::Kerion backs away from the girl, but keeps his gun aimed:: "Stand aside." ::The answer he gets, the girl swipes her right arm infront of her, what comes flying at him surprises him. He dodges the shurikens she threw from out of nowhere. Even though he knew he could take her down, he's not one to shoot a child, assuming the girl before him was human::

::Yami throws her arms around Astaroth, burying her head in her shoulders::
Yami: Leave my sister alone!

"Listen kid. That demon is the only one that knows where my daughter is. She's been through enough already, I just want her back." ::Yami then remembers what Maria told her of her 'uncle', his job, what he can do and what he looks like.::

::Yami starts crying as she realizes::
Yami: Maria's gone. The white haired lady took her. I looked everywhere! She's not with us anymore! Go away! I hate you!

"What white haired lady?" ::He holsters his Punisher and appraoches them, settinghis blade-gun down.:: "Describe her at least. I'll leave if you do."

::The doors of the warehouse are thrust open with a bang::
Maria: Uncle Kerion!
::Maria dashes straight to him, and behind him is Nyx, the white haired sorceress he knew from the fight with Typhon. Her face is as placid as usual, but there's something unusual in her glassy black eyes when they land on Kerion. She was a skilled fighter, but even in that intense battle, he had never known her to show anger at all. But he could swear she was glaring at him::

Nyx. And I know why she's mad. He thought as Maria got to him. ::He forgot them and scooped Maria into his arms:: "Maria! I thought I lost you." ::Looks to Nyx:: "I know I don't deserve forgiveness. But thank you for saving Maria."

::Nyx doesn't move::
Nyx: The Miss sent me. She was concerned for your daughter.
::She moves closer to him, her face remaining unchanged::
Nyx: That's not all she told me.
::Out of nowhere, a glint of metal in her hand finds its way to his throat::
Nyx: But I didn't need her to tell me. I saw the bullet wound in her shoulder.

::He remains still, not concern about the fact she held a blade to his throat. But he then takes notice of the barrels as the flames reach them:: "I think it would be in all of our best intrests to get out of here ASAP."

::Nyx doesn't move, but with a flick of her wrist, she draws blood from the flesh in his neck. There's no real damage, but his blood slides down the slender blade of her weapon::
Nyx: You will never touch her again. Am I understood?

"Understood." ::He looks to the barrels before getting Marai to the door, he looks back to Yami and Astaroth:: "Get out of here! This place is about to go up in flames!"

::He sets Maria down at the door:: "Get outside and wait." ::Looks back to the other two as she runs out. He gets back to them, but sees they glare at him:: "Come on! Now's not the time to let your pride get in the way." ::He extends his hand to Asatroth::

::Astaroth bares her fangs and bats his hand away. She rises on shaky legs to scoop Yami up in her arms. Then she flaps her injured wings, gaining about a foot in the air. She staggers in her flight for a moment before gliding forward quickly, flying over Kerion and out of the warehouse. They fly over Maria's head and the girl watches Yami turn to wave goodbye to her before they vanish over the rooftops::

::Elsewhere, Astaroth lands hard on one of the rooftops, knocking Yami from her grasp where the girl lands gracefully on her feet. Astaroth rolls onto her back to lean against the edge of the roof. She breathes heavily of exhaustion::
Astaroth: Go back to your father. I'll be fine. I just need to rest.
::Yami says nothing. She just crawls closer to her::
Astaroth: I said go back. What are you doing?
::Again Yami doesn't respond. She wriggles her way onto the demoness' lap and rests her head against her chest. She feels Astaroth growl in her chest, but seeing there's nothing she can do, she puts her arms around the girl::
Astaroth: You just keep getting stranger.

"Actually no. Nu sent me to make sure you don't wind up killing yourself. And from the looks of it, you almost bought the ghost." ::He approaches them:: "And he did warn you not to underestimate the sharpshooter."

::Astaroth moves slowly so as not to wake Yami who has now fallen asleep. She sits up as far as she can::
Astaroth: So what are our orders now?
