"Meow..." I feel a paw bat at my hand that is hanging over the edge of the bed. My eyes flutter open and I peer over the edge to see Little Ghost. He looks up at me expectantly. "Dammit, chibi," I mutter, wanting to just settle back into the warm body behind me. I sigh contentedly and turn a bit to peer at Jyn's sleeping face. My heart melts. He's so cute all bed ruffled. I giggle softly and give him a quick peck on the lips before gently extracting myself from him. My legs swing over the edge and I slip my feet into my furry pink slippers. Little Ghost mews again and I roll my eyes.

"Hai hai, Master," I grumble and get up from the bed. I shuffle out of the bedroom, grabbing my pink robe on the way. I slip into it and yawn as I walk into the kitchen. "News On." I say and the vid screen brings on the morning news. I listen idly to the stock exchange as I give Little Ghost his breakfast. Damn cat is spoiled as hell.

I move to the fridge and pull out things for making breakfast for Jyn and myself, yawning still. Shit.. First I need to make coffee. The news continues as I make coffee and then begin to make eggs and pancakes.

I smile as I remember yesterday with Jyn, but then I remember Jii-san and I frown. Yare yare.. I'm gonna have to ask Jyn soon about this. No point in hiding the fact that Div12 is looking at me. Though it is mostly Jii-san. Still.. My ideals are not the same as Div12. I wonder if I can truly work for them and not conflict with my own beliefs on this whole demon thing.

"And with the disappearance of the heiress of Kyro Corporation it is odd to see that the company is still doing so well..." the new anchor says and I turn to look at the screen and stick out my tongue. Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I'm not sending Kyouya the files I review. Honestly I think its the fact I can't let my father ruin the comany with his idiotacy. I shake my head and serve myself a cup of coffee and leave the rest in the pot for Jyn when he wakes up.

What the Morning Brings

Little Ghost stands before me in a windy grassy meadow at sunset. Fully dressed in a black kimono, I look across to him with my arms folded and my visage slightly tilted as I look down upon him. “So,” I break the silence between us, “it has come to this.” Little Ghost stands still for a moment before lifting a leg and licking the underside of his thigh. He lowers his head and uses his hind leg to scratch behind his ear before licking his foot, and then lowers it. Looking to me, he speaks in the voice of James Earl Jones, “you will see that I am 100 years stronger than you now.” Quickly, the cat comes, his body flying through the air towards me. I duck beneath the drop kick and turn as a katana forms in my hand. “Ya!” I emit as I slash downwards at the cat. Turning, it raises its paws, crossing them in an X and stopping the blade. I lift it back up and pivot as I slash horizontally. Time slows as he leans back and the blade barely misses him by whiskers. Time resumes as I step forwards chopping down, while he runs back and evades the slash, moving from left to right. He stops as his footing is gained and shifts the ground beneath his step. His body springs forwards with lightning speed as his paw stretches up and strikes my chin with flames emitting from it. My body arches back as I am stopped in my approach as the kitty yells, “shoooooryuuuuken!” My body back flips before I get back to my feet in time to see the kitty in a side stance with his palms held, one over the other at waist level with energy building between them. His palms stretch forwards and the energy is shot out with a “hadoooooken!” Frozen in fear, I am unable to move as a bright light encompasses my body like a passing train.

“No!…” I lean up in bed, breathing harshly. I look to the left and then to the right. Everything seemed calm and I was able to hear the sound of the television coming from the living room. I am able to smell the coffee in the air and hear the sound of eggs being prepared. It was breakfast time. With a sigh, my hand wipes up, brushing through my bangs as I rub my face before pulling the covers off of me and turning to the side, placing my feet to the floor. It was the morning after. Images of the previous night filter through my head as I remember in vivid detail what went down. Man… that was a good pizza. I didn’t know if things would be awkward between Shiori and I. I mean, it wasn’t like we spoke about being official again, but we did do it and it was good. Damn good. Hopefully breakfast would be as well, but then again, it always was. I stand up and walk to the bathroom to pee; as it is normally the first thing on every man’s agenda on waking up.

Little Ghost finish his meal and goes over to his window to lay in the sun like a lazy ass. I sip some coffee as I finish up breakfast and serve it on two plates. I set it on the table and set my coffee down and fetch Jyn's to set on the table. I wonder if he is awake yet. I move over to the bedroom and peek in. I blink as i see he is not in bed. I flick my eyes to the bathroom.

"Jyn hun. Breakfast!" I call to him and then turn and head back to the table, seating myself and my eyes flick to the vid screen. "Stock Exchange." I say and the channel changes. I pick up my coffee and I sip calmly as I read the morning numbers.

After walking a few steps, I make it into the ivory sanctuary. I walk past the medicine cabinet and sink and make my way to the toilet where I turn, face, pull down my pants, aim and fire. The sound of my liquid snake piercing the ivory lake reverberates inside of its bowl as my head leans back and my body releases a bit of tension that had built up over night. The sound of my roommate with benefits comes from the other room as she announces that breakfast was ready. “Thanks, I’ll be in there in a minute,” I respond to her. I finish trickling into the toilet, shake thrice, tuck and pull my pants back into place. With a sigh, I walk to the sink and turn on the water, allowing it to get warm. I lower my face and cup my hands beneath the faucet allowing it to full with water before bringing it to my face and rinsing my face. From there, I reach for a towel on the rack to the side and wipe my face. I proceed in brushing my teeth and rinsing before turning and walking out of the bathroom. Walking into the living room, I notice Shiori at the table with stocks on the TV. “Cartoons,” I say, changing the channel rudely before saying, “back” allowing it go back to the stock channel as I give a teasing look towards Shiori greeting, “good morning.”

"Hey!" I protest and then turn my head to look at an amused Jyn. I stick out my tongue. "Good morning to you also," I say and pick up a piece of toast and munch as the newest stocks are displayed. My eyes narrow. How in the hell did Janco Industries drop over five points in one night. Someone has an idiot on board their staff. I sigh. I should be relaxing and not doing what I would normally do in the kitchen of the Kyro Estate. I munch and swallow.

"Cartoons," I say and turn to my meal. I peer at Jyn, smiling a bit. "Ano.. Did you sleep well?" I ask him then spear some eggs with my fork and bring it to my mouth. Damn I'm hungry this morning.

What the Morning Brings

Making my way around the table, I take a seat adjacent to her and butt comes to cushion. I look before me to the breakfast that had been laid out for me. It looked delicious as always. My hand comes to a fork placed by the table and I pick it up before venturing into my food. A short grin almost comes to my lips as I answer, “I slept as well as I could with you sprawled all over the bed.” I begin into my food, eating at a healthy pace and pausing to ask routinely, “do you go into work today?” I myself had to start getting ready after breakfast so that I could go in. There were teams whose functionality depended on me as a sergeant and leadership figure within the Division. It was nice to sleep in every once and a while, but I would not be the type of person to make a habit of abusing my loose schedule. I figured I would probably meet up with McGrady today since he was my direct report, and fill him in with the progress made in various things thus far. Then again, there was that demon issue…

"Che.. I do not sprawl all over the bed.." I huff and sip my coffee. "Least I don't snore and murmur crap about firetrucks," I tease and begin to dig in on my pancakes. I munch happy. I love pancakes. Buttermilk with syrup. Mou! Its heaven. I look at him as the question comes and slight nod. I sort of had work. I tend to be an on call type. I make my own hours for them. It pays to be good at your job. But then I do love coffee.

I swallow whats in my mouth before speaking. "Yeah.. For a bit.." I pause. I need to approach the Div12 thing before things are left to gather dust. I rest my elbows on the table, picking up my coffee mug and idly watching cartoons.

"Ne.. Jyn.. What would you say if I used my slaying skills to make more of a difference?"

I didn’t mind her comment. It seemed like a comment that a woman would make. She couldn’t possibly understand the symbolism of the firetruck. With her answer, I continue to struggle to understand her schedule at work, but I figure it was working out for her and it wasn’t my business to pry into her work life. I press my fork into the syrup covered pancake as I cut off a triangular piece before stabbing it and bringing it to my mouth and chewing. Her question comes in and I look up slightly as she asks the question. I look back down at my plate and comment, “oh, so you’re back to doing that again?” I take a few more bites. It wasn’t really my place to tell her what she could and couldn’t do with her life. She wasn’t my child. I would be worried about her putting herself in danger, but I didn’t know if our commitment level was at the place where I could voice such an opinion. I continue, “you know they’re getting stronger now. I would hate to see you go up against the wrong demon. But you’ve lived this long without my say so. Do what you like…” I go back to eating my food a bit moody due to the nature of the question.

His answer has me sinking into my seat a bit. Great.. I upset him. I didn't mean to. Also I would have liked a 'No. You could get hurt and I care if you do' kind of answer. I sigh and take another sip of coffee, peeking over at him. I bet he wouldn't like if I mention Div12 when he seems still a bit bothered by what happened with himself. But.. I can only avoid them for so long. I see blonde hair flicker in my memories. Sanzon. Now that depresses me. He seemed like a descent being. But.. Now.. Well I not sure how I should look at the situation.

"Jii-san wants me to join Div12," I just let it spill from my lips and wince at the suddenness of it. I peek at him, worried I might upset him more. I set my coffee down. "But I wanted to know how you felt before I did and such.. Cause well.. Your opinion matters to me and I don't want you mad at me anymore because I really want us to be more than this and I really don't want to ruin the peace we have now but I want to help like you do but then again I don't want you angered at me and in turn ruining our chances of dating again..." I say this all in one breath and trail off. I bow my head, shoulder slumping. "Last night.. Meant alot to me Jyn.. And... I don't want to lose this happiness I feel. But.. I know my powers can make a difference.."

After I said it, I knew my response was a bit short, but I didn’t want to draw attention to my insensitivity by bringing it back up and apologizing for the gesture; plus I was a guy, I didn’t need to be able to express myself as it wasn’t, or should be, expected of me. Aside from that, staying alone for such a while kind of had me unskilled at intimate human interaction, but then again, I was never really good in various situations. I return to my eating, dismissing the conversation, figuring it was over before she speaks again. I look up at first, my gaze lifting piercingly at first. The first words that spill out were probably the worst. So, it would seem that this was the old man’s doing; he just couldn’t stay out of my personal life. I look to the side and then back down to my plate. Her following words eventually reach me, but I was not in the mood to accept them just yet. I turn my gaze to the side. Thinking over things, I just got over her and she came back now she’s throwing herself in the face of demons that are potentially able to destroy city blocks. It seemed to me that she had no regard for how worried I would be. She wasn’t there to experience the things I have; I felt her confidence naïve. My fuse was getting shorter with her for some reason I did not know and I seemed to be more easily upset lately. Standing up from an unfinished breakfast, I dismissively speak, “I have no objections.” With that, I make my way towards the bedroom stating, “I’ve got to get ready for work.”

The silence is stifling. I feel like a little kid again with my father finding out I got an 'A' instead of am 'A+'. I want to squirm in my chair, but I keep still. I can tell I've upset him. But he says nothing about it. I look up as his seat moves back and he leaves his food with a flippant answer to me. I get to my feet and follow.

"Jyn.. Babe.. I'm sorry. Please.. At least finish your breakfast before work," I apologize to him, damn near tears for the first time in ages. I didn't want to lose him. Working in Div12 I could be close to him. Help him. I wanted to help. But.. He doesn't want that. I can tell just by his answers. "Please.. Eat," I ask him, reaching out to grab his arm. "Jyn.. I'm sorry.."

A “tsk” emits as she stands to follow me, but the sound is more so to myself than at her. I felt bad for the way I was reacting, but I couldn’t stop myself from acting the way I was. I feel bad that I made her use that tone in protest for me walking away. “It’s fine,” I say trying to move on, “I’m not mad…” The words are a bit of a lie, but I would rather walk away from the topic than discuss it. My appetite had gone and I didn’t feel like sitting back down and eating after standing up and walking off. Right now I just wanted to drop the subject and do something else. Still, I didn’t want her to feel bad. I pause at the doorframe and ask, “I’m not hungry. Just… can you put my coffee in a travel mug for me? That should be all I need. I needed to get into work early anyways…” Moving back to the subject she didn’t bring up, I say, “…if you and him already talked about it, there’s really no need for my input, it’s not like we’re together.” After saying that, I immediately felt horrible but was too bullheaded to do anything about it or try to fix it.

The 'tsk' has me stopping before I even touch him. I recoil, bringing my hand to my chest and peering at his back. My heart is slowly twisting. Jyn... Jyn I'm sorry. I don't want you upset with me. All I want is to be with you. But.. I'm too scared to voice these things to you. I'm scared of you rejecting to me.

I find myself nodding as he asks me to put his coffee in a travel mug but then he says something that damn near stops my heart. My breath catches and I feel like I can't breath. I look at him, eyes wide and I'm just barely holding back my tears.

'It's not like we're together..'

It sounds in my head like an echoing gunshot. My mouth opens and closes several times, but no sound comes out. I then feel dirty. Like a slut. So last night meant nothing to him. I hug my form and bow my head. "You're right.." I whisper, not trusting myself to speak any louder. "I was being stupid.. I'll make your coffee.." I add just as gently, my voice threatening to break. I keep myself together, even if its just barely. I hug myself tighter and turn from him, shuffling back toward the kitchen, trying to keep myself in check until he leaves.

I pause after my words and my body shifts as I turn towards her who walks away. I see her retreat and she speaks softly; I could feel the pain in her voice. My heart wrenched for the pain that I knew I cause with my words; I didn’t mean my words the way they came out. I became frustrated because I didn’t know what to say to fix things and I felt that if I said anything else it would come out bad. The timing was horrible given what happened last night and the last thing that I wanted to do would be to have an argument after things started to get better between us. I look up and towards the doorway, then back towards Shiori who head into the kitchen. “I’m sorry…” I say softly as I lower my head before looking up and walking towards the bedroom.

My mind is a jumble of things. I hear father scolding me for being a disgrace. Blaming me for when mother died. My heart is twisting to the point that I can hardly breath. Shit. I'm having a panic attack. Calm down Shiori! I take a couple of breathes and stumble a bit in the kitchen. I want to break down and cry. I want Yume here to tell me it will be all right. To tell me its okay to love this guy. To tell me I'm not just a fuckin' slut who opened her legs for a man who does not seem to care about what we shared. Kami I feel like such a whore!

I hold my tears in check and get a mug. I shuffle back to the table and pick the ther plates, breakfast a waste. I then pluck up his undrunk coffee mug. I move back into the kitcen and set the dirty plates in the sink. Not even I want to eat anymore. I pour his coffee in his travel mug then seal it up. I move back to the table and set the mug down for him to see and gather the remaining plates.

I never knew this could hurt so bad. But.. I deserve it. It's always my fault. Father was right on that. I always cause problems where ever I go. I'm a burden. My brow furrows and I bow my head as I stand in front of the sink, tremble. I won't cry. Crying is for the weak minded. I turn on the tap, flipping it to hot and wait for it to heat. I then move in an almost robotic fashion as I start washing the dishes. I should have known. I don't deserve someone like Jyn.

After making it into the room, I proceed through the steps of getting ready for work. Standing before my closet, I dress and load up with the things I would need to take to work with me. I dress in a pair of black slacks, my boots, a black shirt with the top button undone, my holster, various accessories and a jacket. After getting dressed, I walk to the nightstand by the bed and pick up my phone. I open it between my hand and thumb seeing no missed calls and taking note of the time. I close the phone and place it into my pocket. Turning, I make my way back towards the living room and kitchen. By the time I make it into the next rooms, I notice Shiori doing the dishes. I look at her for a moment before turning my attention to the door way and speaking without looking at her, “I’ll be back late around my usual time… I didn’t mean that… all of what I said. I’m… frustrated about other things. I’m sorry…” My hand reaches up and to the counter as I take up my keys before finally lifting my gaze towards her.

Washing the dishes calms me a bit. Its the menial labor that distracts me from my own mind. I'm bad at destroying myself if I think too much on things. Repressed emtions or some crap... Whatever Kyouya said and it is not like I listen when he goes off on all that psychological mumbo jumbo.

I jump as Jyn's voice cuts through the dull buzz in my mind, nearly dropping a plate. I set it down and peer over at him. I shrug a bit. It was my fault. He doesn't need to apologize. I step out of the kitchen for a moment and pick up the trave mug. I gingerly step over to him and without looking up and nudge his free hand with the mug.

"Don't.. Forget your.. coffee.." I tell him quietly. I feel like I can't do anything right when it comes to being in an relationship. I'm horrible at it. I'm so use to being an independant woman that I tend to only think of my life and not another's. "I'll.. Leave dinner in the fridge.. For you.. I.. I'm gonna give you sometime alone. I must be such a burden in your way. I'll... umm.. I'll call Yume.. I can stay there.." I tell him, wanting to give him his space.

I watch as she walks around the counter and comes into the living room to hand me the coffee. My hand rises to accept the cup as she informs me of her decision. I take it to be my fault, and instead of her drifting away from me, I was pushing her away this time much like I did most of the people close to me in my life. There was a reason I lived alone with a cat for so long, but as a character flaw, it wasn’t something easily fixed. I nod and accept her answer as I agree, “if that’s what you’ve decided to do.” After a short pause I ask, “are you… sure about this?” Just trying to make up anything, I ask, “won’t that make it easier for your family to find you?” I didn’t actually want her to go, but I didn’t feel that I had the right to ask her to stay here.

I am glad he takes the coffee. At least he will have that to help him keep awake. I stand there, shifting from foot to foot and staring down at my fuzzy pink slippers. He then mentions my family and I go a bit still. Did it even matter anymore? Maybe he was taking pity on me and that's why he let me stay.. And last night was like payment... I mentally slap myself. Jyn is not that kind of guy.. Right?

I take a calming breath. I seem to be doing it alot lately. I fidgit for a moment before peeking at him. "Do you want me to stay?" I ask him. "I.. I really don't want to be a burden to you Jyn.. I only seem to cause you trouble and you get upset and.." I trail off and bow my head again, shoulders slumped. "And.. You've already stated your opinion on the fact we are not together.. So.. I guess it shouldn't matter if they find me if I got nothing left out here in the real world.." the words spill from my lips before I can stop them and I wrap my arms around myself.

"Its okay.. I'm use to this with guys.. I'm a fine piece of ass and then I'm just a pain in the ass.." I say, my voice nearly cracking with emotion. I know I'm gonna cry the moment he steps out. "You.. You should go.. I.. I don't want to be the reason you're late."

“I didn’t mean for it to come out like that,” I attempt to explain, “I was only stating that it wasn’t my place to say whether or not something was right in your life… that is all. I don’t want you to leave because of an argument like that… and I don’t want you to feel bad because of what happened. I… I knew that it might have been too early for me to do something like that, but I kind of pushed your into it. I’m sorry and I should have respected you a bit more and not have slept with you like that.” Taking a step forwards, I attempt to put an arm around her to hug her stating, “Don’t think me shallow enough to view you as a piece of ass. I’m not like that.”

Though I had gotten a hold on my tongue a bit better, I was still thinking about what the actual issue was. I didn’t want her escalating the amount of danger she exposed herself to. I didn’t actually mind her working at the Division, but something like a desk role or a smaller role would be better. Now wasn’t the time, so I make my mind to speak with McGrady about her assignment after I give him a piece of my mind. I set the goal to eventually speak with Shiori about helping out, but in a different aspect than being on the front lines.

He tries to explain himself and I want to lash out and call him an idiot and that I wouldn't care if he stated his goddamn opinion. I live with him for Kami's sake, even Yume would tell me if she didn't like something I was doing.

I flinch a bit as he embraces me, having not expected it. Finally the dam breaks.

"Baka!" I scream and hit his chest. "Baka. Baka. Baka. Baka!" I chant as I hit him repeated. "I wanted you to sleep with me, you moron!" I shout and lift my face to peer at him, tears silently sliding down my face. I am unable to stop them.

"Jyn. If I didn't want it.. Don't you think I could have kicked your ass over it? I'm a kendo champ. I could have killed you in your sleep if I was honestly upset about it. I was happy you baka. I've never wanted anyone like I want you. I want you in my life. I want your opinions and your concerns. I know I blew it by vanishing and I'm trying so hard to make it up to you. I want... I want.." I lower my face and sniffle a bit.

"I want to be your girlfriend again.." I tell him. "I want to try and have a relationship that is normal without my family involved. I just want to live a normal life with the guy who has never seen me as the Kyro Corp heiress.. But just as Shiori.. The coffee chick who loves war of the realms.."

Aha. Now I felt like an asshole. Around the time where I am being repeatedly beat on the chest while being called an idiot, I think to myself that I should frequent the library and browse through some books on social interaction with women. I was sure someone somewhere did some type of study on it. Still, I felt like a special consistency of shit as she pours her heart out to me. It wasn’t like the firm brown shit that float; it was more along the lines of the green, semi slimy anal vomit that immediately sinks as it is sprayed into the ivory porcelain lake.

I attempt to comfort her as best I can as she speaks to me. Through her words, I see how off my own words were. Still the ‘I could have killed you in your sleep’ was a bit on the ‘run, she’s crazy!’ side. Punching me in my sleep would be much better. I would wake up, not sure why I was hurting, but I would still be able to function. I listen to her wants and understand what I’ve known for some time now. She wouldn’t have come back to me if she didn’t want a relationship with me. I knew this and have been running away from that commitment because of my own feelings. With a sigh, I exhale and I hold her shoulders as I pull her back a bit and look into her face attempting sincere eye contact stating, “I understand your feelings. Don’t be sad. We’ll continue to work on things… I don’t mean to push you away. I’m still working on things within myself. We can talk about this a bit more when I get back from work. I don’t want you going through the day upset… I don’t want to ever be the reason to make you sad.”

Gah! I feel like a stupid teenager again by pulling this shit. I'm acting like the girls I would diss with Yume back in high school. I sniffle and wipe my tears away, feeling all silly and emotion. He pulls back and I look into his eyes, seeing that he is trying his best to be sincere. Men are always so bad at the emotional shit.. Unless they're gay. Then they have no problems.

I smile a bit and nod. I want to work on things and try and make it better. I want us to build on things. I lean in to give him a quick kiss on the lips, not giving a hint of my action. I then draw back, grinning sheepishly.

"I'll be okay. I think I'm just having my emotional part of the month..." I pause. "I'll make dinner and maybe just watch anime till you get home.." I then remember something. "Actually I'll go buy the War of the Realm movie. It's suppose to come out today," I say, cheering up quickly for him. "You should go before your late, babe," I tell him, lifting my hand to wipe the last of my tears away.

The kiss catches me off guard, but is not contested. As she pulls back, I feel that things might be okay for the time being. I feel a bit relieved that she decides to say and have dinner prepared for me when I got back. I had really become spoiled; between her and Izumi, I always had someone doing something for me. I had started getting used to it without even knowing. I offer a soft smile as I nod, “then that will be great. We can watch it tonight.” With a nod, I accept her words that I should head out before it was too late. I conclude with a “then I’ll see you later.” Turning towards the door, my hand comes to the handle and I open it. My body moves out of the house and I close the door behind me. From there I make my way downstairs and to the parking lot below where I get into and start my car. Hopefully it would be a good day at work. Rethinking things, I should have probably gotten some before work instead of arguing; that might have turned out better. Shaking my head at myself, I start the car and proceed in pulling off towards the street.

I return his smile. I need a shower to calm myself completely. Then work and shopping and I'll be good by the time dinner rolls around. I nod, happy he wants to watch the movie with me. "Ja," I reply and give him a wave as he leaves. When the door closes I slump a bit in relief. I sigh and lift a hand, rubbing my temple. Maybe I'm not cut out of relationships. I mean look at the household I was raised in. Not exactly love birds of the year anywhere in the Kyro Household. I rake my hand through my hair and Little Ghost winds around my legs. I smile and reach down, petting his head.

I'm about to turn to the bedroom to head to the bathroom for a shower when I see the travel mug on the hall table. I shake my head smiling. That man would forget his head if it wasn't on his shoulders. I peek at the time and nod as I make for the bedroom. After a shower I'll find a cute outfit, go to Moonbucks for a moment then head to Jyn's job and bring him some coffee. Try to act more on the role of the good girlfriend to help things. Hmm.. Maybe I could get a manicure while I was out.. Or better yet a mani and a pedi. I clap my hands in delight as I walk through the bedroom and into the bathroom. I'll just tell them I can't come into work, Ayaka will understand. A woman needs her pampering.

Humming I enter the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. "Yare yare.. A mud mask wouldn't hurt either," I comment to myself. I shrug. Right now a hot shower was in order. Hot water is my goddess.
