The pirate put his hands on his hip and huffed as if indignation. Truth be told, he was impressed, maybe even a little terrified. It wasn't the fact the kid took that much of a beating, but the fact he seemed so casual about it, as if he didn't mind it at all. No, his smile was more like a kid who had been enjoying himself the whole time.

"Hmph. Of course I'm good, I wouldn't be a captain if I could do any less." He pouted. "And I don't think going all out right now is going to be such a bright idea. I don't know how much juice you've got in you, but it'd be pretty bad if I ran dry before we even got started. I'm the sort of guy who can't help but burn everything around me once the leash is out."

He sighed and shook his head. This boy was pretty hopeless, but he guessed that was the reason he took a liking to him in the first place.

"Well, I guess we're birds of a feather when it comes to that. You pass, not that I expected any less from ya. So, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? We have some time left to plan our move before getting started."

(For convenience sake, the fight against riku was moved to another location, like a park further away from the murder scene. It was hard and tough, but eventually both got tired of it and decided to call it quits for the day.)

Night time had come by now, and the pale moonlight reflected brightly on the vampire's white skin.

"Whelp. That was nice." She said with a casual grin. "I haven't gotten to stretch my arms backwards like that in a pre~tty long time. I'm glad yo have met you, yknow? Makes murdering feel a bit less lonely."

The girl was walking around, feeling a bit gloom after what happened. Eventually, she got tired and sat on a bench to rest, feeling an uncomfortable rumble in her stomach. Even she would get hungry after everything that happened.

Something sweet would be nice.

Suddenly, she felt something press on her head."E-eh?" She yelped, almost falling off the bench. Huh, she was caught off guard, did something just jump on her? How rude! She grabbed the small animal on her head and brought it to her attention, not noticing the two people coming for the little thing.

"Aw, you're adorable!" She said with a faint smile.

Clever kid, now all three came for him. Seriosly, what a bother, its like he was asking him to take his life. Heh. Then again, neither had a life to be taken, now did they?

Normally, he would be cornered and skewered by all sides. It was logical, the sort of outcome you’d expect from any man.

To hell with that, as if he’d lose to a couple of half assed toys. With a sudden spin, he kicked Coppelius into the bladed puppet's chest only to strike the other two with his flaming fists in the face

Tch, he’s pretty crafty. He thought he leapt with beast-like agility, his fiery hands immediately landing on one of the doll’s heads, enabling him to flip out of the way and deliver a swift kick at Coppelius’s face in order to propel himself out of the puppets ranges.

Red frowned. She wouldn't have another chance, maybe they would hurt more people in the future. She should get rid of them before that happened, at least, her guts told her that. But when she saw her eyes, the way liquid kept streaming down her face, she lost that resolve.

In the end, she couldn't save anyone. Nothing had changed.  She looked down sadly and simply left.

"Hmph." He huffed in indignation before flawlessly cutting down the vegetables, mixing them up and seasoning them with a drizzle of vinaigrette. Once that was done, he took the potatoes and began to peel them with his knife, shedding their starchy skin and exposing their bare vessels to the truths of the world one by one.

"Say, Lady Sakura, I'd like to inquire on something. I heard you deal with estates, is that correct?"

The skeleton could almost feel a shiver run down his spine. Incredible. It's almost like he's actually trying to kill me...

He chuckled and brandished his blade in an instant, slashing steel over the soll's shoulder and nearly cleaving it off with a swift strike while dodging the doll's before  piercing it all over with a deadly flurry, kicking it away with a final kick. "I see. But it's a captain's job to deal with such insubordination!" He declared in response, pointing his sword at the puppet with the same cocky grin.

"I don't have much time or energy to spare before the heist, so do try to keep the interview brief." He added, and with that he burst in motion faster than before, propelling himself even faster thanks to a burst of fire that left a trail behind him.

"Eh?"

The skeleton immediately reacted the the blurs dashing for him and jumped out of the way. He was circled, so going around would be a bad move, which was why he had tried to leap over the attack.

"Woah woah woah woah! Are you an idiot or something? Don't attack me! These trees aren't just standing around for nothing."

Suddenly, he heard a rumbling shaking. Instinctively, he dodged to the side and avoided the shattered tree, avoiding a crushing defeat. "Tch. Well, good job. It's kinda amazing I must say, never thought I'd ever see a puppet puppeteering other puppets. The more you know." The skeleton sighed and put a hand on his hip.

"S'that all though?"

"Yes. And even my parents were civilized enough to understand the importance of fresh vegetables, which is more than I can say for some savages I've had the pleasure of knowing. Besides, you've asked me to prepare the meal without the slightest instruction or direction, is playing with one's thumbs a new head chef's practice nowadays? " He said coldly.

At that moment, he was staring into her eyes with a glare that seemed to shoot lightning and a terrifying and menacing aura that dwarfed the terrifying and menacing aura that dwarfed his terrifying and menacing aura. If someone didn't stop them soon, there might just be a very different kind of meat being served for dinner.

Alternatively, you could grab the popcorn.

The young girl gulped and looked down, fiddling with her fingers in a sad, nervous manner. The man's voice almost made her jump, but it didn't help against the feelings that shook her.

"I... I don't know. I don't know how." She muttered. She didn't really know how to do much, or anything at all. Aside breaking things, she wasn't really good at anything, so she at least tried to help people by breaking things that hurt them. Usually, if someone could smile, it would be enough to help her smile. But how could she smile after something like this?

"It's fine if you hate me."  She finally added, talking to the girl sadly. "I hate me too. But he is hurting, what should we do?"

"Is this backtalk I hear?" He spoke up, and for the first time he sounded truly, terrifyingly menacing. It might not be apparent, but one could easily visualize himself on the table from the way he was expertly chopping the vegetables. "I think that was backtalk. Quite bold, in fact. Quite foolish as well. It is your duty to offer me the ingredients so I may prepare them. This is nothing more than a basic salad, an appetizer if you may." He said as he mixed and turned the different vegetables in a bowl, then chopped turnips in the bowl.

The girl's eyes flared, the enemy turned to smoke and vanished like air only to come back to the fat man. They talked for a moment, it would've been easy to attack her again then. But she didn't, or rather, she couldn't. Her rage slowly slipped back and she looked at the two with confusion. She had hit him because he was a bad guy, she had only wanted to break him. She didn't want to kill him.

And yet, why wasn't he moving anymore? Why did it look like he was dead after so little? He was a murderer, so why did her chest hurt so much when she saw what she had done? Beating an enemy should make her feel good, so why wasn't she smiling?

It's your fault.

The shimmering stopped and vanished, the color of her skin slowly faded into the sickly paper white color it usually wore.

"Why?" She asked the girl sadly. "Why did you have to do this? I didn't want it, I didn't want to kill anyone. I..."

She looked at the man's face, then at the other man, and she realized that the murderer wasn't him or anyone else. It was her.

The warrior sighed and just looked over the kitchen. Orderly appliances, spices, and both spacious and neat enough to work with. He opened the fridge and looked for the vegetables, took whatever green he could find, a knife, and started cutting and dicing them. First the carrots, then the celery and finally... the onions.

But the way his hands and movements seemed to flow from one stance to another, the way his blade would come down gently yet cleave the ingredients without fail...

It was like witnessing a god of cooking working in his pantheon.

"What meats do we have?" He asked her with about as much worry as you'd normally worry about an ant crawling on your shoe.

The girl glared at the woman, her eyes turning wide and her head tilting to the side.The air shimmered and distorted around them, for a second you might catch a glimpse of a clawed hand floating behind the girl's hair.

"Then you are responsible for what they've done." She said flatly, but there was no mistaking the emotion in her eyes. She sent the entirety of her branches at her to tear her apart limb from limb.

She crushed the enemy again, and again, and again. Whether he broke or not was irrelevant, she'd just wail down on him until she was satisfied, until her heart stopped aching and her brain stopped trembling.

But just as she was about to deliver a final blow, her branch stopped in mid air. She had just felt it, someone else had come. The door had opened, and her voice, her orders were clear. Her rage was unlike anything in the world, but despite even that, she stopped and turned to face the newcomer.

Strong.

The bear-like man wasn't so lucky though, because he was so close to her. She obeyed the order and slammed him down the ground with her entire force, shaking the shop by its foundations and sending a shock wave that threw the dust and rubble away from her.

"Did you do this?"

The mace clashed with an arm, and for a second one could almost make out its shape as if it was a red shimmer of energy. However, his leg was grabbed, and soon, his body was in the girl's clutches and was dragged along the floor back towards her.

Suddenly a rock hit her, breaking into dust and staggering her, but aside a bruised shoulder that bled, the damage was mostly minimal. The fat man tried to hit her, but his fist struck nothing and stopped short right behind her, as if he had just tried hitting a metal gate. There was a shimmer for a split second, he might almost make out the hands that came for him and grabbed his arm, his face, and raised him high up in the air.

The stench of blood was enough to make her want to puke, but she had gotten used to it. After all, she was just a weapon, it wasn't the first time she saw things like these. It also wasn't the first time she had failed to save someone. And yet, when she looked at the little boy looking up in blank horror while another man's body was covering him, her face started to feel wet.

Ah, right. That man just hit her, so she had to be bleeding. That was all, nothing more.

"How could you... all those people... killing them and acting like it's nothing..."

Her voice was trembling, her entire body was trembling. And yet, there was nothing but fury in her words. Without a second thought, she slammed the skinnier man on the ground with impossible strength, three arms strong enough to shatter concrete easily were now punching him into the ground over. And over. And over.
