Log;

[He's waiting in the dark, a calm purr in a shadow of dreams for Joshua. Perhaps he's foe, perhaps he's friend, but there's no doubt in the Corinthian's mind that a voice like Rosette's can bring Joshua out of bed.]

He watched as Doumeki doubled over, and he was glad it hurt. But there was something- Something off. His 'noise'. There wasn't anything bad there. No cries of monster or vicious plotting. Something in his voice.

Confused, Joshua began to loosen his grip, looking down at Doumeki with a puzzled gaze. "...You're not--"

Ah.

He heard the gunshot. He felt the jolt. But it didn't really...compute as to what had just happened. Something was in his chest, and it was making it hard to breath. Something was filling his lungs, and it... It felt hot.

Joshua didn't know why this night had happened. Why had he been called out? Why had he been attacked? Why was he here? He didn't...understand.

And there was no time to understand. The most he could do was drop Doumeki's hands and start to turn, to try and see his attacker, but before his gaze could find his sister, he was staggering and falling. He hit the ground hard, and perhaps his head hitting the ground and knocking him out was more a mercy than it was a punishment.

Doumeki dropped as Joshua dropped his hands, falling limply to the pavement, landing hard on his shoulder, hands curled protectively into his chest as he forced down a wave of nausea, shuddering, taking several deep breaths, trying to calm himself.

It took a good several minutes for him to manage to push himself up on an elbow, amber eyes blearily taking in what had transpired while his eyes were closed.

The girl trembled, watching her brother fall as if in slow motion. She dropped the gun, hurrying to her brother's side and carefully rolling him over, panting a little as she checked to make sure he was still-

Thats Right, he was dead already. It made her ill. And she ran her hand down his cheek, gritting her teeth at the sight of his eye.

"Goddamn it..." She growled, and carefully moved her brother so that she cradled his head and shoulders. "Those bastards..."

Her eyes lifted to Doumeki, furrowing her eyebrows.

"....Are you ok?"

Doumeki swallowed, keeping his hands close to hsi chest, out of his own sight. If he saw them now, there was no way he'd be able to keep the contents of his stomach. Instead he finagled himself into a sitting position, sitting back on his calves.

"Can you get him back to the Cathedral on your own?"

She carefully shifted to her raw feet, looping one of his arms over her shoulder and hooked her arm about his hip, straining him up with her. "I have him, you need to go to the hospital." She said quickly, trying to ignore the sluggish blood coming from her brother's chest. She couldnt look at Doumeki, the guilt was overpowering enough as it was.

"....I'm sorry."

And he rocks back onto his feet, stumbling backwards a bit as he rises to full standing position.

"You saved me."

"Then its up to a million and one isn't it?" She asked wryly, glancing up at him slowly, her eyes still wet.

"Get to the hospital Shizuka." She dragged her feet, huffing as she pulled her brother back to the cathedral, unable to look back at him.

He opened his mouth to reply, but snapped it shut as she walked off, turning and walking quickly in the direction of the hospital.
