She...she what?  Asuka blinked a few times, staring at the girl in disbelief.  In all honesty...she didn't know what to say or to do.  Never had anyone offered such to her, even when she was kind and considerate.  They merely saw it as a guise for her supposed sinister intentions, the mask of joy that sheathed the sharp, jagged teeth of the ravenous monster dwelling within.  Her eyes sparkling, her heart beating wildly in her chest she clasped her hand over in a gasp, she could barely manage to string a sentence together, let alone utter just a single word.  [color=ed145b]~"Ry....Ryuko-chan...."~[/color]  She had managed to pry that much from her lips clenched tight, her eyes affixed on that ever brightening smile she beamed towards Asuka.  She sighed, [color=ed145b]~"If...if you wish to be, then I suppose...I wouldn't mind it."~[/color]  A small smile of her own crept across her lips.  A friend....was she deserving of such?  Let alone a cute girl like Ryuko-chan as her friend?

The two had returned to their desk they shared after issuing their death threats to Tohru, the honorable Prince now fuming on the inside with such anger.  How dare they....how dare they try to drag more innocent lives into their macabre plot of assassination.  She wouldn't let it happen again.  She wouldn't relive that pain, that agony that once ate her heart with rotten, festering teeth gnawing into her flesh.  She turned to Rin after Kaname and Yuki had gone, realizing she was being looked at kinda funny, as if the girl didn't want Tohru to protect her, but dammit... she couldn't.  [color=6ecff6]"I know what you're going to say, Rin-san."[/color]  Sternly she muttered crossing her arms and peering down at her desk.  [color=6ecff6]"And no, I won't allow you to fight Yuki-san again, or Kaname-san.  Those two...they don't care who they hurt or kill, just as long as their ill tasks are completed.  I won't stand for it, dammit!"[/color]  Hard her fist came down upon her desk, producing such a thunderous noise.  [color=6ecff6]"I won't let them hurt any more people....because of me..."[/color]

[color=6ecff6][i]Chizuru-chan....wherever you may be....forgive me.  It was my fault you died.  I so foolishly led you into this web of death, and for such...I deserve punishment.  I will avenge you, my love, but the pain of my burden will not cease...until I too leave this mortal coil and ascend to paradise.[/i][/color]
