Running Where

Kurureenu smiled slightly toward the offer and nodded. "Yeah..." she responded quietly.

She needed some time to herself. Even if some stranger was a little ways ahead. After all... Her father died. She hated him, more than she would ever know, but she still loved him. She still worried over him when he had episodes or started to overdoes. She still cried when he was spending nights in the hospital or just missing. The anger she had when he came home with more was the pain that he didn't change his ways. Not even for his own daughter. All the way up to the very end.

Then there was Scotty. Kurureenu inhaled sharply, the image coming back to her mind. The fire wasn't an accident. Someone murdered him. She clenched her fists, feeling a sharp sting of rage.

I will return the favor... Just you wait.
 
Rune nodded. "Alright Ku" Rune smiles softly as he walked a little more away giving Ku her space as he thought about all that happen in one day as he sighs. He met a cute girl then moments later save here from a couple of guys then was told the girl was bad he sighs again looking down at his feet. *WHAT DO I DO!!* he thought to himself as he ran his fingers through his hair feeling a tad stressed.
 
Kurureenu was lost in her thoughts before a sound in one of the alleys startled her. She let out a gasp and quickened her pace, catching up with Rune and grabbing onto his arm. She glanced back toward the alley with a frown.

"I heard something move," she told him, slowly releasing her grip. "It scared me. Sorry..."
 
Rune was walking when he felt someone grab his arm as he looks over seeing Ku holding his arm causing him to blush a tad. "It's alright Ku it doesn't bug me plus I'm sure it was just a stray cat or dog" Rune smiles softly trying to reassure Ku of what the sound was as he heard it as well.

Arron was driving down the city streets as he pulls up to a huge tower as he stops he gets out as he looks up at the tower. "Geez the old man going to be pissed at me" Arron spoke softly as he was still a tad pissed off that Ku got away from him. Arron walks into the main lobby of the tower as he looks around the lobby had painting and lavish stuff every were. "Geez old man Zeff sure has a lot of shit" Arron spoke as he walked up to the front desk as he saw a women sitting at it. "Aw my sweet lovely Angel how was your day today?" Arron spoke as he grins
 
Kurureenu nodded slowly, feeling the heat in her cheeks. "I'm sorry about that," she muttered, gesturing toward his arm. "Just a force of habit, I presume... It's really dark." She glanced away, mentally chiding herself. You had to mention you're afraid of the dark, too? Fucking idiot!

Angel chuckled, not looking up from her work as Arron entered and spoke to her. "A lot better than yours. I heard what happened," she responded, closing the book and turning her full attention to Arron. "The boss isn't too thrilled with your failure right now. Good luck."
 
Rune chuckles softly. "You too and here I thought I was the only one afraid of the dark" Rune laughs softly as he reaches in his pocket pulling out a small flashlight turning it on. "Here use this" he smiles softly as they walk down the alley.

Arron sighs softly looking at the women. "Dammit I was hoping he wouldn't have heard, but I guess lighting a fire doesn't go unnoticed" Arron chuckles softly. "Thanks for the luck my dear Angel" Arron smiles softly as he walks past the desk taking the main elevator up to the top floor as he walks out seeing a big door as he was about to knock. "Come in you failure" spoke an older voice as Arron sighs softly walking into the room as there was a big desk and behind it was an older man in a wheelchair wearing a suit. "Hey boss" Arron spoke.

"So let me get this straight you burn down a porn store and for what the girl" Zeff asked as Arron was about to speak, but was cut off. "Yea.."

"Yeah what you dam shark what if she were to die then what hmm then I wouldn't get my cash or at least put her to work in one of my underground clubs" Zeff spoke as he starts to cough.

"Take it easy boss or you might die" Arron spoke

Zeff glares at Arron as he presses a button. "Angel come up to my office" Zeff spoke into a speaker. "I'm putting a leash on you Arron"
 
Kurureenu was relieved that Rune had a flashlight. She was unsure if he was actually afraid of the dark as well or not, but she shrugged the possibility off. "Are we any closer? I think my stench is making me want to puke..."

~

"Yes, sir," Angel responded over the intercom before standing up and clicking her way over toward the elevator in her heels. By the time she made it to the top, her long black hair was tied back in a high ponytail and her blue eyes was sparkling with amusement. She walked into Zeff's office and smiled toward her higher up. "You called, sir?"
 
"Yeah in fact there the door" Rune smiles softly as he points to it and walks over holding the door open. "After you Ku and yeah let's get you that shower as fast as we can" he laughs softly

"Angel I want you to be Arron's leash so you'll be by his side from this point on and if you both fail me well trust me when i say you don't want to know I'm I clear?" Zeff spoke.

Arron sighs softly. "Crystal sir" Arron spoke as he looks to Angel. "Well leash ready to go home?" he chuckles softly
 
Kurureenu scoffed, entering the building as Rune held the door open for her. "Whatever," she grumbled, pulling at the dirty tank top. "If I had a bra on, I'd already be stripping on my way. This reeks."
 
"Well I'm up a couple floor" Rune spoke as he walked behind the other as he walks in front of the other showing her the way to his place as he goes up the stairs to the fourth floor as he gets to his door and gets his keys out and unlocked his door opening it. "After you"
 
Kurureenu glanced around the floors of the building, climbing up the steps cautiously as if the mafia would be waiting for her along every corner. You need to calm down... They don't know where you are now. she thought as he opened the door to his apartment and let her enter.

"Thank you," she murmured, walking inside to see a rather tidy living room. "I expected it to be messier in here... I don't know why, I just did." She shrugged off the thought and walked further into the apartment. "I'm taking that shower!" She walked back to the hallway, turning one way before turning around and going the correct way.
 
Rune laughs softly at Ku's comment about thinking his place would be messier. "Okay the showers down the hall and to the left" he smiles softly. "While you shower I'll look for some clothes for you to use" he smiles as he walked towards his room
 
"That's awesome!" Kurureenu yelled over her shoulder before walking into the bathroom and closing the door behind her. She quickly shed the dirty clothes, flinching slightly from the bruising on her back. The woman didn't waste much time before she was in the tub with the hot water going. She sighed, leaning forward against the wall and letting the water flow over her. I guess it's not all bad that guy showed up. she thought with a small smile as she glanced around at the choices of soaps.
 
Rune opens his closet as he sees a big orange hoodie with Psyche ward on it as he chuckles softly. "She'll love this" he laughs as he takes it down and places it on his bed as he goes to his dresser taking out black sweat pants. "That should do" he laughs softly as he gets the clothes together as he walks to the bathroom. *What I'm I doing?* he asked himself. "Being helpful" he smiles weakly as he reaches the door knocking on the door. "Ku I got your clothes mind if I set them in there?"
 
"Mm... Old Spice, the soap of men," the woman mumbled before hearing her name being called and smiled slightly. "Go ahead!" she called out of the shower, waiting for the open and close of the door as she lathered the soap. She glanced out of the shower after the clothes were dropped off to see where the were put before returning to her duties. A thought struck her and she froze in her spot, a sense of dread coming over her.

She quickly finished up the shower, hopping out and toweling off before donning the borrowed clothes. She ignored the ache of the bruises as she slipped on her shoes and walked out of the shower, heading directly for the door.
 
Rune placed the clothes down as he left the bathroom as he was going to get the living ready for Ku as he heard the shower stop as he saw Ku get out of the bathroom dressed and trying to slip on her shoes and getting ready to leave. "Uhm Ku were are you going it's to late and not safe out at night alone" Rune spoke
 
Kurureenu stopped for a moment as Rune spoke to her. She clenched her fists angrily before spinning around. "How do you know my name?" she screamed. "I didn't tell you what my name was! I didn't want to tell you what my name was so you didn't get involved! So how do you know my name?" She shook her head, the mix of anger and terror starting to make her shake.

"Are you the reason Scotty is dead? Are you in with them?" she asked angrily. She can feel tears, hot and angry, on her cheeks but ignored them as she remained focused on Rune. "Is there money in it for you? Maybe they promised you a piece of this ass once they broke me." She scoffed and spun back around toward the door.
 
Rune watched as Ku blew up in anger at him as he had no idea he was the reason why her place caught on fire or the reason why Scotty died. "I know your name cause one of those men that were chasing you this morning dropped a picture of you and I guess it was your name on the back of it. Rune went to the table grabbing the pic as he walks to Ku handing it to her. "Here you go Ku and I don't know what kind of trouble your in cause you won't let me help cause your scared I get that, but at least stay the night here you can leave in the morning I'll wash your dirty clothes while you sleep"
 
"I'm not scared!" Kurureenu hollered, falling to her knees and sobbing. "I can't be scared... The mafia is after me. I need to run away..." She reached up and wiped at her eyes with the sleeves of the hoodie. She ignored the tenderness of the bruising still on her face from being pistol whipped. After everything that happened that day, all the anger and fear and so on, she was breaking.

Dad is dead. Scotty is dead. The mafia are after me and I have no where to go. I don't even know what to do if I walk out this door. she thought, covering her face with her sleeves.
 
Rune watched as it seems the other was breaking as he walks over kneeling down hugging Ku close to his body. "It will be okay Ku" Rune spoke softly holding Ku close to his warm body as he raises one hand up petting her hair. "Just get some sleep and you'll be fine you can have my bed I'll sleep on the couch in the morning you can leave if you still want to"
