Must Be Dreaming [Hilde/Oracle; Finished]

[Hilde]

[This thread takes place immediately after the events of "Kiss My Eyes and Lay Me To Sleep"]

Hilde appeared near the base of the Eifel Tower, located in Paris, France. She looked around to see if anyone else was aware of her presence; the last thing she wanted to do was randomly appear out of nowhere in front of a five year-old kid. After she noticed the coast was clear, she pulled a small metal box out one of her pockets. She turned it on, and looked at the screen.

On the screen was a seemingly very embarrassing picture of Rosey, her long-time rival, moving back and forth on what seemed to be a radar screen. She smiled deviantly.
"Gotcha, bitch!" she said in a confident tone.
But just as easily as Rosey's picture appeared, it was gone instantly.

"WHAT?!" she yelled. "NO! I fucking had her!"

Then she started to think. There was a possibility that she was in the mortal realm for a reason. And whatever that reason was, it was now Hilde's reason.

"Computer," she started. "Locate the last being Rosey had physical contact here in Paris, France."

"Scanning," the little box repeated. After about three more times, it started to blink.
"Target aquired," it said. "Location, five yards north. Currently stable."

Hilde looked in front of her. "That's the park over there," she said. She put away the device and started running toward the park rather quickly. Hiding behind a tree, she looked the direction her computer informed her and saw a somewhat scrawny young man with blue hair and a collar around his neck, standing alone on the park sidewalk.

She squinted in wonder. "What did she want with you?" she asked herself.

[Oracle]

Oracle stood there, still in his Hako guise, wondering how his plan failed. Sure, he was attacked by some vampire. But it was nothing but a glorified human. He was a Celestial, for Shijin's sakes! And the fact that he was able to continue to make Sara believe his guise was the real thing made him sure that this plan was foolproof; only to realize that he was the fool. There was no reason why he wasnt able to recieve the information he wanted.

But, he did recieve clues. Shadow owned a flowershop; an obvious cover for the Devil Saint's headquarters. The only problem was that the clue didn't give him that much to work with. There are thousands of flowershops in this infernal realm. How was he supposed to know which one to look?

Then he looked inside the folder one of the twins slipped inside his inside jacket pocket. He angrilly flipped through all of the pictures of his guises, disgusted that he allowed himself to be watched this closely. Then, through all of the pictures taken of him, Oracle noticed a detailed map leading to a flowershop located in Tokyo, Japan that showed routes from three different hotel complexes. He held it up to the moonlight to see that there was something on the back written in a special moon-activated ink. He turned it over and frowned after seeing what it said.

Dumbass.

Oracle huffed. "Cute," he said out loud. Then he heard the rustle of a bush behind him. He quickly took the folder and placed it back inside his coat while he folded the paper and placed it inside his pants pocket. He noticed the rustle came from a bush located near an oak tree. Curious as to know why it rustled, he slowly walked toward it.

[Hilde]

Hilde watched in curiosity as the blue-haired boy pulled out a folder containing pictures of different men inside it. What would Rosey be doing with this guy? From what she was able to interpret, he was planning either a huge massacre and he couldn't afford a "little black book," or he was planning one hell of a gay orgy party.

Then she saw a picture of the man inside the folder. That just made her more confused. When she saw him pull out a piece of paper and hold it to the moonlight, a glimmer of hope shined in her eyes.

Finally, she thought to herself. Something that Rosey could've wanted.

She leaned against the tree to try and see what was on the paper, letting her curiosity get the best of her. But as she leaned, she tripped and landed in a bush besides it. She didn't get up immediately; she froze like a squirrell in the street, hoping that he didn't hear her fall.

Oh shit, she thought to herself as she saw the boy turn her direction. She quickly hid behind the tree, keeping her back against it. She breathed heavily, hoping that he didn't see her. But once she calmed down and sensed a bit of calm in the air, she rolled her eyes.

He's right besides me, isn't he? she thought to herself.

Eating up the inevitable, she turned around to see if the boy did in deed find her.

[Oracle]

Oracle waited patiently by the tree until the woman made herself known to him. When he saw her, the first thing he noticed was her katana attached to her waist. The second was her red hair. It was rather long; a major turnoff for Oracle. He was leaning against the tree with his arms folded and a frown on his face. He didn't have the patience to be formal, so acting like a gentleman was out. Instead, he went with the straight-forward approach.

"Why are you spying on me?"

[Hilde]

Hilde also frowned at the blue haired boy. She didn't know whether to be curious or disgusted. After finding out what he could have been up to, she immediately knew that she had to get her tracking device fixed when she got back home.

But, with that realized, that didn't help settle her curiosity.

"I'm not spying on you," she said in her defense. Then she thought about it. "Well, yeah," she trailed off. "I guess I am." Then she frowned back at him. "But I have a very good reason for it," she said with a point of her finger. "According to my knowledge, you had physical contact with a woman called Rosey. What did she want with you?"

[Oracle]

Oracle looked down at the woman, no longer caring if he was in character with his Hako guise or not. With an eyebrow raised, he started to form a scowl on his face. Who was this wench to ask Oracle - the nightmare of children's dreams - anything at all? If anything, he would be asking what she wanted on her tombstone. But, he entertained the thought anyway, seeing it as a way to blow off steam from his recent failure.

"I have only entertained the company of one woman tonight," Oracle began, "and her name was nowhere near a 'Rosey'."
Then Oracle thought a little bit clearly. Inside the bar he was with Sara, there was a woman inside that seemed to be drinking shots as if it was nothing but water. Then he remember her yelling at the bartender, saying "You know nothing of alchoholisim!" Then she walked past him, bumping into him somewhat accidentally.

After reminiscing about the nights activities, he looked at the woman before him once again and chuckled. "You speak of the drunk," he said. "She had one too many and bumped into me inside a bar; no big deal."

He then smiled at her.

"What were you expecting, little girl?" he asked. "That she came to me to learn something? Your better at being naive than you are being a stalker!"

[Hilde]

What?! she thought to herself. I came all the way here just to find out Rosey wanted to get fucking wasted?! I should have known better!

There was no discretion in her mind; Hilde was pissed. But the fact that this mortal was talking trash to her made her want to show this stray exactly what she was capable of.

"I'm going to make you eat those words, you little punk!" she yelled. She immedately released her katana and set it on fire with a stronger squeeze of her handle. With her free hand, she started a small fireball. But once she thrusted her palm toward the boy's direction, it turned into a full fledged fire blast.

[Oracle]

Once Oracle saw that she was able to set her sword ablaze, he smiled. He knew he made a mistake by allowing Yurik to get as close to him as he did. But the fact that he was given the chance to redeem himself honestly rarely came this instant. Oracle saw the fire blast coming and flipped out of the way. He landed near the woman's right side after summoning his staff. With a few twirls, he swung it right upside her head.

[Hilde]

The impact surprisingly sent Hilde flying to the other side of the sidewalk. She landed on her shoulder with her sword still ablaze and in her hand. When she got up, she noticed the blue-haired boy standing with a staff in his hand. This got her confused.

"That staff..." she said, sounding surprised. She got up, and ran toward the mortal with her sword swinging.

"Who the hell are you?!" she yelled as a battlecry.

[Oracle]

Oracle stood completely still as he saw the woman approach him. When she attacked, he took time while he was easily dodging the swings to notice how well of a form she had. Every stroke, every stab, was a moving masterpiece. Right when he dodged at another one of her stabs, Oracle took the time to observe the perfection of her move.

"Beautiful," he said with awe in his voice.

He decided to block her attacks with his staff to see how well she could perform. If he was right about her, she could be of use for him...

[Hilde]

Hilde watched in confusion as the boy before her dodged every single one of her attacks. He had the fluidity of a snake. But that only told her that he was spineless. He would have to be if he was willing to attack a woman. And he had a smile on his face while everything was happening.

That cocky cocksucker! she thought to herself. When he started to block with his staff, she decided to up her game up a bit. After a few more attacks that he blocked, she decided to change the scenery a bit. She jumped upwards and grabbed his neck. In a flash, she threw him into the broken nose of the Sphinx when they arrived in ancient Egypt

[Oracle]

Oracle enabled his ability to fly before he fell into the sands of the desert he dropped Abbadon after he turned him mortal. He stared at the woman who broght him there. There was so much potential in her; he had to control her power. So, with his free hand, he placed it behind his back, letting his void magic build up for a powerful attack.

"So much potential," he told her. "And your letting it waste. Under the right tutilage, you could be unstoppable!"

[Hilde]

Hilde twirled her sword, once again setting the blade on fire. She looked at the flying blue-haired boy above her with contempt as she started to fly toward him.

"And who's going to do that?" she yelled, preparing her attack. "You?"

[Oracle]

Oracle smiled as she approached him. With a single nod, his Hako guise instantly disappeared and his true form became visible to her eyes. There was a twinkle in his eye that she could see through the darkness of his hood.

"Exactly," he responded.

Suddenly, he released the void blast that he let build up behind his back with his free hand. After the blast was completed, it took about half of a minute for the dust of the sand to settle. When he did, he floated to the ground and observed the woman in question.

[Hilde]

Hilde thought she had it all planned out; cut off this pricks head, go back home and drink herself to sleep from the sudden dissapointment of the day. But when she saw the boy change, she was overwhelmed instantly. Not because he transformed, but who he transformed into.

"Oracle..." she stated under her breath.

Then she saw the giant attack headed her way. The fact that she was still preoccupied that she had been fighting Oracle all this time distracted her from the danger in front of her. When she did realize, she could only say two words:

"Aw fuck."

The blast overtook her and buried her inside a mixture of sand and glass. After the dust cleared, she could see Oracle standing in the distance, waiting on her to fold, in which she did.

"I am so sorry," she said as she placed her sword up. "If I knew it was you, I would have never questioned your motives to begin with."

[Oracle]

Oracle nodded in response to her apology. He walked toward her to meet half way.

"I sense that there is an admiration of me in your spirit," he said. "Is this true?"

[Hilde]

Hilde nodded with a smile on her face. The fact that she was in the presence of Oracle was mind-boggling to her. It was as if she just met her favorite band after hearing them preform live.

"My name's Hilde," she said. "I'm a Fae. You have no idea how great it is to finally meet you."

She turned around and started to jump around frantically.

"Omigod! Omigod! I fought Oracle! I fought Oracle!"

She swallowed and calmed down before looking at him again.

"Sorry," she said. "I'm just so excited."

[Oracle]

Oracle raised an eyebrow as he grabbed a hold of his hood with his free hand.

"It's quite alright, Hilde," he said.

Hmm, he thought. A Fae. This must be my lucky day...

"When I said that you had great potential, Hilde," he began, "I was serious. How would you like to become my pupil?"

[Hilde]

When Hilde heard that sentence escape Oracle's mouth, her eyes instantly grew twice their size. This was her dream come true; to be able to learn under Oracle's teachings would not only make her stronger than Rosey, but it would possibly help her other dream fall into place.

Making Oracle fall in love with her.

"Of course I would!" she answered. "It's what I always dreamed of! Omigod, this is the best day of my life!"

[Oracle]

Oracle continued to smiled at her. It was a smile of ideas, thinking about the future that he could use her in. Then he thought about his goal right then and there; the flowershop in Tokyo, Japan. With that idea fresh on his mind again, he stared at his new toy.

"Well," he started, "right now I am on a mission that could make great use of you. But first, let's get out of this desert, okay?"
