Chapter Three
Compassion

Ryu sighed throwing his shirt onto his bed the alien was nothing big it was actually quite easy once they identified it but.his eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of the previous battles that he had been up against. One was mainly Frank during the time Hattie's signature was on a truck right under it beeping like a bomb. Rubbing his face he felt the urge to shiver slightly was it him or did the room just get colder? Ignoring his mindless thoughts he carefully shoved the remaining things on his bed off and slowly began to lie down.

Resting his head on the pillow he thought back to when he first met Hattie in the hospital right after the incident at the warehouse where Frank was brought back to life due to the machines an experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong. Shutting his eyes he turned over grumbling something non- existent burying his face into his pillow.

"Still trying to forget the doll? Or is it her that is forgetting you?" another males voice was now audible in Ryu's room in one hand the mysterious figure held an apple in the other a knife currently peeling the skin off it in a slow manner. The reincarnated figure buried his face in the pillow more.maybe if he just ignored him. "Don't try to ignore me Takuto Kaneshiro I know you're awake" the mans voice echoed in the room giving Ryu no other choice but to sit up and stare at the riddle man.

"What do you want now?" he asked sharply not in the mood for games a such when he wasn't even wearing a shirt his chest was revealed for all to see and being anti social he didn't want anybody to ogle at him, it gave him an eerie feeling when one did. The red haired man pushed himself off the chair and walked toward Ryu oblivious to the hard glare that he was receiving from the being in front of him.

"Nothing really.I just wanted to check up on you, making sure you're not breaking the deal, hoping to see you depressed" he shrugged "the usual" the glare intensified as the riddle man sat down next to the reincarnated figure "so how's life? Oh that'd right you don't have one". Mr. X either decided to ignore the stare now or just wanted to make himself well known to Ryu's presence not that it was that hard at all. Making a hard fist the white and brown haired man ignored the man beside him until he felt something brush against his hair no.his cheek and instantly reacting like anybody he smacked it off and removed himself from the position.

The man that had taken refuge on the bed stretched giving Ryu a Cheshire smile "I'm that irresistible? Why I never knew." after that comment the FUNERAL member walked out the door of his quarters, he rather go to hell and back a trillion times before staying in the same room for any longer. After exiting his sleeping chamber he now had to go and find something to do, sighing to himself he walked toward the doors that led outside of the building. -------------------

Dan leaned against the outside railing the wind whipped against his face sending the strands of uncombed hair in all different directions his eyes displayed a small look of sadness his mouth was set in a tight line as he continued to sulk while gazing into the distance with his back hunched over. 'I don't believe it she's gone.' he brought the crumpled and tear stained letter to his face re-reading it again still not believing what was written on it. His own sister his little sister had just recently died in an accident the cause was yet to be identified but the fact that she was gone now.

He sank forward even more crunching up the letter weakly, and pocketing it in his back pocket before gazing into the far blackened sky that shined with more stars then you could possibly count. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even hear the door open as his comrade or rather his rival stepped outside the door sliding shut behind him.

"Hmmm.?" Dan Simmons looked up slightly and tilted his head to the right to gaze at Ryu who at the moment wore no shirt 'he doesn't seem that bad' he looped a smile chiding himself with such meaningless banter before questioning his rival "what are you doing out here?". At first the other pilot did not respond before, when he least expected it, he did "came out for some fresh air" snorting Dan shook his head turning the opposite way so that his back as pressed against the railing "oh please you wouldn't expect me to believe that, trust me you're always in bed by this time".

'And he would know this how.' Ryu thought coldly while the voice of Mr. X started to repeat over and over in his mind like a bad song "what about you?" he asked to the British pilot the latter being surprised with the amount of words he's getting Ryu to speak "none of your business". In a flash the British pilot was flat on his stomach the piece of paper already in the rivals hands and being read off of.

An intense minute rolled by as Dan regained his footing long enough to stand up and rub his eyes the other pilot however kept his grim stoic face and handed it back muttering a single almost inaudible word before retiring back inside "gomenasai" and with that he left a speechless blond under the stars in the darkest of nights.
