Ronin (Aizawa Romance)

Evening (2)

Yagi and Aizawa walk into the officer's bar about ten minutes after eight p.m. There are some other scraggling in officers. The sound of the piano keys is tinkling lightly. The start of a song begins with a simple but sad tone to it. A woman's voice starts to sing slowly with a hint of gruffness that is sexy.

"Autumn leaves are dead...
like a fire I will burn at the best."

"Autumn rise is gone...
as a child I would wash in red,
don't stop my head from falling."

"All of my friends I've lost,
has the grave won again?
I will hear again, I will hear again."

I can be what you lost...
Black Parade...
I give in Will hang from within."
(black parade by Gin Wigmore)

All Might looks at the woman playing the piano. "There's Veronica. She is always early to everything."

Eraser raises his eyebrow over the eye with the scar. "That actually isn't too much of a surprise. I am coming to the conclusion she is quite the tactician."

Yagi chuckles, "She is. You and I both know some women in history have been the most deadly tacticians. Snipers too, she started out as a ranger with sniper."

Aizawa nods his head. None of what Toshinori could tell him about Veronica would surprise him so much. The underground hero has spent his afternoon looking into the North American tribal called the Assiniboine (Nakota). The tribe has a reason to be proud and recognized as such. Veronica has a reason to show her pride in her people she is descended from.

"All the friends I've lost....
Has the grave won again?
All my friends I forgot."

" I will be heard again...I can be lost what you lost...Black Parade."

"I give in Will hang from within."

Shouta strolls over to the piano then rests his arm on it. He stays silent and waits for Veronica to finish the song. The raven haired woman goes a couple more lines of the lyrics then stops. "Evening Mr. Aizawa..."

"Evening and call me Shouta..." Aizawa gives her a small tired smile.

"Thank you Shouta and of course you can call me Ronica. Toshi and now you are the only ones I allow to," Ronin stands up from the piano.

Eraser had thought it was going to be tough staying awake. Then he sees what Veronica chose to wear. (note: NOT traditionally or contemporary correct clothing) She is wearing a doeskin leather top with beading and a pipe bead choker. The black skirt is short and her feet have mountain goat skin, black tall moccasins that have leather ties just over her knees. The attire shows her legs off and her back. The choker is like a collar but the collar of a wild cat. Ronin looks sexy but very much full of attitude and wild at heart. There are three black feathers in a leather tie that appear to be raven.

"Ronin can I get you something to drink?" Shouta asks.

"A cherry coke is all..."

"Nothing harder?" he now inquires.

"I have taken an oath of sobriety. Alcoholism is a terrible problem for tribal people on the reservations. I don't drink to support their battle with it," Veronica smiles with pride.
