This is it. There's no turning back now. From this point on it's no way but forward.

Kuronoe, I've made sure that Ayame won't bother you while I take this walk of mine. I need to walk alone for now. Maybe tomorrow we'll walk together, but for now this is a solo operation. I plan on being back in an hour, but if I take longer than that, go ahead and ( Read more... )

The two of us have been separated for so long that I guess I forgot all of the signs, the hints to his fear and pain. For a second I allowed myself to believe that he was getting better, but he wasn't. All of that suffering was for nothing. Kuronoe deserved none of it. While he was suffering, I was fooling around trying to find him. How many times ( Read more... )

Mother is here, safe and sound. Kuronoe is getting better. Ayame sleeps outside of his regular room. And here I am, worrying about a second upcoming confrontation with Karasu ( Read more... )

...You idiot.

{Kurama's actually insulting himself, not anyone in particular. X] ♥}

[Locked from Kuronoe];

It's been so long since I've felt this way, but this helpless feeling...I can't trust Karasu's words. Or can I? At the moment it seems so easy because the pain...I know Kuronoe is suffering. I need to find him. He needs to be saved.

I feel like that day so long ago is repeating all over again. The day he told me to escape. I ( Read more... )

I was walking home when I discovered that my home is not here. Or it should be here, but it isn't this place is different. Ayame is still here, however. I'm at least glad for that.

Mother and Kuronoe are gone. The house is empty save for Ayame and myself. No matter how far I run to find them, I always return.

There are barely any traces of Karasu. It ( Read more... )

I'm going back out after I've briefly eaten something. Food keeps up one's energy and focus, and I need plenty of that.

I dislike the cold and I dislike these threatening monsters. I feel as if they will burst inside at any moment. I feel a pull to hover close to home, but I must do my duty. Mother should be safe with Kuronoe as long as he behaves ( Read more... )

When I asked for a talk in person, I wasn't expecting a confrontation or a fight. At the moment I'm taking a break to allow myself to heal. I won't take time away from the police force; even if I end up limping or on crutches, I'll continue on. What was only to be a simple shopping trip for groceries turned into something dangerous. I was rather ( Read more... )

Karasu...did you do this? We need to have a word in person.

 He wasn't there. I was safe.

I enjoyed the gala. I went along with Mother and Kuronoe, and there I saw Yukina, Shido and the lord. I don't know what else to actually call him...

It was nice to attend something so nice. There was a company get-together not long ago while I was working for my step-father, but that was the last time I dressed formally ( Read more... )
