Sora guided his bike to the warehouse at the edge of town, muttering the enchantments needed to pass the area with Shiki they passed the metal fence surrounding the property. He guided the bike near a button on the side of the wall, clicked it, and the doors opened to the inside.
It was likely an old plant, because it was insanely spacious. In the middle of the room were makeshift tables and chairs. On the side there was a messily made kitchen. No bedrooms or showers, but there was a second floor that led to an office. Perhaps they were in there, Sora parked the bike near the metal door. On the wall was lined with many weapons, old and new. He pressed a button on the inside and closed the door, he clicked a switch next to and some of the extra lights turned on. Revealing his makeshift work area, a couch on the side, and a really old TV on an orange crate.
"Well...here we are."

Shiki had gotten off the bike and now looked around at his "home". It wasn't that bad, most people would probably gawk at it though. But hey, it beat living on the streets. "There's a lot of room." She commented and her eyes wandered over everything.

"I need it." he explained, "Helps with training and such. Okay, one issue...the shower is on the second floor-"
he pointed to a small booth next to the office at the top.
"But it isn't connected with the bedroom. Now, sense I live alone I never had to worry about being peeped but...I'd bring your clothes with you and set them outside the door if you need to shower."

"I'll be sure to remember that." Not like he'd do that anyway. And if he did...she'd find a way to somehow kick his ass. "Oh and thanks for this. Kind of nice to know I don't have to worry about falling asleep tonight."

"Let me make up my...bedroom to fit yours." he said, walking to the corner and grabbing a huge blanket and a smaller one. "For curtain. I'd set you elsewhere, but...that's the only room with heat and air conditioning. It'll be better there, feel free to look around but try not to touch anything with runes and symbols on them."

"Don't worry about it. I'm too afraid of imagining what would happen if I did." She walked around, careful not to disturb anything. It really wasn't that bad of a place. Sure it was different but still managable. Shiki stopped by the wall and raised an eyebrow. It never occured to her that he had so many weapons.

On the far side of the wall Shiki could see there was a corkboard, it held pictures of Shiki. Labeled on the side were some of Shiki's daily habits, it was Sora's case file to track down Sin. He had made a great deal of progress it seemed, there was also a notebook with several daily notes of his observations of her.

She'd only seen them out of the corner of her eye, but when she did turn to them fully her eyes widened in surprise. Shiki moved closer to the pictures and then looked over everything she could see. Her emotions were shock, momentary confusion, a little creeped out...she lost track from there, focusing more on what she was seeing.
"How much do I not know about him that I might want to know?" The question was mumbled to herself, but now...well she was going to confront him.

"Okay you're room's- oh." Sora stopped in his tracks, Shiki standing in front of the corkboard. "Alright...I think I know where this conversation is going to go..."

"I bet you can." Shiki turned to face him and placed her hands on her hips. "Sora Shimomura, are you stalking me?" There was a very slight joking tone to her voice that suggested that part of her thought it was funny. Other than that, she was dead serious.

Sora frowned, "Sort of...not for personal reasons. It has to do with Sin, I couldn't protect you with him if I didn't keep an eye on you...so I did, until I finally get Sin I kept an eye on your to keep you safe."
He walked completely down the steps, "I couldn't risk not keeping my eyes off you, not for one minute."

A sigh escaped her, "And you couldn't tell me? I'd kind of want to know that I was being watched." Shiki thought something over, "Does this explain why ever since I told you about him I've been running into you a lot? And why you were always there...when something happened." Well, everything was starting to make sense. The last part was her own realization, not much of a question.

Sora's eyes darted to the ground as he quietly said, "Right on the mark as always Cowgirl."
He sighed, "I'm gonna...head up to the room. I set up a curtain in there, you're bed is on the left side of the room. Near the window over looking this floor."
He turned around and headed back up the stairs.

For once she had no idea what to say and let him go. After moments of standing in the same spot she made her way over to the couch and sat down, her mind still wrapping around it. He'd been protecting her all this time. It was a comforting thought, but then there was the fact of all those notes and pictures. Common sense would tell her that she should be extremely freaked out. But she wasn't as much as before.
Grateful? Now that a lot had happened, yeah. Look at how many times he'd come to her rescue. Shiki looked over at the board. If he had not where would she be? And who knows what he was thinking now that she'd discovered him.
She had to talk to him. Rising from the couch she made her way up the stairs, checking out her room when curiosity nagged her. Nothing special or dazzling and she was completely fine with it. Her attention turned to the curtain, knowing he was on the other side. "Sora? Can I talk to you please?"

The room was painfully simply, a single curtain divided both their quarters. Shiki had the far right and Sora had the far left, upon hearing her call his name he walked through the curtain. He already took off his jacket and switched from his t-shirt to his A-shirt -which showed off his arms and shoulders.
"Something wrong? What's up?"
