⚔️ —The woman could only stare at the many corpses of the apostles that lay lifeless around her, her breathing harsh and heavy, and her chest rising up and down, the smell of IRON strong in the air around her. She couldn’t feel any pain, but only the feeling of blood seeping out of the wounds that laid hidden beneath the berserker armor, the liquid pouring out of the cracks and onto the ground. Guts could see her vision go blurry but quickly refocus, she could still feel the adrenaline pumping in her veins after tearing up the apostles which now lay still with the slab of metal called the sword in her hands and covered in the red liquid.

She was thankful the armor hadn’t activated, if so, she wouldn’t have know what she would of done, but all she knew is that she was going to be sore as HELL when she takes the armor off in order to try and tend to her wounds, that is if she was even able to..

So spaced and in thought, she hadn’t even NOTICED the man had appeared before her right away, her dark eye shifting to look up at the man, her grip on the blade tighten. Guts was in no mood for a fight at all if that was what the other wanted, in fact, she didn’t exactly have the energy for it, it wasn’t because of pain, she couldn’t feel it right now, but in fact, it was due to the amount of blood she was beginning to loose from being thrown around by those demons.

⚔️ —Who would of known they would find each other in this sort of relationship in the future? Because the woman did not ever think she would find herself hopelessly in love with a certain man that went by the name Desmond Erasmus d'al Valerius Cunaris ae Hayden. In fact, she didn’t think she would find anyone that would love her, or would love someone who looked the way she did,  muscular and littered with scars, missing an eye and a arm, along with a white patch of hair, most would of found her unappealing and extremely unattractive because of it all. She was surprised when he would surprised her with genuine sweet and kind words, it causing her heart to flutter and and her face to flush. It was only this man that made her feel this way and reveal certain sides of herself that she would never show to others under any other circumstance..

Guts could remember the day she wore a dress around him, one he had gotten her as a gift, it’s been so long since she had worn one, she was afraid it wouldn’t look good on her. Upon revealing herself in the outfit to Hayden, she was proven wrong. He was a man not afraid to speak exactly what he thought, and hearing what he said made her face burn.

❝Guts, forgive myself If I overstep. But I must say in that dress you look absolutely beautiful. I am floored.❞

She didn’t how to respond.

How their friendship had began wasn’t perfect, bullying and teasing each other, and literal threats, fighting, and choking, it took a bit, but that managed to change to a more friendly friendship, how it was supposed to be, and before they knew it or even realized it, they found themselves being protective of each other, and getting closer and closer before they had finally confessed.. She couldn’t help but cry upon hearing his words, having him confirm his feeling towards her and herself confirming the way she felt back.

From that day forward, they stayed by each others side, helping each other grow and caring for one another with the best of their abilities..

Battling was always a mess, blood and dirt getting everywhere and sometimes covering their skin, it was good that they were able to find a natural hot spring, especially the same one that they had been to before, it that was hidden within a cave and had beautiful greenery, it would be the perfect spot to clean ones self up of any blood and dirt covered his or hers skin. Moving quicker than the man, she made it to the natural hot spring before him, she had began to peel the armor that covered her skin and everything else, resting everything nearby along with the large blade and her prosthetic. Once Hayden had arrived, he would only end up seeing the woman completely bare within the warm waters, some of the blood and dirt on her skin sliding off each curve on her skin, her scarred back facing him and her hair already wet and resting flat. 

“I may need one of those two so try not to use all the hot water!”

     “IF you want a hot shower -- you better come and JOIN me. Because I'm pretty sure there will be NO hot water when I'm done with it. You know I ENJOY my showers.” The blonde said turning away and walking slowly to the bathroom. 

                    “Hey are you alright?”

the woman said softly as she looked a the male who was sitting there. He was a bigger man; someone who look liked he can take a hit from a fight (or whatever was going on) She couldn’t tell, but with the heart she had..Sometimes Shizune was a little more nosy then she wanted to; but he didn’t look so well- maybe she was miss spoke; but she just wanted to make sure he was alright. 

                                                                  “---Do you need a little help?”
