Two sides of the same coin (Kate)

[Gabriel Seran]

(ooc: takes place in courtyard...)

A lot to think on, unbelievably so, conflicting points of view everything seemed to cave in as if it were all a chaotic mess. Wasn't that his goal though? To cause this kind of chaos, so wrapped up in this thing he'd become something he never intended to be in the first place. Gabriel Seran had become a monster driven purely by power, consumed by it so much so that he was embarrassed to deal with the sort of mess.

His hands clawed at the back of his head as his body waited in a fetal position, clawing at some invisible mask he had been wearing to cover his face. It protected him from the outside world, kept him so inhuman that everything seemed so desensitized. He couldn't care less about the people around him, if one was to get in his way he'd simply push them out of it. Force was his ally nothing else.

Clawing away at his hair, peeling for some release only to come upon the fragmented hand, it was all useless what had it all come to now, just destruction and chaos. There was much more to be had down the road, though here now Gabriel longed for a sensation of peace, and he doubted he was about to get it.

[Kate]

An average day at school. Really, that's all it was. Everyone was going about their business, and Kate was minding her own. It was a good thing really, as the blonde loved to mind her own business. That meant she was left alone... however, apparently this wasn't going to last for long because she tripped over something. Or rather, someone.

She tripped over the male in the fetal position, and landed on her hands. She was wearing her cheer leading uniform... so it wasn't like she was dressed in anything too expensive. But still, she had tripped over someone. The blonde got back up and dusted off her clothing as she scowled down at the person, not realizing that she had met this person before.

So the female did what she normally, Kate got angry. Very, very angry at the emo boy in the fetal position on the ground. She put her hands on her lips, kicked him slightly and yelled.

"What the hell is your problem kid?!?! Get your emo ass curled up somewhere else, where people can't trip over you and your emo tears!"

Yay. PMS!

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel came to an immediate stand, having been tripped over while deep in thought secretly stashing away his poetry book of the dark things in this world he pushed back not being the one to take shit from a prancing cheerleader who probably didn't understand anything beyond her own little world.

"Back off, not in the mood for the pep squad, though you're doing a dapper job all ready aren't you now." Gabriel shot a angry gaze back at her with equal intensity.

Standing he crossed his arms unyielding to her intimidation.

[Kate]

The scowl deepened and grew. This emo kid, though she still didn't realize that they had fought awhile ago, was pushing her every button. Did I forget to say that Kate hates emo kids with a passion? She wanted to put some pep in his step, and not in a good way. He wasn't helping the situation in the least bit. This was leading somewhere, and that somewhere was a fight.

"Oh yeah I'm peppy, real peppy. I can shove it right up your ass if you want."

Yeah, make that two people who aren't very happy in the same area. It probably, no it wasn't a good idea in the least bit. Those emerald eyes glared at him, and her entire nature was getting aggressive. Let's go cheer leading squad like. BE AGGRESSIVE, BE BE AGGRESSIVE!

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel laughed, he wasn't necessarily emo just down on his luck recently and going about it the wrong way though it certainly could be construed as being emo from the way he held himself. A bit less physicality than most men would hold their own. But now at the opportunity of aggression he didn't yield to Kate, the girl who'd brawled with him before. He pushed her bak this time.

"Watch it! This may be all fun and games to you but maybe you should calm down, BE less AGGRESSIVE." he said it in a mocking tone not calming in the slightest, he didn't care, she'd brought him out of the depression much like a world war had.

[Kate]

Fun and games wasn't really on her mind at the moment. And he was telling her to be less aggressive? In Kate's mind, very few people were allowed to boss her around. This male was not one of them, that just pissed her off a bit more. Now she wanted to shove a pom pom up his ass, even if she didn't have those exactly on hand at the moment.

"Listen bub, why should I calm down? You haven't even apologized for tripping me. I'd call that rather rude."

Well, it was the truth. She had tripped over him. He had been the reason she had tripped at all, hiding there like an emo child. Scuffed her hands and gotten her uniform a bit dirty, then hadn't even been a man and apologized for it. He was heading toward a world of hurt in Kate's mind, in the realm of gentlemen and bad boys all rolled into one (as they should be!). The blonde cocked her head to the side, hands still on her waist. It was a snob sort of look. Not one that she got from being a cheerleader, but rather from being a McHallin.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel laughed, "Well I think you should apologize for tripping over me, couldn't you see I was sitting there? Or what where you busy working out your routine?"

Gabriel's words grew more hostile, he didn't particularly like verbal wars, they ended badly but if this turned into another all out fight it would be good. Fights always came more natural to him when under death type situations.

Gabriel shifted to the side mirroring a similar snob move crossing his arms and angling a direction parallel to her. It all was growing quite childish.

[Kate]

He was mocking her. He was all out mocking her. Of all the buttons to push to shove her over the edge, the bastard was mocking her. That was just stupid. The pale girl's full lips almost dissappeared with the force of the scowl. This wasn't going to end pretty one way or another. The blonde had had enough, she stepped forward, brought her hand back and slapped him. Or at least attempted to slap him as hard as she could.

He needed to be taught some manners. His mother or girlfriend or something hadn't taught him anything good. Which was rather disappointing. If he reacted, then she would. If not then she'd let him know what she thought of him.

"Rude ass mother fucker. Learn some manners."

Yeah, she really didn't have too many manners herself with this entire situation. But yeah, she had to say it out loud. It was on her mind, and thus she was speaking it.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel grasped her hand a short moment before she swung through with the slap and left it dangling a mere inch from his face. He scowled in return not letting up.

"I could certainly say the same for you, now step up or back down..." He revealed the layer of cunning teeth admitting to a challenge.

Gabriel would wait a few moments perhaps to call Kate's bluff or deal with what was to come next.

[Kate]

So he was faster. That was not a good sign. People who were faster tended to be one of two things. Either he was just speed, in which case as long as she got a hand on him she was good OR he was tough all around. In which case, Kate might have been screwed. And in that case, she had to hope that she was at least smarter than the bastard. Out smarting a foe was just as good as beating the shit out of them for her.

"I choose option A."

Which of course was go with it. Rise to the challenge, and hopefully defeat him. Well, she wasn't going to pussy about the fight. Not in the least bit. The blonde used her free hand to try and shove her fist into his ribs in a sort of upper cut. From there she'd angle her body and try to slam her shoulder into him and get him unbalanced. Unbalanced was always good.

[Gabriel Seran]

Kate came at him strong as ever. He'd remembered the last fight, forward and blunt without mercy, though the last time he was unprepared this time he'd been ready. Gabriel took the punch dead on but as she nudged her shoulder into his gut, Gabriel pulled inwards to smash her head in with the blunt force of his own skull hopefully shifting the tide of balance. This way he'd be going forward and if accomplished she'd be reeling back. After the hit Gabriel would release, take a step back and get low. To her level now a boxing stance get his arms up in defense.

"Always with the blunt approach eh?"

[Kate]

Well, wasn't this going to be fun? Kate's first hit connected, which of course boosted her self esteem just a tad. The blonde had a thing for smacking her fist into ribs. She seemed to enjoy the sound of breaking ribs, though none happened this time around. He was tough, not weak. She was the weaker one, which was why nothing broke.

That wasn't a good thing.

Forehead met forehead however, and it was a little skull rocking. That sort threw her off. She wasn't letting go, and she wasn't stumbling backward. Despite what he may have hoped for. Instead Kate raised her knee, trying to slam it into his man parts. Hadn't she done that to him before? But Kate still wasn't putting two and two together just yet. She was going to have a headache after this. That much was for sure.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel felt the small crack from the heads colliding, an arm still free fire blocked down to block the impeding strike on his "man-parts." He'd learned well enough from their last fight that Kate was a great fighter and would still resort to dirty motives. Whatever got the job done. That was what was necessary, what was needed in this new era unfolding.

The thought popped in his head rapidly, he needed her. He wanted her traits. Kate was just as much a weapon for the future as his plans, to unfold they needed some creation and destruction. A destruction of the old era and the rebirth of a new era. Gabriel grinned as he would try thrusting her away. Not too strong merely to separate the close contact of the bodies. Regaurdless of if they did or not wouldn't stop his speech.

"It seems as though things haven't changed much...." Gabriel would chime in with an air of mystery to his voice, "Care to change that?"

[Kate]

That was of course when Kate remembered who the hell this kid was. She had beat him up in the classroom, and he had been ranting about much the same thing. So of course she connected the dots when he started up the same old thing again. Well, almost the same. It was along the same lines. And he had no clue that she was in the Reapers, now did he? Only people who did know were Reapers too. And maybe James, but he had no idea what any of that was anyways.

"Shit man, you almost sound like a broken record."

He really needed to get some new stuff, and a new voice. That was getting old really quick. Oooh, I'm dark and mysterious, fear me! As if, man. He shoved her back a bit and her right leg came up, trying to slam a knee into his ribs again. She wanted to hear something break after all.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel laughed lightly breaking the force of the knee to his ribs with an open handed grasp. With the same motion he forced her back with a short jolt. She was aggressive, always it seemed, though that was something for his new era. A darwinist perspective.

"I didn't take you for a person to follow the rules." Gabriel mocked gently as he stood there expecting the promise of another incoming attack, "Though even the most aggressive of people must kneel sometimes, if thats what you've chosen than fine." A short grin before he turned about at a slow pace he expected her to be curious though somethings don't work out as planned.
