Small street

*suddenly falls against a wall and passes out*

*walks down the alleyway and sees amber*

"Oh jeez.."
*runs over to amber, picks her up, and carries her to her shop*

*looks out to a small street*
*takes the street towards the outside of town*

*walks down the street wearing crimson red cloak with hood up*

*walks down the alleyway*
*feels some rain and shakes head walking in the rain*
August 7- I learned something important, but it's too painful to write down...perhaps this memory is better to rott but someday I'll be grateful for it, just maybe

*continues to walk and write*
I used to have friends...but they're all dead... Onee-chan would always visit but I don't remember her face...then we have Kin-kun... He didn't like to talk but he was fun..
*taps pencil on journal has it gets rained on*
...everything's...gone now. I'm scared, but I'm not sure of what..
*frowns and looks up*

*grips the walls walking out of an alley infront of Rem*
Nezu-chan!
*tries to stand on own, staggering a bit*
*hesitantly holding out the forget-me-not flower to her*
*knees and feet are covered in scrapes*
*is wet from the rain*
*smiles weakly, ignoring the pain from standing*
*body is straining to keep her up*

*eyes widen*
Nezu?
Natsume... what are you doing out of your room
*furrows eyebrows and bites lip*
*puts her arm over my shoulder*
You shouldn't be out here in the rain...

*sticks the forget-me-not flower behind Nezu's ear*
*has trouble breathing*
Sorry about today.
*leans against Nezu for support*

*smiles at the flower and looks on ahead gritting teeth*
Come on Natsume, we have to bring you back to the hospital...
*helps her get back her room*

*drops down from a building, holding Tenkei in left hand pointing down*
*lands silently, kneeling down to lessen any noise and impact*
*looks around for any movement or noise, eyes glowing bright yellow*

*looks up from the buidling I was laying on and smiles darkly*
Sakurai-san.

*lands on a building, unseen, and watches Sakurai*

*straightens up and rests Tenkei on shoulder, looking over at Riza*
Riza.
*watches her dark smirk and eyes glow their bright yellow*

*kicks legs back and forth in the air*
How are you tonight?

*bites his thumb a bit as he watches the two*

Annoyed honestly.
*stares up at Riza calmly as some blood drips off the tip of Tenkei's blade*
My criminal got away. Tch.

Hm. I'm sorry. I'll stay here and you can carry along if it's me.
*looks up at the sky still kicking legs with a distant expression on face*

*sighs and cuts the air in front of self, cleaning off the blood from the blade*
*sheathes Tenkei and leans against the wall over a building, setting hands in pockets*
Very well. Have you been well?

I suppose so. Pondering a riddle.
*tilts head to the side*

Would it be fine if I asked the riddle you are pondering?
*looks up to where she is and raises an eyebrow*

Why is a raven like a writing-desk?
*tilts head the other way*

*nods and looks back in front of the wall ahead*
Thank you for telling me, Riza.
*leaves hands in pockets and fiddles with something small casually*

*waits for a moment*
No answer?

*quietly summons a raven to land on riza's shoulder*
