Boutique, torso

"Whore, you willing take kisses along your breastbone and lie still, still forever."

Her voluptuous torso is dressed in negligee and seated near a display window, as if it were modeling the negligee itself.

Gokudera walked next to his boss, listening to and absorbing all the information he was being fed. It was easy to see that he was nervous though; his whole body tense and ready to spring into action, his eyes occasionally darting from Tsuna and the road to the shadows and dark alleys around them. He'd been told that the farther one goes from the residential area the more dangerous it gets, and that the Shopping District was particularly so because of the supplies there...

The very faint smell of death that hung in the air proved that. Gokudera wrinkled his nose and lit up, careful to keep the smoke from getting on Tsuna's face.

"Is that the clothes store, Tenth?" Gokudera said, pointing at one of the stores. Something seemed off, felt off, but he couldn't tell what.

Gokudera nodded, lengthening his strides a little so that he reached the door before his boss. There shouldn't be any monsters inside--what would they do with clothes?--but one couldn't be too careful. Taking out a couple of sticks of dynamites and completely missing a certain view through the display window, Gokudera grabbed the door with his other hand and pulled it open.

And jerked back at the now distinct smell of someone dead. It was thick and sickening even through the smell of his cigarettes. He turned back around to face the other boy, knowing he'd have picked up the scent as well.

Ah--that's right. Just because it smelled like someone was dead didn't mean someone was dead. It could be an animal. Gokudera shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily.

"Do you still want to go in, Tenth? I don't think whatever killed it is still in there," it was too quiet inside for it to be, "but the smell..."

Re: The Vongola

"Alright, Tenth. Then please stay close to me," Gokudera said even though it needed no saying. Letting his cigarette drop to the ground and putting it out with the heel of one shoe, he started to walk towards the clothes store again, this time going inside.

The smell was even stronger now. But it didn't seem as if there had been a fight in here. Maybe an animal had turned the shop into its den and was storing food..? But no, people came to the Shopping District too often.

"Please be careful, Tenth," Gokudera warned, standing close, his eyes trained where Tsuna's arms disappeared between the folds of clothes. Idly he thought that whatever clothes they were bringing back would need a thorough washing.

"Maybe...maybe we shouldn't try to find it." What were they going to do if they did anyway, drag it out of the shop and bury it? It's just as an animal. "Let's just grab some clothes and get out of here, Tenth," Gokudera suggested, not quite as shaken as Tsuna (he's ma-fia~!), but definitely feeling as sick with the smell.

Gokudera sighed. "I just don't want you to get sick, Tenth," he said, going after his boss. Something, he wasn't quite sure what, drew his eyes to the display window and Gokudera thought of how realistic the silicone mannequin was--until his eyes reached the point where its head had been cut off.

"Tenth!!" the silver-haired boy cried out in alarm, grabbing his boss away from the torso.
