Um, It’s Water?
“Shut up or I’ll put a cap in your ass.” Adrian growled at his latest job. Thinking about it he chuckled at the trembing man before him, “Actually, on second thought, squirm all you want. Either way you’re dead and I get paid.” He hadn’t a care for his victim. It was just a job, like every other one, since he was ten years old. “Yeah, beg. I might just be amused.” Laughing as the man struggled, it was truly entertaining. A gun shot echoed in the air and the man fell limp in Adrian’s clutches. “What the hell?!”
“Everyone’s looking for you.” a female voice stated without change in pitch. His mind raced as he tried to figure out who it was. Not that many female hit men or assassins were in the area. Though there was one and he truly hoped it wasn’t that one. “And does Sydney know you’re a sick bastard?”
It was her. “Damnit, Gabriel, What’s your problem?!” He really hated that woman. She was always ruining his fun. Killing was his most fun game and she always butted in at stupid times. And he wasn’t a sick bastard.
Sighing she muttered, “Just thought you should know. Oh, and put your prey out of his misery, you know, before you made him get on all fours or anything.” It was so easy to push the dude’s buttons, not to mention the fact it was really discussing what he did to his victims. Even when she did decapitate hers, it was simply for business, but he got pleasure from it. What a sick man.
“Fine, whatever. I’ll be getting back then.”he murmured, hopping on his Vespa and driving away. Curses filled his mind as he drove away. At least he’d still get paid, but it still left a bitter taste in his mouth. “I swear I’ll kill you one day.”One day soon he would. It would be the greatest day of his life.
Gabriel, figuring that she’d best get back as well, hid the body and headed home. It was Thanksgiving and she at least had to be around, though she wouldn’t be doing what the others had the years before. There was a reason no Hoshi Dormitory residents were forbidden to enter the majority of soup kitchen in the surrounding towns.
Amaya ran around the lowest floor of the dorm yelling loud enough for all to hear, “Everyone, come on!! I found a place that will give us food! It’s new and it’s not too far away, but we gotta hurry!” It had taken her all week to find a place that hadn’t heard of their reputation involving soup kitchens, which was truly an accomplishment, to say the least.
“What the hell is your problem?” Sydney muttered lazily, just awakening from her nap. She’d been up all night writing a paper that was due next class on the history of abstract art. To put it simply, she was wiped. Living off of caffeine and candy had the tendency to do it.
Jumping up and down excitedly, making a windmill-like arm motion, Amaya exclaimed, “Food! We’ve been living off Halloween candy and I found a place for real food!” Having a large grin spread across her face, she began laughing manically, “Food!!!!”
Cho, Sen, and Kite, who’d just snuck in threw his window came down. “We heard of food. Where is this that you speak of?!” Sen exclaimed. He’d been adapting well to the group and was one of them finally. It wasn’t exactly the best thing that ever happened to him, but it was good to know they weren’t out to kill him. “And where’s Gabriel?” he hadn’t seen a lot of the girl who intrigued him so, as of late. Ever since the night he’d seen her come down the hall looking like a character from The Grudge, his head had filled with questions which he wanted answers to.
Pointing up the stairs, Amaya shrugged, “Up there.” Hearing clanking noises, she knew it had to be Gabriel. “Does anyone know what she does in there anyway?” Gabriel was probably torturing someone or something.
A large explosion could be heard coming from the third floor, Gabriel’s voice called down directly after, “Um, that was not me.... And Sen, when did you get the weird sky light above your bed? Oh, and it’s raining. Real bad timing Sen.” What a stupid guy, he forgot to put the glass on it.
“What?!” Sen yelled as he ran up the two fleets of stairs quickly as possible to his room. Kicking the door open, his mouth dropped, “Crap.” There was a large hole directly above his bed and one threw the wall next to his bed, obviously coming from the same device.
Gabriel nonchalantly strolled into his room and observed the hole, “Hm, I wonder if the rain will ruin all your blankets and stuff... Probably..” She hadn’t a clue why the boy appeared to have tears in his eyes looking at what was left of his room. Was that suppose to make her feel bad? Who knew, she was never good at the emotion things.
“You did this didn’t you?!” Sen yelled, pointing at her accusingly. It was seriously going to ruin his entire room, the little bitch.
She yawned, running her fingers threw her hair, “Go eat your soup, Kiddo.” She already had to repair the hole in her wall and it would be easier to not having him on her case while doing so. Perhaps she could leave a hole or two in it, strictly for peeping’s purposes. It was the simplest way to know what was going on in the dorm. Almost as if on cue, Amaya’s yell came from the first floor telling Sen to move his ass down the stairs or they’d leave without him.
Accepting defeat, Sen quickly shoved his bed out of the rain and took off so that he could get free food.
Several hours later the motley crew returned to the dormitory. Everyone was carrying a large amount of food. They had successfully managed to get kicked out of another soup kitchen for the fourth consecutive year. “We’re home!” Cho screeched happily, as she began to take her plunder to the kitchen for safe keeping.
“After getting kicked out for eating everything.” Adrian muttered dryly. Dropping his food in a pile for someone else to take care of, he jumped onto the sofa, “And robbing all the refills.” At least they’d only got chased out of the place with a broom. Last time the people had used tazers to get them out.
Sydney growled, she hated stealing, at least most of her personalities did. “It didn’t have to be this way! Look at your coat! Do you even know how bloody much you spent on the damn thing?! We probably could have bought enough food to keep us fed for a year with that!!” Adrian was always blowing his money on all sorts of unless crap and that was rather annoying at times.
“Only a couple k.” Adrian shrugged, not understanding what the deal was. It was his money after all and he had a right to spend in as he pleased. Besides, he loved that leather jacket! Cho and Sydney glared at him evilly and slowly began closing in on Adrian, whom they planned to personally strangle with their bare hands.
Sen shook his head, a small smirk spread across his face. He’d grown quite accustom to the weirdness of the place. Deciding to head up to his room for a nap, if it wasn’t too soaked, he plodded up the stairs. Looking into his room, he was rather surprised to see Gabriel in his room, sitting huddled in the corner.
She quietly whimpered, “The water... is everywhere! The rain from the sky... It’s going to kill me!!!” This is what she got for trying to find the nail she accidentally dropped into his room.
Staring blankly, he walked up to her, “It’s water.” Gabriel was behaving like it was toxic or something and it was kind of freaking him out a little.
“No jack-fucking-shit!” she screeched, her body starting to shake in fear of becoming rained upon. Here’s your damn sign, moron!
“Eh heh..” he chuckled nervously, reaching for her arm, but quickly recoiled as he heard a low growl emit from her throat. She sounded like she was going to bite his arm off. “Geese, I just was going to carry you back to your room because you seem to be afraid of the water!” he muttered, emphasizing the word water, which only made her shutter more. Seeing her give him a slight nod okay, he picked her up, attempting to carry her with difficulty. “Could you please try not to crawl onto my head!” he said, trying to hold the wriggling girl.
Having a death grip on his neck she cried, “The water is too close.” She then proceeded to attempt to climb onto his head again.
Grumbling he walked into her room as best he could and sat down on her bed, becoming slightly uncomfortable. Her grey-blue walls were covered with very old looking torture devices and weaponry. Someone could easily kill themself simply by tripping in the room. Noting that she still hadn’t let go he began stroking he back. “You can calm down now. There’s not any water in here, Gabriel.” he said calmly. It was kind of a shock that someone like her could be afraid of something so harmless and common. After a few minutes Gabriel had cooled down leaving the two in an awkward silence. “So, um, don’t entertain much do you?”
She climbed off him, trying not to show how embarrassed she was, “No, now get out!” He was just about the only person who’d ever come into her room and made it out alive, which could easily change if he didn’t leave quickly.
“Okay, then!” Sen eeped frighted, running out of her room quickly.
Um, It’s Water?
“Shut up or I’ll put a cap in your ass.” Adrian growled at his latest job. Thinking about it he chuckled at the trembing man before him, “Actually, on second thought, squirm all you want.
