Twisted Two

In My Life...

"Ahh..." a soft yawn emerged from Yumiko and she awoke in unfamiliar, yet comforting warmth and arms.

"What the... Oh..." she mutters, rubbing her eyes tiredly. "Soryu, wake up." she gently tried to pry his arms away, but to no avail. "Seriously...? Soryu! Wake up!"

"Mm... What...?" he grumbles, his eyes squinting as he opens them a little.

"Think you can let go of me?" "Oh..." the man, blushing lightly, tries to calmly let go of her. "Thanks. Now let's go... It's been a week so I think I can walk by myself now. I don't need your help as much."

"No way, I promised your brother I'd watch over you." "No, I'll be good, I-" "Let's go, go and get ready."

The mobster orders and the girl sighs and rolls her eyes before trudging off to do so. But the mobster scolds himself to use such an excuse to keep her around.

"But why...?"

~*****~

They were out on the streets with Yumiko wearing her trademark clothes, an over sized sweater along with black leggings that complimented the gray sweater. A scarf was around her neck, a lighter shade of her sweater. Hair in a braid bun, her venom red eyes were framed with glasses.

"So what do you want to do, Oh?"

"I don't care." he shrugs and Yumiko grins. "That's great, come with me." the girl grabs his hand, locking their fingers together. The man blushes, but he could care less when she pulled them out of the throng of people, their hands locked together, so as not to lose each other.

"Here we go!"

"What... An arcade...?" "Yup! When I was young, Yukio and I training when we were 6, our father would reward us by bringing us here. He wasn't that bad of a dad..." she frowns, perhaps remembering the news of yesterday.

"Well," the mobster's words steered her away from the sullen topic. "Go in. I'll wait out here."

"Nope! You're coming with me." "No I'm not." "You said you don't care, so you're coming!" she pouts, pulling him into the game-filled building.

She bought $50 worth of tokens, giving them over a 100. "We got it, let's go. I have a game where I trained myself while playing!" she smiles, grabbing his hand to drag him around again. It was quite out of character for the usually cold mobster and assassin to be dragged around, or smiling.

They soon arrive at what looked to be a shooting game with zombies. "I loved this since I watch horror movies and shooting... So yeah. Wanna play with me? I can't use all these tokens."

"No." "Come on! You're being boring!" "No." "Boooring... Whatever." she rolls her eyes and starts the game but then frowns. "Oh shit... I forgot it was for two... I always played it with dad or Yukio."

She sighs and places the bag of tokens away with a pout. "Well, let's go play something else then." she smiles and grabs his hand again, but Soryu pulls her back, telling some waiting gamers they were using the machine.

"Give me the tokens." "Huh?" "We'll play here." he mutters, stretching his hand out. "Really?! Thanks, Sor!" she grins and pulls out the bag of tokens after a brief hug to the man.

"Let's do this!"

Hours passed and as much as he hated to admit it, he had never had as much fun than today's events. After their zombie shooting spree, they had played several other games and the day was quickly coming to an end.

"The arcade's closing in an hour, huh..? It sure has been fun... Thanks, Oh, it's been great." she gives him a toothy smile. "We got 10 more tokens, what do you- Oh!" she suddenly gasps with an excited grin.
