The Tavern 3.0

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: -sits in a room and thinks- .....what can I do? -she seems so lost and hasn't left the room as she avoided kaz and kooji for a long time-

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

As the sun disappears behind the clouds, a snowflake falls on Kooji's nose. He goes cross-eyed trying to see it and he smiles. "All alone, friend?" The snowflake melts and he sighs. He felt as if that moment had some sort of profound meaning, but the moment had already passed. A half hour goes by while Kooji thinks about that moment and before he knows it, he is buried in snow as the snowfall had picked up.

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: -goes outside for a walk without a jacket on as she doesn't mind the cold- ....its quiet -trips on kooji andfalls in the snow- ....ow... -sits up and looks at what she tripped on-

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji's head pokes out frum under the snow and he looks around and sees Kurochi.

"Kurochi! I-Im sorry I didnt mean to trip you!"

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: Kooji.... -backs up a bit only to fall back in the snow and sits there as she remembers the last time they talked-

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji stares at her and then breaks eyes contact, sighing

"Hey..."

He wanted to say more but words were not his ally at the moment

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: hi.... -is surprized he is different this time and forgets that there was a cut on her forehead but it was hidden from her hair and another cut on the hand from the second fall as her body had become a bit numb from the cold- ....

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji notices a blood stain in the snow forming under her hand and he looks back up at her

"Your hand..." He says, pointing to the red patch in the snow under her hand

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: ... I'm fine... -looks at her hand then back to him-

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji nods and he sees a trickle of blood fall down her face and shakes his head, remaining silent

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: ..... -thinks- ...kooji...I need to talk to you... -sighs- you can hate me or whate-ever....but i need to say something

 

[Madara ibn Lahad]

Jiryuko stares at the small camp fire he started... His lifeless eyes watch the flames burn away the wood.

"Hn... Time to start.."

He slowly gets up and begins his trek towards the tavern.

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji looks up at her curiously. The falling snow had already begun to pile up on him but he didnt notice due to his cold, dead body

"Hm? What is it Kurochi?"

She had piqued his interest

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: -sighs- I can't believe I am saying this but -kneels down infront of him- listen there is alot I have to say. One, you were a good friend. Two, in the past when I punched you in the jaw I am sorry for that. Three, This was something kaz and I talked about but I can't hide it any longer, I did like you...I did but knowing that you are gone and such...I can't do that you or I. Also... -thinks to herself, "This may set him off."- I wanted to kill karina and I won't get the information you want from kaz.

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

The moment she says the words 'I did like you...' his stomach twists. Did like? As in not anymore? What could he have done to fix that? A million questions run through his head until she says 'I wanted to kill Karina' As if a light switch went off in his head, he saw her in a new light, like she had stepped out from behind a curtain. As he looked into her eyes, he saw a sort of determination that he hadn't seen in many, many years, but he couldnt quite place his finger on where he had seen it.

He opens his mouth to respond but nothing comes out

"I..."

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: -looks at kooji and pulls him up- Don't care if you can't feel the cold lets go inside -steps back by one footstep then looks at the tavern then at the snowfall-

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

The warmth of her hand seemed to blanket his hand in warmth and it felt comforting so he holds on as she walks away, following her. He didnt quite understand what he was feeling. Anxiety? Nervousness? All he knew was that he didnt understand why she didnt say something else on the matter of what she said. After all, he didnt give her a response. Perhaps she was waiting for him. As they walk into the tavern, he starts to build up courage to say something

"Kurochi..."

 

[AlexUchina]

Kurochi: Hm? -looks at him as she lets go of his hand and sits down- what's up? -blows on her hands as they are a bit cold from the snow and the two cuts have disappeared-

 

[Madara ibn Lahad]

Jiryuko walks in a few minutes after the others...

"..."

He sees that they are having a moment so he heads towards the bar counter

 

[Uchiha Kooji]

Kooji doesnt notice Jiryuko walking in, he was too involved in the moment

"Uhm...What you said before...what...what did it all mean?"
