Cappuccino

[shade]

Shade sat in the corner her filthy boots on the table beside her steaming cup of coffie. Shade once more has a large book open in her lap and she is now on the 1005 page. Her hat askew, Shade reaches forward for a sip of her coffie before flipping the page. Oh the sweet dismal darkness of the bite cafe with it's coffie smell and seductive waitresses, Rue the day would certainly fit in well here. Shade's dark brown eyes swept over her surrondings once more taking in the small amount of custimers before returning to her book once more which, for once, had become slightly boring. Her dark and severly tangled hair fell down once more in her face while her eyes had wandered to a small candle on her table and were whaching the flame intently.

[RuetheDay]

Heavily sighing in aggravation Rue wiped off her hands on a stray rag, tossing scarlet strands of hair out of her face still panting a bit from exertion. She was indefinitely not meant for working. Why did she even bother with this worthless job at the bite cafe? Well, the uniforms were kinda cute in the scantly clad manor Rue liked best. Rue digresses. She needed money for food and necessities such as... Random crap to buy. Having amnesia sucks. Waking up with only a name sucks. Having no one to yell at in order to send funds sucks. It just sucks.

Practically collapsing into a chair she dumped her tip onto the table counting it up carefully, she got more dough worth tips then actual salary. She did not know why. She had theories but she was too tired to test them. After counting out $31.27 from her tip money she chucked it all in her purse blinking her eyes tiredly as she scanned the room. To her surprise, finding a familiar face. Shade.

Her business with Shade was done in the least but she was sure there was still much to be disguised on the other's end... but Rue was never one to chase; she waited for things to come to her, bring them to comfort, find their weaknesses, gain their trust, crush and destroy. One after another things always lined up before her, the cycle never ends. She had picked it up from Rei but alas, perhaps the second persona did have some smarts.

You truly underestimate me sometimes, Rue... You could gain much from cooperating with me. I may even lend you what you have forgotten of your past... Rei replied solemnly.
It comes at price indefinitely, so what's the catch?
The eruption of Rei's psychotic laughter merely made things all the worse as Rue knew exactly what that meant.
You sick monster... Rue shot scathingly.

[shade]

Shade looked up and smirked. Here was the ever so wondeful and seductive Rue the day. Shade was amused by the sigh that she heard escape Rue every time she had to clean a table. Shade knocked her boots together a couple of times to ensure that there was a good amount of dirt on the polished table. Shade seeking to amuse herself slightly more leened forward and set her book on the table before calling. "WAITRESS.......My coffie has gone cold and could use some more cream" she said in a comanding and slightly mocking tone to Rue when she had walked over. Shade seeing the large amoungt of tips that Rue had been collecting Shade planned to leave only a simple silver coin that was not even used for currency any more.

[RuetheDay]

Looking up with a smirk and an aggravated sigh, Rue glanced in the direction of the call, thinking of all the terrible sadistic things she might do to the voice's owner. Perhaps cut them into tiny unrecognizable pieces and have them suffer through it, still alive, no sedatives. Rue and Rei both inwardly laughed, ah, the few things she could remember of recently. Good stuff.

She turned flipping her hair as she glared in their general direction. Ah, if it wasn't Shade. Her strategy always works, does it not? "My bloody shift's over... get another some other slut. Rue is busy." Yeah, she addressed the rest of her fellow waitresses as sluts. They were.

Bending over on to the table revealing their breasts, sitting in drunkard's laps, just all around behavior that spelled out W-H-O-R-E... Rue didn't have to bother, she didn't have to try. She got more tips without making a fool of herself. She was five time prettier and she knew it. Her boobs were big enough that she needn't display them in order for them to be noticed.

Through, it was quite the unfair comparison, they weren't blessed with the pure seductively and all around charm that parred well with her good looks. Too bad. Blame the gene pool. They can always go get surgery if they're that insecure. Hell, some of them probably did.

"Too be honest, I don't like your tone either. I wait whom I choose. I don't necessarily need this job." Lies. Oh well.

[shade]

Shade smiled to herself, she had excprected such a thing. Rue may be so seductivly sweet to both male and female but to Shade she just looked silly. It wasn't that hard to figure out what she was thinking either Shade could tell just by how big her smile got and how much she sighed. Shade shrugged and sipped her perfectly warm coffie thinking of ways to have simple innocent fun with Rue only to embaress her.

Oh sweet memories of those long days with her brouthers when she had practicly tortured them with her embarressing comments but at least they had the decentsy to laugh along with the joke, Rue just made her more determined to some how emabaress her. Maybye one day but for now this was somthing to write home about to get some good ideas from her missed siblings.

Shade sat her book down and pulled out a pen and servral sheets of paper unfourtunitly dropping servral crude sketches of Jake and Josh. Shade scrambled to pick them up not wanting them to get stepped on or have some sort of drink tipped over on them. Shade kneeled on the floor gathering her pictures. She adjusted her postition tripping Rue as she walked by. Shade could barly surpress her laughter as Rue sprawled on the ground.

[RuetheDay]

Now lying on the ground as red as her hair, Rue pulled herself to her knees with a scowl and a slight growl as her eyes flashed scarlet red. Who the hell did this girl think she was? Rue was Rue. You did not mess with Rue... Well, unless you had a death wish or truly wanted to be her next victim whom would suffer of severe lacerations and possible rape. If they were lucky, they might be spared and kept as toys for her amusement, controlled by their fear. If not, you get the picture.

Even I am ****ed now. Rei growled just as angrily as Rue. Take her down!
Patience, Rei. I have a plan.

"Aren't we a bit beyond playground bully tactics by now?" Rue replied smoothly as she rose gently in her seductive manor to her full height, flipping her blood red hair. "To still be doing so, you must truly be in a complete and undeniable lack of general class... But judging by the demeanor of most of your actions, that is to be expected, so it seems. What a pity... And if we have something to settle, can it not be done so with words? Or perhaps your beast-like nature have over-ruled that of the civilized human?" Rue smirked as she said in her false sweet acidic tone. Shade was truly testing her this time... but she had no idea what she was getting in to.

[shade]

Shade smiled at Rue's tone and sat up. She finished picking up her drawings while every once in a while glancing at Rue's murderous face.When she was finished picking up her things from the crumb littered floor, Shade stood up and shuved her things into her bag one by one, taking a sip of her coffie between every five papers. Shade glanced again down at Rue's eyes smirking at her glare. Shade pulled her bag off the old wooden table and slid it onto the back of her chair before walking up to Rue her hands now free. "It was just an accadent" Shade didnt believe any of the things Rue had said and didnt take any of it personal, she thought Rue was all talk and seductive manor with a clever brain hidden under her flaming hair. Shade looked into Rue's eyes and as Brown met grey Shade decided to try her best to get past the bark and ignore the bite simply to get to the tame dog.

[RuetheDay]

Glaring up at her, she wondered why Shade's gaze softened. Was she giving up? Did Rue win? No, it was never that easy. She stared into her rivals eyes, her gray eyes flashing blood red, her pupils becoming slits. Something about how neutral this girl had suddenly become ****ed her off all the more. Scowling, Rue shoved her moneys into her pocket. Before tossing her hair and turning in the other direction. "I will be taking my leave unless you have so actual business with me. And there are no accidents, everything happens for a reason. As a psychic, you learn that. You normal kinds seem to have trouble understanding that." She was making a big deal of nothing but she didn't care.

[shade]

Shade smiled. Rue still suspected her of a devious plan that Shade would never be able to carry out let alone think of.
She is the most clever girl I have ever met but still the most stupid. I wonder why she is like that........There is always a reason.......well never mind it's not my buisness and I have grown tired of her.........

Shade collected her bag and started for the door breazing past Rue as she went the tiny bells that she had added to her bag since the last tim she and Rue had mt jingled in protest to their bouncy ride as Shade pushed open the door and took in the cool twilight air. She stood there for a few minutes just to take in the sight of the sun setting and the smell of fresh rain before she started down the path towards the dorms. "good bye for now Rue and maybye we will accadently meet again." Shade said the word just to conterdict Rue one last time.

[RuetheDay]

Rue growled, her cat ears revealing as she lost it. Her skin fell quickly revealing her true form as a sleek nekomata, the same blood red with black tipped ears and tail... She ran strait after her on all fours, as Shade opened the door pouncing her, pinning her to the ground, hissing. "Only I play with pretty little words, Shade and more importantly, I always get the last word. Always. I may have lost everything but not that."Her cat like features bristled her fur raising on end in annoyance as she dug her nail into Shade's coat, continuing her hiss. "How is it you have such nerve? Not just with that but with everything. I want answers. You simply must know something."

The other customers in the Bite Cafe stood and stared, with luck no one knew it was Rue. She was off shift anyhow. She growled her eyes still looking threateningly into Shade's, her nose almost touching hers, she could feel the girl's heart skip a beat as well as the pang of fear that the surprise brought but no more would come after that she was sure. Though she still waited atop this rival for an answer. Any reaction. Anything at all.

[shade]

Shade smiled in a terribal way, more of evil smirk than a smile. Then it happened a large force pushed Rue of Shade. Dust had begun to rise and from it lopped a giant black wolf with silver eyes. Blood dripped from the wolf's mouth indicating that it might have just eaten somthing. Shade growled in a menacing voice as the wolf who was now almost twice the size of Rue. "Don't you ever touch me again!" it growled now only two feet away from Rue. The wolf advanced slowly on it's prey. "I always liked cat for dinner" the muzzle on the wolf moved only slightly into a sly grin as she still advanced slowly it's sliver tipped tail swishing back and forth.

Now the bistanders in the bar including the waitresses were screaming and running for the door. SHade didn't care if they knew what she was.

"Be carful cat I'm not the only one in the school that would enjoy some nice meat. HAve you ever me David?" At this Shade laughed a cold bone chilling laugh. Her voic seemed to echo of nothing for the muzzle barly moved. Now the wolf was nearly nose to nose once more with Rue who had been blasted into the wall of the cafe.

[RuetheDay]

Her red cat eyes glinted mischeviously, her muzzle upturned it the closest a cats could get to a smirk. "Oh, I'm sooo afraid." Her voice filtered out reaking the upmost sarcasm as she brought herself to her hind legs, standing on them as the nekomata were so well known to do. "And honestly, the one whom has the most to worry about would be you."

Rue was completely oblivious to the surrounding screams, the escaping customers, the choatic scene around them. She was waiting as her prey made its next move. She was amused by this reaction, it was exactly as she'd forseen. It was fun to be psychic; you had back of for the claims "I'm always prepared" and "I'm always right". Rue licked her paw and rubbed above her mouth with it, cleaning the dust from her muzzle idly. She still had blood stain from the last fight.

"Besides, I would wish not to plague these innocents with the un-dead. I have merely just let them return to their slumber..." She laughed and tiny evil laugh. "They would not be too fond of that. They've merely just laid back to rest." Her eyes returned gray as she continued in her flirty nature to smile in that seductive manor, leaning up against a table just as she would in human form. Even as a nekomata she was still as alurring to both sexes. And she knew it. Just why Shade didn't seem to be attracted made not a bit of sense. Like she cared. It didn't matter in the least to Rue. What mattered is that by the end of this Shade learned a bit of a lesson about ****ing off Rue the Day.

[shade]

Shade narrowed her eyes and thought before fighting, this was one of the first times she ever had.

Rue was talking about the undead, probibly zombies which was kinda cool. I have underestimated her to much it would be smarter to leave and it would probibly be suicidel for both her and David if she called him but it would be so much fun to be able to attack somthing again and David would actualy attack being that thier opponents were already dead.

Good God I hate her! she is so full of herself and rightfully so!

The wolf backed away from the cat and let out a blood curdling howl making the blood dripping from it's jaw dripp as it's head shook. The wolf took a wide stance and began to stare down the cat.

Why can't there be an easy meal around this school?

[RuetheDay]

A grin grew across the cats blood red muzzle, her fangs protruding a bit, her eyes merely becoming more playful as she shoved back the table, a set of silver wear hit the floor with a clang. Rue's eyes showed a hint of insanity as she lifted a steak knife from the floor making a clean slice across her paw, gripping it over the floor she said with a smile. "You've chosen your fate, Shade. And I will give you a bit of insight: It's not a good one, or so the outcome has been forseen."

The blood landed on the wood floor with six small drips as she drew out the summoning circle, the ancient symbols drawn in the blood of her her paw were spot on and very well practiced. She sat in the middle of the circle, the red of her coat just as bright as that on the floor her pupils becoming complete slits returning to their unnatural scarlet.

"Dieviete tâlu realms, lûdzu, pieòemiet manu pazemîgs upuri, var jûs uzklausît manu iebildi. Pateicîgs kalps jûsu neizbçgama labâ. Es izsaukt vienreiz dzîves, miruðo armiju, lai tâlâk robeþas nâves jûsu lielo karavîri. No savas zemes ðûpuïi, var tos atkal palielinâsies. Es pamats to atbalstam, un turklât savu mûþîgo norâdîjumus, jo ar no tâ es bûtu zaudçjis. Es acknowlege, un centîsies, lai saglabâtu jûsu apstiprinâjumu." Rue closed her eyes as she hailed the Goddess, her plea being known... And seconds later, answered.

The cold, spine chilling fog closed into the tavern from what seemed nowhere, surrounding its outsides as well blinding all but Rue, the hazy smoke cleared with the crackles of the old sturdy wood floors busted. From beneath the grounds, the carcasses of hundreds of warriors burst up through the Bite Cafe's plank flooring, others surrounded that of the exterior, fighting their way inside, the cold air carried their whisper. Rue rose to her feet, half hidden by the smoky inside of the tavern. It was all show unless Shade attacked, then all hell would break out of course. Literally.

The lone blood red nekomata stood staring through at her prey. The slyest of smiles across her petite features.

[david]

Responding to Shade's howl, a long furry, black and sliver creature came bounding up behind the cafe without being noticed and barrol rolled through the nearest window landing ruffly ontop of the blood red cat. The long waist high creature bit down hard on Rue's blood stained coat her neck and dug it's razor sharp silver claws into her back and waist. With a firm grip on Rue with his claws and teeth David let go quickly of her neck and gripped her scruff with his teeth. Crimson blood was now dripping from the places were DAvid had grabbed her and he muffled "Call them off".
