First Memory

[Action for those in the area/Audio for the rest]

I had the bathroom FIRST, Zero! If you're just going to ignore me, I'm going to open the--

[Stopping mid-sentence, Yuuki freezes in shock. Eyes wide, she glances around her nervously.]

Z-Zero...?

[Turning around several times, she looks for the familar form of her companion, or something that she

[He's taking a walk, he sees Yuuki who is further away from him but he pretends he doesn't notice (feel free to have Yuuki mistake him for Zero or something)]

I'm assuming it's dusk, so it's much more difficult to tell in the fading light <3

[guardianhime]

[Still speaking with Shiki, Yuuki notices a gray-head off in the distance, turned away form her. Almost immediately she feels relief overwhelm her. finally something familar. In this strange place, how was it that he'd appeared somewhere farther away from her.]

J-just a minute...[she says to Shiki, before turning toward the tall form of what she thought to be her companion.]

ZERO! There you are! [Running over to him, she speaks as she nears him.] I was really worried for a little bit there. I thought that I had appeared alone. I really don't understand what's going on.

okay, cool <3

[loyallydevoted]

[He hears Yuuki call Zero's name along with her running over to him, and he frowns slightly at being mistaken for his twin, before turning to face her as she approaches him]

Wrong person, Yuuki-- guess again.

[Surprise flashing across her face, Yuuki stops abruptly, hardly able to believe her eyes. Immediately she falls into a half way defensive position, her hand hovering near the compartment that she always kept Artemis concealed upon herself in.]

Ichiru! W-What...What are you doing here?

[loyallydevoted]

[He completely disregards her stance towards him and just shrugs. It's clear to him that she doesn't remember being her before given her attitude towards him now]

Pretty much the same thing everyone else is. We're stuck here in this City. You and Zero were here in this place before, you know.

[guardianhime]

[Not dropping her guard, Yuuki watched him warily. The last time they had met, had been the night she had almost foolishly given herself to Shizuka. It was a decision that she had mixed feelings on, and regret. Ultimately, she knew now that it would have only hurt him.

When Ichiru had disappeared from the school though, he'd vanished, declaring that both Zero and Kurosu Academy were to blame for the pureblood's death. This was not a person to trust.]

I don't have any memory of a place like this before, Ichiru-kun. I don't know what you're talking about.

[loyallydevoted]

Well that's obvious.

Has this place been explained to you?

[guardianhime]

S-Sarcastic like his brother...and why would he want to help explain something to me anyway...

I know that it's supposed be impossible to leave...

[She didn't know if it was a good idea however, telling him just how little she actually knew about the place.]

[loyallydevoted]

Here-- [He tosses over the guide over to her]

That should help.

[Ichiru figured she would be wary of him given how little she knows about what he intends to do or even what happened that led to his death, but she was important to Zero, so he might as well offer her some help, even if she would most likely wonder why he would do such a thing]

[guardianhime]

[Surprised, Yuuki catches the guide in the air. Glancing down at it, she looks slightly confused.]

A guide...why would..[shaking her head, she decides it's not important to ask him why he'd even offer something helpful to her. She needed to be careful.]

Are you alone here...Ichiru-kun?

[loyallydevoted]

[He wasn't sure if Shizuka-sama was already aware that Yuuki was here or even if she wanted to reveal that she was here yet to her so he cautiously looked towards Yuuki]

...Does something like that even matter?

[guardianhime]

So I know just HOW careful I have to be. Now that Shizuka is gone...I don't really know what he's been up to.

I just wondered...[she said, simply leaving it at that.] You make it sound as though you've been here a while then...

[loyallydevoted]

Right, well yes-- I have been here for a while...since the beginning of May here.

[guardianhime]

[Surprise filtered across her face.]

That's impossible...it was past May..when you disappeared from the academy.

[loyallydevoted]

Disappeared? ...So that's what you last remember then?

This place messes with time a lot, it moves a lot differently here too. It's September here now, so I've been here for a while.
