Sept 11, 2007
Kojiro scratched his head in confusion, she actually lived here? "So this is want you meant, I didn't know you lived here. Impressive." He loosened his tie as he tried to ride himself of the formallity that came with the suit, struggling to remove his contacts he placed them in the case and returned them to his pocket. His attention went back to Beth she was very mysterious, alomst to an alarming degree. How did she first learn of him, she said she had her eye on him for a while, what did that mean? Pulling his fingers through his hair he frizzled it back up to its normal appearance, which gave him the wild untamed look. "This should turn to be quite interesting." He was of course talking about the chit chat they where going to have.
Laughing as her companion was pleasingly startled, she headed into the building and they rode up the elevator. But at the top floor, she stuck a key in and pushed the "Door Open" button. The back of the elevator slid open and she tapped his shoulder. "This way, love." Stepping into the immense livingroom, he would see a grand fireplace roaring and elaborate furnishings. Swords and shields and weapons spanning centuries of time were decorating the room. She knew her collections. Though some seemed replicas, they were all of elaborate well made swords. Over the fireplace was a replica of his own sword. She stood to the side and watched him move about the room. "My mother's mother was queen of the Sidhe. While my mother married mortal men, I was conceived from immortal loins."
She shrugged off her cloak and walked to the middle of the room. Arms wide in offering of her life, she knew the motion would mean something to him. "I have lived nearly as long as you and will continue to live long after most will die. That is why I refused the jail cell. I would have been found out." She waited till he looked back at her. "You can strike me down, let me live, stay with me or walk out that elevator door and I will never speak your name. The choice is yours."
Kojiro took off his suit jacket and found a suitable to place it, afterwords he moved to the center of the room and embraced Beth from behind, kissing her on the tip of her ear. "I'm aware that I can leave Elezebeth, but I have yet to do so. And I told you before, your much too beautiful for me to bring harm to you." Her plight made much more sense now that he had learned of her race. "But how did you learn of me, my whereabouts, my race..." He loked at the replica of his katana and laughed- "My sword.."
She let her arms drop and fold over his, once more tilting her neck as he kissed. "Thank you..." As he laughed at the replica she smiled and leaned her head back on his shoulder. They were nearly the same height with her in heels. "THAT's the replica I was talking about at dinner. It is steel edged, to be sure, but the rest is made from pictures and memory." She sighed. "I remember you from my childhood, to be honest. My grandfather fought beside you in one of the battles of the last world war. He told me that if I ever needed a more honorable warrior than could be found around me, to hunt you down." She tilted her head to glance into his eyes whispering, "So I did.... I even fought beside you once just to see your honorable side. Every kill was clean. Never left one to suffer, and," she smiled turning to face him, still in his arms as her own rested now on his chest. "do you remember a young man, outnumbered two to one, in Kanioko, in the last month of the battle. You came to his rescue and told him to go home and let real men do the fighting?" She watched to see if he made the connection. "It was me. I used glamour to hide what I was so I could see you for myself." She bit her lip and looked down running her hand over the white expensive shirt as she waited to hear his reaction.
He paused confirming that he vaguely remembered the Kanioko incident.- "That's funny. So you just wanted to witness my swordplay? But you give me too much praise, I am not at all honorable, trust me. I didn't leave straglers on battlefields because of my compassion." He indeed had honorable aspects, but he like he said, was for the most part, merciless. He was truly a monster, the real horrors he did didn't make it into any books or headlines, they where embedded into his memory. They haunted him, but also kept him remotely human. "Tell me more about yourself, are you the last of your race beth?" Hisquestion derived from what she said earlier, only 4 time wanderers existed besides the two of them, was she the last faerie?
She listened as the pain and memories filled his voice. She looked up and nodded silently. Moving slowly from his arms, she moved to sit on the couch. "My family chose exile which means a willed death at their own hands. Only one blade has the power to strike an instant death blow to a Fae." She nodded to a steel edged, velvet lined case of harder than glass case hidden half in shadows at the back of the room. Alti'ui Elggur is the "Wing Killer" meant to kill faeries. It's metal is deadly to the touch to us. I cannot even handle it." She sighed. "I want Excalibur, not to sell to the highest bidder, but make the government think it has been. As well as all those seeking it. Perhaps, like the old arms race of centuries ago, I can stop this technology war and end it. If they believe the ultimate weapon is out there, perhaps this will become a corporation seeking resolution possibilities." She shook her head laughing and leaned back covering her face to keep the tears at bay murmuring thru her hands. "I am tired of being Lady Death, Kojiro..."
The silence was long and uninterrupted. She had so many levels to her that Sho never really knew if he had gotten past her guard. He was a living paradox himself, he loved death. He bathed in the blood of warriors as if they where puppets for his enjoyment. But there was anotherside of him, the side that hated what he had done and want to repent for it. This side tried to compensate for its sins with acts of honor, but it was in vain. Kojiro sat beside Beth and embraced her as she wept- "I know not what to say, but that your plight will not be in vain. Your suffering will be realized with the success of your dreams. But I may hold you back love. I bask in blood I don't know if I'm...good for you.." His eyes closed as he sunk into the abyss that was his mind.-

She leaned against his strong body for some time. Her tears ceased as she let him think. Softly she finally whispered. "Kojiro... I used to kill. A lot... But I cannot slughter without reason. The war ended and I felt lost. It seemed creating weapons was the best I could do. But I hadn't planned on creating the LAST weapon mankind would ever need. The options and possibilities of Excalibur's technology are endless." Sitting up she smiled softly as he looks as her. "I fear not your bloodthirst, Sho... I envy you still having a purpose. Perhaps we can temper one another... I can bask in the glory of your kills and you can seek solace in my calm?" She watched to see if this was something he would laugh at as impossible, or realize the question she asked expanded beyond the simple task of stealing the sword for her.
Kojiro was at a loss for words,was she serious? Willing to accept his violence with open arms, she exhibited every possible trait he needed in a counterpart, but it was just so convient, so simple. Quite frankly it was scaring him. "Ill stay around for as long as you desire my presence..as long as you stay true." His words echoed through the room as if speaking his last, but seemed to be sincre about what he said . Perhaps she had found a kink in shos armor.
"You seemed quite determined to find me, and it really does show your resolve. I hope you will not falter, things will not always be this tranquil, Excalibur is far too important for blood not to be spilled. Are you prepared?" His voice was deathly low as if he was whispering the most gentle secret in the word, he had to make sure his actions would not taint the light in her spirit.
She nodded and bit her lip. Somethng told her she had just made a deal with the devil, but she was no angel herself, so what did it matter. She rose and headed into the master suite speaking as she went. She left the door open, in reflection in the mirror across the room, or if he rose, he would see what she was doing. "I know blood will be shed. But to be honest, I can't be the one seen shedding it. I will help you and not merely sit back and watch." She licked her lips remembering the coppery taste of sprayed blood on her lips from her first kill. It was like sex... you never forget the first time. Setting the toe of her shoe on the bed, her leg exposed ot her thigh, she began to unlace and remove the intricate shoe. Then she moved to the second shoe. There was a soft growl of irritation as the knot wouldn't loosen for her. "This is merely something I cannot do the final action for. I cannot be the black shadow that grasps the prize.... damn it..." Frustrated she stomps her foot hoping to ease the staps on the shoe and lifts her foot up once more to try again. Her body, from his view eas bent over farther than it should be giving him a nice view of the side of her breast as well as the line to her hip. Either she was wearing scantily made thong panties, or didn't have any on past the top of that garter.
Stretching out on the couch he had a pretty good view inside Beths bedroom, and even more so of her beautiful body. The relaxation would only last briefly a loud thump came from above as Kojiro growled- "...?" the noise was ominous and he was enough to make Kojiro grab his katana as walk toward the window. "...somethings wrong.." He unsheathed the blade just as a man on a zip wire crashed through the window, he caught a swift blade to the helmet. 5 other special forces members crashed through at the same time, while a loud thud was blasting at the elevator door. Kojiro growled yelling back toward Beths room- "Beth!"
She came out at the sound. "WHAT THE HE..." But her voice was cut off as two members rushed her as the other three surrounded Sho. She ran back into the bedroom and slammed the door giving her time to glance around her room. She only had the short dagger under her pillow. As the door crashed open, she flung herself towards the bed and the dagger there. "AAHHH" Her startled cry came as a hand grabbed her foot. She rolled to her back and kicked her bare heel into his chin forcing him to let go. Her cries and gasps could be heard from the livingroom as she scrambled for the dagger.
The three men took a triangle offense around Kojiro. Kojiro didn't have time to play cat and mouse he grabbed the first intruder by the throat, twisting him around so he could receive the hail of bullets from his two comrades. Kojiro didn't waste anytime, after flinging the mans body. He grabbed the second mans gun and shoved the barrell into his helmet. The man pulled the trigger instinctively blasting his own brains out. The last man had gotten the jump on Kojiro, but was impaled and then kicked out the window.
Running at full speed kojiro slammed into the first armored intruder knocking him into the door of the bedroom. The one who had his clenches on Beth suffered the most, Kojiro severed his hands and flung him into a wall as blood sprayed from his apendages. He was screaming in agonizing pain. Kojiro inspected Beth to see if she had been harmed, quickly before going to interrogate the man he left alive. "Who sent you here" The guy didn't waste anytime, he blurted Rins name out immediately before Sho finished him off. This whole thing had just stepped out of mere business and into a war.
Beth, not thinking the release on her legs was due to Sho, rolled and grabbed her dagger. As Sho turned to face her, she would be kneeling on the bed, knees wide for balance, dagger drawn and in her hand. Her dress torn int he struggle, chain missing so the front wasn't held together well, her body sprayed in blood. Her hair was scattered as if she had just risen from bed, but the illusion of lust wasn't there. Only the raveged look of a struggle. Her thigh was bleeding where one of the men had drug his nails down the skin. Looking at him as her chest heaved with her pants she whispered not trusting her voice. "Are they dead?" Her body was glowing slightly as if moonlight were trying to burst free of her, and her eyes shoone unlike any mortal could create even with contacts.
It was the affect of blood on her Sidhe flesh. To draw the warrior out of her and make her more appealing to attack. Almost as if she were a siren.
He looked at her and nodded before looking back at the body and contemplating the situation- Did Rin follow them here? It wouldn't have been hard. Kojiro stood up sheathing his katana, the excess blood dripping from the hilt. "I should have known better. It was too easy for them to follow us here." He looked back at the bewildered beth who wasn't seeming to respond to well to the whole thing, Kojiro could see the physical changes on her body. "Are you okay beth? He didn't hurt you did he?" He spotted the cut on her thigh and went over to inspect it, it didn't look too bad. "You'll be fine, we can wrap it up if you want."
She looked down at the cut on her leg. She couldn't feel it. How odd. Almost in slow motion, her fingers went down to run over the scratches. Drawing her fingers to her lips, she didn't so much lick the blood off, as smear it over her lips then lick them. As she loked back at Sho, he would realize the error o his initial judgement. She wasn't handling this badly... she was on the edge of battle rage fenzy. The point where reason leaves the warrior and blood and death are all they crave. The line of her body was taunt as she fought to stay on the sanity side of the battle rage.
Kojiro grabbed ahold of Beth and shook her slightly, she looked to be stuck in a trance it was quite unsettling. All the normality in her eyes and the hue of her body where gone, she looked about as human as he did in this state, and that wasn't good. "You have to snap out of it love, the authorities will be here, have to either leave her and escape or prepare ourselves for their investigation"

"Authorities?" Her eyes looked blankly at him and slowly closed as if she were passing out. She inhaled once or twice and he could feel a tingle on her skin but then it faded. When she opened her eyes she smiled and lifted a hand to his cheek whispering. "See... you are helping already." She slowly let him bring her to her feet and she used the back of her hand to smear the blood from her lips. "We can't escape. We have to make this look like JUST what it was. An attempt on my life. It's happened before." She went under her pillow and resheathed the dagger. They won't search the place and if they did, so what. She had nothing to hide. Turning back to him she smiled. "You may want to put the contacts back in love. I need Marcus here to comfort me. And your blade, needs to go in the vault.
We will use the replica over the fireplace. Shoving it into one of the already made wounds will show its the blade that made them." Suddenly she was herself again. Not caring that she was walking thru an apartment of dead people and broken glass, she headed for the livingroom and removed the blade above the mantle. Then she pressed on a brick and the fireplace front slide open. Behind it was a small vault, big enough for perhaps four people if they stood close. She looked back at him. "This way, when they take the sword as evidence, your sword will be safe." She stood there and waited to see if he would consent to the idea. Outside, far below, sirens could be heard and already the elevator was in operation.
Kojiro paused as the idea made him hesitant. He didn't exactly want to part from Akujiki, but it was probably the best course of action. He hesitantly gave her his katana and took the replica, sheathing it slowly he shook his head reaching for the contacts. This whole secret idenity thing was slowly starting to bother him. He slipped them in with no problems just in time, Beth closed the vault well before the authorites had arrived, they went straight to >eth for questioning, they had extreme looks of fear in their eyes, perhaps they feared her power, business wise anyway. Kojiro slipped his suit jacket back on and went to the rooftop to look around for any clues.-
She introduced Marcus and laughed that he was meant to look like Kojiro. No, he wasn't a convict or escort. Yes, here were his papers. No, he was not going to submit to DNA testing, he was her boyfriend and they had been attacked in her home. The officer did indeed confiscate the replica blade to be sure it had been the one that had done the damages. Beth said nothing of who it might be, claiming only that it was indeed the thired time this month. Yes, officer, fifth time this year. Yes she would have safety glass put in this time. No, there was no need for a guard. Marcus was staying the night and they would be fine. Once the paramedics came for the bodies and Marcus had disappeared, Beth said merely that he had gone home to get things for staying the night. If they wished to contact in the morning, they could reach him here. Once that was done and pictures were taken of everything from the broken windows and placement of bodies, to her rumpled bed and scratched leg. She teased the officer taking hte pictures by raising the skirt high than was truly necessary, but he enjoyed it and was more than considerate after that.
Once they were gone, she went to the bedroom and began to change. When Kojiro came back down he would find his real sword on her bed, and her standing just inside the bathroom, shower running, as she cleaned the woundon her leg wearing only the thin thong bikini bottoms that had somehow stayed in place under that dress without showing a line. As she heard someone moving, she stiffened and called tenatively as if fearing she would be wrong. "Marcus?"
There was nothing of interest up the stairs so he returned to Elizabeth's room. The shadow of her leaked from the bathroom to the hallway which gave her position away. Hearing Beth call the name marcus, she probably figured it was someone else, so he reassured her nobody else was there by sticking his head into the door of the bathroom and then walking past to the bedroom where he retreived his blade. It was obviously time for them to get a change of scenery. Kojiro walked back inside the bathroom as stood behind Beth, if she looked forward she would see the reflection of him in her mirror. Fingers running along her neck and then to her beautiful hair he spoke- "Think its safe to stay here?"
She tilted her neck, closing her eyes a moment feeling his touch. Opening them once more, they appeared back to normal. Nodding she smiled. "They won't come back. Not tonight. And I don't want to leave the place empty either." She set the final piece of tape in place and the white gauze pad on her thigh seemed to gleam against her alabaster skin. Not turning to face him, she met his eyes in the mirror. "You don't have to stay if you don't want too. The bodyguard gig is only a cover and meant when we are in public. I can't ask you to take it on 24/7." She laughed softly. "Were that the case, you may never get a moment to yourself." She watched his face and noticed, too, his blade on him once more. She wondered if he had someplace else he had to go.
Kojiro scratched his head as he watched her finish up the treatment to her leg. He moved to the bathroom door and leaned his head on the hinged side before looking back at her and smiling.- "I actually do have an enagement to attend to, but if it where possible for me to return here afterwords tht would I would be grateful. He removed the contacts from his eyes before easing up to her and planting a kiss on her neck- "I promise ill be good." Kojiro walked toward the window that was shattered and prepared to make an exit out of it, he had no intention in wasting his time in the elevator. He waved to Beth to assure her his return and leaped gracefully out of the window, if she would have went to see where he had landed she would have noticed that he had completely vanished from view.
She smiled at the kiss. "You are already, I am sure." She teased him about his being good comment. As he asked about returning, she was about to offer him a key to the elevator when he headed for the window. Thinking he was only going to look down, she leaned on the doorjamb of the bedroom. "Of course you can come back. I would like that." She saw him leap and her gasp and cry of surprise was followed by her running for the window, managing to miss most of the broken glass, and lean out. "Marcus?" Her voice wouldn't have carried far, said more out of confusion than anything. Sighing that he hadn't taken the key, she figured she would just see him in the morning.
She drew the heavy draped closed then took a few chairs and pressed them to the base of the window to keep the majority of the high rise winds out and retreated to her bedroom. Slipping on a long black satin nightgown with thin straps on it, she crawled into bed to read and fell asleep half propped up, the dagger tucked close under the edge of her thigh and her book fallen open on her lap.
Kojiro walked silently into a black alley where a black car equipped with three men in darkly cloaked jackets stood waiting. "Took you long enough Sho." Kojiro sneered at the comment, what a bad joke.- "Rin, give me one good reason I shouldn't slaughter you right now." Rin stepped from behind the three men with a smug look on his face, still in the same suit from the party earlier. "Looks like your a tad bit irritated my murderous friend, I told you I would have revenge didn't I?" Kojiro wasn't in the mood for games, but before he could put his hands around the mans throat his bodyguards had interveined. Kojiro took a step back yawning as if this was childs play- "Is this really the route you want to take Rin? You know ill end up killing you all. Forget about the swords technology. If its that critical, your better off attempting to develop your own."
Rin wouldn't listen- "three days Sho, then things will really heat up, tell your little girlfriend she has days to give us the tech." He threw a small note to Sho and the men retreated from the scene in the ominous looking car.- Things weren't making sense. Was He missing a key factor in this whole thing? Kojiro stood there trying to piece things together for himself. What had he gotten himself into?
Kojiro used the elevator's key to grant him access to Elizabeth's quarters. He had taken with the thought that something may happen while he was gone, he had no malice in his intentions. Opening the door he slipped off his jacket and tie putting it on a nearby coat hook, making sure to slip the note into the coat. Apon entering Beths bedroom he witnessed the closest vision had yet to have of an angel. She was so beautiful in her sleep. He kissed her softly on the forehead and retreaterd back to the couch.

Beth was running thru the corridors. Someone was chasing her and they had the sword. She tried every door she passed but nothing opened. As she got to the end of the hall, she spun to face her attacker. He had no face but kept whispering over and over. "It's mine... you will die from it and so will your precious Sho..." As the blade pierced her chest, she woke up with a scream on her lips and her hands on her chest where the dream blade had shoved in deep. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Sho immediately woke from the partial slumber he had drifted into apon hearing the scream. He slowly walked over to her, and realizing no damage was done elected to lay in the bed and comfort her. He curled up closely behing her and pulled her body close to his as he tryed to calm her.- "Its only a nightmare, your okay, calm down love." He repeated these words until she drifted back into a peaceful slumber. He sat there looking at her dream, keeping watch over her until daylight rose.
Her eyes widened as he came in and his touch broke the last of the veil the dream had left on her. Letting him lay her back down and move the dagger and book, she had been about to ask him to stay when he lay down and pulled her close. She crossed her arm and covered his with it. Whispering as she fell asleep. "You came back..."
In the morning she realized she wasn't alone. She stiffened slightly before realizing Kojiro was the one in bed with her. The night before was fuzzy but as she shifted under the sheet, she felt the patch on her leg and sighed. It had all been real. That meant another day of repairmen and security in her home. It bothered her to have her sanctuary invaded, but irritated her more when the invasion was doubled cause of needing cleaning.
She started to slip silently from his arms as his even breathing told her he had finally fallen asleep. She knew from the heaviness of his arm he hadn't been asleep long and she wanted to let him sleep.
A loud roar exploded as a scene of a battlefield came to view Roars of various battlecrys erupted as a small scene began to take place, a hundred men were all entrenched in a small cricle. They had something trapped, but it wasn't human. It was Kojiro, he was berserk with a lust for blood. His eyes permitted huge beams of crimson light. He had huge partially clipped black bat like wings gorging from his back, his hair was long and unkempt giving his horrible visage a more eerier look. "This is him, its chaos!" The men plunged into the creature dozens of them impaling it with swords and spears, but they did nothing. Chaos as the being was known erupted as a flash of red light filled the area. This wasn't a nightmare. Kojiro opened his eyes slowly as he watched Beth slip out of bed- his lips weren't audible, but it slipped from his lips. "Chaos..."
She felt him shift and a tremor went up her back. Before she reachd the edge of the bed, she turned and watched his lips move silently. Looking at him she reached to brush hair from his cheek. "Kojiro... you all right?" She spoke soft and low wondering if her own nightmares had plagued him as well last night.
Kojiro's eyes where pale from the usual bright red to a very, very faint pink. He could hear her but he was lost in thought. His fingers twitched as he slowly came back around responding to her with a sleepy nod and closing his eyes again. His breathing was slower than usual so it was obvious he wasn't sleep anymore,.
Hiking the sleping gown up out of the way, she crawled to his side and knelt there. Her heels rested against her bottom and the nightgown flowed back over her like liquid night. She reached out lightly to touch his chest and rest her hand there. Whispering once more she watched him. "Kojiro... it's Beth.. are you all right?"
His eyes where still dull and disengaged when he answered.- "I will be fine...just...give me a moment." Truthfully he was battling with himself, the handsome form that didn't seem to make people race off at his sight.. And the other side. The side nobody alive has ever seen, it raked his chest like a caged monster it tore at his lungs before slowly subsiding as if to give in for the moment. Kojiro spoke softly as he took in a deep breath of air.- "Are you late for work?"
She smiled as he spoke the concern. "My company, remember... I work when I want. After last night, Andrea will expect me to shift my appointments and will also change my luncheon to tomorrow." She watched him as he seemed to relax. Removing her hand and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. Her back to him, she opened the nightstand beside the bed and pulled out a brush and began drawing it thru the tanbled mass of waves. "I can go for a while though if you want more sleep. I won't call the cleaners or glassmakers till after lunch anyway."
He nodded slowly remembering it was her conmpany seemed to be oddly difficult, he didn't know exactly why though. He sighed as he drifted back to sleep, signalling to her to give him a little more time to sleep. It wasn't intentional, but he hadn't slept good in a very long time; that and the inner turmoil he was experiencing was draining his energy. He struggled to speak as exhaustion had gotten the best of him. "Don't go....too far..."
She had expected him to sit up and tell her she was being bothersome. But as he spoke and seemed to drift back to sleep. Something in his voice made her turn and the look on his face didn't sit well with her. Something was wrong. Rising and coming around the bed, she shifted his sword so it lay beside him and covered him before heading to change.
Dressed in tight black jeans and a black off the shoulder sweater she swiftly put her hair up. It made her look more in command when people were around. And it made her feel more in control, which she needed today. She wanted to be clear headed as people invaded her home to repair it.
Leaning down as she passed, to kiss Sho on the forehead, she caressed his cheek and whispered, "Thank you, my dark warrior." Then headed for the office to speak to Andrea and begin to make plans to fix the apartment.
Kojiro sat in a black void kneeled over, silent and not moving a muscle. A small girl holding a small teddy bear stood in front of him. She was pointing. "Momma said your the big bad wolf. The boogey man." She sniffled as if she had been crying. "Are you going to hurt me like you did to my mama and papa?" The girls innocent questions where horrifying. Kojiros body never moved until eventually the scene blurred and he woke up. His body was cold as ice, the dream made kojiro sick to his stomach. He sat up in the bed staring outside the room.-
Beth had been making arrangements for the cleaning crrew and glass repairers to come later that afternoon. Listening to the rechedule Andrea had indeed done, she nodded. "Thanks kitten. You make life so much easier." Pulling Andrea into a hug then kissing her softly, she finally let her go as the girl blushed and smiled. "Anything for you Ms Rh'Jod." They talked a few moments more of things like cleaning the gown and suite from last night as well as the schedule for the week.
That done, she headed back into her place to see if Sho was up and wanted food. Stepping around the corner, she called softly in case he still slept, "You awake..." She saw him sitting on the edge of the bed looking pale. Moving to kneel in front of him, her boots silent on the carpet, she rested her hands on his knees and looked up at his face. "Kojiro... what is it? What's wrong?"
Kojiro shooked his head stapping out of his daze- "no, I'm okay love. What's on the agenda for today?" He was better it seemed. He stood up stretching and then taking off his shirt. "Mind if I take a shower here?" He hadn't realized that he had no change of clothes here, he should have brought his original clothes that he was so comfortable in.-
She watched him rise and remove his shirt then stood up holding a hand for the shirt. "Help yourself. There are towels in the bathroom closet and anything else you may need. And if you didn't bring a bag back with you that night, just tell me if you prefer slacks or jeans, the color and tshirt or button up. I will have them here before you get done." She kissed his lips and smiled. There were some perks to being who she was afterall.
Kojiro thought for a moment and then headed for the bathroom- "Anything black, preferrably long sleeve ." He closed the bathroom door and jumped into the shower. The water was cold at first but he didn't mind, it slowly warmed up. The dried blood from earlier ran down his body and into the gutter, it was clear that he had done this far too many times. He was even faintly whistling a eerie tune to himself.
