Zuri, Abby, Strips ~ Private

[zash]

Zuri continued to cry. This was probably really weird, having a mental and emotional breakdown in the middle of a mall. But, Zuri continued to cry and could barely get anything out between the crying and sniffling. "Thankyou Abby.....You have......no idea.....what that means to me." To finally get her forgiveness meant the world to Zuri. He would of gladly given up anything for her. He'd give up every single ability he had to just be with her. He become a smaller version of Strips if it meant he could be with her. Of course Zuri really couldn't say this because he as well, was having problems getting any words out with all the crying. He held Abby close to him again. This truely made him happy, though it really didn't look like it. At this point in time he was just letting it all out; he was just draining his system of feelings. All those built up and bottled up problems, issues, and emotions were just pouring out of him now. There is nothing like a good cry.

Abby held Zuri as tightly as she could to her, never wanting to let him go. Her tears were soaking the shoulder of his shirt, but she couldn't stop them. She smiled at Zuri's words, but just couldn't respond with words of her own.

I wonder where those clouds went to... Hopefully they didn't wander off into the store and were now crying themselves. That wouldn't have been good; nobody wants a puddle of acid rain in the middle of the mall.

"Promise me..." She paused, choking on her own words. "Promise you'll never leave me?" She asked meekly; she didn't lift her head to look at him.

[zash]

Zuri smiled and cried. "I will...never leave you *sniff* ever." Zuri held Abby closer. He was pretty much hugging her agaisn't him and sqeezing her. He breathing was heavy and his tears constant. He could never bare to lose Abby. Though that was probably Abby's hormones talking or something, Zuri still meant what he said. He did love Abby and he didn't want to let her go. He wished they could stay like that forever, maybe not blubbering like they were now but still, holding each other and enjoying each others warm hug, well sorta. "I will never leave you my love." Were about the only things left that Zuri could sqeeze out from the crying.

[petdr89]

Abby smiled, her tears subsiding at his words. Hearing this made her incredibly happy. "I love you too," she whispered to him. She lifted up her head, ears still pinned back against her skull, and kissed him passionately.

They were starting to scare people away by now; anyone who came to this section looking for clothes would leave immediately. It was a wonder why someone hadn't called security on them or something; they were acting like two mental patients. And this happening on Darigan of all places, the home of some of the greatest warriors on the planet; it was a little weird...okay, very weird.

[zash]

Hehe. Zuri kissed Abby back. He held the back of her head and held her back. He pressed her up against him. Zuri was enjoying this very much so. He was truely happy to hear that. By this point in time the crying had stopped and was beginning to calm down. And yes, they were probably freaking a ton of people out by now. Luckily no one was staring or anything.

[petdr89]

Abby enjoyed Zuri's body pressing against hers, and still wished to remain there forever. Still, she knew they had to leave. She pulled away from him, a smile held on her face, and rubbed Zuri's cheek lightly with the tips of her fingers. "Okay, we should probably get going now. We have to finish shopping and get back to Strips before he does something he's not supposed to," she said, softly.

Ah crap, that's right; Strips was still at home. How was she going to explain this to him?

She stood slowly, and waited for Zuri to follow her.

[zash]

Zuri smiled as well. He was really happy now. He had a big stupid grin on his face. "Yeah, your right. We better hurry up and get going before people really get freaked out. Uhm, lets just get this shirt and everything else and any pair of shorts that'd fit and lets get going." Zuri stood and gave Abby a quick hug. "Ok. Lets get going then." He said with a grin. He then started for the shorts.

[petdr89]

Abby smiled, enjoying the final hug she was given. When Zuri started for shorts, she followed him. She hoped he'd find a pair right away; normally she liked shopping but she was ready to get out of here, her stomach was feeling weird again.

As Zuri was looking through the shorts, she clutched her stomach tightly; she really wasn't feeling good. There was a potted plant right beside them, and before she could stop herself, she bent over and threw-up inside the pot.

Still clutching her stomach, she stood their woozily.

[zash]

About the time Zuri found a pair that would fit, Abby had thrown up. He grabbed the shorts and turned around. "Uh, ok. I'd ask you if you were alright but dang, I'd say no. I think we need to hurry up and get out of here." He went over to Abby petted her cheek. "Poor thing. We need to get you home and in bed." Zuri wasn't sure what was wrong with her. He didn't think she could get sick so he couldn't blame that and she isn't much of one to get sick. "You really must of drank to much last night." Zuri figured they needed to go to a check out lane and maybe find a CD on the way out.

[petdr89]

Abby waved her hand back and forth in front of her face. "Noooo, don't be silly, I'm fine. I've been throwing up all morning; I mean, my stomach hurts but I'm fine. It must have been the alcohol; I must of drank too much without realizing it. But seriously, I'm fine."

[zash]

Zuri sighed. He wasn't sure what to do, so he just figured that they really should be getting home now. "Well alright. I don't think you're alright but fine. Either way lets get out of here. Lets go get in a check out line and head back for home. I for one am ready to get going then." Having a mental breakdown in the middle of a mall is not a good thing. People were still staring at them and were really freaked out and were trying to keep their distance. "So lets go then," Zuri said as he stroked Abby's face. "My poor baby." He gave a half smile as he stared into her eyes. "Come on lets go." Zuri then started to walk for the front of the store.

[petdr89]

"No, I'm fine, I promise. I don't know why I'm throwing-up, but I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe vamps get sick after all." She didn't really know, she hadn't gotten sick in the past two years, but it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility.

Abby smiled at his caress, trying to assure him that she really was okay. "Besides, you still need a CD." She took his hand as he started walking away; her fingers entwined with his.

All of this throwing-up couldn't have been good for her, though; ever time she threw up she lost more and more blood from her heach. (heart + stomach) If this continued, eventually she would become weak; at first too weak to perform magic, and eventually too weak to stand. She may have to bite the bullet and drink the rest of that wine, just so she could have the blood inside of it.

[zash]

"Oh, well alright. But either way you should rest." Zuri led them to a check-out line. They were behind two other people so he just stood there and looked around as he held all of his clothes. Eventually he spotted a little area around the check-out. It was a little shelf that was connected; it was holding various CD's and games and such, then Zuri spotted it. He saw the new "Linkin Park" CD: "Minutes to Midnight." He bent over and picked it up. "Haha, sweeet. Its the new Linkin Park CD. Guess we don't have anywhere else to go then now." Zuri looked over at Abby and showed it to her.

[petdr89]

Abby grinned widely, tail wagging back and forth behind her. "That's awesome; I love Linkin' Park. Well, yeah, obviously..." She had already told Zuri she liked Linkin' Park, but who didn't like Linkin' Park? They were, like, the ubberness!

Anyway, Abby stood in line with Zuri as they waited for the people in front of them to get checked out. Luckily, they got an efficient cashier and it didn't take long before they were at the head of the line, and the cashier was ringing up Zuri's items.

[zash]

"Alright sir, your total comes to 234 neopoints please." The cashier announced to Zuri.
"Dang," Zuri said under his breath. "Well alright." By this point in time Zuri had reached inside of his sheath and got out one of the bags of neopoints. "Well there you go." Zuri gave her exact change so he didn't have to wait any longer. The cashier gave him his reciept and told him to have a good day. "Uh, thanks, you to." Zuri grabbed his stuff and walked up to the door and held it open for Abby, kinda backwards ain't it? Zuri, though holding everything pretty much, was holding the door for Abby, isn't he a gentleman.
