Tsume had crossed his legs and began to get look a bit bored by the proceedings.
"Are you saying you're not going to let my brother live with me because we're a bit low on cash," Tsume's voice was a throaty rumble, like a warning signal.
Blue, her black hair slightly messy, looked into the eyes of the man with white hair. "Iie, however, I am going to recommend some programs to help you both out while times are a bit rough." Blue then ended the meeting with that, and made Toboe make a comeback appointment. Blue thought her day would be uneventful, on that note she would be wrong.
She was walking home (she usually drove, but she wanted a change of pace) when a scraggly boy with a yellow jacket and very bushy head of hair ran into her.
"What the hell! You can't evict me! Just because I'm a month late doesn't mean a damn thing!" The boy or man would be more appropriate was yelling at a woman in a red bathrobe, her hair pulled back.
"Oh yes I can! You always having an endless barrage of women in here! That and you with your loud music! I do not allow people who don't pay their rent to board with me!" The woman yelled down at the man.
"Oh well, who wants to live in that rat infested hellhole anyway!" The boy shot back and began to walk away. He then noticed Blue was on the sidewalk; she had been too stunned to pick herself up. The boy looked at her, and he stared at her as if searching for the face of a long-lost friend.
"Excuse me, I didn't mean to knock you down," the man said and offered her his hand.
Blue accepted it and he picked her up. Blue dusted herself off still scrutinizing his face.
"I don't mean to be too forward, but you look so familiar," Blue said in a startled voice.
The man with the yellow jacket looked at her and grinned.
"It's really weird, but I get this feeling of deja vu."
She looked at him, and then realized she would appear disturbed. "I didn't look where I was going," Blue apologized for smacking into him.
He smiled. "It's all right. I was too busy yelling at my landlady to really notice." He shrugged his shoulders and eyed a nearby hotdog vender hungrily.
Blue sighed and decided for some reason to introduce herself. "I'm Blue," she held out her hand to the stranger.
He took his eyes off the hotdog stand and shook her hand. "Hige," he said casually. Blue's eyes widened and she felt as if she's received an electrical shock. A moment later Hige did the same thing.
"What was that?" He asked alarmed.
Blue shook her head. "I don't know, but there's only two other names that have done that to me." Blue responded honestly.
Hige was panting slightly and it was either out of fear or hunger. "Can I ask what those two names were?" Hige asked.
"Tsume and Toboe." Blue replied and simultaneously they both received images of a girl who had pink eyes, pink hair, and wore pink boots. Beside her was a white wolf, his face turned towards paradise. They both shook themselves.
"I feel so weird," Hige took a step backwards.
"I'm sorry," Blue apologized without knowing why.
He looked at her. "I feel like I've met you before in some former life." Hige said. Blue could not reveal that she already knew who Hige was from Toboe, which would violate patient confidentiality.
"I get that feeling quiet a bit now. I wish I could remember whatever it is I am supposed to remember." Blue said sadly.
Hige seemed to take pity on her, and he asked, "Hey, how about we walk and talk a bit? We seem to have something in common."
Blue nodded eagerly and the two began to walk towards Blue's apartment.
