Kat scowled at Kari once more, just to make sure she knew she wasn't doing this for her, but for Kaimu. Turning her attention away, she narrowed her eyes, trying to focus on Kaimu's scent, instead of the smell of smoke. Which was a lot harder than it sounded, because Kaimu also smelled like smoke half the time. She started off abruptly in some direction, muttering something darkly.

R: <.< water?? why??
oh i dunno...'cause water kinda stops fire...ya know...sometimes
---------
Assassin followed after Kat, figuring that Hikari was clever enough to follow them without verbal cues. He could smell the smoke as well but unlike Kat he was unable to pull out any other scents from it.

The further from the source of the fire they got, the easier it would be to pick out a specific trail. Kat made a frustrated noise, pausing every couple of feet to try and find something different that would indicate Kaimu, and not just drifted smoke. "Everything smells like smoke."

R: ok so where's some water at??
<.< i dunno...i thought you knew...how come i gotta be da one who knows where da waters at??
---------
Assassin watched her, looking around for any sort of physical sign that someone had been in the area. He wrinkled his nose and nodded when she mentioned the smell. "...should we move downwind?" He didn't know if it would be easier for her to smell that way but he knew that it would become harder to breathe if they moved closer to the fire.

Kat thought about it for a minute. This was hard, because they really had no idea which way Kaimu had headed off in, which gave her next to nowhere to start. Shifting on her feet, she shook her head, "Give me another minute or two..." She would be damned if some puny forest fire got in her way! Taking a few quick steps, and then easily slipping into her panther form for an even better sense of smell, she padded forward silently, nosing around the bushes. Dx Come on, even a broken twig or something would help.

-------
Assassin nodded, folding his arms across his chest as Kat changed. He was still looking around but if Mephisto was behind this he would most likely teleporting Kaimu around.

Mephisto was totally not behind it <.< OR maybe, that's just what he wanted you to think. It's a myyyystttterrryyyyyy.
Kat paused again, perking up. Aha! A potential lead. She sniffed around for a moment, to try and figure out which way the scent was headed, darting off in that direction as soon as she zeroed in on it. Tra la laaa, the hunt was on.

------
Assassin looked over to see Kat on the move once more. He dropped his arms and followed her quickly, having to move faster then he did before. He was still scanning the area as he ran, making sure not to miss anything.

Kat kept pausing every few seconds or so, double checking to make sure she was on the right trail. It was certainly getting stronger now, and she was sure she was on the right track. So there, take that smoke, you son of a bitch. She finally slowed down a little, shifting back into her human form, glancing around, "She's got to be around here somewhere..." The smell was strongest here, meaning it wasn't that long ago that Kaimu was here.

R: what!? isn't it your sworn duty to heal anyone??
<.< except brothers...

Assassin stopped and looked around once more. "...I do not see anything." He muttered after a quick sweep.

Kat did her own quick scan of the area, before nodding slowly, taking a few more steps forward, "Me either..." She stopped suddenly, frowning as she looked down at the ground. "...It ends here." Really abruptly. Oh shit, foreboding feeling.

R: well...you suck as a healer then!!
not as much as you do!! ><!!

Assassin walked up to the spot Kat was indicating to. He knelt down and put a hand on the ground. "...Hikari is not going to be pleased."

Kat snorted derisively at the thought that she could even remotely care about Hikari in any way, shape or form, wheeling around to see if she could find it branching off in a different direction or something, "I'm more concerned with the fact that it just ends. I hate teleporters, they make my life so much more difficult, Christ." Booo, Mephisto was a bitch, and this was so totally his fault.

R: yeah well i'm not a healer now am i?? huh??
pffft....you're lame is what you're are!!
-----
He glanced back over his shoulder and her before returning to look at the ground. "...so, is he planning to use her to burn this place down or to drive Hikari to madness?" He thought outloud mostly to himself. "...or perhaps something else..."

"Oh, he's a bright one." Dx Always with the creepy teleporting in the middle of sentences, God. Mephisto and his leering grin watched Kat and Assassin from a dark knot of trees, just a couple feet away from where they were standing.
Kat very nearly jumped, swinging back around to the direction she had been facing before. "Oh fuck off." She sounded faintly exasperated, 'cause, you know, Mephisto's very presence was cause for frustration.

R: YOU'RE STUPID!!!

Assassin looked up before getting back to his feet. He raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "But I am not a match for your limitless wit."

"Sarcasm doesn't suit you, boy." Mephisto didn't make a move from his spot in the trees, although he was very clearly watching every move they made, not bothering to try and hide it.
Kat huffed, shifting on her feet again, her mark tingling unpleasantly in his presence. "What do you want?" Now was not the time for mind games. Which of course, meant that mind games were coming their way, because that was obviously how life worked.
Mephisto regarded her for a moment, before answering with the faintest shrug, "No Hawk, or that little mouthy one? Shame, it's fun when he doesn't shut up."

R: ^^
<giggles> ahaha...you're soooo funny you lil' <headlocks> AHAHHA!! NOW WHAT!?
-------
Assassin glanced at Kat as she spoke before looking back at Mephisto. At least not having Robyn around was making it easier to focus on the demon rather then trying to keep the Aldrian quiet but he was concerned with the fact that Mephisto noticed it too.

Mephisto grinned widely again, "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Ahaha, he was so witty. Except not. His lip twitched as he stepped out of the trees, towards Assassin and Kat. "Nevermind, nevermind, I'm in sort of a rush, you see, it's probably better with less talking."
>.o Kat made a face, not exactly liking the sound of that. "Can't you go...rush off somewhere else?" >< Please?

Assassin watched as he stepped back out towards them, listening to what he had said. "You do not seem like one to rush anything."
