Visiting Japan(Tenshi)

[Keeley Zeklos]

Her road trip around the world was going perfect. She'd snuck away from her guardian so many times that she was actually able to have fun.

She smiled as she got out of the car, looking around the large mall she was now standing in front of. She turned to look at her guardian and frowned "If I promise to be careful can you follow me from a distance? Please?" she spoke, as usual he sighed, nodded and then took a few steps back so that he was at least four feet away from her.

She smiled in relief and moved through the crowd of the mall. It was very crowded but Keeley was easily spotted. Her light blond hair and icy blue eyes stuck out in the crowd.

She looked over her shoulder at her guardian before taking off at a run, hoping to outrun him and in this crowd, it wasnt impossible. After only a few minutes of running she was out of site.
Too easy she thought to herself as she made her way to a small cafe in the mall, ordering herself coffee milk and some mochi ice cream before taking her order and settling at a table.

She was happy to be able for a change today. She'd recieved a lecture from her father about not ditching her guardian again but as always, that didnt stop her...she didnt care if it was dangerous. She just wanted to have fun.

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi walked around Tokyo with his suitcase full of weapons. He loved the city. He watched its rise to power. Heck, he helped rebuild it after World War II. He saw a Moroi run into one of the malls, probably trying to escape her guardian. He decided to pay her a visit. He walked into the mall and saw her run into a cafe. He walked into the cafe and walked up behind her.
"I don't see many Moroi around here..."

[Keeley Zeklos]

Keeley had been enjoying her time alone...her time away from her guardian Ryan. Sure it wasn't okay for a moroi to run from her guardian but it was like second nature to her.
She smiled happily as she took a taste of her ice cream only to hear someone speaking to her. The voice, though non-threatening, startled her a bit and caused her to jump before turning in her seat and smiled at the man "And I dont meet many guys that scare the living shit out of me without knowing me." she joked lightly, coughing a bit as the ice cream went down the wrong pipe. Immediately she grabbed her drink and took a sip, sighing in relief "Do you wanna sit? Are you hungry? My treat."

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi gave a friendly smile. He silently read her mind. She was running from her Guardian. Apparently, this was a common occurence.
"Yes, I tend to do that. Then again, I'm normally walking around with enough firepower to overthrow a large city. No, I ate about an hour ago, but I'll sit." He sat down.
"Oh, I'm Tenshi Hikari no Sekiyo. If you want to get technical about it, I am Tenshi Ozera-Ivashkov. However, I would prefer Tenshi."

[Keeley Zeklos]

"Um, how many weapons do you need exactly? I was under the impression that one or two is more than enough. Why the need for so much weaponry? Trying to be a one man army?" Keeley grinned jokingly at the man and watched as he sat down across from her. He looked like a fighter. He had that whole 'i'll kick your ass' vibe dont to a T.
"Tenshi. Its nice to meet you. Im Keeley Zeklos."she replied politely, smiling as she took another taste of her ice cream "You were outside too when I first came in the mall..." she sighed a bit, she was very observant. At times she felt like she was her own guardian.

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

"Well, sometimes I need spares." He was joking. He just liked to use his revolver and katana for nostalgia. The other weapons were effective for his jobs.
"Very perceptive, but I don't exactly hide most of the time. Jeez, is your Guardian stupid? If it was me, you wouldn't have made it passed the front door." His criticism was biting, yes, but were not these guys protectors? They had to keep alert. Tenshi may not have agreed on that law about Moroi not fighting with their guardians, but it was still stupid that the guy would take so long. He was really trying to stall for him. Of course, Tenshi doubted that he would even look around here.

[Keeley Zeklos]

"Spares? How many spares do you need exactly? Im gonna take a guess and say that bag of yours isnt filled with clothes..." Keeley raised an eyebrow, staring at Tenshi curiously. It wasnt every day she met a moroi that had a bag full of weapons.
"Ryan isnt stupid." she spoke defensively of her guardian. Ryan had been her fathers guardian for going on twenty years and he was a very good guardian, excellent fighter, fast thinker, quick on his feet "Just because he's easy to get away from doesnt make him stupid, it just makes him a bit careless. Besides, im not exactly defenseless in a fight. I do know how to protect myself.

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi smiled. Of course they weren't filled with clothes. Why would he carry a metal, lead-lined suitcase filled with clothes?
"Well, sometimes I need something bigger than a revolver. Of course, if push came to shove, I have a jet fighter in my garage." If she thought Tenshi was kidding, she was sorely mistaken. The man was careless, eh? Tenshi supposed that carelessness was not the worst thing a man could have.
"Oh, and before you ask, I don't have a Guardian."

[Keeley Zeklos]

"A jet fighter? Seriously?" Keeley smiled a bit, clearly intrigued by this news. She didnt know Tenshi at all but for someone to hae a jet fighter and a bag full of weapons, she figured he must have alot of enemies.
When he said he didnt have a guardian, she raised an eyebrow and frowned "Y-you dont have a guardian? Why? Weren't you assigned a guardian?...." Keeley felt somewhat bad for this guy, he had no guardian and it looked as if he were traveling alone which meant he didnt have any friends "Dont you want a guardian? I mean, even if you are capable of protecting yourself what if you run into more trouble than you could handle?...I mean...if someone were to travel around with you, it'd be safer that way...like, say...a moroi with fire."

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi could tell that the jet fighter thing was a bit off-putting.
"Yeah, a jet fighter. I take regular planes for now until those private hangar contracts go through." He shrugged. There was a mix-up with the US Air Force at JFK. That was the only contract not totally done with. He arched his eyebrow quizzically. Was she seriously suggesting that she tag along with Tenshi?
"Eh, I was never assigned a Guardian; because I was unknown to the Royal Court for about five hundred years. Listen, I can make a city roughly the size of Atlanta think they're all three hundred pound ballerinas named Lucy Stu. Besides, you're just a kid, and before you say anything, I'm five freaking hundred. You'll be a kid and so will pretty much everyone else."

[Keeley Zeklos]

There was one thing Keeley hated and that was being treated like a kid. She hated being called 'kid' or 'little girl' or 'child'...those names were like insults to her. She frowned a bit, ignoring his Jet Fighter comment and went straight to him calling her a kid "Just because im young doesnt make me a kid...I dont care what you can do...even with your powers, you might need the help eventually." she frowned a bit, shaking her head "I know how to fight...I've been doing karate since I was three, my guardian showed me how to fight and how to kill strigoi but my dad's kind of an idiot...he thinks moroi shouldnt fight, I want to fight...just take me with you for a few days, we'll see how things go...if it doesnt go well, i'll be on my way. Whats the worse that could happen? Other than the possibility that we become friends?...seriously, give me a shot dude."

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi sighed. He called everyone kid. He called the dang Queen of Strigoi a kid. He would probably do it again too. He would not budge on the subject of partnership. She may know how to fight, but Tenshi does not just defend himself from Strigoi. He hunts them, not just for killing but to see if any are willing to join him.
"Listen, there is only one person I would trust being my partner and Strigoi-fighting. You wanna know what he is? A soon-to-be Ex-Strigoi assassin who could fight me to a draw. I know you're eager to fight, and if Ms. Dragomir gets that law passed, you will be able to. But for now, my answer is no." Jeez, this girl was like Dani. Why are today's youth so stubborn? He thought for a minute. Perhaps conditions?
"You may come with if you get your parents to give you permission, your Guardian must accompany you, and you must learn how to fight like a samurai. "

[Keeley Zeklos]

Keeley half smiled and shook her head "No offense but only trusting one person is stupid...come on, theres gotta be more than just that one person you trust." the young blond spoke before listening to him go on about laws and weather or not that damn dragomir idiot would approve the law to allow moroi to fight "You know, i've fought strigoi before. My guardian's been training me and i'm a fire user. Im not exactly defenseless."
As he spoke once more, her face half lit up and she shook her head lightly "My dad is fine with just about everything I do as long as im not off getting drunk or something and as for my guardian, fine. He can come with...oh, and im a very quick learner."

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi knew this girl was stubborn. He had read it. However, this was getting ridiculous.
"To fight Strigoi? I've only trusted myself, and for five hundred years, noone else could compare. I found the only person in the world that could fight me to a draw. He would be the only I could trust in a fight with Strigoi without worrying about them." He read her mind and thought about saying something in Ms. Dargomir's defense but decided not to.
"ALL of your parents."

[Keeley Zeklos]

Keeley couldnt bring herself to tell this guy that not trusting others to help him was stupid. It was his decision afterall. Who was she to judge? "Okay, fair enough. I guess I can't say much on the matter, we've only just met but I will say this...there comes a time in every ones life, no matter how old they are when they absolutely have to trust someone to help them. In life or death situations people can't be too picky with who helps them...Say you found yourself in a situation you couldnt handle on your own and this guy you trust so much wasnt around, how would you plan on getting yourself out of danger without any assistance?" she knew she had a point but she wasnt trying to be a smart ass, she was merely trying to make him see that, weather he wanted to or not, eventually he'd have to trust at least one other person and honestly, she was hoping to be that person.

"By all you mean my mother? Dont worry about her, she's always too busy to paymuch attention to what I do. My father is the one that I go to for everything but lately he's been saying 'your old enough to make your own decisions'...so i've decided that I wanna tag along. Just, dont treat me like a kid. I know that to you, I am a kid but im alot more than just 'some kid'."
