from the edge (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)

[Jikkah]

Kaguya looked scared and confused. “I don’t want to leave you..!” She argued, grabbing his arm. “Please don’t send me away, Yoichi-san..!”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He shook his head, "Daijoubu. It'll be a safe place that I will visit. It's just a spare house I own." He assured.

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya seemed sad, but nodded and pushed her anxieties down. “You won’t leave me alone there..?” She asked quietly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He smiled and shook his head, "Every chance I get, I'll come see you."

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya nodded, not liking the idea of being alone again, but if Yoichi would be coming and seeing her when he could, it would be more bearable. “Ok… I’ll go..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He moved and kissed her forehead gently, "Arigatou. I just wish for you to be safe."

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya’s cheeks flushed when he kissed her head, heart beating hard in her chest. “Thank you, Yoichi-san..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He smiled softly and nodded, "I'll get everything ready and come back for you, alright?"

 

[Jikkah]

She nodded, wiping her tears quickly. “Okay, okay- I’ll do it, just don’t leave me for long..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He nodded, "Block the door when I leave, don't let anyone in until I return.."

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya nodded, doing as he said when he left, blocking the door with the table, sitting in wait silently.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He was gone for a long time, the sun was close to setting by the time there was a knock on the door. "Kaguya?" That was Yoichi, for certain, "Everything is ready, if you are?"

 

[Jikkah]

He heard movement behind the door before it opened, Kaguya standing there. “I’m ready.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He smiled and offered his hand to her, "Ikuzo."

 

[Jikkah]

She took his hand and followed after him, keeping as quiet as she could when they moved.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Yoichi guided her out and toward the gate, not at all worried as he left the premises with her, squeezing her hand to comfort her.

 

[Jikkah]

Kagaya kept up with him, though she did limp a bit- she wasn’t about to complain though, he was saving her.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Ah, am I going too fast?" He asked before he slowed down, "Please forgive me."

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya shook her head. “I-It’s okay, I can keep going..!” She said.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"If it becomes too much, please let me know." He told her.

 

[Jikkah]

She nodded and the two continued in silence. Kaguya forced herself to keep pace with Yoichi, even when her legs ached.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He would look back at her to make sure she was ok before eventually pulling her onto his back and carrying her.

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya was embarrassed to need him to carry her, muttering her apologies as she held tightly to his back.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Daijoubu," he assured gently with a smile, "I don't mind."

 

[Jikkah]

Kaguya nodded and made sure she didn’t bounce around too much as they hurried off.
