[quote=Zane620] Hearing Souta say stop then appear in front of her made her stop and look up at him, asking her what she planned to do from here, she wanted to say something but truthfully she couldn't. She knew nothing as to where this person who took Hozumi went. So far all she had done was destroy a pretty looking forest. She was given a tight hug as he tried to comfort her, but all she wanted was her little Hozumi back. As he let the hug go, he said they would just have to try harder which made her give a small smile and nod. Fumio then came down to both of them and standing behind her he backed up Souta and suggested they ask the Captain if she didn't have any leads. "All I know is she had a encounter with my brother, and then she was gone. We could ask the Captain, but I don't know what good it would do. I checked all the nearby districts, and no one seen a child of Hozumi's description." [/quote] [u]Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru Hari[/u] The second Aya mentioned her brother, Fumio's eyes widened a little. [i]'Brother?'[/i]. [b]"Well why don't we go talk to your brother? You've never mentioned him before though, how come? Is he as crazy as you or somethin'? Heh, if that's even possible"[/b] Souta spoke lightly, trying to brighten the mood up a little. He really did want Hozumi back as soon as possible since he hated seeing Aya like this... She was usually so bubbly and rude, already Souta was starting to miss that... He thought that serious sadness did not suit Aya at all. [b]"Do you know where your brother is? The sooner we talk to him, the quicker we'd be able to get Hozumi back. Surely your brother would help us and if he knows what the woman looks, we'll be able to find her and make her pay for taking your son!"[/b] He smiled, hoping that Aya would feel a little better knowing that they'd have a solid lead. However, one thing did puzzle him.... If she knew this then why didn't she talk to her brother first?... Was there something he was missing here?
