[She wakes in her room the next morning, her heart pounding. Dead. She'd been dead. And she couldn't really judge for how long.

Walking over to the phone, she picks it up and is quiet for a long moment. She doesn't know what to say, she's probably worried so many people!]

I'm back. I'm sorry for worrying you all.

...I don't--

...

I'm sorry. [

[Mukuro's been waiting for you]

Good morning. I see you've been reborn. Thankfully, it's not as obnoxious as Tsunayoshi's.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She blinks, unsure, trying to let her brain catch up with the rest of her]

Yes, I've come back. I... I'm sorry. Are you alright?

[rogue_pineapple]

I am better now. Did you dream while you were dead?

[kindlichekaiser]

I did. Of flying, and colors.

[Pause. She moves forward and wraps her arms around his waist, burying her face in his shirt. She doesn't cry, but her breathing is uneven and halting]

[rogue_pineapple]

There there. [holds her tightly, not like he was worried or anything]

Interesting dream. Perhaps it signifies something.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She gives him a light squeeze] I was afraid. For the first time in a long while, I was honestly afraid of my death.

...Do you think so? [She lets out an unsure chuckle]

[rogue_pineapple]

The first time is always the hardest. What I want to know is why someone would murder you.

Before I was reborn as a human, I dreamt I fell from a high place into a deep dark stream. Since this existence is like that, I figure your dream means what's ahead of you.

Or maybe your soul was just bored.

[kindlichekaiser]

I don't know... I don't think they were after me, specifically. I remember claws... and red eyes. Bright red eyes.

[She shivers and clings more, listening to him quietly before speaking softly] I don't believe in things like that, Mukuro. I think perhaps it was just a dream my mind made up to pass the time before I came back.

[rogue_pineapple]

You're probably right about that. Bright red eyes huh. Sounds like a vampire.

[kindlichekaiser]

A vampire...?

[rogue_pineapple]

More cultural shock? Why do'nt we go inside and have a cup of tea while we talk about things? I think that would be best.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She pulls away from Mukuro then and nods slowly, moving to step inside.]

My whole body aches. [Sigh] Remind me to try to avoid being killed again.

[rogue_pineapple]

[chuckles softly] I shall do my best at that. [takes her hand to lead her inside]

But we can't avoid it forever.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She takes his hand, sighing softly]

Perhaps not, but I'd rather avoid it until a much later time.

[rogue_pineapple]

[leaves her at the table and takes over the kitchen, making tea]

[softly] So would I, actually.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She takes a seat and watches him quietly]

Do you not think you can? Put it off, I mean?
