The Beach. Problems.

[Mr. Kaar]

((OoC: Thsi is for me and M.A.P, but others are welcome to join too.))

He just stood there looking out at the crashing waters. Wearing his reguler cloths hiding most all the scars that riddled his body, his gloves hid the rail road spike scars, that went through his hands, same with his shoes and his feet. His white t-shirt hid the giant 'X' and multiple hundred other scars like the scar on his right side where a piece of glass had been imbedded. The right arm had a long sleeve on it to hide the red lightning shaped scars that ran down it, and tan cargo shorts hid the rest, like the scar where a yard ornament had been drivin through his leg.

The water always calmed him, but as he looked out at it, his nose began to bleed. He knew this because it was like everything was a distant echoe. These where symptoms of a heart disease he thought he was ri dof. Was it punishment for going against his vow to stop fighting? He began to fall limp as his heart began to attack him, almost literally. It just began to pump fast. He fell down to one knee, the blood now coming from the corner of his mouth and his left eye. Those dark blue eyes where filled with pain as well. This was something he htought he was rid of, he really did think he could live a longer fuller life away from violance by moving here, and starting a family with Eury.

"Why?"

He gurgled out as blood spat from his lips as he was knocked on his ass and slumped forward. He was trying to fight through it, but he remembered, he brought a pill with him today, one of those temporary cures that slows the heart rate. He shakily reached for the inner pocket of hsi vest, also wondering why no one was stopping to see if he was ok. Damn people. Ignorant bastards. His fingers clasped around the pill and pulled it out, but he fell back on his back, his face painted red. He dropped the pill on his shirt, good thing it was dark blue. But he didn't have the strength to grab it.

[M.A.P.]

She had been..wading in the water. Never going deep enough to where the waves could go over her head- she couldn't swim. Not very well at least. Honcho had stayed with Mr Hiroko at the house. M.A.P. having left a few days ago- after scrubbing the house top to bottom- had found the beach a nice place to visit. Looking this way and that, she sighed and turned around, walking out of the water- her already too large clothing clinging to her and at the same time trying to fall off- well her pants at least. She really needed a belt. Picking up the ring which usually rested at the base of her braid, she began to walk...and she saw a blond male fall down, reach for..something and fall even father down.

However this was not what disturbed the raven haired amnesiatic. What bothered her was the blood. She recognized it from a distance- after so many years of seeing it fall- she knew exactly what it was. She didn't run, she never ran even when her life depended on it. It was one of those many ingrained things..which she had no grasp on- simply did.

Kneeling down, M.A.P. looked at the little blue pill and picked it up. Casually putting it on his lips- she waited. He looked somewhat alert even if a bit blood covered. She'd have to walk him through the water if he could get back up.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon's vision was very shaky, like the world was vibrating. His eyes where shaking violantly. But he could make out what was going on. Someone had put his pill on his lips. He needed to open his mouth. Just a few muscles, thats all he had to do. He opened his mouth letting the pill slip in, swollowing it with the blood as the liquid he would need for a pill. It would take a good three or four minutes, but his heart finally slowed down. He knew he probably looked like e had just been on the losing side of a fight. He didn't want to move right, now, his vision was still settling, but he was able to talk.

"Thanks."

He took deep breaths to calm himself, and keep his heart rate down. Slowly his eyes found focus and he looked at the person that was able to take time out of their busy scheduel and help the slowly dieing senior live a few more days. He would move his right hand with a twitch, just to make sure he was still with the living. The person that had helped him was... Well hot, and wet.Odd, but still, he was pretty sure thanks wouldn't cut it once he got hisbarings, he would have to repay the favor.

[M.A.P.]

"You are very welcome."

Well he was alive. What luck! She hated the big white building and was..secretly afraid of the people who would lock her away for a very long time. She didn't like them, she was- uneasy around them. But this was not the important issue at the moment.

Violet eyes looking him over carefully, M.A.P. was happy to see he was still alive and starting to function. But the red face did him no good. Though she gave easy view to her burned arm, M.A.P. carefully began wiping the blood off of Leon's face. covering his eyes, she squeezed her sleeve and the salt water washed away the blood on his face.

"I hope you're alright now. All that blood, I'm sure you must be feeling woozy."

[Mr. Kaar]

As the blood would be washed away it would reviel the four horizontal scars on his right cheek from a nasty punch with studded gloves. His hair would move out of the way of his black diamond shaped tattoo, with the two black triangles tilted to fit the top two sides of the diamond. Coming from the corners of hsi eye brows are scars that zig up to his hair line almost identicle, which is irony since they where givin' to him by the same man, on different occasions. Each only taking a single punch. But he was breathing normally, which was good. The pill was doing its job. He smiled because he knew, now, he had a few more days.

"I'll be alright for now. Alittle dizzy, but thats usually what happens after wards."

Usually. . . He has had 4 heart attacks like that including this one, each time he was either able to get a pill or made it to the hospital with enough to time revive him with the dephibulator. But he had caught the burning on her arm... He didn't want to push into issues of his savior. . . Now isn't that odd? The savior becomes the saved. Leon laughed in his mind at this and began to sit up.

"Odd way of meeting people I guess, but my name is Leon Sudeki."

[M.A.P.]

She offered a faded, mechanical smile to his introduction. Easing the blood of his face, "I am M.A.P., it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

She looked around, "One second, Stay right here." She walked over to an ice cream stand and ordered a vanilla. He was visibly shaking, he may not have realized it- but she could see it. After blood loss like his, he needed to restore his sugar stocks. Walking back, she held it out to him, "I have little training in medical situations, but you've lost alot of blood and with nothing more healthy about I can only give you this to help keep your levels even without a crash."

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon sat there controlling his breathing, trying to make sure he was not going to go through another episode, though he doubted it very much. Also, he decided she meant well, or esle she wouldn't of saved him, so he figured an explanation was in order for his bleeding. He did as he was told and took the ice cream licking at it a bit, he wasn't fond of the cold, but he didn't argue. After a few more licks he would begin his explanation, wasn't every day he explained his heart condition to someone. Let alone a nearly complete stranger.

"I have this heart condition.... The doctros can;t find a cause, nor a cure. The pill is temporary, soon it wont even work.... My estimated life span... My expiration date is my 22nd birthday. Gives me 4 years. My heart pumps blood faster and faster, which causes the blood vessels to burst, and forces it to find ways out of the over stocked veins. Mouth, eyes, nose, ear, whatever. Not the most pleasent way to die, but thats how its gonna end."

And as truthful as he was being, he didn't sound sad. why? Because he was happy. He was engaged to be merried soon, and he was at peace here. No gang wars, no friends constently in trouble... It was perfect for an old warrior like him to retire and accept fate. His fate, and the fate of all warriors like him. The old bloodlines are running out of room in this world, for some reason fate decided the Sudeki bloodline was too old.

[M.A.P.]

She offered her trained smile again, nodding slowly. "I recognize the medication."

M.A.P. however shook her head, "Though it is sad to see so accepting of so early a fate. You're far too young to be accepting of fate." She nodded slowly, "Handsome young men should not be so closed minded as to accept fate deemed by those who claim to foresee the future. I know many a person said to be lived long past their years and deemed to do otherwise by others."

She knew about diseases- even rare ones, she had no idea who re really was but he seemed to lack faith. He looked well versed in fighting, good for him. But as a warrior, if this is what he thought himself as, he needed to know he could live well past any years dictated. Reaching up, she carefully wiped a small bit of blood from his face, "You're a mess, Mr. Sudeki. Perhaps when you feel a bit better- you should take a walk in the salt water to clean yourself up."

She was genuine in her worrying, blood was hard to get out of clothing. She hummed softly, violet eyes looking him over carefully- in the past..trapped in that vile building- she would have snapped his neck as opposed to giving him the pill. She watched him quietly, studying him- absorbing every detail and if he watched her closely enough, he'd realize that she was mirroring his movements, excluding the whole eating ice cream process.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon nodded as she spoke about something he knew all too well. As obviouse by his many scars he was obviously in about 100 too many fights and didn't know when to stop. He went to hand her his ice cream so he would be free to take off his upper clothing, which he was sure she wouldn't copy, as he had noticed her copying his motions. The rest of his millions of scars would be visible as he was soon tot ake up her offer on the water, and would rather not have his shirt and vest get wet. They would supply him with warmth when he got out of the water freezing and cold from the wind. He would take his gloves off too, showing the scars where rail road spikes had been drivin through the center of them as he was nailed to the cross.

He would reach for his ice cream again, and lean back on his left hand while eating it.

"I think I'll walk in the water after I eat the ice cream. . . I don't want to accept death. Not any time soon... I'm gonna start a family soon, for a while I had no symptoms of my heart disease, but ever since Hiroko showed up again... My blood wont let me stay away from fighting anymore."

The giant 'X' shaped scar on his chest, a scar where a piece of glass was rammed into his right side form a Tornado, his right arm seemed a lighter slightly paler skin tone than the rest of his body about where the scar that showed where it was cut off started. From that scar multiple little red lightning shaped scars raced down to his wrisat where they surgically rebuilt his nervous system in the arm. Multiple hundreds of other scars where he had been beaten, tortured, even burned, where all over his upper body. As a warrior, he never stopped, not until he had absolutely nothing left to fight with. He planned on doing it against his heart disease, but with Eury, he could be at peace. But, the thought of leaving her alone again... No he would concentrate on his ice cream eating for now.

[M.A.P.]

Hiroko..It was Mr. Katashi's fault? That Mr. Sudeki's heart was under so much strain? She was aware that Mr. Katashi fought- a man of his caliber seemed to have no other purpose in life no matter his age or build. She leaned back on her right hand, mirroring only his basic movements. She wasn't doing it purposely now- but it came now naturally and easily.

She bobbed her head slowly, no one knew she lived with Mr Katashi and she was content keeping it that way for now. She felt bad for it- for the harm the man she lived with was causing this soon to be married soul. Mr. Sudeki seemed sweet, kind hearted- but M.A.P. was never a good judge of character..after all she had trusted Mr Kazahana at one point in time...and then her grandmother died...and the needle..she shook her head- shaking away those thoughts.

Looking up, she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear- the same as before, it wasn't cut properly to stay in place, and answered, "Promising your family might help keep your blood from boiling..a promise to a loved one tends to keep you alive longer. For those you love."

She only understood the concept of love, not love itself. She had never felt it, acted upon it or anything of the sort- but she had seen it though everyone seemed to have a different explanation of what it was. Maybe his would be the one best for this small..bit of information.

[Mr. Kaar]

Well Leon wanted to get away from the subject of love and death and all that, wasn't his way to stay in the past. So he sat up and gobbled the rest of his ice cream down, before grabbing his throat in pain.. Damn the cold, too cold. He ocughed which helped rush blood to his head, which would in turn cool his throat. But he would manage a few words.

"Brain freeze!"

But once that subsided he would push off with his left arm, standing up from that he would kick off his shoes and slip out of his socksm he would do the whole 'ah' and 'ei' from the heat of the sand on his feet. But he would walk towards the water and stand at the edge, before sitting in the small wake. It did feel good, he would walk out further later, maybe find a random wave to catch all the way back. He would wave for M.A.P to follow him to that spot, because he still wanted to talk to her.

"Well my weddings in a few days, I'll give ya an invitation later. They are in my car.

He would laugh as if it where a seriouse joke, though for him it was. Until finally he stopped laughing. Well alot about him had been said, and he wasn;t one to ask questions, she'd warm up later maybe. But he still wanted to hear what she would say about going to his wedding.

[M.A.P.]

She followed him, quietly watching over both of their things left on the shore. But she never removed her shoes, they were weighted specially just for her. She didn't float- it was her biggest downfall of her being her..she couldn't swim with or without her boots and sad a small overly cautious way of moving, though smooth, if at any moment she went under the water she could have easily lept out.

Something about M.A.P. she didn't laugh. Couldn't. Didn't know how. It was amongst the many sensations, feelings, and emotions she had yet to know- though she could mimic, she never truly felt it. Nor did she understand it. But..she had been told many many times before you're not supposed to understand emotion- it occurs on its own.

Following him and nodded, "I have never been to a wedding before. It would a wonderful experience."

[Mr. Kaar]

There was something... Off about this girl. Leon wasn't one to ask questions as stated before, but he was damn close to wanting to ask her a question. But he kept to himself still. He wasn't sure if it would be apropriate either. So he smiled to her reaction of going to his wedding.

"Thats awesome. I can't wait myself. Want to hang out and swim for a bit?"

Leon was in the mood to do some seriouse swimming, maybe body surf some waves. Yeah that would be a great work out and very relaxing at the same time.

[M.A.P.]

She stood still, not one wave went over her head. She stood on her toes the steel in her weighted boots keeping her steady. Violet eyes looked up and she smiled almost warily, "I cannot swim, but I am more than happy to wade as far as I can. I am enjoying our talk, Mr Sudeki."

She was actually. Mr Hiroko wasn't really talkative..seemed to have a bit on his mind as of late- though having known him for only so long, she could only assume that. She was not used to such silence in a home..she missed the little girl who always smiled so brightly when M.A.P. was around. ..who was that little girl? Her sister maybe? Looking distant, she lifted her hand and wiped a single line of blood from her face.

Rather than washing it away, she turned slightly away and licked it off her hand. No need to attract unwanted friends. Looking up she gave a tiny worried smile. The reasoning behind the red was simple- she quietly hoped she would not have to explain the intricacies of how her tear ducts had been fused to her bloodstream by an accident...one that only her arm carried the memory for.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon's left eye brow would raise for two reasons. One, he noted the blood, two. She couldn't swim? Everyone should learn to swim, thats where mammols came from was the ocean. Even Leon, The Lightning Strike loved to swim. No, it was decided, he wanted to teach her to swim! Yes! He slammed his right hand in a fist, into his left open hand.

"Yes, do you want to learn how to swim?"

Thats right, Leon the Sensei of all things! Mwahahaha. I mean. Leon had experience teaching martial arts students his fighting style. Could it be as simple teaching someone to swim too? Maybe. But first the student must be willing. And if M.A.P said no, then she said no. Simple.
