for it. Suddenly, Xander had leaned on her as he wrapped an arm about her waist. When he did so, she heard him speak. She wasn't sure if this was just one of his tricks to get this close to her or if he was being genuine. She guessed that he wouldn't be able to stand on his own. That much had been obvious.
"Don't get used to it!" Saleth growled at him before taking a step alongside Xander to support him the entire way to the mansion and inside of it.

Normally he wouldn't dare anyone to hold him up like Saleth was doing now because to others it would be a sign of weakness. However because it was her who was keeping him up he was rather pleased with the idea of others seeing him with her even if it was because he had taken a beating. As he pushed open the doors open a large dust cloud hit the both of them. The dust caused him to cough a bit and he let go of Saleth and hobbled over to a wall laying against it as the dust started to settle down. Taking a quick look around at the area he could see that it was abandoned.. With a sarcastic tone in his voice he spoke “With a bit of work this place would look nice huh?” both him and Saleth could see that this place was a mess things were scattered all over the floor and bits of broken glass and old furniture seemed to be the only things still left in the house. Even still the house had an erire feel to it as if there was still something living in the house.
As Xander looked around more he noticed that the house was rather silent even for an abandoned place. While he was outside with Saleth he could hear the birds and the sound of the leafs rustling with the wind. Yet inhere none of that sound seemed to enter even though the door was wide open. There was something strange about this place that seemed to drawn him in and the figure in the black coat was just in this house a few moments ago or was still here. Slowly getting up off of the wall he was leaning on he could feel how hurt he actually was as the first step he took he almost fell over, yet he caught himself before he hit the floor. Slowly walking he started up the stairs towards the second floor of this place. Half way up the stairs he looked back down at Saleth and smiled “you know you would look amazing in a dress in a house like this.” (Feel free to move my broken limping mess of Xander around the mansion as you please Xp)

Saleth said nothing as the two of them approached the mansion. As they walked over to it, the hairs on the back of Saleth's neck prickled. With a careful glance, she didn't spot anything out of the ordinary as they drew near the mansion. When they finally opened the doors leading into it, the pair of them were met with a nasty cloud of dust. Saleth had to give her head a bit of a shake as she breathed out harshly with her nose to prevent the dust from getting into her nostrils. She wasn't currently in her dragon form but out of habit now, she tried her best to prevent herself from sneezing. After all, if she sneezed in dragon form she had a habit of accidentally setting things on fire.
As soon as they were both inside, she heard Xander speak. As he spoke, she looked around with a slightly raised brow. Well, if there weren't a ton of broken things this place might have once looked nice. "I think it'll take more than a bit of work to get this place clean and spotless again." Her tone was void of severity. If anything, she was being blunt about this place. She was sure it must have once been beautiful but this place had certainly seen its days. Who trashed the place, she could only guess. Maybe unwelcome visitors over time had wrecked the place. Regardless there was a strange vibe in the air that Saleth couldn't explain. Whatever it was, it made her wary of their surroundings.
Xander had long since left her side and was making a painful trip up the steps of the mansion to reach the second floor. Looking up at him, she watched as he glanced over at her and went on to say that he thought she would look beautiful in a dress in such a house. In response, no surprise there, Saleth scoffed.
"Since when does wearing a dress in such a house matter when one could wear a dress at any time? Bah, dresses! I care not for the garment." Honestly, Saleth liked the old martial arts tunics or outfits like she used to. The silk was very comfortable and she was able to easily maneuver in them. "I prefer the silk garments of the martial arts attire I used to wear."
As Xander progressed further up the stairs, Saleth crossed her arms as she glanced around her immediate area.
