She deserved it..... Right?? Maybe even a tiny bit

[/b][/div][/center]

"Yep, Waaaaay out of your caliber.."

Mario would say proudly finally feeling like he was getting the hang of her Woman tricks. Finally i win, now she will have to come home with me indefinitely, the quicker we leave, the more rest i get to have. Mario thought to himself greedily waiting to see what she was going to do. Which once again would strike another problem to his mission of bringing her back home. What was this here, was she, showing emotions to his words? What exactly was going on, and why was she looking like she actually cared about what he was saying. Maybe he had caught on to her trick a Little to easily and has now hurt her feelings. Of course in the beginning of all this he probably would have been happy, but what if he brought her back and she was sad. Her father would probably beat him to a pulp. "No.... I mean yes... I... No, it wasn't suppose to."[/color] Mario would studder trying to fix his words.

The look on her face was killing him, it was like she was performing some kind of, sensitive jutsu. He could feel his body getting weak, and as sad as the expression on her face. What had he done, he had let his man over woman instinct get the best of him. Now she was sad, REALLY sad, and guess who was the blame. Well it was obvious that it was his, and now things were going to get worst from here. A lot worst now that she was more than likely in tears. How could she hate him already, he barely got the chance to actually get to know her, I mean Mario is a nice guy. Right? After he did take the mission to go save the princess like figure in the scenario, but from the looks of things now, it was game over, Mamamia. And before he had the chance to fix anything, Dante Decides he wants to show up. "Always trying to make things seems like its my fault, I'm waay more cooler than she is." Mario would mumble softly to himself, immaturely.

He actually started to feel bad for a moment, he never really meant the things to get were they were at now. I mean come on, she wasn't so bad looking, ok, maybe she wasn't bad looking at all. But she deserved it right? I mean come on, she was being all selfish after he came all this way to save her. So maybe she needed a taste of her own medicine. "You two never talk, and finally when you do you can't get along for 10 seconds..." Turning his back away from the sad Roze he would try to keep his composure so that he wouldn't feel guilty, and would respond in a soft, almost jealous tone for him taking her side.

"I tried, but she insisted on being... A, mean.... Her"[/color]

Roze was sobbing loudly, but there wasn't a single tear running down her hidden face. She was waiting patiently, keeping her very convincing act up - this was the way she had got all those nice toys as a child, she had polished her acting skills to perfection while puppeteering her maids.
Unfortunately the girl was too caught up in her game to notice the arrival of the third member of their team-to-be, his only friend and a person he looked up to... Hyuuga Dante, or as she called him, Masa. Her sobs were too loud for her to hear the Hyuuga's first words, she didn't even hear him approach. When his hand finally touched her, comforting, Roze felt a surge of triumph inside of her - the plan had worked!
When the Hyuuga was in the middle of his second sentence, the medic girl reacted: she slammed her palms to the ground before her to support her body when she aimed a low sweeping kick to the boy's chest, meant to knock him to the ground on his back - not too hard to really hurt, but hard enough for him to feel it. This was supposed to be her winning move to end the debute between her and the Akadou.
Roze was already performing her move when, to her amazement, she recognized the voice as a new but familiar one and her heart sunk when she saw the Hyuuga boy beside her - the wrong target. Way wrong.
NO, NO, NO! her mind screamed, but it was too late for her to stop the move.
As the Hyuuga's eyes were on his long time friend, her attempt would most likely be a perfect hit, landing right after he had finished his sentence. Her face red, Roze would kneel beside the Hyuuga and instinctively rise her hands before her face, peeking from between her fingers in horror.
"M-Masa, I'm so s-sorry, I didn't... I was... I'm so very sorry!"

[Dante]

oshiz.


And here, a series of unfortunate events would unfold. And they would all occur so very quickly, in a mere second to be more precise. Just as he knelt his body down next to Rozey to calm her down, and just as he lifted his head watching his stubborn friend turn his back from the situation, Dante would find his own back colliding against the ground, the only thing to cushion his plummet was the breezy grass underneath him. "ACK!!" Was the only sound he could emit as the kick connected with his chest. One thing the young Hyuuga learned, is never drop your guard. But when you trusted someone, you trusted them and that was that simply -- there was no taking it back. This ultimately results in ones shield, defense, or guard stat reduced all the way to a solid negative one. That negative one resulted in any attack dished out from that point on hurting like HELL. Fortunately this time, the attacker didn't place everything they had into it, leaving rendering him still functional to say the least.

Clutching his chest, eyes shut closed, the boy swayed about on his back from side to side like a turtle attempting to roll back on its stomach. Coughing, he could only barely manage words. "Wha... The hell.. Was that for..?"" He could barely make out her words as he continued his episode on the grass, trying to recuperate from the surprise attack. Panting, his eyes fixed on the girl now knelt beside him, coming to his aid. Sorry was all he could make out and he watched the worried expression caught on her face. He couldn't even see Mario now. His smirk stretched across his lips again slowly, and his panting turned into soft chuckles. At least he knew his teammate could pack a punch.. Well kick..

Wow, looks like you messed up big time.

[/b][/div][/center]

"What are these guys doing?"

Mario would ask himself sort of hearing a small sound, but he wouldn't turn around just yet. He wanted to display his sign of anger at the both of them. Shes such a loser, first she decides she wanted to play the role of being hard ass, now all of a sudden shes a cry baby. Sigh, i hope she isn't this wimpy on the battlefield. With that thought in mind, Mario would turn around to see what was going on, and apparently just in time to see Dante on the ground, in Mario would identify as Pain. "Well, this shouldn't be much of a surprise." Mario would say laughing aloud before slowly approaching the two, smiling as he was watching Roze apologize to him. Pausing for a moment, Mario would shake his head in the small thought that this was suppose to happen to him. Which would immediately stop his laughter. In a way, Dante actually saved him from getting that kick, because whether or not he was going to admit it, he was going to go over to her.

Well, i guess this means i have to owe him an apology also, since all this was because of my ignorance. But of course on the other hand, she would also have to apologize for her, well her falseness. Oh, and the fact that she was going to kick me.[/i] Mario thought to himself grinning in almost excitement. As he would approach the two, he would take a knee on the other side of him so that he would have to be next to Roze. "Eh.... I guess i gotta say I'm sorry, didn't mean for you to take a literal hit for the team..." Mario would say scratching his head feeling sort of guilty. Dante was always the one that had to handle their ignorant, since he and Roze were always in some kind of altercation, this just being one of the first actually involving words. Other times would include sticking out of the tongue, mean looks, and on some occasions, the middle finger. Which if seen by anyone can be slightly embarrassing, especially because of their age. "But i also think someone owes me an apology for trying to get a literal kick at the Oscars." Mario would say pointing at Roze as if he were snitching on her, which he was.[/justify][/blockquote][/font]

[Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ]

This was the last thing she wanted to happen, kicking her only friend... Small tears of embarrassment formed to the corners of her eyes, but then she heard a strange sound. Confused, Roze lowered her hands, placing them on her knees, and tilted her head to side. Masa was... was he laughing? Certainly he was smiling, at least.
Relieved, Roze let a small, uncertain smile to her lips. She moved her hands over the Hyuuga's chest, brushing over the area where her kick had landed with a faint green light under her palms. Since there wasn't real damage done, Masa's pain would be gone in a flash, the minor damage that was the source of it was now healed.
When the Akadou apologized to Masa, she did not mind, but when he wanted to hear her apologies to him, Roze simply turned her head to give him a short - but lasting - death stare. Like she would do that, after everything he had said...
Her attention returned to Masa and her face brightened. She offered her small hand to help him to get to sit on the level of the other two.
"Y-You came to look for me...? Thank you, I'm so glad to see you again! I didn't even realize how late it was! I guess we should be heading home now, hm? It's going to take a while to get back, maybe I could offer you a cup of tea as a reward at my house...?"
When the girl spoke the word ''we'', she glanced at the Akadou again, making sure he understood that the word she spoke meant only Masa and herself. Only a short private meeting with him had been more than enough for Roze, Masa couldn't possibly expect her to stand him on the way home too... Or could he...?
On the other hand, a walk in the forest with the Hyuuga was something she had wished for a long time. Her amber eyes were shining and she was smiling happily now, waiting for his answer.

[Dante]

calm.

Finally, everything would return to its original state and the boy was able to clearly decipher words to their meaning, hearing them perfectly. His grey, lifeless pupils watched Rozey's hand move across his chest over the point that brought him pain and used her medical abilities to return it to its original state. A sigh of relief would escape his pale lips, and his hand would gently slide into Rozey's, allowing her to assist him in raising his torso to come to an equal level with his two teammates. "Don't worry about it. I've endured worst. You forget who I live with?" The smirk still pasted on his expression, his remark was spoken joke fully, though the statement remained valid. He had of course been referring to the elders. He loved them, but they could be some cruel sons of bitches at times. Along with freedom, it was another dream of his to change his Clan's ways. Perhaps someday he could become the Prince. But then again, that would contradict his other dream of freedom. Complicated, no? Not really.

His eyes turned over to Rozey, locking deeply into her own pupils. His smirk showed that all is well. "I hate tea. Treat me to some lemonade instead?" Gathering himself and rising to his feet, the boy would stand erect and allow his gaze to drift off into the sparkling blue pond. "So this is the beginning, huh?" Cooing to himself. Finally snapping out of his trance in a second or two, the boy would revert his attention back to his friends, or 'teammates-to-be'. "We're training tomorrow morning together. No excuses, we're going all out. We need to get used to each other." He put emphasis on the last bit of his sentence, exchanging looks with both of them back and forth, of course implying that the need to kiss and make up -- quickly. Finally the white eyes would attach themselves back to the beautiful pond, sparkling so brightly in the sunset. "Let's get back. Daddy is worried about poor Rozey y'know?" A smirk. Teasing only, of course.

---- Special TREATMENT

Mario would watch the senery as Roze would begin to start healing the cheap impact that she placed upon his chest. But Mario couldnt deny it, he knew that Roze was going to be very helpful towards their supposely new form team. Of course he wasnt going to tell her that, but still.

"Y-You came to look for me...? Thank you, I'm so glad to see you again! I didn't even realize how late it was! I guess we should be heading home now, hm? It's going to take a while to get back, maybe I could offer you a cup of tea as a reward at my house...?"

Mario's eyes would widen as he would hear that comment, he couldn't believe that Dante was going to get the credit for all of his work. For all he knew, he probably took the bus to get down here. Mario would simply turn the other way so that he wouldn't have to show his face to Roze, he didn't want her to feel like she had the upper hand within the scenario. After listening to the conversation of the "apparent" love birds, Mario would slowly stand up to his feet and would begin to walk in the other direction. "WELLL!! i guess its pretty apparent that I'm not invited to this."

[/color] Mario would state before turning back to Roze and sticking out his tongue. "So i guess ill just home and get some work done with my training, since SOMEONE already ruined my day off. So you two guys just have fun, and find me whenever you guys need me, Im outie."[/color] Mario would state finally, before throwing the deuces, and would begin taking off full speed back to the village.

Training, tomorrow...?
Roze stood up after the Hyuuga and took a step backwards. Her attention seemed to be drawn to the pond, but before she turned her face away from the two, one could see that her smile had dropped and her face was neutral, eyes blank, staring in the distance. There was clearly something in Masa's words that worried her, sending the girl deep in to her own thoughts.
Whatever was in her mind, she was too occupied by it to correct Masa's words about her father, but the seriousness of her state would be revealed to the Hyuuga when she didn't even realize to yell something sharp and smart after the Akadou boy when he decided to take his leave.
There would be a brief silent moment before she finally turned back to the pale eyed boy.
"I think we have to leave the lemonade for later, I'm going to take the longer route back. I have... many things in my head right now and I think some fresh air will clear my brains. I know this place better than the village, I'll be alright."
Roze smiled at her friend, but the smile was not genuine - she had always been bad at hiding her emotions.
The girl approached the Hyuuga once more, rising on her tiptoes to give him a small kiss on his chin - a friendly one, of course, he was his important friend after all.
"I'll see you later, Masa" she spoke cheerily and started towards the woods again, disappearing in the scenery in mere seconds.
In his hand the Hyuuga would find a small note, slipped between his fingers when the girl had given him the brief goodbye kiss:

Meet me at XXXX at midnight, the usual spot. I'll be waiting.[/color]

[Dante]

oh mario.

He was so ridiculously terrible at hiding his emotions. Perhaps maybe he wasn't trying to hide them at all. Either way, it was terribly nerve wracking. The boy watched his friend march off, and all he could do was allow a sigh to escape his lips and shake his head, only to follow with a chuckle. He'd be alright. Mario wasn't the type to dwell on things for too long. Hell, the blond Akadou was probably too excited about training to worry about anything else. The train of thought was interrupted by Rozey's soft voice. The lifeless pupils redirected their attention back to her, locking onto her figure. His eyebrow cocked slightly as he responded. "Yup. Training tomorrow morning, Rozey." It was unlike her. The area was drowned in silence, the only thing sounding in the night air was the chirping of the crickets and frogs near the pond. His head tilted to the side slightly as he watched her, his smirk faded from life. More evidence that her and Mario were so much alike. They both were truly terrible at hiding their emotions and in contrast Dante was a professional at it.

"I think we have to leave the lemonade for later, I'm going to take the longer route back. I have... many things in my head right now and I think some fresh air will clear my brains. I know this place better than the village, I'll be alright."

Although his orders were to bring her back, Dante could truly careless about her father or his superiors. He knew Rozey, and her mind was made up. But that didn't excuse the fact that something was clearly troubling her. He said nothing, but only watched her with serious pale eyes. She approached him and gave him a kiss on the chin. Awkward. He couldn't help but blush honestly, though he would not remove his gaze. No, Dante honestly never thought of Rozey than more of a friend. He never thought of any girl ever reaching the next level with himself. Merely a quick thought to be thrown in the back of his mind briefly. She'd be alright he figured. He watched her scurry away and finally his attention would bring him downward, staring at the note in his fingers. The usual spot.." Finally his lips would part. A small rotation of his body and he'd stare back into the pond. Silence filled the air once again. His usual smirk stretched across his face. "So this is the beginning, huh?" He'd turn, shoving his hands inside of his pockets the boy would begin a casual stroll into the woods, heading back into the direction of the village. Who knew what time would bring?
