Riku's question caused an immediate change in Teresa. Her face paled, then reddened suddenly. Her eyes narrowed and she stood suddenly, standing in front of Riku with her fists clenched, as if she was angry. And for some reason she was.
"No!" She hissed, pale eyes holding a mess of emotions; surprise, anger, confusion. Then she paused, looking uncertain. A moment later her resolve hardened again, and she turned and stalked out of the room without another word.
She walked until she reached her own room, but didn't go in. Instead she simply leaned against the wall beside it, arms crossed. She closed her eyes with a frown. Why had Riku's question unhinged her like that? Get a grip, Reesa. She slapped both of her cheeks sharply, at the same time. The sudden pain was like a bucket of cold water dumped on her head, and she opened her eyes again, exhaling quietly.

Riku looked at Teresa and sighed. "mmh.. Something is off about her. I know she isn't telling me the whole truth.. I'll squeeze it out, one way or another. She isn't.. no.. she cant be like him.." Riku stood up quickly and ran to the dresser. He knocked it over and unhooked a latch in the back. he opened the small opening and took out a wrickled and fading piece of paper. He opened it and looked at it. The drawing Jake drew.. Teresa... It can't be.. No way... He.. no... Is that... that cant be why.... He collapsed onto the bed and held his hand to his mouth. Kyin skid across the floor and came to rest by Teresa's room. He looked at Teresa and closed his eyes. His arm bled and formed a pool of blood by his arm. His hair was caked with dry blood and his face contained a single bloody cut down his left eye. His body limp and his blood soaked clothes stuck to him. |

(( Whaaat. D8 Why is Riku so surprised. It is killing me. ))
It wasn't the sound of Kyin approaching that caused Teresa to open her eyes; it was the stench of blood. The smell knocked in to her full force and she gasped slightly, her eyes flying open to take in Kyin's condition.
The moment she saw him, a loud curse escaped her lips. "What the hell?" She gasped, her voice hoarse. "What happened?! Crap! Riku!" She dared to shout his name once, then turned back to Kyin. Her gaze flickered back and forth, checking to see that no one was there.
"Get in." She opened the door and wrapped one arm around him so that he could lean on her as he walked in. She immediately became covered in blood herself, but she couldn't bring herself to care. Not with Kyin like this.
"Sit." She growled, nodding at her bed still-messy bed. She glanced back at the door. Hurry, Riku.

((you'l figure that out soon. Hey, im out of town, so idk when i'll be able to get online again...)) Riku looked down at the picture and put it back in the hiding place. He locked it up and picked the dresser back up. He was overcom with a strong sense of pain. He ran out the door and noticed a few boys laughing. Kyin this and Kyin that was all he could make out. Without him there, Kyin was like a sitting duck for the gang of boys who were jealous of Kyin. They've been targeting him since we got here.. His looks.. His kiddish behavior that got him loved by girls.. No.. They... Fire burned in his soul and Riku walked over to them. He looked at them and then looked at the leader. "You.. You hurt Kyin.. His blood is all over you.." He saw as the boys started running for the outside. He ran after them and tackled them. "You better never hurt him again!" He punched the leader in the face and slammed him into the hall wall. He was pissed off and knew he could go killer any moment. He walked toward Teresa's room. Kyin looked at her. "Look, i've been a target for this group of boys.. I don't know why they want me. But i've been beat by them.. But, never this bad." He closed his eyes and held onto a necklace he was wearing. "Stupid bullet.. This thing.. I can't punch like I used to.. Don't you dare tell Riku about this.. Just keep me here until I can walk.. Just get me some bandages and stitching stuff. They won't give up.." He sat up and held his stomach. "Ow.. hell..." He looked at her. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this.. I 'm not this hidious.." He smiled.

Teresa shook her head, a smile spreading across her face. It wasn't happy or sad though. She was, quite frankly, really pissed off. She could feel rage boiling up inside her and threatening to overflow. An evil smile.
She was going to kill them.
"Kyin, first of all, I'm telling your brother about this. He can probably feel it anyway. You need treatment. Sorry bud."
She crossed her arms. "Secondly, those boys are about to get a taste of my fist. See you in a bit. Don't do anything... lethal." Which meant, Stay put or else.
She slipped out the door, and saw Riku approaching out of the corner of her eye. She jerked her thumb towards her door. "It's open. First aid kit's under my bed. I'm just off to break some bones and loosen some teeth." She couldn't hide the furious snarl in her voice.
She saw a bit of blood splatter on his arm, and raised her eyebrows. "Which way did they go?"

Kyin gulped. The anger in her voice was clear. He looked at the door and sighed. He smiled and looked at the first aid kit. He grabbed it and sat up. He cleaned his wounds and began to wrap them gently. He sighed and looked around. "This is really stupid.. I don't want to sit here.I'm so bored!!" He smiled and stood up. "Jake... Your crazy.." Riku looked at Teresa and smiled. "So, you really care about him. Anyways, you have to go through the seconds corridor and down the hallway.. THey were bleeding and can't really fight right now.." He looked at her again. "Now, go beat the crap out of them.." |

Teresa nodded, not even looking at him. She just walked by. "Of course." She murmured as she did. The words were pretty much a response to both comments of his; "So you really care about him" and "Go beat the crap out of them".
She took his directions swiftly, her hands clenching and unclenching at her sides. She'd been in a few fights, and had instructions when she was younger, but it had been a while. She didn't have time to worry about her own safety though. Those guys needed to get it through their heads that they couldn't so much as come near her friends. Ever.
She turned on the corner, and there they were. Despite what Riku had told her they looked pretty fight-ready. It looked as if one had a broken jaw. There was blood spattered around them on the floor, but man, did they look pissed off.
She crossed her arms, her face the embodiment of calmness, though her eyes held an icy- and powerful- fury.
"Ready to have your a.sses handed to you?" The words came out as a snarl.
The guys turned to look at her, then snickered when they saw their opponent was a thin, pale girl that barely reached their shoulders. Then they proceeded to ignore her.
Screw strike one and two. That, ignoring her, pretty much blew their chances of getting away unscatched. Strike three. You're out!
She ran at them, her feet tapping quickly along the cold, smooth floor. She jumped at the nearest one, higher than was average, grabbed the nearest guys head, and pushed it down slightly so that his back was bent. Still mid-jump, she landed, hard, on his back, then hopped nimbly off.
The push with both her feet and hand left the guy unbalanced, and he fell to the floor. Teresa smiled at his painful-sounding faceplant. As soon as she landed, she whipped out and elbow, smashing it in to the nearest enemy's nose. Blood speckled her arm.
"Crap." One of the guys wheezed. "Damn chick." There were just two left. Teresa grit her teeth and attacked them, throwing two punches in one guy's gut. He doubled over for a second, giving her time to deal with the second. She simply pushed him against the wall though, quite lightly.
He knew it was a warning though. Get out or you're next. He fled. A wise choice. Teresa tried to wipe the specks of blood from her face but only managed to smearing it further. She sighed and made her way back, slowly this time.

Kyin looked at Riku. "don't come near me. I know you felt it.. All the pain I did.. But listen, your not going to always feel it.. Just, let me fend for myself right now.. And I felt your pain. Getting knocked in the bullet wound and then throwing punches at the next guy you saw.." He smiled slightly. "Thank you tho.. i really don't know what to do.." He looked at himself in a broken mirror. He sighed. He was cut and bruised. His strikingly beautiful face was now stained with blood and black blotches that made up his bruises. He sighed and looked away. He was hideous. What would Jake say if he foudn out I was here... and looked like this.. Riku looked at Teresa as she walked away. He walked in. "Kyin.. It's her.. She's the one.. She will draw Jake back to us... She.. She's the one he drew. Like he said on the picture. 'Let her guide you and you will see the one you miss so dearly...' Don't you see Kyin.. We can get out of here if she helps. She can help us find ou brother.. And you shouldn't worry about what Jake would think if he saw you like this.. You were beat.. That's it.."

Teresa shoved the door open with her foot. It wasn't really a kick, much too soft for that. Just a nudge. Her arms hurt- it was only after a few seconds that she remembered one of the guys had tried to grab her. Quite hard, actually. His nails had dug in to her skin too, and she could see blood budding from the small scratches. Other than that, just bruises.
She walked in, a grim frown plastered on her face, though her ex
pression brightened when she saw Kyin and Riku. "You haven't pa.ssed out yet? I guess your wound's aren't as bad as I thought. Do you want some water?" Her hazel eyes were wide with relief, and adrenaline still pumped through her veins from the fight.

Kyin shook his head. "Nah. More importantly, are you okay?" He stood up and looked at his bloody shirt. "Man.. THat was my last clean one.. We gotta do laundry again, Riku.." He looked at Teresa. "Don't stay away from me just cuz I'm topless please. I don't liek it when people stay away for too long." He smiled when he saw her ex
pression had brightened. "You look pretty when you have that excited look on your face." He looked out the windowand sniffed the air. "Looks like they ran off. Blood is being tracked across the field.." He sighed. "Your a pretty good fighter then, aren't you?" He looked at teresa. Riku smiled. "You finally show your true colors Tera. Just, don't hurt yourself." He wiped the blood from her arm with some alcohol and gauze. He wrapped the cut gently, but securely. "Listen, why don't you stay in our room. Kyin got your bed dirty and we'll do laundry tomaro anyways." |

Teresa hesitated, then in response to his request sat down on her bed, so close to Kyin they were almost touching, though he was standing up. She averted her eyes, at least.
"I'm fine." She mumbled, glad she had fought the guys; her blush was hidden by the redness that came from the sudden, heart-pounding excersize.
Excited? She wondered, finally glancing up at Kyin with confusion. She blinked; she hadn't even noticed when her ex
pression had changed at the sight of Kyin.
"My parents taught me a bit when I was little. Just basics, like to use your elbow whenever you can. Stuff like that." She smiled. "I didn't actually ever use it though. Until now."
She winced as the alcohol seeped into the gashes, then relaxed slightly as the initial pain faded. "Hurt myself? It doesn't matter." She said offhandedly, though her brow furrowed, as if she was wondering why they were worried about her. "They'll know not to mess with me, because I fight back."
I hope. She thought. She didn't know if she would be able to handle many more, especially if they were the ones surprising her with an attack. The tables might just turn.
She didn't say anything though. She didn't care if she got hurt.
Teresa looked up at Riku. He was right about her staying in their room. With her sheets and matress bloodied, they would hardly be able to put it in the washing machine. People would be suspicious.
Unless I told them something that would totally embarra.ss them. Teresa thought, her face breaking out in a grin at the thought. Like, I got my period or something.
Not a lot of female staff worked at the orphanage. It would be funny, but...
"Okay." She said. "I'll just take my pillow, since it's clean." She tested the tightly wrapped gauze as she spoke, feeling the gashes- which were short but fairly deep- swelling up. Then she gave it a firm punch. The sooner she got used to the pain the happier she would be.

Kyin grabbed her hand as eh punched her wound. "Don't do that. Your wound will just swell into a scar. That's why we both hae our bullet scars. Pain to pain just makes the wound swell." He loked at her and let go of her hand. His bullet wound throbbed and he placed his hand on his shoulder. "You can take my bed. Riku and I have been sharing beds since we were little and just recently began sleeping in seprate beds. It's not the softest bed, but it's softer than alot of the ones here." He carried her and walked out the door. He noticed some blood splatered on teh wall. Not his blodd either. A familiar scent wafted into his system. "Their blood. Did you fight them here?" He looked at Teresa as he walked down teh corridor towards the boy's wing. Riku walked out and follwoed his brother. |

Teresa clapped a hand to her mouth to prevent the muffled yelp of surprise gathering up in her throat from escaping as Kyin picked her up, his arms somehow easily keeping her off the ground as he walked.
Then again, she wasn't the heaviest person in the world, being so short and slender.
"This again?" She said dryly once she gathered the will to speak. She was in a semi-awkward position, rested against Kyin, one hand holding on to his arm slightly, as if to prevent herself from falling. A natural instinct. "Why do you carry me all the time, anyway?" She asked with a slight smile. She couldn't even fathom as to what the answer would be. What, did she remind him of an abandoned kitten or something?
It was a serious question; she was genuinely curious. Ever since they had met Teresa had found herself randomly swept off the floor and hauled away by Kyin.

Kyin put her down at once and turned his head. Color left his usually bright face. Luckily, his black hair was hiding it. He began to mess with his thumbs a little and then was able to dryly say, "Just because. Your hurt right now, right? I've always carried Riku when he was hurt when we were little. He got tired easily from just walking down the street whenever he was hurt. And that's how I got this." He hand his left hand out to her. Across the palm, was a large, but almost invisible scar. "He collapsed in the street and i ran out to get him. The car swerved and the rear ended up hitting me. I was small, so i practically flew into a few guys carrying a double paned window... I got a huge piece stuck.. So, i carried him so none of us were ever hurt. I'm sorry if it bothered you." He quickly walked toward his room. His pace quickened from before and he clenched his hands into fists. Riku walked up to her. "You shouldn't ask him questions when he has a habit.. He tends to get upset and then he tries to fix everything. Getting rid of each habit. One by one. He won't pick you up. I bet he won't even touch you. His habits aren't bad, but everytime he gets asked 'why do you do this and why do you do that', he fixes the habit. Usually just getting rid of it." He looked at Teresa. "Listen, you don't know Kyin well, yet, but he has many many quirks. So, I'd be careful about what you ask him. Just don't bring up anything that has to do with habits or pain... He's got about a hundred scars, since the last time i counted... And they all have stories. Mostly my fault.. and our dad's.. But just be careful please. I don't want him clinging me to when we sleep tonight..." He took her wrist and gently pulled her with him as he walked after his brother.
