50 sentences round 3?!
Theme Set Delta from 1character.
... Yeah, this is my version of stress relief, so shh. 50 sentences yet again (ahahaha WHY).
#01 - Blend
The revenge-driven blade maiden from the city hadn't disappeared entirely; it was more as if she had intermingled with the girl trapped here with the end result being someone Naoto had never anticipated becoming.
#02 - Stain
Her memory wasn't a blank page, as many would have thought; the images and voices of her past were present, merely suffocating under the bloodred stain of that night.
#03 - Island
The city had been where she had been born and raised, where she sought her vengeance against her namesake, where innocence was crippled in a single breath-- and yet, when she thought of home, a clear night sky and more than one pair of footsteps etched in the sand were first and foremost in her mind.
#04 - Apple
If Naoto thought Zelman's look of rapturous joy while eating his orange had been amusing, the former vampire's almost orgasmic moan while sampling an apple nearly made her choke on a laugh.
#05 - Paper
Naoto had tried origami once; twenty minutes of insisting that it was a crane (albeit a very crippled and deformed one that ought to be put out of its miserable paper existence) to a hysterically laughing Okita Souji had convinced her not to try again.
#06 - Relax
The vacation Ky and Kougaiji had dragged her on was supposed to be relaxing... but Naoto discovered that nailing the policeman in the face with a damp ball of sand was infinitely more satisfying than sitting quietly on the beach.
#07 - Leaves
Akizuki had been amused by Naoto's fascination with green leaves; she had endured it, unable to explain just how rare such a thing was back in her world.
#08 - Proof
That particular meeting with Giovanni had been so absurd that Naoto could have easily dismissed it as a figment of her tired mind-- until she woke up the next day with a particularly lovely bruise on her forehead from where the coffee cup had clipped her.
#09 - Ugly
Naoto didn't see her scar as either ugly or beautiful, despite everyone's differing opinion; it was simply a reminder of what she had lost and what she was fighting to regain, even now.
#10 - Book
Zelman seemed to think she was as easy to read as an open book; Naoto was just waiting for the opportunity to slam that book firmly shut in his face.
#11 - Brood
It was rare to see Giroro brood and more than a little worrisome, but Naoto fulfilled her duty as a loyal friend and waited patiently until he started to speak.
#12 - Mesh
"You claim you and Rammsteiner are nothing alike," Saitou said calmly, "but isn't it inevitable that two strays would eventually become entangled when their paths cross?"
#13 - Soft
Both her hair and her skin were soft to the touch, but anyone who assumed that the girl's interior matched her appearance had yet to look into her eyes.
#14 - Shelf
It had started off as a lone shelf; one shelf had turned into two, then three, until Naoto finally turned to Ky and said firmly, "We're building you a cabinet before your teacup collection takes over the entire cave."
#15 - Alone
If-- when she eventually left the island, Naoto was oddly comforted by the fact that there would be a small winged girl, a lanky chainsmoker with a grin that lit up the dark, and possibly even a stray dog waiting for her in a small church.
#16 - Fall
There was a sense of weary acknowledgment as she fell-- even before she fell, seeing the startled realization on his face just as the lightning bolt smashed into her-- that maybe this time, she had been the one to underestimate her opponent; Ky never heard her croaked apology in his panic.
#17 - Knot
There were plenty of uses for her scarf, but Naoto had never thought she'd wind up using it as a knotted gag to keep Ky from screaming about anything and everything.
#18 - Crowd
She knew they were all only trying to help, but all Naoto wanted to do was escape their outstretched hands and their concerned faces and let herself succumb to the darkness that drifted closer with every throb of the ancient wound.
#19 - Denial
Denial was a particular skill of hers that she had been forced to employ more than usual, typically when arguing the case of not liking a certain blond officer in the way that half of the island insisted she did.
#20 - Train
She had heard stories of trains that still ran below ground and got the uneasy feeling that the answers she sought lay at the end of those tracks.
#21 - Fur
The bad thing about having fur was that people tended to pet you and Naoto, to her horror, was starting to get used to receiving such a thing as a puppy.
#22 - Chrome
Ky had the habit of seeing things only in monochrome, as opposed to Naoto, who was situated in the gray area more often than not.
#23 - Heart
Naoto wondered just why it was that she was so afraid to admit she had a heart.
#24 - Intention
She didn't know the Master's intention for suggesting to Ky that she might have crawled into his bed on her own free will, but Naoto definitely didn't like where all of her guesses were leading to.
#25 - Push
Hearing that Killua had been pushed into a role that he had never been given a choice about made Naoto frown; it was an all too familiar situation.
#26 - Look
As his fingers closed around her throat, cutting off her air, Naoto could have kicked herself for having tried to walk away from the dog without looking back.
#27 - Weight
She hadn't forgotten her goal or what she had left behind, but if she stopped walking forward, the weight that constantly pressed down on her would have crushed her.
#28 - Spider
Interaction with the Master always made her feel as though she was trapped in a spiderweb: the more she struggled, the tighter it held her until she could no longer move on her own.
#29 - Robe
The silk robe Saitou had tossed at her was too beautiful and not fit to be worn by such a ragged misfit; in the end, the child was highly relieved when he let her wear his shirt instead.
#30 - Umbrella
Rather than rain ducks or soda cans, Naoto thought the island ought to at least rain umbrellas to deal with the annoyances and the occasional cold shower.
#31 - Surface
She liked to think she appeared strong and tough on the outside, a true warrior no matter what ridiculous outfit she was forced to wear-- and then Bridget promptly ruined it by squealing "You look so CUTE!"
#32 - Idea
Kissing Ky as a distraction probably hadn't been the best idea, but Naoto couldn't deny that it had certainly been effective.
#33 - Diamond
Diamonds might have been a girl's best friend, but if it couldn't cut what stood in her way, then Naoto had no use for it.
#34 - Blind
There were times when Naoto could admit that she could be blind to a situation or the truth; thankfully, she had people who were more than willing to force her eyes open.
#35 - Flow
She just couldn't get past the disturbing concept that her thoughts and memories were flowing into Schuldig's mind with her being unable to deny him access.
#36 - Movement
One had been a duel, the other had been a dance, but the tension and grace in their movements had been the same.
#37 - More (t-two of them lolz)
"I don't want more in life," she said to Badou one day, dangling her legs off the roof; "I just want what was taken from me."
She had once lived solely for revenge; now Naoto lived solely for herself, but fought for much more than that.
#38 - Honey
"You're beautiful when you're angry," the Master crooned, voice saccharine and dripping with sadistic enjoyment-- which only served to throw more fuel onto Naoto's already smoldering anger.
#39 - Weather
Smart people stayed inside when the weather was bad; Naoto was not smart, as proven by the little black puppy who had been blown away with Stellar and labored to dig an ashen-faced Hagu from her collapsed hut and who was now trying to tune out Ky's lecture on responsibility and common sense.
#40 - Blue
She had seen blue as a peaceful color once-- but Ky had changed that with the lightning that had danced along the blade, hurled at her with a precision as deadly as the blazing azure of his gaze.
#41 - Double
Naoto honestly didn't mind too much when Morita called her his twin, once she could get past the horrifying thought of being seen as his double.
#42 - Braid
She could claim Anemone drove her absolutely insane (and it wouldn't be that far from the truth), but Naoto had absolutely no excuse for letting the girl braid sections of her hair, other than "It's great for working on my patience."
#43 - Thread
Their fingers darted and dove, pulled and hooked the thread, guided and coaxed it along a path, both of them quiet and able to temporarily forget the contradiction of their goals in favor of creating something new.
#44 - Angles
Haine was all angles, his chin digging into her shoulder as his arms wrapped around her, crookedly awkward as someone unaccustomed to displaying affection-- which made Naoto appreciate the hug all the more.
#45 - Daydream
There was nothing to dream about, nothing to cause her mind to wander in pursuit of some wistful fantasy and far too much to focus on-- all reasons why Naoto simply didn't daydream.
46 - Nightmare
If there was anything that she was grateful for, it was that she had learned how to keep her screams trapped in her nightmares, too old to curl in a tight ball and shove her fist in her mouth to muffle any betraying noises but still just as affected as she had been as a child.
#47 - Honor
Every time Ky remarked about being honored to be in her company, Naoto was never sure how to respond, too used to being just a fleeting shadow in the background to do more than blink and then belatedly fumble for a reply.
#48 - Palm
Lately, every time Naoto had started to get frustrated with Haine, the recollection of a small palm pressed against hers with their fingers tightly intertwined made her hold her tongue.
#49 - Screen
It was if receiving that scar had erected a screen between her and her past that no amount of clawing, stabbing, and struggling would tear down.
#50 - Warmth
As faint of Teresa's smile was, as chilling as it could be, Naoto also knew the warmth her friend possessed and could only smile in return.
And now it's 3:30 AM sleep tiem plz.
