NOTHING going for YOU [So why are you still here?]

[F L A M E]

"You think it is innocent when you insult me?" He replied to her. Then he asked again, "So why do you want me here?" Alex guessed she just wanted someone to insult, but who knows? He didn't even know her, and she was insulting him and trying to control him. Alex wasn't surprised she wasn't fond of him, though she didn't know him, because everyone hated him. And he really didn't care either... as he had always said, Who needs friends?

I rolled my eyes and just wanted to strangle the boy. He was so thingyy, so full of himself. Like I was all to blame.
"What part of reverse pyschology do you not get?! I don't want you here anymore than you want to be here. Since you weren't leaving, I asked a question that wasn't really that insulting, and you, like every other boy on the face of the earth, have to go cry to mommy. Either leave, or grow the hell up."

[F L A M E]

Alex nodded and replied "So if you don't want me here why talk to me? Apparently, like everyone else, you hate me." This is why he didn't talk to people... And why he hated them as well. His eyes stayed focused on her, and then he spoke again, "Listen I'm sorry if I made you mad. Maybe its time I take my leave, no reason to hang around someone who hates me" Now he spoke only the truth, though he wanted to stay, what was the point? He figured she'd just make fun of him for apologizing now, which is why he kind of regretted it. Alex narrowed his eyes, watching her, hoping she would not insult his apology. Though, knowing what he did about her, he guessed she would.

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

I didn't even have to look at him and I wanted to kill him. What was he, three? What did I have to do to shut him up? Something about me was frantic. Something about me didn't want him to leave. I never thought I would actually do it; at least not to a not paying customer. But I just wanted someone to talk to. I wanted someone to point me in the direction of whoever ran the place so that I could start working my magic fingers on their pelt and in turn their wallet. So, so what if I stepped on this guy on the way out.
My cat like reflexes took over. My hair was still jet black as I lunged from the shadows at him. He probably thought I was attacking him, but with my agility, he couldn't get away. My lips were already against his. There it was, the kiss. I wondered what he was going to do now, cry rape? There's no one hear to here you anyway... I smiled, and pulled away slightly. I still had him pinned against the wall. My voice was just above a whisper.
"If I hated you, would I have done that?"

[F L A M E]

Alex looked at her and said "No, no I guess not." Then, for the first time since he met her, Alex smiled. He thought OK so she's not so bad after all... Then he flashed back too reality and felt like he was lost. Then, remembering where he was, he looked at the female in front of him. Suddenly he didn't feel so hated in the world and he felt a if he could stay here forever. Though his gaze stayed strong, for he didn't want to seem weak.

-hmm that post not too good-

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

Their was one thing that scared me about that moment. It wasn't like it was the first time I'd kissed some random guy. What was scary was that for the first time I had felt what I thought was only a legend. I felt that electricity. It made me want to run, and yet it had me glued to the spot. I was stuck. I was lost right now.
And that's when I remembered how hot it was in this place, how the heat rose and got me all sweaty. How the heat had made me want to strip down before; now it just made me want to strip for a different reason, because I wasn't trying to subject this boy to my power anymore, I wanted to be subjected to his. Odd, isn't it?
All this time spent thinking, and my gaze did not even waver from his. I saw his smile. And I guess he probably caught the one I gave after it to. It seemed to me that my body was on auto response, I needed to turn the auto pilot off or the boy would leave. As if I wasn't screwed already. For the first time since I can't even remember when, my voice shook as I watched him.
"Now that I've got your attention, might I know a name and a reason of why you're down here in the first place?"

[F L A M E]

Alex watched her then when he heard her question he replied "Names Alex.. Leader of the thieves. And I guess I came here to be alone..." Though that had passed, now he wanted to be alone... with her. He was suddenly aware of the heat, but he ignored it as best he could. He sighed, catching his his breath as he waited for her reply. This was the first time he had ever.... liked anyone before and the first person who had not hated him.

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

I couldn't contain my laughter. I had threatened the leaders life, and I hadn't gotten killed. I must be good. I could make easy work of this boy, he had my name written all over him. And unless he'd stop me from having flings with the ladies when I felt like experimenting, I would love to just be his. I'd be his little house cat, to sit in his lap and purr. I really just couldn't describe the feeling inside me. The guy that I felt the electricity for was the guy I would be going after anyway.
I couldn't stop myself. I kissed him lightly, holding my lips against his a little longer. It was still there. I pulled away, and let go of the pinned down boy, and leaned against the wall next to him. Absentmindly, I groped for his hand in the darkness, but I stopped when I realized how desperate I must be getting. My breathing was heavy as I leaned against the wall and groaned, if I was a dog, I'd be panting right now. My voice shook again. I couldn't help it right now.
"Is...Is it hot in here...or is it just me?"
I couldn't think straight when I was this hot. I stripped what was left of my top off and threw it aside, taking a deep breath for my newly freed lungs. It's not like I wasn't covered. I was wearing a full on sports bra. Besides, I think better when I'm undressed. I looked at him again, innocence written all over my face, but my voice did not waiver.
"Alex is a better name then mine. I bet you don't get called demon child as you walk down the street..."
He'd have to ask. I wasn't going to hand it out like candy. And now I got to play the dumb blonde, even though I knew full well what the thieves were.
"Leader of the thieves? You mean burgulars and predators like that actually made a group out of it?"
I giggled and batted my eyes so he got the idea that I wasn't really that dumb I was just playing with him to think that I didn't care what he was, I just liked him. Wait, what did I just think? Great. Now I really have lost my mind, and here I am, smiling at the boy who I was planning on killing and taking over his throne, but the knife clatters to the floor. What good am I to the world anymore, if I can't even follow my own intentions? This boy, this boy and I could do something together. I needed him.

[F L A M E]

Alex nodded and said in a shaky voice, "Yes it is... He cleared his throat and finished "hot in here.." He watched her helplessly, feeling as if he couldn't leave if he wanted to. He felt a leg start to shake, but he stopped it and held it still. He didn't want to make it seem as if he were in her control. He watched her, never taking his eyes off her. And for once in his life he actually trusted someone.

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

I couldn't help but giggle at the look in his eyes. They seemed to tell it all, how he was fighting it. I looked away, for the first time in my life ashamed of the monster that I was. I choked on the words as they slipped out of my mouth.
"I-I'm sorry."
I grabbed my shirt and put it back on, shrinking into the shadows so he wouldn't be tempted by me anymore. An idea struck me, and in the shadows I morphed into my cat self. At least this way he wouldn't be able to do anything, and I wouldn't be able to kiss him until I knew he was mine. I bounced from the shadow and attacked the shoe lace of his shaking leg with a giggle, and with it in my mouth I looked up to him like a kitten, and just meowed, as if I couldn't speak in this form.

[F L A M E]

Alex nodded as he heard her words, then he watched her disappear into the shadows, and come out a cat. He looked down at her and replied forgivingly, "I forgive you..." He slip down the wall, and sat on the floor, still watching her. Alex was starting to go crazy for her. He laid his hands on his legs, wanting to speak his feeling out loud, but he didn't. He decided to just live in the moment for now...

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

She grinned a chesire cat grin, but the feeling inside her wouldn't go away. The shift was unstable, she couldn't hold it in. She yowled as there was a pain from the unstable shift, and she darted off into the darkness of the subway. She couldn't let him see her in pain, she had to be strong. As soon as she knew she was far enough away, she shifted back into her human form completely now, her eyes going back to the brown they had been at birth, her hair the blonde that she was born with. She leaned against the wall, the tears streaming down her cheeks as she gasped for air. Don't find me. Don't find me. Let me die alone, thinking of the horrors that I have caused.
Yet part of her wanted him to come to her, wanted him to be her knight in shining armor. Who would say it first? Would she prove to have emotions before he did, or was it all a hoax? Even she didn't know anymore. She whimpered into her tears, and grabbed her knees, burying her head in them as she rocked back and forth in the darkness. For once, actually afraid of it.

[F L A M E]

Alex shifted into his fox form, and as he saw her take off he followed. He sniffed out her scent and when he found her he sat down, then said "I-I love you..." There was no hiding it anymore.. an emotion he thought he'd never feel had happened to him. He peered through the darkness toward her, loving her more each second.

[|K|o|y|a|m|i|]

I heard his voice through the darkness, it sounded like it was a thousand miles away. The tears just stained my cheeks more. I was staring at the darkness in front of me, pressing my back against the wall so the demons couldn't get to me. My voice came out in a hushed whisper, as if we would walk the dead if we spoke over it.
"You love my body, just like everyone else. You can't love something that doesn't have a soul."
I didn't even look at him to say it. He had come. He had said what I never thought anyone would say that I wasn't getting paid by at some point in time. He was just some random boy, who happened to be the prince of thieves. I was a sleeper and a murderer, never a thief. It was below me; I had always thought that. What was coming over me?

[F L A M E]

Alex replied softly, "No, I love you... I don't say that unless I mean it." He sighed as he felt his hope fading, and said "I am a thief, do you think I am much better than you? I have never been close to anyone, except now I have.. you" He meant these words, and he hoped she would believe him. He brushed his tail gently on her should, and laid his head near her. He truly hoped she would believe his words. Then he spoke once more, "If I did not love you... I would have left long ago."
