A girl lay in a scanner, her head rested on the curved wall her legs closed together with the rest of her body on her. She jolts awake and falls forward landing outside of the scanner. She crawls to her feet and looks around. Confused she walks over to the elevator and trips. Her foot flies up a little, brushing up against the red button that makes it move. The elevator stops at the main level. She walks out and looks around. Curious she walks up to the rope and tries to climb it. In many failed attempts she decides to search for another way up to the outside world where she sees stars and a moon shining down on her.

Shadow is on the bridge, gazing at the river. He hears someone inside and tenses. Foolish of him to leave his things back in America. Then a girl stumbles out. He had heard rumors of Xana having a daughter, but she had drowned in the Digital Sea before anyone saw her. Perhaps the girl survived, managed to make it to the real world, and is now standing before him?
"Who goes?" he calls. "State your name!"

The girl looks up at the misterious person before her. He didn't look like her would do her harm. She walked closer trying to find the words to say, "I don't know my name."

Shadow goes to her as she reels on her feet. Feeling no hatred in his hand, and seeing that his crest has not appeared, he could tell this one was not an enemy.
"Do you think you can come up with a name that describes you, which you can go by until you learn your name?" he asks her.

She looked at the sky in hopes for an answer from there. Her vocabulary was small by she noticed as she had a breaf flash back of her past that the name "Yuuki" appeared more times than any other word. She looked down from the sky and to the strange and misterious man and said, "Yuuki."

"Well, then, Yuuki, I'm Shadow, at your service," he says, taking her hand and shaking it gently.
Beyond his gentle eyes, one would see a savage beast ready to rip apart anything that opposed what is good and right.

A boy with hellish red eyes watched the scene unfolding before the crimson and almost-demonic orbs. Something about the man made him want to kill, but the fires in his heart kept him calm. The boy looked at his hand, a lighter being played with. He would silently click it on, and watch the flames dance. However many times he was burned with the fire, it never hurt his flesh. He watched the girl struggle to come up with a name for a moment. Yuuki? Interesting name, child, he thought with an unfazed stare. His orbs took in both figures and the fire gave his eyes a worsening glare of pure hatred, while there was really nothing there but a boy who was naturally curious, and loved fire. The fire burned his thumb just ever so slightly, and he blew out the fire, letting go of the trigger. Fuck, he thought and winced, The one tender spot on my hand has to burn. Deep in the soul of the boy raged a large lion.
A lion fiercer than many could have ever hoped to have ever seen. To some, it would be a regret to see him.

Yuuki had had a momentary laps of maybe meeting this stranger before but not soon after her hand shake was over Yuuki noticed a person in the distance from the corner of her eye. She turned her head as soon as he burn himself. She slowly walked over out of couriosity.

Shadow sensed the man's presence before Yuuki reacted. Something about him seemed dodgy, but at the same time his hand did not react, so he was not a threat. He turns to the man.
"Can we help you?" he asks politely.

The teen looked at Shadow, but does not speak. His eyes watched Yuuki as she neared him, not tensing, but a gaze that changed from unfazed to pure wonder of why in the name of blood this girl was coming towards him. He just watched her, a bit in shock, but a bit in curiosity at the same time. What does a girl like her wish of me? he wondered and he absently rubbed his burn, making the pain ease.
Inside, he was curious, but his instinct wasn't something that he was known for... positively.

Yuuki looked at his burn and took his hand, with the burnt thumb on it. Out of habbit she put his thumb in her mouth to help stop the burning. She doesn't quite relize what the world is like and all of its wonders but her subconsios part of her brain tells her that the burn would hurt. The thought apeared in her mind and left as quickly as it came, "Achilles' heel." She didn't understand what it meant at the time, but maybe this mystery would come to light at a later time.

Shadow sees Yuuki attempting to heal the man's burn. As soon as she takes her hand away he quickly shoots dark ice at the burn. It heals immediately. Shadow grins.
"I happen to be a skilled Darkling," he says. "It's always best to know how to use an offense spell for something like healing. Saves supplies for when the magic doesn't cut it."

The male watched Yuuki with surprise and awe until shadow healed his would. He grunted and winced, his eyes going towards Shadow. That never could help one with fire, he thought and shook his now-worse burning hand. His body temperature raised on force, and he pushed it back down, causing the burn to sting instead of making him want to yell out. He turned to Yuuki and watched her. "Thanks," e said, his tone very quiet, much like one who had much respect for many, yet it seemed few gave him respect in return. The teen stood, pocketing his lighter and looking at Yuuki before turning to Shadow. He nodded his thanks, even if it had only increased the pain for him.
Something about this man, Shadow, made the teen more curious. Perhaps he knows Roxas. It seems well off that he does know a few people. In the least, Xana.
Ooc: This is for a reason. It's been written out already that any kind of ice will harm him, not help.

Yuuki smiled for the fact that she helped a person even though she might be a person needing help quiet soon. She was now in a world that she didnt understand. She was learning things that weren't being tought to her. They just came to her. Though there will be a few things that she may need to be tought.

Shadow seems to sense something. Somehow, he just knew, the man was connected to Roxas Foxx. This had happened to him many times, where he learned things about people without even so much as asking or being told out right. Best play it smooth, he decided. It would not do to have this guy suspecting Shadow of some crime he did not commit.
"Do you know the name Roxas Foxx?" he asked the man.
He would play it out as if he figured the man might've at least heard the name somewhere.

The man smiled and nodded to Shadow. "Yes, I do," he replied with a sly smirk. "Why, is there something bothering you with her? Last I saw, she's doing well. Siara and Hector aren't too much trouble, as they used to be. At least now they can watch out for themselves a bit more." The teen seemed to know much more than he let on. "Little Siara and Hector, her two children with Ashlyn Williams. They're quite the couple. Never thought she would ever fall for him, but things aren't always as they seem, am I right?" he asked with a knowing grin before a sound went off in his pocket. He took out a black cell phone and sighed. "I always forget to take the alarm off this," he commented to himself and turned off the alarm on the cell before placing it back into his pocket.
"I'm Alucard. Alucard BloodLust."
His eyes showed a much longer existence than he let on. Perhaps this was why he knew Roxas Foxx, or shall it be said, Lyte?

Shadow's eyes, besides the beast, showed the same look as Alucard's. He too, was older than he looked, though his body's age was genuine.
"Shadow Darkman, at your service," he says, bowing with a strange hand gesture that was assumed to be one of respect or at least of equality.

Alucard smiled and nodded, bowing himself to Shadow. His bow was a bit wolfish, as he moved his right foot behind him and bowed like a trained canine would before he stood tall again. "As I am at yours," he replied with a nod when Shadow spoke of his own service.
"Is there a reason you asked of Roxanne Lyte?" he asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

Shadow ignored Alucard calling her Lyte. Since the romance between the two ended, Ashlyn had been rather cold to him, always telling him that {Shadow} had lost her love because he had somehow mistreated her, yet not saying what {Shadow} had done to lose Roxas.
"Something about you seemed to tell me that you at least had heard the name somewhere," he said, after some consideration. "I guess there was more," he added with a grin.

Alucard chuckled and looked at the stars above. "Yes, well, time shows what we wish to know, and unveils things we never wanted to know." There was truth in these words, and Alucard himself knew of them. A howl reached his ears and he smiled, looking toward the factory. When he saw nothing his eyes went to the forest near Kadic nearby. "Siara?" he wondered quietly. The howl had been slightly squeaked, so it could have been her. "Hmm," Alucard said looking toward the forest, "She's still shy."
