Searching |

[Gene]

Gene made his way into the black market shopping district. He was amazed that he was able to find it. Now all he had to do was find what he was looking for."Sorry Gramps but to make my own legend I have to have my own axe." he said as he walked down the dar narrow street looking at the stalls. He wanted an axe forged from damascus steel and covered in silver. He wandered the streets looking at the stalls.

He stopped next to a bench and sat down letting out a long yawn. he had been looking for the black market for a few hours but now that hehad found it he couldn't even find the weapon he wanted."Where is a smith when you need one." he said.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha sat crossed from the young man when she noticed something strange. He was never here before. She than realized that her stare became a glare. tasha looked down imedietly t other book, and kept reading. She hoped this guy wasn't a spy from the republic. That would be bad news.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

Pink eyes blinked twice, a hand running over a dagger. "Hmm..." Was all the neko said as she moved to another weapon, her tail wrapping around her body. She looked over at Gene, her deep pink eyes narrowing. She looked back at the blade in her hand, moving it before the owner almost bumped into her. She felt the hood of her shirt pulled, and she pulled the front of her belly hoodie down. She glared at the owner of the stall, who was kicking her "out". She began to walk away, no one would let her why anything because of her age... No one...

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha noticed a human being pushed around. She had no business helping out, but she couldn't help it. Something called her to go over to the guy. Maybe it was the spirits talking to her. Tasha walked over witha concern in her face. "Are you alright?" she asked.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

"Hmm? Are you talking to me?" Neko hissed, looking at Tasha with her dark pink eyes that showed hate, and pain. She sighed, she shouldn't yell at someone who may not be talking to herself. She ran her fingers through her shaggy black hair, the sun showing the blue hints in it. She felt her tail wrap around her from the other side, this made her fell safe. Her cat ears were still perked up from hearing the female's voice.

[Gene]

Gene looked up from where he was sitting. He watched as two women stood in the middle of the black market. One of them had cat ears while the other seemed to be a normal human. His battle axe rested next to him. One of them turned and walked towards him while the other shouted."I'm fine." he said standing up. He looked down at her then to the girl with the cat ears. He stood a good two heads above both of them.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

She sighed, of course she wasn't. The neko looked at the sky. Sense the fire, no one had said a word to her, even if they didn't know it was her fault. It was like she had a sign that told everyone that she had killed her family, that she had did it with matches that spelled out her name. She looked at Gene, her narrowed eyes softening to their normal size and shape. She let out another deep sigh as she began to walk away from the two, she was un-needed here.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha looked deeply concerned as she did not respond. "Are you hurt? Is there anything I can do?" she asked giving the girl a little bit more attention. Tasha knew what it was like to be alone in the world. She is a wicca herself, and very few people talk to her. She waited to see if the girl would respond.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

"I'm fine... These baka's wont sell me anything though..." She said, a slight hiss in her voice. It was just there, taking the place of her once trusting voice. She turned around to face Tasha. She felt her shaggy black hair lay right above her eyes, a slight smile crossing her lips. She pulled down on her hoody-shirt again.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha smiled in relief. "I am sorry that its nto working out for you." she said. Tasha knew how business ran round these parks. It was hard to even sell some of her stuff to people (especially when they had to be secret). "Here, I'll but one." she said.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

She shot Tasha a shocked look, her eyes with a slight bit of trust in them. "Hmm... That would be nice." She felt the smile fade as the owner of the stall shot her an evil glare, her death glare over-powering that weak look he had given her. She ran her finger's through the black shag, looking back at Tasha.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha looked atthe man too. She did not want for things t oget mesy around her. tasa was a witch, and things can be a bit touchy if a person messes with her or even worse, her friends.

Tasha gave her attention back to Neko. "How much would that be?" she asked.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

"Hmm... I think this should cover most of it..." She said, handing Tasha the bag she was holding. She kept on giving the owner looks, trying to get him to stop looking at her, and Tasha. She looked Tasha over once and thought, Eh... She shrugged, this was the first person to speak to her in a long time, what was she to see Tasha for her looks.

[Tasha Xlio]

"Oh, you still need to give me a price." she said. Tasha saw Neko being slightly distracted. She wondered if she could help. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

"Nothing you could help me with..." She said, sighing. She looking at the dagger she wanted and said, "4,500 gold..." The blade shined in the light that was coming down from the sky, Neko squinted her eyes, for the blade blinded her.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha grabbed her money and gave it to the woman. "Here you go. It was lucky of me to have that much." she said with a faint smile. Tasha grabbed for the blade and smiled. "This would be a great present for my dead old friend." she said.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

The young neko dipped her head to Tasha. "Thank you so much..." She then heard Tasha's other words, about a dead friend. "This is the second dagger in a set my brother was colletting. I promissed him I would finish the set if he was to ever die."

[Gene]

Gene grabbed his axe and slung it onto his back as he looked at the woman and the girl with the cat ears wander around the shop. He watched as they stopped at a stall and talked to the owner. He noticed that the woman had bought a dagger and had given it to the girl. He lumbered over to them and looked over at the owner of the stall who had a scowl on his face."It sounds like everyone here has lost someone close to him." he said stopping beside them.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

"Hmpft..." She said, with her sigh. She looking over at Gene, her pink eyes hidding the trust that she had for Tasha now. She blinked a few times, placing her hands on her hips, holding the dagger, by the blade, in her left hand. She looked at the sky as she spoke these next words, "I didn't lose just one person... I lost my whole family..." She moved her gaze to Gene, then Tasha.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha felt sorry for the girl. She knew what it was like to loose everything. she knew what it was like to try to be the best, and than end up with nothing. "I am sorry to here that. Do you need a place to stay?" she asked.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

She blinked a few times, then she asked, "Why are you being so nice to me? I mean, I don't mean to be rude, while your being so kind but..." She looked at the ground, she was being to rude to this female.

[Gene]

Gene looked at them."I'm sorry to hear that." he said rubbing his eye. He had no intention of hearing the girl's tale because he knew what it would lead to. But still a part of him wished he was able to help her."I can take you somewhere if you want as long as its near the coast." he said looking at the girl.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

Why do people feel bad for me? She thought, a sigh slipping out of her. I bet it's because I'm so young... She looked up at the people, a little tall for her age. She ran her finger's though her hair again and said, "I truly don't know were I would go..."

[Gene]

"If you need anything just ask." said the gigantic teen as he smiled happily at her."I don't really know how you feel but I did lose someone very close to me." he said his eyes glaning behind him towards the axe."But I know one person rarley ever stacks up against an entire family." ghe said with a deep sigh. He looked over the girl infront of him. She dressed diffrently then most people and she had pink eyes. He looked at the her tail and then towards the cat ears on her head.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

Her tail unwrapped from her left side, then wrapped around her right. She made this happen when she was embaressed, or feels like something bad is going to happen. She smiled up at him, a very small one at that. She looked up at him, as she said, "Thank you for your offer..." She couldn't help a very thin rose flushing on her cheeks, her hair covering it now.
"Life goes on... people live, and people die..." She said, another sigh slipping out of her. She didn't understand why she sighed as much as she did, she just did.

[Gene]

Gene nodded as he had to agree with what she was saying. It was wierd now that he thought of it he was here for the same reason. Because life goes on. He shuddered as he touched the axe on his back. "I'll come home and return your axe to you Gramps." he said quietly to himself as he immagined himself burrying the axe next to the grave.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

She nodded her head, her neko ears perked up all the way now. She could hear him slightly, though not all that great. She flipping her hair back, staring behind Gene at the market. She blinked a few times, this place would have some really good items, maybe even a robe or something like that, to place over to outfit.

[Gene]

Gene turned and looked at her."What are you two doing in the black market anyway?" he asked as he watched as people carried in dangerous objects. He saw gunpowder and swords and some bombs. He then looked at tasha and Neko. What were two girls doing in a place like this. He knew they were gonna ask why he was here aswell.

[Nekozawa Hoshino]

She shrugged, "I just wanted to get some shopping done. The other markets keep on kicking me out..." She hissed, making a fist by her side, her neko fangs flashing. She smelled the gunpowder, and she sneezed, rubbing her head.

[Tasha Xlio]

Tasha felt it was appropriate or her to respond now. She looked up at the pirate and smiled. "I just merely though it would be nice to see some new faces." she said wit ha sarcastic smile. She liked joking around with the close-minded.
