sisknowsbest and Riou bright_shield
Summary; A touching reunion between two siblings, one of whom doesn't realize she's supposed to be dead. Now the question is, is she trying to hug him or kill him? Apologies to any traumatized bystanders around the fountain!
Log;
Riou ran through the city.
Nanami. Nanami. His sister. He had spent nearly his whole time within the city trying to find a way back home, back to his duties, responsibilities. Purpose. But that entire time he had secretly hoped-- dreamed-- this was a place where the impossible became possible, wasn't it? Where time held no sway. Where the dead walked with the living.
Nanami... I'm so sorry...
Riou was jolted out of his thoughts as he nearly slammed into another dead end. The hell? That building hadn't been there before, had it? He'd traveled to the fountains so many times before, yet now, when she was waiting for him... He took off again.
But was there a curse today? Was there a curse today?! She had never come before-- no matter how much he may have wished-- not even during that curse where he was haunted by ghosts from his past. But, even still-- Dammit, why hadn't he been paying closer attention to the network?
Riou hadn't thought there was a curse when he had set out early that morning for the northern forests, on yet another search for the elusive 'Tenzan Pass' where he and Jowy had fought that duel. But then he had somehow managed to break his tablet on the way there-- his eleventh! but that didn't matter now-- and had only now just gotten back into the city to purchase a new tablet.
To see Futch's post, pointing him to--
Nanami.
"ARGH!" Riou half-shouted as he suddenly came upon the library, not caring one whit at the passersby goggling at him. The fountains not the library...! The city was bloody playing with him today! If you thought of a destination supposedly the city would lead you straight to it, in theory at least. It hadn't always worked that way for Riou, but even his own pretty good sense of direction was failing him today.
Right. The fountains. Even if he had to go through every other bit of the city to find it. Riou spun on his heel and was off again.
Was she real? Really real? And if she was-- was she dead? Would that mean she was trapped in the city forever, if that was the case? Oh god, he'd wanted to see her again, but not if that was the price... And if she wasn't-- the war-- No, none of that mattered right now. He could do-- think-- later. He just had to get to her...
Not too late. Not too late...
Riou came skidding to a halt. The bustling sounds of the crowd. The tantalizing scent of exotically cooked foods. Colorful street vendors and shops carefully tended by keepers suddenly lined the streets. It was the Square... and at it's center...
The Fountains.
Surrounded thickly by people, as usual. But even amongst the crowd, one figure stood out to him. So familiar and yet... he should never have been able to see her again. He had failed. She was lost to him forever back home, but here, now... Riou swallowed the lump within his throat.
"... Nanami!"

But then the abrupt change in Riou's demeanor startled her. What was wrong with Rockaxe?
"What do you mean don't go to Rockaxe? Shu wants to send you there, so I have to go to protect you, whether you like it or not," Nanami said with a pointed look, just daring Riou to tell her no. Though she was honestly afraid of the tone in his voice.
