The Beauty

[Ichiko]

ISO: Open.

This place is rather weird. Ever since I woke up in this place, I've had the eerie feeling as if I'm always watched, she looked to the side rather quickly, before sighing, ...I'd hate to admit it, but it gives me the chills. Ichiko had been walking for a few hours, two hours, thirty-three minutes, and twelve seconds to be exact.

But, she just couldn't help it. This place, this disgustingly odd place, had caught her interest. It was like that stupid Italian game that one kid brought into the orphanage. What was it called again? Oh, yeah, Scopa! It was a rather fun and vexing game, but she could've swore that the kid always cheated.

It was true, Ichiko was a sore loser and a sore winner.


She neared the mines, taking in the fact that they were nearly breath-taking. Well, to her they were. The way that they were crumbling was oh-so exquisite. The rustic brown color that graced it's walls were awesome. Her deep eyes monitored one cave.

Being the dare-devil that she was, Ichiko took a step into the mine. She was careful not to disturb the peace of it entirely. "Wow...," she whispered, outloud. Her eyes stared into the darkness of it, wondering if she should venture further.

A low humming could be heard from inside the mine,only a single little light could be seen way down the shaft.Now one would think,who would even want to be in this crumbling mine where the slightest shaking could cause the whole thing to come down.It was in fact a young thief who had took it upon herself to search this place,she had heard rumors about treasure.

"One diamond for me,ooooo a ruby too and eeeeeeee a shiny EMERALD".

She pockted them then covered her mouth,some dust and debris fell from the ceiling.Any type of noise could bring them place down on her,and right now she didn't want to be a squished pancake it wouldn't exactly be her thing.Standing up she grabbed the little light,shining it down one tunnel and squinting her eyes.

"oooooo where does this go".

[Ichiko]

Ichiko heard someone talking. She could figure that she slightest move or noise could make the whole thing come down upon her. Is this person some kind of idiot? she asked herself, mentally. Ichiko herself wasn't her for any kind of wealth issue, but here to simply explore.

Though when she spotted a rather shiny, green object, she couldn't help but pick it up. I guess it wouldn't hurt to take one, she thought with a slight smile. Ichiko pocketed the emerald and continued her way into the cave.

She spotted a light shimmering in the far distance. Who was it? Oh, she hoped that it wasn't some person who worked there. She could be in big trouble for trespassing or stealing. After thinking all the bad things that could've came out of being found, she shrugged. I wanna see someone try to mess with me, Ichiko thought, her confidence and big ego taking over.

Ichiko could've swore that she saw someone's figure. But, she kept to herself and went back to looking around that part of the mine.

[Yuffie]

Continuing on her way she stopped once again,holding up the lantern and looking further down the tunnel.It was dark and seemed very dank,maybe it would just be better to turn back with her treasure and call it a day.But there might be more treasures,just waiting to be discovered.Going further down the tunnel she looked up at the ceiling,but then tripped over something as the latern went flying out of her hand and she fell on the ground.

"ow ow ow ow,what the hell was that".

Yuffie had fallen over something hard,scrambling over to the lantern she held it up seeing her knee scraped.The ninja then shone over to the area where she had tripped,there was something in the corner and as the light came upon on her eyes went wide.Bones there we're bones,like human remains in these mines.

"B.....b....b.....,DEAD PEOPLE".
