The Scenic Route ( Calamity )

[Jenna Scorn]

"Alter-man?"

She tilted her head to the side.
Chewing on a bit of her burger before clearing her throat with tea.
This might have been a little hard to process, and she'd think on it for a moment before opening her mouth.

"Why did he go after you?"

Hiroko hadn't done anything wrong, right?
Well, besides chasing after teenage girls, but...come on!
what sane Japanese man didn't?

She'd bit her lower lip and shake her head.

"You think this Alter-man is gonna go after me because I skip school???"

It was a little hard to believe, but hey, she had to know.
and now she'd sit back in her seat, crossing one leg over the other.

"I could take him."

[Jenna Scorn]

When he spoke, and those words fell form his lips. They'd hit hard, like a wave of rushing water. Though she didn't seem to be impacted much, those blue eyes would blink, and soon she'd look off to the side.

Thinking for a moment.

She couldn't escape it.
The danger, it was everywhere.

She was running from Daisuke, from his deadly love.
She'd been running form so much guilt, her father's death.
She'd lick her lips, letting her eyes look up at Hiroko.

So much running, so much danger.

She couldn't run anymore.
No.

She was sick of it.

She promised to stick by Johnathan's side, forever and always.
And she would.

Jenna hadn't committed herself to Hiroko, to her, this was a date.
And Johnathan hadn't seemed to want her, but he had protected her in that assembly.

But now she'd shake her head.

Right now, Jenna didn't need a man.
She needed friends, and maybe a protector or two.


"...I think they may come after you because they could not put me down Jenna. "

She breathed in.

she wasn't going to ask him to leave her alone.
Because she wasn't afraid, not anymore.

"I hope they do come."

A soft smirk fell on her lips as she sat up in her seat.

"I deserve to die, by the hands of a angry man. I deserve the fate of looking down the barrel of a gun."

She swallowed.
the very thought made her chest tighten.

"And as I'm looking down the barrel of that gun, I'll know no fear."

She watched Hiroko, watched his movements.

"And when they fire, and that bullet pierces my heart. I'll lay in a pool of my own blood, and I'll die with a smile on my face."

And now, that small smile would almost grow larger it would seem.

"For with that last dying breath of mine, will be a happy one. Because I'll finally be free."

Of all the guilt, all the despair.
all the hatred.

[Jenna Scorn]

She had been listening to Hiroko, intently might I add, when that waiter came by. And As Hiroko got upset, so would Calamity. She'd give a silent scowl, looking to the side.

But she'd look up to watch Hiroko, he was still speaking, and about important things.When he mentioned about stepping in front of her, she'd almost frown. But she kept a very well placed smile upon her lips, he was so brave.

Just like Valekin, and Johnathan.
Always trying to be a hero.

It was cute none the less.

"I am a terror."

Calamity could, and would believe that. And when the waiter came back, and mentioned the cops, Calamity would stiffen. But it was Hiroko who had grabbed him.

"Oh dear."

A soft whisper as she stood, gathering her jacket and pulling it on about her small frame. She'd zip it up, and watch as the man was tossed about the room like a unwanted teddy bear.

And he'd offer money to the elderly couple, and Calamity would stop. Watching for a few moments, and only glancing at Hiroko half away as he passed her. She took a moment to look around the room, everyone staring. And she'd smile to them, taking a few steps back.

"This has been fun."

And she'd turn, heading towards the door.
Running in those buckles shoes and pushing passed the doors.
Finding Hiroko, and falling in line with him.
But the sound of the police cars were so close, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Her small hand reached out and clutch onto the fabric of his jacket.
Almost giving a small tug.

"We'll just talk to them. Explain everything...I'm sure they'll understand."

[Jenna Scorn]

The cops had drawn their guns, and Calamity's mouth went dry. Her lips pressing tightly together as she slowly fallowed behind Hiroko, close to his heels.

Those maryjanes thudding against the sidewalk. But everything had happened so fast, and before she knew it Hiroko was hurling a car, and her mouth was falling. Jaw gaping open in amazement at such strength.

But those tazers were aimed, and fired upon Hiroko, and his body was sent into spasms. Calamity's body stiffened, her hands flying up to cover her mouth. Eyes were wide, and she'd scream out.

"Hiroko!!!!!!!!"

Her voice rang out, and echoed.
Her body shook, and tears threatened her eyes.

She'd swallow.
And as Hiroko tore those things from his body, tears would fall down those cheeks.

It was ahrd to move, hard to breath.
Her chest growing tighter by the minute.

the cops took off, and the clickof their shoes could be heard,.
Her blue eyes glanced up to watch them retreat, and she'd swallow hard.

"Fuck it. Lets go Calamity, I will have to deal with these guys later."

A deep breath.
Trying to regain herself.
Brushing a few strands of hair and taking suit behind him.

"Yes Mr.Katashi."

She'd run to his side.

Biting her lower lip.

[Jenna Scorn]

the thought of maybe the two of them could run off somewhere safe, had ended before it had even began. Sad really, because the two of them could have made it out of there, But that cop car bore down on the two of them, and Calamity's whole body would grow stiff again.

She neared him, peeking out form behind him as her hand would reach up to tug against his shirt sleeve. Strands of hair falling into her face, and those blue eyes looked worriedly at the cops.

"Hiroko?"


"Damn... Calamity. Get down behind that cop car and stay there. Shit just got heavy.."

She didn't want to leave his side, but she could tell that he had meant buisness, and she'd take a few steps away from him. Watching him closely, almost daring to stay by his side but soon she'd run off tot he safety of the cop car. Ducking behind it, drawing her knee's in close to her chest. Fingers gripping it, peering over the side to watch Hiroko.

"LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND!"


"Oh! Officer, please!!!! We mean no harm!!"

She shouted, those blue eyes peeking out, trying to plead with the cops. Eyes narrowing, fingers gripping the metal of the car as she screamed.

"I can calm him down!!! I swear it!! Just please, put your guns away!"

[Jenna Scorn]

The cops weren't listening, why would they?
As far as they were concerned she was the enemy, and maybe she was.
For tangling with the likes of Hiroko.
It was so hard to breath, and she was battling off a panic attack.
Fingers gripping the car tightly, her heart quickening.

"Not now..."

But she'd jump, the sound of gun shots whirled her back into reality.
And her heart almost sank deep into her lower belly, eyes dangerously looking form side to side to find Hiroko.

"DIE!"

Her eyes would find him, and he was almost..like another person. She didn't know this Hiroko, no, not at all.
Her chest tightened, but she'd pull away, taking a gasp of air trying to calm down.

This was unreal, absolutely unreal.
And right now, this couldn't be happening.
Not at all.

She closed her eyes tightly, wishing it was all just a dream.
Wishing, wishing.

And now a small tune would play, and her eyes would snap open. She'd stumble forward, grabbing at her cellphone and bringing it ot her ear.

"Moshi moshi?"
(hello?)

Licking her lower lip as she'd clutch on to the phone tightly.

"Okasan?!??!"
(mom??!??!)

She'd bite her lower lip, peeking over the car to take a look at Hiroko. The cops had taken fire upon him, and she'd scream out to him.

" Abunai!!!!!"
(Watch Out)

Now, she'd clutch the phone to herself yet again.

"Okasan? Hai...Hai!"
(mom? yes...yes.)

A nod of her head, turning back to watch Hiroko roll.

"Sayonara!!!!"
(good-bye)

And she'd shut her phone, tossing it back into her purse.
Now letting her eyes search for Hiroko again as she peeked out from behind the car.

"Hiroko?!"

[Mr. Kaar]

Now, Leon wasn't one to be, nosy. Hell he'd perfer not to mess with the cops, considering he'd been in jail a few times already. He looked in at the police gathering, and he scoffed. Wusses couldn't handle a single couple. He closed his eyes just letting it go... That was until he felt a familier weight. Yeah, it was very familier. Just after today would of been his second day training at 5X the natural gravity, though this wasn't exactly that high, it was still feelable. The blonde's eyes widened as he turned to make sure he was correct in his assumption.

"DIE!"

Leon tightened his gloves as his dark blue eyes became focused. He jumped into the frey over one of the cop cars and sent a punch that had been saving up energy for a while. The electrical discharge would be sent into the policeman as his legs would fold into the force, and his body becoming like a rag doll. The policeman would be sent crashing into the car adjesent to him, going almost half way through it, leaving an indentation of himself, glass shattering into the frey.

But this was also bad, as Hiroko had already caused them to be jumpy and very touchy, so two or three of them opened fire with no warning. Leon was barely able to duck down and roll under one of the cars to take cover on the other side. He hadn't even noticed the scratch one of the bullets made on his forehead from a ricochet. If his entrance wasn't a good distraction he wasn't sure what was.

[Jenna Scorn]

She felt so useless, felt her anger swelling up inside of her as she sat huddled against the car.

Those tears were swelling at her eyes, pushing, pleading to be set free. But she wouldn't allow it. Her hands fisted at her sides, strands of hair falling into her face.

"No..."

A whisper.
Her back straightening and she'd look up.
turning to look over the car.

she'd notice a blond haired boy joining in.
Odd, yes.
Maybe a friend of Hiroko's?

"I can't keep running away like this."

Another whisper spoken as she'd stand on her feet.
Ducking behind the car as she'd run.
Dashing to another tossed over car and peeking out.

"Fuckin pigs. I'm fine Calamity!"

"....Right."

Grumbled to herself, her eyes focusing on a few cops who were firing to at Hiroko.
And then those blue eyes settle don a lone cop, who had strayed off to the side.
Alone.

She'd dash towards him, and he'd been so focussed on firing at Hiroko he wouldn't notice her small form rushing at him.
till it was too late.
She dove right for him, those hands reaching out to him.

And the officer would fall to his back, his gun falling from his hands.
And Calamity who had stumbled upon him, would scatter for his gun and aim it upon him.

"Call them off!!!"

He'd look up at her.
That gun pointed straight for him.

"CALL THEM OFF!!!!"

And he was silent still.
And it would seem he was too afraid to speak.
Or maybe he just wouldn't.

Her heart was pounding.
Holding that gun in her hand, all felt so familiar.

His chest was heaving, and so was her's.
Tears pressing at her eyes, and finally falling down her face as she'd pull the trigger.
Firing right at the officer.


And his body had been stiff, and for a moment remained so...before falling limp against the cement.
A well placed bullet hole now decorated his forehead, and puddle of blood was forming on the cement.

Her breaths were quick, gun still grippe din her hands as she stared down at him.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon watched a tumbling car, and sure enough, there was no doubt. Only one man he knew here had that kind of power. Leons eye brows bent downward. And his teeth clenched at the show of force. Why? Pride. Hiroko was many things better than Leon and he wanted to be the best... No he used to want to be the best... Or does he still? Leon's eyes diverted down until he heard a voice, it was demanding and pure... It was a voice at a cross road.

"Call them off!!!"

Leon scooted safely to where he could see this happen. A girl with a cops gun, pointed at said cop. He moved in the direction. He watched the cop not respond, seemed he didn't believe she had it in her to pull the trigger. But the look in her eyes told Leon differently. He had seen that look many times before. Cocky idiots die because of that look. But also the pure rush of emotion and activity could set someone with that look off. Sure enough he waited too long to reply.

"CALL THEM OFF!!!!"

Leon didn't care if he got shot at this time as he got up and moved to where Calamity was. but it was too late, she fired and the cop dropped like a box of rocks thrown off a 4 story building. Leon stood maybe too close for comfurt and extended a hand, pretty sure she mite shoot him in the mess of emotion she was right now.

"Nice shot kid, lower the gun and keep it for safety. A cop is dead now, there is no way out of this besides to fight."

He used his firm voice to maybe get through whatever clouded thoughts she had right now, hopefulyl calming her enough to realize the truth now. There truely was nothing left besides to fight. A strey tracer round was sent wizzing past Leon's head. Missing, but the cut from before was now bleeding down the left side of his head, going into his eye. He barely reacted to the tracer round trying to focus on making eye contact with Calamity to make her understand as if he could through pure will power.

Though he was sure by now Hiroko was doing something kick ass. Almost made him sad he couldn't watch, and couldn't rival him.

[Jenna Scorn]

"Nice shot kid, lower the gun and keep it for safety. A cop is dead now, there is no way out of this besides to fight."

Looking to the side, noticing the same boy who had joined them earlier and now he was speaking to her. she couldn't help but let those hands slowly fall, still gripping the gun. Eyes target on him, and she almost thought of raising the gun, and taking aim at him.

But she wouldn't.
Not now.
She'd turn on her heels, those eyes glancing to the sdie to still watch him before noticing Hiroko.

And he had noticed her.

Would he be angry?
Most likely

But that didn't seem to bother her.
Not now.
Maybe later she'd understand what she had just down.

All that would matter right now was...well.
She wasn't sure.

Her right arm would raise, bringing the back of her palm against her face to wipe away at blood splattered upon her face.

Allowing her lips to part.

"Hiroko-san."

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon turned towards the sound of sirens. Seemed the girl was fine, and the creepy ass attacks Hiroko did scared them away. Leon raised an eye brow and figured the girl had something to say to Hiroko. The sirens where a bit off setting right now and blood going into his eye wasn't all that good of a feeling right now. Though he did keep his one good eye on Hiroko... The way he was moving, and how he handled those cops... It was off setting even to Leon. And hes been through some pretty bad stuff. So Hiroko had accomplished something tonight more than scaring th episs out of cops and racking up bad ass points.

"Tch, always ruining my fun."

Leon still kept a look on Hiroko, while his other one closed to keep the blood out. It made him feel uneasy because he didn't know the girl, WHO WAS HOLDING A GUN mind you. He would stay to see what was going on. He joined the party because it looked like fun, and well. With Hiroko being in all this, just didn't feel right to keep walking.

[Jenna Scorn]

She's watch Leon.
Those glittering blue eye's of her's stuck on him for another moment, before looking over her shoulder as Hiroko would come by.
Her heart fluttered, and she'd take a step towards him.
He was bleeding, he needed to be tended to.


Her grip on the gun faltered, but when Hiroko would dart forward.
The sirens of the oncoming cops blaring within her ears.
She'd grit her teeth, glancing tot he side.

"GET OUT OF THE STREET AND DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

She'd turn to the side, discreetly trying to hide the gun as the cops barreled down on the streets.
But of course, they were after Hiroko.
She was nothing compared to him.
