Ningyou quickly shoved the last of his items into his bag, slinging it onto his shoulder before quietly making his way out of his room, careful not to wake up his little sister.
His mother had gone out for the night. Luckily, his friends' family was out as well. They had been planning to run away from their current lives for what seems like forever, just waiting for an opportunity.
He quickly and quietly exited the apartment, making his way down the stairway, not risking using the elevator.
He pulled out the keys to his friend's, Yorudan's, apartment.
"Hey, 'Rudan, are you ready?" Ningyou whispered into the darkness. He heard some scrambling before he saw Yorudan open the door to her room.
"I'm ready, I've got my stuff.."
Her 'stuff' consisted of a small bag and a small bunny plushie that she gripped tightly onto.
"Alright. Let's go." Ningyou grabbed her jacket sleeve, pulling her along and closing the door behind her.
They shuffled down the hallway and found Drii leaving her apartment.
"Are you two ready? Got the car?" Drii asked in a hushed tone.
"Yes, it's outside, it should last us until the airport." Ningyou replied, turning around and leading the way.
Yorudan shuffled closely behind him, with Drii silently closing any doors behind them.
Ningyou unlocked the car, opening the door for Yorudan and Drii.
"Hey, Ningyou... Where's your sister? Aren't you going to bring her with?"
Ningyou tensed up. He stood there, staring for a moment, before hesitantly turning around.
"Drii, start the car, I'll be back shortly." He said, walking back into the apartment building.
He had to be quick. He didn't know when his mother would return.
He quickly made his way up the stairs, tripping over a few times, not being as careful as when he was with the others.
Ningyou silently walked into his sister's room, gazing down at her sleeping soundly.
He felt a lump in his throat as he realised this may be the last time he saw her, and he couldn't even say goodbye properly.
He remembered back when they were younger. He'd promised that he would always be there for her. Was he about to break that promise?
He stood up, quickly leaving the room. He'd come to far to stop now.
Ningyou hesitantly left the apartment again, locking it behind him.
As he entered the car Yorudan looked at him curiously. Ningyou shook his head, answering a question that was never asked.
Yorudan looked away, a somewhat disappointed and confused look on her face.
"I know you were fond of her, but we simply couldn't take care of her properly, you must understand that." Ningyou said softly, starting the car.
"I understand. I'm just worried." Yorudan said, looking back at Drii who was sitting in the back seat.
"We're off, then? Let's go." Drii said, getting a bit anxious about their parents returning.
Ningyou nodded, starting to drive, his hands shaking slightly. He didn't want to leave his sister. But he didn't have a choice.
