Hazel had walked Aiba fully back to Nino's apartment. Thankful that he wasn't lost anymore, the black haired boy turned around and gave a quick bow. "Thanks again," he smiled looking back up. "Come and say hi sometime!" He grinned lightly back at Hazel who seemed to blink for a minute before nodding to herself. "Maybe I'll get Matsu to cook, and then we can have lunch sometime."
"Pft...." Charleston answered back rolling his eyes a fraction and causing confusion to left on the face of Aiba. However, Hazel seemed to give him a quick look before signing outwards and nodding.
"Alright," she answered back turning and appearing to walk back up the street with Charleston in tow. Turning for a minute, she waved, and Aiba waved back before taking hold of the door handle. Hu... it's open? Aiba blinked knowing that usually doors didn't open up for him. Pushing the door open, Aiba stepped inside.
"Matsu! You forgot to lock the door!" Aiba called out aloud, yet there was no answer. "Matsu?" Aiba asked again in confusion as he walked into the apartment more so. "Nino? Matsu? Hello?"

Both the dark haired man and the brown haired man walked in unison down the street despite the fact that the dark haired man was carrying a limp girl on his back. The street lights flickered around them as both walked towards a destination Nino was not quite sure about himself. Glancing up at Sho for a minute, Nino moved his eyes back down and said nothing.
"You seemed surprised that I would call Ohno as well," Sho sighed outwards causing Nino to turn his head up again. Sho gave a sideways glance back at teh dark haired man.
"Not surprised, irritated," Nino corrected as he continued to walk. For a few minutes, it was quiet between them again.
"I called the shaman council earlier, and they have decided for all the vessels to come," Sho answered back causing the one whom it was directed at to stop walking completely. Sho sighed and looked back at Nino with a calm look. The black haired man simply glared back at him saying nothing in particular. However, there was venom in his eye. "Do not judge the council, Nino. They judge you not the other way around," Sho sighed as he began walking again. Nino said nothing but resumed his slow pace. Emiko, who appeared completely off in dream land, mumbled a fraction on something not fully in particular.
"A war's coming," Nino sighed outwards looking down at the street as he walked.
"Indeed," Sho answered back shaking his head a fraction. "Not to mention the fact we seem to also be all but summoning more into this fight as well."
"M.... yuu...." Emiko sighed outwards suddenly clinging to Nino's shirt more. The dark haired man said nothing but changed his gaze a fraction towards the other side of the street.
"Are you afraid, Nino?" Sho questioned with a calm voice.
".......If I said yes, you'd laugh," Nino answered back still not looking at the brown haired man in the face. Sho just sighed back outwards.
"No... I would not," the brown bear man answered back. "This is worth being scared about... Here it is." Sho stopped causing Nino to stop as well. Staring up into the darkness, Nino let out a sigh. So this was Emiko's house.....Sho walked straight up to it and took hold of the door. Nino all but flinched as he watched the brown haired man open it with ease after picking the lock. Turning back, Sho held the door open. Nino sighed and walked inwards.
The entire house was different from what Nino had expected not to mention the sudden surprised scream that echoed in the house. Nino nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned and found Elle standing in the doorway that Sho had just opened into the house. The cousin had just come home and believed more or less that there were burglars in the house. Sho's height in itself was intimidating to say the least. After a few minutes of explaining, all was at peace again, and Nino was free to put Emiko on the couch before standing up to leave again. Sho sighed, nodded to himself, and then bowed himself out along with Nino. Elle, who still appeared in shock that someone had broken into the house for the sole purpose of returning someone to their house, shook her head a bit and closed the door as the two exited.
Walking back onto the street again, Nino let out a breath. "Are you going home?" Sho asked in a calm voice.
"The apartment?" Nino questioned back already knowing that was what Sho was implying. The brown haired man nodded a fraction sternly irritated that the dark haired man had said it in that way. "Ya....." Nino answered back.
"I'll walk you back, then," Sho answered receiving a sharp glare at Nino before the dark haired man finally sighed outwards all but giving his agreement. Both men walked in silence towards the apartment. However, when they were within a block radius, Nino forze completely. Turning his head confused, Sho stopped as well. "Nino?" the brown haired man questioned.
"Heh.....heh....hahah.....ahahahahhahahaha," Nino laughed as his head leaned down to the point Sho could no longer see his eyes.
"Nino?" Sho questioned again. However, the brown haired man felt the spiritual pressure of Nino begin to grow. This meant only one thing.... Th brown haired man's eyes narrowed.
"Ahahahahahah," Doki laughed outwards suddenly grinning straight through Nino. "Found him!" Nino's voice shouted before the dark haired man took off down the street. Sho's eyes grew suddenly before he took off down the street trying to catch up with the dark haired man.
Noiren is around..... was the only thought that hit Sho. But then.... Suddenly the dark haired man lashed straight into his own apartment. Sho found himself confused by the matter. "Wouldn't be in..." Sho started as he turned and was now staring in the apartment. A shriek hit the air and suddenly all was silenced. Sho found himself running straight into the apartment.
Aiba had pressed himself up against the wall with the door, but that was not what caught Sho's eyes first. Instead... his eyes focused in on Nino who was bent out on the floor on his hands and knees breathing out heavily. "He was here....." Doki hissed outwards. Sho glanced at Aiba who gave a startled and confused look back. "He was here... that damn demon was here...." Nino's voice continued to project outwards but it suddenly cracked and fell silent.
"Aiba, where is Matsu?" Sho asked. Aiba just shook his head.
"I... haven't see him...." Aiba answered back. Sho's eyes grew.

A heaving sound echoed out as Matsujun's eyes started to flicker open. Feeling himself tied upwards, Matsu turned his head a fraction only to find his nerves suddenly scream out in agony. Resisting the urge to scream, Matsu heaved out again feeling something running down the side of his face. Red blood blurred his vision, and all the white haired man could do was heave and cough feeling a sharp pain in his body. Trying to pull away, Matsu found his arms bound outstretched to a wall and the rest of him being tied against said wall. Matsu heaved a breath out of himself feeling the pain of breathing again. Biting into the bottom of his lip, the white haired man resisted the urge to cry. Where.... am I...... he wondered quietly to himself.
