Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Bullying. That was a trigger word for Sakuya. Well, she hadn't really been bullied. But she had been pimped by her mother. She felt like she could open up to Jaelyn a little more. Her mind, as she listened to Jaelyn, she realized that this beautiful flower was very poisonous. She could be dangerous if anybody made her angry. Sakuya knew she could endanger herself at this rate. She needed to placate her and be on her good side even more. "That's terrible, I don't know why anyone would want to bully you... But... At the same time, I kind of... Well, it reminds me a bit of... myself, as well." Sakuya tried to give Jaelyn a hug. "I can understand you, somewhat. I couldn't claim to know you perfectly, of course, but... I know how it feels to have people want to distance themselves from you because of your actions. Whether it was in self-defense, or whether it was justified... People didn't care, did they? They got scared... That's terrible. I'm sorry."
Yes.
Sakuya had, when she was younger, hospitalized several kids around her age at the time by going on a berserk frenzy, swinging the bolo she bought. Some of the injuries sustained by those students still probably haven't recovered fully, even until now. She knew how it felt to have people get scared of her.

So, Sakuya had most likely been through something similar. Well, it made sense. Nobody simply chose to kill for a profession. Even Jaelyn, with her upbringing and her sheer lack of ethics, shied away from the thought of doing it herself. It took a certain kind of person to go down that path, and they were usually made, not born. Would that be where she would end up eventually, then? Once her own, personal constraints finally melted away, would that be her future?
...She didn't want to think about that at the moment.
Jaelyn accepted Sakuya's hug with no resistance, and soon wrapped her arms around Sakuya as well. Yes, as long as there were people like Sakuya around who didn't care about it, Jaelyn's past didn't matter. Even if the only friends she could get were fellow outcasts and dangerous or crazy people, she could see herself being fine with that. They were the ones she would relate to most, after all. And as for Sakuya, Jaelyn didn't want to let her go any time soon.
"No, they didn't care. But it's fine now," Jaelyn said. "Even if I wanted to go back there, I couldn't afford to. So all of that's behind me now." She sat in silence in Sakuya's arms for several seconds, before finally coming to a realization. "You know, for the first time since I moved here, I can really say I'm happy to be in this city."

Sakuya felt Jaelyn's arms around her own form as they ended up locking into a hug. Sakuya gave Jaelyn reassuring, gentle pats on the back, stroking it like someone who truly did genuinely care for her. Sakuya was, for the first time in her life, glad that she didn't have to resort to underhanded tactics to be able to get this far with someone. Let alone someone she had only met just a couple of hours ago. She didn't care anymore if something went wrong. It was all worth it. Sakuya had no regrets. She would do what she had to do if it came to that. Hopefully, it would never come to that. Jaelyn stated her agreement; that they didn't care. Yet, she said it was fine now. She even said, that for the first time since she moved here, she was really happy to be here.
"I'm glad... I'm glad that you're happy to be here," Sakuya said, still hugging Jaelyn. "After telling me those things you said, it's no wonder you've been feeling so down since you came here..." Even as a Shadow, Sakuya had desired to place the seeds of comfort and pleasure within those she had her eyes on - in this case, it was girls. It was a part of her very being. And even so... it was definitely a losing move to get on her bad side now that they've gotten THIS far together. In just the span of a couple of hours.
"Just relax... and take it easy." Sakuya kept her arms around Jaelyn. "Let me be here for you."

"Mmm," Jaelyn said. Sakuya was half-right. There was still the matter of her own apparent worthlessness. But even that seemed far less important than it had before. And her past? All of a sudden, it seemed like she really could just leave it behind entirely. What happened from then on, she'd just have to take as it came. But one thing was certain. She wanted to stay close to Sakuya.
"Just relax... and take it easy. Let me be here for you."
Under normal circumstances, that would be asking far too much of Jaelyn. Trusting people was nearly impossible for her. But after everything that had happened, everything Sakuya had done for her in the last few hours, Jaelyn almost felt like she could do it. It was a risk, but as the evening had progressed she found herself gradually more and more willing to take it. From 'if something happens there will be hell to pay' to 'I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but if anything goes wrong I can still stab her' to 'she's done good to me, maybe I can spare a little trust' to 'can I come home with you'. And now, this. "Trust is hard," Jaelyn started, turning to look Sakuya in the eyes from mere inches from her face while still not letting go. "But...I think I can do that. I'll be counting on you."

Sakuya did not really know Jaelyn to her innermost sanctum, that would probably be impossible. But she did know and WAS familiar with the things that Jaelyn did divulge and release to her. It was, indeed, a major feat if she could get this beautiful rose's trust. At last, Jaelyn did admit, that trust was hard, though she said she was willing to try. And that she was counting on her. "I'll do my best, Miss Jaelyn," Sakuya said softly, her eyes, as strange as they seemed, appeared to look back at Jaelyn in a deep, intense way, but one that betrayed her creepy nature. "I'd like to see you happy." Sakuya's arms lowered down a bit, so they were around Jaelyn's waist. However, she didn't let go. Still holding her tightly. Keeping her in this warm embrace.
It was an incredibly pleasant change of pace than what she was used to.

Jaelyn found Sakuya staring right back into her eyes as she proclaimed that she wanted to see her happy. Jaelyn didn't care about any ridiculous notions like getting lost in someone else's eyes, but there was still something enticing about Sakuya's gaze. And...just a little bit unsettling. There was something just so slightly abnormal about Sakuya's gaze. Something vaguely familiar to Jaelyn. It was how she imagined she looked when she was interested in someone and had them in her sights. She thought back over everything that had happened during their date. How Sakuya had come on very strong at first, and only backed off upon noticing that she was in a bad state. The immediate willingness to be her friend, the frequent use of pet names, the sheer fact that Jaelyn was now in Sakuya's apartment, in her arms... Had this been Sakuya's plan all along?
Well, even if that was the case, everything else she had said and done seemed to be genuine. Sakuya's gaze didn't make Jaelyn feel any less safe or comfortable in her arms. Rather, to her, it just confirmed how similar the two of them were. And if Sakuya was trying to win her affections as well as her trust, then...well, her affections were much more easily given. So it was with no reservations that she closed her eyes again, then leaned in the last few inches to press her lips against Sakuya's.

Silence.
Just the two of them, looking wordlessly at each other, their faces only inches away from each other. Sakuya, deep down, admitted that she didn't expect things to go this quickly. However, she most certainly wasn't complaining. As she looked at Jaelyn's eyes, she could feel a sense of attraction, it seemed definitely unintentional, yet... Sakuya could see herself in those eyes. Of course, the two were different in some respects, but they were also eerily similar in others. She could definitely see that they both longed for acceptance, albeit for different reasons. Sakuya was more concerned with the physical aspect, though of course, she knew how relationships worked. They didn't work if it was always one person giving or one person taking. It WAS give-and-take. Though, she wasn't sure how Jaelyn exactly saw it. Regardless, the warm embrace soon began to work its magic.
Jaelyn closed her eyes and pressed her lips against Sakuya's. The latter responded similarly, her eyes closed, reciprocating the motion. Soon, Sakuya's arms stroked Jaelyn's back, rising up to embrace her head.

Ahhh, this was perfect. Sakuya's lips felt so soft and warm against Jaelyn's own, and her embrace was just as comforting as ever. Jaelyn felt Sakuya's hands slowly stroking their way up her back, eventually settling behind her head. Perfect for the position they were in. She held the kiss for several more seconds, reveling in the blissful feeling of it all, before finally realizing what she'd just done and pulling away.
"Sorry, umm..." Jaelyn said, searching for the right words. What the hell was she doing, already going that far? She had gotten used to rushing relationships in the past. They never lasted long. In fact, some of them had only lasted the one night, or less. So she had gotten into a mindset of trying to do as much as she could before they fell apart. And the impression she was getting of Sakuya, of her wanting exactly that, had helped to move things that far along so fast. But she also seemed like the type who Jaelyn would be able to hold onto longer. So why was she rushing? For that matter, did Sakuya even mind? "Was that too fast?" she asked.
Post by Sakuya Kyoudou on Feb 27, 2014 4:16:35 GMT -5
Jaelyn pulled away after seemingly basking in the seemingly unreal, almost romantic moment. Sakuya too, felt the warmth, the tingly feeling, sensation, of being able to commit this display of affection, to someone who wanted to do so. It didn't matter who Jaelyn really was anymore. Whether she'd end up doing Sakuya harm. If it made Jaelyn happy, Sakuya didn't care anymore. Soon, she seemed to make a comment, asking Sakuya if it was too fast. The honest answer was that she didn't care. "To be entirely honest with you, honey... You might think it was fast. And by conventional definitions, you'd probably be right... But... I don't mind, Jaelyn. You and I both know that we shared a blissful moment together."
Jaelyn had pulled back, but Sakuya wanted to keep her held...

She didn't mind. Maybe that should have been obvious from how Sakuya had so readily reciprocated. But Jaelyn had to be sure. And now that she was, she had no more reason to worry about it. That moment of bliss...she wanted more of it. She leaned back in for another kiss, letting Sakuya hold this one for as long as she wanted. No reservations, no concerns about going too fast or doing too much, nothing short of needing to take a breath or Sakuya's own will would break this one. It was only when she was finally let go that she would speak again, saying in a soft whisper, "Maybe we should rush in a little more, then."
Post by Sakuya Kyoudou on Feb 27, 2014 5:18:09 GMT -5
Sakuya smiled, embracing Jaelyn again for another kiss. Did it matter if it went too quickly, for that matter? That was really a moment that she had never experienced before in her life, or one would suppose, her 'un'life, so to speak. Something so charged, something so... passionate. This time, it was held for a bit longer. Sakuya wanted to prolong this moment for as long as she could. It meant a lot to her. I wonder... if things that weren't really humans... could really love? Maybe... Maybe we're just more advanced. Yet... How could a human stir such emotion from me? Sakuya continued to hold the kiss, keeping Jaelyn close to her. It was only after a few more moments that Sakuya needed to catch her breath, and she slowly parted her lips from Jaelyn's. "Maybe we should rush in a little more, then." were her words after that moment.
Sakuya smiled warmly. "Then, I suppose you wouldn't mind that I only have one bed in my bedroom~?"

Those two things, needing to breathe and Sakuya's will, came at almost exactly the same time. As they slowly parted and Jaelyn spoke, she found herself needing to take a breath, but still she thought that it had ended too soon. But there was more to come. Sakuya confirmed that when she asked if Jaelyn minded that she only had one bed. But of course she wouldn't mind. She'd already passed up the offer of a sleeping bag. Thinking back, she realized that on some level she had probably already known that things would go this way.
"Not at all," Jaelyn answered, returning Sakuya's smile. "Care to lead the way?"
Post by Sakuya Kyoudou on Feb 27, 2014 7:44:26 GMT -5
Sakuya smiled warmly, standing up and outstretching her hand again to Jaelyn. "But of course, madam~" Once Jaelyn took her hand, or if she decided to stand on her own, Sakuya would begin to lead the beautiful girl to her room, which was behind a plain, non-descript door that was closed. The room itself had darker walls compared to the rest of the flat, it had an almost velvety-look to it, as there was a large dresser next to a queen-sized bed with red sheets. An unlit candle stood on the dresser. In one of the corners of a room was a chest which was locked. This would contain the... instruments of pleasure, tame as they were in this flat, that Sakuya kept with her. Sakuya would continue to lead Jaelyn inside, gesturing towards the bed.
The chest was also actually easy to spot from when one entered the room.
"I hope it is nice to your eyes~"

Jaelyn accepted Sakuya's hand, letting her pull her to her feet and lead her away. The bedroom reminded her of her own, in a way. Or rather, it reminded her of what she wished her own room was like. It had a darker appearance than the rest of the apartment, although that owed more to the walls than the absence of light. That, plus the candle and the red sheets on the bed, gave the room a comfortable and inviting look, rather than the dreariness of Jaelyn's room. She also very easily noticed a locked chest, another point of similarity between the two of them. It didn't look like Sakuya was quite as paranoid about whatever was inside as Jaelyn was about her own knife collection, but it was still locked away.
"Very nice," Jaelyn said. It's like what I'd want mine to look like if I could afford it." She made her way to the bed and sat on it, although her eyes gravitated toward the chest again. "So, does that chest contain all of your darkest secrets?" she asked.
Post by Sakuya Kyoudou on Feb 27, 2014 8:08:01 GMT -5
Sakuya giggled. She was relieved that Jaelyn seemed to like the ambience of the room. Yes, Sakuya had the room made precisely so it would look inviting. Sometimes it would get very lonely to sleep in that bed alone. "That chest? Oh, you saw it. Don't worry, there aren't any deadly implements in there," she said, soon sitting next to Jaelyn on the bed and giving her a bit of a nuzzle. "But there are some... Uh, how shall I say it? Toys, in there?" she added a tinge of cheeky mischief to her voice, trying to subtly let Jaelyn know that what was kept in the chest was not, in fact, all of her darkest secrets, but rather, another facet of her core being - when she was overcome with lust and carnal desire, she would... Open the proverbial Pandora's box, so to speak!
