Who: Kairi Hayakawa and Dark King
Where: Art Museum
When: Pre-Love Shuffle
Summary: Kairi is a gifted artist, but much to her father's frustration it was difficult to inspire her. Until one day, Kairi went to her father and showed him an article on the morning's newspaper. It was about a special exhibit at the museum to showcase Thanatos and other Greek figures. But it was the painting of Thanatos that made her seem fascinated.

"Bring me here."

Log:



[ The moment Kairi's father brought her to the gallery, Kairi ignored most of the paintings. She only paused when she found the painting she was looking for. A pleased smile crept to her lips. ]

I found you.

[ It was a painting of Thanatos and his brother Hypnos. Thanatos was the god of peaceful/non-violent death. It was something Kairi was beginning to have a growing fascination to.

If it was only allowed, she wanted to touch Thanatos's face. Her had reached out, but she pulled back knowing that she wouldn't be allowed.

There was something beautiful about death that inspired her. She felt no fear at all and was inspired to capture that beauty in canvas. ]

Beautiful ...

Comments

[13thfloorking]

...and will always be beautiful.

[ A tall man dressed elegantly with a satin suit emerges from behind her. He carries around a cane with a skull handle which he playfully sways in gentle motion. ]

Such taste you have, milady.

[ he gallantly bows before her as his greeting ]

[kairi_hayakawa]

...

[ He bowed.




It was only when he spoke that Kairi realized that she wasn't alone. She didn't respond ... just looked at him suspiciously at first. For a minute or two, she did nothing else but look at him ... before turning back to the painting. ]

[13thfloorking]

[ He enjoys the fact that her eyes are on him, scrutinizing him like some foreign object. He gives a hint of a smile as if he is telling her, "feel free to look at me." ]

Hmmm...

[ he stops playing with the cane and plants it beside him. His eyes are fixed on the painting. ]

But death is more enthralling in person.

[ he gives out a smirk and now his eyes are fixed on her ]

Those eyes...I would be willing to bear my soul if it pleases you.

[ gives out a light laugh ]

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ Odd. Very odd. That was what Kairi was getting from the man.

Since she now had his permission, she does stare at him a little longer. She tried to read him. Tried to see his soul since he offered to bear it for her. Instead it was like he was trying to read and see hers.

Now she was very curious. He spoke of Thanatos like he was a familiar person to him. Like he knew Thanatos personally. She almost smiled and turned back to the painting. ]

He is here.

[13thfloorking]

[ As soon as she has spoken he gave a smirk like he validates the fact that Thanatos is around. ]

Floundering to come into being...

[ His eyes did not leave her. ]

Such temptations could be enticing and would certainly invite the willing.

[ goes closer to her with his head bent looking at her ]

...and it could be also satisfying.

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ This time ... she does smile, but bent her head to keep it hidden.

Why?

For someone watching them from the outside would probably be difficult to understand. It was like they were in their own little world and they saaw things that people wouldn't understand.

She smiled because she did welcome the temptations.

Slowly, she looked up but her smile was absent and stared back at this stranger. Not saying a word and just staring at him. "Are you like me?" her eyes were asking. Not "Who are you?" but "Are you like me?" ]

[13thfloorking]

[ he was delighted to see her face with those eyes asking him if they are the same. Is he really like her? He is as tempted as she is, perhaps, stronger with desire burning inside him.

His face came close to hers, his eyes staring back intently while his lips curve for a smile of delight]

Yes...

[ He did not remove his gaze at her and the more close he is the more it grows intently. ]

...and it is maddening.

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ Maddening. It was ... but somehow ... almost tranquil as well.

She gives another smile. This time it was a smile that he could see. Normally, a person would shy away to have a person's face this close to hers, but she doesn't. Because instead, she was fascinated by his eyes. They were not eyes she's ever seen before. ]

Pretty ...

[ No. Not pretty. His eyes were beautiful. Like Thanatos. She tilts her head and reached to touch his face ... these eyes could see Thanatos too? ]

[13thfloorking]

[ The feeling of her skin against his face was comforting, his smile lost for a moment as he indulges. He bends his head towards her touch and closes his eyes for a moment as he enjoys her hand on his face.

His eyelids slowly opens as his eyes went back to her without losing its intensity. He smirks to respond to her: He doesn't just see Thanantos, he lives with it. ]

Charming.

[ He comments as he notices her charm over him. It's almost magical to meet someone who is as fascinated as he is. Slowly , his hand reaches to the hand over his face touching it delicately, as if he is confirming she really exists. ]

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ The sleeve of her sweater reveals a few scars still fresh on her wrist. They were not too deep, but they weren't shallow either. ]

Thanatos?

[ Then she shakes her head, her hand sliding back to her sides. ]

No. You're not Thanatos ...

[ She turned to the dark shadow beside them. It was faint, but she could still feel it. Thanatos. This person was not Thanatos. But similar. ]

[13thfloorking]

[ As her had left his face he saw those scars. He knew exactly how those scars were and they were filled with a death wish. His eyes trace the parting hand as he was lost in thought on those scars. His smirk disappears as his focus went to her wrist.

In a moment she acknowledged the faint shadow, his eyes directed to it. He raises his head as he felt a presence too familiar to ignore. His eyes glistened with desire as his lips curved a nervous smile, like he is before his temptress.

He lets out a light shriek of pleasure. ]

Thanatos is always with me.

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ Kairi gives another smile. A smile that some people would interpret as creepy because you can never really be too sure about what she is thinking. ]

Thanatos ... (suki) love?

[13thfloorking]

[ His attention is drawn to her once again. His eyes softened like he is looking at a delicate flower while his hand reaches for her bangs as he parts it to see her face clearly. ]

More than one can imagine.

[ smiles gently ]

And it consumes me... every-time.

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ Kairi laughs and her hand slowly took his. It was rare to find someone who understood her. Always. Always people asked her why she wanted to die and it was a perfectly logical question.

This is the first time someone spoke like he could understand her.

Her father was out of sight and that was very rare. Since her second attempt to take her own life, he barely let her out of his sight.

Without a word, she began to tug on his sleeve as if asking him to follow her. Would he? ]

[13thfloorking]

[ The tug on his sleeve made him feel wanted. She wants to show him something and this action intrigued him. His head bends in validation as his hand motioned with it like offering her to do what ever she pleases. He smiles out of curiosity. ]

As you wish...

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ She leads him up to the roof, where it was surprisingly open. A staff member had probably forgot to lock up after finishing his business.

Kairi was pleased. So pleased. She loved high places.

As she stood on the edge, she looked down and you could see the look of thrill on her face. ]

[13thfloorking]

[ The thrill on Kairi's face excites him tremendously. As she leads him to the rooftop his excitement increases. The curiosity gleamed through his eyes as she showed him the view of the city way up from the rooftop. It's not the height or the view that excites him more. The smell of death that has a thin demarcation of the sight's beauty made him so pleased.

His eyes far off the horizon as it grew darker with desire and let off a sigh of pleasure. It seems like he is ecstatic and perhaps he was a bit holding it in.

His eyes transferred on Kairi who is also delighted at the sight. He slowly goes closer to her and also looked down on the edge like how she did. ]

Hmm...you really know how to please me, dearest. [ eyes on her as the back of his hand touches her cheek. ]

Now, tell me, what do you desire the most?

[kairi_hayakawa]

Desire?

Desire ...

[ While she balanced on the ledge, she actually took her time to consider the question. Desire? For Kairi --- the meaning is the same as want. Was he asking her what she wanted?

She contemplated some more about this. What did she want?

She --- wanted to appease her curiosity. She wanted to see what was death really like and if she came give a beautiful feeling in her death as those depicted in her paintings.

She turned to the dark shadow that flew to her side. ]

Thanatos ...

[13thfloorking]

[ Hearing her reply, he realizes she's certain. She's lovely, pure and fragile. Qualities that makes him very fond of something the most. His eyes stared through her eyes and sees her desire well: Thanatos. ]

Very well.

[ He stands up and takes her by the hand. He had this warm smile on her face as he is inviting her onto something. ]

Do you want it so bad? I can give it to you.

[ smirks evilly ]

[kairi_hayakawa]

[ She thought about it. Actually thought about ... because it was much too fascinating an offer to refuse.

His smile was also very coaxing. She wanted so much to say yes --- but something stopped her. ]

I can't.

[ She gave a look of disappointment. ]

Promise.

[ She made a promise to someone. That she wouldn't die or take her own life. At least not yet. ]
