Tora looked at her reflection in the tea cup. She swirled it around to break the image up. She drank it and filled her glass again. She sat quietly.

"Are you planning to be wrong? You should have more confedance in yourself. But to change the topic, It's your turn" She tried to keep the mood in the room even though it was a gloomy day.

Shagatsu sighed. "Okay. Here are my stories:"
Story one: There once was a woman who was vane. So vane in fact that she considered herself genderless. Something of another world. She was indeed very beautiful. Rivaling even that of an angel. Whenever men saw her, they would fall to the floor, hearts and confidence melted like butter. She would walk all over them. One day she came across a man. This was no ordinary man, he had been to many places and seen many things. When she came into his sight, he did not fall to the floor, or do her immidiate bidding, he just ignored her. The woman was so distraught she slapped him in the face. The man looked at her with shock and asked her who she thought she was. "I am the most beautiful thing you will ever lay your eyes on in your life, and you should be honored to meet me." The man replied: "You are a liar, for you have not one ounce, not one grain of beauty in you. Beauty comes from the inside and that is something you will never have." The man turned away and went back to his work. The woman was so worried, so distraught, so horrified, that she had a heart attack right then and there. She bled from her eyes before she died which left her face in a most disgusting state. The men that bowed before her realised what they had done and realized how foolish they were. They built a statue to remind themselves always look past outer beauty. The men could never get her face right though, so they left it blank, further pushing the statues meaning. And that. Is story one.

Story two: There once was a woman who was quite the temptress. She tempted men untill she found the one who would perfectly suit her. She led him into marraige and had him totally wrapped around her finger. If she wished him to die, he would kill himself so that she would not get his blood on her. She used him like a dog, a waiter, a chef, among other tasks. Constantly humiliating him in public, he loved her through the worst. The woman finally got bored of him. She still kept him, just locked him up in the house whenever she went out. One day she met another man she liked, and brought him to her house. She kissed him on her doorstep and went inside, leaving him outside. Everyday she would go out and give him a kiss, only to return from town and lock lips with him again. And every single time, the first man she met would watch her out the window, his face stained with tears. The second man just stood on the doorstep untill he was needed. Fed like an animal and treated like one too. One day the woman came home and kissed him deeply. But today was diffrent. She kissed him deeper than ever before. And she invited him inside today too. She even brought him into her room for the night. The next morning, the second man stayed in her bedroom, his new post. The woman would go out everyday and comeback to him in her room. The first man was devastated. Constantly him mind ran through why she would do this, why she would get another man, never going through why she would treat him so terribly. Finally one day the first man waited for her to come to the door. Once she opened it, she slapped him for being out of place. He cried and said "I love you." And turning around, plunged a large knife through his heart into hers. "Now we will die with our hearts connected" He said with a sad smile. They fell onto the doorstep. The second man, some say, left the house and went crazy, never was found again untill one day her grave was dug up and he was found sleeping next to her bones. He was put to trial and sentenced to death partly for his crime, and partly for his own good. He was buried next to her and given a small gravestone. And that is story two.

"Story one is true," Tora said coldly. She drank her tea, her blue eyes misted over like morning fog.

Omny sighed "That one was a lie too, do you have a third story?" she asked before finishing of her first cup of sake.

"Actually, story one is true, and Tora just saved herself from penalty drinks." He said, looking over to her. "Tora can I talk to you in the back for a minute?"

Tora stood without a word and walked to the back room. Her heart raced. "Here it comes. I thought I could make it all just dissapear," she thought. Her palms grew icy-cold and clammy.

Shagatsu followed her and took her hands when she turned around. "Tora. You mean so much to me. You were one of the first kind people to me. And for that, I never got to say thankyou. Plus.... I didnt know you wanted to be more than friends...." He said, still holding her hands. "If I had known that, things would be different between us... But I pray we can still be friends. You will always have a place in my heart." He said, looking into her eyes.

Tora's heart sank even lower at Shagatsu's words. She grew shakey. "How?" she asked, pain in her voice. "What made you jump the gun with Omny? What made you fall when you first met her?" Tora knew she wasn't tall, or skinny, or beautiful. And she never believed those lies for an instant about men wanting 'kind hearted' women. She never did. Maybe that's why she had no one now. The kind words Shagatsu has spoke weren't ment for her, it was just him trying to make her feel better and being kind to everyone.

"Im not sure. She just overwhelmed me. And its not that shes pretty or anything like that, its just that she was so different from everyone else I have met. But those words I said to you I MEANT. From the bottom of my heart...." He paused for a moment. "Tora in a split second I could be with you. You are the loveliest, sweetest girl. Never have I met anyone so kind. NEVER. And I love that in you. Its something special. Something I wish I could see in everyone..."
