Ball Room

*makes sure no one is around*
*stands up and walks over to the piano*
*plays a song and sings along*

I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name

You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you

[Chorus:]
Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

*closes eyes and continues to sing*
I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say

You're going through so much
Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you

[Chorus:]
Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

*Hitomi walks in and touches her shoulder* Bat-Chan..

*jumps a little*
*stops playing and singing immediately*
Yes Hitomi-chan?

*Leans down beside her and wraps her arms around her* Bat-Chan....I have a plan to avoid conflicts between the areas.

*blinks*
And what would that be...Hitomi?

Bat.....*Sighs a little and smiles* Tell me. Are there allies of the areas? Is your area allied with another?

*Shrugs*
You and Asher govern two of the three. I am on close terms with the two of you.
*looks thoughtful*
I don't really know Kurai that well.....

Kurai is a good person though. Unless she were crazy, then there is no need to worry, right? *Thinks and grins* We have lasted long without a war.

*nods*
The longer we last, the more grateful I am.

*Sighs deeply* We are friends. And Asher is a nice guy.

*looks thoughtful*
So the only thing that could possibly be unstable is Kurai.

And she seems to be a regular person not interested in war. Right? *Taps her chin and tugs her scythe out of a black void*

*nods*
Yeah. But then there is always Krae.....
*watches Hitomi cautiously*

She is a curious type, yeah. *Licks the edge a little, letting it cut her tongue* Who knows what she will do. *Starts to draw on the floor in blood*

*shrugs*
Certainly not us.
*tilts head curiously*

*Looks up and smiles* Here. *Grabs her hand and disappears*


(I will post first you-know-where)

*walks in and looks around at the room*
*still looks like there will be a party*
*looks sad as she grabs the broom*
*starts to sweep*

*finishes sweeping*
*starts to mop*
*hums quietly to self*

Shide takes the mop from her with a bow, and begins to clean.

*nods gratefully*
*grabs a duster*
*goes to the windows and dusts*

After finishing the mopping, he starts to clean up papers from the floor. "So how are you?"

*nods*
I've been better.
*finishes dusting and puts the duster away*
Just...reminescing.

"Oh? What on?" He looks up at her, keeping his face toward the floor.

*shrugs*
The old days.
*looks over to the door then at a spot on the ground*
*her gaze finally stops on a couch as her eyes flicker to a dull gray*
