Ishida sighed heavily, growling to himself in quiet frustration.
Now he had a new problem... where did he go now? He had no idea where Kirigiri lived, and wasn't about to just go back to His house... after all, Takaaki was still alive.
So Ishida was stuck in early morning, in the dark, outside in the cold, lost, with a girl leaning on him and fast asleep.

"Well, this is just fantastic..." Ishida rolled his wet eyes, and groaned.
He picked up Kirigiri and pushed her onto his back, holding onto her legs and leaning forwards slightly so she didn't slip off.
Ishida decided to try and ask Kirigiri where her house was... it was unlikely she would provide a useful answer when she was this out of it, but like most things up until that moment, it was worth a try.

"Ay, Kirigiri-kun, where's yer house?" Ishida raised his voice slightly as he said this, in the hopes that Kirigiri would hear him.

Kirigiri only replied to this by groaning slightly in her sleep, nuzzling more against Ishida's back as he carried her.
She was so warm now...

Ishida sighed. "ADDRESS!" he growled in an attempt to get the sleeping girl's attention.
He felt kind of bad... he might have woken her up...

Kirigiri mumbled something, nuzzling against Ishida's back still. "N...n-No.18..." she sighed, her eyes still closed. She certainly hadn't woken up in the slightest... that was good at least.

Wait..."No.18"... that made no sense! Ishida needed more information than that... like what town for a start!

"Wait... like what town?" Ishida sighed as he spoke, starting to feel tired himself. After all, he was awake all night when they were back in the school... and he tended to forget the limitations of having a physical form...
Humans seemed to get tired really quickly.

He received no reply, no groan, no mumbling, nothing.

Ishida looked around... he knew that they weren't that far from his house... so they were definitely somewhere.
He walked to the light of a streetlamp, and surveyed the line of houses before him.
If Kirigiri wasn't going to give him a full answer then he could try any "No.18" he saw, until he found the right one, or Kirigiri woke up, whichever came first. He could probably find Kirigiri's house keys in her pockets somewhere, and if not, someone was probably in the house at this time anyway...
He wasn't sure how he would explain to anyone there everything that had happened, but if it came to it, Ishida would have to.

Wait... if Kirigiri had been so vague... just telling Ishida the house number... did that mean she meant she lived the town they were currently in?

"Alright, little miss confidential... let's try this..." he muttered, walking down the road.

It really was dark, and Ishida really wasn't sure how he was going to be able to see the writing on the door to know the number...
He sighed, and pulled one of his hands away from Kirigiri, supporting her by leaning forwards again. He poked his working eye slightly, and brought the arm backwards again, flinching a little.
"Ack!"

Luckily this did the trick. His eye flames glowed blue in the darkness, and Ishida could see a few inches in front of him at least.
Like built in flashlights! At least being a walking fire hazard was good for something... even if it wasn't all that convenient all round.
"No.18..." he muttered, feeling his left eye throb as it was engulfed in flames.

Ishida felt more and more tired with every step he took. "Ugh, if this ain't the right town I'm gonna be so ticked off..."
He heard Kirigiri groan quietly, and decided to try his best to be quiet from now on... he didn't want her to wake up and run away again.
"That'd just be annoying at this point..." He whispered to himself as quietly as he could.
After nearly an hour of searching in the dark, he finally came to a blue door with a metal plate on it. "No.18"

He pulled Kirigiri off his back carefully, and placed her next to the door so Ishida could look through her pockets. He was kind of scared that the purple haired girl would wake up as he did this... after all, it looked an awful lot like he was trying to rob her.
In fact, if anyone saw him doing this it would cause some trouble... Ishida wasn't exactly the least generally suspicious person in the world, more the opposite really, so he wouldn't have been surprised if someone had seen him doing this and called the police immediately.
Ishida sighed as he pushed his hand into Kirigiri's jacket pocket, looking for the house keys.

Kirigiri looked a little irritated in her sleep, and grumbled quietly... she appeared to be shaking.
Well, it was cold... Ishida was the only person strangely unaffected. Perhaps it was because he was essentially a heater with legs... the fire around his eyes was mostly responsible for this fact.
He sighed, finding the keys and pulling them out from Kirigiri's pocket. "This better work..." he mumbled, turning to the door.

Ishida pushed the key into the lock, and took a deep breath before turning it.
To his surprise this was the right house! Perfect!
He kicked the door open and picked up Kirigiri again, who seemed happier once he did, obviously warmer than when she was on the ground. Ishida proceeded to walk through the door, pushing it shut with his foot behind him. "Anyone 'ere?" he whispered into the dark room.

Ishida received no reply as he walked in further, flicking on the light switch. "What the hell..."

Either Kirigiri lived alone, or her family were really bad at hearing intruders... He wasn't exactly going out of his way to sneak in stealthily...
The albino boy put Kirigiri down on the couch, exhausted, and flopped next to her. If someone found out he was there, it didn't matter... if Takaaki went looking for him, he certainly wouldn't expect Ishida to hide this close to his own house... so things would hopefully be alright.
He leaned back next to Kirigiri, and closed his eyes. "What a day, right?" he chuckled dryly.
