Scars and Burns

[Tsun]

Tsun growled dangerously whenever the locals looks down towards her when they pass by. She didn't even bother to respond to their questions of her well-being and just roughly made her way though the crowd of people.

She crashed her plane somewhere around Kumo, and her burn marks and scars are very visible to see with her torn clothes. She ignored all the grown-ups that are trying to stop her and ask her if she's fine, because if there's one thing she hates, its people feeling sorry for her.

She heard there's supposed to be a place like a clinic or something in Fijion, so she walked all the way from Kumo to this tropical islands and not even stopping for a drink, determined to fix her skin first, since she hates the sympathy of others.

Nearing the Herbal Healing, Tsun could tell by the smell of herbs and icky vegetation that its the place she's been looking for. Just as she's about to enter, someone passed by in front of her, and without warning or regret whatsoever, the pink-haired girl rammed through this person...but well, she didn't expect she's the one that fell off on her butt.

"Wh...HEY!!!" Tsun looked up, anger and frustration clearly in her eyes to see who's actually strong enough to make her fall like that.

[Kouji]

The black haired swordsman was in the area looking for some sleeping herbs once his plan is set in motion. He was taking all necessary precautions to make sure that his plan was flawless.

And if you really think about it sleeping herbs can be used as medicine for a person who has trouble sleeping. So therefore he could cover his grounds if someone ever asked him what he plans to do with the sleeping herbs due to the feeling of suspicion that is caused by the aura that he gives off to people, and needless to say it isn't a friendly aura.

Kouji isn't the type of guy to help someone up if they fall and say "Oh I am so sorry are you okay?" That person that does that often to people was his daughter, and maybe on occasion Jake if he said anything at all.

As he was minding his own business not caring who was around him- he bumped into a little girl.

Annoyed and with a vein popping from his forehead he eyed the girl coldly that was staring at him and making a fuss. And by the tone of her voice she sounded like a brat, and if there is one thing that Kouji dislikes it is brats- it's a miracle how he managed to put up with his children. 3 no less.

Perhaps it was because of his plan/scheme.

"If I were you brat I would move away once you see someone coming toward you. If you can't see may I suggest you get a eye examination? After all it isn't my fault that you can't see."

[Tsun]

"And why the hell should I move away?! Is it just because I'm smaller than you, fatso?!" From her view on the ground below, it does look like this guy in front of her is huge, resembling a giant perhaps. Grumbling as she pushed herself up to her feet, the sting of her skin that got rubbed against the dirt escaped her notice since she's so pissed off at the moment.

She didn't take his insults as painful, mostly it's because he just uses a sort of obvious chaining to be rude. This sort of chaining is child's play for Tsun. ...Ignoring that she IS a child. On the plus side, this little pink-haired girl is not your average child when it comes to deliberate revilement.

"As ugly as you are to tempt me to charge back with a less cheesy insult, I don't want to waste my breath on you, you walking piece of prune.." she only muttered that, but she made sure it's loud and clear enough for this annoying man to hear her.

Then, as a payback for knocking her down, Tsun kicked the dirt in front of him, so it would stick onto his white clothing. She rolled her eyes after that, wanting to kick HIM actually but since she already declared he isn't worth it, decided to spare her physical abusement.

As the infirmary is right by him, Tsun then rammed her shoulder to his side very roughly as she walked passed, resulting him to get knocked sideways slightly if his footing isn't stable.

In Tsun's mind, she's silently thankful to be meeting such a mingy person after all those simpletons who were too overly caring. "Thanks," she unknowingly uttered under her breath as she stalked off to the entrance of the Herbal Healing.

[Kouji]

He paused, and stared at the pink brat that just kicked dirt onto his clothing. He dusted it off like it was nothing and laughed. "Is that all you've got? Just a kicking up dirt and walking away? Is that how you handle people that annoy you? Well well..."

He crossed his arms before he continued.

"You really are a brat that doesn't get her own way, and doesn't fight properly for that matter. If you truly want to settle the score with the person that annoys you then FACE that person. Heh I know you are angry, don't I just aggravate you?!"


"A prune... well prunes are considered to be OLD people with lots and lots of wrinkles. I'm sure when you get to be that age you'll shrivel up to be a prune like you wished. I still have a lot of youth left in me, but you acting like a whiney pink brat will make you age faster. So in all reality... YOU"LL be a prune before me."

[Tsun]

Tsun paused her steps midway to her destination, this prune dare lashed back at her. At this, she smirked. After she spun around to face this man, that smirk is no where near existent on her face. 'Oh, it's on, skank.'

Her face doesn't tilt the slightest, only her eyes darted upwards just in time to see the old man crossing his arms. Tsun listened, her face void of expression, considering she's too tired to be her normal energetic physically active self. She did walked through a whole country to get her skin mended.

Then this jerk suddenly shows up.

"Oh, I'm not angry. I'm not angry at all, skank." It slipped her mouth that her personal namecall for this guy in her mind had escaped through her lips. She shrugged her bruised shoulders either way, not caring to hold back or not. But since she is tired, she's holding back by a lot.

"Since I can see you verbally on your knees begging me to respond to your utterly insensible abuse, I'll be nice and waste my breath on you.." Now its Tsun's turn to cross her little arms, though its proven to be difficult since she winces a bit by the deep sting of that gash on her arm.

"Yes. Prunes are old people with wrinkly skin, so what? Its just skin. What's your problem in taking it offensively, mister sensitive? If I do turn up to be a prune, by that time you're already 6 feet down under. No matter how pruny I'd turn out to be, I'd be jumping in joy because your tongue had permanently stopped working that time."

Tsun smiled blandly, a little different than her usual smirk.

"Up for more? You better hurry up, I have battle scars to tend, baby-butt face."

[Kouji]

Kouji was right to call this kid a brat. After all she played that role perfectly and that was her new name for him. So he wasn't even going to waste his time in asking for her real name. He was just going to refer to her as the pink brat.

All the insults that she was returning back to him were in his eyes pathetic. "Hmm.. a skank you say? Do you even know how that word is used now- a days?"

He then threw a mini dictionary at her face.

"At the S section of the dictionary there should be the word skank there. if you are talking about when used to describe a female, it is a girl that is disgustingly foul or filthy and often considered sexually promiscuous."

"And I am not a girl. I am a MALE. So a word of caution. since I am feeling generous so don't get used to me in giving advice. You may want to watch how you use the term skank pink brat. Or else...."

Kouji did a brisk turn and with his sword now in hand, and now behind her he gently let her feel the blade against her neck but not harming her. He then continued his word of caution as a form of a whisper in her ear.

"People won't hesitate in giving you a good beating." With that said he slowly removed the blade from her neck and looked at her in the eyes.

"I never beg or bow down to ANYONE. You'd do best to remember that."

[Tsun]

"Ough!" Tsun shrieked when this lady-man-combo actually throws a freaking dictionary to her, right at her face. Her hands automatically caught the book before it fell to the ground, wondering if the skank actually bought this along with him everywhere.

Either way, Tsun snickered at his correction, "Well I'm sorry, skank, I thought you really are a girl who is disgustingly foul and filthy. Why else would I use it?" She held a pleased expression on her face, especially by that crooked smile of hers.

The pink-haired lass however, froze when the man disappeared from her sight, only to threaten to decapitate her if she move a single muscle. With that blade comfortably rested on her throat, of course she froze. One of her nerves did twitched though; her right eyebrow.

Once the guy removed the blade from her neck, and more importantly his breath from touching her, Tsun shivered and wildly began to flip something off her ear, "Ew, ew! You got your skank cooties all over my ear, ew!" She continued to try her best to clean her ear that he whispered to earlier. Such reactions are automatic to Tsun, maybe it's her defense mechanism to not seem scared of this man who could easily and truly cut her head off.

"Geez! I didn't said you would literally beg, I was referring that VERBALLY, as in a verbal-beg, duh! ...Ew, my poor ear.." Now that she's finished rubbing off whatever bacteria that she thought would infect her ear, Tsun planned to throw the mini dictionary he oh-so-gracefully granted to her by doing the same thing, but she's too tired to be her usual active self.

"Skank, we all do respect, but I've already got a beating. That's my life. You blind or something?" She motioned to herself, indicating all her scars and burns, plus her torn clothes. That's when it dawned on her a little too late that the guy is actually close to blind, considering she just noticed he wears an eye-patch.

"..Oh. Sorry, captain skank, I meant that verbally. ...So tell me, you seriously promiscuous? ...Whatever that means.." The little girl even paused to open the mini dictionary he gave her...but having troubles in finding it, of course. Books isn't really her forte.

[Kouji]

"What are you a third grade student that needs her cootie shots? Sorry to say but there isn't such things as cooties. It is just something you foolish kids make up so you all won't start liking the opposite sex. Time for you to grow up. I don't care if you're just a kid. There are some beliefs that you pick up in grade school that is just stupid."

"And you don't read? Then what the hell do you do with your free time? Get people pissed off so that they lash out at you, and you get all these scars and burns? Or do you stick your nose somewhere it didn't belong?"


Kouji was annoyed at this kid. Kids were just big nuisances. His three children were no different.He believed kids take away your freedom away since you have to spend many days in taking care of them. Feeding them and ugh loving them.

[Tsun]

Tsun raises her finger in a matter-of-factly, "Ha, well I AM a third grade student, you blind mice. Roughly," except that she never really went to school. The little girl rolled her eyes as she heaved out a sigh, not another kiddish lecture. She might look like a child, and she might act like a child, but she's not. Not when her mentality is concerned. So is her will.

"Cooties are something I used to describe bacterial infections. That exist, doesn't it? From a skank like you, of course I freaked out, you're dirty," she smirked. She meant he's dirty because he just said the 's' word in front of a child, but that could also mean something else. That something depends on Kouji himself, and how his thoughts processes.

The pink-haired raises a brow as he asked her of her free time. "Why yes, that's exactly is my hobby, thank you for being so kind as to not let me waste my breath," she answered sarcastically, then throws the mini dictionary back at the old man, expecting him to catch it.

"My scars and burns are from a PLANE CRASH, you daft fool. And what happened to your eye? You pissed off a unicorn and got stabbed in the eye by its horn?" Again with one of her metaphors. With her still being a child, most people usually take her words as it is, never the hidden meaning underneath it.

[Kouji]

"WELL MS nosy the eye patch was from a fight that I had with my eldest son. We went at it and his stupid sword poked me in the eye. So thanks to him I'm blind in one eye. ANd if you don't know what that means that means I can't see with this eye. It's all pitch black. I have no eye sight in this eye. That clear enough for you?"

Kouji had no idea why he was wasting his time with some kid perhaps it was because she was easy to pick on.

"Oh yeah if you ever need a choice in careers go join the circus. Believe me you'll have a special act. AN outlet for the audience members to boo you and throw food at you."

With that he began to walk away.

[Tsun]

Tsun paused for a while, actually being considerate enough to let the old man finished his words, and her lips crooked a smirk. Then a giggle. And finally, she erupted a loud round of mocking laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAH!! Ah, that's gold! That's even better than my unicorn theory! Gahahahah~ You got poked by a sword by your own SON?! Oh, my days, your son's the cleverest bastard ever," she mocked, maintaining her laughter just enough for her words to be spoken clearly.

Tsun rolled her eyes at his circus suggestion, "Damn, old man, by your kind offer alone, I can pretty much tell you have a terrible sense of judgment and humor." The little girl grinned as he began to walk off, "Be happy, dear prune. For YOU don't need to go to the circus to have people boo you and throw food at you~"

She ended her chain of insults with a low bow, before spinning away with her back facing him to go inside the building she meant to enter earlier. Now, her mood is slightly better, thanks to the old man, as much as she doesn't want to admit it.

"Thank you, your rotten personality made my day," she said out loud without turning to the guy, and entered the Herbal Healing with a self-satisfying smirk.
