[a few hours after this, it's mostly stopped raining. And if Itachi and Raphael go back to their rooms, they'll find a hastily scrawled note on their desk:

Help me. I know wh --- but it --- be at ---

It's wet, and the ink had bled, making some of it illegible. Where is Raikou tonight?]

[healingcock]

... hell. Raikou.

[hakabana]

[DOESN'T HEAR oliolio]

[necessaryevil]

*darts forward at top speed to grab Raikou's wrist*

Don't.

[healingcock]

[grabbing his other wrist]

Raikou, listen to me.

[hakabana]

I know what's going on. I can't make it stop.

[necessaryevil]

It's Mukuro, isn't it? If it is, this won't work. His illusions aren't like genjutsu.

[healingcock]

[not really sure what to say. so. just holding. :<]

[hakabana]

Yeah, I--a few months ago--

--I am NOT Shimizu anymore! I'm Kairoushuu's Wakachi! Shut up!

[necessaryevil]

The bet you made...

...Raikou.

[healingcock]

We figured it out, Raikou. Come on, come with us.

[tugging him]

[hakabana]

Just--please. Make her leave me alone.

[necessaryevil]

...I could attempt a genjutsu.

[healingcock]

[to Itachi]

Do you think it would help?

[necessaryevil]

I don't know for certain. Mukuro's illusions are somewhat different than my own. If it's a matter of controlling his perceptions it might help, though I don't know if it would permanently end Mukuro's illusion.

[hakabana]

[shutting his eyes briefly with a shaky breath]

I'm willing to try anything.

[healingcock]

Come with us. Being out here isn't going to make things better.
