I yawn, and turn the page. It's not that late, really. I shouldn't be tired. But the house is unusually quiet and I'm finding it incredibly hard to focus on these reports.

Oh, well. I sip my coffee, then pick up my red pen again and make myself concentrate.

The problem is, since Basco's body showed up, since Sid-sempai became miraculously not dead but very much sleeping with Marvelous... things are happening. Memories are coming back. And I'm getting less scared.

I'm starting to get angry.

I've been playing with the little blue and black figurine from Marvelous for at least an hour now. Flipping it open to examine the silvery key shape, flipping it shut again to look at the suit.

It's too much. It's not fair.

I head downstairs, with every intent of simply leaving the house. But Jou is sitting at the table with a pile of reports, and I have to know something right then, while I have him and the memories are clear.

"Who's Gou?"

The name sounds familiar. Right, I remember thinking it was odd that his name was so similar to Jou's.

I probably wasn't supposed to overhear Tetsuya's conversation, but it's too late now.

"Yeah. You... you've never mentioned him before. But he's a friend of yours, right?" My fingers tighten around the little Key in my hand. "From then. When you were Livemen. Properly, I mean. Before these happened." I hold the Key up, and I know Jou has one too, somewhere in the house. Yuusuke and Megumi too. I've seen Junichi and Tetsuya show theirs to Gai. Another thing Jou never told me.

"I'm starting to remember some things." My voice sounds weird. Painful and tight, like my throat doesn't want me to be speaking at all.

"Like when we met before." I tighten my fingers around the Key again. "About how your friends... your friends all died. Like Sid-sempai had to die."

That's what I figured. My throat tenses again, but I don't care. I'm sick of feeling helpless.

"No." I think I might be shaking, I'm not sure. "But you didn't tell me that. You were telling me that I couldn't save my friend instead."

"How?" I demand. "How was it different. How do you know? How do you know I couldn't save Sid-sempai? I killed him, you know that? I did it, by myself."

He's mad too. I don't care. I want answers, and no one will give them to me. "What about these?" I hold the Key up again. "You have one too, I know you do. Why'd you never tell me about them? Not even after I got this." I shake the little blue one at him, the one that I know is mine, or at least is supposed to be. "Why won't anyone tell me anything, Jou?"

I frown at him, my own fists are clenched, and the angles of the Key in my hand are digging into my palm and fingers.

"How do you know? How did you know anything about him at all? Some schematics on a piece of alien technology you might not have even understood completely?"

I turn away, hanging my head, trying to breathe. "I meant the Key. You need one of these to do it, don't you? You didn't used to, but you do now, and it has something to do with my past, my real past. And I didn't know. I know nothing."

"No one seems to remember anything." I growl.

He comes up behind me, too quickly, and I spin around with an arm up to block a strike that I never should have even conceived of happening. Why am I acting this way?

Doesn't matter. I thought he was going to hit me, so I reacted. I knock his arm away and stare into his eyes.

"I don't know who I'm supposed to trust anymore. My parents, whose memories are no better than mine? My supposed pirate crew who want to take me away? Who should I trust, Jou? Who knows anything anymore?"

I'm in the door and about to start planning something to put together for dinner when I notice Joe's Mobirates and Ranger Key. With no Joe.

And then I see Jou's face.

"Jou! What happened? Where's Joe?"

Date: 2012-07-29 09:25 am (UTC)
bluedolphin: (Looking out)
From: [personal profile] bluedolphin
"Where is he? Why didn't he take his Mobirates?" My eyes are filling with tears already, "we have to tell the boys - where are they? They're safe, aren't they?"

Date: 2012-07-29 10:24 am (UTC)
bluedolphin: (Yuusuke)
From: [personal profile] bluedolphin
I fix him with a stare. We'll talk about that later, "we should call Yuusuke. We need to go out there and look for him -" It'll be several hours before the police class him as missing, and by then it could be too late.

Date: 2012-07-29 01:08 pm (UTC)
bluedolphin: (Now)
From: [personal profile] bluedolphin
"You went all over town to look for him? Maybe we should go again. If there's two of us, we can cover more ground and go back to places in case he's there now. One of us has to stay at home in case there's news or Joe comes back."

Yuusuke should stay at home, I think.

Date: 2012-07-29 01:31 pm (UTC)
bluedolphin: (Yuusuke)
From: [personal profile] bluedolphin
"Why don't you stay here and Yuusuke and I will look for Joe? I'll call him now." I reach towards the phone.

Date: 2012-07-29 02:11 pm (UTC)
bluedolphin: (Then)
From: [personal profile] bluedolphin
"Okay, okay - you know where you looked for him. We'll leave Yuusuke here in case something happens. One of us has to call him. Now." I hold out the phone between us.
