"Jin, we have to go," Kame says, tugs on the other's sleeve. "Jin, I mean it. We have to leave. Right now."
"Kame. What did I do?"
"Jin, I don't know, but we have to go."
"Kame, I did this."
"Jin, I--"
"Kame, are you looking at this?" Jin pulls himself out of Kame's grip. "Why are you here?" He looks at the other incredulously. "Do you see me? Do you see this? Do you see--"
"Jin, you didn't mean it. Let's go," Kame pleads, grabs his arm again. "They're going to come, Jin. And we can't afford--"
"Kame," Jin says very seriously. "Kame, I just killed a man. I just blew his head off, spattered the walls and floor with blood, and--"
"Jin--"
"Kame, I don't even remember it." He chokes, turns away reaches for a trashcan, smears blood on the bottom of his trainers in the process. He wretches, heaves. And as Jin empties his stomach contents, Kame is there hovering above him, pulling back stray hairs.
"Let's go, Jin."
"I'm sorry," Jin says.
In a blink, they're gone.

They are at a motel. Kame sits on the bed watching the news. Jin is in the shower. Steam comes out from under the door, and Kame is almost worried about how long the other has been in there (an hour). Until he hears his voice--bastardizing Western rap before hitting notes that no woman has business hitting and crooning about lost love and stars.
"...In Roppongi this morning, Yamamoto Ryuichi was found dead in his apartment...police are quite sure that it was a homicide...evidence found at the scene..."
Kame shuts the television off and lets his body drop backwards onto the bed. He stares at the ceiling, doesn't notice that Jin is done until the other hovers above him and water drips onto his face.
"Kame," he breathes.
"Jin," Kame says.
A knock on the door. "Police--" It's muffled.
Jin's hand goes for Kame's. He grips him strong, hard.
Kame pushes him away, moves toward their bags on the other side of the bed. "Put on some clothes, first," he hisses, throws clothing at the other as he shoves wads of cash into his pockets.
"Police--open up! We know you're in there--"
"I'm in the bathroom!" Kame calls, and he whips his head back toward Jin. "Are you ready?"
Jin nods. "You have everything?"
"Yeah," Kame says.
"We're going to come in--we have a key--"'
Jin reaches over and grabs Kame's hand, pulls him close, so they stand toe to toe. "This freaks me out, you know," he whispers, and his eyes are wide, his hair still wet.
"Close your eyes," Kame commands softly, and Jin does.
The door is opened and the cops come in, guns pulled.
All they see is a duffel bag of clothing on the ground and a towel on the bed. Steam comes from the bathroom, and a few agents inspect the small room.
"All clear, boss."
"What the hell--"

In Okinawa, two boys watch the sea. (The rain pours and pours and pours.)
"I messed up," Jin says.
"Yeah," Kame replies. "Yeah, you did."
"Sorry."
NO CROCODILES OR BATS OR CATS OR DOGS...but there is rain!!
"Kame. What did I do?"
"Jin, I don't know, but we have to go."
"Kame, I did this."
"Jin, I--"
"Kame, are you looking at this?" Jin pulls himself out of Kame's grip. "Why are you here?" He looks at the other incredulously. "Do you see me? Do you see this? Do you see--"
