Haruna had entered into the garden palace, looking around. There were certainly plenty of plants for her to use. Ingredients, that is~ Though she'd stopped assassinating people with poison for a living, she still needed to make the special mixture for the "viral" alcohols at the bar. Of course, no one was supposed to know about them~ And those that did were, of course, people who worked in the bar. It was fairly easy to make, and there were no traces of it in the alcohol. No scent, no taste, no color. It was completely harmless, though. It was only used to put any troublesome customers to sleep to be thrown out onto the street. As she picked her ingredients, she hummed a little tune, just to pass the time. (NOTE: Song being hummed is "Aura (Awakening Version) by Yuki Kajiura" =3 Here's a link if you're curious~: aimini.net/view/?fid=J86ru6uJ3FfowRkSYASf)

Yoko walked alongside the garden just feeling a bit sad today for some odd reason and he didnt know why . YOko couldnt really remember last night and he sorta felt that he maybe wronged a few people because he was at a bar drinking alot of alchahol and in doing so got wasted and ended up at the Kuma clan hideout without even remembering why " grr ..why cant i remember what happened last night ...it seems i was at the bar and then i ..i ...i ...grr i cant remember a thing " and as Yoko was walking he thought about how reckless he had become since he left the company and his mom and dad and uncle and aunt " okay so I know that i need to shape up and be more of a man and stop being such a child " Yoko then stopped dead in hsi tracks with sadness in his eyes without even saying a word just standing there in his grey sweatshirt that was like a jacket and had a hoodie , blue jeans that were slightly torn around the knee region and leg area, a white tank top and white sneakers that looked to be very clean , and him there with his red hair not up in a pony tail for once but just draping over his eyes and shoulders just showing he wasnt himself to anyone that knew him ..but hardly anyone did so it really wouldnt matter " ok now ..should i go back ...im just a danger to everyone I meet when i drink ..grr" he bit hsi bottom lip and gripped the umbrella he had in his hand that just so happened to be an umbrella blade to fend off any people that would attack him because he wasnt physically strong .. but even so he did have skills in using the weapon and as he thought this a few tears began rolling off his face and then from the sky it went dark and it began raining pretty softly ...well it would even seem that the gods even fell bad for little Yoko so who just wanted to cut lose and make friends but was a little bad at making them ..." I guess it started raining " he said without even looking at the sky but instead opened his umbrella and held it up so the rain wuldnt get him wet .." better carry on " he then walked for a lil until he saw a girl picking flowers in the gardens and as he looked he couldnt help but think she looked familiar

Haruna had just finished picking all of her necessary ingredients when it started raining. Letting out an exasperated sigh, she looked around, searching for any sort of place to stay under until the rained stopped. Luckily, her clothes had changed from her uniform to one of her usual apparels. A green dress that hugged her curves, but also hid her cleavage so not to give guys the wrong idea. Unfortunately, the cut of the dress itself would, as it was fairly high for a dress, cutting off at mid thigh before revealing her legs, which had stockings on them. Over this was a white coat that went as far down as her ankles and was usually tied at her hips to hide her body when she wasn't busy seducing men. But enough about her clothes!
She'd carried a basket filled about halfway with herbs that she'd needed for the formula and she was busy looking around for a place to stay before her clothes would get so soaked that men would go crazy just looking at her. Then, she'd noticed a greenhouse. Maybe she could stay there until the rain stopped, or until someone would come along with an umbrella. That was when she'd noticed a guy with an umbrella. But it wasn't just any guy... It was that drunk guy from the bar! Maybe if she just headed to the greenhouse, he wouldn't notice her...

Yoko saw this women and saw the look on her face which made him even more depressed " obviously I did something to her which made her mad at me ...well I should probily apologize " Yoko walked over with his red hair swaying from side to side in rhythm to him motions " I wonder if shell just accept an apology like that ?" He walked a bit further seeing her walk away slowly he hurried his pace and ran " wait ..I want to ask you something " Yoko was running and the rain puddles were making his shoes and legs all wet and damp " Please wait miss I need to ask you something " He had finally caught up to her and when he did he said while bowing and a sad tone that sounded as if he had done something horrible to her " please can you tell me what I did to you ..I do not remember you at all and I wanted to say sorry for anything I have done to you without my knowing " Yoko then stood up and walked in a bit further " please at least let me share my umbrella with you ...you'll catch a death of cold if you stay out here any longer in the rain " Yoko turned his frown into a fake smile that kept twitching because he was nervous and sad and could fake being as he was a for real person

Haruna turned around, surprised to see that he'd caught up to her. Well... it seemed that he was no longer drunk, at least. His little "smile" kinda told her how nervous he was at this point and she looked at him and gave him a smile. She honestly didn't know what to tell him, since he really didn't do anything to her... Maybe to someone else, but not to her. Plenty of people knew that if he tried to do anything, he wouldn't be here asking for her forgiveness right now. He was probably just afraid for what he'd done when he was drunk. Then, he'd offered his umbrella to her.
"Ah. It's okay. I was just going to head to the greenhouse anyways... As for whether or not you've done anything to me, don't worry about it. Primarily because... I've never met you before!"
She gave him a big smile to make the lie convincing. Haruna didn't want to make this guy feel bad for something he didn't do, so she decided to do a little white lie~

Yoko opened his eyes and smiled a real smile that just happened to scream he was relieved " oh thank god ..but no no please I insist you must get under my umbrella and protect yourself from the rain " Yoko sounded a bit scary but when he finally realized what he said he immediately apologized " oh my god im soo sorry about what I just said ...umm ..never mind ...ummmm" Yoko closed his eyes as a sweat drop came from his head " please can we be friends ...Umm lets start this over ..HI im Yoko Kurama and i would like to be your friend miss ..I am 19 years old and am turning 20 in 3 months and I belong to a clan called the Kuma clan " Yoko immediately covered his mouth because he had gotten to nervous and ended up sayings tuff that was unnecesary
" god she must think im a total freak ..errr I hope she doesnt spray me with pepper spray even though I dont like women ..oh wait thats it !"
Yoko got a great idea and said with a little more confidence that showed no nervousness " please dont be alarmed Miss i am gay and will not even think of harming you " Yoko thenhsot his eyes open and started freaking out a gain and twitched a little " im sorry I keep messing up my sentences ..grr " He looked like he was a little spaz and all the sudden when he put his head down the rain stopped and the sun was coming out slowly " hmmm" Yoko looked at the sky and then her " I guess we dont need an umbrella now " He then began laughing a stupid awkward laugh that sounded sortya soft yet kinda deep
" god im such a freak " he though inside his head as asweat dropped from the side of his head again

He was also from Kuma clan? How come the people she'd met lately were all from the same clan as her? Then she listened to him talk and couldn't help but giggle. It seemed that he was quite the spaz, even as he introduced himself and gave out a lot of information to her. It seemed that she was right about him being homosexual in the bar before. But that didn't matter, as the rain had stopped. Observing him, she simply said,
"I'm Haruna. Haruna Shizuoka~ I'm from the Kuma Clan as well."
Haruna had extended her hand in a handshake to Yoko, giving him a warm smile to try and attempt to calm him down from his little... predicament. Taking a closer look at him, it was clear that he was a pretty-boy. Too bad he was preferable towards men~ She would totally take him to bed, just to see if his looks matched his possible skills~

Yoko was all in afluster until he heard she was from the Kuma clan and saw her extend her hand " Yes and as I said before ..names Yoko ..Yoko Kurama ..it is nice to meet you " He then smiled at her adn put his umbrella away with one hand but as he did it he accidentlyy slipped out the blade part and it fell to the ground
" oooh crap I cant believe that just happened "
Yoko looked down and his face went from a pleasent one to a oh no my secret is out face and he bent down and picke dit up and turned around and put it back in its case aka the umbrella " sorry about that ..you didnt see anything ...sooo umm you say your from the Kuma clan ..yeah I just joined it and im not sure what its all about ..if your willing to elaborate ?" Yoko changed the subject hoping she wouldnt have noticed the blade and maybe was distracted
" god Yoko there you go again being awkward ..why cant you be anormal person and make a friend without doing something odd and embarsing ?"
Yoko sighed deeply in his head and awaited for her to speak to what had jst happened or what he asked

Haruna noticed the blade and didn't seem to mind. In times like these, of course you'd be foolish not to carry a weapon. And then she looked confusedly at him when he'd said that he'd just joined the Kuma Clan. It was certainly odd since you were forced to join at the age of 10 anyways. Maybe he hadn't been drafted until now...? But how did that happen...? But, once again, that didn't really matter, since they were in the same clan anyways. And then he'd asked what it was all about. Haruna didn't exactly know the answer to this question herself...
"Well, I don't actually know... Something about a war... But I try to ignore and avoid it all..."
There was a blank look on her face when she began to reminisce of the past, having to fight through several members of rival clans. Having to survive in the cold world on her own. Then, she slowly snapped herself back to reality as she'd thought about what to say to this person next. He seemed almost as nervous as some guys she talked to that weren't homosexual. Maybe just men in general were nervous around her?
"Anyways, don't worry about the little sword thing. I mean, the city can get pretty dangerous, so I guess it'd be smart to keep that around, right?"

Yoko was relieved once more when he saw her reaction that seemed like she didnt mind and then she began talking about a war and he said with a slight frown and getting up holding the umbrella in his hand " yeah it is dangerous in tokyo ..and yeah I know it must seem odd but im from a nice wealthy family and joined by choice and i gues i bit off more than i could chew ..i didnt know i had to fight a war ..and just who do we fight in this war Haruna ...I wanna know if I should be aware that i could be killed at any time ?" Yoko sounded a bit intruiged instead of worried ..maybe this was his calling
" yes this might be what im looking for ..,I hope i dont die or anything "
Yoko was a pretty good fighter but who knows he might actually just suck " Haruna ...of you are a clan member ..then ..how do you fight ..I can only sense a bit of danger from you that makes me feel like your a cold killer and have absolutely no regards when a n order is given ..are you really that good ..and if so ..can you teach me a bit of something ..I have only faught against trainedm peopel not to kill me ..and i need to get better and i dont want to be the one to die in this fight " now he sounded a bit worried and looked a bit sad in his face

"I... can't really teach you anything, unfortunately... But I can supply you with tips on how to survive when in a battle. Here's the first one. Don't fight unless you have to..."
Haruna had learned that lesson long ago... There were many times when her selfish pride had forced her to do things that she'd regretted constantly, but now that they had been done, they couldn't be taken back. Now, Yoko had come to her asking for fighting tips... when all she could really tell him was to never fight. To never contribute to the war. Her hands seemed to be shaking a bit. Half from anger, half from fear. It was a pointless war with pointless bloodshed. She looked down, almost as if in guilt, looking down at the past that she would never be able to re-write.
"Scratch that... Don't fight at all... When you're in a situation like that, just run away..."

Yoko heard what she had to say and said with a slight sigh " even though you seem extremely dangerous in aura ...you say not to fight ..how exactly do you fight anyway Haruna?" Yoko sounded a bit curious on what she had said and he wanted to make good use of himself so yes he would fight ..but only when it is alright to and its his last option
" I dont know ..now i feel that maybe it isnt a good thing for me to fight ..yet something in my heart tells me this is fate "
Yoko looked at her as he fumbled with the blade hands of the umbrella .. the umbrella handle for the blade was like a samurai sword not a umbrella and it blende din with the black umbrella " I dont know ..maybe i will have to protect someone when the time is right ..just who are the other clans anyway " he thought this outloud while giving a blank dazed expression on his face

"The Tora and Ookami clans... Just be careful with your identity around Tokyo, okay...? I don't want to lose a fellow Kuma... I don't want anyone to die, actually..."
Haruna had a firm belief that this war was just stupid. Another unexplained quarrel between people... She was thinking about what to tell him now, since he was intent on learning how to wield his blade. He wanted to learn how she, herself, had fought? There were plenty of ways that she could fight... Hand to hand... Melee... Indirect. Those were her primary three, where hand to hand was self explanatory. Melee was her usage of the dagger, flipping it around in her hands while quickly dispatching of enemies by hitting vital points. Indirect was her usage of a ranged weapon, such as a pistol. She could certainly aim well enough. Perhaps that was the fighting style for someone such as Yoko. He certainly couldn't do any of the other two in a short period of time...
"Before I can continue anything, I'd like to ask whether or not you've wielded a gun ever before in your life."

Yoko gulped when he heard about not mentioning his identity and said with relieved tone " thank god i haven't been telling anyone about our clan " Yoko then heard her say something about a gun and he said while gulping again " ummm ..no not really ..is it hard ..?" Yoko didn't know how the war would be held so he might need to learn a far ranged weapon just to stay alive " and yes i know what you mean ..i wouldn't want any of our men and women getting killed either ..it juts a sad thing " Yoko then began looking sad a little
" I hope i never have to kill anyone that doesn't deserve it ..exprecially not children " Yoko though this with a sad sigh inside

"Unfortunately, not everyone can be like you..."
Haruna also sighed before looking around to see if anyone was with them or in the area. Opening her coat, she placed her hand in one of the inside pockets, producing a pistol of sorts. Just by looking at it though, one wouldn't be able to tell whether or not it was loaded. She pulled the recoil back, loading it. She then handed it over to Yoko before pointing at a tree with a strange blue marking on it that was about 20 feet away from the both of them.
"Now, I want you to take aim at that tree and fire. If you can at least dent the tree, there's not much more I need to teach you."
