Mariku was delighted when the girl had agreed to see him again, especially so soon. She was a smart girl from what he'd gathered s far, which would make this more of a game than he expected. The premise of which filled him with excitement.

He couldn't wait to conquer her.

Mariku had decided on a simple light gray sweater and beige khakis. Adorned with his usual earrings and some rings dotted across his fingers. Nothing too fancy as she'd requested for this to be more casual.

As he rounded the train station, it was her hair that caught his attention first. Even being pulled back. That long, thick, red-tinted hair was hard to miss.... He could imagine running his fingers through it already and the idea made him shudder lightly.

Behave.

"Shizuka! There you are..." He called to her, making his way over.

[silentanosmiac]

Upon hearing her name drift over the front of the train station, she looked up to meet his gaze, approaching her. He was a little early as well, which she found pleasantly surprising and with the tug of her purse up to her shoulder, she actually found a spark of pleasantness ignite in her stomach... maybe she really needed this?

"Hey, Mariku!" A wave and a soft smile on her face, welcomed him as she approached a few steps towards him, a tad bit awkward though, since she was used to hug people she met up with privately in greeting. She couldn't do that with him. No chance.

"Hope you didn't have to search for long... was your day pleasant so far?" A slight tilt of her head showed honest curiosity.

"I made a point to book us a table, so we could eat peacefully. I hope you're feeling like emptying a whole tapas place, because i plan to fully commit to eating them out of house and home."

Go the fun route... just commit. This is your first deliberate meeting. I am sure the awkwardness will vanish entirely, he has a way with that...

She had to admit that this thought came out of nowhere, but was true... he had this way with words and situations, loosening her up, making her less aware. It worked after that traumatic incident. She couldn't say if that was simply a pleasant talent or would be her ultimate undoing. If anything, she wasn't prone to guarding her mind a lot...

[silentanosmiac]

@cannibalmariku

It was an oddity, she decided, that she couldn't explain.

For her to be at this place was less of an issue. She just had honest problems to decipher what had moved her to actually go out with him of all people.

Again!

She leaned against the fountain in front of the train station, going through some of her appointments. Alltogether she still looked tired and unnerved, but a lot more put together than during their first meeting.

Wearing a simple jeans and a shirt and jacket combo in a blueish hue today didn't make her stand out a lot, but the fact that she decided to string her hair up in a ponytail was different.

As always she had arrived twenty minutes early, just to be polite. She didn't want to waste his time with being late.

Locking her screen and pocketing her phone, she marvelled at how it slowly started to turn dark. Staring up into the sky, her eyes followed some fluffy clouds vanish behind a tall building.

There were lots of people... that's fine, she wasn't agoraphobic

It was turning dark... Mariku would be here soon. ... what an ominous thought. She asked herself if that meeting had already caused him to be tired of her... maybe he'd just leave her standing here, alone and twitching at shadows....

What the hell was she doing here? How on earth could she trust him enough to put herself out here after THAT.

Shizuka breathed... once, twice... dug her nails into her palms and looked at her watch. Still ten minutes.

She could handle ten measley minutes.

[cannibalmariku]

A casual and comfortable 'date', he supposed? It could be just as important as any other more formal meeting. Sure. Why not. Whatever helped him get closer to this delicious little thing.

"That sounds wonderful to me. It would be nice to just relax. No pretending."

He smirked at that, the whole foundation of Mariku's life he had now built on pretending.

"I'll come pick you up at Eight? Or would you prefer to take the train...?"

[silentanosmiac]

A few minutes later he got another message, including the cutout of the Domino city map, the upper point was circled and a place a little further to the right was marked with a simple X.

Let's meet up at the X, if you don't mind, Mariku. I'm just going to take the train. Eight sounds perfect. I need some peace and quiet, my flat is a war zone.

She added a photo again, but this time it was of three women, sans their faces, apparently mid argument and an extremely ruffled looking black cat, freaking out in the background.

I'm trying for spontaneous human combustion with my mind, but I fear the magic has abandoned me. See you tomorrow.

[cannibalmariku]

Mariku had decided to get up and go about his day finally when it seemed their conversation had finished for the time being. He was Focusing on his daily chores after that, holding the anticipation of hearing back from the girl as he would periodically check his phone.

When she finally messaged him again, it had been several hours. The news was about what he expected. He'd seen enough bruises and wounds to know what looked troublesome... hers certainly hadn't been one. But of course he'd play along.

A pleased little smirk settling on his lips as she suggested meeting again soon.

"I'm glad to hear it, it's always better to be safe than sorry. I'd be delighted to see you again. How about tomorrow night? unless that's too soon."

[silentanosmiac]

Serenity seemed to still hang in the phone as she replied to him immediately without any wait, as if she had waited for his reaction.

Sounds good to me, honestly. I wanted to try out a Tapas bar for some time, if that does agree with you?

And please... don't bother to dress up... I'm too unnerved with everything. Let's just have some down time together and not bother with social acceptable behavior tomorrow. The conversation halted for a few seconds, before she added something more as if in an afterthought.

I need a break.

[prodomius]

[xmoonlicious616x]

Man, i really miss those old anime dynamics of Yandere girl/boy characters before it has turned everything into morality competition.

[silentanosmiac]

This time her reply came directly and a lot quicker.

What the hell? Don't apologize for that!

There was a pause before she typed again.

Don't ever apologize for that, if it weren't for you... Let's actually not imagine that. All I want to do is make sure that nothing is broken and maybe get an ointment...

I made those for myself and honestly to keep record, should I need any, legally speaking... but it... doesn't look pretty.

The next message was a picture with one time viewing access and it wasn't as revealing as he probably wished, but it showed a part of her side being discolored in a vibrant, circular dark bluish violet.

Scared the daylights out of me...

[cannibalmariku]

"That was smarty, honestly. it's always good to keep a record of those things. "

After hitting send, the girl was typing again, and this time he received a photo. Even if it was brief little thing with not much shown other than the afflicted spot, it was more than enough for the blonde.

It caught his interest immediately, sitting up a bit from his reclined position. He could still make out the gorgeous porcelain skin around the harsh bruising. The bruise in and of itself sparking a fire in his belly as he dragged his tongue over his lips lazily. He could imagine how she'd whimper if he pressed on it tightly.

"Oh wow, that looks really painful... I don't blame you for being scared at all."

[silentanosmiac]

I'm sure it's a big load of nothing. Just to be sure, though.

She took her sweet time replying after that, which was probably due to her little emergency meeting with the doctor, who knows where she got the appointment. Sitting at the ER could take all day, if she was unlucky, after all.

A few hours later, he'd get a sparkling new message back.

I'm officially out of the reeds. It's superficial impact danger, that should eventually go away in the next weeks, where I will not be venturing out in a bikini. Tough luck... just when the weather is so nice.

The eyeroll right after just empathized her sarcasm and most likely short fuse with the appointment/s(?) today.

We should meet up and celebrate that I am still alive thanks to you. And my fading battle scars, of course. Before they vanish completely and I will return to every day citizenship. My treat of course.

[silentanosmiac]

continued from here

It took a moment until the three dots came up again and vanished and came back up.

That dragged on for a minute, before Shizuka seemed to be happy with her reply or resignated in trying to buffer it.

I'm glad you're feeling alright. I'm on my way to the doctor, so I guess... I'm not alright.

I guess, I underestimated what a metallic object can do to a body, when you get thrown into it full force.

[cannibalmariku]

Mariku lifted his brows at the disappearing and reappearing dots, a little smirk settling on his lips as the girl seemed to be really contemplating her words.

"Ah, sorry about that... I probably should have been more careful than just tackling that guy. But I saw he had a knife, and well... forgive me."

Mariku had just wanted to get that bastard away from what was his, before he was able to do any damage.

[silentanosmiac]

This time her reply came directly and a lot quicker.

What the hell? Don't apologize for that!

There was a pause before she typed again.

[silentanosmiac]

[continued from here]

She had picked up her tea, slowly carrying it over to her bed after all the excitement. She had been welcomed at home, by two very worried cats and had to console them for a while until she had enough time to make herself some calming tea.

Slipping into bed as well, she was surprised to see that he had already replied. One of herbrows lifted, as she dragged over her laptop, duplicating the messenger app there and pulled up some files for work.

The easiest way to distract herself was writing and she had to hit her quota anyway. Tiredly, her eyes slipped towards the nightstand clock... 1:15am...

Pulling up the chat, she actually took her time to read through his message a smile slipping over her lips, as she shook her head.

"Awwww, it's so nice to know that you'd care~ 😄

My cats needed consolation and even more important food.

And how calming can a tea be, if you don't have to chew half of it? I might have overdone it a little 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for staying up and waiting for me!"

She minimized the tab to start a new document about research goals for new projects to look into. All in all this meeting had inspired her more than it had ended upshocking her... well... the parts that involved Mariku anyway.

She had no idea if those projects would even interest him, but they didn't have to. The most important thing was that she had gotten exactly what she needed... a breather and inspiration... and he had delivered that to her on a silver platter.

Another thing she had to be thankful for.

Even if he'd never know that.

[silentanosmiac]

16.  MAKEOVER

16.  MAKEOVER :  for one muse to help the other with a new outfit or hairstyle.

"Look this one looks nice!"

Shizuka was right in her element, flitting her eyes around the store as if she absolutely belonged there, a menace in her own might, ready to find the best pieces for her brother.

The shirt fell against his chest as she held it here, pondering.

"What do you think? And you still didn't tell me, what this is for. A rare opportunity and I have no idea what occasion you want to use a new outfit for, you know, that could be fatal." She lifted her brows at him, half in amusement, half scolding him for his secrecy.

"I say, you've brewed this tea, now you can share it!"

[cannibalmariku]

This instance seemed to have provided Mariku with the perfect set up. It left the girl feeling vulnerable and provided cracks in the foundation of her walls. Just big enough for Mariku's will to slither inside.

Even so, Mariku hadn't anticipated her to open up so much so quickly. What a marvelous turn of events~. He was taken aback for a moment, honestly.

"Oh? I couldn't agree more. As far as men and women both having their perks. Or anyone in between, really..." Mariku never cared about gender in his playthings and partners. As long as he could derive pleasure for himself from them in one way or another, that's all that mattered.

When the girl made mention of the blimp, Mariku adjusted accordingly. setting a soft frown on his lips. "I suppose so...." What he'd done to Mai had been one of his few fond memories from that time. The look of utter terror and the way her body fell to pieces... Beautiful. He'd so love to see her now and indulge properly. Finish what he had started.

Mariku grew silent then, both of them just standing quietly for a bit when the train finally began pulling into the station.

[silentanosmiac]

Shizuka immediately nodded in agreement. They definitely agreed on that line fully, it seemed. "Absolutely, it doesn't really matter to me either. Huh." She floated in the moment, uncertain if their agreement should make her feel this good. Did she float up or had somebody slipped the floor from beneath her, she was unsure.

Her eyes studied him for a moment, taking in his expressions. She asked herself if he really meant that. Remorse didn't seem like him, but she had been surprised a few times tonight... Another moment later, she asked herself if she could honestly demand remorse for any of his actions in that time frame. He had been wrong to do those things, definitely, but she didn't have the slightest idea, how he must have felt. Silently, deeply in thought, she watched the train slowly pull in, before she sighed and turned towards him again. She surprised herself, when she tapped his wrist lightly to get his attention again, feeling distressed of all bloody stupid things to feel.

"Thank you... Mariku." She said, from the bottom of her heart again, before she stepped away from him and threw him another look over her shoulder, before waving her phone a little. "Talk to you later." Stepping through the doors of the train, she turned around and seemed willing to let him reply, while holding eye contact and she would resume doing that until the train left the station.
