Otomeken took another long drink. "Oki... Look who we're talking about, and I can tell Suoh will back me up on this one, it's Yuki. He's a traitor, he's a coward, he's incompitant at best, he's ugly as sin, and... Akira's told me... He can't kiss worth a damn - don't worry, I washed her mouth out with whiskey too..."

"I don't know if I'd agree with all of that, but he's not exactly my favorite person. If he was worth a damn, it's like you said: he'd have you by now. But something made you hold back, and look at what he's done! He's played sneaky, manipulative on a level I wouldn't even consider. And he's done that to you, which is what pisses me off.
"I'll be honest, when I first met him I had every intention to play him and steal the sharp tongued blonde he was going on about right out from under him, because I'm awesome like that. It didn't work out as planed, but you being related doesn't make me want to see you with him any less."

"I don't think he's any of that, Otomeken, but I do think he's been struggling to find himself. it can't have been easy for him, ending up here the way he did. It's not like he had any choice in the matter!"
Oki didn't want to admit it in front of Otomeken and Suoh, since they were determined to be so anti-Yuki, but she had very much enjoyed the kiss. She found herself thinking about it from time to time, when she let her mind drift, and wonder how things would have been if they were different. Yuki made her crazy some times, yes, but he had also done equally as much to make her happy.

"He could have gone back... I did," Otomeken said rather poignantly - in fact, that was the sole reason she didn't like Yuki, and she wouldn't even admit to herself that it was flawed, or that it was the only reason, and she simply let that poison everything else in her mind about him...
"It's all neither here nor there... We're supposed to be out here to get our minds off of those things... Except for Suoh who's only interested in finding another pair of legs," she added as an aside. "Let's just... Drink up and try to be happy," she said downing the rest of her glass...

"Cheers to that!" Suoh beamed, raising his bottle into the air.

"And have done what, Otomeken? Get killed? He did the right thing in staying here, it doesn't make him a coward for not going out for revenge. Or are Suoh and I both the same for not avenging our parents, our home?"

Otomeken too quickly had the answer for that. "You went back, didn't you? You went looking? You found each other, you picked up where you left off. You didn't give up and sit and do nothing - never return - never look, never try? No, you two are here, together, because you did go back. It took me eighteen years to go back, but I did as soon as I could. Yuki still sits on his high horse, good ol King shit up there on his little hawk. Big ol' genin of the sand... can't even until a rope and scared of little kittens... what a man..."

"Well, that's not all entirely true. I haven't gone back," Suoh replied, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket. "And I didn't come looking for her because I knew who she was; I came because I thought she was one of them and out to try and cause trouble. There's quite a few of us who made it out alive, and a lot of us keep in touch. Some are just wandering, trying to fins somewhere that feels safe. I wanted to make sure they were safe, that's all."

"He's been banished! If he goes back, Gaara will kill him, Otomeken, and then what good has he done? When I went looking for answers, I was trying to find out who I am and how I ended up here. And do you know what I did when I found out about the rogues who killed my parents? I came back here. I had leads, and I ignored them."

Otomeken shook her head. "Gaara wouldn't see Yuki if he didn't want to be seen. You know that as well as I do. The one thing the retard can do is hide... So ask him sometime, Oki... Has he even ever gone back to burry his family?" Otomeken had her mind made up, and no amount of logic was going to sway her at least any time soon... "I... thought we were dropping the subject..."

"I really had hoped," Suoh sighed, lighting his cigarette. "I mean, you're getting awfully worked up over a guy you wouldn't date, Oki."

"I'm not going to just sit here and see him slandered like that," Oki said simply. "Not when he hasn't done anything to deserve it." Oki paused, Suoh's off-handed comment taking her by surprise. "I did date him, Suoh. A little. I just... found something else that I thought I might like better."

Otomeken reached over, plucking the ciggerette from Suoh's mouth and tossing it over her shoulder so none of them would have to smell it. "Not if you even HOPE to get anywhere with me," she said as an excuse, and then picked up on Oki's comment, specifically ignoring the nothing to deserve it' part. "Something you MIGHT like better?" she asked, thinking Oki sounded a little unsure of herself...

"Hey!" Suoh protested, but let it go. It was a habit, more out of boredom, really. He was having more fun bashing Yuki than listening to Oki try to defend him. But Otomeken had said the magic words, so for now he was content to behave himself. He pretended to pout and drank more of his beer, finishing off the first bottle.

"It hasn't exactly be a smooth ride, has it?" Oki asked, taking another drink from her schnaps. "I mean, first he blows a fuse when I tell him about Yuki kissing me and breaks up with me. We get that smoothed over, and then he's whispering in my ear that Suoh's trying to sleep with me." Oki began to tick off points on her finger tips. "He does a whole lot of hinting about what he wants, but when I go to take him up on it? He leaves! Just disappears, like earlier today. And then I find out that he actually was involved with you? Not how I imagined my love life, to be really honest."
