A different view

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana rolled off the guy after she’d tackled him to the ground, she didn’t think they’d hit the ground so hard but they had. She wasn’t going to even gave him a chance to pin her down, she was up on her knees one fist clenched ready to punch him. She wasn’t going to hit him until he tried something, what was the point in hitting someone until they went for you, she’d always learnt you don’t hit someone or attack someone first you wait for their move, and yea she had tacked the guy but that was different. Her eyes were so focussed on the guy she’d tackled, her breathing deep like she’d just finished fighting or running around for half an hour or something like it; she didn’t even know what they had wanted with Turasho they’d never said it.

Her eyes looked to Turasho as he held the guy up but she quickly looked away seeing Turasho slicing open the throat of the guy. She had her eyes shut tightly and took in another deep breath. She didn’t want to look over or open her eyes. Why did this happen, why? She opened her eyes slowly and looked over seeing the dead body; she swallowed and looked away breathing through her mouth, her stomach turned around.

Ana looked over to Turasho hearing him hit the ground and quickly rushed over to him seeing the blood everywhere, ah how she hated blood, it was so horrible and grouse and really really red. She frowned a little and smiled “Thanks…” she said smiling a little to him, it was no thanks to Turasho she was safe and ok, otherwise who knew what would have happened, she shivered at the thought though noticed Turasho slipping away. “Hey!” she shouted and quickly applied pressure to his wound trying to stop the bleeding “Stay awake. Turasho… Turasho!” she cringed and looked around hearing foot steps. “Shit.” She mumbled and applied more pressure onto the wound. She had dead people all around her, blood everywhere and Turasho who was bleeding to death, who was coming, someone good or bad? She took in a deep breath and looked to Turasho “You’ll be ok…” she said nodding as if trying to convince herself.

[turashonogomi]

Turasho's eyes faded to black but he could hear it ring in the distance, Ana's voice shouting his name. He wasn't sure if he was scared, or if he was just happy that Ana's voice was still there. He knew he was just passing out, soon he would heal and the bleeding would stop. It was no big deal, just a scratch.

The snapping got louder as Tofi ran down the hall, her bedtime kimono was barely hanging on and she fixed it while running, her hair was a mess and the old woman was also running behind her. Both had rushed from their beds to find Turasho on the floor. Tofi didn't say a word, neither of the women did, they just began to clean. Tofi walked over to Turasho, her blond hair falling around her face, " damned boys, get into so much trouble when your not watching!" she said and smiled a Ana, " we prepared a bedroom for you two, since it's late, but you'll have to help me bandage him up and take him there..." she said as the old woman handed her two rolls of bandages. The woman started to clean without hesitation, she needed to open up shop the next morning so she needed the place spotless again.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana took in a deep breath. She looked to Turasho as he was out and frowned cringing and then applied more pressure. Her eyes looked up as she noticed it was only Tofi and the old woman, she stopped herself from doing anything stupid like making a shield explode in their faces which she had planned if it was not someone good. She took in a deep breath, smiling a little to see them both.

Ana just nodded at Tofi “Thanks.” She said. Bandaging was something Ana was good at, she had siblings always getting hurt and she was also so this would be the easy bit. Ana looked at a bandage and almost glared at it before pulling one arm under Turasho pulling him up a little to make it easier to bandage, her hands were covered in his blood but that was ok she could do this. Ana slipped her leg under her arm and then let Turasho’s weight fall over it. She took a bandage and smiled a little “You got that right… but boys are like that right…?” she said looking up to Tofi, Ana’s hands shook a little though she got a hold of them and started to bandage up. She was amazed her towel had stayed on during all that, she was so relieved it had. Though she doubted she would sleep tonight and if she did it would not be for long.

She tied off her bandage and looked to Tofi. “Ready?” she asked and looked to the old woman wondering if she’d need help.

[turashonogomi]

Tofi sighed, " yeah they are..." she said, like she knew from experience. She helped hold Turasho up as Ana wrapped the bandages. Tofi smiled, " You need to get some clothes on girl!" said the old woman, " my customers don't want to see you in a towel!!" she said and started to mop. Tofi giggled. Even without Ana's help Tofi lifted Turasho up and held him there, she could carry him while Ana got changed, Tofi was just as strong as a normal 18 year old guy.

It was odd but that was Tofi. " Don't listen to her, she's senile... if you want to wear that towel all day, go for it! " Tofi's smile grew, " I don't think Turasho-kun would mind at all!" she joked and started to carry Turasho off towards the room. Leaving poor Ana alone with the old woman.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana watched Tofi pick up Turasho easily and blinked, how did she even do that? Wasn’t a time for questions though. Ana nodded and then frowned a little, she didn’t want to wear a towel all day. A tiny smirk flickered across Ana’s face hearing Tofi go on though it quickly vanished and she just stood there watching Tofi leave with Turasho.

Great I’m left with a grumpy old fart… Ana thought frowning but turned around and walked off into a change area and pulled her clothes out. She looked at the blood on her hands and frowned before she quickly got changed and then ran her hands under some warm water. She must have been trying to get the blood off for 5 minutes and even than Ana didn’t think she had gotten it all off, she had but she still saw blood on her hands.

She quickly wet the towel getting any form of blood from it out so it wouldn’t stain and then walked back out to the elderly woman. “Would you like some help?” Ana asked as she looked to one of the dead guys and swallowed then looked to the old gal, “I could go dig up some graves some place…?” she wasn’t being smart, someone might have thought she was but she didn’t know what else to do with the bodies all she could think of was getting graves ready for them.

[turashonogomi]

The old woman looked up at Ana with the most ugly look on her face, " I' don't need your help girl! You have already forced me out of bed! Git! Go to bed with Turasho-kun!!" she sighed, " he needs you more than I do..." she said, a bit softer, more kind. Tofi was then in the doorway, she smiled, " she's right, my grandma knows a few things!" she said and took Ana's hand, like a young girl would.

As Tofi began to drag Ana down the hall, she spoke " I'm sorry about her, she's a bit grumpy when people get blood on the blood." she said and smiled, " I'm not sure if Turasho is awake yet, but he won't be asleep long, Bounto's healing capabilities are exceptional, he'll be fine!" she said happily and slid open a traditional Japanese doorway. The room was only lit with moonlight coming from a patio outside.

Laying in the bed, almost like a corpse was Turasho, he was on his back, unlike when he normally slept which was curled up on his side. He slept like a cat normally. He looked so peaceful. The white covers were only pulled up to his waist, were Tofi had giggled at the fact he had put on shorts before going to save his girlfriend. Tofi sighed, " bathroom is right over there, and if the room gets too cold, just close the door to the patio!" she said and was gone as soon as she had come.

(( OOC: here is the room:

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana went to say something to the woman, who was she! I mean Ana was only trying to help. She closed her mouth looking away a small frown crossed her face and they said the young people were rude and annoying, well this old woman needed a lesson in manners, but Ana was not going to be the one to teach it to her. She just closed her eyes. he needs you more than I do… it sang in her mind over and over. Ana opened her eyes, Turasho would be fine she knew it, least she hoped he would be, if this wasn’t cleaned up then the old woman would be in trouble tomorrow.

Ana’s head turned the other way when she heard someone else, seeing she didn’t know Tofi well and hadn’t spent so much time around them their voices didn’t register in her brain, nothing was at the moment. She was about to pull her hand away but by the time Ana was about to do it Tofi was dragging her some place. She blinked a few times making sure her feet were moving correctly before nodding. Ana knew that, she’d read the book but she just nodded anyway.

Ana looked around the room, she noticed the light from the patio and then saw Turasho, her eyes widened for a split second, he looked dead, then again he was rather pale most of the time, just he was more so this time. She looked the way Tofi was saying the bathroom was and went to turn around to thank her but noticed she’d already left “Thanks.” Ana said anyway before taking in a deep breath and frowned, boy had today been eventful and yesterday had been also.

She walked into the room and shut the door behind her before walking over to make sure Turasho was actually breathing though her hand touched his forehead. He was cold, but that was normal, wasn’t it, she was still getting use to how a Bounto’s body worked and how it was different. The past two days had just been so full on, Ana had seen more people die and get hurt in 2 days then she had in about 2 weeks. She swallowed and got up.

Her hair was still a little wet and she suddenly felt unclean. She looked towards the bathroom and then headed over to it. She must have been standing under the water for 20minutes just letting the warm water run over her and re rinsing her hair it probably smelt like it was orange and lemon, that’s what the shampoo said. She quickly put some conditioner in her hair and soaped herself down before jumping under the water again. As tired as she was the shower just wasn’t waking her up and her body was too on edge to relax.

She jumped from the shower and dried off, got dressed and left her hair out as random curls started to appear in it. Her eyes glanced to Turasho a small smile crossing her face, she owed him, but if she had not been here then he would have been ok, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone else. She looked away and out onto the patio before walking over and outside. Ana leaned on the open door way folding her arms watching the night, it was so still and quiet it was sending shivers down her spine. She shivered once and tried to remember exactly what had happened today. The first half of the day was clear, the other half was just all over the place. All she really remembered from the past few hours was blood. Blood. It had been everywhere. She could still feel that guys hands on her arms gripping her making sure she’d stayed back. Her hand ran up her arm holding herself. She closed her eyes, Turasho had beaten the guys head in, she’d tackled one but it didn’t do much. Her eyes suddenly opened as she heard it like it was right in front of her, the blade slicing the guys throat open, his struggle for breath, she could see the line and the blood spilling from the wound. She gasped through her mouth. She had never actually seen someone die like that before. She remembered her parents death, it was something she never forgot, could she forget this, would she and if she could how was she suppose to forget it?

Ana took in another deep breath, yea she wasn’t going to get to sleep to night, she doubted she would, on some miracle level she might. She let the night calm her, least try to calm her, she still felt how tense her body was. She glanced back into the room looking over to Turasho.

[turashonogomi]

Turasho was starting to wake from his slumber and he felt a bit cold. He shifted before opening his red eyes slowly. He looked over to see Ana, safe, and she looked unhurt. He sat up and looked over, she looked back at him. Her hair was curling a bit and he smiled at that. That's when he remembered what he did. He looked down at the sheets and sighed. He was a monster back there, no matter what Ana had told him yesterday or the day before. He had killed 4 people, without even thinking twice.

" I... I'm sorry for making you watch that..." he said softly, hoping she would hear him. " I should have never done that in front of you..." he said, he knew what he had done is something Ana could never forget, something that would keep her up all night. He hated himself for it. He knew that if Ana was with him, she was bound to get hurt, and he couldn't handle knowing that her pain could be caused by him.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana let out a sigh. She glanced around the room for a moment, was a really nice room she hadn’t actually taken in all the detail before, and though the only light came from the moon she could see bits of detail in random spots. Her eyes blinked before she looked over to Turasho again and she smiled watching him not actually noticing he was sitting up and a few seconds after he had sat up her eyes went wide in shock, what was he doing up!

Her smile faded though, the moment he started to talk, about how he was sorry it faded, she almost seemed to be scowling at him. Ana headed over to him and smiled a little, though it was not her confident smile, it was weak, very weak. Her feelings didn’t matter right now, she had to make sure Turasho was going to be ok, after all those men had come for him and the more she thought about the incident the more detail she remembered, the more of their words she recalled. Though they didn’t make much sense to her she knew something was wrong, or going to be wrong.

She sat down next to him and shook her head “no it is ok… who knows what would have happened if you hadn’t come in…” she frowned as she said it before pushing it aside and pulled some hair from his face “Are you feeling ok, I mean Tofi said Bounto’s healed quickly and you lost a lot of blood and… your freezing…” her eyes went wide “Should I close the patio door to make it warmer for you… I’ll do that.” She said nodding before jumping up and closed the patio door before he could say anything. She spun around and just watched him before smiling a little “Are you sure you’re ok?” she asked softly walking back over to the bed.

[turashonogomi]

Turasho was a bit dazed from just waking up, but he knew Ana was worried. He could tell by the way she wanted to close the patio door. Really, truthfully he didn't mind, but she walked off before he could say anything.

He watched her close the door, he was so happy to see her okay. He didn't know what he would have done if they had taken her. He would be so angry at himself. He watched as she came back over to the bed. Wen she asked if he was alright he smiled, almost devilishly as he reached one hand to the back of her head and pulled her face to his.

He then kissed her for the billionth time. He ran his hand through her hair and down her back to her waist before breaking the kiss and sighing, as is he was dreaming. " Yeah, now I am..." he said. Turasho was just witty like that.
