Nighttime.
Akira breathed in, held it, and then let it all out in a sigh of contentment. Clear sky, a light breeze.... perfect.
She had always loved roaming the city at night. True, she was half human and could therefore stand to be out during the day, but she loved the night for what it signified - darkness, shadow, concealment. Her bywords. By now, she knew the streets - and side streets - as well as she knew the 'borrowed' apartment she kept. Unlike other cities - or so she'd like to think - this place she'd had to call 'home' was always changing; something new was always happening at one corner or another, people came and went... that was the life here.
Her sharp hearing picked up the sounds of gunshots, approximately 3 streets away from where she stood. Another gang war? she thought, ...or maybe just a shootout at the drugstore. She knew for a fact that there was a drugstore in the area, and thought to check it out. She could control her bloodlust, yes, but when it came down to it, she still needed to feed. However, she preferred that she feed on someone who was about to die, rather than have to feed off the living.
She glanced down, eyeing all of twenty floors of that particular building - her apartment complex - and the one across it... and smirked. Quite a jump, but nothing she hadn't done before.
Here goes...

The dark-haired half-vampire glanced over her shoulder, her gaze steady. Nothing much surprised her now, really - not even people walking up behind her without so much as the faint sound of footsteps. There, a few feet behind and to her left, stood a pleasantly tan, thirty-ish man clad in black. Akira noted the dark hair and red eyes - traits of a pure-blood vampire, if descriptions in legends and 'vampire stories' were anything to go by.
"What's it to you?" she said, by way of reply, before launching herself into the air. The breeze whipped past her, and she relished in the sensation of hurtling through space, hair streaming behind her, as though weightless.
She landed on the other roof, went into a crouch and rolled, to take the impact off her legs. Martial arts training had prepared her somewhat for life on the streets, so she was no stranger to what one had to do after a jump like that, provided one actually made the target, as she had.
Akira stood, perusing the horizon as though looking at it would reveal exactly where the gunshots had originated. In truth, she was waiting to see what the other vampire - who was still across the street - would do, and what he was doing there. And, if applicable, what he wanted of her.

Fighting the urge to roll her eyes, Akira turned away slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. She wasn't overly surprised that he'd known she was a halfling - almost nothing surprised her anymore - and despite her outer appearance and actions, wasn't so rude as to say nothing in reply. She'd indulge this vampire, if that was what he wanted.
"Nothing much..." she said, slightly mocking his earlier statement. "I usually come up here at night." Here the amethyst-eyed teen shrugged lightly, nonchalant. "Habit, I suppose."
There. She'd answered his question. There were no answers to her unspoken ones, however, but Akira was a patient sort. If this guy - whoever he was - wanted to play 'guessing game' or something of the sort, then she'd oblige.
