"Starting off with the hard questions, huh?" She teased with a smile she hid behind a hand.

"I guess I'm pretty plain, but I like vanilla... but maybe with some chocolate sauce and sprinkles to spice things up. What about you? What do you like?"

--

-- into her shoulder.

"I never... wanted to hurt you." She shuddered through the pain, blood trickling down the fresh wound.

"And I still don't!"

-- late at this point. Kazumi had committed to the attack and Jun had to move. She only had time to step aside enough to avoid being pierced through the heart and instead be pierced through the shoulder.

Jun quickly clasped her dark hand around Kazumi's wrist to keep her attacker's claws dug --

-- "You're Kazumi! Or part of her...
I-I didn't mean for that to happen to you!"
Her grip on that leg tightened, and soon, she raised to a stand and swung Kazumi around. Then, she released her, throwing the devilish Kazumi against a far wall.

"Kazumi! This isn't you! Please, don't fight!"

-- as the crumbling debris fell all around Jun, who was brought to a coughing fit from the planted foot pressed down into her gut.

Through ragged breaths, she clutched her attackers ankle.

"You... Kazumi?!" With all her strength, she began to push that leg in her clutches up and off her. --

-- claws digging into her arms would have been cause for concern, but the Devil Lady's eyes were fixated on this enemy's face. There was a familiarity in their eyes.

"How do you know her?!" Coming to her senses, Jun hiked her legs up and then kicked them into her foe's abdomen to shove them off.

-- I hope for your sake one of you can actually speak!" Jun's voice was stern and demanding.

-- behind Kazumi. They opened their jagged toothed maw open wide in anticipation as they slowly made their approach, unaware of the newcomer who had just stormed in.

Jun Fudo, The Devil Lady, clutched the head of the merged beast and raised him upward, dangling him in the air.

"Enough! --

-- smashed into, the dark figure overlooks the damage, noticing a battle between other beasts had already commenced.

The place they had broken into was a supermarket in its after hours. The two merged beasts were hiding in the darkness, shuffling through aisles, trying to circle around --

-- monsters, who easily walked to them, ready to tear into them and make meals of them.

-- three humanoid beasts emerged, covered in hair, their faces each distinct from one another, but all of them ghastly with crazed eyes and salivating maws filled with flesh tearing teeth.

The two drunkards fell back, and shrieked, trying best to crawl away, but were far too slow for the --

-- call a ride and with no one else in sight, they thought it best to somehow walk home.

Unfortunately for the two of them, they were easy prey for a hungry pack of savage beasts.

There was a rustle from the bushes by the pavement they walked on. Then, from behind them, a group of --

-- disappeared into. Her apartment was taken note of. She walked to the door, gently placed her hand against its surface, and lingered a moment
Then, she slipped away, but this would not be the last time Jun stopped by this place.

-- herself wondering. The answers needed to be found, even if it meant going beyond boundaries.

Once Kazumi walked into the distance, Jun felt her legs move, sending her into a hurried jog to follow.

After some sneaking around from a short distance, Jun found the residence that Kazumi --

-- relent, another attempt was made to approach Kazumi. Jun's brows furrowed up in anguish. A step forward became an insistence to take their history into consideration again, although it was a forced and desperate attempt that would not help Jun's case in appearing friendly.
