Falling Down All Around Me

[LoneWolf]

Okay... Things were going to be okay. They had to be. Flight was pacing a block or so away from the hospital in the next town over from Tokyo. She'd pretty much disappeared, refusing to allow Ryuu or her pack to be pulled into her angst about another miscarriage. But the doctor had told her yesterday that the possibility was extremely low, like one to nothing, or something like that. So, he was positive she was going to have the child. Now she was not. But the full moon was several weeks away. She would have the baby before then. So that type of miscarriage wouldn't happen.

The only reason she hadn't really gone back home was the possibility of losing the child in labor. Lord above, she was worrying too much she realized. But she just couldn't go back till she actually had the child. Till everything was positive and good. It just... She didn't want to upset anyone. Especially when it was unnecessary.

She sighed. She would still have to call Raven. Since she'd left while no one was around, leaving the quick note that said second was in charge while she was gone. Which was Kyo or Keiji. They were really close in ranking. Suki rubbed her eyes ignoring the people that stared at the strange pacing pregnant lady on the sidewalk.

Getting the phone out of her pocket she dialed Raven's number with fumbling fingers. When the girl finally picked up she got this.

"Where the h*ll have you been!" Raven was aggravated.
"Calm down, I called to tell you I'll be back soon. Just give me a few more days."
"You've been gone for nearly six months! I'm supposed to-" She cut herself off. Suki hadn't heard Raven so aggravated in a long time. "If you were pregnant again then why didn't you stay here? You can't just run off because of that. Even if you are afraid of a miscarriage. It happens, alright?" Raven hissed the first bit then calmed as she went.
"I'm sorry. But I'll be back soon. Alright?" Suki replied, getting ready to shut the phone.
"Fine, but you should call Ryuu too. If you don't I will, and I know where you went."
"No you don't. And I'm ordering you not to. It's unnecessary to call him at the moment." Suki didn't usually order outright, but she didn't want to have to tell Ryuu about losing another child.
"You're not in charge, you left Keiji and Kyo in charge, I don't have to listen to you right now." Raven ended the call before Flight could reply. "Ha..." She said. Now she just needed to raid Suki's room for Ryuu's number and call him and tell him what was going on.

When Raven finally found the number she had to just leave a message on Ryuu's phone.
"Hey, this is Raven, Fl- Suki - is in *the next town over don't know the name so insert here* and she's pregnant again." She took a breath. "She told me not to contact you but I am anyway. So... Yeah. That's it." She ended the message and sighed. Bleh, she hoped he would meet Flight there. Flight tried to be stronger emotionally, normally she was, but despite everything she still needed support. Raven knew that better then most.

((Eh... I can edit if ya don't know what to post, um... Plat. XD))

Ryuu was actually sleeping when Flight called, an empty pizza box sitting on the foot of his bed. This is how Ryuu dealed with stress. Eating pizza then slepeing. Actually, that's how Ryuu dealed with everything. But right now, Ryuu was stressed over Suki suddenly leaving.

When he finally woke up, the phone blinked a read message at him.

1 new message(s)

Ryuu stared at it stupidly for a moment before leaning over and clicking random buttons untill the darned thing played the message. He waited grogily, rubbing one eye as the recorded message sounded from the phone.

Raven's voice played back at him. He blinked and straited.

Gaaah.... SUKI!

Now he was even more stressed and he had run out of pizza to shove down his throat.

So he got dressed and rubbed the sleep from his multicolored eyes. He ran his hand through his hair-which needed to be cut- and then jammed his cellphone and wallet in his pocket before going outside to get himself a taxi or bus or train to the next town over. He had no car of his own, to be honest. Didn't really need one, though. He lived smack dab in the middle of Tokyo and never went to far away from the place. All the places he needed to go were in walking distance. Anytime he visited his family, he called a cab.

So after Ryuu woke up completely-which involved almost getting hit by a car and being cused at, then given the finger- he got an idea.

Maybe Raven has a car... maybe Raven could give him a ride...

He knew where the girl lived because Suki had given him the adress once. He had written it on the back of a receipt and stuck it in his wallet. He was now digging for it.

Ah! There is was!

So the man made his way over to Raven's quaterings, and once made it there, knocked on the door.

Besides, she could find Suki faster then he could. It would take him a month of searching the city to find the girl.

[LoneWolf]

((Rotfl, I like the part where he got hit with the car. XDDD))

Raven was putting the things she had moved in Flight's room back together. Well, back where they belonged. So she wouldn't freak when she came back, about how things had been moved around. So when there was a knock at the door her initial thought was 'Oh sh*t it's Flight coming to murder me'. Then she recognized the scent, as Ryuu's so she let out a sigh of relief. She scrambled up from where she had been under the bed and walked out to the main room. Bandit was out doing whatever with Akira, Keiji and Kyo were doing something that she didn't know about. So she was here alone.

She opened the door and looked up at the taller man. "I didn't think you'd come here." She stated. Then she sorta jumped to the side. It was an odd way to move out of the way, sort of wolf-ish though. "Watcha need?" She asked, as if she didn't know. Well... Actually she didn't really know. Go figure.

[Platinum]

"... Huh?" Ryuu momentarily forgot why he was there. The man was so ditsy that it was surprising that he was still alive.
"Oh, yeah. I have no money for a train ticket or a bus and I don't have a car, and even if I did have a car there's no way I'd remember to put gas any it, anyways, I need to get to Suki so do you have a car?" The man said, rambling on there for a moment before he finally shut his trap.
"... Or some money?" He gave her a sheepish grin.

[LoneWolf]

Raven was now trying to figure out how Flight could have fallen in love with Ryuu. He seemed completely oppisote of her. She was normally clean and organized, he seemed quite the oppisote of that. Well, whatever. Akira was completely oppisote of Bandit for the most part. As Keiji wasn't too similar to her. Opposites attract then. "I can give you some money, since I don't have a license yet." She could drive but not legally. Well, she could drive and LOOK like she was doing it legally. But Flight already had reasons to be angry with her and she didn't want to add more.

She left the main room and went to hers. Well, she had about twenty bucks. Flight had more. And after a moment of debating she went into the alpha's room and got out the money that was meant for emergencies and such. Well, Raven saw this as an emergency so why not use this money? "Here." She said handing off the money. It should be plenty to cover a train ticket.

[Platinum]

Ryuu grinned at the girl.
"Thanks." He said to her sincerely. "I'll bring you back any change." He promised her. "Wanna come along? I might have trouble finding her..." He said.

[LoneWolf]

Raven debated. She knew the place where Flight was all to well. Since she'd lived there once upon a time. She didn't really want to go, but she figured it would be better then Ryuu getting lost in the town or something.
"Sure. I know that area fairly well." She replied.

((*head desk* We could skip a bit, to like... Um, the hospital? Or I suppose Flight would be staying in an apartment building so there... XD))

[Platinum]

((XD, Sure.))

Kiyoshi grinned.
"All right, let's go." He said; before bustling out of the house and stumbling out onto the street, almost getting hit- AGAIN.

But he made his way to the train station, before buying a ticket and getting on the crowded subway. He had to stand it was so full. Normally if the trains were almost empty he would sleep untill he got to where he wanted to go. But now he couldn't take a single step without stepping on someone's toes.

A while passed, not too long, when finally they made it to the city, the train station wasn't too far away from the hospital, so he looked down at Raven, as if to ask her, 'Do we go in there... ?'

[LoneWolf]

Raven wasn't really paying attention to him. She managed to catch his look but she shook her head slightly. "There's only one apartment complex in this town. It's fairly small, but that's most likely where she'll be." Since Flight tended to like apartments better when she had to stay somewhere for a long period of time. Hotels annoyed her period. "This way." She added pointing and starting to walk.

[Platinum]

"Oh... okay. You lead the way." Ryuu told her, still looking down at the younger, smaller girl.

((Shoot.... me... NOW! ::death:

[LoneWolf]

Once at the apartment building Raven went to the front desk and asked where a 'Suki Maeda' was staying. She explained how Suki was her aunt and it was very important she found the woman. She managed to pull out a rather uneasy, wary smile. Though it would look rather pitiful as well.

The woman at the desk seemed wary but she gave Raven the room number. Raven gave a relieved smile and turned to go and find the room.

"Bandit's better at that." She stated as she walked.

((xP))

[Platinum]

Ryuu laughed.
"You do realize that I could have just said that I was her fiancée and they probably would have let us in." He told her with a silly grin as he noow went looking for the room number. Once he found it, he knocked polietly. He didn't want to startle the poor girl...

[LoneWolf]

"Uh... She didn't mention that." Raven figured she probably should have guessed though.

Suki was gathering up her things, since she'd be leaving soon. When there was a knock at the door it surprised her. Who was it? Then she sort of froze. Crap. Ryuu. That's who it was. She could have sworn it would take longer for him to figure out where she was unless... Raven must be here too. She walked over to the door rather warily and then unlocked it before opening it a bit then all the way.
"Raven..." She looked rather aggravated but helpless in this situation at the same time.

"Yeah, I'll just wait out here..." Raven said lightly. She looked down away from Flight's eyes.

[Platinum]

Ryuu's ditsy side stopp being ditssy and stupid at the moment.

"Suki..." He scolded lightly. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked her, looking down at her with his green, yellow, and red eyes. Quite an odd combination and actually kinda frightening, the way that they looked at people. Always so cold annd distant, the eyes looked, though that was exactly the opposite of what he was.
Ryuu reached up and brushed some of her hair away from her face.
"I would have understood. I would have understood anything you told me." The man promised her.

[LoneWolf]

Suki felt rather bad. She glanced at the floor then back up at him. "I just didn't want to end up having another miscarriage or losing the baby some how..." She bit her lip with another glance down. "I didn't think it was necessary to tell you." She added in a half mumble.

"I'm sorry." She murmured.

[Platinum]

Ryuu gave her a chiding glance, but smiled again.
"It wasn't like not telling me could prevent it. I think that if you're pregnant, it's pretty important and you should tell me." He told her. He place his hands on her stomach, and gazed down at it. It was amazing, reall, how a woman could hold a child inside of her like that, while it grew. It truly baffled him, but that really wasn't all that hard to do, anyways.
"It's my baby too." He said, keeping her hands on her stomach but moving his gaze upwards to her face now.

[LoneWolf]

"I know it wouldn't help... I just figured..." Now she kind of felt stupid. She looked down at his hands, nodding slightly. "I know..." Suki added in a mumble. It had felt right at the time to leave, to save Ryuu the grief. Now she felt rather guilty for keeping it from him. "But I thought that I would end up losing him as well, I didn't want
to put you through it again." Especially since it was her fault.

[Platinum]

Ryuu smiled at her and liftedone had to stroke her face.
"I would have managed." He told her. "Come back home now, please?" He asked her, peering into her eyes. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, but made no effort to move from the position he was standing in.

[LoneWolf]

Suki kept her head down realizing she probably was looking like an injured dog. "Of course." She murmured softly. "I'm sorry if I worried you." She added before stepping forward and wrapping her arms around him; leaning her head against his chest. The woman had missed him a lot. It had been lonely in the small place. Especially since she didn't know anyone in the town.

[Platinum]

Ryuu laughed.
"S'ite." He told her. "Let's just go now... I'm tired and I want pizza." The man frowned deeply for a brief moment.
"Have you decided on what you're gong to do, with the whole moving in thing?" He asked her.
