RPG Knockdown High (PG - VL)

[Redemption]

Sakura just stared at Tom in disbelief.
" Jerk..." she said softly, clenching her fists tightly.
" What did you say?" Tom asked.
" JERK! YOU NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT I HAVE KILLED DID YOU! FOCUSING ON YOURSELF! I DON'T HATE YOU BECAUSE I HAVE KILLED! MY OWN FATHER!" WItht hat, Sakura kicked Tom and sent him flying. Her rage was almost out of control.
" You never thought that I could understand! That I KNEW what it was like to kill!" Sakura transformed into the white tiger she could become and raced off towards her room, feeling like crying!

[SilverCyclone]

Tom stared after her. He had barely noticed the kick, even though it reopened his chest wound.
"She...has killed..."
[I]But how? Someone like her...I didnt think it possible...[/I]
[I]Youve been so focused on hiding from your past, you forget that others have skeletons in their own closets...[/I]
[I]I've been running from my past...from the murder...[/I]
[I]You defended yourself. It was right.[/I]
"He deserved death...no matter what others say...but Sakura..."
[I]You've forgotten that you are not the only one with problems...[/I]
[I]No...I didnt mean....[/I]
[I]You've run from the truth for so long that you've finally collapsed. It's caught up with you Tom.[/I]
"Shut up..."
[I]Its falling apart right in front of you...your watching your life turn to ash...[/I]
"No...Sakura..."
[I]Will never forgive you. Did you see the look in her eyes?[/I]
"...disgust..."
[I]No...rage...she's confused Tom. She doesnt know why you killed, and you dont know why she killed. She doesnt understand how you can assume she never killed. You were blinded by your emotions for her, believing her to be an angel in disguise.[/I]
"Maybe I was wrong...maybe I shouldnt love her..."
[I]You've finally realized it, havent you? How do you plan on redeeming yourself in her eyes now?[/I]
"......."
[I]Its over Tom. Your honor has collapsed because of your pride...you assumed that only you have sinned.[/I]
".....then....do I deserve to live? Do i deserve...Sakura?"
[I]Apoligize to her. Let her decide your fate. Let her decide if you deserve her love. If not...[/I]
"....then I run....like before...but I wont stop....I'll keep running....until death..."
[I]Go apoligize Tom. Ask for her forgiveness. You are...enlightened...in a way. You may still have a chance to redeem yourself...in her eyes at least...[/I]
He slowly stood up. Gripping his chest, he limped into Knockdown High, and headed towards the dorms, following the tracks of Sakura's tiger form.

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System] B.T. continue to watch Taille pound on the punching bag. She turn around and was about to say something and that is when B.T. got a strange feeling. He look at Taille and she was looking out the window. B.T. looked out the window and saw the white tiger running by.

"O..no" thought B.T. "What is she up to? Its 5:14 in the morning...anybody can see her..all that white moving on the dimly lit grounds. Now I'm sure Taille thinks that someone else unless she saw what color I am. Now she thinks there're two tigers on the grounds...or what if...( :wow: )".

"Hey! Did you see tha...B.T. are you ok? Your foaming at the mouth.. ( :confused: )" said Taille.

"O....yea..hurt my toe(she isn't going to buy that! thought B.T.)real badly(I thought of that!)...Ouch." said B.T. "O..I didn't see anything..." said B.T. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[Redemption]

Sakura sprinted through the forest, not caring where she was going. As long as she got as far away from Tom as possible.
[I] How dare he be so inconsiderate!!!!!!!!! He doesn't know a thing about me!!![/I]

After crossing the river and running a few more miles, finally coming to a thicket of olive trees. She tranformed back into herself.
[I] The fool doesn't know why I killed. My father used to touch me all the time. Touch me where a girl shouldn't be touched. I killed him for that. BASTARD![/I]

[SilverCyclone]

Tom crouched. He was losing quite a bit of blood, but he refused to stop moving. He had to find Sakura, and make her understand. Even if she doesnt forgive him, he would take a little peace in that she wouldnt have to deal with him. He clenched his teeth and rose with a low grunt.
"Shes...the tiger...she killed her father....I dont understand what...is going through her mind...SAKURA!"
He shouted into the forest. Grunting again, he head deeper in, leaving a rather large trail of blood behind. His sword dragged limply on the ground. He stumbled and leaned against a tree.
"Sakura...Im sorry...im so sorry..."
[I]You dont deserve her...[/I]
"No...i dont..."
[I]Then why do you continue to follow her? Why do you bother, if you know that you are worthless in her eyes![/I]
"Because...I cant....control my emotions...for her..."
[I]Your a fool...[/I]
"Yeah...your right...maybe I should leave her alone....go off and die somewhere..."
[I]Why dont you?[/I]
"....Im done with you...leave me..."
[I]I saved you...you need me Tom...you need my help to stay alive...[/I]
"Thats what I thought as well. But...using you to hide my emotions..."
He fell to his knees.
"...has just led me further into hell then ever before..."
[I].....[/I]
"I...will know...peace...in death or life...but...I will never know...bliss until..."
He fell forward, finally unable to continue from lack of blood.
"until....I see....her...smile...at me..."
His last sight was the forest spinning around him as a blue flame left his body and dissapeared.
"Sak...ur...a"

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie grabbed BT by the shirt front and wrneched him to his feet.
"You little worm! You know something don't you?"
BT blinked and looked away from her.
"I knew it!"
She threw him out the door and ran down the hall unto something in her chest constricted.
"Wha?.....Tom...."
She changed direction and ran to the woods til she found tom hunched over holding his chest blood coimg from between his fingers.
"TOM! Gods are you-What happened?"
"Sa-kur-a"
"Oh....Tom..."
She put a shoulder under his arm and helped him to his feet walking back to his dorm she placed him on the bed where he promtly fell asleep.
"I think I should pay a visit to Sakura and see if I can help these two out....than again, I'm having troubles of my own with Tobais...He hasn't talked to me since the fights....since I passed out."
She walked away and headed for Sakura's room down the hall.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]"She isn't here." said B.T.

"How did you..How do you.." said Taille

"You know to much." said B.T. "Don't talk about this to anybody. Follow me."

B.T. changed into his tiger form and started running towards the woods.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie blinked but followed none the less, lookin back she could see lights on in Tobais's room. She sighed and looked after BT. At least he seemed remotly interested in her, but so did Tobais, til she passed out...
"What now?"
She looked at him as they stoped. He put his hand on her cheek and she frowned.
"What gonna kill me way out here so no one hears me scream. I'll fight you agian if thats what you want B.T."
BT just shook his head.
"Than what?"
She looked up at him as he looked down at her, eyes emothionless, she couldn't see his face, it was to dark.

[SilverCyclone]

Tom twitched on his bed. He opened his eyes slowly, painfully. He tilted his head, trying to remember where he was.
"...how did..."
He couldnt get up. He was paralyzed from the neck down, though probably only temporarily. He closed his eyes again. He had finally stopped bleeding, and the stain on his chest was only damp, not wet. He breathed slowly. His door was shut, so he didnt have too much to worry about. He drifted back into sleep, his thoughts still on Sakura.
[I]Sakura...please forgive me...[/I]

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]"I can't tell her now...I don't know the feelings that Tobais and her share...everybody see them together...together...can't do anything unti I know...l" thought B.T.

"Ummmm...nothing...I..I think she is this way..." said B.T. turning away.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie grabbed his shirt and pulled him back.
"What? I'm not one to take half-full answers and that one was no where even near full. BT, please, tell me..."
Her eyes were full of trust and she held on to his shirt.
"You and Tobais...how close are you?"
"Aquantiences, he never speaks to me, I dunno if he even knows I exsist. Just fighting partners I geuss, maybe not even that...Why?"
"No reason..."
"BT..."
Her voice began t take on a warnng tone. Her hands gripped his shirt tighter.
"Tell me the reason you had me follow you all the way out here. Now."
She was leaving no room for disscussion. Tallie was getting tired of being left out. It was time for some answers.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]OOC:sorry it short

B.T. turns around and pushs Taille againts a tree. He puts his face right next to hers and wispers in her ear.

"I can't stop thing about you....I never had feelings for someone like this...I..."said B.T.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie felt her-self blush and she shiverd as his breath brushed her neck.
"BT, what are you trying to say?"
"I dunno..."
BT made a move to pull away but Tallie held onto his shirt.
"Don't move? Please? I'm tired of being alone..."
She held onto his shirt and inhaled his scent. SHe felt her-self blush even more.
"Is it because I was the only one willing to fight you? With no repercussions? Is it because I try to be the one to help...I'm to trusting I know that, but...that's who I am and just because I was frmed and sent here when it wasn't my fault...I'm not changing...BT I know what you mean...I thought I like Tobais but, you...I dunno what it is about you but I'm drawn to you, like a moth to flame...I'm just afraid of being burnt..."

[SilverCyclone]

Tom rolled out of his bed painfully. He had spent the last few minutes fading in and out of consciousness. Rising to his feet, he checked the gash on his chest. It was healing, albeit slower then usual. The thought skipped out of his mind as another entered it. What had happened to Sakura? After the fight, she had run off. He didnt remember anything else except blacking out and waking up in bed. He limped out the door, using his sword for support.
"...it doesnt matter how injured I am...I wont stop looking for you..."
He hobbled out of the grounds, entering the forest. He could see his old trail, still red with his blood. He picked up where he collapsed, calling out her name as he navigated the forest.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]"I never want to hurt you..." said B.T. "I just don't to see you get hurt...I ...don't want to leave you alone.."

B.T. wraps his arms around Taille and pull her closer to him.

"I..I think I love you..." said B.T.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie's mind rushed.
"Wh-What?"
She shook her head realeasing all doubt and held onto BT tightly.
"I love you too..."
She pulled back enough to see his fce and without hesitation kissed him fully on the lips. She pulled back and begane to babble apologizes afrais of being rejected.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System] B.T. pulled her in closer and kissed her.

"Taille..." said B.T.

"I love you, I never want to leave you.."[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Akieen Cloud]

Tallie welcomed the embrace, she buried her face in his chest and smiled.
"I won't, I won't go anywhere."
She looked up and gasped as she saw Tom limp across the grounds.
"BT, Tom, he's going to kill him-self searching for her, for Sakura..."
She looked up at him and nodded.
"We have to help them."
He nodded and she smiled at him, she streched up and kissed his lips gently, staying there she whispered against his lips making him shiver.
"I love you."
She took his hand and ran after Tom.
"Look you go and find Sakura, please, I'll go help Tom."
"Right."
She watched as he took his tiger form and ran into the woods. She turned and ran after Tom.
"TOM! Wait up! Let me help you."
"Why? What are you getting out of this tallie?"
"The knowlage that you and sakura will have finally admitted how much you two really love each other. Like me and BT did."
"You and BT?!"
"Yes, Now shutup and Walk."
Tome smiled.
"Thanks.
"Not a problem. You just better not screw up this time Tom."

[SilverCyclone]

He staggered, leaning heavily on the sword. He shrugged off any help that Tallie tried to lend. He continued to walk, every now and then pausing to regain his breath.
"So, you and B.T. huh?"
"Yeah..."
"Congratulations. Actually I am kind of suprised...I didnt think love existed until a few days ago. Even now, Im having doubts...about Sakura...but I hope you and B.T....stay together for a very long time...hehehe..."
He stumbled again, the blade sinking into the ground. His blood spittered onto the ground from his mouth. Tallie tried to help him, but he again shrugged her off.
"Your a good person Tallie...you deserve to love...and be loved...as does B.T....everyone deserves a chance..."
Tom's eyes were half closed from exhaustion. He stumbled more often, but refused to allow Tallie to help him walk.
"I dont deserve her...I know that...but I cant stop searching...not until I hear it from her lips...not until she tells me to leave her will I stop loving her...Heh...listen to me...I sound like a bad movie hero....some...pathetic bastard who believes he's enlightened..."
Tallie walked next to him in silence. He stumbled, falling to his knees. He breathed heavily. Tallie crouched down.
"You shouldnt be doing this to yourself Tom. You'll kill yourself!"
"No...I wont...I...plan on dying in a fight...protecting...everyone I love...not peacefully...not like this...when I go to Hell, I want to be clear on Sakura's feelings...until then...I refuse to die."
He rose and began to walk, leaving a small trail of blood behind, every now and then pausing and calling out for Sakura.

[Darkmark]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=2][FONT=System]Siffing the air around him B.T. continue deeper into the woods searching for Sakura. She is this way. B.T. roared for Taille and Tom to follow.
B.T. keep on running then he heared someone crying. B.T. let out a roar again. And started to go to the sounds of crying but it just stop.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SilverCyclone]

Tom limped faster towards the roar. He found B.T. waiting outside of a thicket. He gestured towards it. Tom nodded, and pushed aside a few branches to find Sakura glaring at him. He froze, recognizing the look. Swallowing, he continued out of the bushes. He stopped just out of reach of Sakura. He didnt say anything, just stared at her. She glared back before losing patience.
"Well?"
"...I...am an asshole...Sakura...please understand. My pride blinded me. I've been so focused on running from my own past that I...forgot that others have skeletons in their closets as well..."
He paused for a second, wincing and leaning heavily on his sword.
"...I dont deserve your love...that I realize...but I deserve a fair answer...regardless of the answer, you will tell me the truth."
Sakura was silent as he regained his breath. He was still bleeding horribly, but he wasnt shaking.
"Sakura, I can never understand why you killed. Nor can you understand why I killed. I wont pretend to understand what happened, its beyond my comprehension. But I am sorry. I have never been so ashamed in my life, but I am truly sorry."
He fell to a kneeling position. He held the sword in both hands in front of him, like a knight swearing fealty.
"Sakura. I ask your forgiveness, even if you cannot love me. If you cant forgive my actions...my pride...then I will understand, and will never trouble you with my presence again."
His eyes were closed, but tears still fell. Tallie and B.T. watched from the bushes.
"Please Sakura...answer me...end my confusion...give me that, at the very least..."
