Shawana_Chou Ruedra ran up and pulled Kaige out of the way, as the scorpion swung yet again. He was narrowly missed, she was hit instead. "Ouch." Her eyes were very wide, like she was in shock. The posin started eating into her flesh. "You..ugh..asked for it. You monster." She glared at the monster, bringing her arm up to point at its head. Bam! She shot a large rocket-like bullet at it. The bullet went into the head, severly injuring the scorpion. Ruedra sighed and walked over to the wall. A moment later she collapsed.
"My...former...profession called for extensive medical knowledge," Laire explained. She inspected the puncture wound, where Ruedra's flesh had already begun to writhe and disappear. She dabbed at it gently, smelling her fingers carefully after she had done so. "This is strong poison... It smells too metallic to be natural---most likely synthetic." Laire reached into her belt pouch for one of her quick remedies.
Despite the leaps in technology, natural cures still worked best in instances of poison. For a poison of this type, a base substance would be best. A milky substance in a small vial proved to be the prize, which at least stopped Ruedra's flesh eating itself.
"Closing this wound will be troublesome," Laire warned. "And painful. Please keep that scorpion busy while I work."

Shawana_Chou Lae woke up a few hours later at 4:00 am, wrapped in Shi's arms. She blushed slightly and gently removed his arms. She smiled and got out of the bed, into the cold morning air. She walked into the bathroom, with a bag in hand. And back out a moment later, in her tank top and capris. "Oh my. He looks so sweet." She whispered to herself. Then and idea popped into her head. She grabbed the easle from beside the bed, and set it up a few feet away. She took her paints and paintbrushes out og a bag, and dragged a chair over to the easle. She sat down. Put some different colors onto her pallet, and began painting Shi. Shizuri woke up. He saw Laela at the edge of the bed, using the new easle she had gotton the previous day.
"What're you painting...?" Shizuri questioned sleepily, while still unmoved from how he had slept.

She grinned at the sleepy figure. "Oh..just a certain man in a certain bed. Don't move, I'm nearly finished." The sun was up now, filing in through the window. After a few more minutes she sat up straight and sighed. "There. Finished." She smiled at the painting and looked at Shi. "Come look."

{<3}Shizuri stumbled out of bed, still wearing the brown tunic and rumpled pants from the day before. He lay a kiss on Lae's cheek and looked at the painting.
"Aw, it's marvelous," complimented Shi, "when did you wake up?"

"Do what you can... I'll handle this."
He pulled out his gun once more.

Lae looked at Shi. "Oh, um..I think around three hours ago." She stood up to go open the window. "We should go eat something. Seeing as neither of us has eaten since yesterday morning. She grinned and walked over to one of the bags, to pull out one of her new pairs of boots.
_________________________________
Ruedra opened her eyes slightly, to see Kaige pull out his gun. "Ugh.." She looked to her side and saw Laire fixing her wound. She closed her eyes from the pain, and was asleep within minutes.

Kaige's pupils were gone when he stared at the beast.
"Sometimes to live... you must take lives."
He shot an armored bullet through the skull of the scorpion. It's brains were splattered an the wall behind it.

She grinned and walked over to one of the bags, to pull out one of her new pairs of boots. "Alright, I'm going to take a shower first, though," he told Lae, while grabbing a pair of jeans, ripped at the knees, and a forest green tunic, much like the one he had given Laela to wear.

"Okay." Lae walked over to her painting. The paint was beginning to dry. She gathered up the paintbrushes and put them on her pallet. She looked towards the bathroom door. "Hmm.." She needed to get the paint off of the brushes before it dried.
She grinned and picked up the pallet. She walked over to the bathroom door. She checked to make sure it wasn't locked. then went in. Making sure Shi was already in the shower. So she began washing the brushes in the sink.

{<3}Shi was just about finished in the shower, and had been ready to get out. He opened the curtains, and saw Laela there.
"Holy s**t!" he screamed, as he reached to grab the curtains and pull that back.
"Jesus Christ, Lae, what're you doing?!" He asked furiously from behind the curtains.

Laela turned around laughing, she saw that the curtains were closed. "I'm washing my paint brushes. Here" She grabbed a towl and dropped it near the edge of the shower.
Gathering up her now clean brushes, she walked out of the bathroom pulling the door closed behind her. "I'm going to go ahead and find somewhere to eat!" She yelled throught the door, before putting her paintbrushes and and pallet back into a bag, and walking out of the room.

Name: Naokomi.
Age: 19
Hair: Butt length, Ash blonde (Brown/blonde) with streaks of dark red.
Eye: Sky blue.
Height: 5'11''
Special: Mind reader. She can only read certain people's minds and certain thoughts, depending on their level of immunity to her powers, which aren't really developed as of yet. Hell, she doesn't even know she can mind read. She thinks her mind reading ability is more of a special ability at analyzing people's psyche and feelings towards a certain situation.
Gender: Female
Short Bio: Naokomi ran away from her old life when her ex-boyfriend, Jaden from the famous band Outrageous Punk Music (It doesn't exist, it's an old joke with one of my friends.) after he beat her to near death and left her in an alleyway. She was found by Jaden's best friend Noah, who ironically enough isn't in the band. He nursed her back to health and Naokomi fell in love with him, but when Jaden found out where she was staying and came to visit, Naokomi refused to see him and ran away. She is currently on the run from Jaden who is trying to find her no matter what it takes. Naokomi wishes night and day that she could return to Noah, and that he'd miraculously fall in love with her, but for now... all she can do is run.

Naokomi was extremely tired. It had been a long day of running, and she had accidentally run into Jaden.
-Flashback-
Naokomi had used her thievery skills to steal some bread for herself from a nearby store, she had to save her money for other things and food wasn't at the top of her list. It may be a necessity, but she had more important things on her mind. The owner had caught sight of her with the loaf just as she ducked out of his shop, and she was currently trying to run away with the loaf.
With her head turned around to make sure the owner didn't catch up to her, she hadn't realized who she'd run into until she was sitting on top of them.
'Jaden...' she thought warily. Jaden looked up, but he only had a split second to see who it was before she got off him as fast as possible and ran off, throwing the bread into the snow. She didn't care about food anymore, it would weigh her down. She had to get away from Jaden.
"KOMI!" She heard Jaden calling her by his nickname for her from behind. By then, he had stood up and was watching her run away. "KOMI!" He called again, yet again earning no answer.
She turned a corner and was gone before Jaden could get a good look at her back and realize it was her.
-End flashback-
Just in case Jaden decided to follow her, she'd run all the way from Durem to Barton through the back alleys and places Jaden wouldn't even dream of going, and had stopped at a small inn. It was snowing and she was exhausted after running all night. She couldn't afford a room, leaving her with only one option. She entered the inn and walked towards the stairs, leading towards the rooms.
The owner of the inn called her over, and she asked if there was a young man staying there, explaining that she was looking for one. "There's one in Room 18."
"How could I get there?" She asked curiously, fiddling with the hem of her short skirt, and turned on the charm that was sure to give her the information she wanted.
"Up those stairs, room's at the end of the hall on the right." He said with a nod.
Naokomi headed towards the stairs while the man muttered something under his breath about wishing pretty girls still looked at him like that.
"Room 12, Room 14, Room 16... Ah, here it is, Room 18." Naokomi said to herself, after walking up the stairs and passing all the rooms. Pausing, Naokomi took a moment to compose herself before she knocked on the door. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but then again, there were a lot of things this past month she couldn't believe she'd done.
She curled her fingers together, and sharply knocked on the door, waiting for the young man to open the door.

{<3}Shi walked to the door.
"Keep your shirt on," he told the figure behind the door.
"Why, hello," he greeted, "may I help you?"
He asked rhetorically, because he really iddn't want an answer, nor did he even want to help her.
"What do you want?" He asked, waiting for an answer this time, as he reached into his back pocket, gripped the new knife he had bought yesterday.
"Make this quick. I'm meeting with someone."

Naokomi had no clue what to say when she saw the guy who opened the door.
So she did the only think that came to mind when she saw someone she thought she liked. She tackled them with a hug.
Naokomi tripped on the rug however and ended up tumbling on top of the stranger landing in an extremely awkward looking position.
