He frowned fully confused now, and tried to think of anything that he may have done. His jaw worked as he went over things he had done in the past few days, and as far as he could remember, nothing happened that could warrant the malice in her voice. But when she made the comment about the greasy help, his face hardened, and he smoothed back his hair slowly. "I may be just a 'Grease boy' Zak, but at least I can say w'at's on my mind. I don' like t'e way your acting, 'cause of two reasons; One, I 'ave no idea w'at's going on, and two...." he paused then shook his head. "Nope, I lied, one reason. I have no friggin clue w'at your talkin' 'bout." "But 'ere's an idea. I'll make you a deal." Turning to her car, he popped open the hood and glanced over at her. "You tell me w'at's going on, and I'll tell you about the last thing wrong with your car." He gestured to the engine that lay exposed. "Hows that?" He didn't smile playfully, or frown disdainfully, he simply looked at her with a lifted brow, wondering what her answer would be. He hoped she would take the deal, because he was so confused he really wasn't sure what he was gonna do to get her to tell him otherwise. This was a new situation, or at least the only one he could remember.

Zakura tilted her head with her mouth abit agaped .her tongue sliding along the roof of her mouth as he made the suggestionof a deal . she unfolded her hands and waved them on both sides . " hmmp fine im out of here. i can get a new car , i dont like being played jake .im no fool ' she began to walk away . her heals clanking rapid on the flooor then coming ot slow tap tap ..tap. she stopped lookingdown .."crap " she did need that car and she could just get another. and ..and he seems confused. really . confused. and still that feeling of something dark lurking around was gnawing at her . now it seems like th efeeling she got when hunting .. the eyes of the prey glaring at you . she took a deep breath in . her eyes dartin garound the place. she slowly turne dto jake expecting another to be standing there. ready to attack her . but no it was only jake still by the car calming looking her over as boy who had been blamed for something . " i am a fool " she cursed he rself walking back to him " you " she took a breath calming her self " you dont remember last nite. later that nite . with some blonde , laughing it up as though you do that thing all the tiem . beign crude i may say . it was you . i " she stuttered. he didnt see her right . " isaw you i was umm just walkingin when i saw you there. i left . i had never been to that place before and was just trying it when i saw you . being a lude rude nasty man . tell me you remember that dont lie to me " she pointed a finger to him . looking deep in his eyes. finding soemthing that sparked a memory in him . ______________________________________________________________________

Her turning away caused him to sigh and cross his arms. He was pretty sure that he wasn't going to get any answer easily. But she stopped and even turned around. He continued to look at her with a sad curiosity, trying to figure out what was going on, even if she walked out he would need to know. When she started talking, his lips turned to a frown. That wasn't right. He didn't even know any blondes, at least none under a senior citizen age. His muscles tensed when she called him lude, rude and nasty, but the pointing of her finger, made his head tilt, and a groan emit from his lips. "Okay for one t'ing, put t'at away." he nodded his head at her finger then continued. "And for anot'er, no I don' remember any blonde girl. Nor 'ave I ever done t'at all t'e time." he threw his hands up in the air, while Meli snickered softly to himself. This was exactly how he wanted it. Strife. Discord. Anger. That would keep them off balance, and that meant that they could crash with a small breath to push them off the edge. From the corner of Jakes mind Meli contemplated how he would watch the house of cards fall and tumble. "And w'at place are you talkin' 'bout? I told ya t'e resturants I go to, and besides t'at its t'e store-" he pointed in the direction of the store, "- or t'ere's a t'eater I go to. Like I told ya before, I ain't in'er'es'in." But the more he tried to think about what she was talking about, the more his head hurt. It was almost like he was being shoved away from the idea.

Zakura stared to him listening to what he said. her hand came slowly down to her side. She felt it again . a presence just out of reach tittering on her sences. the back of her hair stood on end.. she turned around looking about . it slowly deadened . when she turned to looke dback to jake .it heightened again . she folded her arms .. what was going on here. jake wasnt one of them . he is here in the lite. she put a hand to ehr head. then glared up to him . " do not play me . i have taken beter players than you down . jake . " she shook her head " sorry . i didnt mean that. you seriously dont remember.. i know what i saw. less you have a twin . " the thought struck her . perhaps he did . but that didnt explain how teh person could speak just like him . she stepped forward. " maybe you had to much todrink adn dont remember .sometimes people who dont drink much cant handle hard stuff and dont be themselve.s is that it maybe. " she wanted to believe him she did .but that gnawing feeling would not leave. and at the pit of ehr stomach . she felt maybe jake was one she would have to hunt if he played her . Zakura sighe d. waving her hand . " please just finish the car , i made my end of the deal here. i told you all i know . and well maybe we should just cut it for now till things cool over. ill ..ill.. see ya ..ok i ..i gotta go . " she walked out hurrying a grimace on her face . she hated this feelign about jake . she could see he told the truth but she couldnt let her gauard down not now. she got to work .working in fog. that night she didnt go to the bar. instead she went to the east side . shaking down some vvamp club . one particular she let live. for benenfits later of info .seh stepped in looking around three knew who she was adn ran to the back . the fourth . stayed at the tabel " ahh Zakura my love come sthit wit me darling " he siad with a slight bulgarian accent . " Yolkuv , the yeuck " she grined " you got something for me or do i have to bust this place down again " she sat glaring . " yesht, i hear dings many dings. like a nother who preythds on womens . but he is hard to find , he not hide from di lite . sat is all i know . now leaves my vclub . makding my custers nervous." he laid back grinning with a cigar. Zakura noded her head . and pulle dher gun . grabing his collar ' just cuz i let you live for now doesnt mean you are above any other your just another scum sucker got it . " she pushe dhim back andn left . shooting out the lites in the room with percision . she got to the roof of ehr building looking over the nite . " he hides in lite. how can that be " she tapped her gun to ehr chin . ponderingn this .

He shook his head. "I don't 'ave a twin, an' I don' drink enough for t'at to 'appen." he said quietly. But then she walked away before he could say anything, and he simply hung his head, rubbing his temples. Something was going on, and he couldn't even begin to understand it. When he heard the door close, he slammed the hood of her car down and stormed off, shoving his way past the door. He needed some time off anyway.
Jake sat down on the park bench, wearing jeans, a black t-shirt and a jean jacket. He just wanted some time to think, and this seemed like a nice quiet place. After a silent dinner, and a long walk, this was wear he had ended up. He took a deep breath and settled back against the wooden bench, and glanced around, looking up at the stars. If he could figure out what was going on, maybe he wouldn't ever have to do this again. But as he opened his mind to the idea of what was going on, Meli slipped in and pushed jake to the corner of his mind. Blue eyes filmed and muddied until they were a dark brown, and even his hair curled a bit more. Meli looked around and crossed his arms, frowning at his thoughts. This indeed was a problem. This wasn't the way he wanted it. Jake was starting to figure things out and piece things together; that was the worst thing that could happen. While Meli could never be banished, ever since he had been changed to a hunter of the night, Jake could wrest control and only let Meli out when he wanted if ever. It looked like Meli was going to have to do something drastic. But what could he do without actually revealing himself? Then again, from what she had said earlier, she had believed that he was Jake. Maybe that would work in his favor.
Jake woke up in his bed, feeling fuzzy. He remembered coming home from a bar after drinking too much. And he remembered that he couldn't come to a conclusion on the events he had supposedly forgotten. Grumbling, he went and got his breakfast then headed back to the shop.
When he arrived it was only Bob sitting in a chair, coffee cup in hand, untouched. "Bob, w'at's goin' on?" He smiled as he walked towards the locker room. "Mrs. Grear is in the hospital. Heart attack." Bob said without lifting his head. Jake stopped and turned back. "Aw man, 'ow's s'e doin'?" he started back towards Bob. It explained why it was so quiet today, but that hardly mattered compared to her health. "Better. Doc's want her to stay for a few days. Loni's staying with her till then. Wanted me to tell you that you can keep us open or close us for the next three days." He quirked a smile. "Guess I get to call you Boss for a while." he chuckled and stood up. "So what's the plan?" Jake sighed and held his hands in the air. "Just go 'ome. T'ere's not a lot to do today anyway." Bob nodded and got his things together to leave. "Thanks Jake, have fun today okay?" Jake nodded and watched him leave. He though about going home as well, but he knew he could have his car and two other cars fixed by the end of the day and then just close down the shop. Unless new work came in, he really didn't need to be here. He set about for his so far disappointing day.

Jake closed down the shop after the first day by leaving a 'Family Illness' sign on the door. He went home and spent almost two days watching cartoons and eating cereal. The only thing he hadn't counted on, was that Loni had put his phone number on the work answering machine. So at sunrise the third day, he got a phone call from an angry customer. "I want my car fixed now!" The man ranted and raved until Jake finally explained what was going on, and told him he'd have the car to him that evening. Grumbling and groaning, Jake headed to work and finished the car. Unfortunately, his wish of more work came pouring in, and he was the only one to answer the phone until noon when Bob showed up. Together they worked until 4 and then Bob left, leaving Jake on his own. He finished up two more cars, and finally with a groan he locked up and turned off all the lights. At least it was still sort of light out, and at least the rest of the week was going to be busy with work. Maybe it would be enough that he wouldn't think about Zak. The woman was clogging his mind. He locked up the back door and walked around the building. His boots crunched on the loose gravel that Loni insisted on having on the rest of the property, not that anyone understood that. He happened to glance down the building to make sure the light was off, when he saw Zak standing there. "W'a....?" he whispered. With a hesitant step forward, he tucked his hands into his pockets and tilted his head slightly before he spoke. "W'at you doin' 'ere lass." he asked softly as he walked towards her.

Zakura slowly took her finger off the dagger inside her army like pants. ties down at the bottom. her boots shoveled . the ground as she turned . abruptly " oh nothing just thought i may have forgot something .. i ..' she stared up to him . as her head was down . heart pounded in her ears . as she stepped forward.
she cocked her head with a slight nervous curve toher lips. " i .. im sorry . i should of aske dyou first before giong off like that. its just things have gettijng crazy lately and i could of swore i saw you . " sheput a hand to her head looking to him from the side. smiling . a very cute and innocent look .
she stepped forward . not able to resist it . but pushe dbacked a peice of of his hair. looking inot his eyes. eyes .. eyes she knew. and she would stare down any opponent to know if he lied or what move they had next. thru the eyes.
And jakes showed pure confusion and remorse and simply innocence of the human nature can be. she retracted her hand adn grinned small . 'well .i am sorry for the things i said . i am not a snobby women i am not . i care not were you work ., and how greasy you can get'
with that she wiped a smudge off his cheek. seh sighed as seh stepped back . tilting herhead, " forgive me '
seh hated what she was doing. being so weak by a man . that she gave him the benefit of the doubt. but something in the way he looked at her made her feel ..better.
but deep down the hunter in her couldnt let it go . she wanted ansers . and for some reason . Jake was in stuck in the middle of those .

He stopped and glanced down at her as she apologized. The tilt of her head, and the innocent look on her face, caused a flicker of indecision to cross his face. That look made him feel like he was being toyed with, it was just something he was used to, but when she brushed back a lock of his hair, the thoughts vanished from his mind. He returned the look she gave him, and watched her eyes. She was honest in the forgiveness at least, but something else clouded her mind. "I forgive ya for t'e names ya called me, and for jumpin' to conclusions. But t'e w'ole not trustin' me, well." he shrugged slightly and took his hands out of his pockets. He traced one finger down her cheek to her jaw, then tipped her chin up to look at him. "T'at's gonna take time." He gave her a small smile, then leaned in and kissed her lips. It was only brief, and then he leaned back and took a step away from her. "Your car'll be ready tomorrow Miss Zak. I hope I see ya then." He nodded and gave a slight wave before he turned and started up the street. While he wanted to go back and do more, say more. He knew something was still wrong between them, and it bothered him that he couldn't remember what happened between night and day.

Zakura lingered aftered after he kissed her . her body shivered with that one simple kiss. she stared down as he told her trust , would taek time . she nodded with animosity . she lifted up her eyes watching him go . Zak was in her apartment. getting ready for the nite . later on. she fingered the book she got from the book store. the page of the talisman . opened up . and the transportation spells and emblems shown how one could hide with them . Zak placed her gun in her back jeans. black ones to be exact. carpender pants she wore. various weapons hidden in the pockets. she was going hunting for more bigger game . the hell with lower forms tonite. she wanted the big one that most feared and eluded her . she had read somethimes a ite creature or unworldly one . could be trapped within an object. or living thing. trapping the spirit. or at least controlijng it as well. Zak looked down to it . a grimace on her face as she slid her shirt of cotton midnite color. Zak . grabbed the object seh found she needed adn placedit in her black jacket pocket. zippingit up . on the side. "hm tiem for a real a hunt. it seems " she got to the roof and closed her eyes. feeling the vamps down by the west end. seh headed out that way lurking in the dark alleys. and under to a railing. . watching waiting . to feel that feeling againm . of the one who taunted her .

Meli sat staring at the tv. Tonight he had decided to stay inside, especially since he would need to feed within the next two nights or it would start to show on Jake. Sighing, he threw one of Jakes couch pillows across the room. And while most people thought fancy square pillows that matched the fabric of the sofa were couch pillows....well, not Jake. Jake had three bed pillows, without covers, scattered on top of the cushions. Meli grunted and lazily watched another episode of I Love Lucy. The things a person could watch at two in the morning.
Jake woke up to look at a blinking clock. He cleared his eyes and double looked. "Oh crap!" he leapt up from the bed and started running around getting ready. He leapt into the shower, cutting it down to five minutes, then dressed and dashed out the door. He got to work twenty minutes late, and had to listen to a lecture from Loni. The man was still worried about his mother, and so had been a bigger hard-ass than usual. Jake waved him off and went to work, ignoring the mans looks. Today wasn't starting off well. Sighing softly, he started working on the new car that had come in.

Zakura lurked in the nite for a very long time. around 5 that morning she headed back home. disappointed. but the time she spent in the dark and wiating on game . had given her more time to think about jake . Perhaps she was jumping to hard to conclusions. or maybe shewas jumping the gun . they barely knew each other. and yet she felt possessive towards him. she opened the door to her apartment and thru the keys on the table. she placed ahand to her head. wondering why she flet so close tohim yet they were strangers. she got undress and showered. she didnt have to go to work today . the boss was vacation and marge was able to do the books . Zak went to bed with a big sigh. so exhausted. Later that day she awoke around 4pm. she ate some cereal and made some calls. she fidgeted now . nothing to do . no one to talk to . she dressed in a pair of tan slacks and light blue tank top with a flower pattern on it. and a pair of tennis shoes. she left her hair down . walking down the street biting her lower lip. her heart racing in her chest. she stopped and decided to go back .then cursed her self and walked on . the sun was bright. her skin was reddening . " hmm dang im closer to the shop than i am to my apartment now..i figures it would start now. " she rolled her eyes. the pain seepijng in a bit . she was heading to another location. but now the shop was closer for her to duck into . and perhaps get some help . if there was any available. Zak walked quickly her shoes scufflijng the rocks underneath .she then slipped in the door of jakes shop . rather quickly . closing the door fast. . her skin was red . and some places just a few had blisters. she touched her arm and looked up with sorrowful eyes. to whom may be in . afraid to call out. for fear others wouldnt understand and ask questions. she hated to rely on jake like this . but he had accepted her like this once before. Zak breathed heavily . slowly walking forward to see if jake was in .

All the car had really needed was a fluid change, and Jake had accomplished that by noon. He fixed two more cars, and threw his wrench at the third car's hood. Nope not a good day. With a hammer capped with rubber, and a block under the hood, he pounded out the dent on the hood that he had caused. Muttering incessantly about just how bad he thought his day was. His bench was close to the back of the shop and next to the locker room. Leaving him alone him that he didn't care who heard his mutters. Meli lay in the private corner of Jakes mind, and watched with mild amusement. Jake barely noticed anyone enter let alone anything else, but it was Bob who tapped his shoulder and nodded his head towards the door. Jake clenched and unclenched his fist as he tried to get rid of anger, but when he looked over and saw it was Zak and the condition she was in, it went away anyway. "W'at t'e 'ell 'appened!?" He asked as he dropped his hammer. Dozens of scenarios ran through his head, but he shook them off and walked over to her. "Come in 'ere." He moved as if to help her into the locker room, but then hesitated, unsure if it would cause her any pain or not. Inside the locker room was plain, with only a wall of lockers with a bench in front of them, and between the sink and lockers. Then it had to stalls for the bathroom, but his intent was the first aid kit on that fourth wall.

" youthink im crazy dont you ..i have said to much " she beganto stand .only to wince in pain. she sat back down slowly . watchinghim..that feeling of someone watching them taunting her in her mind. shesmiled weakly trying to brush it off.
