SPOV

I was walking in the direction of the hotel. The wind was blowing fiercely this evening as winter approached. The nights grew longer with each passing day. I thought for a moment I should've driven the car or hailed a taxi but that was just a waste of money that didn't need to be spent. Besides, I've been through worse, a little cold never hurt nobody.

I inwardly sighed...these next few days were going to be tiresome. The IVC is this week and of course I get stuck with most of the work. It brings in a lot of money for the Dragons so it has to be done but I just wish that slacker and the other two would stop horse playing all damn day.

I passed by a dim lighted shop that had a small doorway that had a small opening that blocked the wind. Glancing down I saw a small green bundle. A girl? She looked no older than 22, maybe 23 and clutched a ripped green jacket to her as she sheltered herself from the wind. I didn't let it bother me, most homeless people don't end up surviving the streets. Though her innocent features reminded me of a certain puppy that follows me around loyal. I smirked, but looking over the girl once more I knew she wouldn't be fit to join the Ice Dragons. Even if she had training I doubt she would be okay with the illegal activities or bloodshed. As much as I hated killing, it came with job. I thought about giving her some money to find a hotel to wait out the storm but figured there would be more. Life isn't enjoyable.

As I was walking away I heard the chime of a bell, the sound that a door makes when it opens into a shop along with the light from the inside flooding onto the streets. The girl I could hear gasp as she tried to duck out of the way from a swinging broom and an angry owner.

"Filthy Trash! I told you to find someplace else! You aren't welcome here!" He went to swing at her again and I couldn't just stand by. I reached and grabbed the broom. "What do you think..." He trailed off as soon as he met my glare. That's right, don't cross me.

"Homeless or not, it is very disrespectful to raise harm to a defenseless woman." Why did I protect her? She wasn't my concern. Though the Ice Dragons are suppose to be about protecting the weak.

"What are you protecting her for? Shes a worth piece of trash always begging..." He spat in her direction and I shoved the broom back towards him. "Aint no woman! If you're out here again I'm calling the police!" He hurried back inside and turned off the lights and the click of the lock could be heard before I turned to the girl.

"Are you okay?" I asked..signing because I didn't want to get involved and now that I am I can't just quite leave her here.

She didn't say anything, she just looked at my boots. Slowly though, she nodded her answer. "Are you hungry?" She didn't say anything, "Would you like some food? When was the last time you ate?" She finally looked up at me when I wouldn't relent of asking if she wanted food. I knew the answer but she had to agree to it. Her big brown eyes held a lot of innocence in them, I wondered briefly how long she had been out on these streets. She was covered in dirt and her hair was matted down and it looked like she needed to add at least 20 pounds to be close to weight she needed to be. I offered her my hand and she flinched. Of course she was scared of me, I'm a mobster. Even the homeless had ways to figure out the crime of the underworld going on around them. Actually they, besides the rich, probably knew it best because they were more likely the victims.

"I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Soryu. You can't stay here and I know you're hungry. Please join me for a small dinner?" I asked in what I thought was a softer voice.

Finally after a few minutes she took my hand.

"Thank You." She finally spoke and it was very timid and very shy. "My name is Ari, thank you for saving me from the owner." She rubbed her arm, recalling some memory as I assumed it involved the shop owner and that broom. "It's the only place for a few blocks that blocks out the wind on all sides and it was really strong tonight." She tried to justify her reasons.

"It's okay, he shouldn't have tried to hit you." I simply said shrugging. I looked around for a small diner, nothing really suiting my taste but I doubt she would want a top of the line restaurant in the rags she considers clothing. We eventually settled for a sobi shop and I got the two biggest bowls and hot tea for the both of us. I just picked at mine while she quickly ate hers.

"How long has it been since you last ate?" She blushed, and the color seemed good on her, dirt or no dirt. I perked a brow at my thoughts.

"I..um..two days..I was going to find some more food tonight but the wind picked up and I just couldn't handle the cold anymore and I found shelter." She rambled on.

"Well, I'm not going to finish mine, I hate for it to go to waste. Do you want it?" She timidly accepted and took my bowl as she slowed down and seemed to enjoy the flavor. Just wait til I take you some where with real food. I again was puzzled by my thoughts, it's not as though I would be do doing this again. I can't save every damn soul I find on the streets. Though I did contemplate her joining the Ice Dragons again but when she smiled at me that thought went out the window.

"I wish I could repay you for your kindness Mr. Soryu" I chuckled, like I need to be repaid for something that cost as little as this? Though..

"How old are you? How did you end up on the streets? Surely you have family?" I asked and she went quiet looking at her cup of tea. The silence filled between us before she finally spoke.

"I guess..I owe you that much. I'm sorry, I don't really talk about it, not even at the shelters." She took a deep breath like she was composing herself. "I was 16, working as a part time waitress in a diner and going to school. I had two more years before I had to figure out what college I wanted to go to." She smiled as she recalled some memory. "I..well...my parents had gone on a second honeymoon to America one summer. Only, there plane never landed. It disappeared in the ocean." She had to take a few breaths to keep calm, I dare not moved as to let her finish. "I went from part time to full time. I had to make rent. In case, they were found. They had to have a home to come home too. But, working so much took a toll on my grades and eventually I flunked out. I couldn't keep up. Soon after, I wasn't make enough and I got kicked out of the apartment. They kept everything as to try and sell it to make up for what I couldn't pay. They even took my mothers locket, it was blue and around and had an ocean like dent in the middle of it. I was going to wear it after I turned 18 but I never got the chance. Soon after I turned 18, I lost the job because the owner wanted to higher 2 more fresh 16 year olds and figured I was leaving for college anyways. So..with no money, and no where to live." She looked up at me "I just live day to day, find food, find shelter. It's okay, its become normal to me." She gave me a smile. It was just dumb luck, life had thrown a hard hand at her and she still had the courage to smile. Maybe she was stronger than I thought? I could help her, she reminded me a lot of when I found Inui. Eisuke owes me a favor, if its a job and a place she needs working at the Tres Spade will do it and I will be able to keep an eye on her. Why does that part matter?"

I shook my head, "Looks like you ran into some tough luck." She shrugs and sips her tea.

"Would you like to come home with me?" I said and she spat out her tea choking lightly.

"Sir! Please..Don't, I can't repay you but I cant do something like that either!" She looked up at me frightful and it dawn on me the words I said could be taken another way.

"No, you got me all wrong. I meant, a place to wade out the storm, take a hot bath? You can leave in the morning if you want." I offered and she stared at me for a while before answering, trying to figure out if I was lying or not. I held out my hand, I wasn't going to force her. If she wanted to wait the storm out in the cold so be it. She slipped her tiny one in my hand and I thought how odd it was how perfectly it fit into mine. I through a few hundred yins down and left with her. The moment we walked outside she clutched her green shredded jacket to her to fight the cold. I shrugged mine off and handed it to her. Blushing she accepted it wearing it looked like a big dress and I tried not to laugh. She had to fight the wind to be able to walk thats how tiny she was or how strong the wind was blowing. I signed inwardly thinking it would take us all night.

I knelt down in front of her and she looked at me in confusion. "Get on" She blushed shaking her head.

"I can walk!"

"You are having a hard time fighting the wind, its okay. I can carry you and I won't let the wind get you." I said in a calming and teasing voice. I almost second guessed it, with her on my back it would be hard to watch my own back against any would be attackers. But I figured I could handle them if they did try anything. She wrapped her hands around my shoulders and I held her up by her legs and she hid her face in my jacket as we headed towards the Tres Spade. If anything, Baba can keep her company.
