[i]The Demon of Hibusa.[/i] Sayuri scoffed inside - was that how Rei saw herself nowadays? 

[color=82ca9d]"[i]Mostly's[/i] and [i]Maybes[/i]."[/color] the girl shook her head [color=82ca9d]"The fact you tell me you're not gonna fall and know what you're doing is exactly why I am so worried."[/color]

She listened to the rest of Hizuki's speech. As it went on, Sayuri's emotions only grew in intensity. She tried listening, but the words just rung false - or Sayuri just did not want to hear them. The new girl's had some inkling of logic to her plan... but to Sayuri the ending chapter of that story was a forgone conclusion. 

[color=82ca9d]"You won't be."[/color] she said, matter of factly. Her arms fell down, no longer reaching for Hizuki's. [color=82ca9d]"You think no one tried? I tried - with your 'Demon'. Rei. Before the club, before magic. Surprise; it led nowhere, and now we have a Depression Club worsening things everywhere they go!"[/color]

Sayuri hopped into the air and back onto the large blue frog. She hated what she heard and what she saw. She hated that Hizuki would remain among the club... but maybe, just maybe, there was a slimmer of hope. Not for the club, of course, but for Hizuki. She sighed, the grave air she had going back to her more usual casual, semi-serious air. 

[color=82ca9d]"Look, if you want to stay with them be my guess. You want to teach them good manners and to stop spreading misery?"[/color] her stare went dark for a second as she looked up to Willow, just as her friend was launching eyes around. [color=82ca9d]"Start by teaching them not to laugh at someone's Mother's passing. Some things should be off limit, and next time I won't be as playful."[/color]

She gazed back down to Hizuki as Raijin turned around, all three of them ready to jump off and leave.

[color=82ca9d]"The name is Kaeru, by the way. When you'll need me, I'm not hard to find."[/color]
