((thanks! ) "I do not kill because I wish to. I kill because I have to. And if you don't try to kill me, there is no reason to murder you." She looked down at him. "And I know that that's what it is: murder. I never wanted to kill. I never even liked the sight of blood, as Katsu knows quite well, but in a world where peace can't be achieved? In a world where it's kill or be killed?" She paused. "I couldn't survive just as prey for the others. I had to do something."

Seijiro slowly stood up. "Then why were you attacking that girl?" he asked her quietly. "There was no harm in her." Seijiro noticed that slowly, Otonashi and himself seemed to be getting closer.

"Because I'm an assassin, and she'd seen one of my jobs. I didn't know who she was, what she looked like, where she came from, how she liked her soba. All I knew was she might be a potential threat. My needles weren't meant to kill or even hurt. They were meant to scare." Otonashi found herself moving towards Otaka, but she quickly stopped herself.

"Even if someone saw, what does it matter? All they saw was a woman with a mask," Seijiro argued. He stepped slightly closer to Otonashi.

Otonashi remembered Katsu behind her, and she quickly stepped backwards. "Precisely. There are very few female Hitokiri and fewer that wear a red and black mask. And there's only one that has white hair. Knowing this, she could have figured who I was, and used it against me." Otonashi advanced on Otaka. "And what of you?" she asked, trying not to look at his eye. "Why attack someone who might be on your side?"

Mitsuhide walked into the rather crouded bar. Noticing a woman talking to a man outside the window. He sat by a near by table. "One Sake please..." He said as the femal waiter brought him a cup of steaming sake. He took a sip, wathcing the conversation going on outside. He held his blade close to his waist. Wonder what that mand and woman are talking about? He thought to himself. Eyeing them off with his night black eyes he took another sip.

"I attacked you to save an innocent girl's life." Seijiro stated. "I didn't particulary wish to fight you." He moved slightly closer. Their faces were barely an inch away now. His hand slid down to hers. He raised her hand to touch his maimed eye. "I fought to sace an innocent girl's life, no matter what the consequence," he said.

Otonashi recoiled at the feeling of his maimed eye, but she didn't completely snatch her hand away. Not yet. "So you're willing to risk your life for someone you don't know?" she asked, noticing for the first time just how close they were together. "What else would you do for someone you don't know?"

Otonashi exhaled slowly to keep control of herself. "Anything?" she whispered to Otaka. She found it hard to believe they had met such a short time ago. "Anything at all? That means, if someone asked you to cry, you'd cry. If someone asked you to commit suicide, you'd have to. If someone asked you to kill me, you would?"

"If I found it acceptable, I would certainly do it," Seijrio clarified. "If it was against my beliefs, then I would not. If someone asked me to cry, I would, because its not wrong to cry. If someone asked me to commit suicide, I wouldn't, because there is too much hurt to be healed in this world. If someone asked me to kill you...." Seijiro paused. "I could not do that even if I wished to."

Otonashi didn't know what to say. "What?" she wound up saying, taking the sarcastic route. "Not enough pay?" She slid her hand from his.

Seijiro looked at Otonashi. She was cold, but that was just a facade she hid behind, just another mask she wore. "Nothing to me is ever about pay," Seijiro murmered. "I just couldn't....I will never kill you, Otonashi. I just met you but....I feel different when I'm around you," he whispered.

Otonashi stepped away. "I can't have those sorts of feelings," she told him. "It makes things too complicated...." she trailed off. Suddenly, she whipped the mask off. "Just remember what I look like, okay?" she said to him. "Just remember that!" She backed away. "I can't stay with you."

(Your mask was already off....) Seijiro looked deep into her eyes, memorizing every detail. She would never be his, and he knew it, but he still longed for it. Wordlessly turning, he walked away.
