Maximous Grande's Story

The job had been easy, the owner had even left the keys in the car, but Kimiko still felt bad. It looked new like, shiny paint job and unworn leather interior new, so she guessed the owner had spent big bucks on it. In the back of the mind she scolded herself. ~You had no choice, You had to get out of that town. They were the ones who made it so easy.~ She sighs and refocuses her eyes on the road. Noticing that she seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and that she actually hadn't seen another car in a while Kimiko flicked on the headlights and continued to drive.

About an hour later something in the trees caught Kimiko's eye and she slowed the car, eventually coming to a stop right next to a somewhat narrow dirt road. Smiling she laughed to herself softly. ~Perfect, I was running low on cash anyways. I'm sure that there has to be something valuable here... if it isn't just a camping site...~ As she thought this she turned and drove a little ways up the path, stopping where the trees ended. Looking up the hill, Kimiko's eyes widened at the mansion before her, shock and awe painting her features.

Despite her best judgment, her excitement getting the best of her, Kimiko found a concealed path to the house, starting to walk around it slowly before spotting an open window into what looked to be the kitchen. Smiling Kimiko easily hoisted herself up into the window, sliding through and dropping to the tiled floor with an almost silent thud. Looking around Kimiko scowled at the mess in the room, not being able to tell a wooden spoon from a silver spoon with all the muck and grime.

Setting her small backpack down she slowly started sorting through the filth, throwing out trash and sorting valuable utensils from plain ones. Doing so as quietly as possible she also put the other dirty dishes in the sink, thinking to herself. ~This place is a disaster! Either no one's been here for a while or the owner's a slob!~ Having salvaged a good amount of the silver utensils Kimiko grabbed her bag and put them in before moving to go into the next room.

After a few steps into the next room the lights flicked on and Kimiko jumped back with a soft yelp, bumping into a table from the temporary blindness. At the same time she dropped her bag, it landing on the hard-wood floor with a loud clang. As her vision adjusted Kimiko came face to face with a tall, bluish-blonde haired man who stood before her. Her eyes widening a little Kimiko tried to take a step back, the result being her bumping into the dining table once again.

Silently going through some papers with Max, Akito sighed leaning back into the couch. "Max, doesn't this ever bore you? I mean what's the point in going through all this crap? It's just bills...." Akito wasn't one to particularly care for bills or payments. That's what Max was for, but they had so much, that he couldn't handle it all on his own.

It was kind of late and Akito was starting to become moody, his personalities started to slowly change. After the day is gone. normally his good side of him, vanishes and out comes the more....different side of him. Like two different people in one body. It was just how he was, specially after the accident a while back. It changed everything, his looks, his attitude and his arua .

After reading over everything and signing the rest of the papers, Akito glanced over at Max, for as long as he known him, he had always been such a pretty boy, it was a shame that he was set out to be straight. Taking off his glasses, he rubbed his nose fame and messed up his hair just slightly, to get it out of the neat look, that he wore all day. "Damn Aki and his dressing so neat all the time, it really is a pain in the ass to get out of all this."

Aki was what akito always referred to his better half. During the day, he was called Aki and at night, it was Akito. Ever call Akito aki, it will be the end of you...it never turns out right when someone does. You think he was in a bad mood at first, just cross him and wait and see what happens.

Throwing off his sweater and unbuttoning his first few buttons to his white shirt he relaxed a bit. It was hot wearing that thing, Akito never did understand why Aki always loved to be so warm and decent looking. Always business with him. Unlikes him, Akito kept it simple, nide shirt and loose pants, but not so loose.

Say...Max...-He was about to say much his stomach growled. "Screw this and let's eat something. Getting up from his seat he stuffed his glasses into the pocket of his shirt and stretched.

It was a long day and even though his body felt tired, he wasn't. One of these days he was going to have to make aki, sleep more during the day and less time spending it on work. It got boring having to sleep every night and not do anything for Akito's side that is. But then again, who knows what akito might do if he did have the free time...it was scary to know.

A smile rose to Maximous's mouth as he eyed the girl up and down. "My dear you are looking as lovely as ever. I am so very grateful you showed interest in this job. Things can get a little crazy, and its good to know there's someone else here besides myself who can help out." Max's voice was low, cheerful, yet calm. "I realize we may have already been introduced, but not quite properly." He strode toward the woman and gave her a gentleman bow. "I am Maximous Grande, and I look forward to working with you. Just watch your step around here for me, alright?" He chuckled and turned.

He clapped his hands together and smiled at Kimiko. "If you'll follow me i'll show you to the doors of the three trouble makers here. Then I will escort you to your room so that you may grab some shut-eye. I imagine its been a long trip, hmm?" Another small chuckle escaped the man. He turned causing some of his Bluish-blonde hair to fall into his field of vision, and after quickly pushing it behind his ears he began walking.

After escorting her to the west most side of the building he pointed to a blue door with the name 'Akito' on the front. "This is one of our friends here. Akito Deviantart. I much enjoyed meeting them, and I hope you do the same. I'll try not to spoil anything for you. Something you will like to know is when your with Akito always be alert, and always have a small pillow on standby." He spoke that so casually as if there was so much to spoil. He chuckled as he turned and escorted them down more hallways to the east most wing. He finally approached a black door with the name 'Mariya Santioa'. He turned and smiled once more at Kimiko. "This is our dearest Mariya Santinoa! A wonderful doctor and quite the introvert. If she ever starts yelling at you, back away." With that he turned and continued on to the upper floor and the middle of the house. He pointed to a green door labeled 'Shinya'. "This is Shinya, don't let Shinya ever try to perfect you." He smirked and nodded. He brought a hand to gesture further down the hall until they found a door labeled 'Yuudai'. "This is Yuudai's room, He's a very lovely musician. You'll have to have a listen sometimes, but if you do talk to him try not to be," He brought up air quote. "Cheerful."

He moved next to the woman and placed his hand on her lower back. "But you must be tired, no? Come let us get you to a shower and some rest." He finally brought the woman to the lower floor and to a door just next to the staff room labeled 'Haruka'. "Seems miss Haruka didnt show, but I am sure that works in your favor, no?" He chuckled. "I will be with Akito for the rest of the night, contact me if you need anything my dear. Remember, don't go anywhere you shouldn't be at night." He chuckled and grinned at the woman. "You'll get one chance with me." He stared down at her with cold eyes that spoke the words 'move and you'll be in worse trouble than the police'. He dropped the key to the room in her hand and with that he turned and headed toward Akito's room.

After opening Akito's door her smiled as he saw Akito already frowning at the papers. He moved to a seat right next to him and silently began. He watched Akito lazily begin his taxes as well. Max chuckled warmly at the first question. "Just bills make it so that you can stay here, and tedious they may be doing them in a bad mood wont finish them quicker." He hummed something sweet as they worked so as to lighten the mood. Max was working silently when Akito started talking to himself. This just made Max smile and nod continuing on.

At the idea of food max couldn't agree more. "Why don't you take a break for a bit to eat something Akito? I will eat after I have finished my share." He nodded at the boy. "On a side note, you should really meet the new house woman. She's quite pretty, and I hope you two can get along. In other words," Max's voice grew firm for a moment. "Don't scare her off." With that he silently got back to work.

"Why don't you take a break for a bit to eat something Akito? I will eat after I have finished my share." He nodded at the boy. "On a side note, you should really meet the new house woman. She's quite pretty, and I hope you two can get along. In other words," Max's voice grew firm for a moment. "Don't scare her off." With that he silently got back to work.

"..Yeah yeah, whatever you say. Just so you know, I don't want her in my wing of the house. If she stays out of it, there will be no problem with me....That is unless Aki chooses otherwise." He mumbled the last part and in the middle of that there was a loud scream, coming in the direction of the first floor.

Instantly, he knew right away as to whom that scream belonged to. "Tsk..dammit." Akito punched the wall's doorway frame as he rushed out of the west wing.

It took him a second to look through the house. First hitting the living room and then the kitchen. And after all running all the way inside the main house. "..Mariya..what happened?.." Trying to hold his panting back he rushed over to her, helping her sit up as he knelt down on the floor.

No matter what personality Akito was in, when it came down to Mariya, he would always act different with. Carrying, concerned, gentle, and once in a while babying her. She was a very special friend of his. And he took her being near to heart. He would have done it with Max as well, but Max was a guy and less fragile like Mariya was. It was completely different, least in his heart it was.

Softly taking her by her hand so she wouldn't fall he placed his other hand ontop of her head to make sure it didn't crack open or was bleeding. Thankfully it wasn't, but it did start to form a slight bump. "Love, if you needed anything....why didn't you just ask. Even if it's something stupid, ask for help, you know I don't mind."

Sighing softly he picked her up into his arms. She was as light as a feather to him, it was like picking up a small animal, she was soft too with a little squish to her. He lifted her to the countertop at the island and sitting her down. Letting her go he reached inside the freezer to get some ice into a cloth. Offering it to her with a small gentle smile on his face. "If it still hurts in the morning, let me know. But for now, it's just a bump."

He didn't leave, instead he turned to sink, washed his hands and started to make her the sandwich that it looked like she was trying to make. After finishing it, he tried to cut it in half but ended up making one side bigger than the other. Unlike Aki's perfect triangled cuts, Akito was a bit, ' I don't care and am too lazy' type.

Giving it to her he grimaced a bit at how it looked. Maybe that was why she didn't ever ask Akito for much help, maybe that was why Aki was easier to talk to or ask. Oh well at least he did it and helped her. Well helping her wasn't much of a choice. his feet moved before he could think.

He laughed softly, shaking off the thought and gave her the most softest smile that he could give at the moment. He knew that she struggled, just like he did, but maybe even worse. No, it probably was worse than him, but at least he could relate to it in some ways.

Handing her the plate he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back against the counter by the fridge, with his eyes closed. he waited for her to get done, so that she wouldn't have to walk alone to her bedroom. It was late and even though t was in their house, it was still dangerous at night. The house was huge and what lived under it, was worse. Akito was the only one who knew of it. Aki had an idea of it, but it never crossed his mind that it was real. Which was the reasoning behind the MindLab.

Aki was the mind, Akito was the Alien.

"I understand, that you are more than capable, but still,....It'll put both of myselves at ease, if we knew you were alright."

His brow started to frown once he heard foot steps. That had meant that someone else was coming and to ruin his relaxed mood byu talking to Mariya. It wasn't that he wanted her all to himself, it was more like...Akito hated the world. It was hime VS the world. The only people he let in where Aki, Mariya if that, and Max sometimes. Still akito had his secrets like everyone else did.

It wasn't long before his eyes slowly fluttered open, locking eyes with the dark red haired man. The guy was tall, but just an inch shy from Akito, though the guys hair that spiked up, made it look like they were even in height. He also had some what of a strong hold about him and even though he was a guy of the arts, he still had that bad vibe.

Akito stared at him longer than necessary, sure the guy was good looking and the man was invading Akito's space right now, even the sight of another person got him in a bad mood. But something about him, made akito stare longer than intended. But when he caught himself doing so, he Tsked under his breathe and his once soft eyes were now cold and almost in a glare, specially after the guy had asked a question towards Mariya at Akito as if she wasn't even durable to respond for herself.

And just as he was about to crack out in a rude reply. She opened her mouth before him.

"I'm fine. Thanks for your concern.." It was a lie, even Akito could tell without her giving it away, he of all people knew, she was far from fine at the moment. He had watched as she slipped away from the countertop and placing her things away, but paused to frown at Akito. He didn't miss it, not in the slightest.

Unsure of why the frown was, it sort of angered him a bit, but he bit back his anger and kept himself composed. Thinking he must have been in the wrong some how for that frown, he stepped out of the way of the fridge and started to head out. "Im leaving.." The tone in his voice was cold and sharp, his face might have been composed but his voice wasn't hiding a thing.

Pausing just slightly he mumbled to Yuu for his ears alone. "Make sure she gets to her room safely." His eyes were threatening, but when he meanted her, his voice went a little on the soft side.

Skipping his midnight snack he headed straight out of the house and into his wing of the place. He had noticed Max was still there doing papers, so instead of heading to his bed, he laid himself down on the other couch and closed his eyes, throwing his arm over his face and his other on his chest, one leg up and the other foot rested on the floor. "You should get some rest Max...Tomorrow is going to be a big day..

Max had heard the screams, and watched Akito run out of the room. He knew he need not bother with moving from his spot. He'd seen how these guys bounced off one another. He couldn't remember a time when they were seriously mad at one another that he couldn't fix. Max looked down at his papers, he'd finished his share a long time ago and had started on Aki's share. "Honestly.." He mumbled an ran a hand through his blueish-blonde locks. It looked like Aki had hardly started on his own share.

Max sits there working, and collecting his thoughts. He probably should go check on those guys soon, before they blow something up. He shook the thought away, he had to learn to trust them every now and again. He'd never given any of them his full trust, but he was being more lenient than normal lately. Max shook his head and tried to clear his thoughts so he could work faster. He went back to silently running his pen against the paper, and he'd nearly reached the end when he heard footsteps down the hall.

"You should get some rest Max...Tomorrow is going to be a big day.." Max heard Akito chime in behind him as he came back to his room.

Max turned and smiled. A small chuckle escaped the mans lips. "Is that right?" He turned back around and picked up his pen and collected the papers. He stuffed them into his inner suit pocket. "I'll just hold onto these and finish them up tomorrow morning." He gave a tired wave to Aki as he left. "Good night my friend." Max found himself stumbling into the hall way. He'd had a headache. He stopped in the hallway. He looked to the lower floor, with the kitchen. He shrugged as he decided to grab a glass of water and an aspirin. Max whistled on his way to the kitchen, so as to alert the others of his precense. He'd recently been trying to test this, so he would not startle anyone. He stopped as he hear movement in the kitchen. He stood in the door way and crossed his arms. His whistling ceased as he made his way into the kitchen.

He walked past Yuudai, and then past Mariya. He silently let them go about their conversation, interested in what they'd have to say to one another. Max reached up and grabbed the large glass he'd kept at the top of the shelves for himself. He went over to the sink and poured his water from there, he'd always done this and people thought he was weird for it. He silently sipped from his glass, his back to the two scientists. A small, worn out smile rest upon his lips as he listen.

Kimiko, though confused, followed Max around the house for the tour, walking quickly to keep up with the blue-haired male. Impulsively memorizing the info as it was told her, Kimiko matched doors with names and made note of all the entrances and exits. As they come to the last door Kimiko looks up at him as he speaks.

Seems miss Haruka didnt show, but I am sure that works in your favor, no?

As he chuckled Kimiko tenses, realizing he knew she wasn't who he had been expecting.

I will be with Akito for the rest of the night, contact me if you need anything my dear. Remember, don't go anywhere you shouldn't be at night. You'll get one chance with me.

Taking the key he handed her she unlocked the door to the room and slipped in silently before turning and relocking the door behind her. She then goes around the room to see if there were any windows or a second door, needing a good escape plan for tomorrow.

---

At the sound of a loud scream somewhere else in the house Kimiko swears under her breath and goes to double check that she had locked the door. ~Only an hour or so... Then I can sneak out when everyone's asleep again.~ As she paces back and forth across the room she tries to start thinking of an escape plan but, while being locked in the unfamiliar room, the only images that pop into her mind are memories from her foster homes. Thinking about her old life Kimiko sat down on the bed and stared at her hands intently, a firm frown on her face and her eyes glassy and emotionless.

Standing there staring down at the sink Max let out a sigh. Collecting his thoughts he had to wonder what he was going to do about that girl. He had no clue who she was and needed a worker. She had to work for him, and Max would make sure of this. Bringing the glass to his lips, Max tilted his head back and let the rest of the contents slide down his throat. Letting out a breath of satisfied air after he did so. He set the glass into the sink and rubbed a hand on his forehead. He was tired, but he had to see to that girl. That's when he heard the sound of trouble enter the room. Shinya came into the kitchen. Max sighed once more and turned. Seemingly unnoticed by a few, he strode up to Shinya's side. "Do not cause trouble here, get what you came for and go. I'm far to tired to separate you guys tonight." He walked passed him, but not before patting him on the shoulder.

After that Max made his way to the foyer, and stood before the front door. He shuffled something in his pockets and finally pulled out a box of cigarettes. He's stopped long ago, but lately he was thinking he could go for a smoke. He stuffed the carton in his right pocket and statred out the front door. After exiting, he'd slowly and silently close the front door behind him. He'd wait for the girl to make her escape, he'd do some thinking here. If she escaped through the back, he'd be notified. Especially since he locked it. Besides he left the front door unlocked on purpose. He place his hands on the railing just outside the front door. He stared off into the darkness that wasn't lit by the lights surrounding the building. Something beautiful, he looked up at the cloudy sky. The moon almost completely covered by dark clouds. He'd hope there was no storms. Being trapped inside with that bunch was scary enough already.

Max once again reached for his cigarette pack. He stared at it. I don't need it, but it'd be nice. Like an Advil, a very addictive Advil. He shook his head and set it on the railing beside him. "Honestly, what a week its been." A long sigh escaped the man after mumbling those words. He opened the pack and stared down at the many cigarettes in the back. He wouldnt light one. He picked one up, and turned it about in his right palm. He set the carton down and brought the unlit Cigarette to his mouth. He let it rest there, feeling slightly better. Even without it lit. He decided to wait with a quiet mind, until that woman showed up.

Akito listened as Max left the room, leaving him now alone to continue with his thoughts. Tomorrow would be a new day, but it was a new day that Akito had always dreaded upon. Aki might not be wake when Akito was out, but when Aki was out Akito always remembers what is going on with him, all throughout the day, and when night falls, Aki sleeps and Akito has full control of his body.

Tomorrow, the Headmaster will be taking his visit upon us. In a way he was happy that he wasn't the one going to have to deal with him, but Aki will be. The Headmaster is another way of saying, he is the top. Once in a while he would show up at night, just to meet me, Aki's 'second half'. It was only due to because Aki never remembers me, but he always has faint memories that I really do exist. He, The Headmaster, also owned all of us, My two selves, Mariya, Yuu, and Shin. We're like his little lap dogs, or should I say human experiments. All but Max who was just hired by the guy to manly look after myselves, but he is also meant to manage all four of us and what we do, I guess in a way he is meant to make our lives easier, yet we never treat him like a butler or ask too much of him.


It was getting later, or should I say earlier than expected. Nearly 5am in the morning now. It was amazing how time flies. Akito had fallen asleep managed somehow to fall asleep in his bed for once, he was doing experiments all night long in the Alienlab room, his mind was lost, he didn't want to think about why Mariya could be mad at him, he didn't like the thought of her frowning at him and not understanding why. To ask would be above himself.

When Akito woke up, he was now Aki for the day. The thing is with these two, is the only way they would switch is if one fall asleep and lets the other control the body. That's how it worked. But it was only sometimes that Akito would force himself to take over no matter what, yet he only seems to do that whenever he is protect Aki from something or someone.

Rubbing his head, Aki slowly got up from the bed, the early morning light that tried to rise up to the sky had peeked it's way through his windows to say good morning. Hanging his head over his knees, he slowly started to unbutton his shirt a little. Slowly getting himself up in the morning, doing the daily morning due abouts. It wasn't until after the show that he felt himself truly wake up. I t was icy cold this morning, but that was probably due to it being too early of a morning.


After he was good and ready, dressed neatly and properly, he finally put on his glasses, though there was no point in the glasses, he had 20/20 vision, but he just liked to wear them for some odd reason. Grabbing some files and a few journals, Aki headed down to his first floor to his wing and walked outside and into the main building, to where everyone else had shared a living quarters. He took it upon himself to buzz the morning Alarm. Allowing everyone to wake up and it also told them that the Headmaster would be showing up today early morning.

Aki made his way into the living room, setting his things onto the table. It was something everyone had to do, bring their books that is, they had to make a report of everything they had or did in the past last time they seen the Headmaster. Aki was one of the very few who always ended up with a load of reports. Mostly half of them were locked with a book lock, so no one would get inside them, but Akito and the Headmaster, not even Aki or Max could get in to them.

Now all that was left was to wait on everyone to show up.....

OCC: Ash I hope you can stay up a few hours cause the time skip xD

IC:After a while of sitting there Kimiko eventually fell asleep, her legs still hanging off the bed making it obvious that she had fallen asleep while sitting up. At the sound of the alarm Kimiko jolted awake and looked around, starting to panic when she doesn't recognize her surroundings of a large, almost empty room with windows that show a view of the forest . After a few moments the events of the previous night return to her and she jumps up and goes to the door, unlocking it and peaking out into the hallway. Seeing no one Kimiko recalled the path to the dining room, remembering that was where she left her bag, and started that way moving as quickly and quietly as she could.

Once she had reached the dining room Kimiko looked around for her bad, a frown on her face when she didn't spot it immediately. Dropping to her hands and knees the young, light-pink haired girl crawled around the room, looking for her bag. Remembering that she had kicked it under the table she moves to the table and yanks two of the chairs away, sighing when she sees her back pack. Smiling Kimiko reached forward and grabbed her backpack and the stuff that had fallen out when she had kicked it under the table. Shoving the items back in Kimiko closed the bag tightly and went through another door, sighing in relief when she found it lead to the kitchen.

Moving to the back of the room Kimiko tried to go out the back door but paused to find it locked and looking to the window she came in through she found it closed and locked as well. Swearing under her breath Kimiko turned and moved through the kitchen and into the dining room but stopped at the second door. Peaking out into the hallway and seeing no one Kimiko slipped out of the doorway, making sure it shut softly behind her and then she tip-toed down the hallway.

A moment too late Kimiko realized that the hallway was actually a foyer and that it connected to the living room and stepped in only to see the other person she had 'met' the night before. Jumping back behind the corner Kimiko sucked in her breath, hoping he hadn't seen her before realizing that his back was turned as he was setting down books on a table. Wanting to use this to her advantage Kimiko crossed the space from her to the door as quickly as she could and, after glancing to make sure the man in the living room was still turned away, opened it.

As she did the door let out a loud, squeaky groan, drawing the attention of not only the young man but also Max, who was standing on the porch, seemingly waiting for someone... ~Me~ She thought to herself with a groan as she glanced from Max to the other young man nervously. ~He was waiting for me.~

OCC:The last part can be edited if you decide Max went to bed @Ash

OOC: Its fine Souls. I'm good. Just had to get some tea in my system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max couldn't believe the wait all night. He'd long since threw the cigarette he'd had in his mouth away and onto the ground at his feet, still cold and as it was when he pulled it out. Max stared at the sun rise, the tiredness getting to him. He ran a hand through his messy hair. The dark bags under his eyes making his eyes feel heavy. He was about to call it in for the night when he heard a familiar sound of the door opening. This brought a smirk to his face. He stared at the girl, and offered her a cigarette from the pack that was in his hands. "So, I was right." His voice was tired and rugged. He wiped his free hand on his face.

He irritatedly stated at the woman. "I'm bigger than you, so I will give you two choices. You stay here, have a life, possible friends, and my permanent eye on your back." He narrowed his tired eyes at her and strolled up to her. "Or you go to jail, and I make sure you get punished for a lot more than just stealing. I feel the choice is obvious, but if that's not incentive enough let me make it simple. You will get payed for an accident, and you'll get a room, hot meals. All you have to do is clean, and what ever else I tell you to. So give me your answer," He growled and stood over her, he dropped the cigarette pack at their feet and stared down at her, with evil eyes. He wasn't normally mean, but she made him wait. She upset him by accident. "Or do I need to make that call to the police station? Answer wrong and you'll be gone, I am irritated, tired, and not in the mood for games. Oh, I wouldn't bother thinking about accepting then trying to escape another time. I'll make sure you stay put, and earn your days worth." He practically spat those words.

He felt the sun begin to rise, feeling the head on his back. He realized that he probably looked a mess, with an undone tie, an open black vest, messy platinum blue-blonde hair, bags under his eyes, and un-tucked shirt. He looked pretty intimidating and crazy himself, but all he wanted was for her to agree. So that he could get some sleep. He was so tired he could sleep for a week, but he'd only let himself have two hours of sleep. For now. He continued to glare daggers at this petty thief, hoping her answer would be the smart one.

As the blue-blonde haired man offered her a cigarette she quickly shook her head and took a step back after looking him over. ~Wow he looks exhausted...~ When he speaks she looks back up at him to listen, obviously having no choice in the matter.

I'm bigger than you...

being the next thing he says Kimiko's eyes flash with rage which quickly vanished as he moved closer to her. Taking a few steps back quickly she continued to listen and then looks down at the pack of cigarettes, that was now on the ground, before looking back at him.

Or do I need to make that call to the police station?

After flinching from how close he was she stiffened as he spoke those words and she bit her bottom lip and looked away. Once he had finished Kimiko sighs and drops her bag at his feet and nods. "Okay fine. I'll go grab my stuff from my car."

With that she drops the keys from the car she stole into his hand and walks around him, heading in the direction of the car. Grabbing a box of her belongings and a duffel bag full of clothes Kimiko heads back, dropping the stuff in her new room. As she goes to get the next load of her stuff she frowns and stares at the ground. ~He might not call the cops but what happens when they find me on their own...~ With a sigh Kimiko starts making up a fake life story in her head, as she usually did when she went to apply for jobs, to tell Max. As she was setting down her second box in her new room she paused, momentarily considering telling Max the truth. As she turned to go back on the third trip she shook her head and spoke, meaning to talk to herself in her head but accidentally speaking out loud. "Yeah, there's no way. If I told him the truth he would call the cops for sure." Realizing her mistake Kimiko quickly looks up from the box she was carrying and whipped her head around, checking to see if anyone was close enough to have heard her.
