CALL ME OUT!

[There is a dog walking down the street. Only, he's not like any normal dog. No, he's pure white, dressed in trousers and a vest, and he's standing on his hind legs. Not to mention those two stubby horns that you can barely see over the fluff.

He also seems to be looking at Taki very nonchalantly.] Where is this?

[She's. Not sure what in the world she's looking at, but it takes her a good, long while to let it sink in. It's...a dog...wearing...a vest and trousers...something is ringing inside of her head to tell her to control herself at the sight of this. But...it's...

Okay, no, she couldn't resist herself, she's already flying forward, grabbing said dog and pulling her in for a tight snuggle.] You're so cuuuute-! Who dressed you up like that, huh? They must really have a knack for cute things!

[His instinct is to grab the strange girl's arm and wrench it backwards. However, in his travels Rumo's found that many people seem to mistake a fine warrior such as himself for a humble dog. He sighs very deeply.]

I dressed myself.

[ here comes rise hello ]

Yosuke-kun~~~

It is it really true?! Chie-chan told me you wanted a makeover and that you specifically asked for my help!

[ SHE RUNS AND HOLDS ON TO HIS ARM ]

Aaaa, I've been waiting for this moment! You don't need to worry about your sex appeal anymore, Risette is here to give you a striking new look!

[Okay, he should be happy, he really should- but the words that came out of Rise's mouth made him think otherwise.]

Wh-what the hell do you mean "makeover"? I didn't ask for something like that-!

[...Wait that name. Chie... Of course she'd put Rise up to this. Yosuke can only groan, but...you know what, he has a teen idol holding unto his arm-SUCK IT UP, YOSUKE.]

You better not pull anything funny on me, though. And remind me to give Chie a good piece of my mind later...but whatever- I guess there's no way out of this, is there?

[He told her to leave Oriko. Told her to give up on the person she loved--so she had left. Ran away, moved to Oriko's place. She told their parents she's staying at a friend's place.

This is the first time Kirika's come back since the fight. In her haste, she didn't bring anything with her. It only makes sense that she'd come back for clothes at least.

It's not her fault that a witch attacked her while she was on her way. The creature was too powerful--she had to flee, with a severely depleted Soul Gem. If she gets her things then she can return to Oriko's place where they have a few Grief Seeds. No problem.

She opens the door of the house and lurches inside.]

[It's unfortunate for Kirika, really, because Sasayan had been waiting all this time for the girl to actually come home. He's been looking for her everywhere, but he hadn't had much luck. Tch, he thought he had hit a dead end, figuring she'd be with Oriko this whole time.

Either way, once he hears the door open, Sasayan had already been sitting at the bottom of the staircase, fiddling with one of his spare baseballs he had lying around.]

...you know how worried I was about you, Kirika?

[He let out a little sigh, finding himself standing up and staring directly at the girl, a bit of a frown on his face.] You know you kept our parents worrying this whole time too? They thought something bad happened to you.

[It's just her luck. She mentally yells at herself for not being prepared for Sasayan to be waiting for her. Of course he would. Even if most people in the world was scum... She had her big brother.

Kirika leans against the wall with an outstretched arm. The previous fight with the witch is making it hard to think. It's like sludge.]

Yeah? I'm a magical girl. They've got to be prepared for me vanishing like that.

[Kirika's not answering the first question. She loved her parents but Oriko would always come first. She rubs her forehead with her free hand.] Just forget it, bro. I need to get some clothes and then I'll be out of your hair.

[Like he's actually going to be moving from his spot, no. He's actually staying his ground and pointing a finger sternly at his younger sister.]

...you know I was really worried about you too, Kirika? You kept me up nights upon nights end. I thought you... [He didn't want to finish the sentence, the thought of her being dead was too painful for him to handle.]

Look, I'm...I'm sorry about everything I said earlier, too, I just wanted you to...see it from my perspective, you know?

We can talk about this later.

[She tries to walk forward. It's not that she wants to be mean to her older brother but she has to make this quick. It'd be bad if she didn't get back to Oriko's house soon. That's where all the Grief Seeds were, after all.]

Just get out of my way.

But I think I really need to talk about it now. I can't get it off of my chest if I can't.

[Sorry, Kirika, but he's not going to budge a bit once she does actually walk forward. Although...he does notice that something's wrong with her, as his brows shoot up.]

...is...something wrong?

I...we can talk about it later.

[She repeats herself as she tries to push him aside. She would have the strength to push him aside, normally, but right now it'd be more like a light shove.]

A witch attacked before I got here. I need to make this fast, okay?

[...hold on a second- she was attacked? Sasayan's eyes widen a little as he actually does step aside for her to actually walk past her. He's heard her talk about this stuff to him before, and about the grief seeds, but...]

...Hey, let me come with you. If you run out of strength on the way to Oriko's, I'll carry you.

[What? He's moving aside? She stares a bit. She's told him a bit about witches before but...]

...you would?

Yeah, I would. It's what family would do for each other, after all. What, did you think I'm not going to love you anymore after you left?

[He's letting out a sigh, nudging the girl to go upstairs.] Look, just...whatever makes you happy, I'm willing to try out, alright?

I...don't know. My Soul Gem's pretty dirty. It's making it hard to think.

[Oh. Right. Clothes. She tries to climb them only to drop to her knees after going up the last step.]

K-Kirika? H-Hey, what's wrong?

[With her falling, comes Sasayan coming up beside her to help her up. Her being in this state is already worrying her, and...]

Let's forget the clothes, alright? We need to get you better, I don't want you to disappear on me, alright?

[She manages to slump against the wall. She can't stop. She...she has to continue on. She's still able to walk so maybe she could get to her room--but her brother is there, by her side.]

I.. need a Grief Seed. We have some back at Oriko's place but that's pretty far.

[He's not allowing her to actually go up the stairs, actually bending down to pick the girl up and carrying her bridal style, before darting out the front of the house.]

Just point me the way, and we'll get there in no time! I have a lot of stamina, so trust in me!

What--?

[It seems to take her a while to even register the movement.]

The...house is across town. I can walk! I swear I can.

It didn't seem like it from how you were stumbling back there. Just let big bro take care of this, okay?

[He's giving her a faint smile right now.]

...just lead the way, alright?

...alright, big bro.

[She's too tired to argue with him. She nods.]

It's pretty far but I'll trust you. [She points down the street.]

[And with a little grin, he's already speeding off down the street.]

Point out the turns so I don't get lost, alright? We need to get you patched up and fast-!

Right...! [She makes sure to point out the right turns but it's getting harder for her to move, to even speak. She trusts her brother but it's getting clearer that they probably aren't going to make it.]

[Sasayan is beginning to notice how her motions are becoming stiffer, and he's basically gritting his teeth.]

C'mon, Kirika, don't do this to me now...! [And with that, he's already picking up the pace, even though it's wearing him out at this point...]

[She doesn't answer him. It's as if she doesn't even register it.]

[Great...he seems to be cursing under his breath, still running for a while.]

C'mon, you...you can make it- you're strong, ain't ya?!

[She manages to look up at him.]

Sorry, bro... I can't really hold on.

Hey, hey! C'mon, no...you...you can't...!

[He can already feel his strides grow slower with each step, seeing as how she's already fading away. Eventually, though, he comes to a full stop, feeling something well up in his eyes. Is it...is it tears? No- no, he can't accept this. But...

The sniffing is already ensuing, before he's finding himself letting the tears roll down his face and unto the girl he's holding.] K...Kirika...! Please, don't...don't leave me...!

Don't..cry, okay?

[She gives a slow, almost sleepy smile. She feels the tears but it's all sort of far away. She already gave up but she's delaying the inevitable.]

Bro--take my cell phone. Oriko's number in it. Tell her what happened...okay?

CALL ME OUT!
