Mimori Kiryu knows that something is wrong the moment she steps inside the house. It's dark, and silent – or at least she thinks it's silent. Several tense seconds pass before the sound reaches her ears, faint and awful, like the sound of someone gagging on their own blood. "Tachibana?" She asks hesitantly, walking towards his bedroom. Yes, something was definitely wrong. Every day, she walks into the small house she shares with Cami and Tachibana , and always it's full of life. But not this day. Cautiously she peeks her head into the boy's room, and to her relief she finds him alive but still she raises her hand to her mouth in incredible shock of what's before her. Asuka Tachibana is slumped forward, his body shaking with sobs. Cami isn't there, and Mimori wonders if she has any clue what's going on? Scattered around the room, bottles of alcohol lie broken and empty, and thoughts speed through the woman's mind as she asks herself what could reduce someone so strong to nothing so quickly.
"Tachibana-san?" She asks, concern heavy in her tone.
"Go away" He mutters and his words are slurred
"Asuka, what's wrong?" Manners are forgotten as her worry increases, and she hugs him.
"She's gone"
"Who?"
"Cami, baka" Mimori is taken back by his harsh words, but she tries to comfort him.
"Is…is she dead?"
"No, she left!" He growls, then it turns into a heart wrenching cry "I would only hurt her…"
She sits there with him as he cries, and she holds him, waiting for the rains and the floods to stop because at this point she doesn't know what to do. They sit like that for hours, until Asuka is finally silent. She knows what's coming, so she helps him stand up and walk to the bathroom; no human, even an Alter User, could drink that much that quick without feeling nauseous. He kneels there by the porcelain bowl, his head against he cool material, until the effects catch up with him and he is violently sick. Mimori stand there with him, always by his side, and she wipes his forehead and keeps his violet hair out of his face. When it's over, he falls onto his bed and she sleeps next to him. Just in case.
A/N: This isn't intended to be a one shot, so expect more later. Hope you liked it...Ja ne!
