Neokie woke up shortly after and sat uupright on the bed. Reaching her wound she felt the scar. She shook her head and stood up unsteadily, walking towards the door. She cracked it open and took a peek outside. Finding Ryotuki and Fokoro fighting each other. Her eyes widened and she stayed there, eyes peering through the crack of the door.
Ryotuki jumped at Fokoro and yelled, the bartender easily parried it with one hand. "This never gets easier." Fokoro smirked and kicked up, swatting Ryotuki to make him face the othern way. Ryotuki jumped back and wiped his cheek, blood dripped from it. "Darnit, the fifth time Fokoro!" Fokoro chuckled. "Show me your best, and I might give you three months off." Ryotuki rolled his eyes, charging at Fokoro, he made a direct on his ankle. Fokoro jumped back and disappeared, repappearing behind Ryotuki and pinning him to the ground.
Ryotuki sighed and got his face pushed into the ground. Fokoro lowered his head to RYotuki's ear and a devilish grin crossed his face. "Rent's paid." Jumping off RYotuki, he walked back to the counter and began drying his glasses. Ryotuki sat up and rubbed his head, shaking it in disappointment in himself. Neokie laughed alittle and closed the door gently, returning to bed as Ryotuki walked out.
A few hours later Neokie came out. She glanced at Fokoro and nodded. "Thanks..." Fokoro nodded. "No problem, you know. Your and Ryotuki have quite a few things in common. Also, he told me you have a locket. May I see it?" Neokie shrugged and searched her pocket for it. Pulling it out, she handed it to Fokoro who examined it.
A snake hugged a teardrop as two shruiken approached it, ready to end it's life. The Moiniyoes Symbol. The kid wasn't lying. Now he had to apologize. Great...
Ryotuki walked in by the time FOkoro handed the locket back to Neokie. Ryotuki nodded to Neokie as she waved and sent a few bags on the table. "I bought groceries idiot..." He muttered, sitting on a chair. Fokoro shook his head. "Good for you kid.." The sarcasm in his voice was highly sensed. Ryotuki sighed and crossed his arms. He eed the right side of the room, then the left side. "So..You okay Neokie?" Neokie reacted quickly, not expecting Ryotuki to reply quickly. "Um, yeah I'm fine." SHe smiled and spun around in the chair like a kid.
Ryotuki and Fokoro both smirked as FOkoro set down the towel. "I'm turning in, been a long day." Ryotuki nodded and so did Neokie as Fokoro ascended up the stairs. Ryotuki eyed Neokie who was staring at the ground. "You sure you okay?" Neokie nodded. Ryotuki shook his head. "Um..Thanks..But you didn't have to try and protect me..." Neokie frowned. "Liar, those rats were going straight toward you!"
Ryotuki smirked as Neokie walked over, sitting next to him. "Yeah but I sensed them. I didn't lift my sword because I knew I would hit you instead.." Neokie pouted, causing Ryotuki to laugh. "Heh, but yeah I'm lying anyway." Neokie laughed, clasping a hand over her mouth she yawned.
"Um...Ryotuki?"
"Yup?"
"Um..I...well..."
Neokie leaned over and kissed his lightly on the cheek. He blushed brightly and horribly as he looked at the ground. Neokie couldnt hide a smile as she looked at the gorund, embaressed. They both looked at each other and stared into each other eyes until they let it all out.
They both laughed as Fokoro smirked, watching from the top of the stairs. The night seemed to pass quickly as the two talked, Fokoro watched with a smile, a calm one.
The next morning Neokie was walking around. Fokoro walked over and picked her up by the collar. "You got a reason to be sniffing around?" Neokie struggled and jumped down. "What are you trying to do! Kick me out!" Fokoro nodded and it seemed like a game of Cat & Mouse had begun.
