<span style="font-style: italic">"I wish...it would make things more simple. But the envelope I found my mom hiding was water ruined. I only was able to make out the city...here...and Italy. I have the letter he wrote...and it did have some sort of symbol or seal thingie on it. But it was too messed up to be of any use. If I stay at your place...I would like to cook your meals...it will make me feel like I'm doing something to repay...your letting me stay there."</span>She replied. Not even realizing what evil thoughts shadow was thinking. He was a male after all.<br/><br/>"Well you see you could repay me in other ways." He winked at her. Just messing with her slightly. He didnâ€™t really want her to repay him at all. "May be safer for you at a hotelâ€¦then at a strangers house." He laughed. Playing the hard ass as he usually always did. Though he stopped trying to search for a hotel. Figuring that at least now he wonâ€™t look like a rapist. Bringing a girl into a hotelâ€¦.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I wouldn't feel right letting you spend money on me...besides...I'm not used to males doing things like that for me." </span>Her eyes were down casted again.<br/><br/>"Stop looking ashamed god damnitâ€¦you have nothing to be ashamed of." He nearly growled. He hated it when females got all sad over stupid shit.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">"Yeah...but my mom has this stupid theory about opposites attracting...or some other such bullshit. Please...I didn't catch your name...cuz you kinda didn't tell me."</span><br/><br/>"Shadow Rossettoâ€¦or you could eventually figure it out." He laughed. "Itâ€™s one of those half English, half Italian namesâ€¦that just kinda mash together just right."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I would prefer to cook for you over stay in some fancy pancy hotel... I'm a very good cook...plus...your the one person I kinda know...and I have no intentions of going back to America...I was hoping you'd let me be your friend." </span>She spoke in a sweet way that just nearly froze his mind.<br/><br/>"Hey whoever said that you had to cook for me in the first place." He joked. Laying a hand on her shoulder while laughing. He would refuse for her to do anything. "And the friends partâ€¦I think we already summed that part up." He laughed. " We were friends since the start of this conversation." He stiffened as he saw the police vehicle pull up. And through some godly maneuver Rena was able to guide them to somewhere else. Even though there wasnâ€™t really any gang activity. "Rena that symbolâ€¦how do you know that symbol?" He asked. Completely serious now. That symbol belonged to the yin yang clan. Or rather gang. But he considered it a clan. His body was still stiff. The yin yang clan were his gangs arc nemesis. Which meant they were at constant war with one another.  " I mean thank you for saving my assâ€¦.but reallyâ€¦that symbol isnâ€™t known to just anyone." He laughed. Noticing how smooth she was with the police, and yet they believed her even though they had known that he wasnâ€™t her cousin at all. It shows that cops always listen to the girl. "Yea the cops here arenâ€™t that much differentâ€¦.they suck just about the same as usual." He still waited for her response. Feeling fearful that she may have been one of them.
