A Change in Style

[Iku]

Iku was irritated. Want to know why? It was a day off. Iku had her day off today. Yes, it was a quiet afternoon to herself. No Tyr, No horny dragon. It was just a peaceful day. And with the summer passing and autumn arriving. It was a relaxing day. So why is Iku irritated. Well it wasn't long after Iku had finally declared it was 'Iku Time' that Ayame had came rushing in crying her eyes out. Why was she crying. Oh Iku knew right away that it was about a boy. Why Ayame cried over guys so much Iku never knew. They were the complete opposite. Iku wanted nothing to do with men, why Ayame was always googling over them

"Why dont guys like me!" She cried on the top of her lungs.

This was only a hunch but maybe it was just how obnoxious she was!!! Iku looked at her clothes. She was wearing the same old same old ragety clothes she wore when she got here.

"Maybe its the way you dress?" Iku said bluntly that's when it hit her. "You should go get a makeover" She suggested. It was the perfect idea to get Ayame out of her hair. So she could go back to relaxing. But little did she know, Ayame had something else up her sleeve.

"You'll go with me right?" She sniffled with her big green eyes.

"Fine" She said with an -.- expression. So here she was sitting in the mall waiting for Ayame to come out. Of course she cant decided what she thinks looks good on her.

"AYAME HURRY UP IN THERE" Iku said getting impatiently.

"Ok ok!" Said Ayame as she slowly came out of the dressing room. Her checks were red as a tomato. And she didnt know why. It wasn't that she was embarrassed in front of Iku. Wearing normal clothes was a bit awkward for her. Her hair was still up in pigtails. She didnt even bother to try taking them out. The thought hadn't even crossed her mind.

"How do i look?" She asked

Iku sighed. her pigtails made the look very awkward. Iku stood up walking up to Ayame taking the hair ties out. Her hair fell down and she looked ALOT better.

"Better" She simply said.

"I dont belive you" Ayame spatted out.

Iku sighed in annoyance. Thats when she pulled a random guy who was passing by and dragged him to Ayame.

"Does she look good to you?" Iku asked out of anger

(Tag anyone!)

[Sven]

Sven strutted aimlessly inside the shopping mall, his lime eyes taking all in as he made his way towards...wherever he's walking to. Some pairs of eyes settled directly towards him at his unusual attire; baggy dust-colored trousers, long boots, tight shirt and vest and one hecka long grey scarf around his neck, semi-floating in a way behind him as he walked fast and steady.

It didn't even hit him that he's inside the women's section when he suddenly got pulled and shoved a question whether this red-haired girl in front of him 'looks good'. Sven blinked. The question entered his head fast enough than normal though, and the blank man just blinked and tilted his head to the side a bit, staring at Ayame from head to toe.

And his comment...

"Yeah. Cute outfit. Crazy eyes." He shrugged, shifting his attention to his right, getting his eyes caught on another thing that caught his interest.

[Iku]

Ayame's face went tomato red. Yes, now she was embarrassed. Though Ayame felt a little awkward with her hair not being in pig tails. But if it looks better, then why not?

"T-t-thank you" For once Ayame was the one being complimented, and it had her in shock, Never in her life would she think she would be complimented. She then looked at the guy,

Ayame was about to speak when suddenly he had his interest in something else. She then turned towards Iku glaring.

Iku had enough of this lovey dovey starring. It was making her sick to her stomach. Just when she was about to leave these two love birds alone. She suddenly felt a glare come upon her. Iku sighed, as she knew now she had to play match maker.

"Would you go out with her?" Iku then continued.

why oh why did she get dragged into this -_-

[Sven]

"Hm?" The word 'going out' rang in his mind for the longest time as he quickly turned towards the one who said those words. He blinked at her, sensing her aura seems familliar but chose to ignore of it, then slowly turns his attention to the other redheaded girl.

He stared at her again, this time with a bit more of his fake interest in his eyes, and attempted a smile. "Sure! As long as she won't mind me giving a lot of attention to the surounding than her." He stated with a small smile.

Sven's a thief. This is a mall. His eyes are severely trained to shift from one place to another at this haven of treasury. Of course, Sven won't mind to have a company or two. His smile widens, almost genuinely towards Ayame. "You have a wonderful set of lively eyes that is sure to capture a normal man's attention while we're strolling. I can be an object of envy, and you can feel more confident of your shell." That comes spontaneously out of his mouth that the thief even surprised himself at that.

"...As long as you can run fast when my hands managed to swipe somebody's purse again." Right on cue after he said that, he hold his right hand up, with a purse in his grip, before turning his attention back to Iku. "Your pet-food again, ma'am, I apologize...again." And returns the stolen object to her, now recognizing Iku was that same girl he once met before.

[Iku]

Iku snatched back her bag from the guy. Ugh somethings never change right? She grumbled. She wanted to punch the guy, but this was a moment she could get rid of ayame. Even if it were only for a minute. A minute of silence would be heaven. Oh Iku suddenly became very hopeful. Yes take her away, Let Iku be in peace!

Ayame smiled as she blushed a bit. Yes this guy was a bit awkward. But he seemed ...funny. He made her laugh. And she was going to bug Iku about it when she got home. Ayame blushed a bit as she then realized he had just agreed to take her out on a date. On the condition that she runs really fast.

"Uh....I.... um..." She stumbled. She really did like this guy. Ayame

Iku looked at Ayame. She seemed.... starstruck... Like what he was saying was actually getting to her. She sweatdropped, This guy was not smooth at all and she likes it? oi, Iku could swear that it was a weird relationship already. Iku could see it now thought. Them being theifs together. Ayame always was really fast and looking for adventure so i guess they fit. Iku didnt even care at the moment. As long as Ayame was out of her hair she was happily content.

"Ok, I'm fine with that" Ayame smile. That took her alot. Ayame was a bit excited. It was officially her first date. Who wouldn't be excited. Iku was going to hear all about it. Yes, Iku thinks she's getting a break but in reality, she just gonna get another ear full. The joy was starting to build up inside, and she was getting a little excited. Ooo she could just imagine the events to happen. Esspecially with someone who was.... like him!

"Where should we go?" She asked with excitement in her voice.

[Sven]

"Hahahah. You have such a sparkle in your eyes when you look so excited like that." Sven let out a hearty chuckle before smiling wide at her acceptance. He briefly turned towards Iku and bows at her slightly, swiftly grabbing Ayame's wrist at the same time. "I'll be kidnapping her for a while." He said simply before dissappearing out of sight.

The sound of the security bar beeping at the exit/entrance of the store echoes inside the shop, signalling Sven must have pulled Ayame outside...forgetting to pay for the clothes Ayame's wearing currently, or he just doesn't care. In fact, the sound of the alarm only further excites him. The guards there are already on their way chasing them, but then finding out they haven't the faintest idea on who they're after(the thieves being too fast), and have to take their time to watch the store's security camera first.

Sven laughed, still with Ayame's wrist in his grip. He slowed down after a while, stopping right beside the Baskin Robbins shop. He adjusted his scarf a bit before smiling down at Ayame. "I'm planning to go the jewellery store, of course. But...in case you want to eat something first..." He trailed off, cocking his head to the shop beside them.

Sven rarely cares about anybody. If he does, that would be randomly. But...

The thief's smile lessens a bit. Apparently, with Ayame's hair loose and after all that running, had made her hair a bit out of place. Sven leaned close, his right hand travelled behind Ayame as he gently ran his fingers through her red hair, like a comb. And his left hand reached for the bangs near her eyes to pull some misplaced strands of hair behind her ear. After finishing that quick grooming, the thief steps a foot away to see how well he did.

"Breath-taking." He announced, giving an 'okay' sign to her with a wink. ...He never did know how his fake emotions are acting up within his actions, all he knows is its automatic. Even if maybe his genuine emotions are within it...maybe.

[Iku]

The next thing Ayame knew she was being pulled across the mall. Of course she followed him for he had her wrist gripped quite tightly as well. The alarms going off, security chasing her. Her adrenaline was rushing. Of course she had no problem catching up. She always ran across fields and what not sometimes faster than light. She always beat Iku, but then again Iku would'nt really race to begin with. Of course Iku was never that much fun to play with just to drive insane because it always worked.

Suddenly they stopped in front of the ice cream shop. Ice cream sounded really good at the moment. Quickly looking around making sure there was no one chasing her and Sven. She sighed in relief that they wern't being chased anymore. When he suddenly offered Ice cream. She smiled "Ice cream sounds good" she said brightly.

She was suddenly cought off guard as he suddenly groomed her. she didnt even notice her hair being out of place, since she was so used to her hair being in a pig tails. But she stood there, blushing. "Uh....Thank you"

Her cheeks were rosy pink, she was somewhat dazed. And hearing him say "breath taking" only made her heart pound. Her hands became shaking, and her palms became sweety. She didnt know how to react towards him.

[Sven]

"Why did you keep doing that??" Sven snickered as he pointed at her pink cheeks, being unfamilliar to women...and their feelings and whatnot. Plus, emotions and feelings is Sven's main flaw after all, whether in expressing it or reading it, he can't do both. His lime-colored eyes hovered behind her to take a glance at the ice cream shop...and that's when his randomness attack starts.

"Most people are alive because it's illegal to kill them~!" He outburst suddenly and loudly with a cheeky grin, attracting some unwanted attention towards them. Then his smile drops, his eyes caught Ayame's. The strange thief then slowly moves in closer to her, scrutinizing her eyes, and they got so close till their foreheads touched. He kept staring at her green eyes sharply, before slowly whispering, "You're different. Your eyes are different. ...But I can't tell what makes it so...bright."

Sven's randomness is a never-ending quest to attain odd stares from others. Though, he doesn't even realized it.

[Iku]

Ayame then started to feel a bit embarrassed. How long had she been blushing. How bad was it? Ayame didnt even really notice that she was blushing. "Uh....Habit?" She tried to play it off. Even though Ayame was never the blushing type she always was the flirtee. Ayame then shook herself. Calm down and maybe the blood wont rush to your face. She then looked at Sven with curious eyes. And thats when he commented her eyes. Ayame turned even more red.

"Um..... Thank you" She said nervously

[Sven]

"Eheheh." Sven pulled away from her forehead and grinned sheepily, a hand scratching behind his head. Really, he never even got this close to a girl before...well, unless he's kidnapping someone to kill them. Though, again, honesty will always be a mystery to the thief.

The green-haired man then pointed out to Ayame's face again, this time truly seeming curious, "See, you did it again. You're even redder." He said bluntly. Sven was never a person to stick around with something for too long, but Ayame had grasp him tight in curiosity. It's not everyday he learn things of emotions...especially about women.

"...Your blood is right under your skin right there! It looks like it's going to burst out... Are you sick?? Do you want me to carry you or something...?" Again, automatic tongue. Never in his control. But, his smile is genuine as he said, "I won't mind at all, really."

[Iku]

Ayame suddenly realizing that she just wont stop blushing made her more embarrassed in her life. But was he really that dense that he didnt know why her checks were red. Anyone bystander at this point could tell that she liked him. But why didnt he get it? why didn't he just get the clue? Maybe this is what Iku means by men are always stupid and clueless? Maybe all it took for her to do is to tell him that she liked him. Ayame then looked at Sven once more.

What the hell is she thinking!!! She cant just blurt out her feelings like that! its only the first date. "Oh I'm fine its just uh.... A little hot in here is all" She said playing it off. 'Nice save' she thought to herself.

[Sven]

"Hot?" Sven repeated, blinking at her twice on how strange that word is to him. It didn't feel warm at all here...and he's the one wearing the scarf. The green-haired immediately stepped behind Ayame, hold her by the shoulders, and gently pushes her to enter the Baskin Robbins with him.

"Then you need ice cream!" He said, still handling her shoulders, pushing her to the counter where the tons of ice creams flavours are on display. "Choose one and I'll steal it for you." He whispered at her ear as he releases her shoulders. He said it so calmly, that it might sounded like a joke.

[Iku]

Ayame never was a big fan of stealing but, she also was a fan of adventure. She then looked throughout the selection of ice cream. The rocky road seem to catch her eye. She licked her lips, because ice cream sounded so good at the moment

"Uh, Rocky Road please" She said looking at him.

Well at least that got the attention off of her blushing. It was somewhat embarrasing.

(sorry for the short post @_@)

[Sven]

Sven hovered his eyes above Ayame as she looks around to make up her mind. He caught the stare of the guy behind the counter too, and counter the stare with his glare. Thing is...Sven's glare isn't what you call a normal sneering glare...because when adding with his lime-colored iris and the his killer aura, his glare becomes a perfectly death-related glare. ...Literally, since he's slowly drawing out his dagger from his belt...

That made the counter guy scampered off towards the back door, to the kitchen. The sight automatically made Sven releases his dagger back at his belt and in the blink of an eye, disappeared from where he stood, and appeared behind the ice-cream counter thing with a smile, right on cue as Ayame mentions the flavor she's interested in.

"Hmm...how do you eat ice-cream again...?" He tapped his chin as he looks down at the flavors, wondering if he ever at one before.

[Iku]

Ayame stared at him blankly for a second. "Um, You can either eat it with an ice cream cone or through a bowl" She said a little surprised he is actually going through with it. Stealing from an ice cream shop. Geez, She would never be allowed here again. Ayame then nervously looked back and fourth. She prayed to god that no one came in the room. Help? Ayame finally calmed down a bit after no one coming.

"You there! what are you doing behind the counter" Yelled a man

'Oh crap' Though ayame
