Luna moved past him like a shadow, moving faster with each step, taking out her knives, one in each hand. She moved as a silent as a cat about to pounce. Her prey, a man who seemed to be in his early forties, stood talking to a young girl. Luna got several yards away when the man dissapeared into thin air. Eyes widening, she turned around, just in time to block an attack. "Nice to see you again, Luna. I heard about Vrael. So you finally got what you wanted, eh? Haha." The man sneered as they proceeded to engage, dodging and twisting, attacking and parrying, gaining ground, losing ground. Suddenly the man grabbed Luna's arm and threw her way up into the air. Luna twisted, and landed on her feet, a smile on her face.

Luna bowed. "Nice move, Don Gotto, but i'm not done yet." Luna threw one of her knives at him. He caught it and threw it back in one smooth motion. Luna did the same. What looked like a friendly game of catch, (except with knives), turned into a deadly match of speed and skill.

"I think I'll just watch this one. I really should make some popcorn though..."
Nerameshu threw a fire ball at a nearby corn field, then commanded a servant to get enough for all the Gods.
"Now, this is good! Now I have a show-" he stuffed a large portion of popcorn in his mouth, "-and a snack!"

"You have been practicing, I see." Don Gotto said while adding more knives into the match. "Now, why would I disgrace the leader of the Ensei Spardona? You taught me well." Luna answered. She began to walk towards him, still catching and throwing knives. He walked towards her, and the knives began to spin through the air faster and faster as they got closer and closer. Then they began to walk farther away and the knives got slower. The tension in the air was thick. Then as if something had exploded, the began to dance elaborately, still throwing and catching knives. They danced, getting closer and closer with each step. "So." Don Gotto said, "You have mastered the vampire art of dancing, the Xamna. Well done." Luna only laughed, a true laugh this time, a twinkling sound pure and beautiful as the wings of an angel.

Luna and Don Gotto got so close they were almost touching. They had retracted some of their knives so that their was only one left. Luna had it. They still danced, though they danced close, because they were trying to steal the knife from the other and stab them. They danced faster and faster until they danced so fast it was hard to tell where the knife was.

"So they speak Methusala? I wonder if either of them have a Tobarej? Probably not, I figure."
Nerameshu looked around. Knives were everywhere, but mostly in the walls. "Can you guys not tear this place up so much? Remember, I'm renting it!"

The young girl [And by young I mean she's like.......eight] came up to Neremeshu and bowed. "Please forgive them, Neremeshu-sama. Master Don Gotto only wishes to help Lady Luna with her training. This is the way they do so.........so,..........um,........." The young girl got quiet and began to blush as she realized who she was talking to. She let her silver hair cover her face as she lowered her head and walked away.

Nerameshu appeared in front of the young girl.
"Young Madame, please tell me your name.' He pulled the hair away from her eyes.

The girl blushed even more. "A-Arianna, sir."

"Well, Arianna, take this..." Nerameshu's hand fell to the floor, then reconfigured itself into a dagger, small enough for her hands, but long enough to do serious damage.
"Have Luna teach you."

Arianna's blushing immediately stopped as seriousness overtook her facial features. She looked into Neremeshu's eyes. "If I may, Neremeshu-sama, may I ask why? I do believe its not everyday that a person of your stature gives a knife to a little girl and tells her to learn from an assassin. Forgive me, sir, for my ignorance, but could I not go to a Dojo and learn?"

"You could, but that would take a long time, and you would learn only mediocre skills. Learn from Luna, or perhaps, me."

Arianna cocked her head unconsciously and thought for a few minutes. Then she realized what she was doing. "Neremeshu-sama, Thank you for your offer. It is most generous of you. However, I would have to ask my father first. Please excuse me." She bowed once more and went to join the crowd watching the vampire and the assassin dance.

Meanwhile, Luna and Don Gotto were still dancing and desperately trying to stab the other person before they got stabbed. Around and around they danced until the tension got so thick you could cut it with a knife. Suddenly, they stopped, Luna panting. "Don Gotto," Luna rasped,"You really suck." "Why thank you Luna. And please, call me Gotto." Don Gotto said. Luna looked up. "You mean your name is Gotto Gotto?" "Yes." Don Gotto replied. Luna started to laugh, then stopped as a cut opened on her cheek. "Ah, so I win our little game again. You know, you are getting good at the Xamna. You should visit me sometime. Maybe I could hook you up." Don Gotto told her. Luna simply bowed gracefully and walked away. The crowd watching applauded at the dance.

"Bravo.." Minukae said, while watching the two at work, trying to kill eachother...She'd never actually trained herself, but rather just consumed the fighting skills as she consumed the life essence of her prey..."Bleh, Food tastes like dirt, and i only eat it to keep up appearences in the mortal world....", a nice glass of blood would do nicely though".
