The fog of the dank alleyways was pierced by the sound of worn Converse sneakers flapping frantically on the street. Dodge ran as fast as she could, her long black hair splaying out behind her in a curtain through the mists. Her already wide eyes were massive searching through the darkness. Her thoughts were jumbled and for the first time in her life she doubted her honor. She had just run away from a deal that was made fair and square.

He shook his head,looking at the ground.'Pride and honour are qualities I'd like my apprentices to have,Dodge.You idiot,don't make me fight you again!' he said,almost at a whisper to himself.He drew his sword,looking up.Sighing,he said,'One: Never run away from a deal,it shows how lowly and untrustworthy you are.Second: Think you took a wrong turn?This /isn't/ the park if you didn't know.and that hiss of yours,I better not hear it,because I bet I can throw swords,too.'He didn't like threatening her,but he remembered the term 'tough love'.That's what his mmu had said when she grounded him for sneaking out of the house at night,and then just sitting on the sidewalk.She said atleast /go/ somewhere when you sneak out,and make it worthwhile.

She simply dodged around him sinking into the shadows and quickening her pace. Let him throw the sword...She'd be back in Snake territory in no time and for once in her life it felt like a haven.

He cursed out loud,rather harshly.It echoes slightly,and he dropped the swords.'Spoiled rotten girls,never understand 'em!God,for once in my life...' he never finished his sentence,but picked up one of his swords,and hurled it at what he could see of the fence,squeezing his eyes shut.'Go back,be a coward.Lose all of your pride,and honour as you make your way back to that place you call home.See if you don't ever see me again,Dodge.To think I /ever/ cared about someone as /low/ as you!'

She stopped in her tracks without even knowing she did. Care? Her mind froze so completely solidly that once word leaving his lips was all she could hear. She couldn't move, she could barely breath. She had never her that word used in that context refering to herself in her whole entire life.

He let out another loud,harsh string of curse words.He quickly jogged to the fence,taking time to pull his sword out from the boards.Sneak sat down with his back against the fence,staring straight ahead into the darkness.'Breathing /is/ necessary,you know,' he said,after a few minutes of not hearing anything.He drew pictures in the dirt,mostly just something silly that someone draws for fun when they get bored.Like faces and stick figures.

She snapped out of her stupor suddenly, "Wasn't I running?" she asked her voice dazed.

'Yeah,but there's a fence and dumpster right in front of you.Feel free to continue running in any direction,though there's a wall over there,and another part of the fence over there,' he said,jamming the stick into the ground./God,spending another hour with this woman will kill me!/ he thought,holding his head up with his hands as he drew his knees into his chest.Sneak still stared straight ahead,and occasioanly at cats or rats.

Her values kicked in right after her senses. She sighed and turned towards Sneak. She kneeled by his feet. "You're right that was dishonorable of me."

He looked up at her,swiping up a rat in his hand at the same time.The poor thing writhed and wiggled in his hand,until he let it sit on his palm.'I have respect for /all/ living things,until they prove unworthy for it.the shocker is,I dont' /care/ about anything.Unless I have a reason to.Animals are an exception,and humans are the exception to the 'animals' rule.I've only /ever/ cared about a few things.One,my family.Two,my tenth grade teacher.And third.../You/(and my highschool enemy).Dishonour is a thing I won't have anybody sink so low to,no matter the person,' he said,dropping the rat.Plucking the stick from the ground,he began drawing off to the side.Dodge had sat on his stick-people he had made before,but he didn't really mind.

"Me?" she said looking down at the ground in shame. She was extremely flattered. "And what have I done to deserve such an honor?"

He sighed,looking up at her again.'First,you put up a nice fight.Most girls squeal,scream,and shout "Ohmygod!Mommy!'.Second,you really /do/ know when to quit when you haven't got any energy left.And just now,you can admit when your wrong.My highschool enemy only like to try and steal my backpack.And then she only ended up with a bruised shin...Couldn't stand hitting a girl back then,and then there was my teacher standing right behind me,too...' he said,almost going to a flashback,smirking.'The good 'ole days!' Sneak said,drawing his stick people again.

'Not really.And you've made your point,your sorry for being dishonourable!No more pretending to care and be sad,' he said,closing his eyes,and throwing the stick at a random cat.It hissed at him,and then ended up in his lap,about two minutes later.He looked like he was thinking,and then said randomly,'Could the street /be/ any more neat?To be;or not to be!That /is/ the question!God Bless the American Assassins.'He started petting the cat,making it purr loudly.It bit his pinky for an unknown reason,and got smacked on the nose,sending it mewing and such all the way to the other end of the alley.

He looked at her,then at the cat.'Take it if you want it, don't feel like taking care of a cat at the moment,really,' he sighed,looking at the stick.He drew with his finger a little house,and then a garden,and then stick people.He looked up again.'Are you really not pretending?Or should we all just come out and say everything?It /would/ be much easier,' he said,looking straight nito her eyes.It was easiest to tel,for him,if people were lying by looking at their eyes,sometimes they won't ever be able to look you in the face,and others they will.He loved using this to his advantage.

Her gray eyes locked apprhensively with his but the were stable and sure. "What do you mean by that? I'm on my knees for god's sake of course I'm not pretending. " Yes, she was still crouched by his feet on her knees her body crumpled with shame and confusion.

'God curse girls and their drama!' he said,mumbling.He looked at her still,and then got up,brushing all the dust and dirt off of his pants and shirt.Sneak looked down at her again sighing./God curse girls and the feeling of being in a stinking novel!/ he thought,brushing another lock of hair out of his eyes.

She looked up at him simply with a smile as the wind made her raven hair swirl about her face. "I apologize for my gender."

'That's okay.Wouldn't care about you so much were you a boy.You'd be dead if you were one,but only because boys in these city areas are so much like jocks,you'd think they were /all/ Highschool Prom King,'he said,sinking back to sit down against the fence again.'What made you apologize,really?'
