Ryoko stood silent at the doorway. She watched Hawthorne pack her bags. As her hands rested in her pockets, Ryoko sighed. It was a way of letting Hawthorne know she was here. " One of the traits of being a thief. You never know I'm here." She commented. Leaning back against the frame of the door, Ryoko pulled her hands out of her pockets and crossed them in front of her chest. She sighed once more and looked over to Hawthorne.

" What happened? You were so happy today." She said, a hint of sadness in her voice. She wanted to know what was going on, but didn't find it her place to ask. She wanted to comfort Hawthorne, but that was never Ryoko's thing. She wasn't good at doing that really. At this point, she felt rather useless. The only thing she could do was talk.

I changed the way my character looks, again. This is the third time, and hopefully the last.

*He went deathly calm when she stepped out. Well it seemed that she was pissed at him more then he thought. He shurgged and reached his right hand behind his back. He rested it gently there. His eyes raised to meet both of theirs in turn. He sighed and spoke calm, like he normal did. It was time to explain what happened so that way he could get on with what he had to do.*

"I will explain best I can what happened. We met on the beach. I was running and working out, she was relaxing. She called me over so I went over to talk to her. Then she told he she had come to swim. So I told her to join him in the water. She said she was trying to work her self up to it. I decided to help her along be tossing her in the water as a joke. Well so i picked her up over my shoulder and went for the water.

She had already planed on going in and was wearing a bathing suit so I figured nothing of it. Then she said she had to get her pants off before she got them soaked. I did not want her to run off and make me chase her, mainly because I was not in the mood for it at that time, So I removed her pants for her as she was on my shoulder. I did nothing but remove them, making sure I did not touch anything I was not supossed to and then tossed them to the beach.

Once that was done I walked in a bit more and tossed her into the cold water with a laugh. She did not seem upset then so I thought nothing of it. In fact she even went as far as to chalenge me to a race in the water. So we went swimming for a while. Then we got caught in an under tow so we had to swim out of that.

She then gave me a hard time back, saying I was getting tired and what not. I was not and my mood was off so I took off for shore, just wanting to get back to the shore so I could thinks some things thru and answer her when we got there. I guess she thought I was mad at her, even though I was not. So I explained to her that I was not getting tired just felt like going slow.

I then jumped to my feet and started to run away chalenaging her to the fact that she could not catch me. She got up and started after me. I ran backwards laughing at her as I often do when I chalenage people to races. Well she tired very hard to catch me. Then, her foot slipped and she hit the dirt, face first. I moved over to see if she was ok. She was, so I made another joke.

This one was about her showing her butt off to the world, because the postion she was in made her butt stick stright up like as if she was showing it off. I did not think anything of it. Then I reached out and gave her butt just a small pat to accent my joke. I did not think it would cause her to go crazy and start calling me her ex and saying things like she did not want to be beat up and things like that.

It made no sense to me, because I would never hit her like that. The only way she would ever get hit by me is in a sparing match. I did not know she was going to freak out over a small joke. I figured she knew by now that I like to play jokes and would have maybe thrown some dirt at me and say hey, or something. Worse I figured would happen is she scold me to touching her bottum and then I would have pledge never to do it again.

But instead I had to pin her down to keep her from running away and treat me like her ex. I had to yell at her that it was me not her ex several times and keep repeating that I was not going to hurt her for her to come back to me and release that it was me not her ex. Then she pretty much told me I was an ass and that she was leaving because she could not deal with me any more.

I have no idea what I did wrong so much that she would say that. I mean yes she asked me if I have a girlfriend, the answer is no. I do not have one. But I do have a girl I am interested in. But that does not mean I can not have fun with my friends and wrestle and play jokes.

So ya I only have one way I can figure on solving this."

*He pulled his tonto from behind his back and then kneeled down onto the floor. His right hand that held the blade held it out to Haw. His eyes took on a deadly serious look and his voice was cold and calm. He took a moment to allow him self to get ready to die.*

"My life is yours to take, for the crime I have commited apon you. Please use this blade and make the chose of wither you can forgive me, or if I must die."

*He continued to hold the blade out to her. He was nothing but serious now. He was going to settle this once and for all. Either she forgave him and did not kill him or she killed him and he went to the next world. If she did not chose then he had no chose but to kill him self in her stead as she did not deem him worth of her staining her hands with his blood. As such he was honor bound to do it for her.*
