The backyard

..

:enters the backyard, closing the gate behind her as she puts her newly bought puppy on the grass along with all of the other things she bought:

Now to think of a name..

:thinks for a moment as the puppy sits waiting:

I know! i'll call you Axel, do you like that?

:Axel barks happily, he seems to be smiling:

good boy!

:laughs happily:

should i show you around?

:axel barks in agreement:

alright little guy, follow me!

:she picks up the leash, water&food bowls/ and the puppy chow, and heads inside with Axel on her heals:

:she quietly walks into her backyard and lays on the grass:

he doesn't even like me..so why do i care so much? i am such an idiot..

:she hugs her knees and silently barries her face into them letting a few tears drip down her cheeks:

Zak unlocks the fence and walks into the backyard seeing Zuzi.

"Hey Zuz? You okay?" he asks clenching his burnt fists, in a relaxing way, slightly

:she doesn't look up, not wanting to give away the fact that she's crying:

I'm fine. why are you here? :she tries to sound annoyed:

He looks at her then sits down

"Why are you crying?" he asks

:Snaps her head up and glares at him, tears dried on her cheeks:

I'm. Not! crying!

He rolls his eyes.

"Is this about...?" he trails

Just shut up! i already know he'll never like me or want to be my friend..

:hugs her knees tighter:

I did threaten to kill him after all..

He goes over to her and pats her shoulder.

"Zuz, maybe it's for the best?" he says in almost a question format

:looks at him:

me being alone, to rot, is the best isn't it?

"That's not what i said." he sighs and holds out his burnt hands.

"That Dark side of him is more insane than you are." he says and instantly regrets it

Did you just say im insane?

:she tilts her head to the side, her pupils dialating:

He gulps. "No."

I dont believe you!

:she stands up:

If you came here to call me names..im going to ask you to leave!

He looks at her

"I dont want you going near him any more. he is too unstable." he says boldly

I dont care..

:she sighs softly:

Besides he locked himself in his house anyway

"No. he didn't." he says then explains the entire story of what had occured only days ago.

(i got the pm)

:she looks at him stunned then crosses her arms:

and you said i was crazy for telling you he had a darker side!!

He looks sad.

"Blade is still in the hospital.."

:shakes her head:

Zak..i should have been...i should have helped you!

:she pulls out her gun:

i could have..

"It's alright. I just..haven't seen Baku since he left the hospital..Blade is going to be alright.." he says quietly

:she drops down and hugs Zak tightly:

I could have helped..

"No. you only would have been hurt." he says
