Kari ran a hand through her hair, dyed electric blue and grown out to her shoulders rather then her chin. It was a change…she wasn’t sure even Kage would recognize her. He had probably looked for her when she left… but it’d been a few years and he still hadn’t found her. She shrugged off the thought, he had his own body now and her running off had diverted her father’s attention over here so he was better off on his own. She turned as a particularly noisy customer banged on the bar, interrupting her inner thoughts. She rolled her eyes and walked over, swinging the beer he’d ordered in one hand as her other reached for payment. He touched her hand and started to say something but all that she cared for was touching the silver ring on her left hand and saying something about ‘her husband’ probably not being satisfying if she worked her. Usually most assumed it was a wedding ring since she’d started wearing it on said finger and left her alone….but that was not the case at the moment. Kari’s response was quick and efficient as the band on stage played even louder it seemed to her. She slammed the bottle down on his hand while curling her own into a fist and puling it away from his. His knuckle released a satisfied crack as the drunken man drew back in pain and the other men and women at the bar laughed at his poor choice…most had come here long enough to know better then to go near that ring…or say anything about whoever gave it to her… “Have a nice day” Kari said with a smile at the seething man, putting the bear bottle down before walking to the other side of the bar. She hummed lightly to herself, laughing as she heard the man call her a bitch under his breath. ((sorry got in a writey mood Xd)) |
Red eyes peered out from under the hood of a pitch black cloak that swirled around Ai's feet. It had been a while since he had set foot around these parts. He was supposed to meet an informant here but that damn bastard had gotten himself drunk and now Ai was forced to find something to pass his time. It had been a long time since he had last slept. He had developed insomnia shortly after leaving the school. That much was obvious from the dark rings that surrounded his eyes, if anything they just added to his dark look.
His hair, once black with silver highlights was now a solid black and it was styled into spikes with a few strands falling in front of his eyes. His eyes themselves were emotionless now, distant, empty. The cross design on his cheek was still there, with a few additions of smaller crosses, three to be precise. His ears sported more piercings and his skin was still as flawless as before. He had gotten taller as well and the rest of him was covered by the cloak. His eyes scanned the area until they landed on a sort-of barlike place. Seeing as he had nothing better to do he walked in. The temperature in the building seemed to have dropped a few degrees when he walked in and as more people noticed his presence, the noise level fell until it was only the loud music pounding in the background. Ai reached up a slender hand and pulled back his hood and, like many years back, he was greeted with squeals. He tilted his head slightly, lips parted and then closed his eyes, breathing in deeply. The scents of puke, alcohol, sweat, among other things greeted him. Disgusting. ((lol yay for long posts XD)) |
Kari felt the temperature shift and for a moment thought it was one of her fathers…emissaries again. She reached back behind her to pull out a simple blade she kept there, enchanted with her own magic to wound demons, when she heard the squeals. No…it couldn’t…She looked upwards, seeing the same red eyes that once excited her dreams but now more haunted them. It wasn’t… She shook her head, no, it wasn’t him….it couldn’t be. He’d broken his promise, broken her heart…this….this was just another stranger. She told herself this yet one hand shook slightly, causing her to curl her hand into a fist to stop it. She walked over to him, treating him as any other customer as she repeated to herself it couldn’t be him….”So, what do you want to drink” She asked quietly, her eyes looking down at the counter. A few customers glanced at Kari and seemed rather confused. They’d never seen her act so…so…timid.. . |
Ai let his eyes scan the room, barely registering the question. His eyes swept over the drinks menu, "What would you suggest?" He murmured, his tone somewhat bored. Something about that girl intrigued him. She seemed so familiar somehow. His eyes darted to her hands and upon seeing the familiar ring on her fingers a slip of surprise flashed through his eyes, quickly hidden though. Not that anyone noticed, the girl herself wasn't even looking at him.
As he waited for her reply he took the chance to take his cloak off, revealing a well built body. He wore a white sleeveless vest with black decals and a pair of ash gray ripped jeans. A red double belt hung from his hips, accentuated by chains. On his wrists were an array of bracelets and a black design took up much of the room on his upper left arm. It looked like a bird for a moment and then like a rose, really it was his magic seal. Somewhere to keep extra energy in case he ever needed it. And on his neck was a black velvet choker, embedded with a silver cross. |
“Depends on if you want to get drunk or actually taste something…the later of which would mean you’d probably want to go to another bar for alcohol. Here if you want a soda though” Kari drawled absently, her standard answer when asked that question. She eyed him from beneath her lashes a moment, her own dark eyes finding his red ones as she was again drawn to remember. She couldn’t help but play with the silver ring a moment, remember the night she’d been given it. No…it wasn’t him… but those eyes…damn those eyes…It made her heart beat a little faster just like Ai’s…the only person who ever made it beat like that. |
"Soda sounds good." Ai murmured in reply. Not that he would actually drink it, his body had taken to rejecting a lot of things recently. He glanced at her, meeting her eyes briefly and then looked away again, at a drunken fella that seemed to be glaring at him. Ai raised an eyebrow but that was his only reaction, many people seemed to like glaring at him, mostly guys though. He closed his eyes again, letting them rest for a brief moment.
|
She suppressed a shiver as his eyes met hers and she again felt that sensation that he was exactly who she thought. She dismissed it quickly then said aloud a soft “Right…” Kari hesitated when he didn’t say a particular kind but just absently got him regular coke a cola rather then ask. She didn’t need him to open those crimson eyes again… What was the use of remembering when if it was him it meant he didn’t even remember her…a last insult to injury… Kari sat the soda in front of him, her head bent. She then held out her left hand for pay absently, saying simply “That will be 2.50...” She let her gaze wander to the side, not wanting to think but finding she couldn’t stop. |
Ai pulled a bill out of his pocket and didn't even bother checking to see what bill it was, "Keep the change." He at least knew it would be sufficient. He never kept anything below a five with him anyway. He set his head into his hand and let his gaze wander around the bar again, that is until a pair of skimpily dressed girls approached him giggling. He blinked and raised an eyebrow, clearly unamused, "Do you ladies need anything?"
|
“Other then self respect?” Kari joked to herself as she walked to put the bill away. She had changed her appearance but her nature?…….not a bit, and she had seen those same girls before. She knew how a pretty face turned their head, she knew what they thought. She then walked closer down the bar, attending another customer but absently watching Ai. She was trying to lie to herself but she was beginning to fail …she knew who it was…in this scene so reminiscent of school…. The man whom she loved....but who didn’t even remember her… |
He turned away from their disgruntled faces after telling them off rather...colorfully...His head was beginning to hurt from the smells and sounds of the bar. He quickly stood to his feet and swept his cloak back onto his shoulders. He left a bill on the table, next to his untouched soda and then nodded to the girl that had served him, the one that seemed so familiar to him, the one he used to love. And then walked out the door.
