Leeto took long strides as she walked along the main street, having been sent on an errand by her parents. She carried with her a bag with a carton of eggs and she carried a jug of milk in her other hand. Her key hung at her neck, warm against her skin. As she passed a doorway hidden it shadow, it suddenly burned her. "Ow--" She stopped and turned her head towards the doorway... Curiosity overtook her. "What's this...?" She wondered aloud, Putting her hand on the door. It was high tech security hidden in those shadows... but she knew she could open it.

Raid strode down the street, silvery hair blowing in the slight breeze. He was on the opposite side of the street than Leeto, and very blissful, at the moment, but something brought his attention to the strange girl. He blew purple smoke from his mouth, pulling out the crystal stick that hung from hit. Amethyst eyes watched the girl until he couldn't help himself. He crossed the street, needing a better look.

Leeto heard footsteps coming across the street and in a surge of strange panic, opened the door as if it wasn't locked at all- As she pushed against it it opened at her will. The key on her neck seemed to pull her forward- away from the steps coming towards her and further into this... eerily technical building. The door was left wide open behind her, but she was too afraid to go back and close it. why am I so afraid?? I didn't do anything wrong... She thought to herself, but her nerves worked faster than her logic, and she was here now. She had officially trespassed... Her steps were cautious now, and she wasn't expecting raid to follow her...

A rush of panic, a quick shuffle of feet, a pushing against a door he knew to be locked. That did it. The hybrid's curiousity had been peeked. He cocked his head slightly at first, then followed her into the building filled with interesting technology that he had never really taken too much of an interest in. The girl, on the other hand, had already sparked something in him. And he hadn't even met her yet. Unlike her, he wasn't scared, and he wasn't foolish to keep the door which was supposed to be closed open. With calm, measured steps, he walked with abnormal speeds after her.

Leeto heard the steps then again, and her heart started beating faster. She started to run, taking turns at every bend, she skidded on the polished floor and fell. She picked herself up immediately and ran again, feeling the sting on her wrist from catching herself. This place was like a maze... Every wall was like an interface, every locked door held a high-tech secret. Leeto reached a dead end. There was a door on her right. A simple door strangely. Made of wood... She stepped forward and it opened fully for her, closing itself behind her without her even touching it. She checked the door... No lock. "Shit."

Raid followed her, his pace quickening every few steps. His steps, which had resounded throughout the building as his boots pounded on the metal floor, became softer, soon disappearing completely, though his speed was incredible, inhuman. He smiled, his lips twisting into something dark and strange. It had been a long time since he'd had a chase, the thrill of the hunt, It was exhilerating. He thought about simply putting himself where she was, but quickly decided against it. He wanted to run. He got to the wooden door, saw it close behind him. He decided not to try to open it. Ordinary doors in extraordinary places are not to be trusted. Instead, he pushed himself through it, turning to shadow and then solidifying when he was on the other side.

Leeto backed up against the wall when she saw him come in, "W-Who are you? Why are you following me??" The key at her neck glowed with golden hues as she spoke- He could not lie. "What is this place anyway?" She quickly glanced around the room, which seemed surprisingly empty except for the far wall, which was a strange tinted blue. The ceiling hung low, and there was no window. The only light seemed to be coming from the unusual wall... "What do you want?"

Raid let out a small laugh as his body slowly solidified. Some shadow still clung to him, "My name is Raid. I'm following you- I'm chasing you- Because," He smiled, his purple eyes raising to focus on her, "Because you were running. As to what this place is," He shrugged, cracking his neck, "Truly, I don't know. Some tech place, I assume. I'm not sure. I've never really gotten into this stuff. And, for what I want, well... I wanted to chase you. You seemed interesting. So I chased you."

Leeto just stared at him... "So, You just saw someone running and decided to chase them?" Her eyes were wide and she had a look of disbelief, ". . . Your not trying to kill me or anything??" She sighed, "Let me assure you, I'm not that interesting... You scared the living shit out of me you know..." She admitted, still a bit stirred up about the whole thing. She didn't trust this guy at all. But, she knew he hadn't been lying. He wasn't out to kill her, he just followed her because... he thought she was interesting? Leeto nearly laughed, She was probably the most normal person in the city. He's probably disappointed.

Raid shurgged. His eyes burrowed into her. The surface of her soul, that's what had caught his eye. There was something about it, something different Could be nothing but a spot of interest, just a little spark, but he was bored, and he liked it. His eyes pushed through her, penetrating her soul, going deeper than the surface.
"That's right. I followed you because you seemed like a person to follow. You were running, I gave chase. Just pure fun. Anyways, if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already. Don't worry, you're not one of my marks, and it's not your time to go yet."

Leeto felt strange. Her key seemed to be burning her skin now for no reason at all... She shifted her weight and crossed her arms. "What do you mean, one of your marks?" She asked, a waver in her voice because of the strange feeling she had. She didn't like the way he was looking at her. It was like he was seeing something that she couldn't. She felt very uncomfortable, "So this is a tech place. I could have said that much... Raid is it?" She moved over towards the blue wall, just because anything was better than standing there with his scrutinizing gaze on top of her. It seemed to get brighter the closer she got... "I wonder what this does." She found herself saying aloud, curiosity striking her again...

Raid smiled wryly, the smile of someone who knew something everyone else didn't. It was a smile he put on a lot. It was also the smile of someone who preferred to keep secrets. He pulled the crystal stick out of his mouth, puffing sweet-smelling purple smoke, "Well, like I said before, I never much got into the whole 'tech' deal. But I'd notice a reaction anywhere. A magical sort of reaction, though whether it's brought on by magic, I don't know," His eyes still pounded into her soul, but he let his attention go to the key around her neck, "That thing is reacting to something, and that blue wall over there is reacting to something. Logic would dictate that they're reacting to each other, but I could be wrong. They could be two unrelated things."

Leeto listened, but only vaguely, her eyes were now fixated on the wall. She glanced at him with an expression that said 'why are you staring at me' before glancing back again. She reached towards the wall, giving him no direct answer to the statements and questions that she firstly had no control over, and secondly hadn't an answer for. "You think it's magical?" Was all she could find words to say. Her hand pressed against the wall, and the area around her hand seemed to open up, turn from bright blue to a complete white, and suddenly she pulled away. Shivers ran down her back, "W-wha--" She found herself retreating from it. What had once captivated her now pushed her away. As far away as possible. "What just happened?" She asked him directly, as if Raid somehow knew.

Raid simply smiled again, a smile that said he knew something, even though he wasn't exactly sure of it all. He did have some answers, though, he was certainly amused. He wanted to see where this was going, "Oh, it's most definately magical. I haven't seen technology react THAT way yet," He said as he watched her touch the wall, watched the wall turn white and, most importantly, watched her soul flare as she touched it. This had something to do with her, and he wanted to know what it was, and where it led, "Go ahead, touch it again."

Leeto was kind of scared of the magical wall now. When she had touched it before it had shocked her. It had felt like a bolt of something powerful whizzing through her being- like a jolt of electricity, only entirely different. "I-I don't know..." She said. Her key rested against her skin, as if waiting patiently for her to make her mind up... "Oh... well okay..." She said after a minute. Slowly she approached the wall again. Her hand was shaking as it was pressed against the wall.
She gave a small cry of pain as images raced through her head. I understand... She thought, as the first few pieces of knowledge flooded her mind. It's like a book... She knew now what the wall was. It was pure information. Her sense of curiosity was drawn to it, her key ached for it... "My key- It's--" She couldn't finish the sentence. It was like something had stapled her tongue to the roof of her mouth when she tried to say it... She tried saying something else she learned from the breif moment of touching the information, "You're death... and... This place is run by the government. they kidnapped inventors and kept them locked up somewhere in this building. By my guess, the world should be twenty times more advanced than it is... but they were keeping all of this away from us... I just don't know why..."
Leeto turned to Raid then, "I wonder what would happen if you touched it.." She inquired shakily. That whole experience startled her, but made her quite excited as well. She wanted to know everything.

Raid stared at her as she touched the wall, watched her soul pulsate as the knowledge swept through her. He watched as she pulled away, watched as she touched the wall again, things suppressed, things that shouldn't really be known flooding into her. At least, things that shouldn't be known by her. As he had thought, the key seemed to react to the wall. He smiled as she spoke.
"Yes," He said, bowing, "I am death. Ruler of all in the multiverse. But, please, call me Raid," Standing up again, he leaned back against the metal wall he had been against before. Once again, his eyes lit on the blue wall, "And I'm not really sure what would happen if I touched it. Many things could happen. Nothing, for example. Or, my demonic blood and my angelic blood, along with the power of my soul, could react with the technology of the wall, causing it to malfuncture and, well, in short, blow up. But those are just two possibilities," He started to walk towards her a few steps.
"As for the government, I never liked them. Kidnapping inventors- Hmph. Like I said, magical in the loosest sense of the word. Anyways, they like to be in control, so they would hide things from you."

It still made Leeto feel quite upset. "Governments are supposed to help their people. Not hinder them as they have done.." Her hands pressed on either side of her head suddenly, a massive head-ache splitting her brain open. "Argh, annoying..." She said more to herself than to him. "This is all so confusing..." She shook her head. When he bowed she seemed a bit bewildered, "Am I supposed to curtsy or something?"

Raid laughed, "Hell no. You'd just look weird if you curtsied," He began to look around the room, studying what he had not noticed before, "And, as for governments... Kid, you have a lot to learn about this world. Governments may be supposed to help their people, but, after a while, they always end up hiding shit. Sometimes it's because they think that their people are better off without the knowledge, but, usually, it's just so they can maintain control."

Leeto looked him over, "You know, for Death... You don't know a lot of certain... I don't mean to be rude, but... shouldn't you kind of know the future and the past and all that?? Do you??" The blue wall seemed to be a weaker shade now, and she figured it needed some form of recharging or something before being used again...

Raid shrugged off-handedly, "I know a lot... A lot more than I let on. It's... Complicated. For example, if I wanted to, I could know when you're going to die, how you're going to die, where you'll go afterwards, what kind of life you'll lead. But I do have to... Eh... Think about it for a second, I guess you'd say. And I do know a lot about the past," He scratched his chin, his eyes looking up and past her, seeming to be thinking hard about sosmething, "But, to tell you the truth, my knowledge has more to do with the fact that I'm Death than vice-versa."

Leeto blinked, "Huh... Strange." She said, rubbing her temples to try and get the headache to go away. "What's so bad about thinking about it??" She wondered raising an eyebrow. "Does it hurt like this?" She said poking her own head.

Raid scratched the top of his head, "Well... First of all, I'm pretty used to pain. But, yeah, it's... Not pleasent. I have to channel the multiverse, in a sense. It's like the knowledge is inside me, but I have to access it... Shit, it's complicated, okay? Anyways, why would I want to know all that stuff? It's always in the back of my head, there when I need it, but, right now, why do I really care when you're gonna die?"

Leeto shook her head. The headache was starting to clear up, thank god, she thought to herself. That thought led to another, "hey if you are death, is there such a person like, as life??" She inquired curiously. Surely, she reasoned, if there was a physical death there would be a physical life, wouldn't there?

Raid laughed, his head rolling back, "Well, that's pretty good logic, good reasoning. You're a smart girl. But, technically, I am 'Life'. I am the medium between life and death, but I have rule over the dead. Life is ruled by the living. So, you know, I guess... We're all life, really," His words were thoughtful, eyes squinted.

Leeto gave a small smile, "Are you dead then, Death? I don't understand how death could be alive... It's a paradox..."

Raid's squinted his eyes again, "Again, it's not exactly that... Simple. I'm not really dead, just as a vampire isn't really dead, but I'm not undead in the way that they are. I am quite alive; My blood is warm in my veins and my heart pumps it regularly. And I will die some day, but, as of now, I exist in both realms," He let out a long-suffering sigh, running one hand through his silver hair, "It's hard, though. I watch people die everyday. I kill people every day. Facing my mortality constantly... Well, I guess it makes me appreciate these days more."

Leeto sighed, "Well, You sure are interesting... " She said with a small smile, "I, however, am a normal person... Despite your initial misconception, I'm nothing special. I'm an ordinary person. Okay- Gifted given, but who isn't now-a-days?" She paused.
"Oh wait... Where did I leave those groceries?" She glanced around her frantically. "Damn, mom and dad are gonna spaz..."

Raid laughed, "So, with all that knowledge you just gained, you can't remember what you did with your groceries? Probably left 'em outside somewhere," He shook his head violently, his hair going everywhere.
"Anyways, you're interesting too. You are special, in some way. I don't think I would've gotten the same reaction had I touched the wall."

Leeto shook her head, "Probably... " She blinked, suddenly recalling as well where she was. "Why are we just standing around? We are in a building full of secrets- Lets go unlock them!" She said with a grin, opening the door and going towards the room next door.

Raid smiled slightly, like he was amused by a child's game, then he turned to a shadow and materialized through the wall next to her, "You know, I never did get your name," He said, solidifying from his shadow form.
