At The Place I'll Return to Someday [Closed]
Date & Time: August 7th
Location: 1888 Japan
Characters: Kido & Kano
Summary: Mission here a.k.a. frolic around Japan, steal some dogs, spend time together, w/e
Warnings: THEY NEED TO HAVE EMOTIONAL TALKS AT SOME POINT
[It started with a text. Want to go somewhere? Let's go to Japan. Come on, you and me. Was she homesick? Did she just want to get out? Maybe she wanted to prove she could do this again; leading, fighting, being someone stronger. She'd had enough rest.
But it wasn't just that. She texted him for a reason. They were on the verge of...something. Just in the distance, she could see some sort of change waiting. There was a different future if she could grab his hand and drag him forward with her.
He agreed. Maybe he wanted to get away with her, too?
Kido changed into the clothes given - thankfully they let her take male ones - and pocketed their spending money. She listened to everything in their briefing, already focusing on the mission. They could easily hit up a few of those targets between their combined abilities. If they got done fast enough, they could enjoy themselves a little, too...
She walked down the streets that weren't familiar but closer to home than anything they had been given so far and thought out loud to Kano.]
This shouldn't be too bad. I can steal the artwork from the one member... we can probably both take the dogs from the other... Just get the one drunk and encourage the daughter to go out on her own...
[A beat.] We'd have to go with her though. I'm not letting her run off and get kidnapped or something...

Truthfully, he isn't sure if he can claim 'I am Kano Shuuya' when he doesn't know where that person is. Which is the 'Kano Shuuya' she fell in love with? Did he ever exist in the first place?]
Even if-- ah, let's assume, all right? Even if I became someone entirely different?
no subject
...I promise. I believe in you. [Ten years is a long time. What would a life without Kano be like? She doesn't want to know. Whatever he means, they'll be okay.] But I also promise... if you become someone you don't like, someone who goes against your heart, I'll get you back, too.
[She breathes out a shaky, weak laugh.] ...That kid was really stupid about the way he did things but determined to make the people he loved happy. That hasn't changed. So I'll protect that part of you. That's you.
no subject
You looked surprised when I told you. But I can't be saved, all right? Even if you say it isn't a problem for you...
He's crying again. He isn't aware of it until he feels something wet fall on his hand. Slowly, he returns her hug, turning his head so he can hide his face in her hair.
Sorry. I screwed up again.]
That makes Kido the knight of this story, doesn't it? That's funny.
no subject
Kido shifts her hold to bring him closer and smiles.]
Well, I'd be a bad princess. [A distant memory comes. Staring out the window on a rainy day and an envious feeling swelling in her chest. No one was going to come to save her. No one wanted her in the first place, so why would they save her?]
Mm, yeah, being your knight... would be pretty cool.
[Kido shuts her eyes and reaches up to stroke his hair.] ...If you need help, give a signal anytime. I'll be here. You don't have to ask, just... let me know somehow...
no subject
A cool signal or something? I need to try my best to think up of something impressive, then.

You're really taking this role seriously. Then again, it's like Leader to take almost anything that comes her way seriously.

I'll stay up with Kido. [But he doesn't move away.]
no subject
[She hesitates before stroking his hair again. Before, it was just to soothe him. The touch lingers this time, though, and she's grateful he can't see her face right now.]
no subject
He won't complain if she continues.]
