031 - Who do they comfort now / Since I've gone away?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki paces in front of her couch, hair freshly washed, in her fuzzy blue ducky pajamas. She's staring at a scrap of paper in her hands.

She covers her mouth. Goes back to holding the paper. Presses a hand to her forehead. Goes back to holding the paper.

Finally she sits down on the couch, tilts her head back and closes her eyes.]

God, why now? Why now?

I just... really don't need this.



[[GUESS WHO'S BACK IN TOWN? That would Misaki-reality Hei, coming to find out wtf is going on and why there are stories of him being back in Tokyo. HE WANTS TO KNOW WHO IS IMPERSONATING HIM. That and the fact that since they share a star, every time RS!Hei used his powers while in Misaki's reality, Misaki-reality-Hei had his abilities forcibly activated as well. You remember way back when, when the machine glitched and Dino and Hei were In Her Reality, Killin' Her Baddies? Well. He wants to make sure this does not happen again. :| ]

More trouble at home?

[contract_star]

Misaki?

The gang again?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

To put it mildly.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Crumpling the note up instantly. And then, because there's no point in lying to him because the bastard will figure this much out on his own. :|] Not this time, no.

[contract_star]

[Stares at the crumpled up note for a minute.]

Then what?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Just... a minor annoyance. [HAHAHAHA RIGHT.]

[contract_star]

Right.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Right.

[contract_star]

Misaki.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Hei.

[contract_star]

You can tell me.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You have enough to worry about.

[contract_star]

I can handle one more thing.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Hei...

[contract_star]

I could just take the note. But...I'm hoping we're at the point where we can actually talk to each other.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

We're also at the point where we can try to protect each other. [She holds up the note, offering a clear and easy target. :| ]

[contract_star]

Am I really going to have to fight you for this?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You don't have to.

[contract_star]

[Sighs.] Fine, then.

[He's much faster than he was before. In an instant he's beside her and wrenching the note from her hand.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[And that? That is scary. She's too surprised to even be mad that he took it.] Wh...what...?

[contract_star]

[Stepping away enough that she can't take it back easily. Then he sees the look on her face. She's scared of him.]

[Well, that sucks.]

S...sorry. I...it's been like that since I came back. Sorry.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

No... I just... [Almost feels like she's trying to catch her breath, even though she isn't winded at all.

...right. The note. She closes her eyes.]

Hei, please. You don't need distractions right now.

1/?

[contract_star]

[He still feels shitty about it, and makes a mental note not to do that again.]

You being upset is a pretty big distraction.

[He uncrumples the note and looks it over.]

2/?

[contract_star]

["Kirihara-san. I need answers. Meet me at the place where we waited for the stars to come out."]

...

3/?

...This is my handwriting.
