Despite everyone else's concerns, Gensho felt confident about his mission. He doubted this Yume could be as horrible as others made her out to be. And even if she was, Gensho knew he could handle it. He was tough, a half Kyuban who could take a lot of nonsense and was born to please others, be kind and patient. Gensho was pretty much born a Gentleman, so his confidence was natural, as Gensho was born to be a host. And convincing others, well, that was easy. Most of the time. Perhaps Gensho was slightly nervous, perhaps only for the benefit of everyone else who'd feared for this Demons attempt to make a friend from the most anti-social Angel known. He followed the instructions to Yume's residence in his head, flying low through the lands Gensho barely knew. A mid-afternoon flight, before the God of Night needed to do his job, and Yume the same. So hopefully she'd be in. Landing down in the area that obviously belonged to the only person around, Gensho took his hat off in pre-respect, making sure his hair was tame as well. Taking a deep breath, the Demon walking closer to the house, wondering if knocking on the door to a house that never had visitors was the best idea, or perhaps just making one self apparent with noise and calling out would be better. Gensho finally settled on knocking, it was more polite than simply yelling out who he was. Gensho tapped a few times on the door, before waiting for noise on the other side.

Note: This is the basic area she lives in: exploresomething.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/01-LEP-White-Mountain-1500x500.jpg A desert in which has nothing around besides it barren waster land. Her home looks to be a large shack, consisting of nothing more then a kitchen, bathroom, living room/ bedroom and a library. Around her home is the charred remains of her last living space, and the lands are blackened from the heat of fires.
Yume watched as the flames flickered, eyes dancing alongside the flames. It was soothing really, and calmed her down from the annoyance of her dreams being interrupted each night, not that it really mattered in all, she cared not for petty matters. What she did care for was the recent visitors, Tenshi, Kakushin, both asking her for help against this mysterious Mitasu, did they not understand she wasn't going to help? "Kakushin use to be a friend of yours, maybe you should help... And what about Tenshi, the dear Ex-Queen helping you to hide out all these years in your perfect solitude. Don't you wish to help her..? Oh, shut up will you, they will work something out, besides, not too much harm is coming from this, not enough to cause permanent lasting damage on the population, very few dear fellow Angel and Demons are getting hurt Yume..." It was a never ending battle with herself, deciding if she should help or not, but so far, she wouldn't. The people being attacked are weak, they let their mind be penetrated and used, if they don't have the mind power to stop it and wake up. Then they didn't deserve Yume's help, besides, it would mean socialising. Groaning as her door was once again knocked on, Yume's eyes lit up in anger, why hadn't they learnt to leave her alone? She didn't want the company, she didn't want to help. walking to her door, Yume yanked it open briefly, noticing who it was before scowling and reaching a hand out, a quick mutter of 'Go Away' before Gensho's clothing set on fire a little, not enough for permanent damage this time. If they sent her fellow night crawler, the God of Night himself, then the others really were getting desperate. Slamming the door in his face, Yume once again growled to herself. "Leave the premises now. Yume doesn't want you here..."

Gensho didn't question the area the house was in, or the house. He'd been made away of Yume's, 'hobby', and whilst it did spark a little fear in Gensho, it wasn't going to repel the Demon God anymore than anything else he'd been told about Yume. Like the talking to herself, which was what Gensho assumed he heard through the wooden door, it was unlikely Yume had any kind of company. Gensho's eyes lifted when the door opened, almost ready to go and introduce himself before Yume returned to her home after slamming shut the door. She seemed to mutter something, and Gensho hummed in confusion before feeling some sort of heat cover his shoulder. Then there was the flicker of red flame, and Gensho was immediately in hysterics over the condition of his coat, patting down the flames before they consumed any more of his lovely coat. Taking it off to inspect the damage, Gensho decided to fold it up, and keep it behind his back just in case. Clearing his throat, Gensho tried to forget it ever happened, knowing he couldn't show even a flicker of annoyance right now, and his Gentleman's blood would never allow it either. "I apologise for the intrusion. But I was just wishing to talk. It is rare to see a fellow Night Guardian, let alone have the chance to talk with them." Gensho implied. He wasn't just going to demand her help over and over again, yet. Gentleman's first trick, get to know the person first, before asking them for favours.

If there was one thing Yume hated more then guests... It was the gentlemen kind, the ones who treated you like someone who needed saving, who act like a 'lady' because that was as far from who she was. Growling loudly, knowing that Gensho wouldn't easily be scared off, she could tell, Yume opened the door, sending the other the deadliest gaze she could, magic at the ready, hoping to scare him away with a nightmare when the time is right. "What part of 'go away' don't you understand?" Yume sincerely hoped she burnt his coat beyond repair at this point, but she could tell she hadn't, and it annoyed her even more, not having that leverage over him. "I know why your here, and its not going to happen, as I told the others. Now get the fuck out of my face, leave the area, and make sure no one else returns." Yume wasn't going to allow him to sugar coat anything, the only reason one would dare visit her is because they needed help, Gensho was not a exception. Crossing her arms, Yume waited for him to leave, already trying to work out how to protect her home form the next visitor, as well as what she can do to anyone who returns. "Sheesh, people just wont leave you alone will they? Yume we need your help, Yume, its dire... Well fuck them, they can handle it themselves. But what if they cant? THEY CAN DAMMIT!"
Note: Bold and Italics is Yume talking to herself from now on, just to make things easier to work out!

Gensho could tell this would be a tough test even the likes of the God of Night hadn't faced before. But he'd promised the others, and that promise came with their only hope at having something to fight the current terror with. They needed Yume's help, and that was what Gensho was determined to get them. But beyond that, Gensho being Gensho, he did also want to get to know Yume. He didn't like it when he wasn't on equal terms with others, especially those who shared the night during their job. Watching the door open once more, Gensho wasn't all too phased by the glare, though he could see what it was trying to tell him. Gensho kept a smile on his face, "I didn't understand the reason for it. After all, I just got here." Gensho replied simply. He doubted Yume wouldn't know the real reason for being here, she'd had numerous visits for the same reason before. "Well, yes. That is what I promised the others, that I'd get your help. But I also want to get to know you." Gensho stated. Then Yume started talking to herself again, and Gensho was trying to not look nervously towards the magic she had ready in her hands. He didn't want to eavesdrop, even if the conversation going on was only between a single person, but Gensho did listen in. "Excuse me, but do you know what the troubling situation is?"

In all of Yume's time, she had never hated anyone more then she hated Gensho's determination, even Tenshi was gone by now. Growling once again, realising she may do so a lot with him around, Yume was so very ready to let lose her magic onto him. "I don't care if you just got here or not. Isn't the barren waste land, scorched earth, middle of nowhere enough to tell you... I DONT WANT VISITORS." It was pretty simple, the last Angel to end up here that wasn't Tenshi or Kakushin took one look at the surroundings and left without a trace, why cant this guy do the same? Yume's gaze hardened at the idea of a promise, it was one he couldn't keep, Yume refused to help. But the idea of him wanting to get to know her, was a little intriguing, it would give her chance for a little 'fun' on her behalf. Making sure a large amount of magic was ready, Yume just had to wait for the time to hit him... A little fun for her, and it would scare the idiot off later on. "My help is something you will not get, not now, nor ever. Realise it and move on, it will make things so much easier for you." Yume's gaze snapped up to Gensho's once she finished talking to herself. "Yes, I do. And I do not care for helping."

Gensho's determination was one thing he stuck to. If not, then trying to win over the chance for peace between Humans and Demons would already be a lost cause. Gensho had already waited thirty years for peace, and seventeen years for his brother to return. Only the latter had so far pulled through, but Gensho was the kind of person who could wait for fifty years, and still have his determination. The stubbornness of a certain older brother no doubt rubbed off on Gensho and his twin. Gensho turned a little to look around. "It looks like the view from outside my window up in Dranar." Gensho commented brightly. Perhaps an Angel would be deterred by the condition of Yume's choice as home. But to any Demon, this scorched and dead land was a landscape they'd grown up seeing. Yes Dranar had it's fresh forests and greens, but the majority was still in ruin. Smiling to Yume as he turned away from the view back to her, he could sense the increasing magic, just trying to ignore the thoughts that might be going on in Yume's head right now. Gensho shrugged a little, "I've never really liked taking things the easy way, it doesn't get any results in the end." Gensho did frown when Yume seemed to understand the situation perfectly, to her words. "Well, doesn't it annoy you? Someone out there is messing around with the job that was given to you. I know if someone began tampering with the night sky, the thing I was given to protect, I'd feel the need to stop them."

It was official, Yume hated no one more then she did Gensho. And considering how many she hates, that was something, she hoped he was pleased with himself, because his nightmare was going to be so delectable. Yume should have known a Demon wouldn't be deterred by the landscape, living up in Dranar, but still, she would have thought he would at least a little worried, considering she was an Angel. "Does it now? Well I'm sure that view is much nicer then here... Why don't you go find out." Smirking to herself, Yume could tell Gensho was weary of her magic, she had hoped it would be enough to get rid of him, but she guessed not. "Don't think you will get me to change my mind, this isn't just a difficult task. Its an impossible one. Give it up now, seriously, were going round in circles." Yume took pride in making the other frown, of course it annoyed her a little, everything did these days, but interference didn't matter much to her, in the end it made things easier. Plus, she knows the reason for having this job was to keep her occupied, so its not as if she had to worry too much. "I was given this job to stay out of trouble. If someone tampers with it, not my problem. I've only kept it because it was fun to do. Here let me show you..." Reaching up, Yume placed a hand on Gensho's head and let the magic seep in, now he would under go five minuets of pure hell in the form of a nightmare, it will be pleasant to final see ones reaction to it.

Well if anything, Gensho was talking to Yume, and at least beginning to learn more about her. It was obvious that she clearly used every possible chance to try and make Gensho leave, and must also know that Gensho was determined to do anything but that. Again, Gensho shrugged. "It's a view I see every day, so I can say as an opinion, the two locations aren't much different." He stated, smiling once more. Gensho was up for an impossible task, he and Onrah had once been told that about changing Human opinion, and yet they'd almost succeeded. And that said older brother, even said in the form of a letter that he believed impossible things could become possible. So giving up on finding a way to get Yume's help wasn't an option, unless Gensho wanted to disgrace the words left by Onrah. Nothing would get Gensho to give up on this, not even what came soon after Yume spoke about her job. Her hand touched his head, and Gensho felt as though he'd fallen back. Only when landing, Gensho was somewhere completely different. He was lying in the middle of some sort of party. Getting up, Gensho looked around at the party guests, all dressed up in the most delightful gowns and suits. Everyone looked well kept. But something was wrong, everyone was looking at Gensho with either disgust, or with malicious grins, laughing quietly to one another as they kept their distance. Gensho frowned at first, already feeling a little heated that someone like him was receiving these looks. Then looking down, Gensho withheld his own disgusted whimper. What was he wearing? A dirty shirt, torn and patched? And a pair of horrifying overalls, not nearly colour coordinated. Gensho could be sick, but this moment got even worse. After being ignored by all, some sort of horrible, out of tune music played, and completely randomly, people would dance like they didn't know what it was, and not to the beat of the foul music. It was like these well dressed people didn't know how to act like proper party guests. And they looked at Gensho like he was some sort of hideous monster. This was the opposite of what was right, this world was terror to Gensho in all forms. He'd tried to gain some control and organisation of the event, but it was like he was a plague to avoid. It was after someone had muttered the words 'worst host' that Gensho had fallen down again, jolting awake to find himself back in the normal world.

Yume just decided to ignore him, not finding the worth in wasting her breath for a pointless argument. Instead she just let things play out in front of her, basking in the nightmare that Gensho was having. It was almost comical, what he found to be a mild nightmare, but Yume knew there would be one much, much worse, she could feel it, she knew what it would be. Taking a few steps until she was leaning over Gensho, Yume looked down to him, waiting for his eyes to open, hoping this would make him realise she didn't want him here. And once he did, the look of horror in his eyes would feed Yume for weeks to come. "And to think, that was one of the nicer nightmares I can give." Standing once more, Yume looked down to Gensho. "We should help him up, I'm sure he would hate his clothing getting dirty. Let him help himself up, he came here, he can pay the consequences for not leaving. But Yume. No Buts..." Ignoring the other half, Yume waited for Gensho to find his baring's before speaking once more. "I've told you, I'm not going to help. I've told everyone who has came here that I wont. So why bother trying?"

If the nightmare wasn't enough, Gensho's eyes opened to look up at Yume. Her glare as the Angel loomed over Gensho was indeed terrifying, perhaps made more so by the nightmare. Swallowing, Gensho quickly sat up when he realised he was currently lying on such a dusty ground, shaking his head a few times. There were a few streaks of sweat on his face that the Demon carefully cleaned up, just taking a moment to compose himself. He didn't try and think what a worse nightmare could be like, dragging out Gensho's deepest fears wasn't something the Demon wanted to think of. Gensho's head pounded a little, but he got up anyway. That nightmare was horrible, and Yume was looked at with a little more fear now, but Gensho wasn't going to leave still. Taking a few deep breaths, Gensho shook the last of the nightmare from his system, trying to smile again to Yume. But the smile did drop at her question, as it deserved a serious reply. "Because people are dying, more than usual. And it will only continue to get worse and worse unless the murderer is stopped. I don't like so much unnecessary deaths, because of reasons that link to a great, late brother of mine. So, I will bother trying, over and over again if I have to." Gensho shook his head again, this was like some sort of magic induced hangover, and it was really messing with Gensho's head. He chuckled, "That magic of your's is special, I suppose I should be honoured to see Dream magic up close like that."

Yume sent Gensho the deadliest glare she had as he brushed off the nightmare, and carried on trying. This was more then anyone else had, and it both angered her beyond compare, and intrigued her unwillingly as to why he tried so hard, not that she actually cared in the end. And she knew the brother that he spoke of, Yume wasn't so excluded from things not to know what was going on all these years. Walking close to Gensho, bringing him close so she got her point across, Yume made sure his gaze met her own hardened one. "Listen closely. I am not going to help you. I care not for how many deaths there are or why you hate it, the murderer is everyone else's responsibility. There is little I can do to help, I tell you this though I cannot stop her, only killing the source will work. And until then, this death will plague our worlds, not one will be able to stop it." Shoving Gensho back, Yume took a couple of steps back herself. "Each night people experience my magic as Guardian, its one of the most powerful out there because of that. Trust me, its so much more pleasurable watching my victims squirm in a place I can watch."

It would be hard for some to keep up the act of kindness, not for Gensho. For now, with a nightmare that was, Gensho could admit, the worst he'd experiences so far, Gensho could carry on being nice. Yume's attempt at intimidation was not responded to, no matter how up close she got to Gensho, it didn't sway his calm expression. Besides, beyond that deathly glare Yume had, she had quite the complexion. If it was Onrah here, the flirting would have almost immediate. Fortunately, that side of Onrah didn't rub off on Gensho so much. Gensho was a hopeless romantic, but he knew how to contain it, and in this case it would certain not show in the slightest. He concentrated on the conversation, steadying himself when Yume shoved the Demon back. "I don't ask for you to care. But very soon, this, Mitasu's actions will be everyone's responsibility, whether they like it or not." Gensho replied, looking down slightly. "And no one knows how to stop it. Finding the source perhaps will solve the problem, but what if that takes a long time? No one else knows Dreams like you do, Yume, and we can't stop the murders when we're clueless. That's why your help is needed, if not to help us, then just to educate us on how to stop the problem ourselves."

Yume scoffed at the feeble attempt to make her help, she didn't care in the slightest. The world could collapse before her very eyes and Yume would just watch it happen, eyes shining in delight at it all, so she cared not if Mitasu took over, its not like the devil would care much for someone who was willing to stay out of it all. Yume only knew of one way they could help stop these murders, and that required her undivided attention, so she couldn't educate them on the matter, because the matter required her assistance regardless. "Look, the only way to find out where she is, and to help stop the killings, is to be conscious in a dream and fight her yourself. And that requires the Guardian of dreams help. Who happens to not be giving it. The only way you will win, if to find the source, Mitasu from the sounds of things is mentally awake, her body here may not, you cannot kill a dream. Find the source, stop the dreams. Its that simple." Yume had told others this, and its not like Yume would be able to find out for them, she never went into the dreams, she could only control them. "There, I educated you. Now for the last time. Leave." When Gensho didn't move, Yume began getting really agitated, touching a small string she attached to the side of her house, burning it, and watching the flame travel to a reactive spot less then a metre away from Gensho, before it created a small explosion.

Gensho listened, and then thought over what Yume said. It was confusion, and Gensho realised that Yume must want it that way. They needed to stop the source, but Yume herself claimed the only way to even find that would be with her help, which the Angel was still adamant about not giving. So, to round up what Yume had 'educated' Gensho with; there was no way to stop the nightmares, and everyone should give up trying. Gensho almost lost his cool, swallowing down a frustrated growl as he thought of how to reply. "Putting together what you've just said, it means we have no chance to stop it. The only chance we have, isn't willing to help, is that right?" Gensho replied, tone lower than the usual chirp Gensho had. He would reply again, if the sudden fire didn't catch his attention. The Demon almost jumped clear out of the air, moving away from the fire and subsequently, Yume's house. After making sure the explosion hadn't ruined anymore of Gensho's outfit, he took a few seconds to relax, almost glaring at Yume. This talk wouldn't go anywhere, Gensho was aware of that now. So leaving was his only option, or else have Yume target something a little more dangerous with her fire magic. So Gensho finally did as he was told, and went to leave. But he stopped after a few steps, shaking his head and looking around to Yume with a smile. "It was nice to finally meet you Yume, and despite the warnings, don't think this is the last time we meet. I made a promise, and in my family, those promises aren't broken. So I'll keep coming back, so I guess, I'll see you later." And without listening to a response, or before his back could be singed, Gensho took off into the skies.
