An unexpected meeting [Completed]

[Yukki Kazuto]

Yukki looked from the notepad to Scarlet, and began to notice things he hadn't before, back when she didn't matter. She appeared to be about the age of ten, though Yukki knew from first hand experience those looks were deceiving. She seemed to be at ease whenever she was close to him, but further away from him, or closer to Reuben, she looked terrified. Yukki noticed that she subconsciously went into a slight fighting stance, as if expecting to be lashed out at. 

Scarlet had straight brown hair that came down to her shoulders, with bangs almost covering her eyes, but not quite. She had pale skin, as if she had never been in the sun her entire life, and had deep brown eyes. She had on a gray t shirt with a logo for a company or group Yukki didn't recognize on it, along with dark brown cargo shorts. She dressed to be both comfortable and practical, and she probably didn't have many social experiences with strangers that she wasn't trying to steal from, and would be looked at like trash in tier 3, Omni forbid she go to tier two or one.

Finally,the only thing that struck Yukki as odd was the fact that she never opened her mouth. So far he had gotten her to smile, but even that was with a closed mouth. Yukki tucked it in the back of his head however, passing it off with the explanation that Scarlet was a mute, and that maybe that had something to do with it. Yukki had long sense absorbed the notepad originally given to her and replaced it with a PDA, which Scarlet was able to type much faster with, and could even make it give off a little ding to let them know she as finished.

They began to explore the upper tiers for somewhere to set up permanent shop. They spent the most time on tier three, because it fit in best with what Yukki and Reuben had agreed they wanted to do. Scarlet's only request was to be above tier five, so she could be away from constant crime, and only be around occasional crime. They didn't find anything on the first day though, and soon came back to the abandoned building that they had been in when Scarlet broke in and woke them up.

Having learned from the mistake of both sleeping at the same time, Reuben and Yukki took it in two hour shifts to sleep and watch to make sure nobody got in. Yukki almost felt bad for Reuben, waking him up every two hours, but pushed the thought away when he remembered being punched without even a chance to defend himself. Yukki let out a small sigh as he got ready for the last shift before they were to pack up and head out.

He slipped into his enhanced senses, and began waiting to see if anything would happen, though he doubted anything would. He was surprised an hour later when he felt movement from the girl that was sleeping behind him. He turned and saw her sitting up looking at him. "You awake?" He asked her. She nodded slowly and slid across the floor to sit beside him. She placed her head on the side of his chest. Yukki instinctively placed his arm around her.

"We're going to take care of you, you know that right?" Yukki asked looking down at the girl next to him. I trust you. It's him I don't trust with anything. But I know you'll make sure I'm okay. Yukki read the message a little grimly. "We're going to get through this. I promise you." The girl smiled her closed mouth smile. Yukki nodded. "Come on. Only an hour until Reuben wakes up and we can find a place." They settled down and finished the hour Yukki had left in his watch.

Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day...

[Reuben Orson]

I suddenly awoke from a horrid dream I had been having. It was the same one I've been having for so many years. My master's blood spilling on the ground, his scream letting out and piercing the quite mountain side manor. And then the last breath that would haunt my thoughts for eternity. I woke up with a start my body shaking violently my knives extended from when I was sleeping. It was an instinct, everytime I woke up my blades were always extended out. I looked to see Yukki and the small girl sitting beside each other.

She looked at me with stone cold eyes when she noticed I was awake. I could feel the hatred seething from her as she looked at me. I honestly did feel bad about what I had done to her... I never had a family, and I robbed her of the only one she ever had in her life. Scarlet clearly seemed upset she was hugging tightly against Yukki. It was still weird seeing her- Errr, well him... The way the he was now, I was so used to seeing the small little girl sticking her tongue out at me everytime I walked past her in the compound me and my partner Mey were at... I paused and sighed. Mey... She must be wondering where the hell me and Yukki are right now.

I got up and Scarlet backed up a bit, glaring at me. I looked down at Yukki. "Time to go, we need to set up a base of operations." I say. Yukki stood up and so did Scarlet. "I agree," Yukki said. "To Tier 3 we go." He said standing up. We all walked out door. As we began to stroll down the street we noticed some shady figures staring at us. However, they didn't do anything. Scarlet stayed very close to Yukki. She barely even looked at me, unless it was too glare at me.

Soon we reached the elevator and I pressed the button to go to Tier 3. The elevator went up and we were on Teir 3. House hunting... Not really my style, but we need somewhere other than that abandoned building... I yawned sleepily as we walked our way through the streets of Tier 3, we got some weird stares from people passing by us. Scarlet was till keeping close to Yukki when she took out her PDA and typed out on it. "How much farther? I'm hungry and tired?" It read. "Soon." I said wearily. 

As we continued walking down one of the streets we noticed a very nice area to set up living. And we could afford it. We quickly went to the business that was selling and purchased the house. I was happy we finally got our own house. And luckily Tier 3 wasn't a crime filled area either. So that was a plus. The business droid handed us the key and said. "Thank you for your patronagae, we hope you enjoy your new house, have a nice day!" It finished. 

I walked up to the house along with the others. The house was a lovely looking house, having a nice window on the second floor and a sort of chrome design. I inserted the key and door opened revealing a lavish living area. With a chrome couch with a red velvet cushion and pillows along with a coffee table and some other chairs of the same build. Luckily I was happy to find that there 3 bedrooms. I didn't really want to sleep with those two near me anymore, especially Scarlet. Luckily all the rooms were furnished, it had a nice security set up with alarms and what not, so we feel secure. I look up at Yukki who seemed amazed at all the fantastic furniture around us and said. "Remind you of our old base any?" I said looking up at him.

Yukki nodded his head slowly, agreeing with what Reuben had said. Scarlet walked past Reuben into the kitchen area and began exploring what had come with the house. Yukki saw Reuben retreat to a bedroom, presumably to crash on the bed and sleep. Scarlet soon emerged from the kitchen, seeming somewhat satisfied by what she had found. "Hey, Scarlet." She looked up at me. "Maybe we should get some sleep, huh?" Scarlet thought for a moment before nodding in agreement and heading to her room. Yukki gave a small sigh of relief before heading to his own room to sleep. Realizing that nobody had any reason to attack them here, he slept well.
