Mizuki stood in place, both hands clasped behind her back, as she stared around with rather wide eyes. She really had never been in a weapons shop before. She had no need to visit, and didn't own a weapon of her own. She simply transformed if she had to defend herself, but she rarely even had to do that. Though she'd been assalted, it was mainly just verbal abuse.
She blinked and turned to follow Shojuto as he pointed to some swords and daggers. She trailed behind him again, still keeping her arms close by her sides, as if afraid she'd break something, or perhaps cut herself on something. She resisted the urge to take a step away as he lifted up a sword, but stood where she was, watching curiously.
"Drooling over a sword?" she grinned, tilting her head slightly. She had to admit though, that it did look pretty cool. Maybe if she was more into weapons and stuff, she'd be drooling too. The thought made her laugh quietly. "It does look amazing," she admitted.

Shojuto noticed how cautious Mizuki was being, her arms close to her sides like she was either scared, or worried. "If you're uncomfortable being here, just tell me alright? I'll understand I swear. We can go somewhere else if you want to." He said, giving her a smile of reassurance, letting her know it was ok with him if she wanted to leave.
He put the sword back into it's display, and turned to her. "Ya, I'm pretty weird like that. I just find weaponry so facinating. The craft and all, making them look so extraordinary, when really their main purpose is for self defence or killing. I think it's interesting." He nodded in agreement and glanced back at the sword. "Ya, it is made beautifully. The craftsman must have put a lot of money and work into it."

Mizuki shook her head again as she smiled at him. "I'm alright!" she nodded. "I just don't really... know what I'm doing." She gave a somewhat nervous laugh as she tried to let herself relax. But she'd never even held a sword before, so it really was kind of odd. She almost felt like she didn't belong in here. She'd never harmed anything in her life. Well, maybe a few bugs here and there...
"But does it still work well?" she asked suddenly, tilting her head a bit to the side as she watched him replace the sword in its stand. "Because if it's really decorated but doesn't cut good, then it's kind of pointless, right?" She shifted slightly in place, glancing at the other various swords and daggers that were around her. It seemed to her that it didn't matter how the blade looked, as long as it could get the job done. Besides, they'd just get covered in blood anyway... She cut her thoughts off right there, wondering why she was even thinking this way. She turned and looked back at Shojuto instead.

"If your sure." He said, nodding to her as she spoke. "Well, there's really nothing to it." He picked up a sword, this time a well crafted katana blade. He swung it around, showing her different techniques, making sure he was far from her so she wouldn't get hit. He then stopped, holding the blade just infront of his face, then set it back down in it's display beside it's shieth.
"I'm better with axes then swords though. Not the regular ones to chop wood, but, the actual battling ones." He pointed to a display that had one in it, it had a long handle, about a metre and a half, made from pewter, and the blade was sharpened perfectly. "That's kind of what I use."
Shojuto nodded. "Ya, they still work well. Sometimes people make swords that just look good, so you can put them on display, but usually they do make them so they look good, and work good too."

"Hmm...a date?...well..I guess it would be ok.But don't get any ideas hun!"
Alona said with her usually smirk.
Opening the small box again she wrapped the charm bracelet around her right wrist and seccured it.
"Did I say thanks for the bracelet yet?"
She competeted while she jinggled it around slighly.
Giving a small chuckle Alona looked up at Kuro.
'A date...can't be that bad can it?....no...it can't...'
Hearing Kuro's questioned she suddenly became hungry.
She was accually starting to get hungry.
'Wonder if he'll let me have a cola....
dout it...'
Laughing in her mind she tilted her head.
"Im accually kinda hungry now...is there a place to eat in the...um...mall?"
For some reason she kept forgeting how to say mall...it was much easier to remember than Bizzare but still she was use to it.

Mizuki blinked, taking a small step back as he began swinging the sword around. It wasn't that she didn't trust him... she was just paranoid around sharp things. She rather hoped she wouldn't accidentally sprout a tail and have it chopped off by accident. She pushed away the thought, instead tucking some hair behind her ear. It was still down, as she hadn't bothered to put it back up after the swings.
"Axes?" she repeated, and then glanced in the direction he pointed. Her eyes widned very slightly as she stared at them for a moment. "That's scary," she admitted with a small laugh. Then she turned back to face him as he continued. "Oh well... that's good," she said a bit uncertainly. She wasn't sure why it mattered to her whether they were sharp or not. She'd prefer if they weren't used at all, but knew that wasn't possible.

Shojuto decided there was nothing really left to see in the weapon stop, and thought it would be a good idea to go to the food court and get something to eat for both of them, he was beginning to feel hungry himself, and thought it was probably the same for Mizuki. "How about we get out of here and get something to eat?" He said, now beginning to walk out of the weapon shop.
He gave Gary a wave goodbye, and smiled when Gary waved back with his left tenticle. Turning back to Mizuki, he wondered what she would want. "So, um. What kind of food do you like? That way we can decide where to go to get it."

"Yeah... I think so... If you're lucky I'll let you have a little bit of cola... But just a little..." Kuro said quietly, with a stern tone. Now I feel like her parent... He thought. He took her hand and led her to a little burger shop quietly. "Alright have you had a hamburger nefore?" He asked deciding to be careful. He started to feel his mind start going in motion with a large amount of thoughts. Questions like: Where would she like to go? What she would want to do? So many questions in his head that were to be left unanswered until he found the right time to ask. He awaited her answer patiently as he took a seat at a table.

Mizuki followed after him and out of the shop, pausing to turn and wave goodbye to Gary as well. She smiled broadly at him as he returned their waves, extremely tempted to go up and poke him. Though, that would definitely be considered rude, so she held herself back.
She glanced up at Shojuto instead as they exited the shop, her head tilting slightly as she tried to think of what she'd want. "Um... anything is fine, really..." she began uncertainly. She wasn't sure what kind of food a mall that held a weapons shop might have. She clasped her hands behind her back again as she walked along, eyes darting around the various shops once more, just looking, and then back to Shojuto.

Shinku walked to the mall with Yuki alongside him. "Alright... I guess I'll go with whichever place you prefer..." He said to Yuki. He looked around quietly. "There's a Subway, a Mcdonald's, a Taco Bell, and An Italian food joint... Like I said... You pick..." He said and waited. I wonder why she's so shy... She actually seems kinda cute... Wait a sec... He mentally slapped himself. I am an assassin, I cannot have attachments, I cannot let anyone become attached to me... When I die it has to be as if I simply never existed... He thought mentally repeating his own assassin code of conduct.

Yuki kept her head bowed the entire time they walked, watching the ground as she passed over it silently. Her pale hands were clasped before her, her face was still faintly pink, and her tail was still tightly wrapped around her waist. Her silver hair, which had dried since her mortifying stay at the hotsprings, was nearly completely dry now and draped aroud her, effectively hiding her face. She raised her head slightly though, as they arrived at the food court.
For a moment she stared around almost blankly, confusion only growing as he named off different resturaunts. Why was he letting her choose? Maybe she'd gotten the wrong impression of him back in the courtyard? When he'd been threatening to kill her? She shivered very slightly at the memory and then shook her head, bowing it again as it ashamed. "I-I don't... know what an-any of those are," she admitted quietly.

"Alright... I'll choose then..." Shinku said and grabbed her hand pulling her along gently with him. He walked to the subway and let go of her hand. "Just give me an italian BMT with no tomatoes... And I guess the same for her... And give me the herb and cheese bread and giver regular and add... Cheddar cheese to mine..." He said and waited for the orders to be carried out. He then said the last thing. "And two cola's..." He then put down a twenty dollar bill for the meal and went to find a seat, which he pulled Yuki too as well. He sat at one end and let her have the other. "You might like it... You might not..." He warned and took a bite from his and swigged his drink.

[Sorry for the delay... T.T]
Yuki nodded her agreement as he said he'd choose, but felt her eyes widen as he grabbed her hand. She kept her head bowed and her face hidden since she knew that it had definitely flushed scarlet again. She trailed behind him though, not trying to pull away since she didn't see the point of doing so. It might only make him mad or something. She raised her head very slightly as she listened to him placing their orders and was relieved and confused at the same time that she didn't have to decide for herself. Though, she had no idea what it was he'd ordered.
Then she was pulled over to the seat beside him and plopped down, once again staring at her hands, which were clasped in her lap. She glanced at him and then slowly raised a very pale arm and picked up the sandwich. She turned it over a bit, staring at it curiously, before taking a tentative bite. Her eyes widened again in surprise and she smiled very faintly, for the first time since they'd met. "I-I like it..." she said softly.

"Good... What have you been living off of?" Shinku asked curiously. He ate a bit more of his sub quietly and stopped halfway through. He took a sip of his drink and sighed. "You wanna know something? Throughout my whole life I have trained as an assassin... I never gave myself time for childhood or childish pleasures... And I never had any friends..." He said quietly. He hated himself for what he was about to say but said it anyway. "And well... You're the first friend I've decided to accept..." He said, he felt embarassed but he knew he had a soft spot for someone. For the first time in his cold uncaring life he had developed a tender side for only one person alone.

Yuki shrugged her frail shoulders slightly at his first question, shaking her head. "I d-don't eat much," she admitted. It was true though. She didn't have to eat very often in order to function properly. She could probably eat once a month and be fine. She took another small bite, choosing to eat slowly and savor it rather than gobble it all down in seconds. She paused though, as she heard Shinku sigh and glanced at him for a second out of the corner of her eye before looking back at the table. She remained completely silent and still, except for the flicking of her tail against her side, as she listened, and her face seemed to grow more and more red as he spoke. When he finished, she just remained sitting perfectly still and silent, not sure what to say. "I-I..." she began, but trailed off in a slight confusion. She didn't know what to think. Should she feel honored that he'd accepted her? And she was a little relieved she hopefully wouldn't have to worry about being shot anymore. "I didn't have m-much of a childhood e-either..." she finally murmured.
[Goodnight...]
