[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Shane Kaijuu sighed slightly. He really didn't feel in the mood to be doing anything for the moment. Usually he wasn't so lazy, nor did he feel so lazy. It may have just been the fact that he was bored. He had to wonder some though, what was it that seemed to take him here, the old Shrine. He wondered if it may have just been the quiet of the place.

It was weird, and quite a strange and chilly place. He sighed slightly, his gaze seeming to sharpen. He had to wonder what he was doing in this place. He had run here many times before, yet he never had this odd thought till now. He shivered slightly as he felt the cool and brisk wind hit his face. He could definately say it was the winter coming to an end.

What seemed to annoy him the most was at school. He wondered if any of the other members had this type of problem. He closed his eye lids over his silver eyes thinking back to being in class, the females of the school running back and forth, lurking around corners and watching their crushes. Every last one of them seemed to be trying to get the courage to give the boy they liked their white day presents.

He sighed now, it wasn't just that that seemed to bother him, it was the teachers as well. They seemed to be giving more homework to the students possibly as a sign of a white day present for theur classes. It was the most absurd idea ever was all that Shane could think. He disliked his teachers, but maybe it was only the fact that he was quite late to all of his classes, coming and going as he felt like it. Though some didn't quite care as long as he passed the test and did his homework like he always did.

His homework was always something stupid, boring, and distasteful. He sighed slightly, his gaze staring ahead of him now. He was a bit tired of standing, and no one would most likely see him there, or even ask him why he was there. He sat down not, bringing his knees up to his chest slightly, and he rested his head gently on his knees. "What did I ever do to deserve this curse?" he asked himself. It caused him to be angry most of the time, or at least that was what he blamed his anger on. He let his silver gaze narrow slightly in agitation. "It's so d**n lonely," he murmured slightly, feeling a tear slide down his cheek.

This definately seemed to be a side of himself that he never seemed to show, for it made him appear weak, and when his emotions were expressed, he seemed to let down his guard a bit. He glanced around, blinking now, his gaze trying to brighten, yet it was quite glassy in appearance from the few tears he had let escape. He had the feeling that someone would show up, or something was going to happen. He wasn't quite sure what just yet, but he had to wonder if he was being watched, that if course was a feeling you constantly got when you were here, or at least that was how Shane had always seemed to think. He put a forced smirk on his face. "Is anyone there?" he asked aloud.

[Seijun]

The Kaijuu temple, the place in which the demons were sealed. From the story, it was also the place where Hachimata had cursed the family. The curse of being born a monster and dying as a monster. What makes it worse is the fact that the spirits keeps on trying to take over the holder's mind. It was the perfect revenge, for the snake most likely. After all, it hurts when people stare at you, you get paranoid and wonder if they know about the curse. If the they should have their memories erased. Having their memories erased was the worse part though, especially when it came to a family member.

The sun was high up, as it was somewhere near noon. The birds were flocking high up in the sky, spreading their wings. Chirps can be heard along with the rhythmic flaps. The fish were swimming in the pond causing starring at Seijun who has been starring at them. He slowly pulled out some fish food and threw it into the pond. His eyes reflecting them as they rushed in to eat as much as they can before the other fishes come. Their mouth, opening and closing with each and every small grain they can get. After all was eaten, they stared at the boy, obviously begging for more. Only, he didn't have anymore to give. He pulled out the cloth from his pockets to show them that he had nothing left. Although, part of him wondered if they even understood that body language or not. They weren't humans after all.

"None left." he spoke, his voice soft and barely audible. It was almost like snow, that would gently fall down and touch the ground only to melt. The soft gift from the sky, was hard to see when there is only one, but it's hard to stare at the exact same one when they are bundled in a group. The foxes voice wast he same, the only way for someone to hear him was for the surrounding to be quiet. There was generosity in his voice though as he really wanted to give them some more food but couldn't. He didn't grab enough before entering here.

The teen stood out, like sore thumb, with one of Kyuuka's latest project. It was the color of red and black, her favorite color combination for him as apparently it brought out his emerald green eyes. He never really understood those kind of fashions, but he wears them anyway nonetheless. The shirt was red, the pants was red and on top of him was a black ribbon of some kind with a red cross on it. The shirt went down towards his knees, and spread out just like a trench coat. His shoes, were black as usual, and he was really standing out. Glad that this was in his house, or at least the place he lives in anyway, rather than some kind of market or in the public. It would be so embarrassing. He sighed at that thought, as he shoved his hands, covered by black gloves. It was a good thing, that this had pockets.

Eventually, he walked into the temple, his sanctuary when his sister is out doing her job. He came inside and went into a small corner. Sitting down, he hugged his knees, in order to get a small break. The head once again, have had her fun with him, so much that she had gotten the gloves off of him and slashed at his hands. It wasn't a deep cut, but it still stung him. The effects was also long, and once he got away from her, he put on the black gloves. That was after he washed his hands and the water did not help it what so ever. Actually it made it worse.

After a small moment, he saw someone else come in. He recognized the person, it was Shane, one of his cousin. If he remembered correctly, he was one of the god's most trusted person in the cursed member. He didn't dare, make a sound, but he found himself, staring at the guy.He slowly, crawled towards the teen to get a better look.That was until he asked "Is anyone there?".

Seijun got surprised and jumped back hitting the wall. A small thud rang into his ears, as he tried to run to a different corner of the temple. He rather, not go back into the Hachimata's room right now after all.

[Seijun's clothes]

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Shane seemed to be questioning his sanity now as he had asked that question out loud in the open like that. It had always seemed to be quiet, and he came here for that reason, of course a lot of people enjoyed the quiet, and one of them was him.

He had always wondered if he had heard unnatural things when he was younger, but never mentioned them, as to he didn't want to bother anyone. He sighed slightly as he had gotten it through his head that he was just imagining things, which normally was the case from one who was alone all of the time.

He had to requestion that thought when he had heard a noise that clearly meant someone was in here, or at least something was there. He sighed after a moment, trying to figure out what exactly was going on.

He instantly stood up to investigate the noise, and definately had the thought of becoming angry if he was being stalked, especially by one of the girls at his school who seemed to follow him around trying to go unnoticed and squeal "Kyah! Kyah!" It would be just his luck if they knew where he liked to hide and also if they knew where he lived.

He first decided to search from the source of the noise, the clear choice and such. He smirked after a moment when he saw who it was, his cousin Seijun. "What are you doing here?" asked Shane after a moment, his silver gaze lightening slightly. "Shouldn't you be with the Hachimata?" he queried, raising an eyebrow.

Of course Seijun being here made him curious and suspicious. Why on earth would the male be here, or even have a reason to be here at all. He of course seemed to be very curious. It wasn't like him to be all personal or anything of the sort, though since his cousin was here he couldn't help but be curious, and because his cousin was here, he was even more curious.

It was definate to him though that he would receive an answer do to his power of being capable of getting an answer out of anyone. He wondered still though what it was though he knew his cousin wouldn't be able to reply. He was happy though that he trained himself not to be surprised from such sudden noises, this was good for him, he would have transformed if he hadn't done otherwise. He stared at the male now for a moment, his expression intense with a questioning manner. How would Seijun respond, that was what he seemed to wonder as he waited for a response.

[Seijun]

Shane soon found the boy, and walked up to him. Great, now what is he going to do? His mind, reflected on how the head would come up to him, making sure that he was trapped by the walls. The memories made him close his eyes and braced himself for any damage that might come his way. He didn't care if he looked weak or not like most boys. He didn't really have a reputation that he had to uphold anyway. For some reason though, there was no hits, no dragging back to the head's section or anything like that. He couldn't feel anything making contact with him other than the wind, the walls and the floor. He soon heard his cousin spoke, asking him a question. The first being what he was doing here. He couldn't say anything though so the second one came.

"Shouldn't you be with the Hachimata?"

His cousin had spoke that made Seijun fear even more. Although, it wasn't enough to transform, he was nearing there. If it was the head though, he surely would had transformed. Instead it was one of his cousins that was also a curse member, and that made things a lot better. He was used to being questioned by his cousins after all, especially on why he always obeyed the maids. Apparently it was something that was strange to most although it was perfectly normal to him. Maybe he was simply strange that way. His eyes moved towards the floor, to get away from the those eyes. Although, curiosity seems to get the better of him as he wanted to get a better view of the teen. Too bad, the eyes were so intent that it scared him making him transform. A small poof appeared out of no where and as the smoke went away, it revealed a fox with nine tails, shivering.

The fox had some scratched on its paws the same place that the head had slowly cut him. He tried to move back a little but found himself already on the wall, or at least his tails were anyway. The orange fox with white edges stared at his cousin for a small bit. He was trying to think of any lies that could get him out right now but couldn't find a single one. It only figures though seeing that he wasn't a good lying and that he hated lying. After all, it was dishonest and against his nature."Are you going to tell her?" he asked, his voice still soft just like his human self. He was obviously scared, of going back there which was why he was getting ready to run away if he needed to. He really rather not go to the head right now, especially with the fact that although she allowed the new girl to live in the house, she was still not happy about it.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Shane stared at his cousin knowing instantly that something was wrong, or something had happened that seemed to make Seijun quite fearful. He had to think about the situation a little, wondering just what was going on. He sighed, his intense gaze upon his cousin.

He sighed slightly, staring at his cousin still, as he saw his cousin transform. He wondered why the scratches were on him, but it concerned him that someone or something had happened to him to do that. He stared, his gaze stillintense, yet full of concern more. "What happened to your hand?" he asked his cousin after a moment or so.

."Are you going to tell her?"

He paused slightly, staring at his cousin. It brought up a matter of trust. He never wanted to betray anyone, for one of the things that he seemed to hate the absolute most were liars, and he never seemed to be the one for something like that. He wouldn't tell her his cousins location if it was a fact that the Hachimata was the one who had done this to him.

Knowing this fact made his stomach do a turn. What was honestly going on? He had to wonder that seriously. It was only a moment later that he noticed the big tension in the room. It seemed to make him a bit uncomfortable right now. He stared, his gaze lightening. "Tell me, Seijun, did the Hachimata do this to you?" He let his gaze rest only on the fox that stood before him.

He wouldn't let something bad happen, and would protct a member of his family, for he felt what he did was quite righteous, and even if he had to do something as horrible and betray someone's trust, he would know it would be for a good cause. He wasn't as horrible as he was made out to be, he knew that for sure, though never getting to know the others in the family well he was quite sure that they thought negatively about him, but maybe it was due to the fact that he was made out to be a quite troubled child since he had the habit of running away all of the time.

He knew he should do things for the best, and therefore was the reason he wanted to find a way to break the curse for he felt that then it would be better for everyone. He sighed after a moment, looking lightly at his cousin. "I shall respond to that question if you give me a clear reason to why you are here, and what indeed has happened to you," he finished, his gaze remaining soft as well as the tone of his voice.

[+Tsubaki+]

Shane… Tsubaki thought as she saw a glimpse of the Badgers silver hair from a distance. She saw him talking down to something. When she got closer she realized that it was Seijun in his cursed fox form. She felt a rush of pity pass over her like a cloud darkening her pure attitude. “Seijun…Come here.” She said as she arrived getting down to her knees holding out her hand for her cousin. “I won’t hurt you. No. I would never hurt you like she does.” She gently still holding out her hand. Though she did feel a bit uneasy and annoyed that the Kaku was here she decided to ignore the feeling.

The Kaku is the Badger of the Cursed animals. He can knowingly squeeze any information out of anyone and he is the closest to the Hachimata. This is what annoyed Soukou so much. Why was that person more important than she was? She could be just as useful if the Hachimata just gave her the chance she could even be better. Despite all the trust the God puts on this person…this animal he still goes off and lies to her face about the family she did though see the exception to the Gods current prey. Seijun. Her jaw clenched at the thought for a brief moment then focused on the fox again.

“What is this I hear? Passing off information? You know as well as I did no one else would do such a thing to us but that woman.” She said fiercely to her older cousin her pinkish red eyes almost glowing for a moment but then calmed down. She wanted Seijun to trust her more than Kaku. What was there to trust about someone when you could never know if their intentions were true? “Shane are you that blind?” She said not looking at him but keeping her gaze set on the fox.

[Seijun]

"Tell me, Seijun, did the Hachimata do this to you?"

Seijun, stared at Shane, like a lost child wondering if he should ask a stranger which way was home. He pondered whether he should or not, after all, if the Hachimata found out, she would definitely make things worse. After all, that was the one thing, that everyone agreed at what she was good out, making people's lives miserable and torture them. The idea made him winced even, as he was reminded of the pain when he felt the cold metal slowly making contact with his skin. Her living warm hands, for some reason feeling like ice to him in his mind, removing the black gloves that his sister had made for him. Her cold, harsh but yet smooth words, as she teased him and played around with his mind. Those words were for some reason, much sharper than the knife was even. He hated that moment, and so it was one of the rare times where he would try his best to run away from her.

The fox, slowly nodded at his words. He didn't say anything else though, as he rather forget what just happened. Although, he doubt that people would let him. After all, the world, always seems to always remind him of the bad memories rather than the good ones. Of course, he was sure, that it was like that for everyone. That was why adults never seem to be so happy when they get home, even when their family is there to greet them. After all, it's because they have their own thoughts and opinions, they complain about life. That was why, the boy rather just go with he flow, and listen to people but it never did work perfectly for him. The head, always had her way with him, with her words.

"I shall respond to that question if you give me a clear reason to why you are here, and what indeed has happened to you,"

Shane's voice was soft, so soft that it sounded human with compassion. That was something, most of the family would call fake but yet, to the young boy, it felt real. Perhaps it was because he was naive and always did believe whatever people told him but still, he listened to the guy. His eyes staring at him for a moment wondering if he should tell him or not. If he should say that he ran away from Hachimata, and that he wanted to go to the outside world, to hide from the head right now. That he wanted his sister to come back from work so that she could go ahead and take him into town, to dress him up or set him on some blind date with a random girl. Even though, he would usually be somewhat, annoyed, right now he would do anything for that to happen. For his sister, to laugh at his embarrassment. The Kyuubi was about to say something but a voice interrupted the two.

“Seijun…Come here.”

Huh? He cocked his head towards the right to see that his cousin, Tsubaki was there. Soukou, the bird that was close to pretty much all of the curse, well that is perhaps except for Shane. She always hated the badger, it was a small rivalry that they had, although, he didn't know why. She simply just hated the guy, it was quite obvious that someone has to be blind not to see it. After all, even the clueless Seijun can see that. As if by his animal instinct or perhaps, he needed someone that he knew he could tell, he rushed over to her. Although he didn't like her hand or anything like that, he wasn't a complete animal. He still had some human left inside of him, whether or not the form shows it or not.

“Shane are you that blind?”

The fox wanted to say something to defend his cousin but he couldn't find the voice in him to say it. Perhaps it was because of how her eyes had stare,no glared at him. It made a small shock run down his spine. He felt fear from her, a side of her that he didn't see so often. Now he didn't know who he should tell his story to. He really wish Kyuuka would come back right now. That way, he could leave the place, go into town and forget about it.

{Hmm, maybe you should had chose Ikuto for Shane's appearance. They both seem to be misunderstood. Lol}

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Shane blinked slightly as he felt another presence in the room, it wasn't of a strangers though, that was what he was definately sure of. He couldn't mistake this presence at all no matter how hard he tried or how much he wanted to. He sighed breathing out a little more roughly as he felt a chill run up his spine. The voice he heard was definately her, no mistaking that tone, it was Tsubaki whom had just called out to Seijun.

Seijun listened to her harsh words. He didn't care what she thought about him. He seemed to not care one bit. Of course if she told the head, the Hachimata what he had been doing, that certainly wouldn't be good for him. Though, he would certainly make it all look like a lie, for he knew that he had to defend his cousin. Letting someone become abused when you know it's happening right in front of you certainly is what you would call, or maybe even declare criminal.

He sighed after a moment, turning his gaze to Tsubaki, it was now a burning silver color. It seemed to burn intensly, so intense that it made some fear to come near him, though some still dared to near him at school. He opened his mouth now, to utter a retort in his cool and intense tone. "I am not the blind one, nor do I need to hear from you," he snapped. "What are you doing here anyways? Trying to check up on me, or stalking me?" he insisted, wondering if it was some attempt to keep an eye on him. Shane wasn't quite sure why, but he always seemed to wonder why Tsubaki didn't seem to trust him at all, and through that, he kept distancing himself from her to try and keep away problems, but that seemed to make a bitter and fierce rivalry of some sort between the two of them.

He closed his eyelids over his eyes wondering to himself if he should even be here. If he hadn't been there, maybe none of this would have ever happened. He knew one thing for sure, and that was that he was neither foolish, nor was he blind to the true intentions that the Hachimata bestowed them, which of course made life worse and worse for the family members, and pretty much to the point of where Shane had to call it a living hell on Earth.

He stared at Seijun now, wondering what exactly his cousin would do now. He meant no harm at all towards his cousin, but for some reason, he didn't think it would be right for Seijun to go to Tsubaki. "I wouldn't trust her well, Seijun," he sneered slightly, glaring a bit at Tsubaki, surprising himself with the tone of voice that he had just used. He actually felt a bit guilty for how he was, and had been treating her, but there seemed to be no way to forgive those cruel words that he had uttered to her. He shook his head slightly. This seemed so frustrating. Why was everything in his life so difficult? That was what he always seemed to wonder. If he could have one question answered, it probably would be that, but years down the rode, he probably would have another question. He shook his head slightly, trying to clear the cluttered thoughts from his mind.

He watched his cousin nod in response to the question he had asked a little before those thoughts, and nodded. He figured it was the Hachimata's doings, so he would do the right thing and protect his cousin. He hated to do these things, but if his cousin was the one being hurt over it, then he wouldn't let something like that continue. The abuse was cruel, and more than that, just flat out heartless, something that he didn't quite need to keep happening in the family.

He stared at Seijun whom seemed very frightened and maybe in a way petrified of them both for how they seemed to act. He shook his head slightly, speaking to him gently now. "Seijun, it'll be alright. I. . . won't take you beack there." he nodded in confirmation, his face and gaze quite promising, and being a character as he was, he was purely and flat out honest to him. He would in fact take him away from the Hachimata from now if that was what he needed. He knew that was probably what he wanted anyways, so he sighed slightly, gazing at him, hoping, and in the slightest way, praying that his cousin would trust him, and let him in slightly, for Shane actually wanted to start helping instead of mindlessly obeying others, he wanted to be more rebellious now, and he wouldn't even care about the punishment, it didn't matter to him anymore, as long as he was able to ensure the saftey of others, he was sure that he could endure the suffering and pain if it all came to that in the end. He kept smiling, quite genuinely, something that he hadn't seemed to do for a very long time. He also exteded a hand to Seijun, hoping to help him, for better or worse.

[+Tsubaki+]

Tsubaki’s gaze weakened and her focus was no longer on the fox. Looking back to the silver haired man she wished she could tell him how she really did feel. About how she felt about him and about the curse. About the Hachimata and well…just everything. A foolish thought it may be she just needed someone to be there for her as much as she Is there for everyone else. Alright enough with the mush she thought with a small nod and she rised back up onto her feet.

“Know this Shane. It is what you have that I lack not how I truly feel about you.” She said with an almost monotone voice. After his last comment: “I wouldn’t trust her well, Seijun and then there was “Trying to check up on me, or stalking me?” She hated that they were so cold with each other but as much as it was fun she wanted it to stop. Looking back at Seijun. “Change back or stay that way whatever.” Still in a monotone she started turning away back to the main house. She didn’t want to leak anything right now. She couldn’t handle it.

[Seijun]

“Change back or stay that way whatever.”

Tsubaki had spoke, starring at Seijun, with those plain eyes. The eyes, that always seems to be so disconnected to society. It was something that most would probably wonder on how she was so close to people so easily. She walked off, leaving the two, at the temple, although, as the boy stood there and watch her leave, he wondered what happened. What was it that made her so angry all of a sudden? Why was it that she had always hated Shane? She said it was something she lack, but what would she lack? She was almost like perfection after all, he even heard that she was in the school student council even, so what did Shane have? Was it the power to gain information so easily or was it something else? He watched her slowly, growing smaller as she walked away until she was completely gone.

Seijun, it'll be alright. I. . . won't take you back there."

The fox stared at him for a moment, contemplating. That was when he noticed something, his cousin was smiling. It wasn't like a smirk though, but something real. It felt warm, and as he stretched out his hand, he transformed back into his human self. His body, had clothing on, as he stood up. His hands, now covering the marks that the snake had made on him. He slowly, proceeded over towards his cousin. His mind, still in a daze as he wondered why Shane wasn't going to turn him in. Was this a trick? it didn't seem like it, but who knows, it could be. That was the scary part, to put your trust in someone but then have it taken away by a crushing event. He stood there, wondering if he should grab the hand or not, as he was nervous. Anxiety, gnawing on him, who was he suppose to trust?

He looked down at the hand, and knew that he was going to need an ally. Someone to protect him when his sister is at work, and Shane didn't really have anything to do after school. Great, now he was going to have to think for himself, because he knew that it was one of those situations. He wasn't good at those though. He never thinks for himself, he just have others do it for him. God, he wished that he could just leave this to a coin or something but he knew that it would be stupid. Starring at his cousin's face once again, he nodded to himself and took the hand."Will you really get me away from here?" he asked, his voice low as he was trying to hide away the insecurities that he was hiding.

[Ravenna Sohma/Shane Kaijuu]

Shane seemed to wonder what exactly Tsubaki seemed to mean about he had something that she didn't. Was that the reason she seemed to hate him so much? He had to keep wondering that smae question over and over again as he felt his head spin from just listening to what she seemed to say.

Change back, he wondered what it meant. He wasn't quite sure what she meant by that. It was weird, he never could see eye to eye with her anyways, and it wasn't because she was a girl and that he was a guy, it wasn't that fact at all, it was only the mere fact that they were so different, and maybe also it was a fact that he seemed a little more branched away from everyone else from his past. He was a rebel, and he couldn't change that fact. He let her words run through and around her mind over and over again, now he could see the words moving in his mind, even moreso when he closed his eyes. He could see a lot of things, and that was definately what he had always wanted to do, to be able to expand his mind to new thoughts and ideas. That was all that he wanted to do growing up, to be able to see things differently, in another light, but he seemed to wonder, was this actually what he had imagined and thought about. He let his mind clear slightly.

His gaze now focused on her form. He watched her leave, not wanting her to leave, but in the same respect wanting her to leave. It was odd really, he wanted to get along with her, but he could never find reason to let himself get along with her, nor find the peace of mind to seem to let him do so. He sighed as he watched her disappear and leave, feeling a little helpless, but he immeadiately let the feeling disappear as his gaze returned upon Seijun.

He watched his cousin seem to think about what to do, and felt a little bit guilty, but didn't seem to know why at first. Then he realized the lack of trust may have been from him spending a lot of time away from the family, for he had hated them growing up, well, it was mostly the adults and not his cousins, but they seemed to have been the ones punished as well for when he ran away from the adults, he ran away from them.

He couldn't do anything but smile bigger from his hand being taken by Seijun. It was all he seemed to ask for, just one chance, and that was all that he had ever wanted. This was his chance to prove himself, that he could think for himself, and that it simply wasn't just the Hachimata that thought for him and made decisions for him, he wanted to be his own person, and make a differeance, and that was his major decision now.

"Will you really get me away from here?"

Shane seemed to smile a bit more warmly towards his cousin. "I promise you that I will if you want that." His silver gaze seemed very gentle and light now, something that was full of compassion, something that Shane hadn't used before on another person, even the ones he took honestly. He wasn't going to lie, this was a promise, and he wouldn't break it for the world. He wanted to gain everyone's trust, and he would start it, little by little, step by step till one day he was goood enough to be trusted by everyone from the family, even though he waqs the troublesome kid who had always run away as a child. He would just be happy like this, contented with doing what he wanted and making himself a better person in everyone's eyes. "Do you have an idea of where you want to go?" Shane asked after a moment, his silver gaze focusing on Seijun carefully.

[Seijun]

"I promise you that I will if you want that."

Did Seijun want that? He wanted to leave this place, but what if his sister comes back and he's not there. Now he really wished that he had a cellphone to call her. His parents never gave him because his mother doesn't remember him and his father simply ignored him. He couldn't blame the two though, to have such a strange kid for a child. That was why, they gave her a phone and simply ignored him. He didn't really mind it though, since the only person he really talks to is Kyuuka. So it didn't matter at all to him really and it would be a waste seeing that they live in the same estate. Besides, he didn't really want to bother his parents into wasting their money anyway, not that they would if he even asks. They would probably just ignore him and move on.

He looked back at the Hachimata's section and found something strange. She wasn't looking for him right now. How come? Maybe she was just bored with him already. Should he take the chance and decline then? No, he wanted to get away from the place right now. He needed to get away from this place, he needed to simply forget about this and go outside. To go outside and not be scared of anyone chasing him. He just wanted to get far away from this place, as far as possible and simply come back later.

"Do you have an idea of where you want to go?"

Huh? Where did he wanted to go. He wanted to get away from this place but he didn't really have an exact clue on where he wanted to go. Part of him wanted to go to Kyuuka's workplace, but at the same time, he prefer not to as she would dress him up a lot and he wasn't exactly in the mood for it right now. If only it wasn't winter or else he would go to the beach. It would be fun, standing on the sand, and chasing the seagulls. He always saw a lot of people talk about the place, although he had never been there himself. At least, he didn't remember ever going to the beach anyway. He might have when he was young, and simply forgotten it as he grew up. There were a lot of possible answers after all. That was when it hit him, there was a place that he kind of wanted to go right now."The cemetery."

Once the words, left the boy's mouth, his gaze lowered onto his gloves. He wanted to go visit her, even though she probably wouldn't want him at her grave. He had always wanted to apologize, for being different, for being the cause of her death. Yet, he felt like it wouldn't make a difference. He could apologize to her and her family a million times, and the fact will still never change, that she was dead and nothing can be done about it. She won't just come back to life just because he apologizes. That was why, he never did in front of her grave, after all, she probably wouldn't accept it."There' someone I want to visit there." he added.

Shane stared at his cousin inquiringly and ever so gently. He wondered what thoughts seemed to go through his head. Whatever they were, it seemed to be about the decision about where in the world he wanted to go. He wondered though if it was about what he was going to do if he did leave, and also the amount of time. He just wasn't too sure what was going through his mind.

."The cemetery."

That one sentance made Shane wonder what or who exactly he wanted to see in the cementary. It seemed to interest him a lot, and of course he had the thought to inquire about it, but he decided against it. His thoughts went elsewhere. He wondered though over and over again what he could possibly want to do in the cementary, though he was unsure of what to say anymore.

He stared intently but calmly at him. "Are you sure about this?" he had to ask this one question. Some people seemed to speak the first thing on their mind. He didn't believe Seijun to be like this at all, but it was the first thing that he could think of.

"There' someone I want to visit there." he added.

It made a little more sense when he heard that from his cousin, but he wondered who. "Who exactly?" he asked after a moment in thought as he tried to sift through his mind possible names or peoples graves that Seijun may want to visit. It still seemed to be a bit clouded in his memory, so he stared at Seijun hoping to get an answer. He wondered over and over again as he waited who it could possibly be.

[Seijun]

"Who exactly?"

Shane had asked Seijun, obviously curious about the person that the fox wanted to visit. Now that he had thought about it though, images of the accident popped in and out of his head. It was almost like an old movie that would keep on flashing black and then going to normal only to flash to black again. Her voice repeating in his mind, everything about her, all the moments that they had together. Only to be burn away on her last words to him. Although, when he was a the car accident, he came up to her and heard her real last words. He couldn't understood what she was saying though, but it took her a lot of energy for her as she died right after that message."I...hate...you...Seijun...because...you...are..." she never finished her last word, but he knew what she was going to say. She hated him because he was not normal.

"A friend and old crush of mine." he started, as he tried to put on a light smile. It wasn't that he was trying to act tough, but rather he was trying to reassure himself that it would be okay, because they were still friends, or at least, to him they were."Hikari Mika." he stated. He didn't want to tell, his cousin the whole story though, since it was something that he didn't want to burden others. Also, he didn't want to talk about those memories because if he does then that would mean that he had to admit it. He had to admit that he was the blame for her death but yet he is allowed to live. Why was it that she had to be the one to die? So many people had cried at her funeral. If it as him, no one would care and it would had been much better that way.

"Do you know her?" he asked, trying to get rid of the thoughts that were in his head. On that day he had stated the same thing and Kyuuka yelled at him for that. She stated that if he died, she would had cried so much that the world would drown because of her tears. It was obviously an exaggeration but she stated that she would cry for him. She would cry so much that people would think that she was crazy so he had better not think about it. Perhaps it was because people like to do things they're told not to do, but every once in a while, the thought would always come back to haunt him.

Shane stared at his cousin a bit curiously now, his silver gaze just staring at his cousin. He had been wondering over and over again whom his cousin had wanted to visit, and of course he seemed to be a bit interested with the thought of who Seijun could want to visit that was dead. He stared a little more at his cousin till he was able to hear an answer now.

"A friend and old crush of mine." ."Hikari Mika."

Shane nodded in response. He wondered if he had met her before or anything like that. He seemed to now sift through his memories as he tried to put a face to the name. He smiled slightly. “Alright,” he finished nodding in confirmane. Well, at least he got an answer, right?

"Do you know her?"

Shane blinked a few more times now. It seemed to be a bit awkward to be asked that question, but after several long moments, he extended a hand slightly. It was different, beyond the usual normal things that he was asked normally. He couldn’t do anything but pause, so that was what he did. “No, I don’t he responded after a brief moment.
