Well, ummm... Here I go.
A young girl walked into a bar. Though she probably shouldn't have been there, nobody questioned it at first. How could they? They were too busy staring at her. Was it for beauty? Was it out of surprise? No, it wasn't that which surprised people so. It was that the girl was so awful looking. Her small body was cowered with scars of all types, and even without them she looked awful. Her short white hair was cut sloppily and had no shine to it. Her pale skin showed many veins and was all dried out. Besides that, it was difficult to tell her gender. If a bra strap hadn't been hanging out, nobody would have guessed she was female. What a truely awful looking girl.
By the time anyone had noticed anything wrong, the girl had walked across the room and sat on a stool, waiting for the bartender so she could place an order. When the bartender finally walked over to her, she spoke in a deep and rude sounding voice, "Got any lemon juice or blood handy?"

By the time anyone had noticed anything wrong, the girl had walked across the room and sat on a stool, waiting for the bartender so she could place an order. When the bartender finally walked over to her, she spoke in a deep and rude sounding voice, "Got any lemon juice or blood handy?" >>Set up the scenes a little more so the reader gets a sense of where you're going. -The night was bland, moderately sticky inside the doors with the stingy, dim lights casting a murky yell haze on everything and everyone. >>Smooth over the sentences for a better flow. -Through the dark and dull scene moved a girl, a girl that clearly didn't belong in such a scene. ((through an introduction like this, the girl is seen more as blending in with the smoothness of the sentence but still showing that she is noted to not belong)) >>Try and avoid saying "it" so much -No, it wasn't beauty that shocked and puzzled the people of the night life, it was the girl abominable looks!((by slightly altering the sentences presenting the reason for the girl's oddity, it adds more interest and in terms of vocabulary and description. The way the phrase is rewritten here also deducts from repetition of "surprised" and "it")) **Consider using commas or semi-colons to keep the stream of a sentence going through the description. A lot of the thoughts are connected so they can be blended together. **Truly (No "e" required) >>the girl had strolled ((by changing walked to strolled, it give more life to what your character is doing)) >>bartender paced ((again by getting rid of walked, it adds more interest)) {My Response} The bartender cringed at the sight of the homely beast, repulsed by bother her appearance and request. "Why don't you scram brat, this aint the seem for a beat up little rag-doll like yourself," muttered the harsh man behind the counter. The bustling in the busy bar kept from anyone else really hearing the rude remark but at the other end of the counter sat a tall and thin man. His lips were thing and his skin as pale as the light of the moon. He sipped at a mysterious red liquid peering over at the broken down wanderer who had just been turned down by the bartender. A smirk worked it's way across his lips as he stared at the child with all her wounds. The two had met before and he remembered it well enough, but the question was, did she?

The ugly child growled at the comment of the man, her temper was always getting the best of her. Pulling a dagger out of her belt, she pointed it at the bartender's throat while a smirk to develop on her face. "Why is it the first thing people say when they see me is always about how I look. What do you think I am, an abused runaway? Not even close. And you try looking pretty after living three hundred years."
The child's glance went to the tall man for a minute. She felt like she'd met him, but that wasn't too strange. She's lived over three hundred years, most of which she was trapped in this childish body. She'd met many people, but very few of them had lived to tell about her. The girl blinked at the man, her way off sayign come over here if you dare.

His strong hands and arms bend her arm and wrist back causing the blade to drop, "not very lady like are we?" The man still wore that ignorant smirk, "A word of advice little lady, don't go attacking people your first night in a bar, you never know what kind of freaks you'll run into". It was obvious at this point that this familiar stranger was referring to himself.

The girl's growl became louder, hating her carelessness. Pulling her arm free, she picked her knife up again. He surprised me, I was tired, it wasn't my fault, the girl thought, trying to comfort herself. She had never been overpowered since she went thought 'the experiment', and she had almost never dropped her weapon. What kind of solider was she if she was disarmed?
"I have my reasons," growled out the girl. "Nobody respects a 'little ugly kid', so I need to have a weapon to get the point across. And don't try overpowering me again. If i had been paying attention, it never would have happened." I didn't train for two hundred years and get that... stuff pumped into my veins just to be beat by a man in a bar. "And, you never know what kind of freak with walk into a bar."

"And, you never know what kind of freak with walk into a bar." >>consider actually placing periods to make a series of short choppy sentences in her thoughts when she's trying reason how she got over powered. This will work in this context that her thoughts are short and frantic based on what's happened. < **never start a sentence with "and" **I is capitalized **will walk into a bar (another typo I assume) {My response} The rest of the bar was staring at the spectical occuring in at the corner of the bar. "It's comical how a person such as yourself underestimates a seemingly normal person when you are trying to prove the point of not judging based on appearance," he pushed off the bar and went back to his seat only to finish his drink. "It's not my place to tell you what to do, but I wouldn't pick fights all the time when you're being watched, or they'll come for you..." he muttered as his steady stride lead him out the door.

"I'm not underestimating you, I'm stating a fact. You wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell against me in a fight," the ugly child announced, walking over to him. She knew she was being a little over confident, but she had only ever meet three people who could beat her, though one of them was her little sister so it didn't count. Okay, I does technically count, but the girl was sure that her little sister cheated. The other two were her boss and her mother. "And why the hell would you randomly start giving a stranger advice? It's creepy What are you, a *****?" Kira... It doesn't count as a ***** if your three hundred years old, she thought afterward, but she was far too proud to say it.

(the changes made here give a better sense of flow and question as to if it did count and makes it easier to move into the next thought.) {My Response} "Stalking me now? You're awful confident for someone that just dropped their weapon," replied the man, "I believe I didn't catch your name. I'm Haji, no further introduction required". The man seemed very cocky as he had now stopped moving completely. It was almost as if he were waiting for something. What he said earlier, who were the 'they' he was referring to? Why would they come? That smirk on his thin pale lips was almost a taunt to her, egging her on to do something about it. Dare she try anything with this strange individual after his odd behavior? It seemed he had no fear of her at all, but of these 'they' who ever 'they' were. A soft breeze blew down the street they stood in, no one else seeming to shuffle about or notice to the two standing there.

"Look, I haven't slept for five days and I haven't eaten for a week. Of course I'm going to be grumpy and weaker then normal," the girl hissed out, not even noticing that he was waiting. "Anyway I'm Kira, and anything else you want to know about me is classified." Kira knew better then to give away her real name, giving away your name gave away her past, and giving away your past gave away your weaknesses.
After a bit, the girl finally noticed that the man seemed to be waiting for something. "Hey, what the hell are you waiting for you stupid... what ever you are!" Kira's statement wasn't really a question, it was more of an insult, after all, she was quite rude.

By using the girl it gets rid of repetition and 'than' rather than 'then' < {My Response} He just smirked and started to walk again, "something I don't see happening any time soon if you don't even know what I am. I'll see you around Kira not your real name". The man continued to move but there was clearly something extremely strange about him. He pretty much admitted that not only was he not human, but that he also knew Kira wasn't her real name.

"Hey, freak boy! Don't you dare walk away from me!" Kira shrieked, running after the man. "How do you know that's not my real name! Nobody knows that! And nobody knows my real name!" The girl's sentenced was messed up, a thick accent making the words difficult to understand. It seemed that when she got very upset, she started to talk with an accent. "Answer me right now!"
((Yes I started a sentence with an 'and' but that's how she talks.))

"What can I say, I simply know things because I do," the two had met before, he remembered it, but clearly she didn't. Could he blame her for not remembering? -not at all! Back then he was small and weak, a bright-eyed little boy that brimmed with joy and happiness. Where had that boy gone? He grew up, that's what happened. His soul was swallowed by the horrid surrounds they called this world. The people who torment and tease, the ones that scream and abuse, yes, that innocent little boy she had met the time before was gone and replaced by the sly man before her.

Unfortunately, Kira wasn't a very smart person. Even though she had lived so long, all the girl knew was force. Her mother had tried to change that, but her boss claimed that a demon was only good for force and that witches were the only ones who needed to use their brains. "Actually, my world revolves around using force. So I think I'll stick with what I know."
The demon pulled out her knife again and pointed it at the male. "Your answer was stupid. Try again." Well smart real, you dumb a**. 'That answer was stupid'... Your stupid! the little voice in her head peeped up, making the girl growl. "Stupid voice..."

It was true that back then she thought a little more. What had the world done to her? Clearly stereotypes were her poison.

"What are you smoking? How could I ever have met you? And when did I ever think at all?" Kira muttered out confused. It seemed impossible. She was here to scout this village before her army attacked, kidnapping it's children, stealing it's food and destroying the rest. The children would become their next generation of soldiers, and the food would nourish them, since nothing grew on their land. The only people she had met and not killed were the Lostians and Distorts when her people declared war on them.
"Besides the point, how is it you meet me, yet you aren't scared of me? I can be quite scary..." With that, the demon girl grinned. "Clearly, you meet on of my siblings. We all look identical, so I get missed up with them all the time. Wait, if 'I' stole your stuff I swear it was my little sister hau. She steals everything."
