Just Jump (Open)

[bonedoggy]

Kari didn't know why he was doing this, he just felt that he had to, the idea's buzzing through his head.
He was standing on top of a tall building, about five stories off the ground looking down at the alley below him. He bit his lip softly as he begun to think about what he was doing.

Lately his powers had become more and more active, just going off on their own whenever they felt like it. He wasn't the kind who was going to ask for help about it, so he figured that if he was going to control them he had to lean how on his own.

So he had decided to do just that and try and get his powers under control, although he still didn't have any idea what they were exactly, after all they had just seemed random and erratic every time they went off. So he figured he ought to get them to work the same way he had in the first place. He decided he had to scare his powers out.

Slowly he closed his eyes, trying not to think about what he was doing as his foot began to move forward off the ledge. It hung there in mid air for a moment before Kari felt himself tipping forward, falling off the building.

His eyes snapped open as he realized what he was doing and he yelled as the air rushed past him. Suddenly he stopped, after falling four stories down, his body suspended in the air. The molecules around him becoming less dense and making him float there, he breathed heavily before looking around and realizing that there was nothing holding him up, the ground looming one story beneath him his only way back to land, but he had no idea how to maneuver himself.

He gulped and cleared his throat, trying to move his arms a little like it would help, but he continued to stay floating there. Suddenly he heard someone coming and he gasped, his body floating in air and he didn't know what to do.

[Takeshi]

(**falls in** hope you don't mind if I join.^^)

Takeshi walked through the streets, once again hunting for demons. It really has been bothering him for awhile now, he's been unsuccessful in all of his hunts for demons. Dammit, maybe they know I'm after them.. Ugh, that is going to be bad.. It'll be hell doing my job if so..

Shaking his head, Takeshi began to look around, walking further into the alleyway. Nothing here, how wonderful.. Damned demons.. Sighing yet again, he sat down and leaned against the wall, shutting his eyes. Maybe it'll be easier if I get some sleep, clear my senses. He sighed and continued walking around, turning into an alley. This seems good enough for a demon to hide.. Right...? Damn! I wish I had a demon tracker.. That'd be soo much easier! Maybe I should look in that one place, belonged to someone named ....Slade...? I don't know... Normally, he probably would've fell asleep there and then, but he was sensing someone else that was keeping him awake. He was sensing someone nearby, but he's already searched the alley, so where could they be? Well, looking up revealed just that.

When Takeshi looked up, his face drew blank as he saw a man upon the roof of the building across from him, looking as if he was about to jump. Finally coming back to reality, he jumped up and slammed the door to the building open, running up the stairs. He could sense the man coming closer and knew he had jumped. Dammit! Reaching a flat floor that had a window out to where he was originally sitting, he ran over right as the man came in view, but froze. He, had powers?! I just wasted my time running up here to try and save his ass!! Okay, stay calm... Wait, if he has powers, then maybe.. A small smirk appeared on Takeshi's lips as he thought he found a demon. Walking over to the window, he leaned on it's sill and looked at the guy in the air. "Adrenaline-junky, are we? Quite a stunt you pulled, scared the hell out of me, I could've been blamed for murder." He said, half being a smart-ass and half not really. Really, he was just acting nice to get the guy to face him, he was already pulling DDS out, but did it below the window so the man couldn't see it.

[bonedoggy]

Kari looked upward suddenly to see a man walking toward him in a open window. He grumbled, really not needing a situation like this to happen, after all he came here because he thought it would be empty.
He tried again to move himself but only spun a little, his body floating as if in zero gravity. The Calmness of the man shocked him the most as he didn't seem the least bit fazed that Kari was floating off of the ground. Although this usually only meant one thing, and that was that he most likely had some kind of secret as well. His mind started to race when he though of different possibilities, although seeing someone with powers in this town wasn't something completely out of the ordinary.

Kari noticed the man looking at him and he grumbled and turned his head, thinking the man was mocking him, but then again how would he know that Kari was stuck. Slowly he reached in to his pocket, pulling out a cigarette and placing it in his mouth.
"You can go no-" He found himself being cut off from finishing what he was saying because as he reached to grab his lighter he found himself flipping over and floating there upside down, his legs straight up in the air.

The cigarette that was in his mouth slowly fell to the ground below him and he looked back toward the man, only to notice him seeming to reach for something, although it was covered up by the windowsill.

Although he was currently stuck in quite the odd position, his head pointing toward the ground with his legs upward, his shirt halfway up his chest showing his abs. But even through all of that he didn't want to ask for help, figuring that he can get down soon enough anyways.

[Takeshi]

Takeshi sat there and waited for the man to say something, or at least look at him. This gave him time to examine the man though, he always liked to remember what his victims looked like. The man had black hair. He didn't seem to tall either. Takeshi kind of just gave the man a weird look as the man began to grumble. What, I came up here to help him! Well, actually now I'm kind of here to kill him.. Either way, I'll put him out of his misery if he is so eager to die. Of course, he had no idea why the guy really had jumped but to him it seemed like he was just like him, suicidal, and the way he wanted to die was by jumping off a roof. He didn't really care how he would die, he just wanted to. Being the enemy, or at least half, was terrible. The man then spun and turned towards him, and he went back to paying attention, keeping his guard up.

Takeshi was expecting something, but only received another grumble and a head turn. He then tensed up as the man reached in his pocket, pulling out a cigarette. Giving the guy an irritated glance, he relaxed. The man put it in his mouth, telling him to leave as he reached for a lighter, only to end up upside down. He just arched an eyebrow. "Trouble? I guess that's what you get for smoking, as well as being rude to someone who bothered to run up, thinking you were trying to kill yourself, to try and save you but it all ended up being a waste of time." He said as he turned his back on the guy.

Really, Takeshi just turned around to finish pulling out DDS. He loaded it up some more, in case more than one bullet needed to be launched, and then turned back to the man, pointing it straight at him. "I guess if you are or aren't suicidal it doesn't really matter, since I'm going to kill you, wretched demon.." He said as the smirk on his face grew larger and his finger began to pull on the trigger. "Thanks by the way for making this so easy.."

[bonedoggy]

Kari spun around in the air, helplessly trying to find a way to land himself. Although it seemed hopeless, after all he didn't know how ton control his powers so why would the work now of all times. Kari grumbled again and worked to hold his shirt up so his chest was no longer exposed.

His other hand just dangled there like it had no idea what to do. He looked up to notice the man kept turning around and then looking back toward him, although why he didn't know.
"I'm not having trouble! And I wasn't trying to kill myself.... I.. I..." He grumbled, not sure how to really explain what he was doing, after all it seemed to idiotic to him now that he wondered why he had even though of it in the first place. Although at least he had succeeded in keeping himself from going splat.

Although he looked back up to see the man spinning around yet again, although this time he was pointing a large gun at him. Kari gasped and nervously tried to raise his hands.
"Whoa now.... And what do you mean demon?!"

Seeing his finger tighten on the trigger he gasped and closed his eyes, trying to focus on his powers for something to happen, something that would help. In almost the same moment Kari found himself falling to the ground as the air became normal around him again, his body getting closer to the ground. Although as he smacked into the concrete underneath him he had little time to react, trying to get up as fast as possible.

[Takeshi]

Takeshi just stared at the man as he began to spin around in the air. Is he trying to do tricks? I'd give him a complete zero if I was a judge and if he was doing tricks, this is just a fail.. He listened as the man grumbled again and pulled his shirt down. Truth be told, Takeshi didn't even notice, nor did he care, really. This guy's weird, but he'll be dead soon, so it doesn't matter.

Takeshi watched the guy with no interest whatsoever. He was actually rather boring him. Maybe I should just get it over and done with, this is a waste of time.

"I'm not having trouble! And I wasn't trying to kill myself.... I.. I..."[/u]

Takeshi arched an eyebrow at the man. "Really now? Would you like to explain what you were doing then? A stunt? Are you an actor of some sort? No, I have a very high doubt of that." The man grumbled again and he rolled his eyes. "Grumble much?" He asked, getting annoyed. He leaned against the wall nest to the window, still keeping a hold of DDS, pointing it still at him. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair and looked at the man from the corner of his eye. What a waste of time. I still don't understand why I haven't shot him yet. A gasp made him smirk wider.

"Whoa now.... And what do you mean demon?!"[/u]

Takeshi saw the mann close his eyes and was ready to fully pull the trigger, but he noticed the man began to fall back down to the ground. Eyes widening, he placed his hands on the window sill and brought himself up and over it, falling to the ground himself. He watched as the other guy hit the ground and he did the same, just on his feet. Pointing the gun right back at him, his stare turned to a cold glare. "You're a demon, aren't you?! You seem to have the powers of one!! All demons deserve to be killed, and I'll be the one to fulfill the job!" He yelled.

[bonedoggy]

(Sorry i'm usually busy on weekends xP)

Kari stumbled up and shook his head, he didn't know how to react to this kind of situation. A ringing pain from the fall was something together unpleasant that he really didn't want to deal with right now either.
When the man jumped from the window Kari gasped again, this was something that he did not expect.

Seeing the gun pointed back at him he was sure this guy couldn't be reasoned with, that and he seemed to have something wrong with his head.
Kari hated what he was about to do, but he knew in this situation he would have to use his powers.

"I am not a demon!" He raised his hands and focused on trying to make something happen. He figured he had the element of surprise, after all the man probably didn't expect to fight back, as well as he had no idea of what Kari's powers were, but then again Kari didn't really know what his powers were either.
Suddenly there was a burst of a white cloud of pressurized and very dense air around Kari's hands that shot forward like rays toward the man.
At most they wouldn't cripple or kill the man, more or less they would act like a burst of energy pushing the man back, as well as giving him a rather unpleasant pain from the pressure if they were to collide with him.

[Takeshi]

(it's okay.^^)

Takeshi followed the man as he began stumbling around and shaking his head. He continued to have the gun pointed at him, in case he made a sudden move, like an attack. He continued to glare at the man from behind. He kind of felt like he was trying to drill a hole in the guy's back, but didn't actually care. One thing he was famous for: hating and glaring. Another one was being an asshole, even though he hardly speaks. He only talked to the guy so he could get him to turn around and that worked perfectly for him, except for the part when he fell to the ground. That was unexpected. Takeshi just arched an eyebrow as the guy gasped. Scared easily, I presume. Not a very good demon then.

"I am not a demon!"[/u]

"You expect me to believe that?! You certainly have the powers of o-" Takeshi cut himself off as suddenly a burst of a white cloud thing went around the guy's hands and he shot it forward at him.Takeshi lifted his arms over his head in case something was shot at, but he just flew back. He Grunted a bit as he hit the wall of the building behind him, which wasn't to far away, and began coughing as he held his stomach. Didn't.. Expect that. Dammit... Ignoring the pain he felt, he shot DDS at the man, not caring whether it him or not, and quickly stood up. Running over to the man, he grabbed his shirt and pushed him against the wall. "If you're not a demon then what the hell are you?!" He asked, furiously.

[bonedoggy]

Kari was amazed with the fact that he had been able to use his powers, even more it was actually something helpful.
He actually let out a surprised sort of chuckle, although it was more nervousness.
Ok Kari started to access the situation that layed before him, he had been able to hit the man and had knocked the wind out of him at least, so he had a advantage, or at least a time to run.

He decided to take the second route and quickly turned and started to run. Although this didn't last long as there was a gunshot and Kari stopped instantly. The bullet whizzed right in front of his face and buried itself in the wall across the alley.
Kari had the whole situation suddenly dawn on him as he know realized that the man was completely serious about shooting him.

He gulped and stumbled backward his legs shaking, although he was cut off from his stunned state by the man grabbing his shirt and shoving him against the wall. Kari grabbed the man's arm and struggled in vain as he was overpowered.
"Fuck off man I don't know what your talking about!"
His fear caused his powers to jump out of control again as they started to work on their own, his body becoming a vaporous gas. He tripped forward, his new form passing right through the man and falling down behind him. As soon as he hit the ground his body turned back to its normal human form. He quickly rolled over to try and get up, but he only propped himself up on his elbows before he stopped.
Kari was to stunned to do anything, he was laying back down on the ground, propped up by his elbows looking at the man who had just had him pinned against the wall.

[Takeshi]

Takeshi got furious as he heard the guy chuckle. What the hell is so funny?! As the guy began to run, he just stood there as he stopped when the bullet went across his face. "Well damn, here I was hoping that would hit you.. Oh well, I still got plenty. Next time I won't miss." He said with a smirk as the guy stumbled backwards and even began to shake. He did like to pose as a threat, one of the best feelings he got besides the thrill of killing another wretched demon.

"Fuck off man I don't know what your talking about!"[/u]

"What's so difficult about it?! I asked you what the hell you're supposed to be since there is no way in hell you're a human and you claim to not be a demon, so what are you?!" He interrogated. Takeshi never did like to repeat himself. His eyes widened though as the guy was became vapor. He stood there stunned as the guy had tripped and fell right through him. what the hell?! He looked over to the side and saw the guy on his elbows, looking right at him. This irritated him. Was it an illusion?! In a swift movement, Takeshi brought his leg over in anger and kicked the guy in the rib cage.

After that though, Takeshi stopped completely, his head down and hand over his chest. His breathing became abnormal, like he was in pain. He was beginning to lose control of his demon because of the anger he felt towards the guy before him. He closed his eyes tightly as cold sweat began to run down his face as he fought to keep control. Now Takeshi was the one stumbling backwards. He fell down, but he was close enough to the wall, so didn't fall completely. Panting, he looked at the guy with half a red crimson eye. Dammit, I don't want to, but I have to go, now! Standing up again, he took off, but tended up also tripping over his foot and fell in the middle of the street. Forget it! I'm staying right here! He rolled rolled over so he was lying on his back and just laid there, panting.

[bonedoggy]

Kari saw the man start to turn around and he instantly tried again to get to his feet, after all he had already had two incredibly lucky times his powers had saved him, and he had no idea what to do next.

Although on his way to trying to get up he found himself feeling a sharp pain in his side as there was a resounding thump from the foot contacting him in the ribs.
Kari coughed and gasped for air as the wind was knocked out of him. After a moment he had managed to roll over and prop himself up on his hands and knees. He looked up to see the man in some kind of fit, as if he was in pain or something odd.

Kari managed to stand up again and he looked at the man. The guy was really starting to piss him off, Kari didn't care if he was in pain it was his chance to hit him back. Kari concentrated on his powers, focusing hard.
Slowly a bright golden colored gas started to swirl around his hand making a small cloud of tear gas. Kari swung his arm forward, sending the gas toward the man like a spear.

Although as he threw it he noticed the man turn around and start to run away.
'why the hell is he running?' Kari thought to himself, rather confused. Although he had already shot the gas toward the man as he was running.
He had outran the gas for a little ways until he tripped in the street, Kari watched wondering what was going to happen, after all if the man was going to run away then Kari didn't wan't to hit him.

But it was to late, the gas hit the ground next to him, causing a small explosion that expanded in to a cloud of gas that was around three feet wide.

[Takeshi]

Takeshi listened as the man began coughing and gasping. He could sense the man's anger and knew he probably just bit off more than he could chew. If the man went after him more than likely he would lose control and this wasn't something he wanted to do, it was hard regaining control over himself, believe it or not and seriously took a lot of energy out of him. It usually really made him pass out and since he was in the road it wouldn't be wise to go unconscious. "Nii-chan, don't overexert yourself too much."[/u] Kisa, his little sister's, voice rang in his mind. "Huh? I'm not." "You're lying.. You're demon will only gain control more often.." "It's not, I promise. I'm not going to lose control again.."[/u] He remembered the time he had lost control in front of Kisa. When he regained control, he didn't remember anything, and just knew that his hands were covered in blood, and that Kisa was terrified. It took her almost a year to be able to get near and speak to him again.

The next thing Takeshi knew was that there was small explosion next to him as smoke began to fill the area. The second he breathed it in, tears filled his eyes. He coughed as more filled the area. He clenched his eyes to try and see if that would help keep tears from coming out, but it didn't, to his disappointment. Screw this! I'm not staying in this!! Finally having enough, he rolled himself to the side until the mist ended, gasping as he got fresh air. "I deserved that.. Probably much worse too." He mumbled to himself as he sat up. At least that kept me from losing control, for now..

[bonedoggy]

Kari became nervous as the man was covered by the thick smoke, after all he had no idea what he had done, all he could hear were fits of coughing coming out from the gas. After a moment the man emerged and rolled his way to fresh air.

Kari let out a sigh of relief after all he really didn't want to seriously hurt anyone. Although he figured the guy probably would be pretty pissed right now, but then again he had Shot at Kari, so why should he care.

It was challenging to make up his mind on exactly what to do, go over and help the man who tried to kill him, and then ran away. Or simply flee the area as fast as possible and try to never run in to the guy again.
For the most part the second option seemed like the best one at this point. Kari held on to his side, where he had been kicked in the ribs and looked at the man, who seemed to have calmed down.

"I'm just a teenager ok. Not a demon, not a monster. Just a teenager." He grumbled and then started to run down the street, figuring the guy wasn't hurt that bad.
