Broken Melody To A Broken Heart(Private)

Allen found the young girl a breath of fresh, she was interesting much in her own way while being unique at the sametime. Others might find Nasuko annoying but to Allen, he admired her spirit. No matter what came at her, she always kept going with that care free attitude. It was something that he liked and respected, because he never really beleived in things keeping them down for too long.

He almost chuckled at her response, but reframed himself. Nasuko seemed innoncent in a way, and he knew other men would want to take away that innoncence. But not Allen. It actually made him want to protect her more, to shield her way but he supressed it. She might not apperciate such things and he didn't want to impose himself on her.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it. You're a charming girl in your own way Nasuko." He didn't elaborate much more on it as they Finally came into the sight of them both. It was a nice city, but it didn't look anything like any of the ones on Earth. Allen didn't pay attention to the stares he got from females, or the males glaring at him, wondering why such a pretty girl was travelling with Him.

"Let's see.." Allen began speaking to himself looking around. "There's gotta a shop somewhere.." Finally he saw a shop in the distance and made towards it. The sounds of metal hitting metal was heard, as well as curses. Allen went further, going to what looked like a garage.

"Excuse me?" He asked, gently putting the bike down.

A few more curses later, and a man with oil, sweat, shirt and pants came over with a tool belt. "You kids want somthin'?" Then he paused, as if in a trance at seeing the beautiful bike. "...Is she yours?" He asked in awe, not referring to Nasuko but the bike.

So, it was for the same reason as her. To get away from the high school dramatics. Sure it surprised her that Mephistopheles and Raziel didn't detect what she was planning after hearing the news but maybe they knew. Maybe it was hard for them as well as her, and Allen. Nasuko had seen the way Danielle changed after obtaining the group from Spira. The Cat Demon had become vacant both body and mind. Lance was there, not fondling her like he usually was; but tending to her and her needs.

Looking out into the vast landscape ahead brought her out of the thought of Lance. Just in time too. Allen had just begun to ask a new question and to which she answered. "Lance and Raziel had fixed it up for moi. Back when Earth was still floatin' around, I needed it for a job. Street Races, hell yeah!" She suddenly cheered, grinning wildly. "I won soooooo many interesting things that night!!! I also got a lot of attention from ze men folk attending za party....I wonder why...??"

Nasuko loved male attention but was rather clueless when it came to 'sexual' male attention. She was definately an odd-duck out.

To Allen, he might as well have been carrying a empty wooden box for all that much it weighed to him. It wasn't to say the young man was exactly Super Man or anything, but he could lift a lot when the time called for it. Nasuko seemed to have had this bike for as long as he had known her which wasn't all that long to begin with.

He kept pace easy enough, his strides neither too long or to short, just even. The next question Nas asked caused him to pause lightly, not physically but mentally. Allen could lie about the whole thing but he didn't see any reason too. Nasuko was a new leaf, so maybe this would be a start of a good friendship? Who was to say.

"I came here to get away from somethings." Allen started, his keen eyes trying to make things out from the distance. "..Mainly from Dani and Lance." He admitted. "I don't really want see them together right now and I need to get my head straight, so here I am."

"So, where did you get this bike from?" Allen said, changing the subject. He didn't ask what brought her out here, it wasn't his business. Not to mention he had the distinc feeling she too, was trying to get away for a moment.

She grinned. A map? He had a map of this wasted, spit of rock? How curious..not to mention awfully handy. Nasuko began to twirl a strand of silver hair between her fingers as she continued to think of the possibilites. The way she saw it? A key. A key to an escape route... one Lance, Raziel and Mephistopheles wouldn't be able to locate in an instant. Well...they could still track her down. Luckily she would know before they began the hunt. Sensitive Hell Hound side of the family did work after all.

When she turned to follow Allen's stride to the bike she watched with wide curious eyes. The Hybrid lifted the monsterious bike above his head as if it were nothing. "Bravo." She cooed softly with a generous smile. Some reason or another...If Lance had done that it would not have looked nearly as attractive as when Allen did so. Perhaps it was the showing of his muscles that caught Nasuko's attention. Now don't get her wrong, Lance DID have some nice muscles but being a Vampire makes them...not so defined. Nasu had to bite herself to awaken from her awe-struck stare.

"No no no, Monsieur! Yu 'annot pay for moi's motocycle! It be meh responsibility...plus I'm the rich bastard here so HA!" With a snort of victory, even if it was unclear whether she won this battle or not, Nasuko began to scurry forth in the direction of the city Allen mentioned. Her stride was like that of an eager puppy having been trained to stay close.

Between the bruised appearing lips that Nasuko often adorned echoed forth a dim hum. A haunting melody she had learned back when her parents were alive. The land around them had brought the memory drifting back, like a bottle caught on a wave back to shore. Land spread as far as the eye can see without a trace of something remarkable; it was...unbareable, like the desert. But even the desert held an interesting appeal.

"So....Allen..." Began the Mutt feebably. "What were you doing way out 'ere anyways...??"

Allen didn't know what exactly Nasuko was, as far as he knew she was a vampire mixed with demon blood and something else. He couldn't tell by scent or aura alone, he wasn't nearly as skilled at that thing to accurately say either way. If even her brother didn't know, what were the chances of him finding out what else lay in her blood? And on that point, Allen didn't care. To him, genetics were a very small part of you. It didn't matter what you were, it mattered Who you were. It was a strong beleif he carried with him as long as he could remember.

Quick Silver huh? So that was the name of the bike. He didn't know how to ride those things but it must have taken a lot of skill to drive something with that much speed. Since she had enhanced reflexes and perception, it was only natural she'd be able to ride one. A normal human would have likely broken their neck by now or worse.

The scene made Allen smile, if only slightly. He didn't laugh or make fun of her for what she did, instead he patiently went over to examine the fallen vechile. "We'll.." He began patiently. "From this map a more developed city isn't that far from here. If we get walking now, we could make it in thirty minutes and get it fixed."

Very gently, he picked up the bike with his abnormal strength(once she had let go that is) and hauled the over-sized thing over his shoulder. He didn't seem bothered by the awkward scene of someone carrying such a large bike, much less with little trouble. "I'll pay for the repairs once we get there ok?" He offered a smile, he didn't know why, but he always liked 'taking' care of his friends and the like, it was part of who he was.

As Allen began to speak, rather sheepishly she would say, Nasuko had twirled around on her thick, ebony high heels. Inspecting the damage dealt to Quick Silver was her highest priority. "I'm heading to the land of For-Never." She joked just as she knelt down beside the dirt bathed bike. Brushing away as much as she could Nasuko continued to inspect. It wasn't a goner but it wasn't ridable in this condition. "Actually..." With a sigh she aroused to her feet, both hands on her thin hips. "I'm...just sight seeing right now." What a lie.

As Allen felt the pain from Dani's rejection, Nasu felt the same. Lance was taken from her grasp. The love interest of her life ever since Mephistopheles and he had rescued the two from Romania years ago. But she would never allow Allen to see this side. This hurt, betrayed side. No, Nasuko was stronger than that. Much stronger.

"I don't see why we couldn't travel together." With a grin she whirled around to face the Hybrid. With her gray orbs she scanned deep into the crimson pools Allen held; wow...She never realized this but, he didn't look as 'human' as he once seemed. Obviously he wasn't Human. Raziel would have drank him dry by now if he was. But something about him now...Something a little stronger about his aura. Maybe it was the sun affecting the mind. Yeah, that must've been it.

"But Quick Silver is toast, Monsieur!!" Sudden panic washed across her doll like features. "Waaaahhh!!!" She threw herself next to the bike again, hugging the handle bars like a little girl with a lost dolly. "Magically fix yerself you idiotic contraption!!!"

Once the intial concern of Nasuko's well being was assured, did he feel the familar shyness of the opposite gender kick in. Granted it was normal for the hybrid to feel this way at first, at least until he got to know said girl. The closes one he had gotten to had been Dani..but right now he tried not to think about what had happened earlier.

"Uh..Oh right, sorry Nasuko." He said somewhat awkwardly as let the young woman down. It was still surprising someone that strong physically could be that gentle when he wanted to be. Allen was actually glad to see her, if not for the simple fact it would be nice to have someone else to talk. Provided they travelled together that is. But he wondered what brought her out here in the first place, had she come to get away as well.

He felt his face heat up and he turned away, the streching had drawn more attention to her curves then poor Allen wanted to think about right now.(Not to say he minded of course, nice guy or not he was still a guy-alien hormones included)

"So uh..Are you heading to anywhere specefic? Maybe we could travel together?" He didn't know how else to word it, but part of him didn't want to be alone. Geez Allen, get a grip.

Why she thought she felt the earth crash into her, she just didn't know. Even more so when Allen had been right there to snatch her right out of the sky. Her hair flopped around her skull wildly. How did Allen do that? Why? Nasuko realized not once in her entire life span, not once had anyone bothered to protect her from something as trivial like that. ...Why did he then?

Nasuko's dull, smoke hued orbs flickered across Allen's face. Had her crash landing been directed at him? Perhaps that was why he caught her like a falling star; to protect himself from bodily harm. Her eyes narrowed upon a stunning discovery. No where in his eyes did she detect the need to protect himself but rather, a glimer of kindness not seen before in a males eyes. How bizzare...

A flattering blush crept like a crippled spider on her papery white cheeks. "Oh come now. If we didn't, than life would be dull, no?" She spoke softly. With her index finger the Mutt brushed aside a loose strand of hair that tickled her jawline. "Now, Monsieur Allen...How about introducing moi to ze ground...??" With the same index finger she pointed down. Of course she didn't MIND this position but it was still new and would definately need time to adjust too. Whether Allen would still be there to cradle her was still being processed.

Once both feet were placed firmly on the ground Nasuko arched her back and streached, basking in the fading sunlight. "Mmmm.... My back was aching..." After a streach she reached to her goggles and adjusted them so they rested on her forehead; like a professional would do..in the movies at least.

Allen didn't expect any sort of company from either Meph or any of his family to find him--at least not so soon. His first instinc was thinking that maybe it was Dani.(of course that would be impossible, she wasn't the type to cruise on break neck speed on bikes) As the figure came closer and he could make out the familar waterfall he knew who it was almost instantly:

Nasuko.

He didn't know much about her, only interacting with her every once in a while. Allen liked Nasuko on a personbale level though, she was a bit strange but in a charming sort of way. He was always friendly to her while some of the others found her annoying, if nothing else she could make him laugh. But as the bike roared across the the tough ground, he could tell that something was bound to happen; it was Nasuko after all.

No sooner did those thoughts enter his head did the young half-vampire swirl out of control, and was promptly ejected from her seat. Allen knew on a logical level that Nasuko was tough being what she was, but another part of himself always felt the need to protect--even if they didn't want it.

More out of reflex, he caught the silver-haired girl before she could fall, stopping completely as if she had hit the breaks. If he was paying attention, he might have been blushing at the thought and stammering because a beautiful girl was so near, Meph would have said something if he was there.

"We really should stop meeting like this Nasuko." He tried to keep the conversation light as he smiled, even if it didn't quite reach his eyes.

Nasuko Moxington; a hybrid Vampire, an heir to a wealthy family, lover and protector of moths and evil ducks (not the ones that look at you funny mind you, the ones that bite if you don't give up that crumb), and all around hideously insane young girl. All the easier to have her way with the world. Yes Nasuko was in fact an odd duck, her brother Raziel Tepes mentioned this often during their childhood (even to this day). It was because of her odd appearance, her strange antics and behavior that made Nasu, well Nasu.

Ever since the destruction of Earth, the realm she had called home since birth, she and her elder brother Raziel had been traveling the far galaxy's all in hopes to find Master Mephistopheles. She worked under Meph; the man became a second father to her, in that 'you mess up once you're outta here' kind've way. And yet they were like best friends. Two peas on a pod...that was a small...small pod. After traveling several months the half siblings finally located Mephistopheles and his ever growing family of misfits.

It was Nasuko's fault when it came to picking a new home to live. Fault because she had been behind the wheel. The ship they cruised many moons with crash landed on an under developed planet. Just their luck. Oh well...One could live with what they were given.

Shortly after Allen left, this being Nasuko's first time meeting the Hybrid, the mutt also took advantage of the lax security surrounding Mephistopheles' groupies. Taking with her nothing but the sweet luxury of her life, Quick Silver, and some sample clothing from both Dani and Mephistopheles dressers it was the empty roads from there on out. Apparently the world wasn't so under developed as she and the rest had assumed previously. Sure roads would have been a nice comfort, but riding the menacing Demonic motorcycle through the terrain of this world was fun all the same.

"Over the bridge and through the woods, to grandmothers house we go..." Nasuko hummed, just barely over the screaming Quick Silver. Quick Silver rattled and roared between her legs, speeding faster than a bullet and the like. She had just bypassed a small cottage home, nearly ripping up the quaint bridge leading toward town as she passed. Mercury silver hair flickered and waved like a metalic ocean as she drove, helmet less. Milky white skin was barely visible underneath the leather outfit she adorned herself in.

Just outside the forest Nasuko snorted; a smell in the air...it caught her attention. "Wonder who that is...??" She murmured again, from behind the goggles she wore she scoped out the vast, empty horizon before her. With a simple twist of her wrist the bike howled at its owner, throwing up grass, dirt, and rocks in the process. Speeding even faster now she cruised, unconsciously following the aura she noticed previously.

A gasp. "A-Allen?! No...that's not possible. I thought the Moth-King gobbled him up!!" The aura lead her further into the empty plains and eventually to a lonely figure roaming the world alone. She squinted now. Yes. Yes that was indeed Allen! As an automatic reaction the girl flailed her arms as the body before her twisted around to see it's pursuer. Unfortunately Quick Silver decided it didn't quick like that notion. As if the earth beneath its massive tires suddenly coiled, the bike itself shifted and became unbalanced; the front tire crumpling to the side. With a gasp of surprise Nasuko suddenly felt her body launch passed the comfort zone of metal and leather. Doll like and flightless now she tumbled wildly in the air and with a crash, gravity kicked in quite noticeably. Her body rolled and crumpled into the dirt at Allen's feet. "..s-shit...."

Allen wished he could have another chance, one more try to make things right but that hadn't been the case. He had been so happy meeting Dani for the second time after being seperated for months at the very least. That happy bubble had soon evaporated as quickly as it had came when he noticed something different. He couldn't put his finger on it at the same, or maybe he didn't want to see it. It was pretty normal for Lance to give Dani that longing look that was subtle but still there if you knew where to look for. But he had noticed Dani didn't seem to protest to much at the half-vampires advances, didn't seem to mind, he brushed it off thinking it nothing.

He should have payed attention.

The hybrid was thought Dani was simply being Dani was to nice to flat out brush Lance aside, but that wasn't the case. Instead he noticed that the Cat Demon seemed to have a interest in Lance that he couldn't deny even in his mind. Allen didn't need to read minds what was going to happen next, but the last time he saw Dani she 'talked' to him to explain that the two did indeed have some sort of deeper then friendship relationship. It left a bittersweet feeling in his mouth.

Instead of the traditonal way average people would have responded like, Allen had merely been sad but happy at the sametime. He was happy that Dani seemed to be happy, and he was happy is brother-like figure finally got some happiness in his life. Lance had been through so much that he couldn't help but feel he deserved this much, but Allen just wished it could have worked out in the end but maybe it was better that way. The next day he had packed a few things, clothes, grooming tools, and food(lots of food of course). He wasn't the type to brood or wallow in self-pity but he needed to be away from the newly formed couple to get his head straight.

Before he left, he caught Lance alone and for a while he didn't say anything. The two had a odd relationship, like brothers but hid it behind insults and the like. Neither was truly comfortable with standard affection for one another, in short they were typical guys. Allen just stood there for a moment, then gave a brief half-smile before clapping Lance once on the shoulder, the closes physical affection he could give and said ttwo words that had a deeper meaning: Be happy.

And the next day he was gone.

Allen was travelling on the road, exploring the planet and seeking to improve his fighting skills. Despite it being a peaceful planet he heard there were many strong fighters, so his blood boiled lightly at the prospect of a challenge. Not to mention there was a tournament that involved people from different planets and he wanted to be ready. ..At the moment though he was lost. Figures. I should have known this map wasn't to good. Great deal my ass. Allen mentally snorted. Oh well, there was no use crying over what was done. Wait, what's that..?

Turning around he saw a dust cloud zooming towards his location fast. It sounded awfully like a motocycle, it couldn't be Nasuko could it?
