Katsumi sat in silence as she heard the story of her recent life retold. The blank spots were filled in for her as she sat there, rocking slightly. She sighed, it seemed she would have no choice in the matter, but who knew she loved deceiving people... maybe it would be fun. Se shook her head, not if she was found out. She wouldn't be though, not possible. She wouldn't allow that to happen, because if it did it would most likely mean her death either way.
She looked up as the man finished speaking, her eyes watching the small group now. Properly outfitted and safe. Least while she was here.. seemed she'd be on her own with the blood suckers. Surprise surprise... she sighed lightly gathering her thoughts. She nodded slowly, "Fine then, but I request that I have a proper nights rest in order to be up to it." She said wanting to almost test their words. Her eyes wandered to each in turn wondering what they would think on the matter. She knew as well as they did that night would be the best time to catch the blood suckers in the act, but morning would bring the matter of more chances to slip into the ranks of them.
She rested her wings a bit more as the drooped down and adjusted the jacket over her front. All the while feeling the slight breeze from behind her. She'd have to make a plan, that and the matter of where... vampires were found all around the world. Was there one particular spot they had in mind?

"Of course you will have time to rest, we have to make sure your not deployed in a position where you might be associated with my troops. So it may be awhile before we can use you, I'd say you will have about..." Ikovi stopped thinking about what he was going to say, and then when he was finished estimating he proceeded "One or two months, around that time. In which I'm sure we have plenty of people who will be able to train you" finished Ikovi, wondering if the girl would consent to being trained by a human.
Unless she is already a spy. Not very likely but still...

Katsumi's mouth did drop open this time. She could understand the wait but training! So much for escaping this freely. She glared at Ikovi, "What do humans have to show me?" She asked in a displeased tone, perhaps she was mistaken and would learn a lot, but she wasn't really up for the matter. She looked down to her crossed arms, avoiding the nasty looks she knew she would receive for not agreeing to that one simple matter. She let out a sigh, maybe if she excelled enough from these humans she would be able to get out of it all together. Somehow she doubted that matter though.

Ikovi was about to reply, he had predicted this, but he was stopped before he could speak "I'm sure there are aplenty of things we could teach you, in fact, I belive that if Master Ikovi consents, he sould train you. You have studied in covert operations before, right sir" It was a sergeant, and one of his more ardent supporters.
"Well, yes I suppose I could set aside perhaps and hour a day to educate her, but I have little experience in the matter of actual spy work" said Ikovi hesitantly, looking first at the sergeant, and then to Katsumi...

Katsumi looked up at Ikovi, him? She relaxed a bit, well it would be better than someone she didn't know, plus he may have the upper hand of fending off his brother shall he try to attack her again. Though she was one to question that, if her safety was on the line and she was now on their side would he still attack? "An hour a day.. hmm.. well I suppose it's not that horrible then." She said after a bit of thinking it all over. "Though I ask for protection, i'm not weak by any chance, but shall that airhead attack me again will everyone watch? Or will anyone keep him away from me? Because if I have to sneka around here without being noticed by him I'm not much up for it." She said as the attitude was returning once again. She wasn't about to act like a princess shall she not recieve the treatments of one, though she did so often love to act spoiled.

Great, now I have to train a devil in my spare time... Oh well, can't complain, I get a free spy. "Yes, you will be on my manor for the time being, I think my wife won't mind caring for you in the meantime, and you needn't worry about my brother, he rarely returns home." said Ikovi with only a slight sigh, busy, busy...
"Anyway, we should be heading out." said Ikovi looking at his watch, no doubt my father will give me a barrateing about the fact that a demon is wearing my bloodstained uniform, but other than that I really want to get home...
"Yes, Ikovi we have orginized for helicopter transport..." said a soldier striding up to him...
"Very well" said Ikovi, wondering if the devil would prefer to fly, then he spotted a small tray on the ground "Ah yes" he said, picking it up "Care for a souvenir?" asked Ikovi offering her the tray of silver BBs.

Katsumi sighed, well at least it would be one less worry on the matter. She shrugged, she woulden't mind a bit of attention though. it almost sounded nice to her. After all of this running away she would finnaly have a permanant place to stay, even if just for a while. The only matter would be the search parties, shall the Lord wish her back that badly he'd stop at nothing to do so. She shivered, hopefully that wasn't the case.
She came back to when he said that they needed to get going, she nodded absentmindedly and looked to him. She knew the jacket was his, but he had given it to her to cover up, perhaps she could promise to get out the stain in the meantime to repay him. She switched the jacket around and clasped it in the front to cover up the damages. She let the sleaves hang to her sides, and her arms still clutched around her chest. She stood up and waited for him to make the first move.
Flying too, well now she supposed this would be interesting. Then he picked up the tray and she had to glare at him, "Still time to make jokes ehh? And you wonder why I hate the male population, more or less the humans." She shook her head and walked past him, pausing a bit off so not to make it look as if she was escaping. She was sick and tired of this business already.

Ikovi shruged, he had been serious, maybe keeping the shrapnel that had almost killed you was just that, a human thing "Well I am truly sorry, milady" he said, giving a mock bow as he left the cave.
It was a short while while the helicopter took it's time showing up, and when it did there was no place to land. A ladder was thrown through the canopy, and Ikovi was the first to grab hold of it, before it was offered to Katsumi.
"You plan to fly with us today. Might be a smooth a ride as what your used to but it's still fast" asked Ikovi as he started up the ladder, not caring very much in the area of her response.

Katsumi rolled her eyes as he passed her, humans. She thought and sighed as she followed him out of the cave. She looked around needing to sheild her eyes from the light. It was one thing for utter darkness for her, but the sunlight was strong. Unlike the vampires she didn't mind the sun, but it did eventually get to her.
She waited impatiently for the helicopter to arrive, but once it did she noticed that there wasn't anywhere for it to land. A split second later a rope ladder was thrown down and Ikovi started to climb. Looking back slightly as the ladder rested infront of her. She shook her head, "You've got to be kidding me." She said with distaste as she grabbed on and fel;t it yank beneath her. Her eyes grew a bit as she latched on to it, normally she would have just flown up to it, but due to her clothing matters she had no choice but to cling to it and make her way up slowly.
"Fast, heh." She scoffed, he had no idea what she was used to, he was sounding more or less like a stern father. She found then that this may be a bit more to get used to. She shrugged it off and continued to climb.

Ikovi climbed easily into the helicopter, he couldn't hear a thing though. It was a small helicopter, it ad a single gun mounted on the far side and a door on his, the central space was just big enough to fit three people in, one on the gun, one in the middle and one at the door. Ikovi climbed into the negligibly quieter cockpit of the helicopter and sat down in the empty co-pilot seat. He quickly put the headset that sat nearby, attached to the helicopter with a single wire.
Instantly most of the noise was blocked, leaving a audible but ignorable whoop-whoop in the background, Ikovi pulled the mike of the headset over his mouth "Morning. We've got civilian's on-board for today, take it slow"
A voice returned, you could tell it was from a radio, but it was easily understood, sounding over the relative silence of the headset "Gotcha, sir, slow an' stead"
If Ikovi hadn't had previous experience with pilots he wouldn't have known that it was the pilot speaking, because not only could he not hear where the voice was coming from because of the headset but the pilot never looked over, shifted, or even gave a sign that he had been talking. That was how you picked a good pilot out of a bunch, if they could have normal, unstrained, conversations without taking their eyes off the job.

Katsumi followed after him, looking up just as he climbed into the copter, she sighed. So much for a vacation. She thought as she reached the top of the ladder and looked around for something to help her up and in. She grabbed a bar that was to her right and one at her left. She scrambed in and frowned, well so much for grace. She thought as she looked around.
The sound was defining and even though it seemed steady she was still a bit shaky. She looked around again wondering where to go and what to do. No one ever gave her enough directions, and yet they wondered where all of my skills came from. She shook her head and moved around slowly needing to hold to the side for extra support. Where was Ikovi when you needed him?
Eventually she found the seat and sat down, looking around with wide eyes, wondering if there was something more she was forgetting. It was getting to the point where the sound was absoluetly defining and she couldn't even think straight. Wonderful way to go. She thought as she looked around for some kind of mufflers for the sound.

There was one other guard in the back of the helicopter, the one on the gun, Ikovi looked back and spoke into the mike "Help her settle in" he said before turning back to the front of the helicopter.
The guard heard Ikovi loud and clear, having his own headset himself and he watched at the girl found a seat, at his he got up and offered her the nylon straps that were attached to the floor, he too was wearing them. At this point their final escort entered, another guard, this one sporting a rifle, he quickly strapped himself in and keeled by the open sliding door, his long rifle held at the ready.
"Alright Katsumi, once your strapped in were moving" said Ikovi, loudly though so that she could hear him, and he handed her a spare headset the pilot had handed to him, still not looking up from his job.

Katsumi watched as a few guards came out of the shadows to help her out. One at the ready by the open door and the other by her side, or rather somewhat. She figured the straps out in a few tries and strapped herself in, she looked up upon hearing Ikovi's voice. She reached out to take the headset from his hands as he didn't even move as he did so. So skilled I see. She thought to herself as she lowered the headset onto her ears. Greatful when the sound was almost completely drowned out with the asset. Though she had to adjust them just a bit.
Finally she was settled in and looking around, curious to know what would happen shall someone wish to shoot at them. With the door being wide open and all. She had to admit she was sort of nervous, but she tried not to show it. It seemed she was in good company, nothing to worry about.

Ikovi turned forward "Alright, off we go, nice and slow" he said making a gesture propelled at the horizon, and the helicopter took off, the ground gliding beneath them.
"So Katsumi, do you have anyone you want to get in contact before you go under" said Ikovi happily in his casual voice.
Soldier gauged how bad the situation was by how the Commanding Officer acted, so as long as Ikovi was in public eye he would always a pear as cheery and content as Salanim, though Ikovi's was more of a friendly aura. Also Ikovi had that thing where he didn't try to kill everything that moved, that was a bonus.

Katsumi looked up at him, and shook her head, "Wish I did, but no." She said through the mouthpiece, "I'm clear to be toted around to who knows where." She said still looking up at him. She noticed the change in his attitude and wondered where it came from. She almost had to admit she liked it. She shook it off and looked back over at the door, wondering how far they were going to go.
