[u]Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru[/u]

Fumio had finished his tea, sat on the ground wit his legs crossed. His posture was immaculate as usual, however he displayed nothing but sadness. Placing the cup onto the table, he leaned forward, propping both elbows on top of said table before rubbing his face. [b]"Wh-what... have I done..."[/b] He whispered, earning a gaze from Souta who was currently leaning his back against a kitchen counter, reading a magazine. Souta then put the reading material down onto the counter, walking over to the table to clean away the cup. [b]"You did what you were bound to do. What we all are bound to do... It could of been me, but I chose not to... When Huerona saw me, I knew there and then that she didn't know who I was and thought that maybe, just maybe, one of us could escape from this... So I fought the urge to fight... You, on the other hand, are different. There's more of a reason for you to do what you did. I don't believe that your actions were right but I know that's how you were forced to be I guess.... All I can do is try and stop you from causing too much trouble... Heh, in that sense, I am like your older brother"[/b] Souta shrugged, washing the cup before putting it on the drying rack and wiping his hands with a clean towel. 

Fumio looked up and watched Souta as he spoke. His eyes then reverted downwards. [b]".. D-do you think.... she'll ever forgive me?..."[/b] He asked quietly, keeping his eyes to the table. Souta walked out of the kitchen area and crossed his arms. [b]"Well, there's only one way to find out. If she's the way she always has been then it'll be hard... But eventually she'll forgive you"[/b] Souta perked up all of a sudden, sensing a presence. Fumio lifted his eyes up suddenly simultaneously, sensing the same presence. [b]"Shit... Looks like my fight has attracted company...."[/b] [b]"Yeah, don't worry though, I'll bring her in. You go set things straight"[/b] Souta looked at Fumio as the latter stood up straight, straightening himself out. [b]"Okay... "[/b] With that, Fumio turned towards the door and opened it, leaving the room without looking back and running out of the Squad 8 barracks. [i]'I hope she's Okay....'[/i]. Souta, however, strolled out of the room, closing the door behind him before stuffing his fists into his pockets and walking out of the barracks, heading towards the gates of the Seireitei. [i]'She's close, almost at the entrance... I'll stop her before she does anything rash.... It is damn Patrika after all... '[/i].
