A/N - Ilce - I'm so bored… I don't own and that's about it. Oh and pre-explanation for the shirt… he really would.
Masquerade's POV
When we made it back to Earth it was raining. Pouring would probably be a better word.
I looked over at Dan who was already soaked through I smiled at him and ran to the nearest building, ironically enough a clothing shop that just so happened to have raincoats.
"Ironic, huh?" I said.
"Sure is," he told me with a soft smile.
I put my hands in my pockets and my left hand bumped into something. I pulled it out and found a… credit card? Where the heck did this come from?
"Why do you have a credit card in your pocket?" He asked me.
I shrugged and said, "Not going to question it."
"Why not?" He asked me raising an eyebrow.
"We need dry clothes and a raincoat might help, so why not?" I said giving him a stubborn look.
"Alright good enough for me," he said and we headed deeper into the store then split up.
15 minutes later
I had found an outfit I could live with; black jeans, a dark purple sleeveless shirt, a pair of boots, and a long black coat.
I headed over to where I had last seen Dan. He had clothes draped over his arm, but appeared done. I felt slightly worried that he was shivering badly.
He followed me as I walked up and I paid for what was there.
The cashier was a young girl. As we were about to turn to leave, she said "Wait a moment." Then proceeded to talk to someone over the system phone and finally nodded.
She turned to us and smiled, "The manager said that you two could change into those if you would like."
I gave her an appreciative nod, Dan looked like he was freezing.
We quickly changed and I couldn't help but grin just a little at the fact that we had on pretty much the same outfit except he was wearing a red shirt. I nodded to the girl once more and led Dan outside.
He shoved his hands into his pockets and frowned and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Looks like we might have somewhere to stay," he said handing me the slip of paper.
It had an address on it. Out of suspicion I checked my pocket. There was the mysterious credit card and… a key.
"Ok so now there's a key and I know that no one had been close enough to slip this into my pocket so I'm gonna say that this is getting kind of weird," I turned to Dan.
"The credit card obviously wasn't a trap so why should this be?" He said.
I frowned. I hated it when other people had a point.
I rolled my eyes and threw my arm around his waist.
"C'mon then we're gonna get soaked again if we don't move soon," I told him.
We made it to a tree with widespread branches which I pulled him under. He looked up and was about to say something when I pulled him in for a kiss.
He allowed the kiss and pulled back after a minute when we finally felt the need for air.
Dan smiled at me and turned around a little and froze looking distinctly upset.
I caught sight of what he obviously saw and frowned, he stepped back next to me and gripped my hand tightly.
I squeezed back glaring at the object of his distress. Shun Kazami.
He looked up and turned and I felt myself stiffen as he focused on the only other people obviously odd enough to be out in the rain.
I looked down at Dan expecting to see more distress or anger, but instead I saw a slightly mischievous look cross his face and began to wonder what he was up to and at the same time wondering if I should be worried.
He turned so he was facing me completely again and pulled me down until we were kissing again.
I didn't see how this constituted to plotting on his part but kissed him back.
When he finally pulled away from me and I assured myself Shun had left, I looked down with a vaguely curious expression when something suddenly seemed to add up and I couldn't help my sudden grin.
"He's a homophobe," I stated answered with only a grin.
Ilce - Should I be afraid of the reviewers? If so I would like some warning... by the way if I'm annoyed enough I might end up killing off Alice, Julie, Runo, and Marucho... really depends on whether I decide it's worth the effort and what you guys think about this.
