Extermination 011 // Accidental Video [Backdated to midnight, 6/1]

[coraltaijiya]

[Yes, this would be Sango, pacing restlessly back and forth in her small room in the Casa de Riku & Co, in the middle of the night. It's been ten days since Naraku arrived, ten days since she's actually gotten a good night's sleep, and it seems like bad things started happening as soon as he did so--it all correlates a little too well, even if he

( Unlike his twin, the noticeable discolored bruise in the shape of a fist on his throat isn't going away at the stroke of midnight. )

Your enemy from home you sent the warning about? ( A guess, but one he's rather sure of. )

[coraltaijiya]

[Ouch. Well, at least Rin's bruise makes more sense now.]

Mm. Can you sense his shoki?

(video | private | unhackable)

[dualizes]

No, unfortunately not.

( Sensing demonic auras is admittedly something not a majority of exorcists seem to posses. )

[coraltaijiya]

[Sango is mildly surprised. All of the demon slayers she used to know could sense auras. It was part of the training.]

That... Might be more fortunate than you think, actually. He just sent his demon insects out; be careful.

[She sees this in the morning, and it takes her a moment to realize why Sango is so worried.]

I am fine, Sango. The words are nearly gone. And you?

That man, he has returned to his natural state as well, I assume?

[coraltaijiya]

Good.

He has... unfortunately. And... look, Juliet, the attack a few days ago and his presence here--it's really putting some things into perspective. [Deep breath, but it's an admission that has to be made:] I can't protect you constantly, and neither can Spike-san or Kirara or others. The only person who's always with you is you.

I know you might not like the idea, but I think that you should learn to defend yourself, at least a little bit.

[capuletnomore]

I am sorry for that. Would that the Animus could discern the good from the evil, and seal away the evil.

[She listens carefully, and nods.]

I think it a sound idea, actually. And Lord Duroc made me promise to learn some manner of defending myself. I merely lack a teacher.

I don't bring this up without offering a solution. [She knows Juliet thinks her strength is unconventional, but.] If you don't mind, I'd like to teach you some things.

[Voice/Private/Unhackable]

[coraltaijiya]

So you feel it. [Sango is unamused.]

[Voice/Private/Unhackable]

[coraltaijiya]

Any suggestions?

[voice//private//unhackable]

[checkmychainyo]

I can barely feel his presence, as I'm more attuned to Nen, but it's there.

Has he moved at all yet? [Must keep track of him as best as possible.]

[voice//private//unhackable]

[coraltaijiya]

I don't think so. He sent his insects out, though, for reconnaissance. They're mostly harmless, easily exterminated, but there are too many to effectively avoid.

[voice//private//unhackable]

[checkmychainyo]

If they're for reconnaissance, then should they be exterminated? With Killua having already incited Naraku...

[voice//private//unhackable]

[coraltaijiya]

He told me he wanted to scope out possible enemies. [She sighs.] He's used to having them killed, anyway. They're poisonous, though, and killing them stops him from seeing what's going on, even if it also tips him off.

He uses them to spy, so if they're near, it's likely he already knows where you are.

[feel_nevermore]

Much better. Thanks.

[She's felt the burst of demonic aura but she can't tell it's Naraku's since she's never met him. That said...] Something powerful and demonic got his back to. And I'm not talking about Lucifer.

[Same filter]

[coraltaijiya]

I'm glad.

And yes, that would be Naraku.

[Same filter]

[feel_nevermore]

Naraku? [She seems thoughtful for a moment.] So he's really that powerful?

[Same filter]

[coraltaijiya]

Yes.

[She hesitates, then:] ...how strong is it, for you? His shoki. How much do you sense it?
