Summary; Affected by the curse, a vampire wants to play.
Log;

The 24 hour night of a growing full moon had whipped the the sea surrounding the City into a frenzy. Even this far inland you could hear the waves crashing off in the distance, smell their salt.

Jan flicked out his long tongue, briefly tasting the air. Was just as salty as it smelled. But nowhere near strong enough to cover over the scent of blood. Earlier, in a fit of wild glee, he ripped into a few Tunnel monsters. Their blood (and some of his) got all over the front of his tshirt and jeans (any on the skin had been licked-off). Everything dried, the black coloring of the clothing hiding the stains from view. The smell of the slaughter however stuck.

Shivered, not from cold, but anticipation. The monsters, fun as they were, just an openin act. Pulled the leather jacket tighter around him, plenty warm enough....too fuckin warm actually. But he couldn't loose the jacket, enjoyed the heat and sweat it help cause. Got off feelin the animal deep inside clawin it's way to the top, makin him burn.

The dark-skinned vampire began pacing, growling softly. Yellow eyes, with a growing feral cast to them, looked over the area. The small park near the laboratory was mostly a large grassy lawn dotted with a few big trees. The lab dark and silent, no one else around nobody to fuckin interupt the fun.

Paused by one of the trees, raking its trunk with pointed nails. Heart pounding so fuckin hard, shit it felt like it was gonna bust thru his ribs.

With a feline snarl of want and frustration, he resumed pacing.

Haineko was already on her way when Rangiku slipped out of the door and into the trees. With all the beasts and monsters roaming around the city, she knew it'd be an easier way to get to who she was after. To the normal eye, she was a dark robed blur, but she was moving much slower than she could go. Truth be told, she wasn't at her peak since she'd just awakened from her drunken stupor a few minutes prior. She was still quite tired, but her body had grown restless when she'd read Jan's challenge. She wasn't afraid of him, so she made the decision to go.

Hanatarou had done his usual excellent job at healing her up, even going so far as to give her something to help her steady her energy while she was looking for Jan. The streets below and beside her were slick with blood and the sight didn't make her happy. In a way, she wished she'd stayed unconscious, but she had a feeling she was needed.

Without thought, she followed her soulpartner's lead, eyes scanning around for signs of Jan.

The moment she spotted a familiar grey shape on the ground, she dropped from the trees to land beside the large ashy spiritcat.

"Jan."

Sensing someone coming, the vampire melted into the shadows dark-skin and clothing blending in perfectly. Out of the moonlight his eyes and piercings gave away no tellatale gleam.

Watched in frozen silence as a big cat came into view. Large paws making no sound in the grass, the animal moved in careful search. Ears twitched about to catch the tiniest of noise. Head swung low, slowly back and forth. Eyes searched for the slightest movement, nose for any useful scents.

The stench of blood gave him away. The cat stopped in place, looking right at where the vampire hid.

Sounds rattled the tree branches, as a woman came down next to the cat. Now two of them were looking right at his hiding place!!

Body burning as with fever, fangs coming fully unsheathed. Hearing his name called, replied with a low throaty growl.

Ran merely smiled at the growl, shaking her head at Haineko's silent inquiry. The cat padded a bit closer to Jan then took the none too smart chance to rub against him with a loud purr. After a quick glance of wintery blue eyes up at him, she faded out to the ash her name implied and reformed in her saya.

Rangiku wasn't wanting to have to draw her on Jan, but she would if she had to. Instead, she spread her arms wide and waited for him to make the first move.

"Come on, then. You have a clear advantage here. Use it while you can."

Didn't move, the gaze at the woman before him never wavered during the cat's greeting or disappearance.

Didn't respond to the challenge, stayed within the shadows, watching....waiting.

Blue eyes flickered around the clearing she was in. Satisfied that they were well and truly alone, she did nothing more than slowly start walking closer to him.

Mouth elongated to accommodate the full length of his fangs, Jan smiled. The full tooth showing grin made him look like a demonic Cheshire cat.

With inhuman speed, shot out of the shadows.

She called on her own speed to move away from him, ending up several feet to one side of him. Another few shunpyo'd steps brought her behind him, barely out arm's reach.

A slow smile curled over her lips as the blood started heating up under her skin. This wasn't like the fights she was ordinarily in. Those usually ended up being deady serious, but this one...

This one was one where she could let go and not be too worried about hurting someone.

Her reiatsu flared, casting a electric blue light around her form for a brief moment. Haineko surged back out of her saya to reform at the edge of the clearing, content, for now, to just watch.

"Try again, Jan. You won't be able to catch me so easy."

A hiss in reply with no slowing in speed, he pivoted sharply on heel. The momentum sent the vampire flying right into her.

Ran went down under him in a flurry of limbs, her speed still a little off due to her hangover. She was already down, so all she could do was to make sure she didn't end up hurt. She forced one arm between them, and pushed up, hoping to dislodge him.

"FUCK. Jan... get off!"

Another hiss in reply followed by a flash of fang as they rolled. Grabbed at her arm, the contact of flesh to flesh shot-up his temperature even higher.

No fuckin way was he lettin go!!

Gritting her own teeth, she snapped out her free hand, catching him under his chin. She'd held back some, not sure of how much of a hit he could take from her if she used more of her normal strength.

Skin burned, not like when he died the first time. No smell of burnin meat, but of something 'alive'. A wildfire, scorching everyfuckinthing in its path, makin the air hot and smokey.

Sudden blow made the animal inside howl and his blood sing.

Free hand made a go for the one that struck him while the body worked to pin the other down.

Haineko padded closer to them, concerned that her mistress hadn't climbed to her feet yet. Growling softly, she circled the forms grappling on the ground.

Ran moved her hand out of his way, only to feel his body come down to cover hers. Instinct took over then.

With a growl to match Haineko's, she shoved against Jan as hard as she could, then rolled out from under him, coming to her feet in a low crouch.

In mid-roll Jan caught the ground with a hand, fingers ripping-up a chunk of grass.

Came to a stop on all fours, facing in her direction. With a silent snarl, rose-up just enough to have his hands free. Hunkered-over and yellow eyes shinning bright, looked as if he was transforming into a panther.

Froze in place, muscles tighting-up for release.

She watched him closely, eyes not straying from him as she stood, waiting. Haineko shuffled closer to him, diverting her attention for a moment.

Aware of the cat, Jan watched her with his senses. Eyes he kept on the woman, watching for the right moment.

Caught the brief lapse of attention.

Muscles released with inhuman strength, he sprang closing the gap between them.

She looked back to see him moving to engage her. A flash of a thought crossed her mind in an instant, so she lowered her arms and pulled up her low stance, merely stepping to the side of his rush.

Another pivot on heel but this time not so sharp to cause another body roll. Slammed into her right side, hands fisting on either side into the robes. pointed nails cutting into the material.

Swung his head and mouth clamped down on her shoulder, but fangs caught only cloth instead of flesh. Snarled in frustration, shredding and ripping while trying to work his teeth free for another go.

With a grunt, her arm reached up to force his teeth away from her shoulder. It was too close for comfort in her opinion. Her hand settled on his cheek and carefully pushed his mouth back and away. When she'd moved him a little further back, the torn material fell free, baring her shoulder and arm fully, showing a couple of shallow grazes from his struggles.

She kept pushing on his cheek, keeping the teeth away from her.

Let his head get pushed back as far as it would go, burning under her touch. Body taunt, hands still holding on.

Vision swam from the heat, the woman before him rippling like a mirage. Felt sweat turn to steam on his skin, tasted her in the ripped pieced of material clenched between his teeth.

Low growl....

A strong leg flashed out, catching his and sending him down. She went down with him, one hand tangled in her robes to keep herself decent, the other moving away from his cheek. Instead, she shoved her forearm against his jaw, thinking it would keep his teeth out of the way.

She looked up at Haineko, issuing a silent request that she keep anyone in the area away from them. With a nod, the cat bound off, leaving them to their match.

Too focused on the woman, he didn't feel the the hard thud running thru his body when it met the ground.

Her on top forcing his head back exposing the throat, something inside clicked a spark.

Surge of new heat, the animal came out in a rush of fire to fight for dominance.

Ran gritted her teeth and pushed back as he tried to surge up against her. Her own power was fluctuating at times, due to her overindulgence the night before, but she tried to use more brute strength than finesse, since the latter was almost impossible at this point.

"Goddamnit, Jan... wake the fuck up," hissed out between her teeth as she gave his head a jar back against the ground.

Her strength flared at that moment, but it didn't last. Out of nowhere, it waned off, leaving Ran's arm shaking enough that she knew she wouldn't be able to hold him down for much longer.

She rolled off as quickly as she could, hoping it would be enough to keep her away from him while she regrouped.

"Shit Ran I am fuckin awake," Jan laughed rolling onto his stomach, "Just never seen me in full fuckin vamp fight mode before."

Slowly brought limbs to coil under his body. He felt like he was burnin bright same as the tiger in that forest....nah, way fuckin brighter than the tiger.

Watched her, yellow eyes glowing. No more playin, the fight was fuckin ON!!

"Tame me??!!" The vampire muttered thru a growl and sprang.

She was surprised by his sudden clarity. Surprised enough to end up being grabbed by him.

"Fuck, Jan! I never said anything 'bout taming you!"

With a growl of her own, she struggled to free an arm and gain some leverage. Her own power wasn't cooperating, which is something she was afraid would happen.
