Zakura nibbled on the salsa and chips provided. she loved them . if anything when she had been turned . finding salsa chips would saitisfy . she licked her lips then took sip. a sighe escaping from the depths of her tthroat. " well perhaps your right for now they will do . till we get soem more ansers. " she folded her arms peircing her lips. she looked to him sideways. " oh and i told you . jake. " she said with a slight hiss. her body leaning forward. " im not going anywhere. " she grinned relaxing for the moment right now. she looked around at how normal people laughed adn be merry . how odd how human or normal beings could act this way . half probablay had major problems but this moments or these moments seemed far and few right now . for her and jake. zakura smile dto him " this is interesting though . im mean loook at it this way . well i have been thinking he needs you . more than you need him. but im curious did you ever feel like you had a part missing now it may be filled knowing this. hmm " she tilted her head curius to him . ' and also .why does he wnat you to know so much about you and him. like well like brothers. than some evill bloodthirsty animal. right. " she looked to him with interest no judgement no malice for now. all other things pushed back from her mind. she was tryin g to figure out or justifie her actions by knowledge. _________________________________________________________-

She raised good points. Very good points really. He rubbed his chin as he turned the words over in his mind, thinking about that. As he thought about Meli he heard that whisper on the edge of his consciousness again. Mentally he tried to brush it away, but the more he paid attention to it, the noisier it became. Then, something clicked even as he looked away, towards the windows. 'ello Jake. Jake turned his head sharply around, searching for the voice. When he saw no one talking, he glanced at Zak with a frown, and took a sip of his drink to calm his nerves. I'm glad to see that you've been thinking about me. Again Jake looked around with a frown, searching the for the voice. Don't bother looking. They can't see me. They can't hear me either. Jake coughed and looked apologetically at Zak, displaying open hands in show of innocence. "I'll be right back. Somet'ings goin' on t'at I dun get right now." He got up to go to the bathroom, the voice silent. After the door swung shut the voice started speaking rapidly and quietly. She's right you know. I don't want to hurt you, I want to help you. Why wouldn't I? I am You after all. I'm simply better. I can show you things unlike any other Jake. I can give you the world. She understands what I'm talking about. Her and I aren't that different. I think that's why she wants you Jakey boy, she knows that inside of you, you understand the carnal hunger she feels shivering up her spine. Shes a hunter, you could be too, and we could both benefit from that. Face it Jake. I have to feed. I'm not sure but when I don't feed, I'm in control twenty-four hours a day until I do. I've tried this, so I know. Sometime your going to half to work with me Jake. The sooner the better. As for that girl.....I don't know about her Jake. I think shes going hurt us. I don't mean Heart break either jake, I think shes thinking something a whole lot worse. Jake hung his head as he splashed water on his face, letting the voice ramble on about the benefits of certain things. With a snarl, Jake shut the voice up and left the washroom, smoothing back his hair. He sat back down across from Zak, smiling as best he could. "Sorry 'bou t'at. I agree wit' ya t'ough. 'e doesn't want to 'urt me, but no, I don't feel like part of me was missin'. I feel like t'ere's somet'ing new inside of me." he sighed. He wished it felt like part of him had been missing. But after hearing the voice, whatever this Meli was, he was a different person.

Zak watched him . she slowly sippe dhe rdrink her eyes growing very dark and cold. she felt it again . the sensation something watched him and her. the hairs on he rarm stood up. she put the glass down and gently reached behind her back . her head lowered but eyes watching . she nodded as he said he had something he couldnt didnt understand. she followed him to the bathroom listening. not much could be heard but she as she heard the water running she got back to he rseat fast and smoothly . she sat back her hand still behind her back. he reyes narrowed as he spoke fast about what she said. she was silent. then brought her arm back up . empty . the gun still pressing against her back and rim of her jeans. she coughed as she folded her arms. " hmm really..indeed... ' she leaned forward . a seriousness to her tone. " listen ' she whispered " i know he was here right here . he was talking to you wasnt he. dont lie to me . cuz that is what i do . i seek out these things so i have adapted on how to find them. i felt him jake . i felt him. you or he cant hide from me anylonger. " she sat back relaxing her hands. her eyes alittle lighter now. " hmm. i understand all is so new .. but you have to be careful . please let me know when this happens . cuz he could take control and then what . a mess. a battle or maybe nothing would happen . he could be helpful who knows . but i cant help if yo uleave me out .. ' licke dher lips. " im sorry i was just scared for you is all wehn i felt him againm. " she looked down to her hands. then away . ____________________________________

Jake felt an intenseness from her and lifted his eyebrows in surprise. He felt the moment shift to something dangerously close to an edge he didn't want to walk. He crossed his arms, and shook his head slightly. "I dun plan on lyin' to ya. And I'd appreciate ya not takin' t'at tone wit' me. I'm not a bloody criminal." he muttered. He rolled his shoulders, and neck, trying to loosen his muscles. "I don't know 'ow to bring you in, I'd feel weird saying out loud w'at I 'ear. And it's not like I 'ear it all t'e time. Jus' w'en 'e wants me to know somet'ing it seems." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, then finished off his pop. He started to pick at the chips, dipping them in the salsa, formulating his thoughts. It took only a moment, then he wiped off his hands in a cloth, and took her hand. "T'is is gonna be 'ard on bot' of us, I know. But you need to trust me as much as I need to trust you. I dun t'ink Meli is going to do anyt'ing. At least not yet. W'atever is 'appening I t'ink he needs me to figure everyt'ing out first." Again the voice whispered softly in his ear. Aye. Figure it all out. Before time runs out. The war is coming. Figure it out quickly. Sighing Jake leaned back slightly, keeping contact with Zak through their hands. It was like he had an Mp3 player in his ear when the voice spoke, but these words, were they rantings? Or truth? He looked over at her and sighed unhappily. "Apparently times running out. A war or somethings coming." he felt weird repeating a voice that no one could hear but him.

Zakura unfolded her hands causually to her side. she sighed as he spoke of what was to come and how this thing talked to him. meli.. hmm strange to her to call it by a name .
Zak placed a hand to her forehead " ok ok ' she then ran her hand along the table a softer tone and look to her face and voice. as he touched her smooth hand that normally would be still and controled now it trembled slightly . " a war of somekind like what. ;is he. i mean meli speaking to you now. is that it. " she squeezed his hand . pulling it abit closer to her. " jake we need to go back and find what it is we are to find. can you ask him what it is we are lookikng for. i .i have had feelings something big was coming but i truely dont know what at the moment. i am not liein g to you and i appreciate you trusting me . i i trust you jake " she slid around the table standing up . throwing down the tip . " we need to go now . i feel it is very important. " she looked around . the cool sensation running down her spine. " lets find out meli's secrets shall we " she smile dfaintly . glad he trusted her.

Her words caused him to shrug and shake his head. " 'e talks randomly. T'is ain't exactly normal so I dun know 'ow it works." He gripped her hand quickly then let go as he stood up to follow her. He nodded his head slowly and threw down the rest of the money, then smiled weakly. "Yeah, find out 'is secrets.." he mumbled. To him this was starting to become Pandora's box, and he was unsure as to what was going to happen to him or anyone else that was around when he pried it open. As he followed her, he reached out for the voice, trying to hear it. When he hit an emptiness inside him, he whispered questions into the dark. Nothing came back, to which he grunted and sighed. "I'll try to talk to 'im but I t'ink 'e wants to do t'is 'is own way. An' me figuring t'is out seems to be 'is game."
As they arrived back at the apartment, he started upstairs again and paused as he heard the voice in his ear. My secrets are your secrets, why do you need to ask me? Just open yourself up to me Jake. If we become one again, we will be stronger, faster, and better! you will know everything Jake! "Shut up!" Jake growled, wanting the voice to just leave him alone for a minute. Sighing, he slid his arm around Zak wanting contact and glanced at her. "Never 'ad an actual voice in my 'ead before. Dun t'ink it's all t'at fun t'ough. Sorry." He led her upstairs and sighed again at the boxes. Leaving her in the doorway, he decided to look around and went through the small bedrooms. One had a mattress on the floor with some sheets covering it, there weren't any boxes in there, but there were posters with tickets attached to them, and books with post its sticking out of them. As he looked through the book titles, he sat down on the edge of the mattress and started to piece the titles and posters together. It was all research. Everything connected to each other, posters of both classical music and rock, books on high society, and books about serial killers. It was all some kind of research. like whatever it was inside of him had to constantly learn how to be human. He tossed the books down and ran his fingers through his hair. He sat in a pack rats apartment; staring at hundreds of pictures, cut outs from newspapers, and research tools. And not one of them was helping him fit all these pieces together. Looking up from the ground, he noticed a flat black object on the shelf in the open closet. This one held nothing but a few blankets, unlike Meli's show apartment, so it wasn't to hard to see. He stood up, walked over and pulled it out from the top shelf. A flat computer lap top. Of all the things he never wanted to deal with, more electronics was one of them. "Hey Zak...You know anyt'ing 'bout computers?" maybe she could make it work faster than he could.

zakura gave his hand a squeeze as they left the place and back to the apartment. she stoped in the door as she figured he was having a converse with meli. but it was brief. sh e bit her lip. " no i guess a voice isnt nice. i know. ' she looked around nervously for being what you are . sh ethought. she to had voices more of her self. but th4e beast inside that conpells to feed and kill. she fought thatvoice alot lately . bu tinthe end it became her own.
she looked around curiously . this meli seemed to study humans. to mimic the humans as it were. she fingered pictures posters as jake studied a few things. she was in the other room or hall as jake yelle dout for her.she came in the bedroom and saw th elap top .
" ahh that could be useful indeed. ' she sat by him on the bed. and looked at his worried face. " here give it to me i rewire it up to the cable thats jutting out the wall. " she grabb3e dthe laptop and with luck she knocked the desk over and a battery came out " oh great well need that. " she hooked the thing up and tapped away . rebooting th esytem. she came the desktop with many files with in it. she looked to jake " well . some of these files have passwords. soem dont. whimch should we look to first " she moved the flat mouse pad on the laptop. going dwon lists.

He watched her wire the computer, not understanding one bit of it. As he had thought earlier, computers of any kind weren't his thing, and so with little else to do, he started going through the night stands beside the bed. Nothing of interest was there, a few scribbled notes with some names and numbers, although one caught his interest. Saniyah's followed by a washington phone number. Something about the name made him put the number into his pocket instead of tossing it aside. Speaking og passwords he walked over to stand beside her, his hand moving to her shoulder. "Let's take a look at the unlocked first, and from there we can try to figure out the locked ones." He wasn't sure he wanted to know anymore, but he did understand that he had to know what was going on. Glancing around quickly, he then shrugged and crouched down beside her, staring at the screen. All of this was a lot to handle, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Gently he reached up and pushed her hair behind her ear before looking back to the screen, wondering just what it was they were going to find.

Zakura bit her lip . as seh taped on the computer. she saw jake get up searching for clues to start with. she watched as he read a peice of paper. he reyes locked on his actions.a puzzled look on her face. she smiled as he brushed back a tress of her hair. " hmm yes unlocked ones. "
she clicked on a file called Notes. she opened it up and pages of pages . popped up . numberered by dates . almost like a journal . she clicked on the most recent one first. she looked to jake " ready to read ' she said nervously .

He took a deep breath and nodded turning his head to look at the screen. The first page consisted of ramblings, much like the note he got, and so he skimmed the words to the end. "Try a more recent one, I don't t'ink much of t'is is going to 'elp t'ough, I don't t'ink Meli is....Stable to say t'e least. I've never 'eard him coherently, even if 'e is capable of it." Of course the other man was capable, not only had he survived this long, but he had actually thrived all these years. Scrubbing his hands through his hair he felt an odd tugging sensation, and tried to push it away. This time, something didn't work, and he felt himself lose control in a matter of milliseconds. Less than the time it took to blink, Jake was pushed back and meli shined through. All he needed was a second or two anyway. "Look at this years entries, and tell him to remember the farm. Everything he needs is there." And then he was gone again, leaving Jake bewildered and confused. To jake it felt as though someone had stuffed him in a bag and bounced him around a bit, but somehow, he knew it hadn't been long. He still sat on his toes next to Zak, staring at the page he had just read. A momentary blackout? The days certainly weren't getting easier that was for sure.

" jake um. i know this is odd but He said to remember the farm . " she turne dto him smilikng a bit awkward. " do you remember that ' she turned the screen " here here is some regards to that. go ahead i feel as though you should clickit " she licke dher lips curious and yet strange to see what lay beyoind jakes past.

Jake rocked back on his heels exhaling in a soft whoosh. Great, his other half still had some control, at least it wasn't much this time though. Slowly he nodded his head in response, and reached his hand up to open the file. He couldn't think of any farm, hell as far as he knew he had spent his entire life in the city, and trying hard to think of it didn't help but seemed to hinder. So he let go of the thought as the small entry came up. It was a few years ago, but still far more recent then some of the entries. It was brief in its message, although Meli's usual ramblings filled a lot of the space.
July, 2003
They did it again. There's a war coming if they keep this up. I've been hiding at the farm for sometime now thanks to those god damn people! Somethings going to happen, I can see the gates again, I can see the water rising and know the flood will pour down over the gates unless something is done, but not yet, no not yet. This farm is my only haven, no matter what I can return here. Thankfully the time here is almost done. Its like a Prison around here! i cannot leave, I cannot feed, I feel weak, and it is all their fault! Never again! Never again will be cornered here! But it is not safe yet, no net yet. Soon.
Shaking his head, Jake scrubbed his hands through his hair and grunted. "Funny w'at 'e considers 'elp." Again he tried to remember the farm that had been spoke of, but his memories were shaky and fragmented at best. Somewhere he'd think of as a haven. Grunting softly he shook his head and sat back on the bed, leaning back on his elbows. "I 'ave no friggin' clue about any farm. It'll probably come to me in t'e middle of t'e night." he chuckled. Things usually did, just random answers would wake him up in the middle of the night.

Zakura reread the file over again . something seemed familiar about it all. but her mind was refusing to give the ansers. she knows she heard of a a farm . or a town . once that well her kind. hunters searched for beings like meli. sometimes cornering them but with thier skillz people likme him would slip thru thier fingers. enraging some. Zak shook her head . a headache was forming tryingto remember. her training once before. she smiled down to jake. ' yes sleep rest and relaxation is what you need jake. things will be refreshed in the morning. for both of us. or all three " she gave a querky expression. at the thought of a third party looming between them. she laid beside jake her hand propping her head up as she stared tohim. " take some rest. i usually am alert when i sleep . so i wil lwake you if anyting goes wrong. " she lenaed over and kissed him lightly on the lips. her hand free she gently laid him on his back and grabbed a cover. pullingit across them both. as sleep began to creep on both of them. ___________________________________________________________

Jake nodded in agreement and moved his way up to the top of the bed and turned his head to look at her. "Yeah, all three." he chuckled nervously. After she laid down and told him to sleep, he kissed her back and then let her push him down. She pulled the blanket over them, and he stretched out as best he could, sliding his hand under his head. This night....This entire day from start to finish was one big mess. His eyes drooped, and finally closed, the thoughts still racing in his head. Moments passed by, then minutes and finally more than an hour moved without incident. Once both were in a fairly deep sleep, Meli pushed Jake back and opened his brown eyes. He turned his head to glance at Zak, even as his skin lightened, and grew cold. He rose steadily from the bed and smoothed himself out as much as he could. Jake wasn't going to get anywhere fast if he kept refusing to remember their past. Again he looked at Zaks sleeping form with furrowed brows. Wether or not the woman knew it, she was motivating Jake to figure this out. While he didn't want hunters to live, this wasn't that vile of a situation that he wouldn't deal with it. He left the bedroom and entered the living room, taking a look around. Meli had moved all of these things more than five times in his lifetime, and even here, he felt as though his entire world was around him. Taking a seat on the couch he flipped through some of the albums and pulled certain boxes to the front for them to find tomorrow. One held pictures of the farm that jake needed to go to in order to find his fathers grave and remember just exactly why meli was even here. Another had pictures of their mom on stage dancing. A third held stock piles of receipts, dating back from the beginning of Meli's career as a thief. All of the receipts held what the item was and whom he had sold it too. Granted the weren't real receipts since Meli had written every one out and had the person he had sold it to sign it. Quietly he cleaned everything up to sort of what they had left it as, then went into the kitchen to grab a drink. Unless the woman woke up, he planned on slipping out in an hour or two, shutting down his life lines, and sending his informants away. He knew Jake would figure it out soon enough, and that he was going to head out to the farm. Since that was the case, he wanted to get rid of any attatchments he had in the city. Who knew where Jake would go afterwards. Who knew if Jake would accept him. But everything was slowly falling into place, and maybe, just maybe, if it continued to work out, Meli would actually get to talk to Jake.
