[Lurking in the shadows of Cross Academy, pacing as he waits for Zero so the night's work can begin.

He desperately wants more tablets but he has to space them out...he has to have control. He's nothing without it. But the hunger is so strong tonight...the bloodlust sings through his veins.]

Come on, come on...

This town was built in an era before urban planning.

[hunting]

You are seriously ridiculous, you know that?

[bigbroiswatching]

You can only say that because you've never had to park in this town.

[hunting]

[ Snorts ]

Just drive the car.

[bigbroiswatching]

Yeees, master.

[The drive doesn't take too long, and luckily for them the streets are empty tonight. Kaito parks in a shadowed alleyway that's two blocks away from their target's favorite haunt.]

[hunting]

See, that wasn't so bad.

[ Sliding out of the car, senses immediately going into alert, as he tries to determine whether their prey has been adventurous tonight. He also can't help but let his gaze slide back to Kaitou once or twice, evaluating his condition. It was instinctual more than anything, he being a Hunter and Kaitou being... well, more than just that. ]

[bigbroiswatching]

I did say it might not be so bad since it's so late.

[Kaitou's movements are quick, precise, and controlled as he slides out of the car and locks the doors. Still, they can't hide the brief flash of red in his gaze as his eyes fix on the bar of their target's choice, nor the way every line of his body is longing to start the chase.

But he stays where he is.]

[hunting]

[ He turns away once he realizes that he's staring, not wanting to look like he's questioning Kaitou's status. ]

We'll find him soon enough.

[ And with that, he starts making his way to the rogue vampire's favorite haunt, senses now focused entirely on separating Kaitou's vampiric aura from any others around them. It should be fine once Kaitou gets his kill. That usually manages to sate... him for a while.]

[bigbroiswatching]

[And they do have three kills to get through tonight. Kaitou's on full alert as they approach the bar, already running through strategies and outcomes.

One thing's for certain. Like this, with the hunt thrumming in his limbs, he can't be trusted in a crowd of drunk humans. Of prey.]

I'll circle around back.

[hunting]

[ Zero doesn't question the comment. It's rare that Kaitou spends much time around anyone but other Hunters when he's having one of his... touchier days. He just nods and heads inside to do his own recon. ]

I'll see if I can't flush him out.

[bigbroiswatching]

[Kaitou nods shortly.]

And I'll keep an ear out for trouble.

[He veers away from Zero, heading for the dark alleyway behind the bar's squat brick building.]

[hunting]

[ Time to go see if he can clear out a misplaced vampire. At least this part, he never has any problems with. Keeping vampires as far away from humans as possible is a necessary task. He can even convince himself, for the time being, that that's all this is: crowd control. That he's not herding something that was once human (like Kaitou) to the slaughter. ]

[bigbroiswatching]

[Out in the alleyway behind the bar, Kaito keeps a restless watch. Every one of his souped-up senses strains to hear the slightest sound out of place. He trusts Zero to do his part; he has to do his.

But he's so hungry. He almost hopes the vampire will be stupid enough to flee. Then the kill will be his, and maybe he can sate this need while sparing Zero the shot.]

[hunting]

[ Kaitou's not be disappointed this night, as the vampire bursts from the club, both panicked and furious, with Zero fast on his trail.

Zero had hoped that vampire would be less obvious once he noticed him, but the frantic way the vampire had forced aside other patrons and any impeding furniture quickly spurned that hope. It had been good timing too since that vampire had already been in the process of chatting up one of the younger patrons and making side-glances toward the door for a more "private" discussion. Fortunately for her and less fortunately for Zero, Zero's reputation well preceded him and his quarry knew who he was the second their eyes met across the barroom. He can only imagine what everyone else thought to see a grown man racing from a schoolboy. Zero didn't even bother with excuses. If there was a problem, the association could deal with it once they brought down their target.]

[bigbroiswatching]

[Kaito's on their target the moment he bursts out the front door. He leaps for him with a guttural growl, eyes scarlet, weapon forgotten. The target tries to dodge and fight Kaito off, without success.]

[hunting]

[ Zero has his gun drawn, as he charges through the door a moment later, but with Kaitou and the rogue vampire in a fierce struggle, he can't risk taking any shots. Even as he curses under his breath at the realization that Kaitou is fighting at a vampire instead of a Hunter again. ]
