Sunday Five, April Showers bring May Flowers
April was tired. She had been working all day killing sewer rats, and they seemed to be endless. There was alot of rats in there, more then one hundred probably, and most likely, the job was unfair, and April was probably underpaid. She clanged her change from the job as she jumped onto her sofa, inside her fifth, or maybe it was the sixth, hideout in the city. She had been running from the local law inforcement as she was technically "tresspassing," still she didn't care if she was caught tonight, as she was plain tired. Not from the actual work, as farmwork was just like it, but tired of working hard to get little or no money in the city. She put the coins in her pocket, and then shut her eyes for a few seconds.

For a second April didn't recognize it, but she had realized something was off. She hadn't placed her money in her safe, and got up to do it, it was too dark to see, so she lit a candle. She then noticed the flame burning, and saw the safe, but the strange thing wasn't that the safe was on the ground, but what was by the safe. There was a man, who seemed odd to her standing right by it. "Hey! That's my money!" she yelled, trying to chase him away.

He did not move "Im not intrested in money" he said mater of factly "you dont have to fear any theft from me, Im just trying to find a little warmth for the night" this sounded all wrong but he did not realize it

"Why do you think this place is free?" April asked curiously. She grabbed the safe by his feet and the money in it, but before that opened it in a high speed, so he had no chance of seeing the combination. She took the safe over to her sofa and sat down. waiting for him to respond to the question, hoping he had money.

"I dont own anything of any value, I reject wealth in pursute of honor" he explained "if I had mone I might have gotten a hotel room or something, this place however is public property so Ive got a right to it"

"Public property huh?" April said irritably. She pointed to a mat on the floor, "then you get to sleep on the ground." She wasn't really angry, she was just too tired to deal with people, and the chair was holding her safe. She looked at him and then laughed a little, "you can pay me back for the mat later, but just shut up for now please?" she tried to smile, but she was too tired.

"I dont expect anything from you, nor should you expect anything from me, goodnight" he said sleeping sitting in the lotus position against a wall, or at least rtying to

April was asleep by the time he said that, her feet were now on the chair with the safe clinging in her arms, she gripped tight on it even though she was asleep. She was humming while asleep though, and it sounded beautiful. As the time passed the moon dove down and the Sun flew back to upright position.

April had woken up early as she used to be a farmer, and she woke up early all the time. "Hold it!" She said not angrily, but quizzically, "are you some kind of squirrel man?" she asked while throwing the acorns out of the area.

"If you don't have any money, simply enough, you're gonna have to earn it." April said in an ol' fashion, kind've duh way. "I used to work on a farm, so you should get used to a lot of hard work..."

"You should've thought about that before working up a debt!" April released a kind of, are you kidding me, yell of impatience toward him, She knew this was getting no where, but she had decided she would not give up on him, he had to learn how the world worked.

Re: Sunday Five, April Showers bring May Flowers
"debt?" he said confused "like I said, I don't use money, I don't own money, the economy simply dose not apply, things like 'debt' and 'repayment' just do not translate the same way, you have no home, I was NEAR you when I slept but technically outdoors, I owe you nothing and its not my fault if you cant understand that" he said walking around on his hands

"You know what? Forget it. But if you want some goooood training come with me, nothing better then what I do everyday to get tough." April said, hoping that her other way would work better.

"Killing wild animals in the sewer, plowing fields, diving in the lake, chasing thieves. Man those are fast thieves..." April said, in a blissfully decieving way.

He was disapointed "Oh thats all?" he fliped on to his own feet "if acorns arrent enugh then thats WHY your so unhappy" he could tell she did not understad "your never going to acheve enlightement if you spend your life trying to squable over something as silly as money, that's probubly why your so unhappy" he said realizing that this woman did not know that metiral goods brought unhappyness, no WONDER she was so unsuccessfull

"I myself am not unhappy, because unlike you I am not some cheap philosopher who has all the time in the world to play gymnist. Unlike you, I work hard for money, you yourself are drowning in your own pride and yet you claim that I'm unhappy. I am happy working, because it reminds me of the good old days." April said this in a friendly, but a sortof look, you just don't understand kind of way.

Re: Sunday Five, April Showers bring May Flowers
"I work to train myself, I'm not a philosopher, I am a shinobi. Greed is what ended my people's existance, it is a dangerous thing and I can tell that you want to be self reliant, yet your will to survive is manifested only in material wealth, so if you want to be self reliant AND reach enlightenment you need to cast off suc binds as money" he said standing up "you make me sad as you are now, to cling to pride and money is to remain in turmoil" he began to walk away "I have no buisness with you as you are"

"Haha. You say you are not a philosopher, and yet you still spout such sayings. The adventure is not in the money, but earning it. You are blind if you cannot tell that simply training will only do so much.." April laughed out, thinking the strange dressed man was rather funny, and not just funny looking.

Re: Sunday Five, April Showers bring May Flowers
he yawned "maybe not, but I dont want or need anything else" he left her then and the two had seprate days, she worked, as usual and he addressed why he came to the city in the first place, a gang that was known far and wide for there fighting ability. He examined the piece of paper "excuse me" he began addressing some thugs behind a parking lot "but I am looking for a gang known as the Red scull sbaers" hours later he was in the mayor's office trying to refuse a rather gigantic reward "I really dont care about there bountys or the reward, they werret even STRONG!" more hours later he walked the night time streets with a bag of cash equailing up to 15000,000,000 Jeni and a rather unhappy expression, then he rememered April!
It was nite when he found her again "oi, greedy girl, I 'earned' somting my way but I dont want it, here" he said tossing the rather large bag at her
