A warm cup of coffee { open}

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne, had only been in the city for two day. The day before her aunt had taken her shopping. She was on her own all today, auntie wanted to go to the Casino. She pulled her thick Dark blue carden over her chest and shoulder. It was cold, she did not like it cold. She liked summer and spring better that was just more to her liking. Under her carden She had on a pale blue dress that came down to just above her knees. Under that she had some tight thick black leggings and they where tucked in some black ankle boots.

It was getting close to noon, and Breanne had walked some time she was far from the Inn where she was staying. She found a cute coffee shop as she pushed the door open, the warm air moved over her face. A smile came over her lips as she glance around at the people, a lit blush went over her cheeks as she walked over to the counter and order a Camel coffee. She paid the man and then found a small table in the corner she sat down. Moved her fingers in her sliver white hair that was down and around her neck and shoulder.

She pulled her bag up as she pulled out an old book she found of her Father. Was burnt on the edges but it was still in good shape. A young man carried her coffee over to her and placed on the table she smiled softy and thanked him as she sip the warm and sweet coffee. The looked back to the book that was on the table. Their where only a few things she did not understand, their where some big words. She learned that her father was working with DNA..

[Adam Kohaku]

The wolves. Why else did he do anything? They were the reason for why he traveled from city to city. They were the reason why he had come to Emerald City. It was always the wolves. He was in search of one particular wolf. A black wolf with blue markings. The one Darcia wanted in a cage at his feet.

Adam entered the inn with little care of those who were around him. He had just entered Emerald City and was already looking for a place to settle down and grab a drink. At least if he wanted to, he could get several drinks in the bar of the inn and then go up to a room to pass out. Such a class act he was.

The cold seemed to flow of his long black leather trench coat. His black pants and boots left a trail of dust upon the floor as he moved across the floor towards the counter. Two katanas were strapped onto his back and were the main reason for the inn to become quiet. Most people could recognize Adam Kohaku. He had the reputation of a fierce hunter who was under the command of Lord Darcia. That was enough to bring respect or hatred to him, but Adam cared for no one’s opinion of him.

The long haired hunter leaned up against the counter and ordered a shot of scotch. He was under age, but that never meant anything. The bartender was quick to serve the hunter before moving down the bar and leaving the hunter to himself.

Adam could hear a murmur from the people within the inn, but he cared nothing for it. He was use to hearing his name in others’ conversations.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne was sitting in the corner as the man came in her purple eyes looked at him. She heard the whisper of the people around her. Her view was blocked as she looked up at a man who was very drunk. " look what we have here a pretty lass alone" he said his words where slur as he spoke.

Breanne blinked as another man walked over and was glance at Adam " man that not a good idea, i am getting out here" he said as he left. She blinked as she looked at the second man walk off. That was odd she blinked again that man was not human. She shrugged off as the other man garb her arm and pulled her to her feet. " take your hands off me you drunk fool" she said. As she step on his foot, the man yelled this just made the man louder and more mad. He grabs her sweater as she pulled free of the dark carden, she stood their in her pale blue dress.

The man sniff the carden as he grinned, she mad a face like it was nasty she shook some as she felt odd with few of the people look at her and the man who was still making a lot a noise. The man throw the carden and it land near Adam and he looked over at the bar and said " would you pick that up girly" he said. Most of the people in the bar all gasp a few where talking about how the man would get beaten up.

The man was still looked at breanne as she sighed and shook her head. " are you drunk and blinded you ass , Look who you just called a girl" she said as the man grab her hair and pulled her in front him make breanne a shield. She gasped as where the man hands where " let me go" she said as she bit down on his hand and he yelp as he turn and back handed her making her fall to the ground.

[Adam Kohaku]

The Kohaku drank down his shot of scotch before giving out a slow sigh. He just wanted to drink. Why was it that where he went had to have unruly drunks who started shit with women? And more so, why did these drunks have to drag him into the battle? There would be no end to this until he stepped up.

Adam’s dark blue eyes flashed over to the drunk who had just pushed the girl to the ground. People sickened Adam. There were no gentlemen left in the world. No, just brutes and their victims. How disgusting.

The hunter leaned over and picked up the girl’s clothing that had been tossed his way. He walked over to the scene casually, placing the girl’s jacket on one of the chairs. He glared up at the drunkard who was about to speak. In a quick moment that was unseen by many eyes, Adam had drawn one of his katana and had placed the blade at the man’s throat.

“This blade has been used to kill countless animals like the likes of you,” he said darkly as he looked at the man. “You should run out of here like the coward that you are, or I would be more than willing to send you to your grave.”

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne moved from the floor her hand when to her face as she sat up she felt a little be light headed. She blinked her purple eyes as she saw Adam move from where he was sitting. He picked up her sweater and place on a chair. She moved a hand to her cheek as her purple eyes did not move from him. He was fast when he pulled one the katana, off his back. If she had blinked she would have missed it.She gasp as she the drunk man started to pee his pants and then he grumbled as at what Adam had said but he did not moved. His eyes moved to breanne " your luck, he here girl, I get you later mark my words " he said as he left the bar.

Breanne moved to her feet slowly, she grabs on to a chair as she sighed some and shook her head and glance at Adam " sorry you had to get involved, but thank you" she said her voice was low as she sat down. " My aunt going to have a fit if i come back with my face all red" she gasp as she did mean to say that out loud. A blushed moved over her cheeks as she moved her hand in her sliver white hair as she wonder about this man. She had only heard about Adam this was the fist time she had seen him.
She bit down on her lower lip as she sighed and she had to repay this man for what he did but she did not do anything she started to think. She could not come up with anything.

[Adam Kohaku]

Adam sheathed his katana before he sent a dark blue eye into the girl’s direction. He didn’t say anything as he studied her. He wasn’t usually the one to do any good deeds without an incentive. Perhaps, the man had simply angered the hunter, but he had protected the girl. He wasn’t even sure what to do with himself.

“There’s no need to thank me,” the wolf hunter responded. “Just be glad that I was here to stop that drunk from harming you even more.”

The Kohaku glanced around for a moment as he realized the area was still quiet. He glared at the people. He hated being watched so. They all seemed so interested in what was going on. He wished people would just mind their own damn business.

People slowly went back to their own conversations as Adam stepped back over to the bar. The bartender had already set down another shot of scotch for the hunter. He just wanted to relax without people trying to pester him.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne stood up and pulled her sweater on listening to Adam speak. She was glad that he was here. She knew if he had not been she would have been hurt more then she was. She looked as he walked back to the bar. Breanne walked back over to her table, as she pulled the book that was on the table up. She looked at the floor, she had not been crazy their had been a dog in her at some point. She pulled the book open and flipped throw the pages.

" Father what where you were working on that had to do with wolfs, i do not even know who you where working for" she said again thinking out loud she sighed as she moved her finger around the paw print as she sighed as she glance at Adam. She knew he would know what some of the words in the book where saying they where copies of papers write in odd way. She sighed as she walked over to the bar and place the burn book on the bar, she asked the bartender for some ice and drink that would take the pain away.

Breanne looked at Adam as she blushed " i am not bugging sitting here am i " she asked not really looking at him. " I feel like i should repay you in some way Adam Kohaku " she said in a low voice as she smiled as she got some ice and a shot it looked like vodka she blinked and sniff it she made a face as she place the ice on her face and then closed her eyes as she took the shot down and started to cough. The Bartender laughed some.

[Adam Kohaku]

The hunter let out a soft sigh as his eye moved over to the book and then to the girl. He watched as she ordered a drink and was given vodka. He moved the shot glass away from her. “Give her something a bit lighter. Maybe a margarita or an appletini. Straight vodka is not the kind of drink I think she can handle,” Adam said to the bartender.

The wolf hunter knew alcohol better than most bartenders. This girl seemed like a light weight. Perhaps she had never really drank before. Rookies shouldn’t go straight to vodka, well, that was at least what Adam thought.

This girl was somewhat different, but Adam couldn’t place why. Maybe this book she carried around would explain why, but as much as he loved to read he was in no mood to snoop through those pages. He would wait to see if she would explain herself to him.

“Like I said, you do not need to repay me. If you know my name, you should know there is no reason to repay me for anything I do. I have plenty of money and usually have no good use for it. Which is why I spend it on alcohol.” He drank down another shot of whisky.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smirked as he moved the shot away. The bartender came back with an appletini, and place in front her. " i am Breanne A Hayden, my father work in a lab all i have of what he did is in this book" she said moved her hands over the book as she smirked and sipped her drink. She sighed some as she moved hand from the book to the drink. Her purple eyes looked at him as she smiled softly. " Even if i know your name and who you are i still feel likes i should do something. That is the humanly thing to do. If you have a lot money, there are a lot thing you cannot buy with money" she said.

She looked at him, " i am a good cook, i could always fix you something to eat or something," she whisper. She looked back at the drink and sip it as she looked at the bartender who had an odd look on his face as he looked at her then he when back to work. " A handsome man should not be alone drinking" she said, " Everyone get lonely they just do not want others to know" she said then blushed at her words not looking at him as she felt her face getting red.

[Adam Kohaku]

Who was this girl, and why was she so determined to talk to him? Breanne A. Hayden. He had never heard of her, but he usually never was in any loops to learn about people. He spent most of his time out on the road alone, hunting for wolves. Animals had made his company more times than humans anymore. He often had a better chance of attracting female wolves than human girls.

Another shot of whisky. He could never admit to being lonely, though he was sure he had felt such emotions. Even when he was around his own kind, he felt rather alone. He tended to only be able to relate to his adopted brother and sister. They had always been loners attached to each other. They fought off the world just the three of them. Yet, when he was not around them perhaps he did feel rather lonely.

This girl gave him company now, yet all he could think about was making his escape. Kaine would have been pressuring him into making a move right now. Adam finally had a chance to sweet talk a rather cute and petite girl, but he felt the need to continue to distance himself.

“Perhaps a home meal would be nice,” the wolf hunter said after a long moment of inner struggle. Part of him simply wanted to say nothing, but the words flowed from his mouth as if the dam had been broken. “It has been years since I have had a good homemade meal. Dessert wouldn’t be that bad either.”

Truly, Adam had not had anything that tasted any good since the orphanage. Though they never had too much to make for food, the nuns were still wonderful cooks. He had had some of the greatest meals of his life as an orphan. Funny how little he had then, but how wonderful all of the little things were. He cared nothing for what food he got his hands on now.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne's blush stopped as she looked over at Adam, as he spoke she blinked and titled her head a smile moved over her lips as she giggled. " do you have an anything you do not like to eat?, I love baking cookie and pie's I make them for my aunt and her friends all the time." she asked looked at him. She started to think of the meal she could cook for him, she blushed a little but then stopped. She wondered if she should make some for Adam brother and sister, she shook off the idea. This was a good way to thank Adam, she pulled her eyes off him and then to her drink. She finished it off, as she sighed. She was only 17 years old, she had drank a little mostly in the kitchen when she was cooking. She had a family her aunt but that woman saw her as nothing more as a maid some times.

She had gotten well a cooking she had too, aunt would beat her if things did not turn out right the first time. Her aunt would hit her places that would not be seen like on her legs or back. She wished she did not have to put up with it but she had not other place to go. Not like the woman would tell her who her real father was, " Oh when do you want me to bring it, I do not wish to make you stop working. Maybe if you have some more time likes this? I Live in Sionomed Divinos City," she said. Each time she went to Angeles Caidosse city she would have just passed throw. She always got hit on by some low life their. She sighed as she looked at her wrist the only scar on here was from straps her fingers moved over the light scars as she licked her lips some to got the tasted of her drink.

[Adam Kohaku]

To not interrupt his work. He hunted wolves, that was his job. The only time it was necessary to actually work was when a wolf came running across his path. Adam had plenty of time to stop and sit down to eat. Breanne would not interfere with his work.

“I can take a small vacation from my work,” the wolf hunter said as he peered over to the girl. “I always have time for a meal, I just never use my time to eat good food.”

He took another drink of whisky as he thought. Adam was not a picky eater. He had never been. Food was food to him. Living in the streets had taught him not to be picky with his food. He ate to be healthy, though, this meal would probably be more for pleasure.

“You came make me whatever you think is good. I am not picky, just hungry. If you have a specialty go ahead and fix it up for me.”

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smiled softly as she looked at him, " that is good to hear, good food is always the best i think. When you put feelings into cooking the person eating well be happier well that just from my view" she said as she sighed. He was drinking a lot she noted, oddly the more he drank the more he seems to talk this made breanne smirk even more. She blushed some she did have a specialty that she always like to cook but she did not know if he would like it, she shrugged and smiled. " well should i make some so you can some back with you. I always eat something in front my brother and make him jealous but that before he die" she said

She looked down at the book she open it some. " I do not really have any family but my aunt if you call her family when she makes be a maid or a doll" she said the bartender filled up her glass again as she smiled and sipped it. She wondered how much he could drink, she blinked as she looked at the book mark in the book. Lucky if she got drunk she had somewhere to go but she knew that her aunt would have a fit yelling at her for being drunk or anything the old lady did not like. She did not want to see the woman mad, she moved a hand in her hair as she looked at Adam " how many can you drink, before you fill it? " she asked looked at him as she sipped her drink.

[Adam Kohaku]

“I can drink to the point where most people would die of alcohol poisoning,” Adam bragged as he shot back another glass of whisky. And he could. He could out drink everyone he had come in contact with. Some say he is just an alcoholic. Adam saw it as sport. Not to mention, he escaped his head when he was drinking. His work no longer affected him when the alcohol touched his lips.

“Does my drinking concern you? And if so, why does it? You do not know me. We have only just met a few minutes ago when a drunk tried to seduce you with his beer breath.”

Women confused him. Even is sister confused him. They were another breed that he knew nothing about. Adam knew about the mind of men and of wolves. Females were still strange to him. Maybe that was why he had a hard time luring in a good catch. Women were lured into his brother’s sensual aura. Most women avoided Adam, maybe because he had a brother who seemed more than willing to spread rumors of a shift in his sexuality.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smirked some as she looked at him as he bragged, she shrugged " No you're drinking dose not concern me, i was just wondering really, and i do not know you but who say i would not like to know you. i do not fear that you well try to seduce me like the fool did. Also i am not the type of woman to be easily seduced by anyone " she said as she looked at the bartender. Pretty words where all that man ever said to her but none of them ever got a date or anything from her.

She moved her finger over the rim of the class and then glance at him. She did want to tell him that she just did not want him to forget that he met her. Sometime alcohol did that she did not know if did to him. She would fine out, whenever they met again." I do not normal talk with men too much, my aunt always saw i should act like a lady." she said as she finished off her drink. She truthfully do not think she would talk to his brother he seems to have his skills down. But she did not know she never met him so she did not know how he was. Rumors and stories that all she heard.
