I heard that it's me we should blame...

[Jingle, jingle. Sora was on his stomach, lying on the living room floor while his arm stretched out to grab on to the blue-ribboned collar he hid under the couch. He wasn't embarrassed about it that much, but he didn't want it to give his position away on where he was every second, or have it taken away. So he simply hid it. Smart, right?]

Almost....got..it.

[Though he couldn't stretch too much in fear of the pain in his shoulder, he let his fingertips drag the end of the collar to him. Sitting up slowly, holding the trinket in his hands while his mind began to wander off.]

[Staring with a blindfold on? How odd. Well those sensitive cat ears of his he recently acquired heard those silent footsteps of Riku's so he'll turn his head a bit to stare right back. Good thing for that blindfold, he looked a little banged up from the bruise on his face while marks slithered down his shirt.]

...H-Hi.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Hey.



You okay?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*jingle jingle?*

... Sora?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[D-Damn Ri was quick, he didn't even want it to ring...But at least he didn't look as bad as he did yesterday, he only had a welting bruise on his cheek with a lot of darkening marks along his neck that went under his shirt. His eyes moved up to stare up at Ri, rubbing his eyes for a moment to try and fake a laugh.]

H-Hey Ri, long time no see.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I found you.

*looks over you worriedly*

You're hurt worse than I thought. Let me help you.

[seasides]

[....oh. had just entered to look for something, but freezes upon seeing Sora.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

....Kai.

[His throat closed up from seeing the redhead, holding back the tears that suddenly welled up in his eyes before he tried to crack a smile with his quivering lips.]

You're okay.

[seasides]

[shrinks in on himself slightly, looking down and away. he really hadn't wanted to run into Sora.]

Yeah.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[oh look, it's a Sora he can't remember having seen before.]

Hi.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Well, Roxas was really happy. Maybe the blond could give him some of that positive energy, he really needed it..]

Hi yourself.

[J-Just try and smile. Well, at least Roxas wasn't just staring at his bruised face and worrying or throwing questions at him. He appreciated the simple, happy greeting.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he's seen enough injuries lately and has a new theory about how to comfort people: just don't talk about it.]

You're name is Sora, I suppose?

[if it turns out ignoring the problem isn't working, he's going to bring it up right away.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind this Namine walking by, giving you a curious glance.]

Hey...are you alright?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Did he look okay?]

....

[He blinked, letting his eyes meet hers.]

Yeah, don't worry. Just having a few problems.

[The evidence was on his face, bruising while marks ran down his neck. Maybe he should've worn a scarf today..]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[She almost gasped out of shock, immediately walking over to him.]

A few?

[She examined the injuries on his neck, eyes full of concern.]

Who did this to you?

[unstably.livejournal.com]

{ Black spots underneath her eyes and in hospital clothes with some shoddy bandage work, go! She sits down in front of Sora and blankly stares at him, tilting her head erratically as she does. }

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Blinks, glancing up at the blond to stare right back.]

....What?

[unstably.livejournal.com]

Sora, correct? { Awkward staring, though she strokes the edge of the scalpel she's holding as she says his name. }

[roseofgrey.livejournal.com]

Got what.

[boo.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[ewofubwepb--Picks his head up quickly to stare up at the other with widened eyes. Almost gave a teenager a heartattack, great job.]

G-God Riku...Hi.

[roseofgrey.livejournal.com]

I'm flattered, but no, not a god.

[snrk.]

Hey.

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

[have a 27-year-old Roxas with a cane who looks rather grumpy. he's still new and has to get a general overview of the area so he'll find the shortest walking distances since he's limping.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Hope Roxas is used to seeing animal attributes, because those feline ears of his perked up from the sound of footsteps along the floor.]

....

[He noticed that expression too, concern written on his face. Don't mind the bruises and cuts on him, just answer.]

What's wrong?

Fft, Late-ish X . X

[Oh, look whose here~ It's Sora's best friend...]

...

[Saix is once again begining his creepy stare behind Sora, watching him as he held the collar. Saix was a little bit more calm today but don't think he forgot that deal from last time. His golden eyes watched as Sora stretched for teh collar and finally got it, he growled a little under his breath. Though Sora probably heard it because Saix was an inch away from his back.]

Pssh it's all good.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh God, not again. What was worse was that he had run in to his friends, he was healed again. Even though the scar on his back still showed, it was a bit better and didn't sting anymore. His confidence was back, he was coming up with plans but he wasn't expecting to see the Diviner so soon.]

...

[His feeble hands clutched on to the collar as he attempted to hide it underneath his leg when he sat up to turn slowly to meet those golden orbs. He hadn't found Xemnas yet, he hadn't been able to gather his friends together for a surprise attack, and he hadn't found Axel to warn. He needed more time...]
