[Soon meant roughly ten minutes, since Kid relied on Beelzebub to get him where he needed to go. He had no idea what to expect- granted, he'd started to worry when Hikaru left and he hadn't heard a thing from her, but he knew whatever happened must be bad, if she couldn't even talk.
Steeling himself for the worst, he brought Beelzebub in for a smooth landing and scanned the surrounding area.]
[Ten minutes let her sit and prop herself against the wall by the door of whatever this building was, and she was starting to hate the smell of it -- too dank and there was so much blood. But she could hear him. Couldn't see him, but she could hear him. On instinct she tried to call out but it didn't work well with her lips th way they were; she haphazardly toyed with her phone to set the ringer off so he could hear something.]
[Straining for any sign of her, he heard he ringer, though just barely. He called out again:]
Keep it on, Hikaru, I'll follow the sound!
[He passed a couple warehouses, the ringer growing louder the closer he got to it, until he finally reached the right building, saw her sitting against the wall, but he couldn't actually gauge the extent of her injuries- not yet. But he smelled the blood.]
[She tried to raise her head to see him but her whole body ached at the movement. But since he was here now, she dropped the phone by her side, looking at him almost relievedly. She would've tried to get up, go to him, but her legs just wouldn't move -- the cuts were just too deep.
She was so angry at herself, letting herself get weak like this. She couldn't even raise her hand to so much aswave at him if she wanted.]
[He drew closer, the smell of the blood almost overwhelming, and crouched beside her, trying to keep calm, his face an expressionless mask. Though it was dark in the warehouse, he could make out the cuts all over her arms and legs- not mere scratches, either. They were so severe he was almost afraid to touch her, though he did reach out to smooth some of her hair away from her forehead, doing his best to ignore her mouth. Her mouth was the worst part of it.]
[She closed her eyes at the touch, trying her best to relax. Not for herself. She knew if she were trying to do this for her, she couldn't. But she'd try for Kid at the very least. But for the life of her, she just couldn't stop shaking, despite how tired she was. She made a soft noise; trying to say his name behind her lips, even if it was inaudible.]
[He wished there was more he could do for her, particularly considering the shape she was in, but he wasn't a healer. Tear was the healer, and he'd gotten in touch with her before he set out, thankfully. She would be there any minute, and not a minute too soon. Hikaru had lost a lot of blood already, and he had a feeling she was in shock.]
Don't try to talk. Tear should be along shortly. We'll take care of you.
[When the fonist had received the phone call she was out of the apartment and running across the City without even a moment's hesitation.
Over head her daemon, a tan and black song bird, was beating his wings furiously to keep up with her. She felt the knot in her stomach and the worry weighing down on her shoulders - the son of death had told her that the poor girl was injure because of a curse Tear had no idea what the curse was. With so many different ones occurring all at the same time she couldn't possibly fathom the one Hikaru had been forced to go through.]
"There they are!"
[Above her Enfinte, her daemon, dove down from his look-out up high to fly at eye level with her. And sure enough Tear spotted the two teenagers by the warehouse. The heels of her boots clicked against the pavement in her rush to reach them. Immediately the healer dropped down to her knees besides Kid. The knot in her stomach tightened as the condition of the poor girl fully registered
