returning home. | minako/akihiko

‘I guess even after all those years, some things never change. After all, you were the one that made the impossible happen, weren’t you?’

It was strange to just be... normal. Normal for Akihiko was typically a bad thing, and if nothing weird was happening in his life, then he should probably be more careful of things to come. After traveling for so long after the events of high school -- to new places, meeting new people, being back in the dorm was super unexpected and surprising. But he welcomed it here.

Especially considering the circumstances.

A cabinet door slammed shut as Akihiko pulled a mug out from it, trying to really... process exactly what was going on here. Or rather... formulate exactly what to say or ask. Gray irises moved over to the coffee maker and pulled it out, pouring two cups before returning it to it’s home.

Home.

It’s a basic word that most didn’t think about when it came down to it; it was something of secondhand nature, but truthfully, Akihiko had to think about it here. What was considered home to him? He had traveled for so long and so far that home didn’t seemingly exist. Wherever the wind took him, was where he went. But for some reason, when faced with this dilemma, this was where his heart wanted to go. The dorm.

The Iwatodai Dorm. The place where him, along with eight other special beings took on their secret night life disguised as an extracurricular activity. As an orphan, home wasn’t a concept that Akihiko conceptualized correctly... but his heart said this was home. And it was probably right. Especially for this particular... problem.

He leaned over the counter top and looked back over his left shoulder at the person sitting on the couch waiting for him to return. He’d have to face them sooner than later... but when it came to this person, Akihiko never knew what to do. After all, it had been five years now. But faced with this situation, he felt like he was back in high school.

Grabbing the coffee filled mugs and heading back to living room lounge, he set one of the cups in front of the other, and then sat across from them in the other chair.

“I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to say here,” he started, closing his eyes. “It’s a little hard to come to terms with honestly.” Akihiko inhaled sharply, and then opened his eyes, looking at his reflection in the liquid. But then the boxer steeled himself and looked at person across from him.

“I... just... don’t know what to really say here. I...” He stopped himself before continuing. “We thought you were.... well... but...” Setting the cup down, his hands folded over one another before cracking his knuckles.

“Tell me... exactly... how you’re back... Minako.”

“Nah,” he shook his head, chuckling. “I wouldn’t wanna trouble you with this. I can probably just do it myself if you tell me how.”

He found it interesting how there were no questions asked regarding the blood on his shirt. Funny little group they had, indeed.

“Ya sure?” She truly didn’t mind helping her friends with things, she was the eldest and most knowledgeable after all. “I’m gunna be yer wife someday so I don’t mind, nano ja~” 

Watching him a moment, the blonde pirate stepped back to find a lemon and some salt. Why would she care? The most obvious answer was his own blood or a monsters’. If it was neither... well that was Yuri’s decision.

“Damn, I got blood on my shirt.” -Yuri

A blink at his words before she looked up. “Wouldja like me ta clean yer shirt for ya?” Blood was a pain to clean out of clothes. A hum as she wondered if the even had any lemons. 

“Dontcha worry~ I know a trick ta get ‘em out, nano ja~”

     Perhaps Harry shouldn’t be doing this. This was the thought that crossed Harry’s mind on more than one occasion, tapping his finger lightly across the desk, staring down at unfinished paperwork. He should finish it, but at the same time, there was nothing holding him back from just not. He could write the report now, or later. He was the one who had finished this mission, after all, the money was given, he had put it away for Altosk with his cut taken out ( he usually ‘ donated ‘ a bit of his cut anyway ) so there wasn’t any real reason to stick around now.

     Sighing, a hand slid through blond hair. Being the ‘ boss ‘ was difficult. Maybe a break would be nice? Maybe … the days were long, hard, and half the people he knew worked for him now, and liked to spend their time away from him. Because they now did not want to ruin any ‘boss-worker’ thing going on. Which was shit and they knew it.

     Gaze sweeping aside the paperwork, Harry moved to start to leave HQ. He could do it tomorrow. Without Raven in town, ( the only ‘ worker ‘ he dealt with who didn’t give a damn about his position ) he had no real reason to wait up for others, or to try and invite them out for drinks … or anything really, so … Might as well leave now. What Harry did not expect to see upon leaving the office, door closing and locking behind him, was a younger guild leader in the main hallway.

     A sly smile curled it’s way across his lips, and, carefully ( quietly ) he snuck out, wandering a bit around before sliding up behind him — 

                           “Ya realize most people at HQ’re home by now, don’t’cha?”

He narrows steel-cold eyes at the other. “…Wrong guy.”

“I don’t know. He may be more broody, but you get like that yourself, Scarface.”

I shall pass sentence. You have deceived us in an attempt to throw our country into turmoil. The spreading of sedition is a crime of the highest order. You are hereby sentenced to death!

Sorry again, I just love Farah.

Have you ever made sacrifices to help someone?

The Elder was a follower of the teachings of Seyfert, having many books on the subject and even teaching the children what he knew about it but in the end it wasn't something the hunter was interested in. Though despite not showing interest it didn't mean he dismissed or questioned these teachings, and so when the Priest asked this question it only seemed right to answer.

'Yeah. When I was a kid, there was a girl who felt sorry for the village chickens. She didn't want them to be eaten, so she let them all escape. The next day there was a big uproar in the village. I felt bad for her, so I told everyone I did it and got spanked for it.' he wasn't sure why but this was the first thing that came to mind, though it almost felt like a relief to say it having kept it inside him for so long. Nevertheless the priest seemed happy with his answer.

'Your punishment may have been painful, but I'm sure Seyfert values your act of kindness..'

However before the priest could finish his speech, a familiar voice quickly interrupted with a slight angry tone in her voice and quick jab to his arm.

'Hey, wait a minute! We wouldn't have been caught if you didn't leave your footprints there, Reid!' 

A sudden panic swept across him, he knew what she was like when she got angry and considering how much stronger she is now compared to her child self, it wasn't in his best interest to become another training dummy again. From all the people in the village why did he pick a memory that included her, especially considering she was standing right next to him. Only managing to get a few words in before she continued, sounding angrier the more she spoke.

'My plan was PERFECT! BUT YOU had to go and steal some eggs and blow the whole thing!' 

Even if he didn't want to admit it, there was truth in her words. Her plan was pretty simply, when night comes they would sneak out and let the chickens free and then return home before any adults found out, then when morning came they would pretend they knew nothing about it. They wouldn't have been able to bring Keele for this because there was a high chance he would cry and get them caught or tell an adult accidentally, but in the end it seemed as his own greed was at fault, it's not as if anyone would question why he had a few extra eggs with him.

'It's not my fault! I was hungry!' 

At the time he was indeed hungry, and the few eggs that he could see would have hit the spot, but he knew what come next from her after he gave this childish excuse.

'You're ALWAYS hungry!' 

it wasn't something he could deny, he often ate too much but gained non of the weight or even felt full. But hearing it from her made him feel kinda bad about it, not that he could really change how his stomach worked he simply enjoyed the taste of the food, if given the chance he would love nothing more to eat her omelettes until he wasn't able to. Turning his head to the side slightly, this wasn't meant to go like this, he shouldn't have said anything.

'Leave me alone!' though there was annoyance in his tone, he didn't mean it, he would never want her to leave not again. That was one of the reasons why he came with her, even though she was capable of defending herself against anything that would try to harm her he still wanted to protect her, knowing that he would only blame himself if something did happen if he chose to stay in the village while she travelled with this strange girl.

'Well?!'

Turning to face her once more, only to see her with her hands on her hips as she scowled straight at him, taking note of how the other girl had been quiet this whole time, not that either of them would understand what she was saying or even if she understood what was going on. But was Farah expecting an apology? did he have anything to apologise for? he received all of the punishment for it wouldn't have that been an apology itself? though maybe if he did then they could forget all about this, however before anything could be said the voice of someone they had forgotten about quickly perked up.

'Stop it, both of you! Are you forgetting where you are? If you're going to squabble, do it outside!

The loudness of the voice made them both jump, who knew a priest could be so angry but with the few other people inside staring at them both as well as them staring at each other, they knew they had done wrong letting their childish behaviour get the best of them and in such a public place too. Giving each other a sympathetic look before they turned to face the priest, hastily apologising for what happened they just as quickly made their exit.
