(GS3) Field: Umano Underground Slums

[Cherry]

"I didn't leave for my own reasons. Not in the way I wanted to."

Best to tell him now over never. She took his hand when it came close, and gently pushed it toward her own cheek. Trying to find some solace in it, having missed the feeling.

"I fell into a coma the day I was supposed to leave. I was sent to Mount Fuji to be isolated from others, save a few doctors, as I got my training. I don't believe father would have mentioned this..."

... Yugure regretted even mentioning it actually. Did it even matter? Her own reasons or not, the fact remains that she was still gone. Eye contact brought fear into heart, firmly believing the cause was being a living mess. Hearing him apologize just confused her. As she stated before, if she didn't deserve this, why did it happen? A deep, shaky sigh escaped her lips.

"I still love you... Of course I'll have you... I should be asking you if you'll have me..."

[Hope]

Isabella sat along outside, a few dudes were fist fighting. Pretty cool. She assumed that Haruka was either dead or crying. Actually she just went straight up to the assumption that they were already over it and making out, but either way, good for them. She got really bored and decided to Cardfight a few times, the usualy daily practice. Duos as they were now felt connected to her in full, especially Meer who's break ride skill put the offensive and defensive advantage that the deck needed forward.

Mi-hime didn't want to tell her issue with the disease, but that made her think about it even more. The fact that Mi-hime refused to tell, means that there was something that she knew. Hana sighed as it was her desire to keep Mi-hime comfortable and free to say as she wishes while also being able to help her. There's that small conflict.

After playing a few fights, she continued back to more daydreaming and coversating with quartet of cute mascots.

[Jello]

The moment his hand finally laid against her cheek his heart pulse had finally come back to normal. He had been so nervous, so afraid, so anxious she would reject his feelings because of his dumb selfish act.

Haruka simply moved in closer. He listened. He understood. With a nod, he simply allowed his eyes to hone in on her. He wasn't going to do anything anyways, but having his attention set on her was good. She needed to know he was listening because misunderstandings now were not an option.

"Coma... I guess I wouldn't have been told anyways then. Keep my mind in tact haha... Your old man is kind enough to do me that favor then." Haruka was actually terrified for her sake. He didn't know if she was still okay, but the topic was something he decided lingering on it would only make this unfathomably distressing.

He leaned in, his hand remaining on her face, and that was fine. Whatever she needed to keep herself organized, since she seemed to be even worse off than he was right now. He tilted his head, as a very small smile rose to his face. Did she even have to ask?

"I'll always have you. You're welcome with me." He nodded, emphasizing his point.

She seemed to be nearly shaking. Haruka had actually not noticed she was in this state until just now, too busy wandering around the vast planes of her eyes. He  took her in his arms. It was the normal to do this with couples, right? Embracing? Except Haruka was perhaps holding her a bit too tight. He just didn't want to lose her again. He really, really...

"I don't want to lose you like that again."

[Cherry]

Sort of lost, she stared into his eyes as if starring into space. Why did he love a woman who simply embodied failure and always wound up thinking of herself? Why was she even angry at him when she's the awful one? Yugure just wanted to be so mad and relieve the stress of the rage, but when an opportunity came to take it out on him, the emotion didn't rise. It was stagnant - strangled even if she had to describe it. All that was really desired was for Haruka to not be dissatisfied with her; for him to want her more than someone else.

Yugure wanted to truly be good enough.

His gaze and gentle caress from hand seemed to be telling her she was... at least, she hoped that's what was being conveyed. That Haruka loved her, and he wasn't tired of her.

Haruka had pulled the shaking girl in for a hug. It was a tight squeeze, yet a welcoming one. Yugure buried her face in his shoulder, clinging onto him.

"Please don't leave me..."

[Jello]

She was frail. Despite her being a strong soldier, and somebody Haruka had relied on for his own safety as well, she was frail. The anger that was originally present when he arrived had all dissipated. He doesn't know what it was that turned her mood, and whether or not it made sense... well Haruka didn't care anymore. What he cared about was that she loved him back and didn't intend to just give up on him. She might have been better off leaving the nuisance of a boy behind, but he was so so so glad she didn't.

Her face landed in the crevice of his shoulder and neck, nestled in tight. The petting began, like normal. This became a sort of occurrence with the two now. Despite the cool of her cheek, the rest of her body remained warm within his tight embrace. He kissed the top of her head, letting time stop. He didn't resist her, not even a little bit.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

...

He put little pecks on the edge of her ear and her cheek too, slowly pulling away a bit until her lips were his target.

Haruka came to remember something Yukino did in the park with his bottom lip.

Once he had a hold of her, he let his actions do the talking. A long kiss, mimicking what she had done to him in the park then, sucking and biting. Slowly at first, not letting her go like he had tried to do back then. The only thing running through his head was, er.

Nothing, actually. It sort of went blank after the word "soft" came to mind.

The saliva came after pulling away. It was strange because he wasn't exactly sure if he found it appealing to do that or kind of messy. Both, he supposed.

"I won't leave." He added, wiping his the thread that was produced off his lip. He nodded, taking her hand, hoping to finally leave the dirty slum base. A makeout session was cool and all but it felt weird standing in a place he could have identified as a jail cell before.

"Er, I think Hana had something to say to you actually... She came with me, but didn't really say much after we left the park." He scratched the back of his head, blush somewhat rising. The feeling of the kiss started replaying in his head.

He decided he liked it, messy or not.

[Hope]

Isabella decided to make some friends and have an outdoor concert over and around Umano since the weirdos were having the eternity long make out session in their box. More or less she just started singing casually with some instrumentals playing from her phone since she was bored. A random guy thought it sounded pretty "dope" and thus encouraged her to continue onward.

As she did, she attracted quite the crowd, muscle bound beefcakes were among them. It was not limited to this well toned demographic, there lean and scrawny fans as well. For some reason Isabella started classifying the different fan demographics by muscle size. Whatever worked.  For some reason she also thought that it would be totally cool if her rapper name was "Hey Yo Pineapple," and why F CHOPPER KOGA doesn't do that, but then again... Who would name their kid F CHOPPER KOGA?

 She was digressing.

After a few sweet tunes, Isabella made a makeshift stage by stacking junk on top of each other and then had a larger scale preformance. This was better than kicking and beating up thugs at least. For a good amount of time, the fights stopped. They were all peace, listening to Isabella's soft and melodious voice. She screamed out random terms that she had seen on the internet and they cheered at whatever she said. For a bunch of slum dogs, they made a loyal audience. Can't judge a book by its cover.

For example.

"Fite me irl m8." Isabella woulda say.
The crowd goes wild.

"Egg."
The crowd goes wild.

She was thinking of turning Umano into the egg district, a city where everyone loves and lays eggs. That would be a tale for another time, and plus, that would make Hikaru her sworn nemesis. These inhabitants of Umano did seem very egg-cited when it came to eggs though. Mission complete. Umano has been brainwashed to be followers of the egg order by Isabella Hope, Grand Majesty Lord Exculpate King Princess of Eggs XIV.

[Cherry]

Tears that Haruka hopefully didn't notice wet his shoulder, coming from the Chosen Sword's eyes. In the middle of such a clutching embrace, his hand rose to pet her. A wry smile came about, happy in the middle of feeling miserable. She began nuzzling her beloved, mewling softly at his lips reaching her skin. "Thank you..." she shakily spoke. The gentle grazes at her ear and cheek helped the woman perk up some. Pulling back with tears still rolling down, Haruka gave her a lasting kiss. Arms stayed clung onto him tightly as he got a taste of her lips, chewing and sucking on them. A light moan came from the endearing soldier, melting into their own world of love again.

It went on for awhile, and the soldier unfortunately remembered the need to breathe. A trail of spit was drawn as they separated. These messy kind of embraces left her in a love crazed daze... they were just the best. Yugure simply stared at him for a little bit, lost in the very sight of only his face. Reality dragged Yugure back into actually hearing what he was saying.

"Hana?" She inquired, allowing him to lead her out.

[Hope]

"See minna, contrary to popular belief, Vanguard isn't the only game I'm good at, I am also best in the rap game!" Isabella announced among the roar of the crowd.

"Oh my dolphin Hana-chan why." Mer cried.
"It is over, we have lost the Princess!" Star Rain followed.
"What are these lyrics!?" Minette questioned.

The roar of the crowd continued. Isabella's preformance is more shocking than the electrocuting fights! Enough energy to light up Umano! The surprise concert had grown into quite the spectacle, giving rise to the Egg Fanclub within Umano.

"I'm an imouto but you already kno tho!"
"Arigatou Minna!"
Umano goes wild.

"I swear, Hana-chan stop this shytto onegai." Meer begged.
"No???"

[Jello]

Sooo cuteeee.

Haruka was so happy with Yukino today, despite several hours ago not really being so great. He'd have to remember to spend more time with her... in fact.

"Hey, Hana's right out here... also, mind if I stay at your place for a week or so? Spend more time together, y'know? Share the bed maybe?" Haruka took Yukino's hand in his and smiled a lot. He was excited if she said yes. That would mean Haruka got a week of just Yukino and that was nothing to be upset about.

Haruka left a small kiss on the back of her hand as they exited the room.

[Cherry]

A week?!

"S-S-Share..." Yugure had to be the reddest knight in the world. Both worlds even, giving Kagero and Narukami a run for their money. The way he was smiling made her really happy, but to spend even one night like that... "S-Sure..." the woman accepted, fidgeting. The kiss only added to how excited and shyly she reacted.

Walking out, some of the cheering crowd noted how bright her face was. Giving them a threatening glare to butt out of it, she walked through them. They ain't messin' with the queen.

"Hana!"

[Hope]

"Hana-chan pls Reit is asking." Meer pleaded.
"Hana..." Reit said.
"Mi-hime is always cheering me on you pink haired wreck." Hana laughed.

She didn't mean Meer, she meant Nociel.

"H-Hey!!" Nociel screamed out.

Amongst the cheering crowd was her sister coming through, calling out to her. Looks like the make out session has ended. "Is that dried saliva?" she asked herself. "Oh my dolphin." She gave herself a pat on the back.

"Thanks everyone for coming to the show today!" she dismissed the crowd and went down over to Yukino.

"How'd it go? Also Mi-himes said hi." Mi-hime said to say "hi" to everyone for her today, must not forget!

[Cherry]

Yugure made sure to wipe traces of drool away while approaching just to be sure, but Hana might've already seen it... dammit.

"It went... better than expected."

Makeout sessions always make discussing problems easier.

"Uh, tell her I said 'Hey, get well soon'. Haruka mentioned you wanted to speak with me?"

[Jello]

Well she seemed nervous. Maybe she doesn't know if she's okay with sleeping in the same bed as him? Maybe she thinks he smells funny, but eh. Could be anything. Haruka is a pretty hygienic guy so that can't be it. Maybe-

It took Haruka a few moments to process himself what got Yukino all worked up. His head started blanking out certain images coming to mind.

Yukino and Hana were having their reunion, so Haruka decided to take the time to check a text message he received a bit ago but couldn't answer because sucking face is more fun than reading text messages. Especially after all they had been through, a little fun for them goes a long way.

"Its on my hand now...?" Haruka muttered the text out a couple of times. He wasn't so clear on the message, but he did know that Satoshi was somebody he would have to find. Thing is, for the next week his attention was for Yukino. School and work too, but he would be getting off each day as recompense for a few late night shifts he took. Haruka was glad to be staying with her a lot of different reasons, but the main one being time. A week seemed short in the grand scheme of things but when he was with Yukino, time seemed to slow to a near halt. A week was a lot of time to catch up and do whatever, which was good enough for him. Finally, he got to be in a normal relationship with somebody.

Oh right, Satoshi's text. Better reply soon.

"we'll talk sometime soon. you'll have to show me next time we meet. -haru"

God bless.

[Hope]

"Give me some time to remember..."

She had been waiting so long that she had basically forgotten. Also, her throat was beginning to feel sore and she was feeling a little sick so.

"Just need a moment, ahem."

[Cherry]

"Are you alright? You don't sound well."

Perhaps Hana had been performing? It wasn't so long a wait that she strained herself singing normally, was it?
