Fall into Ashes

[InsaneTruth]

Kai calmly watched as Sage tried to find the words to say. He just smiled when she spoke and he pulled her into a kiss "I can't risk you," he told her softly "You can yell or hit me whatever you like, but I can not risk you out there,"


"Ok! lets do truth or dare first!" Kat said


"Anything to kill the boredom," Kevin said.

 

[Ricia]

Sage was tense at the sudden kiss, she loosened up lightly, but not a lot. Kai was close to her and she could still feel his breath. She hated when he sounded so romantic... He was always the romantic one in the group of them. "You think I can risk you?" Sage asked him just as softly. She lost a lot of her fight when Kai didn't yell or struggle back at her. "I saw it Kai.. I saw them tearing into people. I can't let you go alone. No, I won't let you go alone." Sage shook her head a bit and tried to push Kai away from her, "I know I can't stop you from leaving, but you can't stop me either."


Libby puffed up her cheeks when Kat avoided her.


"Use a dagger to spin." Rick suggest.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai didn't let her push him away instead he ran a hand through her hair "and what of Kat? what will he do if he looses us both?" Kai asked her "he doesn't have anyone, no job other then this one. He needs you to stay alive and well. Though I tell you I have no plans on dieing just yet," he told her still just as calm.


"Ok! come play hotpants!" Kat told him.


Kevin laughed that name was ridiculous.

 

[Ricia]

Sage laid her head on his chest, though it almost felt like she head butted him and her hands balled into fists. He was playing her. Kai knew what buttons to hit to get his way. He knew what he had to do to keep her from doing this. "You said so yourself.. it... it is safer in numbers... if you won't risk Kat or I... take one of the other? Please Kai...." Sage said in a soft beg. "If you don't, I will follow you Kai. If I follow you... Kat might very well follow me."


"Fine... " Rick said getting up and then sitting down in a circle. Libby sat down as well and crossed her legs.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'll take the long distance walkies," Kai promised her and pulled her into a hug. "I'll come home safe to you." Kai was not a big man but he was taller then sage. "I promise," he told her.


Kat spun his dagger and it landed on Rick "Wow Rick truth or dare!?"

 

[Ricia]

Rick sighed, this was dumb. "Truth?" Might as well, he didn't feel like getting up and doing much.


Sage seemed like she was thinking about it. Thinking if a walkie was really ok. She bit her lower lip ask Kai pulled her closer to him. She bit her lip to keep from crying. "Take Edmund... a walkie is just asking to get your location given away.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"And in this mess who pray tell is trying to locate me?" Kai asked her "I am sure right now zombie intel is planing a sabotage against me. Even the undead have it out for me in this age," Kai joked lightly. He knew she most likely ment the nose a walkie could make but a light joke could inhance her mood "I'll take him, if it means that much,"


"Ok! how often do you have sex!?" Kat asked

 

[Ricia]

"7 months ago before I broke up with my girlfriend." Rick said unamused.


Libby giggled a bit at Kat's question.


When Kai looked at her, Sage was pouting, but he knew it did enhance her mood because she was no longer in pissed mode. She stayed in Kai's arms, a bit more docile then usual. She was proububly in shock too. "If you don't think Edmund can keep up... take one of the new kids. Hell take Rick." Sage looked up at Kai, "But yes... it is that important...I just don't want you to have no one to have your back.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I want your word you and Kat will stay safe and together," Kai told her "because even if you have to run if you are both together I will find you both, and neither of you will let the other get hurt. I would be lost without you and you know it," he held her softly. "I'll ask for a partner to handle the rear but you and Kat will stay here."


"Wow... no wonder you are grumpy," Kat giggled "If you like boys," he smirked suggestively.

 

[Ricia]

"No." Rick said abruptly before leaning forward and spinning the dagger. Libby blinked, maybe Kat wasn't dating Death.. but if Kat liked boys when they possible had a fling? May he didn't answer because they use to have a thing and don't anymore?! Libby wanted to know the mystery.


Sage sighed and looked up at Kai, "Ok... I'll stay here. I'll stay here with Kat as long as it is safe. And if this place gets attacked, we'll stay together. We'll stay together and wait for you. but we will stay safe first and foremost." Sages arms stretched around Kai before hugging him tightly. She felt like she was holding on to him for life.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"thats all I can ask of you," Kai told her softly. He kissed her head and brushed her hair out with his fingers. He was gripped with fear this would be his last time holding her.


Kat pouted cutely and the point of the dagger was to Kevin. "Truth," he said not knowing what sort of freak Rick was

 

[Ricia]

Rick sighed before leaning back a bit, "What did you want to do with your life?" Rick asked Kevin. "Surly you weren't aspiring to be an expendable grunt your entire life." Libby frowned, that was harsh.. kind of uncalled for. But she couldn't deny they were grunts... expendable went a bit too far.


Sage closed her eyes and stood there with Kai for a good while. She still wanted to fight him.. but they were both so damn stubborn, this was as good of a compromise they were going to get. Sage run her hand along Kai's side before letting out a depressed sigh, "I should start cooking before people come looking." She told Kai. Sage looked up and leaned in to give Kai one last kiss till who knows when.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai kissed her back and let her go, "Lets go see how they are doing," he said menaing Kat and the others.


"Geeze, I wanted to be in the military," Kevin said "Marines," he told Rick. Crossing his arms "but I can't because I have a bad rep because I killed a man to protect my mother,"

 

[Ricia]

"You said earlier you've never killed someone." Rick pointed out nonchaluntly.


Libby didn't even realize it.


"I have to cook, but you should proububly check." Sage said before turning to go about picking some things to make lunch. she was going to try and stretch food as much as she could.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Keven glared. "Why are you so good at listening?" he sighed "on paper I killed a man, but I was a juvenile so I wasn't charged fully and it was self defense...." he wasn't going to outright say it. His mother killed her abusive husband and he took the blame.


"Alright," Kai said and walked back out to see a very annoyed looking blonde glaring at Rick.

 

[Ricia]

"Why are you so bad at lying? Idon't care who you have or have not killed. Just don't lie... because lying will get you killed." Rick told Keven before pointing to the dagger, "Your turn."


Libby was holding her breath.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm just an expendable grunt remember hotpants?" Kevin said but spun the dagger only for it to land on Kai. "Oh look I get to ask boss truth or dare."


"Truth obviously I do not feel like doing anything stupid," Kai said and sat down.


"What made you want to lead this life?" Kevin asked


"The thought of one day killing my father in a slow and painful way," Kai answered not skipping a beat.

 

[Ricia]

Rick sighed and shruged, when Kai answered, he gave a quick look at everyone else to gage the reation of the room. Libby looked a little shocked, but really should she be so surprised?

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat already knew this so he was pretty relaxed still Kevin was shocked and so was Edmond. "Really? you all didn't guess this by now?" Kai asked with a sigh "to think I have been trusting such naive people with my life," he spun the dagger to have it land on Rick again.

 

[Ricia]

Rick glaned at Kai, "Truth. Because I'm to lazy to get up right now."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"What made you turn to merc work?" Kai asked looking at him cold blue eyes a calm expression Kai looked older then his age sitting there so calmly.

 

[Ricia]

"I was born in it." Rick answered simply. "You can't run from it. I tried." Rick then spun the dagger again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thats right, when you are in, you can't ever go to a normal life." Kai actually sounded sad for a moment. The time as children when he Sage and Kat would play. Even then Kai was never innocent of the world. He briefly wondered if he would have been better off like Sage poor and naive.


The dagger pointed to Edmond. "Dare," the elder man chuckled "else this will just be a game of truth,"

 

[Ricia]

"Really?" Rick asked with a sigh, "I don"t know. Do a tripple back flip or something." Rick waved his hand lightly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"What a thing to ask a man my age," Edmond said but bound by the rules of the game he tried only to fall rather comically.


Kat laughed "You ok?" he asked


"Ah all but my pride I supose," the elder man said
