Exploring

Tsukiyoko was walking quietly down the street. She looked around at all the people and watched them go about their lives. She loved to watch people and she quickly found a bench where she could sit and rest for a bit. She didn't need to overdo it so soon after getting out of the hospital.

She began to hum a little song under her breath and continued to watch the world as it passed her by.

Ayame saw familiar figure sitting on bench. Long purple hair were really noticable. Tsu was humming something and looked as if she was in complete daze observing peolpe around. Aya smiled slightly. Out of hospital already? she though sneaking behind her fighter. She suddenly wrapped arms around other girl and rested chin on her shoulder. "Hi." she whispered into purple cat ear hugging her thighter.

Tsukiyoko smiled brightly as she hugged her sacrifice back. She turned in her embrace and kissed her on the cheek.

" Hi yourself. Thank you for the flower. You didn't have to visit me you know," she said with a bright smile on her face showing her gratitude for the visit. She still held the origami flower in her hands as though it was the most precious thing in the world to her. Which in fact, it was. Anything that Ayame gave her was priceless to her.

" What have you been up to?" she asked as she patted the spot on the bench next to her so that Ayame could sit down if she wanted.

Ayame sat down next to Tsu and smacked her head frowning. Then she relaxed and started to clean sand out of her hair. They still smelled like sea so she smiled. Swimming put her in good mood.
"Zain said you were in his club. Twins again?" she asked, ignoring fact she already knew anserw. She wanted to see Tsu say that.

Tsukiyoko giggled and her ears twitched lightly to show her amusement. She reached over to help Ayame clean the sand out of her hair as she replied.

" Yep, they got me good that time. I don't think I've ever been so embaressed. But luckly Zain-san was nice and explained everything. He even made my visit free so that made it a bit better," she was still smiling brightly. She didn't know how Ayame had found out but it shouldn't surprise her that she did. Aya-chan had a way of finding out anything if she wanted.

" But Aya-chan, how did you find out about it though?" she thought for a minute and then it hit her," You met Zain-san and he told you. Well that makes sense." She giggled again. How could she have missed that.

"Mm~ Yeah, even went to his home. May constantly ends in trouble ..." she rested her head on Tsu ahoulder rubbing eyes and leaving cleaning sand out of her hair to other girl. Then she noticed origami iris she made earlier in hospital in fighter hand. That will work she though taking out of her pocket purple fragment of glass and turning it that way sun refected in it.
"See, that color really resemble your hair." she said catching whisp of Tsu hair and holding it with glass to compare colors.

" Really? How come? She seemed fine the last time I saw her and my Mom said that she was ok," Tsukiyoko replied curiously as she ran her fingers through Ayame's hair to get all the sand out. She wasn't sure what could be wrong with her new friend but she was worried. May really had seemed ok according to her mother, Irene, but you never knew what could happen.

She looked at the glass fragment and her hair. " Yeah they do look alike. Did you find that at the Beach?" she replied. She guessed that was where Ayame had been since she had all this sand in her hair," Did you have fun?"

"She collapsed in cafe." Ayame rolled glass on top of hed hand making purple spots of light dance around. "Then she got attacked." she added reaclling May covered in blood. Better not. she though. Scaring Tsu wasn't what she wanted. "Magnes for problems." she mumbled observing spots of light mixing with other girl hair.
"You'll need to lend me clothes." she said out of blue, remembering that Kaede took key to her home.

Tsukiyoko was shocked, " She collapsed again huh? She really needs to rest. She doesn't need to overdo it and to top it all off she gets attacked. She really needs to stay home today." She winced as she repeated the advice that so many people had told her.

" All right. Let's go. I think I still have your clothes at my house somewhere from when you asked to repair them. You never did pick those up," she replied as she ran her hands through Ayame's hair a finally time to see if all the sand was out. It was so she waited for Ayame to get up so they could go to her house.

Ayame laughed getting up. "Recall what you said Tsu." she throw glass up and catched it again. "Should she really get back home? Nah, I need clothes in which I'll look femine." she frowned remembering words from message. "Hm?" cat on the other side of street caugh her attention so she directed steps to him. "Hina~ chodź. Come, bliżej, koteczku." she used polish words as usualwhen she was talking to cats that were living with her. Cat turned to her and purred. Even if Hina was basically wild cat she was visiting Ayame house form 3 years. They were in good conditions. "Chodź, chodź~" she hummed picking cat up and petting it.

Tsukiyoko sighed as she remembered what had happened at the park. " You're right. She needs to be as far away from home as possible right now and why do you need feminine clothes. You usually hate that type of clothing."

As Ayame got up to chase one of the cats that visited her house, Tsukiyoko got up from the bench slowly. She dusted off her skirt and rubbed her shoulders a bit. She was still kind of sore in some places after getting from the Hospital. Those beds wer as hard as rocks.

She walked over to Ayame and the cat. Hina was it's name apparantly. She smiled as she watched the two of them. She and Ayame both loved cats. She wanted to try and pet Hina but she wasn't sure that was a good idea since Hina didn't really know all that well.

"They are just uncomfortable, so I don't wear~" she let Hina play with her hair as they started walking. "Job, that's job." cat in her arms was quite big, and she was heavy. But her purring wasn't allowing to let her go ... "Carry her." she pushed cat into her fighter arms. Hina didn't really care who pet her, as long as she was petted. It was big, affectionate cat, sticking like glue to people she liked, and sticking even more to those she didn't like, but in mean way, like suddenly tripping them by appearing just before them. Her personality was always mystery to Ayame.

" I see, well since it's for a job, I guess you don't have a choice in the matter. Although, they've nver had a problem with the way you dress before. Why start now?," Tsukiyoko replied as took the cat from Ayame. She gently pet it's fur and it relxed into her arms. She smiled as it did. She guessed that she must have been worried about nothing since Hina didnt' seem to mind Tsukiyoko holding her.

" Should we start heading to my place now? We need to get those clothes before it gets too late," she commented.

"Nah, seems like current one prefers 'Akay' in woman version." she said yawning and stretching arms. "I did that before few times." she added forgetting how unclear she just spoke. "Your home is close if we take shortcut. So let's take stroll little more~" so long she didn't had occasion to just wander without purpose.
Isa was jumping happily around them so Ayame smiled following her movments with eyes. Tsu was only human beside Aya around who she was acting ike that.

" Ok lets go," she replied as she held Hina closer. She tried to follow Ayame's line of vision but quickly realiazed that she was looking at Isa so she stopped. Tsukiyoko suddenly smirked. She had just gotten a great idea.

" I'll race you there," she said as she sat Hina down, knowing that she would follow if she wanted too," On your mark..... get set......GO!"

She took off running not looking behind her to see if Ayame had started running or not.

[ Tsukiyoko has left the STREETS and is heading towards HOME]

Ayame yawned again and scratched head observing Tsu run. She was to lazy to chase after her. "Ah, Isa, who cares?" she said turning into one of alleys between shops to take shortcut. Even if she won't be first there, traveling there wob't take more time than for running Tsu.
