Fituna almost laughed dryly. "Tch... He wishes. He was with Iz and Gerard." She smiled and shook her head, glancing back at him. "Why... are you jealous?" She teased with a grin before laughing lightly and putting the safety back on her gun.
Jeremy looked irritated still, Kuro looked calm as usual. He had mellowed out after seeing this from the other point of view. He wasn't as mean as the others thought....

Yazoo's jaw tightened. He paused for a beat before devising an answer. "Should I be?"
They exited the bar and he conveniently chose to look another direction. At what, he didn't know. That was not the point. The point was this-- to convince her that he had no interest in her.
Of course I'm jealous, but that means nothing. She is nothing to me.
Isn't she?

Fituna laughed a bit, not really feeling the need to embarrass him further. "No, it was all part of the job." She looked to Jeremy. "Which is what we came here to finish... lets head back to the warehouse to formulate our plan."
The two boys nodded and looked to eachother. They both grinned before running off, racing each other back.
Fituna shook her head at them before looking over at Yazoo. "Come on. After this you can get back to your brothers...." She offered a smile before starting off in that direction. She was a little saddened by that thought so she said nothing to further it. Part of her didn't want him to leave....

On the one hand, that thought was to him a very satisfying one, as it would mean reuniting with his family... and getting away from this mysterious creature who affected him in such strange ways. But on the other, the idea displeased him acutely... she was still just as much a mystery to him as she had always been. He was no closer to getting any answers from her about the attraction she had sparked within him...
He followed her to the warehouse in solemn silence. If I don't do SOMETHING, and quickly, I'll never have a chance to know what this is about... I'll wait at least a little longer to see if anything develops... and if something doesn't, then... sigh. I'll have to figure it out later. "So what is this information we needed so sorely? You have thus far neglected to mention precisely who or what we are pursuing."

"Oh. I'm sorry." She said softly, this time not looking back. "We are now looking for Vikktors friend; the one who is also in this same 'business'." She sighed. "I personally want to free myself of this, but I made a promise to Jeremy that I would help him destroy this guy and free his sister." She slowed as she walked up to door. "You didn't have to come...." She stopped and turned to him. "Why did you come...?"
She had been asking mulling this over in her head since he said he was coming with. It was almost a shock that he decided to. He barely knew them and seemed to have no interest in what they were doing... It doesn't add up... it doesn't make sense.

He froze. This was precisely the question he had been alternately anticipating and dreading since they left the fortress... Should I tell the truth, or... His mind raced, and likewise his pulse. Finally he decided to leave it to her.
He moved closer to her, lowering his voice so the others inside wouldn't hear him. "Would you prefer the short answer, or the long answer?"

Fituna watched him curiously, her serious attitude softening a bit. His behavior was getting more and more strange...
"Which ever one will fully explain it, Yazoo...." she managed a smile. "Duh." She added lightly, leaning casually against the wall next to the closed door.

He felt trapped. Is there no way out of this? Besides lying, of course... I am not above lying in any way, but making something up would only complicate things still further, and they have already become far more complicated than I can handle.
He swallowed and met her eyes, which instantly caused him to lose his tongue completely. Only through sheer force of will did he manage to say anything at all. "You confuse me," he explained. "You have had a series of strange effects on me." He moved still closer, propping his hand against the wall beside her, his gaze almost unbearably intense. "Many of them threaten to drive me out of my mind. But I must understand how it is you are able to do something no one else can do..." He tried to bring himself to tell her what that something was and his voice failed him.

She glanced towards his hand before looking back at him, her green eyes meeting his. "I confuse you?" She grinned a bit, moving on after his last few statements. She felt almost claustrophobic, him being so close and looking at her so intensely. She stared back at him for a few painfully slow moments before replying.
"You're not the only one... who doesn't understand, Yazoo." She said quietly, shyly, her eyes never leaving his.
It was also hard for her to explain this, to form her thoughts and feelings into words. Yes, she may have flirted and smiled, but she had never been good at saying things she really felt. Only the ones she knew the other was thinking....

He felt like somehow ice crystals had formed in his blood... it felt like freezing and burning both at the same time... "Understand... what?" Yazoo requested quietly. My G**, what have I gotten myself into...

Fituna looked away and to the side shly. "Nothing. Its nothing." Her voice kept getting softer the more nervous she got. It had been all cool until just now. Now, she had no idea what to do...
I can't just walk away.... Not now. Sh*t now I'm done for....

He reached forward for her. His gloved hand met her cheek and gently turned her face towards his. "Understand... what," he repeated, a little more insistently. I can almost smell her fear... adrenaline and sweat... does this mean...? There was little more than a fraction of an inch of dead space between them...

Fituna stiffened slightly but forced herself to relax as she was made to look at him. Her gaze didn't meet his eyes for long though. "What these feelings are..." She whispered back, a slight hue to her cheeks. "Understand why you cause me to panic the closer you get... understand why my heart skips a beat everytime you smile... why I can't seem to stop thinking about what you might be thinking...." She closed the little space between them with a feather soft kiss, she pulled away calmly and looked at him. "I should hate you for confusing me this much...." She said softly.

After she kissed him, his face was, for a priceless moment, absolutely slack with shock. The cat-slit eyes were wide open, frozen and unblinking. He stopped breathing. "You... kissed me." Somehow the sound of his own voice was comepletely alien to him in this moment...
Before he knew what he was doing, he leaned forward through the thin wall of air between them and kissed her. Something at the back of his mind was screaming at him to stop, to instantly deny everything that had passed between them... but it felt like something else was deliberately blocking that voice, to the point he could barely even hear what it was saying.
He had been with other girls, when he was in school and at college... but that had been different in so many ways... it was before he knew quite what he was, before he learned the history of a world he'd never seen... and no one else did to him what she could... no one else made him feel.

Fituna was a little stunned herself by her kiss, but her thoughts derailed as he kissed her. It took her a moment to realize what was going on before she slowly, hesitantly kissed him back. Her hand moved up and rested gently on his chest as she ever so slightly deepened the kiss....
What has gotten into me? I've never lost my cool like this before... What makes him different....
