(Character's don't belong to me, Kagerou project belongs to Jin)

*POV Hibiya*

These god damn folders, I couldn't believe what i was seeing with my own eyes!

we've been through three of them already, of course it was Shintaro's, Kido's and now my own. He'd been stalking us since around a year ago, no maybe even longer then that cause Kido's folder had entry's from around the time we stopped Kuroha for good and that was two years ago, right when we stopped this loop bull shit.

"i can't believe this" I utter as i read my own file, "he was stalking us...all of us" Kano says as he read another folder. "god damn it...how did we not see it" Kido mutters. "because we never viewed him as much of a threat" I utter and pinch the skin between my eyes, "why would he do this..." I asks, it made a little sense then, could the incident with Kagerou have been that mans fault too?
"...i'm going to find him" I mutter and run to the door, "Ah but its still raining out" Kano says to me in a worried tone, but...then again- "I don't care!" I shout and Slam the door on my way out.

The cold rain hits me as i run, chilling my blood to a crawl but i kept running, how could i have not have seen that Kenjirou was like that, Konoha was left alone with the man when i stormed out the first time, which means Kenjirou has my friend, and from those files it seemed like Konoha was next on Kenjirou's list.
I had to find him.

*linebreak*

not even five minutes out in the rain and here i am huddled under a out door table, I brush my fingers along my soggy bandages and sigh as i tear them off, no point having them just sit there waiting to slide off.

All i wanted was to find my friend, because i got him mad and like a two year old stormed out of the house, now he was "missing" in my books and i really needed to find him and apologize for my behavior, I was glad no one was really out due to the rain, cause i must have looked pathetic.

I began to looked over all the events that happened so far, Kagerou came back, tried to kill me and the others, i converted him good, still never figured out how he got out of the haze in the first place, now its Konoha's sudden behavior, the files found at our house and Kagerou's warning message. I cry out in frustration, "nothing makes any damn sense!" I yell but my cries are lost to the pounding of the rain above the semi thick piece of wood keeping me dryish from the storm.

"hey..don't be down" Kagerou says and takes my hands, his heat warming me up with a single touch, "Kagerou?" I ask and don't know how he's here right now since it was still storming, but as i looked past him i could see the storm had stopped and the sun was breaking through the clouds, "come on i know where your friend is" he says and pulls me out from under the table. Id like to make it known that as much as Kagerou tried to kill me two weeks ago, he's actually very sweet and a bit on the shy side when it comes to anything. and frankly when i found out why he was so upset with me i couldn't help but see him as what i would have turned into if i hadn't met the Dan and let my guilt over Hiyori's death eat at me like Shiro's death ate at Kagerou.

I couldn't bring myself to say anymore but got to my feet and with a warm meaningful smile he began to walk me down the street, I must look weird since normal people can't see Kagerou last i checked. "I blanked out during the storm..but when i came around i started to do some snooping..and came across your friend well i was going around town..he's been staring off into the distance for what i'm gonna say is hours" Kagerou explains, "where?" was all i could croak out, i was nervous at the least, blaming yourself really hits down your confidence in things.

In my mind Konoha could tell me that he didn't want to accept my apology. that was my worse case scenario at this point, "i saw him a little past the high school" Kagerou says and keeps me walking. I smiled at the fact that even if everyone somehow abandoned me he would still be here with me, we are connected after all, one in the same.

I looked up as a heavy feeling struck me in the gut, Konoha stood leaning against a wall, eyes closed, chest slowly raising and falling and he was soaked to the bone, almost as bad as me.

"Konoha!" I yell and run to him, breaking off from Kagerou, leaving him behind as a on looker. I grab the still larger teens sleeve and try and get him to respond but it proves useless when i realize he's sleeping, "...always sleeping in weird places.." I grumble and look back to make sure Kagerou's still there, which he is before fishing through Konoha's pockets for his phone since mine had a busted screen and dialed for Kido once i found it.

I was going to need some help bringing him to the apartment before we both froze.

*POV no one*

Kagerou looked over his shoulder and noticed a out of place man staring at them from the gates of the school before said man poked back behind the stone pillar.

"..."

This was only the beginning for them, He could feel it.

I don't know if i should be doing this but...Me and fellow writer True, you'll know her from my ROTG fic we did, well we're collaborating on a fic for the Kagerou project, i'll add more about it as a teaser next chapter once i get permission (never hurts to ask)..but right now we're figuring out who posts it, who edits what and even what happens, things like that...

what i can say tho is it'll be AU like almost completely in a sense and it focuses on Takane and Haruka.

besides this news I hope everyone enjoys the chapter and i'll work on another once things clear up.
