DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 17

*insert witty description here*

Arthur: "...We could ask tomorrow? After you get some sleep." tamaki: ......... Arthur: "...I could set up a bed for you in the closet...but I think we'll have to tell Shinra." tamaki:.....fine..... Arthur: "..." (crawls under, hugs her) tamaki: !! Arthur: "I'm sorry for what has happened." tamaki:.......... Arthur: "...Is there anything I can do?" tamaki: can i wait here till morning? Arthur: (nods) "We don't have to tell Obi or Hibana until tomorrow..." tamaki:....thanks..... Arthur: "..." (holds her) shinra: well, we didnt find her.... Arthur: o_o shinra:....arthur? Arthur: "Nothing!" (gets up to fast--and hits his head on the bottom of the bed) "Owie!" Shinra: ??? Arthur: (rubs the back of his head) "So, um, no sign of Tamaki?" (edges to the door to lock it) shinra: you ok? Arthur: "S-Sure. Just...Can you keep a secret?" shinra:.........dude. it you're like that, then i have no problem with it, but you really arent my type. tamaki:............*nosebleed* Arthur: -_-; "Not that...In fact, the opposite. Very much the opposite. Totally, heterosexually the opposite." shinra:......sure dude. but just know we accept you, ok? Arthur: (clenched teeth) "Thank you." (clears throat) "I know where Tamaki is. But you can't tell anyone." shinra: seriously? Arthur: (nods) "But we can't tell anyone, not until tomorrow when we ask Obi and Hibana for help." shinra:.....ok. Arthur: "Because Burns has been making things hell there in the 1st, and she is going to ask about transferring here." shinra: seriously? Arthur: "Yeah. Don't you think Obi would be up for letting her transfer?" shinra: hmmmm.....well, i'm sure he'd be open to it....but burns on the other hand.... Arthur: "Well, Hibana is kind of terrifying--maybe she could scare Burns?" shinra: i dont think he scares easily... Arthur: "Hibana is pretty scary." (smirks) "Especially without her makeup..." shinra: or that green stuff. *shudders* Arthur: "See?! I was right! Women look all weird when--" (freezes) "Um...I shouldn't be talking badly about women...not when...when..." shinra: when there are 5 girls here and any of them could kill us painfully? well....except nozomi. she seems harmless. Arthur: "...Six girls." shinra: ???................................. Arthur: (sighs) "Come on out...Tamaki." tamaki: hey. shinra: *JAW DROPS* Arthur: "J-Just, don't say anything, okay? Keep calm, Shinra--" -THUD- -he passed out- Arthur: "...I hope no one heard him collapse." tamaki: get him in here! Arthur: "In where?" tamaki: in the room, dummy! Arthur: (checks outside) "No one in the hallway..." (pulls Shinra further away from the door, shuts it again, locks it twice) "...Now what?" -tamaki has placed him on the bed- shinra:....m-mom..... Arthur: "...Poor guy..." tamaki:...... Arthur: "Let him sleep it off...Can I get you water, Tamaki? Milk?" tamaki: im good. Arthur: "...Set up your bed in the closet?" tamaki: ok. *Arthur lays out a sleeping bag with cushioning underneath, as well as a pillow and sheets* tamaki: thanks. *she places her bag to the side* Arthur: "How's that? Good enough?" tamaki: it'll work. Arthur: "...Need pajamas?" tamaki: i didnt bring any..... Arthur: "O-Okay, you can borrow a pair of mine..." -in the morning- Arthur: *yawn* shinra: *yaaaawns* Arthur: "Oh, good, you're up..." shinra: oh.....hey....i had the craziest dream last night. Arthur: ._.; "R-Really?" shinra: i was attacked by a cat monster and my mom brought be back to safety... Arthur: "...Oh. 'Cat monster'?" shinra: yeah, and it was pretty angry. Arthur: "Uh, dude? Cool it on the 'angry cat monster' talk..." tamaki: screw you too. shinra:...... uhhhhhh......... Arthur: ^_^; "So...Can I keep her?" shinra: *sweats and looks away* Arthur: (still staring at Tamaki...nosebleed) -SMACK SLAP- shinra: ow.... Arthur: (nosebleeding, now for other reasons) "I-I didn't realize you had kitty paw-print panties..." tamaki: shut up. Arthur: "...Well, um, I guess Shinra and I could make it up to you by standing in our undies?" (gets up, starts taking off his pants) shinra: w-wait! tamaki: take his off too. *Arthur rips off his pants* Arthur: "Done!" shinra: i want no part in this! *Arthur, tugging on Shinra's pants* Arthur: "Come on, Shinra! We already saw hers!" shinra: w-wait no!! ???: *knocking on door* "Keep it down in there!" tamaki: O_O;;;;;;; Arthur: (ripped pants off Shinra) "W-What?" *Door knocked down* Takehisa: "Quiet! Some of us are sleep--" *Takehisa sees only Arthur and Shinra, pantsless* shinra:............................................................................... Takehisa: "..." tamaki: *under the bed* *sweats* shinra: *covers himself* NOOOO DONT LOOK! Takehisa: "...Keep down your loud pants-pulling antics. Breakfast is in 10 minutes." Arthur: "Y-Yes, sir!" Hibana: (walking by) "Nice undies, Shinra~" shinra: ./////////////////////////////. iris: *covering her eyes, not daring to peek* eep. Arthur: .\\\\\\\. "Could someone please replace our door?" Hibana: (pulling up Iris's hands) "Enjoy the show, Sister." iris: s-sister stop! >///////////< Hibana: (lets go) "Fine." Arthur: "Just leave us alone! We'll get dressed after we shower!" ("...'Shower'? Oh, God, how is Tamaki going to--?") -at breakfast- Arthur: "..." shinra: Q.Q Akitaru: "You boys need to keep down your play in your room. If you want to play slap-happy fun, okay, but keep it down." maki: sooooooo.....what all went down? Arthur: "N-Not that!" maki: *innocent whistling* nozomi: ????? Arthur: (grumbling...as he slips muffin and other food into his pockets) shinra:..... Takehisa: "I think we should replace the sound-proofing in the walls." shinra: .//////.;;;;; Akitaru: "I'll put it in the budget." Hibana: "Hmm...I'll miss hearing those sounds." (smirks) shinra: Q////Q Arthur: (stands up) "Okay, this joke is officially burnt up! Can we please move on!" (a muffin falls out of his pants' leg) Akitaru: "..." (stares at the muffin on the floor, then up at Arthur's crotch) iris: COMMANDER! D : Akitaru: "Why did a muffin fall out of your pants, Boyle?" Takehisa: "Obviously, he's not chewing enough." iris:............................. -_-; Arthur: "...I have to go now." (runs back to his room, opens the door, shuts it behind him, panting) tamaki: well then.... Arthur: o_o tamaki: you ok? Arthur: "Y-Yeah...Just an experience at breakfast." (gulps) "You look...great." tamaki: thanks. Arthur: (hands her small box of cereal, carton of orange juice, an apple, some bread and a closed small container of jelly, some yogurt--all sealed, none from his pants but from his pockets) tamaki: thanks. Arthur: "...W-Why were you in your underwear this morning if I gave you PJs?" tamaki: >->c-can we talk about something else? Arthur: "O-Okay...H-How is the temperature? Too hot? Too cold? Too average?" -elsewhere- Kid: *yawn* stocking: morning babe~ Kid: (smiles) "Morning, Angel." *smooch on the nose* stocking: hehe~ Kid: "Sleep well?" stocking: yeah.

(kisses her neck) stocking: indeed~ Kid: (places a hand along her right breast) "Shall we enter the shower?" -later- Kid: (smiles contently) stocking: ahhhh, that felt so good. Kid: (chuckles) "We were supposed to be getting clean, but that felt so dirty..." stocking: yeah, haha. Kid: (kisses her cheek) "Thank you." -at school- Arthur: ._____.; shinra:............... iris: you two are awfully quiet... Arthur: "NOTHING IS WRONG!" shinra: *silent* Arthur: "..."

Akitaru: "..." (leans back) "You ever talk with Leo Burns?" gabriella: not really. Akitaru: "He is one intense dude. Officially, Tamaki has violated protocol and has to be punished. Personally, I completely get her reasons for running away..." (glances at a photo on his desk) gabriella: *she looks at the photo* *It's of a woman and a child* gabriella:.............. i guess i can understand as well.... Akitaru: "...How long you been working with Hibana?" gabriella: about two and a half years, before that, my life.....it wasnt that great. Akitaru: "...Yeah." (stands up, stretches) "Hibana isn't that bad. Glad she has your back." gabriella: *she smiles* she gave me purpose in life, and i'll always be grateful for that. Akitaru: "..." (smiles pats her shoulder) "She's lucky to have you." -elsewhere- Yumi: "Just a few more months." lord death: *squeeee* Yumi: (chuckles) "Yes, I'm excited too." (kisses his cheek) lord death: *nuzzles her stomach* Yumi: (smiles, blushing a bit) "A lot of work is before us..." lord death: indeed.... Yumi: "You know what I want after she is born?" lord death: what? Yumi: "Aside from giving all the love in the world we can to our kids?" (traces finger along Death's chest) "I have ideas." lord death: ...... o/////////////////////o Yumi: "You have ideas right now, too?~" -elsewhere- Killbell: "When does the baby come out of the Snake Witch?" milia: *shrug* Ponera: "How many months are you, Medusa?" (knitting baby clothes) medusa: 4 months now. Ponera: "You are glowing! You look far cuter rather than menacing now!" shaula: and a whooole lot fatter. medusa: fuck you shaula. Ponera: "Shaula, be kind. The baby needs that extra weight to survive!" shaula: >3> Ponera: "???" -elsewhere- Patty: "Hey, Iris! Do you have a moment?" iris: hmm? sure, what is it? Patty: "Shinra and Cutie-Patootie Arthur seemed a little on edge today. What's up with them?" iris: i dont know. but i am worried. perhaps i could ask them? Patty: "Yeah, I would say so. Need any help?" iris: dont worry, i'll handle it. Patty: "Good luck!" (pat on the back) Arthur: "Oh, Iris, it's good to s--" (freezes, gasps at seeing Patty) "Oh no! -after school- Arthur: "..." shinra: do we tell them or what? Arthur: "L-Let's try Commander Obi alone...Maybe see him in his office?" shinra: sounds good.... *They approach his office and knock* Akitaru: "Come in!" shinra: hey commander. Akitaru: "Howdy! What's up?" shinra: ..... *nudges arthur* Arthur: "Tamaki!" Akitaru: "...Um...Arthur, I know you're worried about her, but trust me, I'm sure she is safe. Right, Shinra?" shinra: she's definitely safe. Arthur: "...And closer than you think..." Akitaru: "...No. No. Guys, no. No. Please tell me 'no.'" shinra:..... *nervous smile+sweats* Arthur: "...Sorry." Akitaru: "..." (stands up, goes to wall--and taps his forehead against it) "Burns is going to kill me." shinra:....... Akitaru: "What were you two thinking?!" shinra: arthur was the one who let her in. Arthur: "Sh-She had been locked up for weeks! She wants to transfer! She can't stand Burns! Sir, please! You have to help her!" Akitaru: "...She in your room? Take me there." shinra:...... *They arrive at the door* Arthur: "..." (does a complicated knock as code to Tamaki) tamaki: ye-....!!!! Akitaru: (eyebrow raise) Arthur: "H-Hi?" tamaki: *she jumps back with claws* just stay back! Akitaru: (steps back) "Easy. Just here to talk." tamaki:............ Akitaru: "...Why did you leave the 1st, Soldier?" tamaki:........... Akitaru: "...Burns, huh?" -perhaps talking to her as a person than a soldier might help? she seems upset- Akitaru: "...Tamaki, do you know why I came to the 8th?" tamaki:.....didnt you start this branch? Akitaru: "Yeah. And do you know how many times I wanted to run away from it?" Arthur: "?!" tamaki:.............. Akitaru: "I wanted to run from being a firefighter, run from being commander here...run from my responsibilities." (pulls out a piece of paper) "Read this." tamaki:..... *she looks at it* *APPLICATION TO THE 8TH BRIGADE* tamaki:.........i-i'll consider it..... Akitaru: "Please do. An adult doesn't run away from their responsibilities..." (smiles) "...but sometimes you just adjust how you address those responsibilities." tamaki:....do you mind if i stay here a while? Akitaru: "Sure thing! So, you've been sleeping in Arthur's bed?" tamaki: i've been in the closet! shinra: in a sleeping bag. Akitaru: "Okay, okay!" (laughs) "But I think we better let the others know--and swear them to an oath of secrecy." Arthur: o\\\\\o shinra: sounds good. tamaki: please dont let burns or the others know i'm here... *The meeting begins* Hibana: "...Are you fucking kidding me?" maki: awww, how sweet. Takahisa: "...I'm telling Burns." (stands up) Akitaru: "?!" Hibana: > : ( *Who will stop Takahisa?* iris: wait! Takahisa: "???" nozomi: cant you see she's been put through enough, where's your sympathy?! Takehisa: "We have rules. Rules are meant to be followed." Hibana: (eyeroll) nozomi: but what's more important, rules or morality? isnt it our job to help people in need? Takehisa: "Hmph. I fail to see the problem of Burns's conduct. When I was a child I--" (pauses, thinks...eyes get wet, shivers) "N-Nevermind. She can stay. Temporarily. A week at most. Maybe a month." maki:...... tamaki: thanks, i want to stay here at least until things cool down at the 1st. Takehisa: "S-So we're in agreement? Good."

Death the Kid: Akitaru: "Make it official. Show of hands to keep Tamaki's presence here a secret?" Arthur: (raises his hand) Takehisa: (trembling as he raises his) Hibana: (raises hers--and pulls up Gab's) maki: yep. iris: of course. shinra: i'm in. nozomi:... yes. Akitaru: (raises his) "Just leaves you..." (looks at Tamaki) tamaki:.... *she nods* yeah. Akitaru: "Great! Now, let's move you out of your love shack with Arthur and Shinra and into another room." tamaki: oh shush.... nozomi: she could stay in my room for now. Akitaru: "Super! Tamaki, need help moving?" tamaki: i can fit most of my stuff into my bag, so i think i can manage. Akitaru: "Okay, then. Well, get moved, and we'll get to making dinner. What do you like?" -later- Arthur: "H-How do you feel about all of this?" tamaki: a lot better. at least i dont have to sneak around anymore... but if anyone comes at the door, i'll have to hide. Arthur: (nods, takes her hand) "We're not giving up on you, Tamaki." tamaki:.....thanks. Arthur: "..." (leans closer) tamaki: ah.... Arthur: "Would you...I mean could I...k-ki-kiss you?" tamaki: .//////////. Arthur: (pulls back) "S-Sorry. We don't h-h-have to." tamaki: it's fine. Arthur: "..."

Solence: "...You're going to kill me, aren't you?" ???: oh no no no, you're too valuable an asset to just kill off. Solence: "No one is making me feel like I'm not going to die!

Wes: "Well, we're here...See you tomorrow?" liz: sure thing. Wes: "..."

Kid: "Agreed..." (chuckles) "We're only getting better." stocking: *she smiles* i see you've been taking lessons from those books i lent you~<3 Kid: (pats her bottom, then massages it) "It's been informative. Wouldn't you say so?" stocking: indeed. hehe~ Kid: (puts his arms around her, drawing her nearer as he faces her) "How many years has it been since our first date?" stocking: about 2-3? Kid: (blushes a bit) "I-I remember being so nervous during our first time." stocking: i do too. Kid: "..." (holds her hand, rubs it) "Thank you for your patience with me."

(sips on coffee) "Ugh, tension headache." ??: oh really? Kepuri: "Yeah, really. But I have an idea. It just means getting an interview with DWMA IT." -elsewhere- Yumi: (staring at a letter, sweating) "Oh no..." lord death: is everything ok? Yumi: "I-I don't know.

Kid: "S-So, maybe we should venture over there!" (points in the direction *away from the lingerie store*) stocking: ok. Kid: ("Thank goodness I already finished shopping there..." points to record store) "I think Mother could use some new songs for Christmas." -elsewhere- Shotaro: "Mana, Yohei told me we're doing Dokeshi hide and seek throughout Death City this weekend. Where should I hide?" mana: *whispers* Shotaro: "Oooooooh! Good one! Thanks!" -later- Patty: (sipping on her drink) "Any plans for you happy couples this weekend?" stocking: perhaps we could do a double date? Kid: (smiles) "I'd like that. Liz?" liz: i'll ask. Kid: (smiles) "Maybe go to a club?" stocking: sounds fun. Kid: "Any recommendations, Liz?" liz: i know this really cool place called 'the tomb' Kid: "Oh, rather gothic, I take it?" liz: i guess. stocking: ooooh. *shiny eyes* Kid: (chuckles) "I think that's three for the Tomb. And given Wes's time around ghosts, I doubt he'll turn down this opportunity to see Death Children activities in person." -and so- Yohei: "Hmmm...I do have two faint blips in Death City. Mana, you sure Shotaro hid like I told him to?" mana: *she nods* Yohei: "Hmmm...This signal is closer, so I'll follow it. You coming or have somewhere else to be?" mana: *she follows* Yohei: "Hmmm..." *Yohei and Mana follow the signal down a few streets until arriving at...* Yohei: "...You have to be kidding me." -there is a playground, where aimi is playing- Yohei: (checks his Dokeshi Watch) "Hmmm...Wonder whether Shotaro or Chie are actually here. Or we got another Dokeshi around here." aimi: ~? ah! big bro yohei! *hugs his leg* Yohei: (blushing) "H-Hey, kiddo...Um, how are you?" aimi: good. i'm in a new school now and made lots of new friends. Yohei: "That's good. You've been behaving in school?" aimi: *she nods* Yohei: (pats her head) "Good. Hey, have you seen that girl I was with when we first met you and your father?" aimi: hmmmm.....no. just big sis minori. she's not really my sister, she's just looking after me while daddy's at work. Yohei: "Okay. Well, at least this watch found you. I guess that's something." aimi: woooow. -elsewhere- Arthur: (smiles) tamaki: mmmm~ thanks for the lunch. Arthur: "You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it." maki: how do you like the octo sausages? tamaki:...cute i guess. 7///7 Arthur: *awkward cough* "So...um, anything we else we can do for you?" tamaki: i'm good for now. i should learn to make better bentos. iris: Q.Q shinra: *pats her back* Arthur: "You okay, Iris?" iris: *nod* -iris is sad because she almost burnt the whole kitchen to a crisp- Arthur: "...Maybe we can cook with you, Iris?" iris: i-i appreciate it. ^^ Arthur: (smiles) "Hey, Tamaki, how are your cooking skills?" tamaki: i can cook....to an extent..... i can use a microwave and make small snacks. Takehisa: (eyeglasses shine) "Then perhaps I need to teach you all how to actually cook..." (sinister grin) everyone: *sweats* Arthur: "...Oh, look at the time! Tamaki and I have a thing!" (grabs her hand, runs) shinra: 0-0; Takehisa: "...Well, I'll just have to take on other students..." (stares at Shinra) -meanwhile- Black Star: (high-pitched scream) soul: dude, whats wrong?! Black Star: "Something just popped up out of the dumpster!" soul: ?!?! ???: "Shhh...I'm hiding..." soul: *he peers in* Shotaro: "Hi." soul: gah! Shotaro: "Want some chips?" (holds up a half-eaten bag of chips) soul: im....good. Shotaro: (shrugs, munches) "Just don't tell Yohei." soul: you in trouble? Shotaro: "No, just hiding so he can test his new watch." soul: ah. *bing bing bing* soul: ?? Yohei: "He's close, Mana..." mana: hmm? oh, hey it's those two other guys from the tournament. soul: hey we have names you know. Yohei: "Oh, hey, Soul." Black Star: (fuming that Yohei and Mana don't know his name) mana: oh yeah, you're 'Hei-Xing' right? Black Star: (frowns) "Black Star. Just Black Star, regardless what language it's in." (smiles, then poses) "And I see that in any language, I am still a phenomenon whose name transcends all tongue!" (bishi sparkle) mana: -_-; Yohei: "Yeah, great." (glances at the dumpster) "So, Mana, I'm betting on it being Shotaro in that dumpster, not Chie." mana: *whistling* Shotaro: (from the dumpster) "There's no one in this dumpster. Not at all." Yohei: "..." (looks at Mana's soft drink--snatches it, opens the dumpster, dumps its contents into the dumpster) Shotaro: "Hey!" mana: D : < Shotaro: (emerges) "Darn...I thought this was a great hiding place." (looks at Soul, then at Yohei) "Wait, Yohei, since when did you have a brother?" mana: this is the guy from the tournament, soul. soul: hey. Shotaro: "Oooooh..." (looks at Black Star) "So...you like comics?" Black Star: "...Charisma Justice?" Shotaro: "Hell yeah! Justice Blade!" *Black Star and Shotaro start a Justice Blade dance-off* soul: *sweatdrop* -elsewhere- Patty: (holds up a dress for Liz) "How 'bout this one?" liz: it's nice, but it seems a bit too.....er....flashy. Patty: "What, you don't like something bright and shiny and showing off your goods?" liz: ehhh.... (thinking: i may as well be showing up in my underwear in that!) Patty: "Hmm..." (holds up something more modest but sleeveless) "And you could pair it with that cute jacket..." liz: that could work. *she smiles* Patty: (serious face) "How are things with Wes?" liz: doing pretty good. i think soul's been doing a lot better too. Patty: "That's good...You like Wes?" liz: of course i do. Patty: "...You two say you love each other?" liz: ./////////////////////. Patty: "Guess not." (pats her head) "All in good time, Lizzie." -and so, the day of the double date arrived- Kid: "You look gorgeous, Love." stocking: thanks. it was nice of patti to lend me something. Kid: (nods) "Looks great!" Wes: "Y-You look great, too, Liz. I like the jacket." liz: thanks ^^ Wes: "S-So, shall we go inside?" -they enter- stocking: woooow! Kid: "Ha ha ha!" Wes: o___o "This is...busy." liz: o-o Kid: (shouting over music) "Shall we get a drink or dance?" stocking: how about a few drinks? Wes: (struggling to shout) "Sounds good! Um, Liz? Is that good?" liz: *she nods* -a few patrons are dressed in gothic attire, one male has white face paint with dark eyes and 5 lines down his lips and chin- Kid: "What will you have, Stocking?" stocking: hmmmm... i think i'll have the bat wing special. Wes: "Oh, what's that one like?" -so they order their drinks- Wes: (sips) "Hmm...That's actually good." liz: not bad. Kid: (nods) "So, Liz, how many months have you two been dating now?" liz: well, i guess about.... since this august? Wes: (smiles) "I guess we'll be celebrating a four-month anniversary, then?" liz: i suppose. hehe. Wes: "What is best for that anniversary?" (Smirks) "Paper anniversary? Or jump straight to diamonds?" -elsewhere- Yohei: "Ugh...Mana, get Shotaro home...and give him a bath." mana: sure thing. -_-; chie: ^^; Shotaro: "Can it at least be a bubble bath?

Hibana: "Could say the same to you! What part of 'not a good idea' will you not hear?!" shinra: ??? (thinking: _what's_ not a good idea?) Akitaru: (sighs) "Look...J-Just give it some thought. It may help us to finally--" Hibana: "Fine!" (pushes the door open) shinra: *knocked to the floor* ow....ok.... that hurt. iris: ah!! Hibana: "?!

Hibana: "Just walk in and think we can grab the 1st's material for blackmail?! Are you nuts?!" (aims for his crotch) Akitaru: (struggling to hold) "Would one of you help me?!" maki: ok time out everyone, let's start from the beginning. Hibana: "...Fine." Akitaru: (sits up) "Why is Burns so cagey? We need evidence to find out the answer-- shinra: answer? Akitaru: "To a lot of questions...Because I've seen people mourning. That's not what Burns is doing." iris:......... tamaki:...................... Hibana: "You seriously want to make enemies of the 1st? When they learn Tamaki is here, what do you think will happen?' tamaki: !!!! Akitaru: "And if we want to protect her, we need something on Burns!" Arthur: (puts a hand on Tamaki's shoulder) tamaki: w-what are you planning.... Akitaru: "You know what Burns is like: we'll need you to tell us how to get to him, get past him, get past your colleagues in the 1st, and find whatever is hidden in that division." tamaki: after what happened recently, i feel like i hardly know him.... Akitaru: "...What gets under his skin?" tamaki: insubordination for one... Akitaru: "Hmm...Difficult to get more insubordinates in his organization." Hibana: (eyeroll) "Maybe we can predict his work schedule and infiltrate his place while he's out." shinra: hmmm..... Akitaru: "And since sending Tamaki back as a mole inside the 8th is not an option, we need something else...Don't suppose any of you want to transfer over there? Hibana? Takehisa? Maki?" nozomi: i'll go. they dont know about my joining here... Akitaru: "Great!" Hibana: "Wait--you sure about this, kid?" nozomi: *she nods* Hibana: "I-I don't like this. Kid, if you find yourself in any trouble, you bolt, got it?" nozomi: ok. Akitaru: "Come on--let's get you packed, Nozomi." Arthur: "...I don't like this...sending a princess into the dragon's pit." nozomi: i'll be ok, dont worry. Arthur: "..." Hibana: "..."

(his hand slides down her backside and around...) -meanwhile in the other closet- arachne: 0-0;;; Giriko: "...Um, am I doing it wrong?" arachne: n-no, i just didnt think the reaper boy would be bringing his girlfriend here.....

Black Star: "I need help with mastering controlling my wavelength." shinra: uh....i'm not sure how to do that either ^^; Black Star: "Really? But you look so wimpy that I thought you were exerting control over yourself." shinra: !! -cartoon arrow goes through shinra's chest that reads 'wimpy'- oh....really now? Black Star: "Yeah! Hey, what's your max on bench pressing?" shinra:................*curls up into a ball of sadness* wimpy.....wimpy...... Black Star: "...Doc? I broke another tutor!" soul: niiiiice.

(Runs with Shinra--into a wall) -later- Kid: "Stocking..." stocking: hmm? what is it? Kid: (whispers in her ear) "Thank you again for last night." stocking: no problem~ Kid: (whispering again) "Maybe, another time, we could try...somewhere else." (points to a school closet) stocking: sounds a bit risky... Kid: (smirks, whispers) "Makes it more fun." (pulls back, louder) "But I understand." (holds her hand) "I'm just happy being right here, right now with you." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (whispers) "But I must admit, since that dance club, I have felt far more...amorous than usual." stocking: *she kisses his nose* you are a cute little dork you know that?

What if she is trying to find one of their previous lairs?" liz: maybe, but baba yaga's castle is all in ruins.... Kid: "What about the other Gorgon Sister? What of her lairs?" liz: nothing known.... Kid: "...Maybe a little research would help. Or maybe sending investigation teams to Medusa's old lairs in case she has been back to them." liz: that may work... Kid: "I hope so. At the very least, it's something to do." (looks out window) "You know, aside from building snowmen." liz: yeah, haha.

Arthur: "Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with something, Gabriella." gabriella: hmm? Arthur: "Could you hide this in your room? I'm worried Shinra or Tamaki might find it in my room..." (pulls out a small giftwrapped box from his bookbag) "Tamaki was asking about a game, and I wanted to surprise her..." gabiella: sure. Arthur: (hands her the box) "Thanks. Don't worry, I'll give it to her this weekend, so you only need to hide it for a few days." gabriella: sure thing. Arthur: "Thanks. Well, I better get to homework. Later." -elsewhere- Yohei: (on balcony, smoking) chie: you warm enough? it's pretty chilly out.. Yohei: "Oh, hey...Yeah, I'm pretty cold."

What about you--aren't you cold?" chie: considering i'm indoors.... Yohei: "...Want to step out and join me? Or should I finish this smoke and join you for some tea?" chie: the latter. Yohei: (puts out his cigarette on the ashtray, brings in the entire ashtray...winks at Chie as he enters) chie: .///. ~?

I asked the DWMA for more help, but I don't know whether they can let someone join us freelancers..." chie: .....have they replied? Yohei: "They said they're thinking about it. Try pinning down the Grim Reaper to commit to something--it isn't easy." Yohei: "I'll talk with that Death Scythe tomorrow to get him to commit some DWMA help. We're going to need it." chie: ok.... Yohei: "...Better get some good sleep tonight. You going to be okay?" chie: y-yeah......

Friend: "To help you put Hibana six feet under." ???: how did you get this number? Friend: "I have my ways. You'd be amazed what a computer can do." ???: hmmm......where are you right now? Friend: "Wherever you want me. Name the place." ???: there's an old subway system across from the casino near grissom. Friend: "Good choice!

I want her to suffer as I had to." ???: oh? Friend: (takes the glove off one hand, showing burn marks) "Yes. One of her...hobbies." ???: !!!!! Friend: "I want her to suffer. I want her to lose everything. And when she is completely alone, the last thing she will hear is my laughter as I snuff out her flame." ???: .......*small smirk* Friend: "Will you help me?" ???: for now, yes... *she takes out a lighter and turns it on, creating a small snake from the flames* Friend: (backs away) "O-Okay...J-Just, keep the flame to yourself, please." ???:......very well. *she puts it out* Friend: "Th-Thanks. Now, you obviously have skills with the flame, but I think you need help isolating Hibana." ???: and how do we do that? Friend: "You see those girls around her? The small nun and the toady? I think kidnapping them should be easier than taking out multiple fire beings, yes?" ???: *grimace* oh...them..... Friend: "I think we can isolate them, divide them...demoralize them." (sneers) "And what better day, when no one is available to help them, then on Christmas?" ???: perfect.... Friend: (chuckles) "Good. Now, let's determine how best to separate them."
