No one knows what happened to the store owner, or why it was a popular store even after there was no one to run the store. As Kyo walked inside, employees were looking at her. She was covered in scars and tattoos; her hands were rough looking as if there was a lot of damage to them at one point. They all stared in awe, not knowing what to do. Kyo looked around and asked, "Who is the manager here?" Not a word was spoken; all were timid and meek. She smiled for once and seemed alright, "Come on, I'm not that intimidating." A young man stepped forward, "He-died." Another, a tad braver, walked up, "He left a will in the room, but no one has had any luck getting trough." There was a hush amongst as Kyo walked back to the boss' room. It was a tough door, made of iron and was hard to get through. She placed her hand on the door and a hole melted down; she walked through. Kyo grabbed the only document. There was only a couple of words written, basically coming to say that she was the new store owner. As she walked back in, employees were in shock to see what she did.

Chris stepped into the store silently. He was not one to ever announce his appearance. He began to browse the weapons. It was not like he needed any, but there were things that he could use for his plants. Some of the blades just might have been sharp enough to help him. He began to look through th eknives, daggers and short swords, looking for something that might suit his needs...

The other employees scatter and run to the back, leaving Kyo alone with the costumer. "Mice, not men," she whispered as she walked all to the front of the store. "Good day sir, my name is Kyo. Is there anything I can help you with?" For once, her eyes were bright yellow and her hair is the usual fiery shade of orange. She smiled her fanged smile and waited behind the counter.

The handle on the door turned, and through the opening walked a black and white mouse... with startlingly green eyes. It was odd, appearing as though no-one had in fact opened the door to the shop.
Div (the mouse) walked slowly around, surveying all the different pieces of equipment in an attempt to pick out the ideal one for his next lesson on curses.

Chris looks up at the girl his eyes dull, allomst dead looking. "I'm looking for a blade. Strongest and sharpest one you've got is stock." he says, his voice low and soft, not like that of most boy his age would have been.

Kyo heard the door open, but she didn't see anyone, so she decided to acknowledge it after the man she was dealing with. "Are you going to use it in function or are you going to display it," she asked as she looked in the back area of the shop. Her head popped out from the back, "I presume that you're a fighting type of human?"

Chris shakes his head. "I'm most definately going to use it, but I doubt it will ever touch flesh. I need something that can cut through stone, bark, and anything else I may come across." he says, looking at the girl. "And if possible I would prefer it to be one handed." he adds.

Kyo remained in the same position and thought with an eyebrow up, "A strong machete might due." She rused back, her hair was the last thing in sigh; she searched diligently. "So," yelled Kyo from the back, "You're a human of nature! How nice, I used to be in tune with nature, before all of the city took over." There was a crash of weapons, boxes, and tools and a yelp, then she walked back with the idea weapon in hand. Kyo smiled, gashes in her arms and cuts all over else where; the blade was put on the counter.

Chris lifts the blade with his right hand. He examines it, then begins flip it as expertly as any weapon's master ever could. "How will it hold up against steel?" he asks, his voice low, calm, and emotionless.

Kyo bit the tip of her index finger, "Hold on." She looked at the wall and saw a steel shield, built like the ones that the front flank would use. It was mounted on the wall and was secure, so she carefully picked it off the wall and held it as it should be. Kyo looked like she was hiding behind a wall, "How about a test?" She didn't want to admit that she was wasn't the one that made it.

Chris looks at Kyo for a moment and then nodds. He flashes forwards, slamming the blade towards the shield in three swift attacks. His strength is near inhuman, and his speed is astonishing. His movements fluid and allmost reflexive, allmost as though he used no real effort...

Kyo held tight as she felt the force of Chris; he was strong, though Kyo was rather lucky she wasn't human. She peeped from the back of the shield, "How does the front look?" The machete remained unharmed, but the shied was a little damaged, but more like a scratch than anything.

The mouse suddenly turned and was very attentive at the man's slash, its bright green eyes following his movements to the letter. /That was an impressive swing!/ proffessor div projected as the mouse squeeked.

Kyo figured out what came through the door earlier and she let go of the shield; it landed with a metallic clunk! It revealed Kyo; her cat ears and tail alert and ready to play. She sniffed the air again, "MOUSE!" Her yellow cat eyes fixated on the mouse as she pounced. The game of case was on!

Div had thought that Kyo may have a LITTLE more self control than that, only to find out he was sadly mistaken. The mouse bolted, running as fast as its little legs could make it. /Kyo!/ he projected as he bolted into the box of pointy objects, narrowly sliding in-between the sharp edges, /It's Div. Stop chasing me so I can talk you you please./

Kyo did a front flip-flop as she heard the mouse talk to her. It had a familiar voice, "Oh, it's you Div. Hold on, let me talk to the costumer." She walked back to Chris, "So, what do you think of the blade?" There was a pink blush about Kyo's face.

Chris smiles faintly, nodding in approval. The weapon would suit his purposes fine. He looks at its edge, running his finger lightly across it. He watches as a few seconds later crimson liquid sprouts from where he had touched the blade. "This will do just fine." he says. "Would you happen to have something like a sheith for it..?" he asks softly.

Kyo cradled her right elbow; she had her right index finger on her chin while pondering; her tail was swaying back and forth. "I'm sure," began Kyo, "That I'll find one that's fitting for it." She rushed to the back; her hair whipping to the back as usual. After a few seconds, Kyo's voice rings happily as a bell. She walked with the appropriate sheith for it, "Here it is, lucky you!" The cat woman was positively radiant as she beamed with pride.

Chris straps the sheith to his side and with a fluid movement slides the machette into it before looking back up at the girl. "So... How much will this set me back..?" he asks softly...

Kyo meekly smiled and shrugged, "Well seeing as I've own this store a couple of minutes before you came here, I'll say fifty-five and hope it'll be suitable." She was completely embarrassed by the fact, but it was the only thing she could think of. Her cheeks became a warm pink as she realized just how ignorant or stupid it sounded; she made her way back behind her register. Kyo was hidden as she slumped upon a bar stool.

Chris nodds "Very well." he says, walking in her trail to the front of the counter. He pulls out his wallet, finding a fifty and a ten. He passes the cash across the counter, shrugging slightly. "Keep the rest." he says, smiling slightly...

Kyo blushed more as her eyes widened, "Thank you!" She opened her register and put the money safely away and closed it quickly after, "Pleasure doing business with you. I hope you come again." Her elbows rested on the counter as she folded her arms, "Though I hope you come back and tell me how your blade does." She smiled brightly, like a daisy!

Chris nodds "Sure thing." he says, his voice remaining soft, as he says this he glances down a the blade. "I'm sure it will be able to handle what I'll be using it for." he says, looking back up at the girl. There was movement outside the door, and Chris seems to allmost quiver as it occurs. "I should probably be going now..." he says, and turns to leave...

Even though the guy had his back turned on her, Kyo had waved at him, "Bye! Have a nice day!" She almost stopped him, but she remembered that it might be rude; her smile faded. There was a silence as she watched her first costumer walk away, "Maybe I'll see you around one time." She clasped her mouth; it was almost as if she didn't even realize she said it.

Chris shrugs turning to look over his shoulder. "Well, I'll be going to school out here, so I wouldn't doubt it. How bi can the city be..?" he asks with a grin, though he honestly he didn't know the answer to his own question. He was new to the area, and was still not used to being out of the forests. He steps out of the store and looks around. *Now if only I had a clue where I was supposed to be going...* he thinks to himself. He hadn't realy been paying that much attention when he was told where the school was located...

Kyo thought the guy was gone; she transformed into an orange cat, and leapt upon the counter, "Alright Div, you can come out now. What was it you wanted to talk about." Her cat eyes were fixated on the door. "I have to say, that boy was pretty nice; it's good to know that Mountain View is still filled with great people," she said as she watched the figure outside.
