A warm cup of coffee { open}

[Adam Kohaku]

Perhaps, not all women wanted to be lured away with seductive eyes and sensual lips. Adam wouldn’t know. He had almost come to a point in his life where he didn’t want to conquer the frontier of women and sex. Romance, love, sex, lust, they had just become words to him. He knew the love of siblings, but not the love of a woman.

Maybe he was over thinking this whole thing. This woman was but a stranger he had helped. He knew her face and name. He knew her father was a scientist and that she lived with her aunt. He knew, or had been told, that she could cook. Other than that, the hunter knew nothing about her.

Another shot of whisky. When he drank he was usually alone in his own world. No one really pestered him. No one talked to him. It was just Adam and his alcohol. This girl was making him think too much. His time at the bar was for forgetting not for thinking.

A hand went through the wolf hunter’s long hair as he thought. She seemed like a nice girl. Why was she choosing to continue to talk to him? Just because he had played hero?

“Look, Breanne, you shouldn’t get involved with a guy like me,” Adam said as his eyes moved over to hers. “Of all the times you choose to talk to a man, why do you do so with a wolf hunter? People try to stir clear of me for a reason. I just bring trouble and death.”

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne, blinked and looked at Adam as she smirked, She understood where her was come from. She had noted that most of the people did not talk to him. Most just stare when his back was turned and whisper. Most people just saw what was on the outside. She did not understand. There was more to a person then what they did. She moved her finger in her hair and turned and looked into his eyes.

" Adam, I truly do not think you are that bad of a guy, just because most people see you just as your job. I see more, i do not know their something about you. Is it bad for me to what to know more about you. It not like i am asking for anything." she said. She sighed as she looked down some, she smirked. " it not like i am asking you to like or love me, not like i need, that right now" she whisper. She looked back at the drink, she sighed, " death dose not only fallow you around. I... the things my father did and made me do." she said. " all for his Research, he made me his lab rat" she said as she finished off her shot and shook her head as she moved her hands to her head as she sighed.

[Adam Kohaku]

A lab rat. How hadn’t he guessed it? The children of scientists were often a misfortunate lot. He had come across a handful of people who had been scientists’ children. Most had endured some sort of DNA testing. Nobles wanted their flower maidens desperately and were willing to force children into being lab rats. How sick this world could be.

“What you ask of me does not matter. The simple fact that you are spending this much time talking to me is what bothers me.”

A messenger of death. Wolf hunters were often called such things. Messengers of death. He had killed countless beasts without giving a second thought to them. He had seen more blood than anyone could ever imagine. He had his own scars and disturbing memories. He could not imagine how it would feel to be a lab rat, but he knew death and destruction. Death followed this girl, but she had no idea what it felt like to be a grim reaper.

Adam was ready to get out of this bar. Sure, he could have a room here at this inn, but he felt strange staying here. Maybe this girl was the cause of it. Or maybe it was just all of these people hanging off of his every word.

“I don’t really like talking about personal matters in public,” the Kohaku said after slamming down another shot glass. “I can’t stop you from tagging along and letting curiosity chain you to me. I think I will head up to a room with a bottle of whisky.”

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smirked some as she looked at the time, she sighed some as she looked at him as he spoke, she titled her head some. " but i did not ask anything of you Adam, " she said. He did not have to talk to her this long but he did, she wonder if someone in his mind that he did not know that he had wanted to talk to someone other then his family or the beast he hunted, She moved her hand in her hair, everyone had scars and memories. Her mind to the passed when she was with her father. The one thing she would not tell anyone is that she had killed her father, well the man that she thought was her father. She sighed as she felt a little light headed. She had a room, here her aunt was in her own room." Oh about dinner how about, in a week. On a Friday would be good," she said. She smirked as she wrote down her address for him as she smiled

Breanne glance at him as he spoke again, she smirked as she pulled her sweater on and then moved to her feet she giggled some as she moved close to him as she lean in and kissed him on the cheek. " sound tempting, but i do not know if it would be a good idea if i tagged along but i would if you wanted me to but i do not think you would say that" she said in a whisper She slipped the paper in his pocket as she turn and looked back at the bartender as she sat back down and crossed her legs, glanced at him. Wonder what he thinking about but that would be a hard thing to guess.

[Adam Kohaku]

Adam Kohaku stood there for a long moment, looking at the girl. A strange look took over his face. He showed no true expression of happiness, embarrassment, shock, confusion, or even anger. He just looked at Breanne with this unknown emotion.

His cheeks finally flushed as his dark blue eyes scanned over the girl. One would think the hunter had never been kissed before, had never been touched by a woman. He had been pecked on the cheek before, hadn’t he? And if he had, he had reacted in the same way. Had he liked it? Or was he finding this interaction repulsive? Maybe this was why people thought he was gay.

“My bottle,” Adam said as he patted the countertop. The bartender slipped a bottle of whisky into the hunter’s reach, and Adam took hold of the neck of the bottle. His eyes moved back to the purple eyed girl.

“Like I said. I can’t stop you from following,” Adam repeated slowly before turning away from the girl and going off to his own room. Maybe that was his open invitation for her to come up to his room. Maybe it wasn’t. The Kohaku wasn’t even sure. What was he doing?

Kaine would laugh at me for this. Walking away from a girl in such a manner.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smirked as she looked at the bartender, who nodded and lean in and whisper something to her and looked off the way Adam went. She stood up and walked out. Something made her change her mind did not know why she followed him. She to being next to him she smirked as she walked over to the elevator and pushed the button. Purple eyes looked at the number of the floor they where one, she sighed some as she fished out her key and looked at the number she had wrote down, 456 she glance over at Adam as she mover her finger in her hand and smirk as the two elevators one was still at the top floor and the other was slowly coming down.

She oddly wonder if she should go check on, her aunt but she did not want to. She bit her lip as she giggled at what the bartender had said to her she cover her mouth some as the elevator open, she looked at Adam and smirk " Are you getting on or take then stair?, Not like i am following you i am just going to my room?" she said, She knew it was a lie but she just could not stay it out loud. She noted how most people stayed way from Adam, she smiled as she waited on him to make up his mind. She blushed as she said " if you afraid i kiss you again do not worry i would not in an elevator"; she smiled as she step in.The large elevator, she glance at him as she stood near the back.

[Adam Kohaku]

The wolf hunter looked at the girl in a peculiar way. So, she had decided to come after him. He was sure of it, though she would act as though she was simply going to her room. What was Adam to do? He wasn’t quite sure himself.

“I am taking the elevator,” the Kohaku said as he stepped onto the elevator. “And I am not afraid of you kissing me again. I’m not afraid of anything.”

He wasn’t scared of being kissed, just the idea was foreign and strange to him. Adam didn’t know if he wanted to kiss and move forward with sex like a normal male. What was he thinking? He didn’t know. Blue eyes glanced over to the younger female. Why was she trying to spend this time with him? Did she even know?

Adam stepped forward and clicked the button to his floor. “I don’t know what to think about you,” he said out loud. So use to the wolves. Interactions with humans were more confusing than interactions with nobles. Nicely dressed females weren’t something Adam was use to. He had dealt with many homeless women and many nuns, but none acted in such a way.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne smirked and looked at him, as she smirked and moved some as she had already pushed her number she looked at him and titled her head, " Not afraid hmm really. Huh seems like to me that you ran way from me." she said she looked up as she moved her fingers over her lips and smiled " Should i be afraid of you ? I do not think you do anything to me. I do not think you could do anything to me" she said as she lean on the wall in the back of the elevator.

Purple eyes closed some as she sighed, she thought too much about what the bartender said. She leaned her back on the wall and open one eye, she glance at him " Why, am i that much of a mysterious to you, I think it normal for a teenage to find someone they like, and if that person brush them off, who says they have to give up?" she said. She moved her foot some as to the wall behind her. " i do not think you understand but i think you well at some point. Anyway I am still trying to understand this feeling i am have myself." She said.

Breanne moved her fingers over her arm, as she smiled " you know i have heard gossip but i do not think it is true," she said. The elevator dinged as it went up, two more floor to her room and three to his. She moved some as she moved passed him. " I do think you are afraid of let anyone other then your family close to you, but it seems like you do not know it," she said as her back to him as she looked at the number as it went up.

[Adam Kohaku]

Her words seemed to just float around his head without really landing anywhere. Adam was not afraid of simple kisses. He wasn’t afraid of getting close to people who were outside of his family. The hunter just hadn’t had any need for anyone outside of his small family.

Trust. That was what stopped the wolf hunter from getting to close to anyone else. He had very limited trust. He trusted his brother Kaine and his sister Lina. They had never wronged him, and his connection to them was instant when they had met. He fell into the role of being the younger brother to Kaine and the older brother to Lina.

Adam stepped forward. His left hand held the bottle of whisky as his right hand grasped Breanne’s shoulder as he pressed her back against the elevator wall. His eyes surveyed the girl’s face with a strange intensity. He had an eerie seriousness about him as his studied Breanne.

“Fear is not what keeps me away from people. I do not fear getting close to other people. It is simply a lack of trust.” His right hand came in contact with the cold metal of the elevator wall as his face inched slightly closer to hers. “Why shouldn’t you be afraid of me? Everyone should fear me.”

He wasn’t really thinking. Perhaps he was just talking. Words just spilled forth from his mouth, and he had no control over it. Was this really how he felt? He didn’t know anymore. He was use to not trusting. He was use to people being terrified of me. Someone showing any warmth towards him was a strange experiences that inside of his mind had to be stifled.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne blinked and looked at him as he grabs her shoulder and pressed her against the elevator wall. She smirked some as she looked at his face. She had gotten a reaction out him, her purple eyes met his, as he spoke. Her lips parted, " I do not fear your, oddly this may sound funny to you but i trust you." she said. She blushed as his face inched closer to hers she smiled softly " you do not have to trust me yet but i hope that you do someday i would never hurt you in anyway." she said her hands stand at her stands as she looked at him, her eyes closed as she felt her heart beat faster.

He was so close to her she could smell the whisky on his lips and hear his breath. She kept her eyes closed, she knew her heart would be broken by this man one day but she did not care, she wanted to know him. She wanted to be close to him. The more he pushed her to fear him the more she knew he was just talking, no one really wanted to be feared. She wondered what he would do, he could walk away or anything her mind ran she really wanted to open her eyes and look at him but she did not he was still there she could feel it

[Adam Kohaku]

The wolf hunter’s head slowly shook. Stupid girl. That was the only thought that ran into his head. Stupid. Girl. Did he really mean such thoughts? No, but why would someone trust so easily? Why would she dare to trust someone like a hunter? Had humans still not come to learn to simply mistrust the hunters and the nobles?

Adam slightly pulled back away from Breanne. His dark eyes closed slowly, and his head tilted off to the side. He wanted to retreat back into the depths of himself and be away from people. Maybe he wasn’t made to trust and to lust. This girl seemed quite genuine with her want to be around him. Even if she didn’t want to go straight to the bedroom, why was he not feeling the want to be closer to her? No, he wasn’t a homosexual. He wasn’t gay. Women attracted him, but when he got a chance it was like he just…

Froze. A brick wall built up quickly to block out any escape of emotion. He distanced himself. Was he wanting to connect to this girl but his mind was telling him no? Had his childhood done this to him? He was use to the outcasts. He was use to the streets. He was not use to pretty girls with sweet smiles and caring eyes.

“It would be best if you left me alone, Breanne,” Adam said as he stepped back away from her. Yes, shove her as far away as possible. “I have more problems than I can count, and you don’t want to burden yourself.”

He would definitely have to have a chat with his brother. He would always be a virgin at this rate if he would push away any and every girl who would show him even the slightest interest. Kaine could help, at least he hoped he could. If anything, his older brother would be able to clear or help figure out Adam’s thoughts and emotional issues. At the moment, distancing himself seemed to be the only answer he could come up with.

“You are cute and sweet, don’t taint yourself with me,” the hunter said as he leaned back against the wall opposite of Breanne. Damn his thoughts and emotions.

[Breanne A Hayden]

Breanne open her eyes, as she looked at Adam. He move back some, a smirk moved over her lips. Her eyes lowered off him as she listened to him speak. she titled her head some her lips parted as she said, " I don't know what it is but i can not leave you alone, but i well stop now. " she smiled some. Was he worrying about her? that was a odd thing for him to do? she moved her fingers over her lips as she moved her foot some. " I think it would be my choice if i burden myself" she said. She smirked as she looked over him some as she moved to the door. Looking at him, " Thank you, in this world i am lucky i am not tainted yet it going to happened one day i like to be someone of my picking" she said.

Breanne walked close to him she moved some and smirked " So next Friday come and i fix you dinner, if you do not wish to be alone with me bring someone along" she said as she sighed some. Adam need to think her floor was next if he wanted to stop her the time was close but he been pushing her way so why would he not now. She licked her lips as she moved some as she pulled her hair into a pony tail. She glance at him as she smiled and blushed.
