Decision Time (open)

[Rosey]

Rosey laid in her bed all night staring at the ceiling of the tent she was in. Her eyes had a hard time tracing the folds and stitching presented to her in the dark as she laid there thinking. Thinking about whether or not she should stay here.

Morning came and even though she wasn't greeted by subtle light of the sun rising, she had gotten use to the fact that cycle of the sun seemed non-existent here. She quietly got up and looked over to her friend who was sound asleep on the other side of the tent. Her went to the ground where Hatulan would sleep in his sleeping bag but he was no longer there. She thought that he was probably somewhere else in Heaven bothering someone and a slight grin was on her face.

She walked over to her things and began putting them away in her bag, trying to keep quiet so that she didn't wake Yoki up. After she got everything in her bag, she went over to her bed to make it up. The whole time she went over the decision she was making, wondering if this is what she should be doing.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

"What are you doing?" Yoki said after she woke up from hearing the strange quiet noise in the room and seeing Rosey up earlier than usual. She noticed her bag by the door, packed and ready to go. A feeling of uneasiness went over her, "You're not leaving me again are you?"

She didn't understand why she was leaving and it seemed that she was going to leave without saying good bye too. Tears began to well up into her eyes as she jumped out of bed to jump onto to her friend, destroying the process of Rosey trying to make up her bed. "Don't go, don't leave me. Was it something I did or said? I swear I didn't mean it."

[Rosey]

Just as she was done with the bed she heard Yoki's sleepy voice and she froze.Normally, Rosey wasn't the type to feel guilty about her decisions but after hearing the youkai question her she started to regret what she was doing.

She took a deep breath, though Yoki jumping onto her caused her to expel any air she tried take in prematurely. She struggle to get out of her friends death grip and to get her nude body off of her. Her friend didn't sleep with close on because she felt uncomfortable in them, like she was being contained. Rosey didn't mind as long as she stayed off her or her bed; she always felt weird when she tried to hug her without clothes on.

"Dammit girl, get the hell off of me." She managed to push her off of her and brushed her self off. "I'm not leaving because of you. You didn't do anything wrong besides jumping on me while you're naked." She wondered why she would always think that something was her fault but she figured that it was because of her dad disowning her. Thinking that made Rosey glad that she didn't have any parents to treat her like that.

"Look, because this place isn't for me, that's why I'm leaving." She finally said, looking down on her bed that was now a mess again.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

Yoki fell back with a soft a thud onto the ground. She wasn't concerned about the pain though, the thought of her friend's sudden decision to leave was on her mind. "This place isn't for you? What happen to you wanting to be in the army when you were a little girl?" Yoki got up brushing herself off and stared at her intently.

"This isn't like you, you know. You wouldn't be sitting here taking the easy route because the other road in the fork looks like its too much. I thought you like a good challenge. That was one of the things I admire about you." She sighed remembering what happen yesterday. "You weren't force to leave were you? Because of what you did to Gin? Perhaps maybe I can talk to him, you know smooth things over with him so you wouldn't have to leave."

Yoki went over to her chest and started to pull some clothes out. "I'll go now to speak with him so you don't have to worry about a thing." She spoke as she put on the clothes she grabbed which was a plain white t-shirt and and grey sweats.

[Rosey]

"NO!" She shouted at her friend but felt bad about it. She was only trying to help even though it wasn't necessary. She let out a sigh before continuing, "No, you don't have to do that. Gin gave me the decision to leave or stay. I just thought that I should leave to a place thats more suited for me."

She went back to trying to fix her bed again, trying her best to feign like she was too busy to talk any more.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

"'Leave to a place thats more suited'? What are you talking about? Didn't you tell me that you made the Queen allow you into the army because you wanted to be a fighter? And now you don't want to be one any more? I can't believe you." Yoki placed her hand on her head and shook her head. She went back to her bed and sat down before she started talking again.

"If I didn't know you, I would think that you're scared by what might happen if we were to go into war. But I know thats not like you, you told me that you felt like you're only purpose was to protect the Queen and her Kingdom, so what would you do if you're out of the army?" She put aside the clothes she held in her hand to place her hands on her thighs, waiting to hear Rosey's response.

[Rosey]

Yoki struck a cord and Rosey stopped what she was doing. She start to feel confused about her decision now. She started to think about the conversation that she had with Gin yesterday, about how she explained to him about why she wasn't there with her army during the last battle between Heaven and Hell. She wondered if this would be her second chance.

She turned around to face her friend with a grin on her face. "Scared? Why would I be scared? I've been given a second chance and I'm taking it."

She walked out of the tent, the morning sun greeting her seemed different than any other morning. She walked off towards Gin's tent to tell him her decision. She planned on leaving before anyone was up just to avoid people's reaction towards her decision. She wasn't even going to tell Gin but since she made her mind up to stay, she thought that she should tell him to get it out of the way.

She approached Gin's tent flap and thought about whether or not if he would be up this early. Perhaps she could just barge in and be typical Rosey, however she stood there with a finger to her chin in thought.
