Kylie relaxed slightly as she heard the man speak. "Alright. It's just that I know about Youkai hunters, have had problems with them myself before, when I let that slip." She sighed. The memories she still had of one she had encountered fairly recently were extremely unpleasant... She'd barely escaped with her life... Of course, having accidentally overloaded and knocking the girl out probably meant she'd had it coming anyway...
Kylie shuddered at the memory of that encounter. It had been incredibly unpleasant... She shook it off. She then responded to what Augen had then asked her. "No, I don't. If he is however, then there might finally be a chance to remove the curse and finally have the peace I've dreamed of for two-hundred years... It won't bring Yukiko back though..."
Kylie missed her friend, even after two-hundred years... She didn't miss always acting like a child, and she was glad she had grown up since that time, but she still missed Yukiko... Although, she'd probably have long since died of old age by now either way...
Kylie felt such sorrow. Her life... Really had almost no meaning. And yet, she couldn't let go of it... A meaningless life of searching for a way to remove her curse. She was well-aware that her life would probably be almost completely empty if her curse was removed. And yet, she couldn't stop seeking... Perhaps that was also a part of the curse. How very ironic, a curse that seeks to remove itself, and leave its victim feeling empty and hollow...

Augen paused for a moment, looking down at the ground. He tried to steer the conversation away from past losses yet still keep it on solving the curse. "Hmm... Strange case, though. Where I come from, most curses only work when the bestower is still alive. I've heard there are exceptions though," he said, pondering what kind of curse this might be.
"... Anyway, lets hope he's still alive and that's the case... It'll make lifting the curse a lot easier," he said, standing up and looking at Kylie. "We should probably start searching somewhere with books about curses. Do you need help walking?"

so get this....there was a rumor going about that a dragon had been spotted around here
a dragon if your crazy enough to believe that
well bast was kinda paid to believe these kinds of things hence why he was in the area
the youkai hunter noticed the 'big and scary' dragon chasing a butterfly as if it were some kitten and desided to leave it till later....with this big a hunt it didn't matter how or when it was done just that it got done
the cursed youkai he had overheard on the other hand was another story...and in some ways an appetizer before the main course
he drew his sword and slowly stalked his prey
haku and the other hand made full circle and got board of the butterfly so now he was laying back down by the male and female
which made the hunters job much much harder

Kylie shook her head as she replied, "No, I don't need help walking." Then she chuckled a bit. "Me and books... Just kind of a funny idea. I'm a water mage who sometimes sets everything on fire by accident when I'm upset. That's ironic in itself, but then if you add books in there..." Kylie burst into laughter.
For some reason, she could easily imagine being in a library and getting annoyed. Not quite angry, but annoyed enough to send a splash of water toward whatever was annoying her... Then missing and drenching the books. And then a fight would start, she'd really get ticked off, and everything would burn down... The idea was somehow just hilarious to her.
Kylie suddenly saw movement, other than the easily distracted dragon. Someone was coming toward them... Holding a sword! "Who are you?! What do you think you're doing, coming toward us with your sword drawn like that?!" Kylie asked, and got into a combat ready position, flinching slightly as she attempted the sudden movement. The burns would heal, but at the moment, they were annoying as heck and not going to be helpful in battle...

At Kylie's words Augen turned his head to face the newcomer... Then rolled backwards and pointed his pistol at the man. "Hey... Wat'cha doin' with that sword," Augen asked, smiling as he aimed steadily at the man. "Oh, please excuse Judy. She gets a little... Jumpy, when other weapons are around," he continued, gesturing at his gun. "I hope you understand. We don't want any trouble."

bast stood up and put his sword away
"heard there was a dragon in the area....didn't expect that it wasn't him setting things on fire"
he pointed in the direction he came from
"kinda hard to miss the explosion"
haku looked at the man for a moment
"i know you....your that you- kai hunter"
haku smiled not knowing what exactly that ment
"have you come to help the female with her curse too?"

"A Youkai hunter?!" Kylie exclaimed. Well that was just great. She didn't need to get into a fight. Could she really get away like this? Kylie watched suspiciously as the person came closer, even as she sheathed her sword. "Do you have any business around here?" she asked, being cautiously polite. Why was this person here? Had they overheard what Kylie had said?
Kylie really did not need to try and fight someone off while she was recovering from the explosion. Because let's face it, having burns, even if they won't leave permanent damage, all over your body... FREAKING HURTS! which does not help in combat. At all.

Seeing the man put his sword away put Augen at ease a bit. He put his gun back into his coat, but left his hand there in case of emergency. "... So, did you come to investigate the damage being dealt to the forest? In that case, we may share a common interest... We were just discussing the possibility of removing the cause. Hopefully the symptom as well... However," Augen said, gesturing torward Kylie. "... I'm not quite comfortable with removing the ailed in the process."
He then turned his head to face Kylie. "I've heard of an extensive library somewhere in Gensokyo... So I'm sure you've heard of it as well. Many spellbooks and magipedias, it has. The only problem is, it is heavily guarded. Nonetheless, perhaps it would be wise to investigate, eh?"

bast pointed at the dragon
"my business is with the dragon...lots of people are afraid of it"
haku looked confused
"afraid of me?...."
"yes dragon afraid of you....your big, powerful, and you eat people...no better then a demon"
bast put his hand on then handle of his sword
"demon?"
haku looked down sadly
"i don't eat people"

Well, it didn't look like the Youkai hunter was after her... Kylie did feel some gratitude toward Augen, he definitely seemed like he'd be an ally if this led to a fight after all, which still seemed like a possibility as she listened to the Youkai hunter speak with the dragon. Kylie stepped in front of Haku, and said "I don't know what you've heard, but you clearly heard wrong. This dragon would most certainly not harm anyone from what I've seen."
Kylie gave a cold glare to the man, "I suggest you leave, you have no business here, unless you plan on going through me." She was well aware that he might try. But if he did, she'd be ready. Oh how she'd be ready... Most people were unable to survive an icicle through the heart, and she doubted this guy was any exception. She didn't have enough actual anger to catch on fire, and she felt no fear whatsoever. Kylie silently thought to herself Bring it on!

"Hey, HEY! Cool down, both of you," Augen said, shooting three times into the air. "This animosity will only exacerbate into a calamity if we don't just sit down and confirm our suspicions prior to dealing with them." He leaned against a nearby tree, keeping his eyes and weapons on both of them.
"Now you," he said, pointing to the slayer. "Where is it that you've heard of this dragon? Is it possible that this isn't the dragon you're looking for?"

Augen tried to keep things peaceful, but apparently failed, as the Youkai hunter drew his sword, and said something about the dragon, and Youkai being a threat to humans. Kylie somehow managed to avoid becoming angry enough to catch on fire, though she had no idea how.
Kylie said to the hunter icily, "Not all Youkai attack humans. Some even try to protect them. Are those threats as well? You know what, we're done. Freeze and die."
Kylie rose up into the air, and sent icicles, as well as small spheres of water, flying toward the hunter like danmaku. "Even now, I'm protecting someone!" Kylie said to the Youkai hunter as she stared down. Her stream of attack was interrupted for a moment as she flinched in pain from her burns.

Augen sighed and stood back up. "... Well... Might as well ask some questions while they duke it out," he said, deliberately walking between the two of them "pardon me, coming through" before walking up to the dragon. "So... Does that hunter know what he's doing? Or is he under some sort of delusion," he asked, leaning against a tree and gesturing torwards the slayer.
