Astareal sighed. She could tell that she was in for it. This was probably not going to be fun, and she was going to get annoyed. Now was probably the time to try and get in touch with her patience that she had in her somewhere. It would probably refuse to work with Akuma, but... "That kiss didn't occur. It wasn't even a kiss, just a gesture of thanks. Nothing to be proud of." The woman raised an eyebrow, seeing where the brat was looking. Sometimes he reminded her of a child... but even a child couldn't be that dumb. She shook her head.
When he reached out to touch her, she grabbed his finger. "Yeah, because they just have a mind of their own. Looking's free, but touching is gunna cost you. And by that, I don't mean money." Astareal got an evil little glimmer in her eye, and that little glimmer was accompanied by a harsh little smirk. "Now then, keep your hands to yourself. You don't see me reaching out and poking you everywhere I please, now do you?" Astareal said this, and then figured that he would just love it if she did.

Akuma grinned wickedly. "Just the sort of thing i would expect from you. I do love your feisty personality. Actually i wouldn't mind at all if you decided to touch me." The demon chuckled at the though. "so then what is the price for touching you?" Somehow he figured the answer would be something painful but it was worth a try. It wasn't like he had anything better to do then to harass the girl a little.
(( any ideas to make the thread more exciting? they should do something together...i'm not sure what though))

Astareal shook her head. "I think you'd rather not know." A small grin appeared on her pale face, one that brought one side of her mouth up higher than the other. Still shaking her head, she looked at the demon for a moment. "Since I'm bored out of my mind and I do rather love causing you pain, I think that we should go downstairs and check out the place where I keep my dead bodies." This, of course, was not true. Downstairs was a small wine cellar and a room that she rarely went into. That room was rather large with no furnishings except for a stone table and a metal chair over in one corner. That room was the little place Yrael had thought up, the room in which to keep 'prisoners'. It hadn't really been used, and it didn't work very well. Her basement was creepy, even to her.
Standing up, Astareal looked to her still sleeping servant. It would be easier just to send him down there, but he was asleep. She didn't want to wake him up, either. He was evil when he was grumpy, and he was grumpy when he was woke up. "Are you coming? I'm sure you're just exaggerating your pain. I mean, a tough guy like you should be able to just push that aside like it's nothing." Astareal smiled again, her eyes rather blank and unreadable. Nothing but her mouth was revealing happiness. She wanted to see how he would do, what he would do, with this situation. She didn't think he would just sit there, after all. It just didn't seem like him.

"I see you feel like being cruel." The demon replied to her comments about him exaggerating his pain. He smiled in spite of himself he was to curious for his own good. Of course he was going to with her, he wanted to see what was down there. Anything sounded better then sitting here being bored. Sure he would probably regret it later but it would be worth the fun he was going to have. "Alright i'll come with you but...........can you help me up first?" Akuma asked slightly embarrassed

Astareal smiled even bigger. "Don't be silly. I'm not cruel." The woman wanted to laugh. When he asked her to help him up she let a giggle pass, but that was only because she couldn't hold it back any longer. "I knew you were exaggerating!" Shaking her head lightly, she took a step toward Akuma and offered her hand. Hopefully he would get a shock as to how abnormally cold it was. That would be fun to watch. The Necromancer, after helping him up, turned and walked over near the fire place. Sliding a rug over, she yanked the string to a small trap door looking thing. The door creaked open and cold air floated up from the depths of the basement.
"Watch your step. The stairs are a bit... weak in places. If one breaks, which I hope it doesn't, you could break something." Astareal tested the first step, and then planted both of her feet on it. If the stairs broke under anyone, it would likely be her. That would probably be better, anyways. Didn't want the already injured one injured even further, now did she?

"Yes you are." Akuma said pouting when she laughed at him. After getting up he walked over to the Necromancer. Just great that the basement was freezing cold, his body temperature was just getting back to normal. He shook his head at her comment about falling through the stairs. "Lovily...any more good news? A fire breathing undead dragon perhaps?" The demon remarked sarcastically. He slowly followed her lead not particularly liking the idea of breaking something.

Astareal laughed. "That would be interesting, wouldn't it? A fire breathing undead dragon. Nothing, really. Just a really cold basement that is extremely dark and makes weird noises." Astareal grinned, even though it probably wasn't visible in the light. Stepping off the last stair, she looked around. Turning to her left, she waked into the wine cellar and plucked a bottle off the shelf. Turning back around, she pointed over toward the tall barred door. "That's where the dead bodies are. I figured that you wouldn't want to go in there, anyways. Unless you're really brave. Once you go in, you don't come out. Unless... I'm not going to go into detail on such a depressing subject. The newest one in there is five years old, anyways. That and, since you're so afraid of my pupils, you probably wouldn't want to go in there an see a skeleton anyways." The woman shrugged. It was time to go back up the stairs. She had really just wanted to bring him down here to see how he would fare. A nice little test. Perhaps, for once, something that was alive would manage to be worth her time.

Akuma laughed at her remark. "Just because i don't want to waste my time with boring and disgusting undead things does not mean i'm a coward." He said. He raised his eyes and groaned when he saw that she was going back up the stars. "You have got to be kidding me?! You dragged me down here just to see nothing and now were going to go all the way back up." That women was really adding insult to injury now. He sighed "i think i'll just sleep here to night, there is no way i'm going back up all those stairs."

Astareal shook her head. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you the basement. And you're not staying down here, you'll freeze to death, moron. I'll drag you up if I have to." Astareal stared at the demon for a moment, before trudging back up the stairs, depositing the bottle of wine on the table, and going back down. "I'm only carrying you if I have to. You've got enough strength to go back up there. That and..." She grinned, tempted to go into death and bring back a hand. That might encourage him to get up there a little more willingly. A bit quicker, too. Then she realized that she had already put her bells up for the night. Dang it all, anyways. Patting Akuma's back, she gave a quick smile. "I believe in you." She nodded and gave him a slight push, waiting for him to do something.

Akuma rolled his eyes. "why do i have to let pretty faces like you talk me in to stupid things." He said sighing. Since she was insisting on it and because he didn't want to freeze the demon hesitantly trudged back up the steps. "thanks so much for the encuragement......if anyone could even call it that." Finally after what seemed like hours they were back up on the top. The women was lucky he was so tired. Someday he would pay her back for all this hassle she put him through. How did he end up in these crazy situations anyway?

Once reaching the top, Astareal started clapping. "Look at that! You're so tough! I just might be able to use you around here." Slamming the door to the basement, she shook her head quietly. That was fun while it lasted. "What would you like with your wine, Akuma?" The woman grinned and sashayed over to the table, taking two glasses out of the cupboard and filling them both halfway to the top. Taking one over to Akuma, she handed it to him and then took a sip of her own. Perfect. It was nice to have a little house like this. She was beginning to feel hungry, which was why she brought up the 'what would you like' thing. It would be nice to have some wine and a snack before she decided to go to bed for the night. She figured that tonight Akuma would probably decide to sleep on the couch. Probably exhausted from trudging up those stairs.

Akuma rolled his eyes. "That will do. i'm not a child. " He said. He watched her get some wine and took some when she brought it over. He smirked mischievously. "Since you asked...i would actually like you with it. " He let that comment hang in the air before sighing and adding. "But if not then i don't really want anything thanks." After a few minutes passed he looked at her curiously. "so why does someone as pretty and talented like you not have a man in her life?"

Astareal shrugged. The smile on her face disappeared when he made the comment about having her with his wine. "Sorry, we've been out of 'You' for a few years now." The woman smiled slightly, glaring at the demon. At least she was trying not to smack him. That was probably going to get her somewhere. Although, she had to admit, she liked his persistance. When he brought up the question about a man, she looked at the ground for a moment. Thinking it over, she decided to answer as honestly as possible. "I had one. Once. But, he was alive. He died on me. Ever since then, I've decided that I'm never going to let any other living thing into my life. Unless I'm going to die first." Astareal took another sip and then swirled the wine around in her cup. Humans were... useless.
Wandering over to her cupboard, she pulled out a small bag of freshly made crackers. Yrael had been into town lately. Either that or he'd robbed a baker. Pulling a white little thing out of the bag, she popped it into her mouth. With a satisfying crunch, she felt they were fit to eat. So she continued to eat them. They were actually pretty good with the wine. The perfect blend.

"I see" The demon said sipping his wine. The wine was actually pretty good. "You know since i'm a demon chances are i'll be around for a long time." He said after a while grinning. He had to wonder what kind of person fell in love with her and she returned the feelings for. Emotions around love were so complicated and annoying. That's one thing they could never teach in school no matter what, that and parenting. Honestly he wasn't sure why he was so interested in the women. So far she was just another girl who happened to have an attitude he admired. And yet he was spending all this time with her....Perhaps he injured himself more seriously then he thought if his feelings and thoughts were this messed up.

Astareal smiled lightly, showing her teeth this time. "I don't want anyone to feel the way I did when he died. It's not pleasant, and I've only got another 400 years to go." The woman smirked, thinking about her life span. Perhaps Yrael would figure out a way to make her live longer. That would be nice. Life was just a bit too fragile for her liking. Looking at the sleeping cat, she was tempted to kick him. That would be a bit... cruel... but it would be rather enjoyable. "Do you like the wine? I've been saving it or a special occasion. I guess you count as a special occasion, considering how you scaled the mountain with a wound like that. I rarely have guests." Astareal smirked, remembering some of her past guests. Those were the days.

"Oh, only 400. Wow that stinks...but perhaps by that time you'll find a way to live longer." Akuma commented. He hadn't really paid much attention to his lifetime. After all he was only 80. By demon standards he was still technically a kid...a strange though. "Yes the wine is good." He said laughing at her remark about him. "Hey if every mountain had someone like you up top, i would climb them all." He looked at the cat sleeping away. In a way he kind of envied the cat. He really didn't have to think or worry about anything. His life was simple: just do as your told. Though admittedly that life style would not suit him at all.
