"A name?" the girl asked, her back to him. "I have no name, but I'm called many things...want me to show you one of them?"
"What's that girly?" he asked, suddenly creeped out. "How do you show someone a name, you mean write it?"
"If you wish," he didn't see the wide smile upon her face. "I suppose I owe you one wish for the deception."

The girl came down the steps wiping her mouth and licking her fingers in a seeming daze to the amusement of the assorted thugs and creeps in the grungy little squat. For some reason known only to her she wandered off to the old jukebox the small gang had acquired at some point.
"Really gave it to her eh, Jack?" someone called out. There was no response. As "Jack" continued to be absent from his usual play of offering up the latest catch to the group, things began to get tense.
"Jack?" one of the four men below called again as he climbed the stairs to Jack's quarters.
The place began to ring with the sounds of "Stray Cat Strut" as the door swung open to a scene out of a slasher movie. The investigating thug was shocked silent, unable to take any detail but the word, drawn in well formed roman calligraphy, "Satsugai."
"It means 'bloodshed,'" a voice whispered behind him. He turned around in time to see a smiling fang-filled mouth before the "schoolgirl's" claws ripped open his throat.
****
The schoolgirl walked away from the scene, whistling "the cat came back" as she walked and licking herself clean again. As she walked, she and her clothes shifted out of the appearance of a ripe young school girl, into that of a tall, graceful young man.
