RPG Shadow of Roses

[Avalon]

Standing in the shadows, a hooded figure looked out. A black cat purred softly, rubbing its head on the figure's leg. "Now, now, Kyori...I knew I should have done something. Don't patronize me." a soft voice spoke to the cat, taking off the hood.

[i]Well if you were, Midori, how come you didn't do it?[/i] the cat responded, its green eyes flashing in the darkness. She merely strugged her shoulders, while walking to her job.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmm, well if it isn't Midori Sesuki," a man spoke gruffly, seeing the young girl enter. "Where have you been? You're half an hour late!"

Midori sighed tensely, holding Kyori to her, "Yeah, whatever you say, Mr. Soroda. Anyway, here I am. I'll close up shop tonight. Go home and get some rest."

He smiled at her, throwing the keys behind him.
"You be safe now, Midori and try not to let that cat get into all our boxes, ok?" she chuckled amusingly, looking at the clock. "Well, Kyori, two more hours before closing time...what shall we do until then?" she asked, playing with the small flame that was alit in her hands.

[i]For starters, you could practice on your fire arrows with your bow. They're going off target. Or we could just sit back and wait for customers.[/i]she replied, laying on Midori's lap. Midori laughed, seeing the flame grow larger then disappeared.

She sighed suddenly, laying back unto the chair, looking dead at the clock..."Come on, closing time..." she spoke, counting the minutes she would be gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Two hours later~~~~~~~

"Kyori, time to go. Finally, I get to eat!" she yelled, locking the door to the shop. She whirled the keys in her hand as she walked to the japanese restaurant that was near her work...

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Kitsune bent down and lifted Siren, walking her back to her home. He sighed, wondering about the kiss and the way she called him "Fox"....only one person had ever called him "Fox" in his lifetime, no matter how many people he'd told to call him Fox.[/i]

[b]Kitsune:[/b]One wish too many, Kitsune, one wish too many.

[i]He left her at his house, feeling the back of his head as his consciousness waned. He'd been injured, somehow. A large object had smashed into his head. He left the pad on the picture of Siren as he crashed to the floor, unconscious himself.[/color][/i]

[Walnut]

Nan gently helped Tonru up. He seemed to be in quite a lot of pain.

Nan: Are you sure you're alright?

Tonru: Yes, I'm fine

Nan: You're not. C'mon my mum will know what to do

Nan gently though slightly forcefully started to push Tonru out of the park. A small bird chripped near to them, she answered in a similar chirp and grinned as the bird turned and twisted its head at her. Nature was a good thing to have on your side, no matter what.

ooc: Where is CD? I really wanna know what's going on here

[Raquel]

Siren groaned and sat up, steadying herself with one hand as the world spun then settled back into place... Her muscles tensed as she found that this wasn?t her room... She got to her feet and swore as she found Kitsune collapsed on the floor and bleeding sluggishly from a wound in his head...

Siren: Fox? Hold on...

She gathered him into her arms and stood, moving him easily to where she had lain... She dabbed at the back of his head gently, then tore a strip from her shirt and bound the wound with gentle hands? She stood, and a pad of paper caught her eye? She picked it up and stared at a drawing of herself? A smile crept to her lips and she returned to the side of the bed and sat, waiting for Kitsune to awake?

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Kitsune's dreams haunted him. Visions of his father's death, his wounds, his scars, everything came back to him in one night. His restless sleep drove him to the brink of insanity and back. He awoke in a flush of sweat, Siren's name escaping his lips in a low yell. He sat up, clutching his crytsal necklace as Siren lokked at him, a silent tear escaping her eye. She placed a hand on her friend's shoulder, silently edging him to be alright. He reached over and took her hand, squeezing gently as he sat.[/i]

[b]Kitsune:[/b]Siren. No matter what happens, no matter how you feel in return, I want you to know something.

[b]Siren:[/b]What?

[b]Kitsune:[/b]I want you to know....I love you. I don't care how you feel about me in return, but I love you.[/color]

[Queen Asuka]

[color=orangered][size=1]Angelique took off after school on her motorcycle and drove downtown as fast as she could. Of course, she was breaking the speed limit, but otherwise she was going to be late for work. One of her teachers had kept her after class again. He told her that her clothing she wore to school was too provocative and inappropriate. She wanted to drop out of school so bad, but she wanted to prove to her parents that she was someone.

She pulled up beside a very nice restraunt and ran inside. She went in the back and changed into her uniform, a red China dress, and came back up front, ready to clock in. Her manager just glared at her, but she smiled sweetly at him and he just shook his head.

[i]Looks like I'll be sleeping at his place again tonight,[/i] she thought. She was living a harsh life. She made good money at the restraunt and even better money with her "side-job," but she still felt like she wasn't getting no where.[/color][/size]

[Raquel]

Siren watches Kitsune, trying to figure out if he was teasing her or not... Finally she squeezed his shoulder and sighed...

Siren: I... I'm not sure how to react... Having feelings other than rage and hate are not easy for me... I don't understand...

She stood...

Siren: I need to get home... My aunt will be worried about me... Heres my number..

Siren jotted it down quickly, smiled and left... She felt troubled about this sentiment... She blinked when she noticed that she was in the park again... What was the monster that had attacked them?

[Talon]

[color=teal][i]Kitsune's mother walked in, sighing and sitting at her foster son's bedside.[/i]

[b]Ami Katsuhito:[/b]Son, a girl's heart is tough to get into, though it's easy for them to get to you. I know. I had your father after me for a solid year before I even accepted a movie with him.

[b]Kitsune:[/b]I guess you're right. I'll just go to our matroom and practice before resting. I have a lump on my head to rival the one you gave the cook for putting vinegar in the sushi!

[b]Ami:[/b]That bad? Must've hurt! I'll go get the thermometer...

[b]Kitsune:[/b]Oh, mom! Stop fooling around!

[i]Kitsune threw off his sheets, wondering how he'd gotten into bed, and moved to his personal gym. He had a lot of anger to take out, and he proved it by making perfect bull's-eyes with all fifty of his throwing kunais. Practically screaming with rage, he punched the wall as hard as he could until his fist began pouring blood. He cared nothing about what happened in the park. He just cared about Siren. He collapsed to the ground, tears and sobs coming forth rapidly and unrestrainably. He cried well into the night, eventually falling asleep. He was lucky it was Friday night...[/color][/i]
