Luke opened the door slowly and knew it wouldnt be a pretty sight, as the door opened he saw the mess and his lips pressed into a thin line as he saw the red tears running down her cheeks. He nodded slowly knowing that he couldnt afford to do anything to make her cry more. Instead he smiled softly and leaned against the door frame a bit "I can get you some ice cream and fudge? I heard it always make the ladies feel better on a bad day." he murmured and did not take his gaze off of her "If there is anything you want to talk about I am here to talk. I know that I dont know much about whatever life you lived before i showed up, but if this Ren guy is dangerous... you know that i am here to protect you. I promise you that, I will make the guy eat his own - if I have to." he smirked and chuckled dryly, his bangs sweeping in his eye a bit as he lift a toned arm and ran his long fingers back through his hair slowly. Then he slowly sunk down into a relaxed crouch, his elbows on his knees and his fingers steepled together just in front of his body over the ground. His gaze never left her and it was filled with a gentle loving warmth, not to mention concern, but all fear was bid away as he looked at her. The girl who he loved, the girl he wanted to treat to all the happiness until she couldnt take it.

The water continued to run and then Rebecca let out a strangled like cry from her lungs, the sound of the razor clattering across the bathroom floor and a soft thud as she let herself slide to the flood of the shower. Crying and clutching her arms to her stomach as she felt the burning water pelt down over her body I've done enough trying to deal with my pain alone, and when I try and search people out I clam up, or maybe they are just the wrong people. Axel, definitely wrong person, he just wants more of you pain, its how he lives. Jason doesnt need a let down to be around him, he made it clear that unless she was going to marry then she was not welcome. Luke... her younger step brother who had so many demons to face on his own, in the end who is there but me?

"Idiot!" Luke hissed in shock and he caught her in his arms before she fell to the ground, wrapping his arms around her and then picking her up. Her had her arms pinned to her chest as he quickly walked down the hall to his room, nudging the door open he brought her over to his bed and lay her down "You act as if you are not ill, jeez Anju you have to stop, if you are not feeling well then dont stand up." he muttered and then crossed over to his dresser to get her a clean shirt, opening the drawer he yanked out a dark gray shirt with nothing on it. Making his way back over to her with out haste and then pressing his hand to her forehead gently, examining her condition to see if she was... to see if she was okay or not. Quietly he swallowed down his worry, alright so Ren was a bad enough guy to make her scream at the top of her lungs and throw the kitchen chair to the floor. Not to mention that his name and the fact that he had brought Kurosaki here, had sent Anju over the edge when they had been having such a good morning. Though he dragged his thoughts away from that, not wanting to be rude or get distracted while she was obviously in bad condition.

Rebecca heard Axel at the bedroom door, but it was muffled since she had the bathroom door closed and locked as well. She put her face in her hands and curled up into a ball, gritting her teeth and feeling her sides heave and tremble as she tried to quiet her crying. No, she was not letting him in, and she doubted if he even broke the lock on the bedroom door, that he could do it again in his condition. She let her hands splash to the floor of the tub, her knuckle rapping once and the palm of her other hand splishing in the water a bit. Her body felt weak and her mind wanted to pull away from all of these worries, she wanted to escape but she knew that she couldnt even do that. Why would Axel bother anyways?
He just doesnt want to lose his precious little toy, then who would he taunt? No he would just go back to being alone. Oh well, he can just find another puppet to play with.. She sniffled and winced, her skin was sensitive and burning since the water was as hot as it would go. Spluttering another crying she curled in on her self, the fabric of her white dress clinging to her body and her feet crossed at the ankles as she pulled her knee's to her chest.

Luke rubbed his face slowly and then dropped his arms to his sides with a sigh, he walked over and gently sat down beside her, leaning down and enveloping her into his strong arms "you better be sorry. I dont know what to with you sometimes.. defiant little thing." he muttered and shook his head with a slight huff out his nose, then he smiled a crooked smile at her "if I had known you would have gone all crazy chick on me, I would have got you a punching bag instead of breaking the kitchen chair." he snorted and laughed a bit. He was just relieved that she was okay, and not a pale ghost curled up on his bathroom floor. He looked down at her and slowly pushed her down so she was laying with her head on the pillow "Anju-chan, rest okay? your tired as it is, I know I'm worn out," he winked swiftly with a cheeky smile, of course the thought made him a bit embarrassed so when his cheeks reddened a bit it just added to the humor he was trying to use to get her to smile.

Rebecca didnt say anything, its not that she was busy crying and hiccuping but because she wouldnt give him the satisfaction of hearing it. I am just a weak person, I cant bare my feelings anymore, I cant stand being so alone. I feel so alone. Her skin hurt under his touch and she winced, her eyebrows arching up and together in pain as well as her bottom lip curling in a bit. Then she shook her head and wrenched free from his grip, tottering back a few steps and hugging her arms to her stomach. She doubled over slowly and then sunk to the floor on her knee's, there, let him see her pain. Her long gold blond hair dripping wet onto the floor, where her eyes rested in a blank gaze. "Why should you deserve to k-know?.. I'm-m just your s-stupid puppet!" she stuttered and spat the last word with venom, talking through her tears her voice was groggy and wavering but she didnt care anymore. "you won your game.... just leave me alone.." she said, her words barely audible.

(parents are home btw. be poofy)

Luke stroked her hair down smoothly as she started falling asleep and he smiled reassuringly down at her "He will be fine, Anju." he murmured and leaned down, kissing her brow softly and running his fingers through her long silver hair, he knew Kurosaki was scared but he was also very smart. Considering there was no yelling or screams of pain coming from his room, he assumed the young boy would understand, he was trying to care for Anju and keep her calm. Laying down on his side slowly he traced her jaw with his fingers tips and began to sing a wordless lullaby, the notes soft and long, going from high to low in a flawless melody meant to lull his love into a gentle and calm sleep. He gazed at her with an overwhelming love in his steel eyes, for anyone else Luke Takahashi would seem quiet, brooding and not to mention a guy with serious temper problems. The thing was if you gave him time and got to know him, he could be a caring guy. Sure he had his problems, but they were inhuman and supernatural, literally.

She shook her head slowly and dug her nails into the sensitive skin on her arms, closing her eyes and momentarily pressing her lips together "the only one who thinks you arent worth it is you... everyone is worth a chance. I wasted mine Axel. I failed to make Jason happy, or to make my messed up family right." she took in a deep breath and shuddered "It's not just you causing me this pain, I just feel alone, and lost... I have lost so much. I lost my little brother, I lost my family- my mom and dad... I'm sure you know the feeling. When I was in foster care I lost my strength, instead I just sat there and took whatever they dealt out. Every slap, every word, every touch." she grit her teeth "And the reason why Jason made me stay behind.. was because I refused to marry the man he had chosen for me. He wasnt the one I had chosen, so what reason should I have to give myself to a stranger?..." she had no idea why she was spilling all og this out to him, but her mouth kept running in some desperate attempt to make him understand why she had broken after all these years. Truly she had never thought about ending her life before, she had always pushed through, sadly, quietly.

Rebecca's head tilt up and she gazed up at him quietly as he stood, then she glanced at his hand. Swiftly she wiped her blurry eyes clear of tears and then reached up, her hands stopped before his and she held his gaze. Is he tricking me?.. She then took his hand and stood up with his help. Tottering lazily and then she noticed the door on the floor, her mouth dropped open with shock and she looked back at him "you... you broke the door?" her eyebrows furrowed with confusion. She curled her bottom lip in and bit down on it slightly, then reached up and swiftly plucked out the splinter "you broke down a freaking door because you didnt want all of this to be your fault?" she asked with dry humor, then her gaze caught the blood on his shirt and she stiffened. Gazing down at it and then she placed her hands on his shoulders, nudging him to the toilet and getting him to sit down. Quietly she wiped her eyes again and opened the cabinet over the sink, grabbing out the small little first aid kit and unzipping it. Rebecca sighed and blinked her stinging eyes, though she did feel better after crying, shocked at what thoughts had been running through her mind, but better. It was okay, she was still alive, to weak to even take the easy way out. Going back to Axel she gave a weak half smile and then dropped down to her knee's in front of the toilet, she got out the gauze and put one part between her teeth as she snipped of a length with the small scissors. Beginning to silently folding it up into a pad before she removed his hand, her long fingers gentle as she pressed the pad to the bleeding "hold that down." she said quietly.

Rebecca gripped his shoulder firmly and sat him back down "just give me two seconds!" she hissed and puled out the gauze again "you not making that boy any more impressed if you show up bleeding and tripping around like your wasted." she muttered and leaned forward, turning her face away as it came up close to his abdomen, she wrapped the gauzed around a couple times and then snipped of the end, tying it tight and checking that the pad underneath wouldnt move "come back when you done so I can at least try to fix the stitches." she muttered and stood up, she felt her dress heavy with water and glanced down, seeing the red stains and the- oh my god white dress!! her eyes widened and she glanced at him, then turned and quickly left the washroom. Going over to her bag and pulling out a big dark green sweater and pulling it over her head, then pulled on a pair of long gray leggings before she dropped the dress to the ground. Picking up the sodden stained fabric she sighed, well that was one item ruined, one she liked too. It was one of the only girl things she had. Sitting on her bed she pulled all of her wet hair over one shoulder and began to do a finely woven fishtail braid, her toes just touching the floor where her gaze rested. Hopefully Axel would go and deal with his business with the silver haired man, giving her enough time to try and sleep off the trauma of everything before. Then she would make sure to not dwell on it, no need to let it bring her down, like he said.. but then again... he was such a confusing man.

Rebecca was shocked into a silence after a small laugh from his joke, the image had been funny in her mind but the moment he had thanked her, she watched the door and then rubbed her face "ow..." she grumbled, her skin was so sensitive from the hot water, not to mention patches of red all up one side thanks to her laying on one side only. Closing her eyes she lay back on the bed and pressed her lips together, then they parted and she exhaled, falling into sleep with her thoughts reeling. He was so mercurial no.. he wasnt exactly lively... maybe he was more like a ghost of the man he had been. These thoughts rolled over and over in her mind as she slept, arms up above her head and legs dangling off the bed since she had been too tired to move after she had flopped back. Her bangs swept over her eyes, and her braid snaked down and across her chest to hang off the opposite side of her ribcage. She breathed quietly in her sleep, seeming less troubled, more peaceful, like a weight was off her shoulders.

(that actually just kicked in, I remember a while back you showed me a music video, and the guy you thought looked the most like Axel, he was a cross dresser XD did you write that post on purpose? if so, *claps* well done haha)

(oh okay haha :) lucky you, have a nice night!)

Rebecca stirred slightly and a quiet sigh escaped her lips "please..." she mumbled in her sleep and one arm moved down, draping across her hips and her head rolling to the side. Her lips parted but she breathed through her nose softly, chest rising and falling with her breath. Then she mumbled his name "Axel...." the muscles in her legs jumped a bit and her cheeks got a soft rosy color to them. Slowly her other arm drew down the bed and the fingers curled in to her palm a bit, it was clear her dream was quite the interesting one at that. He stood over her with blood dripping from his hip, it ran down and stained his pants. She reached out for it "Please," she pleaded, wanting to help him. He just gave her a sad smile and shook his head, pushing her hand away slowly and not saying a word. Then he moved and hooked his arm around her waist, pulling her close and holding up the razor with an angry gaze "do you really think I want the burden of dumping your body in the trash? I have enough problems in my life as it is. I dont need your burden to bare as well." then he went quiet. The blood was staining her cloths now, just at the top of her hip, after all he was taller then her. "Axel," she pleaded, wanting to help him, make the bleeding stop. It felt like there was so much more behind her plee. He glared at her "your not Mika, I dont need you badgering me!" She had no idea how that name had ended up in her dream but she jumped awake as he yelled at her, the shout fading in her thoughts as she opened her eyes. not aware of everything in the room for a moment.

(oh you old ;3 jkjk *crosses fingers* so close to 18 T^T why cant time go by faster? gahhh! I just hate summers...)

Jul raised a defined brow and he slowly began to sit up, a dangerous glint in his glowing blue eyes "I know ow to kill the Xenomorph, yes. You would be risking your very life ooman. For you do not seem like warrior..." he let his scrutinizing gaze run from her head to toe, meeting her different colored gaze. Then he grunted a bit and forced himself to get to his feet, lifting his right arm he tapped the screen on his wrist gauntlet with a flourish. Alien language popping up on the small green blood speckled screen, then it gave of three dull beeps and his mandibles spread wide in shock "it sseems they are in your townn.." he clicked slowly, sliding his gaze over to her.

(nah thats okay :P its cool, ive had like-err..... three or four things-cans of pop now though XD so WHOOP my fingers are going so fast I can hardly write something up with out completely skipping a bunch of letters (just retyped the word 'of' three times... stupid 'p') :) :P O_O *twitch* )

Rebecca raised a hand and rubbed the side of her face slightly, she felt tired and a little mopey, that dream had been like pouring vinegar in an open wound. She looked weary as she pushed herself up with open arm, locking it straight and leaning on it lazily as she rubbed the sleep out of her good eye cutely "um, yeah sorry I fell asleep. It's okay, not like the door would have stayed closed without a lock, it must have opened on it's own." she said, her voice soft and quiet as she was still waking up from her dreams. Then she let her hand slap down onto her thigh, looking relaxed and mildly curious as she gazed around the room "oh, right, stitches I almost forgot." she mumbled and then scoot off the bed onto her feet with a yawn. She had no idea that she had been talking on her sleep in fact, she was trying to ignore that dream and what had happened. It was a slight surprise to see Axel though, she had half expected him to ignore her words for him to come back. Walking into the bathroom she came back with the first aid and blinked her amber eyes over at him, gazing through her lashes quietly "just lay down on the bed, I couldnt find my pain killers.. so I hope you dont mind the bite of the needle." she smiled a bit and nod her chin over to the bed.

Jul was not okay with this, in fact his big hand snapped up at an alarmingly inhuman fast rate; wrapping around her wrist and holding it tight but with no intentions to break it. The needle was hovering over his abdomen right near the wound "A warrior does not need relief from pain. I suffer pain for my mistake in battle, that is my punishmen't'." his mandibles clicked the 't' as if to emphasize the traditional ways of his culture. Then he stepped back and let go of her wrist "if you wisss to come, you must fight as well." he reached to his belt and grabbed a hilt with woven black leather and many small beads made of bone clattered lightly. The Hilt was made out of an old but foreign metal, it was very strong and advanced, created to withstand the acid blood of the Alien. "spear." he told her gruffly and held it out for her, though there were no spear heads on either side, he assumed she would understand how to use the technology, then it popped into his mind and he quickly shifted his grip on the hilt, his thumb reaching over and pushing a small engraved marking down, on either end long serrated spear blades shot out. Then he touched the marking again roughly, his hand jostling a bit in open air, before handing it to her once again.

She froze in mid action, her delicate fingers had just threat the needle with the stitching wire and her eyes gazed softly down at her nails. Licking her lips hesitantly she carried on and tied off the wire, then she moved and knelt over his body, pushing her long braid back over her shoulder but it began to slid towards her shoulder once again' as she leaned and started unwrapping his wound slowly, her eyelids half shut in what seemed like a serene expression. "I had a dream about you, you were bleeding badly but you would not let me help." she murmured and set the gauze ball off the her side on the bed. Then she tilt her head and looked at him out of the corner of her blind eye, all she could see was a mix of fuzzy shapes and his dark blurr of hair. Then her milky eye looked back to the wound, making work of covering a pad in rubbing alcohol she started cleaning it off swiftly "who is Mika?" she whispered and pressed her lips together for a brief moment "you said her name in my dream, but you were so mad at me because I didnt understand... I know it was a dream, but I heard you speak her name before. You seemed so fond.." she smiled whistfully but on the inside she was nervous, hoping she hadnt struck a nerve. Though she noticed his fingers brush a scar on his chest, her eyes widened a bit is that a bullet wound?! she bit her lip and looked back at the wound sadly.

Jul snarled at her and he took out a matte silver disk, and curved blades shot out from the more rounded pat where his hand wasnt holding. Poising to throw it and strike, then he let out a low growl "ooman... you cause nuisance. Keep your bravery, you will need all." he snapped and then he picked up his mask, the dark eye slots covering his enraged blue gaze and he pressed it to his face slowly. Pulling his mandibles in and then cracking his neck from side to side loudly after it was on. He took in a deep breath and let out a slow purr like growl, the blood lust rising in his veins, the hunt was on.

Jul clicked with amusement and then touched a button on his gauntlet, suddenly with a wave of flickering light he was gone as his cloaking device kicked in "I do not have problem," He rumbled and then appeared again, standing right behind her- tall, muscled, and intimidating. It did amuse him how she was brave and bold, not to mention the human did not seem scared of him. That was good, hopefully she would do well. It would make him want to bellow a laugh if his father- the king- saw the mark of a Yautja warrior upon her brow, that is.. if she did make a kill. He looked down at her and his mask was all she saw, though his amusement seemed to seep through with the way he turned his head with an excited enthusiasm "you follow, first target is north," he said, though he did not know that it was where the towns hospital was.

(monday monday gonna get down on monday! xD I actually love school morning mondays, they make me feel so refreshed, since sundays are usually so boring. anywyas I am going to assume you will be going to bed soon, if you have not already :) just wanted to make sure you knew that I wish you a happy day at school tomorrow while I have the chance! Aldo I hope all is well with Michael~ :3 )

Rebecca stitched him up quickly while she listened to his voice, she bit her lip and felt a rush of embarrassment wash over her I was talking in my sleep? and... how did he force her?... she didnt ask though, only nodded and then finished off the last stitch, tying it of and then she picked up the scissors and snipping it off nicely "okay... no more breaking down doors.." she said softly and then looked out at him, putting everything in the small kit and setting it on her bed side table. She moved and then picked up his shirt, handing the warm fabric back to him with a slight shrug "I'm sorry that had to happen Mr. Awyzuia," she said, dropping back to sincere formals, of course dressing a matter such as this girls death, she didnt want to use his name and assume she had the right to try and understand what pain he had dealt with. Though she felt like an idiot for having almost ended her own life... that would have been a heavy burden on his soul.

Rebecca was shocked into silence, her mouth open her her eyes slightly wide as she watched him walk away. Then she closed her mouth and touched her finger tips to her lips, shaking her head quietly and hugging her other arm around underneath her chest. The hurt in her gaze was clear as she looked at him, then she got up off the bed and walked slowly over to her bag. Crouching down in front of it like a little kid in a sand box, her knees up to her chest. "I suggest you get some sleep..." she said quietly and slowly pulled out her ipod and headphones, knowing that she couldnt escape her room since she had not been offered to wander around some strangers home. She was trapped under Axels cold stare, and she was feeling almost ashamed under his gaze. He had listened to her dreams and now he had another way to get to her, she shrugged weakly "Maybe I will just take it without asking." she replied softly, but it was a dangerously soft tone, and it was empty of emotion. Not her rage or stuttering she usually had, like some switch inside her had been flipped.

She stared at the floor quietly and then clutched her music device a little tighter "curiosity killed the cat Axel." she sighed tiredly and then stood up slowly, walking back over to her bed slowly. Pulling back the covers and then putting in a headphone "Im not so sure you have noticed Mr. Awyzuia," she began sweetly and then looked over at him, meeting his gaze "but i am tired and I am not up for your games." she turned and sat down on the uncovered part of the bed, seeing the ipod down and then slowly guiding her braid down over her left shoulder with gentle fingers, pulling the hair tie off the end and then she began to unweave the strands until all of her hair tumbled down her shoulder in soft rippling waves. "I just dont have the energy for any of this right now..." she said quietly and then deftly wiped her mouth as if she had a horrid taste in there, the thought of his sudden attack on her mouth made her feel sick and used. It showed as her skin paled and the way her gaze grew dull, quietly she combed her fingers through her golden blond hair and watched in pool in her lap. It got her thinking about getting a trim, not to short, she rather have her hair longer. With the slightest of shrugs towards her thoughts, she lay on her side slowly and reached to hug a pillow down to her chest.
