-- 5 Teddy Bears --

[Hinata had been spending a lot of time in her room as of late. Burying her worries about Shiro and home, along with some motion sickness form being on a train for so long, had caused Hinata so spend the majority of her time in bed. She'd gone out to the dinign car to have a sandwich or some soup now and then but mostly she just stayed curled up in

::Walks quietly up behind her just in time to see her draw the heart::

... That's really sweet.

[histeddybear]

[Hinata, totally oblivious to the world around her as always, jumped at the sudden voice.]

EEK! R-Ryoji-san!

[She gave an awkward smile.] W-Where did you come from?

[watch_us_fall]

Oh.
::Points out the door behind him::
Just wandered in. Who're you writing to?

[histeddybear]

Oh.. [She didn't remember leaving the door open, but she hadn't been paying much attention when she came back from eating, so it was possible that she had.]

Just someone from back home. The conductor said there wasn't any way to get in touch with him but writing letters makes me feel better anyway.

[watch_us_fall]

I see.
::Smiles, looking at the letter::

Maybe I should try that sometime.

[histeddybear]

I feel bad. He's probably so worried about me. I hope the police haven't been involved...

You should! It's really made me feel better! And maybe when I go home I can bring all of the letters with me to show him!

[watch_us_fall]

You shouldn't feel bad. It's not your fault you're stuck here, after all.

[histeddybear]

[She gives an awkward laugh.] But I always make Shiro-chan worry about me, so I can't help but feel bad.

[watch_us_fall]

::Pauses, looking touched by her words. He kind of wishes he had someone to worry about and write to like she does::
... You're a sweet girl, Hinata.

[histeddybear]

[Hinata blushed and shook her head.] Ah.. I.. [She laughed.] I'm really not anything great like that.

I just don't want him to worry after how happy he's made me!

[watch_us_fall]

You are, though. Look at how you're worrying about him.

[histeddybear]

B-But he always worries first!

Back home he called me every day. Sometimes twice even! Just to make sure that I hadn't gotten kidnapped again!

[watch_us_fall]

Kidnapped... again?

::Now it's Ryoji's turn to look worried::

[histeddybear]

It's eleven times if you count being here. But Teddie-chan said that this doesn't count, so I think it's still ten.

[watch_us_fall]

Is there any particular reason you're kidnapped so regularly?

[histeddybear]

Cause then my dad will pay ransom.
