Alice started to laugh slightly, and then she just got ready to follow him. Alice was happy, she knew what she was saying, but most people don't. So, she just said. "Now you have to tell me where we are going." Then she turned to the boy. "So, my name is Alice, I like people calling me by my name, because sometimes they call me by 'hey you'." She said looking in the direction the girl in the red dress had gone off in.

Natsume just looked at her blankly, then averted his eyes and pushed off the wall, pulling his hood over his eyes again. "Natsume." He said as his introduction and began to walk. "And I don't know where we're going." He muttered quietly as he began walking. He had to find a demon.... Where in town am I going to find a demon?... Gosh... This is stupid... He thought to himself, shoving his hands deep into his pocket and clutching the notebook he had in his pocket that was just the size of a large wallet.

[~Lotus~]

"Huh, you didn't strike me as the type to randomly walk around like I do." She said, and then went along to Natsume's side. "Hey, what's that?" Alice said looking at something strange lurking behind them.Then she realized who it was. "Come out of there and stop looking like some stalker." Alice said.

Lotus emerged from the shadows and said. "My name Is Lotus, call me by it." Lotus mocked Alic's monotone form before and then started laughing again. Then She sighed and said. "So your name's Natsume huh?" And then looked around and sighed again. "It's hard to stop breathing for a while, and I still get caught."

[Mayiamaru]

"You never left in the first place." Natsume muttered quietly, rolling his eyes before he stopped walking, then turned to look at Lotus. "You both... Why is it always people like you who just don't want to leave me alone?..." He hissed, his gleaming eyes glowing to intensify his anger, the top of his hat rising because of his ears. He usually had more control, but this time he just couldn't keep his ears down.

[~Lotus~]

Louts smiled, and then smiled. "Awe, you know your eyes would make a cute cat's eye." She said dancing around. "Oh fine I'll leave then bye hey you..I mean, Alice." And there Lotus went bouncing away from the two. How come I am never wanted anywhere huh? she thought with a smile, and spun around sining.

"There is a water pipe behind you. You could use that if you want to." Rioku said, barking to get the message across before he continued to work on the garden, pulling up weeds and spreading the decaying plant at the base of any plant that needed the nutrients.

Eleven nodded briefly before turning around and scanning the area for the water pipe Rioku mentioned. She saw the pipe and swiftly walked over to it, biting into her lower lip softly. Eleven reached out cautiously and turned the rusty knob clockwise. A stream of water shot out of the end of the long green garden hose attached to the water pipe, spraying water everywhere. Eleven's eyes widened and she rushed over to the hose, snatching it up into her hands. She let out a soft sigh and then turned her attention to the flower bed, lightly dousing them with the cold water that came out of the hose.

Natsume's cheeks actually reddened and he pulled his hood down to hide it. With a low hiss, he turned away from Alice next and sneered at her. "Aren't you going to leave too?" He said coarsely, spitting out his words like they were venomous. He hated when people made him show weakness, and to him, anything that made him feel warm inside was weakness.

Rioku was pleased with the quick progress, finishing up his job quickly and coming to Eleven's side before materializing completely again. His muzzle was wet from the water, but he didn't mind at all. "We should be just about done here." He said, pulling his jaws into a smile while he looked over the now shimmering garden. The water that dappled the petals was gorgeous and soothing as it reflected the light of the sun.

It was just about the time of day that the prisoners were taken out for their one hour of exercise. Because the prison was located under the courthouse for recent offenders, they didn't have an exercise yard. They made due with the nearby field. Everyone was dressed in red jumpsuits, allowing a white shirt underneath. Skye was with the group that went outside and was also dressed in the suit, but they allowed him to keep his hat, to hide his terrifying eyes, his glove, because he wouldn't allow them to touch it, and his thing white collared shirt, because it had no pockets and was too thin to hide anything. He was wearing the jumpsuit as only pants, tying the rest around his waist.

Eleven sprayed the flowers once more before turning her gaze down to Rioku, her eyes gleaming with playfulness. She placed a thumb partially over the nozzle of the hose, controlling the spray so it was just a thin stream. Eleven raised the hose into the air, spraying the water into the air. The water droplets rained down on Eleven and on Rioku, showering them with a cool spray of water. Eleven closed her eyes and turned her face up to the water, a smile spreading across her face.

(*sigh*
I have to go now...
There are warning sirens blaring...
A twisters coming... Bye...)

[~Lotus~]

Alice looked at him. "Why would I? I asked to come with you didn't I why would I randomly leave you alone?" She said and then looks at him. "Come on, don't get so defensive ok, it was just a joke from a stupid girl." She said with a smile, and then said. "But, it's true, I just realize that you were that animal, right? You do have nice eyes as an animal though." She said trying to get him to walk on.

[Mayiamaru]

(Alright! See you later ^_^)

Rioku barked, for once taking time to just be playful. Since he was never given the chance to play like a pup, he did it now. Why not. He pounced around Eleven, the water collecting on his back, but once he got too wet, he shook his fur furiously, droplets of water being flung everywhere.

Natsume hissed under his breath and turned away. "Shut up...." He hissed quietly the first time, when Alice asked her questions. "Shut up." He said, just a little louder when Alice tried to comfort him. And finally, that comment about him being a cat set him off, turning and glaring into Alice's eyes with a vengeful look in his eyes. "Shut up! You don't know anything!" He snapped. "You haven't lived to know what in the heck you're even talking about, kid. You and your little friend have got to learn to just bud out!" He sneered, then turned, storming away with one hand pulling his hood over his eyes and the other in his pocket. He was just furious.
