R.o.y.a.l.

Kegan grinned, seeing Ash mak a slight effort, she'd actually half expected him to turn round and told her it logically wasn't a good idea, "Alright then, let's do this thing" She happily ran after him to keep up, looping round to look at him, "Ash, smile and enjoy yourself. For once don't follow the rule book follow the wind and do what you want to do." She told him, walking backwards to keep looking at him, before deciding that was too hard and spinning back round.

 

Ash stopped again in his step and stared at the ground. His pale eyes were blank. "Do...what I wan to do...?" Closing his eyes he stared into the darkness that were his mind. Darkness...is that all that's left of my memories...? Nothing but...darkness... Opening his eyes again, he continued on, slightly behind Kegan, "You forget who you're talking to. I cannot smile, I cannot enjoy myself. I simply cannot feel it. Following the rules is all that keeps me here. I'm sure I'd have done something drastic if I did not follow the rules."

 

Kegan's smile dropped a little as she heard that, though she did not imediatly turn so he could see it, "Oh." She wasn't sure for once what to say, she shook her head before turning back to Ash, "I'm sorry. I cannot imagine what that's like and I'm sorry if that was disrespectful. I just wanted you to feel good and be happy because everyone deserves that sometimes, especially you." She rubbed her neck, "Cling to those rules but be sure to make time for yourself. People care about you, I care about you, never forget that" She said, going fairly quiet.

 

Ash shrugged, "Don't waste your emotions on me. What matters is that I protect you as a Reaper and you do the best to your abilities. Emotion would get in the way of all that. If I cannot protect...the only thing I can do is destroy. I'm certain I'd feel like less than trash if I lowered myself to destroying everything I saw." He thought about her words and felt his curiosity pique. Though it did not last long. Ash glanced up at her as she fell silent. "Forgive me, I spoke out of turn. It is not my place to question what you believe is best for me and yourself. You are, after all, the one who has to fight the most. If you wish to care about me...and wish I would do the same....then your wish is my command." He wouldn't know how to uphold his end of the promise, but the word 'try' engraved itself into his head.

 

ooc - RA wasn't able to get on yesterday and is extremely sick today. Perhaps she will be on later today and will post then. Sorry everyone.

 

Leaving his room, Shiki walked down the hallway to the stairs. On the way to the stairs, he started to think about the rest of his new Cell. I really haven't talked to anybody in the new Cell, have I? Taking the stairs to the first floor, he could see two guys and girl discussing something. "What were their names again?" Shiki asked himself as he started to rub his forehead trying to remember their names. Hmmm... aren't they Rin, Zero, and Aiden? Overhearing the word "food" coming from somebody in the group, Shiki was instantly interested in what they were talking about since he hadn't eaten much during the train ride due to him sleeping for most of it. "So you guys are going out to eat?" asked Shiki as he walked up to them. "Mind if I tag along?"

 

Leo woke up alone in his bedroom.He pulled off some sheets and stood up.He mumbled then said to himself "Eh,where's Rin?".He quickly changed his clothes. Then he made his bed,twice,(He fell on it after making it the first time.).He stepped out of the room on the first floor and started to say "Rin?Where are you?" while slowly walking.

 

Kegan frowned, out of sight of Ash, that hadn't been exactly what she was going for. She wanted to do things because he wanted to not just do anything she said, that kind of defeated the point. But she could see she wasn't getting very far with this, so she simply turned to him, "Oh okay then...so where do you think following this girls will lead?" She asked attemting to change the subject.

 

Rhea's eyes grew wide as her mouth dropped open, seeing a way from the tunnel suddenly open. "What the..." She suddenly felt a hint of nervousness, beginning to think following Ivan might have been a bad idea. "What if this guy is against us or something?!" she questioned, turning towards Ruth.

"He doesn't seem like that though," Ruth answered, tilting her head slightly to see Ivan was standing there. "I think he knows we're following him since it looks like he's just standing there, waiting." She shifted slightly where she stood, placing a hand on her hip. "But I doubt he's a 'bad guy'. He probably would have done something by now." she added as she took a step forward.

Rhea's eyes narrowed, returning her attention towards Ivan. "Looks that way," she muttered, raising an eyebrow and taking a couple more steps forward. She looked over her shoulder towards Ruth when she heard her speak out once more, causing her to shake her head lightly at her partner's words. "You have a point there."

 

Rin heard her partner and looked around, seeing him a little ways off. She waved over at him slightly. "Hey, Leo." She said before seeing the over person walking towards their group. Shiki was it? "Of course you can. If you can, you should pay for your meal. Otherwise, I can pay for you as well, so long as you return the favor sometime in the future. Um, so should we see if anyone else is coming or just head out?"

 

"We should wait and see if any one will come!"He smiled at his partner."I'll pay for my meal.If its okay with you." He said softly,smiling.

 

"Hey guys." Ren said walking up to them. "What are you guys talking about."He said as his stomach slowly started growl.

 

Ash lifted a finger to silence his partner and listened to Ivan's words. He felt a dull smile creep onto his lips. "I wouldn't know where he's going. I've never been here before." he whispered to Kegan and took her hand, pulling her up beside the other girls where they'd stopped. His white hair stood out among the others. "Actually, we were wondering where you were going. You seem to be making quite an effort to keep this quiet." His pale eyes bore holes into Ivan.

 

Rhea opened her mouth to speak, but stopped herself when she heard Ash's voice close by. She turned her head to look at him and Kegan, surprised to they caught up to them. "Well," she quietly said, returning her attention back towards Ivan. "I don't know about these two but Ruth and I figured you know something interesting about this place so we decided to follow." She took a couple steps forward and crossed her arms, her eyes momentarily gazing towards the opening. "And by the looks of it, I think we made a good decision in following you."

 

Ash let a fake smile fill his face, "Well, I'm not about to take your suggestion." His eyes drifted closed and he could hear the cheers from the other side of that door. "Ivan...I think we're more than capable of handling ourselves. We're young but maybe this is what we need to make ourself experienced." Ash sighed and pulled Kegan closer to Ivan and the door.

 

Kegan looked at Ash with respect, this was new and she hadn't expected it but she wasn't about to complain. He seemed to have a sense of power now. She moved with him as he pulled her and she nodded slowly and firmly at Ivan to back up what her partner said. Though for once she didn't speak, she wasn't as confident in this situation but she was not about to let that show and ruin their chances of Ivan showing them whatever it was. She was afraid that if she spoke, it would show her nerves and spoil it. Her usual curiousity was brimming to know what was behind that mysterious door.

 

"Yes, after all, paying for everyone would of been kind of diffcult..." She said lowly before turning towards Ren. "We are going out. Judging by the growl of your stomach, you are hungry as well. Would you like to come with us then?"

ooc - Still kind of sick so sorry for not posting and doing so poorly when I finally get to it... Who else needs to post? Cause I really would like to get on with this.
