Things Happen For a Reason?

[Xanatos]

"All right man get you're weapons ready!" Xanatos glance down at his blaster bringing it up and lining it up to his attended targets straight ahead of him. There standing before him he could see crowed of people standing there with picket signs all against the war that was going on at the time, the look on there face became outrage when they notice the platoon weapons pointing at them. Xanatos breathing became heavy sweat rolled down his face and into his eye's, was his commander about to give the order he think he's going to give or is it all for show? "Please...no." he whisper quietly to himself, he could hear crying in the distance were there kids at this protest? "Ready!...Aim!" he could hear his commander voice extremely well over the protesters screams, this wasn't what he sign up for.. he wanted to help people not kill innocents that were just trying to do what they believed is right "Run.. please.. get out of here." Xanatos plead quietly to himself knowing that his soft whisper wouldn't reach them.. but even if it did would he have been killed right there and then? "FIRE!"

Bodies begin to drop mother,father... kids the blaster bolts hit there intended targets not carrying who or what they are, Xanatos felt sick inside he knew what he was is wrong but he kept shooting until the order was given to stop. As the platoon walk forward they begin to check the bodies to make sure none was alive.. if they made slight movement or made noise they were shot again at point blank range, staring blankly down at the body of a little girl Xanatos kneel down beside the child tears begin to run down his face.. as he continue to stair at the girl something begin to change...

~Present Time~

Waking up with a sudden jolt Xanatos could feel the sweat rolling down his face.. just like the day where that.. incident happen. He shock his head trying to not remember it.. it was in the past.. or at lest it was in the past until know, he thought he gotten over it accepted his faith and moved on.. accepted the dark part of him that enjoy the killing. But for the past few months he kept reliving the same incident over... and over again, was someone trying to tell him something? Or was has he finely become crazy.. either way he wanted it to end..

Looking around he could see what little he had to his name laying around the apartment he rented.. it was a gloomy sight for sure to see the some what empty room thanks to the light of the planets moon, he glance over to see that it was one in the morning he instantly knew that he wasn't going to get any more sleep unless he wanted to revisit his past again. He sigh to himself grabbing the pair of pants and shirt that were toss on the floor as he begin to dress he didn't want to stay here any longer and decided the best course of action were to head to the nearest bar.

It didn't take him long to get the bar he visit every time he had a sleepless night.. which for him was every single night. He could hear the music and chatter of others instantly blaring when he enter, looking around the place he could see some regulars sitting at there normal spot and a few new faces none of which concern him. He walk straight to the bar and sit in the only chair available "I want my usual... make it strong.. and I mean strong." Xanatos glared up at the bartender who gave him a concern look after a few seconds the bartender shrug and begin to make the drink.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The annoying base was ongoing. Enough to give anyone a headache, especially to those not used to it. Like Kay. If she didn't like it then why was she there, you might ask? For escape, to slip away from any spies that were watching her, hoping that none would guess that she'd ever go inside.

The exiled Jedi and Republican Senator dressed like neither of those things. She wasn't even in her usual merchant attire either. Just a flowing skirt, a blouse and sandals with her satchel hung over her shoulder.

With water, yes water, in hand she approached the bar, only to do a double-take as she saw Xanatos. "Hey....Didn't I see you on Bakura?"

 

[Xanatos]

Xanaots pick up his drink taking a sip before glancing over at the lady, setting it back down he shrug "I traveled a lot so you might have seen me... tho I don't recognize you." in all honesty he didn't know the young lady standing next to him if she was famous then he didn't care Xanatos never kept up with things like that. He glance over at the bartender as he finish his drink "Another.." he received another concern look before the man took up his glace and did what he was told, Xanatos could see Lady Kay out of the corner of his eyes he didn't think the answer he gave her was going to make her go away "Can I help you?" he ask her letting his annoyance show.

So he didn't recognize her? Well that was a relief. Maybe no one else could either. She sipped her water as she watched his behaviour. "No, thanks. But with the way you are pounding those drinks back, it looks like you need the help."

 

[Xanatos]

Xanatos let out a small laugh form hearing her words "I'm not a light weight I can handle my drinks." he look over at her trying his best to figure out this lady motives. They just meat and she saying that he needs help? He shock his head and pick up the new glass bringing it up for another drink "Help you say? What makes you say that I need help?" he place the glace back down and glance back over to lady Kay "I don't need a doctor. Or someone to get inside of my head I'm... I'm just fine."

She smirked at all of his comments, most especially as he said he was fine. Someone there doing what he was doing was not by definition someone that was doing..fine.

Kay sipped her water and just casually remarked, "You know....they say that people that try to convince others that they are fine, tend to not really be fine at all. But that's just what I've heard. So something must be bothering you. Have you been sleeping well?"

 

[Xanatos]

He shock his head why was she so concern about him? She didn't know him and he didn't know her so why is this random lady asking him about his sleep? "Why would it concern you? If I'm sleeping well or not? he watch to her closely trying to see hwe reaction if there was any to his question "Even if I did have a problem what are you going to do about it? Hmmm don't tell me you're some kind of doctor and you just got off work?"

She smirked yet again at his comments and questions. Smirking at him was starting to become a habit. "A doctor? I guess that in some respects the answer to that question would be yes. But as for correctly figuring out that you haven't been sleeping, why I should tell you that that was just merely a good guess."

Kay had another sip of her water and watched him.

 

[Xanatos]

Xanatos let out a little snort "A guess huh?" he pick up his glass for another drink before putting it to his lips he mumbled loudly "Some guess..." he begin to think to himself as how good of a guess that was "Ok there's something odd here..." he thought as he look over at Lady Kay his eye's narrowed a little as he watch her sip her water "Ok miss.. you manage to figure that out. But that doesn't mean I need help nor dose it mean I will randomly accept help from some random girl that just stats a conversation with me." he pause for a minute there thinking about the last part as he did he couldn't help but smile "Well there was that one time.."

"Everything happens for a reason. I often accept help from strangers. If I didn't then I wouldn't be here now." His narrowed eyes didn't do much to intimidate her. "And besides...you've got circles under your eyes."

Kay leaned against the bar and looked at him squarely. "So what are the dreams about? Are they scary?"

 

[Xanatos]

He smile slightly "Depends on what you think scary is." he pick up his glace moving his hand slightly as he begin to watch the liquid inside move around "Things you done in the past can be pretty scary.."

[member="Lady Kay"]

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Xanatos"]

Oh she knew scary very well. She had lived through it and almost died from it if it weren't for her husband's sacrifice. "I haven't done anything scary, myself. But I have made mistakes in scary situations. Some of which I regret..."
