Memories Cannot Last Forever...

[Kayoko]

Kayoko walked down the crowded road with great difficulty.
She sighed, she bought a ton of stuff.
Stuff for Jun-san, Mika-san, Mei-san, Kei-san, Venus-san, and Yasuo-san. She scolded herself mentally, she couldn't buy others' trust! I can't believe myself. I'm such a-

She gasped when a couple guys pulled her into an alley.
"Hey. We're lookin' for Jiro. Seen him? You look like you're from his school. He's got somethin' to say to da boss.", One of the roughened gang members said.

Kayoko smiled.
"Nope, he moved to America. I'm sorry. He told me you guys would be looking for him, then left saying nothing else."
She watched their faces turn furious as they ran out of the alley.
"We'll get him! He's on the move!", They all screeched.

Kayoko walked out of the alley and slumped down next to a nearby wall. She frowned, they were after him.
They say memories do not last forever, but a memory is chasing you, Yasuo!

[Yasuo]

Yasuo eyed the rough-looking teens as they stormed out of an alley. As if by instinct, he instantly began to blend into the crowd of people. He hardly noticed as Kayoko walked out soon after, slumping down the wall. He mentally noted all the bags she carried.

"Looks like they're getting closer," Yasuo sighed as the last teen disappeared from view. He'd recognized them and felt a small chill run up his spine.

A moment later he was crossing the street to speak with Kayoko. Before he reached her, he muttered to himself, gaze fixed on where the teens were last seen.
"I'm going to have to stop running.."

[Kayoko]

Kayoko dropped the bags and hugged him tightly.
"Please, don't! I know it's wrong...But you could die!"

[Yasuo]

Yasuo sighed, returning the embrace. He closed his eyes as he thought over his options.
"..I'll do what I have to. Hopefully, whatever that is, it'll be enough."

[Kayoko]

Kayoko smiled a little.
"Be careful then, please. They're looking for you everywhere now, any sign or trace of you."

[Yasuo]

Yasuo nodded.
"They'll get more than just a trace of me," he growled, fists clenching. Then he turned on his heel and stalked off.
"Time to get prepared.."

[Kayoko]

Kayoko sighed and picked up her bags.
Time to get prepared?...Oh Yasuo..
"Be careful..", She said again before walking back to Tama.
