Xing got up off the boy, carefully. He was surprised that Sakura took down the rest of the boys so easily. Big surprises come in small packages, apparently. He thought. He looked down to the boy and scowled. "You can also tell him to kiss my skinny ass." He spat.

Sakura looked to him and smiled.

Xing smiled in return. "What I want to know is why you turned on Sakura," he said, turning back to the boy on the ground.

The boy glared." imnot saying anything to you, your not my master!"

"I can make you," Xing said, narrowing his eyes.

The boy glared ,"how?!"

Xing's glare remained fixed on the boy. "You really don't want to know." He said. As he spoke, he accessed something that he'd locked away when he was a kid.

Sakura sighed and gently tuched Xing's sholder. "Come on Xing, he won't say anything"

Xing hesitated, then released his grip on his rage. He felt it melt away, quickly. "Yeah, you're right." he sighed. "The biggest dicks are the most stubborn ones."

Sakura smiled looking to Xing."that's the truth",she said gently helping Xing off of the boy. She then looked to the boy who was on the ground, glaring at them. "your'e lucky",she said with a glare then looked to Xing. "come on , lets go"

Xing gave the boy one last glare before heading off with Sakura. "Where are you going to stay now?" He asked. "It's not like you can go back there without those shits attacking you again."

Sakura sighed. "no idea, I'll find someplace ,I normally do...",she she said looking to the floor.

Xing felt a bit sorry for her. He didn't know why, but he just blurted out "Why don't you come and stay with me and Shiki?"

Sakura blushed. "y-you sure? i dont want to be a bother fr you or anyone"

"You won't be bothering anyone," Xing replied. For whatever reason, he was hoping that she'd accept. Gah! Why'd I offer anyway?!

Sakura gave a shy smile and gave a nod."alright then...its better then searching for a place"

"Yeah, and honestly...that's suck if you had to look all over." Xing said. "Besides, the place we've got has plenty of room."

Sakura gave a grin. "good!"

"Is there anything you need to get out of your old place?" Xing asked.

Sakura shook her head."nope"

"That's good," Xing said as they turned onto the main street again. They stopped, waiting for the light to change. "So...."

Sakura looked to him."I'm sorry about your friend ....the one hat was killed ....",she said siftly. It was her sister, but she didnt even really know about her family . She was a baby when her parents gave her away. Still, she felt sad fr Xing and anyone else who was close to her and were dealing with the death.

"Yeah..." Xing said, his eyes getting distant. "She had a big heart, to say the least. Makes me wonder if she's going to hang around the realm of the living or head off into the afterlife."

Sakura looked to him and gave a small smile."well if she has a big heart a you say, then im sure she'll stick around long enough to make sure your okay"

Xing sniffed out a small laugh. "Yeah...you're probably right." He said. Then, letting out another laugh, he added "knowing our luck, she'll probably pop into the shower while me or Shiki are using it."
