Luciano said softly to Waffle, "Don't." but Raph clenched his jaw and stopped in his tracks, he folded his arms and he said, ". . . I was trying to stop my Pops, in case you forgot, Waff. ." Luciano clenched his jaw. He was sick of all of the confrontation, and he was sick of all of the fights. This was a funeral God damn it. And he wasn't about to listen to let any more of it. ". . . Excuse me." He said as he walked away.
Raph stayed behind, though. He stared Waffle dead in the eyes and he said ". . You don't know me, Bro. So, I'm goin' to let this slide. I'm going to show you right now that I'm not like my Pops." And with that, he started to walk away from Waffle.

"Trying to stop your dad from doing the exact same thing you did? Beating the s**t out of some guy 'cause you don't like his answers? That sure doesn't make sense there!" Waffle called out at Raph. It was getting more tempting to tear him a new one, sensitivity be damned. Even though Luciano had slipped away again, she hoped he picked up on what happened earlier. She was banking on the idea of him handing the Lenchantins their asses; he had done this to others that messed with his friends in the past, so why not this time?
At HQ, Sabe had appreciated the quietness. Too bad he didn't have anybody to share it with. He had tried to activate the portal in his room, but it was broken. There was a crate nearby that must have been dropped off overnight, with royal orders to set up a bigger one outside of town, rolled up in a scroll. While the crate was small and didn't have the stuff to make a giant portal from scratch, there were tools in there meant for hijacking and redirecting portals - the kind of tools a terrorist in any magical city would love to get a hold of, totally illegal with so much potential - and some speculation about how the gate might be converted. But Sabe didn't bother with the crate yet. He would need someone to drive him out and someone to help carry the crate. The only out-of-town 'portal' Sabe knew of was the Zurg Stargate; it was still under heavy investigation by the Gaian military (surprisingly, they had reassembled, free of corruption and under new leaders). That meant he would need people to stay on guard while he did the delicate work. So he thought about doing something else, like heading outside for once. It was definitely cold out, but not snowing.

Raph let out a heavy sigh. . As much as he tried to think of a way to justify what he did, all he could think was: To just let it go. Because Waffle couldn't possibly understand what it was like to be a brother to someone. No amount of apologizing, or retribution, could ever make things right again.
When he saw Luciano walk away, his heart dropped. He was no longer paying any attention to Waffle when he saw 'His boy' walking away. ". . . He really is a mess, isn't he?"
Luciano walked up to the podium, tapped the microphone a couple times and he said, "Excuse me, everyone. . I've a few things to say," Raph turned and looked at Luciano, Ari didn't bother to look at him. Instead, he just drank his bourbon and tried to ignore him.
". . . Who the ******** do ALL of you think you are?- Fighting with each other when this is a God damn funeral. And not just anyone's funeral, but the funeral of someone VERY important to all of us. Have any of you NO respect at all for the dead? You should be ******** ashamed of yourselves!!" Luciano yelled into the microphone. Choking back tears, he continued on "You pick today, of all days to fight with me- To fight with each other! And to ******** point fingers- Who ******** did what, to who, when, and ******** why!!- When we're supposed to ALL be family!! And I don't give a s**t WHO ******** started it!!! I want it finished!!!" Luciano's tears began to roll down his face as he yelled "This can all continue when she is finally at rest!!!. . . Now get the ******** over yourselves!!! All of you!!!" Luciano grabbed a hold of the podium and flipped it over, and then stormed out of the room.
The whole room fell silent. . People were looking at each other in total shock. Luciano's family all looked at each other in complete amazement. Sophia whispered to her father, ". . This is the worst funeral ever."

KD (  ) stood at the back of the room in complete shock of everything that was happening at the funeral... all the negative energy... it made her feel sick... so sick that, she ran out side and threw up in the bushes.

'Oh, how Ari loves me...I should tackle him again and give him a big hug,' Nariana thought sarcastically after his last comment...
She was about to step out of the room when Luciano went to the microphone and scolded everyone. In utter sadness at his pain and the truth of his words, she walked up to the stage and stood the podium back up. Taking the mic, she said to the crowd, "Excuse me...'Hope this works...' "My name is Nariana, and I would like to say a few words about Michele. I haven't worked with her for long, but I know that she was a sweet and caring person. Her presence was a peaceful one. You could tell that she was happy where she was and loved people very much, especially Luciano...She never left his side, and she really brightened his day. I'm sure she had the same effect on many people in here, too...So if anyone else would like to say something, now would be the time. Thank you."
She stepped off of the stage after her little speech.

Skotti jumped out of the bushes, clutching his cigarette as KD threw up in them. "Oh god! I suppose we all cope in our own ways, but you did not have to get your lunch all over me good trousers, miss KD!" he exclaimed as his hiding space was compromised. (Hair change for skotti, the knot was getting tired)

(( I'm going to kinda speed this up a bit! :3 )) After all of the drama, and people getting up to say a few last words, it was time to pay their respects and say their own little goodbyes to Michelle. Looking at the open casket. Where she had been shot was hidden very well. . But he could tell where she had been shot. . He was close enough to her to feel her warm blood splatter on his face, and he remembered where it hit, and he saw how the bullet took out most of the back of her skull.
Looking into hher casket, Luciano gently took her hand; Caressing it softly, he whispered to her with tears in his eyes ". . . Life is not the same anymore. .," Clenching his jaw as he stared down at her lifeless body, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said to her ". . . I feel so alone without you, you've no idea. . I feel more alone with each passing second, and it hurts. . I miss you, Michelle. . I miss you so much. ." Luciano couldn't fight his tears anymore, he caressed her cheek and whispered an 'I love you' and then walked away from the Casket.

(Dx My eyes got uber warm for a second. Dang you, Ange.)
Nariana opted to avoid the open casket. Her mind had enough to think about, so she stepped outside for fresh air. She leaned against a wall and sighed.

(Can't wait until Luciano gets home. >:3)
Waffle had walked up to the casket like everyone else, but couldn't think of much to say; she didn't consider herself to be terribly close to Michelle, so she nodded and said a short 'bye' and walked away. The funeral was soon to be over anyway.
----------------
Sabe got up from bed and changed into something a little warmer, taking his time. He took his scarf from the bedpost and put it on; he folded it in half length-wise and draped it around his neck, threading the open end of the scarf through the loop on his right and pulling it until the loop went up to the left side of his neck. He had to adjust it a few times to keep it from choking him. Sabe trudged out of the room and down the stairs to the backyard. It was as cold outside as he expected.
The yard seemed too open for him to sit down anywhere, as he was likely to be bothered when people came home. He walked toward a fenced-off portion of the yard and looked inside. It was a garden, with some melting snow still scattered about; every plant was sunken and dead from neglect. Sabe undid the latch and went inside. Ignoring the one or two bugs still buzzing around in the winter weather, he searched for a spot not soaked by the snow and sat down. His gaze pointed at the decaying garden plot, but he wasn't paying attention. Then his mind drifted to the last funeral he had failed to be at; that time he was ill from a deadly plague going about and had to be isolated. He later heard that it was like a never-ending line of bodies going into a crypt. Almost like a conveyor belt.

Koji and Foxi went up to the cesket together, gave a short respectful goodbye, then went to find Luciano. Koji gave a consoling pat on the shoulder and Foxi offered a light hug before they wandered off. At some point Koji had managed to find KD, who seemed a bit woozy and was apparently avoiding the crowd. "Some funeral, huh?"
(Can't wait to see what's gonna happen next! owo)

After recieving comfort from Koji and Foxi, Luciano wiped his tears and let out a heavy sigh. About a moment later, his cousins Sophia, Mila, Romero, and Juliano came up and all gave Luciano a hug.
". . I'm sorry for your loss, Luci," Said Mila, still hugging her cousin, "Are you okay?" "Psh! What kind of a stupid a** question is that?!" Snapped Romero, then folded his arms "You know he feels like s**t, Dude!" Sophia rolled her eyes at Romero, then she placed her hand on Luciano's shoulder, rubbing softly she said "D'you need anything?" Luciano didn't know how to answer that. . But he said, "Not that I'm aware of. ." Juliano nodded and then he said "We are here if you ever need us, Luciano." "Kiss a**." "DON'T you two DARE ******** start! This is a ******** funeral! Now shut the ******** up!. . . God! Brothers!" Meanwhile Mila giggled.
The four didn't see, but Luciano managed to smile a little bit. They were always funny when they fought. They fought just like siblings. This made growing up for Luciano a little less lonely.
When the four left to go steal some food, Luciano walked on and found Giuseppe drinking Scotch mingling a bit. Giuseppe saw Luciano and told the men in his group 'Excuse me a moment' and then made his way over to Luciano, "Hey, Luci. Some funeral, huh? Haha." Luciano gave him a nod and then he said "Yes it is. Thank you, and the girls, for coming." "Naaaah! The girls just wanted to show you that they're always here for you- Same as me. . did you find out who did this to our Michelle?" Luciano sadly shook his head, and he said "Nothing yet. . I. . I haven't been looking."
"That's understandable, and it's okay. . . Because I have- But I won't tell you here, alright? We'll meet at your place after this."
Luciano clenched his jaw. Finally, revenge was soon to be his. He could taste it. .

As the funeral scene was gradually winding down, Waffle walked outside and saw many others. Oh, this is just gold, she thought.
"Sure is a crowd out here." she mused. It seemed like only Luciano's feuding families were still in the building.
------------------------
Still inside the garden, Sabe shook off those earlier thoughts and shifted to a more comfortable position. He curled up and draped his jacket over his body like a blanket to get warm. About ten minutes later he fell asleep despite the cold.
(@ Styk: Are you setting up what I think you're setting up? Shoot me a PM some time. smile )

KD looked up shocked at Skotti... "Sorry." she said as she looked at Skotti's pants making sure she didn't get sick on him. When she knew she hadn't she lean against the wall, and saw Koji. "You can say that again..." she answered as she wiped sweat off her brow.

(( Tiiiiiiime skippiiiiiing!! biggrin )) Everyone was now at the location where Michelle was to be buried. The Priest recited the burial prayer as Michelle was being lowered into her grave. Luciano could control his tears no longer; He broke down and cried as he watched his fiance finally reach the bottom of her grave. After they closed the casket, and started piling the dirt on her, Luciano cried so hard that he thought his eyes would pop out.
And after the burial, Luciano didn't bother to stay behind. He went straight to the car and stood there until the group caught up.

Both a little bothered by Luciano's crying from earlier and worn out from what happened at the funeral, Waffle walked faster than the rest of the group.
It was still bright outside, although the sun would be setting in a matter of hours.
