We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

A Night at the Shattered Blessing
Phantom raced through the streets with its loud hum. Once again the police were in pursuit of this speedy cycle, of course it was going too fast for them to even describe it, it was the speed that pointed him out.
His hair flapped in the air and he was pushing the bike further and further, it had finally reached it's natural max speed of 200 MPH and he was only half way there, of course that was due to detours.
The handling on his cycle allowed him to cut corners quickly, but he didn't expect to see what was around the next corner. As he cycle slightly skidded a roadblock of squad cars awaited him.
Isamu smiled as he sped faster and faster towards the roadblock. The officers may have been unsure of what he was doing, but he knew exactly what he was doing. Isamu pulled up on his motorcycle, causing a wheelie and as the cycle and a squad car came in contact the front wheels landed on the squad car pulling the rear over.
The cops raced into their vehicles but it was too late, Isamu had exceeded 200 MPH thanks to the NoS. A few miles later, Isamu had slowed down to 80 MPH and raced into the parking lot of the Shattered Blessing. As he came to a screeching halt, he spun the vehicle around parking perfectly the way he wanted.
Isamu had once again made an awesome entrance and was waving to the crowd that awaited as he turned the vehicle off and pulled his goggles up. Isamu searched the area for Knives and his friend, with as much time as he took, the should have been there by now.

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
OOC: This is just a short post, to add onto Isamu's post, and to conclude my other one. To get the entire incident in detail, see the post in the Living Quarters ^.^
IC:
Knives had arrived earlier than Isamu, but it was very unlikely, so Knives had expected Isamu to already be in the club. The entrance of the Mustang had been even more of a sight than the motorcycle, simply because the Mustang had flown in at nearly maximum speed, and done a series of drifts and whatnot on the way to its parking spce. The only reason that people gave Isamu more of a cheer was simply because the Mustang was missing a bumper, and so people expected the driver to have torn it off on accident (which wasn't what Knives had done) while on his rampage to the club.
When Knives finished parking, he looked over at Maria, to see what her reaction to the whole thing was. On his face was a huge grin, showing he had been excited as hell throughout the incident.

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
Maria's heart was racing from all the excitement. She was glad she had buckled her seatbelt, she mght have been tossed around otherwise. As they reached the club, she sat in the vehicle and watched Isamu's entrance. It wasn't as grand as Knive's but the people seemed to enjoy it more.
As Maria got out the car she fixed her dress slightly and grabbed her purse. She walked up to Knives, not grinning, but she was smiling.
"Your's was cooler!"
Maria looked back at Isamu then back to Knives, it was obvious that Isamuwas the loud playboy that just had to be the center of attention. She smiled slyly at Knives as a thought came to mind.
"Well, should we meet up with him now or in the club?"

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
OOC: Since my last post was just an entrance, this post is my real post. Sorry, DD, it's not really taking your turn. In fact, I think you'll agree that this works out better, since you'll have more to work with in your post, instead of trying to reply simply to what Maria said to Knives.
Knives stepped out of the car, and began to walk around to Maria's side. He would do the gentlemanly thing, and open the door to help her out. Unfortunately, by the time he'd gotten around the car, she had already climbed out on her own. At this, he frowned a bit, disappointed in himself for not helping her; but it wasn't a big deal. After a shrug, he put on his usual grin, and turned to lead her into the building.
"Your's was cooler!"
Knives blinked, and looked over at her. He had figured Isamu was already inside the building, since his bike was faster than the Mustang. But as he turned around, it was just in time to see Isamu pull into the parking lot in some crazy fashion. He'd heard the roar of the bike, of course; but he hadn't cared much, since, being in a parking lot, there were engines roaring all over the place. But Knives did laugh as he saw Isamu. "Yeah, I know I was." He grinned a big, happy grin to Maria.
"Well, should we meet up with him now or in the club?" He laughed. "Let's go on over there now." With another smile in her direction, he headed off towards Isamu. He raised an arm up in the air, waving to the other guy, still carrying his goofy grin. "Hey, there. I can't believe you got beaten by a stock Mustang!"

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing"Hey, there. I can't believe you got beaten by a stock Mustang!"
Isamu's head snapped in the direction of the voice, it was he expected to hear. He laughed a little as he pulled a cigar out of Phantom's storage and lit it, ending with the closing of the storage and Isamu locking up his motorcycle.
"Hey, what do you expect when the cops are on your tail?"
He responded slyly. The truth was he hadn't felt like waiting for Knives to show up and had decided to have fun, but Knive's didn't need to know that. After he had taken a drag from the cigar and puffed the smoke out he spoke again.
"So are we waiting in line or paying the bouncer?"
Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
(might as well stick myself in here)
It was the first night Dango had been out after the 'incident', and to tell you the truth - she would never deny the freedom of being able to walk again. She still had nightmares, those would never end, but tonight she was out looking for someone that wasn't Knives.
She felt sick to her stomach.
The club was bustling as always and seemed to be even more popular than that night she saw it torn to sheds by two very powerful mf's. Half of those people, she guessed, were sticking around to see if it would happen again.
Maybe it was part of the reason she was there -
Either way, she was now standing beside the bouncer, whom she had become good friends with since the other night.
"You haven't seen them?"
"Are you kidding? You know how much money they owe this club for repairs?"
"I can imagine - "
"I mean, I know the agency fronted it but that wasn't very fair to you guys. Especially not to such a gorgeous lass like yourself"
"Now now Adam, compliments like that will cost you"
"Shit, I don't get paid enough here. What do you think? Could I be an agent?"
Dango looked him over and chuckled, deciding to nod anyway - might as well be nice to the dreamer.
"Oh yeah, I could see you bustin out the moves like there was no tomorrow - "

Maria followed and listened, she did't care about putting her two cents in. She had joined them last minute so she would leave it to them to decide what to do.
"Hey, what do you expect when the cops are on your tail?"
The statement caught Maria's interest. Why would the cops be on his tail if he had a good motorcycle. She shook off the though after his question. Once again, she held her toungue, it was for Knives to decide, not her.

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing"Hey, what do you expect when the cops are on your tail?"
Knives laughed. He'd somewhat thought of that; of course, even if he was fast enough, cops had radios, helicopters, and roadblocks. He just grinned and turned his head to glance back at the Mustang that he'd driven to the club. One hand raised up, so that he could point back at said Mustang with his thumb, and his eyes returned to DD. "Yeah, that's why you use a government vehicle." He laughed a little.
"So are we waiting in line or paying the bouncer?"
The dog boy frowned, as he turned to look at the entrance. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a very long line trailing out from it; they would have to stand there for hours before getting in. Knives sighed, and shook his head as he looked back at Isamu. Then, with a shrug, he said, "I don't have much money. But there's no way in hell I wanna stand in that line." His hand slid down, and came to rest on the hilt of his sword absentmindedly. And then, his eyes widened slightly, and his grin returned. He glanced down at his sword, then back at Isamu. "Oh! I know! We can flash our weapons at him! He'd have to let us in then!"
He turned, and began to half-run, half-jog towards the front of the line. As he did so, he called out, "C'mon!" And, with a big grin on his face, moved all the way to the door without standing in line. People all throughout it glared at him, but he paid them no mind; he wasn't going to wait that long just to get into a stupid club. Especially not when he was stronger than even the bouncer...
But that plan immediately changed for the better when his eyes fell upon Dango. He hadn't even been paying attention, and hadn't picked up her scent. But when he saw her, the object of his desire, a huge grin was immediately plastered across his face. He raised an arm in the air, and waved energetically at her, calling out, "Dango! Hey there!"
Once he came to stand before her, he stopped, and beamed happily down to her. "Hey, whatcha doin here?! You shoulda told me you were comin here, I woulda taken you myself!" He smiled. That was when he realized that what he would have taken her in was actually more hers than his. Immediately, he dug into his pocket and fished out the keys to the Mustang, before extending his hand to offer them to her. "Oh, and I believe these belong to your agency." He raised a hand to the back of his head, scratching it, as he put on a sheepish grin. "I kinda tore the bumper off of it that night, trying to get back to help you....tell your dad I'm sorry, I'll replace it if I can..."

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
Isamu had stared at the vehicle as Knives mentioned it, it was cool, but it had nothing on Phantom. 'When is he going to return that anyways?' The thought of the owner reminded Isamu of some past events, but he pushed the thought out of his mind, Knives was obviously sorry about the incident and even though that didn't make it completely ok, Isamu knew he would have to learn to deal with it.
"I don't have much money. But there's no way in hell I wanna stand in that line."
"Thats fine dude, I have so-"
"Oh! I know! We can flash our weapons at him! He'd have to let us in then!"
Isamu's face went blank, Knives was kidding right. Why would he even think of doing that, there would be no way they could get into the club that way. Even if the did, the bouncer would just call the authorites, something Isamu definately didn't need.
"C'mon!"
"W-Wait ya fool! Youre going to get us arrested!"
Isamu started chasing after Knives, he was clearly out of his mind. Isamu couldn't help but laugh though, it was funny how people lacked common sense sometimes. Isamu was having a great time but it all faded and his happiness disappeared at the site of her.
"Dango! Hey there!"
Why did she have to show up? He didn't hate her, truth was he still cared for her. The problem was he figured they wanted each other, at least according to what Yoko had to say, Isamu never really payed attention to Knives that day. Anger had clouded his mind then and it was clouding his now,
"I'll let you two lovebirds have your fun..."
Isamu's tone wasn't the playful one he had had when he was messing with the girl and boy in the garden, this one was the same as the day he had found out about the two. Yes, it would indeed be cruel to not accept their relationship, but that didn't mean Isamu had to accept it just yet.
"...Later!"
With a small wave, he quickly turned the other way, headed towards his motorcycle, all he would have to do is hop on and escape. The authorities were definately looking for him, but taking the right route could help him avoid that.
Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing"Dango! Hey there! Hey, whatcha doin here?! You shoulda told me you were comin here, I woulda taken you myself!"
"Huh?"
Dango wasn't expecting Knives at the club tonight, but she was also quirking her eyebrow as he rushed in and handed her the keys. Just what had he been doing? It looked like he was getting himself in trouble, and using her car to do it.
"Um, Knives, what the hell is going on?"
It was tough to judge something like that, but the situation didn't look very good from Dango's stand point - especially when Knives handed her back the keys.
"I kinda tore the bumper off of it that night, trying to get back to help you....tell your dad I'm sorry, I'll replace it if I can..."
"I see - "
Then Dango saw Isamu, and he didn't look too happy.
"I'll let you two lovebirds have your fun..."
"Wait! Isamu - - "
"later"
Why did men have to be so difficult, she never said that she was dating Knives. It was all that meddling sister of his fault. She really wasn't liking Yoko too much now, and Dango was already feeling like Knives had used her car for more than just the hospital run -
"I have to go."
She was quiet, in an apparent rush, and gave her nod to the bouncer before making her way towards the door.
"I'll see you at school"
With a wave to Knives she headed to the car, knowing that her dad wasn't going to be too pleased.

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
OOC: sorry, hickey >.> if you think about it, I helped you, by giving you something to respond to in this post....
IC:
Knives frowned as he turned around to see Isamu speeding off. He had hoped that the kid had gotten over it by now; but obviously he hadn't. A deep sigh escaped the dog boy, as he turned back to look at Dango again. He gave a shrug in her direction, and tilted his head to the side. "I dunno, he seemed fine before...I think he's still mad at me..." He frowned, and glanced to the ground for a moment.
She tried to get him to stop, to no avail. Knives just shook his head, still frowning a bit. "I, uhhm...I don't think that'll work. He doesn't seem to want to talk to either of us about it..." He gave a small shrug. "I'm guessing he just needs some time to think..." He raised a hand to run it through his hair, lowering his head slightly and closing his eyes. This action gave him an air as if he knew what he was saying....but he was really just hoping he was right.
"I have to go."
"I...wait..." He lifted his head, and blinked a couple of times, as he stared at her confusedly. His head tilted to the side, and his jaw hung slightly open. He couldn't understand what had just happened. Had he done something wrong? A frown appeared on his face. "What? Why? But...I..." He sighed, as he watched her walk away. He waved back to her, though there wasn't as much energy in it this time. He seemed very disappointed with how the night had turned out.
And then, a sudden realization hit him. His head snapped up, and he blinked. "Wait, how am I gonna get home, now?" He asked himself, frowning. He scratched his head, and began to run out towards the parking lot, hoping that Dango hadn't left yet. On the way, he passed Maria, and he waved for her to follow him.

Re: A Night at the Shattered Blessing
Maria thought the idea of them running at the bouncer with weapons drawn would have been quite funny, so when Knives took off so did she. It was awkard to her though, one moment they were ready to go clubbing, the next they were leaving.
It seemed there was some past hostility between Knive's friend Isamu and the girl that showed up, all Maria knew was that she had to follow Knives if she didn't want to walk home alone.

OOC: I have been wanting to execute this SL for a while now, and this is the perfect time to do it....so if you want to go along with it...cool, if not Yoko can do it by herself ^..^
IC:
Isamu cared for nobody at the moment, he simply ran to Phantom, hopped on and started it. Quickly he glanced back at his "friends", he thought things would be fine, but he just wasn't ready. Throwing his cigar down to ground, he sped off.
He had only made it down the block before he heard sirens, how did they find him so quickly? When he glanced in his side mirrors thats when panic struck him. The sirens didn't belong to a squad car, but a capture unit deployed by The Corporation.
Isamu did his best to send a distress signal to Yoko before withdrawing Beast and opening fire. The gun shots and sirens would clearly be heard at The Blessing, but it didn't matter. Isamu was trying his best to get away, but its was impossible.
Isamu was at full speed and the vehicle was still closing in, drastic times caused for drastic measures. Taking the keys out of the bike, he threw them to the side of the street in hopes Yoko would remember all of this.
He allowed the bike to coast a while before being rear ended by the SUV and sent skidding down the street. It gave him a few moments to think, they must have followed him from MHS and were planing to capture him in the club.
Isamu tried running but it was useless against The Corporation's newest "weapons". The brought Isamu down quickly and sedated him.
A few hours later, Isamu awoke in a cell, stripped of his weapons. He knew where he was, he recognized the cell's design. As he looked out the cell he sighed and rested his head down, if Yoko didn't get that distress signal, Isamu would be there for quite some time.
Re: ~Captured~
Dango was long gone before Knives had a chance to arrive at the parked car. She had alot of things on her mind, ranging from why Knives had brought the car to the club in the first place, why he was wielding a weapon to get into the club, and why Isamu was suddenly playing the 'don't want to talk to nobody, don't want any explanations, fuck off' martyr.
What a crappy day, and she didn't even see the person she wanted to see at the club in the first place. Not that it mattered, seeing he obviously didn't want to see her.
This was why she was glad for this 5 speed automobile, it helped her to get her tension unwound. It didn't take her long to run into Isamu on PHANTOM, and it was obvious he was in trouble.
She decided to follow.
-- later --
The corporation. This place was familiar. Was the agency and the corporation the same place? They seemed to recongize her as soon as she walked to the door. The door buzzed open, letting her passage, and two guards were there to greet her.
She recongized them.
"What are you guys doing here? I thought you worked for the agency"
"We figured you would come here eventually, Vicegrip"
"Where is Isamu? Why are you guy's after him?"
"That 'Isamu' is more trouble than he is worth. He is locked in holding cell 101"
"In a cell? Perfect. Now he will have to listen to what I have to say."
"We warned your father about enrolling you in that school."
"Stop the interregation and just give me the keys"
The guards laughed.
"You will have 30 minutes, Isamu is going to be locked away for a long time"
"Under what charge?"
"Maybe you will get lucky and he will tell you"
Dango didn't bother with anymore questions, instead she let the guard lead her to the holding cell that Isamu was in.
Boy, did he look like hell.
The cell door buzzed open, Dango looked up and waved to the little camera as she walked through and the gate was closed behind her. She turned to the guard -
"A little privacy would be nice"
"Remember. 30 minutes"
"Yeah, you don't have to keep on telling me"
The guard left, leaving Isamu and Dango in the cell alone. With a grunt, Dango took her seat on the cot next to him.
"Alright Isamu. You mind telling me what's going on?"

Re: ~Captured~
"FUCK!" Knives yelled at the top of his voice, as he reached the parking lot. He spun around, and plopped down on the curb. Frustrated, he ran his fingers through his hair, leaving them atop his head for a moment, head tilted back, eyes closed. He inhaled deeply. Then he exhaled deeply. This was supposed to be a fun night, and now everything had gone terribly wrong.
"Was Dango mad at me? She sure got out of here in a hurry...and Isamu ran off too...I thought that shit was over with him..." He thought to himself, frowning, finally dropping his arms into his lap and lowering his head again. His hair quickly fell back into its usual, messy-curly position. Then, he added to his thoughts out loud. "DAMNIT ALL!"
"Knives, what exactly is going on here?"
Knives glanced back at Maria, before his eyes returned to the ground beneath him. He sighed deeply, and shook his head, before speaking. His tone was one of frustration and disappointment, with a slight growl of anger....partly at himself, partly at the situation in general, but he didn't focus any of that anger at any person. "That was Dango," He said, lifting his head to look towards the parking lot's exit, pointing as well even though she was long gone. Then, he looked back up to Maria. "She's the girl I love. I guess I musta done somethin wrong, I think she's mad at me." He frowned at this thought. "And obviously Isamu's still pissed about the situation between her and me....." Another sigh, and a hesitation. "And now we have no way of getting home. What a night, huh?" As he said that last sarcastic bit, there was a slight growl in his voice.
Gunshots. They came from the direction both Isamu and Dango had come from. Maria may or may not have heard it, but Knives's sensitive ears picked it up with no problem. His head jerked up, and his eyes looked straight in that direction as if he could see for miles, through all of the things between him and the situation. He knew nothing of the Corporation, but he knew Isamu was angry at him and Dango. "Did he...did he shoot her?!" Knives didn't think it was possible, but he had no other explanation to work with. And Isamu ~had~ pulled his gun on Knives before for this reason...it was fine if Isamu shot Knives, the dog boy wouldn't do anything about it. But Dango? That was just wrong.
With an angry glare on his face, Knives jumped up. "You can come with me, Maria, or you can go to the club. I'm gonna go see what the hell Isamu is doing." His tone was cold, angry. It would probably be dangerous, and Knives wanted Maria to know that; but he wasn't going to stop her if she did come. After all, she was from MHS, and had to have powers of some sort.
And then, Knives looked around. How was he going to make it to that place? They had no vehicle, no way to get there fast enough. "DAMNIT ALL! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS NIGHT?! WILL NOTHING WORK OUT?!" He wanted to scream, to tear something apart. But he didn't. He wouldn't vent his rage unnecessarily; but it would all come out when he found something or someone who deserved it.
He dug into his back pocket, and tore his wallet out with unnecessary force. Looking inside, he didn't have much cash on him...but he had a debit card. He stormed out to the main road, where a taxi was stopped, waiting for the light to change colors. Fortunately, no one was in the back. Caring nothing for what the driver had to say, Knives climbed in the back; the door was open, which was lucky for the driver, as he would have simply torn it off. Nighttime was coming; and though his powers were still sealed, he was mad, and frustrated, he was damn near tapping into some of it...
"What the hell?!" The driver turned around to yell at him. Knives glared at him, and bared his fangs. Immediately, the driver snapped around to look at the road. Knives growled at him. "Go straight. I'll guide you to my destination. And if you can't go fast enough, let me drive. And by fast, I mean your goal is 100 mph."
"You've gotta be shitting me!" The driver looked at him in the mirror. With that, Knives climbed up front, grabbed the guy by the collar, and threw him into the back seat. Then, assuming Maria was with him, he leaned over and opened the door for her, giving her enough time to get in before he sped off.
It was an automatic, which frustrated the hell out of Knives. He couldn't shift for more power, he couldn't control the car's transmission to get more out of the engine. It wasn't the Mustang, but at least it was fast. Knives said nothing the entire time, he just glared straight ahead, flooring it, pushing the car as fast as it could go. Again, he swerved around cars, into the wrong lane, even drove through busy red lights. The whole time, the Taxi driver in the back was screaming and yelling, obviously afraid for his life and his job. Knives ignored him. Isamu and Dango were long gone by now; but he could smell both of them, headed towards the same place. So he followed that scent.
Soon enough, he arrived. He drove straight at the building's front doors, flooring it the whole way. In the back, the driver screamed his lungs out, covering his eyes, ducking and huddling on the back seat as if it would save him. Knives still ignored him. Suddenly, he spun the wheel to the right, and slammed on the brakes, so that the car's back end drifted around. Then, once he was parallel to the curb, he countersteered the wheel in the other direction, so that the car drifted completely sideways, coming to a stop just before it ran up the curb. It rocked one way, extending one side of the suspension pretty far, before coming back to stop. He was in the perfect parallel parking position. Knives glanced at the meter, and then swiped his debit card, before getting out of the car without a word.
He stormed up the sidewalk, to the front doors of the building. He stepped through the doors, and looked up at the guards. "Where are Dango and Isamu?" He demanded. His tone held little emotion, though his face told them he was very angry. Fortunately, he had left his sword in the car; they wouldn't be able to do anything to him for possessing a weapon.

Re: ~Captured~
OOC: Keep isamu here, its for SL purposes.
IC:
Isamu sat there on the ground, he was sure he would either be executed, or become yet another experiment. Most likely, option two. He sat there in his pod like cell, alone. He didn't care, at least his was finally all alone for once.
It may have seemed awkward, but there was hapiness within him, he had all the time in the world to think. He combed his fingers through his hair and at the same time the buzzing of his cell went off.
"Already at it.. with... the..."
The sound of pressured air being released and the cell door lifting caused Isamu to lift his head towards the door. He expected one of the suits to show up, instead it was Dango.
The anger he felt for her rose to another level, he should have guessed thats how the Corporation knew where he would be and how they captured Take. Quickly he stood up to get away from her, first the knives thing now this. Things were just getting worse and worse.
"Alright Isamu. You mind telling me what's going on?"
"Well, you should know Dango....you work for them!"
Isamu was obviously upset from this, he really liked Dango and for her to be working with the Corporation really bummed him. It made him feel stupid for trying to be with her. He still felt those feelings, but were they right now, and if they were would she ever feel the same just because she felt them and not because she worked for his enemy?
Isamu quickly dropped himself to the floor so he could sit and faced Dango. He didn't know what to say to her, had she betrayed his trust or was she another pawn, easily tricked by the Corporation's higher-ups.
"Why are you here anyways, I'm not important... you should have just stayed at the club. There is no reason for you to see me."
Re: ~Captured~
The guards wouldn't let Knives into the building. Not only did he not have clearance, but the potential threat was obvious on the dog boy's face. They merely shook their heads and returned to their posts, there was no way the boy would get through the doors.
Meanwhile - -
"Well, you should know Dango....you work for them!"
"Don't start your accusations Isamu! I just found out myself that we are connected to eachother in more ways than I realized! I had no idea that the corporation you spoke of, and the agency were the same thing up until now!"
"Why are you here anyways, I'm not important... you should have just stayed at the club. There is no reason for you to see me."
"No reason? God dammit Isamu, stop being such an arrogant asshole for once and just listen to me!"
Dango had to stand up, she had to stand up and gather herself, calm herself down before she continued her talk with Isamu. Quietly her slender fingertips wrapped around the cold metal bars, her chestnut hues adjusting to the soft light of the cell as she exhaled a long, deep breath.
"I liked you from the moment I saw you Isamu. But I was attracted to your appearance, and that isn't fair to either of us. You didn't give us a chance to learn more about eachother, you seem more attracted to my ideal than you do to me. And frankly, as I told your sister, I don't even think you want me. I think you just want somebody and for that reason I don't know why your taking this thing between Knives and I so hard. We aren't dating. I don't love him, not yet - even if I do care more for him right now than I do you. But tell me, honestly, are you really that surprised?"
Finally Dango looked at him, turning around with her back against the bars she looked at him seriously.
"I am not worth losing your friendship with Knives over, do you understand that? I never asked for any of this. You will find someone else Isamu, so don't ruin who you are just because of me. I want you and Knives to be with someone who can give you both what I can't. But its up to you Isamu, I can't make you. All that I ask is for you to stop being angry at Knives because I can assure you, he is a true friend."

Isamu felt stupid for his accusations after that. He was just screwing things up with Dango further and further, it seemed everything he did put him further into the hole. Isamu may have been facing Dango, but his eyes were focused on the ground. He couldn't look her in the eyes, not at the moment anyways.
"Why are you here anyways, I'm not important... you should have just stayed at the club. There is no reason for you to see me."
"No reason? God dammit Isamu, stop being such an arrogant asshole for once and just listen to me!"
Isamu's eyes darted towards Dango, why was she getting so upset? Why did he need to listen? Did she have something important to say? It was obvious his questions were about to be answered. Isamu quickly rose to his feet as she did, what was going on?
"I liked you from the moment I saw you Isamu. But I was attracted to your appearance, and that isn't fair to either of us.

Isamu layed down on what he would be calling a bed and rested his hands under his head. He had to think about what she said, yeah it seemed like he was after a lot of girls but he was just naturally flirtatious.
Besides, he had met Dango after Gloria....he hadn't said much to Gloria after he met Dango until the dance, and that was because he figuered Dango and Knives were together. But still, he had to say something, he had to explain things.
"I have liked you since I first saw you too Dango, and I feel bad for not allowing us to get to know each other better but I just got too excited I guess." He sighed before continuing, 'why did it all have to happen this way?' "I do want you Dango, I honestly do, but I don't know how to do things right I guess. I've never been in a relationship so I don't know how things go. I guess I'm taking his so hard because I really like you, and even if Knives likes you more, it doesn't mean I don't like you. I guess I shouldn't be suprised, I messed things up between you and I that night at the hotsprings."
Isamu sighed, he didn't want to be pitied or anything like that. He was simply speaking his mind. He sat up so that he could lean against the wall, he wanted to face Dango while he spoke to her.
"I am not worth losing your friendship with Knives over, do you understand that? I never asked for any of this. You will find someone else Isamu, so don't ruin who you are just because of me. I want you and Knives to be with someone who can give you both what I can't. But its up to you Isamu, I can't make you. All that I ask is for you to stop being angry at Knives because I can assure you, he is a true friend."
He sighed, "Dango, no girl is worth two guys losing their friendship over, and even though you didn't ask for it....sometimes you just have to deal with the cards you were dealt...or sumthin like that." Isamu sighed again. "Dango, I understand that I may find someone else, but that doesnt mean I don't want to be with you. If you want to stay friends, I'm fine with that, I just things would have been different. But yes I am angry with Knives and a little angry with you, but I'll be fine, I just need time alone...heh...I guess I have plenty of time to be alone now!"
He joked with the last part, knocking on the wall of his cell. He smiled as he looked into Dango's eyes, she was beautiful and he didn't want to see her upset. Thats why he would sacrifice his happiness for theirs.
"Look Dango, I don't know if you want to be with Knives or not, but he obviously want to be with you. Yeah I care for you a lot but there isn't much I can do. If you want to be with him, be with him....I won't stop you, but if you don't let him know? Don't let me affect what you two have, I doubt I'll be out of here soon, so just know I care for you a lot, and I always will. But if I had any chance with you know, its squashed being locked up here, so just do what makes you happy, ok?"
Isamu knew he would kick himself in the ass for it later, but when someone truly cares for someone, they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that person happy, and this was no exception.
"....so thirty minutes hasn't passed yet....anything else you want to talk about?"
Re: ~Captured~"I do want you Dango, I honestly do, but I don't know how to do things right I guess. I've never been in a relationship so I don't know how things go. I guess I'm taking his so hard because I really like you, and even if Knives likes you more, it doesn't mean I don't like you. I guess I shouldn't be suprised, I messed things up between you and I that night at the hotsprings."
"You worried about that night at the hotsprings? You really shouldn't you know, things happen. We can't change the past, only work on the future."
"Look Dango, I don't know if you want to be with Knives or not, but he obviously want to be with you. Yeah I care for you a lot but there isn't much I can do. If you want to be with him, be with him....I won't stop you, but if you don't let him know?

But if I had any chance with you know, its squashed being locked up here, so just do what makes you happy, ok?"
Dango was looking towards the gate door, a sigh escaping her lips as her head lowered. There was something bothering her, something she wasn't sure she should admit. And then it happened, coming out from her lips like word vomit.
"I don't want Knives."
At that time she was glad Knives couldn't hear through solid doors, at least - she hope she couldn't. She was expecting to talk about this to Yoko, not to Isamu. Somehow it just came out.
"When you get to the point that you like someone so much, you think that you will be an awesome couple but when it happens or when its start happening you realize that you would much rather stay friends? And then without even realizing it at the time, you finally see just how much the other person has grown to like, even love you, but you don't feel the same - but you know if you don't say yes, it will ruin the friendship you have? I can't help thinking about how much I will be giving up, if knives chooses to resent me because I don't want to be with him."
With a staggered breath, Dango now faced Isamu again.
"I think that him and I might need a break from eachother for a little while - but I don't know how to tell him."

Re: ~Captured~
Knives couldn't get in. That pissed him off even more. If he thought it would do any good, he would've torn off the heads of those agents with his bare hands, just to get inside. He wanted to talk to Dango, to make sure she was alright; he was worried that she had been hurt. But on top of that, he wanted to have a serious talk with her....though, now wasn't the time, he wouldn't even mention it when he saw her next.
Without another word, Knives turned around and stormed out of the building. When he came to the door, he pushed it as hard as he could, as if using excessive force would calm him down. It didn't; it just cracked the door when it swung open and hit the wall. But he kept walking, all the way out to the street, where he sat down on the curb. And then, frowning, he buried his face into his knees.
So many things had gone wrong tonight. He had just wanted to patch things up with Isamu....and here, he'd somehow managed to screw things up with both of them in one night. Another deep sigh escaped him. He just sat there with his eyes closed, his face in his knees with his arms wrapped around to keep all light and vision out. He just wanted to think, to calm down for a second.
"Ok...those were agents..." He sighed. "Dango's not hurt...this must be one of her agency's buildings....maybe nothing's wrong...." He frowned at this thought. But Dango hadn't wanted to talk to him at the club....He shook his head slightly. "Don't worry about it, Knives. It's gonna be ok....even if she doesn't like you, she's still your friend, ok? That's all I need right now, anyways." Another sigh, and a nod. he picked his head up from his knees, and looked straight ahead. All he saw was the parking lot, lit up by the glow of several lights, and the taxi up agains the curb beside him. He seemed calm now, but not his usual self yet.
"I...What do I do now?" He asked himself aloud, not caring who heard him. "I can go home..." He mumbled to himself. "But should I wait and see Dango, make sure she's alright? I would have done that before....after all, she ~is~ my best friend....this isn't about trying to make her like me, this is about being a caring friend." He nodded to himself. And so, he sat there. He'd wait for a bit to see if she came out; and if she didn't, then he'd have no other choice but to head back to the campus.
He pulled his cell phone from his pocket, and glanced down to check the time. They'd been there for nearly a half hour, but not quite. There was no rush, she may be in there for a while longer....

Re: ~Captured~"You worried about that night at the hotsprings?"
"Well....yeah-"
"You really shouldn't you know, things happen. We can't change the past, only work on the future."
There was a brief moment of silence before Isamu spoke again. He wasn't sure what the right thing to say yes, but he had made a decision and so then he spoke.
"Look Dango, I don't know if you want to be with Knives or not, but he obviously want to be with you. Yeah I care for you a lot but there isn't much I can do. If you want to be with him, be with him....I won't stop you, but if you don't let him know?

But if I had any chance with you know, its squashed being locked up here, so just do what makes you happy, ok?"
"I don't want Knives."
Isamu's eye went wide after that, was she serious? Perhaps Isamu still had a chance, but that wasn't the first thing that came to mind. The first thing he thought of was how Knives would react when he found out. Sure he was upset with him, but that didn't mean he didn't care about his friends' feelings, both Dango and Knives.
"When you get to the point that you like someone so much, you think that you will be an awesome couple but when it happens or when its start happening you realize that you would much rather stay friends? And then without even realizing it at the time, you finally see just how much the other person has grown to like, even love you, but you don't feel the same - but you know if you don't say yes, it will ruin the friendship you have? I can't help thinking about how much I will be giving up, if knives chooses to resent me because I don't want to be with him."
"I don't know what to say Dango, I have never been in a situation like thst. What I can say though is that if Knives is a true friend, he won't resent you..."
As she looked at him he offered for her to sit next to him, he felt it was the most comforting thing to do. Isamu was still taking in what had happened withn the past few hours. At first he was leaving his room, ready to go clubbing, now he was locked in a cell talking to Dango. What else would happen?
"I think that him and I might need a break from each other for a little while - but I don't know how to tell him."
"Maybe you do, maybe you don't Dango. Things may be awkward at first but I'm sure things will all blow over in the end. I have a feeling Dango, that when the time comes, you'll know what to say. You're good with words, lets just say that!"
Isamu stared out past the bars for awhile, he was worried. HE was worried about what would happen between all of them, he was worried about whether or not Knives would be ok, and he was also worried about wheter or not he would spend the rest of his life in this building.
He knew that the only reason he was being kept alive, was that he was going to become an experiment. He didn't care though, it would at least give him a chance to escape again, when he came to that realization he smiled and looked back at Dango.
"Promise me this, that if everything is fine when I get out of here...that we will all go out for drinks somewhere." His tone was cheery, he was trying his best to lighten up the mood.
