[ OOC: Taken just a little after this post! ]

Please...

[ Kohaku's voice is low, drastically low, and streams of tears fall harshly on the ground from where the device is lying. From here, you can see the poor boy, crumbled and bruised, sitting next to a tree. Kirara is beside him, a low whine stream from her lips as she seems to by beside ( Read more... )

[There's one moment. One very, very brief moment where he doesn't know what to say. Because despite what he had seen during his time, despite what he had seen during this even, despite what he was preparing to do? Death was always hard to take, even when you've been through it yourself.

But it's Kohaku, and more importantly it's Sango and he can't just say or do nothing.]

Send me your coordinates. I'll be right there.

[He's petty sure it's already too late, but even if it is, he has to get her body and more importantly, Kohaku, to safety.]

Stay there, okay? Stay there and look out for her until I get there. Can you do that for me?

Riku--! [ He's so glad to see you! But then, a wave of disappointment flashes through his face. No, he couldn't let him see them like this. Not when he was the one who--

But what else could he do?

Wordlessly, the boy chokes back another sob before cradling hold of his sister even more than before. ]

It's okay, Kohaku. I'll be right there.

[And then the screen goes blank. He can run faster if he doesn't have to worry about trying to carry on a conversation at the same time.]

[ When the feed ends Kohaku doesn't move, doesn't speak. He just wants to be by his sister's side- to know that she's alright.

PLEASE RIKU HURRY HE NEEDS YOU... ]

[It doesn't take him long, really, but it seems like forever. And when he finally reaches the scene he slows, approaching carefully, bright eyes falling on the pair before closing. And again, he doesn't know what to say. He should have bought him. He's going to need it if he's going to get both of them back to the house in one piece.

But at that moment all he can think about is Kohaku and how he has to get him to stop clinging to Sango because she isn't coming back.

His footsteps are light as they move across the already burnt ground. Crouching, he reached out a hand, petting Kirara for a moment, whispering to her quietly. Finally, he moves towards Kohaku, reaching out just as he had done to the cat, placing his hand on his shoulder gently before speaking quietly.]

Come on. We have to get you home.

[ Kohaku doesn't mind the wait... well maybe. But his mind was currently elsewhere. She had to be alright, correct? She just had to be. Sango was always here for him, through everything. There was no way he would not do the same now. For her--

He can hear noise, quietly, but makes no move for such an indication. Maybe he wanted to, but the small rattle of his spine only shook his tears anew. That's when he felt it; the tiny touch pressing against his shoulder. The boy jumped, slightly alarmed, but a wave of relief washes over the boy's face when he finally realized who it was.

Oh Riku... ] W- we have to get to the clinic first, right? I'm not sure where it is. But Sango-- [ Another choked sob. He can't handle this-- ]

The clinic isn't safe, Kohaku. [Unohana had told everyone not to go there. If someone was hurt, they could call her, or another healer. Otherwise? They were reliant on hopefully knowing someone with healing powers who could reach them in time.]

We'll take her back home. I... I'll be able to heal her there. [It was a lie. And he knew it was likely that Kohaku would know it was a lie. But he had to get them both back there somehow.]

Just... trust me, okay?

I- it's not? [ Well, that was certainly news to him. With everything going on he had rarely paid attention to his device. What if... no one else saw this broadcast? What about his sister. Well, he was glad Riku was here at least...

But when he spoke of healing her, Kohaku became confused. He didn't know whether to believe it or not, but with his head clouded with so many emotions it was hard to tell what exactly he was feeling. So for now, he was going to try to trust him...

Yeah. Trust him. ]

Uh huh... [ It was just a whisper. Exhausted, pitiful. He took this moment to try to sit up, being very careful when doing so. ]

[Despite the way things currently are between him and your sister, Kohaku? You can still trust him. Because he had promises, a long time ago, that he would help her protect you. Now he was just going to protect you in her stead.

Moving closer, he reached for one of the other's hand, intent on helping him up.]

Come on. We're gonna call someone to come and help me take care of Sango, okay?

[ He knows a lot of things have been shaky lately yet even so he does, in truth, does consider you an older brother to him. So he will trust you, and depend on you, for as long as he is able.

Once the hand is outstretched to him, Kohaku lifts his blurry gaze and with a shaky hand extends it forward to try to pull himself up. That, in itself, was one of the hardest things Kohaku felt he ever had to do. His legs were wobbly and limbs refused to cooperate with any of the signals his brain tried to send out. Kohaku was a mess. ]

O... okay... [ Voice rasped and wounded, the boy suddenly drove into the Riku's arms. He was crying uncontrollably and looking for some sort of support. Yet this support... maybe he didn't deserve it at all in the first place. ]

This is all my fault! I'm the one who-- [ Another choked sob. He couldn't stand this. After finally being with her. After finally being able to call her his sister--

Why? ]

[There had been a lot of times during the course of his year within the city when he hadn't known what to do. And this? Was one of those times. His body froze for a moment as the other launched himself into his arms, and the full range of Sango's injuries, once blocked by Kohaku's body become visible. Even he had reached them faster, even if Kohaku had called for help earlier, he probably would have tried and failed to save her instead of being forced all at once to realize that there was no hope ( ... )

[ With the amount of crying the boy was doing, he had barely noticed his body being picked off of the ground. That was until it has landed once again. Now he blinked, a little confused, as tear filled eyes glanced into the older male's. He needed this support from him, whether he was properly able to give it to him or not. For him, Riku was one of the only people he had here.

Yet, when he told Kohaku to stay, the boy frowned. Stay here? Away from his sister? His body tensed, and with a small glance to the body that lied a few feet away from him he almost shook his head. But he couldn't be a burden, right? Not when he was a mess like this.

And so he nodded- ever so reluctantly. ]

M-mm. [ The sound came from the back of his throat, but it was a confirmation of sorts. R- right. Riku was here, so he could help his sister! Right... help... ]

[The message startled Axel when it arrived -- Riku, calling for his help?

But he owes the other man a thing or two, and he's already on his way as he searches the network for the video that would explain it. It doesn't take long. Just like her, to go out into a rain of fire with nothing but stubbornness to protect her -- they haven't spoken much, but he picked up on that much.

Dumb, but he can respect that particular variety of dumb.

The firey rain peels away from him, his element bending at least that much to his will, as he approaches the tree and the three figures near it. He raises his voice over the crackling of flames.]

You rang?

[He could sense the other approaching, even if he didn't show any outwards sign of it. He was too busy checking, or at least, acting like he was checking, to see if there was anything that could possibly be done for Sango, only to have his thoughts confirmed. She was already gone. And more than likely had been for some time.] Hey. Thanks for making time in your busy schedule. [His tone was calm, even a little sarcastic, not really letting on the gravity of the situation. At least, not yet.

Wiping his bloodied hand on his pants, he pushed himself upwards, turning his attention to the other. He didn't like having to call Axel for help, but all things considered, he was the best choice. Couple that with the fact that Axel owed him? And it had made the decision just a little bit easier.

He spoke quietly as he reached the other, intent on keeping the words from reaching Kohaku.]

I need to get them both back to the house. I can handle him, as long as you can handle her. [Because he's pretty sure Axel would rather take the one hundred ( ... )
