Mondo stood outside Ishimaru's abandoned house; left behind to be devoured by ivy after everyone was released from Hope's Peak. The night everyone's secrets were exposed, all of them were sent free. No one had seen Ishimaru Kiyotaka since that day. Not even his closest friend, Mondo Oowada. It was only a few weeks ago when their sauna battle took place, which was what started their everlasting relationship with one another. Without the other, it felt for the both of them as if a large chunk of their very core were yanked out of them. "Kyoudai…" Mondo broke the chirping of the crickets with a low, dark, sad tone. "Come back, kyoudai…" Sliding a folded up piece of paper under the door, he choked out a sob, and proceeded down the set of stairs. Every thought, every wonderful, time savoring thought about that prefect brought a somewhat chilly breeze through him. Knowing that Ishimaru was gone, and for so long… He was somewhat worried. Everyone else had been keeping in touch with each other, and no one has been left alone; except for Ishimaru, whom no one had seemed to hear from. It was a silence for everyone. Some grieving, some grateful that the blabber mouth hall monitor was out of their lives; maybe even for good. Out of their lives for good… Just repeating that sentence sent a shiver down Oowada's spine. No, he shouldn't be telling himself these things! Ishimaru had to be out there somewhere; whether it be close by or far beyond. Approaching his motorcycle, he watched all the children down this part of town cheerfully skip up to each door, knocking and holding out their little pumpkins jeering 'Trick or Treat'! It was Halloween already, which reminded the gang leader of how long he had gone without seeing the one he held so close to his heart. Revving up the engine, he drove off, watching as some kids turned to stare. There was one thing to look forward to; the Halloween party.
