Thanks for the reviews! The layout for this story will be a bit different, thanks to Lady Mercury. I hope it makes it easier for you guys to read! And check out LadyMercury's stories! They're really great, they're mostly cowboy bebop, but there is other anime too. K, please r/r no flames, just constructive criticism please ^_^ I also picked out some things she said in some of the actual episodes, so dont like flame me saying I stole them. If you know ones they are, great. If you don't, it doesn't matter. They're not like, completely vital to the story or anything. And they're not the actual quotes, just conveying the same meaning though.
Faye gasped as she gazed around the room. There were earthy tones such as browns, grays, deep rich reds, and the furnutre was extremely elegant. There was a china closet, paintings throughout the stone walls. It seemed to be the dining room because there was a large, long, mahogany center table with a glass vase holding roses in the center, and an ivory white patterned cloth draped over the center of the table.
"Shit, you weren't lying...." she told him. She picked up a miniture diamond clock on a tiny table near her. "Cute," she remarked.
"Yeah, well, I'm not one to lie," he told her. Faye looked up at him.
"I have a question though," she told him.
"Shoot," he replied, sitting down in a reclining chair, gesturing for Faye to sit in the other one.
"Why the hell do you have a red room in your house?" Ryo laughed, his eyes twinkling.
"God, you keep asking the questions that should be left for later!" Faye rolled her eyes.
"I am so confused, it's not even funny. But I suppose I'll have to just take you word for it. Notice I didn't say TRUST you, don't think I'm trusting you now," she warned.
"What's wrong with trusting a person?" he asked.
"Nothing, except for that fact that it has never worked for me when I have. It's a load of bull shit. It's better, you know, to be alone in true solitude, than be alone when you're with people." Ryo raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? That makes sense... I suppose," he replied. But Faye wasn't finished.
"Yeah, I mean, people say that the human is a social animal. That's not true, being alone is perfectly fine with me. You don't see me as a deranged, screwed up human being, do you?" Ryo sighed.
"I won't answer that," he replied. Faye laid back on the chair. *God* she thought. *He probably does think that I'm one. Oh well, I probably am*
"Want something to eat?" he asked, getting up. Faye shrugged.
"Nah," she replied. "Just show me my room, I want to be alone," she said, getting up too. Ryo shrugged.
"I guess, if that's what you want."
"It is what I want, ok?" she replied, angrily
"Ok, ok! I can see you're very tempermental today!"
*Today? God, this guy doesn't know a thing about me* thought Faye, inwardly laughing.
The night finally came. Faye was, of course, required to come to dinner. Only because she was starving though. She wasn't going to starve her self over pride. It was a good dinner, meaty filet minion, rice. Then, she went back to her room, left all by her self to sort out her problems. She laid back in her bed, on top of the covers, still in her clothes. She refused the nightgown that had been offered to her because she wanted to run away. Now, she wasn't so sure.
*So... what am I going to DO? Naturally, I have no one to turn to... I'll just have to be self-dependent" she thought. She sighed. All she could do was think now.
*So, do I run away, or no? This guy seems to be holding many secrets... maybe some I don't want to know. But maybe I do!* She glanced at the clock. *MIDNIGHT?! I'm going gambling, I'm not going to let this night slip away, I'll come back at like uh, 3? Three hours is enough tonight, I'm not in that much of a gambling mood. Now how to get out of this labrynth?*
She got up, sneaking out of the room, light-footed. She ran through some halls for awhile until she found a door. The few windows surrounding the door showed glimpses of nature. *Yes! Freedom!* But her happiness didn't last for long. She opened the door and was about to walk out when a large bull dog leaped at her!
"HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT!" she screamed, jumping back. The dog ferociously tried to run at her, but was held back by a thick chain. It was a dark brown bull dog, with a foaming mouth, tiny slits for eyes, and damaged ears, probably from fights. "God... this makes Ein look like a poodle!" she exclaimed. She heard someone running. "Oh crap," she muttered. "Busted."
"FAYE?" screeched Ryo, in his flannel pajamas. If the situation wasn't so serious, Faye would have laughed at the sight. Ryo ran to the bull dog, struggling to push him outside.
"GO! OUT! Don't EVER do that again Kiki!" scolded Ryo. Faye got up, shaking.
"Kiki? She's a girl? That's like a name for a poodle or something," remarked Faye. Ryo ignored this.
"Faye, what were you doing?" he asked, sternly. He looked past her shoulder. "It's ok, you guys can leave," he said. Faye spun around to see about 11 butlers and maids. She turned back around.
"Who are you to tell me what to do? I'm not telling you anything," she spat.
"Yes you will! You are under MY roof!"
"What are you, my freakin' father? Listen, I may be under your roof, but I didn't choose to be. You kidnapped me, god knows why, and now you expect me to pretend that I'm at home? I'd rather live in on the Bebop!" Ryo sighed.
"Ok, you're right, it wasn't your choice to live here... but please. You have to understand, it will all be cleared soon. Just tell me where you're going, you can go. I just want to know," he pleaded. "And you have to promise you'll be back." Faye looked at him directly in the eyes. "Seriously?" He nodded.
"Seriously, just tell me." Faye hesitated.
"I was going to the casino for around 3 hours," she admitted.
"The casino? Well, ok... but Faye," he said, grabbing her hand. She was too shocked by his action to pull back.
"You have to promise me you'll be back. Listen Faye, I know. I know you're thinking about running away and never coming back. I know you don't want to stay. But... for once, you have to trust me. I really don't want to harm you. I don't want to restrict you, and make you unhappy, which is why I'm letting you go. But... I'm going to have to make sure you come back," he said.
"How?" she asked. He looked at her hand.
"Give me your diamond ring," he told her.
"WHAT?! No!"
"Yes, or you can't go. That way, you wouldn't run away with out it." Faye sighed.
"Fine, you win, ok?" Ryo smiled as she slid the ring off her finger, handing it to him.
"Thanks," he told her. She sighed.
"Don't mention it," she replied sarcastically.
