seven ☆ the truth revealed (.Ø29)

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Appearing on the Plane are everyone's favorite Japanese teenaged superheroes. However... Yuuto has Ryotarou by the front of his shirt collar. He looks a bit pissed off. Ryotarou looks half-resigned, half-indignant.]

Why didn't you TELL me!? [Yuuto's knuckles whiten in Ryotarou's collar.] You're throwing your own existence away!!

I'm not throwing anything away, Sakurai. [Ryotarou tries to keep his cool. So far, this is better than he could have expected.]

WHAT!? You're— [Yuuto growls, then, and pulls Ryotarou closer. His eyes are hard, not only with shock but with hurt. In his eyes, his mentor has betrayed him in the worst way possible... Both of them. Fighting at the cost of themselves knowingly, and continuing to do it anyway— all for the sake of...] Shut up! You are throwing something important away, every time you transform! What the hell is wrong with you!?

If I don't do this, the future will be destroyed. [Ryotarou doesn't pull away yet, but his ground is firm... despite something deep inside him agreeing with Yuuto's words.] I have to fight.

I won't let you. [Oh Christ, he's close to tears. Not that he'd admit it.] I won't let you!

[Ryotarou has to glance away—Yuuto might never admit it, but it's all too clear from Ryotarou's position.] ... It's too late for that.

[A stunned silence, and then...] You should have told me a long time ago, damn you! [He draws his fist back and tries to punch Ryotarou.]

[Ryotarou doesn't see the punch coming, and so down he goes. He smacks into the false floor and lays there for a moment, stunned and dazed.]

... What good would it have done?

[Yuuto snatches a conspicuous metal card holder from Ryotarou's hands and clutches it close. He hesitates for a moment, still brimming with things to scream at Ryotarou, but none of them stick, so he takes off.]

[Ryotarou reacts immediately, jerking forward in an attempt to grab at Yuuto, but then he's gone.] Sakurai! [He quickly pulls himself to his feet.] Sakurai!!

(ooc: So, the boys are now canon-bumped and Yuuto's just found out about the cards. And stolen them. Ryotarou will get them back eventually but feel free to poke him in the meantime~)

Trouble in paradise! Someone pass me the Jelly Babies.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[This? This is not a nice look, Master.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[whatever, Ryotarou]

Well, what happened? Go on, give me all the juicy details. Inquiring masterminds want to know.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's any of your business. [Glancing in the direction Sakurai ran off with his cards. :|]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Actually, I purchased a licence on Walimia 1 to practice the business of 'getting into other people's business,' so yes, yes it is.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... What?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's a planet. Anyway, if you're going to go off sulking about this and being depressive, it's likely that my dear companion will see fit to comfort you. Then he'll be closer to you, then it will encourage a merger, and then I'll be stuck with your ridiculous reality, which I quite frankly want no part in. As such, it's my business.

[Hei is just sort of lurking, watching the whole thing. He knows exactly what it's all about, but he doesn't really want to interfere just yet. Plus he's still worn out as hell.]

[ooc: placeholder]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou takes a step forward like he might follow after Sakurai, but then he catches sight of Hei.]

... Hei-san. Are you okay?

(ooc: ♥)

[contract_star]

[Stares at Ryotarou a moment.]

Are you sure you should be asking me that?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [The rapidly forming bruise on his face says otherwise.] ... You?

[contract_star]

Liar.

I'm still planning how to get Yin back.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I just need to get the cards back. That's all.

Still?

[contract_star]

It doesn't bother you, then? That Sakurai knows?

I needed...time to think. And to sleep.

[Ryuuta is torn between being REALLY PISSED at Yuuto for being so mean to Ryotarou, and wanting to know just what sort of thing would make this other Yuuto act, well, like the jerkface Ryuuta's used to. He opts to pester Ryotarou, since a jerkface is a jerkface afterall.]

Nee nee, what's going on?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He takes half a step forward before he stops at Ryuutaros's voice. He freezes, then shakes his head.]

Nothing. It doesn't matter. ... I just need to get the cards back.

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt. Sorry Ryotarou, but this is the one Imagin who *isn't* going to leave you alone when it seems like something's up.]

What kinda cards?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Sorry in return, Ryuuta, but he isn't in the best mood right now.]

What kind do you think? The Zeronos cards.

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

[Hear those gears turning? That's Ryuuta's brain working to piece things together.]

But... then what was niichan talking about?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Sharp glance away.]

... Nothing.

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

[Staaaaaares]

It's definitely something!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...Ryotarou?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[...!]

Ianto-san...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Are you alright?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Winces slightly and looks away. He's hoping that means Ianto didn't hear the rest of it... or at least didn't put it together.] I'm fine.
