"Shame you'll never know isn't it witch?" The Yoma hissed at Nya, then cackled madly
On her way out of the alley Selene stopped walking at the sudden explosion of Yoma power from the right of the town; 'Almost 50%...Idiot! Why is there always one?!' she cursed under her breath, then leapt to the roof-tops, drew her Claymore, and sped over them to where Nya was standing over the madly cackling Yoma and looked down angrily; "Would you mind explaining to me what the hell you think you're doing?!" she bellowed down at her; "And what part of the word 15% you don't understand?!; If you increase your Yoma energy any further, then you won't be able to turn back. And then I'll kill you. So stop pissing around. NOW!"

"I was... well I warned people of the coming danger. with hundreds of yoma you need good warning if that's appearing..." Nowe took a dramatic sigh, "but I can't help now. Now that i'm being forced by the silver eyed witches to stay with them. I wonder if that group is elsewhere; killing mercilessly... and eating the corpses of though they've killed." He shook his head, "such a horrible way to die."

"Sadly" Nya smiled slyly and casually flicked her wrist, slashing the yoma into five equal pieces.
"Yes actually I do" she hissed at Selene "You beat me once, it won't happen again. Besides ..." She turned and headed towards the wall where she left her claymore "I'm just following orders" she tossed to the wind as she changed back to her normal self and rounded the corner

Selene had to concentrate very hard to stop herself leaping down and beating some respect into Nya. Instead, with control firmly established, she slid down from the rooftops and walked beside her; "Firstly, all I did was hit you, and you're lucky I haven't done so again; learn some respect for your superiors Nya. Secondly, whose orders are those, I don't recall ever telling you to half-awaken to kill the Yoma?" she asked rather sternly
In the centre of the town Kaela returned to Nowe and the elder; who had just finished speaking; "I'm sue that they have good reason to be keeping you with them, my boy..." he greeted Kaela with a nod, then turned at the sound of approaching footsteps.
Entering the town was the black-robed administrator Nepthys; he walked over to them, ignored the salute Kaela gave him, and continued as if she hadn't just been courteous; "Where is Selene; I have the new orders?" he said rather gleefully

Nya's eyes flashed with slight annoyance but she pushed it aside as she wrenched her claymore from the wall and headed towards the approaching administrator "Firstly I have respect for MY superiors" she quipped, putting emphasis on the word
"Secondly I would love to tussel with you but alas I have orders yet again. Thirdly all my current orders are from people standing above him" she nodded in the direction of the administrator and walked on past without so much as a nod. "Just ask him, I'm sure he should know by now"

Selene made sure her face was expressionless as she considered what had just been said; 'That can only mean the hierarchs are up to something again then...' she thought to herself as she walked into the square.
She sighed inwardly when she saw Nepthys with his usual smug look; "So where are we going this time then" she said rather resignedly "You..." he said with emphasis; "Are going North on an awakened hunt. Your little friends are going east to the town of Calmatha on a separate mission" Selene almost smiled; "So I finally get a worthwhile job eh? Took you long enough" she said, taking the scroll of orders he had produced for her and leaning back against a wall,
"Kaela, you are to go with Nya, as I said..." Nepthys said, turning to Kaela and tossing her another scroll of orders; "You are in charge, and as a bonus you two get to look after the Human!" he said, looking a little too pleased with himself; "Any questions?"

Nowe grumbled at the old man, then grumbled more at the Claymores as they arrived. He didn't really pay much attention to what they were talking about, he was mainly thinking of a way to get out of this annoyance.
"Any Questions," was the only thing he heard.
"Yeah i have a question. What reason do Claymores have for keeping a human under survailance?" Nowe asked folding his arms.

"The rules of the Organisation, boy; which we have no need to discuss with a human..." Nepthys said, with his usual arrogance.
Selene was rummaging in her bag, checking her supplies as Nowe asked his question; 'Typical stubbornness showing again...' she thought to herself, closing her bag back up as she found she was still well stocked; she grabbed hold of Kaela and pulled her round a corner, out of earshot of the others; "Listen up whelp..." she began, answering Kaela's confused look; "Just a few words of advice; keep an eye on Nowe, and keep Nya the hell out of trouble!" she looked her in the eye; "And be careful yourself...". Kaela looked at her with confusion; "Erm...pardon me Selene, but, um...I thought you hated us?" Selene actually smiled; "I'm a hardass, not a complete bitch" she walked back into the square, leaving Kaela standing in the backstreet, laughing despite herself.
------------------------------------
The group arrived a few days later at their destination; Selena travelling with them for the first day, before breaking off and going her own way.
The town ahead of them was a large stone settlement, which was surprisingly quiet despite its size. There is a large Yoma aura in the centre of the town, and a large aura to the right hand side as well.

Nya eyed up the town with no surprise. She picked up a fair amount of aura but couldn't work out the numbers, there could be 20 or a thousand for all she knew so far. But it didn't matter, there were demons to kill and enough to get worked up to at least 40%.
She turned to Kaela and smirked "So the middle or the right? ..."

"I'll take the centre..." Kaela said, scanning the area; "Because I doubt you'll take the suggestion that we should both go the same way here..." she felt the auras carefully; there seemed to be a large number of Yoma in both directions, but she couldn't quite get an exact number; "My best guess is that there are at least 15 Yoma in either direction...This is going be be tough either way..."
'They wouldn't send us on a mission that we couldn't acomplish, I'm sure...' she thought to herself, turning to Nowe; "I'm afraid I can't entirely trust you not to run at the first opportunity, so I'm going to give you a choice..." she said to him; "You can either go with Nya or come with me...Or I can tie you to one of the pillars until we get back..."

Nya grinned at Nowe, but she appeared sinister with her now golden eyes and pointed ears "Make up your mind runt! I haven't got all day"
She flexed her arms and legs impatiently, building up her power for a quick release. She reached for her swords but stopped short, deciding to fetch her claymore instead, a blade bearing scars but no mark.
"Ah screw it, you can keep him with you" she spouted with utter disgust, and headed off without a second glance

"Stay close behind me then..." Kaela said to Nowe; "And when the fighting starts, take cover..." she said
The Scene on the right was at first seemingly normal, albeit unnaturally quiet, until reaching a square in the middle of a group of houses, wherein the scene was very different: Human corpses were strewn about the area, shredded and mangled as was the norm for victims of Yoma.
There were also the remains of a large number of Yoma, splattered widely around the square along with what looked to be the remains of three awakened ones, sliced to pieces quite artistically. The entire square was covered in blood and reeked of death.
At the far end of the square a heavily injured Claymore, covered in what appeared to be her own blood was impaled through the stomach to the wall upon the sword of Another Warrior; The second warrior was imposingly tall, her long hair tapered down to her lower back. Only her sword was covered in various different colours of blood. Her symbol, a red enamelled blood-drop, could be seen on her weapon and her lapel, since she could be viewed side-on from where she was standing. She raised her left hand, wiped some of the blood from her sword, then carefully licked it from her fingers, before grinning manically at the Warrior she was impaling: "Not so talkative now are we bitch?" she laughed disturbingly

Nya stopped short of the clearing, keeping in the shadow of the streets. She had a perfect view and possibly a good angle to attack. But judging from the mess around the square she'd rather take her chance with the hierarchy. Still there were some questions that could do with answers, again not any that warranted her head on a stick.
She planted her claymore in the ground and perched on top, to see how the scene played out

The Warrior continued to laugh for a few moments, before calmly yanking her sword out of her victim, and turning as the now-freed other Claymore slumped to the ground behind her.
As she turned, she was revealed to be quite pretty, or at least would have been had she not had such a manic smile seemingly permanently on her face: "Not very good at hiding our aura are we?" she said sweetly: "Why don't we come out, number...hmm...you're lower than 60 that's for sure" she swiped her sword behind her, decapitating the other warrior: "I love guessing games! Come out and tell me how close I was! I'm sure I was close, right?!" she kept up the insane smile

Nya stayed perched on her sword as the shadows slowly crept behind, bathing her and her dull armour in a cold light. She stared at the seemingly manic warrior with fascination and total silence. It took about a second for her to think of a few reasons why this scene was set this way, all of them contradicting one another and therefore not worth another thought.
'Calm is the key to success' a voice echoed in the back of her mind. So Nya stayed perched and waited for the moment when things change, for good or bad.
