Nino could hear and all but feel Emiko following him, and yet he made no motion to acknowledge this. Just go back..... his thoughts spoke aloud, and yet the dark haired man could do nothing more on the subject. He was unwilling to proceed with saying anything and continued to walk silently down the street. Enmiko remained a good five steps behind Nino no matter how the dark haired man changed his pace.

"Get out!" suddenly rang in the dark haired man's ears, and he turned around sharply to find that the red haired girl was on her knees on the ground and clasping her head. His eyes widened for a moment before narrowing again. Stepping forwards, the dark haired man sighed to himself and keeled down to the level of the red haired Emiko. He made no motion to touch her, yet his dark eyes were piercing through her hair and towards her face. Her eyes remained elusive as she crushed them between her eyelids. "Get out..... please....." Emiko begged shaking her head, and before any other motion was made, Nino had seized the side of Emiko's face in his hand. The sharp images that spiraled over the dark haired man caused him to recoil instantly.

"Nin you need to stop that...." "Nino! Why did you make Matsu cry?" "Nin-kun... the stars are out... want to watch with me and Matsu?" "Sho-kun says we're going somewhere special today!" "Nino where did Aiba go?" "Nin-kun... give me your soda! Now!" "Nino... I want.. to tell you something...." "Come on... we'll all stay friends no matter what right?" the images and words that twisted their way around in Nino's mind caused the dark haired mans' eyes to widen and his hands to seize his head. He backed up sharply, and yet his eye remained on Emiko who continued to hold her own head. "Nino... good bye...." "NO!" Nino shouted it so loudly that it all but echoed into the air. Shaking his head and continuing to back up, the dark haired man swore to himself over and over again. "What did you do?" he roared as he began biting his lip sharply.

"Get out....." Emiko was all but whimpering now. "Get out....."

Suddenly Nino found himself standing in the pits of his own mind, and once again the brown haired girl was standing where she would always be. Turning her head and smiling lightly at him, Aoi waved her hand and then faded.

In another half moment, a stillness broke into the air. It was completely and utterly silent. Emiko released her heads as though the pain were leaving her, and the steady sounds of breathing became audible once more.
