Jigen arriving on Day Nine
Who: Jigen & OTA => Tonks
When: Day Nine, afternoon
What: A dangerous meeting in New York, and then suddenly being thrown into the middle of a hurricane storm somewhere entirely else and being dragged in to shelter.
Where: A jazz club in New York, then by the River and finally at the bar indoors.
Rating: PG-13 for violence and language.
Status: Completed.

The scarred man in a suit sat down in the table uninvited, with a twisted smirk on his face as he looked down upon the asian man in whose table he joined. Three of his thugs surrounded them to emphasize the threat and to ensure that everything went according to plan.

The man who had first been spending a peaceful evening alone in the table at the jazz club did not flinch, blink or even look up from under his black fedora hat. He lounged on the chair in his black suit, a cigarette between his lips and a half-empty scotch glass beside him on the table.

"Jigen Daisuke," the scarred man began sounding amused. "You're a hard man to get a hold of."

Jigen snorted - smoke flowed out of his nostrils - and slowly turned to look at his company.

"What do you want, Walker?" he asked without taking the cigarette away from his lips. His tone was gruff and his voice was very low.

"The boss wants to meet ya," Walked answered. "You went poking about in his territory, but I'm sure you can... get to an agreement about it."

"You can tell him that I don't care about his territory," Jigen answered and leaned back again. He inhaled so that the cigarettes tip burned brighter. Knowing what was coming, he already took it between his fingers and dumped it on the ashtray.

"I'm sad that you're so ignorant, you see, the boss is not happy. Not happy at all about what you did," the scarred man continued. "But he would let this slide, if you, say, handed over what you took from the Countess."

Jigen let out a dry chuckle. "You were after them as well, weren't you? Well too bad." He raised the scotch glass to his lips so that the melting ice cubes clinked inside it, and emptied it with one swallow.

"Too bad? That's bad for you, Jigen. And bad for your friends," Walker warned. His smirk was suddenly gone and he motioned at the three thugs around them.

As two of them took a step closer to grab Jigen, the bearded asian swung up from his chair with surprising dexterity so that the chair fell down behind him. His elbow hit the thug on his right in the neck making a cracking sound, and before they knew it, he slipped away from the table ducking under the arms of the man on his left.

Walker stood up and reached for his gun. "Jigen! Don't make this any more difficult!"

Two of the thugs rushed after Jigen who dashed to the door holding his hat on his head with one hand. He turned at the door just as Walker pulled out his pistol, and yelled at the bystanders, "Out of the way!" as he pulled his heavy revolver from under his jacket. It took less than a blink of an eye for him to raise the gun and aim.

Two ear-searingly loud bangs echoed in the club making the women scream and everyone else throw themselves down on the floor. The band stopped playing and stared at the scarred man holding his bleeding hand that had just a moment earlier held his pistol. He had managed to shoot his gun as well, but Jigen's shot had hit his hand at the very same moment sending his bullet to the bar, where there was now a very pale bartender on the floor whimpering and three broken bottles leaking alcohol all over him.

"You're gonna regret this! AFTER HIM!" Walker screamed as red blood from the wound on his palm flew through his fingers.

Jigen grinned, raised his hat to the terrified bystander lady nearby as a humorous goodbye, and pushed the door open behind him dashing into the chilly night of New York with the three thugs right behind him.

Except... as soon as he turned to face the street and run to his car, his hat flew off his head and he was washed over by a wave.

After a while of trying to stand up and breath, Jigen had registered four things. One - it was still daylight, but he had been sure that the time was over 11PM. Two - it was windy. Windy was actually an understatement, it was a storm. Three - he was suddenly by a lake or a river since the very fast strong wind gusts kept spitting bucketfulls of water on him. Four - either New York's gone bye-bye, or he himself has gone off to la-la land without a warning. He had turned and then he had been not only somewhere else, but also in the middle of a hurricane storm.

Jigen could not really see around him, but he figured it would be good to get further away from the water. He sauntered forwards fighting to stay on his feet in the storm, not really having a clue of where he was heading.

One look outside when she'd woken up in the morning had been more than enough to tell her today wasn't a day to explore. Yesterday, after her strange behavior of two days ago, she'd spent hiding in her room, not daring to come out lest she be overcome by whatever had affected her, made her fall in love with the old Wizard Elminster. It had been a strange experience to say the least.

But she was hungry, and she was bored. There was only so many times she could rearrange her room to her liking before even that got dull. Sighing, she walked away from the window and decided a quick shower was in order. Then, she would have to brave the storm outside for awhile, since she was starving. Quickly, she showered and dressed, changed her hair to her favorite bright pink color, and headed out. On her way to the restaurant, she passed through the foyer and saw a key blinking there.

"Merlin... not today!"

She was too kind, though, not to attempt to rescue the poor new arrival. Arriving here was bad enough. Arriving in a storm? Much, much worse. She sighed, hoped it wasn't too cold out, and pocketed the key before throwing open the door and heading out into the storm. The first gust of wind nearly knocked her off her feet. She hoped whoever this new person was, they weren't too far out.

Someone heard her unspoken wish, and it wasn't too far before she found herself by the river. Ahead, someone struggled in the wind. This must be who she was looking for. Fighting the wind that seemed to want to dump her right into the river, she made her way closer, waving to get his attention.

"Hey! Over here!"

She didn't know if he could hear her over the wind. She could barely even hear herself. But it was worth a try.

Jigen struggled forward in the wind, shielding his face and eyes with his arms raised in front of him. He barely made out another figure in the storm ahead of him, and heard her call out to him. He was not exactly sure if whoever was there was a woman, but the voice sounded like it as far as he could tell.

The dark silhouette in the storm came closer to Tonks and soon he was close enough for her to make out a black-haired and bearded man in a black suit. With one hand sheltering his eyes he reached behind his back under his jacket to grab the handle of his revolver. He did not feel exactly trusting of the first person he met after the strange transition he just went through.

Jigen did not pull his gun out, though, but peered at the woman with water flowing over his eyes from his wet hair.

"Where the fuck am I?!" he bellowed over the storm at her, vocalizing the main question in his mind.

It was hard for her to make out his words, but she thought she got them. She did a quick once over, decided he was not someone she would want to have annoyed at her, and noted that he held a hand behind his back. Her own hand slipped behind her back in response, and she grasped her wand. She couldn't, and wouldn't, kill him, but she would protect herself.

"It's too loud to go into here, don't you think? Follow me... and try not to attack me? I'm not your enemy."

But it would be much easier to explain when the wind wasn't stealing away half of the words before they ever made it to the other person's ears. She had to explain what was going on, where he was, and give him the key. It had been a few days since she'd greeted someone. The feelings it gave here, though, were still the same. She was sad that another person had been stolen from their home, and nervous about how they would react.

Hoping he would follow, rather than be left alone in the storm, the pink-haired Auror turned around and started making her way towards the main building. The wind pulled determinedly at her hair, her clothing, and she pulled out her wand and held it firmly, just in case. If he attacked, or if she simply was knocked off her feet by the wind, she wanted to have her wand ready.

The man only grunted in return as if yielding into the situation. There was the possibility that Walker's thugs had knocked him out at the door and he was hallucinating, but Jigen had seen enough supernatural things in his life that he decided to follow the woman but stay alert. Staying calm and getting more information never hurt anyone, especially in the middle of a hurricane.

He let go of his gun feeling rather confident in his quick draw against the... stick? Knife? What ever the woman seemed to be holding in case it came to it. Without another word the dark man staggered in the wind careful not to lose sight of the woman, until after what seemed to him as an eternity of time they reached a building of some sort. He made out other structures around them but because of the storm he could not see exactly what was there and where he was.
