HOTSPRINGS THAT ARE LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE OF THE TOWN







*torn and a little weary from his long journy Ryu walkes to the edge of the hotsprings, strips and enters* "Ahhh.. i have needed this for a long time"

the hotsprings were decorated with a handful of casual individuals. The side that men were on - of course Wyvvy's side - only had about 2 individuals. A Large russian coming in not too long ago (Sasha, of course - issue's charrie).

Ame enters the.. um.. woman's area of the hotsprings. fully clothed, funny enough.. all other women that saw her completley freaked, shouted out "AMETHYST!" in terror, and ran off, half still wearing towels.

The baikokudo just fehs followed by a handful of curses. Unstrapping her sword *setting outter robe there as well since it has items in it* and setting it just outside the water.

Once in the water, the woman settles down. Still completely wearing all her clothing. It almost seemed as if she were planning to just have hte water soak off her blood-covered body without hte need of soap.

*hearing the woman shout Amethest made Ryu jumps up in the water*
~Could it really be her.. could it??~
*Ryu quickly dried off and put on his gear and ran into the womans area of the hot springs*
"AMETHYST!... is that really you?"

Ame is stopped from her usual begrudging curses and fehs to glance up at someone who dared to enter the woman's bathroom.

Now Amethyst wasn't like most women out there. Specially since she was wearing most if nto all of her clothing still while in the (now appeared to be) dirtying hotspring water. What with all the dirt and junk that clung to her body now being freed due to the H2O.

However... It was mere instinct. The first thing Ryu should see when entering is that of a large rock bring flung at fast speed in his direction.. "YOU BASTARD! GO TO YOUR SIDE!" Ame's incredibly familiar low alcohalically tained voice responded boomingly.

*quickly brings up his arm and gets pelted with the large rock* "Damn you woman... that really is you... your aim hasnt changed since we last met" *walks into the spring slowly with his arms out to his sides showing he is no threat* " Its me... Ryu... Ryu Kamisori...dont you remember?" *Keeps walkin slowly toward Ame*

"You Asshole. of course I know who you are.." The woman got up out of hte water - her waterlogged robes creating mild waterfalls around her. She first searched frantically for where she put her tachi - which, funny enough, was right beside her on the shore. "You're that jerk who kept hunting Obsid and me down and wouldn't leave us alone. Remember the torturing!?"

However, instead of grabbing the sword, she grabbed an items bucket - filpping it over so the soaps and stuff in it fell out - before chucking the bucket at Ryu.. "Now Get out and wait til I'm done, dammit. Can't I get any privacy at All nowadays?"

*looked around and realized where he was looked to the ground in slight embarasment and looked up at Amethyst again* "I will wait outside the room for you.... it has been a long journey for me, but you can hear about that after you are done" * walks out of the water and over to Amethyst and put his hand on her shoulder really knowing better* " I am a changed man now... i mean no harm to you.. only help" *Continues to walk and waits outside a room leaning against a wall*

Amethyst watches him angrilly for a very VERY long time.. It clear she has bloody murder on her mind. Or at least a chance to break both of Ryu's legs to see how he feels about her afterwards. However, doesn't do much in the way of abuse as he walks up to her, and past her.

'owever..... A murmured, "grrrrrr.." moved through her throat when the man's hand got near and slapped down on the wet surface of her robed shoulder. The feeling, itself, would be like that of patting a wet cloth covered stone wall...

Ryu's words went unnoticed.. But one could feel that she wasn't going to run away or rush out to kill him til she was done bathing.

Bathe, she did. Making sure to soak thurrowly after the filthy man left. Getting her face,body, hair, and robes all cleaned off to the best they'd get (without using soap) all at the same time. Once done, the woman removed her middle robe, squeezed it dry, and put it back on.. along with her outter dry robe and a towel over her shoulders.

After hitching the sheathed tachi back to waist, Ame stepped in soggy sandles back into the waiting and preperation rooms. Stopping once there. But not making eye contact with Ryu.. just the doorway.

*seeing Amethyst walk out of the door Ry thought on how to try to get her respect but instead on kneled on the ground* "Amethsyt .. I am sorry for all of the pain i have put you through.... I really am a changed man... let me go with you... i will repay all that i have put you through with my life if need be" * Bows his head also* "From now on i will aid you , even if it means my life"

She watched Ryu.. expecting him to pull out a sword and come after her at any moment... But instead, the asshole just flopped to his knees and practically begged her to accept him again... it was almost like someone getting fired from a job and kissing the boots of the boss to rehire them...

It was sad and pathetic ~ Ame thought. Though all this sudden attention made her Just for the moment forget Sasha was right nearby in the man's bathhouse (more than likely singing).. And more focus on the Mori/Haya thing.. Then.. Her mind took an abrupt turn after that towards Reiji...

Eyes dark, the woman muttered a most evil, "Alright... Remember Pyro? Er.. Reiji.. the pyromanic?"

*got up on one knee and looked at Amethyst* "Yes.. slightly" *Got an evil grin* "What do you want me to do to him? It doesnt matter to me." *Got up off of the ground and stood practicly at attention waiting for an order with his evil grin still intacted resting his right hand on his swords hilt*

Amethyst tried to draw her hair out a little more.. Searching through stuf that other women left behind when retreating from teh horrible criminal who supposedly kills all in her wake! "First.." her eyebrows furrowed til finally there was a Eureika! moment and she pulls out a hair brush.. Of course.. someone else's hair brush.. "I want you to go to his sakeshoppe and beat him up.. That asshole stole my sake from the teahouse.."

She walkted to a mirror and started brushing her rather wet messy hair.. "I didn't see that it was him... And I didn't even go to the teahouse yet.. but someone told me someone did.. And he's an asshole.. so he did..."

once done brushing hair, Ame took out a hair band and tied it in a low ponytail.. "Then I want to get my sake back.. and steal all of his.. and burn down his place to teach him..... Feh.."

This done, she dried herself off with teh towel more and started to leave the hotsprings.. giving Ryu a sideways glance as if to follow her.. Then out she goes to TheStreets.

*smiles* "That bastard will pay for his injustices done to you, a theif is no better than any begger you can find in the streets and beggers are the reasons for this poor decrepid citys ignorance. They must all pay" * Turns and waits for Ame to leave* ~What the hell am i really doin... it doesnt matter anymore.. i will follow her lead, I owe it to her from all that pain and sufferering i put her through.~
