"So…Lexington," Aurora smiled snidely, allowing her words to hang in the air. It had been nearly a half an hour ago since they had departed from the gun shop, the two bumping into the occasional stumbling biohazard as they neared what could be called a danger zone, the police station.

Considering Lex would give no hint as to what his real name could be, Aurora called him by the one that suited him best. Lex wasn't too pleased with the whole process and hearing the name Lexington for what he counted to be the twelfth time leave her mouth, he readied his Benelli, spun around, and placed it to her mouth. "Say that name one more god damn motherfucking time; I swear to GOD I will waste a cartridge on you!"

He showed no hint of amusement, Aurora, for once, taking him seriously. Sighing in defeat, she rolled her eyes, waving the gun from her lips. "Fine, fine, Lex it is," He lowered the shotgun, placing it in a holster across his back.

Now next to the silver eyed, quick tempered stranger, Aurora asked, "Lex, why exactly are we heading to the popo?" He looked her over strangely, she elaborating. "The police. The police station, why are we going there? If people started to turn to zombies I know the first place I'd head would be the cops but then if an infected one turned, the police station would be a massacre site…bloody hell, suicide even!"

Shining his titanium carbon nitride finished magnum with the bottom of his shirt, Lex spoke in a reserved tone. "Please…I would never go to the cops for protection, especially in this town. Most are corrupt no fuck and the ones who do their jobs get screwed regardless. No…I know what to expect there. Corpses…the occasional undead, little doggies that'll be anything but cuddly,"

He held the weapon up into the light of an intact streetlamp, squinting at the shine. "Have no choice though. The gun shop we just went to had been raided before. One of each weapon was taken, including nearly every square inch of ammo and this is the only place I know that'll have ammunition. Sure, it is a little suicidal but what choice do we have?"

Aurora stopped dead in her tracks, jaw hanging open. She snorted, almost laughing. "Lex, fuck that, are you out of you mind! Let's just head to Kendo's," She glanced down an endless road. "Come on…" Her eyes returned to Lex. "There's no way."

Up to the femme, Lex pointed a finger sternly into her face. "I am NOT walking twenty miles just so we arrive at nothing. We take our chances at the station or better yet," He pointed a finger down the same foreboding road she had been looking down. "You can take your chance walking your ass off until morning, trust, I won't stop you!"

"I would ditch your arrogant ass right now if I wasn't so god damn sure you'd be completely fucked without me!" Pointed out Aurora, drilling a finger into his chest. "If the only way you could get to 5-7-9 was by backtracking, there's no fucking way in hell you know how to properly get around this place…especially when ya consider we're talking the long way to the station!"

"Let me correct you Aya, I would be BLESSED without you around! Never cursed so much in one night in my entire life," He ran both hands through his hair frustrated. "You know what else, you're right, I don't completely know my way around this hellhole …" he started to shake as he asked her a question. "But if you KNEW we were taking the long way, why in the hell didn't you say anything?"

"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ASK!" exclaimed Aurora, stomping a foot. She started to count on her fingers. "Not like it matters because A) you don't talk to me B) you don't ever care about what I have to say unless I'm pissing you off and C) You don't listen so when you fuck up…" She started to cackle. "I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. That doesn't make me wrong now, does it?"

"Of course not," he replied calmly. His eyes gained a psychotic hue as he continued. "That just makes you a bitch."

Insulted, Aurora swung her hand on her hip. "Well, this bitch is heading to Kendo's! I mean, really, how close are we to the station?"

He extended a hand down the road, shouting. "Its ten minutes away! You can see the silhouette in the freaking distance!"

Embarrassed she hadn't realized that herself, Aurora shouted with a hint of a blush. "Then why didn't you say so!"

"Because you didn't ask!" Mocked Lex, adopting a squeaky tone as he attempted to imitate Aurora.

She growled lowly, inches from the imposing character. Hands on her hips, she sneered. "Eat me, jackass."

Lex responded automatically, staring down hard to the nineteen year old. "Blow me, bitch," Aurora seemingly unable to find the words for his retort, did the only thing she could do, sticking out her tongue. Lex did the same, soon scowling as he finished. "Christ, I'm acting like a brat…never argue with an idiot, they'll reduce you to their level then beat you with experience…need to keep that one in mind."

Biting her lip, Aurora frowned at a recent discovery, her anger dissipating at the new sight. Brushing a strand of grey behind her ear, she said, "Do that again," Lex arched his brow, she sighing. "Stick out your tongue for a sec," He complied with a wry expression, a sly grin appearing on her face. Anger all but forgotten, Aurora continued on the route to the station, smirking. "I knew you were little freak…the 'fuck my brains out' comment should've given it away."

Catching up to her, Lex looked her over with a mixture of worry and annoyance. 'What the hell are you talking about…?"

Waving her tongue, she rested her hands behind her head. "I'm talking about that cute little piercing in your tongue…" She gave a wily grin, giving Lex a sideways glance. "A silver stud…woulda never noticed it."

Getting the gist of her unspoken thoughts just by her sudden smiles and overall change in attitude, he started to drum his fingers along the barrel of a Desert Eagle, keeping his eyes forwards as he spoke coolly. "What are you trying to insinuate Miss Aya, I'm rather curious to hear…"

Hand resting on the hilt of her katana, Aurora shrugged dreamily. "I'm not trying to imply anything, dear Lex. Not at all…actually," she dropped her smile. "Don't play stupid, you know exactly what I'm getting at, Lex."

"Didn't think you were ignorant enough to think everyone with a pierced tongue does something like that…" said Lex with nonchalance, mirroring her action and casually swinging his hands behind his head.

"Oh, I'm not," clarified Aurora, brushing off what could've been a very good insult if it were true. "I just think…you do that. And really, after your answer to my rhetorical question, a girl can't help but wonder, ya know?"

"It was a joke," muttered Lex, oblivious to how he had managed to sate Aurora's fears of rape in just four words. Glowering, he said, "I may have a piercing but it doesn't mean I do anything."

"…And all throughout your rather weak defense I notice how you never actually denied my unsaid accusation," commented Aurora, eyes closed in concentration. Speaking her thoughts out loud, she said. "And it most likely goes without saying that I AM right but Lex does not care to admit his personal life to me as of yet which is perfectly understandable. I am, after all, a bitch." She couldn't help it; she had a thing with not being so forgiving after being called the 'B' word.

"Out of all the women I could've bumped into…I must've been downright evil to have to go through this," groaning, Lex massaged his face tiredly. Holding out a hand in her direction, he muttered. "You got a cig?" Aurora tossed him one, noticing an expression of distaste at seeing the brand. "Salems…" Lighting it up with a match, he shrugged. "I'm in hell, what else do I expect?"

Chuckling at his ill mood, Aurora stood outside the police station, a huge black metal fence blocking off the courtyard. Keeping the doors steadfast in position was a bloody chain, huge rusted padlock serving as the centerpiece. Using the Glock, Lex shot off the chain, Aurora tempted to slap him upside his head once more.

Rummaging in her bag, she scowled. " I could've easily picked the lock, don't know why you wasted a bullet…especially considering the door might've been holding out the zombies," Pulling out a thin silver chain, knowing it would have to do as a replacement, once she and Lex had stepped into the courtyard, she proceeded to chain back the gate, padlock and all.

Sullen as he smoked, Lex's eyes lit up as he took a meticulous drag. He narrowed his eyes, holding a steely expression. "Time out, let me try and understand something. I'M the freak because I may or may not perform…certain acts with my tongue…meanwhile you walk around with whips, chains, and handcuffs," Crossing his arms, his face full of skepticism, he said, "Let's think about this."

Blushing, Aurora slammed the padlock closed. Eyes widening, she said, "Those weren't mine. When I left the hotel I found them inside a car-"

"Yeah, your car," interrupted Lex scornfully. "After you bought them, to use in this little hotel of yours-"

"They don't belong to me!" shouted Aurora. Preparing herself to curse him out, she only stopped as a low growl ripped through the air, scarier than any moaning she'd heard in the city.

Both Lex and Aurora turned their eyes from each other to the entrance of the police station, three decaying Dobermans growling eerily. Fur matted with blood, flesh fell sloppily from rotten portions of their faces, eyes crazed with dementia. At noticing the two comrades no longer arguing, they bound off on a collision course to the two. Lex rose his magnum, three shots ringing out, three dogs falling dead. A fourth growl was heard, a dog to Aurora's left having stealthily been charging from her side. Lex made to fire a shot, a clicking going off, his clip wasted. "Shit."

Showing no fear, Aurora licked her lips, for once solemn. "I got this," Knocking the hilt of her katana with her thumbnail, as the dog jumped to rip out her throat, the katana flew from its sheath, a flash of silver seen as it came into contact with the dog mid-air. The dog landed in back of her with a satisfying thud, syrupy red staining her weapon.

Lex strolled up to the dog, thinking Aurora had luckily only managed to maim it. He had started to mutter useless, stopping at the first syllable upon closer inspection of the zombie dog. The dog was very much dead, half its jaw cut off along with its scalp in a flawless cut. Staring to the dog's brain in wonder, in shock, the wasted magazine slipped unnoticed from his hand. "Fuck me…"

"Not tonight," Sheathing her katana, a warm smile came, Aurora content with her kill. Shrugging, she said, "What are the odds? First time using it and I cut the beasties head clear in half. Lucky or what?" Knowing she'd have to play it off as luck, with a merry hum, she started to the entrance of the door.

Staying back, Lex lightly pushed his boot into the dog's jaw. "I wouldn't be so sure…" While he would have loved to give her that much, that she had been lucky, that first time was a charm…rolling his eyes, he cautiously walked after Aya. While he would have loved to have given her that, and he would have too, there was one thing that instantly sparked a debate in his mind over what Aurora could actually do. That being…while half the dogs head had been horizontally split in half, she had somehow made it so the brain was still in one piece….

"What exactly am I dealing with, Miss Aya?" whispering his question and expecting no answer, he continued with the jolly-go-lucky youth into the station…
