⌈ FIRST NIGHT ⌋ ♘ ⌊ VIDEO ⌉

[leashed_hunter]

[His arrival a few days ago had been less than unsightly considering one minute he was holding a bloody and injured Kaito and the next he was transported to a place like this. He'd searched for hours for his injured teammate and it wasn't until dawn had arrived that he slowly came to terms with his new circumstances. He sensed them - Purebloods. It wasn't until he got a better grasp of this place that Zero decided to use the small communication device.

The recording turned on showing a stiff looking hunter whose lips thinned into a grim line.]

The rules of the Association still apply.

[And with that simple sentence, the Hunter cemented his stance.]

... I see.

[No... she probably wouldn't have thought about it that way. And he couldn't break a little girls heart by denying something she obviously thought was true in the small world she lived in.

He sighed.]

You shouldn't offer to go running off on your own to look for people.

[Even if it was a slight admonishment, his tone was softer than any he'd used so far.]

[cutestpureblood]

I lived with Mama, Moriko, and Papa back home, but here I live with Mama, Daddy, and Uncle Takuma.

[And then realization.]

Wait. If Papa is here and so is Mama.... Then does that mean Moriko is all alone? I hope Grandpa is taking care of her....

[And with that her somewhat softer face becomes more worries and sad. She already feels bad that she promised to protect her sister no matter what, but she couldn't find her. Now Moriko is all alone and Kimiko couldn't be there for her.]

[leashed_hunter]

Moriko? Grandpa?

[Whoah, whoah, whoah! Who was Moriko??? And Grandpa?!! He didn't know there was an older Kuran out there! You're giving him a headache little one!!! And don't give him those eyes!!!]

[cutestpureblood]

[It's obvious that he doesn't remember her so she doubts that he'd remember Moriko.]

Moriko is my sister, but she's not a pureblood like me. I promised that I would watch over her but... she's not here. I guess that leaves Grandpa Kaien to watch her....

1/2

[leashed_hunter]

Kaien!

[His eyes widened in shock. Cross Kaien?? What the Hell had that idiot gone and done this time!]

[leashed_hunter]

[He ran a hand down his face. He better not be creeping her out like he did with Ichiru and him, which reminds him.]

He doesn't try to take pictures of you does he?

[cutestpureblood]

Sometimes he does.

[She doesn't see why Mama and the others always reject it.]

[leashed_hunter]

[Damn you, Cross.]

You don't need to take them if you don't want, you know that right?

[cutestpureblood]

It's okay. I don't mind.

[leashed_hunter]

[You should mind!!! That guy didn't just stop at one!! He better not be creeping around her or else Zero was sure he'd kick him out!]

You shouldn't encourage him.

[cutestpureblood]

Is it a bad thing?

[leashed_hunter]

[He shakes his head.]

Just don't let him go overboard. If you don't like something tell me and I'll take care of it.

[He was sure his future self would put Cross in his place if he started pushing his luck with his charge.]

[cutestpureblood]

Okay.

[Although, she still doesn't see why it's a bad thing.]
