RPG: The Six Wizards

Yuta laid down the reciever after Inu hung up and proceeded to get dressed in some rather bland-looking muggle clothes. Old habits die hard, she thought to herself as she remembered weeks spent on the run, uncover in seas of unsuspecting muggles. Slipping her wand into her pocket, Yuta left the room, heading down to the breakfast room. There she found Inu waiting for her, a plate of food in front of him. Yuta acquired her own food and sat down in front of him. Muttering a quick spell to keep the muggles from hearing them, Yuta said to Inu, "We need to talk about keeping secrets."

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Inu took a long sip of a his cup of coffee. It was so delicious. They had never had it so good. He sighed. "I understand." He looked around. "I wouldn't trust me either." he smiled widely. "Shall we protect your secrets with un unbreakable vow? It's easily done. Neko can do it for us, because she doesn't know what you have told me." and with an afterthought he put two chocloate croissants onto a crisp white napkin to take up to Neko. Keeping secrets from her would be hard, so the unbreakable vow would be just the thing. Neko would understand, as long as she believed that it had nothing to do with Yuta and Inu betraying her. He smiled again, as much as he found Yuta to be attractive, he would never do that to Neko.

Yuta felt an inward sigh of relief. "Thank you," she told him, "to be honest, I thought you might be... difficult, about this... I am happy to be wrong."

Damien looked around at their hotel room. In one night, Ouki and him had spent 500,000 yen. Around twenty bags lay on the floor in front of him as he sat on the couch. 15 of them were filled with female clothing, which Damien never quite understood why women had to have so many clothes. The other five were his. One bag contained a camera, the type that one sees reporters use, with around 20 different lenses (he had confunded the salesman into lowering the price). In another bag, there was a BB gun, with two cases of ammo. Then the last three bags simply contained a bunch of little nick-nacks he loved to play with.

The sound of the shower stopping signified that Ouki was done showering.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ouki grabbed a towel and dried her hair. The black hair dye stained it a bit, but Ouki shrugged. That's what we're paying for, she thought. She walked over to the wall and pulled down a robe, which she wrapped herself in. Her waist length hair draped over her shoulders and down her back. She took the hair dryer from the wall and started blow drying her hair. It didn't take her long; her hair was long but it was fine. She took some hair product she had bought to tame how fine and whispy it was, and made it sleek and straight. Then she took off her robe and started to dress. She pulled a multicoloured dress off the back of the door; it was a spring dress, something from the new season collection. She giggled because it was just so sweet. The colours were bright and cheerful, something she never had the chance to wear. She usually wore jeans and shirts, but tonight, she was going to be girly. She pulled the dress over her head and it fell beautifully over her curves, just like in the shops. She didn't need much make up, so she simply powdered her cheeks and put on some lipgloss - her eyes were pale but she had naturally dark features that outlined them beautifully. She slipped on her shoes and walked out into the hotel room. Damien was playing with his camera. He looked up and stared for a long moment. Ouki felt herself blushing. "Do you like it?" she turned on the spot. Damien brought his camera up and snapped a photo.

[salemboy]

Putting aside the camera, Damien stood up. He was breathless, and was already starting to sweat. Trying to speak, he said, "Y-y-you... l-look... a-a-m-m-mazing-g."

Overtaken by his nerves, he looked down at the ground a shuffled his feet. He never was very good around women...

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ouki smiled. She was so impressed she could turn someone as strong willed as Damien into a pile of putty in her hands. She never thought of herself as beautiful, not like she thought Neko and Yuta were. She walked over to Damien and took his hands in hers. Her high heel shoes made it so she could look right into his face. "I'm hungry." she said simply.
"Oh! Wow, okay." Damien said, blinking his eyes and turning around as if he had just been released by a spell. He went for the phone and started to dial while looking at the menu. "Lobster sound good?" he asked, and smiled sheepishly. Ouki laughed.
"Lobsters my favourite." she smiled and went over to the television. She looked over her shoulder and caught a glimse of Damien watching her and completely ignoring the man on the other end of the phone who was calling out "Moshi moshi??? moshi moshi!!"

[salemboy]

It took Damien a few seconds to register the man on the other end. "Oh! Oh! Gomenasai! Gomenasai Watashi wa baka, desu. Gomenasai."

The man on the other end replied, "Daijyobu."

Damien turned away from Ouki so that he wouldn't be distracted again. "Eeto, Room Service Onegaishimasu." Damien heard the phone beep as he was patched into room service.

"Room Service," a female voice said over the phone.

"Seimosen, [forgot how to say lobster in Japanese] futatsu Lobster to futatsu Sake onegaishimasu."

The female voice came back saying, "Hai Hai. Chotomatekudasai. Jyu-pun."

"Arigato Gozaimasu. Sayonara." Damien hung up. Then he turned back to Ouki. "The food will be here in ten minutes."

[Note: Most of the Japanese was very basic and probably grammatically incorrect, but I really wanted to write in some Nihongo].

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ouki walked over with the listings for the in house movies and sat down next to Damien. "Do you see something you like?" she asked, and pointed to the movie list for that night. She looked up. Damien wasn't looking at the list.

[salemboy]

Damien looked into her eyes. They were beatiful, warm, and kind. Yet Damien could also see a deep pain. A long suffering in her. A sadness... "Ouki, you look beautiful." Damien said softly as he stroked a bang out of her eyes.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

*******************
Ouki lost track of time, and jumped when there was a knock at the door. She straightened her hair, and was glad she hadn't put on darker lipstick because Damien's face would have been covered in it. She laughed. "I'll get it, you stay there!" she dashed from the bed and opened the door. She pushed at her dress, she had been so reckless, jumping on Damien like that. She felt so happy, and she was having so much fun. The room serivice was roled in and the man took the lid off the tray, revealing the lobster they had ordered. "Ooo!" Ouki cooed. The man set up the table near the window and layed out the food. Damien stood up, composed himself, and gave the man a tip. Then he pulled out the chair for Ouki, and sat opposite her. Ouki reached across and helped herself to some lobster. "I really am hungry!" she said, as the shell fish cracked. She pulled the white meat out and took a bite. Delicious. Then she looked up at Damien. He was leaning on his hand, looking at her. She stopped eating. "What?" she asked.

[salemboy]

"Oh!" Damien realized that he was staring again. "Sorry, nothing nothing." He himself pulled off a piece of the lobster, said, "Itadakimasu," and began digging in. It was good. Lobster was always good. He really did like it.

When he cleaned his plate, he looked up to have another piece, just to see that is was all on Ouki's plate. She was grinning mischieviously. "Come get it if you want it."

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ouki laughed as Damien pounced for the food. The table overturned, and there was a mess everywhere. Damien grabbed Ouki around the waste, reaching around to try to pry the food out of her hand. They were both in hysterics, and both covered in lemon juice and wine, which they hadn't had the chance to drink. They sat on the floor, laughing. "I really liked this dress!" Ouki said between giggles. Damien layed back on the floor and Ouki jumped on him. "If you wanted the food so bad, all you had to do was ask!" and she held some meat up to Damien's lips. He bit it quickly. Ouki screamed in surprise. He sat up and picked her up with him.
"You need a bath." he said, and dragged Ouki into the bathroom, where he sat her on the sink bench while he leaned across to start the spa taps running. Ouki pushed at his hair. "You're a mess. " she stared into his eyes. "Damien, I want to know everything about you. I want to always be like this with you." Damien blinked, his smile faultered.

[salemboy]

Damien's face darkened... He slowly reached over and turned the tap off. "Ouki, not everything about me is fine and dandy. My life... has never been easy." He looked up into Ouki's eyes. "You have had your problems, and thankfully Inu was there to help you. But me... I had to figure everything out on my own. You see, I'm really not that Different from Inu, if you think about it."

Ouki looked at him, perplexed. "What-what do you mean by that? You two practically hate eachother."

Damien stood up. "Yeah, I know. We do hate eachother... in fact, I'd say that if it weren't for the others, we'd have killed eachother by now. But that doesn't change the fact we're almost exactly the same. Has he even told you very much about his past?"

Ouki shook her head. All she knew was that the group were his first friends. Damien got down right in front of her face. "Let me tell you, you don't want to know!!!" How he knew... even Inu got drunk and even Inu was susceptible to Veritaserum. He got in close to Ouki's ear. "My life is about as lovely as his. You don't want to know everything. The only thing you want to know is what you've seen of me. THAT'S IT!"

He could tell he was yelling. He didn't even know why. He looked at Ouki, she once again looked somewhat tearful. Damien shook his head. "I am so sorry..." Turning around, he left the room. Then he went into the main room, and sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Ouki sat for a moment. She turned to look at herself in the mirror. Her mouth was red and her hair was a mess. She pulled at it and wrapped it around her neck, trying to press it straight. Then she rubbed her face, and hopped off the bathroom bench. She wandered out of the bathroom and spotted Damien sitting on the couch. She stood there, and she felt something inside her snapping. She walked like a zombie over to one of her bags and pulled out a very sharp knife. Then she turned and called out to Damien. He looked up just as she held the knife up to her arm and cut it, causing blood to pour out. Damien stood up abruptly, but Ouki put the blade out defensively.

"I remember..." she said, watching Damien as she held the knife out at him. "How much I wanted to die from all the things I had done, and from all the things that had been done to me..." the cut was deep and blood was dripping loudly onto the floor. "And I messed myself up pretty bad, thinking that it was all wrong, but it wasn't me, baby, it wasn't me...it was them. So you know what I did?" her eyes were wild with nostalgia. "I left. After years of punishing myself, and putting up with the sick things they did to me... I walked out. " She looked at her arm and at her knife. "Damien, you're the only thing that has felt good to me my whole life. Since then, everything has been pain, constant hurt and pain, and it was exciting, it was a thrill, it made my blood boil.... And I thought I felt good. Please know that I cannot live without you and what you do for me. The only way back is this." she pointed to her arm, the blood was pooling around her. She blinked once, and then collapsed to the floor.
