The Mashima Residence(^^ I guess Jyo and company)

[Kasumi]

Kasumi had spent a long day of rummaging about the house un-disturbed, cleaning things up and make sure everything was neat and tidy. She wasn't entirely sure why she'd done that, but she just did. Perhaps she wanted to repay Jyo for his kindness, she'd left school earlier then usual to do that and he should be returning to the house soon.

And Kasumi her self had found a nice window sill to prop her self up into, the window was opened allowing the cool breeze to brush across her skin her white shirt was unbuttoned down the middle though nothing was really exposed.

It was her relaxation time, she'd probably button the shirt up when she noticed Lene or Jyo returning home. She was also clad in a simple skirt her head laid back against the frame of the window one of her shoeless feet dangled out the window as she sat there, her voice carrying on lightly....some-how the crazy girl had lost track of time and had begun to sing quietly, but loud enough for people who'd been near enough the window or Kasumi her self to hear.

"Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box"

Her beautiful eyes seemed completely zoned out as she sung, her hair falling around her as she was lost in a world of flashbacks and memories of her time at #499. Her body seemed to shimmer within the sunlight as she continued to sing, her voice unlike normal seemed to be peaked with emotion and still managed to sing the song perfectly.

"I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got

Theres only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know Ill never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere"

The wind carried her sweet and soft voice, as the song had rounded off toward the end her head and crooked to one side...she could have sworn that somewhere during the song she'd heard the front door open, slowly her hand dropped down and began to button the buttons of her shirt...

[Jyo]

Jyo had pulled up on his chooper parking the large bike to the left of Kasumi's Since getting it fixed he didn't drive the viper unless he needed to take Lene somewhere. He turned off the large bike and then he couldn't help but notice singing. He could tell the voice was Kasumi's. He didn't know she could sing granted the situation had never come up. But he had to admit it was a lovely voice and he could catch the lyrics as he got to the door and recognized the song as one of Lene's favorites.

He opened the door and saw Kasumi buttoning up her shirt. She seemed to like being in a state of undress from what he could tell and he couldn't argue wit that. He himself rather liked being without clothing but he was normally dressed for Lene's sake and kasumi seemed to do the same so he didn't bring up the issue.
"That was a nice but of singing. Pretty moving actually." He said without a hint of teasing as it was a genuine compliment. He took of his light jacket that covered the white tank-top. He had been wearing his dark suit less often lately He was normally clad in a tank-yop as he didn't like shirts and Lene had asked about the scarring on his arms which she haden't seen before. he also had the snug blue jeans and black boots. His state of appaerance was becoming more vaired lately to be honest.
"So how was school?' He asked from the kitchen then emerged with a bottle of water. Even though they went to the same school and were both seniors they didn't have any classes together so far.

[Kasumi]

"I didn't spend much time there..." Kasumi'd said half-heartedly, her eyes adverted downwards. Oh why did he have to be such a man like he was, a sigh flew out of her lips as her head tilted to the side again and turned out toward the window.

Her shirt was buttoned up once more and now all she had to look forward to was Lene and Mutziko coming home...she wondered about how much longer it would be when they'd return. She wouldn't mention about why she was suddenly slightly upset, hell, not even in her own thoughts would she mention it.

This was his alone to figure out why Kasumi's mood seemed to flatline when he'd asked her about her day at school. Her voice maintained a nonchalant tone to it as she called back toward him "Have a nice day?"

[Jyo]

Jyo came back out looking around the place noticing it had been cleaned.
"Wow nice job tidying up the place. I wasn't going to take care of it until tomorrow." he said and then leaned against a wall. He didn't fail to notice her tone and was curious.
"Well for the most part okay. A few punks dealt with here and there. The general runaround for a day." he said with a shrug taking another drink.

"So whats up? You seem down sudden;y. Anything I can do to help?" he asked. He did know that Kasumi had a tendacy to swing from mood to mood here and there. He didn't often see her like this though. The other ones he more or less ignored knowing that was how she was. But the sullen flat type of mood was one that she didn't often have and it usually meant she was upset for some reason from what he had seen.

[Kasumi]

Her head remained tilted out of a few though a small smile had crossed her lips, so he wasn't a complete idiot afterall. A small giggle escaped from her as she allowed the cool breeze and warm sunlight wash over her body laying there in the window delicately.

"Nothing's wrong..." Came her answer after a long pause of silence, it was actually pretty nice that for once her mind seemed to have shut it's self off...there was silence now, and she liked it like that....

[Jyo]

Jyo gave a shrug. Jyo wasn't one to press on with something unless he felt it was needed. If Kasumi told him she was fine than he would trust it to be true. After all he couldn't expect her to be bright and cheerful all the time. Sometimes people just needed to be calm and quiet. He had done it for years.

He let the silence hang for a while and rather liked it. It was nice to be able to spend time around someone without having to talk about every little thing. Companionship alone was enough alot of the time. Though something did cross his mind.
"By the way. Lene is at a friend's house for the night. So it's just us and Mutziko unless either of you are off somewhere for the night." He said.
