Chemistry Of Destruction [Open]

[Lulu]

How long has it been? Lulu couldnt even remember. Bevelle had been a beautiful place once but was reduced to something that wasnt oh so beautiful as it was. This place held memories, majority being negative but memories nonetheless that showed a trace of the normalcy Lulu knew. This place was mainly what happened when Yuna was forced to marry Seymour. Lulu shook her head bitterly and continued walking. That Seymour was something else. She crossed her arms loosely around her chest, eyes drifting along the damage that Bevelle had to endure, perhaps not so much physically, but the people here were so quiet, everywhere she looked no one spoke. Of all the places that the destruction had taken away, this place gave her more of the home feeling. She stopped in mid step, leaning her shoulder against the nearest building wall. Besaid was totally taken away. Her hands clenched at either of her arms and she sighed. Till this point she had been clouding and suppressing her mind of different things.

One of them being, where was Yuna? Where was Wakka and her child? All these thoughts, if they were to bombard her all at once, Lulu would break. She had to take things one at a time. And even though Wakka was her husband, and her child was her child, Yuna had automatically taken first place in Lulu's mind, not because she chose it, but because Yuna's face and name popped into her head first the moment Spira went to hell. Wakka was with her, so was Vidina, so at the time she worried for noone but Yuna whom Lulu wasnt with at the time but now, she was still within Lulu's mind. Perhaps she figured Wakka and Vidina were just fine. Her eyes having been on the ground, now looked ahead of her. One thing at a time. Letting her arms fall to her sides, The black mage continues on wards. She wanted to see if she knew anyone around here, Lulu was tired of meeting these strange people whom was obviously not from Spira, she had no use for them as of right now.

[Rufus Shinra]

Rufus, still carrying a mysterious suitcase around, found himself in another place. Unlike the cobblestone city he was in before where he had met Cloud again, and Lulu of course, this place was rather modern. It was clad in red and no one talked to no one. Rufus felt as if he was right in Midgar, Rufus felt at home when he was here, somehow. Rufus walked along until someone familiar caught his eye. Rufus had recognized the black dress among others, like her shapely hourglass figure and her black hair. It was Lulu, the same woman Rufus met back at the other city he was in.

Rufus grew quite fond of Lulu, mainly because of her physical appearance as he didn't quite know much about her yet. Rufus remembered shooting some Heartless off of her but she basically took care of herself with her magic. Rufus smirked and walked with a purpose over to the young woman. He then playfully got in front of her and stared into her beautiful eyes with his piercing blue ones and spoke.

"Well, well, look who's here... You know, if I was stupid, which I'm clearly not, I'd say you're following me around..."

[Lulu]

Lulu was taken aback slightly as that blonde man from before stepped in front of her. With a few blinks, she steped backwards and chuckled softly. Rufus was his name was it not? His words amused her and she tilted her head in question. Had it not been for the fact she was in search for Yuna, perhaps Lulu would have stayed and chatted more, though she was in a sort of hurry, she only had so much hours until the night came. Though she was sure she could possibly use Rufus's help. She crossed her arms just below her chest and shook her head in amusement. "Well its good you're not stupid now is it? Because me being smart, I'd say this is sheer coincidence that we meet up again." She said, shifting from one foot to the other. The blonde was quite 'kind' to women she guessed. Not that she hated the attention, Rufus was not bad looks wise, and the way he carried himself with that confidence, of course it was attractive, though it was a shame she was married was it not? Or at least, she hoped she was still married, another reason to find Yuna as well as Wakka.

Eyeing Rufus with slight suspicion, she smirked faintly. "Though I wonder... Why is it you are here in the first place?"

[Rufus Shinra]

Rufus watched her step back and laugh a little. It was true that it was coincidence that he found her here, he just wasn't going to admit it. Rufus didn't like it when he was wrong, he could never take that. However, if he were to be proven wrong by a woman, especially one that looked like the one before. Rufus would gladly accept correction. Rufus wasn't sure why she seemed so jumpy, she seemed in quite a hurry. Rufus didn't really care, but then again he would have to know the reason why for him to determine such a thing. Rufus put his left hand in his pocket with his right one still holding his silver suitcase. Rufus decided to put the annoying thing down.

Upon doing that, he was asked why he was here. Rufus looked to her and then to the place he was in. It was truly a beautiful place. It was quiet, the only thing you hear are the birds singing in the distance and this was what Rufus liked: peace and quiet. He liked it for many reasons. For one, he liked to hear his own voice, and two, he loved to hear the voice of the woman he was conversing with. Rufus thought about her question and then instead of giving off another conceited pick-up line, he decided to "talk" instead. He walked close to Lulu, so that they were face to face. He looked into her eyes again. He then let his soft voice escape from his mouth.

"Well, at first I was hear for business reasons. But, I'm beginning to grow to like this place. Back where I came from, everything was so tough and noisy, and this place, well, everything in it, including you is so...soft...and warm..."

As he said this, Rufus then brought his hand to gently rub the side of her beautiful face, then he moved his gentle hand down from her face to her neck. His hand then moving back up to her face again.

[Lulu]

Lulu had noticed many things about the man. Though what was different from before would have been in that silver suitcase he held. She kept her eyes on it until he put it down, eyeing it curiously as she wondered what was inside. Though her attention was soon brought back to the blonde as he once again came fairly close to her, he liked doing that didnt he? Her arms that were crossed below her chest slid down to her sides as she stared squarely into his eyes. She began what business exactly he was coming here to do, not like many people would speak here anyways. Everyone was so messed up in the head though, that she was sure possibly a few people around took the disaster opposite and went stir crazy. Though she was sure with how Rufus worked, or at least, how Lulu has already seen Rufus work, he could get anyone to talk so long as he 'asked' nicely. She wasn't too surprised when his hand came to touch the side of her face, though when he trailed further downwards toward her neck, she chuckled softly and reached a hand up to grab his hand just as it came back to her face to stop him from doing anything else.

"You shouldn't flatter me so much." She mused, as she smirked once again faintly. "Im a married woman." She added and with her hand that held Rufus's put his hand to his side. Though she made no move to put distance between them, she just stared at him in a sort of challenging way. Lulu still had high hopes in finding Wakka, though if Rufus kept popping up where ever she was, she was afraid that maybe she would allow herself too much closeness to the blonde at some point in time. Call it trust issues, but it was there nonetheless. "I dont think the man at home would appreciate it."

[Rufus Shinra]

Rufus continued to rub her face until it all came to an abrupt end, when Lulu stopped him. Rufus was a little surprised but he was expecting something on the lines of that. That was the kind of guy Rufus was, he could get anyone to do what he wanted, he could persuade anyone and he could charm anyone. However, Lulu was different, she didn't fall over something that the average woman would. Rufus thought she was really special, she was unlike any other woman. But then, Rufus began to see why and how she was able to do what she just did. It was something that Rufus never expected.

Lulu...was married. Rufus took sudden interest in this. As she removed his hand, she noticed that she held onto his hand instead of just swatting it away. Rufus raised an eyebrow, as for all he knew she could have just been lying, but then Rufus saw the ring on her finger. He looked to Lulu, who was in fact still very close to him. Rufus, in all honesty, didn't care. The guy was probably not even better than Rufus overall. Rufus would like to see this guy. Rufus didn't a woman like Lulu would like to be tied down. Rufus shook his head in sarcastic disappointment. What Rufus wants, Rufus gets....

"...Yeah maybe not, and you are still this close.... He may not appreciate it, but I bet you do..."

Rufus spoke as he still kept his position in front of Lulu. Rufus was quite an aggresive man. He would see something that he wanted and he would take it, but of couse he would never treat women the same way. If there was one thing Rufus knew, despite his attitude, was that women were not trophies. Women were women, plain and simple. Rufus still kept his smirk as he stared into Lulu's eyes once more.

[Lulu]

Lulu gave Rufus an amused look. Tilting her head in a playful manner as he spoke. Reaching a hand up, she decided to cup the side of his face just as he did to her. She chuckled softly and took that one step forward so that it was as though they were as close as if hugging, minus the arms around one another. "Oh dear Rufus. You read me so well don't you?" She whispered near his ear in a bit of a sarcastic tone. Letting her hand fall from his face and on to his shoulder, she brushed off little particles with her hand from his suit before speaking again. "The one thing you can't have yet you want the most?" She said, though her statement seeming more like a question. Her hand then drifted back to her side though she let her fingers brush at his sleeve on the way down. With a somewhat husky chuckle, she pulled away and walked away from him, letting her shoulder come in contact with his.

Walking beside his suitcase, she glanced down toward it before her eyes flicked over to Rufus again, an amused smile on her lips. "So... what business exactly do you have to do in Bevelle Mr. Shinra?" She asked formally, crossing her arms loosely just below her chest again. "Unless you know, you were the one following me and not the other way around. By all means, be honest with me." She added jokingly before her eyes went out to the people passing by. All was still quiet, but she was going to get answers sooner or later.

[Rufus Shinra]

Rufus stood completely still and let her touch his face. Rufus, at first, thought that she was probably coming to her senses and that she was ready to dump whoever she was with. However, Rufus began to think differently as she took one step forward. That wasn't something that Lulu would do, as far as Rufus knew. He then had her whisper in his ear, then Rufus gave a slight chuckle. He watched as she brushed off his shoulders which was something that Rufus was prone to doing. He hated anything that was dirty, especially if he is wearing white at the time. Then Rufus listened to Lulu taunt him, telling him that the one thing he wants the most was something that he couldn't have.

Rufus simply rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help the fact that it was kind of true. Lulu was married and there was probably nothing Rufus could do about besides shooting the man, which was out of the question, or was it...? Rufus then watched Lulu bump into him intentionally. Rufus sneered at her and chuckled once more. He turned to Lulu and watched her walk away, Rufus simply smirked at her 'walk'. But his trance was broken when she called him Mr. Shinra, which Rufus thought was his fat father's name. He didn't care, but he was going to say something if it happened again.

He was then asked why he was here. Rufus simply picked up his suitcase, and gave an unsure look. Rufus, in truth, was just wandering around in the new world he found himself in. He was trying to get in touch with anyone he knew but his cell wouldn't work. Rufus sighed and just tell her, no use in lying.

"Well...I have been trying to get in touch with one of my..."associates", but I haven't been able to reach them, so I'm trying to see if I could find someone I know here, and lo and behold, I have. What're you doing here...?"
