Manik, his attention span so suddenly torn from Drew, looked up at this somewhat mysterious newcomer. Hmm...he seemed familiar. His thoughts then took him back to a few minutes ago when the same man he was looking at now had to graciously robbed about ten wooden dummies of their existence. Oh! This was that same man! Well then, it was obvious that he was powerful, and to be "feared". Manik rolled his eyes almost casually, and stood up to greet the shinobi before them. Before doing so, he looked over at Drew. Oh jeez...a real suck-up. This was either love at first sight, or she was begging him to notice that she had at least one-tenth of his power. Pitiful...oh well.
"No, no. Don't get the wrong idea about us. Sorry that we looked so...intimidating.", he said with a small grin. Manik knew that he probably stood no chance against this ninja at the moment, but pissing him off would be a great accomplishment to him. It seemed that after so long of resisting it, Manik was starting to enjoy the part of him that was demon. He then looked over at Drew, who still looked like boiled spaghetti from just one look at this new stranger. "Ah. I see you've met Drew. Normally she's quiet, but she seems to have taken a shine to you. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe fear?", he said, looking at the twirling shuriken still in his hand. This was probably going to land him in seriously bad terms with him, but whatever. He could still just apologize later. Maybe.
Really, this was just a way to look "brave" in front of Drew. First impressions really ARE everything.

Hiroshi looked upon drew and Manik, one looked nervous while the other acting cool and calm. He didn't mean to strike fear, just to make sure they wouldn't destroy his own place, they could have burned the others but he looks out for himself. His attention was caught by Drew who so kindly grabbed his shuriken, he looked upon her Thanks, and yeah I know Ninjutsu, along with other forms of combat he said. He paused for a second, Who might you be? he said looking at the other two. My names Hiroshi Shimada he said while he took back his shuriken.
He truned to Manik, ignoring his witty attitude. No its not that, Im just looking out for myself really he paused for a second. So you need a place to say huh?. Well I got one, its big for a single person, take it or leave it, doesn't matter to me he said almost coldly. He can be a bit harsh at times but he did show generosity.

"Well, that sounds like a plan to me," Ka Sel's playful tone rang out as he approached, with a plastic shopping bag filled with items hanging about his neck. He sat down cheerfully as his paws brought him into the circle, and a lustful eye locked on Drew's nervous face. He continued to speak, regardless of his examinations. "There needn't be much room. Just for me, really. Drew here would probably just creep out in the night to sleep in a tree, she's so used to 'roughing it' as the kids say."
Ka Sel was probably right, but Drew was distracted in the presence of a Ninjutsu artist, and couldn't note it. She was a samurai, yes, and a user of weapons, but that didn't mean she couldn't be an admirer of martial art as well. "What other styles--?" she blurted out, before stopping herself in mid-syllable and speaking more quietly, still wringing her hands. "What other styles do you know...?"
The great cat watched Drew with extreme interest. She was like a lovestruck pup. He found it infinitely amusing, and could be seen openly grinning at the sight with the ends of his lips pulling back to reveal white pointed molars. His words came out in a quiet grumble, not wanting to disturb this delicious image of his stoic young friend. "Manik, will you be staying with us tonight, or are you going to let me keep these two all to my giddy self...?"

Manik turned his attention toward Ka Sel, who seemed to be enjoying himself well enough. He grinned at him, and then looked over at Drew, who still seemed smitten with this new ninja. He was surprised that Ka Sel wasen't upset at all, as it seemed as though he held feelings for her. Oh well...that wasn't his business. "Sure, sure. I'd love to stay with you guys.", he responded to Ka Sel.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a sharp pain in his neck took him, and he hopped off of the log gingerly, favoring his neck and groaning semi-loudly in an "Ahhh..." fashion. The pain eventually took him to his knees, and his eyes and teeth clenched tightly as the pain overtook him. It was almost unbearable, even for the Steel-willed Iron Fist.

Hiroshi noticed how the samurai was interested, it made him almost laugh, not in a bad way, no person admired him, or whatever it may be. Well I know Tai-jutsu, Ninpo, Dakentaijutsu, Koppojutsu, Kenjutsu, Taijutsu, Taihenjutsu and im pretty deadly with these fist and bow he explained. He then noticed Manik, this pain he was in brought him down to his knees, he looked down upon him. He stood and watched, he was taught to overcome whatever may happen to you, thus he would treat others the same.

Ka Sel reacted similarly Hiroshi, and stared blankly at Manik without empathy. If he showed any emotion at all, it was slight disgust. He just wasn't good in situations like these. Perhaps if Manik was a sexy woman rather than just a man in pain, he would have acted. Not necessarily HELPFUL actions... but actions none-the-less.
Drew was caught in the middle of a barrage of emotions herself, and when Manik went down, her reaction was quick but awkward. A blushing glance to Hiroshi, and lips slightly gaping as if she wanted to respond to what he said, but finding her new friend in pain, could not.
She was on her knees as well in just seconds, taloned hand extended to rest on the back of Manik's neck. A deep concern was on her face as she offered a soft but stern inquiry of "Are you alright?" while reaching out to the plastic bag around Ka Sel's neck in hopes of finding something helpful to the situation at hand.

Gaaah....this pain was unbearable...why was it here?! Dammit, Manik hadn't pulled any muscles while training, had he? No, he would have remembered that...what the hell was WRONG with him?? Just as he thought he wouldn't be able to take it anymore, he felt Drew's hand on his neck, and for a second, the pain stopped. It quickly returned, though. "I...really don't know if I'm okay or not...it's just a really sharp pain in my...", he said, stopping in mid-sentence.
His eyes snapped open, and he slowly stood up. A look of tiredness swept over him, and it seemed that someone slammed "slo-mo" on Manik's body. He looked toward Ka Sel with the same tired look. "I...think I'm gonna take a rain-check on what you asked me before., he said in an exhausted tone. Cracking his neck, he then looked back toward Drew and smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine." After these words, he walked slowly into the forest.
About a few yards away from the other three, Manik stopped. He closed his eyes, and then something happened. He began to speak...but this was surely NOT his voice. This voice was raspier than usual. "Hmm...this body is solid, but lacks pain resistance...I almost gave myself away back there...I need to be more careful. In the meantime...I need to find out if that pest Adell still resides here in Veldime...", he said to himself, turning back toward the Village. He slowly began to walk back, hatching a scheme in a mind that was not totally his own.

Hiroshi observed the two, seeing Manik get up and act fine made him rather curious and suspicious. To see someone get up from being in bad pain to being ok, that smile he made was awkward. Oh well it wasn't his business, long as he wasn't dead. He watched him walk away towards the forest, Hiroshi then turned back to Drew, he recalled her blushing. Hiroshi scanned her from the bottom up I take it your a samurai, What fighting styles do you know? I practice over there most of the time he said as he pointed to where the wooden dummys were.

Drew's stare was lost on Manik for a good minute or so, trailing after him with worry. Her furry little toes were moved as if she meant to follow him, but only one step could be taken before Ka Sel's barbed tail whipped out in a flurry of crimson, threatening to cut her leg where it stood. "Absolutely not," he grunted in a husky feline murmur. And he said nothing else to her as his blackened paws trotted with a surprising silence after the departed demon.
The porcupine woman watched Ka Sel's retreating hindquarters with worry. Really, today had been so unfortunate. But while she wouldn't trust the cat with a secret, a phone number, or really much of anything at all, she trusted him with situations like these. This was his 'field' after all.
Drew twirled to Hiroshi with a truly outstanding resilience in her fangy grin. "Just some basic stuff and a bit of Zui Quan. Ka used to teach stuff like that so he taught me what he could, but you can see how having a quadruped teach you kung fu can have its flaws."
Ka Sel's paws slowed to a steadier, relaxed pace to strut beside Manik. His mane was stiff with a feeling of unrest... this was the sort of entity he hadn't dealt with in a very long time. There would be no fooling a creature with a mind like Ka, and certainly no escaping muscled limbs such as his. But he was relaxed, or at least giving the impression that he was. "State your breed and origin," he mumbled under kitty breath. "Please."

Just a bit startled by the intrusion, Manik spun around just in time for the word "Please" to leave Ka Sel's lips. He raised an eyebrow at Ka Sel, trying his hardest to look baffled. "My breed...? Oh, if you're talking about what kind of demon I am, than I guess I'm a dog demon. It really dosen't show, though.", he explained to Ka Sel, trying to ease suspicion from his mind slowly and surely.
Grr...this useless abomination...I should kill him here and now...
Manik turned then, and looked up at the branches of a tree silently. Closing his eyes, he tried his hardest to seem at ease, breathing deeply and sighing every so often.
I....NEED....HIS....LIFE....
He then turned again, feeling his control slipping away like grains of sand through an hourglass. He was about to lose it, and this wasen't the right time or place. "I think you should leave. Your friends are waiting for you back at town.", trying to get his out of here before his bloodlust took over his senses.
