The Meadow

Seles rose her shoulders than dropped them gently in a small shrug. "Alright" she said simply. "you?"

He looked away, looking at the clouded sky, exhaling a bit, and inhaling in calm patterns..

-I have been good-

Seles nodded a bit in nice gesture then looked around the meadow a bit.

He did the same, and side stepped around a little, not to walk further away from her, simply because he felt like it..

After a minute Seles looked up at the sky. "What brought you here?" she asked.

-The cold, the chilly breeze brings me everywhere.. I love cold weather-

"I see, so you like winter" she said more as a statement.

*Iori walks through the grass of the meadow silently, his black eyes half shut and his head leaning down. His left hand was in his left pocket as the other ran across the tops of the tall grass*

*runs through the meadow, her eyes tightly shut and tears streaming down her cheeks quickly*
*clenches her teeth and stumbled over her own feet, falling on the grass and dirt, sobbing quietly*

*Hears the stumbling of someone and turns around to see a girl in the dirt*
*Iori quietly walked over and knelt by the girl*
Are you okay Miss?

*shakes her head and gasps for air between the sobs, digging her nails into the dirt*
*coughs as her body trembles terribly, tears dropping to the ground quickly and endlessly*

Poor girl...
*Iori needed to find out the problem. He couldnt stand by and watch as this girl cried right in front of him. The main reason is because he feared she was in pain*
*He took her by her shoulders and lift her up so he could look at her*
Please, i want to help you.
Are you in any pain?
Physically.

*she shakes her head once and coughs through her sobbing, feeling her stomach turn*
*soft whimpers can be heard from her throat as she drops her head forward and begins crying without restraint*

Emotionally
If it is okay...
Id like to help you with your problem.
*he tilts her head up by her chin, hoping she would listen through her tears*
I cant stand to see a girl cry.

*her crying intensifies at his touch unknowing recalling the actions Shungo used to do*
*she seats slightly and goes to drop to her side, her body failing her and continuing to violently quiver*

*Iori catches her and pulls her into a hug, her head on his shoulder*
Shhhh, its okay.
If all you need is a shoulder to cry on, im here for you.
Something horrible must have happened to this girl.

*her crying quiets but remains strong and continuous*
*shivers and gasps for air between her sobs, clenching her fists on the stranger's shirt, afraid to let go*

*Iori rubs the girls back, hoping to calm her down even more*
Just so you know, my name is Iori Yagami.
Its a shame we had to meet like this though.

You can tell me your name when you get better.
Dont rush yourself.

*manages to pull a small amouth of her strength together as she moves away Iori, sobbing with more sound*
S...... Stop.....
*coughs and hiccups, the tears continuing to roll over, her body completely quivering, up to her fingertips*

*He lets her go, letting her move on her own*
Sorry...

*clenches her fists as her consciousness wavers, her crying slowling down to soundless sobs*
Shun... go...
*her eyes close softly as she falls into Iori's arms, passing out from trauma*

Lucas appeared some yards away from both Cyrille and Iori, gasping for
air. "Found... her..." He said to himself as he walked over to them.
"Cyrille, are you alrig..." He looked over to Iori once he saw her faint. "She became really upset when she heard about Shungo's death. Now that I see, she passed out on you."

*Iori catches Cyrille in his arms once again and cradles her as he would do a baby*
Shungo?
*He watched her face for any sign of concienceness, but she was clearly out*

*He looks up to the guy with dull eyes*
Yes...shes been crying ever since i saw her.
But its okay, i dont mind.
She needed to cry it out, i guess.
*He looked back down to her*
It will be better when she wakes up.

Lucas nodded. "Shungo Zanzekkai. Don't really know how she was related to him but they must have been really close." He looked at her. "Had me a bit worried since she left running, but I see you got her. Mind if I leave her to you or do I take her?"
