Chapter 7: The Argument
A/N: Rock and Revy soon get into a bit of an argument with one another.
After all the stuff back at the church of violence, you and rock were now just sitting around with Revy.
Rock: Oh, man... We should've timed this a little better. It's crowded.
(Y/N): soup? I'm not here to judge, but I don't think Revy is the kind of soup person. Seriously......"whispers" I don't even think it's soup.
Rock: It's noodles.
(Y/N): if you say so.
Rock hands her a bowl.
Rock: Let's eat before it gets cold.
Revy ignored her as she was still looking the other way.
Revy: I don't want to eat.
Rock: Try it. The meal will make you feel better.
Revy: Why don't you give me the keys? I'll go home on my own.
Rock: If you do that, I can't get back.
(Y/N): yeah seriously, you're not leaving us out here.😐
Revy: Why don't you walk?
Rock: That's not going to happen.
(Y/N): definitely not.
Revy: Know what? You should go back to Japan. You're just not cut out for this.
Rock: Well, you're the one who invited me.
Revy: Yep, really fucked up there.
Rock: I wonder. Maybe you can tell me who kept the church from becoming a bloodbath today? It's just like that old lady said, you can't solve everything with a gun.
Revy: I'm warning you... You better watch what you say, Rock.
(Y/N): oh for the love of....
Rock: You've been like this ever since the submarine.
Revy: Humph.
Rock: Was it our talk?
(Y/N): talk?
Revy: it's none of your damn business.
She then turned to rock while putting out her cigarette.
Revy: Who cares! I told you never to talk about that again.
Rock: Revy. I'm not going to apologize anymore.
Revy:.......
(Y/N): oh shit. 0_0
Rock started to slurp the juice from the noodle bowl.
Revy: I musta misheard you. You better hope I did, otherwise you're a fuckin' dead woman.
Rock stopped.
Rock: Is that so?
She then slammed the bowl onto the table and stood up with her hands still on the table. She started to yell.
Rock: In that case, I'll say it again! I didn't make any mistake! I've nothing to apologize for! That's what I'm saying!
Revy then stood up.
(Y/N): and, shit's about to get real.
You stood up ad well.
Revy: That's a shame... You just stepped on a non-negotiable, big ass fuckin' landmine.
She pulled out her gun and got it ready. The people near by noticed. She pointed it right at rock's head but she didn't even flinch.
Revy: Like I said... a real shame. There's just one last thing I need to ask you. What do you want on your tombstone, cocksucker?
Rock: Why don't you write, "There's no cure for a fool with a gun."?
Revy: Well, Rock, goodbye. See ya.
Revy Pulled the trigger. But, Rock grabbed the end of the gun and pointed it away from her and the bullet bearly missed as a small bit of blood rolled down.
Revy: ?!
(Y/N): holy shit!!!
Rock: "growls" See that? There are some problems you can't solve with a gun.
Rock held her gripped on the gun as she stated to pull. Revy didn't let go.
(Y/N): okay girls, I think I know when to say it's enough.
Rock tossed the gun away.
Revy: "growls" You bitch!
Rock grabbed her by her shirt.
Rock: Who are you calling "bitch"!? My name is Rock! You got that?! Fuck!
Revy tried to get out lose but rock didn't let go.
Rock: I've had more than my fill of this shit! I've had enough! I thought I was done with kissing ass for a living, but here I am at the ends of the Earth, now I'm supposed to be kissing your ass?! What kind of sick joke is this?!
Revy: You fuckin' spoiled, arrogant son of a...
Rock: It's ROCK! And arrogant? Who the hell are kidding?! Why don't you try taking a good look at yourself!? Aren't you supposed to be some kind of outlaw, a wild pirate?! But as soon as you open your mouth, all I ever hear you talking about is, "Money, money, money"! You'd think you'd be some hard-ass villain after the big prize, but you end up scavenging off corpses instead! Is there any fucking limit to how greedy you can be!? Are you really that pathetic?! Don't you have any pride left in you?!
(Y/N)'s mind: shit what do I say? I'm not usually known as the voice of reason.
Revy got out of rock's grip.
Revy: You really think you can judge me, Mr. White-Collar!? What do you know about my life, huh?! What the hell do you know about me?! Go on! Why don't you tell me!? A girl like you who spent her life in a safe little bubble has no idea what I've been through!
Rock: You're right. There's no way I can know that. I'm not you, after all. But still, let me ask you this: Other than the fact that I'm white-collar, what do you know about me? It doesn't matter who you are, or how you live. We all have to suffer, right? You have no intention of understanding that! Instead of owning up to things, you'd rather play the part of the tragic heroine. That's the most cowardly thing about you, Revy.
Revy kicked over the table.
Revy: SHUT UP! It's convenient for you to see it like that! God damn it! This isn't one of those cheap picaresque Hollywood films you love to talk about! There are no heroes in this life!
sirens were heard approaching.
(Y/N): oh god damn it!
Rock: If there's no Robin Hood, then why don't you become Robin Hood? It's got to be better than feeling sorry for yourself, crying about your hard life.
Revy started to back up a bit.
Revy: Shut up. Shut the fuck up, dammit! I'm serious! I'll kill you!
Rock: Then do it. Keep chasing your tail like a dog, if that's what you want. If you kill me here, then you'll just end up proving me right.
Revy then grabbed rock's shirt.
Revy: That's all I know how to do!
She then swung a punch. You put your hand in the way and stopped it.
(Y/N): enough is enough.
Rock then spoke again.
Rock: Did you forget, Revy? ... The reason I ended up here, my bosses calmly cut my life away. I was an afterthought, and all for what - to protect their dirty money, their expense accounts, their place at the boardroom table. When you first invited me in, it was like waking up from a long sleep. My life had become the rush-hour commute, the fake laughing, lowering my head, risking my life to score points. And all of that was fine as long as I had a place to drink after work and a batting cage nearby. And then, just like that, none of that mattered anymore. The one person who shook me awake - the one who invited me in... it was you, Revy. What concerns me now, is that the one woman who showed me all of this is acting just like the people who betrayed me. I'm not gonna stand by and let that happen!
Revy turned away from you both.
Revy: ...I don't know what you're talking about. Goddammit. Ah, fuck it. You're a real pain in the ass, you know that? An idiot like you won't live long.
Rock: We're both idiots and we both suffer. Just leave it at that!
(Y/N): I feel like I've been talking to myself here.
Revy: I'm pretty sure you're the biggest idiot here. Dumbass.
Rock: Getting mad!
(Y/N): please stop.
Revy: Oooh, sounds scary! What're you gonna do, write a memo or somethin'?
(Y/N): girls.
Cop 1: Hey, you three!
(Y/N): for the love of god! mind your fuckin' business!
Chief Watsap: Surprise, surprise. I hear someone's making a ruckus at the market, and it turns out to be you again. Revy. This town isn't your private shooting gallery. Discharging your weapon without any concern for who's watching. And I'm the poor slob who's got to put out the fire.
Revy: Isn't that why we give you all those fat envelopes? Do I complain to you about my job, Chief?
Chief Watsap: I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying do it where no one's gonna see you. As long as you do that, I don't care if you kill people or play hide the apple for that matter. Outta sight, outta mind means that I don't have to cancel my golf dates and I can work on my short game in peace. Anyway, I'm bringing you in. There's paperwork to be taken care of on our side.
Revy: Fine by me.
(TimeSkip).
It was started to get late. You and the two were getting a ride back in one of the cop cars. One of the cops lit a cigarette for rock.
Revy: Hey Rock.
Rock: Hmm?
Revy: Just one thing. Let me ask you this and there won't be any more trouble. So, um, I just wanna know which side you wanna be on...
Rock: Me? ...I'm right here where I'm sitting, Revy. I'm not anywhere else.
Revy: Rock. Give me a light.
Rock: Light? The cops got the lighter.
Revy: What are you talking about? You got one in your mouth.
Rock: Mm? Hm...
Rock moved the end of her cigarette to Revy's.
Revy: What a fucked up day that was...
Rock: No shit...
Revy pressed the end of her cigarette to rock's and was lit. You scrapped one of your spikes against the other to make a light for you. You then put it out and smoked.
Revy: Damn... I'm so tired. I wanna go home and sleep.
Rock: Yeah...
(Y/N): for once in my entire life time, the same goes with me.
(Y/N)'s mind: and next time, I'll try not playing the voice of reason. I suck at it.
A/N: boy that was intense.
