♘ I hope the day will be a lighter highway

[on one end of a swing set on the Plane, his hands gripping the chains so tight, his knuckles have turned white, sits Kaoru. he's in the suit he arrived in for his match against Remus, the trousers all one piece again like the shards of broken porcelain never cut the expensive material. the tea cup the Twins gave him lies empty on the ground nearby.

besides the lingering sensation of a drugged fog in his mind, he doesn't seem any different. everything is still in place--he still feels like himself--but he wears a worried, frightened expression. he doesn't know how long he's been gone and worse still...he doesn't want to see what his blood looks like now.

his mind goes to Hikaru and he suddenly lets out a mournful little groan, his grip tightening on the chains as he slumps forward, his body wanting to curl in on itself. of all people, he doesn't want Hikaru to know what he did, even if he did it to protect the Hosts and Renge, because...no, he can't stand thinking about that possibility.]

Soon, I hope. But I went home once when we were in the area....Mum...She'd locked the door. She said her son would come home when his job was done, and not a moment sooner.

Then you'd better get the job done, huh? Are you close?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yes! We just have to get to the top of Mars Lighthouse!

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

Woo! [throws his arms up in the air!] And then that's it, huh?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

We hope so!

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

What's the first thing you're going to do when you get home?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Sleep in my own bed.

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Yeah, I'd want to do that too.
