Ch. 7 The retrieval of the siren
Riki walked into the room his firm hands barely touching the door as he saw Jiro sitting at a table looking down into his cup of coffee. How long had it been, a month, maybe longer, since Sassy and Jiro's fight? Nika still came around every once in awhile but the beautiful siren was never to be seen. Even Ramon seemed effected by it, not wanting to play his usual trickery on his castle mates. Riki sat across from the wolven his useable intense brown eyes no solemn and distant looking,
"Still no word on how's she's doing?"
Riki slightly shook his head as Jiro took a sip from his cup as he gazed up at the tall, broad shouldered Franken,
"She's staying with him at his place I'm assuming, It doesn't surprise me according to Nika she enjoys his company."
Jiro reached into his breast pocket and took out a folded piece of paper. The sound of the door opening broke the silence between the two. Riki slightly cocked his head towards the door as he saw Nika standing in the door way, the hood of her cloak down, as the string that held it to her shoulders was half way untied. She walked up to the table glaring at Jiro as she directed a friendly greeting towards Riki,
"This better be good for making me come here I was in the middle of something important."
Jiro handed the note to the, now irritated, shade mot looking her in the eye knowing full well she was still ticked at him.
"Give this to Sassy."
"I don't think she wants a letter from the man that used her."
Nika felt a hand on her shoulder followed by a slow talking yet monotone voice,
"Take…. it…..to….her."
Nika was not on to argue when Riki spoke so she took the letter from the wolven's still out stretched hand and left. It didn't take long for Riki to leave leaving Jiro alone once again as his mind began to remember what has caused all this, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't come, but for some reason I hope she does.
Sassy was in the kitchen cleaning off the dishes from breakfast as the calming sound of the bloody rose floated threw the air. She loved hearing Wataru play it was calming, and made her forget why she was staying with him in the first place. As Wataru pulled his bow threw the last note the sound of the door bell wafted threw the house as Sassy put away the last dish,
"I'll get it, baby boy."
Wataru slightly smiled and blushed at the sound of Sassy's nickname for him as he put the bloody rose back in its glass case. He wasn't sure hoe, but some how he had grown quite fond of Sassy being around the house.
Sassy stepped outside and saw a familiar figure standing at the gate holding out a piece of paper she approached the mettle gate and open it,
"I take it that's for me."
Nika nodded as Sassy took the letter seeing the blue ink that the words were written in,
"I'm not interested in what that wolven has to say."
Nika sighed as she grabbed Sassy by the wrist and pulled her off towards the castle,
"You and he are so much alike, but I'm not going to get yelled at just because you're being stubborn."
Sassy glared at the shade's back, but continued to follow her the least she could do was officially tell everyone good bye.
