His skin was cold and there was no pulse. When she tried to nudge him over there was a lot of blood dripping... Kideme bit down hard on her tongue as she felt a lump in her throat. She didn't want to believe it, but when she saw Guren slowly get up and have that look in his eye she looked away. "No..." She barely whispered, trying to not to let it out. Still, she could feel salt on her tongue and her eyes burning with moisture.

By then, the others arrived and Kideme moved out the way, hoping that with a medic he might have a chance. She went over to his father, seeing that he was hurting and tried to kneel down by him, putting a hand on his shoulder. If he allowed her to anyway, if he didn't, she gave him space while she fought back tears, fidgeting with her hands in complete anxiety.

What made things worse was the approach of nightfall. The moon was normally something that Kideme usually felt happy to see but not tonight. But for now, there was nothing she could do but hope, pray, and wait. She kept out of the way but remained nearby as she sunk to the floor near Taiki, looking away. She...didn't want to see the looks on their faces if what she feared would be true. As she waited, Kideme couldn't help but reflect back to seven years ago. He was just a rude, cute boy that always came to her tea house at roughly 2:30 to have some jade tea and a sushi roll. But then time would pass, and he graduated from that to the guy she always wrote letters to for him to come visit. Just to see him, just to bug him. She remembered the late nights of when she, him, and Hayato would play mahjong or shogi after a night of action. As well as the early mornings when they rode horses, exchanging the occasional joke. And then the times where it would just be the two of them, doing absolutely nothing at all, saying nothing at all. Just simply being there but with the added bonus of each other's company. It might have started out as a favor about dancing, killing and good food and tea, but things had blossomed into so much more and it hurt Kideme to know that they might not have any of those moments ever again.

So now she waited.
