Time for some mouthwash

[lucetimods]

Who: You! Yes, you!
What: Well the event is over. So um. Yeah.
When: Today! The 19th! Whenever you wake up, so long as its after midnight.
Where: Well, just about anywhere, wouldn't ya say?
Summary: So like, there's these people. They think they're in love. But suddenly the experiment is over and they're all like, "WHOA! I can't believe I totally made out with you!" But the other one is like, "Oh my god, gross!" and the other goes, "Come on it was awesome!" But the second one is like, "You pervert, I'ma kill you with my space lasers!" And then shit blew up and it was awesome. The End.
Rating: Tame-ish? I mean, are you guys really gonna wanna smut in this log too? Seriously.


Okay it's after the event. Suddenly you realize you're not in love! Maybe the person you were with fell asleep next to you. Whaddya gonna do now? Awkward abounds! The village fractures! True Love loses yet again. So much for that being the strongest force of all, am I right?

Rin! [His flames are tearing through the house. She's not afraid, but if these keeps up...]

Is that what this is really about?

[rashness]

And I'm supposed to put up with this shit?! I've been waiting to go home 'cus people said time didn't pass or some stuff like that but I've been here for months! We've been here for months!

[the flames spread more, and his angry look only gets worse. Forget calming down, he's been doing that constantly. He's here, being worthless. Even Shiemi's done more than him. He couldn't even go in that draft...]

[shamelessness]

[...So that's what this is about. Her voice lowers.]

Are you worried about them?

[rashness]

Shiemi- they're back there with that Impure King stuff and we're sitting here doing nothing.

[shamelessness]

We can't help it, though! Th-they may be in trouble, but... to them we might not even left? What we should be doing is... is working to get stronger.

[rashness]

And when we do it'll be pointless too! We'll go back with nothing! And what about- [I've gotten no stronger. He pulls Kurikara off the wall it was leaning against. He tugs on it hard. He still can't draw it] this?!

1/2

[shamelessness]

Who said? Who said it will be pointless? A-at least we would have tried! Rin, you have to believe in yourself! In us!

[Even if she's a bit shaky in her own self confidence.]

[shamelessness]

I... I believe if you tried, you could do it. I believe in Rin, why can't you believe too?

[At least we would have tried.

Waiting to go back to the same time. To go back and have things be right that way - to wait out the Impure King. Everyone told him it was pointless, that he would just go right back there. He'd half-heartedly told Fenimore that even if he was going home with no time reset he'd've trained. He'd been training. He'd been doing those stupid candle exercises. Lately, he'd been trying to meditate with Luke Skywalker. Sometimes, he went out and sword trained. In that fight with scyther, he'd felt alive for once here.

He had his tail out now. But every time someone asked, it was some excuse. No one hated him here. He wasn't the son of Satan here. He didn't have to confront it. He tugs again and again at the sword, hating his own weakness as he can't draw it. Hating it... fearing it.

Tears begin to stream down his face again. His last memories of home were Shiemi reassuring him there and here... I've taken a step back he morosely realizes.

Old Man, why did you save me?]

[rashness]

[Tug, tug, tug.

Why, why- "Believe." He hasn't been. He'd just been waiting to when he would forget all this. But now he's experienced his love being manipulated. Now he's experienced his fate being toyed with. A nice woman like Sayo being sent out to fight. Being called a bully, a demon. And Satan himself - herself? - was here and what had he done.

He ran. A roar of frustration builds as he tugs at the Koma sword again]

Rrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaagghhh!! [He's going to draw this thing. No matter what. As he tugs, his flames build around him. They probably are engulfing most of the room now, burning everything and blowing in Shiemi's face. Probably not hot to her though, as ever

No matter what!!]

[rashness]

[And finally... Shiemi believes in him. Shiemi trusts him. His friends back home... maybe they- no. They probably trust him too. If they don't, he'll make them. He'll earn it, and earn the right to live.

He's been apart from them for months. He's been apart from Yukio for months. He's not been there in Kyoto. NO MATTER WHAT. and you know what, frankly speaking... Father Fujimoto... probably didn't need a reason.

And then. Finally, finally. It slips on out of his sheath. His flames explode around him. His body changes, and he assumes his demon form. He doesn't even have time for surprise. He just bursts out into a laughter he's not even sure of the meaning of]

[shamelessness]

[At first she braces herself. Not from the fear of being burned or harmed, but from the shear force of the flames as they engulf the room. Shiemi isn't sure what to do when Rin starts crying, and she's even more lost when he starts laughing, but... he did it. Rin pulled out the sword.]

R-Rin! You did it.

[rashness]

I did! [LAUGHING. He's swinging his sword too oops burns everything] I did at that!

[shamelessness]

U-um, Rin... [You're going to burn the apartment building down.]

[rashness]

Yeah! [AHAHAHAHA Okay swing, swing, and now he's going to even ...

Actually, the fact that he notices the glass on the turtle's tank melting is what clues him in. He blinks, puts the sword away (returning to normal) and while that dismisses some flame, it's not nearly all of it. bug eyed, he is going to pick up the box turtle, tun over to Shiemi, and now - he's running in place]

I need a fire extinguisher?!

[shamelessness]

[Now she's freaking out too.]

I don't know where- [OH GOD EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ASH.]

[rashness]

We-well everything's burning?!

[FUCK MAYBE THE KITCHEN?! He hopes Shiemi has his turtle and is going to run towards the kitchen out of the apartment after shoving past her]

[shamelessness]

[She holds the turtle close to her as she follows Rin out of the room into the hall.]

Where are you going? [They don't have Kamiki's familiars and their purifying liquid. This might not end well.]

[rashness]

[Okay!! Where's a fire extinguisher or something. Uh uh uh - okay! There we go, let's collect one from under the drawer here]

Getting this, duh!

[And now back to his room! ...No this probably won't go well]

[shamelessness]

[Still holding the turtle, Shiemi follows Rin back to his room. She... doesn't know what to do with herself, so she'll just watch him.]

[rashness]

[It'll be a battle. Coupling the work with the extinguisher and his own mood dying down means he will get the fires out, eventually. But there is not much left to be saved. The whole of the living room is burned, distorted, melted... or turned to ash. Or all of the above. and in the end he's left standing in the middle of it, panting a bit]

[shamelessness]

[...]

It's all gone.

[rashness]

...Is Miros's turtle okay?

[shamelessness]

[She holds the little box turtle up to her face. It was all hiding, but it takes the time to peek its head out.]

Hello. [She said. To the turtle.]

[rashness]

[He still needs a better name than what he'd been using (Midori, as in green) but oh well]

So she's okay.

[Good.


Not that he knows if this is a girl or a boy turtle]
