[A girl appeared in the Square, on hands and knees crying, a red and black school uniform. It was Hikaru, returned from the world of Cephiro, but her return there hadn't been as happily ended as she had thought it would have. She had gotten to see Umi and Fuu again, and helped save that world, but... She looked down at her hands, blurred through her tears. With those hands she had done something terrible. She never wanted to do that. She didn't even understand why it had to come to that. But she had done it. Fuu and Umi had been there as well, in the mashin, but it was Hikaru's sword...

It took a few minutes for her to realize she was somewhere else, lifting her head to look around only to find herself in a place that wasn't Tokyo Tower, as she'd expected to be. A vague sense of familiarity nagged at the back of her mind; she had been here before. But when...?]

*and he's walking right up to her, not really paying any attention to the other person*

Hey, kiddo, what the hell happened to you?

S-sorry ;_;

[not-an-amateur.livejournal.com]

[that man's blatant disregard...he was going to hurt her! Sousuke pulled his pistol out of the back of his pants and pointed it at Kruogane.]

Stop right there! Not a step closer to the girl.

[Hikaru blinked at the gun. fasjfkljasdf NO. Things were coming back to her as she jumped to her feet, jumping to get between them]

NO! Stop it!

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

*the ninja only raised an eyebrow at the firearm, and open his mouth to ask the guy to stop being something of an idiot, before he blinked as Hikaru shot to her feet, putting herself between them*

...Oi. Calm down. This idiot isn't stupid enough to shoot someone without a reason. *he lifted his gaze to the other guy, one eyebrow raised* Is he?

[not-an-amateur.livejournal.com]

[the pistol pointed down to the ground in respect for gun safety laws and to keep from accidentally discharging in Hikaru's face.]

What is your name and affiliation?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

... [she sighed in relief when Sousuke lowered the weapon. She didn't want anyone else to die, even if by accident]

It's okay, Sagara-san. He won't hurt me.

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

Of course I won't.

[not-an-amateur.livejournal.com]

[slides is gun back into his pants and proceeds to ignore Kurogane but he keeps a wary eye out]

Are you okay? You look disoriented.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

... I'm all right. I was just confused being back here, is all. [she put on the best smile she could. No use making people worry if she didn't have to.]

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

*has seen enough fake smiles from the blond to start to get the hang of it, but he's uncertain about this one. Something is off, but he sure as hell isn't certain whether he's right or not.*

*so he huffs, ignoring the other guy as well, merely letting them talk and keeping an eye on Hikaru*

[not-an-amateur.livejournal.com]

Affirmative.

[motions to Kurogane]

You there. Escort her to a medical facility. One can never be to sure. Forward any bill to me.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[and cue mild panic]

I-i'm fine, really! I don't need to go to a hospital!

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

Fine. *he holds out a hand to her* C'mon. *a 'trust me'*

[not-an-amateur.livejournal.com]

[A job well done. Sousuke puts on his sunglasses with a spang of lensflare, light there or no. He leaves the two to continue on his patrol]

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

... [she nodded and took his hand quietly]


[ooc; Thanks, LJ, for not sending a response. >|]

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

*his hand closes gently around hers, leading her off a bit*

*glances down at her, raising an eyebrow*

Physically, how are you?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[she thought about this as she followed along] ...I'm fine, really.

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

Hn. Have you eaten?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...No? I wasn't gone for very long...

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

I think the blond made dinner. *isn't asking, cause hey, for the most part, it's not really any of his business, but he's here, and he'll see to what he can*

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[looks up at him because ...wut. She's fine, no really] It's okay, really...

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

*stops, looks down at her, and raises an eyebrow*

Look. Something happened, I don't know what it is, and I sure as hell ain't gonna ask. It's your business, and you can tell me if you want, and if you don't then you won't. But it's easier to deal with if there are other people around, even if you don't talk about it.

*in other words, daddy ish worried xD*

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...Thank you, Kurogane-san. [she didn't think it'd be easier because it meant she'd have to pretend more ~_~ But she was still grateful]

[ninja-ing.livejournal.com]

*huffs*

...let's get you something to eat, kiddo. *hairruffle*

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

[blinks at the headpat but doesn't do anything about it]

... Is Yuuko-san still here?
