Ere smiled brightly, glancing up and down the halls uncertainly. I knew what he was thinking: "Why are they being so secretive? Why are they up against the wall like their doing something bad?" But he kept his silence, if barely. With a quick bow he slipped down the hallway, casting glances over his shoulder at us.
Nice save.
I breathed quietly. She was pretty practiced at this for a twelve year old.

Soji nodded and smiled. Trotting off through a nother door on the map as soon as the guard was ogne. "Being a little girl really helps you out sometimes, they think you're to cute to do anything bad!" She said, her hand on one of the broad swords on her belt. The next door they went through would be the next to last... the next hall would be heavily guarded... "You ready? The next hall here should be heavily guarded, do or die? You staying here with your cooshy job and your friends, or throw it all away and go in there sword swinging..." She said, her eyes a creamy green color, Soji's voice was an eery mix of her good side's soft voice and her dark side's cold and cruel voice.

Sword swinging, sword swinging!
Would you shut-up already? For the love of the gods, you're worse then talking to a unicorn!
I took a deep breath, staring down at her and trying to clear my thoughts to think straight. Now, what was that plan I'd come up with? Oh, yeah, right...
How about an alternative plan?
I said. I crouched to down to look her in the eye, pulling down my mask for a moment to give mer a wide, crooked grin.
Just follow the adults, sweety.
I remarked, standing up and moving around the corner. I pulled a handkerchief out of my pocket, showing it to the guards. It showed I was one of them.
Me and my companion were sent to get some jewels. Got some visitors int he castle, Queen wants to give them a gift.
I lied through my teeth, which was rather easy since the guards couldn't see my mouth. My mouth twitches when I lie, little known fact, that. Tell anyone and I'll kill you.
The guard shrugged, and stepped aside.

Soji sheated her sword and walked into the treasury. "My, my, more than I thought..." She said, looking around at the jewls. There was a good number of them... She started loading up the jewls into a bag she was carrieing and placed the diamons she was suppossed to get in a large pocket sewn on the inside of her over coat. She got about half and turned around, looking up at Daemon. "You can have the rest..." She said, shuffleing to one side of the room so that he could get at the jewls. "You're Queen's Army, eh? Then I think I'll stay quiet about this, you got it pretty good! Lot better than in Grey Company..." She muttered, taking out a small knife and twirling it in between her fingers. She looked around at all the gold and other stuff. "I would take some of it, but it would weigh me down to much and it would clink to much." She said, picking up a large gold pendant.

I smiled to myself, crossing my arms as I watched her.
So, you're Grey Company, hu?
So, had they been the ones to set this up? It didn't seem like their style, they'd never been openly hostile to the Queen, but then they weren't to chummy with them.. I mean, us, either. It was possible.
That where you got your orders from?
I growled, reaching out to grab her arm and hold her there.

Soji chuckled and took a step back, just out of Daemon's reach. "Don't worry, Grey Company has nothing to do with it, it's all a private contract with some greadu bastard, I don't even remember his name!" She said, her hand on one of her broad swords just in case he tried anything.

I let out a sigh of relief. The last thing I wanted to do was fight the Grey Company, not when I had... connections to their leader. And the word "connections" is used loosely here. I was more like a stalker then a friend, really.
I noted her hand on her sword, and my body automatically tensed. Out of instinct I touched my own blade, which rested on my back, just waiting for her to draw her weapon and take a step. Just one step, and there would be a blood bath.
I'm afraid your employer is going to have to wait.

Soji smiled, her eyes turning yellow. "I will stand by what my host said, but if you draw your blade... Then I will not hesitate to obliterate you..." She said, her body tensed and ready to move with her super human speed. She was stron enough to pick up a boulder over fifeteen times her size and throw it across the length of a large cornfield feild. She was fast enough to cross a cornfield in four seconds flat...

BLOOD!
My demon's demand echoed across my mind, far more powerful then I liked, I was inclined to listen to him. My eyes turned red as I absorbed his power, letting it flow through me and strengthening me. And slowly, my sword left it's sheath.
Let me tell you something, little girl...
I said, leaning forward.
You're not the only one with a dark side.

Soji sighed, the dark side completelly in controll. She drew dual broad swords, one in each hand. She waited, her body tensed and ready. She flicked a small bomb behind her, small but strong. It blew a wall apart that led out side. She backed up towards it, prefering to fight outside.

One for the theatrics, I see.
I muttered, shrugging. I followed after her, stepping over the broken stones unimpressed. Big explosions meant nothing to me, it was swordplay that was important.

As soon as they were outside Soji shot to the side and slashed at daemon's side with her dual swords, moving with her supernatural speed. She knew more about all the different fighting styles of the world than most people knew about one.

My eyes darted after her, studying her motions and movements. I was sure the guards would show up soon, but there was no reason I couldn't have a little fun until then.
I spun to right, feeling her blades tap my skin lightly before my sword pushed them away. I would stay on the defensive for now, watching her move.

Soji spun around, holding his sword as best she could with one sword, and slashing down with the other. "I've been all over the world, I know more about fighting than most!!!" She yelled.

I stepped backwards, feeling the blade cut through my coat as I drew my blade out from the hold. Her cuts were getting closer and closer, and soon I expected blood to flow. And now I had a hole in my coat, dang it. She'd better sew that back up for me.
Sorry to burst your bubble sweets, but I've had a few more years of practice then you. Like... ten more, at least.
I spun around, opening my coat and pulling a dagger off my belt. It was short, but it would help.
And I've been killing since I was five years old.
