Chapter 12
Crow decided to go home and check there, since that's where he remembered last having it. He grabbed his deck and other belongings and took off for his D-Wheel.
Shun looked around at the scene before him. "This seems to be in Crow's perspective..." Crow was crouching over in a corner in a closet somewhere. Shun could feel the small Crow trembling. "Crow?! Crow?! Where are you? We should get going soon or else we'll miss our fun appointment." he heard a soft but annoyed voice say. Crow didn't respond but only tried to hide further in. The closet door opened and a woman with the soft voice reached for Crow. "No! I don't want to go to the doctor..." Crow said through tears. Shun saw that there was more to this through the woman's face. The scene became enveloped in red and Shun found himself back in Crow's room.
"Rin! Rin!" Yugo said. He gently shook her in hopes it'd wake her up. She slowly stirred and stretched out. "What is it? God..." He pointed towards the sky which had a small spot of red. "You woke me up for this? Tch, leave me alone..." she said as she covered herself with a blanket, trying to go back to sleep. Yugo had a feeling that this abnormality might be trouble.
Crow was locking the door behind him then heard a floorboard creak. "Someone's here?" He grabbed a nearby broom then went in the direction of the sound. He opened the door slightly then saw Shun sitting on the floor staring at something. "Shun..?" Shun looked up then gave him a weak smile. "You dropped this..." he said as he handed Crow Raikiri. Crow accepted it then asked, "What are you doing here? And on the floor...?" Shun stood up then explained why he was here. "So, as I was entering your room, your card here was emitting a weird light. I touched it and I was whisked to your past. For some reason, there was something your mom was hiding." Crow gave a shrug then put Raikiri back in his deck. "My mom wasn't always like that. She was always straight to the point. I do remember her acting different though..." They looked at each other then chuckled, assuming it had no importance.
Yuya was leaving school when Yuzu "accidentally" bumped into him. "Hey, Yuya. Got any plans?" Yuya shrugged then felt himself being dragged away. "Where are you taking me?" Yuzu turned around and gave him a quick wink. "Well, I did have plans, but I guess now they're canceled..." He sighed quietly and allowed himself to be dragged off.
Ruri was taking a walk outside when she spotted a familiar face. "Sora? What have you gotten yourself involved in this time?" Sora chuckled then waved her statement away. "Nothing of the sort this time. Just came to pay someone a visit." She sighed then asked who. "Shinji actually. I have some interesting info he might like to hear." Ruri bit her lip, only half believing the sly boy. "Don't worry, I won't set anything ablaze like last time."
Yuto was putting on his shoes when Ruri came through the door. "Going out? Would you like company?" He shook his head then stood up. "It's not that I don't want you to tag along, just need to let myself wander." She nodded then made her way upstairs. As he stepped out, he took a deep breath, plugged his headphones into his phone, and began to jog.
"I'm going home..." Yuya said flatly. He was tired and wanted to get away from Yuzu. "Come on, 10 more minutes!" she said. She got no response, so she turned around and saw Yuya had vanished. "God, he's so difficult..." "Hey lady! It's your move!" someone called out. She turned around then continued to play.
Yuto took a break and sat on bench near a park. He took out his phone and checked the time. "5:36pm...Hmm, didn't realize I was jogging for so long. Maybe I sho-" he thought but was interrupted by a familiar face. "Hey there, pretty boy." Sora teased. Yuto rolled his eyes then stopped his music. "What are you up to now?" he said, trying not to groan. "Nothing really, just coming back from Jack's." Yuto gave him a questioning look as if asking him to explain. "Just went to see Shinji, pass on some info." "Did anything catch fire?" "Dude, why is everyone still on that? Was it really that bad?" Yuto glared at him and Sora put his hands up in defense. "Well, I should get going. Plus, you seem, upset yet sad." Sora scurried away before Yuto could lay a finger on him.
Shinji was walking down the stairs when he noticed Jack blocking the way. "And what was he doing here?" Shinji scoffed then said, "You invited him before, so I could ask you the same thing." Jack remained quiet then said, "Ok, still, what were you both discussing? Seemed...heated." Shinji slid down the banister then said as he landed, "Oh, just possibilities of something. Like, what a red spot in the sky means." This time Jack burst out laughing, wiping the few tears forming in his eyes. "Red spots in the sky don't exist. Sure, the sky can turn red but spots? You're crazy." Shinji shrugged then left the laughing Jack to himself.
