What: A much needed encounter.
When: September 3rd
Where: The barracks
Summary: Gold and Anri put their plan to get Mikado and Masaomi to renew their friendship into effect.
Rating: Hopefully no higher than PG-13? Who knows with crazies.
[It's been over a month in the making. Gold had approached Anri sometime ago that he needed her help to get Masaomi and Mikado to make up, and she agreed. One thing after another led to the delay of this plan, but finally... They could get it underway. Today was the day. Now Gold just had to wait for her to arrive and take Mikado away. Then... He could go retrieve Masaomi, and things could finally start.

This plan had to work, with absolute certainty, or else it was all for nothing.

[ All of this is new concept to him, so he's just watching and listening to her intently. ]

[generalflirt]

That's sort of a given, isn't it? Anyone with a knife can.

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

I wasn't the only one with a weapon [sword] then. [She shakes her head.] It's not that strange.

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[ Wait a moment. The gears are churning. ]

Then... Your sword... Is that special? ...Where did you get it? [ Because shit like that doesn't just vanish into thin air. ]

[generalflirt]

[Yeah let's just look at Anri now]

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[What will her friends say when they hear that it's the same sword that killed her parents? Um.]

It...was given to me. It's not important how I got it.

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Ah... okay. [ He can tell she doesn't want to talk about it anymore, so he's not going to press it.

So, he turns to Masaomi now. ]

We've shared our stories... What about you?

[generalflirt]

I'm... ah. [...] I'm... well. I founded the Yellow Scarves?

[Wow, that was somewhat easier to say]

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[Well, yes, they knew that part. But...glancing at Mikado now; surely he knew about this, right?]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

Ah... [ He had a feeling. But it's much more comforting to hear it coming from Masaomi's mouth.

...But then he remembers all he'd heard about the Yellow Scarves and their leader. ... ]

S-So, all that happened to you, was...?

[generalflirt]

All what. I'm behind?

[ . . . ]

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[She can't fill in the blanks when she's not sure what you're referring to exactly, Mikado, so she'll shift a little uncomfortably as the focus shifts to him.]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

No, I mean...

I heard about what happened to the Yellow Scarves, with the Blue Squares, and their leader... [ How someone close to him got injured and he quit afterwards?

It's hard to believe. ]

1/3

[generalflirt]

[...!]

2/2 I lied

[generalflirt]

[Mikado knows about-. So he just confessed to... but Mikado, how would he even know? Not a lot of people know that, do they? Is it a rumor? HE knows it became sort of legendary, but...]

Had something happen to him in the ancient past.

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[This talk is all flying over her head. She knows about the whole Yellow Scarves leader thing but the gang war history-- she'd never really paid much attention to that.]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

That was... you. Right?

[generalflirt]

[ ... ]

Yeah, it was.

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[She'll look at Mikado...then at Masaomi. And back to Mikado.

...yeah, pretty lost here.]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

[ How convenient it was for all that to happen while they weren't together. He frowns a little. Had he known...

He'll explain to Anri in a moment, but there's a more pressing question-- ]

Then, why did you never... say anything?

[generalflirt]

I just said, dude. That was ancient history.

[He knows what Mikado means - he means when they chatted before he came to Ikebukuro. but he's not prepared to deal with the question of "why" there]

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

[She'd been allowed to gloss over some details so maybe...maybe Masaomi may have his own reasons for wanting to keep it under wraps as well.]

Ryugamine-kun...

[If he looks her way at all, she'll shake her head. Maybe not now?]

[dragons-peak.livejournal.com]

[ He clamps his mouth shut when Anri speaks. He know he probably shouldn't press, but... He wants to know.

But maybe it's too soon for him. They got this far, so maybe one day he'll get to hear the entire story from his own mouth...? It's a hope, at least. ]

...I know. I'm sorry.

[generalflirt]

So... that's that.

[...Scarves. Dollars. Slasher. Squares, even if they've gone unsaid]

[talkstoknives.livejournal.com]

...yes.

[But yes to what exactly is a good question. It's a start, but what this helps in the long run...]
