Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm sure. And all the people you cared for are the ones your probably ******** over yourself, Denzien. I wouldn't be surprized if You're the one who put the gash on Tsurai!"

Alex shook with anger, but she wouldn't dare touch Isiah more than she already had; even if he was ex-, he could still kill her 50 times over.

She reluctantly turned her back to the man to get something out of her tent. It was a dirty vase full of some salve.
She grabbed a fistful of dirt anf put it in, placing her hand on the top of the vase, and the other grabbing it hard as she shook the dirt in the rather heavy substance. After about a full minute of that, she threw the glass at Isiah.

"You put it on him if you know so much, then, Denzien." She growled, wiping the stuff she'd gotten on her palm over Tsurai's face, around the burnt-closed gash.

She growled right back.

"I know PLENTY about it! All you do is fight and kill and then you lick your wounds like the ******** rats you are!" she yelled.

Then, she later said, "I don't even know why Tsurai is hanging out with you. And it's called witchcraft, dumbass. Medically, Salve is for treating the pox. Dirt is for no itching. I've got my own damn reasons for the ingredients, so I'd shut my a** if I were you, Denzien, because if it isn't for me, 'Your' Tsurai would still have a huge gaping gash and chicken pox tomorrow."

Alex was slapped, and fell over like a lawn chair in a windy storm.

Suddenly, she didn't care if her a** could be handed to he rby Isiah anymore; she wanted to punch him into oblivion. And she stood up to do just that, but was interrupted by Tsurai groaning.

"I know enough about Denziens to know you don't treat women like--"

With a surprized, yet caring look on her face, she got downo n her knees and stared at Tsurai expectantly.

"...K.r.is..?" Tsurai moaned.

Alez looked happy, and grabbed Tsurai's nearest hand, clasping it in her own.
"Yes?" She said. "I'm right here, Tsurai."

Now she was completely ignoring Isiah, regardless of what the man did.
Tsurai squeezed Alex's hands. "It feels...." His face twisted, only half awake. He looked as if he were in pain. "... Weird..."

"Sh, sh, sh," Alex reassured. "It's just some salve that I made for you, for your chicken pox. And your gash is shut, now. And.." She pushed Tsurai's forehead washcloth away, feeling his his head, then his cheeks.
"And your fever broke. That's why it feels weird."

"It doesn't have drugss in it, does it..?" Tsurai asked.

Alex started tearing up. Whether that was from what Tsurai said or just a delayed reaction from the large red spot on her cheek, one couldn't tell.

"No," Alex said. "It doesn't..." She squeezed his hand again.

"Good... Because I don't wanna kill anybody anymore... I Don't want to kill anybody anymore... Don't make me.." He let out a heavy sigh.

"Tsurai, Tsurai. I know you're all awake now, why don't you open your eyes?" Alex pleaded.

Tsurai laughed. "I dun wanna see how crispy Isiah got cuz I forgot to give him his coat... And I'm tired. And my face hurts. And conking out ontop of Alex was embarrassing... I wonder if she kissed me when I was out. I bet you she wanted t-" he opened an eye and saw Alex.
Then his whole face turned bright red.

Isiah was done with the upperbody, and that was all Tsurai really needed. He got up and glared at Alex. He wanted to kill her.

"ALEX!" He screamed.

Why didn't he know she was going to do something so mean?
"You WHORE! Why did you do that! Kris is DEAD! Why did you do it?! Why did you...!" His whole face scrunched up and he began to cry.

"Tsurai I only did it because your face lights up every time y-" But by that time, Alex was being strangled by Tsurai's frim hands. He had kneeled infront of her, started shaking her while clenching her throat.

"Your nasty tricks can't get any WORSE!" he cried. "You know I killed her! Why did you make me think she was alive! It was one of your damn spells again, is that what it is?! YOU WITCH!"

"Isiah, you f**!" Tsurai called out, struggling to get back up and kill Alex, who was now sitting where she was before being choked, in a sort of shocked awe.

"LET ME GO!" The boy had gotten enough leverage with his legs to try and stand up, but at that time, Isiah had simultaneously tightened his grip, causing Tsurai to fall and cry out in pain. He could feel his bones about to break.

At this, his pupils widened and the blister from his wound split open near his jawline when Tsurai started yelling out profanities at Alex in english and some mangled Japanese- not that any of them would know what language that was, anyway. It was old and dead. Like Latin in 1990.

Tsurai was no stranger to pain, and when he was pissed; he got pissed, so it was no surprize that after a few seconds of profanities, he tried to get up again, lunge at Alex, even, but his right shoulder decided to dislocate instead of letting him attack the woman.

There was a loud resounding "pop" from this, of course, a following grunt from Tsurai, and then at the same time, Alex started drawing weird shapes in the dirt and frantically chanting something equally awkward.

Of course, upon seeing that, regardless of how hurt Tsurai was getting, pain obvious on his face, he started piinning Alex with words about her witchcraft, saying how she was a stupid, conniving b***h, and that her spells weren't real - although Tsurai believed in them, suffice to say - and that Alex should go ******** herself and her dad.

Then his last part of the speech, -something about a retarded kid named Sarah- was cut off by Alex throwing the dirt that was the weird symbols at Tsurai's face.

That got him reeling.

Now there was dirt in his eyes, so he was trying to shake it out, closing his eyes, trying to cry it out, but with a few last words of that strange language Alex was saying, Tsurai stopped struggling and laid still, trying to catch his breath.

Alex did the typical three-point catholic "thank you GOD" thing before letting out an astronomical sigh of relief.

"He's so dumb sometimes," she forced a smile. "You can let him go now," she offered.

Alex took a deep breath and combed her fingers through her hair.
"Sometimes I wonder if he would still go after something if his legs fell off, heh. He's so stubborn. Especially with pa.." She saw the look on Isiah's face.

"He's.... Fine...?" She wasn't sure what to say.

Tsurai was pickedup, and summarily shaked by Isiah, yet his eyes were closed and he groaned something that was supposed to be "stop it" and "That hurts," but said them both at the same time and ended up with "stop hurts."

"Quit it, you're gonna give him a concussion or something!" Alex shouted, standing up and reaching out to take Tsurai from the man, as if the boy were a precious ragdoll of her's.

"He's asleep. In the head. Maybe for an hour or so, depending on if you wake him up or not." And then, with a proud look on her face, she finished, "But only I know how to wake him up."

At that point she braced herself from a murderous outrage from the Denzien.
She was getting a weird vibe from him. Maybe Isiah was gay, as Tsurai had insuinated. But then... Hrm. If that was true, then Isiah probably had a crush on the boy. And at that, she couldn't help but chuckle. Tsurai was straight as an arrow.

Maybe not too sexually active, because of his past, but, definetly straight.

Oh, this was too good to be true. It was all adding up. ex-Denzien and they way the man held Tsurai, and protected him..

She'd never physically spoke with a gay person before.

Alex simply, outwardly, hmphed and turned away, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, you're being so rude to me, I don't think I'll say."

She put her hand to her face, thinking, imaginaing. Oh, if he was really gay...

"But maybe if you kiss him...." She let it hang, trying not to act too interested, but still glimpsing back to Isiah every other second, to see his reaction.

She turned around. "Well, good luck trying to wake him up without doing it," she shrugged.

Inside, Alex was already so fluttery. Isiah wasn't even really objecting! He was really considering it!

The woman hmphed.

Alex was what you would call a "f** hag". She was an adimate lover of gays. However, her love was secretive, since in Georgia, it was a gay-hating world. You either stayed in the closet or you weren't in Georgia. So Alex had never actually met and talked with a gay, nor seen any of the entertainment she so desired.

That stated, she covered her mouth with a hand and said, with hesitation of the excitement of her own to follow, "Kissing him will wake him up."
