[Private] Return to the Clearing
After Sumiko and Eric left the two other students, they'd wandered the forest a bit without the map, and had come to a halt in a familiar part of the forest. The clearing where all this madness had started. Here and there were a few scorch marks, and the trees definitely looked worse for wear. Deep ridges scarred the trunks where various blades and claws had gouged them.
Eric thinks back on how his life had changed after discovering his first husk.
Takeshi is a man with strange values, but... I get what I want. If it all goes wrong.. well... I have my plans.
"I do believe we're lost Sumiko-chan. We'll head back to Takeshi's lab." Eric says, turning to the cowering girl. He takes a step closer and brushes her hair out of her eyes, and notices the scar. "You're beautiful."

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Sumiko flinches, looking away from him
"I-I'm not beautiful."
She did not want him, of all people, to call her that. She looked back for just a moment to see Sayuri and The boy out of sight. Then looking around seeing the place torn apart.
T-this is not the same place where I met Veach-san... where are we?

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Eric looks confused for a second.
"Yes... yes you are." He says, staring at her.
I suppose she must have had feelings for that werewolf.... I should allow her to speak to him one last time.
"Listen... I know it was hard letting go of your old life but... do you... wanna phone your ex-boyfriend?"

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Sumiko cringed a bit. She still loved Christopher that has not changed whatsoever, but she played along
"N-No, It's okay. I don't want to talk with him anymore...."
She gave him a fake smile and got closer to Eric.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
... Wow. Did not expect that.
Eric has a look of surprise on his face, "You... you sure? It's perfectly natural to want to speak to him... Can we not at least rub it in his face?" He says, ending with a pout.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Her eye slightly twitched hearing 'Can we not at least rub it in his face?' getting mad but she kept her composure, took a deep breath, and shook her head
"No, I-it would be best if Chris did not see... us."
She gave Eric a hug. she could feel the modifications through his clothes. It made her shiver in fear.

"I see."
Eric leads Sumiko further into the forest, and the edge of it comes into view.
"We're almost there. I need to blindfold you again."

"So you don't see where we go." Eric says gruffly. "If Cook were to try and kidnap you we can't let you know the location."
He slips the blindfold over her eyes and hails a taxi.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
With the blindfold on again she asks as the taxi comes by...
"B-But if Chris came to... 'Kidnap' me. He would already know the location. so putting this blindfold over me is useless."
A cold sweat appears on her skin as she gets nervous going back to Takeshi's lab

Eric smiles.
"I meant outside the lab, sweetie. You won't be locked up."
Eric passes the cab driver a slip of paper with the location on it, along with a fairly large sum of money.

She pouts a bit trying to gain something out of him
"Eric..."
she tries to gently grab his hand
"You know I won't betray you right?"

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Eric takes Sumiko's hand in his.
"Of course not my loe. But we must be careful - if Christopher was to worm the location of Takeshi's lab out of you - he may resort to torture - that could spell the end for us all. We need to take the utmost care, Sumiko-chan." He says, smiling.
The cab draws closer to their destination and Eric prepares for the couple of miles they will have to walk to reach the lab.
"I'll have to lead you blindfolded from here on out, Sumiko." He says gently, stroking her hand lightly with his.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Sumiko subtly shakes her head in failure of trying to see the location of where Takeshi's lab was. But...
"Okay..."
After a few minutes of walking Sumiko speaks
"Eric, Are we almo-"
She hits a pole releasing herself form Eric's light grip and falling on her bottom. Her blindfold almost falling off.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Eric feels the jerk of Sumiko's hand leaving his, and turns around immediately, "Hey, wai-.. Sumiko!" He immediately kneels down and checks she's ok.
"Are you hurt?" He asks while repositioning her blindfold.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Sumiko touches her face feeling blood coming out of her nose
"E-Eric I-I think I'm bleeding.."
She touches her face again in the same spot feeling more of the red liquid come out

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Eric gulps loudly.
Blood...
His eyes go wide and starts shaking slightly and licking his lips.
"Y-you'll... you'll be fine." He stammers, and starts walking in the opposite direction, "Hurry up."
I can't... not Sumiko... not Sumiko...

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
still on the ground she wipes more of the blood off her.
"Y-you're not going to help me up? I-I can't see Eric..."
Her voices gets a bit shaky. Sumiko feels around to get some good footing before getting up herself. She covers her wound and slowly walks around aimlessly.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Steeling his nerves, Eric walks back and grips Sumiko by the arm and half drags her towards to Inn.
"Here we are." He says through gritted teeth, the stench of blood reaching his nostrils.
The pair retreat into the dark facility to go find Takeshi.

"C-Can you take these off then please? S-since we are here."
Her voice still shaky, she can feel that they were back maybe this time for good.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Eric stops abruptly, turns around and removes the blindfold, before hurrying off deeper into the facility with no more than a gruff "Come."
He yells out "Takeshi!" from time to time, which echoes along the walls.

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
As he walks around a corner, Eric bumps right into Takeshi's exoskeleton. The scientist's eyes are only barely visible through his helmet, though it's obvious that they're both staring right at the boy.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand.

"Because we have yet another bargaining chip. And this one will sway one of their key members- The wolf boy." Eric says without breaking the stare between the two of them.
That and as soon as you lay a finger on me all of the husks in this facility will come crashing down on you. You may well be a combat genius, Takeshi, but nigh on three hundred husks would flatten you with sheer numbers alone.
Eric beckons to Sumiko, "This is his ex-girlfriend, Sumiko. Chris is one of the most influential people in the school, I doubt he would give up Sumiko to save Tachibana's life. You should revise your hostage 101."

She looks at Takeshi and bows
"H-Hello...."
"H-Hello...."

Re: [Private] Return to the Clearing
Takeshi turns towards Sumiko. Ah, Nakagawa-san... It's nice to see you again, even under such circumstances... To be perfectly honest, I wish I had recruited you rather than this idiot here he says and turns towards Eric. You are dismissed. I'll decide what to do with you later.
