The forest was noisy as hell once you really stopped to listen, Duncan realized. He had to push past birdsong and wind, leave behind the shouts from the lake and ignore the suspicious rustling from somewhere far away, and [i]really [/i]hone in on what he was trying to hear. Footsteps, voices, some indication that the two had gone this way at all.

[i]“That’s…huh.”[/i]

Duncan stopped mid-step, head whirling towards the voice. That was [i]definitely [/i]Haruko. He turned, starting towards where he thought the sound came from, but even if his hearing was good, it didn't mean his ability to follow his ears was. So, for now, all he could do was walk and listen, trying to make sense out of what sounded like the tail end of a conversation. Goddamnit, he'd [i]just [/i]missed the main point!

Urgency turned into annoyed curiosity once he realized there didn't seem to be any real danger involved. It was just some weird police shit. Was Akito confessing to a crime? ... Nah. The dude barely had the balls to cause trouble at school, much less outside of it. He was all talk.

... But [i]what [/i]did he want to hurt as much as possible?

Just in case, Duncan quickened his pace until he could hear the two's heartbeats. He wasn't about to just bust in the middle of whatever was going on, though. So, once he got closer, he slowed down and crouched down, trying to keep hidden as he tried to get close enough to see, but not to [i]be [/i]seen.
