“I’m gunning down romance, it never did a thing for me but heartache and misery. Ain’t nothing but a tragedy. Love don’t leave me. Take these broken wings. I’m going to take these broken wings and learn to fly. And learn to fly away.” -‘Gunning Down Romance’ Savage Garden "Geez 'Ria!! I said I was sorry already! I mean, they just jumped into my hands!" squeaked Reno as he moved backwards across the floor. "What's the one thing I told you NOT to do before I went to lay down!?" yelled Karia "Um.. not to--" Karia interrupted Reno, "TOUCH MY SWORDS!!" "Ok ok! hey hey HEY!! Ok get that sword away from me, especially away from there! Come on! PLEASE!!" begged Reno as a not to impressed Karia pointed a sword at his crotch. "Touch my swords again and you can say bye bye to your friends, got it?" Karia informed with glaring green eyes that shone as if on fire. "Got it, stay away from the swords, keep my jewels, so uh... ya mind?" grinned Reno nervously. Karia sighed and walked away into her room, leaving Reno on the floor. "Phew.." expressed Reno as he brought himself to his feet, "protective or what" he mumbled. "Hey 'Ria, why are you so protective over your WHOA!! shit!" the red head yelled as he turned around. "Goddamn woman, tell me when you're gonna go change would ya!" "For god sakes, it's just my back first off, and second, I didn't expect you to follow me into my bloody room.." walking out of her room with a new pair of black pants on and a white button up shirt she walked over to Reno. "You can look now Turkey, I'm dressed." "Turkey..?" he questioned while giving Karia a strange look. "Yes, that's what I've nicknamed you, heh heh. Geez Turkey your face matches your hair color, how cute!" she expressed with a chuckle. "You get more pissed about me touching your swords than almost seeing you topless.. geez.. talk about wacked or what." mumbled Reno. "Not that I'm complaining or anything so any way, as I was trying to ask before the.. scene.. what's so special about your swords?" "What's it matter to you?" Karia asked as she turned to look at Reno. "Hey hey, just curious. Don't attack me again!" Reno said as he jumped back. "Aww don't worry Turkey, you're safe for now, I'm really easy to get along with as long as you don't touch my swords," Karia said with a wink. "As for the katanas they're well.. they're all I have. They've never let me down, and never will. Unlike people I've met. Let's just leave it at that.." she answered with a sigh then went into her room again. "Hey Reno..?" "Yeah.." he called from where he'd been standing since she'd started to explain. "You have a shower yet?" she called back. "Sadly I did while you were sleeping, what a pity, though if you'd like me to join you for another I'd be glad to!" he called with a smirk on his face. Karia came back into sight, "Sorry Turkey, maybe another time, I've already had mine as well, was hoping for a chance to say 'too late' but I guess I missed out. Gather whatever your taking, we're leaving in 10 minutes." Reno looked back at the sight before him, Karia still had on the black pants and the white button up shirt with the tails hanging out, but she'd added a long black jacket to her attire. A double back hanger was strapped across her back which held home for the two katanas. To complete the picture a pair of sunglasses were propped upon her head holding her hair back out of her face. "Where we going..?" blinked Reno. "We're going back to the family. Tseng's meeting us outside of town at 11pm. So make sure you're ready, because I won't be waiting any longer." "You mean you already have everything you need?" questioned Reno with a confused look. "Yes, all I need are the clothes on my back as well as strength and love." she smirked, "Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not a Barbie doll that needs a bag of make up and clothes, if that's what you're thinking" "No no.. but strength and love? You ah... sure you didn't lose too much blood or anything?" "No you idiot, those are the names of my swords, that's what's inscribed into their hilts. Turkey wake up before you become a sitting duck... again.." she sighed as she sat down in the nearby chair. "Sure whatever you say 'Ria. Can I ask you one more question though?" persisted Reno, even if he were going to ask it regardless of what she answered. "Shoot." "When did you get mako infused, or.. that much of it any way, I thought Turks were infused with the highest amount of mako, yours are a lot brighter than mine or any of the other Turks, soo..." "Let's just leave that as is, it's kinda like my heavy bleeding. Any way, grab your junk, we're outta here," said Karia as she walked out the door, "Oh! And lock the door behind you!" "Yeah yeah.." Reno said as he locked the door, then whispered to himself, "there is definitely something she's hiding... the eyes, strength, the cut in her side, using my attacks, and the fact I can't hear her coming.. Plus the fact she's talked to Rufus, hasn't been killed and no one else knew about it... Something just isn't right.. and I'm going to find out what it is.." |
