"Tell me where" Yin asked Mao. "Alright, walk forward and watch out for the start of th pile" Mao said. Yin took careful steps stepping into the pile, she fell twice, but didn't complain about the scrapes she got from the boards and nails. She made it over to the hand and grasped it. It was warm and familiar, that's when hope returned to her, she knew it was Hei's hand. She tugged on the hand, trying to pull the one attached to it up. To no avail though, so she started ripping boards away from the spot where the hand was. Yin didn't get very far before she had to stop. Her hands were bloddy and still bleeding. Yin felt the boards move beneath her, so she inched backwards with Mao at her side. The person, whom Yin strongly believed was Hei, stood up moving the rest of the boards away. Yin stood up and reached out to the person. There were hands waiting to take her's. "Yin are you alright" it was Hei. "Yes" Yin said. Hei shook his head and examined her hands. "These look like pretty deep cuts" Hei said pulling out some bandages from his coat pocket.

Hei wrapped up Yin's hands and her scrapped up legs. "Not to tight right" Hei asked. "Their fine" Yin said "thank you." Yin brought her hands up to her face and pushed her mouth into a smile. Hei smiled slightly and picked Mao up akwardly. Mao wiggled out of Hei's arms and jumped up to Yin's shoulder, where Yin stroked his fur. Hei took one of Yin's hands gently. "Come on let's go home, I'm really hungry" Hei said. Yin nodded and let Hei lead her away from the horrible smelly, destroyed building.

As they neared the appartments Mao jumped from Yin's shoulder and bid his farewells. "I'll come by tomorrow to check on everything, I hope you two are redy to take part in the festival tomorrow night" Mao said scampering away. Hei mentaly smacked his forehead, how could he have forgoten the festival. "Hey Yin do you have a kimono" Hei asked. Yin shook her head. "No" she replied. "Well would you like to go get one" Hei asked. "That sounds like fun" Yin said emotionlessly. Hei smiled and nodded, he grabbed Yin's hand and led her down the street. They found a nice little shop that sold women's kimonos and went inside. "What design do you have in mind" Hei asked. "How about a water pattern" Yin said. "Can do" Hei said searching the racks. "They have one in dark blue and one in red, which color do you perfer" Hei asked. Yin thought it over silently. "Red" Yin replied. Hei pulled out the red one. It had a scene of a river running in front of an old japanese house. "Alright give me a second to pay for it" Hei said. Yin waited untill Hei took her hand and lead her out the door, and on the way home.
