Cuujo looked around cautiously. Good, no threat insight, well, no threat to them anyway. He sighed and fought the urge for a quick smoke, ack, didn't he 'quit' last month? He shook his head irritated and looked over to the for once awaking beauty. She looked around as he had done, only for different reasons. He flinched a little at the innocence in her eyes when she turned to him.
"Are we here?"
He nodded and rubbed a kink out of his neck.
"Yeah take this, and don't, I repeat, don't, hesitate to use it." He commanded sternly, putting a hard semi-heavy object in her hand.
She gasped a little almost dropping the gun. Sure she had seen tons of them, seen them used with a front row seat for viewing, but never had she actually held one. Her hand shook almost vibrating.
"Ah-I-I don't think-"
"That's right, you don't think, you just do it." His tone was cold showing zero tolerance.
Before she had the chance to speak he was out the door and heading for hers. She took another glimpse of the gun and looked away towards the now opening door. Thinking he was going to help her out like a gentlemen was obviously the stupid thing to do, manners? What were those? She yelped feeling him grab her arm and jerk her out yanking her all the way to the doors. Her head whipped around frantically checking to see if anyone saw the crazy man pulling the girl with a gun along the sidewalk. Guess not. She searched her body in a panic. Where the hell was she going to put this.
Sighing a sheepish feeling overtaking her mind, she reluctantly put the gun down her shirt. Well it never went off in any of the women's shirts in the movies right? Mimi rolled her eyes annoyed at her own stupidity. Yeah of course, they'd never put anything on T.V. that wasn't true.

Tai glared heatedly at Matt. The blond ran his tongue along his long canines gleaming intimidatingly.
"Aw, what's wrong precious? Not coming down to play?"
Tai's dark chocolate eyes narrowed nearly into slits.
"Play what? Bang ass?"
Yamato made tsking sounds and shook his head in mock abashedly.
"Kamiya-chibi, such language, tsk tsk tsk, what would your mother think?"
Tai snapped to attention feeling the hand of pain grip his heart in its vice like grasp.
"Before or after you killed her?"
That damned laugh was back. Back with a vengeance, the copper skinned assassin cringed desperately trying not to let it show.
"Oh now don't feel bad about that Taichi-baby, I do believe the young woman's last words where, and I quote, 'I love you Tai-chan', now isn't that how'd you like to remember her?" Matt's Cheshire smile rolled like vanilla on the tongue.
Now it was Tai's turn to smirk back.
"Really Yama? Mimi was screaming the same thing." He licked his lips predatorily.
That dropped the golden one's smile off the face of the earth. Or rather the face of Yamato Ishida. Tai almost laughed. Instead he continued.
"Over, and over, and over again. Wanna know what else she was screaming?"
Yamato shook with rage. Yet for some reason beyond Taichi's belief, as quickly as it had come, it was gone. He chuckled and turned his back. The utter definition of disrespect. Tai started, it was an unspoken thing that you never did that. He slammed his teeth together the thought of continuing to provoke the now walking gun smuggler consumed his mind, but suddenly Matt turned his head over his shoulder towards the tan skinned young man and flashed him those same vampire like whites.
"Probably my name." He rasped.
Before Tai could speak, with a flick of the wrist Yamato's men where attacking, Yamato himself walking back to his motorcycle. His eyes widened. The bastard was leaving!!??? He growled and leaped off the car whipping out his gun.
"Get your ass back here Ishida!!" He screamed firing several bullets, but it was too late, the blond was already out of range.
He let out a quick cuss and turned back to fight. No way. No fucking way was he getting off that easily. Taichi spotted Zeek taking on a few of them.
"Z!! I'M GOING AFTER YAMATO!"
With that Tai 'borrowed' one of the other's cycles and took after the yellow haired bastard.

"Face it C, the world's out to screw us." Mimi said comfortingly patting the defeated young man on the shoulder.
Cuujo passed the flamingo a quick glance from his head's position in his hands.
"Ok sweetheart, what do you hear when I say 'Damn, its too dangerous to go now'?" He asked irritated.
Mimi snorted angrily crossing her arms over her chest and turning away from him.
"Well someone certainly took an overdose of his asshole pills this morning." She grumbled.
Cuujo heard and was about to snap at her when he caught her in what to him was the funniest position his had ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing. She was slouching there, eyes narrowed, lips pouting, and the angriest expression on her face. She looked like a child whose mother was getting the wrong clothes that she didn't want. It started out as a small giggle, but turned into a roaring laugh that threw him to the ground. Mimi startled stared down at him from the park bench they were sitting on. He was holding his sides and roaring like he had a thorn in his side.
She glared at him and kicked him in the ribs.
"Get up Cuujo, you're going to get arrested for being on the grass." She hissed.
He managed to throw half of himself onto the bench still laughing hysterically. Mimi flicked his ear and yelled at him to stop once more. He slowed down and began to nurse his reddening ear.
"Jerk." She grumbled taking his hand and leading him down the sidewalk.
He had stopped laughing but a goofy smile still that lined ear to ear played on his lips that irked her.
"Uh, sunshine? Where're we going?"
Mimi looked up like she was finally realizing something important.
"Oh yeah, I dunno. You know this place better than I do. Whatda we do now?"
Cuujo averted his eyes to the ground in thought. A few minutes passed and she began to grow impatient.
"Cuuujjjjoooo……."
"Ok, well it would probably be safer to sleep in the park or on a bench-"
"I'D RATHER HAVE MONKIES PLAY A TAFFY PULL WITH MY INTESTINES!!"
"-If Matt wouldn't find out soon." He said eyeing her wearily. She blinked and turned her gaze away blushing.
"You have a very creative mind ya know that?"
A small smile claimed her lips keeping her hands on his arm in a tugging position.
"Ok so I guess we'll have to get a hotel room-"
"YAY!!" She screeched jumping up wrapping her legs around his chest.
He yelled out startled putting his arms around her waist desperately trying to keep her in balance from falling. She jumped back down hugging him so hard he thought it would give him a tumor.
"I LOVE HOTELS! Mama, Daddy, and I stayed at Silver Linings a couple of times! They had room service, hot tubs in the bathrooms, Champaign, I couldn't drink any of course but still, every room had DVD players, stereos, and those little goodie cabinets you open with a key! Ooh ooh! Where're we staying!"

"So this is what the inside of Satan's butt looks like." Mimi's monotone voice echoed in the bare room. Her eyes lost the happy gleam the second the tenant opened the door.
The walls were chipped and cracked exposing the banners and banisters. The paint had long since begun to mold and look like vomit, a few of the mattress' springs where jabbing out exposing their rusted exterior, an old pizza box lay on what vaguely resembled a kitchen table with books under the legs, Mimi didn't even want to know if the pizza was still there, nor did she have any desire to see the bathroom. She was pretty sure if forced to the limit she could hold it in a little longer.
Cuujo shrugged and walked in, Mimi cautiously following behind.
"Its all we can afford now Princess Morebux ok? So chill for a while."
She didn't even take her weary eyes off the room for enough time to glare at his back. She kept her hands on his arms carefully stepping on the creaking floor.
"Cuujo this floor is gonna cave in!"
"Well then you might not wanna let the bath overflow now will you?"
"Ok look, can we just go back to paraaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She screeched diving into his arms.
Cuujo grunted un-comfortingly as she leaped onto him the same way she did when she found out they were staying at a hotel. He sighed rolling his brown eyes and looked down. There scurried a cockroach that had to be in the Guinness book of world records for largest insect. He raised an eyebrow.
"Kami, I could make money off that thing…" He awed.
He was abruptly jerked out of his gaze by the vibrating girl. Once again rolling the large golden orbs he slid his boot-clad foot over it bringing it down with ferocity.
"EEEEEeeeeeewwwwwwww, Cuujo!"
He looked up at her disgusted face gently sliding her down.
"What the problem now?"
"That is soooo gross! Blech!"
"Oh forgive me, did you want to keep it as a pet? Because I'm sure you'll find several carbon copies of it." He drawled nonchalantly.
Mimi thrust her hands on her hips narrowing her cinnamon eyes at his retreating back.
"No I don't want to keep it as a pet-"She mimicked in a whiney voice before her eye widened sending her into a cowering position. "Wha-whatdaya mean carbon copies?"
Cuujo laughed before pointing to the pizza box. Shaking she reluctantly Mimi slowly turned her head towards his finger's direction. She let out a shriek and nose-dived for his arms again. There crawling over the moldy box that was probably older than her in lines like a yarn ball had to be thousands of cockroaches.
"ewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewew." She whimpered into his hair crushing her eyes shut.
He laughed bringing his arm up to pat her comfortingly on the back, blindingly finding his way to their bed. He gently began to lay her down only to find her frantically flailing to get away from the bed.
"What's wrong now?"
"Do you have any idea what has infested or possessed that bed!??"
"Well I was going to give you the bed and take the floor but if you wanna trade-"
"The floor! I can't let you sleep on the floor! Kami know what could crawl in your ear! You take the bed-" She looked down towards the seemingly infested springs covered in cloth "-ok so that's not too much better, I guess the floor it is- wait what'd I just say? Eck, this is one of those 'damned if you do, and damned if you don't' situation right?" She looked pathetically up at him from her position in her arms.
He laughed shaking his head. In a matter of seconds Mimi found herself laying on top of the bowl haired blond bambi eyed young man covering her with his shirt for warmth.
"I'll test the bed tonight and you won't have to worry about sleeping on an infested anything."
She blushed her mouth making a miniscule 'o' shape. Nodding she slowly rested her head on his semi-built chest as he tucked her in with his jacket.

Tai sharply turned a corner getting honks and swears thrown at him. Where the hell was he? He had lost him a little ways back. He had gone to his mansion, his loading docks, everywhere he could be. Taichi stopped and proceeded to slam his hand on the motor bars. How could he do this!!? Was he that stupid!?? He sighed defeated, he had more important things to attend to. He had better go see how Zeek and the others were doing. With a frustrated grunt he reared the navy vehicle over and took off through a red light back to the docks. Yet he couldn't shake the feeling of loss off his shoulders.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Zeek's heavy blackish brown eyes gazed over what they had done. What he had done. Bodies lay slaughtered over the wooden dock and over cars of all kinds. The fighting had stopped simply because there was no one left to kill on either side. His large body maneuvered over the blood and carcasses. This was too much. When. When did this happen? He was a good boy. He was mama's little man. He was a holy Christian from Virginia. Never swore, never raised his voice nor hand to a lady. Always hard-core respect for women. What had he done wrong? What? When did he become this human tool? This. This. GUN! When? Sniffles broke through the giant's trachea. He coughed gritting his teeth. NO!! Mama said big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. He fell to his knees and screamed. He didn't deserve this kind of pain. No one did. He sobbed sinking in his knees begging the All mighty to take him now. He didn't want to fight, to kill, anymore. He wanted to be a good boy. He was a good boy. Zeek brought his knees to his body and hugged them rocking back and forth.
"I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy……………."

Mimi yawned. The moon's raise stinging her eyes. She groaned and rolled onto her back. *snap*. Her eyes shot open. Her body shot up. Something wasn't right. Shouldn't she have rolled off the bed altogether had she rolled onto her back, her being on Cuujo and all. Also, Cuujo wasn't as well built as most of Matt's men but he definitely wasn't this soft! She blindly padded behind her feeling nothing but grimy cloth.
"Cuujo?"
She whimpered. The lump in her throat got bigger making it even harder for her to breath let alone swallow it. She looked around through blind eyes. The room had no electricity so forget turning on a lamp. She cringed standing up, she hated touching any part of this floor! She walked around carefully feeling her way around. She grunted feeling something hit her toe. Mimi blinked her eyes kneeling down patting the large object that stubbed her big toe. She smiled happily feeling the warm body of her savior. She nudged his chest.
"Cuujo I told you I didn't want you sleeping on the floor. Is this your way of saying I'm fat!" She hissed the last part.
She blinked waiting for a grumble or him to swat at her mumbling for her to leave him alone. She nudged again, harder this time.
"Cuujo?"
Mimi cocked her head to the side confused. Was he ignoring her? Had she really been that bad about this room? Her smile smeared away guiltily. She comfortably lay her head on his chest and softly began to stroke it.
"I'm really sorry about the things I said. I know this was all you could afford. I really do appreciate you doing all this for me. I-I was just raised that way I guess(laugh). But, I'm sorry, I care a lot about you. Sometimes I wish you just let me be, but now we're here. And tomorrow we're gonna get on that plane and leave this place. Finally! You can stay with me if you want!(laugh) If you can still stand me by then. I am kinda edgy on planes. Just hold my hand and we'll be fine, kay?"
She waited for him to stroke her hair and agree saying it was ok. But nothing happened. Didn't he hear her? She knitted her eyebrows and propped her self up on his chest looking into nothing down at him.
"Cuujo?"
She slid her hand up and patted his face.
"Cuujo?"
Hn? Her hand felt warmer and a bit wet. She brought it up to her face to examine it. Damn, still couldn't see a thing. What was it? Was he holding out on her? He damn well better not have had a soda or something. She averted her gaze to the broken window to see what was obstructing her view. Sure enough a cloud had engulfed the moon like a hand. She growled indignantly and turned back to her hand. Her head cocking once again she ran her tongue over the substance. She froze half way in her palm. It was a familiar warm metallic taste, like copper.
"Cuujo??"
He, he just had something to drink. That was it! Just a bad soda! She thought even as a sob racked her body bringing her face to bury in his bare chest. She hiccupped and wrapped her tiny arms around him. Sand. It was the first color she saw. A sandy color. She recognized it. It was the color of his skin. She smiled finally being able to see, the cloud had obviously moved. She laughed, a bad dream, this was just a bad dream. She was being so silly again. Cuujo would probably tease her about trying to seduce him. She giggled and brought her face out of his chest looking up to his pretty face.
She gasped. Face frozen in horror.
"C-Cuujo?" She squeaked.
His mouth was slightly open. But Mimi wasn't worried about something crawling into it. She was more so about the searing slash across his throat. Her pupils constricted in terror, her body shook inhumanly. No words came. No scream she wanted would wash the pain from her belly. Her hand just hovered over his angelic face her body gasping for air. His pale blond hair was highlighted gold, not the silver moonlight would give. Her body quivered, her expression not changing as she turned. A tall figure loomed over her holding a lamp with a hand encased in the same rosey liquid as her angel's throat. A hoarse whimper rose from her throat. She could feel rather than see the feral grin look that overtook his sapphire eyes and lips.
"Hello pet."
And the sobs finally came.
